C, as Second-class Mail matter. March 3. 1903. TERMS OF SUBSCRIPTION: One Year, in Advance 50c Six Months, in Advance 25c WEDNESDAY. FEBRUARY 28. '12 The Winston Journal is always frlad of an excuse to throw off Qn Charlotte. Seme of these times when Deacon Hemphill finishes up Bryan and Wilson, he will take a journey to Winston and wipe Editor Gunter off the earth. ' Mocks v ill e needs a cotton mill, and a cbttfcn mill needs Mocksviile. Labor fuel" and land can be had at reason able prices, our climate is healthy, our water good, our people clever. Other towns are securing cotton mills. Why not get one for Mocks viile. . All money looks alike to us, it makes no difference who turns it into our office Democrat, Republic an or Socialist for - a dollar only buys so much of anything. There are a few narrow-minded people a round here who are afraid to patro nize a person, firm or corporation that differs with them in politics or religion. Such people don't deserve io succeed in life, and they won't. Our paper is published for the ben efit to our subscribers and the up building of Mocksviile and Davie county. Our columns are open to any one who cares to use them for i furthering along the good work. The paper is Republican in politics, but the first consideration is news. Talking politics has never fed a hungry man, and never will. The country needs more religion and less politics, and everybody would be better off. Only a limited amount of space can be had in our paper to air the views of any politician of any party. What we want is articles on good roads, news items, and ex periences of farmers in raising crops, grains, stock, poultry, etc. A little political soup helps to brighten a paper, but too much of it spoils the broth. A SHAME. Some time ago Chas. W. Morse, teNew York bank defaulter, who was serving a long term in the Fed eral prison at Atlanta, was reported as. being sick, unto death, suffering from at least half a dozen fatal dis eases. It was said he could not re cover, and great efforts were made to have the President pardon him, that he might return home to die. If we mistake not, many newspapers throughout the country jumped on Mr Taft and blessed him out for not issuing an immediate pardon. Finally the President "did pardon Morse, and he returned home, but not to die. No, indeed. He stopped at home long enough to take a bath, c hange clothes, shave, and to help the folks celebrate his joyful home coming. Instead of dying, . he has disappeared from this country, and is traveling in foreign parts, enjoy ing himself to the fullest. Some body has been buncoed. About four years ago one James Lang was tried in Mocksviile for bank robbery and sentenced to five years' in the State penitentiary, A year ago or more it was reported that Lang was nearly dead with con sumption, and could not recover. A pardon was asked for him. Much sympathy was expressed for him, and a petition was circulated hare. Many people signed it, the editor along with the rest. The Governor finally pardoned him Did Lang go home to die? Not much, he didn't. He went to New York State, and two weeks ago tried to rob another bank. Today he is serving a nine year sentence in Sing-Sing prison. Another case of somebody being buncoed. Somebody is to blame. A fellow once remarked that tne American people loved to be oun coed. He told the truth. There are - a few cases where pardons should 1 e granted , but ; not : many. Every case should be thoroughly investiga ted before any pardon is granted. Lawyers and doctors are not always infallible . . Someone is to blame.- r.- Q. Fr. Greene, of Canada, is spend ing some time in this city, looking after his father's prooerty and dis posing of same. Air Ure-n s n iw.ds, are glad to see hitn look ing so well. : Items From Dulins. The ground hog certainly must have seen his shadow. Mr. H. L.

Sheets who has been fft. the bedside of her mother, came ' home last week. We are glad to learn that Mrs. Haneline is very much improved. As Mr. Sheets is so absent of the brain since his serious spell of grunting when his wife returned we suppose he forgot it was winter for he got his old straw hat and went around crowing like a spring rooster. We heard that he was in Mocks viile Saturday crowing and strutting. We Gossips don't know whether he wore his straw hat or not. Mr. W. F Steward is still wearing' his coat and hat turned wrong side out and walking the hilis looking for his cap and keys. We enjoyed the letter of our friend, Mr. E. L. Davis, of Florida, very much, hope he will write again. We think that Ed. Jr., learned the art of fly catching from his unclh Ed.

Ona night I and a girl were sitting so happy when her ranther hpard th P.nw hell coming. She howled out to the girl to go and turn the cows in or they would be in the corn be fore day. We went side by side, the girl opened the gate nnd one cow made for me. I ran around the girl, and she hol lowed "You, Sam." She didn't have any thing to keep it off of me but the gate peg, so I at out down through the orchard the cow after me, the girl after the tow with her gate peg hollowing. "You, Sam." I made a dash for the honse, the door was shut and I rolled under the porch. The girl and the dog got it away. The dog liked me. The girl put the cow up and I came out all dirty and scared. We went and shut the gate and I told her I never would come again if they kept that cow. She said it was iust Dlaying with me. She took. hold of my hand and then I felt all right.
