M 1 \ M t m t h HERE SHALL THE PRESS, THE PEOPLE’S RIGHTS MAINTAIN; UNAWED BY INFLUENCE AND UNBRIBED BY GAIN.” VOLUMN XIV.MOCKSVILLE. NORTH CAROLINA.- WEDNESDAY. FEBRUARY 5. 1913.NUMBER 31 Staoiy County’s Farmer. It is strange what -people all want to know in this world. For the last week they have been alter me with all sorts of questions and the end isen’t in sight. yet. Only yesterday a man wrote ' me asked me wether I cenld explain why his wife dries dishes with her left hand, and today a fellow wants to know why the moon comes and goes instead of staying with us like the sun. Ialwaysanswer every thing that comes my way, but the dish washing proposition will not be handled here. How should I know why ihat man’s wife dries dishes with her left hand! - Why dosen’t he ask her if he is game! If your horse should act as though he needed a new shoe would you nail it on your neighbors eow to see if the horse really did need one:. Now if you were the horse aud I were the cow would there be any difference! Do you catch the scientific reasoning power that holds a high tension in every man’s brain! Do you realize that the Stanly County Parmer is not slight ing you when he 'refusee to hand out information about other peo ple's hdndsf Perhaps your wife is left handed, perhaps Bhe uses a Iett handed dish rag, or perhaps there is a darning needle in the case. Get your information alt home or consult a specialist. The Stanly County is moBtlp feet. Bvt the moon question is not so bad. Being somewhat of . a sky expert I am able to go up in the air once in a while and investigate these things. The reason the moon is so irregular is because she fills special engagements and the sui» dosn’t. The mobn is a sort of a lovers planet and does not allow herself to be bribed by any one congregation of love sick people. This earth is big and it takes her a month to visit her patiennts on all sides. When they are sick on the other side she if there, when they are sick on this side she is here. The moon makes regular visits to Stanly County and keeps things pretty streight. Of course there are a few fellows in the coun ty that are in pretty bad shape .for instance one ol our fellows has a girl up about New London now that she has gone about with a far away look. Another fellow from Norwood has trouble because the girl’s daddy objects. A fellow at Big Lick is guilty of Lapsus Lingo, He Baid too much, now he is in a bad fix. There are some foolish people in this world who claim that the moon is the promoter of weddings and angle cakes bbt they are very wrong. Tho moon is a preventa tive. Don’t you know that before people lived in houses to shelter themselves from the moon there were no marriages at all! the rea; son is that they were in the moon light every night and got cured. Later people made roofs above their heads to keep the light out and that is when the first wedding bell got started. You might say well Kate were under the moon lots of times and got married any way. That’s all right old man but you were too far gone when doctor moon got hold of you. If you had felt your pulse at that time and noticed how weak your heart pumped you couldn’t blame the moon for not being able to put. Ithe govenor on it down a few notches to save your liberty your case is- hopeless and you alone are to blame. I would advise others that feel the sickness coming on to rush out' in the moonlight at once. If you hapen to get an attack in the dark of the mpon and. are beginning to feel pretty shaky, get a big lamp hang it under the ceiling and tie green cloth around it when you have it fixed sit under the lamp every evening for three hours with abig rag doll in your lap aud notice the difference of ,your feel ing at the end of the week. The greeu light will', answer the pur pose of the moon and the rag doll could answer the purpose of the other necessity. It happens too that some people get marred and still stand beneath tho moon every evening but these people are figureing that the world will end tomorrow and they want to get even with each other. I say that if you- want to enjoy life, liberty and the persuit of hap piness go out in the moonlight as possible with the girl that has you on the balance. But if you hap en to get married anyway don’t blame the moon blame the U. S. Postal Department for allowing women to defraud the "males. Watch for me next week.—Alber marie Chronicle. Old Age. Old age as it comes in the orJerly pro cess of nature is a beautiful.and. majestic tting. It stands for experience, know ledge, wisdoiW, counsel. That is old as it should be, but old age as it often is means poor digestion, torpid bowels, sluggish iiver and a general feeling of ill health, despondency and misery. Thiis in almost every instance is wholly unneces sary. One of Chanjberlain’s Tablets taken immediately after supper will improve the digestion, tone up the liver rfnd regulate the bowels. That feeling of despondency will give way to one of hope and good cheer. For sale by all Dealers.

