He wasn’t home, but bis wife axed ine to drop in. uud bare a snack. I looked for a glass of buttermilk and a piece of boe cake, but vrhat’d ye s’pose #as spread befo' me on the tablet In de first place, dar was a white ta- bleclo'.hvdat must have cost $1.50. I’s been keepin’ house ior forty years, uud I bas always reckoned dat oilcloth was good ’nuff for. me. “Deo dar was silver knives and forts and spoons, same as you’d had oa de table ot a king. After dem came napkins and cake and custard and cold beef aod sweet cake, and befo* I could git my breath I was ottered a glass "of claret wiue! "Kin you blame me for pinchin iuyself to see if I was dar or sumers else? '1Dar aui Brodder JoneB workin’ in a wood yard at $9 a week, and dar was all flat luxury, same as if lie was de Emperor of Russia. I haind wantm’ to discourage any body, but I’m tellin’ you dat a crash will come in de Jones fam’iy sooner oi later, and when it does comedat fam’ly will drop to the bottom like a grindstun thrown in to de sea. “A few nights ago me and the ole woman was invited to attend a birthday party of de wife of Sam- iel Shin. We went becanee it was hinted dat dar would be ginger ale ood fried cakes for refreshments, ile had on de same Sunday cloe had had for de last- fo’teen years, and we had no sooner - got ■oto de house dan de old woman flIgb had a fit. ■ Mrs. Shin had-on a dress all ickshaws and frills and furbel- ows—a diess dat never cost less 1 on $iu ;md do rest_of de women denied to be dressed up to attend a queen’s weddin’.

It was a rag wid a great tiger on it. I axed for a drink of water out of de goard but it was bruugto me in a glass goblet. When I was ready to go Mrs. Be- bee axed jne to wait a minit till she played & tune on - her pianuer. Think of it! Brudder Bebee don't aim $10 a week de year around, and yet ha can have tiger, rugs, cut glaBs and pianners! When I went home and told the old wofnan about it she opened her mouth and held it open for ten minutes befo’ she could say: “ ’May the Lord have mercy on m ysoull’ “ He street dat many of us lib on is named Goon Street. , I has re sided dar for 20 years and had no fault to find.

He didn’t see me and - Jw went ahead and ordered the best of tea and coffee, print butter, fine flour and white sugar, same as if he was a member of the Beait trust. He payed ior them- and swelled out and when he had disappeared de grocer said to me: “ 'Keep'your eye ou that coon, Brudder Gardner. He’s bound to hit de ground wid a kercbug dat will be heard two miles.’ ‘ ‘Me and de ole woman was soun aBleep a few nights ago when sum- body rapped on de doah. I didn’t git up till I saw the pusson would not go away, and den I went out to find Gol. Ganbiff on de doah step. He had on a plug hat; he had on patent leather shoes; he had on a frock coat; he had on a 75 cent-pair socks and a red neck tie, aud his diamond pin nebber cost less than two dollars. Why did he rout me out of bed at dat hour of de night? His rent was behind, and he wanted me to see the-landlord about it!

A gentle man, noting, the discomfixture of the hungry man, laid a soothing hand on his shoulder and remarked: My<friend, let me tell you some thing; you may think that piece of ham is thin, but you just wait until you get to Charlotte and ask for a ham sandwich and see what you get. Why, sir, takemy Word for it, they have a machine by which they pho tographs piece of ham on the bread und hand it to you for a dime.” fHE DAVIE COUNTY INSTITUTE.- * ■ / ■ - - Potato Seeds. Plenty of folks do not know that the seed of the potato is not the tu ber or root which we eat. Potatoes flower and bear a littte seed in a pod or ball. To get a new breed we have to plant the seed, not the "eye ’ And here again you find a case where genus does not reproduce itself. The "eye” will give you the same sort of potato, but the seed harks back to a former ancestor and may give you something totally different.—Yadkin Farmer. Wilson Niff tbe Democratic Choice.

' tfIH Held In This City, on Monday jAugiut 12.—AU Farmer* And ■*>-■ TheirFamiliesInTited. — I Dear Sir:—I will thank you if you! will call the attention of ^your readers to the Farmers’ Institute to be held in Mocksville, on Mon day*,. August 12th, and urge them to attend. We are wanting our in- 8titutes, this summer, to be tl e best attended of any we have had,1 and; to have them so it will be ne cessary, for us to have the co-oper- aticp of every person who desires to.spe our agricultural and home- on-the-farm conditions- improved. Norjth Carolina, as you know, is on tbejup grade in agriculture as well as other lines. It iB a State of woriderful possibilities and we want to do all that we can to develop it as rapidly as possible. IknoW of no better way than by improving oar agricultural and rural condit ions generally. PieaBe call special- attention to the .Women’s Iustitute features of these meetings and urge the wo-| mBn living on the farm to attend .them. I regard the women’s in stitutes of more importance - than the institutes held for men. I want the. women to realize their import ance, and also to-realize the im portant position they hold in the economy of farm life. Their lines of work are ot far more important e thah making corn or cotton, or any lineofagricultural endeavor. Their work is the building of the home and; the rearing of the family. M e waqt them equipped for. this very important work'. ' As an inducement to get them to come out we are offering a pre mium of $1 for the best loaf ot bre$d baked and exhibited by any woman or girl living on the farm. -7Town women cannot compete for- this prize. We wabt to eoeoarago thecountry women. The follow ing ^conditions are to be observed: The exhibitor may use any kind of yea$t she prefers, but salt rising bread will not be given a prem ium. Not that it is not good bread, but’we want to get our women in the habit of making bread easier than by the salt rising process. Thsft process is too slow, laborious and! uncertain. The following score card will be use^ In judging bread: Flavor, 35 points; crust, color depth, texture, 20 jpolnte; lightness, 15 points; grain and texture, io points; crumb color, moisture, 10 points; shape andi size, 10 points. Size recom mended: 7|x3lx2f inches. This size is not obligatory.. -> By giving this matter promi nence in j oar paper you: will great ly oblige.- Yours truly, T. B.

