As the Boys Come Home.
5 % J
The man who is not moved to
the depths of his soul, as he
stands on the curb arid sees the
boys 1 march by. our boys who
have* faced death and hell and
horror of the trenches, is?a stolid
piece of case-hardened, cold
steel. Bring out the brass band,
strew the streets with flowers,
festoon the homes and stores.
Heroes are coming home with
laurels on their brows and man
stuff in their eyes. Grim forms
go tramping by. The flag waves
over the heads of men reborn
in the fighting furore. Bibbon
counter clerks and cattle driving
farmers, home nursed and school
bred boys, factory hands and delivery
drivers are striding by.
bearing guns which have spouted
death but given life and liberty
to the world. They swing past
with the stride *>f martial manhood.
They are coming home
to firesides that are dear to them
% in the the tenderness of men
eager for love and hungry for
caress. War is over, carnage is
ended and life with its sweetness
is before them. The terror of
of death is past and life is palpitating
with the hope of the resurrection
mom. Welcome the
men with all the love and gratitude
and glory and praise of victors.
They are our sons. Can
we dp too much for them? They
are of the stuff that will not be
satisfied to be professional heroes,
nor will they call for pedestals,
or preferments. They
are coming home to their places
again in the clothes of citizens
and to grace our firesides
and fill our offices, eager to
take their place again in the
world as men. They will have
their old jobs back again and ask
nothihg but a fair chance to
achieve. This country is bursting
with pride for them. Let
our hearts speak without fear
that we may say too much or do
too much for those who have
trod the wine press and whose
garments are red with their own
blood, and whose veins are coursing
with the rich warm hope of
youth. No army comes home
cleaner, manlier and less unspoiled.
How we love and how
we ahopld honor them! Some
are bearing wounds, all have
endured hardships and made heroic
sacrifices.

This, the Simple Life.
The inexpensive film recrea- -
tion has endeared Itself to the
common peoples, for it is the
life of the world reproduced in
motion. There has been a "get i
? acquainted" quality to the
"movies" that nothing hereto- 1
fore has equaled in value, for it 1
has been essentially human food 1
for human minds. One-hi lf of j
the world had always hankered
to know how the other half' ,
lives. Along came the "movie"
with "Behold! See what you ]
have heard, read or imagined, j
I am a medium of education." i
There are many non-believers <
in the "movies." Offsetting 1
them are those people who have 1
seen and believed and become 1
even better informed in current j
happenings than such non-be- |
lievers as minimize the value of I (
the "movies." For informing ,
quality there is about as much i
difference between the legitimate 1
stage ana the movies" as <
between the door-stopper oat <
and a yowling pussy. The best <
argument for the "movies" is |
that the people like them. ty l

It cannot be said that the
United States Congress does not
"slop over at times." The press
related a few days ago how the
passage of a resolution giving
MrsJ| Roosevelt a pension of
$6,000 a year passed both houses
like a greased onign. On another
page of the'paper it was recorded
that the ex-President carried
$65,000 life insurance and
that the insurance companies
had paid the policies without
even awaiting the usual proofs
of death. It is to be hoped
that Mrs. Roosevelt will find
room in the safety vault to stow
away the $5,000 government
money as it comes in each
year.
The legislature of South Carolina
could save the taxpayers
many thousands of dollars each
year by the abolition of the
offices of county farm demonstrators
and canning club agents.
Not one in ten of the farmers
pay any attention to the advice
of the college-bred instructors,
and the housewife who does not
know how to can tomatoes and
otner vegetaDies is hardly deserving
the name. The money
paid these instructors could, in
our opinion, be used in several
ways that would prove a lot
more profitable to the people
who have to pay it.
Will Demobilize at Sevier.
A Washington dispatch of
Saturday to The State says that
Senaler Simmons, of North
Carolina, called upon the war
department with inference to
the return of the Thirtieth
Division and was informed that
ail possible haste is being made
in getting the men of this
division ready for their homeward
trip. He was informed
that not only had these men
been asked to various cities in
South Carolina but that North
Carolina and Tennessee were
asking for them.
In this view of the situation,
they will probably go to Greenville
after they have been debarked
at Charleston. In fact,
Senator Simmons was practically
assured on this point. General
March informed the North Carolina
senator that the war department
officials were as anxious
as the men of the Thirtieth'
themselves and their friends for
them to be at home again and
that everything consistent with
the situation was being done
towards this end.

Piaeville Stores Robbed.
Two robberies occurred in
Pineville Friday night The
general merchandise store of
W. A. Yandle & Company were
both burglarized between midnight
and day and reports from
the two -stores indicated that a
big amount of booty had been
secured by the robbers.
Mr. Yandell's store was found
standing open early Saturday I
morning, and he went at once
to investigate. He immediately i
notified the sheriff's office in
Charlotte and Deputy Victor
Fesperman left for Pineville
with bloodhounds.
The robbers varied the usual
robbery story when they got
inside the Yandell store, by
removing their old clothing and
ionning new suits and outfits,
robing themselves with a complete
suit of clothing, with shoes j
and other articles of wearing
apparel. The old clothing was
ell in the store and this it is
believed will afford a valuable
:lue in the chase that has
started.

loser by the robbery, Mr. YanJall

question of fretting up the
stock/' said Mr. Cobb last night.
"We could easily raise $200,000
but*we want only $60,000, and
the problem ia in the distribution
of it. Many people want rpore

are under the embarrassment of

want the stock distributed as

TOOTH TALKS.
By On. A. L. OTT.
If I should tell a father or
mother: "you do not love your
child^ you are letting it go day
by day carrying in its body
something that threatens its
whole future health and happiness,
and even now endangers
life," I would call down their
wrath uoon my head. Everoone
would say it was false.
But let us look into conditions
and see if it is false.
In the examination of over one
hundred mouths of the school
children, I did not find a single
perfectly healthy mouth. In
decayed teeth; some with dead
norvos nnrl infaAtad T
aav* VWW M*IV> illAVVVVUi JL XVI111U
from one to twenty cavities.
This is indeed a deplorable
condition, but no worse than in
other communities. For a boy
or girl to 'develop mentally,
morally and physically, as the
Divine Creator intended, it is
absolutely essential that the
health be good.
It is superflous to say that
with decayed teeth and a diseased
mouth one cannot have
good health, it is impossible to
say what one infected tooth will
cause in the way of disease.
When you allow your child to
start the journey of life with a
mouth full of dead and decayed
teeth, you have failed in your
most sacred duty to your offspring.
You are exposing them
to dangers rrore deadly and
devastating than the world wai
or the epidemic of "flu" that is
on us now.
