Editorial Comment
ft
In what way does the man who
makes a debt and fails to put forth
his best efforts to pay, differ from
the one who breaks through and
steals the same amount of goods?
We fail to see the distinction ex
cept that in. the former case a trust
is violated in addition to taking and
nsing that which rightly belongs to
another.
Read the article from Mr. T.
V. Howell on good roads in this
paper and let us have your ideas
along the same line, As we have
remarked before, this country
must have good roads in order
that other good movement may
travel faster. And in this con
nection it is interesting to note
that the Post Office Department
has recently issued an order mak
ing the continuance of the rural
delivery service contingent on the
condition of the roads traveled by
the established routes. This mat
ter must be attended to. There
is no respect in which the Amer
ican civilization is so deficient as
in good roads, we have the poorest
highways of any civilized country.
Some of the Republican cam
paign speakers have already made
the mistake of charging the
Democrats with abusing them and
their party. Any person who
reads the papers must admit that
the Democrats are waging a clean
campaign and in answer to these
different charges, Editor Julian
of the Salisbury Post files the fol
lowing reply, which makes it
loo.k like the Republicans have
fallen out among themselves:
To begin at the beginning, who
first charged that Judge Taft is
inimical to labor? Samuel Gom
pers, a life-long Republican.
W ho questioned the veracity of
Mr. J. Elwood Cox, for whose
private character the Democratic
press and speakers, have professed
the Highest regard? Walter A.
Hilderbran, editor of the official
organ of the Republican party in
North Carolina, a publication of
which Mr. Cox is a director.
Who charged Judge Adams,
chiarman of the State Republican
committee, with corruption? Not
a Democrat but former Senator
Marion Butler, who but two years
since threw his whole inflence to
Judge Adams' candidacy for the
chairmanship and without whose
aid Adams would have been over
thrown by Spencer Blackburn.
Who declared that Butler lied
and pronounced him an enemy of
the State? Spencer R. Adams,
chariman of the State Republican
committee.
Who in a terrific arraignment
of the scramble by the Republican
leaders of the South for office
said: As long as the Republi
can party in the Southern States
shall represent little save a fac
tional chase for Federal offices, in
which business men and men of
supstance in the community have
no desire to enter, and in the re
sult of which they have no inter
est, we many expect the present
political conditions of the South
to continue." Judge Taft, the
Republican nominee for Presi
dent.
In a sermon a few Sundays ago, J
the pastor, Rev. E. M. Hoyle, of
the Methodist church at Lumber
ton, submitted some pungent re
marks upon the existing political
conditions in Lumberton and
Robeson county. He declared
that petty factions existing in the
town and county were damaging
both in that it kept up so much
strife. He believed that it was
alright to differ on political and
other questions but declared that
selfishness and self-interest should
not enter into these matters and
make men enemies toward each
other. The Robesonian adds this
comment to what the preacher
said:
"Tis true, 'tis pity, and pity
'tis, 'tis true," as he says, that
a man can hardly walk down street
with a friend without being "lined
up"; cannot speak his own private
thoughts without being classed as
a tool of a faction. Of course it
does not matter much what a man
thinks who is small enough to think
that everybody is "lined up" with
one faction or another, and itfpanion.
would be only to laugh if it were
not for the pity of it. Lined
up," "tool of a faction"! God
save the mark! It would be sad
if a man could not find something
bigger to "line up" with than a
ridiculous little. Lumberton fac
tion. Those who are small enough
to think that ought to thank God
continually that the fool-killer, is
a myth. The Robesonian does not
care a cuss about either so-called
faction but it does care about the
peace and prosperity of the town,
and petty little factional fights do
not promote either. There's
I plenty of room for : honest differ
ences of opinion without being
"lined up" in factions. Hang
both factions. If everybody would
get down to his or her knitting
and forget it Lumberton would be
an entirely different town. It is
a consumation devoutly to be
wished."
Advocates Good Roaia.
Editor of The Ansonian:
I am much pleased to see the
growing interest in the good roads
movement in this county.
I have failed to - find a simgle
man who will say that be is not
in favor of better high ways. Now
I am not going to offer any plan
by which they may be improved,
at present at least, if 1 Knew a
plan that every man in the county
would oppose, I might advocate
that in order to arouse the citizens
to action. There are many wise
heads in the county who can inau
gurate a system for their improve
ment if the people will speak out
and let the proper ones know that
they are ready for the work to
begin, and I think to call a con
vention for the purpose of get
ting at the will of the people is the
proper way to start the work.
Good roads are not only profi
table in a financial way but are a
protection to life and property.
