The Davidsonian Entered as second-class mail matter June 1, 1910, at the poet-offlce at Thomasville, N. C, under the Act of March 3, 18T9. - PUBLISHED EVERY FRIDAY BY THE DAVIDSON IAN PUBLISHING CO. OUR TERMS. Subscription one year " , el.x months c three months 100 50 FRIDAY, JANUARY 27, WITH THE EDITORS Tuesday and Wednesday of this week Winston-J-ju le m had the pleaaut of entertaining . the North 'Carolina Press Asso ciation, land the editors had the honor oi n joyin v the royal hospitality 0$ the Twin City. The attendance was small out among-'tttose present were some of the brainiest editors of the State. One of the most in telligent men in the business remarked that the discussions on shop matters does not amount to much that no mat ter what the Association ad vises the editors are going to do as they please anyhow. He remarked further that the ben- iflt lie derived from the meet ing was the strong inspiration he received to do more for the moral uplift of the State. This gentleman is right, The press association always sounds the note of moral as well as material progress, and the unanimity of the editors in the interest of everything that tends to upbuild old North Car olina is refreshing and hearten ing. The social feature of the meet ing this week was especially delightful. Winston-Salem laid herself out for the pleasure of her guests, and the very best she had was at their disposal. The address of Hon. Locke Craig on "North Carolina" was the crowning feature of the meeting. It was a masterpiece of oratory, and added to the al ready wide reputation of this gifted speaker. J lie association threw its in fluence behind the Jackson Training School, the movement in the interest of the public health, and other measures claiming the public sympathy and interest. The trip to Charleston which had been planned was aban doned on account of the condi tion Tf -the Southbound railroad track between Whitney ,and Wadeslxiro. Among the Democrats things look harmonious iti Washing ton. Champ Clark favors the appointment of the Chairmen of important comniittes by a Committee of the House, which robs the 'speaker of most of his power. In view of the fact that Mr. Clark is to be the next Speaker, this is a fine spirit. At'onc time it looked like a row between Pou and Claude Kitchin was at hand, but Mr. Pou in the interest of party harmony withdrew from the contest and thus sacrificed his own personal interest. For one time the Democrats appear to be willing to surrender their personal ambition for the bene fit of unity in their ranks, and if they continue in this course they will sweep the country in 1912. Editor H. B. Varner has joined the church, and we sin cerely hope and believe he will become' as useful a factor in the religious realm1 as he already-is in civic life. Cutting out the liquor ads from the Dispatch at a sacrifice of thou sands of dollars looks like he means business, 'i ' 1 ' .' An alley in Stateevill'e has been named "Landmark Place" and the town is proceeding to give it a' coat of macadam. Who knows but "that in the years, to come there will be in ".Landmark (Place'?, a' bronze flgure '-of Judge Clark, the fear less editor who gave the place its name? B The electric 4ui from Green ville to Durham is going to be built. It has behind it the men who do things and they have the money with which lb dWit, The-- doubting -Thomas need doubt no more, lhe thing ;is coming. .Here is our duty: let us leave 'no' stone unturned to bring this line to this town We are right on the way. We ought to put ' ' ourselves ' in friendly attitude and show a helpful spirit. Right at this point many a town in this and other States have thrown away the finest opportunity that ever came, or that ever win come their way. There is a tide in the affairs of men ' which taken at the flood leads on to fortune; and this is exactly true in the af fairs of a town. Thomasville, like all other towns, has some croakers. If they are allowed to influence our public senti ment, we are gone. The inter-urban line does not have to come our way. Re member that. They are in no sense dependent upon Thomas ville. If we are churlish and inhospitable they will simply give us the go by.' They are not compelled to have a right of way through our town.. But we are bound to bring the line to us. They can get along without us but we cannot get along without them. We ought to make it easy for the Company as far as our influ ence extends. We must not block their progress by our greed. We must meet them more than half way or get left. What are we going to do about it? It is time for us to get busy. The bringing of this great highway of traffic through the town will mean more to us than any one thing now before us; if it deflects either to the right or left leaving us a couple of miles on its way to High Point, we will be a pretty set of ganders to be sure. Let our bright business men go to work, and show our peo ple the vital value of cultivat ing the friendship of the Inter- urban people. The very delightful enter tainment given to the editors last Wednesday afternoon by the famous old Salem Academy was not only one of the most beautiful and enjoyable of the many social functions given in honor of the Press Association but it was a revelation to many of the scribes. The splendid plant of this great institution, the throngs of fine girls -who' are attending it, and the evi dent thoroughness of the in struction was most pleasing to these patriotic men who. find joy in the greatness and glory of the State's institutions. All that glitters is not .gold. The new county people thought they had a soft snap with this Legislature at first, but as time goes on the sen timent against the creation ; of new counties seems to gather strength. We doubt that even Piedmont will find grace in the eyes of this Legislature, though it stands the best show of any of them because High Point is behind the movement, and High Point is the bet fighter in the State, u. si. The community , may well thank the Civic League for the splendid entertainments .they are giving the community in the Lyceum Course, this season, lhe two last, one! Ob inursaay ' and- tne other' on' Monday night, were superb. Neighbors, how .do you feel about this Inter-urban line? We must have it somehow, ,and the best wSy.J'to ubegini is to speak a friendly word1 in' its' fa-' vor. THE INTI 4 ' !

HER Lottie was thinking- busily while she was picking flowem to make a boquet for mamma. Dear mamma had headache, and the children had been told to keep very quiet Poor mamma! She looked so pale that it made Lottie feel bad to think of it. It must be very hard, she thought, . to have a headache ou such a bright beaut, iful day. She never had had a headache. No indeed! Once she had a tooth ache, and that had beenjvery dread ful, and she had cried a great deal, but mamma had told her that' she must be patient She rememberer how kind mamma had been, and how she had Btayed a; home all one afternoon to amuse her, and , bow she had.made up some beautiful new games. And after a while, she had quite forgotten the the pain, and by supper time it was ajl gone. ' j She wished she could do some thing to. make mamma well. . '-'f j Of course she couldn't play any games such as mamma had, for t would tire her; then, bigf'fplks couldn't be amused the same way that little girls were. , But couldn't she do something? : t Just then she happened to see, some plants that papa had trans planted. They had been almost! dead, and he had taken them up and brought them here where the sup, would shine upon them. j :. And uow they wereall coming up, and the little puds, r were bejtfnninjg to show. i ' It was the sunshine that had done: It .. ... .... , -ut-M, i ' "Sunshine will do everything'' she heard him say. . ,, ' Why woudn'tit cure mamma?.; i She would .go and carry some to her. She had been out tber So long, she knew she must be full pf sunshine,, and. maybe if she went into the house and Sat down ,quietjly where her mamma was, smile., and look happy like the sunshine, it would make mamma feel better, j , So she stood quite still for a mo-' ment in the full bright sunshine, and drew a great deep breath, and tbaa went back to the house, carry ing her flowers with her, crept softly up -M1 stairs, arid into the room jRrhare her mamma was lying on I a couch.'' ' J,., She went in so very quietly that mamma hardly noticed as she drew her little rocking-chair and sat in it, and begad. & sioft little humming to herself, smiling all the time. r ' Presently mammer looked up.
