C, as second-class mail matter un der .the act of March 3, 1879 SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 26, 1916 REGULATE AUTO LIGHTING Some legislation should be passed by the General Assembly ia regard to the kind of lights that automobiles shall be per mitted to use. There is no doubt but that the blinding lights now wsed by so many automobiles are very dangerous to travel at night on the public roads. These blinding lights are undoubtedly responsible for many of the ac cidents that happen at night on the public road. Without in any way diminishing the ease and facility of night travel of the au tomobile, the lights can be so regulated that they will not blind the driver of the approach ing automobile, and yet give sui-u, icient light for the drivers to we where they are going, even ; at a good rate of speed This question has become so serious that it is being agitated all over the country, and manu facturers of automobiles are giving it serious consideration, and many legislatures are con sidering legislative action re garding it. "THE LABORER IS WORTHY OF HIS HIRE" This subject is as old as time, very nearly and was written in aa age when wages must have been very low from a monetary standpoint. A few pieces of silver would suffice to meet the needs of a. fellow then. Now it is different. Brery vocation of life has been affected by recent advances in the price of articles necessary for man's earthly existence. It is requiring the active and fer tile brain of man to scheme around to make ends meet. The employer, whether a man ufacturer, merchant, board of directors, board of aldermen, stewards, deacons or elders, should take stock of those who are looking to them for a liveli hood, and see how they are far ; vog. Should your business be on a prosperous basis, divide your profit with them, that they may have a chance to enjoy a small portion of the fruits of their la hor, without straining a point to : wake ends meet. Are you paying your pastor ; same now that you did three years! ago? If so he is having a hard struggle to break even. This class of people have lots of ' Mils on tnem tor tneir money. They attend so many meetings, - and its a dollar here, ; and two dollars there, that it "does not .- take long to cut in on their, sti pend, n r, i i Take stock, good people, and - see ii mose wno are wonting ior .'. ' t At 1. : . jo are being looked after as tker should.-." 'J, ' ' i , - .. CUR NATIONAL THANKS - ' . GIVING DAY Ml Among other distinctive f ea-i tores ' of American manhood is , fhat of our National Thanksgiv ing Day;; 1 This day was first .es tablished by our Pilgrim, Fath era in the year' 1621:7 At first it became a holiday in New Eng land, replacing Christmas' as aT . family festival, the custom hav ir.T soon spread throughout our great country. During the days of the Revolution, Congress an nually.' appointed , a ' day! , of , thanksgiving. .After the adop tion of the Constitution, Wash irton continued the custom. : ' :ce the year 18G3 the ' last 1 ' zrz Jay in November has been i ' j finally rroclaimed as the National Thanksgiving Day. it While history" gives' the" year 1621' as the establishment of, a Thanksgiving Day, it in reality had it inception a year earlier, and on the 21st day of Decem ber, when after a rough voyage lasting over two months the lit tle band of one hundred and two exiles, tossed seasick bruised and bleeding from the hardships of the journey, left the stifling cabin of the eventful Mayflower, and touched shore at Plymouth Rock, where their blood stained feet have rendered sacred every foot of ground. They have in. tended to enter the Bay of New York, but a strange, though un erring, providence led them across the sea to the wind-swept and snow covered sand, mounds of Cape Cod. It was a bitter cold day. It sleeted, snowed, and rained and froze. They were drenched with the waves and chilled to the marrow. Dis embarking upon the flat bowlder of Plymouth Rock, their first act was to return thanks to God for their safe arrival. Like their Lord whom they loved, they had been pilgrims and strangers on the face of the earth, and while they were still strangers, and like Father Abraham with no continuing city, and with the icy waves flinging frozen spray up on them and the dark woods shutting them in and hiding from them the dangers of sav ave perils; they gathered into a little group and thanked God for a place where they could enjoy the privilege of worship in their own way. Little did they dream at that time of the precedent outlining to the mod ern" world! Yet nevertheless thig wag the ind - t moment of jour National Thanksgiving Day las we now have it. ! If these Pilgrims, sick, weary with hardships, tried with pov- erty, cold and perils found rea son sufficient to give thanks to God, how much more shall we, their heirs, children of so great a heritage, who are blessed with civil and religious freedom, find cause to assemble and offer thanks to Him who hath made it so? We are builded upon the mountain tops, and civil and re ligious liberty are the tall twin peaks which lift our American manhood far in the ascendency of all other types.

