A Christmas Letter From
 North Carolina

Lenoir, N. c. Dec. 13, 1914. Editor Argus
 This second Sabbath of the Christmas month finds me among the hills of the Blue Ridge Mountains in the "Old North State"
 In the distance the peaks, all capped with snow, reach heaven warp to clouds that are dull and grey, looking angry because so recently robbed of their beautiful white flakes. The picture, the scene, the approaching season take me in memory back over many years years of toll, of struggle, of defeats and success es, of disappointments and the enthusiasm that comes from ideals realized and l am wonder ing about the friends of other days in dear old Brinkley."
 The Christmas season is as 1t should be, a time for meditation. We need something to occasion ally arrest our footsteps, to bring about pause in life, that we may properly comprehend life in all of it's relations and consider our responsibility as individuals there to. From this responsibility we can not separate ourselves. These are times when this thought is over whelmingly depressive, and we feel that we haven't the strength to endure. At such a time we long for escape, but there Is none, and go on we must.
 To him who is endowed with a strong faith the struggle is made easier; and yet there are some experiences which shake the foundations of faith itself. Like black clouds at the midnight

appreciative, If possible for its readers. Be that as it may, here comes for one who looks back to many pleasant days, weeks and years spent among the good people of Brinkley.
 Now may not write as precise ly, fluently, or as interestingly as some but here goes for few "reminiscences of days gone by.
 My first experience in Brink ley was in the summer of1879. l went in company with old father, T. P. McCreight to assist in building him house on the block of land he had bought of old Bro. T. H. Howard--the house where the old people now live II think it was the first day we got to Brinkley. Bro. Howard told me he wanted me to go out that evening and take some young ladies to preaching in Ill wagon, to an arbor three miles

hour, they make dark the way. Some things will not be under stood this side of Eternity. But when Christmas comes! When it comes we may view in simple, childlike faith the Manager, from which dates the beginning of new era in the worlds civilization. When we think of the Christ, we think of fellow ship and brotherly love, of happiness and good cheer. Then we learn that it is more blessed to give-to give of our love, of patience and charity, of good will and good deeds than it is to receive. What matters it if sorrow and disappointment and pain has come our way, since these, if properly understood and taken hold of, but prepare us for larger service to our followers.
 At this Christmas time then
 let us be joyful. Not alone for the good things of of earth, nor for the bright and happy days but also for sorrow and suffer ing and the things not yet under stood. May you and your read

En route, Dec. 24, 1914. Judge T. G. Trice
 Holly Grove, Ark.
 Dear Judge:
 I'm sorry to tell you but Pm stuck in the mud and my reindeers have gone on a strike, refusing to pull until next sum- mer when the roads will be good in Monroe County. Pm sure the people living in the country do not expect me to try to force my team over the roads. If l could but trade my deers for a few mud turtles and my sled for a mud boat it might be possible for me to visit the homes in Monroe County.
 Judge, Pm wondering just how long the country people of Monroe County are going to be bamboozled into believing that they are going to get anything for their money out of the $15, 900 or $2O, ,000 road tax col lected and spent each year in raking up the dust and loose dirt in the dry summer months in order to make such impassa- ble loblollies as are existing in every part of Monroe County these wet winter months.
 Over in Lonoke County and in many other counties they are building real pike roads and the country people are waking up to the fact that they can't get rock roads until they BUY rock roads that the only way they could buy them was to issue bonds and do it. The cost is thus divided up over 20 years me while they get the roads NOW. Of course, Judge, the big land owners are all living

Santa's Letter to Judge Trice

in comfortable homes in the various towns and cities, have nice concrete walks for their families and children to use in going to school, church, etc and are in easy access to the doctors, drug stores, etc in case of emergency and they don't want to see the country people wake up to the injustices they are suffering from by not having roads.
 But there's a rumbling noise that tells me that the foolish waste of the present system of road tax is going to be stopped, Judge, and I'd advise you to get in the band wagon and join in the movement for a system of real permanent roads in Monroe County. You can do this, Judge.
 You're on the square and if you'll take it upon yourself to push such a measure thro' the approaching legislature, 1 will vote for you for reelection for the next ten years.
 By the way, Judge. can't help but think that if the jail full of prisoners in Monroe county. which are costing from 50 to 75 cts. a day to keep, had an opportunity they could build roads themselves.
 l was going to bring you another gasoline tractor and 2 grader but unless you go into the permanent road building as suggested above you don'1 need, so here's wishing yor well and hoping for something better.
 Yours in the mud,

north of town. I told Ere. Howard l was not prepared to go to preaching. had just come up to work. ''That won't make a bit of difference" says he. 'I will have the girls here and all you will have to do is to drive and just talk a little to the girls. So to make long story short, went out there every evening for a week or two, and when that meeting closed he started another one about three miles south of town to which we went til it closed.
 Soon after we began going out there was a little contest with the young ladies as to who should sit by the driver. As well as 1 remember the lot fell to Miss Fannie Letson which of course entitled me to a corres- pondent after 1 left Brinkley.
 Among the many things I might mention there are some sad reflections as there are so few now living that became my friends during those times. Father and mother McCreight are still among the living, and Edgar and Luther were their boys then.
 l went from Brinkley that fall or winter to attend school in Burritt College at Spencer, Tenn. I went with my family to Brink ley from Phillips County in the winter of 89 and 90. We con- tinued to live there til Sept. 1902 when we moved to Roe where my wife and 1 had charge of the public school for several sessions.
 This last summer, in June Mrs. F. and 1 spent several pleasant days in Brinkley attending the Teachers Institute, stopping with MT. and Mrs. J. B. Dunlap and meeting many of our old friends.
 But in a few days after we returned home Mrs. F. was stricken down and soon the grim monster Death laid claims to her body and the spirit went back to God who gave it. Thus it is that many times when we are least expecting the summons it comes with but little warning. God grant that I may live as she lived and die as she died-a true believer.
 To my many friends l would say-Let us strive to be pre- pared to meet the summons when we are called to go home.
 Truly and sincerely,
 w. L. Ferguson.

LABOR EXPERT IS HEARD.

Should the state go into the rnanu- featuring business it would recessi- tate great sums of money for the pur- chase of machinery, hire of competent instructors, purchasing agents and salesmen, which would place unneces- sary burdens upon the taxpayer. The discussion folio wing each speaker was opened by T. P. Donne1ly of Danbury, state commissioner of la
 bor, who declared that it was unfair for convict labor to compete with free labor, and suggested a farm for the convicts where they might be en- ployed and provide food for state in- stitutions- California and Ontario now have such successful farms.
 He also suggested employing them on state highways.
 Albert Garvin, superintendent Of the state reformatory at Cheshire, took
 exception to employing the convict on the state highways |. The consested condftsans surrounding the places l where re Eace needed are too great for prisoners work in, he declared Mrs. Jessie D. Holden, superintend- l ent Of the Massachusetts Reforrna- tory for Women, described methods employed in the Massachusetts insti- tuition and told of many women being
 reformed and going out into the world
 to be employed in useful labor l Discussion by W. E. Fairbanks of the Industrial School for Girls, Mid-- dletown, showed great need for a wo- mans institution.
 Dr. Edward Beecher Hooker, who has made a special study of the social evil, declared that some place must be built where unfortunate women could be taught useful labor and em- l p1oyment.
 George C. Erskin, superintendent of the prison camp and hospital at West Rutland, Mass, spoke on "A State | Farm for VaeTanfsS and s1lr-11n h Td,s 7 pr. Henry A. Pollock in discussion explained the steps taken by Massa- chusetts for her unfortunate.
