I S S U E M I S S I N G ®he “HERE SHAIX THE PRESS, THE PEOPLE’S RIGHTS MAINTAIN; UNAWED BY INFLUENCE AND UNBRIBED BY GAIN.” VOLUMN XIII.MOCKSVILLE. NORTH CAROLINA. WEDNESDAY. NOVEMBER 8, 1911 NUMBER18 Concerning Dress Suits. Statesville Landmark. Some of the young sports about town, who know all about the cor rect thing in clothes—the latest shade and shape of hats, ties, shoes etc.— but who know nothing a- bout newspaper work, think the account of a marriage in a recent issue of'The Landmark was marred by the statement that the “gentle men attendants were in full dress.” They say that should have been assumed. It could have been, of course, and so could the fact that the church w as decorated, that the bride wore a veil, that the bride and bridesmaids carried bouquets, that the wedding march was play ed, etc., have been assumed. These things ordinarily appear in achurch wedding but they must be men tioned as a part of the story. All church weddings are much alike but if they were not written up in detail the parties interested wrould be much disappointed. The sports of course want it to appear that “ full dress” is a common occur ence in Statesville. Tbe Landmark has a habit of telling the truth and it is a fact that full dress at wed dings and social functions in States ville, until very recent years, was the exception rather than the rule, just as it is in other towns of this size; and by no means does the “full dress” appear at all the church weddings and social func tions even now, Hence it is just as much news to mention the full dress until it becomes the rule at all functions as it is to mention any other detail of dress. Because on occasion some of the sports rent dress suits and shine in them doesn’t mean that the dress suit is as common as other clothes. The Landmark deesn’t usually notice criticisms of this character, but this is mentioned to show some of the sports that they don’t know as much as they think they do and also to show them that The Land mark hasn’t lost its capacity for plain speech. Thank goodness, there are but few “ful' dresses” in Mocksyille. In our sojourn of over four years in this burg we haven’t met with or saw an -‘evening dress suit.” The town gets along nicely with out them, so far as we have been able to discover. Ed .] Mr. Duncan’s Idea of Cotton Prices. Once again let us say to our cot ton growers: Don’t get stampeded. Dou’t sell your cotton. Borrow money if you must, but hold to it. We are about willing to risk the prediction that cotton will be twelve cents in six months. “I have traveled pretty well over the Cotton Belt,” said Mr. George Duncan, of Alabama, in The Progressive Farmer office a day or two ago, “and I am con vinced that the greatest misappre hension exists as to the size of the crop. The crop matured early anyhow, and in many sections the array worm stripped the leaves and has caused the entire crop to open ' 'earlier than it would otherwise have done. It’s this remarkably early opening and the consequently equally early ginning—the enorm ous ginning receipts—that are giving the impression of a bumper crop. A little later the real facts will beeomd known and prices will go bounding back. The trouble is the farmers are stampded.” Mr. Duncan believes cotton will go to fourteen cents, but all The Progressive Farmer predicts is ,twelve. We don’t guarantee it, Lutwe believe it. In any case, ^jold on to your cotton. Nine cent prices are absurd. \ the boy's appetite is often the source if amazement. If you would have such '-'.•an appetite take Chamberlain's Tablets.

New York:—Convinced that the pendulum of business is ready to swiDg back to good times, repre sentatives of the great manufactur ing enterprises of the country with headquarters in' this city, have or dered the wheels of industry, silent now for mauy months, to again hum with the song ot work. A ca u vas of the situation at home and abroad, they say shows that conditions are steadily improving and that all business, both big and little, has reached the end of the period of depression, which made necessary the heavy retrenchments in expenses and curtailment of pro duction that marked to spring and summer iuohths. Failures are • steadily declining in number aud aggregate losses in all sections of the country and a !inner tone is noticable every where. In New England, sixty mills giving emuloj rnent to more than 100.000 men and women, which have been shut down from two to ten weeks, resumed operation on full time on Monday and the bal ance of those that have been idle, have arranged to start the first of the coming week From the South and the West the news is equally cheery. In the former twenty mills have taken hold again and in the latter 35 large manufacturing plants which have been closed or operating od a minimum basis, en couraged by the signal improve ment in new orders, are cnee more in full swing. President William M. Wood of the American Woolen Company, which controls thirty mills in New England and New York, having 30.000 employees, who are now working ou full time, says that the outlook is for a permanent and long continued change for the better. In support of this conviction, in which all manufacturers here now generally share, the Greenwood- Cotton Duck mills at New Hart ford, Barkhampstead and Canton, Conn., which have been closed for ten years have been re-opened and giving work to 2,000 operatives, with the promise that the force will be substantially increased in a few weeks. At North Bio >kfield, Mass., the Oxford Linan Mills which have orders in hand to keep them going at their maximum efficiency until well into the winter intend to double their force, with the in stallation on January 1st, of new machinery ordered recently to en able them to supply the demand for American made linen goods. With the general revival in trade which these signs augar, business is looking forward to a year of in creased acttivity and nation wide prosperity in which every industry and every community will get its proportionate share. Co incident with this, a marked lowering of the cost of living, especially in the everyday staples of life, is pre dicted. . - land. They were delivered at Co vent Garden within thirteen days after their dispatch, which it is said constitutes a record in the way of quick forwarding of American fruit to Europe. Several hundred cases were sold immediately upon arrival. The fruit was large, well colored and of the free-stone va riety. It was splendidly packed and arrived in excellent condition. This is the first time, it is stated, that American peaches have been placed on the London market, al though peaches have been import ed from Ontario, Canada. Con sidering that the best peaches on the English market are selling re tail at 48 cents each and that En glish hot house peaches lack the flavor of American peaches grown outdoors, it would appear that a real demand should exist in the United Kingdom for the best va rieties of American peaches.” If peaches can be profitably ship ped from the Pacific coast and ex ported to England, certainly they can be shipped for export from Aberdeen, Southern Pines aud other points in the peach belt of North Carolina. When the indus try has assumed greater proportions as it is very rapidly doing, this matter i9 one that might be inves tigated with profit by the peach growers of this State.—Charlotte Chronicle. Exporting Fruit. North Carolina, with thousands of acres of the best fruit and berry lands in the world and a very rapid development just ahead in fruit growing, is naturally interest ed in the market for fruits. Many apples are annually exported fi&m this country to England and Europe already and there is a strong de mand at good prices for this fruit. Western North Carolina.cau grow the best apples in the world-. No better truck can be grown anywhere than eastern Carolina, and the ex perience of peach growers .in the sandhill region of the State during the past few years shows that the peaches grown there are vastly su perior to the much boasted Georgia peaches, selling habitually for much higher prices on the same fruit stands iu New York and other cities. Here also plums, grapes and berries grow to perfection. In the light of the promise of great developments in fruit growing in North Carolina a recentconsular report from London is of peculiar interest. The report follows: “A consignment of 2,OOOcases of peaches from the Stale of Washing ton has be“n received in London. They were packed in ice cars at tached to the mail train and sent from the Wenatchee Valley in the State of Washington to New York and shipped from that port to Eng North Carolina Leads. Washington, D. C., October, 30,— The Land and Industrial Department of the Southern Railway and the Mobile and Ohio Railroad has just issued its annual textile directory, which points out in a conclusive man ner the growing importance of this industry in the South. The booklet shows a grand total of 778 textile mills with 192,882 looms and 8,550,- 142 spindles in oporation in the terri tory served by the system January I, with seven mills in course of con struction.

