NORTH CAROLINA. ^WEDNESDAY. SEPTEMBER 2, 1914 NUMBER 7 European War Shows Value of protective Policy. Economic NeceM lty In That It Would Make the United 8 tatea lndustri- ally independent of AU For eign Countries. The expression has b^en heard fre- enllr of late t hat the European war, to all intents and purposes, Berves the manufacturing industries of the United Gtates almost In the same manner and degree as a protective tariff, In other rrords, if the producers of Europe are taken'fro® the fleWs and thS ehoPs and sent to the front, there will he a serious fa llin g off In the Imports, leav ing Americans In full possession of tkelrown market. Such a view is subject to various qualifications. The essential factor, of course, Ia to obtain the necessary ships. As an equivalent to the policy of tariff protection, a European war is iidly deficient in that it lops off mil lions from the tariff revenues of the government. Whatever gain may ac crue to the manufacturers is at the expense of the treasury. What the European war does ac complish, however, is the illustration of the ecomonic necessity of tariff pro tection at all times. The principle of protection was forcibly brought home to the American people during the Na poleonic wars, when American states men showed clearly that the American public should not be placed at the mercy of Europe. The great argu ment for protection at that time was to have industries so firmly estab lished in the United States that no Eu ropean war could deprive us of man ufactured articles. The present crisis points to the same conclusion. It shows that it is absolutely necessary for the United States to be made in dustrially independent of foreign coun tries and to be brought to the point where it can produce for itself every thing needed by its own people. It has been a favorite argument with Uie tariff-for-revenue-only men that lfany industry could hot compete-suc cessfully with the cheap labor prod ucts of Europe, such an Industry, in line with true economy, should be permitted to die. If such a policy had heen followed by the United States in the past, it would mean that the na tion would be utterly unable to sup port itself In the present European crisis. Even now the war will deprive the United States of many articles, such as chemicals used In agriculture and manufacturing, and would like wise deprive the country of many manufactured articles, such as tex tiles. metals, etc., if such industries had not been well established under the protective policy at home. Whatever else the general war In Europe may show, it cannot fail to demonstrate not only the value, but the absolute economic necessity of a Protective tariff. Return to Republicanism.. In spite of the enormous crops and the general prosperity In the agricul tural districts of the grain-growing states, there has grown up a deep conviction among those who aban doned the Republican party, to follow the leadership of Colonel Roosevelt, that it was a big mistake. At the some time Democrats in those states admit their supreme disappointment trith the conduct of the government Li' their party. The administration jaay be told by politicians with axes to grind that the sentiment of the country la largely with it, but W those ntereated would send out some disin terested emissaries to find out from Personal contact with the voters of :jhe West what the real sentiment is, “my would discover that the pros- TOs at this time favor the return of U1 ""PuLItcan to congress from two 1 6Jtcta out of three which the Re publicans lost four yearB ago.

Bilious- etc., -Do-Lax, Laxative, deranged tone Use have Get if not Eeeently there have appeared in The Progressive Farm er several letters telling why we need a dog law in every Southern State, and for this reason I will give my ex perience trying to raise a few sheep. In Jane, 1913,1 purchased eight head of sheep irom one of my pros perous neighbors, who sold them to keep his own dogs from killing them. I. Ieftthem on free range until I could get a field ready to turn them into, where I kept them until April, 1914. The seven ewes had brought eight lambs in Febru ary, and they were looking well when I turned them ont on the open range in April. In June I sold one buck lamb and one of the old sheep for $9.65, only lacking $2 35 of paying me back what they ail had cost. But here cometh the bad part.: ' The dogs broke into them and before I knew it had killed all but three oi my own, together with 11 that belonged to a neighbor; doing most of their killing at night. Alter the loss of three days work, which was badly needed iii my crops, I finanlly found the dogs and their owners. They belonged to a couple of darkies who lived (one of them)-in a very shabby hut, and was not really able to feed a dog, to say nothing of pay ing for what damage his three would do. The other negro was an hireling, working for about 75 cents a day. Now those sheep represented a value of $70 or more, and as it is a hard task to get blood irom a tur nip, I would like toknow how we are to get pay for our sheep! , You cannot take from .a man that which he hath not. Now why not elimin ate this worthless cur that is a n UBiancef But that would never do; there are too many of our gentlemen of leisure who like a possum hunt to raise a voice againBt him. Preveniion is better than cure; and it would be much better and easier for our lawmakers to pass a law to tax these miserable pests out of existence than for one to try to keep them from destroying one’s stock, or to try to get pay for those already destroyed. I would go further than to just tax dogs; I would say to actually prohibit any one from owning a dog who does not own real estate. It more ofteo than not happens that the men who own the sheep- killers are too poor to feed them, to say nothing of paying for the damage they do, and of feeding and clothing and educating their chil dren, If dogs are a necessity, they ought to be taxed, if they are a, luxury how rauch more should they be taxed. Now Mr. Member of the State Legislator j, yon claim that you believe in progress, education, and in the betterment of onr rural dis tricts. Why r.ot prove your faith by your works! . In the neighborhood of where I live there are at least, (within a radius of ten miles,) a thousand dogs, which are mostly of the sheep killing, egg-sucking kind, which belong to the negroes of the mining camps, railroad camps, etc., and within this same district I will venture the assertion that there are not over 100 Bheep. The dog law, like woman suf frage, is coming, but it may be so long off that we will not have any sheep left a n d so would not need it. W . M . H osm er, in Progressive Farm er. .. - . Dtezy?

IT IS AN AWFUL DISGRACE. Al Fairbrother Goes After th e Politic- ' ians in Johnson County. Everything. We have before commented on Johnston cognty politics. We have shown that the pie eaters and pie- hunters of-that district are willing to do al I that mortal man can do to get away with it—to secure of fice and the salary going with the offiee.: With’so many candidates in the field, with so many place hunters, it would seem that there might be one or two men big e- nough to stand up and announce, regardless of machine politics, re gardless of what might happen, that they proposed to stand, for humanity—for decency. But we get no such message from Old Johnston. AU we get is. the assurance of Mr. Brooks; running for recorder, that the party owes him nothing—bu» he still owes the party something and he wants to pay it .with services the salary of course still coming to him. Weaee noman coming to .the front and saying he proposes to Clean up some of the dirty places. The last two or three issues of the Selma Chronicle have contained articles that would, if we had time to stop and think, make the flesh creep. Articles that would, in another age, have caused men'* to organize and hold meetings and declare be fore the just God of this universe that conditions that exist should no longer exist, eveu if it took the bayonet to make things right. A r ticles that recited the unjustness; the brutality; the'inhumanity; the ^aibariesi , of ' A J,^iki^e'':.^{aiiA'<r^' civilization=- ofiU Christian cpunty people, with so called righteous men and women. . Why is it that we have time to talk about ten constitutional amen dments—to everlastingly chew the rag about state-wide primaries and initiative and referendum and re call, aud all the wild things and high sounding things that have to do with office aud office holding but no time to relieve humanity which suffers iD agony and shame! T here is am an nam ed Frederick A rcher living down there who saw his duty. B ut not until a woman, a New W oman—a member of the Civic League, took the initiative and exhibited to Mr. A rcher in-all its wietchednesa the condition of the County Home. This good wo m an, M rs. N.- E . EdgertoD, took a party of gen tlem en I n her machine and carried them to the County H O m e-and then the men saw. M r. M cLean, editor of the Chron icle, was in the party and he you ches for . w hat-M r. A rcher says— and w hat M r. A rcher says would m ake the blood of a Bulgarian brigand - leap high and fierce— would m ake a stolid N orth A m eri can Indian w ant to start som ething — because if there ever was cruelty to anim als it is to be or was to be found in th s Jonston Counry Coun ty Home. M r. A rcher says the party in vestigating the conditions at this Home found four m iserable shan ties w here the inm ates live, shan ties tw enty years old and with no m eans of. heating them - iu cold weather and no-means - of. keeping out the flies' in warm w eather— that these hum an beings, n o . one of them guilty of any crim e—.but old, diseased, helpless N orth Garo-' linians—men and women who- had fought and lost—fathers and moth- ers who failed somehow to make enough to keep enough to sustain them in their old age—citizens who in the race for gold lost early in the.gam e and had no where to lay their heads—and were sent to. these foul and frowsy dens— these verm in haunted Shacks containing no furniture no furniture, according to M r. A rcher, and the bed clothes so horribly filthy and ill-smelling' that Adog taken from a tannery and. ppf in one of the roams would lose h|s breath. Mr.IAJcher says the Superinten dent Cjf this County Home told him and tqld the party of visitors that the I sjtraw mattresses on which thesApitiable and wretched help less human beings are forced to lie are. fairly, alive with vermin and that so old are the houses and so infected with bugs and lice that the'strongest. kind of fumigation will, not touch them' Sir.piArcher says that there is one idiot tied like an animal in the hall-who wallows in his own filth and iseleansed only when some unfortunate associate feels it his duty to help him out. He says this idiot tied there like a wild beast fnjght be tied, was covered with tiiouSands of flies—flies of all varieties, blow flies, bluebottle flies and common house fifes--and the st.ench with which he reeked was absolutely unbearable: The picture cannot be painted. But the fact that such conditions exist ip this great state—this state whicginsists on a state wide pri m ary^and all things that have to do vtxth the welfare of politicians - callsfor action on the part Of other officials if Johnston county officials wilKUot act. THE DEMOCRATIC HAND BOOK. TAKING CALOMEL i i IS A BAD HABIT So Powerful It Shocks Liver and Leaves It Weaker Than Before. DodaonV Iifver Tone is Better to Take. Nearly everybody who has ever Iripd^Idmel has found that it givesbnlyatempovary relief. For calonipl ia such a powerful drug .thabit, shocks and weakens the JivUrIahd makes It less abl e- »f ter ward to do its duty than ip the first place. . This is one of the reasons why Crawford's Drug Store guarantee Dodson’s Liver Tone to take the place of calomel. Dodson’s Liver Tone is a pure vegetable liver tonic that wilt cure constipation quickly and gently, without any danger of bad after effects. It is guaranteed to do this with a guarantee that is simple and fair.

A l Fairbrother runs a De m ocratic paper at Greensboro, aDd While we differ w ith him politically yet we adm ire his style ot w riting and the way he says things. L is ten to this: “ Chairm an Thomas D. W arreD, of New Beru, and Secretary J . It. Collins, of Louisburg, have been in Baleigh and made arrangem ents to open the headquaiters of the Democratic party at the Y arbor ough hotel, Septem ber I. A new. hand book will be issued and the enthusiastic ones say such a cam paign will be waged as was never waged before. W e take it th at in the hand book there will b e ' life size pic tures of the Goldsboro convention.

T his will be inspiring ia after years. The Tenth district should also come in for a picture—but we take it th at these things will be lightly treated. The Democratic party in N orth Carolina should review the records of some of its illustrious sons. Show how GIenn accepted the govern m ent job and tell why it was given him and how he took it after de claring several tim es he didn’t know w hether he would run for Senator or not. It should also tell how E . J .

The great patriots who week for the Peepul should be pic tured in this hand book so history may be kept straight, The Democratic party is all right in N orth Carolina. B ut some of the am bitious politicians who aie playing th e Democratic party should be called down and called hard—they have taken possession. The Eepublican parly is shot to pieces or else there m ight be some thing doing.

The Davie Record gives the infor mation that about half of the coun try stores of Davie are closing be cause of business depression, the merchants of Davie, with keen vision into the future business conditions in this country, seeing great calamity ahead. At the same time the Ghar- lotte Observer runs a series of inter views from the merchants of Ghar lotte, in which they say that they were never more encouraged than now over the prospects of agood fall business. We fear tl at our mer chant friends of Davie have been takinc the Union Republican and the Davie Record as their guide and that as a result they will be left out in the cold and have no Di.rt in the great wave of prosperity that is go iMg to sweep this country as a result of the wise policies being put into effect by the Democratic national administration.—Winston Journal. The Journal misquotes us in the above paragraph. The Record said that about half “the councry stores were closed," and that some mer chants were talking of going out of busines. When we used the word “closed” we did not mean that the stores were empty. Business in Davie as well as in other sections, is very dull, and if the merchants in the rural districts remained at their stores these days waiting on trade, they would starve to death. The editor has made it a point to ask ajj the drummers who come to town what the business outlook is, and practically all of them say that busi ness is rotten—sales no good. The merchants of Winston are also find ing business dull, and some of them are having a desperate struggle to keep their heads above water. With mills and factories throughout the country closing down, and with no market for cotton, and all the crops short, the common people are going to have a struggle to keep the wolf from the door. The cost of living continues to go up, and the price of labor remains stationary. Mr. Wil son promised to help the poor folks by reducing the necessities of. life. About the only thing he has reduced is the price of cotton. The people are paying more for shoes, clothing, etc., than they were before the Democratic administration began tampering with the tariff.

