WIFE'S SCISSORS
SCARE HIM

Scissors are not usually con-
sidered to be deadly weapons to
unmarried individuals, but perhaps
married men look upon them as
such. At least Edward Brown
does. He brought action for di-
vorce from Kate Brown this morn
ing, alleging that she frequently
threatened to assault him with a
pair of scissors. His wife, he
further alleges. is a scold and con-
stantly nags about nothing in par
ticnlar. These things, coupled
with the fact that Brown is fear
full of what she may do to him with
the scissors, has eliminated in the
divorce proceedings.

BOYS!

Do you read? If not why not?
If you do read then an impor-
ant question is what do you
read?
Throw away the trashy
novel, the common detective
story, the sensational rantings.
Engage in profitable study
of thoughts of great men,
good men, clean men, strong
men. Read reputable daily
or magazine. Study men and
policies. Learn to think.

TRIBUTE TO MR.. BRYAN.

The Charlotte Observer in
summing up the case of Mr..
Bryan in defeat, ends with this
touching tribute:
but he made a magnificent
fight. He spoke splendidly-
with fine ability, with imper-
turbable good temper, and I'M
der such physical strain as no
other man could have endured.
From East to West he travelled
in whirl-wind\ fashion, making
speech after speech daily, his
physical energy undated, his
superb nerve mistaken. He
went down but went with his
face to the foe and his flag
flying. So then:
The harder you're thrown, why,
the higher you bounce;
Be proud Of your blackened eye!
1t isn't the fact that you're licked
that counts;
It's how did you fght-and why?
And though you be done to the death,
what then?
If you battled the best you could,
If you played your part in the world
of men,
Why, the critic will call it good.
Death comes with a crawl, or comes
with a pounce,
And whether he's slow or spry,
1t isn't the fact that you're dead
that counts,
But only how did you die?'"

most of it"
She impressed the Importance of
improving the building, grounds,

neat and clean and to instill this
principle deep into the children's

points. She stated that the greatest
impressions, the things longest re-
membered, and the ones that had
the most influences on their lives
were made when they were children.
She asked how many men teachers
were in the rural schools Of this
county. Only one, was the response.
Then it is the women that hold the
destiny Of Halifax county in their
hands, said she, because children get
| their inspiration from their teachers.
She made strong plea for the enlist
ment of the interest and co-opera-
ton of the people in the community
whose children compose the schools.
You must also get the children in
terested, said she, and make them
love you and want to come to school.

tell them it is a gift from the State
