On the other hand I know a number of men who smoke like an engine and chew like an ox who own more than $1 5,000 of this world's chattels. I also know a lot of fellows who do not smoke or chew, aud so far as I know, do not have any bad habits, who are not worth a darn. "A man's a man for a' that." Good butter today may be ob tained in Monroe, Marshville" and Wingate at 20 cents a pound. But listen to what John Paul Lucas Governor 3Iorrison's appointee, to save the State, savs: 'North Carolina imported last year dairy products of a valuable equalizing the value of the products of the dairy industry in the State for the same year. But even at that tens of North Carolina tarm families, to say nothing of families w town, did not consume any wh le roilkand used very little butter, dieese and condensed milk. ' ' 1 Lucas then quotes Dr. Dr. W. ?- Hankin, of the State Board of Health, as saying. "You cannot w a man without milk. According: to thps lrlin' Ho-1-ii- Body of Son Remains Unburied. There is nation-wdde interest in the unussal announcement than an Iredell county man, John Speaks, has refused to accept $5,000 insur ance which the government has of fered and is ready to pay on' the the life of his son, Thomas Speaks, who was killed in overseas service during the. World war. Another peculiarity about this citizen is that he refuses to bury the body of his son. The remains of Thomas Speaks arrived in States ville in August, 1921, and were im mediately taken to the home of his parents near Jennings postoffice, a bout 22 miles north of Statesville. In September following, die writ er made a special visit to the Speaks home and found the casket of the dead soldier boy resting on two chairs in the best room in the blouse. Mr. Speak stated that he did hot want to bury his boy and would not do so unless he was 'forced to do so by law, adding that he meant to build a little house nearby in which to keep the body until his own death aud then he wanted the remains of his boy be placed beside his own. Latest reports indicate that the young soldier's body still rested undisturbed in the home of his parents, eight months after its arrival. ' , Another peculiary about Mrs. Speaks is that he reads his Bible regurarly and claims to be deeply religious, still he is at varance with the churches and will not attend a church or Sunday school and not permit a member of his family to attend public religious services of any kind. Local authorities would have for ced Speaks to bury the body of his son if it had been shown to be tin sanitary, but the remains have been reduced to a skeleton and the coun ty health officials could not say that it was dangerous to the health of the family, and therefore were pow erless to enforce burial. More Cowardly Than Bootlegger. To gratify his taste for liquor; to have one drink; to be abie to treat his friends; to boast that he can get s)me things others can hot hav.e; the r ch man virtually says to the boot legger: "Bring me some whiskev la bringing it to me you may rind it necessary to kill some officer; to steal an automobile; to bribe some officials to wreck some lives and risk your own; to help throw the Constitution of the country into contempt; but for this"I will pay your price, whatever 't may may be " The bootlegger goes forth and dose some, or all of Yc ur Plain Duiy. ' Every American citizen, native born or naturalized, owes a solemn duty to this country. That duty is to vote for the very best men for public office, without regard to the ties of friendship or other consider ation. It is possible that a consi leration. discoarge of this duty may require that a person vote against a warm personal friend in order to in stall in office a man who better to perform the duties of the position.

' New-Laid Egg The batchelor had brought two new laid eggs for the next morn ing's breakfast, and when he got back home with them he noticed s me writing on Jhe shell of one of them. Of course, he read what the thing had to say. It ran like this: "I am a farmer's daughter, 17 years of age, blond hair and brown eves, height and weight just about right, and complexion the same. If this should meet the eye of some young man who desires to wed a merry but industrious county girl, let him communicate with ' ' . and then followed the merry country girl's name and address. ,.Well, the young man was so pleased that he rushed, off and tele graphed to the girl. He got her hanswer next morning. She wired: Vou are too late. Was married m six years aS' and am now tne mother of five." London Opinion. A Grand Jury "Address. The grand jury, setting in Pas quotank county, recently gave ad vice as follaws: "If mothers will look after their Elapper daughters ani see that they are most modest ly dressed, these girls will not be subjected to rude remarks from the male apes who assemble on street corners to watch the afternoon - pa rade of silk hosiery." Bankers of Miami, .Fla., are ac cused of backing a mammoth whis key ring. As a rule, bankers know where to place money so as to re ceive the greatest returns on the in vestment.

