DON'T THROW AWAY YOUR MONEY.
Many thousands of dollars will
come into this section this fall
from the sale of tobacco, cotton
and other farm products. Far
mers are learning to make more 1
per acre each year, and as prices
are better much more money is
handled than formerly. These '
conditions make times better for '
all our people, for it is impossible 1
to make much money among a !
people who never have any for
themselves.
The next beet thing to making
money is to take care of it. This,
many of us have not yet learned
to do. When we get it, instead ,
of keeping it, our fingers and
pockets seem to burn until we '
have parted with all of it. It is
surprising to see how readily
many farmers spend their money
and how helpless they become
when it is gone.
Don't throw away your money
trading. Some people seem to
think that as soon as tbey get
a little money they should be
come speculators and be ready
to set themselves up as traders
on anything which comes along.
The right rule is to buy only
such things as are actually
needed, and see to it that the
prices paid are reasonable prices.
Part of the money should be
saved for purchases during the
spring and summer months.
Don't throw away your money
for alcoholic liquors. If spent
this way it is worse thau wasted.
Besides taking the money these
liquors iujure instead of beuefit.
Think of the young man who
works hard to make money and
then spends it for strong drink
to injure himself aud others.
Such a course prevents many
young men from getting married,
from getting good positions and
from making a good start in life.
It is too bad to be debarred
from society, from paying posi
tions ami frcui success on ac
count of liquor drinking. Think
of a farmer working hard aud
working his children like they
were slaves to make money to be
spent for drink when it should
go for the improvement of the
home aud the education of the
children, aud other things that
go to make life better and hap
pier. There are now in.Johnston
cider aud wine stands, blockade
distilleries, blind tigers and a
dispensary which are so many
money traps for the cash which
is coming into the hands of the
people. Will they part with their
hard earned money for strong
drink? We hope not.
There are six towns in the
county which have banks. Why
not start a bank account and
keep the money where it will be
safe? We want to see the far
mers reach a point where they
will not have to make a mort
gage every winter for supplies
during spring and summer. We
hope they will take care of their
money and thus avoid the mort
gage.
In another column in this paper
will be found a well-written trib
ute toourcountyman, Mr. Ashley
Home. This was written by one
of the best women of the county,
one who knows Mr. Home well.
In her words of commendation,
she but voices the sentient of
hundreds of others of the wivet
and mothers and daughters of1
the county. While they cannoT '
vote their silent influence hac
had a telling effect on many a
hard-fought campaign.
Alany hearts in North Carolina
have sympathized with Senator
and Mrs. 8. M. Beasley in the long
of their little boy, Kenneth, wiio
disappeared bo mysteriously from
their borne in Currituck county
February l.'ltb, 1905. Nothing
has ever been heard of the boy
since. Soon after hie disappear
ance suspicion rested on Joshua
Harrison as the kidnape-. The
court found him guilty, and he
was sentenced to serve 20 years
in the penitentiary. An appeal
was taken to the Supreme Court
which affirmed the lower court.
And then the final chapter in the
tragic affair closed with Harrison
putting a bullet in his brain.
Bather than serve his sentence he
preferred to stand before the
tlreat Judge and receive a just
sentence and from which no ap
peal can be taken. Whether on
not Harrison was guilty of the
::rime which he was charged will j
perhaps never be known, but
many believe in his guilt. The
whole affair is one of the saddest;
in our State's history, and many, j
many yeats will pass before it is
forgotten.
His many friends throughout
the county and district will learn j
with much pleasure that Con
gressman E. W. I'ou has re
turned home completely restored i
to health. 1 le is, asis already well,
known, a candidate to succeed I
himself in Congress. Strong as-1
surances of active support are
coining to him from every sec
tion of the district. The people
say this is no time to change our
Representative in Congress.
The Wyatt Chapter of the
Daughters of the Confederacy at
Selma are engaged in a commend
atory undertaking and it is
earnestly hoped that they may
succeed in raising the necessary
amount for the Wyatt monument
early enough for the unveiling to
take place next June. Next Wed
nesday they are to have an Edu
cational Rally at Selma and the
friends of education are urged to
attend.
The reports from the colleges
show larger attendance at the
openings than ev#r before. Al
most every college is full and new
students continue to enter. This
is as it should be and means much
for the future success and develop
ment of the Old North State.
The Women Are For Home.
(t O.MMI MI ATBD.)
The women of the graud old
State are, and ever have been,
content to trust to their hue
bainle and sons the divine right
of suffrage; have ever felt proud
of the privilege of teaching these
sons to love strength, morality
and purity of character; setting
before them lofty ideals of man
hood aud citizenship; pointing
them proudly to the names and
characters of the grand men, who
have so marvelously guided the
helm of the State. While hus
bands and sons have joyously
proclaimed the victory of ballots,
that has given us Vance, Jarvis,
and Glenn, her heart, with glow
ing enthusiasm, burned within,
for might not she also claim a
share in the victory? Must it
then seem presumptuous if a wife
and mother, with the weal of the
Old North State at heart, express
her appreciation of the rare vir
tues and extreme fitness of our
beloved citizen, Hon. Ashley
Home, for the exalted position
of Governor of our fair Common
wealth? Having been a life-long
resident of the same good county
that has giveu him to us, and an
interested observer of men and
events, enjoying a personal ac
quaintances with this mnu in his
home life, thus gaining a knowl
edge of his broad capacity, of his
goodness of heart and nobility of
character, manifested in his deal
ings with his fellow man, all lead
us to hope that lie may receive
from the staunch sons of De
mocracy the" nomination as the
worthy successor of our great
R. B. Glenn.
