IV ■' NUMBER 29 NOT ASJECORDED I Mr. Wilson Makes Absurd Claims I for Party. 'Achievements for Which He Asks C r e d it Shown to Belong to the Republicans — Long List of Progressive Measures. I It we were devotedly attached to the Democratic party, as we certainly are not. if we thought the Republican party was all wickedness and sin, as we certainly do not, we think we still should bo able to see plain facts to which Mr. Wilson, both as a politician and a historian, is blind, declares the Nevr York Press. Did Mr. Wilson's Democratic party in the less than two years it has had possession of the government estab lish the national control of railway rates, or did some other party, years before Mr. IVilson went to the White House? Did Mr. Wilson's Democratic party enact the antitrust laws after March .4,1913, or did some other party do that work years before that date? Did Mr. Wilson's Democratic party stop railroad rebating, take combina tions in restraint of trade into court and break up such monopolies, or was this work begun and to ail intents and purposes finished before Mr. Wilson, at least in his present official capacity, ever saw or dreamed of the White House? Did Mr. Wilson’s Democratic party set up and put into operation the policy of conserving the resources of the United States, or was this achievement put into full swing two whole presidential terms before Mr. Wilson was elected to the chief mag* istracy of this nation? IMd ’Ir. Wilson’s Democratic party ;in the last twenty-odd months acquire the Panama strip, plan the canal across the isthmus, provide $350,000,000 for the work and build it, or did two previous administrations perform that feat, leaving it to Mr. 'Wilson’s admin istration to open the lock gates after the work was done? Theve may be a difference of opin ion among honest men as to whether the Republican party did a good thing or a bad thing when it took, so progres sive a course as to establish control of railway rates; but there* can be no' difference of opinion as to. the facl that it was the Republican party which did It. The same thing is true of all the other progressive measures we have mentioned. Whether they were the wisest things in the world or not, they were Republican achievements, every one of them; and all the Democratic party has had to do with those pro gressive measures Ii b s been to admin ister them after they were ,brought into existence and operation, by the Republican party. One Democratic Term Enough. Governor Colquitt of Texas in blunt ly declaring the failure of the Wilson administration is only expressing what plenty of other Democrats are thinking. It is the truth that has dawned .upon the party since the late election. The glamour which enveloped the president’s leadership of the party was largely, if not completely, dissi pated when the election demonstrated that the policies which he forced upon congress were not acceptable to the country. The country has’ given very im pressive notice that one term of a Democratic administration is as much as it cares for, and while the president has managed to avoid any indorsement of the one-term plank of the last Dem ocratic national platform, the /people are likely to see to it that it is made a reality in this instance. Hope Lies In 1916. Business is on the mend. The Eu ropean war will help some, and the in crease in rates of transportation for railways will have a stimulating effect, bill a full measure of relief and a com plete; restoration of indvistrial pros perity can only be assured by a com- Plete-change in the economic policy w the government. This will come in ■1916. ■' Intimations of a Content. Nobody will be surprised! to hear to?i “ CIark boo,n to beat President j Hson in 1D16 is about to be started all over the country.

The debate was sup plemented by the audience’s vote on the subject, which favorably voted for a State-wide levy on dogs, the decision standing 22 to 16. The debate on the insistent, ever- recurring theme produced an ef fective array of fasts and figures on both sides of the argument. The enactment of such a State wide law would yearly reinforce the coffers of the educational fund 875,000—levying only 50 cents or 81 on each dog. The estimated supply of dogs in the State was placed at 150,000. The effective, revenue-deriving dog law of Virginia was the basis around which most of the affirma tive argument was woven. Vir ginia repudiated the dog tax of tssessmeut-oounty by county, after repeated failures, and adopted the jtate wide system. The revenue trom this tax nets annually to the school system of the State 890,000, alter an allowance for all sheep, silled and cost of collecting the tax. Sjmilar laws in South Caro lina and Bhode Island, nets each State, respectively, 860,000 and 830,000. Indiana derives 8101,000 from a similar tax. Figures tabulated from twenty North Carolina eonntiea imposing i dog tax, exhibited the fact that iVake county receives the highest revenue—8515 yearly. On a I o w county, levying 81, receives the iewe.-t returns. The recent. Sgita tton, which? assumed State-wade proportions, relative te the county dog tax enacted by Representative George Pickard of Orange conuty brought forth the startling an uouncement that the county eom inissioners, at a single meeting, uonored bills for cur-slain mutton to the amount of 8276.50. The rate of 8200 a month for sheep' kill ing dogs by a single county was staggering, to say the least. > ' The oppokiDg side of the proposed State wide tax, produced argumeot to indicate that the failure of the county system for collection of a dog tax in the State would signify the eventual failure of a State-wide system. .The burden of the tax would disproportioualy be levied on the poor man. ThefSrmef who owns a dozen fox, opossum, rabbit and coon. dogs would: share the burden of the 875,000 collected for the public school aystein—hence the inquity of a State levy. The opposition was convinced that the masses disfavored such a law, and that the wishes of the majority should prevail. The report of Sheriff B. D. Bain of Orange coun-i ty, after the enactment of the dog law, showed a falling off of 323 dogs listed on the books in com parison with the previous year —thus testifying to the tendency of disregarding the requirement to list, actual number owned. Tbedebate was. conducted by students of the University. E. B. House, of Halifax county, and Marion Fowler, of Durham county, upheld the'affirmative; 0. 8. Har is, of Montgomery couBty, and S. C.

Martin, of Louisi ana, who was elected to the next Gongnss from the third district ef that state on the ProgressiWtioket, is in Washington as a delegate to the rivers and harbors convention. J udge Martin up to the last election had bees a life long Democrat. He had been elected district judge oh the Demeeratie ticket and a Wilson delegate to the Balimore conven tion. In a statement which be gave to the press Judge MartiB said: I find it to be the general im pression in Washington that my election in the third district of Louisiana was-due solely to a de sire ©a the part of our* people to show their resentmept at the treat ment accorded them by this admin istration. We donot resent the fact that this administration, though pledged by its platform not to reduce the tariff as to injure or destroy any legltimateiudnstry has notwithstanding its pledge, sought the destruction of our greatest in dustry by entirely removing the duty upon sugar, and has threaten ed the cxistecce of other industries by materially reducing ' the duty upon rice, corn and lumber. Theiaet that our peopls are continuing to plant sdgar cane and rice is owing- to the small advance in price of these products, due to the effects of the European war. These industries are living today not beeause of anything this ad ministration has done for us, but in spite of all it has done against us. Our people are protectionists in prisgiple^iid feel that thcy can no loHger affiliate with a party that for the second time has lost no opportunity to strikes blow at the industries of the South. Wc forgave the Demeeratie party when during the Cleveland admin istration our industries were threat ened, and we had hoped for better and fairer treatment at the bauds of this administration which was under solemn platform pledges net to injure or destroy as; but when this administration regardless of promises and platform pledges, sought by adverse legislation the destruction ef an industry in which millions are* invested and upon which hundreds of thousands de pend for a living our people con cluded that the time had come to Imye the party that had deserted and abandoned them, and t join a party that held out some hope for the future. After saying he was' a delegate to the Baltimore convention and supported Wilson, Judge Martin •ays: When Mr. Wilson received the nomination and agreed to run upon the platform that pledged the party not to injure or destroy any legiti mate industry, I felt our industries were safe and that the party would live up to its pledges, but when this administration undertood. to disregard its platform wnich Presi dent Wilson said was not molasses to catch flies aod sought to legislate our industries out of existence the people of my district, an over whelming majority of whom were lifelong Democrats, felt that, this was the Iaat straw, and in toe face of the opposition of national, state and parochial administratibns, and in the face of a hostile prese elected a progressive0 protectionist by a safe and large majority. No one who does, not live in Louistena can realize the conditions that were brought about in my State by the ruinous effects of the Underwood bill. Many of our sugar mills have been dismantled and. the of unemployed’is wppa the-increse; Out Bkilled labor is seeking other fields of emplyment; our people In desperation have been teaching put and searching for come industry to take the place ef these which the Democnrie party has 'sought to deetory. We are now hoping that the effect of the Europeas war will enable them to survive the ruinous effects of the Underwood bill until there is; a change of administration. —Ex. y Sipu of As Early Spring.

