A New Idea in Weddings.
A Wisconsin couple on the eve of

an announcement of a novel depart-

Wliat a commentary upon the in- done, as stated in the announcement,

State! Farmers, what do you really
think about this enormus profit of
from 300 to TOO per cent in grow
ing corn and meat by a small num
ber of our own farms which are
squeezing out from 300 to 700 per
cent profit from our helpless ignor
ant cotton farmers?
Youporkeatersaud corn con
suming cotton growers, now come
to the point. If you believe your
ownselves, or believe that the Lord
takes care of fools and children
you must own up that you believe
that South Carolina has a gang of
the biggest demonstration liars in
the IaDd or you are the biggest set
of fools the land ever made.
How, I don’t believe that any
set o( men could ever fool old
Brother Dr. Knapp and bis good
co-workers into such an array of
false statements about the cost of
growing cron. Bubitw ould take
two men like you or me to believe
the speakers who assert that pork
can be grown at a cost of I i toeven
3 cents per pound, putting is all
the costs—wire fencing, pig pens
slop buckets, etc.—running the
pigB back, stopping the cracks,
thinking cuss words, and calling
“ pig ’oo.” AU cost something.
Bnt it can be demonstrated that
pork can be produced at 4 to 6
cents per pound without having
access to g crack in your neighbors
corn crib or cornfield fence, and
that is profit enough to quiet any
good Farmers’ Union brother who
has a chronic habit of ranting and
CavoUiUg about the enormous prof
its of .rust corporations, when
Standard Oil, Steel trust aud Amer
ican Harvester company stock can
be bought at about $400 to $600
above par. Think about all this
and then go and sit back and howl
about your brother union man mak
ing you pay from 300 to 700 per
cent, profit on corn and meat to
grow 10 cents cotton with.—J. C.

their married life.- So, instead of
getting a lot of useless presents, they
received a nice little sum in cash,
and with it they were able to pur
chase such articles as they needed.
Of course this was horrible, disgust
ing, etc., but there was a good deal
of common sense in it, Did you ever
look over a bride’s display of wed
ding presents without being struck
with the number of useless things
there were in the lot, and thinking
of how much money had been wast
ed by friends in the purchase of
gifts for which there would never be
any use? Besides, this Wisconsin
girl will be saved the trouble of tak
ing care of a lot of extra pickle
forks, butter knives, glass bowls,
oyster forks, jelly spoons, ladles and

Loafers Drawback to Any Town.
Charlotte Chronicle.
The Chronicle is quite partial to
Johnson City, the brisk little moun
tain metropolis at the other end of
the lane and is much gratified to
learn that the city authorities have
passed a law keeping cows off the
streets. One other thing remains to
be done and Johnson City will be a
charm to summer visitors. The
loafer is a bad advertisement for any
town. There is a town not far from
Charlotte that has a reputation for
loafers. It also has a reputation as a
poor town for business. It is a town
where the visitor is stared at and
discussed by lazy gangs that hang
about street corners, when they can
not find chairs or benches to accom
modate their flesh that is a weariness
to themselves and to all industrious
people. The store loafer as well as
the street corner loafer has been
banished from Charlotte for years.
The loafer can find no place in a city
where business hustle is the order of
the day. There are few loafers in
Salisbury, none in High Point and
and very few in Asheville or Greens
boro. The loafer is an abomination.
There is no excuse for his existence
and the town that insists on cultivat
ing him ought, at least, to keep him
in hiding.

Lexington Dispatch.
One day last week The Dispatch
received a letter from a subscriber
who has been owing for the paper

sent to a collection agency, and it
informed us that the writer thereof
in the future would do all he could
against the paper. W einviteyoui
consideration of this man for a mo
ment. He has been reading this
paper week in aud week out for
nearly four years. We have sent
him statement after statement and
he paid no attention at all. We
pleaded, cajoled, threatened, ar
gued, in vain. We hated to stop
the paper. We hate to stop any
man’s paper. But there is alway
a time of reckoning in everything,
and the time came in this case.
The day he got a letter from the
agency, he sat down and penned
us the letter mentioned. Because
we took as a last resort the only
means at our disposal to collect
what is rightfully due us, he says
he aims to use all his influence
“agin” us. We, of course, are
scared within an inch of the grave.
We are sure that a Iuaiiv. ,who will
allow a paper to come to his house
-$W !k$|mgpithoui^ Paying for it
must have a lot of influence, and
if he carries out' his threat we are
extremely likely to close down and
never more run a paper.

