V ince n t, in P rogressive F a rm e r. T h e y a re all my- friends, and I hope th e y always will be, these yo u n g fa rm e r folks. One reason w h y I th in k this will be so is be cause I a m trying not to die at the to p lik e so m e big old tree in the w oods. No use of a man’s doing th a t: just k e e p close to the young p eo p le, love them and take, an in te re s t in what they are doing, aDd yo u w ill never grow old, no matter h ow w h ite your hair is. That is m y re c ip e for keeping young. W o n ’ t y o u all take it, young friends of th e Progressive Parmer! And I like to think of what Borne of these young farmer menand-wo Hien1Ste doing to make the world better. Have you thought that every good, thorough, wholeheart ed thing you do does help to make the world a little bit better! It may be just growing a better piece of corn than the old place has ever 6een. It may be building a house for the poultry, so that they will be more comfortable and happy, and give you back more eggs than they used to do. One of these young farmer men I know has done a noble work, all by himself. His father went on his last long trip a few years ago, and the boy shouldered the farm burden like a man. He had his mother lor his partner and they two have made the farm buildings over, fixed up the fences, improved the land so that it.produces more, and developed a dairy'that' uiffkes the best butter of any in the neigh borhood, Worth while, wasn’t it! But the best of it iB this: While he has been making over the olff farm, he has been working away with his books, keeping up with a young cousin who went away to the State Normal School. I know it was a severe trial to him. that he could not go with his eousin. If we could have been in that home while he ai d his mother were talk-' iug it over, I have no doubt we would have heard some words of sorrow because it did not seem ad visable for the young fellow to go; but the sorrow did not last long; never does with a young man who has the fire of a big purpose in his heart; and so he got some books and put every spare moment into them, besides practicing every day: for a little while on the organ, for he loved music dearly. And they have made their home a little lighthouse in the community, shin ing out courage and good cheer and iuspiiation to the other young men who are watching. Another young man I knew took a course in teacher training . and thought he would spend his life that way; but after he had tried it awhile be Baid one day, “I can’t doit, Father! It’s too much like State’s prison for me. I want to bs out round the farm. Ilik eth e aaimals—they’re bo honest! I’m comiug back to the farm and we’ll make it the niceBt - farm in the country,” So he went back and has made good. Ihe capacity of that farm has been more than doubled - in every way. They keep fully twite as many cows and they are the best COwb ior miles around, testing high as pure breds and Tnaking ex cellent butter. The poultry busi ness has grown till now they have mure than I OOO hens and about 1,500 little chicks coming on. It certainly is making the world bet ter, isu’t it! ®ut not all the farrneo young folks I know are men. A Tew miles from my home iR a yoorg woman who is taking her end of the farm work gradually Io the rOnt. Her husband is not very well and she has done almost ev erything in the line of farm work herself, even to riding the- mower and loading hay on the wagon. She makes the butter for a dairy of 10 cows and markets it herself. Just nowshe is taking not IeSs than 10 jars of butter, each with five pounds, to the city every week six miles away and delivering it alone. In the season of fruits and vegetablesr she has still more of this kind of work to do. for she has many calls for apples, plums and garden Btnff. If you could see the turnips she takes to her customers, you would understand how it is that people want them. Every one of them she washes with her own hands till they are as white as snow. And I must tell you about the butter. One lady told her very seriously, wI- don’t likeyour butter!” That was a bitter thing to hear. In surprise she asked “ Why! W hat ' is the matter with . it!” Then with a smile the lady went on, “It won’t keep at all! We use so mueh more- of it than of any butter" we ever had before!” What u nbound her heart gave at that! And the se cret of it! You know, don’t you! It is in doing everything the very best way possible. . I have wanted to speak of some of the other young farmer folks I know; but time will not permit. I just want to add that what these friends of mine have done, any one can do. It all depends on what is in.the heart. I know sometimes it seems as if the way were shut up to us so we cannot see through to tne beautiful things we^ would like to do. W hat is the use of dreaming, then! We never can iieach ^hweiidcWB- . wtmffivlike tgy But really, tfiat is nbt the Srave way of looking at it. Let the vis ion of the greatest and the grand est possible things rise before your eyes when it will. Keep it stead ily in mind and say to yourself. I will make' that come true!” Yon can do it. Thousands have had a harder way to go than you have and have made good. That way! Think. Read the best books and. papers. Never were better papers published for the farmer than now. Get in touch with men and women in your Io- caiity who are doing great things. Catch something of their inspira tion.' Rind out what the soil of your farm -will grow to best ad vantage. Make a study: of the art of marketing. Be patient with nature. Build up the fertility of the soil, Pnt your best into every crop you grow, ..and never think that you have reached the top of the ladder. The .rounds will rise the higher yon go, and every one you touch will be'easieff than the one below.

Shadow—None Envy H im ,- Exchange. - Itis Saturday night and the editor has closed his desk- after a busy week’s work.'The office help, happy in their prospective Sunday of rest and with their week’s, pay , have all gone home,-and they are planning for the enjoyment of God’s blessed Sabbath day of rest in the bosom of their family. The editor is tired. His weary weekly grind shows on bis face, his heart is heavy and he closes his desk with a sigh of relief as he contemplates a day’s respite—the considerate gift of an'Omnipotent God whom he serves. Sunday will be a great recreation in his life, for he will spend it with his devot ed wife and children. > As he passes out of his private sanctum he catches a . glimpse of his picture in the mirror a-nd notes that he is older and grayer tbanbe seemed to be a week ago. The grind of his duty has left its im print—he -is being hurried on to that bourne from which no fravel- or ever returned. An editor’s work is a ceaseless, endless task, but he canndt stop and when “ thirty” is called 'by the great Pressman of Eternity, the old edi tor lays down his pen and another takes it up, and the world moves on. , - The editor is the maker of fame and reputation for others; he turns on the illuminating glare of the searchlight of truth that calciums the pathway to honor for one and the ignominy of disgrace for tbe Hfyen of America’s very, highest other, but he bjiries his own, i adfc JHcjssd-TihysiciauSj-Who were con • il ■ — - r cdU bH w o n ra r/Iliir r ' IY n rlc n n lo Tviim i Christian chureh, whose purpose is fo destroy these Sabbath school apportnnitiesT and work a total wreckage'of the public school. He realizes .,that Roman Catholicism -has issued tne Papal mandate and that tie.machinery of a great po litical’band of conspirators, mas querading under the cloak of re ligion, Rasbeen set in motion to tear dawn-the intellectual hope of three fourths -ol the children of Anieri^ and to rip from the Iovir ing embrace of all who;cherish the Word of God, the sacred Bible. Hftknpws that in all vast Amer-. ica, but a: few papers are arrayed in battle against the giant Octopus, the tiatho’ic Hierarchy, and he wond|rs if the .people appreciate the uneven fight that he and his eonfrerersare Waging. Fellow Ameiieans, can yon feel this '-aswe do, standing on the fir ing Ijne of a great warfare against religipus and political oppression by sfpaper on one side devoted to the'Qpeff Bible and -Free Schools and pne of the most unfeeling and despotic agencies of the devil back ed by unmeasured power and -un limited wealth on the other! Still we must fight on, and trust to yon for'the outcome. 7 HiGH-PRICED ■ - DOCTORS 0. K. IT. All A pprove Dodson’s. Liver Tone as the :'Safe Family Remedy for Con- { stipationandL azyL iver.

As the tired editor turns wearily from his sanstum and passes out of his office, he wonders if his work is felt as his heart would have it realized in the sympathies of his readers scattered under varying conditions of society in every part of the American world. He won ders “is the struggle worth while!” and his shoulders bend a little nearer the ground to which editors and kings, popes and potentates must all eventually bow. And the littleness of his influence Bits before him and he feels like giv-. tog up- - ' After all,” he says to himself, “am I making a fight that my countrymen will appreciate!” He passes the old hillside on which rests the rude log hut in' which he Was born, and a little beyond is the rude "meeting house ofthe forefathers in which he heard the word of God as it was expoun ded by the country minister of rugged unpretentious faith.

Over across the old hill#is the village school house—where, with Qack knife and blueback spelling book, his boyhood days were spent; where the light of in tellectuality first kindled, and am Jhitious fires first glowed on the altar of his heart. He would that he were a boy again, for those days were hallowed days, sweet days when he little dreamed of the avarice of the outside world. - He thinks of the companions of his public school day s and the lit tie playmates of the.halycon Sun day School, and then a large lump comes into his throat, for he finds himself face to face with the un- welcomed reatization-tbatran.enemy is abroad under the .guise/of a" suited- regarding Dodson’s Liver Tone and who analyzed this vege table liquid remedy carefully with all their skill, knowledge and. ex perience, have all agreed, on its superior merit, harmlessness and effectiveness. Dodson’s takes the place of dangerous calomel In con stipation, biliousness,sluggish liv er, sick headache, etc. Each of these physician’s fees was heavy enough to stagger most men; but their judgment is worth all it cost, particularly ii it will be the means of leading- more people to refuse to run dangerous risk by taking calomel and other violent remedies. Dodson’s Liver Tone not only relieves the sufferer from constipa tion and kindred ills, but does it easily and naturally without ache, pain or gripe, with no bad after effects, without interfering with usual duties and habits and abao lutely without danger—which is one reason it can carry an iron-clad guarantee. It has proved a boon to so many that it is recommended for.you to try at once. ad After Mr. Riyan And Others. - Washington, June 8.—Representa tive Britton, Republican, of Illinois, introduced a bill in the House today making it a penal offense for any cabinet officer, head or clerk of any government department to lecture for pay other than hotel and travel ing expenses.

During the last year various kind3 of goods intended for use on American warships or other wise in the government service" have been "bought from foreign manufacturers because they could be purchased cheaper. And the thriftiness of the rulers has been commended. But now Secretary Daniels has been calling for bids for the mak ing of American flags, A British firm has submitted a bid which is $5,000 lower than was submitted by any American firm, A Wash ington dispatch conveys the rumor accordingly, that the Secretary may give the contract to this Bhtr" ish concern., , If he does, the day will come when there will fly'above the Cap ital at Washington an American flag made in EBgland. Oneofour fine battleships will go into action with ft.proud flffg made in England floating above it. Travelers will be held up, as they return to these shores, by the employes of a cus tom house over which floats a flag made in England. And so it will go. Over our postoffice buildings, our armories," and all the other buildings owned and controlled by the government, including the National Soldiers’ Home, will float showing the Stats and Stripes, but made in England. W hat istheharm in that, do you say!. . -V ' Well, possibly some will see no barm, bpt will instead commend the thrift'of the. Secretary. But there are some who will find that just a trifle of a shock has been given to their patriotism. They will not feel that all is well when British manufacturers can make flags and deliver them, in this country for less than our manu facturers- can make them. Fosi Sibly they- will argue that they are willing to pay a little extra for patriotism’s sake. T H E L IM IT . S h a ll th e F la g be m ade in E n g la n d ! K in d e r rile s up one a b it.

The largest mercantile failure in the United States' history occurred when receivers were appointed last Thursday for the H. B. Claflin Com pany, of New York. The Company owes thirty million dollars, which it is unable to pay . AND STILL THEY COME. One. of our Democratic friends in writing us a few days ago, de poses and says: “ Wilson is the weakest brother that has ever played the roll of pres ident, Hayes not excepted. His free trade, his stand of the Panama ca nal tolls and Mexico are very una merican. Should future adminis trations follow the precedent Wilson has established, we had just as well dispense with Congress and the Senate.” ANOTHER DEMOCRAT QUITS. Mr. A S. Lanier, a good Demo crat, of Oxford, N. C , has this to say. Read it: “I have bnena life long Democrat, but the inefficiency and incompeten cy of the present administration, the utter abscence of statesmanship in the party. and the manifest willing ness of its members to subordinate the prosperity and welfare of the country to their own political inter ests and prolonged tenure ip office, have convinced me that the Demo cratic party is no place for me, o> any other man who holds the wel f are and prosperity of his country superior to party advantage or par ty politics. It is, therefore, need less for me to say that my fervem prayer is that it may be driven from power forever and kept always ir, the posiiion of a party of opposition, where it belongs, and for which ii is alone fitted.” Nicholson—Parker.

When the eleetion was called to vote this tax on, there_were only seventeen petitioners calling for an election, with three of them opposed to it because it had been misrepre sented to them, yet the election was called and carried in a way that the majority has not been satisfied with it. Now we. the opposing faction, number sixty-six out of eighty-nine voters in the Cana district, yet we have not been given anyhearingyet. This is the third time we have com plied with the law for calling an election. We do hope our honorable board of education will investigate this matter and give us a hearing at once. We are not opposing educa tion in opposing this local tax. We have-paid our tax money and got no returns for it. I understand that one of our opponents stated _ before the Board the first Monday in May that the school at Cana was the best in its history, If it had been pos sible for Uncle E. Frost to have heard that he would have turned over in his grave. It may be that our opponent does not remember the school-25 years ago as I do, when we run a good school at Cana. Itwasnotforcedon us either; we run on -private subscriptions and tu ition plans. That way the teacher knew that the school depended on the work done, and not to_ please the committee alone.- Back in those days we often had from ten to twen ty boarding students from Mecklen burg and other counties, now it would strain us to board that many one night because we haven’t got the right spirit that wehad back at that day. Now it seems that the opposing party. I mean those op posed to us having an election now, are afraid to risk the will of the oeople on this local tax question. The whole truth of the matter is this. There are only about eleven that will vote to continue the tax, while we number sixty-two. _ I hope I have not misrepresented this mat ter in any way. An Old School Boy. Twenty MiIiion Dollar Fire.

To The MocksviUe Ministers. Editor Record:—In recent years I have become quite* student oi the Bible and am sorry to say~that I fiad a surprisingly great number of conflicting statements, or rather they seem conflicting.to one of lim ited knowledge and understanding. However, maybe, with the proper light thrown upon each passage "of dark understanding, they might become otherwise than conflicting. For instance, take Moses’ state ment id Exodus 33,11: “And the Lord spake unto Moses lace to face as a manspeaketh unto his friend.?’ Then in John I, 18: “No man I hath seeu God at anj time.’’ And John 5, 37: “Te hath neither heard his voice at any time, nor seen his shape,” which . conflicts with thp writings of Moses all the way through. Brother Stroud, please snbmit these passages of scripture to the Davie county clergy for ^explana tion and ad vice as to whether to believe Moses in th‘e old Bible or John in the new, or both. . W.

The hogw ei^ed a- bout 20pounds, was a brownish gray color and has four long, sharp teeth, two above and two below, and re sembles a ’possum just a little.

