THURSDAY. AUGUST 21. 1913.
Preparing for Trouble.
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

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.
