NORTH CAROLINA, WEDNESDAY, SEFiEMBER 6. 1911 NUMBER9 From Far Away China. Laichow fu, Shangtung Province, China, July 19, 1911—W hile on a visit to P ingtu, a walled city 30 m iles south of Laichowfu, I m ade som e notes which m ay be of interest to readers of The L andm ark. ' ’ O ut of the south of P ingtu about a half-m ile is a beautiful m onum ent built of w hite m arble brought from Loichowfu and erected by a wealthy m an a t Pingtu, who is still living. D uring the Boxer troubles this m an invited the people to leave their m oney w ith him for safe keeping. M uch money w as p u t in his charge and he required such large interest fo r keeping the m oney th a t he be­ cam e very rich. W h en h e had the m onum ent m ade to p u t it up in/ iis own honor it w as his purpose to place it on the principal street of the city b u t the people would not allow this because he charged so m uch of the people in their tim e of extrem ity. T h e re a re m a n y su c h “ bai fangs” (m onum ents) in th e city, b u t none so large and beautiful as this one. One of the m issionaries was telling m e of a custom of the people in tim es of drought. A fter repeated worship of th e idols, burning of incense, etc. and the placing of willow lim bs above th e doors of the houses. If the rain still fails to come it is decided th at th e spirit of some m an has a grudge against the people. To: ascertain whose spirit it is, groups of people carry torches to the hundreds of graves scattered over the fields' so .th at w hen a torch gets to th e rig h t grave it m ay divide intothree'parts. W hen the people have decided-’ on the grave the body is taken up and Jaeaten to pieces. The people then retu rn -to th eir villages, carrying small pieces of the body w ith~thsm - to each village. This procedure .is supposed to force the spirit to allow the rains to come. This custom is only one of the hundreds of eviden­ ces of .the g reat superstition and spiritual darkness of the people. Upon one of the m ountains near P ingtu can be seen a- large heathen tem ple surrounded by a beautiful grove. A t this tem ple during the Boxer troubles (in 1900) sixty m en w ere surrounded by soldiers and kill­ ed. A fterw ards when the people found th a t the m issionaries w ere seeking a suitable place fo r the boys school they offered the tem ple fo r th is purpose. A U people concerned in the tem ple w ere asked to sign an agreem ent to let the tem ple go and all signed except two men." I t was feared howeverT 1J* ^jnight cause_trauoie, so the school w as Ic- : oated in the city of P ingtu. " Two churches of P ingtu have their congregations called together by th e ringing of tem ple bells. In one of th e villages there was only one tem ­ ple. I t was on the best site f o r a church. There w ere som e C hristians there who w anted a church, so an ^agreem ent w as m ade by .them 1, w ith th e rem aining heathen to the-effect th a t the Christians take’ the - tem ple and the heathen divide among: them - . selves th e- farm ing Iands connected w ith the tem ple. The heathen sold th e land and divided the m oney a- m ong them selves. The Christians tore down the tem ple and b u ilt. of th e brick and wood a-, church in which to w orship the tru e god. The old tem ple bell calls the people t o w orship.’ One of the tw o blind ' evangelists a t P ingtu has an interesting historjr. F o rtw e n ty years he sought peace from heathen priests, and: gods. ’ H e spent so m uch of his fath er’s- estate in this cause th a t his brothers, de­ m anded ai division of the preperty. Finally' a' Bible fell into his hands and in reading it he noticed in the Gospel of John w here G hrist says, “ Peace I give unto you.” T his w as what, he had been' looking for, so he craved someone to “ introduce him to the L ord,” as he said. H e cam e to the church a t P ingtu and heard the mis- : Siqnaryfexplain John 3:16;-A f te r the sfemCe he ran to the m issionary .and p if ^ is '& n s a ro u n d h im c ^ rig :.; “ I hs&e it! f have It!” HewSS la te rre - cejveffihtb the church ^ d sin d e theh - has done m uch good work. b u t m the m eantim e lost his sig h t." A fter Tliis baptism h ^w