By Baxter Shutt, Advance School. If a citizen shontd be interested in social gatheiim-- he should take his county paper and read it. A citizen can learn by reading his county paper wIidre the next club meets, who is in I-.. rn visiting and all such news peit.-iiuicg to social life. A farmer should certainly take his county paper One respect in which the farmer profits by taking his county paper is the informa tion he gains on progressive farm ing. Another way is, be can get the prices on products quoted di rect from the buyer. Every good eii izen is interested in politics. Every good citizen should take his county paper to learn more about the politics, of his county. The duty of every citizen is to know how the county government is couuucted. Hecan only learn this by taking his coun ty paper. The county paper is connected with the progressive element in the eonnty. It helps all who are willing to help themselves. Howt By printiug useful, moral and en couraging news; by helping every one interested in the upbuilding of the countv, sod illy aud educa tionally. Every go<*l citizen should be interested in the welfare of the county. By taki.ig the county paper at present a dtizeu can get the war news. If -’he county pa per does not give you all the news about the war, it publishes the main topics, condensed to a some what clearer form of reading. Then eVeryrCitizen interested in PqliUwi farming, social gatherings or the upbuildiogof the county in anv way, should take is couDty paper wcrtuse it is the cn y way to ob ain facts about tts-i county and its surroundings.

'Ihe light seen by Messrs Deal and Jones conformed exactly with the de scription of the iight given by Dr. C. L. Wilson and the party who went from here to Lovins Hotel last December. A few nights ago Dr. Wilson and several others went oat to Bel via, the summer home of Mr. J. H. Beall, to see il the light could be seen from that point.

Invigorating to the Pale and Sickly Iandatd ReneraI st^Bjtanlwrter GROVE’S TA STELESS ch .ll TO M C. toves Senator Tom Taggart. And now the Democrats of Indiana have appointed Tom Taggart.'the bar-keeper and gambling den man, to the United States Senate to suc ceed the late Senator Shively. It is hard to believe that even Democrats would send such a character as Tag gart, to the U. S. Senate but then we remember that he was at one time Chairman of the Democratic party and if we remember correctly he managed Parker’s Campajgn in 1904. At any rate he stands high in the councils of the Democraticparty and no doubt furnished Iotsoflikker from his numerous bar rooms for. campaign purposes. As to his gamb ling dens,—-well; we expect to see the preachers of the whole country rise up as one man and enter their protest against the appointment of such a notorious character as Tom Taggart to the United States Senate In the mean time all decent people will hold their nose and pray that the United Senate will not be dis graced with such a man as Taggart. Clinton News-Dispatch. Candidate SiioaM Pay. The press Journal says that some of its exchanges are running notices of candidates for office for nothing. That’s a mighty bad policy, as the said candidates would refuse to re turn the favor at the same price. Whenever yon see an article in this paper boosting a candidate you can bet your office towel against a Ford automobile that the said no tice is paid for. It is our policy to treat all candidates fair and square, but long write ups must be paid tor, not in promise, but in cash.

A dog wandered among the worshippers under the arbor and somebody kicked the dog. In revenge the canine sunk his teeth into the leg of the man nearest him, aud it happened that a pious old brother, one of the leaders of the leaders of the meet ing was the snfferer. The dog’s bite was more painful than serious and the pain was sufficient to ruffle the spirits of the good man. Just as the dog snapped him and got away, the minister in charge ot the service called on the eood brother to lead io prayer. Notwithstand ing his suffering, the victim of the dog knelt with the congregation and started this way, as Mr. Lin ney told it: “ We worshiping Christians”— and about that time the pain from that dog bite got the better of him and hecontioued: “ We worship ing Christians sloild keep onr d—n dogs at tome.” Evideutly the.

West Loses Its Glamour. “Many young men have remem bered the first half of Gieeley’s famous ■ dietitu, ‘‘Go West, young man,” says a writer in the April Woman’s Home Companion, “and have forgotten the second half, and gtbw up with Ihe country.’ They forget that Greeley gave this advice more than fifty }ears ago; they know in a vague sort of way that the West has had a marvelous development iu the past half cen tury, but they still think of it as beiug peculiarly a land of promise, aland where new enterprises spriug up so quickly that there is always a shortage of men, and everybody is more good-natured than anybody in the East, because everybody is more prosperous. “ The West, in spite of all it9 at tractions, no longer answers this rosy description. Our railroads have really abolished the economic differences that once so distinguish ed the WeBt from the East. Cer tain cities in the West are still growing very rapidly, but so are cities in the East. I have seen the time within ten years, in Montana, when day laborers were paid three lollare for the most ordinary kind of work, aud contractors were steal ing men from each other, so great was (he shortage Bnt I have also seen, during the panic of 1907, as great, if not greater, distress iu the West than I saw in the East. “In other words, for the average young man without capital, there there are jast as many opportuni ties in New York or Boston or Pittsburgh, as there are in Kansas City or Seattle or Los Angeles. Certain cities in each section, at certrtn periods' offer . special ad vantages. You can no longer measure the value of an opportu nity by its location on the map. “At any rate, he should be very certain what he is going to do be fore he gives np his present posi tion. He should have some more definite goal iu view than just ‘somewhere in the West’—a will- o’ the wisp that has ruined many a young mao’s business career.” “Chamberlain’s TaUcts Have Done Woadenfor Me.” 'I have been a snfferer from stomach trouble fora number of years, and although I have used a great number of remedies recommended for this complaint.

Cooper, the Enlistment man in the Delta of the Mississippi, found a town where the Baptists were about to close their doors because they could not pay the preacher for two Sundays a month. Cooper, upon investigation, found that if the amount of money invested by the local Baptists in automobiles were drawing iuterest at six per cent, the amount would pay the salary of every minister in the town. The good Baptists had seemingly overlooked this fact, for when it was forced upon their at tention, they called tbeir minister tor full time and raised bis salary, —Dr. B D. Gray in Home Field.

Claims to be keeping the United States out of war, aud has made a miser, able flash in Mexico. While he has been Bgbtiny Germany with all his might, he -xpecte to ride into office on his principles of ueu tralitj. Toour judgment, if hi ts not Roman Catholic at heart he is laboring for their interests and probably by their dictation. But on tbe other hand, it seems, * the Republicans are getting nearer to gether, and if Colonel Roosevelt gets out of the way, we believe they will concentre to on some sen sible man—a man rhat is neutral in practice as weu as in word—a man that will statid immovably fixed on the linemea of the Amer ican people, If s ’iis is done, we feel sure Wilson - ' I! be left so far behind he will noi be able to find the track where the Republicans went along. At iiistime we are inclined to LaFolii tie or Ford, but are not particularly choice; provi ded they give us a good Christian man who teels fha: the liberties ol our rrotetiiantisw and of our na tion originated on German soil. We are surprised that. Wilson can not see this, and because he fights Germany, we are inclined to thiuk he is otherwise disposed. OBSERYER. (Political advertising.)

You are, of course, aware that the Primary Mection is coming on pretty soon, and we will be asked to support someone for Congress tc succeed Mr. Page. Now, there are about 260,000 people in the Seventh District and only about 12,000 can be said to live in town; the others live in tbe country and small villages, and are essentially farmers like yon and me. Get this fact clearly in mind and then listen carefully • to what I am going to say There are- now four candidates for the . nomination to Congress from the Seventh District; three of these are lawyers, and one is a combination business man, farmer, so important a mouthpiece as the Lexington Dispatch; and it is not known that they would have sup ported the Democratic candidate? without pay had they been in con trol of so important an organ of publicity. 1 SECOND—Not only has Mr. Varner been a fearless, hard work ing, loyal Democrat^ but in the midst of ail bis political activities he has found time to serve his fel low men—tbe farmers in particular —in a more material sort of way. Fjr years I have kmwn him to give both his valuable time and hard earned means to the advance ment of the best interest of the people, not only of bis county but good roads advocate, newspaper I of tbe entire Seventh District as editor and philanthropist—a man — in sympathetic tonch with every class of citizenship of the Seventh District, and who knows to the minutest detail the needs ot the average man in every county he seeks to represent, I would have somewhat pieferred a good farmer to represent the 238,000 of us far mers in the ‘next Congress could one have been found to till the bill but Bince no bona fide farmer seems to be available for a candidate, I have decided to support the man in whom is . combined the best qualities, notionly of the farmer but of the business and profession al man as well—a man who can equally represent all of the .differ* ent classes of pnr citizenship and the ^hole ot onr industrial inter e9ts, many bf which • he has been instrumentalin promoting. I am unfortunate in having but one vote in the coming Primai y: had I two votes I might cast one for any one of the worthy members of the bar who feel called upon to represent :.us farmers in the Nat ional House of Representatives, am convinced, that we have no stronger lawyers'nor anymore worthy citizens in the Seventh Dis trict than the three gentlemen of the Legal Profession who are op posing Mr. Varner in 'the coming Primary. But, Brother Farmer, I am going to give you 6even funda mental reasons why I prefer Mr. Varner to any one of these gentle men. Here are my, reasons: FIRST—Mr; Vamer has alwayB I een a loyal Democrat and worked hard and long, late and eaily, both in Beason and out. of season for. the supremacy of the Democratic par ty. Not bniy has he given his time to the party in a personal ^ay, bat l& l|a§giy|n the columns of his vaM ibb paper to. the cause of (jemocracy, and jgiven ,them wife1 out ‘money .and r without price. These IhmgsiIhe -other gsnfji^en coold^not have done had Ibejf --Bo desir^ s it^ th«T‘dW «Mt VS98e* well. ThonsandB of dollars and weeks of toil have been unselfishly spent in an effort to better rural conditions among bis fellow coun trymen—and spent without saying a word about it to anyone or tak ing. or desiring to take, any credit whatever for having done so. I am convinced that it is a part ot his nature to act thus. Oa one occasion, Mr. Lincoln said: “All men act from selfish motives;" but, be bad hardly made the statement when he stop ped the stage coach, got out and lifted three pigs out of a ditch and g4ve them to the mother, which was in distress over not being able to get them out by her own efforts. Onreturning to Ihe stage, some one asked him where tbe selfish ness came in in that act, and he replied: “I could not have slept tonight had I passed by and left that sow distressed over thobe pigs.” I am convinced that this is tbe brand of selfishness that has prom pted Mr. Varner to do many of his auts of public benevolence. Perhaps our lawyer friends have done likewise, but so far I have been unfortunate in not -having heard about it. THIRD—Mt. Varner not oniy dreams dreams, but bas been able t< awake to a realization of bis dreaois. I would give a thousand times as niui h (or a man who-goes ou doing good things and saying nothing, as for the man who goes on-sa)iog good things and doing nothiug. Itisthem an who con vinces me tbat he will do good things in tbe future by nightmares over tlie steam-engine long belore it thundered along the track. We need dreamers, we want dreamers, aud we must have dreamers! only let us be sure not to send dreamers toCongress who-e- visious will be prompted i>y the desire to secure c:isiles for lhen:- selves at the expense of u-. Iiirme:* buildiug. Wliy should we be tax ed to build roads in Cuba and not be allowed to use some of our Fed eral Tax Jloney to construct roads by our doors? This condition has come about ihroiigk our sending to Coiigrei-s uieu who were not in terested iu iuteraal improvements, ft mulrttikable that Mr, Varner who elect tIiein. Bear in mind i would not Miecced iu getting Fed- that if any Congressman goes from jcrai Aid i:i the construction of the Seventh iJi-trirl to VZu-Itiuj; is-um* leading lines of post ioudd in ton this year the farmers -i>! Uns District, will send him. .-ini e .vt- couttitute uioie th:;n ton io on-.? t-! •■nr population. To lie more specific, I u>. ::»! think that anyone wonid questUn. Mr. Varner’s having devoted nsoit time and given more money its she interest of better schools, better rural health coudttious, belter iivi- stock, better roads aud better farm ing thau any other private Citizen in the State. Mr. Farm Denson strator, I know you are nut ip- posed to have anything io d;> will* politics except to east your owe vote, but if you can select any one of the other candidates, or *:in other rnau iu the State for ths>: matter, who took £500 of !sis owr. hard-earned money and ga.e it. to one of your brethren roseonte I?.< continuance of the Detnonsiration work iu bis county where the boarii of County Commissioners reiused to appropriate it, I wish you would trot him out anil let us have hit- pictdre. This was done to u;\ certain knowledge by Mr. Yarner for Davidson county some \ ears ago. FOURTH -Since I am convinei Cl th a t he knows the needs a.nl de sires of tbe Farmers of thy Seveutli D istric ta sn o O th e rm a n who h;;- 80 far announced hiuisclf dues, i am persuaded that he will Ieua Iur influence and energy to tint pas- aage of such measures in Congress es w ill m eet our needs and pro m ote our w elfare, aud at the same tim e not neglect the ue-.:ds tif other im portant interests iu tbe District. P erhaps any one of the lawyer candidates would do this if the;, ouly knew th e conditions of the ru ral d istricts as Mr. Varuer knows them . B ut, do they? FIFTH—Better roads is a prime necessity in this, country, and in our district in particular. Sooner or later, we are going to have good roads if we have to build them ourselves and pay every dollar of the expense, but I feel that this should not need to be dene. Dnr- iog the past ten years the Federal Government has spent at the rate of $2,000,000,000 a year for good roads in Cuba, Porto Eieo, Pana ma, the Philippine islands, the Hawaiian Islands and Alaska— and how much in the United the Seventh IJ strier. H elias 'o: smut: ihnv i t-e:> uehird the good roads i:: »veusent in the Suuth, and has jivae'ically all of the good nnu'iv U:iiiic!.(i' tieliind him, and with tliis pfcuiiar advantage he !•'ink! ias;!.s biing things to pa>s in tlio good roads movement that vvitiiid not !>.? even attempted by any of I he other gentlemen. SIXTH -M r. Varner’s best ef fort s have been in the advocacy of iiH-asu:es Which are for the uplift of Jiiiliiic morals and private Iiv- ing. He was an ardent advocate of our temperance legislation, and has Ueen a tower ol strength in the aid hi-h;is jiii f.)) Uip cnfon etnont '.I the law. He has stood for meas ures and men and has never at any time followed the line of least resist.-inee, hut stood for what ho Indk-Ved to be right and for the best interests of the people regard less of f-ouHei(uenees. In his news paper he has stood not only for high ideals, but has year iu and year cut for nearly a quarter of a century fought not only the battles of democracy but for better living ind civic righteousness. He has cakeu no middle grounds, nor sat •in the fence, nor waited to get on the popular side. This is the kind of mau Mt . Varner is and yon al ways know where to find him. SEVENTH—I am convinced Mr. '•’arner's acts have not been pronip- itd by political motives, and uoth ing in Mr. Varner’s life has ever ied me to believe his political and benevolent acts were iti any way prompted by selfish motives. Cer tain it is that he could not havo Uad his eye on the place he now seeks. I shall vote for Mr. Varner, and hope you will do likewise. M J. HENDRICKS. I lidding llidge Farm. Cana, Davie Couuty N.

