A History of The Churches That Was Here in The Long Ago. We are now going to write some history, as we can think and remem* her it. about the churches, the preachers and the religion in Davie f,Ovears ago, and compare them with what they are today. To my mind, this is the most im p o rtan t subject of all others put to gether. It means more, and reaches farther than all the others. Because it is the salt by which all others m ost be preserved, be saved. Noth ing can be elevated above the moral standard that actuates it. Besides, it has the special sanction of devine wisdom, and the promised assistance of infinite power. Hasitkept pace with all other subjects, such as finance, society and politics? I answer yes, too much so; because it has gone hand in hand and heart in heart with all these ■ubjects, until one can hardly tell in many respects t'other from which, only by name or label. Hasit accomplished whatit should, what it could and what God intend ed? I answer, no, not by far; be cause it has depended • more upon the wisdom and power of man, than upon the plans, spirit and power of God. This is a hard saving, but it is in accord with prophesy, which puts the blame on man, and not on God. We will demonstrate it along as we take up this subject in its dif ferent phases. Fifty years ago there were only six organized religious denomina tions in Davie. . They were Baptist, three or four churches; two Luther an, one Presbyterian, one Episcopal, about eight or nine Methodist Epis copal, and perhaps two Protestant Methodist. . Other denominations, would occasionally come into the county and preach—the Hardshell Baptists, Quakers, etc. If the de nominations have increased since then, save that of the Campbellite1 or "Christian” church, we do not recall it. There was preaching by these six denominations, especially by the Methodists and Baptists— around at free school houses. The result is, they have increased their organized churches. The Baptist churches then were Fork, Eaton’s and Cross Roads. The Lutherans were one at Jerusalem and St. Matthew in Calahaln town ship. The Presbyterian and Episco pal churches were in Mocksville. The Protestant Methodist were above and near Mocksville. The M. E. churches were at Fulton, Concord. Liberty, Mocksville, “Dutch meet ing house,” Salem, Smith Grove, K’“ ‘ -1 1 one or two others. In those days people went 10 and 12 miles to church. Fork Baptist church for instance: The people, or Baptists on South River, who were members, would go there once a month, both on Saturday and Sun day. And they would go from there to Fulton three miles farther to bap tize. There it was we were bap tized when about 1-5 years old. Je rusalem church was formed, from /ork Church, and is a daughter of jt. Jerusalem and Eaton churches helped to forni Mocksville church, several of us going from Jerusalem and Eaton’s to Mocksville. So it was with other churches; they held membership four and five miles a- way and were as faithful in attend ance then as they are now when on- W ons to two miles away. They went then to worship and not to snow dress, talk news, and discuss nnance as is too much the custom nowadays with too many of us Chris tians or church members. There is a great deal of difference between a mere church member and a Chris- >ian, between reformation and re generation. Christianity has been changed too much to churchanity. the password into all our churches now is; “i Jlope so » 'fhe churches Ilre time-servers; they take members m on credit, with the hope that in ome way they may become Chrisfe- mns and be saved before they die. ine result is, the churches have a- n°ut all they can do now trying to _ave themselves, their variohs or ganizations, and xefy little time to save sinners and thes world outside, thi" 00 j next> wiH spdak of SOtfte^di'' „;B°°d preachers and how . they L ctlcd, and how they ,held reviv.* nincf tlle difference then, run’ l-nv. 011 a spiritual basis and now w„.

Yesterday he wore a rose on the lapel of bis coat, but when the plate Was passed to day he gave a nickel to the lord. He had sever al bills in bis pocket and sundry change, perhaps a dollar’s worth, but be hunted about-, and finding this poor little nickel, be laid it on the plate to aid the church milit ant in its fight against the world, the flesb, and the devil. His silk hat was beneath the seat, and his gloves and caue were aside it, and the nickel was on the plate—a whole nickel. On Saturday afternoon he met a friend, and together they had some refreshments. The cash register stamped thirty- five cents" on the slip the boy presented to him. Peeling off a bill he handed it to the lad and gave him a nickel tip when he brought back the change. A nickel for the Lord and a nickel for the waiter. And the man had his shoes polished on Saturday afternoou and handed out a dime without a murmur. He had a shave and paid fifteen cents with equal al acrity. He took a box of candies home bo his wife, and paid forty cents for them, and the box was tied with a dainty bft of ribbon. Yes, and he also gave a nickel to the Lord. Who is the lord? Who is He! Why, the raau worships Him as a Creator of the universe, the Oue who puts the stars in order, and by whose im mutable decree the heavens stand. Yes, he does, and he dropped a nickel in to support the church, militant. And what is the church milit an t The church militant is the church that represents upon the earth triumphant church of the great God. Aud tbe man knew that he was an atom in space, and he knew that the almighty without limit ations, and knowing this he put his hand in his pocket, and picked out a nickel, and gave it to the Lord. And the Lord beiDg gracious, and slow to anger, and knowing our” frame, did not slay the mean ness of his offeiing, but gives him this day his daily bread. The nickel hid beneath a quart- tkat was given by a woman who washes for 11 living.—Toronto Star. Proper Food For Weak Stomachs. The proper food for one may be all wrong for another. Every one should a- dopt a diet suited to his age and occpa- tion. • Those who have weak stomachs need to be especially careful and should eat slowly and masticate their food throuh- ly. It is also important that they keep their bowels regular. When they become constipated or when they feel dull and stupid after eating, they should take Chamberlain’s Tablets to strengthen the stomach and move the bowels. They are easy to take and pleasant in effect. When in trouble get a lawyer as quickly as you can but for the Bake of your pocket unget him as soon as you can. UNSHAKEN TESTIMONY. Time is the test of truth. And Doan’s Kidney Pills have stood the test. No Mocksville resident who suffers backache, or annoying urinary ills can remain un convinced by this twice-told testimony. Mrs. E. E. Shaw, 458 S. Liberty St, Winston-Salem, N. C , says:“I was attack ed several years ago by a pain across the small of my back. It was very severe for a time, but finally went away, only to re turn several months later. I finally be came convinced that my kidneys were af fected. I had dull headaches and felt mWi-nhle. Two or three boxes of Doan’s Kidney Pills cured me.’, (Statement giv en December 27. 1907.) OVERSIXYEARTLATER1Mrs. Shaw said: "I hold as high an opinion of Doan’s Kidney Rlls today as ever.

Whats the matter bud? Don’t y«u know ever since the war start ed we have been helping. England and fiance? We have loaned them billions of treasure: we have over worked every man who would ac cept a job in making munitions for those two countries; we have practicaly furnished them with half their shells and—well, everything they needed. What’s the matter with that? Of conrse if we declare war we will naturally be obliged to withdraw our supplies from them and use them ourselves. But it looked a better way for us to fur nish the powder and the guns and let them furnish the men who are to be killed. What more can we do than we have done except sacri fice our men? And then in passing it might be well, before Sun concludes that- Germany is coming here to domi nate the United States, to wait un til Germany has whipped Eugland and France and Russia. Up to this hour nothing of that kind has happened, and if we can keep on furnishing England and France with the munitions Germay nev er will whip them—but they will xyijjp Germany.

In the early days of California a thief with his knife slit a hole in a neighboring tent at the head of a buuk, thrust in his arm and ex tracted a bag of gold dust. He was caught with the goods, indict ed for burglary and convicted. His counsel moved for an arrest of judgment and a new trial on the ground that he was not guilty ot burglary, for he had not “ broken into and entered” the premises, as charged in the indicrment. The Court refused to grant a new trial, but said that in passing sentence he would take the peculiar circum- stances into cooperation, He did so. He sentenced tbe arm that en teredthe tent to 1 0 years, impris onment, but accorded to tbe de fendant the option of accompany ing it there or cutting it off, just as he should choose.—Indianapolis News.

There is more Catarrh in this sec tion of the country than all other diseases put together, and until the last few years was supposed to be incurable. For a great many years doctors pronounced it a local dis ease and prescribed local remedies, and by constantly failing to cure with local treatment, pronounced it incurable. Science has proven catarrh to be a constitutional dis ease and t herefore reuires consti tutional treatment. Hall’s Catarrh Curp,: manpfactu red by F. J.

Tfie armies which we shall raise to prosecute our war against Ger many will be secured upon the principle which the President has laid down in his address to Con gress—the principle of universal liability to service. The money which we shall raise to support those armies and to pay the other costs of the war should be secured upon the same prin ciple. We shall have new taxes, as surely as we Bhall have now armies. We shall have an issue of bonds as surely as we shall have a supply of.shells. Intheend it will be taxation which will pay everything —the increase ia immediate ex penditure, the interest charges upon, the bonds and the cost of their ultimate retirement. Every man, woman and child in America now will profit by a vic tory in the war, every man,- wom an and child of generations yet »o come will similarly profit.

Along with other pub lications. a recent circular of the FationalGity Bankl OfNew York, fell into that error. Mr. O B. Cole, of the Cole Millign Company, Chester, 111., whose business was established in 1S391, writes to the National City Bank’s editors to make the proper correction. He say 8 : “In March, 3S67. we paid $3.75 per bushel for wheat and it sold in St. Louis for $ 8 85 per bnshel. This was in depreciated paper money, but I have not the figures for the price of gold a) that. time. “ In March, 1877, wheat sold iu St. Louis for $2 20. This was af ter .resumption of gold payments. ‘ Iu 1857 we sold flour at $19 per barrell at the mill and the same flour retailed in Boston for $24 to $25 per barrel. So you see we are good way from the top yet.” Many people not so very old, says the wilmingion Star, remem ber when flour was from $ 2 0 to $25 a barrel, and they also rem ember that they had quit eating white bread for a long time. They ate corn bread, which cost about as mnch as wheat flour did just prior to the outbreak of the world war in Europe. Even corn bread was a luxury, especially in 1867. when a great drought left tbe South iu almost a condition ot- famine.

SUBSCRIPTION RATES: ONE YEAR. IN ADVANCE - 5 I OO SIX MONTHS, IN ADVANCE - S 50 THREE MONTHS. IN ADVANCE S 25 WEDNESDAY, MAY 2, 1917. The name of the first American gun to sink a German boat was the Theodore Roosevelt. Who says there is nothing in a name? We believe a certain gentleman in this city got hold of the wrong lan tern' last week. It is a hard matter to make the public believe you wrote an article when you know you did not write it. The Charlotte Observer is busy cursing Speaker Clark because he i3 opposed to conscription. We are surprised to find that the Observer editor hasn’t already gone to the front. Hurrv up. friend. The articles that have appeared in The Record recently concerning the churches and those who don’t attend, have resulted in much good, and we ought to receive a few bless ings instead of so much cussing. The town could not get along with out the monied men. They are the backbone of the town. But when it comes to having a voice in affairs of church and state, the poor man is entitled to the same privileges as the rich man. A one-man party or a one-man church is a sorry affair. One of our subscribers on Route 5 writes us as follows: “Enclosed find one dollar to pay for your paper. Your paper is the most successful paper in Davie. It is worth tv o dollars. There’is a good Democrat out here who wants to swap his De mocratic paper for The Record.” A-reward will be paid for the ad dress of the gentleman’-who wiote the following lines: “He will find friends in Mocksville regardless of religious or political affiliations. It seems that some take delight in abusing and villifying the property- owner.” The editor of The Record is not responsible for the views or the cor respondents whose articles appear in this paper from time to time, al though we oftentimes heartily agree with all they have to say. The ar ticles that appear in this column are backed by us but if you want to cuss and abuse anybody for any ar ticle you don’t like, just cuss us, be cause we are used to being cussed and abusfed and don’t mind it It will be good news to the citi zens of the town, county and state to know that the Baptist brethren are preparing to begin the erection of a beautiful church building on their lot on North Main Street, where the old wooden church building now stands. It is hoped that the work can be started by the first of the coming month. We understand that the Methodist brethren will erect an addition to their church this year at a cost of about $3,000. VVe are all proud of the progressive steps be ing taken by these churches. Winston-Salem’s Big Man. I suppose by this time even body in Mocksville, especially tbeshard- working men who have large fami lies, have heard of Mr. Reynolds, President of the R. J. Reynolds Tobacco Co. s In Mr, Reynolds I believe Win ston-Salem has one gentleman, a man who has a heart too-large for himself. Sineethewarbrokeont in the fall of 1914, everything has in creased in piice very rapidly, es pecially shoes, clothing, meat and bread. Mr. Reynolds got more for his products, and like a gentleman and a chrisiian, voluntarily in creased the wages of every work ing mao in his factory 10 percent. Prices continued to advance. A- gaiu Mr. Reynoldsvolnntarily gave another 1 0 per cent, iucrease, and a few days ago the third 1 0 per cent, increase was given. Now a man nuder employment of the R. J. Reynolds Tob. Co., who worked tor $ 2 per day before the war now gets § 2 66 per day without, increas mg bis working hours. Many oth er concerns all over the country have doofe the same as this tobacco company. How about Mocksville’s labor iug men! I am told that some men are getting $1.15 per day. Men with families, strong men, only $1.15, same price paid ten, years ago, war or no war. I . know of one man working .iu the largest lactory iu town, and has been with the company for 16 oi*17 years, a Ioremau getting ouly §160 per day, and the factory couldn’t ^run without him three days. The h- bove.mau has all the responsibility of every piece of goods shipped and works on his books at night to keep up. Can any of the factor ies iu Mocksville p iy more. I am told that their manuleciured pro ducts have advanced from 50 to 1 0 0 per cent., and still advancing. I am informed that they are not paying as much as 10 per cent, more lor raw material as paid since the war started. In times Iikethis it is not right, and the big men behind the hardworking men know it. The laboring class are begin ning to find out what they are up against and waut some of the mon ey made off of them while working for $115 when they should be get IMig $1 75 aud $2. The laborers work from 25 to 50c. per day less than the managers and superin tendents pay negroes to work their gardens and chop wood. A L t BORER. The Record’s Honor Roll.

The Sixteenth Davie County Baraca- Philathea Convention was held at Smith Grove Methodist church Saturday and Sunday. The opening session convened at 3 o’clock Saturday afternoon. Devo tional exercises were conducted by Presi dent Caudell. The address of welcome was delivered by Rev. D. C. Ballard, of farmington, and the response was made by Rev. N. R. Richardson, of Cooleemee. In the absence of Rev. Dodd, of Mocks ville, Prof. John Minor spoke on “Import ance of Junior Work,” and was followed by Prof. Richardson, who spoke on the same subject. At 8 o’clock Saturday evening the se cond session was held. Devotional exer cises were conducted by the President. W. A. Sain, the old Davie Baraca war- horse, was called to the front and made a few forceful remarks, which was en joyed by all present. Miss Lucile Pass, of this city, addressed the audience on “Non-Sunday School At tendance.” Her address was highly com plimented by those present. Miss Lula Miller, of Cooleemee, in a few well-chosen remarks, urged Davie to send a big dele gation to the State Convention at Ashe ville, May 17-20. At this point, the min utes of the last county convention was read, together with the Treasurer's re port. The election of officers for the en suing year was then taken up, and re sulted as follows: President—T. I. Caudell. Vice-President—C. Frank Stroud. 1st Vice-Pres--T. M. Hendrix. 2nd Vice-Pres.—W. A.

Rights, Duke Taylor, Frank Stroud and Misses Florence Atkinson and Mamie Hutchens. The Stfnday morning session was open ed with devotional exercises by Mr1 J. H. Foster, of Smith Grove. Next came the roll call and class reports, which showed the great work the organized classes are doing in the county. State President R. L. Pope, of Thomasville, was present and tood for his text: -“Why you should or ganize Baraca and PhilatheO classes, and how to organize them.” His address was one of the best we have yet heard on this subject. The last session of the convention was called to order at 1:30 Sunday afternoon. A. B. Saleeby, the great Salisbury Baraca was present and took for his subject: "Why we are here.” It is not necessary to say that he handled his subject in a forceful manner. The committee on time and place re ported that the next, convention would be held at Turrentine Baptist Church, on Oct. 27-28. 1917. The closing speech of the convention was made by J. H. Isley. of Cooleemee, whose subject was: “Our Duty to Our Class." His remarks were enjoyed by all those ,present. In conclusion The Record, in behalf of the Convention, wishes to thank the good people of Smith Grove for the kindness and hospitality extended the visiting de: legates. The music was good and the bounteous dinner spread in the school building will long be remembered by this scribe, especially the cake and cherry pie. The editor and family enjoyed the kind hospitality of Mr. and Mrs. J. M. Horn during the convention. Misses Allison And Hunt Entertain.

Washington.—A war revenue meas ure designed to raise not less than $1,500,000,000 by direct taxes during the coming year was reported to the House Ways and Means Committee Tuesday by a sub-committee which had been drafting the bill in secret sessions. .... Reduction of the income tax exemp tions from $3,000, and $4,000 to $l,0i)0 and $2,000 for single and married per sons, respectively, and an increase of the .excess profits tax from eight per cent on all amounts over eight per cent and $5,000 to sixteen per cent are two of the sub-committee’s pro posals. The tentative bill also carries in creased taxes on liquor, beer, cigars, cigarettes and tobacco, new taxes on, automobiles, soft drinks, ammunition places, freight and passenger tariffc and a' stamp tax of wide scope. . Much of the bill follows the lines suggested by Secretary. McAdoo, but many of the most Important proposals are . re jected. The total of the proposed bill falls millions of dollars short of the orig inal figure of $1,800,000,000 to be de rived from taxes this year. Fordney Responsible. Opposition of Representative Ford- ney, of Michigan/ranking Republican member of the committee, to raising more than $1,000,000,000 by direct taxes is largely responsible for. this situation.A bitter fight on the bill In. full committee is certain. Resentment, among some members aroused by the prolonged executive meetings of the committee, coupled with vigorous op position to the income and excess profits tax proposals, make storms in evitable.A new cloud also has appeared In the threat of a Republican member to demand doubling of the present one cent duty on sugar; Secrecy, which has marked sub-com mittee conferences,, will rule in the full committee. Dnprecedented safe- gards are being established against “leaks,” Only one copy of the tenta tive bill for each committeeman has been printed, and an effort will be made to prevent members taking them from the committee room.

The day which had been heavy and threatening as the party approached on the Mayflower, suddenly burst into sunlight which played through (the treee on the unifroms and faces' of those assembled. Without formality, Secretary Dan iels motioned to M. Viviani, minis ter of justice and former president of France, who advanced slowly into the center. Before the -tomb, of Wash ington whose efforts towards liberty his own ancestors had gloriously aid ed, M. Viviana delivered an address, In which the whole forces of his emo tional power, deepened by the signifi cance of the occasion, fought for ex pression. The spectators, though most of them could not understand French, caught the suppressed feeling and fire of the orator and followed his words spell bound as they quickened under the thrill of his imagaination. his voice not a sound could be heard. As M. Viviana fini»hed, the silence became supreme with the general realization that no applause could ex press the emotions aroused.Then came forward Artnur James Balfour, foreign secretary of Great Britain, who stood for a moment in tute the volunteer system throughout the bill. It was rejected by an over whelming roar of “noes.”In the House there was no roll call. The long fight came to a close early in the afternoon when Representative Kahn, of California, -moved to strike out the volunteer provision written in to the bill by hie House Military Com mittee.

Throughout the remainder of the House debate pro-volunteer members frequently reopened discussion of their proposal, the climax coming when Speaker Clark declared he might drive out of his district some of 'those who had urged that he vote for conscrip tion. "A lot of old skunkers all over the country who, think that nobody is go ing to be forced‘ into-this war except, boys from nineteen to twenty-five,” the speaker said, "and that their mis erable, cowardly hides will be safe, have been sending telegrams here.

Washington.—The State Department announced that the French War Mis sion would leave Washington Thurs day to visit Chicago and later would go to Kansas City, St. Louis, Spring field, Iillinois, Philadelphia, New York and Boston. At the conclusion of the tour, the party will return to Wash ington. Members of the Commission, including Rene Viyiana, its head, and Mfphni Jpffre, toe hero of the Marne, will' travel on a special train. Anglo-Saxon countries, Mr. Balfour abandoned. his decision not to speak and gave expression to a few poignant sentences, evidently straight from the heart. England had honored Wash ington as she never had before. “M- Viviani,” said Mr. Balfour, “has expressed in most eloquent words the feelings which grip us all here today. He has not only paid a fitting tribute to a great statesman, but ha has brought our thoughts most vividly down to the present. The thousands who have given their , lives—French, Russian, Italian, Belgian, Serbian, Montengerin, Roumanian, Japanese and British were fighting for what they believed to be the cause of nb- erty. ..“There is no place in the world where a speech for the cause of lib erty would be better placed than here at toe-tomb of Washington... But as that work has been so adequately done by a master of oratory, perhaps you -will permit me to read a few words prepared by the British Mission for the wreath .we are to leave here •“Dedicated by the British Mission to the immortal memory of George Washington, soldier, statesman, pa triot, who would have rejoiced to see the country of which he was by Mrth a citizen, and the country which his genious called into existence, fighting side by. side to. save mankind from subjection to a military despotism. Governor Stuart of Virginia spoke as the host on Virginian soil. “Washington,” he said, “originally belonged to Virginia, but his priceless memory has now become a common heritage of the world. We consecrate here today a struggle bearing the su preme test of the issues for which he lived, fought and died.” Marshal Joffre, victor of toe Marne and idol of the French people, nert came forward In field marshals uni form. Simply, but earnestly, he spoke but two brief sentences:“In the French army, all venerate the name and memory of Washington. I respectfully salute here tho great soldier and lay upon his tomb the Oujn we offer ou • soldiers whs have died for their country.”Two French officers came forward wltfi toe bronze wreath from the French Mission, the humblest and toe highest mark of honor which toe French Nation can accord the dead. Washington.—The House shortly be- bore midnight Saturday passed the bill embodying toe Administration’s plan for a selective draft. The vote was 397 to 24. The -Senate passed the bill by a vote of 81 to 8. Farlier in the day both . Senate and House voted approval of the Admin istration’s proposal to raise a great war army on the principle of selective conscription, voting down by . over whelming majority the volunteer army amendment around which opponents of the Administration plan, had cen tered their right. In the Senate the vote on the volun teer amendment was 69 to 18, and in committee of the whole in the House it was 279 to 98, supporters of con scription marshaling a strength which surprised even Administration leaders. On a roll call the House rejected the volunteer army proposal by a vote of 313 to 109, an even greater ma jority than that by which toe amend ment had been eliminated from the bill earlier in the day- on teller vote in Committee of toe Whole. Whether Congress finally would ao- cept the staff’s recommendations re garding the ages -between which con scription should apply appeared more 'uncertain. In the Senate the bill’s stipulation that men between 19 and '25 should- be liable to the draft was changed to make the minimum 21 and 25 should be liable to the draft was' changed to make-the minimum'21 and the maximum 27. The House voted down all proposed changes in, the Military Committee’s recommendation that the limits be fixed at- 21 and 40. These and a number of lesser amendments will be considered as speedily as possible In conference In the hope that toe measure may be sent to the President for his signa ture by toe middle of this week. Senator Harding’s amendment, de-. signed to permit Colonel Roosevelt to raise four infantry divisions for ser vice in France, was adopted by the Senate 56 to 31. Many Democrats voted for it. A similar amendment was rejected by the House. The Senate adopted an amendment by Senator Fall to provide for raising three regiments of volunteer cavalry to patrol toe Mexican border. The vote was 53 to 25. On toe objection of Chairman Fitz gerald ‘of the Appropriation Commit tee toe $3,000,000,000 • appropriation provided for carrying the bill into ef fect was finally stricken out by toe House by a vote of 351 to 25, and- it was agreed that the committee should bring in a seperate measure. Washington.—Evidence of growing success of the -ruthless German sub marine blockade has forced the prob lem of supplying the Entente quickly with food and other necessities sharply Into the forefront of the Amer ican Government’s war program.- Aroused by information- brought to this country by the British and French war missions, President Wilson and his Cabinet set about to launch with its full force as speedily as possible their campaign to • break down the blockade, planned by the Administra tion as the Nation’s first physical stroke against Germany. The food problem occupied the Cabinet meet ing almost* to the exclusion of all toe other important war questions before the Government. Afterward, it was indicated that the recent German sub marine ravages were considered so successful that toe United States must marshal Its resources immediately to put more merchant ships in commis sion, to help devise some means of fighting submarines, and to insure a greater yield of food Btuffs to offset the increasing destruction of food cargoes in the war zone. Members of the Cabinet took to the meeting a great quantity of infor mation given by the visiting missions, including a plea by some members of the French commission that America must act quickly if the world Is to be saved from famine. Recent decla rations in the British Parliament were reviewed as' supplementing this evi dence. There was no attempt to con ceal the impression that the food problem had taken on an aspect mak ing. it incomparably the most press ing question facing toe United States In its efforts to stem the progress of its enemy. There were indications that more energetic measures might be expect ed to speed up the work of relieving the food shortage In the Entente countries. These measures, it was predicted, would be toe -first to take form as a result of the international war conferences here. MARSHAL JOFFRE EAGER • FOR U. s . FLAG IN FRANCE. GERMAN LOSSES ESTIMATED AT MORE THAN 200,000 MEN. Will Hasten End of War and Cement Friendship With America, Washington.—Marshal Joffre told the people of America through Wash ington newspaper correspondents who called upon him, that France cherishez the confident hope that the flog of the United States soon will be flying on her battle lines.Victories sure to be won by the sol diers of the two Republics, once more fighting shoulder to shoulder for lib erty, declared the hero of the Marne, will "hasten the end of the war and tighten the links of' affection and es teem which have ever united France and toe United States.'The marshal, replying to questions, ‘said he deemed it advisahle to send one American unit at a time to France rather than to wait for the complete equipment of a big army, because of transportation problems. Marshal Joffre told correspondents that he did not toaink Americans now with the French army should be withdrawn to serve under toe Ameri can flag except possibly a few spec ialists who might be useful In devel oping the training of the new Ameri can force. He paid hearty tribute to the valor of Americans now fighting In France.Amaricnn officers, he believed, were fully competent to train American men, and he gave it as his opinion that and American army would devel- op rapidly. _________ MEXICO TO TAKE HER _ STAND WITH UNITED STATES Monterey, Mexico.—Mexico prob ably WiU break off relations with the * - . . • * _ A. hw aaIm French Also Capture 130 Guns, Some of Large Calibre. Paris.—The extent of the German losses in toe recent desperate fighting along toe Aisne is practically disclosed In an official statement on the cap ture of 130 guns, of which a consider able number were of heavy caliber. . The German losses in men are esti mated at more than 200,000, with the probability that the total reached 235,- 000. These figures include killed, wounded and prisoners. The number of German prisoners aggregates approximately 20,000. The usual formula among military experts is to estimate toe casualties at five times the number of prisoners, but this five-to-one ratio has not held good in the present case, owing to the ex ceedingly sanguinary character of the fighting for the mastery of the strategic position of the Chemlndes- Dames plateou. They held this firmly at the outset, and when it was rested from them by the French attacks, the Germans repeatedly brought up large reserves In a desperate effort to re gain It. GERMAN ENVOY SAID ' TO HAVE LEFT BRAZIL. Rio Janeiro—It is reported from a good sources that the German Minis ter and Consuls left. Thursday for Europe on board the steamer Rio Janeiro.

Before night the administration had In its possession at least a broad outline of France’s vievy of American participa tion in the war. First Glimpse of Capital. The leading members of the mis sion, coming up from Hampton Boads abroad the presidential yacht May flower, had their first view of the Na tional Capital from a point on the Potomac river below Alexandria soon after Mount Vernon had been passed. As the Mayflower came abreast of the home of the first President the Mmdne Band played the Star Spangl ed Banner, and the Frenchmen lined the rail with heads bared and stood at attention. At Alexandria, rich in his torical memories, the commissioners saluted ,hundreds of people who' lined the-river front wharves waving their hats and cheering, while factory whist les shrieked out a noisy welcome. Soon afterward the navy yard was reached, and there the party was re ceived by a group of American of ficials, headed by Secretary Lansing. The secretary led the ceremony by shaking hands first with M; ViYiani and Marshal Joffre, and then with the other officers. The greeting was no mere perfunctory diplomatic affairs. As the yacht’s band played the “Mar seillaise’ and the marine guard on shore stool at attention, there was real warmth in the handshakes and earn estness of genuine feeling the words of welcome. » Once ashore, the party quickly en tered motor cars and drove across the city to the residence where its mem bers are to.be entertained during their stay here. City Ablaze With Enthusiasm. Clerks in the government depart ments had been given permission to leave their desks to join in welcoming the visitors, schools had been dismis sed, and residents from all over Wash ington had flocked to the streets. From «ue end of the city to the other there Wb» enthusiastic cheering as the Frenchmen were recognized. Two troops of United States Cavalry as escort for the mission through the streets and other regulars were. sta tioned about the White home. Secret service men are quartered near by and a searchlight has been erected so that its rays can be directed upon the en trance to the • home. Every precau tion to insure the safety of the party has been taken. Mr. Viviani took a' long walk through the residential sec tion of the city during the afternoon, quietly enjoying Washington in its spring time garb. He was greatly gratified at the cordiality of the public reception and, to friends, remarked that be was especially delighted to have seen bo many school children among the crowds. Joffre Motors In Park. Marshal Joffre spent the afternoon motoring through Rock Creek Park, at the edge of the ciiy. The Marquis de Chambrun, grandson of Gen. LaFay-' ette, called upon several old friends. Meanwhile, the five staff officers and technical • experts, who left Fortress Monroe by train had arrived and took up quarters at a hotel. ,, The entire party dined later at the White home. Thursday morning Mr. Civiani, Mar shal Joffre, Admiral Chocheprat and the Marquis de. Chambrun, accom panied by the staff officers, called up on Secretary Lansing. Later Mr. Viviani, MarBhal Joffre and Admiral Chocheprat crossed with the Secre tary from the State Department to the White House, where they were received by President' Wilson. Then Marshal Joffre will call upon Secre tary Baker, and Admiral Chocheprat upon Secretary Daniels; Mr. Viviani will go to the capitol to call upon Vice-President Marshall.

The European war has left the fa mous Latin quarter of Paris almost de serted; and a temporary Paralyslsllesf also, upon the art bohemlas of Munich, London and Rome. In default of com petition, New York’s “Greenwich Vil lage” has thus suddenly become the- new bohemian capital of the world, Charles Phelps Cushing writes in Car toons Magazine. We inclose “Greenwich village” he 'quotation marks out of deference to the older villagers, who, for the most part, are respectable Tammany EaS Irish-Americans and German-Ameri- cans, plain Americans and American Italians—all, or nearly all, resigned to making their living by pretty muck the same methods as the masses do anywhere else : “The bulk of the neigh borhood,” declares so reliable nn au thority as the director of Greenwich, house (community center), “is made up of the conservative American work ing class—the clerk, the factory work er, the longshoreman, the office clean er, the teamster and the day laborer,”' The Greenwich village of old was at’ famous for its dignity and quiet as the- “village” of today is noted for its “pa gan revels.” The Greenwich of a hun dred years ago was a rural retreat two- miles north of New York city, and was a stronghold of fashion and respect ability. Numerically, the conserva tives are yet well in the majority, but the limelight of publicity in recent times has been trained only on the Bohemians. So "Greenwich Village* has come to stand for the very reverse of all that It meant a generation back. m e a n s w e r t o t h e H e a l t h Q f i e s t i o n o f t e n Ues i n a c h a n d e o f t a h l e d r in k The Only Benefit. “What-did you gain in your deal With Smith?” “An unbounded respect for Smith’s business ability.” Did Cleo Use Her Needle?

They parthd late, each trying to soften the blow as it fell on the other, each professing a courage which, in the face of the revelation, neither could clearly feel. In the morning Jeffries brought flown to De Spain, who had spent a sleepless night at the office, a letter from Nan. De Spain opened It with acute mis givings.