But ev ery body except those who own a gang of worthless curs knows that it ought.to be done. ThedQgsthat are worth anything to their owners could be taxed with impunity. A man with a valuable. dog would not hesitate to pay a dollar a year for the privilege of keeping him. The clamor against a dog tax comes from those who maintain the man gy and mongrel hounds who live off the eggs of other people^ and who slip out once in a while and slay a sheep by way of variety. They are a constant menace to life and limb. Beinghalfstarved they are the ones that go mad and - set the neighborhood wild in the warm weather. A dollar on the heads of these dogs would do the work, Their owners would not pay it apd the dogs would go. The killing of about ¥500,000 North Qarolina dogs would be a happy riddance; and the man .aesponsible for this whole sale slaughter would be entitled to the best. postoffice in the State. But what is the use of indulging in this golden dream! The Legis lature would sooner vote a special tax on sheep or hens Bhanbn dogs. We are living in the hope, howev er, that mankind will reach- that point in the onward .march of civi lization that a Legislature will as semble in Raleigh that , will smite ‘the snarling canines hip and thigh! —Charity and Children.

Hickory Times Mercury. If it were not for editors, the wheels of progress , would stop; They use hot and compressed air as their motive power. Sometimes they are called windjammers. As a rule, they come up from ob-* scurity. Not much is known of their origin until they, develop a little devil in a print shop. Then by evolution up to typo-tramp- printer, associate editor, and edi- tor-in chief. At this stage the edi tors become all things to all men,, especially to the ladies.

It is a re fuge from al) their troubles. But; whenthey pose as fighters they; become holy terrors. Striding on backs of seats, over the heads of: crowded audiences, they rush upon; any. one who dares insinuate that, they have not told the whole trufhi You can account for their every; stunt by remembering that they have lost control of their wind-i jamming machine. Because they, found ont in their earliest incipiency that it is better to scare ten other fellows than whip one. The disposition to bluster is inherent, as is their leaning toward falsification. You know His Sata nic Majesty is prince of the power! of the air and also the father op lies. All successful editors tend to closer relation with him (except ing those who go into politics.)

But after all, we look upon the editor as a necessary evil, since we Rave to see a great many things which disturb our tranquility of mind. Not being able to grasp the Infinite,'or understand the economy of the great Creator, the editor is a consumer. No. producers are found! among tfieir ranks. Thereby they help the down-trodden farmer some. But they consume his time With their mouths, as they do his taters. They make a market for his pork, but always beg their chewing tobacce from him.

They can throw a cable a> round the largest pine stump to be found and pull it up with ease. They are clearing land by pulling up and removing the tre'es with these traction engines. The clear injg of the land by removing the trees by machinery and preparing it with steam plows gives some idea of the progress that has been made in farming in the sand hills section in the past two or three years, says the Express. Before an experi ment was made it was thought that these big plows could dot be oper ated in the sand. Much land haB also been cleared on thj Cumnock farm with a traction engine.

W h y SSave This is the reason why women have “ nerves.” When thoughts begin to grow cloudy and uncertain, impulses lag and the warnings, of p a in and distress are sent like flying messages throughout limbs and frame, straightway, nine times I® ten, a woman will lay the cause ol the trouble to some defeot at the point wher* ihc 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 cure. The local disorder and ID flam o ination of the delicate special organs of the, sex should be: treated steadily and systematically. _ ;• Dr. Pierce, during a long period of practice, founa that a prescription made from medicinal extracts of native roots, without the use of •alcobol. relieyed over 99 per cent, of such cases.

