A Lecture on Kissing.
Rtr TTncle Toby.
Some little old grumpy preacher
who perhaps, could not gain noto
riety in any other way, has put the
statement out where the public
could see it that kissing is Bending
more people to hell than r anything
else. Your Uuncle Toby don't be
litve it. He denies the alligation
Tho facts don't support it- There
isnt anything in the world to sup
port it but circumstantial evidence
and miffht? weak circumstantial
evidence at that.
Xo one who has ever gone to hell
has ever sent back State's evidence
th Massing sent hini there. No
one has ever complained that kis
na has kmt them from going to
u& "
heaven. There is no command in
the Bible aeainst kissing. This
trrumpy old preacher is mistaken
Perhaps he is dizzy in his attic, or
he may have to many feathers in
the wincrs of his imagination. He
ought to pull some of them out and
fctick them in the tail of his judg
mpnt. Tf kissing sends people to
UJ v. - J
hell your Uncle Toby has a lull
Tairi.rm through passage to that
sr cj w
resort.
Tr wasn't the kiss that Judas
gave Christ when he betrayed Him
that sent him to hell; he had al
ready secured his ticket and ex
pense money from the high priesis.
If the Reverend Grumpy wants to
find out what sends people to hell
he will have to dig deeper than
kissing.
Your Un'ile Toby has studied
this kissing question a good deal,
not ojly theoretically but practic
ally. He has kissed about every
thing from si baby's foot to aninty-year-old
grandma. A kiss is the
ripened fruit fJo?eecbD,.
if there is no love or affection then
the kissea are wormy or rotton fruit.
Sometimes women kiss who have
no affection for each other. These
are not kisses; they are imitations,
counterfeits. Men don't kiss each
other; they don't like to mix their
tobacco juice.
It was not a kiss that caused the
fall of Adam and Eve. If the wo
man had kissed the snake, or the
snake had kissed the woman, or
they both had, kissed each other
the Bible would have said so, for
it oten mentions kissing.
Kissing is an art which can be
acquired with a great deal of prac
tice, but it doesn't embellish it by
being to systematic about it. Stolen
kisses are the sweetest, especially
when they are put out willingly
and where they can be stolen with
out too much publicity. A kiss is
the evidence of something back ot
it. Sometimes it is like faith:
"The evideLce of things not seen
and the substance of things hoped
for." As the lamented Josh Bill
ings so aptly expresses it:
"Tis sweet to court, but, oh, how
bitter
To court a gal and then not git
her."
As I have already stated, kissing
is an art, but it is not an art like
painting a picture or writing poet
ry. There are no set rules. Some
times a catch as catch can kiss
gives as good satisfaction as one
given with deliberate premeditati
0 and malice aforethought.
There are so many kinds of kiss
es that it is difficult to give a de
foition of the word; but your Un
cle Toby has collected, as souvenirs
for his jnn k pile, a few which he ia
billing to hang out, where the pu
blic can see them. Here i? the
holejob lot of dfiuitions to a kiss:

Which never comes amiss.

Predicts The Wont Winter Since
1857. v
Weather predictions are interes
ting, hit are miss. Mr. James Ab
bott, of Greensboro, a man whose
business keeps him out doors the
year round has been hitting it very
well on what the winters will bring
forth says the Record. La9t Sep-,
tember he made a bet of a suit of
clothes that there would not be a
fall of snow as much three inches
all winter. He won. Last week
he wanted to wager a bet with the
same man but he declined. How
ever he made his prediction and is
standing by it to wit. That the
coming winter vill be the worst
since 1857. This will do as a starter
for this was the worst winter ever,
with snow on top of snow, each
from one to lour feet on a level.
Mr. Abbott puts it down that there
will be at least six snows of six in
ches deep before the birds sing next
spring. This is quite enough but
six enches deep will not compare
with the winter of 57. However it
is hoped it will be no worse than
six inches even if there should be
six inches.
A Christmas Present That Means
Something.
There is one especially good thing obout
a .Christmas present of The Youth's Com
panion. It shows that the giver thought
enough of you to give you something worth
while.
It is easy to choose something costing a
great deal more which is absolutely use
less, but to choose a present costing only
$1.73 that will provide a long year's . en-
ship of the wise and greet, is another mat
ter. There is one oresent. however, which
does juslt that The Youths Companion.
If youwant to know whether it is ap
propriate or welcome, just visit the home
of some Companion subscriber on Com
panion day.
Do not choose any Christmas present
until you have examined The Companion.
We will send you free sample copies and
the beautiful Prospectus for 1911, telling
something of how The Companion has re
cently been enlarged end improved. ;
The one to whom you give the subscrip
tion will receive free all the numbers of
1910 issued after the money is received;
also The Companion's art Calendar for
1911. lithographed in " twelve colors . and
gold. These will be sent to reach the sub
scriber Chsistmas morning if desired.
You, too, as a giver of the subscription,
wiU receive a copy of the Calender.

Can Farmers Co-operate Success
Vi ' fully?
If our Southern farmers will get
back upon the bed rock principle
of living at home and will get out
of debt and stay out of debt, they
Can co operate successfully in either
selling or buying, or in the estab
iishment and maintenance of any
kind of industrial enterprise to
manufacture their raw material.
I!he first essential is io get back
Upon the basic principle of farm
ing by producing a living at home,
for. the farmer who always produc
es his living at home never has to
go in debt, beciuse he doesn't have
to buy his living. Oa his products
which he consumes at home, which
represents the greater part of his
year's labor, he pays no tolls at
the Bumtroiis toll gates.that are lo- j
cated along our commercial high
way. He has to pay no exhorbi
tant and excessive freight charges
and be doesu't have to lose th
time and furnish the team neces
sary to haul an impoited living out
from the station to his country
home. If our farmers will, as
quickly as' possible, coreect the
economic error of buying a living,
and will plant cotton or tobacco as
a surplus crop only, it will cause a
limited productiou of these crops,
wbiah will result in a stronger de
mand that will enhance prices of
these surplus crops. Having iio
debts to pay, and not being under
necessity of selling any portion of
hese surplus crops to buy a living
the live at-home farmer can old
them until he gets good and ready
to sell.. Then by systematic co-op
eration with other farmers in the
ia the sale of these surplus products
f ion to-dictate t piices, ; as he ough t
to do and as other classes do. .. The
Union live-at-homc farmers- have
it within their power to get out of
that humble, cowardfy begging
attitude when thay go to town with
something to sell, and it we rise to
the occaeion, as duty demands, we
will lift our calling (rom the low
miserable, cringing postion that
has disgraced it, and by modern,
scientific methods of. , distribution,
we will place the noble occu pation
of farming where it rightly belongs.
When we get in the attitude of
pricing the products of our labor,
folks will lift their hats to us when
we go to town, instead of smiling"
upon us as ignorant hayseeders,
and cartooning us with broad-brim
hats and long whiskers. Can farm
ers cooperate successfully? Most
emphatically they can, and if we
will produce the conditions and
environments outlined above we
can co operate longer, and with less
financial embarrassment, than any
other class ou earth. As long as
we have our living at home, we can
stick toco operative arrangements
even during a financial panic, and
uo other class can do this. Yes,
farmerscan do anything, in reason,
that they want to do, through co
operation. It is not a quetiou as
to what we can do, but what we
will do. When we fully realize
our strength and Our power we can
and we will bring about a trans
formation in rural life conditions
in this country. Carolino Union j
