WHAT SUCCESS MEANS. Success, as applied to the career M a man or a woman, means, that an the long ago, he or she determined that, as success was his or her ambition, that he or she would attain it regardless of what else in this life they missed; and it means i that by the hardest of work and toil, and self denial running all throughj the years, they have kept success; always ahead as the only aim of life.' We are want to look upon the, successful man or woman not only! with feelings of pride in their achievements, but with a kind of impression that their attainments were reached without much effort by rea- j son of their extra amount of brain ' power, or by means of mere chance i or good fortune as it is often times! expressed. In the mind of the great! public there are all the reasons in1 the world for why the other man had gotten along rather than his "honest living and the application of what brain and power he or she possessed in the direction of accomplishment. We have often said that when a | young man, for instance, starts out' to make a way for himself in this!, life, that there are always but two roads open to him and he is per-, fectly free to choose either of them. I He has to begin with whatever ad-' vantages his parents have been able to endow him with. In the way j of gray matter he has what was allotted to him under the hidden but! nevertheless sure regulations of nature. In the way of wealth he has what his parents have left him orj have given him; or he has whatever of either of these things that he has been able to gather for himself while growing up. Now, there are the two roads: The one is the broad! and easy way of pleasure, while the other is the narrow and hard way! of industry and application to' a chosen end of life. We say be is] \... frfee to take either and he is. It is Tor him to choose whether he is to' be a drone in the affail's of men, do-! ing only lho*6 things which he must) .do .in order to exist and live to him-J self; or whether he will desire that ( <he will use to the very limit of his i powers those things which he has j to advance himself along the way I of usefulness and ultimate success. , There are those in every walk of! life who think they can succeed and at the same time take in the pleas-j ures of the world. Iiut nothing of| this sort was ever done. It will never be. He who is wed to what he A A \ 1 A I I 1 wants u> oo is me oniy one wno can do it. Two masters will not do in this as they will not in other things. The attention must be riveted on the main chance and not let loose to wonder. The gates of pleasure stand wide open at all times to lure the young man from paths of industry and wealth, to the rosy vnys of indolence and ultimate poverty and actual want. Thos who have attained success in this world have not done so by idleness.' They have done it by hard work anrl attention to their work or business. In no other way can a man advance and accomplish what he should, no matter what his calling may be. Therefore success in anything means that hard work has gone before. Those who expect to attain It without hard work and close application are bound to be disappointed. 1 gasoline drum rs1:n as still Destroyed Last Sunday Morn-' ing by Officers of the Law NO 0PERAT0R~C0ULD BE FOUND AT STILL Two Gallons of Moonshine and Soiu* Mash Turned Out Ai to Waste. * ' Officers were awake all of last Saturday night and watched near a whiskey still of the gasoline drum variety and of fifty gallon capacity, on land of Burrough & Collins Co., and near the residence of Mary Baker, a widow, and the home of Roy Ses-1 sions, not far from Conway. After watching all night without success in catching the operator they destroyed the still on Sunday morning, with two gallons of rum and 10.") gallons of sour mash. Officers had spotted this still some time ago. Thinking they might get the operator Saturday night, they went there and found a big fire under the still and a charge on, hut nobody present as operator. For this reason they hid and watched till Sunday morning, when the still was cut up and put out of business and the supplies on hand turned out to waste. There is no evidence to connect either Mary Baker or Hoy Sessions with the still, nor anybody else, as to that matter, officers giving up hope of arresting the owner of the still. It was evidently located on the land of Burroughs & Collins Co. without their knowledge, and perhaps for the purpose of hiding all the better the identity of the stiller. ************ i MARKETS : >???******#?

Cooper has resigned as > chairman of the county board of education and Charles B. Newcomb, a member, has been elected to succeed ( I him. While resigning as head of the j board, Mr. Cooper retains his mem- 1 bership. * Mr. Cooper recently accepted the 1 vice-presidency of a leading* Raleigh ( bank, and only a few days ago left ' Wilmington for the capital city to I assume his duties there. Since the 1 announcement that Mr. Cooper would 1 go to Raleigh there has been considerable. interest as to what de- ! v^lopments the change would bring about as regards his connection with : the board. \ Mr. Cooper's family will remain j here, it is understood, and he will 1 retain his residency in the Cape Fear city.?Wilmington (N. C.) Star. 1 (Mr. Cooper is well known in this j county, having made several visits here in times past.?Ed.) * o ? MEXICAN LAWS i OBJECTIONABLE < Washington.?The drastic nature I of the new Mexican petroleum laws , which menace American properties with seizure are emphasized in a ' summary appearing on the report relating to the treatment of American oil prospectors by foreign gov- : ermnents which has just been trans- ; mitted to the Senate by President Harding. It marks the first time * that the official text of the laws or any part of them has been made 1 public in this country. i no report at so reveais tne grave ' issue the enticement of the laws has raised between this country and Me\- ; ico, and which has served to further j complicate their relations. It discloses that the state department has made them the subject of "a solemn and repeated protest" in which the Mexican government has been warn- 1 ed that they "appear to threaten confiscation of extensive rights of ^ American citizens, and that, in the 1 face of such a danger, the government of the United States could not | remain insensible to the rights of its citir.ens." i The laws involved in the controversy were approved by President '' Carranza a few hours before his a-?- : sassination, and President Obregon, 1 his successor, saw fit to perpetuate them, though the United States portested vigorously. They specify generally the conditions and regulations under which the government may grant concessions in federal zones and contiguous territories for the development of petroleum and other mineral deposits. During the Huerta regime numer- ' ous concessions to exploit the fed- 1 eral zones were granted to Americans and other outsiders. One signed on the last day of his term, , the report declares, authorized tho extraction of any quantity of petroleum up to 20,000,000 tons annually from any zone. Now, it is pointed ' out, the Mexican government is in a , position to abrogate these concessions at will under the new laws, which provide that each "shall cover a definite tract of contiguous area." According to information reaching the state department, tho report states that the Mexican law defines federal zone as all land extending 20 meters in width on each side of a stream as far as the high tide mark and 10 meters in width above as far as it is navigable by rafts. Many American properties are located along these streams which are, a> the report points out, navigable by rafts during the wet season of the year. Thus, these lands automatically become part of the federal zone, although they are situated on channels that are nothing but dry beds most of the yea)*, and are placed at the disposition of the government. o IN Till-: SIMUNGTI>1K.