Be patient for only a little w hile with NAN. 1 It was Jeffries who said, afterward, he hoped never again to be the bearer of a letter such as that. Never" until he had read and grasped the contents of Nan’s note had Jeffries seen the handle of resource and nerve and sinew, that men called Henry de Spain, go to pieces. For once, trouble overbore him. When he was able to speak he told Jeffries everything. “It is my fault," he said hopelessly. “I was so crippled, so stunned, she must have thought—I see it now—that I was making ready to ride out by daybreak and shoot Duke down on sight. It’s the price a man must pay, Jeffries, for the abil ity to defend himself against this bunch of holdup men and assassins. Because they can’t get me, Tm a ‘gun man’—” “No, you’re not a ‘gunman.’ ” “A gunman and nothing else. That’s what everybody, friends and enemies, reckon me—a gunman. You put me here to clean out this Calabasas gang, not because of my good looks, but because I’ve been, so far, a fraction of a second quicker on a trigger than these double-d d crooks.” Jeffries, from behind his pipe, re garded De Spain’s random talk calmly. "I do feel hard over my father’s death,” he went on moodily. "Who wouldn’t?. If God meant me to forget it, why did he put this mark on my face, Jeff? I did talk pretty strong to Nan about it on Music mountain. "I did feel, for a long time, Td like to kill with my own hands the man that murdered my father,, Jeff. ’ My mother must have realized that her babe, if a man-child, was doomed to a life of bloodshed. Tve been trying to think most of the night what she’d want me to do now. I don’t know what I can do, or can’t do, when I set eyes on the old scoundrel. He’s got to tell the truth—that’s all I say now. If he lies, after what he made my mother suffer, he ought to die like a dog—ho matter who he Is. "I don’t want to break Nan’s heart. What can I do? Hanging him here in Sleepy Cat, If I could do it, wouldn’t help her feelings a whole lot H I could see the fellow—” De Spain’s hands, spread before him on the table, drew up tight “if I could get my fin gers on his throat, for a minute, and Ialk to him, tell him what I think of him—I might know what I would want to do—Nan might be there to see and judge between us. I’d be almost will- iug to leave things to her to settle her self. I only want wbat’s right But,” the oath that recorded, his closing threat was collected and pitiless, “if any barm comes to that girl now from this wild trip back among those wolves God pity the men that put it over. TIl wIpe out the whole accursed clari, if I have to swing for it right here In Sleepy Cat!” - John Lefever, Jeffries, Scott in turn took him In hand to hold him during three days, to restrain the fury of his resentment, and keep him from riding to the gap in a temper that each of them knew would mean only a tragedy worse than what had gone before. fjven three days of tactful representa tion and patient admonition from cool- headed counselors- did not- accomplish all they hoped for In De Spain’s atti tude. His rage- subsided, but only to be followed by a settled -gloom that they knew might burst into uncon trollable anger at any moment A report reached <McAlpin that Gale Morgan was making ready to return to Music mountain with the- remnant of Sandusky’s gang, to make a demand on Duke for certain property and partnership adjustments. This rumor he telephoned to Jeffries. Before talk ing with De Spain, Jeiffries went over the information with Lefever. The two agreed it was right, In the circum stances, that De Spain should be near er than Sleepy Cat’ to Nan. Moreover, the period of waiting she had enjoined on him was almost* complete. Without giving De Spain the story fully, the two men talking before him let the discussion drift toward a pro posal on his part to go down to Cala- basas, where he could more easily keep track of any movement to or from the gap, and this they approved. De Spain, already chafing under a hardly en dured restraint, lost no time in start ing for Calabasas, directing Lefever to follow next day. It added nothing to his peace of mind In the morning to learn definitely from McAlpin that Gale Morgan, with in twenty-four hours, had really disap peared from Calabasas. No word of any kind had come from Music moun tain for days. No one# at Calabasas was aware even that Nan - had gone into the gap again. Bob Scott was' at Thief River. De Spain telephoned to him to come up on the early stage, and turned his attention toward getting in formation from Music mountain with out violating Nan’s injunction not to frustrate her most delicate effort with her uncle. As a possible scout to look into her present situation and report on it, Mc- AIpin could point only to Buir Page.- Bull was-a ready instrument, but his present value as an assistant had be come a matter of doubt, since prac tically every man In the gap had threatened within the week to. blow his head off—though Bull himself felt no scruples against making an attempt to reach Music mountain and get back again. It was proposed by the canny McAlpln to send him In with a team and light wagon, ostensibly to bring out his trunk, which, if it had not been fed to the horses, was still in Duke’s barn. As soon as a rig could be got up Page started out ' It was late November. A far, clear air drew the snow-capped ranges sharply down to the eye of the desert— as if the speckless sky, lighted.by the radiant sun, were but a monster glass rigged to trick the credulous retina. De Spain, in the saddle'In front of the barn, his broad hat brim set on the Impassive level of the western horse man, his lips seeming to compress his thoughts, his lines over his forearm, and his hands half-slipped into the pockets of his snug leather coat, watched Page with his light wagon and horses drive away. Idling around the neighborhood of the barns in the saddle, De Spain saw him gradually recede into the long desert perspective, the perspective which almost alone enabled Oie watch er to realize as he curtained his eyes behind their long, steady lashes from the blazing sun, that it was a good bit of a way to the foot of the great out post of the Superstition range. De Spain’s restlessness prevented his remaining quiefly anywhere for long. As the morning advanced he cantered out on the Music mountain trail, think ing of and wishing for a sight, of Nan. The deadly shock of Pardaloe’s story had been dulled by days and nights of pain. BQs deep-rooted love and his loneliness had quieted his impulse for vengeance and overborne him with a profound sadness. He realized how different his feelings were now from what they had been when she knelt be fore him in the darkened room and, not daring to plead for mercy for her uncle, had asked him only for the pity for herself that he had seemed so slow to give. Something reproached him now for his coldness at the moment that he should have thought of her suffering before his own.' It was while riding in this way that his eyes, reading mechanically the wagon trail he was aimlessly following —for no reason other than that it brought him, though forbidden, a little closer to her—arrested his attention. He checked his horse. Something, the trail told him, had happened. Page had stopped his horses. Page had met two men on horseback coming from the gap. After a parley—for the horses had tramped around long enough for one—the wagon had turned completely from the trail and struck across the desert, north; the two horsemen, or one with a led horse, had started back for the gap. AU of this De Spain gathered with out moving his horse outside a circle of thirty feet. What did it mean? Page might have fallen in with cronies from the gap, abandoned his job, and start ed for Sleepy Cat, but this was unlike ly. He might have encountered ene mies, been pointedly advised to keep away from the gap, and pretended to start for- Sleepy Cat, to'.avoifj trouble with them? pee#fiifig?tKh!:s6ci)iid“ ffie more probable conclusion, De Spain, absorbed. in: his speculations, continued toward the gap to see whether he could not pick up: the trail of Page’s rig "far ther on. Within a mile a further surprise awaited him. The two horsmen, who had headed for the gap after stopping Page, had left the-trail, turned to the south, down d. small, draw, which would screen them;from, sight, and set out across the desert. .No trail and no' habitation lay in the direction they- had -taken—and it seemed clearer to De Spain that the second horse was a Igd horse. There was a story In the incident, but his in terest lay in following Page’s move ments, and he spurred swiftly forward to sfee whether his messenger had re sumed the gap trail and gone on with his mission.' He followed this’quest al most to the mountains, without recov ering any trace of Page’s Hg. He halted. It was certain now that Page had not gone into the gap. Perplexed and annoyed, De Spain, from the high ground on.which he sat his horse, cast bis eyes far over the desert. The brilliant sunshine flooded it as far as the eye could reach. He scanned the vast space without detect ing a sign o t life anywhere, though none better than he knew that any -abundance of if might be there. But his gaze caught something of interest on the farthest northern horizon, and on this his scrutiny rested a long time. A soft brown curtain rose just above the earth line against the blue sky. To ward the east it died away and toward the west it was cut off by the Super stition peaks. De Spain, without giving the weather signs much thought, recognized their import, but his mind was filled with his own anxieties and he rode smart ly back toward Calabasas, because he was not at ease over the puzzles in the trail. When he reached the depression where the horsemen had, without any apparent reason, turned south, he halt ed. Should he follow them or turn north to follow Pageis wanderings? If Page had been scared away from the gap, for a time, he probably had .no in formation that De Spain wanted, and De Spain knew his cunning and per sistence well enough to be confident he would be back on the gap road, and within the cover of the mountains, be fore a storm should overtake him. On the north the brown curtain had risen fast and already enveloped the farthest peaks of the range. Letting his horse stretch its neck, he hesitated a mo ment longer trying to decide whether to follow the men to the south or the wagon to the north. A woman might have done better. But no good angel was there to guide his decision, and In another moment he was riding rapidly to the south with the even, brown, misty cloud behind him rolling higher into the northern sky. CHAPTER XXVIII. De Spain Rides Alone. He haa ridden-the trail but a short time when it led him in a wide angle backward and around toward Cala basas, and he found, presently, that the men he was riding after were appar ently heading for the stage barns. In the north the rising curtain had dark ened. Toward Sleepy Cat the land scape was already obliterated. In the south the sun shone, but the air had grown suddenly cold, and in the sharp drop De Spain realized what was com ing. His first thought was of the south ern stages, which must be warned, and as he galloped up-to big barn, with this thought in mind he saw, standing in the doorway, Bull Page. De Spain regarded him with aston ishment. “How did you get here?” was his sharp question. Page grinned.- “Got what I was aft er, and c’m’ back sooner’n I expected. Half-way over to the gap, I met Duke and the young gal on horseback, head ed for Calabasas. They pulled up. I pulled up. Old Duke looked'kind o’ ga’nted, and it seemed like Nan was In a considerable hurry to get to Sleepy Cat with him, and he couldn’t stand the saddle. Anyway, they was heading for Calabasas to get a rig from McAl- pin. I knowed McAIpin would never give old Duke a rig, not if he was a-dyin’ in the saddle.” “They’ve got your rig!” cried De Spain. “The gal asked me if Pd mind ac- commodatin’ ’em,” explained Bifil dep- recatlngly, “to save time.” “They headed north!” exclaimed De Spain. The light from the fast-chang ing" sky fell copper-colored across his horse and figure. McAlpin, followed by a hostler,' appeared at the bam door. Bull nodded to De Spain. “Said they wanted to get there quick. She fig*erd on savin’ a few miles by strikln’ the hill trail in. So I takes their horses and lets on I was headin' for the gap. When they got out of sight, I turned ’round--” Even as he spoke, the swift-rolling curtain of mist overhead blotted the sun out of the sky. De Spain sprang from his. saddle with a ringing order to McAlpin. “Get up a fresh saddle-horse!” “A horse!” cried the startled bam boss, whirling on the hostler. "The strongest legs in the stable, and don’t lose a second! Lady. Jane; up with her!” he yelled, bellowing his orders into the echoing barn with his hands to his mouth. !‘Up' with her for Mr. de Spain in a second! Mairmon! Becker! Lanzon! What In h-----1 are you all do ing?” he roared,- rushing back with a fusillade of oaths. “Look alive, every body!” "Coming!” yelled one voice after an other from the depths of the distant' stalls. De Spain ran? into the office. Page caught his horse, stripped the rifle .frj? !.Mf1J1Plater, and hurriedly began unclncbihg. Hostlers running through the bam called shrilly back and forth; and De Spain springing up the stairs to his room provided what he wanted for his hurried flight. When he dashed down with coats on his arm the hoofs of Lady Jane were clattering down the long gangway. A stable-boy slid from her. back on one side as Bull: Page threw the saddle across her from the other; hostlers, caught at the cinches, while others hurriedly rubbed the legs of the quivering mare. De Spain, his hand on McAlpin’s shoulder, was giv-, ing his parting injunctions, and the bam boss, head cocked down, and eyes cast; furtively on the-scattering .snow flakes outside, was listening with an at tention that recorded indelibly every uttered syllable. Once only, he interrupted: “Henry, you’re ridin’ out into this thing alone— don’t do it” “I can’t help it,” snapped De Spain impatiently. . “It's a man killer.” “I can’t help it” "Bob Scott, if he w's here, ’lid never let you do it. I’ll ride wi’ ye myself, Henry: I worked for your father—” “You’re too old a man, Jim—” “Henry—-” “Don’t talk to me! Do as I tell you!” thundered De Spain. McAlpin bowed his head. “Ready!” yelled Page, buckling the rifle holster In place. Still talking, and with McAlpin glued to his elbow, De Spain vaulted Into the saddle, caught the lines from Bull’s hands, and steadied the Lady as she sidestepped nervously—McAlpin following close and dodging the dancing hoofs as he looked earnestly up to catch the last word. De Spain touched the horse with the lines. Sheleaped through the door way and he raised a backward hand to those behind. Running outside the door, th.ey yelled a chorus of cries after the swift-moving horseman, and, clustered in an excited group, watched the Lady with a dozen great strides round the Calabasas trail and disap pear with her rider into the whirling snow. She fell at once Into an easy reach ing step, and De Spain, busy with his reflections, hardly gave thought to what she was doing, and little more to what was going on about him. No moving figure reflects the impas sive more than a horseman of the mountains, on a long ride. • Though never, so swift-borne, the man, looking neither to the right nor to the left, moving evenly and statuelike against the sky, a part of the wiry beast under him, presents the very picture of in difference to the world around him. The great, swift wind spreading over the desert emptied on it snow-laden puffs that whirled and wrapped a cloud of flakes about horse and rider in the symbol of a shroud. De Spain gave no heed to these skirmishing', eddies, but he knew what was behind them, and for the wind, he only wished-it might keep the snow In the air till he caught sight of Nan. The even reach, of the horse brought him. to the point where Nan had changed to the stage wagon. Without a break in her long stride, Lady Jane took the hint of her swerving rider, put her nose into the wind, and headed north. De Spain, alive to the difficul ties of his venture, set his hat lower and bent forward to follow the wagon along the sand. With the first of the white flurries passed, he found himself in a snowless pocket, as it were, of the advancing storm. He hoped for noth ing from the prospect ahead; but ev ery moment of respite from the blind ing whirl was a gain, and with his eyes close on the trail that had carried Nan into danger, he urged the Lady on. When the snow again closed down about him he calculated from the roughness of the country that he should be within a mile of the road that Nan was trying to reach, from the gap to Sleepy Cat. But the broken ground straight ahead would prevent her from driving directly to It. He knew she must hold to the right, and her curving track, now becoming diffi cult to trail, confirmed his conclusion. A fresh drive of the wind buffeted him as he turned directly north. Only at intervals could he see any trace of the wagon wheels. The driving snow compelled him more than once to dis mount and search for the trail. Each time he lost it the effort to regain it was more prolonged. At times he was compelled to ride the desert in wide circles to find the tracks, and this cost time when ,'minutes might mean life. But as long as he could he clung to the struggle to track her exactly. He saw almost where the storm had, struck the two wayfarers. Neither, he knew, was insensible to its dangers. What amazed him was that a man like Duke Morgan should be out in it. He found a spot where they had halted and, with a start that checked the beating of his heart, ids eyes fell on her footprint not yet obliterated, beside the‘ wagon track. ’ The sight of it was an electric shock. Throwing himself from his horse, he' knelt over it in the storm, oblivious for an instant of everything but that this tracery meant her presence, where he now bent, hardly half an hour before. He swung, after a moment’s keen scru tiny, into his saddle, with fresh re solve." Pressed by the rising fury of the wind, the wayfarers had become from this point, De Spain saw too plainly, hardly more than fugitives. Good ground to the left, where their hope , of safety lay, had been over looked. Their tracks wandered on the open desert like those who, losing cour age, lose their course in the confusion and fear of the impending peril. And with .this increasing uncertainty in their ,direction vanished De Spain’s last hopes of tracking them. The wind swept the desert now >as a hurricane sweeps the open sea, snatching the fallen snow from the face of the earth as the sea-gole, flattening: the -face of the waters, rips the foam- from the frantic waves to drive it in wild, .scud ding fragments across them. De Spain, urging his horse forward; unbuckled his rifle holster, threw away the scabbard, and holding the weapon up In one hand, fired' shot-after shot at measured intervals to- attract the attention of the two he sought; Hfe ex hausted his. rifle .ammunition without eliciting any answer.. The wind drove with a roar against which: even a rifle report could ’hardly.-carry, and the snow swept down the1 sinks In a mad blast.: Flakes -tom by the fury- of .the gale'were stiffened by the bitter wind Into powdered ice that stung horse and rider.' Casting away the useless car bine,. and pressing his- horse to the limit ' of her strength and endurance, the unyielding pursuer'rode In great, coiling circles into the storm, to cut In, if possible, ahead of its victims, firing shot upOn shot from his revolver, and putting, his ear intently against the wind for the faint hope, of on an swer. Suddenly the Lady stumbled and, as he cruelly reined her, slid helpless and scrambling -along- the face: of a flat rock. De Spain, leaping from her back, steadied her trembling and looked underfoot. The mare had struck the rock of the upper lava bed. Drawing his revolver, he fired signal shots from where he stood. It could not be far, he knew, from the junction of the two great desert trails—the Calabasas road and the gap road. He felt sure Nan could n it have got much north of this, for he I: ad ridden In des peration to get abre> st of or beyond her, and if she were south, where, he asked, In the name of God, could she be? He climbed again into the saddle— the cold was gripping his limbs—and, watching the rocky landmarks narrow ly, tried to circle the dead waste of the half-burled flow. With chilled, awkward fingers he filled the revolver again and rode on, discharging it every minute, and listening—hoping against hope for an answer. It was when he had almost completed, as well as he could compute, the wide circuit he had set out on, that a faint shot answered his-continuing signals. With the sound of that shot and those that followed it his courage all came back. But he-had'yet to trace through the- confusion of the wind and the blinding snow the direction of the answering reports. Hither and thither he rode, this way- and that, . testing out the location of the slowly repeated shots, and signal ing at intervals In return. Slowly and doggedly he kept on, shooting, listen ing, wheeling and advancing until, as he raised his revolver to fire it again, a -cry close at hand came out of the storm. It was a woman’s voice borne on the wind. Riding swiftly to the left, a horse’s outline revealed itself at moments In the driving snow ahead. De Spain cried out, and from behind the furious curtain heard his name, loudly called. Hfe pushed his stum bling horse on. The dim outline of a second horse, the background of a wag on, a storm-beaten man—all this passed his eyes unheeded. They were bent on a girlish figure running toward him as he slid stiffly from the saddle. The next instant Nan was in his . arms. NOTICE TO MCjCWOMEN PosiiiTe Piroof T h at L ydio E .

The Truth. With the desperation of a joy born of despair, she laid her burning cheek hysterically against his cheek. She rained kisses on his ice-crusted brows and snow-beaten eyes. Her arms held him rigidly. He could not move nor speak till she would let him. Trans formed, this mountain girl who gave herself so shyly, forgot everything. Her words crowded on his ears. She re peated his name in an ecstasy of wel come, drew down his lips, laughed, re joiced, knew no shamefacedness and no restraint—she was one freed from the stroke'of a descending knife. A moment before she had faced death alone; It was still death she faced— she realized this—but it was death, at least, together, and her joy and tears rose from her heart In one stream. De Spain.comforted her, quieted her, cut away one of the coats from his horse, slipped it over her shoulders, in cased her In the heavy fur, and turned his eyes to Duke. The old man’s set, square'face sur rendered nothing of implacability to the dangers confronting . him. De Spain lqoked for none of that. He bad known the Morgan record too long, and faced the Morgan men too often, to fancy they would flinch at the drum beat of death.. The two men, In the deadly, driving snow, eyed each other. Out of the old man’s deep-set eyes burned the resist ance of a hundred storms faced before. But he was caught now like a wolf In a trap, and he knew he had little to hope for, littte to fear. As De Spain regarded him, something like pity may have mixed with his hatred. The old outlaw was thinly clad. His open throat was beaten with snow, and, standing beside the wagon, he held the team reins In a bare hand. - De Spain cut the other coat from his saddle and held it out Duke pretended sot to see, and, when not longer equal to keeping up the pretense, shook his head. “Take it,” said De Spain curtly. “No.” “Take it, I say. You and I will settle our affairs when we get Nan out of this,” he insisted. ‘De Spain!” Duke’s voice, as was its wont, cracked like a pistol. “I can say all Tve got to say to you right here.” “No.” ... . “Yes,” cried the old man.

Foster, who runs a store 5 miles south of town on the Salisbury road, has been very unfortunate in the past few years, so far as rob beries are-concerned, his store hav ing been broken into and robbed at least three or four times. But he got even with one of the gentlemen last Wednesday morning. Hearing a noise and seeing a light in his store just before day. he got busy. The burglar was filling his car with hams, cigarettes and a miscelaneous collection of goods. In a few min utes he pulled out in his "tin lizzie” toward Mocksville. Mr. Foster and son hustled around after their car and started in pursuit of the stranger, whose car was not working good. They overtook and passed him be fore arriving here. They _ stopped here and was joined by Sheriff Wine- coff and continued the pursuit. The stranger’s car went bad, and the pursuers caught him near Joppa. He was brought back here and put behind the bars. His car contained a crow-bar, a hack saw, two flash lights, a small phial of what some took to be nitro glycerine, one suit case, a sample case, an oil can, a number of suits, shoes, etc., besides the goods taken from Foster’s store. The fellow .claims to hail from Rich-- mond, and says his name is Allman. He was driving a new model Ford touring car with a North Carolina license tag No. 27736. He was giv en a preliminary trial Friday before V. E. Swaim, Esq.. and bound over to court under a $2,500 bond. Fail ing to give bond, he was placed in jail to await August court. Apples Torn to Potatoes. A certain young twig of the town decided to carry a couple of our fairest young ladies to the Cana commencement one night last week. Realizing that the young ladies might become hungry, the twig got busy and purchased a bag of fine apples, which he left in the store until readv to start. A little later he came by in a hurry and grabbed up his bag of appl<fe and went on his way rejoicing. After starting on his return from the land of Cana, the young man reached down into the foot of the buggy and brought forth the bag of apples. He select ed a large, juicy fellow and took a big bite, when lo and behold, he was amazed to find that he’ had carried away a 50 cent bag of Irish* potatoes that were the property of another party. The young man don’t know how it happened—but it did. The mention of potatoes is his fighting word, and the word “Irish” brings blushes to the cheeks of the two young ladies.

Tbe Old Time Preacher* DidNotPreech For Money Alone— They Labor* ed Six Days on The Farm And Preached ou Sunday. We love to sit down all alone and, think of the good, faithful preach ers that we knew and loved to, hear preach in Davie 50 years ago. The great work they did and the good they accomplished cannot be estima ted in dollars and cents, if must be estimated in redeemed human souls. We believe those men were Chris tians and divinely called to preach And we believe they could exclaim with Paul of old: “Woe is me if I preach not the gospel ” They did not preach for money alone; for they didn’t get much, and didn't com plain about it. Many of them work ed on the farm through the week and preached on Sunday. We ex pect they were as well prepared as if they had sat around on the streets and talked about war, politics and business. In those days the church was on a spiritual basis. The rejoicing was over the lost souls that were being saved. Under their preaching, men and women were actually convicted and converted and born again. And when they joined the church, they lived their profession. They quit cussing, quit getting drunk, quit gambling, quit dancing, quit pliay- ing cards for prizes, quit serving punch and such things. They would have been turned out of the church for such things; for a majority in the churches then were good people, and had as much, concern for the good name of their church as they had for the feelings of neighbors, friends and their would be brethren in the church. Their most sacred duty was to the church. It is not that way now. You rarely ever hear any one now crying for mercy and asking wbat he must do to be saved. Under the gospel now, you never see men and women at the mourner’s bench, or out in the woods crying for pardon, You nev er hear them shout when they are born again. The only way you can find out if the Lord has saved them, is to ask them, and they will give you the universal password of chris- tians in these last days, Do you know what that pass-word is? Well, ask the converts and even the mem bers of any church, if they are Chris tians, or have ever been saved, and nine-tenths of them will say: “I hope so.” We have attended many good meetings at Concord, Liberty, Cen ter, Jerusalem, Fork Church. Dutch MeetingHouse and at Mocksville. We have seen hundreds at the mour ner’s bench and seen them when they “come through," as conversion was called by many then. And you could tell when one actually “come through.” You could tell it in his or her face. You didn't have to ask them if they had been born a- gain. To have asked them, would ltave been as foolish as to ask a new born babe if it was born. Actions aIways speak louder than words, <u'he reason we had good revivals uien was we had good, earnest and consecrated brethren and sisters praying for the preacher, the Holy Spirit and for the lost.. It takes this to reach pp and lay hold of and disturb the storm center of; God’s grace, before there will or. can be! an outpouring or a spiritual storni to stir up and arouse any community, so as to perform the miracle of bringing the dead to life and making new creatures out of old ones. We need to get back to the simple gos pel and the application of it as prac ticed by our fathers. The Book says: "When Ziontravaileth. she bringeth forth sons and daughters.’’ If you will excuse us, will say that we fear our churches are too much divided up into societies or sub-or- sanizations, to have that spiritual power necessary to perform their inissiprj in the world. The members Sbou learn to think moire of ^Pective society and its growth, than °f the church and .the saviibg ' of souls. They think when they do the work of the society, that is all re quired. Theyactually set up and 'nink more of their own class or so- cietY organization than they do the only organization pi Christj that of the church. - church and weaken it. “A house divided against itself, shall fall,” we are told. Then nothing can rise a- bove the moral force that runs or operates it. Sometimes, these soci eties have at their head, men and women who are in them for self glory alone. We hope it is not so in Davie. ' We are preparing an article on the rise, progress and. fall of na tions, politically and religiously. as given in prophecy, which we pro pose to give to the readers of The Record. In it, will be seen, as we view it, to whither we are drifting. In our next, will take up and men tion some of the preachers who Jiv ed, labored and blessed Davie, and helped to make it the good county of which it boasts today. J. F. CLICK. Hickory, N. C. Pass For Two Dogs. Governor Bickett was a few days ago besought at long distance by an Alabama man who is native to North Carolina, pass that will bring back to the state one man, one girl and two dogs. •‘Dear Sir,” the letter begins in one place, ,‘I will take Pleasure of riten you a Fuew Lines, dear Sir i Want to come Home and i am asking yonr ade and aSSistain Per me, and my family and my 2 doGs i was raised in 22 miles' of New Berne.” Elsewhere he writes in another attempt co touch the governor's heart: “ dear Gover J. ft i am today You i wank to come Qome aod am not able to pay my fair, i aoi a Citerson N. 0. Bond and raised in Craven co.” He takes Governor' Bickett into his confidence. Bacon is 25 cents, lard compound 12 and, J.r2, ‘*suGar slrate 10 cts, gun mettle shoeB is $4 75 looking tor them to go to $ 6 a pair. There is many Citersons Bond and raised in N C who woud get away if they coud.” The refugee tells wny he wants his dogs. He thinks so little of the Peterman, Alabama section that he is unwilling to leave a dog down there. The poor fellow says he has been m aking only $125 a day in the ‘ . “ business. The governor haseu’t had time to look over the letter. On geneial principles he would not o ject to getting another farm band back in North Carolina.—ltaleigh Let ter in Greehsboro News. Proper Food For Weak Stomachs. The proper food for one may be all wrong for another. Every one should a: dopt a diet suited to his age and occpa- tion. Those who have weak stomach3 need to be especially careful and should eat slowly and masticate their food tbrouh- ly. It isalsoimportant that they keep their bowels regular. When they become constipated or when they feel dull and stupid after eating, they should take Chamberlain's Tablets to strengthen the stomach and move the bowels. They are easy to take and pleasant in effect: While “keeping us out of war” the adminstration steadfastly re fused to profit by the experience of any of the European belliger ents. Now th'at the war, it is to hoped that the self sufficiency which has ruled at Washington Bince., 1914 will be replaced by a more modest manner. NATURE TELLS YOU As Many a MocktvlUe Reader Knows Too Well. ’ i' When the kidneys are weak. Nature teUs yon about it. The urine is nature’s Index. Infrequent or too frequet passage,. Other disorders suggest kidney iUs.. Doan’s Kidney Pills are for disordered kidneys. People in this vicinity testify to their: worth., A. B. F. Gaither, 316 Tradd St., States ville, li'. C. says: “I have taken Doan’s Kidney Pills off and on for the past two years and have found them to be just the thing to regulate the action of my kidneys. At times ray‘back feels a little weak &nd I have pains across - my loins. A few doses of Doan’s Kidney Pills make roe feel better In every way.” Price 50c. at all dealers. Don’t simply ask for a kidney remedy—get Doan’s Kid ney Pills—the same that Mr. Gaither uses. Foster-Milbnrn Co., Props., Buffalo. The Embattled Farmers. From every quarter comes the cry of the vital necessity of a great food supply this year. We have studionslyavoided giving the farm ers advice, for they know their business a great deal better than we do; but these times are not nor mal. The war conditions make it neceBsary that every man with voice or pen or by any other means, should cry aloud and spare not, for the biggest crop of corn, peas, wheat, potatoes, and every other class of food, that we have evei raised iu the United States. That Iarmer is fooliBh indeed who be cause of dreams of twenty cent cot ton, turns all his attention to the fleecy staple, with an empty corn crib and smokehouse. The farmei can make a large and important contribution to the great campaign by raising every thing to eat that he possibly can. In tbia course he not only oaves himself but helps to save others. - Selective conscrip tion aims to let the farmers alone, aod take the men who are making no contribution of food products. The victory for the United States in this distressing warfare will be won in the corn Iieid rather than on the battle field. With plenty of food at home we will avoid the suffering and distress of the nations ot Europe. The short supply of food is now the main peril they face, TraDBjKiatiOD' will be dei moralized. The weat inav be cut off from the east aud the north from the south. Everycommunity as far .as possible, ought to make itself independent of every other ,cotj}jajuinity,v W-e will need' biscuit and potatoes more ‘ than powder and bullets. This, of all times in the world, is no time to go in for a big. cotton or tobbaco crop made on time prices, and with western flour and bacon. We.hope those who have overloaded on cotton will plow up the land and plant it in grain. Thesouth can feed itself if it- will, and if i* does not feed itself, there will be do assurance the world that it will be fed.— Gharity and Children. Give EveryBody An Opportunity. Col. Theodore Roosevelt is con fident tbat he can quickly . raise a division of volunteer* ,for service in Fraace and that, they can be trained and put on the firing line in a few months. We fully share the Colonel’s belief; and we are convinced that he snould be given the opportunity. There are thou sands of venturesome young men in this country who would welcome the chance to;. follow the -Colonel into full fighting fellowship with the “ poilua” and who would carry our flag with signal bravery in any engaement. They, . too, should be given the opportunity. Ths DuInine That Does Not Affect The Head Because of its' tonic and laxative effect.

Don’t, worry—volunteers will flock to the ^colors thicker than bees at swarming time. Free Bpuds and beans will do it. Leaves Us In Doubt. With all these appeals to plant and .plow we are left in doubt as to whicL is the better thing to do. to shoulder a musket or a spade Therfe is no enemy in Bightas yet, and there is in-sight a shortage ot foodstuffs. This being true wh\ not open- recruting offices and havc- men apd boys enlist to go back to the farms aud shoulder a spade or a hoe' and go to it, ratner than loaf around in barracks waiting tor tne-enemy! Did you ever think of this? There are tens of millions of acres of lands Deglected. If the Nation is short of foodstuffs, why not takeSsome of that seven billion dollars and buy seed and farm iin- pliments and pay the city people a soldier’s salary to plant and plow instead of shooting. powder or waiting for an enemy? Looks now like two armies should be raised at the expense of Uncle Sam—one an army of pro ducers, of agriculturists, and the other an army to shoot down the enemyV If we can raise seven billion dol lars to take men off the farms, why n 9t raise seven billion to keep half of t hem on the farms? This is an idea worth while and we hope Washington will consider it.— Greensboro Eecord. Our Voice Will Be Heard. Oar entry into the war against Germany means that in post wai trade negotiations we will be in a position to take an active part. There are constiiutional liuiitatioup on'oar handling of the tariff which make a bargaining tariff iiupracti cable.