LayingByOrops- Southern RumlisL The time was when the Sonthern farmer who could lay-by his crop! of corn QECQtton w ith-the fewest plowinge-^-least cultivation^-was the best fellow. Evensnow -early laying-by is a matter on whieh many farmers pride !themselves: These are the farmers who have ] most time foregoing fishing and at- 1 tending barbscues. They are not the farmers whoBe corn cribs are fullest or who make the most bales per plow. Indeed, the best farm ers have about stopped talking about “ bales per plow,” and now make “bales per acre.’’ These facts are becoming gener ally recognized and the- truths on which they rest are becoming part of common practice- A t this seas on of the year, however, it is well to recalLsome of the principles in volved. Even the faith of the most devont believer is-the better for occasional revival. So we do not hesitate to repeat the facts—al ways important whether old oronew — bearing upon the^lais ing by of crops. The belief, once so prevalent, that early laying by -was an ad vantage to the crop, was not origi nally WhlOllywrong.: It ' was the result of jhc implements of eulti vation formerly in nse and the Kind of wprk .they > actually per formed. 5The Dixie plow -is re sponsible for this as fop so many other errors. . , Unquestionably, a crop o f: corn is often injured by late.cultivation- which this obsolete and inexcas- atffe implement. W ith ^moderate Iy moist season the surface soil is filled with .fine feeding roots. Any implement which turns- a • furrow,- cuts or tears through the soil more; than two inehes deep will ruin :* a large part of these essential roots. The ciop begins lo vilt, Btops growth, and is irretrievably-dam aged by this kind of plowing. The only prevention is to Btop working the crop—early laying by. The fact to bear in mind is that the fault in such cases is not w ith late cultivation, but with the kind of cultivation. The next important point is that if cultivation is good, much culti vation is better. Therefore, late cultivation is,best, Itis- best .be cause it gives the crop longer bene! lit of a good thing, - AU this, however, depends: on the right kind of cultivation. The kind of work is not wholly depend! ent on the kind of Implement used : It is possible to do good work with poor tools,, but good tools .-render good results more certain and much more easily secured, ^ ; The sweep and Dixie stock wiU sometimes do as good work-as> any cultivator. Even then-, however, it is bard on team and workman, while, if soil is too hard or . too moist, bad results areysure. ,For really satisfactory-, results, there fore, late laying by requires a real implement of tillage-—some form of toothed or regnlatable :-dise calti Vrttor. I t must be kept in mind that kUling grass is not the: object of cultivation: Conservation of soil moisture is the all important thing, shallow.:-aud frequent cultivation is the means. The result is the dnBt mulch which prevents evapo ration of-water and keepsthecropsJ growing in even the driest- stoson, IfMhis Work is done ^ often as the surface soil crusts over, grass and weeds never get » fetart and plow I og for the pdrpose of killing them by burying al?ve^ The application1 of s-tbSSe*:.Sacts means that the tin ^ for laying-by is not after the proverbial “ three plowings” or any - other definite number of cultivations. The time to lay-by is when* the, crop has reached full development-r-can not be induced to grow any more—or ]vrben lt-hasstfTBomjletely eoveied the ground that a team cannot pass through the row s without serious These points are as thoroughly established in good practice as is . the law of gravitation: cultivation manure; shallow cultivation, of growing- crops'keeps them growing; late laying by means lietter yields. How It Feals To Be Struck By Ligfatningx The Monroe Journal prints the following description by MissRuby Cook of her feelings when struck by lightning: •' “ We were all in the room sifting peacefully. I was sitting on a trunk and I said to myself, 'I had better * get up or lightning might strike me.’ As I went to get up the light* . ning struck me. When it bit -me . my feeling was so strong.' that. I can’t describe it.: I shut m y: eyeis T and remember falling, but I don’t— know when I -reached the. floor. The last thing I heard _ was. the screams of those-in the-room. I could not speak or move but I can remember that I thought that I , would have to die and leave the : world. Then my mouth opened - three timeB, my body grew rigid: I seemed to be in heaven where ev- ■ erythiDg was bright and shining. That is all I remember till by and by I heard some one say something and I could open my eyes.” When this child was hit by the. , lightaingahe Was jsittiag with her j back against the wall of the house. Thqt is something that should nev er be done in times of electric storms. Alniost every case itt, ,. which one has been. hit was- one where that person was standing a- gairist or Ieaning- against some thing, When the lightning strikes— toe top or upper part of the bouse it Beeks to get to the ground- by traveling down the walls, hence. when one is leaning against.a wall or a tree, the lightning is apt to be transferred to his body. There- fore, do not lean against objects during a storm. Mother arid Child Deserted. Wadesboro Ansonian. A pitifal sightat the National Hotel Friday night was a little 18- year-old mother and baby, penni- IesB, sick; aud deserted by the hus band and father. They arrived here from the western part of .the State without a cent of money. Finding her in this condition -a t, the station, Fred Mills told the , lariy that be would carry her to the National Hotel. There sh e . was taken care of bv Mr. - Mills without charge, and when be let fier'condition be-known, a number of the boarders and others chipped In 25 and 50' cent pieces until a sufficient amount was raised to buy a ticket to Darlington, 8 O., where the woman has a sister. * ~ It was a sad case, for the. little mother was on her way to the hos- • pital. where she will undergo an operation: for appendicitis. She married at the age of 14, and Ja now deserted by the man who promised to love and protect her, [The husband should be arrest-, ed and placed on the chain gang, and bis wages turned over to hi3 wife.

Good citizens of the county come to us almost daily and commend us for trying to get public sentiment in favor of a dog Jaw, and ask us to continue the good work. There are others who are bitterly opposed to any law that will put a tax on 'their dogs or restrain the liberties of the dogs. We have lost quite a number of subscribers on account of the stand we have taken on this ques tion. We are sorry to lose our sub scribers, but we believe that time will prove to therfi that we were right and they were wrong. We favor a tax of $2 on every male dog and $5 on everp female dog in Davie county, and we will support any man for office, regardless of party, who favors and will work for the enactment of such a law. Suppose every dog in this county was thus taxed, and the money turned into the school fund? Everypublicschool in Davie covnty could be run for six months in the year,'and the child ren of the county would be greatly benefitted thereby. We shall not get mad and cuss out all who do not agree with us, for evtry man hi s, the right to think and vote as his own conscience dictates. The col umns of The Record are open to any and all who care to d sc-jss this dog question, either for or against. Both sides will be treated fairly. Cruelty to Animals. The Record office is located just across the street from the Commer cial Hotel. Nothing strange about that, but here is where the trouble comes in. Just about 11 o’clock, when we are very weak and worn out from toiling since early mom on a half-empty stomach, there is waft ed across on the noonday afr the delicious aroma of sweet old coun try ham, tender spring chicken and peach pie browning in the oven. Sometimes the temptation is almost more than we can bear. We wish to appeal to the city fathers or the next legislature for an injunction to prevent toese delicious odors pene-> trating our sanctum. To let it con tinue would indeed be what we term cruelty to animals. It is not right that a hungry editor should be call ed upon to undergo such a tempta tion daily, and we believe the good people of the town will concur in our opinion. Something must be done, and done quickly, . Mocksville’s Enterprises. Despitethefactthat Moeksville is a small town, yet she has a number of fac tories and buildings that any town couid well be proud of. -Among her factories is a chair factory, which turns out good chairs of various kinds; a furniture fac tory which manufactures a tine of high- grade furniture; a veneering mill which also turns out porch columns; two flour mills whose flour cannot be beat; two cotton gins; two lumber mills and a brick plant. Wehave one of the prettiest court houses m the State, a first-class buiglar proof jail, a handsome Masonic temple a fine graded school building, handsome churches and homes, two hotels; two liv ery stables, a good strong banking house two newspapers,-two hardware stores, one drug store, a 5 and 10 cent store, two meat markets, two restaurants, two millinery shops, a dozen dry goods and gro cery stores, with four new ones in course of erection, a few lawyers and two doc tors, about twelve hundred good people a lot of the best looking girls in the world’ a few old maids and a telephone ex change, three retired men and thirteen strectjoafers whose names will be pub lishecl in due season.

The men who do a town more harm than good may be classed as follows: First, those who oppose improvements. Second, those who run it down to strangers, Thmlj those who never advertise their business. Fourth, those who dis t r u s t public spirited men. Fifth, these who show no hospitality to any one. Sixth, those who hate to see others make money. Seventh, those who oppose every movement that doesn’t originate with them selves. Eighth, those who put on long faces when a stranger speaks of locating in onr town. Ninth, those who oppose every public, en terprise, which does not appear of personal benefit to themselves.— Exchange. Indian Killed on Track.

Mr. Editor: I wish to say a few words in regard to the conditions in the Presidential contest.: I do not presume to be able to discuss the subject in a-statesmanlike man ner, but I shall try to given reas onable common sense view of the political conditions as I see them. To come to matters of recent events let us consider the reasons why Col. Roosevelt should not be again elected President. In the first place the third term idea: is con trary to the genius of American in stitutions and I believe would be a- dangerous precedent to establish aB a third term opens the way to a tourt-h and bo on until a perpetual dictatorship might be established on the ruins of a free government. Then Col. Roosevelt had said that be would again under no circum stances become ri candidate. Then .why is he? He has had all the honor that the office- of President can bring him, then is it possible that he would be a dictator? hope not, but we do not know what au ambitious man may do! It if the. first wrong step that costs and. to nse an old adage, stitch in time saves nine,” there fore it appears to be a time when all American citizens should repu diate the third term idea finally by opposing the third term candidate for President. - Trie charge has been made by the third term people that Presi ueut Taft was. nominated by traud. Now let us see what some of our prominent men who are in a posit ion to know have to say about the matter. Senator Cummins of Iowa, says that he will not join the third par ty and that we cannot escape boss: es by organizing a new party. He further says that individual fraud or even fraud committed by a com mifcteeis not sufficient cause for the forming of a new party. As Senator Cummins, one of the first men oi the nation has said that there will be bosses in any party, I will add that even if we admit, (which we .do not)'that the action of the Republican National committee was wroDg, then to car ry the third party movement to its final analysis by disrupting and destroying the Republican party would seem to be about as sensible and reasonable as would be a pro position to discredit the Christian Religion, for the simple reason that all men cannot understand its teaching in the same manner, or that perhaps some bad men belong to the church. Mr. Capers, National Committee man from South Carolina at the Ohicago convention and a Roose velt adherent says that there was nothing done by the committee at the late convention different from the action of the Republican con vention four years ago as be was also one of that committee, and fnrther says that. Colonel Roose velt was present at that convention and assisted in securing the nomi nation ot President Taft by the same means, ■ However, I do not rne&n to sanction a fraud, but to try to show that Lhere was - little grounds ior such clia^es of fraud. ■ Senator LaFoIrettriiisays that ah the two hundred contests or nearly all were only flimsy pretexts for an excuse so that when corrected by the committee that as a last rtr sort the cry of fraud might be made. I quote from memory Sen at or LaFolIette’s statement, but may not have his exact words As Senator LaFollette is a man and a candidate for the Presidency presumably was in a position to know the truth about the action of the National committee, therefore it would appear that his state ment would lie sufficient to satis fy any reasonable, - unprejudiced man that the nomination of Presi dent Taft was regular and that he is entitled to the loyal support- of all true Republicans. Now with all due respect to my many Republican friends in North Carolina wbohavestood with me in many w political conteit, but who may now differ with me, T' have to say while I would not be egotistic but being one of the old est Republicars in Sampson conn- - fcy, (81 years old) and one of the charter members of the Republican party in Sampson connty, I most respectfully and earnestly appeal to,all men individually and collec-, tively to come together in'the re gular grand old Republican party and not allow us to be swept off of our bearing in this our greatest hour of peril by hastily adopting a policy of uncertainty,aud danger instead of one of certainty and safety. Now I hope to be heard for the cause of constitutional government and an independent judiciary and not so much for personal prefer ence. Very respectfully, . Clifto n W a u d. Clinton, N. C.

