Its candidates must believe in and be faithful, if elected to office to those nrineiples.

Sand and Ciay for Roads. LexingtonDispatch. After a road .has been thrown up to the desired grade and drain? age provided for the surface, which mnst resist wear, it still calls' for attention. - : Sand will not pack by itself and work loose in every dry spell. Olay is good as a rule in dry weather* except for the cracks and rots* caused by the previous wet perio'd-, when it was slippery and; almost impassable. The roughness can be largely obiviated by the use of the road scraper as soon as the . road is half dry and the. center will be ke.pt np so it draiuB better; but ray, by itself, is a slippery mate­ rial, even after showei3, for both hones and autos. \ ■ A combination of sand and clay gives a good wearing, inateria!, which will stand as much wear and be in as good condition as any .dirt road material, and often these two a r e found close together,; though distinct, either in pockets or different soil strafe. Indeed, on. some reads the sandls inerelysur­ face drift, and grading will bring up a sufficient quantity- of clay. It is necessary to thoroughly mix these materials when brought to gether, as’they have a;»i% ti^ ten­ dency to? stratify, whieh, bdfrev<S£, is ove'reome by w bteM traffic and the use of the road Scraperi Goawe sand is best and in a- proper pro­ portion, every sand particle will tovfph ite neighbor, yet be filled a- round "with clay. • "tfhe proportions are more easily seen by welting the materia^ Shftj squeezing it in the hand, or we may do as with concrete, fill a vessel with the sand'then pour in water, a,nd the amount of water will re present the amount of clay needed to fill the spaces. Where a road traverses deep, sand a clay bed should be first laid down six to eight inches at the center and three to four inches at the sides. Sand the top and mix thoroughlyjjy plowing or prefer­ ably with the disk it the plow is used. Harrow thoroughly with long toothed harrow, and the adr mixture of sand brought up will increase thickness of foundation by a couple or more inches. It is better to wet the foundation and if this cannot be.doue, rolling or running a wagon over it will compact it, unless both materials are very dry, Bnnning wagons over it haB some disadvantages, which, however, are more apparent than real, and which disappear if the harrow and scraper be kept at wdik and the wagons travel the center. In this case, the roadbed will be subject to stress in those parts which must afterward bear the greatest weight, weak places will be detected andi.can be reinforced, Thesnrfaceofthe road can be well sanded, as’it is.rather an ex­ cess of clay than ol sand which is to be avoided on the wearing sur­ face. W here olay istobe sanded in­ stead of sand’clayed, .first plow the road and pulverize, when about eight inches of sand should be ad­ ded and -the road thoroughly work­ ed. It will sometimes pay to haut sand in winter or other slatek. seas­ on and apply when the roads are wet from the heaps distributed at intervals, but' in this casethe road will be more .,lumpy than where evener distribution has been made. Did you ever pass a graveyard at night when you felt like you wjuld be glad when you were by it? i People claim that they are not afraid Of ghosts, Cthat they don’t believe in haunts and 'ghosts, but Vhen it comesto-.the ‘show down,’ nearly everybody is possessed of just a little of that old New Eng­ land witchcraft idea. Maybe you don't like to begin a piece of work on Friday, or ' when you forget something and turn around to start back you will, make a mark and spit at it. Perhaps you feel uneasy when a rabbit crosses the road in front of you, or your liver seems out of order when you happen to be the thirteenth number of a. par­ ty. A>11 these things are * merely revivals of the old NewEngtand witphcraft, and /intelligent folks should no'longer pay'ahy attention to them, but'its the liardest mat­ ter Inr the world- ^o g(^„rid of > such ideas. We halfway, believe in them becausefre have jbeard ^-m (lch a bbutwich things.' Aiad'we believe in ghosts because we have heard so many ghost stories.. Bnt why Shouldn’t we reason about this matter just a little! When a man dies and goes to heaven, doesn’t it stand to reason t hat ne’s not likely to have any desire to return to this old worid of trials, tribulations and troubles!. And when one goes in in the opposite direction, he can’t come back. ' Soj Whatfs the use to trouble about haunts and ghosts— spirits of the dead—any way.

Did you read that latest thing from (tie great soul of William Jennings Bryan, delivered in' New Torjkl; “■Iieit no man bring to my death bed;for consolation Dairwin’s *' ‘De­ scent of Man.” Rather, let my friends read to me the twenty-third Psalm: “The Lord .is my Shep­ herd I shall not want.’’ Toall people who think for them­ selves, there comes, at some time in life, this proposition: Ejlther I am descended from a soulless, stomachlesa, brainless, spiojeless germ, as science declares, or Ifftm from God. The study of the scientific side of t$is proposition is fascinating, the argument, full of logic. The end arcijred at*is a blank wall, with no hope/no consolation. We’re sim ply soulless brutes of high degree and.iife is but a contemptible joke on the spermatozoa. We go down in Titanics and that’s the last of us, so far as Onr widows, orphans and loved friends are concerned. Disbelief, hopelessness, despair! - Biit when a man has reached Bryan’s age, he see’s that all the happiness possible in this life doeB not suffice with Death and Eternity knocking at the door; that all the force of reason, all the deductions of logio of what thinking men must have. Face to face with Forever, man turns from the deep hole which Io gic has dug downward and turns vhi8 face upward to catch the bless- rays of faith from on The pictnre of his child’s cqld; corpse knocking aboat with tgej&davers in the Titantic coffin, aoi^n there in the sea, gives place to a!picture of a child, happy, safe at p$ace on the breast of God the Father.

Age! of the Several -Presidential J Candidates. id is interesting- to know that every one of the seven candidates, e ve n including Roosevelt, has beeiji admitted to the bar, and five of t^em have had successful careers in the law, says the American ma­ gazine. Two. have been judges. No One of them is a business man, and j no one, save Mr. Harmon, haB ( hadj any considerable experience with bn?iness affairs, either large or stnall. No one of them is a rich man and though several of. them, by virtue of their high talents have been able at times to earn large in- comjes, they have all been bard workers. Two or three of them have been relatively poor men and are devoting themselves unreserv­ edly to public work. AU of the candidates, save Wil- _son, have hadr long experience in public office, and in dealings with publiemen and public questions. While most Of them can be called able politicians, no one of them belongs to that' extreme type known- as a machire politician; a boss. Thfre is to the credit of every One of (hem not a little sound public service. All of the seven, save possibly Harmon; are at the very prime of life for national leadership. These are their ages: Underwood, 50 years old: Roosevelt', 54 years old. Taft, 55 years old. Wilson, 56 years old. LaFollette, 57 years old. Clark, 62 years old, Harmon, 66 years old. It is-also of curious rather than of important interest that most of the seven were born in states which have long been fertile in the pro­ duction of presidents and presi­ dential candidates. Wilson was born in Virginia, Clark and Under­ wood in Kentucky, Taft and Har­ mon in Obio, and Roosevelt in New York. Oiily one candidate, La- Follette1Comes from what may be called a new presidential state.— Ex. A Fashion Item. A Boston preacher says women are over dressed.

A tthe term of Federal Court, in Greensboro one year ago, Claude Underwood was convicted of illicit distilling and sentenced by the court to a year and a day in the Atlantaj>enitentiary. says the Re­ cord, whereupon the defendant a- rose and told the court that he would like to be obliging, but he jnst couldn’t; see his way clear to beginuiog that term right away, “Judge,” he said, “I would like to accomodate you, butljustcan’t possibly go to the penitentiary right now. I have got an old motn- er, some children, a wife and a ‘quare sister at my house to! sup­ port and my craps is just in' such condition that I just can’t afford to go to Atlanta now.” After saying further that he hated not to be accomodating and would come back any other time when his siCrapsv... were attended to, the convicted man sat down. So struck with the peculiarity of the situation or maybe ' more by the earnestness ot the fellow and ' the iusight into a character which held some of the. finest traits of real manhood, despite his viola­ tions Of the law, Judge Boyd hear­ kened to the words of the prisoner, “I can’t go to the pen now,” and told him to come back to begin his Bervice at the Decimber term of Court. Last December he returned, ac­ cording to the extraordinary a- greement, and reported to the Court., He was told that he might spend until the following June with fiisI family. So Wednesday Under­ wood was again in attendance up­ on the United States, Court, ready to serye his sentence. But he was discharged by Judge Boyd and al­ lowed to go to his home in Ran­ dolph county, where he will care for the aged mother, the babies and the “ quare” sister.

