THE PEOPLE’S RIGHTS MAINTADfi UNAWED BY INFLUENCE AND UNBRIBED BY GAIN.” VOLUMN XXII-MOCKSVHXE. NORTH CAROLINA.’ WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON. SEPTEMBER 1, 1928.NUMBER 8 Visiting In The Country. i uitesville Landmark. The Greensboro News painted a beautiful picture of a vacation in the coimlry—of the delight the urban dweller finds at this season in going back to the old home in the rural regions, reveling in the good things to eat and enjoying the restful quiet of the country-side. Then some body butted in and spoiled part of the picture by asking how about the country dwellers who had to furnish the feed for the visitors— feed that is worth big money in the city markets—and do the heavy ivo rk generally of providing for the entertainment of the city visitors. Tliis jolted the News but it insists that it had in mind the old home where pa and me would be glad to see the boys and girls come back for a family reunion. That was the easy way around. Wherever pa and ma are found they will be too willing to sacrifice their comfort and work themselves to the limit to entertain the boys and girls in the old home. Sometimes, too often probably, the boys and girls, show little appreciation, if any ap preciation, at all, of the sacrifices pa and ma make for them, but’if pa and ma notice that they rarely speak of it, even among themselves. But there are many urban dwell ers who have no pa and ma and no old home in the country. Some of these drop in on more distant kin or on friends. Sometimes they are welcome and sometimes they are not. But in either event the visit is a ieavy tax on the country house keeper. H elpisas scarce in'the country as in town, or more' so. The country housekeeper, hasn’t as a rule, the modern conveniences of the city sister and with her enter taining company is often a harder job. The food may be abundant and may not be grudged, but it takes real work to prapare it. Many country housekeepers undergo all that cheerfully while city kin and friends enjoy themselves. Do the latter make honest effort to return the kindness? How many country women who would enjoy a visit in town homes ever have the op portunity. Few compared with the number of town visitors to country homes. Reciprocity in this matter is not only fair and just but-it would be helpful. If the town and country sisters exchange visits they would have a better understanding of each other and each other’s difficulties that would be mutually -helpful. The obvious lesson is that town folks should not make a convenience of their country kin and friends and if they make a convenience of their country kin or friends' and if they take a vacation in, the country unless they pay the tariff at the regular rates, they should “return the favor” by having their country kin and friends take a vacation in town. What Would Jefferson Think? Gov. Cox said in a Jefferson Day Message that the Democratic party need look no futher than Thomas Jefferson for inspiration during the campaign. ThomasJeffersonisthe 'nan who wrote the Declaration of Inlependence declared in favor of "friendship for all nations, entang ling alliances with none, and once .said that he wished the Atlantic Was an ocean of fire the bettef to separ ate the United State.from anyrcoc neCtion with European politics. Un-' fIer the circumstancos what do you suppose ThomasJefferson,' national ist and protectionist, would think of the present day internationalist so- called Democratic party? • “ Iy heart is in the grave with Caesar,” said Mark Authony. and Wm. J, Bryan echoes him. Cheer william! Mark Antony came to bury Cae3ar. and you tan dothe Bame *0r Cox.—Exchange. Morehead And Linney Confer With National Chairman. Republican national headquarters in West Forty-fourth street also showed signs of activity yesterday, when National Chairman Will H. Hays returned from Marion Ohio,' the home of Senator Harding.' Mr. Hays conferred at length with John M. Morehead, Republican Nation al Committeeman for North Caro lina, and F. A. Linney1 the Republi can State Chairman. They brought glowing reports of conditions in North Carolina. Mr. Morehead de clares that the Republicans already- had 24 counties of -the 100 and that in 37 additional ones the de mocratic majorities, were very small with an excellent chance |o carry. “The Republicans are not given to rainbow chasing” said Mr. More- head “but they do believe the party has more than a fighting chance in North Carolina this fall. If a referendum were takien now in that state, with only the democrats vot ing, the Wilson leage of nations would be repudiated.” Among other callers Were Senat or William M. Calderof NewYork. Senator FrelighuysenofNew Jer sey, Governor R. Livingston Beeck- man of Rhode Island, and former Represenative Thomas W. Miller of Delaware^ one of the managers, of the General Wood pre-conventi on campaign, ' “ More and more it is certain” commented Chaim/an Hays, that the voters realize the need of Re publican success. In exact pro portion grows daily the certainty of victory. ’ ’—N. Y. Evening Times Matching Wits And Law. We attempt to legislate for our own class because the other fellow is legislating for his class. The farm er for years has suffered because the other fellow has been working as a unit in.legislating for his class, but we have hot. The progress we now haye made along this line is very meager campared with what it must be if we keep up with the other fel low* Whether right or wrong, to push class against class, as long as others are doing it,- the farmer sees no hope for himself unless-he also does it. But seeing!the need of doing it and actually doing it is a different thing. We can’t expect to make ourselves prosperous by legislation, for prosperity brought to any class in this way does not long endure. We can, however, make our own production worth on the market of our’ nation what it really is worth by looking after our 0 mi-legislative interests. Prosperity that endures is then a thing of act ually producing the wealth and converting it into, the medium of exchange we call .money by the aid of a system that protects our in terests, the same as other classes have systems that protect their in terests.—Exchange.' No one will deny that if the pos tal servicef is to meet the require ments of the country, it isabsolute- Iy necessary that fair compensation be given to the nation’s faithful em ployees in this service.

Press. ^ ■ Gov .Cox aanpuncas th at1 he will not have front ' porch campaign speeches.; He doesn’t want the aver age voter to ’ see his potftial home worth millions.—Exchange : Harding And Coolidge. The country demands a change in the White House. The people are. tired of the mis rule and inefficiency which have brought, about chaos and nnrest. Harding is the man. Harding is for peace at home and abroad, -therefore he fought: that part of the treaty that would involve us in European wars. He voted for the recall of our sold iers from Russia. Hesoughtfor the safety of. our sons and our homes. He has worked for the welfare of our children and supported the child labor law. He has been the constant and de pendable friend of the working man. Hesupported and voted for, the minimum wage scale and civil service retirement law, the rehabilitation in dustrial cripple' law. Harding has fought profiteering and worked to'lower the cost of liv ing. He voted for the.Jaw against corner ing foodstuffs, He voted for the womansuffrage and lent hi3 influence and his effort to bring about state ratifications. Harding' and Coolidge are . both men of the people, Their sympathi es and their public acts prove it. Both were born on ,farms and worked for an education. Roth have won to the' top by clear-cut force, ability and honesty. When Harding goes to the White House hewill call into his councils and his cabinet the ablest among the maiiy able men of the Republican party, the party founded bv Lincoln, which, since the.Civil War. has ever wisely guided the destinies of the country in days of stress, when hu man problems.pressed for solution. Both are intensely human, simple, unpretentious men whose leadership has been won by sheer merit. They have not forgotten the days when thev toiled by the sweat- of their brawn for a living. Both are de voted home men, the kind of men to protect the safety and integrity of the home. Both- are s'trong men, honest ana deeply patriotic. We need a change in the White House. We need strong men there. We need the strong men of the Re publican party to bring order out of chaos Vote for Harding and Coolidge as a safeguard of your homes, your rights and your country. Who Wants to Go Back ToThe Land? : After the Civil War we had the home-stead law, and then came the timber and stone acts. In those days when agriculture was prompted be cause it'w as the. backbone of the nation every, measure intended to aid the farmer and'to make new farmers was pushed to the limit Tjhe greatest concern nowaday appears to be in building good roads for automo- bilists, and in finding 'new ways so that the farmer can live in town’ and enjoy “commuity life.” All this is well enough, but the fact remains that the country is dropping behind in agriculture. There is a lot of en thusiasm for the cash' bonuses' for soldiers but none at all plans' that will furnish substantial assistance to young men, who if aided, might join in a ’*back-to-the land "movement.— Western N C.

Campaign methods may soon have to Undergo some slight changts. For instance, candidates may continue to kiss the babies with good results, but it must not be.forgotten that ladies who have no babies are very apt to own watery-eyed poodles. . After the battle is all over, and the .votes have been counted, there’s going to be copious weeping, lamen tation. wailing and gnashing of teeth and off in a distance in a crowd by themseves will be Christensen, La Follettei Bryan, Debs, Hearst,.

The coal profiteer prosecution has at last reached the real folks in the' indictment of coal operators. According to figures gathered by the Federal Trade Commission, the average mines during April was $3.-26 per ton. At that time coal was costing the consumers $5'to$io per ton fmd it has since advanced to around $14. Somebody got »a big'.rake-off and it seems that neith er the miners nor the local dealers got more than a reasonable profit. The profiteers, it is. alleged are a bunch of speculators who have tak-. en advantage of an “upset market” arid while they controlled only a small part of the coal output they managed to work the public for ex tortionate prices for coal. Better conditions are promised but the situation will not be fully met until the robbers are put to work digging coal and compelled to dig for a few years under the supervisi on of a convict boss who wil see that they keep busy. Aud that is equivalent to the saying the situati on will not be “fully met.” Gentry of that type beat leaded-footed justice in the race nine times out of ten.—Statesville Landmark. The Champion Cow. The Dutch Dairy Farm, for sever al years, has had the champion cow of the state. Shewas tested again in July, last month, Anjdas hot as the month was she registered 95 lbs of fat. 112 lbs of butter and 1520 lbs of milk—in that one month. How is that?—Hickory Mercury.

But the free-born American citizens do not want a one-man government and BrotherCox will not be elected. YE GODS AND UHLE FISHES. The Carolina Watchman, a Democratic paper printed in Salis bury, deposes and says: ; , “ We notice that at the Cox no tification ceremony^one Rev. Mart in P. Neville, Holy Angel’s Roman Catholic church/, pronounced the benediction. This is sufficient notice to the faithfillrcatholic to vote for Cox, it is notice that the Roman hierarchy has sought and obtained pledges-for such demands as it may chocs^ to make and that the nation al democracy has consented to do its' bidding. It is also notice to -•true, red-blooded Americans and Pxotestantsif they value their freed- . om and right to worship as they please to see that Cox and Roose velt never become president and vice president^ of the republic.” So far as we' are able to see no comment is necessary on. above ar ticle, except that we are anxious to know how the Protestant preachers are going to treat this timely advice. “Who Nominates The Connty Qf- ficerjJ” Mr. Editor:—W ehavenovoting primary'law in Davie County , by which county officers are nominat ed. Every time a voting primary law was introduced in the legisla ture Davie Coimty was exempted from its- operation. Was it done for the good of the people and party or was it done in order to perpetuate the nominations of Republican can- didates in the hands of a little town and county machine? It’s to be hoped that every Repulican man and woman in Davie County will go out to the primaries on September 4th and elect delegates to the coun ty convention who will see that the wishes of the rank and file of the Republican party in the County are respected, and a ticket nominat ed that will command the respect and support of every law-abiding Republican inthe Couuty on the day of the election.^ Jt cannot and will not be done, if the little mach ine is allowed to dominate and con trol the convention as in the past. Thp !-Republican party stands for the rule of the people, and that ele ment of the manhood and woman hood of the county who believe in such rule are going to be heard this year either at the convention or at the pollsin. November. I am asking for no office, but I-'want to vote ,the Republican ticket from i president down to coroner; but .I cannot do it if the convention is : - dominate^, by that element wHicii is I’ trying to force the nomination of I certain men upon the party regard less of the wishes of the rank and file. Take notice, you cannot hog- tie.and. throttle the good wom anhood by forcing certgin candidat es through the convention, -.nor the good men of the party either. Let’s have a clean square deal in both primaries and convention. Elect delegates to the convention next Saturday wh© .have the best interest of the people as well as the party at heart. Davie County has been Republican since 1882, and I predict that the Hon. John Parker will carry the Countyby the largest majority ever given a Republican provided we put out a ticket’-that will appeal to the best element of the entire citizenship of the county. The lawless element in the county should be asked to take a back seat, they cannot nominate or elect the ticket by themselves, and^t I is too much to ask t-N; good raSn and women of the party to help them.

Our charming old gentleman could hot go through the entire Institution,. Ud the warden led him to the most !accessible parts of the interesting place. IVe saw the rattan-chair works jjind the honor men In the gardens. We Ulso took one glance at a tier of cell- kouses and peeped into the dining-hall Uii into the chapel. The warden would have had us stay [to dinner. I had to forbid this. It would have been too much of a physical strain Uon llr. Sidney. I knew that the Ut ile diversion was interesting him, and I was glad to have Iiim interested, but i did not want to tax his strength. ‘Tm the. doctor’s servant,” he said. J 1Tll look into the library if you don’t Imind, warden, and then we’U obey the physician.” Warden Williams led us to the Ii- jbrary, which contained a large col- Ilection of books. An elderly convict ■ was engaged in cataloguing some new !volumes which had just been taken lout of boxes. He was interested and Jpald no attention to us. Mr. Sidney lookednt him for a few I minutes. “What did you say was his crime?” I he asked of the warden. “TImt’s Dobson,” said Mr. Williams. [ 4Tou must know his story. He is the I man who killed his brother. You are I living in the Dobson 'house.” I looked at the frail, white-haired I man with a sudden shock of Interest. I Tils was the man who bad created the I giost story at Hartley house. He was fumbling registry cards and writing on them. He was frail and insignificant. He had been once, by legend, a sturdy, ; muscular, cruel brute. He was now feeble and interested in cataloguing. Mr. Sidney looked about the room. “This does not seem to be so well protected as the other parts of the prison,” he said. “It is hot thought necessary,” said the warden. “Escape from here might not be impossible for an agile man, It “That's ail there is human of your ghost story," said the warden. “It Is more than most ghost stories have,” said Mr. Sidney. "He Ib the Man Who Killed Hle Brother." J* not impossible from any part of the at - 11 can only be made lmprob- BniB- It would be easier from here, nt still difficult. But this old man ouia be In a harder prison of deprl- Btion and friendlessness outside than . is inside.” 1Do you mean that he Is the man *o made the ghost story I bought my housor Mr. Sidney asked. CHAPTER V. I could not believe the slightest par ticle in the ghost story. I am ration alistic. But as the legend of the pond took shape, my imagination began to give substance to its shadows. Yet the place was genial and cordial. Mr. Sidney’s joviality was the dom inant note in the house. An aging sick man might naturally.have been testy. He might have been impatient, have had whims and crochets. He might have been irascible In his demands upon and acceptance of service. But Mr. Sidney was always cordial and considerate. A great deal of the time he spent In bed. When he was not in bed, he sat In a great chair, and very often a yellow’ Persian cat restfed on his knees. It was a ’difficult if not dangerous matter for any one else than Mr. Sidney to touch the cat, named Algol. “The Winking Demon," said Mr. Sidney, fingering, the cat’s ruff as It lay on his lap, and purred. I knew just enough of the star Algol and its vari ability to understand the whimsicality o f an old man’s naming a cat for the winking sun. Algol ill Mr. Sidney’s lap blinked at me, and the old man’s genius for understanding and classi fication seemed uncanny. Mr. Sidney’s room was of great size. It had two fireplaces and a large cove of windows bulging toward the west. At the smaller of the two fireplaces he had his breakfast. Either at the large fireplace or In the outward bulge of windows, he had his dinner. In spite of ihe Persian cat, Mr. Sid ney had three canaries in the room. Algol respected them after a fashion that I thought uncertain. I have seen a canary sitting on the cat’s head, but I thought It was a decided case of mis placed confidence. Algol wanted that canary and would continue to want it. He was deterred from natural action in the matter by his affection for the strange but kindly master who want ed cats and canaries to live together in amity. I know I never fully grasped Mr. Sidney’s scheme of life, but I thought that he found existence ironic.; His graciousness and his cheerfulness, I thought, represented the garlands of, his conquest of morbidity. His per sonal charm was extraordinary. Every one In the house felt it. But an aston ishing thing about Mr. Sidney was an occasional emotion which, as it mani fested Itself In his expressions—and that was the only fashion I saw it fbr a long time—was one of savage hate. It was only by comiDg on him when he was not expecting me that I saw this. I remember that the first time I saw the expression on his face I was dumfounded. That I was not expected in his room was entirely without inten tion on my part. People who were ac customed to being with him walked into the room without ceremony. His bedroom and bath were to one side. His living-room he insisted should be open without formality. o On the occasion I speak.of I had come In quietly, but. it was without Intention to surprise my patient. He was sifting in his large chair with Algol on his knees. His eyes were closed, and on his face was an expression of malevol ence that was almost demoniac. It was so startling that-the sight of if stopped me in my step and made me feel more than uneasy, almost afraid. Mr. Sidney was quiet, except that wlfb one hand he stroked Algo! about the head and ears. The caress was al most imperceptible in motion, but Al gol was purring so IoudIy1 that the sound filled fhe otherwise quiet room. The malevolence—the malignancy, hatred, concentrated essence of feroc ity—in Mr.- Sidney’s face would have stopped anyone. To one who had af fection for him as I had. it was ab horrent to see him so. It was a con fession of something I did not wain.; fo know. I was In fear that he might hear me and, opening his eyes, find that I had discovered him. I was embarrassed and uncertain what to do. It was a silly predicament, as I saw afterward. My part was quite simp’e. I should have paid no attention to any such, phenomenon as the expression on a man’s face and have acted perfectly naturally. .;The commpn-sensc tiling—and I con sider myself fairly sensible—was ap parent afterward. It indicates the as tonishing shock of the thing that I was unable to act sensibly. What was the expveKsb-n In an amiable, charming man s face, to knock a sensible person oift of ail1 ids senses? Here vvas a bn-’ng man merely toying with a cat’s errj. rod the very sight of what was expressed in his face, made me numb. I cannot understand it now, the ter rifying sensation being one which dis appeared as the recollection of the emotions faded. What I did was to back foward the door, open it as quiet ly as I could, back out, and then re enter the room noisily. , Mr. Sidney was looking at? me smil ingly. His charm of manner never seemed moye positive and active. . “Hello, doctor!” he said. “I needed company and just your company. If you would only drink wine!”* * V ' * * * V A broken pipe in the laundry made It necessary to call a plumber from Hartley, and to get quick service, it was agreed that we should send a car for the rtan and his helper. The day was pleasant, and for the sake of the drive I went with the driver. The plumber was a fat man of the comic type. I thought he must be the embodiment of all the plumbers’ jokes. They seemed to have created him; he was the product of the comics. I even asked him if he were sure he had all his tools. I thought he would be sure to send us back for a wreneh. He was amiable, laughed af anything or nothing and was saved from being a nuisance only by an abounding ani mal optimism which was infectious. . Driving through the Hartley house grounds, we came to the pool, and the plumber—named Harkins—chuckled. Thus far, whenever he or something else amused him, he had laughed. Now he chuckled as if in recollection of an experience richer or' deeper than any he had been talking of. “That place is going to lie remem bered by me,” he said. “I have been out here only once since the night I made a bet I was not afraid to sit on the bank here for an hour. ,They’ve got a good many stories of this place In town. I had been drinking a little. I don’t do it steady, but once in a while I get out. YouVe got to do it to keep the house going happy.’ Give the wife something to talk about. My wife would rather scold me than eat, and she Icves her food. 44We were at the White Pigeon, hav ing a good time but thinking of going home, when some one started on this Hartley house story. Everybody had something to say, and I said that there was no ghost that could scare me, at least no ghost that ever was within a hundred . miles . of Hartley. That’s where I made a tool ot myself. Tve got to admit that’s where I made a fool of myself. “I bet five dollars I would sit an hour on the bank at this place. I for got all about the dogs, or I’d not have made the bet. Anyway, they didn’t bother me. We got an automobile and drove out here. The fellows left me at the pool and went a mile back. They were going to take my word for it. I was to stay an hour and then start' walking back. At the end of an hour they would start toward me and pick me up. They had beer and sand wiches.. I had a couple of bottles and some cheese and crackers. “I wasn’t afraid of that place. Tm not afraid of any place unless I get to thinking about this ODe. It was along in October. A hoot-owl was somewhere back of me. and there was a whippoorwill up toward the house. ‘Tm used to hoot-owls and whip poorwills, but I hadn’t drunk more than half a bottle of beer before even these things began to sound different. “The current of the river kept knock ing at’ the big rock at the up end of the pool, and you began to think that things were reaching for you out of the dark. I’d have given ten dollars, to (pit, but I got so that I didn’t want to move. I felt safer sitting still. “Then I began to hear things that I don't suppose were making a noise at all. It may be it was rabbits in the bush. I nearly died when Vl .heard a cry about fifty feet back Of fine. I did hear that. I guess a ferret had got a rabbit. You know how a rabbit cries —like a baby. “I was sitting in the open, and I thought Td feel better if I got my back up against something. So I crawled over to some bushes and sat down be hind them. ’ “Maybe I had been there a half « 1 hour, feeling scary and uncomfortable, when I heard a regular yell. Tbetv wasn’t any fooling about that. It sounded like some one being hurt but yelling not So much because of the hurt as because he was mad. “You’ve heard fellows talking about their hair standing on end. I .never knew what it really meant before, but my hair just stood right up. I felt like some one .was trying to scalptme. and I was gooseflesh all over. “It had lieen dark on account of clouds, hut just then the moon came out and lighted up the place. There was a man standing on the edge»of the pool, just about where I had been sit ting. He was leaning with both hands on a Ciifie and standing perfectly still. He didn’t seem like a man. He looked like one, but you had a feeling that he wasn’t one. “I don’t want ever to be so scared again. I didn’t know who had yelled, but I thought this man had, and I didn’t think he was a man. I thought he was a ghost, t I’m not saying what I think pow, but if I had to. I’d say that I saw the ghost of this place— and anybody that wants to laugh can laugh. He can come down here at night and get cured of. laughing. “I couldn’t move for a while. The man stood. still, leaning on his cane. I watched him until I began to feel that T could use my legs again. I don’t know why I was so scared, but I ’ was. I crawled away through (he brush’ for a hundred feet or so. Then I got up and ran. 4T heard that yell behind me -again. I’ll bet nobody around here ever ran a mile as fast as I did. I geared the fellows who were waiting for me. They didn’t poke any fun af me. They looked at . me and got that automobile started., Ipaid the bet, but they didn’t have any laugh on me. There Isn’t oqe of them-would come down here at night now.” “When was this?” I asked. ' “Four or five years, ago,’’ .said the plumber., “Some time In October." We came to the house, and he went Into the laundry to fix (he pipes.: 4Tt doesn’t look haunted around here.” be said as he perceived the tangible joviality of the place, “but you’ve got to get me out before dark." That was virtually the complete sub stance of the Hartley Iiouse ghost— rite picture of » man leatiing on a cane by the edge'of the river. Komance tad to be content with it.* * * - * * " • * One evening in late October, which had turned chill and brought up a high wind, Mt. Sidney produced a new phenomenon. He had a strange flash of strength.’ 'Vhen I went to his room after dinner I found him walking about without help. Ordinarily, if he walked at all. Jed was his strength. VOccasionally I can do it, doctor,” he said. “The strength comes. I usual ly pay for it next day. however.” 4Td be very careful, then,” I sug gested. “Yes, but you do not know how grateful it is to feel vigor once in a while,” he said, continuing to walk forth and back in the room. I sat down and wafched him without remonstrating. It was astonishing to see him so agile and strong but I had learned that timid prudence was very ineffective. I had confessed my inabil ity to understand him. He did not seem to want to continue life for the purpose of preserving its sensations but for the purpose of some accomplishment. His conditions were so pleasant that it might be reasonable to desire a prolonging of them.

