01-JanuaryISSUE MISSING I “HERE SHALL THE PRESS. THE PEOPLE’S RIGHTS MAINTAIN; UNAWED BY INFLUENCE AND UNBRIBED BY GAIN.” V ol. X.MOCKSVILLE. N. C.. TUESDAY. JANUARY 12, 1909.No. 28 S'? I * t i , FORECAST FOR JANUARY. Tbe smokers will resolve to quit And once for all bave done with it. They’ll buy their wives souie things they i e -d With what they save upon the weed And else and otherwise fulfill Their resolutions—yes they will. The meu who drink, will renounce Their booze anil rush to water fo il I) 1 s. They’ll cross themselves and hope to die, Exhort the country to go dry, Aud joiuwitbtemperance to kill Tbe liquor traffic—yes they will. The men who swear will resolute To give up “Hell!” aud •‘Damn!” for “Shoot!” And oaths like “Piffles!” “Fudge” and “Dear!” Will supersede within the year Such things as “ What The Hotel — -T5nnfl,- And “Hell and blazes!” yes-s s s they will. The calendar will change, with the usual wakes for the old year and greetings for the new. Most of us will immediately date our correspondence 1909, but forget­ ful people like Mr. Archibold and Mr. Rockefeller will continue dat­ ing checks 1908. The old year will be mourned by Democrats and coldly greeted by lions. It will find the peace tribu­ nal at The Hague closed and the house staff attending the wars in Venezuela, Hayti, Washingtonand Mrs. Nation’s address in Scotland. The end of Leap Year will provoke Few bachelor regrets, Aud the stork will step up like a man And pay his baby bets, The Roosevelt regime will make Its plants to go a gunning, And lions, hippos and giraffes Will practice up at running. The Romans tried to make March the first month of the year, but af­ ter about half of the Irish bad fro­ zen to death trying Io march on the 17th, lfuma re arranged the calendar as a merciful concession to that valuable colony. January was one of the months devised for that occasion. It was named for Janus, whom the Ro­ mans called the “porter of Heav­ en.” He 'opened and closed Heav­ en, kept it nicely dusted, made up the berths, and whenever he caught a man -in there who was not keep­ ing his newspaper subscription paid tip, he chased him into the smoker. No other month is so appropri ately named as this, for Janus was regarded by the ancients as the be­ ginning and the end of all things He is famous for having had'a se­ cond face on the back of his head, and resembled Mr. Harriman com­ ing and Mr. Lawson going. His temple at Rome was historic. When the empire was at war its gates were thrown open, and in peace they were closed, This was continued until the time of Augus­ tus, who is said by Prof. Fcrrero to have been the prototype of Mr. Roosevelt. At any rate, Augustus cast the gates of the temple into the Tiber aud made it a prison for liars, mollycoddles, couples with­ out children, editors, congressmen, nature fakirs, rich malefactors, re­ ligious bigots, reactionaries and undesirable citizens. The row between the President And Congress will become The hottest, thing since David Smashed Goliath’s cerebrum. The outraged House will paw the earth, The Senate will get flip, The President will rub his fist Against its upper lip, The air will be a mass of fur, Aud rippling expletives, And the timid Congressmau will ruu From there to where he lives. The air will pulsate wi th the rush of bitter verbal shot, the sports will bet on whether Ted will take it back or .not, the old men will get on the roof and utter their defies, the Presidjnt will show his teeth and bulletin the lies, a special message now and then will heighten the hub-bub, and a dozen men a day will join the Ananias Club. The Congressmen will blister Fed, And he will soak them back, • The Senate will put in a punch And get a counter smack. They’ll say some ugly things to him And he will bawl them ont, The dignity of government Will dance, ki yi and shout, The old Potomac will become A rasjing sea of loam, The public servant’s family Will beg him to come home. The shindee will divert the world By reason of ils heat, And -Loeb will let it run awhile,, j And then send for the fleet. Alter that we shall have Taft weather, with cooler delations at Washington. Cabinet selections will be announced 00 Tuesdays and Fridays. The rich will go to the winter resorts, and eggs will go to 40c. The new sign of the zodiac will be Aquarius, the water ear rier, whose influence will begin on the 20th. This will enable any one who has kept on the water wagon fro»n the 1st to remain per nianently seated. Persons born under Aquarius vote dry. They have bad memories,-aud rise to confidential positions with trusts. They are also very knowing. buT they don’t know when prosperity will return. The moon will be full on the 6th and Mercury will become the even­ ing star on the 26 th. Mr, Rocke­ feller will reach his Southernmost declination on the 20th when he will turn up at Atlanta, Ga., for the midwinfer golf solstice. Golt takes his mind off the danger of the oil giving out. The Wrights wilt temporarily give way to Jhe price' of butter, which will .stay up until spring. The favorite sport of the month will be pie hunting. Mrs. Nation will carry the war into Lonitton and will show the suffragettes how to get lockod up jn the Tower. Our absent fleet will make Suez, Continuing its bum, And things in Africa will think That Roosevelt has come. There’ll be a stampede to the South And many trembling lips Will pass the word that he’s ar­ rived With sixteen battleships. And then brief February of the groundhog will be done, and we’ll discover pretty quick if he's a liar, too.—Swiped. Mr. P. B. Summers Dead. . Mr. P. B. Summers, a well- known citizen of Cool Spring town­ ship, died Jan. 4th, at his home near Fifth Creek-tihurch. He had been ill a long time and his con­ dition was critical for some days.

