01-JanuaryISSUE NOT PUBLISHED HERE SHALL THE gRESS, TtIE PEOPLE’S RIGHTS MAINTAIN* UNAWF.n BY INFLUENCE VOLUMN XIII. AND UNBRIBED BY GAIN.” Be a Farmer This Year, Not-Mefe- iy a Cotton Grower. MOCKSVELLE. NORTH CAROLINA. WEDNESDAY. JANUARY. 10 1912 The Progressive Farmer. Whenever cotton gets verylow there are always a lot of people to cry out, ‘ Quit raising cotton.” and a lot of farmers who begin looking for some other crop, "to take the place of cotton.” Now, we do not believe that the Cotton Belt farmer should quit raising cotton or that he needs another “money crop” to take its place. Cotton is the greatest money crop that Southern farmers, a3 a class, can grow. For the man who has been growing cotton all his life to quit all at once just because prices are low and plunge altogether into some other branch of farming, is anything but a wise policy. The cotton farmer doesn’t need to get unduly excited because cotton prices are low. Cotton was a profitable crop, even this year, to some farmers it will be a profitable crop for a long time time yet if farmers will only give it a chance. There ape a great many changes sadly needed in our system of farming, but there is not the slightest need of a panic-stricken rush to untried iines of work. The kind of farming needed next year is exactly the kind of farming that was needed this year,—-the kind that The Progressive Farmer urged,— and the kind that good farmers here and there all over the South are do­ ing- . - Cottonislow this year, because our farmers went wild last .spring and planted the biggest crop in the history of this country? Prices-had been high for two years, and? they forgot that a cotton crop of medium size almost invariblv brings more than a big one. They forgot, too, that the entire, dependence upon a singlfccisoa^no matteh n i^ a*at^ ir i^ crop it may be, is an unsafe policy. ForalI these years The Progressive Farmer has been urging Sputhern farmers to reduce their cotton acre­ age to farm their lands in a system­ atic rotation, to grow more corn ar.d hav and other feed crops, to keep more livestock, to give more atten­ tion to building up the fertility of of their lands, to reduce the cost of production by making larger crops to the acre—in short, to farm so as to make their cotton a real "money crop,” a surplus crop, instead of having to sell it'to pay for fertilizers and mule3 and feed and "supplies” and clothing and everything else they need. All this we still believe -iEas.sound advice then and now, but it does not follow that it will pay the man who does not understand hog raising or dairying to rush into these businesses, or that the man who has had no experience with truck crops should change all at once from 3 cotton planter to a trucker. There is no great change needed, except the change from the present miser­ ably wasteful cropping practice to a rational system of general farming; and when this change is made cotton will still be the great staple crop of the South. Po not be misled, either, by the advice some people are giving to buy no fertilizer next year, or by any of that sort of stuff. What you want is to have every pound of cotton you produce next year produced at the least possible cost. T hew ayto do. this is to make just as much cotton as possible on every acre- planted. Reduce the fertilizer bill by reducing the acreage. Puthalf the land you expect to plant to cotton in peas or soy beans or potatoes or some other crop, and then plant your cotton on good land, plant good seed, fertilize liberally, cultivate well with improv­ ed machinery. Whenever Southern farmers get to the point of making the fertility of their land their first consideration in the planning of their farm work, and when they get to real farming with systematic rotation and diver­ sification, they will not plant every available acre-in cotton one year be­ cause prices are high and then hunt a substitute crop the next year be­ cause prices are low. And then cot- totl wilI be a profitable crop every year to the man who uses good farm-, inS methods, and a big crop, .will n°t have to be sold for less than. a smaIl °ne just because-the?farmers ate unable to hold and market itsdn a business manner. Preaches a Sermon On Country- Editor. Itldeir John P. Galvin, pastor of the Christian Church of Fairfield, III., in a series of sermons on the different trades-and occupations of life delivered a sermon on ‘‘The Newspaper.” Among the many good things He said were: “ What am I doing for il? Kick­ ing because its not blowing my horn? But how much of myself am Heading to the paper by speak­ ing a good word for it whenever I have a chance? Really, how much of my personal influence can its editor depend upon? Much, or is it very little? If I grow a big cab­ bage I want him to publish it, but I may hear item after item of news about OthersPeople1S cabbages and never drop him a lire about them? Now. as he is not almighty enough to be in all places at the same time- why not help him by making news for his paper? It’s rather a mean thing to take everything and give nothing back but faultfinding. If we never feed the cow how can wc expect any milk, and can we blame Bossy if she kicks the milker and: the bucket? AU in all Ifind that our county papers are doing their very best-for every part of the country, even a hundred times more than any of the large city; papers can possibly do. • ,4 i “T hem ^ r^ ily or weekly can- iter$ S i|^ ch J n tere8t close neigjiv* bqr^y'Bu^ith^ county papers.;tell us"all laome^atterSj -from the first baby doivtf^o.: garden truck ,A.nd the visit-M-rs.'

Why, the only share of glory of halt the editors of country papers is like that of the man who saw the father of his nation from afar off. Yes; his glory is likesome of those weird' pictures of Dore. And after he has spent apdiour or so patching up the spelling and punctuation of some hasty brothers article or letter so as to make de­ cent reading out of it he feels as if He hpd a mouthful of mustard and sour dock when the said brother goes around telling everyone how the said editor has ruined his beau­ tiful effusion. Job had boils to contend with, but tie country ed­ itor has to try to satisfy men and women afflicted with an elongated, dose of twisted conceit. Job pray­ ed that his enemy might write a book, but if I could ever pray for the affliction of a man I didn’t like Iid pray he might be an editor of a country newspaper. It would keep him hot throng the day, and he wouldn’t have much sleep at night. . So my heart goes out to the country editor.

This is an era of what common men call “snaps.” A good many men without character or capital are living by.their wits and upon the credulity of others. Lacking all sense of veracity, they scatter promises right and left, and when fulfillment is demanded they ~’ip out of the hole by some invention' of the mind more or IesB plausible. Of course, some men bluntly insist upon the carrying out of the' bar­ gain, but, iu a certain percentage of cases; their excuses are accept­ ed and thus their nefarious exis­ tence continued. Hence we believe it is economy and wisdom for eve­ rybody iu general and farmers in particular, to pass by every travel­ ing shark that proposes, to 'make you rich by one,small investment, or save you frbra $10 to $100 in a little scheme they have on foot, and’as an expression of your good faith only ask yonr signature to a simple contract..