One of the saddest results ef re cent tariff legislation is the des truction te a large extent ef the sugar intereta i n Louisiana and the driving of the industry from that state to foreign countries. Mil- liken & Farwell of New Orleans, Tlvee Rriritb Vessels SnL Berlin, Jan. 27,—Contrary to the British report that in the naval fight in the North Sea last Sunday no British ships were lost and that the pursuit of the German ships was finally abandoned on account of the German mines and submarines, the German government today issued an official statement saying that one whobad a sugar mill on their British battle-cruiser and two Brit- Stanton plantations, writes the MaBufaetnresBecord that, oving to the tariff bill, they removed it to Spanish Honduras, and that the first year’s grinding at Hon duras, will be about 3,000 acres of cane. And yet the government is im posing a war tax in time ef peace when it could obtain the nessary revenue by a tax on imports, of which sugar is a shining example. If a epacial tax were placed on su gar, with the assurance of a pro tective tax to be continued after May 1,1916, when the present tax automatically ceases, this industry could be revived to the great pro fit ef Louisiana and the whole coun try, piodueers and consumers alike. YOt among the men who joined in destroying the sugar industry ef Louisiana have been seme who have vociferously clamored to do wholly impracticable and unconsti tutional things in the way of pro tection to cotton.

Grandpa Wilson has taken the tax off the foreigner and put it on the American citizen. That may be ail right, but it is going to be a big job to make the American voter see it that way next year. Those ef our citizens who are in favor of a dog tax for Daviecounty, should write to Representative T. J. Hendricks, Raleigh, N. C., at once. Mr. Hendricks says he will have such a law passed for Davie if the people want it Dethim know what you think about, the matter. As a result of Democratic pros perity. four newspapers in Robeson county have suspended publication Within the past six months. We supposethey were all Democratic papers. They have no one to blame but themselves, as they got just what they voted for. Just after President Wilson was inaugurated he said that he did not propose to have a panic—that the first man'who yelled hard times would be jailed. Should he carry out his promises and jail all those who yell panic, there would not be enough men {eft on the outside to conduct a first-class funeral in this section. ; The newly built roads in the eoun- ty have been hit mighty hard by the bad weather.1 There has been but ten daysiif sunshine since the 26th day of November.

If the Presidential election was scheduled fey next Tuesday there would net be enough Democratic votes cast to pay a man to count them.

" ‘Brother’ Sheek is dead,” was the sad message that spread - over Mocksvilie late Sunday evening and caused sadness throughout the en tire town. Mr. Sheek had been ill but a few days and no one thought that his sickness was unto death. Blood poison, resulting from a Imil or carbuncle, was the cause of death. Spencer was about 21 years ef age, and leaves a wife, mother, several brothers and sisters, besides a host of relatives and frieads throughout the community. The funeral was conducted by Rev. R. M, Hoyle, pas tor of the Methodist church, on Monday afternoon, after which the body was laid to rest at Joppaceme tery by the side of an infant son, who died abqrat two months ago The grief-stricken wife has the sym pathy of the entire town in this sad (hour.

CLICK. Hickory, N. C.. Jan. 29, 1915. Our friend, J.L . Fester," of tho classic shades of Ceitnty Lino, was W our midst Moutiay ssd pretested USWithafregskit'. AAfiIa Meeting. Editor Record:—There are several matters of importance to our peo ple likely to be considered by the present legislatnre, . and I would suggest that the people begin to discuss them among themselves, and that on Monday, Fdbniary 22nd, court week, we meet in the court house when court adjourns foF din ner, and discuss and try to agree on these matters and ask the legisla ture to give us what the people want. Amongthe questions being discussed is the taxiog of dogs, abolishing one term of our court, amending the road law so as to give the people the authority to elect a bi-partisan board of road commiss ioners, and also abolishing the office of county treasurer either at the expiration of one year or the term of the present Treasurer. The banks in Moore Coqnty act as disbursing agents for the county, and pay the county as much as 2 per cent, on all balances which amounts to saving all the expense of the office and pay ing the county a bonus as interest. Davie county’s bended indebtedness today is two hundred’ and fifteen thousand dollars, and wedon’tkhow bow much mere it owes; and if there ever was a time when economy was needed it is now. The taxrate for 1914 was $1.06 on the hundred dol lars, and if all the public roads in the county are to be given a work ing like the ones already gone over, the rate will go to $3 per one hund red dollars, and then we will not have much roads, if the present ones are classed as "good roads.” Onthedog tax question I would make this as a suggestion. A tax of one dollar on all males and two dollars on all female dogs, and sub mit the question to the voters at the 1916 election. Other questions may be up for discussion not men tioned in this letter. So let the peo ple get together in their townships and precincts if they can, ’ and talk these matters over and como out to Mocksvilie Monday, Feb. 22nd. and let’s discuss them then and decide upon what is best to be done. .An other matter I overlooked id the auditing of county officers books. If the taxpayers of the county will read the county exhibit. they; will see that a thorough auditing is ab solutely necessary if the people are to know where and how their money is being spent. As an illustration I call your attention to the financial condition of Davie county for the year ending Dec. I, 1914, which shows that the County Treasurer received as cemmistiens only one hundred and fifteen dollars and eighty-eight cents, ($115.88). Come out and confer together. Let the people have a say.

A-searching In vestigation'into toe needs of toe farmers wiU reveal many Inherent de fects. In our economic system that can be easily remedied when properly un derstood and- illuminated by the pow er of-.the 'press. The rural, press, the pulpit and the school are 'Sitrinity of powerful in fluences that toe farmer must utilize to their fullest'capacity before he can occdpy a commanding position In pub lic affairs. These gigantic agencies are organised in every rural' community and only await the patraiage and co operation of-toe farmers ;to fully de velop their: energy and'-usefulness. Tbey are local forces, working for toe best Interests of their respective communities.’ Their work is to build and their object is. to serve. They prosper only through the development and prosperity of the community. Eivery farmer In this state should subscribe for toe local-' paper, as well as farm periodicals and sudh other publications- Pb he may And profitable, but he should jhy all means subscribe for his local paper,' and no home should be without it The local paper is part of the community life and tbe editor understands the farmer’s prob lems. It Ia the local press that will study toe local problems and through its columns deal with subjects of most vital importance to local life of the community. A Nnble Task. In too many/Instances the country papers mimic/the city press by giv ing promlnence to scandals, accidents and political agitation. The new rural civilization/has placed upon the rural press /restored responsibilities, sad enlarged poaslbltttles dor useful ness It candot' perform Its mission to agrlenltnM by recording' toe frail ties, the ml/haps and inordinate am bitions of Kbmsulty,. or by filling its columns into the echoes of the strug- glee of bn/iy streets, Pr by enchanting stories gt city life which lure our chlldren,Tromthefamn.

Too olien the 'pageaof the city dallies bristle'with toe atruggie of ambitious men ,In toelr wUd hist for power, and many times- the flames of personal conflict sear-toe tender buds of new oivlllsbtlon and illuminate the path way'to destruction.

