AUGUST 6, 1913.NUMBER S Bad Roads, Vacant Houses. A I. Fletcher ot Lexington in Sontberu Eoads. Tbe saddest thing that Iencoun- lered iu a11 that long journey through the mountains was an empty hOLise. A decade ago is Shelteretlas liaPPy a familY of boys and girls as any house in the laud. The head ot the house was progressive. He had ideas beyond bis°time and community. He stood tor improved methods in farming and, above all, for good roads. In 189S, I think it was he, and a few other farsighted men stai'tep a movement for a bond is sue in Grayson county Va., for road-building. I remember that our debating society took the mat ter up and as a boy I debated the bond issue question. ..Our best de baters were picked and sent out to meet rival teams in other school houses in our township to debate tbe question and one of this man’s souB was our best speaker. The light was a hard one but the bond issue failed to carry and Grayson county dropped back into the rut and has been there all these years. This man, uot discouraged, kept up the light for several years, but he gave in at last. His boys, growing to young manhood, were dissatisfied with their surroundings and he linaliy decided to leave. Today this Iiue citizen lives in an other State, amid a more progres sire people and is one of the lead ers in the county in which he lives. His boys have grown to manhood and are following in the footsteps of their father, living lives of use fulness and service. The value of this family alone to Grayson coun ty cannot be measured in dollars aud cents and Grayson lost them because she refused to provide that without which there is no lasting progress—good roads. And the home, which bad been one of the best in all the land, was nothing more than a memory in the community and the old house was rotting down. I walked around it and through it and out in the de caying unkept orchard, thinking on these things, aud I don’t believe I ever spent a more miserable half hour. It was tragedy—that’s all. That was not the only empty bouse. I noted them all along the road. Between Eoaring Gap and Sparta, in Alleghany county, I am 6ure there are, at the very lowest calculation, 20 vacant.houses, along theroadsides. Ten years ago every one of these houses, the most of them humble, to be sure, but homeB for all that, were occupied. Be tween Sparta and Jefferson one sees a great many empty houses and be tween Sparta and Grant, Virginia, there are probably 50 or more. These are to be seen right along the “big road” and no attempt is made to estimate the number of vacant houses that dot the coves and valleys of those good counties. Ashe county, instead of gaining in population in the last decade, lost 507. Alleghany lost 14. Gray- 8°n county shows a gain but all of the gain is in three or four Bmall towns which have grown up with the coming of railroads and were oot in existence when the census of MOO was taken. Every country tflWuship shows a decrease in popu lation. Bad roads alone are responsible, “ict a boyhood friend and school- mate>a physician, who, like me, ^as mi»king a visit to. home folks. e Bai(1 that he came back home to practice after he finished college aml But iu four years at the hardest work of his life, drying through aiOd over stony roads, up well nigh '^passable grades, killing h is orses and many times endangering ,18 *ife' He woke to the fact that e was killing himself and doing 18 wife ai>d babies an injustice by leBnaining there and he moved toa ®°nnty of macadam roads. He ■ is ,r-T] 4oin.1S well, living and working in dozen i had I bad farmers, ers of The- not: load the this friend3 i They fatalism i mud comfort. He went on to name a other bright young men who left the mountains because of roads, physicians, lawyers, 3rs. dentists, preachers, teach- and business men. Every one them is making good, he people of the mountains do fret and chafe under the weary I imposed by bad roads as do people of the lowlands, and very fact discourages the 13 of the good roads cause, accept their lot with a sort of sm and trudge through the , stoically, resignedly. Oc- Casio7Ually, a high-spirited, impati- t youngster, who has been away college and got a taste of the nefits that come from good roads, who has caught a vision of some thing better, breaks away, as this young physician did, from the ways of his fathers and pleads for better things, but the great majori ty of the young men of these moun tain counties are following in the ways their fathers trod, bearing the same galling load that they bore and it has never even occurred them that such a thing asa “3)35- day road” is possible. Let The Corn Harvester Do The Work. Again the South is on the eve of corn harvesting. Some will ‘ ‘blade’ ’ jnstthe same as “grandfather did,” and some will out up and shoek in the field, and let it stand until the weather renders it almost unfit for ieed, for farm stock; still others will “slip-shuck” it. In each and every case most of the fodder is wasted. The fodder is needed, 'he Corn should be cat and bound by machinery. It should be shucked, and the fodder Bhredded by machinery, all the stalks as well as all the grain should be saved. How the machinery to do this, to cut and bind the corn, to shuck and shred it, and put it into silo or barn lofts, to pump the water; to saw the wood; and to grind the grain for farm stock, and other similar work on the farm, costs too much for any one farmer unless he is working on a good, large scale, and it is not often agreeable, in the long .run, for neighbors to combine and own such. The only practical way seems to be for. one man in each neighborhood, or section of coun try, a practical man, a man who knows how to handle machinery, to purchase a complete outfit and, aBide from using it for himself, use it for such of his neighbors as may desire it; It this way a man not only secures the use of this im proved macninery himself, but can soon pay for the machinery in working for others. It is hard to estimate the value of such machin ery in' a single neighborhood of progressive farmers. Life is too Bhort, and labor too scarce; to cut and shuck corn by hand. Letthecorn harvester do this work. It is entirely too waste ful to handle the corn fodder as is customary, or to let it go to waBte as is too frequently done. Let the corn shueker and shredder save it for you. It is demoralizing on most men to cut stovewood, especi ally in summer, and, instead of shifting off that work on the otheis, let the gasoline engine and wood- saw saw up enough in three hours to last a year. If one Progressive Farmer reader in each neighbor hood will look into this matter he may see where he can, not only benefit himself, but also be of practical benefit to his neighbors. A great effort should be made by every corn grower to save all the corn fodder or forage. It iB needed for feed; it is needed for bedding, such as the stock may not eat; it is needed as an absorb ent of liquids in the stables; it s needed for “filling” for the cattle, horses, calves, sheep and mules. In all human probability, several thousands of tons of corn fodder will go to waste for lack of ma chinery with which to handle and store it properly. After this great tonnage has been harvested, shuckJ ed, shredded siloed, or otherwise stored, fed to stock, and used for for bedding, it becomes a valuable factor in the matter of manure and hiiinus, for feeding Ihe hungry soil. Saturated with liquid manure, it speedily decays and becomes food for the rootlets of the growing crops, As it-is usually handled there is no profit in cornstalks. Handled properly,“the forage is worth the cost of making the crop, A. Jeffers, in Progressive Farmer. Some Severe Sentences. Anent Judge Clark’s talk of the woman alleged to ha.ve been burn ed to death in Iredeil for the mur der-of her husband, it may be of interest to mention the sentence passed on Benjamin HeweJl, one of the Eegulators convicted of high treason and executed at Hillsboro in 1771, Hewell had been a cap tain of militia in Rowan and for this reason his sentence was more Bevere than his companions. After rehearsing his offense and ’ the causes leading up.to his trial and conviction, the judge who senteneed Hewell said: ' “That you, Benjamin Hewell, be carried to the place from whence you cq.me, that you be drawn from there to the place of execution, where you are to be hanged by the neck; that you be cut down while you are yet alive, that your bowels be taken out and burnt before your lace, that your head be cut off, yonr body be divided into four quarters, and these to be ■ at his Majesty’s disposal; and the Lord have mercy on your soul!” Some sentence that. Examining the records of Asheicoanty-DistriGt Attorney Holton found that at the March term, 1809, Judge Francis Iibeke, who presided at the court, passed the following sentence on a man convicted of burglary: ‘That the said Garter W r be fined-ten pounds; that he stand in the pillory one hourf and that at the expiration of which time both ears are to be cut off—entirely severed from his head—and that the ears so cut off be nailed to the pillory by the officer and there re main until the setting of the sun.” In the old days one-convicted of perjury was branded so that all who saw him afterward might know him. The Landmark in dines to the opinion that ear crop ping or branding would be none too severe for perjureis in this day. Certainly the punishment should be made severe- enough to lessen theoffense,—Statesville Landmark. A TRIED AND PROVED GUAR ANTEE. Man Bought a Bottle of Dodton’t Lirer Tone, Then Took It Back and Asked for His Money and Got It. A man recently tried oufrthe guar antee which D. H. Hendricks & Son, Bixby. N. G., gives with every bottle of Dodson’s Liver Tone. He bought a bottle and then went back to the drug store and said the medicine hadn’t helped him. This druggist just reached into his cash register mid took out a half dol lar, the price of the bottle of Liver Toner and handed it back to the gen tleman. But he didn’t take the money. Heowned upthat he was just trying the guarantee and,, as a matter of fact, he had. found Dod son’s Liver Tone the best remedy for constipation and biliousness he had ever-tried. “Why, he said, “my wifewouldn’t be without a bottle in the house for anything. It’s the best thing in the world for the whole family, and the medicine that I per- fer to take or to give to my children for a laze liver.”D H. Hendrcks & Son, Bixby, N. C., sell Dodson’s Liver Tone and guarantee it to start the liver with out violence. It is takingthe place of calomel everywhere. If you buy a bottle and don’t find this pleasant tasting vegetable liquid the best thing to start a lazy liver, he will hand your money back with a smile. ADVERTISEMENT. ; Tbe Gracious Rain.

