MEETING OF COM

Chairman Jones Gives NOln-
timatiOn Of His Action
On the Plan


scripps. .McRae Press Assn.
Washington, o. c., Jan. Ex-senator
Jones. Of Arkansas. IS being impro-
tuned to call a meeting fthe execu-
tive committee OF the Democratic Ma
tional committee at an early date for
the purpose OF making a report upon
the committees financial status. Rep
resentatlvc Otey. OF Virginia, who is
the national committeeman for that
state. and a few other eastern mem
hers are back OF the movement
It is understood also that prominent
New York d 7rats. including Comp
troller Cole q reater Ney York, are
anxious that !. meeting shall be held.
While the avowed purpose Is 10 secule
a statement OF the committees fnen-
ces. the real consideration is to eliml'
nate the existing pay roll There Is
feeling among Eastern Democrats
that nothing IS 70 be gained by retain
ing Chairman johnson Of the execu-
tive Committee and Secretary Walsh
under pay during the coming four
years.
The New York men believe that the
committee can make no headway in
the matter Of organization, that every
thing that may be done in that direc-
tlon IS liable TO do as much harm as
good and that it would be wiser to fol
low the example Of the Republican
committee and shut off the party ma
chinery altogether until such time as
an actual exigency demanding work
ahall arrive. Chairman Jones has
given no intimation as to his intentions
in the premises and probably viii not
do 80 for some time to come.

The Wealth of Poverty.

Current Literature, of New
York, some months ago publlsed
the following item, which may
interest some North Car0llnlans:
In the centre of George Wander
bits beautiful estate Of nine
thousand acres of land near
Asheville, there is little plot
ow led by ali old negro, which
no money can buy. Within
sight of the palatial house, the
old man sits by his door, cons
tentedlv .noking his corncob
pipe, unmoved by entreaty or
offers OF fabulous sums for his
log cabin. He invarlblv makes
the same reply. "Now, look
here, sab, all my life I'se been
bothered with bad neighbors.
Dev comes home drunk and dey
srnashes me fence, and dey steals
me bacon. Now, Colonel George,
here, he treats me square. He
leaves he bacon alone, and he
don't abduCklate no chiChens.
Now I'se got good neigh Dor,
Ise going to stick to him !

Diversity Crops.

1t would be a great day for
the farmers if they would form
a trust far enough to agree to
plant just SO many acres in to-
bacco, so many in other things
and let it 60 at that. If this were
done then the price on tobacco
would eventually get to where
it should get, and the farmers
could take 4 year about on that
crop. 1t is shame to see all
sorts of meats and iced stuffs
shipped into this section and
see the farmer buy it with the
little money he makes from his
tobacco crop. In ola davs to-
bacco was the cash crop and it
brought cash sure enough-but
those days have vanished and
the farmer, disconsoiate, vet
hopeful, insists upon sitting up
with the corpse. 1t wont pay
OF course we would not want a
farmer to come in and tell us
that he knew more about run~
ming this paper than we did, we
would rather think he was
sticking his nose into ething
at least which did not concern
him, but the tobacco business,
not the raising Of it, has grown
to be such an imposition on the
farmer that we somehow like to
point out to him the danger that
is ahead. Diversity your crop
and you will wear diamonds.
Traits right.
We don't wish to assume the
attitude of advising our friends
(for they know how to farm and

The Mirror of a Town.

The newspapers of a town are
its looking glasses. 1t is here
you see yourself as others see
you. Tney smile on YOU and
YOU smile on them, you frown
CT them and you are repaid IN
kindness. They are the reflex
OF the town. Ii the town is do
ing business, the newspaper will
show it IN its advertising
columns. II the merchants are
spirltlcss, shittless fellows, whose
stores are julnbles Of junk and
jam, the newspapers will show
it by the lack of space they take.
II YOU want the world to know
YOU have live town, you can
only let it be known through

Boys Who Are Hunting Easy
Jobs.

