THE DAVIE RECORD. C FRANK STROUD - - Editor. OFFICE Second Story Ansel Building Main St. Entered atthePostoffice in Mocks ville, N. C, as Second-class Mail matter. March 3. 1903. TERMS OF SUBSCRIPTION: One Year, in Advance 50c Six Months, in Advance. 25c WEDNESDAY DECEMBER. 7, 191C They tell us that the price of meat keeps fallinar, but you can search us. All the tfood people in Davie coun ty do not take The Record some of them borrow their neighbor's copy. A gentleman asked us the other day if we ever heard of an editor borrowing" money. Can't say, but we know of some who have tried mighty hard. We cannot use more than two or three turkeys Christmas. Our val ued friends who have been planning to give us a turkey can send us in lieu thereof a pair of pants or a shirt or two. From fifty to two hundred lumber wagons come into town every day. Ac this rate, it will only be a matter of a few years until there will not be enough lumber left in the county to build a chicken coop. If there areanv more of our sub scribers who cannot stand to read the truth in large doses, they are at liberty to have their paper stopped at any time, provided they pay us what is due on their subscription. Our subscribers can do their Xmas shopping when they get ready. It is none of our business, but it will pay them to trade with the merch ants who solicit their patronage through the columns of The Record. The Winston Journal is given fair warning to have a barrel of locust beer on tap next Thursday week, at the big Southbound celebration, for we are making preparations to go, and will be thirsty when we arrive. ..TheRecord jsjthe oldest paper in the county. JtLgiyes more lodal and eounty news, and has more than double the circulation of any county paper. Good reasons why it pays to take The Record and use its adver tising columns. Your friends or relatives who are away from the county would appre ciate The Record as a Christmas-gift. Why not make the absent ones hap py by sending them their county pa- per. it win visit tnem 51 times a year for only 50 cents. No other present would please them so well. In our opinion the farmers would do well to dispose of their cotton at the present high prices. We maybe wrong, but for the past three years we have advised them and if they had listened to us they would have made money. Some of them took our advice and were glad of it. Of course no one can predict with cer tainty, but we look for low prices and tough times in general before the end of next year. We hope that such will not be the case, but mark our prediction. -We wish to thank those of our subscribers who have responded toj our appeal for help. Quite a num ber have called and paid up, while others have sent in their renewals. There are many left, however, who j have neither called or sent in any of the filthy lucre. We would be glad for all who can to pay us at once, so we can start the New Year owing no man. We are trying to give you a good paper, and our expenses are heavy. It takes money to pay these expenses. We know you will help us by subscribing or renewing. Habit is a cable; we spin a thread of it every day, and at last we can not break it.

For the Dast four centuries the average duration of human life has kept pace with general knowledge of sanitary science. In the sixteenth century when people knew so little about hygiene and sanitation the aveaage duration of life was 22.2 years. In the early part of the nine teenth century it reached about 30 yeaas. Since the discovery of germs the microscope have revolutionized sanitary science resulting in wonder ful progress within the past few de cades. The average duration of life has reached 44 years. And still. 42 per cent, of the mill ion and a half deaths in our country annually are due to preventable dis eases. Such a disease as hookworm, now sapping the blood and blasting the lives of so many thousands of our people should not be allowed to i remain among us while examinations are free, thymol cheap, and soil pol lution both preventable and immoral.