Tlle Embarrassment of the Dead g* Game Sport Heveral passengers were already aboard an early morning' train when it was about to pull out from a station not far from here a few mqrqings age. In came a young fe|ow with his hat on at about 80 degrees, his pants rolled half-way to'his .knees and having'other ear marks of a dead game “spote.” Hi hajted about half -way the car, re mo|red his hat the balance of thi way -from his head and placed it ii the rack; removed his coat and bn Og it on the wall overhead turned two seats together and pro ceejled to curl up in a comfortabh position. All his movements had been very ostentations.and all th« other passengers had taken con siderable interest in the manner ii whitii he made ready for the journey. SUddenly the engine bumped a- gainst the train to couple up. The “spote’s” coat struck the floor with a great thud and sounded like an electric light bulb had burst and the other passengers didn’t know but what there had. Soon,’though, the odor of whiskey began to spread in the car. The “spote” put on his hat, gathered his coat into a bundle and made his final disap pearance from that car. As he passed along the crushed glass made a large noise and the • ‘spote’s” face turned many colors. Mothers! Have Your Childtea Worms?

A woman hired a taxicab, says The St. Louis Mirror, The door of the cab was hardly closed before the engine started with a jerk, and the cab began to pace madly along narrowly missing lampposts, traps cars, policemen, etc. Becoming frightened the woman rapped on the window of the cab and said: “Please be careful. This is the first time I ever roade in a taxi.” The chauffeur reassured the pas senger as follows: “That’s all right, ma’am. This is the first time I ever drove one!” Suffered Eczema Fifty Years—Now Well.

Tlie Secretary of the Navy will soon have to stop cruising around in search of nautical information. The many salutes fired in his honor have about exhausted the navy’s stock of ammunition.—Union Republican. If Brother William J. Bryan can not live on his salary of $12,000 and expenses per year for acting Secre tary of State, then let him resign at once, as there are several fellows in North Carolina that can make both ends meet on that amount and then have a few cents lefts. EDITORIALS THAT WE SWIPED. The Macon Telegraph says that “a girl with a split skirt will Bear watching.” She is watched, too, and she knows it, and this is the reason she wears the thing. Even Governor Foss, the Demo cratic governor of Massachusetts, who claimed to be in favor of revis ing the tariff downward is moving his blower manufacturing concern over in Canada in order to get the benefit of protection. Thisis proof that Democrat's don’t believe in the doctrine they preach. Luke McLuke says there are some things the devil is too decent to do himself so he turns these jobs over to the hypocrites The average wo man loses more sleep over her com plexion than she does over her repu tation. Some years ago a girl would not think of going down town in her night gown, but these days its dif ferent. Gharity and Children laments the fact that the women of the country seem to pay no attention to the pro tests of the press in regard to their style of dressing or rather undress ing. What do the women care what the editors say about their imodest style of dress so long as they can at tract the attention of the young men. Most of the editors are old men, at any rate they are married. Hard times must have struck Mr. Bryan right between the eyes. Be sffles being Secretary of State at i salary of $12,000 per year, he hat gone on a lecturing platform in or der to help out a little, then he has reduced his paper, the.“Commoner” from a weekly to a monthly. Mr, Bryan like every one else seemed to make more money and a better liv ing under a Republican administra tion than he has during a Democrat- ic-administration. AJerseyCity man seems really to have solved the problem of the high cost of living. He has been married several years but when the problem of maintaining a home be gan to be rather serious he broke up housekeeping, sending his wife and kids to iive with her people while he returned to his father’s home, prod igal like. He thinks he has the problem solved and we believe he has. We submit this to our Demo cratic friends who are trying to solve the problem. Itought to be inserted as a part of the Underwood Simmons tariff measure. Senators Overman and Simmons announces that they will never con sent to the confirmation of the ne gro Patterson to the position of re gister of the Treasury by President Wilson. Just think of a Democratic president, and a southern Democrat at that appointing a Qegro to a $5,- 000 job in the Treasury department, in which it is said a large number of white girls work under his direction. But it is said that Patterson made a number ox campaign speeches there by helping to swing much of the ne gro vote to the Democratic ticket. This may help to explain the unex pected action of the President in appointing the negro. It seems to be just a case of playing politics.— News-Leader and Union Republican. You’d scarce expect one of my age in merchandising to engage and hope to get a paying trade without the lo cal paper’s aid. And yet I did that very thing, I opened up a store last spring, this month’ the sheriff took the. stock and to the door he hung a lock.. Don’t view me with a scorn ful eye put simply say as I- pass by, "there goes a man who seemed to think he. had no use YorvPrinter7S ink.” There is a truth, as broad as earth, arid business men should know its worth, it’s simply this—the pub lie buys the goods of those who advertise. : ' ' News From Stanley Route One.

Every tenderfoot upon coming into this Western country has the desire to ride a real bronc. ■ This desire is usually caused by the fact that he wishes to relate to his friends in the East bloodcurdling tales aDd adventures of Western life. Now, here’s the way to get experience. First-, take at least two or three railway trips up and down the Pecos Valley for accus toming yourself to jolts and quick unexpected stops. Second, each day for a week jump from some building at least ten feet high, to train yourself to alight with mus cles relaxed. Third, take gymna sium exercise each morning, giv ing care to the development of the leg muscles and more especially to those of the neck that it may with- stand-sudden jerks. It is advis> able also to develop the forearm, for there is nothing like strong grips on a saddle horn to aid iD keeping your seat. Fourth, drink before and after each meal large quantities of some standard brand of nerve strength. Once accus tomed to jolts, able to alight with muscles relaxed, having developed a strong grip and possessing the necessary nerve, next select the horse. A medium sized one iB best for a small horse is usually very quick and slippery, while a large one is liable to fall and be uncomfortably heavy when resting on your chest. Beware of a horse that rolls his eyes and shows the whites. Rather select a meekeyed bay or black. Never consider for a moment a buckskin or a roau, for they possess great lasting pow er. Never lead or pull your vic tim into the breaking corral. Get some generous hearted cow punch er to ear him down' for you while you saddle up. Do not lose your nerve if the puncher offers to ride to the county seat to get the doc tor, minister, undertaker and cor oner. Next place roll across the front of the saddle, hobble the stirrups, wire the rowels of your spurs, test the stirrups on your saddle, seeing that they are firmly fixed; take the cinch up another notch, offer up a prayer and. then mount. Get well settled in the saddle and remember that the horn is not there for an ornament and will not come off however bard you pull. Now yell, let him go, cutting him with your quirt and jabbing with your spurs at the same time. If lucky you will stay on about three jumps. The first jump yon will lose oi.e stirrup, and as he sidesteps about fifteen feet, you will lose the other. Then as he comes down stiff-legged with his nose between his forefeet and his hind feet in the bit. your lea ther squeezerB will give away and you will find yourself flying tbrou the air and very glad that you learned to alight with muscles re laxed. Now,‘Mr. Tenderfoot, when you have been rescued from moth er earth, before yon have forgotten the glory of motion, you must take your pen in hand and relate to your friends in the Ease how you hung spurs in the worst outlaw horse in New Mexico. Don’t laugh at my errors for this is from an uneducated boy. Lightning Does Much Damage. A severe electric storm passed oyer Mocksville last Wednesday night and up in the Farmington section much damage was done. Lightning struck Frank Bahnson's barn burn ing it down, together with about 200 bushels of wheat, 13 sheep and one mule. B. B. Cornelison’s barn was also struck by lightning and destroy ed, -together with two head of cattle. In the Pino section hail did considerable damage. The window panes in James Driver’s house were smashed by the hail. So far as we can learn, there was no insurance on any of the property destroyed, and and the loss will fall heavily on the above-named gentlemen. The dis play of electricity on that night was a grand sight, and never before have we seen more lightning, Ihe cloud came from the north-east and for more than two Tiours the heavens were brilliantly lighted, with no in termission between the flashed. It is fortunate that no more damage was done. School Committee Meetings.

