What Is a Boy?
"He is a per-on who is going to
carry on what you have started.
"He is to sit right where you are
sitting and attend to those things you
think so important when you are
gone.

you please, but how they will be car

Automobile Tragedies
X r *~— , .
The autorpobilc tragedies are torn
ing so thick and fast that it must
necessarily claim a more serious con
sideration than has hitherto been giv
.en it.. We must learn that death by
carelessness is almost as sad as death
by deliberate killing. We look deep
end long for the man who kills others,
which is proper, yet we permit our
selves, our own people and our best
friends to be killed in careless head
long automobile wrecks.
Nothing yet discovered seems to
give us more joy and pleasure than
the automobile. At the same time,
it is killing and crippling people fast

"Budgeting"
The budget is always bobbing up.'
I
Every time you hear from one of these
modern statesmen, the preface and
postscript is "budget."
It sometimes looks like a polite
way of saying to the people that the
old folks were fools. So far as we
know, there is not a county nor a
city in North Carolina that has not
made its best guess as to its need for
each year as they rolled along, and!
that also assessed their property fori
taxes to meet same. They have, of j
course, made plenty of blunders, but,
when we consider that they had panics
and unforeseen complications which
have upset their guesses (now bud
gets) such tMurs will always hap
pen.
Of course, when we make up a gov-
I
ernmental budget, we are only figur
ing what we need and how we may
be able to meet such needs. And, nat
urally, good business men and wo
men can make better guesses, bet
ter estimates, or even better budgets,
than poor business men or women,
which makes us think, after all, that
what the great board of 'budgetarians'
are attempting to say Is to get bet
ter business folks to look after your
afTairs.
Most of the public debts, of this
country have been made within the
present decade. The land in this coun
try was cleared by our fathers with
tbeir own hands, our roads were
