All right, they can have all ,they want of him, I - Mr. Bryaa’s home, precinct went Bepublican on him again. It does seem like he might induce his own neighbors to vote like they holler. I Mr George Fred Williams says there are “plenty of good Demo crats left;” which is the same as saying that a lot of them have abs conded from the Demdcratic ranks, It ‘= .iiIn God We Trust,” they Say, has.been omitted Irom the new $10 gold coin. - 'However, we'withhold our comment until we behold the omission with our own eyes, T Since^the Japanese wrestler has given Mr. Booseveltthat big sword, let it be ‘‘the Big sword’’ instead.of “the big stick.’’ Anything to break the monotony. IF If it'is a splendid good thing to stop stock gambling for a few days to relieve financial conditions in New York, why would it not be a good thing to cut it out altogether? Yes, why! TfWhere Senator Tillman is at present we hardly know, but it is safe to conjecture that he is not very far removed from the box-man who takes in the cash at the win dow at a dollar a head. A Democratic paper declares that Mr. Boosevelt would be the easiest man to beat in next year’s cam paign. Then why, oh, why, are the Demmy leaders so afraid that • lie will be nominated!

Coxey, who, 13 years ago, led an army of 1,000 populists Irom Massillon, O., to Washington in behalf ol good roads and non-interest bearing bonds, has again come iuto the limelight. He is now the owner of a mine at Fairview. Kev., and says that as soon as he takes out $200,000 worth of ore he will finance a free lecturetonrofthe United States. Coxey is 57 years old. He says the present financial crisis is due to the ‘‘credit system,” whiclr it is his life ambition to abolish. He has named his boy “Legal Ten der,” and says’the son will con tinue the fight if the father dies before it is won. Cosey has a stone quarry in Massillon, and is well- to-do. He has received two nom inations for congressman and one for governor frciu the Ohio Popu lists. A Dangerous Deadlock.

It is for the woman to decide whether she shall smoke. “It is undeniably a mistake, however, for a woman to smoke when by so doing she will give of fense to persons of deep-rooted opinions. Itisjustas bad form to wear a low-necked dress at so cial entertainments where clergy men are expected to be present. The mere wearing of such a gar ment is not wrong, but it becomes wrong where it violates any estab lished canon of society.” It will be a hard matter for Miss Florence Hayward, or anyone else to convince the intelligent ladies of the Old North State that it is lady-like and refined to be seen walking or lounging around smok ing cigarettes. Duke WantedToo Much. You’d think, wouldn’t you. that a nice, pretty American girl was good enough in herself to line up with any of the so-called proud old names ot Europe? And if the girl had an income of $200,000 a year, why, it would be the finest kind of bargain for a “duke” or any other old kind of nobleman. But not so with the duke of Alba, of Spain. This Mr. Alba had many fine old ancestors and many tough ones, but at present there’s nothing much left but the name. Some timeago announcement was made of the duke’s engagement to Miss Mathilde Townsend,, a Wash ington belle. Alba set agents to work to investigate her income. It was found that Miss Townisend’s mother had an income.of $200,000 a year. The duke told his fiance’s mother that really he admired Miss Townsend very, much arid ioved her very greatly, but that his wife must have that much in come herself. Ah! Too bad, Ioo bad! Mrs. Townsend is an ambitions mother, but also' a sensible oue, -and she broke lhatengagement jn- stanten—Rural Weekly. Look here mister! You are owing us on subscription.

We have an interesting commu nication from a friend-in Georgia, which TViIl appear in our next issne. We are in no danger of freezing at present, as % friend has laid us in a supply of wood. What we need now is pumpkins and pork. We have received a copy of Out look, a new paper published at Beaufort. The Outlook starts off with bright prospects. We wish it much success. Misery loves company. We sent a §2 check, on one of the best banks in the state, to a leading merchant the other day and he was actually afraid to cash it. Some people are awfully easy scared, it would seem. The man who will get- mad when presented with a just bill, is mean- - er than the devil wants him to be. We are glad that there are bad debt ca-llecting agencies, for they are sorely needed.