The Third of a Serlea of Six Articles Tlie Rothamsted Escperiment Station Is in England, and is not® the great work it has done along all lines of agricultural work, it naa gone into the laws of soil fertility, has been the first to discover many oi these laws, and has In all its history been especially interested in working out a plan of farm management by which soil fertility could be malntainea at minimum cost to the farmers. • The Rothamsted exneriments began in the year 1837, when Sir Jonu Bennett Lawes began experiments on his private estate. He was a mau who loved the soil and to experiment with it. Strange to say, he was • fertilizer manufacturer in a certain sense, as he early discovered a process for transforming bone into superphosphate by the use of sulphuric a<na, took out a patent for this in 1842, and built an extensive business which he managed for about thirty years. In 1S43 he associated with him J. H. Gilbert, and these two men for more than fifty years conducted extensive agricultural investigations in regard to soils and fertilizers, and feeds and feeding of domestic animals. In 1889 Sir Jolin turned over his large estate, which had now grown so important, and had become so well known In an parts of the civilized world, to a board of directors, and endowed it wit* half a million dollars. Twenty Years Experiments on Same Plots. Among many other- things that were done, experiments were conducted with fertilizers, mineral salts, arid many forms of ammoniates, also with animal manures, to determine Just what soils needed to grow the most crops. For this work plots of ground were set aside, marked oft and carefully measured, and then planted to the crop with "which the investigator wished to work. Small plots would be used for the different kinds of mineral and animal manures, and in each series one plot would be left unfertilized throughout the entire experiments, while the others would have applied the different combinations of fertilizers, etc. Careful reports were taken fro® each end of these plots, and with interesting results. The same experimenta were continued for twenty years and more. Many experiments were conducted with hay, and some of these with the following results: The plots that had no manure of any kind averaged In twenty years; 2,383 pounds of hay; the plots which had mineral manure alone, 3,598 pounds; the plots with mineral manure and 400 pounds of am* monia salts, 5,711 pounds of hay; those with mineral manure and 800 pounds of ammonia salts, 6,726 pounds of hay; the plots which received the mineral manure and nitrate of soda 6,407 pounds of hay. Considering the very low cost of the fertilizers in comparison to tha increased yields brought about by tbetr use, one could not fail to see the value of the manure salts. ' Larger Yields Were Always Obtained. The Rothamsted station was interested in the permanent improvement at land and the part played in this by the use of fertilizing materials. From the many experiments carried out, there was never a doubt of the wisdom of applying plant food to the soil. Larger yields were always obtained, other things being equal, and the fertilization of the soils throughout England and her possessions recommended. It was decided to ascertain the effects of fertilizers on corn. Seven plots were treated as follows: Flot I. Unmanured. Plot 2. Mixed mineral manure, 3,00 pounds sulphate of potash, 200 pounds sulphate soda, 100 pounds sulphate magnesia, 350 pounds superphosphate lime. Plot 3. Ammonia salts, comprising 200.pounds sulphate ammonia and' 200 pounds muriate of ammonia. Plot 4. Ammonia salts and mixed mineral manures, as Plot 2. Plot 5. Five hundred and forty pounds Peruvian guano. Plot 6. Two thousand pounds rape cake. Plot 7. Fourteen tons farmyard manure. " The results of six years of experiments follow; The greatest Increase In yields was obtained with fertilizers richest in ammonia. The ammonia salts, the guano and rape cake gave the largest increase, which was about four or five bushels increase of dressed corn. In Plot 2, where only the mineral manures were used, the increase was least, while in Plots 3 and 5 it was greater, and in 4 greatest. It seems that the mineral manures needed the effect of the ammonia salts in order to help them become available. There was In every case a substantial increase where fertilizers were used over the plots that remained unmanured. The great object In giving the above information is to bring to the' atten tion of farmers and business men that the question of fertilizers for the aver- agd farm crops is a subject as old as any farm of agricultural education, and Rothamsted did much fundamental work on it In nt> case was it found that ammonia salts and other mineral manures, when applied together, were not valuable. Farmyard manure was somewhat valuable by itself, but for more so when ammonia salts were applied with it. Uses and Abuses of Fertilizers By Prof. R. J. H. De Loach, Director of Georgia Experiment Station. 5. FERTILIZERS AND HORTICULTURE. The Fifth of a Series of Six Articles. The fruit and vegetable growers are always leaders in the use of plant foods for their crops. This is especially true of the vegetable growers. What they wish is rapid growth in their -produce, so that'they will get the vege tables on the marlcet in the shortest possible time from the tim e of planting. This is the secret of success with vegetables, and the only way to meet such conditions is to apply fertilizers in large quantities.. In the next paper W6 shall tell about the “home garden" and how to fertilize IL In the present paper we are to tell more particularly about fruit trees and other horticultural plants. The relation of apple growing to fertilizers has never been very carefully worked out- We know that the use of fertilizers with fruit trees, and especially apples, pays, but ~we have not yet worked ont the best formulae for the various kinds of trees, nor the amounts which pay besL Brisbin says, in his book on “Trees and Tree Planting," that in planting young trees large quantities of manure should be used in preparing the place for planting. These manures should be rich in plant food elements if the trees are ex pected to make rapid growth. The best way to increase the plant food In manures is to add to the manures tiie mineral elements in various forms, and mix with leaf mold and manuVes. Brisbin also recommends that weeds should not be allowed to grow around the apple trees, as they will take up the plant food which is put down for young trees. The best method of producing fruit is to keep the field or orchard clean by growing other crops which require constant attention and cultivation. Most farmers and horticulturists fertilize tlie crops that grow in the orchard, and In this way save the expense of fertilizing the fruit trees again. In many instances legumes are grown as a cover crop, and, incidentally, to furnish nitrogen. The orchard cannot be cultivated too deeply, or injury will result. It needs to be cultivated shallow, and manures or fertilizers applied in reasonable quantities. While it is necessary to put fertilizers near the trunk of the tree, yet the roots scatter pretty well over an orchard, and the plant fopd that happens to fall further away from the trunk is not IosL 1 A large crop of apples or peaches takes from the soil much plant food, such as nitrogen, potash and phosphoric acid, and unless this is supplied from tip>e to time, the trees will prove less fruitful and finally bear very little fruit, and what they do bear will be of poor quality. The argument that old trees in pastures bear good fruit is not-sound, because conditions prevail In many isolated places this way that cannot be duplicated in the orchard. Many times it is the natural leaf mold, woods earth, droppings from animals, and other materials carrying available plant food that make the fruit on such trees, ^Besides, such fruit is rarely ever as excellent and delicious as that grown in a well-kept orchard. Fruit, like all other WnAa of field and garden crops, must be forced more or less to measure up to a high standard. To force the fruit, and at the same time keep the land fertile, wo muBt apply to the soil as much fertilizer as the crop takes from it. Fruit trees demand in their growth a fertilizer rather rich in potash and phosphoric acid, but not very rich in nitrogen. It was found that the citrus trees in California at the Riverside Experiment Station grew better fruit and did better every way with a complete fertilizer than with any aingto plant food element, or any incomplete combination. It was also found that the acid requirements of these trees weve more completely supplied with sul phate of ammonia than from any other nitrogen source. Many of the experiment stations have secured good results from fertilizing orchards, but none quite so good as the Ohio station. F. H. Ballou, in charge of work with apples, says: “To sum up the results In increased fruit production from the use of chemical fertilizers on the very thin orchard land in southeastern Ohio tak ing into consideration all our different plots at the various places covering 60 miles of country, we have the following; Average per acre, per year fertilized, 100 barrels. t Average per acre, per year unfertilised, 44 barrels Gain per a ^ re ^ p p e a r, from ffeliUiStion, 56 bdrrlls.- - * i ■- Cost of gain paH barrel, per year, 37.8 cents. yThis is the strongest endorsement for the use of commercial fertilizers In orchards that we have yet seen, and shows how it is possible to increase the incomes from an orchard by the wise, use of the proper kinds of fertilizers. Prof. Maurice A. Blake of the New Jersey Experiment Station recommends sn application of 450 pounds of fertilizer per acre w ith peaches. Prof. Starnes of the Georgia Experiment Station tried many formulas at the Georgia Station several years ago on peaches, and found that in.eyery case the fertilizers paid.- SAFER SCHOOL RUtLDING ADDITIONAL STATEMENTS RE GARDING BETTER AND SAFER SCHOOL BUILDINGS. Commissioner Young Makes Some Timely Suggestions Concerning the Building and Remodeling of School Buildings. Referring to the pamphlet, “Better and Safer School Buildings in This State,” recently issued from this de partment, I desire to make additional statements, believing they will bring out more clearly and emphasize the suggestions therein. I. The question of better school buildings is, of course, dependent upon the views of those who have charge of their erection as to their de sirability as well as upon the amount of funds at their command for use in their buildings. The statements in the pamphlet referred to show conclu sively that it will be cheaper in the end to erect school buildings of a bet ter class, to say nothing of their safe ty. The difference in the cost will be overcome in sf few years by the small er depreciation and less call for re pairs on the building, as well as the saving in insurance ,premiums. -2. The question of safer school buildings is of very great importance and ohe that cannot be overlooked, if our school authorities are to come up to the full measure of their duty in safeguarding the children- committed to them. There are two divisions of the work: (I) one the erection of safe buildings, and the other (2) the mak ing of such changes in the buildings already erected and in use as will render them safe for occupancy. The erection of safer buildings will , of course, only come up as new buildings are proposed, but the making of the present buildings safe faces us each day and calls for prompt action in every city, town and school district of the State. 3. The use of Bouble Tower Stair ways is practicable not only in the erection of new buildings, but in mak ing our present buildings safe. In my opinion, it is imperative that the school authorities throughout the State shall immediately examine their buildings and make them safe. This can be done at small cost'by cutting out all stairways and openings between the different floors and the erection of Double Tower Stairways modeled after the plan of the Tower Fire ES cape. 4. It is worthy of consideration, and I desire to bring it to the attention of the school authorities, that the Double Tower Stairways can be attached not only to brick buildings and make them safe for the children on the up per floors, but also to frame buildings and make them absolutely safe for the children on the second floor. The rea son for this is, they do away with the “smoke panic,” as well as the "rapidly spreading fire,” by cutting out all in side stairways and openings between the different floors. 5. That the use of Double Tower Stairways, does, not add te but lessens tEecbsTofscEbol Suildlngs is an addi tional reason for their use. We will take plasure in furnishing any further Information or details or examining any proposed plans as to safety from fire, and also go over any buildings jvitli a view to. the changes necessary make them safe.

