02-FebruaryVOLUMN XIII. MOCKSVILLE. NORTH CAROLINA. WEDNESDAY. FEBRUARY. 7 1912. Better Dairies. Washington, D. 0. January 11, Realizing the need of the Sotith for more and better dairies and the large profits which can be made in that favorable region by dairym^i wh0 wjH fill the great demand' 6t the cities for the dairy products, Presideut Finley of the Southern Bailwayf Company following the custom of that company in further? in„ in every way the Kiowth and development of its territory, has equipped a Special Dairy Car, which, beginning with the, first of February, 1912, will be run over jheleagth and breadth ,of this great system, spreading the doc­ trine of more and better cows and, by means of lectures, demonstra­ tions and exhibits, doing every thing possible to develop and im­ prove the dairy industry along its lioeg in the Southeastern States. This Dairy Special will be under the direct supervision of Dr. C. M. Morgan, of Washington, D. C., the Southern Railway’s Dairy Agent. Dr. Morgan will be assisted by two regular dairymen in conducting the work, and from time to time the car will be occupied by dairy experts from the United States Department of Agriculture, the State Boards of Agriculture and from the Agricultural Btationa of the various States along the Sou* them Bail way, the plan being to have toe utmost co operation of all forces for the campaign which will inevitably result in larger profits and increased prosperity for Sou­ thern Dairymen through a better knowledge of their especial prob­ lems and how to meet them. The Dairy Special is. fitted, up with a complete farm dairy, every piece of machinery and apparatus necessary to the - economical pro­ duction of milk, cream, and butter having been installed under the direction of Dr. Morgan. There ViU be a separator, churns, testers sterilizer, Pasteurizing apparatus and exhibits of various kinds ot improved machinery for dairying Onthewallsof the car will be charts and large vie ws dealing with dairy subjects, Bhowxtig the funda­ mental pri Qciples oifjjreeding dairy leeding animaW, and care of dairy cattle and {pictures of fam­ ous animals in the dairy world. Ko feature has been omitted for Uistruction in better dairy ing. The Special will also have stere- opticon lantern and slides, permit­ ting illustrated lectures at the va­ rious stops by Dr. Morgan and the other experts who will accompany the car. Free testing ot milk brought to the Specicl will be an­ other impoj tant feature of the work by means of which practical advice teased on actual cdndit'dhs can given each man.' Cows will be examined and reported on and in­ structions as to their care given Advance schedules of the stops ^ili be prepared and full adver Usement given the train in the towns at which lectures and de monstrations are to take place. The press along the route will be kept Informed in advance and all pos­ sible publicity !Secured for the IieoeQt of the dairymen. It is exPected that large crowds will be Present at these stops and every thiug is being done ,to give thor­ ough attention to every detail of the work. * . Every man interested in dairying nany way should by all means 8 present at these free- lectures *»d demonstrations, to listen to the talks, to see the improved Machinery and l^bor saving de- V,ces and to secure advice on any Problem connected with the dairy 1Ddustry IIow dear to iny heart is the steady subscriber.

Every time one faction of the Democrats bury the hatchet anoth­ erfaction comes along and scratch­ es it up. Dr. Cook will not be the only Democrat to imagine he has dis­ covered the Xorth Pole after the next election.. The Democrats might endorse that $75,000,000 ilSteaP iu their platform if they are looking for a real paramount. Of course the Demoeratie farmer whothinks be was too prosperous can still vote the Democratic ticket and be eonsistent. While Mr. Bryan has 6aid he will not be a candidate again, he has also given his party to under- staud that he is not t but of poli­ tics. — , The Beidsville Eeview wantsi;to see Bryan and Boosevelt fig h tit out. The Beview should remem­ ber wlia£ Col. Bboiaevelt did for Judge Parkerl The next Democratic nominee for President will be selected just forty miles from Washington, but that is as close as he will get to the White House. Mr. Bryan has decided to turn over his cross of gold and crown of thorns to some other candidate. He probably found there were more thorns than gold connected with work. ADd now they say Congressman Gudger voted for ,the Sherwood pension bill because there are many ex-Federal soldiers living in his district. Isn’t that awful to be poked at a Southern Democratt Speaking of the Presinential possibilities, an exchange says if the Democratic party is defeated this time it will probably be be. cause it deservess defeat. Aud may the Democratic party again get what it deserves. The Governor of South Carolina says that if matters keep, up there »villJiave to be some more tnonu* ments erected to editors in that State. Evidently the South Caro Iina editore haven’t been saying nice things about. Governor Bleape. chi> Vsa messa^e bope and good ftom !fa. & j. Bodto Mill.

