i CONFIDENCE BUILDING %
* *
**************************
Confidence is a great thing:. Without
it no manner of trust will be reposed
in anybody or anything.
We speak here of the confidence
and faith that men may, or may not
have in their fellows, and the faith
fiul confidence thbt men may have,
or may not have in the ultimate good
that will be attained by us after the
things of this earth are done with.
So far as con i l'mce and trust to be
placed in humankind, we usually have
the most confidence in the honest
man. An honest man hay be*n said
to be the noblest work of God. Tin's <
was doubtless said because honest
men are more like the Creator of all
mankind, than the dishonest sort. '
Once we know and feel that one of 1
our fellows is honest we do not hesi- :
tate to place in his hands, when the i
need arises, the most sacred of trusts. ?
Speaking further of an honest man,
we know him to be a thing of sub- ;
stance. You cannot make anything
out of an honest man except an hon- t
est man, no matter how hard you try. i
On the other hand a man that is dis- I
"honest, cannot be otherwise than a ]
rogue. A rogue he is now and a ;
rogue ne aiways win he. The hest i
kind of security in the world is r>n <
honest man. His name behind a
note is better than real estate put up .
by a rascal. Anybody had rather \\
have the word of an honest man than \
the bond of one that is dishonest. (
Here is the reason for faith and con- ]
fidence that backs up those who have ]
honest he,arts, and who, instead of <
falsehood and pretense, radiate truth. ]
This faith in an honest man is akin ?
to the faith that the Christian feels (
that no matter how dark the clouds \
may Rather in the earthly valleys, ]
there is a bright sun shining above \
it all and that the future will be different.
j
Business that succeeds in this world j
must be built 011 honesty and fair
dealing. Those who manage to cheat j
and defraud in order to make money, j
may have a seeming success for a
time. Their prosperity never is last- j
ing. To amount to anything worth j
while their business structure must (
have honesty for its foundation, or (
else the house of cards will come ^
tumbling to the ground and great will (
be the fall thereof. t
One of the most important lessons \
to be learned by the young man just \
starting out to make a way for him- (
self, relates to the way in which he \
shall conduct himself in this respect.
One act of fraud in the beginning may
hlast his entire career. On the other
hand, if he understands this lesson he ?
will act honestly and truthfully both <
as to word and as to act. From an j
humhle beginning he will build up a ,
character that will stand the test of <
all time. (
Let the young man learn the im- ,
portance of going straight from the ,
very first. It was said in olden time ;
that a woman must be above suspic- i
ion. The same is true of a man's (
life and manner of making a living.
It must not onlv be honest in the business
sense of that term, but it was to
be above suspicion of dishonesty and
evil practice.
Who builds on dishonesty and sharp
pi*actice builds on sand. His structure
will not withstand the assaults
of time, but it must go down and carry
the inmate with it.

employment are small as compared
to the effort that it takes to produce

WASHINGTON COMMENT
The Prince of Wales, heir to the
English Throne, has been installed as
Senior Grand Warden of the Grand
Lodge of England. Were it only an
estimable and pleasant young man
who was thus honored, the matter
would be of no special importance.
But the heir to the British Throne is
not permitted to follow his own will
and bent as he pleases; he may never
forget, in playing the man, that he is
llso Princp of t.hp Rpsilnv
It should he a sufficient answer to
my of the detractors of the Order of
Freemasonary that the President of J
:his great Republic is a Freemason;
Lhat many of his predecessors have
)een Freemasons, and that the first
President, Washington, was not only
i Freemason, but devoted his time
md attention to the order, and became
Master of his lodge.
But for those whose admiration
md veneration are given more to
;hose who rule by hereditary right
than those who win the power by
their own abilities and the will of the
majority, the fact that the future
King of England becomes a Senior
GJrand Warden of the English Grand
Lodge of Freemasonary, should be
ill sufficient proof that the diatribes
lirected against Freemasonary by
those who are its enemies and who
enow not whereof they speak, are but
Culminations of minds untutored.
Freemasonary stands for patriotsm,
for law and order, for fear and
ove of God, without regard to church
>r creed, for charity, for toleration,
yor brotherly love and relief of distress,
for education, for freedom; in
>ther words, for the ideals of all enightened
and civilized nations. 1 hat
the future ruler of a great country
thus takes his place officially in the
jrand Body of the order, obviously
vith the consent and encouragement
>f the rulers of Great Britain, should
make those who slander the order
"or their own ends pause to wonder
f the Masonic virtues of silence and
circumspection are not ones which
hey had better cultivate.
Statistics published by the health
service of the American Red Cross
show that deaths among- children of
school age due to accidents are proportionately
much larger than among
Dither young children or older persons.
Out of each 1,000 deaths of
children between the ages of five and
nine. 1(57 are due to accidents; of
children between ten and fourteen,
177 are due to accidents. In proportion