The:Fourer of Advertising, The InihiBhce of advertising is dear ly visible In'the homes and habits of the tannero, -and toe advertising col umns of tbs. prehs are mah-ing their Imprint upon the lives of our people. The farmer poaseuses the things that are best advertised. The farmer Isi entitled to all the advantages and dewrves all toe Iux- uriea of life. We need more art, sci ence and useful; facilities on toe farms, shd many homes and farms are well balanced In this respect, but the advertiser con render s service by teaching the advantages of modern equipment throughout the columns of toe rural press. The farmers are In need of personal leadership. They have political lead ers,. but they need local industrial community and educational leaders.

Some of It is. We have known men who went wonderfully polite to strangers who at home allowed their wives to cut the wood, haul tbe water and har ness the horse. But there are others. In our courts of justice .a woman has always bad a better ebanee than a man. Pablie senti ment would not tolerate a judge or jury to deal harobly wi»u a woman. Shebas been well nigh exempt from all kinds of legal punishment, and in civil eases tbe jury always gives her the benefit of tbe doubt. In the social life tbe woman has al ways had the advantage. - Tbe rudest of men lower their tone in tbe presence of a woman, and her tnfiuence in every company sub dues and softens the manner and bearing, of the men. A little girl violating a town ordinance is sent to her home; a boy of the same age is haled before the court. In a thousand ways tbe women have been shielded and protected by the community and their strongest de fense has been, net the courts, but the general sentiment of the public, that most powerful of all forces. Under the new conditions, when the women assume their share in tbe management of 'public affaire what about the guardianship they save enjoyed through all the years i j tbe power of public sentiment! (t is easy enough to sneer and saj that tbe women are perfectly abb to take care of themselves, but an they! Even granting that they ire able, are' they willing to meet be rough world on an equality with the men! If they take th« sweet they must also take tber bit ter. If they accept the privilege >f doing the work of the men the] iuust also shoulder his burden and. responsibility! And this loss of deference for the sex—that fine sense of all normal men to yield cheir own comfort for a woman—it 'hat worth anything! Bemember sister, you cannot eat your cake and keep it too. Women at the ballot box will not command the same respect as when they are in their natural and proper sphere. They cannot expect it and z they must not be disappointed when they find they have lost it. - Who feels the least respect for an Eng Iish suffragette! And while our women, please God, will never go so far as that, they will in; l«ss proportion lose that fine considera tion and respect that is now : resi dent in the breast of every v/nan not a positive brute.

RESTORE DUTY ON SUGAR Necessity for Action Apparent in View of the-Condition of the Coun- ! try’s Finances. ^ The revenue from'the sugar .duty was..about 560,000,000 a..year.' With the duty removed ^ \h6~*j«Qiri»e ' tax was substituted- for. - .the purpose of. raising revenue for the., government. The income tax fails to .produce the revenue, required, and -there is- a de ficit of $65,010,000: .The war. tax is added to the burdens of the people and still the-deficit remains. It Isnow proposed to keep the war tax on until peace is restored in Europe—an in definite and probably a -long time. Prom present prospects. the war will Iaet until after May I; 1916,' the date when the United States Is to cut off its revenue from the sugar duty. Thus, when the government most needs funds, it is cutting down its revenue from the tariff- and increasing the di rect taxes-of-the people. . One- of the bbvldus-things to do,' .if congress-wishes to relieve the people from taxation and at the same time.to stimulate trade, is to-repeal the law Wiiich will,place sugar on the free list next year. Let the old duty be re stored. Th* people wiH pay no- more for sugar, 'while'the government will get more revenue. • Siire to Turn to Republican*. The.. Democratic faults are growing graver .ev.ery day. The leaders have desperately: tried., every resource to save- tfieir party from being over whelmed. But even the announced tour of the president to explain away the apparent desperation of the Demo crats could not ppssibly alter the .pull of political gravity that' Is working with Increasing force to bring the Democrats to destruction.

There is sometimes an at' tacbment with a man that would make it as unsafe to hit his dog as himself. Looking at the matter from every angle I think a light tax on the present dogs and a heavy license tax on all that are bought after a certain , time, say $15 ea all females and $5 on males woald be better.' It would bring about dogs of breeding and worth instead o< calling everything that has a leg at each corner and a bark a dog. PENCIL PUSHER. Calahalu Township. Aastkcr KU, By Jiags.

Bnt thsrecao be no doubt that we aeed.some kind of law -for the dog, as to what kind I will leave to wiser heads. 8neh a Jaw is coming some- time. The .foot that some people Oppose snob law is no proof that it is not needed.: It isthecaM in every new step that is taken, some one will oppose it.: Thestrangepart ot it is-that intelligent people need a law that will reduce the number of worth- Iess dogs. It appears hardly fair to tax a man’s hog and not his dog, and oo the other hand if appears bisrdly iair to tax his dog as much as his horse, which would berths caro if they were taxed $2 per head.

Take 4 spoonful to- iught and if it doesn't straighten yon right up and make you feel fine and Tigbrous by morning I want you to go back to the store and get your monsy.

By Petar Radford LecturerNatlonal Farmers' CTnlon Tlie farmer='Je the paymaster of industry and as such he must meet the nation's payroll. When industry pays its bill it must make a sight draft upon agriculture for the amount, which the'farmer is compelled to honor without protest: This check drawn upon: agriculture may travel .to and fro over'the highways of com. merce; inay build cities; , girdle the globe with bands of steel; may search hidden treasures In the earth or traverse the skies, bat. In the end It Will test upon the soil. Nodollar will remain suspended In midair; it Is as certain'to seek the earth’s surface as an apple that falls Crom a tree. When a farmer buys aplow he pays the man who mined the metal, the woodman who felled Uie tree, the manufacturer'who assembled the raw material and shaped It into ah ar ticle of usefulness, the railroad that transported It and the dealer who sold him the goods. He pays the wages of labor and capital employed In the transaction as well as pays for the tools, machinery, buildings, etc., used In the construction of the commodity and the same applies to all articles of use and diet of him self and those engaged In the sub sidiary lines of industry. There Isrho payroll In civilisation that does not rest upon the back of the farmer. He must pay the bills —all of them. The total value of-the nation’s annual agricultural products Is around $12,000,000,000, and it Is safe to esti mate that 96 cents on every dollar goes to meeting the expenses of sub sidiary industries. The farmer does not work more than thirty mlftutes per day for himself; the remaining thirteen hours of the day’s toll he devotes to meeting the payroll of the hired hands of agriculture, such as the manufacturer, railroad, commer cial and other servants. The Farmer’* Payroll and How He Meete IL The annual payroll, of agriculture approximates 112,000,000,000. A por tion of the amount Is'shifted to for eign countries In exports, but the total payroll of industries working for the farmer divides substantially as follows: Railroads, $1,252,000,000; manufacturers, $4,365,000,000; mining, $655,000,000; banks. $200,000,000; mercantile $3,600,000,000, and a heavy miscellaneous payroll -constitutes - the remainder. It takes the corn crop, the most valuable In agriculture, which sold Inst year for $1,692,000,000, to pay off the employes of the railroads; the money derived from our annua, sales of livestock of approximately $2,000,- 000,000, the yearly cotton crop, valued at $920,000,000; the wheat crop, which is worth $610,000,000, and the oat crop, that is worth $440,000,000, are required to- meet the annual pay roll of the manufacturers. The money derived from the remaining staple crops is used In meeting the payroll of the bankers, merchants, etc. After thene obligations are paid, the. farmer has only a few bunches of vegetables, some fruit and poultry which he can sell and call the pro ceeds his oWn. When the farmer pays off Hs help he: has vety little left and to meet these tremendous payrolls he has been forced to mortgage homes, work women _ In the Held and increase the hours of bis labor. We are, there fore, compelled to. call upon all in dustries dependent upon the farmers for subsistence to retrench In their expenditures and to cut off . all un necessary expenses. This course is absolutely necessary in order to avoid a reduction In wages, and we want, if possible, to retain the present wage scale paid railroad and all other industrial employes. We will devote this article to a discussion of unnecessary expenses and whether required by law or per mitted by the managements of the concerns, is wholly immaterial.

