In commenting: on the adoption of the Salisbury-Asheville Highway via Mooresville, The Statesville Land mark congratulates Mooresville on securing the route. The Landmark’s comment follows: There has been some suggestion in other newspapers of a strong rivalry between Mooresville and Statesville on account of the location of the route of the Salisbury-Asheville high way. So far as The Landmark has been able to discover, there has been no rivalry. The truth is, Moores ville had the route laid out and nail ed down before Statesville seeming ly realized that a contest was on. True, The Landmark called attention to the matter some several times, but nobody went to work. Mean time, Mooresville, which had several advantages—in macadam road on the proposed route, in a river bridge, etc., none of which Statesville had to offer—got busy and secured the support of Salisbury, Newton and about all the rest and had the jury fixed long before the issue was sub mitted. After the procession had about passed and was fading into the skyline, a few Statesville people rubbed their eyes, rushed out and gesticulate^and said they would do so and so.' But it was all over, even to the shouting. Talk about rivalry! Statesville didn’t even qualify for the race. So far as The Landmark is personally concerned, if this town was on a so-called national automo bile highway it would prefer having a law passed to make 'the machines run around the town rather than have them come bouncing through here at the rate of 50 to 75 miles the hour, running over everything that doesn’t get out of the way. We have enough of these "devil wagons” as it is, without doing any thing to encourage others to come. But while that is the personal feel of the editor of this paper, he knows there are certain advantages in be ing on the line of these proposed through highways—the chief ad vantage being the good roads—and so he was anxious for Statesville to be on the Salisbury-Asheville line and was willing to whoop it up in a fair show, but seeing that States ville wasn’t in it there was no use to waste time and space and talk. While we wanted the road, we don’t mind saying that the Mooresville folks deserved to win, for they saw what they wanted and got up and got it, and The Landmark herewith extends congratulations. We hope the incident will be profitable to Statesville; that we will get aroused as to the building of roads and bridges and things that will bring trade to Statesville, regardless of an automobile line; and in such event the present loss will not be without1 ita benefits.

We have been having some mighty pretty weather and the people are getting about through picking cot* ton and at the same time are getting a great deal of wheat and oats in the ground, a big crop being sowed. A jolly time was had at the home of Mr. J. F. Mayhew last Tuesday night when he had a corn shucking. About 7 o’clock the crowd began to assemble, there being 47 present. At 1 o’clock they had shucked out 802* bushels of corn. The occasion was said by many to be somewhat like old times. Mr. Mayhew found one stalk of corn that contained two ears which measured 26* inches. Mr. J. S. Blackwelder, of near Mooresville, was a visitor to Mr. and Mrs. Lollie Mayhew last week.

"If I could only know!” What a desire we mortals have to penetrate the mysteries of the fu ture. We are always trying to peer through the veil that thinly inter venes between us and the eternities, seeking to fathom the unknowable. The fortune teller and the palmist find their vocations because of that vain hope. God has hidden the future from mortals vision. And wisely so. But some will say, "If I had only known my dear one was to pass so soon away into the unseen holy I should have had more enjoyment of him and made his days more pleas ant.” Wculd you? With the black cloud of certain bereavement hanging over his head and yours, could you have enjoyed the intervening days? Ask yourself that. Had you known the fatal day you would have been a mourner all the interval. Merciful veil! The limitations of our knowledge save us. If we could read the horo scope of the future we might be ap palled by the revelations. If you could foresee what is to be, either your eagerness to enjoy the coming happiness or your dread of the coming sorrow would sadly unfit you for the sober duties of your everyday life. The secret of the future would put a great unrest in your life. And it might turn your brain With such a tremendous revelation it would be impossible to live your accustomed life. Would you, anxious mother, really like to know the futufi of your baby? uo you say yes; Suppose that vision of the days to come showed a little white coffin? No; what is to be is wisely hidden. If the dread of an uncertainty sometimes makes sore the heart within us, what would be the mon strous dread of a certainty? It is better, much better, to walk by faith. As Whittier rays: I know not where his islands lift' • Their fronded palms in air, I only know I cannot drift Beyond his love and care. —Edwin A. Nye, in Age-Herald. It is Waste of Time. Every girl now longs for a career just as in the old days she longed for coral beads or a beau, says Kate Masterson in writing on “The Girl with a Career,” in the New Idea Woman’s Magazine for December. Lacking talent, girls now call a business life a “career.” This “career” hides in a glorified mist in the distance and calls Alice from her comfortable place by the fire in the Wonderland, which the working life seems to her at this stage, no matter how simple or how sordid may be the task she secs beckoning her. Many of these career-hungry girls accomplish nothing. After a stormy period of push and purpose, more spectacular than real, they fall out of the strife, luckily for them, and either return to the home-nest or marry, which last result seems to satisfy most of them quite as much as the longed-for-business life. The girl who wants a career real ly wishes to be something out of the common, even to be fine and great, but the fact is, a great many of thesegirls are longing for adventure little as they dream that this under lies the "purpose” they fancy pos sesses them. The best proof is that so few of them keep on consistently. The girl with the career microbe will crowd the more experienced woman out in nine cases out of ten, and will then begin her wage-earn ing with all manner of ideas besides industry alone, of the proper way to get on. There are thousands of these girls preening their pompadours from cashiers’ desks and telephone boards in the hotels, all hungry for flirta tion, dress, romance, admiration— everything really but work, which they despise. They may not know themselves to this extent, for they are but girls, and it comes natural to them to love things besides work. Such a girl, for instance, could never be made to understand that her real chance for success and for genuine happiness lies back there in the home or the village she has left. She would certainly be chagrined if she were to be told that in the real business life of a big city she is only a disturbing factor, holding a chance for bread away from women and girls actually dependent on their wages for a livelihood and with no homes waiting to which they may return. _ R HNHM IMIMt, To be mil; nlublt moat show equally good naolta from each member family urine It.

