y Law is esoang TO Make the Dodgers Think Aga


The rates are jumble of contra
dictions and inequalities which no
railroad man can explain or justify.
In fact, the traffic men do not at
tempt to explain or justify them ex'
cept on the theory that the rates are
made TO meet competition. 1t is
not fair either to blame railroad
managers for this jumble of incon-
sistencies. They have been forced
10 do what they are doing. Aud
there is no more logic or consist
ency in the manner in which the
state and general government are
attempting to regulate rares than In
the rates themselves. The general
government is whacking away at
rates through the Interstate Com
merce commission. The various
states are claiming the right to
regulate the rates through their
boundaries and the railroad traffic
men are supposed TO fix the rates

that they do not know what to DO.
7ge &s not wonder. How can a
business be well managed with three
bosses? Sooner or later all the
roads Of the country are going to
come under one management and
that manager will be the general
government. There may be state
boards but they will be simply as
sistants of and subordinate to the
general government. There will
be uniform system of rates based or
distance which is the only fair way

WHEN THE CHILDREN GROW

looked forward to the time when
they would be grown up, and

things l should do. | thought |
would be free from anxiety then.
No more sleepless nights, l could
rest-rest-rest. But not SO. The
saving, sWhen the children are little
they step on your toes, but when
they grow up they step on your
heart is too true. When they were
all and in the home l knew they
were safe and happy, but as they
grow up and 60 out into the world
my heartstrings are pulled this way
and that, and long to take them in
my arms again." Thus spoke
mother who had brought up large
family of boys and girls, They
were all steady, honest, and indus
trious ones, but she knew the temp
tations on every side that would
beset them and she felt the impor-
tance of their being rightly settled

in domestic life. She -slso realized
that while they were loving and re
spectacle they had opinions and
plans of their own, and did not al
ways accept hers and follow her ad-
vice. This, while she accepted it as
according to nature and inevitable,
/, was a source of trouble and caused
many heart-aches. These things
must be faced by parents and faced
bravely, while they hope and trust
that the seeds which they have
planted when their children were
little will prove true and be unmixed
with tares.
The problem of getting the sons
sattled in life is not generally SO
dNfcult as to know what to do with
the daughters. The sons must all
be bread-winners, that at least is an
established fact. They must choose
some life business. Some way by
which they provide for themselves
and their own the wherewithal to
live. It is a very important thing
to choose the particular occupation
peculiarly adapted to the individual
the one that is best suited to him
in regard to health, inclination, and
ability. There is no reason why a
man should spend all the years OF
his life doing something that he
disiikes to do when there is some

From Bull Swamp.

A warm winter, with an occasional
cold snap, has not been conductive to
the health of our community: Colds
and lagrippe have been quite prevs-
lent.
Mrs. M. L. Martin has been very i'll
for several weeks. Her many friends
hope for her speedy recovery.
r. F. D. No. 8, from Swansea, has
been extended along the Jones
bridge road, to the road crossing, the
Neese ford on Bull Swamp, and along
this road to the old route. D. Clifton
Jefcoat, the carrier, is a model one,
well liked by the patrons for his cour-
tesy and devotion to duty.
Mr.. J. Lee Brooker, who recently
bought the old mill-site on Bull
Swamp, formerly owned by Uncle
Sam Harsey, has put in a turbine
wheel of ample power to run his saw
mill, which is now ready to cut lum-
Der. He has a fine body of timber
adjoining, and will do a good busi-
ness.

awake citizens, has accepted lucra-

Ballentine-Ka;ser.

A very pretty home wedding took
place at the residence of Mrs. M.
jamie Ballentine, on Thursday, Jan.
"a. 1907, when her daughter, Miss
Cora, and Mr.. J. Edron Kaiser. were
married. Rev. Mr.. Shealy, the brides
pastor, performed the ceremony:
Promptly at 80 O'Clock, to the sweet
strains of Mendelsshon's wedding
march played by Mrs. W. G. Sease,
the candle bearers, Misses Mary kal-
ser and Mary Ballent;ne, came IN,
standing on each side of the minister,
then Miss Emma Wessinger with Mr..
Dedrick Kaiser and Miss Ruth Taylor
with Mr.. Johnnie Ballentine, then the
bride and groom, halting under an
arch of green in which hung that en-
blem of luck, large white four leav-
ed clover. The decorations were
chiefly southern smilax, violets taking
a prominent part, especially in table
decoration, the centre piece being
violets and fern with tall crimson car
nations.
The bride was very pretty in a
cream sswazette'' with all over lace
over satin and applique trimming, and
carried shower bouquet of pansy
violets.
Quite a number of relatives and
friends were present and showed
their appreciation of this young cou-
ple by the number of nice presents
they received. May their journey
over the rough hills of life be happy
one. ~.

