10-October“HERE SHALL THE PRESS, THE PEOPLE’S RIGHTS MAINTAIN; UNAWED BY INFLUENCE AND UNBRIBED BY GAIN.” VOLUMN XIII.MOCKSVILLE. NORTH CAROLINA. WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 4. 1911 NUMBER 13 I WHY WE ARE RICH. T here a re various and sundry reasons w hy all editors are rich. O ne of th e m ain reasons is th a t he does w h at everybody tells him to do. O ne of o u r subscribers told us th e other d ay th a t we should w rite m ore articles for our paper, w hich explains w hy we are giving you th is w ail of woo instead of chasing an enem y w ho ju s t arriv ed in th e tow n, and who owes us four years subscription. W e are getting rich rap id ly . D uriug th e course of a year we receive several hundred dollars w orth of th an k s w hich p a r tially feeds us, th u s saving m any dollars on o u r grocery bill. Once in a w hile we receive a load of oak or pine wood, a few vegetables and a blackberry pie, all of w hich is cap ital. A bout th is tim e ol year w e v isit a hom e m erchant a dozen try in g to secure a 50 cent adver tisem ent. T h a t’s m ore cap ital. W e take th e filthy lucre o u t of our pocket to buy p aper an d in k and send our paper a y ear to th e boys w ho are afraid to pay a year in a d vance lest th ey die before th eir subscription ru n s out. T hey never do th at— they live u n til th eir su b scription is a year behind and then die. T h at’s m ore cap ital. W on d er w hat becom es of a fellow w ho dies ow ing an editor! O nce in a w hile w hen th e office ren t is d n e, or a p aper bill is hanging over o u r h ead, we m ake out subscription bills-against our w ealthy subscrib ers in th e city, an d sta rt o u r office boy o u t after them . T hey h av en ’t th e sm all am ount necessary to set tle u p , an d send us w ord th a t they w ill see us, or w ill p ay tom orrow , a d ay w hich never arriv es. T hey generally see us, w hich doesn’t h elp onr grocery bills m uch. If th e boy strikeB a poor m an and gets a h alf dollar, th a t’s m ore cap ita l. W onder w hy i t h u rts a ricb m an so m uch m ore to p ay his su b scription th an it does a poor m an! O ccasionally we get o u t on a cam paign for new subscribers. T he first fellow we strik e tells us th a t h e takes m ore papers th an h e can read , and th e others say the sam e. A fter investigating, we find th a t th ey do not tak e a county paper, and oftentim es not a S tate paper, sending to d istan t cities for theii reading m atter. W hen we strik e a good citizen of th e county w ho tak es a p rid e in th e grow th and developm ent of his section and S tate, and w ho believes in helping hom e industries and being helped by them , then we get a new sub scriber. T h at’s eapital. M uch of o u r space is alw ays given to boost in g u p our people, our tow n, coun; ty and S tate. T h at is m aking cap ita l for th e capitalist, th e m en who own th e land, th e factories and the business houses, W hen a new b u s iness, firm or corporation com es to th e tow n or county, th ey expect a free w rite u p and get it; w e ex p ect an advertisem ent or som e jo b p rin tin g and never get it. T h a t’s capital'.for th e 6 tb er fellow . T he life o f an e d ito r is strew n w ith ros es, m ixed w ith th o rn s. Is it any w onder th a t h e is rich! H e does m uch for th e good of his com m un ity , and in stead p f receiving th an k s h e receives cursings. T h a t’s m ore capital- K o m an gets so low that, th e editor w ill hot tru st him . T he ed ito r tru sts everybody, gets cuss ed for tru stin g and finally busts by tru stin g . H e is cheated o u t of enough m oney each year to p u r chase food to teed th e tow n in w hich h e lives 'for a w eek, T he ed ito r seldom i f ever, becom es d is couraged. H e alw ays looks on the b rig h t side of life. M any tim es he doesn’t know w here th e m oney is to com e from to b u y even th e ne cessities of life, b u t he keeps boost in g th e little hom e tow n, and say in g good things about those w ho spitefully use him , and w ho have stopped th eir p ap er ow ing h im for th ree or io u r years subscription, O f course tne editor has m any tru e and loyal friends. W ere it not for them he w ould soon have to seek som e o th er calling. T he m an who w alks into our shop every year and tells us he likes o u r p a per, and bands us h is renew al, is our friend. T he m erchant w ho be lieves in helping him self and the editor by advertising his goods in our pap er, an d giving us his p rin t ing, is o u r friend. Those who fur nish us the news, those who ask th eir friends to tak e our p aper are our friends. W e couldn’t do w ith o ut them , for they are o u r com fort an d Btay in th e tim e of need. W e shall continue to striv e to m erit th e patronage and good w ill of the peeple th roughout th is, o u r native county an d S tate, th e hom e of the best people to be found anyw here. W e are not heaping u p riches— only striving to help o u r fellow- B F iT ontE eiF fburney tfirtragfi^iifel Winter Cover Crops. E very farm er owes it to him