■KANINS OF TUI FUOLIO LIBRARY.
The library holds an important
place as a moral agent and ranks
next to the home and the school in
moulding the character of the chil
dren. It keeps boys home in the
evening by giving them well-written
stories of adventure and travel.
Entertainment is provided for their
leisure hours and a taste for good
reading is acquired—a taste which
drives out lower tastes. The girls,
likewise, find in the library tales of
fancy and imagination and stories
of great men and noble women
which delight and inspire them to
higher ideals of life. For the house
wife are books oa the care of chil
dren, books on cookery and house
keeping, as well as novels and ro
mances which will transport her to
an ideal realm of love and happiness.
The working man finds not only
"improving” books of history bi
ography and science, hat stirring
tales of adventure, entertaining
books of travel, and good detective
stories—books which will enable
him to put aside for a time the
cares and hardships of his life and
give him relaxation of mind and
nerve—From N. C. Library Bulletin.
Perhaps you say that does not
mean the Mooresville Public Library
since it is so small—but that is the
point. We want you to become in
terested and help so that it will not
remain so small and insignificant.
Again, you may say you do not be
lieve in helping the general publie—
but who constitutes the general pub

OABARRUS MAN MURMREO?
Concord, Jan. 29.—Sidney Barrier
aged 23, a well-known farmer of
Rimerton, this county, was found
lying in the public road, one and a
quarter miles east of Concord, at
about 12:30 tonight with a bullet
hole through his heart. The dis
covery Was made by parties driving
to Concord in a buggy. When
found the man was still breathing,
but was unconscious and died in a
very few moments, making no state
ment whatever. The authorities
were notified of the crime, but at
an early hour this morning have
succeeded in finding no clue to the
assailant. The man had had no
trouble with any one, so far as was
known, and the officers were unable
to even fasten suspicion on any
body.
Barrier was well known in the
county and was well connected. He
was a successful farmer. He was
married last October.

felled the animal, but it did not die,

went on hunting for more dogs.
Later he learned the shot dog was
not dead, went back and finished it

THE FIFTH OOMMANDMKNT.
Upon request of a very estimable
old lady of Mooresville, we publish
the following elaboration on the
Fifth Commandment, which was
written by a Lutheran minister:
In answer to your question the
Lord has given us a perfect rule in
the holy Scriptures, in his covenant
that he made with Israel in Horeb,
saying: “Honour thy father ant
mother, as the Lord thy God hath
commanded thee. Deu. 5; 16. This
command is alike to both parents
and children of all ages, in all places
and in all time.
The Ten Commandments the Lord
had written upon two tables of stone.
The first table teaches us our duty
toward God, and the second table
teaches us our duty toward our
fellowman. The command to honor
father and mother is written at the
head of the second table. Father
and mother are the head of the fam
il8, and their children regardless of
age are to love, obey and honor
them. Christ has given us a per
fect pattern in his life from child
hood until his dyihg hour. We read
in Luke 2:51, that he was subject to
his father and mother. And when
on the cross in the midst of his cruel
suffering, when he saw his mother,
and the disciple standing by, whom
he loved, he saith unto his mother,
Woman, behold thy son! Then saith
he to the disciple. Behold thy moth
er! And from that hour that dis
ciple took her unto his own home.”
St. John 19:26-27. Like the Lord
let us think of mother unto the end,
and like the disciple let the child see
that the mother has a home, and see
to it at once.
The duty of children towards
their parents is also plainly taught
by St. Paul in his epistle to the
Eph. 6:l-2. ‘‘Children obey your
parents in the Lord: for this is right.
Honour thy father and mother;
which is the first commandment
with promise. What is the promise?
That it may be well with thee, and
thou mayest live long on the earth.”
Upon this paternal state, God has
conferred praise above all other
states which are subordinate to him
self, by commanding us not merely
to love, but to honor our parents.
In reference to brothers, sisters, and
neighbors, be commands nothing
higher titan to fc>vw them, «rthaUhe
separates and distinguishes father
mother from all other persons, and
places them next to himself. To
honor is much more sublime than to
love, as it embraces not only love
but modesty, humility, and rever
ence. God does not only require us
to speak kindly and reverence our
parents, but also to conduct and de
mean ourselves, both in our hearts
and in our deportment so that we
hold them in high estimation and
regard them as next to God. We
should honor aud esteem them very
highly.
All children regardless of age,
Btate or condition should be impress
ed with the idea that they should
honor and esteem their parents as
God has commanded; and if the pa
rents be old, poor, weak and peevish,
nevertheless they are your parents
and given of God. They are not
deprived of their honor on account
of their deportment or defeats. The
personal appearance of the parent
however deformed is not to be con
sidered, but the will of God who
thus created and ordered it.
We should esteem our parents
sincerely and worthily as the highest
treasure on earth; we should demean
ourselves towards them modestly in
our words and actions; we should
not approach them in anger, or look
upon them with contempt or dis
dain, but yield to them in their
claims, and keep silence even if they
do not act prudently at all times.
We should manifest this honor in our
conduct, in love we should serve,
assist, and maintain them when
they are old, sick, feeble or in need;
this should be done willingly, with
humility and reverence; done in the
presence of the Lord, who said this
is right. Children who know how
they should esteem their parents in
their hearts, will not let them suf
fer with hunger and want, but will
regard them equal and superior to
themselves, and impart to them ac
cording to their ability and posses
sions. ■

