WEDNESDAY, JULY 12. 1911 NUMBER 1 . . . : i r The Building and Loan AssociV'on. The following article is copied from The Lexington Dispatch for the benefit of the. citizens of Mocks ville and the surrounding sections Read the article carefully and see the great results that can and aie being obtained through these asso ciations. The town of Mocksville could double her population iu ten years if she had a Building and Loan Association. Let's get busy, call a meeting of the citizens of the and organize an association and be gin work now. A gentleman living in a nearby town has offered to lend his assistance at any time in helping us to organize. Talk this matter up between yourselves. The Dispatch article follows: The Lexington Perpetual Build ing and Loan Association will issue its third series of stock July 1 Capt. C. M. Thompson, secretary and treasurer of the association, now has the subscription books open at his office and is ready to at tend to all comers. The association is doing a great oiL iu Lexington. It has enabled a number of men to build and own their own homes during the last six months, and others now hold ing stock are preparing to build. The association was never so full of enthusiasm as it is today and it is apparent that it is just entering upon the period of usefulness. Wisely managed, the association offers absolute safety to investors and home builders. One of the finest things in the world for the erowine boy is to teach him to. save mofly wMIe he is young and teachable. The build ing and Loan association offers an ideal way. Any industrious boy can carry one share of stock, or more, and on one share the dues are 25 cents per week, or $1 per month. A certificate of stock is issued to him and when the stock matures it is worth exactly $ 100 to him. It is estimated that the stock if the installments are paid regul arly, plus accrued interest and earnings, will mature within 74 months from date of issue. In that time he will hate paid in $74 in actual cash and the association will hand him $100. Teach the boy to save while he is yet a boy and when he is old he will keep it up. To the man who is paying out rent every month the association offers an escape. Few of the houses 'that are to rent in Lexington cost over $700 each. Many of these houses, perhaps the majority of them, rent for about $10 per month or $120 per year. The man who pays rent, therefore pays out month after month, with no prospect but to keep up the same old grind con tinually, more than enough money to make him a home-owner. If he should take out seven shares of stock in the B. & L. association which would cost him $7 per month for his installments, the association would lend him $700 with which to build him a home. The interest on this $700, payable monthly, would be $3.50 making a total monthly payment of $10.50. In 74 months his stock matures and he owns his home in fee simple and he has paid for it with rent money. If he continues to pay rent for months, at the end of the time he will have paid out for a house no better than he could build for $700 the sum of $740, and he will not have a thing to show for it. The B. & L. association is the poor man's friend. It is also the best field for the small and large in vestor. It offers absolute safety for any amount, large or small, that an investor wants to put away and the interest paid is slightly above the regular six per cent. Interest begins from the very first payment and, since every cent of it is secur ed by first mortgage on valuable real estate thereN is no chance for any one to lose. Charlotte owes, its supremacy to day to the B. & L. associations that have built thousands of homes and i building hundreds more every Thejenviable condition of the building and loan field in that city is in a large measure due to the life of S. Wittkowsky, the pioneer of the building and loan work in that section. To his untiring energy, to his undying zeal, to his beautiful character and exalted sense of duty to his fellowmen, the city of Charl otte owes an everlasting debt of gratitude. . Not only in Charlotte but in many other towns in North and South Carolina is his name revered ever ready as he was to lend a help ing hand to a fellow-laborer, to make suggestions, give advice, help organize or to answer any call that might be made upon him for the furtherance of this great work. Many are the building and loan as sociations that owe their conception their erowth, their usefulness to the correct use of the methods and principles gained through his ad vice. Mr. Wittkowsky in his lectures, used to tell something ot tne way the building and loan associations were encouraged in Charlotte. The head of a business would induce each of his clerks to take out a few shares. The man seeking employ mentfom d himself confronted with this question; "Do you carry stock in the building and loan?" If this question was announced in the af- firmaiive he was investigated and if the treasurer of the association reported that he paid up promptly he stood a good chance of landing the job. The man who carried no building and loan stock but relied on letters of recommendation, which nearly any one can get, was usually overlooked entirely. More Bibical Matter. It is a well known fact, and has never been questioned, that when yon behold the starry heavens dur ing the night as they pretent them selves filled with beauty situated at an immense distance from the earth, many of them appearing very small, the cause of which is owing to the disfance from the earth, all of which is compelled to leave the greatest impression upon the minds of all the intelligence that there is an Omnipotent Being whose existence has no beginning, existing in the universe, possess ing unlimited power, and who reigns over his subjects living up on every continent in all the worlds which are in existence in the uni verse. How foolish and unwise it is when you well know the require ments from Him who rebuked Adam for disobedience, and which brought death and destruction up on the children of men, why you do not live nearer the requirements of Him who took Elijah and Enoch to heaven alive, when you are well i nformed what you are required to do in order that you can have suc cess to live with the angels and the purest of the pure, a life everlast ing, recognizing your relatives who have had success in the better world, yea how becoming it is to fear God and to worship Him who "reated all other beings, and as you are told by Christ to lay up your treasure in heaven not on earth, when you well know that at a very early period of time that you will have to go the way of all the earth, and the Son of God tells you how hardly they that haye riches shall enter into the kingdom of God. He tells