POLLING PLACES TO BE USED Atl Persons Within the Age Limits Prescribed by the Law Must Pre- sent Themselves There—Gover nors of States at Head of Registration Work. WashinfcCn.-With the object of stimulating publicity to the work of raising tbe military forces called for under the army draft law the war de partment has issued the following in structions, which will govern the work: I There was a time in the coun- try’s history when military enumerators, backed by bayo- nets, went out among the people to take a compulsory service census. Today, under the prin ciple of universal liability to service, the execution of the law is put into the hands of the people. The approval of the new national army bill and the president’s proclama tion thereunder have been coincident. All persons within the age limits pre scribed are required to present them selves for registration at the customary voting places In the voting precincts in which they have their permanent homes, on a day which the president will announce. The governor of each state is the chief of registration therein. The ma chinery of registration in each cOunty is in charge of the sheriff, the county clerk, and the county physician, act ing ex officio, unless a different board shall be announced by the governor. In cities containing populations of more than 30,000, the registration will be tinder the control of the mayor and se lected boards of registration. In order that the disignated county and city officials, and the people generally, can get a clear understanding of the cen sus methods-the following brief out line is given: The sheriffs, or other designated Offi cials, immediately upon receiving no tice from the governor, shall appoint registrars for each voting precinct. Apportionment of Registrars. The proportion of registrars shall be one for each 170 persons to be regis tered. Ench age to be registered will comprise about I per cent of the popu lation. if. for instance, all men between nineteen and twenty-five years of age, inclusive, are to be registered, the reg istrar would have to enroll about 7 per cent of the precinct population. rt is desirable to accept ,the services of competent volunteer registrars to serve without compensation. All reg istrars must Be sworn. The voting place in each precinct must be prepared for registration. Full printed instructions covering every de tail of registration will be in the hands of sheriffs and mayors on the fifth day alter the president’s proclamation. Cities of Over. 30,000 Population. The mayor of a city.containing more than 30.000 inhabitants, or the officials designated by the governor • therein, shall, with approval of the governor, appoint for each ward; or convenient minor subdivision containing about 30,- OOO people one registration board, and shall designate one officer of each hoard to perform duties similar to those imposed on the sheriff, as here tofore outlined. If the mayor desires, Be may appoint a central board to co ordinate the work of minor boards. Duties of County Clerks, and of Clerks of Cities of Over 30,000 People. On the fifth day after the president hhs issued ^kIs proclamation, dorks of coimties and cities of over 30,000 must sewire a supply of blanks and copies of the registration regulations from the sheriff or from the mayor. Absen tees and the sick will apply to such clerks to have their registration cards filled out. In no case shall such per sons be given registration certificates. Tliey are to be ,instructed by the clerk that the burden Is bn them to see to It that the cards reach the registrars of their home precincts by registration day. Absentees and the 81cfc Persons absent from .their: home counties may.be registered by mall; If so absent, a man should go-to the clerk of the county where he may be staylng, on the-sixth day After the date of tiie president’s proclriffi'atiOh; If heib ina city of oyer 80.000 population; feeclfy clerk is 'the official' to whom to apply. The absentee will he told how( to. reg ister, but’ he must mall’ his carid In time to reach his‘precinct by registra tion day. Persons too sick to present them selves for registration must send _ a competent person to the'coUnty of city clerk on the sixth, day after the Is- sOing of the proclamation. The clerk. "’HI give instructions for registration. Colleges, Universities, Homes and Oth er Institutions. Officials of educational, charitable and other Institutions should apply for Instructions to the county or city dlerk *>u tne sixth day after the date of the proclamation for lnstriictlons as to a convenient method of registration. Tha wardens of jails, penitentiaries, and reformatories should apply to the county or city clerk for instructions on the sixth day. Five days after the date of the pres ident’s proclamation complete regula tions will be in the hands of all sheriffs Bnd of the officials of cities of over 30,000 population. The president is authorized to call upon, all public officers to assist In'the- execution of the law. The plan is, however, to rely on the people for the proper execution of the lew.

BANKS ASKED TO CO-OPERAfE Secretary Authorizes Financial lnsti. tutions to Receive Subscriptions for the Bond Offerings. ■Washington.—Secretary McAdoo tele graphed .the entire list of 27,613 nation al and state banks.and trust companies in the United States, authorizing them to receive subscriptions for the $2,000 ,- 000,000 bond offering, enlisting their co-operation, and requesting them to telegraph a rough estimate of the amount of bonds each would take for itself and its patrons* “You can render an invaluable serv ice to your country,” Mr. McAdoo told the banks, “by receiving subscriptions and co-operating with the federal re serve bank In your district.” Loan Subscriptions Pour In. To all clearing house associations In the country Mr. McAdoo sent a tele gram in which he said: “The amount of the initial loan has been determined by the needs of the government and riot arbitrarily. The enthusiastic and patriotic co-operation of the banks and bankers of the coun try will guarantee the success of the undertaking.". The result of the first announcement of the loan has been a deluge of sub scriptions, aggregating many millions. Most of these came In by wire to the treasury. Virtually every large city and every state in the Union was rep resented. Lend $100,000,000 to Italy. Negotiations continued today with representatives of the nations to which the United States is extending credit.

MAY CENTER IN WASHINGTON Probability That One Committee Will Purchase AU Supplies Needed by the Allied Countries.' Washington.—Creation of a central purchasing committee In Washington for all supplies bought in tlm United States for the allied governments was forecast here by Sir Hardman Lever, financial expert of the British war mission. The committee will supplant j. P. Morgan & Co. Discussing the world financial situa tion, the British expert expressed -the opinion that Germany Will be practical ly bankrupt In the credit markets after the war. “Our* enemies,” he said, “for all their boasted efficiency, have never had the courage to face their financial prob lems, with the result that when the war is over they will be hard put to it” ' : t The Teutonic governments having pyramided one internal loan upon an other, he explained, their interest charges would be so great that he be lieved they would either have to repu diate a large part of their debt or face inability to buy the enormous quanti ties' of material they would need for reconstruction. The allies, he added, had paid their way In the war “by the straightfor ward and natural means, by pouring out their gold, by selling enormous masses of American securities, by rais ing loans.” As a result, he predicted that the end of the war would find the allies In good shape financially, despite their enormous-permanent debts.

Government's' Foreign Policy Explain, ed In Definite Terms and Is Accept ted by Soldiers’ and Workingmen’s Delegates. Petrograd, via London.—The contro versy between the Council of Work men's and Soldiers’ Delegates arid the Provisional. Government that for, ,.a short, time had threatened, such serious consequences in which, In, fact, the fate of the nation and possibly of the war were involved has been settled. Prince Tseretelli, speaking before a tremendous assemblage of soldiers and workmen, declared that the govern ment had prepared a new declaration concerning Its foreign policy, which was in definite language and corre sponded to the proclamation of April 9 and embodied the views of the pro letariat. When the speaker declared that the temporary government had acquitted itself of the charge brought against it by explaining in concise terms what it meant by the vague form of yester day’s declaration, a great cheer arose from 'the assembly and lasted for sev eral minutes. It apparently voiced the relief which all present felt at the solution of the utmost serious diffi culty which bad confronted the country since the revolution- Prince Tsertelli then read the new declaration sent the council by the government, and explained that the trouble was over and that the provi sional government would remain in power. Democracy, he announced amid continued cheering, had won it great victory. GOLDEN FLOOD POURS IN FOR “LIBERTY LOAN QF 1917." Small Investor ldot Yet- Been Heard From.—Payments on Easy Terms. Washington.—The golden 'flood of subscriptions to the ‘liberty loan” .con fines to sweep in upon the Treasury without abatement.. Officials estimat ed that since the books Were opened for subscription money had poured in at; the rate of $7j208,260 per hour and the first three days business showed a total of about $500,000,000 or one-tenth of the total. Thus' far only the banks and weal thy individuals have been heard from. The small investors voice has not been heard, except indirectly. Offi cials believe that a.great army of men of moderate means are willing and anxious to invest in the bonds, and to this end a program is under considera tion which will enable virtually every one In the country with only a small amount to spare to buy at least one bond. “It is Intended to make the bonds of such denominations,” Secretary McAdoo announced, “and the pay ments on such' easy terms as will give every inhabitant of the laud the op portunity to help. Announcement as to the denominations arid payments will be made in a few days.” Consideration of this arid other de tails indicates that small investors will be permitted, in some manner yet to be formulated, to pay for bonds by Installriients lasting over a consid erable period of time. In this, Treas ury officials have the support of many banks, some of which have offered to accept payments as Bmall as $5 a months. Department stores arid other agencies, also have offered to co-oper ate on this plan. MORE ENROLL THAN CAN BE ACCOMMODATED. Fort Oglethorpe, Ga.—Tabulation of the enrollment for the reserve offi cers’ training camp here indicated that thirty-eight more Tennesseans and Carolinians have qualified for admis- misioris than the camp can accommo date.

Lever Introduces Sweeping Measure In House. Washington.—Absolute authority to regulate, in its discretion, the pro duction, distribution and prices of food and other necessities during the war was asked of Congress by the Administration. Iri a sweeping bill introduced with Administration approval by Chairman Lever, of the House Agriculture Com mittee, it is proposed to empower the President under- the war clause of the Constitution, to take, these meas ures wherever in his opinion the Na tional emergency shall require: The maximum and minimum prices ■for food, clothing, fuel and other ne cessities and tbe articles required for their production; To prescribe regulations to govern the production of these commodities, and, if necessary, to requisition the producing factories, mines or other establishments; To compel holders of necessities to release them In 'amounts insuring equitable distribution; To regulate exchanges In such a- way as to eliminate market manipu lation;\To compel railroads to give prefer ence to the movement of necessities; To levey such importation duties as he finds necessary to prevent exces sive “dumping” of foreign products; and To impose limitations or prohibi tion upon the use of grain In the manufacture of liquor. In addition, the Secretary of Agri culture would be empowered to es tablish standard food grades, to li cense and control toe manufacture, storage and distribution of foods.

Secretary Lane told the conference that the, great destruction of ships was threatening' toe existence of Great Britain and France and menac ing toe United States. , No one, he said, knew the exact number of ships lost recently, but estimates' put last week’s submarine toll at four hun dred thousand tons. Later, he' ex plained that this estimate probably was too high. Secretary Lansing, in a statement during the day, declared; the serious ness of the submarine situation could not be exaggerated. Reports to toe State Department give a total of 80 vessels lost In one week. The British mission announced that the rate of destruction in recent weeks had continued unchanged, and that it showed no alarming increases.

Cheese factories in western North Carolina are certainly doing their bit In the production of food In this emerg ency. Thirteen factories operating upon the co-operative plan are already manufacturing 790,000 pounds of cheese, according to . Mr. A. J. Reed of the office of dairy farming, North Carolina experiment station. Mr. Reed states that .In addition to the amount of cheese now put on the market by these factories, the oldest , established in 1915, another man has been added and will push work of or ganizing and. constructing factories in the mountains of western North Car olina. At ,least twelve more factories will be in operation by the fall of the year. This means that probably a mil lion pounds of cheese will be produc ed beginning with the spring. This cheese is In addition to the beef that usually comes from this sec tion of the state. The thirteen factories, time of their establishment and probable output for 1917 are as follows: Cove Creek Co-Operative, Sugar Grove, 1915, 75,000 pounds; Grassy Creek Co-Operative)' Giassy Creek, 1915, 80,000 pounds; Beaver 'Creek Co-Operative, Beaver Creek, 1915, 45,- 000 pounds; Beaver Dam Co-Opera tive, Sweet Water, 1916, 60,000 pounds; Rich Mountain Cooperative Zionvihe, 1916, 66,000 pounds; Silver Stone Co- Operative, Viles, 1916, 70,000 pounds; anlel Boone Co-Operative, Sugar Grove, 26.000 pounds; Cane River Co-Opera tive, Bald Creek, 1916, 45,000 pounds; Twin Oak Co-Operative, Sparta, 1917, 65.000 pounds; New River Co-Opera tive, Crumpler, 1917, 66,000 pounds;; Helton Co-Operative, Sturgills, 1917, 60.000 pounds; Brushy Fork Co-Oper ative, Vilas, 1917, 50,000 pounds; Wa tauga Falls Co-Operative, Watauga Falls, 1917, 46,000 pounds. Sale of Red Cross Seals. With Greensboro leading Raleigh took second place In the sale of Red Cross Christmas Seals, according to announcement just made. Wilming ton’s sales entitled that city to third place. Greensboro sold 114,667 seals; Ral eigh, 108,848 and Wilmington, 90,040. The total number of seals sold in the state was 1,207,874, amounting to $12,- 078,74, which is an increase of 60 per cent, or $2,636.01 over the sale, of last year. Of this amount $7,298.39 were kept In the state by the local committees or those selling the seals; $1,206.32 was the amount sent to the National Asso ciation for the expense of the cam paign, patricularly for the printing and distribution of the seals, and with all other expenses paid, the net receipts of the 1916 campaign amounted to $2,- 035.77. “As glad as we are to have the amount to help carry on the work of controlling tuberculosis in the state," says Dr. L. B. McBrayer, “we believe that the educational value of the cam paign was much greater. Lieutenant- Governor Max Gardner said to me re cently that he believed that $75,000 was not too much to estimate the. edu cational value alone of the seal cam paign. That North Carolina won sec ond place In her group of states sell ing almost one seal per capita, or .999 for the population of the state, is an other source -of encouragement. We are now planning to hold our first meeting relative to the 1917 campaign in .May or the first of June.” ' *Demand For Agricultural Speakers. From the Governor’s office and from the various divisions of the State De partment of Agriculture come reports that the demand for,, speakers and ex perts on food crop cultivation coming In from all over the state .is so. heavy that it is impossible, to supply the . demand. Town, county and neighbor hood meetings, are. the order, of the day and indications, are that the In- cerase In food production, will be very great and that the. most signal success will come of ..the movement, for more food crops so strenuously launched and pressed ...ff>cward' by . Governor Bickett with, the) co-operation of indi viduals,and .organizations all over the state; ' ".. Fobd Burning Is Crime Now. “The ,burning up of- food at this time is a crime against humanity and its consequences directly opposed to the patriotic movement for conserva tion'of war time resolurces,” says In surance Commisaioaer James R. Yoimg in a lengthy • statement recent ly issued. "A movement is sweeping over the country for food conservation and for food preparedness unlike any move* men heretofore known. Farmers are patriotically responding to the call of national and state officials and plant ing foodstuffs instead of what are com monly- known as 'money crops/ This is one of the best forms of. prepared ness but while this is being done it is'well to obesrve- closely strictest care to prevent the destruction of crops after they have been harvested and stored by the burning of the barn, warehouse or storage house. A recent report of the National Board of Flre Underwriters says that the annual loss of-grain is not less than $10,000,- 000 at present prices and of cotton not less than $6,000,000. “Every bushel of grain, every pound or dozen of food units, every quantity of the necessaries of life or of of fensive or defensive activity destroyed, by fire, whether purposely or acciden tally occurring, detracts just so much from our country’s resources and po tentiality at this time when every such element may be vitally necessary in the undertaking of unknown extent in which our nation has engaged. “Fire is always the enemy of the human race, but, In wartime, fire is a traitor in camp, a foe In our trenches. Not only is waste by fire an unmiti gated calamity, but any fire waste is just that much ,of a burden at a time when the last straw may break the camel’s back. “In 1916 the fire loss of the United States was one twenty-eighth of the seven billion dollar war bend issue just authorized. Ahd the staggering thing about it is that most of this loss was due to carelessness In'one form or another. Plain lack of foresight and energetic preparedness against the flames were responsible. Let every person put the premises under his control in condition to repel the attacks of the enemy fire, thrice hid eous In war time.” Purchasing Beard to MeeL .. The recent Legislature constituted, through special act, the heads of the three state hospitals for insane and the State School for the -Blind, State School for Deaf and Dumb and that for Feeble-Minded, a special purchas ing board to purchase the supplies for the six institutions In bulk as an economy and systematization of the purchases for these institutions. The heads of the institutions have just had their initial conference here for organization and made Dr. John Campbell, of, the Western Hospital for Insane, Morganton, chairman, and Dr. Albert Anderson, of the Central Hospital, Raleigh, . secretary. The board decided to establish headquar ters at Raleigh and maintain a clerk and stenographer, the completion of the organization and establishment of the headquarters to be accomplished at an. adjourned meeting July I.

Young, Maj. Gordon Smith, brigade adjutant'; Lieut. Wallace Stone and Lieut. Rob ert Young, aides. No explanation was given for the order, but Colonel Hunt expressed his surprise that it has not been done be fore. The mustering out of part of the brigade, he explained, breaks up the organization into its component units and removes the necessity for the brigade headquarters. Upon the return of the Second Infantry from the border, brigade headquarters were or dered to Raleigh for muster out and Col. H. J. Slocum was ordered here to muster out the brigade headquarters. Order to suspend muster then came, leaving headquarters in the service. It is taken to mean here that the National Guard of the state may not be called into service for quite some time.

There lives in Rocky Mount today two of the immortal six who volun teered to charge -the house of Bethel, in which charge the life of Henry Wyatt, one of the six, was offered up as the first red sacrifice on the altar of Southern Confederacy. These liv ing heroes are John H. Thorpe and Robert H. Ricks. The story of the life of Mr. Ricks brings pride, to every North Carolinian. Not less re nowned in peace than in war, he has come to .fill a larger place in the In dustrial affairs of Rocky Mount and Nash county LUan any other individual. Mr. Ricks was born in Nash county In 1839 and lives now within three miles of his birthplace. Volunteerinig in the famous “Bethel Regiment” at the first bugle call to battle in 1861, sharing with his com rades the first honors of the war, the breast of Robert H. Ricks was bared to the enemy’s bullets hundreds of times in defense of his beloved South land. A»d when the star of the Con federacy ha.d finally set in agony and in tears behind the bloody horizon at Appomattox, Robert H. Ricks and his brave “Manly’s ' Battery” were still fighting. For this man never surrend ered. At Cold Harbor the wheels of the gun Mr. Ricks was operating were actually shot down with minie balls so completely that new wheels had to be put on before the gun could be moved, the only, instance of the kind on record,, and Mr. Ricks himself was struck five times In this one fight, yet his-battery never retreated. : He was' married in 1874 to Miss Temple Thorne. They have no child ren, bnt he has helped educate and in other ways, provided for many child ren who were not so well provided with this world’s goods. Ever a busy man "and much occupied with his large and varied business in terests, he has made sacrifices and found time to serve his county and state in a number of public stations, He has held numerous county offices, IIe was eiected to North Carolina House of Rmiresentatives In 1903 and to the State Senate in 1905, and has held several appointment positions for tlie state.

"He was coming, Henry, all the way —and he is sick—just to say it to you. Let him say it here, now.” “Go on!” cried De Spain roughly; “Say it.” "I’m not afraid of you, De Spain!” shouted the old man, his neck bared to the flying ice. “Don’t think it I You’re a better man than I am, better than I ever was—don’t think I don’t know that. But I’m not afraid of e’er a man I faced. De Spain; they’ll tell you that when I’m dead. All the trouble that ever come ’tween you and me come by an accident—come before you was born, and come through Dave Sassoon, and he’s held it over me ever since you come up into this country. I was a young fellow. Sassoon worked for my father. The cattle and sheep war was on, north of Medicine Bend. The Peace river sheepmen raided our place—your father was with them. He never did us no harm, but my brother, Bay Morgan, was shot In that raid by a man name of Jennings. I started out to get the man that shot him. Sas soon trailed him to the Bar M, the old De Spain ranch, working for your fa ther.” The words fell fast and In a fury. They came as If they had been choked back till they strangled. “Sassoon took me over there. TowarB night we got In sight of the ranchhouse. We saw a man down at the corral. ‘That’s Jennings,’ Sassoon says. I never laid eyes on him before—I never laid eyes on your father before. Both of us fired. Next day we heard your father was killed, and Jennings had left the country. Sassoon or I, one of us, killed your father, De Spain. If it was I, I did. it never knowing who he was, never meaning to touch him. I was after the man that killed my brother. Sassoon didn’t care which it was, never did, then nor never. But he held it over me to make trouble sometime ’twixt you and me. I was a young fel low. I thought I was revenging my brother. And if your father was killed by a patched bullet, his blood is not on me, De Spain, and never was. Sassoon always shot a patched bullet. I never shot one in my life. And Td never told you this of my own self. Nan said it was the whole truth from me to you, or her life. She’s as much mine as she is yours. I nursed her. I took care of her when there weren’t no other living soul to do it. She got me and herself out into this, this, morning. I’d never been caught like this if I’d had my way. I told her ’fore we’d been out an hour we’d .never see the end of it. She said she’d rather die in It than you’d think she quit you. I told her I’d go on with her and do as she said—that’s why we’re here, and that’s the whole ■ truth, so help me God! “I ain’t afraid of you, De Spain. Fll give you whatever you think’s coming to you with a rifle or a gun any time, anywhere—you’re a better man than I am or ever was, I know ihat—and that ought to satisfy you. Or, I’ll stand my trial, if you say so, and tell the truth.” The Ice-laden wind, as De Spain stood still, swept past the little group with a sinister roar, insensible alike to its emotions and its deadly peril. IVithln the shelter of his arm he felt the yielding form of the .indomitable girl who, by the power of love, .had wrung from the outlaw his reluctant story—the story of the. murder that had stained with its red strands the relations of each of their lives to both the others. He felt against his heart the faint trembling of her frail body. Se, when a boy, he had held In his hand a fluttering bird and fell; the whirring beat of its frightened heart egainst his strong, cruel fingers. A. sudden aversion to more blood shed, a sickening of vengeance, swept over him as her heurt mutely beat for mercy against his heart. She had done more than any man could do. "Ow. she waited on him. Both his anus wrapped round her. In the breath less embrace that drew her closer she fead her answer from him. She looked uP into his eyes and waited. “There’s ®ore than what’s between you and me, "dke, facing us now,” said De Spain sternly, when he turned. “We’ve got t0 get Nan out of this—even if we uon’t get out ourselves. Where do you figure we are?” he cried. I figure we’re two miles north of e Iuva beds, De Spain,” shouted Morgan. . .. f . ’ "J?e Spain shook his head in dissent. fien where are we?” demanded the won rudely. But -.ueJlt not to say. against you., iiiiin l ve got t0 SneSS, I say twofnr o, Either way, we must try sleepy ‘ right?” Ieam is all right. We tore a wheel Cat .Is your team all near off getting out of the lava. The wagon’s done for.” De Spain threw the fur coat at “Put it on,” he said. “We’ll look at the wheel.” They tried together to wrench it into shape, but worked without avail. In the end they lashed it, put Nan on the Lady, and walked behind while Oie team pushed into the pitiless wind. Morgan wanted to cut the wagon away and take to the horses, but De Spain said, not till they fopnd a trail or the stage road. So much snow had fallen that in spite of the blizzard, driving with an unrelenting fury, the drifts were deep ening, packing,Aand makittg all”effort increasingly difficult It was well-nigh lmpossibleto bead’the horses into the storm, and De Spain looked’with ever more anxious eyes at Nan. After half -an hour’s superhuman struggle to re gain a trail that should restore their bearings, they halted, and De Spain, riding up to the wagonf spoke to Mor gan, who was driving: “How long is this going to last?” c “All day and all night.” Nan leaned closely over to hear the curt question and answer. Neither man spoke again for a moment “We’ll have to have help,;’ said De Spain after a pause. “Help?” echoed Morgan scornfully. “Where’s help coming from?” De Spain’s answer was not hurried. "One of us must go after it.” Nan looked at him intently. Duke set his hard jaw against the hurtling stream of ice that showered on the forlorn party. ‘Til go for it,” he snapped. “No,” returned De Spain. “Better for me to go.” “Go together,” said Nan. De Spain shook his head. Duke Morgan, too, said that only one should go; the other must, stay. De Spain, while the storm rattled and shook at the two men, told why he should go himself. “It’s not claiming you are not entitled to say who should go, Duke.” he said evenly. “Nor that our men, anywhere you reach, wouldn’t give you the same attention they would me. And it isn’t saying that you’re not the better man for the job—you’ve trav eled the sinks longer than I have. But between you and me, Duke, it’s twenty- eight years against fifty.- I ought to hold out a while the longer, that’s all. Let’s work farther to the east.” Quartering against the mad hurri cane, they drove and rode on until the team could hardly be urged to further effort against the infuriated elements —De Spain riding at intervals as far to the right and the left as he dared In vain quest of a landmark. When hie halted beside the wagon for the last time he was a mass of snow and ice; horse and rider were frozen to each other. He got down to the ground with, a visible effort, and In the singing wind told Duke his plan and purpose. He had chosen on the open desert a hollow falling somewhat abruptly from the north, and beneath its shoul der, while Morgan loosened the horses, he scooped and kicked away a mass of snow. The wagon had been drawn just above the point of refuge, and the two men, with the aid of the wind, dumped it over sidewise, making of the body a windbreak over the hollow, a sort of roof, around which the snow, driven by the. gale, would heap itself In hard waves. Within this shelter the men stowed Nan. The horses were driven down behind it, and from one of them De Spain took the collar, the tugs and the whiffletrees. He stuck a hitching strap in his pocket, and while Morgan steadied the Lady’s head, De Spain buckled the collar on her, doubled the tugs around the whiffle- tree, and fastened the roll at ,her side in front of the saddle. Nan came out and stood beside him as he worked. When he hafi finished she put her hand on his sleeve. He held her close, Duke listening, to tell her what he meant to try to do. Each knew it well might be the last moment together. “One tiling and another have kept us from marriage vows, Nan,” said De Spain, beckoning at length to Morgan to step closer that he might clearly hear. “Nothing must keep us longer. Will you marry me?” She looked up into his eyes. “I’ve promised you I would. I will promise every time you ask me. I never Could have but one answer to that, Henry— it must always be yes I” “Then take me, Henry,” he said slowly, “here and now for your wedded husband. Will you do this, Nan?” Still looking into his eyes, she an swered without surprise or fear: “Hen ry, I do take you.” * “And I, Henry, take you, Nan, here and now for my wedded wife, for bet ter for worse,, for richer for poorer, from this day forward, until death us do part.”They sealed their pact with a silent embrace. De Spain turned to Duke. “You are the witness of this marriage, Duke. You will see, if an accident happens, that anything, everything I have—some personal property—my fa ther’s old ranch north , of Medicine Bend—some little money in bank at Sleepy Cat—goes to my wife, Nan Mor gan de Spain. Will you see to it?” ‘Twill. And if it comes to me—you, De Spain, will see to it that what stock I have in the gap goes to my niece, Nan, your wife.” She looked from one to the other of the two men. “All that I have,” she said In turn, “the lands in the gap, ev erywhere around Music mountain, go to'you two equally together, or which ever survives. - And if you both live, and I do not, remember my last mes- sage_bury the past in my grave.” Duke Morgan tested the cinches of the saddle on the Lady once more, un loosed the tugs once more from the horse’s shoulder, examined each buckle of the collar and every inch of the two strips of leather, the re-enforced fas tenings on the whiffletree, rolled-all up again, strapped it, and stood by the head Oil De Spain swung up into the saddle. He bent down once to whis per a last word of cheer to his wife, and, without looking back, headed the Lady into the storm. CHAPTER XXX. Gambling With Death. Beyond giving his. horse a safe head way from the shelter, De Spain made- little effort to guide her. He had cho sen the Lady, hot because Ahe was fresher, for she was not,, but because he believed she possessed’of the three horses the clearest instinct to bring her through the fight for the Hves that were at stake.- He did not deceive him self with the idea he could do anything to help the beast find a way to succor; that instinct rested wholly In the La dy’s head, not In his. He only knew that if she could not get back to help, he could not. BDis own part in- the effort was quite outside any aid to the Lady—it was no more than to reach alive whatever aid she could find, that he might direct it to where Nan and her companion would endure a few hours longer the fury of the storm. His own struggle for life, he real ized, was with the wind-Hhe roaring wind that hurled its broadsides of fro zen snow in monstrous waves across the maddened sky, challenging every living thing. It drove icy knives into his face and ears, paralyzed In its swift grasp his muscles and sinews, fought the stout flow of blood through his veins, and searched his very heart to still it.. Encouraging the Lady with kind words, and caressing her in her grop ing efforts as she turned head and tail from the blinding sheets of snow and ice, De Spain let her drift, hoping she might bring them through, what he confessed In his heart to be, the nar rowest of chances. ■ He bent low in his saddle under the unending blasts. He buffeted his legs and arms to fight off the fatal cold. He sUpped more than once from his seat, and with a hand on the pommel tramped beside the horse to revive his failing circulation, there would come a time, he realized,- when he could no longer climb up again, but he staved that issue off to the last possible mo ment of endurance, because the Lady made better time when he was on her back. When the struggle to remount had been repeated until nature could no longer by any staggering effort be made to respond to his will, until his legs were no longer a part of his be numbed being—until below his hips he had no body answerable to his com mands, but only two insensible masses of lead that anchored him to the ground—he still forced the frozen feet to carry him, in a feeble, monstrous gait beside the Lady, while he dragged with his hands on the saddle for her patient aid. One by one every thought, as if con gealed in their brain ceUs, deserted his mind—save the thought that he must not freeze to death. .More than once he had hoped the insensate fury of the blizzard might abate. The Lady had long since ceased to try to face it— like a stripped vessel before a hurri cane, she was drifting under it. De Spain realized that his helpless legs would not carry him farther. His hands, freezing to the pommel, no longer supported him. They finally sUpped from it and he feU prostrate In the snow beside his horse. When he would, cry out to her his frozen Ups could mumble no words. It was the fight no longer of a man against na ture, but only of an indomitable soul against a cruel, hateful death. He struggled to his feet only to fall again more heavily. He pulled himself up this time by the stirrup strap, got his hands and arms up to the pommel, and clung to it for a few paces more. But lie fell at last, and could no longer rise from the ground. The storm swept un ceasingly on. • The Lady, checked by the lines wrapped on his arm, stopped. De Spain lay a moment, then hacked her up a step, pulled her head down by the bridle', clasped his wooden arms around her neck, spoke to her, and, lifting her head, the mare dragged him to his feet. Clumsily and helplessly he loosened the tugs and the whiffle- tree, beat his hands together with idi otic effort, hooked the middle point of the whiffletree into the elbow of his left arm, brought the forearm and hand against his shoulder, and with the hitching strap lashed his forearm and upper arm tightly together around the whiffletree. He drew the tugs stiffly over the Lady’s back, unloosed the cinches of the saddle, pushed it off the horse and, sinking into the snow behind her, struck with his free arm at her feet. BeUeved of the saddle, the Lady once more started, dragging slowly behind her through the snow a still breathing human being. Less than an hour be fore it had b.een a man. It was hardly more now, as the Lady plodded-on, than an insensate log. But not even death-could part it again from the horse to ’which De Spain, alive, had fastened it. . The fearful pain from the tortured arm, torn at times almost from its socket* the gradual snapping of strain ing Ugaments, the constant rupture of capillaries- and veins sustained . his consciousness for a while. Then the torturing pain abated, the rough drag ging shattered the bruised body less. It was as if the Lady and the storm together were making easier for the slowly dying man his last trail across the.desert He stillstruggledtokeeti alive, by sheer will power, flickering sparks of consciousness, and to do so concentrated every thought on Nan. It was a poignant happiness to summon j her picture to his fainting senses; he knew he should hold to life as Tong as he could think of- her. Love, stronger. than death, welled in his heart lie bitter cold and the merci less wind were kinder as he called her image from out of the storm. She seemed to speak—to lift him on her arms. Ahead, distant mountains rose, white-peaked. The-sun shone. He rode with her through green fields, and a great peace rested on his weary senses. • * * • • • * Lady Jane, pushing on and on, en- Ughtened by that instinct before which .the reason of man is weak; and ptttful,. seeing, as it were, .through the,-im penetrable curtain .of the storm where refuge lay, herself a slow-moving crust of frozen snow, dragged to her jour ney’s end—to the tight-shut doors of the Calabasas barn—her unconscious burden, and stood before them patient ly waiting until 'someone-should open for her. It was one of the heartbreaks of tragic day that no one ever knew just when the Lady reached the door or how long she and her unconscious master waited in the storm for admis sion. A. startled exclamation from John Lefever, who had periodically and anxiously left the red-hot stove in .the office to walk moodily to the window, brought the men tumbling over one another as he ran from his companions to throw open the .outer dotfr and pull the drooping horse into the barn. It was the Indian, Scott, who, read ing first of all the men everything in the dread story, sprang forward with a stifled exclamation, as the horse dragged in the snow-covered log, whipped a knife from his pocket, cut the incumbered arm .and 'white hand free from the whiffletree, and, carry ing the stiffened body into the office, began with insane haste to cut away the clothing. - Lefever, perceiving it was De Spain thus drawn to their feet, shouted, while he tore from the blade of Scott’s knife the frozen garments, the orders for the snow, the heated water, the' warm blankets, the alcohol and bran dy, and, stripped to his waist, chafed the marble feet. The Indian, better than a staff of doctors, used the cun ning of a sorcerer to revive the spark of inanimate life not yet extinguished by the storm. A fearful interval of suspense followed the silence into which the work settled, a silence bro ken only by the footsteps of men run ning to and from the couch over which Scott, LefevOr and McAlpin, half- naked, worked in mad concert. De Spain opened his eyes to wander from one to the other of the faces. He half -rose up, struggling in a frenzy with the hands that restrained him. While his companions pleaded to quiet him, he fought them until, restored to Itg seafof reason, his mind reassert ed itself, and, lying exhausted, he told them in his exquisite torture of whom he had left, and what must be done to find and bring them In. While the relief wagons, equipped with straining teams and flanked by veteran horsemen, were , dashing out of the barn, he lapsed into uncon sciousness. But he had been able to hold Scott’s hand long enough to tell him he must find Nan and bring her in, or never come back. It was Scott who found her. In their gropings through the blizzard the three had wandered nearer Calabasas than any one of them dreamed. And on the open desert, far south and east of the upper lava beds, it was Scott’s horse that put a foot through the bottom of the overturned wagon box. The sus pected mound of snow, with the buried horses scrambling to their feet, rose upright at the crash. Duke crouched, half-conscious, under the rude shelter. Lying where he had placed her, snugly between the horses, Scott found Nan. He spoke to her when she opened her staring eyes, picked her up in his arms, called to his companions for the covered wagon, and began to restore her, without a moment of delay, to life. He ev.en promised if she. would drink the hateful draft he put to her lips and let him cut'away her shoes and leggings and the big coat frozen on her, that in less than an hour she should see Henry de Spain alive and well. CHAPTER XXXI. At Sleepy Cat. Nothing in nature, not even the storm itself, is so cruel as the beauty of the after calm. In the radiance of the sunshine next day De Spain, deli- rious and muttering, was taken to the hospital at Sleepy Cat. In an adjoin ing room lay Nan, moaning reproaches at those who were torturing her reluc tantly back to Ufa. Dayandnightthe doctors worked over the three. The town, the division, the stagemen and the mountain men watched the out come of tile struggle. From as far as Medicine Bend railroad surgeons came to aid in the fight. De Spain cost the most acute anxi ety. The crux of the battle, after the three, lives were held safe, centered on the effort to save'De Spain’s arm—the one he had chosen to lose, if he must lose one, when he strapped it to the whiffletree. The day the surgeons agreed that if his life were to be saved the arm must come off at the shoulder a gloom feU on the community. In a lifetime of years there can come to the greater part of us but a few days, a few hours, sometimes no more than a single moment, to show of what stuff we are really made. Such a crisis came that day to Nan. Already she had been wheeled more, than once Into De Spain’s room, to sit where she could help woo'him back to life. The chief surgeon, In the morning;, told Nan of the decision. In her hospital bed she rose bolt upright. “No!” she. declared solemnly. “You shan’t take his arm off I” The surgeon met her rebellion tact fully. But he told Nan, at last, that De Spain must lose either his arm or his life. “No,” she repeated without hesitation and without blanching, “you shan’t take off his arm. He shan’t lose his life.” The blood surged Into , her cheeks— better blood and redder'than the doc tors, had been able to bring there—such blood as De Spain alone could call into them. Nan, with her nurse’s help, dressed, Joined De Spain, and talked long' and earnestly. “ The 'doctors,’ fob, laid the-situation before- him. When they asked Jiim for his decision, he nodded . Toward ' Nan. “She will tell you, gentlemen, what well do.” And Nan did tell them what the two who had most at. stake In the decision would do. Any man could have done as much as that But Nan did more. She set herself out to save the arm and patient both, and, lest the doctors should change their tactics, and move together on the arm surreptitiously, Nan stayed night ,and day with De Spain, until he was able to make such active use of either arm as to convince her that he and not the surgeons would soon-need the'mo'st’watching. Afterward when'Nan, in- some doubt, asked the chaplain whether she was married or single, he obligingly offered to ratify and confirm the desert'ceremony. This affair was the occasion for an extraordinary round-up at Sleepy Cat. Two long-hostile elements—the stage and railroad men and the Calabasas- Morgan gap contingent of mountain men, for once-at-least, fraternized. Warrants were 'pigeonholed,' suspicion suspended, sidearms neglected in their scabbards. The fighting inen of both camps, in the presence of a ceremony that united De Spain and Nan Morgan, could not but feel a generous elation. Each party considered that it was con tributing to the festivity in the bride and groom' and the very best each could boast, and no false note dis turbed the harmony of the notable day. - Gale Morgan, having given up the fight,' had left the country. Satterlee Morgan danced till all the platforms In town gave-way. John Lefever attend ed the groom, and Duke Morgan stern ly but without compunction, gave the bride. From Medicine. Bend, FarreU Kennedy brought a notable company of De Spain's early associates for the event. It included Whispering Smith, whose visit to Sleepy Cat on this oc casion was the first In years; George McCloud, who had come all the way from Omaha to join his early comrades in arms; Wickwire, who had lost none of his taciturn bluntness—and so many train dispatchers that the service on the division was crippled for the entire day. A great company of self-appointed retainers gathered together from over all the country, rode behind the gayly decorated bridal coach in procession from the church to Jeffries’ house, where, the feasts had been prepared. During the reception a modest man, dragged from an obscure corner among the guests, was made to take his place ■next Lefever on the receiving line. It was Bob Scott, and he looked most un comfortable until he found a chance to sUp unobserved back to- the side of the room where the distinguished Medicine Bend contingent, together with McAlpin, Pardaloe, Elpaso and Bull Page, sUghtly unsteady but ex tremely serious for the grave occasion, appeared vastly uncomfortable to gether. * • • • • * * The railroad has not yet been built across the sinks to Thief River. But only those who lived Ifi Sleepy Cat In its really wild stage days, are entitled to. call themselves early settlers, or to tell stories more or less authentic about what then happened. The great er number of the Old Guard of that day, as cankering peace gradually re asserted itself along the sinks, turned from the stage coach to the railroad coach ; some of them may yet be met on the trains in the mountain country. Wherever you happen to find such a one, he will tell you of the days when Superintendent de Spain of the West ern division wore a gun. in the moun tains and used it, when necessary, on his wife’s relations. Whether it was this stern sense of discipline or not that endeared him to the men, these old-timers are, to a man, very loyal to the young couple who united in their marriage the two hostile mountain elements. One In especial,- a white-haired old' man, de scribed, by thft fanciful as a retired outlaw, living yet on Nan’s ranch in the gap, always spends his tinie In town at the De' Spain' home, where he takes great interest in an. active little boy, Morgan. de Spain, who waits for his Uncle Duke’s coming, and digs into his pockets for rattlM cap tured along the trail from recent huge rattlesnakes. When his unde happens to kill a- big one—one with twelve or thirteen rings and a button—Morgan uses it to scare his younger sister. Nan. And Duke, secretly rejoicing at his bravado but scolding sharply, helps him adjust the old ammunition belt dragged from the attl;, and cuts fresh gashes in it to make It fit the childish waist. His mother d< esn’t like to see her son in warlike eqi ipment, ambush ing little Nan in the way Bob Scott says the Indians used to do.. She' threatens periodically to burn the belt up and throw the old rifles out of the house. But when she sees her uncle and her husband watching the boy and laughing at the parade together, she relents. It is only children, after nli, that keep the woild young; (THE BROKEN DOWH IH HHiTH W om an T eIk H ow $ 5 W orth o f P inkham k C om pound M a d e H e rW e H Ltiaa.

