APRIL 3. 1912.NUMBER 39 Who Struck Billy Patterson. Dick Naylor in Home and Farm. Tbe high cost of living continues to be a much cussed and discussed topic-The IateRt eolation I have seen is that given by the Cincin nati Housew ifes’ Co Operative Lea g u e , through its president, Mrs. J. giims. The crystalized answer to the question as to who is to blame fir the present greatly increased cosijof living is thus given by the league for the benefit of the De- partment of Agriculture: ••Trusts, selfish greed aud hun ger for big profits. Speculation— prices fixed by gamblers, rather than by cost of production. Hus bands—not as helpful in home management as they should be. Lame laws—refusiog'to grant wo men the right to vote.” • No doubt the Buckeye house wives are more or less rightin each oi their counts as to who is guilty. Evidently more than one miscreant has assaulted the long-sufiering Billy Patterson—the common peo ple. It does seem hard, however, that the poor husbands, who have the bills to pay, should be arraigned before the bar of feminine indigna tion as particeps criminis in the matter. ’‘Half of them,” the ,re port proceeds to say, ‘‘don’t know the price of sugar.” That may be true, Mrs. Ellms, but you'll be safe in betting that more than half of them can tell you the prices of cigars, smoking tobacco of different brands, also the prices of different brands of certain liquids. Why should hus bands be required to keep track of fluctuations of groceries any more than the wives should be expected foieep tab on cigars, oyster sup pers and other masculine trifles'! . Itseems to me, however, that Capt. John CL Edgar, in hie artic e on page 19 of Home and Farm, January lp, comes much hearer solving the problem than do the good ladies of t h e Cincinnati Housewives’ Co-Operative League. Capt. Edgar takes a broad and comprehensive view of the trouble (as, indeed, he does all matters), attributing the prevailing high prices to many causes, the princi pal ones being an increased demand against a decreased supply.' “The whole secret of the high price of butcher meat,” he says, “is increased population and de creased supply of meat animals,” which he goes on to explain are due to our J 6,000,000 more popu lation during the last decade, and the passing oi the big Western ranges into the possession of “ the man with the hoe.” Meat, animals, however, are not the only food supply that is dear. Every article, as even the poor, henpecked husbands of those Cin cinnati dames have, by this time, found out, no doubt, has ascended toaltiiudinous heights. Thelowly but toothsome spnd, particularly, occupies a high financial seat. “Uncle” Frank Jackson, a pio neer farmer of Carrollton, Dallas county, submitted the following explanation as to the high prices °f potatoes to the Dallas Morning News: “I read an article in the Friday News by Mrs. M. A. Gale, asking the Mayor to devise some plan to make living in Dallas cheaper, es pecially as to the cost of potatoes. I wonder if Mrs. Gale knows that nil the boys who used to dig pota toes have gone to the cities. If Us. Gale, has a n y boys-that Waut t P dig potatoes • they can §et a job digging tear Carrollton. have raised Bix boys on the farm Dallas county, but they have all g°n*» to the city,, and. are engaged tn. boosting corner lots and are not 1O the potato business Wny more, aCd I have about twenty-five nc* . PhewB that are either lawyers, doc tors or preachers, nonjBjtiigging po- tatoes, and it is only a question of a little time before Uncle Samuel will have to get his living from some other part of the world if. the move to the city keeps on. We who are left think things are .en tirely too cheap, for the price we nave to pay for what we get done, and we are trying in every way to get more for what we raise, Ho, Mrs. Gale, if yon thiuk the potatoes are too high, come out an d go into the potato business.—Frank Jackson.” • Jt is unfortunate, but true, that many of our test young men are attracted by the glare and glamor of the city, and, like ninths about a candle, they swarm to the daz zling and dangerous allurements of the metropolis, only to learn too latethat theyhave made a fatal error. Here is an extract from a letter I got last fall from a good, honest, intelligent boy who lives upon a. farm on Bed river: “I don’t know whether I will farm next year or not. Do you think I could get employment-', in Dallas? Do yon think I could get work with the street car company?” This boy’s idea was to get work that would enable him to make enough money to pay his board and give opportunity to attend a night school. Hehas a most worthy ambition to get an education, but a wholly impracticable idea of city life. I wrote him that all cities are filled to overflowing with unem ployed people. As for working for a street-car company, he would have to work a month for nothing, then for an indefinite period aB an “extia,” getting in only a part of the time as his services might be needed. When he finally got on as. a “re gular” he would have to work from twelve to fourteen hours a day, netting from $2.40 to $2.60 a; day for the first two or three years. While this sum may look like “good wages” to maay country youths, when they “get no against’ the high cost of living in the city they quickly learn that the quiet, steady, comfortable aud economi cal life he knew “down on the farm” is far more satisfying in the endthan thesfrenous, exciting and expensive life of the city. As to the schooling, I explained to my young friend that he would have much more chance to attend a country school or to take a home course of study than he would be likely to have attending a night school In the city. In fact, after a hard day of twelve to fourteen hours labor, he would be in no condition to attend school anyway. Furthermore, after one or two years of such slf.vish work, he'would, in all probability, lose all ambition for an education, and become con tented to live the hard, monoton ous lifa of a common corporation drudge, -vd; if the fine, stalwart, intelligent boys on the farms of this country could only get a true knowledge of the stinted, narrow lines of the average working boys in the city, they would not want to swap places If they only realized the great op portunity nqw open for the pro gressive, intensive, up-to date, a- Iert American larmer, they would never think of leaving the farm for the city. Don’t leave the farms, boys, to swell the mongrel multitude of me dioore men in the crowded cities* depending upon their daily labor for some company or ..corporation for a meager existence. Stay t n the farm, and let the city fellows buy your pork, peas and potatoes at good paying prices to you. Don’t desert the good old farm for .the untried and uncertain life of the city. Don’t do it! Don’t be surprised if you have an attack of rheumatism this spring. Juet rub the Affected parts freely; with 'Chamberlains JUniment and it will soon disappear. Sold byalldealers. Womtd Up the Wrong One, Jones was just putting on his over coat, when he causually remarked to Mrs. Jones Jhat he would-be work ing overtime that night. “Don’t wait for me dear,” he said. “I inay be rather-later. than usual. But there it can’t be helped.” Atbreakfast next morning she was stonily silent, and the stillness of the room was not even broken by the tick tick of the clock on the mantlepiece. “Mary, dear,” remarked Jones presently, “there is something wrong with-the clock. I wound it. up last night too.” - “Oh, no, you didn’t!” said Mrs. Jones, icilv. “What you did wind up was Teddy’s musical box, and when you came to bed this morning it was playing ‘Home, Sweet Home.” -^-Chicago Journal. ■ *'My little son had a very severe cold.

