' The people of this' favored mountain section of North Car clina should feel duljr grateful that their lots are cast in the favored region. Copious, rains ' have visited nearly all parts of : "Western North Carolina recent ly, -breaking a spell of dry weather that has wrought much -injury to crops in other sections cf the state. While some towns and communities of the state are, rtrat enrol tr ctrilron hv lnrlr nf rain and threatened shortage of eyea water to drink, this part of Ihe country has been most 'bountifully blessed with show ers. . The bold attempt of , the young inan to rob the Lenoir "Chair Manufacturing Company t,-. ... - of its payroll last ween, was mjuif.Liiiiiu euiiiimv uew nu bum vicinity. We often read of masked bandiw noiding up 'trains, stages, stores and banks In otheif sections of the country, but to have such a proceeding fight here in quiet, little law abiding Lenoir, is, to say the least, startling. One wonders how the thought was suggested to the mind of a young country lad. Was it engendered by wit nessing such scenes portrayed in the motion picture shows or by reading cheap sensational magazines and papers that are filled Wth such incidents and crimes.- Viewed Irom whatev er standpoint one cares to con- i sider it; the dastardly attempt , at robbery and murder affords food for serious thought. Le .noir is no longer the quiet coun ' try villafge it was a few years ago, when persons could safely lie down to sleep at night leav ing the doors and windows un fastened. There is something badly "out of joint" in the training, or lack of training, of the young men of the communi ty," when we produce such char- acters as the one who attempted ' the hold-UD last week. This senseless tirade against corporations by designing dema gogues and peanut politicians has gone on so long here in .. North Carolina, the people have .seemingly , lost sight of the fact that corporations have done most of what has been done to develop, the resources of the State and bring it to the .front ia an industrial way.

(Shelby Highlander) - - I saw a youth amble down the street. He was well-dressed, debonaire. ; In his jeans was enough money for a number of meals; he had a place to sleep; he knew that when his sheck les were - exhausted, the lithe muscles inside of his coat sleeve would provide existence for un- couth days to come. This hus ky Hercules was anonymous to good deeds but he -hadn't a care in the world. In spite of myself I envied him. ; ." I saw a young farmermar ried to & good woman.-; His few acres of land were tilled to the top-nbtch of perfection yielding a comfortable, living for self and "wife and weans" He dwed not a cent in the world; he was weighed with only the simplest duties and responsibilities, and I knew by the smile on bis face that already be had gained hap piness. It was no longer a quest with him. And I envied him. - , I saw a man past middle life with a family to support and he, tied down to a small salary, inadequate to educate the chil dren and necessitating the se verest frugality in order to ex ist. The man's earning days were on the wane. He smiled, too but it was the twisted smile of the disappointed and broken hearted. I did not envy him. No brother, we do not envy this last man, the one with a family to support" and living on a salary. His is a life of drudg ery and irksome toil. He earns his livelihood by the sweat of his brow. His is a hand-to- mouth existence. There's none to envy him. A few of us the fortunate "upper" class pass him by unheeded. But gentle reader, go into the bow els of the earth and see there who it is that, parts the coal and the iron from their native hid ing places and plays his part in making the mide owners mil lionaires. Go into the factory and see there who it is 'that weavesour cloth, grinds our flour and makes our useful imple ments and plays his part in making factory owners captains of industry. Tell me gentle reader, who he is. No! he does not establish schools and colle ges. He-does not give . millions for the establishment of inter national peace. He does nut erect bronze or marble statues. But he does establish a lining, perpetual and eternal monument to himself through the children that he gives to the world and who can value the life of a child? The only time I ever en vy a deaf man is when he is going home to his wife a1xut. 2 a. m. after having a large . evening A woman is always tickled to death to see a 'paper hanger when he comes, and tickled to death to see him go when he goes,- ' There is nothing wonderful in the fact that a horse does not run away when he sees an auto-. mobile. But a horse is entitled to some credit for not running away when he sees a girl; wear ing a purple hat with a four foot cerise bow, a yellow waist with blue trimmings, and a red skirt with two. green potato sacks banging on her hips. , : Always Us4 to Better Health Serious - sicknesses start - in disor ders of , the stomach, liver and kidneys.-The best corrective and pre ventive Is Dr. King's New, Life Pills They purify th blood prevent con stiiiation, keep liver, i kidneys, and bowela, in liexlt'ty coiidltlo,.