as tm t ;n charge of . country Christian ’school, b u t left th e sehoqfiaria waa fouiid in his own - village preaching C hrist to his peo \jSle. - A. num ber of his fam ily w ere .converted as a result of his preach­ ing, and now he is a regular evange­ list. W hen a m issionary, recently returned from furlough the old m an said: “ I have lost the sight o f. m y eyes b u t there is sunshine in my soul.” O neof the encouraging things connected w ith m ission w ork is the evidence of happiness brought into iives hitherto filled w ith - heathen darkness. M rs. J C. Owen was telling a few days ago of a m an whom she saw in one of the tem ples here last New year who had been in the tem ple 36 hours praying before the idols for restoration to health of his m other and father. In order to g et w hat he thought would be a hearing from the idols, the poor m an had gouged out both his eyes. H e was a pitiable sight. The devil is a hard task­ m aster. A Chinese widow who lives in the country near P ingtu had a law suit eight years ago, a t the tim e of her husband’s death, on account of her relatives trying to g et possession of the widow’s property. T hesuit was won by the wom an b u t a relative said th a t as soon as she buried her husband he w ould tear down the house. In order to preserve her hom e the widow has kept her dead husband in the house in his coffin for eight years, and when she was in Pingtu recently she stated th a t the body is sttillth e re in h e r hom e. This same woman recently gave a piece of land to m ission w ork and there is now a church and a boys’ school on the land. Conditions in th e fam ine region continue very bad. Follow ingisfrom a letter received from Miss O ttie T. Bostrick, of N orth Carolina, who is one of the missionaries in the Poehow fam ine field. '"ju This m orning as I stood a t our gate and w atched the passersby for a few m om ents, my attention was at­ tracted by a food-seller calling, “ Sw eet potato leaves for sale!” and I knew it was the dried leaves th at had been gathered from the vines of last autum n. It seem s to m e one would have to be very hungry to re­ lish 'such, yet it is being m uch used now, as is also the cake m ade from “ seasam e,” seed from which all the oil has been pressed. The cake is dried in the sun and is generally used to fertilize land, b u t is now the m ain food of m any. It is often eaten ju st as they buy it, w ith no fresh cooking o r evening sunning, which is the on­ ly booking it had to begin w ith, B ut the m ost aw ful food I have heard of these starving ones eating is the flesh of the fellow beings who had already perished from hunger and-were plac­ ed in their last resting place, the grave being robbed to appease the terrible gnaw ing of th a t wolf hun­ ger. “ D readful as it is here, 70 miles east it is worse. Trees have already been stripped of their bark to furnish food: for the hungry. I t is there th at one of the distributors of help saw the grave being robbed and the vic- tim being used for food. W e have had one of the hardest, coldest win­ ters known in these parts, and the cold w eather has held on late. Only one week ago we had sleet all day and quite a fall of snow a t night. Many of these poor,-hungry ones are so thinly clad th a t one could scarcely say they w ere properly clad for mild sum m er w eather. “ W ords cannot picture the suffer­ ing around us and th ere is no pro­ bability of its being exaggerated by anyone, fo r it m ust be w itnessed w ith the eye to know the horribleness of it, and to one who is in the m idst of it and m ust see so m uch, th e feel­ ing som etim es comes th a t' we m ust shut our eyes and stop our ears and run from the m idst of so m uch suf­ fering; b u t th a t is only fo r a little while, and we tu rn w ith longings to help these poor, starving ones, both for the present and fo r the future. “ The siege is yet a long one, for even if there is a good w heat crop, there are m any who will not be able to g et Over the days fo r m onths to come, and next w inter will find many w ith no clothing a t all, so w e beg your continued interest in this g reat need of over 2,000 OOO people.— GHAS.