young men in the technical depart
ment, is seriously i'll with pneumonia.
Mr.. Hendr;x's home is in Concord, n.

college dormitory. We sincerely hope
for his immediate recovery.
Our base ball boys are getting on
their toes.',
They are now preparing to have a

sometime in March. The director or
manager of the minstrel is Mr.. Pat

Lever Attacks Cannon.

Washington, Jan. 29.-Representa-
tive Lever of South Carolina stirred
up hornets nest when he offered to
the agricultural appropriation bill an
amenGm ent appropriating 100000
for the purchase of the Appalachian
and White mountain forest reserves.
He said 12 States were interested in
the movement and many governors
had personally solicited the speaker
of the house to permit the bill coming
before the body on it's merits. But
through mysterious influence, the
speaker was continuing to hold the
bill up and he wanted the country to
know the facts about the measure.
Mr.. Tawney objected to the person
al attack on the speaker and said he
would object to further consideration.
ooh, it is not a personal attack on
the speaker" replied Mr.. Lever. "It's
an outspoken statement as to where
the objection to the bill is. Person
ally have profound regard for the
speaker, but he and some of his
henchmen are blocking consideration
of this bill and by the gods propose
that the people shall know it."
Mr.. Tawney replied that he was not
questioning the motives af the gentle
man from South Carolina, but he was
questioning the language used.
Mr.. Lever tried to make it appear
that the agricultural committee was
unanimously in favor of the bill, but
Mr.. Haughen of Iowa, with consider
able warmth, replied that he had not
voted in favor of the measure and he
gave notice that he would vote against
it if the bill should ever get before the
house.
"You vote against four-ffths of the
propositions that come before this
house," hotly replied Mr.. Lever.
.Ir. Wadsworth made point Of Or
der against the amendment, which
was sustained, but not until Mr..
Lever had been heard.

A Cat Tale

A number of men were sitting
around a table recently, indulging in a
social game Of poker. One of them
showded three aces and his opponent
remarked, That perfectly good." "
THAT reminds me-" said one of the
others, of an instance that happened
in my household last Sunday. Our cat
had presented US with litter of kittens
on Saturday night, and, following my
usual custom upon such occasions, on
Sunday I proceeded to drown them in
one Of the washtubs, much to the dis
tress of my little four-year-old daughter.
After the execution had been complet
ed as l supposed, transferred the
remains to the ash barrel. 1t appears
that the curiosity of my little daughter
impelled her to investigate the mort
uary, with the aid of small stick, and
I was startled some minutes latter by
her running into the library, her eyes
ablaze with excitement, and exclaiming,
'Daddie! Daddie! Der's perfectly
dood titten in the ash barrel. -

A Very Good Creed.

Let me live this life without truck
ling appeal to the present or fear of a
future-with head erect and hope in
my heart-conscience my comrade,
and work its own recompense. Give it
me to suffer fools with fortitude, and
meanness without malice; vouchsafe
me self-forgetfulness, and self-respect-
with these l can face them now, and
Thou then. Help me to forgive a
fault, and forget failure. Forbid that l
ever be discourteous or unkind. May
l remember, always, the relative values
of money and manners. Let me not
Judge others-bering in mind that all
is set down in the Big Book. Make
me obedient to thy purpose of creation,
that I may have the love of woman,
and the confidence and companionship
of friends. If so be there is sorrow
and suffering in store, as is the rule of
all life, give me courage to bear and
strength to Misunderstanding in mind
that others, too, have carried cross.
And if, as the end draws near, l shall
not have reached the castle of my
dreams, be gracious then if ever, Oh
God! and give it me to be con-
tent. -Exchange.

Despite all modern Improvements,
Paris still heats its offices and its houses
to large extent with wood. Its bak
ers and confectioners use hardly any
thing else for fuel. 1t burns up whole
forests OF timber every year, and ex-
tensive forests in several regions of
France are reserved for supplying it
with fuel. Coal is scarce in France
and dear and not of very good quality.
Besides, the Parisians are conservative
in home matters. The CHEEKY appear
ance of the glowing log on the hearth
appeals to them, and most likely gen
erations will pass before they give up
burning wood altogether.