The Language of Letters. f Gr Postage Stamp flirtation re vised. ‘ ; j Writing the address in alleged poetry or rhyme is an evidence of ieeble minded ness that should ne- •yer be displayed in publie. A postage stamp upon the upper left hand corner of -an envelope means, “I am not right bright,’! in the estimation of postal em ployes. V The address at top- of envelope on a line with the-stamp, indicates that it is liable to be obliterated by A canceliing machine, and the letter go to the Dead Letter office for re surrection. - ' Stamp on the reverse side of en velope means that the letter may Be thrown aside in the rush of making up a mail before the freak is discovered, and delayed from one to twenty-four hours, as a . re sult of such nonsense. Writing “ In haste” or similiar inscriptions upon a letter is a sign of great danger. No doubt many serious wrecks have been occasion ed by fast running of trains when the engineer knew that such a let ter was in the mail car. Don’t do it any more. Somemail clerk is liable to hurt himself laughing at your silliness. Mail matter is al ways sent by the quickest possible route after beiDg deposited in the post office, frequently going hun dreds of miles around to gain a few minutes over a shorter direct route on which connections are cot to good. Nothingbut a special de livery stamp will hurry anything by mail, and that only alter it hi-.s reached the office of destination, where it WiU be specially delivei- ed.

According to a contributor to the magazine, gold has not infrequently be6n found buried in the neighborhood of Car rara, in Italy, and many stories are still circulated in that locality concerning hidden treasure. A most curious experience was that of a quarryman who in one of his ramb’es stumbled on an old de serted quarry, within which, half- buried in grass and brambles, lay an enormous block of heavy marble On examining it, he found a number of letters rudely cut, and half-hidden under a crust of dirtv With some difficulty he managed to spell out the words: “Blessed is he who shall turn me over.” The man at once jumped to the conclusion that he had stumbled on hidden treasure, and that his fortune was made. He rushed home and collected some of bis friends to afd him in the recover) of the canoealed gold. After, much hard labor, they succeeded In turn ing the hoary giant,over.

Did you ever notice how . really beautiful gum chewing makes a girl appear? Take her de facto, and gazing steadily, one can not find a more ideal picture. With a sharp click! clack! her teeth, so white and pearly, are clashing to^ gether as, with cowish glee, she masticates her cud. Then, too; oue can note her health tinted, wall-rounded cheeks as they grow a little more rotund, through the material assistance of a big !hunk’ of gum. And really, who can ima gine a fairer spectacle than that of her dainty upturned nose, as it gently rises and falls in wave like undulations over the abysmal depths revealed at each pressure against the mass.

Goes After Us In Bad Manner. Mt. Editor:; Last fall while at thasame house I am stepping at now I isaw an article in your pa- ppr copied, I suppose, from some Npthern journal entitled, “ A sim ple method of getting rid of rats.” As we read it Wri had the boys to gpout and gather Some good bun ones of ninllien and put them in theibox Wherrithe Seed corn was put- fQI it seemed that the rats was; bent pn eating that corn. But the leaves of the mnllien was soon taken off to make their beds out of. Thri rpmedy has been tried ourner ous tinies since and by different persons and we fiud that you can’t please a rat any better than to fur nish hijm mullleir to make his bed. Tfie articie was riot worth the ink it,triok :te:print it, or at least they must have different rats in that country to what we have here, read another article in the, Lexing ton Dispatch copied from the Sal iBbtiry. Post concerning men killing their wives, which laid the whole blame to people marrying young and giving preachers and magis trates hail Columbia for perform ing marriage ceremonies for young people. This writer is not an ad vocate of children marrying, but has no time for such articles, for there is in his old neighborhood several couples that married quite young who are living as happy a life as people in their circumstan ces could liye, even if Reuben Combs did marry young and kill his wife. Iread still another ar ticle in the Landmark copied from the Progressive Farmer, “Little consideration for old people.” If the writer had worded the article a little diffetent it wouldn’t have been noticed, but lo see an old man with his hair down around his neck, atnbeer running out of each corner of bis month and drip ping off his chin on to his shirt front and the drip hanging to his nose—call that just.what you want to, this scribe is past his 68th mile post and has as high regard-for old people as most any one, but for the Tite of me I am not able to see things as Mrs. Patterson does. We old people may be called by news paper articles great stacks of beau ty and lumps of sweetness, but you can’t beat it into this scribe with a forty pound maul that there ate many people who believe it. Such articles as above referred to makes our-stomach feei like it. was made of a sheepskin fall; of coekleburs and Spanish needles*; But here is where I-change cars,and have no time to meutiab policies. , KniTHEFOOeeoSF The RepuhKcaff P a rty ., We should b e .very careful how we walk over slippery, places, and especially so when glne or.trapt are Bat to catch us. Wefiave stood high, been-strong and suc cessful for many years, but there is_ dan ger iariead, and'thefe is a probability of giving our reins over into* the hands of the ‘Democratic party. I mean, by this. I feat the great contention between ^ the Taft and Roosevelt factions will result in ourlfinal defeat I have just read an in teresting article in The Record, advocat ing the liberty of all to express their desire! by their ballots In, the -primaries. State and national conventions. If this is folly carried out much of the danger is eliminated. But from what I can under stand, the Taft men are not advocating this liberty, while the Roosevelt meri are advocating the free and,unttameled voice of the people.. If even an intimation of a coercion to pledge fora man, is before the delegates, it means that that man is afraid of the voice of the people. Now, with these facts before me, and from the fact that we had a great loss In the last election, somehow and for some reasons, (not discussed now) under the- Taft ,ad ministration. I am of the'candid opinion that all those who are advocating the re- nominatio* of Taft, are so far moving to wards a defeat of our party at. the elec tion next November. Taking the wish of the people, Ibelieve thqre are two for Roosevelt to one-against ; him; hence if Taft is nominated, In my mind, he can not be elected for this reason. The De mocrats are urging his nomination; so thrir then can elect their man in Novem ber. if this is so, then all the time and money invested in this direction is so much lost. What is the use of ; nominat ing a man that cannot be elected? There is where the danger comes In.. The wri ter does not claim ;to be an infallible prophet, but he has said Roosevelt' or a Democratwilllivein the White Hotue during the next four years. . I have expressed these views as a ben efit and forewarning to our party. But if you; Mr. Editor, or any of your readers do not foresee these things as I do. I shall noi order my paper discontinued for that reason. Now! this is the substance of the who'e thing. I feel sure we cannot re elect Taft; the Democrats know-it and are working hard to hnVe him nominated. If we help to, and succeed In securing his nomination, then we help to defeat the Republican party ond open the way to let in a Democratic president. X. X.

