Lenoir Pastors Oppose Dancing.

In The Lenoir News Topic of
last Friday, the six pastors of the
various churches or the town,
gave their views on dancing,
which we publish below.
I'VE, the pastors of Lenoir, are
grieved to learn of the outbreak
of dancing among some of our
young people, and, being thor
oughly convinced of the evils in
and dangerous tendencies of the
modern dance, out of our pasto'
ral solicitude for the protection
and well being of the highest in
terest of our yonng men and wo
men, boys and girls, do hereby
urge the parents of the town tc
exert their parental andgodly in
huence to discourage and discon
tinue this practice, warning then
of the extreme danger of t h
modern dance.
1--WE also beg ouryoung people
to seek their pleasures in practi
ces less dangerous to morals ant
more in keeping with Christial
ideals as recognized by the bes
people of every community. 1t i
not a matter of small import tina
Christian ministers, almost with
out exception, together with tn
very best people >ofevery COMMIT
nifty, disapprove the moder
dance. Just at this time. whe
: Asheville, Charlotte, Raleigh an
other cities of the State are t
, king a definite stand against ii
t dance, why should we not {
likewise.

A Remarkable Record.

More than 93 per cent of the
2,000,000 officers and men of the
army who have been demobilized
since the signing of the armis.
tice were discharged with aclean
bill of health, according to an an
nouncemcnt from the office of
the surgeon general of the army.
Six per cent of the men were re-
ported to the bureau of war risk
insurance for disabilities and one
per cent were held on account of
communicable diseases, under.
development or others .,es.
That record is one oTwhich
the army medical authorities
may well feel proud and may be
considered clear refutation of
charges that those authorities
failed to render effective service.
Who is there who does not know
of scores of young men who have
returned to civilian pursuits in
greatly improved health as a re.
suit of their military life? OF
course not all of the excellence of
health conditions is to be attribu-
ted to the army doctors, for the
mode of living itself was conduc-
i've to robust health one could
escape without wounds. Men
who donned the uniform as anae.
mic specimens of humanity were
transformed intovigorous, health.
full fellows, while, on the other
hand there seem to have been
very few cases in which the
health of the soldiers was poorer
at discharge than induction, eX-
cept, of course, cases in which
the men were the victims of bull
lets, gas andkindred instruments
of warfare.
1t is undeniably true that in
the early days of the war the loss
of life in some of the American
cantonments from pneumonia
, and meningitis epedemics was
appallingly great, due partly to
the inadequacy of medical provi.
} sion at that time. But finally a
, remarkably effective medical or
ganization was developed and the
, figures themselves stand as the
most convincing proof of this
: fact. Greensboro News.

Mrs. Carts en- tvtAs. Patterson schuet.

The Patterson School is to have
a new dormitory for boys, to be
known as Gard Memorial Hall.
In the July issue of the Patter-
son School News the Principal
Rev. Hugh A. Dobbin, says that
he hopes soon to begin laying the
foundation of the new building as
soon as they get through work
lug the crops, and adds:
"This is made possible by a
gift of the late Charles E. Gard,
of Lenoir, $4,000 Of which is now
available. Three years ago Mrs.
Gard gave the school $1,000 as an
Easter Offering in memory Of her
husband. This enabled us to G.
ouip our workshop. Mrs. Gard
has been in touch with the school,
visiting frequently ~ad spending
a week with us, sharing our com,
mon fare, and observing the prog
ress and needs of the school.
This building will greatly en-
large the capacity of the school
as thirty boys crowd our present
quarters. We hope to put up q
building to accommodate fifty
boys. The saw mill, blacksmith
shop and wood shop, with al
necessary timber on the farm
will enable us to build at mini
mum cost.
I'm behalf of the Church AM
School l thank Mrs. Gard TO
the magnificent gift and its wise
ly.directed purpose. Her stronI
endorsement is an encourage
ment to me to press forward. "

The children of France have
not yet emerged from the shad-

Make Good For Your Own Sake.

