05-MayMERE SHALLlTHE TOE PEOPLE’S RIGHTS MAINTAIN; UNAWED BV INFLUENCE AND UNBRIBED BY GAIN.” VOLUMN XIII MOCKSVILLE. NORXB CAROLINA; WEDNESDAY NUMBER 42 Union Republican • In Philadelphia a few days Jago, President Taft addressed the Chamber of Oommeree of that city. He told them he believed the peo­ ple were on the eve of better times; that things were growisg better, and that he believed, there would be no coal strike. H e said he had no jurisdiction in settling strikes, a n d that he knew enough to wait to see if you were welcome, and not go to ‘‘butting in” to a matter between parties who knew their rights. The president said be was rectionary, but was a progressive; that he was not a pessimist but an optimist. The president’s speech a t the bourse was the first of several he delivered in Philadelphia. H e ar­ rived at 6 p. m. and was driven down Market street to the bourse. There were a large num ber of per­ sons on the street, but there was no Bpecial enthusiasm. From the bourse M r. T aft was driven to th e . Bellevca-Stratford Hotel where htj addressed the Ohio Society of Philadelphia. L ater in the evening the President w ent to Horticultural H all near by, At the bourse the president, af­ ter touching on the proposed N ati­ onal Chamber of Commerce, said in part. There is no office th a t. the gov­ ernment performs more im portant lor the individual in the commun­ ity than the aiding of business prosperity and the rem oval from the business progress of the ob­ stacles that interfere w ith prosper­ ity. It is when there is lots of bus­ iness doing; when everybody has a a job; when thA wheels o f induatry are humming so loadly th a t you can not hear anything else, th at the poor and the wage earner qra the happiest. Tt is when he is making good wages and constant wages that everybody In the com­ munity is more nearly happy Ahan at any other time. While I do not deprecate in any way the movement for real reform and progress, provided it is sane and is not affected w ith fads and a disposition to disturb those things that have been useful to us for a hundred years. T am neverthe­ less conscious that there is no duty so heavy on the government at Washington as th at of seeing to it that it intefere as little as possible with the business of the country and the progress of the enterprises of the country and assist the inspi­ ration of confidence in those whose confidence is necessary to make business go and to bring about prosperity. I am in favor of the enforcement of the law but I believe th at the law and business can be squared inr such a way so that those who vio­ late the law may be prosecuted ai d tiere may be ah absence of perse- o ition and no disposition to run a- muck just for tire purpose of show­ ing the government a t W ashington realizes that it has a job and is trying to inakej people think it has. ^ The American people are the most conservative people in the world. W hile !it does seem from the headlines of the newBpapbrs as if they wish to dlscounteyefything in the future arid have all progress reOdy the next morning for break­ fast, on the whole, when you get down to the Stratrum of Bolid- thinking Americans there are no PeoPle in the world th at are so con­ servative, that iecognize good tkibg as long as it serves them welL ?hey can talk about our present Shyemment and its defects. WeJ ^ tke defects better than any? y. and we are w illing to point - out, and we also know a s we °°k about the w orld th a t for 125 years we have bad th e bestgoverc - me^ ever created. * aoH “ not Roiog to m ake us re* J ^ i* ary and sit baek w ith asnng wfaction that Sfrall reject any movement for reform or any move­ m ent toward progress. It, on the other hand, does keep us^ane, and it,dpe8 keep us ift a condition of m ind-where we ^how that there is no royaj road to;- improvement. I donlt mean to say'that there may not be some machinery that is bet ter adiapted for th ep u rp o se than that we have; but w hat I do me^n to say is that, generally speaking, no new machinery is going to work to make a great progress th a t we m ight not accomplish under exist­ ing m achinery, if th e kdividnal grows better and better; and that it does not help m atters to transfer from one machinery to another when the same defects are going to interfere with , the second ma­ chinery th at now appear in Uie first, and you are not going to im­ prove your community by assnm ing w ith respect to the new method th at it is going to work better when th at new method is going to require three times as much popular atten- tentiou to government as you give to-day. Now, I am not reactionary. I am a progressive. I am not a pes­ sim ist, I am-an optim ist and I be­ lieve th at we are going forward. believe we are on the eve of good times. ■ I believe, thir.gr- are grow­ ing ootter and I am delighted Jto know th at there is a solution of the soft coal strike in the W est a n d l sincerely hope, and I believe I have some reason to hope, th at th e hard coal strike in the Bast is near solu- tion. Ofooqrse, as Presicent of the TJnited States I have no jurisdic­ tion in this m atter. It is only as a private citizen greatly inter-' ested in the welfare of all thgjeem i munities th at I would have the right at any tim e to attem pt by suggestion to solve the difficulties and I hope I know enough to know th at it is best to wait and know you are welcome tbah to go “ but* ting iu” to a m atter between par­ ties who know their rights, are able to settle them and both of whom, I am sure desire a peaceful and satisfactory solution . I am glad to believe th at in this particu­ lar instance mediation will not be necessary; th at there will be a sat­ isfactory solution because both parties are in th at frame of ’mind, A t the Ohio Society dinner. President Taft spoke on the recall of judges, defended, the Consti- Iutioni said bis adm instratioh had been progressive and pointed out some of the reasons why he thought it was progressive. In speaking of the recall of jud* ges the president said: “ la m here, to express my gratitude for the de-~ monstration given by this fouiitrjj th a t all the surface talk and IeC- Iaring does not represent the opin­ ion of the people. W e are a con­ servative people, ready forprogg&a on a conservative basis.” g r J JMr. Taft spoke of “ nolsyreform- ers” who m ake plans for reform w ithout having worked o u t a scheme th at has any basis. The president replied indirectly to th e question raised by some of his political opponents, “ Shall the people rule?” H e said th at he: had beep elected president by only 8 per cent of the total population of the V °ited States. Unless A dult women and children and others who did not now possess suffragewere given the right to vote, he said this is about as neafcas we cap come to popular, government. - In a brief speech before the American Academy of Political and; Social Science the President touch­ ed upon the anti trust law, and spbke of the plan for placing cor­porations under national supervis­ ion.

If a man owns dog that he really considers valu­ able arid can’t make up his. mind to part with, then he ought to be will­ ing to pay tax on that dog just the sturie as he would on any other valu- ablepiece of property, and we don’t believe mariy substantial citizen Wopld object to such an arrange­ ment.

St. Lucie, Fla., April 23, 1912.Mr. Editor:—It’s «kot down here and there’s, no lying about that. E.’ L. Jr., and I were out on the river yesterday: in the sail boat (Little Davie), and if you could see this nose of mine, and the back of my naik this morning, you wouldn't have to qualify before’our old friend'Esq. Williams that something had happened. I’m laid up today for repairs with posi­ tive instructions to admit, no girls,. not even old maids or widows. But it's said all’s well that ends well.. Of course I've got to get well and help E. L. Jr., spend that Iumg of doe—the proceeds of that boat load of fish he turned in to the -fish house last night. Mt. Editor, I reckon I made a mistake in signing my name ' to my little communications to The Record. Time—IVe got lots of that and ti spire, answering letters, .and you’d be surprised to know how many I’ve had to answer. Didn’t know half so many folks read yoiir paper. But it has., been a great pleasure to me to answer everyone of them, and the only thing I’m quarrelling about' is naving to dig down into niy old empty jeans pocket for the wherewith- to pay foe stationery and postage? Butit’ssaid the Lord helps them'that help themsel­ves, and I thought I saw thaj demonstra­ ted yesterday-when I was: throwing out— .iot the life line—but the death line and .oping in them great big trout, ( Say to uiy friend Mr. Rinard Foster Oiat -I’m shoulder to shoulder with him on both' propositions, a dog law and better! roads.' As proof of the latter, would refer him to subscription list of South River and Jeru­ salem sand clay road. In discussieg the dog and good roads question with my ne­ phew, Mr. J. W. Davis, I was struck with one of his comical witty remarks. Said you could make goo-goo eyes at a man’s wife, steal all his girls, do a whole lotvof other mean things and go unpunished, jut just kick his dog and he would shoot you just as sure as he could get his old gun to fire. I thought that a t>ood. illus­tration of the proposition you’ve got to buck up against on the dog law. Now a word or more on the good road question, and done. The people of this, St. Liicie county, the coudty ia whieh I’m sojourn­ ing, have voted an issue of $200,000 bands for good roafs, and I'm told the bondsare sold, contracts let ank from, the window —a hole in the wall—I can see one of the contractors with his force clearing off/the clght-of-way along the East Coast rail­ road, and Mr. Dayis predicts that in ten. years or less it will add to this township alone more than the I entire issue of bonds. E. L. Jr., didn’t come across, and to sustain my reputation for truth' Kve got to tell it on. him? Sunday .evening over on the beach, and everybody goes to the beach Sunday, the ,little fellow was sitting (here with his best girl, and.-I'll admit-she was pretty, enjoying the breeze and watching the waves come rolling in, when the little d—I thought he was in­spired and said, “Little sweetheart, what does them beautiful waves seem to whis­ per.” She flashed ;them big witchy lumi­nous eyes on. him and said, “Ed,1 you- Iit- tle dunee, they, don’t Whisper at alii they just hollow slash gosh-bang dang.” The shock was too sudden far his nerves, and as the lamented. Sam Jones would say, he like to faded, but the dear little girl was equal to the emergency—ran to - the ocean and got her hat full of wather, bathed his head and poured about five gallons down the back of. his - naik, the little fellow came around all right, but says he will never go to the beach again Sunday evenings, it’s conpucive to heart failure ^nd I- reckon he is right.

The Dog Law. v. ^ »■ Mr. Editor:—I wish to write a few linesinregardto that dog law I have been reading so much about here of late. I am in favor of a reasonable dog law. Put 50c. on the male and $1 on the female" dtigs, and put this tax in the county treas­ ury as a fund to pay for the dam­ ages that these dogs do. If they suck ypur eggs or kill your sheep or chickens, or any other=damage; let the loser have pay fo r same. M e farmers like to have ourdogs for a little sport in winter as thaWsabout all the pleasure we and our boyfeget to enjoy is to go out with our hounds and hear them chase the old rabbits around the hills and down the Val­ leys, and the farm boys’ echosourad. This is great sport for the boy and the old man. Iw antthecounty to pay a bounty for mole, crow and Irnwk scalps.

They are-troubled with "nerves "_ they suffer from backache, headache, sleeplessness, a sensation of irritability or twitching, hot flashes, dizzy spells, or many other symptoms of female weakness.

The doctor said I had inflammation, enlargement and lacer­ ation. I was in bed eleven weeks and got no better. The doctor said I would have to have an operation, but to that I would not listen. My hus­band purchased two bottles of Dr. Tierce’s Favorite Prescription. When I started to take this remedy I could not walk across the floor, but after I had taken three bottles I could feel myself gaining, so I dropped the doctor and took Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription: O nhrfor it I think I would have been dead—I really believe it saved my life, lfe e lb e tte r M bs.