among adults are quite small.
No parents need to be told that the
most valuable possessions they have
are their children. But it appears
that there is great need for some
power to instill into the minds of
civil authority the conviction that the
most valuable asset the state possesses
is its children.
Accidents do not "happen." There
is a cause for every accident. Particularly
is this true of traffic accidents,
which are assuming alarming
proportions in the larger centers. Of
what use is it to the municipality or
the state in spending large sums in
educating a child to grow up to L>e a
rood citizen if it permits him to be I
killed by an automobile before he
becomes an economic factor in the
;ommunity life?
Cities and traffic bureaus search
madly for remedies for traffic accidents;
"safety weeks" are proposed,
debated, held; new and more drastic
traffic rules are formulated and more
or less enforced; more severe penalties
are inflicted by judges for driving
recklessly, but the accidents continue.
It would seem that the engineering
brains which built a Panama Canal,
took two million men to Europe in
the face of submarines, and built and
perfected the largest railroad and
telephone systems in the world, might
solve this problem, too. But \vhile
the remedy is left in the hands of
policemen to formulate, 110 matter
how interested or willing, or while
the answer to the problem is given
into the hands of aldermen, mayors,
and leading citizens, no matter how
well-meaning, we will still continue
tr kill our children.
Traffic accidents to the young is a
subject of national concern, state concern,
city and town concern, of such
gravity and magnitude that their prevention
deserves the consideration of
rhe very best minds in the country.?

TOWN OBSERVES h
THE ARMISTICE
Herald Expected to Publish
List Not Brought
in Time
FRIDAY INSTEAD SATURDAY
Armistice Day Will not Be
Made a National Holiday,
Says Harding
It appears to be settled that Nov- ;
ember 11th, now known as Armistice
D.ay, will not be made a national holi- i
day by the law of the land. Presi- -I
dent Harding said that he thought
the country had enough legal holidays
already without making still
another.
The Herald agrees with him in this (
opinion, although disagreeing with j
him in a number of other things. '
In Conway last week, for a time, ^
the people seemed to be uncertain as |
to whether they would observe the
day. Then there was an agreement '
carried around to be signed by the j
merchants and business men agreeing ]
^o close their places of business on j
Friday, November 10th, instead of (
observing Saturday, November 11th. .
One merchant declared that he ^
signed this instrument with the dis- 1
tinct understanding that the agree- .
ment and list of signers wouM be
published in the newspapers in ad- (
vance of the closing of the stores on
Friday, so that the farmers would not (
come to Conway on that day expecting
to trade at the stores and probably
attend to other matters of business.
The Herald looked for this list of
names up to the time of going to press
on last Wednesday afternoon but the
list was not brought in and the paper
came out without it.
In the meantime the fact was advertised
on the town bulletin board
that Friday would be observed as
Armistice Day.
It would appear that much less in- 1
terest is shown in the day as a holiday,
an ever decreasing1 amount of
interest, ever since the first anniver- :
sary of the event. At that time the 1
enthusiasm had hardly cooled and in
all parts of the country, November
11th was marked hy the closing- of
business and general celebration of 1
the victory of our bovs in the World
War.
We would favor the markings of
the day in some way that will keep 1
the sentiment of the occasion fresh
in the recollection of th? people, but
we already have a national holiday ]
in November, and November is fol- :
lowed by December in which month
we have another holiday. The addition
of another holiday beyond those
we already have is taking too much

BIGGESTYIELI)
OF POTATOES
To the Editor of the News and
Courier: I have just read an account
in The News and Courier where Mr.
W. H. Mixon raised on his Rerndale
farm, fourteen pounds of sweet potatoes
from one hill, but I think that
Allendale County has the banner
yield. Mr. J. J. Owens, Allendale, S.
CJ., Allendale County, raised from one
hill twenty-nine pounds of sweet potatoes.
One of these potatoes weighed
sixteen pounds, there were three
more from this hill weighing thirteen
pounds, making a total of twenty-nine
pounds of sweet potatoes
from one hill.
Would like to hear from another
county on sweet potato question.
The above hill of potatoes was dug
5n September 8th, 1922.
Yours very truly,
A. f. Allen,
C. C. Reeves,
R. M. Hanison,
Allendale, November 3rd.

LARGE POTATO
One of the largest potatoes ever
exhibited in Conway was brought in
last week from the farm of E. D
Causey, of Martin's Hill. This sample
weighed eight pounds and came
from a patch of several acres from
which Mr. Causey expects to harvest
un average of two hundred bushels
per acre.
This year he planted the Porte
