The Coddling Habit.
Success Magazine.

Richard Crocker's horse, Orby
which won the Derby in England
never had a blanket on him all winter
The windows and doors of his box
were always open. The English
horses which lost in that race were
kept from drafts, and coddled in al
sorts of ways. They wore thick
blankets, and the boxes were seldom
| opened except for feeding. But Mr.
Crocker believed in giving Orbya
plenty of fresh air.
People who are always cOddline
themselves, who are afraid Of drafts
afraid of this food or that food, afraid
of water, afraid of malaria, afraid oI
germs-people who take all sorts OF
that something is going to hurt
them, are not nearly so healthy as
people who rarely think about theil
health. Robust health is impo ossiblt
to the person who is always thinking
about it-worrying for fear this thing

Thanksgiving.

The yellow has gone frCm III the NAPLES,
The birds fly away to the South
! hear the great blast of the north wind,
trumpent with storms in it's mouth.
Ere long and the snow will be falling,
The twilight come early and cold,
And the beautiful runes of the summer
Sha': be but as are tales that are told.
Yet now is the time for Thanksgiving.
For music and greetings and mirth;
A song for the old folks we honor
A song for the little ones birth.
In the home as we joyfully gather,
As gayly we sit at the board,
We lift up our praise to the Father:
Accept our Thanksgiving, . Lord
For the land of our love and our freedom,
For the harvests in byre and bin,
For the flag on the school and the steeple,
For fruits in their wealth garnered in.
Dear Lord, when we count up Thy mercies.
Bewided we pause in the task
SO swift aud so large is Thy goodness,
Outrunning the iavors we ask.
The kindred come home for Thanksgiving,
Sweet children, old men with gray hair;
And sometimes the poor and the stranger
The love and the tenderness share.
God makes us like Him in our giving,
Like Him in our grace and urlove,
And SO shall the light of our living
Be caught from His temple above.

Need for a Moral Awakening
Merchants Journal.

Merchants journal
4 moral awakening rather than a
desire for more statutes on our law
books would remedy more CT the
present day evils than legislation can
possibly accomplish.
1t is time for people to stop all this
talk about bad men in politics, for
the people themselves are to blame.
The men who are continuously Y con-
demning the evils of the whiskey traf-
fic, corrupt political practices, gam
bling and other acknowledged evils,
are the ones who believe that n stat
ute is all that is necessary for re-
forms.
There are statutes providing penal
ties for the perpetrators OF these
evils. but these evils do not lessen.
A law without public sentiment
behind it and a truly moral influence
in front of it is a nullity. What the
crying need of the Southland is, is
more constructive interest in public
affairs.
Little politicians will continue to
dominate Just so long as the people
| license them.
Bucket shops, gambling dens and
blind tigers will and do existin every
community where Christian people
allow them.
Dead beats and fraudulent bank
rupts will continue to live on the ef-
fects of the honest and inustrious
just SO long as the public winks at
their rascalitY and thieverv.

Hard Shedding for Deadbeats.
Statesville Landmark

Statesville Landmark
The Bad Debt Collecting Agency
ceased to exist nearly a year ago,
but the strenuousness of its methods
seem to haze left their impress on
some of our citizens. Within the
past few weeks in Statesville three
indignant creditors have fallen on
debtors who failed to come across"
and pounded them with their fist,
and in Concord a few days ago a man
who not only refused to pay but used
insulting language to his creditor
had daylight let into his ''innards' y
by a knife in the hands of the angry
creditor. \ Statesville business
house collected accounts of long
standing by proposing to advertise
them in the newspapers. These and
other outcroppings show deter
mined disposition to make hard
shedding" to the race of deadbeats.
May the sentiment for debt-paying
increase and the deadbeat decrease
in like proportion.