' ^ & Dutchman CreekHappenings, his saw mill Saturday, had a bad wreck with his traction - engine. The road was so ba<Uy blocked by tie smash-up that Mr. H. M. Deadmond, the road overseer, was called out to open -a driveway so people could pass. Most of our boys went lyinting Thanksgiving. We didrijlt Iiaye aiiyJurkey, but we had plenty of rabbit, and be sides, we killed the big pumpkin. We were looking tor • the editor. We don’t know why he didn’t come, unless he took Uncle Josha' advice and went to find the good .woman who feeds her pumpkins to the hogs. We know the editor likes pnmpkin pie and can’t help it, but we don’t believe that he has got as far along as the prodigal son, that he has to. feed with, the swine. • Mr, Beck, of Jerusalem, had a sale Saturday, in which ? he dis posed of all his farm, emplements, horses and cattle. Everything seemed to bring very good prices except a baby go-cart-, which sold for five cents. Those newly. mar ried people at Farmington didn’t know what was to b8 sold. Mr.. J. J. Daniel and family, ■ of Lexington, has moved back to Msl old home at Augusta. Thenewstorehouseof Mr. J. W. Martin, on Noi-th Main street, is nearing completion. " s ■" Lit t l e Bia c k E t e s.. From o u r Regular Co r r e s p o n d e n t * Com shuckings are about a thing of the past in this section. Mr. Frank Ellis and wife visited’ their daughter, Mrs. Will McCar ter at Salisbury part of last week. Mrs. Ellen Weaver celebrated her 89th birthday Nov. 25. She is in very good health for that age. As I saw something in The Re cord last week about a good renter, I would like to say that Mr. Japob Foster, who lives on the Hanes farm, raised 578 bushels of wheat, 875 bushels of corn, 1%7 gallons of molasses. He estimates his cot ton crop at 7 or 8 bales, but i he didn’t raise it all on 4 acres of land. Mr. A. M. Garwood made about ?00 bushels of corn on six acres of land, an average of 50 bushels to the acre. Can any one beat that for corn? j U kole B il l. Kurfees Item*. ITotwithstandiug the money pan ic, as somerte?m:-it^we~‘were kept busy all day Saturday writing re ceipts for The Record. The cash just literally roiled in. Our sub scribers had no trouble in selling their cotton, and the resnlt is that they have plenty of cash. A man wrote us the other day, telling us to discontinue his paper, as we run too many medicine ad vertisements. Dearly beloved, if you would take a lew doses of a good patent Inedicine1,,.we believe it would do you good. A fellow who stops his -paper because of a 'few medicine ads, certaitily needs a dose of something. Governor Glenn wanted all the preachers in the State to read his Thanksgiving proclamation from their pulpits on Thanksgiving day. We don’t know whether they com plied with his request or not. The Yadkin Ripple,i in commenting on this matter, says that the people in ITorth Carolina have one thing especially to be thaukful for, viz: That a new chief executive will step into power in Eorth Carolina next year. Almost daily one reads of houses being plundered and hoarded mon ey being stolen. It does seem to us that'people would learn by ex perience from others, that it is un wise and foolish to keep their cash hidden away in or around their homes. With two good banks in . Davie counry, there is no neceSSty for any one to keep money Mddep at home, endangering not only the loss of the money bntr human life as well. When you put your sav ings in a bank, it not only protects your money, but pays you interest on the same. We have not writ ten this.in the interest of the banks but for the benefit of those who 40 not look well to their own best interests by hiding their money in unsafe places, instead of putting it where it will-help the owner, the country, and will not be an in ducement to thieves to break in 'your homes-and steal, and perhaps murder yon. ^ Jfrom our Regular Correspondent.