U n io n R epublican. There are some Republicans and some Progressives who would, for some reasons of their own, keep up the estrangement made 'possible at the Chicago convention. This is not the right spirit. The bone of con tention is being- removed by the re adjustment of the basis of represen tation as fast as the respective State conventions meet.. A few of both elements talk as if the differences were as wide apart as the North and South poles, when in reality both Republicans and Progressives have the same fundamental principles and but one common political enemy— the tiemocrats. Upon these very policies the prosperity of the nation rests. The Democratic party is not giving satisfaction. Business is feel ing its inefficiency and is looking I® the Republican and Progressive par ty for relief. A few persistent ones, with the Democrats, would thwart a unity aftd reorganization and by so doing continue the Democratic party in power. But the people are thinking. They have realized what an era of peace and plenty means. At tke ballot box they propese to express their sentiments by voting for a certainty against an uncertain ty such as we are now experiencing and which may result in one of those Democratic "periodical pan»cs” be fore the remaining three years of Democratic rule shall have passed The Republican stands for harmony and unity. It looks farther and more generally than upon individ uals. In the coming contest it shall work as it has always done for meas ures not men, for the platform more than the men who are chosen as standard bearers. For men die and are forgotten but sound principles live forever. The fallacy of further division is apparent. It is victory • that The Republican wants and this nation needs and it will do its best to win it. Let Republicans and Pro gressives bury the past, join hands and unitedly carry their banner to success. Wheredoyou stand, fel low Republicans and Progressives? For victory or defeat?

B ucklen’s A rn ic a S alve fo r B um s, ad Cow SwalIowedThe Hooks. Two ladies were fishing on. one of the creeks of the connty several days ago. They’were in the pas ture. A cow wandered down ta where they were and swallowed the hooks acd the lines down to the eorks. The ladies soon dis covered their loss and started after the cow. After -ehasing her for' some time they gave it up. They reported the incident to the: men folks and they captured the cow, cot the cork and line off and let her retain the hook. Up to last accounts she was getting along nicely with the hook siill concealed on her person.—Concord Chronicle- North Carolina at Exposition. TbeState Agricultural Depart ment has Mi*. Thomas H.

Mr. Addickes is going from cjunty to county in the heart cf the piedmont region and is in the midst of the harvest. He is visit ing the counties in the followirg. order: Guilford, Davidson, Row an, Cabarrus, Mecklenburg, Gas ton, Lincoln, Catawba, Burke, Ire dell, Davie and Forsyth. It is important that the best arops be located and every farmer is naturally interested in making a s?reat show Ior hiB county. North Carolina offers great opportunities for smal* grain and no doubt a fine ^how will be made, as special caie is being taken in the icollec ion of specimens. Must Be A Democrat.

We have heard that^he' succeeded his father'in the offiee and hopes to hold it until his youngest son, now seven or eight years old, is old enough to succeed him. ' The Record would suggest that the Democrats of Orange county retire the Laws family on a pen sion, and put in a new register. Just think of the money Laws has made on marriage license alone!

The Democrats in Washington, aided by a small clique of railroad Republicans, have surrendered the rights of American citizens in the Panama Canal. - They have not merely abandon ed a measure for the ■ benefit of American shipping, but they have surrendered the independent ac tion of this country, and in all probability, the fundamental rights of this country in the greatest and most important achievement of modern times. Ifthiscountry had been defeat ed in a disastrous war, it could not have been expected to make a more humiliating surrender of in dependent action and valuable rights than the Democratic Ad ministration in Washington has made at the mere suggestion of England and Japan. The surrender of the eanal is a national disaster, and the pafty which made that surrender is a continual menace to the honor and dignity of the United' States and to the welfare of our citizens. This Democratic party, for the country’s good, for the common good of the citizens, must be de posed from power and deprived ot its opportunities for further injur ing and disgracing the nation. Our citizens who consider pa triotism above partisanship, who think more of the welfare of their of their countr^thah. they do of the advantage Of any*pkrfy, should unite to depose the Democratic party from power and to whip its traitorous representatives out of the House of Representatives and out of the Senate of the United States at the next election. It is not merely President Wil son who has refused to follow the declarations ot the Democratic platform and to supply 'the coun try with the adequate navy which that document demanded. The Democratic party has followed humbly and cravenly at the heels of the President . It is not merely President Wil Bon who has repudiated the Demo cratic doctrine of reciprocity, s doctrine which would have com pensated for the invasion of onr markets at home by the opening of reciprocal markets to our products abroad. The Democratic party has selfishly and slavishly folio wed in the Wilson wake for such crumbs of patronage as he has thrown its members. It is not merely President Wil son who is responsible for the au tocratic rejection of an Act of Congress providing for preferential duties in favor of products import ed into this country in American ships. The Democratic party has timidly and subserviently permit ted Wilson to be an autocrat and to dictate its policies for a payment of patronage. It is not merely President Wil son who has neglected his duties and the declaration of the Demo oratic platform m regard to the protection of the lives and thn honor of our citizens in Mexico. The Democratic party has endorsed every dishonor and approved every disgrace. It is the Democratie party which should be punished and repudiated. It is the unfaithful Democratic Members of the House of Repre sentatives and the traitorous Sena lots who should be expelled from election which occurs in Rovember of this year. The election of this year will not be a party matter. It will be a patriotic matter. It will be thednty of loyal Amer ican citizens to consider only the welfare of Our people and our country, and to remove a party which is a menace to national prosperity and progress. There should be no division among the people on minor mat ters, to endanger the outcome of the Fall election. There should be Unity among all patriotic citizens, a ’ determination to prevent any further injury and humiliation to the nation^ and a hope that there is still time to- prevent the abandonment of the Philippines or any other disastrous act of Democratic disloyalty and stupidity. There isnolimit to the injury that the Democratic party might inflict upon this eonntry if it were returned to power with any sort of endorsement of its dangerous and disloyal acts. The country must be rescued from-snch possible in- ury and the injury already inflict ed must be repaired as far as it is possible to do so. Prosperity must be restored to our people. Our prestige mnst be renewed and our . national rights and privileges regained. The men named to oppose the disloyal Democrats this Fall must be worthy of so great and so patri otic a task. They must be elected overwhel mingly, not only as a rebate to a traitorous Democracy, but as a benefit to our beloved, country. ; SLUGiGISH UVERS STARTED PLEASANTLY. N o N eed to R is k .

Plenty of people—thousands ot them—have found that . it is no longer neeessary to risk being “all knocked out’.’ by taking calomel when constipated or suffering from a sluggish liver. Nowadays Dodson’s Liver Tone takes the place of calomel. What calomel does unpleasantly and often with danger, Dodson’s Liver Tone does for you safely and pleasantly, with no pain and : no gripe. It does not interfere in any way with your regular business, habits or dijfc. Calomel is a poison, a form of mercury, a mineral. Dodson’s Liver Tone is an all-vegetable liquid. Ofooureelthis reliable remedy has its imitators. But Dodson’s Liver Tone has been made to take the place of calomel right from the start. The label on the bottle has always said so, beginning with the first bottle sold. And it is widely known today how good: Dodson’s Liver Tone is as a remedy and that Dodson never makes extravagant statements. He says that It’ “liv ens the liver,” overcomes constipa tion agreeably and makes you feel good, and if you are not satisfied comhletely with it Crawford’s Drug Store will hand back the purchase price (50c) to you with a smile. Such statements could not be made without true merit to back them up and it is easy for you to prove them for yourself at no cost if not satisfied and convinced, ad There is no national recall in is country, and it is not possible to remove President Wilson until fend of his four years’ term, ut it will be possible to remove SDemocrat8in Congress and to cont” 7!6 tlla Democratic" party, of r°l °f the Government in the Experience Has TaugEt Us.

She teaches school for about- 4 mouths in .the year and she gets about for ty dollars a month. That’s her. Vou know her-—for she taught in your county last winter g,nd • she is preparing to teach again next winter—about 4 months of the year at about forty par month. Outofher small savings—stint ed out of her forty per for "a lew months, she is. spending a good size amount to attend Summer school in order to better prepare herself for teaching your child and mine, this one hundred pounds of female flesh, who works on a pau per salary and sacrifices her life for your child and mine. And, if she is an exceptionally well equip ped teacher she gets about forty dollars a month, > : Shedarns and sews and cooks: and studies and -teaches through the brief day-of her life and we pay her about as much as we pay; a janitor—only the janitor gets 12 months work and this frail, little self-sacrificing woman gets in some thing like four months in the year -and she may get forty dollars per. She gives her life freely; gladly, joyously. And we pay a big, husky man— Strong and able-bodied from a, thousand up—largely up—that he m ayperform aservieeol^^dtiti^ eal nature—largely for -the reason: that this same big husky able- bodied fellow can '‘deliver” a few votes on election day and does er rands for his party. In many in stances, too, the office has been created only for a political purpose —and the little one-hundred poun der gets her forty a month for training your child and mine—for character building,. for country, saving purposes. We are mighty poor In this country. Mighty poor. We: can not pay these God-blessed, service- erowned women what they are worth in the school room, but we can multiply offices for political re ward—little matter how they cost the tax payers; One is only a woman. The other is a man. One Is little and help less and patient and full of ...self- sacrificing and, service—the spirit of these— the other man can carry water for his party and “deliver’’ votes. . Theshoe is on the Wrong foot; We ought to pay the little woman more. We ought to save money, public-money elsewhere and give: the -little woman a better chance— for this means a better chance for the boys and girls. The scaleB of justice are not properly balanced. A thousand and up—principally up—for a useless political job is not right when the little woman who is giving her very life blood for the education of your child and mine is only getting forty a month for a few months out of the twelve. . Are these things right! Are they! Can we afford to coop our children up in Bmall school rooms^ overcrowded and dark and cold iperhapsj and underpay the, brave little woman who works with a God-given patience to -train, the Children of our homes! Can we afford this! In its final analysis the blame is on us, you and. me. What of poll tics t here is In the equasion we are responsible: for.: PuWic sentiment is responsible. As- long as,; senti ment does not care that the little Woman is underpaid-and the other One overpaid conditions-will mot be corrected. We are not^making war_t>n any man, but speaking for justice for the little one ^hundred pounder who is giving her life in an unselfish way to better theraee. If we are too poor to pay her more, let’s take off somewhere else and apply to the little school house ann the little teacher who is re sponsible for the work being done In.: education in North Carolina. And withall there are some who will wonder why “these Tool wo men want to vote.” ;Men who have the ballot can frequently find an opportunity to correct these injustices, but they will not do so so long a9 they go it blindly and are led without think ing. We work and vote to extend the' school term, provide better school houses and pay. the ,teacher better salary. ; We should never be ready to admit that we cannot afford' to do these things. We can afford to do these things—and we mnst.- UNJUST TO SEMINOiES W RITER CRITICIZES COURSE O F TH E UNITED STATES. PredictsaLandsIide. Uoited Statea Senator Lawrence T. Shermah made his opening cam paign speech ai Louisville, 111., a few days ago. He arrived from Springfield shortly before noon and was met at the train by a large delegation. Wish a brass band leading he proceeded to the court house where a reception was held. Senator Sherman greeted the vot ers with that peculiar hand-shake, Ml his own. . Senator Sherman at the begin ,!h.thg of his address, took up the differences between the two fac tions of the Republican party Aud !explained the reasons why the Ephrty has been divided, as given by the Progressive leaders. “Arc yon who voted the Pro gresiive ticket In" the 1912 election Republicans!” he asked, “or have you affiliated .yourselves with the new. party! Why, you are Btill Republicans. The only reason why you voted the Progressive tieket evidently was to punish the Re publican party by putting the De mocrats in power. That is all the Democratic party is good lor, al ways around handy to be used as a sort of lash to punish the Republi can party occasionally. No, it was and is not your' intention to kill the Republican party—just punish it.” - The senator took a, pessimistic view of the wrong way in which the government was being run . by the Democrats. He said the last report OfThe Treasury Department showed-a-shortage between money expended and revenue provided of something like $25,000,000, and that before the end of the year it would exceed $50,000,000. “Thejr are appropriating $25,- 000,000 to kill prairie dogs and gophers,” said ,the senator, -‘and a. large amount in addition to devise a plan to destroy the boll weevil in Texas. I askedoneof my De mocratic colleagues from Louisiana which was the worst, the boll weevil in Texas or a Tree trade Democrat ou a sugar plantation in Louisiana, and he -lias not answer ed yet!” Senator Sherman said that in stead of the Democrats lowering the high cost of living, as they had promised, and still not destroy legitimate industries, they bad, by the low tariff, killed many induB tries, such as cotton and sugar, and that the costof living had-continu ally gone higher. 'He said that several large sugar refineries and cotton mills had beep forced to dose on account of not being able to compete with the cheap foreign goods and products now being im ported without duty. - “Everything in this part of ‘Egypt’ indicates a Repnblicah landslide next fall,” Senator Shep- maUxSaid. -HeIs very optimistic oyer the general ontlook for u Re publican _i victory at the -next election.

President Wilson is not going to run for president again,, but - will cast his mantle, upon Billy ' Bryan, so the newspapers say. This will be sad news to the Roman Catholics throughout the country. Peopleare indeed the strangest things in the world. Up at Gana the folks are doing all they can to have a special school tax repealed, while down Advance way the folks are doing all in their power to have a special school tax placed on them. And thus the world progresses. Our EJngIish contemporaries are expressing almost as' much delight over the repeal of free tolls on the Panama Canal as they did when we passed their tariff bill. As these ? things are done-to please them it would be ungrateful on their part not to show some recognition, of it. —Union Republican. The taxpayers of Davie county are not very well pleased with ■ the way the road money is being spent. It dpesn’t seem just right to spend be tween $50,000 and $75,000, almost half the bond issue, on one road through the county, which will' be of practically no benefit to more than three-fourths of the people in the county. The folks say they don’t like it, but it seems that they will have to take it. - Some of the lily-white Democrats in Davie are mad at President Wil son because he says he is going; to appoint negroes to fill the offices now being held by the dusky tribe. Woodrow says he is going to do this because he promised the negroes to remember them when he came into his kingdom. Thisis indeed a sad blow to white supremacy in North Carolina and reminds us of the days of old when Lilliukilena, a dusky damsel, of Hawaiian descent, put up at the White House, and again some years later when friend Bryan fed the multitude of colored brethren fried chicken on his- lawn at Fair- view and Josephus used pokeberry jnice by the gallon. The Record is in favor of putt'ng up a good strong Republican ticket this year, composed of * new men— men who have not held office all their lives. Some of the old leaders are making sarcastic remarks about The Record’s new ticket, and seem to think that the same old crowd should again be nominated. Some of the present office-holders, in fact, nearly all cf them, have declared publicly, or have told friends' that .if elected two years ago they would not run again. The Record is in fa vor of putting up new men for sev eral reasons, but the most promin ent ones are that we fa'vor rotation in office; are opposed to any man holding office for life* that the party has plenty of good, honest men who are deserving of recognition; but our greatest reason for wanting a new ticket this year is that we want to see the men elected to office that are nominated. The Republican leaders, (of which we are not) know better than anyone else that the old ticket cannot be elected this fall. No use to beat the devil around the stump, and make secrets out of public prop erty. The people are torn up over the road situation in the county and it is going to take hard work to car ry the county this fall. If the right men are. nominated they can : be elected, but in our opinion, should the old ticket be put in the fit Id again, it means defeat for at least a part of the ticket, if not all. We believe men should be nominated by the rank gnd file of Hhe Republican, party, and not by a few leaders and ringstgrs.1 We believe in honest elections and also in honest primar ies and conventions. Let everything be conducted over and above board. Eliminate the steam roller and the dirty politician. Suggestions are in order for a winning' ticket. If you have a good one in mind, spnd it in The columns of The Record are open to you. Letter From J. W. Etchison.