Winston District Conference.
An event of more than ordinary
interest to the Methodists of Davie
and surrouoding counties is the
Winston District Conference, which
convenes at Kernersville July 15,
An
interesting program has beeu pre
pared, and a very large attendance
is expected. Moeksville will send
five delegates, several are expect
ed to go lrom Cooleemee, Advance,
Farmington and the Davie circuit.
Altogether Davie county is enti
tled to over twenty-five represen
tatives at this Conference. Last
year the Conference was held at
Mocksville, and had the largest
attendance in the history of the
district, ninety-one having been
present. Th attendance this year
should be eveu larger than that of
last year,
Did you ever notice who it is
that contributes when the contri
bution box is passed around at a
church seivicef Many people are
under the impression that it is the
wealthy men and women who con
tribute most of it, but they are
badly mistaken. It is the poor
people who contribute s o per cent,
of the total collections. This seems
very strange, but it is true. And
when time is do more, we believe
that 80 per cent, of those who en
ter heaven will be of the poorer
class so far as this world’s goods
are concerned.

Value of Good Roads.
Among material improvements
which make for the- betterment of
the country the imprbvments. of
its public highways takes high
place in the public mind. Time
was when people were content ,to
travel over measly roads, at the
risk of life and limbs, the wear and
tear on drivers, wagons and teams,
and the loss of time in reaching
destinations.
The time is now ancient history
in communities whose people have
acted gone abroad and seen some
thing, or have gone abroad in men
tal excursions in newspapers and
seen through others’ eyes.
It is being more and more real
ized that villages, towns and cities
are built up by good roads, and
there is not a point however dis
tant in the country where good
roads go which do not feel aDd
show the beneficial effects in farms
and houses, and progressive meth
ods of an increased prosperity thus
gained.
Railroads are the firm friends
and liberal supporters of good
roads; for over the improved dirt
roads of the country, to the extent
of their improvement, rolls a great
volume of freight to be transport
ed to the ends of the eartfi. The
railroads have taken the lead in
the education of the people in good
roads building; and much is due
to the Southern especially in the
stimulus now apparent in the pub
lic mind and which is taking con
crete form in public effort towards
impring the public highways.
Rubber tired vehicles, especially
automobiles, the rural post deliv
ery, along with other influences
have contributed to this end.
The day is coming when it will
be both a pleasure and profit to
drive over every public road of
the county of Montgomery, of the
state of Alabama, of the United
States of America.—Montgomery
Advertiser.
One of our subscribers wants us
to get out a good roads supplement
or several special good roads edit
ions, which we would be glad to
do if Fe Iiad the money. Siioli a
good roads campaign would cost us |
at least $100, more money than we'
have received on subscription in
the past six months. Good roads
are a mighty good thing to have,
and we are heartily in favor of
them, for they would more than
double the price of land, and make
the rich man rbher. The eighty-
seven hundred acre farm that we
own in this county, would prob
ably be worth $10,000 more than
at present, Good roads would al
so benefit the poor mau in many
ways. We are glad to say that we
have but mighty few poor people
in this county except at tax-listing
t-ime. We are in favor of issuing
$500,000 in bonds to build good
roads, aud let us rich folks pay for
them. We would never miss the
money, and future generations
would rise up and call us blessed.
Articles dealing with this great
question will be gladly published.
Let every man in Davie county ex
press his sentiments on the best
wav to get good roads. Our col
umns are open.