I THE YOUTH'S COMPANION, 144 Berkeley St., Boston, Mass, A Sweet Singer' iJ Wake County Jail. Statesville Landmark. A Raleigh correspondent, writ ing of the fine vocal music to be heard iu Wake county jail, says: “The finest music ol all, accord ing to those who hear it, is that rendered by Lonnie Chamblee, a white man, awaiting trial for steal ing a mule. He has been in the prison for several weeks and has had time to remember those songs that were taught him by his moth er. Though his body is cramped in a cell, his spirit seeuis as free as a bird. At almost any hour ofthe night Lonnie may be heard sing ing. A large, strong man physi cally, he has a powerful mellow base voice. He sings the hymns and tunes of long ago. “Where is my wandering boy tonight?” is the favorite of this fellow, who faces a possible road seuteuce for stealing a mule.” It’s unfortunate for this singing mule thief that Judge Anderson Mitchell, late of the county of Ire dell, isn’t alive and on the Super ior Court bench. Ifhe was and could hold the next term of Wake court the Wake vocalist would probably be given his freedom, es pecially if the request was presen ted to Judge Mitchell soon after he had taken his morning dram and was feeling good. It will be re called that Judge Mitchell was on one occasion so moved by a ‘pome’ indited by an Alexander citizen who had unfortunately been placed in durance vile that he at once or dered the prisoner’s release. But there is vet- hope for the Wake man. If he can get his case before Judge Oliver Allen and will sing a few moving songs in the judge’s hearing, JudgeAilen would doubtless hold that so sweet a singer cannot be a criminal and would discharge him. Judge Al len’s feelings wouldn’t be influen ced by a dram, but by his hobby that there’s good in everybody. How Catawba Folks Feel About Drainage. Newton Nev/s. Rev. Waltor W. Rowe was out sigbt-seeing along Clark’s creek bottoms and says that the crops in the recently drained lands are wonderfully fine. He was inform- ed that the people who at first kicked about the draiuage tax are now kicking because they do not know what to do with, the corn and cane they have raised this year— that they have long since forgotten about the $5 an acre levied for the work and are wondering what they will do with the generous returns the fertile bottoms have made. Cursed God and Has Been Help less Ever Since. Mr. Henry Sherrill, of the Iron Station community, while on a visit to relatives here last week, told an interesting story concern ing one of his neighbors, Abe Hes ter, a man of 50 years and well-to- do farmer. He said that in June Hester, who had evidently worried about the drought and the loss of crops until he become unbalanced —although up to the moment he appeared s-ane enough—got- in his yard one day and cured the Al mighty to all the variations of pro fanity he could muster, because no rain fell to relieve crops. Follow ing this, says Mr. Sherrill, he got out his shotgun and discharged it three times iu the air as a token of his feelings toward Deity. AU at once he collapsed, and irom that day to this has lain helpless on his bed, unable to move or speak, re cognizing no one. Physicians called in found him completely paralyzed.—Hickory Democrat.

Ye OIae Tytae Cora SIiackiBg. Statesville Landmark. Major Bob Pliiiiipsr of the Greens boro News, who knows the customs, of the rural peoples in the old days as few know them, was kind enough to copy and commend The Land mark’s story of an old-fashioned corn shucking, and he adds by way of comment: He [The Landmark editor] is right as far as he gees. There were no vioiins then, and no piano was opened at corn shucking time. There were fiddles and fiddlers who could fiddle. And the old sheepskin-head ed banjo with catgut strings, in the hahds of a plantation negro "some class” at a corn shucking— after the shucks were '‘penned” ar.d supper was over. You remember that, judge, of course, but didn t think it necassai-y to mention it. And the occasional quitting party in connection with the shucking, ar ranged so as to bring the neighbor hood giris together, as well as the young men. Maiy commonplace things will pass out of mind aiiead of the memory of the old-fashioned quilting party. How glad a fellow was to start out at 2:30 a. m., to walk with a charming country lass to her home three miles away and to help her to cross the crc ex on Is it advisable, these reminiscen- frosty feet-log. judge, to pursue ces further? There are some things, major, that it is best not mention to this younger generation who know noth ing of the good old days in the rural districts, and therefore cannot ap preciate them. So you do well to draw the veil at the creek and the frosty foot-log. But speaking of the corn shucking, major, leaving out the banjo was an oversight vve’v regretted ever since the article ap peared. The banjo of course second only to the fiddle; and then there were those who could dance in time with the rythm of the hand- clapping and the patting of the foot. Another dance was called “jumping the broomstick;” that is, one held by the handle an old-fashioned scrub broom, and dancing on one side a- while jumped over the handle and danced on the other, keeping perfect time in the motion. You remember It all, major, and more. Would it be possible to get a tew of the old boys together at a corn pile and re enact in a way the scenes of other days? [Where could the contents to fill the jug with the corn-cob stopper be secured? Davie could furnish the fiddles and the fiddlers.

Cotton picking is about a thing of the past for the present season. Many, of the leaves are stripped from the arm y worm,' or a worm that resembles it. Before' the •ate war there was a similar worm here that went through fields in armies and ato everything as they went; when they got through a fieia they went on some where and that was the end of them. This year they seem to be making co coons to save themselves over winter.

C ibiical Matter. ell known fact by all the t living upon every conti- i the bosom of the globe who - irfad the writings of the ancient ..phots which are recorded within u ie lid s o f th e testaments, and es- peciaily those from the prophet Isa iah, who predicted that a child would be born, and that the government would rest upon his shoulders, and that his name would be called Won derful, Counseller, the Almighty God, the everlasting Father, the Prince of Peace, King Emmanuel- great names, all referring to the Son of God, who professed Humanity and Supremacy, which no other be- 'ng ever did, and it was so decreed ’jy God himself that the Virgin’s bhild to whom Isaiah had reference, should be put to death to save Adam’s posterity, which was in a helpless condition, brought on by Adam’s disobedience, and nothing less than the penalty of a disgrace ful death should occur upon the pur est child ever born of a virgin, and which caused many daughters of Jerusolem to weep. It was that lovely child that saved the Hebrew children, who were thrown in the furnace of fire from being burned, and it was the same lovely child that rescued Daniel from the mouths of the lions in a manner that they did not hurt him. It was the same be ing that caused the apostle Paul to h e the greatest of ai! the apostles. ■ Yea, all power in heaven and upon earth have been given to the virgin’s Son. He tells you but few are saved. He tells you to be good to your enemies, and to love your neighbors, and you should render your prayers to Him who reigns eternally in the heavens. He tells you to live a right eous life, and to abstain from all ap pearance of evil, so that when you appear before Him during that dreadful day, a day set apart when all the kindreds, the nations and all who have ever lived upon this earth shall meet Him, who was despised and rejected by the Jewish tribes, then a righteous judgment rendered by Him, in whom all power is vested and from which there can be no ap peal, because his court will be the greatest of all courts. ■I.

It appears that osieafternoon she informed the young man that the nest day would be her birthday, whereupon the suitor remarked that he would the next morning send her some roses, one rose for each year. That night he wrote a note to his florist, ordering the delivery of 20 roses to the young woman. The Ilorist- himself filled the order, and thinking to improve on it, said (o his clerk: “Here is an order from young Jones for 20 rosas. He’s one of my best customers, so I’ll throw in ] O more for good measure.” If people could eat- cotton the Democrats would have fulfilled their promise to reduce the cost of living.—Albemarle Chronicle.

To my m ind there is one issue which trans cends in importance to to the peo ple of Massachusetts all the other issues combined aud that is the tariff issue. Whether the people of JIassaehnsetts will approve the C D tandsIash policy ot tar if 2' revi sion as applied to her industries by the Democrats in Cougressij or tbe safe and sane method proposed bv President Taft is the main (fjies- tiou to be determined at the polls o» JTov. 7. For myself, I have no question as to what the verdict of the people of Massachusetts sliou’M be on this question. This is not a uew departue tor me. “A few yeais ago, when running for Gov ernor, I stated repeatedly that in nry judgment the proper basis of protection to rn industry was the- difference between the cost ot labor at- home and abroad, and this dif~- ference to be left to competent ex - ports to determine.

Dodnt the oddest and most hw.orous, transposition of types i»t ever came to mjr observation was that, in a New York paper some years ago. “The paper used to print its Good Advice.