The Southeimt, Presents Eevery Advantogefor the General Farmer. The Southeastern States! form an ideal general farming section.Grow ers o’t the great staple crops—corn, cotton, tobacco, cane, wheat and hay—find in the South the most excellent combination of 3oil, tem­ perature, rainfall and other grow ­ ing conditions for the production of the largest crops. v ' Primarily, the Southeast may be said to offer the greatest variety of Staple crops to the general-farm er. No other section of the coun­ try can be placed under a rotation system in which there is a choice of four of the greatest general farnr crops known to agriculture for the principal cash factor. Either corn cotton, tobacco or cane will make excellent returns per acre in almost every part of the .Southeast, and on many- places all of them can-= be included in the diversified system which is being followed by the mo-; dern farmer. , The soils of the Southeast. are admirably fitted for general- farm crops. They are warm, mpen, eas­ ily worked” lands, and present eve­ ry variety of formation, subsoil,; chemical and physical composition . Many sections possess several dis­ tinct types of soil, suitablejor en­ tirely different crops. An instance in point is that to be found on many Southern- farms where great- crops of tobacco are taken from the yel­ low soils of one slope; while cotton and= corn thrive iu the rich, black loam of the opposite field. South­ ern lands are cheap, too—a para­ mount consideratiomfo^to^ ral farmer, who, as 'a rule, cannot invest large sums in -specialized machinery,ifrtilizer-and other ex- pe'ndhures:fpr=grqwing!.a United States can such lands be had at so low a price. ^Cbmate conditions- throughout the Southeast are peculiarly ad­ vantageous for--general larming- The long growing season—lasting from seven to eleven months out of the twelve—is of the greatest importance to the producer of staple crops, as it enables him to take his time preparing his laud aud does not force him to remove a crop before maturity on account of frosts. Two and sometimas three crops a year can be taken from the same land in the Southeast—a-tact not-to be overlooked when profits and expenses are figured up at the end of the year. . When a man can take off spring wheat; put in corn, aud after taking off that, get a crop of cowpea hay, followed by pota­ toes, before a killing frost, general diversified farming means some­ thing, Few sections have better rainfall conditions than the South­ east. The drouth of the past sum­ mer, so keenly felt in other parts of the country, hardly affected the Southeast. So much for facts of production in the Southeast. Conditions of consumption are equally as goad. Practically every Southern city imports annually large quantities of produce of every kind from dis­ tant States,-solely because the far­ mers of the. vicifnty do net grow enough, to supply the local demand Transportatiyn facilities are excel­ lent throughout the Southeast, and market conditions of the finest. Hay, the grains—in fact, nearly- allhgricnltural produce, commands a higher price in the Southeast tbaA elseW herei^inhkiug^atr^acre- crop, worth more to the Southern farther than is true in other sec­ tions.^ With such conditions of soils, climate and market present, there is small wonder that the general farmer in the Southeast is makiDg larger profits from nis acres and is rapidly increasing the yield of his crops and the value of his lands; while the thousands of farmers who come every year to the South from other parts of the country are find­ ing their new places productive of yields and profits even greater than their fondest hopes.—Southern Field. claim to know something about what I am...now going to tell you. I do not believe that the gambling den ,.is near so dangerous, nor docs it ItoaDytliiug like the same amount of harm, as the social card party in the home! I give this as my reason: Iu the gambling room the windows are closed tight, the cur- i.tains are palled down, everything is conducted secretly for fear of detectives, and none but gamblers as a rule, enter there. In the par­ lor all have access to the game; children are permitted to watch it young people are invited to parti- cipitate in it. It is made attrac- ’ five and alluring by giving prizes, serving refreshments, and adding high social enjoyments. For my part; I could never see the differ­ ence between playing for a piece of silver molded in - the shape of money and silver molded in the shape of a cup or thimble. The principle is the same; and when ever property changes hands over the luck of cards, no matter how small is the value of the prizes, I believe it is gambling. Perhaps yon have never thought of it, bnt wheredoall the-gamblers come from? They are not taught in the gambling dens. A “greener,” un­ less he is a fool, never enters a gambling den, because he knows that he will be ileeced out of every­ thing he possesses in less than fif­ teen minutes. He has learned somewhere else before he sets foot inside of such a place. When he has played in the social games of the homes, and has become profi- cient enough to win prizes among his friends, the next step with hi m is to seek out tne ^ambling=Woom; * for he has learned and now counts on his efficiency to hold his own. The saloons men and gamblers chuckle and smile when they read in the papers of parlor games giv-- en by ladies, for they know that after a while those same men. will become patrons of their business. I Eay then the parlor game is the college where gamblers are made and educated.” A Gambler’s Testimony. “I have been in the saloon busi­ ness, with a - gambler’s room * at tached, for the last four years, and boy,“Mamma” asks the little “ who are the Highwaters?” “Highwaters?” answered the mother. “I don’t know any such family. Why do you ask?” “ Weil, I heard Mr. Perkins ask papa if he’d be over to the little game'to-night, and papa said he’d be there in spite of Helen High- water.”—ChicagoPost. Money Is Short.

The gun was a single barrel ,breech loader, and occasionally went off with a slight jar, and this may a< - count for the fact that the fatal shot was fired into the youth.

A contributor to the December Woman's Home Companion makes the following interesting comment: “It lias occurred to me, while reading articles on the high cost of living that apparently no one has thought of the terrible high cost of dying. “Does it seem fair that a casket should cost so many times its in­ trinsic value, because of the press­ ing need? Should liverymen charge double or treble for conveyances at such a time? Can yon not un­ dertake to show the actual robbery that exists and thrives on the fore ed purchasing that often leaves a family almost bankrupt? That, too at a time perhaps when its support is taken away. I hope that you may be able to start a crusade a- -gainst such rank injustice."

He sits down at night to read, jhe Bible that was printed in Chicago, kneels to say a prayer that was composed in Jerusalem, and covers himself with a New Jersey blanket, only to be disturbed all night by the howling of his dog, which is the only home- raised product on the place.—Sen ator Verdaman. Some More About Maud. Maud Muller on a winter day Got on the scales and took a weigh. Her brows went up, the ecales went high. Maud Muller stood and said; “Oh, my!” Straight to a Turkish bath she ran And cried: “Reduce me, if you can.” They steamed, they rubbed, they pounded Maud W hofelt herself loo thick anti broad But when ’twas done, they sighed: “No use:” Your weight we simply can’t re duce.” She banted- then, she lived on grain, But found her dieting in vain. She walked and walked, she climb­ ed the hills, And paid the health professor’s bills. She grew as firm and hard as nails, And weighed the same' upon the scales. -With Indian clubs she sprained her back And broke her mother’s bric-a- brac. She rolled upon her bed room floor Uhtil her form was bruised and - sorer Shedrank no water with her meals, Yet still she made dents with her heels. She.tried each vain experiment— She jumped, she danced, she bow­ ed, she bent. At last she went and gave it np And on fat-making food’s she’d • sup; She said she had coucluded . that When folks are fat, why they are fat. Of all sad words heard rounda­ bout The saddest are these: “I’m get­ ting stout.” $10,000 in a Wooden Leg? The following improbable, story comes from Oklahoma City, Okla: “ Au old wooden leg may not be much of a legacy, but when it con tains §10,OCO Jacob Randall, a pauper at the poor farm of Cana.- dian county tninks it is worth hav­ ing. The leg was given to him by Alexander P. Hamilton, a suppos ed pauper at the-farm, just before he died a few days ago. Last night Randall discovered the roll of mo­ ney in the stock of the artificial limb.' It Hamilton had relatives they are not known here.” When Mr. J. C. Irvm read the above iu the Richmond Times-Dis- patch he called at Tne Landmark office to say he didn’t believe it. Neitherdoes TheLandmark. The sum is too large. If they bad said §10 it would have been more reas­ onable.—Statesville Landmark, Mrs. Marion Butler, wife of the' former Senator from North Carolina has been chosen president of the District Daughters of the Confeder­ acy of Washington, Mrs. Butler was Miss Faison, of Sampson county. The Growler. Money talks, but sometimes- it contradicts itself. Somegirls blush naturally. With others it’s all put on. The old deck is plenty good for a new deal. The thing is bound to look pret­ ty punk when we look at it fr6m only one angle. Some of us never, get in right until we have it out with ourselves! Some men will give §1 to charity and then spend §10 to advertise the fact. Where the bill collector is .con­ cerned absence surely makes the heart grow fonder. Never strike a man when he is down, especially if you are going to strike him for a loan. Why is it that the people who' don’t know right from wrong seem to be always in the wrong? ’ The man who never makes an enemy is a straddler. Luckconsists of getting what some other fellow wants. ' - Long stockings are quite popu­ lar just now,. . Sufficient unto the day are the useless gifts thereof. Members of all political faiths favor the recall when applied to certain actors. Forbidden Fruit generally end' by tasting like ashes of aloes! - Poverty is no disgrace, yet somehow we never felt l.ike brag ging about it. Many a man who is always talk­ ing about what a fool he used to be isn’t very old. The world would get along bet­ ter if some people would change some of their dollars into sense. A woman more apt to excuse a man who never pays his bills than one who never pays compliments. Too many of us have an -idea that-the things that make life worth living are the things other people have. It’s foolish to be extravagent at Christmas. If you really wish your friends to remember it, give -them a cheap present. Civil War Iecident Recalled. A dispatch from Palmyra; Mo., the 28th says: A bloody chapter in civil war history—the Palmyra massacre—was recalled heie_. to­ day by the death of Mrs. Sarah Leea daughter of Andrew Alsinan. It was Aleman’s abduction—sup­ posedly by Confederate soldiers— that resulted in the shooting of ten southern fighters after a demand- for Alsman’s return had been ig­ nored. ’ : /• Mrs. Lee was eighty years old. Alsman was supposed to have been an ardent abolishionist. One morning he disappeared. Sparch for him led to- suspicion that he I had been abducted by Confederate ! authorities. -A demand was made : upon them for Alsman’s return and the union officials backed up their demand with the threat that if j Alsman was not returned within a I prescribed time limit, ten southern soldiers would be shot. Airman was not returned. True Io their word-the Union army of­ ficials led out ten Confederate sol­ diers, placed them on pine coffins, then the firing squad shot. Alsman was never found.

Your local newspaper, works for its own town; does all it can to. build up the place, advance the interest of its citizens, draw trade to the town, puts money into -the pockets of the business men and adds to the well-being of all.