On the. average farm it is not prac tical, because of rush of work, to hatch chtpkens extremely early, hence -they . do not reach the market early enough I in the spring to bring the best prices. I The price, of course, depends upon the market/and the demand. Growing broilers for market is a spe cialized industry and is not always profitable. On the large markets broil ers are classified as small, medium and large. They weigh from three-quarters of a pound to a pound and one-half each. Young chickens as sold by farmers are frequently not properly fattened, no attempt being made to get maxi mum returns. Confining broilers in crates holding from six to eight birds and feeding, an exclusive diet of wet mash, composed of commeal and wheat middlings mixed with sour milk or buttermilk the consistency of bat ter, gives best results, ,but broilers thus fattened lose weight quickly when shipped alive. For the farmer this method is usually impracticable. A better method is that of confining young cockerels in groups of 25 to 30 in a small pen where their exercise is restricted. Feeding the birds cracked corn helps the quality of the meat and increases the weight con siderably. TH BEST SHIPMENT OF POULTRY Many Processes Gone Through Before Product Reaches Consumer-Keep All Culls at Home. (By F , E. M IXA.) Before poultry reaches the consum er, it has to go through many proc esses: From the farm the poultry is marketed as It runs;, large, small, fat, lean, sick, and deformed. Very little attention is given to the quality of the product, yet it would be money In the pocket of the farmer were he to keep out the culls for his own use or dispose of those which were-unfit for food, elsewhere beside on the mar ket The shipping of poultry to a com- mission merchant or firm is quite a common practice near large cities.

' This seems to be quite a satisfactory Way. It has advantages and disad- i vantages. A car of poultry shipped to New York city from Kansas City I raises the price per pound from 3% j to 4 cents, and before the consumer I gets it, it is raised 1% to 2 cents more i per pound. Yet the results obtained : are usually in favor of this method of j marketing. Large commission con- I cerns have adequate facilities for han- • dting both live and dressed poultry, thus assuring good care of the prod uct until it has been sold. It is es sential that the product be the best grade possible to get the best results. PICK FEATHERS FROM GEESE Operation Should Not Be Performed Until Warm Weather Sets In, Usually About May 20. : Geese should not be picked until warm weather sets In, usually about the 20th of May.

Mr. Craven returned home the last of the week, but Mrs. Craven and children will remain for some time. The practical meeting is still in progress at the Methodist church. Rev.

Sheriff George Winecoff, who has been ill for past two weeks with smllapox, is much improved, his friends will be glad to learn. It is hoped that all precautions will be taken and that no new cases of the disease will develop. ’ Robert A. Blaylock, while driving his hearse team last Friday, bad a runaway, as a result of his horse3 coming into too close proximity to some elephants which were travel ing through the country. The team ran into a tree and did some dam age to the funeral car. The horses were soon captured unhurt. From Rowan. Wheat is looking fairly well where there 13 a stand. Corn is slow coming up. Most of the cotton seeds are planted and some of them up and suffering from the much cool wpather. Everybody seems to be set on Irish potatoes; also vegetables of various kinds are considered as import ant plants of the truck farms. The paes- ent high prices will lead the farmers to fail back on their own resources; and we believe they are tending every available foot of land to meet the demands of our country. Death seems to claim grown people mostly this spring. Some weeks ago Mr, A. L. Peeler, of the Rowan Artillery Co., was called to rest. A little later, Mr. P. A. Peeler the famous merchant, and one the best men of Faith, and son-in-law of Observer, died, and it was said the funeral services were attended by the largest, col lection of people ever known'at that .place. On last Sunday the body of'Miss Pearl Holthouser about 13 years old. was laid to rest at Christiana. She was one of our best girls; when tbe Angel came for her she tried to clap her bands and left us with a smile. We are having plenty of Tain at this time and still have some fruit; but cannot say it will stand these cold rains. As to war, it seems that we are in it; 4he next thing is to meet the circumstances in the most successful way; and Observer believes in directions of a wise Providence in all things: we should not look 'to our selves alone, but humble ourselves before the Almighty and ask for His directions' Recruited To War Strength!

OUR MISSIONARY QUESTION BOX, EDITED BY BERTHA MARVIN LEE. 1. Who was the first Christian mission ary of New Testment Times?PauL .His story is found in tbe Book of Acts. At first Paul persecuted Christians; but after his conversion he went on Iongjoumeys andpreachedJesus to the people and-many of them became.Christi- ans. Many times he was badly treated and he was often tired and ill; but his heart was so full of love to God that he did hot mind how hard he worked nor how much he suffered, if he could make others love Jesus too. 2. What missionary hero of today has proved to the world the power of Christ?Baron Tun, a well known patriot and Christian educator. He is scholarly, witty, and bom leader, of men. He had offered to him inany worldly honors, but his re ply was always:. “I can neither be per suaded nor purchased. I am a minister of Gospel of Christ, and my business is to make men out of Korean boys.” He was tbe innocent victim of a political plot and suffered for several years in a Japanese prison. WhiletheretIike Paul he preach ed Christ to his fellow—prisoners. Hav ing been set free, he is again about bis Master’s business in Korea. Wants Work On The Farm. Mr. Clarence N.

The National Pire Protective Asso ciation is an organization formed with two well defined objects in view, and ■to a large extent its work has divided In a natural way, but with full co operation between the two branches, experience and skill to the prepara tion of these standards without hope of reward other 'than the satisfaction which comes to those who know they have contributed to a worthy cause. The educational branch is performing a service, the value of which cannot be overestimated. It is leading a gen eral campaign against waste by lire. From this brief statement of the Association’s activities you will see that there is an opportunity for every man to perform some sort of service. —Pres. Chas- E. Meeks. 'r Objective View. 1. The adoption by municipalities of the Standard Building Code of the National Board of Flre Underwriters to the end that fire resistive building construction may be encouraged, the use of inflammable roof coverings pro hibited, adequate exit facilities from buildings assured, and interiors so de? signed and fire-stopped as to make easy the extinguishment of fires there in. 2. The adoption by all States of minimum building requirements for the protection of state and county hos pitals, asylums and similar Institu tions outside city limits and of small communities In which the establish ment and enforcement of a building code is impracticable. 4. The adoption of the Association's suggested ordinance providing for the systematic inspection of all buildings ■by city fire marshals or local firemen to insure the vigorous enforcement of rules for clealiness, good housekeep ing, and the maintenance of safe and unobstructed exits, fire fighting appa ratus and other protective devices, B. The enactment of similar to that of Cleveland, Ohio, fix ing the cost of.extinguishing prevent able fires upon citizens disregarding fire prevention orders, and a more gen eral legal recognition of the common law pr«iciple of personal liability for damage resulting from fires due to carelessness or neglect. 6. The wider general use of the automatic sprinkler as a fire exting uishing agent and life saver and the more general adoption of the fire div ision wall as an important life-saving exit facility.

WHAT HAVE YOU GOT7 Take your own case for instance. Suppose a fire started In your home tonight while you were asleep. What means have you at hand to put the fire out. Suppose a fire started this minute in your home while you are away. How would it be extingushed without the help of the city fire de partment? Is there an extinguisher in your home? Is there even a Are pail or a bucket of sand? In ninety-nine cases out of every hundred it is safe to wager there is net. Even negative precautions are not taken.

MAY 16. 1917.NUMBER 44 DAVIE COUNTY 50 YEARS AGO. The Name# of Those Who PreachedThe Goopel in The Long Ago. Most of the preachers in Davie SO years ago were home folks, neighbors and fel- low-citizens They were what we call now, “local preachers." They owned their homes where they lived, reared families and died in common with other citizens. They were heart and soul -.personally in* ierested in everything pertaining to the social, mental, business and religious life of their respective communities. They were in a most sacred two-fold sense -home missionaries.” As they were to live and die with one people, it was their highest and noblest aim to live-pure and holy lives before and among that people; and thus bring no reproach on their re ligion and calling. Most of them farmed or ran a business for a iiving. And most of them had very limited education. They depended upon the plain word and the guidance of the Holy Spirit in selecting and preparing their sermons. And God helped and wonderfully blessed their preaching. They were not time-servers, gospel peddlers, going from field or terri tory to territory selling or repeating old lifeless sermons, gotten out of a trunk. It is true the folks would not have known where and how the preacher got his ser mon, but Christ would, and without his blessing the sermon would become as sounding brass or a tinkling symbal. Did you ever bear such a sermon? Every ser mon. fresh from heaven and fully charged with the Holy Spirit, will impress and af fect the congregation. Never saw it fail. We will mention a few of the preach ers we first knew. The first four were Baptist preachers. Rev. C. W. Bessent lived at Jerusalem. He started and built that village. He was a farmer, ran a tan yard, a store and finally manufactured tobacco. With and besides all thte, he was one of the best read gospel preachers of his dav. He served several churches as pastor—Fork Church and Jerusalem a- rnong them. At one - time, he was the ablest preacher in Yadkin Baptist Associa tion. Rev. William Turner, whose home was in Salem, was pastor of Fork Church. Then we would father hear him than 'any preacher in his day. He could preach the Word with more force and power than any of his day. Rev. Anderson Daniels lived in Jerusalem township, and was a farmer. He was a good, consecrated preacher. Everybody had confidence in him.. He would preach around at school houses, and conduct prayer meetings at the homes of the brethren. But he never was a pastor as we recalL He served his day and generation as a true witness for Christ. Rev. John Redwine, as we re member, was a renter, and thesefore lived in different parts of the county. But wherever he lived, he had appointments and preached. He lived in Fulton and Jerusalem townships when we knew and heard him. He never was a pastor as we remember. He was one of the most hum ble and sweetest spirited men we ever knew. Was that way everywhere. He was a soldier in the Confederate war. Thatwastheplace to try qoen’s souls. Uncle Mike Click was in his Company. We heard Uncle say that if there ever was a good man in the world, that man was John Redwine- He said while in the war one cold morning. Redwine was down over the ashes and embers trying to kin dle a fire. Uncle Mike said one of the soldiers started after some fresh water, and as he passed, he threw the half buck et of water right down where Redwine was blowing the embers, 7 and filled his eyes and mouth full of the ashes, yet he never uttered a complaint or lost his tem per. From that day, the whole company loved and reverenced him and sought his company and attended his tent prayer meetings, at which several soldiers were converted. Meekness is one of the strong est attributes of a preacher. It is Christ- like. If every preacher was like Redwine. they would soon conquor the world for Christ. The first Baptist evangelist that ever preached in Davie was Rev. E. Allison, at Jerusalem. He was a low built, half Irishman. At that time he lived here in Hickoryina log hut, the first Baptist lieacher that ever lived here. And it was said he would play with the few boys wno lived here then, which was all in woods, now thickly settled. And when we bought and built a home here in -1897, ■t was right on the same spot that log hut stood. Rev. Allison is still living at Hen dersonville, and is a hearty, cheerful, good old man, • i ^he next evangelist was Rev. F. M. Jor- He held two meetings in Davie, one at Jerusalem and one at Mocksville. He was the most pointed and impressive Preacher that ever preached in' thecoy [v' Ce, too. is still living and his home I3at Hendersonville. Neither of these evangelists are doing regular preaching n°w. ThefirstiBaptist pastor'^ho was called and came to do pastoral work in the county, was Rev. W. R. Gwaltney. 8 sefVed Mocksville and Jerusalem dan. churches. and perhaps others. At first, e walked around to his appointments, even from Mocksville, where he: liyefi, to Jerusalem. The people generally “chip ped in” as was called then, and bought him a “claybank” horse, and a “carryall” as such was called. Rev. Gwaltney went from Mocksville to Winston, then Hills boro. Raleigh, Wake Forest and then here to Hickory where he did his best work for six years, dying about nine years ago, and his grave and monument remains with us as a daily reminder of his glorious life and work. He was our pastor in his first pastorate in Davie, and our pastor in his last pastorate in the world, here in Hickory. He was followed as pastor in Davie by Rev. Gower, Rev. Cashwell and others. Cashwell came from Davie here and preceded Rev. Gwaltney here. In our next will take up other preachers in the county. J. F. CLICK. Hickory, N. C. Welfare Work At Ctjoleemee. A. W. Cline, in Winston JournaL Two miles from Oooleemee Junc tion, on the Winston-Salem-to Charlotte branch of the Southern railroad, is located the cotton mill village of Cooleemee. The Prwin Cotton Mill Company with large holdings at Durham and elsewhere,' owns the mill together with sever al thousands acres of. land sur rounding. The mill is one of the largest in this section of the State. It takes a bale of cotton and turns it out finished -cloth. The idea of this story is to tell something of the welfare work a- mong the employees and of the improvements going on, on the grounds. Tl e streets are systematical!} Iaidotfaod have been graded un der the supervision of a natural born engineer. Mr. Q. M. Good man, the outside foreman. Dot ing the last yeai, most of the crocks and turns have been straigbteued out of the principal streets and the hills pulled down. Only recently, Mr. Goodman has had a force ot men engaged in planting a hedge around the en"*! tire mill village. A park has been laid off aud a hedge planted a- round it. IightB strong through it and seats placed in it. This one feature is worth many times what it cost to arrange it. Here the young people meet during the summer evenings and spend a- while in wholesome iecreation. Young ladies’ club meets in an especially arranged room once each week, under directiou of Mrs. J. H. L Bice, wife of the cashier of the BaDk of Cooleemee. This organization has its motto the training of the young women for home life. Lectures on practical home work, such as- cooking and sewing, are given at each meeting by the leader, or some invited speaker. The membership num bers about 50. The town has an electric light and water svstem. The water supply comes from a deep well, and analysis has always shown it to be of the very purest. The town also boasts of a picture show at which some.of the best travel ing vaudeville shows on the road occasionally stop. Cooleemee is a church going town. Most of the leading de nominations are represented and in most instances each congre gation supports its own pastor. January 1.1917. the mill paid to its employees a bonus, based upon points made in their work duriDg the year. Several thou sand dollars was distributed in this way, aud by this act the mill company will obtain from their employees more and better work next year, as the offer has been re newed. Theslogan, tiBaise more food stuffs this year.’’ ie being put into force in Cooleemee. Every avail able bit of ground iB being planted in something. Tbe managers of mill »re encouraging (he planting of gardens in a number of ways. From the looks of things, Coolee mee will raise vegetables the com ing year to feed itself, both through the summer and winter, if the surplus is taken care of. Oo account of the splendid way the employes are treated, the mill company is mot bothered with lab or troubles. Many families have been living in the village and workibg in the mill since itfi foundation. American farmers are moblizing for the new spring drive. Get Rid Of Yoar Rheumatism.

The words above quoted came from a Methodist preacher. Tom P. Jimison, and what provoked the “saying of them same words” was the refusal of a mauager of a cot ton mill up at Lexington, N. C., to allow Mr. Jimison to preach in the chapel mill owned, unleBs the preacher would agree not to preach about certain things that the mi)l superintendent said he should not preach about. The name Jimison sounds Irish and the words of his mouth sound Trish-American. Glory be to Jimison. Strength to his arm and mouth.—Monroe Ea quirer. Takes It Philosophically. The question as to whether the Editor of this paper believed in war before Congress declared it or is iu favor of it now is not of vital importance. We want to say how ever that we have always thought certain steps had been taken two years ago by our governments it could have bc&n avoided. Those steps were not taken and we have beeninvolved in the controversy ever since whether before now made a formal declaration of it- or not. The vital question now is what are we going to do about it?

OVER SIX YEARS LATER. Mrs. Holo- bough said: “At times, my back gets lame and causes me so much misery that I can hardly get about to do my house work. Doan’s Kidnev Pills always re lieve me of the trouble.” Price 50c. at all dealers. Don't simply ask for a kidney remedy—get Doan’s Kid ney Pills—the same that Mrs. Holobough has twice publicly recommended. Foster- ; Milburn Co., Props.. Buffalo. N. Y. Summer Goods Are Ready.

I a s i Wbat we need in this conntry to day is more religion—religion that will make a man pay his grocery bill, his doctor and his editor. Such religion is the right kind and the only kind. True religion compels : man to deal honestly with his fellow man. If we haven’t that kind we are still groping in the dark. ; SAM FERABEE'S GARDEN. For some time past we have been reading in various papers about Sam Ferabee’s garden, and what a great farmer he was. % Now. lest some of our readers are not acquainted with Sam, we will pause long enough to introduce • him. When he is not farming he‘edits the Hickory Daily Record and boosts Teddy Roosevelt Sam is a Democrat, but he is also a great admirer of the “Bull Mooser.” But back to the farm. Reading so much about Sam’s garden, we de cided to make a trip to Hickory and take a look, so a few days ago we went up. We have only one regret .—that the editor of The Landmark wasn’t along. Shortly after our ar rival in the growing city we hunted up Sam, who was busy swiping editorials out of the Springfield Re publican, which is also Democratic. But Sam threw down his editorial shears and his local pen and carried Usoif to see his garden. At this point we might remind our readers that we are like unto George Wash ington—we cannot tell a lie. We found the garden—or what Sam call ed the garden. In the rear of his domicle, surrounded by tall and stately oaks, we found a small clear ed place about the size of -The Record ofjBce, which was amply shad ed during ali hours. In this cleared space we found that Sam had invest- $115 in Irish potatoes, which plant ed a row and a half, and will pos sibly produce between a peck and a half bushel of tubers this summer. Adjoining the potatoes we found what had once been about 25 cau- bage plants, but Sam’s neighbor’s chickens had fimished the cabbage— they were stripped clean of foilage and only a withered stem remained. Next to this favorite spot we spied eight or ten heart sick tomato plants, which Sam had set out in the early morn instead of the de.vey eve Sam insisted that he had an okra patch and a celery bed, but we couldn’t see any signs of same. He also claimed that his radishes had been all to the good, but that he had devoured the lastshortly before oui arrival. Tis a pity that some of our gardners couldn’t have enjoyed this trip of inspection with us. Bui: .Rrother Ferabee ha 3 one thing that he should be proud of—but it’s not bis garden. He has a fine lot of chickens, and spends all of his idie moments watching them grow. Had he spent more time with a hoe and less'time looking after his Rhode Island Reds, his garden would have made a better appearance Sam should be a happy man, though, de spite the appearance of his “farm.” for.he has three fine little daughters .and a good wife, and lives in the best town in North Carolina except . Mocksville. Heismakingasuccess in the newspaper business and is giving Catawba county a live and Up-to-date daily paper, which all the citizens are proud of. We could have said more about Sam’s garden, . but for fear of smashing a friend ship of many year’s standing, we refrain from further eulogies. A Great Story Starting Today.1 t.

The $25,000 bond elec tion which was held in that town ship last Tuesday resulted in a good majority for bonds. At old Jeru salem the vote was 18 for bonds and 78 against bonds, while at Goolee- mee precinct the vote was 163 for bonds and 42 against, giving the majority of 61 in the township. The citizens of Jerusalem are re joicing over the results, and are get ting ready to build better roads and repair those that have already been built. We hope the citizens of our town wifi learn a lessotf and ask the town fathers to issue sufficient bonds to build some good sheets and side walks and make other improve ments. Cana News. Mr. F.

We are always glad to receive Thg Record and consider it bet ter than ever before and worth the dollar per year several times Any time the postage, high price of paper, etc., crowds your profit, raise my subscription and I will see if I can’t find the dough. We are all busy planting cotton, corn, soy beans and various vegetables to cur tail the high cost of living, though at ,present we have home-raised hog and hominy and vegetables enough that the cost of living hasn’t worried us much yet. We are having some cool weather which is making our cotton look sick W-e hope for warmer weather soon. Will close with best wishes to The Record and ali its readers, and hope they will try to co as • we are doing—raise a plenty of food for j themselves and a few more, j A. A. GRAVES.

Winston Sentinel, 11th. Mr. J. H. Clement, of the law firm of Jones & Clement, went to Salis bury today to attend a hearing in a will case in which the heirs of the late D. M. Cambell, of Rowan county, have entered a contest to break it. Mr. Cambel was a carpen ter by trade and thru close economy had saved several thousand dollars. Pi actically all he had was in cur rency, and at his death in the spring of 1914 he died leaving a short will, making the mo3t unusual disposi tion of his estate. It represented about $25,000 in currency and the will provided that a friend adminis ter the estate; that the executor re ceive $200 for that service; that no one else receive any of the money or personal property, andThat after deducting the executor’s fees and other expenses the remainder be spent for a monument to be erected over his own grave. It has been estimated that amount available for the erection of the monument will be about $24,000. The deceased was eighty one years old at death, besides two sisters, there were no near relatives. The action is against Mr. Pink G'nffy, executor, and the plaintiffs are represented by Clement & Clem ent, of Salisbury, Jones & Clement of this city, A T. Grant, of Mocks ville. and Attorney Hartsell, of Con cord. EFIRD'S WINSTON-SALEM, N. C.

The machinery created for determin ing of exemptions Is thus described by the bill; "The president Is hereby authorized, in his discretion, to create and estab lish throughout the several states and subdivisions thereof and in the terri tories and the District of Columbia' local boards, and where, in his discre tion, practicable and desirable, there shall be created and established one such board in each county or simitar subdivision in each state, and one for approximately each 30,000 of popula tion In each city of 30,000 population or over, according to the last census taken or estimates furnished by the bureau of census of the department of commerce. .Such boards shall be ap pointed by the president and shall con sist of three or more members, none of wht>m shall be connected with the military establishment, to be chosen from among the local authorities of such subdivisions or from other citi zens residing in the subdivision or area In which the respective boards will have jurisdiction under the rules and regulations prescribed by the presi dent.

In the meantime the senate finance committee Is holding public hearings on the bill, with a view to being ready to report soon after the house acts. To bring the amount to be raised up to the desired total, the house com mittee wrote into the bill a flat In crease of 10 per cent In all existing tariff duties and 10 per cent duties on all articles now admitted free, all estimated to bring in $240,000,000, this more than doubling the present tariff revenues. In addition it was decided to make aU Income-tax increases retroactive, beginning with the present .calendar year. Other taxes provided for would become effective upon the signing of the bill. The income-tax Increases, applying to both personal and corporation In comes. are designed to produce $533,- 000,000 more than the present income- tax receipts. Income and Profits. Most of the new revenue will come from the income, excess profits, and inheritance taxes and additional tar iff duties, hat the levies of the .bill would reach Into'many other sources. Letter mall rates would be Increased from two to three cents an ounce, and postal cards from one to, two cents, while $19,000,000 would be added to charges against newspapers under a new system based upon the present parcel-post zones. Internal-revenue taxes upon liquor and tobacco would .be materially in creased, and there would be taxes on amusements, and stamp taxes of wide scope. Increase In Supertaxes. The war income tax section would double the present normal tax of 2 per cent on individuals and 3 per cent on corporations. It would lower the exemption of Individual incomes from $4,000 to $2,000 in the case of married persons and from $3,000 to $1,000 for the unmarried. In addition, beginning with incomes of $5,000, graduated supertaxes would be Imposed, In addition to the normal 4 per cent, ranging up to 33 per cent on all indomes over $500,000 a year. The surtax schedule follows; These figures are those of the house bill. When the measure goes to the ■- senate It will be subject to amendment and doubtless in many cases there will be revision. The senate finance committee will hold hearing at which argu ments and objections may be presented.