When company is 'expected the premises are well kept and attrac tive. This rule holds good in the commercial world as well as in so cial circles. Pew people like to go where they aie not invited.

A man said the other day that he was not particularly religious, much to his shame, but that when he did go to church, he had to sit just behiud some miniature liower garden, a beehive, or a bird’s nest, perched on some lady’s head which simply would not be allowed by the manager of any theatre or opera house in any town, large or small. Then there arose a dis cussion as to why a lady, attend ing upon the services of the church, serene and happy over her jseligion, beaming in good will to ward every one, should make ,iihurch a gymnasium in which the o®e who sat just behind her bad Cl? go through a neck contortion to see and thus enjoy tbe services. 'Xhis paper does not believe that women go there to display their be siutiful hats, and incidentally to 6ee how becomingly another has attired helself in like head gear, but it does puzzle the men folks to see Iiow williDgly they remove their hats when in Sn opera house, and yet look upou a minister, or any other man who dares suggest its removal, as a boor or a back woods-inan.—Ansonian.

'HERE SHALL THE PRESS, THE PEOPLE’S RIGHTS MAINTAIN; UNAWED BY INFLUENCE AND UNBRIBED BY GAIN.” ,VOLUMN XIII.M0CKSV1LLE. NORTH CAROLINA. WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 15, 1911 NUMBER 19 Unde Tobey’s Lecture. Uncle Tobey, in Home and Farm. November brings to us the clos ing (JajS of the year’s harvest. Theiardestpartof the farmer’B work has been done. The greater part of the crops have been gath ered. We can now ’figure with some certainty on the profits, if there are any. A-Ithoagh business is still brisk on the farm, the eve nings are long and a fire 'feela com fortable. Bythetimethisreaches the readers of Home and Farm there will be “frost upon the pump-: kin'and fodder in the .shock” in most sections of the country. The air .'is cool and bracing, and in the early morning the ears ol corn break easily from the stalk. Eor those who have passed into that stage of life when they begin to consider things seriously, au tumn is the favorite season. Spring with its glad^ jsuashine, its blue skies, itajlowers and green foilage is the season for the young. It is pregnant with joy of release from the icy blaep of winter; with Bong of birds^arid with hopeB of what ,AtirtHature may bring. Oh, spring! Bright, joyful spring! Poets have - sung thy praises ever .since the world was. But .autumn is the consummation of onr happiness, the realization of our hopes. It is -.then that we enjoy the fruitB Of our toil. It is then-that we enjoy the fruits of our toil. It is then 1 that we can battle with the ob stacles which wehave to overcome .lor life, even a farmer’s life, is a Constant struggle. Autumn and the harvest is here. Thei larse granary, now filled to overflowing with ears of corn- was bat a few months ago a few bush- ‘els of kernels or single grains. What brought this mighty trans- formation? Whence the thousand fold increase? Iutelligent thought and labor, working in harmony the laws of nature. The evo- lntiotfcof a grain of corn. What a wonderful theme! What a won derful tifceme! W hata wonderful field for exploration! Autumn! The harvest is garnered, or lies within our grasp. The frnits of our toil lie before us. The time has come for us to enjoy them. They will bring for us the necessi ties and comfosts of life. They bring joy to the children. The golden ears of corn are filling the cribs. The fleecy white cotton is being picked and hauled to the gin. Theappleshavebeengather ed and assorted, and the cider mill is at work saving what is good and useful of the • ‘culls.” ITot one of the cider mills which our grand fathers nsed, with ite great beam and wooden screw, but a much smaller and up-to-date machine which would make as much cider in one hour as the old-fashioned one would in ten hours. But the harvest! The whole world depends upon the harvest; lor the farmer feeds the world. Oh, master of the world’s progress and uncrowned king of its destiny! The harvest is yours, and at thy feet the na tions of the earth can be made to kneel and take a ,,‘‘hand-out” from thy bountiful hand. The harvest is heJ%; let us take an inventory of it and the labcr that produced it. Let us review the experience of the past season. Have we made any experiments! If so, with wbat results? Have we worked intelli gently as well as laboriously? Do . we realize that farming is a science ~ subject to laws that are immut able? Happy iB the farmer who knows this. Ko small part of the harvest is the knowledge which the farmer has gained by the last season’s experience. Every intelli gent farmer studies - the result of bis labor. He sums up the labor . and expense of the season, and puts it in one eolumn of his ledger and in another he puts down the harvest—the result. Itis well if after-deducting interest on capital invested, taxes, wear on tools, ex pense for labor, and fair wages for himself and good wife, he has any thing left. This is the manner in which accounts are kept with all other kinds of business. If the re sult is not favorable to the farmer, in keeping account of this kind, there is someching wrong with the harvest or in the disposal of it. But let us not be .discouraged; the mistakes of the past are the guide posts of the future.. Autumn is here; we have the glorious harvest. The frost has not hurt the pump kin, and the todder is safe in the shock! The big red apples are sorted away to be brough fourth in the bleak days of winter to scare away the blues. The cotton and the surplus wheat and corn will buy warm elcthes for the children, and send the older ones off to high Bchool or to college. It is all the harvest, the glorious harvest. Let us be thankful that Mother Earth has yielded up to us her bounteous stores. Let us decide today to go into partnership with nature and study her beneficial laws. !Nature is a generous part ner; she works with us through the summer’s broillings heat, wat ers the thirsty earth, gladdens our hearts with its sunshine and de mands of us no toll. Let us clasp her generous hand; let us bow our ear to her teachings; let us listen to her admonitions. Tne harvest, the glorious harvest, lies at our feet. In our rejoicing let u s not forget the poor and the unfortu nate. It is. more pleasure to give than'to receive, and God loves a cheerful giver. We are booking backward now; soon we must turn our laces forward, for life is one eternal ronud. of reasons. Yester day we toiled; today we banqueted, and tomorrow we must toil again. Booner or later for us the last har vest will come. Our lives are Iiut a short space of another year. In these passing; years what are we planting than may be garnered in the final harvest when old Father Time comes with his scythe to cut us down? A re we planting seed upon good ground that it may grow and flourish and make the world better for our having lived in it? Or are we sowing tares that may choke the good seed that others have-sownt Let it be onr endeavor to make that last harvest the most glorious one oi all, and, although the banquet table may not be spread until after we have crossed over into the Great Beyond, may those we leave behind enjoy the fruits of our toil and erect in their heartB and the hearts of their chit dren a glorious monument,vto our memory. Free School Boot/ State E. H. Morris, in Union Republican. Mr. Edito?: A Bepublican who desires to be heard, on any public question in North Carolina has either to seek the columns of the Democratic daily press,- or ask space in The Union Republican, if he desires to be heard outside his o^n immediate bailiwick, I re cognize the fact that you