He had no unfinished work. And yet his will to live, I knew, was a will to see the fruit of some thing. He seemed to have a spiritual incentive;’ something that had othei than a physical impulse controlled him and gave him resolution. I was marveling at his strange ac tivity when Isobel and Mrs. Sidney came in. Mr. Sidney propdsed whist, and we began a game. The wind id- creased in violence, and the log fire grew in comfort We had a pleasant game, disturbed for me only by specu lations as to the cause of Mr. Sidney’s strange animation and strength. Shortly after ten o’clock the ladies said good night, and Jed came in with a fresh log for the fire. The wind had been increasing in volume, sound and power. I was thinking of bed. “Sit a while longer, doctor,” Sir. Sid ney urged. “Jed and I shall be the better for some other company. This is the sort of night we like to sit up t^ enjoy. Esthetically one ought to make the most ot such a night” ,Ted went out and presently came In again with two bottles of wine. "WSit- are we drinking tonight. Jed?”. Mr. Sidney asked. ,- “I thought the evening suggested a warm sherry,” said Jed. • “I think it does,” said Mr. Sidney, “There is body and a live soul in sherry.” “B ut. certainly,” I suggested In alarm, “you will not-drink sherry.” “Indeed.,not,” said Mr. Sidney. 44Jed drinks it for me, and I watch him. You must have a glass with him—just one. He’il have a dozen—I don’t ask you to follow him—but just one." ■ Jed opened a bottie, and when he offered me a glass I yielded. , I wanted to increase the sense of protective comforts against that shrill wind out side. x Jed drew a comfortable chair close to the fire and took his wine in large but appreciative gulps. I took mine in small but appreciative sips. The fire roared, and the wind howled. Jed. drinking by gulps, soon was ex hilarated. Mr. Sidney and I had been rational We had been talking, I re call, of the substitution of a Syrian idea of immortality, concerned chiefly with precious metals and, stones, for the north European idea of Valhalla, when Jed began to sing, and with gusto and affection opened ,,anothei bottle of wine/ The wind grew in vio lence. “It is a night for any of the living dead about a place,” I- said. 44I like a wind that has many voices.” said Mr. Sidney. “It produces certain sensations or emotions that are primi tive.

Link Up the State.- Raleigh--The personnel CitizensT Highwav association of North Carm lina, organized at the recent mass meeting on the opening day of the legislature in Raleigh, has been com pleted by Col. T. L. Kirkpatrick, nam ed as chairman, and authorized to complete the organization by naming officers and committees. These officials and committees are composed of leaders In every business and profession, organization, in all sections of the state and of both poli tical parties, real leaders in all affairs of the state. Col. Kirkpatrick an nounces. stating that he has made particular effort in securing all inter ests.The ’ object of the organization ot summed up by the chairman, as fol lows: "To assist and cooperate with the commonwealth in financing, con structing and maintaining a state sys tem of hard-surfaced highways con necting and traversing all county seats and principal towns of the state; to develop and improve the highways of North Carolina in order to develop the economic life of the state, lessen the cost of living and to encourage re ligious, moral, educational, agricultur al and industrial welfare of the state, to the end that the citizenship may en joy greater prosperity and happiness. The ultimate object of the pro moters of the association is to link up every county seat with those around it. connecting all of the 100 county seats and an intrastate system built and maintained solely by the state, so- that the counties wilt not be required to pay the costs of such roads. The counties would be left alone to build such lateral and communal roads to these roads as they see fit and in any way and of any material they desire. Coi. Kirkpatrick said. As to’the fed eral government, it would be expected to build and maintain all interstate roads, he said. A suggestion has been made that _ method for raising the $50,000,000 asked for this work is that the levy ing of a tax of three-fourths of a mill will return the principal at the rate of two and a half ’million dollars a year tor a period of 20 years. For Inter est and maintenance fund the use o t . the automobile tax. already assessed, and one cent on gasoline, would give two and a half million a year, the available maintenance fund inrcreas- ing as it would be more likely to be n-eded because of’ the annual de crease* in the amount of the interest. ‘ Great Damage By Rains.

FORMULA WHICH WILL APPEAL In ,Place of Platitudes So Liberally Indulged In by the Democrats the Republican Candidate’s At. titude Is Welcomed. After all the vain platitudes about economy uttered but not practiced by the Democratic administration, and after the useless Democratic threats against the profiteer and tlie endless noisy price investigations staged by administration henchmen for political effect, it is like a welcome breath of fresh air to review the concise, straightforward formula which Sena tor Harding, if elected president, in tends to follow as a means of reduc ing the cost of living: “First—Revise, and possibly^ entire ly repeal, the excess profits tax. This is the chief cause of the high price of •everything today. The manufacturer collects it, the wholesaler collects It, the retailer collects it—with the result that the ultimate consumer pays three taxes instead of one. “Second—Congress will immediately abolish the government tax: on freight and passenger traffic. The public, will promptly reap the benefit. “Third—Congress will immediately Increase the tariff schedules and will thereby not only .decrease the tax bur den now falling on this country by about $200,000,000 but will protect in dustries and American labor which need protection from lo>v p_aid for eign competition. “Fourth—Congress, will materially modify the Income tax schedules and jring about a very considerable reduc tion in them.” Tliose four short paragraphs embody a mine of economic wisdom. They foreshadow the scrapping of a con venient tax machine which has been the joy of Democratic . spendthrifts, making, it possible for them, to put into active, wasteful practice their slogan of “Easy come, easy go.” But these four paragraphs,, outlined by Senator Harding to Representative Slenfp of Virginia, and by him to the Repub lican national committee, also contain In each of their integral parts a po tential means of relief for the over burdened consumer, the handicapped domestic business man and the menaced international trader, who witness other governments taking every measure to protect their own in dustry and foster their prosperity, while our administration remains in active, sensing no approaching hard ships but choosing to foresee only a blissful future bestowed by a kindly providence without effort on the part of the recipients. Harding's Good Beginning. In general the speech of Senator Harding is entitled to strong com mendation because of its sober earn estness. The Republican candidate does not promise the millennium. He is not swollen with egotism, and he has too much regard for the people to think that they want him to 'play demagogue. Those who rejoice.in-loud noises and a beating of a tom-tom will doubtless complain Of the mildness of the speech, but others will see in its reserve evidence of character. Sena tor Handing distinctly makes a good beginning. DeceptiveFigures. It is entirely natural that the ad ministration should seek to counter un comfortable charges of extravagance and waste in some dramatic showing that all can understand, but it is a pity that It could not go about it more candidly.

The reduction came about through sinking fund operations automatically and through belated re ceipts on the Victory loan.—Louisville Herald.

Up to four years ago but little sys tematic work had, been done by the United States toward the promotion of the interests of American farmers in export trade. Occasionally experts were sent abroad to study demands and methods in foreign countries, but the information furnished was frag mentary and of a general nature. Then the United States department of agriculture organized a division of , foreign marketing investigations as an adjunct of the bureau of markets. De signed to assist normal trading and,, the development of foreign markets for , American agricultural products, the division’s work during the war pe riod was devoted largely to prepara tion for conditions after the cessation of hostilities. An extensive survey of the fruit markets of the far East and Australia was made; and certain phases of the live stock, meat, dairy and wool industries of Australasia; studied. Plans Got Under Way. With the signing of the armistice the bureau of markets got under way plans for more extensive work in for eign countries, such as investigations of the Euorpean seed markets and an extensive survey of the live stock, meat and dairy situation. The bu reau of markets has the co-operation of the bureau of foreign and domes tic commerce and of the consular serv ice of the department of state. There are more tremendous opportu nities than ever before, for the estab-’ lishment of American trade in agri cultural products in foreign markets. In 1910 the total foreign trade in ag ricultural products approximated $1,-. 016.000,000. In 1919 tbe business totaled $4,257,000,000. Allowing for the difference In the buying power of the dollar In 1910 and In 1919, these figures still show an Increase of more than 100 per cent. In foodstuffs alone, i. e., dairy products, meats and bread- stuffs, the increase in the quantity ex ported during the period from 1915 to 1919, inclusive, showed an Increase of about 100 per cent over that of 1910- 1914. Of course, this tremendous increase yvtfs produced largely by war condi tions and conditions which resulted from the war, but every effort should be made to maintain this business and to increase it. The bureau of markets is actively engaged to the linjjt of its capacity in obtaining the fullest in formation as to the opportunities for the exportation of all surplus farm products and in placing these data be fore the American farmer. As an example of what has been ac complished, purebred live stock to the valge of $400,000 have been purchased in this- country during the past six months by South American buyers to whom the bureau gave assistance lead ing up to the sales. ' Buys Purebreds In This Country. Buyers of purebred live stock throughout the world are coming In increasing numbers to the United States, where they are finding the greatest number of breeds and assur ance of every facility for obtaining exactly the animals desired. The general subjects of Investiga tion by the bureau are: 1. The supply of agricultural prod ucts in foreign markets and the ex port surplus In the principal Weign countries with which the United States • competes. 2. Theconsumptldn and demands in the principal (Importing countries. 3. The ’market preferences as to kinds of products and the requirer ments as to grading, packing and branding. 4. The channels of trade through which the products pass and the busi ness, practice Involved. - 5. The methods and costs of- mar keting both American and foreign products. 6. Methods of financing .export trade in agricultural products. 7. The export forwarding, storage, transportation, and insuring of agricul tural products. ’ - : - '■ 8. The economical conditions Influ- edelng the marketing of American ag ricultural products. In foreign coun tries. 9. Trade opportunities for ' Amerir :«fli agricultural-prodncts. • . While few individual producers are -In a favorable position, on account of the limited volunie of. their produce, to enter foreign, markets, growers who are members of cooperative organiza tions find the bureau’s service of great value. Not only ls general Informa tion accorded them upon request- but specific inquiries are constantly an swered regarding prices, trend of the trade, freight and ocean rates, cartage, insurance, grading, packing, methods of shipping, shipping facilities; com petition of other countries, stocks on hand in various parts of the world, customs and trade restrictions. The bureau urges every farmer, whether a member of a co-operatlvl organiza tion or a prospective member, to study foreign marketing conditions. DOCKAGE MAXIMS TJie percentage of dockage is an essential factor In arriving at the true value of a lot of wheat. This dockage may con sist of either useful or harmful foreign materials. The various methods of han dling dockage should be carefully investigated and the one that is best suited to the needs of the local conditions should be adopt ed. When a large percentage of dockage is present in wheat it is advisable to remove it on the farm or at the point of shipment and thus, avoid paying the freight for the dirt, chaff, weed seeds, etc.. on the basis of tbe rate for wheat. The farmer gets a higher numerical grade for his wheat under the dockage system of the federal grades than he would un der a system ".of grading that does not require a determination for dockage but lowers the grade on account of the total foreign material present in the wheat marketed at country points. The dockage system in opera tion protects the farmer from the possibility of low prices fixed by the local buyer in order to in sure a safe purchase on a flnt- rate basis. MARKET FOR GUINEA EGGNOTAnRACTIVE Cannot Com pete Successfully W ith Ordinary Hen. Owing to Natural Tendency of Fowl to Nest in Well-Hidden Place, Many of Eggs Are Not Found Uptil Neariy Spoiled. As profitable egg producers, guinea hens cannot compete with ordinary hens, but during the latter part of spring and throughout the summer they arfe- persistent layers. The eggs are smaller than hen eggs, weighing about -1.4 ounces each, while eggs of the common fowl, average about two ounces each; consequently guinea eggs sell at a price somewhat lower. There« is no' special market for guinea eggs, and they are usually graded by dealers as small hens’ eggs. Owing to the natural tendency of the guinea hen to nest in a patch of weeds or some other well-hidden place, many of the eggs are not found until they are no longer fit for market. The shells of goinea eggs are So thick and often so dark that It is difficult to test them by candling. For this reason, and also because 'the eggs are small, dealers do not like to handle them. For- home use, however, guinea eggs can be made to take the place of hen eggs, and many regard them:as supe rior In flavor. In composition: the greatest difference is Jthat the shell Is thicker and the yolk makes up a slight ly larger proportion of the total egg contents-than In the case of hen eggs, poultry specialists of the United States department of agriculture say.