OBSERVED By JAY BEE DEE , Men of fiJew Bern, of whatever de nomination you be, do you( not wish to spend an hour this afternoon to good advantage? The men's Bible Class, presided over by Rev. Mr. Ate Whorter is worth a visit. They are now in the midst of a blue and red campaign, and should you go, select your color and be a regular attend ant. I am on the red side, and we need some recruits, so come up to Centenary this afternoon at 3 o'clock and listen to a nice twenty-minute talk, hear a nice orchestra play and enjoy a short season of good sing ing. They say those Shriners are awful for swiping souvenirs of the different meetings they attend. They never taw any of those dummy policemen before that does duty on the busy cor ners, and they thought they wanted it, so they purloined it, placed it in an out-of-the-way place, with the in tention of making a get-away at the departing hour, but lo, and behold, they either forgot it or thought bet ter of it, as the "red", headed cop was found and is doing duty at the same old stand. A gentleman entered the five and ten cent store yesterday morning and asked to be shown to the fur depart ment. Cold weather we are having, will drive a person to do some funny things. VOICE OF THE PEOPLE Editor of the NEW BERNIAN: Lard at 22 cents per pound, flour at five cents per 16 ounces. As I sit in ecystacy pondering over the paid slips of my week's grocery bill the question confronts me (as a laboring man) what are the chances for a liv lihood if things keep advancing. Sure ly we have got to have the flour and the lard will certainly have fr bo mixed with the flour. I have decided that if Mr. Fitzgerald, of New York, who has started the stunt to lower the prices of life's necessities, suc ceeds in his undertaking he will have accomplished a feat that deserves the sincere thanks of every man and woman in this broad land who is de- pendent upon his or her weekly salary for existence. A peruse of the ad vertisements inserted in the Atlanta papers reveals the fact that the high price wave has not hit that berg yet, and I am at a loss to know why such blooming figures are expected of the people of this section unless it is be cause the policemen and street hands have had an increase in salary: and this is used as an index to prosperity. Surely the prosperity wave has steer ed clear of my coast. Another con clusion has been substantiated, that where the laboring man has had to keep his hooks away from the high grade of ham, it is now incumbent upon him to buy this delicious meat as a real saving. With salt pork at 20 cents per pound and ham at 26 'cents he can have a good meal on ham and still have enough gravy left to go in the griddle cakes, thereby cutting down the lard bill. It is also suggested for frying purposes, that ordinary axle grease that can be pur chased for ten cents per box be used instead of the, high priced lard, as by thoroughly sterilizing the grease it will answer the same purpose, and you will never know the difference by the time the next presidential elec- ti&n rolls around. Also it is said that too much corn bread will produce pela gra, but why not eat corn bread and pass out slowly, for if the high price wave keeps on coming you are sure to be froze out anyway. Do we eat to live or do we live to eat? ANXIOUS VOICE OP THE PEOPLE Our Agricultural Needs and How to ; v j .Advance Them. Editor NEW BERNIAN: : . ' When we learn from the crop esti mates of 1915 that the United States is 800,000,000 less in corn: and wheat than it was in 1916, it really becomes the duty of the farmer to care better for his agricultural interests. . ; The real farmer should use all the means at reach to increase his crops; not by adding more acres, but by increasing his results by larger crops. ... This , can .-easily be. done by using the winter crops for. improving- the soil.. We have the beans and peas which improve the land in summer, and the clovers,' vetch and many such crops that put ammonia in the soil to help build a heavy, richer soil. . We can, if we will, add at least half our soils value by turning in cover crops. And there are so many ways this can! be done that any man who will care for the increase of his la Ad can soon add twice the value and even more if he will press the means in reach. You may take a quarter of an acre of burr clover and when pigs are a month old, put eight or ten pigs on said quarter an acre and ; put the same number on land with no green manure and the pigs will double those not fed on green feed and at the end of six or eight months the pigs will double those without the green feeds; CHURCHES -' f First Baptist Church.
