03-MarchNorth Carolina Prodncts Benefitted by Proposed Canadian Reciprocity. Cotton seed oil will enter Canada from the United States free of duty under the pending reciprocity legis lation. It is at present taxed by Canada at the rate of Ili per cent, ad valorem. The value of Canada’s concession of free cotton-seed oil may be measured by the fact that in the calendar year 1910 we exported to Canada $1,111,443 of cotton-seed oil, on which she collected approxi mately $195,000'in duties. The con cession is of interest to'North Caro lina since the m anufactured cotton seed!o0Tet««.ranks'among her^fead- ing half-dozon industries, according to the United States Census of Man ufactures of 1905; which states North Carolina’s output of the oil at 6,- 269,062 gallons, valued at $1,600,950. Fresh vegetables and fruits are made free by Ganada under the agreement, when'importedjfrom the United States. Her ratio upon po tatoes has been twenty cents per bushel, and upon most other vege tables thirty per cent, ad valorem. Upon fresh fruits her general rate has been two cents per pound, ap ples, being taxed forty cents per bushel. During the year ended March 31,1910, the United States shipped to Canada fresh fruits and vegetables aggregating $2,137,000 in value, which were taxed more than $500,000 by Ganada. The removal of all restrictive duties by Canada on this class of importations offers a large.opportunity for North Caro lina's early potatoes and garden or - orchard produce. North Carolina produced $1,498,000 ofvpotatoes dur ing the calendar year 1909. Oysters in any state will be ad mitted by Canada free of duty when from this country .^Heretofore can ned oysters have been taxed three cents per package when in pint tins, and five cents per package when in quart tins; and these rates have been well nigh prohibitive. North Carolina put up $177,000 of canned oysters in 1905. Peanuts are to enter Canada from the United States at one-fourth of the present duties of unshelled or at one-third of the present duties if shelled. Ganada imported about $85,000 of unshelled peanuts from the Uniled States in the year ended March 31, 1910, and about $41,000 of shelled peanuts.§§;She collected approximately $40,000 more in du ties on this characteristic North Car olina product than if the pending reciprocity had been in force. In place of two cents per pound on un shelled peanuts Canada will levy on ly one-half a cent per pound, and in place of three cents per pound on shelled peanuts she will levy but one cent per pound. Farm wagons from the United States will be admitted into Canada at a reduction of ten per cent, from her former rate, which was one- fourth of the value of the wagon. During Canadian fiscal year 1910 Ganada purchased $218,000 worth of farm wagons from the United States. North Carolina might compete for a porsion of this business, inasmuch as her manufactures of wagons and carriages in 1905 were valued at $2,304,000. Only a Few Days More. The Legislatare will adjourn March 4th and not very much time remains to transact the most im portant business that confronts that body. Unfortunately such ie al ways the case and what is of most interest iB put through with a rush while such measures as ‘-protect in g rainbow tront, ’possums, squir rels and other wild animals,’' ap pointing magistrates, etc., has in a measQre occupied much time and ,attention. Itis no wonder that adjournment always brings a sigh of relief The agitation of new and perplexing measures is always occasion for uneasiness in the pub- 1*C mind and to such an extent that longer periods between ses sions is often diseussed with more or lees expressions of favor,—Ex.

We hear a great deal of woman’s rights, but the rights of the father in the home are rarely emphasized. Yet ifc seems to me that the neg lect of the welfrre of the mascu line head of the household is often extremely culpable. Young mothers absorbed in the new delights]of the wonderful ba by, have a fashion of setting aside the husband and father, and of expecting him to worship at the shrine of the king who has usurped bis place. Is it any wonder that the man, pushed aside from the heart where he has reigned su preme, should let bitterness creep in, and finally, perhaps, indiffer ence? Do you remember how in “ Lit tle Women,” Meg complained to her mother that her husband did not seem to enjoy his homeas much as in the first dajs of their mar ried life, and do you remember how the wise mother said: “You have made the mistake that most yoang wives make, forgotten yojir duty for your husband in your love for yonr child. This is just the time, Meg, when yonng married people are apt to grow apart, and the very time when they ought to be most together;*for the first ten derness soon wears off unless care is taken to preserve it, and no time is so beautiful and precious to parents as the first years of the little lives given them to train. Do not let John be a stranger to the babies, for they will do more to keep him safe and happy in the world of trial andltemptation than anythlng;else,:and through them you will learn to know and love one another as you should.” The yoang mother should under stand that the baby needs in his infancy to have only his physical wants satisfied. • All the wealth of affection poared oat upon him will not make him happier, except as it contributes to warmth and food,, sunshine and Ireah air. Uut her husband needs mental and spiri tual uplift, such as she only can give him; therefore, a passionate absorption in her cnild is not fool ish, but is extremely unnecessary when considered in the lighi of her obligation to the child’s father. Such wives often complain of the cooling of their husband’s love for them. They cannot realize that it is they who have first with drawn from the old, tender rela* tionahip of two and two. The ba by need never separate a couple anless the mother so obtrudes its personality between herself and husband that h e . grows jealous, hence indifferent. But it is not always the young mothers who make the mistake of overlooking the father’s rights. I know of one family, in which the father, a lawyer, was simply drain ed of all his vitality to meet the needs of a household, which had no pity on him. His wife, a gentle invalid, was absorbed in the social futures of her daughters, and the professional futures of her sons. Her ambitions leap ed beyond the present, and she aslked for money, money constantly fihat she might educate and train .’tier children for the career that she had mapped out lor them. Meanwhile her hus band toiled, Bitting up late at night, burning^ the midnight oil, coming honie fagged and weary, to a iiome in which no one sat up for him, or, if his wife was awake, to listen to her querulous complaints. Yet she thought she loved him When he died, she awoke with a shock to the fact that for years she had not lightened his burdens by one act of self-sacrifiee or consid eration. The children, who had looked upon their father as a bank er, realized for the first time that they had missed their opportunity to help him and sustain him. They came to the knowledge of his rights foo late. The man, wi*o is the jhead of the house, deserves consideration, rc- spect, and sympathy. He must not be set aside for the whims of his daughters or the selfish de mands of bis sons. It is for the wife and mother to see that tLe dignity of his position is uphetd. She can do it if she will, and if she is wise sbe will not neglect to give him his just.dues.—Dolly Madison In Philadelphia Press. Bring the Bright Yonng People Back to the Old Country Home. Have you ever in driving through the country, passed 'one of those big, roomy, old-fashioned houses that was at one time the home of a prosperous farmer? The children have romped from attic to base ment, you almost imagine you can hear their many, voices. The me mory comes back to you, perhaps of the happy evening you have spent with the famiiy, gathered around the wood fire, you can in fancy seeJhe shadows on the wall thrown back from the great blaze, in the big fireplace- Yon catch yourself listening to Eee if you can not hear the sound of wheels as the family carriage comes around to the front gate to take the fam ily over to preaching at the little country ohurch overjyonder in the pines. No, it is all a dream, the family has gone to town to live; the boys some to travel on the road, others to sell goods behind the counter for fifteen hours a day; others are perhaps twisting the brakes on street cars. The father and mother sit and wish for the old home back in the country. You stop and look long at the old house; the blinds are hanging by one hinge, the lights are gone from the upper windows, old rags are stopping the windows of one or two of the lower rooms that are furnishing shelter for the family ol some “cropper” who is working (?) the old farm on shares. The fence is gone that once enclosed the big family garden, with its gravel walks and box hedges. The scale is slowly sapping the life' out ol the fine old apple trees from which the boys used to gather those glo rious Winesaps and Limbertwigs. It is a sad picture is it not, and will it noj be a grand thing wbeD we get the family back in the old home, the house repaired and pain ted, the big carringe back in the barn, the farm and labor adjusted to present day conditions, the love for the soil' re-established in the heart, of all the members of the household? ^-Indeed it will; and then we will be started tnward a more permanently profitable agri culture.—The Progressive Farmer.

