METHODISTS AND FARMERS
LEAD.

Chapel Hill, N. c., Dec. S.-Meth-
odists followed by Baptists and
farmers sons followed by the sons
of merchants lead by a wide mar
gin in the total number of students
registered this fall at the Universe

A total of 1903 students, of whom
Il are women, have registered in
the university this fall. In addition
1877 students in the summer school
took college credit work. When de-
auctions for counting twice are
made the report shows that a total
of 1884 students have taken col,
lege work since last July. Last
year at this time the pumber was
l,702. The 1920 figures are the larg-
est in the history of the university.
Of the students here this fall 41S
are Methodists and 1856 are Baptists,
the figures in both instances being
higher than last year. Presbyte-
rians follow with 235, Episcopalians
number 159, Christians 80, and the
following denominations come in
order: Lutherans, Jews, Roman
Catholics, Moravians, Reformed,
UniversaIists, Friends, Christian
Scientists, Disciples, Congregational
lists, Reformed Jews, and Unitatians.
Farmers sons, who have held the
lead for many years, jumped furth-
er ahead this year with 375 and
merchants sons showed falling
off with 119.
The number of women in the
university has increased from IL to
II.

decade. Nineteen states are repre-
scented, the District of Columbia, and
Cuba, the Canal Zone, and Japan.

It has been suggested by a
good citizen of the county that
q long step towards law enforce
ment would be the six months
Grand Jury plan. In ether
words, instead Of having a new
Grand Jury at each term of
criminal court, have a Grand
Jury to serve for period of six
months, or more. And select
these jurymen from each town.
ship, and have them to be men
of the strictest honor and integ-
I.ty. Think what a restraining
influence it would be upon the
criminally inclined to be aware
that there is in their community
a man sworn to take cognizance
of crimes within his district.
Not only would the Grand Jury
man himself have greater oppor-
tunity to keep informed, but
there would be on hand an au-
thorized agent of the law to
whom the timid could report.

NEED OF THE HOUR.

If you are inclined to be pessi-
mistic as to the future, forget
it. The country is in need of
something better than pessimism
at this time-a1d Richmond
county is a part Ct this country.
This is a per.,cd of readjust-
meIt end reconstruction, and no
country can survive such a time
without serious disagreements,
dissention and confusion.
We are undergoing our share
of it now, and there will be more
to follow before we can hope to
become our normal selves again.
We of Rockingham are but an
atom as compared to the whole
country, but the welfare of the
nation is as sacred to us as it is
to the residents of the greatest
metropolis in the land.
We should each strive to do
our utmost toward stabilizing
conditions and restoring COM
merce to a level where it can be
maintained with justice and
safety.
Produce-economize-save.
Those are the three para
mount requirements Of the day.
They represent the only manner
in which it is impossible to con-
tinue prosperity without first
undergoing a disastrous period
of financial and commercial de-
preston.
1t is apparent that with few
exceptions the county as a whole
understands and appreciates the
situation fairly we'll, and is dis
posed to take such action as nee
essity requires.
Let it be said that we of this
community are among those who
are periodically endeavoring to
bring order out of confusion
That we have a clear perception
of the duty of the hour and a de-
termination to perform that
duty.
It is not necessary that we be-
come niggardly in our expendi-
lures, or that we deprive our
selves Of any Of the necessities
or reasonable Injuries of life.
The situation does not call for
such an extreme.
But produce = economize -
save.
That means not only the re-
turn to sane commercial stan
dard in the immediate future,
but a far greater and better
country in the years to come.

SQUARE THE DEALING.

Most people are at heart adj
vccates of the square deal. 1t is
a natural trait of the American
people, and the residents of this
community are not backward in
this respect.
Shall we incorporate the spirit
of the square deal into our
Christmas spirit this year?
Shall we go even further and
make it a square deal for our
selves, and for the community
that shelters and. feeds us?
Our people for a number of
years have enjoyed a large meas
ure of material prosperity. This
fact is reflected in the commu-
nifty life, in the clothes we wear,
in the food we eat, and in every
act of our daily existence.
1t will be reflected in the pur-
chases we make for the holiday
season, which will be upon a
liberal scale, though possibly
not extravagant.
1t is not within the province
Of the editor to tell our people
where to spend their money. 1t
is theirs, to spend where and as
they think best.
But a spirit of fairness i'm
pels us to say word in behalf
of our local observation-disclosures
dealers who have stood Loyalty
by the community in adversely
as well as in prosperity.
They have purchased heavily
in the wholesale markets in order
to be able to supply the holiday
wants of cur people. We are as
sured that they have priced
their holiday offerings down as
low as it is possible for them to
be sold. They have done their
utmost in order to meet the re-
quirements of the public.
We feel that our people are
eminently fair minded-that
they will extend the square deal
to the home merchant at Christ
mas time, as they O. at other
seasons Of the year-that they
will first examine the stocks of
the local merchants before max
ing their Christmas purchases
and, all things being equal, that
they will give the local man the
benefit of their trade wherever
possible without prejudice to
themselves.
Christmas is a time of good
cheer, and the square deal in
creases it an hundred fold.
