THURSDAY. SEPT. 3rd. 1914Idleness
often leads to meanness.
* * *
Last week was hot enough for you.
* * * *
The other man always has the easiest
job.
* *
Tax money is the best investment
a people ever made.
* * * *
Often it is better to save time rather
than money.
* * *
With most men and women the loss
of time means nothing.
* *
There are no better men in the
world today than the wielders of the
hoe.
As the sunshine makes a clear day,
so will honest deeds make up a satYed
life.
? ?
The possibilities of this section of
the State as an agricultural region is
unlimited.
* * *
Truth crushed to earth will rise
again, but still again lies may smother
it down.
<
* * * *
He who brags the most about wa?*
is the one that will be first to run
away from it.
*
Worry never accomplished anything
yet except nervousness. Work
and not worry is the proper thing.
* * * *
You often have to listen to a line
of talk when you know that every
word in it is a lie.
* * ?
There is nothing in the world that
is better to keep a man out of mischief
than a regular job, or some trade or
profession.
* >?
There are some who fail when it
comes to standing up in the severe '
trials of life. One who can do it deserves
all the credit that he gets.
Many a time a man has been able
to patch up a questionable transaction
by telling a string of lies, but the
time surely came when he wished
from his heart that he had told the
truth.
9
When you find a man who thinks
that the whole world is honest and
straight,you may mark him down as
a good man, honest and true, but also
a very ignorant man.
* *
One of the worst things a poor man
can do it to mortgage his home to buy
an automobile. The mortgaging of
his home is bad enough, but it is
worse when after he has the machine
he spends all of the ready money he
can get in keeping it in repair and
buying gasoline and lubricating oil
to keep it on the go.
#
There is always a class of men in
every State who do not take any news
papers or magazines, and they will
not read a newspaper if it is sent to
thein free. It is such as those who
make the ambition of a certain class
of politicians possible. They Vote from
prejudice and not for the good of the
county. When such men get an idea
fixed in their minds it is next door to
an imposibillty to ever gen that idea
dislodged.
* *
While all of the men in Europe
will be fighting the enemy on the attle
fields, the women and children will
be at lfcome fighting to keep starvation
away from the door. When you come
to think of it, war is a very foolish
thing. It is nothing at all but legal- j
ized murder on a large scale.
* * *
No man should ever bo satisfied in
this lifo unless he fs making progress
to something higher and better. The
farmer should strive every year to
produce larger and bettor crops than
he ever did before, the professional
should endeavor by his increased experience
to make his success more
pronounced year by year. Just so in every
other calling, trade, or avocaion,
there should bo a desire expressed
in actual work to excel 1 not only the
record of others in the same business,
but to oxcell the record made by the
individual himself.
* * *
The war in Europe will ho used in
many different ways as an excuse for .
raising pi ices. The government went ;
to work recently to investigate the <
rapid rise in the prices of the neces- <
saries of life, and it was stated on
good authority that many things had
jumped up in price without any just1
reason for it except the greed of those!
who had the commodities to sell. They
used the war as an excuse to raise
prices and get rich.
* ? *
We admire the man in the up-country
who had always supported Colen

he had asked for, until he ran for the
United States Senate; and then his
former supporter came out in a long
letter to the York Sun and stated the
reasons why he would not support
Blease any longer. In short the reasons
were that he had his eyes opened
by reason of what he learned through
the vigorous fight made against
Blease by Pollock and Jennings; and
his letter to the Sun was signed "a
disgusted Bleaseite." We always admired
the man who was willing to acknowledge
his error when convinced
of his mistake.
* * *
THE REASON WHY.
One of the most amusing things in
the world is to hear the reasons given
by a lazy man as to why he has not
attended to certain work. The rea- |
sons are many in hot weather. The '
lawyer lets the old case remain unheard
in the pigeon hole where it was
placed in the Spring. Oh Well! There
was nothing in the old case anyway.
It is still on the docket however. The
doctor finds it to be a dull season. His
library may be full of new books
which he might read with profit to
himself and that of his patients. Then
too there is the old chronic case that
has been pestering him for days and
nights through the past several
months, maybe years. He might get
after it during this dull season, study
out a new plan and maybe land the ,
man or woman on the way to final recovery.
But it is so hot, and there is
no pay in it anyway. Watch the
farmer. He is one who cannot even
pretend to stop on account of hot
weather. All the world knows that
the hot weather is the time when his
crops are growing the most, and he
hardly ever refers to the heat as an
excuse for rest. Not so with the
rains. He has to leave the fields and
go indoors when it rains. There is
really no excuse for the farmer remaining
idle during the showers, for
he knows as well as we do that there
are repairs on the inside of the barn
to make, rat holes to be stopped up,
corn to shuck and shell, and a thousand
other things. But the old saying
is to the effect that more rain brings
more rest, and the farmer generally
rests while it rains. Excuses, excuses
every day, nothing but excuses all
of tho vpnr ftrniin/1 vmi Vioof
^ -4WW..MJ JVl. llVlUlllf,
else from morning until night but excuses
for some necessary work not
having been accomplished.