Empty Brandy Bottle and snake in
Court House Walls.
The Weldon News says that in
tearing down the old court house at
Halifax it was found that the walls
were unsafe and would probably
have collapsed in a few years. Lit
tle or no mortar was used. It adds:
“Among the things found in the
deposit box under the comer stone
was the bottle of brandy we have all
heard so much about, but the bottle
was without the brandy, it having
been broken. On one side of the
flask was a picture of Washington
and underneath the picture appeared
the words: ‘The Father of his
Country.’ O nthe other side was
Taylor, and ‘Taylor Never Surren
ders.’
“We learn that a snake was also
found under one of the pillers and
that the snake was dead. This ac
counts, perhaps, for the absence of
the brandy from the bottle.”
Life 100,000 Years Ago.
Scientists have found in a cave in
Switzerland bones of men, who
lived 100.000 years ago, when life
was in constant danger from wild
beast. To-day the danger, as shown
by A. W . Brown of Alexander,
Me., is largely from deadly disease.
“ If it had not been for Dr. King’s
Kew Discovery, which cured hie,
I could not have lived,” he writes,
“ suffering as I did from a severe
lung trouble and stubborn cough.”
To cure Sore Lungs, Colds, obsti-
nate Coughs, and prevent Pneu-
mouia,- its the best medicine on
earth. 50c and $1.-00. Guaranteed

Alleging that the $1,000 license

! near-beer will be kept for sale, He
claims that he is not doing this with
the intention of defying the law, but
for the purpose of testing an ordi
nance which he believed to be ille
gal and which he was confident
would not receive the sanction of
the courts.

“It would be hard to overstate

since she began t 3 use Electric Bit

of Danford, Me. “ Although pi
70 she seems really to be growing
young again. She suffered untold

A Good Woman Gone.
In the death of Mrs. C. C. San
ford, which occurred at her home
in this city last Mondaj' morning,
July 5th, Moeksville loses one of
her best women, the church one of
its most faithful membors, the hus
band a kind and loving wife, and
the children the best of mothers.
Mrs. Sanford had been ill only a
short time, and her death, while
not unexpected, caused a deep
gloom to settle over the entire
town. Mrs. Sanford was a consis
tent member of the Presbyterian
church, an earnest and faithful
worker in the vineyard of the
Lord, and her friends were nnm
bered by the score. She leaves a
husband, six sons and two daugh
ters to mourn her loss. The sons
are Messrs. Will, Frank, Rufus,
Edward, Hugh and John, the two
first-named IiviDg in Chattanooga,
Messrs. Hugh and John being trav
eling men, and Messrs. Rufns and
Edward living in this city with
their parents. Thetwo daughters
are Mrs. Robert Faucette, of Dur
ham, and Miss Mary Sanford, of
this city. Mrs. Sanford was about.
66 years of age. The funeral ser
vices were conducted Tuesday af
ternoon by her pastor, Rev. E. P.
Bradley, after which the remains
were gently laid to rest in Joppa
cemetery to await that glad morn
when the dead in Christ shall rise
and see Him face to face, and take
up their abode on high, where
there is no more sorrow, no more
tears, and no more partings. Mrs.
Sanford will be missed from the
home, from the church, and by her
friends who are left behind, but
she leaves a lasting influence which
will never die, but live on and on
through the ages to come. Much
more could be said concerning this
good mother in Israel who has
been called to her eternal home
beyond this vale of tears, but what
greater tribute could be paid her
than to say that she was a Chris
tian. All other things fade into
nothingness when the death angel
visits the home and plucks the
choicest flower, and the spirit takes
its flight. She is not dead, but
sleepeth, The great Book of Books
says that “ Blessed are they which
die in the Lord.” To the aged
and bereaved husband, and to the
sons and daughters who have lost
their mother—the dearest and best
frieDd on earth—The Record ex
tends deepest sympathy and points
them to the great Comforter who
has promised to be a Father to the
orphan, and who has also prom
ised to be comfort the sorrowing,
to Him who doeth all things well.

