WEATHERS_President RENN DRUM _Local Editor Entered as second class matter January 1, 1905, at the postofficc at Shelby, North Carolina, under the Act of Congress, March 3, 1879. We wish to call your attention to the fact that it is, and has been our custom to charge five cents per line for resolutions of respect, cards of j thanks and obituary notices, after one ■ death notice has been published. TIis j will be strictly adhered to. TUESDAY, DEC. 9, 1921. (JIVING AND GETTING. Whatever job he has to do, He quietly goes about it; If demon trouble heaves in view. He’ll grit his tee'h—and rout it! He does his duty with a smile. Is tried and true and steady; An<l when lie’s called to hear a trial— He's there dead game, and ready! He gives a share of what he gets, And does his “bit” for others; He bears his share of trials and frets, Ami also helps his brothers. lie thinks not only of himself, And how he’ll win a living; The pleasure that he finds in self He mostly Trots—by giving! He’s made the Golden Rule his creed; In good deeds he's invested; He's proved himself a friend in need, Whose staunchness has hoen tested; He thinks of "give” instead of "|ret”— And always he is giving, Ard you cun bet that no man yet Has got more out of living. -James Edward Hungerford. A good New Year’s resolution would he to pay the Christmas bills first. The proverb of "bet'er late than never" met reality Inst week in Alex ander county when a 90-year-old youngster took unto himself a bride of 75 summers. They made their ma trimonial trip to Taylorsville in a buggy drawn by a jenny—the ftge of the jenny was not given. Now, Elsie Robinson ? CHAMPIONS Within five minutes ufter the game ended Saturday afternoon in which Shelby lost, her first opportunity to win the state football title four toSe grnms left Shelby congratulating the Richmonders on their victory. One was from local fans to Conch "Shorty” Lawrence and his state champions; another from Superintendent Griffin to Superintendent Bell of the Rock ingham schools; one from the mayor of Shelby to the Rockingham mayor, on? to Coach Lawrence from person al friends here. When the final score flashed over the wire telling of the defeat of the local hoys a tear or two trickled down the faces of fans and parents, but with the regret was the r ali atii n that the belt eleven won and the s-ntment exp ess d, ie vealing the quality of the 1 kc-up of Cleveland folks, was: "Well, si tee Shelby ernildn’*- win we*"* g: >•' '* 'n Rockingham that gets the title, for they certainly are a fi 10 bun must have a fast-stepping fooU>:.!l eleven.” Rockingham and Shelby have me for several years on the diamond u d gr diron end the feeling between ti e two schools has always been a friend ly one. Last spring Rockingham lost the baseball title to Shelby and pre sented a fine spirit in defeat. Shelby lost the football title, and Shelby wanted to win bad, but any school that can lose with the spine exhibit ed by Rockingham deserves to win . sometime. And the congratulations were sincere. THERE WAS AN ANNIE LAURIE. Perhaps hack in every man’s mind there is or has been an Annie Laurie, perchance to every girl there was one day a personal vision of the Immortal little Scotch. To these the following narration may be of interest: “Ever since you had a school uay sweetheart, and all through your col lege years and along into the luncheon club period of your life, you have been singing ‘Annie Laurie.’ “Did you know that Annie Laurie was a real girl a little Scotch girl born 242 years ago? And the man who wrote the song, when Annie was 18, was her lover, as he should have been. “The facts are that they quarrelled and didn’t marry. That is a pity, for she must have been a very sweet girl to have inspired a song that two cen turies later is still almost the best Ib've song in the book of favorites. “Just a hundred years ago last sum mer the song, as we know it today, was first published. “Captain William Douglas, soldier of fortune, just back from the Conti- ! nental wars—there were plenty of , wars in those days—fell in love with i the youngest daughter of Sir Robert j Laurie, of Maxwelton, Scotland. That j was in 1700, Hence the song. Ever ' since then we have been singing about this lovely lady of Maxwelton. “It surely never occurred to that fair maid that two hundred years la *ter her name would rise in song wher ever English was sung at all. “The song which was printed just a hundred years ago differs but little from the original serves' written by by Captain Douglas a hundred years before that. “The immortality of ‘Annie Laurie’ is the immortality of .all things that are good and simple. It i the immor tality of the clean and heartfelt, the sincere and the true. “The finest thing that can be said for civilization is that it retains words and music, art and literature- all the makings of good men and women so long as they are clean and true and have honest merit. Barbarism retains nothing oxcVpt by accident. “The unworthy, the unclean, the in sincere, the dish one t die. So long as the love of the simple and wholesome remains, civilization remains.” Denomination Raised S!H 1,000. I .'tru est Amou’i! liver Exccp in 1910. Riii. Short of A in. A nurihf,r of Uni t. ,t preachers and' laymen left Clevela id county Monday for Kalcigh where 'he Baptist State convention conven - today: “This h i.- been the grente ;t year of achievemcn's in ill our ninety four venrs of history," said ,ln\ Ciw'los E. Miiddry, secretary of th^ Baptist Board of Missions >f North Carolina as the books of the fiscal year of the Rimtifit state eonvoVion wro olo ed. Cashier Robert l.oe Middleton has received $944,000 for benevolent oh iects 'bis. year a compared with $796,000 last year. The amount re ceived this year is 1lu- largest ever collected except i:i 19I9 which Was both a flush year a nil tlu> first year of the five-year $76,000,000 campaign of Southern Baptists, This year's collections brings the to'al raised in North Carolina during the five years to $6,100,000, whi"h while less than the $0,500,000 rim is much more than was ever raised be fore. The old quotas ar now regarded as slightly excessive and the dennm'na tion next year will ■ eek to raise around a million, dollar . :< compared with the annual aim of $1 ..'16'),000 fix ed fixe years ago. Pledges for the sum art now being taken i i a 1 th churches of the state. Raised Three and One-half Million. The sura total contributed by the Baptist churches in this state this year for benevolent nhje ts including state, home, end Foreign missions, Chris tian education, Thontasville orphan age, Ilap ist hospital at Winston-Ru’. «m and old ministers relief is St* 11, 566.50. Adding to this amount $2,740, 860.25 spent for local church expenses gives a grand total of $",085,110 82 for the yeur. Of this amount $224, 500.42 has gone to the Thotnasyille orphanagef which breaks all former' records for thin institution. Treasurer Walters Durham of this ci y has re ceived through his office $703,267.47.! All the money for the orphanage has gone direct to Thomasville, and $16, 752.01 has gone direct to the different words and institutions. Nearly $200,-.! 000 were received during the past j week. liy general agreement throughout' the Southern Baptist convention, the 75 Million campaign, which was laun ched five years ago now, will not close, finally until December 31 of this! year. By that time North Carolina will! fini h up its mil'ion dollars for this year, it is believed. Already the state; has gone beyond the five million mark fc r the five year period. While the ob jective set has not been reached fully, • ct the results are highly gratifying,! especially in view of the poor crops! this year throughout th” state. Many . churches and individuals have made, heroi.' efforts not only to reach their original quotas, ut their pledges made five years ago. Many of them have succeeded in doing so. Women Surnass Themselves. The Wi.men of the denomination have had a large nart in the success of the movement. They are asked for $!, 100,000 for the five year period in North Carolina. They have given dur ing that period $1,660,000, whicli is more than a half million beyond their nuo'a. In their 31 years history, prior to the launching of the campaign they had given $608,313. In other words, they I ave given practically :i million more in five years than they gave in 31 years. They have given during the past three months more than $109,000. In the million dollar objeectie for the denomination in North Carolina fob next year the women have assumed on -third of it.
