Brittian, Secretary TODAY'S POEM Promotion. Promotion comes to him who sticks Unto his work and never klcKs. Who watches neither clock nor sun To tell him when his task is done; ho toils not by a stated chart Defining to a Jot his part. But gladly does a little more Than he's remunerated for. The man in factory or shop Who rises quickly to the top Is he who gives what can't be bought Intelligence and careful thougnt. No one can say just when begins The service that promotion wins. Or when it ends, 'tis not defined By certain hours or any kind Or syBtem that has been devised. Merit can iot be systematized. It is at work when it's at play. It serves each minute of the day; 'Tis always at its post to see New ways of help and use to be. Merit from duty never shirks. Its cardinal virtue is it thinks! Promotion comes to him who tries Not only for a selfish prize. But day by day and year by year Holds his employer's interests dear. Who measures not by what he earns The sum of labor he returns: Nor counts his day of toiling through Till he s done all that he can do. His strength is not of muscle bred. But of the heart, and of the head. The man who would the top attain. Must demonstrate he has a brain. Edgar A. Guest. Mr. McKesson for Wilson. Mr. Charles F. McKesson, of Mor- ganton. a Republican, has decided to support Wilson. In his published announcement Mr. McKesson says: "A Republican for more than 30 years, a Blaine elector in my young er days, proud of the glorious histo ry and wonderful achievements of my party, I have done what I could in an humble way to uphold its prin ciples and its policies. In common with thousands of Republicans I am sorely disappointed in the speaking tour of Hughes. He seems to have entirely lost sight of the dignity and responsibility of the great office iie resigned, and the greater one to which he aspires. No presidential candidate of whom I have any knowl edge ever made so weak, so fruit less, so evasive a campaign as he is making. His speeches are only a 'deluge of vociferous commonplace. At best he is a 'common scold' and has not aroused the least enthusiasm or uttered a single suggestion or constructive statesmanship. If lie ever had any statesmanlike ideas. they are now in a sterile state ot frosty fermentation." IDEAL THEATER BEING REMODELED CLOSED TILL SATURDAY, OCT. 14 Xo. 2o: Running Again After Ijoii Rewt at Edgemont. Ienoir News. C Cth. & N.-W. passenger engine No. 207 is again in service after being marooned at Edgemont since July l.'dh. The engine was run out of Edgemont last Saturday under its own steam.

At that place the tt'tter Lumber Company's engine were coupled on and completed the ncheri ule to Edgemont and back to Morti mer. --Miss Ferrie Rhyne returned Friday from Lenoir where she visit ed Mrs. R. M. Smith. j Dr. and Mrs. V. U Riser and Mr. Hugh Holly, of Reepsville. were among last Friday's visitors to the fair. CALOMEL WHEN BILIOUS? NO! STOP! MAKES YOU SICK AND SALIVATES Make Employes of Public Service Corporations Responsible. AVhat he held to be a feasible and equitable method of preventing strikes on railroads and other public service corporations was recommend ed by Judge Judson C. Clements, of the Inter-State Commerce Commis sion, in an address before the annu al meeting of the National Grain Dealers' Association in Baltimore. Judge Clements, who said he was expressing his personal views and not speaking officially, suggested writing into the law a "legally es tablished obligation and duty upon every employe who seeks and ac cepts service with the transportation companies, not to leave the service or combine with others to do so, on account of any controversy there after arising concerning any change in the conditions or rates of compen sation, except upon due and reason able notice to be prescribed by statue, permitting a sufficient length of time for a fair and impartial in vestigation and determination of the matter in controversy, either by ar bitration or by some duly constituted public tribunal." Judge Clements declared that those who engaged as employes in the public service of transportation companies are just as much engaged in inter-State commerce as are the companies themselves "and that sucti employes are affected in respect thereof, in the same way and to Uie same extent, as are the companies themselves, with a public interest which they can no more ignore than can the transportation companies." League Club's reception to Charles E. Hughes. "How do you do?" said Mr. Taft "How do you do?" Mr. Roosevelt rejoined. Each bowed and Mr. Roosevelt passed on to shake hands with other guests, leaving Mr. Taft to greet those who followed. A few mo ments later Mr. Roosevelt took his place In the receiving line. He stood between Mr. Hughes and Chauncey M. Depew. On the other side of Mr Depew stood Mr. Taft. inus, standing in tne same re ceiving line they shook hands with the hundreds of club members and their guests, who filed past during the evening. They did not meet a gain, however, or exchange any otii er word than the commonplaces of greeting. "We shook hands," Mr. Taft saia afterward, "just like any gentlemen would shake hands." Colonel Koose' velt declined to comment on the meeting. The meeting between Col. Roose velt and Mr. Taft was the first since April 13, 1915, when both were pall bearers at the funeral of Thomas B. Lounsherry. long-time professor of English at Vale University and a close friend of both. On that occas ion they merely shook hands, ex changing no words. SAVED $:(,MMI.