Fee System in Tennessee. • One of the abuses in this state which needs corregting most im­ peratively is the infomoos fee sys­ tem of paying caunty officers, This system is not only inherently WrODg but it gives almost resistable temp­ tation to dishonest abuse. We are told'that there are officers in some counties of the state that- pay no attention whatever to the schedules of charges specified by . the state law, but charge fees according to the inclination of their own sweet will. As a cousequence clerks of county courts who rightfully might receive something like two thous­ and dollars per year are pocketing in the neighborhood of four .thous­ and. This is downright stealing, of course, and such officials ought to be investigated and made to cough up, and quit their thievery. But what is the use in the first place to pay a six-hundred dollar man even two thousand dollars for the privilege of holding down a county office. Twelve hundred dollars in many instances would attract good competent men to the office. The trouble is that the good citizenship of the county foot these bills, and the rifi-raff get the sur plus for their votes in assisting to put the officials in place. The whole system is wrong and ought to be corrected,—Campbell Coun-' ty Record. - The spirit of reciprosity between the bnsiness man and the mechan­ ic, tradesman and. laborer, farmer and manufacturer, results every time in making the town a perfect one to do business in-.— Ex. $100 REWARD, $100.

NORTH CAROLINA. WEDNESDAY. JANUARY. 17 1912. Free School Books, Etc. Mrs- Iza Cook, a woman 49 years old and whose husband is in • the national military home, is practi­ c a l l y destitute at Oswego, Kan. The state laws of Kansas require that children of school age be sent to school. The truancy officer notified Mrs. Cook that her chil dren must be started to school. She informed him that they had « . t * _ f i t 4-a n r n a n o n < ^ e h a T n n n jC----------------------------- - ^----- no clothing fit to wear and she was u n a b le to procure the same. The truancy officer went with the mat­ ter to the county attorney, who sent the woman word that she had to send the boys and that if she did not start them the next Mon­ day they would be sent away to the reform school or be bound cat to someone who would care for them for their services. When the Socialists get possession of Kansas, or of some of the counties in Kan­ sas, we will provide clothing- for these poor children and food if necessard, out of the public treas­ ury Cnttingdown the graft of some of the county officers would go a long ways toward paying all necessary expenses thereto.—-Ap­ peal to Reason. Mr. Editor:—In my brief reply to the case of Taylor and Tally vs Morris, I give yon the above edi­ torial clipped from the Appeal to Reason of Nov. 25, 1911. Now I shall notice Mr. J. P. Tay­ lor’s attempt to langh me out of court by bis allusion to me as be iog as shifty as the Irishman’s flea, and also his misinterpretation of my quotation from Patrick Henry’s speech. I nsed that part of his Bpeech to illustrate my position on the free school book question, for the question of “liberty or death” was not under consideration in the discussion. Now to the charge that I am “shifty,” does not hold good, for I have held to the same reasons all the way through, 'and if there has been any shifting my friend Taylor is the guilty party. My contentions have been that in­ dependence and self reliance of the individual were destroyed by too much help or interference on the part of the State, that a self-reliant citizenship is much to be desired, “and when once destroyed can never be supplied.” Also that it would increase tax burdens which now hear heaviest upon the farm­ er and man of moderate means. This editorial taken from the leading Socialist paper in the U. S. shows that I was right when I said it was a Socialistic principle put into a Republican platform, and I wanted to raise my voice in protest, before other Socialist planks are inserted, for one step taken in the wrong direction but leads to others and others. You will note the language used by this Socialist editor: “ When the So­ cialists get possession of Kansas or some of the counties of Kansas.” Now let’s exert our energies for better school houses, better teach­ ers and a chauge in selecting school books, a method which will reduce the cost and let the parents who are able to supply their children continue to do so, and help only those who are unable to help them­ selves. TheState cares for (or should) its mental and. physical 'rrecks, only those who are finan- v ially unable to pay for their keep, c-o., aud it should not furnish free hooks to any who are able to sup- Ply them, These are my views whether it coostitutes me regular or a “ bolt- ri and right here I desire to im- Press this fact upon my friend _ y or s mind—that Republican P a«k8 in their platforms ,do not egulate my conscience, or force ® o approve that which my best ogment disapproves. ffovfl1* tl>e flr8t time 8inCe tbe Sion!Dment has had charge of the tin .la(iians the issuance of ra- sist? bee° stoPPfld- No snb- nishD I6 °f aDy ^ind bas been fur- month i,be rndians for three ration 8^ 0t 8eVeral years a small been • ° ’ suSar and Aonr has Smd ,Ifsued t0 toe oid and indigent this will be done again this winter, but only to those who are infirm. The indians for the first time have shipped their own cattle to Chicago this year. They have sent several train loads, and have received top prices for them* net­ ting them thousands of dollars.— Minneapolis Journal. The above clipping is put in be­ cause it shows that National gov­ ernment years ago adopted a pol­ icy with the Indians, which it thought Wpuld eventually make the Indian independent, self reli­ ant and self sustaining. The clip­ ping with reference to the Sioux proves that the government was right. It also proves that my po sition is the correct one. " - In further corroboration of my position that too many free thingB are debasing and ruinous in their effects and are destructive of the Well developed and all-round man I quote from a book written by a North Carolina lady, “ In the Nan- tahalas.” .A mountain woman is telling of the effects of free cloth­ ing sent down to these mountain people. “But we think its powor- ful nice for you to' want to give as so much. Your uncle says them Yankees that keep sending boxes and barrels down to the Dell set­ tlements means well, but they are making paupers out of the whole neighborhood. The folks are plum no connt now, nary girl among ’em will hire out to do a day’s Work, and even Miss Bowles wear clothes made out of goods they send, and you know the Bowles are good livers.” Here Bro. Taylor is the destruc­ tion of y i “ bold peasantry a coun­ try’., pride,” and “ when once- de- Btroyed can never be • supplied.” “I offend not the lesst of the little ones,” but I do want the ’ little ones in North Carolina to grow up looking to their parents to supply them with school books as long as they are financially able. Free schools, which include-honses and teachers were not intended to in elude all that is necessary to the children who attend, lor if the children are without bread and proper clothing, the want of which wonld b.e no fault of theirs, they could not attend, yet the State in establishing the free school system made no provisions for these most essential prerequisites. “The Gods help those who help themselves.” Now, in conclusion, Mr. Tally says “ that the election following the insertion of this plank in our platform shows that a goodly num­ ber believed we meant it.” possib- Iy so, but the second time it was inserted about fifteen thousand less voted our ticket. I don’t be­ lieve, as Mr. Tally, in putting In planks just to win votes. We shonld not decry high taxes in one breath, and in the next advocate policies that will make them high­ er. The people are getting tired of dishonest politics and dishonest, timeserving demagogues, and are looking for, and are going to de­ mand men for their servants “ who had rather be right, than to be president.” As a party, let’s be honest with the people if we wish to gain their confidence, and suc­ ceed in wresting the State from Democracy and giving to the peo­ ple better schools and cheaper books and not least among these, a voice in electing the school boards and county Superintendents of onr schools, or better still, adopt a nonpartisian system if possible. E. H. MORRIS. Mockeviile, N. 0. Dec. 12,1911. Pafticularly Pointed., That penitentiary surplus -is harder to locate than the Irishmans flea. Of course, if cotton isn’t as low as the Democratic formers want it, they tan vote the Democratic tick­ et, again next fall. Woodrow Wilson now wantB a pensionfrom the-Caruegiefounda- tion Fund, Must have given up all hopes of getting a job as Presi dent. If Professor Coon’s' charges a gainst the management of the pu­ blic schools in the State are not true, why don’t the politicians prove .they are not true, instead of simply hurling abuses at him! The Democratic machine ring has mortgaged the State to the American Tobacco Company to get it to take one lot of State bonds that could not be sold. The next time that this ring, through itsex- travagence and ibcompetency, is forced to borrow more money, they Will, no doubt, mortgage the State to the Standard Oil Trust or to some other big trust.—Raleigh Caucasian. Those cotton farmers who votod the Democratic ticket are getting just about what they voted for and should have no kick coining, but those of us who had more sense than to vote that kind of a ticket, hate like the dickens to sell our cotton at Democratic prices. Wonder what the Democratic party has got against this country anyway. It tried for four long years to destroy this government by force of arms,-Tint failed, and then for four more years from 1893 to 1897 they tried to perish the people to death under Cleveland, and jn*t as soon as they got control of Congress again they have prac­ tically destroyed the price of cot­ ton, Away with such a party it’s a curse to any people.—Clinton News-Dispatch. Moral: Buy at Home. No truer statement has ever been made, than that, distance lends enchantment to the view. A prac­ tical illustration of this is noted by the Wilmington Star: “ A Wilmington lady bought a buffet in New York, paid the freight on it, footed the bill for the drayage and had to go to the ex­ pense of having it nncrated and put up. She found out that it waB manufactured at High Point,Nortn Carolina, and Borne just like it were on sale in Wilmington at less than she paid in New York. Cer­ tainly she is sore about it, bnt she says nobody advertised that they had furniture for sale and conse-,- quently they lost a sale and caused her to lose money and help New York.” “ A more striking instance than even the above went the rounds of the press some time ago, though itsAruUTcannot be vouched for. It concerned a young housewife whom nothing she conld find even in New York suited, so she took up her journey to Paris.. There she found a most exquisite example of French cabinet makers’ art in a bedroom suite. The price was stag gertog, and the duty was worse, but she finally landed the precious furniture In her American, Lome. There while unpacking it she hap­ pened; to turn over one of the . bu- -rean drawers, and was horrified to find stamped on the bottom, ‘Blank Furniture Co.", High Point, N. C.” —Lexiiigton Dispatch. The Right Kind of a Man. The man that brings things to pass is the man the Hrorld is look­ ing for. He is not looking for po­ sitions or institutions to represent. Positions and institutions are look­ ing for him. He is not a complain- er. He does things. He accom­ plishes results and . these .results, speak more loudly in JhiaTavor timii could anything else. Such a man is the one the world wants and the world rewards. Discpur agements and failures, have no meaning to him. Results are the substantial things he stands for and attains. His manner and movements indicate a firm convic- tion of success. There is no diffU eulty-in selecting him .from a crowd He can be picked just as-accurate­ ly as cgn his opposite, ',who lives in' discouragement and failure. Rope and success are more pleas­ ant combinations than discourage­ ment and failure and they leave a mpre attractive imprint on the countenance. Men who know things who briug things to pass, are men who are sought'in industrial, com­ mercial and financial life. They are not as plentiful as are their op­ posites. They, however, acc-om- pli|h vastly more and they are the ones who move the world. Rural Mail Carriers Takes Out -of Politics. Washington Dispatch, Dec. 31. Au order sent out today by the President-wili take the rural free delivery carriers out of polities; they cannot be delegates to con- ven|ions of political parties. By th.is order the President puts rural carriers in the class with city .car-, ricrs and under the civil service. AU appointments will be made after examinations.