The De- moidrats are worse Bplit up over a Presi dential candidate than are the Republl cans Roossvelt seems to be very popu lar in North Carolina, but his glory seems to be waning throughout the couptry, Norih Carolina never helps to elect a Re publican president nohow.

Jast a word about that master fake, the “mad atone,” Ifa inan wants to risk his life, after he has been bitten by a rabid animal, fool ing with a little old stone that has no more virtue than has a slate rock, why that is a matter between him and his own folly, bat to see a little child who has been bitten by a rabid dog or other rabid ani mal taken to the “mad stone” and dented sensible treatment, that is pathetic beyond, the power of words to ezpfess it. “Bat the mad stone stuck,” says the fellow who be: lieves in it. Tes, it stuck to the wound, that mad stone did, stuck for a long time, and so would many another porous stone have done had an application of them been made to the wound. And the own er of the stone “stuck” the father of the child for a five dollar bill, too,' and right there is where some law is needed, for if a man was to allow his child to die of any die ease, except hydrophobia, and did nothing more for its care than put ting some old relic of a rock or •tick to its body .‘ the law would handle him for neglect, and would hold him responsible for the death of his child. The man with the mad stone fake has been allowed to get easy money too long. He should be made to stop his business of taking the people. It will be ar gtted that many who have been bitten by mad dogs and have the mad stone applied to the wound never had a symptom of hydropho bia. Eight there is where the man with the mad stone gets in his work. Not every dog supposed to be mad is really mad, and when a person Ls bitten by a dog or other animal that is not suffering with rabies, why a mad stone is just as good as a brickbat to prevent ra bies.. In the days before Pasteur discovered the wonderful preven tive of hydrophobia the man who in his desperation took his child that had been bitten by a rabid, to a mad stone and spent bis money for that treatment was to be pitied bat now since soienee has so com pletely annihilated the idea of a little old stone being of any virtue whatever in the prevention of hy drophobia and has found a way to prevent that dread disease it is a crime to risk a life monkeying with a little old mad stone. The state furnishes treatment free to those who have been bitten ’ by rabid animals and are not able to pay for the treatment. If you are bit ten by a rabid animal or one sup posed to be rabid you are playing with fate in going to a mad stone. Might as well pick up a slate rock and put it to the bitten place as to go rambling off to some fellow who claims to have a mad stone taken from the stomach of a white deer A rabbit foot—the left hind foot of a graveyard rabbit— drawn three times across the place where a mad dog bit yon will do just as much good as will applying a mad stone to it.—Monroe Enquirer.

