GREENSBORO, N. C.
THE LAYERS
Ninety Per Cent. Are
All Right.
NENT the lawyer, and so
much being said about him
here and there and every
where, we notice that- the
, Winston Journal is run
' ning, or has Jieen very recently, a
series of articles by different people
i some lawyers and some laymen, tell
ing what they think the functions
of a lawyer really are. The articles
are interesting, because the lawyer
question is getting to be one that the
people discuss quite freely.
It is our rbtion that' there are
some of the best people engaged in
the practice of law and doubtless
some of the -worst. ' The Richmond
Times-Dispatch not long ago wrote
its leading editorial on the shyster
lawyer: the ambulance chaser and
the characterless man who, with a
license to practice law, practiced
everything else.
A representative lawyer is the man
who will tell you about your case;
who will "tote fair" with both sides,
and who has regard for his - private
character more regard than for
professional notoriety that brings
him into disrepute.
The -characterless lawyer; the am
bulance chaser the fellow who
takes the short turns and who will
do anything for money, is numerous
but not as numerous as we might
suppose .were we to sit down and
make a list of all the lawyers we
know. It is on . the principle o.f the
drunkard or the wanton woman. We
see five or six drunken men rolling
. about the streets of a town; see them
first here and then there but ' al
ways in evidence, we hastily con
clude that the town is full of drunk
ards, whereas we have not taken
note of the hundreds of sober men
we pass every hour. And so with
the wanton woman. One or two bad
eggs of that class make much 'noise;
are much in evidence and . ve see
. them and 'hear from them, never re
membering that perhaps every other
woman of the many hundred! are
virtuous. -"'V.v
And so when we hear of the con
duct of even one lawyer that shocks
our sensibilities we too hastily con
clude that air lawyers are bad. V Of
course they are not. Not over ten in
a hundred but we don't see the. re
maining ninety, and cry out against
. lawyers in general because- the ten
are playing such f rantastic tricks
before high heaven as make the an
gelsweep. Warren; told us all this
in his Ten Thousand a Year, and
Quirk, Gammon & Snap were but
types of the shyster. However, the
lawyer is ma king one - sad mistake
the good lawyer citizen, we mean,
and that is in. assuming that " he
should hold all the offices. That idea
must cease and will cease. The
lawyer , has " been too ; much in evi
dence. He wants to have everything
. going in the shape - of high office
but he can't have it much longer in
North. Carolina.
7 , Generally speaking the-lawyer is a
desirable citizen it is only - the ex
ception that : makes : us weary, and
- makes- us in our. haste -cry out, as
young David cried out that all men
- were liars. : We need the lawyer and
he needs us. :
Iowa To Be Prohibition.
The state of Iowa has passed an
other prohibition bill. The first time
Iowa went dry it was a farce. They
killed Haddock and finally repealed
the' law. This time it' will stick.
Bernhardt.
Sara Bernhardt, the divine . ac
tress, socalle4, suffered an injury to
her knee making the amputation of
a leg necessary. Very old, she says
she will stand the operation and have
no trouble. Wonderful woman, Sara
was a woman most grandly gifted.
. tlobbins Abundant.
According to the government re
port robins, are the most abundant
of any ; birds in the country. .: Cat
birds come next. The complaint, is
that we haven't enough birds; that
they are not protected and all states
should devise ways to see that the
farmers' best friends are not destroy
ed. : ' , . XX,
Some Check.
The other day the banking firm of
Kuhn, JLoeb' & .Co.,', turned over a
check to the Pennsylvania railroad
company for $49,098,000, represent
ing the sales of bonds of that com
pany. That is perhaps as large as
they often write checks. Think of it
almost fifty millions of .dollars.
More money than we ever carry on
our person at one time.
An Ideal Day.
. Sunday was an ideal day. After
all the long dark days the sun was
genial and did not shirk. He shone
all day, and: everybody seemed hap
py and got out and took, advantage
of it. The ground hog ibah!
Where Is He?
Where is Teddy? No one hears of
him any. more. On the River of
Doubt, maybe. -
o :"
Missed His Mark.
A Richmond man, named D. L
Low ery, jealous of his wife, shot her
in a crowd, struck a street car con
ductor in the leg, and made his es
cape. Better, however, to have got
ten it in the leg than in the neck.
On The War Path.
Fifty two Piute Indians in Utah
went' on the'war path.' and gave the
whites some-excitement. But fifty
two Piute Indians that's nothing.
We have seen three thousand Indians
on the war path and in those days
they fought like the devil fighting
virtue. A little picnic of fifty ; two
Piute- Indians hardly worth
place In the telegraph, except for
the novelty of the thing.
A
THE CAMPAIGN.
Merchants' Association Pleased With
Everything's Work.
About a-year ago when parcel's
post commenced to get busy we made
a talk to the Merchants' Association
and among other things, told the
members that we proposed to start
as lively a campaign as we knew
how, to ask people to trade at home.
The members thanked us by a
vote, and later on we were assisted
by them in the matter of additional
publicity. They subscribed for 1000
additional copies of the paper the
price being named -without profit.
They agreed to pay somewhere about
cost for them and this helped that
much. Where we were not largely
read in the county they strengthened
the list, and the campaign has been
lively, and it has been worth while.
All-of the advertising we did, we
did gratuitously. . Didn't ask and
didn't want a red cent for it, and then
to even things up we made a sub
stantial cash donation towards pay
ing ourself for the extra papers on
the cost basis.
We felt that we had done some
thing worth while, and were glad we
were able to do what we did. And
we are going to keep on in the good
work. Many of the state papers hav
not only . taken up the work, but
they have copied our advertisements
and articles giving us credit for the
reading matter and . boldly swiping
the ads": -
But that is good work. It is the
best work a newspaper can engage
in. It beats politics and sporting
news ten to one. At a meeting of
the directors of the Merchants' Asso
ciation the other day the following
reolutions were unanimously adopt
ed, which we appreciate very much r
"Whereas, Col. Al ' Fairbrother,
Editor of 'Everything,' has rendered
invaluable assistance to this Associa
tion, in the inauguration and con
ducting of a 'Trade at Home' cam
paign ; therefore be it
"Resolved, that the thanks of this
Association be, and are hereby . ten
dered to. Col, Fairbrother, for the
efficient service he has rendered and
for the very liberal terms made us."
We expect this year to go further;
to strike harder. If we can get only
one man to stop and think and keep
his money at home we have done
something. But we have done more
than that. We will be only too glad
to co-operate in any way with the
Merchants' Association in future
campaigns of this kind, which are
the best we have ever been in best
for all of us.
Sorry To Hear It.
We regret to learn that Captain J
F. Freeland, chief of police of Dur
ham, is so ill that a temporary chief
has been chosen. The Captain has
many friends who will be glad to
hear-of his speedy recovery..
Durham Merchants - Oppose.
Durham merchants are opposed to
the proposed increase in the interest
rate-from six to ; eight per ' cent
Well, it has two sides, and . dis
cussion generally gets the kinks out
of things.
THE OLD DAYS.
Did Yon Ever Fly A Kit When A
Kidlette?
Of course all boys have had their
kites and , all boys have made mud
pies. To be sure. 1 If not, they
weren't boys they were little men
before they knew it. This little local
story from the Salisbury Post will
be read with ordinary interest by the
young boys, but with more than or
dinary interest by the old boys, the
gray beards like you and me:
"Taking advantage of the stiff
breeze this morning Mr. Ney Kesler
secured one of . the large four-side
kites, about! three feet in height, and
going to the top of the Grubb build
ing set the thing sailing, it going
out in a southerly direction. Six
large balls of cord were used and the
kite went so high that it was barely
viible to the naked eye. Finally the
breeze became so still and the pres
sure was so great that the cord broke
and the kite was set at liberty. How
ever, Mr. Kesler had intended turn
ing it loose and had attached a note
to the same. It was one of the man
ufactured kites and if the wind is
right will sail in space even after it
becomes detached from the cord and
there is no telling how far the one
turned loose this morning went be
fore coming down."
Thousands Of Them.
This administration is certainly
seeing to it that no offices are abol
ished and many new ones are being
created. The pie eater must be tak
en care of, and some think this will
be the last chance for a democrat for
many av year. So they are making
hay while the sun shines.