T he S outhern farm ers have a rig h t to tak e -satisfaction in the w ork th ey are doing for th e prom ­ otion of the w elfare of th e people' through th e production of th e cot­ ton crop. .- If a" m an li ves solely lor him self, h e is satisfied to tak e his cotton to th e gin and follow it no farth er.

A fter ginning th e cotton pesses into th e bands of th e m anufactur­ ers and exporters. D uring th e year ust closed, Ju n e 3 0,1911, th e ex­ ports of th e cotton from th e U n it­ ed S tatet exceeded th a t of all other years in A m erican H istory. It am ounted to 685 m illions of dollars. It is about 30 per cent, of th e total exports of any .year p rio r to 1877 T he total value of th e crop of the year before—th a t is, for the year ending Ju n e 3 0 ,1 9 1 0 —is plac­ ed by th e C ensus B ureau a t 963 m illions of dollars. - O f th is total 143 m illions is credited to th e seed; th a t is/a b o u t one sixth of th e total value of th e Cotton crop lies in the cotton seed. I t is only recently— th a t is, since about 1880— th a t any g reat im por­ tance has been attach ed to th e cot­ ton seed.- P rio r to the introduction of oil m ills th e seed w as considered practically : w orthless except for p lanting. Sm all' q uantities were used as fertilizer,and as feed, b u t for th e m ost-part it w as w aste and allow ed to ro t w here it w ould do the least harm . In th e U n ited S tates few m ills had been b u ilt p rior to 1870, w hen there.w ere, b u t 26 in existence. By the census of 1910 th ere w ere 810 o f these m ills.’ T he to tal value of cotton seed products iu 1890 was less th an 20 m illions of dollars. T w enty years after— th a t is, in 1910 —it was 143 m illions of dollars. W hen th e cotton-seed is taken to the m ill of th e m anufacturer it is screened.' T he seed bolls, leaves, sticks and a ll. foreign substances are rem oved. T he seed as it- leaves the gin still retains som e of th e lint. Sea island cotton seed is al­ m ost free from lin t an d is not re ginned a t th e m ill before'the. oil is extracted. B u t in th e c ase4 of th e upland cotton considerable qu an tities ad ­ here to th e Beed an d th ey are re- ginned. T he q u an tity of lin t ob­ tained from th is reginning process 1909 w as 1 7 5 m illion pounds. T his lint was used for .upholstering p u r­ poses and iu - th e m anufacture of cotton batting, felts, cheap yarns, rope an d tw ine’. ;-. T he hulls are ionised w ith cotton seed m eal, though form erly they were used for fuel. - T he chief dem and for cotton seed cake and m eal Jb for -stock feeding purposes and as an ingredient in th e m anufacture of fertilizer. T he Census B ureau;reports th a t for both of these purposes th is product has been used so extensively as to ac­ quire a value alm ost equal to th a t of oil, : R ecent experim ents show th a t flour m ade from m eal can be used in the m anufacture of bread, cakes crackers and th e like. T he process of exacting oil from the seed is th e sam e as th a t used th irty years ago,-though the m a­ chinery is im proved. B y th e im ­ provem ent of th e m ethods and the m achinery new uses for cotton seed oil have been developed. I t is now largely used jfa.lacd com pounds or a su b stitu te for lard .. T h e oil has become one of th e . poorer, grades, an d th e settlings of cru d e oil are used in th e m anufacture of soaps, w hereas th e oil itself is used in com m ercial m anufacture for a vast num ber of purposes. T his m uch a t least science has done, T h at is, experience, guided by know ledge, has developed new m arkets— th a t is, new uses—for the cotton seed and its products and has added one-sixth to th e value of th e cotton crop. F ig u re th is in another w ay: A crop of 12 m illion bales is equiva­ lent, w ith th e added value- of th e seed, to 14 m illion in the old days. W h at th e S outh needs now to learn Iiow to increase the product p er acre. T hen it can reduce the acreage and devote a larger p a rt to grass and corn and other crops for the m aintenance of th e fam ily or for th e support of th e farm . A t present it takes from 2J to 3 acres to produce a bale of cotton. I f you can on your farm produce a bale of cotton on 2} acres, you a r e ' “ an average farm er.” D o not be content w ith being an average farm er. Increase your yield a t least h alf a bale an acre and your son w ill be expected to increase it a bale per acre.— H om e and F arm . Caucasian Hot Shot. kitchin' and Simmons seem to be hav­ ing things coming their way—though not the things they had hoped for. Aycock is in the Senatorial race, crime is on the increase and the mocking bird is looking for the tali timbers. Over in Greensboro they grant divorces while you wait. Five divorces were gran­ ted in Guilford court in one day this week. The Greensboro Record says this is a “rag time” age. Anditwillbeevenmore so if the Democrats elect the next Presi­ dent. The Democratic politicians are rejoicing because farm products have been reduced in price, but it will be noted that the farmers have not held any jubilee over the occasion. A writer to the News and Observer complains that the Democratic platform was not carried out. Certainly a just complaint, but since he has brought up the subject, when did the Democrats ever carry out their platform? The Senatorial candidates are very ac­ tive. Kitchen is trying to capture the Red Men, Simmons is trying to reorganize the Redshirts, Aycock is appealing to those who love watermelons and Judge Clark is going into the highways and hedges seeking those who might be lost.

A n interesting discussion took p'ace betw een a num ber of gentle’ m en the other day as to ju st how long a tv rtle will live after hia head has been chopped off. It w asdoubt- Iess inspired, by the C harlotte Ob­ server’s recent assertion on the question of killing cats. One of the gentlem en declared th a t he recently captured a tu rtle, killing it by chop­ ping off its head, and tdrew the head o u t in some grass. Tw om om - ings after his young son way play­ ing in th a t vicinity and seeing the tu rtle ’s head could not resist th e tem ptation to pick it up. T he result w as th a t his finger was clii^hed tightly by the aforesaid head, it required the combined e f fo r ts of two able-bodied m en to force it-open so th at the child’s finger could be re-, moved. This gentlem an’s answ er to the above question is th a t a tu rtle never dies as long as th ere is any tu rtle.—Gaston Progress. •SI'E'eBISDW H f ASJ!.

Editor Record:—Having noticed • from time to time the discussion reference to Gen. William R. Davie, thought I would submit a few remarks for consideration. The history of N. C. by John W. Moore1 says that Gen. .Davie ceased to be Gover­ nor to become one of three Commissioners to Fans to settle what was known as the vexed questions of the Berlin and- Milan decrees. Thesedecreeswere said to be the efforts of Napoleon Bonaparte to re­ taliate for British' blockade measures a- gainst France. This history further states Qiat Gen. Davie had been succeeded by Benjamin Williams as Governor, but for some reason the exact date of election and time of service are not given, and the fact that some authorities deny that he wa# ever Governor make it a matter of conjecture, and should be taken up by some good historian and settled for all time to come. Davie county, was named in hon­ or of Gen. Davie1 and if the revised re­ cords should finally prove that he was never Governor of N. C. we should still be proud of the name, because aside from this honor he has occupied a number. of honorable and distinguished positions, and been prominent in many matters .of vital importance touching the common-7 wealth. Among the important positions held by Gen. Davie may be enumerated only a few as follows.