While discussions abound con cerning the respective merits' of sand clay and macadam roads 31 is interesting to hear The Asheville Gazette-News assert that the roa.d problem for most sections of Ban combe County has been solved, be cause a said clay road bu>lt through Beaverdam Valley meets every requirement and'stands eve ry test. The first section of thijr ^a8 had a fair trial the real, sand road was laid in December, 1910, and a second section was made the JanuaryFebraary following. It’ I as been a good road since its first day. The terrific weather of last W inter did practically no damage, it has never been either dusty or muddy in any considerable degree, and yet it has endured much heavy hauling from the very start. While automobiles play havoc with ma cadam, they positively beneft the sand c’ay. uThe sahd-clay road leading from Grace lip Beaverdam Creek,” declares County .Engineer J. 0. M. Valentine in The Gazette- News, ‘-is the best road in the county today.” Mr. Valentine states that even the Biltmore roads a model of macadam construction have suffered heavily through the severe weather, whereas the sand clay almost entirely escapedl The formula of this excellent road is given as follows:' Six incheB of sand and upon that a layer of clay > three inches deep; od that four in ches of sand, the whole'finished with one inch of clay or gravel; It is stated that the gravel finish proved somewhat the better. Mr. Eoland Wolfe, the supervisor of the road, says that to be kept Vin the best condition the.surface should be dragged at a cost of a- liout §3 per mile each’ year. Eeg- olar dragging has not been prac- thus far. The belief is that with such care this highway would al most never wear out. And The Gazette-News editorially urges that sand clay construction costs only about $600 per mile, as against $2,500 or more for the macadam type. Experience had with another sand clay road now building is sug gestive of the causes behind many of the complaints which we hear. "Mr. Valentine,” it is stated, “said that considering everything this road is in good condition and that it would not be long until it would be in fine shape. The wet weather and the freezing caused a thorough mixing of the sand and clay,which was just what was needed although he said some of the people beeame discouraged a- bout the road and some said they wished it had been let alone as it w as. They will probably sing an other tune next Winter.” AU the condemnations of the sand-clay road which we ever heard came from people who had mani festly given it an incomplete or in sufficient trial. In most cases they had not constructed a real sand- clay road at all, but had acted up on the assumption that Any dump ing of sand upon mud constitutes a construction of this type., ! In some other eases people who had little faith from the start lost that-little by failing to make necessary al lowances, as the Buncombe people quoted by EngineerValedtinenear Iy did. Pop reai sand-clay roads fully as good engineering service is needed as for the macadam type, ^or does it follow that because an engineer has built good macadam roads he has all the requisite ex perience for building good roads of- the other kind. We have .’been im pressed. with the fact; that, not withstanding the sand-clay’type is a comparatively new inven|ipn, ex perienced. road engineers-Ieyery- where pronounce well built .sahd- clay roads good.

Staodiog for Sassafras Tea. Charlotte Observer. Having asserted the merits of salt rising bread, with much news paper and popular support, the Statesville Landmark now joins hands with the Greensboro News in championship of sassafras tea “Some of us who appreciate the beverage,” it says, “are now think ing about borrowing a mattock and making a foray into the broomsedge fields to find the sassafras and dig op, the roots to- make tea.” The Landmark recognizes that sassafras tea must reckon with antagonism from dbinestic science lecturers and others'who advocate only a com mercial article of some kind. In truth as we have urged before now, the objections to sassafras tea are wholly of the kind described. It grows wild in the fields, and hence it can rely upon boosting neither from commercial interests nor from that inclination' "We -;all have to value more highly those things which cost us real money or which, come from afar. If sassafras tea is a notariously healthfuldrink. Such is the cassedness of human nature that we all have a natural disposition to like the things which are bad for us and to shun,' or at least to go light on the good. Many of ns are prejudiced against sass afrae tea because .we suspect cr have been told that it would bene fit our health. On this point .cof fee and tea possess the advantage of not only cciBting us a substantial price and of Ibeing imported but also being admittedly bad. They contain a harmful drug, as sassa fras does not.. We drink them at table and then proceed 4 tank up at the soda fountains wi.h other drinks containing the same drug or similar drugs. Ih drinking sas safras tea we get'neither the effect of dope nor the enjoyable sense At doing ourselves harm thereby, In short, sassafras ten seems to be at a hopeless disadvantage. But its merits will always find, apprecia tion among the discriminating, and we hail our two contemporaries as sharing this appreciation with us.

There are, in this day of enuca- catioual and material advancement Tery few people who don’t read their local paper. Times have changed wonderfully. A few years ago the local colcims were read and the paper was thrown aside by a great many people. Today the business local and other advertis ing columns are a prominent part of;the paper and, in many instances are read more closely than the news columns. People who want to ad vertise an auction sale no longer have a “ few dozen posters struck” and stick them abont where fifty or? a hundred people will read them, but they go to their local paper and, at less price than the posters would cost then), place an advertisement in the business local column where it will be read by thousands. When farmers, as well atfmerchants, want to sell anything, they-have, learned that it paya to let the public know about it. Com mercial news is just as much in de mand today as any other kind of news, and if you want to spend yonr money to the best advantage, go to the merchaut who wants your trade bad enough to tell you about it through your local paper. Real ly, you are under obligations to patronize the merchant who uses the columns of yonr local paper to advertise his gooda. for advertis ing patronage is the only thing that enables newspaper men to sell their publications at the low price you now pay for them.—MarBhville Home.

Timesis of special in terest in Iredell just now: There is an assesssor in a neigh boring county that is certainly do ing business with a proper spirit. When he goes out to assess and three or four dogs meet him at the gate he proceeds calmly to the pro prietor of the farm, makes his as sessment and asks how many dogs he has. If the proprietor says he has none and that a few dogs just ‘hang around the place,’? Mr. As se-aor just pulls out a revolver and speedily dispatches the canines in sight. He says he may not be el ected assessor again, but he is go ing to get the dog tax of his town ship while he is on the job. There should be more assessors of this kind in every county.—Landmark.