(By B- M. NELSON. Oregon BxperlmentStation.) Nearly every year one lamb or more dies, even out of the small flocks that run on the general farm. In such cases the ewes may be made step mothers. But of course it will be neo- essary to get the ewe to own the strange lamb. This may be accom plished In either of the following ways: The skin may be taken from the dead lamb and placed over the lamb 'to be adopted. Ewes recognize their !lambs by the scent, and the odor «f !the lamb skin will make the ewe be- jlieve that the lamb Is her own. The iskin should be removed in about forty- ■eight hours, or sooner J f necessary. • The ewe may be caught and held -every two or three hours for the new !lamb to suck. In a few days, general- Good for Mutton or Wool. iIy five or six, the ewe will own the lamb. Sprinkling a little of the ewe’s imilk over the lamb will be a great !help in this method. GREEN PEPPERS ARE POPULAR jThere Are Numerous Varieties and I They Have Been Greatly Improved In Recent Years. Green peppers are fine. They can be grown on any good garden soil, but should not be put out till the ground is warm. The varieties of peppers un like the egg-plant are numerous, and therefore have beeh greatly improved of late years. The Upright Sweet Salad is a fine pepper. It Ib bright scarlet In color, mild and sweet. Magnum Dulce is by far the largest pepper In cultivation, and the most prolific; no other variety gives such large specimens. It is very sweet and perfectly reliable. Ruby King is one of the standards and has. for many years been deserv ing of first place among the varie ties of peppers, but In many respects it is not equal to the above described kinds. - Chinese giant is very large, but not as prolific as some of the other large varieties. WATCH THE HORSE’S TEETH Very Often Elongated Molars Prevent Animal From Masticating Its Food In Proper Manner. If your horse shows difficulty In eating or loses flesh without apparent cause, it is time to examine the teeth. Very often elongated teeth prevent a horse from properly masticating its food, thereby rendering it Impossible to obtain much benefit from it. Ulcerated teeth also are a source of great trouble and prevent a horse from eating well. Sometimes broken teeth cut the sides of a horse’s mouth and form painful sores, which, of course, interfere with mastication. . It is a good plan to examine the teeth of all horses two or three times a year and In the case of broken or elongated teeth, treat them with a file. If the teeth of a valuable animal are badly affected it should be treated by a veterinary surgeon. Reduce Hog Disease. : There is no doubt that if the loca tions of all hog houses and hog lots on our farms were more carefully chosen, all feeding floors constructed of concrete, sanitary hog wallows pro vided in the yards, disinfectants used more frequently and freely, and the pasture system of maintaining the swine herds during the spring, sum mer, and fall seasons followed, that hog cholera would be greatly reduced. Keep Your Temper. Keep your temper about the farm work and especially when doing chores. The farmer--that gets mad and thrashes everything that does not happen to move thus and so just as he would like to have it, is a weak man In every way. His wife knows it, the boys and girls know it, and lose their respect for their father, and he knows It himself. What’s the use? Keep coot ’ Good Advice. ■ It doesn’t cost any more to feed a four-gallon cow than a two-gallon one. And a two-gallon cow Is worth just as much to the butcher as the four-gallon one. Queer thing, isn’t it? Themoral is, send the two-gallon cow to the butcher. IsConslderedBest As regards the different kinds of farmyard manure, cattle manure Ib considered the best, as it decomposes gradually, and is not liable to induce scab on the potatoes, as frequently happens with the| "Dour Scotch- Engineer.” . The “dour Scotch engineer’’: of “Mo- Andrew’s Hymn," by Kipling, is al most as sure to be found In the engine room of a steamer that plies to Asiatic ports as the steam gauge or the con necting rod. He is almost as, inevit able on the liners and tramp freighters of the Atlantic, or the lake .and river steamboats of Europe. Col. Thomas Frendergast, a retired officer of the British army, tells an amusing anec dote to illustrate that fa c t. He was crossing the little lake of Lugano, in the Italian Alps, on one of the small steamers that ply In those waters. When he paid his fare he asked for his change In silver, since the Italian copper coins would not pass current on the Swiss-side. But the fare collector had no silver. “I never had seen this steamer be fore,” the colonel says, “but I knew that a Scotchman is never without silver coin, and a steamer never-with out a Scotch engineer. So I stepped to the hatchway tKat opened into the engine room, and called: “ ‘Mac, are ye there?’ “ ‘Ay, ay! What d’ye want?’ came back in a strong Scottish accent. “ *Hae ye any siller?’ " ‘Ay!’ And I soon had a handful of silver coin.”—Youth’s Companion. Hobbies for Health. “Hobbles have ceased to be re garded merely as a means of putting in time, and have come to occupy an important place in medical treat ment,” says a well-known physician. But a hobby that promotes physical exercise is the finest recreation that a man whose work entails consider able mental strain can have. The kaiser has taken up wood-cut ting as the best possible hobby and exercise-for a hard-working monarch, and his physicians warmly encourage the pastime. Every morning In the Sans Souci . park at Potsdam the kaiser may be seen hard at work with saw and , ax. He not only fells trees, but: chops and saws the wood into convenient sizes for use. At the expiration of his hour’s toil the logs are either given to the workmen in attendance or sent to a charity. Tree-felling, of course, was one of Mr. Gladstone’s favorite pastimes. -Came Home Witb White Wife. , A few years ago a youDg colored rnau, named Tony H ill, went from this town to New Y ork-to live auu ‘gome tim e ago it was said that, be had m arried a white woman, which however, was not generally be lieved.

WEDNESDAY, JXJLY 8. 1914.NUMBER SI DEMOCRACY GIVEN A ROAST. Woodrow Wilson Advance Agent of Adversity—Prosperity Must Be Restored to The People. New. York American. The Democrats in W ashington, aided by a small clique of railroad Bepnblicaas1 have surrendered the rights of American citizens in the Panama Canal. They have not merely abandon ed a measure for the benefit of American shipping, but they have stirrendereid the -independent ac tion of.this country, and in all probability, the fundamental rights of this country in the greatest and most im portant achievement of modern times. Ifthiscountry had been defeat ed in a disastrous war, it could not have been expected to make a more humiliating surrender of in dependent action and valuable rights than the Democratic A d ministration in W ashington has made at the mere suggestion of England and Japan. The surrender of the canal is a national disaster, and the party which made that surrender is a continual menace to the honor and dignity of the United StateB and to the welfare of our citizens. This Democratic party, for the country’s good, for the . common good of the citizens, muBfc be de posed from power and deprived ol its opportunities for further injur ing and disgracicg the nation, Oar citizens who consider pa triotism a4)ove partisanship, who think more of the welfare of their of their country than they do of the advantage of any party, should unite to depose the Democratic party from power and to whip its traitorons representatives out of the House of !Representatives and out of the Senate of the United States at the next election. It is not merely President Wil- s>n Who has refused to follow the declarations ot the Democratic platform and to supply the coun try with the adequate navy which that document demanded. The Democratic party has followed humbly and cravenIy at the heels of the President. It is not merely President W il son who has repudiated the Demo cratic doctrine of reciprocity, a doctrine which would have com pensated for the invasion of our markets at home by the opening of reciprocal markets to onr produ'cts abroad. The Democratic party has selfishly andBlavishiy followed in .the Wilson wake for such crumbs of patronage as Jbe has thrown its members. It is not merely President W il son who is responsible for the au tocratic !ejection of an A ct of Congress providing for preferential duties in favorof products im port ed into this country in American ships. The Democratic party has tim idly and subserviently perm it ted Wilson to be an autocriat. and. to dictate its policies for a payment of patronage., It is not merely President W il son who has neglected his duties and the declaration of the Demo cratic platform in regard to the . protection1*, )f the lives and- the honor of our citizens in Mexico. Tbe Democraticparty has endorsed every dishonor and approved every il'h BbOUld be punished and repudiated. . It is the unfaithful Democratic members of the House of !Repre sentatives and the traitorous Sena tors who should be expelled from office. There is no national recall in' this country, and it is not possible to remove President Wilson until the end of his four years’ term. B ut it will be possible to remove the Democrats in Congress and to deprive the Democratic party of control of the Government in the election which occurs in November of this year. The election of this year will not be a party m atter. It will be a patriotic matter. It will be theduty of loyal Amer ican citizens to consider only the welfare of our people and our country, and to remove a party which is a menace to. national prosperity and progress. ’ There should be no' division among the people- on minor mat ters, to endanger the outcome of the FaiLelection/ There should be unity among all patriotic citizens,,a determination to prevent an> further injury and humiliation to the nation, and a hope that there is still time to prevent the abandonment of the Philippines or any other disastrous act of Democratic disloyalty and stupidity.

Sherman made his opening cam paign speech ai Louisville, 111., a few days ago. He arrived from Springfield shortly before noon and was met at the train by a large delegation. Wish a brass band leading he proceeded to the court house where a reception was held. Senator Sherman greeted the. vot ers with that peculiar hand-shake, all his.own. Senator Sherman a t . the begin ning of his address, took iip the differences between the two fac tions of the Bepublicah party and explained the reasons why the party has been divided, as given by the Progressive leaders. \ii'. “ Are you who voted 'the Pro gressive ticket in the 1912 election Republicans'?” he asked, “ or have you affiliated yourselves, with the new partyt ,W hy, you are still Republicans. The only reason why you voted the Progressive ticket evidently was to. pubish the Be publican party by putting the De mocrats in power. That is all the Democratic party .is good lor, a l ways around: handy to be used as a sort of lash to punish the Bepubli can party occasionally/ No, it was and is not your intention - to kill the Bepublican party—ju st punish it.” The senator took a pessimistic view of the wrong way in which the government was being run by the Democrats. He said the last report of the Treasury Department showed a shortage between money expended and revenue provided of something like §25,000,000, and that before the end of the year - it would exceed $50,000,OOO. . “ They are appropriating $25,- 000,000 to kill prairie dogs and gophers,” said the senator, -‘and a large amouut in addition to devise a plan to destroy the boll weevil to Texas. I asked one of my * De- mocratis colleagues from Louisiana which was the worst, the boll weevil in Texas or a free trade Democrat on a sugar plantation ifi Louisiana, and he has iiot answer ed yet!” ’ Senator Shermaii said that in stead of the Democrats loweiing the high-cost of living, as they had promised, and still not destroy legitimate industries, they bad, by the.low tariff, killed'm any indus tries, such as cotton and sugar, and th it the cost of living had continu ally gone higher. He said that several large sugar refineries and cotton iuilis had’ been forced to close on account of not being able to compefe 'with the cheap foreign goods'and ptoducts now being im ported without duty.- , “Everything in; this part of ‘Egypt’ indicates a Bepnblican landsride next fall,” Senator Sher man said, H e is very optimistic over the general outlook for a Re publican victory at the next election'. :>.*■■■ UNJUST Ta SEMINCHES WRITER CRITICIZES course of THEUNITEOSTATES. If it’s printing you need. The Re cord has what you want. • - Indians Justified in Their -Reslfttanee to Removal From .Their Lands, According to the Rev. Thomas B. Gregory. ;; It.was 68 years' ago that the Itefle massacre toolT place near Fort Dranei in Florida, writes the Rev. Thomas HT Grogory. Major Dade and his com mand of 100 men were attacked by the Seminoles and completely wiped out, only Ionr ot the force escaping. . The head and front cf tne Seminole war, in the course, of which this “massacre” ocfcurred, was Osceola, as pure a patriot and as gallant a lighter as ever broke into history. ■ The Seminoles were dissatisfied with a treaty that a few chiefs had made for.-their' emigration west of the Mississippi, and when Gen. Thompson was sent to remove them by force they arose, under the leader ship of OsceoJa, and began fighting for the iand that._had come down to them from their fathers. 'They did just what the Americans Would certainly have done under simi lar conditions. The United' States troops e invaders and the Semi nole/ ana ed them. ,Major Dade and his men were invaders and the Semi- noles killed them. The fact that a little hunch of chiefs, assisted by American “diplomacy” and firewater, had made a “treaty” giving away their country did not seem sufficiently sacred to the red men to. justify them in submitting to the American claims. ; Osceola fought like a lion for two years against " vastly superior num bers, and In 1837 was made a prison er by General Jesup, while holding a conference with him under a flag of trade, and imprisoned in Fort Moul trie until his death which took place two years later. - Beaten In the. field and bereft of their great leader, "the Seminoles re tired to the swampy fastnesses of the everglades. and kept up the fight for five years longer, successfully re sisting the onslaughts of more than 10,000 American troops. To this day the descendants of the Seminoles are to b.e found in the big Florida swamp, preserving in their features and; in their. courage the characteristics of their stalwart and jgamy ancestora. Osceola had every cause to hate the white man. Bis wife' was seized as a sI3ve, and when he protested and threatened revenge he was'seized by Gen. Thompson and imprisoned for six days In irons. For this outrage Osceola killed Thompson, for. doing which he was dubbed a “ferocious sav age”, and declared an outlaw. Great is .the mystery ot the white man’s justice! It is no wonder that the children of the forest were never able to understand the ethics and re ligion of the paleface. ... Stung.

She felt tliat one of the most ancient of wifely duties—and privileges—that of inspecting the -bottom of her hus band’s pockets—was not only inter fered with,-but was made! a method of torture. The man, of course, argued that he had a right to carry what he pleased in his pockets—but the grant ing of the: divorce would seem like a denial of this right.

