THE DAVIE RECORD. C. FRANK STROUD - - Editor. TELEPHONES 51 AND 64. Entered at the Postoffice in Mocks ville, N. C, as Second-class Mail matter. March" 3, 1903. SUBSCRIPTION RATES: ONE YEAR. IN ADVANCE - $ 1 00 SIX MONTHS, IN ADVANCE - $ 50 THRZE MONTHS, IN ADVANCE $ 25 WEDNESDAY, JAN. 28, 1914. We noticed the other day that a farmer dropped dead in Gabarrus county just as he was making pre parations to split some wood. And yet wives will persist in having their husbands split wood. The encouraging news has been spread throughout the land that the price of shoes may go to $10 per pair, as the result of a law to have shoes made under the pure food and drug act. It is to be hoped that warm weather will arrive before the price gets to $10. It is now thought that W. C. Ham mer will land the District Attorney ship within a very short time. Wil liam deserves something at the hands of the Democratic party, for he has done much faithful work and has so far received nothing more than a Solicitor's job for the past ten or fifteen years. The Right Honorable Robert Broad nax Glenn, Esq., of Winston, has been awarded a job as one of the Boundary Commissioners at a yearly salary of $7,500 with nothing to do but to draw his breath and his salary. Which means that Robert is to get his cash back which he spent during the last campaign running around over the West whooping it up for Wilson. than in any other way, and that makes it necessary and important that our press should carry pure, clean and wholesome reading to its patrons, condemning that which is wrong, and upholding at all times that which is right and calculated to promote good morals and produce good citizens. There never was a time in the world's history when as much could be done if we were all imbued with the spirit that perme ates the four lines at the head of this article. To do good and not evil, to push up and not pull down, to build and not destroy, to lead and nnt attemnt to drive, to help and not discourage, are means and meth ods that if put into operation win make the world better and brighter, and very one happier for having a part in bringing it about. Mocksville, Jan. 26, 1914. Boys Suspected of Father's Death. Mt. Airy, N. C., Jan. 17. Charles and Samuel Lawson, aged 20 and 17 years, today were placed under ar rpst. hprfi followinor a coroner s in quiry into the death of their father, William Lawson. a farmer whose body was discovered yesterday in a shallow grave in a field near his home. It developed at the inquest that Lawson disappeared from his residence near here shortly before Christmas. Examination of his . ex humed body showed that he had been shot through the heart. County of ficials claim that Lawson's sons have confessed to killing their father, alleging that they acted in a defense of their mother, whom Lawson was abusing. Hillard Jessop, a relative of the Lawsons, also is held in con nection with Lawson's death. The article in last week's paper, stating that the Register's office paid about $2,000 per year, seems to have been a mistake. Register Moore tells us that the office pays about $1,000 per fy ear; instead of $2:000. We thought from the way the boys scrambled for the job two years ago that it surely paid more than what it does. It is a much sought. after job, even if it doesn't pay but about $1,000. Since The Record went to a dollar a year we have lost some ten of fifteen subscribers, who, no doubt, thought they could not stand the price. Nine times out of ten the ones stopping their paper are the ones whom have been getting the advantage of high priced butter, eggs, grain, etc. We believe most of them will soon realize that they cannot get along without their coun ty paper, even .though it costs them two cents a week. The man who takes and reads his county paper al ways gets along better than the man who tries to get along without it. TRY TO. Do all the good you can, In all the ways you can, To all the people you can, Just as long as you can. Editor Record: With the above four lines as a subject, I am going to make a suggestion to'' you thus early in the year 1914, I have been reading a paper in which those four lines have appeared' at the head of a column weekly for several years and I have not missed a week in reading those lines, and the subject matter following for a long while. To me they contain a sermon that should be preached every day-in the week, and if lived up to, would produce results for good beyond estimation. Think of what a change it would make in this old world if a majority of .the people in it would decide to do all the. good they could, to all the people they could, instead of doing all the people they can. I do not be lieve Mr. Editor, that the same number of words can be found and placed "one after the other that will suggest as much of good as the four lines at the head of this article With these preliminaries I will now proceed to; make the suggestion. Put those words as they are in good type, and place them at the head of a columiron the front page of your paper, and invite your patrons to write something each week during 1914 to go under these lines; some thing that will be appropriate with those lines as a text or subject, and let's see if there are not many in this- tQwn and county who are will injdo allJthe good they can, to as many of tneir fellowmen as "they can. .The press of our country, if properly directed, ean. do as much to elevate the human race as any other instrumentality in existence, for I can say with little fear of con tradiction that more people read the papers and magazines . than go to church; consequently more people can be reached through v the press Sheffield News.

This morning- at 6:30 o'clock a southbound fast freight struck the automobile of Mr. John Maynard, aged 35 years, kill ing him instantly. Mr. Maynard in company with a friend, Mr. Joe Harris, was on his way to his factory and while crossing the railway tracks the engine of his machine went dead and the aucomobile stopped on the track. Just at that moment the headlight of a train'suddenly flashed on the men and both jumped,' Mr. Harris alighting on the side next to the fast approaching train and es caped without a scratch, while Mr. Maynard jumped .on the opposite side and had hardly hit the ground ! until the locomotive struck the ma-1 chine, knocking it against Mr. May nard and mashing him against a : signal post, killing him instantly. The automobile was completely wrecked. ' Two Ways of Looking At It. A few days ago it was announced that material reductions had been made in the price of staple serges, unfinished worsteds, clays, . cheviots and other woolen goods for the fau of 1914 The cut was the direct re sult of the reduction: of the tariff on these goods. When you go to buy your winter clothes next fall, per haps then you will get your first knowledge of what the Democrats meant when they declared that they would reduce the cost of living. Winston-Salem Journal. We also read of 10,000 jobless men in Chicago; that the ladies of Los Angeles, California, are gathering funds to give married men three day's work a week so that they or their families will not starve, and of several thousand knitting mill girls out on a strike in Philadelphia on account of reduced wages, owing to competition of foreign made goods. Yes, we may get cheaper clothing, but if at such a cost, then truly we will realize what the Demo cratic party meant when they de clared that they would reduce the cost of living. -Union Republican.