The order today it is estimated, will affect 10,000 men It goes into effect at once, and mail carriers who do not observe it will be considered guilty of “pernicious activity.” BackTo Their Wind-Tugging. Laws Lash. COifigress has assembled again, to sweep the cob-webs out of our magnificent- old capitol building and play hands around, while—the people stand With open mouth to cateh tbe aroma of plutocratie con­ spiracy, even as a hound pup waiteth on the batcher for a hunk of liyefvp Gtocourse if. will move.in. a mysterious way,' its 'woStiefss Io' perform and will “propose” the regulation of everything from the unveiling of Adam’s tomb, down to the tenderest way to nurse a teething calf. The capitol city, during the session will be a liftle livelier. A few secret beer saloons and osh-cosh hand-overs can mark UD an improvement in their trade. Bitter tirades and corn-field elo­ quence will drive the cock-roacbes ont of the dome of the building, while the vultures of prey will fly on wish wings uncropped, graft will thrive like a boy-baby and the loud smelling stables of corruption remaiu filthy. Congress has been Spending its time pelavering around Soining a conglomeration of legal nonsense that neither the people or congress understand or care a darn for, and neglecting that which is vital. What we need is not a hundred new laws for the Supreme Court judges to slobber over and decide unconstitutional, but a few plain old bread and butter statutes to choke the wind off the infernal scoundrels who are keeping the toiling millions eternally hoo-doo- ed—one that is plain enough in. its construction-that we can march of­ fenders off to jail. The will of the people ought to be the law of the land, and its the duty of congress to build up every gap thru which crime escapes un­ punished. ' , Generally, our representatives jack-leg lawyers who have no in- terestjn the-masses whatever, but only strive to stand in with the moneyed world. They cry forthe people but vote for the plutocrat. The American voter is trembling on the very verge of an industrial revolution. Those who toil are but fighting a losing battle, wear­ ing omS -hands and heart and brains for a eiust that is ever becoming sm aller and more bitter. T o. say that the American working man will continue to endure the shack­ les of unjust legislation, is to brand him a spiritless coward. He will not endure it much longer, , and when his patience reaches its limit —when he grows tired of filling his belly with the corn husks and the dope of impartial aud intoler­ ant purchased legislation, he will write on history’s pages the- same epith that othernations’ have done when sorely vexed to nnreasoning madness. Sad NewsTo Lovers. Laws Lash. Science is just like an old settle­ ment gossiper, and never seems at ease, without kicking up some sort of gay thunder about something or. other. Yousee TheJohn Rocke­ feller Institute wasn’t satisfied in tinkering with science till it could graft a sheep’s tail on the end of a politician’s nose and make it grow or breed the growl of a bull dog onto a fellow’s snoring apparatus and cause his snoozing to scare every burglar out of town, but Mr. and Mrs. Science recently took a search light and went foraging for disease germs. And don’t yon think that medlesome old couple went right onto young ladies buss ing machines and discovered that on the roseate lips santers two and fro like a lion in a cage, the dread­ ful disease germs flourishing a skull And cross-bones, trying to keep the young Adams scared out of Fden. According to these learn­ ed old, harpies fairest maid is load­ ed to the muzzle with disease mi­ crobes, and the : reckless Jasper who dares to browse about her lips absorbing the sanctified honey-dew of her affection, is bartering the chanceB of an untimely death for the estatic ynm-yum that is never out of season. But blame my bro gaus, if I don’t bet a pint of meas- el tea against your granny’s wood- en-leg, that this -flapdoodle bluff game won’t pull worth a whoop. The fellows will just keep on gath­ ering peaches off the same old tree. Now we see wher Mr. Germ has an eye for business by selecting theorogebudjyips^ place, and we don’t blame him for bis choice, but we had rather not have learned where his play place is. It would seem more like a lover’s picnic if a fellow could swoop down on a pair of ruby lips working like a patent clothes wringer and gobble up wild honey in great hunks without grim death threatening to come bucking down the pike and ride astraddle of our pansy bed. Now the scientific noodle-gobblin’ who will waddle about with his compound micro­ scope peeking into the tuti-fruti of the soul for angle worms, ought . t o be led eleven miles beyond no­ where and have the eternal bees­ wax flammed, out of his carcass with a Back of angers. We some what hesitate to nail up our opin­ ion on the gable end of science, but we don’t believe its little tale of woe. A Kiss all walloped in dis­ ease germs, great'Gehosephat, aud Sal Gibbons! It’s Nature’s remedy for all the ills that flesh is heir to. To thunderation a straddle, with an old owl-eyed Octrich who would advise sponging the blossoms off a kiss before it is gathered off the tree: When a fellow gets an oppor­ tunity to buss a corn-led beauty with a breath sweet as honey-dew, he’s goin’ to chauce the cold and silent tomb, if necessary for one gay gallop on the streets of Flysian ITelieve it was one of the old Prophets who said if kisses were gathered on the installment plan, that they would not only restore a lost appetite and cure cold feet, but they would tone up the whole system and make the . blood sing thru the veins like a heathen playing a giant jews-harp. He also advised lovers to avoid violent collision and not smack their mouth like hitting an empty sugar-barrel with a green bull Mde- He fur­ ther declared that this way of chasing a girl over the furniture and around the eorncrib like try mg to rope a young jersey cow and spinking one on at. random, had no more tonic effect on the human system than shaking ahog skin at a hungry man. Next thing we know our local quarantine officers will be perched around the lovers’ camp ground like greedy buzzards over a carcass wanting to disinfect every inch of their romantic race track from Dan to Bethsheba. It’s getting so we are almost afraid to go to sleep for fear science will discover that we are a brass gizzard whangdoodle and feed us two bushels of tin canB and a mile of barbed wire fence. Science, you son of a gun, get thee behind me, and I’ll send Susanner after thee some big con; venient season. Poultry Show In February. Statesville Landmark. Monday.

Last Thumday - he decided to take the honey and a- boutdark began the task. To his astonishment he found a continuous- lineof honey comb eight-feet in length, and. most of it filled with a good quality of honey. He sent borne for buckets and saved it ,all.

