THE GOLDEN RULE
 DR. HUNTERS TOP|C'

Expressing the firm conviction that the golden rule is applicable in every relation of life and pleading for its application between men in the present period of unrest and dis | content Rev. James D. Hunter, asso- | ciate pastor of the First Methodist church, Sunday morning preached 1 from the text found in the gospel of | Matthew, Ti12, Therefore all things that ye would men do unto you, do you even so unto them
 "1n this rule, Jesus lays down the Magma Charta that shall govern Ills ] kingdom" said Rev Hunter. in part. "He proclaims the law that shall be the foundation of citizenship | in this domain. I believe the golden rule is workable in every relation of l life, and in saying this l realize well l the full import of this statement. am taking the testimony of some of the great laymen, captains of indus- try. some of whom recently heard at Lake Junaluska. Their own tes- 1 timony of their relation with the workingmen in their shops and in- dustries was that it works.
 ''Does it pay? That is the question l you practical business men ask. And this question these men answer by declaring that they have prospered and their business is increasing steadily without any strike, or other | serious disturbance. Such a man as John D. Rockefeller, Jr., recently | told his Sunday school class that it works even in finance. And I take | the testimony of these men as evi- | dence, notwithstanding the fact that | a man got up in Congress the other day and said it would not work. , would rather take these Christian ! laymen's word for 1t than that of a | politician.
 "In it's final Ianalysis this golden rule is nothing more, or less than un- l adulterated justice And by the same reason of justice you have no right to ask anything of any man | that you would not have men ask of you.
 Christ's Attitude
 What was the attitude of Jesus | There was brought to Him a woman l who had sinned and those that brought her said, This woman was caught in sin. The law of Moses says she shall be stoned to death And Jesus said, Very well, stone her; but let him who is without sin among you cast the first stone What was the result? The case was inn.
 
 had been the accusers, in their owl, | conscience became the accused, and when Jesus looked up none were left | on the scene but He and the woman.
 We are quick sometimes to pass judgment on men and women, who l perchance stray or fall under tempta- l ton. But you do not know the pres : sure of economic and other circum stances, the conditions that caused | your brother or sister to err, and you do not know what you would have done under similar circum- ! stances. You do not know the eco homie pressure that is ofteI brought to bear on a man.
 There are today thousands of workers arrayed against the forces of capital and of the state in West Virginia. Would such a condition exist if each of the contenting forces ] could place themselves into the other

JESTER OF FELTON,
GETS OFF VERY EASY

The case of James Jester, of Eel
ton, who was arrested in Wilmington
about two weeks ago, charged with
carrying concealed a deadly weapon,
and operating an automobile without
proper tags and drivers license, was
fortunate in having friend and ac-
uuaintance in the United States Dis
trict Attorney, James H. Hughes, Jr.,
who testified as to his general charac-
ter before the City Judge, where his
case was tried. He was arrested by
the police in Wilmington and was
found to have a loaded revolver in
his pocket and a larger revolver in
his suitcase.
United States District Attorney
James H. Hughes, Jr., testified to the
defendants good character. Philip L.
Garrett, his counsel, stated that the
boy used the big gun for target prac-
tice with other boys at FELTON,, his
home town, and that the smaller re-
volver was usually carried in the ma
chine for protection. Two men stopped
him near Newark and Jester then put
the gun in his inside coat pocket, he
said.
The mixup in license tags was caus-
ed by TESTERS failing to have his IL
censes transferred to a new machine
which he had recently bought, Mr..
Garrett stated. "Jester, you have made
a serious mistake, but the court is
satisfied that you are good citizen
and will suspend sentence on payment
of COSTS" the court said.

NO NEW COINS FOR

There will be no new coins avail

lows:

phia.
October 13, 1921
"To all banking institutions in the
Third Federal Reserve district:
"In response to a letter inquiring
as to the possibility of securing new
coin for distribution during the
Christmas season, Mr.. G.. F. Allen
Assistant Treasurer of the United
States, writes as follows:
"You are informed that it is the
uniform policy of the Treasury moi
to furnish new coin Of any denom1-
nation so long as the supply Of cir
culated coin with the mints and Fed
aral Reserve banks is sufficient to
meet commercial demands, in view OF
the fact that the demand for new coin
is based on sentiment rather than
utility. N,
att is not probable, therefore, that
there will be any distribution of new
coin from the mints for holiday pur-
poses.

WANTS CONCRETE
ROADS IN KENT
States News Voices Demand for
Permanent Roads to be Built
Next Spring in Kent.

By the action of the Levy Court on
last Tuesday a week a million dol
lars is assured for road building in
Kent county during 1922, and this ex-
elusive of whatever may be spent by
the State Highway Department on the
main north and south boulevards.
The county has authorized the sale
of Five Hundred Thousand Dollars OF
the bond issue of One Million Dollars
authorized by the Act of the Legisla-
ture of 1920, this to meet the Five
Hundred Thousand Dollars allotted to
the county by the State Highway De-
partment. This money will be spent
under the direction of the Highway
Department in building east and west
roads and referred to in the law of
1919 as Estate Aid Roads,
There will be more or less disagree
ment among the people of the county
as to the kind of roads that shall be
built out of this fund, some will con-
tend for roads to be built of less ex-
pensive material than the roads which
have been built by the Highway De-
partment, while others will contend
for the more expensive roads, such as
the Highway Department have built.
1t is, however, believed that when
the people understand the difference
in value between the concrete roads
and roads built of cheaper material
they will favor concrete roads.
The Highway Department assures
us that the cost per mile for concrete
roads, to be built in 1922, will not eX-
ceed $25,OO0, and with the amount at
hand, One Million Dollars, at least
forty miles of concrete road will be
built.
It is estimated that concrete roads,
such as have been built in this State,
and which are proposed for the Estate
Aid Roads," are good for at least one
hundred years and that the maximum
maintenance cost to the county will
be not more than One Hundred Dol
lars per mile per year.
The cheaper class of roads, such as
were commenced to be built by New
Castle county some ten years ago,
cost to construct at least Fifteen
Thousand Dollars per mile and the
experience of that county is that it
has required an expenditure of at least
One Thousand Dollars per mile per
year and now at the end of ten years
there is next to nothing to show for
this expenditure of Twenty-Five Thous-
and Dollars per mile, for the social
ed "cheap roads,"
A thorough understanding of, the
question as to what material should
be used in the construction of our
east and west roads, will, no doubt,
result in a demand by the people of
the county for concrete and, it is to be
hoped, the Levy Court will adopt the
concrete method for the building of
our Estate Aid Roads" i
