.1 vi : : - ' .1 MOCKSVILLE. NORTH CAROLINA, WEDNESDAY. MARCH 9 1910. NUMBER 3S. . . ' ' . i . - And It Came to Pass. And it came to pass that many of 1 i L merchants of Mocksville, seeing f ch 0f the county's money going the far north ana wesi, uiu as mhle together and reason among Lnselves in an effort to keep their Lney at home, and some ot tnem L they would advertise in TheRe- jord, that by spending a little of heir substance they would get m eturnmueh of their fellowman's rade. Thus reasoning among them elves, they went their ways, and lo, hose that were wise did write many telling the people of their wares nd how they appreciated their pa : ronage. But the foolish comroun (d among themselves, saying, should re advertise we shall have to spend hat which we already have made, nd they advertised not. Then came Teat multitudes unto Mocksville nd did buy of those who advertised aying, "were we not foolish indeed o buy our goods in a far country fhen our home merchants have bet er goods at no greater price than iat which we have been paving for Lddy stuff." And behold, those foolish merchants who were too aose-fisted to advertise, looked on in wonder at the great -multitudes mying from their compeditors, and ,5keth of the passer-by ; what mean ithsuch crowds, and answer was hade thus: "Verily verily, it is tasier for a man to get" credit from jears, Rareback & Co., than it is or a merchant to get trade who oes not edvertise." And the "f ool ih merchants said unto themselves: What fools we be; let us not stand ere idle all the day, while bur ene ly selleth his wares, but let us get usy and spend a little of whatvwe5 ave that we may gather in many -heckels that are passing our doors," ook up the ads in The Record, and ou will know who the ; wide-awake lerehants are.

About Good Roads. We read a great deal about good gcod roads and bad roads, and we hear a great deal of talk about roads, and we sometimes talk some ourselves, and we have heard them discussed and cussed (especially a- long now;, so much that we thought we would wiite some about them, yet at the same time if there was lesjs writing and talking and more work, we would have better roads. We have a road law in Davie coun ty, and if that law was enforced we would not have to do so much cussing as we do. We do not do very much traveling over the coun ty, but as far as we have been we have not seen a road that was any thing like what the law requires. We see so many places where two vehicles cannot pass each other. when just a little work would make it the proper width. And how many sign boards do you see in the county, and in how many town: ships do the Boards of Supervisory meet, as the law directs! We can only speak for the one in which we live. They have held about three meetings in the last fifteen or twen ty years, and that was while this poor quill driver was on the Board, and we tried to get the board and ourselves to do some part of their duty. We got a few guide boards put up, some of them nearly as large as your hand, and the writ ing on them well it took good glasses to see it, but we can con gratulate ourself ou being so suc cessful in one thing, and that was we got so many good cussings. We have read articles on roads from different parts of the country, and we. find that some of them come from men who would not dp a days. work on the road i f they could help it, and just such as that makes our stomach feel j ust - like it' was made of a sheep- skin, but the point we wish to make is this - let's carry out the law on roads as close as we do on some other mat ters and we will soon see a differ ence. Let the Boards of Supervis ore do their duty, and if they fail to do it, then let the grand jury do theirs. KUXTHEFOOLSOFF. The Juniors Had a Warm Time. The Greensboro correspondent of the Baleigh Kews and Observer h ears thai at the meeting of , the State Council of the Junior Order in Greensboro last week there was a mighty "hot time in the executive sessions--so warm in fact that there were fisticuffs. The. trouble was on account of the orphanage question and differences with the national organization of the order, which opposes the establishment of a State orphanage. Last year there was a threat to secede from ; the national organization, as the Vir ginia State council has done, but the matter was smoothed over. Despite the opposition to the State orphanage it is said a resolu tion to establish the orphanage was adopted by a vote of 98 to 12, and $10,000 was appropriated as a nu cleus fund for the purpose. The matter is to.be submitted to; sub ordinate councils for ratification t r rejection .States ville Landmark . The farmer's profession has a peace attachment which none oth er can boast of.