President Wilson is' not going to run for president again, but "will cast his mantle upon Billy Bryar, so the newspapers say. This will be Sid news to the Roman Catholics throughout, the country. People are indeed the strangest things in the world. Up at Gana the folks are doing all they can to have a special school tax repealed, while down Advance way. the folks are doing all in their power to have a special school tax placed on them. And thus the world progresses. Our English contemporaries are expressing almost as much delight over the repeal of free tolls on the Panama Canal as thev did when we passed their tariff bill. As these things are done to please them it would be ungrateful on their part not to show some recognition of it. —Union Republican. The taxpayers of Davie county are not very well pleased with the way the road money is being spent. It doesn't seem just right to spend be tween $50,000 and $75;000, almost half the bond issue, on one road through the county, which will be of practically no benefit to more than three-fourths of the people in the county. The folks say they dori’t 'like it, but it seems that they will have to take it. Some of thejjly-white Democrats in Davie are mad at President Wil s m because he says he is going to appoint negroes to fill the offices now being held by the dusky tribe Woodrow says he is going to do this because he promised the negroes to remember them when he came into his kingdom. This is indeed a sad blow to white supremacy in North Carolina and reminds us of the dayt • of old when Lilliukilena, a dusky damsel, of Hawaiian descent, put up at the White House, and again some years later when friend Bryan fed the multitude of colored brethren fried chicken on his lawn at Fair- view and Josephus used pokeberry jaice by the gallon. The Record is in favor of putting up a good strong Republican ticket tiis year, composed of new men men who have not held office all their lives. Some of the old leaders are making sarcastic remarks about The Record’s new ticket, and' seem tO'think that the same old 'crowd should again be nominated. Some of the present office-holders, in fact, nearly all cf them, have declared publicly, or have told friends that if,elected two years ago (they would not run again. The Record is in fa vor of putting up new men for sev eral reasons, but the most, promin ent ones are that we favor, rotation in office;lire opposed to any man holding office for life; that the party has plenty of good, honest men who aredeserving of recognition; butour greatest reason'for wanting a new ticket this year is that we want to see the men elected to office that are nominated. The Republican leaders, (of which we are not) know better than anyone else that the old ticket cannot be elected this fall. No use to beat the devil around the stump, and make secrets out of public prop erty. The people are torn up over the road situation in the county and it is going to take hard work to car ry the county this fall. If the right men are nominated they can- be elected, but in our opinion, should - the old ticket be put in the fid j againi-it means defeat for at least a part of the ticket, if not all. believe men should be nominated by the rank and file of the Republican party, and not by a few leaders and ringsters. We believe in honest elections and also in honest primar ies and conventions.. Let everything be conducted over and above board. Eliminate the steam roller and the dirty politician. Suggestions are in order fo r‘a winning ticket. If you have a good one in mind, send it in. The columns of The Record are open to you. Letter From J. W. Etchison. Editor Record,-—As a rule I do not ap prove of newspaper controversies, but since the question ofour local school tax has been discussed in your paper, I wish to submit a few ihoughts on the. subject. My reason for entering this eontrovery is to state fairly and squarely, to the pub lic, the facts in regard to our school ques tion. It has been stated in your paper that the election was held unfairly. Npw1 as those who understand this question will know, the lav/ rexuires that a petit ion, signed by one-rourth of the free holders residing in the said district, shall be presented to the Board of Education, for their apinval, before the County Commissioners can order an election. As there were-> some families outside the original Cana district who wished to come in, it was thought best to enlarge the boundaries of the district, and all the free-holders In the district, except a very few, signed the petition. - The Board of Education approved the petition and the election was held according to law. as the records will show, and was carried by a good majority. There were a few per sons who were not satisfied with the re sult of the election and they have kept the matter agitated, and this is the fourth time there has been a petition presented to the Board,, asking for an election to repeal the tax. Your correspondent, of last week stated that they had never been given a hearing, but the fact is that the Board has laken up the matter each time. The first time they deferred mak-. inga decision until the following year in order to give time to prove whether or not the school shauld be a success* The second time it was postponed indefinitely for lack of proof that the school was a failure. The third time the Board refused to endorse the petition because they did not consider the reasons given as suffic ient cause to justify a repeal of the tax. The result of the fourth hearing still re mains to be seen. I am the man who said before the .Board on the first Monday in May, that ourschool was better now than it had ever been, and I am ready to verifyvlhat statement, but you reniember that we are discussing public schools now, and not private schools. Twenty five years ago we only bad from two and. one-half to thrbe.inonths of public school. Theremainderofthe term was supple mented by'private subscription and by tuition. While we are proud of what was accomplished at that time, still, we must admit that our present school system is better, forthen we were educating other people's children and neglecting those' of our own neighborhood. Now, by the help of the compulsory education law, each child in the district can get a good com mon school education at home. As Wm. F. Feagin says in the Progressive Farmer of this week: There are some who*would question the State's right to compel at tendance. The State has no right to levy and collect the constitutional tax and make additional appropriation for the purpose of educating her children "and then permit that purpose.to be defeated by indifferent and selfish parents. The parents has rights—yes, but the helpless child has rights too; society has right!; and the State has rights. Noone denies that the State has the right to csmpel the parent to feed and clothe bis child and to compel the parent to fight for his country and to shoot him if he should desert. . No one questions the right of (lie State to carry the law-breaking child to the reformatory or to the jail to protect society. Has not the State as much right to carry the child to the school house to save him from that reformatory or that jail and to train him to be a producer rather than a consumer in his relations to society." Yonr correspondent of last week says: “We have paid our tax and got no returns for it.” Now, here is the keynote to the whole situation. A num ber of thuse opposing the tax are men who now have no children to educate. Others are young men past school age. Perhaps they do not receive any direct returns, but what of their grand-children, nieces, nephews and neighbors children? Where is the fine progressive spirif of twenty-five years ago, for which your cor respondent grieves? Has it gone with the departed? It is for us to keep alive this spirit and to impart it to our children, but we can never do this if we take a back ward step in education. Our Board of Education is composed of men. who favor progress along all lines, and they have the interest of the education, in the coun ty, at heart.and that is the reason they have not yet endorsed the petition to re peal the tax. If the opposition can prove to this Board that our school system is a failure, and that the money has been squandered, I have no more to say; but until this is done, I hope our Board will not endorse the petition, thereby giving the people of the district the opportunity to take away from their children the best opportunity they have ever had to secure an education.' We are especially anxious to hold our local tax at this time as this will enable us to secure State aid as soon as.there are funds available for this purr pose. We~ have already sent in an appli cation for a State High School and hope we may secure it. I am for schools, more schools, and better schools, and shall be as long as North Carolina ranks second in illiteracy among the States of the.Union. J. W. ETCHISON. Cana. N. C., July 3, 1914.

Nearly every year -one lamb or more dies, even out of the small flocks that run on the general farm. In such cases the: ewes may be made step mothers. But of course It. will be nec essary to get the ewe to own the strange lamb. ThlB may be accom plished in either. of the following Ways: The skin may be taken from the dead lamb and placed over the lamb to be adopted. Ewes recognize thelt lamba by the scent, and the odor st the lamb skin will make the ewe be lieve that the Iamb is her own. Th* skin should be removed in about forty- eight hours, or sooner if necesBary. Tho ewe may be caught and held every two or three hours for the new lamb to suck. In a few days, general- '1Dour Scotch Engineer." ; The “dour Scotch engineer” of “Mo- Andrew’s Hymn,” by Kipling, Is al most as sure to be found in the engine room of a steamer that plies to Asiatic ports as the steam: gauge or the con necting rod. He is almost as Inevit able on the liners and tramp freighters of the Atlantic, or the lake and river steamboats of Europe. Col. Thomas Prendergast, a retired officer of the British army, tells an amusing anec dote to Illustrate that fact He was crossing the little lake ot Lugano, in the Italian Alps, on one ot the small steamers that ply . in those waters. When he paid his fare he asked for his-change In silver, since the. Italian, copper coins would not pass current on th§ Swiss side. But the fare collector had no sliver. . ‘‘I never had seen this steamer be fore,” the colonel says, “but I knew, that a Scotchman is never without sliver coin, and a steamer never with out a Scotch engineer. So I stepped to -the hatchway that opened into the engine room, and called: “ ‘Mac, are ye there?’ “ ‘Ay, ay! What d’ye, want!’ came back' in a strong Scottish accent. “ ‘Hae ye any siller?’ “ ‘Ay'!’ And I soon had a handful of silver coin.”—Youth’s Companion. Came Home With White Wife. A few yearB ago a young colored man, uanied Tony Hill, went from this town to New Yurk h> live ami some time ago it was said' that he had married a white woman, which however, was not generally be lieved. Such was a fact, for yes terday his white wife arrived on a visit to bis mother.—Chatham Record. .

Green peppers are fine. They, can be grown on any good garden soil, but should not be put out till the ground is warm. The varieties of peppers un like the egg-plant are numerous, and therefore have been greatly improved of late years. The Upright Sweet Salad Is a fine pepper. It is bright scarlet In color, mild and sweet. Magnum Dulce Is by far the largest pepper In cultivation, and the most prolific; no other variety gives such large specimens. It is very sweet and perfectly reliable. Buby King is one of the standards and has for many yeara been deserv ing of first place among the varie ties ot peppers, but in many respects it is not equal to the above described kinds. Chinese giant is very large, but not as prolific as some of the other large varieties. Best Diarrhoea Remedy. If you have ever, used Chamberlain's ~Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoee Remedy you know that it is a success. Sam F. Guin, Whatley, Ala., writes, “I had fheasles and got caught out in the rain, and it settled in my stomach and bowels. I had an aw ful time, and had it not been for Cbam beriain’s Colic; Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy I could not possibly have lived but a few hours longer, but thanks to this remedy, I am now well and strong.” For sale by ail dealers. ad The people wh<u believe only half they hear may hear twice a? much «s the rest of u s / WATCH THE HORSE’S TEETH Very Often Elongated Molars Prevent Animal From Masticating lt» Food In Proper Manner. If your horse shgws difficulty In eating or loses flesh without apparent cause, it is time to examine the teeth. Very often elongated teeth prevent a horse from properly masticating its food, thereby rendering it impossible to obtain much benefit from It. Ulcerated teeth also are a source of great trouble and prevent a horse from eating well. Sometimes broken teeth cut the sides of a horse's mouth and form painful sores, which, of course, interfere with mastication. It is a good plan to examine the . teeth of all horses two or three times a year and in the case of broken or elongated teeth, treat them with a file. If the teeth of a valuable animal are badly affected it should be treated by a veterinary surgeon. Reduce Hog Disease. ' There is no doubt that if the locap ttons of all hog houses and hog lots on our farms were more carefully chosen, all feeding floors constructed of concrete, sanitary hog wallows pro vided in the yards, disinfectants used more frequently and freely, and the pasture system of maintaining the swine herds during the spring, sum mer and fall seasons followed, that hog cholera would be greatly reduced. Keep /Your Temper. : Keep your, temper about the farm work and especially when doing chores. The farmer that gets mad and thrashes everything that does not happen to move thus and so just as he would like to have it, is a weak man in every way. His wife knows it, the boys and girls know it, and lose their respect for their father, and he knows it himself. What’s the. use? Keep cool. -Good Advice^ : :. It doesn’t cost any more, to feed a four-gallon cow than a two-gallon one. And a two-gallon vCow is worth just as much to the butcher as the four-gallon one. Queer thing, isn’t it? The moral is, send the two-gallon cow to-the butcher. • • IsConaIderedBest. - As regards the different kinds of farmyard manure, cattle manure is considered the best, as it decomposes gradually, and Is not liable to indues scab-on the potatoes, as frequently ' happens with thestroniw horsedung. - -Hobbies for Health. "Hobbies have ceased "to be re garded merely as a means ot putting in time, ;and have come to occupy an important place in medical treat ment,” says a well-known physician. But a hobby that promotes physical exercise is the finest recreation that a man whose work entails consider able mental stfaln can have. The kaiser has taken up wood-cut ting as the best possible hobby and exercise for a hard-working monarch, and his physicians warmly encourage the pastime. Every morning in the Sans Souci park at Potsdam the kaiser may be seen hard at work with saw and ax. .He not only fells trees, but chops and saws the wood into convenient sizes for use. At the expiration of his hour’s toil the logs are either given to the workmen in attendance, or sent to a charity. Tree-felling, of course, was one ot Mr. Gladstone’s favorite pastimes.

MOCKSVIIXE. NORTH CAROLINA. WEDNESDAY. JULY 15, 1914.NUMBER 52 FlGIS REFUTE TftLK Idle to Call Trade Depression Psychological. Industries That Have Shut Down or Curtailed Production, and Men Out of Work Are Convincing Arguments. President Wilson tells the business men of America that while there is a trade depression, it is "merely psycho logical.” Can an extra dose of psychology give hack to the railroad owners that $98,000,000 which their properties have lost In eight months this fiscal year compared with the year before the Wilson regime started? Is it only a dream or a concrete fact that 1,000,000 workmen are now out of a Job? Can a mental state account for the amazing reversal In America’s interna tional trade figures, where a monthly excess of exports ranging up to $50,- 000,000 has turned into a balance against us of $10,OOOJiOO for April? Does mere sentiment reduce our steel-mill output" to 60 per cent of its capacity? Was it hysteria that blew out 15,000 Pennsylvania coke ovens? No, it was not a “merely psycholog ical” notion that unloaded American- made traffic from 230,000 freight cars and put them out of commission. Bald win’s didn’t discharge more than half their employes out of pique. Building operations in the United States have not fallen greatly simply to create political sentiment. Our bankers are not sending shiploads of gold to Europe to spite somebody. When securities have been liquidat ed in IS months to a level $2,000,000,- 000 below their former va&ue the coun try is not suffering psychologically but concretely. It is outrageous mockery for those whose excessive" legislative meddling is largely responsible for onr present trade ills to pretend that the people who have suffered the loss and who are out of "work are themselves to blame. The president says there is "nothing more dangerous for business1 than un certainty." But his party has deft busi ness in no uncertainty whatever, ex cept as to the extent of the cailamity which it may inflict. Passing It Up to the Courts. We wonder who is the worst enemy of the courts, the agitator or the cow ardly executive and his party in the legislative branch? The agitator must have something to work on, and the time-serving executive and lawmaker furnish him with the basis of his at tacks. They “pass the buck” to the courts. They enact the double-mean-" lug laws calculated to raSse false hopes In the breasts of multitudes,, and when the courts strike away the deception the agitator receives a hearing for his outcry that reactionaries fill the bench and make and unmake laws. Five or ten years from now the courts will have to cleart away the de ception which President' .Wilson and congress are practising Init their labor legislation.

Burdette. ■ M y dear boy, men have, fought bled and died, but not for beer. Arnold Winklereid did not throw himself upon the Austrian spears because he was ordered to close his saloon at nine o’clock. ~ W illiam T elld id not hide his arrow under his vest to kill the ty rant because the edict had gone forth th at the free born Switzer should not drink a keg of beer every Sunday. Freedom,did not shriek as, Kos ciusko-fell over a whiskey barrel. W arren did not die that beer: m ight flow as the brooks m urm ur seven days a week. Even the battle of Brandywine was not !ought th at whiskey m ight be free. No clause in the Declaration of Independence declares that a-Sun day concert garden, with five brass bands and one hundred kegs of beer, is the inalienable right of a free people and the cornpr stone of good governm ent. Tea — mild, harm less innocent tea, the much sneered at . tem perance beverage, the feeble drink of effeminate men and good old women—tea holds a higher place, it fills a brighter, more glorious page, and is a great er figure in the history of the D ni ted States than beer. Men liked tea, my boy, but they hurled it into the sea in-the name of liberty, and. they died rather than drink it until they, uiader freQ-.“- ing for, and the best men in the world fought for it. The history of thp U nited .States is inoom plete with tea left out. As well m ight the history omit Fan- euil H all and B unker HiU as tea. Bu t there is no story of "heroism or patriotism w ith rum for its hero. The battles of this world, my son, have been fought for grander things than free whiskey. The heroes who fall in the struggle for rum fall shot in the neck, and their m artj rdom is clouded by the haunting phantom s of the jim jam s. W hiskey makes men fight, it is true, but they usually fight other drunken m en.. The champion of beer does not stand in the temple of fame; he stands in the police court. H onor never has the delir ium trem ens. Glory does not wear a red nose, and fame blows a horn but never takes one. I do not know one good thing about a saloon. It is an evil thing th at has not one redeem ing thing in all its history to commend it to good men. Itb reak s the laws of God and man; it desecrates the Sabbath; it profanes the- name of religion; it defies public order; if tram ples under foot the tenderest teelings of hum anity; it is a mortal pestilence that blights the very atm osphere of town = and country; it is a stain upon honesty ; a blur upon^fiiri ty; a elog upon progress; a check upon the nobler - impulses; it is an incentive to falsehood, de ceit and crim e. . Search through the history of this hateful thing, and find one page over which some m other can bow her grateful head and thank Gbd for all the saloon did f<5r her boy. There is no such record. A ll its history is w ritten in tears and blood, w ith sm ears' of shame and stains of crime, and dark blots of disgrace. : Has Your Child Worms? Most children do.