are not responisbleior the views of your correspondents and with yobr leave I will give my views on this ques tion of free school books, a question which has been before our people for two past campaigns; for the Republican State Convention of 1908 and 1910, made free school books a plank in its platfrom will not be inble in one article to give all my views or supply all the d ata necessary to an intelligent discussion of this question. In the first place, I shall contend and try to prove that the free school book proposition is ua-Kepublican and Democratlc ane secondly is a longstep toward Socialism, and which if adopted commits ' our party to a Socialistic principle which opens the flood-gates to all the other freeisms that threaten the destruction of this !Republic. Just here I wish to quote a few linesfromthepoet— “111 fares the land, to hasteuing ills a prey, Where wealth accumulates, and men decay. Princes and Lords may flourish, or may fade, A breath can make them, as a breath has made. But a bold peasantry, their coun try’s pride, When once destroyed, can never be supplied.” Now Mr. Editor, the great com mon people, (the very Cone and sinew of this Republic) are farmers and laborers, and constitute the great majority of our population. They are not beggars and alms seekers, but workers and producers of all the wealth and they have in telligence enough to know that any system of free books, old age pensions increased taxes, means adding to the burdens of the labor ers and wealth producers and further, it means the multiplication and tremendous increase of the idlers and drones, the leaches, who live upon the producers. I want right here to refer you to a bill in troduced In the IaBt Congress by Mr. Berger, of Wisconsin, the only Socialist member—it is called the old age pension and its provisions are as follows: “ Every person in the United States, 60 years old or older, who has been a citizen 16 years, who has an income of less than $6.00 a week, and who has dot been convicted of a felony, would be put on the pension roll of the United States, with a pen sion of from $1.00 to 14.00 a week. ” To find out how much this pension would cost, only requires the work of a few thousand government em ployees, examining into the mil lions of applications that would1 be filed as soon as the act became a law. I am one of those !Republi cans who believe that to a great degree the least governed people are the best governed. Some one has said that evennow “there is a tendency to fall into mawkish charity” and “charity is not and never can be the final solution of any difficulty,” The great masses of oua people are workers and pro ducers of our wealth and th«y desire above all things to be. un trammelled with laws directing them to do or not to do certain things which they can best and more cheaply do for themselves, Take from the average farlner and wage worker that confidence in his own Btrong arm, his self-reliance, his dependence on self to win a living for himself and family, and you weaken and destroy his am bition, you make of him a slavish dependent, a drone, a !each, a camp follower and a serf-depending and looking to the rich for more and greater favors. England, it is said, had to destroy the Welch musicians who kept alive the spirit of freedom by the playing of their martial and patriotic airs. Let’s not destroy the bone and sinew of our great Bepubiic by creating a race of dependents, for like “a bold peasantry.: their country’s pride, when once destroyed can never be supplied.” . ThisarticIeisnow long enough and with a promise to look up some figures to show the cost of these “free blessings,” which paralyze and destroy, which cramp and dwarf the ambition and lulls to sleep the laudable and glorious as pirations of every free, brave and liberty loving American citizen. We have free schools instead of free school books, free clothes and free grub which will follow. Let’s' have better schools and cheaper books, and quit changing books so often. We as Republicans in this day’s isms and progressiveness need to get back to first principles if we are to save our party in 1912 from the breakers aheadj-not only tjie party but pf our great country; About Low Prices. We find that many everywhere are becoming very dissatisfied with af fairs as they exist. at the present in State and Nation. The party to whidh they have clung for years is still on the down haul and in every attempt it makes at any proposition it ends in utter failure, to the great dismay and sorrow of its advocates, but always a great financial aid to the authorities in power. It seems that_if there was ever a time in an cient days when kings and -priests usurped authority, exacted tribute from their subjects and brought the people under constant fright, and fear of destitution, there is a period similiar distress under every Demo cratic rule. And very much to the regret of all fair thinking people, we- see nothing else in sight but another such !period,' if the !Democrats remain in power. Of course there are great numbers of fair-minded and well-read Demo crats in every section who are, be ginning t(j see the situation as- it really is, and who will act according to their conscience. IJut we have another class everywhere who sit at the cross-roads store fronts and other public places and endeavor to keep the minds of the illiterate and unin formed stirred up and prejudiced toward their party. They claim that over production is the reason for the low prices in cotton and a good many othe.; equally fallacious arguments, of course there is policy in war; and these little fellows must toe the mark and be ready to hand out such goods as are sent down to them by. the “big fellows.” They know if they don’t do all they can do to pro mote, Democratic wickedness that they will get no-pie next campaign. But in regard to the cotton situa tion everybody knows that under Republican rule prices were -high whether the crops were larger or smaller. This year the cotton crop- is not large, but as soon as the De mocrats gained Congress prices fell, right-down untill now it is very lit tle better than half of what it was last year. The reason for all this is the Democratic inability to guide the affaiijs of the Government. There are plenty of, other ividenees of their inability. Here in north CaroIina they cant even carry out the laws as they are on the statutes. There never was a law so universally ignored as the late prohibition law. Liquor is being sold in every part of this State, and instead of checking it it is becoming more common all the while. Taking everything in con sideration, the State is in a worse plight now th«n it was before the law was passed. Grime is on the in crease all over the State, which is either lack of power to carry out the lawpr the failure of doing their duty in punishing the guilty. There are very near as many pardons from prison as there are convictions, and crime is increasing all the while. But notice when you will, when a people have to work hard and receive small prices for their 'produce, and the power on the throne exacts high and exhorbitant taxes as they are doing now, and will continue to do as long as the Democrats are in power, crime will ' invaribly increase, and that is a deplorable condition for any State to be in. With the present condition of af fairs existing it is beginning to look like one of two things are to be done one is that Billie J. will have to post pone his election nntil 1916, or the other is, we will continue on this downward course until eventually we will find the horrible scenes of the days of Cleveland reached. May many people be awakened to a sense of their duty and come and put an end to such when the proper time rolls: around.—C. G. Carawan, Mesic N. C. in Raleigh Caucasian.