Logan and Claud Dockery were today nominated for United State marshals for the western and east ern districts of North Carolina. There was joy in the heart of Be presentative Grant when the name of Logan appeared upon the board. No one opposed Dockery. Bepresentative Cowles went to the White House this morning, accompanied by General Hitch cock, and The Star this afternoon had this to say of the result of the visit: "After many conferences, President Tafc today decided apon three important nominations for North Carolina. Ex Judge Spen cer B. Adams, chairman ol the Be pnblican State committee, is to be United States attorney of the wes-; tern district, succeeding Alfred E. Holton; Claudius Dockery, United States marshal of the eastern and VVilliam E. Logan, United States marshal of the western district, the former succeeding himself. The decision was reached this morning after a conference with Boatmaster General Hitchcock and Bepresentative Cowles." Two Sinners. ; The following which is taken from an exchange shows the in justice and inconsistency of the world fn dealing with two classes of sinners man and woman as we have all seen it: She was a woman, worn and thin, whom the world condemned for a single sin. They cast her oat of the king's" highway," and passed her by as they went to pray. He was a man and. more to blame, but tlie" world spared h i nt a ., breath of shame. JBeneath his feet -he saw her lie, but he raised bis head and passed her by. They were the peo ple who went to pray at the tem ple of God on that holy day. They scorned the woman, forgave the man; 'twas ever thus since the world began. Time passed on and . the woman diedj'on a cross of shame she was crucified. The world was stern and,would not yield, and they bur ied per in a potter's field. The man died, too, and they buried him in a casket of cloth, with a silver brim, and ' as they turned from the grave away, said, we buried a noble man today." Two mortals knocked at heav en's gate stood face to face to in quire their fate. He carried a passport with an earthly sign, but she a pardon from love divine. Oh, ye who judge 'twixt love and vice, which; think ye, entered Paradise! Not he whom the world has said would win, but the wo man alone was ushered in. Spurious Money in Salisbury. Concord Times. Spurious money has been plenti ful in Salisbury for the past two weeks and the officers are working hard to locate the source from which it is coming. 'Certificates o the one dollar denomination has been passed at a eumber of places and 25-cent pieces, which appears to good advantage, but composed of lead, is also to be found. It is believed the money was floated in to Salisbury by workmen on the Southbound railroad. How Good News Spreads. "I am 70 years old and travel most of the time," writes B. P. Tolson of Elizabethtown, Ky. 'Everywhere I go I recommend Electric Bitters because I owe my excellent health and vitality to them. They effect a cure every time."

Sanford.' - News From Smith Grove Last week was a rough week sleet, snow, rain, and mud was no little, and Friday blew up cold a gain. It made us all sit close to our fires, to keep warm. We were probd to see the sun shining those few days, but it did not last long until it was cold and sleeting again. Mr. P. L. Smith drove in our burg a few weeks ago with his green house on a wagon to take pictures for us, but on account of bad weather we are afraid he has not done much. Boys and girls have your beauty struck for your friends ahd neighbors will want one, for Icrow's are bad in this country.1 W e a re sorry to hear that Mr. B. S. Ca&hs' mule fell down one day last week, while he was riding him. The animal fell on him, but no bones were broken, although he is very sore. Mr. Cash, that mule must be a bad mule, as this is the second time for him this winter. He fell with Mr. Cashs' daughter some few weeks ago," and hurt the girl right much. The, cold and sleety weather caught several of our wood piles with no wood, but we cut some green piues which stood on the streets and burned chips for coal. Mr. W. Y. Allen has bought Mrs. Henry Saunders timber on Cub creek and will move his mill in a short while. We are glad to" see oar - young triend, Mr. D. F. Taylor back at home again. He has been holding a position in a furniture factory in Winston but has come home to till the soil. -. Mrs. Josie Ward from . Jerusa lem ,.isiiti ng relati ves and frlend in and around onr burg this week- Mrs. Beulah Sheek visited Mrs. Georgia Williams last week. " : We have understood that Mr. James Crotts is going to leave our burg and move his family to Win ston to run a boarding house. We will miss him for the slabs" at our woodpiles are . getting low. Wish he would saw us some more slabs, for the winter isn't gone yet. Oh, these beautifal sunny days makes us feel like old rusty shoes look when they are shined "and glossed up. It has been, so lone we have been housed up, that we feel new when the sun shines. Mrs. Beulah Sheek visited Mrs. Chas. Shackleford one day last week. Mr. John Shackelford, of Bed land, visited Mr. John W. Wil Iiams last Saturday and Sunday. We are glad to see our hustling merchants wearing smiles.; Makes us feel like business is running their way We wish all of them success in their business for the year 1910, for this is going to .be a hard year on us poor people and dogs on account of short crops last year.