It is only a sample of w hat is happening all over the country where there is m anufacturing and mining going on. We warned the people before the last election not to vote the Democratic ticket be cause we knew if the Democrats got control of the governm ent that they would bring abont the very conditions that M r. Carpenter speaks of in the above letter. It will be remembered th a t' the Un- derwood-Simmors tariff bill put Mica on the free list and has re sulted in closing down the mines and has thrown those who worked in the mines out of employment. Now, these people are in an awful bad fix .. No money, no work and the price of everything they have to use is very high. The high cost of living truly has come down to those who can’t bny, but we are afraid that many people right here m N orth Carolina are going to suf fer since the free trade tariff law. was passed,, which closed down factories and mines,destroyed pros perity and broogbt honest, hard working people to want.

Famous Historians Spent Larger Part of Lifetime in Collecting Materials for Volumes—Scott aNotabIe Exception. Buckle devoted nearly twenty years to the collection of material for his “History of Civilization.” He wrote only a portion of the introduc tion, which remains -a" monument to his literary achievements. If the work had been finished on the same scale as begun a hundred volumes would have scarce sufficed. Bancroft devoted nearly thirty years to his “History of the United States,” which, strictly speaking. Is not a history of the country at all, since it ends where the history of the United States properly begins. Had the work been continued on the same scale down to . the present he must have written seventy-five of eighty vol umes. • Scott is said to have written “Wa- verley” in less than, six weeks. He composed very rapidly, seldom re vised, and as a con sequence his nov els contain many errors of fact and anachronisms.' Borns committed his poems to mem ory before he wrote them, and when he sat down to write he had before him little labor of composition, since he had only the task-of .writing down that what he had already finished. A period of 20 years^was consumed by Gibbon in the labor of writing the “Decline and Fall of the Roman Em pire.” This was one of the most stu pendous literary feats ever accom plished by one man. I t . took Thomas Moore two years to search for and prepare the mate rial necessary to the composition of “Lalla Rookh,” and . two additional years were required for - the actual writing of that work. . George Eliotis saidtohavew ritten “Middlemarch” in four months;. Somo doubt, however, is cast-upon this state: ment. by the fact that she commonly worked with, great care and delibera tion, and made few erasures after the work was done, In his preface -to; “David Copper- field" Dickens says he spent two years in the composition of that work. He did not usually require so long a' time, many of his novels being finished In a year, and most of the short stories in a few days. Though it is said that Congreve could prepare a drama for the stage in a few days, four or five times that period was-given to the work of re vision and reconstruction after the play was given to the actors. Nearly five years was taken by Irv ing in the writing of “The Life of George Washington,” though it re quired no more than ten days to write the first 120 pages. of “Bracebridge Hall.” “The Alhambra” was written daring the three months.he spent in that palace. Froude consumed seven years in the preparation of materials for and in the writing of his “History of Eng land.” He was very accurate, and often spent days in an effort to verify, a single date or fact. Sad Time for Frenchmen. One hundred years ago the conven tion of Paris was concluded between France and the victorious-allies. This 'convention preceded the drawing up of the formal treaty which was to determine the position-of monarchical France in Europe. In general, it re stored the boundaries of France as they had been in 1792, before the Napoleonic conquests. Ail the vast territory outside, of France that had comprised the empire of Napoleon was taken from her at one stroke of the pen. “So much bloodshed to no purpose,” said the historian of the times, “so much wealth spent without result” Small wonder, then, that the entire French nation experienced a painful sense of depression and that, the restoration of the monarchy ex cited little interest, much less en thusiasm. - Fighting Hog Cholera. While the matter of fighting the disease of hog. cholera successfully is a matter largely of cleaner and more sanitary hog houses and hog yards, and of a larger use of pas tures and forage crops during the growing season, the- presence of the disease germs generally through the hog producing sections, requires also that we must exercise care" also along other lines..

We wish that we were able to credit you for ever, but Uncle Sam doesn’t allow it, and besides, tto one man can af ford to sustain a whole newspaper long at a time. Enough non-paying subscribers to enough newspapers would break up John D. Rockefeller. You may owe us but a little, but a little from many makes much. So please help us out. With this issue The Record begins its sixteenth year. For the past fifteen years it has worked early and late for the upbuilding of Davie county, and for the best interests of the citizens therein. The present editor and owner moved here seven years ago, and since that time the paper has more than doubled its circulation,’ not counting thirteen citizens who took the paper for a year or more and had to be marked off our books because they would not pay us. Por the past seven years The Record has not missed an issue or came out a day late. Wt have done what we could for the un building of our town and county and wish to thank every man, womai: and child who has contributed or helped in any way. Our friends are legion throughout the county, and but for their assistance we could nt t have run the paper. Let every one jn the county help us to make The Record better than ever before b> giving us their patronage. Pioo News.

Editor Record:—Rotation in office seems to have the stage, not only in Davie, but in other counties, and with your permission I w ant to give my views on the question purely from a nonpartizan standpoint, In the first place, what were tkedcts created for when our forefathers es tablished this government? Primar ily for the public good and the ad ministration of the laws. I have no idea that they thought of creating these offices just in order to give some one a job who might want it. While some may differ with me in this view of the question, which they1 have a perfect right to do, I believe that an office is a public trust, and as long as the incumbent gives the people good service, and realizes that he is a servant of the people, and so conducts the office, he has a right to ask for a continuation of the trust, should he want it. I do not believe in life tenure in office as a rule, but I do believe that the peo ple themselves should say who, and how long they want the services of their officers. If for any reason the people desire a change, they have a perfect right to make it, and no one has a right to even attempt to thwart their will. Whenthepeoplego out to the primaries and express their preferences no trickster should be allowed to defeat the will of the people as expressed at the primary. No. candidate who gets a square deal has a right to complain just be cause he fails to land the nomina tion. Thediscontent and dissatis faction of the people comes largely from the attempt of a few. self-con- stituted bosses, to control and manip ulate the nominations for their own selfish purposes. Somemen are in politics for what they can get out of it in dollars and cents. Theyare de void of character or principle, and will resort to any kmd of dirty meth ods to perpetuate themselves in power, and the people should watch out for such characters, and when they find out that their officers are depending upon the services of such characters in order to hold on to the offices, then it is time to tnrn the schemers out and swat the boss or bosses. The people should rule in primaries and conventions and until they do, discontent and dissatisfac tion will continue. The duties of some of tne county offices are such that the incumbent does not become an efficient officer in one ' or two terr>s, for instance Clerk of the Court and Register of Deeds, but regardless of their efficiency, if the people want a change no one has a right to say them nay I shali not attempt to dictate to the people as to who they shali nominate, but I do chink we should get on a higher plane when advocating men for of fice. No man should be nominated unless he is capable and of good character—that should be the .stand ard. Let the people rule; let them go out to the primaries and say-who they want, and let no man dare raise his voice against their will at the convention, or resort to any dirty methods to defeat the popular will: E.H.

As has been the custom for more than a year, the Davie Road Gcmtiiissioners were in session all day Tuesday. Much talk was indulged in, and possibly, some good‘was done. The work on the Mock Chapel road from Advance, was ordered stopped, and work is to begin at once on the road from Advance to the Mocksville township line, via Bixby and Cornatzer. In our opinion this road should have been built first. The roads should all lead to the county seat. Fact of the matter is, all work should have begun at Mocksville. Seems that some of the Commissioners have been doing all in their power to build every road in an opposite direction from the county seat. This is wrong. The roads should be built to benefit the greatest number of folks. D. H. Hendricks and W. E. Boyles, of Shady Grove, made good speeohes and hit the nail oa the head. At the present time work is being done on the roads in Jerusalem, Fulton, Mocksville, CalaliaIn1 Clarksville and Farmington townships. About 40 miles of road is under course of construction in the county, with about 10 or 15 miles completed, exclusive of the Salisbury road. Mrs. Margaret Atkinson Passes. Mrs. Margaret Frances Atkinson died at the home, of her son, W. C. Atkinson, at KeysviUe, Va., July 8th, 1914, aged 79 years, 3 months and 14 days. The body was brought to this city Thursday morn ing and carried to Smith Grove and laid to rest at 2 o'clock Thursday afternoon. Rev. J. B. Tabor conducting the burial services. Mrs. Atkinson was a member of the Methodist church, and lived a con secrated life during her long sojourn on earth. The deceased wasbornnearThird Creek, Rowan county, March 24.183S,and on May 3, 1859 she was united in mar riage to W. J. Atkinson. They moved to Dutchman creek, near Mocksville, where they lived until the death of Mr. Atkin son, which occurred in October, 1904. About two years ago Mrs. Atkinson went to Virginia to visit her sons, and while there her health failed and she was not able to return hume. Surviving her are three sons and two daughters, viz: Mrs. H. L. Austin, of this city, Mrs. C. F. Piper, of Columbia, S. C.; Messrs. Thos. F Atkin son, of near Mocksville, W. C. and Z. A Atkinson, of Keysville, Va. Among those from a distance who attended the burial were Mr. and Mrs. C.-F. Piper and son Francis, of Columbia, W. C. and Z. A. At kinson, of Keysville, and Mrs. J. E. Aus tin, of Salisbury. Mrs. Atkinson number ed her friends by the score, and around her old home near Mocksville many hearts were made sad at the news of her death She was a kind and loving neighbor and during illness and death in her commun ity she was a ministering angef to those who needed her services, and never failed to respond when she could be of help to the sick and afflicted. Many noble things could be said of this mother in Israel, but the greatest of all is to'say she was an humble follower of the lowly Nazarene, who Himself went about while on earth ministering to the poor and needy.

A common practise Is to manure the garden every year, late In the fall, or before planting in the spring, no fur ther attention being given. This prac tise, however, is not the best. ! The manure for the garden should j be kept in a large box with a lid, or so !screened that flies cannot enter it. IManureheapsarethenatural breeding : places of these pests and if they are !allowed to remain near the house, un- i covered, will prove a great nuisance. ; A good plan is to use a very close iwlre screen nailed to a frame with !hinges for the top. The manure should !be spaded often on the top so that the j water from the clouds or the sprin- Hcling pot may penetrate to all portions iof it If kept in a box a spout should be !placed in one corner, at the bottom, so !that the water may drain into a. sunken ,barrel. This will supply liquid manure !which can be used at all seasons when ‘vegetables and flowers are growing. The manure in the box should be (worked over once or twice a month, working the bottom to the top so that the entire heap may rot Manure may be kept in this manner if the boxes are placed at the farthest ,point in the garden from the house, land if surrounded with vines their j presence will never be noticed from !the dwelling. BAD WEED IN THE PASTURES ,Burdock Is Typical Back Yard Plant, But Is Found in Fence Corners | and AU Waste Places, • Burdock is a biennial plant with a large, deep tap root. The leaves, which are large, are generally fuzzy beneath, and the leaf stock is hollow. The first year the plant merely devel ops a leaf and root eystenr. The sec ond year the branched flowering stalk is sent up, sometimes six feet high. At the ends of the branches purple tipped flower burs are formed. The burdock is especially bad in sheep and horse pastures, as the burs get into the wool of the sheep and manes and tails of the horses. Burdock IiowerB in July and August and seeds in Sep tember. It is a typical back yard weed, but is found in fence corners and all waste places. Continued cutting will exhaust the !plants, and, In time exterminate them. 'The process may be hastened by cut- jtlng off deeply below the surface and Burdock—Showing Top of Plant With Burs, Also Large Leaf. applying a handful of salt or a few ; drops of gasoline or kerosene to the | root of each plant | ,Mangels for Cows. ; Mangels are good cow feed, but are not of high value as a horse feed. They contain about nine per cent of dry matter and 91 per cent water,. 1.1 per cent protein and six per cent car bohydrates and have a nutritive ration of 1:6.5. They are valuable as succu lence in feeding milk cows, a very im- -portant consideration when animals are being fed on dry hay or fodder -Where one has no silo to keep silage In. The mangels are far more valuable •for maintaining the healthfulness of the animal than for the food in them. Carrots are the best horse’s root feed In preference to all others and the sugar beet for swine and turnips for sheep. Spraying Outfits. 1 A barrel sprayer will spray from five to ten acres of orchard and costs, complete, from $12 to $30. A bucket sprayer is useful for whitewashing or spraying a dozen trees or less; costs $3;50 to .$8. .The small hand com pressed air and knapsack outfits are used for spraying potatoes, nursery trees, berries and vineyards. They cost from $5 to $15. All sprayers shouldhave brass working parts which are not injured by acids. Summer Diet for PJgs. ‘ In summer the animal heat is kept up with but little effort, and in conse quence a lighter diet should be fed to pigs. The food should be thinned down with wm e good sweet whey, kitchen slops or waste milk. The pigs’ will drink this with a relish, and it will be better for them in every way thaai tolcVheavy food, FERTILIZERS FOB BERRIES Tankage or Peruvian Guano, Ground Bone, Sulphate of Potash and Soda Are Recommended. The following are recommended In the culture of this fruit: Tankage or Peruvian guano, 600 pounds per acre; -fine ground bone, 1,000 pounds; low-grade sulphate of potash, 600 pounds; nitrate of soda, 100 pounds. AU these materials may be mixed, applied after plowing and before set ting plants and thoroughly incorporat ed in the soil by harrowing. Dried blood, 200 pounds per acre; low-grade sulphate of potash, 600 pounds tankage or Peruvian guano, 600 pounds; basic-slag, ^neal, 1,000 pounds; nitrate of soda, 100 pounds. The slag is not mixed with the blood, tankage or guano, as it causes a loss of ammonia. It is better to apply the slag by itself, but all of the others may be mixed before application.

When building fences note the shape of the fields, because it has much to do with the amount of fencing and material required to inclose or re construct it Thus: A square ten-acre field is 40 rods each way, and will therefore need half a mile of fencing. A ten-acre field four times as'long as wide is 80x20 rods, and will conse quently require 200 rods of fence, or 40 rods more than before; so that a square field needs less fencing than an oblong one of the same size. This is a point not often thought of by a good many. Some' Essentials. The essentials of success in farming seem to be: Good soil well maintained, good crops, the result of good seed and good tillage. Certainly expense must be as low as is consistent with doing these things. All of which are neces- nary to profitable faming. Best Diarrhoea Remedy. If you have ever used Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoee Remedy you know that it is a success. Sam F. Guin, Whatley, Ala., writes, “I had measles and got caught out in the rain, and it settled in my stomach and bowels.

BEWARE of OINTMENTS for CATARRH THAT CONTAIN MERCURY. There is more Catarrh in this sec cion o the conntry than all other diseases put together, and until the last few years was supposed to be incurable. For a great mauy years doctors pronounced it a localdis ease and prescribed local remedies, and by constantly failing to cure with local treatment, pronounced it inctfrable. Science has proven catarrh to be a constitutional dis ease and therefore requires consti tutional treatment. Hall’s Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J. Che uey& Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitutional cure on the mar ket. It is taken internally in doses from 10 drops to a teaspoon ful.