Mr. E ditors-I shall not indulge in any offensive epithets, but I rise to a question of personal priv ilege and. will proceed to ask a few questions which I and many others think are pertinent and to the point. In the first place I would ask is there a Republican organi zation in Davie county t The State Republican convention met Aug. 20th, and Davie had no duly ac credited representative there. A senatorial convention for this dis trict has been ealled for Sept. 7tb, so I am informed, and it is now too late for Davie county to have a convention to elect delegates to it. Some time soon I presume a judicial and congressional conven tion will be called, in which Davie is entitled to be represented, yet, so far no convention has beet call ed so that Davie county might be represented if it wanted to. Davie county, I presume, has no candi date for senator, solicitor and con gressman. Wilkes and Yadkin counties have already instructed fora Wilkes man for the senate, so that disposes of that question. The other two positions are con ceded to the Democrats, and D.ivie L guess, has no aspirant for the fame and glory of leading a forlorn hope? If the chairman who was eleeted two years ago has decided to cast his lot with the Progress ives or Bull Moosers, lie should step down and out, and let the Re publicans elect a man who stands for Republican principles and ideas in his stead. The primary elec tions so far held iu the United States show plainly that the Re publicans do not propose to divide their vote this year and thus re peat the folly of 1912, to wit: elect Democrats. In Ohio, which re cently held a primary, 230,000 votes were cast for the Republican candidates, 203,000 for the Demo cratic candidates and 9,000 for the Progressive candidates, The vote in Ohio shows which way the wind is blowing. Now the question that confronts us in Davie is, what mo tive, what reason, pray tell us, prompts the powers that be from calling a convention? I cannot agree with the idea advanced in last week’s issue of one who signed “ Ignorance” to his article. I would rather think that certain ones have set their traps and are waiting to see if any of the bait has been or will be eaten before they 6et the triggers. The “Mene, Mene, tekel, Upharsin” has been written on the wall, so far as cer tain folks are concerned, and the judgment, “ thou hast been weigh ed in the balance and found want ing” has been entered upon the judgment docket, and an execution has been issued made returnable Tuesday, November 3rd, 1914, and no homestead and personal proper ty exemptions will be allowed. The people will execute the decree for “ the scepter has departed from Dan” and the monarchy will be overthrown, and a Republic in which the voice ot the people will be the supreme law from hence forth, is in sight. If the editor is accused of writing this article, I want to absolve him from the charge right now, and if any one, Mr. Editor, feels personally ag grieved by anything herein • writ ten, give them my name and place of abode, and tell them I have no chip on my shoulder, and am not in the least belligerent, that “I stand four square to all the winds that blow,” for honesty, justice and right as I see it, that I believe the people of Davie county have intelligence enough to know who they want tor offire, and that I be IievetDey intend to assert that right, provided “ they are' allowed, the privilege when the time comes. A great many of us think the con ventioa should ’have been called before now, and I am of the opin ion that eaiididates should be be fore the people long enough for their characters and qualifications to be thoroughly looked into and- digested; and^am opposed to nom inating any man whose character! and qualifications wont stand up before a strong searchlight test. Now, in conclusion, the county executive committee can meet at ■Vh>; Mocksville and call the convention, for under our plan of organization, the power to Oall rests with them, and not with the chairman. Usu ally the chairman consults the county executive committee, and then issues a call iD compliance with their wishes. There is a re- mady where any officer neglects or refuses to act. There is a remedy for all wrongs. ONE OF THE PEOPLE. Aug. 26,1914. P. S. The diviDe right of Kings is likely to be decided by the pres ent war in Europe; EibaviIIe News.

The French commander-in-chief has withdrawn his forces from the territory recently occupied and is massing them along with their' Brit ish Allies, in a strong line between Maubeuge, on the North, and Donoh, on the South, a distance of about 200 miles.The allies, having abandoned the offensive, according to official an nouncement, will assume a purely defensive attitude, in the hope of checking the advance of the vast masses of German troops endeavor ing to break through the line. A combined French and British force is holding the front near Givet, along the River Muese, about 30 miles below Namur, while French troops commanded the roads out of the great forest of Ardennes. Upon the ability of the allies to hold the Germans, the! French1 war office admits, depends the fate of France. I A British official statement an nounces thkt the position of the Brit ish troops is in every way satisfac tory. Announcement is made, how ever; that British casualties in the recent fighting numbered 2,000. Field Marshal Sir John French, com mander of the British forces on the ContinentJreports that the with drawal of his troops - to their new position wgs successfully effected. 1 “The principal Russian losses in PrussiaupItothepreseBt have re sulted from the determination of the rank and file of the Russian Army to get at the enemy. Although the mounted gbards in the center have suffered heavily the infantry ad vances havfe been more than satisfac tory. The enemy virtually is cen tered in Esfetern Prussia. “Mounted officers arriving in St Petersburg! dwell on the fear dis played by the Germans of the Rus sian cavalrjr.“Military experts say that Ger mans’ equipment is . excellent and that their artillery is good but that their rifle I shooting is inaccurate. They add that the Japanese were in finitely superior in this respect in the Russo Japaiiese War and accomplish ed in an hour what the Germans would require a day to do. German [airmen ,drop bombs in Paris. England tells of six thousand loss. Gernjian ar my at gates of Paris, can do nothing but surrender. Aeroplanists dropped manifesto with advice to Paris.

One that is easy to understand and operate and still does perfect work. The “Van Brunt” has ail of these qualities. You are able to do work without constantly taking drill apart to regulate the action of the different parts. There are no chains to work loose or wear out. Feeds are thorwn in and out of gear automatically with lowering or raising of the. lifting levers. The light weight of drill, its perfect balance, and the smooth running; of part, its especially the discs, make it work easy for both driver and horses. You therefore can work without delay and do it much faster, and with the use of less enery than with other drills. Itis certainly a poor idea to handle 200 to 400 pounds of unnecessary weight in a drill in your field all day when you can get a “Van Brunt,” which is of better construction and which does higher class work than any other.

General, however, interprets the law to mean that the basis of the increase is the weight and number of pieces of mail carried, as w ell as the length of route. There are three standard routes from Statesville— Nos. 3, 4 and 6. Postmaster Bay mer bas biea notified that the salaries of Messrs. Everett Wilkin son and DeWitt Hoover, the car riers on Nos. 3 and 6, respectively, will be increased $4 per year, a total of $1,104, while the salary ol Mr. Karl Miller, the carrier on No: 4, is not increased. To say that the carriers are dis appointed expresses it mildly. Tteir undeisaudirg was—atd tbote who saw the bill say it so read— that standard route carriers wert- to receiv e $100 additional, regard- less of the arnouns of mail carried. But the Postmaster General figures it on the amount of mail carried and finds that only two Statesville ■arriers are entitled to an increase and that increase is $4 each. Coin plaint will doubtless be made and probably an effort made to change the ruling. It seems but fair to pay by the number of miles travel ed. There are 1,350 rural carriers in Jforth Carolina and only 19 in the State will leceive the maximum -alary—$1,200.—Statesville Land mark.

Moore, clerk of tbe Superior Court of Mecklenburg county and formerly at the head of the North Carolina Cotton Associa tion, attended the Cotton Congress" in Washington last week and talk' ing about conditions to the Char lotte Observer, he said: “ As I see it, nothing can bedone at this time in a general or harnio nious way to aid the cotton farmers as a body. They will have to work out this holding proposition themselves. For the most part our statesmen in Washington are not alive to the importaneeof the cot ton industry. I found during a brief stay there that some piomin- ent men in the legislative councils of the nation do not regard cotton as a national asset and are not much interested in the project of doing an) thing to help keep the price up. They do not fee I as if it is any of their business and they take this attitude because of their ignorance ss to the place the cotton business holds iu the life of this country. The entire proposition of holding cotton off the market is back where it was before the meet-' ing and where it will likely sta y - in the hands of the individual men who are raising the commodity. *' -f * If cotton is going to be held off | the market this year, it must bej done by the men in given com - j inanities acting in conjunction with one another.

THE PEOPLE’S RIGHTS MAINTAIN: UNAWED RY INPI IIENrE ANn IINRRIRFn BY GAIN.” VOLUMN XVI.MOCKSVILLE. NORTH CAROLINA. WEDNESDAY. SEPTEMBER 9, 1914 NUMBER 8 ■jgnificant Result of Recent Pro gressive Primaries. xplanation Made Seems to Reflect on the New Party , as the Champions ef Nomination by Primaries Instead of Bosses. The followers of Colonel Roosevelt ave been the champions of the pri- JjfVi as against the party convention, o defeat boss rale. If there is a Pro- ressive party now in existence it has ot made itself manifest in the-pri ories so far held in any state. The lory is the same In Pennsylvania, Mo and Kansas. The Progressive 0te was insignificant in all these tates, and the explanation offered is that there were no contests for the ominations and therefore no incen tive for the Progressives to show their hands in the primaries. That was the explanation offered for Mr. Pinchot's small vote in Pennsylvania, for Mr. Garfield's insignificant vote in Ohio, ;nd for JIr. Murdock’s vote of less than ten thousand in Kansas. The explanation may prove true In November, but it seriously reflects on the professions of the Progressives as the champions of nominations by pri maries to defeat the rule of the bosses. In every slate named the Progressive candidates were hand-picked. They were selected by an organization ma chine, perhaps a gentleman’s agree ment. There was only one Progressive candidate at the primaries. The Pro gressive voters had no part in the se lection of the candidates they are to vote for in Novmeber. The leaders of this party of political purists have been more successful in boss rule than ever were Thomas C. Platt and Mat thew S. Quay in their palmiest days. The Progressive party, was made up of men who had been persuaded that the bosses and not the rank and file controlled the Republican party. They revolted against boss rule and opposed conventions as too easily controlled by the bosses. They refused to be like sheep, herded and .delivered, to, tliis candidate or that one. That the-^reat majority of them were honest in this belief goes without saying. It is also to be assumed that the great majority of those men who followed Roosevelt out of the Repub lican party still believe in the primary as the only fair and honest way to make party nominations, and that they are just as much opposed to hand- picked Progressive candidates as they were two years ago to convention-se lected candidates. They do not dif ferentiate as to party bosses. They are as indifferent to the party whip when cracked by Colonel Roosevelt, JIr. Pinchot, Mr. Garfield and Mr. Mur dock as they were to the old party whip in the hands of the Republican leaders. This would appear to be the only explanation of the small Progres sive vote in Pennsylvania, Ohio and Kansas, in keeping with the profes sions of Progressives. The new party has In two years be come boss ridden, and like the Popu list party of 20 years ago, one cam paign exhausted its strength as well as its principles. It was a quarter horse in politics. Maryland and Louisiana. Mr. Roosevelt has been advised that disaffected Democrats in Maryland are turning to the bull moose party, and h« is said to be much heartened by the information. M’hy to the bull moose party? Why n°t to the Republican party? The Republican party in Maryland has for years been, strong and well led. its leadership has been native, and representative of the best citizens In the state. Ability and character have both been manifested. A Republican Sovernor—and a good one—is now in office. When the great national crisis came In 1896, Maryland threw her weight hto the scale for sound money. Many democrats voted for McKinley that lear, and repeated the porformance 0Vr years later. The Republican Nrty was then their refuge. Why nnt now? November Will Show.

Five Things Cotton Farmers Should Do. In a time like this when the aii is full of schemes and dreams, many of them impossible of realiza tion, it seems to us that the thing to do is to keep reminding our cot- con farmers of lour or five simple, practicable ways for getting through their threatened dangers. At the risk of being guilty of what Shakespeare calls damnable itera tion therefore, we again call atten tion to five things that should be undertaken in every county in the South: 1. The local and county Unions everywhere should meet to discuss the situation aDd decide as to what can be done In their own communi ties. Then meetings of all the cot ton growers should be called so as to insure the cooperation of farmers in and oat of the organization. 2. Eesolve to hold all cotton if prices drop measurably, and ar- tange storage placeB in all markets, finding out also what are the best loans bankers will make on ware housed cotton. In nearly every town we may find some building that will do for storing cotton, even if no regular warehouse exists, and if not too near the center of trade, the rent should not be high. 3. Arrange “selling days” whereon groups of farmers may put together the cotton they wish to sell, having it graded and priced by experts and sold in pools. The chances are that the confusion of the markets this fall will enable unscrupulous buyers—and there are some unscrupulous men in every business—to take advantage of the more ignorant farmers (both as to grades and prices) more flag rantly than ever before. It is a time when the strong must help protect the weak. 4. Pass redhot resolutions at your Union meetings ond cotton growers’ meetings as to the Nation al legislation needed and send these resolutions to your senators and representatives, following them up with short personal letters. A bill such as Senator Hoke Smith haB introdnced (see our open letter to Congressmen last week) probably stands the chance of passage; a bill which would set aside half tbe South’s proportion of emergency currency for the express purpose of financing the cotton crop. 5 .' Bemember that wheat, corn, oats,'hay, and forage of all kinds are likely to be higher next spring than ever before—certainly if the war continues until then. There has never been a time in the his tory ot the South when it was more important to preach the gospel of “hog and hominy” than right now. Farmers who have planted the feed crops The Progressive Farmer has advised are already in lock. Fann ers who take our advice and sow abundant crops of clover, vetch, rye, oats, etc.. wre likely to be in yet bigger lucik next spring. We again urge every Progressive Farmer reader to get behind each of these five propositions and help make each a success in his com munity. We have notjoined the alarmists, and we do not believe there is occasion for alarm if farm ers will only! act. B uthere again it is true that “ Who would be free themselves must'strike the blow.” Other interests are too busy looking after themselves to protect the farmer. I t is up to him to save himself. —Progressive Farmer. After a'm an’has beep up against the gaff long enough be quits look ing for boosts and spends more tune dodging knocks. i Dizzy? Bilious?