Nation’s Capital Swept by Cyclone. Washington, July 30,—Like a giant flajl, a cyclonic storm of wind; rain and hail whipped back and forth aeross the Nation's Capital today, leaving death and ruin in its wake Three dead, scores in jured, and hundred of thousands of dollars worth of properly destroyed was the toll rncorded in the' hurried canvass ' made when the city aroused itself from half an hour of helplessness in the grasp of the elements. Out of a blazing sky, under which the city was sweltering with the temperature at 100 degrees, came the storm, roaring from the north, driving a mass of clouds that cast a mantel of darkness over the city, . The gale, reaching a velocity of al- most-70 miles an hour, swept the streets, clear, unroofed houses, tore detached small structures from their foundations, wrecked one office building, overturned wagons and carriages in-the streets and swept Washington's hundred parks, tearing huge branches from trees and even uprooting sturdy old elms, landmarks of a century. Tonight Washington’s well kept streets, with their wealth of trees, were littered with broken foliage, roofs, debris and dead birds. FalT Kills Two and Injures 52. Lancaster, S. C.. July 30 Going through a trestle and falling 52 feet into Hooper’s Creek, between Knox and Orr, seven miles east of Chester, this afternoon about 5 o'clock, three coaches of a Lancaster & Chester mixed freight and passenger train, carrying about 140 passengers, were smashed, into kindling wood, a collored brakeman was killed outright and 52 peo ple more or less severely injured, one of whom has since died. The dead are Elijah Heath, negro brakeman, and V. H. Craft, an Anderson traveling salesman. Several of the injured cannot live, it is said. The wreck was caused by a' freight car jumping the track, breaking through and pulling the coaches with it. So great was the shock to the train that it seems mi raculous that many more were not killed outright. NOTICE. By virtue of a deed of trust executed to me by W. T.

Some Mocksville Products. ; We have a good many things to be proud of in Mocksville, and then again we have a few things that we are ashamed of. Among them are the following: A few dudes and loaferswho think they are millionaires and couldn’t raise enough cash to buy a second . hand suit of clothes. A goodly number of disgraceful sidewalks, and some streets that are worse than country roads. A number of people who send out of town for everything they purchase from a package of coffee to a thresh ing machine. A numberofpeopIewho are al ways saying something bad about the town, and knocking it to every stranger who comes in. A number of folks who are always afraid to invest any money in their hometown, but who don’t mind sinking thousands in other sections of the country.

ED ITO R S, RAiLWAYSAND PRESS ALLIED Mr. Finley, at Asheville, Dis cusses Mutual Interests of Press and Railways and Tlieir Aid in Oonununity Development. Asheville, N. C., July 24.—At the meeting of the North Carolina Press AwoolatJon In AsherlIle to-day Pres-' Uent Finley, of the Southern Railway Company, delivered an address on “The Relations of the Press and the Railways and the Value of their Co operation In Community Develop ment.” Mr. Finley pointed out the natural bails for co-operation between the prees and the railways growing out of the substantial identity of their in terests In community development and prosperity, bringing to the newspapers Idditional subscribers and advertising ind to the railways increased traffic and making it logical that the press and the railways, in their respective fields, should work in close co-opera tion for community development. He recognized that, while the newspapers ind the railways were thus natural allies in community development, it did not follow that there should not bo fair criticism of the railways, and said: “Fair and just criticism is a proper function of a free press, but criti cism of the agencies which provide the transportation facilities of the community should take acccunt of the economic conditions . under which those agenoies must work end should aim, In respect to a •factor so essential’ to community development, to be helpful and edu cational rather than being - along lines tending to create unreason ing prejudice. ‘‘Personally, I am a great reader of the newspapers. I appreciate at its full value the work they are do ing and T recognize In their editors, In many cases, the spokesmen of their communities. I do not ignore what is said in the newspapers rel ative to our policies. I always take note of newspaper criticism on mat ters that it may be within our power to remedy and all such matters are given attention so far as It may be practicable to do so.” Referring to the fact that a railway can not win the support of public opinion through the exercise of politi cal Influence or in any other way ex cept by the Intelligent and effective performance of its functions as a car rier and by its respotuiveness to fair criticism, Mr. Finley pointed out that to position can only be secure when tne economic conditions surrounding ■ its operation and the importance of its functions to development and to the enlargement of opportunity are appre ciated by the people of the com- niunity, and that this appreciation was dependent upon enlightened citizen-: uir He sPolc® of the moral-respons- Mlity of the press In this connection dud of its power, by presenting fully ®ud fairly, the economic situation of » railways and the interest of all of 6 people in their prosperity and effi cacy, to bring about that mutual «ood understanding which is indis pensable to effective co-operation. As, in an economic sense, prodiic- on is not complete until goods are P ia a position for consumption, Mr. uley spoke of the railways as crea- Mrt °f Valtle an^ as aa lndfspensable of the producing equipment of rery community and of every farmer manufacturer In it and said that ,JJtst uriticism . dlreated against In 9rs aDt* mattUfacturerB would be justas logical as againstithe railways.

Having outlined the condition which he believed be necessary to th* most effective co-operation betweeil th press and the railways for com munity development, Mr. Finley ex. pressed the opinion that ouch co-op eration waa eseantial to the fulleet de velopment and prosperity of any com munity because intelligence and trans portation w.ere fundamental factors In development, it being the ifunetloa of thn press to disseminate the first and stt the railways to provide the second. He outlined the work which the Southern Railway Company is doing to aid In the development of the ter ritory traversed by its linos, express ing the opinion that it could be said, without boastfulness, to be more com- prehenslve than similar work being done by any other railway organiza tion Jn the United Sfates. He said: "In our -work for community de velopment it Is onr poltey to oo-oper- ete OlesBly1 with individuals and or ganizations. That it may have been more effective in some looaltties than In others bas been due largely to local conditions, including the de gree of co-operation that we have received. 'We belleve Ihat it has been particularly effective In West ern North Carolina where we have participated In the organisation and activities of the Greater Western North Carolina Association, the single purpose of which is the de velopment of this part of the State. We Should be very glad to partici pate In other territorial movements or in a State-wide movement of the same kind, if carried on dlreotly un der the auspices of the State or through a responsible organization similar to that In this region. "In all of the development work that -we are doing,' we look upon the newspapers of the Sotitheast as our helpful allies. WUh very few ex- • captions®* have found them ready, ■tat all times, to publish information relative to our w;ork -and to- give space In their columns to matter that we have sent them from time to time which we believed might be helpful to their readers. They have very generously given space to the publication of our views on subjects relative to the upbuilding of the Southeast Many of the newspapers have gone farther than this and have commended our polisies edi torially.” -Suggesting methods In which the press could pe of aid In community de velopment, Mr. -FMnley spoke of the publication of matter that would be helpful to the -people already living In the Southeast, emphasizing the Im portance of farm papers and of devot ing space In the daily and weekly pa pers to information as to the best farm methods. -He suggested that each newspaper should be a •booster for the Southeast as a whole and for Its own particular community, not exaggerat ing or overstating advantages and op portunities, for the truth about the Southeast was good enugh. He sug gested that'newspaper men acting as correspondents of papers published in other localities should embrace every proper opportunity' to incorporate In CheSr news letters and despatches mat ter that would serve to attract favor able attention to their communities. Speaking of the exceptional opportuni ties for community development In the Southeast, Mr. Flnley Said: “It is a field In which intelligent ly directed efforts are sura to bring results. In no State are the oppor- . tunities greater than In North Caro lina. In no State has progress with in recent years been more rapid. The members of this Association have been among the most effective w.orkers for community development In the past and I know that your efforts will be continued. I wish each one of you tfie largest measure of success and assure you of the hearty co-operation of the Southern Railway Company In community de velopment.” Good Roads In Durham.