We pause for a reply. The Republican party should adopt as its motto, “Thou shalt not lie,” and mail Teddy a marked copy. The new third party was born on Sunday, called to order by a demo­ crat, with scriptural verses from ai> Alabama Roosevelt negro delegate. A fine opening, brethren. The Socialist flag is red. Teddy has swiped their flag for his new party, along with Bryan and Wil­ son’s platform; and Eugene Debbs woman’s suffrage plank. The people of Davie county should stand by the Republican party and not go wild over strange gods. A new party in the county this year is what the Democrats want, for it means Democratic victory. Keep your eye on Teddy and Bry- ar. Democratssay Bryanwill nev­ er desert the democrats, and Teddy followers say their man will never go to Bryan. Somebody is going. Keep your eyes open and watch the miracle: PoorBilly Bryanl1Howoftenhave the Democrats hugged thee to their bosom, only to at last give thee a toss into the briar patch among oth­ er creeping, crawling, poisonous rep­ tiles which seek daily whom they would devour. The Record doesn’t know who is going to be elected tb fill the coun ty offices this fall. Since Roosevelt has severed his connection with the Republican party, his followers can­ not be Republicans, and of course will have no voice in a Republican county convention. A coun'y or­ ganization composed of woman suff­ rage, Bryan-loving, Teddy worship­ ers might be organized, which would mean three parties in the ring. THIRTEEN YEARS OLD. With this issue Tue Record com­ pletes its thirteenth year. The pa per has had many ups and dowr s since it first saw the light of day in 1899. For the first eight years of its existence Mr, E. H. Morns had control of its destinies, and had a hard struggle in building it up. In July, 1907, the present editor moved here from Tennesseee,, and took charge of the paper under a lease. In November, 1908, we purchased the printing plant and good will oi t(re paper, and for the past five years we have done our best to give the people of Davie and adjoining coun­ ties a clean, respectable, local pa­ per. How well we have succeeded our readers know. At the age of 11 years, we went into a newspaper of­ fice, and for the past twenty years have been laboring for the upbuild­ ing and development of the town and community in which our lot was cast. When we took charge of The Record five years ago, the paper had a circulation of about six hundred, many of whom were behind from one to five years. When the new postal law went into effect in 1908 we had to cut off 360 subscribers at one time. At the present time- our circulation is about fifteen hundred, which is composed of the best peo- pletn the county. Our aim in the future will be:to give our readers the best paper in the county at the lowest price possible. We shall con­ tinue to work for the upbuilding of our town and county, striving at all times to offened none, but Vheiying to,the fine, letting, .the chips fall where they may.” We have made a few enemies Sincertaking charge of The Record—men jvho could not stand to read the truth—but a news­ paper without.enemies is like a ship without a rudder-worth nothing. We wish to- thank all those who have given us their- subscriptions, their advertising and stationery printing; also those who have furnished us the news from over the county. The Recordshall stand for the great principles advocated by the Repub lican party, and shall refuse to run after strange gods who set them­ selves up to lead the followers of AbeLincqlnand William McKinley into paths of unrighteousness. T. R. Serves A ll FormerReIaIioos. . Cleveland, O., June 24,—Anew party from the ground up is the Roosevelt program. After a series of discussions with his IieutenantB today before leaving Chicago in which there were Several sharp clashes, Colonel Roosevelt decided to cut entirely away from the parly with which his whole' public car­ eer has been identified. His de cision was a - disappointment to those who favored the organization of what might be considered au in­ dependent Republican party with which various State organizations might co-operate aud still maiptain it was hoped, a nominal regularity. “There must be no compromise, no straddle,” Colonel Roosevelt said. As an indication .of; his de termination, he said that when he returned to Oyster Bay he would communicate with a number of De- mociats who, he thought1, might wish to join the new party. No New Parly. : District Attorney A. E- Holton, of Winston; in an interview given a reporter on the Winston, Journal has this to say: AU the while the district Attor­ ney had ,been fumbling around for a newspaper. Then he found it, carefully applied his glasses and looking carefully down the columns of the Monday morning, edition containing the account of the Sun lay meeting of the Roosevelt con vention in Chicago, he began to read thus: i " “Scattered through the hall were a large number of Roosevelt dele gates to the Republicau convention Judge Ben B. Lindsay of Denver, a Democrat, arose. “Sure there can bs no more sol­ emn occasion than this one,” he said. “ We are beginning on Sun­ day, a great new movement, I be­ lieve that we should begin it by asking the guidance of Him for whom we are here.” ! “Dr. W. H. Mixon of Selma, Ala., a negr^'clergyman and a Roosevelt delegate, who 'was ex- cluned from the Republican con­ vention, began to recite the Psalm which begins:; f “ ‘The Lord is my shepherd.’ Tae-RelegateB arose and. repeated it with him. A prayer !by Dr. Mixon followed.” i When, he had finished ' reading Mr. Holton declared: “Now I will answer -your question by saying tais—if the Republicans off North Carolina desire to follow the leader ship of a Denver Democrajb and an Alabama negro, there will be a new party organized.' Also this new party would be bound to sup­ port Roosevelt, in his declaration that he will appoint a negro as a member of his cabinet,' should he again be elected president. “Herein this -Suhday conven­ tion of the Roosevelt crowd-we see a Democrat taking the lead and presenting a negro preacher for the prayer. Then this negro reads tl e Psalm, ‘The Lord is my Shepherd’ ’ aud all the delegates chime in. “I don’t believe that the Noith Cnohoa Republicans will want to go off under such leadeiship. Of ourse Richmond Pearson may not care, but the great rank and file < f the party, are not made that way. ’ “Now you-can state that I sai l seriously, that there is not the ghost of a chauce of formipg a new party in this State,” declared Mr. Holtonv “The Republicans will support Taft, who has been de­ clared the nominee of the party in a regularly organized national con vention, and who by all rights d<. s jrfes and merits the nomination.” I Mrs. A. M. McGlamery spent Thursday in Winston shopping. THE DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION Tke .democratic convention is still in session as we go to press. Clark is in the lead, with Wil80n dosfe behind. I Underwood, Harm­ on and others seem- to have lost out. Bryan has been causing the boys a good deal of trouble.: He wants the nomination and may get it. Tammany Hall seems to be on the front seats. Several fights have occurred m the convention, but nobody killed. No reduction has been made in hotel rates. Ted is watching the convention from a sale distance, and may fuse with the Democrats.

Of these Dr. R. V. Pieroe made a pure glyceric extract which has been favorably known for over forty yean. He called it “ Golden Medical Discovery." This " Discovery ” purifies the blood and tones up the stomach and the entire system in Nature’ own way, It’s just the tissue builder and tonie you require when recovering from a hard cold, grip, or pneumonia. No matter how strong the constitution the stomach is apt to be “ out of kilter" at times; in consequence die blood is disordered^ for the stomach is the laboratory for the constant manu­ facture of blood. Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery strengthens the stomach— puts it in shape to make pure, rich blood—helps the liver and kidneys to expel the poisons from the body. The weak, nerv­ous, run-down, debilitated condition which so many people experience at this time of the year is usually the effect of poisons in the blood; it is often indicated by pimples or boils appearing on the skin, the face becomes thin—youfeel "blue." “ More than a week ago I was suffering with an awful cold In my head, throat, breast, and body,” writes Mn.I G.

C. 2 P f l j i t I f W k>'I Unearthed a Pot of Silver in die Street. KeidsvilIe Review. Workmen who are grading the north end of Scales street unearth Pd a pot of silver Tuesday af er noon and the excitement following the discovery was something to tickle the resibilities of a cat. A colored laborer stuck his pick into the pot and jerked it out of Ihe ground. Hefound .inside a tin can in which there had been plac . ed silver to the amount of"$60 to «75. When his discovery was made there was a war -whoop among the laborers at work on the street and a regular scramble ensued. The negro who made the dis covery got ten cents of the contents of the package, 83 the story gee=; others got $6 and $8 and one is claimed to have “cabbaged” on to mote than $25. Just why the dis coverer landed only 10 cents is not explained, but it is supposed that he was so overcome with excite­ ment he forgot to harvest his find. One of the silver dollars bear? the date of 1880, showing that the package could not have been bur ied much over a third of a century. The money had rusted, but after poliehing it is good enough to spend. No one knows who placed the money in the earth, but there are tto'e who surmise that it was stol­ en aud buried there by the thief who intended to return and get it. Buy it now.

Au editor in South Carolina re ceived the following note.; “Dear Sir: I am a young man working for a salary of $26 a month I have a pretty good chance for a raise and have saved $800. I want to buy an automobile and I want to get married, too. Doyou think I could afford to do both*? Which would it be best to do firSt?” To this the editor makes this reply— “If you have picked out a girl who can support you in the t t..le to which you have been accustomed, go and marry her, and devote your own savings to the purchase of a car. If the young lady iii question is not wealthy, and Uoth girl aud car are absolutely neces­ sary to your continued existence, you had better take on the ci r first, and then hurry up and mar ry the girl before she finds ou> what a hopeless bonehtad you are. If you try to e trse this order ai d annex the girl firot, you will find that with millinery and patent baby foods at the prevailing prices yon will never get in shooting dis­ tance of a second-hand velocipede on your present income.”— Wades- boro Ansonian.

When day light came and his duties were ended he went home and to bed, forget tipg about his bidden treasure. The next night when he went back to his work, he went to look for his money, but alas for his Joiid hopies!

It' ,is true that most charitable objects do not receive the fisiftJicial support which they merit and should re­ ceive, bul in -some instances, at least, we believe the pegging’’ business is carried entirely top far. We have known itinerant solicitors to swoop down upon a poor fellow who cannot even meet necessary running expenses, and after plead­ ing ,for hours get the unfortunate one to believing that if he fails' to subscribe something he will go to the “demnition and -bowwows!’.? The solicitor absolutely disregards the assertion of the fellow that eve ry particle of his ability and ener­ gy are expended in keeping hi* business going and trying to . pay for the food and clothing required for his children. The man who fails to provide for his household is said to be worse than an infidel, and it is nothing short of nnadul terated gall to insist upon a con* tribution from a father who would have to take meat and bread from ^he mouths of his children in order to meet this forced-additional obli gation.

There is no more important ques­ tion conjing up on the farm' than that of how much and whatlsort of preparatioiiishall.be given the soil before planting the seed., The too common practice of giving it the least possible preparation is evident­ ly not the most profitable* but on the other hand, there may arise con­ ditions when the most thorough pre^ paration may not be the most profit­ able. For instance, the [average 'armer in the- overflowed sections ias concluded that it would not pay pay him to give any apecia) atten­ tion to preparing the land, theques- tion of getting the cotton seed in the ground as quickly as possible be­ ing with him the all-important mat­ ter. Whether this is true or not may be questioned, 'and yet there is a cer­ tain limitr to the extent to which money and time may be profitably expended in preparing the land for the crop. Not in many cases has the South­ ern farmeryeached that limit, but in preparing the oat and wheatlands for summer legumes and, in fact, In the late preparation of any land for the seed, a special question of exper diency arises. Recetatly a field was being broken up by a friend of the writer; and the clods were larger and more; numer­ ous than desirable. The local gov­ ernment Demonstration Agent hap-, pened along and su g g est, djridtag the laiici before tweaking Witn ,the plow. The suggestion.was tried and the results quite remarkable. The disking before plowing in this case made good preparation practicable, whereas, such seemed impossible tional fights and siooB. and unSl that e °oly safe thing to do is to die But restriction is nob character I llOither is custom.

