And he shall judge among many people, and rebuke strong nations afar Off; and they shall beat their swords into ploughshares, and their spears into pruninghooks: nation shall not lift up a sword against nation, neither shll they learn war any more. But they shall sit every man under his vine and under his fig tree; and none shall make them afraid: for the mouth of the Lord Of hosts hath spoken it. DEMOCRATIC REVIVAL. The Democrats' gave significant indi cation in the elections of Tuesday that the breath of life is beginning to stir again throughout the valley of last year's dry bones. No wonder that such an able dissector and interpreter of current events as David Lawrence finds that there is a general tone of Demo cratic success throughout the various State elections, starting with New York and running on down through territory of lesser imoortance.

NEW EDUCATION BOARD CHAIR MAN. The election of Flummer Stewart to the chairmanship of the county board of education brings back into local edu cational circles one who has been keen ly interested in this form of public serv ice and one also wha has given the cause much of his time and better thought. As chairman of the city boart for a number of years Mr. Stewart dis played acute interest in the expansion of the educationel interests of the com munity and his retirement from that L capacity was regretted by a host of people in the city who admired the in terest he took In the work and the zeal with which he prosecuted these public duties. He comes back into the educational sphere now as chairman of the county board and the one ought to be regard ed as Important as the other. In some respects the county chairmanship is, just at this peculiar time, of more vital Importance for the reason that the en tire system of rural education is in a period of transition, and any transition is a time for serious study and reflec tion. Under the able leadership of Dr. Brooks, rural education is being com pletely changed in North Carolina and in this county. We are no longer con tent to give the child of the country side any sort of an old shack for a achool building and an indiscriminate course of study. We are demanding ?ood buildings, not fine, but substantial school houses, competent teachers with x definite schedule of study just as prevails with the city schools- The whole thought behind the machinery Df rural education now is that the rural hild deserves and must have just as acceptable educational facilities as the urban child. To this end, movements for consolida tion of rural schools have been under taken here and everywhere in the State. Some very successful projects of this sort have been carried out in Mecklen burg county and others are in the mak ing. The personnel of the present coun ty board is committed to this improve ment in rural school facilities and it is, therefre gratifying to learn, accord ing to Mr. Stewart's declaration as car iled in this newspaper Wednesday, that the new chairman believes In the same principles of expanded rural schools. The community may look with confi dence to him to take the right sort of leadership in the development of the school interests of the county, to be progressive but conservative, also; to have the wellbeing of the masses in mind at all times and to give accepta ble and faithful service. senses and in Republican strongholds In many other States, the triumph of th Democrats was of such importance as to make congressional leaders in Wash ington prick up their ears- That is notably true of the Repub lican leaders "who, however, may not have been any more surprised than the Democrats. The latter do not yet ap pear to have totally survived the catas trophe of last Fall and while there is some semblance of renewed activity in the ranks of leadership, no great organized democratic movement has been started as yet looking toward the next congressional elections. However, the Republicans are reported as being downcast by Virtue of the returns, to see in them the first flushes of a fight ahead of them to retain the honors and to be disposed to regard them with CLOSE UP AND SHARE? IN IT. The committees having Armistice Day arrangements in hand appear to have outlined a day of significant ac tivities for this community, a program in which many different social, civic, fraternal and patriotic orders may par ticipate and the day's exercises to be featured by an address by Governor Morrison. We again bespeak for the committee that has worked so faithfully to bring to pass a creditable celebration the heartiest co-operation and support of the public generally. The merchants have acted with commendable sympathy with the day's program by agreeing upon the closing of their stores and all other places of business, whether these are run by members of the asso ciation or not, should fall in with the closing movement, to the end that, bus iness and industry may halt for the moment while a community and a na tion pause to remember their sacred dead. It isn't much that can be done by the public that will fittingly express its gratitude for the soldiers who gave their greatest possession to the cause of world-peace. Mighty little it seems merely to stop for a day and in festive exercises call to mind their splendid heroism and their dauntless valor! But if this is done in proper spirit, it will not merely become a suitable token of the community's gratitude, but an iiicen- c e r 1 1 t 1 1 e n a c a . - , x, tive for the stirring up of the proper There is little room for doubt that .... ...... ... the reaction against the present Admin istration is discernible. Everywhere over the country, the people are more or less discontented with what they are get ting, with the insipid, hit-and-miss sort of conduct on the part of the National leaders. Visitors from the South to New York almost uniformly report that they come in contact in the metropolis with strong currents of reaction against the Administration and even some who have been in the New England States come back to say that in Republican strongholds there, the present govern ment is unsatisfactory and that there is a feeling of chagrin and somewhat of an air apologetic. These things, coupled with the more emphatic message of the Tuesday elec tions, assert that the people have been doing a little thinking since last No vember and once the American people get down to genuine hard, honest-to-goodness thinking, something generally happens. It may be that they are about to conclude that former President Wil son was not so far wrong after all in CHRISTIAN SENTIMENT IT. BEHIND patriotism and the right appreciation for the sort of folks of which this great country is made- There are 117,000 tenants, approxi mately, in North Carolina, which is just the number of newly-owned farms which the state needs. "My dear," began Mrs. Luke DeLlte, "SUA vnn pniov th show tonight?" "Not by a dern sight," signea uvi spouse, "for there were two nuts In the house who sat behind me at the play and talked about the price of. hay. Just at the point that I like ,.t when Hamirf saw his father s , ghost, one dumb galoot made so much fuss I thought the roof had dropped on us. Constantly throughout the show I heard the racket on that row. virst one boob would snort and shout and almost drown the music Out. Then ) the other wagged his jaw ana snoi. some brainless done on straw, every one was in a rage. They never once looked at the stage. It seemed that they were drawing pay io ueuuw . lortn anu quet-r me iia-t could the actors speak while these two nuts were at their peak. Everybody turned around to trace the source of the sound. Nothing could be done at all to silence such a brainless drawl. I even turned around and sneered but too late, for the show was queered. Ere long Hamlet was forgotten. Urn here to state the show was rotten." Now, ye who wield a noisy tongue while plays are played and music sung, you know what this man thinks of you. The whole town thinks the same thing, too. The show is not a place to chat. Good people do not go for that. Unless you would be thought a nut, see that you keep your sound box shut. Copyright. 