PARTY SLOWLY BREAKING UP Votes at State Primaries Can Have Given Little Encouragement to the Progressives. While it may not he that Missouri will be among the Republican states next fall, it is significant that in. Mis souri, as in other states, the Progres sive vote in the primary was almost nothing. In Missouri two.years ago the Roosevelt vote was 125,000, a figure sufficient if combined with the Taft vote, to have given the state to the .Republicans by a slight plurality. In Oklahoma there also seems to be a likelihooh of a straightout fight be tween the Democrats and Republicans. Primary and other elections, in Michigan since 1912 indicate that the Progressive party -has dwindled away to nothing, and the Republican cam paign managers are counting upon making gains in the congressional.rep- resentation. In 1912 the farmers in Michigan were sore against President Taft on account of the IatteiJs effort to secure reciprocity with Canada, but they have learned that the present tariff law is much more injurious to them than reciprocity, besides which the Michigan sugar beet growers and manufacturers have 'been badly hurt by the free sugar schedule. In Ohio there is a decided tendency among R e publicans to return to their old affilia tions. Must Find a Solution. Particularly unimpressive is the man who attributed the high cost of living to the policy of protection, and promised relief in a revision of the protective tariff law. Revision has come, but minus the promised relief. The cost of living is higher under the new than it was under the old law. The Underwood law is no more the cause of the recent rise in such prices than the Payne law was responsible for the prices of that day. Men of both schools of tariff thought find there is a problem on hand which is as puzzling as difficult; and they must address themselves to the solution free from some of the ideas upon which in recent years they have been rearing many tall arguments. That the next tariff law will collect heavily from-imports is a- certainty; and equally - certain is it ’ that the schedules and rates will have to be adjusted to conditions that have nevey existed before since this government was founded. Too Many Elections. Only a few weeks ago 40,000 citi zens of Seattle went to the polls and voted to have a hew city charter drawn, but when submitted} for adop-' tion less than twenty thousand cared enough for it to vote either for or against it. This is explained by the local newspapers, which say that the people are Blck and tired of so many elections. In Seattle they have the initiative and the referendum g,nd the recall, and pretty much everything else that can be thought of, and the result is that an election of one sort or another is pulled off every few weeks. It is a great thing for the people to have all these privileges, but the majority do not seem to want to be bothered with them —Philadel phia Press. Predicts Big Republican Gains. “A remarkable change 'in political sentiment throughout the entire Northwest has been shown In the last year,’’ said C. H. Hardin of Deadwood, S. D., at the Raleigh. ■ “In 1912 the Republicans were wiped out in all the state which had been the strongholds of the party—Iowa, South Dakota, North Dakota, Illinois, Ohio and Cali fornia. It was the general sentiment, too, at that time that the Democrats would continue to be in the majority for some years to come, but within the last two weeks .I have had occa sion to get in touch with the people of those states, and it is a fact that'.I would not know where to pick, up a hundred Democrats in as many coun ties.”—Washington Post. Danger to the Primaries. It is easy enough to say that Pro gressives at the primaries may prop erly nominate a Republican or that Democrats at the primaries may prop erly nominate a Progressive, but. we know that they will not do so except on command, and a commanded pri mary is nb better than a gagged com vention. The menace to the idea of direct primaries is not to be seen in any' fantastic action that the’ people by that means might 'enter upon of their own motion. It rests rather upon the probability that primaries known to be bossed will excite little genuine public interest. By bossing, the di rect primary system, not yet well un der way, may never come to develop ment. More dangerous than the boss of a caucus or a committee or a con vention is a boss who creates a party ■for his oWn- purpose and then sup, presses it to the same end.—New York World.

' Then how must the Colonel feel as he reads the reports coming in from some of the water melon fields of old Mecklenburg!

It is claimed that once upon a time a melon weighing an even 100 pounds was sold in Charlotte, but there is no authentic record of the transac tion.- Before the close of the pres ent season The Observer expects to carry news of a hundred-pounder, or a little better, and it will take due care to have the fact certified to, in order that in the years to come there will be no room for dispute over the fame of the Mecklenburg melon as there has been over the Mecklenburg Declaration.—Charlotte Observer. An Aged Man Assaulted Because Of A Ten Cent Dispute. At Aberneen last Saturday Mr. M. T. Goodwyu was assaulted by Marcus Wimberlyall because of a dispute over a ten cent' ice bill. Wimberly struck the old man and Oroke acouple of rib9; knocked aim down aifd perhaps injured him internally. Goodwyn was seventy-four years of age and his assailant a young man with a character for brawls and affrays. The story from Aber deen was that the people were very inuch worked up over the outrage. Wliat ihey should do with Wim berly is to catch him and publicly horsewhip him about seven days— thirty nine lashes each day. Then they should duck him In a pond and then they should grease him with molasses and let him lie out in the sun where the flies could feast on him. Then he should be arrested and tried for an attempt to kill and sent to the pen for about twenty years.—Everything. Vould Abolish The Handkerchief. Monroe Eaqairer.

Yon need never again go through with being “all knocked out for a day or two by calomel.” Next time your liver gets slug gish and inactive, we urge that you go to Crawford’s Drug Store for a bottle of Dodson’s Liver Tone, a splendid vegetable liqnid medicine that will start your liver as surely as calomel ever did and with none of the after effects of calomel. It is absolutely harmless both to chil dren and adults and demands no restriction of habits or diet. • A large bottle of Dodson’s Liver Tone costs only fifty cents and the druggists who sell it guarantee it to take the place of calomel, and will refund your money if it fails in year case or if you are not Batis Bed. 0 R .

What would he do if we were at war? With cotton selling at 8 cents a pound there are many people who are sorry they ever heard of Europe and Woodrow Wilson. If we must have a war tax in time of peace, let the tax be placed on luxuries, such as coca cola, beer, champagne, and North Carolina scuppemong wine. There are two things sure in Davie this fall—one that a new set of men will be nominated on the Republican ticket or that the Democrats will be elected in November. If Uncle Samuel is. wise he will keep hands off and let the Catholics ii Europe scrap it out. Hewillalso give the Phillipine Islands to the first fellow he finds who will take them off his hands.___________ The Republican county convention meets in Mocksville Sept. 21. The primaries are on the 19th. Every Republican is urged to attend the primary and vote for a new set of men—a set of Republicans—who will fill the offices for two terms and then step down like men. Turoer Reunion. It was an occasion Dot soon to be forgotten—When on Wednesday, Aug. 26th, at the pleasant and beautiful home of Mr. Alexander Turner, of Rowan county, his brothers and sisters viz: Mr. W. M. Turner, of Richmond county; Mr. P. Turner, of Davie county and Rev. H. F. Turnei; Mrs. Satah Painter; Mis. S. A. Rudasil and Miss Catherine Turner, of Rowan, with a host of other relatives. Mrs. C. F. McPheison, of Eoberdel, N C,, and Mr. and Mrs. J, B Gourley of Cabarrus, being amony thenum ber and friends too numerous to mention assembled for a “ family reunion.” The seven brothers and Bisters mentioned above are the oldest living of thiB Turner family —being descendants of Alexander Turner, Sr.,whose ancestors emi grated from England to the TL S. And had not spent a day all to gether in more than 40 years. The . “program” of the day began with an address of welcome by Rev-. H. F. Turner, then a shoit address by Mr. P. Turner, followed by re marks and the reading of a his torical record of the Turner gener ations dating back to the 17tb, century, by Rev. S . F. Turner, which was very interesting to all present. After which the contents of the baskets, which can better be imagined than described were placed on a large table that had been prepared beneath the wide spreading shade of the “huge ol.d oaks” on the lawn. And when all were gathered ’round a passer by would have conceived the idea of a “ picnic” more than a “ family re union.” In the afternoon refresh meats were served. And a photo grapher was present whose kind service will give a “ picture mem ory” of the day for future years. And another ieature highly worthy of mention, an appropriate solo waB artistically rendered by Mr.iJ. B. Gourley, son in law of Rev. H. F. Turner, which had only to be heard to be appreciated. A part ing song was then sung, by several, and alter a short prayer of'tnanks- giving, quite late in the afternoon all departed for their respective homes. The day was not only highly enjoyed by the young -peo pie, but a picnic to the older ones as well. And will ever be a “bright linkinthechain of memory” to .one aad all.

More Than One Hundred Thousand Russians Captured—Germany Seems To be Getting Best of War. London, Sept. 2,—On the eastern war stage the Russians frankly con fess to disaster to two army corps, of eighty thousand men, and the loss of three generals. Elsewhere th e Russian armies seem to have triumphed. Galicia has been successfully invaded and Lembeg. Austria, soon will be eva cuated, according to reports from St. Petersburg war office. “London —Unconfirmed reports are current here that Turkey has de clared war on Russia. Communica tion with Constantinople has been severed three days and the Turkish ambassador stated he had no way of telling when he would hear from his government again. London, Sept. 3 —12:10 a. m.—The official press bureau has issued the following statement: “Continuous fighting has been in progress along almost the whole line of battle. The British cavalry en gaged with distinction the cavalry of the enemy and brushed them back and captured 10 guns. “The French army has continued the offensive and gained ground in the Lorraine district. In other re gions of the war the Russian army is investing Koenigsburg. The Rus sian victory, which is complete at Lemberg, already has been announc ed.” London, Sept. 2.—A corner of the curtain over the battle drama in northwestern France has momentari ly been raised. It shows the allies battling desperately to prevent the success of the German assault on the upper Oise, less than fifty miles from Paris. On the upper Oise the British are fighting desperately to prevent Ger mans from securing-one of the most direct routes to Paris News of this battle, reaching here from two different sources, is the first definite information since the end of the battle of Mons. The battle raged-Sunday and Mon day and by sheer weight of numbers the Germans secured a light advant age. The seat of the French Govern ment is to be removed from Paris to Bordeaux, 358 miles southwest of Paris. • The proclamation announcing this action refers to it as a temporary ar rangement. Regarding the progress of the bat tle which the Germans are waging on French and Belgian soil, both French and British Governments are vi rtually keeping silence. The move ments of the troops are meagerly re ported and it has been impossible thrpugh these reports to form any adequate idea of how the tide of bat tle is flowing. Direct advices from the Russian Capital give the official report of a battle lasting seven days between the Russians and Austrians around Lemberg, Capital of Galicia, in which the Russians were successful, forcing the Austrians to retreat and seizing heavily fortified positions. The Rus sians captured 150 guns and the Aus- trians are said to have suffered enormous losses. Inthisbattlethree full Austrian army corps and parts of two others were engaged. London, Sept. 3.—The official bu reau issues further British casual ties, as follows: Eighteen officers, and sixty-two of other ranks were killed, seventy-eight officers, and three hundred twelve of other ranks are wounded; eighty-six officers, and 4,672 of other ranks are missing.