Simply from a business stand.
point, the man who fails to meet
his obligations, particularly a
public pledge, is making a SER
ious mistake and is injuring his
standing in community in a way
that is we'll nigh irreparable."
Thus does George w. Watts,
prominent North Carolina citizen
of Durham, view the appeal of the
United War Work Committee for
payment of subscriptions pied.
ged almost a year ago. This is
in contemplation of the state wide
special effort to close war welfare
collections.
1T is inconceivable to me that
any man or woman who values
his self-respect or his prospects
of success should be so blind as
to ignore this pledge" said Mr..
Watts. 1T is not simply ques-
ton of patriotism or honor. 1t is
strictly business. The person
who fails to pay his debts and Il
subscription pledge is as binding
as any is mortgaging his future
heavily.
These things are known. Dur
ing the Fourth Liberty Loan cam
paign it was part of the duties OF
the executive committee to look
up the record of other public
campaigns. Many North Caro-
lima people would be surprised to
know some of the facts CLEANED
about their neighbors. tits need
less for me to say this semi,pub
lie knowledge worked to the harm
of those who were in arrears.
What is true of the Liberty
Loan campaigns is true of others
, this is the day of drives and w
have not seen the last one. Th'
United War Work Campaign
committees are keeping close tai
on it's subscriptions and it's rec
ords, like those Of other cam
paigns, have not been destroyer
but will be available for years t
:, come. Such information doe
, not have to be published to be
q come general knowledge. Ever
business man knows how swift,
and easily it is carried about an
+, how just such things as this ma
make or mar a man s success fo
q life.

so unwise-not to speak of othe
cOnsiderations-as to renig' Q

the State is q true record and
not a libel on the commonwealth.
This knowledge will wonderfully
strengthen the moral fiber of our
people.
2. You will know that every
discrimination in taxation is wip
ed out, and that every citizen is
carrying his fair part of the bur
den.
3. AS the values go up the
rae of taxation will go down, and
hereafter North Carolina will sbe
known far and wide as wealthy
State with a low rale of taxation
instead of a poor State with a
high rate of taxation.
1. The General Assembly has
made a pledge not to collect, un-
der the proposed true valuation
of property, revenues greater
than ten per cent in excess of the
revenue collected under thepres'
ent false values. This means that
the total revenues collected by
the State shall not be greater
than ten per cent in excess ofthe
total revenues collected under
the present law. This most EN-
phatically does not mean that nc
particular citizen will have te
nav taxes in excess Of ten pei
cent of the amount he has here
tofore paid. A particular either
may pay less taxes than he has
ever paid before. He may pay
double what he has heretofore
paid. This depends on whethe'
or not he has heretofore paid nj
fair share of the taxes according
, to his true worth. If he has pait
more than his fair share the in
:, crease as to him will be less thai
ten per cent; if he has paid less
than his fair share, the increas
a. to him will be more than tel
\ per cent.

TROLLEYS STOP
IN LAWRENCE
Temporarily Put Out of
Business by the Jitney
Competition
GREAT MANY BUSES
PUT INTO OPERATION
Claim Was Made by Street
Car Company of Run
ming at a Loss

Lawrence, Mass, Nov. 26.--Trolley
car service on most of the local and in
terurban lines was suspended to-day by
order of the public trustees of the
Eastern Massachusetts, Street Railway
company, who claimed that because of
iitney competition, the street cars were
being operated at loss. Thousands
of mill workers were obliged TO walk
to their employment or crowd into the
busses which were still running without
license
Notice that the trolley service would
be discontinued unless the jitney com.
petition was removed, was given about
two weeks ago by the railway trustees
Jitney licenses were revoked by the
city council on Monday but the buses
continued operation on a free will Of
fering plan" Street car service ended
with the completion of regular runs
last night.
The bus owners, who have organized
and are circulating petitions for a ref
erendum on the question OF substitute
ing jitney for trolley service, attempt
ed to meet the situation by bringing
scores of additional vehicles from sur
rounding cities during the night. These
were operated along the lines formerly
traversed by the street ears. No fares
were collected but contributions were
accepted. The owners said returns were
larger than If the usual fare of seven
cents had been charged
A special meeting of the city council
was called this forenoon TO consider the
situation. The question Of submitting
to the voters at the city election the
referendum proposed by the bus own
ers was also taken up.
The drastic action of the railway
trustees was not entirely expected. 1t
had been thought to-day's action of
the city council would be awaited be
fore the threatened tie-up was put into
effect. Any provisions that may have
been made for the go uniformed rail
way employees affected have not been
announced.