A nervous gentleman, of wealth and influence, had sought to have officials of his community restrain a certain woodpecker that had ac­ quired the habit of pecking on an old dead tree near his home. The court rules, without a dis senting opinion, that to interfere with the pecking of the woodpeck­ er would be undue “ restraint of trade,” declaring in short, that the woodpecker’s bill was given him by Providence for the specific purpose of pecking. Tbe victim of insomnia is there­ fore either requested to endure the pecking, or move to a woodpeck erless region.

WEDNESDAY MAY 8,NUMBER 44 OLD NORTH STATE GARDEN spot of the word. The State of Rare Opportunity Favored in Every Natural Resource. Southern Field. The 4S,5S0 square miles com pris­ ing the area of the State of !forth Carolina form a prosperous .and growing section of vast present wealth and even greater possibili­ ties for the future. No region in all this country iB able to hold foith greater or more varied.^op­ portunities along so many lines as this old established commonwealth familiarly called the “ Old N orth State.” Xorth Carolina has rich soils, great wealth of minerals,, large re­ sources of timber, trem endous un­ developed water power, a mild and healthful ciimate, many and rap­ idly growing cities, and a record for one of the greatest industrial advances witness during the past decade. Out of a total area of over 30.000.000 acres, there were in 1910 about 10,000 acres in im prov­ ed farms, hardly 35 per cent, of the entire area. Population, ac­ cording to the last census, was 2,- 206,287, giving a density of 45 persons to the square mile. Norlh Carolina has over 3,OQOjOOO spin­ dles in textile mills, using nearly 350.000.000 pounds of cotton an­ nually; an annual lum ber ..cut of nearly 2,250,000,000 feet; a corn productiou of over 60,000,000 bush­ els annually; an output of minerals reaching $2,000,000 in value each yeary a railroad mileage of 5,300; . estimated value- of all property, 81.120.000.000, and an annaal pro­ duction of staple crops, -exclusive of truck, fruit and live stoek, reaching to $110,000,000. Like its neighbor, V irginia, the State of North O aroliuais divided into three great sections: the Coas­ tal Plain, a wide and level stretch ofcountry, w ith lig h tg ray sandy soils, extending back from the A t­ lantic to the more elevated and rolliLg Piedmont Section, . which occupies about one-third ol the en­ tire area of the State and is the foremost region in agricultural and industrial development, and the Mountain Region, a lofty and rug­ ged stretch of country, with peakB ranging up to 6,000 feet and over in elevation. The soils ot the Pied­ mont region are rich and varied aud produce the finest cropB of corn, tobacco, cotton, grains and grasses. This country is well wat­ ered and has many excellent fruit­ growing 6oils. Stock thrive on its fertile uplands. The M ountain section is also a fruit-growing coun- try-in fact it is here that the great Western North Carolina or- Practically every agricultural ac­ tivity can be suitably located on North Carolina soils. The State has numerous rivers, which affoid good drainage and have m arked beneficial effects on th ed im ate. The mean annual -temperature for the State is 58.9 degrees. The owest monthly average is 40 de­ grees in January and the highest, In July. These figures indicate a ®arked absense of extremes of temperature iu N orth Carolina, ‘he annual rainfall in N orth Car- ®lna is fifty inches, well distribu ® • The greatest- amount iB in hgust, when an average of Six oo es falls, and the least in Oc- ® er and November. Farmhrs ^euld note that this is a most-ad- entageous distribution for- grow* g and harvesting periods., KiU-. J j vT s occur between the latter AprU ^ Ct0l)er an^ the middle - of stmulth CaroliDa bas several great m ® croP8- Cotton occupies a Pjju, . . It thrives best in the I>»ring the season of 1911 the State produced over one million bales of the staple. Cotton is very profit able to the farmer if properly grown. In o n e y e a ra N o rth Car* olina grower made a profit of $38 per acre srom a large field—a fig­ ure by no means uncommonly reached. As high as three bales to the acre have beer, the record made by several Carolina growers. Xields of tobacco in the tier of counties on the northern border of the State run very high and the best grades sell at from fifteen to forty cents per pound. Many to­ bacco men receive $200 an acre for their crop. In 1911 the tobacco crop was worth near’y $15,000,000 to North Carolina farmers. The State produces from 50,000,000 to 60,000,000 bushels of corn annu­ ally and is steadily growing in out­ put. Few States have made larger yields per acre. The reoord for the State is 226 bushels to the acre, while hundreds of farm ers have reported yields ot over 100 bush­ els on large fields. One corn grow­ er made a profit of $62 per acre from an eighty acre field in corn, W heat, oats, rye, buckwheat, bar­ ley and other grains are !success­ fully grown in N orth Carolina. Yields of fifty bushels and :over of w heat are often made on the red lands of the Piedm ont, while oats give forty and even sixty 'bushels under proper cultivation. Bice is produced in the eastern part of the State to a small extent and is very profitable. N orth Carolina stands second in production of buckw heat. Potatoes are grown to the amount of 7,000,060 bushels annually* yielding from 100 to MO busheTs to the aere and commanding a high price on account of good quality. In the light soils of the Piedmont and Coastal Plain early potatoes are grown, while in the western part of the State potatoes and cab­ bage form a combination largely produced. Profits of $200 to the acre in cabbage have been; noted. Sweet potatoes will yield several hundred bushels to the acre in N orth Carolina, and shipm ents of over 10,000 barrels from stations along the Southern Railway are made. Tomatoes, grow well all oves the State and are most profit­ able in the western region. A thousand bushels of encumbers has been made on au acre by a trucker. Lettuce is grown for March and November m arkets, while all va­ rieties of onions are grown. Great crops of kale and spinach are taken off the fields in January and Feb­ ruary for Northern markets, and asparagus, celery, beans, peas, cauliflower, melons, cantaloupes and many other profitable truck crops add to the profits of the Car­ olina growers. There are no better fruit regions in the country than the slopes of the Piedm ont section. N orth Car­ olina apples are of the finest qual­ ity and grow the greatest crops under proper methods. In the H orticultural Show at 3t. Joseph, M o., in 1911, N orth Carolina fruit took over twenty first prizes, sev­ eral-sweepstakes, - and the grand prize for the finest box of apples grown in the Bast, -There are fine peach .orchards in m any-parts of N orth Carolina. Grape-growing has reached considerable propor­ tions also, and at Tryon. Valdese and Other points in ' the western section fine yields of . Catawbaa, Delewares and Niagaras are made. Berries of all kinds, cherries, quin­ ces, pears and plums flourish on the soils and are largely grown. - N orth Carolina is one of the fin­ est stock regions.

Needed in Mocksville. Charlotte Observer. “ Ot the 34,000 people living in Charlotte, 25,500 of them occupy homes erected through the agency of the building add loan associa­ tions.” T hisfaetw as developed as the result of an investigation made by The Observer Beveral weeks ago among the four local associations, the Mechanics’ Perpetual, M utual, Charlotte and Mecklenburg. It transpired that three out of every four houses constructed in Charlotte were built with funds secured from the building and loan associations and that in other cit­ ies included in the investigation, notably Chester, Fdgefield and Concord, they reported sim ilar ex­ periences, It also developed that although the four local associa­ tions had handled millions of dol­ lars since their organization, the oldest thirty and the youngest four years ago, th at not one penny had ever been lost. A review pt these facts, which were given iti detail in The Obser ver, led a Charlpttegentlem an who is conversant with the subject and fam iliar w ith operations in Penn­ sylvania, Ohio and other States, to make the statem ent that the build­ ing and loan,, in his estimation, bad not yet attained its highest usefulness. Said he: ; ' “ The beneficent” lAcai^buUding and loan association is j UBt begin­ ning to recover from the doings of the interstate swindlers who im i­ tated them through a long period to the disaster of many people. The local building and loan has been constantly relieving itself of circumscribing handicapping con­ ditions. Tears and years ago it abolished charging premiums for loans. Later it provided to light­ en she fines of those who did not pay on tim e. Most local associa tions now start two to four series in a year, . “ In Ohio, they don’t have any series at all. Tne Ohio system has been called the ‘Dayton plan,’ and a person may go in and start shareB a t any time, it is j net as feasible to keep an account w ith an indi­ vidual stockholder in a building and loan association as it is tSYeep an account in a savings bank with an individual depositor, The profit of course is prorated and requires a little more book-keeping. But that is nothing as compared with the benefits that accrue to the people. . “ N either is there a reason why the term of loan should be 6 i years. It m ight as- well be made any num­ ber of years to suit -- the subscrib­ ing stockholder; For example, if the payment, of a 61 years is. too great for the convenience of the borrower, the-, period m ight be made 10,15 or even 20 years.

Noah Lutz, in Times-Mercury. ^ Text—“ If ye are honest, honor­ able men, go ye and pay the printer.” 4i ‘‘M y dear friends:—The debt M dt sits heaviest on the conscience of a mortal, provided he has one, is the debt due the printer. It presses harder on one’s bosom than the nightmare, galls the soul, frets and chafes every enoLling senti­ ment, squeezes all the juice of fraternal sympathy from tfce heart, and leaves it drier than the sur face of a roasted potato. A man who wrongs the printer out of a single red cent can never expect to enjpy the comforts of this world, apd may well have doubts of find ing'happinesB in any other. ' llHJh, you ungrateful sinners! If you have hearts moistened with theidew of mercy, insteod of giz zards filled with gravel, take heed what I say unto you. If there be one among you in this congrega­ tion who has notsettled his account with the printer, go and adjust if immediately, and be able to held up your heads in society , like a giraffe, be respected by. the wise apd: good—free from the tortures of a guilty conscience, the mortifi­ cation of repeated duns, and es­ cape from falling into the clutches of lawyers, whi'ch is about one and the ‘same thing. If yon are honor­ able aud honest men, you will go forthwith and pay the printer. ’ “ You will not wait for tomorrow, because there is no tomorrow;- it is but a visionary receptable for unredeemed promises—an addled eggiin the great nest ot the future; ‘ the !debtor's hope the ^reditor’s car|b. If yon are dishonest, low miqded'sons of Satan, I don’t sup. posh you will pay the printer, as you have no reputation to lose, no character to sustain, no morals to cultivate. But let me tell you, my friends that if you don’t do it, youjrpath to the tomb w ill.be. strejwn with thorns, you will have togather your daily food from brainbles; your children will die of dysentery, and yourselves will never enjoy the blessings of health. “ I once called upon a sick per­ son Iwhom the doctor had given up as a gone case. I asked him if he had; made his peace with his Ma­ ker; H e said he thought be had: squared up. Ienquired if he had forgiven all his enemies.. H e re- plied, yes, I then asked him if he had paid his printer. He hesitated a moment, and then said he be-t * lieved he owed him about.two dol- larsjand fifty cents, which he de­ sired to have paid before he bade goodbye to the world. His desires werb immediately gratified, and from that moment he became con­ valescent. H e is now living in the enjoyment of health and prosper­ ity, at peace with his conscience, his God, aud the whole world. Let him be an example for you, my friends'. Patronize the printer, take his paper and pay for it in advance, and your days w ill be long upon the earth and overflow­ ing w ith the honey of happiness.” : Mr. Bryan’s Attitude. M r.