If stockings are a quarter a foot, how much are they a pound? A square, deal meets a round of applause. Talking about absorbing topics, how about alsponge? It is a shame the way railroads are tied down. Gossip has the wings of a swal low. the face of an angel, the ton gue of an adder and the conscience of a stone. A show that has a corkscrew for the opening performance is apt to give one a headache the next day. The man who sits down to wait for something to turn up will need a cushion on his seat. They say virtue is easy ■ after fifty, but the thing is to live long enough to be virtuous.

Olu Fashioned Kissing. Philadelphia Enquirer. Sirs. Gabriel (ominous name), member of the Just Governmeut League, whatever that is, and pro minent Baltimore suffragette, which we all uiideretand comes out a- gainst kissing. She declares it to be unsanitary, and while she re grets that her organization ha3 ta ken no official action in the prem ises, she announces*that there is a decided anti-osculation sentiment among us. It may seem unkind to say so, but most suffragettes do not suffer iD a sanitary -way from kisses. They are too apt to be unattractive. There are, we sup pose, some good-looking and warm hearted, although we’have never seen any, but the average suffra gette is what Shakespeare calls “a maid not vendible.” However, the worst Usi yet to come. Says Mrs. Gabriel: “The otter meaninglessness of the j’per formance, to say nothing of the un sanitary ^element of it, 'should have killed the kiss ilong ago,” Here is where the esteemed lady is wrong. Kisses are not meaningless. They often mean a great deal. Only last week a judge held that a kiss misapplied was cause for a divorce. Many a man kissed a girl in a pla- tonic way only to find that he waB considered engaged. Moreover, the kisses that are not given have a vast amount of meaning. The man who goes home at night and does not kiss his wife finds out that it means-a’great deal. Or if he kisses another woman it means much more. It is absurd to say that kisses have no meaning. They are the visible expression of an 'inward meaning. They are of many kinds. Some are merely formal, while oth ersgotothe other extreme. We will admit that some kisses should be abolished. There is no greater waste of. good raw material in the world than the kissing of women by women. Here is apt to be treachery, and in no case can there be that quality which is supposed to inhere in a well-regulated bisex ual kiss. But otherwise we think that os culation will remain for a few thousand years in spite of the re former and all the germ- specialists who ever lived. Without pretend ing to exact knowledge on the sub ject, it is a fair inlerence that Adam didn’t eat that apple : until Eve had beguiled him with a kiss. It is a way women have. Between kisses and tears they get all theie is in it for them and at times a great deal more than is good for them. If suffragettes want to reform this world they should turn their attention to directions where suc cess is possible, unless, as may be the case, they are simply talking to get a^Cirtain amount of notori ety in the secret belief that men are doing pretty well for them af ter all. Origin of a Song.' The grumbling of a negro gioom led to the composition of the im mortal ,“Old Folks at Home.” While waiting for a change of horjses at a Kentucky holstelry the composer, Stephen Foster, author of so many beloved darkey melo dies, heard a melancholy negro murmur as he threw a set of har ness to the ground: “I’s sick an’ tired o’ dis life. I wisht I was back wif de ole folks at home.” “ Where may that be Sam?” ask ed Foster. “Oh,” answered the darkey, “way down on the Suwanee river.” The result was the song as we have it today.

A young gentleman happening to sit in church in a pew adjoining one in which sat a youtg' lady for whom he conceived a sudden and violent passion, was desirous of en tering into a courtship on the spot; but the place not suiting a formal declaration, the exigency of the case suggested the following plan: He politely handed his fair neigh bor a Bible (open) with a pen stuck in the following text: Second Ep istle of John, verse fifth—“And now I beseech thee, lady, not as though I wrote a new command ment unto thee, but that which we had from the beginning, that we love one another.” She returned it pointing to the second chapter of Ruth, verse tenth—“Then she fell on her face and bowed herself to the ground, and said nnto him, ‘Why, have I found grace in thine eyes, that thy shouldst take know ledge of me seeing that I am a stranger?” He returned the book, pointing to the thirteenth verse of the Third Epistlo of John—“Hav ing many things to write upon to you, I would not write with paper and ink, but I trust to come unto you, and speak face to face, that our joy may be full.” From the above interview a marriage took pla.e the ensuing week. Your lime will come—but it won’t wait if you are not ready. A woman hopes to look better after visiting an oculist. Answering Civil Questions. Ohio State Journal. There is a bill before the Missouri ligislature which makes it adrnis- demeanor for a railroad agent to refuse to answer a civil question; meaning probably an uncivil ans wer to a civil question. It would be so hard to inforce such a law that it would be better not to have it at all. But the bill doubtless has its origin in a situation. There are many, many uncivil answers to questions asked by the traveling public. Many of them are no doubt so simple and unnecessary as to a- ronse the impatience of the agent and so he sputters out a swift and unsatisfactory answer. One cannot altogether blame him, for we would all do about as he does if we were in his place. But this, of course, is no excuse. The Bible somewhere commends those who are “ not easily provok ed,’’ and so the spirit of- gentility and kindness should-ever be on its guard against those who attack it with ignorant a n d thoughtless questions. And then it is really a great pleasure, even in moments of provocation to be serene, kindly and submissive. And it should al so be remembered that many peo-. pie travel so little that when they do stray from home they are so suspicious of th“ir own knowledge and ability that they reach out for siipp >rt in every direction. They are entitled to consideration. They should be tenderly cared for.

Columbia (S. C.) State. In the good ol<l days when Hor ace Greeley was telling the farmers and the school teachers what to do ambitious men used to grope their way iuto the West and take up quarter sections arranging at the same time a proper defense against the Iadiaus and praying nightly that in good time a railroad would pass near their property ai d eu able them to market whatever their laads could be persuaded to yield. “ Go West, young man!” met with a hearty response and despite many and great obstacles the West was ,won aud most of those who went iu to the new country' eventual wealih and prosperity. Some people think that with the pastiug of the opportunity iu the West there is no further chance to emigrate. Yet the South offers op portunities incomparably better than any the Westever did or could offer. We have uo land3 to give away, it is true, but it is possib’e to buy a fair acreage in the South lor about what the trip West used to cost. Moreover, the land that would be obtained in the South is good laud, capable of producieg the finest crops, and so situated that these crops can be easily marketed. The climate here is far and away better than the climate in the West and there are just about as good people in the South as can be fouud anywhere in the world.. Some persons foolishly imagine that the clothes makes the man. Fine feathers does not make a fine bird, except some time a jailbird The insane love for fine and fash ionable clothing has been the be- , t-saicg of a downward lifeof many a boy or girl. Those New Yorkers who spend $6,000 a year on dress are not a bit more manly than your e Utor. who, by the way, was nev er in his life tempted to spend that much a year oq dress. In fact, he has decided to wear his last year’s suit another vear.—Ex. The Bright Side. The ability of always seeing the bright side or shining up the dark one is a blessing to the person who possesses the power as well as to those, with whom he has to do. It changes opr daily struggle in the performance of duty iuto playing the joyful game of life. Instead of the home being a place of growling and grumbling, it becomes a place of laughter and song.