"Another Good Job.
Mr. A. W. Graham of Oxford, has,
been appointed to a $5,000 position
-it is known as a cotton futures at
tornew He will have headquarters
In New York,- and ; again the fine
Italian hand of Colonel osoorn is
seen. The Colonel "certainly takes
care of his friends and what better

A BIG LOSS.
Jamestown Loses Her Magnificent
High School Building.
Fire detroyed the magnificent
Jamestown high school last week, en
tailing a loss of $10,000 The build
ing will be rebuilt, and we are glad
to know it. i The Jamestown high
school building was one of the best
in ' the county and accommodated
many pupils. No one was injured.
: Distressing Accident.
Last week Speaker Wooten, C. B
Ay cock, engrossing clerk of the sen
ate and : Senator Rivers Johnson "were
in an automobile when the steering
wheel lost out. Young Aycoek was
killed; Speaker Wooten sustained In
ternal injuries and Senator Johnson
was badly bruised. They were out
from Raleigh when the accident oc-
cured. ' ,

Colonel W. H. Chapman Comes Back
Again.
' The Richmond Times-Dispatch has
the following: ,
"Colonel Wiliam H. Chapman, in
ternal revenue agent in charge of the
Second Virginia District for the past
nine years, with headquarters here,
has been transferred to Greensboro,
N. C, tne transfer to become effec
tive on March 1: He will be succeed
ed here by T. H. Vanderford, now in
charge of the Greensboro office.
"The change was ordered by Com
missioner W. H. Osborne, and is said
to be for the efficiency of the service
in both districts.
"Colonel Chapman was one of
Moby's famous command, and served
as lieutenant under that great cav
alry leader. He, is well known and
popular in Richmond, and is greatly
liked by his associates."

Captain Herndon Dead.
Captain John A. Herndon, of Dan

tain Herndon'was one of the pillars
of Danville.' A good citizen. And
when you write that a man was a
good citizen you have extolled his

PRETTY SOON.
West Market Terrace Will Soon
Again Be On.
Those beautiful lots in West. Mar
ket Terrace are still there. The
long rains didn't wash any of them
away. The spring grass will soon
be seen and the work of develop
ment will pretty soon be on again,
and the man who wants a home site
wants to get in on the ground
floor in one of the prettiest suburb
an additions ever laid off, will have
opportunity.
Mr. E. Colwell, Jr., pulled off his
sale to wait for the battle to be over
that was when we all thought that
three or four weeks would bring
about results. But the long drawn
out war came and people stopped
buying real estate. But with the
boom just about to develop in this
city West Market Terrace will be one
of the desirable places sought. And
the blue prints are all ready and
just as soon. as the first robin chirps
his salute you will see something
doing. . And now while the robins
are started is a good time for you
to go out and select the lot you want.
This Will Do.
The New Bern Sun is already at it.
It reports that S. B. Edwards caught
an eel that had two legs. When eels