OPPORTUNITIES I HAVE MISSED. mutvsBstaiG ForW antofa LittIe Capital a Fellow Often Miises Great Honor and Untold Riche*. Dick Naylor, in Homeand Farm. W hen one reads what are called the “ classified ad columns” of the newspapers, one is deeply impress­ ed with the absolute importance of having at command a good Bnpply of “filthy lucre,” in order to be able to avail himBelf of the oppor­ tunity they present. T b eseiittle three or four line ads often cause pangs of regret th at one’s crop of the “ iong green” is too short to permit of investing in some of the alluring schemes they offer. For example: Under the heading, “Business Chances,” I read this morning of ah “ up-to-date, thoroughly equipp­ ed modern five-sj;ory hotel” in a health resort town for sale for $100,090.. Unfortunately, I lack some $99,000 of having the neces sary sum to purchase the hotel and become a smiling Boniface ol a fashionable, money-making hos­ telry. There is a silver lining, however to the cloud of inability to buy a $100,000 hotel. If I had $100,000 I would have no earthly use for a hotel any way; so it-is not so bad after all; not to. be able to invest in one. Another advertiser desires to borrow $500, offering as collateral a nineteen-foot boa constrictor, which ;be fir,mlyffeolares is . worth. $1,500' The snakeman offers a liberal rate of interest, and it seems to be an inviting opportun­ ity, which I would perhaps eagerly grasp, but for one thing: I haven’t the requisite $500. There is a consoling thought, however, that soothes my disap­ pointment, and it is this: Should, by some unforeseen misfortune, the snakeman be unable to repay the $600, and I should be forced to foreclose my chattel mortgage, I would find myself the unwilling proprietor of an enormous, squirm­ ing reptile of Whiqh I should stand in mortal terror. That would be worse than being the owner of a white elephant, iio doubt, as the elephant would not at least try to swallow his master, while the snake might, not only attem pt such a feat, but succeed in it. So I am consoled at not being able to in­ vest in the snakejby the. thought that, later, on, the snake might inuest in me. One advertiser! wants to sell a Suburban grocery, well located on a prominent street, doing a paying Buqi nesB. He says further that the rent is cheap, and that the stock- will invoice $4,000. Ith a s aLways been a dream of mine to be the proud proprietor of a grocery store. . There is some­ thing fascinating: in the idea of being surrounded': at all times with good things to- eat. Ju st think of being: able, to eat a banana, an apple, orange or a bunch of grapes at au y p ld time you feel , like it, without: going ,down in to . your pocket andL-fisliiog.qnt a nickel, a dime or a quarter- to pay for them. Pleasing thought; eh! Think of the pleasure, too, of “ sampling” the many toothsome things that should come into ; my . store! * A slice Of nice, fresh cream, Swiss or even J^im bnrger cheese, with a handful of crisp crackers; are dainties worth while to a hungry man, and I am perennially hungry. Theny for a change, just think of lunching upon dried herring, sar­ dines or piekled pig’s.feet! W hat A royaltim e I could have if .I only had^thO neceiBsaiy $4,000 to buy -that grocery j^ f t! A nd think how economical^-we. could live, ,at home, and how much could be saved on the monthly family ex­ pense account during these times of high cost of living. W e could utilize much of the overripe fruit and vegetables at home, and w hat we couldn’t use ourselves we could feed to a flock of hens and thus get a big supply of eggs at a trifling cost. Is not the idea of running a suqnrban grocery store a fasci­ nating one? Rather Utopian, in fact. Alas, for the lack of that paltry $4,000, I m ust pass this golden opportunity up to a more fortunate man. So many fine business opportu­ nities have been lost to me that I feel like the poor poet felt when he woefully sang: “ ’Twas ever thus from childhood’s hour. I’ve seen my fondest hopes dispel; There’s sure to come a soakin’ shower, When I hain’t got no umberel.” : W iJh me the golden opportunity always comes when I am flat broke. SPRING. i Law’s Lash. .

Four years ago the Dispatch cusBed Kitch- in mightily, but when he was nomi­ nated for governor the Dispatch eat much crow. History repeats itself. Champ Clark or W. J. Bryan will doubtless be nominated for Presi­ dent on the Democratic ticket. The Peerless One seems to stand as much chance of being nominated as any of the others, and a little more for that m atter. Rooseveltseems to have every­ thing going his way in North Caro­ lina, but Taft seems to be carrying nearly everything in the North. Wouldn’t it be just too mean if Taft and Teddy were both thrown over and a new man nominated. Sidna Alien has been seen again near his home. This is no press dis­ patch or wireless message, just a plain statement that attracted at­ tention for a few moments one day last week. It is supposed Sidna was out trying to locate a detective. Massachusetts went half way for Taft, the otfcer half for Teddy, while Champ Clark lead Wilsontwo to one. New Hampshire instructed for Taft, while Democrats in Delaware were instructed for Wilson. Floridagave her entire Democratic vote to Un­ derwood. And thus it goes. Pertinent questions seem to be the order of the day. Wonder where Oscar Underwosd secured the cash to pay for his newspaper supple­ ments that were scattered through­ out North Carolina some time ago? It probably cost somebody at least $50,000.__________________- Every few days some fellow who owns a half dozen dogs and no hogs . or sheep, calls around or sends word to have his paper stopped, Let the good work go on.

The editor, accompanied by John Kerr Foster, had the pleasure of making a trip to the country Friday, and of taking din­ ner with Mr. and Mrs. B. J. Foster, of Cal- ahaln township. Words are inadequate to express the way we enjoyed that din­ ner.. To an editor, there is nothing that appeals stronger than a square meal, and we surely did enjoy a sumptuous repast, ^consisting of good old;country ham, to- oato pudding, white cream potatoes, BARR’S NEW STORE.

Mr. Foster has a delightful home, and his family consists of his mother, his wife and four bright children, two sons and two daughters, all of whom take a delight in making the visitor feel athome. While at Mt. Foster’s we took a peep into his smokehouse and discovered about forty hams, shoulders and middlings. His corn crib is also well stocked. When John Kerr saw the amount of meat on hand, he decided that we would have to make another trip over that way. We left Mocksville about 10 o’clock Friday morn­ ing on bicycles, and arrived home about 5 o’clock-that afternoon. Owing to the good roads, we were compelled to walk about 8 miles of the trip, and carry our wheels part of the way, but the pleasant stay at the hospitable home of Mr. and Mrs. Fostermore than compensated us for the discomforts we had to suffer, and we hope to go again some day. Trip to Advance. The editor, spent Tuesday at Advance taking in the commencement and ming­ ling with his enemies. The exercises were of a high order and the lacge crowd prerent conducted themselves in a be­ coming manner. When the noon hour arrived, our old friend, George.

M hen the game .was , caught and the chase ended he gave his dogs many a friendly pat on their heads and boasted of their chase and from Jiis lips there never fell a word of com? plaint or censure concerning' the work oi the dogs. A nd it was so that the eame man who: was so lavish with his words of eftconrage ment to h is dogs in tir e ehase pitch­ ed a crop and his- boys—good, strong lusty fellows that-they were worked hard irom-tbe first time the first furrow was drawn one fros­ ty morning in early ; spring until the last ear of corn arid lock of cot ton was gathered in the fall ' and hot one word.of encouragement did those boys get from their father, not a single time were they stim u lated with words of judicious praise and not once during the-long days of their toil was a kindly hand laid oh their heads and words of ap probation spoken to them . The dogs in the case were more kindly encouraged than were the boys at their work. The value.of a word of praise fitly spoken we do not begin to estimate. Almost any one will do better work under the stimulus of a few appreciavive words. A word of praise, in due time, bas kindled the spark of am bition in many a boy.

Written by Miss Carolyn Miller. A scientist has said that a thing is use­ ful only m proportion to its-service to mankind. Surely a man is great only in proportion to his usefulness to! his coun­ ter or to humanity. Itis impossible to single out any one man and say he is the greatest the country or state has pro duced. The person that does; that, as­ sumes a large responsibility, and after all is giving only his opinion on the subject. Therefore, since it is impossible with any degree of historical accuracy to say Wil­ liam R. Davie is the greatest North Caro­ linian that ever lived, it is the object of this thesis to show that he, at least, be­ longs in that Catalogue. William Richardson Davie Was born in England, in June, 1756. He came to America with his father when he was seven, and was .adopted by his uncle. His uncle, William Richardson; who lived near Waxhaw, was a Presbyterian der gyman, and desired that his adopted son should be weJJ educated. He was sent to Queen's Museum, a school near Char­ lotte, and a few years later entered the famous college in New Jersey, then called Nassan Hall, but now known as Prince­ ton University. WhiIe young Davie was at Princeton, his uncle died, leaving him a good estate. He was an ambitious boy and determined to make a name for him­ self. HewasgraduatedatPrincetonin 1776, with the highest honors. Then he returned to North Carolina and began the s.tudy of the law at Salisbury. From that time till near the close of his fife lie made his home in North Carolina. ^ To relate all of the incidents of a life as active and useful as Davie’s, would require much more time and space than is alloted to this brief sketch—also- more patience than is possessed by this audi- ience. Therefore we will consider briefly just a few of his most important services to his country. When we reflect upon the life of Davie and read the broken narrative of his military and-civic services, we picture in our mind a statesman of profound learn­ ing, ripe experience and mature age— that age which, attained in the public service, of itself commands respect and veneration. After Davie had received his license to practice law, he made his home iff Hali­ fax, where In 1786 he married Miss Sarah Jones, daughter of General Alien Jones. Being well connected with the leading- men of the State, it required but a very few years of practice in the courts of North Carolina, to render him one of the best known and most highly respected citizens. His clients came Dom all parts of the State, and some of our most' emi­ nent lawyers studied law undSr Davie. One of them, a judge of the .Supreme’ court, said that Davie was the best law­ yer he ever knew. Another judge de­ clared, “He is certainly to be ranked a mong the first orators whom the Ameri­ can nation has produced." The story of how Davie Saved the Con­ stitution is one which every Nottii Caro­ linian should know. In 1787 he was a member of the Convention at 'Philadel­ phia that framed the Constitution of the. United States, and had it not ,been for Davie’s.patriotism and wisdom 'the' con­ vention would probably haye broken up witimt adopting.any constitution. The important question was, “How many re­ presentatives'should each State: have in_- Congress?” The large- States contended the number should be in proportion to the population. The smaller Sfates re­ plied that the large States wottld have too much power in Congress. When the vote was taken it was a tie. Great ex­ citement prevailed, for neither,side would give way. In the midst of the confusion Davie rose to Jus feet. He said-that North Carolina being one of the larger Statea had voted against the plan of the small- nJr up with Greeley, could read oe night the boys downstairs !.I8pllit °f miscMef got bold of I atfiI*, dipped his feet in ink him to walk over a sheet Paper.

