THE MONROE OURnAL. VOLUME XII. NO 43 MONROE, N. C, TUESDAY NOVEMBEP 28 .908 One Dollar a Year TALKING WITH THE PEOPLE. We desire to commend the exam ple that the directors of tbe new cot- toa mill at this place have aet in their decision to couple some good (rid fashioned religion with business in their plana for building their new mill settlement Fur the people wboaa labor will be needed to oper ate the mill, they propoee to prepare real bouse that can be made real homes, instead of a aet of box car shanties that are often built around the milla for people to live in. The met) who hare decided to do this are all chrialiaa men who would go any length in their peraonal Uvea to help tboae who need help, but in deciding lbs character of tbe comforts they expect to offer their help, they do not pat themselves on the back and aay, as too many do who are working fur elfish motives, "Look at ua, behold what good men and philanthropists we are!" Not a bit of it They aay frankly that this it a business mat ter. Good housea capable of being made into real homes will bring us the very beet help that can be had. It will do more, it will keep auch help by giving ua people of charac ter and good citizenship. Such help can and will willingly do more and bettor work, be worth more to them- elves, to ua and to their country, than a ahiftlesa population that is willing to put up with anything for a makeshift until they can run off to some other place. And the value of this action is the greater for the rea son that it is put upon its proper basis. Put that way, it becomes an example that must spread rapidly because its worth will soon be appa rent And this example could well be looked into by other employers of labor.

'ant class leaving the farm would be a thing of the past if landowners would make it possible for them to hsve something like comforts tbe landlords themselves enjoy and which the laborers can secure in the towns, lie said that the farmers of the eastern section of the State who complained about not being able to keep help were tbe one who could not realize that the negroes had ever been freed; that, on the other hand, those who were willing to let them have schools. churches and comfortable houses to live in, had all tbe help they wanted. This ia not the popular stuff, but its true, and people will learn it some time. The dispensary officials of South Carolina have made an analysis of a number of well advertised patent medicines, and say that they contain so much alcohol that they must not be sold except by druggists on regu lar prescriptions of physicians. Some lime ago the treasury department at Washington made a ruling that druggists who sell certain of these remedies must have retail liquor licences. This is a movement that ia likely to increase. Some of the slop that ia put off on the public as cure-alls, are worse than worthless. Host of them contain harmful drugs or are worthloss.and there should be law compelling manufacturers to label their goods in such a way that the public could know what it ia buying. Mr. R. A. Morrow, who is a mem ber of tbe State board of internal improvements, returned a few days ago from a visit to the hospital for the insane at Morcanton. and the hospital for the colored insane at Goldsbord He thinks that if the colored people throughout the State could go to Goldsboro and see what is being done for the unfortunates of their race by tbe State, they would have a much better feeling towards the white people than some of them manifest at times. At the colored hospital Mr. Morrow says he found the oldest bookkeeper that he ever saw. Mr. Daniel Reid is hia name and he has charge of all the books of the institution and isninety-one years old. It is the policy of the authori ties of hospitals for the insane to give the patients auch amusements (CONTINUED ON PAG I TWO.)

Anybody com in' borne to Thaneagivin't" Tba speaker, David Howard, a man with a thin, hatchet face, could never have told why John Tomp kins always1 received the auuire title. Neither could anyone else give him the reason. "Squire Tompkins," be was called, a man with a smooth, round lace, blue eyea and very much of a lower jaw. When saluted by hia neighbor he waa ia a little structure called bia "shop." If farm duties permitted it, or when the weather forbade out door work, John Tompkina would, there la hia shop, patch a hole in a shoe or thickea a thin sole. At the eight of DavW'e hatchet fare throat into the doorway, "Squire Tompkina" lifted hia eyea and eye ing David through hia gold bowed spectacles, replied: "Thankagiviu' coniin', that's good. like a weaknese to allow anything of the kind and she always made aome disparaging remark.