As in many other casks, the prevention of clods is fat better than-the crushing of them after they areformed. Unless the ground is in extremely bad condition disking immediately before plowing and then immediately after before the I and has : dried out, will solve the clod question effectively, ,The ques­ tion is:‘y Will it pay topiowj disk the land twice and harrow it before put­ ting in the crop? . The question can only be I answer­ ed by an estimate of the cost of ex tra disking, set against the probable difference in yield. The greatest ob­ jection which the farmer finds to following the same grain crops with soy beans, peanuts and coAipeas is that the preparation of the land is of ten difficult, because of its dry condition, and comes at a .Utae when the'teams are needed in cultivating the cotton and corn. Id many cases the land gets hard so quickly after the oats and wheat are removed that it is almost impossible to get it iiTcondition for the legumes unless that is done promptly after the grains are removed. The running of the disk harrow once or twiee over the land just be­ fore breaking and then again im mediately after- breaking- is the only solution we know to this difficulty, when the land tends to break up in clods. Theqtiestion as to whether this amount of work will pay must be solved by each farmer for himself, as he alone is in posses, sion of all the facts necessary to de­ cide the question; but what we wish to stress at this time is tHS great ef­ ficiency of the disk in preventing clods if run before the breaking, and also in breaking clods if used imme-. diately after the plowing, j.By im­mediately after, I mean tjjie same day and not three or four CW8Afpr when the clods have dried -and be­ come hard.

It is not a pleasant thing to be aroused from slumber by a bugle-call, but it is better than to pn in the face of peril. We believe that the citizens of Lexiog ton aie not fully awake to the way are going in this town, and we are going to arouse them if they murder us for it.

Hadley, of Missouri and many others of the strongest Roosevelt supporters—men who have been honored and trusted-by the Republican party of their States and are interested in its per­ petuity, are not men to clamor for the de- structfon of that party merely because the vicissitudes of politics leave them in this particular contest at Chicbgo defeat­ ed; in their hopes, Perhaps they remem­ ber the bolt of Senators Teller, Cannon and others in the Republican Convention of 1896. The party did not suffer, but tte bolters did till they found refuge' but not rest in the ranks of the Democratic party. Perhaps they look back further to the bolt of the Republicans in 1872, which sent all the boitem into political retirement except those who chose to come back into politi­ cal life arid activity again through Re­ publican or Democratic parties. No doubt our Democratic friends feel much encour- _ aged by What seems to be a split in the ranks-of /the Republicans, but having I ^ trout I >p of their own in this respect, they I (Rw are not in a shape to utilize even what j f they so vainly hope to gain with their I own political camp in a turmoil. But such conditions are hot new. History very fre­ quently repeats itself and politically has never resulted in defeat, but in almost every instance has given an increased/Republican majority. That our readers may know the truth in regard to the attempts of former conventions to split the Republican party, let's look at a shptt history, beginning with 1864 when the Democratic party undertook to beat Inncoln with. Gen. McClellan, making the defeats in battle of the Union Army the of their cry of “peace at any price' hoping to. profit and win by this plan and by the candidacy of John C.

All announcement fees are due and payable in advance. The steam roller needs a new cog wheel, and a general overhauling. The “Cussing Schoolmaster’ a mighty big job on his hands. has lfyou don’t announce yourself for office this year, you will have Io wait two years. Now that the blackberry is here we find it impossible to secure the wfierewithall to purchase the sugar and the crusts. Taft will be elected without any trouble if the Repuolicans will get together and support the nominee of the party: Bryan fought Tammany Hall to beat the band, but when the critical moment arrived, he swallowed Boss Murphy, Ryan and the Tiger at cne big gulp and said he was happy. County politics is beginning to warm up a little. The Cooleemee Journal is boosting Thos. Caudell, of that burg for sheriff. Tom is a- fine fellow, and we hope he won’t run, for it would hurt us to see him de­ feated. The Republicans are talk­ ing up two or three' men for the place, but the convention is some time in the future vet. In another column appears the ai> nouncement“of J. W. Kimbrough, of Smith Grove, for the office of Regis­ ter of Deeds of Davie county, sub­ ject to the will of the Republican countv convention. The editor has known Mr. Kimbrough for the past twelve years, and we have no hesi­ tation in saying that we believe he could fill the office with credit to, himself, his party, and the people generally throughout .tie county. Mr. Kimbrough has been an active Republican since attaining manhood, and has done faithful service for the party for many years. The Re cord would be glad to see Mr. Kim­ brough secure the nomination, for we know that he can carry Davie by an overwhelming majority on the fifth day of Noyember, should he be chosen to fill that office. No New Party For Sen. Cummins. Washington, July 5. — Senator Cummins, of Iowa, progressive Re­ publican candidate for the presiden­ tial nomination at the Chicago con­ vention, today formally declared a- gainst the uew party movement led by Theodore Roosevelt and announ­ ced his allegiance to the old party. In so doing, Mr. Cummins declared that bosses could not be escaped by organization of new parties. He pointed out that disappointment or individual dishonesty cannot be a foundation of a new party. John G. Capers, of this city, South Carolina member of the Republican national committee who' supported Cojonel Roosevelt for the presiden­ tial nomination at Chicago, aiso formally announced his intention to support President Taft’s candidacy.

Gaddy, of Marshville township killed two very large snakes in his residence last Friday one being found between the wea- therboarding and the ceiling and the other in the middle of a room, and on last Sunday he found the third big snake between the - fire- board and chimney and killed it. The snakes were enormous ones, as large around as a man’s leg just a- bove the ankle, and each one mea­ sured over five feet in length. Mr. Grady heard a - peculiar scraping sound between the ceiling and the weatherboardipg of his house and he ripped off some of the planks to see what it was making the noise and found to his surprise a big snake. He got his shotgun and killed the snake and when 'he went to put up the gun he saw another reptile in the middle of the room Mr. Grady is sure there is still aoother snake in his house for he has heard that peculiar sound he heard before he killed the first snake over behind the ceiling, and he is keeping a sharp watch for it. The reptiles killed were white and yellow spotted and had very small and sharp-pointed heads. A great many people have seen the snakes and all who have »een them say that they have never seen snakes like unto them? W earise to state we would not try to sleip in that house in which the big snakes were found until the weather gets down about the zero mark for no man’s four dollars. The thoughts of an other great big, sharp-headed, spotted sr.ake crawling about the- house—gee whiz, it gives one the shivers.

WEDNESDAY. .IULY 17. 1912.NUMBER 2 The Farmer Boy. flonroe Journal. glseffhere in this paper is copied jfesr remarks by Charity and Children on the subject of the farmer boy. They are timely and ffise as far as they go, but there is another and larger phase of the subject that must sooner or later loom IarS0 in t^e min^ of a11 lin k ­ ing peopl0- The question is not of the boy who leaves the farm, but tie one who stays there. Are his diattces for success becoming bet­ ter or worse, especially the boy rtomusfc make his own way and Iia9Dotlandandequipmentalready jiruislied him by a successful fa- fter? A lew days ago a practical fanur ersaid to this writer that conditi­ ons had now become so that a boy could not Btart out and make en­ ough OD the farm to buy his land aud equip it. A few years ago when land was cheap any farmer boy who bed energy and fair judg­ ment could start out, buy land on a credit, support himself and even­ tually equip and pay for his farm. Itisbecomingrarer and rarer the case that he can do this now, aud onr farmer said that this was real­ ly the reason whj boys were leav­ ing the farm, meaning that they saw there a continued narrowing of opportunities. The rapid increase in land values in the South, which has been her- aled as an improvement, and a so called development, bids fair to prove a stupendous evil. Unless it is checked it means the gradual divorcement of the people from the land, for the simple reason that the men who work it will to t be the enormous and in- that speculation .and HiMred forces are carrying it to. Tie minute that land becomes so' Wgh that only the rich can own - it and it is becoming so all the time, tbat minute poverty and hardship begin to increase. We are over­ doing land booming, becanse all the so-called increase in land val ues is wholly a fictitious increase, snd not any real increase in wealth. The inflation of land values is very much like the watering of stock iu industrial and public ser­ vice corporations, a simple increase in the amount of so-called _ capital llPon which labor must continue to pay a large and larger propofc torn of its produce to satisfy. They ate nw claiming: that the farmer gets only 35 cents for what the con- 6uMer pays a dollar.for .,Fictitious caP>tal, always increasing the cost °f living, is responsible for much ofthat. Extravagance in govern- fflMt1 multiplied bond issues and hundreds of other things add to if, aud it is already bad enough.; But •he time is coming when a larger ®nd larger part of the 35 cents that ’’ lelt to him will be taken up to j?ay interest on inflated land values, hen he will be getting less and eSSall the time. It makes no dil- ereHce that some of the farmers *11 continue for a long time to their own lands, it is but a •Nation of time till fewer and fewer 0^them will, and eventually none, 1 present tendencea are check I • Then we shall have absentee ■Jdlordism, a thing that has *®‘ne<l every country on God’s rth upon which it has set itsloot. The so called increase of wealth South today is to a great ^gree fictitious. Take a man who “ught a large; quantity of land J ftt9 a8°i say dt a dollar per acre, pe®ell8it to his neighbor and ets a Profit.'of a hundred and t J t,10n8and dollars. For the Ii^of WBlife he and his family tW h idIeue88- Wh° suPPorMla . e laborers who work thaif , I ! ts^ing enough out of their land speculation goes on, we are more and more separating folks in­ to two classes. Those who work and those who don’t work. Those who don’t work are able ,to appro­ priate the proceeds of those who do by the simple process.described above. That is the way; that ab­ sentee landlordism has its rise, and because it creates a horde of non­ workers, it breaks the backs of those who do work. That is the situation in its narrow nakedness, and a view of it that w’ill make many hold up their hands in hor­ ror, but it is the truth. ; The revival in better methods of farming is a great thing and is at present a blessing to thje South, but if we would reap the full bent- fits from it we must open our eyes to the tendency of things, . We must devise methods for keeping the land in the hand of. the mail who works it; we must devise means of preventing the overcapitalization of lands, of business, of manufaq ture, of all public enterprises, so that the product of labor, which is the only real wealth of the coun­ try, shall not be taken out of the hands of labor in an ever increaS' ing proportion. Of all the ways of doing the job of depriving the laborer of his hire, land speculation and the inflatation of land values is the oldest, most certain,; and the last one that people will see. Boys will continue to go to town as long as we coddle tne manufac­ turing element and commercial ele­ ment and thereby create temporal ily a better opportunity there. When the overstocking of the city aud town is complete, the j popnla tion will begin to Buffer there just as it does now in overcrowded sec­ tions. Then it will se e k to ^ Jh a d t on tlie cSTOtff , to • find a closed door there. . Heretofore it could always find an open door >in the country, because land was cheap and plentiful. It will never be cheap again, till we change some of our laws. Now of course there are individual cases that kre ex ceptions to the general rules we have been discussing here. We are talking of general principles and tendencies. And in the light of what we have said, is the chance of the farm boy expanding or narrowing in the Southl W hat do you think! Wisdom? Folly?