Editor D avie Record: Asthis isThanksgiving day, and somehow feeling that that Thanks giving turkey existed only in the vivid imagination of our epicurean editor, and that it did not material ize in such a way as to afford him the greatest pleasure, for we be lieve that turkey roosts high up the tree yet. still roams the fields of North Garolina with that majestic trerd, and makes the air reverberate with his gobble, which seems to me is the shout of freedom. So, after meditating on the sub ject, I thought you might be thank ful for a letter from a “Georgia Cracker,” or if not thankful, you would at least tolerate an epistle which, after you have read it, will remind you of a junk pile. But believe you will be thankful, for all nature' seems thankful today. I have just been feeding the cows and calves, and they were ■ contentedly chewing their cud, seeming thank ful that they had a few corn shucks to eat. The pig was grunting his satisfaction because he was a hog, or that his stomach was full of hom iny, I didn't know which. From the expression of the old horse’s eye, thought that he munched his com with joy and eat the cob with a mer ry heart, and was glad he was not an ass. With an unusually solemn look, the old game rooster watched the old one-eyed drake as he plodded his way acr'-iss the yard, and crowed his thankfi ’"hat he did not belong to that ■ 0S/,s of mud-splashing aquatic'00If jay bird flitting t h r o u g h / ,-=Ii appeared happy for the s city Smathers on the top of his I^cJ serv; .ch in his estimation was m^und aiming than the crown ofan> Downinthe pasture, the sheep browsing about for the few remain ing sprigs of green vegetation, the ram raises his head, and after an .. upward look at the dark, gray clouds, he gazes reflectively in an eastward direction from whence comes the cold and biting east wind, and bleats • his thankfulness that his back is covered with a warm coat of long wool. In the fence comer Sfiar by stands an old billy goat, and after biting the last leaf from the haw thorn bush that stands close by, he casts a side-long glance at the sheep, and snorts in grateful remember- ance of his appetite, supported by the strongest digestive organs in the universe, And as I sit here and listen to the _ dreary dribble of the raindrops as they are drumming a gentle tatoo against the window pane, I am thankful that I had plenty of “com dodger” for dinner. I am also very glad that I am a subscriber to The DavieRecord, for its rustling re minds me very much of the zooing sound made by-the lower left hand wing of ‘ ‘The Hornet. ” The Recotd is the best county paper I know of, but that Hornet, ah, the humming of that Hornet would certainly make anyone happy; : ., Now, my dear sir, I would like to renew my subscription and • get- a chance at that gold watch. But you know there is a-panic turned loose in the country at this time. However, ' I can’t tell .any difference, for one struck me. in the days thathave long since gone into what, as Tom Wat son says, we call “the dim realms of the past.” So, you see there is . no possibility of me- renewing at the present time. • Can’t you take a pole with a sharp spike on the end. and' give the old government .'at Wash ington a gouge in the short ribs. Youmightrousethe old thing up, and get it to kicking against this rotten money business with one leg auyway. If you will refer to some incidents in history, you will very correctly conclude that vou . North -Carolinians are the ones to stir the old gal up. And now sir, after giving you a little insight into how we are spend ing Thanksgiving here, I hope you will permit me, td say " that I trust you have been-wearing that new shirt for some time, and that you will be able to get inside of a pair of pants before the winter sets in good and strong. As I have a supperspic- ion that you are tired of listening' to my absurd ideas, I .know that you will feel very much konfurjuberka- ted, when I wish you much luck and great prosperity, and bid you adois. 0. Rowe.': Dearly beloved, we sure have "en joyed your letter, and will get our sharp stick and go after some of the nation’s high money changers. A shirt has been put on our back, but up to Ihishourwe remain pan Let us hear from you some more, Yours, still pantless, Th^ Editor. HOLD HARD, BROTHER. Our Home, published.at Marsh ville, has the following to say: Onr Home is the only weekly paper in the Eiedmont section of the State that has a subscription price as low as 75 cents. Is it possible that the editor of Our Home has never heard of The Davie Record, a weekly paper pub lished in the town of Mocksville, which is in the Piedmont section of North Carolina. Brother Green surely does not travel much. The Record is only 50 cents a year. STINGS FROM THE YELLOW JACKET TheRepublicanparty may not be perfect, but it is as sound as a 100- cent gold dollar. Iflong whiskers are to come in vogue again, look out for a rise in the temperature of the Populist party. Fourteen years ago times were not like they are now. Then good cotton sfild for five cents. Now it goes like hot cakes at double that money: Secretary Cortelyou’s suggestion that stockings were made to be worn and not to wad money away in, is timely, and should be heeded. So long as King Gorn, King Wheat and King Cotton are on the throne in this country, financial flurries can ust come and go—to—to thunder. It’s enough to make the horses laugh to hear a party prating of be ing a prohibition force, with such a NationalChairmanas Tommy .Tag gart. ■ .. Money may talk, to be sure, but it is a bit difficult to.understand what it says from the bottom of an old stocking away down under the house hid away in the cellar. The Gommonerhas started up the twang about a “fifty cent dollar,” which goes to show that altho Mr. Bryan has a big heart and can forj give, he cannot forget. Ir The chap who calls his sweetheart his clearing-house certificate may noli know all about banking, biit he knows what to say to get his best girl to bank on him. .! The AustrimTcount who weds Misl Gladys Vanderbilt, says he _ likel Americans. Well, we reckon, when his. Iove for us is sweetened to the tune of about $10,000,000. j/When you hear a little pipe-orgah of a newspaper yelping “Roosevelt panic,” spot it on the snout. It’s Wall Street gad-fly with every foot] up. -S Thebeeftrustkeepsup its twang: about the price of beef going down, Theaverage beef buyer, however, has not yet felt any sudden jar be cause of the slump. Those who sue still propounding the query, “What is whiskey?” had better hurry up and get their answer before everything goes prohibition and the likker plays out. Oklahoma’s blind Senator will have the advantage of not having to “view with alarm” the awful conditon of his beloved country and the Republi- canruins that sure spread around him. Both Congress and Christmas are now looming up on the horizon, ahd it will be expected of . every true pat riot that he sit up and take noticeof the one and go to digging for the other.