Farmers and others living in the rural districts are neglecting- the greatest money-making opportunity that has ever come to this section, in tailing to raise enough country produce to supply even the home markets. Eggs, chickens, meats and vegetables are selling at fabul ous prices, compared to their mar ket value of only a few years ago. Bnt the price is not the saddest part of the situation, since it is al most impossible for housekeepers if the town to secure enough coun try produce to supply their fami lies. FreBh eggs are scarce at 20 cents per dozen and good butter is hard to obtain at 30 cents per pound. Hens sell readily for 50 cents each and spring ‘chickens, when found at all, are 50 cents each. Country hams are seldom seen on the market and encumbers, ueans, cabbage, garden peas and other vegetables are shipped in trom Florida and other Southern and W estern States to supply the home inarketB. Of' course- theBe sell at very high priees, as they must'be handled by several mid dlemen and express charges paid We arenotcomplainingabout the prices, but would like to see farm ers and others ol Anson county reap their share of these high prices for products grown at home. Unless the home folks take care ot of these fancy markets, truckers from other sections are sure to come in and take away the money that should remain at home.—Wades- boro, N. C., Ansonian. •Old Time Honesty, - Tt Forest City not long ago I neard a story of a really honest man—a man who was just a little more than honest. His was not mere negative wrong, but positive good—-the heart that would not Iet- him rest until he had dealt abso lute justice to his leilow men. The man was Kev. Campbell dmith—now dead perhaps 40 years-. He had bought a cow from a neigh bor, paying him what the neighbor asked. After a few months use of the cow, Mr. Smith again approach ed his neighbor and said: J-That cow I bought from you was a bet ter cow than you represented and £ think you are entitled to $15 more than I paid you, so here is your $15.” The neighbor was astonished at such an unusual trait iu a fallow man find at first refused the money, but finally was prevailed upon to accept it. The personal touch to this story will lose something of its force if I fail to state that the noble man re ferred to was the lather ot Shelby’s mayor—Joseph C. Smith. The man who told me this story was a person of great honesty him self, but he said he had never known of another instance like that of Bev. Campbell Smith. Such men shed the holy light of noblest influence. - In upper Butherford county lived a young man of a Barber family who had not been named by his people. They called him “Bud.” So when manhood’s estate came to. to him,, he named himself “Camp bell Smith” Barber. Was not thiB the highest testimonal that one could give to the integrity of an other! Preacher Smith remained poor, but I believe this whs compensated for in a richer, finer happiness— the faith and love of his fellow men.—Shelby Highlander. ont giving trouble to anybody. . p r.

He was frugal and thrifty and accumulated a valuable estate, but nobody knows how riiuch of his labor was performed for love’s sweet sake. He had provided well' for those who were nearest of kin to him and hence the small proportion of- his estate that was left to theng at.his death. It is strange that a man who had such tender sympathy for the help less and the weak omitted one of the highest duties that comes to a Christian; namely the enlisting un dqr the banner of the King openly, and standing side by side with the Lord’s people in the promotion of the kingdom, but so it was with old Dr. McClure the gentle-hearted doc tor of-the “Bonnie Brior Bush” who literally gave his life in the service of his neighbors, but who neglected tq unite with the church. ■ .There are no conditions attached td the bequest. The board of trus tees will have the matter in their hands and do what they think is wisest and best for the Orphanage. STARTYOUirLIVER, DON’T STOP WORK An Old Connfry Doctor. Charity and Children.

The East Tennessee editors are to hold their annual meeting at Chattanooga in August. Comment ing on this fact and the country editor in general the Chattanooga Times has this to say: “The country editor is in all respects one of the mo9t unselfish patriots in the land. He is always a booster for his town and county; he isn’t always active and energet. ic, but his heart is generally in the right place. He sometimes gets‘red headed’ at his brethren of the press, and often sayB some pretty hot and hostile things, but after all is riaid he is as gentle, kind and peaceful as. the cooing dove when he is stroked the right way of the feathers. His lines aren’t always, cast in the most pleasant places, but he is generally a person who knows how to take as well as give hard knocks. He is.the most appreciative individual this side of heaven, and never fails to respond to the genuine offerings of sincere friendly interest or sym pathetic acts of encouragement arid support. Asacompositetype he is a good citizen; he has no ill grounded grouches, is long suffer ing and kind when treated right, but as George Bailey once said Of him, “he’s h— when ha gets riled.’ He never expects very much • be cause he never gets 'very much, but he is always and perennially a friend of his town and county, and a defender of ita people.' He has high ideals of living, and whether he follows the same or not, he preaches-them with all -his intelli gence from his tripod.” Children Cry for Fletcher’s I The K ind Yon Have Always Bought, and which has been In use for over 30 years, has borne the signature of and has been made under his per- 1 ' sonal supervision since its infancy. . a jIow no one to deceive you in this.

The blackberry has departed hence, but the watermelon and cantaloupe is on deck, with pumpkins to follow. Wonder how much money the gov ernment will deposit in Mocksville to help us move the cotton crop this fall? An Indian has been appointed Register of the Treasury. Seems strange to us that the President could not find an honest white demo crat to take the job. Those who are-owing us would be helping along a worthy cause by coming to the picnic Thursday pre pared to pav up. We are awful tired of making X marks after some of our subscribers’ names. Some out of town gentlemen are interested in establishing an electric light plant in Mocksville. We would be glad for them to do so. It is up to the Board of Trade to get in com munication with these gentlemen, and get them to come and look a- round. A gentleman living at County Line, a man who fought the good roads movement, has stopped his paper because we made a cross mark after his name. Sorry indeed. It may be that we will have to go out of business on apcount of this great and mighty calamity which has so recently befallen us. There will be a big trade and sales day in Mocksville the first Monday in September, and every first Mon day thereafter. Many prizes will be given to the farmers who come to town on that day. Keep your eye on The Record for further parti culars. Ligbtoing Burns 200 Bales Cotton. Statesville Sentinel. During the severe electric storm which visited the city about 8 o’ clock Tuesday evening, lightning struck the storage warehouse of the Paola Cotton mills and destroyed the building along with some nia-> chinery and 200 bales of cotton Tae loss on the cotton is placed at $13,000 and on the building and some machinery Btored there at $2,000, a total ot $15,000. All is covered by insurance, in insurance companies represented by local A Good Man Gone to His Reward. R1 J. Rollins, who was so badly hurt last Sunday week by being run over by a buggy, as told in the last issue of The Record, died at the home of his son-in-law, D. L. Belfc. j last Wednesday morning. Mr. Rol lins was Tl years of age at the time of his death. He was a member of Bear Creek Baptist church, and had been connected' with the church for more than fifty years. The funeral services were conducted at Bear Creek Thursday at 12 o’clock by Rev Floyd Fry, of this city, who is hold ing a meeting there. A wife and nine children survive, four sons and five daughters, among them being Rev. B. F. Rollins, of this city. Mr. Rollins was born in Chesterfield county, South Carolina, and moved to Davie county about threp years ago. Hemadehis home with his son in this city. He. was a Confeder ate soldier, having enlisted in the first South Garolina volunteer army, and served until the dose of the war. The death of Mr. Rollinswasashock to his many friends in this city and throughout the county. We have known him since he first, came to the county, and no better man has ever lived among us. His life was blameless and he possessed many noble traits of character: Many things can be said of him and -his life amoung us, but the greatest - of all these is the fact that he was Christian man, and was prepared go when the summons came. To the bereaved ones The Record ex tends sympathy in this, their sad af fliction. He is not dead, but sleep . eth. He isat rest. Peace to his PRIZES FOR FARMERS GIVEN BY BOARD OF TRADE.

Statesville Sentinel. There was an enthusiastic meet ing in the interest of good roads generally and of the State highway in particular, at Mocksville, Tues day. County Chairman Feimster of this county and Hons. H. P. Grier and Z. V, Long, of States ville, were present. It. is under stood that other Iredell’county citi zens were present but their names were not learned by the reporter. It will be recalled that Davie county has voted bonds for good roads and is going right ahead to grade and have them. One matter before the people of that county is to have the State highway run from Winston via Mocksville to Statesville, Iredell county has her part of the road now, or soon will have, for the entire distance of the county. Davie county is calling to Iredell to ‘‘come over and help us.” The meeting was entusiastic and largely attended and it was un animously decided that the State highway favored should run from Winston via Mocksville to States ville. The Davie county people will de termine on the exact course of the road through their county. Next to Iredell line it seems they will run the road thiough Calahaln township. Negro Wanted for Kiiling an Of ficer Caught. , Jim McCloud, alias Jim McClure, the negro wanted for the murder of Deputy Sheriif R L.

