ing the pleasure and enjoyment
there is in knowing something.
Statistics show us that on an
average,,an illiterate man will
earn from one to three hundred
dollars per year; a man with a
common school education will
earn from seven to fifteen hun
dred dollars per year; and a man
with a collegiate education will
earn from two to five thousand
dollars per year. Then no father
or mother has a moral or religi
ous right to bring up their child
ren in illiteracy. A number of
our good people have a miscon
ception of what real education is,
and think it learns a person how
to shun and get out|of work, edu
cation teaches us how to do more
and better work. Some people
have a desire to lay up money,
bonds, stock and lands for their
children, which they generally

parents have passed into the
great beyond. Others more
thoughtful, want to give them an
education which will stay with
them forever. In this enlighten

get an education, and ignorance
is a voluntary misfortune, hand

On Tuesday afternoon, Dec. 2d, Mr.
Jesse Dockins was killed at Hillsboro,
N. C., by the explosion of dynamite.
Mr. Dockins had drilled a hole under
a rock and loaded it and then withdrew
to a place of safety. This charge failed
to fire and he then drilled anew hole by
the side of the other one. and placed a
stick of dynamite in it to explode the
oilier one, and withdrew again. This
stick exploded and Mr. Dockins thought
the other one had also. Thinking this,
he went back and just as he got over
the place, the second explosion occurr
ed killing him instantly.
His body was brought to Wiley Ga.,
and placed to rest in the family grave
yard Friday afternoon.
Mr. Dockins leaves a nnmber of
friends and relatives who are sorry to
learn of his sad and unexpected death.
