Dr. Ainzi Flare nee Dixon died on June II in Baltimore at the Union Memorial hospital, where he had been for more than a month. He had been in failing, health for the past year, lie would have been 7J years old on July 0. Death was due to a complica tion of diseases. Dr. Dixon was universally recog nized as an outstanding pulpit orator, has been a world figure for years and held some of the most important pas. tor-ates in the world, including that of the Metropolitan Tabernacle in Lon don, where lie was paster from 1911 to Mil 1. Since 1921 he had. been pastor of the University Baptist church at Baltimore, which he founded in that year. Dr. Dixon, one of the free famous Dixon brothers, was born in Shelby, and entered the ministry of the Bap tist chuhch. The other brothers were “Tom,” the novelist and the play wright, and “Frank” noted lecturer, who died at his home in Brooklyn May 2d, HI it 5, lie wrote the following well'known hocks on religious subjects Milk and Meat.

The Farmer and Mis Credit At this.time «>f the year all farmers who can, have arranged their line of credit. For those who were successful it might he well to ask themselves whether they will make this credit an asset < r turn it into a liability. Credit, when sought for a legitimate purpose and rightly used, can easily become the greatest asset of a poor, though honest farmer imbued with am bition. He can so coordinate his hon esty, ambition, and willingness to toil with his credit that the result will he a nice little farm paid for in a few years' time. A man who uses his credit well sel dom uses his credit to buy feed to make a crop. Of course, there are times of severe drouth and other con ditions over which lie has no control which might make this necessary. This type of man will In' considered a good financial risk by the banker. The life insurance companies in their mortuary tables figure out how many will die in each thousand ot population per year and then charge a premium based on these calcula tions. Credit prices are calculated prne tically in the same wuy. The mer chants know that so many dollars In every thousand advanced will be a to tal loss. They make their credit prices high enough to cover the loses plus a profit. These prices sometimes run from SO to 80 per Chut higher than It might tic argued, if that is the ease, why net go to the bank am) borrow money at 0 to 8 per cent. Too often this cannot be done because the farmer sometime in the past has failed to meet his obligations promptly o* has diverted the proceeds of a loan, causing himself to be classed as an un desirable risk. A few years ago a bank er told the writer that 98 per cent of his bank's farmer customers failed to meet their obligations when due or to make other satisfactory arrangements. The general opinion prevails that banks are cold-blooded, hard-boiled, and very particular as to whom they lend money. The opinion is correct. No hank could stay in business long if it operated on its paid up capital and surplus alone. They lend other peo ple's money placed with them on de posit. The banker should, as a matter of protection, see that every note he takes is better than money. If he ex ercises good judgment in “sizing up" the borrower and makes only good loans, when his bank prospers, does not break and is never hard up. The poorest risk is the farmer who tries to plant all cotton: and buy his corn, hay, oats and meat, and pay 1 other expenses. A cotton crop can be! planted and worked to laying by time I in about tfO days. Help will lutoc to be j had in gathering it. Expenses go on S for 865 days. It is asking too much o( a cotton crop made with 90 days work to pay all the expenses of a farm for 865 days and those who persist in try ing it usually quit farming via a sher iff's sale. A good risk is one who sticks to di versification, raises enough food foi man and beast, keeps a good milk cow, a brood sow which will give him two litters a year and 100 hens in the! poultry yard, lie also has a garden! producing vegetables all the year I round and a cane patch for syrup. This kind of a farmer makes cotton his money crop and has no trouble in se curing credit when necessary. May the farmer soon realize that he is a business man and ambitious to succeed; but that lie is an ethical man and wishes, no success that is not founded on justice and morality.—J. A. Redhead, in the Progressive Farm* er. Could It Be? (From Hickbry Record 1 tttft day that Alfred M. Scales, of that city has been asked by the Simmons machine if he would play Crown Prince in the place of Max Gardner, of Shelby. Now that is just naturaily hard to believe. A few days ago Col. Aus Watts, one time Czar of North Carolina, warned prospective office holders against taking part in the evolution question. Could R be that Gardner smiled at a monkey arid thereby brought upon himself the wrath of royalty. There are many men who supported Gardner when he ran on Freedom’s ticket, but who had planned to fight him as the machine -undulate. How ever, if Gardner is going to Jje kicked aside by the Simmons-Watts roller he will gain in popularity from those who are sickened unto death at the practice of having governors ap pointed. There is no man in the state bet ter equipped than Alt' Scales to hold the office of Governor, but it is the opinion of the Daily Record that one mo many candidates will depend on the royalty for his election. Somehow thi*se state gubernatorial races have a habit of outshining a Kentucky derby two to one but if such a move as suggested is to be carried out it would make all the horses of all the times look like anchored dray mules. A Loss To The Bench. (From News and Observer.) It was in 1914 when President Wil son was called upon to select n Cir cuit Court Judge for thif; Federal dis trict. Among the names suggested was that of John W. Davis, then Con