The Davie Road Commissioners met Tuesday in the new court house, and held an all day session. AU of the commissioners and supervisors were present except Dr. T. T. Wat kins. The following business was transacted: Prof. J. N. Ambler, of Winston, was employed as county engineer at a salary of $150 per month. J. A. Burgman was employed to supervise the work of building the sand-clay and top soil roads. Mr. Burgroari is a Guilford county man and built the sand-clay road from Mocksville to Ephesus, and knows Iuw to build good roads. The commissioners borrowed $15,- 000 from the Bank of Davie to use until the county bonds can be sold. The bonds will be placed on the mar ket a little later on, and it is thought -that they can be sold without any trouble. The work of surveying will begin next week. The first roads to be surveyed will be the ones from Hall's Ferry to Moeksville, thence to the Iredell county line. This road will doubtless be built first, so that we can have a better chance of securing the State Gentral Highway. The commissioners will meet again on Monday, Ailgust 18th, at which time they will buy machinery, and transact other business. It is thought that work will-begin on the building of the roads not later than the first of September. The people in the county are very anxious that work begin as soon as possible, as many of the roads are getting injttad condition. H. Clay Grubb Killed by Mistreat ed Wife. Spencer, Aug. 9.—“H. C. Grubb came to his death on the ninth day of August, 1913, at the hand of bis wife, Mrs. Emma Grubb, who acted in self-defense and who was justifi able in the act.” This is the verdict of the coroner’s jury which sat at an inquest over the body of one of the most prominent business men of this section of the State who died at 2 o'clock this morning from the effect of three bullet wounds. According to the evidence brought out, H. Clay Grubb came to his home at Churchland, just over the David son County line, late Iakt night, in toxicated and severely beat his wife, stabbing her in the back and should er, cutting her ear nearly off and in flicting numerous bruises on her body. Seizing a heavy Colt’s re- volver which lay on a tablet the frightened woman fired three times, one shot taking effect in her hus band’s breast, two shots in the abdo men. Before neighbors, who were notified, could get to the scene, Grubb had died at 2 o’clock, within an hour from the time of the shoot ing.. Mrs.1uni a. Grubb at this time is in a critical condition. In addition-to the nervous shock, her wounds are severe. She has been attended by physicians, but is not out of danger. Grubb was tried in Rowan county in 1905 for the killing of his brother- in- law, Obe Davis, and was acquitted. Grubbshothisrelative in an encounter at a church in Boone Township, Davidson county.

Spencer, Aug. 10.—A crowd esti mated at 5,000(this 'afternoon at tended the funeral of H. Clay Grubb, who was killed yesterday at his home near here by his wife, Mrs, Emma F. Grubb, who was promptly exon orated by the coroner’s jury, a ver dict of justifiable homicide being returned. The funeral was conduct ed, by Rev. V. M. Swaim, of Lexing ton, and the interment was in a pri vate burying ground near the Grubb home, where the funeral services were held. The floral 'offerings by the Salisbury Elks lodge, of -which Mr. Grubb was a member were beautiful. On account of injuries inflicted by her husband immediately preceding the killing, Mrs. Grubb was unable to leave her room to attend the fu neral. Thebody was taken to a door where.she viewed it before, it was taken to the grave. Mrs. Grubb’s condition is regarded as precarious. It was the largest country funeral, ever seen in this section. It was reported today that the pistol which Mrs, Grubb used to slay her husband was the same weapon used by Grubb when he shot and killed his brother-in-law, Obe Davis at a church gathering in Davidsen county on a Sunday afternoon sev eral years ago and for which he was tried in Rowan county and acquit ted, self defense being the plea, by which he escaped punishment. It is said that the pistol has been kept in the Grubb home since that tragic event and it seeins to be' the irony of fate that the same - instrument which sniffed out the life of her brother should be the means of put ting an end to the husband.

Plans for the extension, improve ment and reduction in rates of the parcel post have been announced by Postmaster General Burleson. The chonges, which are to become effec tive August 15th, include an increase from 11 to 20 pounds in the maxi- mam weight of parcels; a material reduction in the poftage rates in the Iirst and second zones, and the aban donment of the parcel post map as a means of computing rates and the snbstilntion for it of a rate chart individualized to every postoffice in the United States. The plans con template the purchase of a large Jiumber of automobiles to be used exclusively for the delivery of par cel post matter. While, for the present, the maxi mum weight limit of 20 pounds and’ the reduction in rates will apply on ly to the first and second zones, from any given postoffice—a distance of about 150 miles—the changes direct ed today constitute the first long step towards a universal extension of the system and a general reduc tion in the rates of postage on parcel matter. Checks of Automobile Owners Not Always Good. The Sand Clay Road is a Success. It is plain that the macadam road is a thing of the past. That is to say, no more will be built. It makes an elegant road when new, but when it begins to wear down, no successful way to repair it has been found. On the other hand we are learn ing how to build sand clay roads and they cost a great deal less, while repairs can b® made for a small sum, after which the road is as good as new. The point in building sand clay roads is to first get the right kind of material; the uext step is to build them wide enough and with good drains and if these are kept open so that the water is carried off all ,the time, the work will last a long time. A stretch in this county from GuilfordStation to the Forsyth county linejust beyond Colfax has been in hse nearly two years and it is now in the pink of condition. It was constructed of the rightly mixed and the drains have been kept open. Two men can eover many miles a day at this work. A. traction gasoline engine draws a scraper, attended by one man. We are hot sure, but probably the ser viees of these two men and Lhe ma chioe are not required over one day in the month, but what they do is the salvation of the road, for allow the side ditches to choke up and the water overflow the road and it is done for at once. It is washed away in a short time.—Greensboro Record.

Suckers Still Biting. The foreign job printer who tells the people in small towns that they can get stationery .better and cheap er after paying freiget or express generally have a string attached with which to soak customers. _ A traveling man soliciting job print ing Jor a Baltimore printer some time ago landed.an order for letter heads from the proprietor of a hotel at a nearby town. 'He made a mighty close price on the work. In fact he took the order for less than the actual cost of the blank paper, but he got something else besides the small price he was charging for the printing. He in duced the hotel man to have a cnt made of the hotel building so the picture of the hotel would appear on the stationery. For making this cut h6 charged the hotel man $37.50. The same cut could have been secured by the local printer for $ I. Yet he was getting his let terheads printed so cheaply that when the solicitor proposed . to make a ¥50 engraving for only $37.50 the hotel man swallowed the whole thing. The home fellow can generally do work cheaper, quicker and just as good as the fellow 1,000 miles away.—Ashe boro Courier. WHY NOTGETA GUARANTEE These Hens Swim and Dire. The prize lie of the season ap pears in Saranac Lake dispatch to the Sew York Sun as follows: Expert research has disclosed the reason that patients at the Foresters Sanitarium, at Bainbow Lake, have had to complain of a fish flavor in their eggs. The institution has its own poul try yard, extending to the edge of the lake, whither the ducks repair for swimming and the hens lor drink. Yesterday the keeper of the hen* got up extra early in the morning and was confounded when he saw a dozen of his hens floating on the lake in the midst of the flock of ducks. They were diving too and coming up with infant trout, which they brought to shore to devour. . • The hennery man, who is alBO a biologist, Bays it is a characteristic acquired through long association with the docks. He will segregate the hens and ducks hereafter, for, although he has no objection to swimming hens, he feels that the flavor of the eggs directly concerns his own reputation. So he says. The Fly and the Farmer. Mr. Warren H. Hooker, 0. E., Assistant Secretary, State Board of Health, writes as follows; Fliesare the weeds of insect kindom. Like weeds, riCKpnp ever accuses them of doing mu^h 'good. Q uitealot can -be said against them, however. They resemble weeds in that the£ are obnoxious, pestiferous, easy to acquire and hard to get rid of, and require work and eternal vigilanke to prevent. The fly problem has several sides. The city dweiller objectB to the fly as a guest in his kitchen and din ing-room. The farmer has all this trouble, and the further grievance of flies in the miik-room and on his livestock. The latter, the biting variety, are cousins to the ordinary house fly, but they all come from the same source—from decaying filth.