Mr. Editor:—It seems that us street walkers are very hard to please. Before the rain When we would meet each other it would be, “Oh, the dust,” and now it’s .VfO h1''the-mud, the mud.” Some time ago .people were meeting at churches to pray for rain and since the rain if there has been one called together to return thanks We have failed to hear tell of it We im­ agine that the rain came in due course of time, while their prayers, or at least part ot them lodged in their mustache^ This scribe and a part of his family took a week's outing with the farmers. The leading conversation was the condition of crops and the Farmers’ Union, and we find the Farmers' Union in Rowan county is in shape to accomplish something if they will but pull together. We found the com crep in Rowan better than was thought at one time to be, out cotton is just to the reverse, very light and lint short. Wdile calling on Mrs. H. H. Ratts1 oi Craven, we bad the privilege of look­ ing over her scrap book, and while Mrs Ratts has made no special effort in poul­ try raising, the amount of chickens and eggs she has sold since the first day of January up to the 20th of August amoun­ ted to $43.90, and the family had chick­ ens and eggs to eat every time they wan­ ted them, and she now has a pullet that was hatched the first or second week in Aprilwhichcommenced laying the 20th August, and has been laying ever since. Since our return we have had fine show­ ers m and around Statesville, and sowing turnip seed is now the order of the day. Statesviixb Street Walker . Salisbury Boy Drowns. Salisbury, Sept. 3 Braxton Barkley, 17 years old, was drowned in the North Yad­ kin river, about twelve miles from this city, this morning at 10:30 o’clock at a point known as Horse Shoe bend. Young Barkley, with Floyd and Lee Bost1 brothers had gone to the home of Mr. Ed Davis1 near the scene of the drowning, with a nephew of Mr. Davis. Arriving there they went to the river and went in swimming. Floyd Bost and Barkley were, engaged in swimming from a certain point to a rock in the river called Sheephead rock. Floyd had reached the rock and Barkley was following close behind, when all of a sud­ den he called and said he was giving out and went under. Floyd let his feet down in an effort to locate the drowning boy, who grasped him by the foot, pulling him under. Bost strangled, freed himself and was then too weak to render further as­sistance to Barkley. Bost saved himself with difficulty. Bethel Items. M r.

While the crop of apples on the Cone estate at Blowing Rock is light, taken as a whole, the yield is roughly estimated at 6.000 bushels. Orates in large numbers, holding one bushel each, are now beirg prepared for the shipment of the crop. Each apple will be wrapped in paper, each paper bearing the name of the apple and the orchard from which it was gathered. Fine mountain apples so nicely handled it seems to us, bound to bring a fancy price, especially when the crop is light throughout the country, as is the case this year.

C, Hie State Should RepubSish The Bragg Fraud Commission Report. T o th e P eople of N orth C arolina: In niy speech a t B aleigh on N o­ vem ber 4 th , 1910, I brought to th e atten tio n of th e public for th e first tim e th e tru th about th e car­ p et bag bonds. I held u p before th e audience a copy each of the reports of th e B ragg and S hipp F ra u d Com m issions and stated th a t These rep o rts show ed th a t w hat has been charged by th e D em ocrat­ ic politicians and press as the “ wholesom e looting of the sta te” d u rin g th e d ark est hours of its h isto ry by the issue and th e sale o f fraudulent carpet-bag bouds was a th in g th e facts and tru th about w hich had been suppressed, and p erverted by the D em ocratic m a­ chine. I stated th a t those reports w ould show th a t a schem e or schem es w ere organized d u rin g th e sessions of th e legislatures of 1S6S and 1869 1o get ch arters to build seven or eig h t railroads, and to get the state was to accept th e stock or the bohds of the railroads in paym ent for its bonds. T hese are w hat are now know n as carpet-bag bonds, I show ed th a t the presidents of these railroads w ere, w ith one ex ception— possibly tw o—all leading D em ocrats. I show ed th a t these railroad com panies em ployed m any of th e leading law yers in th e state for th e ir attorneys, not only to h elp them d raft th e bills au d get through th e logislation, b u t also to defend th e legislation and th e va­ lid ity of th e bonds after they w ere issued, and I also show ed th a t ev­ ery one of these prom inent D em o­ cratic Iaw y eis, w ith one exception, w ere leading D em ocrats. I fu rth ­ er show ed th a t m any of these law ­ yers received large fees for th eir services, and th a t the b ulk of th eir fees w ere paid in large blocks of these state bonds, w hich had been issued for the purpose of building th e railroads, and not for th e p u r­ pose of paying th e fees of atto r neys or lobbyists. I show ed th a t th e chief argn m ents used by these railroad pres­ id en ts and th eir attorneys to se­ cu re th e passage of the bills ch ar­ terin g the com panies and th e law s authorizing th e issue of m illions and m illions of bonds w ere for the in tern al im provem ent and develop m ent oi the state, w hich w as sore Iy needed a t th a t tim e. I show ed th a t w hile som e m em ­ bers of th e legislature w ere cor­ ru p tly influenced to vote for these bonds, th a t th e best elem ent of the legislature d id it from potriotic m otives, supposing th a t th e money w ould be honestly used an d the railroads b u ilt. I show ed th a t on­ ly a very few m em bers of th e leg­ islatu re reaped any benefit from th e “ enorm ous lootiug of the state, b u t th a t th e big “ g raft” w ent to these leading D em ocrats and th eir associates who organized the ra il­ road schem es and who handled the bonds after they w ere issued by th e state. I fu rth er show ed th at it w as a B epublican Suprem e C ourt th a t declared these bonds invalid m ved the S tate from th e pay- |f the sam e, w hile the valid- Siese bonds was being stren- | upheld by m any of the Iead- t.niocratic law yers of the T he concluding p a rt of m y on this subject is as follows: tie se a re a few of th e facls JPn by these reports. So we now th a t it was th is com bina Io f leading D em ocrats whocon- \ l th e plan, dtew th e bills, ffh rough th e legislation, and th e carpet-bag bonds issued.

