These last three named are as honest as the days are long, and the very day their subscription expires they come up and pay their ‘’little dol lar.” In addition to the 4 being preachers and 1 professor, all are Sunday School workers, and they will not pay and we have been compelled to take their names from our mailing list because they would not pay for their paper. Now what do you think of that? Four big greasy negroes standing before their race expound ing the Holy Word and the ones they are talking to are more honest than the big black African with his high collar. We don’t mean to criticize the preaching of the Holy Word, but such folks as these will only win your confidence and then pull you for what there is in it. ~ — ■ -4 » O ♦ fr • — McBride in Jail Cleve McBride, the notori ous blockader who was shot in Yadkin county about two months ago by a posse of Ire dell officers who were attempt ing to arrest him, and who, after being under guard at the home of Jim Hayes in Yadkin for two or three weeks while his wounds healed, finally' gave $500 bond for his appearance at,Iredell Superior Court to answer for blockading, was rearrested a few days ago in Davie county byT Sheriff Sprin kle, of Davie, and Deputy Sheriff Baity, of Iredell, and is now in jail here. The war rant on which he was arrested charges McBride with letail ing and he will likely be given a preliminary hearing ou this charge within the next day or two. McBride would not have been arrested on this charge just now but for the fact that a flaw has been detected in the bond furnished in the other case, and further, lie had stated that he would never come to Statesville.-Statesville Land mark. Gregory Boys Rewarded The Commissioners of Guilford county, at their re cent meeting, ordered a vouch er of $50 to be sent to the Gregory brothers, in Yadkin county, who effected the cap ture of Moses Speaks, the mau charged with double murder. There are other rewards, it is said, which these two brothers will gei. Let us hope that Speaks will get his reward also; but of a different nature for *die brutal aud unprovoked murder of his wife and son-in law. j —Don't forget tlra> box supper Saturday night. Everybody in yited. That Proteaaor A&min Some time ago we printed an article about a certain profess j or who criticized The Ripple, along with the Davie Re*. ord and Elkin Times, for inaccu rate writing. Upon reading this Editor Stroud of the Re cord hands out the following, which is headed “A Smart Professor.” Great-Scot! And to think that the big and mighty pro fessor should include The Davie Record and The {Elkin Times in his list of inaccurate papers. We know that pro fessor, and are sorely tempted to publish his name. Seeing that he lias always been too close-fisted to subscribe for The Record, we wonder what he knows about our paper? Surely he doesn’t sneak around and borrow his neigh bor’s copy so that he may act as high critic, and that with out compensation. We know the professor. Once we tried to enlighten his clouded brain but he preferred darkness to light. We hereby give Editor Rutledge, of The Ripple, full power and authority to eat this professor up in an accu rate manner, and spare him not. Concerning the same con tro\ ersy, The Winston-Salem Journal says: It seems that the professor who censured The Yadkin Ripple, The Elkin Times, and The Davie Recod for inaccu racies in writing is getting his toes stepped on in a thorough ly effective manner. We pub lished the other day the compliment that the Ripple paid this gentleman, and now this week the Record comes back at him. —- ■+♦♦♦» ..

She was 86 years old.—Ex. --- Recently a news item an nounced that the Massachu setts legislature was about to enact a law requiring ell dress skirts to reach at least six inches below the patella.

Bogie students bold that the wearing of black was orig* lnally a disguise aspjpmed as a protec tion from the dead, person’s spirit. The Idea was that tie deceased was , naturally disgusted to find himself ! dead and that be wreaked bis resent* . meat upon his relations. Therefore the relations thought that to alter their appearance would be a means of escape, and all over the world veils were used to hide the faces of mourn ers—a practice still surviving In the Impenetrable veil of the widow. The disguises mourners used—such, as the veil, the turning of the clothes Inside out and the shaving of the heed, ae practiced by thg Ainoe—were sim ple enough, but supernatural beings were always, It appeared, easy to trick. Another theory of mourning was that It was put on to warn people that Its wearers had been contaminated by death. There was an Idea of pollution attached to the great mystery. All j early people shared the horror of death and the fear of the return of the spir its.

Few persons are aware that the shortest route from >8an Francisco to ^apan la by way of Alaska. Nearly a thousand miles are saved to vessels trading with the orient by coasting along the Aleutian Islands rather than following the Hawaiian route. The Aleutian Islands, which extend In a chain east and west for more than a thousand miles, are inhabited by the remnant of the Aleuts. Their war of tbw revolution closed just os the American Revolutionary war be gan. So patriotic were the Aleuts, so brave in their struggle for independ ence, that they succumbed to the Rus sians only after a conflict of nearly fifty years, and then simply because the race rwaa almost exterminated in the struggle. While the Aleutian islands most eventually form an Important link in | the commerce between the United 1 States and the orient, other islands | link our country with the vast empire to the north. In the narrow Bering strait lie two little Islands, one occu pied by Russia, the other by the Unit ed States, so that citizens of the two great nations live on respective islands within a few miles of each other.— New York Press. The Courage of Life. The two rirtues that help us along most In life are trust and courage. Apart from the tragedies Invited by sin and violence and self Indulgence, a large part of our trouble comes from anxiety, distrust, apprehension. It was not all frivolity that dictated the an swer of a young girl who. being urged to prepare herself for a profession or a definite work, responded: “I'm not going to look ahead and worry. I can do a lot of useful things. 1 can mend, and make salad, and nmnse children, and be patient and economical, and help people to enjoy themselves, and 1 don’t believe nice girls starve.” Cour age and faith are always assets. Even If life goes back upon them and falls to come up to expectations the prac tice of these virtues is just that much to the good, and we bare at least not lived in the evil moment until It ar rived.—Harper’s Bazaar. for Peace Only. It la well known that the Friends have always been devoted to the prin ciples of peace. As they had a con trolling Influence In the public affairs of Nantucket, there was no military organization on that Island for several generations. How the matter was managed Is told by the author of “September Days oh Nantucket” Wheuever military companies came to the island for a holiday young wo men thronged the windows and waved handkerchiefs, but there was no rise of military ambition in the town. Once a coterie of Voung men formed a training company and sent to Boston for equipments, but their elders com pelled them to make tjie first article of { their constitution reed, “This company I shall be disbanded Immediately in cash of war.” Her Stipulation. v The pale young mah with sheepish •yes glanced timorously at his fair companion. They had aat together in the conservatory for fully Are minutes and had hardly exchanged a word. At last,'in desperation, he dived his hand Into his breast pocket and brought out his cigarette case, “Do you mind. Miss Smllax. If I smoke?" be asked. “Not In the leftist.” replied the young lady sweetly, ”lf you don’t think it will mafee you sick!” Close Rotations. “Youtadvisp that man's constituents to stand by him?” | “Yep,” replied Fanner Corn tassel, i *T advise ’em to stand by close enough to, watch everything he does.”—Wasb tngtori Star.