When on earth will we ever be relieved
from this everlasting curse of
-4$
excuses. Some people are .so prone s
to find excuses, that they would make i
an apology for being found in Hea '
ven. If it were not for the r-xcuses <
the >work accomplished in thus worh <

RABIUIH AND DOG-DAYS .. ]
. .The canning of the "dog-days,** ?*-{ <
pecially jif the season happens *to!; 1
bring wifla .it one or more prolonged, j
heated periods, attracts the attention 1
of the public generally much more to 1
the danger frwm rabies than do defi
nite reports of (the spread of the dis- 1
ease at other st&sons of the year,
which ought to grouse solicitude, i
Boards of aldermen, city councils and ]
town officials of other kind wake up 2
from the most absolute lethargy with 1
regard to the disease at this time, ?
and, especially in the smaller towns i
and country places, pass ordinances 1
and revive regulations requiring dogs 1
to be muzzled while on the streets. 1
This is all the more amazing because 1
the term "dog-days" has no reference c
to dogs, but is borrowed from the Romans,
who called Sirius, the brightest *
of the lixed stars, the dog-star. At <one
time during the Roman epoch, the j 5
rising of this star coincided with the ^f
rising of the sun in the latter part of
July. The twenty days proceeding 1
and the twenty days following this jc
conjunction were for the Romans dies 1
eanis, the days of the dog?or the dog 1
star. Rome had its fiercest heats us- I c
illll'ino" < li ic noi'inil 4-1..-. I
,1 V>V<I VI uu j;vuvil| WICI t'HIH.', lilt" |
time was dreaded and came to have J
the reputation of an unhealthy sea- (
son, though not with any special ref- (
erence to the dogs of Rome. In our 1
day the popular meaning of the "dog- 1
days" is that dogs are especially like- 1
ly to go mad at this time. The con- 1
sequence is that, while the animals (
are made uncomfortable by nose muz- i
zling, their discomfort is greatly add- 1
ed to by the foolish dread which, keeps 1
people from giving them water or *
caring for them properly. Rabies may (
occur at any season of the year; the ,
actual statistics show greater frequen 1
cy of the disease during the winter
|
than during the summer months. It
is most common in the early spring,
and March and April would be a much
better time to select for "dog-days"
in the popular sense than the weeks
of July and August that have by mis<
apprehension come to be looked on as ^
the special period of danger. I
The recent Seattle epedemic shows
how much of real danger there is .
from this disease when it gains a
foothold because of the neglect of j
proper precautions. Surgeon Lloyd ^
of the Public Health Service recently ^
reported that up to the beginning of ,
June there had been 361 cases of ca- (
nine rabies in the city of Seattle since j
the outbreak of the disease began in ,
September, 1913. Up to this the dis- ]
ease had not been observed in Seattle.
This is what may occur practically
anywhere in this country if the infrequency
of the disease begets overconfidence
and neglect. Although we
disapprove the infliction of unnecessary
suffering on animals, says The (
Journal of the American Medical Association,
the popular dread of dogs .
during the misunderstood dog-days ,
affords to physicians an educational
opportunity too good to be lost. This
is the time when they may profitably
emphasize the need for special precautions
with regard to the spread of
rabies. The problem of the control of
rabies is mainly the care of stray animals
and of those who have no prop- (
er owner, but live more or less on the
bounty of the community. Careful '
registration of animals and the destruction
of those for which no one ;
would assume responsibility would
greatly limit the disease. The problem
is simpler in England, but the
success in practically obliterating the
disease for the last twenty years in
that country shows what can be accomplished.
We need intelligent, 1
persistent scientific interest to prevent
the spread of the disease and not
the annual attack of hysteria that inflicts
cruelty without accomplishing
any good purpose.
? C
WHY NOT STILL IMPROVE?
Some years ago the extensive use
to which the automobile is now put
was hardly dreamed of by the most
sanguine of the men who were .'la burI
ing to perfect it. In the first place it
i
was hard to invent an engine propeU?d
by gasoline by means of interna* ,
combustion, that was speedy, safe and j
above all, reliable, and one that would j
run indefinitely when supplied with
the fuel and lubricating oiL The mat- j
ter of transmission bothered very
much in the development of ?hesc vehicles.
