PLAIN TALK ABOUT WHAT
PREACHERS SHOULD PREACH.
(Statesville Landmark

The preacher WHO breaches in be-
half of ommon honesty and tells
folks who don't pay their debts that
they are dishonest, is not only pro-
claiming practical religion but the
genuine article as we'll. Unfortunate
ly, there is too little of this sort Of.
observation-disclosures due to. the fact
that there are in every congregation
people who neglect the payment of
debt and the preacher is afraid they
will be personally afronted; and also
the further fact hat some of the
preachers are careless about such
matters and can't preach to others
what they don't practice themselves.
All this is preliminary to mention
ing an incident in which Mr.. Ham, an
evangelist who holds meetings about
the State, figured at New Berne. Mr..
Ham was going after the merchants
who sell dope drops"-whatever they
are-which he claims is worse than
LIQUOR, when a merchant wrote a let
ter to the New Berne Journal to the
effect that the merchants could afford
to quit selling dope drops" of the
Church members would pay their
debts, and he cited n case where a
Church member owed him $40. Mr..
Ham answered that if the merchant
would give him the na:ne of the delln-
quent Church member he would sea
that he paid the bill out of the Church.
Subsequent proceedings not reported,
but it is The Landmarks opinion thai
Mr.. Ham is taking on a bigger CON
tract than he can carry out.
The Asheville Citizen, reporting a
sermon of Rev. j. M. Bass in North
Asheville Methodist church. the SUBJ
ject being Honesty" mad this para
graph:
The speaker pointed out that re
ligion professed by a person who
wouldn't pay his debts was sham and
hypocrisy. He declared that people
would not have much faith in a mans
religion, so long as he failed to meet
his obligations.
And Mr.. Bass was everlast1ngly
right. Glory to the preachers who
speak. plainly about the common sins
of every day life. Sometimes 1t
takes nerve, but it's the preachers
duty and he fails if he sidesteps to
avoid tramping on somebody's toes.
rhe lack of nerve to talk plainly about
these things has resulted in many
wrongs becoming so common that they
almost cease to be regarded
wrongs. Failure to pay debts, for in
stance, is a much greater wrong than
some of the things we hear vehemently
denounced, and yet the deadbeat is so
common that apparently, in many
cases. he neither loses standing In
Church o society.

MAGNIFY HOME COMMUNITY.
(HenrY w. Grady.

Go out determined to magnify the
community in which your lot is cast.
Cultivate it's small economies. Stand
by it's young industries. Commercial
dependence is a chain that gals every
day. A factory built at home, a book
nuhlished, a shoe OF a book made
these are steps in that diffusion OF
thought and interest chat is needed.
Teach your neighbors to withdraw
from the vassalage of distant capital
lists. and pay, under any sacrifice, the
mortgage. on the home or the land.
By simple and prudent lives, stay
within your own resources, n estaD-
lish the freedom of your community
Make every village and crossroads,
as far as may be. sovereign to it's oWn
wants. Learn that thriving country
sides with room for limits. conscience.
and liberty are better thar great cities
with congested wealth and population.

HENDERSON COUNTY'S ROADS
CONE IN FOR WARM PRAISE.


The Henderson county portion of the
highway is receiving favorable mem
ton on all sides. 1T is regarded as
one of the best pieces of road work in
Western Carolina.
The Asheyille Citizen and Spartan
burg Herald have been discussing
needed repairs in Buncombe and Spar
hamburg counties and their comments
Will be found below.
The AsheYIlle Citizen SAYS:
Since discussing. the relation of our
county roads to increased tourist pa
tronage, The Citizen has received a
letter from a South Carolinian now Wis
ting here wherein he pays particular
attention to- the He~ndersonville road.
4 think the Citizen is engaged il a line
Of commendable endeavor," he says,
when 1t urges the need of immediats
improvements on portions of the Ashe-
misunderstanding highway. After
travelling over the excellent roads of
Henderson county we were considera-
bly, surprised to note the condition e2
certain sections of Buncome county's
road into Asheville, l understand that
this particular road is one of the main
arteries into Asheyille for automobiles.
| respectfully suggest that if Ashevnle
and other points would increase the
tourist patronage from our state, thu
county authorities should lose no tina
in putting the road in good condition
.lroughout.
The ~Spartanburg Herald Gays:
So it appears CnaC oparIanDurg and
Buncombe counties. the big and
wealthy counties traversed by the road
from the low country to the noun
tains are the ones that are making the
worst showing Polk and Henderson
counties, the smaller counties, have
their portions of this road in good con-
Gition, but Spartanburg and Bun
combe are not on the job as they
should be. We know this is the case
in Spartanburg, but are somewhat. sur
prised to learn that Buncombe is
showing indifference at the other end
Of the line.

 FOR DEMONSTRATION WORK
Mrs w. P Musgrove Asks Ladies Over the County f, Assist in Circulating Petitions to be Presented
 Asking for Small Appropriation

perlence" hereby petition your honorable body to make an ap- proprlation sufficient with the government aid, under the Smith Lever bill, to employ a county demonstration agent to organize classes over the entire county in which our women and girls may receive free and adequate train ing in gardening, sewing, cook ing, canning, dairying, etc., un- der a competent teacher.
 We feel that the Smith-Lever bill gives us an opportunity which if neglected would reflect upon the appreciative, progress sive, intelligent spirit of our people.
 To grant this aid will not in- crease the taxes and will, as has already been shown in numbers of other counties in Arkansas, be money we'll spent. All the papers in the county are asked to give as much publicity to this matter as possible and to co-op- crate in the work.
