GRANDMOTHER SPEA1I3 WISELY TO THE YOUNG To the Editor of The Journal: The two words, gratitude and rever ence mean a great deal, yet are not understood or observed or felt, it seems, by : the present generation. How sad to think that parents after suffering, sacrificing and doing all they can for their children should be. treated by those children with disre spect and disobedinece. Is it caused by indulgence to chil dren, by waiting on them, humoring their whims, and not requiring of them duties which they should per form? I think it is often so. A boy or girl should be trained to be helpful in the home, to reverence father and mother, and to obey them. They should also be taught to respect the advice of older persons who have experience in the ways of the world. I have thought seriouslv on this subject and I sometimes think it is inate in some persons to be rude and uncouth in their manners. They have no wish to be otherwise, and what causes it? I think, pure selfishness and a want of tact. I once heard a lady say she had two: children; one was apt to learn, the fitter she could not beat language into. She had no desire to improve her manner. When such is the case it is perplexing and annoying to say -the least. When we see a young person whom a mother reauested to perform a little task ig nore that request and not obey, Lj think it indeed snocKing and very sel fish and ungrateful to treat a tired mother so. ': There is a future for all and those who try to do their duty and show their gratitude to their parents will have a sweet content. ; "Honor thy father and thy mother that thy days may be long upon the land which the lord thy God giveth thee," is the fifth commandment, and I believe it, and I also believe there is a punishment even on this earth for those who do wrong. : Teach children to be- polite and thoughtful of the comfort of others. Where should we teach them these things; at home? Yes, at home. The, home is the proper place. ' If they are not taught to respect the wishes of others, if they are not taught to be polite and kind at home, to be self sacrificing, to not want the best for: themselves, they will always be sel fish.' v To wait on children, to humor their whims, let them, have the best of ev erything, makes them selfish and makes them think they should be first. Oh! what a mistake to indulge chil dren until they have no respect for their parents or elderly people, but think they are the ones who should, have all the privileges and every one be subservient to them. Girls should be taught, when they ore old enough, to relieve their moth ers of some work in the home. They should be taught to be self-reliant. Boys should also be taught to respect their fathers and help them every way they can to lighten their bur dens. How shocking it is to hear a girl or boy speak disrespectfully to father or mother. Children should be taught to speak pleasantly. They should be taught it by example. We should be careful to speak in a pleasant voice in answering a ques tion. The habit of speaking rudely ia very unpleasant to the listener and has a bad influence on the young boys and girls, v ' Those who have been trained -right will have respect for the feelings of others and will answer a question in and kind to all, thoughtful of others cemfort,. will want to do something tor the poor, the afflicted and all who need consolation and help. They will thoughtful and kind to the jr eld ers, show them respect, listen to their advice and remember that if they live long, they will be rewarded and have the consolation that they helped them all they could. "'.What a consolation is a clear conscience! GRAND MA. COTTON ASSOCIATION CLOSES ITS FIRST YEAR Raleigh, August 8. The close of the first year of operation, shows, that the North Carolina Cotton Growers Cooperative Association had received 135,420 bales of cotton, approximate- ly eighteen percent of the total 'drop of the State a fairly good sliowirg for the first year and a larger pei centage than is shown in the reports of any coonsrative cotton associutkn in the South. To the members, the association! has advanced a total of 22 cents a pound,-basis middling, on all short staple cotton. The bulk of tliis cotton has been sold and General Mitager tilalock hopes to close out tne re mainder and make a final settlement before the new crop begins to move. It is impossible, said Mr, Blalock, to give an exact statement but I believe that members of the association will receive between $15.00 and $20.00 a bale more for their cotton than the average received by non-members. Long staple cotton has not been so marketable and advances of 19 cents a pound have been made on all cotton cf this character , received. Futher settlements will be made as soon as more sales can be made. In this connection, Mr. Blalock states that North Carolina cotton farmers would do better if they abandoned long staple and standardized on va rieties of a uniform staple of a heavy bodied type.