Wenow moved on I H L U A V IEi into the under-ground railroad and came up near the heart of tlie city backing up to the Union station St. Louis, which I will not attempt to describe, but only wish every person in the U. S., could visit it and see for themselves. Here I spent two hours elbowing my way through the rushing mass of seemingly mad peo ple. At 9:10 p. m., I boarded the Burlirsgtoh Limited for Kansas City. I soon went to sleep, and next morn ing when I awoke it being jusc good light, I found I was hearing Kansas City. At 7:00 a. m., we reached Kansas City which is almost a fair sample of St Louis. Here I spent another hour and a half elbowing the mass of mixed nationalities. At S o'clock I left Kansas City on south bound Santa Fe passenger train, for Ottawa. Iarriedhere at 11:80 Thursday morning, but I was almost persuaded to go on south and not stop here on account of the weather. When I left Statesville, it was a warm sunny Autumnal day. Couldn’t hardly wear a coat. I land ed here to find mercury hanging at twelye above zero, and when I awoke this morning I peeped out of my window only to see two inches of snow on the ground and still falling. Now ‘ Mr. .Tar Heel” if you don’t believe a change like that will cut— why alright. I sit in doors bakeing by the combustion of old natural gas.

THE ELECTIONS UST WEEK. The elections held Tuesday in many states and cities throughout the country show varying results. InMasaachusetts Gov. Foss, Democrat, w as re-elected by a reduced plurality. The first report show ed marked gains for Louis 'P. F rothingham , Republican, w hich were, how erver, gradually reduced. In Kentucky the voters took the state from the Republican column, where it landed four years ago by 7,000 votes, to the Democratic side by majorities ranging from 25,000 to 49,909. James 3. McCreary will be the next governor. In Khode Island early returns indicated the re-election of Gov. Pothier, Republi can, over Louis A. Waterman, Democrat, by an increased majority. New York state elected a Republican assembly, thus depriving Gov. Dix1 Demo-' crat, of the support'he has hitherto had from the , legislature, which has been Democratic in both branches. The pres ent New York assembly has a Democratic majority of 24, while the newly elected assembly will have a Republican majority of 37. New Jersey elected a Republican legis lature. The Republicans will control both branches of the legislature. Glouchester county, doubtful in the early returns elected a Republican senator, and this will make the senate stand 11 Republicans and 10 Democrats.. The assembly will consist of approximately 38 Republicans and 22 Democrats. Baltimore, Nov. 8.—With complete un official returns from practically the entire state heard from the election of, Philip Lee Goldsborough, Republican candidate for governor, over Arthur Pue Gorman Democrat, is established. His estimated plurality is 2,500. Both houses of the leg islature are Democratic. The first election in New Mexico is still in doubt, both the Kepubiictins and Demo crats claiming the election of governor. The indications point to a Republican Ieg- sJature, which will elect two Republican UnitedStates senators. Boston, Nov. 7.—Complete returns in the gubernatoral election today, give Foss, Democrat, 210,622 and FrotMngham, Re publican, 202,888, making the Foss plur ality 7,734. New York, Nov. 7.—Retumstomidnight indicate the Republicans gained 37 seats in the assembly, giving them a majority of 50. The Socialists have one seat Sacramento, Ca!., Nov. 7.—The indica tions are that Beard, Democrat, ~w&3 re elected mayor over Stuart, Socialist, and SutifT1 Republican. Jackson, Miss., Nov. 7.—The entire Democratic, state ticket was elected today. The strength shown by the Socialist can didates was the extraordinary incident. In the presidential election or 1908 the Socialist vote was 978; in the- 19S0 con gressional election it was 1,500; today James T. Lester, candidate for Ueotsaant governor in opposition to Theodore Biibo, Democrat, if the ratio shown by the meagre figures at hand at midnight is maintained, will have an excess of 6,000 ^Boston, Nov. 7.—Luce, Republican, has a ^plurality of 5,750 for lieutenant governor over Walsh, Democrat. I A Trip. to.. Ottawa Kansas. f Tuesday morning Oct. 31st, at 10:20 ai m., I boarded train No. 11 at Statesville, N. C., for Ottawa, Kan sas. Everything was going good until late in the evening we had a little wreck. The steam chest and a plug blew out covering the engineer and fireman with steam. The fire man thought the engine had fallen through a bridge which they were crossing, so he jumped for his life and was badly injured. His right leg was broken in two places and was bruised shamefully. Securing two other engines from Old. Fort, which was near by, we resumed our journey though two hours late. We run in Asheville for dinner, though nearly night. From there we niade good time to Knoxville, Tenn. . Here was my first change. I now boa'i ded the St. Louis Speciial for St. Louis. This was about 10:30 p. m„ and arrived in Louisville, Ky., at 8 o' clock next morning. After doing a little shifting tiiere we headed west ward and steamed slowly over the Ohio river. In the evening at 5:40 we ran into East St Louis. Our train stopped 15 minutes on the bridge over the Mississippi. This was quite a grand thing to beho.d to be there on a bridge with trains and street cars passing under you, over you and on either side with the silvery Mississippi a few hundred feet below meandering slowly to- fctj *1^ ifciji ^ 8 ^ *1**8*nft*kLt kla itanatji cJta f EVERYTHING IN HARDWARE f Superior and Bickford and Huffman f J Grain Drills*. ; ~ .

Last night Mr. Edwards of Bla den county passed down the Sea board for his home. accompau;ed by a brand new bride. Mr. Edwards was lonely and the home girls were a little shy on the matrimonial question just' at the time and he couldn’t wait for a re curring wave of interest. Therefore having heard that advertising pays, Mr. Edwards advertised. The result was that they met in Hamlet Wednesday, she coming from ber northern home where the boys were intent with the moment ous baseball problem and too busy to marry. They recognized each other not as Daniel wasdistingutsh- ed from the lion—by the blue cot ton umbrella under his arm—but the strip of blue ribbon that each one wore over their manly and womanly heart. The proposition was that if upon inspection each could say to the other “you’ll do,” the kaot would be tied. The 'you’ll do,” rang out in joyful accents from either side at the same psych ological moment and they rushed to Boekinghain where license was procured and the knot tied after the latest approved style. If Col. Dockery has by any manner of means Overlooked this important event, we charge him nothing for the information we are handing c»ut, In the name of and for the sake of the business of advertising as well as for a kindly feeling we wish for this brave coiiple who passed Maxton during the hour when our mosquitoes were singing their best joy, lasting joy, of the most ex quisite variety, Amen!—Maxton Scottish Chief A SeveDth-day Adventist antori- ty says the end of the world will fol low the Tuco- Italian war.

Charity and Children truly says ‘‘a layman’s fall excites little com- inent,” whereas the papers put a preacher’s lapse on t he front page and in bold type because it is news.” This statement was print ed in that paper before the arrest of t he Boston preacher. It is the big piece of news of the day be cause it is rare. Among the many thousand preachers of the world, Lt is very seldom that one of them commits a crime or proves unwor thy of his high office. When he does, naturally and properly the people and the press demand that he be unfrocked and punished for he not only is a criminal, but a hypocrite. There are those who seem to re joice when a minister or a man who has been regarded, as a religious ieader yields to temptation, and falls into sin. Preachers and.church members are human. They do not pretend to be free from the temp tations that assail dll men and they recognize their frailty in their dai Iy prayer, “Lead us not into temp tation.” The old saying, “like priest like people,” is not always true, becanse in America the re iigious leaders in their, private lives are so much cleaner and pur er than the people about *hem, as to set an example far better than was ever set before in the history of the world. The lapse of the Boston preacher does not disprove his truth nor does it effect Christianity. It mere ly shows that today, as in the days of Christ, there could be a Judas among the- men in holy orders. The fact that such incidents are so rare speaks trumpet- tongued for the purity and uprightness of the Chris- tiah church of America. A Father’s Vengeance would have fallen on any one who at tacked the son of PeCer Bondy, of South Rockwotid, Mich., but he, was powerless before attacks of Kidney trouble. “Doc tors could not help him,” he wrote, “so at last we gave him Electric Bitters a»d he improved wonderfully from taking six bottles Its the best Kidney medicide ever saw.” Backache, Tired feeling.