In a recent number of the Textile Manufacturers' JournaiI he he has the following to say ‘•AS an American cotton manu­ facturer, I am in favor of protec- tion—-not protection , for- revenue o n l y , bnt such protection as protect American manufacturing industries, in a substantial manner against foreign competition. % I am ia tavor of the American marketandoperative. uXaitt in favor of the merchant marine-tb float t^e American flag on every sea-to increase the con- sumption of goods jMade in Ame­ rica - “I am ln favor of the auce of such a protective tariff sys­ tem as has built up and made our country the richest and most pro­ gressive of all the nations. “ As an American cotton manh fecturer, I am opposed to any sys­ tem, of tariff that will tend to low­ er the wages of pijr operatives ap proaching the foreign wage scale, thus reducing the purchasing pow­ er of our laboring man, and there­ by deprive him of Iiving in a man­ ner becoming ancl befitting him as an American citizen, who, in my judgment, is incomparable to that of any other labolrer of the world. • .“A l a cotton manufacturer, there is only one element entering into the cost o f. my product 'over which I exercise any control and that is my labor. It is beyond my province or poorer to fix the cost of raw material, any of my supplies or findings or the rate of interest on borrowed money. Labor only therefore, will Buffej- a redaction; to meet a reduction; in the tariff. <“ Whence comes this call for reyisiori and f reduction in the tariff! . • :>t ' “ First, apparently from the poli­ tician, to redeem so called cam paign and party pledges. “Second, and; quit* largely, front the avaricious importer, in the hope ot doubling the voluuie of his business, and incidentally doubling his margin of profit.” ‘MSonsistencv" irr politics is jewel, and Borne :of our political friends, in Congress must view it as a gem of rare beauty and brilliancy I when on one day they can vote an additional subscription of fiity to seventy five millions of dollars to thepension fund and the next day show apparent willingness to make good this deficiency in the Treas ary by votiDg to reduce tbe tariff, thus wringing thg deficit irom the laboring and manufacturing in terests of our country. MFor nearly fifty years the peo pie of aiy" seetioDihave voted the ,Democratic ticket; secUonal issues and loeal conditions practically prohibited any other course. But these conditions are now eliminated so thai we can consistently and honestly vote according to our con­ victions for the man and the meas­ ured and not blindly follow party and^so-called party heredity. Al­ ready we can see the -parting of the ways,’ and m,ay the time be hastened when every vote in our country will be cast, regardless of party pledges or party allegiance, for the best interests of all the peo­ ple; Measure the man,, in the fu­ ture,. by the standard of statesman­ ship; scratch the political dema gOgue, and then,*- and not • until, then* will we .?return to the, house olF our fathers.? ; A Fool and His No man of wealth will travel in better‘style, than bumble John Jay McDevjtt,. who left last Friday afternoon in a special train for whfchjfhe paid §600 for New Tork ust talaee how it feels to be rich. To We sure that he is up to-date in every detail, McDevitt announc­ ed th«| he had engaged a special physician to make the tiip with him. Br, E. A. Sweeney will look after the health of McDevitt while on his journey and he received a big fee <br his service, Another -interesting announce­ ment of McDevitt’s is that he has offered f 100 to the crew for each five minutes they cut off the time between here and the ,Metropolis. The reason for this, McDevitt says is to have the experience of feeling just how fast rich men travel when they are in a hurry. Lehigh Val­ ley ofifcdalis were directed to tell the .members of their crew of the offer majde by McDevItt. Three cars will make up the spe ciai. There will be a' sleeper, a dining 0fur and a parlor car, At 1.15 o’clock, McDevitt left a hotel near the station and with tbe boys carrying his grips at once journey­ ed to the special train. Exactly at 1.30 tbe engineer turned on his {rawer and the journey was begun. At New York he will stay at one of the famous hotels and will at tend'a theater. He intends being very lavish with &ii tips wherever he goes. I McDcvitt’s trip comes as the re­ sult of winning^ a $1000 wager.

Mr. Taft is not only a Very able, but he is a very courageous man Hiseffort to extendthis civil ser vice list which wonld mean the taking out of polities of thousands of, Bepublican workers on the eve of a’presidential election, is alto­ gether to his credit as' an honest and a brave, map. One is remind ed by this acUon of Governor Cleve land—the bravest -man wno has occupied the executive chair; since Andy Jackson. ; President lif t is not a politician. ; He despised the methods and short cutB, the pal­ aver and insincerity so common to candidates. Boosevelt is i past master in the art of political man-, ipulation, and he may outwit Taft in the Convention but if so he will defeat a man whose shoes he is not worth to unloose. We took occas­ io n ^ say in these columns three years ago, that Boosevelt is not in the same class Witb Taft, in integ­ rity, dignity and down right abil ity and we have never wavered a moment in that opinion. There is strong opposition to Taft but so far as y?e can learn it is wholly oti account of patronage. The peoplj? of the country admire binij but unfcirtnnateiy the voice of the peo pie is not alwaj'S .heard id the Naj- tional Convention. Mr; Taft is a safe man because he is honest, and an'honest msin may be wrong in his jblicy and his;:doctirine, bnt if he is reasonable and will listen t$ adviice, thecohutry ia safe in his hanils.

Fourth Assistant Postmaster General Degraw urges the estab­ lishment of parcels post delivery on rural mail routes. The recom­ mendation is based on the fact that the expenditure for rural service is increasing much more rapid'y than the receipts; and the pareels-.post will provide much additional reve­ nue. During the psist year .the rural mail receipts were $7,570,- 000, while the expenditures were $37,130,000. For the present year there has-been appropriated $42,- 790,000 while it is uot expected that there will be any appreciable Dresses Out of Towels. Milday’s next gown will be sim­ ple of attainment and it will ac­ cord well with the household cur­ tailment due to the .,.high. cost of living, it was said at the exposition of coming fashions on display here by d ry goods trades papers. The bath-room, which supplied her bath robe (otherwise known as blanket cloth) coat, ubw will fur­ nish her dress. And the material in it will be turkish towels.

