OCTOBER 26, 1909. No. 16. 1 How to See Europe Germany. Watson's Jeffersonian. It is not compulsory to drink beer in Germany. The drinking of water and other peculiar liquids is-permitted. If you desire water with your meals you should tele graph ahead to the next hotel and give the proprietor time to hunt up a well. German courtesy should be stud ied and followed as much as pos Bible. Germans are always court eons, no matter what they are do ing to yon. This does not include the women clerks in Germany who are not polite to anybody. Always use the word "Bitte" (please) to begin and end every sentence. Ev ery one does. The Geaman police man requests you to "please" come with him, anp the horns of Ger wan automobiles are made to imi tate the word as olosely as possible. At your hotel you will frequently be pained to notice that your wait er pays no attention to the word, and does not serve yon any faster than he would otherwise. This is simply because he does not under stand your accent. The proper ac cei t to put on the word "bitte'' in German hotels is a one mark piece at the end of the last syllable. Germany is not considered a very good country in which to practice the use of the German tongue. You will at once notice a great difficulty however, in finding anyone to talk German to you. As soon as you address a German in his language, he will at once answer you in Eng lish in order to make it easier for you. You can remedy this by go ing to a tourist hotel filled with American travelers. Here noth ing but German will bespoken and you can practice to . your heart's content. Traveling on German trains is an art which can not be acquired in one trip. The fares - average two cents a mile, and the fines $5 a trip. The only safe way to travel is to do nothing at all while on Hba?dthecars, This will save you ironi being fined except for being in the wrong compartment, which is not possible to avoid, as there -j no right compartments. Elevaters in German hotels should be used carefully and with fore thought. If you are on the third floor you will generally find it pos sible to get to the ground floor by elevator in time for your meals. Above the third floor always start down for lunch after breakfast, and for dinner after lunch. Old travelors, when ascending to their r.wms, often vary the monotony by riding one story on , the elevator, then getting out and walking a story, and then riding another story. The newer German eleva tors are equipped with restaurants and card-tables, thus making them ranch more practicable. 'i?d matter how clean you are when you see Berlin, you will in stinctively wish for a bathtub. This in order to become as clean as the city. The entire city is not only scrubbed, but manicured, ev ery day. Wipe your feet on the curbstone before crossing the street in order not to soil the pavement. Literary Magazine. An Unusual Rain or a Big Yarn. An Arlington special to The Char lotte Observer says: Quite a strange and unusual occur rence, which is causing much interest is going on near hery:'' On the Misen heimer farm near the Cabarrus line, rain has been falling over a small area for two weeks or longer. With the sky perfectly clear and the sun shining brightly the rain continues to fall. Some boys first saw the phenom enon, and as it was an unusual occurs rence. neople seemed to doubt the truthfulness of their statement. Since 'jl nnifo n miinhor At npnn o hsvo '111(711 4U1U c "X- visited the place and are convinced that rain is actually falling. It seems mystery which no one is able to solve gatisfacterily. The Small Citizen. The Lexington Dispatch and the j Charlotte Observer have been pay ing their respects of late to the man who pays no taxes and yet who opposes every measure looking to public improvement. The Dis patch tells of a man who bitterly opposed the establishment of a school whose taxes would have been five cents, and who had four children to send. Gentlemen like these are to be found in every neighborhood, and they make as much noise a if they supported the government on their own should ers. The rule is that those citizens who pay the largest share of taxes in the commnnity are the ones who favor public improvement. The men who register the highest kicks against good roads are the verT men who will reap the largest bene fit from deceut highways and who will contribute the very least of all to secure them. It is largely a matter of prejudice and sometimes vanity. The opportunity to get in the limelight for a little time by opposing what reasonable men ap prove is a temptation too strong for some men to resist, so they rave and tear about town and predict financial ruin to the country be cause their neighbors will have to pay the bills, though they are per fectly willing and perfectly able to pay tneni. rixer since we can re member we have heard the cry that taxes were about to bankrupt the country, when the very folks who make the most fuss about it will contribute twice as much to Barnum & Bailey as to the State, county and town for the protection of life, liberty and propetry. It is a pity that some of the brethren are so very small. Charity and Children. Whipping Post Favored. Danville Bee. At the very moment when we were noting the fact that the Pennsylvania Humane societies were going on re cord in favor of the whipping post as a punishment for wife-beaters, the papers were chronicling the punish ment of a number of petty offenders by this method in Delaware. There the law authorizes the imposition of such corporal punishment for certain classes of offenses, and it is said to be very effective. If the penalty proves deterrent, it is certainly much to the interest of communities to adopt it, since it saves the expense of boarding these prisoners in jails where very often they become hard ened and proficient in crime. Good Roads Win. The electien held in Lexington township yesterday on the question of issuing $100,000 of good roads bouds resulted in a majority of 59 votes for the bonds. Of the total registration of 760, 439 votes were cast for the bonds and 84 against. It was up to the good roods people to get more than 380 votes, or over half the registered vote, and they did this in good shape. Lexington Dispatch. Not Yet. Certain missionary fanatics are endeavoring to breax the force of my exposuies of the anti-apostolic methods now practiced in Fortigu Missions by whispeiing it around that I have been turned but of the Baptist church. 