' H th” THE DAVlE -EECOBPf M0CKSV1LLE, K C. WFOSE U SE OK POSTAGE OlITES 8ECTI0N REFERRING TO NEWS' PAPERS IS LIKELY TO BE MODIFIED. TO REACH VOTE THIS WEEK Newspaper Men in Great Numbers Strongly Protest With Effect— Many Other Protests Are Made to Different Sections. Washington. — Opponents of the Ways and Means Commitee’s proposal to greatly increase postal rates on newspapers and magazines showed such a strength during debate on the war tax bill that it appeared likely the postal section of the measure would be one of the few to be mater ially modified before passage. The attack brought the first defec tion from the ranks of the committee Itself, which had approved the bill un animously and. whose members of both parties have consistently urged its passage unamended. Just before ad journment Representative Sloan, a Re publican committeeman, told the Bouse that while he would stand be hind every other provision in the measure, he could not support a pos tal increase amounting to "a punitive expedition against newspapers and magazines.” Representatives Madden, of Illinois and McCormick, of Illinois; Meeker, of Missorui, Republicans, and Moon, of Tennessee, Democrat and chairman of the postal committee, joined in the attack, which proceeded while a large delegation of publishers was telling the Senate Finance Committee that enactment would force many publica tions out of business. Debate Near Close.. General debate in the House closed at 4 o’clock Tuesday and the bill prob ably will be brought to a final vote be fore the end of the week. The com mittee hopes to put through most of its proposals without important amendment, for the opposition has scattered its fire against many indi vidual sections and has developed a concerted attack on only a few of them. When the measure goes over to the Senate, however, many changes are expected. Representative Longworth, Repub lican, made a long defense of the bill for the committee, reiterating that while there were some inequalities, passage was necessary to give the needed war revenue. He declared 95 per cent of the taxes proposed would fall upon the wealthy or those of moderate means. Representative Meeker predicted that enactment of the proposed postal increases would mean the end of Na tional circulation for daily papers and Representative Madden attacked the new rate schedule as "the most unjust tax ever imposed by a Government.’’ Chairman Moon presented two amend ments to cut down the proposed rates. Representative McCormick suggest ed that the whole schedule should be re-written so that the levies would fall on publications in proportion to their incomes. Representative McMcwmick also criticised the income tax section of the bill and declared the proposed ex cess profits taxes were oppressive and unjust. He predicted that the measure os a whole would work immeasurable harm to industry. Senate Hearing. Spokesmen for newspapers and pe riodicals, large and small, and from all parts of the country appeared be fore the Senate Finance Committee to attack as unreasonable and confis catory the war revenue bill provision which would create a zone system with greatly increased rates for sec ond class mail matter. They declared if the measure went into effect, many publications would be compelled to suspend. Don C. Seitz, of The New York World, representing the American Newspaper Publishers' Association^ said the proposed increase was not a war tax "but an effort to further re press and embarrass the newspaper industry.” He told the committee there already had been a big slump in business which, if it contlnned, would paralyze the newspapers. The publishers, he added, were not seek ing special favors, but wanted to be placed on the same level with people engaged in other business. Arthur Dunn, speaking' for the smaller newspapers of the country, said they could riot stand the increase fa postal rates with fab increased cost of print paper, and ,.that many would be compelled to go out of business if the bill was enacted.. . . E BILL IS BTSEKkTE SIMILAR MEASURE HAD ALREADY BEEN PASSED- BY THE HOUSE. < 60ES TO CONFERENCE NOW Prohibition and Press Censorship Sec tions Left Out'by Senate.—Has Been a Long Bitter FighL Washington. — After nearly three weeks of debate, the senate, by a vote of 77 to 6, passed the administration espionage bill, pronounced one of the most drastic and all-inclusive measures in American congressional history; A similar bill has passed the House and virtual redrafting of many of the most important provisions is expected In the forfacomng conference. During the day’s final consideration, the Senate stripped the measure of provisions for newspaper censorship and restriction upon manufacture of grain into intoxicating liquors, and rejected an amendment designed to curb speculation in food products, al though sentiment obviously was over whelming In favor of such legislation later.As completed, the Senate bill’s prin cipal selections provide: Authority for the president to ^em bargo exports when he finds that “the -public safety and welfare so require (not in the House measure); e Mall Censorship. Authority for the postoffice depart ment to censor mails and exclude mall matter deemed seditious, anarchistic or treasonable, and 'making its mail ing punishable under heavy penalties (not in the House bill); For punishment of espionage, de fined in moat detailed terms, includ- ng wrongful use Cf military informa tion;For the control of merchant vessels in American waters; Punishment for conveyance of false reports to interfere with military oper ations, wilful attempts to cause disaffection in the military or naval forces or obstructions of recruiting. Por the seizure of arms and muni tions and prohibition of Gieir exporta tion under certain conditions; For penalizing conspiracies design ed to harm American foreign dele gations or for destruction of property within the United States; For increased restrictions upon is suance. of passports with penalties for their forgery or false procurement; and For material extension of the power to issue search warrants for inspection of premises. Export Embargo. The clause giving the president power to embargo exports was re tained in the bill virtually as drafted by administration officials. It was modified once, but the un qualified provision was restored after its necessity had been explained last week in a day’s session behind closed doors. Vigorous efforts to retain provisions for the newspaper censorship and partisd prohibition together With foodstuff conservation, luring the j war, culmifuted in final votes In which the Senate voted 48 to 34 to eliminate all provisions for press censorship. On behalf of the administration forces Senator Overman, in charge of the bill, had moved to reinsert a modified censorship clause. As the House bill contains a provision for determination by the jury of culpability for violation of censorship regulations to be pro mulgated by the President, the admin istration is expected to bring strong pressure for drafting in conference of a compromise censorship section. On the question of prohibition and foodstuff conservation, the Senate, by a vote of 4 6fo 37, reversed its action of Saturday In accepting Senator Cum mins’ amendment providing that, dur ing the war, manufacture of cereals, grain, eugar and syrup into intoxicat ing liquors should be prohibited. By this vote iit struck out the Cummins amendment offered as a food conserva tion step, but attacked as really a pro hibition move. RUSSIAN SITUATION XONflNUESl Tb BlE SERIOUS. Russia stiff looms in the eyes of the world as a portentous obstacle to an early successful , issue. of the. war for fap Entente Nations , and the United States over Germany and Allies. While there have been rumors that the Work men and Soldiers haave called for an armistice, official denial of this is made by the council. .On the contrary, it is stated by the council that an ap peal to the soldiers is being drawn up Ieclaxing against a separate peace. ORDERS ARE ISSUED TO EXPAND REGULAR ARMY Washington.—Orders to bring the regular army to its fall war strength of 293,000 men was were announced by the war department.

Reports from Washington which have reached the newspapermen . of North Carolina with regard to the pro posed increase in postal rates on newspapers as a war tax are such as to give great concern to them. At least three motor ambulances, and probably more, will be sent to ths American Ambulance Corps In France from western North Carolina, and this section will be well represented if the states decides to send a. full unit of ■even machines to France. Representatives of the United States Labor Department, who arrived in Hendersonville, N. C., said that if there is any legal difficulty about the delivery of Lake Kanuga property to the Government for the German fa-, temment camp, the camp will be located on Davidson River in the Pis- gah National Forest. Both Secretary of War Newton D. Baker and Secretary of the Navy Dan iels will speak at the commencement of the University of.

That the European war will last for years and that millions of men must be sent overseas by (the United States before the Prussian military power is crushed was a prediction made by Col. J. Bryan Grimes, secretary of state of North Carolina, in what was said to be one of the most powerful Memorial Day orations ever delivered at Fayetteville. The following named North Carolina newspaper men went to Washington last week to protest against the sec tions of revenue bill introduced: Wade H. Harris' of Charlotte, W. W. Weaver of Durham, Clarence H. Poe, E. E. Britton, president of the North Carolina Press Association, and John Park of Raleigh, W. E. Lawson of Wilmington, and H. R. Dwire of Wins ton-Salem. W. A.

Their greater value has been definitely and decisively established by their performance records in the hands of thousands of otoners in all parts of the country. The Saxon Motor Car Corporation has earned one of the biggest successes in the automobile industry. It owes its success to the policy of building good cars and building them in quan tities. Its cars have won the respect of the motor buying public. Such absolute satisfaction as is represented in the following testimonial is the big reason back of Saxon success: “I want to say Uiat Saxon ‘Six’ is an automo bile that will do all the Saxon Motor Car Cor poration daim i it will do— and more. “We have driven our car many thousand mile, and can honestly aay it is the eariect riding car we ever rode in.” JOHN A DIXON, Seneca, S.

CHAPTER Ii ; ClOBe to the serried baskhdae of the Cumlierland ridgo through': a Bky ol tating before Its deecent to; the hori zon. The sugar-loaf cone that; tow ered above, a creek called Misery was pointed.and edged with emerald trac ery where the loftiest timber thrust up its .crest plumes into the eun.- .On the hillsides it would be light-for more than, an hour yet, but, below, where the waters tossed . themselves along in a chorus of tiny cascades, the light was .already thickening into a cathedral gloom. Down there the,“fur- riner” would have seen only the rough course of the creek between, moss- velveted and shaded, bowlders of titanic proportions. The, native would have recognized the country road In these tortuous twistings. A great block of sandstone, to whose summit a man standing in his saddle could scarcely reach his fingertips, towered above the stream, with a gnarled scrub oak clinging tenaciously to its apex. Loft ily on both sides climbed the moun tains cloaked in laurel and timber. Suddenly the leafage was thrust aside from above by a cautious hand, and a shy, half-wild girl appeared In the opening. For an instant she halt ed, with her brown fingers holding back the brushwood, and raised her face as though listening. As she Btood with the toee of one bare foot twisting in the gratefully cool moss she laughed with the sheer exhilara tion of life and youth, and started out on the table top of -the huge rock. But there she halted suddenly with a startled exclamation and drew instinc tively back. What she saw might well have astonished her, for it was a thing she had never seen before and . of which she had never heard. Finally, reassured by the silence, she slipped across the broad face of the flat rock for a distance of twenty-five feet and paused again to listen. At the far edge lay a pair of saddle bags, such as form the only practical equipment for mountain travelers. Near them lay a tin box, littered with' small and unfamiliar-looking tubes of soft metal, all grotesquely twisted and stained, and beside, the box; was a strangely shaped plaque' of wood smeared with a dozen hues. That this plaque was a painter's sketching pal ette was a thing which she could not know, since the ways of artists had to do with a world as remote from her own a6 the life of the moon or stars. It was one of those vague mys teries that made up the wonderful life of "down below.” Why had these things been left here in such confu sion’ If there was a man about who owned them he would doubtless return to claim them. She crept over, eyes and ears alert, and slipped around to the front of the queer tripod, with all her muscles poised in readiness for flight. A half-rapturous and utterly aston ished cry broke from her lips. She stared a moment, then dropped to the moss-covered rock, leaning back on her brown hands and gazing intently "Hit’s purty!” she approved, in a low, musical murmur. "Hit's plumb dead beautiful!” Of course it was not a finished pic ture—merely a study of what lay be fore her—but the hand that had Placed these brush strokes on the academy board was the sure, deft hand of a master of landscape, who had caught the splendid spirit of the thing and fixed it immutably in true and glowing appreciation. Who he was; where he had gone; why his work stood there unfinished and aban doned, were details which for the mo Kent this half-savage child-woman for got to question. She was conscious o»ly of a sense of revelation and awe. Then she saw other boards, like the one upon the easel, piled near the > Paint box. These were dry, and rep resented the Work of other days; but they were all pictures of her own Mountains, and In each of them, as >n this one, was something that made ner heart leap. ' To heT own people these Bteep hill sides and “coves” and valleys were a matter of course. In their stony soil they labored by day, and in their shad ows slept when work was done. Yet' someone had discovered that they held a picturesque and rugged beauty; that they were not merely steep fields where the plow was useless and the hoe must be used. She must tell Sam son Samson, whom she held In an artless exaltation of hero worship; oamson, who was so "smart” that he bought about things beyond her un- erStanding; Samson, who could not only read and write, but speculate on Problematical matters. Suddenly she came' to her feet with a swift-darting impulse of alarm.' Her ®ar had caught a sound. She cast robing glances about her, but the Wat Was emPty of humanity. The imv stil! murmUred over-the rocks - disturbed. There was no sign of .1 Presence, other than herself, to h eyes coul(1 discover—and yetears came the sound again, and eounri me more distinctly. It was the nma„! °f a man’s voice, and it was Seai-AU1J as if in Paln- -She rose and the h-fi vainly through the bushes of niside where the rock ran out from the woods. She lifted her skirts and splashed her feet in the shallow creek water, wading persistently up, MA a groan of a human creature in distress, and she must find and succor ihe person from whom it came. . Certain sounds are baffling as to di rection. .A voice from overhead or broken by echoing obstacles does not readily betray its source. Finally she stood up and listened , once more, in tently—her attitude full, of tense earnestness. “I’m shore a fool,” she announced, half aloud. “I’m shore a plumb fool.” Then she turned and disappeared in the deep cleft between the gigantic bowlder , upon which she had been sit ting and another—small only by com parison. There, ten feet down, in a narrow alley littered with ragged stones, lay* the crumpled body of a man. It lay with the left arm doubled under it, and from a gash in the fore head trickled a thin stream of blood. Also, it was the body of. euch a man as she had not seen before. Although from the man came a low groan mingled with his breathing, it was not such a sound as comes from fully conscious lips, but- rather that of a brain dulled into coma. Freed from her fettering excess of shyness by his condition, the girl stepped surely from fopthold to foot hold until she reached his side. She stood for a moment with one hand on the dripping walls of rock, looking down while her hair fell about her face. Then, dropping to her knees, she shifted the doubled body into a leaning posture, straightened the limbs, and began exploring with effi cient fingers'for broken bones. She had found the left arm limp above the wrist,- and her fingers had diagnosed a broken bone. But uncon sciousness must have come from the blow on- the head, where a bruise was already blackening, and a gash still trickled blood. She lifted her skirt and tore a long strip of cotton from her single petti coat. Then she picked her bare-footed way swiftly to the creek bed, where she drenched the cloth for bathing and bandaging the wound. When she had done what 6he.could, by way of first aid she sat ' supporting the man’s shoulders and shook her head dubi ously: Finally the man’s lids fluttered and his lips moved. Then he opened, his eyes. "Hello!” said the Btranger, vaguely. “I seem to have—” He broke oft, and bis lips smiled. It wae a friendly, un derstanding smile, and the girl; fight- ! A Low Groan Mingled With His Breathing. ing hard the shy impulse to drop his shoulders and flee info the kind mask ing of the bushes, was in a. measure reassured. “You must hev fell offen the rock,” ehe enlightened. “I think I might have fallen into worse circumstances,” replied the un known. “I reckon you kin set up after a little.”"Yes, of course.” The man suddenly realized that although he was quite comfortable as he was he could scarcely expect to remain permanently in the support of her bent arm. He attempted to prop himself on his hurt hand and relaxed with a twinge of ex treme pain. The color, which had be gun to creep back into his cheeks, left them again, and his lips compressed themselves tightly to bite off an-ex clamation- of suffering. "Thet air left arm air busted,” an nounced the young woman, quietly. “Ye’ve got ter be heedful.” Had one of her own men hurt him self and behaved stoically it would have been mere matter of course; but her eyes -mirrored a pleased surprise at the stranger’s good-natured nod and his quiet refusal to give expression, to pain. It relieved her of the neces sity for contempt."I’m afraid," apologized the painter, "that I’ve been a great deal of trouble to you.” . Her lips and, eyes , were sober,as she replied. ;• ‘‘I reckon thetV all right/':: ?; "And what’s worse, I’ve got to be more trouble. Did 'you'See'anything of a brown mule?” , , - - -.- She shook her head: “He must have wandered off. -May I ask to: whom I am indebted for this first aid to the -injured?” "I don’t-know what ye means.” She. had . propped him against- the rocks and sa.t near by; looking into his face with almost-disconcerting steadi ness; her solemn-pupiled eyes were unblinking, unsmiling. “Why; I mean who-are you?” he laughed. ,, “I hain’t nobody, much. I jest lives over yon.” “But,” insisted tiie man, "surely you She nodded. ..... “Hit’s sally.” ./;. "Then, Miss Sally, I want to thank you.” Oiice more she nodded, and, for the first time, let her eyes drop, while she sat nursing her knees..: Flnally she glanced up and asked’ with plueked-up courage; , •.. "Stranger, what thout yote name be?” ................ “Leseott—George Lescott.” “How’d ye git hurt?” He shook his head. . “I was painting—up there,” he said; * and I guess I got too absorbed in the work. I stepped backward to look at the canvas and forgot where the edge was. I stepped too far.” The man .rose to his feet, but he tot tered and reeled against the wall of ragged stone. The blow on his head had left him faint and dizzy. He sat down again. ^ Tm afraid,” he ruefully admitted, “that I’m hot quite ready"for discharge from your hospital.” “You jest set where yer at.” The girl rose and pointed up the mountain side. “I’ll light out across the hill and* fotch Samsom an’ his mule.” “Who and where is Samson?” he inquired.- He realized that the bot tom of the valley would shortly thick en into darkness, and that the way out, uhguided, would become impos sible. “It sounds like the name of a strong man.” "I means Sameon South,” she en lightened, as though further descrip tion of one so celebrated would be re dundant. “He’s over thar ’bout three- quarters.” • “Three-quarters of a mile?” She nodded. What else could three- quarters mean? “How long will it -take you?” he asked. She deliberated. "Samson’s hoein’ corn in the fur hill field. He’ll hev ter cotch his mule. Hit mout tek a half-hour.” “You can’t do it in a half-hour, can you?” . v ■•“I’ll jest take my foot In my hand, an’ light out.” She turned, and with a nod was gone. At last she came to a point where a clearing rose on the mountainside above her. The forest blanket was stripped off to make way for a fenced- in and crazily tilting field of young corn. High up and beyond, close to the bald shoulders of sandstone which threw themselves against the sky, was the figure of a man. As the girl halted at the foot of the field, at, last, panting from her exertions, he was sitting on the rail fence, looking absently down on the outstretched panorama below him. Samson South wae hot, strictly speaking, a man. His age was per haps twenty. He sat loose-jointed and indolent on the top rail of the fence, his hands hanging over his knees, his hoe forgotten. Near by, propped against the rails, rested a repeating rifle, though the people would have told you that the-truce in the “South- Hollman war” had been unbroken for two years, and that no clansman need In these halcyon days go armed afield. CHAPTER II. Sally clambered lightly over the fence and started on the last etage of her journey, the climb across the young corn rows. It was a field stood on end, and the hoed ground was un even; but with no seeming of weari ness her red dress flashed steadfastly across the green spears, and her voice was raised to shout: “Hello, Samson!” The young man looked up and waved a languid greeting. He di’d not remove his hat or descend from his place of rest, and Sally, who expected no such attention,-came smilingly on. Samson was her hero. Slow of utterance and diffident with the stranger, words now came fast and fluently as she told her story of the man who lay -hurt at the foot of the rock. “Hit hain’t .long now tell sundown,” she urged. “Hurry, Samson, an’ git yore mule; I’ve done give him- my promise ter fotch ye right straight back.” Samson took off his hat, and tossed the heavy lock upward from his fore head. His .brow wrinkled with doubts. “What- sort’ of lookin’ feller air he?” While Sally sketched a description, the young man’s doubt grew graver. “This hain’t no fit time ter be takin’ in folks what we hain’t ' acquainted with,” he objected. In the mountains any time is the time to take in strang ers unless there are secrets’ to- be guarded from outside eyes.' • “Why hain’t it?” demanded the girl. “He’s hurt. ■ We kain’t leave him layin’ thar, kin we?” Suddenly her eyes caught sight of the rifle leaning near , by, and straight way they filled with apprehension. Her militant love would have turned to hate for Samson, should he have proved recreant to the mission of re prisal in which he was biding his time, yet the coming of the day when the truce must end haunted her thoughts. She came close; and her vpice sank with her sinking heart. -•What air hit?!’ she tensely demand* ed. . •‘What air. hit, Samson? . What fer they ye fetched yer gun ter the field?” ' . ' ' - The boy laughed. “Oh, hit ain't nothin’ pertic’lef,” he • reassured. “Hit hain’t nothin’ fer a gal ter fret herself erbout, only I kinder ' suspicions strangers jeet now.” ' “Air the truce busted?” She put the question In a tense, deep-breathed whisper, and the boy replied casually, almost indifferently. : “No, Sally, hit hain’t Jest ter say busted, but- ’pears, like hit’s right smart cracked. 'I reckon, though^” he added in half-disgust, “nothin’ won’t come of hit.” ' Somewhat reassured/ she bethought herself again of her mission, ie IuiiM IiIiVi io harm in him, Sameon/1 she pleaded.

He’s got white skin and h bow of ribbon On his1 neck—an’ he paints pictchers.” The boy’s face had been hardening with contempt as the description ad vanced, but at the last words a glow came to his eyes; and’ he demanded almost breathlessly: "Paints pictchers?

The hoe he left where it stood: "I’ll git the nag,!’ he announced briefly, and swung off without further parley toward the curling spiral of smoke that marked, a cabin a. quarter of 'a mile below. ’ Ten minutes 'later his- bare feet swung against the ribs of a gray mule. and his rifle' lay-bal anced across the unsaddled withers. : Sally sat mountain , fashion behind him, facing straight-to the side.- • ■ So they came along the creek .bed and into the sight of the. man who still sat propped against the moBsy rock. As Lescott looked up he closed the case of his watch and put it back into his pocket with a smile. "Snappy work, that!” he.called out. "Just thirty-three minutes. 1I didn’t believe it could be done:’ Samson’s face was masklike, but as he surveyed the foreigner, only the ingrained dictates of the country’s hospitable code kept out of his eyes a gleam of scorn for this frail mem ber of a sex which should be stalwart. "Howdy?” he said. Then he added suspiciously: "What mout yer busi ness be in these parts, stranger?” Lescott gave the Odyssey of his wan derings, since he had rented a mule at Hixon and ridden through the coun try, sketching where the mood prompt ed and sleeping wherever he found a hospitable roof at the coming of the evening. "Ye come from over on Cripple- shin?” The boy flashed the question With a sudden hardening of the voice, and, when he was affirmatively ans- swered, his eyee contracted and bored searchingly into the stranger’s face. "Where’d ye put up last night?” "Red Bill Hollinan’s house, at the mouth of Meeting House fork; do you know the place?” Samson’s reply was curt. “I knows -hit all right.” There was a moment’s pause— rather an awkward pause. Lescott’e mind began piecing together frag ments of convereatioh. he had heard, until he had assembled a sort of men tal jigsaw puzzle. The South-Hollman feud had been mentioned by the more talkative of his informers, and- carefully tabooed by others—notable among them hiB host of last night. It now dawned on him that he was ,crossing the boun dary and coming as the late guest of a Hollman to ask the hospitality of a South. “I didn’t know whose bouse it was,” he hastened to explain, “until I was benighted add asked for lodging. They were very kind to me. I’d never seen them before: I’m a stranger here abouts.” Samson only nodded. If the explana tion failed to satisfy him, it at least seemed to do so. “I reckon ye’d better let me holp ye up on thet old mule,” he said; “hit’s a-comin’ on ter be night.” With the mountaineer’s aid, Lescott clambered astride the mount, then he turned dubiously. “I’m eorry to trouble you,” he ven tured, "but I have a paint box and some materials up there. If you’ll bring them down here, I’ll show you how to pack the easel, and, by the way,” he anxiously added, “please to handle that fresh canvas carefully— by the edge—it’s not dry yet. He had anticipated impatient con tempt for his artist’s impedimenta, but to his surprise the mountain boy climbed* the rock and halted before the sketch with a face that slowly softened to an expression-of amazed - admiration. • Finally he took up the square of academy board with a ten der- care of- which his rough hands would have "seemed incapable and stood stock-still, presenting an anoma lous figure in his rough clothes, as his eyes grew almost idolatrous. Then he brought the landscape over to its creator, and, though no word was spoken, there flashed between the eyes of the artist, whose signature gave to a canvas the value of a precious stone, and' the jeans-ciad boy whose destiny was that of the' vendetta, a subtle, wordless message. It was the 'coun- .tersign of brothers-in-blood who rec ognize in each other the Bond of a mutual passion. .. . The boy and the girl, under Lescott’s direction, packed the outfit and stored the canyas in 'the protecting top of the box. Then, while Sally turned and strode down creek in search of Les= cott’s lost mount, the two men rodc- upstream In silence. Finally. Samson spoke slowly anddlffidenfly,/ 0 “Stranger,” he ' ventured, lJef hit hain’t askin' too much, will ye let me see ye paint one of them things?” . “Gladly,” was the prompt reply.- •• Then the boy added covertly: ' ■ “Don’t say nothin’ erbout hit ter none of these folks. TheyM devil me.’’ The dusk- was falling now,, and the hollows choking with murk.' • “We’re nigh home now,” said Sam son at the end of some minutes' silent plodding. “Hit’s right . beyond ’ thet thar bend.” Then they rounded a point of tim ber and came upon a small'party' bf men whose attitudes even in the'dim ming' light conveyed a subtle sugges tion of portent, . ' " " ittji/S iif man’s voice, which was still very deep and powerful. “Hello, = TJnc’ Spencer!” replied the boy. .Then followed a silence unbroken until the-mule reached the group, re vealing that besides the bOy another man—and a strange ‘man—had joined their number. "Evenin’, stranger,” they greeted him, gravely; then again they fell silent, and in their silence was' evi dent constraint. “This hyar man’s a furriner,” an nounced Samson, briefly. “He fell Tamarack South. offen. a rock an’ got hurt . I ’lowed I’d fotch him home ter stay all night.” - The elderly man who had hailed the boy nodded, but with an evident an noyance. It seemed that to him the others deferred as to a commanding officer. The cortege remounted and rode slowly toward the house. At last the elderly man came alongside the mule and inquired: “Samson, where was ye last night?” “Thet’s my business.” “Mebbe hit ain’t.” The old moun taineer spoke with no resentment, but deep gravity. “We’ve been powerful oneasy erbout ye. Hev ye heered the news?” -f “What news?” The boy put the question noncommittally. “Jesee Purvy was shot this morn ing.” The boy'vouchsafed no reply. “The mall rider done told hit. . . . Somebody shot five shoots from the laurel. . . . Purvey hain’t died yit. . . . Some says as how his folks has sent ter Lexington fer blood hounds.” . The boy’s eyes began to smolder hatefully. "I reckon,” he spoke slowly, "be didn’t git shot none too soon." “Sameon!” The old man’s voice bad the ring of determined authority. "When I dies ye’ll be the head of the Souths, but so long es I’m a-runnln’ this hyar fam’ly I keeps my word ter friend an’ foe alike. I reckon Jesse Purvy knows who got yore pap, but up till now no South hain’t never busted no truce.” The boy’s voice dropped its softness and took on a shrill crescendo of ex citement as he flashed out his retort. “Who 6aid a South has done busted the truce this time?” Old Spicer South gazed searchingly at his nephew.

Nebraska College Demonstrates Big Value of Spraying, Prun ing and Cultivation, It pays the orchard owner well to give some attention to his trees, says the horticultural department of the Ne- ; braska Agricultural college. Last sea son the three orchards used to demon strate the value of spraying, pruning and cultivation netted on an average $104 per acre. The cost account of these orchards shows, that the average value of fruit produced was $186.80 per ticre, and that the cost of producing it was $82.S0 per acre. Spraying, one of the most important operations, is one of the least expen sive in the management of the orchard, costing only $9.32 per acre or about 25.6 cents per tree. In each of these orchards, trees were left unsprayed to check against the spraying. At harvest time it was found that 90.7 per cent of the unsprayed fruit was in jured by fungi or insects, only 9.3 per cent being without blemish; whereas 98.2 pc- cent of the sprayed fruit was sound and without blemish, and only 10.8 per cent injured by insects qr fungi.

A large majority of the FuropeaD grapes are susceptible to crown gall, while most of the American varieties, are thought to be practically immune. On young plants and cuttings of the grape the root form is most commonly found, but with older plants the dis ease also attacks the canes, the affect-, ed area usually extending from the .crown upward. The bramble fruits are quite suscep tible to the disease.. The galls appear on the roots and on the canes and the infection seems to spread quite readily from plant to plant. Control.—Trees or small fruits should never be grown on land already in; fected with the disease until such land lias been cleaned by being given over for several years to some nonsuscep- tible crop. Infected plants should not be allowed to remain in the soil until the galls decay, but . should be prompt ly removed, and burned. Neither root nor scion used in grafting should come from infected, stock, and the grafting and wrapping should be carefully done. ern section of the United States and is noticeably prevalent in the state of Washington. The insect feeds upon, certain succulent plants, such as the- docks,, knotweeds and bindweeds. When these occur in an orchard the worm makes its way up the trunk of the tree and burrows into. the . fruit, causing it to rot. There can be little or no danger from this insect in clean- cultivated orchards or in orchards where its food plants do not exist. Efficient protection may be secured by banding Uie trees with cotton bat ting or. with some sticky substance. In experiments by the department an eight-inch, strip of cotton hatting was placed about the trunk of each tree and tied with a cord about the middle. The upper half of the cotton band was then tolled down over the cord. Good results also were obtained by apply ing to the trunks of the trees a band of a commercial sticky substance one- eighth tych thick and three inches wide. The lower limbs of. the trees should, be kept well up from the ground, and any props used also should be banded. Bands should be put on in the latter part of August and left on until after the fruit is har vested.

