TWENTY YEARS NOT MANY
IN THE WHIRL OF LIFE
Twenty years are not many in the
whirligig of time not many as men
measure time by cycles not many
when we look ahead, but quite -a
stretch if we sit down in contempla
tive mood with a backward glance.
In the Charlotte Observer's depart
ment of what happened 20 years ago
we read this item:
"Alamance county convention met
at Graham yesterday and passed ring
ing resolutions endorsing her favorite
son, Col. James E. Boyd, for governor
Delegates were elected and a strong
committee named to go to Raleigh to
work for and urge his nomination."
Twenty years ago and Colonel Jim
Boyd now Judge Boyd was a man of
fifty; he was running for governor on
the Republican ticket and he ran
well. We recall that campaign. The
Judge of course was not elected Re

LAWYERS CHASE THE
r COURTS AROUND A BIT
Governor Craig has ordered a spe
cial term of court for Wilkes countv
to convene June 16 and to run two
weeks.-. Judge Shaw, of Greensboro,
will preside. The lawyers asked for
it, because the docket was congested.
And yet had the lawyers done their
part there would have been no con
gestion. The lawyers, knowing the
game, manage to run the courts about
as they please when it comes to post
poning cases. The tax payer pays
the freight.
CHARLOTTE EXPECTS THE
PRESIDENT VISIT IT
The grim strategists of Charlotte
who have the Mecklenburg celebration
in hand the celebration of the event
which Colonel Charley Van Noppen and
Captain Sam Ashe tell us did not
transpire, hold out hope that no matter
what happens there need be no fear
concerning President Wilson's visit
They show why he can come even if
he is at war with the world. In fact
they figure that to come and read
anew that immortal declaration would
fill him with new fire make him firm
er in his stand. But we take it that
this is simply advertising which pays.
The Mecklenburg Myth so called,
still has its followers, and we are one
who falls for it. It is a pleasant dream
this thing of thinking that Tom Jef
ferson swiped his Declaration; that
North Carolina men who were to die
for that priceless boon which men call
liberty first signed up and put in hock
their lives, their fortunes and their
sacred honor. Really it may be true.
And really if it isn't true why not let
us believe it? Why should ruthless
invaders come into our homes and
knock off the mantel the little Plaster
of Paris idols which we bought at a
ten cent store? Why upset our apple
cart as we walk up hill? Why not let
the Myth crystallize in tp a Reality
wnicn it would do if all men would be
lieve and proclaim. Oral tradition is
lost the recorded history carries a
shadow but if in our hearts when
children we believed in SantaClaus
why Santa Claus existed and that's
ah there was of it. :
STRANGE THINGS ARE
ALWAYS OCCURRING
There is always something strange
happening in this world of wireless
and doodle bugs. The story comes
from Kinston that Jack, a valuable
hound dog owned by Mr. Fred M.
Scott, of that city, has been returned
to his master after spending several
weeks as a patient in Dr. J. F. Foley's
veterinary hospital at Kinston" where
he received treatment for an injured
paw sustained wnen the jaws of a
steel trap closed down on that mem
ber some weeks ago down in the
Havelock section of the county.
Jack was caught in the trap one
Sunday afternoon. The trap was in
an isolated spot and no one heard the
howls of the dog and it was not until
the following Sunday that the owner
of the trap returned and found the
dog caught within its iron jaws.
Of course the dog was released. He
wagged his tail and lived happily
ever after. Those who love dogs, of
the which we are one, rejoice in this.
Those who do not love dogs will re
gret that he was recovered.
WHAT CAN BILLY
DO IN RICHMOND
And Billy Sunday is to visit Rich
mond but not until a year or so has
passed. And what can Billy expect to
do in a State where likker has been
banished; where but one sacred quart
can be obtained; where the common
wealth has decreed that" red light dis

remain quiet. Billy, should have come

ATTORNEY DOES A LITTLE

He speaks. Hard to pick up a pa

Attorney General Bickett is going to
make a political speech booming
himself. And at the same time he is
supposedly a servant of the State
drawing a salary, not to be out boost

attorney general. If there is nothing
for an attorney general to do but
make stump speeches for himself why
should the tax payers retain him?
law along the line to the effect that
no State officer could run for another
office while serving the State would
be but simple justice.
G. J. WARREN COMES IN
FOR ONE MORE COUNT
It isn't over yet. The body of G. J.
Warren, the man killed by the people
whose sentence to death was commut
ed by Governor Craig, is to be taken
up and t buried by the Junior Order.
Warren carried $500 insurance. This
money will go to his mother who lives
in Alabama. The hysterical ones who
plead for the lives of the two guilty
fiends should have worked some sort
of a scheme to have gotten that mon
ey for the folk who killed Warren.
Looks like that would have been
along the lines of the governor's
ideas of justice.