His speech was greeted with applause, the tie was broken and the Constitution saved. , In 1798, Davie was elected a member of the Legislature. A few days after the Legislature ronvened. he was elected Governor of North Carolina and^began his duties Dec, 4,1798. As ajjovemor he was interested in education, agriculture, and other matters Tor the improvement of the State. Buthedidnot remain governor long enough to accomplish much,. The United States needed him for an impor­ tant work and in September, 1799, he re­ signed his office as governor. This important business was; to pre­ vent a war between France, aneithe Uni­ ted States. France was. trying to make war on the United States, because our gpuntrff would not assist her as she (TramSb. had assisted us during the Re­ volution. President John Adgms sent three men to France to try-to settle? the dispute peaceably. ThC.ruIer of s France was Napoleon'Bonaparte. After, a long time, a treaty was adopted and war -was prevented. - In the fall, of 1800,, Davie brdughtthe treaty*to the 'United States and delivered it to President Adams- Iir the meantime Davie had rendered other important services to his State. In 1798 he-made his great speech in favor of ^es­ tablishing a university. Therewas mUdi opposition, but he overcame it. He wroth the law creating it; he influenced thd Legislature to pass it; he was one of the first trusteesfhe laid the cornerstone of the first building, and was always its warmest friend. For these reasons he is called “The Father of the University." "Some people are bom great, some a- chieve greatness, and some, have great­ ness thrust upon them.” In the part of his Hfe1Davie had honors thrust upon him, but he declined, saying he was too old for public life.

Of him Judge Gaston wrote: “He was' a greai man in an- age of groat men, - ad­ mired and beloved by the virtuous .and the wise.” . - ; Davie was again honored even many years after his death. In 1836 a new county was formed from a pnrt of Rowan, and it was named Davie in honor of this illustrious man. Our county cannot boast of good roads, good educational facilities. idges, numerous automobiles and simi­ lar modem improvements, whieh denote progressiveness and enterprise; but sure­ ly no county has a greater rightto boast of its name. Davie county has a fair name in North-Carolina, and may' each and every citizen .J bend his efforts to­ ward making it a living memorial, wor­ thy of its noble pdfent.

Some people may be called a fool, but that does not make it so, neith­ er does it seriously impair his truth and honesty. While The Record is not respon­ sible for tee views of its correspond­ ents, yet it endorses many tilings that they say. Truth and right crushed to earth will rise again. The day of the pet­ ty boss and his tools and manipula­ tors are near at hand. No thief can get our vote for any office in any party, A man who will steal a vote will steal bread from an orphan.________ Underwood and Wilson are said to be short on cash, but Teddy, Clark and others haven’t yet report­ ed any shortage. No one ever made anything by stealing what another man had, and never will. It is a mighty long road that has no turning. Whiskey soaks have, and once up­ on a time, did have a considerable following in this oourity, but the people have decided that they have had enough of them. In the future as in: the past, the man who impresses his honesty and fairness upon the people is not go­ ing to be told to take a back seat and sit down. There are but two ways of knock­ ing out a political machine.: One is in the primaries and convention^, the other is at the polls in Novem­ ber. Where one fails the other can be resorted to as a last means of ridding the people of boss rule. Minorities in Davie county Repub­ lican primaries and conventions are not needed or wanted, but they may be necessary to make a majority oh the day of the election. Nov. 5th. 1912. They are voters then, not enemies of the party. In controlling one’s passions and prejudices, one should not lose sight of right and justice. To remain si­ lent when wrong is being done, one thereby consents or agrees to the wrong, and are thus counted with and are upholders of the wrong. Underwood carried Mississippi, while Wilson and Roosevelt won out in Texas. Washington State - went for Clark, but gave Bryan over a hundred votes and tried to.! stam ­ pede the convention for the, "Peer­ less One,” but failed. Things are beginning to get exceedingly warm. Thechairm anof the Republican convention on Monday, the ;6th. by his promises previously made, and his high-handed rulings afterwards, was as guilty ,of the wrongs and in­ justices perpetrated as was the “lit­ tle Oracle” and his willing tools and henchmen. The Record doesn’t belong to a "steam roller company,” “court house ring.” or “ballot swiper,” and we shall take pleasure in'saving exactly what we please, condemn­ ing rottenness and rascality in our own party as well as in that of the enemy, when we think they deserve it, regardless of how many half dol­ lars we may lose or gain by it.

LETTER FROM FLORIDA. Mr. E d ito r: There’s two things I won’t knowingly do (even in Flor­ ida), the first is, I won’t say a dis­ respectful word about a rival if he does beat my tim e with a pretty girl—the other is, I won’t hunt or fish on Sunday if I should have to do without meat. In my last letter in the'beach episode, you had me say, “The little devil thought he was in­ spired,” instead of the little “dolt” as I said or intended to say. The last two weeks have been the most pleasant to me since I've been so -Journicg in the land of flowers. Sometwo weeks ago Mrs. J. W. Davis passed her fifty-fifth birth­ day along the journey of life. We got our heads together and planned to give her a surprise birthday sup­ per, and how completely we succeed­ ed was even a surprise to ourselves, We had the supper down at Mr. and Mrs. Hackett’s, (Collins place): it being the fartherest away from Mrs. Davis’ home, and aid us the more. in our plans. So complete: was the scheme carried out that we even got her down there and into the dining room before she even knew' what was up, but when she saw that ta­ ble loaded with good thiqgsand then more and more good things, with her brother just ten years older than herself, that we had smuggled up from down the river below Fort Pierce, and all the rest of us seated around the table, no wonder the flush of surprise mounted to the cheek, no wonder the eye sparkled and the lips smiled, as tokens of a glad heart. T rulyit was a happy little home gathering of loved ones. Mr. Editor, I'm down here again this week with my niece, Mrs. Dun­ ham, while her husband, Mr. Dun; ham, is attending the old Confeder­ ate Veterans reunion i t Macon, Ga.

On Saturday and Sindayi May 4th and 5th, thte fourth Davie County Baraca- ®tilajfea Convention convened in thi* city in response to an invitation extend- ed.by the ^arapa class of the Mocksville Bafctisf Sundajp school.;. On Saturday, at 2:30 o’clock, tfte devotionalexercises were conducted by J?ev. E. P. Bradley, of the 'jPr^by^rian Xbe address of welcome was made by Rev. Walter-IS: Wilson,.followed by the res^nse by Rev- S-M- Short of Cooleemee- A; business; meeting was held and the conyentipn. was more thunughly organized; during this session than ever, before., ,The fol­ lowing officers were elected for the fol­ lowing year: President, T.' K Caudell; Vice-President, Rev. S. M- Short; Secre­ tary, 0. C. Wall; Treasurer, J. P; Grepn'; At night, the convention-met at the court house, and the principal feature /pf the program Was an address by Mr, Hap old Early; of Winstons on', the., subject: “The great work that has ; been done by the BaracarPhilathea .moveineijtr ”. Jfe; Early's address was full of: thought and good advice. Rev; Chas- Hj Utleyi was to discuss the subject of “Opnorturt- ity," was absent because of siisktiess.but Miss Flossie A. Byrd, of Greensboro, filled his place in a very efficient .,way.. Xhe Cooieemee band furnished riiu6ic. . - An important and interesting feature of the program oh Sunday mormng,' eons sisted of reports from the classes of the county. Out of the twenty classes now, in Davie county, sixteen reported at the convention. These reports show that the Baraca-Philathea movement is ^rovirii|g fast in Davie county. “Kind ViTords-y Was discussed by Mr. 0. C.- Wall and r^*The Kind of Class I Believe In;”, by Mr? T. L Caudell.'''Then the. convention repaired, to the Presbyterian church to hear Miss Flossie A. Byrd speak on. the “import­ ance of Baraca-Philathea Wprk.” This, was probably the best part ofc the conr vention. Miss Byrd is the Baraca-Phila- theaSecretary for North' Carolina", and she is-therefore weU. informed, in regard, to the; movement in this State. Biit . the best feature of h<^ address was; not infor­ mation but inspiration, for she is thorr OUghIy consecrated to: her.'tfork.' "The National. Baraca hymn was‘used: several, times during the convention; - ;/■ Thelast^session was. held-on Sunday, afternoon, and the convention; was ad­ dressed by Mr. A. B. Saleebyi of Salis­ bury; on the subject, "The ManWith a Banner/’ Mr. Saleeby holds the banner as the greatest class organizer in the United States. His address was splendid.. His deep interest in the work is no doubt the secret of his. success a»i.a. . Bifiraca worker. The last subject on the program. The Need of the Church for Baracas and Philatheas," was ably, discussed: by Mr. Richard Pedwine, of Jerusalem. This was a great convention. .It;was'well at­ tended and much interest- was shown throughout the sessions. Onea direct re- sult pf the convention was tMorganfza tion'pf the Philathea clas&.^tjtjie Baptist, church on Monday morning folfoWing the convention. It would ,be, .gratifying to. Mr. T. I; Caudell and others who are deep- ly interested in this work to see the .Ba­ rajas spread until every Sunday school inthecounty bag a Baraca and a Phila- thea-class truly carrying out their motto: “Young men at work: for young, men, and young women at work for young wo­ men, all standing bp the Bible and the Bible School.” H.

Allegorically speaking, the ed itor is a happy medium between i soupbone and a porter-house steak Nobody ever saw a rich editor, says H. J Bann, in the ' Birming­ ham (A la.) Nevs s, and on the oth­ er hand no one ever encountered an editor who didn’t head every sub scription with a donation of four bits and a stub-pen. The editor is said to belong to the fourth estate because that is the only kind he ever leaves. He is also one of the most cheerful and overworked pre­ varicators now passing as legal tender. He has to be. Whenever a girl with a face lifce a cream puff marries a youth who never earned a dime outside the shooting gallery, the editor has to paint the bride as a radient vision of blushing beauty jind the groom as one of our rising young busi ness men, or else disappoint an ex pee tan t circle of delinquent sub scribers. If the editor fails to spread a two-column obituary over the death of a prominent citizen who never paid a grocery bill out side of the justice court, he is lia­ ble to be waited on by some two- fisted relative of the deceased with an injured air and a punch in ei­ ther hand. It has been libelously reported that the editor’s diet is confined mainly to sight drafts and summer squashes taken on subscription, but he appears to be as resigned to his lot as a man whose wife has gone to the seashore, and the only thing that can cause him to change his occupation is a sheriff’s sale or an untimely death. Few editors go to the case nowadays and set up their editorials in long primer with a three-point lead. Modern ma­ chinery does everything but meet the payroll and pay the hired girl. The editor is the most cultured person in the community. He is the'only man in the village who can tell “ Barries Burned Away” from G rant’s Memoirs” and get a- way with it, and as a result he outranks the principal of the high school as a iiterateur.—Ex.