Hay in The SouUl We believe that the Southern farmer can do better with hay than he has ever done, and that he will find great profit in giving attention to this crop.- We were struck re cently with a map wherein the hay section was represented by dots. It was a surprise to hnd that the largestand blackest dots were in New England, and the few est and faintest were in the far Southern States. - In all the Southern States the development of the hay industry would prove profitable. In Ken tucky ,Tennessee, Virgiuia, North Carolina; South Carolina, Georgia and Mississippi much can be done by a Btudy of clover and alfalfa and grasses of every kind and character.

CYRUS THOMPSON Good roads, good crops, less dogs and more factories, is what we need in Davie county From what we can read, it doesn’t seem that there is much Democratic harmony running loose, in South Carolina. The man who buys all his goods from a mail order house is not miss ed when he dies. And the town never misses the merchant who don’t advertise. Simmons. Kitchin and Clark are not throwing bouquets at each other these days, neither does their great speeches savor of harmony in the Democratic party. - Some of the Democrats in Davie are getting uneasy. They say this is the wrong time to elect a Demo cratic president. But when the day of election comes around they will cast their vote for Woodrow. The Bull Moose party seems to be composed of a few sore-back Demo crats. pie-hunting Republicans and a smattering of women who are in favor of woman’s suffrage. B it few Republicans have joined the new party. Their platform is “we want a job ” BeforeTaft was nominated for President, the Democrats spent all their time cursing Roosevelt- To day they are boosting up Teddy and cussing out Taft. Thereis consola tion in the fact that the Democrats have never yet elected a Republican president, and it is not supposed that any great number of them will see the error of their way and re pent at this time. The Record doesn’t believe in one man holding office for life. We be lieve that any good man should be satisfied with two terms. The Re publican party would be taking rapid stride in the right direction should they incorporate such a plark in their platform. Itisnot fair to the party or to the voters for a few men to say who shall hold the offices and for how long. There are plenty of good, capable men in the Repub lican party who have never held an office. We believe in a fair deal to everybody. Holding office for life savors too much of the Kitchin fam ily, who have to be string-haltered and drug away from the pie count er. Let U3 take warning in time. Connect Forsyth and Davie. Winston Journal. We trust that Ibe county com missioners of Forsyth and Davie counties will be able to get togeth er on a satisfactory basis for the building of a budge across the Yadkin between the two counties The members of the board have decided to pay a visit to the pro posed site, across which a bridge stood .75 ygars ; ago, in company with Cijuuty Eqgiueer Spoon, and itntftadn& ihat the Davie comjikat missioners will niake it a point to nilet with them. It is said that the people of Davie county are much interested in this matter and will readily do their part toward the coDSlructiou of a $15,000 bridge. - A bale ot new c op cotton waB received at Savanrah : last week Jrom Dodge couuty, Ga.

The crowd began gathering soon after sun-up, and by the noon hour it was estimated that between ten and twelve thousand people were present. The excursion from Win ston arrived about 9:30, and was packed with picnicers, The trains from the south were also crowded, bringing many people from Salis bury, Mooresville, Charlotte and Statesvilleand intermediate points. Visitors were here from various sections of the State, and many from distant States. The exercises began at 10 o’clock, and the songs, recitations, etc., of the chapter of orphans from the Oxford Orphan age, was of a high order and very much enjoy ed by all who could secure seats under the arbor. At 11 a. in., Rev. Plato Durham de livered the annual address, which has been very highly compliment ed. At 12:30 dinner was announ ced, and such a dinner! Our fee b’.e hand and goose-qniil pen can not truthfully portray the bounte ous and rich repast that was serv ed the hungry minions of human ity, who had not enjoyed a square meal since the picnic a year ago, aud who will noi get another for a ear. At 2:30, Judge Jeter C. Pritchard, one of North Carolina’s greatest oiators and most brilliani sons, delivered an address, which needs no comment at our bandB. All who have had the privilege oi hearing Judge Pritchard once, never miss the opportunity of lis tening to him again. The music f >r the picnic was furushed by the Winston Cornet Band, whith is always enjoyed by those presen'. As side atliactions there was a inerry go round, a moving picture howr, several medicine venders, souveuir sellers, aud wa’eru.e'ou ■' agons, all of whom did a Iaod- IIice busiuess. The lawn party at night was enjoyed by a large number of young folks. There were over forty four hundred gate tickets sold, aud we understand that over $1,500 was realized from the picnic, which means over one thousand dollars cleaied for the Orphanage. We didn't see a man drunk during the entire day, and not an arrest was made. The pte nic was a success in everp way, the only uuDleasant thing being the dust, which was something fear iul. Itishopedthatbynextyear t ie town will be able to buy street sprinkler, which wo dd be u God-send on such an oc. asion. Space will not permit a more ex extended account of this happy asion, which has grown from year to year to such immense pri - portions, have reached its climax in the Roose velt convention in Chicago. The Associated Press report of the first day’s proceedings says that the prayer of Mr. Dornbrazer was fre quently interrupted by cries of “amen!” Thatisagoodold Metho dist custom and when the word is uttered reverently during a prayer it is right and proper. But when Mr. Dornblazer had been praying for more than 15 minutes, the report continues, “the delegates interrupt ed with applause and shouts of . a- men.” It is evident that the dele gates treated the minister’s prayer just as they would a political speech. It would hardly seem to be .the pro per thing to applaud a prayer, no matter how much one may approve; the sentiments expressed. If Rev. Mr. Dornblazer prayed for more than 15 minutes he deserved to be choked off, but proper respect for the Almighty, if not for the man en gaged in prayer, would have sug gested that the delegates treat the occasion with due respect, If pray ers are to.be treated as public ad dresses better leave them off the paogramme. The delegates at the Roosevelt convention are not the on ly sinners in this matter, but .their frivolity seems to have been a little .nore conspicuous—Statesville Land mark. A FEW LOCALS.

Itris proper and, right to open a convention or any; other public as semblage with prayer, provided you can sincerely ask God’s blessing on thework to be doue;-and provided further that vthe subsequent 'pro* ceedmgs dj/notrnake the prayer a mockery?Hirat the frivolity wh’ch often accompanies the prayers at political conventions, the lack of se rious and respectful, attitude when toe Throne of Grace.is addressed and the subsequent conduct of those on whose work God’s bier sing is ; in voked, causes one to feel that pray ers on such occasions are a mockery.

Chicago, Aug. 8.—CoL Theodore Roosevelt and Governor Johnsoi', of California, nominees of the new Progressive party for President aud Vice-President, departed for their homes today after seeing the Progressive national committee take first steps for opening of " the campaign. Governor Johnson, accompanied by several members of the Cali- f.ania delegation, departed for San Francisco tonight. He was in con ference with members of the nab ional committee until a half hour before his train started. United States Senator Joseph M. Dixon, of Montana, chairman of t ie Progressive national committee tonight said that the committee wouuld remain in ChicagolOr sev eral days to perfect' plans 'for tl e campaign. The plans thus far adopted em brace a scheme for five or more division bnreans in various paits if the country, each to be conduct e l by a vice chairman. The pro- p sition was placed befoie the committee by George W. Perkins, f New York. Originally Mr, Perkins’ motion named New York, ChicagovBoston, Atlanta and San Francisco as the locations for the division bureaus, This was elimi nated, however, and ' the matter was left to the executive commit tee which Chairman Dixon, was authorized to apjoict. Senator Dixon named George W. Perkins as chairman of tnis executi ve com mittee. Mr. Perkins will appoint a treasurer and other officers for the executive committee. This committee is provided for in the rules of the new party and consists of nine members who are not ne cessarily members of the national committee. There were many women dele gates to the Bull Moose convention and a few democrats. is their dirty te find bills of indict ment, regardless of persons.” For tbe benefit of those interested TheLqndmark will say this is no joke; the grand jury is very much in earnest, and if the folks who win silk hose, etc., in the games at j cietv functions, don’t want to face an indictment for gambling they had better “move back a piece from the road.” —Statesville Landmark, August 2nd.