I—What chiefly con­ cerns the government and the peo pie is the progress that is being made towards the relief of those who h^ve suffered by the dreadful earthquake in southern Italy and Sicily. Considerable advance in this respect has been made at. Mes­ sina, where, according to official reports leceived here, the supply service is beginning to work satis­ factorily. yhe different regions on the coast have been allotted to va­ rious warships and other ships as centres from which terpedo boats and laui.ches convey and distrib­ utive rations and water-to the dif­ ferent villages. The Minister of Justice haB wir­ ed from Messina to Premier Giolit- ti that large bodies of troops have arrived and are now oscupying all of the town. The appalling ex­ tent of the disaster renders any­ thing like a systematic search of the ruins is impossible, but persons are being dragged out all day long and are quickly transported to the relief ships as soon as their wounds have received attention. There were slight sfiocks felt in the earthquake zone to lay, com­ pleting the ruin of the crumbling buildings. These shocks are cou- tri'mting to the keeping up of alarm ol the population, one quite severe shock was felt at 3 o’clock iu the morning and another at 9. Fires are still buruiug, although much rain has fallen. The latest iLvestigations on both sidfs of the straits make it certain thao many more than half the pop­ ulation of the coast towns and vil­ lages have been killed. Profes.301 Ricso, director of the observatory at Mount Aetna, estimates that the victims of the earthquake ex­ ceed 200,000. Hundreds of dangerous crimi­ nal!) have been arrested by * the troops and are uuder close guard. Great relief was felt here when the announcement was made that the Lipari islands, which were re­ ported to have disappeared with their population of 28,000, suiler- ed iittle or no damage from the earthquake. Many cities aud couhtries have coutributed liberally to the suffer­ ers, the United States appropriat­ ing a couple of millious. He Wasn’t an Editor. Statesville Landmark. Thursday evening, Dec. 31st, a Mr. Cathey, of Asheville, who de­ sired to make connection at Salis­ bury with one of the through trains on the main line for New York, chartered a special train at Ashe­ ville to take him to Salisbury, it being understood that if he did not reach Salisbury in time for the train for NewYork the latter train would wait on him there 30 min­ utes and possibly longer. The special train bearing the single pas­ senger made good time until it reached a point tnis side of New­ ton, when the engine broke down. After a delay of possibly an hour or longer' the train proceeded to­ wards Salisbury, but when it reached Statesville it broke down again. The crew of the local shift­ ing engine was called out and at­ tached the local shifter to the dis­ abled train and took it on to Salis­ bury, Before the train was ready to leave Statesville, however, Mr. Cathey realized that it would bad­ ly delay the New York- train to hold, it at Salisbury until be ar­ rived and he wired from here. not to hold it any longer. After all the trouble and expense his efforts to reach Salisbury in time to catch the train for the North were fruit- The trip cost him $200., It not known here why it’ was -so iportant that he should make th‘ nuection. jTobody can afford to borrow Bey to loan to somebody else, ex^ ; the banker.

The Armour Packing Company, headquarters at Chicago, which has had a number of substations in this State, has abandoned its North Caroiina business. An explosion which occurred in the Lick Branch coal myie, in Mc­ Dowell county, W. Va., last week, resulted in the death of 49 men. The last body was "removed Friday of last week.