A Doment later I relented; I would I the tears come into iuy wife’s She told me that She bad Hiy promised a half dozen peo- > that Bbe would take their cow IifBhe didn’t take that of some ■other person. Sbe maintained that four honor was at stake. That ap- Ipeal struck me in the solar plexus. !Honor is a good thing to have in fthe family. I bad inherited a good [itook ot it Irom my father and I mother and I would neglect my E business and religion in order to [ keep it bright. So I told her to go on with nego- I tiationa for a cow. Now, we didn’t I wsiit to adopt a tuberculosis cow [ into the family, so my wife had to [ go back over the field again to find out if the cows had been “tested” by the government, for the gov­ ernment ig very kind to cows and horses and hogs and will doctor them free of charge when they are lick or will “dope” them with something to prevent them from getting sick. Some of the owners of the cows that had been candidates for en­ tering into our family circle had been tested, but as a rule they possessed objectionable features which caused them to be rnled oui of the game, Other owners offer­ ed to procure a health certificate irom the family physician, paste U on the cow and make it a part of the contract, The search for a good family cow went on. It be­ came the talk of the town. We made inquiries of the differ­ ent breeds, especially with regard to their merits as milk cows. My wife had always wanted a Jersey. She found a little yellow Jersey that she thought would just suit k*r. She milked this cow Bevcral limes, bringing some of the .milk home each time. The price was ®i>0) but she hesitated about pay­ ing that, or rather I did, until some one told her that the yellow Jersey was more subject to tuber­ culosis than any other breed. Some hmy have thought that I was in 80Jie way connected with -having tjiis information conveyed to her, hut I don’t remember of having h|$ anything to do with it. We hjully settled this question like J l did that of the pedigree, con Cfhded to buy a business cow, one that would give milk and ■ then 8>ve some more milk. % this time we had proceeded for enough to settle the question aI to how much we would pay for a#ow.

But she was very careful. Sever al weeks had passed and we' had not bought a eow. I had caution­ ed my wife strictly to buy nothing but a gentle cow. It always re­ quires the assistance of a man to milk an obstreperous or wild and Vicious eow. Besides a vicious eow always has a demoralizing Bi­ sect on the family, especially on the head of the family. Some fifteen or twenty cows had been examined and mist of them milked, for test purposes, ofcourse but none seemed to exactly ; suit my wife bnt- one, and she had not been tested, and they wanted $75 for her and positively refused to sell her at that. About that : time the “circulator” of one of the leading city papers, a neighbor and friend who had kindly deliv­ ered ns the paper on a credit for four or five months at a time, caine to our assistance and suggested that we pnt a “ want ad” in the paper he was representing. I’m a news- paper man myself, I used to own ona—or rather it owned me. I could make one all the way from the type ••case’’ to the Dick mail rr. • I mastered the art and then tumbled over in the “last ditch.” I knew the valne of advertising— to the owner of the newspaper. So I qniekly advised my wife to- in­ vest 25 cents m a “ want ad.” She did so, and when the newspaper came out that evening the adver tisement was there, I didn’t re­ cognize it at first, bat when. I saw the street number of the house and the telephone nnmber I was sure that the “ad” was origfnally in­ tended to be our own. This is the way it read; WANTED—To buy a two-story cow, mnst be fresh and gentle; bonse; must be close In and looated on Bouth Bide; Jersey preferred, but vi ill consider other breeds. Address-----St.; phone No—. Of course we did not expect any returns from such a conglomerated mats of words as that. The print­ er bad evidently got our advertise­ ment mixed up with Lhafc of some man who wanted to boy a house. But we were mistaken. The next morning the phone began to ring before breakfast. People who had cows to sell had deciphered: that advertisement. Perhaps they had sat np all night to do it. They might also have phoned to the newspaper office for" the key to open it. But they had cows to sell and they began to fire npon our ramparts early the next morn ing. My, how that phone did talk. I had no idea there were so many cons in the city. . How the phone stood it I never can tell. The cat took refuge in the cedar. The dog slunk out to the barn. I barricaded myself iti the library and began-.reading Dante a “Inierno.” My wife was the only man on the place that restrained her presence of mind. She stood at the phone, like the “ boy on the burning deck,” eooly taking names descriptions of as calmly as I would go dowu to the bank to deposit a check. She was gone-about two -hours and when she came baek she showed more excitement than she had at any time during the cam­ paign. “ Well,” she began as soon as she entered the house. “ I have read of cows and: heard of sows, but I’ve never seen one before un­ til this morning.” I was glad of that, for when yon are buying a cow for your wife and get ione to exactly Buit her you are usually doing two people a favor; the one yon buy the cow from and the. one you buy her for/ She brought some of the milk home. A half­ inch of cream had .‘‘raised” on it since it was milked. In the ex­ citement of the moment I thought it was duriag that morning while she was parrying it home. I was as much elated as she was. but there were some other things whieh I Lad sworn to myself to have settled. Iwanted to know who was going to feed and milk the cow provided she would; buy her. I-asked my wife what 'price they wanted lor the Cow^ Bhe said $70. Tiiat shocked me, some The utmost limit had been $60, and I called my. wife’s attention to this agreement. “ Yes,” she said, “ bnt this is the best cm*.; in.the pity.”: “How do yon know?” I asked. ‘ ‘Mrs. Smith told me so,” she replied. Mrs Smith was the wom­ an who owned the cow. Now, I know of a great many Smiths, and know of many others- I would as soon take their word as any other breed of people. So I IetTt go that way becausa I want­ ed the name oi owning the best, cow in the city. I told my wife that I would take the. $60 I had in the bank and the $101 had in my pocket with which I had intended to buy a dog and we would buy the cow,- provided she Would satis­ fy me she would not milk the cow herself under any circumstances, for my Wife^s health- is not good and she has to take care of me and I didn’t want her to divide her at­ tentions with a cow. We finally decided to-hire a boy to feed; water-aud milk the cow. I sent out and secured the services of a notary public to help fix up the papers.- In the first place we had the boy to make a sworn affi­ davit that he- would milk the cow regularly,; feed and water her-,as often as necessary, and under no circumstances permit anyone else else to do these things. Hext my wife made a similar affidavit that she WODLD NOT under any con­ ditions or circumstances feed-, wat­ er or milk the aforesaid cow. Then I offered to make an affidavit tbgt I WOULD HOT feed,-water milk the cow, bhhm y% !f^r^^# ed that it was not necessary; and we would just as wdl save the no- tary’s fee. My wife I: then stepped to the phone and told, Mrs, Smith to street numbers, descriptions i» send the cow along. She hadI al- faSA bnrned out. ready bargained for her condition­ ed onJ my'consent. In a Short time a colored hoy"brought the" cow, I was summoned out in the back yard to see the new addition to the family. I saw a brindle cow. Ic occurred to me that I had not asked about the breed. We had bought a common brindle cow, I thought, and it took my dog money to doit. But my wife’s heart was full of gladness. Her eyes shone forth their joy. Just then an old farmer stopped to sell us some .po­ tatoes. He hadn’t learned that we had paid out all .our money for a eow, I asked him if he knew what breed the cow was. He an Swerod unhesitatingly, “She’s a Guernsey.” I didn't let oq to the old farmer, bat my heart leaped with gladness, I knew we had a cow, not one of thoto common old brindle cows, nor one that had a pedigree pasted in a book, bnt a cow with “blood” in her and reputation for genera­ tions part of being good dairy cows A few more woids and this story is closed She gi ves three and one- half gallons of milk a day, and it is as rich as cow’s milk ean .be. Therh are signs, however, of in surrectiou against the affidavits made. My wife insists on sitting dowu vtsry close to the cow ■ while ShdTs being milkhd, and she takes entire charge of the milk as it comes from the.cow, a provision I neglected to provide against in the affidavits.

