06-JuneTHE DAVIE RECORD HAS A CIRCULATION-LARGER THAN THAT OF ANY PAPER PUBLISHED IN DAVIE COUNTY, AND OUR B O O ^ WILL PROVE IT. T he D avie V o l . IX.MOCKSVILLE. N. C.. THURSDAY. JUNE 4. 1908.No. 48 A GREAT VICTORY. The people of Uortta Carolina decided at the polls last Tnesday that the inanufactnre and sale of whiskey must cease in North Caro­ lina, and on January 1st, 1909, the doors of every saloon and distillery in the State wiii close. Of course the blind tiger will still do busi ness at the same old stand, and many drug stores will dispense the booze as of yore, the rich man will order Iiis bug jti.re from other states, but the poor white man and the negro will think it is a- mighty long time betweeu drinks. The vote was rather light, many voters remaining at home. The entire west with but few excep­ tions, gave good majorities for-pro- liibition, and many eastern coun-. ties are to be found in the prohi bilion column. The Eecord has claimed through its columns for many moons that the prohibition ticket would be elected by 40,000 majority, and our figures were not far wrong. Everybody is glad that the great fight is over, and that once more the brethren of nil parties and re­ ligious persuasions can dwell to­ gether in peace and harmony, and once again hear preached from the pulpits the old time religion, and Chrisiand Him crucified. There has been many unkind words said during the campaign just closed— wounds made that it will lake many years to heal. Many men whom we thought were Christian gentlemen have acted in sui-h a way and used language during this campaign that ill becomes such men. But the great fight is over, and we.trust that those who went astray and wandered far from the path of the Christian and the gen­ tleman, will live to repent of their wrongs, and find again a teat in the midst of the righteous. Below we give the vote of the va­ rious counties, which we think is nearly if not absolutely correct Davie County.

For President, WM. H. TAFT of Ohio. MOCKSVILLE, N. C., JUNE 4, 1908. Forty-two thousand good majority.. is a pretty Some of the Democrats are already claiming the victory in Davie. We told you sm __________ Some fellow told us the other day that North Carolina, would go Re­ publican this fall. Bob Glenn is the deadest fish in North Carolina. , Afterthisyear he can always be found-at his home in Winston. When the time comes that we have to do as the party leaders say or lose our job, we will be found out of em­ p loym en t.^___________ The prohibition election is now a thing of the past, and it is the duty of every citizen of North Carolina to help inforce the law.______ There is going to be some great changes come about between this time and the November election. Mark our prediction. The Record is independent on many subjects and says what it pleases. Those whom it cannot please, need not read the paper. The man who is afraid to vote his sentiments for fear of hurting his business, should he disfranchised. Such things are cowardly. This is the month of lies. Many will swear all kinds just to save a few dollars tax. But lies at this time of year are not considered as such.'— After glancing over the Lenoir Topic, we find that there are still a few democrats in Caldwell county who wouldn’t run from an office if it were offered them. Davie county 498 votes were cast a- gwiust the.bill, and as Oue of the 498 who so voted, we accept the result, and advise every man in the coun­ ty who thus voted to do his duty as a good citizen in upholding the laws of our land. If it is a failure, time will demonstrate the fact, and if its a good thing every good "‘citi­ zen will say amen. The bitterness and strife stirred up should be al lowed to smoulder into- ashes -of foigetfulness. and charity’ should take the place of harsh words and unkind thoughts. Those ho op­ posed the ratification of the law in this county were actuated by as good motives as those who advoca ted it, and he is no friend of law and good government who attempts to keep up,strife and discord among a people who should be united in enforcing and upholding every law on the siatnie books, a majority of the votes cast were in favor of the law, and no good citizen will violifte the law as long as it re­ mains on the statute book, and it matters noton which side one stood before the election, it’s the law by the majority vote, and both politi­ cal parties voted for and against it, and boih are equally bound by the w ill of the majority. Let’s lay aside all personal feelings, and re solve that the lav shall be given -a fair showing, let the results be what they may. If it is good, all will be more or less benefitted by it; if'on the other hand it is the reverse, those who have made it, can un-. make it. The opposition to the bill in Davie county was uot or­ ganized, and yet 498 votes were cast against it, and if some of those who favored the bill are to be be lieved, all the goodness and de- ceucy is on their side; if this is so, I am uot only sorry for myself, but exceedingly sorry for the other 497 who voted against it. Now as for me, I have no apology to make for my position or vote, but I: grace­ fully accept the result, and ask the other 497 to join me in letting by­ gones be bygones, IettingThe dead pnfat bury its dead. Let’s turn our face to the future, forgetting and forgiving those who may have of­ fended us by word or deed, and let’s use our intellect, muscle and all the energies of brain and brawn for the upbuilding of this great country of ours, whose latent pos­ sibilities are pregnant with good thiugs for those who have the honesty, the courage and the en durance to contend and hold out for the right as they see it. We may have been wrong, and those who differed with us may have been right, time only can tell, and- the only wise and sane thing to do is to be good, push onward and up­ ward to a higher plane and leave it to the future to determine who is who, and what is best for us all. E. II. H obris. There are many good true Repub- licans in Davie county who have opinions and a will; men whom the thoughts of office will not kill, and 'they should be hunted up and re­ warded. The Republican National Conven­ tion is only two weeks off. From present indications Taft will be the. Republican nominee for President. Two or three states have instructed for Roosevelt. Agentlemantold us election day that if he wanted to read an anti­ prohibition paper, be would take The Record. Possibly he never heard of the man who picked up the red- hot stove and dropped it. ' The Democratic State Convention meets in Charlotte June 24th, and it is expected to be a Warm proposit­ ion. Craig will likely be nominated for Governor, since Simmons has come out publicly for him. What­ ever Boss Simmons says, generally goes. IS THE RESULT RN AL? Republican and Democraticparties are pledged to Local Self-Govern­ ment. In fact it is a fundamental doctrine of both. Will each accept the vote on the prohibition bill on Tuesday-as a nullification of that principal or will a protest be enter­ ed against it in the platforms that will be formulated at the State Con­ ventions of these two parties? Now that the election is over and the gtnoke of battle has cleared away, it is but natural that this question and its solution will be looked forward to with no small degree of interest as the time for these State gather­ ings draws near-Union Republican. THE LAW. ’ The result of last week’s election is possibly known by every reader of The Record, and it appears from the majority given prohibition that t he people desire it and are willing to give the law.which goes into ef­ fect Jan. 1st, 1909, a fair trial.