The little burg of two years ago is trying to put on modem city airs— graded school building, electric lights, etc. But what appeals to an old Tar Heel like me most is this delightful climate and its everlasting green—this beautiful Indian river, teeming with its winged tribe, its big fish, alligators, sharks, mosquitos and sand flies thrown in for good measure. Have had some fine duck and bird shoot­ ing, also some right good fishing, but have not had as good success yet with hook and line as I had two years ago. But I’m on the job to the finish. Mr. John F.

On the contrary it delights to see them spend their money. The good spender is a use ful citizen. The tight-wad is an undesirable citizen. The rich man or woman who lets loose money every day is doing something for his or her community, for the mo­ ney so let loose at onoe takes its natural course through all the va­ rious channels of trade. We have in mind an incident of high life in New York as related by a corres pondent of The Baltimore Sun. He says that at the Plaza Hotel, one little boy his two roomsand a bath for his own use at a cost of $25 day. Iu one he 6leeps and the other is his nursery. The orders were that the rooms should be stripped of all unnecessary furni ture, and even the carpets and fur niture were taken out to insure uncontaminated air. Another child in the same hotel has a suite of the same size at the same cost. He is there with'his mother from Lon don, wheie Lthey live, although both are Americans. She has one room in the hotel for her—clothes alone. Theiwalls are lined with wardrobes—one for her evening gowns, one for furs, another for street costumes and so on—and one side of the rtom is piled high with hat boxes. These and other rich people of the same sort are doing their part toward the suppression of hard times. W hattbis country needs is more rich spenders and fewer misers. When Hetty Green was trying high life in a Hew York ho­ tel (we believe it was this same Piaza) for a few months, the whole neighborhood smiled with prospe­ rity, but when she quit and went back to housekeeping, the panic came on. We do net mean to say that she was responsible for the panic, but she helped the Hew Yrork money market during her ex perimental hotel life. Let the rich live high. We are an advocate of extravagance on part of those who can afford it.—Charlotte Chronicle. A Girl’s Wild Midnight Ride. To warn people of a fearful forest fire in the Catskills a young girl rode horse­ back at midnight and saved many lives. Her deed was glorious but lives are often saved by Dr. King's New Discovery in curing'ung trouble, coughs and colds, which might have ended in consumption or pneumonia. "It cured me of a dread­ ful cough and iung disease,” writes W. R. Patterson, Wellington, Tex., ‘‘after four in our family had died with consumption,: and I gained 87 pounds." Nothing so sure! and safe for all throat and lung troubles. Price 50c. and $1.00. Trial bottle free. Guaranteed by all druggists. Feminine Ways. A girl at Benton played “post of­ fice” at a party one night and yelltd and shrieked and howled, ran behind the door and scratched a young man's face in seven places, tipped over the lamp, kicked a crack in the piano, and when at last the fellow kissed the top of her pink ear she fainted dead away and said she would never look another man in the face again. jThey led the bashful, gentle, modest, sobbing thing home and put her to bed, and the next day she ieloped with a lightning rod peddler who had a hare-lip and nine children. —Centerville, S. D., Chronicle. A Thought for a Week. What seems to grow fairer to me as life goes by, is the love and peace and tenderness of it; not its wit and cleverness and grandeur of knowledge, grand as knowledge is, but just the laughter of little children and the friendship of friends and the cozy talk by the fireside aud the sight-of flowers ai cl the sound of music,—JohnBichard Green. Gave Up Hope ‘I 6uffored five years, with awful pains, due to woman­ ly troubles,” writes Mrs. M. D. McPherson, from Chad- bourn, N. C. "They grew worse, till I would often faint I could not walk at all, and I had an awful hurting in my side; also a headache and a backache. . I gave up and thought I would die, but my husband urged me to try Cardui, so, I began, and the first bottle helped me. By the time the third bottle was used, I could, do all my work. AU the people around here said I would die, but Cardui relieved me.* Cardui WomaiftTonic For more than 50 years, Cardui has been relieving woman’s sufferings,’ and making weak women strong and welL During this-time, thousands of women have written, like Mrs. McPherson, to tell of ftfc really surprising results they obtained by toe use of this purely vegetable, tonic remedy tor women.

He smiled slightly, but said Celestials would keep them as souvenirs.. T More Biblical Matter. The earth which the children of men inhabit, is in possession of many myster­ ies brought into existence by Him whose presence , is upon every continent in every world in the universe at all times, yet. in­ visible to bis : population, and that the children of men will never have a knowl­ edge of those, mysteries while living in this world, vet if they: have success to obtain a residence, in a world where the angels'and . arc-angels reside, there to IiyC:. with the purest of the pure, : having in possession that which Christ promised to 'the.righteotis people, which may con­ tinue to an everlasting eternity, may then have a knowledge why the Lord of hosts made this world so mysterious. I would like to ,impress very strongly upon the minds of the children of men the obliga- them to fearGod and to keep.-'his com­ mandments as they are published in holy writ, that he will bring every work into judgment with every secret thing wheth­ er it be good or-whether it be evil. How becoming it is.for, the children of men who are brought into existence by the Omnipotent for a purpose known to Him, that they should live a righteous life. Job says our existence here on earth is like a shadow to be compared with the existence which will be given to us by God himself in that world as yet unseen by the living here on earth, and accord­ ing to the words in holy writ.

Baltimore Sun. Three million more men than women in the United States—the official census figures are not to be denied—yet there are still some per­ sons who never have been married. Here in Maryland, sad to relate, there are not enotgh, there_are not enough men to go round; but this doe3 not account for half the unat­ tached ladies. True, the widows annex more than their just propor­ tion, and a Maryland widow is almost irresistible; but it is a mystery how any man in Baltimore manages to remain single, for an eligible bache­ lor in this community is surrounded by so many pretty , girls that his heart must be made -of adamant to resist. Baltimore girls are so beau­ tiful that Nature naturally produces them in preference to ugly boys; but they are not born to waste their sweetness on the desert air In the olden days woman never told her love, but modern woman does not “let concealment like a worm i’ the bud feed on her damsk cheek.” She plants sofas in the front parlor, puts pink shades on the lamp and in summer hangs ham­ mocks oh the porches and trees. “Man proposes,” as the proverb saith, but woman paves the way. And sometimes man does not pro­ pose; that’s the pity of it. He drinks oceans of tea, takes up years of time and still sits silent on the sofa, like a bump on a log. Shall woman, then still stand on her pedestal, like pa­ tience on a monument? Marriage is woman’s chief business and mere man should not be allowed to inter-, fere with it. If he doesn’t take the infinitive, it is his own fault. Noweomesleap year, when, by right almost as ancient as Magna Charta, woman has the right to speak for herself. Not that she doesn’t do considerable speaking at other times; but now she can pop the question without talking all around the main point. Dilatory marrmust make up his mind to meet the issue. Hecannot take refuge in flight. There are not enough desert islands to hold all the old bachelors. ' He must grit his teeth and face the mus­ ic, Charge, maidens, charge! Let no.eligible man escape.