Dodson’s Liver Tone has practical ly taken the plaae of calomel. It is absolutely harmless, sure in its action and causes no restriction of habit or diet.

THE MASONIC PICNIC. The thirty-fifth annual Masonic picnic was held in this city at Clem ent Grove Thursday. Between six and eight thousand people were present About $1,300 was cleared, which goes to the Oxford Orphan age. The annual address was deliv ered by Archibald Johnson, of Thom- asviilf1, wlit.or of Gliarity and Child ren. His subject was “The Child of Today, TheMsinof Tomorrow.” Mr. Johnson is a fine speaker, and his address was greatly enjoyed bv all who heard him. Other addresses w.ere «el ivered by Supt. Brown, of the Oxford Orphanage, L. W. Al derman and T. B. Bailey. The mu sic was rendered by Grouse’s Band, and was greatly enjoyed. The con cert by a chapter of orphans was one of the leading features of the day. The pienic dinner was one of the finest ever spread m the grove The excursion from Winston brought over between 500 and 600 people, and between 300 and 400 came in from the south on the morning trains. The cloudy weather kept many country people at home. The crowd was orderly and well-behaved. Only a few people were drinking and but one arrsst was made. The d;-..v was well spent by .the large crowd present, and all went away feeling that it was good to have been here. ^ first Sunday in August, wish them a long and happy journey through life.

Twoyearsago the IOth day of August, I was in dear old Davie on a visit to relatives, boyhood friend:;, my old playgrounds and home of my father. I was both happy and rad on that good day. I saw at the Ma sonic picnic lots of old friends ; nd acquaintances and relations that I may never see again, though I wouSd love to be at the Masonic picnic this year. Iknowsowell its purpose. I am the oldest Mason in the State I think, if tliere is not one over fifty- four years. I was first made a M i son in old Olive Branch churchyard, when old Bro. Mills came there with a little bunch of orphans from the Orphans Home at Oxford. I sub scribed for a little paper, the Orph ans’ Friend. I was raised without a father, and in a time when poor children could get but a very limited amount of schooling. I got as far as baker in the old blue back speller and as far as long-division in Davies arithmetic, but orphans homes treai them better in latter days. Later on when I became 24, or as soon gs I had established myself worthy, I was ,made a true Mason in the dear old State of North Carolina, at Ashe ville, in old Mount Herman Lodge No. 118. Later leaving there and coming "west to Oklahoma, I was not satisfied with what I learned in the Blue Lodge, and I applied for mem bership in the Scottish Rites body, and I am proud to say that I have so conducted my life in all my pur suits wherever I have been, that I was permitted the honor of going as high as the 32nd degree, of which I am proud to possess; Masonry, when lived up to strictly, will make a Christian out of a man.' We are do ing a great work in Oklahoma edu cating orphans and taking care of old folks. We will all have our re ward for the good we do while the days are going by. I hope to be able to attend another picnic at M ocIje- ville before I am called up yonder, but if I never do, don’t neglect the little ones; You will find herein ;; life preserver.

Hartman, of. ! he Hoard of County Commission ers of Davie county, appeared be fore the Board of County Commis si nners of Forsyth county yesterday afternoon and asked for immediate action in the matter of the two coun ties jointly erecting- a modern steel bridge over the Yadkin river. ' No action was taken yesterday, although the Davie county men insist ed -that an order be made at onee for for a survey of the land at the river where the bridge is to be built so that plans and specifications may be prepared without any delay. A motion was made that the two hoards again jointly take up the matter on August 25th for further discussion or definite action as the case may..be. This motion met with the disapproval of C G. Bailey wlw declared that all the necessary dis cussion has been made and that the law is clear on the matter and that steps should now be taken in build ing the bridge and stop talking bout it. Tiie Davie county men say that the law-provides that the bridge shall be built with money secured by a tax of ten.cents on the taxable property in the two eount.ies. Coaimissioners Waddill and Rober son thought lhafif that plan were followed out that it would virtually ro.ean that Forsytli fcounry will al most pay for the bridge by itself as iha !-mperly valuations in Davie are somethin}? over $4,000,000 while in !fiis county they aggregate about $‘20 .OOO.OWLsyhieh means that Davie would pay abou t $000 on the bridge am! this county about $20,000, it is .--,iiid. Commissioner Mickey was in favor of building the Davie coun ty bridge at. once and so expressed himself. The Davie county men apparently were deeply interested in the earlv erection of the bridge and they will probably make another strenuous effort to have the work done im mediately at the joint conference which tvill be held the 25th.

Ot all my many .bad habits, I think procrastination was the very worst I used to put things off and quiet my conscience with the easy excuse that another time would answer every pur pose, or that, if circumstances had been easier, I would have done It In time enough. I had a startling realiza tion of the strength of this bad habit one day when serious consequences had resulted; so I determined then and there with all the foroe of my will that I would break it up and rout my enemy, foot and horse. Idttle did I dream of what was before me. I tried—Qod knows how I tried!—but the habit was victor more often than ! till at IaBt one night after .I had gone to bed almost in despair over my many defeats, like a flash came back to me the psychologic basis of habit making: that our habits are paths' running through our brain. With that thought in mind I began intelligently to combat my foe. The rules I worked out for break ing my bad habits are these: Since good habits are as powerful as bad ones, I determined to replace my bad habit of procrastination by the good one of promptness. In fact, to let the old pathway disappear for lack of use and to develop a new one. That this new pathway might soon become strongly marked by much use, I made important engagements that must be carried out on the minute or not at all, plans In which an instant of delay would result so disastrously that I shuddered at the thought I never allowed an exception. I set every ounce of will power I possesed against one sllpback. If I said at night that I would get up the moment my watoh said seven o’clock, I got up, even though the town clock had not yet struck the hour.' After a time, as I gained my victor ies,-1 devised all kinds of things as a test of my growing power of prompt ness; things that were not at all nec essary, such as completing a book in a certain time, arriving on a specified corner at a definite moment, or reaching an appointment one minute before the appointed hour. Thus I practiced my new habit every possible opportunity. After many trials I observed that my will was having an easier time than before, until, In the course of a year and a half, prompt ness was so much second nature to me that I never thought of procrasti nation.—Lucia Bosley, in the Ameri can Magazine. School Seats Deform Youth? Dr. J. W. Sever, an English surgeon, urges that school desks should leave room enough for the knees, and should be low enough so that the el bow and forearm may rest comfort ably on them without bending the back. The slope of the desk theoretically should be about 30 degrees, but as that is too steep an angle to allow books and papers to rest on it, with out sliding off, a compromise angle of from 12 degrees to 15 degrees has been selected. The seat should be no wider than the width of the hip, for wider seats predispose to slouchy attitudes. It should be about two-thirds the length of the thigh. It may or may not slope very slightly backward, but this Is of no great Importance. Any great slope is distinctly bad. The height from the floor should be such as to allow the feet to rest equally and comfortably on the floor, A seat of too great breadth, as well as ’ one of too great depth, compels bad postures. The seat should have a back which supports the IumbK spine when sitting, at work, As well as at rest. , Smile Means Much. ' “The smile is one of the greatest assets of the successful Salqsman or saleswoman," says the manager of a department store linen department. "It makes friends for the store as readily as do moderate prices and good goods. "The ability to smile for Mght hours a. day is a trait hard to acquire and possessed by few store help. Yet it can be gained by constant practice— the watching of oneBelf and not per mitting at any Ume the slightest indication of a frown. “I recall my first purchase in a New York department store. I was direct ed to the counter where I could find the special article of my choice. I was met by a gruff ‘What is ItT from the salesman. I recall I said, ‘Noth ing,’ and I haven't been In that store since.” Too Good to Lose.