Alas for that inky hope, which bids for a pod’s wreath the doctor forsake his dope, the dentist abandon teeth; the farmer desert his plow; the blacksmith neg lect his fire; the milkmaid abjure the cow, and reach for the nearest lyre.

An honest man can be ambit- ious and selfish but lie must put the Success of his party above personal devotion to office if he represents good government. These are com- mod facts. Everyoody knows that it is an established custom that any man who reaches the high office of president of the United Stages should have the nomination for a se cond term and any man of gocd judgment knows that wiien a Presi dent has opposition in his party for the second term that it causes dis order and strife, and usually defeat for the party. Mr. Roosevelt had no opposition for the nomination for asecond term and at the end of his second term, he said to the people oj the United States: I most heartily and sincerely re commend to you the wan n r hero and statesman. Hon. W. H. Taft and bespeak for him your hearty support and co-operation as Presi dent of these United States. Mr. Roosevelt at once went to the woods in Africa and not a single time did he offer to assist Mr. Taft in administering the affairs of gov ernment of the United Slates, but seemed to be laying in wait to take the reins of government in his own hands. _ Mr. Roosevelt knows he is a bril liant man and a shrewd politician and his success caused him to over estimate his power and popularity as many other big men have done. Roosevelt imagined that he could do things no other man had done, and with this in view he decided to take charge of Uncle Sam’s business for the third time Personal ambiiion without consid ering what a split it would cause .in his party—now listen voters! Any well informed business man knows that this United States is in a pros perous condition, banks flourishing, railroads doing an enormous busi ness, cotton mills and all other en terprises in a-prosperous business condition. The reports sent out from the DepartmrnCofAgriculture at Washington, show that- the farm ing interest of the country is in the best shape it has been since 1860. Now will some gentleman please come forward and prove that we need a third party. I am from Mis souri. TheDemocratsattheir Bal timore Convention charged that the Republican party was responsible for the high cost of living when the truth is that extravagence is the cause. A few rich people set the styles and fashions and poor people and well-to-do people strain them selves by trving to wear and spend as much as any one else, wearing dresses and hats to suit every season and men and boys ploughing and hauling in patent-leather shoes is all out of reason. People who use com mon sense and judgment, and are industrious and economical are loan ing money as a rule. Thiscpuntry has made progress in every material..wav »n the last four years. Then why should Mr. Roosevelt quit the Republican party and try to rum us with a third par ty. I voted for Mr. Roosevelteveiy time he ran but it was a pretty heavy dose, after he took nourish ment with Booker T. and put Dr. Crum, the negro collector, for four years on the people of Cnarleston, and then put Democrats in his Cab inet and others in office all over the South. He gave Hon. M. Gudger, of Asheville, Democrat, office of pay master General of the Navy. Then if Mr. Taft is a humbug, Roosevelt is the man who put him on us. "If you fool me once it is your fault, but if- you fool me twice it is mine.”. Mr. Taft has made us a good sound and sober president. It is true that North Carolina Republicans don’t Iikehis Connerappointment but if the leaders of the party in North Carolinawould have agreed either on Herbert Seawell or Harry Skin ner, Mr. Taft said he would have made the appointment. I don’t blame Taft for appointing Connor. The Republicans m 1896 endorsed Gonner for Supreme Court Judge and Connor was as good a friend as the Republican Sudgeshad when the North Carolina Legisla ture tried to impeach them. Taft said in the beginning, that he was going to take Federal Judgeships out of politics. Isn’t that right? don't take it as an insult, when I a De-Republican gives an office to a mdcrat. - . , , . „ -Democrats were appointed m Cen ter and Tyson townships as Census Enumerators when there were Re publicans who were just as capable and wanted the place, or. was that a reflection on the Republicans in these'townships? 'If Connor’s appointment to a non partisan Judgeship was a reflection then the appointments ol these Census Enum erators was also a retlec- tlMoW I don’t believe that thirty- eight Republicans holding the high ‘f ’t-and honorable office of Natlooal Committeemen, will lookeach other in the face and. - steal 78 different times when there is nothing more at stake than a change of a man in oi- ficb when the other fellow oiuld hold the office just as well;' Boys we had just as well come down to facts—one class of men are the equal in honesty of another class— Roosevelt men are no better than Taft men and vice versa all think ing they are in the right—Taft has beep nominated and will be - elected m November. The Republican par ty fia? been in charge of this gov ernment for 50 years and we are looked upon as the greatest and most progressive people on the globe and, we must not through sel fishness let go the reins of this Gov ernment. We can’t afford it.. Roose-; VelfTa not toorold to wai t four years if we find we need him. “Come, letus reason together.” REPUBLICAN STATE CONNEN- TION SEPTEMBER 4TH. The Republioan Htate Executive Committee met at Greensboro last VYednesday and passed the follow ing resolutions: “ Resolved, Tb at, a Republican State convention is hereby called to meet in the city of Charlotte on the 4th day of September, 1912. at 12 o’clock, in., for the purpose of niminating presidential electors fur the State at Targe, Governor and other State officers, two cor poration commissioners, and nom inate candidates to fill any other office that may be, or become va cant for which nominations should be made or ratified by the State convention, electing a Republican State executive committee and a State chairman, and to trausact any other business that may prop erly come before the convention.

' A Defiibcfat fold ua the other day that he believed Wikon would be the next President at.d if he he was, hard times would doubt less follow and that he was begin ning-to get ready for it, as it was always prudent to be on the safe side. Yet blinded by political heredity or choice, he will vote for Wilson with due preparation for the inevitable; instead of avoiding all doubt and uncertainty and cast his vote for President Taft, the representative ol the Republican party and its policies. This may be good politics, voting one way and praying another, but it looks tike rank foolishness. And many will vote for Wilson and ignore the preparation and then repeat the refrain “The saddest of all it might have been”—otherwise. The best way and the safest and surest way is to take no chances and vote the Republican ticket. : Insect Pest on Cotton. Mr. Julius Pierce, a farrntr of Mt. Ulla community, tells the Mooresville Enterprise that a small insect, a little larger than a house fly and shaped like a grasshopper, is ruining the cotton shapes as they form on the stalky These little in serts do not destroy the leaves but seem to light upon the young shapes and suck the sap from the shape. The shapes, when touch ed or a strong wind blows, fall off; The insect is green in color and can fly as well as hop. The pest is doing "considerable damage Io the cotton in Rowan and Iredell counties ru the vicinity of- Mt. Ulla; and much complaint has been made of its ravages in other localities.

The esteemed Charlotte Oh ron- icle in speaking of the annual con veution of the North Carolina Good Road3 Assoeiatiou in that city last week, exclaims, = “ Give us Good Roads,” W e say give us men that knjw the value of Good Roads, and who knowing it will go down in their pockets and procure them. If we sit still until-the state of the General Government,. “gi ves” us good roads we will never have them. When the people who use the roads and pay the burdeis caused by bad roads, are content to go along in the same old rut and never think what they are do ing, wearing out tneir teams and themselves and their time, it is practically useless to try to get the state or the Goverfiment to . help them. It is all very nice to' meet and talk and 4lResolutelr as the Good Roads Associatiou did last week, but it is one thing to pass a resolution and quite another to put it into effect. State aid and- Fed eral aid for the- construction of good roads is alright and we should have them, but the people who own and use the roads must take the initiative and show by their progress that they are willing to help themselves. Wide-awake, progressive county commissioners in every county, who will make a few miles of good roads for their counties as samples, can do more to educate the people to the value of good roads than dozens of meet ings and hundreds of resolutions.

In vain that husband strained his ears; then; he surrendered to the blues, and rrom his eyes'the briny tears rolled down his whiskers to his shoes, “ All day I swept end washed and baked,” he murmured- in resentful tones; ‘’darned stock ings till my innards ached,- and scrubbed, upon my marrow bones.

If wives but knew how much their hubs rebel at all their griefB and woes, they’d not so often seek the clubs and caucuses and things like those. If Jane would spend an evening here, say once a week, grief would depart; this home would seem a place of cheer, the housework wouldn’t break my heart. But no, when evening comes she takes her hat and over coat and cane, and leaves me to a world of aches and tears and lone> liness and pain. Alas, the tyran ny of wives!