POLITICS OVERSHADOWED.
The editor fcf The Chronicle re
turned last night from a brief trip
to Winston-Salem, through Moores
ville, thence o» the return through
Greensboro, and all along he had to
to "scrouge” Up in his seat and
make room for another passenger.
No sooner wo^ld one pick up his
grip and get off than another would
come in. This hiuch by way of in
dicating the heft, of the passenger
traffic. On thd round trip there
are 44 stops, ahd we suppose we
had a dozen different seat mates. A
few of them did not count much for
intellect, but many of them did. Of
the latter, the dne and all absorbing
question was as to the plans of the
Southern Power Company in the
way of interurban development.
They had read of what Charlotte
had been doing in the way of sub
scribing stock and in the main, they
simply wanted their ideas of the
matter confirmed. In general, their
idea was that in asking for sub
scriptions to stock in this company,
the Dukes were simply wanting to
clinch the moral support of the peo
ple of the section that would be
benefitted by their development.
In each instance we told them that
their surmise was correct. The
Dukes have plenty of money to build
their lines. What other object
would they have in soliciting stock,
except to make the people morally
and financially interested in the
road? As to the probable value of
the stock, the Duke’s guarantee was
behind that. The only question will
be, not if the stuck will be at par,
but how much above that will it go?
For once we made a trip on a train
and did not hear politics mentioned.
There was not eVen a suggestion as
to what might be going on in the
Legislature. Thq interurban devel
opment is the talk now, and well
it should be.—Charlotte Chronicle.

Weakness of Graded Schools.
The average graded school cannot
do thorough work. Some are bet
ter than others but all are poor
enough. There is ample justifica
tion for the cry for the methods of
the “old field” schools in our mod
ern institutions. We have made
progress in almost everything else
except the most important matter
of all—the education of our chil
dren. We have fine equipment to
be sure. That is one of our troubles.
Our equipment is a little too fine or
rather we have come to depend on
it too much. The modern school
man holds up his hands in horror at
the backless bench that was so high
the child’s feet did not touch' the
floor; but that child with that rude
equipment made a sight more prog
ress and mastered the' basic princi
ples of education with a great deal
more thoroughness than the delicate
pupil of today who sits on patent
desks made to fit every curve of the
body in a house built by expert
mechanics with an eye to light, heat
and ventilation exactly adapted to
the needs of the child. Well, what
is the matter anyhow? It is not
with the children, for they are as
bright as their fathers and mothers
were; it is not with the teachers
eitner, ior they are in the n ai 1,
well prepared and capable. In our
judgment the trouble lies in the
crowded condition of our schools.
Children cannot be educated in the
mass. It is a personal and individ
ual proposition. The old field school
was far more efficient than the
modern city school because the old
master, if he was half a teacher,
had ten times the advantage of the
graded -schrol teacher of today. He
could take his own good time, and
look his pupils square in the eye.
He was not rushed. He had no iron
clad course to cover. He could fav
or the fellow who needed a little
push, and hold back those who were
running away. Above all he could
drill—line upon line,, precept upon
precept. The graded school teach
er is an automaton. . So are his or
her pupils. They work by rule,’
The main idea is to cover the ground;
and when it is covered the system
is satisfied but the child has learned
nothing. There is the metallic ring
about the whole business. The ma
chinery overwhelms the bqya and
girls. The question among the chil
dren is not what you have' learned,
but how far have you gone. The
system is ft fault. The teachers and
the children are the same that they
w«*re forty yean ago; but ;they do
not have a chance and they never
lean have until we reduce the size of
| the classes and give each .teacher
twenty children instead of’ sixty.—