The service which life insurance per forms to : its-' patrons—outside of its function of paying -death' claims—and to the community generally is no doubt In its infancy. The pioneers ex pect and hope' for' followers. The lines of its services may take new directions and- go to further lengths. The business Of life lngurance is ex panding wonderfully. The ambition of its managers Ts .to furnish protection to all of the healthy population, and many of those who, though impaired, are insurable as sub-standard risks. If one In five is now insured, why not four In five? Looking at the past growth of the business, is there any limit to its-increase? Why hot look to the time when the' people shall per form service to themselves, through the instrumentality of life insurance; a service covering health In life, care In sickness, indemnity in death, sani tation in commnnty life, financing of home-owning, of public utilities and civic conveniences—a service result ing from such widespread co-operation that it may be called a New Socialism! For it is instructive to note that of the forty millions of policies now ex tant, nearly thirty-five millions are in mutual companies.—Haley Fiske. A MENACE. In lodging houses, In rooming houses and in some tenement houses, to go no further, benzine Is used for extermi nating purposes. This is just like spraying a brain of vapor everywhere and any spark Is apt to result In ex- plosioln and fire. It is apparent, therefore, that the greatest danger lies In the evapora tion of benzine. To avoid that evapo ration is impossible. It is far better not to have any ben zine or gasoline In the home. It is far better to have yonr gtovee cleaned somewhere else than In your own home. It does not: pay to save ten cents In the cleaning of a -pair of gloves if it may ,cost a person’s: life. And the records show that hundreds of women—and most’ of them young women—have'been burned to death by the use of gasoline or benzine In homes. Safety cans, approved by, the Un derwriters’ Laboratories, mee^t the re quirements for using and storing gas oline and benzine, and should always be used. Such cans can be easily procured from a dealer.—C. A. Gawer. -The one way to make a manufactur ing plant, railroad, or any place where people are employed as near; an ap proach to perfect safety as /Can be had, is for the employer to malke safe ty rules and see that they are enforced.

Th* Third'of a. Series of .Six Article# The Rothatnsted Experiment Station is* itf England, and Is noted for the great work it has done along all lines of agricultural work. It lias gone into the laws of soil fertility, has been the first to discover many of these laws, and has in all its history been especially Interested 111 working out a plan of farm management by which soil fertility could be maintained at minimum ©ost to the farmers. Tha Hothamsted experiments began In the year 1887, when Sir John Bennett, Lawes began experiments on his private estate. He was a man who loved the soil .-rod to experiment with it. Strange to say, he was a fertilizer manufacturer in Itl certain sense, as he early discovered a proeewj for transforming hone into superphosphate by the use oi sulphuric acia, took out a patent for this in 1842, and built an extensive business which he managed for about thirty years. In 1843 he associated with him X i*- Gilfcert, and these two men for more than ftfty years conducted extensivo agricultural investigations In regard to soil? and fertilizers, and feeds and feeding of domestic animals. In 1889 Sir John turned over his large estate, which had now grown so important, and had become so well known in all parts of the civilized world, to a board of directors, and endowed it with half a million dollars. Twenty Years Experiments on Same Plots. ~ Among many other things that wore done, experiments were conduct;. J with fertilizers, - mineral salts, and. many forms of ammoniates, also Witii animal manures, to determine just what soils needed to-grow the most crop;:. For this work plots of ground were set aside, marked off and carefully measured, and then planted to the crop with which the investigator wished to work. Small plots would be used for the different kinds of mineral and animal manures, and in each series one plot would be left unfertilized throughout the entire experiments, while the others would have applied tho different combinations of fertilizers, etc. Careful reports were taken from each end of these plots, and with interesting results. The same experiments were continued for twenty years and more. • Many experiments were conducted with- hay, and some of these WKh the following results: The plots that had no manure of any kind averaged in twenty years, 2.3S3 pounds of hay; the plots which had mineral manure alone, 3,598 pounds;' the plots with mineral manure and 400 pounds of am monia salts, 5,711 pounds of hay; those with mineral manure and SOO poussdn of ammonia salts, 6,726 pounds of hay; the plots which received the mineral manure and nitrate of soda 6,407 pounds of hay. Considering the very lot? cost of the fertilizers in comparison to tha increased yields brought about fes? their use, one could not fail to see the value of the manure salts, Larger Yields Were Always Obtained. The Rothamsted station was interested In the permanent Improvement a? land and the part played in this by the use of fertilizing materials. From tha many experiments carried out, there was never a doubt of the wisdom Cf applying plant food to the soil. Larger yields were always obtained, othssf things being equal, and the fertilization of the soils throughout England acd tier possessions recommended. " It was decided to ascertain the effects ffl* fertilizers on corn. Seven plots were treated as follow*: Fiot I. Unmanured.' Plot 2. Mixed mineral manure, 300 pounds sulphate of potash, 200 poun<5# sulphate soda, 100 pounds sulphate magnesia, 350 pounds superphosphate lime. Plot 3. Ammonia salts, comprising 20.0 pounds sulphate ammonia and 200 pounds muriate of ammonia. Plot 4. Ammonia salts and mixed mineral manures, c.3 Plot S. Plot 5. Five hundred and forty pounds Peruvian guano. Plot 6. Two thousand pounds rape cake. Plot 7. Fourteen tons farmyard manure. Theiresuits of six years of experiments follow; The greatest increase In Jieids was obtained with fertilizers richest In ammonia. The ammonia salts, the guano and rape cake gave the largest increase, which was about four or five bushels increase of dressed corn. In Plot 2, where only tha mineral manures were used, the increase was least, while in Plots 3 and 5 it was greater, and In 4 greatest. It seems that the mineral manures needed the effect of the ammonia salts.in order to help them become available. There was in every case a substantial increase where fertilizers were used over the plots that remained unmanured. Tbe great object in giving the above information Is to bring to the atten tion of farmers and business men that the question of fertilizers for the aver-, ago farm crops is a subject as old as any farm of agricultural education, and Rothamsied did much fundamental work on it. In no case was it found that ammonia salts and other mineral manures, when applied together, were not valuable. Farmyard manure was somewhat valuable by itself, but far more so when ammonia salts were applied with it. BY-PRODUCTS OF INSURANCE Uses and Abuses of Fertilizers j By Prof. R. J. H. De Loach, Director of Georgia. Experiment Station. 4. FERTILIZERS AHD FtELD CROP3(. The Fourth of a Series of Six Articles DRvid Dickson, after a life of useful service to ilia fellow-man and a life of success as a farmer, had the following to say about the use or guano: “I say that farmers can make every sere of their land rich if they will. Providence intended the earth should increase In fertility as rapidly as it does in population. Every man that assists ia removing this dor mant guano, lying idle and useless on .the Chincha Islands, and puts it in circulation, creating therewith food and clothing, is R benefactor to his kind. The country suffers for want of a snare of the surplus fertilizing- material. Remove the deposit and apply to crops, find it will enrich th< land.” “I commenced to use guano in 1S46, and gradually Increased the use of it until the present time, never having omitted to 'Use it on my crops excepting the last year of the war, when I could not obtain it. With the proper system of rotation of crops, and returning all the crops to the land, except the lint of the cotton, land may be improved with Peruvian guano alone, but not so fast as when ^ you combine with the soil all tlie ele ments of the plants to be grown. Ariimonia being necessary for all plants, I know of no crop that it would not benefit. It will pay the best upon those crops that bring the most money—cotton being that crop in this sec- • tion and tobacco in other sections.” It will be seen from the above that Mr. Dickson profited greatly by the use of guano. He knew well the value of ammonia to growing crops, but you will observe that he knew quite as well the value of other plant, foods to the crop. He got better yields when he applied all the elements of plant food than when he applied ammonia a-one. Also observe that he considered it good business to apply fertilizer. He was a business man as well as a farmer, and knew all the keen points in the business world. Views of.Another MHlionaire Farmer.’ The Hon. James M. ,Smith, another millionaire farmer of Georgia, who died only a few weeks ago, had the following to say with reference to the use of fertilizers on farm crops: “The use of fertilizers has become, one of the most important factors in Southern agriculture. It is a powerful agency in producing an increased yield—a thing /we should desire and work for. We certainly believe in the use of commercial fertilizers, but we also believe in the turning under oi vegetable m atter, the sowing of legumes and the saving of all barnyard ma nure. The up-to-date farmer will not consider oue of these but all four of them, in trying to increase his farm crops.” Each of these two farmers, who have done much to stimulate farm im provement, learned the vaiue of fertilizers, but learned equally well the value of diversified farming. They Would not decrease the use of fertilizer, but diversify more. They would have us use more fertilizers, so that we coukl grow more plants and vegetable mater, in turn plow this under and in this way increase the fertility of our lands. The most effective fanning of today involves these two great principles. Use fertilizers and diversify the crops. Rotate and feed the plants, and you will increase your yields, be more secure from plant diseases, and bring your farm into a high state of cultiva- tion. Put Baek Plant Food In the Soil. If growing crops tske plant food out of the soil and wq do not plow un* fler an amount equal to this, or get it from some other source and apply it, our land is sure to decrease in fertility and in value. This is a fact beyond dispute. With most of our crops we lake from the fields a large amount of nitrogen, phosphoric acid and potash, which never goes back, to the place on the farm from whence it came. We should see to it, then, that, some kind of plant food takes its place. In the case of cotton, we sell the *seed and with them large amounts of nitrogen and ether elements of plant food. Very of ten we burn the stalks, and in this way take from the field much more valuable plant food.. It Ib sucldal polfcy for us to remove from the soil more plant food than we restore to the soi On a sandy farm in one of the Southern States, which had abandon ed by *ts original owner and sold for fifty cents peat acre, a litttle barnyard Oianure and l»avy, applJcations of fertilizer made another farm rich. The las! -farm er used"$15'worth of fertilizer pe<* acre and raised-i,400 pounds of seed cotton per acre. This Was about a bale per acre on the entire farm. The $15 investment ili fertilizers and good breaking and cultivation netted the thrif ty farmer more than $50 per acre when cotton was Sringing a high price.All the experiment stations and other institutions have found that ferti lizers applied to farm, crops under good ^cMfditions pay a handsome dividend on the investment. It generally means the converting of a nonpaying farm into a profitable farm. This, after all, is what we farrp for, for profit as well as some pleasure. The average farmer gets large returns for fertilizers wisely used. If fertilizers do not always pay, it is because farmers waste instead o: use them. . _. . ^ Life Insurance Companies Render a Great Service Through Efficient Investment Departments. ♦ Life insurance has • many by-pro ducts. The service rendered by tha investment departments of the com panies is one of them. Amounts col lected in premiums are not sufficient to mature policies, but premiums col lected plus interest earnings are suf ficient. The investment of these ac cumulated payments of insurance is necessary, and the interest earnings are essential in the m aturing of insur ance plans. The insurance companies, therefore, become an ijnportant source of money supply and serve those in need of more capital—the man who desires to develop or enlarge his farm, or the man who plans a business block or n hoaie as well ae the men who build railroads or -plan and carry out other large undertakings. An ex amination of the list bonds, mortgages and other securities hold by insurance reveals a service in money supply far greater than is generally supposed. It is probable that many of the largo systems of businses, so useful in conn- try-wide development, could not have been financed at all except for life in surance service. The New San Fran cisco is a good illustration of this by product. About $300,000,000 of the money used in the rebuilding of this wonderful city was furnished by life insurance. Life insurance, with its brother or ganizations—-liability, casualty and fire insurance organizations—is rendering tremendously important service in many directions. The companies in suring honesty in official positions and among employees protect organi zations and employers' and furnish a strong incentive toward effective and honest service, helping in a large way to make business dependable and to inculcate rules of honesty in all busi ness transactions. The casualty com panies with their campaign of safety first teach people to live carefully and to avoid accidq.u! s. It*is to their ad vantage to rednro the number of the halt, the manned, and the blind to the largest extent. The? want every man to be In the possession of his senses and to have two feet and two hands and to be efficient. The fire companies are teaching the proper construction and care of buildings and tlie preven tion of w aste.' They want structures to be constructed and to stand for government use. Piies of ashes do not appeal to them. Life Insurance, through the various medical depart ments and otherwise, teach healthful living, and conduct extensive cam paigns f(Tr the elimination of -prevent able diseases and for the maintenance of health;:- The span of human life ia being lenirthcned. and the conditions tinder which we Iivn are being stead ily improved. Those by-prodnets of insurance, in the aggregate, render such tremendous human service that the most lftom t estimate will be no more than a weal; aporoximation.— 13. W. Tlandall. the cost of each calamity In particular among as large a num ber as possible ■of the members of society, so that it will not fall with crushing effect upon one, there would he no sifficient rea son. for the existence of the great business of insurance in all its many ramifications. This feeling, originally entertained nearly three thousand years ago in connection with the manifest perils of traffic by sea, has spread by degrees, and of late with astonishing rapidity, until now It is applied to every imag inable. possibility, and even to some possibilities which give the imagina tion a rather severe strain. FOR THE MAN ON THE JOB DISTBlBUTiON OF RISKS It is Clearly Understood That the Fundameritni idea ar.d Basis of lnourancs Remains the Same. The economic function of insurance, the fundamental idea which was origi nally i!s basis and which remains so, Uas Iong-Tjseii clearly understood. A proper distribution of financial risks i:-; Cf necessity the vory basis of all insurance. To a realization of the need of surh distribution the idea of irnnrnnce owes its origin. If it were not for the feeling on the part of so ciety- at large tliaL calamity in general, whether due In the elements, to the immutable tows of life, to tlie hazards o! existence, or to the frailties of man kind, can best be cared for by dividing Rules Posted in Factories For Safety Purposes Should . Never Be Overlooked. Enforcement of factory rules is an other important m atter in conenction with-safety work, and it m ust not be overlooked. The posting of rules and allowing them to be disregarded shows very poor management. W hen a rule ia posted, every employee should obey it. or be. called to the superintendent’s office and asked' if he thoroughly un derstood the order; if-not, be instruct ed and given a copy to keep and read; no excuses to be accepted afterward. A disregard of rules should be con sidered a great offense against the management, and should be dealt with seriously in order to have the desired effect upon all interested. The posting of attractive signs at points of danger and in conspicuous places has given excellent results.' These silent remind ers have caused' employees to stop and think, because the eye had caught tlie warning in time, although the mind was lost in thought, and thus prevented an accident. I believe that bulletin orders and signs should be changed from time to time in order to get the best results from these sources. One becomes, used, in time, to conditions encountered daily and passes them by, but something new in color or design at once excites man’s natural curiosity, causing the employee to think. Once a man stops to think he becomes a safer and a better man In all his undertakings. Think first, and safety follows.—Saf ety Engineering. THE OVERHEATED STOVE. Overheated stoves caused 49 fires in Kansas last year, according to re ports received at the office of the State Fire Marshal. The combination of overheating with flaws and otlier weaknesses caused 117 fires, with a property loss of $59,000. Nearly all oi these fires could have been avoided by the exercise of a little care. The most common cause of over heating is the use of stoves that arc too small to heat the room in which they are used. It is the attem pt to push the stove beyond its capacity that causes the fire. It is less expen sive in the long run to buy the larger stoves. A stove that is large enough to heat a room in cold weather with out becoming red hot will outlast three or four stoves that are so small that they have to be kept red in cold weather in order to do the work. Then, too, the larger stove will produce more heat with tlie same amount of coal. as.it is not necessary to open the draft so wide, and much heat is saved, which in the case of the small, overheated stove goes up the chimney. The way to avoid fire from stoves is to get a stove that is plenty large to do the work, provide it with good pipe and a good chimney, and then i;si ordinary care and horse sense in thr handling r,f the fire. W ith these pr© caution;, at least three-fourths of tb? 8res from stoves and fiues would ennih be avoided.—Kansas F. M.

