DERIVATION OF "LENT."


The word Lent is derived from the
Anglo Saxon ''lencten," meaning
Spring" because Lent always comes
in the spring. There are two parts to
Lent-the outward part and the in
ward part; that which you do with
the body and that which you do with
the spirit. e.
We are on the threshold Of Lent.
Let us strike a keynote; word Of
warning, some word which will arrest
the attention and remain in the men,
ory, The word is "luke-warm."
Lent is no time for sprinkling rose
water, for administering soothing syr-
ups, for coddling and smoothing down.
1t is time for spiritual ,house-cleans
ing for unstopping the dulled ears.
Let us during this Lent struggle with
lukewarmness, love God more, and
open our hearts to the fire of the Sun
of Righteousness. H. H.

he carried in his hand, and so with
this as a deadly weapon he warded off
the animal ana escaped being crunch

rowing experience for the doctor
who, 1t might be added, is rather fond
of lending color to personal incidents,
such as how many votes he personally
turned to the candidate of his choice,
of how many birds he killed in days
hunt, of what super-intelligence his
own dogs are possessed of, etc.
The News and Observer has been
used for many purposes, but hardly
before as a deadly weapon against a
dog.
1t is known of all men how deadly it
is against Republicans and everything
pertaining to that persuasion. 1t is
even said that in the mountain. coun

JOB WORK A SPECIALITY
How They Do 1t.

Some people possess the facul-
ty of getting next" to almost
every good proposition that
comes along. This is especially
true with regard to anything of
exceptional value that is offered
by our local merchants. 1t saves
them many dollars in the run of
a year.
Z How do they do it?
They read the ads in every is
sue of the home paper, never
emitting even the small want ads.
Every issue of this paper has
something of especial value ad-
vertised therein, something that
many people would be glad to
have.
The persistent ad reader To-
Gates these things-and gets
them.
Keep your bargain eye on the
ads of the home merchant. If
he says it is good, or of especial
value, you may be sure it is sas
he states. He cannot afford to
misrepresent his goods, even if
he so desired. To do so would
soon put him out of business.
This paper is always full of
good things you need and want.
You'll read about them in the
ads.

Brant Shankle Shoots Negro
Continued from front page

Shankle shot and seriously injur-
ed Lee Swaringen,. colored, at
Norwood.
The shooting, according to the
report, occurred in Mr.. Shankle's
store at the edge of Norwood
early Saturday evening following
a disagreement between the pro-
prietor and the colored man, Lee
Swaringed, as to an account due
by the latter.
1t was. not known, however,
even to the injured mans family,
that he was wounded, until about
10 o'clock Sunday morning.
One eyewitness, q colored
man, is said to have been in the
store Immediately upon the re-
port of the gnn this witness is
said to have gathered Swaringen
in his arms and ran with him to
his home near by. Evidently no
report was made of the matter
by this witness for it was not un-
til late the following morning
when members of the family at
tempted to arouse him that it
was discovered that the boy was
in a critical condition, suffering
from a bullet wound near the
heart.
1t was thought at the time that
lack of prompt medical attention
would cause the wound to be fat
al. DR.. T. A. Hathcock was cali
ed, and upon examination order
ed the patient to Wadesboro for
hospital treatment. twas several
times reported Sunday afternoon
that Swaringen had died before
reaching the hospital, but these
proved to be in error. His con-
dition Monday morning seemed
to be unchanged; with increasing
chance of recovery.
The County officers took Mr..
Shankle in custody Sunday after.
noon for incarceration pending
developments in the negro's con-
ditions.
There is nothing to indicate
that there was any previous i'll
feeling between the two, but was
if as reported, a quickly taken
action in a flash of anger.
MIR. Shankle is well known
throughout Stanly county. He
returned to Norwood from resi-
dence elsewhere last year and
has been in the grocery business
for some months. He has a good
many relatives and friends in
this community, which is his ma
tive home.