It is gratifying that North Carolina has made so much progress in agriculture aB ;to at tract the notice of such a ^ublica tion as the Wall Street Journal. The production of greater crops on fewer acres is evidence of improved cultivation methods, and it is one; thing which the Star for yeara has constantly emphasized. Greater production per acre and larger crops per laborer solves the Econo­ mic problem of farming, and North Carolina has so dearly demonstrat­ ed that she is doing profitable form ing on fewer acres that the world is sitting up and taking notice,” ing to sign a bill which abolished civil marriage, in an American StatelJsso unspeakably false to American ideals and institutions, that one might , well say that he reeks with perfidy, 'treachery and mendacity.

The Wall Street Journal has dis­ covered that last year. North Caro­ lina produced nearly twice as much cotton to the acre, as boastful Texss did. The Old North!Stateigot 315 pounds of cotton from an acre, com pared with 186 pounds as the ave rage for Texas. The yield was 50 per cent above the average. The Journal says: “Should; any given state, no matter how; backward, add 20 per ceDt to its yield per acre each year it would only take five years to double its cotton crop A general movement in this direc­ tion would enable the cotton Btates to diversify their crops without re­ ducing the cotton yield a single pound.” The Wilmington Star adds: “North Carolinanow leads as a peanut producing state, and The Only Dry Place.

The blackberry season will soon be over, and up to this writing we have had but very few pies. We are de­ pending on the Farmers’ Union pic­ nic to make up the deficiency. The Marshville Home is carrying thirty-four announcements asking for Democratic pie. And this from a crowd who are always yelling “pie hunters’’ at the Republicans. Some of our friends on R, I, who are dog-raisers sent us word last week that they were going to hang us—on a blackberry briar. If the briar is full of berries we won’t raise any objections. We got hung on several briars the other morning, but suffered no ill effects except hav­ ing to purchase a bag of sugar and a preserving kettle. The Record doesn’t condemn Ted­ dy for wanting to be president. It condemns him for deserting the party that made him president for nearly eight years, and paid him al­ most a half million dollars for hold­ ing down the job. The Record is for Taft because he is the nominee of the Republican party. Had Ted­ dy been nominated we would have supported him. HAS THE OBSERVER FORGOT?

Owen, Democratic Uni­ ted States Senator from Oklahoma, in writing to The Saturday Evening Tribune, a negro paper published at Muskogee, Okla., among other things has this to sav: “There are many reasons why col­ ored men should support the Demo­ cratic party, Thecontrollingreason is this: that with all the faults of partisan hotheaded Democrats the Democracy fundamentally stands for the rights of man against privi­ lege, stands for equal rights to all and special privileges to none. Priv­ ilege to some means injury to others sand privileges to some means always ^privileges to the powerful, the rich, she strong, and never privilege to iihe weak and poor. This being true, the mass of men should support the party that stands for the mass of men. £1 confess, frankly, that the grand­ father clause which prevents the ig­ norant colored, man from voting, ought to prevent also the ignorant ,wlyfce man from voting, and that the, race discrimination in favor of th<£ ignorant white man must natur­ ally off enIPft^ighorant negro man.” The above ‘"white supremacy” ar­ ticle also appeared in The Custodian, a Democratic paper published at Dustin, Okla.. Theprayerful atten- ' tiodofour Democratic friends in North Carolitta is called to the above article. - Morehead Will Abide lie Skip. Charlotte Observer, 10th.

C. I-Viiijl ri .! "I -I * ii Bachelor Buttons. ' .Judge. Just now with the growing equa­ lity of the sexes, efforts seem to be making to take unfair advantage of man. just as man—as it is claim ed—during he ages has taken aD unfair advantage of woman. Most poetry and fiction still written, as well as most modern drama, brea­ thes the ancient sentiments as to the sexes, though the language is different and the “situations” are modern. But the fair sex, clamor­ ing for privilege are adopting mea­ sures for their own man. It was only the other day that a body of women declared—and they would embody the declaration in law if they could—that unmarried men should wear badges or but­ tons, showing to ail feminine eyes their eingle state. It is supposed that this provis oa would guide women in search of mates and save them from falling in love with sorre undeserving man already attached. In an English town the other day following a decision that there were too few marriages in the com­ munity, sixty nine bachelors were warned to vacate their cottages or seek mates in the conventional way. Most of the bachelors are moving. Compulsory marriage— and what else would marriage in such case be?—is^ the very last thing that even a hopeless epinis- ter should invoke. As for badges or buttons to designate unmarried men, they would serve no good purpose. The married man on wickedness bent might buy or bor­ row Buch a button or badge and do his worst. All labored theories and new ideas on this subject are irrelevant and confusing. Human nature, as the sexes represent its variations and its contrasts, should be let a lone. The only outside party to be considered in this matter is Cupid, and, really, he is no outsider. Al­ though he is an old hand at the business, he has parennial youth and he is honest enough to do his work well in most circumstances, although, like other contractors, he is sometimes embarassed by un­ usual demands and specifications not referred to in original contract?. If you are a housewife you cannot reas­ onably hope to be healthy or beautiful by washing dishes, sweeping and doing housework all day, and crawling into bed dead tired at night. You must get out into the open air and sunlight. If you do this every day and keep your stomach and bowels in good order by taking Cham­ berlain’s Tablets when needed Vou should become both healthy and beautiful. For sale by all dealers.

They have had a record of only two years;'and now repudate that, How can they hope to get recruits and get more power, when they themselves condemn tinir own record, repudate their own lead­ er?—Hickory Mercury. Bad Spells " I suffered, during girlhood, from womanly weakness,” writes Mrs. Mollie Navy, of Walnut, N. C. J wAt last, I was almost bed-ridden, and had to give up. J W e had three doctors. AU the time, I was getting worse. I had bad spells, that lasted from 7 to 28 days. In one week, after I gave Cardui a trial, I could eat, sleep, and joke, as well as anybody. In 8 weeks, I was well. I had been an invalid for 5 weary years I Cardui relieved me, when everything else failed.” TAKE - TKe WomarfsTonic If you are weak and ailing, think what it would mean, to you, to recover as quickly as Mrs. Navy did. For more than 50 years, this purely vegetable, tonic remedy,for women, has been used by thousands of weak and ailing sufferers. They found It of real value in relieving their aches and pains.

The TroA There is nothing that calls at­ tention and draws people to a town equal to a good newspaper. In order for a man to make a good newspaper he must have the pat­ ronage of the people among whom he lives. Tf he has halfway sup­ port it stands to reason that he must make a poorer paper, and in doing this every man in the town and surrounding country has to bear a portion of the loss” For this reason, it for no other the man who tries to make a good newspaper should have: the support of his town people; all of whom reap fully as much benefit from its ef­ forts as he does himself.—Ex. Bryan vs. Tammany. Bryan fought tbe Gark conservatives and also Murphy, who lead NewYork and its Tammany forces and in the face of the results, the nominee, Goverhor Wilson cannot expect much of a showing in car­ rying the vote of New York, a very im­ portant factor in a presidential‘campaign. The truth is. with Mr. Bryan as hisleader dictator and guardian, cah Governor Wil­ son feel sure of success in any State? Twice Bryan has tried to win the Presi­ dency and failed and to elect Wilson is virtually the election of Bryan and all his hobbies, which the nation has ' twice re­ pudiated at the ballot box and-WiU doubt­ less do so again.—Union Republican.

There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by con­ stitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the muqousliningof the Eustachian Tube, When this tube is inflamed, you have a rumbling sound or im perfect hearing, and when it is en­ tirely closed, Deafness is the result- and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube Restored1 to its normal condition, heading wijl.be destroyed forever; nine ca­ ses out of ten are caused by Catarrh which is nothin but an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces.

