Winston BepnDllcaa- For several weeks our letters hare been about old people and things of long ago. and we want to talk about old folks again this week grandpa and grandma. I was going up street not long ago and I saw an old lady, who seemed to be about 80, coming down on the opposite side of the street. Her form once erect, was now stooped Her hair once as black as the raven's wing, was, as white as the drifted snow. The step tnat was once quicK and elastic, was 'slow and shuffling. She was bloorainz for the grave. She wa9 standing on the very brink THE ONE SURE WAY to have money is to' save it. The one 6ure way to save it is by depositing it in a responsible bank.

The recent editorials in this paper on the extravagant allowances paid to receivers and attorneys in the case of corporations that are under control of the court has brought many letters of approval and com mendation, not alone from the public in general, but from some Judges. One Judge said a few days ago, "I am very glad that you have begun this crusade in behalf of the creditors and stockholders. It is very difficult for a Judge to keep these expenses down when all the lawyers and re ceiver in the case representing the creditors and other interests have agreed upon certain allowances. Your editorials will strengthen our hands and put public sentiment be hind U3 in stopping the excessive allowances." . A business man in Piedmont North Carolina, who has lost money by this practice writing a private letter to the editor, savs: "Your, articles will benefit many innocent stock- you?" She looked at the old woman holders here in this part of the moral vineyard who have been robbed. You see it is this way: some fellow who has a claim against a company gets afraid that he will not get his money, he writes to one of these 'cross road" lawyers and employs him to ask for a receiver for the company, the lawyers asked for a re ceiver, but asked that a certain person be named as receiver. Of course, the lawyer is the attorney for the receiver and is looking out himself and his clients. As a rule the persons appointed receiver knows nothing of the business they are put in charge of and consequently they sometimes ,give away the property as fast as possible in order that they mav wind up the business and get their fees. As far as my observation goes the majority of these receivers are incompetent. In the average receivershiD when the property is worth $50,000 and the liabilities $30, 000. bv the time one of these in comDetent receivers winds up the business, the stockholders get noth ing, while the receivers and lawyers get the big pickings. The judges ought to make a rule not to appoint a receiver until he has required a re port of the Board of Directors in regular session and ask their wishes in the matter, and when he appoints a receiver he ought to name a man whs halt nraetical knowledge of this practical business and will be willing ing to rock and nurse the little ones to arf the work necessarv for a I and do anything he could. 1 mocked moderate sum. Most of. the re- him and turned a deaf ear to his Iceivers get about $25.00 per day fori cries and tears, and took him to the - I th actual service and some of I poorhouse. It is the thought of my them could not make $5.00 a day at cruelty to my poor 01a dear latner anything else; this is ashame, and that makes me weep. My punish- our Judges do not look into it these ment is just; I must reap as I have matters as they should. If they did, sown. As soon as you are rested let we would not have so many Btock holders losintr what they have hon estly made, most of them being wid ows and orphans." It sometimes happens, too. that the receivers hire men to do the work, pay their agents out of the expenses, and present bills enough to eive themselves a handsome sum when, as a matter of fact, the Re ceivers have not earned $100.00 One lawyer not long ago put in a fee of $2,500 for a service he would have rendered a solvent client for $100. and was outraeed when the iudere was asked to reduce the' fee. Iri the case of the Pomona Cotton Mills, there was no good reason for takine it out of the State courts and not a semblance of reason for having three receivers. The total cost upon a liberal t)lan should not have ex ceeded $4,000 or $5,000, nevertheless it cost $27,000 or $28,000. The cost and fees in the Odell receivership was a scandal. Such things must be stopped. The central points on to? grea through automobile line of the New York Herald-Atlanta Journal are given by the latter paper.