INES,
“ Margaret had gone West the
first of the year,” says Amy Rich
ardson in Woman’s Home Compan
ion for February, “and as the feast
of Saint Valentine approached she
wondered what she should send
home to her nearest and dearest in
memory of the day. Her glance
wandered to her photograph-album
on the table. ‘I have it’ she said
as she took snapshot after tnapshot
of herself from the book. Of the
particular good likenesses she had
duplicates made. Then with red and
white crepe paper, lace paper torn
from candy-boxes, thin cardboard,
bits of ribbon, water-color paints,
crayons, library paste, scissors and
some tiny bottles of liquid gold and
silver, she sat herself down to make
valentines.
“Large red cardboard hearts with
a little butterfly bow of red satin
ribbon drawn through the top and a
picture of herself in the center of
the heart, and a valentine wish
printed in gold around it, was the
model for a number of valentines.
“Square, old-fashioned, lace-paper
ones, with tiny red hearts pasted
here and there on the white paper,
with Margaret’s smiling face in the
center was another' style. These
should be made on a foundation of
light-weight cardboard, starting
with a lace-paper frill pasted on the
the edge and working in toward the
center. -
“A cabbage rose of tinted crepe
paper with a Margaret head in the
heart of it; a book-mark of three
pieces of red ribbon with a red and
gilt heart at the end of each and a
snapshot in the middle of the heart;
or a book-mark made from white
Bristol board with a head at the top,
a shower of hearts and arrows past
ed down the center and a valentine
wish; and then some plain corres
pondence-cards with a gold or silver
line drawn around the edge with
her picture in one corner and a lit
lle note or rhyme of love and good
wishes printed in gold letters be
neath—these were some of the sim
ple ideas she used.”
Falls Victim to Thieves.
S W Bends, of Coal City, Ala., has
a justifiable grievance. Two thieves
stole his health for twelve years. They
were a liver and kidney trouble. Then
Dr. King's New Life Pills throttled
them. He’s well now. Unrivaled for

Sure Enough Whioh?
Little four-year-old Robert, like
many other boys of his age, liked to
ask questions. So when the first
downy chicks came in the spring
and his mother saw him studying
them most intently, she knew some
thing was coming. And it did, for
presently he turned to his mother
and asked, “Mama, are chickens’
legs hind legs or front legs?”—M.

WHAT THE KIDNEYS lit
Their Unoeaelng Works Reape Urn
Strong and Healthy.
All the blood, in the body passes
through the kidneys once every
three minutes. The kidneys filter
the blood. They work night and
day. When healthy they remove
about 500 grains of impure matter
daily, when unhealthy some part of
this impure matter is left in the
blood. This brings on mqny diseases
and symptoms—pain ip the back,
headache, nervousness, hot, dry
skin, rheumatism, gout, gravel, dis
orders of the eyesight and hearing,
dizziness, irregular heart, debility,
drowsiness, deposits in the urine,
etc. But if y^u keep the filters
right you will have no trouble with
your kidneys.
in. f. wuson, t>i3 w, Front st.,
Statesville, N. C., says: “‘For some
time I suffered from a pain in the
small of my back and a soreness
across my hips. I was also troubled
by dizzy spells and knew by the un
natural condition of the kidney
secretions that my kidneys needed
attention. I at length procured a
I box of Doan’s Kidney Pills and they
I gave me relief in a short time. In

THE PROBLEM OF THE BOYS.
The following incident may seem
irrelevant, but it will serve to show
one class of homes where ignorance
and shiftlessness predominate and
from which many of oar unfortunate
boys come. It has, however, been
demonstrated repeatedly that boys
from such homes with correct train
ing and proper environments will
make excellent citizens.
A prominent physician in one of
our Texas cities has a wife of un
usual charm and culture. The doc
tor’s wife has a hobby of teaching
and has for years conducted a small
select school. It frequently hap
pens that a youth of promise whose
parents are not able to take advant
age of the opportunities offered in
this school will be enrolled. A
bright little fellow from one of the
homes of the poor had been in at
tendance at the school for some
days, but he had an aversion to soap
and water. The teacher sent him
home repeatedly to make himself
more presentable; finally, in despera-,
tion, the boy was sent home with a
note to his mother which read some
thing like this:
“Mrs. -, I am sending Johnnie ;
home with a request that you give
him a bath, actually he smells bad.”
"Teacher: I am sending my son
to you all to be teeched, not to be
smelt.”
It will be seen from the above in
cident that there are homes whose
influences are not conducive to the
development of a boy along lines
that are calculated to train him for
useful citizenship. Parents are fre
quently and unconsciously instru
ments in developing the delinquency
found in our boys. And when the lit
tle fellow has passed beyond the influ
ence of their homes and has lost re
spect for parental authority to a
point of danger, it becomes obvious
ly necessary for some other influence
to make itself felt in the youth’s life
in order to save him to a life of use
fulness rather than permit him to
develop his inclination to delin
quency.—San Antonio Light and
Gazette.