DICTED COMPTROLLER BE- FORE INQUEST. LATE STATE CAPITOL NEWS Review of the Latest News Gathered Around the State Capitol That Will Be of Interest to Our Readers Over North Carolina. Raleigh. Washington.—John Skelton Wil liams, comptroller ol the currency, told a special senate committee he had never had any financial interest in the gold mine a t Geld Hill, N. C., the promotion of which through use of senate stationery Is being investi gated by the committee. The comp troller said Walter G. Newman, who promoted the mine, had offered him some stock, but that he had declined to buy. Mr. Williams presented a telegram he had sent to Newman at Gold Hill, informing him that Berkeley Wil liams, the comptroller’s brother and Clevelan Perkins might look over the Gold Hill property with a view to in vesting. Mr. William denied, how ever, that he had arranged an ap pointment between Newman and Per kins in Washington. Mr. Williams produced a letter writ ten by Newman urging Williams to join in some stock ventures in which the promoter said he had Alaskan in terests greater than those of “the Guggenheims, Morgan or the Standard Oil crowd,” and promised to make the national city crowd green with envy.” Frederick P. Dewey, assayer and after director of the mint, told of making an investigation of the Gold Hill property wt the Instaftce-^ rfc" Williams, and Director of the Mint Roberts. He said that he found “there was no mine there, but there was a good prospect.” William C. Bishop, conducting an investigating agency employed by the Curb Market Association in New York said he investigated appearance on the curb of a letter written on sen ate stationery and lauding the Gold Hill enterprise. He said he found only about three copies of the let ter, but that these copies were shown to every man on the curb. He wrote to Senator Chilton about the letters, which were on he paper of his com mittee, . and the senator replied de nying all knowledge of . them. Senators Pomerene, of Ohio, and Swanson, of Virginia, testified they had bought stock in the mine at their own risk and on their own responsi bility. Mr. Swanson said he purchas ed at thirty cents a share and put ir ?5.000. Senator Pomerene did not specify the amount he owned. Assertions of Comptroller Williams that he had received no communica tions about the mine from Newman except a few telegrams were denied by the promoter when he was recall ed to the stand. Newman said he had two letters from the comptroller at his Gold Hili office. He offered to pro duce them, but Senator Thompson, chairman of the investigating com mittee, declined to receive them as he was anxious to conclude the inquiry. Cost of Hog Cholera Serum Lower.

President Wilson addressed the Virginia Editorial Association one day recently. In anBwer to the statement iu this studied address that “ the signs of a very strong business revival are becoming more and more evident," comes a great dry goods failure for $30,000,000. A few weeks ago the President was conceding that a depression in business existed, bnt he endeavor ed to explain it as merely “ psycho logical." This explanation did not answer so the President changed his note and announced that a business boom is at hand. He had scarcely done speaking when the news of the Glaflin failure came Io him like a slap in the face. This failure apparently is the di rect fruit of the conditions created by the legislation which the Presi dent has forced and is forcing upon the country. While it is the Iarg est it is not the only recent failure and it is but one of many indica tions of the instability Cf business and uneasiness of business men because of the policies which the President is compelling Congress to adopt keeping deaf to all re* monstrances and showing immov able confidence in the infallibility of his own individual judgment. Tbe President in his last address does not treat the writhings and sufferings of business as wholly imaginary, but ascribes it to the surgery to which he is subjecting it. H eterm sita “ minor opera tion to remove distemper and evils.” Wise surgeons do not sub ject their palients to fresh opera, dons before they have had a chance to recover from the exhaustion, suffering and depression of the dast. The tariff law revision kept our manufacturers in an agony if apprehension ^jd its evil conse quences for them and the working men of the country have only be gun. The currency bill was a new departure which business must adjust itself to and does not know yet how it will affect it. The several antitrust bills now being pressed are another and unneces sary piece of surgery which all business is* standing with difficulty and some cau not stand at all. In the face of this the President seeks to entertain his visitors with prophesies of good times at hand. It sounds like a hideous mockery. Put away your surgery table, Mr. President, with its knives and saws and lancets. Bind up the wounds of business and give it a Btimulant if you can, bvt in any case give it a rest. The business of the country was in robust health when you took hold of the government. It can stand much, but it cannot stand being on the Administration’s operating table and under its knife for nearly two years. Nineteen Thousand Drinks a Day. A prohibition campaign being on in Virginia, Col. Alfred B, Williams, editor of the Roanoke, ( V a .) Times, is investigating the workings of prohibition in the cit ies of this State. Writing to his paper from Charlotte, Col. Wil liams says: “ Chief of Police R. H. Moore says the shipments of liquor here average about 300 gallons a day. A t 64 drinks to the gallon, that is 19,000 drinks, two or three for ev ery male of voting age. There is much blind tigering and the' chief thinks it will COfitinne until the Legislature votes to exclude all. Iiquor from the State." The above is,, says Charlotte^s chief of police, a conservative e sti mate of ex pi ess shipments. It does not take into account liquor shipped by freight nor beer. Life is an earnest business, and no man was ever made great or good by a diet of nothing but broad grins. A WORD TO FARMER BOYS. Stay on The Farm And .Be Your Own Boss—Some Good Advice; Progressive Farmer. ■ There is one thing we would like to urge very,strongly in this issue, Mr. Farmer Boy, and that is that you stay on the farm where you can be your own boss, instead Cf going off to the city to . be some-7 body’s clerk or hired man—that is unless you have some some special marked.and definite talent for some paitieular work. It is true, of course, that ,the farmer does not now get ail the profit he ought to get—nor all he is going to get—but it is also true that the workingman in the coun try fares better than the working man in town. Read all you can, study all you can, and prepare yourself to be a good farmer—a genuinely wide awake, progressive farmer—and you will, nine chances out of teD, fare better than if you- should go to town. As we see it, the farmer’s day is coming. The thought of the world is turned as never before to build ing up the country. The Govern-, ment itself which was once inter ested in protecting manufactures,, developing manufactures, and bail ding up the towns, is beginning to: see that the source of all prosperity is the farm. But the one best sign is that the farmers themselves are getting aroused and studying their privileges and rights. Already: the awakening and organization of the farmers have resulted in. untold good, and you ought, to. .resql.v& now fhat there shall be a farmers’ organization In your neighborhood as long as you live. If you are over 16 years old, join the Farai- ers’ Union or whatever other or ganization is nearest you, and take an active part in it. Speak to your father about it. Another thing which insures better times for the Southern farm er is this: For a hundred years until recently we.have had to com pete with cheap land farmers iu ihe West. That is to Sayi any farmer’could go out West and stak e out a “ homestead," and sell his crops-without allowance for land values because his land cost him nothing, or practically nothing. Butall that is past. The cheap lands of the West have gone, and now when the Vi estern farmer sells his crops he must add $5 to $10 per acre as an allowance for rent or for interest on land values. And because of this fact crops simply can’t be sold as cheap as formerly. Then, too, city populations have increased faster than country pop ulations the whole world over, and it is becoming more and more <|Tf- ficult for the city people to get enough meats and food stuffs.- There are several million more people in the United-States,than there were fi ve years ago, while there are several million fewer meat animals. This is an indica tion that farm products must go higher, especially live stock. One of the greatest of the world’s stndentB of rural problems declared recently that in the future labor on the farm is going to be better, paid than labor in the towns, and we believe he is right. Stick to the farm. The devil never takes a vacation, in spite of which the fashionable clergyman likes to go abroad every summer. Has YovrChild Worms? Most children do.

AA good many people in this neck qf : the woods have always been.under Jheimpressionthat the • Democrats ' fould not under any circumstances place a negro in office. Listen to thisfroma Democratic paper: James B. Lloyd, of Tarboro, is Mated for recorder of deeds of - the pistrict of Columbia, if the Demo crats can prize Henly Lincoln John don, negro out of that place, and keep another negro from getting it. It has been understood for some time that Mr. Wilson’s campaign managers promised negro leaders in doubtful States to keep a negro in the recorder of deeds office. ALWAYS ACT THE FOOL i The Madison. Herald, democratic, is not sure but-that General Grant bad in mind the recent action of the democratic convention in nominat ing Major Stedman for Congress, Men he said that the Democratic party could always be depended on to act the fool.

Now if the Republicans will get together and not follow the example of the De mocrats there is a chance to elect a Republicanto Gongress from -the fifth distsict this year.—Exchange. JUST LISTEN. Before us is a paper nine-tenths of whose subscribers are farmers, and yet that same paper keeps up an everlasting knocking about the high cost of living. It knocks because the product of field, garden and dairy are away up in price and just will not come down, and whines because the Government does not do something to bring the price of things we have to-eat down to a lower level. We cannot figure it out how the editor of that, gaper looks his farqier sub- seKSers straight in the face: ^TE' is better for farm products to be high in price. Deliver us from the time when farm products have to be sold, at the cost of productions or below it, for such a time means stagnation in all lines of business.—Monroe Enquirer. • And yet the Enquirer and every other Democratic paper in the State, for that matter, joined in the Demo cratic campaign cry that if President Wilson was elected and the policies of their party were put into effect that the Cost of living would be re duced. And the people blindly fol lowed this »wil-o’-the-wisp, never stopping to think that when you re duce the price of anything you do not reduce the cost of production, but greatly lessen the PROFIT to the producer. And now Democrats are back-pedaling on this question as they are trying to do on the canal tolls and about everything else they promise to the people on the cam paign and in their platforms.—Un ion Republican. The time has about passed when the poor man, who gets drunk was made to pay damages by imprison ment, while the rich man, who got intoxicated, could pay his in dol Iars and cents, and still be pro claimed a “leading citizen.’’ GO WHERE YOU PLEASE EAT WHAT YOU PLEASE That is what you can do if you take Dodson’s Liver Tone. Many people know the danger of calomel,- yet they take it because they know of nothing better. Other people are not afraid of calomel, because they do not understand what a dangerous drug it is. Because it has never hurt them, they believe it never will. _ 7 No one needs to take dangerous calomel (which is j ust another form ol mercury). Crawford’s Drug Storesells Dod son’s Liver Tone for fifty cents a bottle and guarantee that it takes the place of ealomel.

IN AUSTRALIAN BUSH TRAVELER WRITES OF CHANGING ORDER OF THINGS. ~ Men Once Identified With the Opening of the Country Are Rapidly Pass ing—Much Like Our Own W est - “During the decade I spent wander ing to and fro on the face of tropical Australia I saw the old order slowly changing,” writes Bishop FVodsham in the Cornhill. “It has not yet quite gone, hut one by one the old hands are 'crossing the great divide—to use their own- metaphor, with its faint aroma’of the gum trees on the moun tain ranges that once separated’ the colonists from their land of pastoral promise. The successful men die in their southern homes—for as a rule these leave the North to build them selves mansions near Melbourne, or homes by one of the landlocked Inlets of Sydney Gove. “The unsuccessful ones do as they have often done before. They start out alone on their last journey. The busy workers who follow In their foot steps quickly forget the men who found and blazed the track. When they read In the papers that such and such an 'early citizen’ died at the local hospital or was found dead in his soli tary camp they remember for a while and then again forget Yet the bat tered old derelict was not infrequently one whose name will live In the no menclature of mountains, rivers, lakes and plains. "The story of Australian exploration holds alme old men from the chim ney corner and children from their play. Itisareco rd o fm en whoknew how- to face failure, and,-when neces sary, to die with dignity. “It is a strange thing that* gentle men, like women, when they fall, seem to go under completely—irretrievably. One blazing summer noon I met a rough-looking, man in the gray shirt and - mole-skin trousers so character istic, of,: the. bush. I remember that I Was similarly* clad: “Hb'warraTvlng as I was entering, a bush ‘hotel.’ W e •recognized each other at sight, al though we had not met since the night when I sat next him at his regimental mess. I asked him to come and see me at Bishop’s Lodge, and told him he could use any cognomen he liked. But, with the smile I remembered7 almost painfully, he refused. He had forgotten how- to behave, he said, and all I could urge did not shake his deter mination. There are many such. They meet their fate, as they met their dis grace, with a nonchalance that is-not the least valuable asset of a gentle man. “There are lower depths for gentle men than boundary-riding under an. assumed name—depths more abysmal because more hopeless. A man who is above the average gets on In Aus tralia far quicker than he could do normally in the old country. Such a man may retrieve a folly, even a dis grace, and build up again an honor able name. But what about the feeble folk who are sent abroad to relieve their friends at home of their pres ence, with a remittance paid regularly upon one condition—that they them selves do not Feturn ? The late Mr. Whymper used to say that the hardest task* of all in mountaineering was helping a weak climber. The same is true of these poor derelicts of family life. What is the frame of mind that makes fathers send such—sons of their own begetting—to the outposts of civilization? Is it the same short sighted optimism as that which makes their boys so little capable of. distin guishing between dreams and reality— castles In Spain and the squalid actu alities of a bush hotel?” : The Best and the Worst. This nation has now the best rail way service in the world, and the na tions, which own their railways have the worst. The American people have too much practical sense to trade a sound for a foundered horse. The United States controls its roads with out having actually to administer them. It has, therefore, every advan tage that government ownership could give and none of the disadvantages. It is the railroads only: that have any cause of complaint—-Public Ledger.

Billy has-just declared for woman suffrage. So mete it be. In an editorial last week, in re ferring to our circulation we said we had to mark off the names of 13 subscribers who owed us more. than a year’s subscription. Instead of 13 it should have read thirteen hund red. Thi3 means that we have be-n robbed of over $700 by our friends. The Winston Journal says that folks wanting a job should advertise in that paper. Judging from the way the Journal had been talking, we were under the impression that the manufacturers of the town were hiring armed men to meet all trains with instructions to compel every man alighting to go to work at fabu' Ious prices whether he wanted to oi not. Under a Republican adminis tration the manufacturers advertised for laborers, and now the Journal is advising the laborers to advertise for a job. Quite a contrast.. The fathers and mothers of Davie county oftentimes make dangerous mistakes by permitting their daugh ters to go to Winston to work and to live among strangers. Within the past few weeks we have heard of two or three Davie girls who have been brought down in shame and disgrace in onr neighboring city. Some one is to blame. In all cities there are a set of nlen who make it their business to entice young girls and:lead them to destruction. Far better to let your daughters remain at home clothed in rags, than to per mit them to go to the city and live among strangers without protection, where death-traps and pitfalls are to be found on every corner. Keep the innocent girls at home, awr.y from the vice infested cities, where the devil runs loose at all times and sin is winked at. The preachers in the city and country should lift up their voices against this evil and cry aloud and spare not. On the day of Judgmentit will be more tolerable for the inhabitants of Sodomi and Gomorrh than for the base wretches who succeed in planting the feet of our innocent girls in the path that leads down to hell. Fathers! Moth ers! Keep your daughters a t. home surrounded by good influences. It may be that you cannot dress them as well as the city girls, but you will have the assurance'', that they art living a pure life, instead of taking such awful risks as you will by per mitting them to . go to the cities where snares and temptations, beset them, and virtue is held at a prem ium. Consider well. The editor is thinking of running for office. A desire to get to the pie counter has assailed him in a fierce manner. This being the case he went out to bush whacking last week, and is very much encouraged over the reception given him. One of the first men he met was a lead ing Republican,‘a man who has held office since the editor was a boy. This man was kind enough to tell us that if we made the race he would take delight in eracing our name from his ticket. VVe told the old gentleman that we could not blame him if he did, and would be sur prised if he didn’t. Fact is, we have been eradicating his name from our ballot for the past four years. We are running bn a gold standard platform, capped over with black berry pie. If elected, we propose to do all in our power to put the county officers on a salary, to have a dog law passed; to permit no man to hold office for more than two terms except ourself, who shall runas long as we think there is any chance of being elected. We also pledge our self to do all in our power to dis courage the use of mean corn whis key and tainted money during the campaign and on election day. If whiskey and money have to be used let the best brand of Canadian Club Ryebe imported, and new $5 Gov ernment bills be distributed which have never before passed through the marts of trade. Again, if elec- ted, we pledge half our salary to be used to pension officeholders who think the -Republican party owes them a life-time job. Other planks may be inserted in our platform be fore the county convention. If so, you will be fuliy advised. If you like our platform vote for us—if not, vote for yourself. We are now. shaking hands with every man who comes to.town and handing out good cigars,' which we shall continue to do until the polls close on the evening of November 10th, at which time the cigars will stop and the hand shakes will be few and far between. Major T. J. Brown Dead. Major T. J. Brown, one of Win ston’s oldest and most highly re spected citizens, died Friday after noon, after a long illness, at the age of SI years.

