KISS A YARD BUT GRANDMOTHER WAS PAYMASTER Thoughts on Age and Youth Aroused by Mrs. Houston's , Birthday Observance MRS. HARGETT SPEAKS GOOD WORDS FOR HENRY By Mrs. Knox Wolfe-Hargett ' ; The' longest day of the year has come and gone, June the-21st, 923. There were many lovely deeds done on this long day, In this big world, and perhaps many naughty -, deeds. However, among the good deeds, Mrs. D. A. Houston in a beautiful and memorable way celebrated' ,the 71st birthday of her" mother, Mrs. Lottie Rutland Totten, at her pretty' home on West Jefferson street. , In making preparations for this joyous time, Mrs. Houston concealed - her motive from her mother, and ev ery thing was done in a surreptitious manner until the very eve before. It came with great delight and surprise to this appreciative .mother, 'and one by one, she gave the names of the old lady friends whom she wished jto make merry with her. Some of these . were older than she and and had pass ed mile-posts ahead in years; then others were in the same year, and still a few quite far behind. '''-, The dinner took one back with its appointments f vegetables, fried chicken ,ices and dpinty cakes to old ' Southern luxury and hospitality. Each seated -at this festive board exchang ed laughter, .' and repartee with all the elixir and cordiality of girlhood's rosy days. Mrs. Totten is a scion of one of the mli respectable and high ly esteemed fairies in the section of South Carolina where she, was bornr being in a line of kinship with the Marions, Moblys, Rutlandsj and other of the state's good people. . Her Barents looked upon a good education as the one thing needful to a young woman to work out her salvation in this world of struggles, and today this daughter of theirs, stands with a heart .fixed firm in the belief of a living Kedeemer, ana possesses i character that is unimpeachable. Be "ef Tinned, friehdlv, and gentle, she ' "' is bWUKl.-ttji.jMiit' of1 f riendav In her duti 1 ?8 Aome she is surround ' ed by a whi Vbevy of grandchildren whom she lvs, who makes life in ' these declining years as her sun is going down more endurable, and more ctnrinim v.. if"' ; .' '.," '"' . "r. . Jr.' "' - Old age has been the butt, also object for fun which " called forth many a refined jest, and much mirth in a pleasant way, all at mother's and grand-mother'8 expense. : But what beautiful pictures of sweet aevereness was presented as these aged, ones smiled in their nonchalant way at their children s teasing moods. t ;. One time a charming young girl ac ' companied by her octogenarian great-grand-mother entered a dry goods store. "How much is this ribbon?" she asked of the polite young, clerk, who had bounded with much agility over several stools to-wait upon her. "A kiss a yard," replied the young masher, gallantly. "Give me ten I yards, then. . Grandma '11 pay you " she always settles the bills when we i go shopping'." .-We hope .Mrs. Totten wilPlive to celebrate . many more birthdays, for we loVe her. : , . ' We read recently such a fine ac count xof Henry Ford's crippled em ployees, and will you believe it, it was-a-clipping from the Japan. Ad vertiser, of Tokyo? In part it said, "In one corner of the great factory ! in Detroit where Mr.! Ford makes his ' world-famous motor-cars sit eight "or ten blind men, a little .pile of huts i and bolts to the right and left of i them. Each man reaching out for a bolt or nut, carefully fits it, and pitches the fitted parts into an iron receiving box which is later car ried away. One of these blind workers is seventy-eight He is total ly blind, but he makes his $6 a day, ! like any other man in the Ford work shop; and in the Ford workshops, which is not run as a charity bureau. ' This simply means that that blind Old man is worth his pay. When a number of sightless men apj 'led to him for 'ion Ford set about finding work for them.

AU the pretty bird-singing time has about come and gone, still the clock ticks on in the kick room; and there is a stillness that seems to whisper, "There are characters whom misery has marked with a fatal brand." And the sick one suffers on, almost obliv ious of the Divine hand that is work ing Its will, for they are standing on the promises: "When through the deep waters T Cause thee to go, the rivers of woe, shajl not thee '. over flow." ! .,: ;.:;....':: v - '' .