A good deal ol spt culatiou is in-; dulged id, ia regard to the result of the apptoaeliing Rresidential election, if. all three of the candi dates continue in the race. I t is argued that Taft and Roosevelt will divide the republican vote So that neither-of them can get a ma jority in the electoral college, and that .Wilson caupot lie elected even if he polls the eiitire democratic strength without considerable help from republican sources. This he is not at all likely to get, many persons Think, as the Taft and Roosevelt men will wage such a strenuous fight that no republican will be overlooked and all will vote either a stand-pat or a pro gressive republican ticket. In such a case there would be no elec tion by the regular electoral col lege and the matter would be re ferred to the House of Representa tives in Congress, where each state would have one vote. Tn a line up of this kind the republicans seem ’ to have 23 of the 25 necessary to elect while the democrats have 21 with lour doubtful.

A convention of the Republican voters of Davie county is hereby called to meet at the Court House in the town of Mocksville, N.

Inaweekortwo we hope to be able to tell our read ers that a morning tram has been secured. Itisafactth at Mr. Kitchin has done nothing with the trusts. But neither has any other Democratic Governor, and most of them made the race on an anti trust platform. Why not be honest about it and ad mit that it has not been the n ;t n- tipn of the party m this Stale to put any trust out of business? Thus sayeth the Durham Herald, a Demo cratic paper.

Judge Cooke, who is going to pre side'over our next court, continues to go after the society gamblers at every stop A short-time ago he swatted them heavily at Statesville. La3t week he fell on the gamblers at Lexington. The Dispatch last week had the following to say: “A blistering tirade against, “re spec table” gamblers.was the most noteworthy feature of the charge to the grand jury delivered yesterday morning by Judge C. M. Cooke, He began UyiTemarking that a man with his experience would go on the bond of almost any other criminal before he would touch a gambler. A man addicted to that vice, he said, is worse than a chronic drunkard; the gambler may leak better to the out ward view, but the toper has the whiter heart. Furthermore he warn ed the officers that they need mot bring before him a bunch of little niggers caught shooting craps and expect him to send them to the roads unless at the same time they haled to the bar the society leaders who spend their nights playing poker. He made a savage pass at the kind of officer, all too common, who after making vast preparations, raids some deserted shanty to catch a.crowd of coons and drags the poor negroes to jail, but who daily passes by some big building where he knows very well certain prominent and influen tial men are engaged in a poker game, and never offers to disturb them. - “There is another class of gam blers, who in His Honor’s opinion are too often immune, and that is the ladies who band themselves to gether in whist clubs, all chipping in to buy a prize which they all then play for. Here the judge paused, saying that this town might be dif ferent from most, and not have any such organizations; if that was the case he would stop right there; was it? There was a dramatic pause, but presently a still, small voice from the bar remarked that was not the case, and His Honor proceeded. He called on the grand jury to colled the names of the members of such an organization, if they found one, and hand them to him. If he found that the practice had not been dis continued by next court he would demand that the solicitor take ac tion. . “He reminded the grandjury that the law makes it a misdemanor to sell cigarettes to boys under 17. and ordered them, if they found a boy under, that age smokinging them to find out where he got them and bring the guilty man before him. Ir the fellow didn't know anything about it the judge would endeavor to teach him. Incidentally it may be remarked that Judge Cook did gat a man for this not so very long ago, and fined him $500. Thejudge touched lightly on a number of other offences, but the foregoing is the listof his charge.” Taft in November. Many a Democrat has been elected in July, only to be bured under an avalanche of votes of votes in No vember. Mr. Taft’s prospects are now at their lowest ebb. First driven by treachery and shameful a >use to the extreme of undignified personal defenses, then fought with unexampled bitterness in his contest fora deserved renomination, and now confronting not only an open detachment from his own ranks, but also a most resourceful and daring Democratic opponent, his record of accomplishments upon which he must ultimately rely is for the mo ment eclipsed. But the fact that few presidents have rendered more valuable service under trying con ditions remains. Mr. Taft’s fideiity, conscientiour endeavors, his single ness of unselfish purpose his purity of intent, his noble achievements, are forgotten only for the time. They will be recalled with gratitude and emphasized with effect.—[From Harper’s Weekly, which is support ing Wilson.] For The Legislature. Mr. Editor:—Will you allow me space in your valuable paper to sug gest the name of E. H. Morris for the Legislature from Davie county I do not know whether Mr. Morris would consider the nomination, but I am sure there is no man in the county that would fill the office more acceptably than he. As a life long Republican, I for one, would be glad to see Ed get the nomina tion, for he would be elected by a sweeping majority. ^ . REPUBLICAN. Rev. S. D. Swaim Dead.

Lots of things will come down in the tumble. The price of-labor will comedown. Thepriceof the pro ducts of the farm will come down. Lots of high things will come down. High collars and high heel shoes will come down to plaid shirts and iribca- sins. Of course Doc Wilson being, a school teacher who knows nothing about the bread and butter side of life may have little gumption enough to think that he can fix it so that everything the farmer has to buy will come cheap and everything he has to sell will fetch a good price, but we all know such a condition is as impossible and unreasonable as to expect a plaster on the outside of. a man’s stomach with flitters and fried chicken would satisfy his hunger. Butthere are lots of Democrats, who, if Wilson would tell them that he could formulate a law that would make wool grow on the back of a. hydraulic ram and fried chicken on the back yard fence, would believe it and want to lick the pea-green stuffin out of any man who would dispute the proposition. — Yellow Jacket. .

Re was detailed for duty as assistant adjut ant general by Governor Glenn in 1907 and commissioned as successor to the late Gen. J. F. Arrafield as Adjutant General by Governor Kitcmn November 15,1910. 1867 And 1912. Is moral influence and practice better now than forty-five years ago? I willnot make a public decision of the matter, but will give a true account of my own ob servations and let the reader be the judge. Forty-five years ago out of a hundred boys and young men under the age of 21 years could not have been found over two or three that would have been found guilty of., being intoxicated in a public assembly; with a bottle of liquor in their pocket or a cigarette in their mouth.. Today you may go to any large gathering like the Masonic picnic, and take at random one hundred young raeh and boys under the age of 21, and you will find fifty of them guilty of one or both of the faults above named. I am not criticizing the picnic—its fundamen tal principles are good—but if a close ob server will spend the day walking - over the wohds and outskirts of the picnic grounds ho will be very fearful that - the immoral aspects will outweigh the moral. What a pity to see the bright youth of our land,-the hope of the nation, the man of tomorrow, staggering and: reeling Un der the influence of strong drink. Now, the question arises, where does the blame- lay. You.may say in-the parents, which is fundamentally true, but if they have failed, then the responsibility is on those, who profess to be followers of -the meek and lowly One who came to seek -and to save those who were lost. Now it’s not worth while for ine to go to quoting scrip ture, as it is supposed that all who con fess Christ know its teachings. There is an oldadage like this-:. "'Slumber- not - in the tents of your fathers." The, world is advancing, ’advhnpe with it. -That's - all good, if it’s done in a moral or - legitimate way; and I; am sorry tosay it,- but I have now come to the curious part of my sub- jeot, which is, djat the world is advanc ing in a wild, recVess gallop, with the church astridemf its back, regardless of consequences. Fashion, formality and deception are p} the Ieafi, ^ it pot; time, the church was waking up to a sense of its duty. I am sorry to say it, but the world cannot recognize two church mem bers when they see them meet on the street, for instead of seeing a kind smile and hearty handshake, it is a slight grunt and hurry on after that almighty 'dollaf. 't seems that some church members are ishamed to call their pastor, brother, let alone the other fellow. NowI could fill much more space, but in Conclusion will 3ay if this misses the waste Imsket I will write again later on. . . W. C. P. Etchison.

Wilson, the author of the infamous Wilson law of 20 years ago, was a college professor and was bom in Yirginia. Woodrow Wilson is a college professor and was born in Virginia. To those who remem ber the lean and hungry years when the Wilson law was in force, the co incidence of name. birthplace, pro: fession and political principles has a sinister aspect. He (Dr. Wilson) denounced organ ized labor in the most vicious man ner and declared in substance that he preferred a Chinese coolie to an American trade union man, because the coolie was more industrious, and law-abiding and willing to work for less. He inveighed bitterly against our Eastern Europe immigrants as sordid people of the meaner sort; and Greeks and Poles. Slavs and Ital ians will justly wonder what views he holds today. The Roman Catho lic church will also find some pas sages in his writings that call for considerable explaining, and though he is an incomparable artist in the line of disavowing and dissembling and can execute a piroaette as deft ly as any public man of our times, he is likelv to have full need of all his mental agility to this end.—Ro chester Post-Express.