Mr. Editor: We all who have participated in political conven tions and campaigns, know how easy it is to resolute and make pro mises, the fulfillment of which, oiten would bring certain and dis astrous defeat upon any political party. It therefore behooves ns to think long and hard when we sit down to write a platform upon which to go before the people, with the intention of writing it into laws if successful at the polls. The people have become sufficiently in telligent to do at least a part of their o vn thinking, and some of the old methods and ways of lead ing the masses have forever passed and gone. Many of the people who listeu to political speeches, have qnit opening their mouths and drinking down every new idea gotten up by some dreamer and selfish demagogue who wishes to catch the votes and win the sup port of those who allow someone else to do their thinking. The people are getting to the point where they are able to separate the ohaff from the wheat, and ean tell an honest politician from the time serving self-seeking, plaee-huntiug demagogue. Some promises writ ten into political platforms have a suspicious look, and sound too much like a bribe offered to the people for support, and right here I wish to say that I am in favor of punishing both givers and takers of bribes. In this sordid age, when there are so many peGple looking, and trying to get some thing for nothing, these free offer ings are hailed with delight by the baser sort; to get something free at the expense of someone else is jumped at by those who reap where they have not sown and gather from the storehouse filled by other hands. There is no excuse for any able-bodied man being a depend ant and alms-seeker in this coun try, and I for one am opposed to any scheme or schemes which will lead to such a condition, and these free school book and old age pen sion propositions are two of a kind, and lead inevitably to paternalism of the worst kind. Mr. Victor L. Berger the Socialist Congressman from Wisconsin, in a speech de livered in the House of Represent- atives August 7, 1911 estimates that bis bill granting old ago pen sions wi'l cost the government for the first year, three hundred and forty-seven million dollars ($347,- 000,000). It could be more eafely estimated to cost five hundred mil lions. Now where is this money to come from! Mr. Berger in his Bpeech does not show where. It is either to come from a tariff tax or internal revenue tax, or an in come tax, or from a direct tax ied upon the real and personal perty of all the people or a ■fi issijte. Are we ready for such ... Aereaue in our national tax burdens! [The Democrats under the lead on,Mr. Underwood of Ala bama have jshown a desire to de story the Republican principle of protection, a system which has made our people prosperous and happy and a system which Mr. Berger and his party if in power would wipe off the statute books. Iam using this old age pension as an illustiation of the coHt- of these free gits, and also to show that they are Socialistic and unRepubli- can. Since writing the firstarticle, Ih a ve examined the records a lit tle and I find that for the school year ot 1908 1909, that the school population in North Carolina was 727,565. Now a low estimate of the cost of the books tor each child the first year is $3. Now lets multiply 727,565 by $3 and we bave the sum of two million, one hundred and eighty two thousand, fix hundred and:ninety five rtoi- Tmful (lrttg lars, ($2,382,695)—more than two thirds ot all the money now ^beixijg spent for. free schools in North Carolina. Now where is this mon ey coming from! How are we !go ing to raise it! Are wei going! to raise the valueof the^jAopertyvor increase the tax rate, or are we go ing to issue bonds and increase, tly public debt! It matters not which horu of the dilemma we take; it means increased taxes, and the lay ing upon the masses of our people more burdens in the way of increas ed taxes, and today! the farmer and man of moderate means is bearing the greater part of these burdens; and shall we increase their burdens in order to increase the number of dependants, drones and leeches! The school census for the year 1998-1909 shows that there were 286,825 negro school children enrolled. Books for these negroes at $3 each would cost the first year eight hundred and sixty thousand, five hundred and sixty, fivejlollara ($860,565). I for one am not in favor of placing nearly one million dollars of taxes upon our people to supply free school books to the negro, who should be and- is able to take care of himself. I am not opposed to it just because he is a negro, but I am opposed to the whole free school book pro position, and I really, think the white people are doing enough for the negro and he should be at this time able to shift for himpelf, with what is already being done for him without increasing the white man’s burden. When Ood drove Adam and Eve from the Garden of Eden he said “In the sweat of tby face shalt thou eat bread” He did not say “in the sweat of somebody else’s face,” but in the sweat of thy face Let’s not at this date try to reverse the decree of God, but let’s paddle our own boat, as far as we ean and help only those who cannot paddle tbeir own. Both political parties at this time seem to be divided. The Republi can party is in two factions, pro gressive and conservative, or stand patters. It behooves us to stand by those principles which have made us great and prosperous as a nation and as St. Paul said, to those on the ship during a great storm when the boat had been low ered and t he sailors were ready to desert the ship: “Except these abide in the ship ye cannot be saved.” Nowif w e‘desert the ship and go out after strange and nnkown Gods, defeat awaits us in 1912, and we all know what we may expect with the government in the hands of Democracy. The Republican party can best stand temporary defeat rather than win a victory by the desertion • of its time honored principles, In the language of Patrick Henry, “I know not what course others may take, but for me, give me liberty or give me death.” Back to first principles. E. H . Morris . Mocksville, N. 0. Oct. 30, 1911. Message to Farmers. To the Officers and Members of the Farmers Union: Theiarmer who takes advantage of the present season to sow down his acres in wheat, oats and other small grains will be in top-nocb position with the coming of the spring. I advise that you plant lavishly of these crops. You can be sure uot only of a heavey finan cial return but as well of a great saving in your own bills lor the coming season. The Southern farmer, if he would reach the pinnacle of prosperity to which he is entitled by the natural richness and variety of his soil,' tnust realize that farming is a busi ness, to be prosecuted scientifically his crops fertilized with brains, his! methods tempered with knowledge of present conditions and accurate forecast of future conditions. We are seding out of the section large amounts for the small grains and they should be kept here. YAw^est and quickest way to rem edy the deficiency is to- sow these crops broadcast now. - When the spring comes rteere will be a larger story of prospeiAt^ to tell. It‘is noticeaiple that the farmers who bave.faHlowed’tli4 policies . of the..Facfmers Union, and raised hog and koininey, are now in a position of absolute independence. They ean hold their ootton indefinitely. They do not have to depend up: on the vagaries of the merchant or any one else tor the necessities of life.. Their smokehouses bulge with the best of products and their cribs are well stored with corh, while their silos have plenty of green forage for cattle during the winter. Therd are hundreds of thousands of such farmers in the Southern States this year, and I predict that next year will-see a tremendous in crease in their numbers. It is sim ply the first priucipile of business for the Southern farmer to be self-, supporting, and there is no reason why every Southern farmer should not attain this distinction. It means freedom from debt, from slavery in the last analysis, and a solid foundation, bigger bank ac counts, improved machinery, a better roof over your head, im proved educational advantages for your children, easier living con ditions for the wife, npon whom the burden of the family rests so heavily and continuously. I counsel again that farmers everywhere sow liberally in small grains at this season. Such a pro cess is simply putting into action all the assets with which Provi dence has endowed this section.

Contractor Eddleman, who is work ing a chain gang force of about 40 men, builds. his roads this way. Hie grades the road lor 25~feet wide and uses a crown 16 feet wide He does not mix the sand and clay but puts on a top soil on the level grade about 12 feet sloping slight ly to either side. This top soil he gets out of the adjacent fields. Mr. RobinBon brought some of it with him. ; It is a gritty, yellowish soil with a good deal of sand in it. Mr. Eddleman does not pack this down with steam rollers but uses a wheel scrape, and smooths it out. If it should go into a hole, he would fill in and scrape it over again. .. This, road does not cost over $250 per mile after the grading is done. Beware of a boss girl, young man-funless you are looking for a boss wife.

A fellow from near Moores- ville by the name of “Bill”—his fin al name is not appended in the story carried by The Mooresvilie Enter prise—has just gone to Mississippi and. upon reaching his distant home, sends that paper a revised estimate of the crop. “Bill” has a fine sense of humor as well as abundant lyric talent. “The cotton crop,” he re marks at the beginning, “is not near as lurge as I first predicted. I am advised that the army worm has de stroyed thousands of acres of late cotton in Mississippi and, with a big killing frost this morning, I now re vise my estimate and predict only about fourteen million bales. And my honest opinion is that the man who sells for less than ten cents is a phool and the fellow who holds for fifteen is an idiot.