Byreaeonofhishaving ren dered such valuable service on behalf of the G. 0. P. and hav ing fought with so much zeal against the unscrupulous De- V mocratic party, the Honorable Edwin H. Morris, keeper of the postoffice at Mocksville, must-undoubtedlyhavea migh ty pull on the powers that be at Washington. How, there fore we begin in the interest of the merchants and manufac turers of our co&kty. Weask ^ him in the name’of the ,farm- : ers and mechanics of our coun try, we plead with him in the , name of the women and child- ( sen of our country to go forth j—haste to Washington and use his influence in our be half. We ask him in the name of all things great and noble to go at once to Washington and have that hideous Parker kick ed out and Roosevelt and bis eorpsof Lieutenants, who prom ised us a never-ending period of prosperity, aud bliss rein stated. The above scintillating thoughts from “Uncle Alex/’ will interest and possibly amuse-some of The Record’s readers, for in the^a^ g.? g!, °f 3 S^oWiSg'cusS,” to __»»j-tne least. We regret to in form him that his egotism is only surpassed by his' crass ignorance, for if we have ever had such an in fluence with the powers that be, we were not aware of it, and had we such influence, we 'think we have too much sense to rush in, or butt in.* Our Demonratie friends, and especially the “Uncle Alex” variety, are 'powerful anxious -to make a mountain out of a mole hill, and they would sacrifice the coun try and all its interests- for party gain. These Uncle Alex? have grown aud ,prospered and fattened under a Republidan administration untjl they are.in U ie same condit- ien of the children of Israel. They long for the Cleveland soup pots, to reduce the fatty degeneration ^hie1ll Jias overcome their recollec- \ion of their former task masters, and they are actually pining to re turn to Egypt, hut there is a ray of hope for all such benighted be ings as “Uncle Alex.” ,The peo ple of this great country are going . to the polls next Kovember -and save the lost tribes in Bpite of . themselves. In conclusion, “Uncle Alex,” we hope you are not qne of - the faithful who has dealt so un kindly toward our friend, The Courier, in withholding .the amount . you are due on subscription.

KurfeeB) left last Tuesday night on a fljing trip to Salisbury. The flying part did not last long. We dumped our weary bones oft at a little station called Barber Junction, about 6:40-p. m., and after enjoying a nice supper at the Junction House, which is run by our friend, J. T. Barber, we made ourselves.miserable in the depot waiting room. Our traia go ing east was due at 7:20, but wheD it was learned that we had arrived at the said Junction, the train was marked up one hour late to start off with. That hour was spent in trying to get a fire started in the afore-mentioned waiting room stove which is owned by the Southern ltailroad and which was operated by all those who were present on Tuesday night. After working an hour with the stove—not the fire, for it wasn’t there—and using a half-gallon of oil and various com plimentary words in regard to the coal, we were iuforined by our old friend, GK Olevelapd Witherspoon, the depot agent, that the train was two hours late, instead of one. When this sad intelligence was made known, it was suggested that the song, “We won’t get home till morning,” be sung by the congre gation. Various exclamation and interregation points were scattered around. In due course of time the two hours, passed but the train didn’t. And that stove and the atmosphere had almost reached the freezing point. We quit beeping tab on the time after that. But all tfcisgs come to those who wait, and after a time it was announced with joy that a faint rumbling was heard in the distant®. And about the same time, or a- little., samer, that stove got down to business. Strange that all the good luck bits a fellow at one time. We left the Junction at a few minutes befoi'e XO o’clock, aud-thought of the fol lowing poem, which has long since become famous: The night was dark and stormy, Bain clouds lingered overhead. When I arrived at a little station Barber Junction, the porter said. My heart was sad Jmd lonely, Notafriendwasstandingby that itl^ —.....................And thoughts that filled my ba^U-««-inany’ friends who' would be Caused many a burdeneA-^ - - - - - - —- .. -,^cmsa to loved ones, IitSidT should see no more, And was waiting a train to take me Puzzles wiser heads than yours Or mine, indeed, to-know. We arrived in,Salisbury and got- to bed justJn time to meet our selves getting up. We only had short while in that hustling town, and came near breaking our fool necks trying to cetch a 9;55 train which didn’t leave