need to learn much that is not taught fully in books.
o
In the lives of many people pleasure makes up nine tenths or
it.
o
The worst man in creation may not be found inside the penitentiary.
u
The man who finds pleasure in his iwork will be hard to get
to leave it.
O
The actual work of the world is done by those who stick at it
while others lose their time in pursuit of pleasure.
o
The successful farmer is the one who will spend his savings
in making his farm better and not in buying more automobiles.
o
Everything that we have and enjoy in this world in the way
of material things is the result of the labor and sweat of somebody
else.
o
Rubber is the easiest thing to stretch. 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. Many learn,
out of schools, more than those in school can possibly acquire, because
the outsiders happen to have a keener desire for knowledge
and they work hard to get it.
o >?
Germany must pay for the damage that was done in the war
"That country has been trying to evade it and will continue to
try to evade it. The way to do is just like France is doing, make
them keep their obligations in one way or another.
o
Some men are not satisfied in keeping anything. Money is of
no value if they cannot spend it. This class want nothing that
cannot be turned into money easily and quickly. With them
money, and the spending of money, is the only thing.

There is not a doubt in my mind of the fact that the troubles
at the penitentiary are more fancied than real. 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

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. William:

Williamson had made a mortgage to
the Richardson-Collins Company. 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.

Holden has a wife and five children.
He is a member of the Tabernacle c<
church in Marion County. He lived ai
in that county all of his life until a w
few years ago he leased this farm ^
from Henry Buck, a Marion attorney, H

since that time.
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

ful possession where he is trying to

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.