Those of our contemporaries who spoke slightingly of the ground hog have taken it all back.■I' ■' —----. - .TTTT= 'it Is told us for a truth that a tank cifJohn Standard oil froze on the sidetrack during the recent cold weather. AU indications point to a prosper­ ous year just ahead of us. With cot­ ton going up, eggs five cents apiece, factories resuming operations, pres­ idential candidates mnltiplying, and the woods full of candidates for .va­ rious offices, there is no reason why we shouldn’t prosper. The Farmers’ Union is a good or­ ganization, but it must keep out of politics if it is to accomplish any- tlnhg. vWe notice that a few papers are boosting President Alexander, of the Farmers’ Union, for State Treas­ urer;. ..The Union, in our opinion, heeds Dr.JAlexander’s services far more than the State needs him to fill a political office. Should he run for office on any ticket, of course he would have to withdraw from the . Union, or at least that is the way we understand the matter. His resig­ nation would be a heavy blow to the Union in this State, for Dr. Alexan­ der is one of our ablest men. THE STORY OF THREE LETTERS. Theother daywe received three letters, or to be more exact, two let­ ters and a postal, card through the mail. We rarely ever publish such letters, but we believe these three to be worthy of space. They show the sorrows and joys of an editor’s life, and what he has to contend with. The firstonereads like this: Winston-Salem, N. C. Dear Sir:—Find money ordet for $1. This will help you some. I like the home paper fine. I don’t want to be.without it. Thenext letter is not so encourag­ ing, and reads on this wise: Cana, N. C., R. 2. •Dear Sir:—Enclose you will find postoffice money for 25 s. for my subscription to your paper for six months. I subscribed for the paper twelve months, but I do not want the paper any longer than 6 months. It’.Sipqgood. ThOthird letter made us feel bet­ ter,- afteiv recovering from the aw­ ful shock caused: by reading the se­ cond dh4. It wasshortand to the point. It reads: ' .: Harmony, N. C„ R I. Editor of Record:—Please send me yoht paper for one year. Vfe withhold the names of all the writers for the benefit of the Cana fellow, who probably thinks The Re- Coip-Will have to stop since he says its good. But not so, beloved, we shall continue to issue this rag of freedom just the same. We shall migs your fair iiame on our books, and- the 25: cents we loose would pay for half a dozen sticks of crooked cotd word, or a Davie Record calen­ dar, but we will manage to get a- long some way without it. Ife TO THE IREDELL FOLKS. Statesville Landmark. A correspondent of The Landmark writing in the last issue of the pa­ per, asks for a law that will tend to eliminate a part at least of the roam­ ing; worthless dogs that are a nuis­ ance,_ a menace and an economic loss. If Irddell folks want a dog law they should speak up and say so and now - is the time to speak,. before candi­ dates for the Legislature are elect­ ed.-:: The average politician has al­ ways been—and most of them are yet-^-under theimpression that the average voter thinks as much, or Knorel Ofhisdogashe does of his family and that any legislation re StriCtingttie privileges of the dog woiild destroy the author of the re­ gulation and ‘‘hurt the party; Formerly there was foundation for this belief, but that day has passed. The Landmark has reason to believe that a large , majority of the best claw of citizenship in Iredell is hear­ tily in favor of a,dog Iawi and that others who may be in doubt would approve it once itwaaput in opera­ tion But thepeOple will have to leadin this matter if they want something-done. Members of the Legislature do not usually strike out on new lines unless they are assured there is a demand for the thing sug­ gested. If Iredell folks want a dog law, write to The Landmark,. or. send word, and say so. Speak up, ladies and all, and say how you feel about it. -• The ladies are interested, because the worthless dogs are. a menace to the poultry industry of the county, which is worth more than a million dogs, and they can help on the cause if they will. If you want a dog law., now talk. [The Record has been advocating a dog law for Davie county, and has succeeded in making a few of its subscribers mad- as a result. We believe Davie should have-a dog law, and a tax high enough to eliminate all the worthless dogs in the county. The conventions this fall should nominate men who are in sympathy with the sheep instead of the dog. Such men would have the support of the majority of the voters. Ed ] Encouraging.

