The BilIyille Banner.

From the Atlanta Constitution.
A revival has been going on in our
town for a week and seven delin-
quents have paid up in full. Re-
ligion is a power for good in any
community.
We attended a meeting for "women
only" last night and it proved to be
very interesting, indeed. Our moth
er in-law presided She had the floor
and we had the roof.
We do not want any more water
melons at this Office. We are not a
railroad company, and enough is
enough.
Our paper is only 81 year, but
some men think we ought to throw
liz n free obituary for good measure,
and then take it out in cabba :e and
green corn.
Brethren, when you copy from us
give us credit, like they should do at
the grocery store.
The financial stringency has
struck billville at last The town is
dead and we are sitting up with it
until they can raise enough cash to
detray it's funeral expenses.
Ths school exhibitions are over;
Mary's little lamb has been turned
out to Craze; the boy has left the
burning deck and curfew won't ring
again until next year.
Billville imposes a tax of 81 on
people for the privilege of walking on
the new sidewalks; we are, therefore,
having a high old time in the middle
of the street. It's dusty, but
economical.

AUheerful Heart.

l once heard a young lady say to
another: "Your countenance to me
is like the shining of the sun, for it
always gladdens me with a cheerful
look" A merry or a cheerful coun>
tenance was one of the things which
Jeremy Taylor said his enemies and
prosecutors could not take away
from him. There are some who
spend their lives as if shut up in a
dungeon. Everything is dark,
gloomy and forbiddlng. They mourn
from day to day that they have so
little, and are in constant fear lest
what little they have should escape
their hands. They look always
upon the dark side, and can never
enjoy the good of the present, for
fear of the evil that is come. This
is not piety. True religion makes
the heart glad, and when its noble
principles are felt and exercised,
men will be happy IN spite of them
selves.

Love Yourself Last.

From the New York Herald.
He that loseth his life for my sake
shall find it-Matthew, K, 80.
Selfishness liz the cause of nine
tenths OF the misery in the world and
of nine tenths of the other tenth.
Ifyou carefully analyze this vice as
it exhibits itself in your own life you
will see that it is closely allied to
cruelty. That is to say, you are
willing to be cruel to some one in
order to obtain IA qualification for
yourself.
Selfishness is despicable and
demoralizing form of depravity. 1t
is the cracked tire of the wheel OF
progress, the broken shaft 10 the
engine of moral Improvement, kind
of spiritual earthquake which Turns
every thing topsy turvy and makes
harmony. brotherliness and true
religion utterly impossible.
An unselfish world has been the
dream of poets and prophets for
centuries. They saw the divine
possibilities of human nature, the
noble qualities, both intellectual and
moral, with which we are endowed.
They had visions of an earth that
was both earth and heaven, of a race
which boldly marched from the low
lands of base passion to live on the
uplands, with the stars forever above
it, unobscured by clouds.
The millennial energy is driving us
in that direction, but we make as
slow progress as a man who climbs
q mountain with heavy burden on
his shoulders. The Instances of self
sacrifice and patriotism and philan-
thropy and large charity which we
see give us a glimpse of the ethereal
plateau which it is our manifest
destiny TO attain some time, but as
yet we are racked and torn and
riven and disrupted by curious
greediness for ourselves and q per-
sistent indifference to the fate of
others. We feel no personal respon-
sibility for the guilt or misery of our
neighbors. We have enough Of the

SAM A GOLD-BUG.

1t appears that Sam Jones, like
most people to whom "hard times"
has been a theory rather than a
a condition. is a gold-bug. He is
reported to have said recently at
Mexico, Missouri:
eve have riseussed gold and gold
buggery and silver and silver dig
gerry until We have got the country
in bad fix. What you want to do
is to get out of debt; you have
worked your mouth more than your
hands. A fellow that monkeys
about the gold and silver question is
the fellow that is in debt. Find me
a fellow that's in favor of free silver
that is out of debt. L want his
picture to show over the country"
If everybody was as well TODD as
Sam there would be little complaint
of the monetary system. Sam
makes piles of money and knows
nothing practically OF the pinchihg
effects of the panic. Once We heard
him say he wouldn't exchange his
Job with the President of the United
States, because it paid better and
lasted longer.
His experience with depression in
finances is similar to that of the
Congressman who declared before
his election that things were terribly
out of Joint and that if he was elected
he was going to set them straight or
know the reason why. Alter he
took his seat he assumed a very
passive position and upon being
questioned about the matter said he
heard great deal about hard times
but he had't experienced anything OF
this sort since he had been in Wash
ington. That five thousand dollars
salary had changed his own relation
to the hard times that were SO
burdensome to the people and he
was disposed to view matters
through his own spectacles, which
had been polished at the public
treasury.
After all there is much truth in
Sans statement, from which it Is
fair to infer that the creditor class is
in favor of gold and the debtor class
is i'll favor of silver-that gold is the
money of the rich and silver is the
money of the poor. The single golC
standard tends to add to the power
of concentrated wealth and at thu
same time adds to the impoverish
ment of the poor. That's whats
the matter and hence this agitation
by the people of ''gold and golt
buggery and silver and silver
diggery" They want to change {
system that is so inequitable ant
that has so largely increased tn
burden of debt upon the masses. l
all who are in debt will stick togeth
er in the currency campaign we ma.
expect to see silver get there with
whoop.

If we believed the bold assertions

AT least one benefit accrues from
the currency agitation. 1t is an in
eentIve to concentrated wealth,
which stands by the single gold
standard, to turn money loose for
the purpose of hedging the argument
that the single standards conducive
to hard times. This loosening of the
purse strings will help to make times
better. AS We have previously re-
marked, there is not SO much a lack
OF per capita of currency as there is
lack of per capita of circulation.

ton act. All of US are ready for the

Death of Mrs. Susan Smith.

Mrs. Susan Smith died at her home
about one mile from Scotland Neck,
Nov. 7, 1895, aged So years and q
months, after long and wasting weak
ness incident to old age.
Deceased was the daughter OF Peter
Evans of Edgecombe county. She was
born July 26, 1910, and was married to
William r. Smith, of Scotland Neck,
Jan %, 1928, and lived at her late home
from that time until her death, except
nine months which she spent at Pitts
bOro.
She was among the first students OF
Salem Female Academy, her name ap-
pearing in the roll on the first page OF
the register, under date of 1918.
Deceased was the mother OF thirteen
children, Mr.. Peter E. and Rev. w. J.
Smith, Of Scotland Neck, being respect
lively the Oldest and the youngest.
The remains were inferred in the
Episcopal cemetery Friday, Nov. g.

loved so well and where she worshiped
so long. A large crowd of relatives and
friends, and quite number of old SER
wants, attended the burial of the one
they had loved and respected, and to
whose comforts they had so willingly
and cheerfully given service.
Mrs Smith retained her faculties Of
reason until the end, being able to read
and write until within very short
time before her DEATH She endeavor-
ed to be cheerful as long as she lived
for the sake of those about her. She
had no fear of death, but waiting fol
the summons as a faithful servant OF
her Divine Master, she was ready to &C
away aud be with Him and to enter
upon the eternal joys Of the redeemed
for whom Jesus said II go to prepare a
place for you" The blessed memory
of her holy life and her sweet Christian
spirit will fade from earlh only as the
attritiOn of time and the tide of years
bear away those who knew her here.