Stanly County’s Farmer. Albemarle Chronicle. The Stanly County Farmer thought that he was through, ans wering questions last week but they will keep on coming just the same. The whole trouble is that this paper’s circulation is getting too large; it always reaches more folks who are guessing at the little mysteries that I am aBked to ex plain. The last one comes from the other side of the United States, aud I suspose others wanted to ask the same thing ever since the world was made, but they didn’t want to admit that they were not wise on some things. The reader who sent in the last inquiry wants to know why cream will turn into butter when it is churned and how butter can be made with least trouble to the maker. What follows is all I know on the subject. Common sense will convince any man that any one does not have to, be gradu ate from a cow stablo to learn why butter will fly out of cream with severe pounding. Churning but ter is only a society term for knock ing the stuffins out of cream for that is all you do when you eh urn anyway. The stuffins of cream be iug butter explains why the latter appears after being clubbed to death. For instance take one of your wife’s pillow cushions place it in a churn and hammer away at it an hour or two and see what yon have. Tbe probabilities are that you will find a lot of feathers on top and some rags on the bottom. With reference to the subject in question the feathers are the but ter and the rages are the butter milk. Nowtakecreaminstead of a pillow cushion and,you get the Bameresult1Only the stuflins oi cream are butter instead of feath ers. If you could induce or coax your chickens to give milk pro bably their cream would turn out the same as the pillow cushion. AU people that ha've ever churn ed cream or pill cushions will ad mit that there is often quite a dif ference in the churning; sometimes it will come quck, and at other times you will have to pound until your backbone works like a strap hinge before the butter appears. This mystery I will explain right now so that the ladies of Stanly county and elsewhere will not be bothered any longer on churn day. To make the principle plain to yourselves, take two pillow cush ions, one sewed together with thin thread, and the other sewed to gether with a thick thread. Place each one in a churn and pound a- way. You will notice that the one with the tin thread surrenders first and releases the feathers; the other will have to be pounded much longer ere you see the feathers, or, in other words, the pillow cushion butter. Well, friends the same is true of cream. Thosedays when it is easy to make butter it is a sign that the cow sewed her cream together with thin thread, and those days when churning was a punishment the cow probably used binder twine or a rope. No matter how well you examine the cream before you churn you can’t see what size of thread the cow used when she sewed the cream together, because she did it when you were not looking. I tell you cows are awful foxy in that respect. The NUMBER 32 Old Age. Old age as it comes in the orderly pro cess of nature is a beautiful and majestic thing. It stands for experience, know ledge, wisdom, counsel. That is-old age as it should be. but old age as it often is means poor digestion, torpid bowels, a 8Iuggish liver and a general feeling of ill health, despondency and misery. This in ulmost every instance is wholly unneces sary. One of Chamberlain's Tablets taken immediately after supper will improve the digestion, tone up the liver and regulate the bowels. That feeling of despondency will give way to one of hope and good cheer. For sale by all.Dealers. ADVERTISEMENT. result is that you simply have to watch the cow at those times when you don’t happen to be looking. Neverlet any rope or fish line hang on the barn fences, or the cow will be sure to gobble it up. Most cows like to sew cream to gether with rope, especially the old ones thatscan’t threat the needle. It is also often the case that • cows have to use ropes in their business because they can’t-find any 'string or thread on the place, but lots of foolish people don’t know this. And sometimes they- can’t ever find rope and have to use some thing else. Did you. ever leave your buggy harness in the barn yard and later discover you cow chewing the lines? Tuat’s a sign she couldn’t find any thread or rope and was going to sew her cream with straps. Nextdayyour wife pounded all day and no but ter would come, because she could- en’t break the sewing. To avoid all this trouble go to the store aud buy a few dozen spools of thread and give the cow one spool after every meal and two at bed time, and notice the differ ence in one week. Cream. will churn easy and the cow wont ‘have to run her legs off hunting stray strings. If it happens that your cow wont eat the thread, don’t blame the cow—blame the U. S. Beef Trust for working against the iuterest of the Spool Thread Fac- tory. To The Dear Old Farmers. Beloved Old Farmers:— _ I’m pround to address you old angels of civilization.

Bemember you can’t get rich on a farm unless you rise at half past 2 o’clock in the morning and stir up the hogs and worry the geese. Blessed is the man who walketh in the corn-field behind a ; meek- eyed mule, for he is the happiest person in all the world.' He riseth at 2 o’clock in the momin’, he watcheth for day to break,’ and when it doth, he goeth forth and stireth up the geese and worrieth the bogs. W h a tisalaw y erw o rth to the world?

If the people of the county will do their duty, there is no reason why Davie should not be building good roads in a few months. Nothing helps a county more than good roads. Itistobehoped that MocksviIle Will yet get a cotton mid. Other towns in this section are landing mills almost daily, and there is no reason why we cannot get one.

Davie is supposed to have two weeks of court, but the judge generally spends at least seven days of the twelve at home. ThepeopleofDavie county will vote for good roads on the last Thursday in April. Whether or not the bond issue will carrv. remains to be seen. We do not see how any man can afford to vote against bond issue. We have one good road in the county, and if every man in the county could drive over this stretch of road, not a man in the county but what would vote for bonds to build more roads just like it. Let’s wake up and begin build ing roads this year. We have wait ed too long already. The Winston Journal and the Union Republican have published lengthy reports of a good roads meeting held in MocksviIIe on the first Monday in this month, which was attended by hundreds of Davie’s leading citizens. Wonder where the YVinston papers got their informa tion? Theyalsogoontostate that a big bond issue will be voted to build a good road through the county frcm Mccksville to Hall’s Ferry, conr.ecting-Davie with For syth. If the bond issue is carried in Apri1, it is very likely that a good road will be built to Hall’s Ferry, but the bond issue is not for this special purpose. T he people in other ■parts of. the county are in need of good roads as well as the ones be this point and Hall's Ferry, Sere were not more than 75 people present at the good roads meeting.

