The Two Courses
The folks of the country have
formed two lines, both almost alike in
appearance, but remarkably different
in ideals.
One long line is surging to
see how much they can make for an
investment in pleasure and ease.
Among' the many i'ems found in their
long list of desires may be found au
tomobiles, rest, jewelry, travel; in the
•i
main they arc seeking the easy sjde
of life.
The other fellows ar • working to

The General Assembly took to its
bed after ruiUtUtC down hill mile after[
mile. But it wasn't the run that sent
it to its bed; an attack of conscience

the cose has b-eti diagnosed by a tar-,
toonist in one of the State dailies.

And here's what brought about the
troubled conscience: The killing of the
anti-Klan bill, a step "that ■ brings to
the assembly the severest condemns- i
tion and is only approved by the Klan.
The, next invading germ was the de
feat of the Australian ballot. That
t.uch a sustem of voting be brought
about was the hope of all the women's
flubs in North Carolina. Judicial re

sation bill went down. That if is. all

providing a severe penalty for carry

Filibustering

The sixty-ninth CoHffiV'ss went out
of existence la*t Friday night, and its
passing was marked by a filibuster. |
Everybody kicked about it, some sug- j

rules.
It's true tlj«t the filibuster is a
drawback to legislation. Hut it is^

We are showing New Spring Suits
If You See Them You
All that is new and inspiring in new ap
parel for men is now on exhibition in our
first spring* showing. It awaits the ap
proving eye of the man who would be well
dressed at small cost.
There are single-breasted suits; double-breasted suits; suits
for young men or their fathers. Suits in patterns light or dark
—and all in the new season's popular tones. They arc in sites
34 to 46 —so you can be fitted in the suit you like beat—if you
make early selection. (Juulity is A-l —and better than ever.
Every suit all wool and guaranteed. Workmanship is of the
highest—and there arc* no better styles to be found.

WHAT rs SUCCESS?
There are so many books and arti
cles on "Success" that I suppose it
v.-ould be next to impossible to get
them all together. I have road many,
and yet I am somewhat in the dark as
I to the meaning of the N word "success."
I There are about as mariy kinds of suc
cesses as there are types of men, and
there are, without doubt, many differ
ent types of men.
I know of a man who made his
„
money selling booze. He is now in a
different kind of business and he has!
I much wealth and those things that 1
money can boy. His word in the city
jin which he lives means something in'
, the eyes of the world. Is he a sue- 1
; cess? He is investing his mo>ney in'
: his city. Some of the large buildings
I itnd parks are the result of his ef
' I
| forts. But therefrom he receives big
dividends. I know of another in the
same city who is in the shoe repair-
I ing business. He has little money,
| but he has been able to clothe and
I feed his large family and send his
| children through school. One of his
| >ns is the pastor of a church and his
only girl is teaching in the public
schools. He has been able, therefore,
to do something for mankind; to ren
der, through his children, a service to.

My Sunday school teacher once told
[nie that when one is able to look God
in the face and say with an honest
j l'e;irt, "1 daily observe the golden
rule," he is a success. After all, when
one observes the spirit of the "Gold
en Rule" he, of course, pays his debts,
helps -support his'church, his town,

when it is in his power to do so. And
