The Charlotte minister who declar ed that he is a poor preacher who can not keep his congregation awake, surely excepts the Charleston preach ers from this statement. Greenville Piedmont. (Lumberton Robesonian.) The Robesonian has received following from Parkton: "Will you or some one else explain to us up in this part of the county how we are to comply with the com pulsory school law? We have no school near enough for our children to go. The white people are moving awav to keen from being punished. The school house that has been used or school purposes is now used for negroes to preach in. Any informa tion will be gladly received. S. T. Moore." County Sunerintendent of Public Instruction Poole advises that the law doesn't apply if one is not within 2 1-2 miles of a school house. Our natter- standing of the law Is that the county board of education is allowed enough discretion in . enforcing the law not to work any real hardship on any body. The Hopeless. .

Complete organization of the new ly formed Mecklenburg Declaration Society was perfected yesterday and, committees are -now busy laying ex pensive plans for making the celebra tion of the next twentith of May the Weatest in the history of the city. This celebration is to be state wide in its scope, and it should De, for the signing of the Mecklenburg Declaration is not a historic fact of more local value. It is state-wide end nation wide in its scope, and the ,-tvhoIe state will take a hand in prop erly celebrating it. Kiser Co,, Is Very Opti mistic Over the XJut look. "There's a clear track now for the business train of 1914," said Gordon P. Kiser, president of the M. C. Kiser company, wholesalers of Shield Brand shoes, "The good crops and prices of 1913 rolled the barriers of old debts out of the way. The tariff and cur rency laws have pounded two old buga boo boulders into fragments and the fragments now serve as ballast under the road of progress insteal of being obstacles upon it. Business leaders everywhere are showing a commend able disposition to co-operate with the administration in helping solve Vexng problems in a way that will right con ditions and at the same time not dis turb the business equilibrium of the nation. 'In the territory served by Atlanta's wholesale market the business of the new year has started off with a firm and steadily increasing volume. Shield Brand shoes have such a demand as they never had before. In my estima tion this is due to two reasons: First, the effort being to make it permanent, an organization being formed to keep it going so that new committees will not have to be appointed for every celebration. By all means Major Hemphill should be present; also The Columbia State force. These gentle men are sadly in need of conversion. Greensboro Record. A Plea to the Unseeing. The attentiou of the esteemed Co lumbia State is called to the fact that its neighbor, Charlotte, is already mov ing for a big Twentieth of May cele bration and that President Wilson may be induced to grace the occasion with his presence. Greensboro Rec ord. - Oak Ridge. - 4 Early last Saturday morning both the school buildings at Oak Ridge In stitute were destroyed by fire. The loss waa about $35,000.

However any one can readily tell you 'how the tariff and currency laws or succeeding republican administra tions managed to put it where it was when Wilson went into office. salers and manufacturers here have arranged for them. 'The house of Kiser always has a cordial welcome awaiting its patrons and friends whenever they visit At lanta and we extend a special invita tion to the February visitors to come and see us at that time and make our store at 17 East Hunter street their headquarters." Wnt After Oak Ridge. Fire destroyed the school buildings of Oak Ridge Institute at an early hour last Saturday morning, entailing a loss of approximately $30,00. -Busy Charlotte took up the matter at onee and are after the location of the in stitute ?n that city. The school is noted for its excellence in training and ranked as one of the best in the South, accommodating nearly 300 students. Mooresville Enterprise. . Lieut. Governor Wagner, of New York, says he will retire shortly be- cause he "Is tired of office holding." There are several thousand patriots in New York state who are hanker ing for a chance to enjoy that tired feeling. The State wants to know what has become of the old-fashioned mother who once a week looked at the kid's tongue and shoveled a cord of Col. Calomel down its throat. The price of radium has been re duced to $90,000 per gram. If it ever , gets to the point where one may ! take two looks at it for a nickel we shall make its acquaintance. Advice to a Son. 'The late Michael Maybrick, the com: poser of "The Blue Alsatian Moutains' and many other famous songs", said a New York music publisher, according to the Washington Star, "was a senti mental soul. He had old-fashioned, sen timental ideas about honor and love and rectitude. l once introduced Maybrick m London to a successful financier. May brick told me afterwards that the fin- .ncier" whose career, had been check ered, reminded him of old Millions. Then, in scornful accents, he told me this story " 'Remember one thing said old Millions on his death-bed to his son. 'Remember this one thing. It is a rule I've followed all my life. It's, the se cret, m fact, of my success. Yes, father; yes,' man eagerly. " 'Never do a jailable act,' whisper-- ed the old man in impressive' tones. 'Hire somebody to. do Jt for you.' ." Favors Charlotte. We are pleased to note that Char lotte made a most favorable impres sion before the powers that be in putting forth her claims for the re gional bank, and we hope that this progressive city will land it. We fail to see how, under the circumstances any town in North Carolina could ad vocate the cause of Richmond for this bank, when this statfisjias a town in the race for the place. Yet some of them have done so, and this, too, in the. face of the fact that Richmond was in the fight Against North Caro lina for reduced freight rates. .
