Says the Washiugton , Post: "A Pennsylvania woman, passing away at 106. is said to have smoTTed her pipe almost to the last." Congressman Webb of this State has introduced an amendment to the Sherman anti-trust law which he believes will put' "teeth in the statute." Stop, yes stop, using your des perate energy to try to pull some body down because they don't suit you, and use the amount of ener gy in helping to build up, and you will feel better. . Wilmington Star says: Why should Senator Overman worry so long as possible opponents are willing to take some other office without tak ing chances in a race that doesn't look good to even the strongest runners? Members of the Masonic and Eas tern Star Fraternities from all sec tions of North Carolina attended on January 12th the formal opening of the Masonic Eastern Star Home, which is located at Pomona, three miles west of Greensboro. Senator Overman has introduced two important bills in the United States Senate. One of the bills would prohibit improperMobbying; The other would refund to the south the unconstitutional tax of sixty five million dollars that was levied during the Civil WTar. North Carolina leaf tobacco mar kets sold 23,852,030 pounds of to bacco during December. It is be lieved now that fully 135,000,000 pounds will be sold this year. It is estimated that the crop of tobac co will round up. fully twenty mil lfon dollars for the tobacco. Commissioner of Agriculture W. A. Graham announces that North Carolina led the whole country for fourth consecutive year in the amount of cotton raised per acre the averages being 259 pounds per acre. These figures are from the agricultural outlook published by -the United States Department of Agriculture. The North Carolina Agricultural Department is prepairing to make it possible to ship through parcel post packages of fertilizer weigh- ing 10, 20 and 50 pounds. This will be accomplished through issu ing State fertilizer tax tags for packages of these weights in addic tion to the regular hundredweight tax tags. Commissioner Graham expects that there will be a large demand for the small parcel post packages. One North Carolina Railroad has been in operation five years with out an accident. This is the record of the Washington & Vandemere, a subsidiary of the Atlantic Coast Line and operating in Beaufottand Pamlico counties. During the half decade that trains have been, run over its 41 miles of track not a sin gle mishap' due to the carelessness of employees has been reported, and the road's record is considered very remarkable by railroad men. What Effort Amounts Too. Much effort is expended daily that amounts to so little that it is of no more consequence than no ef-. -fort at all. Effort is necessary for health, for mental," moral and phy - sical growth, and for results, ' No man can attain" the heights without effort. . The Almighty offers "us all one thing on exactly the same basis Time. For each one of us there are just 60 minutes in the hour. It depends upon ourselyeshow we spend these "precious minutes says a writer. Before beginning anything it is well to make sure that the thing is worth doing. It may not be worth your while. But if it is, try to do it better than you think any one else could. Harness your minutes for work. Make yourself useful. Do ; some thing worthy of your effort and:go about it with enthusiasm" if possi ble. You are yourself ; the archi tect of your own fortune. You are going to work out your own destr-J ny. Your whoje life should be one good effort to get the best out of life for yourself and those you love. The Unchanging Christ. Rev. G F. Sherrill says: The human heart has the same need in all ages of this unchanging Christ. Men commit murder now as did Cain. They lie today as did Anan ias. There are men as covetous as Achan ; as irreverent as Uzzah ; as politic and craven as Pilate; as hard of heart as Nero ; as ready to be tray the Christ for gain as Judas. The needs of the human heart are the same in all ages; and Jesus is the same in His ability and willing ness to meet these needs. He is as ready and able to lift the Mary Magdalenes to a new life; to look in forgiveness upon a penitent Pe ter: to call a Matthew to a fuller life; to give Saul a larger, vision Christ can vet change a son of thimder to an apostle of love. No changing ages or conditions change the Son of Man, no more than .the fleeting clouds change the central sun. Senator Weeks Currency Bill Senator Weeks in speaking of the Currency Bill says, more confidence in business since the passage of the currency bill i& justified, not per haps from a standpoint of the im mediate future, but of the next de cade. We must not expect imme diate results. The changes were arranged to be brought about is gradually as to produce no disturbance. Reserves will not be finally transferred for three -years. The new system is supplementary, not revolutionary. Extent to which it will be used wil depend on needs of a locality. In many