The sporty girl may be a shrinking violet at heart, but in this world we have to judge by.what we see, and appearances are against her. The flirt may be as virtuous as Caesar’s wife, but people will always shrug their shoulders- when they speak of her. Of course when girls do bold, conspicious things they do so because they think they make themselves attractive to men.

Almofit ^ny ope can talk in to a telephone, and once in awhile peopli can hear through them: Some people think a tele­ phone is deaf, and they always yell their conversation in a tone of voice that sounds like drivinghoge. Other people stick-their faces in­ side the mouth-piece atnd ; slobber while they talk. This doesn’t dam ­ age the telephone to any great ex­ tent unless the talker ia chewing plug cut.

Tne man said: “ Take my brains. It is better to go in­ to Boston without any brains than without money.” He found that ia California, unless he had the money, opportunities were not so great as in Jforth Carolina, and he wisely trekked back home and here ia what he said to the Elnoxville reporter as he was coming into the borders of the State: “Believe me,” said a young Xorth Carolinian as he was about to board a train for Charlotte at the Southern passenger station Monday morning. ‘I ’m going back to No’th Calliny, and I ’m going to stay. No more California and the West for me at least, not when it comes to looking for a job. “I’ve been away nine months and spent most of the tim e looking iorajob. I ended up iu a hospit­ al, where I whiled away a few weeks, with nothing fam iliar but the strains of ‘Dixie’ and ‘Home Sireet Home,’ wafted through my window from a graphophone, and of course they added to my feeling of contentment, I don’t think, with me far, far away from home.

Every year scores of N ojth Carolinians who cannot get rich here as fast as they would like, go to other states in the hope of bet* tering their condition. In nine cases out out of ten, the man would have done better in NorthCarolina than In any other State. Let the' boys who are dissatisfied with con- dii. jus at home, read the interview 0I tIlis yoanS maD who hasretu.n- ed from California and hustle at home as hard as he would hustle in some other State and he will do as well. Bill A rp used to say if the Georgia boys and the Carolina boys who went to Texas would work as hard in their own State and live as economically as they were forc­ ed to when they got to the new State, they would do as well, but he added they were ashamed io wear patched breeches at home and live economically, but that in the new State they would go without any coat and Iiva on corn bread and sorghum ard save their money and that such plain living was the reason th at more ot them got riob in new countries than at home. Does Adveilising Pay.

Editor Yellow Jacket; W hal will take stains out of a blanket? Reader. I t isaltogether according to what kind of stains, but generally if you will get a pair of scissors and cut. th& stains out they will not retorn. We have tried this many times and it ta k es’en* out. E ditor Yellow Jacket:—Can you tell me how. to: stop a runaway horse? a Reader. The best way to stop a runaway horse is to make a large steel cage and as the horse passes up the street place a cage In front of him. Wlien he runs in the. cage close tiis door quickly and then take the cage of a livery stable, shut the doors of the stable and release the horse. That isJh e way to stop ’em, and it has never failed yet. Editor Yellow Jacket: W hat is good for chillblains? A Reader. W ell, that depends on*the ohfll- Vlain, We never knew much that was good for them; in fact it is a hard m atter to tell. Some chill- blaint are like caromels aud some likepepperm int drops. You see What is good for them m ight not be good , for you. • :If we had chillblains we would not undertake.to gratify their fan­ cy. W e’d ju st let ’em take care of themselves. M ight give ’em a bath; also might feed ’em almond cream—but the best thing to do, generally speaking, is to get rid of ’em. You are under no obligation to a chillblain and therefore we would advise you not to. worry a- bout whaii is good for them. Bditbr Yellow Jacket: W ill you ■p l^ e ,t^ ll us the best way to wean ■fcSlfl • ' V I W ell, we have had some- expe­ rience along that line, and it; al­ ways depends on the calf. If you have a calf weaner, place the wire over the calf’s mouth and tie it to a tree and do not let it get to its mother. Ifthafc won't work, take a pound of putty and put In the calf’s mouth and tie a string a- round the nose and hold the calf in. your lap until the putty har­ dens. Cement will do as well if you haven’t any putty handy. You See this effectually shuts the calf’s mouth. A nother good plan is to tie a rope around the calf’s neck and tie the other end to a tree, ty­ ing the mother about two feet be- yeud the length of the rope. The calf will keep trying to get to the OiOther an d in about three days will choke it’s fool sett * to death. Another plan we have tried suc­ cessfully is to cut off tbe calf’s head. A nother good way is to ship the mother out of the state—say about 800 miles—blind- foldi j.j the calf Bo it can’t see which way the old cow went. A K ershe is gone put the calf in a well for two weeks and that will efflctually we&n it. Ten .Reasons Why Men Should Sweir on Every Occasion That Presents Itself. R e v .-Fr.

Good roads and a dbg law are more to be desired than great riches. And now they say Underwood is stalking for Clark. Poor old Var­ ner. The Record don’t propose to eat much crow so long as it can get blackberry pie. Champ Clark or Billy Bryan will lead the Democratic party to defeat in November. Once in a while a dog raiser calls around and has his paper stopped. Are there others? Tennessee went for Taft, while California gave Teddy her. entire vote. George Washington declined a third term; Grant wasdenied a third term, and Teddy demands a third term. The Record is for Morehead for State Chairman, with Taft or Roose­ velt as President, or any other good man the Republican National Con­ vention may name. Are we (Republicans) drifting from the old landmarks, and after strange gods? If so, let’s right a- boiit and steer the ship of state into a calm sea, and into a port of safety.* The people of Davie county are forMorehead. The “steam roller’ crowd are not of the people, nor for the people. "It is one of Mr. Taft’s great gifts of usefulness that he possesses ex­ actly the ability unflinchingly to stand by the right, and get to do it with the minimum of appensiveness toward those who do not see matters as clearly as he does.”—Theodore Roosevelt. Is honesty and “a square deal, ’ (Teddy’s chief slogans), at a disr in Republican primaries and con­ ventions? If so, the party needs a house cleaning, and the quicker (de­ cent and honest) Republicans get to work to bring it about the better for the country and the party* “There is a weapon firmer set, Better than the bayonet: A weapon that comes down as still As snowflakes fall upon the sod, Yet executes the freeman’s will As lightning does the will of God; And from its force nor bolts nor C anl^afS—ffeiis, it is the " Ballet Box.” -No man of better training, no man of more dauntless, .courage, of sounder common sense,: and of high­ er, and finer char&cter, has eve* come to the Presidency than William Howard Taft. "-Theodore Roosevelt. We wonder what the preacher thinks , who-goes into a convention and asks God’s guidance and bless­ ings upon the proceedings (a very proper thing to do), and who then looks on and witnesses the dirty methods employed by the present- day political boss? Do the actions of the people at party conventions impress or convince the conserva­ tive thinking people of this country that we are sufficiently civilized and enlightened to recall by popular vote our judges and judicial decis­ ions? The millenium has not yet arrived, nor have we arrived at that state, where the voice of "the peo­ ple is the'voice of God,*” Fox Town Letter. Mr. Editor:—The people grant about hard times. Let me give you some reasons for the grants Iw asb o rn in 1849, and since I can remember there has been enough time fooled away by white and colored in the town of Moeks- rille, sittingaround the business douses whittling goods boxes, to build a railroad from Mocksville to the town of Elkin and Bpare time enough to clean up the old fields around old Joppa to make a thousand bushels of wheat year­ ly. We should not -grunt about hard times. The farmers buy seed potatoes when they could raise them. Last year I raised a crop of tobacco, and worked 51 days burning plant bed, plowing, hoe ins, cutting, euring, stripping, hauliing to Winston, ete. The to­ bacco weighed 520 pounds, and brought $28.13. I paid for ferti­ lizer, hired help and hauling to m arket $7.55, which left me a bal­ ance of $20 58. For 51 days work I could have made $75, which leaves me short $46.42. This is what makes hard times. My to- baceo money would not pay the board bill and t he baby got. no Uress. Times will get no bsttt r while the farmer has. to give away his proceeds. If Mr. Roosevelt is defeated and blackberries fail, we are shure gone, and that's no joke. R eadeb. We all have “our passions and prejudices, we should not have— passions and 'prejudices,” but how to get rid of them the wise creator failed to make known. Iftherehad been at that time, an oracle, no doubt an all-wise creator would hiave consulted it, and we m ight be with­ out these unfortunate ‘ appenda­ ges.” Unfortunately we also have our appetites for meat and drink. These we can control, if we will on Iy wisely exercise a little bit of our brain power.* Does contending for what one conceives to be the right, constitute one a disturber? If so, the more disturbers we have the better for our country and the people. The great majority of people will sit still when they know wrong and in­ justice is being done—tamely ac­ quiescing by their silence, in the tricks of the dirty politicians, they thus become ^“ particeps criminis” ) a party to the crime, and. as guilty as the principal, Thelaw saysl an accessor^before or after the act, is as guilty as the one who actually commits the wrong or crime.* wilderness was crushed to earth while boosting this forgotten Dun­ can. Many things were said and done at the convention that should have been left unsaid. ' Some politi­ cal thunder has been turned over to the Democrats, who. will use it seven days in the week- from now until November. That convention -re ­ minded us just a little of the.Demo­ cratic convention at Charlotte four years ago. A big bunch of the - at­ tendants at that convention ,had5, to eat crow, among them being Editor Varner, of the Lexington Dispatch, who was chief mourner. Some of of our Republican friends will ■ have to partake of that appetizing crow, or we are badly mistaken, • But - we hope for the best, and trust that the boys will not got choked.. The • next State convention will doubtless be held in Charlotte some time in Au­ gust, at which time all the S tate‘of­ ficers, and a State Chairman are .to be nominated and elected. Things will doubtless cool down by that time. Here’s to the winner—may he swat the enemy heavy. v The People to Name Senators. W ashington, D. Cm May 13.—^ The House to day adopted by a vote of 237 to 39 the joint resolu­ tion providing for an amendment to the Constitution to perm it the: election ot U nited States Senators by direct vote of the people. -It already had passed the Senate, and now goes to the States and ratifi­ cation. Republican State Convention. The Republican State Convention met in Raleigh last Wednesday at 12 o’clock. The editor, , along with about one thousand other Radicals from every county in North Caro­ lina, were present, and took in the love feast, which was enjoyed to the utmost by all present save a. very few who couldn’t appreciate a good thing when it was thrown at them. We felt rather lonesome for awhile, but finally located a few- other mourn­ ers and afterwards held a consolation meeting. It could have been, even worse. The Roosevelt boys were in complete control of the'wliole shoot­ ing gallery, and'asserted their rights, just as Teddy: wcfuld have done, had he been; present. K ie convention was called to order by -Hon. J. M. Morehead, State Chajrmiui. Seeing that the Lion Hunter had everything going his way. Mr. Morehead call­ ed Zeb V. Walser, of Lexington to =the chair, and our friend Zeb held full sway, at times he had to use the “ big stick” to hold things down, but he didn’t mind that at all. Some of the Teddyites became very noisy, but no fights occurred, for which we are all thankful. Music was one of the leading articles bn the program, and when the “big stick” wouldn’t silence the over-strenuous fellows, the band would drown them -out, Quite a number ofthe boys got up and made hair raising speeches, a- mong them being one Taft man, whom the Teddyites howled down. That convention was no place for a Taft man, anyhow, but those present held hard to their seats even if they were afraid to open their mouths; The steam roller was carried from Davie to Raleigh, and Tom Settle and Walter Henry got theirs. . Out of the 24 votes to be cast at Chicago on June 18th, Teddy gets 23 and our friend Billy Taft gets the other one. Strange that they didn't take that ontiTaitiiik ’#fth • the rest of them C$rl Dgncan^whose nam§ some of of our readers have heard of in the dim past, was succeeded by Rich­ mond Pearson, of Buncombe county, a Teddy shoute^as National;:: Com-: mitteeman.