Wliile this provision of the building ccde does not apply to existing thea ters, it does include such as may be remodeled, as wall as regular thea ters or other buildings or rooms which may be “used for the purpose of op erating a motion picture show.” Addeii to the requirem ent that it shall be on the ground fioor, “shall front on the public higluvay and have ample means O ie sit at either end of the rcom In v/hieli the people congregate,” this may be the means of decreasing ma terially the value of property not sit uated favorably in these respects. Every ordinance or building code change of this or sim ilar nature af fects the desirability of real property for, or in respect to, fire insurance liability, and its probable effect upon t’c t business prosperity of the occu pant or lessee should be weighed care fully. The moral effect upon the com munity not infrequently causes the abandonment of well-equipped and Who1Iy safe risks, due to the with drawal of patronage to the supposedly sa.er--establishments.

By Mary Myers. A newspaper is a sheet or sheets of pap jr printed at short intervals of time for the purpose of convey ing, intelligence of passing events. It is distributed through the connty as a bearer of tidings, the herald of commerce and often a more or less accepted guide in matters of politics, arts, morals and sports. It also gives the people and schools union with each other. We should take the connty paper that we might know what is gding on in the coautrv around us. and to be intelligent people we must not only know what is going on around us, bat must be interested in it. To do this we must take the county paper, because this is the only way of learning of current happenings besides the talk of men and women. If we depended on public gossip for our information, by the time the news got to some of us. it wonld be hard to believe; and if we were to believe it, it wonld not be trne. Such news would do the county more harm than good. The paper usually gives things as they really are and not magnified The county paper is a great help to the school in many ways. It gives new ideas to the schools, helps the teachers in their work, makes the children more intelligent, and gives all schools and pupils unity. Moreover if we have no other motive for taking the county paper we should take it out of respect for the editor, who is doing everything he can to get news for his readers, to help build up his county, and to make a good county seat-. We should have respect enough for .Qqr fellow citizens and neighbors to be interested in their affairs and to want to help them. Farmers who ti-ke the connty paper can tell where to go to buy their farm and home supplies from the advertisement:! which now form an important part of all papers. The farmers can advertise when they want to sell the products from the farm. The best way to do all of these is to taue the county paper. IN MOCKSVILLE Seed H ubaf Retailed. Washington Dispatch. . The House voted to retain in the agricultural'appropriation bill the $250,000 item for the distribution of Hee garden seeds by members of Oongresa. Mr. Candler of Mississ ippi, aroused over the attacks of “city members’' against the garden seed item, averred that “some of tire greatest statesmen of the world have distributed garden seeds. BothThomasJeffenooand BeDja- min Franklin believed in that.” Representative Walsh, who comes from the non agricultural section of Boston, moved to strike the garden seed appropriation from the bill. He was vigorously assailed by Bepresentative Heflin of Ala bama, Sims of Tennessee and Cand ler of Mississippi. Mr. Heflin de clared that Mr. Walsh, anew mem ber, “will think differentl yon this subject after be has been here as long as I have.” “It makes too difference how long I stay here,” said Mr. Walsh, “I shall never become a govern ment seed peddler.

Tree Yidds Aged Brandy. Woodland, Del., (Dispatch Philadelphia Record. Twelve-year-old peach brandy is highly prized in Delaware, so the joy of Arthur Massey, a Woodland farmer, can be imagined when he discovered a can of peach brandy supposed to be 70 or more years old where it had been buried for many years. Massey was digging up an apple tree on his farm when he fodnd, wrapped in the roots of the tree, a glass can tilled with brandy and with a peach in it. The cau was wrapped in tin, and the roots of the tree bad grown around it.

Neighbors went to'war with each other over it and some times the qnarrel was carried into tbe church. In each of these neigh borhoods some brave men led the way. feeing further ahead than bis neighbors be bared his bosom to the storm and met the furious assaults with calm composure. He had sense enongh to know that time wou !<1 vindicate him, and he count ed the cost and made the sacrifice. Blessing on the man who thus blizeil the way to better things in rplie of the maledictions of those who reaped from the reform move- meut as much beuefits as he! The same was true of tbe good roads movement; and the suffering and sacrifice are not ovei yet. There is at least one cqunty in this sena torial district that wares its candi date not to follow the example of Beecher Leonard! And this very county is.more dependent on good roads than Davidson. Why do men never learn from experience? Wby do they not realize the fact that revolutions never go back ward? We are in the period of good roads now and the people that stubbornly refuse to go for ward will be compelled at last to join the procession, but after the loss of years, it may be of valnable time. The time of the mud gulley has passed. Theprogres ivespirit and even the geDtility of people are measured by their roads. Public sentiment has decreed that the mad must go. There may be dif ference of opinion a9 to tbe meth ods employed, but nobody dares to lift hfrhssriFj^mi^Y^ ways. Tfiere are other great re forms that are just ahead of ns; and the time for playing with them is past. The incoming legislature will be called upon to enact some laws with teeth—and they would better show themselves men and not mere politicians. Here are the worthless, mangy curs that infest onr land. The legislature can put them out of business by faxing dogs. The time has come to take hold of this thing with a man’s grip. What if the thriftless owner of a worthless dog does get mad? He has his whole life time to get pleased. Let our law makers do tbe right thing uo matter whom it offends. Nobody can please everybody anyhow. But the man who loves the right and who is not afraid to do right will come into his own as surely as the sun will rise! Time is the great adjuster of inequalities. When tbe mists have rolled away the truth will shine as clear as the’stars. The man who opens the way for righ teous reforms though he fall in tbe battle will be the real victor in the end.—Charity and Children. HOW’S HUS?

The blackberry will be with us, provided we get a little rain once in a whilf. Mr. Wilson favored a one-term platform at Baltimore four years ago. Will he tell the leaders that he still believes in one term, at the Democratic convention next month. With such men as P. E. Brown, of Wilkes. S. Carter Williams, of Yad kin, and other prominent speakers billed for Davie this fall, things will be pretty lively and the song of the whang-doodle will be stilled. A gentleman from Cooleemee asks us to announce in The Record that he is a candidate for sheriff, subject to the Democratic primaries and the- Republican County Convention. He forgot to hand us $5. and for tha* reason his name is withheld. If Hughes is nominated for Presi dent on the Republican ticket there is no doubt but that we will have a Republican President for four year?. There are other good men, but Hughes seems to be stronger than the others. Mexican Bandits Again Raid American SinL Alpine.

Uses and Abuses of Fertilizers By Prof. R. J. H. De Loach, Director of Georgia Experiment Station. 3. ROTHAMSTED EXPERIMENT STATION AND FERTILIZERS. The Third of a Series of Six Articles The Rothamsted Experiment Station is In England, and is noted Uw the great work It has done alopg all lines of agricultural work. It has gone into the laws of soil fertility, has been the first to discover many of these laws, and' has in all its history been especially interested In working out a plan of farm management by which soil fertility could he maintained at minimum cost to the farmers. The Rothamsted experiments began In the year 1837, when Sir John Bennett Lawes began experiments on his private estate. He was a • man who loved the soil and to experiment with it. Strange to say, he was a fertilizer manufacturer In a certain sense, as he early discovered a process for transforming bone into superphosphate by the use of sulphuric add, took.out a patent for this in 1842, and built an extensive business which he managed for about thirty years. In 1843 he associated with him J. H. Gilbert, and these two men for more than fifty years conducted extensive agricultural Investigations In jegard to soils and fertilizers, and feeds and feeding of domestic animals. In 1889 Sir John turned over his large estate, which had now grown so important, and had become so well lmown In all parts of the civilized world, to a board of directors, and endowed it with half a million dollars. Twenty Years Experiments on Same Plots. Among many other things that were done, experiments were conducted with fertilizers, mineral salts, and many forms of ammoniates, also with animal manures, to determine just what soils needed to grow the most crop*. For this work plots of ground were set aside, marked off and carefully measured, and then planted to the crop with which the investigator wished to work. Small plots would be used for the different kinds of mineral and animal manures, and in each series one plot would be left unfertilized throughout the entire experiments, while the others would have applied the different combinations of fertilizers, etc. Careful reports were taken from each end of these plots, and with Interesting results. The same experiments were continued for twenty years and more. Many experiments were conducted with hay, and some of these with the following results; The plots that had no manure of any kind averaged In twenty years, 2,383 pounds of hay; the plots which had mineral manure alone, 3,598 poundB; the plots with mineral manure and 400 pounds of aim monia salts, 5,711 pounds of hay; those with mineral manure and 800 pounds of ammonia salts, 6,726 pounds of hay; the plot* which received the mineral' manure and nitrate of soda 6,407 pounds of hay. Considering'the very low cost of the fertilizers in comparison to tha increased yields brought about by their use, one could not fall to see the value of the manure salts. Larger Yields Were Always Obtained. The Rothamsted utation was interested in the> permanent Improvement of land and the part played In this by the use of fertilizing materials. From the many experiments carried out, there was never a doubt of the wisdom of applying plant food to the soil. Larger yields were always obtained, other things being equal, and the fertilization of the soils throughout'England and her possessions recommended. It was decided to ascertain the effects ol fertilizers on corn. Seven plots were treated as follow*:Flot I. Unmanured. Plot 2. Mixed mineral manure, 306 pounds sulphate of potash, 200 pounds sulphate soda, 100 pounds sulphate magnesia, 350 pounds superphosphate lime. Plot 3. Ammonia salts, comprising 290 pounds sulphate SimiwtnIn and 200 pounds muriate of ammonia.Plot 4. Ammonia salts and mixed mineral manures, as Plot 2.Plot 5. Five hundred and forty pounds Peruvian guano. Plot 6. Two thousand pounds rape cake.Plot 7. 'Fourteen tons farmyard manure. The results of six years of experiments follow; The greatest increase In yields was obtained with fertilizers richest in ammonia. The ammonia salts, the guano and rape cake gave the largest increase, which was about four or five bushels increase of dressed com. In Plot 2, where only the mineral manures were used, the increase was least, while in Plots 3 and 5 it was greater, and In 4 greatest. It seems that the mineral manures needed the effect of the ammonia salts in order to help them become available. There was in every case a substantial increase where fertilizers were used over the plots that remained unmanured. The great object in giving the above information Is to bring to the atten tion of farmers and business men that the question of fertilizers for the average farm crops is a subject as old as any farm of agricultural education, and Rothamsted did much fundamental work on it. In ns case was it found that ammonia salts and other mineral manures, when applied together,' were not valuable. Farmyard manure was somewhat valuable by itself, but far more so when ammonia salts were applied with it. 1 F O U R T E E N T H D A V I E C O U N T Y B A R A C A -P H IIz ATITE A C O N V E N T I O N T O B E H E L D A T L I B E R T Y M E T H O D I S T C H U R C H S A T U R D A Y A N D S U N D A Y .

