York Surrenders At Last.

Alvin Cullom York, who out
fought and outshot o. German bat
tallion in the Argonne forest, sur
rendered to his boy hood sweet,

the bluff above Big Springs re-
Gently, according to "a Pail Mall,
Tenn. dispatch. Gov. Roberts,
of Tennessee performed the GER
emony which took place before
5000 mountaineers from the
Cumberland plateau.
Sergt. York was in the uniform
of u colonel of the Tennessee
guard, having been named colon
el on the governors staff for life
by Gov. Roberts.
The ceremony was performed
in a natural amphitheater stud
ded with huge boulders which
served as seats. A large fiat
rock half way up the hill served
as II natural alter, while q mas
sive beech at it's side sheltered
the bridal party from the suns
rays.
1t was the day set apart for
Fentress mountains to do honor

The Rsgro's Part In World Reconstruction.

A colored soldier just returned
from France, writing in a Journal
for the colored race, exhorts his
people to do well their part to re
construct the world after tn e
great war, not by aspiring to Of
fetal position, but by excelling
in every task which duty calls
them to do. He says "the way the
way the negro may best promote
reconstruction is to make of him
self the best bootblack, the best
bell boy, the best cook, tho best
farmer, the best mechanics
That statement is packed full of
wisdom and if accepted and put
into practice by men of all races
would solve all the problems that
humanity has to meet. It is a sad
fact that men, generally, are con-,
tent to perform their tasks in
half-hearted fashion, to give the
work a lick and a promise, to
leave conscience out of it; but all
men should strive to excel, to do
the best in order not only that
they may earn the more in coin,
but also the satisfaction in mind
and conscience which comes in.
to the life that has laid itself out
to do the best. God is never salts
fed with anything less than the
best from any man, and the man
who fears God will be unsatistied
unless he does his best. The ex-
hortation of the colered soldier
should quicken the conscience of
every man who reads it and lift
the standard of service rendered
to the high standard of Christian
morality. A converted servant
girl once asked how religion had
benefited her, replied: "Itmakes
me sweep under the mats" Gen
uine conversion makes us so hon.
est that we want to treat our nei'
! ghbOr as we want him tOtreat us.

The Secret Of Youth.

Men and women always have
sought the secret of prolonging
their youth. Queen Elizabeth tri-
ed to make herself look young
and giddy by adjoining her scraw-
ney features with a large, red
wig about the color of an OctO.
Der sunset, but she did not fool
anybody.
IF there is really any secret
method of perpetuating the gol-
den days of youth, itdoes notcon-
sist of wearing wigs that nestle
loosely about the ears orin defy
ing the eternal laws Of Nature
with a bottle of hair dye. The Sc
cret of retaining youth, if such a
secret really exists, is entirely in
the mind.
If you would remain young,
learn to think youth thoughts.
Forget about growing old. learn
to laugh and play. Proof of this is
found in the theatrical profes-
sion. William Fl. Crane, past 70,

Too Much County Economy,

"A grand jury report that has a.
lot to commend it was returned
to Mecklenburg county lastweek
in which was contained a state,
ment that too much economy is
followed in county affairs. That is
as radical as in old-time recon
struction days Republican, but
containing alotmore soundsense.
A theory seems to be prevalent
that the saving of expenses is the
first aim Of the county or state or
other government. The fact is
that saving expense is no more a
function of government than of
any other that has todo with buy
ing anything.
A county is an organization
which has for it's purpose a joint
effort of doing something The
purpose is the main factor, not
the cost. If a man builds a house
he does not figure on how far he
can carry economy in building it
but on how much Of a house he
can get for his money. The coun-
ty might build a court house for
a thousand dollars and save u lot
of money. 1t might build roads
like we have had and save the ex.
penditure of a lot ef money. 1t
might cut out court house, roads,
schools or anythingelse andthere
by cut down taxes. But whoever
imagines that government is for
the purpose of saving money?
Dallas county, in Texas, has
voted six million dollars for good
roads. That is going it pretty
steep and the figure might have
been lower. The county cou | d
save five-and a half millions of
that and still have a considerable
sum to spend for roads. But
what is it Dallas county wants.
| 1t is roads. The only way to get
roads is to get them, and you
can't get things you want. with
out paying for them. The coun'
ty is formed as a means to get
ting things. We could save mon
ey and go barefooted. Or save
money and walk instead Of trav
cling by rail. Or live in a cave in
stead of spending money to buil(
houses. The only tronble with al
that kind of nonsenseis that peo
pie get money to spend, because
what, they want are the things
money will bring. The county
that economies too much is say
ing to buy cotfins for a dead com
munity, and nothing else. The
live county gets every modem
utility it can, for modern thing
are money-makers and comfort
makers. News and Observer.