NORTH CAROLINA. WEDNESDAY. APRIL' 17. 1912 NUMBER The Seasons of the Year are DealtWith And The Ground Hog it Given A Few Passing Remarks. yucle Tobey, In Home and Farm. The groundhog, the little rascal, h a d h i s way about the w inter, so f a r a s h e had any jurisdiction in the matter. Spring came, as was predicted by him early in Febru ary. Although it came on the very day predicted, it was mid after- Doou when it arrived. Its arrival was greeted with joy by both young and old, and the glad shouts of t h e children as they romped and played out of doors showed their appreciation ol its return. The little groundhog sat dem ur ely on the dirt hill thrown up in front of his subterranean home as much as if to say: ‘‘I told you so.” Butthere was something in the a i r . or Ihe absence of something, which caused your UncTiTobey to have his doubts. The little grouud hog had perhaps done his best, and Old Sol was kind enough to humor him with a few beautiful Bpring days. But when the little groundhog crawled out of his hole and sat proudly upon the hill of dirt in front, there wete no robins present to greet him, nor bluebirds to entertain him w ith their saucy chatter. ' Iu the great Northwest there were nmtterings of coming storms, aDd while the little groundhog was sitting in front of-his home bath ing in the soft sunshine of summer skies, they were digging passenger trains out of the snows in the D a kota*, and even as far south aB Kmas and Colorado. B ut the little groundhog was not aware ot all this as he Bat musing on his front porch, probably wondering what farmer would plant a field of corn nearest to his home th at he might have a glorious feast when the fullness of the harvest should come.* But groundhogs, like men, are not infallible. Yesterday the sun erossed the line, and today we are in the midst of a Bnow storm , the tail-end of a Northwest blizzard. I don’t understand why Old Sol cuts up so many didoes when he crosses the line in the spring of the year. It may be- because he is giad to get back to us again, and in the exuberance of his joy throws UB a chunk of cold weather which he Las snatched from the hand of departing W inter. Or it may be that he and OJd W inter are having a scramble as he cross es the line and invades the terri tory where W inter hae reigued as king for the past five months. In the tussle W inter himBelf might have dropped some of his icy cold noss, or in his mad retreat hurled a portion or it at us. The seasons are not _ like they used to be. The planetary influ ences seem to have got mixed up in their mad race around the sup; or, perhaps, they have been scared by the viciouslooking comets that have visited our planetary system within the past two years, and for gotten their duty to this old .world of ours. Two years ago on the first of March spring had come ap parently to stay. There was every indication that it was the genuine article. The groundhog had not jseen his shadow on Candelmas day, and the robins and the bluebirds were flitting about among the trees and °o the ground, showing by their presence that spring was here. And March, ever ficful in its moods ‘tempered the winds to the shorn lands,” going so far, indeed, as to modify the severity of the equinoc t i a l storm. Tonr Uncle Tobey, assured l>y stich creditable witnesses as the flfoundhog, robins and bluebirds ^Dd the bright warm 6UD,sfi1ne of Id Sol, planted1 a patch of pota- March went by a veritable spring month; April came, and it seemed as though spring had taken a re lapse. But the potato vines grew slowly until the warm sunshine of May gave them new life, and they grew rapidly until they had reach- ed at least twelve inches in height. Theu something happened. The seasons seemed to have “ turned backward in their flight.” Old W inter seemed to have returned and choked the !life out of Spring. Frost covered up .those potato vines and nursed them tendery for a week. Then came a warm spell of two or three days, and I uncovered them. Then Old W in ter seemed to have forgotten some thing, and came back, I think it was my potatoes that he had for gotten, for the next morning the vines were frozen, frozen to the ground, and the small potatoes which had started from their roots died ah ignominious death. - The fall we bad up here last year was a delusion and a snare. It set in about the mindle of Sep tember with bright prospects and brighter colors. The apples hung on the trees in delicious profusion- Before the usual time came for the ‘frost upon the pum pkin and the fodder in the shock” there was ice upon the pond and snow upon the ground. Thus glorious fall, with its abundant harvest, its waim sunshine and invigorating air; its forests painted w ith crimson, gold and green, was snatched from us by the icy hand of relentless win ter. W hat is the m atter w ith the seasons! Is Old W inter becoming a thief, stealing, from both the fall and spring! Oir perhaps it is.'O ld' Sol, the sun, who is neglecting his Just a few days ago I read in a paper that the isun is growing old and is wearing out. The article was written by a learned professor who had many handles to his name which he had received from the colleges. H e wrote with a skill and self-reliant confidence calcula- i ;ed to make one believe that he had been in very close communi cation with the .sun, perhaps had visited it. This learned professor not only intim ated, but positively asserted that the sun was working so hard that it was only a m atter of time when ha would have to throw up his job. and turn the planetary system ovey to some oth er sun. I was-8orry to learn this, for I have always had a warm feeling for Old Sol-, and he shows his ap preciation of imy rffection by reci procating that feeling, especially in the months of July and August. W hen I first knew the sun he was not So fitful in his moods as at the present time. H e took better care of the weather; and the seasons seldom failed to come round on scbedute-time and remain with us until the next season was due. ^ I know the old fellow has a hard time keeping the Barth and Venus and Mars and Jupiter and Saturn and all the other planets w ith their satellites swinging in space, mak ixg their regular rounds without gaining or losing a minute of time, and putting In his odd moments chasing away the comets that en ter our planetary system with the evident purpose of making trouble It is no wonder the old fellow is tired, and that dark spotB can be seen upon his face, indicating pre m ature decay. H is responsibility must be agonizing, Just Ihink for a moment if a comet, sent into this planetary system by. another sun who is jealous P t ours, should strike the Earth, or Satnrd or Ju piter. W hat would be the result of such a collision! It would prob ably not only destroy the planet which it struck, but disturb .the equilibrium of our ^hoJeplanetary s y r if e m , and jjossibly let _two or three planets get awaY. But 1« will not come in our day, and the learned professor encourages us greatly in the statement that (he sun will perhaps be able to bear up under the strain of performing his duty for - several millions ol years yet, and we can take cheer in the thought that we will all be dead by that time, About Ducks. The Indian Bunner Duck came originally from the W est Indies, where they have been bred for years- as egg producers. They were introduced into the United States about sixteen years ago from England, and have won for them selves a high position in Eastern markets. In color they are fawn and white Their peculiar markings and racy appearance make them very at- attractive, and to see them is to admire them. But what is'best of all is their egg producing qualities, surpassing anything yet produced. Nearly every duck lays an egg nearly every day the year around, except during moult, if given the proper food and attention. By at tention, we mean, the every day kind, not the haphazard way. W hat is worth doing at all.is worth doiDg well.. T he standard weight of the duck is four pounds; drake four and a half pounds. The flesh is very juicy and well flavored. They ma ture rapidly reaching market size in nine or ten weeks. Bunning water is not at all necessary for their development, but they re quire plenty of clean, fresh water for drinking purposes. They are great foragers and find a large part of-'their food when free range, but they can be succesefully handled in lim ited quarters, a fence thirty inches high being sufficient, to en close them. T herearem any points in favor of Duck Culture, as.ihey are free from lice, roup, scabby legsand other diseases so common to chick ens, They are not bothered by the red bug, which tortures chick ens _ so unmercifully throughout the South. Everyone knows something of the immensity of the poultry busi To AU Members of the Corn Club: I wrote you before that we should have, additional prizes and I am now glad to announce two additional prizes in each district under the same’rules as the first list I sent you. Tbesgnew prizes are two free trips, in ea|h district, to the National Corn Show|which will be held in Colum bia, S C. in Jan. 1913.