A Washington D. 0. dispatch of February 2nd, says: Gilliam Grissom^ secretary of the Republican state executive commi'tee, stopped in Washington for a few hours tonight on his way from New York. Mr. Grissom said that in his . opinion Thomas Settle would* be the Republican candidate for governor and that fie would be elected.

Flour, made from grains of wheat Is one of the most important products of oiir country, and most of our people know what good flour is when they see it, but some,can tell better what is good, better or best when they taste it; and y$t there are fnany who do not know how-the dif­ ferent grades are produced or •fvhich is thd best,-most wholesome and nourishing. Before the day of roller mills, when there was no flcur in this country except what was made on the old burr mills, we had some good flour and much that \was not so good. Thegood flour of those days was made from the best wheat raised in this country and ground on the best mills we had and by the best millers. When all these requirements were at hand the flour was branded "Family,” or "Super­ ior.” and commanded the best prices. But how is it now? Since roller mills have been introduced into our country there are more grades .of flour than there are grades of wheat used. A miller now can use only one grade, of wheat and make three or four grades of-flour, all pronoun­ ced good, but differing more in color and price perhaps, than in quality, and cqn- sumers.differ in their opinions as to which is the best. Whenrollermills were first introduced-they made only one grade of flour and that is what is now called straight, or whole grain flour, and it was very good flour. But men were not satis­ fied with what most persons thought was as good as could be made out of pure wheat. So some went to work to find out how to improve on what was thought to be as good as could be produced. How did they proceed? ESd they try to find a better grade of wheat, or a grade that would produce a better grade of flour? If they tried this it failed. Did they try to, get superior machinery? No doubt they did, but,what was on hand was near e- nough to perfection that the grade of flour was very little if any at all improv­ ed. What then eould be. done? The on­ ly thing they could do was to separate the product of the wheat grain. It was known to men who operated the old burr mills that some parts of the product Of the wheat grain was whiter than other parts of the same grain, but their bolting machinery was not so arranged that they could conveniently make two grades "of flour out of the same grain of wheat, and if any of them ever undertook it, to any extent, I never heard of it. But by the roller process and the present system; of bolting it was found to be a very easy matter to-separate the whiter parts of the flour contained in the same grain of wheat, from the parts that are not quite so white, and by making this separation they produced a whiter 'grade of flour which they call "Patent.” or “High Pat­ ent,” or some other high sounding name to let the people know that it was Some­ thing different from the common or straight flour. Now what is left after this whiter part is taken out must not be called straight or whole grain flour. It may be called second grade or by any other name desired, but in truth it can­ not be called straight or whole grain flour. So we. nave at least three grades of flour, straight, patent, and second or whatever you chose to call it, all from the same wheat ground up in the .same way. sim­ ply by separation. Now which of these is the best? Some claim that the patent fs first quaiity and therefore the best, while others who are very good judges and ought to know, say that good straight or whole grain flour is the best made and that it is the most wholesome and nour­ ishing though not quite so white. The patent, on account of its whiteness, sells at a higher price and many will Jiave it in preference to any other, though it is said to be composed principal'y of starch and consequently not much nourishment in it. Someprefer the second simply be­ cause it is cheaper, while they acknowl­ edge it is not so good but say thaf it is good enough for them. Of course every .one i« at liberty to take whichever grade he prefers, but no one ought to expect to: get a good straight grade dour, which is the best flour that is made, at as low a price as the Second grade which is - ad­ mitted .to be not so good and can he sold, cheaper beeause of the fact that the whi­ ter part, which has been taken out of it can be, and .is sold at a higher -price.- Now take your choice, but if you want the best, most wholesome and most nourish­ ing, take the straight or whole grain flour if it does cost more than the second grade. i patch contest, and wants to win the free (trip to Greensboro.

From The Tribune, Fountain Inn, S. C. K ine Solomon had a thousand wives.And-all the world since Solomon s day has stood up on its hind legs and clapped its hands to applaud Solo­ mon’s wisdom. P ar be it from me, to dispute the announced, verdict of the centuries in regard to the old Jew ’s capacious think tank.- L et m erath er add to his glory by suggesting th a t he also deserves the palm as the bravest m an on record. - One thousands wi—G reat Jehosa- phat! Think of it! Pause a mom ent and allow th a t aw ful thought to penetrate to the innerm ost recesses of your intelligence. One thousand women all belonging to one man! Wise! H ehad to be. Ittak es the wisdom of the serpent to invent lies enough to keep peace w ith one wo-, man, - Im agine having to make ex­ cuses to a thousand. -.- - And isuppose old'Solomon w ent off fishing w ith the boys, to be gone a week of so, and started to kiss his wives good-bys. Counting four kisses to the m inute, which is lively kissin’ fo r m arried folks, (I am speakiag now of real kisses) it would take him four hours and ten m inutes to finish the job, and before he got through his kisser would feel like an auto­ m atic rubber stam p.Or suppose his wives went away to spend a week with their various kinspeople. As they went out at the front gate the whole thousand would stop for one last word. The sopranos would begin: ‘ Don’t forget—.” The altos would take up the re frain: “Don’t forget to put—1” The mezzo-sopranos would swell the rising sound. “Don’t forget, .to put OUfr-r” And the contralto voices, lifting the words in one grand final burst of music, would finish t h e hymn: “ DON’T FORGET TO PUT OUT THE CATJ” / Poor old Solomon! And yet life had its brighter side. Suppose he lost a button off. the, back of his pants and had to fasten his suspenders on with a nail. When . he took ’em off a t night he would call out: There’s a button off my breeches.” And then each jealous wife, intent on doing the m ost for her man; would find a needle and thread and sit up and rem edy the defect. And in the m orning, when he reached for his trouser, he would find them trim m ed w ith buttons of every shape, color and size, around the w aist and band, across the seat, and down the legs. Or suppose he came in from the field tired and hungry and mad all the way through as an unfed man always is/ins'teatl of having to ease his feeling a t the expense of one poorlittle.wo.mari h e . could quarrel a t a .thousand—sass ’em collectively and indivdually, singly and in groups in nairs, droves, flocks and bunches. Or if he chose to come in and flop down in an easy chair and groan in that jself-pitying Way men have: “Oh I’ve had a hard day of it. I’m clean tuckered out!” . Think of the fuss th at‘,one thousand women would make trying to cheer him up! O f’course, life had its hardships! such as the days when all of his wives would eat onions, or when all their millinery bills came due, or the whole thousand used his best razor to trim their corns, but on the whole Solomon’s days m ust have been pretty well filled Upwith pleas­ ure. .