WEDNESDAY, MARCH IS, 1911 "NUMBER SB Unde Tobys Lecture “Failures In Life” Uncle Toby, in Home and Farm. The world in its mad race for wealth, power, influence and posi tion in society is verging on insan ity. In the rapidity of our material progress we are sacrificing sound principles of morality. Abovethe doors of every Board of Trade build ing and the offices of every great corporation, as well as of most pri vate institutions, may as well be written the words, “ Get money.” And this is as mild as your TJncle Toby can put it. In the hearts of some of the men who strive in those places are written dark thoughts as to HOW to “get money” and what they will do with it when it comes into their posession. We are all moved along to some extent with this busy throng of money getters. Our environments make it necessary. Bnt happy and blessed are they who are content with moderate means of subsistence who have not joined the mad race for the glittering baublesof wealth, power and high social position. Blessed are they who have chosen some fixed purpose in life, no dif ference how humble, and are striv ing to better their condition of the human race. We often hear it said of this man or that one, “ He is a success,” when as a matter of fact their lives have been failures. The most sordid purpose in life is the inordinate desire to “get money.” The apostle Paul tells us that “ the love of money is the root of all evil.” The readers of Home and Farm innst not think that Uncle Toby is cranky on this subject of getting money. There is a difference be tween getting money for legitimate purposes, to buj the necessities and comforts of life, and providing for old age, and the accumulation of large fortunes tor the sake of the power and priviliges it gives to its possessor. This shoe will not pinch the feet of many readers of Home and Farm. It is this passion for getting money that is demoralizing to the higher and nobler objects and aspirations of our lives. The young men of our land are falling victims to the mania and permitting t-hem- Belves to be drawn into the maels trom of its* destructive influence. In ninety-nine cases out of a hun dred the young man of today, in choosing a vocation for life, first asks himself the question, ‘ ‘ What is it that presents the best oppor tunities for making money.” In most cases they do not stop to con sider their fitnes for the vocation which they choose. It is not how can I best serve the hnman race and elevate the material, moral or spiritual condition of mankind. How can I make the most money? That is the question uppermost in their mitds. Thus a whole family of Christian boys will engage in some line of commercial enterprise. Hota preacher, not a lecturer, not a tea cher, not a student of science or an inventor in the whole lot, but all scrambling after the almighty dol lar, with the one purpose in life of piling up wealth and adding noth ing perhaps to the nobler talents with which God endowed them. When men accumulate great wealth their lives are said to be a success. There are some exceptions, but .as a rule the lives of such men are failures. To eat, die and rot; that makes up the three chapters in such men’s lives. It is a sad commen tary on our civilization, but it is true. The man who plants a tree . by the wayside, that some weary trav ' eler in the future may rest under its shade, is a benefactor to the human race than he who, with sordid pur- po >e has amassed millions of wealth. The mother who puts her whole soul and strength and mind in tl e one purpose to develop, strengthen aodqxtend to fields of usefulness the intelluctnal, moral and spirit ual qualities of her children, is a thousand times more useful to the world than all the miserly million aires of wealth that ever lived. The life of buch a woman is a grand suc cess, and her tribe is many. To the lives of such women the world owes its moral progress. It is up to the mothers of the land to do all in their power to stay the rising tide of this money-getting mania. Our sons and daughters should be taught that unless they accom plish something besides merely get ting money and property their lives are failures. I would rather be a Luther Bur bank than to have all the gold in the world. I would rather be a Thomas Enison than to have been the greatest general that ever lived. I would rather feed a deserving hungry man than to be able to es- tablis h a great library with the kind of money some of our noted philan thropists (?) and donating. The widow’s mite is greater than all the millions of tainted money. In an exhibition recently given by a railroad company whose lines extend over a large portion of Wes tern and Southwestern territory, the principal attraction was ' a “ Model Farm.” It covered enough space in the building to show all the conveuienees and beauty of a well-planned modern farm, with houses, barns and other buildings. It als.o showed the up to-date ma chine./ for the ecenomic produc tion of crops. The lesson taught by that model shall be felt during all the coming ages. I can conceive of no higher purpose 'n life on the part of a young man than that -of making, in his own neighborhood, a model farm, one that will be an object lesson for his fellow farmers. The field of agriculture presents golden opportunities for success. Farming is one of the most honor able occupations. Whoever dis covers a law of nature and applies it to the end of increasing produc tion is not only a successful man and a genius, but is a philanthrop ist of the highest type. No man’s life need be a failure. The small wheels in a watch are as important as the large ones. • Each has its work to do. So in this old world of ours, all have a mission to perform. That man’s life is a failure only who lives for himself alone. The little wife who kisses her husband as he goes to his daily toil; the child who pins a flower on the lapel of his coat; the baby who looks up at him and smiles—all are in inspiration to him and help him along in the battle for bread. The man who gives nothing to society and takes all from it that he can get is a failure. The young man who chooses a vocation for which he is not fitted or prostitutes his manhood to some ignoble purpose or calling is a fail ure. A man’s actions may be great yet his purposes so small and the results of his life work so insignifi cant that he may be said to be a failure. With the widow’s “ mites” no universities were endowed, no libraries were established or monu ments erected, but the act has come down to us through the rolling cen turies with the words of truth from the lowly Nazarene: “ Verily I say unto you, that this poor widow hath cast more in than all they which have cast into the treasury.” — Mark 12:42. It was only two mites, less than a penny, but it was all 1 she had. The life of that womaniwas opt failure. It is the little things of life that make up the whole, and if the little thingsare right-our whole life is right-. ■. There is no reason to become discouraged; there is some thing for all to do and it lies before us right at our doors. We have on* Iy to look about us and we shall see more to do,/perhaps, v.han we areIwilling oij able to' do. Don’t, let JifeJbe a failure. - ■ To The People of The South. It is up to yon to settle the ques tion of bringing people to cnllivate the millions of idle acres in the South. Listen! the Western rail roads are constantly working to draw away our people; to take their fares and have them produce traffic. One of them is calling on the people of a western state to “ write to every one you know in the east” and try to induce ttyem to come west. Now let us go them one better, and write to every one you know in the west and try to get them to come “back home” for most of them are Southerners and under present conditions can do better in the south than any where in the world. Do not onlj ask your own friends and relatives to come “ back home,’’ but urge them to bring along every good man and woraau they can find. Ask the railroads and boards of trade to send them literatue. AU you need to do is to give the names of people you think would make good southern citizens, and the railroads will send them just the kind of invitation and literature needed to bring them “ backhome.” The western railroads know it takes people to buile up a country, but let us compel them to look else where to .get them. The south has gone out of the emigration business. Let. us keep our own and get back our own, W. D. Roberts, Johnson City, Tenn., March 1,1911. Somebody Lied. Union county has been humiliat ed, slondered and “ lie billed.” They have been telling around and about that Union is one of these bloomin’ pauper counties that gets more from the State-in the way of school money and pensions than she pays taxes into the State treas ury. They have been telling that this is a pauper county to the extent of about $2,900, but it is not so, not a word of it, for when that yarn about Union being a pauper county was “ norated around” they did not take into consideration what the bank and corporation tax which is paid from this county amounts to. Union is not a pauper county and in the language of the man from Vance township, Mr. W. H. Phifer tells about, we do not want to be “burlesqued” any long er about it. Yes, sir, we pay all into the State treasury we get out of it, and what’s more the little old measley pauper counties get two dollars and ninety-five cents of Union county’s good money, for we pay in just that sum over and above what comes back to us from the State money box,—Monroe Enquirer. A Praisewordiy Act. At Middlesboro, E y., a few days ago, Mr. J. H. Bartlett, a philan thropic citizen, gave every child in the public schools—1,425 in num ber, black and white— a small de posit in the postal savings bank recently established at Middles boro. In other words, Mr. Bartlett started a small account in the name of each child and its up to the children to keep it up. Some of them will and some of them won’t-, but even if a few are thus started in the way of saving and thrift they will have good cause to remember Mr. Bartlett in aftea years. In any event Mr. Bartlett's act is paaiseworthy.—Statesville Land mark. Aiiison Prefered Death. J. B. Allison, white, who was electrocuted in Eaieigh Friday fcr the murder of Floyd McGhee in Asheville last year, gave out the following statement the day before his death: “I desire to thank the officers and guards of the prison for the great kindness shown me while uu Ier their care, especially Mr. E . B. Ewing, who has been as kind as one could be His position is cell- block steward. Warden T, P. Sale has been all I could ask, having treated me well. I surely appreci ate all kindness shown me while here. I fail to find woads to ex press my appreciation. I can truly say that the kind treatment I have received has done much toward oiteniug my hard and rebellious heart. “I would not have been alive at this time if it han not been for the visits of Christian men to my cell, who induced me to pray. The W ordofGod was placed in my hands, which I have made my daily companion, and now I can truly say I am not afraid to die, and know boyond a doubt that God has forgiven all my many sins. I donotdreaddeathat all. If I could only warn the peoplr of their sins. Sin has brought me to where lam , and caused me to have to die. I want to thank any editor who may kindly print this my last mes sage, and urge all who read it to beware of all forms of sin and pre- paae to meet their God. Those whom I so hated as my enemies, I have been praying for day and night.