C. Stand By The Old Party. G. W. Salmon; In Union Republican. Mr. Editor: Having read so much in papers about Progressives and Progressive ideas, I am of tfce opinion that the Progressive move ment is too progressive lor the -best interests of the country . The conservative principles of the grand old Republican party have made this the-greatest nation on the lace of God’s green earth. Then why turn the reius of gov ernment over to a crowd of mal- conteuts whose sole ambition is to rule or ruin! Fellow Republicans, this is the time of all times to stand by your guns. See that they are at all times pointed directly at the ene my, whether it be Democrat or Republican, Bull Moose, Socialist or any other name whereby we are subject to be deceived. This is no time to turn aside after straDge political gods, the glitter ol which may be alluring the voice capti vating. Go not- after them, the end thereof is political death. The old ship that has safely wcaliiered Btorrasin the past is as safe and sound today as ever and is as gallantly sailing on the har bor of prosperity. Let our battle cry be “ We’ll never give up the sbip. Stand by her, she will car ry you through.” Remember the old Democratic soup house days. Get on the old Republican craft. She will land you on the bank of sweet deliver ance where Democratic soup is un known. Theothers are not head ed that way. TheTrialsofaTraveler. ‘ I am a traveling salesman,’ writes E. E. Youngs, E.

Well, such is the case. We are here, and one 0four chief diversions is to preach Bepublican gospel and poke the Donkey under the ribs. Well, Woodrow, we notice that y o u have selected the tariff and bigh cost of living as a paramount t o work the public with. Andno doubt this will do just as well as anything else you could U9e. But bow are you going to reduce the coat of living, Governort Don’t you know that the people who you are appealing to for votes are largely to blame for the high coBt of living. You know, Woodrow, there was a time when the labor ing men or some of them were; will ing to work ten hours a day for a day’s pay. Ask a farmer how a days work by a farm hand com pares now with the amount of work a farm hand used to do and he will tell you that the difference is near ly half. The average laboring man only wants to work about eight hours and do six hours work and he wants all the wages and profits in the business, and Gover nor fl/oe out of ten girls that get married nowadays don’t know a Meudly prune from a bar of soap sud would hold up her iilly white bauds in holy horror at corn, beef sud cabbage and therefore the family has got to live on canned and package goods and the result is they are paying for the package and can and not for food. One other trouble that ails the country isthegrowiDg dishonesty of- the people in general. The growing desire to get something for nothing aud get it as quick as possible. Uowtake yourself for instance. Touhave picked out the tariff and the high cost of living aB your cardinal principles to secure • the votes that you may get fifty thous and dollar a year as President. How, are you honest, Governor? Morgan says he is honest, but he’s a liar. Carnegie thinks he’s horn v*t, but he’s a thief. It isn’t oecessaiy for a man to steal in the. dark of the night to be a thief, be Wnse the man who Bells a pound of family prunes for 15 cents that only cost eight is as moch of a rob ber as the hold-up man. Ijots of your Democratic friends 'ooine around us and ask us to tell them what we think you will do ^hen yon get to be President. We I tne<u you will fix it so the ^rmer can get 50 cents a pound lor his butter and can buy his bogar at 3 cents and leather at cOMb and coffee at 7 cents. That’S about the way you aim to average Jt “P ain’t it, Woodrow? And too laborer will get $2*000 a year ood six hours for a day.

Oh you say busting trusts is the business of the President. Fiddlesticks. Fudge. Texas and Missouri didn’t wait for the Presi dent. Now, Governor, isn’t it a fact that before pou were Gover nor twenty minutes you wanted to be President? Your friends tell us you are a learned man, a student and a fight er. What battles were you in, Gov.? You don’t call turning down your friends Harvey and Col.. Watterson, a battle, do you? And they say you are President of a great college. .If you are you must be good at figures and if you are good at figures yon can tell us how much your nomination cost, who furnished’the boodle and what deal you made to finally secure the nomination of the 46 ballott. But all jokes aside Governor, we take this method of serving notice on you. that we are going to oppose your election with all the fight that is in us. You are a iree trader. If you were elected and yonr fool tariff ideas put into practice then this nation might as well prepare for going into bankruptcy. So you may look out for something hot from this corner of the woods and what we propose doing for you will make them Jersey, skeeters feel like soothing syrup runniDg down your claseic back. The peo ple of this nation don’t like to have their employment taken away from them aud given to the people in foreign lands. They don’t like to have their wages diminish or dis appear. They don’t like to lose their bread and butter. You run ning on a platform that threatens the wages of this country. Your tariff plank is exactly word for word like the one that Grover Cleveland used to knock the socks off Prosperity 17 years ago. You may think this letteua little previ ous but we couldn’t hold our ton gue any longer. A pary that will dare to h.old the same old club over the head6- of the people that brought long bread lines all over the United States doesn’t elicit much respect from this corner of the moral vineyard and we just wanted to remind you of the fact. County Election Boards and the Size of the Ballot. The State board of elections has named board of elections for each county in the State, the appoint ments being on recommendation of the county executive committees of the respective counties, two Democrats and one Bepublican.

The Stajte ticket will be 3 I 2 by 12 inches, the presi dential ticket 31 2 by 8 inches and congressional ticket 3 1-2 by 2 inches.. The board consists of Colonel Wilson G.

A few nights ago on the train for Morehead City there boarded the car at Greensboro a younthful looking couple, evidently a swain right from the backwoods of Guil ford or Orange county and his re cently wedded bride, bound for the “city by the sea” on a honeymoon trip. The loving manner and coo ing ways soon attracted the4 atten tion. oi every one in sight or sound of hearing. They were assigned to their berths in the sleeping com partment, the hubby taking the taking the upper. After the train left Greensboro and the porter had made up the berths all of the pas sengers began to turn in for the long night ride before them. In a few minutes the car was still and quiet except for the snoring of some soundly sleeping passengers. The young husband however, making a law unto himself of every slightest wish of his better half, had recourse to go to the end of the ear for a glass of water for his turtledove. Accomplishing the first part of his mission success fully and with no mishap he began the return journey With the water. In the dimly lighted and swaying car he made the terrible, but oft common mistake o f confusing berths, and instead of coming to the one occupied by his wife went to one where lay a tired and sleepy traveling man. Pulling aside the curtain just a fraction of an inch, he begau: •‘Honey!” There was no answer. Again he spoke, each word fraught with the tenderest love and. solicitude: '“Honey, here’s your water!” No response. Becoming a little anxious he pulled the curtains aside and ten derly and caressingly: “Honey”— By this time several of the occu pants had begun to take notice and were peering cautiously through slight apertures, when suddenly the curtains were thrown violently aside and the youthful husband was confronted with the irate countenance of the awakened sleep er who exploded with sufficient emphasis as to be heard the length of the car: . “This ain’t no bee hive, you dam fool, this is lower seven.”— Gastonia_Gazette.

CASTOR IA Tor Inffintrand ChIldreii.. Hui B ears the S ignatw eof m . . The High Heel Shoes. MonroeEnquirer. A lady, an enthusiastic Christian worker, stood within a church packed full of people. She read a paper on the “Chinese Vfomeu.” She told how the fee£ of the poor heathen Chinese women are bound, how they are crippled thereby, and she plead for money to send the missionary to teach the Chinese women.a better way. The good lady, who read the paper had on a pair of shoes that pinched her feet, heels—great, high, slender ones— that were placed just under the hollow of the foot that made walk ing both paiDful and dangerous. She could not breath freely, so tight was her waist lacing, and yet she sympathized with the poor Chinese woman who bound her leet. Of course you will not like fir it to be written here, but hon estly the well educated American womon, with the knowledge of physiology that she has, or has the opportunity of having, to say the Ieast of it, who wears the aboniin able stylish higfi heels on her shoes, the bottom of the heel being about the size of a dime and put right under Lhe hollow of her foot, throwing the whole foot into mis ery, placing the weight of her body right at the spot under the foot where nature intended that no pressure should be, and thereby putting legs and back into a strain to keep the body in poise—and then in addition to that pulls a lot of lacing around her waist so tight that it is difficult to get enough air into - the lungs and makes the breath come in short, quick gasps, is committing a greater sin in God’s sight than is the yellow wo man over yonder in China who, in her. heathendom, binds her feet. The American man who sends his money to China in order that the American missionary may teach the Chinese woman not Io bind their, feet and then spends jnoney buying the abominable high heel ed, forward pitched shoes for his wife;aud daughter to wear, is blowing out money one way or the other. Do you expect to make American women reform their mode of dress by writing thes arti cle do you ask? Not one bit of it The only thing it- will do will be to make these high heeled women make some fling at the writer be hind his back. It will take about two hundred more years of train ing to make the American woman quit punishing her body with her dress. She has inherited from her hair-covered, cave-dwelling ances try, who punched holes thro Dgh their noses and their ears, in order to put ornaments in them, a pro pensity to punish the body in or der to ornament it, and it will take a long time for that old nature to be wiped-out. The writer, who has never : been away from his home land, ventures the ,assertion that he has seen more suffering' off the part of women because of un comfortable footwear than any mis sionary to China - ever saw,- In China comparatively few women bind their feet; Here the' cement sidewalks of our towns are pound ed hourly by women Buffering as they walk, all of ’em from the nigger cook to the society queen; are squeezing their feet and walk ing on the little old._.spike heels and every Sunday there is a row: after row of those same little spike heels—we can: barely keep ,from writing it with two ll’s instead of ee’s-^-Iined. up under the church pews, the wearers suffering by wearing ’emT Now if any of you' spike heeled* wearers do not -like this—you just don’t like it all you please and keep on wearing ’em as long as you can it. This . writ ing has .not been done to please you,nohow, bnt just to give vent to a mean feeling that’B got to be winrked off soins way or other, s Apologizing for Their Position. Professor Wilson, the Demo cratic nominee for President, and all of the Democratic politicians and newspapers are now busy try ing to assnre the country that it there is a Democratic President and a Democratic Congress that they will, in changing the tariff, do it so as to hurt business and prosperity as little as possible Their confessions and declarations are enough to convince the people at once of the great danger that awaits the country from another Democratic administration. In this connection, it is well to note the declaration of the Demo cratic platform on the tariff ques tion. It declares for “a tariff for revenue only,” and further de clares that any other kind of a tariff, that is, a tariff for protec tion, is-“unconstitutional,” If, that platform declaration means-what it says in plain Eng lish, then a Democratic Congress would withdraw all protection to American industry and to Ameri can labor, and would proceed to raise revenue enough to run the Government by simply putting a tariff on articles not made or raised iu this country such as tea and coffee. Itis easyenoughto raise all of the revenue that the Govern ment needs on such articles and withdraw all protection to every industry in this country and leave us on an absolutely free-trade basis. That is what the Democratic platform declares for, yet we find Governor Wilson and his man agers already trying to explain to the people that th ey do not mean exactly that. They say they are going to cut down the tariff grad- ualy and hurt the country as little as possible. The question arises, Why should the country be hurt at all?—Cau casian. Youngest Mother in History.