Ouly the chance to buy stock in it(“ telegraph your order!’’) remain's. The company is to operate a large cat ranch near Oakland Gal. To start with the promoter will collect about 1.000, OOO cats. Each cat will, average twelve kittens a year. The skins will run from 10 cents each for the white ones to 75 cents for the pure black! This will give 12,000,000 skins a year to sell at an average of ,30 cents apiece, making a reve­ nue ot about $10,000 a day gross. A man can skin: fifty cats a day for $2. It will take 100 men to operate the ranch, and, therefore, the net profit will thus be $9,800. per day The cats will feed on rats and s rat. ranch will be startednext door; The rats multiply four times as fast as rents. One million-rats will give four rats per day for each cat The rats will feed op the carcasses of the cats from which the, skips have been taken, giving each rat a fourth of a cat. The business will be self supporting and automatic. The cats will eat the rats and the rats will eat the cats, and the com pany will get skins. - Telegraph your order, HOW’S I HIS?

St. Lucie, Fia.: Mr. Editor:—This 'has been the roughest day I ever saw in Florida. There has been a cold northwest wind blowing all day, with lots of rain. I’m out here more than a hun­ dred yards from shore in this beau­ tiful bungalow, built right over ; the river, in which my nephew, and neice Mr. and Mrs. J. N. Dunham live, and around which the waves are plaving hide and seek to beat the band. While you folks up home in the old Tarheel State have been wrestling with the blizzards nearly all the winter, we have been bask­ ing in the warm sunshine, going , in surf-bathing every day we cared to. eating these sub-tropical fruits, to matoes, beans, strawberries and oth­ er garden sass to a stand still. But from the looks of things tcnight, maybe the tide has changed, and if it clears up before the sun rises to­ morrow morning its goodbye to my liitle melon vines. I planted a hund­ red hills three weeks ago or more; yesterday I woi'ked them out and they are looking fine, and to say I’m proud of them don’t halfway ex­ press it. But if it frosts tonight! Dreadfulthoughtl Mr. Editor, just write on the slab that covers these bones—"died of a broken heart.” Have been having some grand sport fishing for the last few weeks. Bought myself and nephew. E. L.. Jr., a nice little sail boat, and the way we rope them would make you stand by and take note. But as I promised you and my friends before I left home not to tell any fish stor­ ies while downllere,;: “I ’ll stand to that promise if it was a bad, one. Just want to say to my friends that I am getting on fairly well. Haven’t had to take but one dose of medi­ cine or missed but one meal since I’ve been down here, and believe I’d be fat if it wasn’t for these little pesky sand flies and mosquitos. But Ed L. Jr., can tell it better than I can. A few evenings ago there was an auto party stuck in the sand near the house. Ed and I went out to render any assistance we could. The ladies in the auto were complaining terribly about the sand flies and mosquitos, when Ed said: "Ladies, they ar rite bad herd, but aint half as bad as they ar back thar at that shack. SaidIwas gista making a firesmudg when you folks got stall­ ed and had a pint cup in my hand that Ide brought some carosene oil in to start my smudg fire with, when the pests got so thick around and on my naik that I just made a swing with that cup, and caught a whole quart.” and added: “Now; ladies if you don’t believe it I can prove it by Uncle Ed.” ‘But Uncle Ed had business down on the river right then. Now, Mr, Editor, if my old friend, ’Squire Williams should won­ der down thig_way, Fm going to have him qualify the young man and send it to you for publication, darned if I don't. The wanderer'from Davie, E. L, DAVIS. quarter a century ago and1 during these 25 years.ic has aided! in the building of 600 homes, a number of business houses and several churches of the city, the total disbursments aggregating $1,183,172.98. The pres­ ent. president, vice president apd attorney; have served ever since the organization of the association and Dr. Harrill has been secretary and treasurer and in activej charge of the business for 23 years.;A num­ ber of the present stockholders have been carrying shares ever sipce the first series opened. The new series, which opened Saturday, promises to add many new shareholders i to the. i-ver-insreasing number. Nearly 400 shares in the series were s ’bscribed the first day.—Statesville T jjdmark. A bui'.ding and lean asst iation is one of Mocksville’s crying needs. What one of these organizations has done for Statesville and other towns it can do for MocksVille. Let’s get busy and organize one. FireatAdvance. Between 3 and 4 o’clock last Tues­ day moniing thesftore of J. H. Rat- ledge, and the office of Dr. T.'fTi' Watkins, at Advance were destroyed by fire. It is thought that the store was broken into, and set oh fire by some unknown person or persons, as the back door had! been busted open. Nothing was saved out of the store. Mr. Ratledge had over $4,000 worth of goods.ahd only $2,000; in­ surance. Theloss to Dr. Watkins is about $200. Some of his medicines was saved. The buildings belonged to W. A. Bailey,; and there was no insurance on them.; The loss falls heavy on Mr. Ratledge. He had. just purchased the interest of Mr: Carter in the business a few. weeks ago. It is hoped that the fiends wbo.did the burning, will be captur­ ed, and given the pxtreme penalty of the law. January Was Coldest. Now that January is gone, it may be safe to talk about her. Where­ fore, let it be recorded that the par­ ticular month which has finally tak­ en a welcome departure was the coldest of her name in 17 years and the second coldest in 34 trips of the pSftharound the sun. Consider that the phenomena unraveled included a genuine cold wave, two snowstorms, threesleetstorms, the second hea­ viest snowfall apd the lowest mark mtemperature :in thirteen years, this