Io Case of a Three-Cornered Con­ test. In the case of a three cornered contest for President in which no candidate receives a majority in the election, the choice of a Presi dent will be thrown into the House o f Representatives. Each State delegation, large and small, would have one vote, Hevada voting the same strength as Hew York. The GreenBboro Hews says of this in teresting possible situation: In the event of such result, 48 States will be entitled to partici pate in the election. The concur ring vote of 25 would be necessary to elect a President. As the house is aligned at the present time, 22 delegations are Republican, 22 are Democratic, and in four States the delegation is tied politically. These four States, the Philadelphia Press argues, “ would be out of the con test;” The vote in the house would then stand 22 for a Republican candidate and 22 for a Democratic candidate. In this eventuality, the vice president, elected by the Senate, would become Pr sident. One hundred and twelve years have elapsed since the election of a President was thrown into the House; the vote of the electoral college being tied between Jeffer­ son and Burr.

The deliberations of the Republican voters ought to convince them that Mr. Taft can be elected if they will only for get the conditions which have been re- flocted in the excitement of the conven­ tion and get to work for the good of the party. AU the signs and omens point to the collapse of a movement which would hava endangered Republican unity in the face of the common enemy. The Rooser velt bolt, if it comes at aU, which is doubtful, will take the form of a third party, of which the platform wiU be the personal views and political eccentricities of the third-term candidate, Many of his foUowers are serving notice on him that they will neither follow him in aholt nor into a third party. They are Repub­ licans who have fought oiit the fight to a finish in the convention and are going to abide by the result. To get any voters at all Roosevelt must weaken the Democrat­ ic party as wejji as summon to his .assis­ tance the lingering,extremists'of his own persuasion., If he persists in this re­ ported program he will help towardB the re-election of President Taft, but it may be seriously doubted if the . gathering of the claims under the Roosevelt banne wiU be aU numericaUy impressive Bos­ ton {Transcript. f.

The several counties in the State are preparing to take a vote on the question of issneing bonds for the coustnicliou of improved roads. It (sometimes requires a good deal of argument to bring the voters ar- jiiuud to a viewpoint, where they recognize the utility and ther ad- visibility of a bond issue. The experience of a Tennessee county is thus related by a writer in the Southern Agriculturist: “It lias been. but a few years Biuce the great majority of taxpay­ ers of Iiobertson county were vio­ lently opposed to issueing bonds with which to build pikes. In 1903 a vote was taken on the question of issueing bonds to the amount of 8150,000 for pike building and was carried by a very small majority. But for some years the countj couit refused to sell the . bonds. During all this time the advocates of good roads kept up the Aghtj and by degrees moulded public sentiment that was irresistible. In 1911 the court sold the bonds aad couimeiiced the work. So strong lias tbe sentiment grown, and so urgeut was the demand, that a few days ago the issue of selling $300,- 000 worth of additional bonds was submitted, and crrried about six to one We have now $450,000 to build pikes over the county, and it is estimated that when this mon­ ey is expended any farm in Rober­ son county will b e . within two miles of a good pike.” The same writer says, “ There is no practical way to construct pub lie roads without the. issue of bonds." Ifthe roads are , to be built to benefit persons now living* the foregoing statement certainly is true. It is possible to build roads on the piecemeal order,. but the process is next thing to inter roiuable. It is better to build in that way than not to build at all, but the county which improves a bit of highway here and another bit there will be a long time get;., ting a good system of roads, lor some sections will be worn out be fore others are constructed, and unless there is careful maintenance all along the line, the results are not likely to be satisfactory. Build­ ing in this way is a more needless proceeding than “ taking two bites at a cherry”—it amounts to con­ suming the cherriea by a series of nibbles. Counties which are in need of emancipation from mud should re alize that the best and quickest way to bring about their freedom is to raise the money and build the roads. And the only practical method of raising it is by the bond issue, which permits of speedy im­ provement. ' Cat Reared Rat-to Eat. How a mother cat fattened a young rat for her personal consump tion is vouched for by Charles E. Gilmore, yardmaster at the Tenni7 ual Association, says the Kansas Uity Times. In a cabin along th tracks a black cat called'*‘M g” by yardmen, has been a star boarder, Several days ago Nig. became the mother of two kittene.

Grant was a candidate for the Presidency of a third term. John ShermanofOhio and James G-. Blain were also candidates. James A^ Garfield. placed John Sheimah in nomination, and the speech was great one. Sherman was not nominated l>ut Garfield’s speech made such a favorable impression that it led to his own nomination and election. ~ We present the speech below believing it will be read with interest. “ As I sat in my seat and w it­ nessed this demonstration,,; this as­ semblage 3eemed to me a hum an ocean in tem pest. I have seen the sea lashed into the fury and tossed into spray, and its grandeur moves the soul of the dullest man; but, I remember th at it is not the MllowiS but the calm level of the se&, from which all heights and depths are m easured. W hen the storm has passed and the hour of calm settles on the ocean, when tbe sunlight bather its peaceful surfacfe, when the astronom er and ,surveyor take the level from which they measure ed all terrestrial heights and depths. * “ Gentlemen of the Convention, your present temper may not mark the healthful pulse of our -people. When your enthusiasm has passed, when the emotions of this hour have subsided, we shall find below the storm and passion that calm level of public opinion from which the thoughts of of a mighty people are to be measured, and by which the thoughts of a mighty I people, are to be measured, and by which their final action will be determine ed. ■ ‘ v .- “Not here, in this brilliant circle where fifteen thousand men and women are gathered, is the destiny of the RepOblic to be decreed for tbe next four years. Not here, where I see the enthusiastic forces of seven hundred and fifty-six de legates waiting to cast their lots into theurn and determined, the choice of the Republic; but by four millions of Republican fire sides, where the thoughtful votere, with wives arid children about them, with the calm thoughts in spired by love of home and coun try, with the history of the past, the hopes of the future, and rever ence for the great days gone by, burning in their hearts—‘THEIR God who prepares the verdict will determine the wisdom of our work tonight.—” Into Masonry via Breeches. Law's Lash. • . Begosh, it’s happened and theres no way to help it. A few, weeks ago, in a city built with hands, where it hasn’t become a common fashion tor females to. mingle and mix up with men’s breeches, a lady secretly slid into a big: jeans pair and got a clerking job iin.a clothing store for a few weeks. Evierybody took the dear thing for a pious kind of a minister who was sorty late sproutin’ whiskers, and even the gentleman who owned the store just got to liking that ‘^fellow” to Iieat the very dickens. He insis* ed on ‘‘Mm” joining the masons* which was favorably considered. During the work of the. third de gree her sex was discovered. Now in the third degree they have an artificial mouse which is wound up like a clock and runs at the candi­ date. The process of initiation went on all right till- thisv .artificial mouse tried to run up the girl’s trousers leg and she' grabbed heir imaginary skirts in both hands and raised them to an alarming height a n d j umped clean over the nabob’s head onto the top of a table and screamed “ bloody murder ti}l: the police forced an entrance. Bflt the girl is a mason with the exception of the mouse degree and they can’t help it. Thishas caused a new feature in the initiation of:. mason­ ry, and they investigate! before, leaving the ariti room. It ip stated' now that the lodge examines carei fully the feet of its applicants. I t th e feet are cold enough to freeze ice cream the candidate is black,, balled. When a woman sets her head to find out a secret, there’s no dickens if she doesn t get there some way. - * The Catastrophe. The country is not on a solid ba­ sis and it is not the lault of the tariff, the trusts, the pension bills or auyother governmental ques tion. It is the spirit of reckless ex travagance that has seized our peo pie. To be in-debt these: 'days, is a decoration of honor. We. have people in this town of Ph^masytUe whb would not hesitate to buy the Southern Railway on four months time: Riding up and down the streets of our towts in costly auto mobiles are pjeople whose grocery bills are a year behind. XJfcourse they raise the same old cry that it is nobody’s business but their own, but they are mistaken. It is some ’b business. - I t is time to cry aloud and spare not against the Will Put it Up to Forsyth County.' Winston Journal. To use the words of a prominent citizen, who says Jiei knows what he is talking about, the citizens of Davie county will put it up to Forlyth so say whether or not a steel bridge shall be built across IheiT iidkin river near Gfcmmons Station, which will link. the heart of Darie county with Winston-Sa Iem. It is learned that the Davie citizens have raised by private sub­ scription more than-$3,OO0 of the $5,000 or $6,000 which they ex­ pect to contribute, this being half theamount required to build the bridge. It is understood that when the money is raised a delegation from Davie will appear before the coun- reckless spirit that looks not one Gy commissioners and demaud that inch ahead but plunges in the dark at thirty ipiles an hour. The day of reckoning miist come for this wild extravagenee, and at the, pres­ ent rate it will not be long coming. Dr. Kilgo was right in his warning two years ago. We are approach­ ing the greatest panic since the war and it will be remembered as the automobile pianic. We have for­ gotten of the old days when people <rere as afraid of debt as of a bear. Perhaps the old folks were too ti­ mid to make investments, but that, is a safer side’ than this. It is sometimes good business to make a deal with !borrowed * money or with no money at all> providedone has something-to show ior it, but to go out and put good money in a ballon, tbat perhaps means a mort­ gaged home, is pretty good evi­ dence of a fool for the lack of sense. A man who has an1 income above and beyond the wants of his family can.own and maintain an automo­ bile, but anybody who burns mon­ ey in this way who owes it to others or who needs it to supply the ac­ tual necessities of those dependent upon him, has lost his-reason. And the tragic part about it is, those who have been seized with this wild delirium are unconscious of any danger. They. imagine that they haveiound the key to pros perity and happiness-because of the temporary exuberance produc ed by speed. As sure as chickens come home to >roost the folly of poor folks trying to ride with the rich will overwhelm them sooner or later.

