The Massachusetts legislature is work
ing on a bill to tax bachelors $5 per year.
The North Carolina lawmakers should pass
such a law.
Tennessee has a new sensation. A Re
publican GovernorTlas not only been elec
ted, but will be permitted to hold the of
fice. Exchange.
The many friends of Hon. W. A. Bailey
will be glad to learn that he is very much
improved in health, although he will not
be able to take his seat in the present
session of the legislature.
A lady asks "if the school teachers are
tardy, do they have to make speeches?"
Can't say. It takes all our time looking
after the skating rink, without gettirg
tangled up with the schools.
If there is another Democrat in the State
who wants to be appointed a justice of
the peace he should hurry up and say so.
The Legislature has already appointed
them as far as its acquaintanceship runs
Caucasian.
With regard to the row over the MocH- j
vil!e skating rink, the Lexington Leader j
declares that fo-purposes of amusement
it would rather mix up with a buzz saw
than bntt into this discussion. We are
inc'ined to believe that the Leader's dis
cretion is fuUy warranted. Charlotte Ob
server. Persons reading The Record are left ur.
der the impression that Mocksville has
but three stores and no hotels, one bank
and no barber shops, one harness shop
and no drug store, one dentist and no doc
tors, one restaurant and no livery stables,
no factories, or shops. A sad commentary
oa our town. Every business house, fac
toy. and professional man should use a
little printer's-ink to let those at home and
in other sections know that this town does
sime business.
Representative S. E. Marshall has intro
d iced a biil for free text books for Public
Schools. An effort will be made to side
track the bill so as to make it apply to
counties as may desire it. The reason is
platn. It Is a plank of the last Republi
can State platfor.n and Democrats will
handle it gingerly, it would mean much
for the public schools and Representative
Marshall wili do his best to have it en
acted into a State-wide law, as it should
be, for really it is not a political question
Union Republican.
A Salisbury item says that a move
ment has been started looking to the
building of a trolly line from Salisbury to
Cooleemee, Mocksville and perhaps Yad
kinville and other points north of Rowan
county. The proposed line would traverse
a rich section of conntry and link togeth
er a number of thriving towns. It is be
lieved that such a line would prove profi
table from the start and a Dumber of sub
stantial business men are pushing the
proposition. The Record would be glad
to see an electric line built from Salisbury
through Mocksville. It would put Rowan
and Davie in closer touch with each other
and would mean much to both counties.
We say let her come.
We have more respect for the four-foot
ed hogs who have to root for their living
than for the two-legged swine who will
take a paper three or four years and then
when asked to settle, will mark it "re
fused," and have it returned to the office.
The grave-robber, the highwayman, the
pickpocket and the purse-snatcher are not
worse than the paper thief. Of course, if
a man notifies the editor to stop his pa
per when the time expires and the editor
keeps sending it on after being notified,
then it is not the fault of the subscriber.
But there are a certain class of people who
think it their duty to rob the editor. They
take a special delight in doing so. Such
people. may manage to live and get along
all right in this world, but they will get
their just deserts in the world to come A
man who would steal from an editor Mil
steal meat out of the . hand of a blind
pauper. We are glad there are but few.

Advertising Pays.
It pays to advertise. But it's
hard to get some people to believe
it. It pays whether they have com
petition or npt. Advertising not
only tells people where to buy, but
induces them to buy. Keep your
business before the folks. In the
papers they read, is the surest and
cheapest medium.
If you have what the folks want,
advertise it and they will see it. Es
pecially if put so they see a bargain
in it. We advertised some land. It
showed there was a bargain in it.
Letters of inquiry poured 4 in. Men
came to inquire about it.
The people didn't buy all they
wanted before Christmas and during
trie holinays. They ara now buying
what they must have, or be induced
to buy. They have the money. It
should be put into circulation. Those
Who are lee'ring it and advertising
for it. should get it, are entitled to
it, and will get it, that's all, Ex.

Tendency to Extremes.
Prohibition has practically wiped
out the sale of spirituaus and malt
liquors in this State. The Legisla
ture is being urged to pass a gener
al law restricting the sale of neHr.S'
I
beer. Would it not be well for ! 3"
the General Assembly to include
wine, an unrestricted industry and
thus make a clean sweep? Tften
soda fountain drinks should next
receive attention. They dTno
ph j sical good and some are said to
be impregnated with dope. Cigar
ettes are also receiving a "black
.eje" and tobacco in other forms
may come in next for attention, as
a luxury, pure and simple. It is
an avje ol extremes and when the
limit is reached the pendulum
swings back and then comes the
reaction. This is history and h s
tory repeats itsell. Uuiou Repub