I declared th a t in th e in terast of tru th I w ould have it repub lished. TTpon th e advice of a num ber of friends since th a t d ate, I have con­ cluded th a t it is not m y d u ty asan individual to republish th is report b u t th a t it is the d u ty of the S tate to republish this official docum ent in the in terest of th e tru th of h is­ tory. Bveryr good citizen of th e S tate who believes in tru th and fair.play should dem and th a t th e m em bers of th e next legislature should vote to rep rin t th is rep o rt.

Afraid of Ghosts Many people arc afraid of ghosts. Few people are afraid of germs. Yct the ghost is n fancy and the germ is a fact. Ii the germ could be magnified to a size equal to its terrors it would appear more terrible than any fire-breathing dragon. Germs can’t be avoided. They are in the air we breathe, .the water we drink.The germ can only prosper when the condition cf the system gives it free scope to establish it­ self and develop. When there is a deficiency of vital force, languor, restlessness, a sallow cheek, n hollow eye, when the appetite is poor and the sleep is broken, it is time to guard against the germ. You can Iortify the body against all germs by the use of Dr. Pierce’s Gold­en Medical Discovery. It increases the vital power, cleanses the system of clogging impurities, enriches the blood, puts the stom­ach and organs of digestion and nutrition in working condition, so that the germ finds no weak or tainted spot in which to breed. 44Gotden Medical Discovery” contains no alcohol, whisky or habit-forming drugs.

The W inston Journal says “ if folks in the seventh d istrict will take our advise they will leave Bob P age in Congress.” W onder why they would?

