'HERE SHALL THE PRESS, THE PEOPLE'S RIGHTS MAINTAIN; UNA WED BY INFLUENCE AND UN BRIBED BY GAIN." VC MOCKSVILLE, NORTH CAROLINA. WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 16. 1910. NUMBER 32. ILUMNXI. . " DickNaylor's Letter. Home and Farm. ThPre hangs npon .iue au. ui U cafe in my city a picture which is iuteuaea w ue a. picDIug ne It is, in fact, a pleasant thing to the sijrbt of many, but to me it is not. The picture, evidently, is intended to arouse tne gastronomic . -'. f thfi enests who visit the place. It represents a corpulent button, seated at a table which three waiters are approaching with trays of rich lood for the old gour mand wbosje crinisou-hned feat ures are full of approval and ad miration for the feast. The motto upon the picture reads: 4 4 He lives 0Dg wno ines ru. The idea sought to be conveyed, evidently, is that he lives long ttbo panders most te his appetite. Tt is the sensual pleasure of the taste of food that is accentuated in the motto, without reference to the number of yeais one lives in the . . A 1 ' 4- body. The motto carries wiin li the idea of a luxurious and volup tuons life. It is an emphasized re iteration ot the "Uiree square meals a day" theory and the de claration that "I don't intend to die in debt to my stomach. n It is just such cherished false ideas and ideals as these that tend to draw mankind closer to the brute creation. The motto, as well as the picture it explains, is degrad ing rather than uplifting. A no bler sentiment might be expressed thus: "He lives long who Uvea tem perately." The temperate liver not only places more years to hta credit' bat farjietter years than ar ihgg of the man who lives solely to eat and drink. The man who wor ships his stomach is upon a much lower moral plane than the poor heathen who bows in admiration to the sun. It is right and proper to have due regard for one's stom ach, and the person who does will not tax it with overwork and im proper food just for mere momen tary gustatory gratification. "'Let us live while we live," should mean a great deal more to us than the sensual pleasure of pleasing our palate. During the late war between Russia and Japan the American Review of Reviews published one of the saddest pictures I ever look ed upon. The underline read: "A Russian Soldier-Peasant's Last Evening at Home With His Fam ily Before Soiniog the Army." It lepresents an exceedingly poor family of father, mother and four small children, in an exceedingly poor and scantily furnished room. They are sitting upon rough bench es aronud a heavy-looking table upon which is a half loaf of bread, a bowl and what appears to be a round covered dish. The heavily bearded father sits at one end cf the table, his elbow resting upon Jt and his head . leaning upon his band in an attitude of deep grav ity and sadness. The wife and children are liued up along the ide of the table to the right of the bnsband and father, . whose sad, earnest gaze into their faces indi cates that he is giving them a fare well talk. The faces of the wife aud three elder children (two boys and a girl) are tearfully - sad and attentive. The baby in the moth er's arms is gazing vacantly at the Ceiliog, happily oblivious to its unhappy surroundings.