SDfER SCHOOL BUILDING ADDITIONAL STATEMENTS REp GARDING BETTER AND SAFER ; SCHOOL BUILDING8. Commissioner Young Makes Somo Timely Suggestions Concerning the Building and Remodeling of School Buildings. Referring to the pamphlet. “Better and Safer School Buildings in This State,” recently issued from this de partment, I desire to make additional statements, believing they will bring out more cle’arly and emphasize the suggestions therein. 1. The question of better school buildings is, of course, dependent upon the views of those who have charge of their erection as to their de sirability as well a£ upon the amount of funds at their command for use in their buildings. The statements in the pamphlet referred to show conclu sively that it will be cheaper in the end to erect school buildings of a bet ter class, to say nothing of their safe ty. The difference in the cost will be overcome In a few years by the small er depreciation and less call for re pairs on the building, as well as the saving in insurance premiums. 2. The question of safer school buildings is of very great importance and-one that cannot b’e overlooked, if our school authorities are to come up to the full measure of their duty in safeguarding .the children Cbmmitted to them. There are two divisions of the work: (I) one the erection of safe buildings, and the other (2) the mak ing of such changes in the buildings already erected and in use as will render them safe for occupancy. - The erection of safer .buildings will , of course, only come np as new buildings are proposed, but the making of the present buildings safe faces us each day and calls for prompt action In every city, town and school district of the State. 3. The use of Double Tower Stair ways is practicable not only In the erection of new buildings, but in mak ing our present buildings safe. In my opinion, it is imperative that the school authorities throughout the State shall immediately examine their building^ and make them safe. This can be done at small cost by cutting out all stairways and openings between the different floors and the erection of Double Tower Stairways modeled after the plan of the Tower Fire tEe^sT oTScEooT buildings Is an 5331- tw oi reason for their use. We will take plasure In furnishing any further Information or details or examining any proposed plans as to safety from fire, and also= go over any buildings with a view to the changes necessary to make them safe. Call on me In person or by letter. JAMES R. YOUNG, Insurance Commissioner, Raleigh, N. a 4. It is worthy of consideration, and I desire to bring it to the attention of the school authorities, that the Double Tower Stairways can be attached not only to brick buildings and make them safe for the children on the up per floors, but also to frame buildings and make them absolutely safe for the children on the second floor. The rea son for this is, they do away with the “smoke panic,” as well as the “rapidly spreading, fire,” by cutting out all in side stairways and openings between the different floors. 5. That the use of Double Tower Stairways^does not add to but lessens ADVANCE IN LIFE IN8URANCE. The service which life insurance per forms to its patrons—outside of its function of paying death claims—and to the community generally is no doubt In its Infancy. The pioneers ex pect mid hope for followers. The lines of its services may take new directions and go to farther lengths.. The business of life Insurance is ex panding wonderfully. The ambition of its managers, is to furnish protection to all of the healthy population, and many of those who, though impaired, are Insurable as sub-standard risks. If one In five is now insured, why not four In five? Looking at the past growth of the business, is there any limit to its increase? Why not look to the thne when the people shall per form service to themselves, through the instrumentality of life insurance; a service covering health in life, care In sickness, indemnity in death, sani tation in communty life, financing of home-owning,, of public utilities and civic conveniences—a service result ing from such widespread co-operation that it may be called a New Socialism I For it is instructive to note, that of Die forty millions of policies now- ex tant, nearly thirty-five millions are In mutual companies—Haley Fiske. A MENACE. Di lodging houses, In rooming houses and in some tenement houses, to go no further, benzine is used for extermi nating purposes. This is just like spraying a train of vapor everywhere and any spark. In apt to result in ex- plosioin and fire. It is apparent, therefore, that the greatest danger lies in the evapora tion of benzine. To avoid that evapo ration is impossible. It Is far better not to have any ben zine or gasoline in the home. It is tar better to have your gloves cleaned somewhere else than In your own home. • It does not piay' to save ten cents In the cleaning of a pair of gloves if -it may cost a.person’s life. And the records show that hundreds of women—and most of them young women—have been burned to death by the use of gasoline or benzine in homes. Safety cans,' approved by the Un derwriters’ Laboratories, meet the re quirements for using and storing gas oline and benzine, and should always be used. Such cans can be easily procured from a dealer.—C. A. Gareer, The one way. to make a manufactur ing plant, railroad, or any place where people are employed as near an ap proach to perfect 'safety as can be had, is for the employer to make safe ly rules and' see that Uiey are enforced.

Mr. Editor:—I think every one should take their county paper for several reasons. First, yon can hear all of the news in the county Second, yon can read the adver tisements and ku>”v which store to trade at. For instance, if you are wanting some dry goods or any kind of tools you can look in your county paper and see just where to go and get them without going to so many stores. Then it will cot let the money go to other conn ties,- but stay iu your own county, If you didn’t take your county pa per you would perhaps see some advertisements iu another paper that you would think would be a better bargain and go to get it when you could get it nearby and perhaps not have to pay so much for it. Then if some of your old friends die in the county and they cannot send yon word you can just take your paper and look at it and it will tell you all about their We heard that the cotton mill would! or if J ou know it and are startupMonday or Tuesday.

If onr administration had forced England to conform to international law the submarine troubles with Germany never would bave arisen. And even now Germany declares her present method of aubnisrine warfare to be by way of reprisal, and that if England will but lift her unlawful blockade so as to ad mit-food to her civilian population she will discontinue her present method ot enbmarine warfare. Butsince opr Administration is. determined tohelp fight Eogland’s battles I judge it is better to come out into the open and declare war than to continue to fight under the hypocritical guise of neutral dip lomacy as it has been doing; But let iftw kndwn and remembered that the first , and greatest tranB gressor of Jfftriean rights in this present WOi^d-war is England.— Rev.

Editor Record:—Much is- being said these days about the war and about partizan politics, and nowand then you will see some short notice in the daily and weekly press about our schools, put in some out of ihe way place like a patent medicine ad vertisement run at half rates. Are we not paying enough taxes and spending enough money on our schools to give them more thought and attention? Ave not our schools the most important and far-reach ing instrument that can be used to shape and mould public sentiment along right and righteous lines that make for the uplift and development of the great masses—the people? 11 there any other instrument in our reach or possession which possesses the vital forces, and the everlasting good contained in a “thoroughly good education?” What broadens and strengthens the morals, devel ops the mental capacity, and points the way to making us physically stronger than an education along proper lines? I have thought for some years that our educational system was qn the retrograde in some particulars, but realized that the man who would attempt to point out these defects would call down upon his head the anothemas of many of those who stand high in the educational world; that of itself has not silenced me. but I realized that it would be love’s labor lost and would accomplish as much as one who shoots straws against a strong wind. Below I am giving you an editorial from Leslie’s Week ly, in commenting on the views of Dr. Flexner: Theory and tradition are playing too large a part in our educational system, according to Dr. Abraham Flexner, assistant secretary of the GeneralEducation Board. Too much time is spent' in ancient languages, in a theoretical rather than a prac tical study of modern languages, and on mathematics. Our children are taught formal grammar, but not how to speak and write correctly. In the study of living languages most attention is given to grammar and labored translations into English, with little result in a speaking knowledge. There is something wrong when a pupil after two or more years of study is unable to converse in French or German. In • stead of spending so much time on mathematical studies of no practical use, would it not be better to give the student a mastery of the few fundamental processes that are of daily use?Dr. Flexner holds that aside from reading, writing, spelling and ligur- ihg, the curriculum should be built out of actual activities in science, industry, esthetics, civics. lHie educated person in the future should be trained “to know, to care about and to understand the world he lives in, both the physical world and the so cial world.” The trouble with our schools has been that their gradu ates feel out of place in the world into which they are thrust. The boy or girl on leaving school should not have to pass through a period of adjustment to the world, but should be equipped to take up at once tbe practical work of life. Commenting favorably on the Flexner report. Thomas W. Churchill, ex President of the Board of EducaUon of New York City, said: “We ought to have business men on our Boards of Education, no matter whether they are butchers, bakers or blacksmiths, to bring the breath of modernism and practicalism into the chilly vaults of the medieval pedants." When one reads the above editor ial who has children at school, and who looks into their progress in their different studies he is tour.d to admit the indictment is true. If it is true, and there is do doubt of it in my mind, what is the cause of it and where is the remedy? After finding out the cause, should we not devote some time in trying to bring about a change—a remedy? Is not the future of our children of greater importance to us than who shall re present us in Congress, or who shall be the next president of the United States? In my next article I will give in part a conversation of an old farmer with reference to the ef fect of this misdirected education on his sons. I don’t care to monopolize your space aid would like for some one else to come in and let's try at least to improve our system of edu cation. We can at 'eJist cal !atten tion to the defects-, and let those who teach join.the effort to better our schools.

We would again remind the States ville Landmark that there is no such paper as "The Tim°s” printed in Mocksville. We once threatened to bring suit against The Landmark for referring to our paper as The Times. Many years ago there was such a paper here, bill it breathed its last and is now where the whangdoodle mourneth not. The Winston folks have decided to have the papers in that city tell the truth about the scarlet fever epi demic, and we believe it to be a wise move. Many .of our people are afraid to go to Winston as all kinds of re ports are being circulated and the papers have given no information as to the situation. It is always best to present the facts. We are printing in today’s paper an article written by one of our citi zens on the Mocksville school. Many of our people thougnt the school board, teachers, etc , did wrong I y charging an admission to the com mencement exercises, since the par ents have to furnish the taxes to run the school and have to furnish the children for the exercises.

Mr, Editor:—Will you allow me a little space in your paper for a few brief re marks relative to our graded school and its closing exercises? Now that the school year has closed, teachers and children are ready for their unenvied vacation and we presume our school board is considering applications for another year. The writer being a taxpayer and patron feels privileged to speak out. Now we do not en tertain the idea that changing teachers every year is good policy, however there are circumstances and conditions present which wa'rrant several changes in our . faculty for another year. Webelievethe board realizing what co-operation means in school work will be glad to know your wishes in the matter, so act now. Don't wait until after the selections have been made and then criticise the board and later the teachers. But what has been up permost in the minds of our patrons .the past few days was the closing exercises. Were they good? Those who were fortu note enaugh to have the 25 cents admission fee each night say yes. But what about the ones who didn't have it? Weil that’s your luck. A great many of our school patrons are laboring men, honest as the days are long, many Iivind in rented houses and short of work and I dare say some of which spend sleepless night hours planning how to make ends meet in an honorable way. They appreciate . their school facilities, and usually comply with the request of teachers as to purchasing school books and other supplies, even to special costumes the children are to wear at commencement for which occasion the children lose two weeks of valuable time and when these parents ' desire to attend the exercises to see the results of this extra expense and much preparation thev are asked to fork over another half dollar for the privilege. We ask why this admission fee is charged: Tome give one answer, some an altogether different one. The writer put the same question to the principal a few years ago He frankly replied, "If we didn’t: charge Ane toughs would take up too much room, qnd their presence are not desired." Now, ^who ire the toughs referred to—the'^ones . who made so much noise Monday night, or our laboring people. If the first, then the plan doesn't work—if .the latter it does wdrk and’the. cousins are- delighted. •TNnd by the way, when we think about it, when alf.the cousins are seated in our school;auditorium there isn’t room left for many of us poor taxpayers, no Way1, Thisia an outrageous state of affairs^erjd;!

FOR SHORT TRAINS MADE DY UNIONS Might Just As Well Ask Country To Return To Sailing Boats j And Ox Carts • | Washington, D. C.—To the public that pays every dollar of the railroad bill (and forty-five cents of every dol- 1 Iar paid for transportation is for wages) the leaders of the four brotherhoods of railway employees, who are demanding increased pay, say: "AU the railroads have to do to meet our demands for higher, wages is to shorten their trains, move freight more rapidly, and escape the penalty of overtime wages.” ' The fallacy of this statement, which is the last-ditch argument used in support of the demand for increased wages, is well shown in the following editorial which appeared in the W ashington, D. C. Times of April 19, under the heading "A Mad Freight Train Idea:” "Everybody In the ranks of the general public will agree with the railway managers that the campaign which the railway, workers are waging, particularly, in the ,west, for shorter trains, while at the same time de manding higher pay and fewer hours of work, is of all possible claims the most preposterous. Indeed, in eeonom-; ics it is an ideal little short of mad.“The railroads have spent hundreds of milions of dollars lowering grades, eliminating sharp curves, ballasting roadbeds and putting in heavy rails, so that powerful loco motives, larger cars, and longer trains could be handled in one. movement. If this object had not been achieved railway wages never could have been advanced to the point at which they I already have arrived and traffic rates j never could have been held dow n; where they are today without the whole railroad system of the United States being made a financial wreck. "Any chUd can see that if, after the principal railroads of the coun try have been reconstructed to haul the heavier tonnage in mass, you cut every freight train in half, the cost of operation must be increased stu pendously, with two ' locomotives where one now does, with two engi neers where one now does, with two firemen where one no\v does, with two conductors where one now does, with virtually two whole train crew's where one now does, not to speak of the new equipment and the new ter minal facilities that would be needed.‘*This proposal is not essentially . different from urging that the world go back from the steamships of to day to the sail barks of centuries ago, from the railroads themselves to the stage coaches and ox carts, of the past. It is like suggesting that the farmer himself drive his wagon- ■ load of produce in small lots day a t-' ter day to the distant m arket of the city instead of loading it in bulk into ■ freight cars and dipping it all at . once by rail." 100,000,000 Paralyzed Just as the railroads have begun to make money, after several hard years, they are threatened with a great strike. Four national railroad unions threaten to tie up every steam road in the country. The number of em ployees involved. may total 400,000. They seem to have-it In their power to stop all freight and passenger traf fic on 250,600 miles of track. We have never had a strike of such scope and magnitude. It would par alyze all American Industry and com merce and stop our export trade. A nation of 100,000,000 people would stand still, while its biggest industry fought out a question of wages and hours. A deadlock would be incon ceivably destructive.—Bangor (Me.) News. if A Railway Break Down. In the case under consideration, the engine and trainmen should win their point, it would be but another step towards a general railroad break down, and that would mean eventual government ownership. The railroad employee who assists in any move of that sort, once he became a government employee would undoubtedly spend a goodly part of his time when off duty In trying to find how many kinds of a donkey he had made of himself.—At lanta Iron Tradesman. The Wrong Theory. To pursue a dispute as to hours and wages on the theory that work ingmen are entitled to all that can be forced from employers and extort ed from the people by employers is not the best way to promote the per manent welfare of labor.—New York World. Effects Of a Tie-Up .It is calculated that if a. general tie- up and ,paralysis of all freight traffic should result from the demand of the freight trainmen for an increase of 25 per cent in their wages, a large num ber of the poorer people of New York City would face starvation within three days; in other words, these people have available supplies of food for not more than two days ahead. Other large cities would face like con ditions. Milk supplies would be cut off, and babies dependent on the daily milk jar for sustenance would be left to perish. The distress would reach all classes everywhere, and more especially the working people because factories necessarily would be shut down on account of inability to'•se cure raw material or to ship finished products. '* It ju st takes these tw o lines to fill up this little hole. . r. G u a ra n te To be more than a mere ‘"scrap of paper,” a guaran tee must be absolute—and backed by a. concern able and willing to make it gcx d. The General’s guarantee b not only absolute; it is backed by a business operating the world’s largest roofing mills,and making c ue-tliird of all the roll roof ing made in America. Tkat’s the guarantee behind Cerim Iimss Roofing The guarantee is for 5,10 or 15 years, according to ply (1,2 or 3). There is no evasion about it—no attempt to sub stitute a high-sounding somet!