1021. by Aevrs Publishing Co WILL ABANDON RAILROAD. Macon. Ga., Nov. 10. Judge H. A. Mathews, of Superior Court, yesterday signed an order authorizing the aban donment of the Hawkinsville and Flor ida Southern Railway, which has been in the hands of a receiver more than a year. BOTHERING KOALj BUILDERS. The State highway commission is threatening to dissolve unless the people stay out of the courts with restraining! orders, etc., forbidding the commission to do what it wants to do in the way of building hard-surfaced roads. It is very annoying to the commissioners to' have the lay-outs of their engineers questioned and, of course, if the courts propose to intervene to any great extent in designating by way of de-limitation the authority of the board, its rights in the premises will be impaired to such an extent that it can not function effi ciently. It is supposed to be a body composed of men of sound judgment, who have only the interests of the pub- his contention that the world would , lie at heart and who rely upon the judg never get right until there-is a league ment of engineers to tell them where of nations and nntil America takes the any given road should be run and how leadership in it. . Perhaps, also, the i it should be built. masses of the people are beginning to discern that the Republican Adminis- Disappointed citizens have the courts to rely upon to restrain the commission tration which they seemed so eager to j from doing what its engineers advise try out is running .about true to f orm ; and, obviously, if the courts should in that it so far has been concerned j undertake to humor every injunction only with the few, and careless of the i proceeding, the commission would not interests of the many. Or, perhaps, the be able to locate itself very long. Its voters generally, who cast their ballots "for a change" are turning against the sort of a change they got, a change from action to inaction, front a strong, virile, courageous conviction to a weak, vacillating, weather-vane sort that doesn't seem to be able to get the ship of State out of the harbor. Whatever the claims to distinction set forth by President Harding and his as sociates, the fact remains, and the peo ple know it, that almost nothing has been done since last March and that what little has been done, is of no benefit to the masses of the people or to their constructive interests. The world is still topsy-turvy and domestic interests are so uncertain as ever as to which way to proceed- The vaunted Republican efficiency and brain-monopoly have so far failed to function. And the voters are on to it. first duty should be, all the time, to deal without discrimination and par tisanry toward any section of counties over which it has supervision, to humor las many constituents as possible, to do its duty uniformly, and so long as it confines itself to this program, the courts ought to sustain the board. Cer tainly, nobody will expect the commis sioners to please everybody. They couldn't do that unless they were sud denly changed from the human to the angelic.

OETaOtV 2 n It is cause for jubilation among Democrats, of course, that New York went anti-Republican in city elections, but how it went that way. is quite an other matter. We are not prepared to say that the conference on disarmament, a history making event it may be, beginning Friday, is the direct result of the ef fort and sentiment of the Christian people of this continent, but the fact is patent that it is this type of our citi zens who have taken the leadership in the educational and propaganda cam paign incidental to it. Almost ever since that moment a few months ago when General Tasker H. Bliss wrote to eminent leaders of the Christian Churches in America that the Christian people could force the nation into dis armament if they wanted to, there has been no relaxation of the efforts of the churches and their memberships. It is the Christian people who believe in peace and who want to see an end of war. Of course, many people who are not professedly Christian, have sense enough anyhow, to want the same thing, but so far as distinctive classes are concerned, it is the church-going folks who have lent themselves in sea son and out of season to a preaching of, the gospel of pacifism and disarma ment. And the prayers of these, people may be behind the start of a great movement that has in it the possibility of .giving the world what it wants permanent peace. For, even in this unthinking age, the prayers of the titeous will avail much. COTTON WILL BE IN DEMAND. In the event that by next Spring the world's cotton machinery shall have been set in motion to anything like a normal degree, there Is going to be an awful scramble to get what little cotton the South has made this year. It make3 no difference if the aggrgeate output does run a little beyond what has been calculated, even though the excess amounts to as much as a million bales, which seems somewhat probable now, not anything like enough cotton is in sight to meet the demand, if the de mand is natural and organic. At present of course, the absorbing markets are shot to pieces- It is dull times in domes tic markets and abroad, the textile in dustry is only beginning to get over the first shocks of the disastrous inter ruption of war. It will be some time yet before Europe becomes a contender in this industry, but by Spring the Ameri can mills cught to be going at full tilt and to be competing for the best grades of cotton produced this year. In such an event cotton prices will rush up beyond their present level and by . reason of the large amount of raw materials which abound on the farms of the South, farmers may yet realize on their holding movement. It is not The women will have to stand for a great deal since they have entered the arena of politics, but to blame them, as the despatches do, for the election of that anomaly of a mayor of Youngs town, Ohio, would seem to be unjustly magnif ying . their inexperience at the polls. It seems suddenly to have dawned upon the intelligences Xf the nations that Sherman's definition of war was just about right. "Gets-It" Ends All Corns Jut As Good for Calluses.