JELLY MAKING TIME BYom past experience in canning Iuice for jelly because of the scarcity or price of sugar the housewife has found that, later when she would convert the sug- arless juice into jelly that sugar had doubled In price. Consequent ly, remembering the old proverb that ‘a bird in the hand is worth two in bush,” we will proceed to make our jelly as usual as far as the sugar- and the purse holds out There are many fruits, mild in fla vor or lacking pectin, the thickening quality which makes jelly jell, which may be made to thicken by using var ious otter fruits such as lemons, or anges or the citron melon. The white inner portion of the orange and lemon is boiled for three house in a pint or. more of water, strained and used to add to the fruit juice lacking in pec tin, If one likes rhabarb, and it makes a most attractive jelly, take one quart each of cubed citron melon and rhubarb cooked until not too mushy, with one quart of water and drip over night. The juice will be thin but it is boiled for -a few minutes then the sugar added and cooked un til it jells. For pineapple jelly take one quart of diced pineapple; a good ripe one and an equal quantity of diced citron melon, one pint of water, cook ed and mashed thoroughly and cooked to a pulp in a fireless cooker. Strain over night The result will be a pint and a half of juice; boil this ten min utes, then add an equal measure of sugar and cook about fifteen minutes. If the pineapple is .very sweet a table spoonful of lemon juice for each pint of citron and pineapple juice will has ten the jellying process and add to the flavor. If doubtful as to the jellying power of any juice test it with a teaspoonful of alcohol and an equal quantity of the strained juice before the sugar is add ed. If it becomes a gelatinous mass by stirring it will have plenty of pectin without adding any of another fruit. For those who do not care for the rhubarb flavor, the rhubarb may be used with orange or lemon i-ind with some of the juice. "Such jelly will have no flavor of rhubarb. Kaspberry juice combined with rhubarb for bulk and thickened with the pectin from an oraage or lemon will have all the flavor of raspberries. This same meth od will work with blackberries, blue berries and strawberries, so tfcat one !may have all the delightful flavors of •his favorite fruits as long as the sugar !holds out. , I Keep the colt shut >p if the mare is working. «:.-...J-;.':.*! , .* v.

For variety, roll a half cupful of fresh, crisp peanuts, sprinkle with a finely minced onion over head lettuce and serve with French dressing.

In the memorable “he kept us out of war’’ campaign, President Wilson solemnly assured the country that Democracy platform promises were made to be kept when elections were over and were not “molasses to ketch flies.” Governor Cox has recently paraphrased this statement by de claring that “ the platform of the party is a promissory note. I shall see that it is paid in full, every dol lar and every cent.”' AU this promising profession, re calls theDemocartic platform of 1912, which has thus been summarized,— to read it in the light of such state ments as these is to laugh: - High cost of living due to “Re publican high tariff laws, etc.; these criminal conspiracies must be broke up so as to make it impossible for private monopoly to exist.” . States must not be deprived of any rights reserved to them.” Favor single „term for President; urge constitu tional amendment making President ineligible for re election and pledge our candidate (Wilson) to this plinci- ple.” Denounced "profligate waste of money wrung from the people by oppressive taxation by Republicans.-” Demanded “return to that simplicity and economy which befits democratic government and reduction of num ber of offices, the salaries of which, drain substance of people,” No abridgment of fight of wage-earners to organize.” American ships to pass through PanamaCanaI toll free. Our platform is one of principles, our pledges are made to be kept when in office as well as relied on during campaign.—National Republican. By nature and training Mr. Hard ing is a reconcile!, and the country needs sorely this kind of service just now. Mr. Harding will ap proach every problem from the point of view of a simple, honorable and. prartical Americanism.— Leslie’s Weekly. 27.2 Miles per Gallon E c o n o m y — 27.2 m ile s p e r g a llo n o f g aso lin e o n a ll k in d s o f ro a d s fro m N e w Y o rk t o S a n F ra n c is c o ! 1721 m ile s t o e a c h g a llo n o f c ill E n tire tr ip m a d e o n o rig in a l tir e e q u ip m e n t.

Democrats Have Been Inspired To Do Some Heavy Hedging. Tom 80 s!. >" Greensboro News. Cai^ron Morrison’s willingness to accept feminine votes, hisbidfor them in Graham where he opoied bis caMipaign for the governorship, rested light as ocean foam, to pla alari/o that glorious hymnodist of Aunt 1'inali's Quilting Party, on the suffragists who recall that Mr. MorriAiu was in Raleigh recently aiui forgot to renjember to invite the n when they were knocking at the Dtmocfatic df;or. Mr. Morris&S's party trick isn’t pretty to theml John Parkercam e here ami did his best to hold evejy Repiililicaii iujine. It is undoubt edly true that Mr. Parker was up to a little political devilment on the side: but Ue came through on suff rage. The Republicans needed iniglity little evangelism. But Mr. [ Morrison wouldn’t say a word for the women. To have so would have been tantamount to placing himself 011 social aud political level with John Parker and this in the piling I days of aristocracy would have been [ too much. Tlie women are not crazy about [voting for Mr. Morrison. They [know as much about the burdens Jthathespeaks about as they did [before Tennessee ratified and North (Carolina double-crossed them. Ten- Iiiessee was under no party obliga tion at home. It had not resolved Iin stale convention to ratify in spec ial assembly. North Carolina had. git Ilionght it had sense and sensed JihesufIrage issue. It didn’t. It Ilcarned too late to act Seetnly about lit that back home where politicians Iliad persistently turned up their Iiioses at suffrage, there was much Iseirtiraent against it. But they !learned it soon enough to crawfish SaBd that serves all practical pur- Jposes. But for all that Mr. Morrisonhas !done for the women' his. attitude Itowardthem in the committee hear- Iiiigs of 191S, his conduct which !"as an affront to them and to the I men, according to both; it < is un- Jdoiibted now that he needs the wo- Jraeiis votes and all others that he lca»get, both the quick and dead. ITaere are places in North Caro Jlina where Mr. Morrison will hard- j Iy speak this year and he must and I doubtless does feel it risky to pass Iby any people without giving them |3 chance to hear red shirtism glori- Jfed one more time.

It was a pretty good party appeal without any la bel, but it flabbergasted Morrison and made every Democrat in the general assembly hope that Mr. Morrison will not be rash enough to invite the Monroe Republican into a joint issue. These and sundry other eviden ces that Mr. Morrison is not going to be a strong candidate; his great array of women voters who never will be for him, his quarrel with one-half of the party, his unwilling ness to forget what others said . a- bout him, his great love for saying what he said about others, his re-: sentment of a progressive speech by a Republican, all show weak nesses which will tell in joint or single canvass. Republican mem bers of the legislature, who seem to be very fond of Collector J. W. Bailey, declarie that Mr. Bailey, who is much the sm artest' man in the whole Morrison party,. does not think Morrison has a chance to win. Of course Bailey thinks revaluation will be the first undoing and woman suffrage the other. Thfese Republi cans declare that Mr. Bailey does not think Mr. Morrison clever enough to .harmonize his> ideas on tax - and his attacks on ideas. In other words, the women will scratch Mr. Morrison and revaluation will kill him very dead. All of which is respectfully sub mitted.* “Harking Back” Governor Cox affects to be much concerned at what he regards as an announcement that Senator Harding, ‘!purposes to hark back to the days of thirty years aeo.” His apprehen sions are, we j Dsdge,., only too well founded; wherefore we would sym pathetically exhort him to cheer up, for the worst is vet to come. We venture to say that Senator Harding purposes to hark back even more, a good deal more than thirty’ years. He will bark back about fifty- seven years, to the prin:ipal of “gov ernment of the people, oy the people, for the people;” a principle enunciat ed by one Abraham Lincoln, who was reviled and denounced by Gov ernor Cox’s fellow-partisans more than.Theodore Roosevelt and Henry Cabot Lodge and Warren.G. Harding all put .together have been. He will do more than that. He will hark back to the days of ninety- seven years ago, to the principle that “in the wars of the European Power in matters relating to themselves, we have never taken any part, nor does it comport, with oiir policy f so to do,” a principle enunciated by one James Monroe, whom degenerate Democrats of to-day seem to wish to repudiate and to forget. He will hark back to the days of a hundred and nineteen years ago, to the principle of “ peace, commerce, and honest friendship with all nati ons; entangling alliance with none;” a principle proclaimed by one Thom as Jefferson, whom Democrats to day claim as the founder of ' their party while they -depart, from and deny the wisest of his national poli cies. He will hark back, we have no doubt, to the days of a hundred and twenty-four years ago, to an utter ance which ran in this fashion: The great rule of conduct, for us, in regard to foreign nations, in ex tending our commercial relttion to j have with'them as a little political | connection as possible. ‘Tis our true policy to steer clear of perman ent alliances with any portion of the foriegn world. That utterance, we may remind Governor Cox, was made by one George Washington, whose patriotic sagacity is still highly esteemed by many American citizens, despite the efforts of the League Covenant ers to belittle it. He will hark back to the davs of a hundred and thirty-one years ago. to the text of an instrument which vested m the Congress of the United States the sole power to declare war to raise and support armies, to pro- vide-and maintain a navy, and in general to make laws for the instru ment known as the Constitution of the United Statesof America, Which a great many American'citizens per sist in preferring to the Convenant of the League of nations. He will, hark back, event to the days of a hundred and forty-four years ago, to an historical document which declared— That these United Colonies are and of right ought to be Free and Indcpendant States - - - and that as Free and Iridependent-States they have full power to levy war. con clude peace, contract alliances, esta blish commerce, and to do all other acts and things which independent states may of right do. Those words occurred in a docum ent known as the Declaration of In dependence, to. the maintenance of which the signers pledged their lives their fortunes, and their sacred hon or; and which their descendants to day have no mind to abrogate or to repudiate. Since thus to “hark back” Eeems to be the order of the day, it may in appropriate to suggest that Gover nor Cox himself might do well to hark ba.ck to a still more ancient date thaii aiiv of these, to a Code which says “Thou shalt not bear false wit ness agsfinst thy neighbor,” and to inquire of the practical managers of his campaign how much longer they purpose to let the Forgery of San Francisco stand in the leading item of their platform—Harvey’s Vt eeklv.

R O Y S T E R G U A N O C O M P A N Y TAXES* - -TAXES Hickory Mercury. . Last year were a thousand or more acres that I could see from my front door that hardly produced enough to maintain the people that lived on them. These were good acres and in one of the best farming sections in Piedmont North Carolina; Why was this true? No labor. Whv no labor? Because cotton mills, lumber mills, fertilizer factories and other manufacturing industries had drain ed the country of its labor at prices far above what the farmer could pay The farms producted nothing to sell —no revenue The-inmates of these farm houses were poorly clothed. Why? The price of clothing was three times a- bove its normal level while the in come from the farm would not pay the price of comfortable clothing during normal times. r What lands were cultivated, were cultivated with old plows and half worn out machinery. Why? The price of farm machinery was entire ly out of reach of the farmer’s in come—the farm had- no revnue and the farmer did noc want to mortgage his farm for tools to farm it. But he may have to do this yet, or leave the farm. The price of every thing th'e farm er has to buy—clothing, machinery, fence, fertilizer etc.,—has multiplied a number of times while the produc tive capacity of the farm, has not in creased a penny. O ntheotherhand the low market of wheat, corn and meat—the products that maintain human life—has had to meet the high price of fertilizer, farm imple ments. e tc , that aid in producing them and. as a result, the farmer has let his land lie idle. As if these infernal conditions . ware not bad enough, last fall a lo cal tax assessor came around and raised the assessment of these farm landsfrom three to five times what they were during normal times when labor and other conditions were such as to permit a small income. The farmer is thus taxed on his labor to where he must do without it on his tools to. where he must use them old and half worn out; on his fertilizer where he must leave them off; on his family necesities to where he must forego them; and on his home to where he will soon have to sell and rent lands on which he was born. Farms, like solvent credit, should be taxed according to their ability to produce profit. A mortgage of ten thousand (§10,000) dollars bear ing six per cent interest should be listed at ten thousand (HOpOOO) dol lars, but no farm should be listed at ten thousand dollars unless its annual income for an average of ten years is six hundred ($600). dollars. Noattem pt has been made by the tax listers to ascertain the revenue producing capacity of the farms they have listed and, as a result, most farms are assessed far above their capacity to- produce. Shall these conditions remain or will this present legislature correct them? R. W. H. STONE. Convmces One Man. • Gov. Bickett’s message, prepared for him to read before the legislators convices one good man .that the Re valuation act is a good thing and that the governor is a Christian gentleman.

CHAPTER V—Continued. “And tell snd stories of the deaths of kings.” said Jed1 drawing his chair nearer to the fire’ and spreading out his hands before it. He was drinking more rationally now, sipping his wine instead of gulping it. He had arrived tt his desired state and wished to maintain it. » Mr. Sidney seemed to. feel-a com fortable glow as Jed drank. There 'vos no doubt that by suggestion he obtained physical sensations of stimu lation and joviality. ' "If we had a ghost,” said Mr. Sid ney, “it would walk on such-a-night.” The wind made an extraordinary at- Iset upon the windows as he spoke tnd sucked a soughing sound from the chimney. “Tell the doctor the story of the pool,” Mr. Sidney, said to Jed. . “We are in the comfortable werewolf state. Let’s hare our legend. Do you want to add a shiver to your contentment, doctor?” he asked. “I want to hear the story,” I said.. “So do I, once again,” said Mr. Sid ney, “—on such a night.” “This place once belonged to a fam ily named Dobson,” said Jed. “It was a- very old family—for American families,” said Mr. Sidney. “Came over in 1640,” said Jed. “English Puritans from Holland,” said Mr. Sidney. “Go ahead, Jed. I sha’n’t interrupt.” “After the capture of New Amster dam from .the Dutch by the English, the Dobsons came down from the Jiorth and bought this manor-house Trora the Dutch family that had it Then the Dobsons lived here in a sim ple fashion. “They renamed it Hartley house for their father, who was Hartley Dobson. Thafs its name now.” . “I don’t want to break in unneces sarily,” I said, “but where do you get jour information, Jed?” “It’s all in records in the libraTy,” he answered, “and if I ftm going to. tell the story I want a fair chance. . . . A lot of generations of Dobsons lived here. There was always a Dobson fam ily In the house, and the property came down to the generation that made this story. There were two boys in that family—a half century ago— the sons of James and Henrietta Dob son. “Henrietta Dobson died when her son Richard was nine years old and her other son' Henry'was seven .years ®M. James Dobson died two years la ter, and the boys were parentless. Thi3 family was an argument against families.” . "That’s one of the. heterodox notions, I have instilled in! an innocent mind." said Mr. Sidney. “Jed, you .must not rePcat phrases in your narratives. Tou purrot things and try to pass them as observations.” “You’ll have him surly in a moment,” I suggested, “and then where is: the story?" ■ • >- “I never knew him surly,” said Mr. Sidney, “and he could not. be. In his Benial wine.” Jed showed the flicker, of a . mallg- SMit glance in my direction and went on with his story eveply and good-na turedly. %. , V “I don’t pretend to have' all thd de tails or to understand it/' he said; “but from what I learn, Bldtard Dobr son, (he elder brother, witts‘Strong and brutal. Henry ' DobsonlS tie younger brother, was frail and sensitive. I. guess they hated each other frain the cradle, “Dick, when he wasfour'and Heqry Was two, found WajrS of to^rien ting his younger brother. The bl&t. thing Ben- rS ever had .from. RJchaiH was .contempt.” “I have knovn families of: thqtnj ture,” said Mr. Sidney: '“Our cbnven-, rions teach us fo regard a family tie as a sacrament In many cases it is ' only an odious obligation leading to' tragedy.” ... - ' . ' “Dick knew all of Henry’s weakness es,” .Ted continued. “Sometimes he would.torture him physically, by twist ing his wrist or rolling him over on the ground when ■ young girls were, around. Sometimes he would torture him without laying hands on him. ‘•Dick was & thick-headed brute, but he had a genius for cr&elty. -When their parents'died and the boys ap proached their majority* Henry was al most an imbecile for .fear of Dick. “Dick wanted then to get his inheri tance and go out into the.world, but the estate was left in trust until both boys were of age. Dick came of age and was obliged to wait two years for - Henry." I was astonished by the succinct and philosophical brevity of this ignorant man’s narrative. Mr. Sidney was at ease in his chair with his eyes closed and a placid expression of pleasure on his face. Jed was active in gesticula-: tlon as he talked. That was the ef fect of the wine. The wind continued to pull at the chimney and scold in the: corners. “Jed has read a great deal to me,” said Mr. Sidney without opening his eyes. “I think he has become theatric.” “Well,” said Jed, “to shorten a story,, when Dick,. being twenty-one, found that he had to wait two more years for Henry, he became more brutal than ever. In some way or other, the night of the murder the two brothers hap pened to meet in a tavern in a village not far from Hartley house. Henry did not want to go home with his. brother, but they both got drunk and. they started to walk home together. “No one has been able to do much more than guess at what took place, but it was known that Richard was a brute and that Henrywas scared of him but was not a coward.' They must have had a violent quarrel. “Tliere was a cottage pear the pool. The only person in it'at the time was a little girl, whose parents were not at home. She was awakened-.by cries and swearing. She said that she' heard, one man say: ‘They’ll find you dead in the morning.’ Then she heard sounds of a struggle , and was. scared and hid her head under the. bedclothes. “When her parents came home she told them what she had heard, and they went out with a lantern to the place from which the noise came. They found parts of Henry’s clothing. The next day Richard was found, ten miles away, still drunk. 'He confessed that be had killed his brother in a- drunken rage. “Afterward he said that he'hadn’t, but he admitted that there Md been a quarrel. It was a most-celebrated At the Edge of the Pool a Man Was Revealed in the Moonlight. trial.1 Richard was convicted, tlioneh the state could not produce any in dubitable physical evidence, of Henry’S death. The contention Oyer this ,evi dence, made the case noted, “Richard Dobson is. in the peniten tiary at AlWick now.