Notli- county conser­ vatism. IfttuP® © -.would build 18 miles of road and contrii'ite her share to the construction of a steel TrJidge across the Yadkin, this splendid dream would become a reality. Withina short -time Jerusalem township will have complei»| a road to within five miles of MocksviUe.- If this Jerusalem road could be extended to MocksviUe; thence to Hall’s Ferry, a distance of 18 miles, the circuit referred to above would be complete. WiURowan and Forsyth join us in this matter and effect their part of the connection? Hear what Rowan says. She has already com­ pleted a splendid road from Salisbury to the Davie line at Ford’s milk She is ready and stands waiting to do her part in con­ structing a steel bridge over the river, whenever Davie county gets ready to do her part. Rowan has a second road lead­ ing towards Davie via Cooleemee. Only 7 miles are wanting to connect this road with Cooleemee. The officials of the Je­ rusalem TownshipGoodRoadsAssociation appeared before the Rowan Commission­ ers, in executive session, on the past first Monday and requested them, in compU- ment to the good roads sentiment in Je­ rusalem township, to complete this second road to Davie county via Cooleemee, at an early day. Without a dissenting voice they readUy agreed to go at the work im­ mediately. There is already a steel bridge at Cooleemee. Thus, in a short while, we shall have two connections with Rowan. But how about Forsyth county. Let Forsyth county answer. From a letter to the writer.written by a leading and dom­ inant spirit in Forsyth county, dated Aug. 21,1 quote as foUows: We are going to designate two.or three main roads leading in different directions from Winston on the first Monday in Sep­tember, and wiU likely decide on the ClemmonsvUie road leading to HaU’s Fer­ry on the Yadkin River, or some point near there. We hope to get Davie county to join with us a^d put a fine steel bridge across the river above high water mark, and if Davie county wiU build the road to the river, we can then have an automo­bile highway from Winston by MocksviUe and Jemsalem to Salisbury and on to Charlotte, without much expense to your countv; and I trust Davie county wifi be ready to do her fnll part as she always does in aU matters of importance to this good county,” Whodoubtstbat Forsyth wiU do her part? What stands in the way of this splendid highway. Only 18 miles of road in Davie county and a bridge across the Yadkin! In the construction of this bridge Davie would be expected to contribute her pro rata share—in ratio of her polls and listed property. The writer has no access to the census of 1910, but in 1900 the ra­ tio of poU and listed property in Davie to that-in Forsyth was approximately I toff. It must now be at least I to 6, say I to 5. Then Davie’s part of bridge cost would -be one-isixth. . The total cost of bridge would probably' not exceed $10,000, our part $1,- 600 - The 15 miles of road, if sand-clay, the very best sort of road, would cost, un­ der good management, about $500 a mile, but grant that it would cost $1,000, then Davie county would hay'e to provide for only $19,600, as her part in this great highway. Our neighbor on the west, Ire­ dell,, has provided a road fund of $400,000. To connect with Winston and Greensboro via MocksviUe, IredeU wiU gladly build a road from Statesville to Davie county at the proper point. If this Winston-States- ville connection could be effected at an early day—and nothing stands in the way but inaction on the part of Davie county, in all probability “The Great Central High­ way” from the sea to the mountains would pass through tlie heart of our county, Who can estimate the value to MocksviUe and Davie county of such aconsumation? But what wiU be Davie's part of this ex­ pense? Ninemiles ofadditionalroad at say $1,000 per mile, but $500 is a plenty, making $9,090. Davie's total from Win­ ston to Salisbury and Charlotte, $19,600. The grand total making all connections, Winston, MocksviUe and Salisbury and Winston, MocksviUe and Statesville only $38,600, which is less than one-twelfth of what Iredell proposes to spend on good roads within the next few months. A bond issue of $30,000 to run 15 or20 years would be felt by nobody. The taxes on increased property values, including that coming in with immigration, would more than absorb the bonds in the time men­ tioned. Will Davie county stupidly con­ tinue to lag behind? . WiUshecontinueto handicap her neighbors, Rowan, Forsyth and Iredell, by obstinately refusing to con­ tribute in effecting connections? I do not believe she will, I am one of her citizens by deliberate cuoice. I have been in near­ ly aU the counties in North Carolina, I have seen more than half of the Ameri­ can States, I have traveled extensively in nearly all the great countries of Europe and it is my sincere conviction that there is reaUy and potentially no greater coun­ ty in the world than this same Davie county. But we must get a move on our­ selves. The psychological, and I may add the psychagogical hour has arrived. We must face this exigency in a way that our children shaU not be ashamed of us, when we shall have passed. Our neighboring counties are ready and are anxiously waiting to strike hands with us. Wemnst not delay. We must come together in mass meeting and devise plans to meet the demands of the hour. Saturday, the 30th of September has been named. The meeting will be held in the court house I at MocksviUe, at 10 a, m. Thefriendsof good roads from Winston, Salisbury andjhere. Statesville will be present. Thcoliice of!

The committee was com­posed of cotton growers who were largely influenced by scores of telegrams and messages trom all parts of the South, many of which urged a minimum of fif­teen cents. j)R. ROBT.