you it is easier for a lei to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God. He told the rich farmer, who said he would tear down his old buildiugs and put up new buildings in order to Btore up his products so that he might live long and be happy, that this night thy soul shall be requir ed of thee, and then what will be come of your riches. Yea, poor Lazarus begged for the crumbs that fell from the rich man's table; re fused, he died and unto Abraham's bosom he went. The rich man also died and in hell he lifted up his eyes. Yea, if the words within the lids of the new testament be true, what will be, the consequences of those that are vastly rich in this world after they have made their departure. J. R. Williams. Good Roads Train Coming Mocksville. to Washington, D. C June 27 The Southern Railway's special "Road Improvement Train' will enter North Carolina on July 10th and will spend practically a month in the state, the detailed schedule for North Carolina points having been arranged up to August 4th. The Southern Railway is operating this train in co-operation with the United States Office of Pu blic Roads for the purpose of giving impetus to the good roads movement and also to give practical information to county road officials and to farm ers as to the best and most economic al methods of constructing good roads and keeping them in repair with the materials to be found in the various communities. The train's first stop in North Ca rolina will be at Marshall. The train will be in Mocksville, on Thursday, Julv 20th. from 10:18 a. m., to 12:30 p. m. At each stop free lectures and de monstrations will be conducted by two road experts of the United States Department of Agriculture, Messrs. D, H. Winslow and W. N. Fairbanks assisted by a representative of the Land and Industrial Department of the Southern Railway. Two coaches of the train are filled with exhibits, pictures and working models. The Southern Railway is handling this train without charge to the govern ment in order that the people along its lined may have the opportunity to receive tne valuable iniormation as to road building which it affords rvery rarmer ana ousmess man m Davie county should be present on July 20th, and hear the speeches and examine the exhibits and photo graphs. Don't forget the date.Thurs day, July 20th. The Appalachian Exposition. The Southern Railway will make an attractive exhibit showing the agricultural, forest and mineral re sources and manufactured products of the Southeast at the Appalach ian Exposition to be held at Knox ville, Tenn., September 11 to Oc tober 1, 1911. This exhibit will contain handsome displays of cere ais, cotton, tobacco, legumes, vege tables, and fruits and especial at tention will be given to forest pro ducts and manufactured specimens of woods. The exhibit will show in a comprehensive way the possi bilities and advantages of the Southeastern states and should prove a powerful advertisemet for the section as large numbers of vis itors from points outside the South east are expected at the exposition. At the same time the exhibit will serve the very nseful purpose of calling the attention of the people of the South to the great opportu nities which exhist in their own country.' This is a feature which the management of the Southern Railway considers of the highest importance as nothing can have a more powerful effect in discourag ing emigration from the South to less favored sections than a thor ough knowledge of the South and the many reasons which make this the best section of the country in which to live and prosper.

By the guidance of infinite chancel Wheels within wheels, and wheels playing into wheels, in the vast system of hu man circumstances, and all permit ted to move according to their own sweet will; is this the way in which all things work together for good to God's saints? We know it can not be so. There must be a Divine Superintendent directing all, and He can direct only as He knows all things from the beginning to the end. Here is a cause, and yonder, twenty years hence, ss an effect. Unless God sees the relation of the two, how can he touch the keyboard of causes with His finger today, eo as to effect our highest good a score of years in the future? And God works at long range. He is no day laborer, planning only from sunrise to sunset. We believe that our pi ous grandmothers, praying and studying their Bibles in the lonely cottage among the hills, had much to do in shaping our Christian char acters. And when now we pray for success upon our labors we seem to hear the lord saying, ''Before thou callest, I answered and before thou knewest me, I girded thee." And don't believe that God can make all things work together for good to His people unless he begins very far back and looks very far ahead. Spurgeou. Million Dollars Asked for Improved . Public Highways. A bill providing for Federal aid in the construction of improved public highways was introduced by Senator Simmons. The bill carries an apropriation of $100,000 to be expended under the direction of the Secretary of Agriculture in con junction with the Postmaster gene ral for the improvement of roads to be selected by them over which rn ral letter carriers travel. The improvements are to be made for the purpose of ascertaining the amount of improvement and eco nomj which may be brought about there by in the rural postal service. It is provided that the local govern ments in any territory which may be selected shall appropriate for good work in that community and amount equal to what is expended by the government. The Secretary of Agriculture, in his report on how the money has been expended is directed to give his recommen dations as to a plan for Federal co operation with the various states in road improvement. He is also directed to report on the feasibility of a tax on automobiles engaged in interstate travel. Much Honey Dew in the Mountains Boone Democrat. During the dry weather just over here has been the most wonderful amount of honey dew in the moun tains that has been seen here for many years many ot the leaves of the forest beiner literally coated u ms with the sweet,,-. honey-like sub stance. There are different theor ies about the formation of honey dew, one given by Webster being that it is deposited by an insect, but it seems to us if thw 'were the case, the very atmosphere would have been darkened .with them in Watauga for the past few weeks. It has been claimed that bees gath er it and become very licb, but we have been unable to find a man who has ever seen them gathering it. There is a heavy yield of hon ey here this season, but it is at tributed to the immense locust bloom which is, said to furnish a very rich harvest for the tireless little workers.