C.I m m m i r i s g 2 » i ^ f c i s i -•s- - r About the Price of Mules. Charleston News and Courier. Kentucky, where they drink whiskey and breed mules, is very blue because the mule market is not holding up. Henry W atter son’s paper asserts that “owing to the high price of feed and the low price of cotton, the Southern States are not buying as many mules at present as is generally the case at this season of the year.’? There fore Kentucky grieves and the ra tions in many homes have been cut down considerably. 'Somebody must be “ putting one over” on Kentucky. If the price- of mules has slumped, folks in this part of the world know nothing bout it. It still costs the profit on eighteen bales of cotton to buy one mule. It may be true that the South is not. buying so many mules but it is paying just as much for those it does buy as it ever did pay The market- may not be very active but it certainly is^ery firm. Mules are holding th'eir'own. It is the planter who is kicking. Tht Danger After Grip lies often in a run-down system.

THE PEOPLE'S RIGHTS MAINTAIN; UNAWED BY INFLUENCE AND UNBRIBED. BY GAIN." MOCKSyiLLE. NORTH CAROLINA. WEDNESDAY. APRIL 24, 1912, LETTER from the far west. a Great Country, But No Better Than North Carolina.—Don't Go Weat Without Plenty of Money. Dear Piditor and Beaders;—This beautiful summer day my mind wanders back to my childhood home. I can imagine myself back again as in days past, and this beantiful Easter Sunday I have wandered again through the streets of Mocksville and over the hills with my playmates. Those were happy days. We never realize what a grand country the Sunny South land is until too late, • Any young man is foolish indeed to leave North Carolina and come west. There is no question in re gard to opportunities being more abundant there than here. This country is overrun w ith hungry, homeless men—men th at are w ill ing, yes anxious to get any kind of work, and they walk from place to place searching, but all in vain. I have lived in W ashington State for three years and know w hat I say to be a reality. Not a day goes by that there isn’t from two to three men at the ; door asking for at least a crust of bread; not tramps but honest men, willing to work, and many of them w ith fam ilies, not only in W ashington but Oregon and California. In San Francisco there are 30,000 men that have no money, no home and hardly clothes to keep them warm. And worst of all, dear lriends, hun gry. Why is that? Because of the literature sent out boosting the Btateand city. These poor men use their funds coming out and find to their great sorrow th at ev ery job is taken and nothing for tbem. In Seattle, W ash., there are 3,000 idle and three men to every job in Spokane. I never pick up a home paper but what I see where some one has eome west, and I think how very foolish. It’s not so bad when one has friends or plenty of money to carry them through, but even then there’s no place like the “ Old North State.” Atthepresent tim e our little town is tied up with a strike, it being a terminal of the Oregon, Washington Bailroad and N aviga tion Company, one of the Efarri- man lines. The strikers are m ak ing a noble fight, and I am sorry Io say that one, Boy Arm field, a native of Surry county, N orth Car- olina, is scab pipe fitter, having taken the place of strikers, Messrs. ®ell and Wallace, both-being men with iamilies. Armfield has a wife sud two small children. H e was employed on a ranch at H ay, six teen miles from here, until the strikewas called, then he came over here and took a job wiping engines and was then prom oted to pipe work. A scab is not respect ed by any one, not even among themselves. The business people ^on't trust them and-honest people don’t recognize them a t all. The same “Scab,” followB them throu iife. They can never get into any union. The time has come when nil laboring people m ust belong to a union to protect themselves. _ believe that the time is nearly here ^hen every class of laboring peo ple in America will be in .. a big strike. One’ will naturally stop ®Qd ask, w hat will th at lead to? ®s, what? O nly this—a war be ween capitr d and labor, and no shoring ma n that respects hiffl- ®e'fi cares loir his family or loves °®e comfo rt,?, will take a jo b as a scab, if non-unionists could ®uly be made to realize th at they 1 injuring tfiUemeelves and fami- les Iar more Whrin they are the un- unists. They, w ould surely join e Strikers w hen the poor union- ^ s cannot Iiw eand support their aUrilies and give them sufficient ^mforts. H ow canthesiB abs 'do Hi., they T od W stop their wWka th ey mould jo in ; the dirty NUMBER 42 great Federation of Labor and re ceive benefit by the great fight. W hen the great strikes are settled where do the poor unloved, friend less outcasts called scabs go. They sink into oblivion to never again be classed with honest people, for wherever they go they find Only union men employed. So there; is no more use for the strike' break ers, so the poor fellows m ust move on; no money, no job, hungry, ’no home and heartsore. W hyl -Be cause he was a Btrike breaker in the great strikes of 1911 and 1912, and the unions will not have any such men. I t grieves me to think th at a native of the dear sunny State of N orth Garolina could so degrade him self and family. Ju st one thing more. I have the privilege of casting a vote for our next President, and expect to east my ballot sor “ Olark.” I hope this letter will influence some to stay in their own State, where they can have more luxuries and in the end mOre money, also get more happiness. W ith best wishes to all, Mb s. Beulah Current Ladd. Slarbuck, W ash. , A pr. 7,1912. To the Cotton Growers of the SoutL I feel it proper and advisable in me as the one who should be best informed as to probable results to be expected under the “ Beck’H ili Plan” movement for reduction of eotton acreage, to sound a final warning to everyone who has sign? Cd the “ Bock H ill Plan” pledge to adhere strictly to it not only as a m atter of personal honor, butrfor the sake of his own direct gain and protectionT W ith equal emphasis I would urge all, in th tir own interest, who have not been reached by Bock: H ill plan canvassers, or who have declined to sign Ihe pledge, to cut the acreage and cut it deep. My opinion of the judgm ent of the man who will increase his acreage this year is not flattering. Planting tim e is about on throughout the belt, and the Bock H ill plan work is being closed, up in the several states, w ith an un usually late spring prevailing gen erally over the lbelt. The move ment of fertilizer has. gotten a tar dy start, but has put on a mighty gait recently. Those who look to a late spring the noise of fertilizer redaction, or.to the other fellow doing the re ducing—to any combination of these—to protect them against low prices are apt to be the ones to suffer. The only safe course in the pres ent crisiB is to cut the acreage and cut it deep. The spring of 1897 is said to be the latest on record. The num ber of acres planted that year exceeded 1896 by 1,046,375, and the number, of bales produced ex ceeded 1896, by 2,400,000 w ith the result that prices were low during the fall of 1897. If we are to take 1897 as an example, it will not do to depend on the bad weather do ing the work. W e have a four million bale pur- plus banging over our heads.