Its raw materials and method of manufacture are both certified by the General’s board of graduate chemists, and he knows he’s taking no chance in guaranteeing them to you.- That’s what “CERTAIN TEED” means—certified and guaranteed. Experience proven that the guarantee is conservative, and that CER TAIN-TEED will outlast the period of guarantee. The roofing felt, as it comes bone dry from the rollers, is given a thorough saturation of a special blend of soft asphal^; the formula of the General’s board of expert chemists.

A farmer that we used to know q u i t e w e a a l w a y s p u t ^ l ^ ^ e ^ t a sack of guano and th ree or four loads of stable yard manure. His garden covered about one-fifth of JJn ^ JLtl4? f0r land to begin with. In fact, he had selected a good, rich spot of ground for his garden. The fertilizer he applied amounted to a thousand pounds per acre, and the barnyard manure to about, seven or_ eight tona:® ° * ^ grew a good garden, as most people do, and yet he often good garden was so much better than other parts of his term. He was_ a g od. farmer and made plenty of everything, and to spare. He knew that he mad liberal applications of fertilizers and manures to his. garden, but was never quite willing to acknowledge that these made all the difference In the yields. Our gardens are usually the richest spots on the farm, and are bo only be cause we m ake them, so by fertilization and Cultivation. Eyeiy a c r e J ? average farm could.be made just, as rich if we tried to make It so. We do not consider sufficiently the factors which make fertile land. We do not strive to do intensive fanning, but rather make it as extensive as our acres will allow. When we wish to make an additional bale of cotton, or bushel of corn, we take in more land instead of enriching what is already under cultiva- °°Drt L. H. Bailey has given in his book. "The Principles of Vegetable Garden ing,- some valuable suggestions on the use of commercial fertilizers. The kind and amount of fertilizers,” he says,- “are to be determined by several circumstances: (I) The earliness or quickness with which the crop is to he obtained • (2) the intensity of the operations to which the man is committed; (3) the character of the land as regards tilth and texture; (4) the character of the land as regards richness in -plant food; (5) the kind or. species of .crops to be raised." Whatever the condition of the land or the nature of the crop, it must be fertilized if the gardener meets with success. Competitlomin the truck-growing, business can be met in no other way than by liberally fertiliz- ing the ground on which the crops grow. Dr. Bailey has wisely said that fertilizers must be applied in excess of the actual needs of the plants. Itds impossible to distribute a very small quantity of fertilizers ever a large area. Vegetables are such rapid growing plants that one need not fear that much of the fertilizer will leach out through the soil on account of rain. If it is applied close to. or in the drill row, all of It .. should be saved. The plants will absorb it before it gets away. The formula generally recommend ed consists of a complete fertilizer, though the acid' phosphate and nitrogen should come from different sources, even In the same-fertilizer applied at any given time. The mixture for gardens should be composed of as many kinds of Ingredients as possible, carrying the three fundamental elements of plant food—potash, nitrogen and phosphoric , acid. Voorhees recommends heavy applications of such mixtures to the com mercial gardens and to truck patches. ’ He says 1,000 to 5,000 pounds per acre of such mixture should be applied to asparagus, and as much to beetB and turnips; less than that to peas and beans. With any. amount an after applica tion has been found'profitable. This, is sometimes Called the second applica tion, which is not generally a complete fertilizer, but is composed of nitrogen, or one of the other elements alone. The.second application of fertilizers may ' be composed of ammonia and acid, or other formula to suit the immediate crop.Garden vegetables need large applications of fertilizer because any check In their growth produces inferiority in quality. It:, is .said by Dr. Bailey that any delay in the growth of lettuce or radishes will generally cause a pungent flavor or sharp taste'- that is undesir able. It cut down the market value. The way to remove any cause for this is to fertilize well and properly and then cultivate. The turnip is made very inferior when there is a check in growth. The vegetables that are thus stunt ed seem to revert to the original type from which they were derived, especial ly with regard to taste, and hence should be carefully looked after in regard to fertilization and cultivation. Fertilizers should be applied to the vege table garden as early after the spring breaking as possible, as the soil ought to be saturated_with rich plant food before the plants begin to grow very much. Then they will, grow much more rapidly and make far better vege tables. The second application should be made about the tim e the young plants are half grown. This is as definite as a statement regarding this practice can be made. Fof all prize crops, a third and fourth, application is made, and with telling effects. No one caa deny that the vegetable garden |s the one place in which large dividends can be made from the use of com mercial fertilizers.. UGH! CALOMEL MAKES YOU SICK.

It Js well known that the economic factor has been and must still be the mainspring of the cotton manufactur ers’ progress, as of all other Industrial enterprises; but this does not shut out consideration of employees, whose health and safety affect the long re sult.

Akron, O., May 15.—At least nine persons were killed and nearly- a score injured early this evening when the old Beacon Journal building, oc cupied- by the Crystal Restaurant, collapsed as a result of a blast of dynamite in an adjoining evacuation. Seven identified bodies have been recovered and two unidentified have been recovered and two persons, now missing, are thought to be in the ruins. Battery B., Ohio National Guard Field Artillery, was called out to aid the poiice in restraining a crowd of more than 10,000 persons who packed the streets where the accident oc curred. A tremendous roar,, echoing the screams of dying people, brought thousands to the scene, in the heart of Akron’s business district. Instant ly the entire city, rallying under the shock, plunged to the work of rescue. A great piie of ruins, broken timbers, twisted steel and tons of brick and mortar buried the victims* who a moment before were dining m the restaurant. Only two or three of the diners escaped. Blasts of dynamite set off in an excavation for a new building direct ly north of the restaurant unsettled the foundation. The restaurant was a one-story structure, with a two- story false front and the latter top* pling backward added a weight of many tons to the falling roof. A dynamite charge set off SO feet away from the restaurant a few minutes before the disaster is be lieved to have been the direct cause. Rheumatism.

Our Sunday school, although it has been attended very well, was not what we wished it to be; so several Sundays past, our Superin tendent, Mr. T. I.

Immediately after classes as sembled, the teacher of the Jr. Baraea class came in and challeng ed us to a contest lasting until the' last of May. After bearing the rules that were to govern our con test, provided we did not wish to change them, we accepted the chal lenge, W & then consiViered each rnle separately And adopted the following: .- Each class shall be awarded 50 poiuts for each^ new member, 50 points for the best average attend ance, 50 points for the best average collection, 50 points for the class who has more to study the lesson, 75 points extra for every member who doesn’t miss a Sunday during jthe contest.

We do not like the primary plan and we expect to see it abandoned, for we have a notion that our peo pie generally will not take to it. In the first place, and the most im portautrplace, ifcdoes not. appeal to a modest aud 9elf respecting citizen who ont to represent his people in the General Assembly. It was hard euongh to iuduce good meu to run noder the old plao. It will be niueli harder to get them ont under the uew. The giving up of one sixth of the year by busy men, on pay that, will not begin to cover their expenses, for the public ser vice, is a considerable sacrifice; but to expect these men to b°g for the nomination and put up $5 for the sake of getting in the race is rather more Ihan human nature can stand. Under the pressure of the hour strong men have been pressed into service, but these men are not going to walk up in cold blood and make a race for the nomination with the probability of a second or a third race for the same thing. We have never un derstood why our leaders have clamored so long and so persist ently for the primary. So far as we have observed, there has never been any very strong demand for it among the people. For some reason or other those in authority have long wanted it. They claim that it is in accordance with the spirit of democracy. We cannot so see it. It strikes us that it af fords the finest opportunity in the world for the demagogue. It is the man seeking the office writ large. -Th«4hing ,may.Work where the ok. lice has a large salary attached, like a seat in Congress or in the Governor's council, but we fear it will play havoc with the ^LegisIa ture, and fill it with men who have nothing to do at home, and who revel in a little brief authority. We may have the thing all wrong, but that is the impression made on at least one mind. The final objec tion may not be based on reason, but it is an objection nevertheless: It reminds us too mnch of South Carolina. Whooping Congh.

In a sermon that bristled with pungent truths, Dr. William Black at First Presbyterian church last Wednesday evening took occasion to pay his respects to the tax dod gers- He remarked th a t: ax listing time was now at hand and plead with bis bearers to make an honest estimate of the worth of their prop erty. Some men, he said, would give in their household goods at $100, including a $100 piano, and if they should happen to be burned then they claim $300- from the in surance company. A cow that was sworn at tax listing time to be worth only $25 wontd immediately jump in value to $75 if she should happen to wander on a railroad track and get killed. W hile pay ing his respects to the tax dodgers, Dr. Black remarked that tbe way the people of the conntry bad'been trying to break up the railroads through unjnst claims was a shame. He said some folks would ask $15, 000 or $20,000 for an immaterial injury that probably tbe road wad in uo way responsible for.

It was written by William Allen White, editorof the EmDoria, (Kan.) Gazette, for Har per’s Magazine. Mr. W hite’s words, in part, are: But the biauty and the joy of our papers and their little worlds is that we who live in the country towns know our own heroes. Who knows Murphy in New York? Only a few. Yet in Emporia we all know Tom O’Conner—aud love him. Who knows Morgan in New York! One rnau in a hundred thousand. Yet in Emporia who does not know George Newman, onr banker; and merchant princet Boston people pick up their morning papers and read with shuddering horror of the crimes ot their daily villain, yet read without that fioe thrill that we have when we hear that Al Lndorph is in jail again in Empo ria. For we all know A l. We’ve ridden in his hack a score of times. And we take np onr paper with the btory ot his frailties as readers who begin the narrative of an old friend’s adventures. Our papers, our little country papers, seem drab and miserably provincial to strangers, yet we who read them read in tbeir lines the sweet, intimate story of life. And all these touches of nature make us wondrous and kind. It is the country newspaper, bringing to gether daily the threads of the town’s life, weaving them into something rich and strange and setting the pattern as it weaves, directing the loom and giving the elothitajcolor byjmixing the lives . of all people in its color pot—it is this conntry newspaper that re veals us to ourselves, that keeps our country hearts quick, and onr country minds open, and our coun try faith strong. When the girl at the glove coun ter marries tbe boy in tbe whole sale house the news of their wed ding is good for a forty line wed ding notice, and the forty lines in the country paper give them self respect. When in due eourse we know that their baby is a twelve pounder, named Grover or Theo dore or Woodrow, we have that neighborly feeling that breeds the real democracy. When we read of death in that home we can mourn with them that mourn. W henwe see them moving upward into the worln into a firm and out toward the countiy club neighborhood we rejoice with them that rejoice. Therefore, men and brethren, when you are riding throngh this vale of tears upon the California limited and I y chance pick up the little country newspaper with its meager telegraph service ot 3,000'or 4,000 words or at best 15,000 or 20.000; when you see its array of country side items, its interminable local stoiies, its tiresome editorials on the waterworks, the schools, the street railroad, tbe crops and the city printing, don’t throw down the contemptible little rag with the verdict that there is nothing in it. But know this, and know ft well: If you could take the clay from your eyes and read the little paper as it is written you would find all of God’s beautiful, sorrowing, straggling, aspiring world in it, and what you saw-would make you ’ touch tbe little paper with rever ent bands.