Anold bachelor says it takes more than a poms plaster to re lieve the pain generated by observ ing a 200 pound girl trying to look cute. . A woman never gets so that compliments no longer have any charms for her. They have carried onr.old friend Jordan Shutt to a sanatorium for a nervous break dowu. WheD a pretty girl gets the right "hold on au old stag, it takes some thing besides cook’s medicine to bring him around. - Miss Rose Etmmerman is right sick with measles. . Mr. Ed L Green, while white washing trees with sulphur and lime had his hands burnt and in very bad shape. Mr. W. A. Bailey has bought a nice honie at Black Mountain. Mr. Bailey is improving slowly. I am afraid if our old friend Eli Hill dou’t stay on his own side of the river, he will be butting .t.kfe skin off of some apple tree. '■ C. C.

The Davie County Good Roads Association met in the court house last Monday, and discussed a bond issue to build sand clay roads. Sena tor Grant and Representative Sheek were present. A good roads bill has been drawn upland it was read and discussed by a number of the lead ing citizens of the county. The bill will be presented to the Legislature,- and as soon as it is passed, an elec tion will be called to give the people of the county the privilege of ratify? ing it. ' The bill calls for a bond issue of $150,000. If the county de feats the biil, then the various town ships will be given the privilege of voting individually on the measure. We believe every man in the county should vote for a bond issue to build roads. Our roads are a disgrace to the county. Honor Roll.

Agt "h eRE SHALL THE PRESS, THE PEOPLE’S RIGHTS MAINTAIN; UNAWED BY INFLUENCE AND UNBRIBED BY GAIN.” VOLUMN XIV.' MOCKSVILLE. NORTH CAROLINA, WEDNESDAY. FEBRUARY 19. 1913.NUMBER 33 Stanly County’s Farmer. The Stanly County farmer has b e e n offered a three hundred acre farm for his knowledge, but he wouldent swap, A lot of people in the county will no doubt caU xne peculiar names for refusing such a proposition, but they don’t look at the matter right. What could I do with a three-hundred acre farm and no brains! I am one of those kinb who believes that brains will grow more tnrnips on a patch of ground than all the ferti lizers made under the United State sky. With three hundred acres and no braius a man would feel like the barb with out the tree, or the bark with out a dog. He couldn’t begin to put a seed iD its grave and then coax it to rise like corn meal yeast. The wise ones say that nothing will elevate man more than brains. The best far mer shares his brains with his plants, because the later haven’t any. The reason some fellows can’t raise a good crop is not be cause they haven’t any brains, but because they are too stingy to divide up with their plants. In Stanly County we are neither stingy nor brainless, which goes to prove why so few of us are starving to death. If you will look at the re cord kept by the United States Government yon will be surprised to find that during the last century not a single man starved to death in this county. I am not the only one that’s proud of this record, be cause I know you are as proud as I am. The record proves that we have brains and that we are not too tight-headed to share these brains with our growing crops. If you will stop to'figure it oat you will find that the average far mer iu Stanly county divides about three wagon loads of brains among his plants in a life time! Think of it! Fhree loads of good sound brains, and that’s the average, mind you. The Stanly County Farmer knows that he used at least four loads, and is Btiil wearing the same size had. Take all of these brains and sell them at the present market value, and you will get some idea why crops are going up. We garmers, you must remember, are not only tearing down our soil, but are also using up our brains We can build up the soil with clover, cowpeas, etc., but these crops won’t build up brains. In view of the fact that the only things we can grow on our heads are hair and lice. Weshallhaveto put in some variety that will sup ply the brain in the same way that cowpeas and clover supply the soil I heard that a man over in Europe has j UBt discovered a variety of hair that will build up a run down brains in no lime, and that this hair is not affected by droughts nor wet weather, As soon as get the lellow’s address I will send over for the seed to grow a patch between my ears. If it is a success I will sell this seed to the govern ment and have it distributed, or will putitonsale in the barber shops in this county first.. They say that a fellow with a good, level head can raise four crops ot this hair in a season, and put on enough brain fertility to regulate the United States twenty four hours and six minutes. According to there figures that will last one of us a year and five and a half mos. and the hair will still be there to fertilize. I am really glad to know that people in this world have at last gone so far as to get out a new variety of hair, AU these years we have been fooling around with a head crop that only brought benefit to barbers, and the crop has been so run down that many peo ple haven’t any on their heads at all. Wait until I get that seed! The whole United States is looking at me now. To put in a crop of this new hair all the old hair must be cut, raked up in bunches, and hauled away. The roots can be removed with dynamite or a stump puller, and the scalp must be broken for the new crop. To prepare the scalp rub your head over a potato grater and than sow the seed by baad, after it is sowed roll the scalp with a rollin pin and you’ll get an even stand. If the weather is favorable and the birds don’t get the seed, any man can raise a wonderful crop in a very short time. If you want to put in your order now, send for a color sheet and let your wife select the shade that looks best on you, but don’t lorget to enclose a money order as a pledge of good faith.—The Chronicle. Old Age. Old age as if comes in the orderly pro cess of nature is a beautiful and majestic thing. It stands for experience, know ledge, wisdom, counsel. That is old age as it should be, but old age as it often is means poor digestion, torpid bowels, a sluggish liver and a general feeling of ill health, despondency and misery. ,Tbis in almost every instance is wholly unneces sary. One of Chamberlain's Tablets taken immediately after supper will improve the digestion, tone up the liver and regulate the bowels. That feeling of despondency will give way to one of hope and good cheer. For sale by all Dealers.: - •. ADVERTISEMENT. Over $5,000 for Tobacco Crops. Winston Journal, Feb. 6th. With-the sale of 910 pounds of leaf tobacco on the warehouse floor here yesterday by Mr. J. P. Slaw- ter of Stokes county, it is believed that the last of the finest crop of tobacco grown in this Bection of North Carolina, i f not in the entire State, was marketed. The lot sold yesterday brongh t-a total of $151, being an average of nearly 50c per pound. This was the final load of a crop grown on 30 acres of Mr. Slawter’s farm this year that has netted him and his tenants the splendid total of $5,438. The whole crop, including that grown by Mr. Slawter himself, and by his tenants, brought an average of a- bont 35 cents per ponnd, the num ber of pounds sold being nearly 16,000. Inertia of the Progressives. The Progressives swept Chicago in November by a vote of nearly two to one over Taft, and by a plurality of 30,000 over .Wilson; but for the coming spring primaries they have named no candidates for three impootant city officers, and in only four of the 35 wards have they made uominations. Thedemo crats, on the other hand, have put up nominees in all the wards, and the republicans iu all , of them. This does not look as if the new party, though it carried Illinois, were making much permanent headway in Chicago. The potency of the old party names is such that the voters find it hard to shake it off. The progressives will find this natural inerria their Chiaff stumb ling block when they seek to build up their organization without the stimulus of a president campaign. —Philadelphia Record.