Time robs us of many things, but wounds onr vanity first by introduc ing wrinkles and the doub’e chin. Men who owe all they have and all they are to an industrious, eco- nomioal wife, too often leave her out when they boast of their suc cess, as most successful men are prone to do. Woman may possibly not know enough to vote, though we don’t admit it; but she certainly • knows enough not to sell that vote to the first briber who may happen alpng. Notinfrequently the exalted lodge member, the whack of whose gravel brings all the members upstanding, takes off his shoes outside the door when he goes home, lest he waken his.wife.—From March Fariii Jour nal. Hoke County. Fayetteville Index. Hoke county is a reality, or at least it will be such on and after April I; 1911. The will establssh- ing the new county designates April I, as the date for the formal establishment of Hoke county. Raeford, the prime and foremost factor in the movement for the new county, will be the county seat. The new county is made of Que- whiffie and Little River townships and a porsion of Seventy-first town ship, in Cumberland c-ouuty. and Blue Spring and portions of Lum ber Bridge and Red Springs town ships, in Roberson county. Old Roberson can no longer claim to be the laagest county in the State. Under the provisions of the bill Governor Eitchin has before him the task of appintiug all the officers of the new county, to serve Tintil a set of officers can be elected. The new county is named in hon or of Gen. R. F. Hoke.—Ex. A Tragedy at Goldsboro. At Goldsboro Thursday Roseoe Rivenbark a young man of the town shot and killed Camille P rn il, a woman of the underwood. The Pruitt woman was preparing to go to Raleigh when Rivenbark, who it seems was insanely enamored of her, entered her home and asked where she was going. She answer ed that she was going out of town for a few days. Then in the pres ence of five other petsons who were in the room, Rivenbark pulled a pistol irim bis pocket and shot tho woman five times, killing her in stantly. He then helped to lay her body on the bed and his only ox- jiiauatipn of the crime is that he couldn’t bear to be separated from her. Rivenbark made no attempt to escape. He now professes to be lieve that he is going to die in a few days, says his trouble is due to cigarettes and makes other re marks calculated to help an insan ity plea. Rivenbark is said to be from a prominent family, has borne a good reputation and-has never been in trouble before. The West is Fighting “Back Home” Movement. Seattle, Wash , Feb.

TERMS OF SUBSCRIPTION: One Year, in Advance.........................SOc Sis Months, in Advance.......................25c WEDNESDAY MARCH 15. 1911 Congress Ims adjourned and an extra session called to meet on April 4th. The country is approaching dangerous ground. Strange that the Mocksville Chamber of Commerce doesn't wire to Washington and try to have Supervisor Durand locate our city and give us the population there of. We are of the opinion that our city has been lost in the shuffle. A morning train to Charlotte, an event ing train to Winston, a street car line from Salisbury to Yadkinville via Mocks- vil'e, a million dollar cotton mill for our town, and $300,000 worth of good roads bouds is what Davie county wants. AU good investments. Will some of the good brethern be so kind as to send Os copies of the anti-trust laws with teeth, that were passed by the recent North Carolina legislature. We wish to have them framed, and copies sent to the News and Observer and His ExeeUency1 Governor Kitchin. It seems that the professor who cen sured the Yadkin Ripple, The Elkin Times and The Davie Record for inaccuracies in writing is getting his toes stepped on in a thoroughly effective manner. Wc pub lished the other day the compliment that the Ripple paid to this gentleman, and now this week the Record comes back at him. The Record says that the gentle man in question is too close-fisted to sub scribe for the paper, and hints that he sneaks around and borrows his neighbor's paper in order to act as high critic. There seems to be some ancient grudge rankling in the professor’s bosom, for The Record says: "Once we tried to enlighten his clouded brain, but he preferred darkness rather than light.”—Winston Journal.

When there is a death in the county, the Journal is glad to record as a nev s matter the facts about the life and death of the individual. That is a paper's bus iness and is a part of the news that peo ple take the paper to get But after that is done, it is not a matter of news to re cord long obituary notices going again over facts already printed, or to publish resolutions of respect and cards of thanks. Therefore these are charged for at the re gular rate of one cent a word. When our friends send them in we expect them to count the words and send along the cash. "Resolutions” and “cards of thanks” don’t really do anybody any good at all Mon roe Journal. The Journal hits the nail on the head. The Record has made it a rule to charge ten cents per line for all “resolutions of respect,” “cards of thanks,” etc,, which is just twice the amount we charge for all our advertisements. We didn’t adopt this plan as a "get-rich-scheme,” but to keep such articles out of our paper, and we have succeeded beyond our expectations. When space is charged for at a high rate one’s imagination doesn’t expand in such long winded articles, which cannot help the dead, and doesn’t interest the living, save a few close relatives who probably do not take the paper mother dirl, vote the Republican ticket and keep the American To bacco Company from making a warehouse out of the eapitol at Raleigh.

