When cataloguing the frailties
of your neighbor, it might be
well to remember that he is prob
ably according you the same
brand of courtesy.
J
Boost Your Town.
An ideal citizen is one who
sees something good in his town
and spreads the good news a
broad that others may benefit
therefrom.
Of course, there are other side
lights to the ideal citizen, but the
quality of loyalty is one which
produces tangible results.
There are three distinct atti
tudes which a person may as
sume towards the community
which feeds and houses him to
boost, to remain quiescent, or to
knock.
The booster pushes his town
along, the quiescent citizen lulls
it to sleep, and the knocker helps
to put it out of business.
Which are you?
Perhaps yon have never given
it a thought. You may not re
alize yourself which you are but
your neighbors all know. They
have accurately catalogued ac
cording to your deserts.
If you are a booster, they ad
mire you; if you are quiescent,
they wonder when you will em
erge from your slumber; and if
you are a knocker, they long for
day when you will fold up your
tent and silently fade away.
' Boost the home town, and its
citizens will boost you.
Knock it, and you knock your
self infinitely more.
Mighty true words, these:
"It takes a conscientious man to
tell the difference between when
he's tired and when he's just
lazy."
So far there are three announ
ced candidates for the seat in
Congress to be relinquished by
Lee Robinson when his time ex
pires. The primary this summer
will doubtless be a hot number.
The avowed candidates are Sol
icitor W. E. Brock, of Wadesboro;
District Attorney Hammer, of
Asheboro; and John Vann, of
Monroe. .
Premier Clemenceau, the
strong man of France, was last
week defeated for the French
Presidency, Paul Deschanel re
ceiving that honor. And as a
consequence of his defeat, Clem
enceau and his leiiow-cabmet
members resigned. Mr. Clemen
ceau's defeat can be charged to
the politicians, and not to the
people. Had they been allowed
to vote on the matter, their grat
itude would have doubtless elect
ed him by a rousing majority.
Oyster Suppers.
There will be an oyster supper
and box-party at Roberdel No. 1
High School Friday night at 7.30.
On Saturday night there will
be an oyster supper at the Wood
men Hall at Roberdel No. 2, this
for the benefit of the Baptist
church.
The public generally is invited
to attend these two occasions,
and assist in a worthy cause, as
well as being afforded an evening
of real pleasure.

The effort of the Roman Catho
lics throughout America to create
a feeling of sympathy for the
Sinn Feiner movement in Ireland
will hardly meet with a sympa
thetic response in the South.
Our Southern people are at last
beginning to awaken to the enor
mity of the Propaganda the Ro
man Catholics are waging. Their
plea of a free and independent
Ireland sounds good until the
"nigger in the woodpile" is re
vealed. Ireland is divided into two
parts the Ulsters, or Protestants;
and the Sinn Feiners, or Roman
Catholics. The members of the
Protestant churches, the Method
dists, Baptists, Presbyterians,
Episcopalians and other Protest
ant bodies, have no desire to be
separated from England and
placed under what would be vir
tually the rule of the Roman
Catholics; and yet there are doubt
less scores of our own readers
who have been mislead into a
feeling of sympathy for "poor,
down-trodden" Ireland. Should
the Sinn Feiners finally prevail,
this feeling would be for the poor
Protestants who must live and
suffer under the arbitrary rule of
a totally different faith.
And so when you hear folks
talking about "poor Ireland" just
stick a pin and you'll puncture
a bit of Roman Catholic propa
ganda.
Stockholders Meet.
The stockholders of the Farm
ers Bank held their annual meet
ing Ianuary 9th. The following
officers were elected for the en
suing year: Robert L. Steele,
President; M. H. Fowlkes, Vice
President; Leake S. Covington,
Vice-President and Cashier; R. L.
Phillips, Assistant Cashier.
Directors: Robert L. Steele, Dr.
F. J. Garrett, H. F. Long, M. H.
Fowlkes, Dr. R. S. Cole and Leake
S. Covington.
The past year was the most
satisfactory in every way in the
history of the institution. The
regular 10 per cent semi-annual
dividend was paid.
Houses Burn.
Last Friday afternoon two cot
tages at Steele's Mills were de
stroyed by fire. The fire origin
ated around the stove flue of the
6-room Kenny D. Grant house,
and burned ao rapidly that very
little was saved. The adjoining
2-room house occupied by Lacy
Lampley caught next, but practi
cally everything was removed
safely from it. The 3-room
houses occupied byF. P. Carpen
ter and by Mrs. W. A. Childress
also caught, but the flames were
extinguished before any real
damage was done. The buildings
belong to the Company and were
insured.
On Saturday the house belong
ing to a colored man, Ned Cole,
near the Jess Covington place in
Wolf Pit, was destroyed by fire,
this also originating around a de
fectiveflue. This hard-working
colored man is playing in hard
luck. Last October when he
sold his cotton and got his check
cashed, some thief picked his
pocket before he got out of town
and stole his hard-earned roll of
$500. The loss of so much money
and now the added loss of his
house, strikes a man, white or
black, a hard blow; he deserves
the help of the community.

Pepto - Mangan Overcomes
Anemia and Tends to
Prevent Headaches
When one has an occasional head
ache it is usually due to some tran
sient o- "issing cause, such as indi
gestion, eye-strain, over-tiredness, etc
When, however, one suffers from
frequent periodic headaches there is
always some special reason for it.
Among the most common of such
reasons is Anemia or Bloodlessness.
This condition is especially frequent
among girls and young women and
those whose occupations or habits
of life keep them loo much indoors.
The one important necessity in such
cases is to build tip the quantity
and quality of the weak and watery
blood.' Glide's Pento-Mangan is ex-
eptionally valuable for this pur
pose. It increases Wig number and
improves the quality of the red
blood cells, those vital little bodies
which carry nutrition to all parts
of the lmdy. It improves the appe
tite, imparts color to the face, and
restores health and strength to the
body generally. After a short course
of Pepto-Mangan the headachces de
crease in frequency and severity,
and finally disappear, if they arc
due to Anemia. Pepto-Mangan may
be had either in liquid or tablet
form, as preferred. When buying
epIo-Mangan be sure the name
Glides'' is on the package. With-
nil "Glide's" it is not Pepto-Mangan.

Dear Miss Rhoades:
i I wonder if you will permit me to tell
you about the remarkable experience I had the
other day.
It is part of my job to view before
hand the motion pictures that come to the Star
Theatre. As yot can easily imagine, from seeing
hundreds of pictures of all kinds, I hare become
critical and hard to please.
But last week I viewed a film that
thrilled me as no motion pictue has in years years,
I followed the- shifting scenes from New Yofk's
Chinatown to a beautiful mountain village near the
sea, fascinated, as if I were living he tremen
dous story myself. And, at the end, I realized
that I had been seeing one of the really great
screen masterpieces of all tsmes.
That pictnre is the Paramount-Art craf t
production the "Miracle Man'. Frehaps you read the
rtory when it made such a profound impression as a
serial in Mumsey's? George M. Cohan made a wonder
fully successful play out of It, which ran on
Broadway for a long time. In its screen form it is
coming here Monday and Tuesday, Jan. 26th and27th,
for two days .
dent
Please be sure and see. I am c9n.fi
you will be as enthuiastic, bwr & tW4tt .
Come early.
Cordially yours,
William a. Atkinsjatly Manager.
