That other things will not stretch so easily seems to be forgotten in the actual experience of life. o The best teacher is the one who can awaken in the mind of the pupil a desire to acquire knowledge and thus cause self efforts to begin their work. o Considering the program that has been laid out for the common schools of this State, there will never be enough money to back it up, it matters not what we do. o As we have said before, we believe in sticking to the job and doing all that can be done, within reason, and in getting ahead as much as possible; but we could never see any reason for trying to outrun the whole universe. o Education comes from a deep desire to learn.

This whole matter has been run away on sentimentality. Men who have thought just a little too much in the misty realms of mind over matter, autosuggestion, and the idea of predisposition to crime, have become overzealous in regard to the way in which prisoners should he treated and they have without a doubt interfered just a little too far in things which belong to others. The result is an investigation by a committee of the Legislature. In the course of it they have examined all of the directors, the superintendent of the pen and the captain of the guard. The result of the investigaton will be nothing more that should be expected under the circumstances. It will get us nowhere. True, they may cause a shake-up in the ranks of the officers and guards and it may cause new men to be placed ir charge, but even that will have no result in relieving the greai problem and the great suffering over which men are losing sleep WVi io * U ~ i? i- : 1 _ii ii ? * **.i?*, 10 tuc mctt ueiuna an mis anyway Y lake a man or * woman, either, who has committeed a heinous crime or crimes In every way the criminal has proved that he or she is unfit t< live in decent society; in fact they are dangerous to be allowec to go at large.

Williamson Fails to Attend Court Hearing TEW ACRES FOR FORTY Party Had Mortgaged Same Tract Before' and it Was Sold The case of the Farmers & Merchants Bank, of Tabor, N. C., against G. T. Williamson and others was wound up last week when there was sold at the court house a narrow strip of land containing about ten acres, when it was thought by the plaintiff when they purchased a mortgage on it, that the lines covered a tract of forty acres, more or less. The case originated when G. T. Williamson made a mortgage to J. B Norris on September 9th, 1920, foi the sum of $600, the mortgage purporting to cover a tract of forty acres more or less, giving the metes anc bounds in such a way that it appeared that this mortgage to Norris reallj covered the land that it claimed t< cover. Norris sold the mortgage to the bank, or rather placed it as collatera security for a debt there, and"wher the mortgage was not paid the banl went ahead and foreclosed it. All attempts to get G. T.

He I did not pay the Richardson-Collins l Company and they foreclosed and bought in another tract of forty acres, which upon examination of the lines, appeared to be almost the same tract of land which Williamson hud since mortgaged to Norris. This first mortgage, and the deed thereunder mode, was first recorded and, of course, would take what it covered regardless of the loss that might be sustained by Norris. A day was set for the hearing of the matter under the foreclosure of the Norris mortgage, and G. T. Williamson was asked to attend and explain how it all came about, but he did not attend and the court ordered a sale of what little land was in this second mortgage to Norris. A survey was made by D. Sandford , Cox, and his plat shows that the lines of the Norris mortgage are only a i little broader two ways than the lines in the Richardson-Collins papers and that there is but about ten acres of land to be left to the Norris claim.

He is a member of the Tabernacle c< church in Marion County.

HoMen was advised by the authorities that he had a right to protect his . home from any who might try to invade his premises; that no one has any right to order him to get out of the county, much less to try to back up threats as the letter would indi- , cate they would aim to do. Holden said, according to reports, that he will not heed this notice; that any person who will undertake to interfere with him will do so at his or their own peril, as he expects to be prepared at all times. Was this letter written by the Ku Klux Klan ? Holden does not have any idea that the writer of the missive is connected with the Klan in any respect whatsoever. He believes that it originated with some one who is his enemy there in the community. He wants the members of any regularly organized Klan in this territory to take the matter up and make an investigation to see who it is that would presume to use the initials of the Klan to intimidate him. He would be glad if the members of the Klan, whoever they are, and wherever they are, would make a test case of this incident to see if outsiders have any right to use the insignia of the order to run people out of the county. ? Holden appears to be a reasonable man, and is a man of reasonable coolness and firmness. He stands alone on his rights. He makes no dare in tl the matter. He simply says thaj,, he tl is a free-born American citizen, liv- J ing on lands of which he has the law- h ful possession where he is trying to make an honest living for himself and f v.;* tr- * ? - * ...o iuiivo. iic cuinioL see any motive I in wanting: to moveohim from his present situation unless it is that the large tract of land, of which he is the tenant, would become vacant and a s prey to hunters and trappers without limit. TAX DEPUTIES COME HERE Two deputy collectors, Messrs. C. S. Lucas and T. W. Roper, will be in Conway on March 1st, for the purpose of assisting any who may apply in the making out of their income tax returns. The Collector desi?es to impress on the public the fact that there is a penalty for the failure to file returns where due, and that returns are due in a large number of cases, even though there may be no tax liability. All single persons whose income equals or exceeds $1,000, and if married $2,000, are renuived tn file a return, even if they have exemptions that would render such return non-taxable. ' Some misapprehension has existed , on this line in the past, and attention ; is accordingly directed thereto so that the public may avoid being penalized later for failure to file such a j return. Where any doubt exists in i the mind of anv oen as to thoiv li/ihil ity they should call upon one of these' deputies visiting their community;*: where they will he able to receive the proper information. o Rain began to fall again last Monday morning.