Let us have the convention by
all means before tlie next session
of the Legislature meets, so that
our representatives may know
what the people want and thereby
be enabled to act advisedly.
The rural letter carriers in state
convention at Wilmington on
July 4th appointed a committee of
their number, to meet with the
Legislature to urge the impor
tance of good roads through out
the State. Now I would like for
our representative to know before
he goes there what the people of
Anson want so he will feel free to
act when the matter is taken up.
I would like to see the opinions
of numbers of our citizens pub
lished in the county papers.
Very respectfully,
T. V. Howell.

An Editor Gets Tired and Wants to
Quit.
'San ford Express.)
The Henderson Gold Leaf, one
of the oldest and best weekly news
papers in the State, and published
in one of the most prosperous
town in the eastern sectiotT of
North Carolina, is for sale. The
editor of the Gold Leaf, Mr. Thad
R. Manning, in placing his paper
on the market, has this to say:
We offer this paper, outfit and
good will everything and appur
tenances thereto belonging for
sale. Reasons therefor abundant
and satisfactory to ourself.
We have enough not of this
world's goods, but of experience
after 26 years of continuous ser
vice. We are simply tired of the
ceaseless grind and work and wor
ry that distracts if it does not
kill. Life is too short and the
.a. a 1
game is not worth the candle to
us.
"We want to quit to save our
self from being driven to drink
and desperation or forced into an
untimely grave or the lunatic asy
lumeither of which would be
preferable to contending with un
reliable and incompetent help and
perverse d n fools."
The editor of the Gold Leaf, who
is one of . the best of fellows, seems
to have lost his smoothness of
temper when he wrote the above,
but every newspaper publisher
who has had to deal with "unre
liable and incompetent help" knows
how to sympathize with nun. He
is said to be a good business man
and we suspect that is the real
reason why he wishes to quit the
business in which he has been en
gaged for more than a quarter of
a century. For the amount of
money invested and energy put
forth, there is no other business in
this State that pays so little in
dollars and cents as the newspaper
business, and if editors and pub
lishers were not altruists and did
not believe that they were work
ing for the wellfare of others
rather than themselves they would
indeed be driven to desperation.
But Manning will not quit. The
ink has been on his hands too long
to wash off.

The, Independent Parmer
(Frank P. Wood, in Wallace Farmer)
Farming as it is carried on in
our time, compared with the meth
ods in vogue some 20 or 30 years
ago is a science instead of a series
of experiments. It used to be
conducted on a sort of hit and
miss plan, without hope of im
provement or certainty of reward.
Rotation, adoption and variety of
crops, selection and care of seeds,
cultivation, stock raising and
marketing of farm produce were
all attended with more or less
chance and uncertainty.
Nowadays farmers are enabled
to secure at trifling cost treatises
on every conceivable subject con
nected with the art of agriculture
simply by addressing the secretary
of agriculture, subscribing for one
of the many excellent farm jour
nals, and patronizing the .publish
ers of farm help' books. He knows
to a certainty just what crops will
yield him the greatest income,
and in what proportions he can
best cultivate them. He is posted
on the feeding values of grains,
and knows the point at which it
pays to sell his grain rather than
feed it to stock. The fluctuations
in the market for live stock and
grains alone disturb the result of
his reckonings. Here is where
he must go into politics. He
must know just what his repre
sentatives in state and national
legislatures are doing to secure or
insure just and equitable rates of
transportation, and what they are
doing to eliminate the gambling
element from the markets where
he sells his produce. The market
. . a . m
is entitled to protection irom
market gamblers. He is in the
the long run injured by all specu
lation in gram and live stock.
Financial adventurers attempt to
victimize the farmer and seize up
on his produce and manipulate it
whenever possible without regard
to supply and demand in order to
exact from the process an unearn
ed fortune. They spin not, neith
er do they weave; tbey add not
one cent's worth of value to the
wealth of the world; and yet they
command the fruits of toil and the
harvests of diligent farmers and
stock raisers. Government super
vision and control of the markets
should be established.
The farmer has long been con
ceded to be the most independent
man in the country. His business
does not require that he should
conciliate with and cultivate the
good will of the community in
such a manner as to interfere
with his entire freedom of action
and sentiment. He is not in a
position to suffer in a material way
if he neglects to harmonize his
ideas with those of other people in
the community. It is customary
to look to the farmer for the frank
and unbiased opinions on politics,
and that independence which baf
fles boss rule and insures self-
government. It is the farmer
who holds the balance of . power.
and whose strength is such as to
make him an important factor in
the preservation of honest govern
ment.