Monroe Sunday Have League Base . Ball You ' can never down a working i a league team, but there is no reason man r.tl jou can't , down a town o;i in the wwld why a good crowd can baseball if that town cares anything not come1 out to see these Sunday about baseball. If it can't riiru fancy , school gimes. Many of last year's players and join a league it can go ahead and make a league of its own and play with its 'own players. - And for one, The Monroe Journal is ready to say that this is the best way to dO.it. -V : ' , . . . ' And the' Monroe leasrue is a league between the several Sunday ; sichdils of the city. That is going line and if j every body1' in town who has pep enough to come in out of the rain will join in the spirit, of the thing," there will be fine old times in Monroe this summer. Nobody need to die of just being tired. You may go out and. get cracked on : the . head with a base ball but that at. least would be fun for the spectators. - There, is now a "Sunday school ball league in Monroe and the president thereof is - Rev. W. B. S. Chandler, pastor of the Presbyterian church. And the, Vice-President is Dr, C. C. Weaver, pastor' of the ' Methodist church. Roland Horton is secretary and treasurer and Lloyd Sutton is his assistant. . , The games will start promptly at 5 . o'clock on the days arranged and any team not ready at that time will forfeit the game. The captains . of each team . must submit a list of players that are elegible as far as attendance is concerned. At the end of the season the three losing teams will be hosts to the winning team at a banquet at the Brotherhood Hut - These games are being taken seri ously and any one who comes out to see a farce ha'd better stay away be cause he will be disappointed. Keen rivalry has always existed between the churches and Sunday schools in the city, and these games are going to be played to the best of the ability of the players. There is no age limit Ar.y one who attends Sunday school fifty per cent of the time is elegible to lay1 if he can make the team. Not only will this league furnish snort durinir the summer to the. farts and others of the city, but it will stimulate interest in . the -v- Sunday schools. Many of the interested ones in each church say they expect the atlMdac:tojnemseYerytiir4iapt and Methodt,'Aug. 28w during the next month..

Main topics of conversation here now for men," weather and .the boil weevil; for women, chicken mites and the weather. s ; v.. Here is a doctors tale and it must be regarded as such by everybody," He told me this morning that as he came down the road, he saw a farmer come out with some kind of a wire device or appliance. The farmer set tho "thing' down beside and the road and began to run across the field. The doctor, it seems, being interested and wishing to be officially late as it behooves every doctor to be stop ped to investigate. When he asked why, oh, why, the qu4er proceedings, the farmer gently informed him that the wire contraption was a boll weev il trap and that when1 he brought A down to the held, it scared a lone boll weevil, and - that he had chased It across the field tor keep it from get ting away. I was not informed as to whether he caught the weevil or rot; or whether the wire contrivance worked. ', . ' v , , ", '- ' - Wants to beJIelped ,? Matthews, Rt. 18, June "27.

Simpson will be glad to know that her 87th birth day yesterday was . made especially happy by the presence of Dr. and Mrs: R. B. Price, medical, missionaires of Taichow, Kiangsu ; province, China. Dr, Price is the1 head of the Taichdw hospital, which was given and fouhd ed by Mrs. Simpson. The hospital U located in afcity of 150,000 popula tion and ha achieved marvelous" suc cess under the1 auspices of -the Pres byterian church. It is a modern, forty-room hospital, built of brick and stor.e, and fully equipped. . It is ap propriately named -in honor of its foutiderTThe Srajh Walkup Memor-. ml Hospital., . ! i : i, Dr. Prices is very enthuskslc about the work that is being" done by- the Institution and since coming to America, he states that he has re ceived the informatiqn that .over nine hundred patients were treated during the last month alone. No wonder that the birthday of this charming, cultur ed and ; ' well-beloved lady was a memorable and happy one Vith such news of the work fostered by ,her generosity and devotion; ? ' ' .' i; i Mrs. Simpson Is one of the finest products of tbe old South that is gone. A great grand-daughter of the father of Andrew Pickens, the great aouttt Carolina patriot and states man, she was born and reared in the old.Waxhaws, a grand-daughter of the Revolutionary , patriot, Capt. James Walkup, on whose far mwas fought and won one of the battles of the .Revolution, - Her .brothers, Cols. Samuel and mlliam Walkjuo. were distinguished men of their time. Col, Sam Walkup was in command of the famous 48th regiment in. the Civil war. ,4ie it was who took up the matter offsetting history straight about Andrew Jackson, and his collec tion of evidence on the subject was adopted by the historian Parton and imbodied in the letter's life of Jack son. The distinguished historian paid a visit to lOi. Wallcup belore the pivil War and went overHhe historic grounds of the waxhaws with him, -After - her educational course jat Carolina Female College, Mrs. Simp son began teaching in her home com munity before the war -She married Abel Belt, a prominent citizen bf Lancaster county. Three sons were born to this union, Thomas, , Henry and John Belk, the latter two are the wepi known merchants of the Caro- nnas. ine other died m boyhood. Mr. Belk was murdered by Sherman' troops, and his young widow, left as so many- other cultured Southern Were left, bereft of their guardians, again began to. instruct the youth of hex community.' ' After the war she married the late Mr. J. R. Simpson and Dr. W. D. Simpson and Mrs. G. B. McClellan are children of this union. Mr. and Mrs. Simpson moved, to Monroe anid for fifty years since Mrs. Simpson has occupied the same residence here. ' '-v . j ; Few people yet living' have been identified with so much of the South's noble history as well with the hard. ships and disasters of the people oc casioned, by .war; Her memory stored with that history and her still vigorous and enlightened mind is treasure house of fact and sentiment connected' with the great as well as dred years. But w,hue' richly en the ordinary events of the bast huh dowed with the knowledge and senti ments of the past. MrS. Simpson has kept up with the present and with the stirring .currents of human life. The devotion of her children and their families, the high respect t of the public, and the love of many well chosen friends, land an abundance of material resources Which she ' is so constantly and wisely ' using, have made her old age perhaps the most hanpy and beautiful period of her eventful life. Her- presence yet in the community where she has lived so long is a benediction td all and upon this, the beginning of her 88th year, there are none within the radius of influence and acquaintance who will not wish vthat .it. may be the crowning year of happiness for her. ;' Physicians are giving the Pasfcur treatment for,, hydrophobia to the fa milies of Rev. K. W. Hogan and Mr. Vande Plyler of ,Buford township In consequence of the discovery , -that they had been using milk from a cow which was proven to be Infected with rabies. The cow belonged to Mr. Hogan and on last Friday Dr. Alex ander, veterinarian; was called to ex amine the cow.. -. He was convinced that she had rabies but to make sure the head of the animal was sent to the State Laboratory at Raleigh, from whence came the news that she had a typical case of rabies. The I family-, of eight of Mr. Hogan, and oerore tne tact ot tne cow s condi tion was discovered. It Is understood the family of Mr. Plyler, who ar working for him, nil drank the uX. that rabies can be cot unicatod l through milk and therefore ptfi-s t. were at once taken to 'five the Fas ,,j teur treatment.