I meet in convention :Ih 1912 for the purpose ot organizing a fight ovejr a few federal offices, that a Democratic president “ might have to hand out after March 4, 1913!” If so, let's try and* decide before hand, whether we are Be- publicanB for pie, patronage and plunder; or Republicans for prin­ ciple, protection, and ptosperity, with a few grains of old time pa­ triotism thrown in for good meas ure. It we are; Republicans for “Revenue only” let’s not publish our shame to the world. Let’s meet in some dark corner and at night and draft a platform, pass some resolutions and put them in an euvelope and seal and file a why until after the election and swear every attendant upon our deliber­ ations to profound secrecy until after a Republican is elected, and then we can turn' loose and fight like “KU Blenny Cats” for the next four years. In conclusion, if Mr. Taft is not a Republican, let’s nom­ inate one who is, provided we can determine what a true Republican is, before the nominating conven­ tion meets; Let’s hunt up the old, blue back Bpeller and take a peep at the dog crossing the creek and seeing his shadow, drops the beef from its mouth in its pursuit of the shadow. E. H. Morbis. What TaiFt Said at Greensboro. Justice, in Union Republican. Ho man has been more persist­ ently misrepresented than Mr. Taft aB to what he said at Greens boro when he addressed the Re­ publican Convention. I satIn ten feet of him and heard, every word he Baid from the first to the last, and while I do not pretend to quote his exact words Iam sure I can give the substance and he not only did Uofsay what Brother.Harshaw says he did, but as a matter of fact he said just the contrary. Here is what he Baid' in substance: “It has been said you are not a party in the South, but are simply an aggregation of politicians gotten together for the purpose of holding the offices and controlling the pa­ tronage. ISow if this is so, I say to yon, that you would be a better fighting party if every office was filled by a Democrat. But I am glad to say this cannot be so in Horth Carolina for I see before me as fine a body of men as any State can boast of and I know that in the last election you cast over eighty-six thousand votes.” Free School Books. Mr.'Editor: With this short ar­ ticle I am done with this, diseuss ion. I hardly expected my friend Taylorto descend to such little personalities as filled his last ar­ ticle. Hor did I expect to be mis­ represented. I said nothingjbout the “Socialists making. Paupers” of those Kansas children, and he knows it. Every intelligent per­ son in the State knows that “free schools” were established primar­ ily for the benefit of those unable to educate their children, and Mr. Taylor knows that the State cannot tax all the people for free schools, and then exclude the children ol any class from attendance. The public schools are open for all the people, and there is no reason why I should be taxed for free schooler and then not get the benefits. While I am opposed to free books if the State taxes me to buy them, my children should have the same privileges as others; As for the resolution Mr. Taylor advises me to introduce in the next Republi­ can convention I wish to ■ advise him that I have never as yet been “ bored for the Simples.” Mr. Tay­ lor seems to think I wait until af­ ter the election to speak my senti­ ments.' I wish to advise him, that it seems that I am speaking my sentiments before the election in this instance, I maybe a coward,: but I have not shown it in this discussionneither have I descend -i ed to little "personalities In order to bolster up a weak case. .When­ ever the Republican party adopts the Socialists platform, I will no longer officiate with them—“ bolt­ ing again’’--I guess. Whenever all the people are taxed to pay the fiddler, All the people should be allowed to dance. What I have writ, I have writ, with nothing to take back and no apologies to make. E i H . M o r r is.

They are sometimes natural con­ sequences of parental pampering and other times they, happen just like a wart. . A dude can be made out of most any sotry brainless sou-ofiarrieh father. Any blubbering fool can follow Our instructions and finally blossom out into society a gradu­ ated, glprions;glas9 eyed, good-for- nothing dude. Dudes are young bucks who consider it very bad manners to do anything useful. They are so­ cial and financial grub-worms. A- dude is an empty place with clothes on. He is a thing that a dudene goes crazy over. You can take a dude and a dudene and put them together and figure up the result, and here’s your answer: “Nothing plus nothing equals nothing'.” A girl who would marry a dude would marry a poodle-dog if it wore breechesand walked with a cane. And yet lots of girls prefer that soft of a thing instead of some affectionate young fellow with brain and muscle who has hewn his' way to wealth and success through years of adversity.

Lit t l e Country G ir l . Clemmons News. HOW SIMPLL We have the word of a ' perfectly temperate and well-conducted citi­ zen for it that about eleven o’clock Sundaynight snow fell fast upon Charlotte out of a perfectly cloudless sky. Snow from a clear sky is even more unusual than rain. It could hardly have come from the brightly shining siars, so where did it come from, any way?—Charlotte Observer. What a simple question. The snow was blown from the mountains, of course. Several years ago, on a clear, cold and windy day -we saw snow falling with not a cloud to be seen, and it had blown from the Blue Ridge, a distance of forty miles. A year or two ago there was much talk of a cotton mill for Mocksville, a hosiery mill, a national bank, a sky-scraper in place of the old fire trap on the corner, a little park in place of the old court house, con crete sidewalks and numerous other things that we were to secure, Up to the hour of going to press, none of these dreams have come true. Suppose wetakeanew start, quit dreaming and go to work and make some of these things come to pass. Our town must furnish employment to her citizens, or soon we will have no citizens. Takethe case, gentle­ men, and render your decision. .W onderwhathas becnme of HiKi, didn't hear anything of him last week, always like toread his letters- Hope we cation of ’ the will hear from him this week, for we want to hear how Mrs. HiKi is getting along.

During the past year we have completed a handsome graded school building, costing nearly $7,000; a big up-to- date flour mill has been built and is now running full time, a new cotton ginning plant has been established, a hew hotel has opened up, and at least twenty-five or thirty new dwel­ ling houses have been built and are now in course of erection. Several more new buildings are to erected at an early date, and two or three new business houses are to be open I up soon. In connection with all these new enterprises, one of our leadingcitizens has purchased an automobile to be delixered early in the~8pring.

The papers one turn the electric curront onto j had a good deal to say about the his finger tips and watch ic gallop j jnatter, as was natural,- and ino3t of them remarked on the small sal­ aries paid ministers and sympa­ thized with Mr. Eaves. Now a long comes the North Carolina Chiistian Advocate and puts a different face on the story. The Advocate says the South Main Street congregation, of which Mr. Eaves was pastor,, has^ an elegant parsonage—a roomy, well con­ structed house,'with modern im­ provements. The pastor had this houBe rent free, of course,-and for a number of years the charge paid an average salary of §900 a year. Last ,year Eaves received $950 and it is presumed he would have re ceived the sarnie this year. He has a wife and two children. Of course $950 a year isn’t a princely salary but there are numerous preachers, and many other folks, too, who would consider themselves well fixed to get that salary and a house rent free; and certainly a man with a small family can live on that in »%omfort, even in these days of high priced living. Hundreds of preachers in this State have lived paiti their debts and reared and educated families on smaller sala ries. YFhile not contenting that $900 is enough for a preacher—al­ though itis more than some of them are worth—since hearing the Advocate’s ,evidence The Land mark is convinced that sympathy was wasted on Mr. Eaves.

If an editor fight tor a principle, say before a party convention, because he is honest in his belief that it is right, and the convention not only fails to endorse it, but adopts something that is antithical to his conviction; and he is convinced that it was adopted as a matter of policy, he cannot be sincere if he deserts his belief and supports jt. Moreover, he cannot be honest if he does so. Hecan hardly maintain his own selfrespect if he remains quiet and lets it go without vigorous protest.

