In a small city like this the vice
of rash judgement is altoge ther to
common. Where people know
nearly all their fellow citizens
there are some who are so un
Christain as to attribute an evil
motive when the actions are
prompted by the best of motives,
and they are rather disposed to rel
ish a rumor that reflects agaiusl
a neighbor. Everbody commits
indecretions, either willfully or
through ignorance or weakness;
but harsh criticism and rash judge
ments do not help the offender, bnl
shove him down. The golden rule
should be applied in such cases.

Mr W. B. Fakes will cultivate
a few acres of cotton under the di
rection of special agent, R. C.
Davidson, of the Department of
Agriculture.
There were several hundred of
these farms in operation in the
state last year and all of them
showed an increase in yield of from
30 to 200 per cent over the old style
method of cultivation.
By the use of improved seed,com
mercial fertilizer and the proper
cultivation, the lands of this com
munity can be made to double their
yield. All farmers will do well to
watch the demonstration to be
made on the farm of Mr. Fakes
near town.
The trouble with most cough
cures is that they constipate. Ken
nedys Laxative Cough Syrup does
not constipate, but on the other
hand its laxtive principles gently
move the bowels. It is pleasant to
take and it is especially recom
mended for children, as it tastes
nearly as good as maple sugar.

“GOOD OID SUMMER TIME”
Could paradise be fairer! Per
haps the long and tedious winter
through which we have just passed,
has brightened our appreciation of
this season of bud and blossom,
for we enjoy all things by contrast,
and perhaps this passing from the
snow and cold of winter to the
warmth and verdure of summer at
a single bound, is unprecedented
in the memory of the “oldest in
habitant” and produces an unwont
ed thrill of pleasure. At any rate
you may talk of the purple haze of
Italy, the vine clad hills of France,
the sea queen tints of the Emerald
Isle, the quiet lanes of England
fragrant with their blossoming
hedgerows; but whoever will rise
with the sun these mornings can
enjoy the essence of them all, and
not leave their own door yards.
No sea girt isle can boast a fresh
er green than our grass and foliage.
The air is vocal with the songs of
birds and odorous from the bloss
oming trees. Flowers of every hue
are springing from their retreats
and bearing to our hearts bright
■ promises for the morrow.
All nature seems instinct with
' life and hope. Come then, ye sick
and sorrowful to this feast of good
. things. Don’t spend these pre
) cious mornings toss ing wearily on
your couch, hoping the doctor will
. find a panacea for your ills, or that
something will turn up that will
dissipate your gloom.
Go out to meet these healing, in
spiring influences which Nature
is providing for your relief, open
your lungs and hearts to her sweet
breath and words of cheer, and a
balm more potent than any ever
patented by man. A God given
panacea for the ills of humanity,
shall be given you, You will be
glad you aie alive and in this state
and that it is a beautiful summer
morning.
It is said that the Chicago packet
utilizes all the pig except the sqea!
It looks now as though they would
have a chance to even use that.
The loafers are a pretty slick set
of fellows. They generaly loaf
around those who do not advertise,
and as a consequence they are not
disturbed much by cnstomers.
The loafers understand their busi
ness better than some merchants.
In this age of trusts the newspa
per man has not forgotten, and so
we have the type founders trust.
There cau be no doubt as to its ex
istanee with the present price of
printer’s material, all priced alike
in the catalogues, and all cuts on
discounts coming from the differ
ent houses in the same form
and at the same time. The pub
lishers have been quietly enduring
the extoration of the type founders
for years, and it is time we had
our innings.
It is not generally known, but
nevertheless a fact, that there are
people still living who can rember
the time when tomatoes were raised
merely for their beauty as we now
raise roses. While its beauty was
admired it was considered like the
poisonous oak, dangerous to even
handle except by dark complected
persons. Years of acquaintanship
however, wore off its superstition
and a “few fool hardy” actually
owned up to having tasted the fruit.
Prom this beginning has gradualy
grown a use that makes today an
industry with a combined capital
of over thirty millons of dollars to
its employes each year and aggre
gates an output of two hundred and
forty million cans.
The several closing exercises of
the McCrory public school have
each been briliant successes of this
day and generation, and there was
no lack of audience to witness the
workmanship wrought out by these
months of earnest endeavor and
skillful drill. We look not upon
the vast crowds on the ground that
“a show draws the crowd,” but
that the people realize and feel they
have an interest in their public
schools, and this was but a fair
manifestation of it. As they be
held these culminations of well ap
plied and judiciously directed ef
forts they must certainly concede
that the liberal support they have
given has not been lavished in vain
or trusted to hands that have mis
applied it; and, while it does take
means to maintain our school sys
tem if it is progressive, it is means
well applied, and repays in bene
fits fourfold any community and
our country in general. In these
excercises there was not a dim star
in the constellation. The entire
school, both teachers and scholars
acquainted them-selves with hon
or. The productions were credit
able, savored much of originality,
and many sparkled with the richest
gems of thought. Elsewhere can
be found programes of all the exer
cises except the one given by the
3rd and 4th grade pupils under Mrs.
E. L. Hays, assisted by the music
puplils under Mrs. Henry S. Tay
lor, Friday night April 17, which
appeared in the News the following
Thursday, and the one given by
the Beta Literary Society last Tues
day morning for which no pro
grams were printed.