What Has Become of The : Roads Association? Brother Ketchie in his article of some weeks since asked a very pertinent ques tion. The plain progressive people: of Oayie county are wanting to know. Jhere are hundreds of .good , citizens that are. getting tired of forever lagging behind our sister counties, in adopting progres­ sive ideas. Not a county that touches Davie, except Yadkin, but what is forging to the front in rapid 'strides. Rowan, oit the South, has built hundreds of macad­ am and sand clay-roads, and. keeps; In her employ a skilled engineer to. Iticate and direct in road-making. She touches' Davie county at one point, South : Fiver, w(kh a good road and is rapidly approach­ ing at another point, Cooleemee. Iredell, on the West, has voted a . bond issue of $400,000 for good roads and is building a road to connect with Davie county at County Line. Davidson, on the East1-Js grandly in earnest and is building » roadj to connect with us at Fulton^; Forsyth county, on the North-East,: is thoroughly alive to good roads, and. has in - her I em­ ploy one of the ablest road engineers : in the. United States, paying him. $300 per. month for his services; This' county is' building a road to conneet With Daviie at Hall’s Ferry. Thus it is—our neighbors all; about us, hold out their- hands to .• us in mute appeal that we shall join them in the march for better things. And yet we maintain a noted indifference. While our neighbors have spent hundreds. of thousands of dollars of public money, in building modem roads. Davie county has spent not one red cent.' We do not even have a law that will allow us to issue one dollar in bonds for roads. How long, oh how long will the people of Dayie . thus remain in a state of lethargy in regard to this important matter. Naturally, we have one of the best counties, in the Union. We have a fine population, too. No purer Anglo-Saxon blood anywhere; and this of the German and. Scotch-Irish variety. Our greatest fault has been that we have been too conservative in the use of public money. We have been Vpentiy wise and pound foolish.’’ “Let jUS turn over a new leaf.’’ Let-us getL.4nto . the procession and join handQ.with our neigh­ bors. There is considerable sentiment in favor of good rpads in this-county, and it is rapidly growing. It needs to be con­ served by effective organization, r It -is higfi tikiie this tfis: being t dose. -“After some consultation among the"friends of good roads it has'beeir agreed that we cali a^flieeting atttlsB court iitouse dn the first. Monday in June, at 11 o’clock, to ef­ fect a county organization, wfth a -Mew: to secure proper legislation, andveffect other desirable ends.

A decrease in number of red blood corpuscles and a person “ looks pa.e "—in- feet, is anaemic* the blood does not get the right food and probably the stomach is disordered' Dr. R0 V.

This medicine he called Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery. By assimi* lating the food eaten the system is nourished and the bloodtakes on a rich.red color. Nervousness is only “ the oryof the starved nerves for food," and when the nerves are fed on rich red blood the person looses those irritable feel* ings, sleeps well at night, and is refreshed in the morning.

It is more fun to see a man read a puff on himself in a newspaper than to see a fat man slip on a banana peel. The narrow minded man reads it over seven or eight times, and then goes around to ap­ propriate what copies he can. The kind hearted man goes around to the office and pays what he owes. The successful business man who advertises regularly and makes money by it, j immediately starts o st to find thej editor and the two immediately starts out to find the editor arid the two walk silently down the street, and the business man takes sugar in his and they both eat a clove or two and life is SweeteV and peace settles down on their hearts for a moment.

ExpensesThe Farmer, His Fixed and Salary. The farmer is a manufacturer of raw material. In all manufacturing enterprises there are certain fixed expenses that cannot be reduced or elimated. In the manufacture of raw material on the farm the fixed expenses that cannot be eliminated are the preparation of the soil for planting, and the wages of the farm­ er who does the work depends upon the fertility of the acres he cultivates. Chefarmerwho has built his soil deep enough to prcduce 75 bushels of corn per acre gets more than three times as much wages, or salary for his wosk in producing the crop is the one who gets only 25 bushels per acre, for where fixed expensns remain the net profit (or wages) in crease in a greater proportion than the yield increases. When |we learn how to build soil on fewer rieres in­ stead of being influenced fcjv greed I ft morejaeres, we will begjin to in­ crease #ui wages on the farm .—J Z. Green in Marshville Honie.

It seems to be characteristic of some people to judge country life jt6 worst features, and city life by its best. Tho truth is th at the v e r y poor family in the country lives a very great deal better than the very poor family in the city, ^ny man who has seen something of the conditions surrounding the tenement duellers and the poorer factory workers knows this to be a fact. The city has its big bankers and big manufacturers, but so has the country its big plantation own­ e r s and ranchmen. The poor we Iuive always with us, both in town a n d country, but rural suffering never reaches so acute a point as urban suffering. It is our conviction, therefore, that the magazines have seriously over drawn their pictures of “ the tragedy of the farm er’s wife.” Oer tainly the writer does not recognize these haggard, despairing, and mistreated women as typical of the farmers’ wives he has known, who were of his kindred, and among whom he was reared. These farm women whom he knew, and loved and honored, these folk of whom Stevenson wrote: ‘‘In the highlands, in the country places, Where the old plain men have rosy faces, And the young fair maidens quiet eyes”— they indeed, like thB virtuous wo­ man praised by K ing Lemuel, ate not the bread of idleness and work­ ed with their hands, but like her they worked “ willingly,” and they were, to our mind, far finer types of women and far happier in their love-inspired toil, hard as it was, than the idle society woman'of the city who wastes her life in a round of meaningless card parties and so cial frivolities, petty jealousies, aad in that extravagent dressing against which her unpaid mer chants’ bills and dressm akers’ bills often cry out with Banquo like in­ sistence. Away down in their hearts there is n o t' ODe of these fashionable parasites but feels the emptiness of it all, not one but has a vagne and gnawing consciousness that life was given for some higher parposc-tbat it was meant-to count for something, as theirs do not. Hence, the “ unrest” of which one hears so much, the ennui which vents itsel/ in unwholesome out­ breaks and runs distractedly after strange new gods, “ the nervous distress which has become univer­ sal,” as an eminent medical au- thority was quoted as saying in The Progressive Farm er a week or two ago, and which he declared threatens the physical Btamina and even the permanence of our race. The country woman has her hardships—more of them than she ought to have, as we shall point out later—but it should not be for­ gotten that the normal and whole­ some aspirations of a woman’s heart are more atune with the ideals of the country than with those ot our fashion-mad cities. If the country woman works hard, it is for those she loves. H er heart makes music that strengthens her hands. No '•nearing boss watches her all day, standing beside some counter or sodie factory machine while wears her life out at tasks done du­ ty for The money th at they ihe clothes she sews on are to lie worn by her own rosy cheeked boys and girls, not sold for bo much silver to men and women who will not even know 'of her existence Knowing that the food she cookB Yill, nourish the bodies of those wh^ love her, makes it an entirely different operation from th at it would be if love for those it served did not lighten the drudgery.