LARGEST CIRCULATION OF ANT PAPER EVER PUBLISHED IN DAVIE COUNTY. MOCKSVILLE, N. C., JAN. 12, 1909. The town of MocksFille is Jike all other towns in many resp'ects. We have the progressive man and the kicker, the rich man and the poor man, the honest man and the rascal, the fellow who thinks be owns the town and the fellow who knows it all, the man who patro­ nizes home industry and the fel- Jow who buys from- Chicago, the fellow who sends to ocher conn tics and States for his newspapers and doesn’t take his own home paper. Lord deliver us from Ibis latter class of beings. It will be news to most people that Salisbury was ever a dry town prior to the advent of State prohi­ bition on the 1st, but the Post, commenting on the chauge, says that Salisbury was a prohibition town 50 years ago; that Alderinau A. Parker, who was a small boy at the time, recalls that when the sale of liqaor was prohibited in the town just prior to the war be­ tween the States, taverns (they called-the grog shops taverns in the oUkdays) were set up just out­ side the town, “ where pure whis­ key could be had for 15 cents a quart.” - A sigh for the good old days that are gone forever. Think ofbuyiug “pure whiskey for 15 (cents a quart! It isn’t So much the price that is complained of now as the devil’s brew that is sold under the name of liquor.— Statesville Landmark. There ought to be a general law. making law law, and the law be inforced by law; and the judge, mayor, magistrate, or any other lawful or unlawful officer, who fails to enforce the law according to the law of justice to friend or foe, rich or poor—should be made to serve |twelve months, every night -as nrakeruan on a Southern freight [train from Salisbury to Asheville; -Hickory Times-Mercury.

Some iraprovement^ar^riaaTt needed around the court house: It would be a good idea to have btick pavements laid around the square so people would not bave to call up the ferryman in muddy seasons before crossing from one side to the other.

On Puesday morning, when the news was ’phoned over the county that LeRoy Osborne, a well-known horse-trader on Cove Creek, had de­ parted the State between two days, his creditors got busy in every quar­ ter, trying to find something they could attach to save their debts. But alas! nothing available was in sight. One creditor, however, (Riley May by name), determined not to be los­ er in the game. Mounting his steed he headed for the State line at Trade Tenn., where he found that Mr. Os­ borne had fed his stock for break­ fast. Here he took the law, as it were, in his own hands, and followed on in hot pursuit, until he sighted the wagon of Osborne, with four fine mules and three good horses tied thereto. He rode up behind, the wagon bumping over the stones muffling the sound of his horse’s feet, cut loose the stock and with them was soon making the mud fly in the direction of the Oid North State. Osborne, missing his stock, soon overtook May, but as they could not come to any agreement without Osborne paying over to the Rowan Woman Commits Suicide. Salisbury Special to Observer, 11th. Miss Mary Josey, aged 65 years, was drowned in a creek a half mile from the home of her brother, Mr. Milas Josey, with whom she lived, at Faith, this morning about 8 o’clock. MissJoseyhadbeen complaining of being unwell for the past several days, but no special attention was paid to her complaints. Fhis morn­ ing she arose at the usual hour and some time between 7 and 8 o’clock left the house. After a reasonable time had elapsed and Miss Josey failed to return, her brother and a neighbor, W. C. Parks, instituted a search for her with the result that her lifeless body was found lying in the edge of the creek a half mile from the house. Miss Josey was suViject to nervous SpeiIs and the opisibn in the neigh­ borhood and-of her relatives is that her mind became unbalanced and she threw herself into the water. Smithtowners Again Active. Reidsville Review. Those Smithtown blockaders, it is reported, who served out their terms in the United Stites penitentiary, have returned to Smithtown, where they banded themselves together and called on the witnesses who tes­ tified against them and gave one of them a sound thrashing. It is also rumored that District Attorney Hol­ ton will send a bill to the grand jury charging them with interference with the execution of the law. The report also has it that the blockaders are again active in the Smithtown settlement, and that the moonshin­ ers are again banded together m de­ fiance of law and officers.