The chickens Ure scratching and the neighbors are quarreling all over, the state. A t Fayetville it has/about reached the town meet ing stage. They have been writing pieces-of more or less asperity to. the Observer, which good Major Hale prints, but exhort peace. The row there is for a law against chic kens at large. W e had supposed there was a state law against de predations by chickens and we have a vague idea that there is, and that the Fayetteville people will find it sufficient to suit their Case/ A t any rate, spring garden- ingio Salisbury ought to be a de light, undisturbed by the scratch ing hen. The whole of Bowan county has had a chicken law in force for three years. -This Jaw. makes it unlawful for any person, ip th at county to perm it any tur- keys, geese, chickens, ducks or other domestic fowls to run at large after having been notified, on any lands that may be cultivated in any kind of grain or feed stuff or used for gardens or ornamental purposes. The Bowan law lays the penalty in plain language. The finufor a person perm itting chiek ens to run ac large after having Iston notified, is $5. Then, “ if it shaiTapp'ear to any justice of the peace/ thatm fter two days notice, any persists in allowing b is fowls to run at large and fails or refuses to; keep them up, the said justice of peace may order any sheriff, constable or other Officer to kill said; fowls, or said justice of the peace may in his discretion deph. tize the complaining partyFo kill, fowls when so depredating.” Ma jor H ale will hardly take sides . in the Fayetteville chicken scratching war, but if a town meeting is fin ally called, he might get some an ti-chicken leader to read the Ro waff resol ves as a pattern.—Oharl - otte Chronicle. - Ddn’t Suffer! “ I had been troubled, a iittie, for nearly 7 years,” m ites Mrs. L Rnchert in a letter from Peavyt Ala., “ but I was not taken down, until March, when I went to bed and had to have a' doctor. He did ail he could for me, but I got no better. I hurt all over, and I could not rest At last, I tried Carduit and soon Lbegan to improve. Now I am in very good heaith, and able to do ail my housework.” The WomansTonic You may wonder why Cardui is so successful, after other remedies have failed. The answer is that Cardui is successful, because, it is . composed of scientific ingredients, that act curatively on toe womanly system. It is a medicine for women, and for women only. /It builds, strengthens, and restores weak and ailing women, to' health and happiness. ; If you. suffer like. Mre. Fincher. did, fafce -Cardui.

The county convention is hereby called to meet at the Court House in the town of Mocksville, at I o’clock, p. m., on Mon day, the 6th day of May, 1912, for the purpose of electing delegates to the State Convention to be held at Raleigh, on May 15,1912, and to elect delegates to the Congressional Convention to be held at Lexington May 14th. 1912, for the purpose of electing delegates to the National Convention. The Chairman requests that the Chairman of each Precinqt Commit tee call their primaries to meet at their respective precincts on Saturday, May 4, 1812, to elect delegates to the County Convention on the following Monday.C. G. BAILEY, Ch’m Co. Ex. Comm.J. F. MOORE, Sec’y. The swatting season is here, and the mayor talks of swatting the bi cycle riders. The Record has been swatting the dog, and some of our subscribers have been swatting The Record. Every Republican in Davie county should attend the Republican coun ty convention to be held in this city on Monday. May 6th North Carolina seems to be almost solid for Roosevelt and Morehead. But if we mistake not, Mr. Taft will be the next President Of the United States. Several hundred wagons were* In town,the past week hauling out fer tilizer. It will take many bales ■ of- cotton to pay the fertilizer bills this fall. A building and loan association, would be a blessing to every citizen- in Mocksville. No reason why we should not organize an association here. T herichasw ellas the poor man would be benefitted. Pay your poll tax before Wednes day of next week, if you want to; vote this fall. Better see the sheriff j today, lest you forget about the m atter. Also inform your neigh bors about this matter. There are twenty-seven Democrats in Rowan county asking for the va rious county offices, and the election is six months off; which is another, reminder that Democrats don’t want office in this section. Don’t get excited beloved because the Democrats are just ’‘sweeping the country.” They always'do that right up to the night before the election, and then the Republicans turn the trick on them and save the country.—Exchange. Since the death of Mr. Aycock if the party insist upon a four handed game, we suppose the Honorable Robert Broadenax Glenn could, be persuaded to enter the race. Of course he wouldn(t stand a ghost of a chance of being elected, but Bob by loves the lime-light and no doubt would enjoy it.—Ex.