Union Opposss ”Full Cr«w” BIIL Tl)* Teigl -'Farmers’ Union regis tered Its <£gpoe|tion to this character Cf leglslatrOR at the last annual meet- lIng held la Fort Worth, Tes., August 4,1914, by resolution, which we quotes .as follows:'.- ■ ■ . * - uThe matter of-prima Importance .to the toraadn of this stale I* an ade quate and etnMnt BtarliMng system;, and we recuaa&e that such a' system .Is ImposalMc^wia^ut edeguete fail- roaffSamiM, effiWsaarthb Irtrfeet amount of service at the least possible cost We further recognise that the farmers and producers in the enil pay BpproxlmatebrViS per. cent of the expenses of .operating the railroads, and it is therefore to the interest of the producers -that the expenses of the common . carriers be «ssmall as ft possible, consistent with good ser vice and safety. We, therefore, call upon our law-makers, courts and Juries to bear the foregoing facts In mind when dealing with the common carriers of this state, and we do espe cially reaffirm^ the declarations of the last annual convention of our: State Union, opposing the-passage of. the so-called ‘full-crew’ bill before the thirty-third legislature of Texas.” The farmers'ot Missouri in the last election, by an overwhelming ma jority, swept, this law off the statute book of that state, and it should come off of-all statute books where it appears and no legislature of this, nation should pass such a law or similar legislation which requires un necessary expenditures.The same-rule applies to all regu latory measures which increase the expenses of:industry without giving corresponding benefits to the public- There is ofttlmes a body of men as sembled at legislatures—end they hove a right to be there—who, in their seal for rendering their fellow- associates a service, sometimes favor an increase In the expenses of in dustry without due regard for the men who bow their backs to the summer’s sun to meet the payroll, but these committees, while making a record tor themselves, rub the. skin off the shoulders of the fanner by urging the legislature to lay another burden upon-bis heavy load and under the Iash of “be it enacted” goad him on to pull and surge atthetraces of civil ization, no matter how he may sweat, foam and gall at the task.. When legislatures “cut a melon" for labov they hand the tanner a lemon. The farmers of the United States are not financially able to carry “dead heads” on their payrolls. Our’ own hired hands are. not paid unlesS we have something for them to do. and we are not willing to carry the hired help of dependent industries unless there is work for them. We must therefore insist upon- the most rigid economy. Legislative HousoCteanIng Needed. While the war is on and there is a lull In business, we want all legisla tive bodies to take an Inventory of the statute books and wipe off all extravagant and useless laws. A good house-cleaning is needed and economies can be instituted here and there that 8111 patch the elothes'ot indigent children, rest. tired mothers 'and lift mortgages from despondent homes. Unnecessary workmen taken off and useless expenses .chopped down all along the line, will add to. the pros perity ' of the farmer and - encourage him In Hs mighty effort to feed and clothe the world. If any of these Industries have sur plus employes we can use them on the farm. We have no regular schedule of wages, but we pay good farm hands on an average of $1.60 per day of thirteen hours when they board themselves; work usually,runs about nine months of the year and the three months dead time, , they can do the chores for their board. It they prefer to farm on-their own account there are more than 14,000,000,000 acres of ldle_tead on the earth’s sur-:> face awaiting^ the magic-touch of the plow. The compensation is easily ob tainable from Federal Agricultural Department statistics, Tho total average annual sates of a farm in the continental UnltedUtates amounts to $516.00; the cost-of operation-is $340.00; leaving the farmer $176 per annum to live on and educate his family. ■ • - There is no occasion for the legis latures making a position for surplus employes of industry. Let them come “back to the soil” and share with us the prosperity of the farm. Th*. WaatainfftOD auth o ri t ies hive started an investigation into the’high price ef wheat and other fpod etuffs.

FEBRUARY 17, 1915 NUMKR 31 Tl Democrats Are Victims of “Spellbinder” Promises. Spectacle of the'Chief Maglitrate of the Nation on the 8tump Ia Net an Edifying One—Will Net Help Party. Now that the president has taken the stump, and inaugurated hie cam paign for a second term after the ctump fashion—putting things breezily and extravagantly—It Is well to note some of the evils of that position. They are numerous, and do much harm. After national platforms have been adopted, parties send spellbinders through the country to Interpret them and pledge their employers. The Quali fications for such agents and repre sentatives are not information, care ful statement and conscientious re gard for tbe public welfare, but glib- uesB, hearty persuasiveness and a de sire to secure votes. Often a spell binder’s amount of Information Is In Inverse ratio to the number of his ad jectives. Sometimes a rich vocabulary covers a multitude of intellectual de ficiencies. As a result, all sorts of misleading statements are put out, consciously or unconsciously. Parties are pledged be yond the power of redemption; and the successful party soon finds Itself In trouble, and charged with breaking faith. The Democracy's present difficulties grow out of reckless and irresponsible stumping. It« spellbinders who talked tariff In 1812 either did not know their subject, or did not care what they said. Afen who charged the high cost of living to the policy of protection were either Ignorant or insincere. Likewise as,to economy. Thelcharge that three Uundred^mllllons a year were being \»aste<3, and could be saved In the government’s expense account, never had % leg to stand on; and tbe men who made tt either had not In vestigated the matter. Of were willing totuse' the: charge "ds X,good' eriflttgh" Morgan until after the election.” ’For Illustration as to the effect of such a proceeding on a party employ* Ing It, let UB take the case of a busi ness man—<a manufacturer, say, on a large scate—who should send “drum mers” out In every direction, misrep resenting not only conditions of trade, but his ability to fill orders. How long would be' thrive? Who wouid give him a second order after being de ceived about the first? When It was discovered that he could not fill his orders at all, or that his goods did not come up to sample, what would his credit be worth? That is the position of the Democratic party. The Mexican Somersault. The more the president explains his Mexican policy, the thicker is the mud dle he makeB of it. The latest ex planation, given out at Indianapolis, differs absolutely from every Justifi cation offered before. Formerly the president was busy inventing excuses for having gone into Mexico. Now he turns In his traoks and seeks only •n excuse for getting out and staying out.... It is well that the old futilities should have gone by the board. But It will hardly be sufficient for the president to replace them with the cold-blooded attitude of a mere ob server of blood-letting across the bor der. There are legitimate American Interests in Mexico to be protected, as well as interests of other nationals, toward ,whom wo are bound to assume a guardianship isnder our own inter* prstatlon of the Monroe doctrine. No Time for Extravagance. If congress had held to the idea of trying to .redeem Its solemn pledge of economy, the regular revenues of the government would have been sufficient to meet this year's expenditure. As to whether the conspicuous legislation enacted by this congress will be bene-' Jlclsl or j harmful there is, of course, much controversy; but there can be nif controversy about the tact that you "must bear additional taxation.. The war brlngs an extraordinary situ ation, 'with special need to husband; our refcQurces and with special de-; mands On our charity.