MAY 29, 1912.NUMBER Al service she has spent herself, in stead of the indifference with which the business world treats all ma­ chines, human and mechanical, when their efficiency fails. Such compensations in the life of the farm er’s wife are ro t to be lightly considered. Nevertheless, while-protesting as we do against the pathetic cariea, tures of the country woman, we do wish to urge as strongly as we know that the average farmer does not yet provide as many of the con­ veniences and as many labor saving tools for his wife as he uses in his own farm work. ; Tbis is a reform we m ust now bring about. If the farin woman for her p art measures up to the high ideals of industry aud faith­ fulness set forth by K ing Lemuel, she is also entitled to the reward which th at ancient sage ascribes to her: “ H er children rise up and call her blessed: her husband also, and he praiseth h e r. Give her of the fruit of her hands.” Certainly, the husband’s praise must be hollow indeed, a mere mockery, if he fails to find expres­ sion in furnishing the comforts that will lighten her tasks and her heart. “ Give her of the fruits of her bands.” She has earned joint­ ly w ith her husband the property th at the family owns; she is en­ titled to part of it to buy such helps as she naeds. T hat these conveniences are not already provided on a great num­ ber of farms, is partly due, we be­ lieve to the fact th at these labor- saving appliences for the women on the farm have not been so well advertised and exploited as the la­ bor-saving im plem entsand machin­ ery used by men on the farm . This is OBe reason why every State should have institutes for farm women as well as farmers’ institutes —institutes in which not only do speakers/'ivotnen and men, give in-' struction in the scientific principles and practical problems involved in housekeeping, cooking, or sanita­ tion, but where the most improved modern conveniences are exhibited and explained. Meanwhile, however, the women of the farms should themselves be gin agitating for the improved ap­ pliances they need, and urge their importance upon the men of their households. In every case, of course, strength considered, there should be an equal dis­ tribution between husband and wife of the burdens that each onght to bear, and also an equal distribution o f t h e Comforts, they are able to purchase. Ih short the housekeeper’s work as well as the farm er’s can be made easier and more effective, and it is the duty of the farmer aDd his wife to work together in bringing this a- bout, and thus to relieve country life much unnecessary hardship. Will He R o b? Greensboro Record. -- Bryan has been actiag in such a .way for the past month to give rise to the belief that he is seeking the nomination for President. Certain­ ly in all his years in public life he has never been guilty of anything savoring of sharp.practice or dou­ ble dealing. This year he has said things and done things that have Jfeinej^ his friends and his actions are hard to explain. The Bichmond Times-Dispatch has this to say about him: Is W illiam Jennings Bryan a candidate for the Pem oeratic presi­ dential nomination? Is he seeking another second consecutive defeat fit the hands of th e American peo­ ple? Is he devising a way at once dignified and effective to knock Wilson, Clark, Harmon and, TJn derwood into a cocked hat and wrest the standard from them for himself? Tl ill he at the Baltimore I convention slug the present caodi- dates over the ropes and bring the bacon back to the Fairview, Nebraska, for the iourth time? /O ut in Ohio this week, Harmon is telling the people that the reason of.Bryan's aggressive antagonism to him is that the Nebraskan wish- es-Jio capture the nomination him ­ self and that, he is - playing safe w ith W ilson and Clark to that end aqd at the same time is trying to force out UnderWood and Harmon. W hat assurance is’there th a t/Bry- an-.will pot perm it his name-to go before the Baltimore convention? W ho can affirm that Bryan is in reality campaigning for some other person than .-.WiHiam Jennings Bryan? ■ - IBryan has said that he would not be a candidate. Booseveltsaid the same thing, and Baid it when P residentofthe U nited States, a temptation which Bryan has never been in; Today Boosevelt is the most active, aggressive and vicious aspirant for the. presidency that the nation ever knew. W ho can say th at six Weeks from today Bry ■ an'w ill not be running down the Democratic nomination as relent-. Iegsly as Booseveit i9 chasing’ the Bepubliimn nomination? W hat does the Bryan campaign againet Harmon mean except that Brjran aspires to be the candidate? W hatdoes the. Bryan campaign against Underwood mean except that Bryan hopes to be the candi­ date?. W hat other Construction can reasonably be placed iupon Bryan’s clever efforts to play Clark against Wilsoh and Wilson against Clark? W hat secret reason is there for Bryan’s long and bitter war on Harmon? W hat has Harmon done I f he is unfit to be the Democratic nominee, in Bryan’s opinion, why does not Bryan state his reasons for that opinion? The Nebraskan still enjoys a great degree of the confidence o f the Democrats of the country, but he shoots far wide of the m ark, if he thinks his: “ oh, just because” will prevent the U om inationofH arm on. The un­ forgivable sin of Underwoodis that he dared to differ with Bryan on a national question, although the Democrats of the Congress dgreed with Underwood’s position, T hepresent d rifto f the Demo­ cratic current is not toward the shore of success. Olark leads the race, and yet his nomination by the Democrats in this hour of their supreme opportunity t o regain dominance would be suicidal. Even Bryan would be a better candidate than Clark, but wisdom bars both. Bryan has three times appealed to the judgm ent of the people and three times has been defeated by them; Champ jplark has been laughed at all over the country. The Democratic party will have nobody but itself to blame if it flies In the face of the recorded verdicts of the country and gets defeated. Seems that his hat is in the ring but it may be kicked out. H e can hardly secure the nomination if he makes the attem pt, but should he land, who believes be could; be elected? H e has run until his can­ didacy is a joke. Suppose Boose velt should be the choice of the Bepublican party, could Bryan de­ feat him? H ardly. Mr. M r. BryaniperSisfs in charging M r, Underwoml ^ with /being the candidate of W ali Street for Presi­ dent, and suggests that “ those who are urging Underwood as a South­ ern man ought to. know th at it will hurt the South to have its candi­ date defeated as he will be if he is W all Street m an.” “ W hy flot ask W all Street?” says Mr. Bryan. W hy rifa, rather, ask M r.U n d er- Woodti? H e has. said: that he is not and nobodv believes that, he is, th at is to say, nobody who would give M r, Underwood a square deal. “There are many available can, didates in the South,” says Si JBryan, “ Hoke Smith, OlIie James ,and Senator Culberson, for instance |W ijy not one of these!” W hy not ffoy one of a thousand other equal­ ly good men in the South!

Mr. Editor:—On the morninglrf tbe 14th. as guests of Mr. and Mrs. Stau Jones, said to be the possess­ or of eight thousand head ot cattle and as such bears the distinguish­ ed title of cattle king of this east coast country; Mr. and Mrs. Hack ett and little girl and myself went aboard the beautiful launch the “ Kitty Wilson,” one of /.he club house boats, with Jim Hickman, of Philadeldhia, as captain, for a day’s outing and picnicing,- We left the club house dock just as the 6un was rais’ng its majestic head out of old mother ocean’s lap, as it looked, and away we glided down the river at a fifteen mile an hour clip. TbeJtwo hours run to the mouth of the Indian and St. Lueie river, with the magnificent scenery of villages, lovely countiy homes, pineapple farms, orange groves and truck !arms, was a pic- tnre I’m not abla to describe. Then up the St. Lucie river fifteen miles more, where the little “ K. W.” stuck her nose in the sand and as much as said, “ I’m tired, and it’s dinner time.” But Mr. Editor, we folks didn’t eall it din­ ner, just lunch. M j! my!

If that’s just lunch hope it will all be just lunch, and if these long, lank mosquitoes will just be half merciful with me, see it I don’t come home fat, Won say a word about that ice box, or my old friends T.

The Mocksville Graded School. Editor Record:—No man in Mocksyille feels a greater pride In our graded school, than does the Writen For years I advo­ cated it, and together ,with a few others, we got up a petition for its establish­ ment, and finally ah act-was passed .by the General Assembly giving us the priv­ ilege of voting a tax and $5,000 in bonds, and after many trials and tribulations we got it. There was, some opposition, (and always is) to.ahjr project looking to the increase of taxes, regardless of the importance, or the material advancement of the best interests of the general pub­ lic. Long ago no doubt those: who o p ­ posed it, have seen and realized the -er­ rors of their ways, have at last got their eyes oponed, and are just ,as proud as we who pioneered it, and take as much pride in-its welfare as the most ardbnt advocate of its establishment. The year 191? witnessed the 4th year of its incep­ tion, and the second graduation class. In 1911, two young ladies and two young men graduated: Misses Laura Clement, Velma Martin, Milton - Cali and Jacob Stewart, Jr. In 1912, there were nine in the graduating class: Misses Rose Owen, Annie Allison, Bonnie Brown, Martha Clement, Rebecca Rollins, Carolyn Miller, Frances Morris, Abrabam Nail and Lon- tiie Call. In 1909-10, Prof. R- D. Jenkins was Superintendent, and for the past two years Ptof. H. F,: ;Pardue. In the first four years thirteen young ladies'and men have been prepared for cofiege. and Jet us all hope that in the years to come, at each commencement, larger, classes wifi graduate, and start out to college prepar­ ing themselves/or a Iifework of honor ind usefulness:} Thecoinmencemehtthis year was ah event long to be remember­ ed by many of us, not only' the general public, but especially the parents and friends of the graduating class, whose pride in the school, and' whose love , for, and interest in the future success and welfare of their children and their neigh­ bors children, makes-us- ali akin. Space is too limited for us to give a fuller ac­ count, so we shall only touch upon the most important matters pertaining to our school. In 1911, Mr. Jidin Green, a mer chant, and one of the most public spirited men of the town, and a trustee of the school, offered a $5 gold coin to the best declaimer. After listening tothe speech­ es of the five young men: Jacob Stewart, Jr., Milton Call, James Burrus, Abraham Nail and Kimbrough Sheek, all of whom acquitted themselves with great credit, dr. Jacob Stewart was declared the win­ ner and,carried off the prize. For the year 1912, Mr..W. K. Clement, an ardent friend of theschool, and.one of the most public spirited gentlemen of the town, offered a gold medal to the student Who ,howed the highest average in studies, deportment and attendance. , This con test was'open to each and every, student of the school. The committoe who had to pass upon this contest, had to exam­ ine the grades of all the students, a big task, and- when complete® it was foiind' (hat MissjRose Was the fortunate} studenif tfwhwtf fhe Iovfcted honor was; avferded. Mr. Al T. Grant. Jr.. delivered the medal, and In his presentation re­ marks said that while Miss Owen- had won, Misi Frances Morris had lost out by a very smail fraction, because of her ab­ sence 'duringthfiterm.'-^ find that Mr. Grant was mistaken-in tbis,.for the grade card given her by Prof. Pardue, shows and that her mark on deportment was 100 for the whole term. “A” is the high­ est mark given on studies, and for the term she did not fall below “A, and her average for the school year 1912 was 94 1-10. So the actual facts in the case are, that Miss Owen won on a higher average in her studies, and my only ex­ cuse for mentioning these facts are (that I am absolutely and unequivocally in fa­ vor of a “square deal,” yi thing which, a certain gentleman and many of Jbis sup­ porters are absolute strangers to.) that she (Miss Rose) shall have proper , credit for her success, and while I feel and have a father's pride in an only daughter, and would have been glad had she won this medal, yet I would not have . any -one think or believe that I would desire it, of any other honor to come to her, save through absolute merit. I love' her,- 'and-' the record she made is amply sufficient to justify a father's pride. For that matter, every father and mother of the. graduat­ ing class of 1912 have every reason to be proud of the records made.. The; only reason I don’t give all the averages for all the class, is want of information; Be?; fore closing, I desire to make a . few re­ marks on the speeches, essays and the class prophecy-of those chosen by the class, (for with such "a large class if would have taken up too much time- for all to have spoken and read their essays) Miss Annie Allison’s essay on the Women of the Revolution was good, and much enjoyed"by the large audience. MrtlLon- nie Call was chosen by. the class to, de­ liver the farewell address, and his deliv­ ery showed thought and preparation, but especially fine was the ''CIbss Prophecy,” read by Miss Rose Owen, ' Her. hits were pointed and amusing, and had-, she, left off the names, those acquainted with the boys and: girls of the class "could have- spotted almost every one. It was a de­ cided success, and every one who had the good fortune to be present enjoyed it, as well as ail the exercises of the school. (I would suggest that the local papers _pro- cure the speeches, class prophecy and es­ says jyf the entire class; and publish one each week). I dare say all of them will bear reading, and will show to the pub­ lic what is being dons by our graded school to prepare the girls and boys - of the town for their life work. I must not conclude without a reference to the able and very instructive address delivered by Prof. Collier Cobb, of the State Univer­ sity,. It was like an'egg—full of. meat—. and I hope it was like seed sown on fer­ tile ground, toevery boy and girl present —and will in the future years bear fruit of an hundredfold. It was just such a speech as we need all over the.State.and we hope Prof. Cobb will give 'it to the public through the press. Begging par­ don for. the length of this article, I. plead guilty for my offense upon the groends of a great interest fit the school and Jn the cause of public education, hpping that the day is near at hand, wheti ignorance shalfheve raisedjits pall;frojd over our State, and when every boy and girl in the Old North State shall be classed by the census enumerators as literate and able' tp Wiad and write English,: and- may; no more X; marks be seen on our records-, with.North Caroiina at the head of the column in education, thrift and a daw abiding citizenship, -; Respectfully, I V. V E. H. MORRIS, ‘Mocksville, N. C., May 24,1912,' - Ohio Fight Goes to Convention . -FiooiV Columbus, O., May 22.-—According to returns in hand tonight from ,ap­ proximately 4,500 of the 5,192 pre­ cincts in the State,;' Gol.- Theodore Roosevelt’s delegates to the nation) al Republican convention carried yesterday’s Ohio primaries by plurality of about 25,000 votes.; It now seems scarcely possible that final results from the primary poll will change the number of district delegates' for either side by more than one or two. The best figures available tonight show that Roose­ velt has 32 of the 42' district dele­ gates selected yesterday' and that President Taft has 10., Although later returns on the De moeratic presidential preference pri­ mary vote give Woodrow Wilson a fighting chance for one or two iabre delegates, the New Jersey man’s exact standing will not be known for several day, when certain belat­ ed rural returns have been secured from dilatorv judges, who refused to complete the counts in their pre­ cincts before thking a night's sleep However, Governor Harmoir practi­ cally is assjirld a complete delegati­ on of 48 delegates to the Baitimore convention. : His lead how gives him control of the State.