Peace, sweet peace and pleasant dreams await thee, ye no ble road scraper. About two weeks ago the Repub licans of Wisconsin, we believe it was, got into a regular old-fashioned fight at their convention. Democrat ic papers devoted much, editorial space to the incident.

New York, A pril 18 — How the W hite Star liner Titanic, the Iarg est ship afloat, sank Sunday night carrying to death 1,601 of, the; 2,- 340 aboard, was told to the world In all its awful detailB for the first Mme tonight with the arrival here of the Carpathia bearing the ex hausted survivors of the disaster Of the great facts that stand out from the chaotic 'accounts of the tragedy, these are the mostsalient; The death list was increased rather than decreased. •_ ; Six persons died after being res cued. The list of prominent pers ons include John Jacob Astor, Maj. Archie Butt, Wm. T. Stead, Isidor Straus and wife, and many Others, including several millionaires. Practically every woman and child, with the exception" ot wo men who refused to leave fheir husband, was saved. The isurvivors on the life boats saw the lights of the stricken ves sel glimmer to the last, heard her band playing and saw the doomed hundreds on her deck, and heard their groans and cries when tbe vessel sank. When the Titanic struck the ice berg she was making 21 knots an hour. Many of the survivors are reported as having become iskane. The wreck of the Titanic is the worst in the world’s history. How to Change The Schedule. : WinstoiiJoumaL W hile the people of ,Charlotte and Mooresville areEeekiiig to have the schedule changed on.one:of-the passenger trains over the' North Carolina M idland Railroad, the people of Winston Salem' witl, it is believed, turn their, efforts to se curing a change pn;tlie other train. According to a promibentbnuiness man of the eity, who wak.diacuss- ing the p f e p ^ d 'i& a h g ^ here is the schedule that; the -peo- PleiOf W inston-Salem 'w anfe'- Train No. %1, ^ t e h hljw iaavea W ingtchiSalem ■ at 2:35 p; m.. should Ii^ke?;fiefe - at 7:20 a. m., m ake^ connection' With the trai n frflm Salisbury ;to Ashe ville at Barber’s Junctioii and also connection at 10o’clock a>; m., with southbound vestibule out. Qf Char lotte, and return to W instm Sa lem In the afternoon. A t present this train leaves Charlotte in the morning, comes to Winston-Salem and returns in the afternoon. The object is ju st to reverse this order. It is pointed out that with the proposed schedule in effect on No. 27, the people of Winstion Salem would have an excellent morning service and splendid connections with trains going west and. south. A t present it is necessary to catch the 5:40 train here in the morning and go to Gireensboro to get started either west _ or south. The new schedule would save both time and expense lor the traveling' public. J. F; Ward Dead. J. F.

O Speaking of respectability, no party that is respectable will up hold vote-stealing and ballot, box Btnffiing. The Democratic voters should either repudiate their representa- tives'in,Congress, or change their platforms. Last week’s murder record In North Carolina was one for every day in the week, which is not very good record for Democratic “ good government.” The Indianapolis News says when a man feels like making fool of himself it’s a sign he iB in love.

BEWARE of OINTMENTS for CAT VRRH THAT CONTAIN MERCURY. There is more tJatarrn in this sec tion of the country than all other diseases put together, and until the last few years was supposed to be incurable. For a great many years doctors pronounced it a local dis ease and prescribed local remedies, and by constantly failin to cure with local treatment, pronounced it incurable. Science has proven catarrh to be a constitutional dis ease and therefore requires consti tutional treatment. H all’s Catarrh Cure, manufactured by BV J, Che uey & Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitutional cure on thema S ket. I t is taken internally in doses from 10 drops to a teaspoonful.

Main St^ Richmond, Va. -New Rabbit-Catching Scbeme.- There is always somethjng new un der the sun. The latest scheme or invention to catch rabbits has just reached us, and it occurred during the last snow near Siler City. _ A man of this township went hunting the day after the snow and coming to a piece-of new-ground found lite rally hundreds of traeks. There were dozens of brush piles in the field and the tracks of course led to all of those piles. A bright idea was suggested to this hunter and lie at once went home, secured a seining net and re turned to the field ready for busi ness. The long sein was placed a- ronnd a pile and the rabbit‘shewed’ out, and by the time he had visited fifteen piles he had more rabbits thata he could carry, and there had to discontinue his wholesale efforts. We would suggest the use of a sein to all our hunters upon the occasion of the next snow.—Siler City Grit. “My little son had a very severe cold.

Poweil filed a pa per in which he set forth that cer tain allegations of Lawyer W . D.

Presently he saw Powell in the clerk’s office and going up to him said:.: “ Re peat what you said in court.” “ Repeated.” said P ow ell.. The dance was about to begin when the clerk told them they couldn’t fight in his office. The two walked out on the court house green, took .off. th eir- coats and squared for action. It was an old-time stand-up fightv Carter struck Powell and knocked him down but did not jum p on him, and waited for Powell to get up, Powell then lauded on Carter and knocked him dowb, but it was only a half fall. Both then , stood np and waited several minutes to get their breath . The fight lasted 15 minutes and consisted of two rounds. The men were very even ly matched, Carter being the older man of the tw o;v and both bore marks of the encounter.