The following description ef this N. & W. giant is furnished by a railroad man who knows whereof he speaks and has made several tripB on this real “largest locomo tive in the world.” “It has live acres of grate bars and four acres of netting in the smoke box. It takes a man a day and a half to walk throngh one of its cylinders. It has an elevator running np to tbe headlight and it takes ten barrels of oil to fill it. It takes two men 45 minutes to light one signal light, and it took 15 carpenters niue months to build her pilot. “The railroad has a steam shovel to give her oeal. The tender holds 97 earloads. Every time she. ex- aansts it rains for 35 mlnntss, aid the people in Bichmond raise urn- orellas. “The engineer uses a searchlight to leokoat for signals, Md goes olind alter six months in the cab. U takes two astronomers with pow erful telescopes to see her going. The pony wheels are the size of a monster turntable, and a section of he Atlantic eable is used for the oell cord. It takes 42 hours for a spark from her smekstaek to fall, and it is a meteor when it strikes ,he earth. When the whistle blows it causes an epidemic of deafness in Henrico eoaa^..apd/.«ll^^e ligbls in Bichmond ~«r«r Oitlfcgu- ished. “Monster trees fall when- this engine passes on her way to and from lloanoke. 'She covers the distance, 268 miles, in 30 minutes, making her tannels as she goes. “She hauls 1,743 cars and the roundhouse force* at Lamtierte Pointe hold their annaal picnic in her lire box every summer. When they wash her boiler, it is necessary to drain the Elisabeth river. She carries 1,860 pounds of steam pres* sure and 940 pounds of air# The throttle is palled by a stationary engiue in the eab. The lubricator bolds 14 barrels of oil. When she leaves the rails there is an earth quake in Panama ioar days later. “This train goes so fast, when she stops she is still making 10 miles an hour. Theglare of the headlight can be seen through • hill half a mile thick. When ehe takes water she dries the eity lakes, and lowers the level ef the river several feet.

Did you ever thiak how eold it would be for the rural earrier to take off bia wrape and glovee and pick email coins out of your mail boxf Tbe law does not require carriers, to take pennies from box. He carries for the pat rons a supply of stamps, cards and stamped envelopee, ao that the pa trone may buy in sufficient quanti ties to enable them to stamp all mail before it is left ia tbe box. “Second—Isyour box well lo cated?

A money sharper advertised a “sore insect exterminator.” On receipt of fifty cents he sent the following direction: “Get the in- sactato smoke cigarettes.” Cig- arette-smokiag iajores our boys physically, meotally, aad morally; therefore the cigarette must be ex terminated. Boys imitate men. They see big men smoking cigars, aad they imitate them by smoking littlecigars—cigarettes. Boyaand their parents should know the facte about cigarettes. Let us call some witnesses. Connie Mack, the gentlemanly baseball player, says: “ We find that those players who smoke cig arettes never amount to a great deal in the profession. It is ray candid opinion, and I have watched very closely the last dozen yews or mote, that boys at the age of ten to fifteen who have continued smok ing cigarettes do not, as a rule, amouat to anything. They are unfitted in every way-for any kind of work wbere brains are needed.” To succeed on the track or diamond or river » boy must cnt out cig arettes. Cigarette-emokiag blacklists the boy who Bceke employment. Luther Burbank will not employ any one who smokes cigarettes, because the. habit disqualifies him for the deli cate work of cultivating and train . ing plants. Thomna A. Edison, tbe great inventor, says: “No man or boy who smoke, cigarettes can work in my laboratory.” The head of a great railway system said: “Cigarette smokers are un safe.” The Western Eleetic Com-u pany empJoya fiiteeu.hundred poo-' pie. Three hundred are college graduates. This company will net employ cigarette smokers because . the use of cigarettes clonds the intellect. Highest level motives put tbe fire out of the eigarette. Prof. H. W . Fisk, of the Preparatory school ef tbe Northwestern University, has announced to his students that they must quit eigarette smoking er leave tbe school. Hehasstndied . the habit carefully and finds that» large per ccnt of eigarette smokers lose the power of study altogether. William H. Maxwell, City Sup erintendent of Schools, New York City, says: “I have fonnd that . oigarette smoking is one of tbe worst habits a growing boy can acquire. It hinders his growth, it retards his intellectual develop ment, and, worst of ail, it weukena his will and thus renders him less capable of resisting temptation to evil courses. Nearly all incorrigi ble truants are eigarette smokers.” A Dog Tax. An effort will be- made in the legislature to enact a State- wide dog tax law. Several legislatures have tried it. So far as we remem ber, it has never been a plank iu the platforms or made an issue oa tbe stamp. It is a kind ef a legis lature ncot egg.

The Forsytii-Davie steel bridge across the Yadkin river on the State Highway will be completed this month if the weather is at all favor able. Thehighway from Winston to Statesville will be completed this spring. Davie has about completed her part of the read. Turner, the little 8-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. N. T. Foster, of this city, died TbnriBday morning, death resulting from pneumonia and men ingitis. The burial took place at Rose cemetery Friday. Three of Mr. Foster’s children have been very ill for some time. The grief-stricken parents have the sympathy of tbe town and community in their sore affliction. Mrs. Elizabeth Gedbey, aged a- bout 85 years,died at the - home of her daughter, Mrs. Dock Creason, on Route 2, Wednesday, and was buried at Center church Thursday afternoon at3o’6iock. Mrs-Godbey was’ a- member of the Methodist church. Two brothers and several daughters survive. Mrs. Godbey was a good woman and has gone to her reward. The Record extends sympathy to the bereaved relatives. The question as to which wqy the GwernaieBt post road shall ran from the Davie liiie to Statesville, is to be settled by the ^overnment and. the, Iredell Uounty engineers. Therehas been much delay causedon account of there being two routes with a number of citizens pulling for each route. The Record hopes that' the route will be selected'at once and the read completed, so that Mocksville and Statesville ryill be drawn closer together. , Davie’s part of the Gov ernment post road is practically com pleted, with .the exception of one or two short links.I1,-'Card of Thulu. |We wish to thank our friends through, T^e Record for their -faithful service to us during the sickness and death of our little boy Turner.