Battery F,. of the 117th. Fie,ld Ar- -tillery; or whether the sound vill be wafted across the Rocky River from Albemarle, y borne - weeks ago when General Metts was in Monroe enthus iasm for the battery ran high and enlistments were made. ' But interest, -has since lagged and it is now unr ' derstood that unless Monroe finishes . up the job right away the battery will be offered to Albemarle,' where they are honing for one. ' The eauioment for the battery.' which consists of eight car loads of material, will be shipped to Monroe within two- weeks after the enlist- - ment is completed. The company can be organized wifh sixty-five members and cannot have over ninety. More than the number required agreed to join at the beginning but only about,' thirty have stood the physical exam- , iiiation without which the enlistment , , ia- not ' complete. ' ' .The equipment consists or the toi-: lowing: ."-' '.',: j ;' ; : One -five passenger motor car, one ; reconnaissance car, six motorcycles, With side cars, fourteen five ton trac tors two cargo trucks, ope artillery supply truck,; one cargo ' truck, one light repair, struck, one reel cart, one trailer, one kitchen trailer, one water trailer, one , bicycle trailer, one bi cvcle. foUr howitzers ' 155mm, Welve caisson bodies, 118 pistols, two ma-, chine guns, e:ght automatic rifles.

The question now is does Monroe . want that battery T If it does then . the citizens must get behind the mat ter arid do a little boosting and giw sotne encouragement to the ' boys. ) Enough have already agreed to join to, make up the number; out from lack t of Interest on the part of the public no pushing has been done and, the. boys have not become enthusiastic for something that the town seems , to lack interest ' in. The ; location of the battery here will not nly be of value to the men who join but of great interest and value to, the .tefgn. It will bring a good deal of money . here from the national and fctate gov ernments, it will serve, to givo a good ; deal of interest and entertainment to . ttie public, it will keep Momos in the public eye, and, it will be the nucleus for a good deal of pep of one kind or arother-that we need. When a thing C- this, kin t' is offera the town the oniric -oufjht to lavf en mass and , 'nress tleir apveoiation of the of .Vr and t nieura jm willing tr . join and give a' hearty welcome to the undertaking. Before retiring as Mayor Mr. J..C. M. Vann erave every assurance to the state authorities that Monroe would like to have the battery. A mass meeting should be held immediately and Mr. Vann be called upon to ex plain the matter, fter which ' tho boys who are joining should be given ' a hearty boost. " .