self, to his fam ily and to posterity, to take th e best care of his land th a t he possibly can; to m aintain its fertility and to keep it from w ash ing aw ay. Investigators, w hether scientists or practical farm ers, h av e found th a t w iister cover crops of any k ind prevent land, ia a large m easure, from w ashing, and when tu rn ed uuder th e follow ing spring m ake it m ore productive th an if no crop h ad grow n on it. A n experim ent covering a num ber of years, in one of th e N orth W estern states, show ed th a t m ore p lan t food was lost from the land d u rin g th e m onths w hen no crops were grow n on it th an w as taken off ir, th e reg u lar sum m er crops, if th is was tru e in th a t state w here theyvhave long an d cold w inters wheiji leaching is im possible for w eeks a t a tim e, how m uch m ore w ould it be tru e in N orth C arolina w ith h er open w inters w hen p lan t food dan be leached from oue soils alm ost any w eek d u rin g w inter m onths. A ton of green rye contains, ac cording to good authorities, about 6.6 pounds nitrogen, 3 pounds phosphoric acid, an d 14,6 pounds potash. A ton of green w heat con tains 10.8 pound nitrogen, 3 pounds phosphoric acid, and 14 pounds potash. G re e n o a ts c o n ta in jn s ta little less p lan t food th an docs green w heat. A ton of green crim son clover contains 8.6 pounds n i trogen, 2.6 phosphoric acid, and 9.8 pounds potash. K ed clover, B ur clover and th e vetches contain m ore p lan t food in th eir green state th an crim son clover d o es.' T he w eeat and rye m entioned above w as probably grow n on fertile land w hich explains th e ir high percent age of nitrogen, io r it is an estab lished fact that crops grow n on rich land contain m ore nitrogen than w hen grow n on poor lan d . F or th a t reason g ^ in grow n on rich land has a h ig h er feeding value th an th a t grow n on poor lan d . I t m ay be well for us to rem em ber th is w hen grow ing g rain for our own feeding purposes.

W all S treet is hard to b u tt against b u t she can’t control your Uncle Sam uel, who is th e best friend the farm er has. Theoretical Friends and Practical Enemies. Carolina Union Farmer. A great Southern historian and states man once said: "Theoretically the farm er has no enemies. Practically, he has no friends," There is a world of mean ing to that saying. In a half century there has been perhaps only one act of legislation written upon the statute books for the sole benefit of the fanners, and that was the rural free delivery mail ser vice, which was secured-by representa tives of the Fanners’ Alliance. This is an educational convenience that would be hard to duplicate by any other act of legislation, but outside of its indirect re sults in an educational way, there is in it no financial relief or benefit afforded to the people who till the soil. Practically all the balance of the thousands of vol umes of legislation has been one act of class favoritism after another, in favor of those -who have accumulated what others have produced! We are not forgetful of the fact that in their feeble and ineffic ient way the State and National govern ments have both done what they could, in a theoretical way, and in a few in stances, in a practical way, to teach the farmers how to produce bigger crops, but both State and National departments of agriculture are used by party conventions and party patronage machines to reward politicians for party service, and after se curing the strongest and hardest compe tition possible between farmers to pro duce maximum aggregate yields, these departments of government leave the til lers of the soil in the grasp of an organ ized system of commercialism (backed up by all sorts of special legislation in its favor from the national banking system down to various private interests and enterprises) and it is then that the farmers enter again into minous competition with each other by selling their products in congested markets, manipulated by a gang of commercial pirates who pocket all the profits from the soil, and the big aggre gate yields thrown upon the market cause failing prices, which enable the non-pro- ducers of the towns and cities to buy their living cheaply at the expense of the men who produce it! He Remembel ed. Counsel for the defense began to cross exam ine a w itness. “ Y our nam e, if I understand you correctly,” he said, “ is Jo h n B inks. Is th a t right?” “ Yes, s ir.” “ Now , have you ever been a r rested on a crim inal charge!” “ No, sir,’’ indig n an tly answ ered th e w itness; “ never!” “ D id you ever com m it an of fense for w hich you m ight ju stly have been arrested!” “ N ever, sir!” “ Now, is it not a fact th a t you ence stole from your own fath er!” H ere counsel on th e other side in terposed, b u t th e w itness chose to answ er. “ No, s ir,” he exclaim ed, “ nev er in m y life!” “ W ell, th e n ,” continued th e cross-exam ining counsel, “ suppose I say I know th a t jo u d id steal from your fath er!” “ G entlem en,” said th e w itness, tu rn in g to th e ju ry , “ h e’s rig h t.