Forsyth do its share by contribut ihg the rest. It will cost between $10,000 and$12,000 to "construct tbe-bridge. The citizens of Davie are greatly interested and are working hard to raise half the funds ueeded. It is the ,plan to build the bridge at the point on tbe Yadkin where an old bridge stood m 1850. This point is in a direct line between this city and the center of Davie county, arid it is declared that the bridge will:mean much for Forsyth coun­ ty in that it will furnish a greatly desired convenience to the people who want to trade in the Twin- City and are now trading else­ where because of the rivir. It is said: that the bridge will draw trade not only from Davie county, but from Rowanand Iredell. The point proposed for the bridge is^inatural bridge site and it 7 will be an easy matter to construct a bridge above the. high ater mark. [The above is news to us, , but we hope it is true. A bridge is badly needed connecting Davie and Forsyth. There is some .talk of building such a bridge, but Da­ vie Cannot pay half the expense.

Ife is declared by those who favor the construction of Jhe bridge,; that at this point naturejias provided natural site, with high bluffs on each sidejof the river, so that the span will necessarily be surprisingly short. A bridge stood across the Yadkin at this point in 1850, but fell of itself in about 1856. Old people tell astoiy connected with the collapsing of the bridge, that a man with a four-horse team had just driven across and the hind wheels of his wagon had hardly cleared the bridge, when it fell into the river. ' It is said that the river at this point forms a shoal, is shallow and that the bed is filled with natural stones, while in the middle can yet be seen what is left of the pillows that supported the bridge of the fathers. ;r-. Kr. J. Hampton Rich returned yesterday-.from Clemmons and he declares that the people of that Fe > tiohrare enthusiastic over the plan to construct a bridge at the old site. AIso he learned that a movement wasonin Dkvijg coqnty to assist For­ syth in the/construction : of the bridge,, altilbugtiriothing definite has been': done. It is1 said that a road by this bridge-site would afford the shortest possible route from Winston Salem to the center of Davie county, and hence that the bridge would mean muijhfor Winston-Salem and the citizens of Davie, It is known that Mr. P. H. Hanes, of this; city; whois a member of the Board of Commissioners of Forsyth county lookls with favor upon the, plans to construct the bridge. : : THE BESI IN IH E COUNTY. -I have been in the undertaking business for 42 years, and have the best line of caskets, , robes and supplies in the coiinty.

CYRUS THOMPSON NOTICE TO OUR SUBSCRIBERS^ In the future we will‘not have-the time to chase our i subscribers over the town in an effort to collect what they are due us. as we haye done - in the past. Our time will have to be spent in the office, as we are now compelled to fill the position of dev­ il, printer; manager and editor all combined. Our enemies will find cs in our office over the Angel’s store working like the “devil” _ used to work. ; Some of our subscribers who have been using back streets when they came to tbwn for fear of meet­ ing us, can now venture; out on the public highway without fear of be­ ing chased by a hungry man. Our office door will remain open at all times during tbe diay, .and. a glad welcome awaits any and all of our- subscribers who are owing us, or whom we are owing. One Killed And Fifteen Hurt.' Bristol, Tenn., July ,17.—Bruce A. Hodges, a railway mail clerk of this city, was instantly killed and about fifteen others seriously injured, when New York and Memphis Lim­ ited train No. 25 was wrecked Son the: Southern Railway five miles south of Bristol at 4 o’clock this af­ ternoon. The cause of the wreck is not known. I Simmons and Kitchin haven’t mac e i Taft Will Fight For-Every Elector, up and kissed vet.______ Some Democrats have even con­ ceded ’that Taft will be the next President. ______• The newthirdpartyseems to be growing the wrong way. There are but two leaders left, Teddy arid Dixon. ■__________ The building and loan association, the morning train to Charlotte- and the hosiery mill are still things that are needed for Mocksville. The Republican county convention should be called at an early date. The State Convention will meet in Charlotte about the middle of next . month. If Democratic papers tell the truth, one would be led to believe that the Democratic party in this section are also in possession of a steam roller. Woodrow Wilson is the son of a Presbyterian preacher, which would tend to make one wonder whether he is as mean as most preachers sons are reputed to be. v A bar-room has never been knoWn to firing many good people to a town, while mills and factories go far to­ wards inducing good people to locate in a community. The Charlotte Observer must be in the clutches of the panic. We were in Charlotte one night recent­ ly and came near failing to locate the office of that excellent paper. The big electric sign that adorns the top of the building was out of com­ mission for some reason or other. Washington, July 17.—President Taft will fight Cdlonel Roosevelt arid leadersof the ;thiri iarty move­ ment for every ; presidential elector who runs on a Republican ballot un­ der the President’s name. The fight will be carried into ev­ ery State where third party leaders hope to have " Republican elector,, vote for Mr. Roosevelt. Regular Republicans in touch with the Pres­ ident, the Republican National com­ mittee and the; Taft leaders, will be­ gin at once a campaign to make sure that electors voted for on the Re­ publican ticket will stand by that ticket in the electoral college. = ? J. W. Bailey Dead. The many friends of J. W. Bailey throughout the town; and county will be pained to learn of his death, which occurred at his home in . this city at 6 o’clock Saturday morning. .Mr. Bailey bad been.: in bad health for the past two years, growing con­ tinually worse uirjilthe end came. He had been actively engaged irithe mercantile busiriess.for the past sev­ eral years, being the senior member of the firm of Bailey & Martin. JFor some years he was salesman for the firm of Williams' & Anderson; prior to that time he,.served for several years as deputy sheriff under Sheriff W. A. Bailey. Mr. Bailey was ?60 years of age, and was; a consistent member of the Methodist church The burial services were conducted by his pastor, Rev. R. E. Atkinson, on Sunday morning at U o’clock, and Eire body laid gently to rest in Jop­ pa cemetery to await the final/ re­ surrection. Mr. Bailev is survived by his wife and one sister, Mrs.; J. T. Parnell, who have the sympathy of the entire community in their sad bereavement. Mocksvilleisnotgrowing at the rate it should. Many of our good people are locating elsewhere be­ cause they cannot secure work here. Our town cannot build up until we secure some new manufacturing en­ terprises. No town can grow with­ out something to induce new people to settle in itJ We have a certain class of people in our midst who do not want the town to grow and pros­ per. They have a few acres of land and a little money, and no interest in the balance of the population. If we had a few live, up-to-date hust­ lers our town would soon double in population. Those who are owing us on sub scription. are earnestly requested to s snd the amount in at once, as ue are-badly in need of cash to pay our biilfffffiWe dislike very much to dun ends, but the time has: come ve are compelled to ask all Sre due us to settle up. There Sout 800 behind with their.sub mon, and, dear reader, if you afe'mie of this number,-- we want you to send or bring us the amount at once. The air is mighty hot, but it takes more than hot air to run newspaper and keep the bills paid. The Farmers’ Union picnic comes off Thursday at Clement Grove, this city. The editor/hopes to meet lots of his old friends on this iccasion and add many new ones. Every farmer in this whole section should take a.day off and attend this pic­ nic. Good speakers will be present to address the audience, and a big free dinner will be 'served,- There will be plenty of blackberry, pie on the side, with such things as cake, ham, chicken, pickles, etc., 46 fol­ low. If you miss this big picnic you stock of only $6,500, and an in­ surance on the', building of; only $7,000. It is thought that the $7,- OOO insurame carried on the build, ing by Mr. J. F. Smltbdeal. the owner, will cover J the damage to the structure,' but the insurance carried by Mr. Hester on the stock is not considered enough to balance the big loss in goods.

W h y iiVtemres?” This is the reason why women have " nerves.” When thoughts faeglntogrow cloudy and uncertain, impulses lag and the warnings of pain and distress are sent like flying messages throughout limbs and frame, straightway, nine, times in ten, a womanwiil lay the cause of the trouble to some defeot at the point where she first felt it. Is it a headache; a backache, a sensation of irritability or twitching and uncontrollable nervousness, something must be wrong'with the head or back, a- woman-naturally says, but. all the time the real trouble very often centers in the womanly organs. In nine cases out of ten the seat of the difficulty is here, and a woman should take rational treatment for its oure. The local disorder and inflam­mation of the delicate speoial organs of the sex should be treated steadily and systematically. Dr. Pierce, during a long oeriod of practice, found tbat a prescription mads from medicinal extracts of native roots,without the use of alcohol, relieved over 90 per cent, of such cases. - After using this remedy for manv years in his private prac­tice he put it up in formal Dr. Pierce’s- Favorite Prescnption, that would make it easily procurable,1 and it can be had at any store where medicines are handled. v Mbs.

A live frog that crawled and clawed and croaked, lived for near­ ly a year in the stomach of Mrs. L. Y. King, .of Deanwood, near Washington,. D. C. After reducing the woman to a living skeleton the frog was finally extracted by physicianB of the Emergency hospital with a large pnmp. The frog is now preserved in al­ cohol. It measnres, all told, about seven inches. As a tadpole it was swallowed by Mrs. King in well water last August. Weeks passed before the woman realized there was some living creature in her stomach. She consulted doctors, but they laugh­ ed at her. Last spring the frog, now reach­ ing to its full growth,- began to climb into her throat and nearly suffocated her, an I several times she fainted with pain. Two months ago, Mrs. King de •lares the frog began to croak. She distinctly heard it many times and her relatives bear her out. She came to_the Emergency hospital Washington and the Irogwas pump ed out of its hiding place. The frog lived ten minutes in a tub of water. It looked and sang just like any “regular irog.” Then It died. According to physicians this is the first time on record that any creature of the proportion of this frog has ever lived in a human stomach forthepericd of 11 months. If you are a housewife you cannot reas­ onably hope to be healthy or beautiful by washing dishes, sweeping and doing housework all day, and crawling into bed dead tired at night. You must get out into the open air and sunlight. If you do this every day and keep your stomach and bowels in good order by takingCham- berlain’s Tablets when needed vou should become both healthy and beautiful. For sale by all dealers.

