Jives tnat can
never be made up that since they
could not get the liberal education
they wanted they are forever bar
red from getting an eqivalent.
They think that what they them
selves pick up from reading and
will not amount to
much. But as a matter of fact
many of the best educated and
most cultured and efficient men
nd women in the world have nev
er gone to college many of them
have never even gone through a
high school.
It is astonishing how much val
uable information a person can
pick up in his spare moments.
This habit of absorbing knowledge
"the study habit" is the phrase
the correspondence schools have
coined is worth more to a youth
thn a college education without
it;"for the enquiring, hungering
mind is always gathering valuable
information.
I. he ract is, the whole lire can
be made a splendid school. Men,
things, and experiences are the
best teachers in the world. Every
minute of every day we can be
absorbing knowledge, picking up
bits here and there in our spare
moments, keeping our eyes and
ears open. Then, when we are
not busy, we can be working up
this knowledge into higher forms

ton, principal of Marshville High
School, for some punishment the
teacher had inflicted on one of Mr.
T. B. Hamilton's sons. Prof.
Hamilton has brought suit for
damages against the ones who
assaulted him for the sum of
$5000 Messrs. A. M. Stack and

Prof. Hamilton was principal of
the Pee Dee Institute last year

face and eyes, loosening three of
his teeth by a blow in the mouth.

A Disappointing Convention.
There is surely some cause for
grief in the following, taken
from Our Home:
Recently an "old-time fiddlers'
meeting was advertised at V m-
ston and it was announced that no
violinists would be permitted to
take part nobody except fiddlers.
After a report of the meeting
.1 Ml W 1
came out tne otatesvnie land
mark was moved to make these
remarks: While the affair was
advertised as an ' old-time fiddlers'
meet" and positive assurance was
given that violins and violinists,
etude ops. and the like were to be
strictly barred, The Landmak has
a suspicion that it was not a strict
ly old-time affair. The only old
time tunes mentioned in the pro
gramme were "Mississippi Saw
yer" and "Arkansaw Traveler."
Nowhere was there any mention
of "Old-Jimmy Suttentah,;' "Su
gar in the Gourd," "Billy in Low
Ground" or "Old Molly Hair."
Instead they had "Twinkle. Little
Star," "Sweet Sunny South," etc.
These may be a little ancient but
they are not the genuine old
time stuff.
And the Landmark is exactly
right in its criticism. Without
"OJd Jimmy Suttenah," "Old
Molly Hair," "Leather Britches,"
etc. No gathering can properly
be called an old-time tiddlers' con
vention." It looks to us like an
underhanded scheme of the violin
ists to capture the fiddlers' conven
tions, when such tunes as we
mention are left off, and the next
time a fiddlers' convention is pul
led off anywhere in the State we
warn the good old-time fiddlers to
be on the watch-out and not al
low the violinists to capture it.
We hope that Mr. Rube Lem
mond will see to it that the Mon
roe fiddlers' convention is proper
ly guarded and protected from
intrusion by violinists. We don't
want a violinist to even sit as a
spectator.
Great Reduction In Prices
In order to make an important changa in our business in tlie early part

Decision Against The State As To
$30,000 Fine Of Southern
Railway.
The Supreme Court in a deci
sion filed Wednesday arrests the
judgments of Judge Long as to
the $30,000 fine of the Southern
Railway for violating the 2i cent
passenger rate law. The right of
the court to fine or imprison any
railroad official for selling at a
higher rate is denied and it is
held that the Federal courts can
not interfere in criminal prosecu
tions and that in civil suits the
railroad may be mulcted of $500
for each sale. Chief Justice
Clark dissents and says the rail
roads should be fined and intimates
that an extra session of the Legis
lature should be held to make the
act more explicit.

lavished their extensive patronage on mt during the past year
and thus making it so necessary for me to seek larger quarters,'
I am exceedingly grateful. My business has much more than
doubled during the year an4 if small profits on a good grade
of furniture has been the cause, why I mean to make yet a
greater increase during the year 1908,
Now I want to go into my new place with an entirely
new stock, and to do this, I shall be compelled to sell a great
stock of furniture and it during the next month. You'll never
find a better opportunity to furnish your home or to buy a few
pieces of fine furniture and thus set yourself up a little for the
holidays. Come on and see me and be assured that I am truly
grateful for the business you have given me. I feel like every
body has been trading with me during the past year.