Whens JvSaidZgood-Uight-Jg Mr. Sid ney and Jed I did not go to my rooni. A Utile alcoholic stimulant to one un accustomed to it will break dowu rou- tllJi ,veiit tothe library to select a book i i P and’, take it to my -room. The fire in •the library was burning cheerfully. The wind had a clear sweep at the Windows. To- a slightly -exhilarated perception .the circumstances 'were' al luringly comfortable. ■ I found a good book, but lost the in clination to gb to: my room. I sat -down In a comfortable^ chair, having turned off .all' the lights except- that of the reading lamp. The library was large, and when the reading lamp alone was lighted there were (ie.ep shadows and the room was largely in, darkness. I read for a while'and then fell asleep. I had-,no" intention of doing that, but (Jrowsinpss came' irvesistibly and I was gone before-1 could force- myself to go to "bed. - '• Jt was two o’clock When' I awoke. The wind la d died down, I felt rest less and uneasy,, not being accustomed to failing asleep In this fashion. The sensation of waking up. and having perceptions struggle to establish not only location but identity was unpleas ant". ■■■.:■.- . ' ; • c . - I - started ' then JEor bed , but stopped at; the main door of the house' on my way.' I went to look to the fas tenings and found that ’ Jed, whose duty it was to close-the house, had for gotten to lock and bar the door. It was this incident , of seeing the chain hanging down and of going to the door that suggested a cure for my unpleasant restlessness after the nap in the library. I opened the door and went outside for a walk. Tlie moon in Its last quarter was rising In a cloud-filled sky. There was light one' instant and then dark. I ex pected the dogs iio join me, but none came. . A challenge arose within me—to go down by the way toward the haunted pool. ■ It was the moral taunt of a-sug gested cowardice. I 'thought of tHe place.and of all,I had been told of It; and the instinctive apprehension, per ceptible as I stood-on the steps to the. entrance, provoked tho challenge. It Seemed imperative. It would have been a moral retreat to go back into the house, as would have been' sensible, lock the door and go to bed. That seemed like backing down in the face of an inviting danger.. These chal lenges are inconsequential, but £hey seem important to character. • I did not have the real moral cour age, which was to turn my back on the invitation and gb indoors. I went down the steps to-, prove to myself my confi dence in myself—thereby disproving Ife As I neared the pool, the moon went behind a cloud. I came to a clump of bushes. The -moop came from behind its cover. There .was a gentle flood of returning light.- I was in, or ratlier behind, a screen of trees and brush. The pool-was fifty feet away/ At the edge of the. pool a man was revealed In the moonlight He leaned on a stick. . The ;moon went behind- another cloud, and the- figure on the bank be came ipdlstinct. It almost disappeared. I stood still, with apprehensive shud ders' working up and down, my-spine The phenomenon was outrageous and -unbelievable. The moonlight flashed -out again for an; instant. I saw the figure again but persuaded or tried to persuade myself that I did not see it, to say'to myself that it was a bush twisted into extravagant shape by my imagination. The moon went under a great dark cloud. I made a moral -and physical retreat. I did not run. That would have Jjeen ;an honest confession and expression of desire. I was hypocriti cal and walked, but my moral , defeat was complete. There was a man at ;the haunted pool. -I had seem him and something had deferral me from speaking to him, JnrtSng out who hie was or why he was there. ■ . '* • * '» • ' * *V • VA ■ really violent clmnge came' into our lives.'A suggestion that Mr. Sid ney go to the South for the winter was acted upon, and within .a month I was separated from the place and people so. important In my affections. Doc tor Brpwpeil bad been called to H art ley house,-by Mr, Sidney’s discourag ing condition. .Our invalid x had over-’ taxed, himself the. evening he displayed such activity In. bis room, such un usual strength''and agility..:. Thie fol- -Iowing morning he was almost In col lapse. I was alarmed and. telephoned Doctor Brownell, who came out at once.’ ' " : “Ton .will see his will pull him through?’ he' said. “If It were hot for that, I sbould .be alarmed. - He -s very low.” ; “t blame..myself for permitting the nnnsual exertion;" I s&id.' “My judg ment was deluded, I think, by my. hap piness at seeing him so strong. He really seemed ,strong. ‘ It did not seem fictitious or unnatural.” : Doctor-BrowneII said that the Phei nomenon- was not .hew 'In his experi ence with Mr. Sidney’s case.. ‘I have had if six -years,” he said, “find fhis I^the sixth time he has gone fi-om unexplained ; and - unnatural strength to extreme ffnd .dangerous weakness.- ' And always ,In the' fall— somewhere about this'time. Bdch time I have «een -his wlll^assert- itself and strengthen-him In:his exhaustion.”. The day I called Doctor Brownell I had been too concerned and alarmed to pay much attention to anyone but Mr. Sidney and did not observe until toward evening that Jed was malig nantly unfriendly again in his attitude toward me. Finally he made it appar ent by a bit of vicious insolence. I ^ad-determined never again to take hold of that nettle gingerly but to clutch it “What do you mean by that?” I asked. “There is a plague of officiousness about here, or has been since you came.” he said. ‘Ton locked the front door last night some time, didn’t you?” “ I found it open this morning, and after I had walked about the grounds "Do You Have to Se Judge of My Habits?” for a while I came in and threw the bolt,” I told him. “ . He seemed unpleasantly astonished —jolted and disturbed. “You were abroad last night!” he exclaimed. “You had locked me In, I know,” I said, “—or thought you had. I found my door bolted when I went back to my room. I wasn’t In it when you bolted it.” I added. “I was asleep in the library. When I awakened I went outside for a moment. The door was unfastened.' I bolted it when I came In.” ' Jed was more disturbed, and he showed it “Where did you go?”- he as^ed. “I walked around,” I said,, “down bj the river.” His discomposure became acute. He looked sick. !.'Where were the dogs?” I asked. “I didn’t see any.” He tried to smile. “They were with me.” he' said. “I wjs out, and you locked me Out That’s why I have been so indignant. -I came back and found I had to break into the house. I- was in a hurry. You wouldn’t have liked it .yourself.” “I don’t like it myself. I don’t like being locked in my room. I’ll not-have ft. I thought I had given you to un derstand that it would not be toler ated. I do not want to annoy the fam ily by copaplaints, but I will not en dure that.” “Well, you can see the occasion for It Yon were loose last night and your conscientious pfflciousness made trouble.

' I-frequently walk around the groiinds to clear my head and be able to do wbat is needed by Mt. Sidney.” My mind had jumped to a conclu sion. > “Were you at the pool last night?" I asked. ■ '‘•Yes,”, he said. - He was very ugly. “You seem to be a Paul Pry,”'li* said.. “ Yon ought to be manacled.” ->I wa3 not interested In Jed.- I was thinking of my figure =at the pool.

Wilson, officer in charge of the local United States navy recruiting sta-tion, has reecived letters from James M. Cox and W. G. Harding, democratic anti ■ republican nominees, respectively, for the presidency of the United States in which both gave the navy, their highest indorsement as a means of training. In his letter Governor Cox states: “Not only is it evident that a brief period of service is offered to the YO1Iiig man. but opportunity comes to •him in this service for a better edu cation and an increase in his earning capacity fcr future life ,all of which will raise to z higher level our al ready praiseworthy standard or citi zenship. The liberal education .that comes by travel and meeting other men in all parts of the world is available and the associations are in deed attractive.” Commenting on the advantages of fered by the navy Senator Harding had the following to 3ay: “I think better of the service in the navy for the young men of America than I am able to tell you. Under tile mod ern plan of instruction and training, service in the navy literally fits yxmng Americans for practical life and gives them a wholesome conse cration for service to the country. Apart from . these things of abiding worth, there is a fine opportunity for ,all young men in the navy to en large the horizon of their views and their experience. If I had a son I 001 }Irl wish him' no better fortune than a wholesome period of service in the navy of the United States.” Hickory Schools to Open.

When chickens are first put into a brooder they should be confined under or around the hover by placing- a board or wire frame a. few Inches outside (this would not apply to the small outdoor colony brooders). The fence or guard should be moved gradually farther away from the hover and dis carded entirely when the chickens are three or four days old, or when they have learned to ,return to the source of heat, poultry • specialists In the United States department of agricul ture say. Young chickens should be closely watched to see that they do not huddle together or get chilled. They should be allowed to run on the ground whenever the weather is favorable, as they do mhch better than when kept continuously on cement or board' floors. Weak chickens should usually be killed as soon as noticed,’ as they rarely make good stock, while they may become carriers of disease. Brooders should be disinfected at least once a year, and more frequently if the chickens brooded in them have had any disease. FOR SUCCESS WITH POULTRY Good Stock Is First Fundamental for Best Results on Farm—Dual- Purpose Breeds. Best. The first fundamental of successful fa'rm poultry keeping is good stock. Of course, it is well known that farm ers may at times get fairly good re sults from ordinary stock, but. at the same time It must be remembered that with the same care and attention better results will be obtained from good stock. By good stock is not necessarily meant stock which has been bred for exhibition ’ purposes, it means standardbrcd stock, • which by virtue of its pure breeding has been systematically developed and Avhich is better fitted therefore to give the re sults expected of it and to yield a more uniform and more desirable product. On the average farm the poultry flock is expected to furnish eggs and' Plymouth Rock Is Good for Eggs and Table. poultry for the- farmer’s 'table as well as to produce a surplus for sale. For that reason the so-called general-pur pose breeds, such as the Plymouth Rock, Wyandotte, and Rhode Island Red, which are good layvtrs and at the same time make excellent carcasses for the table, are recommended by poultry specialistc of the United States department of agriculture as best suited to the farm needs. A further advantage of good stock; is the fact that the owner will take a pride in such a flock which he will not feel In a flock of mongrels, and as a result he will give the hens better care. CULL UNPROFITABLE LAYERS it Will Help Increase Profits for Breeder to Dispose of AU Hens in Poor Gondition. While some hens will prove to he profitable, others are kept at' a loss and are a drag, on the profitable hens in the floCk. It is important,', there fore, to cull out'tljp unprofitable pro ducers, as this will increase the profit realized from the flock as a whole: Any hens found to be sickly or in poor condition should be culled as soon as discovered'. • INJURIOUS LITTLE RED MITE Insects Sap Vitality of Hen by Suck ing Her Blood and as a Conse quence She Won’t Lay.

Every animal In a’ herd of grade Hol- steins mid Jerseys reacted to the tuberculosis test. The herd consisted of 14 cows, two calves and two bulls. Upon post-mortem examination six ,of the animals showed such extensive lesions that the entire carcass was condemned and destroyed.

THe fact that every ani mal in the herd reacted and showed lesions makes the case one of the most striking ever recorded. Swine Owners Cautioned.

Is Rapid Grower, Recovers Guickly After Gutting • and Furnishes More- Pasturage’During Winter and (n Fall and Spring. Peruvian alfalfa has decided advan tages over other varieties for those sections of the United States where it will grow, say forage experts of the United States department of agricul ture. Tliis Should be taken as apply ing to the Cruelf or hairy Peruvian al falfa and not to the-so-called smooth leaved Peruvian alfalfa. This later name the specialists regard as unfor tunate, as it leads to confusion in the seed trade and gives unscrupulous dealers an opportunity to make exces sive profits on mixed seeds. The “smooth Peruvian is hardly distin guishable from common alfalfa.!’ The principal advantages of Peru vian as compared with common al falfa are its more rapid growth, quick recovery after cutting, and ability to grow in cooler weather, thus furnish ing* more pasturage during the winter* and in late fall, and early spring. The territory in which common al falfa could be profitably, replaced by Peruvian Includes a comparatively narrow strip down the Pacific coast and along the Mexican border and the gulf, thence up the Atlantic coast to the vicinity-of Charleston, S, C.

Tlte ' tailboard: CDUNIfiY GWE ND FfifiKSE “America’s Part in the World War an .“ Obligation to Ourselves" Is the Declaration Made, and . Facts Uphold It. In his latest address Senator- Hard- mg,devoted a few words to the presi dent’s favorite theory that the United States is bound by some- sort of prom ise, con tract, or other form of obliga tion to carry out his particulor scheme for joining the United States to the le»gue. Senator Harding’s reply Is simple and convincing. * He says the truth is that America’s part In. the world war-Was an: obliga tion to ourselves, performed in sym pathy with assgeiated—not allied— powers and our part in winning the war was a manifestation of American conscience, not the fulfillment of,a written obligation. Such is the truth and it is impor tant to insist upon it because the con trary has been asserted repeutedly in high quarters and has already been echoed In the speeches of Governor Cox. The people of the United States believe in keeping promises and if the assertion that the United States made any sort of promises, expressed or implied, which bind the country to the league is believed by any number of voters those voters will vote to the best of their ability to make that promise good. Senator Hardiftg touched the wfcole question at a vital point when he con trasted the words associated and al lied. TIiis country made no alliance with any other nations before the war, during the war or after the war. The only promise implied in the declara tion of war was that the war would be fought to a finish and its Cesulty6Set cured. Everything contained in the treaty of peace which goes beyond that goes beyond anything, that the United States , agreed to or can be bound to. Whatever else is done wBI 6e a matter of new and independent agreement.—Detroit Free Press. Put Europe First, After, the signing of the armistice' President Wilson went to Europe and' spent nearly eight months Sn Europe- or on the ocean between, neglecting Amerijtaw affairs, and' letting his Own country drift, in the midst of serious unsolved'problems. When he returned he plunged' the country into a dispute hetweeui tlte executive amd the senate, not over- American but .European af fairs. From-December; 1913. to July. 1920, President Wilsoni has' neglected his own country, and thought of Eu rope before America. There is. no- remedy except the election of a Repub lican president and'a‘Republican can* gress. Governor Cox’s Premise. Governor Cox has made a publitr pledge , to carry out the foreign pcJV j icies of President Wilson: “What her promised,” 3uiid the governor,-“I shafli. it elected; endeavor with . all my strength to- give.” * The country can expect nothing fronr. this except- an attempt to* involve the- United States in all tKe dangers of tire alliance known as the League-of Na tions. Ari expiicit promis* of this sort no amount ef soft pedaling later cstn modify. Wilson- Fooled by Premiers.

Bickett called all the farmers liars by saying that "any man who did not believe |in the=Revaiuation Act was a liar and the truth was not in him ” He got by with this temporarily. He developed into a great military Governor, and told his troops to go to Graham and "shoot straight." They went and shot straight at an empty cornfield and some innocent, peaceable citi zens. They got one man and wound ed some, and this being such a bowl ing success, that we suppose he was feeling his military oats so much that he decided be would take a hand in running the United States Army and ordered a crimial par doned and sentenced him to enlist in the Army or Navy.

SEPTEMBER 15,1920 NUMBER 10 I Polilical Freedom Is An Issue Of Campaign. uhii J. Parker Republicancandi- ; ^lltc for governor, spoke in the court Iiotwv at Shelby. Hediscuss- I ctl »iate and national issues, especi ally !he revaluation act. He said his prediction about the effect of the revaluation act liadbeed vertified by the report of the state commission. He contended that under the reval- j nation act the railroads would pay le-s tax. The banks would pay I Iesii- The owners of personal pro perty would pay less, while real [ estate would pay mpre. 1 'This j shows, "fc*aid he, “ that the effect jof I the revaluation act is to throw* a I areatcr burden on the farmer. He will pay between 50 and 60 per cent |iiiore taxe>.” But p’robably the mortiiiierestingpart of Mr. Parkers spieecli was that part which dealt [with the treatment of 0 . M ax [ Gardner by the machine. H e said: “One of the great issues of this [ campaign is political freedom. The [question which presents itself to [ every man who loves his state is [whether theSimmons-Watts mach- Iinc should be allowed to strike not [only the Democratic party, but the Istateof North Carolina. The poli- ltica! history of this country shows ltliat whenever a party holds power (for a long number of years it devol- Iops a machine which stifles the pro-' Igress of the party, and uses the gov- Ieriiient of the state not for the pur pose of bettering the condition of t ie people, but for serving the pur- Iliose of the machine. “This is what has happened . in North Carolina. The reason that Sneliave done so little for agricul ture, for roads, for schools and for labor is because the reactionary S mmous-Watts machine has its ^rip upon the Chroat of the Demo- iratic party and of the state. The Irogressive and forward looking leu of the state will not crawl in Se dust before-Jthe .machine and he machine grinds them to powder. "The only way to get rid of the Ihachine is to defeat the Democra- |ic party at the polls. As soon, as lie machine looses the state offices I will go to pieces and the progres sive element of the Democratic arty will have a chance to get con- jrol of that party and make it a bower for good in the state. But gjou cannot beat the machine by gliting within the party. The Ieasiii is that no man is strong e- liougli by himself to overcome a ma- |liiue whose ramifications extend into every precinct of the state. Roosevelt was the most popular Republican who ever lived, but he »uld not break the power of the Republican machine in 1912. Kitch- 1 was probably the most popular fiau in NorthiCarolina but he dash- p hinirielf to pieces against the Jiiiiinions-Watts machine in the Ijlne year and his friends have been proscribed by the machine ever fince. "Uiie of the greal evils of the uacliine rule is that it deprives the Itate of the services of its best men. jThe machine never forgets. The |iau who lights it is consigned to |temal oblivion and his friends who Supported him are led to the guillo tine whenever they offer themselves I0r public office. Max Gardner is a fast in Jicj1Jti jje supported Kitch- In j". 1912. In the eyes of the Paehine that was an unpardonable I111, Now, Max is a splendid fellow. IIe Js a man 0f character and Ibihty. Iie js personally one of he most popular men in the state, he aspired to the governorship and the machine had left hands, off, Ie would have beat Morrison by j'lousands of votes. But eight years Igo the machine had promised ,the peruorship to Morrison. The 7Md went down the line'that Gard- w was to be 'slaughtered at all “ b and not even his great ability Pd popularity could stand against I e machine. I shall not tell you T0"' they beat him. You know the Pmthodri that were used, methods I Mt caused the cheeks of every Ioy- soii of North Carolina to blush ffii shame and righteous indigna- [ r nian asked me the other day Ph ,r<iner couId ‘come back’. Ith\ tlePencIs upon the outcome of U fnelectlon- The machine will Rh * same methods against me L theY used against Gardner. If IdTv Sllcceed they will do for Gard- IforrV-dIlllsfrientis what they did I hTltclllu and his friends. There ka,° ‘? pe for the Progressive young las ii, le Democratic party as long L o maehme is ln control; If, on I ler band, I am elected, the machine will go to pieces and Gard ner and the progressive younger ele ment of the Democratic party will take charge of that party and will make it stand for something other than an office-holding machine. “N othingbetter ever happened to the Repu blican party than its de feat in 1912. The defeat killed the Barnes machine and the men in the Republican party who stand for something have come to the front. Nothing better could happen to the Democratic party than for the Sim- mons-Watts machine to be beaten at this election. “I ask every forward-looking North Carolinian to join with me in this election and help me beat the machine. Ipledge my admin istration to a program of construc tive reforms to which every progres sive citizen of North Carolina can and will subscribel Uet us lay a- side partisan prejudice and vote for political freedom and for the good of N orth Carolina;’’ Political Publicity. The newspoper man has a lot of friends when a political campaigh looms .up in the distance. Fellows who never prevously had manifested interest in him begin to show him attentions. People'who never seem ed to care much about his news paper, suddenly shows an "intense desire to secure its support. This is perfectly natural, since the newspaper offers the means by which candidates can touch the greatest number of voters. The expense of reaching them through advertising is trifling, compared with the cost of circularizing by: letter. Nothing in any newspaper is read more attentively than theI r political advertising, sulce the vot ers all want to know what a candi date has to say for himself. ....... When the wire pullers appeal to people’s prejudice, the honest man through a newspaper ad. ’ A vigor ous campaign of facts and reason in this form is a hard one to beat. The newspaper travels faster and it reaches many more homes than any political heeler can touch. A- frank, sincere newspaper statements appeals to the public mind. People feel that a candidate wiH stand by a statement made in printer’s ink.' T heylikethe man who comes out in ,the open with a positive statement of his views.. In a campaign fought through advertising, facts and logic and reas on stand the best chance. Narrow and prejudiced views do not sound well in cold type. But clear, and constructive ideas, intelligent point of view and the appeal to reason, win the attention of the voters as they sit down at their leisure to read and think. This way of play ing the political.games is peculiary attractive to the ■ man of ideas and the campaigner for good goverment. —Exchange. Six Are Born In Saine House With, in 3 Hours. Louisville, Ky., Aug. 28.—Bunk Jones was pacing the floor, as pros pective fathers are wont. ‘ ‘Triplets” was announced. But Jones continu ed to pace the floor, as prospective fathers are wont. An hour passed. “ Twins.” Jones did not altar his course. Another hour, passed. “A granddaughter. ’ ’ And there are six howling good reasons why rBunk Jones farmer, near Murry, is “all smiles.” Before his wife, who is 42 years old, gave birth to triplets, Mrs. W il lie Jones, daughter-in-law, was sent, for. A n hour after arrival of the triplets Mrs. Jones presented grand- daddy with twins. In the mean while, Mrs Isiah Parks, a daughter had: been in to attend’ the two moth ers. W ithinlessthan an hour she, too, had become a mother, a daiugh- er completing the sixth born in the same house within three hours. The Reoulicans are fondly hoping that Franklin D.. Roosevelt’s health wiilenablehimtofill every speaking date made for him up to the time polls open. ■ : . Vt ~fe A “Wet” Catspaw. Governor Cox. we are told, is a ‘ wet” candidate. That is to say. he is against Prohibition. He may not indeed,, abrogate the Eighteenth Amendment, nor reverse the .decisi-' on of the Supreme Court But he is “ wet,” and_ his nomination was a triumph for the “ Wem” and his e'ec tion would make the “ wet” victory complete. So- we are told, not by his opponents but by his friend, who chortle in their glee at-the way in which th hyputit over Mr. Bryan and the Anti Saloon League b$ no minating hini for the Presidency. • Now, we do not know nor do wt particular; care what Governor. Coxs personai'cpnvictions on the subject are, nor what his attitude is toward the Eighteenth Amendment; nor yet what it would be it he were elected President. To our mind the ratili cation of the Supreme Court; have dispose of the matter, exception.' of course, so iur as it is remitted to Congress for possible changes in the enforcement act. B utitdoes seem to us that it so vo'ubiy and vocifer ously exploting Governor Cox’s al leged humidy, the various local bos ses who nominated him are simply using him as a catspaw to dull their own parochial chestnut fire. They know perfectly well that, the election of a “ wet” President would not and could not reopen the saloons and breweries and distilleries. But they also know that the “ turning down” of Mr. BryaW and the nomi nation of a reputedly “ wet” candi date will greatly enhance and con firm the local prestige and power of Mt. Murphy in New York, and Mr. Nugent in New Jersey, and Mr. Brennam in Chicago, and the other machine-operating bosses in the largo cities. That iSswhy all those gentlemen were in favor of Mr. Cox and why they got together at.French Lick and laid plans for hornswoggl- the. cany,entioninto-nominating him ;' ;It will confirm their grip upon' their local State machinees; and perhaps it will embolden their j follows to sell booze on sly with a little more assurance than they wonld have felt bad a “dry” candi date been nominated’ That is all there is in it. Of course, the playing of so much- giganic and cynical a bunkogame upon the ‘ ‘wet” is not a-self-redeeming performance nor doe| it invest with the beautv of holiness the nomination which was made by the bosses for rnch a purpose,;. It makes the whole busi ness seem .unspeakable sordid and mendacious Mr. Bryan was a least sincerefji his advocacy of a plank approving the Prohibition Amend ment. and he reasonably held that its adoption, would go far toward assuring-'effective enfofcement of the law / But the “ wet’\bosses did not dffre to adopt an anti-prohibitiOn oiank, but Ief; the platform silent on that.-subj-ct, so that..the .Darjty could say “Good Lord!'” and “Good ■ levil!” according to its : plight; and then nominate a man whom they :ould exploit as a “ wet” for home consumption.