It took so much time and mon
ey to complete the first crude affairs
that right here the inventors found
great difficulty in seeing how the muter
driven vehicle could ever amount
te much among the general masse?
who would not be able to spend a fortune
to buy one.
r irst one and then another little
improvement was thought out by the
liar<1est, and the engine, the transmission
of its power, the correct assembing
of all the parts going to make a
successful and speedy machine, were
ill accomplished and the result is the
ilmost universal use of the automobile
today. The price of the automobile
has been constantly going down,
intil now they are within the reach
>f nearly all classes. But while the
lutomobile has been greatly improved,
and you see a much better ma hine
now than those formerly made,
still there is one great thing that is
ibsolutely needed to make the autouobile
what it ought to be if it is to
be successfully run by any and all
elasses of men. So far it has been
mpossible to make a gasoline engine
hat would run very long without be cming
clogged in the cylinders with
arbon. The close regulation of tlu
too/oI l UA r? u/l iliA n 1 lii?i r\ n im< < f % r
^ ciovs & 11 ciuvi txiv an k/i iii^O cl I l L l v
lean combustion, but there is a proluct
left in the cylinders and on the
liston heads that will not go out at
:he exhaust pipe. This accumulation
n the course of a week or two, or at,
most about every thirty days,, will
?ause the engine to knock and lose its
power, and finally it will stop until it
s given a good cleaning. What they
want to study for therefore is to mod?1
an engine that will will take care
if the carbon itself and dispose of it
without injury, automatically, as it
runs, or if that cannot be done, make
the engine so that any ordinary person
unskilled in mechanics, with the
aid of a few instructions, may clean
the engine without risk in a few minites
of time. Then as the valves and
ither small parts of the engines will
wear out and need renewing, as they
ire now made, study out plans for
making these parts so that they can
ie made to last indefinitely by readjustment.
This latter is being done
n some machines much more comph
^ated than tho gasoline engine, and
it certainly could he done for the automobile
engine. When ail this shall
riavc been done the manufacturer can
sell a customer an automobile that he
:an keep up himself at little or no expense.
The first cost of the machine
will not soon be more than doubled
by bills sent in from the repair shop.

TRIBUTE OF RESPECT. ]
WHEREAS, It hath pleased Al-= .
mighty God to remove from the scene (
Of his worldly labors our friend and
brother, Dr. Evan Norton, who for
; more than forty years was an official
[ cf this church: trustee, chairman of j
, the board of stewards, and superin- ]
[ tendent of the Sunday school, be it <
hereto re c
RESOLVED, That we bow in sub- (
mission to the divine will, and rover- ?
ently thank God that Dr. Norton was ^
permitted to live out his allotted days p
and to 'leave the world better by rea- r
son of his having been a pilgrim and ^
a sojourner here. c
1 RESOLVED, Second, That the Con- t
way Methodist Episcopal Church. c
South, in this way pl\ice on reeord \
the high esteem in which Dr. Norton e
was held, nnd fho rhll^'e
of his life and labores. t
In early manhood he answered the j
call of his state for volunteers, and ^
followed the Confederate Flag as an ^
humble private in the cavalry branch t
of the service until it was furled at i
Appomattox. He believed in the p
righteousness of the cause for which j
he fought and to the day of his death jj
was loyal in thought and speech to c
the ideals of the old South, and proud r[
of her history and traditions. s
After the war he studied medicine (|
and came to Conway more than forty a
years ago and began his course as a ,,
"country doctor," than whom there p
has been no nobler class of men. n
In his profession he was skilled ?n
no ordinary degree, and yet without s
that pride of opinion that sometimes
make otherwise great men weak. t
He practiced for rich and poor n
alike, and often took for his recom- (.
pense tlie consciousness of duty done. ]j
He was a man of high ideals and
clear convictions. There was never ^
(IfMlllf (IC f.> 11.^.
U>3 n; T? IICIC IH nmuil. IIJJ (J
attitude was unawed by influence and s
unbribed by gain. He was not afraid
to take a position, and ho always c
stood for the right as he saw it. v
No man who has ever lived in this s
country has tilled a larger place. Ilis jgentleness
made him great. He will j,
be missed in Church and State, and in s
the various walks of life he had en- t
tered. \
Encomium is not necessary. His
last utterance to his Sunday school j
only a few weeks before his death was
an epitome of his belief. He said:
"The only life worth living is a life
hid with Christ in God." It was not a
choice bit of rhetoric, a csrap of phil- *
osophy, or an old man's musing. It
was the testimony of one who has *
traveled long and far with Jesus as
his friend, and while about to step ^
over the great divide paused long f
f
enough to fling back a word to those ^
he loved.
Peace to his ashes! Honor to his (
memory!
RESOLVED, Third, That these res- *
olutions be inscribed on the minute- (
book of the Conference, and copies be
furnished to the public press.