T. Angell. On the 22nd of August I left Mocksville on my way to see some of the big cities in the North. My first stop was Atlantic City, the city of pleasure. This could well be called the city of hotels. It is the greatest snmmer resort in the world. I saw thousands of people in bathing at once, and I was one among the number. I could not remain on the shore and had to join the multitude of happy bathers. The city was full of people front all parts of the Uuited States, and I do not exag­ gerate in saying they were the best look­ ing people I ever saw, taken as a whole. I think any Southerner would enjoy a trip to Atlantic City. From there I went to Philadelphia and remained for a short time. The city of Brotherly Love is the third largest city in this country, and is well worth taking in. My next stop was New York City, the greatest city in the world. I entered the city under the Hud­ son river tunnel, arriving at the Pennsyl­ vania station. It is the finest station in the world. Arriving in the city I went to Hotel Taft, where I stopped. After sup­ per! caught an elevated car and went to Coney Island, crossing the Brooklyn bridge on the way. No greater sight is to be seen than Coney Island by night, with its millions of electric lights arranged in all manner of beauty and colors. One can­ not realize that it is niglit, with the glit­ tering myrads of lights flashing every­ where. It would be impossible for my poor pen to portray even a tenth, of what is to be seen at this famous resort and place of amusement. Here it is that one comes in contact with all of God's creat­ ures, the extreme rich and the miserably poor, the lame, the halt, the blind, the saint and the sinner. It is a place for the millionaire to enjoy himself, for there are plenty of things to attract him. I spent until 1:30 o’clock, a. m., two nights at Coney Island.. Arriving back in New York at that hour in the morning, the streets were full of automobiles apd peo pie. I rode on the subway under the city, where stations were located thickly? The elevated, surface and subway cars are crowded all the time. Broadway and Wall Street presented many wonders to me. The tall buildings and the awful throng of people passing back and forth, fills one’s mind with' the greatness of our country. I walked the Brooklyn bridge just for the sights I could see while cross­ ing it. It is a sight to see the travel on this bridge. I saw many things in New York, but space will not permit me to dwelt on them. I then started on my re­ turn frip, passing through Philadelphia, Baltimore and Washington, all of which are good cities. While in Washington I visited the public buildings, the Washing ton monnment, the White House and the Zoo-ological Park. I went and sat down on the porch where old Abraham Uncoln sat while he was President. I enjoyed my visit through the United States Capi­ tol. I want to say now that the saddest thing I saw in Washington was the open saloon. If the Capitol City sells liquor, how can we ever abolish the evil from our country. I long to see the day when we are a pure people free from the eursej of whiskey. After taking in the city cAf Washington, I started back to the OJfj North State, leaving Washington Sunday morning at 9 o'clock. The scenery is/ fine from Washington to Danville. I eryjoyed the trip in daytime. I arrived h<u*de bet­ ter satisfied than I ever was in Jmy life. I have been West twice and dp%n South to Florida, and North as far as New ^ork, and I am frank in saying ■-"chat the. Old North State is the best pKace of all.

WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 20. 1911 NUMBER 11 Some 1912 Speculations. W e believe it w as som ething like tw o w eeks ago th a t Colonel Bryan, in a speech or interview a t A urora, 111,, declared; “ H arm on has no strength, so to speak, in the states in which the fight m ust be made, w ith the exception of N ew Y ork.” Therefore, according to the judg­ m ent of Colonel B ryan the D em ocra­ cy could discard G overnor H arm on, in favor of Clark, W i1^ n , Polk or M arshall, as the standard-bearer of th e party in the cam paign of 1912. k Sr W ith the lack Ot perspicacity char- acterstic of discredited leadership, Colonel B ryan assum es th a t the De- j m ocratic party can well aiford to lose New Y ork sta te in th e hope of gaining in other sections. O ver against the opinions of Col­ onel Bryan m ay be placed the belief of the N ew Y ork W orld, w hich can hardly be questioned as the. leading new spaper exponent of the Demo­ cratic p arty in the nation. T hat g reat paper only recently declared: “ It is absurd to believe th a t w ithout N ew Y ork the D em ocrats could car­ ry the election.” In the election of 1908, M r. T aft carried the follow ing states: C alifornia 10 New Jersey 12 Connecticut 7New Y ork 39 D elaw are 3 N orth D akota 4 Idaho 3Ohio 23 Illinois 27 Oregon 4 Indiana 15 Pennsylvania 34 Iow a 13 Rhode Island 4 K ansas 10South D akota 4 M aine 6U tah 3 M aryland 2 V erm ont 4 M assachusetts 16W. V irginia 7 M ichigan 14W ashington 5 M innesota 11Wisconsin 13 M issouri 18 W yoming 3 M ontana 3 N . H am pshire 4 Total 321 In th a t election Colonel B ryan re­ ceived a total of 162 electorial votes. A t th a t tim e the m ajority required to elect a President w as 242. U nder th e new apportionm ent itw ill require 263, leaving out N ew Mexico and Arizona. In 1912, a division of the states based on the returns of 1908 would give the Republicans 32 ad­ ditional votes and the D em ocrats 10 additional. I f the Republican nom i­ nee carries theisam e states in 1912 ginja, 8; and California, 10. Then, In the event that. Champ C lark is th e Nom inee, we m ust place New Jeraey in the Republican col­ um n and look fo r the gain elsewhere. M ost assuredly M r. Clark would stand no b etter show of gaining in th e eastern states than Governor Wilson, and, giving.>!m all the sou! thern states th at Colonel B rvan car­ ried in 1908. M r. Clark wtjuld still need 70 votes, even after” conceding M issouri to him . In any event, and upon any basis of speculation, the D em ocrats m ust m ake trem endous gains to change th e situation and win a victory, and it is no tim e fo r Colonel B ryan or anybody else.to. 6». snlitting hairs about who should be the nom inee. I t is hard to conceive how Colonel Bryan can figure th a t any D em ocrat can have a reasonable show fo r elec­ tion w ithout N ew Y ork; and if Gov­ ernor H arm on could carry the nor m al D em ocratic states in addition to New Y ork he would still be conside­ rably short of enough votes to elect him. W ilson, Clark, or M arshall would have to develop an am azing strength in R epublicanstatesoutside of N ew Y ork to offset the em pire sta te sacrifice As to w hether this can be done th ere is another field of speculation, involving all th a t was done, or attem pted, in the special sessiou—and it is the m erest specu­ lation a t th at.—Greensboro News. MMD w ould receive 353 electoral votes. Som ething th ere to be overcom e if th e D em ocrats hope to win. N ow, figuring according to the estim ates given by the New York W orld, w ithout N ew Y ork state, w hich gave M r. T aft 202,602 plural­ ity in 1908, the D em ocratic chances w ould be slim , Eleven southern states and O klahom a will furnish the D em ocrats the sm all nucleus of 137 votes. If w e add to this the five re­ m aining B ryan states—Colarado, K entucky, 13; M aryland, 6; N ebraska 8; N evada, 8—the D em ocratic can­ didate w ould have only 178 votes, w hich is 90 short of a m ajority of th e electoral college.