MOCKSVILLE. NORTH CAROLINA. WEDNESDAY. NOVEMBER 29. 1911 NUMBER 21 Facts About The Canal. SaUsbury Cor. Charlotte Observer. It having been announced by the president of the canal commission that boats could probably be pass ing through the canal by July, 1913. instead of 1915, it became necessary that representatives of committees interested should visit the canal before Congress meets in order..to be able to pass upon toll rates,, appropriations necessary to cuntiuue the work, etc. This first partv, consisting of twenty persons, including wives of some of the members, sailed on the 15th of October. The trip down was de- ltirhtfnland consumed a week. A week was spent on the isthmus, during which time the committee went the length of the canal several times. In estimating cost of building the two systems of canal engineers were badly mistaken. They stated that $178,000,000 would be re quired for lock and dam and $250,- 000,000 lor sea level system. It is now estimated tnat the cost of building will be $350,000,000. 1When completed the annual cost oi maintaining will be $350,000,000 and 2,400 men will be required. Theselarge figures partly influ enced Senator Overman in his fight for the sea level-system which could be operated for a small fraction of this cost. There were other reas ons—the eliminating of great haz ards in time oi war, necessity of fortifications and protection of the dams. Senator Overman says no one can get an idea of the immensity of the work from printed descip- tion or photographs. A visit is necessary. There are 34,000 men at work now, representing thirty- four races of people. There are three great divisions—the Gatuu dam finder command of Col. Sibert of Alabama, the Culebra cut under command of Col. Galliard of South Carolina, and the Pacific- division nndef Col. Williamson. The'first and second sanitary officers, Dr. Phillife and Dr. Perry, are ITorth Carolinians. Thechiefofsanitary work;Jand a man who Mr. Over man thinks has done more for the health of the world than any other living'man is Col. Gorgas, an army officer’of Alabama. So you might say Sduthern men are binding the canal!’ The chief director or presi dent Of the canal commission is Col. Gothals of New York. The esprit de corps of the canal force is splendid, Mr. Overman says, ev ery one seeming enthusiastic and determined to do all possible to have the canal completed on time. The greatest problem is caused by the great slides in Culebra cut which ocfcur often, the ground not only sliding in from the top but crowding up from the bottom of the cut. It is hoped than when water is turned into the cut these slides will cease. The dam we hear referred to so often is no or dinary dam but is a mountain—HO feet high, one and a half miles long and abeut- a half mile wide at the base. This makes a great In land lake 25 miles long with a channel depth of 45 feet through which vessels may pass. A vessel entering from the At lantic will sail seven miles on sea level, then be lifted 85 feet to the great inland sea, then sail 27 miles to another lock, be let down 50 feet to another lake through this a few miles to another lock and let down 35 feet to a sea level run of ; nine miles to the Pacific—49 nules from ocean to ocean. • The committee traveled the length of the canal several times, I riding on the Panama railroad with - stops at all important points. This railroad is being relocated now. But the most wonderful thing at a11 is the sanitary measures of Dr Gorgan. During the French effort -at-building the canal three out ol every four men employed died from some tropical disease. Dr. Gorgas demonstrated daring service in Cuba that yellow and malarial fever were caused by the bide of female mosquitoes". With the use oi crnde oil and screens he has re duced the havoc wrought by these pests until now the death rate in the canal zone is lower than that of New York. The canal commission has all the employes comfortably housed and furnishes splendid food, serving excellent meals to the better class of men at 30 cents and to those making lower wages a gcod meal is furnished for 10 cents. Splendid hospitals are maintained and a hotel costing $500,000 is being run by the government on good paying basis. . . Tiiirty Ears of Corn. Itisbetterto have raised thirty ears of corn than to have raised no corn at all and it is greatly to his credit that Mr. William H. Dorrin of Clover, Halifax County, Virginia, has won the $1,000 silver cup offered by the International Harvester Company for the best thirty ears of corn grown in the United States. Exactly why the prize did not come to some North Carolinian we do not understand, because north Carolina is the true home of corn. It is noted that Mr. Dorrin’s thirty -ears were selected from com grown on five hundred acres of land, and thirty good ears out of the crop produced-on so much land as that was really not so re markable, if it were not true at the same time that in a particularly dry season this same laiidyieleded on the average 137 bushels to the acre. Pos sibly the seed were obtained in North Carolina, for there have been some prodigious crops made in this State. The most interesting fact connect ed with Mr. Dorrin’s feat is that the land on which this corn was raised was bought by him five years ago for " the acre, and that he has refused $100 the acre for a part of his farm. There are thousands of acres just as good in the south that can be bought now for $10 the acre or less, and the strange thing is that the farmers of the North and East do not come down here to take it up. Last year Jerry Moore, a Iad in his teens in the lower Carolina, made 226 bushels of corn on one acre that would not sprout peas under the old methods of cultivation. Years ago ZekeDrake, of Mariboro County, also in the lower Carolina, raised 255 bushels and some pecks on One acre of land that was not regarded of much account in the older and bet ter days of the State, such is the ad vantage of intensive cultivation. WhattheMoonesand Drakes have accomplished in the Carolinas and what Dorrin has done in Virginia, could as well be done and is in fact done every year in North Carolina. A great Corn Congress is to be held in Columbia next year and at this' Congress North Carolina should be represented by an enormous display of its field crops and particularly of what the lands in this State will do under good farming. Weare willing to back this State not only against the United States but againBt the world. “Come one, come all; this rock shall fly from its firm base as soon as I.” As the old-fashioned squirrel hunters in Texas say, we would say to the com-raisers of all the States, if North Carolina farmers will enter the lists, “cut your patch- in!.”—Charlotte Observer. Took Mooey (or Preaching. The Fisher’s Biver Primitive Babtist Association was in session in Surry couiity a few days ago and of its proceedings the Mt. Airy News says: The most important business of the sessions vr as that of the question sent up by another association ask ing if this association endorses the doctrine and practice of Elder Jas. D. Draughn. It seems that, some of the Primitive Babtist churches are under, the impression that Mr. Draughn is too much of e “pro gressive,” as. some have expressed it,in his preaching. They charge that be preaches doctrine too much -like (liat preached by other de nominations. - Just what t)m charges are we are not informed sufficiently well" to undertake to give them, bnt is all a question of what the Primitive Babtist people believe and what they hold is law ful in the way of a minister taking inony for his services, it seems that Mr. Draughn has often gone to, churches in other States, and being a man of no small ability he preaches the gospel In a way that the people pay him, and report says he gets as much money for his services as is common for the peo ple to pay ministers of other churches. The Primitive Babtist people have always stood out firm ly against making merchandise of the gospel and they denounce any thing like a salary such as is com mon for ministers to receive in many of the churches ot other de nominations. “The association decided after a.lengthy discussion that it was not a question for that body to set tle, but referred the whole matter to Mr. Draughn’s home church', Dover, near White Plains. The churches are expected to send deb egates, who will meet with Dover cturch and hear and decide finally any charges that may be brought against Mr. Draughn. The time for this meeting will be appointed later.,, At Sundown.

Each Say you are striving to build up your pile and maybe resorting to systems of guile and when you are asked if you thiuk it straight, you leave your defense and begin to orate: “There is tierce competition, and men who would win must not be afraid of shadow ot sin.” That logic may do in a large bustling town but how will it look when the sun’s going down? You’d Iikei to be good if yon hadtiine, but you are so busy pursu- nig the dime that helping your brother or trying to cheer the grief- stricken pilgrims now journeying here, is merely an impulse that comes but to fade; there’s only one temple whose idol is trade; and there you may grovel for wealth and renown—but how will it seem when the sun(s going down?—Walt Mason. Another $20,000 Lest From Mail. Postal authorities are almost frantic over the loss of another registered package containing $20,- 000, this one disappearing from the mail somewhere in the neighbor hood of Greensboro. This is the second loss of that particular a- rnount within a week. The first package was routed from Blnefield, VV. Va., to New YorK. This one was routed from Baleigh to New York. At Greensboro the clerk on tain 'No. 38 signed for the pouch, and noticed it lying on a truck under the shed in the sta tiou; that was the last time it en tered his mind until he missed it at the end of his run. He has been suspeuded from service pend ing investigation bnt the officials say that they do not think that he stole the money; he has been sus pended for carelessness. Where the money is gone to -is a baffling mystery to all the department de tectives, and the fact that this is the second time that that sum has been stolen is the foundation :for tears that the thetts are the work of a skillfully organized band of criminals. - 'At’ The boy’s appetite is often the source of amazement - If you would have such an -appetite take Chamberlain’s Tablets They not only create a healthy appetite but strengthen the stomach and enable it to do its work naturally. For sale By all P^alers- The Appreciative Patron. Lenoir Topic. There are many ways in which a newspaper can' favor the public, and the editor is called upon almost daily to say or do ,Something to help or encourage some individual or object. And many times be feels it his duty to use his best skill with the pen in boosting some enterprise, paying a tribute to the worthy dead or in lauding to the skies the good qualities and achieve ments of the living, Itisa plea sure to perform duties of this kind and we consider them duties, bnt the reader would be surprised to know that an editor rarely hears of anybody expressing appreciating of the service, on the other hand he sometimes receives a genuine “cussing” for the favor. On one occasion the editor of the Topic Iabared with great diligence and care to unearth and give to the public a worthy tribuce to a well known deceased citizen. We re counted in detail -his numerous good qualities, avoiding the: bad with special care, and we thought we had reached the climax in the tribute, but a member of the fami ly of said deceased became so of fended and grieved at the short comings of the effort that' she has not since read the .paper or spoken to; the editor! B utthisis an ex treme case, not one in ten thousand like it. Agreat majority appre ciate may help or favors the paper any render though they do not ex- pr^s—it. The Catawba County News has' found one appreciative patron^and we reproduce its edi- toral comment on same below: lSthe. newspaper people are always more than willing to say anything that will help along any school, church or other- benevolent and worthy enterprise, and are grate ful for the opportunity of aiding; audit alwayB gives them a little thrill of pleasure to learn that their efforts are appreciated and not for gotten, as they are—sometimes. The other day a Newton lady asked The News to do something along this line, and The News gladly agreed. Later'she went to the trouble to call the office on the phone and express her apprecia tion and thanks—a not unusual but sufficently seldom thing on the part of the public. Newspaper people re'member occurrences like that and the folks back of them a sight lonuer than one might think, in fact they do net forget at all.” Good Roads. If you cannot boost good roads throw away your little hammer. Mud roads belong to the log cab in days and the log cabin days be long to the past. A good road is to a country dis trict what a paved street is to the city property that adjoins it. It makes business. Aiitomobiles have been driven over the oiled boulevards of Cali fornia at a rate ot eighty miles an hour, without doing the slightest damage to the surface. Money spent on good roads is as good an investment for improving the farm as is money put into sheds, grain cribs, fences, seeds or anything that makes the farm pay. French peasants loose no money in broken harness, wornout vehic les, broken down live stock on ac count of bad roads. There a horse can pull three thousand pounds 18 miles in a day and get back for supper.—Ex. ANNOUNCEMENT!

