MY TREASURES Nothing run erase th elovely thing* ' my Jlfe has known These treasures 1 sliull tnlwav* chef ish sis my very own. The disappointments, unkind thing-, that have but touched my way, I .brush aside, and quickly think upon the beautiful today. For each dawn brings a wonder 1 have not see before. And with that wonder comes the opening of still another door; The blooming of a flower, the sunlight on the. sea, The kindnesj* of a friend; all these are Joys to inc. ?Marcellu E. Minard. VOTE NEXT TUESDAY The Herald would urge, that all qualified voters turn our in full force for the town, election Tuesday May tilh. It is the duty and privilege of all voters to come to the polls and express their sentiments. This is a privilege that should be held most'"sacred by American peu- , i pie! People in many other" initio::., of the world are losing the privilege of . the ballot. I*et us keep it and ? use it. ' There has been too great a tendency in former years for a small minority of the voters to register the will of the people. This ought not to be. If we are to be a free and democratic people, we ought to exercise the right of the ballot. We should not let a handful of voters decide the Issues of any election. I^et there be a big vote next Tuesday. ' ' i ISMS DEFINED ' flolng the rounds right "now areI me following definitions, wnlcb are amusing enough to warrant further j circulation: Socialism: You have two cows? j you give one to your neighbor. Communism: You have two cows I and give both to the government ? !. the government gives somebody else j the milk. Fascism: You keep the cows and give the milk to, the government? the government sells part of it back I to ydu. Naziism: You have two cows ? the government shoots you and ; takes both cows. ?Selected. YOU CANNOT You cannot bring about prosperity by discouraging thrift. You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong. You cannot help small men by tearing big men down. You cannot help the poor by destroying the rich. You cannot lift the wage-earner up by pulling , wage-pa>er down. You cannot keep out ot trouble by spending; more than your Income You cannot further the brother* hood of man by Inciting class hatred You cannot establish sound social Security on borrowed money. . You cannot build character and courage by taking away a mn's initiative and Independence. You cannot help men permanently by doing for them what they could and should do for themselves.?Selected. CHINESE PROVERBS Wvorything is difficult at llrst. The lofltiest towers rise from the ground. A person of sense talks little and listens much. A tiny mole can undermine the strongest rampart. Riches only adorn the house, but virtue adorns the person. , Attention to small things Is the economy of virtue. If you do not scale the mountain, you cannot view the plain. A man is not always known by his looks, nor is the sea measured by a bushel. A clever person turns great trou bles Into little ones and little troubles Into none at all. A bird cannot reBt but on one branch. A mouse cannot drink more than Us fill from a river.?The New Age. GOOD NEWS Tha? was a nice little "Christmas gift" the city council presented to the people of (Snstonla at their meet ing Tuesday night, when action was taken reducing the cost of electric power to city consumers.

We are soon going to taste the results of the war, as I met 8age Fulton coming from the Post Office where he had just received a bulletin from one of the large sugar refineries stating that a defense tax was being planned to go on sugar to the tune of 1c or 1 1-2e per pound.

Why don't you run an information column iii the Kings Mountain Herald? Just for an example: I saw in tile paper where one Sf my old buddies was home, or is at home. Now.

The explanation has been given by the city authorities that the profit made from the water and light distribution helped keep down the city tax rate. Moat people have never understood or appreciated that argument. Users ot electric current, for example, have contended that each tub should stand on Its own bottom, that usera of electric current should not be made to pay the prop erty tax bill of others. At any rate, the further cut announced by the city is welcome news. We believe that the city should reduce Its rates as low as possible, for the experience following other cuts shows that the volume of current used has Increased as the rate has been lowered.?

Chapter Six ^ Henderson, confronting this shy. uncouth-looking youth across the table, began questioning him la a heavily patronizing manner. Where did he come from? What was he doing here?

"And what about the Indians? Who'c going to fight the Indians? The cowboys are uie once wno always come to the rescue." '"Ha! ha! They have a slogan, haven't they ? 'We always get our man'?" Henderson turned to Stretch, even more condescendingly than before. "How, young man, I want you to give me your opinion. Judge Smith here Is seeking the nomination for President of the United States, and he wants my support Wh at would you advise me to do?" * Stretch decided to tell him. "I'd advise you," he said quietly, 'to get down off your high horse and stop talkie' down to people. And the same goes for your smart-aleek Monde here.

But when he arrived at the ranch house he stopped short and rubbed his eyes Sitting on the fence railing, nonchalantly swinging his legs, was Judge Smith.