Sayings of Mrs. Solomon.
Washington Herald.
Verily, verily, my daughter,
when a mar. proposeth unto a mai
den, why doth she always say,
“This is so sudden!”
Yea, why is she so “surprised?”
For. by the time he hath dis
covered that it is “different” from
other maidens, hath she not al
ready made up her mind whether
to be married in white satin or a
going-away gown?
And by the time be hath begun
to think of a flat and decided upon
the furnishings?
Yet, lo! when, after many weary
moons, the proposal cometh, her
ears are not prepared for what she
heareth.and she is astounded!
For, mark by siow degrees— evt n
by inches—she landeth him.
Behold how she leaddth him in
to dim cozy corners and beside the
still waters of the conservatory
fountain, where all is propitious.
Yet, he apeaketh not.
She standeth with him upon the
mountain top and sitteth beside
him upon the lonely beach; and
saith in her heart, “now—or nev
er—he will speak up!”
Yet he remainech silent.
She lureth him into the green
fields at twilight. She becometh
affrighted at strange cows and
things in the dark. She rusheth
unto him for protection and falleth
in his arms. Yethistonguecleav-
eth to the roof of his mouth.
She maketh him at home in the
dining room and feedeth him from
the chafing dish. She weareth a
dotted Swiss apron and playeth
the “domestic.”
She introduceth him unto her
siBter’s children significantly. But
he will not be moved!
Then, in her despair, she giveth
it up, saying unto herself, ‘‘Go to!
There is nothing doing. Lo! I
have wasted my time. Yea, I have
wasted my time. Yea, Ihave eat
en of fruit of the lemon tree!”
And in her wrath she picketh a
quarrel with him and leavefli him
in a buff.
Yet on the following day, when
she saileth forth in a mackintosh
and rubbers, he meeteth her upon
the muddy street corner. And then
lo! beneath a dripping umbrella
and between two trolly cars with
the eyes of the multitude upon
them, he exclaimeth:
Say, I can’t staud this thing any
longer! When wilt, thou marry me!
Yet, let her gather the fruit of
her labors and let praise him; for,
for, peradventure, in all the days
of her life she ehall get nothing
nearer to a real proposal! Selah!

Saints And Sinners Stung At A
RevivaL
Boston, Ga., Ju n el?.-A great re
vival in progress at the Babtist
Church here was broken up By the
swarming of yellow jackets, which
had built nests back of the pulpit.
The services were at high tension,
the preacher being engaged in call
ing sinners to the mourners, bench,
when the hornets began to dart out
from their nests and sting saints and
sinners alike, women screamed and
many of the men said thing3 that
had no churehly sound, Then the
congregation broke into a panic and
bolted from the church, leaving the
jackets in possession.
Sensible Authorities.
The bushel or so of love letters
and photographs from infatuated
American girls which were found
in the room of Leon Ling, the

lice are combing the continent for,

THE CURSE OF THE SOUTH.
Wliat is the matter with the South? According to Government report
of 1908, ‘‘The Secret is out at Last:”—The Southerner, contrary to cur
rent opinion is not Lazy, Shiftless, Indifferent, or Careless. “He is Sick.”
The South is afflicted with and harbors that most dreaded treacherous and
destructive of all diseases, Anemia, Pernicious Anemia. The average
Southerner is a sufferer of this Health destroying Parasite which destroys
the red blood cells producing an impoverished condition of the Blood;
which is characterized by extreme Pallor, General Debility, Weakness,
Loss of Vigor—Lack of Ambition, and general undermining of Vitality.
The Climate and Atmospheric conditions destroy the Vitality. Let him
get over it, get rid of it, get well, and he is as good physically as the best
America can boast. If there is health of the slightest degree in your sys
tem, Wake it up, call it forth. Pull yourself together, man, woman or
child; all can and should be well. To neglect yo'urself is to reflect upon
the wisdom of your Maker. Nature intends all Humanity to enjoy a full
measure of Health and Vigor. If you do not, the fault is your own, for
you are yourself to blame for it. Wonders have been accomplished for
the People of Tennessee, Georgia, Alabama and Mississippi. Let us now
do as much for the People of the Carolinas. A postal will bring you the