Cliariotte Chronicle. W hat is the present status o( prohibition, the country over? The facts have been brought out by the Philadelphia Press, through an in quiry by one of its readers. The Press has summarized the results of recent elections, and this sum mary produced iu The Bicemoml Times Dispatch. mstkis interesting reading. It will be noted ^that while prohibitiou has made some gains, these gains have been bfl'sei by losses. The summary shows that Florida defeated cunsiitntioual pro hibition by about 4,000 votes. Hillsboro county, including Tampa voted for a dry State by a large mejority. Missouri rejected con stitutional prohibition by about 15 000 more tl an half of this being the vote iu St. Louis. Oklahoma re fused to accept local option and high license as a substitute for State wide prohibition by 30,000 majori ty. Oregon tnrued down constitu tional prohibition by about 15,000. This was due to the powerful anti prohibition influence ot the State press, led by the Portland Oregon ian. Utah, by the defeat of lriend- Iy candidates, indefinitely post poned consideration of State-wide prohibitiou. Kansas, re-elected Governor Stubbs by a. Ii r/ely re duced vote, due to the opposition of the “ wet” wing of the people. TenneBBee smashed the violent anti prohibit'onist. Patterson Demo cratic machine, electing a Governor p’.eJged to enforce the present State prohibition law Arizona rejected State wide prohibition. Cahforuia was affected only by half of the re maining precincts of Los Angeles, which voted no license. Delaware changed only in rurnal Kew Ciistle County, which decided to remain wet. Idaho defeated Governor Brady, by a majority of 1,000. He bad declared for State-wide prohi- tion. Except iu one county the li cense truijoiity was everywhere in creased. In IUinois the “ Uuited Societies” claimed the election of 93 per cent of their endorsed can didates. The attitude of the new Legislature toward county proliibi tion is yet uncertain. Indiaua re pealed the county option law. Iowa elected the Cummins Kepablican faction, insuring the perpetuation of defeated Dohlmun, and county option is certain. New Mexico de feated prohibitiou in its constituti onal convention. North Dakota re-elected for the third time, John Burke, who stands for State wide prohibition law. Ohio looks with disfavor on a county op.ion law. In Pennslyvania the Anti-Saloon League failed to get a county option law. Bhode Islaud voted four more cities wet, leaving onty seven cities dry. Iu South Carolina, Greenville and Greenville county rejected a re instatement of the dispensary. There are four license counties in that State out oi forty two. South Dakota turned down the' county option law. In ' Washington two cities and some smaller towns vot ed no license, but there is no hope of prohibition legislation by the General Assembly. Wisconsin has a poor outlook for county option. By a majority of fourteen in the Alabama House of Representatives a local option bill was adopted last week to take the place of the State wide prohibition !aw now on the statue books.

WEDNESDAY. MARCH 22, 1911 NUMBER 37 FourEssentiak to Southern Agri cultural Prosperity. If the farmers of the South pm (Ineed all the mules, corn, hogs and hay that are used in the South what would be the effect on our agriculture1! It would simply mean a revolution. There are few coun ties in the whole South that have . a railroad station or a steam-boat IandiDg that do not buy large quan tities ot two or more of these staple products. There is no way of es timating accurately the money spent each year for these farm pro ducts. but it is simply enormous. AU this would be retained in tho South to circulate and increase all lines of business; but this is only one of the many benefits which would accrue. Not until we breed our own mules can we hope to have enough of them to do our farm work well and economically. There are no greater weaknesses in our pres ent system of doing farm work than those resulting from a lack of mule power —the -use of small, ineffective implements and of man labor which should have its place taken by ma chines and mules. As long as corn and hay are pur chased to feed live stock, we can never hope to keep that necessary to build up onr worn lands .and consume the forage which must be grown when a proper crop rotation is adopted. Hogs offer one opportunity for getting into r '"; stock husbandry at a small cc/« of breeding stock and there is abundant proof that they can be produced on cheap Southern grown feeds at a large prolit over present prices. Here, indeed, is a “ Money crop” equal to Eing Cotton if cultivated with the same interest and moderate in telligence. Mauy of the suggestions offered for the betterment of Southern ag riculture are rejected by Southern farmers, as impracticable under existing conditions. This is gene rally not true the impractibility of their adoption resting entirely in the disinclination of our farmers; but who will dare state that every individual farmer in the South can not raise Lis hay, eorn and hogs, and a little more for the town peo ple of his section, if he really wants to. Moreover, the farmers of the South, aB a whole, can raise all the mules used by the South, just as soon as they want, or try, to do so. Mr. Lem Banks of Memphis, Tenn., who is largely interested in . Southern agriculture and a close student and observer of conditions, insists that if the South will simply grow these farm products, mules, corn, hogs and hay, in sufficient quantities to supply the south, all things else needed to - regenerate our agriculture will come naturally and easily. Who can deny the trutn of this statement or offer any sensible reason why we should not produce these farm crops in quan tities to meet all our ueedsf—Pro gressive Farmer. Knew Who to Pardon. Sometimes we think there is too much pardoning done anyway. But after all, it is a hard proposition, aqd it is very often a difficult task to determine just what should be done. We are reminded, right here of a conversation Wiich once took place between Bob Taylor of Tenn essee and the late Sam Jones. The la.tter was raking Taylor over the coals about pardoning so many psople, to which the governor re plied: “ Well, Mr- Joties. had it not been for the pardoning grace of a just Uod1 you would have been in a mighty warm country long a go.” But-Mr. Jones, with his ready wit, very 'successfully defended himself by answering that, “ the difference is, Mr. Taylor, God Al mighty knows who to pardon and you doi.’t.” —Ex. Toe the mark;.but when you are chopping wood, also mark the toe. AntiTrust Bill Passed, But The Teeth Are Extracted. Raleigh March 7.—The house sub stitute for the Turlington House anti trust bill as it came from the Senate committee on judiciary, and passed the Senate today was concurred in by the House, and is now ratified in materially different form from the Turlington bill as it passed the House. So much so that Mr. Turlington says he could scarcely recognize it in that its teeth are, he claims, completely extracted. He was in the chair in the House when the bill came up for concurrence in the Senate substitute. Ross of Harnett commented that the bill seemed to be all that could" be gotton from the Senate and he mov ed concurrence. Ross of Cumberland asked him if there were any semb lance of teeth or even gums in the revised bill. Thereplycameendorsed by Turlington in the Speaker’s chair that there might be some part of the gums left but that they were bleed ing terribly. As passed, the bill has the features eliminated that required officers ,of corporations to take oath that their corporations are not violating the State anti-trust law; the feature pro hibited use of coupons, prizes and such in aiding sale of merchandise; the feature that would enable solici tors or Attorney General to require books, and papers for examination without order of court; the require ment to be for a judge to make such order and for examination to be made in the presence of the judge; it cuts out that feature that would award triple damages against trusts in civil cases, and reduces the fund that the Governor is to have at his command for working up the case for the pro secution in impending cases from $10,000 to $5,000. It was after a two hours debate this afternoon that the Senate adopt ed the judiciary committee substitute for the Turlington House anti-trust bill by a vote of 22 to 20. Advocates of the substitute, notably Senators Bassett, Hartsell and Graham, con tended especially that a corporation desiring to do business in this State should not be required to make oath that it will not violate the law, this being the principal charge discussed. Theyargued that corporations should be treated with the same f airness ac- cordod to individuals. Senator Hob- good led the fight for. the Turling ton bill, and others who spoke for it were Senators Green. Holdon, Rascdfe Long, and Baggett. The substitute then passed second and third read ings by unanimous vote, -and was sent to the House where there was concurrence, and an order for en rolment. Of all the cranks, the crankiest is the chronic pessimist. He is al ways whining like a half-starved dog with a tin can tied to its tail. When the sky is beautifully clear, he is positively certain that every thing will dry up and there will be a scarcity. When the gentle rain begins to fall, he laments and is afraid the crops will be spoiled. H eis always expecting some great calamity, misfortune of some kind, or beiug laid up with rheumatism. No matter how rosy the apples look or how juicy the pear, he is afraid that they are wormy at the core and can’t be kept until ChristmaB. The country is going to the bow wows and everybody is a dirty and dishonest raBcal. His own peace ful and progressive town is all right but he is convinced that it never will improve so very much. The high church spire is a notable land mark, but it might fall down some day and do great damage. He him self enjoys excellent health at pres ent, but he is sure that he won’t live long->and he shouldn’t. The world would be mnch happier with out such cranky pessimists.—Es. When it Rained in Texas. First West Texan: “ Have you heard the good news!” Second West ,Texao: “No; what is it?” First West Texani- “ The big rail road bridge is waBhed out, the ferry boat has beeu drowned and the foot log ‘busted’ by flood waters; the bottoms>are overflowed, cattle are standing with their noses only half an inch abovie water, and all the streams are still rising.” Second West Texan; ‘-Glorious! It is God’s country agaid.” - Wife Beating. One oi the most brutal and un- gratful crime of which we can think is wife-beating. The only suitable punishment for such an act is a like adminstration of the lash. In some states this dispensation of justice is handed out. A dispatch from Baltimore, under the date of March 1st, says: “The spectacle was wit nessed in the criminal court here today of a white man, who had bru tally beaten his wife, pleading for mercy with tears streaming down his face when he heard the sentence of five lashes at the whipping-post and imprisonment in jail. But there was no mercy because the testimony Bhowed that Frank McCauley struck his wife seven or eight times chok ed her and then ,took from her more than $20. Itw asthesecond sen tence of a wife-beater to the post by Judge Duffy within a month.” That man got his just deserts and we believe that the whipping post ought to be put iuto use every time a wife-beater is fonnd guilty of such treatment of the one whom he has promised to love and care for in sickness and in health. Of course the wife may sometimes be to blame but if matters cannot be otherwise settled, our advice to such an un fortunate man would be to dissolve copartnership and pitch his tent elsewhere rather than live with a woman of that type.—Ex. A Million Dollar Business. We are tempted to speak a word to our merchants. We do it only with the best intentions. We are thankful that you have placed your “ad” in our columns. Our maoy wideawake readers will see it and they will read it. If the merchants wish to keep trade at home, they must of course let the public know what goods and what inducements they offer. The great merchants of our larger cities are constantly advertising at an enormous expense but it pays them; and it was by shrewd advertising that they be came so successful. They cannot afford to stop, or else they would. Our merchants can’t afford to stop advertising in their local paper. Advertising pays, even if you have no competition.—Ex. Some men are born good, bat more are made good by their wives. An Old Story. I have heard of poor and sad con gregations but the saddest preacher I ever knew went from Posey Coun ty, Indiana, to Pike county, Mis souri (where John Hay discovered Little Breeches and Jim Bludsoe.) He was starving to death on dona tions of catfish, ’possum, and a hundred dollar salary. Finally he made up his mind to go away. With wet eyes, he stood up in the prayer meeting to bid good-bye to his weeping congregation. “Brothers and sisters,” he said, wiping his eyes on his red bandan na handkerchief, “ I’ve called you together tonight to-say farewell. The Lord has called me to another place. I don’t think the Lord loves this people much; for none of you seem to die. He doesn’t seem to want you. And you don’t seem to love each other; for T’ve never married any of you. And I don’t think you love me; for you don’t pay me my salary—and yonr'do nations are mouldy fruits and wor my apples. ‘By their fruits ye shall know them.’ “ And now, brothers and sisters, I am going to a better place. I’ve been appointed chaplain to the penitentiary at Joliet. ‘Where I go ye cannot come, but I go to pre pare a place for you.”—From the book “ Heart Throbs,” in National Magazine for March. John W. Sickelsmith, Greensboro, Pa., hasthiee children, and like most children they frequently take cold. “We have tried several kinds of cough medicine," he says, “but have never found any yet that did them as much good as Chamberlain’s Cough Reraedy."

