A lack of c operation means retrogress i and ruin. It was confusion o speech that made impossible operation that brought to an e» the efforts to construct the tov er of Babel, the moststupendn undertaking ever engaged in \ \ man. Lack of co-operation on t) part of General Grouchy, « Waterloo, destroyed Napoleon'; dream of an Empire. And i' stances might be multipli where lack of co-operation ha? brought ruin and devastatiot •'United we stand, divided fall" is a saying true and wi.-e. No town has greater possibilities for growth than Hickory. Ar unexcelled climate that makes it possible to carry on any occupa tion every day in the year; a geo graphical position that makes t the ideal place for any and a! kinds of manufacturing indus tries together with a high-class citizenship, it is a town that i* destined to be a leader among th towns of the South. This is no time for the kicket or the grumbler. Our splendi Chamber of Commerce has star t ed the home-seeker and the caj i tal investor our way and we as i people should see to it that th "ball continues to roll." There will always be differen zea of opinion among men. N> two men can see exactly alike o any question. Freedom of though and freedom of expression art fundamental principles of Amer icanism. No system of govern ment will ever be devised that will meet every idea of every man. Hickory has recently voted by a small majority to change hei system of government. Now, ir as much as we have the new sys tem, and all must live under its provisions, would it not be well for each of us to fall in line ana endeavor to make it a success, and work co-operatively for a bigger and better Hickory? ROBERT M. PHILLIPS. Every newspaper man in the State and much of the reading public will feel a personal loss in the death of Robert M. Phillips, associate editor of The Greens boro Daily News. It is hard for us who knew him personally to realize that this genial spit it is no more. We doubt if there is another newspaper man in the State who is so widely known and so univer sally popular as was Col. Bob, a* we all liked to call him. Genial and kind to an unusual degree, he made friends of all with whon he came in contact. Never in al: his career as an editor did he in tentionally, write an offensive line. He spoke only the goot things, leaving the unkind word» unspoken and unwritten. Tht State is better for his having lived and we all mourn for hi» death. That was a broadminder clergyman who recently, in one of his sermons, asserted that God does not fix the death rate. There are many agencies that contribute to maintaining a high d£ath rate, and chief among these are those persons who think that disease and death are sent by a Divine Providence as a punishment for our sins. Then come those who flout at all health laws.and refuse to ever be taught how to do the things that make for community health and safety. We offer heartiest congratula tions to Brother Williams of the Newtnn Enterprise upon his recommodation for appointment as postmaster at Newton. So far as we know Brother Williams is the first newspaper man to land a postal plum in this state and other anitous ones will doubtless take courage. 1 A A great deal has beenrecenUv said and written concerning the betterment of farm-life condi tions, but the question is still an insolved one and the question will continue a vital one to the agitators until these lovers of the country people wake up to the aetual conditions obtaii ing in the country. It is true that there are conditions in the rural districts that could be made better, but after all, the country people have more to make lift worth living than we of the towns. These who shed croco dile tears over the condition o* the country people are those wh« know nothing of the conditions to be found there. The country man has not the chance at society, perhaps t hat those in the towns enjoy but his position is an enviable one in rhat respect. There is nothing so hollow as the society functions >f our towns, where the children are taught to look upon work as a disgrace and upon style and Jress as the cbief aim and object of life. Not so with the country. There the child is taught the ijlory of toil, and is given that *rip on life and stability ol character that makes men and women who are really worth while. When country people realize their true condition and learn to take advantage of their oppor tunities the so-called saviours of the country people can find employment elsewhere. Let the ruralist make the school house and church the center of the social life of th*- community and learn to know each other better and love each other more and co-operate with iach other and the problem of country iife will be solved. "Piedmont Carolinas, The Garden of America" is the title of a beautifully illustrated book let recently issued by the C & N, W. Ry. Varirus places and scenes of interest along the route of this road are beautiful printed in half tone. The towns and stations along the line re ceive graphic mention and the booklet will no doubt attract the attention of hundreds of people to this section. The appointment of Walter H. Page, editor of the World's Work, as ambassador to England s a district honor to North Caro ina.

A man cannot understand the torture and suffering many women etwJura nneomplainingly. If the majority of men suffered as much pain and endured with patience the weakening sicknesses that most women do, they would ask lor immediate sympathy and look for a quick cure. Many women have been saved from a life of misery and suffering by turning to the right remedy—Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription—a remedy which is safe to take because containing no narcotics, alcohol or injurious ingredients. It is an alterative extract of roots, made with pure glyoerin, and first given to the publio by that famous specialist in the diseases of women —Dr. R. V. Pierce, of the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute of Buffalo, N. Y. MBS. LIZZIE M.