do, and thank your stars that you weathered ail this weather as successfully as you did, even; if may- nap you were Imd low by thedesign- gnp germ or if you are still in kaa RttP °f a cold that is undeniably 0W--Charlotte !Observer. Reports Some Biblical Matte?. The greatest apostle that eve: lived said he was the least of all the apostlus be­ cause he prosecuted the Christians. It was that apostle who whs t:~mra to the earth by the Lord in order that hie might become an embassador for the King of Kings, and for him to make a record, which wor d prove advantageous to the interest of millions of burr.aii beings yet nnbom,- and that his r'-o ia would be read to all the civilized nations upon the earth until the earth shall be destroyed by the Son of God. It was that apostle Who said that Melchisedee lived during the time of Abraham, who was greater thah - Abra­ ham, and the appstle said thai Melchise- dec was a priest of the most high God, and that he was king of Salem; which meant King of Peace. It was that apos­ tle who said Melchisedec had ; neither father father nor mother, neither; begin­ ning of days nor end of “ life, and thfit GodJiad taken an oath- that Ms Son Mioufd be forever a priest after the order ot Melchi8edec, and not' after "the' order of either Aaron or Levi—yet there was a great difference between Melchisedec and that of the Son of God as pries’s.; Which has reference to the duration of time. It is a well known fact, and has noVer been questioned by the intelligent that the priesthood of the Soil of God is unchange­ able, because he is a part of the God-head and it is presumed that the God-head has. no beginning, and that it will continue to everlasting eternity. Thus it I is : not known but what his existence as ja priest will never terminate. Not so with Mel- chisedee, as he was a priest during the days of Abraham, today he is not : a priest unless a priest in heaven, which ; is not the case, because he was human and professed no part of the God-head; and it required purer blood than ever passed through his veins to be a priest in heav­ en. advantageous to the interest of the children of men living in the world upon which we reside requiring the purity blood like that of the Son of God. The difference between the two, principally as priests is in reference to the duration time. Aaron ahdLoviwefo priests ( When they died their sonssuccesded them a s priests, and so it continued in that geheaiogy until 445 years prior to the coming of the true Messiah, then the Ar- onic and Lvvitical priesthood u npinated —not so with Meichisedec, as h.' had no predecessor in his father’s fan-iiy as priest, and no successor as a priest in his own family. So it was with the Son Godt Who had ho one that either preceded or succeeded him as a priest in his own family, therefore he was a priest’ after the order of Meichisedec. Iho apostle Paul had reference to the priesthood M elchisedec,whenhesaidthat he had neither father nor mother, as hit, parents represented his priesthood, and fit, had no predecessor or successor as.a priest in his father's family. It was Meichisedec as a priest alone. J. R. V u-liams. Poor Myrde Hawkins.

Thirteen and a half bales for these two Jtems with nothing said-about team and feed and labor to make the cropand the picking and many other expenses. He still has some cotton in the fields which he ex pects to plow under in the spring.

In theory divorce is a process re­ luctantly sanctioned by the com aiunity for the emancipation of persons Irom intolerable and liceh- jjous husbands, there are unprin­ cipled wives, tnere are persons .I bath sexes of excessive cruelty in one form and another to their ma­ trim onial partners, and most eore,- juunitiee sanction divorce in the tbs feeling that humanity demands it. But in practice divorce is prov­ ing to be something very different. It is establishing a practice, what has been described as “ trial mar­ riage.” Itisremoving the sense ofsanetioy and perpetuity from marriage. The great number of persons, mostly wives, who are go­ ing to Reno prove how many di­ vorces are sought for reasons tnat would not secure a divorce in New York, or in many other States where di vorce is more easily ob­ tained. In a recent story Mrs. Comer tells of a New England wife who wearied of her husband—there wag nothinglikea quarrel—and also had met another man. Divorce is now generally sought not as de­ liverance from intolerable condi. tions, but as a means to a ehange of partners when custom has dulled the interest of one. But this wife gave up her search lor freedom— and the other man—and returned to her husband on account- of the women she found in Beno on the same errand that took her Iherei “I hated Reno” she said. “ The streets were full of plump, self satisfied blonde women, over dress­ ed and underbred.” JndgeKinne, of’Michigan, who hu been on the bench for twenty- in JtBtB, recently made some re­ marks that contrast strongly the the theory and reality of- divorce. Speakiug of the views he used to entertain, he said: “ It seemed to me that divorce was the only es­ cape from brutality, wretchedness, and hopeless unhappiness but cf late the privilege of divorce has been so misused and I have wit-, nesied suoh flagrant disregard for truth, morality and decency, that- niy former convictions have ex­ perienced considerable modification if not revolution, In my opinion there is just one way to solve this problem. Let the next legislature enact a law that never again for soy cause whatsoever shall there be granted a divorce from the .bonds of matrimony in the State of Michigan. In certain cases Jet there be a degree of separation, but no dissolution of the marriage contract.” Separation would emancipate the victim of mistreatment, but it would not provide for that other Rian or that other woman. Judge Kinne’s change of opinion reflects the effect of long and intimata con­ tact with divorce in practice.— Philadelphia Record. 1 ro Nonrai Stu­ dents in May-Day Fete—Four _ Famous May-Poies.