I I BEST PAID MEN ARE NOW ASKING FORHjGHERPAY Government Offieials Fail To Find Justice In Demands Of Train Ser vice Employees. By Judson C. Welliver in The Wash ington Time* Administrative and legislative au thorities in Washington are taking a distinctly different views of the pres ent effort of railway trainmen to compel an advancement in their wages, from any that has been taken on former occasions. It is very apparent that the case for the employes seeking higher wages is viewed with less amiability than ordinarily.) I n legislative cir cles there has recently been serious talk of legislation to prohibit strikes by employes of interstate carriers, and to provide a procedure for com pulsory arbitration. The impression has gained a good deal of ground, that certain favored classes of employes have for a long time been systematically aggregating to themselves most of the increases in wages. Highest Faid Class Of Men On behalf ot the enginemen and trainmen who are making the de mand for a large wage increase, it is urged that the higher cost of living Justifies their demand. -Yet these men, the engineers, firemen, conduc tors and brakemen, are the highest paid classes of railroad labor. The question being asked why an engineer getting an average wage in 1913 of $6.20, should require an increase, while trackmen, who were getting $1.5S per da}', should he left out? Again.’the average wage of conduc tors in 1913 i3 -shown by the statistics of the -Interstate Commerce Commis sion to have been $4.39 per day. At the same time, telegraph operators and dispatchers were getting an aver age wage of $2.52 per day. If the increased cost of living for . the $4.39 conductor necessitates a large increase in his compensation, where does the $2.52 dispatcher come in? No demand is being urged on be half of the operators and tlispal.cliers, and some of the railroads have lately been intimating vigorously that if a big additional burcfhn must be laid on their labor funds they would like to give the benefit to the poorer paid classes of employes. The truth of the whole business is that, as a whole, the railroad em ployes of the country are not very highly paid as compared to other peo ple. A few classes of railroad men are paid very high wages. The most fortunate of all these classes are the engineers, firemen, conductors and brakemen. Rate Rising Rapidly Not only are these four classes paid much more liberally than other em ployes, but the figures show that their, rate of wages has been rising more rapidly ,than that of any other classes. = In 1914 the Interstate Commerce Commission’s report showed the num ber of railroad employes for the en tire country to be 1,710,296. Out of this number there were 62,021 en gineers, 64,959 firemen, 48,201 con ductors,' and 136,809 other trainmen; a total of 311,990, or just about one- sixth of the entire number. At that same date, the number of trackmen, exclusive of foremen, was 337,451. That is, the number .of com mon laborers on the section was greater than the entire roll of en gineers, firemen, conductors, and brakemen. Yet this huge army of trackmen was working for. an aver age wage of $1.58 per day, while en gineers- Were SbttjnS $5.20, firemen were getting $2.13, conductors were getting $4.39; aiid other- trainmen " were getting $3.04. These figures are the commission’s averages for the en tire country. Condition Bettered largely because they are the best organised classes or railway workers and have been unremitting in their demands for better wages, these four classes have succeeded in bettering their condition rapidly and regularly, at the expense of the other classes, which are not so highly organized. The trainmen, whenever they insist on a wage increase, have, on their side, the tremendously potent argu ment that if they don’t get what they ask, they can walk out and tie up the whole railroad system. No other class of employes could do this, be cause no other is . so instantly- indis pensable. -How effectively the four favored classes .have, used thdir power Jji shown by the ‘ cold figures. In the ten years from 1903 to 1912, inclusive, the salaries of general officers ;a* creased an average of'17 per cent. In that same ten-year period the salaries of engineers . increased £8 per cent. ,, During those same ten years Wages-Of general office clerks incrsr.s- ed 13 per cent, while the wages of firemen increased 32 per cent. Dnring those same ten • years the Wages of telegraph operators and dis patchers Increased 14 per cent, while those of trainmen other than conduc tors increased 36 per cent. impressive Statement Here Is an impressive statement ef ' ’ ' " ' * ' * "w 531—J1-11-2—U.'_'I— fact about railway wages that ought not to escape attention. There were a total of 37,873 employes classified as switch tenders, crossing tenders, and watchmen. These were receiv- ing in 1912 an average of $1.70 per day, which ,was actually 6 cents a day less than they had been receiv ing ten;--years earlier. At that time there were 48,201 con ductors with whom the statistics dealt The conductors, therefore, were only a slightly more numer ous class than the tenders and watch men; yet, while the conductors had had their wages raised from $3.38 to $4.29 per day, the less fortunate class of tenders and watchmen had to stand a reduction from $1.76 to $1.70 per day. If the cost of living has been stead ily advancing for conductors, so as to .justify an increase of 27 per cent In their wages, it seems difficult to ex plain why that same cost of living should have fallen sufficiently to war rant a decrease of 3 per cent in the wages of switch tenders, crossing tenders, and watchmen. Take the single classification of general office clerks. There were 87,106 of these according to the of ficial report A much-larger number than of either engineers, .firemen, or conductors. These general office clerks were paid an average of $2.2i per day in 1903, and of $2.50 in 1912; an in crease of only 13 per cent in the ten- year period. General office clerks, without ex ception, are compelled to live in cities, where the cost of living is high. Engineers Better Off Engineers, on the other band, are distributed between large towns and small towns; on the average,' their living circumstances ought to make their expenses average considerably less than those of office clerks, yet the statistics show that engineers have received in the ten-year period an increase of 24 per cent in their wages, making them average exactly $5 per day, while general office clerks have received an increase of only 13 per cent, making them aver age $2.50 per day. One of the worst underpaid classi fications of railway employes is that of the station agents. There are just about 40,000 of these -in the country, or nearly as many as the number of conductors. In 1903 station agents averaged $1.80 a day, and in 1912 they bad been raised to only $2.20 a day, while ' in that same time conductors had I advanced from -$3.2S to $4.20. That is, the station agent In 1912 was getting just about half the wages of the conductor, and in ten years he had had an average increase of 17 per cent, while the "conductor’s ini- crease had been 27 per cent. __ Here are two of the most numer ous classes of railway employes: Trainmen, other than engineers, firemen, and conductors, numbered 136,809, while trackmen numbered 337,451. The statistics show that the (rackmen were" getting In 1903- an average of $1.31 per day, and in 1912 an average of $1.50 per day, an in crease of 14 per cent. What Others Got - On the other hand, the classifica tion of other trainmen was gettmg in IDAll WAY STMKE 1903 $2.17 per day, and in 1912, $2.96 I U U t l i n I W I IU im k per day, an increase of 36 per cent. In percentage, this is the largest ad vance received by any single class of railway employes during this decade. A general survey of wage condl- _ _ _ _ _ _ tions in the railway seiwice and in j Farmers’ Prices; Stop In- _ Li 44 Sm - HaI iattoA ivmiTit w 9 _____ WOULD INFUCT STAGGERING LOSS other industries, it is believed, would show that In the last fifteen years the highly organized and favored classes of railway wage earners have had their incomes increased more than almost any other.class of work ers in the country, while the much more numerous, but lass effectively organized classes of railway workers have probably received rather less increases than other industrial work ers-in general. - In view of the strong feeling that these most fortunate classes of the railway employes are now making excessive and unreasonable demands, attention is now being called as never before to these general dis crepancies. There is a strong dis position, to inaugurate a general and sweeping inivestigation of the whole question of railway wages with a view to establishing some sort of pub lic regulation not unlike that already applied to railroad rates, in the in terest of employes and pnblic alike. Meanwhile, there is. a_marked indis position to extend further favors Rt those classes already most highly favored, at the expense of Othv classes of employes who appear to bo getting very low wages. .............. Rank Nonsense. It Is the rankest nonsense for TOe Trainman to. pretend that the public has nothing to do with this business. The public has everything to do with it, as the brotherhoods will find, If they refuse arbitration and cast'con- servatism to the winds. The most cowardly government could not, in that case, shrink from its. supreme duty of keeping the national high ways open to commerce.— New O r leans Times-Picayune. Freight Accidents Decrease. The use of the huge new locomo tives and the long and heavy trains, against which the Brotherhoods of freight trainmen, who are asking an enormous increase In wages, protest so vigorously, seems to have resulted in a rapid decrease In accidents to railroad employees, and a decided in crease in their safety. The number of railway employees killed In ser vice diminished from. 620 In 1911 to 452 in 1914, and the ~ number of in jured from 6601 to 4823. Thirty per cent of all accidents, dm to the inherent recklessness, careless ness and disobedience of rules upon the part of the workmen themselves, must be eliminated by educating the ____ rank and file Cf employees out of In- ed to operate. etinctive recklessness into intuitive caution. This can be done only by developing In our shops a high degree duatry And Face Citiea With Starvation New York--On one point related to the demands of the unions of train service employes for a heavy increase in wages the. sentiment of the general public has been expressed in no un certain terms. That is on the ques tion of a strike. Declarations have come from every quarter that an interruption of trans portation wifi not be tolerated by the pubUc, but win caU forth drastic ac tion. The enormous injury to the country that would result from a na tion-wide strike of train service em ployes is discussed by a writer in the March National Magazine, from which the following extract is taken; What such a strike would mean to the American people cannot be set forth in mere facts and figures. It can be dimly Imagined by those who realize what an intimate and vital part railway transportation plays in every industrial activity of the coun try.There is scarcely a person in any part of the land who would not be immediately affected if the million# of busily turning wheels on our nearly three hundred thousand miles of railway were to stop for a single dav If the tie-up continued for a week, the blow to the industry of the . country would be greater than that caused by any- panic of recent history. To the big cities of the coun try,-and particularly to the cities of the eastern seaboard it would mean a cutting off of the food, supplies that would place the inhabitants virtually in a state of siege.. In the case of many food products these cities do not carry on band a stock sufficient to feed their people for more than a week, and in the case of some, such as milk and fresh vegetables, supplies are replenished daily. The stoppage of transportation, therefore, would mean suffering and want to these city dwellers, and if continued for long would threaten many of them with actuaT starvation.To the farmers of the country, a general railroad strike would be a catastrophe, only less serious. Cut off from his market, the farmer could not move his produce, and the price of grain and other staples would be quickly cut in two, which the market value of more perishable articles would disappear entirely. The great industrial plants of the country would soon be forced to close down follow ing the declaration ot a strike be cause they could not obtain supplies needed for their operation, nor could they ship their finished products to m arket Their plants would soon be Idle, and millions of men would be thrown out of work. With the in- csme. Pt .practically even? cteaa ofWOzenff-eltEer sefrSuaTT CUt JfeWb or suspended entirely, merchants would transact little business, because there would be few purchasers.

If he 13 a free man. unshackled by the chains of a po litical party; if he dares to assume bis inalienable right to think for hiinself and act for himself he can not vote for his choice in North Carolina. The prini.tiy knocks him out. We explained how old we were; where we came from; where, we lived—and then was asked onr politics. Happily we were proud to say that we owed allegiance to no poli tical party. That God Almighty and the flag of oar country was onr only creed, and then we were in, formed by Registrar Miiior that we couldn’t take part in the primary. In other word9: We have been a resident of this state for some twenty-Sve years off and on ai;d mostly on; we have done as' much as any cfther man to boost, it, and to assist in its material growth; «e bare tried to be a law abiding citi zen, and have paid onr taxes and bought property—but because we dared to tell the truth—to proudly say that we were independent in our politics—we were, at onee dis qualified as a voter. We wooJd like to know, really and honestly, what, the true man* hcod ot North Carolina, that part not blinded by partisian politics, and the hope of pie. thiuks of such an infamous proceeding. We would like to know how any party ean justify such a law.? We would like co know why a citizen cannot vote for his choice when the primary decides who shall 1 unt It virtually says that you..must stand upland, be shackled. Tou must surrender your independence; you must do what the politician* tell you, or you can’t express yourself. And if yon do not want to subscribe to the platform of some party—and today there are forty kinds of democrats and republicans, you cannot vote. Yon are put in tbe .class with the nigger who couldn’t locate his grandfather. In this state we have always be lieved it best to vote the democratic ticktC in county and state elections, with a few exceptions. We sup ported Grover Cleveland for the presideacj b?(au e we believed him to be the biggest man of his time. VTe have twice supported Bryan in this state; we have supported Brooksand Stedman and other de uiocrats—but have always reserved the right to vote for whomever we pleased. -And it is, indeed, a pretty pass when a man, uoless he swears alle giance to some political party; can not vote for men of his choice to make-laws to protect his person and his property. It is indeed, a pretty pass when a citizen is dis qualified because be refuses to tell a He in order to enjoy the ballot.