Has Dr, Friedmann found it? These are live questions these days. Many people are found who do not hesitate to an swer, "Oh, yes, 1 think there is a cure for consumption and I think Dr. Friedmann has found it" But have such people any right to an opinion? Are they not predicting a long way out side of their territory ? Is it not probable that their opinions are tempered to a large extent with their strong desire that such t? cure may be found? Many emi nent doctors and health officers have expressed their opinion that a cure for tuberculosis would be found in this generation. We hope Dr. Friedman has found it. He has been working along th. right line. But, in the mean time, it Will certainly be the part of wisdom for the average citi zen, if not for the average doc tor and health officer, to possess himself with patience until some more authorative body than Dr. Friedmann and his own medical staff can pass on this matter. ( Many treatments have already been made by Dr. Friedmann i'± New York, and the United. States* Government authorities are testing the remedy, to ascertain for certain, first, if it is harm less, and second, if it will reaiiy cure consumption. It will prob. ably take six or eight weeks be fore much of an opinion can be given, even by these experts. In the meantime, those of us who are so unfortunate as to have the disease should not lose any time, or falter one step in the well beaten, timetrodden path of cure that we now know so well, namely, rest, fresh air and pure food. If Dr. Friedman has discoyered a cure, so much the better, but unti' that fact has been well demonstrated and until his cure can be generally obtained, let us not waste any valuable time.

SIINDAYJCHOOL Lesson ll.—Second Quarter* For April 13,1913. THE INTERNATIONAL SERIES. Text of the L»»»on, Gen. xxvtfl, 10-22. Memory Vereee, 20-22— Golden Text, Gen. xxvili, I£—Comcnentorjt Pro pored by Rev. D- M. Stearne. Isaac, having indorsed the going away of Jacob, blessed bim again, and this time truly, and sent bto» away to his mother'# people that he might find a wife among the daughters of ttbao, bis mot her'a brother. So Jacob went out from Beerabeba. where Isaac seems to-have contluued to live since the record iu chapter xtff. 32. 33, and went toward Huron. Haran wis the name of IjOt's father, and he died In Ur before Abram was called out. It was also the name of the place whore Abram tarried until Terah. his father, died (chap ter xi. lt was from thence Ite bekah came to be the wife of Isaac. It would have been a long Journey for Jacol> from Beerabeba to Bethel in one day (between forty, and fifty, miles), BO it was perhaps Ills second night ont on which he bad this remarkable ex perience. That mattera not. however. It was tbo dream or vision that count ed rather than the time when. That one who had acted as Jacob bad should have such a revelation from the Lord la the wonderful part of the transaction. There are. how ever, two very prominent facts In alt the Serlpturea which continually at tract our attention. One lo the ex ceeding sinfulness of man. with his deceitful and desperately wicked heart, and the other Is the exceeding riches of the grace and love of God. It does not matter as to the kind o 4 ladder, whether steps of atone or some other kind. But the great fact io tbat Jacob st\w a way of access from earth to heaven, angels ascending and de scending. and he heard Jehovah from the top of the ladder talking to him moot graciously and in such words as no mortal could expect or by any means deserve. Because of Jacob's unwortblness and the wondrous grace of God notwith standing even I have ventured to ap propriate and have proved in world wide Journeying* the comfort of verae 16. The Lord, who stood obovo the lad der and spoke the words of love and grace, no doubt referred to that night and that event when be said to Na thanael. "Verily, verily, I aay unto you. Hereaftet ye ahall see beaven open and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of Mas" (John 1, 51). Some day when the New Jerusalem Bball have taken ita place over the earth and the elect church glorified and the elect Israel all right eoua and the holy angels shall all be In perfect accord with the Lord lo ad ministering the affairs of the kingdom we may think of and understand this* vision more fully. Meantime let us think of Him who is "the way. tb? truth, the life," who became man for us. The ladder was set up on tbc earth. It starts from just where you are. You mpy step on it if you will, but it must be with both feet clean off the earth, actually in Christ. It reac-hea heaven; it is not too short. To mount day by day we must look up steadfastly and see Him who is in heaven for us. Run with patience, looking unto Jesus. The angels will oe always ministering (Heb. xii, 1, 2; I. 14). Notice the four "beholds" of verses 12, 13, 15. Between the time of Jacob's leaving home and this night's experience It looks as If the Spirit had been working some true penitence in Jacob's heart, and this B]iecia) revelation and message was the result of it When we turn home ward the Father always fnna to meet us, according to Luke xv, 20. • Such overwhelming grace made Ja cob feel 'somewhat as Simon Peter did when the Lord filled the ships with fishes and Peter said. "Depart from me, for I am a sinful man. O Lord!** (Luke v, &) We do well to remem ber that the Lord is ever with us and that every place with Him may be to us the house of God and the gate of heaven. " The pillow becoming an anointed pillar and the fact that believers are called stones (I Pet. ii, 5) suggest that I listen d of being prone upon the earth we may become upright, anointed liv ing stones to the glory of God. Jacob's vow in verses 20 to 22 may be good or '|»ot so good. If he is bar gaining with God after all the gra cious assurances, as our authorized ver sion would seem to indicate, then his language and his spirit were poor in deed. But jUT be said. "Since, on seeing that, God w(|l be wtth me" (verse 20). bis words ape better. .He has been con sidered by tome a very mean man, but if any who read these words de not give the Lord at least a tenth of their in come are they not meaner than Jacob? No further incident of Ma journey is mentioned, but be certainly had enough to think about and to com fort and snstatn him for years to come In that vision.