We get the in formation from pne of the leaders that at least two ladies will be plac ed on the ticket—one for the treas urer’s office and one for register of deeds. There is some talk of a woman for the legislature. That is a pretty story from Ten-* nessee, where Robert Bums, a county boy 22 years old and the Republican representative from a mountain county, held in his vote the destiny of woman’s suffrage in the United States this year. Only one vote was needed to carry the measure in the house and he held ballot.. He waited long to know what to do. A t last his old motherIwrote him a letter and this mother’s lettersettled the: matter and he en franchised a nation of women. No he didn’t but his mother did.—Ex. Hon. Cameron Morrison was no minated over Mr. Gardner because he was against woman suffrage. He is still against it^ and he finds now thousands of women with ballots in their hands ready to vote. H e is in a great dilemma. He cannot ask them for their votes and yet he must have their votes; to be elected. The' fact is clear as can be, ■ that Mr. Parker willjbe our next Gover nor. The unstdple, see-saw game Mr. Morrison has played and the shady treatment given Mr. Gardner in the primary has hurt his chances with both the Democrats and all the women. Parker is making a great head-way; in the east and the West is strongly! for him. He stands well with the farmers and the work ers in .the mills and everywhere.. Throwing politics aside and Parker is nearer the hearts of people than his opponent. He stands four square to every wind that blows, he belongs to no ijnachine, his aims are for the people’s good, his abilir ty is great and jit looks now as if he will sweep ttye state by the aid of the former democrats who are sick and tired of the machine meth- ds of his opponent and his backers. —Concord Observer. the Northwest, and come back to live and die in-Dixie.”.

The County Commissioners at a special meeting last Thursday or dered that the, tax for the year 1920 be levied as follows: State school'tax 13c on $100. County school tax 17c on $100. Connty ordinary Sc on $100. Court house and jail 4c on $1.00. Bridges 3c on /100. Road tax special 25c on $100. " Total for all purposes 70c. on the $100, as against $1.75 last year. A special tax for.the Cana high school of 17c on the $100 and 51c. on each poll. Fork high school 14^50. on the $100 and 43c. on each poll. Advance high school 14c. on the $100 and 42c. on each poll. Farmington high school tic. on the $100 and 33c. on each poll. Farmington scliool bonds 7c. the $100 and 21c. on'each poll. The total poll tax for county and state will be only $1.77 instead of ’S3, as heretofo:e.

WOULD FORCE LOWER WAGES Easy to See That a Flood of Cheap European Goods Made by Ill-Paid Operatives Will Surely Follow Democratic Success. In Republican fashion Senator Hard ing gives due and timely notice to the workmen of this country that the American job is in danger—that gen eral unemployment threatens through an excessive growth of imports. This is that they may take notice thereof and govern themselves accordingly. The Democratic newspapers are call ing the senator’s - bugle note on the necessity of protecting American labor “a return to the tariff graft,” which fools nobody but Democrats. Prac tically, the German mark’s gold value, in which all American commodities are priced, is 2.15 cents; the gold value of the French franc 7.20 cents, and the Italian lira 5 cents. Marks thus have' less than one-tenth of their normal value, francs about a third, and lira one-quarter. American workers for wages may well consider these figures in view. of the Democratic platform declaration for a tariff for revenue only. The wages of the German workman before the war were about half of a like American workman. Now the German Is paid in depreciat ed marks and although he gets more marks his actual wage is reduced from two-thirds to three-fourths. If he got $1 a day in gold in the first half of 1914 he now gets 21 cents a day gold. A similar reduction in wages iias oc curred in France, Italy and Great Britain. ' The workers of America can figure out for themselves what will be the effect here when German factories, manned by 25-cents-a-day workers get fully under way. The only bar to the entry of their goods in this country >s a tariff for revenue only, say the Democrats; as soon as the needs of this government are met, these cheap goods can flow in without hindrance. Intelligent men need not be told by any newspaper what will happen. Wages must drop to meet the low 25- cents-a-day cost abroad. Already in coming goods are filling up warehouses of American ports. And this is mere ly the beginning, of the movement. A Republican protective tariff alone can save American labor and American markets from foreign competition. Cox Would Favor Profiteers. Governor Cos’s declaration in favor of Si tax on the total volume of busi ness, In place of the excess profits tax, has brought forth widespread unfa vorable comment in the West, where the plan Is looked upon as of the great est benefit to the profiteers, and in di rect contradiction of the governor’s earlier threat to exterminate the prof iteer. The Cox proposal. it has already been pointed out, is one to make the rich richer and the poor poorer, and would work untold hardships upon the man who is operating a small and growing business. Call for Deeiaratlon Prom Cox. The Post seems to be trying to make votes for Sir. Cox as an anti-Wilson reservationist. Will it have the cour age or the fairness to demand of Mr. Cox that he declare himself to be such? The country knows where the Repub lican senators and most of the Demo cratic senators stand on that question. It also knows where Mr. Wilson stands. The only disingenuousness discoverable is in the .Democratic can didate’s silence.—New Tork Tribune. Polish Question Not Political. Thei Polish question is not, as See- retary_Colby says it is, a political ques tion. It is not an issue In this cam paign, and ought not to be an issue. The friends of Poland should address themselves to all parties and to the heart of the American nation. They should disregard the advice of the political secretary of state, who aban dons the American doctrine, that po litical differences in the Un ied States end at-the boundary lines. H a rd in g on S u ffrag e. “We welcome women into full par ticipation in the affairs of govern ment and the activities of the Repub lican party. We earnestly hope that Republican legislatures in states which have not yet acted upon the suffrage amendment will ratify the amendment to the end that ail of the women of the nation of voting age may participate in the election of 1920. which is so important to the welfare of our country.”' Truth About Suffrage.

Hiiriw Eye Ragrir Co., IMim INJURY AVOIDED BY WHEELS As Beet Is Pulled From Ground Knives on Each Sfde Cut Off Tops of Leaves—Easy to Harvest Profitable Crop. Pulling sugar beets Is one of the Iilg jobs which confront the ,grower nf this very profitable crop. It Is a lot of work, and work that tnkes time and energy at least, nnd often costs money us well. A iiiim In the beet fields of Culiforuhi has designed a machine whloli he thinks Is a wonder for doing this hard nnd expensive task. Instead of using inclined rods, on the principle of the gntheriug points of n corn bind er, for pulling the beets, this man uses padded wheels for this purpose. . Cross Sectional View. The upright V-slmped portion of the accompanying Illustration Is n cross Kectioiiiil view through the padded wheel pullers, Tlie axles of these wheeled pullers extend down to the inner hubs of the mniu driving wheels of the itinchlne, and lire here driven or revolved by these mniu wheels. Grotiters or diggers go along abend of the pulling wheels, on each side of the row of beets, and loosen the grniiiid around them so that they will be easier to pul) wlien' the pulling wheels of the machine engnge them. From the drawing it will be noticed that the pulling wheels are set so the lower portions are much closer to gether than nre the upper portions. As the machine passes forward over the beets In n row, these pulling Beet Topper and Puller. wheels nre rotated backward and up ward, and In so rotating they lift beets out of the ground. Cuts Off Leaves. So located between the pulling wheels that they pass Just over the top of the beet are two knives, one on each side. Thus, ns the machine Is drawn forward nnd the beet Is lift ed up, these knives cut off the top or leaves of the beet; thus It is pulled and topped at one and the same time by the one machine, these being two separate operations in the ordinary hand method of harvesting beets. IGURING capacity o f sil o In Estimating Diameter and Height Allow Each Cow Four to Five Square Feet of Surface. If your cows nre fed 40'pounds sil age dally' for six months they will need nearly 7,500 pounds or a silo capacity of four tons each. In esti mating diameter and height, allow each cow four to live square feet of feed ing surface In the silo. Ten cows would require a feeding surface of 50 feet. A silo eVght feet In diameter would have a cross section or feeding surface of 50 square feet. For ten cows therefore, a silo should be eight feet In diameter. Fifteen cows should have a silo 10 feet In diameter (If SO feet high It has a capacity of 26 tons nnd if 32 feet high, -51 tons); 20 cows should have a silo 12 feet In diameter. Forty cows .will need a sllo 10 or IS feet In diameter and about 80 feet high. treatment of army worms Pests Can Be Kept Out of Field by Plowing Up a Furrow in Front o* Them. After army worms once get into a field there is nothing practical which can be done to stop them .' They can he kept out of a field, however, by plowing a deep furrow In front of them. Plow a furrow about eight inches deep and square up one side of the furrow with a spade. Every ten or fifteen feet In the furtxw dig a stiallow posthole. As fast as the army worms accumulate In the furrow, and especially In the postholes, sprinkle them with kerosene. iArmy worms move fast and It Is necessary to ap ply this treatment promptly or they will have moved Into the threatened field and there Is nothing whatever which can be done. If the trench treatment Is applied,promptly it proves very satisfactory. GRAIN FOR EWES AND LAMBS Unless Animals Are . Being Condi tioned for Market Pasture and Forage Are Sufficient. It the ewes and iambs have good pasture and forage crops it will sel dom pay to feed any grain feed, unless Hie lambs nre being conditioned for ton summer market.

Illustration Gives Good Idea of Con* structlon of Infplemeht Which Can Be Put Together at Small Cost —It Kills Weeds. It sometimes happens that Innd gets very lumpy or full of clods and, to get the best results, these clods should be mashed or ground up. To do this a liome-iiinde clod crusher will be found to do the -work In a most sat isfactory manner. The accompanying drawing shows how such a crusher can be made at home with but slight expense. It is made by taking two two by eight Object Lesson for United States Found in the Situation in Poland. Float or Clod Crusher. ’ pieces eight feet long and spiking two by six pieces on the ends and also on top. To snve n little expense n sled tongue can be used, nnd will answer just as well as to make one. A four by four piece is placed between the (loots" nnd Is Iield In place by lag screws In each end. This piece should have teeth inserted Into its lower side which are mnde from flve-sixteentlls- Indi round iron, and should stick out about two imd one hnlf inches. Holes should be bored ,Into the four by four, slightly smaller than the iron, and should slant’ backward. A lever can be bolted to this piece, which by mov ing front or back will press the teeth more or less into the soil. There could be n sent put onto It, but It is better to stand up, as by so doing. If any rub bish gets under lt,- a step forward, will raise the hind end and let the obstruction out, says a writer In The Farmer. This machine Is also a fine thing to go over'a corn field just before the com comes up and will kill more weeds than a drag. IMPORTANCE OF MALE BIRDS Exert Much Influence In Producing Qualities of Offspring—Two Classes of Hens. Doctor Pearl, formerly of the Maine experiment station,. makes mention of the fact that among the high produc ing hens there are two classes, one class having the ability to transmit their high laying qualities to their daughters and the other class being poor breeders. It simply amounts to the selection by means of the trap nest off the lilgh layers. Thesb In turn are mated to sons of high layers and the progeny of tlie mating is again tested as to egg production. It is agreed by the most careful observers that the male bird exerts a very Important In fluence In the producing qualities of the offspring, and that a good hen mated to a poor male would likely give very Indifferent results. DAY FOR DIGGtNp POTATOES Quality Is Influenced to Consjderable Extent by .Manner in Which . . They Are' Dug. The table quality of. potatoes is In fluenced to a considerably extent by- the way they are dug nnd stored. Potatoes should be dug if possible, on n clear day, when the soil is- not wet enough to ciing to them, advises the college. They should be left in the field only long enough to become dry, then stored In a place which is cool and rather moist, and ns dark as possible. Under-ordinaryAome storage condi tions. because of tbe danger of. decay, it is not wise to have the potatoes more than two and' one-half or three feet deep, either In a pile or In a .box, says an agricultural college potato man. FLOOR OF PORTABLE HOUSES it Should Be at Least One Foot From Ground, Open and Free—Cement .Baffles Rats. Floors of portable poultry colony houses should be at least one foot from the ground, and the space under-’ neath should be open and free. Per manent brooder bouses should 'have cement floors, and the doors and win dows should be screened with one-inch mesh wire fencing. If such precau; tions are taken, rats and weasels usu ally do little damage. SALT PREVENTS INDIGESTION Used by Experienced Shepherds in Chaftging Sheep From OId Pas ture to New. Many experienced shepherds mix salt with air-slaked lime, a little more lime than salt to prevent indigestion and bloat when tbe sheep are changed to new pastures. - On some farms to bacco stems'are; dipped in a strong salt brine and no additional salt is given to the sheep. This helps to con trol parasitic. Infection and is benefi cial to the ewes and lambs. COVENANT WITHOUT WEIGHT “Arguments" of Those Who Would In. volve This Country in European Broils Will Hardly Be Convinc ing to the Voters. “If the United States had joined the League of Nations this war In Poland would not Iiave happened.” This . is one of the choicest spec! mens of the logic now employed to bolster up the attempt to Involve the United States In European politics. The argument goes like this: "The nations of the world cannot make war if they get together and agree to keep pence. The refusal of the United States to join others In this great peace scheme has destroyed the plan Iiecause its success depended upon the co-operation of all the great nations, and particularly the United States, the richest nnd most powerful republic. If the United States had gone Into the longue it would have begun to operate, and It. couifl have prevented the war between the Poles nnd the Iwlshevlki.” .Ttist how the league eonld have kept the bolslieviki hack fs not explained. The bolshevik! are not members of the Teague and are not beholden to it If the league is In existence, as Its supporters clainv, then It fs bound to operate and restrain' the bolshevikl. But the league is not operating. The supreme council and' the council of ambassadors are trying to find a way to check the bolsherfk rush. These councils really represent governments and are 'composed of men who have tlie power to b!E«I governments. Hence, If anything can be done they must do ft. The covenant of tfie League of Na tions recrufros all members to defend the territory of each member against Invasion, and to sustain its existing government. The bol'sheriki invaded Poland, bent upon destroying its exist ing government. The statement is mnde that nil important nations on earth are members of the league, the only slackers being “the United States, Turkey. Germany, Mexico ami Eussia.” Thus, the civilized world fs practically united in the paper league, and is obliged to protect Poland. Poland’s safety is guaranteed on paper. Poland cannot be Invaded—on paper. Why Is not Poland actually safe?—Washing ton Post. Democrats Deplore Cox’s Stand. The opinion in Washington as to Mr. Cox’s 32,000-word address of ac ceptance is that the Ohio governor could have said ft In three—“Wilson —that’s all.” His abject surrender to the president’s Ideas has taken the heart out of his admirers, and with most of them it’s all over but the mourning. They reason that it was a desperate choice for Mr. Cox. Neither he nor they could see any Is sue he could advance with a reason able chance of winning so he bent the hinges of the knee to make sure of tlie Wilson following. It's the rate of exchange on Novem ber' 2 that chiefly interests Murphy, Taggart. Brennan and their gang. “Tariff Always an Issue.” “The tariff will he one ‘ of the big issues of the campaign,” said Senntor New. “President McKinley never spoke a truer word than when he said. ‘Tlie tariff will always be an Issue.- Under our present schedule a German merchant comes to this country with Ills goods, pays tariff of about SG on the hundred'dollars’ worth where he used to pay $22 and goes back with a big profit after paying all expenses. Tiiis brings his goods in direct compe tition with our own and in addition we lose heavily on the lower tariff rate.” “What did White say yesterday?” Is Cox’s first question every morning to his private secretary. Cox Never Strong Candidate.- An Interesting fact for the voters to remember is tliat Mr. ’ Cox has never been elected to office in Ohio, or elsewhere for Hint matter, on pure ly national issues; nnd still another is that he lias never been elected In a straightaway campaign. In each instance that Mr. Oox has won. It has been In an election where there has been a third ticket In the field, or a split party, which eased his way into office. And finally, almost In variably. even when elected, he has run behind the rest of his ticket.— Exchange.