Tbe city fathers met in special session; Wednesday evening and transacted the following business: Thb law regulating bicycle rid­ ing bn tbs sidewalks of the town was repealed,-and a new law giv­ ing riders the privilege of the side- walk?, requiring them to'dismount when passing ladies or children and riding not more than tour miles per hour when passing, any male person, street corner, or store and requiring that each bicycle shall be equipped with a bell or horn, and a lantern, if used ' be tween dark and . daylight. The new law was submitted to the Board by the bicycle riders of this city, and is very satisfactory‘ to them. The Record wishes to *hank the gentlemen of the Board, in be­ half of the “peddlers” of the town for giving them a square deal. The Board gave E. L. Gaither permission to lay a pipe line from R. : B. Sanfuid’s residence, o n church street, to B. L. Gaither’s residence on North Main s’reet, crossing under tbe two streets Dear the Methodist church. -The Board decided to give $500 on the sand-clay road that is to be buiit from Jerusalem to this city. Thia is one of the best things ' that the Board ha ve done since we have been a citizen of the town, and .we believe every voter in Ithe town will be pleased with their action- in this matter. # ’ SWAT THE FLY.I Davie County Good Roads Meeting. A meeting was held in the-court house Friday afternoon, May 24th, at 2 p. jiii. Chairman T. Jl Byerly presiding.' The ob­ ject,and purpose ofthe meeting was. to raise $2,500 to. build a sand-clay road from Ephesusto Mocksville, connecting at the first named place with the road lead­ing from the Craig road tojCooleemee. For a short notice, quite- a ? good y number were, present, and. in a few minutes $2950 was subscribed, and before night if'had grown to over $2,200,- and thereisno ques­ tion: but whatthe entire amount will be raised.-. Mr. W. R. Craig ' has offered - to put tip dollar for dollar raised by our peo­ ple, !which insures the. Completion of a good road from Mocksville to Salisbury, and when the bridge across South Yad­ kin fiver is completed this fall, Davie will highway from New York via Winston-Fa- Iem to Atlanta. The completion of .this road tp Mocksville means its extension through' the country to the Forsyth coun­ ty-line—thus Davie will have a fine road leading entirely across the county, and this, Mr.-Editor, is but the continuing of good roads, in Davie county, for it will give ,us an object lesson Worth more than'’ all the speeches that could be made, and it will result ih adding impetus to the good roads cause which has lain so long dormant in our people, and it means still more—it serves notice on all Who hdvein the past attempted to block every move' in the direction of Davie’s material growth and progress—to move on, or get out of the road. It means better roads for Da- vje with all that that implies, together with other good things, Which ' the good people of this county need and so richly deserve. Every man In the county should put his shoulder to the wheel and take off his hat to that prince of good fellowslMr. ;W, R. Craig, of Jerusalem. I know: he is a.modest man, eut the public upirit he has ShoWn and aroused in our county, should not be overlooked. Good schools and more education for ohr entire citizen­ ship, better roads, better homes, better fanning and better living. Let’s resolve from now on not only to talk good roads, but to build good roads. Penwwutlly , Mr Editor, there is some sentiment back of my enthusiasm for this road. M«mnrt«q of my childhood and early school days, cluster around old. Jerusalem;, where I at­tended school, Went to the postoffice and the. country store. Round aboutaremany of the men and women with whom I at­ tended school Some few ofthe old ones remain, a»d in mature life I love to Icok ..back and think of those happy days. And then hard by this proposed road is the old chmchl (Liberty), where I and Oie rest Of the] family attended church; the old bury­ ing jground.where sleeps the mothefifath- er, the grandfather, the grandmother and othpr relatives, and.a IHtle further lown theiroad is theHolton'homestead.where the remains pf my oldest sister sleeps Sweet memories, sad thoughts, but WJ must thinkof the living anfithe futurl while we charish these dear memories of the dead, and our early childhood.

'"We left town about 8 o’clock and made our-first stop at Center,.wherewe spent a short time with our friend A. A. Dwig gens; who remembered us with a life preserver. Mr. Dwiggens runs a first class country store, and is weii supplied ' with this world’s gopds. The farmerswere all busy in the fields, making up for lost time. Wheat is not looking bo sell in the*Center section. Some corn and cotton is up and looking wejl, and has. been worked over, Frpm Center we traveled. by the Qodhey bridge to County Line, and if there is a rougher, more hilly section in this county, we don’t want to travel it. With the exception of the bottom land, there is but little farming., done along this road. The land looks mighty poor. About I l o’clock we found our friend John L. Foster in his cotton field, and spent a short time with him. He has a good farm, and has made a success in life. He has’about 25 acres of good wheat. MrSFoster invited us to break bread with biiny but like fools, we declined, and have-been sorry ever since. At 11:30 we arrived at LOwery’ff store^where the County Line postoffice used to be located Mjiji Lowery hat been in the mer­ cantile business since about 1886, and has always treated his custom­ ers right; We spent a short time in pleasant conversation with Mr. and Mrs. Lowery, who also invited us to Btay and sup with them. But again we declined, to our regret later on.- At high noon we arrived at what is known as '‘Old County Two;!stores are located here, R. A. Stroud & Co., and Grater Bros. =Mr. Stroud has a new storo aLd new goods, and . is preparing to give the farmers Of that section some big bargains Sat­ urday in an auction sale-of various, merchandise. Right here is where John K. partook of too much pork and beans and hard cider. But on this point we must remain silent as the grave. Another life pre­ server was received, and! we drove on.! There are .some good farms lying in that section of the county. Our next stop was at Stroud’s flour mill. This mill is turning out some mighty.good flour, and runs practically full time. Mr. June J.. Griffith is the clever and efficient milipr. Leaving the mill, we came to Bfr A. M. Stroud's, where we found him busy in his blacksmith, shop. He hasjust built a good, substantial, two-story house near the Old home place, and moved in­ to it. He does smith work and al­ so raises good crops. We spent a short while pleasantly with him, andwas sorry we couldn’t stop longer. He is an uncle of the edi- .tor. Our next stop was brief- only long enough to receive anoth­ er life preserver. Arriving at Kap­ pa, jwe met with our old friend, J. J. Sjbarrette, the undertaker, -who always has a preserver for us. Mr. Starrettehasbeen in the- under­ taking business for many years, and !keeps at all times a full line of caskets, robes and supplies. He carries the largest and most com­ plete line in the county, and gets much business from the surround­ ing jiountieB, Here isalso located the W.

There will be an enormouB fruit crop, should no: tornadoes, cyclones, etc., visit oar good county. We arrived home about 6 o’clock, after a day well spent, and much enjoyed.

One gireat sfecret of youth and beauty for the young woman or the mother is the proper understanding of her womanly system and well-being. Every woman, young or old, should know herself and her physicat-make up. A good way to arrive at this knowledge is to get a good doctor book, such for instance, as “ The People’s Common; Sense Medioal Adviser,” by Rv V . Pierce, M . C ., which can readily be'procured by sending thirty-one cents! for cloth-bound copy, addressing D r. Pierce, at Buffalo, N . Y. ...• The womanly system is a delicate machine which can only be compared to the in- tricate jnechanism of a beautiful watch which 'will keep in good ,running order only with good care and the proper oiling at the right time, so that the delicate mech­ anism may not be worn oaf. Very many times young women g(-t old or run down before their time through ignorance and the improper handling of this human mechanism. Mental depression, a. confused head, backRche, headache, or hot Bashes and many symptoms of derangement of the womanly system can be avoided by a proper understanding of what to do, in those trying times that come to all women. Mbs. G. Hl Williams, of Lynnhaven, Va., wrote: “It is Gix years since my health save way. I had female trouble and all the doctors (I employed three) Said I would die. I was not able to do my work, had to hue someone all the time. Finalis-, I read in the papers about Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription, and decided to try. it.. I had not taken but cine bottle until I found it bad done me good. I took, in OIL five bottles of ‘Favorite Prescription' and two of ‘Golden Medical Discovery,’ end now I am able to do all my housework, and have gained fourteen pounds. I advise all women who suffer from female trouble to try your Favorite Prescription.’ It’5 the only medicine on earth."

C, Oh! You Girls. A critical young lady was re­ cently heard expatiating vigorous­ ly against the silly way that women have of kissing each other every time they get together. She said: 'iIf twenty women were to meet in the street every last one of them would have to kiss the other nine­ teen, and there would be—let me see—380 kisses worse than thrown away, for probably in ten minutes the whole party would separate in­ to squads and go off talking about each other. When you see one of the6e violent miscellaneous, kiss- e very-thing in sight kind of a wo man, it is safe to set her down as a fraud, which she generally is. If I had my way, kissing should be confined to family uses and for medicinel purposes. Now, don’t you put my name to this or I will kiss jou right on—street the first chance I have ”—Es.

The bill will soon be taken up by the House and the likelihood is that it will be passed. It also provides for the coinage of half cents. The measure has strong endorse­ ment of Secretary of the Treasury MacYeagh and of DirectorEober s and the latter declared that there is an urgent demand for both of these coius. If the bill passes the complexion of the I cent piece will be changed Instead of being copper-colored, both the I and the I 2 eent will resemble a nickel in color and they will consist of 75 per cent, copper and 25 per cent, of nickel.