Not once in the past quarter of a cen­ tury have they gained the, State and sent delegates to the electoral college. Therefore it is essential to first win the counties and State/ and no.t until then is it worth the while to wrestle with the Presiden tial problems. A party that can­ not carry its own State and a com­ parative few of the counties is very foolish to wrangle over a possible national difference of choice in men and thus weaken rather than in­ crease the effort of overcoming the enemy at home. “Missionery work should begin at home” is as appli­ cable to polities as it is to religion. Capture your respective county and then the State, fellow Eepubr lieans, rind then you will have, ac complished results and with it an opportunity to take an active hand in the national struggle; Organize atonce and begin to work and by a united effort Eepublicans may be able to wrest the State from Demo­ cracy and then there will be real cause for rejoicing. For Io these many years, the choice of a Presi­ dent has not been aided Jby what North Carolina Eepublicans have done, for they have been in the minority,and will continue to be, if. fry the difference of opinion, nationally, Eepublicans are loosen enfed from their moorings and "thus give the Democrats An increased in ­ stead of a decreased majority/ Let Eepublicans put Shoulder to shoul­ der and work with a united purr pose to win and by so doing over­ come all obstacles ~ and \achieve a glorious victory at the ballot box in: November in every county Iin North Carolina-and that will mean the State redeemed.—Union !Re­ publican. A Review of the Situation., The nomination of Woodrow Wilson clears the Situationetseye ral points. It is another triumph foisthe Bryan section of the Deme cratic party, and thus will be Ofr- jectiqnable to a large portion of the conservative element. Col. Roosevelt’s Progressive party .will be deprived of an accession of JDe* mocrats which it , would have re* ceived if the candidacy had gpne to Harmon. Underwood or Clark. Wilson’s ability to carry New York under existing conditions i6 decidedly doubtful. U util close to the end of the balloting New Yorks delegation refused to go tofrim. His radicalism is Of1 a brarid which will hardly be acceptable to the: State, with its conservative traditions, and its hostility to.ariy policy cal­ culated to disturb general trade. It is well known that Vi ilson jump­ ed from the presidency of a .. uni­ versity into the governorship .of one of the important states. TwiO years later he is nominated for President by one of the great par­ ties, after one of the-riiost exciting conventions which that party has held since the gathering at Charles ton in i860 which resulted in a rupture in its ranks which aided in giving the Republicans control of the country. These are - the obvious features of this career. There are some points, however, in Mb record which are overlooked, but which are important enough to recall now. He obtained the nomination for governor in 1910, a year,in which the Republicans of the country were apathetic as well as discordant, His Republican opponent in that year was one of the weakest men who- could, haye been selected by any Republican gathering. Any respectable Dem­ ocrat could have carried New Jer­ sey under those conditions. Yet in the election for the Legislature in 1911, in which Wilson was direct­ ly interested,, and in which he made a canvass of the State, he was defeated. The Republicans control the Legislature at this mo­ ment. These are facts jvfrich are of decided interest just now, Jri nominating Wilson the Democrats followed trip line of least resistance. While Bryari was really-, workingJ lor his own nomination rather than that of Wilson, the nominee- fre longs to the Bryan ingredient Vof the party,' which controlled the conventions of 1896,1900 and 1908. It is the stronger Seqtion of the party, but, ari the record o f' those, years shows, it is not strong enough to elect: a president, WilSon’s de­ cent shift toward radicalism of the most Vadical sort will undoubtedly carry many conservative Demo­ crats over to the Republican side, and aid in the election of Taft. In this respect Jh e . history of 1896 when Wilson’s Sponsof- was first nominated, is likely to be repeat­ ed.; Providence is still on the side of the Republican:' party.—Uriion Repubiican Inseci Bite Costs Leg.

THE PEOPLE'S RIGHTS MAINTAIN; UNAWED BY INFLUENCE AND UNBRIBED BY'GAIN.” VOLUME XIV.M0CKSV1LLE. NORTH CAROLMAiiWEDNESDAY. JULY 31. 1912.NUMBER 4 NoNewPartyh State. Oharlotte News. Colouel Roosevelt's progressive ty ,yin uot be recognized in !forth Carolina this year, the mem­ bers of this party will have no re- nerseutative on the state board of elections uor on the county boards of election, nor yet by Judges or clerks at the various polling plaees through the counties of the com- juoutrealth of North Carolina, ac­ cording to the statute law. The North Carolina statute spe- ciBes that a party within the mean- iug of the act of the legislature dealing with elections held within the state shall mean “ every politi­ cal party of.organization whose candidate for ,governor received as many as 50,000 votes m the el­ ection held August 2, one thousand niue hundred.” As a matter of fact the progres­ sive party did not exist in 1900, did not have a candidate for gov ernor, polled not a single vote and therefore is not a paily, within the meaning of the statute. The governor appoints the state board of elections which in turn appoints the county election boards for the various counties of the state. The law provides that the governor shall appoint not more than three members of this state hoard of five from the same party and it has been the custom of the governor to appoint three Demo­ crats and two Republicans and in turn name two Democratic and one Itepublican members of the several county boards of election. TbeD these county boards select the judaei and clerks for the var­ ious polling places within the eouaty. With two ‘members of these boards Democrats and one regular Republican, it is easy to understand that the p:ogressive party will have no representation. Butthereisno way to prevent the counting of votes cast for pro­ gressive party electors in the state, wherever they are counted, al­ though the blank for such returns sent to the vaiious county canvass­ ing boards, will not carry the names of the' RooBevelt electors. The law provides that “ The board of county canvassers at their meet­ ing, in the presence of such electois as choose to attend, shall open and judicially determine the returns, stating the number of legal ballots east in each precinct for erch offic­ er, the name of each person voted for aod the number of votes given to each person for each, different office, and shall sign the same,” BolTs Revisal 4350. The Republican organization Tn North Carolina is regular and will stand in the Chicago platform and therefore will support President Taft,” so a leading Republican tells the Charlotte News. 'H e was ^ Taft delegate to the state Repub­ lican convention which met in Ral­ egh.

Carl Duncan are both for President Taft and a can vass of the present state Republican committee” shows a majority of four, in favor of Pre­ sident Taft, according to a poll made by Marion Butler at the meeting of the Roosevelt men at Greensboro last week. “The Repoblican members of fi>e state board of elections, Messrs Gall and Freeman, are both sup- Pwiem of President Taft, and it is a dead moral certainty to my mind that the. Republican members ^of ery of the state so far as the Re­ publican party is concerned is in the hands of the friends and suo porters of President Taft, : “ Another peculiar feature o f this situation is that when the state Republican convention meets in Charlotte about the middle of August (I am informed that Au­ gust 14 is about decided upon,) the progressives will then no long­ er be members of the Republican party and will therefore have no voice in the deliberations of the convention which will nominate candidates for the state offices, any more than Democrats would have. tlN ow I want to call your atten­ tion to the ntter absurdity of the resolutions adopted at the recent Greensboro meeting. T h e first section was practically as follows: “ Resolved: First—that all vot­ ers must say who they want, Taft or Roosevelt, and that we will a- bide by their decision. “ Resolved: Second—that the election must be pledged to Roose­ velt.” “ You see that the first section pledges them to abide by the. de­ cision of the Republican voters, and the second pledges the electors to Roosevelt, no matter what the decision of the voters might be. , “ If Colonel Roosevelt were to die tomorrow the y rogressive party would cease to exist as they stand for a man rather than a principle. They thiuk of Roosevelt as a Na poleon and fail to remember Aaron Burr, in whose career many see a parallel to that oi the present lea der of -the progressives. “ If Roosevelt was for a progres­ sive candidate for governor- firBfr and for Colonel Roosevelt second, he would have agreed to the candi­ dacy of Governor Herbert Hadley of the state of Missouri at a time in the Chicago convention when Had­ ley could have been nominated and Taft defeated. But tbat was not Roosevelt’s idea. It was to secure the nomination for Roosevelt, no matter by what means. ‘The Chicago ‘machine’ was the machine he had created and used four years and it is laughable .that a man who could ‘take’ the Pana iua canal zone, should violently protest at the “ appropriation” of 72 delegates and especially after he had tried to take unlawfully200 delegates for his own candidacy. “ There are many in North Caro­ lina who are hiding behind the Republican party organization and are knifing the regular candidate from that position. It is refresh­ ing to see men like Col. - W. S. Pearson, a Roosevelt leader, stand in open and voice his honest pro­ gressive conviction, and make the fight for his candidate fairly and squarely. . “ This brings us to a discussion of the reports of resignations of various county chairmen in the state who:are known to be Roose velt men. As such they can not remain chairman of the county committees as I see it, and as understand the matter they would have no desire to- continue at the head of the organization the very nature of which is opposed to their candidate arid their party. is ontitled will be from the Thft for C6i) or rather more accurately 8Psaking1 the .regular Republican partJ.

