}. H. BrOdie. success is assured to
the above company.
In March, 1905, the Corbitt Car

Our Boys Who Work.
Lumberton Robesonian.


Under the above heading the Sails
bury Sun OF few days ago published
the article given below regarding the
workmen in the shops at Spencer
1t is gratifying to read such articles
1t shows that manual labor is be-
coming to be considered as hon
orable a calling as any of the pro-
fessiOns.
There can be no denying the fact
that up to a few years ago man who
worked with his hands was looked
down upon by those who made their
living by brain work. Why there
should ever have been made this diff
ferLce we cannot see.
1t is to the credit of the people,
through, that those silly notions are
passing away No longer does the
lawyers clerk or the man who is
studying medicine or even the coun-
ter jumper in the city dry goods
store look down upon the sturdy,
manly young fellow who takes his
place in the machine shop or who
goes upon the farm, intent on max
ing an honest living in the calling to
which he thinks himself best suited
by temperament and qualification.
The time was when it was con-
sidered that the man who intended
to be a mechanic or farmer need no
further education than to know how
to read and to write. Education, it
was thought, was necessary only for
the young man who was going to fol-
low some one OF the professions.
That day, we are glad to know, has
passed and now the farmer and the
mechanic recognize the Importance
of educating their sons in their line
OF business as much as do the men
who expect their boys to become
lawyers, doctors, etc.
To the men at the head OF the ed
ucatiOnal movement in the state is
due more than to any one else this
happy change. The state is care
fully looking after and providing
means for the higher education in
their line of business of the men who
intend to follow the pillow and handle
the machinery OF the work shop.
These callings have become us hon
Orable as the law or medicine or the
ministry. No longer is asked the
question: What calling is that young
man going to adopt as his life work?
but he is sized up by his ability to do
that which he has mapped out for
himself, without reference to the pro-
fession he chooses. The young fel-
low who begins life with a sledge ham
mer in his hands is the equal in
every way of the one who starts out
with copy OF Blackstone as the
f0nnd q tinn of his lifn work

cHARLOTTE'S WELCOME TO GOV
ERNOR GLENN.

T.
last week going to review the troops
OF the First Regiment encamped
there. The chief executive was given
a characteristic reception by the
Mecklenburg folk and shown distin-
euished courtesies betting the man
and his exalted station. The two
Charlotte daily papers, the Observer
and the News, editorially referred to
Gov. Glenn's presence i'll this man
ner. The Observer said:
"The Observer does not arrOgate
too much to itself in saying that the
Governor of North Carolina is nigh
ty welcome to Charlotte. He is pop
ular here, apart from the fact that
he is geniality itself, and that while
ever mindful of his dignity he does
not permit it to lead him to exclu-
siveness. Yes, everybody is glad to
see Governor Glenn in Charlotte and
all hope he will enjoy his little stay.
The News said: Welcome to Gov
ernor Glenn. The Chief Executive OF
North Carolina is here to attend the
encampment OF the First Regiment
and Battery A. The people OF Char
lotte are proud OF the honor OF Wis
it from the Governor OF the State
and are very glad that he has ar
ranged to spend several days in the
city. Governor Glenn has been in
office only short time, but he has
already made Il wonderful impress
sion as the chief official of the State.
He is universally popular and has as
many friends in Charlotte and Neck
lenburg as he has in any county of
the State 1t is a great pleasure to
have the privilege OF entertaining
Governor Glenn and the News Joins
his legions of friends and admirers in
extending to him welcome to the
city and in expressing the hope that
every minute of his time spent here
will be pleasantly occupied.