When the offi cers reported to the conductor they were told that they had been called to attend to a man a Dd a woman ■who occupied a berth in a sleeper and who iusisted on taking a, dog to bed with them, which is against the rules made and provided. Offi cer Moore went to the dog owners and told them that the dog would have to go to the baggage car if it rode on that train, ami then the owners ot the little old canine de clared that they and the “little doggie” would stay together. They were told that they could all thr.ee stay together, but uot in the sleep ing car, and the owners of the dog quit their berth in the Pullman slleper, took; their dog and \?«nt to the baggage car, aud left here fondling and talking to the dog and bumping along in the baggage car.

A dashing young country swain who was dead in love, wrote his little bunch of sweetness a letter as follows:Dearest, my love for you is stronger than coffee or the kick of a cow. When I think of you my heart flops up and down like my mother’s churn dasher and visions of doubt creep over my soul until I feel like an old cheese board made full of holes by skippers. Sensations of, exquisite joy go through me like young goats over a stable roof. I feel as though I could lift myself with my boot strap to the height of a church steeple. As a goslin swimmeth in a mud puddle, so do I swim in a sea of delightfulness when you are near me.

NORTH CAROLINA, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 18. 1911,NUMBER 15 Unde Tobey’s Lecture on Porches. On my recent visit to my o'd home in North Missouri I was im pressed with the absence of por ches to the dwellings in that section of the country, Large and costly buildings constructed wiih all the comforts and conveniences possible on the inside, but with only a small porch at tho front door about large enough for two dogs to sleep on. Having lived iu the South for thirty years, these houses looked bare and “burnish’’ to me. Bnt the looks of the thing didn’t strike me so forcibly as the nneomfor- tableness of it. When the mercury had lifted itself out Of the nineties and.climed six degrees over the hundred mark, as it did one day while we were up there, it may fce cooler in the house than it is on a porch on the shady side of the house, but they coult not make me believe it, and I took refuge in the shade of friendly trees in the yard. If thermometers ever lie it is when you put them in a secluded and dark room where the air is damp and mouldy for want of sun light. A porch makes a house look cool, and when you are sitting out there in a great easy rocking chair you feel cool, and that is the whole thing. The Southern homes are remarkable for the expansive- nCJS-of their porches, and even the dog6 appreciate tb«r aWsi' '.t. When I first went South about thirty years aSo I boarded with an old farmer and merchant whose house had porches on five sides and one through the center. I may be mistaken about the Bides, but know that I am correct a9 to the number through the center, and distinctly remember that there was a long one in front and some at the back of the house, I don’t Bee see how anyone can get along with out one or more porches. They are convenient and useful in many ways, Ou the side of the walls of tne house you can have pins of large nails to hang your harness and saddles and bridles. If the porch is not ceiled you can put lumber, old plows and seed corn on the rafters abovo. On the floor you can store away your farm ma chinery, such as reapers and mow ers, hay rakes and threshing ma chines. A weil-ventilated porch (aud all porches should be ventilat ed) is a splendid place for the dogs to«sJgfep. They are also used by some of the best people for that puepose. Good authorities say that sleeping on the porch in the winter time will cure the consump tion. When this is done a small space should be walled in with a wire screen to prevent the cows from biting you. In the good old summer time there is more sparking done on porches than at all other places combined; that is in a section of country where the porch has been adopted as a necessity. Your Uncle Tobey has it from good authority that porch Bparking is the best brand on the market. We have four girls at our house; one is our daughter and the other three are just “our girls.” They are a'l stenographers and one is a book keeper. They are likewise all' single, but want to get married. Vv e have also a very extensive porchr on two sides of the house. This makes a good combination; I mean the girls and the porch. When the girls come home from their work of nine hours in a hot office you couldn’t tie one of them in the house. Theychasethedogs off the porch and easily absorb the contents of the daily paper and magazines and accumulate the fleas which the dogs in their hurry thoughtlessly and inadvertently left behind them. These girls do nearly all their Bparking on the porch. They sit out there and watch the fleecy clouds as they darw a silvery net over the moon, count the automo biles as they whiz by and wonder where the firclly gets his illuminat ing material. Of course they talk seme, but the porch is long and very seldom more than two dates come together, so the couple at one end of the porch can’t see or hear the pair at the other end. Oh, I know that it is nice for no one has njumpeu the game” dur ing the whole summer, aud then I’ve tried it mpself iu the days long gone by. If I ever build a house I shall figure on the cost of the porch first, and then if I’ve got money enough left to build the house I’ll go a- head; if not I’ll put off. the whole job until I have money enough to build both.—Home and Farm. Climate Chams Them. Greensboro Record. Many people who have found time and had the means to take long trips this summer, some going as far as Canada, return well pleased, but it is worthy of note that oui is seldom met, who would be willing to leave piedment North Carolina and live in other climes. This is the best climate on earth, proof of which is shown in the fact that when a man comes here and lives for a few years he never wants to leave. Satan’s Sons And Daughters. Word comes from Hagerstown. Maryland, that a gang of soulless snoligosters in the shape of human beings held a regular break-down shindig aud double-geared' dance in a graveyard at that place one night recently. It seems that some of the fast bucks aud buckesses tanked up on red-eye and other delightful dopes till they lost what little conscience they ever had and felt able to fight a Kansas cyclone or drive the devil out of his den. And in that glorious state of mind aud body they wended their way to the oid graveyard where their good Old ancestors were rest ing cuder the sod. They hung lanterns on the monuments to cast a dim' glimmer over the awful scene, and they locked arms aud crow-hopped it over the grassy mounds till the place looked like where a tribe of savage Indians had hftld. a war-dance. When this shameful perform ance was discovered by the decent citizens of the community, there was something else doing. TLey called on the officers of the la w to take charge of the gay young hea then, and if they don’t make them see stars they will fail to do their duty. Such a set of wild and wooly barbarians ought to be stripped naked as Adam and cow-hided till their miserable carcasses wouldn’t hold shucks. And then they ought to be pnt in the pen aud made to work eighteen hours a day making white oak "paddles to be worn out over their western hemispheres. Fool Killer. The Covered Wagons.