Necessity has com pelled experience in the case of the former, but the latter has depend ed upon some one else for this ser vice, and fortunately for the sake of society, it is rarely he is obliged to resort to the needle himself. Sometimes the patient wife scalds her right hand or runs a sliver un der the nail of the index finger of that hand, und it is then the man clutches the ^needle around the neck, and, forgetting to tie a not on the thread, commences to put on the button. It is always in the morning, and from five to twenty minutes after this he is expected to be down street, He lays the button exactly on the site of its predecessor, and pushes the needle through one eye, and carefully draws the thread after, leaving a- bont three inches of it sticking up for leeway:, He says to himself, ‘Well, if.women don’t have the easiest time I ever saw.” Then he comes back the other way and gets the needle through the cloth easy enough, and lays, himself out to find the eye, but, in spite of a great deal or patient jabbing, the needle point persists in bucking a- gainst the solid parts of the but ton, and finally, when he loses patience, his ' fingers catch the thread, and that three inches he has left to bold the button slips through the eye in a twinkling, and the button rolls leisurely a cross the floor. He picks it up without a single.remark, out of re spect for his children, and makes another attempt to fasten it. This time, when coming back with the needle, he keeps both the hread and button from slipping, by cover ing them with his thumb; and it is out of regard for that part of him that he feels around then for the eye in a,very careful-and judicious manner, but eventually losing his philosophy as the search becomes more and more hopeless, he falls to jabbing about in a loose and savage manner, and it is just then the needle finds the opening and comes through the button and part way through his thumb with a celerity that no human ingenuity can guard against. Then he; lays down the things with a few familiar quotations, and presses the injured hand between his knees, and then holdB if under the other arm, and finally jams it into his mouth, and all the while he prances and calls nppn heaven and earth to witness that there has never been anything like it since the world was created, and howls, and whistles, and moans and sobs, After awhile he calms down and pats on his pants, and fastens them together with a stick, and goes to his business a. changed man.—The Independent News.