AT BASE OF RURAL PROBLEM. In an absorbing analytical study of the rural and coat of lifting prob lems, made in a speech recently de livered before the Philadelphia Chap ter of the American Institute of Banking, Richard H. Edmonds, edi tor of The Manufacturers’ Record, laid down his premise as to both: There will be no material change until country life is made relatively as attractive as city life; until good roads are almost as universal as good streets; until the high price of farm products make the farm more profit able than industrial development, and thus drive men by economic force back to the country.” Mr. Edmonds cited other contrib uting causes to the cost of living, but the agricultural production phase, and the good roads feature, were among the most pre-eninent. The formula of community growth and development is an extremely fundamental one. First, last and all the time, it is— transportation. The railroad is the great backbone of transportation for state, nation and city. For nation, state and city it is supplemented by streets and good roads. For the country districts, it is exclusively supplemented by good roads. It would be as useless to gridiron Georgia with railroads, and leave off adequate highways, as it would be to centralize every railroad in the south in Atlanta, and leave off streets. ifc The day the rural districts pos sess good roads in a degree equiva lent to that in which the city pos sesses good streets, the country prob lem will be in the dawn of its solu For in the wake of good roads goes every other agency of civiliza tion, development, enlightenment, prosperity, The very first reward for a good highway, maintained the year round, is rural free delivery. And once a commuuity is assured rural free de livery, that factor turns loose its own beneficient harvest, too far reaching and inclusive to be enumer ated. Next comes enhancement of farm values, cheaper and easier access to market, more settlers, moi\* schools, more churches. Beyond all, come those improved and more intimate social opportun ities and relations the lack of which is the very backbone of the isolation and stagnation which in themselves spell the widely discussed "rural problem.” ~~ People were a long time realizing these facts, for the reason that, in their enthusiasm over the marvelous results wrought by the railway, they expected that advance agent of civil ization to carry all the load of de velopment. Understanding of the misconcep tion is now universally prevalent. Place side by side, in a compara tive analysis, two towns and coun ties on the same railroad. Now as sume that one town has provided itself with good streets, and that the county contiguous has followed the example by building good roads. Compare it with the town and county next door which have done neither. Well, you can’t compare them— that’s all. And its for the very sim ple reason that you can find no basis for comparison between success and failure, and their synonyms, initia tive and indifference. So that, from whatever angle you view it, good roads is the bedrock upon which must be builded the solution of the rural problem. Fortunately, Georgia has a fair start in the right direction.—Atlan ta Constitution. Dssfesss Bonnet bn Cared, by local application!, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the tar.