New Yoirk, Nov. 21.—New Yorkbankers who have ibeen conferring here for the last few days with representatives of the Governor’s Conference and of the South ern Cottori Congress announced this af ternoon tliiat they had raised a fund of $30,GU0,3QI) to be placed immediately in the Cotton Beit States for the purpose of handling >.he cotton crop of 131:1 and en abling growers to partieipare in any rise iu the market. The bankers who will furnish tl..s fund, according to the state ment, are headed by Col. Robert M. Thompson, of the brokerage Cnn of S. H. p. Pell Sz Co., of this city. The plan pro poses to advance the grower $25 a bale upon his cotton, based on the market val ue at the time of the loan. No interest will be paid upon the loan, the only charge being $1 a bale, which is regarded as a legitimate minimum charge for expense of grading and handling. The cotton is not held, nor taken from channels ,of ■L-ade, but is placed at'the best advantage. The grower is given the right to designate the day o: sale prior to January I, 1933, atid will participate in any advance in price to the extent of three-fourths of the rise of the market.

The confession was made public in the rotunda of a downtown hotel by the Rev. Benjamin Dennis, one of the ministers who had labored .with Beattie to repent, As a matter of fact, it was acknowledged by the minister, Beattie first admitted h's guilt November 9, the day after he enter ed t ie death Cell and before the fruitless appeal for a commutation of sentence was made to Governor Mann: It was not until yesterday that he would agree to its being put in writing for his signature. Then all hope that the Governor would interfere was gone. . The extraordinary document follows: •'I, Henrsr Clay Beattie, Jr.; desirous of standing right before God and man, do on this, the twenty-third day of Novem ber, 1911, confess my guilt of the crime charged against me. Much that was published concerning the details was not true, but the awful fact, w ithout the har rowing circumstances, remains.

Manyof the old customs and things which wrre highly prized and essen tial to the wellbeing and comfort of our forefathers, are now fast fading from the memory of man. One of the last things to give way to this fast-flying, pride-puffed commercial age, is the old easy, durable, econo mic weapon of life’s warfare—the home-made shoe. Hpw tenderly my thoughts cling to the memory of the old brogan! I made its acquaintance early in life, and it serves as a link to connect my barefooted days with the present. The first pair of shoes I ever had were home-mu.de brogans, and I thought them noble companions. I was as proud of these shoes as a girl is of her first beau I wore them for years and years, and I suspect if you would go and search in my father’s old smoke-house today you’d find them there yet, nearly as good as ever. A brogan shoe was never known to wear out, but sometimes a fellow outgrew them and they had to be laid aside. The home-made shoe was a most wonderful wrought article, and was made to withstand the blighting hand of time. They differed in con struction only in size, as they were made straight and would accomo date your big toe on either right or left. but the days of the home-made shoe are numbered, and the dear old mud-splitter is rapidly passing out. There is a saying that, all things must have an end, and . the brogan is no exception to the rule. It came, flourished, and faded, and soon the last pair will have laid down in the old wood-house of oblivion to moul der and decay. The'man who thinks that he if what he should be seldom is. “It is a pleasure to tell you that Cham berlain's Cough Remedy is the best cough medicine I have ever used," WrPes Mrs. Hugh Campbell, of Lavonia, Ga.

I, Timothy Delona, of Barrydown- derry, in tile county of Clara, far mer. being sick and wake in my legs, bitt of sound head and warm heart; Glory be to God— Do make ray first and last will and the aold. and new testament; first I give my soul to God, when it pleases Hint to take it; sure no thanks to me, for I can’t help it then; and my body to be hurried in the ground, at Barrydowndery chapel, where all iay kith and kin that have gone before me, and those that live after belonging to me, are buried; pace to their ashes, and may the sod rest lightly over their bones. Bury me near my godfather, .Felix O- ’Flaherty, betwixt and between him and my father and mother, who lie seperate altogether, at the other side of the chapel yard. I lave the bit of ground, containing ten acres—rale old Irish acres—to me eldest son, Tim, after the death of hffs mother, if she survives him. My daughter Mary and her hus band, Paddy 0 ’Jtagan are to get the white" hen that roosts in the shed. Teddy, my boy, that was killed in the war of Amerikay1 might have go* his pick of the For More and Bigger Pigs. In line with the movement at Bock Hill for a boys’ pig club whose most' capable member will receive prizes of $25 and $10 each year from Representative Finley and Tlie Rock Hill Record. The Lincolnton News urges Lincoln county iarm'ers to encourage their boys in pig-raisiog achievements. “A mighty good way to start this work,” it- thinks,' would be to or ganize clubs. The meetings could be held at the different school houses, Cr the court house in Lin colnton could be-procured for this purpose. Prizes could be offered to the boys which would stimulate and encourage them.” Let’s have the pig club, say we, too. Theboys corn clubs aud the girls’ totnusSo" clubs have shown that organizati ons like these are excellent things Of course in the case of the pig clubs there will be gibings heard. Some low creatures will profess to mistake te pig clubs for clubs ol pigs. But the boy who wins prizes like those offered by Representative Finiey and The Rock Hill Record can well afford to ignore heathen wit.

Mr. Poe States a Great anil Ugly , Truth. It has been very noticeable for several years that the Democratic ring politicians and the. machine organs have gone out of their way to pat Mr. Poe, the editor of the Progressive Farmer, on the back in a most patronizing manner, In deed, he has-seemed to be one of their especial pets. It has been the general opinion that the pnr- pose of these ring politicians and machine organs was to try to cap ture Mr. Poe so that he would use his paper to support, or at least not attack, their record of extra- vageuce and incompetency. Recently, Mr. Poe, in a speech at the Normal Industrial School at Greensboro, arraigned the public, school system in North Carolina by declaring flatly that the boy aud girl in North Carolina to-day who has to depept upon the pubm. schools for an education has only one-half as good a chance as the boys and girls of the other S tt of the Union on an average. This fact is one which the Re publicans have been pointing out in their platforms and campaign speeches and newspapers for many years. MrvIJoe’s bold declaration supporting the facts which the Republicans'have repeated a hun dred times has apparently caused considerable coolness toward him on the part of his former Demo eratic admirers and patronizers. If Mr. Poe does not modify his statement or attempt to explain it away to the satisfaction of these machine Democrats, he uaay soon learn what they think of a man who has the courage to tell the trnth. A Father’s Vengeaace would have fallen on any ono who at tacked the son of Peter Bondy, of South Rockwood, Mich., but he was powerless before attacks of Kidney trouble. “Doc tors could not help him,” he wrote, “so at last we gave him Electric Bitters a"d he improved wonderfully from taking six bottles Its the best Kidney medicide I ever saw.” Backache, Tired feeling, Ner vousness, Loss of Appetite, warn of Kid ney trouble that may end in dropsy, dia betes or Bright’s Disease.