CM course opr! good friend meant to “throw off on” the editors for offering advice, but his proneness to snch a feeling as that is almost an unpardonable sin. It is the dnty of an editor to keep posted on subjects relating to the w iitare o f bis readers and to inform them as to the best methods to pursue, and when he fails to do his duty and that which he is ex­ pected to do.

TWO JOLLY GIRLS. ; A SHAME. Some time ago Chas. W, Morse, .. tlie New York, bank defaulter, who was .serving a long term in the Fed' eral prison at Atlanta, was reported : as.being sick, unto death, suffering from at least half a dozen fatal dis­ eases. It was said he could not re­ cover, and great efforts were made to have the President pardon him, that he might return home to die. If we mistake not, many newspapers throughout the country jumped on Mr Taft and blessed him out for not issuing an immediate pardon. • Finally the President ‘did pardon Mprse, and he returned home, but not to die. No, indeed. He stopped at home long enough to take a bath, change clothes, shave, and to help • the folks celebrate his joyful home- . coming. Instead of dying,. he has •• disappeared from this country, and • is traveling in foreign parts, enjoy­ ing himself to the fullest. Some­ body has been buncoed. About four years ago one James Lang was tried in Moclcsville for bank robbery and sentenced to five years'in the State penitentiary. A year ago or more it was reported that Lang was nearly dead with con­ sumption, and could not recover. A pardon was asked for him. Much . sympathy was expressed for him, and a petition was circulated hare. , Many people signed it, the editor along with the rest. The Governor finally pardoned him Did Lang go home to die? Not much, he didn’t. He went to New York State, and two weeks ago tried to rob another bank. Today he is serving a nine year-sentence in Sing-Sing prison. Another case of somebody being buncoed.- Somebody, is to blame. A fellow once remarked that the American people loved to be Dum coed. He told the truth. ,There are -a few cases where pardons should be granted, but not• many. Every case should be thoroughly investiga ted before any pardon is granted.

No man can be strong who is suffering from weak stomach with its consequent indigestion, or from some other disease of .the stomach and its associated organs, which im­ pairs digestion and nutrition. For when the stomach is weak or diseased there is a loss of the nutrition contained in food, which is the source of all physical strength. When a man “ doesn’t feel just right,” when he doesn’t sleep well, has an uncomfortable seeling in the stomach after eating, is languid, nervous,-irritable and despond­ ent, he is losing the nutrition needed to make strength. . - ■ S u ch a m a n sh o u ld u se D r.

Statesville Landmark The WiIkesboro Chronicle claimed that the “Turkey Trot” and “Buz­ zard Lope” dances originated in Wilkes, but another claimant has arisen. Writing to the Chronicle, Mr. J. K. Meroney, of Mocksville, says. I am writing you this, trusting you will appreciate a few historical facts as to the origin of that modern form of dance known as the “turkey trot. In a recent issue of your paper you claim the “turkey trot” origi nated in the State of Wilkes and is one of the official dances of the county. During the seventeenth century the lamented ’Squire Boone, of pi oneer fame, succeded in killing a tremendous wild turkey. When lie arrived at his humble log cabin on the banks of the Yadkin river, Da­ vie county, he immediately cleared the furniture from the center of the cabin and in honor of his day’s sport performed a wonderful “step” so full of rythm and motion that it im­ mediately became famous. In the course of a few months the fame of this dance had spread over this and surrounding counties, and the ’squire erected a platform in his yard on which to “cut this particular step” for the benefit of his large audiences, Often on these occasions the colored Washington Bowles with his violm and Larkin Barneycastle with his banjo were present and furnished music for the occasion. - In lateryears,' when the ’squire’s joints began to stiffen, he taught the dance to his son, Daniel, who no doubt taught it to Judge Dula and other good citizens of the “State of Wilkes” when he passed through on his way to Kentucky. Busy With the Split Log Drag. We want to commend the public spirit manifested by people in dif­ ferent Bections of the country in re­ gard to working the public roads, which havejfor the past six weeks been no bad. The split log drag is domg the work and the folks are using them g'ving their time and their teams to thergood wor k. Out oin the Morgan Mill road yes­ terday Messrs. C. F. Helms, Fied Chaney add others turned out with a split log drag made by Mr. T. J. Bivens; and made a splendid, road from Ihe town limits to tne forks of the Morgan. Mill and Olive Branch roads.

Franklin and County Superintendent Aisbet who went down into Buford town­ ship yesterday over that road, says k Woman Cannot Worship in a $40 Hat. - “No woman can worship God under a forty dollar hat,” de- clared'Bev. Dr.-W. A. Munhall, an evangelist, to a congregation w h ic h packed Simpson Methodist Church to the doors at Altoona, Pa., February 1st. “No congregation can worship well in a church costing more than $50,000 and any" money spent, in church property in excess of that amount should be devoted to other work,” he added. -^ii I ' ' ■1 ■ MuchBoaze in Franklin County.