THE DAVIE RECORD.! TaflK“‘ C FRANK STROUD Editor. OFFICE--.Second Slory AogeI Buildiug, Main St. Entered at the Postofflce in Moeks ville, N. C., as Second-class Mail matter, March 3,1903. TERMS OF SUBSCRIPTION: One Year, in Advance.........................SOe Six Months, in Advance.......................25c WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER IR. 1911 The Record believes that every man in Davie county should join the Good Roads Association. There is not and should not be any politics in building good roads. Everybody wants, or should want them, regardless of politics. Congressman Nick Longworth says that William IL Taft will be the next nominee for President. Is it possible.FLETCHER BROS. I Judge Daniel Happy. W’hile holding court here the past week .liiilge Daniel received a telegram telling of the arrival Cf a fine li-pound daughter at his home at Goldsboro. Clary’s Sentence Reduced. Before leaving town Thursday Judge Daniel reduced the sentence of Julius Clary from five to three years. He was convicted of manslaughter. The hit dog howls. The Recond lost one subscriber last week on ac count of an article thatappeared in our columns. Some people cannot stand to read the truth. Two or three hundred people have inquired of us the name of the mer chant who doesn’t care for the far mers’ trade, which shows that it pays to advertise. If every man in Davie county would put as much ginger into his work as a pig does into motion when he scratches his back against a fence there would be an era of prosperity strike us never before heard of. The'grand jury reported the jail and court house to be In good con dition, but. recommended a new county home building. The present county home is a disgrace to the county and the citizens, and we trust that the Commissioners will at an date put up a modern, up-to-date building. The best people in Davie county are subscribers to The Record, a- mong them being some of the richest as well as the poorest people in the eounty. The Record doesn’t gage a .man’s character bv the amount of dollars he can put up. As a rule, the poor man is a better Christian than the rich and pays his debts more -.promptly. ■ THE CHARLOTTE OBSERVER. The Charlotte Observer, in its issue of Oct. 6th, contains the pleasing informa tion that after November lst, Maj. James C. Hemphill, for many years editor of The Charleston News and Courier, and for the gast two years editor of The Richmond Times-Dispatch, will become the editor of The Charlotte Obseiver, while Mr. A. E. Conzales, for years connected with the Columbia State, is to become publisher and managing director. Two stronger newspaper men than those mentioned a- bove cannot be found in 'he South, prob ably not in this country. The Charlotte Observer hes always been a good paper_ by far the best daily that comes to The Record office, and with such able men as Hemphill and Gonzales connected with it, The Observer will be greatly strengthened and improved. Mr, George Stephens and Mr. W. H. Wood are to become stockhold ers under the new organization. The many friends of the paper will be glad to learn that Mr. D. A. Tompkins will still retain stock in the company, as he has Iieets a. great factor in building the paper up from the ground to its present high position in the journalistic world. The Record would suggest that Major Hemp hill’s leading editorial on the morning of ■ November 1st, be headed in a manner like unto this: “Historical Doubts a3 to The Validity of The Mecklenburg Declara tion of Independence." Here’s wishing The Observer, under its new management, the greatest success. EVERYBODY BUT THE EDITOR. AU rights preserved. Everybody works but the editor, He hangs around all day, Looking for those who owe him, But they never come up to pay. Everybody eats but the editor; He don’t know how it’s done, The people feed him on hot air And call him a son of-a-gun. Everybody has cash but the editor He cannot stand the strain; The only thing he’s good foi ls a pass on a passenger train. Everybody puts on airs but the editor He’s too poor to try, It takes him and all his family, To make a very small fry. Everybody pays bills but the editor, People call him a stingy guy, He can’t buy even a pair of socks, And has to get them on the sly. Two Negroes Lynched. Two negroes were lynched last week for committing the nameless crime, one in South Carolina the other in Georgia. Sherri!!—Miller. Cards are out announcing the marriage of Mr. Carl Sherrill, of Mt.

