THE HOBBLE SKIRT, NOT MORE
ATTRACTIVE
By Solon Hume Bryan
Os the Alkahest Lyceum Bureau.
In the early days of the settlement
of our country there came to the
Piedmont section of North Carolina
a group of Moravians, seeking a clime
where they could w ork and worship
according to the dictates of their
own conscience. It is said in the few
pages of history which Uncle Sam’s
people have managed to muster to
gether that this privilege was not
very freely accorded the people of the
old world in those days, and that
many of the people who braved the
dangers and h ardships attending life
in pioneer days of our country did
so in order that they might pray
when and where they pleased. And
I dare say that the inspiration for
praying was good. Not only did
Nature, beautiful because yet un
touched by the destructive forces of
civilization invite the devout soul to
communion with its Creator, but the
Nudian in his savage love for blood
also was occasion for prayer for pro
tection from his ruthless hand.
I never visit Winston-Salem and
the territory around it, that I do not
mentally comment on the splendid
judgment of those who chose this
section as an abiding place. I wish I
could have seen it then—as Nature
made it. ’Tis pretty now, but what
must it have been then! The hills
as they roll away toward the sea,
broken here and there with limped
streams, attract the eye and create
interest in a country so naturally
beautiful. The hobble skirt broken
with a slit which rolls away sufficient
ly to expose the graceful form of
beautiful limbs, certainly cannot be
more attractive, though I must admit
that the young women descendents of
of the early Moravian settlers of
Winston-Salem are not bad to look
upon.
The old town was called Salem, and
out there we find many evidences of
a former generation. The architect
ure in particular speaks of a past

Get a twenty-five cent box of Tyree’s
Antiseptic Powder from any drug store or
direct from the manufacturer, sprinkle
some into the shoes or stockings, or dilute
strongly with water. Apply morning and
night. This will reduce any swelling, al
lay pain and stop the odor of perspiration.
Pleasing and gratifying. Try it and if
not pleased, return the empty box and get
your money back. J. g. Tyree, Chemist,

THE GOLDEN AGE FOR WEEK OF NOV. 13
age, such as we see in Charleston
and Savannah and St. Augustine and
Mobile. It was a plain but stable
sort, the kind which holds its own
against rain and storm and the des
structive elements of time. The win
dows are small, the roofs gabled, por
ticoes absent. But the walls of brick
which were made on the other side
of the sea stand firm and fast. They
are typical of the people who con
structed them, and in a large measure
typical of ’ those who now live in
them.
Salem Academy is out there. Right
in the center it is. Next to religion
came education, and throughout the
years Salem Academy has been do
ing service to the daughters of the
daughters of those early settlers, pre
paring them, in a profound way for
the responsibilities of womanhood.
The new town was called Winston,
but the postal authorities have com
bined the two and now they are one
under the name of Winston-Salem,
the combined population approximat
ing thirty thousand souls.
Winston-Salem is the center of a
great tobacco section, drawing its
trade from many miles distant. As a
plug cut tobacco manufacturing cen
ter is it second only to St. Louis, and
by many it is thought that it will
eventually be the largest manufactur
ing center for plug tobacco in the
world. Many of the most popular
brands on the Southern market are
made here and those who use the
“nasty weed” say they are all right.
Other factories are also here and the
Winston side of the town presents a
busy picture indeed of a modern pro
gressive city.
“THE HAND THAT ROCKS THE
CRADLE.”
Dear Little Mother:
Find enclosd $1.50, which moves my
subscription up to February 22d, 1914.
Let The Golden Age keep coming.
I would rather do without anything
else, unles it is my Bible. Its weekly
visits are a grand inspiration to me.
I want to highly indorse your article
on “The Hand That Rocks the Cradle
is the Hand that Rules the World.”
Would to God that every mother could
realize that. I also wish to indorse
the hot, stinging editorials of Mr. Up
shaw against “John Barleycorn.” May
God spare you both, with all the other
monagers and contributors to The Gol
den Age, for many years to come. May
my son and daughters grow up too such
noble man and womanhood lis my
heart’s desire.
With many good wishes for a hap
py birthday.

THE BROTHERHOOD OF MAN.
•
“I’m a sister to the work,
And I love his manly look,
As I love a thought of beauty,
Living star-light in a book.
I am sister to the humblest,
In the world’s red-handed strife —
Those who wield the sword of labor
In the battle ranks of life.”
The common tie of humanity proves
the brotherhood of man which makes
the whole world kin. And this divine
feeling of kindship implants in the
heart of every good person a desire to
help some one else over the rough
places and stony way. Oh, how good
and self-satisfied we feel when we
know we have aided a brother or sis
ter.
Franklin said, “Dost thou love life?”
Then waste not time, for time is the
stuff that life is made of.” But it is
what we put into these atoms cf time
that counts for most and goes on liv
ing through the eternal ages. For a