Oxford TTnlversity Is composed of twenty-one colleges. Among the lar gest of these Is the one that, although It has stood for 500 years. Is still called "New.” It was built a hundred years before the discovery of Amer ica by William de Wykeham and was an expression of the most advanced ideas of education entertained In his day. So far aa ths architecture and plan of the building are concerned, the five centuries that' have since elapsed have suggested but little that is better. EngliBh and American col lege builders still follow de Wyke- ham’s model. The undergraduate In de Wyke- ham’s time, In order to obtain his B. A.,degree, studied the loglo of Por phyry and Boethius, something Of Aristotle, and enough of arithmetic to enable him to find Easter. Three years more were usually spent in studyhig geometry, astronomy and astrology. He lived In college. His allowance of, money waB one shilling a week. His breakfast was a piece of bread and . a pot of beer at dawn. Hisa din ner was eaten at IO In the morning. He was given one suit of clothes yearly. Three times a year each stu dent was required secretly to tell the masters of the misbehavior of his fel lows, who then received “competent castigation.” The rules laid down by de Wyke- ham prohibited visits to taverns or 'spectacles,” the keeping of dogs, the playing of chess and other “noxious and illicit sports, shooting with ar rows or other mlssileB, dancing, run ning, wrestling, or- other incautious and inordinate amusements.” The only recreation permitted was the .assembling around the fire on win ter nights to indulge In "singing, or the reading, of poeps and chronicles of the realm and of the wonders of the world.” The college was summoned to dim ner by two poor scholars, who ran around the quadrangles shouting In bad Latin and French, "Tempus est vocandl a manger, O seigneurs!” The "seigneurs” were obliged- to eat In absolute silence. The True Business Man. Your true business man is no nar row accumulator of riches, no piler up of bonds and clipper of coupons. He is a promoter of all that goes to make peaceful relations between men and. empires. He strives not wholly for his own. selfish ends, but for public ones.

He takes an interest in everything that is of in terest to that community, knowing that his efforts are sure to bring their suitable reward. Tora buslness man of Boston Pier- pont Morgan said not long before his death: "My aim is to help build up our .country and make our securities so sound that the people of foreigh countries will feel compelled to invest their money in them.” Said Wendell Phillips of' a noted Boston, merchant, whose funeral ora- tlon he pronounced: ‘It was not what he gave away that marked ,him. Others give liberally— our merchants have open hands. He not only believed the universe was sunny; he brought sunshine with him when he came. HHs hand was stretched out to spread the ideas which bear Beed for the future, whose value few see, whose influence, many dread.”—Boston Globe. Island Cote for Man Birds. Kaiser Wilhelm has hit upon a plan to turn a tiny island In the North Sea into a rendezvous for Germany’s great airship fleet. Heligoland is one of the most curious Islands in the world. It belonged to Great Britain 20 years ago, but was given to Germany in exchange for Zanzibar. The towering cliffs of this lsfind are largely artificial. It was discov ered that the heavy seas were honey combing them and the island threat ened to be entirely swept away. The German government spent mil lions Ot dollars In pouring cement into these crevices and preserving this strategic point. In addition, it was formidably armed and the utmost se crecy is maintained as to the strength of; ItBiYdftiflcations. Visitors are not permitted to land except In the xtuffy little town at the base. They are forbidden to scale the .bluffs whereon the armaments bristle and where gigantic stores of powder are maintained for the imperial fleet. This island is said to be prepared to withstand a siege of three yours. Enforce Cigarette Law.

The lobby investigation now goi“g ou in Wasaington is re vealing some things that go to prove tlie truth of this statement.

It is ' in. accordance with human nature that when an olliee holder has no fear of displacement he becomes bold in the things that under other con ditions he would fear to undertake, Tbesame thing is true of any poor weak mortals after all. The Deinoeratie party in North Carolina needs a fright. It is drunk with power. Because our leaders were afraid of giving offence to a certain class of citizens nothing has been done to relieve the financial situa tion, and the last legislature, in stead of remedying the evils in our very inelMent system of taxation, simply issued bonds to pay the debts the state owned, and made no provisions whatever for the raising of revenue to meet the steadily increasing expenditure. It is all folly to say that nothing can be done. Something can be done, and something must be done; but it i9 a great deal easier to do tbe thing that is right and neces Eary when the legislators are scared than when they are perfectly com plaeent. If the two parties in this statewere more evenly balanced yon would see a very different sit uation. For the very reason that the parties in the government of Oreat Britain are a constant check on each other, that government is much more responsive to the will of the people than ours.

When it comes down to a ques tion of dress, a writer in the Wesleyan Methodist, of Syracuse, New York, says: If girls had a faint idea of the disgusting sight they present or could hear some of the unmanly, disol uie remarks made about them as they pass along the streets clad in transparent waists, or one of those short, outlandioh tight-grip ping, hobble skirts, they would feel so ashamed that if they had, a spark of virtue left in them . they would go to their r«omB and get out of sight somewhere till they had a sensible dress to put on. How can they expect people to dis tinguish them from the low and corrupt if they dress exactly like them?- Never in history were the modes so abhorrently indecent as they are today. One may make the closest study of costumes through the prints and drawings and sculp tures of five thousand years, and find nothing to equal the shameless styles worn unabashed in the erowded streets and summer resorts of apparently respectable girls. Running For Money. Not often do you find a caudidate iu politics frank and candid en ough to tell tbe reason why he is running for office. Usually he would have the people believe that he was dragged into the race by “mauy voters,” when as a matter of fact the voters never go out and look for a candidate, but candi dates on the other hand go out and look for tne voters. A central Ken tucky man put the following card in his'paper: I am a candidate for the-office of jailer, not for the. sentiment of glory, but for the money there is in jt. Was not asked to run ,by Many Voters, ‘Many Democrats,’ or anyone else, but am running on my own responsibility. Haven't a blood relative in the county; do not nor will hot belong to any clique. Am not goody good or tin saint; have my faults, as most people have, but if elected to the responsible positions of jailer will guarantee to care for the county’s property in the very best posssble manner,”—Cleveland Star. Moore County’s Experience. In Moore County land is selling now for fiive times what it could have been bought tor before the advent of the sand-clay road in that section. And the example of Moore county is being generally followed by the adjoining counties so that within a short time the whole Ban'dhill section will be as attractive for its good roads as any part of the eastern states. Now. we do not believe that good roads are entirely responsible for the great increase in the value ot Moore county lands, because the com paratively new knowledge of how to make the sandhill Iind produce big crops and the discovery that it is a-fine fruit sectien has largely affected the price. However, prices would never have reached anything like what they are unless the roads had been improved. — Charlotte Chronicle.. Judge Cooke Lively as Usual; His Remarks in Wake County. Judge C. M.

John Butter, the colored porter at Hotel Morgan, had an experi ence Friday night that he will not soon idrget. John had returned on the excursion from Norfolk that day and had not fully recovered from the effects of same. He was on his way home in the Jonesboro section about dark. ■ There is an old well near the road and as John wa:s somewhat unsteady on his legs, he found the well, which is about 20 feet deep, and remained in the same about four hours—until some of his friends who were passing heard distress signals.

You have probably heard dozens of times the old story that a drug store was a place to ‘'get something just as good.” There is at least one druggist in the world that you can’t say this about. It is certain that an inferior article will never be substituted for a guar-, anteed one by D. H. Hendricks & Son;, Bixby,N. C. Take for instance a safe, reliable remedy for constipation and liver trouble like Dodson’s Liver Tone. This harmless vegetable liquid has proved so satisfactory a liver stimulantaiid reliever of bilious^ ness, and to entirely take the place of calomel without any danger of re striction of habits or diet, that there are dozens of preparations springing up with imitations of its claims.But Dodson’s Liver I one is guar anteed to do all that is clamed for it, D. H. Hendricks & Son, Bixby, N. C, will hand your money back with a smile. Any person going to this store for a bottle of Dodson’s Liver Tone will be sure of getting a Iarpi bottle of this genuine remedy in ex change for his half dollar.ADVERTISEMENT. The Freedom of; Young Girls. Fayetteville Observer. • Twenty-five years ago it was con sidered very bad taste, to Bay the least, for ladies to walk the streets at night unattended. But the times are changed! Now little girls and big girls promenade the streets, go into the StoreB and ice cream saloons and even attend shows with no chaperon or person of mature years. If there come no worse results, we believe that such liberties allowed girls will not only engender in them a distaste lor home, but that in their days ol womanhood the word home may mean to them sinipljr a boarding and lodging house, - But other and far worse results are apt to follow in the wake of. unrestrained free dom of young people to go and come as they choose. Let parents consider these things. . Zeb Vance, Jr. Farmer Zeb Vance, the youngest son of the late Senator Z. B. Vance and retired officer of the TJ. S. A., haying established his apple farm at Black Mountain, is now tickling the soil at Alexander, in a pocket between the French Uroad and a mountain top. He does not say that he has any aspirations in that direction, but his friends are look ing forward to the day when he will blossom out as a fell-fledged professor in farm - demonstration work. He even now knows how to plow a bull on a mountain-side and still retain his church member ship.—Charlotte Observer. Mothers! Have Your Children Worms?