Success to The Record and its many readers. Sisters. In Memorium of Elsie Pickle. Elsie, the oldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. E. F. Pickle, died at her home on Advance, Route 3, Saturday night, Oct. 7th, of appendicitis Ail that earthly power couid do was done for the precious loved one, but it seemed God had called his own to abide in a better land. She called all her people to her bedside and tried to show them her heavenly vision. She told them she was going to die and aske.l them to meet her in lieaven. Tis true tie^tli loves a shining mark, and it seems to the hearts bereft that it bears away the brightest and best. 'Tis hard to part from our loved ones, but we must remember that God says in his blessed word, “Come unto me all ye that labor and are heavy ladenand I will give thee rest.” Still sometimes we forget the gar den of Gethsemene and how the Savior lias thrown his arms about us urging us to follow Him. May God’s richest bless ings and pity rest upon the grief-stricken father and mother and comfort the dear little sister and brother, and may the loss of this loved one draw them closer to Thee. The remains was buried at Good Hope Sunday evening to await the resur rection mom. Funeral services were con- ductee by her pastor. Rev. Ratledge. A gentle one from us has gone, A voice we loved is still, A place is vacant in our home Which never-can be filled. — Elizabeth Crews. GRADED SCHOOL HONOR ROLL. Week ending Oct. 13, 1911.

WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 25. 1911 NUMBER 16 tes-About His Trip to New Mexico. Justice, in Union Republican. According to my promise I drop you a line to let you know I am hetV io New Mexico just in the edge of the Boekies on my way to the Gila River to fish and hunt, an account of which I may give yon when again I reach the confines of civilization. I wish every maa in North Caro lina couid travel over the ronte I have, which was by New Orleans over the Southern Pacific. If they could the disease known as the Western fever would be entirely cured. Before we reached San Antonio, Texaa, and for hundreds of miles after leaving there we passed through a beautiful, level country, but the cotton did not average a toot high, a large part being over six inches and every thing else in proportion, the land looked good, but they have no rain and no streams from which to irri gate, which is the trouble. I think if Mr. Carnegie could see what these farmers have to contend with he would give every one of them a hero metal. The native growth all through here is Mesquite sage brushes, with a large sprinkle of cactus. The mesqcite is a bush that grows in clusters like our ivy, with its body and limbs fnll of thorns just like our honey locust trees and the bush is as crooked as the waysof a Democratic politician The roots are enormous, being largely the source of fire wood for the people. The sage brush is small with a white sage like foliage from which it gets, its name. The laud, so far as grass andfcliiirbage is concerned is practically bare. It looks like it would take at least a thousand acres to pasture a sin gle cow and she would never get- fat at that. We cross the Pecos river, which flows into ihe Bio Grande and is one of its principa tributaries, on a trestle over 2,000 feet long and 321 feet high, this being the second highest trestle in the world. The head of this river must be not less than 500 miles above where we cross it, yet it is just about the size of Salem Creek where we cross it. The trouble be ing, so I am told, that its water has been taken out for irrigation way above this point. Where we reach the Bio Grande Biver itsure- Iy must be some 1500 miles from its source and yet at common water it is but little larger, if any, than Muddy Creek, the water being us ed up for irrigation. When we struck it it was very mnddy, there having been considerable rain in the last few days, and yet it was not much more than two or three times as large as Muddy Creek. Prom San Antonio to El Paso, a distance of several hundred miles the country is practically a waste. I would not live in it, in fact, I don’t believe I could, but I would not try it if I was offered a whoie county as a free gift to do so. Deniiug, New Mexico; was my destination, and I reached there on time and met my nephew whom * I came to visit. Deming is the county seat of Luna County and is a place of some 2500 people in the center of a vast plane so level that the water during a rain is at a loss which way to run, but it is one of the most public spirited places I ever saw. I will give two or three illustrations of this public spirit. They wanted to raise a fund to im prove their roads and in just a lit tle while they raised $5,000. A few days later they concluded to advertise the town in some paper and needed $5,000 more, this they raised in a few hours. They have a Chamber of Commerce which they run at a cost of §8,000 a year. They have two school buildings, a Graded school and a High School one of these just completed at a cost of $40,000 and so I might go on and enumerate many