for a few minutes concerning
a subject that is not new to you.
People, as rule, take two
views Of work. One is the old
view; the other is the new view.
The old view considers work as
something placed in the world
as q curse, as punishment for
people; and then in connection
with that same idea, people for
merly regarded work as being
something placed here for the
purpose of enabling one to earn
II living.
Both of these views are short
sighted. There is scarcely a
pig in Alabama that is not
able to earn its own living. A
human being who is only able
to do this, is not very much be-
yond a pig. The new view
changes this view of labor.
Persons have learned by eXper-
ience to regard work as q priv
elege, as something that is placed
here for the highest benefit of
human beings. and l want to-
night, il possible, for Il few
minutes, to help you to accept
that as the new view Of labor.
1t doesn't apply to any special
race, or any special nation, or
To- any special period of time.
You will find that when races
or nations get to the point of
looking upon labor as a prive-
lege, they are making real pro.
gress.e
If you will call to mind the
successful nations on races. all
that have really made place
in life you will find always
without exception, that they
are the races or nations that
have learned how to work, tO
labor; they have learned that il
is II privilege to work. They
have learned that labor consti-
tutes Il part of the highest ser.
vice of amy race on nation. And
You will learn further in study
ing history that not only the
races and nations that have
learned to work are the most
successful, hut they are also the
most happy.
Now there are two classes OF
people who do not work; the
rich who do not work because

you would get II thoroughly
fixed in your minds that in
either case the individual who
does not work is the most un.
happy, whether a black, or 4
white individual. Such an in.
dividual, whether ignorant, in
poverty, or in wealth, is an
unhappy individual. One can
not find happiness for any
length Of time in idlcness. II
is only in hard work with the
hand or head, or both that
people find genuine happiness.
The persons who are strongest
in body, and healthy are the
people who work most with
their hands or head. 1t is i'm.
possible for you to enjoy real
life unless you have learned to
work, and work hard. Persons
who do not work arc persons
who do not enjoy life. You can
not enjoy your food unless you
have a good appetite induced by
real, earnest work. IL is impos.
sible for persons to live high,
moral and spiritual lives unless
they have a right view Of work,
/ want the students Tuskeget
Institute TO get it fixed in thei,
minds that there is genuine
happiness in work. Never
grumble about your work
You never will get all there Is
out of life until you get away
from the old IDEA that labor is
put here TO curse indivi luals
you will never get all out OF lif,
until You begin to long for the
time to come when you ca,

satisfied until YOU get som,
kind of employment that vii

do not commit crime. Think o

He was born June 10, 1873 near

Of his death.

knew what we kDow or could have
seen what we sav. The oeslNughts
OF Bill Butler on the produetion OF
CoDyer's larder surpassed anything
known or heard oR IN ancient or mod
ern history. He unearthed his
trusty blade and fought turhcy to a
staDdstill. From the far end Of the
battle field it seemed to us he fought
with much gusto and evident relish.
He was a silent fighter. No sound
escaped him. To better enable him
to cope with the enemy, he left his
fair lady love in his castle and went
forth 10 this battle field unhamptred.
There we're other silent fighters. All
stood their ground bravely. Bob
Flanary covered the left flank. OF
Commander Haynes forces with cred
1t and honor. The right Aank was
held we'll in hand by G. &. Taylor.
The van was sustained MOLLY by
Will Cannan. At the close he told
abost it too and said that he had not
observed a single knight without
fear, except the speakers on the pro-
gram. Fear got hold on Joha. Will
son 10 some extent. Before his
speech he could not eat for thinking
OF what was to come, and AFTER his
speech he could not eat because Of
the reaction. Therefore he did not
e njoy himself as we'll as some others
we know. The battle finally closed.
Strong and stout men kept the
corpses removed from the field So.
at the end it could be said thai
everything was done in deeency and
in order. These affairs are annual
and the X. p. Lodge makes these
events happy events.

Child Badly Burned

Last Wednesday the little two
year old daughter of Louis Sliger
was seriously, but not fatally, burn
ed. Her mother also was burned
severely in an endeavor to put out
the flames which enveloped the little
one. The baby was playing with
her doll in front of the fire, when
suddenly the dolls clothes caught
fire and spread in an instant to the
little girl. Had her mother not
been near at hand she would have
undoubtedly burned to death.