After What Is Looked on as Middle Age. Thongh Sir William Osier persist ently denies that Ue ever advocated what is known as Oslerism; it is a con venient and euphonious name for a theory flS to old age, and Oslerism it will remain so long as there is life in that fallacious doctrine. He explains that in an unguarded moment he quoted a foolish jest from a forgotten novel, but being a physician he was taken seriously. However, our sym pathy for him should be qualified by the fact that his mistake has given him a far wider reputation than any of his achievements in medical re search. Who utters a joke must bear its con sequences, and these should not be so painful to a man who had the pleasure Iof seeing his mother smile at Oslerism ]in her hundredth year, and who at i sixty-five, boasts that he is doing het- iter work than at thirty. ! Gladstone at forty expressed the opinion that no statesman could be I of real service to his country after passing the three-score mark, but his brain was never clearer than • when at eighty he was the most important factor in British politics. Some men only begin to live or to do their best whan they have reached the stage usually spoken of as that of the sere and yellow leaf. Innumer able instances might be cited, but per haps the most conspicuous is that of William de Morgan, the foremost Eng lish writer of today, who wrote his first work at sixty and whose humor becomes the more youthful the older he grows. And here is our own John Bur roughs, world famed as a naturalist and author, planning new volumes on his seventy-seventh birthday. Age has not withered Ms imagination nor weakened his enthusiasm in the cause of natural history, while his latest, work has all the freshness that marked the effusions of two-score years ago. It is time that men ceased to limit not merely their activities, but their lives as well, because of the supersti tion that old age necessarily means feebleness. Those who are actually exhausted may not deny the fact, whether they are forty or eighty, but there are many who are only victims j of the suggestion that at a certain iperiod they must begin to decline. - Let those latter llearn of Burroughs ,and others that suggestion can cut I both ways and is just as effective j when conducing to the belief that it is !never too late to- do good work and I enjoy life. , Big Hands Sawed Him. I Attorney John Oronin was appearing for a client charged with picking a pocket. The government’s chief wit ness had evidently read detective fic tion. He described at length how he, standing quietly by, had seem the pris oner slip a slim fingered hand into the victim’s pocket. He described the per fectly manicqred hand and tapered fingers of the alleged pickpocket’s hand minutely, just as J t goes in a de tective yarn. Then Attorney Cronin opened his defense. "My 'defense consists of ‘Ex hibit A.’ Mr. Prisoner, hold out your hands.” The prisoner, a six-foot man, did so, showing the jurors a pair of huge hands with gnarled fingers, which would have done justice to a bricklayer. "The witness called those fingers long and tapering, gentlemen,” said Cronin. “Now I want you to look at them and tell me if you thirds that hulking chap could get hands like those in the subway, let alone a per son’s pocket!" ! The jury returned a verdicft of not iguilty.—BostonTraweler. 0 Pictorial Hint.

The proverbial horse which can be led' to water, but which cannot be made to drink, exists in great num bers In the Hawaiian islands. Among the cattle he has thousands of cousins of the same proclivities. It is a surprising statement to make, and yet'one that is literally true and so commonplace that no one there thinks anything about it, and there are hundreds of horses and thousands of cattle which never take a drink of water throughout the whole course of their lives. On all the islands the upper alti tudes of the mountains are given up to cattle ranges. The cattle run wild from the time they are born until they are rounded up to be sent to the slaughter house. Except during pos sibly two or three months of the rainy season, there are no streams or pools of water in any part where the cattle range. But everywhere there grows a re cumbent, jointed grass, known by the native name of maninia. This is both food and drink, says a recent traveler. Horses and cattle grazing on it neither require water nor^will they drink it when offered. Our first experience with this fact was on a trip to Haleakala. A party were mounted on horses which had just been brought in from the range. The journey they made was 14 miles, in which distance they ascended 9,000 feet. The party started in the afternoon, and at sunset halted for supper. They thought it strange that the horses should leave a feed of grain to nibble the scanty grass which grew near-by, but were willing to trust their instinct in the matter. However, before starting they in sisted that they be given water. The native guide demurred to this, saying they didn’t need it, but with the good- natured complaisance of his race, yielded to requests, and led a de tour of about a mile, which brought the party to a ranch house, where there was a well. But to the utter amazement of the travelers the horses would not drink. They took it as another case of in stinct and assumed that the water, for some reason, was not good, and so refrained from drinking it them selves. It was not until the return, the second day, to Kawaapae, that the travelers learned the secret of the wonderful maninia grass. Repairing a Cut. The first step in the repair of a cut In the shoe', regardless of the depth to Which it is cut, is to scrape around the cut with a rasp until there is clean rubber or fabric around the entire cut. The exposed surface should then be rubbed with a wire buffing brush, which is generally furnished as part of the tool kit. This will give a good surface for the cement to take hold. After the roughening process is com plete the surface should be given a coat of vulcanizing cement and then left to dry. When thoroughly dry the fresh cement will have a glossy ap pearance. A piece of raw rubber which comes with the vulcanizer, or which can be secured from any tire repair shop, is fitted into the cut. If it is a long cut that has taken off a considerable area of rubber, a piece of raw rubber is cut to the same shape as the piece tom off, or if it is merely a cut to be fijled, a small piece of the raw rubber is inserted in the cut, In the case of a cut or tear of the tread, the rubber is cut away from the damaged portion in a rectangular shape and the new piece of rubber is cut approximately to size and then rolled into place with a small stitcher roller, which marks the exact size. The excess rubber is then cut away. Labeled the Children. The crowded water front of the old Canton of a century ago, with its thronging sampans alive from stem to stem with swarming children, is vividly pictured in the "Memoirs of William Hickey.” In his account of the innumerable boats that covered the river for mile after mile, Mr. Hickey describes a novel method of protecting the children of the floating city from the dangers of the water. Each child wore a large vegetable sometMng like a gourd or pumpkin fastened to its back. The vegetable was buoyant, of course, and, if the infant fell - overboard, floated it until the child was picked up by its par ents or the occupants of any other sampan that happened to be near. This vegetable life-preserver had the name and station of the sampan to which it belonged cut in Chinese characters upon it, and by that means the rescu ers could at once identify the child; otherwise, in such a multitude of boats great confusion would have arisen. It scarcely ever happened that anyone was drowned. Pioneer In Medicine. Dr. Thomas Jefferson Heard, who gained distinction In the medical pro fession by being one of the first to in troduce the use of quinine in the treat ment of‘fevers in the South, was bom 100 years ago in Morgan county, 'nGeorgia. In 1827 he began-the prac tice of medicine In Texas. He was one of the organizers and first presi dent of the Texas Medical association, and for many years was a member of the faculties of the Galveston Medical school and the-University of Louisi ana. .He was an extensive contributor to the medical journals, and was - re garded as an authority on. the treat* ment of tropical fiiseues. , NO LACK OF NERVE THERE According to Old Farmer, He Knew One Man Who Could Almost Supply a Country. . "What Is going to- bring back the good times?” asked the old farmer of the grocer to whom he had sold his early rose potatoes at less than last year’s prices. “Well, sir,” was the reply, "nothing ails this country today but lack of nerve. We had a panic and people got scared. There might have been some reason for this scare at first, but that passed away long ago. If we’d all go it now and have nerve things would be all right” “You think that would do it, eh?” “I’m sure of it Have you seen any signs of improvement down your way?” “Yes, a slight sign. That is, I know a feller who’s got his nerve with him.” "Yes?” “He owed me $3 when the panic set In, and, of course, I held off about asking for it. ’Tain’t my way to drive nobody to the walL I jest let him go until the other da& and then I met him and said: ‘“ Jim, what about them $3?’ “ ‘What $3?’ " ‘Them three you owed me for wood when the panic set in.’ “ ‘Why, you darned old scoundrel, instead of me owin’ you $3 for wood you owe me $4 for work, and if you don’t pay it inside of a week I’ll begin a lawsuit agin ye!’ "That’s one of the slight signs down our way of folks getting their nerve back,” continued the farmer, “and if it spreads all over the country I hain’t going to say whether. it will bring back good times or bring on such a pinch that paper collars will go up to $5 a box, and we’ll have to use dried catnip for smoking tobacco.”—Ex change. How to Be 100 Years Old. Celebrating her one hundred and second birthday down in Philadelphia a few days ago, Aunt Mary Bender, with hair not yet wholly gray, and with strength enough to do her share of the work, told how to keep young in spite of time. “Just take care of yourself and nature will do the rest. Early to bed and early to rise. Be careful what you eat. Look on the bright side of things and—keep busy.” Aunt Mary ought to know. Her granddad lived to be one hundred and four, and both of her parents crowded the century mark. “Keep busy!” There you have the big end of the recipe. Of course, you must also try to keep healthy—that is, you mustn’t wilfully abuse the body God gave you. ■ But to keep busy, to keep interested in congenial and useful service, is the main thing. Idleness kills. Fretting kills.' Grinding on sand in the ma chinery kills. But wholesome, inter esting, well-varied work—that nevei kills. Obey Yonr Orders, Woody.

It don’t matter a doggon how much other people most lose, the bankers and the “ howly” church must have their pay. They even have the gall to command the government to hand over its own rightful rev- ennes to pay private greed a big interest on its watered speculations. Don’t it beat the dickens?—Fool Killer.

Majnrify of Friends Thought Mr. Hughes Would Die, But Oue Helped IBm to [Recovery. ■f ■ - m Pomeroyton, Ky.-In interesting ad vices from this place, Mr. A. J. Hughes writes as follows: “I was down with stomach trouble for fiver (5) years, and would have sick headache so bad, at times, that I thought surely I would die. I tried different treatments, but they did not seem to do me any good. I got so bad, I could not eat or sleep, and all my friends, except one, thought I would die. He advised me to try Thcdford’s Black-Draught, and quit taking other medicines. I decided to take his advice, although I did not have any confidence in it. I have now been taking Black-Draught for three months, and it has cured me— haven’t had those awful sick headaches since I began using it. I am so thankful for what Black- Draught has done for me.” Thedford’s Black-Draught has been found a very valuable medicine for de rangements of the stomach and liver, it is composed of pure, vegetable herbs, contains no dangerous ingredients, and acts gently, yet surely, it can be tree y used ,by young and old, and should be kept in every family-chest.

Deafness is the result and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine ca sea out of ten are caused by Catarrh which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces.

SEPTEMBER 16, 1914 NUMBER 9 LL Roosevelt Would Have Voters Forget His Tariff Record. „„ policy Today, In Advocating a Commission to Deal With the Subject, Plainly Seen to Be a Selfish One. Mr Roosevelt still has hts nerve Lhn N otw ithstanding h is record „ !L subiect, he is talk in g tariff bold- lr n n d lambasting both th e Repub- S«ns Md the DemocraU lor their „tfst tariff legislation. Rt said at Hartford: •You are indignant about the pres- I tariff. You believe it represents L improper theory of tariff making, jjj moreover the application of im proper methods In the actual construe jlpp of the tariff by congress. We Progressives agree with you. But we nsfc rot: to remember that it was the men who pushed through the Payne- Aldricli tariff who more than any oth ers are responsible for the revulsion of feeling which resulted in the enact ment of the present tariff.” But not- a word about the difficulties He Republicans encountered in their revision and who had created them. Xot a word about the influences that prevailed to keep tariff revision In abejance between 1901 and 1909. Not a word about how pat and important Mr. McKinley’s last words at Buffalo bad made the subject, and how easy it would have been at that time to write those words into law. Mr. Roosevelt’s silence simply em phasizes all those points. The story is common knowledge. But what is Mr. Roosevelt’s propo sition now? Practically,' to take the tariff out of the hands of congress— which cannot be done—and give it in to the hands of a so-called tariff com mission. This, if it could be done, would leave Mr. Roosevelt In case- of his return to the IThite House with full time to press upon congress-aud the country his policies about the trusts. H e'would not be called upon to give any time to the tariff, either In the way of rec ommending to congress, or following the subject elsewhere. Mr. Roos'evelt likes the trust ques tion best of all, and probably because George W. Perkins does. Mr. Perkins Is not an authority on the tariff, hut Is on big business. He has had his training in that field, knows a good d?al about it, has some pronounced opinions about what the government should do, and has impressed Mr. Boosevelt deeply with them. So that tariff revision might not fare much better under “four years more of Theodore” than undifer the seven and a half years when he occupied the presidency.

Following is the substance of letter which was received by J. J Daniels, of Pomona, J?. O., from her sister in England. Mrs. Dan iels’ sister resides in the town of Sittiagbourne, which is« 40 miles from London and abont 61 miles across the strait of Dover to Calais France. This letter gives in a small way the existing or rather some of the prevailing conditions that exist almost over the entire British Isles. Sittingbournc proper h a s population of abont 15,000 people and there are at present 8,000 Boldiers in that town. Most of the residents of that town are compell ed to board two or three of these soldiers. Mrs. Daniels’ sister has two soldiers rooming with her; also her mother and father, who are around 70 years of age, having the same number to take care of. Every body in the town is under martial law.