M cEarchern who edits one of the departm ents of the Red S prings Citizen m ade some sober and tim ely rem arks recently upon the difference in the training of the girls of today and those a generation ago. H e referred to the uselessness and helplessness of the average girl in o u r tow ns as contrasted w ith the vigor and dom estic intelligence of those of th e earlier period. H is observations are too tru e to be plea­ sant. M any a m other, well versed in the im portant duties of the house­ hold, is • failing to im part to her daughters the know ledge th a t has heen so large a factor in the com­ fo rt and happiness of the fam ily, and w hen th e girl is separated from h er m other and is obliged to do her m other’s p a rt in the w orld’s w ork, she will find herself overw helm ed and unready. In our Southern social life it is m ore im portant th an ever before th at our girls should be train­ ed housekeepers fo r dom estic service is constantly becom ing h ard er to eontrol and m ore unsatisfactory and inefficient. Besides, girls, like boys, grow ing up in idleness and living aim less lives, cannot m easure up to w h at they w ould have been w ith bet­ te r training. Everybody ought to have definite system atic w ork to do, I t is exactly as essential for a girl as it is fo r a boy. To dress, and daw dle and yaw n and parade the streets w ith o u t a thought or care of how things are going a t hom e is the poor­ est and em ptiest life in th e w orld, and th e w orst possible preparation fo r the com ing tim e when these sam e girls m ust knuckle down to h ones w ork. F or the m ost of us are not able, even if we are inclined, to dream th e hours aw ay. W e will wake up som e tim e, som ew here to th e re­ alities around us, and it is a pitiful th in g to reach this period unprepar­ ed. M others ought to rem em ber these things,-and not allow them ­ selves to becom e the slaves of their children in order th a t they m ay have “ a good tim e.” Not A Word of Scandal marred the call of a neighbor on Mrs. W.

More Billions for the Sonthi I 'i A possibility contem plated by T he M anufacturers’ Record is th a t w ith­ in th e next ten years ow ners of Southern farm lands in addition to the annual profit derivable from cul­ tivation, will gain five billion six hun­ dred m illion dollars through increas­ ed value. This increase, forecasted partly on the basis of an increase in value per acre from $<5.88 to *$15.84 betw een 1000 and 1910, would bring the aggregate value up to nearly eleven billions. It assum es th a t w ith­ in the n ex t ten years Southern farm lands will advance to a t least the present value of farm lands for the U nited S tates as a whole. O f course not all land ow ners will profit equal­ ly by this huge “ unearned increm ­ en t” b u t the average profit will be very large. A sT heR ecord observes, “ W hen once w ealth begins to accum ulate in a com m unity rich in n atural resour­ ces, the m om entum increases w ith trem endous pow er.” T he South has fairly struck the g ait, diversified oc­ cupation furnishing headw ay which operates fo r the spread of w ealth like an endless ch ain ..

Says a poky paragrapher In a penny morning sheet: We could save a pot of money If we didn't have to eat." That’s a fact beyond disputing. And it’s evident, no less, That our wads would be much fatter If we didn't have to dress. Furthermore, the truth here stated Should be plain to any gawk: We could save a lot of footwear If we didn’t have to walk. Then again we’d do more labor And some extra shekels reap, Also save on beds and bedding. If we didn’t have to sleep. Summing up, to this conclusion Free indorsement you will give: We could be as rich as Rocky If we didn't have to live. Preacher Goes to Shows. Savannah News.

Boy from your dealer, or by mau from McCALL’S MAGAZINE 236-246 W. 37th St., New York City Aids Naime The great success of Dr. Pierce’s GoUe-Il Medical Dis­ covery in curing weak stomachs, wasted bodies/ weak lungs, and obstinate and lingering coughs, is based on the recognition of the fundamental truth that ffGolden Medical Discovery” supplies Nature with body-build­ing, tissue-repairing, muscle-making materials, in con­densed and concentrated iam. With this help Nature supplies the necessary strength to the stomach to digest iood, build up the body and thereby throw off lingering obstinate coughs.
