OBITUARY OF ED vANNOY

Ed Neal Vannoy, son of Jesse A.
and Alva j. Vannoy, was born Sept.
6, 1901. He departed this life Febru-
airy Is, 1885, aged SO years S months
and 10 days.
Ed was nice genteel young man
in the prime of life. In early life he
left this county for the coal fields,
thence to the Western States and
Florida, and other places to seek his
fortune, occasionally returning home
to visit his father and mother, whom
he always honored and respected.
Your writer is informed that some
years back when Ed was in Arkansas
he professed hope in Christ and so
far as we know he lived an honorable
upright life.
He returned to this country about
one year ago, having lost his health.
His desire was to recover his health,
but recovery failed. He became sub
missive to his condition and bore his
Affections cheerfully and patiently. In
his last days he declared that he had
no home here but that his way was
clear to a home beyond this life.
His father, mother and sisters in
Guiding Mrs. Mary Wallace, did all
possible for his comfort and recovery.
Ed has fallen into the hands of a
just God who doeth all things well,
leaving father and mother, three sis
tiers and two brothers, and great
number of other relatives and friends
to mourn their loss which they be-
lieve to be his eternl gain.
"A friend and neighbcr.

OUR LIBRARY.

The library just started in the
county is almost imp ct e n t u s
enough to be called a reading room
instead of a library, but tall trees
from little acorns grow, and we can
think of little that goes toward the
enlightment Of people more than
access to good literature.
The county should be glad Of this
small beginning and cooperate in
every possible way to make it sue
cess. The m agazine department,
which is kept up by private contri-
buttons, is most modern and up-to-
date and worthwhile. The book de-
partment will grow as interest in
creases.
The sponsors of the movement will
be glad for the public to think of
the library as "ours".

Esz:9' NUTS AND
II KERNELS
BY TROY ISAIAH JONES

A slip of the tongue sometimes
sends US farther down the social lad
der than slip of the foot.
Napoleon wrote love letters and
proposed to Marie Louise long be-
fore he saw her. Of course he had
map of Austria.
Mr.. Chief Justice Hughes "filed"
an opinion on the gold clause. That
cut the gilt edge off some of the
private gold bonds. 1t was not with
out "rasping" tones.
A man sent Huey Long bomb
that would not explode. A man who
would send bomb like that should
be indicted for false pretense.
Mr.. Brisbane wrote that the sun
gave off 100000 tons of heat in
four minutes. These are staggering
facts but not as staggering as moon
shine.
Relative humidity is discussed in
geography. But it is not so well un-
derstood as a preacher who has a
drunken brother.
If all these lectures on agriculture
could be converted into their face
value, there would be no more soil
erosion.
I notice that the faculty at Boone
have been admitted back into their
original standing.

CONGRESS MAKES HASTE
VERY SLOWLY

While Congress is debating the
four-billion-dollar work relief bill,
and newspapers make predictions on
how long Mr.. Roosevelt will be able
able to hold the congressional mem
bers under his thumb-as he did so
smoothly in the last session. nlook-
ers are surprised to learn that little
has been accomplished thus far in
Washington and that the biggest end
of the business for which Congress
meets is yet to be transacted.
The Chinese say to make haste
slowly. Congress has evidently adopt
ed the adage, as well it might in max
ing appropriations of such stagger-
ing sums as several billions of dol
lars.
The chances seem good for consid-
cradle pro and con arguments on a
variety of subjects before the present
session of the national legislature
closes. Will Congress continue the
NRA for two more years What will
happen to the bonus? What will be
done about old age pensions Silver
is clamoring for recognition and it is
proposed to refinance farm mort
cages by the issue of several billion
dollars in currency.
The poet said: Uneasy lies the head
that wears the crown. Crowns are
not so stylish in this county, but we
would be safe in wagering that if an
average head were under the silk hat
hanging in the White House on Penn
Sylvania Avenue in Washington, the
head would not be entirely at ease.
Congress plans to spend about fifty
million dollars more on the army in
1896 than it will lay out for that
purpose in 1886. Add what the navy
will require and the total increase
will be in the neighborhood of a
hundred million dollars. We do not
favor war but nobody wants to be
walked upon and it is hardly reason
able to expect that this country will
be content to rely on fists as a means
of protection while Europe stalls on
her debts and then uses the money
to make herself secure in a military
way.

AN EFFORT IN THE RIGHT
DIRECTION

A present we are at a loss to know
whether the proposed drivers license
bill that has just passed the House
in, Raleigh with a vote of 81 to 2,
will prove as effective as it's advo-
Gates hope, but it is at least a step
in the right direction.
In the United States last year,
deaths by automobile reached the
$4,000 mark. Of course all of these
were not in North Carolina and all
of them could not have been prevent
ed had we had the strictest of drivers
laws in effect. However, the bill now
before the legislature, with very
good prospect of becoming a law, is
striking at the children who drive,
underage; at the paupers. who man.
age to get T-model to run but who
cannot pay for damages if they incur
them; at the inexperienced driver
who sometimes gets by without an
accident and oftimes does not.
The bill requires the licensing by
November 1 of every car or truck
driver. No licenses can be issued to
persons under 16 years of age. Nc
examination is required Of persons
with a year of experience and no fee
is levied on licenses obtained prior
to November /, after which fees for
private licenses will be 81.

NEBRASKA HAS ACCOMPLISHED
THE IMPOSSIBLE

Nebraska, compared with the be-
haviour Of other states, has accomp-
lished the seemingly impossible. It is
said to be entirely out of debt and
to have reached this happy situation
by adhering to law which refuses
to pledge the credit of the state for
more than 100000.
Strange as it may seem to- us in
North Carolina who are struggling
with heavy debts and heavy txes, Ne
braska's government, aside from road
building, is supported by a general
property tax and it has no income or
sales tax. The roads are paid for by
a Accent gasoline tax and motor We

THE MORNING AFTER

While the Administration in Wash

allowed by Congress, before the in
credulous eyes of the American peo-
pie, offering it to them for public
improvements as if it had the mira
culous power Of calling any amount
out Of the blue sky that might be de-
sirable, it is well enough not to let
false notions get going about a mat
ter of such consequence.
When these billions shall have been
spent and the physical face of Ameri-
ca lifted into more pleasing proper

new school building there, fine park
yonder and various and sundry con-
structions scattered every whitcher

But there will be morning after
in spite of all this temporary ebulli-
ence and exhileration.

These bonds amount to mortgage