Our farmers are too busy to spend a week in town just at this time of the year. beIf the sales and trade day to held in this city next Monday is success, the same will be kept up. It depends on the farmers of the county as to whether it will be con tinued. The Record tries to be accurate in giving the news. Sometimes we are misinformed and print mistakes, but we are always glad to correct them when our attention is called to same. The editor does not claim to be fallible. in- Remqmber that next Monday is sales and trade day in Mocksville. Every farmer in Divie county is urged to come to town on that day. A large number of prizes is being of fered by the merchants and business men of the town. When the North Carolina IegisIa ture meets in special session next ^month1 there are several matters of importance to be threshed out.

On charges growing out of the closing of the doors of the East Bend Bank a few weeks ago, the Yadkin county grand jury yesterday returned two indictments—one against Cashier J. Lee Norman, charging embezzlement, and the other against Mr. R B Horn, who is charged, it is said, with aiding and abetting the cashier in embezzlement of funds of the bank and in making false entries on the books of the bank. Boiids in the sum of $5,000 were order ed by the presiding judge and Cashier Norman furnished the required bond. Mr. Horn is understood to be in Lynchburg, Va.,. but is expected to arrive here at any time and WiH readily furnish the bond as soon OS the papers are served on him. A special to The Sentinel from Raleigh this afternoon states that the Chardes £- gainst Mr. Horn are principally that Mr. Horn and Cashier Norman “kited" checks and resorted to various means of using the funds and credit of the bank for the furtherance of their personal interests. Among other things, it is alleged, there is a letter to Cashier Norman from Mr; Horn, which was found by the examiner, in which Mr. Horn enclosed a check signed in blank, with instructions to the cashier to fill i.t in for any sum needed to the ex tent of ten thousand dollars in the event he should have “a visitor," meaning, the authorities claim, in the event a bank examiner came along and the condition of the bank needed^that much to make its condition such as to satisfy-the exam iner as to its sound condition. The bank being a state institution and therefore subjece to the state laws, the case will probably be taken up in superior court of Yadkin county at' the next term of court. Thaw Captured. Harry K. Thaw, the murderer of Stan ford White-on Madison Square roof garden in New York seven years ago, is again in the lime-light, having made a sensational escape from-the ins ane asylum at Mat- taewan, near Poughkeepsie, N.

The fashionable woman may now !tint her complexion In any tone as easily as she may assume a toilette In that color. One manufacturer is show ing face powders In shades called vio let yellow, emerald, old rose and ashen rose. These new tints are recommended only for evening wear, as It is gener ally admitted that they would be too grotesque for daylight. The amazing thing, however, is that they really look well on the skin, and when ap plied give only the faintest sugges tion of shadowy color. Thus, when the mauve powder is i.sed, the shad ows have a sort of purple bloom, which is rather becoming and lends softness to the face, accentuating In small de gree the expression of the eyebrows and eyelashes, and also intensifying the color of the eyes. The purple tint is usually recommended for bru nettes with blue or gray eyes. Yellow powder is flattering to blondes, who need to intensify the yel low In their skins to correspond with the shadows cast from golden hair. This lntensifles the type and makes it much warmer looking, therefore much harmonious than if the face were tint ed with either white or so-called flesh- colored powder. The most difficult of all the new shades to conceive as having .a place among beauty applications is the green powder. But through demonstration it is proved that certain types of col oring look well with the green tint, notably ashen blondes who have the reflection of green lights from the hair. This is also recommended for types too florid, whether blonde or brunette. It is said to give a cool, clean look to such skins. The rose color is not at all the old fashioned flesh pink, but a sort of salmon tinted old roBe. This is a color which would he well suited to a neutral brunette, as it would warm the type, giving body and a look of strength to the skin and a consequent —healthlike flush. It is an interesting fact that these new cosmetics are made from powder bf real pearls, a discovery of somewhat recent date, though for some time in quite current use in Paris. Woman May Fly Ocean, Miss Ruth Bancroft Law and her brother, F. Rodman Law, are to try a flight across the Atlantic ih a biplane. They expect to make the trip in July. “The flight will be from Newfound land to the Irish coast,” said Mis.s Law today, “and I shall take my brother. I do not think there is the slightest doubt that we can do it. We shall carry no pontoons or boats, but under the wings of our machine we will have three floats of hollow tin, so in case of a fall the apparatus will float. “Boats would be' too heavy to carry, and in case we fell they would be of no use in the ocean. Then, again, by not carrying them we get away from just so much weight. We shall have to carry from 90 to 100 gallons of gasoline, and this will be enough for about 30 hours’ flying. We expect to make 100 miles an hour on our way across. Lord Northcliffe has offered a prize for the successful flight across the Atlantic, and We are after it.” Light Plant Runs Itself. An automatic electric lighting plant, designed for private house use, is mounted on two cross girders for con venient portability, and’comprises an oil engine, dynamo, automatic starting switch and water tank. The small battery also supplied has a capacity much below that of the charging plajit. The apparatus is so designed that while the battery is charged and not at work the engine is at rest, and it continues at rest while the lamps turned on are being fed sufficiently by the stored current But when the battery voltage falls below a certain point the automatic switch sets the machinery in motion. The starting current—quickly cut off by a time-limit circuit breaker—turns the dynamo, and this starts the engine, which runs as long as needed. When the lessened use of current permits the battery to become suffi ciently charged the switch stops the engine.

ALL FEAR THE MANTIS INSECT, FOR ITS SIZE, HAS NO EQUAL IN THE WORLtt Remarkable Attitude of Prayer While In Wait for Prey Has Made It Unique Among Creeping Things of Earth. Most persons know the praying man tis—that large, greenish, grasshopper like insect which holds up adoring arms as if venerating some deity of the woods, or making an invocation—■ an oracle among insects, as the old Greeks thought it But these atti tudes of prayer conceal the most atrocious habits; these supplicating arms, to fall into Fabre’s picturesque phrasing, are lethal weapons; these fingers tell no rosaries, but exist to seize the passer-by. Although a mem ber of a vegetarian family, the mantis feeds exclusively upon its living prey. It is a tiger in ambush; and if only it had sufficient strength its ogrish ap petite and its horrible facility of con cealment by color and-form among the green leaves where peaceful insects travel would make it the terror of the countryside. At first glance it does not look very terrible. Its neck is flexible and it can turn its head and 3ooi,with sharp eyes in all directions, but no formidable jaws affright a victim. In its power ful uplifted forelimbs lies the hidden danger, the cruel trap. Each long thigh, shaped like a flattened spindle, caries on the forward half of its low er face a double row of steely spines, alternately long and short; and three needlelike spikes, longest of all, rise behind the parallel rows, between which the fore leg IieS when folded in “prayer.” This fore part of the. leg is similarly armed, but with smaller spikes, and terminates in a hook with a blade like a pruning knife and a tip as sharp as a needle! Handle the insect incautiously, and tliis arma ment discovers itself to you instantly, thrusting its ne'edles and blades into your flesh, gripping you in a stinging vise and forcing you to crush it to get free. . ’ When the mantis is in repose these weapons- are folded and pressed against the chest, ,showing nothing of their ferocity. The bandit’s sword is sheathed and it seesms at its devotions. But let a victim come within reach and the ruse—if ruse it be—is abandoned like a flash. The three long joints of the deadly forelimbs straighten and shoot out their talons, which 3trike the victim! like the unsheathed claws of a cat and drag it back be tween the saws Iof the thighs. The vise closes with sin upward motion, as a man would brirag his hand up to his shoulder, and no cricket, grasshopper, beetle or spider can struggle out of the crook of tliat terrible elbow.—- Harper’s Weekly.} Only Six in ThomasviUe Able to Own Automobiles.

He didall he could for me, but I got no better. I hurt all over, and I could not rest At last, I tried Cardui, and soon I began to improve. Now I am In veiy good health, and able to do all thy housework." T A K E The W om aiftTdnic You may wonder why Cardui is so successful, after other remedies have failed. The answer is that Cardui is successful, because it is composed of scientific ingredients, that act curatively on the womanly system. It is a medicine for women, and for women only. It builds, strengthens, and restores weak and ailing women, to health and happiness. If y<5u suffer like Mrs. Fincher did, take Cardui. It will surely do for you, what it did for her.