State-wide primaries have now test ed the political sentiment of states .which held markedly different opin ions, or differed sharply in the relative strength of the great parties, in the presidential election of 1912. In ail of them the result has been the same in showing a great change of feeling in favor of the Republican party, and pointing to 'a political revolution next November. In Minnesota and Pennsylvania the order, two years ago, was Roosevelt, first, Wilson second and Taft third. In Iowa and Kansas the Democratic can didate led, with the Progressive sec ond and the Republican la st In Ohio the first place fell to Wilson, with Taft next and Rooeevelt IasL This year, in the popular vote pri maries, these states all went the same way. AU of them put the Republican ticket far above, either of the others. In all of them 'the virtual disappear ance of the Progressive vote showed that the Progressives had returned to the party which they left in 1912. In every one of these states, all of which voted against the Republican ticket in 1912, the Republican vote this year wub much larger than the combined vote of the Democrats and the Progressives. Contests or no con tests, it was everywhere the same. The meaning of the figures recorded is too plain to be misunderstood. Union between the Republicans and the Pro gressives has taken place. Demo cratic defeat in-certain. Income Tax Fallacy. The economists who- assert it is for tunate that congress levied the income tax on the ground that otherwise the government would be confronted with a much larger deficit than the Euro pean war ie producing, do .not think back further than the day the Under wood bill became a lasw. .The fact is that the tariff revisers in Washington reduced the rates and piut Commodities on the free. 'list with the knowledge that it would reduce this customs reve nues between $76,000,(100 ani.$10O,000,f 000. To make up this deficit they levieij the income -tax. Had 'they -passed a revenue tariff bill, designed to raise money for the support of government, the income tax would have been un necessary, and all moniey needed would have been pouring in at the customs houses these many months.

Washington, Sept. 3.—From the best possible authority on the House ways and means committee, I learn ed today the exact nature of the draft which has been prepared of the emergency revenue tax bill to be presented by the committee to the House tomorrow shortly after Presi dent Wilson delivers to the joint ses sion of Congress his message explain ing the necessity for raising addition al revenues to meet the falling off in import taxes as a result of the Eu ropean war. Of most importance to North Caro lina is the fact that no tax is to be placed on tobacco. The draft of the bill prepared to day and agreed upon between Presi dent Wilson, Secretary of the Treas ury McAdoo1 HouseLeader Under wood and Senator Simmons provides for taxing beer, whiskey and wines, railroad “tickets, and gasoline oil. Beer is to have an additional tax placed on it of fifty cents per barrel. Gasoline is to be taxed two cents per gallon. A five per cent tax is to be placed on railroad tickets. Wines and whiskey are to be taxed on a graduated scale, so as to raise ap proximately $8,000,000 per annum. —Geo. H.

We met at the Baraca room at 7 o’clock and marched- from there to Mr. Oaudell’s home. He and his wife were standing at the gate to welcome all who came in with a hand shake andr smile. Eev. Marley led in prayer, after which he made a short but inter esting talk. There were four musicians present with string mnsic, their first song was, Be robed and ready when the Bride Groom comes. We were all anxi ous for the melons to be cut, as there was so many present, we couldn't understand how all were to be served. But we were soon relieaved of our anxiety, as they just' kept bringing ont and cutting melons until all present were satis fied! After the melons werj eaten a greater part of the young people played the new ring play (tap hand.) The music was kept up most of the .time, and.w.as greatly -enjoyed: by all who heard it. There was over a hundred and. fifty present, taken as a whole it reminded one of a Baraea Fhilathea convention. We were dismissed with a word ot prayer by Mr. Greason.

The “buy-a-bale-of-eotton move ment, started in the South last week to help the farmers dispose of this year's crop at a reasonable price, was given quite a boost today, when President Wilson bought a bale of H. Y. McCord,of Georgia. The ac tion of the President inspired others. Every -member of the North Caro lina congressional delegation will purchase at least one bale for 10 cents a pound and hold it until the market price is 10 cents or more. William Leinster, assistant clerk to the Finance Committee, and Joe F. Taylor, secretary- to Senator Sim mons, appoined themselves a com mjtteeof two to see that every North Carolina employe of the Gov ernment in Washington and every representative of a North Carolina newspaper here show his patriotism by purchasing one bale of cotton and keeping it until the market price goes to 10 cents or higher. The buy-a-bale-of-cotton plan working out. It is predicted that at least 5,000,000 bales will be pulled off the Fall market by this means. That would help very much. Senator Hope Smith bought 10 bales, his wife four and his youHgest daughter one today. The cotton bought will Be kept on the farm or in some warehouse until the buyer calls for it.—H. E. C.

It Is. the purest I Qneen Anne abode, complete down to !the tiniest detail. Ordinary houses jean never give the entire idea of her i period as this little one can. For, [naturally, in the process of time the !arrangement of everything alters; the j structure is rebuilt, furniture and !hangings wear out and are discarded iand later styles are introduced. Whereas our doll’s house, made not later than the end of the 17th cen- ■ tury, has remained behind closed glass I doors, lovingly cherished by Dutch !housewives, the most careful and eon- iservative of their kind, and it shows ;us just how the Dutchman of those days lived, and very much how the Bnglishman of a rather late date ar ranged his home. And now to come to the doll’s house and its history. It has evidently always been consid ered a masterpiece, for so long ago as 1738 we find literature on the subject. The chronicler says that >it owes its existence to a noble lady of Amster dam, but does not give hername. Not only did she lavish years and the ut most loving care upon her.hobby, but it cost her a small fortune besides, cer tainly over $5,000. It was probably begun toward 1675 and finished about 1690. We know that in the early days of the 18th century it belonged to a rich Amsterdam tobacco merchant, from whom it passed to his daughter, who married a man with "the romantic name of Slob. Mrs. Sfob bequeathed it to her daughter, who alio left it to a daughter. This lady died at a very great age in Utrecht, leaving the doll's house as a legacy to the city. Not only this, but it Iiad also gone through a crisis that few doll houses can boast of. It had ,actually been burgled. One dark night'in 1831, when it was temporarily located in a coun- 'try village, thieves broke through and stole not only the gilt cbtandelier, the pride of the drawing-room, but also the silvered flreirons, a tortoise shell inlaid cabinet, a chest of aanber, inlaid with gold and ivory, and the plate- chest full of baby spoons a.nd forks. Luckily the house was so aanply pro vided that the furniture '.was not missed, but the owner, distressed that the dolls should be driven .to eat with their fingers, at once ordered a simi lar set to be,made as quickly as (Possi ble. Prestching and Criticism. I James Russell Lowell’s designation of the “paieon” as the chief person in the community may be contrasted with a remark by a New York preacher be fore the YaIS alumni the other day, when he declared: “If a man has a decided leaning toward the ministry he must be Unconventional enough to brave his estimation in the eyes of his fellow-students as a fool.” A bright young man may be regarded as a fool for entering a profession in which the average salary is hardly equal to the wages of a hod carrier, but he could not be' set down aB a .fool as a servant of the people. The history of the ministry justifies the reverent estimate that puts it first among the professions. The preacher has been the defender of the best things at home and has carried. civi lization to the uttermost parts of the earth. Our country and our age re spect the priesthood of the church uni versal. The world does not expect an apology from the man who would help his fellow-man. If the Yale students look upon young men who have lean ings toward the ministry as fools then the boot is on the other leg.—Phila delphia Ledger. Grabbing the Benefits. Jones joined'a'beneficial organiza tion. dnd two of the brothers meeting on the street one afternoon, he be came the subject of their conversa tion. “I understand, Jim,” remarked one of the pair, "that Jones is on the sick list again. Is that true?” “Yes,” answered the second, “he '.has been laid up for about three “Awfully sorry to hear that,” sympa- Ifhetically returned the first “Guess ;I will have to run around and Se© him. !Where’s his home?” "Hasn’t got any,” answered the oth er with a significant smile. “Just as I soon as he joined our lodge he gave up ,his house and leased a cot in. a hospital.” Tango Music. i Let me here say a few words1 about ‘tango music., Every tango enthusiast, •of course, knows that the music of this dance is founded on the Habanera. There are dozens and dozens of tango tunes, but- one of the best for begin-, ,new to study the marking of time is “BI Choclo.” Still, even in this popu lar tune there is-a considerable lack of melody, and therefore perhaps the 'best advice to give to taangoists In their days is to see to it that the time of the tune from. which they study the various movements is absolutely correct ^nd alBO’ never to confuse {tango movements, with ragtime move ments—5 mistake, by: the way, which, strangely enough, is quite a common ,one.—Strand. WITH BEATEN TROOPS CORRESPONDENT TELLS OF A ROUT IN MEXICO. Just What It Means to Be Fleeing for Life, With Savage Opponents Pressing Their Victory Closely. I suddenly discovered that I had been hearing’ shooting for some time, John Heed writes In the Metropolitan. It sounded immensely far away—like nothing so much as a clicking type writer. Even while it held our atten tion it grew. The barely noticeable pricking of rifles deepened and be came serious. Out in front now it was practically continuous—almost the roll of a snare drum. We could see them now, hundreds of little black figures, riding everywhere through the chaparral; the desert swarmed with them. Savage Indian yells reached us. A spent bullet droned overhead, then another; then one unspent, and then a whole flocK singing fiercely. Thud! went the adobe walls as bits of clay flew. Peons and their women rushed from house to house, distracted with fear. A trooper his face black with powder and hate ful with killing and terror, galloped past shouting that all was lost And then came the rout—a wild hud dle of troopers all together, lashins their terrified horses. They passed us without stopping, without noticing, all blood and sweat and blackness. Don Thomas,. Pablo Arriola, and after them little Gil Tomas, his horse staggering and falling dead right in front of us. Bullets whipped the wall on all sides of us. • “Come on, meester,” said Juan, "let’s go!” We began to run. As I panted up the steep opposite bank of the arroyo I looked back., Gil Tomas was right behind me with a red and black checked serape around his shoulders. Don Petronilo came in sight, shooting back over his shoulder, with Juan Santillanes at his side. In front raced Fernando Silveyra, bend ing low over his horse’s neck. AU around the hacienda was a ring of galloping, shooting, yelling men; and as far as the eye could reach, on ev ery rise of the desert, came more. Juan Vallejo was aready far ahead, running doggedly with his rifle in one hand. I shouted to him to turn off the high road and be obeyed, without look ing back. I followed. It was a straight path through the desert toward the mountains. The desert was as bald as a billiard table here. We could be seen for miles. My camera got be tween my legs. I dropped it. My overcoat became a terrible weight. I shook it off. We could see the com- paneros fleeing madly up the Santo Domingo road. Beyond them unex pectedly appeared a wave of galloping men—the flanking party from the south! The shooting broke out again —and then pursuers and pursued van ished around the corner of a little hill. Thank God the path was diverging from the road! I ran on—ran and ran and ran, until I could run no more. Then I walked a few steps and ran again. I wap sobbing instead of breathing. Awful cramps gripped my legs. Here there was more chapparal, more brush, and the foothills of the western mountain? were near. But the entire length of the path was visible from behind. Juan Vallejo had reached the foothills, half a mile ahead. I saw him crawling up a little rise. Suddenly three armed horsemen swept in behind him and raised a shout. He looked around, threw his rifle far into the brush and fled for his. life. They shot at him. but stopped to . recover the rifle. He disappeared over the crest, and theD they did, too. Military Coup. During the army maneuvers in Con necticut last summer, the Blues were doing their best to resist the advance of the Reds. To that end they “blew up” historic Washington bridge, which spans the Housatonic and connects the towns of Stratford and Milford. The disconcerting information that the structure had been “destroyed," and was therefore unavailable foi crossing the river, was announced bj the Reds by means of large placards conspicuously posted on the endB o] the bridge. Nevertheless, soon afterward, some Blue pickets surprised a squad of Reds in the act of crossing the bridge, and rushed upon them. “Hey, there, you idiots!” they shouted. “You can’i come over that way! Don’t you know there isn't any bridge there?” The Reds, caught in a serious breach of the rules, were in a most embarrass ing position, but the quick wit of one of them saved the day. “Go on—idiots yourselves!” he retorted, indignantly. “Can’t you fellows see that we’re swimming!"—Youth's Companion. Acquits -Nero of Incendiarism. According to an archeologist .who has been lecturing in Rome, Nero was in no way responsible for the burning of the imperial city. Nor were the early Christians, who have at various times been accused of incendiarism.