Please announce that there will be an ankle auction (whatever that is) at the city hall here next Saturday night. Fifty or more pretty girls will be sold at auction on foot. The highest bidder carries off the foot, and wins the heart later if he can. The proceeds of the sale will be ap­ plied to the piano fund. Ladieswill bring luncheons to share with the purchasers of their ankles. [Old Iredell can’t be left far in the rear. We have known of ankle auctions being pulled off in the west, but j'ust think of having the glory of purchasing the trim and shapely ankles of our own dear Tar Heel girls. As the sale came. off Satur­ day night, it is safe to say that more than enough cash was raised to pay for that piano, for even the heart of the miser would melt at such an en­ chanting scene. Let Davie county follow suit with a few such- auction sales, and the county can raise cash enough to build good roads. We will try to find out the result of this sale and publish it m our next issue. The Re j-H eaded Man .] TheRigbtIdea. TIie Senate finance committee has reported a bill increasing the salary of the President fiom $50,000 to $100,000 and the salaries of the Vice Presidentand the Speaker of the House to $20,000 each. With the possible exception of the Vice Presi­ dent, the salaries should not be in­ creased. Considering all the per­ quisites the President gels, the sal- I ary of $50,000 is enough; and be­ cause a member of the House is elected its presiding officer is not sufficient reason to make his salary nearly three times as much as that of the private member.-JStatesviile Landmark. ' I ■ The Record howls amen io the a_ bove, and wants to add that all the officeholders are • amply repaid for the services they render, from the President down to the pages in the North Garolina general assembly. If a change along this line has got to be made, let the salaries be hewed down ten per cent. -Tobacco as a Surplus Crop. R. V. Tharpe, in The Landmark. The cultivation of tobacco for the past few years in Iredell, Alexander, Yadkmrand Davie counties has been reduced about 75 per cent, and in many sections the barns have de­ cayed or have been tom down; or are beidg used for other purposes; and many of the farmers are trying to raise cotton for a surplus crop. Statesville was once, and is yet, a good leaf tobacComarket; and also a good point for the manufacture of plug and smoking tobacco. Our manufacturers-are compelled to buy from other markets in order to get the amount and grade of the good ripe gllers they use in making the several brands that they put up. These counties I have mentioned have the soil and climate and exper­ ience to produce the best wrapper and filler in the piedmont section of North Carolina, which is noted for its quality of both chewing and sm'oking. tobacco; and the business can be made profitable to the farmer who will plant only enough of to­ bacco to make it a surplus crop. To- bascv is very easily cultivated, more so than any crop we can produce on our soil. As a usual’thing two work­ ings will be sufficient. It is true the worming arid suckeringof the weed is a tedious j'ob, but this only lasts through July and August, at a seas­ on of the year when all farmers are at leisure to some extent. The crop is easily housed and cured and then you await rainy days for preparing it for market, which can be done at a very small cost. Any farmer who has a two-horse farm can raise two or three acres of tobacco as a surplus, or money crop, scarcely missing the time from his other crop and make more clear mon­ ey from two acres of tobacco than he could from ten acres of corn or wheat. You can' always get good prices for a good ripe wrapper or a good ripe filler. One can easily raise 1,000 pounds on an acre of common poor land with a little fertilizer and manure. Many tobacco raisers have made mistakes by planting strong land in tobacco. If I should select a suitable soil for tobacco, I would select either a gray or white top rnd a yellow subsoil. I do not mean that farmers should not raise their own grain, for they snould byall means. Our farmers need to raise their home supplies and then have small crops of tobac­ co, which they can always sell on the market here for cash at any time of the year. Seeds should be sown in February in a low, damp soil, well buried be­ fore preparing the bed, and canvass­ ed with a very thin cloth. Tobacco snould be planted in May and the earlier the better. Do not prime too high. Leave from eight to twelve leaves to the plant; this will- insure each leaf to mature and ripen. You cannot deceive the leaf buyer by color. He can tell as soon as he sees and smells it whether it was well matured on the field. Tomake good, heavy tobacco never allow the suck­ ers to grow more than 5 inches long. Select good seed (which can be se ­ cured from Planters’ Warehouse, Statesville), good, suitable soil for bed; do not sow too thick and select two or three acres of gray or light soil, never red sjil. Fresh land is best. Use about 200 poi nds of good fertilizer to the acre. With a good season you can make 1.000 pounds to tne acre and if you have handled your tobacco as it should be you can realize $100 per acre. I hope some good farmer will try to see how much he can make from one acre. The writer has made $5( 0 on two acres but this was years ago. [The above article reminds us that our friend G. W. Green has about 25 acres of the best tobacco land in Davie county that he wishes to rent out to some person or persons. The land lies near County- Line. Any one wanting further information in. re­ gard to this land, will do well to write G. W. Green, Ko.ksville, N. C. It means money to some one.] AWFUL CALAMITY. Mocksville, N.