TERMS OF SUBSCRIPTION: One Year, in Advance...........................50c Si* Months, in Advance......................:25c WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 19. ’13 The Lexington Dispatch, can rest easy for awhile. The new county of Aycock will not materialize this year. Thank goodness, the latest report is to the effect that the crop of blackberries this year will be a whop per. Thirty-two is the freezing point, not only with the weather but with old maids as well. We have manv cf them in our midst. Senator Grant has introduced a bill to amend the charter of IMocks- ville, and the measure will doubtless go. through in a few days. Since the Webb whiskey bill pass ed, it has been discovered that there is an error in it, and the bill amounts to nothing. It is mighty hard to keep old booze down, anyhow. The legislature would do well to let the railroads fix their own rates for carrying passengers. The 2\ cent rate is reasonable enough, and ■ if they go to lowering it, the travel ir.g public may have to pay more in- sfead of less. Our subscribers are constantly asking us why we publish locals a- bout those who go to Winston to shop'. The reason is plain. We want the people to know who pat ronizes home merchants, and who leave town to do their shopping. It seems that our friends are de termined that we are not to get to Washington to see Woodrow Wilson inaugurated. We could walk, but we are not going to. It hasn’t been so awful long since Coxey and his army went to Washington foot-back, and the memory still lingers. We find that our clothes wilil be a little thin to wear to Washington on March 4th, so we have decided to cut out the inauguration, and in lieu thereof to make a v>sit to our oid friend, E. L. Davis, who li ves among the orange groves and watermelon patches of Flordia. Friend Davis writes us that the melons will be ready to devour by the first of May The Record favors a six months school term and corqpulsory educa tion. It is to be hoped that the present legislature wiil give us both these measures. Another good law is one that will tax ail male dogs 1| and all female dogs $5. Should such a law be passed, the revenue derived from the dog tax would give us suf • ficient cash to run the schools six months without increasing the taxes on property. We believe the people of.the county are with us. LETTER FROM SUNNY FLORIDA. The Davie Wanderer Writes Interest, ingly of The Land of Flowers, Mr. Editor:—It is said it’s a bad wind that blows no one any good. Since the big freeze in California, our fruit aud truck growers down here are getting a great deal better prices for their shipments. Some claim as much as twenty-five to fifty per cent, better, and it brings a smile that don’t easily come off Thus far it has been another unu sual winter here. Last winter it was rainy and changeable; thus far its beer, warm and dry with but a shower occasionally. The prospects for a pineapple crop are the finest I’ve ever saw: They are Iu full bluoru now, and wiih no uuusuai setback, our growers, will be shipping the new crop first half of May. It’s a pretty sight to see orange groveH, with the tre**s yet full of golden fruit and alb the time full of blooms. My first planting Of watermelon seeds are coming up nicely, and I made sn- another patch yesterday and will plan t the last of th is wt ek. If any of you up country folks get melon hungry, and will start off down this way, I’ll promise you a feast fishing is just fine. Ed L. Jr., and I were out trolling a few hours this evening, and such a load as we brought in would make lots of them old Davie fishermen stand by and wonder. I told you I was go ing to even up old scores, and I did. While trolling this evening I saw a big old chunk lodged in the bottom of the river that looked almost exactly like oue of our big loggerhead turtles. I said, -'‘Ed, look at that big turtle.” No quick er said than done. He threw off his cap and made a dive for it, but that big nose of his got in col- lison with a big knot,' aud when he came to the surface it would have been worth anybody’s trip to Florida to have seen that nose Of course I made him believe I was honestly mistaken, or I would not be able to tell it on him. The wajuderer, E. L. D avis. OUR ROWAN CORRESPONDENT Talks About The Ground Hog and Oth er Subjects of Interest. The ground hog has come out and gone back again, but the farm ers are going on with their plowing as before, and much ol the laud looks as if corn planting might begin almost any time. But we would advise them to not be too last, the ground hog might call in some real wintery weather yet. - Rev. R. L. Brown and wife have each had a severe attack. of the grippe. Have been confined to the house since New Year’s. They are some better at this writing. The measles have swooped down on us with a prevailing influence. Nearly every child in this section has, or has had them for the last month. Two of the free schoals were closed for two weeks. We understand that at Faith they have the measles, mumps, whooping cough, itch aud nearly everything else except the smallpox and the railroad that was to have been built through there a year ago or more. It is hard to tell what the signs of the times will bring forth by the fourth of March. As soon as the convention was called to con sider the tariff, the price of cotton began to ebb. What the result will be in the next four years is more than a horse knows', and he has a head much larger than we have. O b server. Davie’s New Bird Law.

The poor and ambitious man should avoid debt as he would "Old Harry,” if that debt be for luxuries or for living expenses. One of the great curses of the South has been the dependance of so many farmeas upon a crop yet unmade for their daily subsitence. The man who would get ahead must not get in the habit of eating or wearing out things he has not paid for, and certainly must not mortgage his future for mere pleas ure or dissipation. This warning against debt does not apply, however, to debts of in vestment. Indeed, we believe in debts of this kind. If a man buy a piece of land on credit, make enough off of it to pay the interest and something on the land, and can thns furnish himself a home which may be increasing in value all the time, he should certainly do it. Such a debt is a sign of thrift and enterprise, and the opportuni ty make such a purchase is open to any man of good reputation in almonst any community in .the South. So, if a horse is needrd, or an implement, or anything which will enable him' to make enough more money than he could without it to be able to pay for it in a reasonable time, he should buy that thing, and not be afraid of the debt. A debt of this kind is an investment; one of the kind first mentioned is a burden which must be carried and from which no returu caa be ex pected.—The Progressive Parmer $1,500,OOQ Rre Sweeps Savannah River Front.