CHAPTER VI—Continued. —7— Dr. BroivneII suggested the winter trip to the South. Mr. Sidney's vital ity needed careful nursing. It was im portant to protect him from winter rigors, even as they could be modified in a sickroom. The doctor said he himself felt the need of a change. He Iirescrihed one for both his patient and himself. He and Mr. Sidney made tlie arrangements: Mrs. Sidney and lsobel were to go. Arrangements went ahead rapidly, and a sense of desolation increased within me. Romantic folly came to its accounting. The fairy story was to be ended without youth’s necessary “They lived happily ever after.” The yacht came up to its mooring and lay by the landing for a week while the provisioning was being cared for. Hundreds of bottles of Mr. Sid ney’s fine wines were put on board— for the unspeakable Jed. 1 lsobel was eagerly anticipatory. Mrs. Sidney, I thought, seemed merely to be resigned, ivjth trepidation. Doctor Brownell said he was depriv ing me of an interesting voyage. If he did not go, I should have been needed, but he thought it important for his efficiency that he conserve his strength over the winter, and he asked me to act as one of his assistants. That was flattery. It was intended to be so. Mrs. Sidney was the one who of fered me the real balm. “John,” she said, “we shall want you with us. AVe shall miss you.” “Don’t you think, Mrs. Sidney,” I suggested, “that now we can consider this fiction terminated?” “You mean your engagement to Iso- bei?" . “Surely.” “No, please," she said. “On the boat ihere will be no problems. The community is too compact and must lie considerate. .But when wo come back. I'll need you just as before.” Isoliel said : “Good-by. John. Be at the landing when we return. You’ll be the first person I want to see.” I ought not to have been so discon solate. These were fair portents, but a portent does little to console a loss. I stood on the little dock and watched the yacht go down the river. And wlion it had disappeared below the. point of land south of the pool, all the world was sad and life had no pros pers to give it value. Charles drove me to the city. I was a bit of human driftwood for a week. It did not matter that they were com ing back. They were gone; that was the disaster. It was in the present; the future is too ambiguous for conso lation or comfort. I went through a winter of ecstatic distress, trying to be efficient in my discharge of professional duties for Doctor Brownell and to be profession ally composed in aspect and mind. I had an anguished delight in my experi ences. My loneliness was my most acute pain and my most cherished comfort. I did not want to profane the emotional solemnity of so much unhappiness by subjecting It frequent ly to the banal touch of sociable life in the ordinary. It was a joy to be profoundly unhappy. I had letters from the enchanted party in the South. Mrs. Sidney wrote twice a week with great affection. Mr. Siiiney once a week dictated to Jed a letter, cordial and jocular, for me. Oc casionally Jed added a sheet for him self, kindly or rasping as the mood had him at the time. lsobel also wrote, but with the great est eccentricity. While they were at Palui Beteh I hail a letter a day from her for four days. Then I had uosii- for two weeks, although they remained at Palin Beach. She made the post man a tragedian for me. In one letter this virginal imp wrote as if I were her lover, and that letter was as tlie song of the meadow lark from a^ snow-covered field in March, as the odor of Ulacs 011 a warm night in May. The Sidneys went to the Bahamas, but did not remain there. They wrote me that Mr. Sidney was well. Doctor Brownell was convinced that all were the better, himself included, for their experiment and that Mr. Sidney’s con dition would permit a longer voyage in iiis pleasant circumstances. Conse quently they were going on to South America. Mr. Sidney wanted to revisit Montevideo. From Montevideo I had a letter from Jed in a different tone from his sarcas tic banter and, taunting. I thought it was the letter of a man who had suf fered a shock. I could not say why I thought so, but I thought something Iiad disturbed him. I gathered the idea that something had changed Jed’s view of life. Early in March came letters saying that iny folks shortly would be on their way home, to arrive after our uncer tain spring had resolved itself securely into wpathor safe for a feeble man who had accustomed himself to luxurious temperatures. I Ilien felt invogorated, as by a promise in' March of hepatica. My winter was Iireaking up. I met' an old-time acquaintance, a dentist who had been several years In South America. His name was Alcott, Henry Alcott. Alcott and I never had been intimate or affectionate, but we greeted each other with ar(}or. I was lonesome. Ai- cott may have been.- There is a Ione- someness associated with a return to a place which has forgotten you and receives you as an alien. We had dinner together and enjoyed our meeting. There was furtively, at dinner, a reminiscent amativeness in his conversation. It suggested that he was smirking over exploits which he might relate if his restraints were broken down. He had a talent for merely carnal stories. ;They gained additional car nality in his telling'of them. I must have been given the record of haif the amatory experiences of South America for two years. Alcott told them with gusto. The one that fascinated me he did not emphasize more than the oth ers. As he told these stories he was trying to convey tlie charm of sex-ad- venture in Latin America. I think he wanted, by other Instances, to suggest his own adventures. A man named Sinclair-r-that was as Alcott rememljisred-the name, but it might, he sald.liave been St. John or Southgroye or Sergeant- or anything else, beginning with S; it was long be fore Aicott’s time In South America, and he merely told the story because it was a standardized episode—this man Sinclair, an Englishman or a man from the States, a fairly yovng man, anyway, and attractive, had fallen in love with a most charming young wom an of excellent family. Alcott could not remember whether this little ,episode had been staged in Rio or Valparaiso or Buenos Aires or where. - “It might have been in Montevideo,” Jie said. He did not emphasise the re mark. but the remark subsequently em phasized the story for me. Sinclair—Alcott thought we might as well agree upon Sinclair as ft name— had come out of somewhere or no where and had made a greaT deal of money. When he fell in love, he was an advantageous match. .Thf parents accepted him gladly. Sinclair and the young lady were married, but he did not have fhe Latin genius for isolating and guarding a woman. Neitiier did he have the genius for completely interesting and absorbing a woman. He wss In tfie shipping business. He was a "ery prac tical and business-ruled map, but, Al cott had heard, a genial and jpvial man nevertheless. Lovers came, as lovers will. The lady was too charming and had too much freedom. She w&s innocent and guileless, but her husband was- not the barrier needed. !Alcott said he thought she .was of ncftle sort and was betrayed by her idea that human beings had character. He was no*, precise as to the dilem ma she had entered, how or why she entered it. A man of reputation for discreet gallantry, a handsome man of attractive culture, was encouraged by her frank and unchilled attitude to ward him -to Jxy a desperate measure. There was a designing servant In the house. The lover corrupted the serv ant and was introduced into the house. The husband was supposed to be away on a business trip. He came back ahead of time, as husbands sometimes do, and stopped at his club before he went home. ■1 A friend of the lover saw him and, knowing wliat was being essayed at the man’s home, was aghast. He in duced other friends of the lover to try to detain the husband on one jovial pretext or another while he communi cated with tiip house. He was unsuc cessful in his attempt to use the tele phone. The other men were unsuccess ful iu their attempt to detain the hus band.' The friend began a race with the husband to reach the house. Un luckily for him. the cab he took not only was pulled by the faster horse, but. he being conscious that it was a race and the husband being uncon scious of It, his. driver had reasons given him for speed. It was unfortunate for the friend, because there was a tragedy later, and he was its victim. He arrived in time to warn the lover. The lady, appalled by the appearance of the lover, aghast to consider that she had been thought so unworthy as to attract these atten tions, and suffering from a confusion which blunted her judgment, had not called her servants, but had endeav ored with a dignity consciously self compromised to assert her self-respect and recall her lover's reason. In a turmoil of aliasing emotions she was engaged in this effort of self-con trol and assertion of dignity when the friend destroyed all composure by his announcement. The lover went in stantly ont of a window. The friend, having his own dignity of innocence, would not compromise his self-respect in this fashion. The husband arrived upon a scene which could not be ex plained. His wife, in spite of her ef forts at control, was in hysteria. The friend’s 'presence was inexplicable. Arrangements were made to satisfy honor. The friend was killed in a fash ion satisfactory to the police and whol ly satisfactory to the outraged hus band. There was the situation: an innocent man ■ dead, a wronged husband satis fied. the wife absolved by the romantic, lying statement of the man who sacri ficed himself, that in the transaction he 1J L As He Drank More He Made Them Personal. had-been presumptuous and the wife entirely guiltless—and the guilty lover gone scot-free. But the servant knew. Tremendous possibilities in this, Alcott thought. Then Alcott went to other stories. As he dpink more, he made them personal. I felt sick. It was outrageous for my recollection to emphasize Jiis merely incidental remark: “It might have been Montevideo.” CHAPTER VII. It may seem unreasonable that a story by a man incidentally met an fn- different acquaintance, had started a solvent at work on my mysteries. I am discussing, now, matters I had tried to keep out of my .consciousness. Things at Hartley had insisted upon an explanation which I did not want to find or give. I could not kill a curiosity, although I was shamed by it. I felt indecent in my almost involuntary conjectures re garding Mrs. Sidney. Circumstances did demand an explanation. Ko one could perceive the strange facts of the house and not speculate as to their cause. ItT might be unpleasant to do so,- but it was impossible not to do so. The predominating fact, however, was that my folks were coming home, and I knew that my affection for Mrs. Sid ney-had become a sacrament and my affection for Isohei a 'tragedy. The yacht brought these dear people to the landing in the river at Hartley house. I, in the city, was called on the telephone by lsobel. There was a dynamic value in the inspiration of her voice. She was, in her greeting, cheery and wholesome. It was a glad, dean “Hullo!’’—crisp and jovial. My people came home in May, and the day after their arrival I went to Hartley house with iny belongings, re-, joicing. in an ecstasy, to take the well- known ride into the wonderful world of fancy and endeared companionship, by the haunted pool and into the jovial household. Jed. I knew as soon ;as! I saw him. •t.-as changed—not violently but In some fashion and perceptibly. Mr. Sid ney was not. His geniality could not change. JIe made me feel that he hail missed me and was rejoiced to see me Mgain.

Sidney if she had ob served a change. She said it had not occurred to her to think of it as a change, but there had been a differ ence for whidi she was grateful. She remembered that when they were mak ing their visit to Montevideo Jed had gone down to the docks and had come back obviously disturbed. She had ob served the fact without giving much thought to it. She was not sure but that there had been an amelioration of Jed since then. She hart regarded the event as insignificant. It might have had a meaning, but if so, it was ob scured. Our days were of pleasant routine, but nevertheless, for reasons which I have tried to make perceptlhle if not explicit, the expectation was touched by dread. We had, for sev eral months, no outstanding incident or disturbing happening. Mr. Sid ney's health remained exceptionally good. He created a new interest in his life: he had not forgotten his visit to the penitentiary, and he was eager to do what he could for the convicts. Evidently he thought of his restrict ed life as something not wholly alien, except for its comforts, to theirs. The most that he could do was to send books and occasionally to prepare a Sunday afternoon program of music to be given by a small orchestra which he had brought out from the city. He never went back to the penitentiary, hut once a week Jed=Or I drove over, and Iio was interested in our accounts. Jed'was beginning to wear off the fine aspects of his good behavior. Some restless ambition tortured this man. and some power he had not com pletely used invited him to make full use of it. I had Implored Mrs. Sidney to in form me instantly if he became ob noxious again. I understood how im portant it was to protect Mr. Sidney's peace of mind, but I thought I had the upper hand 'of .Ted—although not un derstanding his case at ail—and could manage him. lsobel, knowing that she was pur- sued by the ridiculous ambitions of the man, found amusement in it. I found only moral nausea. I could see Jed's arrogance arising again, and twice a week I was awakened by his singing In the hallway as he came from drinking in Mr. Sidney's room. I was expecting something to happen.; and something did, but it was certainly not what I expected. It opened up a new phase of the mystery. One morning I was waiting for Jed to bring my coffee to the pleasant room which he early in our acquaint ance had recommended. Not the least cnrions thing about Jed was the fact that he seldom in his sober moments was anything but a perfect servant when service was demanded. It did not matter how serious and deadly the issue might be between Jed and me as men; when the matter lay between Jed and me as servant and served, Jed was the servant. Therefore, no mat ter how things might stand with us when, in the morning at an early hour. I went to tlie room Jed originally sug gested; I expected him to come with my coffee, and he always did. It was my habit to arise at seven o’clock and be dressed and in this room by half-past seven. I usually read a book until Jed brought the cof fee and the moriiing paper. It was a luxurious and restful experience to have this hour each day. This morning in question I was read ing placidly when looking out the win dow, I was startled to see a strange figure of a man on the lawn. He was close to the house, almost under my window, and I even could see that he wore earrings. He had a handkerchief around his neck. He was swarthy and black-Iiaired. I thought he was Span ish, and I thought he was a sailor. These wore only impressions, but they identified him for me later. He was passive and was looking up at the house in an interested but puzzled fashion, harmlessly, one would have said, if the wholly unexpected nature of his presence had not been in itself significant. Men -wearing earrings were not so common of sight as to allow one wear ing them to lie unnoticed. Strangers of any kind seldom Came our way. Strangers of his kind were extraordi nary. He was looking up at the win dows as if he sought fhe answer to something that had interested if not mystified him. I knew, in every in stinct, that he had not come in by chance bnt by design. I was looking, leaning forward, at this strange phennmenon on the lawn when a'Crash of metal and breaking china gave me a jltoek. Jed—whom I had not heard entoring—had seen over my shoulder the stranger on the lawn and had dropped (he coffee tray. “Yon knew tiiai man and yoa wanted to bill .1 tin.” (TO B E O lN T IN U ED .)

The car of meats will cost about $5,000. Last year on three cars of groceries and meats ordered and sold by the city the commissioners came within $i0 of breaking even, the pur chasing agent reports and Ghis is con sidered a splendid report in view of the large amount of goods handled.