What “We Missionaries” Concealed
Watson’s Jeffersonian Weekly.
In the Christian ehureh at Craw-
fordsville, Indiana, the Rev. Paul
Wakefield, of Springfield, Illinois,
gave a talk Tuesday evening, two
weeks ago.
Among other things, Mr. Wake
field said:
llThere are more women mission
aries degraded by.Chinese men than
jthsre-aM^yiinegfe converted.
“The tragic term ination of the Chi
natown rom ance of Elsie Sigel and
her two Mongolian suitors has uncov
ered the evils of the system oi indi
vidual religious instruction which is
alm ost universal in the Chinese m!s-
sions.
“ W e m issionaries have known this
for a long tim o and were not surprised
when we read of Elsie Sigel’s tragic
d eath ,”
Reader, do some thinking! Re
member that Klsie Sigel, the grand
daughter of General Franz !Sigel,
had devoted her young life to the
sacred work of converting the Chi
nese to the religion of Christ. The
mother of the girl consented to her
doing this. Both mother and daugh
ter felt sure that such work was ap
proved of Godand would redound
to His glory.
To make a long story short, the
young enthusiast was ruined by
one or more of her converts, and
after apparently living in immoral
relations with one of them, she was
‘>6fes£ed to death in bis bed room
and her body hidden in a trunk.
A great sensation followed the find
ing of the corpse and, as the Rev;
Paul Wakefield said, this shock
ing murder “uncovered the evils
of the system.’’
Mr. Wakefield declares that the
dangerous methods of individual
^on which cost Elsie Sigel
lie. he, her life and perhaps
her soul’s salvation, “is almost uni
versal in Chinese missions.”
That is a statement to fill one
with dismay. But the worst of all
is the Reverend Paul’s admission
that “ we missionaries have known
this a long time.”
Known what? That the system
of mission work now1 in operation
was causing the degradation of
more women missionaries than
there were Chinese converted.
They knew this, they had long
known it, and they kept it cover
ed up!
Upon my word, I think that is
the most infamous statement that
a minister of the Gospel ever made.
What! “ We missionaries” knew
that these slant-eyed, lecherous
Chinese wolves were pretending to
become converts in order that they
might win the confidence of pure,
unsuspecting Christian girls and
destroy them!
The missionaries knew that the
Caucasian women were being ruin
ed by the hypocritical “converts,”
and they kept the hideous secret
to themselves.
Did “ we missionaries” warn the
girls, who were about to go blind
ly into that vile association? No.
Did “we missionaries” warn the
would-
be missionary girls? No. Did “ we
missionaries” tell the people about
it, in the missiouary sermon? No.
Was any hint of it dropped in the
reports to Conventions, Conferen
ces and Synods? No. D id an ycf
the missionary papers or maga
zines put yon and your sisters and
daughters on your guard! No.
“ We missionaries had known it
a long time,” but we kept it to
ourselves! Why? Because a knowl
edge of the appalling truth would
have brought- the deluded people
to their senses and the missionary
collections would have fallen off!
SnpposethatI had charged this
horrible evil upon the missionary
methods—would the missionaries
have confessed it? You know that
they would not. They would have
denied it bitterly. Bui Elsie Sig
el’s dead body, discovered in the
bed-room of one of the bright and
shining Chinese “converts,” “ un
covered the evils of the system.”
“ We missionaries” knew of those
evils, and had kuown of them a
long time! But we kept the lid
on. We saw our Christian sisters
walking bliudly to perdition and
we did not say one word to save
them!
Merciful God! How could any
thing be more infamous?
If “we missionaries” could keep
covered up such frightful condit
ions in the mission work among
the Chinese of New York, what is
it that they could not keep cover
ed up in the mission work in China?
You did not know that Chinese
rakes were wearing Christian clo
thes to get the chance to debase
Caucasian girls. “ We missionar
ies” knew it, but kept the secret.
What other seeretB are they
keeping?
The terrible confession of Rev.
Paul Wakefield ought to damn this
whole uuscriptural system of lor-
eign missions.
The missionaries who kept that
awful secret are not much better’
than the Chinamen who mined the
girls.