CAUSE AND EFFECT ON EYES There Is No Evidence to Shov/ That “Movies” Are Imperiling the Eyes of the Nation. Eye Defects Are Irri tated by Pictures Which Takes In dividual to Optometrists for Correct Glasses and Eye Safety. About twelve years ago the first moving picture machine was exhibited, before the public. Since then they have been improved and their number increased until the ciLematograph has now become the central feature in a business extending all over the world and involving investments of many millions of dollars. While the cinematograph -was de vised solely to amuse, time has wid ened its scope until it now seems likely to become of incalcuable value to education, science and art; The day is near when every public school and similar institution will be equipped with a moving picture ma chine. Even now they afe no small factor in the education of the public. The moving picture is to our eyes what the telephone is to our ears. The individual in good health with normal eyes—that is, both emmetro pic and oriliophonc, will not suffer much, if any, at the moving picture show, provided it is not visited to ex cess. The majority of persons with normal eyes can endure four sittings of thirty minutes each per week with but little or no temporary unpleasant symptoms and no permanent ill effect. There is practically no difference in the effect on eyes naturally normal or those made normal with properly fit ted glasses excepting in those cases where reflex conditions caused by eye strain have not had sufficient time to become normal. There is no evidence to show that “movies” are imperiling the sight of the nation. Careful investigation, leads to the opposite conclusion. In directly they are good things for the eyes of the people, and in this way: Latent eye defects that would ordin arily worry and annoy for years from common usage are localized and irri tated by the pictures in a very short time until the individual is led to seek releif. This takes him to the optometrist and he gets his optical correction, together with eye safety and comfort for the future. Many per sons now wear glasses who had hard ly thought of their eyes, much less of glasses, until they became patrons of the movies, because these visits re vealed hidden defects. Without any doubt the moving pic ture is a relentless sleuth When- it goes searching for eye aches or pains. It has a search warrant that permits it to try every nerve test every muscle, explore every part of the ocu lar system, both mechanical and phy sical, and if it doesn’t uncover trouble, none that will cause discomfort exists. For scientific discussion of the ef fect of moving picture on the eyes, we must also include the cause of the moving picture on the eyes, we must also include the cause of the effect. As Shakespeare says: “Find out the cause of this effect, or rather say, the cause of this defect, for this effect defective comes by cause.” Cause of ocular disturbance from viewing moving pictures may'be sub divided under two heads, viz.: Me chanical and physical. , Mechanical causes are: I.' Glare. 2. Light Vibration. 3. Illumination with which may be in cluded absence of color. 4. Faulty or defective films. 5. Unskilled or careless operators handling the ma chines.' Physical' causes are: I. Mhscular anomalies. 2. Errors of refraction. 3- Nerve disorders or disease. Recent improvements and greater care have almost entirely eliminated the mechanical causes in the better picture houses, so that about the only remaining mechanical causes that could at all- prove deterimental to eyesight is that of glare, and the ab sence of natural colors, which latter will doubtless soon be remedied with color films. It may thus be readily seen that the only harmful results in viewing the movies is found in defective vision, or uncorrected eye defects, which optom etry can' remedy with proper lenses. Errors of refraction exception pos sible simple myopia ,cause most of the trouble, the' amount depending on the nature of the’ defects and the tem perament of the individual. The symptoms, in these' cases are about the same as those resulting from con tinued close application of the eyes in ordinary work. So you may be quite certain that when your eyes trouble in viewing moving pictures, it is due, not to the pictures, but to defective eyes which call. for optometry’s aid. Nervous diseases and nerve affec tions, functional in character are usu ally aggravated, of course reflexly, by the moving picture. When this oc curs, one should cease visits to the -movies until rsymptoms disappear. SPOTS BEFORE THE EYES Many Curious Ideas Have Arisen From the Prevalence of Condl- ditlon Easily Overcome. The prevalence of this condition has given rise to a great many curious ideas. Almost everyone either sees fixed or floating spots at times, or hears some friend complain of these conditions, so that it is not strange that many popular misconceptions have arisen. The commonest form of floating spots are those which are known by the name of muscae voli- tantes, an old name which indicates how long the condition has been ob served. These are tiny transparent chains, or strings, which are seen especially, on a white or brightly il luminated field as in smoke or steam. They persistently float in the line, of vision, and though a shake of the head may carry them out of the way, they at once float back again and are never stationary for a single moment. These spots are sometimes the fore runner of serious approaching physi cal ills, of organs remote from the eyes, but are more frequently caused by prolonged eystraln which saps the energy and lowers the physical tone. COSM ETIC E FFE C T S OF GLASSES. Si BBffi The old masters depicted the oval form of the highest type of the female face beautiful. Today the successful artist shows many types, each as handsome as.the other. There is one point, however, that all judges of the human face agree upon, and that is the balancing up ot its deficiencies, If a face is too wide or too concave, too much “A” shaped or too much “V” shaped, it needs to have hats, as to accentuate certain contours in WAREHOUSE CORNER 2ND AND MAIN STS. some cases and to tone them down in others. -------------------------------------------------- In glasses the skilled optometrist Hats off to the patriot who goes ORINOCO SUPPLY CO MILL 1036 N.

Seeing things with your own eyes Is not always conclusive evidence that you see correctly. You see through a window, hut the glass may be imperfect or unclean. Yoii see with your eyes, but the re fractive power may be faulty; thus you see much less than you might see. Optometry’s province is to remedy eye defects, which if neglected,, may prove serious.

Discussing the nation’s food prob lems in the Senate Wednesday Sen ators from farming States denied that there is any real shortage of staple foods in the United States. Senator John Sharp Williams de clared there had been a hysteria throughout the country and that the cause of high prices was largely psychological. He said he believed that the German corruption fund recently unearthed in a Federal court in New York may have been responsible for hysteria. Word should go straight out from the Senate, Senator Williams said, that there is no shortage of food. Sen ators Nelson and McCumber agreed that there is no reason to. fear a shortage. The attack on the speculators was led by Senators Thomas and Borah. The Colorado Senator declared they were real enemies of the nation, ex pressed the hope Congress would not adjourn without legislation that would remedy the evil, and said the lamp post is the thing to cure such speculation. Before the debate turned to other things, Senator Thomas introduced an amendment to the espionage bill empowering the President by proclamation to suspend during the war the opera tion of boards of trade and chambers of commerce which deal in features. Senator Boran predicted a world famine if the war lasts two years and if extraordinary and sustained efforts are not made here to meet the food problem;—Ex.

The proper fcod for one may be all wrong for another. Every one should a- dopt a diet suited to his age and occpa- tion. Those who have weak stomachs need to be especially careful and should eat slowly and masticate their food tbroub- ly. It is also important that they keep theit bowels regular. When they become constipated or when they feel dull and stupid after eating, they should take Chamberlain's Tablets to strengthen the stomach and move the bowels.

There need be no fear that the farmers of the country will miss any opportunity to produce all the oi'opa they and their families can plant, cultivate and harvest. The prospective price is decidedly at tractive and is sufficient inceutive. But there is a.limit to the extent of crops a farmer and his wife anil children can sow and garner.

As finally approved, the bill provid: ed for raising by selective' conscrip-. tion a war army in increments of 500,- 000 men from 21 to 50 years of age. It also authorizes, without directing, the President to raise volunteer forces which Colonel Roosevelt desires to take to France and greatly increases, the pay of all enlisted men.. Machinery to register and draft the first 600,000 men already has been set up my the War Department. Imme- diatelly after the President signs the bill, he will by proclamation designate the day for registration of the ten million or more men of the prescribed age. Registration books will be in the hands Of state and local authorities who are to co-operate in the work and Brigadier General Crowder, the pro vost marshal general, expects to have his complete lists in Washington within five days after registering be gins. Then will come the task of selecting the first half-million, exempting the physically unfit, those with dependents and men who are needed on the farms and in industries.

Whether Ooioinel Roosevelt shall be permitted to raise an expedition rests with President Wilson. His views have not been disclosed, but it is be lieved that he probably will postpone decision while the draft system is be ing put into operation. As during the early stages of the long dispute In Congress, the closing debate centered upon the so-called Roosevelt amendment. Colonel Roose velt was vigorously attacked by Sena tor Stone, of Missouri, and as ardently defended by his friend, Senator John son, of California, The Senate’s approval ot the meas ure agreed upon by he conferees and adopted by the House came late in the day otter attempts to send it back to conference and an earnest appeal by Senator Chamberlain, chairman ot the Military Committee for final ac tion. The eight senators who cast the negative votes were: Democrats—Gore\ ot Oklahoma; Hardwick, of Georgia; Kirby, ot Ok lahoma; ' Stone, of Missouri, and Trammel, of Florida. Republicans—DaFollette1 ot Wis consin; Gronna1 of North Dakota, and Norris of Nebraska. The bill backed by Qie administration and adopted in the Senate April 19, was passed April 28—In the Senate b ya vote ot 81 to 6—and in the House 39.7 to 24—has since been'tied up in conference, re turned thereby twice by the House to Include the Roosevelt volunteer pro vision and further pay increases for enlisted men.

DISPATCHES FROM RALEIGH Doings and Happenings That Mark the Progress of North Carolina Peo ple, Gathered Around the State Capital. Raleigh. , In an address “To AU the People of North Carolina,” Governor Bickett de clares that with the world war-on “we are . face to face with famine” and de clares. that unless revolutionary ef forts are. put forth to increase the food supply, the per capita amount on hand by next Christmas will be less than it has been for a thousand years. The address foUows: To AU the People of-North Carolina:. The world'war is on and we are face., to face with famine. MUlions of men whose .business in time of peace it was to produce are now ■ called upon to destroy. Unless drastic and revolu tionary efforts be made to increase our food supply the per capita amount on hand next Christmas wiU be less than it has been for a thousand years. The great Northwest advises us of ficially that it cannot next year furn ish us the food we have heretofore bought from it, but that it3 surplus must be sent to feed the men who fight. In this emergency we are not called upon to feed other nations, but simply to take care of ourselves.. We are not rqeuired to go Into all. the earth, but our work is both to begin and to end at Jerusalem. Much time has been lost, but there is etlH Mme left to provide against the coming, day of want. We still have six mouths of sunshine. We have abundant vacant lands.. And we have the people to cultivate these lands if they have a mind to work. I think the farmers are doing what they can. The duty rests upon.the people In the towns and cities to util ize their Idle hours and idle men in making food for themselves. Let the cities and towns take steps to have vacant lots plowed and turned over free of rent to people who will culti vate them. The teams aid labor in control of the cities might well be taken from the present work during th§, month of Mayand used In prepar ing vacant lands for Immediate cu ration. The. towns should also arrange for the purchase by wholesale of con tainers for the use of canning clubs and of fertilizers and distribute these to the people at prime cost PubMc funds could’ well be employed in this way and ft would be better for the streets of a town to be ubswept for two weeks in May than for our pan tries to be bare next winter. I urge every man in town to go into the surrounding country and procure from one to five acres or land and plant it in corn, potatoes, peas and beans and thus make sure provision against want In his own family. Do not expect your neighbor to do -this,, but do it yourself. I earnestly, urge every man In this state who has an idle acre to Hst ft with the mayor of the nearest town as rent-free land for any person who wlil plant ft in food and feed crops. ■ 1 All forms of Idleness and waste of time should be discouraged. I love a game of baseball, but ft seems to me that the summer of 1917 is no time for professional baseball, and I think aH professional leagues should be dis banded. The man who is able to play professional base ball ought to be either In a trench or in a furrow. And the "fans" and “fannies” who hold down the bleachers can find recom pense and- recreation In a corn field. Let the automobile Joy ride be given up entirely. Surely this much of self- denial can be practiced by every man •in the state. If everyjnan who owns an automobile would cut his gasoline bilPhalf in two much would be saved to m eet'the necessities of the people and a vast quantity of gasoline would be made available tor the uses of war. I am advised that Mr. Rockefeller could In the face of : this economy on the port of the people still manage to get along.' We should make a frolic of our ne cessities and should. force, our fads and fancies-to furnish us food. .As the children would say, let’s all play at.farming this year. .t Seriously, men and brethren, let us shake oft our fatuous complacence and give ourselves no' rest until we know that we and our loved ones are se cure from the wolf whose gaunt spec ter even now looms large against the skyline. Let us work while it is summer. Winter cometh. T. W. BICKETT, Governor. Accepts Wilmington Cavalry Troop. The state headquarters for North Carolina. National Guard, received from the war department official ac ceptance of cavalry troops B. of An drew, and C, of Wilmington, recently formed. The sessions of the efficiency hoard of the North Carolina Guard '■ontlnue here, going into the inner life status of the guard with a view to grounding’out the most-cohesive and weli: ordered conditions possible In Preparation for putting the guard units In Federal. service again. The ses sions are all strictly secret. Emergency Is Not Yet Met. Notwithstanding the fact Qmt the campaign for an increased acreage in and production of food and .feedstuffs has been pushed in every section of North Carolina there is a distinct fear yet^that the emergency has not been met and that many people in this state are-going to find themselves in.a very uncomfortable position during the coming fall and winter. “We know that the rorces working in -this campaign have gotten excel lent results in\j>ractioally every sec tion of the state,” declared John Paul Lucas, executive secretary of the North Carolhia Food Conservation Commission, “but we are not fooling ourselves. We know that an increas ed acreage has been planted in food and feed crops already and that the planting season is not yet past But we also know that it is hard for our people to appreciate Juet how much more we must produce than-we ordi narily do to make up for what - we have been importing, each year >, We know that we have not .yet-, in sight, either already seeded or under prepa ration for planting,, a. sufficient addi tional acreage to^abything like-make up the deficit that^wili be caused by the withdrawal for . military purposes of the huge amount; of food and feed supplies we have been importing from the Weet and other sections “I believe that our farmers, as a general thing, are going to do their utmost to meet the situation. We have many opportunities of observing this. They are rallying nobly. From almost every county we have reports of farmers who realize that in this fight to the death the farmer occupies a strategic position and are acting ac cordingly. One farmer in Moore coun ty had 100 acres of land prepared for cotton. Ninety acres of that land was planted in corn instead. An Edge combe county farmer seized 12 acres of land of one of his tenants had pre pared for cotton and planted it for his tenant in corn. We have urged a reasonable reduction in the tobacco and cotton acreage and have secured some reduction, but we must look mostly to the extra acres that will be cultivated and to the increased produc tion per acre as a result of good til lage methods and heavier fertilization- for the greatest results.” . Building Funds Apportioned. The State Building Commision In session here authorized the expendi ture of practically $l/'\000 of bond is sue funds for permanent improve ment -. in state institutions. Only three members ot the commission were in session here. They were Mr. R. F. Dalton of Greensboro chairman, Mr. J. H. Bridgers of Henderson secretary, and Mr. D. W. Patrick of Snow Hill. The commission determined that all institutions receiving funds from the proceeds of the bond issues should file with the commission preliminary state ments of what they propose' to build, the purpose of the building, the gen eral description, materials to be used. It was decided that alt plans and: sketches submitted by the architects, engineers and contractors for the vari ous boards and institutions whose buildings, improvements and additions come under the supervision of the building commission, shall be submit ted to the building commission' with recommendations of the superintend ents and board., The commission ad journed to meet against May 31 at 10:30. One of the largest single appropria tions authorized was that of $40,000 to be. spent with the approval of the In surance Commissioner for installa tion of fire protection apparatus at the various state institutions. Other appropriations were: State Santatorlum for Tuberculosis, $5,000 for biler and deep well hereto fore contracted bad $20,000 for water works system, fire protection, sewer and sewage disposal plant Eastern State Hospital, $13,844 for steel water tank, coal trestle, addition to kitchen, and canning plant. Test Farm Crops Are Fine. Commissioner W. A. Graham, of the department ot agriculture, returned from a visit to the state test farm In the black lands of Hyde county, and says that he found crop conditions in that section the finest he ever saw anywhere. He saw two huge fields- ot Irkih potatoes of 350 acres each, nearly ready to dig. The potato crop all through QmVsectloh is fine. The cultivation of Qrese block drained lands, he says, is marvelous in many respects. He found men who had paid $40 per acre for these lands, cleaned them out and put them in cul tivation by planting corn with sticks in unbroken lands and raised a crop that paid for Qie land the first year. ,Governor Bickett Grants Pardon. Governor Bickett granted a pardon for Claradius G. Buffkin,'Bladen'coun ty, who has served, seven'yeara of a Qitrty years’ sentence' for second de gree murder. He 'has made a good prisoner and his health is' greatly im paired. Very many of the best, people In the section , where the killing oc curred urged the pardon. Save the Hogs from Cholera.

The county homes in North Caro lina in 1915 had fifteen thousand acres of farm lands with only four thousand under cultivation. This fact has stir red the North Carolina Food Conserva tion Commission to make an emphatic call to the county commissioners of the hundred counties in North Caro lina to rally to the cause and put every available acre Inito cultivation. With a short session of the execu tive committee and the election of of ficers for the coming year, -the annual session of the Woman’s Missionary Society of the Western North Carolina Methodist Conference came to a. suc cessful conclusion at Asheville.

I heered thet Bud Spicer come by hyar yistiddy plumb full of liquor an’' ’lowed he’d seen Jesse an’ Jim • Asberry a-talkin’ ter- gether jest afore yore pap was kilt.” He broke off abruptly, then added: "Ye went away from hyar last night, an’ didn’t git in'twell atter sunup—I just: heered the news, an’ come ter look fer ye.” I “Air you-all ’lowin’ thet I shot them shoots from the laurel?” inquired Sam son, quietly. '"Ef we-all hain’t ’lowin’ hit, Sam son, we’re plumb shore thet Jesse Purvy’s folks' will ’low h it They’re jest a-holdin’ yore life like a hostage fer Purvy’s, anyhow. Ef he dies they’ll try ter git ye.” The boy flashed' a challenge about the group, which was now drawing rein at Spicer South’s yard-fence. His . eyes were sullen, but he made no an swer. One of the men who had listened In silence now spoke: “In the fust place, Samson, we hain’t a-sayin’ ye done h it In the nex' place, ef ye did do hit we hain’t a-blamln’ ye—,much. But I reckon them dawgs don’t lie, an*, ef they trails in hyar ye’ll ’need us. Thet's why we’ve done come.” The boy slipped down from his mule and helped Lescott to dismount He deliberately unloaded the saddlebags and kit and laid them on the top step of the stile, and, while he held his peace, neither denying nor affirming,' his kinsmen sat their horses and waited.. Even to Lescott it was palpable that some of them believed the young heir to clan leadership responsible for the shooting of Jesse Purvy, and that others believed him innocent, yet none the less In danger of the enemy's ven geance. But, regardless of divided opinion, all were alike ready to stand at his back and all alike awaited his final utterance. I Then, in the thickening gloom, Sam- ’ ■ son turned at the foot of the Btile and faced the gathering.' He stood rigid, and his. eyes-flashed with deep passion. His hands, hanging at the seams-of-his jeans breeches, clinched, and his voice came in a slow utter ance through which throbbed the ten sity of a soul-absorbing bitterness. I knowed all 'bout Jesse Purvy’s bein’ shot. . . . When my pap lay a-dyln’ over thar at his house I. was a little shaver ten years old . Jesse Purvy hired somebody ter kill him . . . an’ I promised my pap that I’d find out who thet man was, an’ thet I’d git ’em both—some day. So help me, God Almighty, I’m a-goin’ ter git. ’em both—sorae day!” The boy paused and lifted one hand as though taking an oath. ‘Tm a-tellin' you-all the truth . . But I didn’t shoot them shoots this morn in’. I hain’t no truce buster. I gives ye my hand on hit. . . . Bf them dawgs come hyar they’ll find me hyar, an’ ef they hain’t liars they’ll go right by hyar. I don’t ’low ter run away, an’ I don’t low ter hide out I’m a-goln’ ter stay right hyar. Thet’s all I’ve got ter say ter ye.’’ For a moment there was no reply. - Then the older man nodded with a gesture of relieved anxiety. "Thet’s all we wants ter know, Sam son,” he said, slowly. "Light, men an’ come in.” CHAPTER III. In days when the Indian held the Dark and Bloody Grounds a pioneer; felling oak and poplar logs for the home he meant to establish on the banks of a purling watercourse, let his ax slip, and the cutting edge gashed his ankle. Since to the discovered, be longs the christening, that watercourse became Crippleshin, and so it is today set down on atlas pages. A few miles away, as the crow flies, but many weary leagues as a man must travel, a brother settlor, racked with rheuma tism, gave to his creek the name of Misery. The two pioneers had come together from Virginia, as their ances tors had come before them from Scot land. Together they had found one of the two gaps through the'mountain wall, which for more than a hundred miles has no other passable r if t. To gether, and as comrades, they had made their homes and founded their race. What original grievance had sprung up between their descendants none of the present generation inew— perhaps it was a farm line or disputed title to a pig. The primary' incident was lost In the limbo of the past; but for fifty years, with occasional Inter vale ot truce, lives had been snuffed out in the fiercely burning hate of these men whose ancestors had been comrades. Old Spicer South and his nephew Samson were the direct lineal descen dants of the namer of Misery. Their kinsmen dwelt about them: the Souths, the Jaspers, the Spicers, the Wileys, the Millers and McCagers. Other fam ilies, related only by marriage and close association, were, in feud align ment, none the less “Souths.” And over beyond the ridge, where the springs and brooks Sowed the other way to feed Crippleshin, dwelt the Hollmans, the Purvises, the Asberries, the Hollises and the Daltons—men equally strong In their vindictive fealty to the code of the vendetta.. By mountain standards old Spicer South was rich. His lands had been claimed when tracts could be had for tli e taking, and, though he had to make his cross mark when there was a coflb tract to be signed, his instinctive mind was shrewd and far seeing. The tinkle of his cowbells was heard for a long distance along the creek bottoms. His hillside fields were the richest and his coves the most fertile in that country. Some day, when a railroad should bur row through his section, bringing the development of coal and timber at the head of the rails, a sleeping fortune would yawn and awake to enrich him. There were black outcroppings along the cliffs, which he knew ran deep in veins of bituminous wealth. But to that' time he looked with foreboding, for he had been raised to the stand ards of his forefathers and saw in the coming of a new. regime a Curtailment of personal liberty. For new-fangled ideas he held only the aversion of deep-rooted prejudice. He hoped that he might live out his days and pass before the foreigner held his land and the law became a power stronger than the individual *>t the clan. The law was his eneny, because it said to him, "Thou shalt not,” when he sought to take the yellow com which bruising labor had coaxed from scattered rock- strewn fields to his own mash vat and still. It meant,' also, a tyrannous power usually seized and administered by enemies, which undertook to forbid the personal settlement of personal quarrels. But his eyes, which could not' read print, could read the signs of the times. He foresaw the inev itable coming of that day. Already he he had given up the worm and mash vat, and no longer sought to make or selllliieitjiquor. That was a conces sion to the federal power, which could no longer.be successfully fought. State power was still largely a weapon In factional hands, and In his country the Hollinans were, the office holders. To the Hollmans he could make no concessions. In Samson, born to be the fighting man, reared to be the fighting man, equipped by nature with deep hatreds and tigerish courage, there had cropped-out from time to time the reatlesB spirit of the.phiIosr opher and a hunger for knowledge. That was a matter in which the old man found his bitterest and most se cret apprehension. It was at this house that Cieorge Lescott, distinguished landscape paint er of New York and the world at large, arrived in the twilight Whatever enemy might have to be met tomorrow, old Spicer South rec ognized as a more immediate call upon his* attention the wounded guest of today.- One of the kinsmen.proved to have a rude working knowledge of bone setting, and before the half hour had passed Lescott’s wrist was In a splint, and his injuries as well tended as possible, which proved to be quite well enough.* * * * .» * * While Spicer South and his cousins had been sustaining themselves or building up competences by tilling their soli the leaders of the other fac tion were basing larger fortunes on the profits of merchandise and. trade. So, although Spicer South could nei ther read nor write, his chief enemy, Micah Hollman, was to outward seem ing an urbane and fairly equipped man of affairs: Judged by their heads, the clansmen were rougher and more illit erate on Misery, and In closer touch with civilization on Crlppleshin. A deeper scrutiny showed this seeming to be one of the strange anomalies of the mountains. \ Micah Hollman had established him self at Hixon, that shack town which had ..passed of late, years from, feudal county seat to the section's one point of contact with the outside world; a town where the ancient and modern orders brushed Bhoulders; where the new was tolerated, but dared not be come aggressive. Directly across the street from the courthouse stood an ample frame building, on whose side wall was emblazoned the legend, “Hollman’s Mammoth' Department Store.” That was the secret strong hold' of Hollman power. He had al ways spoken deploringly of that spirit of lawlessness, which had given the mountains a-bad: name. When the railroad came to Hixcn it found In Judge Hollman a "public- spirited citizen.” Incidentally, the tim ber that it hauled and the coal that its- fiat cars carried down to the Blue- grass went largely to his consignees. He had bo astutely anticipated coming events that, when the first scoutB of capital sought options they found themselves constantly referred to Judge Hollman. No wheel, it seemed, could turn without his nod. It was natural that the genial storekeeper should become the big man of the community and inevitable that the one big man should become the dictator. His inherited place as leader of the Hollmans in the feud he had seem ingly passed oh as an obsolete pre rogative. Yet, In business. matters.' he sar' found to drive a hard bargain, and men came to regard it tiio part ,of good policy to meet rather than com bat his requirements, It was essen tial to his purposes that the officers of the law in his country should be in sympathy with him. Sympathy soon became abject subservience. When a South had opposed Jesse Purvy in the primary as candidate for high, sheriff he was found one 'day lying on his face with a bullet-riddled body. It may have been a coincidence, which pointed to Jim Asberry, the judge’B nephew, as the assassin. At all events, the judge's nephew was a poor boy, and a charitable grand jury declined to indict him. > In the course of five, years several South adherents, who- had crossed Holman’s path, became victims, of-the laurel, ambuscade.' The theory of co incidence was strained, slowly, the rumpi grew and persistently spread, though no man would admit having fathered it, that before each of these executions star-chamber conferences had been Held in the rooms' above Micah Hollman’s “Mammoth' Depart ment Store.” It was said that these exclusive sessions were attended by Judge Hollman, Sheriff Purvy and cer tain other gentlemen selected by rea son of their marksmanship. When one of these victims fell John South had just returned from a law school “down below,” wearing “fotched-on” clothing and thinking “fotched-on” thoughts. He had amazed the com munity by demanding the right to as sist in probing y and prosecuting the affair. He had men shocked the com munity into complete paralysis by re questing the grand jury to indict not alone the alleged assassin, but also his employers, whom he named as. Judge Hollman ,and Sheriff Purvy. Then he, too, fell under a bolt from the laurel. That was the first public accusation against the bland capitalist,' and It car ried Ite own prompt warning against repetition; The judge’s high .sheriff and chief ally retired from office and went abroad only with a bodyguard. Jesse Purvy had built his store at a crossroads 25 miles from the rail road. Like Hollman, he had won a reputation for open-handed charity, was liked—and hated. His friends were legion. His enemies were so nu merous that he apprehended violence not only from the Souths but also from others who nursed grudges in no way _ related to the line of feud cleavage' The Hollman-Purvy combi nation had retained enough of its old power to $scape the law’s retribution and to hold- its dictatorship, but the efforts' of John South had not been altogether bootless. He had ripped away two masks, 'and their erstwhile wearers could no longer hold their old semblance of law-abiding philanthro pists. . Jesse Purvy’s home was the show place of the countryside. Com modious verandas' looked out over pleasant orchards, and In the same inclosure stood the two frame build ings of his store—for he, too, com bined merchandise. with baronial powers. But back of Jh e place rose the mountain side, on which Pnrvy never looked without dread. Twice its impenetrable thickets had spat at him. Twice he had recovered from “Ef It Hain't Askin' Too Much, Will ', Ye Let Me See Ye Paint One of Them Things?” v wounds that would have taken a less charmed life. And In grisly reminder off the: terror which' clouded the#peace of his days stood the eight-foot .log stockade at the rear of the place, which the proprietor had built to shield his daily journeys between house and store. But Jesse Purvy was not deluded by his escapes. He knew that he was "marked down.” The years of strain were telling on him. The robust, full-blooded face was showing deep lines; his flesh was growing flaccid; his glance tinged with quick apprehension.. He tbi& his intimates that he realized "they’d get him,” yet he sought to prolong his term of escape. ■ . Yesterday morning Jesse Purvy had risen early as usual, and, after a. sat isfying breakfast, had gone to his store to arrange for the day’s * busi ness. One or two of his henchmen, seeming loafers, but In reality a body guard, were lounging'within call; A married daughter was chatting ; with her father while her young ’ baby playe.d among the barrels and cracker boxes. The daughter went to a rear win dow and gazed up at the mountain. The cloudless skies were still’ in ..hid ing behind a Curtain of m ist The' woman was idly watching the vanish ing fog wraiths, arid her 'ather came over to her side. Then tile baby cried, and she stepped back. Hiirvy himself remained at. the .window*. it was a thing he did riai often d.-j ft IefE him exposed ' lift ?!:e mov . cautiously g'uuidc;!'iiie lias iu in - ..ivii.F' ~r re- laxed vigilance. He stood there pos sibly thirty seconds, then a sharp fu* sillade of dear reports barked out and was shattered by the hills into a long reverberation. With a band clasped to his chest, Purvy turned, walked to the middle of the floor,,and fell. The henchmen rushed to the open sash. They leaped out and plunged op the mountain, tempting the assas sin’s fire, but the assassin was satis fied. The mountain ' was again as quiet as it had been at dawn. Inside, at the middle of the store, Jesse Purvy shifted his head'against his daugh ter’s kneei and said, as one stating an expected event: “Well, they’ve got me.” ~ ' An ordinary mountaineer would have-been carried home to die in the darkness of a dirty and windowless shack, Thia long-suffering star of Jesse Pnrvy ordained' otherwise. He might' go under or he might once more beat his way back and ont of the quick sands of death. At all events, he would •fight for life to the last gasp. Twenty miles away In the core of the wilderness, removed from a rail road by a score of semi-perpendicular miles, a fanatic had once decided to found a school.- Now a faculty of ten men taught such as cared to come such things as they cared to learn. Higher up the hillside stood a small, but model hos pital, with a modern operating table and a case of surgical instruments, which, it* was said, the state could not surpass, * To this haven Jesse Purvy^ the mur der lord, was borne In a litter carried on the shoulders of his dependents. Here, as his steadfast guardian star decreed, he'found two prominent med ical visitors, who hurried him to the operating table. Later he, was re moved to a Vhite bed, with the June sparkle in his eyes, pleasantly modu lated through drawn blinds, and the June Tus'tle and bird chorus in his ears—and his own thoughts in his brain. Conscious, but in great pain, Pflftry beckoned Jim Asberry and Aaron Hol lis, his- chiefs of bodyguard, to his bed side and waved the nurse back out of hearing. “If I don’t get well,” he said feebly, "there's a job for you two boys. I reckon you know what It is?” They nodded, and Asberry whis pered a name: “Samson South?” "Yes,” Purvy spoke In a whisper; but the*old vindictiveness was not smothered;< “You got t]»e old .man, I reckon you can manage the cub. If you don't he’ll get you both one day.” The two henchmen scowled. “I’ll git him tomorrer,” growled As- berry. “Thar bain’t no sort of use in a-waitin’.” ■ - “No!” For an instant Purvy’B voice rose out of its weakness to its old staccato tone of command, a tone which brought obedience. “If I get well I have other plans. Never mind what they are. That’s my business. If I don’t die, , leave him alone, until I give other orders. "If I get well and Samson South Is killed meanwhile I won’t live long either. It would be my life for his. Keep close to him. The minute you hear of my death—get him." He paused again, then supplemented, "You two will find something mighty interestin’ in my will.” It was afternoon when Purvy reached the hospital, and, at nightfall of the same day,-,there arrived at his store's entrance, on stumbling, hard- ridden mules, several men, followed by two tawny hounds whose long ears flapped over their lean jaws, and whose eyeB were listless and tired, but whose black muzzles wrinkled and sniffed. with that sensitive instinct which follows the man scent. The ex sheriff’s family were Instituting pro ceedings independent of the chief’s or ders. The next morning this party plunged into the mountain tangle and beat the cover with the bloodhounds in leash. The two gentl^faced dogs picked their ^ay between the flowering' rho dodendrons, the glistening laurels, the feathery pine sprouts and the moss- covered rocks. They went -gingerly and alertly on ungainly, cushioned feet Just as their masters were de spairing they came to a place directly over the store, where a branch had been bent back and:hitched to clear the outlook and where a boot heel had crushed th.e moss. ..There one of them raised his nose high into the air, opened his mouth, and let out a long, deep-chested bay of discovery. CHAPTER IV. George Lescott had known hospital ity of many brands and degrees. He had been the lionized celebrity In places of fashion. -- He had been the guest of 'equally famous brother artists In the cities of two hemispheres, and; since sincere painting' had been his pple' star, he had gone where his art’s Wanderlust backoned. He had fol lowed the lure of transitory beauty to'remote sections of the world. The present trip was only one of many like it, which had brought him Into touch with varying peoples and dis tinctive types of-life. He told himself that never bad he found men at once so crude and so courteous as these hosts -who, facing personal perils, had still time and willingness to regard his comfort. The coming of the kinsmen, who, would stay until, the present danger passed, had filled the house. The four bedB in the cabin proper were full, and some slept on floor mattresses. Lescott, because a guest and wounded, was given a small room aside. Sam son, however, shared his quarters In order to perform any service that an injured man might require. It had beeii a full and unusual day for. the painter, and.its Incidents crowded in on him in Mtrospect and drove off the possibility of sleep. Samson, too, seemed wakeful, and In the isolation of the dark room the two men tell into conversation, which almost lasted out the night. Samson went into the con fessional. This was the first human being he had ever met to whom' he; could unburden, his soul. The thirst to taste what knowledge lay beyond the hills; the unnamed wanderlust that had at times brought him a reetivenees so poignant as to be agonizing; the undefined attuning Pt his heart to the beauty of sky and hill; these matters he had hitherto kept locked In guilty silence. ' Inacove or lowland pocket, stretch ing into, the mountain side, lay - the small and meager farm of the Widow Miller. The Widow Miller was a “South;” that is to say, she fell, by "I Couldn’t Live Withouten Ye, Sam son. I Jest Couldn’t Oo Hit" tie of marriage, under the protection ol the clan head. She lived alone with her fourteen-year-old son and her six teen-year-old daughter. The daughter was Sally. The sun rose on the morning atter Lescott arrived, the mists lifted, and the cabin of the Widow Miller stood revealed. A tousle-headed boy made his way to the bam to feed the cattle, and a red patch of color, aB bright and tuneful as a Kentucky cardinal, appeared at the door between the morning-glory vines. The red patch of color was Sally. She made her way, carrying . a bucket, to the spring, where She knelt down and gazed at her own image In the water. _ ■ " ■ Before going home she set down her bucket by the stream, and, with a quick glance toward tne hquse to make sure that she was not observed, climbed through the brush and was lost to view. She followed a path that her own feet had made, and after, a steep course upward came upon a bald face of rock, which stood out stonn battered where a rift went through the ‘backbone of the ridge. - This point of vantage commanded the other val ley. Down below, across the treetops, were a roof and a chimney from which a thread of smoke rose In an attenu ated shaft. That was .Spicer South's house and Samson’s home. The girl leaned against the gnarled bowl of the white oak and waved toward the roof and chimney. She cupped her hands and raised them to her lips like one who means to shout across a great dis tance, then she whispered so low that only she-herself could hear: “Hello, Samson Sonth!” She stood for a space looking down, and forgot to laugh, while her eyeB grew religiously and softly deep, then, turning, she ran down the elope. She had performed her morning devotions. That day at the house of Spicer South was an off day. The kinsmen who had stopped for the night stayed on through the morning. Nothing was said of the possibility of trouble. Thie men talked crops and tossed horse shoes In the.yard; but no one went to work in the fields, and all remained within easy call. Only young Tama rack Spicer, a raw-boned nephew, wore a sullen face and made a great show of cleaning his rifle and pistol. Shortly after* dinner he disappeared, and when the afternoon was well ad vanced Samson, too, with his rifle on his arm, strolled toward the stile. (TO BE CONTINUED.) How Suekers Bite.