localities the borrowing de mand is much less than the re sources of banks and vice versa. , There may be considerable infla tion if the system is not wisely ad ministered. Safeguards against inflation are the gold reserve, ne cessity of depositing against notes commercial paper of standard qual ity and ability of the reserve board of fixing the re-discount rate high enough to attract attention and produce a. modify ing effect on bus iness in the minds of all prudent men.: , "Southward Star of Empire'' Ex-Senator Beverage of Indiana, in an address bathes the feunny Land in a perfect flood of eloquence as follows: Southward the star of empire ought now, to take its way. The future belongs to the South if the men of the South will only have it so. Southtrn farm land, under your rare climate, can yield more for the feeding, and clothing of the world than any like acreage on the earth, and these fertile' fields now give only a small part of the wealth they are meant to give and can be made to give. Southern mines are as, rich in iron, coal and other min erals as any on the globe, and these storehouses of usefulness are as yet almost untouched. Southern water power is greater than than that of New England or the far Northwest and most, of it runs unharnessed to the sea. Southern timber equals the stumpage of that of Russia and the greater part of it is still un used? '' : V ' . -? ? -The place of the South on the' map of the world ought to make it 1 the heart of industry and civiliza tion.: , The greatest sysmpf Wa terways on the globe;, gtfiers into a mighty trunk? line wlif ' pours through the South :tajMni$ its , outl et in the Southern. gulf; This vast and protected sea jis Ian ocean in itself, ffiviner to the ? South trade' advantages - which, if used, would be unrive led.- The great Panama Canal opens the commerce of man kind to the South more than to any other, single part of : the republic. From i Norfolk, Ya ., to Galveston , Texas, the South has a chain of sea- ports, the poorest of which is bet ter than -the best ? German seaport and the best of which is as good as those, of England. V v J ; And the people of the South are s;-feost 'pure descent from the first American stock; Theirs is a fighting blood which counts no cost when standing for what they believe to be right. Theirs is a love for that idealism which alone makes prosperity worth while and which alone can save the -present-day craze-for money getting from rotting the heart of the nation. Theirs, too, is an aptitude for statesmanship and a gift ' for pub- lie thinking coming down frdm fore fathers whose "work in-founding the republic is one of the priceless tra- ditions of the American people, . In Memory of rSji Floyd) On January 3Une death angel visited the home of Mr. and Mrs. R F. Murray, on West College street, and claimed as its victim Mrs. Mary Ann Floyd, in the 83rd year of her age She had been in declining health for the last twelve months although never 'gave -up un til! November, when she was con fined, to her bed and gradually grew worse until the end came. Mrs. Floyd .was known far and wide and many hearts are made sad for truly a good woman has gone to that land from which no traveler re turns, bhe proiessed iaith in Christ in early ilfe and? joined the Baptist church and always attend- ed her church as long as she was able to go. She Was a good woman, always ready to do what she could especially to visit the sick. Many will miss her tender care and words of comfort in the hour of sicknes, and she had done what she coulds therefore let us be reconciled unto God, who has seen fit to take this good woman from our midst. ? Although her children are bowed with grief, yet they weep not as those with out hope, for in that land just over the stars they may some day strike hands with her and sing with the redeemed hosts on high. She leaves behind three children to mourn her 'loss. They are: Mrs. R. F. Murray, of Oxford; Tom Floyd, of Henderson; A. B. Floyd, of Greensboro. Besides there are a lot of grandchildren. vThe remains were laid to rest oh Monday the 5th in Elmwood ceme tery amid a large congregation of sorrowing friends and relatives. Upchurch & Currin were in charge. If all she had helped and comforted,; Should on her grave a flower place, -?? V " ' '- 'Twould be a garland more lovely, Than any painter's hand could trace. ? ; ' : " ,?". MRS. SHELBY GREEN? Death of Wilma Watkihs ' Died Monday evening at the home of her parent?, Mr.. 'and Mrs. J. N. Watkins, of Cornwall section, little Wilma age one year and seven months. She was an un usually pretty and attractive baby and a great favorite with all who knew her. Being so much younger than her brothers and sisters, she was made a great pet of by the en tire family, who miss her pretty baby ways more than one can realize. Dear little Wilma is now safe in the, arms of Jesus, who said, "Suff er .the little children to come unto me, for of such is the Kingdom of Heaven . " A FRI END .