other in stances of pnblie spirit but this is enough. The farming here is on a basis entirely different from any other spot on the earth I suppose. The Mimtres river, which is about the size of Muddy Creek rises in the mountains some 75 miles above Deming and when it gets within a- bont 20 miles of Denting it disap pears aud is never beard of again. Thus a flood of water is poured in to the earth under Deuiing. Those who have the energy and push to do so siuk wells f.iom 50 to 300 feet deep, put in force pumy'-and run them by gasoline engines and puinp up from 500 to 2,000 gallous o/wa ter per minute and thus irrigate their lauds aud grow from $75 to $150 worth of beans, Alfalfa, etc. to the acre. The County Pair was just opeu- ing when I reached Deming. I went in to see some of the exhibits I saw as fine pumpkins, oats, wate- melons, potatoes, millet and the various products of the farm and' garden as can be found anywhere. But these gardens have to be pro tected from the Jack rabbits by poultry wire some two feet high or they will eat up the vegetables, I will close for this time. who have been lured to the under world . It is somewhat of a trial to the faith ol those who believe in the integrity of the race. The anchor of the soul to purity and honor seeinB to have broken 'its hold. But it only seems so. W e are on a wave of social degeneracy, but we must not mistake this wave for the depths of the sea beneath us. The froth and foam are all we can see but they are light and powerless. Let no man lose faith in his lellows because now and then one in whom he had confidence is dragged into the underworld. POr everyone who falls there are a thousand who are standing strong and true. But this is a good time for onr pastors to cry aloud and spare not. Our home life is threatened bnt it will not be sub merged. The Virginia jury who returned the verdict against Beattie sounded a note of 'Tiope to the world. They are sneered at by those of the underworld who hate virtue, but they will be honored by all men who love the right. The press has spoken out strongly on this matter. A righteous public sentiment has been aroused that is growing stronger day by day. Our boys and girls deserve our protec tion aud they will have it. The underworld must be kept under. —Charity and Children. What Ycu Can Do for Yourself. As we write there are on our desk two letters about cotton prices. One suggests that the Governors of the different Southern States is sue a proclamation asking the farmers to hold cotton for better prices, aud the merchants, bankers etc., to help the farmers to hold. It is also suggested that the Gov ernors call mass meetings Lodiscnss plans for increasing the price. The other letter is from Excel Farmers’ Union, No. 1343, of Ala bama. The members of this Union simply pledge themselves to hold as much cotton off the iuaiket as they possibly can, and ask other Unions and other farmers to do the same. In the difference between the spirit of these two plans ties the difference between success and fai lure in any effort. vThe little local Union in Alabama may not be able to have any effect on the cotton market, but the members of that Union who hold their cotton till the price advances will have done something for themselves. Southern farmers place altogeth er too much faith in speeches and meetings and big organizations, and too little in their own indiuidnal effort. We believe, of course, as big organizations as we can get but the point we wish to stress is that it isn’t necessary to wait for the big organization to do some thing. Keep your cotton at home It will mean better prices for you If your neighbors can all be in dnced to do the same, it will mean still better prices for all; but don’t think that you can’t help your self. The Alabama farmers show the way, follow their example, isn’t resolutions and speeches that are needed just now; it’-s business like action,_ and it’s np to you to act. In almost any tbwn you can borrow money if you need it, with the cotton itself as collateral. VV hatever others may do or not do hold your crop and get the increas ed price that is almost sure to be bad through holding.—Progressive Parmer. Worked the Preachers Through A Marrying Game.

A farmer can haul no heavier load to market than he can get over the worst place of road on his route, and this is one of the reasons why we think the townihip plan of voting bonds for road building will not briug,abont the desired result. For instance, Glayton townships, in Johnston county, has as good roads as you will find anywhere and the roads in and around Smith- fieid are in fairly good condition, but midway between the two towns is a township that has done nothing in the way of road building aud as a consequence there are a few miles of poor dirt roads between the two towns.—Durham HeraIdL Ifyouhaveyoung children you have perhaps noticed that disorders of the stomach are their most common ailment To correct this you will find Chamberlain’s Stomach and LiverTabIets excellent They are easy and pleasant to take, and mild and gentle in effect.