One of the very best rolls for breakfast is a prompt roll out of bed. W hateverm aybethe straits of the hog he always has a spare rib or two. The hum of industry bears no re lation whatever to the ho-hum of the lazy man. When the pay is $9 a week it is a job; when the compensation is 125, it is a position. Science has decided that a kiss is infectious osculation, but plain people are satisfied with the good old name. Far more than in the smile that won’t come off, is the average wo man interested in the hair that wont come off. We are disposed to say nnkiod things about the mule, but the fact remains that there are many men who are worse kickers. Little Johnny Jones lound a switch and took it to his teacher, but it happened to be one that she dropped in taking off her peach- basket hat.—From February Farm Journal. Letter to Southern People. The people of California, at the suggestion of one of the Western railroads, have begun the sending of fo.ur million invitations to per sons east of the Mississippi river to go as settlers to California. All the Western railroads are nrging. the people of the Westt to do like wise for their different states. A large part if not a majority of those invitations will come to the South and we have not any people to spare In fact our greatest, need is for MORE PEOPLE. Why then shall we not undertake to gather the names of and invite back to the South, ‘back home’ our own people? Millions of them are in the West and Northwest. Is not the South good^enough tor them?' Have we not sufficient confidence in its op portunities to invite, nay to urge Southern people to come “ back home'’ and share them? Finally, is not the “Back Home” movement a real, tangible work for us as IN DIVIDUALS something definite for us to DO? Tell every one you know to write to every. one he knows in the West or elsewhere to come ‘back home’ and bring others. Call on the railroads to send them literatnre of reasons and facts as to WHY our people should come “back home.” Let us show the Western railroads that we can send FIVE invitations to their one. Let us show that the Sonth can offer, and “ make good” on, as many op portunities as the West indeed bet ter ones. Let us “ COME ALIVE!” W , D. ROBERTS. Johnson City, Tenn., March. 9, 1911. WHEN THE DEVIL RULES. In this world of frills and fashions, Where the churches are so fine, And the trade-mark of religion Is the classic dollar sign, There's a rule that never faileth, And you’ll always find it true— When the Dollar rules the pulpit, Then the Devil rules the pew. There may be a heap of singing, And an awful sight of prayer. And the sermon may be answered With an “Amen!” here and there; But as shure as Joe’s a Dutchman, Or old Shylock was a Jew, When the Dollar rules the pulpit. Then the Devil rules the pew. When the money gets to talking. And the Master's voice is still, And the preacher swaps a sermon For. a twenty dollar bill. That’s the time old Mister Satan Gets the churches in a stew— When the Dollar rules the pulpit And the Devil rules the pew. When religion goes a-begging. And the Bible is forgot. And the preacher preaches nothing Only scientific rot, Then the faithful old believers, They are getting mighty few— -When the Dollar rules the pulpit And the Devil rules the pew. —Swiped from a Swiper Miss Holman in Statesville.