A ndthe proof of this you will find, a thousand fold over, in the records of Saxon ow ners— and in. the opinion of m otor-car buyers in general.' Saxon cars have definitely estab lished their superiority in every phase of m otor car performance.

When first intro duced to the brooder they should be put under the hover and made to stay there by setting. boards up close around it for a few hours that they may rest and grow warm in their new quarters. Then they should be let out a lew minutes and shown toe way back again. N Daring the first day or two they must not be allowed to remain out of the hover long enough to get chilled, and when the attendant is away-it is best to put boards up close around toe hover (but not close enough to cut off the air) to make.sure that the chicks do not stray out and become chilled In her absence.

A. WHITTLE. Hecently a Southern fertilizer con cern obtained a large order for acid phosphate from Holland at $55 per ton. Contrast this $55.00 per ton with $20.00 per ton paid by the Southern farmer. If the Dutch farmer can afford to Iky $55 per ton for acid phosphate and make it pay. how much more can a Southern farmer obtain when he can buy about three times as much phosphate with the same money? Dutch farmers are shrewd and thrif- fy. They have developed agriculture to a very high state of efficiency, and they know quite well what can be done with acid phosphate at $56 per ton. Their land is not poor. To the contrary it is highly developed and fertile. Every rod that can possibly be used for agriculture is cultivated like a garden. They have found that HO matter how rich their soil, fertiliz ing it pays. Out of their experience they find that it pays them now to invest as much as $55 per ton in acid phosphate. Aids In Combatting Boll Weevil Under boll weevil conditions, early maturing of cottAi is essential.. Acid phosphate, of course, promotes the fru ition and maturing of cotton. All ag ricultural authorities are now recom mending liberal use of acid phosphate In fertilizers as an important measure in combatting the boll weevil. If the Southern farmer had to pay $55 per ton for acid phosphate, what a disadvantage he would face! Since he only pays about one-third this price, hbw fortunately situated he is! Na ture has placed here in the South great deposits of rock phosphate !which, when treated with sulphuric acid, becomes acid phosphate, an ingre dient of fertilizer. Not only is the Southern farmer fa- Tored by reason of the natural de posits of phosphatic materials, but, in decent years, the South has become a' great manufacturer of sulphuric acid. Sulphuric acid has an import ant place in many forms of manufac turing, and is one of the essentials In making munitions of war, hence large quantities of it have been drawD to the munition plants at enhanced prices. The high market for sulphuric acid has lifted the price of acid phos phate over that Cf former years, but not enbugh to prevent its still being a most economical plant food. The Quickly Available Form I A dd phosphate is that form of phos phatic fertilizers most readily availa ble as plant food. Hence this is why agricultural authorities are stressing its use in fertilizers for boll weevil territory, where the purpose is to has ten maturity of the plants and to get as much cotton set as possible before the weevil has developed in sufficient number to get all the hew squares and the bolls that form, as it will do later on in the season. PUSH COTTON INWEEVIL TERRITORY J. C. Pridmore, Agronomist. Inquiry—“How would you fertilize to beat the boll weevil .to the cotton?" In growing cotton under boll weevil conditions, several factors must be given consideration. The land should be well drained and well supplied with vegetable matter. Good seed of a va riety adapted to the locality should be chosen, and, of course, a variety that will mature its fruit quickly and resist wilt should be planted. Fer tilize liberally, and properly cultivate. On the heavier soils, such as the red clays and clay loams, the use of a fer tilizer carrying 10 per cent to 12 per cent • phosphoric acid, 3 to 4 per cent nitrogen and a small per cent of pot ash, if it can be had, should be used. Apply at the rate of 250 to 400 pounds per acre. On lighter soils in which nitrogen, phosphorus and potash are all usually deficient, a fertilizer carry ing all three elements is desirable. Use 10 to 12 per cent phosphoric acid, 3 or 4 per cent nitrogen and I or 2 per cent potash, at the rate of 300 to 400 .pounds to the acre. SOY BEANS IN THE ROTATION. Inquiry—“Will you recommend a rotation in which soy beans, cotton and some other crop will be used?” Soy beans are highly recommended. They are. a legume and, therefore, do not require much nitrogen. The hay is abundant and the feeding value high. The oil mills afford a ready market for the bean, and the cake which is produced by the mills has splendid feeding values. A good rotation to follow is cotton followed by com with soy beans, fol lowed by oats and. cowpeas. For southern conditions Hollybrook and Mammouth Yellow are recommended. —J. N. HARPER, Agronomist HINTS TO REDUCE MOTION PICTURE HAZARD : Material reduction of the fire haz ard in the motion picture industry is expected to result from the publi cation of bulletins under the direc tion of the Committee on Fire Pre vention Regulations and Insurance of the National Association of the Mo tion Picture Industry, Inc. Bulletin Number I, which has just been issued, points out that insurance rates on aims and buildings where film is used are regulated by the losses and the hazardous conditions now common to the industry. It then sets forth, un der the attractive heading “Ten IQnds of Fire Insurance That Won’t Cost a Cent of Premiums” the follow ing suggestions for prevention: I. Keep plenty of water handy, (a) In an automatic sprinkler system suitable to your conditions: (b) In convenient buckets; (c) In faucets with an inch and a quarter hose and nozzle attached, (d) Have fire ex tinguishers, which everybody is shown how to use; (e) Keep sand pails han dy. Sand will stop a small film fire quickly and will not damage the stock. : 2. Keep film in containers when hot actually in use. The time loss In replacing it is nothing. Naked filxa is the one condition that guarantees that a little fire will get beyond con trol In a few seconds. 3. Throw film scraps into self- closing metal cans, nover into open waste baskets. . 4, Keep the cutting rooms, etc., Well swept. The tiny pieces of film that fly about make the dust as dan gerous as so much gunpowder. J 5. Havci a professional electrician do all your wiring, In accordance with every city ordinance, no matter how “unreasonable” it seems. Have the light globes caged—a broken globs may maltfe only one spark, but that can ignite $1,000 worth of film. Han dle no film by any artificial light but electricity. 6. Box your radiators and steam pipes. The film that touches a hot pipe and crinkles up might just as easily have burst into fiam'e. 7 .' Enforce the “no smoking” rale. Give the boys a smoking room if they need it, and make the boss and his guests who are looking over the place leave their cigars, cigarettes and pipes outside, as they would if they stepped into a theater for a glimpse of the picture. 8. Banish the “strike anywhere" match. Furnish boxes of safety matches free, if necessary. But don’t have anything that will light except when it is intended to. 9. Keep only enough cement, gas oline and collodion on hand for the day’s work. They are all highly In flammable, and should be stored where they can do no harm. 10. Appoint one man or woman as fire monitor, and let him know it is all his job is worth to fail to call down the boss, the cutter, or the office boy for any carelessness.- The bulletin is being distributed to all the affected interests in the Busl- ness. The committee is composed of Je i'e L. Lasky, Charles M. Biscay and F. H Elliott. FRAME BUILDINGS IN TRE FIRE DISTRICTS i /Insurance Commissioner James R. (Young has issued the following letter jto building inspectors, chiefs of fire !departments and other local officials !throughout the State in regard to ‘frame buildings in fire districts and ,repairs: “Gentlemen:—Because of some mis understanding and confusion in regard lto frame buildings in fire districts and repairs thereto, I deem it necessary to call to your attention the following matters: “I. Under section 2985 the board o! aldermen or commissioners of each ,dity and town must establish and de- !fine a fire district In their city or town. “2. Under section 2988, no frame building (including iron-clad build ings) can be erected under any cir cumstances. -“j. Under section. 2988, no -frame qjvwoqden building can be altered, re- MUred?i%r moved except upon a per m it of the building inspector, approv: ed by the Insurance Commissioner. The responsibility of passing upon the application is placed upon the-build ing inspector by the law; but his per mit is not valid or effective until ap proved by the Insurance Commis- •ioner. “4. In section 3010 we find: ‘No Jrullding now or hereafter built shall be altered, repaired, or moved, until it has been examined and approved by the inspector as being in a good and safe condition to be altered as pro posed, and the alteration, repair, or change so made shall conform to ths provisions of the law.’ This forbids the allowing of (I) repairs to old or dilapidated buildings or (2) the re pairs to be other than is allowable In the fire district. “5: No permit will be approved by the Commissioner unless accompanied by an application on the blank de scribed by the Department. “6. Section 3484 makes violations a misdemeanor, with a fine of not less than $100 nor more than $500. “7. This’law is a most important and necessary one for ‘ the protection of our cities and towns, especially their business districts, and the local inspectors and officials Will be held to a strict account for their enforce ment and any violations vigorously prosecuted. “8. Under the law no mayor or board of aldermen can pass upon or grant- these permits; but the mayor, city attorney and police are charged with their enforcement. , "Kindly let me have your active aid and hearty co-operation in this mat ter."

THE PEOPLE'S RIGHTS MAINTAIN; VNAWED BY INFLUENCE AND UNBRIBED BY GAIN.” VOLUMN XVUL DAVIE COUNTY 50 YEARS AGO. We now take up the Methodist church, Fifty years ago it was divided into two branches only, now into four or five. Then it was Episcopal and Methodist Protest ant. Therewere a few Protestant church es in the county, but we didn’t know enough about them then to attempt a de served sketch of them now. So Wvs leave that sketch for some one better posted to write. However, the Methodist Protest ant church came out of, and is a branch of the "M. E. Church,” as it is called. It seems thev split on the subject of church government. The Protestants believed in a more representative or democratic gov ernment in its legislative capacity, than the M. E. Church did. Yet, we believe the M. E. Church has done more to evan gelize this country than the other Metho dist churches have done perhaps, alto gether. It may be of interest to many of The Record readers for us to give a brief out line of the origin of the M. E. Church. It is a daughter of the Episcopal church, and was named after, or for its mother. At Oxford, England, in 1729, John Wes ley and his brother Charles, with a few oiher brethren, organized a “meeting” for their moral good Theywereeverthe faithful few. In six years, they only numbered IS. “Methodists’* was applied to them on account of their methodical mode of life and work. It soon became known as the Methodist Society, which name it bore during the life of its organi zers. Mr. Wesley did not mean to start a seperate church. For SO years he trav eled and preached and organized these societies, both in England and in America. Botthey were organizations under the ecclesiastical control of the Episcopal church, of which the great Wesley was a devoted, active member and a gospel preacher until his death, which occurred in 1791. At his death, these societies, in the two countries numbered 80,000 mem bers. Wesley lived to be 88 years old. These Societies grew rapidly in this coun try. The Episcopal church had many preachers over here, looking after and preaching for these Societies, Wesley a- rnong them. At the outbreak ef the -war between the two countries, the Revolu tion, all the preachers of English descent returned to England except one. This re tarded the growth of the Societies in this country, and doubtless caused American members to lose faith in the mother church. Anywayvabout or between 1600 and 1808, a separate church was organ ized, and called the Methodist Episcopal Church, the one we are now writing about. Will first speak of some of the pastors, the “circuit-riders," as thev were called, then of two or three of the local or "home preachers, as they'were called. It seems that the average Conference preachers could preach then as well as they do now. This may appear so, because the average Baptist preachers could not preach as well then as they can now. It is safe to say that Baptist preachers, during these years, have made greater progress in edu cation, oratory, pathos and pulpit power than the Methodists have. One reason is. they had more room to progress in. Speaking of “theological sermons,” re minds us of our first impression on that subject. As first impressions are the most lasting, we have very little patience ■with mere church-taught theology. A good meeting was going on. Boy-like, we were more interested in the. singing, see ing sinners going to the mourner's bench, and hearing the good sisters shout than we were in the long, dry, theological ser mons that generally preceeded. We thought the preacher was too lazy to at once get to his preach, and when he did und got to spinning out his theology, he was actually too lazy to quit. After thus peaching for over a week, one night, having run out of, or forgotten his notes, stated he would not preach a theologi cal sMmon1 but would simply give a short Bible He did; and it was to the Piint Everybody said it was the be3t sermon they wer heard him preach. A Steat time fo,'*°wed that sermon; that “Sible talk " SuwTs then, we have never had any faith in ser.’0008 that had more theology than truth in ^ 6®* of whatever church or creed.

(He developed L 0 one of the most saintly';Dien we ever He had a moral standard, all JbJs[■kne^ own. He rather be right with God and his own conscience than to have his church even say be was orthodox. We did know a preacher by the name of Parker. He was one of the smartest men that ever preached in Davie. He always announced his theme. One time he said: “My theme this mornfng is Gospel’s ad dition, and heaven's first rule in Arith metic. Another time it was: “Dives and Lazarus, and heaven and hell in contrast.” No man could preach with more power and earnestness than he, And he could make his audience believe everything he said. He did not pose as a sain.. Hetoldhishearersto do as he said and not as he did. Oncei he said “'Before I would be the means of sending one soul to hell, I would go out to yonder oak tree, and say come down. I would pull it up by the roots, place it on my shoulder, march to the Atlantic ocean and throw it in.” And all believed he meant it. The local preachers did a great work Will mention only two. Vince Walker was one. He was always about his Mas ter's business, In season and out of seas on. He lived his profession and his preaching. Everybody loved him for his works' sake. His greatness consisted in his humble service as a “child of a King.” The Qtherwe are glad to be able to men tion, is William Wilson. Hewasnotonly a local preacher, but one who stood high in the councils of bis church. He was a man possessing a personality all his own. And his preaching was always attracting and convincing. When it was 'known “Bill Wilson,” as he was called, was go ing to preach, everybody went; they knew they were going to get it fresh from the storm center of God’s grace. He was what he was, and not someone else He had convictions, and the courage to ex press and defend them; the kind of men the world needs today. He, in many re spects, was more David like than any man we ever knew—a sinner saved by grace and then “a man after God's own heart.” We liked him, because one al ways knew where to find him on all pub lic questions, and that was, on the prac tical and moral side. .

We are ready to furnish the money and supplies that are necessarj, but to send our men is a little to much to ask.

For a great many years doctors pronounced it a local dis ease and prescribed local remedies, and by constantly failing t« cure with local treatment, pronounced it incurable. Science has proven catarrh to be a constitutional dis ease and t herefore reuires consti tutional treatment. Hall’s Catorh Cure, manufactured by P. J. Che oey.& G^,. .Tole,do, Ohio, is the ouly constitutional cure on the mar ket. It is taken internally in doses from 10 drops to a teaspoonful. It acta directly on the blood and mu cous surfaces of the syateui. They offer one hundred dollars for any case it Mls to cure. Send or cir cnlars and testimonials.

Our corn patch is looking some better since the rain. Now if we can find a fellow who wants to exer cise his muscles with a hoe, it will look better yet. It is a pity that Mr. .Woodrow Wilson would't let Coi. Theodore Roosevelt go to Prance and assist in licking the Teutons. Teddy would have been a power in that land. A mean Democrat in Winston- Salem had the cheek to remark one day last week that if Mr. Wilson was running for President at this tinie, he wouldn’t get 25 votes in that town. Mean man to make remarks. Well he didn’t keep us out of war after all, did he?—charity and child ren No, he did not—but that slogan elected him President. . It doesn’t seem that we should waste much powder in celebrating July 4th this year,, as the powder will doubtless be needed for other purposes. England, whom we are helping in the great world war, wouldn’t kick if we forgot to cele brate this year. The News and Observer and other papers want a big demonstration on enrollment day, June the fifth. It seems to The Record that this day ,should be a day of fasting and pray er, for thousands of the young men will, never again see home and moth er after being conscripted.

Jt was from 8 to 10 miles long but not much more than one half mile wide. Fruit, corn, cotton, and vegetables were damaged and some of the wheat is a total loss. Farmers are very much back with their crops. Corn is small and much of the cetton is not Op; so cold that much of what was up has died; Unless we have a late fall, the cotton crop will be short this y.-ar. Ihere are some prospects of wheat aud oats where there is a stand. D. G. Brown and sons are trying their band on improved farming. They have a plot of some 8 or 9 acres on which they put 9 tons of pulverized lime last fall, then sowed it it in crimson clover seed; turned that under this spring, harrowed it, run it off and subsoiled it; harrwed it again then put guano with the planting and harrowed it again; they have gone over it about seven times this spring and the'com is now ready to come up. If Providence will favor them with a season and protection, we think they should reap a reasonable harvest. But we all should remember that the Increase is from the Lord. - Some the farm women have gone to carding and spinning the cotton part of their stockingg thread. This reminds us of 50 years ago. There seems to be some improvement of health; Brother Canup was burried at Faith this week; and Mr. Lewis Brown Jr. is seriously sick from a bite of some poisonous creature while out yesterday morning in the dark. We feel sorry for wage earners wl o have to buy everything at the present prices. We hope the war will soon be over and the promised peace and prosper ity will soon come. We also hope that something will be done to save our own people from starving. True, we sympa thize with suffering humanity everywhere; but It-Is natural to think of our home folks. Paul tells us if we care not for our own, we deny the faith and are worse than an Infidel. OBSERVER. There are some people in Davie county who are too close-fisted and stiiigy to get along well. “ What shall it profit a man if he gain the whole world and lose his own soul.” Thereare many of our folks who are going to the devil on account of this one sin. They came into the world without anything and they are going out the same way. There riche 3 will be left behind for rel atives to fight over.

DutcbmaQ Creek Trestle Burns. The railroad trestle across Dutch man creek, four miles north of Mocksville was about half destroyed by fire Monday afternoon. It is thought the fire was caused by a work train. Tne northbound pas senger train could not cross and was held back here until the fire was put put. A force from the furniture factory went over and did heroic work in saving the bridge. Passengers on the Southbound even ing train was 'transferred and the Northbound passengers arrived in Winston-Salem about five hours late.

The Campbell will case, in which the heirs of the late D. M. Campbell of Rowan countv brought suit to set aside his will, was settled by compromise in Rowan superior court. By the compromise Mr. H. P. Guffey, executor of the will, gets $2,500 and $1,000 is appopriated for monuments for Mr. and Mrs. Camp bell and their children, The heirs contesting the will—Mrs. Elvira Gaither, a sister of Mr. Campbell, and the Safrets, nephews and neices of Mr. Campbell, all of Davie county —get the remainder of the estate, each paying its own costs. The es tate, has been variously estimated— $25,000 or more being some of the estimates—but Esq. G. A. Guffey, of Rowan, a neighbor of Mr. Camp bell and an intimate friend, says the total will be about $10 ,000 . Birthday Dinner. At the home uf J. J. Starette, in the South Western part of Davie County known as Kappa, there was a joyful oc casion Saturday May 19th, when Mr. Starrette and his wife celebrated their birthdays he being 68 years old the- 18th, and his wife 66 on the 20th. There rel atives, neighbors and friends joined with them in making it a very pleasant and enjoyable occasion. There were not only friends from Davie, but Rowan and Ire dell counties. At eleven o’clock, Rev V. R. Stickley, the pastor preached a sermon and administred the Holy Communion - to Mrs. Starrette, who is an invalid and had not been able to attend church for four years. Her family and a good number of Iter neighbors and friends joined with her in this solemn and sacred service. After this service a table 72 feet long 4 feet wide was spread in front of the bouse with edibles to satisfy the appetite, from the real substatial to the/'most delicate superabundance; plenty of. time in par taking of this inviting dinner and after all had heartily eaten there remained a sufficient amount to give all another meal, the number being not less than- 250. About an hour after dinner, the people assembled and all joined in singing ••America.’’ The pastor gave a short talk on the issues of the times, calling attention to great importance of every family to be deeply interested in the raising of provisins, looking to meeting the crisis that was facing this land of ours, and using the dispensing of many of the luxuries of the present time—look with humble trust to the source from whence all great good, and noble blets ngs come. The'rest of the time was spent in convesation and singing, renewing old friendships, and merry times, delighting all and lingering until time (o retura home, and seperating with kind wishes to the family and friends; the pleasure to be with them and pleasent memories to carry with them to their homes. Brother Starrette and wife wish to express their gratitude to their very many friends fcr their manifest interest in making the oc casion such a pleasure and joy to them It was a source of regret that Rev. ',Coble, pastor of Salem Church, and Rev. Harper, could not be present, also the editors of both the County papers. A day of enjoy ment to old and young —one long to be remembered. ONE THERE.

Petrograd, via London.—The indus- trail crisis in Russia is so acute that, according to a recent utterance of the Minister of Finance, M. ShingaroSC. only a miracle can save the country from economic ruin. . The. demands of the workmen were so-enormous, he declared, that it seemed, impossible to teep the industrial wheels going for any great length of time. The Socialist ministers at a recent ministerial council said that the only possibility they saw of settling the difficulty was to bring the war to a close. Neither, the' coalition. Cabinet nor the newly appointed Commission to regulate the difficulties botween capi tal and labor has yet found a way to settle the industrial crisis. The Com mission is composed of the Ministers of Finance, trade and industry and labor, but since there tea wide'diver gence of views between the Minister of Finance and the hew Socialistic Minister of Labor, it seems probable that this Commission will .be confront ed with the same difficulties that-at tended previous efforts at reconcilia.- tion. An investigation of the’ factory con ditions in Petrograd leads to the alarming, but inevitable, conclusion that' unless the Government soon- finds a means of adjusting the present dif ficulties, most of the. industrial enter prises working for National defense will be compelled to close within a few months. An investigation shows that virtually the same difficulties prevail in all the big factories in Petrograd and apparently authenticated reports from the Moscow, Donets and Urai dis tricts indicate general disorganization. In many of the factories, the. demands by the wwOrkmen for increased wages are actually greater than the entire profits of the factories under the best conditions of production.

Washington—The Administration’!; food survey bill, first of the food con trol measures, was passed by the House without a record vote.

' The Agriculture Department expects to present a fairly accurate estimate of food resources within three weeks after the bill is signed by the Presi-. dent, Secretary Houston said. As soon as the measure' becomes a law, the Department will start its 17,000 employes and the‘150,000 voluntary crop reporters to work on the investi gation. The preliminary report to be made within the three weeks will he supplemented with monthly reports and probably by a further complete report within six months if necessary.

G; E MORE THAN FIVE ' THOUSAND NEEDED TO FILL UP GUARD RANKS. DISPATCHES' FROM RALEIGH Doings and Happenings That Mark the Progress of North Carolina Peo ple, Gathered Around the State Capital. Raleigh. Governor Bickett’s proclamation calling for more than five thousand volunteers to fill the ranks of the Na tional Guard follows: The War Department, has ordered the North Carolina National Guard to be recruited to full war strength. To meet, this requirement the follow ing recruits are necessary: First Regiment,.’........................1,000 Second Regiment ........... . .1,100 Third Regiment ..............1,200 Othw1 organizations ........ . .. .1,800' These .other organizations include the Coast Artillery, Gavalary, Engi neers, and Sanitary Troops. It is seen that over 5,000 volunteers are needed to bring the National Guard up to fill war strength. It is apparent, therefore, that any one .who may have opposed the selective draft because he did not like the thought of being con scripted is-now given a chance to vol unteer for militry service. . Then, too, there sra several distinct advantages in enlisting In the National Guard: ■ V I. While those who enlist in the National Guard will. be required to register they will be exempt from draft. : • 2. He Who enlists has the privilege _ of selecting the command and branch " of service he'desired to enter. , ‘ 3. He will serve under officers he knows and' among his own friends and acquaintances. 4. A person volunteering for ser vice in the National Guard will be re quired bo enlist only for the duration of Gie war. 5. A permanent roll of those who enlist will be preserved and the names will be published dally in the news papers. 6. The man who volunteers for ser vice In the National Guard has a bet ter chance for promotion than he who is taken into the army under the selective draft. Conatdering tihede advantages to gether with the appeal the country makes for men, I confidently expect the patriotic young manhood of North Carolina to quickly fill up the ranks of the NaUonal Guard. History does not show where a nation has ever made a worthier appeal than our coun try makes to its sons today. This Re public has unsheathed its sword in de fense of humanity and to prove that Republics have a right to live, Amer ica has planted the emblem of liberty and democracy in the pathway of the tyrant and the autocrat. And she now calls upon her sons to keep it there. We like to sing of the “sweet land of liberty” and “the home of the brave and the free.” But the time has come when it is not enough to sing only. We must back the sentiment with act ion in order that that which gave birth to the sentiment shall not perish from the earth. America has lifted her arm in de fense of Christian civilization and she now' calls upon her sons to save that civilization. This is no ordinary war. It is a war of ideals. For in it a civ ilization that exalts love and service is; pitted against civilization that ex alts; power and selfishness. A civiliza tion in which the strong must serve the weak is at war with a civilization in which the weak must serve the strong. It is, in short, a war to de termine whether the ideals of Jesus or the ideals of Thor ‘shall dominate the world. We like, to pray, “Thy king dom coine,” . But the time has come when it is not enough to pray only. Now, therefore, I, Thomas. Walter Blckett, Governor of North Carolina, do hereby call upon and urge unmar ried mein who are fit for military ser vice to enlist in the organizations lo cated In the community.In which they reside. And the people of all com munities in which the various com panies are located are earnestly urged bo take an active interest in bringing up the organization to their full war strength. Np citizen , of the State should be content until this is done. Never, yet has the nation, called and. failed to receive prompt answer from, the peo ple of North Carolina. Let us not forget that Jn every crisis in the Re public’s life, from Kings Mountain to the present momentous hour, the peo ple of this . Commonwealth have r» sponded to their country’s call with a spirit of selfsacrifice and devotion to. duty worthy of the best traditions'of the Anglo-Saxon race and with a cour age that has challenged the admira tion of mankind In every land where people love liberty and men are not afraid to die for a principle. North Carolina .will not fail—must not fail—in this hour. I know that our people want the' State to do its full share of the work that must be done by the States of this Union, not only to preserve free government on this'continent, but in order that the whole world may be “made safe for democracy.” Therefore, I appeal with confidence to the patriotic manhood of the State. And I expect % response worthy of the sons of the fathers who laid down their lives in order that we might be free. Done at our City of Raleigh, this the 21st day of May, in the year of our Lord one thousand nine hundred and seventeen, and in the one hundred and forty-first year of our' American Inde pendence. .T- W- BICKETT, Governor.’ By the Governor.

How to conserve the fish supply is one of the subjects receiving careful attention by the British board of i r a,je in' conjunction with the board of agri culture. One of the methods which will probably be adopted is the drying or salting of a much larger proportion of the daily catch than at present, so as-to prevent waste by the fish getting out of condition. Salted haddock are already being placed on the market in considerable quantities as an experi ment. They sell at about 12 cents a pound retail, and. are very palatable One method of preparing is to boil the fish, throw away the water, and boil up again, but if it is washed to get rid of practically all the salt the haddock should also be soaked in cold water for 24 hours before cooking.

By Charles" Bock With Illustrations from Photographs of Scenes in the Play (Copyrisht. 1913. byW. J. Wau & Co.) SYNOPSIS. On Misery creek, at the foot of a rock from which he has fallen, Sally Miller goes for assistance Samson South and Sally, taking Lescott to Samson’s home, are met by Spicer South, head of the family, who tells them that Jesse Purvy lias been shot and that Samson Is suspected of the crime. Samson denies it.' The shooting of Jesse Purvy breaks the truce in the Hollman-South feud. Does anybody live on Misery that —er—that you m ight suspect?” The Hollmans laughed. " ™ 8 creek is settled with Souths thicker’n hops.” The Lexington m an looked up. He knew what the name of South m eant to a HoUman. “r® ^here any special South, who m ight have a particular grudge?” The Souths don't need no partl’lar grudge, but thar’s young Samson South. He’s a wildcat.” “He lives this way?” These dogs air a-makin’ a bee-line fer his house.” Jim Hollman waB speaking. Then he add.ed: “I’ve done been told that Samson denies doin’ the shootin’, an’ claims he kin prove an alibi.” The Lexington man lighted his pipe, and poured a drink of red whieky into a flask cup. “He’d be apt to say that,” he com- finds George Lescott. a landscape paint- ^ iu d fc e . ^ eSe h^veJ1 * anyer, unconscious, and after reviving him.