Sanford's. - cruel edict of -a fierce and unre lenting government, which for cibly tears from a helpless woman and her babes their only support, is but one of the thousands --of cruel incidents of a heartless war of ac quisition and tyranny. The lives of these poor Russian peasants at bent are but scant, nar row and miserable. Now that the head of ihe family has been con scripted by a government that has always oppressed him, and com pels him to fiht for a cause with which he does not and cannot sym pathize, it would seem that a feel ing of utter despair would over whelm him. How are his loved ones to subsist while he is in the army? Their living is but a bare existence with his hard, daily la bor as their only resource. Then there is the strong presumption that he may never live to return to Ida humble. hut and povery-strick-en family. Can you imagine a sadder fate, dear reader! Did you ever look upon a sadder picture? Russia, however, down trodden and oppressed as it is, is not the only country that furnishes us with sad pictures for our serioua con templation and sympathy. Sor row, hardship and suffering are common to all countries. For a century or more our own boasted "land of the free and home of the brave," was peculiarly blessed as a general safety port for the op pressed and unfortunate of all the old world countries. We were hap pily free from those discomforts and distrossing conditions incident to densely populated lands, and es pecially those where the people had no voice in the government, but alas! "limes change and" we change with them.": A'tew days ago a Texas news paper published a two-column cut of two little five yeai -old boys standing side by side. The cap tion read: "Two Youngsters in Denison Begin Business Life Ear ly." The names of the little fel low's appeared below the picture, and also the statement that "Man ager Gordon, of the Postal Tele graph Company, advertised - for two live messengers, and these two youngsters applied early the next morning. He put them on, aud they were soon in possession - of blue suits and caps. There was no complaint as to. tardy deliver ies it While not an advocate of child labor, I am free taadmitthat there are circumstances and conditions wh ich sometimes make it necessary . Yet, is iG not sad, indeed, to look upon the picture of two boys of the tender age of five years, hav ing to brave the winter's blasts aud the summer's oppressive heat in order to earn the bread they eat? Mere babes, they appear, with se rious little faces looking straight into yours from the newspaper's dage. They seem to be saying: "Yes, sir. we know we are very young and very little to have to go to hard work, but our parents ar very poor, and everything we eat and wear is very dear, and there is no help for it. We know that we should be in a kindergarten or some other school for little child ren, but we must work instead of going to school. We realize that we will miss an education, but we can't help it. "We know that failing to get even a common school education will forever put us at a great dis advantage in thebattle of life and ,.' Saved From Awful Peril. "I never felt so near my grave," writes Lewis Chamblin, of Manchester, Ohio, R. R. No. 3, "as when a frightful cough and lung trouble pulled me down to 115 pounds in spite of many remedies and the best doctors. And that I am alive today is due solely to Dr. King's ' New Discovery, which completely cured me. Now I weigh 160 pounds and can work -hard. It also cured my four children of croup." Infal lible for Coughs and Colds, its the most certain remedy for LaGrippe, Asthma, desperate lung trouble and all bronchial affections. 50c. and $1. A trial bottle free, Guaranteed by C. C. Sanford. must 'take our medicine.' We know that our having to go to re gular, steady work while we are so young and so little will tend to keep us small, both in mind and bady, but we must take the con sequences." Alas! Our land of the free and home of the brave is sadly but steadily drifting into the channel of child labor and poverty that has crushed the masses of the people in other and more populous countries. Many sad pictures will be made as our condit5 ng of life become more and mere . -enuous, cramped and exacting. The moet plausible plan of re lief and escape from such a state of things seem to be the diversion of the surplus urban population to the unoccupied farming lands and a more intelligent and intensive cultivation of these lands a prob lem for philanthropists and politi cal economists to solve. Statesville Heard From. While there are no licensed near beer dealers in Statesville and no application of license pending just at this time, in view of the fact that there has been talk that ap-. plication will be made, the alder men hava passed an ordinance placing stringent- regulations on near-beer dealers. The liceuse tax has been increased from $500 to $1,000, all licenses to be dated July 1, and not to be granted for less than one year. The person in charge of the ni-beer saloon must furnish samples from his stock each month for analysis, the cost of analysis to be paid by the deal er, etc. It is hardly probable that iayof the-' prospective applicants for the license will meet the re quirements. - From Fob Taylor. I would rather fill my purse with money and keep its gales ajar to my happy girls while they linger under my roof than to clutch it with a miser's hand until all the harp8tring8 of youth are broken and its music forever fled. I would rather spend my last nickel for a bag of striped marbles to gladden the hearts of my bare foot boys than to deny their childish pleas ures, and leave them a bag of gold to quarrel over when I die. I ab hor the pitiless hawk that circles only to swoop down and strangle the laughter and song of his own family, Senator Bob Taylor. Meat Prices Much Higher. Meat prices are higher today than ever. Dropping for a time, while the rgitation for the elimi nation of meat from diet was fresh, quotations both wholesale and re tail have mounted to figures equal to and in some cases above those prevailing before the movement began. Indications, promineut dealers sav, are that still higher prices are coming. ... How It Sounded.

"Our two children of six and eight years have been since infancy subject to ..colds and croup. - About three years ago I star ted to use Foley's Honey and Tar, and it has never failed to prevent and cure these troubles. It is the only medicine I can get the children to take without a row. The above from W. C. Ornstein, Green Bay, Wis., duplicates the experience of -thousands of other users of Foley's Honey and Tar. Sold by all Druggists, i i Worst Boy in School. Here is a pretty story from life told by the Marrill (Kan.) News: 'He was the worst boy in school; she was the teacher. She was an gered py nis stubnorness; ne was deSant. She took him to the hall for punishment. Angrily she ad: ministered the penalty and -then somehow a great wave of pity for the bo swept over her. She look ed at the worn coat of the little fellow; she thought of the trail body deprived of nourishing food; she thougbtof the hard and love less home ard of the starved sonl of the poor kid. Tears sprang to the teacher's eyes as the boy wait ed for further punishment. Theu he saw the tears. His own ejTes grew most and overflowed. Think ing of how the poor boy nad no chance, in an impulse of love she put her arms around the boy and they cried together. This is re ligion. She and the boy both found it." Don't Get "Soft." Young man, when you are court ing your best girl, don't get soft. Dou't say: "These little hands will not do a stroke of work when you are mine, and you shall have nothiug to do in our house but to sit all day long and chirp to the canaries." As if any sensible wo man could be happy fooling away her time in that sort of style A girl has a retentive memory of the soft things and silly promises of ceurtship, and occasionally, in af ter years, when she is bending over the washtub or patching the west end of your trousers, she will remind vou of them in the cold sarcaetic tones of voice. Lenoir Topic. Say a Good Word. Waxhaw Enterprise. This thing of saying a good word about your town is a habit which the people of this community need to cultivate and they need it bad ly. You just start out here some bright niorning yes, even on a bright morning, when every one ought to - feel good and mention something about any citizen, we don't care who he is, or how pure he is, and you will be surprised to know how many people have out their little hammers and how with their might they will be trying to use them. Now, how much better it would be if we all had a good word to say of our neighbors. What makes your town but the people who live in it? When you hit them don't you know yon are striking your town, anxl when you strike your town, don't you know that yon are driving blows at your own little head? Say something good or keep your tongue in your month. You will feel better your self and you will be better, too. Dependent on the Farmer.

A few minutes delay in treating some cases of croup, even the length of time it takes to go for a doctor often proves dan gerous. The safest way is to keep Cham berlain's Cough Remedy in the house, and at the first indication of . croup, give the child a dose. Pleasant to take and always cures. Sold by C. C. Sanford Sons Co.