gressman from West Virginia. The Attorney General recommended Mr. Davis bnt Woodrow Wilson said: “Davis is admirably fitted for the place, hut I have already decided to tender that appointment to a lawyer I kno wvv’io is exceptionally well qualified.” He therefore turned down the suggestion of John Davis and ap pointed Charles A. Woods, of South Carolina. The death of Judge Woods recalls this incident and his splendid record shows that President Wilson’s judgment was all right in the ap pointment of Judge Woods. He was not onlt an able jurist, but had high character and poise and “an under standing heart.” Shortly after Mr. Davis failed to he made judge, President Wilson nam ed-hini as Solicitor General and later sent , him as ambassador te Britain, where he won international reputa tion. Concerning the death of Judge Woods ,the Columbia State says: Twenty-three years ago two Am erican lawyers, one 46, the other 50, pedalled leisurely about England and Scotland together on bicycles. One was Woodrow Wilson, McCormick professor of jurisprudence and politi cal economy in Princeton university, of which he was that year to become president. The other was Charles A. Woods, a country lawyer, in practice at Marion, South Carolina, who was next year to become an associate jus tice of the South Carolina supreme court. Eleven years later, when Woodrow Wilson, president of the United Stat es, came to appoint a judge of the United States court of appeals for the Fourth circuit, there were urged upon him various gentlemen learned in the law, among them, conrp'cuous ly, John W. Davis of West Virginia, whei hiul served brilliantly in con gress and had acquired no slight repu tation at the bar. The president ap pointed to the seat the companion of his travels on British soil in 1902. Judge Woods more than justified the wisdom of the choice. Between the mind of Woodrow Wil son and that of the upright, able judge who died yesterday were not sympathy only and ready compre hension, hut close and subtle corres pondence in quality and method, which are traceable in their written mem orials, as they were manifest in their speech. Confronted with involved problems, they had much the same approach and attack. Via Tennessee. (From News and Observer.) A few days ago The News and Ob server contained a fugitive paragraph as follows: Three American Presidents came from Tennessee—Jackson, Polk and Johnson. No published item goes unnoticed, Joseph Erwin Grant, of Burlington, asks if the above paragraph is cor rect. Ves and no. It is literally true that these three chief executives “came irom Tennessee” to Washington. It is true they were born in North Caro lina. This State furnished them to the nation v.a Tennessee All of them lived in Tennessee when they were elected to the presidency. Growing Old. (Hickory Record.) Mr. Jim Wilson, formerly of Mor ganton, drifted back into the scene of his nativity several years ago and after a stay of a few days approach ed the late Mr. Bob Claywell with alarm written all over his face, ask ing “Look a-here! Where are all the old men who used to be around Mor ganton? " Mr. Claywell gave Mr. Wilson the careful once-over and remarked, “Why Jim, we are the old men around here now.” Mr. Wilson pondered over the statement long and seriously before he came to a complete realization of the truth of the situation, and aftei a few days he terminated the visit to his boyhood home and has made the remaining ones shorter and shorter. Do a little thinking and you will re call that when you were 16 years old ' ■'i -1C i. J.VUHJ 10* li 'll* * *:e Ot seemed old to you; the men 50 seem ed ancient; and the men around 60 were cheating the grave. But when you reach one of those marks yourself 1 it does not seem old at all and' you begin wondering where all the old men have gone. But there seem to be more young sports hanging around than ever before in all history. The Young and Growing West. (High Point Enterprise.) A new lake in the mountains of Wyoming is forming. Across the Grosventre river in the “heart of the Teton national forest a great mountain of rock” forming one side of a canyon toppled from its base and blocked the water. A body of water hundreds of feet 1 deep, a mile wide and seven miles long probably will result. So, a lake comes into being. We do not know how the Gros ventre got its name, but it suggests hurrying winds of great force, which may have been back c.f the toppling rock. But the incident is a phenomenon unlikely to occur in the eastern half of America. The great bald peaks of the west, suggestive of age as they are in their stark nakedness, are epochs younger than the wooded moun tains of the east. North Carolina’s peaks with their great forests to the skyline are ages older than the Rocky Mountains. Ul timately, the western mountains, top, will be wooded and green to a great extent. But now they are young mountains, comparatively, and sub ject to the growth and the change of youth. Hence the natural dam in Wy oming and the new lake. The com pleteness of the damming and the force of the river may be judged by the fact that the water rose in the canyon 200 feet in five minutes. Would Be Some State. Gastonia Gazette. This talk of a new state, Central Carolina, is light and interesting sum mer reading, that’s all. Bout as mueh chance of that as of somebody beating Max Gardner for governor in 1£>28. Take out the border counties two deep along the present North and South Carolina line, and what was left, put together wouldn't make a decent state. Branch Stores. (Gastonia Gazette.') “Here and There” reported two in terestin grumors afloat in Gastonia regarding the coming to this city of two big department stores^* Penneys and Ivey's. The former has already located in Shelby and it conies rather straight that the Charlotte firm is thinking about opening a branch store here.