Democratic party will favor a Tariff that gives the American laborer a degree of Protection com mensurate with -the higher stand ards of living in this country and the increased cost of production, tbe Tarill question will stay out of politics. The Republicans believe in a n -‘America First” Tai iff. It isn’t a partisan question; it is a question of patriotism and good business sense. Tnere is no reason why the Democrats should keep tbe question in politics by trying to destro> American industry—an effort tbe IiepUblicans feel it tbeir duty to oppose. Since President W ilsou is’so adept iu changing his mind, let him change it on this, and use bis influence for the enact- meut of a law that will insure 1 he stability of Amerietti industry after the war is over, and the Taritf question will lie speedily removed from.politic.4. With that question removed, we shall be able to dis the mismanagement of foreign affairs, 1 he demoralization of the postal service, the extravagance ol Iber Stlministration, the folly ot government ownership and Ihe as m ult upon the cifil service, with out pabhc attention being diverted to. foreign competition or revenue measures.—Carpzoza^N. M.) Out look. Siraage Things Come to Pass. The State'of Lonisana is a sugar producing State, represented by 1 solid delegation of Democrats in House and Senate. Her people want protection from the market ing of foreign sugars here by means of an import duty, not so much for revenue as for real, actual, Protec tion, and their two Senators fought the Underwood Tariff law on ac count of the free sugar danse, and on September Scb, 1913, when the proposed law was under discussion in tbe Senate,'Senator Bansdell (Dem. La.,) addressing the Senate, said: Mr. President, without claim ing the gift of prophecy, I say nn hesitatingly that in my judgment, before the three years have rolled around which will place sugar upon the free list, dismantle the factories in Loui6iaua, condemn thousands ^f people there who are now in easy circumstances, to poverty and distress, and bring ruin upon a great many engaged in sugar pro duction in our Western States, Hawaii and Porto Rico, tbe Demo cratic party will hear from this people of this.nation in no uncer tain tones.” This promoted Senatoi James of Kentucky to remark dolefully that Senator Ransdell was headed straight for Ihe Republican party, an^now we see the large Kentucky Senator and all cf bis Democratic colleagues except ten, headed in the same direction with Senator Rausdell. Well may we ask—where are we at” when such strange things come to pass. The excuse is that we need the revenue. Sugar produces a.revenue of fifty million dollars per year. We didn’t think we would need it but we do. The stamp lajf and the'fncome tax to;’ gether with the Tariff for reveuue only on muchly increased imports is not sufficient for the needs of this Democraticadministration and we must readopt a Republican Tariff which we had repealed be cause we wished to be faithful to our Democratic instincts. So we did and then undid it.—Hopkins yille (Ky.) News.

Uncle W alt Ma^on, in tbe daily, papers la-t week, was saying: ‘•Of ali the divers brands of joy that, make onr journey sunny, of all tbe bliss without alloy, tbere’s none like spending money. It’s well to put away a wad, against the rainy weather, it’s well, when hard times are abroad, to bnve some coins together. Bnt when you’ve salted down a roll of ses terces and talents, then, to invigo rate your soul, go out and blow tbe balance. Dou’t let the saving habit grow, until you are a miser: salt down a part, a portion blow—tbat policy’s the wiser. I like to toddle to the bank and put some bones in pickle; I like to save, but I’m no crank on saving every nickel. I like to take the extra plunk, at.d to tbo mart go flying, and buy a lot of useless junk, just for the sake of buying. I like to whisper to the clerks, -Get busy, boysf, get busy.’ I’ve come to buy the whole blamed works, aud make you fellows diz- !” Of ail the standard brands of tliss, that fill our lives with honey, there’s surely nothing equals ibis—the blowiug in of moneyl” And Uncle W alt was right as' regards the feelings of the average American citizeo. We Americans are fond of spending our money, and some of our. 'crafty citizens realizing this, have provided num erous ways of selling. How many winter evenings do you find in the rural districts the family grouped about the sitting room table reveling iu the beauties pictured in the catalogues of the mail order bouses. Marvelous are the ways that are offered by t-bese houses for spending onr money, and many are thethard .earned dollars tbat go for the1 purchaser of the pic tured beauties. It money burns holes in our pockets, and we must relieve Oureelves of our coin,- we should place it where we will at least get the results in a better town and connty, that is, patronize home merchants.

Do It Now. The principal argument of the Fiee Traders seems to be tbat with Europe in war a higher Tariff is not needed now. This, of coune, follows the same logic used by the Arkansas man who refused to patch' 1119‘roof in dry weather because it didn’t need it, then. When it rained be couldn’t do the work be cause it was t»o wet.

' Some of our Democratic breathren are cussing the new primary law. It may be all right, but it seems to us that it is going to cost a pile of money to find out who is to land at -the pie counter. The fellows who get the jobs are the ones who ought to pay the fiddler. NextSaturday is the day when - three hearts will be made sad and rnie heart made glad. While we have nothing to do with the matter, still we are betting that Varner will be nominated for Congress from this district, or that a second primary will be inflicted upon the people. TheRepublicansof Davie county can go to the primary next Saturday and vote for their choice for presi dent or they can stay at home. Owing to the fact that there is but one man in the race for Congress and one man for State Senator on the Republican ticket, we have no .contests and it is not necessary to vote. It is about time the Winston papers would give us another re port on the scarlet fever-diptheria situation in : Winston-Salem. The Davie people are still afraid to go to the Twin-City.

His work forgood road sand his connection with the journalistic field has made him a National figure of prominence. Itisgenerally sup p e d that for the first two o r three terms, anew congressman does not become known beyond the congress ional isle.on which his seat happens to be located. This would not be the case if we do our duty by our district and send Vamer as our re presentative. He would do - things for oor district. - . . .He has too much good hard horse sense to “butt in” and break estab lished precedents and usages, but he already knows more about depart mental wwk and how to secure things for constituents than many men who have served a number of terms in congress. The seventh dis trict would truly have “a friend at court” in Vamer at Washington. Ibelieveit was the-great Vance who suggested that the horse doing the pulling should be rewarded by a portion of the provender created by his efforts. This is true in mat ters political no less than to m atters agricultural Vamer has pulled the democratic plow since before he was of voting age. He hasn't been doing this two or three inch plowing either. The coulter-affixed to his plow stock has even been one that moved the maximum' amount and sank to its fullest depth. So far as I am informed) the only office he has ever held was that of Commis sioner of Labor. A reference to the records will readily show that he rendered such service to the citizens and business interests to the state while in that position as to constitute in a full measure, "value received.” ' .Inconclusion letm e say this; we the voters of this -district have an opportunity which we can not afford to throw away. When we have a true friend, as we-have in this in stance, it would be foolish for us to fail to grasp the opportunity of se curing his services. A congressman is the servant of bis constituents. When we employ a man- to do a piece of work for us on the farm or elsewhere, we always enquire into or work to Stocethe commencement of the present campaign which will result his fitness for the in the selection of a candidate to re- j be done and if found satisfactory Sresent thistheseventh district of ;'we employ him.

W IPl I' «k,'.&$ Yi \ tK r - CRISIS FOR ROADS IN THE MOVEMENT FOR HIGHER WAGES Would Add Millions to Expenses Of Southeastern Lines—Public ' VIUIIy Interested. Washington, D. C.—"The railways of the southeast are facing a critical situation In the proposed demands of the engineers’, fiiremen’s, conductors' and trainm en's Brotherhoods which have joined in a nation-wide effort to force the railways of the country to grant further wage concessions,, which would add millions of dollars to the payrolls of the railways with out enabling them to earn a cent more than under present conditions or to in any way give better service to the public,’’ declares a statem ent given out by the executive committee of the southeastern railways. “The demands of the Brotherhoods are generally referred to as demands for an eight hour day and time and a. half for overtime, but they are not in reality for an eight hour day in the sense in which that term is com; monly understood/” the statem ent continues. “The employees are not asking that they be relieved from service at the end of eight hours, as they realize that this is not practi cable in road service, and the form in which the demands have been made clearly shows this. More Pay For Overtime “Thus the language of their own proposed demands is that on runs of one hundred miles or less overtime will begin at the expiration of eight hours. This simply means that if a freight train requires, as it usually does, at least 10 hours to run 100 miles, the train and engine employei shall receive their day’s pay for eighl hours of work and shall receive time and a half fo r.th e two additional ' hours. ■ “There is not a line In the pro posals concerning road service that In any way limits the number of- hours the employees are to work, and their proposition simply resolves Itself into fixing the period at which overtime begins to accrue and after which they shall receive time and a half Instead of their regular hourly rate. : "In a discussion of ’ the proposed demands In the official journal of the Trainmen’s organization, the follow ing explanation of the demands is given by one of the vice-presidents of -that Brotherhood: , ‘“ There appears to he some difference of opinion as to what such a proposal involves, therefore it may be seasonable to say that there is quite a difference between an eight-hour work-day and an eight-hour basic work-day.“ ‘The first contemplates that eight hours shall be the maximum working time, and as a rule where the eight- hour work-day obtains through contract relations bet#een employer and employes, it is thp constant endeavor to prevent working -overtime except in cases of necessity. It appears that some of the men In the train service are of the opinion that this is the proposal of the organizations. How ever, this Is not the case. The second, the eight-hour basic work-day contemplates that eight hours shall be the basis for a day’s work and any time in excess thereof shall be , paid for as overtime, consequently under such a provision there is no limit to the hours worked. The latter system is the one proposed by the train service Brotherhoods and Is In accord with the action taken by the delegates, at the Eleventh Biennial: Convention of the Brotherhood Of Railroad Trainmen.’ 8 ame Work, More Money "The proposals of the employees, as ln reality -formulated and official ly^ . explained in the above citation, simply mean that they shall be paid ihore money than at present for the same work they are now doing. The m atter, . therefore, resolves itself primarily into a question of wages and. consequently .of increased cost. “Applying the proposed demands to the present conditions of work would mean an increase ranging from 14 to 40 per cent in cost, as the roads would be compelled in most cases to continue the present hours of .opera tions since changes to escape the payment of overtime would cause a higher percentage of increase than tfce figures already given. ' VITPhe railways of the southeast are lii no condition to stand any increase In 'their operating expenses, much less such increases as would result from granting these demands. Iliey already pay higher wages to train and engine employees than are paid In . other sections of the country where traffic is mnch more dense, and they have had no part In the . iS ti; Increases which recently have been granted by the Interstate Com merce Commission to railways In oth er territories. J "Preliminary estimates show that on some lines the increases asked by Uia employes would more than wipe ‘ out all income after !payment of operating expenses,' fixed charges and taxes. The railways would be forced either to secure Increases Ia their rates or to lower their cost of . operation by curtailment of train ser- . and reducing the outlay for malc- ' lice and Improvement necessary the-tranaportatlon needs of he tMiidly iiieveloplng southeastern territory. ! “This Is a question In which the whole public has a direct and Tlbii' interest. The railways of the south- merely ask of the public tU t .lt' tafonB ttaelf of the real nature of:-tiie jropoMd’ demands, and of the ability TWds^to meet them.” FIRE DOORS AND SHUTTERS LSss by Recent Raleigh Flre WouM Have Been Small Had Bulldlnfla Been Properly Equipped. • Ofie of the lessons of the recent Am In Baleigh was to show the import ance of having property within the fire district protected by fire doors and shutters and in seeing that the buildings were not only thus equipped, but that the doors and shutters were kept in working condition and properly closed each night. The loss by this Are would have been1 small if even the new buildings had been properly equipped. An examination during the fire showed that many of the fire abut ters were open and the ■ inflammable property inside of the building expos ed to-sparks.

Th* conflagration in Paris again brings the incontrovertible fact to public attention that a fire in a dis trict where shingle roofs predomi nate can readily get beyond control, and when once under way the fire fighting at best can only narrow the path of the fire by flank attacks. The ease with which the conflagra tion spread through the brick-built m ercantile district, although only moderately exposed by the rather thinly built residential section, also illustrates the vulnerability of the normal mercantile section of the American city; the excellent protec tion furnished by wired glass windows and lire doors In the few cases where buildings were properly equipped with them show in .w hat m anner the elimi nation of the danger ' of spreading fires m ust be met.

These rates are paid for any work np to 100 miles, w ith additional pay for overtim e if the run is not completed In the specified num ber of hours. On the other hand, the earnings of employees frequently . exceed these figures as the actual earnings depend upon the number of m iles run and, in the case of te st freight runs, the earnings are much higher for com paratively short hours.- Taking as an illustration a fast freight train running over a division 150 m iles long where the daily run be made in 7 hours, and 30 min- Pennsylvania has the distinction of being the first state to enact the prin- cpile of the law recommended by the National Fire Prevention Association, enforcing personal responsibility for preventable fires.

A sim ilar law has long been enforc ed In Germany, and lias* bad much to do with the notably low loss ratio of Uiat country. The same principle is now being enforced In New Tork City, where judgments have been secured for the cost of firp lighting where the fire was due to failure to comply with the requirements of the ci& fira pre vention bureau. The state fire marsh als agree that three-fourths of the fires are doe to carelessness or lack of compliance .with laws and ordinances. The enforcement of such a law would greatly reduce the number of prevent able fires, would impress upon the public the lesson of personal responsi bility, aud should reduce and equalize the cost of ' maintaining fire depart ments.—Insurance Post. PROGRESS BACKWARDS. Very little attention has been here tofore given to fire prevention either In the construction of buildings or the prevention of fires, and a recent a t tem pt to create interest in these m at ters by the Georgia Fire Prevention Society , was given a cold reception by citizens and city officials alike. The city had formerly had an anti-shingle root ordinance, but this was repealed after about two years :and shingle roof lim its cut down to a comparatively small area, and just-a few weeks be fore the fire the area In which shingle roofs were prohibited was further re duced. Enforcement of any of' the laws has not been evident for many years, although > conditions are better In this respect'at present. The underlying conditions of poor construction which made such a ca tastrophe possible are generally pres ent to a large extent in the remaining part of the mercantile and dwelling districts and are considerably more pronounced In some sections,, of the city which were not destroyed.—Un derwriters’ Report. they are now recouped by tWs Pt premiums, jpln the first —- in ts get about one per cent'lesfcU iui the principal and ’ .in terest' a t tiieir claims, while to the IM ter c&inuwtii gat abriut one: per cent less than the 0 rin- clpal of their claims.