till 10:30, but we didn’t know.it. Eleven o’clock found us again at Barbgr Junction with other two hours yet to wait. The noon hour found our feet again stuck under friend Barber’s dining room table, and the way we went -down after one of his chickens was a sight to behold. We always feel sorry for the man who has to feed us after we have been boarding at home lor a week or two. The hour of one found us crawling on the 12:42 Mocksville North-eastern Lightning Express, which whizzed us home a little before two. Not a train on the Southern, to our knowledge, run on time while we were away. The Hoot-Owl Spec ial actually run;into Barber Junc tion five minutes ahead of time as we went over Tuesday night, giv ing us a little extra time there, thinking we might want to vote in that precinct at the next election. Won’t some friend be kind enough to send or bringing another pump kin. We getteth empty, Wehavoreceivedtwp or three letters from our Hornet subscribers telling us The Record was a good county papery but that they could not be interested in news about people they didn’t know. Now, dearly beloved, you fellows are the very ones that we are running The Hornet Seetion for. We have hundreds of subscribers who never saw or even heard tell of Mocks- ville. “We mean to make this part of our paper rich and rare, and want all of our Hornet subscribers to stand by us. Many of. you la dies and gentlemen are behind on subscription, and we would appre ciate it very much if you would re new, as our pants are getting thin, and our shoes are gone to ruin and the weather getteth colder. An exchange tells of a man out west who sent an obituary notice to his home PapvL^l^e W e ^ d To loved ones on before. _A£-fke 7fi'eary J10Urs crept slowly. ' ADd I listened longingly, Mauy were the-sighs around me ' Erom companions in misery. On all the dreary landscape, Rested a heavy gloom, I could almost see a funeral train In fhe distance loom. Shipwrecked on a desert island, . Were a joy compared to this; When I think of Barber Junction Even toothache seems a bliss. I strained my ears arid listened Eor the coining of my train,. But only heard that endless click And the' beating of the rain. Serving out my long probation, Endless moments I spent there; - One hour spent at Barber Junction Ts the acme of despair. Suddenly I heard a rumbling In the distance far away; Iatoseanddimly wondered if my hair had yet turned gray. Never was bread to. the starving, A more welcome sight, Than No. 22, whose coming Was hailed with such delight. Many are the nation’s heroes, Who well have won renown, They who wait at Barber Junction, HeBerve a martyr’s ci-own. How that everlasting place, Oan be so pokey, slow, And how three hours of waiting is such a weight of woe, pleased to hear of his death. The editor published the notice and it later developed that the dead man belonged to that heartless gang, who after reading the paper for several years had the postmaster mark it “refused” before settling his subscription bill. This action on the deceased scrub probably had ;much to do with his death. Others of the gentry would do well to take warning before it is- forever too late, says the R’ockwood Times. EASY TO MIX THIS Prepare It at Home By Shaking ingre dients Well in a Bottle Whatwill appear very interesting .to many people here is the article taken from a New York daily peper, giving a simple prescription, as for mulated by a noted authority, who claims that he has found a positive remedy to cure almost any case of backache or kidney or bladder de rangement, in the following simple prescription, if taken before the stage of Bright’s disease: - Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-half ounce; Compound Kargon, one ounce; Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three ounces. Shake-well in a bottle and take in teaspoonful doses after each meal and again at bedtime. A well-known druggist here at home, when asked regarding this pre scription, stated that the ingredients are all harmless, and can be obtained at a small cost from any good pre scription pharmacy, or the mixture would be put up if asked to do so. He further stated that while this prescription is ofter prescribed in rheumatic afflictions with splendid results, he could.see no reason why it would not be a splendid remedy for kidney and urinary troubles and backache, as it has a peculliar action upon the kidney structure, cleansing these most important organs and helping them to sift and filter from lhebloodthefoul acid and waste matter which cause sickness and suf fering. Those of our readers who suffer cam make no mistake in giving it a-trial." Dearly beloved, wilt thou not pay that thou owest us.