Albermarle, July 16,—One oi the most awful ghost BtorieB ever heard in this section, is today real- ly being told as an- absolute fact. The story is one which- makes _one shudder and imagine himself liv­ ing in the days of >. Maobeth and Hamlet, and would make the great Sbakespeare take a back seat and bring I)oe to 6hame. The story is that of a terrible ex­ perience of two young men named Fiuk and .Lowder who reside six miles from here near Millingport. The story is told by these twoyoung men themselves as a positive fact and as an actual experience, and aa,heard by your correspondent is substantially as follows: On last Sunday night Messrs. Fink andv Lowder both called on their sweethearts who were sisters. They stayed until about 11 o’clock when Mr. Lowderhitched up his horse and started home, leaving Mr. Fink still at the home of the two siBter sweethearts. As Boon as Mr. Lowder drove out into the road there appeared beside his buggy a large, massive white ob­ ject, f Mr. Lowder says the object did not • then frighten him, but that he tried to drive away from it. but that it kept just beside him. Becoming very much worried he turned and drove back to the home o f his sweetheart and told his ex­ perience and asked oneof the bro­ thers of his sweetheart to accom pany him to his home, but as the brother refused he again started on his way when the large white object again'presented itself imme­ diately beside his buggy and like Banquo’s ghost would “ not down.t? :Mr. LowderrsayB that seeing .he could nofcescape the object, in his extremity he spoke to the object and asked it who it was and what Unwanted. Then it was be says that the object turned into, some­ thing of the shape of a large drum, and answered: “I am the ghost of Miss , whp died 4 years ago.” Mr. Lowder says that upon making this statement the object simultan­ eously became the likeness of a cer tain young girl who died in the community four years ago, and whom he knew well.. He says,She talked with him and told him Ujany things, but made him . vow never to tell any person what she had talked to him about,, except hesays she told him he could con­ fer with his friend, Mr. Fink, who was still at the home of his sweet heart. Mr. Lowder says after having talked with him for some time the young woman’s ghost asked him for- ^handkerchief, that he gave h^r his handkerchief and that she pfessed-it between her hands and it immediately caught on fire and went up as the ghost disappeared. When Mr. Fink started home ho says he had exactly the same ex perience with the same dpad girl’s ghost. Both young men refuse to divulge the subject of conversation which they had with the spirit, and they both refuse to give the name of the dead young' woman whose ghost they say it was. They have-conferred with , each Others but say that the spirit will never allow them to tell any thing that she said to them except as told a- boye. The young men are said to be well liked and truthful, and it is said that they are neither super­ stitious.

FOR VICE-PRESIDENT: JAMES SCHOOLCRAFT SHERMAN FOR GOVERNOR: DR. CYRUS THOMPSON Where is the man, who, a few short weeks ago, was howling for a little warm weather? Our friends didn’t give vis a square deal on the blackberry proposition, but they can make amends by sup­ plying us with watermelons. Woodrow Wilson cannot receive svfficient votes to get a majority in the electoral college The only way he can ever be president is by Con­ gress appointing him. J. W. Kimbrough, who announces himself for Register, is going to make a strong fight fof the nomi­ nation. He is gaining strength in all parts of the county. Joe would make a good officer, and his friends .would be glad to see him nominated and elected. Quite a number of prominent De­ mocrats are out in long interviews, promising that they will support Wilson for president. This seems to give our local Democrats much en­ couragement, for it seems that they thought the whole push had gone over to the Republicans. The Farmers’ Union picnic held at Clement Grove Thursday, was a big success in every way. A big crowd were present, the dinner was one long to be remembered, and speeches were of a high order, lack of space we cannot give picnic justice in today's prper, the For this but will try to give a condensed write up in our next issue. It would seem from present indi­ cations that we are going to secure a morning train to Charlotte, but do not hold your breath until it arrives. It is proposed to change the sche­ dule of No. 27, which now leaves Winston at 2:35 p. m., and have it leave that city at 6:40 a. m., making connection at Barber Junction with No. 11, westbound, and No. 36, east- bound. Itisproposedto leave the schedules of the other trains as they are now. The business men of Win­ ston are asking for this change, and if it will help that city, we will get the morning train, for the Superin­ tendent of this division lives there, A letter from one of Winston’s most prominent business men to The Re­ cord leads us to believe that it will be but a few weeks at mo3t until we can boast a morning train to Char­ lotte. For five years we have been begging for this train, and we trust that our hopes are about to be re­ alized at last. No Longer Republicans. In this campaign Theodore Boose velt is no more Republican than Woodrow Wilson is. Mr. Roote- velt has parted company, formally and probably forever; from the EepubIican organization, with its legal designation, its emblems, ils ballots, its VotiQg1Inechauiam. He has left the Republican party for his own reasons and on his own account; and he is accompanied by a small but interesting band of personal adherents who hope to bujl moose themselves into politi- cal’ prominenee, business ad van t- ag^or satiation of vindictiveness,, as the case mjay be. Nothing in the present affairs of this or an? other planet 'is plainer' to sight than the fact of the complete sep­ aration of Mr; Roosevelt and his following from the Bepublicaa ■party.—New York Sun,' Letter, From Oregon.

I always look forward to,Mon­ day morning with pleasant anticipa­ tions, for then I receive The Record and do nothing else until I read ev­ery word of it, sdyertisements and all. Itseemslike getting a lettsr from home. I enjoy reading The Record very much,- especially those letters from the ‘‘home-sick” Tar­ heels in the west. I know how they feel for “I’ve been there.”Mr. Editor, do you know that homesickness is about the worst sickness in this old worl I. Why I have seen the time wht n I would have hugged and kissed a North Carolina dog. Tbatiswhy you re­ ceive those mournful letters from the West, not because it is not a good country. I wish I could make you see this country, the Grande Ronde Valley; Ourvalley is about thirty miles long and eighteen miles wide, and as level as a "floor Iti is an old lake bottom.; It is surround­ed by"the Blue mountains. Thereis no telling how deep the soil is. I have never seen any one dig through it. You may dig wells but you do not get through the soil. I can show you land that ha£ been farmed for iorty years without either manure or other fertilizer that will produce 40 to 50 bushels of wheat per 'acre this year. The crops grown here are wheat, oats, barley, rye, alfalfa and other hay crops, apples, peach­ es. pears, plums, prunes, cherries, all kinds of berries, especially straw­ berries in great quantities, Irish po­ tatoes and Qther vegetables and a little corn. 1This is not c o h e re d a corn country, I think, because small grains pay so much better, Land sells for from one hundred to one thousand dollars per acre it) the val­ ley, according to location. If you wish to buy land, bring some money with you. I sold two hundred acres of mountain grazing land worth a- bout twentyLdollars per acre, and one hundred acres of valley farming land for twelve thousand, five hund­ red dollars, and I know now that\ I got gloriously cheated. Of course you could not expect anything: else trom a school teacher. I have taught in this valley every-year since ithe autumn of 1890.' Most of the time in the country schools, but I taught three years in the La Grande High School, Nodistrict is allowed j to have less than six months school ^or pay Ieso than three huhdred dollars per year for teacher’s salary. Near­ ly all the districts have nine months school and payrfrom;sixty to one hundred dollars per-month. The superintendent of tne schools of: a town the .size of Mocksville receives from twelve toTfifteen hundred dol­ lars per year.,. I receive one hund­ red dollars per month for teaching a village school. AU our schools are graded. AU healthy children under fourteen years of age;'and who have npt passedHthe eighth grade exami­ nation must attend some standard school every day the public schools are in session-unless; excused by the teacher for a day of two for ..some satisfactory cajise. Pupils whose parents are tob? poor to purchase books or clothing will ' have those thiiigs furnished them by tjie dis trict. The village in which I teach furnish all school supplies for nch and poor alike; AU pupils who pass the eighth grade examination are permitted to enter any high school in the State free jof charge, and all pupils who graduaseifrom the 12th grade Of thie high schools are %^r- mitted to enter any Sfcte college-sor university of the State free of charge.

Some of the time really ill P Catch cold easily and frequently suffer from biliooMMM or headache? Thie reason is that your system does not rid itself of the poiwa% in tbe falood; just as impossible as it is for the grate of a stove to rid itself ol clinkers. The waste does to us exactly what the clinkers do to the stove; make the fires burn low until enough clinkers have accumulated and then prevent- its burning at all. Your liver is sluggish—you are dull and heavy—sleep does not rest, nor is food appetizing. In this condition illness develops.

No matter how strong the constitution the stomach is-apt to be “ out of kilter ” at times; in conse­ quence the blood is disordered, for the stomach is the labo­ ratory for the constant manufacture of blood.

Oftentimes a man doesn’t do as well at his own occupation as he ougbt to—thinks he has made misfit and believes he can better himself, Hereare a few sugges­ tions for any one tbuB dissatisfied from the thirteenth United States census: There is a snake merchant who has a ranch out in Texas and has for more than I years made a busi­ ness of handling snakes. In one year he sold over 150.000 rattlers and blacksnakes, getting from a quarter to“$2 each. . He found his market in zoological parks, the side shows oi circuses and medical colleges and among scientists. Formerly all the parts of a shoe were made by a shoemaker; today this industry employs judges, fa kirs, plough'ers, sluggers, busters- out, cripple chasers and pancake makers all engaged, one way or another, in thp making of shoes or parts of shoes , Another man seems to be iu a class by himsell. Out in the Kan­ sas City he bottles the smoke . of hickory logs. He says that when it is let loose in an airtight com­ partments where meat has been hung it will produce the same re­ sults as though the meat had been cured in an oldiaBhioned smoke house. There is a man out Seattle way whose business it is to secure the moustaches from walrus killed in Bering Strait. ThesestoutbriBtles are plucked from the nose of the walrus by Indians, tied into small bundles and told by the Seattle citizen (who made $1,000 by this traffi i in 1911) to agents on the Pacific coast, The agents ship them to China where they are in demand as toothpicks. In an aged boll walrus the bristles are about a foot long and nearly as thick as a lead pencil. They are tough, and when made into picks can be push ed between the teeth without in­ jury to the enamel. Then there are also the wbittler and the pouncer in a hat factory; a dock walloper is a kind of long­ shoreman, a vibrator works in a clock factory; a tonger works in connection ,with oys( ers; a teaser works in a glass factory. During the summer months mothers of young children should watch for any un­ natural looseness of the bowels. When given prompt attention at this time ser­ ious trouble may be avoided.

If you are a housewife you cannot reas­ onably hope to be healthy or beautiful by washing dishes, sweeping and doing housework all day, and crawling into bed dead tired at night.