The Thaw murder trial is on in
New York. As a trial of interest
with dramatic scenes il is fay ahead
of anything before the courts of this
country since the trial of garfield 5
assassin, or the trial Of Mrs. Surrat
in Chicago, both twenty odd years
ago. Harry X. Thaws father was a
Pittsburg millionaire. He alse was
member Of the Cumberland Presby-
terian church in good standing AID
was a liberal giver to his church
first and then to other charities. In
the winter Of 1923 Mr.. Thaw made
a handsome donation to a Cumber-
land Presbyterian college located in
Waynesburg, Pa, through the solie-
itatIon and efforts Of Rev. p. II.
Crider, who visited him in his home
in Pittsburg. Rev. =. II. Crider
was = SOD Of William Crider, who
lived the last years Of his life and
died at the second farm east OF Trib-
une. Foster Crider, Of Tolu, aud
Bradley Crider, of Marion, we're alsO

A beggar woman was asking aims
on Main street. She had a trunk in
soak at the depot, so she said, and
her one purpose was to "get that
trunk out. Her statements we're q
trife clouded. Her face was also
clouded with dirt. She talked with
an eagerness born Of an innate de-
sire to get hold of the coin. An in
surance agent with a business move
on him approached rapidly and her
auditors said, Here comes the man
you ought to strike. He is the
Christian preacher and his one mas
sion in life is to help the needy.
AS he hove to the beggar woman
nailed him. 1t was Cam Wallaee.
She poured out again her never end
ing tale of woe and when she fnash-
ed Cam said, "Now let me tell you
something. 1t Is true | am pastor
OF a little flock down here, but the
flock is small and my salary Is small.
We have an organization in our
church for charity and one of our
iron bound rules is that we are not
allowed to give a cent to anything
outside of this organization, or rath-
er without the consent of this organ
ization, and therefore, my dear
woman, it will be impossible for me
under these circumstances and
weighted down by these rules aud
regulations, to subscribe anything
in a monetary way to this charity,
which ! see is most worthy, until
coul' call together the board of di-
recl $ of my church and place the
matt. before them under the usual
order of business and in regular ses-
sion, and my dear woman" The

hot potato and moved off muttering
something about having never heard !

Hide Prices a Factor.

Chicago, Nov. 22.-Weakness In the
cow department, has been due in no
cattle market lately, especially In the
small measure to the sharp decline in
the price of hides. All the packers
have their cellars full of COW hides,
which are quoted very much lower than
few months ago. 1t is said that
tanners are having their troubles In
getting financial assistance from the
banks and are grinding out the stock
of leather they have, causing a bad
slump in the hide market. Cow hides
that were selling at 10c year ago
are quoted at 70Sc now, and the lac
hides are marked down to Zoe. There
has been a big reduction all along the
line, and even good spreadies are con-
siderably lower. The inability of pack
ers to move the product is causing
some worry, and has caused them to
make lower bids on the cattle than
probably would otherwise have been
offered. Sheep pelts are also piling up
and houseroom is getting scarce. Tan
ners say the leather market is stag
nant, and there are no indications that
the hide market will improve before
spring.

Washington, Nov. 22--It is evident
rescntatives arriving here that the
money kings OF New York and their
imitators In other parts of the coun-
try need not look for much sympathy
from congress. Almost all the states
men admit that the situation Is a seri-
Gus one and that some radical remedy
must be devised to supply plenty of
money. There are, however. almost to
u man disposed to put the blame upon
the speculative influences in New York.
Every congressman from the west
reports the same thing. They come to
the White House and treasury depart
ment and tell Identical stories Of con
slant prosperity, good crops, large de-
mand for manufactured articles, and
with it all scarcity Of money. Many Of
them are unable to understand how two
such contradictory conditions can ex-
list at the same time. What they do
know is that western banks and west
ern capitalists have now and have had
vast sums on deposit in New York,
while western banks today hold New
York commercial paper upon which
they have advanced millions upon
millions of money.
The constant complaint which is be-
ing dlnned into the ears of Secretary
Cortelyou and President Roosevelt is
that western banks have money enough
on deposit in New York to move the
crops If they could only get at their
own cash. 1t was this complaint,
which came from every important
business center of the west which fin
ally induced the president to resort to
the extraordinary device of issuing in
terest bearing certificates of indebted
ness at time when the treasury ac-
tually had on hand surplus amount
ing to s250,O00,O00.
Members Of the house and senate
from the interior who arrived here are
practically unit in declaring that
they will not consent to any new cur
rency legislation unless some action
is taken at the same time to prevent
the use of government funds for stock
gambling operations These men say
there never could have been any
money stringency in the face of the
extraordinary prosperity in every le-
Ultimate line of trade had 1t not been
for the vast sums needed to continue