Horse Drowned and Mail Lost. Last Tuesday Mr. Watson Low er v, rural mail carrier on Boute 1, from Cana, had the misfortune to lose his horse and pouch of mail in Dutchman creek, Mr. Lowery was crossing the swollen stream on a bridge, when a chunk or log came floatiLg down the stream, and the horse, seeing the object, became frightened and 'jumped from the bridge into ten or fifteen feet ol water, and was drowned before he could be gotten out. The mail pouch was also washed away, but we understand that there was no registered mail in the pouch. We sympathize with Mr. Loweiy in the loss of his horse, but glad that the accident was no worse, . Marriage and Runaway. Mr. H. Bobert Williams and Miss Lula Barneycastle were mar ried at Advance, Feb. 27th. Mr. Williams is a brother of F. M. Williams, of Bixby, and B. G. Williams, of Advance. Mr. G. W. Potts had a horse to run away last Saturday evening at Advance. He ran against a tree and killed himself. A Subscriber. Probably Fatally Burned. Harmony Cor. Statesville Landmark. Miss Beulah Gaither, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Gaither, who live near Harmony, fainted while sitting before the fire Feb. 25th. and fell into the fire. Mr. Gaither, who had been put only a few seconds, came in and found her tace in - the tire. He pulled her gut as quick as he' could, Dr. Journey 'was sent for and every thing.ia being- donethat -can : be done, but it Us "'ieared : her burns will prove fatal. Mr. ' and Mrs. Gaither are almost prostrated over the accident vH People look upon a 6-footer who weighs over 200 as a big man -until he proves that he's little. To Our Subscribers. We are not in the habit of calling on our subscribers for money, but we have reached the point that we feel constrained to ask for a share of your consideration. Not that we need the money of . course, because editors never need money. Our gro cerymari is always glad to feed us free of charge while the dry goods merchants and clothiers are anxious to have us draw on them for our needs when it suits us to do so. The man from whom we rent is also glad to extend us the free use of his building, while ink and paper houses are vieing with each other to see who can furnish us the most stock free of charge. Our printers are also falling over themselves to work for us simply for the love they have for us. It will thus be seen that we have absolutely no use for money, but we must confess that we some times get to wondering how money looks and get to actually craving sight of the stuff. We are not greedy but we would actually be glad to have a three months subscription to our paper paid in advance so that we could say that we had money. Think over the matter, brethren, and imagine how you would feel if you never caught signt of "the coin of the realm" even though you had no use for it. When you come to town bring along twenty-five cents and leave it with us. and we will cer tainly thank you. Times-Mercury. Solomon Shepard Recaptured. Burlington, Feb. 28. Solomon Shepard, the convicted murderer of Engineer Holt and- who a few weeks ago was sentenced to serve a SO year term in the penitentiary and who escaped from a railway construction camp , near Laurin burg, gave the people of Alamance a lively chase yesterday and wan finally captured and returned- to the penitentiary today by Officer G, L. Patillo and Deputy Sheriff C D. Story of Burlington. In a musician's strike the wind instrument players are not likely to come to blows. With your land wheh for the sake of saving a few dollars you use a fertilizer whose only recommendation is its analysis. It requires no spe cial knowledge to mix mate-' rials to analyses. The value of a fertilizer lies in the ma terials used, so as not to over feed the plant at one time and starve at another.' This is why Roystcr brands are so popular. Every in gredient has its particular work to do. Twenty-five years experience in making goods for Southern crops has enabled us to know what is required.