Hia voice choked when he tried to speak again. He dropped hia eyes, and turniug hia bead away, the "Square" raised hia hammer and gave a piece of leather on his lap- stone a furious blow. That day at noon, David had a little chat with his wife, Sally. It waa at the din ner table. 'I aee you're gettin' ready for Tbanksgivin', Sally, and your mince turnovers are 'maxin' good." David liked to compliment his wife, and she was glad to get the compliments, but it seemed to her and Tompkins' jaw was bigger than ever. But the Square has his ten der side. He's seen four.coflins taken out of his house, yes live, and I think it must soften him, and you know that picture of a family group a faury one, but it has a meanin' up in his sittin' room!

"Say, Sally, what are yon a thinking about" "Wal, I waa a thinkin' "I should say you was. Ain't there no end to that long lane" She suddenly sprang up from her chair. "I b'lieve Til take 'em over my self aud do it now," she exclaimed, grabbing David's brown coat that hung over the back of a chair. "Take what to wharf" "Turnovers to Miss Jones." "Leave me suthin', Sally. Don't taka that It will fit me better than you." "Dear me, I thought it was my brown shawl." "Sally, you're gettin' a leetle, UMM exritMl " aad I "I'm as cool as a cucumber, or or ought to be," Bearing away a package of turn overs, Bailie hurried out of the hoose. From a window, David' hatchet-nice watched her hurrying down the road, and he pressed bis nose against tbe glasa aa if he would cat bis way out through it "If I ever! Wall, wall! Sally ia good woman, and I don t need to watch her, so I will will." He turned toward a pantry odor 00s with good cookery. "Tbauks givin' is a comin' and I guess I'll up one of Hally'a pumpkin pies."

The afternoon before Thauksgiviug ar rived, and John Tonipkius at 1 preliminary had eaten a dinner of such dimensions that he was more than usually sleepy, and soon he tola bliuself that he would be "a droppiu' off," which meant a drop ping down aud down, deeper and Ueeper, more and more comfortably into tbe thickly cushioned arm cnair in nig snon. une nneasv glance before sleep be gave out of tbe window that showed him a lit tie family "burying ground," where five or bis household had beeu hud away, peace in each face, their bands making Calvary's sign upon his breant. When he went to Bleep. Smiare Tompkins was think ing of his tiock, the five that had gone to sleep, and "Amanday" still uiton the earth. Sometime, iu his uap he was very confusedly aware that there was a noise at the door. If that ante Thanksgiving dinner had not smothered him so dp, he would have heard the voice of a conspira tor as she tumbled against the door, "Oh massy! Hush sli !'' He's all right," advised the other couHpirator, looking into a window. "Now open the door kind of easy there! Now set Joshey by bis chair, and that family pic ture agin tbe wall near him, so he'll sue both when be opens his eyes. Now, Joshey, dear, you tech him off. Don't be scat if he jumps. Jest say 'Ganpie.' We'll stay by the winder and be a peek in' in. Don't be scat, say HJanpie,' and tech him easy." Soon the farmer felt the gentle pressure of something on his fat cheek. "Somebody a-makin' butter and patttu' it," was the "Square's" thought Then he heard a noise. It was a boy murmuring, "Ganpie." It was a soft, musical hum that came to grandpa's ears, and it seemed as if a big fly warmed out of his retreat by the November fire, kindled in the stove, were playing on a fly-fiddle; "Hum m m !" The hand that was patting butter and the fly playing on the fiddle, continued their geutle activity. Soon Square Tompkins opened his eyes. The first object he saw was the family picture leaning against the wall. The conspirators noticed this glance, and one said to the other; "Now the next thing hell see is Joshey a hand. W isb we bad put a Bible in IU That would tech him. Now wasn't that an oversight!' ' No Bible did be aee but a chub by little haud. How it made him think of hia "Amanday a" chubb; hand when she was a "leetle gal. Then came that geutle appeal, "Ganpier The next moment there was an armful of fat boy that a grand fat h er was pressing to his breast, while the tears ran in glistening streams down bis cheeks. "Oh oh see see V cried conspirator, and she said it so loud that Square Tompkina' shining "specs" were directed toward the daring and devoted pair at the window. The two conspirators were caught.