It hurts, but tbat, Idoesu’t stop it. ft remiuds'me of the story of the four young men Iwbo went hunting some distance from home. They had with theiii a tent, beds and bedding, cooking utensils, camp stove, eatables ol' all kinds, including plenty of salt. Arriving on the hunting grounds they all went to work with ready and willing hands to put tip the tent, and arrange their camp out­ fit. After they had done this the first question that came up was who was going to do the cooking? Of course none of thjem wanted to do it. They all wanted to liuut. Fiually they agreed that it was on­ ly fair that each slionld take his turn at doing the cookiug. One of them, probably the poorest cook in the party, offered to take the first turn, provided he might l.-e relie\ - (I the first time any one grumble'.! t his cooking, the fault finder tak- ng his place, Tliis was sitisfac- iOry to the balance of the party, he young fellow knew he was not inuch of a cook, and expected to e relieved at the first meal. He repared supper, and, with the elp of some of the other boys, it as pretty fair. The next morn- Iing the breakfast was something fierce, but no one said a word a- Ibout it. The dinner was so bad that the dogs barked at their part of it, and the supper was still worse. The next morning he warm­ ed the supper over fcr break fast, but no objection was made. That morning after they had all left [camp the young fellow reflected that if he didn’t do something [there was no huniing tor him on that trip. “I’ll fix ’em for din­ ner,?’ lie said to himself. so when it caine time to make the bread he iut in .one-third flour, one third ioda and one-third salt, all of which he mixed up with water. Nothing that he prepared for that [meal could have passed within a half mile of the pure food law. IThe boys came in for dinner that [day hungry as w jives. Their breakfast had been light and their hunting heavy. They sat down at the table, hoping the cook had im proved his style of cookiBg over that of the few meals preceding. Ofcourse they all reached for the bread. The one who took the [first bite exclaimed: “Say, this bread is pretty d—d salty.” Then thinking of the penalty to be im­ posed cm the first grumbler, sud­ denly added, “But I like it that way.” A unanimous vote, how- lever, elected him to succeed the first cook. So it is with the peo- ile who try to follow the fashion— whose toggery consists of one third flour, one-third soda and one-third salt. They suffer discomfort for the ontlandish things they have to wear, as well as the extravagant cost. Theyknowin their, hearts that “it’s pretty salty,” yet they say they “like it that way,” be­ cause it’s the fashion, “yon know.” They impoverish their child reu, tortue their bodies, and in some cases pat the husband and the father on the rack of worjy to make financial ends meet. They go to churCb and sii'g praises to God handicapped to such an < x- sim-ere praise. Aud when they return home from a public meet­ ing, or a social visit, they take off the check rein, lei gtheu out the back strap, loosen the hanie string and the belly band, iu order to be able to b:e.it.he as God intended they should breathe. In all these things there is a compensating law. If you are not c >utent -with the patterns after which God made you, and undertake to distort your body, you'll have to “pay the fid­ dler at last.— Uncle Tohey in Home and Farm.

If your Stomach, Heart or Kid­neys are weak, try at least a few do­ses only of Dr Shoop’s Restorative. In five or ten days only, the result will surprise you. A few cents will cover the cost. And here is why help comes so quickly. Dr. Shoop doesn’t drug the Stomach, nor stim­ ulate the Heart or Kidneys. Dr. Shoop’s Restorative goes directly to the weak and failing nerves. Each organ has its own controlling nerve. When these nerves fail, the depend­ ing organs must of necessity falter, This plain, yet vital truth, clearly tells why Dr. Shoop’s Restorative is so universally successful. Its suc­cess is leading druggists everywhere "to give it universal preference. A test will surely tell. Sold by C. C. Sanford Sons Co.

Wednesday morning a strange negro showed up in town. He didn't stay long, but long enough to provide means of saving shoe leather. He stepped over to Z. N.. Anderson’s store, and laying vile hands on Mr. Anderson’s bicycle, which was leaning against the out side of the store building, he pro­ ceeded to mount and made off with the velocity of the wind. He was seen between Bear and Hunting creeks, and was presumably head­ ed toward the classic "Shades of Rowan. Mr. Anderson did not miss his wheel until noon, and be thought some of the town boys had it riding around on the streets, ii a til some gentleman came in from the country and reported seeing a negro making tracks with the bi­ cycle.

Every time a person licks a Uni­ ted States postage stamp he gets a taste of sweet potato. The gum with which the stamps are backed is made from that succuleut vege­ table because Uncle Sam’s lieuten­ ants consider it the most harmless preparation of the sort. AU of the gum on American pos­ tage stamps is mixed by the gover- ment at the bureau of engraving and printing, where the stamps are made. It is spread on the sheets after the stamps have been print­ ed. People waste a lot of time trying to obtained things Ihey have no ea­ rthly use for.

Secretary Wilson says; “One of the objects of the law is to inform the consumer of the presence of cer­ tain harmful drugs in medicines.” The law requires that the amount of chloroform, opium, morphine and other habit forming drugs be stated on the label of ,each bottle. The manufacturers of Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy have always claimed that their remedy did not contain any of these drugs, and the truth of this claim is now fully proven, as no mention of them is made on the la­ bel. This remedy is not only one of the safest, but one of the best in use for coughs and colds. Its value has been proven beyond question during the many years it has been in general use. For sale by C.