Everyone looks to the law to pro tect life and property. The parton of the bootlegger is helping to under mine this law which stands between his children and murderer's; between his money and theiver; between him self and anarchv. He is helping to build up a criminal organization which may not stop at breaking one law but may try to violate other laws. The buyers of bootleggers' booze can not escape this responsi bility. To the prohibition law is as much the law of the land as is the law a gainst murder or theft. If it is dis tasteful to you that is no excuse for your breaking it or encouraging others to break it. Every good,- solid citizen who buys bootleggers booze forms a part of a criminal or ganization just a business of running booze into the countiy himself. As a matter of fact, he is more coward ly and despi?able than the booze runner. The latter takes the risk and a sporting chance. The boi ze buj er hiding behind the respectabili ty which wealth and position give him, takes no risk, out v ith his mon ey encourages others in doing so Times-Mercury. Lexington to New York and Back to Lexington. Putting a Ne.v York label on a thing is something a great piece of j "bunkum," but it ofteu works magic with the buj-ers,. whether he be merchants or the person who buys at retail from the merchant. Many instances have been found in North Carolina where product following the course which he deems to be right and just, for the ties of country are greater than those of friendship or at least they should be. Many otherwise good citizens feel that if they are busy on esection day that fact should .be sufficient excuse for refraining from voting. But they are mistaken. They are setting a bad examble to the rising generation. They are strong for. the inalienable rights of citizen ship, yet weak in the discharge of one of the most sacred duties that developed upon a citizens. They are good citizens except in the matter of voting. In that they are not good. Their indifference hurts not only thejm, but their country as well. t.. What A Democrat Says. According to the keynote speech of Mr. Poul and the platform de livered at Raleigh the other day, theo-called democracv, so sure of s at the polls in November suq and rejoicing in their prodigality it is proposed to get out the old steam roller, and heedless of tl-.e cry ot the people for relief from burden some taxes, fadism, etc, to scamper through the campaign like a bull calf in a china shop. This kind of a program may be all right for the righteous in an attack on sinners, but for the sinners thus to run over the righteous reminds us more of a Lenine and Trotsky affair than any thing else we can think of just now.

The same young woman who turns on the porch light, before marriage, so that her "sweetie" won't slip and fall, turns off the hall light after marriage, to see if he will stumble on the stairs. We often wonder why candidates can't act like normal beings, or at least just as they do before they ac quire an itch for office. A man pur suing his daily avocations will pass you a thousand times' with but a friendly nod and a cheerful smile and sometimes with a grouch. But the minute, he get the "itch,' he falls all over himself in his efforts to pump your pav and impress you 1 with his great love tor mandkinfi in his effort to pump your paw and impress you with his great love for mankind in general and yourself in particular. Of couse we must cn- cede that candidates are human, but when the itch begins to work they overdo the part. , Wisdom for Wives. A wise old minister, before pait ing witji a young couple he had .lined in matrimony, used to slip a ard into the bride's hand on which vas printed this advie: "When ,-cu marry him love him. After .ou marry him study him. If he s generous appreciate him. When ic is sad cheer him. When he is iuarrelsome ignore him. If he is othful spur 1 i n. If he is noble rai.'.:e him.

Reports of damage to the fruit :rop by frost Sunday morning indi cate a loss of several thousand bushels of appksin this immediate territory, md while a number of the larger or chards reported no damage several reported a complete loss of the crop. Agricultural and horticultural a gents did not receive any accurate loss but will make efforts today to ascertain the damage to this year's crop. On account of the day being Sunday no trip into the country were made bv the State or county officials. The hope was entertained by Ashe ville men who have orchards invest ments that the damage maybe con fined to those tress in the lower sec tions or pockets where the wind was of no avail in c6uhferarcfTn the frost; Last year's crop of apples io this sec tion was a total loss on. account of the late sold weather and should this year's crop be destroyed the loss will be keenly felt.
