Itv some-
tjmes happens that an editor has
j more iulluenco in croatiug.au.
j oducatnona 'spirit in a coihmu-
pty" than all else combined.
! One thincr is , evident, and .that
is that education is not a matter
of chauce. If people do not care
for books, sermons, lectures a.n
schools there is always a cause
for such a stato of affairs, if we
but try ' to find it. Quite fro
quently it happens that one per
son can tear down faster than a
dozen persons can build up.
' United effort is what is nec
essary to build up the education
al interests of Concord, of Ca
barrus county, and of the entire
State.' Am I willing to do my
part? This question should ap
peal to each individual, atad upon
its answer in a practical way
will depend the result.
Now here are a few points
that need attention:
1. The Country Schools.-
Anything that can be done to
benefit the country schools wil
do more than anything else to
solve the problem. Lawyers,
teachers, preachers,, may assist
by going into the country and
giving talks. But talks alone
are not enough. Ultimately
there must bo legislation, yes, it
may even come to compulsory
education. And why not? Cit
izenship is one of the great ob
jects of-education. Education is
absolutely necessary in a Re
public! If tno State has 'the
right to raise and distribute
money for education, does it not
seem reasonable that ,it should
go a step further if necessary
and say that children must at
tend school? What I want to
say is that we are not in a stato
of chance. ;
Cotton does not grow unless
all lho conditions necessary for
the "crop are observed. The old.
fig and thistle question is as truo
in North Carolina, as any place
else iu the world. But what
else?
2. In tho next placo there is a
duty resting upon all young men
of tho State. They ought to be
ashamed if not able to meet tho
educational qualification neces
sary to vote. Employ a private
teacher, go to a night school,
form a debating club, do some
thing that will develop your
brain and make you able to do
your dutyas a citizen. If noth
ing elo will aroBsoyou send for

things.
A. Then there is a duty rest
ing upon managers and bos-s of
millsalso. Kindergartens, night
schools, free d ay school, free li
braries. There are rnanv such
V -
t lings that may be done for mill
children if tho willing spirit is
seeking a way.
The day of the old humpback,
clcsetisted boss must pas-, away.
The successful mill manager of
tho future must be a man of soul
who has a genuinojnterest in the
welfare of his employees and
who. does not live in coustant
dread of losing his job because
Jie cannot grind out five por cent.
dividend every six months.
5. The church and tho Sunday
School have a duty to perform
also. Ignorance blocks tho work
of the church. The time has
come when every individual, like
the miner, should carry his own
lamp, and the songs and prayers
that go up from, tho churches
should arise, not from the spirit
alone, but from the spirit and
the understanding as well.
I was pleased to meet a Sunday
School man the other day who
said that in his talks he empha
sized the here and the now. It
is a satisfaction to moot a per
son occasionally who has quit
looking for heaven with a tele
scope and trying to fiud 'God
with a microscope.
6. This leaves me just room
enough to speak of the Teachers'
Institute to bo held at Concord
the week of August 27. Come
let us reason together. The law
says come; the county examiner

cradles say como!

A High Point special of the
16th to the Charlotte Observer
says:
'.'This ' afternoon about 5:30
o'clock, duritlg a hard rain and
thunder storm, Charley Guire,
who lives near here, was in
stantly killed by lightning.. He
was coming into town in a wagon
and when found was dead iu his
vehicle. It is supposed that tlie
horse traveled some 300 feet
after the lightning did its work,
judging from the time inter
vening between the report of the
thunder and when Mr. Guire's
lifeless body was found. He
was struck in tho front of his
body, the current burning the
hair off in a long streak. The
horse escaped unhurt. Ho was
carried in the Monarch Mills and
doctors summoned, but on.exam-
ination it was found that life was
extinct."