JANUARY. 31 1912. “Western Fever:” Its Canses and Cure. Chariotte Observer. By tie New York StateAgricultural So­ ciety a communication has been address­ ed to the press of the State which has almost an equal bearing upon conditions there and here. The letter deals with the proneness of farmers in the Eastern half of the country to let themselves be luredeffafterthemuch inferior advan­ tages now offered by the West, seductive literature by the ton contributing to this end. “They go,” it says of the victims, "Co raise crops thousands of miles away from their markets. They go to buy land at staggering prices, to pay $1,500 an acre for orange lands, while oranges in Iars Angeles may be selling at five eents a dozen. To buy apple lands in Colorado at $3,000 an acre, when New York State grows more and better apples than all the Western States together. To buy lands the value of which is dependent upon water they may never get, or the titles to the rights of which are involved.” The letter, adverting to loud Western boasts about water power,' mentions the fact that New York State has more ac­ tually developed water power than the whole Western aggregation combined and an equal amount which has not been de­ veloped yet. Itissim ilarly shown that In producing such commodities as pota­ toes, hay, buckwheat, butter, eggs and poultrv-no Western State can remotely compare with New York. Lastly, .that the New York farmer has enormons mark­ ets at hand, while the Western farmer is separated by continental distances and high freight rates from his. •j A comparitively exhibit more or less like this might be made by almost any or the Atlantic or Southern States, the Southern States most particularly. ITiero is a great deal in the undoubted fact, first of all, that if people who go West had only worked half as hard at home as they find themselves compelled to work under Western conditions they would have fated twice a s . well But those people very seldom did anything of the kind. The very plenty and abundance of.-natural opportunity at home-nufitdted ^against such exertions. Moreover there was, and unfortunately to some extent still is, a deterrent from conventional considerations one side which did not exist on the other. Manyayoungman who at home had never done any heavy manual labor in his life and would not do so even after a Western experience went out West , to toil under deGert suns and in winter blizzards with irrigation problems and other diffi­ culties which might after much hardship permit him *o raise apples or beans.- In the West he takes as a matter of course exertions beyond any he would dream of making in the SouthorEast. Ocuwionally some of his number still go West. Why will he not devote his efforts to the far better endowed farming at home? Why, for that matter, will not the discontented Southern farmer expand at home some part of the energy and intelligence which he knows or should know will have to be expended, on the root-hog-or-dle principle when he goes out West? The West, its really attractive open­ ings now quite pre-emtped, benefits enor­ mously beyond its deserving by circum­ stances like these. Its advertising ener­ gies, which originated in the days when it had genuine attractions to offer, have multiplied in proportion as those attrac­ tions have declined. No wonder, there­ fore, that a considerable tide still sets from States whose, actual resources are far less developed than are the resources of most Western States. But, over and beyond all such special considerations, we incline to believe that mankind's an­ cient impulse Westwardis the most pow­ erful factor of all. Man migrated~ftom Asia into Europe and from Europe across the seas. Since he migrated into Ameri­ ca there has ever been in him the im­ pulse to push farther West, not from West to East; and this , instinct is natur­ ally stronhest when he seeks land for cul­ tivation or grazing, as his forefathers did. His course has always been toward the setting sun. Generally speaking, he bet­ tered his condition when he moved, that is, so long as there was a frontier to be pushed farther ahead. The point we would make is that a frontier no longer exists, that East and West have met on the borders of the Pacific, that because of the continuing impulse Westward the West not only has been highly developed in proportion to its resources but develop­ ed intentively at the East’s expense. An instinict origionally sound and justi­ fied by experience has outlived, after the manner of all Instincts, the conditions which brought it about. This, therefore, Is fundamental handicap in relation to the West Our people get “Western fever, just as they, get !“Spring fever.” 18 a call of the wild, often prevailing them not only irrespective of reason HS? l,};ormation but even against reason- r~ e dictates of the plainest kind; "Wes I?® fever,” exploited by Western rail- £?®ds and land agents for all it is worth, ^ fe w ttttT fc tt Sto, comparison made by theNeW'York ^n1cultUral Society indicdtas-one method whereby fhig can be ^done.. NUMBER, 30 A Story Worth Reading. Dick Naylor, in Home and Farm. It’s awful tough, and that’s no joke, it’s terribly rough, and that’s no hoax. Here I am hiding out in a remote corner of J- county-Ju order to keep out of the grasp of Dallas peace officers! Oh, it’s bad, and that’s no dream. , In­ deed it’s sad, their cruel scheme! I never realized before boflr hard it is nowadays to get out of reach of railroad, telegraph and tele­ phone lines. It’s a difficult thing to do, let me tell -you. J ust try to escape once from the searchlight of the constabulary if you 'don’t be­ lieve it. . Even away up here in this semi- mountainous dark corner of Texas I cahfaintly hear the scream of the locomotive over on the Push and Bush railroad eight mile9 a way. It gives me the cold creeps whenever it blows its harsh, stri­ dent whistle. Ob, bow it grates upon my overwrought nerves! - It seems to be tattling to the officers, telling them where I ’m hiding. Theoldfarmer andhis wife with whom I am temporarily- living un­ der the pretext of spending my va cation in “a lodge in some vast wilderness far from the maddening crowd’s ignoble Btrife,” seem to be growing suspicious of me. I acci­ dentally overheard the pldy man— Uncle Jim, I call him, because ev­ ery boy around here calls him Un­ cle Jim —say to thaold lady—Aunt Lindy, I call her, because ^every­ body elBe says Aunt Lindy—says Uncle Jim to Aunt Lindy: “Say, Lindy, Bev you noticed anything pecooliar about- our new boatdeiSfe; “N-o,” says Aunt Lindy, sorter slow like, “I haven’t noticed any­ thing pecooliar about him in per tickler, ’eept he has a way o- sort­ er mumblin to hisself like a feller talkin’ in hits sleep. I ’lowed may be he was one 0’ them theater ac- teirs an’ was jest repeatin’ bis part 0’ some play or nuther. Hev you seed anything strange about him, oldinau?” ‘Well, yon jest bet yer wool stookin’s, I hev.” “ What on airth was it? He aint got smallpox nor dydryfoby, hope.” “ He may hev ’em both-, fer all I know, an’ thet new-fangled disease I hear ’em talkin’ erbont—I b’leve- they calls it pilegrify—-throwed in fer good measure. W’y, when he’s off by hisself he’s all the time a singin’ the fbolishest little ole song you ever heerd tell uv. I was lis­ tenin’ to him yestiddy when he didn’t know anybody was erbout, an’ I kinder caught on to the song. It goes like this, as fer as I could ketch it: “I drapt; the baby in the dirt, I axed the baby did it hurt, An’ then the little baby said; A-wow! A-Wow! A wow!” “ Fer the land’s sake, old man! What do you know about that?” exclaimed Aunt Lindy. “I don’t know nothin’ a tall err bout it more’n I’ve done told you. Ef there’B any more verses to his sisng Ldidn’t ketch ’em. He jest kept on singin’ them words over an’ over sorter like he was in a dream.” “ What the creation ails tber feller, ole iaan, do you reekin? ’ . “Savch me, Lindy. I swan I ctunno.” _ Kind reader, I will not keep you in suspense any- longer. I’ll frank­ ly-tell you all about my “ pecool­ iar ailment,” as my good old host and hostess call it. Last May my wife and little daughter^ Helvetia, went on a vis­ it to the wiilds of Arkansas, While at Stephens with their re­ latives, the Tysons, Helvetia learn­ ed a-ditty trom her" little cousins. Jessie May and Yivian Glenn Ty it*£ks the same simple,-silly “I dropped the baby in the dirt, I asked the baby did it hurt, And then the little baby said: A-wowi A-wow! A-wow!” VVell. when Helvetia came home she sang that silly little song to us. As utterly idiotic as Jt- is, there seemed to be something infectious about it, for our next ‘door ^neigh­ bors, tbe Stones became infected that same evening. . Little Martha Stone caught it first, and we could hear her child­ ish voice, keyed up to its highest pitch, singjng: “I dropped thebaby in the dirt.” Buby Stone, John Stone, Papa Stone and Mamma Stone succumed in rapid succession to the insidious little song just imported from the jungles of Arkansas, and way up into'the night we could hear the silly strains floating out npon the summer air, . The following day was Sunday and Papa Stone didn’t have to go to work; so he proceed­ ed bright and early to torture Iiis neighbors by bellowing in his deep bass voice: .. “I dropped the baby in the dirt.’’ As nobody witbiu two blocks could possibly sleep when big old fat Papa Stone’s calliope voice is in action, the whole Stone family were soon out of bed assisting; the old man in tormenting his neigh­ bors with the Btory of the unfortu nate baby. Not satisfied with their yocai torture, the old man opened the piano and improvised a one- finger accompaniment as a sort of finishing touch to theeiuelty. Oh, it was fierce! Horribleas the situation was, myself and family were drawn of-Ji— county momentarily vex peering to see a sheriff and con­ stable ride up to Unde Jim’s gate and |all for me. If they do I shall be compelled to sing them: “ lfdropt the baby in the dirt, Iakked the baby did it hurt, Aiid then the little baby said l A-wow! A-wow!. A-wow! m- Ip .the vocal disturbance and -we: M found ourselves involuntary acces­ sories as it were, to Stone’s strep* ous efforts at disturbing the peace; for we; top began to howl: “ I dropped the baby in the dirt.” Yery soon we could hear the dis­ turbing sounds floating serenely out from all the other houses : in the neighborhood. In sheerdesperationI grabbed my hat and told the family I bad an important engagement down at the office. I boarded the next street car. As I dropped a nickel into the conductor’s palm it recall­ ed dropping the baby in the dirt, and before the impulse could be cheeked I began singing the silly words of the Arkansas jingle. As I took my seat several IadiSs changed theirs to the other side of the car, and a man on the platform asked the conductor : ‘ ‘ What ails old Dick this morning!” “Booze!” was the laconic, but wholly erroneous reply. Although Strnggliag hard to keep quiet the irresistible impulse , to entertain the other passengers with the story of the baby’s fall overmastered me, and before alightiing from the car two polipemen warned me to either go back home and go to bed or they’d put me where my vocal mu­ sic wouldn’t disturb the public. Beturning quickly home, I has­ tily packed a^grip and fled. So J A MaU Order Deal. W i have been an instant be­ lieve^ in trading with home mer­ chants. You can see what you buy,|get what you want, and cause a IaTger circulation of your money at home. One of the most StrikJng and pointed illustrations of thg ad vantageof buying at home is given in the following, copied fromithe Sample Case. It is an interesting story: Dpwn in Oklahoma the other day a map went into a store to buy a saw. I He saw the kind he wanted and asked the price. It was $1.65 the dealer said. “ Good gracious,” said the man. “I can buy the same thing at Sears; Boebuck and company for *I.35|” , “That’s less than it cost me,” said the dealer, “ but I’ll sell it on the same term's as the mail order house just the same.” “Allright,” said the customer. “Toucan send it along and charge it tuiny account ” “Not on your life,” the dealer said. “No charge accounts. Ybn can’t do business with the- mail order house that way.