'Tain't so. There is no telling when I may be bounced, but up to the present writing, I'm all hunky-dory. Why, it was no longer than last week that my beloved pastor butted in on the telephone to tell me that th i young people wanted me to come 03'er to the tabernacle the en suing Sabbath and talk to them about literature. Of course the invitation was accepted, and last Sunday we had a real good time at our synagogue. One loveiy girl played the piano, another played the fiddle, another read an essay, and then I. spoke. No, I haven't been excommuni- cated as yet, Tom Watson, Melchisedec. We see the Recoud is coming out on religious points of doctrine, etc., in the form of querries. 7A num ber of these have struck our at tention. As a matter of interest to the readers of the Record we will refer to a few of them. 1st. Melchisedecs greatness. We think he was a human being likp the rest ot us, but holding the of fice of a priest, and probably ap pointed thereto by the A mighty. As to being without father or mother, etc., simply shows that the chronological history of his life was not on record, as was com mon in those days; hence as to father and mother and the begin ning and end of his days he had none on record; and as far as this chronological history was concern ed he had neither beginning nor end of his days. 2nd. Who was Cain's wifel Some seem to think Cain mar ried au Oran-outang and from thence the negro came; but we must not, forget that then people lived to be one thousand years old, and bj' the time Cain surely did marry there must have been at least five thousand six hundred women to choose from. Hence he was under no more constraint to mairy an Orang outang than others. 3rd. Did Judas fall from graeet We read in Acts 1-25: "From which Judas, by transgression fell, that he might go to his own place." Some may claim that he fell from his office as an apostle this may be true because he, as some of the present day. who are so close fisted as to squint, stint and pinch the preacher, the church and mis sions as to not only lose their of fice, but lose their christian graces and religion first, and finally their office in the church and their souls in eternity, Judas is not the only man or this kind. 4th. Somebody seems to think Christ did not make an atonement for all mankind, but only for the elect. If this be true, we do not understand such passages as "God so loved the world as to give His Son, etc., that the world through Him might be saved." "Ye will not come to Me that you might be saved." "Whosoever will, let him come and partake of the waters, of 4 life," etc," and man' similar pas sages. Observer. N. Glen Williams' Troubles. Mt. Airy Leader. Andrew Joyner, the Greensboro press correspondent, sends a story to his papers to the effect that Mr. X. Glen Williams, of Yadkin coun ty, during his visit to, Washington last .week with his lawyer, Mr. Spencer Adams, of Greensboro, succeeded in effecting compromises with the Departmeut of Justice in the suits pending in the Federal Courts against Mr. Willians. One of the indictments was in regard to the postoffice at Williams, of which Mr. Williams was postmaster for several j ears, and the other one in regard to irregularities at his gov ernment distillery. Mr. Joyner al so states that Mr. Williams has gone to Rochester, Minn., to be operated upon at the Mayo hospital for a long standing and troublesome disease. His physicians have ad vised and urged this operation for many months, but Mr. Williams has steadily refused to undergo it until he had settled all of his rev enue troubles and could leave his family, in case of fatal resnlt, free and clear of all legal complications; Curtailment Already Begun. New York, Oct. 20. An advance of $10 a bale in cotton has caused the cotton spinners "throughout the country to agree on a curtailment of the production. The producers claim they are unable to advance the sell ing price of their products in a way consistent with raw material ad vance. New England mills have al ready begun a curtailment and south ern rnHls will follow. Advice About Cotton. Progressive Farmer. Get the cotton ont of the field as fast as possible and get it baled, and then do not rush it to market, but keep it under cover and market as the price suits. There is always a large amount of "weak" cotton grown by croppers, which depresses the market in the fall. Wait till that rush is over, but do not leave your bales outdoors on the ground to get damaged. Get it under shel ter, and if there is a warehouse near you where you can store it, do ! so and take the receipts. Trade the cotton seed for meal and hulls if you can get a fair ex change, and then determine that you will feed these in addition to the pea hay and shredded stover and make manure for jour corn next spring. What a difference we would see on Southern farms if the cotton seed meal, pea hay asd corn stover were all fed on the land j that produces them! It would be easy to grow as much cotton as ever on one-third the area ! while having beef and pork to sell and farms growing richer instead of poorer, and less of the farmers' money going into the pockets of the fertilizer trust. Southern Shows Increased Business. Washington Dispatch, 12th. A substantial increase is shown in the gross income of the Southern ifailway Company during theear ending June 30, last, according to the fifteenth annual report of Presi dent W. W. Finley. The report says the return of business from the low level of panic conditions of 1907 was slow, but substantial dur ing past year.