As a result of the split in the Repub- lican party, we have tariff legislation not to. accord with the views of a ma- jority of the voters, and the country is now paying the penalty.. One of the strongest forces in empelling Progres sives to return to the Republican fold is dissatisfaction with the present tar iff law. ■ Beresford’s Dilemma. Lord Charles Beresford, the English naval officer, once landed at New York, and was immediately asked tc dinner by a deputation of prominent men, who would take no denial. He appeared at the banquet in morning dress, his hosts all being correctly at tired, and he began his speech by apologizing for his apparent lack ol good maimers. He had confided his difficulty, he said, in being at -the eleventh houi j without evening clothes, to the hotel! manager, who told him that the m at1 ter was quite easy, and that he had only to start a trifle early and call j In at Messrs. So-and-so, 963 Something avenue, off Forty-nine hundred and Ffty-second street, where he would bn accommodated in no time. To his dismay, however, the shop keeper expressed his regret and in ability to comply with his request, and said, “The fact is, sir, I have generally some 25 suits of evening clothes os hire, but there’s a big dinner in the city tonight to Admiral Lord Charlet Beresford, and they have all been loaned out!”—Youth’s Companion. No Hesitation. During a municipal campaign in Chicago a politician dropped in toe morning to see a certain grocer. Dur ing the conversation that took place, the politician asked, “And I may count upon your support, may I not?” “Why, no, -I am sorry to say,” re plied the grocer. “The fact is, I have promised my support to the other can didate.” The politician laughed. “Ah,” said he, “in politics, promising and per forming are two different things.” “In that case,” said the grocer cor dially, “I shall be glad to give you my promise, sir.”—Lippincott’s. Rocking Chair Her Coffin. The body of Mrs. Louise Cunning ham was placed on a rocking chair in stead of in. a casket at her funeral at Philadelphia. This was done in ac cordance with a wish of the dead wom an, who was formerly a vaudeville dancer and the wife of Jerry Cunning ham, the minstrel. Mrs. Cunningham’s body lay in a rocking chair among the mourners. The hands were peacefully folded and the head reclined a little to one side, as though in slumber. Following the ceremony the body was cremated, as Mrs. Cunningham had desired. Democrats Not Reformers. The Asheville Citizen.

THE PEOPLE’S RIGHTS MAINTAIN; UNAWED BY INFLUENCE AND UNBRIBED BY GAIN.” Separats Good From Rivers and Hsrbors BilU Aoproprtations Need Not Be Cut Un- necessarily.

Itcan appropriate funds for necessary new enterprises. And it can cut out the items that have come under the trell-grounded attack of those who do „ot wish to see large sums spent for unworthy purposes at this crucial time. There is public service in keeping ping the great government projects that have been undertaken with the clear understanding that further ap propriations would be made for them. We do not wish to see men thrown dut of work in this period of readjust ment of our business and financial structure to the changing demands ol {he world’s commerce.' Certain new projects of admitted benefit also are included in the bill as it came from the house. Others have been added in the senate. It is the weakness of the criticism of the bill that it has not made a suffi ciently specific line of distinction be tween the good features and the bad features of the bill. Congress should do this itself. It could then go before the country and point to a "clean” rivers and harbors bill, designed not only to help forward our plan for a new birth of American chipping but also to tide over the present economic readjustment. Futile Protest Against Paternalism. The Louisville CourIer-Journal is be hind the times, for it seems to think that there is still a Democratic party opposed to sumptuary TaWs-and sup porting the doctrine of Jefferson that- the less the government meddles with the affairs of the people the better off are the people. It is too late to raise the specter of departed Jeffersonian- ism to frighten the advocates of pro hibition in Kentucky. The Democrat ic party today is more paternal than the Hamiltonian Federalists of the early days of the republic. It not only favors sumptuary legislation upon what men shall drink, but it is using Its power at the present moment to estend the hand of the government over every possible human activity till it will not be long before a man can not torn over in bed on a hot night without first getting the permission o.fa government inspector. The Cour- ler-Journal's protest does credit to its Mings, but it is as futile as object ing to the excessive speed of the etaEe coach in the days of the Iight- Dtag express. - People Turn to Republicans. Discontent with the Democrats is shown by revolt in the radical wing, as instanced in the revival of popu lism by the Nebraskans who are dis satisfied with the present adminis tering of affairs of the country. The effort to effect a national Populist or ganization shows that the administra tion over which the secretary of state "ields wida influence Id not satisfac tory to the radicals who once pooled “sues with the Democrats to promote Presidential ambitions of William • Bryan. AU this means subtraction m toe strength of the Democratic JarJy. Ey its fruits it is tested and J toese it has failed to give satisfac- on to any considerable element of e population.

MOCKSVILLE, NORTH CAROLINA. WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 23, 1914 NUMBER 10 A Gambling Ring. I went to the Oarnival while it was here two( weeks ago, and I never in all my life saw as com plete a gambling ring as was spread out to catch tne laboring man’s hard earned money None of us doubt the moral integrity of onr mayor and board of aldermen, for they are all gentlemen, but it see ms that they were too busy with their own affairs to investigate and find ont the nature of and the de moralizing influenced would have ou the young people of our town. If they had I don’t believe they would have allowed it. It was an suit and stumbling block to the three prayer services that is con ducted every week iu the town. It seems to me that it’s the. duty of the leaders of a town to look .Uter the moral uplift as well as its secular affairs. Now the twen ty dollars that show paid for its privilege was but a small ldrop in the bucket compared to the amount of hard earned money they carried away from here. Now some may fhink or even say it is none of my Onsiness what they do with their money. I admit that, but it’s not you I am talking about—it’s the general principal of the'thing I am speaking of. You say they have the same kind of things at all the fairs and the State also gives them Iicecse to operate their-uiachinery. I admit that also, bat is the State iIBy criterian to be guided by as to morals. The Bible is the fun* ilamental of all moral iaw and or der, and if you will bring up your Bible and prove to me by it that there was no harm or gambling at that show, I will admit that I am ■vrong and that the show had a good moral influence. There is an idea in the minds of some very ^ood people that the church of to- Iay is declining in its spiritual power compared to fifty years ago, *nd seem to be at some loss to snow the reason, but if they will consult the aged man or women who has retained their ,first love all down through the years of the past, half century they could .tell rhem of several reasons and all rbese reasons added together make one big reason. I might say a areat deal more, but for fear I weary the critic I will close. W. C. P. ErCHISON. Mr. Davis and the Tobacco Fanners Progressive Farmer. No, we do not advise any farmer to write Mr. D. V. Davis and pay him to say when tobacco .ought to be cut. Mr. Davis may have some supernatural revelation from the High Powers, but he hasn’t con vinced as of it; and unless ho has some special revelation?, then the government has expert tobacco men in its employ who will give farmers just as good information without cost. As a tobacco authority says in a letter co the Editor: “ I might say further, however, that I consider this a scheme to get free advertising from the paner and an unworthy effort to extract money from the farmers. He sends similar letters to the country pa pers pretty generally throughout the tobacco seetion. When a re sponse is made with a request for additional information Mr. Davis answers that he will furnish it tor a small fee, r.aming the fee. This at any rate, is the procedure as it has come to my attention. In some cases I have asked just what it is that-he recommended but have never got anything I could under stand and as stated by the subscri bers they are under obligations not to divulge the information.” One Experience.

The state department has been piti fully ineffective In connection with the special demands put upon it by the sudden coming on of war. Something like paralysis has seized upon it. For weeks It has been deluged with in quiries from anxious persons all over the country as to the where abouts of Americans in Europe and their financial condition. 'Definite ad dresses have been given to the de partment, which undertook to pursue inquiries through diplomatic and-con sular offices abroad. But the depart ment has nothing to show In the way of results. In truth, private inquiry has far outrun the government In the matter of hunting up Americans In Europe. A case In point has come to the Argonaut’s notice. On August 4 the department was asked to learn the whereabouts and circumstances of cer tain San Francisco women traveling wattended and believed to be at Rome/Genoa or Montreaux. The de partment glibly promised to cable im mediately. A California senator and representative have called repeatedly at the department and have been as sured that it was. busy through its BSuropean agents. Losing faith in de partment methods, the husband of One of the ladies In San Francisco got himself diligently to work at this end of the cable and In three days man aged to locate them. Still nothing has come out of the department. Parallel Instances are many. Private energy beats the department of state with its elaborate system of European repre sentation at every turn. The" trouble Is that the minor officials of the de partment are inexpert men practically unfamiliar with European conditions. They were given their places by Sec retary Bryan, not because they were fit for their jobs, but because It suited his ideas of political expediency. In cidentally It is noted that the service of Uie American embassy In London was so demoralized by the demands put upon it by the war that it had fig uratively speaking to throw up Its hands. In the emergency Representa tive Gardner of Massachusetts, who happened to be In "London, a man of experience In diplomatic matters, has practically taken charge of the detail work of the embassy and is bringing order and efficiency out of confusion and- panic. One wonders why Mr. Gardner should not be in London in stead of Mr.- Page.—San Francisco Argonaut. Democratic Campaign Blunder, Among the great issues put forward by the Democrats in- Maine is Cannon- ism, and another Is the tariff on sugar. It is said that these issues were im ported direct from Washington and were manufactured In- the national Democratic committee headquarters. The. Republicans have often charged the Democrats with holding on to old threadbare Issues that have served their purpose and been forgotten. This report from Maine would appear to Justify the Republican charge and lead one to believe that the Demo cratic managers do not know how to take hold of new issues or defend them after they have been made by force of circumstances. Predicts Blg Changes In House. “Even Democrats concede that the next house of representatives will show a big falling oft In the Demo cratic representation,” remarked H..B. McManus of Chicago In an interview at Washington. “There will be, per haps, a greater number of one-term ers go out of the sixty-third congress than have gone out of any previous house In years, and, I presume, they will carry with them heart burnings and a firm conviction that constituen cies, like republics, are ungrateful.” Country Might Better Walt. The securities bill has not been pop ular In the senate, and so many tech nical questions have arisen that half- baked legislation would doubtless be the'result If the measure were forced through now. The railroads of the country shave not been able to get themselves out of the financial woods, and even the crop movement, which Is always supposed to benefit-roads in the agricultural sections, Is not likely to change the situation. This Is a time to go slow in legislation. Drop Anti-Trust Legislation. The country would breathe a sigh of relief If the entire anti-trust pro gram were dropped until matters have a chance to adjust themselves or be adjusted. It will be much safer and more satisfactory for members of con* gress to survey the field and get In touch with their constituents before proceeding further with business leg islation. , Out of the Limelight.

PrMse The Republican Platform. Hmip Leader. Most of the papers of the state —ejtea the Democratic papers— -ipeak only words of praise of the platform adopted by the recent Bepriblican convention- A few hav<s~ criticised it because it failed to qnter into a discussion of the tariff and other questions of nation al jjbiitics. Bat it must be remembered that this. was a state-convention and it was eminently proper that it should Uave confined its platform declara tions mainly to state issues. Qur Democratic friends do not greatly enjoy the prospect of a campaign waged principally along the line of state issues. The extravagaDce of the Demo cratic party in the . state govern ment is an issue that the Democratic party is not- anxious to face. Under Democratic control the assessment of property has been very largely increased while the tax rate has been kept right up to the constltu tional limit. This process has been “oing'oh ior years and the only tbiugthat kept the party from levying still more taxes is the con stitutional limitation of two thirds of oiirper cent. But with all the taxes; levied and collected the state is going deeper and deeper in debt every year. Q nlyafew yearsago a large amount of bonds were sold and the next legislature will face another heavy deficit and unless they c^n find some way of gxtor ting more taxes from the people; another big bond issue will be necessary. ^ . The Democratic party has shown its iicompetency in the matter of handling thebvsihess end, of the state’s affairs aud the leaders ol tbe party do not eajoy the prospect of campaign waged along state issues. Ginners Will Store Cotton. Attempts are being made all over the South to provide ways and means to prevent the sacrifice of the cotton crop, and various plans have been adopted in various lo* calities. The storage plan seems to offer the best solution, where arrangments can be made for it, and the arrangements will have to be perfected largely by local efforts in cotton market town. A livetotheiieedsof the situr- tion, the Statesville ginners have planned to help their customers store cotton. Mr. L. B. Britol ad vertises today that he has rented a warehouse and boneded it in a strong company; that he will store cotton, give a receipt for it cover ing insurance and all expenses, at a small-charge.per month. These receipts will be availablo as collat eral at the banks, Mr. Bristol says, the banks baviDg assured him they will make as liberal advance as possible. The Maiden Ginning Company advertised in the last issure of The Landmark that. Mr. N. B. MillB had a new warehouse at their gin with a capacity of 2,000 bales; thathe will store cotton ginned at Chamberlain’s Liniment If you ate ever troubled with aches, psins or soreness of the muscles, you will appreciate the good qualities of Chamber lain's Liniment.' Many sufferers from rheumatism and sciatica have, used it with the best results. It is especially valuable for lumbago and lame back. For sale by all dealers.

