Om May 7, 1909. S "The. following pbBfeoffices in Stanly county have been .discon tinued: Epcky River Springs Millingpoit and Sprite. The pa trons of these offices are being sup plied by rural free mail deliveries. Up to the - present time the RrjoBftvftlt camn has killed four lions . i Teddy, with his mighty gun. brought down three of them, AAAh on tho first shot while his Bon.'Ketmit, killed the fourth one of the jungle kings, though he had jc malte threo snots Wlin nis rmo before he killed his quarry. , A newspaper is one of the great est things in the world to boost a town, heln it erow. concentrate public opinion on the general wel fare, attract buBiness and stimn late enterprises. It can be strong and do much or it will be weak and accomplish a very little just in proportion as it is given pa tronage. Patronage is.itB food, its life. If patronage is withheld be cause oi mamerence, prejudice ' or other causes it, matters not whatt no paper will be able to exist long, and no town, however rrond and finanoiallv able, will long' maintain, one in its midst. A I newspaper has no authority to comnel natronase. It can orily furmshlthe news, solicit subscrip- . " i -t . i. lions ana aavertiBoiuBJLibB, a good, clean print and be regular in its publication, thus - doincr its full part, and yet be a burden to its publishers When this is the case the com munity, in, which it exists . is to blame, should it fail to exist, not the paper. The kind of patronage that is worth while is regular j cor dial and lastinz. The kind that kills, is of the spasmotic variety, Tiiggardly in quantity and grudg ingly given. The man who makes an advertising contract tor a spe cified amount of space and a given "length of time and then fails to live up to his. agreement hurts the paper aod his firm. A newspaper advertising contract, or subscrip tion contract, is as sacred as any other kind of a contract, even though it be only a verbal one. These remarks are made in a general sense and are applicable to any community. It is the inten tion of The Recokd -tp stay at and live in China Grove, and we have- reason to believe that it is appre ciated, yet we want a fair deal and believe that when thegood peo pie awake to the true conditions that we will have no reason to complain. Now that conditions, politically and otherwise, have settled down somewhat, let's all pull together for the welfare of our town and community. -Push The Recobd and The Record will help push "the town. All together. Every dollar paid The Recobd .helps China Oroye, helps her to grow and helps the town generally. An AgreemenUReached. Peace between mine workers and operators, in the anthralcite coal region of Pennsylvania, is as sured for another period of three years. The agreement, continu ing in force until March 81, 1912, the awards of the anthracite coal -strike commission was signed by 'the committee of seven on behalf of the mine owners and a simnlar committee representing the work ers. " With the exception of five add ed stipulations suggested by the miners, the agreement is identi C8l with the one signed in New York three years ago. The mine jsrorkers union is not officially recognized, the members of the minors committee simply signing , the agreement "on behalf of the representatives of the anthracite Lxnine workers," -The conference waa a 'harmonious affair and end- ed with 'everybody happy," as on eof the committeemen expressed tPhiUdelpbiadiinatch, II THE SUPERIOR COURT.

Great Britain France and Germany were ahead of us. in the order name. We passed Great Britain, in 1880, and today the aggregate of our manu factuiing equals that of Great Britain, Germany" and France combined. The value of our pro ducts of manufactures has doub led since 1898. In value of the property , represented, mannfac tures ranks third among. the great activities of the United States, ag riculture being first and the rail roads second, but the number o persons employed agriculture is thB only interest that leads man ufactures.
