Salisbury, October 9th, 1913

An employee of your Uncle
Sam, several years ago used to
carry a pass and, as he had tc
travel for the government, he
would inquire of the ticket agent
the fare, make note of it IN his
little back, travel on the pass and
charge your Uncle Fam with the
amount specified. This proved
quite a revenue and..may account
to some extent for the action of
u legislators making their Fer
diem ten cents per mile while it
costs them two and one.half cents.
1t seems to us this ought to be
sufficient excuse-f for the impeach-
ment of every member of that
body who voted for such a graft.
Our noble representative, Walter
Murphy, carries a pass.

We publish in this paper a

and leave undone those things not
asked for, but not SO altogether.
Like every man who is trying to
do a legitimate business and make
an honorable livIihood, We resent
this attempts to establish a cen.
sorshlp of she press. We consid.
or this Legislation an entering
wedge that will sooner or later be
followed by more drastic meas.

There is another feature reveal
ed in this statement to which We
wish to call the attention of our
readers, it is that this sheet has no
real estate agents, bond scbemers
and public grafters or other self
seeking barnacles attached to it,
neither is it's editor connected
with such men IN any way, OF
such schemes, and therefore, adj
vocates measures believed to be

serve censure, never because some
interest, or some one, holding
stock demands it, for there are
none such. THE WATcHMAN and

meled by influences from within

Urbansky closed his place Wed.
nesday night and, owing to the
Hebrews new year, did not re-
open until late Thursday after
noon, when he discovered the

Negro, entered by prizing away
some iron bars at the zeal window,
stole a number of articles, he hav-
ing missed a pistol, two flash
lights, some cuff buttons, scarf
pins, watch fobs. a lot of pocket
knives, a lot of other jewelry,
some suit cass and some clothing.
The thief even changed his clothes
and left his old outfit in the store.

OBITUARY.

Sunday, September the 2Sth,
1913, brother R. A. Shoaf fell on
his long coveted rest. He was SO
years old on September 18th,
1918. He had suffered extreme
pain for some time; first from a
cancer OF his hand, which neces.
STATED amputation. some months
ago. but the relief thereby was
hardly temporary, as this trouble
soon began to be felt elsewhere,
until at last hs was consumed by
five or more of the same type Oh
other parts of the body. Being
otherwise of a very strong consti-
tuition, he seemed to hang as a
ripened leaf, and then gently fall
into the arms of his Maker. We
can say truly, and those nearest
and dearest realize it's truth, that
though suffering SO much, his last
days we're truly the best, because
he again learned to pray. and his
Savior's fac9 once more shown
upon him. Through all of his
affections he was never heard to
complain, but always cheerful to
those about him.
There is one remarkable thing
about this man, so aside from the
ordinary. that it will never bs
forgotten by those who knew
him. He WAS unselfish. If you
needed help, and he was appealed
to, it did not make any difference
what his conditions were, he al.
ways responded. He had a great
heart; he loved little children,
and flowers, and the things bean.
5iful of this world. Hs was a
good soldier (and always en- oyed
their reunlons,) a good nelghbo1,
a good husband and father, and
died a Christian. A FRIEND.
