Folks and Me.
It is a funny thing, but true,
That folks you don’t like don’t like
you.
I don’t know why this should be so.
But just the same I alius know
If am “sour,” friends are few;
If I am friendly, folks are too.
Sometimes I get up in the mom
A-wishin’ I was never born.
And then my family wishes too
That I had gone to some other place
Instead of showin’ them my face.
But let me change my little tune
And sing and smile, then pretty soon
The folks around me sing and smile
(I guess ’twas eatchin’ all the while.)
Yes, ’tis a Tunny thing, but true,
That folks you like will sure like
you.

\ Plea For The Prodigal Girl
| iXhe following poem was sent us
for publication.)
1 have read of the death of martyrs,
! The story of Peter and Paul;
The story of Luther and Calvin,
1 I respect and honor them all.
| And also old Thomas and Stephen,
| Honest and faithful men;
And I’ve read the sweet story of
Jesus
| And expect to read it again.
I
I’ve read of the good Samaritan,
j Of charity’s lesson begun,
And my heart goes out in great pity
i To the wayward, prodigal son.
All are so glad to welcome him,
So quick to forget and forgive;
■ It makes no difference what he has
done,
If he only comes back to live
They have always prayed for the
prodigal boy
Since ever the world begun;
j The joy, the glorious forgiveness
i Of the returning wayward son.
But poet* seem to forget to write
Of Oie saddest thing in the world,
They are not so eager to welcome
back
The poor little prodigal girl
Just why she has turned out crooked,
She happened to find the right one
i Who had the slick tongue of a Judas
And that was your prodigal son.
\ *
| Though he is upheld and forgiven,
it is common all over the world
That you scornful point out for gos
sip
The poor little prodigal girl
There is nothing so truly pathetic
As the life of maidens who fall,
And if you search down to the bot
tom
You will find man the bottom of
! it all.
i But he is lead back in society,
| And nursed with the tenderest care;
Held up to the world as a hero
And mentioned in fervent prayer,
j While she is cast out from her loved
ones,
Out in the hard, cruel world,
! And every one points out and scorns
her,
’1 he poor little prodigal girl
Now as has bien said quite often.
And we'will repeat it again,
That the lowest of fallen women
Are better than some of the men.

RECORD FOR SAFE TRAVEL ,
ON TRAINS OF SOUTHERN
ATLANTA, Ga., May 14.—Figures
just compiled by the safety depart
ment of the Southern Railway Sys
tem show that a high degree of safe
ty for passengers was accomplished
during the year 1922 when the South
ern handled a total of 17,668,805 pas
sengers without a single fatality to
any passenger as the result of an ac
cident to a train or negligence on the
part of the railway.
A total of 177,084 passenger trains
were ^operated during the year and
the average distance traveled by each
passenger was 62.17 miles. Had one
passenger ridden the entire distance
that these passengers were carried, he
would have traveled more than 44,000
times the distance around the earth.
Four passengers were killed as the
result of their own acts in violation
of the safety rules established for
their protection. Of these, two fell
from moving trains, one attempted to
board a moving train and fell under
it, and one jumped through the win
dow of the coach in which he was
riding.
“These figures,” says a statement
issued by the safety department of
the Southern,” sho wthat, while the
Southern has attained a remarkable
degree of efficiency in protecting the
passengers who ride on its trains, no
refinement of protective features can
insure the safety of pei-sons who care
lessly or deliberately violate the
common laws of safety and the rules
which have been established for their
protection.”
Damp Dwellings.
Damp dwellings are undesirable be
cause of the extra hazards introduced
through this condition. For one thing,
damp dwellings are cold. The hazard
from colds, bronchial and lung trou
bles is increased owing to the fact
that the heating is apt to be insuffi
cient—particularly in late spring and
early fall. Dampness gets the better
of human vigilance. The physical re
sistance of those who live under such
conditions is apt to he worn down to
the point that disease germs of one
sort or another find a foothold.
Things go from bad to worse. Sick
ness and deaths follow. The house in
question comes to be regarded, after
a time, as unhealthful.
In the case of many a farm home
nothing further need he done to elimi
nate dampness than to cut out or
trim the trees standing around it.
Particularly in regions where the first
settlers found no trees, have farm
dwellings been fairly smothered, in
some instances, with the dense foliage
of the trees, now mature, which were
planted years ago around the house.
Letting in more sunlight, in many
cases, will not only improve health
conditions, but the physical deprecia
tion of the property will be retarded.
This may be as important in certain
cases as planting more trees in oth
ers. Subsoil drainage may be neces
sary—in case of a wet cellar. A wet
cellar is of considerable menace, indi
rectly, owing to the fact that condi
tions are favorable for mildew, rot,
and mouldy odors. A wet basement
always means a damp house.—Indiana
Farmer’s Guide.
High School and Local History.
The people of Goldsboro are pro
moting a mighty good idea in local
education. It has its beginning in the
High School, where the story of the
town and its government is being told
by interesting citizens, the purpose be
ing to give the younger generation a
clearer understanding on the general
subject of home government and to
awaken in them, as citizens of tomor
row, some appreciation of their future
responsibilities. The talks have had
to do with matters closely related to
city life and development of civic in
terests, and arousing the interest of
the school children in subjects of the
kind, the Goldsboro people are surely
paving the way for better ctizenship.
One of this series of talks was made
by Mr. Lionel Weil, and covering as
it did, the history of Goldsboro from
its pioneer days to the present, giving
in detail the character of the various
changes in city government, was re
garded of sufficient value as to justify
publication in pamphlet form. There
is given a picture of the Goldsboro of
the 70s, with a train of crude pas
senger coaches of the day standing
behind a wood-burning locomotive in
the center of the town, with one side
of the street bare of buildings, and a
block of the type common to country
towns on the other. There is also
given a picture of the site of the lost
town of Waynesborough, on the
Ne«se. near the present site of
Goldsboro.
These studies in town government
and local history are being promoted
jointly by the Goldsboro High School
and Chamber of Commerce, and the
idea developed is one which should
become of common adoption in North
CaYolina towns.—Charlotte Observer.