SEPTEMBER 22. 1920. 5otne Of TheSights OfPresidential Greatness. Tlie N ew York Times, administra tion organ, says: "The Republicans have made the di eovery that a great man is really out of place in the Presidency.' The Tim es fails to get the point. What the Republicans claim is colos sal eeotism , self-assurance and auto cratic assumption, while satisfactory evidence of greatness to the hench men and organs of an exalted ego in oilice. is not necessary proof cf greatness. N or is it absence of those qualities, offence to every self-respec ting man, an indication of incapacity to reflecting people. G reatness and humility go-hand in hand. It was so in the case of Washington and Lincoln. N either of these men, eitheb person ally or through their press agents, claimed to be divinely inspired, or to be so much better and wiser than their fellow s that what they said and thought must be considered final by everybody. It is only in behalf of small calibered men in big bore place that such claims are setup by their disciples. The people have merely concluded: Well, if all this arrogance and false pretense and egotistical autocracy is greatness, give us mere man here after. B ut of course they very well know it is n o t greatness,, but mere pretense of super-humanity put forth by sycophantic politicians and news papers in behalf of the leader whose hand-me-down opinions they habitu ally present to the public. As for the public, it has finally “got wise” to the situation, and is no longer impressed with all this talk about omnisvience and even divinity in con nection with the nation's most power ful oilice holder. The Republicans not only do not be lieve that greatness is out of place in the Presidency, but they think it is appropriate in the cabinet'and in every other important post of nation al responsibility. They do not pro pose to stage a show in which star gets all the press notices, and is sup ported by nonetities and mediocritii s whose failings are expected to make the merits of the headliner glow with the brighter effulgence. The Republican party believes it has presented for the Presidencya far greater man than the present occupant of the office. And one of the signs of his bigness is that he is not a vain, egotistical autocrat who would ask or expect court journals like the Times to grovel at his feet and acecpt his utterances as the re sult of divine revelation. Senator Harding has the genuine sort of greatness the people of this country would like to see once more .in the Presidency of the United States.— National Republican. Will Stick To Degnified Campaign. In spite of much talk of a speak ing tour for Senator Harding, Sena tor New is authority for the State ment th a t absolutely npthing de finite has been arranged along that line. “ I t m ay well be,” says’he, “ that S enator Harding will speak elsewhere, but this is far the future to determ ine. Any statement of time or places he may speak is en tirely unauthorized.” Thus far the candidate has adhered; to his. front porch campaign, and the en- liusiaslic support he is receiving ist testim ony to its effectiveness. Sena tor J Ia rd in g h a s given no indication that th ere would be a departure I om the sty le of campaign Jbe map ped out soon after the nomination, and S en ato r New’s statem ent is pi oof th a t what others have had to say about the candidate ^speaking in other parts of the country are "ith o u t foundation. * Confusing. Funny, isn’t it, to have .members ®f the cabinet going about I the coun ty denouncing the Republican Con- Eress for cutting down their appro priations, and at the same time can didate Cox declares that the Republi- Pans have done nothing to lift the Durden of taxation! Sc! 1-complacency is tkeroat—of PKich failure. Bad Business. The Daily News is regarding the business wholly . from a business standpoint^ and Commissioner Max well isn’t. The business of govern ment is to make human: life and rights safe and to promote happi ness; in doing this it also protects private propertv. Private! property should support government. AU pro perty under any division of govern ment ghould pay its exact and ..equal contribution to the support' of that government. In exemptingall property in the state from any tax whatever for the support of the state government for this year the General Assembly has, the Daily News believes, been moved by political considerations. It may be contended that it is 'putting into effect a separation of source of rev enue which has been demanded for years by many tax reformers. ' Even so, looking at the matter from a purely business point of view, this is simply to lose millions of dollars of revenue that might juat as easily have been obtained as not, that is sorely needed by the state’s institu tions, and that could have been col Iected in such small sum out of each $100 worth of property that the average man could have had no cause Whatever for complaint. We believe that a tax of three cents, five cents, or even more, would have been just as effective an argument for tie majority as no tax at all will be; but regardless of that, this year of ajl others the new system should not have been put in force. There isno one to deny that the state years ago appropiaty what was then considered a large sum of money to the state’s educational in stitutions. There is no one who will deny that they needed, all of it then. There is no one who will deny that their ,needs have since -greatly increased, nor that conditions have taken the value out of that appropri ation, so that the institutions are now in worse condition—as compar ed with their needs—than they were at that time. And .that is just one item .of many proving that the tax act just passed at- Raleigh is bad business. And bad business ought to be bad politics.— Greensboro News. UNDER ONE FLAG. By Will H. Hayes. We fight for the faith of the fath ers of the republic and for perpetual freedom of the sons and daughters of America. Sometimesapicturepoints a principle no less than a moral. Such a one recurs to my mind. It was a cartoon published on the day after. Governor Cox'delivered his speech on the editorial page of his cheif newspaper supporter in New York. It depicted the -candidate hauling a flag to the top of a pole. Thebannerw as unfam iliarto the eye, but unmistakable in its mean ing. It bore no heraldic device or other symbol. There was not a sign of a stripe, not a suggestion, of star. Emblazoned upon a plain black- ground in large letters were the words, "The League of Nations,” and nothing more ' It was the new motto of an old party. It symboli zed surrender of American indepen dence-^ surrender, please God, that shall never be made so long as the' spirit of patriotism continues to ani mate the hearts of American free man. But amore apt or more exact por- trava) of the cheif purpose of the Democratic partv, dictated bv its leader and declared by its candidate, could not oe devised. ' As I looked at that striking and significant sketch, I conld not but wish that I were capable of making a companion picture that should em phasize the vivid contrast between their aspirations and ours: There would be nothing novel in my' illu stration, nothing strange to the vis ion, nothing startling to the emotions It would bea mere reproduction ot that first Star-Spangle Banher pro duced by the riimble fingers of Betsy Ross. A companion picture, did -I say? No. never. There can. be no cam paign banner to the Stars and Strip es as a symbol of the great republic. There shall be but the one flag. But that flag I would paint and hold for a moment to the light, of heaven that all might mark the difference between the old and the new. There would be no need to hoist that ban ner, It was raised on Dorchester Heights by George Washington. But a few days ago I saw it re-raised in Mario-, Ohio, by Warren G. Hard ing. For nearly 150 years it has floated over this free land, and never once been lowered. And at the base of the pole I would draw, facing all the world if heeded to de fend should come, the figure of a' great American—an American in evety fiber of his being as faithful as Washington, as humble as Lincoln and as unafraid as Roosevelt—your leader, your candidate and your friend. -- “Under which flag?” I should never have to a k you Americans of Maine. My sole injuction would be: You hold the post of ,honor: you must point the way. So before you go to the polls, Iet your eyes rest for a :. moment upon the twenty-thrrd star, of the forty-eight which gleam from the background of blue. That ?s yoftr stir, the star of Maine, the Norih Star of the Union, unblemish ed from thd time, more ttian a cen tury ago, when it was added to the galaxy on-our national emblem. Let it not be tarnished now. Illumine afresh by sending forth the message that. Maine continues inflexibly Americanand rejoices in the privi lege of being the first to voice to her sister states the spirit of complete victory which surely in November will crown Warren G. Harding and Calvin Goolidge. now leaders of the party, then leaders of the public. A Campaign Relic. A local Democrat is treasuring in his desk a button that he wore in the campaign four years ago.

The Battle Won. Jordan Passed, the Woman Suffrage At Last. Charity and Children: They are raising a row over the ratification of the 19th amendment by the Tennessee Legislature and may pospone the permission to al low women to participate in the fall election; but the opposition niight as well lay down their arms. They are whipped.. The extension of suffrage lias come and we hope that the women will have their way. It is agaiust all reason and justice that North Carolina, .which is op posed to woman suffrage-Should be compelled to submit to it whether or-no; blit state’s rights is a thing of the past. Ourwomen might as well read up on politics and prepare to go to the polls whether they want to do so are not. We have never contended or believed that women are less fit to vote than men. They have as much sense as men, and perhaps more. Our • objection to woman suffrage is based on en tirely different grounds. The ex tension of suffrage will vastly com plicate the political situation with out any special benefit to either party. The women are subject to exactly the same influences as men As a rule, families think alike on political questions. In the South a majority of the women will vote the Democratic ticket: ‘ in the North a m^ jrity of them will go Republican. W edoubt very seri ously that either Gov. Cox or Senator Harding will receive con siderable benefit' either way by the adoption of woman suffrage. Politics is a., dirty thing any way yotilbok at it.

Rocky Moont Barkers Want to Be MiOionaires- ■ The barbers and the board of al derman of Rocky Mount played to a capacity house Friday night when the motion offered by Alderman Parrish two weeks ago to place a tax of $50 upon each barber chair in retaliation for an increase in the costs of haircuts to 50 cents and shaves to 25 cent up for final action. The various participants in the fight got some weighty arguments off their chests before some pacifier on the board suggested tliat no change could be made in the faxes now as the barbers had already paid their 1920 license fee some time ago. With thi^information checking auy action the troublesome motion was indefinitely tabled. —Exchange.

Ayoungsalesman who had been reared in the city, was traveling through the mountains of Virginia. On the top of a divine he met the star-route-mail-carrier. “ What time is it?” he asked. Pulling out his watch, the maii- carrier deliberately replied: “ It’s three 'o ’clack by railroad time.” “ By railroad time!” said the young man. ’ It looks to me like you peo ple ‘way back here in the mouetains wonld use sun time.” "W hat for. young man? W eare a damned sighr closer to the railroad than we are the sun!” A busybody is always in a hurry to get to a place that he will be in a hurry to get away from.

Invitations have been received by friends readftag as follows: Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Flynn Meroney request the honor of 3'our presence at the. marriage of their daughter Mary Boyd 'i- to' Mr. Roberf Lee Morrow on Wednesday afternoon, October the sixth at five o’clock Presbyterian Church Mocksville, .North Carolina At home after October fifteenth Albemarle, N. C. Ropd and Bridge .Work Outlined. In order that the people of ' (the county may know what can be' 'ex pected in the way of road and bridge • work in the near future, I Wish to give an outline of the work that has been already ordered-by the county officials.and will be Carried out as fast astiie county force can do. the Wdtk. Vlie county mules are’ now;- at work on a road leading'to the Ire- delT county lineby wayof Dr.: Cain’s place. This road will be-a top soil road and its entire length, of two and % miles has no grade of over, four per cent and no curves butw hat can be made at twenty miles per hour with safty. Thiv job will be completed in about two weeks and then the force will move to the road between Holman’s Cross Roads and.Cana. There is about three- fourths of a mile of road there that is ordered tojV.soiled. After that work the force will move to the IowerStatesville road betweenCoun- ty Line aud Harper’s place. This road has been graded but there are several'places that in rainy weather gets very bad,and these worst places have been ordered topsoiled. Also the bottom at .Hunting Creek has been ordered improved. From here the force is to go to road between Bixby and Fork Church. There is two and one-half miles of this road, part of which needs relocation, and all needs topsoiling, as it prevents the people in the Fork" Church sec tion reaching the improved road between Mocksville and Advance. When the winter weather gets too bad to topsoil the force is ordered to move to the foad between Roberts ■Bridge and Courtney. There is a section of two miles up .there that Uteaks the link of the state system Iietweeu Salisbury—Mocksville— Wilkesboro line. This road is al- niost impa-sable now and it is im perative that something be done in the near- future. I will say futher that .this road has been neglected by the County off rials in view of the fact that the State had offered to build it. However it has been ascertained that under the state program it would be two or three years before they would reach this road. Therefore the county in tends to Build it independent of the State. The road thru Smith Grove has been surveyed and it is in the hands of the State at present. W e have been officially' informed that this road will be contracted in the next thirty days. The road from Mocks ville to Fulton is now being survey ed and we understand nearing com pletion. This also is a State Road and not under th e. jurisdiction of the county. However, we expect that it will be contracted some time next year. The road from Mocks ville to South river, our first road to be improved under State control is completed as to grading and drain ing and will have the surface finish ed in about two weeks. Several State officials have advised us that this is one. of their nicest pieces of work this year. Right here I wish to say for the benefit of the people of this county who do not happen to be informed as to the plan of work between the County and State roads, that, the right -highway for the road and1 the material for surfacing same must be guaranteed free of all charge to the State by the county before the State will agree td 'build the road. This arranged, the State pro ceeds to send engineers in and they reserve the right to locate the road as they see fit. ,They contract the building of the riads-and they su pervise the construction and receive it when completed. The contract pricC is borne one fourth by the eounty and three-fourths by State and Federal Goverment. The county Ijas nothing to do with the question as to where the road is Io cated or how it is to be built but that responsibility is bore alone-by the State. The following bridge work has been ordered done and the County Engineer is now securing price of steel: The Roberts bridgeis o%e that will be built in the next few weeks. Also the .bridge at the old Critz mill will be built this fall. These two bridges are in the same section of the county but in very bad condition and needing atten tion. Both these bridges will. be of steel beam structure and will be designed, fabricated and erected' by the County Engineer* as a sav ing of several thousand dollars will be effected by building them in this way over what it would cost by contract.. .T he bridge over:-Bear C reekonthe Cohnty Home '"road will be replaced by a steel structure as soon as it has been reached. Al so the Bear Creek Bridge* on the lower Statesville road is to be' re placed by steel in the early spring. For further information qf the public I wish to say that the work of topsoiling done since in th'e early spring by the county force ,has cost only half, what it would have cost had it been done under contract at the ^present* price of work.

We the Republicans of Davie County in convention assembled, do hereby-pledge ourselves and the can" dictates this day nominated, to coope rate with trie la'wabiding element in Davie County in executing and en forcing the laws' of. our dta:.e -and nation. That vioiators of the laws may now and here take noliee, that if elected, we will impartially uo our I best in protecting all our citizens in } the .emjoyment of ail their legal! rights regardless of creed or party; j wiin tnese resolves. We ask th-d sup port of all citizens of the county, and especially tne newiy enfranchisid j WumaiihouCl of the cere n tv. recogniz j ing the principle that no mw can be violated vvunout iniiicting injury- to tie good citizensmp of each and every community. 2nd. Kesolved that we believe in the rule of the people anil that on all questions of extra taxation and most especially .bond-issues wmch are lend ing to so increase the burdens of tax ation that the people are beginning to groan under the weight thereof, especially the agricultural classes; therefore we believe chat when bonds are tnought to be necessary for the building ot roads that the question should oe submitted to a vote of the peupie, we also favor a better system of keeping up the public roads of the countv before .much more money is spent for road building. 3rd. Resolved that the. public schools of our state should be divorc ed from partizan politics to the ex tent at least or electing the county school boards by th e . people, and. that at the election when such board is voted for, both parties should no minate and vote for two members each of said board, and the political party carrying the election in said county is to have a m ajority of said board. 4 th. Resolved that-the farmer is the backbone of every civilized gov ernment and that the agricultural in terests of our country should have the active and ungrudging support of all the people and every legitimate means should be used to help him improve his lands, his home and nis school to the end that farm life shouldbe more attractive and re munerative, thus helping and en couraging the young men to remain on the farms and help build up the waste places and make of* rural life the most ideal of all. . 5th. We are opposed to double taxation of all kiuus- and Especially the taxation of the farmers home when the note and mortgage repre senting the purchase price of the same is listed ar.d bearing tax in the state-we ajso favor a taxation system that will he just to all and not- place upon tne farmer an .equal part of tne buyden of taxation out of pro ' portion to the earning power of his land, we believe in conserving the farmers timber supply by exempting it from heavy taxation. . 6th. Resolved that w e favor the calling of the citizens or Davie County together in mass meeting early in December 1920, ibr the pur pose of consulting tog ether'and for mulating plans tor anv and an speci al and needed legislation for Davie County at the approaching session ot the general assembly in .order that the representative of this county may know in advance what the peo ple need and want, and be prepared to give said representative all possi ble co-operation and assistance in Legislating for and in behalf of the people. The above resolutions introduced in the Republican convention by E H. Morris, and the committee on re solutions composed of five mefiibers towit: Boss Grant, J, F.‘ Moore, B. F. Holton, B. C. Brock and T. F. Bailev reported that they be reject ed, the vote in convention- to reject was about'three out of 56 delegates. These resolutions are published so that the-Republicans.of the county can see and know where the party stands. Respectfully ^ E H. MORRIS. Farmington News.

I had no more than caught a glimpse of his white, alarmed- face when he sprang at me and grubbed at my hip pocket. I liad a pistol in the pocket at which he reached, but I in-, tereepted Iiis movement before he got the weapon. “Tiet me have it,” he begged. “Just a minute!” I got’ a hold of his wrist, which stopped him, and he whimpered. Then he broke away and showed himself at the window. At this the mnn on the lawn smiled with a joyousness that was a triumph. He indicated iri a flash tbat lie had found what lie had sought. He smiled so that I could see the white of his teeth. He had been uncertain and puzzled when I first saw him look ing up at the windows of the house. Wlth Jed framed in one of the win dows, he was triumphant and rejoic ing. Whatever he wanted he had found something which pleased him.' Jed was furious, the more furious because he was helpless. He would have murdered the man on the lawn if he had had any means of doing-so. He was- so furious that he d.id not care how he revealed himself to me. Tlie man on the lawn stood laughing for a moment and then walked slowly But I Intercepted His Moveirient Be fore-He Got the Weapon. away toward the brush;’ into which he. disappeared. Jed hung out of the window watching him. J . “Weil, sir,” I said, “I think we have ypii under a real restraint at' last.1’ “I was mad that the fellow should have come up to the house that .way. Some tramp !” : “And' you dropped ■ the coffee;tray and tried to get my pistol. A perfect-' Iy natural proceeding on seeing: an un- kuown tramp!” . “We don't want strangers about here”’ he said. “You don’t want that man,".-J said,' “And he is not a stranger. When.lie; saw you, lie smiled as if he had found- what he was looking for.” Jed .was. unhappy and showed It. ' - “I wish you were a friend, doctor,” he said. “I try to make you one. I will get you your coffee.” ; ' He sent In a maid to sweep up the breakage from the coffee-tray, and presently he’ came with another pot and cup. ‘He had steadied down, but was not tranquil. “Yop know ,that man,” I said, “and you wanted 'to kill him.” “I never saw him before.” he'said. “You have hqd some sort of dealing with him. He. has been hunting for you. He has found you., I think we are going to find you more interesting, Jed. The man will remain -n the neighborhood; I think you are going to have some unpleasant hours. The thought does not make me unhappy.” “I wish I could find a friend in this house.” said Jed. • “I wish you could deserve one,” I said,* *' • • • * ■ * - My description of Hartley house has been so sketchy and indifferent that it may not have included mention of the formal gnrdens which took in the river side of the place. They , were charming at aft times but particularly so at sunset,' when the radiance was behind the western hills two miles across the water and was reflected In the clouds back off. our own east ern hills. The shore at this point was narrow;-and the river was wide. Hills, river and. bottom lands, formed an intimate sanctuary which evening glorified. “ , To the north the gardens terminated at a high brick wall against which hollyhocks grew and now were In gor geous blossom, Jed had joined me In" the garden, and we were sitting-on a stone'bench facing the river not fifty feet from the brjck wall and the hollyhocks to the north. Jed was expected within a quarter of an hour to join Mr. Sid ney. He seemed dejected and wor ried—in a fashion timid, I thought. When he came to sit down, beside me, I. resented the intrusion for n mo ment; but knowing.that he had only a few moments In which to ' impose his presence upqn me, I did not make him feel any more unwelcome than ordinarily he knew himself to'be. A schooner deep in the water with brick from up the river had just come’ In sight around a point above, and with sails spread to the light' wind was caught' in the glorification of the water. A catbfrd was hopping in and out of the shrubbery, and. even with JetV by my side I was sentient and content. \ .It was not a noise that attracted my attention. It must-, have been the sensation of being stared at. I turned my head toward the wall to the north. In line with ,the bpnch on which we sat, and just topping the wall, was the head of the Spanish sailor. . H e'and I looked at each other for what seemed to be at least a moment His earrings glittered. V His gaze was steady and both inquiring and pur poseful. Even in inquiry It seemed malignant, with the malice which comes from a sense of injury. •' I felt a decidedly, unpleasantshock witli the creeps which come from a good ghost story. If he had appeared suddenly at full length somewhere in the garden, walking about, it would have been ■ ,different. But just his ’head appearing above.the wall, and he perfectly unexpected, unexplained, motionless.and inquiring—it gave you the shivers of a child frightened at night in the nursery. “You’re poor' company.” said Jed, “but I ami too, and I have to go to Mr. Sidney.” , I seemed not 'to hear him. Tt W fts not intended to rebuff him ; I was held by the Spaniard’s eyes.. Jed went in to a huff and said: 1 “Oh; go to the dqvtl." Then he also turned and saw the head above the wall. He a'rose and stood looking at the Spaniard as intently as the Spaniard •whs looking at hint. This /situation lasted 'a full minuie. without a move-' meut or word from one of us. Then the Spaniard's face, graven In lines of malevolent purpose; softened iuto-a lmlle- which: expressed satisfaction with prospects. And 'then the head disappeared suddenly. sI was jn doubt whether the man’s feet had gone oht from .'under him! or wheiher he had jumped.