George is an active candidate for Register of Deeds on the Republican ticket, and prospects look bright for him to get the nomination. Reports from the various townships ih the countv would indicate that his friends are busy in his behalf and will give him their undivided support. - As The Record remarked a few weeks ago, George is a clever youns man, a life long Republican, and has the ability to fill the office with credit to him self and the party he represents. A leading citizen of the county remark- e I yesterday that he had never heard Georgesayan unkind word about any man, and he has known him all his life George is a deserving young man, and The Record hopes that he will receive the nomination.

At the Farmers’ Institutes we wish to discuss different methodB of soil improvement, the growing of live stock, the cultivation of crops, selecting seed, and various other tniugs iu which the farmers of the vicinity are interested. We have at the institute a question box and invite the farmers to drop into it questions they would like to have discussed. We. are wanting the day to be one of pleasure and profit to all who attend. Mr. J. P. Kerr, of Alamance county, will conduct the institute party. He will be assisted by A. L. French, farmer and agricultural correspondent, of Rockingham Co., and others. Local men are inviced to come out and discuss questions in which ihe farmers ot the com munity are interested. At the same time and place a Woman’s Institute will be conduc ted by Mrs. W. N. Hollowell, of Goldsboro, Miss Maria Parris, and Miss BeuIa Arey. At this meeting subjects pertaining to honschqjd affairs, cookery, the care of child ren, the care of the sick, and num erous other things will Bei discuss ed. The women’s institute should be largely attended by the women of the community. If it is worth while for the men to come together to discuss better methods of farm ing, stock taising, etc., it is even more so for the women to come out to discuss the more important problems of health, child training, saving strength, food problems, etc., subjects in whieh we are all vitally interested. Three premiums will be given at the women's institutes as fol lows: 1st. To the woman living on the farm, who is over'20 years old, baking and exhibiting' the highest scoring loaf of bread, a year’s subscription to a womans magazine. 2nd. To the girl under 20 years of age, living on the farm, baking and exhibiting the best' loaf of biead, a year’s subscription to a woman’s magazine. Only one: of the above premiums ’will be given to the same family. 3d. To the girl under 16 baking: and ex hibiting the best pone of corn bread, a premium.

A ■widely-known member of congress ■who, on occasions, Is more bibulous than lie would care to have his con stituents know about, wondered un steadily into a popular Washington manicuring parlor ^one morning, un covered his fevered head, and de manded a shampoo. Th© presiding Venus of the place looked nonplussed for a moment; then, with her best company smile, bade him he seated In a spindle-legged chair that groaned a protest against the legislator’s two hundred pounds. A girl friend of the manicurist's, seated in a corner of the room, watched the proceedings with interest The fair operative next wound a towel around the neck of her patron, and allowed the contents of a brown bottle to trickle from the bald spot on the top of his head to the sparse growth of hair that bounded it on three sides. “Smells like—like tar," observed the- patron, as she began rubbing the liquid into his scalp. “I guess there Is some tar In it,” she confessed. “It’s'th e very latest preparation from Paris; good for a cold in the head, too, which you seem to have.” The girl continued to rub for ten minutes, after which she lathered the congressman’s pate with soap and soused his head under the spigot at the washstand. “Best shampoo ever had,” he re marked, passing her two dollars. When he had gone, the manicurist calmly poured out a spoonful of the shampoo lotion and drank It. “What in the world are you. doing?” cried her friend. “Taking cough syrup. Why?” “But you used it on that man’s head!” “Sure. It’s the only thing I had; and that’s the first shampoo I ever gave in my life. But I never let any money get away, and I’m willing to try anything once.”—Illustrated Sun* day Magazine.

The white man halted his mules, jumped down from his wagon and made a rush for Whese the darky was perched, still jawing. He grabbed the negro by the leg, yanked him off his seat, hit him a stunning blow before he ever touched the earth, and in 20 seconds had whipped him soundly and was back on his own wagon driving away. A policeman hurried up. The vic tim still lay on the ground dazed, bleeding and gazing up at the sky •with his one undamaged eye. “What’s the matter here, man?” de manded the officer, shaking the pros trate and battered darky. “A w’ite man done beat me up!” explained the negro. “Who was he?” "Bunno, boss—I never seen him befoah.’-’ “Well, then, describe him!” insisted the policeman. “What did he look like?” “Boss,” confessed the negro, “hit wuz all over so quick I didn’t git a good look at him; but say, boss, you won’t have no trouble,findln’ him— he’s de doin’est man dey is in dis whole town!” — Saturday ' Bvening Post.

He completed & piece of work for a large corpora tion and was compelled to sue for hia fee, which was $25,000. He was being cross-examined by the attorney acting as counsel for the corporation: “On what ground do you base your exorbitant charge for this miserable piece of work?” “On the ground that I am the great est engineer In the world.” After the suit had been concluded, one of Smith’s friends came to him and, in an admonishing tone, said: “Smith, you should never make such statements in ' public j allow others to acclaim you aB the greatest in your profession.” Smith answered: “I know It, and I felt like a blooming Idiot up there on the stand—but, blast it all, I was un der oath.” j “Tlii Can” Professor.

As long as these cor rosive vibrations are turned Jnto the organism it is impossible for perma nent health to exist; and on the oth er hand, as soon as they are reversed, the life power which originally built the body Is perfectly capable of re building and setting It to rights. To strive to force it do so by the use of chemical irritants, while at the same time destructive thought is allowed to continue its work, Is absurd.— Nautilus. Ybur Attention; Democrats.

Please!’ Paderewski bowed very gravely. “Madame,’ he said, “I shall be delight ed to help you.

NORTH CAROLINA/ WEDNESDAY. JULY 29, 1914T STEEL and th e t a r i f f JUDGE GARY’S STATEMENT THAT b u s in e s s is in ju re d . People Realizing That Corporation Baiting Can Be Carried Too Far and That Democratic Prom ises Are Not Fulfilled. In a talk before the subsidiary com- n ie s ot ti,e United States Steel Cor poration Judge Gary, president of the greater corporation, declared that In Uie steel business conditions during the past three months have been vorse than they had been during any other period for a whole decade. And be declared it to be his personal opin ion that the tariff passed by the pres ent congress is in large degree re sponsible for the decreased activity In the steel and iron industries of the United States. Of course, talk from such a source cuts a very small figure with this corporation hunting administration and the present congress. But the people of these United States are very plainly and apparently waking up to the fact that corporation bait ing is a game that can be carried too far—that, in fact, it has already been .carried Ioo far. As to the Democratic tariff, which has not yet been in ef fect for a full year, even the depart mental reports show that so far from fulfilling the inflated promises made before its enactment, as to decreasing the living cost, putting new life into business and sending a prosperity ware over the country such as had never before been known, it has In all these respects worked In the contrary direction. What Judge Gary says of the new tariff as it concerns the steel indus tries is true also with regard to many other branches of manufacturing in dustry. The reports of the department of commerce show that for April and May of this year, as compared with April and JIay of last year, when the Payne tariff was In effect, the sale of foreign products In the American mar ket increased by $57,000,000. During the last fiscal year that the Payne tariff was in effect the United States sold abroad steel products aloife to the value of over $300,000,000. Under the Democratic tariff the American manufacturer apparently finds compe tition more difficult both In his home market and the foreign markets.—Bal timore American. Dangerous Proposal. - The proposal for the recall- of Judi cial decisions, even those of the Su preme court, with which rests the final interpretation of the Constitution, is an extremely dangerous proposal. It is a proposal to substitute the will, which is often the whim, of not neces sarily a majority but conceivably a mere plurality of tbs people, for the mature, deliberate and informed judg ment of men not only learned in the law, but, as ex-President Taft says, 'as impartial and independent as hu man contrivance can make them, able to distinguish the fundamental prin ciples of law from the casual rule, made with responsibility for consist ency with past adjudications and with a proper regard for that uniformity in operation that should characterize lust laws and their administration.”— Philadelphia Press. As to the Currency Law. John Skelton Williams, comptroller of the currency, says the new currency will put an end to plutocracy and Mi invisible government, more power- in many respects than the visible Sovernment that has been restricted J no limits, and that has been allowed o reach into the vaults of our banks, nnfes of our merchants and the cupboards of our housewives.” A fine Iterance to win applause from those ankers and merchants and house- Tes in the gallery who do not pause reflect that there has been no readi ng into their vaults and safes and cup- noards except in Mr. Williams* catch- Wnphrase8- Andl 11 ther® had beett- h* Illliame' ebuIWMon would BtUI fall . rt of explaining how the cur- cy law would put a stop to It.

The Bemoeratic tariff is working out successfully the purpose ot the President in subjecting our home producers to foreign competition. It is also bringing about some re sults apparently not anticipated by its supporters. The United States Department- of Commerce has published the figures of the first seven months of the new tariff. This shows that the free imports haye increased $83,465,734. That is competition for our home producers. It- is - a displacement of that value of Ame rican-grown wool and other farm products and of various manufac tured products made by American work men. It means nearly eighty- three and a half millions spent abroad in these seven months, which a year ago were expended and distributed in - the United' States. ’’ This was to be expected. A De mocratic tariff is intended to stim ulate importation and the Under? wood law is doing this. But the theory is that our exportB will be’ increased in order to pay for these importB, but such is not the case. In this same seven months our ex ports fell off $112,466,783, as com pared with the- corresponding months a year ago, while the in come of the Government from cus toms duties has in the same period fallen off $29,110,217. The figures are official and must tell the truth. Every suceeeding month makes a worse showing against the Democratic tariff law. The men who have been thrown onto! work in the Iastthree months oannot help but realize that they have been iaorificed and that the’ competition of cheap foreign labor has taken their jobs away from. them, The champions of the De mocratic tariff law will have to defend this in the coming cam paign. They should explain, top, why the offsetting advantages claimed for a low tariff has - failed to.arrive, so that while the country has largely increased its importa tions, it is Belling less to foreign nations than it did under the .Re publican protective tariff.—Union Republican. Judge PeeMes Comes Back. Greensboro Record. Judge Peebles has notified The Goldsbora Record that it mustcoiue across with an apology or take the consequences. The paper accused the judge of getting drunk and going to sleep in another’s bed, all of which the judge says is untrue. In answer Ihe Goldsboro paper in effect stands pat; in other words, it will justify—seek to prove what it said. The editor says he may be sent to jail, in which caBe he will take along with him a writing had and “ dole” out some stuff that is in reality red . hot. Things aregrowingjust a little dull and there seems to be an op portunity to create a breeze. It is said Judge Peebles claims -he has not been drunk Bince he was 14 years of age, but that he likes his toddy and takes one when in the notion. In reply to this the news paper comes back and asks if a case of liquor is required for a “ toddy now and then,” intimating that his honor orders it at whole sale prices. Why not? One should use economy in buying anything, especially liquor.. In addition it takes some time to get it and it - is well to have it.on hand.

The W ayto Do-It Is-to -Save Profits. That Now Go to Unnecessary Para sites and Middlemen. J. Z. Green, in Progressive Farmer. Home and Farm says: “There is one common sense proposition that ought always to be injected into every debate carried on by philanthropists, teachers, reform- ers,uplifters, politiciansand states men who are discussing the lamen table conditions in our rnral re gions, in advancing theories con cerning the cause and the remedy: This proposition is that farming mugf be made more profitable; that- is, that the American farmer, if he is to be kept at work ou the farm, must get a larger proportion of the steadily increasing production of all crops.” “ Farming must be made more profitable!” That’s the idea that Ihave been hammering on from one end of Korth Carolina to the other for six years. If you’ll stop interfering with the farmer’s prof its you’ll soon begin to see a trans formation taking place in the rnral districts. If you’ll simplify and correctly adjust marketing condit ions so as to eliminate parasites and superfluous middlemen that stand between producer and cou- snmer, you’ll increase the size oj the farmer’s dollar until he can begin to provide better home con veniences and keep his buildings painted. If youwill protect the farmer against imposition by-city markets, by commission merchants by commercial trusts and by tranB portation. companies he will put carpets on his floors, and; pianos in his home, and make his general home surroundings more attractive If you’ll so arrange your financial system as to: give him as much credit, and as easy credit, at the same rate of interest the city man pays, he will uotbe compelled to buy his fertilizer at a “time” price that is equivalent to 20 or 30 per cent interest.. Ali of your “ up lifting” will continue to be pain fully disappointing if you neglect to look after the things that inter fere with the farmer’s profits.* ' * I have time, and again referred to the appalling waste in a -distri butive system that keeps up three times as many distributing agencies in every town as are needed to render the sei vice. It makes it doubly hard on the farmer to keep up so many superfluous agencies because they tax him at both ends of the transaction—on what he sells and also on what he buys. The multiplicity and overlapping of service by the fixed agencies' is indeed bad enough, but at this season of the year a great army of transcient agents are invading the rural districts and, by over persua sion, are selliDg at three prices such things as sewing machines, ranges, organs, pictures, etc, Thru this, channel farmers ot Korth Car olina are paying out millions of dollars annually for things that they had not intended to buy, and things that might be bought col lectively through Local Unions'.at one-third the price paid to travel ing agents. The item of fruit trees alone runs up into the hundreds of thousands of dollars, and the prices eharged by fruit tree agents arc limited only by the persistency and nerve of- the promoting ag nt. Members'of Tocal Unions can pro? tect themselves from imposition of traveling agents by concert of ac tion. For i nstance, members should agree to bny nothing from an agent unless the article sold is = reeom • mended, both as to quali ty and pr ce, by the officers of the Local Union. It is-true that with' this arrangement ;= there would, rarely ever be any recommendations, but- it would be a protection and a sav ing to the community. “ ^ In the meeting'of Local iUnions "nils an pccasional discussion of . errors amidktravagances will be benefic iali- For instance, the habit -of buying new baggies “on - time’’ will be in evidence within the next few weeks, by' the time the first bolls of cotton begin to reach ma turity. It is bad business to go in debt for things we are not com pelled, to have, even if we could get the right kind of price. ' But buggies are never sold on time at casTi prices. A friend of mine went to a local buggy dealer last summer and wanted the best grade buggy. The dealer toid him frankly and confidentially that he didn’t- carry in stock at that season the kind of buggy he wanted. It was at the seasomof the year when farmers foolishly gb'Tp. debt, on crop pros pects; for new buggies. The dealer pretended to Bell them at cash price's, but he kept only the low gradq buggies, which he sold at high-grade prices. Farmers are not posted on grades and the deal er very shrewdly avoided keeping iu stock at that season any high grade buggies, for a close compari son would reveal the= difference in quality. Tbere areso many ways that farmers are “skinned” that it would require quite a while to describe them all in detail. Mat ters of this kind afford an -oppor tunity to develop the “ education al”. Igit of the Farmers’ Union profitably. * * * - During the months of July and Angusiis the proper time to dis cuss I'fertiiizerS” in your i Local Unioil, not the kind of -commercial stuff that we get crazy over in the spring,’but the kind that is pro- duciSdTf^:8owing clover.aud: wetch-: es As long as we spend five or ten dollars per acre for commercial fertilizers in March and refuse to spend $1 50 per acre lor clover seed in September, we may expect dis appointment and failure. If one fourth the amount Korth Carolina farmers spend for commercial fer tilizers were invested in clover seeds and lime for the next . five years I think it is safe to assume that it would reduce the cost of production at least 50 per cent, with a still further reduction if we continued using clover seed as our fertilizer. See that the “clover fever” breaks out in your Local Uuion between now and:September. TAKING CALOMEL IS DANGEROUS. Calomel is a powerful chemical made from mercury— people Should be careful about its use. The only sure way to avoid the danger of calomel is to take no oalomeL Dodson’s Liver Tone, a vegetable liquid of pleasant taste, mote than takes its place. Where calomel shakes you up and- shocks your liver and often makes you really sick, Dodson’s Liver Tone, mild' but effective, builds up and Btren ethens. - It “livens up ther liver.” You feel fine after taking it. Dodson’s may be taken without any restriction of diet or habits. Yon can give it to your children with fine results.