This plan has been highly commended. Mr. Fred Conger of Statesvilie offers to allow his customers 10 cents a pound for all cotton delivered to him by November I, and in addi tion he will afllow any advantage of the rise in price by January I. That is to say, if-eotton goes above 10 cents by that time Mr. Conger will pay the difference. The offers mentioned will doubt less take care of considerable local cotton. Another plan that seems to be growing the popularity in this and other cotton States is. to urge everybody who can spare the price of a bale of cotton to buy a bale at 10 cents a pound and hold it Ior a higher price. With the right sort of boosting many thousand bales of cotton could be held off the market in this way.—Statesville Land mark. DON’T TAKE WRONG MEDICINE. If your liver gets lazy you need a liver tonic, not merely a laxative for the bowels. Many people take a simple iaxative when the liver gets sluggish rather than take calo mel, which they know to be dan gerous. Butam erelaxative will not start a sluggish liver. What is needed is a tonic that will liven up the liver without forcing you to stay at home and lose a day from your work. . You have euch a tonic in Dod son's Liver Tone. Dodson’s Liver Tone is all that is claimed for it, because the druggists who eell it agree to hand back the money with a smile, to auy person sot satisfied with tbe relief Dodson’s gives. Dodson’s Liver Tone is a veget able liquid with a very pleasant taste and’is a prom pt and r eliable remedy for constipation, bilious ness, sour stomach and torpid liver. Crawford’s Drug Store give it their personal guarantee. Large bottle of Dodson’s Liver Tone is only 50 cents. For children or grown people it ia the ideal medi cine. Try it on the guarantee.

The Republicans of Yadkin and Wilkes met on Sept. 7th and nomi nated Linville Bumgarner, of Wilkes county for the State Senate to re present Davie, Yadkin and Wilkes. Our county chairman would not call a-convention, to elect delegates to this convention, which explains why Davie was not represented. At Lex ington, on the 11th, T. E. McRary was nominated for Congress by the Republicans and Progressives of the 7th district. Davie was not repre sented at this convention for the same reason. Seems to us that we need a leader for the Republican party in this county. Two years ago we did not stand back on elect ing delegates to the Senatorial con vention at Yadkinville, for the rea son that it was Davie’s time to name the State Senator.

DAD'S OLDEST GIRL. The Boy Preacher. We went to Advance Sunday af ternoon to hear Vance Heavener1 the boy preacher, who was billed to preach at the Baptist church there Sunday night. Vance is a very small boy about 12 years old, and lives with his parents on a farm in Catawba county, about 12 miles southwest of Hickory. Before the hour for preach ing arrived the people for miles a round began coming in. and at the beginning of the service at least five hundred people were packed in the church with- several hundred outside unable to get in. The crowd present must have numbered at least seven hundred. Rev. Hall, of Fork Church, introduced the boy preacher and de spite the great crowd and the un comfortably warm building, :close attention was paid to every word uttered by the young man. of God. He read ten verses of the 19th chap ter of Matthew, and took as his text: "Let us arise and be going.” His sermon was full of truths for the Christian and sinner alike, and he made it plain that we must ail be awake and at work for the Lord. He gave many reasors why the sleeping Christian should awake and go for ward in the Lords’ work. He urged the followers of the lowly nazarine to read the Bible more, to attend the services and to not be growling Christians. He spoke for . about 25 or 30 minutes, and all who heard him were favorably impressed with his sermon, He is indeed a wonder ful boy, and is endowed with un usual intelligence He preached at Fork Church Sunday niorning at 11 o’clock to a large audience- • He re turned home Monday. ■ We are hop ing that Vance will come to Mocks- Viilesometimein the uesir future and preach for us. The Allies Have The Advantage, And Thousands Are Killed—Two Hun dred Thousand Prisoners. London, Sept.' 17.—The German army of invasion is at bay along the ninety miles front north of the river Aisne, where the allies have won a foothold on the northern river bank after a thrilling crossing under fire. A battle has been waged two days along this line without any definite result outside of appalling losses. Both sides are using the pause in the operations today to bring up supplies and reinforcements. Officials hesitate to discuss the cas ualties in the battle thus far but enough details are filtering back from the front to make even military observers shudder at the cost. The tales of those who have been over the track of the armies from Marne to Aisne give gruesome ac counts of heaps of bodies. London, Sept. 17.—A Paris dis patch says fighting was hottestabout Scissions where British troops were engaged. Recounting a tale of slaughter during the German retiring move ment, the correspondent says at one place a pile of-bodies six feet high was found, from behind which the Germans resisted their pursuers. Washington, Sept. 17.—A German embassy message denies reports of reverses in France, saying the retire ment of the western wing was a tactical move to strengthen the posi tion and that all French attacks were repulsed. It says the Temps reports recent British losses at 15,000 dead and wounded. Petrograd, Sept. 17.—Officials-be lieve Austrian and German generals are planning a new concentration on Galicia, probably at Cracow, of over a million men. The enormous Austrian losses are said to be due to placing raw levies oii the firing line. Petrograd1 Sept. 17.—The Bourse Gazette estimates that Russians held 200,000 prisoner^ up to few days ago, most of whom have been distributed in various districts, and given labor of various kinds. London, Sept, 17.—A Petrograd message says that German efforts to surround the Russians in East Prus sia have failed and that Russian suc cesses continue in Galicia along- the left bank of the San, where many prisoners and guns were taken yes terday. Petrograd, Sept. 17.—TheTurkish army is said to be concentrating on the Bulgarian frontier. Fork Church Nows.

It crosses the old road at the old Barbara Austin place and goes entirely through the center of this place, crossing the Austin branch add going through the Pass field, crossing the old road and going down through the old Mul ligan place. The road crosses Bear Creek about a hundred feet up the creek from the old bridge, crosses the old road here and winds up through the woods and comes out into the old road in front of the Ott Helper place. Here there is a nice stretch of ridge road for about three miles going past CeBter and on towards Calahaln,- following the old road for the most part. At the Bob Anderson place, about a mile from Calanaln, it leaves the old road and goes to the right through the Bob Anderson place, erosses Little Creek and comes out into the village of Calahaln about in front of the old Charles Ander son honse. Fsom Calahaln to Hunting Creek, about a half mile, it follows the old road mostly, crossing the creek just above the old ^bridge. There is a beautiful view of Hunting Creek here as it is wide and straight, and looks likea river. The road -force is now at work on the grade up from the creek going towards County Line, about two miles away. Top soil has been put on from Mocks- ville to within about a mile of Calahaln, and traveling is fine. Concrete facings are being put iu at all the culverts, and at the Aus tin branch there are concrete abut meets each fourteen feet high with a steel bridge, and at Bear Creek there are concrete abutments and three concrete piers each foui teen ieet high with a Bteel bridge.

I i. • ■■■ The Mingoa is one of the submarine flotilla stationed at Libau. On a Satur day several weeks ago it was out for : exercise in the neighborhood of the lightship off Libau, with its full crew of 19 men under the command of lieu tenant Garsoev, and as usual, a tender was present during the maneuvers, writes a St. Petersburg correspond- Ient of the Seattle Railway News. The ' Mingoa, which was apparently pro ceeding either well on to the surface, or Just awash, was suddenly discov ered by those on the tender to take a plunge in somewhat abnormal fash ion, throwing its stern well into the air. For some time it was not sup- ■ posed any accident had happened, and the return of the submarine to the sur face was expected, but the appearance of the emergency buoy gave the alarm. These buoys not only serve precisely to locate the whereabouts of a sunk en submarine, but are fitted with a tel ephonic apparatus, enabling the crew to communicate with the upper air. The moment the tender learned by these means what had happened, it steamed off to the lightship, which tel egraphed the news of the disaster to the dockyard headquarters at Libau. r The accident happened at three o’clock in the afternoon, but owing, it ; would seem, to the disposal of the men on a Saturday, the message was not t acted on for several hours, and it was not until nine o'clock at: night -that the salvage vessels reached the spot. The weather conditions remained hap pily favorable, and diver,s having fixed the lifting chains, the Mingoa was suc cessfully brought to the surface by midnight, having been nine hours at the bottom of the sea. When the after hatch was opened three men staggered out, barely able to crawl. Fifteen of the crew and the captain were got out unconscious from the after part of the vessel. There re mained only the coxswain, who was In the conning tower amidships. It was necessary to raise the submarine well out of the water to get at the conning tower, and this took another three hours' work, but the coxswain, when released after 12 hours’ confine ment was in the best condition of any of the crew. Clock to Jog the Memory. ■ A "memory” clock is about the new est thing in timepieces, according tc Playthings. This clock does not diffei In appearance from an ordinary clock, excepting that around the outside rim of the dial there are holes so placed that there are four of them between every hour sign. They are marked %. %, %, and a star, the latter being directly opposite the hour. With the clock is furnished a num ber, of small brass plugs, the purpose of which is this: When one of them is placed in one of the holes mentioned say at a point where it. marks a quar ter after one, the clock will make s distinct buzzing noise, loud enough tc attract attention, at exactly that time regardless, of how many other plugs there are in the clock. The value ol such a clock to a business man can scarcely be overestimated. As soon' as he arrives at his desk he can plug ui the clock in accordance with his ap pointments and other matters whicl have to be attended to at definite times. After the clock has beer plugged he can proceed to work anc forget all about his appointments. Al the first call of the buzzer he knows that a certain matter is due for his at tention, -which he may promptly for get after it is attended to, sure in th« knowledge that tJiei dock will watcl out for his other appointments. The Troublesome Postscript. Some years ago a well-known Tndi ana politician, who was a member oi the national committee of his party wrote to an active political worker is a distant part of the state, to give hint timely directions concerning the cam paign then in progress. The poli tician’s secretary was absent, so h« wrote the letter himself, although he knew his handwriting was as hard tc decipher as that of Horace Greeley. A week later his correspondent vis ited Indianapolis, and came to see the politician. . “Did you get my letter? Could you read, it?” asked the politician. “I didn’t have any trouble with it, except the postscript,” said the othei man. “That stuck me. I showed 11 to everybody in town. They could all read the letter, but no one could mak« put the postscript.” The man drew the letter from his pocket and handed it to the poli tician, who gave it a quick glance. “Heavens!” he exclaimed. “The postscript says, ‘Don’t let anyone see this letter.' ”—Youth’s Companion. Rather Personal. ; It was the season of Lent, and the vicar of a certain village church was solemnly and impressively exhorting his congregation to self-examination, abstinence, and repentance. The beadle, who is accustomed to sit be low the pulpit, is locally renowned as the owner of the biggfest mouth in the district Unfortunately he felt sleepy, and yawned at a, very critical and im pressive part of the minister’s sermon. “Pause, my brethren, at this solemn season of Lent, before it is too late,” exclaimed the preacher, “or you may be dragged into the abyss which is now yawning before you.” There was a suppressed titter in the 'congregation, the preacher looked sur prised, and the beadle a, little discom fited.—London Tit-Btts. Tenants of Modern Skyscrapers Ob ject to Taking Up Quarters In the Upper Stories. ffWith fhe completion of the Wool- worth building, the maximum in the height of buildings has been ob tained.” This was the expression of the principal of one of the largest renting agencies in this city, when asked concerning desirability or financial advantage of skyscrapers as office buildings, says the Wall Street Journal. The tenant has called a halt. “Had the demand continued,” he said, “there is no knowing where the engineer, the architect or the builder would have stopped. Very tall structures which may be erected hereafter will be put up for adver tising purposes and not for profit from rentals. There has been a re markable change of sentiment on the part of tenants within the past few years. Time was when there was a rush to get into the newest and loftiest of structures, but not now. It is stated on high authority that there is scarcely a building of more than 22 stories in New York that pays a dividend or decent interest on the capital invested. One of more than 30 stories that paid 13 per cent, for the first lew years after comple tion does not pay expenses today. That tenants do not want to go too high from the ground is expressed in the most forceful way possible by refusing'to rent space above a cer tain level or by vacating premises above that level for others lower in the same or other buildings. Vari ous reasons are assigned for the re fusal to go high and for changes to lower levels. Some complaint of the long elevator journey, others the comparative isolation, and still oth ers are honest enough to admit a shade of dread or doubt. In the Woolworth building, with 53 floors of office-renting space, there is none tenanted above the forty-first story, above which are twelve floors for rent.” Tlie ideal skyscraper seems to be one of about 15 to 20 stories.

A SHREWD PLAN. “How did you manage to find out how old Kate is?” ' “I asked her what she thought was a woman’s most interesting age,” SOME RULES FOR SUCCESS Things the Man Who Wants to Reach the Top Should Keep Ever In His Mind. If you want to make a success of anything keep at it and the meas ure of your achievement will depend upon how hard you “plug.” Eemember that one night of joy ous entertainment, accelerated. by strong drink, requires the physical and mental strength of two days of hard toil.' Too many persons are prone to give up a project before they really get started on it. Wliere one man dies from over work 100 die of stagnation. The employe who whatches the clock for quitting time is seldom found occupying the boss’ chair in the front office.' Don’t wait for somebody to slip money under your door; you must go out and make them give it up. Get the respect of your rivals by beating them at their own gaifte in a clean way—then you’re on the road to success. Take care of your body and when you have reached the age of forty or forty-five you’ll be able to run up stairs and can continue -to work at high pressure. MUSIC AS MEDICINE. Some one asked Oscar Hammer- stein the other day if he believed in the new therapeutic idea that music was a medicine. ^ “Believe in it? Of course I do,” the impresario replied. “I know-at least three operas that are a drug on the market, while as for popular songs, there isn’t one of them that doesn’t make me ill.” Wiat Editors Know.