By Peter Radford. .Lecturer National Farmer*’ Union. I The recent action of the Interstote i Commerce Cpmmieeion In granting an ' Increase In freight rates In the eastern : classification «f territory; the applica tion of the roads to state and inter- 1 state commissions for an Increase In I rates, and the,utterances of President ■I Wilson on1 the’ subject bring the farm- 1 era of this nation face to face with the !problem of an Increase In freight : rates. It Is-the policy of . the Farmers' Union to meet the issues affecting the welfare of: the farmers;squarely and '.we will doso ln this instance. 'The transportation facilities of the ’United States are insdequate to.ef fectively meet the demands of commerce and* particularly in the South and-West .'additional railway mileage is needed to accommodate the move- iment of farm products. If In the win dom of our . RaSroad Commissions an increase lnfreight rates; is necessary to bring about ah improvement In our transportation service, and an exten sion of oiir mileage, them an Increase 'should be granted, and' the fanner is willing to share such .proportion of the increase as justly belongs to-him, but we have some suggestions to make as to the manner In 'which this in crease shall be levied. ‘ Rates Follow Lines of Least Resist- ancei. The freight rates of the nation have been'built.up along lines of least resistance. The merchant, , the manu facturer, the, miner, the miUer, the lumbermahfand the cattleman have had their . .traffic bureaus thoroughly organised and ln nmny instances they have pursued the! railroad without mercy and=with the;power of organ ized tonnage they have hammered the life' out' of the/ rates and with unre strained greed they have eaten the vitals out of our transportation system and since we hzve had railnrad com missions, these/ interests, with skill and cunning, an© represented'at every hearing in which Uieir business is involved. f The farmer / is seldom represented at rate hearings, as his organizations 'have never iiad the finances to em ploy counsel to develop Mb side of % the case and,.as-a result,, the products of . the plow jbeax an unequal burden of Uie freight e&ehse. A glance at the freight/tariffs abundantly proves thjs assertion.- 'Cotton, the leading agrlcultuml product o. the South,'al- ready beers the highest freight-rate of aiiy necessary commodity in com- 'merce, and the- rate, on agricultural !products as a whole] is out of pro- ,portion with Umt of the products of the factory-and! the ndne. We offer ho..jschedude of rates, but hope the commission WiU be able’ to give the railroad sucbuan increase in rates as isnecessary without levying a further/toll -'upon the products of the plow. Thetuatanoe seems to pre sent an opportunity tn .the Railroad Commissions to equalize .the rates as between agricultural-and other classes of freight without disturbing the rates on staple.farm products./ What ls a Fahr Rate? We do, not/know whnt constitutes a basis for rate !making and have never heard, of Shiyone who did claim to know much-about IL bat if;the pros perity of the farm is a factor to be considered /and ’ the redlnoad commis sion Tconcludes' that an increase: In rates’is necessary, we woul^ !prefer that it com’e to us through articles of consumption-, on their- journey from the factory to the Harm. We would, for example, prefer that the rath on hogB: remain ae' at; present and \the rate on meat bear/the increase, Jor any farmer can them avoid the burden by raising his owrl meat, and a fann er who will not try to raise his oWn meat ought to-' be penalised. We think the rate on coal and brick cdra much better bear an increase thati the fate on cotton and flour. - Wd would prefer that the rate on plow* remain -the - same, - and machinery, - pianos and ,- such articles as the poor er-farmer/cannot hope to possess bear the burden of; increase. The increase in rates should be so arranged that ,the farmer who lives at home will 'bear. no. part of the bur-- den, but let; the farmkr who boards In other states Md countries and who feeds/his stock In lorelgn lands, pay the price of hla folly. RMUtMDStfKAL TD FRESHEN! Tto Common Carrlere Ask far Re- Ilef-S-FresIdent Wlleon Olrecto Attention of Pvbllc to Ttoir Needs. The committee of railroad execu tives, headed by Hr. Frank Trumbull, representing thirty-five of the leading railroad systems of ,the nation, recent ly presented to President Wilson a memorandum briefly reviewing the dif ficulties now* confronting the railroads of the country ihd asking for the co- OperatibnyOt UiOgovenunentaI authori ties and the public In supporting railroad credits and! recognbdngan emer gency which'requires that" the rail roads be given! additional revenues. The memorandum recites that the European war' has resulted in general depression of -business on the Ameri can continent Md in the dislocation of credits at home and abroad. With revenues decreasing Md interest rates Increasing 'the! transportaUon systems of the country face a most serious crisis and ! the memorandum is a strbng presentaUon of the candle burning at both ends and the perils that must ultimately attend such a conflagration when the flames meet is apparent to all. In their general discussion the railroad representor Uves say In part: “By reason of leg islation and regulation by the federal government M d the forty-eight states acting Independently of each other, as well as through the action of a strong public opinion, railroad expenses ; in recent years have vastly increased- No criUcism is here made of the gem eral theory of governmental regula tion, but on the' other hand, no in genuity c m relieve the carriers of ex penses created thereby/’ President Wilson, In transmitting the memorandum of the railroad presidents to the public, character izes it as “a lucid statement of plain truth.” The president recognizing the emergency as extraordinary, con tinuing/said In part: **Tou ask me to call the, attenUon of the country to the imperative need that railway credits be sustained and the railroads-helped in every possible way, whether by private co-operative effort or by the acUon, wherever feasible of governmental agencies, and I am glad to do so because -I think the need very real." The conference was certainly a fortunate one for the nation M d the president is to be congratulated for openlng the gate to a new world of effort in which/everyone may co-oper ate. , • There are -many important prob lems in our complex civilization that will yield to-cooperation which will not lend themselves to arbitrary rul ings of commissions and' financing railroads is One of them! The man witb the money is a factor.that can not be eliminated from any business transaction and the public is an inter ested party that should alwgys be con sulted and happily the president has invited all to participate In the solo- Uoa of our railroad problems.

That the struggle for existenes is harder today, and especially in this country, than it ever was. is indicated not only by the fight for supremacy ' between the • nations now at war but by our own Census Bureau’s statistics as to insanity. Dr. Joseph A, HiU in his recently issued report on insane institutions points out that in’ the !six years from 1904 to 1910 there was an in crease of twenty five per! ceBt. in the number of insane persons re ported, whereas during :the same period the total population in creased only twelve per! eent., or less than half as much ; In other words, twice the proportion of per- sOns were found to.be insane during that period than had - been found to be insane before. Dr. Hill ascribes the increase as in part due to “high living,” but witb that eause he couples the strain of competition in ;big cities. In this opinion Mr. Jv Madison Taver,of Pbiladelpbiai specialist on nervous diseases; Professor J. P. Licbteaberger of the- University of Pennsylvania, and Oscar Amering- er of Milwaukee, prominent as a spoialist, concur. The lesson from these statistics iacidently is that we are all living tee bard as well as too • high.

NOKTB CAROLINA. WEDNESDAY.'FEBRUARY 24. 1915 NUMBER 32 Somethiirg of a Surprise to Busi ness Interests. President'* Pote a* "Advance Agent of Prosperity” Must Be Backed With Proofs That He Will ■ Make Good. The, business men of the country will have some difficulty In recogniz ing President Wilson in the role of the "advance agent of prosperity,” bnt after a long and painful experience with him In quite another character they will probably be glad to see him acting for a while In this more pleas ing part . Business men will be delighted to hear that "prosperity is at our doors.” Undoubtedly it Is. And it is about time that it was encouraged to come. As the president evinces a dispo sition to “get together” with the busi ness interests of the country, with a view to dispelling causes of irritation and removing obstructions to pros perity, the business men might sug gest ah early conference with a view to removing the following hindrances to the development of better times: The antiprotective tariff, framed to encourage foreign manufacturers and hamper home industries. The fantastic sbip-purcbase bill, the object of which is to suppress the American merchant marine at the very moment when it has a chance to re-establish itself, and-replace, it with a government-owned marine. Inquisitorial and intrusive proceed ings In every field whatsoever where business interests touch the govern mental authority and the law-making power. With these things put aside, the country might hope to recognize Pres ident Wilson in time as an-encourager of prosperity. Why the Wat Taxf If the Democrat* had let. the tariff alone they- would have had no need to lay on the war tax. It was when tinkering with'' the tariff that they provided for the not too popular fed eral income tax, which has proved a fizzle so far as yielding enough to off set the falling off in customs re ceipts' is concerned. There was one way in which, despite .the gap between the falling off in customs and the receipts from the income tav, the treasury could have been pro tected from a deficit—by avoiding ex travagance In appropriations. Pru dence; in the expenditure of public moneys, moreover,. was a policy to which- the Democratic patty was com mitted by its platform. But the plat form was ignored. All thought of economy.was thrown to the winds. The recklessness with which the Dem ocrats voted away the people’s money equaled that with which they had hacked at the tariff schedules that were necessary for revenue. They are In disgrace with thinking voters be cause of the muddle which they have made of the country’s fiscal system. It is perfectly fair that- business-like Republicans like Britten sboUld spear at them now. and .then.. To Save or Not to Save. ' Frugality is made imperative by the condition of the treasury, saving at the expense of rural free delivery and the rivers and harbors appropriation would have to meet the adamantine opposition of the house. Yet, here is the administration, In .the presence of a portending'deficit that would bring it into disrepute. What to do is the question. A cool saving of 34 millions by abandoning the rivers and harbors would mean death to the hopes of many congressmen. who 'thrive upon this appropriation, besides causing ac tual detriment to communities that are' OeeervlUgiiOt better treatment,' The rural delivery proposition'of Secretary Burleson tO/ place the carriers upon a contract basis would be another big saving, but it is also unpopular... Saving is never the popular road. The Democrats cut deeply into -their resources by their tinkering of the tar iff. To save or not to save, is the ques tion, and upon'this issue-hangs the fate of personal ambition for congress men and perhaps the fate of the ad ministration itself- • Shows irritation, and Impatience. It is no' argument to say, as the president 'doeB, of the critics of the administration: “Some ;of them are misguided, Bome/qt them are blind, most of.’ them are Ignorant." He “would, rfltber pray for them than’ abuse them" he tells us. Why .doesn’t, W, then?-' ; < 'r : - The whole speech gives .the-.Impres sion of-executive irritation smdlmpa- tience. Mrf Wilson has, lately., ,been pictured asvimpervious to'jcfiuoisnt- but this Indianapolis utteraa'cLlis an indication qgtite to the contrary. One cannot help !wondering how ItlOoketo him in cold type.—Providence Jour nal. I . .; The tim* a man is most repent is after he.has rat. found The Cathdics Squirming- The Menace has succeeded in whipping the devil with his own weapons. Thebitterdeuaneiations of the “system” by that firery sheet, is becoming intolerable, and so Bepresentativo Fitzgerald of New York and another named Gallivan, of Massachusetts, are be bind a bill they have introduced in Congress “giving the Postmaster General power to bar from the mails matter reflecting on any form of religious worship.” The bill is aimed at the Menace, and it would have been more candid though not quite h o shrewd if Mr. Fitzgerald bad named the publication ia the bill. Fitzgeraldseemsto be the chief spokesman in Congress for (he Catholics, and has bean active in his efforts to bar the Menace from the mails for sometime. Gal- livan ia his speech before the com mittee having the bill in charge said “I want to call attention to the fact that distribution of that sort of literature through the mails in the resent campaign resulted in the defeat of 48 Democrats either in the primaries or at the election.” - You don’t say! Another repre named Maher said that the Boman Caholics ia his district are anxious to enrb the activities of six publi cations. He mentioned only two —the Menace and the Yellow Jack ct. t We do not^believe the Con gresa will be foolish enongh to deliver thitlbody blow at the free dom of the press.. The Menace indulges in language much more picturesque than elegant, bnt it is evidently telling the truth, other it would he liable to iuiffor libel, *nd nobody has ever entered suit against it so far as we know. The Catholics, In plain language, are simply trying to induce Congress Co suppress.several newspapers that are speaking the truth too vigor ously to suit the political hierarchy. Bev. Dr. McKim of Washington City, opposing the bill before the committee, said, “I would rather tee the press free than dean, if to clean it we had to assault liberty.” The Menaee itself says the bill is a “damnable outrage,” which is pro bably true but could have been described in language much leas vehement and quite as forcible, if the Congress shall pass this hill it will do so in order to throw a sop to a well trained political or gaaization thoroughly mobilized and disciplined tor the promotion of the ultimate aim of the Catholics, which is to get the government by the throat.—Charity and Children.