A writer in the Missouri Val~
| ley Farmer says:
There is in Emporia in the
yea1 of our Lord nineteen hun
dred not over two or thee score
boys learning trades. About
fifty figuring On becoming laws
yers; half as many would like to
be doctors; the same mum Der
hope to be preachers; a few
and that's too many-want TO be
editors and a few hundred others
| desire to be clerks, bookketpers,
merchants, and what not; but
where is the boy who has an
am b1t1on to be a carpenter. a
stone mason, blacksmith, a
plum Der. or mach1nist, or a
timer, or a member of any other
craft or trade? Yet there are a
dozen starving lawyers in town
and not over five good hrst-class
carpenters. These good carpen>
ters are never on of work. There
are half q dozen half fed doctors
IN the town, who do not live as
we'll or hold the respect Of the
community nearly so surely as
the fist class stone mason.
There isn't preacher III town
who makes as much money as at
least two plumbers make, nor
who does more substantial good
in the world than the plum bers
do. A good machinist has a
surer and generally better liv-
ing than the average clerk;
good timer makes more money
than the average merchant on
Commercial street.
But the bows won't listen to
tat->~-f E t121 They want TO
90 into business or the profess
ions, and the reason why is this:
They don't want to get their
pretty hands dirty. They are
afraid they will not be able to
wear high collars and fluffy neck
ties. They can't do real work
and abide i'll the primrose path
of dalllance, going to moonlight
piculcs, swinging IN ha1nmocks,
loaf,ng OF front porches, hop
ping about in parlors; and the
boys whose mothers have kept
them in starched duds until
they begin talking bass, will
have their mothers to thank for
the ideas implanted IN these
boys-ideas which are leading
the boys into lives of loafers.

The Real Christian View
(Atlanta News.

The resolution introduced in
the Southern Baptist convention
at New Orleans by Rev. E. L.
Wesson, of Sardis, Miss, deserv~
ed to pass as the expression of
southern ministers and men Of
the church on one of the most
important questions now beiote
the people of the civilized world.
The resolution explains itself:
"Since Jesus has taught us TO
60 into the world aud preach
the gospel, expecting persecu~
ton, and since He commanded
that we bless them who perse-
cute Us and despiteiully use us,
aud since there is nowhere in
God S word, even an intimation
that Christians should seek,
through governmental interven~
ton. indemnity for injuries re-
Ceived or losses sustained by
persecution, and since it is re-
corded in the scriptures that the
first Christians took joyfully tn :
spelling of their possessions, as
sufferers for Christ, aud since to
seek or to accept indemnity
secured for us by our govern>
ment. or the united powers.
would impress at least the
heather that the Baptist demon
inatlon is a politico-reiigious in
stitutiou and would therefore
hinder our access to the people
and apparently sanction the
union OF church and state, there
fore be t.
"Resolved, That We as Bap~
lists in convention assembled,
believe it unscriptural to ask or
accept indemnity for ihJusies re
ceiveG or losses sustained from
prosecutors, and that we will not
accept indemnify for the losses
we. as denomination, have
in China, and that we
will advise missionaries and
native Baptists who have suffer
ed injuries or loss, neither to ask
nor accept indemnity as private
citizens tor losses and injuries
caused by persecution. but i'll
stead to suffer joytully the injur-
les and prosecutions as did
Christ our Savior, the apostles
and the first Christians"
That is a truly Christian
spirit, aud it enjoys the distinct
ion of being the first utterance
of a public character to come
from the great religious bodies
of the United States on the
Chinese situation. 1t Is what
pight have been expected from
Baptlets. 1t represents
the real teachings Of the Prince
of Peace aud reflects immeasur-
able credit upon its author and
upon those who supported the
before the Conven-
tIOu.

Don't Knock.

In Buffalo IN MdrCu last was
incorporated the order OF the
Don't Knock which means don t
back bite.
For the benefit of those who
may be disposed to connect
themselves with SO worthy an
organization, the objects OF 1t, as
described in the construction
are here given
"Section Ito overcome in
it's members the deplorable
habit of speaking i'll Of our tel
loWs--otherwiSe. known a knock

"Section ITO better the

"Sectio1 3 TO keep the
Golden Rule ever III the minds
Ofits member.
"Section ITO bind its mem :
bers together IN a social and
fraternal manner"
The creed is equally we'll
worth knowing:
1--WE believe that the practice
of speaking i'll OF our fellow men,
otherwise 'knoCking, is deteSta>
bic, unbrothe1ly and unCharlta~

1--WE believe it our duty to

are not Of great menace to the
welfare of the community, and

ample to show them where they
err.
I'VE believe that many lives
are ruined daily, that many
hearts are made miserable and
many nen and women driven to
desperation by the despicabIe
practice of 'knocklng.'
1--WE believe that in most in
stances knocking is done
thoughtlessly, aud even those
who knock mallclously and with
evil intent would refrain if they
would but give thought to the
possible consequences Of the act.
1--WE believe that simple lit