A few days before the adjouru ment of the Legislature the Char lotte Chronicle remarked: It was the American Tobacco trust that saved, not only the credit of the State, but an extra session ot the Legislature. Yet the present Legislature is going to adjourn without having voted a resolution of thanks to the trust. A formal resolution of thanks was not passed, but the trust was amply iepaid by the failure to pass an anti-trust law that will reach that monoply. In fact the tobacco trust has such a hold on the State that the failure toenactan effective anti-trust measure all these years' is due to its influence; and if the trust did the State a favor by in - vesting in North Carolina bonds, it was then under obligations to the State, and the continued favor re ally establishes a new obligation.— StateBville Landmark. * ♦FOR THE BEST VALUES IN S 2 Men’s and Boy’s Ciothing and Furnishings J VISIT Mock-Bagby-Stockton Cov J uSame Price to All.” . 418JTrade Street Y ^ WINSTON-SALEM, N.

MARCH 29. 1911 f .\I i NUMBER 38 A Southern Farmer in the West. Johnson.City, TenD.,-March. 13. —The following letter was given ont for publication at the offices of the Carolina, Olinchfield Sc Dhio railway. ‘!As we promised several parties to ‘write up' this country/will pro ceed to makegood and do not think there is a better way to do this than a comparison with the South in some respectsrat least. ‘•To b6gin, if yon converse with a farmer in the. South he will some times tell yon thai it is not a farm ing country, andthat is just, the opinion one will have of this coun try on arriving here to see thous ands of acres of land as bare as a sand bank or covered. with sage brush and dwarf cedars. - Scarcely a’sprig of grass.or solitary tree to greet you in what, is termed the farming diBtricts. No grass no cool ing springs from which to queneh your thirst, no timber convenient from which to bnild a shelter from the broiling sun or protect irom the night’s cold. Some fence post may be cut from the scrubby cedars on the dry side hill land and' by the way land is not level as might be Bnpposed but is rolling or . broken by gnlches, draws, etc., and is sur rounded by high mountains. There is not precipitation eneugh to even gem inate grain much less bring it to perfection. “ There are some Btreams of water at various distances which are sup* ported by the, melting of snow in the mountains and on these must the ranchers depend for moisture to germinate and mature his . crop* Such are the conditions to .be over come in what real estate men call the gems of the - west. B u t. little assistance can tie expected from na ture, A farm must be ‘made’, so a man or community of men: must go to some vantage point on a usu ally distant stream, sometimes 40 miles and with plow, pick and sho vel bnild a ditchover soil, rock, ravines and -obout everything in the catalogue of topography to : get a stream of water oh his land for domestic use and irrigation.^ This water absorbs alkali from the ’ soil and all filth it comes in contact with and is nnfifc for drinking pur poses. though .mostly used. " This ditch must be: frequently” cleaned ,kept in order and is a : source of constant expense to Bay nothing of having.those above you- appro- . priate the water-while you are act ing the part pf a ‘bed bng’, besides right of way and, other troubles constantly annoying. -The- "water delivered at your farm, only one phase of the problem is mastered the soil being of a hard nature re quires the energy of three to five horses and strong;' heavy' imple ments to put-in % tenable condition and must then be.furrowedvout for irrigation altereachcnltivation and alfalfa sod must also be kept fur rowed out, as nothing grows with out you bring the water to it. “ The heavy cropping and- flow ing of water through the soil-: soon exhausts it and after two or three crops it must be seeded to alfalfa to restore its fertility. Of course the alfalfa is a valuable hay crop, also but one cannot eat it, so it is unprofitable unless it can be ex changed for other commodities and so much is grown the supply is get ting in excess o f th e demand, so this makes some other money crop a necessity, therefore the western farmer has his problems and as tough as any where. “ The ranchei;,get8 IargqglCrops and Snre whej hehas enougjj water but .remember -his expenses are heavy and sure also, and tie -must pack his products,, a thing an east ern tarmer disdains to do- Hb has algo to pay high freight charges on what he purchases and ship; Icbb freight charges to meetcompetftion. • ‘Now. I have explained the;side of? the queatiou not usually.^ given tofcthe public but with varping con ditions applicable generally. It takes brains as well as soil to grow a crop here and if the capital ac cumulated in the South and spend in working the west for a fortune had been judiciously invested in developing the resources of the South we might have made the west sit up and take notice. The money and effort spent here to make a home will also bring things to pass in the South. M. P. SNUFFER. Refused to Kiss and Was Beaten. Mt. Airy News. Kissing a man is not an unheard- of occurrence in this land, but be cause a certain person in this com munity declined to kiss one of the male sex one day this week a fight and lawsuit is the result. Wed nesday a fine-looking Scotchman, right fresh from the hills of old Scotland, walked into the office of Esq. T. B. McCargo, and wanted the protection of his rights through the laws of the land. His eye was black and he showed very clearly that he had been in trouble. He wanted a paper for a man with whom he had been associating and who had beaten him. Mr. McCargo wanted to know something of the trouble before he issued the paper and asked the cause of the difficulty In the strong Scotch brogue the man told the story, ‘*Ah.” said he “ he had been boozing for a week and wanted me to kiss him. Me kiss no man, sir. Me might kiss me mother, but me kiss no man, and becanse me refuse to kiss him he beat me.” Smart Man. Charlotte Observer. An escape from a penintentary, planned and executed for especial purpose of gaining greater leisure and opportunity to secure signa tures to a petition for gubernatorial pardon presents rather unusual features, to say the least. A South Carolina convict, however surren - dered to the authorites the other day who had done just this thing. Sentenced ten years ago, he had been a model prisoner and had been a trusty for years. Several months ago a movement was set on foot in his home neighborhood—in W ill iamsburg county, quite a step from Columbia—to secure a pardon for him. The matter lacked somebody to take hold and push it and the convict logically concluded that he himself was admirably fitted to supply.this lack. Taking advan tage, of the confidence felt by the penitentiary authorities due to his clean record while a prisoner, he simply walked back to Williams burg county and attended to the petition matter. Thatdonehe re turned' to Columbia, repaired to the.Governor’s office, filed notice of his petition and contentedly re sumed his place in the penitentary Details are lacking as to the crime which incurred the life sentence. A Senable Truth. When it comes to doing things in dividuality counts for its full value and should not be discounted. Ener getic effort on the part of individuals will win when directed by intelligence where failure would be the inevitable result if indifferent, stubidand clum sy effort characterizes the work of the individual. Under almost any kind of adverse conditions a few men will succeed while some men will fail under the most favorable eviron- ments, But there is no denying the fact that the American farmers are confronted with a condition that af fects them as a whole—with* an era of systematic pillage by predatory combines that affects every farmer in this country whether he is a small farmer or a large farmer. Regard less of his financial standing he is forced to buy in an organized mark et, and here is where individualism can not compete with organization, and here is where the work of the Farmers’ Union comes in.—Carolina Union Farmer. ..