Are we still going toward Samson South’s house?” he inquired.' W e’re about a quarter from hit now, an’ we hain’t never varied from the straight road.” Will they be apt to give us trouble?” Jim Hollman smiled. “I hain’t never heered of no South subm ittin’ ter arrest by a Hollman.” The trailers examined their fire arms, and loosened their holster-flaps. The dogs went forward at a trot. CHAPTER IV—Continued. He sauntered down the road, but, when he had passed out of vision, he turned sharply into the woods, ’ and began climbing. His steps carried him to the rift in the ridge where the white oak stood 6entinel over the watch tower of rock. As he came over the edge from one side his bare feet mak ing no sound, he saw Sally sitting there, with her hands resting on the moss and • her eyes deeply troubled She was gazing fixedly ahead and her lips were trembling. At once Sam son’s face grew black. Soma one had been making Sally unhappy. Then he saw beyond her a standing figure, which the tree trunk had hitherto con cealed. It was the looee-knitted figure of young Tam arack Spicer. “In course,” Spicer was saying, “we don’t ’low Samson shot Jesse Purvy, but them Hollmans '11 ’spicion him, an' I heered just now thet them dawgs was trackin’ straight Hp byar from the mouth of Misery. They’ll git hyar against sundown.” Samson leaped violently forward. With one hand he roughly seized hie cousin's shoulder and wheeled him about. “Shet up!” he commanded. “W hat d a fool stuff hev ye been tellin’ Sally?” For an instant the two clansmen stood fronting each other. Samson’s face was set and wrathful. Tam arack's was surly and snarling. “Hain’t I got a license ter tell Sally the news?” he demanded. “Nobody hain’t got no license,”, re torted the younger m an in the quiet of cold anger, “ter tell Sally nothin’ thet’ll fret her.” "She air bound ter know hit all pretty soon. Them dawgs—” "Didn’t I tell ye ter shet up?” Sam son clenched his fists, and took a step forward. “Ef ye opens yore mouth again, I’m a-goin’ ter smash h it Now, git!” s . Tamarack Spicer’s face blackened, and his teeth showed. His right hand swept to his left arm-pit. Outwardly he seemed weaponless, but Samson knew that concealed beneath the hickory shirt was a holster, worn mountain fashion. “W hat air ye a-reachin’ atter, Tam’rack?” he inquired, his lips twist ing in amusement. “Thet’s my business." "Well, git hit out—or git out yeself, afore I throws ye offen the clift.” Sally showed no symptoms of alarm. Her confidence in her hero was abso lute. The boy lifted his hand, and pointed off down the path. Slowly and with incoherent m uttering, Spicer took himself away. Then only did Sally rise. She came over, and laid a hand on Samson’s shoulder. In her blue eyes, the tears were welling. “Samson,” she whispered, “ef they’re atter ye, come ter my house. I kin hide ye out W hy didn’t ye tell me Jesse Jurvey’d done been shot?” “Hit tain’t nothin’ ter fret about, Sally," he assured her. He spoke awkwardly, for he had been trained to regard emotion as unmanly. "Thar hain’t no danger.” ■ She gazed searehingly Into his eyes, and then, with a short sob, threw her arms around him, and buried her face on his shoulder. “Ef anything happens ter ye, Sam son,” she said, brokenly, “hit’ll Jest kill me. I couldn’t live withouten ye, Samson. I Jest couldn't do hit!" The boy took her in his arms, and pressed her close. His eyes were gaz ing off over her bent head, and his Ups twitched. He drew his features into a bcowI, because that was the only ex pression with which he could safe guard his feelings. His voice was husky. “I reckon, Sally,” he said, “I couldn’t live withouten you, neither." ’ The party of men who had started at morning from Jesse Purdy’s store had spent a hard day. The roads fol lowed creek-beds, crossing and * re- crossing waterways In a fashion that gave the bloodhounds a hundred baf fling difficulties. Often, their noses lost the trail, which had a t first been bo surely taken. Often, 'they circled and whined, and halted In perplexity, but each time they came to a point 'where, at the end, one of them again raised his muzzle skyward, and gave ■voice. Toward evening, they were working up Misery along a course less broken. The party halted for a moment’s rest, and, as the bottle was passed, the man from Lexington, who had brought the dogs and stayed to conduct the chase, Snt^question: ' ,*What do you call this creek?” "Hit’s Misery.” . CHAPTER V. From tim e to tim e that day, neigh bors had ridden up to Spicer South's stile, and drawn rein for-gossip. These men brought bulletins as to the prog ress of the hounds, and near 6undown, as a postscript to their information, a volley of gunshot signals sounded from a m ountain top. No word was spoken, but in common accord the kinsmen rose from their chairs; and drifted to ward their leaning rifles. !‘They’re a-comin’ hyar,” said the head of the house, curtly. “Sam6on ought ter be home. Whsir’s Tam’rack?” No one had noticed his absence un til that moment, nor was he to be found.. A few m inutes later, Samson’s figure swung into sight, and his uncle met him at the fence. “Samson, I’ve done asked ye all the questions I’m a-goin’ ter ask ye,” he said, “but them dawgs is makin’ fer this house. They’ve jest been sighted a mile below.” Samson nodded.. “Now”—Spicer South’s face hard ened—“I owns down thar ter the road. No m an kin cross that fence withouten I choose ter give him . leave. E f ye wants ter go indoors an’ stay thar, ye kin do hit—an’ no dawg ner no man hain’t a-goin’ ter ask ye no questions. But, ef ye sees fit ter face hit out, I’d love ter prove ter these hyar m en thet us Souths don’t break our word. W e done agreed ter this truce. I’d like ter invite ’em in, aq’ let them damn dawgs sniff round the feet of every man in my house—ah’ then, when they’re plumb teetotally damn satisfied, I’d like ter tell ’em all ter go ter hell. Thet’s the way I feels, but I’m a-goin’ ter do jest what ye says.” Lescott did ^pot overhear the con versation in full, but he saw the old man’s face work with suppressed pas sion, and he caught Samson’s louder reply. “W hen them folks gets hyar, Uncle Spicer, I’m a-goin’ ter be a-settin’ “They Have Followed Here.” Their Noses right out thar in fro n t I’m plumb willin’ ter Invite ’em in.” Then, the two men turned toward the house. 1 Already the other clansmen had dis appeared noiselessly through the door or around the angles of the walls. Fifteen minutes later, Lescott, stand ing’ at the fence, saw a strange caval cade round the bend of the road. Sev eral travel-stained men were leading mules, and holding two tawny and im patient dogs in leash. In their num ber, the artist recognized his host of two nights ago. They halted at a distance, and In their faces the artist read dismay, for, while the dogs were yelping confident ly and tugging at their cords, young Samson South—who should, by their prejudiced convictions, be hiding out in some secret stronghold—sat at the top step of the stile, smoking his pipe, and regarded them with a lack-luster absence of interest. Such a calm re ception was uncanny. After a whis pered conference, the Lexington man cam e'forward alone. Old Spicer South had been looking on from the door, and was now strolling out to m eet the envoy, unarmed. . And the envoy, as he. Came, held his hands unnecessarily far away from his sides, and walked with an ostentatious show of peace. “Evenin’, stranger,” hailed the old man. “Come right in.” "Mr. South,” began the dog-owner, with some embarrassment, “I have been employed to furnish. a pair of bloodhounds to the family of Jesse Purvy, who has been shot.” “I .heerd tell thet Purvy was shot,” said the head of the Souths, in an af fable tone, which betrayed no deeper note of interest than neighborhood goesip might have elicited. “I., have no personal interest in the m atter,” went on the stranger, hastily, as one bent on making his attitude clear, “except to supply the dogs and manage them. I do not in any way di rect their course; I merely follow.” “Te can’t hardly fo’ce a dawg.” Old Spicer sagely nodded his head as he made the remark. “A dawg jest natch- er’ly follers his own nose.” “Exactly—and they have followed their noses here.” The Lexington man found the em barrassm ent of his posi tion growing as the colloquy proceed ed. “I want to ask you whether, if these dogs want to cross your fence, I have your permission to let them?” The m aster of the ,house crossed the stile, the low sun shining on his shock of gray hair, and stood before the man- hunter. He spoke so that his voice carried to the waiting group In the road. “Ye’re plumb welcome ter turn them dawgs loose, an’ let ’em ramble, stranger. Nobody hain’t a-goin’ ter hurt, ’em, I sees some fellers out thar with ye thet m ustn’t cross my fence. Ef they does”—the voice rang men acingly—“hit’ll - mean . that they’re a-bustin’ the truce—an’ they won’t never go out ag’in. But you air safe in hyar., I gives yer my hand on thet. Ye’re welcome, an’ yore dawgs is-wel come. I hasn't got nothin’ ’gainst dawgs thet comes on four legs, but I shore bars the two-legged kind.” There was a m urmur of astonish m ent from the road. Disregarding it, Spicer South turned his face toward the house. “You boys kin come out,” he stout er, “an’ leave yore guns inside.” ' The leashes were slipped from the dogs. They leaped forward, and made directly for Samson, who eat as un- moving as a lifeless image on the top step of the stile. There was a half-mo- merit of terrific suspense, then the beasts clambered by the seated figure, passing on each side and circled aim lessly about the yard—their quest un ended. They sniffed indifferently about the trouser legs of the men who saun tered indolently but of the door. They trotted into the house and out again, and mingled with the mongrel home pack that snarled and growled hos tility fo r, this invasion. , Then, they came once more to the'stile. As they climbed out, Samson South reached up and stroked a tawny head, and the bloodhound paused a moment to wag its tail in friendship, before, it jumped down to the road, and trotted gingerly onward.' “I’m obliged to you, sir,” said the man from the Bluegrass, with a voice of immense relief. The moment 'of suspense seemed past, and, in the relief of the averted clash, the m aster of hounds forgot that his: dogs stood branded as false trailers. But when he rejoined the group in the road he found himself looking into surly visages, and the features of Jim Hollman in particular were black in their scowl of smolder ing wrath,. “Why didn’t ye ax him,” growled the kinsman of the man who had been shot, “whar the other feller’s at?” “W hat other fellow?" echoed the Lexington man. Jim Hollman’s voice rose trucu lently, and his words drifted, as he m eant them to, across to the ears of the clansmen who stood in ' the yard of Spicer South. “Them dawgs of your’n come up Misery a-hellin’. They hain’t never turned aside, an’ onless they’re plumb ornery, no-’count curs thet don’t know their business, they come "for some reason. They seemed mighty inter; ested in gittin’ hyar. Ax them fellers in thar who’s been hyar thet hairi’t hyar now? Who is ther feller thet got out afore we come hyar?” At this veiled charge of deceit the faces of the Souths again blackened and the' men near the door of the house drifted in to drift presently out again, swinging discarded W inches ters at their sides. It seemed that, after all, the incident was -not closed. The man from Lexington, finding him self face to face with a new. difficulty, turned and. argued In a low voice with the Hollman . leader. But Jim Holl man, whose eyes were fixed on Sam son, refused to talk In a modulated tone, and he shouted his reply: "I hain’t got nothin’ ter whisper about,” he proclaimed. “Go ax ’em who hit w ar thet got away from hyar.” Old Spicer South stood leaning on his fence and his rugged countenance stiffened. He started to speak, but Samson rose from the stile and said, in a composed voice:. ' "Let me talk to this feller, Unc’ Spicer.” . The old man nodded and Samson beckoned to the owner of the dogs. “We hain’t got nothin’ ter say ter them fellers with ye,” he announced, briefly. “We hain’t axin’ ’em no ques tions, an’ we hain’t answerin’ none. Ye done come hyar with dawgs an’ we hain’t stopped ye. W e’ve done an swered all the questions them dawgs hes axed. W e done treated you an’ yore houn’s plumh friendly. Es fer them other men, we hain’t got nothin’ ter say to ’em. They done come hyar because they hoped they could git me in trouble. They done failed. Thet road belongs ter the county. They got a license ter travel hit, but this strip,, right hyar hain’t the' healthiest section ; they kin find. I reckon ye’d better: advise ’em ter move on.” The Lexington man went back. For a minute or two Jim Hollman sat scowling down In indecision from his saddle. Then he admitted to himself that he had done all he could do with out becoming the aggressor. For the moment he was beaten. He looked up and from the road one of the hounds raised its voice and gave cry. That baying afforded an excuse for leaving and Jim Hollman seized it. - “Go. on,” he growled. “Let’s see what them d— -d curs hes ter Bay now.” Mounting, they kicked their mules into a Jog, From the men inside the fence came no note of derision, no hint of triumph. They stood looking out with expressionless, masklike faces until their enemies had passed out of sight around the shoulder of the mountain. The Souths had met and fronted an accusation made after the enemy’s own choice and method. A jury of two hounds had acquitted them. It was not only because the dogs had refused to recognize in Sam son a suspicious character that the enemy rode on grudgingly convinced, but, also, • because the family, which ’ Jim Hollman. had invariably m et ,hostility with hos tility, had so willingly courted the acid test , of guilt or innocence. Days passed uneventfully after that. The kinsmen dispersed to their scat tered coves and cabins. Now and again cam e,a rum or that Jesse Purvy was dying, b u t' always hard on its heels came another to the effect that the obdurate' fighter had rallied, though the doctors held out small en couragement of recovery. One day Lescott, whose bandaged arm gave him much pain, but who was able to get about, was strolling not far from the house with Samson. They were following a narrow trail along the mountain side, and, at a sound no louder than the falling of a walnut, the boy baited and laid a silencing hand on the painter’s shoulder. Then followed an unspoken command in his companion’s eyes. Leecott sank down behind a rock, cloaked with glistening rhododendron leafage, where Samson had already crouched and become im movable and noiseless. They had been there only a short tim e when they saw another figure slipping qui etly from tree to tree below them. For a time the mountain boy watched the figure and the painter saw his lips draw in a straight line and his eyes narrow with a glint of tense hate. Yet, a moment later, with a nod to follow,, the boy unexpectedly rose into view and his features were absolutely expressionless. “Mornin’, Jim,” he called. The slinking stranger whirled with a start and an instinctive motion as though to bring his rifle to his shoul der. But, seeing Samson’s peaceable manner; he smiled and his own de meanor became friendly. “Momin’, Samson.” “Kinder stranger in this \country, hain’t ye, Jim ?” drawled the boy who lived there, and the question brought a sullen flush to the other’s cheek bones. , “Jest a-passln’ through,” he vouch safed. “I reckon ye’d find the wagon road more handy,” suggested Samson. “Some folks might ’epicion ye fer stealin’ ’long through the timber.” The skulking traveler decided to lie plausibly. He laughed mendaciously. “That’s the reason, Samson. I was kinder skeered ter go through this country In the open.” Samson m et his eye steadily and said slowly: “I reckon, Jim, hit mought be half es risky fer ye ter walk upstandin*' along Mieery es ter go a-crouchin’. Ye thinks ye’ve been a-shadderin’ me. I knows jest whar ye’ve been all the time. Ye lies when ye talks ’bout passin’ through. Ye’ve done been spy- in’ hyar, ever since Jesse Purvy got shot, an’ all thet tim e ye’ve done been w atched' yerself. I reckon hit’ll be healthier fer ye ter do yore spyin’ from t’other side of the ridge. I reckon yer allowin’ ter git me ef Purvy dies, but we’re watchin’ ye.” Jim A sbeny’s face darkened, but he eaid nothing. There was nothing to say. H e 'was discovered in the ene my’s ’country and m ust accept the enerny'sterm s. . “This hyar time I lets ye go back,” said Samsotf, “fer the reason thet I’m tryin’ like all h—I ter keep this truce. But ye must stay on . yore side or else ride the roads open. How is Purvy terday?” “He’s mighty porely,” replied the other, in a sullen voice. “All right Thet’s another reason why hit hain’t healthy fer ye over hyar.” “The spy turned and made his way over the mountain. “D n him !” m uttered Samson, his face twitching, as the other was lost In the undergrowth. “Some day I’m a-goin’ ter git him.” Tamarack Spicer did not at once reappear, and when one of the Souths met another in the road the customary dialogue would be: “Heered anything of Tamarack?" . . . "No, hev you?” "No, nary a word.” As Lescott wandered through the hills, his unhurt right hand began cry ing out for action and a brush to nurse. As he watched, day after day, • the unveiling of the monumental bille and the. transitions from hazy, wraith like whispers of hues to strong, flaring riot of color, this fret of restlessness became actual pain. He was wasting wonderful, opportunity and the crea tive instinct in him was clamoring. One morning, when he came out just N ER V O U SN ESS M ID B l I I B Sym ptom s of M ore Serious Sickness.

Fpr answer the artist; with -his unhurt hand, impa tiently tapped his baridaged wrist. “Ye still got yore, right hand, hain’t ye?” demanded the boy. The other laughed. It was a typical'quCstion. So long as one had the trigger finger left one should not admit disqualification. "You see, Samson,” he explained, "this isn’t precisely like handling a gun. One m ust hold the palette; mix the colors; wipe the brushes and do half a dozen equally necessary , things. It requires at least two perfectly good hands. Many people don’t find two enough.” “But hit only takes one ter do the paintin’, don’t hit?” ’ “Yes.” "W ell”—the boy spoke diffidently but with enthusiasm—“between the tw o-of us we’ve got three hands. I reckon ye kin Iarn me how ter do them other things fer ye.” Lescott’s surprise showed in his face and the lad swept eagerly on. “Mebby hit hain’t none of my busi ness’, but, all day yestiddy an’ the day befo’, I was studyin’ ’bout this here thing, an’ I hustled up an’ got thet com weeded an’ now I’m through. Ef I kin help ye out I thought meb by—” He paused and locked appeal ingly at the artist. Lescott whistled and then his face lighted into contentment. “Today, Samson," he announced, “Lescott, South and Company get busy.” It was the first time he had seen SamsOn smile, and, although the ex pression was one of sheer delight, in herent somberness loaned it a touch of the. wistful. When, an hour later, the two set out, the mountain boy carried the par aphernalia and the old man standing at the door watched them off with a half-quizzical, half-disapproving glance. As the boy, with remarkable apti tude, learned how to adjust the easel and arrange the paraphernalia, Lescott sat drinking in through thirsty eyes the stretch of landscape Ue had deter mined-to paint. Then, while he painted* the boy held the palette, his eyes riveted on the canvas,' which was growing from a blank to. a m irror of vistas—and the boy’s pupils became deeply hungry. The day of painting was followed by others like it. The disabling of Lescott’s left hand made the constant companionship of the boy a m atter that needed no explanation or apology, though not a m atter of approval to his uncle. ': Another week had passed without the reappearance of Tamarack Spicer. One afternoon Lescott and Samson were alone on a cliff-protected shelf, and the painter had just blocked in with umber and neutral tint the erode sketch of his next picture.(TO BE CONTINUED.)

DISEASE AFFECTING THE PEACH TREE EffMtt of Attack May Last Over Several Years and Reiiders More Subieot to Attacks ot other Diseases and to Win- terkilling—Cause and Control. Not Serious.: “You seemed to be pretty sick yes terday." “Yes." “What did the doctor say?" • “Well, I thought I was sick enough for a trip to California, but ali he pre scribed was a fishing trip.” An old bachelor says that a woman’s tongue is an organ without stops. Straw hats can be easily cleaned with dampened cornmeaL (Br LEONARD R. HARTILT j, InstructorIn Fruit Growing, New fo rk StateSchool of Agriculture on Long Island, Farmlngdale, N. Y.)Peach leaf curl is more or less com mon in nearly all the peach growing regions of the world. In many regions It Is probably the most destructive dis ease affecting the peach. Heavy losses occasioned by the disease on the Atlan tic seaboard are infrequent, yet occa sionally1 the damage 'is severe. The losses from leaf curl cannot be read ily estimated, for the injury to the fruit is usually indirect, through the loss of leaves and the generally im paired vitality of the trees. The ef fects of an attack may last over sev eral years, and undoubtedly renders the tree more subject to the attacks of other diseases and to winterkilling. The effects on the tree seem to depend not only on the severity of the at tack, but also on the vigor of the tree, Its location and the character of the- succeeding winter. Description. Usually the disease is seen only, on the leaves and young branches, but the flowers and. young fruit are like-- ■wise subject to attack. In the latter case the disease. often escapes atten-: tion since deformations are but slight and the parts affected very promptly drop from the tree. The disease when on the leaves may be detected as soon as the leaf btids have become slightly unfolded. The coloring of the young leaves Is heightened and* as they unfold, a curling and arching of the blades be comes prominent.. As^the disease pro gresses the abnormally thickened, dis torted leaves, from which the disease takes Its name, are its chief character istics and cannot well be mistaken. The stimulation induced by fungus within the cells of the leaves, causes the cells to develop thickened walls and in crease In size and numbers. The tis sues of the mid rib do not increase to any extent, with - the result that the abnormal growth of the tissues on either side of the midrib causes the leaves to become puckered and curled. Since the greatest growth takes place In the tissues toward the upper side, there is a tendency for the upper sur face of an infected leaf to be convex. Infected foliage usually drops and so the disease may result In complete de foliation of the tree. If such is the case the tree sets little or no fruit. However, the tree usually leafs out again, and by midsummer little sign of the disease may be found. Cause. Peach-Ieaf curl is caused by a para sitic .fungus known as Bxoascus' De formans. The mycelium of the fun gus ..makes, its way among the tissues and absorbs the juices needed for the nutrition , of the tree. It is spread from tree to tree by means of spores. These form: under the surface- of in fected leaves, finally breaking through and imparting to the surface a frosted appearance. The spores are given off and presumably are carried over the winter on the surfaces of twigs and bud scales.1 Theyproduce new infections as soon as the leaf buds open In the spring. .

This nest is devised especially for use in re gions of low humidity where moisture in; some form must be supplied In hatching eggs. Pbr this reason It men, and particularly to those hatching by the natural method. The nest consists of a galvanized tub-shaped receptacle about 18 inches in diameter and 12 inches deep. This tub is filled with water to a depth of three or four inches, and above the water, resting, on ‘projections on the side of ’the'tub is a 'circular concave piece' of galvanized material. TUs piece covers the entire top of the tab, and In Its center are two silts, through which wicks are drawn and leading up from the water below. ; On tofr of this concave pan the nest ing 'material and setting - eggs are placed. As the incubation period ad vances, the amount of moisture can be increased or decreased by raising or lowering the wlcks. . BestTesults seem to be obtained when a moderately con stant supply is furnished throughout the period. • ••••••• - COST ACCOUNTING IS OF BIG IMPORTANCE•: '?•:». :r %ty J *i w -.i .* Several Types of Farming Wisre Included in Study Made by ‘Agricultural College^ ; Complete recor4s 'were fcppt on 13 New York state farms In 1012 and on 31 fanus in 1913, co-operation with owner? being secured by the college of agriculture ,which furnished the co-op erators with the results of the accounting.

Horse labor varied, from 13 cents to 18 cents per hour, the lower figures being found on the fa,rms doing the largest amount of business. Purebred cattle showed a higher cost of feed, for man labor, and for "horse labor, but they returned more to the owners; than did grade cattle ■ Schoolboys Make Device Which Will Catch Half a Million Disease ’ Spreaders ln Season.- Fly traps that will catch 500,000, or 50 quarts of flies in a season will be built this spring by some of the boys in the Grand avenue manual train ing center. Irving P. Lorentz, the in structor, is making a model, and will soon' have some of the boys construct ing the device as a .side; line, accord ing to the Milwaukee Journal. A square framework is made of nar row strips of wood, and within the fraine is placed a cone of wire net ting. In the model of Mr. Lorentz an ordinary glass jar is used in place of the: wooden frame. A banana peei or similar refuse Is placed as a bait at the'bottom of the trap. When the trap is crowded with flies, they can be killed by dipping the fllled trap into boiling water. “The idea Is-excellent,” Mr. Lorentz said. “The construction is simple, so that seventh or eighth grade boys should easily be able to make It. At the same time It-Is inexpensive, the cost of materials probably not exceed ing 50 cents. If all the centers encour aged the making of these traps, it would prove a most effective weapon against the fly. Such a trap would kill off the flies before they even got Into the homes.” FARMERS ARE WORKING HARDER And uslng„ttelr feet more than ever, before.

A cuirass, or breastplate, of mov able plates of steel would protect the chest and back, and hinged steel elbow pieces and knee pieces would cover the joints. A face mask and goggles would complete the suit. Tlie armor would be light, enough to afford perfect free dom of action.

Wants To Take Off Trains. The Southern Railway is asking the Corporation Commission to al low them to take off 27 trains, a- mong them being Nos. 27 and 28, the~7:19 a. m. going south and the 2:18 p. m. train going north. These trains would be a hardship on the traveling public through this section, and would cause us to get our mail much later.

For example: A cotton crop of one bale per acre will remove from the land in seed, leaves, stalks and bolls, about 77 pounds of nitro gen 54 pounds of potash and 28 pounds of phos- 40 bushel crop J. N. HARPER Agronomist phoric acid. A - ------- of corn will remove in the grain, stalk and fodder about 64 pounds of nitro' gen, 54 pounds of potash and 34 pounds of phosphoric acid. A 40 bushel crop of oats will remove in the grain and straw about 35 pounds of nitrogen, 41 pounds of potash and 16 pounds of phosphoric acid. If, however, stalks, bolls, straw, etc., are plowed under, some of the plant food Will be returned to the soil. Cotton Fertilizer Problem With the present price ot cotton and ' other farm products, it will pay the farmer to give more attention this Spring to the problems of soil building and to the intelligent use of fer tilizers than ever before. Some of the ■ best farmers of the South have adopted the plan of returning to the soil in fertilizers, the money received from all or part of their cottonseed. This is a good plan and should be thore generally adopted. ^Enough Plant Foodfor BestYieIds Vlt takes from 300 pounds to 400 pounds of fertilizer to make a.good weed in cotton, or a good stalk in corn, and unless amounts above these are used, full returns cannot be ex pected because large amounts must be applied to produce the fruit and the grain. •‘‘.The amount of fertilizer that can be.-used profitably will vary with the different soil types, seasons and with the different crops grown. The most important factor, however, governing the amount of fertilizer that can be used with profit is the price of the article produced. At the present price of cotton, it will pay to use on most of tlie soil types of the South larger amounts of fertilizer than heretofore. To Meet Boll Weevil Situation Wheu grown under boll weevil con* ditidns, cotton should be liberally fer tilized and this fertilizer should contain a large percentage of phosphoric acid, which ingredient hastens its maturity.- A fertilizer containing an am ple supply of ammonia should also be used to start the plant off quickly in Its. growth. The farmer must ever bear in mind that the best way he cah fight the boll weevil is to force his cotton to a quick growth and to an early maturity. Many farmers in the boll weevil district, are finding that peanuts and soy beans are splendid substitutes foe cotton. • Unless these crops are well fertilized, however, with the fertilizer carrying high percentage of phosphate, good yields cannot be expected. How to Tell What Is Necessary The farmer can oftentimes deter mine the element most needed in his fertilizer by noting the manner of growth of cotton on his different soil types. When the growth is slow and the plants have a yellow, unhealthy look, nitrogen (or ammonia) should be applied in rather large amounts. If, however, the plants look vigorous, but are not fruiting veil, phosphoric acid should be used liberally. Generally speaking, for poor soils, the most important element of a fertilizer is nitrogen, and the next most import ant is phosphorous. Therefore, for poor soils we would recommend under present war conditions, which makes potash scarce, a fertilizer for cotton and corn analyzing about 9 per cent available phosphoric acid and 3 pei cent ammonia and 2 per cent potash. For peanuts 12 per cent phosphoric acid, 2 per cent ammonia and 2 per cent potash. Por fertile soils we would recommend for cotton and corn, a fer tilizer analyzing 12 per cent available phosphoric acid, 2 per cent ammonia and 2 per cent potash, and for peanuts, a fertilizer analyzing 12 per cent phosphoric acid, I 1-2 per cent ammonia and 2 per cent potash. For the sandy' loam soils of the coastal plain, potash is the most essential and for to bacco and truck crops must be applied in liberal amounts. ' The reason that nitrogen or ammonia is so necessary an element for practically all soils is because the nitrates are soluble in water, and are, there fore, constantly leaching out of the land. The farmers should try to store up as much nitrogen in the soil as possible by growing such crops as beans, peas, clover, vetches, etc., which plants add nitrogen to the soil from the atmosphere. Practically all soils of the South aTe well adapted to the growing of these legumes «3 Oill ip rfi iti S i SEE O R I N O C O S U P P L Y C O WAREHOUSE CORNER 2ND AND MAIN STS.MLL 1036 N. CHESTNUT ST. If, however, crops are grown in ro tation with legumes, it will still be necessary to use commercial forms of nitrogen to obtain the best results. While nitrogen is the main element of a fertilizer, on poor land phosphoric acid is the most essential and in prac tically all of the tests that have been made in the South, better results have been obtained with soluble phosphoric acid than with finely ground phosphate rocks or floats.

Soils are no longer spoken of as being rich simply because chemical analysis shows that they contain abund a n c e of plant food. Much of J. N. HARPER* this plant food Agronomist may be locked up so that plants can not get at it. To be available plant food nrast be in soluble form; that is, it must dissolve in the soil water and change into just the form that the plant can use for Its growth,” says Professor Harper.“In fact,” he continues, “a chemical analysis may show that a soil has lit tle total food content, but that little may often have plant food in a more available form than the richer soil, and, as a consequence, will produce greater yields. . “Most of the soils of the South have been formed from granite rocks which jjgye decayed or crumbled into panicles. Soils derived from granites contain considerable sand. Such soils axe-found very extensively .In the* region', east of the Mississippi river.“Can these sandy loam soils of the South be made to ,produce abundant crops? • “The answer is ‘Yes.’’ Proof is provided from the experience of thousands of farmers. They won through proper farm management and fertili zation. Many farmers of the South are today getting a bale of cotton to the acre where they once got only one- third of a bale. They are producing from 50 to 75 bushels of corn on the same land which a few years ago pro duced only 15 to 20 bushels. I “What is the secret of their sue-Aee ? “How has he done it?” was asked. “It has been the practice of this farmer to put on his land the amount of fertilizer that he could purchase with the proceeds of the sale of his cotton seed from this same land. Of course, this farmer could have grown his cotton more economically had he grown it in rotation with other crops. Loss Through Leaching “Sandy soils naturally erode and leach readily. Phosphoric acid does not leach away but remains in the top twelve inches of soil till it is used by the plant Potash will wash out of sandy soils to a limited extent, but with clay soils it is practically all available. The nitrates, on the other hand, cannot long be retained by the soil. It is soluble in water and there fore leaches out with every heavy rain. W inter Cover Crops Help ‘When a field is left bare through che winter months, sometimes more than 40 pounds ot nitrogen .is leached Li'am an acre. It will take 600 pounds of cottonseed meal per acre to replace this loss of nitrogen. If the farmer plants a cover crop such as rye, crim son clover or bur clover, the greater portion of this nitrogen will be retained'and become available for the succeeding crop.” Take The Nearest Recrating Station. .

He has constantly grown cotton on] this land. Yet in spite of this, he has increased yields. J. C. Pridmore, Agronomist Inquiry—“My cotton produces plenty of weed, but fruits poorly. What fertilizer would correct this? From the knowledge of plant nutrition as it is understood at the present time, it appears that you have a soil "containing a fairly good supply of nitrogen, but deficient in phosphoric acid and potash. The element nitrogen is considered largely with the de velopment of vegetative parts of the plants, such as the stalk, stems and leaves. The phosphoric acid is responsible to a large extent for the development of the fruit, and the hastening ot the maturity of the plant. Potash gives general tone and vigor to the plant, and improves the quality of the fruit. The use of fertilizer will supply these plant food elements, and enable one to overcome these apparent soil deficiencies. A material analyzing from I per cent to 2 per cent nitrogen, XO per. cent.to 12 per-cent phosphoric acid,; and I per cent to 2 per cent potash,; could be used profitably in such cases. • Apply at the rate of three or four hundred pounds per acre before the crop is planted, so that the plant can get full benefit of the material early in its growth, especially under bollWftevll Best paper in Davie, only $1 a year.