The Lone Rowan Lyncher Caught.
Salisbury Post, 10th.
■ George Hall, of Salisbury, who
was convicted in 1906 of participat
ing in the triple lynching that oc
curred here that year and who es
caped from the penitentiary last Oc
tober, was arrested in Spartanburg,
S. C., this week, and accompanied
by an officea, passed through Salis
bury yesterday afternoon on his way
to Raleigh to serve out his unexpir
ed term. Of his arrest the Spartan
burg Journal says:
“George Hall, alias George Wag
ner, wanted in Rowan county, N. C.,
to finish serving out a sentence of 15
years, he having been convicted of
the charge of having participated in
a lynching in that county, was ar
rested at his home near Saxon Mills
Wednesday evening.
“After being arrested and lodged
in jail Hall admitted that he was the
man wanted in Salisbury. He said
that he was convicted in 1806 of the
charge of being implicated in the
lynching of three men. Fifteen men
were indicted and tried on the same
charge, but he was the only man con
victed. After serving two years and
four months he made his escape and
came to Spartanburg and went to
work as a carpenter. When he came
to Spartanburg he changed his name
to George Wagner. Since coming
here he has found steady employ
ment in the city, having worked on
a large number of houses in various
sections of the city. He is married
and has seven children.”

Terrific Indictment of Cigarettes.
Hudson Maxim, the great powder
expert, in a recent interview on the
subject of cigarettes, closed with this
terrific indictment of the little white
pipes:
“If all the boys could be made to
know that with every breath of ciga
rette smoke they inhale imbecility
and exhale manhood; that they are
tapping their arteries as surely and
letting their life’s blood out as truly
as though their veins and arteries
were severed; and that the cigarette
is a maker of invalids, criminals and
fools^-not men—it ougnt to deter
them some. The yellow finger stain
is an emblem of deeper degradation
and enslavement than the ball and
chain.

Early Not a Leper.
John R. Early, the North Carolin.
ian who became ill in Washington
nearly a year ago and whose case
was diagnosed as leprosy, is declared
not to be a leper by Dr. Bulkeley,
of the New York Skin and Cancer
hospital, where Early was taken for
treatment a week ago. Dr. Bulke
ley says that after a careful examin
ation not the slightest trace of the
baccilus of leprosy was found. But
is a precaution, he said, Early will
probably be kept at the hospital for
a week or more, so that the diagnosis
may be confirmed by other dermatol
ogists. The doctor says Early's
trouble was a simple inflammation
of the skin caused by alkali used in
the pulp mill where he formally
worked in North Carolina.
Early was kept in isolation at
Washington for nearly a year under
the supposition that he had leprosy
and eminent physicians, including
an expert from Copenhagen, confirm
ed the diagnosis of the Washington
physicians^______________
A Good Idea.
Guilford connty commissioners last
week ordered 100 guide posts at the
crossings and forks of all the princi
pal public roads in that county. In
addition to directing the traveler
these posts will give the distance to
the principal points in the county.
The posts are of iron and of neat de
sign. Good idea. Along with the
improvement of the public highways
this idea will be generally adopted
und public watering places will also
be provided at convenient points.
AU these improvements and conven
iences are evidences of civilization
and progress. They go along with
improved farming operations and
the improvement of farm homes.—