He knocks on the church because there happens to be people almost as worthless as he is in it, and he knocks on the saloonkeeper becanse perhaps, he can’t get booze on cre dit. He knocks on the school when in some instances he has no children to send. He knocks on the post master because he fails to get a let ter or paper just when he imagines he ought to. He knocks on one neighbor because he is successful, and on another because he is un fortunate. He knocks on his town constantly and keeps a chunk of discouragement handy to throw at every public enterprise that comes along. He. contributes nothing to the publio welfare, yet is everlast- ingly nursing a sore spot against the‘world, because he feels he has not -been treated properly. He knocks onjhis local paper, because it isn?t as big as the Chicago Tri bune, bat roarsiohg and loud when be is asked to pay up hiB subscrip tion. ~ Knocking is like smallpox; it’s contagious. Most any man is likely to -be guilty of the offense occasionally, but he ought to go out and kick himself every time he errs in this way. Don’t heed the knocker; turn a deaf ear. to his tale of woe, lest you be repeating it. Knocking is an expensive past time. It has destroyed friendship, broken up homes', changed the course of railways, blocked impor tant legialati on, depopulated cities and played ‘Old -Nick’ ever since the devil broke into the Garden of Eden aud knocked the apple off the tree, ‘whose mortal taste brought death to the world and all our woe.’ It you have the knocking habit now is a good time to take it out and bury it so deep that that forty tons of dynamite couldn’t blow it out of its resting p>lace. But if you must knock,: turnyour hammer on the tariff bill, Cannon, Boosevelt, Doc tor Cook, or - some other person, place or thing that is not likely to be: affected by your thumps. Give your neighbor the glad hand and your town the glad word. The on ly way to make the world better is to get better yourself. The only way to make your town livelier is to step lively yourself. Get busy and you will forget the faults of others. The world is a pretty good place for those who make it so. Therefore, don’t knock, unless it is to knock the ‘stuffin’’ out of some chronic knocker.’’-Texline Herald. NotFor Sale. I’d like almighty well to; have more money than my. purse con tains; I do my very best to save, but still they get my hard won gains; I walk to save a knickel when the winds of winter fiercely blow; I wear the hat and coat and vest that first I wore two years ago I long for money: it is hard ior me to keep my bark afloat, but no man has sufficient cash to buy my vote. I long to make my children glad, to give them much they are denied If I had money all the things they want should qnickly be supplied; It saddens me to hear them ask for what I can’t) afford to buy; they cannot understand and come to in nocently ask me why; Iseethe pat ches they mast wear and feel a lump come in my throat; but uot a : man is rich enough to buy my vote. The little home on which I’ve paid in stallments for a dozen years ! may never be my own; my breabt is often iilled with doubts and fears; I do not know how T shall raise the in terest when it is due, there ;is a doctors bill to pay; the dollars I have saved are few; my BhoesI are run down at the heels, I wear a threadbare overcoat, but no !man has sufficient cash to buy my vote. —Chicago Becord-Herald. A Litde Politics. This is the third or fourth time in succession that a Democratic Legislature has absolutely refused to pass an anti-trust law with teeth bnt the next Democratic convention will go right ahead and put that same old rotton anti-trust plank back in their platform just like they think the people haven’t : got any sense. The American people have lieen eiyoying a great area of prosperity for several years, under Republi can rule, and right at the time wlien their prosperity was at high tide, they became dissatisfied and voted for a change, and they needn’t be surprised when they get it. It seems that prohibition is not doing much for the Judges Mayors and the Justices of the Peace, inas much as some fellow has introduced a bill prohibiting the above named officials'from trying cases while drunk, but the bill didn’t pass and Josephus is mad about it.

The telephone girl sits in her chair and listens to voices from everywhere she hears all the news, she knows who is happy and who has the blues. Sheknows all our sorrows, she knows all joys, knows all our troubles she knows of our strife, she knows every man who is cross to his wife. She knows every time when you are with “the boys,” she hears the excuse each fellow employs; She knows every woman who has a dark “past.” She knows every man who is in clined to be “fast” in fact there’s a secret beneath each saucy curl of that quite demurred looking tele phone girl. Ifthe telephonegirltold all that she knows, it would turn half our friends into bitterest foes, she could sow a small wind that would sOon be a stale; and engulf us in trouble and land us in jail. She could let go a story which gain ing in force, would cause some of yonr wives to sue for a divorce, she could get all our churches mixed up in a fight, and turn all our days into sorrowing night, in fact she could keep the whole town in a stew if she’d tell only a tenth part of the things she knew.

Who says the colored brother lacks enterprise, ingenuity or tal ent? George Jones, of Berkely, Va., has a trained dog. He taught the dog to steal chickens scientifically,' seizing a fowl by the throat so it could not cackle and conveying to his master hiding near by. By this process a roost would be deprived in a night without a sound of in vasion and without peril to Jones’ skin. No doubt after each theft the dog would wag his tail and congratulate himself as an honest, faithful and useful animal—as he was according to his lights. By a stretch of the law George was con victed and sentenced to the rock pile, along with his dog, and the dog actually stole chickens and carried them to th e. convict camp to his master. ; This is the most ingenious foiwl- seturing plan yet discoverad. Ij; better even than the invention the soldiers in the war, consisting of a buggy whip and at the snjali end of it a weighted cord wbichiby a deft movement could he wrapped about the neck of a sleeping chick en at almost any height or distance and the victim yanked off the perch and drawn to hand without a - pre test or struggle. ’ FOR THE BEST VALUES IN % Men’s and Boy’s Clothing and Furnishings Jj VISIT I Mock-Bagby-StocktonCo., J “Same Price to AU.” 418aTrade Street J j WINSTON-SALEM, N.

If yo I have a good home be contented to remain under the parental roof helping your mother and cheering your fatherand brothers until some nice young man capa ble of providing a home asks you to com plete his happiness, and don’t be in too a great a hurry to assume that responsibili ty; wait till the right man offers himself and be sure also that vou know your own mind and heart. The alarming increases of divorces is largely due to hasty and . i'!considered marriages. “Marry In haste and repent at your leisure” is a proverb which you should haveconstantly in mind, Don’t be dazzled by the glamour of city life; it is a hollow mockery at best and is totally different from what it looks to be ’ 11 the outsider; it is misery and privation ■ except to the wealthy and is fraught with degradation and loss of self respect to the poor. The large city is no place for the country girl to go for employment with the idea of bettering her condition, for is. notorious that the wages paid women in the stores and other business establish ments do not enable them to live comfor tably, decently or respectfully while every king ofcfv^et is spread to entrap the young ^girl. Any vhork that a girl can do and ' live at home'is all right, but don’t leave home for work if you can possibly avoid it. Less than two families in every hundred in New York City own the roof that shel ters them, and thousands upon thousands there and in other large cities are com pe’led tq live under conditions and amid surroundings which a respectable farmer - would not impose on his hogs out of con sideration for their health. Thecondition of the poor and even that of of people of moderate means in the great cities is dis tressing and getting worse, while that of the farmers is continually improving. The over-crowding of the cities and the rapid extinction of home life therein, with the higher cost of living, constitute of the most serious problems which confront the nation at present.—Comfort. fortune of losing one of Iiis cows last week.

When she was my sweetheart I remarked to her once that I didn’t belong to any secret societies and bo was not liable to go away from home in the evening. I did not say it very loud and was not conscious that she paid any particular attention to my statement, but when I went home about daylight after joining the Knights I found that it was one of the most distinct recollections in her mind. Now I am a Mason, an Elk, an Eagle, a Woodman, a High lander and many others. I have observed that all these fraternities are all built upon words, phrases a n d teachings which represent heart characterists. They teach the things which bind us together.

There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by con stitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucousliningof the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed you have a rumbling sound or im, perfect hearing, and when it is en tirely closed, Deafness is the result- and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine ca- Bes out of ten are caused by Catarrh which is-uothing but an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces.