I SAMPSON EDITCIl IIA3 ' SEEN LIVE CATHOLICS (Sampson Democrat) Clinton and Sampson folks in gen eral have known Catholics for a gen eration or two and seem never to have discovered any horns and forked tails upon them. So unconscious, indeed, were the voters of the fact that Cath olics are a dangerous .element that five years ago the Democrats of this county nominated one of them, Mr. M. F. Troublef ield, for sheriff, and only last fall a full convention of South Clinton township Republicans nominated, by individual v ballot of those present, Mr. Thomas Hargrove for justice of the peac6 and the Re publicans of that township actually elected him and never one word was heard from a soul in criticism of the nomination of a Catholic and a Knight of Columbus. But what a change! Ku Klux propaganda against Catholics have flooded the commun ity and now many a man thinks the Catholics very devils those away off yonder, of course, and what a shame it is for an old man, who should be as innocent as he is ignorant, to come jnto this community as agent for these firebrand sheets and fan the spirit of hostility that has already been generated! The poor ignoramus referred to actually had the hardihood to tell a leading citizen of this town that a Catholic cannot look you straight in the face. Said citizsn res ponded to the effect thathe was a fool if he expected him to believe any such tommyrot, that he had just been talking to a Catholic whom he con sidered one of his best friends and one of the best citizens of the coun ty. But but--our Catholics are not like etc., etc. That is the way it goes. Away off yonder somewhere Catholics are very devils. But as said before, the writer of the Democrat lived for years in Louisianna and he found Catholics down there good cit izens, as are the Troublefields, the Hargroves, and the large congrega-' tion of Catholics in the Newton GroVe section. But we grant that the uras similated foreign element, whether Catholics, Russian Jews, Syrian and Greek members of the Greek church, or anything else are more or less a menace until they becoma "assimilat ed to American ideas and ideals, but it is not because of their religious notions and affiliations so mucn as because of their political aid econo mical ideas, and the Irish Catholics, everytime, will become assimilated just as early and readily,, we believe, as will the German Lutheran or the Scotch Presbyterian, especially if you give them the same environment. Racial stock and old home environ ment, and not religion, determines the desirability of the immigrant. The Jap is not wanted, and he conies about as near as anybody as having no reli gion at all. The Italians oi the South of Italy are not nearly so desirable as those from upper Italy, yet tkey are all Catholics. Let pe?nk! have sense enough to ascribe to the proper cause the effects noted and tho Gan gers of the present propaganda may be allayed. A Picturesque Party By Faye S'oles - Stallings, August -9. The crops of this community are growing rapidly since the nice rains came last week and revived them. Mm, L. L.

The meadow around the spring looked like Fairy land. It was beautifully decorated in Japa nese lanterns. Near the old spring hung the big old pot full of chicken, ever a blazing fire. The young people played the victrola, which sat under an oak tree nearby. They all enjoyed the music as well as the many funny jokes and tales that were told. Then came supper time. Chicken, rice and bread was served. Then a wonderful thing happened. One of the young men who had driven off, rode up with nice watermelons, and every one present -was served all the watermelon he could eat Those present were: Misses Ruby and Lura Harkey, Maude and Myrtle Sfallings, Pattie Smith, Eva Lee Beard, Josie Mae Laney, Mary Hall of Charlotte,' Blanche Walden and Beaulah Wolfe of Monroe, and Odessa Lemmond of Indian Trail, Mrs. Neal McGinnis of Providence, Mr. and Mrs. Frank Biggers, Mr. and Mrs. Ach McLoud and Messrs.

In the process of saving one forms habits of thrift and learns lessons in. economy that may mean the difference' between success and failure later in- life. Making yourself save is fine self -discipline. MONROE BANK & TRUST CO - R. B. REDWINE, President H. B. CLARK, Cashier We exercise no. more conservatism than is demanded by sound banking practice.

It mraks an im portant line between success,, and failure. Many honest lives have been wasted in a will-o'-the-wisp chase, jumping from idea to idea until life was spent and. nothing achieved. One idea successfully put across is worth a half dozen better ideas which fall by the wayside through lack of vision; Usually, the 'lack of vision is in failure to establish a reserve fund in cash or 'credit to finance, the idea to a materialization.
