State lil'iaiy XEAR 5 CENTS fEh CPY t r II: .... . j- JPracticai Questions Of Vhe Dai. DISCUSSED BY THE DIFFERENT An old English picture represents a king with the motto beneath, "I govern all"; a bishop with this sentence, "I pray for all'; a sol: dier, with the inscription, "I fight for all"; and a farmer who reluct antly draws forth a purse, and ex claims with' rueful countenance, "I pay for all." . - But the American citizen, the freest man on earth, combines in himself the functions of all four of these. He is king, prophet, war rior, and laborer. He governs, prays, fights, for himself, and pays all the bills. Not all people un derstand or at least do not appre ciate the blessings of citizenship in this the best country on earth. God is Supreme Buler ofall nations. But it has pleased him to allow the nations of the earth to form for themselves governments administ ered by human rulers. He has given his sanction to human gov ernment and recognized the right ful authority of all rulers to ad minister them. In like manner Qod has made it the duty ofall citizens to obey the laws of the state or nation. "The powers that be are ordained of Qoi?7 "Bender to Caesar the things that are Caesar's." Caesar is here put for all political powers of all countries. In fact The "Czar" of KuBsia, and the "Kai ser" of Germany . to day arc only modifications of this same word. It is clear then that every person owes dutiesto his nation, state, county, city, or towji. Ho owes allegiance to the properly constituted authori ties. He should feel as much bound by his conscience- to obey the laws or his country, and' every authority under which he lives, as the laws of God. - Some people do not seem- to re alize this obligation and seem- to attach very little importance to obedience of the laws of- the land So which they live. They seem Jo think that they are at perfect liber ty to disregard the laws, evade them and disobey them with im punity so long as they escape the punishments or penalties attached and do not make it a matter of conscience at all. And especially is this so with reference to such laws as they may think are oppres ire, or a burden or an inconveni ence detrimental to their interests. There is no law more open to vio lation than a law respecting taxes. The state or city must have money to meet the heavy expenses of ad ministration. These expenses are often veiy heavy and-sometimes oppressive. But remember what you get for all this expense the protection of your life, liberty, rep utation, and property. There is scarcely a law on the statute books . that does not in some way afford you protection in some of these ways. Therefore the heavy expenses are incurred for the benefit of the peo ple. And therefore it is right that people should pay these exT peases. To raise this necessary money is the object of taxes. It is clear that every citizen' should pay his taxes. And he should do it honestly, according to law. Sometimes people evade this re quirement by making false returns, 'of their property, or by under valuing it In so doing they cheat the state and perjure them selves. This is a, very common way of evading or violating' the law, and it is done by people who would be insulted if it were inti mated that they were dishonest. If a law Is unwjse or oppressive what is the remedy! Take all proper steps to have the law re pealed or amended. The rem edy is not in disobeying it Disobedience to law, brings dis trust into the minds of the people and this results in riots, and' au archy, and general lawlessness. . The , peace and freedom of our country can be upheld only when al? citizens yield a loyal obedience to the demands of the Law, PASTORS OF LINCOLNTON.' ood citizenship also discredits some methods frequently employed in political campaigns. As soon as two parties seek the same office the floodgates of abuse are raised, all the factories of misrepresenta tion work day and night,' and all the inventors of abuse and slander "in prose, poetry, and picture" are at work at fever heat, "and a pestilence of moral malaria Btalks through the land.". If you do not like Bryan, call him a populist, socialist, anarchist, a creature of Altgeld etc. It you do not like McKipley, call hiin the tool of Mark Hanna and the bloated bond holders and soulless corporations and the octopus trusts etc. Why be bothered by arguments when abuse is at band and will do quite as well!" No case; abuse , the plan tiff attorney," seems to be the motto of many people. - ' The above are a few of the obliga tions and duties and abuses of citi zenship.' R. A; Yodek. IROWSTATION NhWS.

That proposition to secede from historic old Lincoln county on the part-of many East Lincoln citizens, and to form a new county by annexing Catawba Springs township to a part of Gaston is unworthy of the consideration of liberal minded men. "Breathes there a 'man with soul so dead, who never to himself hath said, This is my own, my native land." Would you sell your birthright for a mess of pottage! Better far to live in peaceful rural Catawba Springs as a part of old Lincoln with all her history in war and peace and feel a patriotic pride In her proud name even if wtfjdo not keep step with other communities in this commercial . age than to throw patriotism to'the wind and everything for the sake of commer cial advancement : Born to Mr. and Mrs. -Dormr Hager a girl.