OFFICE— Second Story Angel Building, Main St. Entered at the Postoifice in Mocks- ville, N. C., as Second-class Mail matter, March 3.1903. TERMS OF SUBSCRIPTION: One Year, in Advance.........................50c Six Months, in Advance.......................25c WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 25. 1911 WHAT DO YOU THINK. It seems funny to hear two girls quar reling over a boy. Take it easy, ladies— there are enough boys in this town to go arovnd, and have a few !eft over which can be used to daub up fences with. A man in this town said you could take $3 from the poorest man in the county and he would not miss it. Any man who can find $3 about us and take it, shall have half of it for his trouble. There are two classes of folks we feel sorry for. One is the old maid and the other is the old bachelor. One is trying all the time to find a man—the other is trying all the time to keep out of the way of the women. A Pennsylvania legislator tried to pass a law permitting a mad subscriber to lick the editor on provocation. Every subscriber has that right now—if he can pull off the stunt. Whether it snow or whether it blow, seasons come and the seasons go; the crops get sick and the farmer blue, the storekeepers kick and the lawyers sue; the preachers preach and the sinners sin, and the cares beset the souls of men. But through it all the printer prints and stints; the winds may rave and the floods may roll, and droughts bake through from pole to pole, but the printer man he prints and prints, saves and saves and stints and stints. Happy, happy printer man; he does the very best he can—sticking type or twisting press, he trusts to luck and does his best. The following letter has been duly re ceived and contents noted: “Editor Re cord—Enclosed vou’U find stamps to pay up my subscription. Please stop the thing. It ain’t worth reading. I don't want to read a paper what ain’t a Demo crat paper an a Bryan paper. If you am a gettin’ rich off us poor folks I don’t no who is. If you deside to print a Demo crat paper I might sign for it,” And of such is life. - It is all right fora man to make friends with a mule, provided he keeps out of range of his business end. Many people marry in haste and then think it over. The Mocksville boys think it over first and then don’t marry. It is still time to think of anew hat. It costs nothing to think, so long as you think very quietly. __ How to Stop Cotton’s Drop. There is one simple way—a way as plain as the nose on a man’s face —to raise the price of cotton—stop marketing until the price advances. Tnen market slowly and conservative ly stopping sales again whenever the market shows signs of weakness. Cotton is low only be cause lots of cotton is being offered tor sale. The exporters end manufacturers are, of coiirfe delighted buyers. The pries is practically certain to go up wichin a few months; but it is not going up as long as plenty of cotton can be had at present prices. If you feel like taking a load of cotton to town—why, don’t you do it. Take the team and go to the fields and begin plowing or ditching. If vour negro tenant is in the notion of going to market, advance him five or ten dollars, take charge of his cotton and put him to chopping wood -er.digging out stumps. It will be money to-JiQth you and him.—Pro gressive FarnaexeJ Man. Man, that is born of a woman is a son-of-a-gun. He cometh forth with a mad love for riches, yea, as a hound pup loveth a hunk of liver. His early years are spent squandering his father’s earnings and bellyaching for things he does not. need. Yanity fiUeth his soul, and Mary Ann his heart. Sundays bring visions of Paradise and work days windgalls of displeasure. Day by day on the scroll of his face he writeth the analysis of his natuie Verily he straddlelh off into bad company, and his manhood is tainted with the evil deeds of his youth. He deviseth all manner • f devilment in his !lumbers, and Bleepeth with one eye open, watch ing, lest he stealeth his own breeches. In his early years he knoweth miica more than a judge, and his mind is a walking encyclo pedia of useful knowledge. He haudeth out great chunks of advise free of charge, remembering that it is more blessed to give than to receive.—Law’s Lash. Conference at Statesville.-' The Westeni North Carolina Confer ence of the Methodist church will meet in Statesville Nov. 8th. Fair Building Burned. The grand stand and the floral hall at the Mecklenburg fair grounds were burn ed Friday night, but the fair is being pull ed off this week just the same. LaFollette For President- Two hundred progressive Republicans met in Chicago last week and endorsed Robert M. LaFollette for President. Now watch the fun. Cotton Going Up. The price of cotton went up $2 per bale last week on the New Orleans market. In a few weeks the price will have gone up to 11 or 12 cents, or we are mistaken. Kicked By Horse? M. D. Brown, the liveryman, while feed ing his stock last Tuesday, was kicked on the leg by one of his horses and peinfully although not seriously hurt. Russell Still at Lai ge. Walter Russell, of Iredell county, who killed June Summers in Olin township about ten days ago, is still at large. He was last seen near Cooleemee. A reward of $50 is offered for his capture. George Hall Pardoned. George Hall, of Rowan, who was sen tenced to 15 years in the pen for lielpiug to lynch the slayers of the Lyerly family and who has served since 1908, has been pardoned by the Governor. Race War in West. Coweta, Okla., is in a st=>te of terror, as a race war is in progress there with two or three white men and one negro dead. The State militia is on the scene. Many New Buildings. Quite a number of new dwelling houses are being built in this city at the present time, which shows that our town is not standing still. The new flour mill and ginnery near the depot will be completed in the near future and put in operation. Attempt to Kill President An attempt was made last week