I., on^ a charged the larceny of a diamond ring valued at $75 she held them at bay at the door of her room in house on Broadway all day by re fusing to don any clothing. , The young woman, as soon as -the inspectors began questioning her, bolted into her room and started to undress. The officers tried to take her in charge, but her actions be came such that they desisted and blushing; left her room. For several hours, at varying in tervals, the inspectors in turn asked the young woman to come out; She refused. It was not until evening that a young woman, a friend of Antiie1 succeeded in persuading her to dress. Apple Crop in The Brushies. - ' Charlotte Observer, 10 th. “The best apple crop in 10 years and one of t he be3t if not the very ; best that the Brusby Mountain ap ple region has ever known,” was the report that Col, Tom Rowland ' brought down from Taylorsville yesterday. Colonel Rowland, who has been; deeply interested, in the' develop ment of apple culture in this pro ductive section for years, was very much elated over the prospects lor a record yield, declaring inciden tally that he expected to realize not less than 25 per cent on his in vestment this year. - The trees, be said, were bending with the fruit and that the indications are that the grade as well as the quantity will be excellent. ^ Last year these apples were sold on the trees for 50 cents a bushel but a new method will be followed this season. Practiealiy all oftbe owners of orchards 'have entered into a stock company for the mar keting of their product, somewhat after the fashion of the Georgia peach growers, who several years, ago organized the Georgia fruit exchange. >. The apple growers have entered the Western .North Carolina Fruit Growers’ Associa tion, which concern will supervise the gathering, packing, shipping and marketing of the fruit where- ever necessary and otherwise dis pose of the product to the best in terests of the growers. This as sociation will exercise a general supervisory control of the-market ing of the apples, in order that the very best prices can be secured. This is regarded as a decided im provement over ''the: system: last year where every orchard owner sold his own product. Colonel Rowland adds that there is market activity in all sections of the apple growing country. From New York. A North Carolina Bepublican living in New York, writes the Union Bepublican as follows: “The indications here are that Roosevelt will make a complete faiinre in his own State. The fight in New YoikState will bs between . Tait and Wilson with odds on Taft. The conservation voters fa vor Taft as well as the old time Bepublicans. The bel ter class of foreign born citizens are strong for Taft. Wilson will get a good vote but Roosevelt will draw some of the radical voters of both parties to nis side and this will hnrt Wil son.

A convention of the Republican voters of Davie county is hereby called to meet at the Court House in the town of Mocksviile, N. C.. on Monday, September the 2nd, 1912, at twelve o’clock, m.. for the pur pose of selecting delegates to the State, Congressional and Senatorial conventions to be held during the year 1912. This the 14th day of August, 1912. C. G. Bailey, Chm. Rep. Ex' Com Davie Co. J. F. Moore, Sec. Rep. Ex. Com. Good roads, a building and loan association and a cotton mill is what Mocksviile needs. Davie county can secure the Na tional Highway if she wants it. How about it? AU things come to those who go after them. If we secure a cotton mill, we will have to go after it. The people do not want free soup houses, empty dinner pails and 5 cent cotton, therefore they will not elect a Democratic president. A lie will spread and ti avel much faster than the truth. If you don’t believe this, tell the truth for once and see whit slow time it makes. A Bull Moose has no more right to vote in the RepubRcan State con vention than has the rankest Demo crat in Davie county. T.iere are half a di zen Presiden tial candidates before the ie pie t i i year. Those who can’t be pleas ed this time should never be allowed to vote again. What has become of our country correspondents? They must be out beating the bushes tor some kind of an office. Get busy and send us the news. So long as the farmer makes his bread and meat and has a little to spare, we will not be uneasy, for our living has always come from the farmer and not from the peanut po litician. Better send us your renewal and Eave us the trouble of sending you a “love letter.” The Record is going to be rich, rare and juicy this year, and you can’t afford to do without it. The meanest man in the world is the fellow who will take a paper two or three years, read it every week, and when asked to pay for it, swear he never subscribed. No need to try to preach to. us that there is no hell, for >f not, what would become of such people. The fight goes merrily,on between Judge Clark, Governor Kitchin and Senator Simmons, three Democrats all wanting the same piece of pie, Why not retire a couple of the boy s on a life pension, and thuifsettle the disturbance before things reach such a pitch as they have in the South Carolina Democratic camp. Someof our friends or enemits have started the report that E. H. Morris is still owner of The Record. We wish to refute this charge, and state that we purchased The Record in November, 1908 from Mr. E. H. Morris, paying him in full for the entire outfit and good will of the par per on the day we purchased same. We make this statement, bath in justice to Mr. Morris and to ourself. A Goq^ Ticket. Mr. Editor:—As the time draws near for the Republicans to tneet and select their officers for the com ing two years, I wish to suggest the following ticket, which I believe would be a winner Let every Re publican in the county begin to con sider seriously and find out whom they want to hold the various offices for the next term: Representative—E. H. Morris, Sheriff—J. L. Sheek. Register—J. F. Moore. Treasurer—J. W. Etchison. County Commissioners—C. G. Bai ley, E. E. Vogler, C. A, Hartman. I believe the Republicans of Davie county would make no mistake in nominating the above-named men to fill the offices. We must put up a ticket that will meet the approval of the Republicans throughout th e c >unty or a Republican victory might be turned into a Democratic county. A R ep u b lican . The Sheek Lumber Mill. Afew daysagowevisited Mr. J. L. Sheek's lumber plant, which is lo cated in North Mocksviile, and were surprised to find so much work going on at this place. Six or eieht people are employed at this plant,; which handles all kinds of rough and finish ed lumber. Two planers are kept in operation constantly, and much lum ber is being bought and sold. Many thousands of feet of rough lumber are stacked in the yards, lumber wagons arriving and unloading at all hours of the day. In connection with the lumber plant, Mr. Sheek also operates a cotton gin of the latest and most improved pattern. The gin is run about half the year. These Plants are located at a convenient site on the Southern Railway, and have ample side-track for shipping purposes. Mr. Sheek is doing a good business, and deserves the success he is achieving. County Ticket Suggested. Mk. Editor:—Please allow m e space in The Record to suggest the fol owing county ticket, suoject to the will of the Republican county convention: For Representative—J. F. Moore. For Sheriff—C. A. Hartman. For Register—J. W. Kimbrough. For Clerk of Court—A. T. Grant. For Surveyor—M. C. Ijames. For Coroner—Dr. T. T. Watkins. For County Commissioners—W. H. Hobson, J. F. Ratledge, E.E. Vogler. With such a ticket in the field, the county should easily go 4oo majority Republican. Inmytravels through i he county, I find that the Republi- cins are mighty tired of voting for the same set of men year in and year nut. and they are anxious for a change. The old- ticket could not, in my opinion, be elected again A VOTER. . ing his nephew, Mr. John Helper, is very sick we are sorry to note. Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Owens, of Iiitiwood, spent a few days last weik with Mrs. Owens’ parents, and was accompanied hoiue by her mother and sister, 31rs. sind Miss Minnie Beck. Miss Tressie Angell returned to her home WetIaesday after a de lightful visit on DufceJiniau creek. Miss Mattie Helper spent Satur day and Sunday with Miss Flor- ance Beck. Mrs. 0. W-. Helper spent Sun day with her brother, Mr. J. W. Sain, of Bixby. Mrs. H. CJ. Sain is visiting her daughters, Mesdames. John and Charlie Hepler. - ltalph McClararoch, spent Thurs day and Friday in Winston with his best girl., John and'Charlie HepIer made a business trip to Winstou last week. While there they bought two two-horse wagons. Dillon Wagner will leave for Winston, today to work. Perhaps he will stay long enough for the water to get hot, but doubt it. During the Oak Grove meeting one of the Union Chapel boys was -seen hauling one of our best look ing girls on Dutchman. Mr. Sam Boger left Monday for Winston.

