There is a tendency among: Bome of us to spend as fast as we obtain; to take no thought of the morrow. Almost inevitably it brings Buffering. The profligate of the present is the pauper of the future. The man who has no sickness in his family, no reverses in his business, no inter- { ruption in his income, is experiencing life at par. He is getting the full 100 per cent. But 100 per cent, isn't the average. Somebody is having trouble. Disease and death are creeping into some men's homes, disaster into some men's business. Ultimately it is pretty certain, by the great law of averages, to hit us somewhere. The man who is experiencing none of these troubles is both lucky and exceptional. The exception is a poor thing to bet on. If there is any way you can, by denying yourself a little luxury, by using a little foresight even at a sacrifice, you ought to prepare for that time when the great law of averages hits you. When that time comes if it finds you with a little money in the bank or in some safe investment, you won't have to suf fer or to ask aid from those who have shown more sense. You will have saved both your independence and your self-respect. You will be able to take the comfort that you ought to have, to do well by yourself under adverse circumstances. You are living in the sunlight now. Would you be ready for the night if it should come.'And don't you think it likely it will come? What'a Iri a Name? How many persons in this community know who are the real owners of Sears, Roebuck &Co., of Chicago? How many persons who do know that Sears, Roebuck & Co., is controlled by persons of different names ever wonder why the firm retains its original name? How many persons who buy mail order merrKanrlwo f rAtn f liiu Ci\i/>a<iA ir>_ VIIUI1UIOV ii VIII Vllio Vl'IVCI^V IIIstitution know that Julius Rosenwald is presibent of the concern and Albert H. Loeb is vice president and treasurer, and that these two gentlemen control the majority of the common stock of the mail order house? It is true that Mr. Sears, who was one of the founders of the concern, is still a member of the board of directors, but it is said he has little or nothing to do with the business management of the institution and owns but a small slice of stock. Mr. Roebuck severed his connections entirely with the firm. If there is any one who believes that Sears, Roebuck & Co. do not make enormous profits on the merchandise they sell, all that is necessary to convince them 1 1 1* A I A. ? ? 1 _ eeives omerenuy is to iook at the enormous rise in the quotation of the common stock of the concern, wj^ch only a few years ago was a drug on the stock market. Now this common stock is selling for over $200 a share. Many persons may wonder why Mr. Rosenwald and Mr. Loeb, who are now in con- i trol, do not change the name of : the firm to Rosenwald, Loeb & 1 Co. A good guess is that Sears, Roebuck & Co. sounds more American and is a much greater asset in a business way than the change would be. With the increase of the weight of parcel post articles to twenty pounds, the rural carriers of the country, who will find their work much more laborious under the new order, should have a raise in salary. With one or two more raises in the package weights sent by mail the carriers will find a two-horse team necessary to deliver (the mails along their routes. "Lind Lands Safely," reads a headline. Would it not have been better to have put it "Lind Lands Lightly." Mrs# Caldwell Dies Suddenly. Mrs. Isabel Harris Caldwell, aged mother of Mrs. Robt. F. Grier, died suddenly Sunday morning at 7 o'clock at the home of the latter on Clebourn j street this city. . After services at the home by Rev. F. L. Glen-1 nan, the remains were accom-| panied to Charlotte on the evening train by Mr. and Mrs. Grior and John Erwin, a grandson, and were taken to the home of her daughter, Mrs. R. L. Erwin on West Eleventh street, j The interment took place Mon-j day morning at old Rocky River church, in Cabarrus county. Early last spring Mrs. Caldwell fell and fractured her hip but from this fall she had practically recovered and was able a few weeks ago to come on a visit to Mrs. Grier in this city. Sunday morning she awoke seemingly in her usual health and in excellent spirits but a short time afterward, while alone in her room for a few minutes, she was stricken with paralysis and death followed in a few minutes. Mrs. Caldwell, who was Miss Isabel Harris, was born in York county at the old Harris homestead in 1840 and was 73 years old. She was the daughter of i Hugh and Margaret Hemphill] Harris. In 1861 she was married toJ. Elam Caldwell, whose death occurred several years ago. To them were born the following! children, all of whom survive: Mesdames R. F. Grier, of Fort* Mill; Elva and M. J. Harris, of Albemarle; R. L. Erwin and E. G. Cochrane, of Charlotte, and Messrs. H. H Caldwell of i 1 T C r?..u 11 -e I a w 1 rv ailU ?J. l'j. V^cUUWt?ll Ul i Mecklenburg county. A part of! their married life was spent in Charlotte, but for a number of' years they lived in the county near Harrisburg, their place, "Aspen Home" being a synonym to friends and acquaintances for delightful hospitality. At the dealh of her husband, Mrs. Caldwell removed to Charlotte where she has since made her home with her daughters, Mrs. Erwin and Mrs. Cochrane. Lancaster Has Lady Editor.