Where do you think you are? You’re in Ok­ lahoma and I’m In Chicago, and you will have to wait two weeks IofIbat saw.” Whereupon the dealer hung the saw on'the peg and put the money in his drawer. : “That makes tl,67,” he said. “ It has cost yoU 2 cents more: and taken you two weeks IdflgeY to get it than if you had ’ p a i^ T ^ ' price in the first place,” ; j ^ ’Y V T ’ ; Of CoariA^YYfYf WadesboroAiisonien.'

TERMS OF SUBSCRIPTION: One Year, in Advance........................50c Sis MontHi. in Advance......................25c WEDNESDAY. JANUARY 31. ’12 The Senatorial race has been set­ tled. Kitchin has announced that everything in sight belongs to him. Rabbit tobacco is 3 cents a pound. Why not cut out the genuine tobac­ co and raise the rabbit, as there. -is but little difference in the price. Weareled to believe that the News and Observer would like to see Billy Bryari defeated again this Somebodyhas accused Roosevelt of sawing six cord of wood before breakfast one morning recently. No wonder he is saying but little these days._____________ Not much over half of Davie’s cotton crop has been sold. If the farmers can hold their cotton a littlf longer, we believe they will get 10 or 11 cents for it. The Socialists claim that they will carry the fifth district this fall. The Democrats also claim it, but when the votes are counted we believe they will both be surprised. There is some talk of a mattress factory for Mocksville. We would be glad to see more factories come to our town. We need them, and they need us. IfBryan and Rooseveltshould be the presidential nominees this fall TheCharlotte Observer would be “between the devil and the deep blue sea.” "Are there any stores, hotels, liv­ ery stables, doctors, lawyers and factories in the town of Mocksville?” Yes, sir. James Henry, but the own­ ers seem to be trying to keep it a secret for some reason or other. Democratic papers, about this sea­ son of the year, tell tha people who the Republicans are goi 'g to run for office. According to their pro­ gram, Morehead is to be National Committeeman; Holton State Chair­ man, and Settle for Governor. Someof our Democratic editors who devoted much space to boosting Harmon a few months ago, have now declared for Wilson. Poor old Judson, his friends are deserting him like rats fleeing from a sinking ship. Wonderif the Peerless On<? had anything to do with this back­ sliding business? The CharlotteObserver thinks it would be a good idea to use the split log drag on the streets of Charlotte after the next rain. Seems that the street sweeper has been embalmed and laid away in that village. Our contemporary should welcome the dust alter wading around for the p? at month or two in sleet, snow, ice and mud. Some time ago we called on a cer- taih merchant and asked him to do some advertising through The Re­ cord. He toldushe didn’t intend to advertise any more in any paper. We remarked to him that if he stuck to that resolution it wouldn’t be long until the sheriff would do some advertising for him. He got mad. Less than two weeks ago he .filed a petition in bankruptcy, and. there will be some advertising done short­ ly by the referee or some one else. Moral: Do your own advertising and thus keep out of the clutches of the law. WORDS OF WISDOM. The Mountain Scout, published at Taylorsville, savs some mighty good things every little while. Here is one of Editor Babbington's latest: , "Men will take the liberty to tell you how to run.a paper, when; they would not think of hinting to the iherbhant hqw to conduct his stofe ior telithe preacher what to preach. They pay money for schools, and don’t know whether Johnny is learn­ ing tjie rule of three or how to hold » cigarette gracefully, but when , it comes to the newspaper, there’s Where they all get off. During the paist week a friend wanted to know Tghy we didn’t try and run a paper arlittle more along' the lines of how Christ would run a paper. We don’t know just how that would be. In the first place, if Christ was back on earth we don’t believe that He would go into the newspaper business* at all. There is mot an editor or a preaeher that could tell the truth for thirty days and stay in the com­ munity in which he lived. If our friend doubts this, let him try tell­ ing the absolute truth for just one week and see where he lights.” The above language is strong^ but there is much truth in it. The editor and preacher don’t lie, but thereare times in their lives when “silence is golden.” Who ever heard of an ed­ itor publishing the death of a mean man or woman, or telling how ugly the bride looked; how glad the peo pie were when a certain family .left town; or telling of an ugly baby, a horrible dinner, a miserable sermon, a stingy old scoundrel, etc. We are allowed to think such things, but we don’t dare publish them. Silence is indeed golden in a newspaper of; fice,-and prevents many funerals. Letter From Florida. Capron Camp Ferm. S t Lucie, Fia. Mr. Editor:—From the .above heading you will see I am stopping with ray ne­ phew, Mr. JoIm W. Davis, about a hund­ red yards from the East Coast Kailroad, and right on the National highway lead­ ing from Montreal, Canada, to Miami, Fla. Mr. Davis owns Camp Capron Farm, so named because on it is the jite where Camp Caprou was located during the last Seminole war, which took place in the years 1856 and 1857. The well that was built for the use of the troops, and by the way, the'only one walled with brick in this whole neck of the woods as far as your humble scribe knoweth. is - only few yards from the house, and is in as good state of preservation as it possibly could have been the year after " it was bui't. It yields an unfailing supply of as good water as can be found anywhere The site of the burying ground . is still ipointed out, but 55 fleeting years has ob­ literated all signs that the muffled drums sad roll has beat the soldiers' last tattob In company with Mr. Davis I took my first stroll this evening to look over this part of Florida’s farming industry, and to say I’m amply paid (but tired) express­ es it but mildly. Thesefields Ofthe Iu- cious pineapple; grape fruit, oranges, tan garines, bananas, and other fruits, with the trees clothed in theireverlasting green, is a sight I wish every friend of mine in Davie county could one time in life be­ hold. It’s said a full stdmach retards the working of the brain—and if my .Davie frifnds could have seen fthe amount • of good things I’ve wrapped myself around this evening, I’m sure they would excuse this effort. ,Myself and namesake, Ed. L. Jr., were weeding out pinea the other eve­ ning right.alongside the road when sonje upper tens came riding up; clothed; in their linen and fine toggery, just from the club house, and a beautiful girl in bloom ers, said: “Mister, can you tell us where this end of the road goes to." Ed, in that old characteristic drall of his said: “Mad­ am, I’ve been hanging up in ' that thar shack three long years, and if.haint gone no whar yit.” Will tell you of the club and its environs some time in. the sweet bye and bye. The wanderer from Davie, E .L . DAVIS. Cartner--Derrick. On Wednesday, Dec. 27, 1911, at the home of the brides mother, Mrs. S. C.

The dining room and parlor were beaii^ tifully decorated in green and white.' The bride wore a gown of white al batross and carried a shower boquet of white carnations. Her veil was fastened with narcissus. Only im­ mediate relatives and friends wit­ nessed the ceremony. Miss Carter has only lived in Abilene since Feb. 1910, but during her short, stay, she has won many friends bv her kind and loving disposition, Mr. Derrick is a prosperous young farmer and stoekmMi of White Cloud,. Kans., where he has prepared a home for his bride. Mr. and Mrs. Derrick frave a host of friends who wish them a long'and happy life. They will be at home at WhiteCldud after Feb. 1,1912.

NewtonNews, Sunday being another good rab­ bit bunting day, the hunter*: were abroad again with guns and dogs, A 'farmer here yesterday said that the hnnting on the last two Sun-* days beat anything be had ever known. Itw ashis opinion that the limited time for bunting under the new law was perhaps some­ what responsible, but if the open reason were ,six months long-, a good snow and plenty of rabbit tracks would doubtless prove too strong for these hunters. There is law about, breaking the Sabbath in this style, but it doesn’t cut 'much figure. Theroads weregettingsome bet. ter until the sleet and rain of Mon­ day hit them.

' In spite of our boasted progress we still have hooks and eyes with us, Everyman hopes some day, to become big enough to.bossthealjirm clock. Even if a word to the wise is suf­ ficient there are few who are willing to let it go at that. Some fellows use the same bowl in which to drown their sorrows and celebrate their joys. An “Even Break” not only doesn’t accumulate—it won’t even pay ex­ penses. The honesty of some consists of the fact that they won’tstealas long as they can borrow. The man in a‘ poker game who’s always claiming a misdeal never dqes that when his mitt looks like the money!