DoWe Wanta Mill. If the people of Mocksviile want a cotton mill, we believe they can get i The land can be had for nothing on which to locate the mill. ; A gen tleman living in Greensboro, who is an experienced mill man, tells us that if the people here want a mill, h a will build it for them and run it. He will also take some stock: in the m 11 if the people mean business. It does look to us like we could; secure a small mill, say one with a capital of $250,000 or $300,000. We have many citizens who could put in from $ 5,000 to $25,000. There is no doult but what a cotton mill is a paying proposition Take a look around and see the hundreds of mills that are flourishing on every hand. A cot ton mill would do more to build up our town than a hundred stores, or a thousand aristocratic families who do nothing but sit around and watch the town lose her best citizens-for lick of employment. We need moie factories, more working people, and less dudes, dudenes, and loafers who won’t work themselves, and who want no one else to work. The thirg to do is to call a public meeting, in vite every man in the county who is interested in the town and county, to be present and subscribe stock in a cotton mill for the town Get busy gentlemen and let’s show other towns that we are not dead, but have only been taking a long sleep, and' have at last waked up with a determina tion to do something. A mill can be secured now if you will made the proper effort; Will you? DutchmanCreek New*.

The people of Mocksviile might as well make up their minds to the fact that the town is never go ing to do anything in a business way'U n til it gets a cotton mill. That is the only thing that the tosvn of Mocksviile can get that will put.money in circulation and create a floating trade. Let a cot ton mill Ie built at Mocksviile and the merchants will feel the need of advertising without being told. People are moving away from the town seeking employment else where. Souie . of the merchants are going out of business anti Others will have to do so or else move to other places. Tbe roads and. t ridges that are Using liuilt leading ont of the county are taking the irade out of the conuty aud away from Mocksvi'le. Whyf Because there is nothing going on iu Mocks- vitle in a businest way toattract this trade. A blind man can see tbat the papers of Winston-Salera, Salisbury and Statesville say that these roads and bridges will bring their towns more trade which will be taking it away from Davie and Mocksviile, therefore the people of Mocksviile should make an ef fort to attract and hold this trade. A cotton mill is the only thing that will do that. The town can not thiive unless the merchants thrive, the merchants cannot thrive unless they have money in circu- 1 tion and a floating trade. The cmnty cannot thrive unless the county seat thrives. Therefore it personnel of these squads of work ers The membership of the commit tees is divided between Taft .Re publicans a n d Democrats..

The southern end of the trestle was badr Iy damaged. , The following letter has been re ceived from a subscriber at Yadkin- ville: “Hike your paper, The Re cord! It’s brimming full of choice reading, sparkling with choice wit, just enough of your “darn foolish ness” to make it go. I like your position on the dog question. You are not afraid to speak out in meet ing. The dog should be taxed. Yes, tax the farmers dog and exempt the family cow if either should go tax free. But our representatives are moral cowards and afraid of: losing a few votes. Yes, give us more sheep and less dogs. In Memory Little Mary E. Safiey. Little Mary, daughter of D. F. and Bena Safley was born Feb. 18th. J 905 and died Aug, 111912. While we realize we will never see her little face on earth, again yet we know she is safe in the arms of Jesus. Her sweet loving disposi tion was such that to know her was to love hsr. And whil° we deeply feel and mourn her death, we can refer Io her life wifcb joy, and sor= row not even as others whicl have no hope. It is so sad to have to part from her, yet “The Lord gave aud the Lord hath taken a- way.” And now fattier, mother, and little brother, grieve not for little Mary, who is basking in the snnligbt of Gods love, but so live that you too may be permitted to strike hands with her on that bliss fnl shore where sorrow and sadness shall be never more.

WonderfaiS Csires Ilepoited In Germany. - The use o f simple-herbs-as remedies instead of the more concentrated and usually more dangerous inorganic substances, has been revived very widely of late. In Germany a new school of physicians has arisen which throws out almost a -whole, of the pharmacopeia and relies on an adaptation ot the method oi wild animals in curing themselves. . . ... N . Y . TfrOrId. It was Dr. R. V. Pierce, chief consulting physician to the Invalids’ HoteT and Surgical Institute of Buffalo, N . Y .; who first advocated the extended use of some of our native roots, such a s: Golden seal and Oregon grape root, mandrake and queen’s root, black eherrybark. These are the chief ingredients in Doctor Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery, which has been so well and favorably known for nearly half a century. A harmless cleanser and stomach tonic that nature has provided. J .D oitald Mathesoh of Ossining, N .Y. saysr ttI suffered for over five years with what the doctors told me was dilated condition o f the stomach, associated ivtth a catar- : Thai coiwiitioJi o f same, and, nervous heart. I had tried enough nux, bismuth, gentian, rhubarb, etc., to float a ship and naturally thought there vas no cure for me, but after reading what eminent- doctors said of the curaiiveaualities of the ingredients of ‘Golden Medical Discovery’ Ig a v eit a fair trial. Took the ‘Discovery’ and also the “Pleasant Pellets,’ and can truthfully say I am feeling better now: than I na,ve in years.

Creamery Would Pay. The following from the Shelby Highlander reminds us that creamery for Mocksville would be a paying proposition: If every small town in Western Horth Carolina would follow the example set by Mooresboro a great and enduring prosperity would spring up over the section of the country that would be the envy of other sections .and the making, of shis. Mooresboro was the pioneer creamery town of the piedmont belt. Its experiment in running a creamery was generally viewed with foreboding by old fogies and critics, who are wont to cry down everything ne>v that comes up. But the creamery made good rap idly. How it brings into the Mooresboro community somewhere between $12,000 and $15,000 every year, or over twice each year what it cost to build it. At the same time a by product of the dairying industry entiches the land and makes it more productive than it was before A vast amout of ill health is due to im paired digestion. When the stomach fails to perform its functions properly the whole system becomes deranged. A few doses of Chamberlain's Tablets is all vou need. They will strengthen your diges tion, invigorate your liver, and regulate your bowels, entirely doing away with that miserable feeling due to faulty di gestion, Try it.

An exchange says there are a few things that every town’ has and enumerates them as follows: A liar. A sponger. A know all. Agirl that giggles. - A wom an th a t talks. Some weather prophets M ore loafers th an it needs. . Boys who cut up at church. Girls who do likewise. Young men who go to church and hang around on the outside-until some girl comes out. A few girls who will go with a thing like that. A widower who make remarks about women. Some men who are too gray for the town. A few who know how to run the affairs of the country. A green young man who laughs every time he says anything. A girl who goes to the postoffice, every time a mail comes in. Scores of men with the gable end of their trousers worn as smhoth as a window pane. People who look around in church when anyone comes in and could-not tell for their life whether the preacher took his text from the Bible or an almanac. A Poor Theory. According to the Raleigb Chris tian Advocate, a Bible Student Association has decided thar. there is no hell and calls on ministers and newspapers to start a crusade against the doctrine. Thesebeard- is boys, whose brains are as scant ds fbeir beard, are not the only wise acres who pitched the Bible overboard. AU down throu the ages these smart alec B have risen from time to time to tell the world the straight thing about eteinel punishment; but the ‘bam mere’ wore themselves out and the anvil remained. The safe and wise and sensible thing is to take the Bible as it stands and not try to read into its pages a meaning that suits'the depraved natures that resent the infliction of the punish ment their sins deserve. Thedoo trine of hell has helped to restrain the unruly and keep the world from sinking into its own con up tion .—Charity and Children.
