The town of Enid, Ok., receut i 3 Jy sccureci wwosprcuu {/uwirh, for a clever symbolical perform ance of "Buryiug the hammer" A mammoth hammer was pu into the ground, as a symbol o the spirit of dissension an< criticism that had interfere! with the progress of the town. Tins ill 1j performance has ; suggestion worthy of atlentioi right in our own community. Toe faculty of criticism is to> easy. It is one much affected L?. men of mediocre character, man lacking the slightest con structive ability often make very just criticisms. It takes i Shakespeare to write a grea play, but a cub reporter migh go to see the thing and find sour jo p 1 ;! iirs that the greatest o dram 115-sts failed to discover Usually this spirit of criticisn is a more dead weight on t.!i< commnuity. It dishearten t!:'i^ who have the power o lead- rsliip, and it fails t> substi T tit?' anything bet lor for lb faults complained of.

Scarcely a dav " passes but some young mau is r asking us to point out a field ol *' labor to him. With good attainr ment, perhaps, or an insatiadle 8 desire to be at work at something whereby an honest penny | may be turned, he finds himsell landed as if j* a* the first ; ebb of the t <. i: e '.;htest recession of me wu-tra deposits him on the shore among the weeds of idleness, and unwholesome vapors becloud his mind. There is scarcely a man in business but has an experience liue V our own; his young friends continually envying him the privi j lege of working in a well-defined 1 field, and wishing that, like him, 1 they had something to strick ] at. Thn?so vnniitr men arc <rcnct\-il | ly afflicted vviili the disease of ^ l ambition. They want to he 1 something1 more than common, and mistaking often their d-'sh*. n es for the ability to satisfy them, ^ they flatter themselves that the.v ^ are fit for something hotter than ' the common run of humanity. s Tueir g.eat fault is in trying to a achieve manhood without servt ing an apprenticeship to it. and * they find themselves, when they n should be prepared lor their life 1 work, wondering what will be, and Ire ling because it does n< t 1 declared i'self. and n nine cases '' out of ten wa'.ing iu vain for * such a call, go into politics, agen* cies, etc. The g? eat remedy f ?r all of t'lis isa 1 rude thoroughly learned.

It is singular how so many peo- ] pie will yell themselves hoarse ' rooting for the home ball team, who wouid not give a dollar to es ' r.ahlish a new industry here, nor would they bother to suggest to ( friends contemplating a removal that this would be a good town to live in. The intense partisanship manifested in any athletic sports in behalf of the home plasers indicates a large sentiment of home , loyalty. It is an unselfish senti- ( ment, excellent so far as it goes. The men on the bleachers do not get a nickel addition to their wages because home boys win. Of course in* some case the cheering men may have money on the game. Yet our observa' * - *- lis f A/\ Tf? / \ r lion IS UlHb bOC UCHUl 13 iuu .T.n-1 l ied to ^heer. It is the man who ' wants the home team to win from simple home loyalty that makes the noise. Why is it that this most com- j mendable sentiment is so abounding under such circumstances, < and so lacking when . there is > still more vital need for its expression? The cities that have grown pop ulous, powerful, wealthy, thit have become great centers of industrial life and cherished locations for residence, have become so because some small < group of men loved the soil of 1 those localities, longed to have i them true to high ideals, had faith in their future, had the self sacrifice to keep pulling all the time for business and civic ad- ' vance. And they had no time or breath to spend in mere criticism. 1 The mainspring of this action is a home patriotism differing only from that of the crowd at : the ball game, in havins a bigger field for its expression. We may not all of us do big things for this city. Not all of I us can be presidents of boards of 1 trade or land new industries. ; But if everyone of us took every 1 possible occasion to say ti.at this is a mighty good place to live i i and do hosiers?iw, a wide ! spreading circle of home patriot- ' .ism wonld be let loose the final i i reach of which would be incalcul- 1 ! able. < ' Every old Confederate soldier 1 who attended the Che raw demonstration, express themselves in unmeasured terms of the hos1 pitality and generosity of the j 1 Cheraw people, and say that j 1 never have they been treated bet- < f ter or more sumtuously enter- i tained.?Bennettsvilie Advocate, i 1 HE SHOULDN'T HAVE DONE IT J pom!

Young Beattio, who killed his wife, has given out an interview in which he says that the reason he was couvicted was because he didn.t have "an up-to-date jury." "I'll tell you, old boy," he is quoted as saying, "a fellow's up agaiust it when lie is to be tried b^a bunch of countrymen from the backwOods li>te those that tried me. I never had a chance from the beginning. They get married young, bring up big families, work around their farms. What do they know about a city or a city's life? What do they know about how easy it is for a young fellow nowadays to get mixed up with a girl like Beulah Binford? In a city?you newspaper men from the North all know this?it is almost itnpossiele for a chap with a little bit of money rud a motor car to avoid getting mixed up with! those women. He can't help it." 1 Thirteen-3rear old girls are-probably not so dangerous as Mr. Beattie would make it appear, rnd the good men and true whom he thus criticises are to be congratulated that they are the sort of men Mr. Beattie pictures them to be. But Mr. Beattie is quite correct when he suggests ^ that the parent who turns loose in a city a boy in his teens with at,bit of money in his-pocljet and a. motor car at his disposal, might as well consign him to the aevil and be done with it. If he doesn' land there in the end it will be a miracle.?The News lud Courier. Wain Against Continuing Dry.
