Are Hate and Money All That
We Owe OtheraT 1 V
Hate is in some respects like the
money debt, bears Interest and often
compound interest, at times difficult
to collect, some tims never collected,
"hut .is rarely barred by the statute of
limitations. But it differs frojp the
money debt in a material particular,
in that when the money debtor dies
utterly unable to payK the chances to
collect the debt are buried with the
debtor in the grave; but not so with
hate. God declared, I will visit the
sins of the fathers upon the children
unto the third and fourth genera
tions t man assumes the authority and
power of God, and visits the sins of

. THE TEACHER'S REWARD.
Young women whoenter the teach
ing profession are sometimes regard
ed as doing a foolish thing from the
ir.onye point of view.
The teacher has not fared as well
in the readjustment of wages as the
factory worker. But the teacher en
i . ys a position of exception respect
in the community. : This is not mere
ly pleasant .from the social point of
v.cw, but it enables a gin to mane
exceedingly valuable friends.
The teachers who desire to marry
r..uu.Py win . the favor of the finest
t:pe of men. Not necessarily the
v.en with the most money, but they
i.ually make comfortable and happy
inarriagea. Those who don't marry
u uaEy could do so, only their stand
ards are too high.
A good teacher can be sure of
w.rk in any section. She has a long
vacation in which to recuperate and
many use the. period to make addi
tional earnings. , There are many aol
d advantages in the profession.
Those who look only at the imme
diate money returns do not make a
wise judgment,

PSYCHOLOGY OF ADVERTISING
Some men are born advertisers and
tome are bora non-advertisers. The
first clasa no doubt hollered well in
their cradles, and have been at it
ever since. But they learned at an
early stage of the game that it is no
Use hollering unless you have the real
atuif behind it - ' " ,
The non-advertisers are all good
fellows. But it fcaa never been re
ported that the violet was elected as
queen of the flowers.
. People .rho have a strongly com-j
petitive spirit, who are confident in
their ability to give exceptional ser
vice, are almost Invariably good ad
vertisers. j.
TJiey are never satisfied to sit
down in a business and take what
comet to them without effort; They
reach out and try to win leading
position by superior merit.
j The Southerner, desiring to do
justice to the splendid business firms
of Tarboro, whose . announcements
fill its advertising columns, will soon
present a aeriea of tabloid editorials
on- "The psychology of advertising."
It will set forth some convincing
reasons why you can depend upon
the merchants whose advertisements
appear in this newspaper, to give
the best possible service to the public.

the father upon his children unto the
first generation, and if e' lives long
enough unto the . second generation,
and God only knowsjiow much far
ther'he would go if he could live long
enough, It is passing strange, how aj
person will hate another because of
the hatred that he cherished for-Jris
father, and this person often times;
not. only does not know, and often
has never heard of his hater.
"Vengeance is mine: I will repay,
saith the Lord." '-"
Qh, the suffering brought on hu
manity; when man undertook to re
lieve God of the job, ''
"If I can catch him once on the hip
I will feed fat the ancient grudge I
bear him."
If all the haters could wreak their
vengeance to their full satisfaction,
we would have an amazing most in
teresting and lively hell in Edge
combe county; we would be fearfully
shocked and woefully hurt to real
ize the many enemies that we have,
whom we had not the least cause to
suspect, , ' There are two general
sources from which hate arises; the
most, prolific is envy, the vilest and
meanest of all human traits save that
of treachery ; the other where a per
son suspects some one is opposing or
interfering with his purpose or pro
ject. And this is unfortunately true,-
ther v the suspicion be without
cause and. utterly, unfounded; or the
opposition be righteous and entirely
justified. .
And this is why we cannot have a
fine community; spirit and .pull to
gether for the advancement and bet
terment of all' the people. We owe a
duty of tolerance and help to one an
other, Jnd if we persist in neglecting
it, we can never be a high class
Christian community, an honor ti
ourselves and our county. Those of
us who have had . more oppor :nity
and advantage to inform and -broad
en ourselves, 'owe an absolute duty
to those less fortunate, to hold a
high example, and give kindly con
sideration and aid to them, when
ever and wherever we can. To sue
cessfully do this, we must . restrain
ourselves in ' any disposition to be

people of thxe county are full worthy
of all the effort that we can per
suade ourselves to make; and I feel
that some of us will sincerely try. So
there is very much more than owing

hate, so far known that is fully justi