They possess the sense of intel
lect,, moral stamina and power
which germinate and grow into
national greatness. From the
pure and tranquil country places
will come our future scholars,
statesmen, musicians, artist, sol
diers, and presidents. True
strength of mind and character
require the health-giving farmer.
"The Cotton Plant"
(Henry W. Grady's eloquent tribute to
the cotton plant From an address
delivered by him in Rome, Geor
gia, twenty years ago.)
What a royal plant it is! The
world waits in attendance on its
growth The shower that falls
whispering on its leaves is heard
around the earth. The sun that
shines upon it is tempered by the
prayers of all people. The frost
that chills it, and the dew that
descends from the stars are noted,
and the trespass of a little worm
on its green leaf is more to Eng
land than the advance of the Rus
sian army on her Asian outposts.
It is gold from the instant it puts
forth its tiny shoot. Its fiber is
current in every bank; and when
loosing its fleeces to the sun, it
floats a sunny banner that glorifies
the field of the humble farmer.
That man is marshalled under a
flag that will compel the allegiance
of the world and wring a subsidy
from every nation on earth. It is
the heritage that God gave to this
people forever as their own, when
he arched our skies, established
our mountains, girt' us about with
the ocean, loosed the breezes, tem
pered the sunshine and-measured
the rain. Ours unoV our children's

ever came from His hand to mortal
stewardship.

SUNDAY OCTOBER 4.
Lesson David Brines the Ark
to Jerusalem. 2 Samuel 6:1-12.
Golden Text"Enter into his
gates with thanksgiving and into
his courts with praise. . Psalm
100:4. .
Facts Time -1042 B. C. Place
Gibeonand Jerusalem.
CONNECTING.
The last lesson closed with the
united kingdom and David on the
throne. When the Philistines saw
the rise of David and the rapid
growth of the national spirit they
became alarmed and feared the
overthrow of their power. Two
desperate battles were fought but
David defeats them and they were
driven out of the country. In his
new capital David determines to
set up the old form of worship.
For seventy years the ark has
been at Kirjath-jeanm and the
tabernacle at Nob or Gideon.
LESSON STORY.
David gathers together a chos
en company who should act as an
escort for the ark. They take it
from the house of Abinadab, put
it on the bottom of a cart drawn
by oxen and started to Jerusalem.
Uzzah and Ahio went before the
ark, while the people filled the
road on both sides. making a joy
ful noise to the Lord. When the
ark shook, at a certain point
in the road,. Uzzah tried to
steady it with his hand. For this
impiety he was stricken down and
died immediately. David was
afraid to go with the ark and it
was removed to the home of Obed-
edom. Here the ark remained
for three months and became a
blessing to the house. - Later
David brought the ark to Jerusa
lem. PRACTICAL.
David sought light from every
quarter. He asked the people.
This does not mean that he was
influenced by the last speaker.
That is entirely different. It is
necessary to find out the will of
God concerning our actions and
our place in life. When Napo
leon ceased to counsel with his
generals, the awful defeats began
to come.
David had the sense of some
thing missing. His united people
and the elegant home which had
been built for himself was not
sufficient. The ark had to be
found. A beautiful, home with
all that refinement can bring is
not sufficient, unless there is a
prayer room somewhere in the
house. The heart may be
thoroughly finished, but until
Christ is in it, its powers can never
be developed. s
Carelessness was the rift in the
music 01 the day 01 rejoicing.
Two men failed to carry the ark
in the prescribed manner and the
results soon appeared. In that
rough country the only proper
and feasable way was to carry the
ark with staves as had been com
manded. Carelessness about true!
living not only destroys one's self
but takes the joy out of the lives
of others.
God and his ark were at last in
the city and God and his people
were at last one. The heart must
have the Christ in it as the hope !
of glory before men will realize
that God is in the world. David
seemed to settle the religious ques
tion last, but at last the religious
question the only question for
every man.
IN DAILY LIFE
"The center of worship for
Israel at first was the atabernacle,
and afterward the temple. The
very heart of the tabernacle and
temple was the most holy place,
and the most holy thing in the
most holy place was the ark of
God, and above that was the she-
kinah, or the manifested glory of
God. Within that were the two
tables of the law, the golden pot
of mana, and Aaron's rod that
budded. Very precious things
were these, and with every possi
ble safeguard they were compassed
about that they might be trans
mitted to the remotest posterity.
What the ark aforetime was to
Israel, that the Bible is today to
the church of God. In it are
enshrined the most precious things
of the Christian religion. These
are delivered to us to guard with
pious care, and to handle with
utmost reverence. Long time
had the ark abode in the house of
Abinadab, and it may be that the
children of the family had come
to regard it as nothing more than
an "old box," and hence the heed
less act of Uzzah that cost him his
life. The very commonness of the
Bible in our homes and in our
hands brings with it like tempta
tion." "Judging from what had hap
pened to Uzzah, it looked as if the
ark was dangerous to handle as a
live wire, and yet Obed-edom gave
it a hospitable entertainment.