How we enjoy the company of grandma when she lives to herself and we visit her occasionally, but when she moves into our own homes and becomes a member of our fami ly it becomes another matter entire ly. Human nature is the very same today as it was when Shakespeare wrote: "Crabbed apte and youth Cannot live together. There is not a creature in the whole animal kingdom that does not provide for its young according to the course of nature until its young is able to take care of itself, but man alone takes thought for the a;ed and infirm of his race, and, largely, in the proportion that we concern our selves about the comfort and happi ness of the aged and infirm in our own nomes, ana in tne country. State and Nation, do we rise above the brute creation and cause the animal in our nature. What if grandma is sometimes cross and pettish? May be the con on her nervous system fousht. Passing llagerstown. Md.. the route traverses the famous civil war field of Antietam, touching Charles ton in the panhandle of West Vir ginia. It enters Virginia at Berryvule, and then takes a sort turn westward to Winchester, famed in codnection with the name of Gen. Phil Sheridan. There it enters upon the Shenan doah Valley pike, which it follows southward along the skirts of the Blue Rige mountains. It passes through Lexington. Va., where both Gen. Robert E. Lee and Gen. Stonewall Jackson are buried. Just South of Lexington it passes through Natural Bridge, where is located the world-wonder of that name. 1 hence it passes to noanoke. Crossing the Blue Ridge mountains south of Roanoke, it enters the great est tobacco-growing section in the world, on the upper lands of Virginia the Old Dominion state. Here it traverses some of the old est roads in the nation - some of the original stage roads that grew from the Indian trails found by the early pioneers. Here again is the atmosphere of the Revolution that gave the nation birth. Here, too, is the nation's latest progress mumested in a manufac turing section where the cotton of the South is "handled at home." Passing through Salisbury and Concord, famous in old history.it enters Charlotte, the seat of Meck lenburg county. The Mecklenburg Declaration of Independence was signed within a few miles of Char lotte. Below Charlotte are. King s Mountain, Blacksburg. GafTney and Cowpens, indelibly set down in chron icles of the Revolution. Then comes Spartanburg and Greenville and the fertile uplands of South Carolina. At Andersoon. the route nears Georgia, crossing the line on Knox bridge over the Tugalo river and passing Lavonia and Commerce. From Lawrenceville, if the alter native to Duluth is not selected, the route will pass by the foot of Stone mountain, the biggest solid block of stone in the world, set down there by Nature's giant strength to be picked to pieces and moved away in atoms by mere man through the rest of history. i And thence the route heads to its close in Atlanta, the caoital city of the Empire State of the South. prolonged.

She' Says That Parisian Sage is the Only Real Hair Tonic. Parisian Sage is the quick acting hair grower that can now be obtained in Amer ica and that is guaranteed by Gibson Drug Store to cure dandruff, stop falling hair and itching sc ilp in two weeks or money back. Mrs. Johnson says: "Parisian Sage is the only hair tonic that ever benefitted my hair. I began and used it daily for a while I used it according' to directions. I absolutely positive that it will thoroughly cleanse the scalp and hair, stop irritation, eradicate dandruff, stimulate the growth of the hairt prevent baldness, and make the hair soft and silky." Mrs. Sue John son, 229 4th St., Frankfort, Ky. Parisian Sage Is a most delicately per fumed hair dressing and has not a particle of stickiness or greasiness in it. Women who desire beautiful and lux uriant hair that will attract and fascinate, should use Parisian Sage. Leading drug gists everywhere sell it, Gibson Drug Store sells it in Concord for 50 cents a large Dottle and guarantees it to give sat isfaction, 0 money back.

Georgia' prohibition Legislature has been very much upset over Gov. Brown's announcement that he would abide by the written pledge he made to the prohibitionists before the e'ection that he would veto any sort of prohibition bill that the pres ent Legislature might enact. The prohibitionists, in demanding this pledge, feared that the whisky men would endeavor to get some sort of a law passed by which the operations of tbe present prohibition law would be nullified. They had not antici pated the coming of near-beer, nor had thev thought of the possibility that they, themselves, would be the ones to call for further prohibition legislation. So they made Governor Brown sign a pledge that in the event of any further prohibition leg lation. he would veto it. 'Now they come with another prohibition bill and Governor Brown informs them that according to his pledge, he will veto it. . - NEW CROP Turnip Seed! ALL VARIETIES 40 cents per pound.