by unknown parties to kill President Taft near Naples, Cali. Thirty six sticks of dynamite was placed on the railroad track to blow up the Taft special. A section foreman discovered the plot in time to prevent the accident. Old-Time Corn Shucking. An old-time corn shucking was given at the home of Mr. J. E. Shutt last Friday night, about fifty boys and girls being present. In the red ear contest Miss Lo la Ellis was the lucky one and won the ticket to the show, finding 29 red ears. After the corn was shucked the good tin e came, which was serving chicken pie and pumpkin pie. After supper the ladies were entertained by piano and violin mu sic, while the boys were enjoying the game of pulling Tige’s tail. C. C. March and W. L. Shutt seemed to be the best at that as the scratchers were not able to part them. CASEY. Big Birthday Dinner.. It was a great pleasure to the family connections and many friends of Mr. E. W. Lassiter to gather at his home on Oct. 15th and celebrate with him his 81st birthday. He is hale and hearty, and by the mercies of a kind Providence will see several mose annual celebrations. He has five children living, twenty-three grand children and six great-grand-children, all of whom were present, besides a host of other friends and neighbors to the num ber of iso, enjoyed- -his .hospitality and one of the best dinners spread on a long tabie under the old elms in the yard, that it has been this scribe’s privilege to en joy. It was a very pleasant occasion for all present, and we went away hoping that we ali may be privileged to attend just such another occasion next year. ONE PRESENT. C. M. Owen Dead. Mr, C, M. Owen, who was carried to the Winston hospital Thursday morning to undergo an operation for appendecitis died Friday night at 10 o'clock. The body was brought home and carried to Smith Grove, where it was laid to rest Sunday at 10 o'clock. Mr. Owen was 42 years of age, a good, honest man and a consistent member of the Baptist church. His pastor Rev. Walter Wilson, conducted the fune ral services. The'body was laid to rest with Junior Order honors. A wife and two children, a mother, three brothers and one sister survive, besides a host of rela tives and friends. Mr. Owen had only been sick about ten days, and his death was a severe shock to his loved ones and friends. A good citizen is gone. Every one who knew Charlie Owen liked him. No tetter'man lived in our midst. The Record extends to the bereaved ones its deepest sympathy, in this sad affliction, and points them to Him who doeth all things well, for comfort and solace.

Blood W as W rong All women, who suffer from the aches and pains, due to female ailments, are urged to try Cardui, the reliable, scientific, tonic remedy, for women. Cardui acts promptly, yet gently, and without bad effects, on the womanly system, relieving pain, building up strength, regulating the system, and toning up the nerves. During the past half century, I thousands of ladies have written to tell of the quick curative results they obtained, from the use of this well-known medicine.

May be you think Ive lost my religion and gone to cussing, but I ain’t. The above heading is simply the name of a merchant who lives in Brooklyn, New York or else the newspapers have lied. And you surely don’t think that a newspaper would be guilty of telling a lib. It is stated thatO. IIelland his father, old man Bill Hell, are about to open up a candy store inBrooklyn. And I understand that Mr. Hell has petitioned the court to chauge his name to Hill, as it never would do to tell the folks to go to Hell for their candy. Mrs. Jane Callehan suffered from womanly trouble for nearly ten years. In a letter from Whltevllle, N. C., she says: “I was not able to do my own housework. My stomach was weak, and my blood was wrong. I had back ache, and was very weak. I tried several doctors, but they did me no good.

Apples are covering the ground, there is no demand or sale, and old barrels are not obtainable. Disman tled mills of many years are being put in shape for the rush, and far mers are planning to care for the product for future vinegar making. It is said the apple crop in this territory is the best in twenty years, and that the old-time method of storing cider will be resorted to. “Cider is more valuable than wa ter in this rain belt,” said an orchar- dist today, “and we will use the cisterns.” It is fashionable, now-a days, for newspapers to give prizes for news papers to give prizes for aviation stunts.

Oh, my dear friends, you who are letting miserable misunder standings run oil from year to year; you who are keeping % wretched quarrels alive because you can not quite make up your mind that now is the day to sacrifice your pride and kill them; you who are passing them sullenly upon the street, not speaking to them out of some silly spite, and yet knowing that it would fill you with shame and re morse ifyou heard that one of those men were dead to-morrow morning, you who are letting your neighbor starve till you hear that he is dy ing of starvation; or letting your friend’s heart ache for a word of appreciation or sympathy, which yot mean to give some day—if you could know, and see, and feel all of a sndden that “the time is short,” how it would break the spell! How you would go instant ly and do the thing which yon I might never have another’s chance to do.—Philips Brooks. The Growler Growls. Stolen From Ironton News. Nobody ever got ahead by fol lowing the crowd. A woman never looks on the dark side—of a looking glass. A patriot is a man who success fully hooks his wife’s dress. A coward is a man who remains siugle to avoid it. Borne of the good,die young and others go in for aviation. Every drummer is expected to carry a. line of soft soap as a side line. Taxes and death may be certain, but people are still dodging them some. When the world is as bad as some of us think it is, or as good as others of us think it ought to be. it will come to an end!