NORTH CAROLINA. WEDNESDAY. FEBRUARY 26. 1913. THE STANLY COUNTY FARMER. NUMBER 34 He Discusses Doughnuts And The Holes in Them, Along With Other Things. Albemarle Chronicle. The Stanly Connty Farmer has some mighty good news for all who love doughnuts, and this includes himself. Evar since I was big e- uough to count the stripes on graudpa’s Sunday pants, I have held out the glad hand to the doughnut. It found a place in my heart without an introduction, and we were friends from the very beginning. Long years ago when the doughnut was first introduced, people were about as shy of it as they are now of airships, but the bumble doughnut has at last come into its own. I am glad to tell my friends in Stanly county - that the Secretary of Agriculture of the United States has put his official O .K ., on the “sinker,” and not only says it is harmless, but good for the blood and health. This is the kind of science we need in our business these days. Most of those fellows under silk hats over at Washington, have been doing nothing lately but find ing fault with grub. They have found tadpoles in the butter milk, arsenic in the peas, bonzoate of soda in the pumpkins and heaves in the hay. When a fellow got down on his knees and drank pond water to commit suicide, they say that the tea he had for supper was full of bugs, and.when some hun gry fellow choket^on the napkin, they claimed he died by eating ba con or ham that had the rheuma tism. I don't see how in the name of Henry Hank the doughnut even- escaped the waste basket. It was arrested on suspicion a good many years ago, but the jury recently said that it was not guilty, know that every doughnut lover will rejoice over the iact. The Stanly County Farmer is so happy that he ate a bushel of doughnuts in his dream last night, and rode from Spain to Cape Ccd on a wire stretcher. The sensa tion was great, even though it was only a dream. But remember, friends, we don’t have to tat them in our dreams any more. We have all seen mince pie glide away into the realm of the forbidden; we have gazed longingly through the bars at the strawberry short cake; we have wept bitter tears over the grave of the long-lost plum pud ding. We shall clutch the dough nut to our bosom with grateful tears. Of conrse, it must be re membered that in these days when lard is more precious than rose juice, and flour keeps company with the man in the moon, the hole grows larger and the. nut grows small day by day. But have long found out that there is more real good eating in the holes of doughnuts than there is in quart of shaved shingles or shred ded malting. In fact, the hole is the delicious part. The biggercbe holes will be the more popular they will become. The hole is really the doughnut and what is around it is the rind. Many peo ple make the mistake of eating riuds and all when they eat dough nuts. This shows, their ignorance. The proper way to eat them is to peel off the rinds and place the holes in a small bread pan and toast them in an oven just before meal time. After the holes are toasted pick them up with a spoon and place them on the table. Nev er use a fork or you will stick hole in each hole, and then when eating time comes you won’t know which hole to eat, the doughnut hole, or the hole you made with your lork. A few of these doughnut holes eaton ijefore any meal will enlarge your CapBgftyr for other things The more doughnut hole a man eats the fuller he will get of . emp tyness. I had a cousin once (he 3 , V-'- , , , now lives in Kansas) who ate so many doughnut holes at one time, and got so empty from them, that he had to swallow himself to save his life. I had an uncle of this kind, too, but he didn’t swallow himself; he just kept on eatiiig doughnut holes until there was nothing left of him but one big round hole measuring 12x16 feet. They couldn't hold a funeral to bury him, so they just put cement around him and used him for a milk box. About Patronage. Talking about office-seekers, the descent upon Washington hats be gun. The money they will pay out here for board will equal the salary roll of all who get appoint ments for years to come. And the democratic members of Congress are tasting fully the joys, such as they are, of the victors with, good obs to give away. It has its funny side, but the pathetic side will also be in evidence. And long before the places are all filled, weary members of Congress wiil be sigh ing for primaries to decide who in Fairview Lonely-hurst shall be selected for rural mail carrier, rail way mail clerk-, and deputy lorest ranger; or else they will be advo cating the extension of the classified civil service to include everything, save perhaps Congressmen. And, talking about civil service, some one remarked that it would be a good idea to apply it to applicants for places in President Wilson’s Cabinet. It is’nt a half-bad idea, either. Knocked Into River by Train.

Kenyon succeeded in having the measure amended to become effective July I, next.