Davie county could use a few sign
posts to good advantage, and'‘the

AT THE PHONE.
Maud Muller, on a summer, day,
Called, “ Number, please,” to earn
her pay.
Before her, numbers, printed small , ]
Fell dowu when any one would
call. I
The JtKlge took down his office I
phone,
And made to Maud his wishes
■ known.
Said he, “ I’11 ask you just once
more,
For four eieven-forty-fonr.”
Said Maud, as mild as summer
seas,
‘What number did you ask for,
please!”
Said he, iT told you twice before,
It's four-eleven-forty-four.”
Said Maud, and you could hear
her smile,
“Just hold the phone a little
while.”
A weary interval ensued;
The wires hummed an interlude.
And broken bits of talk came o’er
The phone, and made the waiter
sore.
The wishbone-shaped receiever
hook,
He seized upon and wildly shook,
Till Maud’s voice he heard once. s.more:
‘What number are you waiting
for?”
The Judge responded with a roar,
“It’s four-eleven-forty-four.”
Serenely Maud made answer then,
“That line is busy; call again.”
The Judge had business late that
day,
And so he merely walked away.'
But as he walked he shook his
. head,
And this is whajj he sadly said:
“Of all sad words of tongire--(a;
pen,
The saddest are, ‘Busy; call a-
gain.”

Fanners In Politics.
Of course the politicians want
farmers tol et politics alone. The
clan of robber barons who control
the prices of bread and coal, want
to be let alone. Of course they do.
Every man who has a dishonest
purpose in his life wants his busi
ness let alone. Oh, yes, farmers
will keep out of politics when pro
fessional politicians become honest
men. They only want their em
ployees in the legislature and pub
Iii offices to do their work honestly
and faithfully, and then they will
let them alone. But so long as
these servants are cowards, time-
servers, dissimulators, toadies and
other pleasant things too numerous
to mention, just so long will farm
ers keep in politics, and contrive
to go in deeper untill they have
driven out enough of“ the rascals”
to get justice for themselves.
Farmers should go into politics,
and go in to stay.—Centre Har-
monizer.

COUNTERFEIT MONEY.
Lookoutfor suspicious $2 bills.
Itis said that counterfeit money
made in Italy has been sent to this
country to the extent of one million
dollars. One railroad company has
already been hit for $30,000 of these
bogus bills.—The Jeffersonian.
Thiswarningisnotworth a cent
to us, as we never get our hands on
any kind of bills, and one of any de
scription would take our breath.

INQUIRY. ~
Mn. Editor-.—When the farmer
was getting $1 50 and §1.60 for his
wheat, the consumer paid §4 foi
flour. Now the farmer is getting
§110 and §1-25 for his wheat, anf
the consumer is haviDg to pay §3.80
f,r his In eaI. Can you explain
this difference! The wheat iu a
sack of flour is costing the millet
from 75 cents to §1.05 less, yet th<
cvttisumer is pay it g within 20<ents
ol the price he paid before the
price of wheat came down. It
there a miller's trust to keep u]
the price of (iour, regardless of tbi
price of wheat?

What is the matter with the South? According: to Government report
of 1908, “The Secret is out at Last:”—The Southerner, contrary to cur
rent opinion is not Lazy, Shiftless, Indifferent, or Careless. “He is Sick.”
The South is afflicted with and harbors that most dreaded treacherous and
destructive of all diseases, Anemia, Pernicious Anemia. The average
Southerner is a sufferer of this Health destroying Parasite which destroys
the red blood eells producing an impoverished condition of the Blood;
which is characterized by extreme Pallor, General Debility, Weakness,
Loss of Vigor—Lack of Ambition, and general undermining of Vitality.
The Climate and Atmospheric conditions destroy the Vitality. Let him
get over it, get rid of it, get well, and he is as good physically as the best
America can boast. If there is health of the slightest degree in your sys
tem, Wake it up, call it forth. Pull yourself together, man, woman or
child; all can and should be well. To neglect yourself is to reflect upon
the wisdom of your Maker. Nature intends all Humanity to enjoy a full
measure of Health and Vigor. If you do not, the fault is your own, for
you are yourself to blame for it. Wonders have been accomplished for
the People of Tennessee, Georgia, Alabama and Mississippi. Let us now
do as much for the People of the Carolinas. A postal will bring you the
necessary information. Send no money. Write today. Don’t neglect