A TRIBUTE OF LOVE, Min Emma Tays passed unto full er life November 3. 1910. Loving friends and relatives were with her till the last and carried her remains to their last resting place at Stony Point. The deceased was born at Liberty Hill, Iredell county, February 25, 1839. At the early age of sixteen, she lost her right lower limb, and for fifty-five years patiently bore her affliction, using a staff and later a crutch. Whom the Lord loveth He chast eneth. Soon after becoming a criple, she lost both father and mother. Thus she was left. But the Odd Fel lows of her neighborhood, realizing that an investment in character and in the proper training of a life for usefulness was safe and sure, sent her to Statesville Female College. Here she applied herself diligently and graduated with honor in the class of 61. During the war she taught in Ca tawba county. At the close of the war she came to south Iredell, and for thirty years taught in the public schools of this county, making her home in the family of the late Mr. J. C. Deaton, of Mooresville. After Mr. Deaton’s death, she lived with his daughter, Mrs. D. M. Brown, at whose home the end peacefully came. With a patience that was pro verbial, a faith that was unfailing, and a love that was an open sesame to all hearts, she toiled. The reward came with her work. The joy of co operating with parents in the mould ing of their children’s character was hers, and lent dignity and usefulness to her life. Uncompanioned all the way, yet many, many rose to love She was one of the charter mem bers of the Mooresville M. E. church, and was deeply interested in every phase of church work. Of her limit ed means she gave generously to the various calls. Sunday after Sunday she met her class in the Sabbath Bchool with a preparation of mind and heart that made her an efficient teacher. But after seventy-one years of service, mind and body lost their vigor. Her work was done and faithfully so. Those who loved her best felt there was hardly an element of sadness in her going. Her staff and crutch are laid aside. Her youth is renewed. We bless the Lord for her life as it was. We bless Him for her life as it is.—Mrs. C. H. Hamilton. For Yon To Judge.

CQoodnuf ft Co. THE SPEED LUST. The automobile has come to stay and to All a needed place ip our transportation facilities. Improve ments are being made all the time, and after a while the price will be such as they can be within the reach of those who cannot now buy them. But there seems to have been born with them a speed lust that is re sponsible for many accidents and uot a few deaths. To illustrate how this speed lust unconsciously affects the owner of machines, a visitor to Raleigh this week says that the most careful man in Raleigh took him to ride in his machine. The chauffeur wished to go fast, but the gentleman said to: “Be careful and do not speed/’ and so they went along at a nice speed. After a while another machine was heard in the rear and the man who said “be careful” had his sporting blood up by the attempt of the man in the rear to pass him, and he said to his chauffeur, “Do not let him pass us.” That was aH the chauffeur wanted, and he let the machine go at a rapid speed so that the machine in the rear could not pass. That illustrates the speed lust that seems to get in the blood of many who run automobiles. It was this speed lust that caused the de plorable accident in Raleigh this week. Writing of it, the Memphis Commericial Appeal says: “Why is it that when a man be comes the owner of an automobile he immediately feels born in his brain a mania for speed? “This is a problem that not one seems to be in a position to satisfac torily solve. it is not necessary to own a car to acquire the lust for speed. It comes unsolicited even to the person who rides for pleasure. “No one seems to fully realize just how fast they are running in a motor car. They are affected the same way on an ordinary train or street car. The very fact that we are moving, propelled by an invisible power, seems to create a desire to quicken the speed. “It is not so bad in ordinary every day use. When men, fully recogniz ing the danger, deliberately place their lives in danger on the sharp turns of the regulation auto courses and speed for prizes until the track is bloodstained, the risk is without j excuse or explanation. “Prize fights have been condemned because they are brutal and blood is spilled. Very few pugilists have ever been killed. Many fights occur every week without fatal result. “Bull fights are Condemned be cause they are cruel. They are cruel. In bull fights the harmless animal is slain because it affords pleasure. The lust for blood is strong with the people of Spain and Mexico. “It is the natural inheritance of a barbaric age. It is the gift of our stone age ancestors, passed down through generations of men. It is concealed by the thin veneer of civil ization, but whenever we are in Spain or Mexico or on the automo bile courses of Palm Beach or Sa vannah, or watch the death-defying achievements of the Vanderbilt cup race, then we realize that our en lightenment is limited. We still per mit the lust for blood, which has passed from generation to genera tion, from the age of savagery to the age of today to assert itself. In the recent Savannah auto races the usual toll of death was exacted. Embedded in bloody mud, one man was dragged from the path of death, but he had paid the price. Another was sent a quivering, shat tered semblance of a man to the hospital to die unconscious that an accident had ever happened. “But the crowd cheered the win ner. It was excited. The lust for blood was in the air, just as it al ways is in the smoke of battle when souls are soaring upward at every exchange of shot and the thirsty earth is drinking up the blood of those who fall.