A prominent official of one of the great railroad systems said recently that Winston-Salem had abont the best Fairs of any place in the South. Your Fairs said he, are largely of an instructive and educational na tore, which make them of value to the community in which they are held. The next Fair, which is to ha held during the week of Oct. the 5th, will be of special interest, in that extra efforts are being made to induce large exhibits in all de partments. The Fair authorities say that the large premiums offer ed are having a wonderfully good effect. Take one department for an ill ustrat ion. We refer to the ladies’ department. Thirty ladies with the president and other officers and about 15 committees are hard at work to make their exhibits the best in the State. Oneof the in teresting features of the ladies’ department will be a better baby contest and a large baby parade. Another fine show will be the commercial exhibits in the big ex position building. Mr. W. W. Smoak has charge of the liver stock show and it is his purpose to pull off a great live stock parade. One of the great features of the Fair will be the Educational Exhi bit under the management of Prof. ft. H. Latham, Superintendent of City Schools, and Prof. Spease, County Superintendent of Educa tion... A large number of eity and country schools will contest for prizes in this highly interesting show. On Tuesday of the Fair all school children will be admitted to the grounds free of charge. : Prof. Lathani to a number of schools located in towns in this section to participate in the free invitation to the Fair grounds on Tuesday. Aside lroira the various exhibits, extra efforts are being made to fur- uisn amusements of a high charao ter and plenty of them. The Great Argyle Exposition Co. will furnish 20 shows for the Mid way. Afreeentertainm entwillbe given each afternoon in front of the grandstand. Miss CharlotteBrant,. the celebrated soBg bird, will be one of the free attractions. Spectacular fireworks will be a feature each night. We have only named a few of the features for the interesting event.

The American Protective Tariff league has discovered a useful field for Its energies as a result of the war in Europe. It is sending requests to producers throughout the country to designate any article, raw material, or finished product, of use In agriculture,, mining, or manufacturing in the Unit ed States for the supply of which we are dependent upon foreign countries. It is the purpose of the league to in vestigate the possibility of successful domestic production of such articles, and urge upon Americans the desir ability of such changes in our exist ing tariff system as shall create new Industries in every line where we are now partly or wholly dependent oh foreign countries. American industries, it has been demonstrated recently, are absolutely dependent upon foreign sources of sup ply, for many necessary articles, in spite of our boasted independence of the rest of the world. The tariff league is to be commended for any efforts it may make In the direction, of achieving real industrial independ ence. Calamity to Country. There te no industry on earth that has played such an important ‘part In American history as that of wool man ufacturing. The village mill has been responsible for the wonderful develop ment of this branch of industry. In these small mills many of our past and present captains received their; schooling and in hundreds of New England towns everything American; from the cradle to the grave-centered: In the little mill that gave employ-' ment to grandfather,, father and-eons,: as well as mothers and daughters, and in these same towns Americanism was bred and lived. The passing of these small mills is a calamity. It is unwarranted because, it is due entirely to the acta of ihe present administration at Washing ton, particularly on account of the tar iff. Hundreds of these small mills are going to be forced out of business. They represent the life work and the entire investment, nf and thousands of loyal Americans are going to be driven out of employment. Curtailment of Industry. The enactment of the free-sugar pro vision of the tariff bill threatened with ruin the native industry, resulting in a curtailment of !planting ■ and a de ceased produetionj-which will amount this year to at least; 200,000 tons. Al though the entire tariff is not to be removed until 1916, sugar companies found it impossible to finance them selves in the face of a law which made it impossible for them to continue. Five centrals in Porto Rico were forced into receivers’ hands, and most .of the others were obliged to curtail their production. Louisiana, Hawaii pnd the western beets were not less injuriously affected. Duty Before Republicans. The next congress, even though it should be Republican in both branches, could not reverse the upset ting effects of .the WRson-Underwood tariff, or correct the enacted vagaries of antitrust legislation, but it could call a halt upon the chase of wild and woolly theories. The election of a Republican majority to either branch of the Sixty-fourth congress will re store confidence and tone up business In all of its ramifications. Dizzy? Bilious? Constipated?

Mr. Bar ber has an apple orchard contain ing about 178 acres, upon which are about 6,000 young trees. The tourists declare that they have never seen such apples. Mr. Bar ber estimates that he will gather, beginning this week, about three barrels of apples from each tree, or about 18,000 barrels of apples from the 178 acres. He has on the farm large two story refrigerating plant, and he will place the fruit on cold storage and ship as the de mand and price warrants. Mr. Barber has a national reputation as a grower of choice apples and always eops the prize at the state fair. Visitors to the state fair in recent years will recall the ex- hidits made by him, and he declares that this is the only year he has considered that his orchard has prod need a full and perfect yield.

I assUrethemthat I ap preciate the kindness. I announced myself a candidate on Aug, 12th, but some time before the primaries I saw and observed that the “trip pie alliance” formed in 1908 was in full force, and I was satisfied that the dirty methods then put in force were going to be used again, and I decided not to go to the primaries or convention, but a friend or two insisted upon my going, and I went to the primary for a short while. I have not been outside of Mocksviile since I announced my candidacy and I left it with my friends, but they were powerless before the well oiled and super-greased "tripple al liance” machine. Ishall not be a candidate at the November election for any office. Gonditions in Davie county have become intolerable un der the Republican machine; drunk on a thirty two years lease of office has made them think that eyerv one must bow down to the machine or be crushed and run over. Defeat carries no sting, nor does it leave a bad taste in the mouth, when fair and decent methods are used to bring it about. Does the machine ipvite an exposure of its di.rty meth ods? Hundreds of the best citizens of Davie county are not aware of what has been going on in this coun ty. Fromonecampaigntoanother I have hoped for a change of meth ods, but I have lost all hope as long as the present crowd are in the sad dle. The stables need a thorough cleaning, and 1914 is a good time to begin. E. H. MORRIS. Many Russians Killed and Captured Berlin, Sept. 23, by wireless via Sayville, L.

Ifs hardly larger than a Jersey mosquito, and yet I’ll bet a dollar that boat makes me lose a' couple of minutes.” The captain swung the wheel over and blew a deep, long blast from the whistle in an effort to scare the oper ator of the motor boat and cause him to change his course and pass to the stem of the ferryboat. The man in the motorboat paid no atten tion and went chug-chugging on his way. “Just what I said,” cried the cap tain, decorating his language, freely. “I have to make connections with an outgoing train, and if Fm a/minute late I have to explain why. If I keep on I’ll run down that motor boat. "In the position we lie now I have the right of way, and according to government rules and regulations I should keep on my course and let that fellow go astern of me. I have blown him a whistle, but you see he pays no attention because he doesn’t know what the ‘rules of the road’ are. I suppose he thinks Fm whis tling for fun. If I keep on I’ll run down that motorboat, and I’m sure to lose my job; if I stop till that dinky thing is out of the way I’ll lose a couple of minutes.” The captain stopped his boat and swore and the motorboat kept on. “My conception of hell,” said the captain, “is a crowded river like this with a lot of fool motorboats puffing around.” BELONG TO SUICIDE CLUBS Refugees In Germany Who Pledge Themselves to Self-De6truction Within Short Time. ' The Berlin police are busy tracing the founders of suicide club associar tions, which are a novelty for Ger many, although they have existed for many years in Kussia, despite police efforts to check their growth, and ex pansion. A surprisingly large number of these clubs have sprung up in Ger many, and are now banded into as sociations similar to the Eussian or ganizations. Members are recruited principally from Russian students and political refugees. Weekly meetings are held, each time at different places, in order to avoid police interference. At each meeting some members volunteer to commit suicide. Lots are drawn and the victim designated. He has to kill himself within the next 24 hours. In order to put him in as cheerful a mood as possible opium or some other drug is served, with wines, speeches are delivered on the useless ness of life and the delightfully hopeful existence of after death. Naturally, these weird associa tions have aroused the suspicions of the German authorities, and every night police raid dens where the ' prospective suicides are likely to be. What put the police on'the track was the fact that in Berlin some women accepted as members backed out when the time came for them to kill themselves, and after their ex pulsion took revenge by reporting to the police.

Was this the face that launched a thousand ships Anfl burnt the topless towers of Ilium? asks Marlowe, writing of the vision of golden Helen. A similar ques tion has been asked in regard to the diverging portraits of Mary Stuart. Was this the face that turned so many heads some 350 years ago? The queen of Scots was assuredly bewitching. Knox admits it, Knollys asserts it, Euthven lost his heart to her in Lochleven castle. Whoever saw her desired her. Yet not one of Mary’s portraits represented her as beautiful. Eomney has sufficiently explained the fascination of Lady Hamilton for Nelson. But 'Mary Stuart’s charm remains unexplained by her portraits. So with her descendant, the romantic “bonnie Prince Char lie.” None of his portraits ac counts for the extraordinary glamour that his personality cast over the ladies who interested themselves in the ’45. Even the prince’s “bonnie young Flora” is represented in one portrait as a simpering person after the style of the old “books of beau ty,” while in another she appears nearer like the typical highland las sie she presumably was. And what about Bums? The point I wish to make, J. Cuthbert Hadden writes in Scribner’s, is that the old portrait painters are not to be depended on for strict fidelity to their originals. The mere fact that they , differ so much in their repre sentations "of the same subject is enough to prove it. In regard to Burns, the question beaTs a twofold aspect. Not only do the portraits of the poet disagree with one an other, but even that which, by its frequent reproduction, has tacitly been accepted as the truer represen tation cannot have been exactly like him when it was done. I refer, of course,, to the familiar Nasmyth head and bust, painted in 1787, when Burns was carrying all before him on his first visit to Edinburgh. - THE ONE EXCEPTION I Bones—I admit I’m out for money all the time.

A bill to prohibit opium poppy growing in the Russian far east has been introduced in the duma and in formation on the industry is being collected, says a Vladivostok dispatch to the New York Sun. Poppy culture was introduced into the IJssuri district by Chinese before this region became Eussian territory. In 1907 the Eussian consul at Che- foo reported the export of opium from the Maritime province to China as 7,323 pounds and in later years shipments have increased. Climatic conditions in the ITssuri district are favorable to poppy, grow ing and three varieties, are cultivated —a white poppy with white seeds and capsules; a poppy with blue and gray seeds and open copsules. The first-mentioned variety is grown for opium production and the two others for oil. Poppy culture is entirely in the hands of the Chinese, who pay high rents to the peasant land owners, this freeing them from the necessity of working, which has injurious re sults. Although poppy culture ex hausts the soil, the Chinese use the land after the poppy harvest for raising vegetables, and in this way entirely spoil the fields in a short time. Poppy culture also hurts api culture, the productiveness of the hive falling off 75 per cent. Since the employment of yellow labor on government works was re stricted in 1910 a large number of Chinese have gone to the villages and the interior to raise poppies, and the area under cultivation in ,the coast region has risen from 826 acres in 1910 to 9,450 acres in ISIS. The rental an acre has-also increased from $9.45 to $38.15, to which must be added the cost of guarding the lands from the hunghuses or bandits, who are attracted to the opium re gions. The high rents paid induce the Eussian owners to lease the best of their lands for poppy growing and the area under grain is thereby be ing decreased. Shoe Now on the Other Foot.

F o r s a t e b y all d e a l e r s Gilliam Grissom. Wednesday Mr. Gilliam Gris som, of Leaksville, was in Greenj boro on his way to Baleigh to at tend the Republican Btate conven tion. We had a talk with Mr. Griseom and it is bnt fair to say of him that he is not a pie hunter. When Morehead was in Congress and next to the powers that were, Grissom could have gotten a whole pie if ha had wanted it. We know this to be a fact. Aod when we recall that' Mr. Grissom’s father was threatened with assassination by the K u Klux in the early and dark days; when we recall that in all the pears Mr. Grisson has been a true blue ribbon Eepubliean, we do not blame him for his zeal in wanting to get his party back to the earth. Mr. Grissom was the original Eoosevelt man in the State —but when Teddy wanted to have a new party Mf. Grissom couldn’t go with him —and that was the parting of the ways. But if Teddy would abandon the Moose end of it and declare that he was the only true Bepublican leater ,Mr. Gris-; gom would, ag iin be nmier his flag, and march with him to the end. But to desert the party be loves — Mr. Grissom will never do that —Fairbrother's Everything. StopThatFirstFallCough.