Then, with cause, may the hairs crowning-even a head with .a thinking brain arise in sheer, fright. The per son’s plight Is. that of black igno rance, in which superstition and child ish fears - ascend and. dominate. Jed took a step forward a i if in' pursuit, but stopped with that one movement. It broke the situation down and made it possible for me to return to animation. Seemingly my powers of'movement and speech had been suspended. I looked at Jedywho was as pitifully frightened as a child in the dark. He made every demon stration of fright except wailing. Then he braced himself, recovered his cour' age and Without saying anything went into the bouse to join Mr. Sidney. - CHAPTER VIII. When I saw Mr. Sidney that eve- Lning he made a remark in joke that Jed was ill and needed my attention. ' “I: have not had the usual satisfac tion of my wine.” he said, “and-1 know it is because Jed is not in condition.” “I’m not well, Mr. Sidney,” said Jed. "I didn’t want to say anything about it, because -I didn’t, want to- interfere wi tit your evening, but since you men tion,it. I’ll admit it” “Go on along then, Jed,” said Mr. Sidney. “Go and have the doctor look you over.’.’ ' •Tm' not sick,” said Jed almost , an grily, "but I- know I’m bad company. TH go to bed.” !‘There’s something wrong WiHi the man," I said as Jed left, “but it isb’t physical.” > “So I imagined,” said Mr. Sidney, “lie's as strong as an ox. He’s got the constitution of an onion. How ever, he’s not himself tonight, .and that’s all there'ls to th at Will you read, to me?” It was eleven o'clock , when I went to my room.

Frfr a dead or a dying man’— for a living and live man, for that matter—Sir. Sidney had extraordinary manners and .great charm. He- gave a dignity and , worthy to life by his very manner of leaving it. In going from it, he proved it.to.be worth while —which. I suspect, is the highest ac complishment of the real gentleman. After I. had gone, to my. room, I found , myself restless and thought I might .find rest in a Walk. I expected to be joined by my friends the mastiffs and Airedales as soon as I Was out side, but. not a dog appeared. This was enough to be noticed, but not enough, at the time, to be given, sig nificance. I walked about fob a.while and re-entered the house with quieter nerves. I found that I iWas tired. Ordi narily I liked, at least an hour’s, read ing just before bed, but this night I wanted sleep, ' I was grateful for the mood and the opportunity, .and. I yawned„ once.. or twice as I got fjnto my pajamas;* •I: do uot know when I went to sleep or- how soon thereafter I awakened. It was' possibly’ only two hours: later. 'I did. not look at my watch, for the very good reason, that other tilings at the time were , more important A bright moonlight was shining.. And whatever had awakened me. the moon light showed me good, cause to Lbe . awake. In a window which the moon light touched with full, illuminating force, was a face recognizable as that of the Spanish, sailor! ' - . . • Again only his head was .visible, but this time he was In my bedroom win dow and seemingly trying for entrance into my room. This may seem a. more ghastly proceeding than his appear, ance above the wall early in the eve ning, but really. it.w asnot; I.had the shock of unpleasant astonishment, but /l: felt,f to my satisfaction,- the ability to handle the situation. / I was not frightened by-the appearance of the head in my window; -I suppose it is. ’because . the- appearance ’ suggested burglars, land burglars are conven tional. ’ ’ . ' . I lay quietly -in bed and wondered how; much thore ' .than the head I should . see. Just then. I was blinded by the light of an eiectric flashlight hitting me full-In the eyes. ■ Aisecbhd later, the flash wps gone, toe face in the -window was gone and a.slight movement on the gravel below showed me that my visitor was gone, I got up and‘looked out Althohgh- the lawn' was brightHn the moonlight,' ho one was to be seen. Tbe Spaniard had .disappeared Into the woods': ' lTo come to an understanding of the sailor’s ects, not much reasoning was needed; it was not my room he wcs trying' to enter, but Jed’s, His flash light'had not oniy shown- that I was awake but that he had the wrong man, .and be had climbed down and run into the woods. One mystery was how.he.had escaped the dogs. That was explained the next day; they had uot been loose tiie night before; - had not been released from their, kennels. They were found, rest less’from.an unexpected night of con finement. They had not been out be cause the stableman who had charge of them had spent the afternoon and night in the village of Hartley, drunk. It was an extraordinary and not an ordinary proceeding. for this stable man, who had been a dependable char acter. It did not require much sus picion to conjecture that he. had been tampered with, in deliberate purpose to free the grounds of the dogs for the use the Spanish sailor made when he climbed up to my room.' The stableman, proved delinquent, was so apparently contrtte and inno cent that it would have been an injus tice to punish or discharge, him. He had gone to the village’ In the early afternoon on an assigned mission for the house. He had used the oppor tunity to drink a few glasses of beer, for which proceeding po one would blame him in Hartley house. It seems that he drank two or three glasses more than he Intended to and, even beer being in a fashion intoxicating, got into a condition which made him amiable to the approach of a stranger who succeeded In interesting him' in the immediate prospects of life, which then to him were chiefly alcoholic. He and the stranger had much tala and many drinks. The stableman lost ail sense of responsibility, which was not strange, and proceeded from beer to' strong liquor, forgetting all his duties to the bouse. In consequence he did not get home tbat night, and the dogs were not loosa Naturally one drew a direct line from this performance to the appear ance of the Spaniard at my window, and there was natural wonder as to what kind of confederate the Span iard could have so effectually to. pre pare the way for him. The Spaniard had a confederate Who was ingenious and resourceful; that was evident. He had made a deliberate play to get the dogs out of tiie way the night the sailor made his attempt to get into Jed’s room, and had succeeded In almost getting into mine. Two days after the. strange appear ances of th^ Spaniard, I was asked for and w as told that a gentleman desired to see me. I went to the office of the house. and saw a man -who instantly suggested the one who had entertained the stableman so successfully. . He w as so easily described-that It was a crime for even a drunken sta bleman to have missed his distinguish ing characteristics, but at that, the stableman had made identification pos sible. The moment I saw the fellow I thought we were nearer the solu tion of the mystery of Hartley house. He was a SigtiKcanfJy insignificant- looking man; that was his identifying mark. He seemed timid and insecure of himself, apologetic for his intrusion upon me and withal determined Co do whatever it was that was in his pro gram. I wondered how so shrinking an individual had played a jovial part in a village Lavern, with, yokels at drink. His card indicated him to be a lawyer and gave his name as Phil- etus M. Brown. He came directly to his subject—for which I thanked him —as soon as he had made a brief pre liminary of commonplaces of introduc tion and greeting. < - “I have asked for you, doctor, be cause I know of no one el9e here who will serve. I do not wish to approach Mr. Sidney directly and cannot trust the factotum you know as Jed. I would not impose upon Mrs. Sidney or her daughter except in extremity. You are here, a rational human being and interested, I am informed, in the fortunes of this family. Therefore I have come to you.” “For what purpose?” I asked. He smiled as jf to apologize for having any purpose, and pulled at the cuffs of his coat. “I’ll be frank,” he said. “I hardly know the purpose clearly myself. My client is a sailor. My practice lies considerably along the water front in the city. It has not made me rich, I have lost-a good deal of egotism and have become pragmatic. I have fo get along and to deal with facto There are people dependent upon me, and I have not been much to depend upon.” ' “The condition of your finances or your morals cannot be of interest to me,” I said. “Wit at have yqp that is of interest?” He smiled as if he wcs oaci fre quently to rebuff. “What I have. I assure'yoa, htxnlll- ates me to present, because I realize that if I succeed for my client, I shall be in the way of blackmailing Mr. Sid ney.

Montgomery, Ala.—Appointment of ia state commission with absolute power to control and regulate the ■coal industry of Alabama is recom mended in the report of Governor Kilby’s committee which has been in vestigating the general strike of Unit ed Mine Workers. The report, which was read before the governor and the senate and •house judiciary committee of the leg islature, finds operators and union leaders equally responsible for pres- ■ent conditions in the bituminous coal !fields of Alabama. It states the public has been the ionly sufferer from the strike, which has limited the production of domes tic coal and caused prices to soar. Some operators, says the report, have taken advantage of the situation and have been guilty of profiteering. Governor Kilby expressed approval of the bill. He said he would have it introduced at the special session of the legislature now in session and would make every effort to have it enacted into. law.

Fowls Will Consunie More Food in Spring Than In Fall—Amount Varies With Breeds. The feeder must use his own judg ment in deciding how much grain to give the bens, as the amount of feed which they will eat varies with dif ferent pens and at different seasons of the year. They will eat .more feed in the spring while laying heavily than the summer and fall when laying fewer eggs. A fair general estimate is about one quart of scratch grains and an equal weight of mash (about one and a half quarts) daily to 13 hens of the gen eral purpose breeds, such as the Ply mouth Rocks, Rhode Island Reds, or Wyandottes, or to 16 hens of the small er or egg breeds. This would be about seven and a half .pounds each of scratch grains and of mash daily to 100. Leghorns and about nine and. a ' half pounds of each to 100 general purpose fowls. If bens have free range or large yards containing green feed a -,general purpose hen will eat aboiit 75 pounds of feed In a year and a-Leghorn will eat about 55 pOtmds, in addition to the gseen stuff consumed.

OTHERS SHOULD MAKE MORE Information Obtained in Keeping Rec ords Is Valuable in Assisting Farmer to Secure a Balanced Business for Next Year. Farmers, .fust like other business men, vary widely in the degree of effi ciency displayed In running their busi ness. Some are able to analyze the farm business and thus to detect and eliminate the low-paying or losing en terprises. Otliers1 lacking the knowl edge of how to make a systematic analysis of the business as a whole, know that their profits are not what they ought to be, without knowing how to go about it to , increase them. They may be able to find and correct the obvious errors- in Jtlie stun I !-sized farm business, but in handling a busi ness of .considerable size they often fail to spot the enterprises - that are losing money for them. Such men may or may not make money. but at best they fall short of making as much as .they might. A farmer may be making a large net profit on his potatoes and losing it all by keeping low-producing cows. Similarly a man may be making money on his cows and losing part of the profit on another enterprise. Hence the paramount im portance of records to the farmer. Farm Returns Studied. Careful studies made upon a large number of faniis enahle the office of farm management of the United States department of agriculture to make some .interesting statements in this regard. For instance, they find that only 10 per cent—usually less—of the farms studied are managed so os to se cure hetter-than-average returns from all four factors—size of business, yield of crops, live stock, and labor— while from 20 to 30 per cent .of the farms considered have only one factor better than the average. It must be understood that no one of these fac tors will determine success. The figures given which relate to the labor income will prove most interest* ing to farm employers. The analysis has reduced the labor cost of farm work to figures.

Many VaRKible Logs Go Into Cross Ties Wlien They Would Bring Much More Money if Sold as Saw Logs—Other Hints.' ’ It Is a mistake to saw up choice logs of white oak, ash, cherry and yel low-poplar for rough uses-at.hotiie or to use clear black walnut, for gate boards or split up white oak hutts for fence posts. This fact, is emphasized In many ways in a new publication. “Forestry and the Farm Income.” is sued by. the fofest service, United States department of agriculture. Farmers are toid that many valuable logs go into cross ties when they would bring the owner much more if sold as saw logs. Likewise, large numbers of rapid growing trees are cut. which produce only one small tie, whereas, if left to grow for from three to five years, they would yield more than double the profit. To avoid making Farmers Should Familiarize Triem- seives With Uses for Which Timber Is Adapted. such mistakes, owners of farm wood land should familiarise themseives with the uses for which ‘each kind of limber is best adapted. Timber that is cut In the Ia te'spring and summer months should be handled with special care to avoid injury, be cause 'fresldy cut wood is then more likely to be attacked by insects and fungi tlfan during the colder months. Seasoning proceeds more rapidly dur ing the warmer season and may cause excessive checking, which is not benefi cial to the timber. If rightly handled, posts, poles and logs may he cut at any season without their durability being affected, In ho cas.e shoulc^ wood be allowed to lie In direct contact with the ground.,. The opportunity for in sect attack and decay can be reduced to a minimum by- peeling the timbers and open-piling them offjhe ground in a shaded but dry place. This, how ever. does not , retard checking of the wood. ' c ■ Logs are sometimes stored under water; in the ,hot season, to prevent blue stain, checking, Insect attack, and decay. ' Painting the ends of logs with a yellow ochre or barn paint1 will very materially, retard Injury by end check ing. Painting peeled timbers with creosote will prevent sap stain and decay.

GOVERNOR IS A MOUTHPIECE Democratic Nominee' fs the Hope of Administration Officeholders and Fetch-arid-Carry Boy of Mr. Wilson. Immemorial custom, since the days when newspapers began, has placed upon them the burden of declaring their choice for a candidate for public office and giving their reason for that choice, vigorously or timidly as their policy may dictate, says the Provi dence (It. I.) Journal. . Tlie Journal has tried, to tbe best of its ability to arrive at such a conclu sion concerning Governor Cox and Senator Harding. One of these men will be called, by the nation to serve it us president of the republic for.the next four years—a period of stress and- trial; 9 period of reconstruction not only for our country but for the. world; a period already darkened by the shadows of doubt, by the dangers of radicalism run wild, by grave aud vital, problems almost beyond the pow er of mortal I man to foresee or analyze. . . . Ihe Journal’s choice for president is Warren G. Harding. It believes that, judged from the -standpoint of patriotism, statesmanship and deep and- abiding love of the ideals that have made the republic what it Is, he is infinitely superior to Governor Cox. Senator Harding is a keen student of national problems, who cannot he in duced to barter his principles for any' personal or party advantage. He is a man who begets confidence, who holds the respect and affection of all who come in contact with him. Governor Cox is a shrewd, able and active politician, playing the game asleep and awake. He is the mouth piece of “Charlie” Murphy and Tam many Ball and the bosom friend of •Tom” Taggart, whose pleasure re sorts in Indiana have been for many years the meeting place of all the sor did and discredited elements among the Democratic leaders. But, above and beyond these things, the election of Governor Cox would mean a continuation of the Wilson policies and the unspeakably vicious Wilson methods. It would give an other lease of life to the regime that has sought to drive Americans like sheep, against their will and by despicable trickery into the 'muddied waters ,of international intrigue.. . . . If the American. people want a con tinuation, of Wilsonism aud what Wil son ism means they will elect Governor Cox. If they want a revival of the spirit and soul of the Constitution, a rebirth of national honor and the elimination of the-Absolute Monarchy of Error under which this country has suffered in shame for seven weary years, they , will elect Senator Hard ing. No party haj. an option on all the virtues or all rife-vices. President Wil son is not the Democratic party and has never been its real spokesman. And in Governor Cox we see not the standard-bearer of a great party but the hope of Democratic officeholders and a feteh-and-earry boy .for Mr. Wil son. Be has already publicly pledged his devoted and loyal ■ support to the president’s “ideals." He is thorough ly acceptable to Mr. Wilson—they both say so—and no man is accept-, able to Mr.. Wilson • whom Mr. Wilson cannot handle like a blind and dumb automaton.' . . . Not So Much. It is beginning to dawn on the coun try that Jimmy Cox is not so much of a .candidate for president. The care less manner i.i which, he shoots off his mouth indicates that Iieiias not much idea of the importance of the position he' is seeking. As a matter of fact. .Timmy appears to "be a swashbuckling politician who likes.a drink and has otherwise some human qualities, but one that is about as well qualified for the presidency .as a good natured and popufiu- bartender would be. It is with extreme regret that we are moved to these observations because we had a sneaking fondness for Jimmy, but that was before w e had read some ot his campaign utterances —Peoria (111.)

It is the opinion of competent legal authority that the Absentee Voter Lawis in violation of the constitution of the State and will be so declared by the Courts be fore the eiectiorT It is a known and swom-to fact that un der this law, brazen frauds have nullified and destroyed the integrity and purity of the ballot and thousands of our soldier boys and other citizens were defrauded of their votes by forging their names with out their knowledge. The Republican State Executive Com mittee has employed counsel in the per sons of: Judge W. P. Bynum, Judge R.C. Strudwick, and Attorney Sidney S. Alder man. These' lawyers have been authorized and directed to proceed immediately, and to the court of final appeal if necessary, to have removed from tbe~books this ille gal and iniquitous provision of the pre sent Election Law. The expense of this litigation, will be heavy and will not be less than $3,506 OO by conservative and competent estimate. This is a mere pittance in comparison with the benefit accuring to every law re specting citizen and to the fair Dame of our state.' ■ The Republican State Committee appeals to the Republicans and to those citizens of the State who believe that the Banctity of the ballot is the only guarantee of a free, tasting and economical goverment of and by the-people to make possible this ail important undertaking and to carry it on to successful conclusion. _> The snit has been instituted and the Republican State Committee most earnr estly asks you to aid in carrying it on.

The Raleigh News and Observer state that within the next few days printers will begin "Wort on the 5,- 000,000 National State and congres sional ballots that will decide the Novemberelectibnin North Caro lina. The number is the largest that has ever been ordered in the State, and will require the steady work of the printers for several weeks. They will be mailed out before the 15 th of October. There will be a million tickets bearing the name o(.Cox and Roose velt, Democratic national nominees, and 700,000 dedicated to Harding and Coolidge. Another million State Democratic tickets will be printed and 700,000 for the Republi cans bearing the party nominees for all State offices. Approximately 2,000,000 congressional tickets will be printed. The number of tickets required in the election is determined by the party vote in, the last preceding national election with an added 25 per cent for normal growth. The figures this year have been doubled on account of the enfranchisement of the women. So far no provisi on has been made for the Socialist, Prohibitionist or other tickets that are in the field in the State and nation. The Gireat Cost of Automobiles. Careful estimates reveal the fact that the public is spending over $6, 000.000,000 a year, or $280 per fam ily. for operating and riding in auto mobiles. 87 per cent of which are pas sengers cars.