Washington, Feb. 15—A sweep ing reorganization of the rural de livery service throughout the Uni ted States for purposes ol economy will be completed within the next six months in accordance with amendments'to the existing postal laws and . regulations issued by Postmaster General Burleson. The effeot of the new regulations will be discontinuance of many routes in sparcely settled communities, the redaction in frequency of ser vice of mauy routes, rearranging of many routes where duplication may exist and inereasiftg.the diffi culties in establishing new routes. Data upon which changes in ex isting routes are to be based will be secured by postmasters. Dar ing one month of each quarter every piece of mail carried by ru ral earners shall be counted and weighed and sin accurate aeqoant. shall be made of the number of patrons served. Bouteson which the quantity of mail collected and delivered has averaged for six^ra- secutive months less than 75pieces per month per mile are to be dis continued unless ,they can' be re arranged so as to eome under the new rules. Thisregulation will make the greatest changes in North Carolina of all the new rules, tor there are many routes serving sparsely set- tled communities which eannot show this many pieces of mail. Routes which have service not more frequent than three times a week wili bave the greatest diffi culty i h i Thedifference between a boil and a born is that one comes to a bead and the other epmes to a foot. How Mr. Davis Got Rid of Bad CragL /'Seme time ago I had a very bad cough writes Lewis T. Davis, Blackwater. Del “My brother McCake Davis gave me small bottle of Cbamberiain’s Cough: Re medy. After taking this I beeglst half dozsu bottlesof it bateolyased Suej of Utemaathecouth'leftme andlhoysi been troubled dace.* Obtsisshhi ossry- * week ty servioe is that 150 of mail per mite per month shall be delivered to families numbering four to the mile. The biggest stumbling block to the establishment of new routes is the rule that-patrons living within a mile of a poetoffiee, star route or rural delivery route shall not' be counted as prospective patrons of the proposed new route. This car ries with it IAe inference that per sons living within a mile of a post- office need no delivery service and should be satisfied also if further than a milefrom a poetoffiee to get their mail from a box on a rural delivery route within a mile of their homes. Theregulations are to go into effect immediately, but their full force will not be id t under six months. So far as we know, this new rul ing will not affect any of the rural rbutes in Davie with the possible exception of Galahaln, Route I Onr friends up there should write iore letters and sabscfibe for more newspapers, and thus increase the amount of mail delivered.

In the wake of the recent dee tractive earthquakes Italy is ex periencing a new series ot disasters ia the form of floods. Everywhere heavy raia have poured steams out ef their banks. In many quarters people have been driven from their homes or ere prisoners in their homes. Troops are aiding in resenes. In Beme the river already over 50 feet ont of its banks is steadily rising. Early today the weather shewed signs of clearing. The Leonine in this city, as the Vatican waters is called, is in part of the town that is flooded but the waters have not reached St. Peters. Two hundred patients in the hoapitalt near the Vatican have been removed to the npper floors. Some fear ia expressed that the building will collapse. The roads from Bome to the sea in which there are deposits of lime have been dosed. Some of the deposits have already exploded causing the collapse ef buildings. Great anxiety is felt for the famous St. Angele bridge. The water U already over, its-.pillars and troops aad firemen are work ing to cheek the peril. Milo’s bridge, built 100 years before Christ is inundated. Water surrounds the imposing St. Paul’s. The Snblieens bridge, supposed to have been defended by Horatioos and his companions is under water. This iB the oldest bridge in Rome. Lew lying quarters of the city are flooded and people are moving about in boats. Net Any. Everything. 1 The ida was sprang on the legis lature to adjoarn in torty days. Bal it didn’t happen.

As the honorable Assembly is in session and all hope of a dog law seems to be vague, I am at a loss to know what to think. I have voted the old Democrtic ticket for 30 o dd years, expecting great things, bnt sometimes wonder why it is that bur good men are so afraid of a dog law, which eonld do no evil, yet we are left hopeless in regard to a simple, sensiable canine law to protect the interest of the people; which when pat in to affect could not cause any large appropriations to bnrden the -tax payers, bnt the reverse—bring re venue into th e State Treasury from the people who want to be responsible for the car. Make the dog property, with a minimum valuation not less than 825 and a maximum not to exceed 3200, which . could be considered a license tax whieh perhaps w ould average about 31 per head, which would base the dog and his worth aou merit either for profit or domestic pleasure, so held by the owner like all other property that pays an advalorum tax. Certainly this would not dis criminate bnt give every person bis right to own or not own a dog aud be responsible to his neighbor for any damage that might occnr there from. If a man is held responsible for his conduct to his neighbor as animate, intelligent being, why allow him to keep an animal to run free and destroy his fellow being’s property and person without re striction? Make the intelligent animal responsible for the damage done by the dog. The dog can’t oontrol himself and be .punished . nader the statute. I see that Virginia is agitating a dog law that will require a bond from dog owners for the protection of the people, which is not far wrong. Love thy neighbor as thyself fulfills the table ol sacred law, which is correct and should be observed by any Assembly. Ne Han’s Work. If man had written the Bible he wouldn’t have pnt anything in about Noah getting drank after he same out of the ark, or about Solo- ion having 700 wives and a lew hundred concubines on the side, and having old Brigham Youog backed off the boards, or about Peter denying his Lord, or about Ananias being a champion liar, oi about Judas, the miserable old scoundrel, betraying Him.