And the Lord rewarded him for
his courageous piety. Just how
he rewarded him we are not in
formed, but so manifestly did he
do so, that it became a matter of
public notoriety that God - was
blessing the house Obed-edom.
And such is sure to be the exper
ience of any house in which God
is truly and habitually honored.
This means much more than keep
ing a family Bible" too ponder
ous to be usuable, conspicuously
posted on the center table in the
sitting-room. It means a house
in which there is an alter at which
God is reverently worshiped in
a . a V
spirit and in truth, in such a
home there shall be always light,
even as there was in the home of
every Hebrew on Egypt's blackest
night.77
"It seemed to David as if God
inflicted upon Uzzah a punishment
altogether disproportionate to the
offense. The oxen stumbled and
the ark tottered and seemed likely
to fall. The putting forth of his
hand to steady it looked rather
like an act of piety than of pro
fanity. And for a man to be sent
to hell for a mere inadvertence
shocks rudely every sensitive soul.
Now, it ought to be said that it
may not have been a mere inad
venture, but the outcropping of a
character whose denth of irrever
ence God knew and hated. Nor
are we obliged to conclude that
Uzzah was sent to hell any more
than those to whom Paul writes
when he says, "For this cause
many are weak and sickly among
you, and many sleep." That word
sleep" is never applied to those
who perish in their sins, and hence
Paul's teacWnJs3hai because of
misbehavior many even of the
Lord's own people suffered physi
cal disease and death as a warning
to others, just as Moses, because
of his disobedience, was barred
from Canaan, but not from heaven.
And thus, for aught we know, it
may have been with Uzzah. The
Lord, by smiting him, might teach
to all that witnessed it a lesson of j
reverence they would never be
likely to forget."
"It was with great gladness that
the ark was brought up finajly to
Jerusalem. There was the sound
of a trumpet and shouting," and
King David in utter abandonment
of holy joy danced before the Lord
"with all his might". This was
not in the least like a funeral pro
cession, and this was as it ought
to be. The funeral type of reli
gion finds no countenance either
in the Old Testament or the New.
The angel of the annunciation
cried "Behold, I bring you tidings
of great joy." The inaugural mir
acle of Jesus was wrought at a
wedding to enhance its innocent
joy. And in his parting words to
his disciples he said, 'These things
have I spoken unto you, that my
joy might remain in you and that
your joy might be full." Henson.
THE INTERMITTENT TEACHER.
Of course no one would deliber
ately select that kind of teacher,
but this intermittent teacher does,
quite freqnently, get a place in
the school, and must be dealt with
by the superintendent and his as
sitants as an exceedingly difficult
problem. A certain species of
ants, they tell us, is divided into
workers and drones. But the lat
ter look exactly like the former,
and can only be identified by the
fact that they do nothing. So, too,
Sunday school teachers may in
clude workers and shirkers, but it
is pretty hard to tell the shirker
from the one who does his duty
until one sees the results. When
one sees an empty chair at the
head of the clsss every other Sun
day, and finds that pupils are
restless and steadily dropping out
of the class, one by one, you may
recognize the symptoms and know
that either there must be a change'
in the attitude of that teacher or
a change of teachers, or that class
will be lost to the school.
Tbe Successful Firmer of the Future
(Dan bury Reporter.)
The day is coming when the
small farm, the labor-saving ma
chinery, the knowledge of seasons
and soils and rotations, and the
careful but intense cultivation,
shall constitute the equiDment
which will yield handsome returns.
The farmer of the future who shall
win success will be an educated
man. He will know his fields like
the potter knows his clay, and his
mind will be as skilled as the hand
of the artisan who fashions the
vase. He will be able to plan a
campaign upon his plats with the
same precision that Lee planned at
Cold Harbor, and execute it with
the success of Jackson at Antietam.
As the lawyer knows his Code, he
will be acquainted with soils and
strata; and as the practitioner is
drilled in the art of civil proce
dure, he will know the rotations.
He must be familiar with prece
dent, and his evenings shall be
spent by the fireside with the
best books and farm journals, and
experiences of his fellow-soilsmen
in other countries shall be in his
mind always. He must be a stu
dent, but bis knowledge shall not
all come from books. Persons,
experience, experimentation, the
visits to other model farms, and
constant imbibition of new theo
ries these shall make his batteries
invincible.