When he dives back in his winter home after seeing his shadow on the second, of February, he says to all the world that winter is not over. That’s all. Wealth Escapes its Fair Shave of The Burden. Progressive Farmer. The iniquitous character of our present North Carolina tax legisla tion, winh its unfair burden on the poor, is illustrated by the fact that while the State of Winconsin, in 1911, collected over $1,000,000 in inheritance taxes on wealth, the State of North Carolina last year collected only $5,000 from this source, while it collected more than ten times that amount through a special tax merely on the poor man’s kerosene oil. We hate de- magogism, and we wonld not -Stir up class feeling, but the plain truth is that il we make wealth bear its lair share of taxes we shall not need to increase the burden on the poor to get any length of school term we need, or anything else. The trouble with most of the good roads that have been built has besn that we seem to think they should last forever without repair.—Durham Herald. OldAge. Old age as it comes in the orderly pro cess of nature is a beautiful and majestic thing. It stands for experience, know ledge, wisdom, counsel. That is old age as it should be, but old age as it often is means poor, digestion, torpid bowels, a sluggish liver and a general feeling of ill health, despondency and misery. This in almost every instance is wholly unneces sary. One of Chamberlain’s Tablets taken mmediateiy after supper will improve the digestion, tone up the liver and regulate the bowels. That feeling of despondency will give way to one of hope and' good cheer. For sale by all Dealers. ADVERTISEMENT.

He went to a barber shop at lfilliogton last week aul had the hair and whiskers of nearly 17 years7 growth removed. v Has Lived His Life at Home. . Boone Democrat J. Larkin Wellborn, of Stony Fork, now 61 years of age, was an interesting caller at onr office Mon day. He told us that he was born and reared in Stony Fork town ship; was never even a. mile west of Boone, in his own county; never ont of the State; had never ridden on a train, bat had been to the fair at North Wilkesboiro, which was his most extended trip. He closed his remarks by saying: have stayed at home, reared my family, attended to my own bnsi ness, and guess I have been as well satisfied as many who have spent their time and means gadding over the country looking for an easier job than they had at home.77 : The Record Says Amen. - There are reports of mad dogs from all about—not only in Iredell but from numerous other points We don7t want these dogs to bite . anybody but if they must bite we trust they will confine their atten tions to that class of people who are affected with something like hydrophobia whenever it is pro posed to enact a law restricting the liberties of the dog Landmark.

Could Not Afford to Take a Paper. The following describes the man who could not affore to take his home paper: By getting hold of a foreign advertising sheet he spent one dollar writing how to keep sober. The answer being to take a pledge. He also sent fifty 2 cent stamps to find out how to raise turnips, and received a postal card reply, take hold of the top and pull. It was the same person that sent fifty cents to a fellow in the east for twelve useful household articles and received a package of needles. He is a near relative to the man who sent one dollar to find out how to get rich, and re ceived the reply, work like the devil and never spend a cent. He is also related to the man who sent five dollars to find ont how to write without a pen or ink, and the answer was, try a lead pencil. He was a twin brother to the man who sent five dollars to find ont how to live without work, and received the reply printed in one black line on a postal card, fish for the suck ers like we do.

For the past week a dozen slick young men have been raking in the coin here with a sub scription-premium scheme. They claim to be representing some farm journal, a cheap skate periodical of no standing whatever in the agricultural world, whose subscrip tion price is about 33 cents per year. They take the sucker7s sub scription for three years and throw in a 23 cent fountain pen or a quarter pair of “specs77 as a prem ium. They get the farmer7s dol Iar and that7s the end of it. He may, or hr may not, get his paper. That is of little consequence, how ever, as the paper is absolutely no good and he is better off without it. Anyway, he is stuck for a dol lar and has nothing to show for it but a lountain pen that won7t work or a pair of glasses that will ruin what little eyesight he has left if he uses them, The same crew has been operating at Tnomasville.

Keeping At It. The merchant who places adver tising in only a few newspaper is sues is sometimes disappointed that large results do not immediately follow. Modern life is crowded with in terests, people live id a hurried way, and public attention is fickle. Let the advertiser consult the new science of salesmanship and busi ness psychology. Hewili be told that nothing affects the mind like repetition. Gonstantdroppingwears away the stone that is not affected by the single hard shower. ' If a man of striking appearance passes by your place only at long intervals, yon would scarcely re coll jet his features from "time to time. If a person of ordinary ap pearance passes regularly for a short time, his face becomes firmly fixed in yonr mind. The merchant who will advertise regularly even if only in a small space will be surprised to see how the public will look for him in his regular position and be disappoint ed it he fails to appear.—Ex. .

We have not yet seen in any of the proceedings of the Legislature, a bill, resolution, or measure of any kind, introduced to in any way cnt expenses, in any department of the state government. When a man in private business finds his ex penses running ahead of- his in come, if he is a careful business man, he looks for leaks and places to curtail expenses, so as to at least do business within, his income. Not so with onr able legislators, they look for some way to increase revenues and let expenses go on and increase. If that honorable body will appoint a committee to investigate expenses in all depart ments of the state and report where retrenchments can be made, and place Hon. E. B.