THET CONDEMN THEMSELVES. Since the war began 6 month ago $600,000,000 worth of exports haVi been sent to Europe from this coun try. Just this week the Balwin Lo comotive Works. Philadelphia, Pa., received a rush order for $2,000,000 worth of locomotives. America should be prosperous and would be under a different national adminis tration. With all this export there is a business depression. The U. S Treasury is falling behind mil.ions every month, notwithstanding an in come tax and war tax which Repub licans never dreamd of. Sfeiker Underwooeand Fitzgereld, of the Approperiation Committe, whos De mocracy is unquestioned, made statement on the floors of Congress a few days arfo in which they said that if every pledge of administra tion were ,fulfilled the nation would be bankrupt and that unless extrav agance ww stopped that tax burdens would be necessarily imposed on this people too grievous to be borne. Take the case gentlemen of the jury. Is it the “ war in Europe” or the De mocratic party?—Union Republican. Two Bilb For Davie. Representative Hendricks has in trodueed two new bills for Davie county, oiie of which is a mystery to us, and reads as follows: “To con struct an iron bridge between Davie and Forsyth.” The steel bridge has, already been constructed between Forsyth and Davie and has been paid' for, and we wot not what this bill' means. The other bill is to prevent the sale of patridges in Davie coun ty. Both of these bills have already, been passed. As soon as 'we carf secure them, we propose to publish the full text of ail the new laws for Davie. " Some Smallpox in Davie.

DegJax Bill. ’ The Currie dog tax bill allowing commissioners of any connty to levy a tax from One to two dollars each on dogs in tbe county for apodal or general purpose was laid before the House under favorable report from the finance committee and the com- on propositionsand grievances. The representatives of a large number of counties asked that their, counties be exempted before Mr. Currie ex plained that each county would con trol the matter through the conunis- sioners. Representative Mauaey said that his opponent had made the campaign in the issue of a dog 'tax and he was alleged to - support Ac. He insisted that if a dog is not worth a dollar to its owner it ought to be killed. He said the application of the law in the counties will raise a lot of revenue for the schools and help the sheep industry. Repre sentatives Pageand Hutchinson and others joined in the endorsement*'of .the bill.

I > A Broader Sphere for Religion—New Field for the Rural Church. By Peter Radford Lecturer National Farmers’ Union The social duty of the rural church Is Sb much' a part of its obligations as its spiritual side. In expressing its social interest, the modern rural church does not hesitate to claim that it is expressing a true religious in stinct and the old-time idea that the social instincts should be starved while the spiritual nature was over fed with solid theological- food, is fast giving way to-a-broader Interpreta tion of the' functions of true religion. We take ourplace in the succession of those who have sought to make the world a fit habitation for the children of ihan when we seek to study and understand the social duty of the rural church. The true Christian re ligion-Ss essentially social—its tenets of faith being love and brotherhood and 'fellowship. While following after righteousness, the church must chal lenge and seek to reform, that social order In which moral life is ex pressed. While cherishing ideals of service, the rural church which at tains the fullest measure of success is that which enriches as many lives as it can touch, and in no way can the church come in aB close contact with its members as through the avenue of social functions. The country town and the rural community need a social center. The church need offer no apology for its ambition to. fill this need in the com munity, if an. understanding of. its mission brings . this purpose into clear: consciousness.' - .The structure of a’ rural community is exceedingly com plex; it contains many social groups, each of which has Its own center, but tbere.are many localities which have but ,one church , and s although such a church cannot command the inter-' ost of all the people, It is relieved from the embarrassment of religiously divided communities. Sedar Needs Imperative, : The average country boy and girl have very little opportunity fbr real enjoyment, and have, as a rule, a vague conception of the meaning of -pleasure and recreation. It is .to fill -this void in the lives of country yonth that the rural- church has risen to the necessity of providing entertain- 'ment, as well as instruction, to its .membership among the young. The children and young people of the -church shouid meet when religion is .not even mentioned. It has been found safest for them to meet fre quently under the direction and care .of the chufch. To send them into the world with no social Uudning exposes !them to grave perils and, to try to ’keep them out of the world with no !social privileges Is sheer folly.’ There Hs a social nature to both old and [young, but the social requirements of the young are imperative. The church [must provide directly or indirectly - some modern equivalent for the buck ling bee, the quilting bee;and.the sing ing schools of the old days. In one way or another the socjal Instincts !of our young people must have oppor tunity for expression, which may take the form, of clubs, !parties, pic nics or other forms of-amusement. ;One thing is certain, and that is that !the church cannot take, away the [dance, the card party and the theatre !unless it can. offer In its- place a sat isfying substitute in'the form of more pleasing recreation. Universal Inatinctfor-Play. In providing for enjoyment the church uses one of the greatest meth ods by which human society has de veloped. ,Asscplatlon Is never secure until it is pleasurable; in play the in- attnctlve aversion of one peitson for another is . overcome and the*, social mood is fostered. Play is the chief educational- agency In rural commun ities and in the play-day of human childhood social sympathy and social habits are evolved. As individuals come together In social gatherings, their viewpoint is broadened, their ideals are-lifted and finally they con stitute a cultured and refined society. It is plain, therefore, that the church which aims at a perfected so-, ciety must use In a refined and ex alted why the essential factors in social evolution and must avail Itself of the universal Instinct for play. If the !church surrounds itself’with social /functions which appeal to young/among its membership, It fill tJ large part of the; lamentable gap in rural pleasures and win reapl the ,'richest reward by promoting a; higher and better type of maathood,! and womanhood. All Mea Liarfr-Aid Sm m VTgaca- Washiagton Post “The OrdinarT- hnmaa being eannot help telling a lie occasional ly,” said M. A. Bries, a lawyer of Columbus. Ohio. “A little .while ago I was attorney for a man in a libel snit, and the qnestion of vera city was injected into the proceed iags. The other aide called an expert to prove that moat every body lies, and he iotrodneed some statistics. This man declared that in six months he bad found’that a legislator in 30 interviews had lied 10 times. A doctor whom he had interviewed told 14 liesin 25 meet* lugs, and a young lawyer in 40 conversations-had departed from the truth 22 times. Aa older ad voeate falsified 28 times in 40 con versations. .;Ont of 10 remarks by a banker, five were untrue, and ene literally trne statement was made with in'nation to -mislead. A grocer’in lS talks lied 40 times, and the man’s grandmother, he a iid, managed to get in seven false hoods in eight conversations. •’Young married women, accord ing to this expert, are more prone In tell little lies than others, for the young woman whom he bad kept tab on told untruths 15 times in 11 calls. In six months this man’s servant girl, he- declared, told 150 lies. In all he had kept account of 377 conventions, and there wero 324 lies. Cf this num ber 100 were traceable to. vanity; 60 were told to advance the speak er’s personal interests, 50 were pot forth to conceal some embarrassing defeat, 50 to injure some other per- s mi, and 60 to make excuses for not doing what had been promised.” Prempt Adkm Will StepTeor Coogii When you first catch a CoM (often in dicated by a sneeze or cough), break it up at once.

It is passing strange that a lax on do£* should be such an un popular measure. Dogs, as a rule, are a public nuisance and they destroy thousands of dollars worth of property in a yoar, giving notb ing but trouble ia ratura. Dogs kill the farmers’ sheep; they roam the woods and destroy bird eggs and young birds; they raid fowl yards; kill chickens and suck eggs; they invade the bouse.wife’s paatry and steal her choice cots of meat; they have rabies and bite human beings; who become victims of that awful disease, hydrophobia, and yet when tbe effort is made to in dome measure abate the nuisance, a lawmaking body is very slow to move in the matter. 171 200 SkIiicU New*.