The following incident happened, to a “practical” miner, who ’ has made his mine and stake, and - is -still at the game. He had a group of claims about-a mile from= a prospect that was producing ore and his persistency was finally rewarded by.findingcolors on the surface, after, which he secured capital which enabled him to .sink and cross-cut to the main chute, from .which he shipped a -car a day of $100 ore, until a mill was finally erected, which is still running, says a writer for the Engineering and Mining Jour nal. One of-the ore haulers one eve ning, after leaving the corral, entered the restaurant and I saw= him hand a friend, “Slim,” a specimen about three inches square and one-half to one inch thick, that had- half of one fiat side streaked with gold, the metai having been apparently deposited in a crevice and exposed when the rock was broken. With it he showed the broken extension which was consider ably larger, the ends of the two fitting perfectly. About a week later he sold the larger portion for $15- to a Denver mining man, who placed it In his pri vate collection at home. He gave me permission to examine it-, the follow ing day, and I soon saw the joke. The rock was especially fitted for the work, and had been skillfully painted with banana oil and picture-frame gilt. The mine owner producing the ore hauled was tipped off that= some nice speci mens were being found,- and when he saw the one Slim had, he at once bought it for $5, and also several of the other ones in circulation, which now-repose in his and other private collections. This is a case of where an owner’s own ore was salted and sold to himself. • On "Finding Out.” An .osteopathic practitioner who turned on the gas In a room In his summer. cottage on Long = Island the other day, and went to join the in numerable caravan,- left' these: words behind--him: “I’ll soon -find out.” Whether he has found; out or^not, probably no-, one !.will' ever find out? These: = personal researches into the unknown remain - themselves un known. Has the problem of life, present or future, ever been solved by giving it up altogether.? That is something which the ordinary intelligence very much doubts. : If common sense helps us to any conclusion in the matter,, it is that w e learn rather more about what is In .the cup that is offered us by draining it to the dregs than we do by putting it from our lips. The eternal mystery Is not to be solved by the aid of morphine, or the fumes of gas, or the impact of cold lead.

The Winston Journal says that the Republican convention at Wilkes- boro last week was the most dis graceful ever held in North Garo lina. The Journal has surely forgot ten about the recent Democratic Congressional convention which met at Goldsboro. Davie Republicans can learn a Ies son by heeding the Ropublican 'con vention proceedings at Wilkesboro last week. The boys over there had a scrap which resulted from the ring trying to nominate a man or two who had been holding office nearly a decade. Such tactics won’t work much longer, even in old Davie. We following is an extract from a speech delivered at the recent Press Association: ‘ Get it out of your head that you are helping the news paper when you buy something it has to sell. There is nothing under the sky in all this State of North Garolina that gives more in exchange for what it gets than the • country newspaper. The man who still hangs to that antiquated notion that he is helping to support his village paper might as well figure that he is sup porting the mill that makes his flour, of the soil that provides him his Iiv ing. The fact that he is getting ev ery dav indefinately more than he pays for or he will ever pav for, for in addition to being one of the great est assets of the State the newspa pers is one of the most easily worked, _<• —--- We are still in the face but our pocketbook is a little disfigured. Seems to us that about everybody in the county has quit work and gone to smoking cigars—at our ex pense. This thing of running for office is not what it is cracked up to be. A felIow hasto tell so many lies and spend so much money. Com petition is too great. The voters are good fellows but they want too much, some of them actually want to see us get beat. In the future, to reduce expenses, no man who ex.- pects to vote against will receive but one cigar, and a cheap one at that. Our credit is already strained, and the campaign has hardly started We started out too early but it was our compeditors who are responsible for this misfortune. We are .doing very nicely, and things are coming our way. Up to this writing we have shook hands with 810 voters and dispensed cigars without num ber. Another man has promised to vote against us if we run, all of which is very encouraging, and we wish to say right here that we are in the race to the finish. Onr friends are cautioned not to believe any re ports started against us, for all men are liars, the editor included. We are running on the Republican and not the Bull Moose ticket; There seems to be three parties these days, and our oonscience won’t let us run on two tickets. Some officeholders and office seekers have no conscience ind would run on all three ticfeti if they could. Ofeoarse we want all the votes we can get from both the Progressive and Democraticpar- ty, but let it be understood that we* are an old line Abe Lincoln Radical. Ourenemiesarealready taking ad vantage of ns. Last Thursday night while we were sleeping the sleep of an, exhausted candidate, some illus trious patriot, trying to emulate the seasoning” we had. We felt a little blue over it for awhile but then we thought if it didn’t rain soon the beans would not grow and then w.e wouldn’t need the meat. There is nothing like taking a cheerful view of thingk In the meantime if we have anything else anybody wants please come forward and take it at once, This campaigning is fierce, IIIIIfitifi Ih n tiin i run by the Republicans to unite with the Republican party in this State and have only one ticket in the field in opposition to the Democrats. Mr. Walser very emphatically declines, and that means a divided opposition; in other words three parties. In most counties of the State three tickets in the field means Republican defeat The question of amalgama tion of the two parties. Republican and Progressive, is a vital one in our own county. Two years ago the Re publican convention was captured by the Progressives and the regular Republicans were set down upon, and a Progressive was elected Coun ty Chairman, and we are informed that he voted the Progressi ve ticket, at least for Mr. Roosevelt. .This be ing the case, and if he is still a Pro gressive, the Republican party is without a head in Davie county, and it strikes us that it is time for the Republicans to organize and elect a straight Republican Gounty Chair man. Mr Taft, the Republican can didate for president in 1912, receiv ed over 800 votes in Davie, nearly three times as many as were cast for the Progressive candidate. Now if the Progressives are going to join hands with the Republicans in Davie this year it is time that we know it, for its going to take hard work and unity to carry the county. Let’s have a meeting and try to find out “where we are at” before the Con veution meets, for we want no em barrassing questions to arise in the convention. If there is a Progress ive party in Davie let them come out in the open, so that the Republicans may know whether its to be a two or a three-cornered fight. Let’s sail under true colors, or not attempt to sail at all. A Bit of War History. Editor Record:—Fifty-three years ago today, on Sunday, July 21,1861, I belonged to Gapt. J. K..Connally’s Company from Yadkin county; Col W. W. Kirkland’s Regiment Ilth N. C. Volunteers. We were in the first battle of Manassas. Our place in the line of battle was at Mitchell’s Ford, Bull Run, on the main road leading from Manasses Junction via Centerville and Fairfax court house to Washington City, 21 miles. I was in the C. S. Army over 4, years, and this was the, only time I ever saw the Northern army completely whip ped, routed, scattered and demoral ized.

Winstoh Journal, 23rd. A near-accident, which resolved itself into an amusing episode with little damage, occurred on the South ern Railway just west of Advance station yesterday afternoon as train No. 28 was coming to Winston-Salem from Charlotte, a buggy being part ly wrecked and its occupants; two young men by the names of Garwood and Hilton being thrown out. Just before reaching Advance, the passengers on the train perceived a sudden slowing down, and the noise of the brakes. AU windows went up and heads were put out to ascer tain the trouble.. Those on one side of the train saw a mule with half- wrecked buggy making his way a cross a field at wild gallop, jump clear over a woven wire fence, and continue on his flight with the re main* of the buggy following in the air.

It was re ported that they were crossing the railroad in a. heedless manner, and that instead of noticing the train and hurrying up the mule, the dri ver made a> motion as if tightening the reins. The engineer declared that he blew the whistle, rang the bell, and brought his train to as quick a stop at possible. Bat he one. the wheels, turning the occupants out, and setting the mule on his wild flight over field and fence. The conductor found a partly filled bottle of whisky on the scene of the accident, but the occupants of the buggy denied ownership. Thewhole thing resolved itself into a hearty laugh, despitb the narrow escape.

Beekeeping for pleasure and profit Is carried on by many thousands of people In all parts of the United States. There are many places where an experienced beekeeper can make a'; good living by devoting his . entire ' time and attention to this line of work. It is, usually unwise, however, to undertake extensive beekeeping, the I IT. S. department of agriculture: says, without considerable previous J experience on a small scale, since- there are so many minor details which go to make up success. The average annual honey yield per colony for the entire country, under good management, will probably be twenty-five to thirty pounds of comb honey or forty to fifty pounds of ex tracted -honey, the latter being more productive owing to the fact that the / comb is used repeatedly instead of be ing made anew by the bees each time. The money return to be obtained from the crop depends entirely on the mar ket and the method of selling the honey. If sold direct to the consum er, extracted honey brings from ten to twenty cents per pound, and comb honey from fifteen to twenty-five cents per section. If sold to dealers, the price varies from six to ten cents for extracted honey and from ten to fifteen cents for comb honey. The location of the hives is a mat ter of considerable importance. As a rule it is better for hives to face away from the prevailing wind and to be protected from high winds. In the North, a south slope is desirable. It is advisable for hives to be so placed that the sun 'will strike them early in the morning, so that the . bees be come active early in the day, and thus gain an advantage by getting the first honey flora,and the record of that place. The beekeeper must then de cide for himself the best number to be kept and where they shall be placed. -Hives. The type of hive most generally used in this country consists of a plain wooden box holding frames hung from a rabbet at the top and not touching the sides, top or bottom. Hives of this type are made to hold eight, ten or more frames. 'Whatever hive is chosen, there are certain important points which should be insisted on. The material should be of the best; the parts must be ac curately made, so that all frames or hives in the apiary are interchange able. All hives should be of the A Ten-Frame HIve With Comb-Honey Super and Perforated Zinc Queen Excluder. supply of nectar. It is also advan tageous to bave the hives shaded dur ing the hottest part, of the day, so that the bees will not hang out in front of the hive instead of working. They should be so placed that the bees will not prove a nuisance to passers- by or disturb live stock. This latter precaution may save the beekeeper considerable trouble, for bees some times prove dangerous, especially to horses. Bees are also sometimes an noying In the early spring, for on their first flights they may spot clothes hung out to dry. This may : be remedied by removing the bees from the cellars on days when -no clothes- are to be hung out. The plot on which the hives are placed should be kept free from weeds, especially in front of the en trances. The grass may be cut with a lawn mower, but it will often be found more convenient and-as efficient to pasture' one or more head of sheep In the apiary inclosure. The hives should be far enough apart to permit of-free manipulation. If hives are too close togeth& there is danger of bees entering the' wrong . hive, on returnipg, especially .in the - spring.- ' ”5- As a . rule, it is not considered best to, keep more than one hundred colonies in one apiary, and apiaries ■should be at Ieaat tIwo miles apart There are so many factors to be con- . staered, however, that no general rule can be laid down. The only way to Ieera how many colonies any given .locality will sustain is to itudy the Spring Bee Escape. same style and size, and should be as simple'as it is possible to make them, to facilitate operation. As a rule, it is better to buy hives and frames from a manufacturer of such goods rather than to try to make them,.un less one is an expert woodworker. Hives should be painted to protect them from the weather., It is usually desirable, to use white paint to pre vent excessive heat In the colony hot weather. Other light colors are sat isfactory, but it is best to avoid red or black. ' Hlve Standsi - I Generally' it is best to have each' hive on a separate stand. The en trance should be lower than any other part of the hive. Stands or wood, bricks, tile, concrete blocks, or any other convenient material will an swer the purpose. The hive should be raised above the ground, so that the bottom will not rot. It is usually not necessaiy to raise the hive more than a few inches. Directions for Manipulations. Bees should.be handled so that they will be little disturbed in their work. As much as possible, stings should be avoided during manipulation. This is true, not so much because they are painful to the operator, -but because the odor of poison which gets into the air irritates the other bees and makes them more difficult to manage. For this reason it is-most advisable to Wear a black veil over a wide- brimmed hat and to have, a good smoker. Gloves, however, are usually more an inconvenience than other wise. Gauntlets or rubber bands around the cuffs keep the bees from crawling up the sleeved It is best to avoid black clothing, since that color seems to excite bees;' a black felt bat is especially to be avoided. Superfluous Quick movements tend to irritate the bees. The hive should not be jarred or disturbed any more than necessary. Bapid movements are objectionable, because with their peculiar eye structure bees probably perceive motion more; readily than they do objects. Persons not accus tomed to bees, on approaching a hive, often strike at bees which fly toward them or make some quick movement of the head or hand to avoid the sting which they fear is to- follow. This- should not be done, for the rapid movement, even if not toward the bee, is far more likely to be followed by a sting than is remaining quiet. The best time to handle bees is dur ing the middle of warm days, partic ularly during a honey flow. Never C I B p E3r r ^ " 3 KnlvesforUncappingHoney. handle bees at night or on cold, wet days unless absolutely necessary.’ The work of a beginner may be made much easier and more pleasant by keeping gentle bees. Caucasians, Carmolans, Banats and some strains of Italians ordinarily 4o not sting much unless unusually - provoked or except in bad weather. Common black bees or crosses of blacks with other, races are more irritable. It may be well worth while for the be ginner, to procure gentle bees while gaining experience -In ’manipulation. Hater on, this is less important, for the beekeeper learns to handle bees with little inconvenience to himself or to the bees?,-Various remedies for bee stings have been advocated but I they are "all useless, - ’ , - 1 - , K- - ABroadHint.