Ctiley the Dispatch is privileged to look on a number of very ancient and interesting documents, one of which is'a" deed given by Daniel Boone ami signed by him in ink. This rare fiud was the result of an accident, and came - about in the following way : For 54 years, there has been one of these old-fashion walnut chests in the family of Miss Jane Turner, a lady living in West Lexington, and daughter «.f the late Wm. Turner. Of late years it has not been, used save to pack bed ciothes on, the inside,Be­ ing . vacant. Monday the chest was moved for some purpose from where it had been resting for quite awhile, and a little boy, as boys will, began “ messing” with it. and accidentally struck a secret driwer. which he opened. In it was the deed, and a lot of other things. The deed, uufortunately, is not whole, being, of course very old indeed. It is ia. pieces, and some of it is missing. In fact some of the old papers were burned up bo fore anyone thought they were worth while and doubtless part of the missing deed was throwu in the fire.

The difference is not only in size and character, but a man can select a fit—a horse can’t. Therefore the necessity for good judgment in buying the Genuine Kind. A cheap, badly stuffed collar of inferior leather will not only harm a horse’s skin, but break in important parts before it has been-in use, maybe a couple months. . Our ‘‘AU Kip Team Collars,” “Wood Faced” never fail to give comfor-t'to the horse, and double the money’s worth to the farmer. We are always particular about the fit—that’s why we have in stock so many sizes. Bring around your horses, large or small, and let us ,take care of their collar and harness' needs.

Koontz, of Salisbury, who punch­ es tickets and scrutinizes passes on the passenger trains of the South­ ern between Salisbury and Ashe ville, has extended us a cordial in­ vitation to come down aDd accom­ pany him in an automobile spin through Davidson county. Course we will go. W hoeverheard ofau editor refusing an invitation? And an automobile ride. Great scott! We can even now imagine ourself sailing through space and lighting on the pinnacle of a large tobacco factory. We once knew a man whose father owned two tobacco factories, which turned out, after a closer examination, to be tobaceo barns. .Some people are in theJjhe said, “ Well, I’ll be d - d.” habit of owning many things—in their minds. But that automobile how to spell Lazzatus—as I am short on likker and was wanting to git ofifan order to Lynchburg on this here next mail.” And the man who saw Regener­ ation on this porch went softly on his way—he looked into the heav­ ens where the angels dwell-^he gazed out on the beautiful land­ scape which God had. formed and fashioned—he drank in rb‘e per­ fume of the wild flowers that peep­ ed at him with saucy eyes from the old fences along the way—he re­ called that from the dust or Earth man was made—and in a whisper that was lower even than the soft south wind that doftly ouches his Peruna painted cheek—a whisper that even the angels failed to hear, ride is not imaginary, for it is our purpose to go and see how it feels to ride in one of them honk-honks. We will wear our best-grade white hat, our patent tooth picks, our four dollar striped suit, a 30 cent extra quality shirt, and if possible we will borrow a 10 cent pipe and a 25 cent walking stick. There is nothing like being dressed fashion­ ably. Good clothes impress ones enemies as well as ones friends. It is our aim to appear very impress­ ive on this trip. Perhaps some one may mistake us for a bank president, cashier, or the janitor. We make it our business to forge ahead, tnerefore we will set on the front seat with the driver, while Capt. Koontz will bring up the rear and the refreshments. The start will be made from some point in Salisbury, but the point hasn’t been located. The flying automo­ bile, accompanied by the contents, will make a dash due north, but . will run down before striking the North Pole. On our trip we may pass through the village of Lexing­ ton, but will not stop at smaller towns that Swearing Creek.. We are hunting up a good life insur­ ance company, and will start. ofi prepared for any emergency. We generally eat too mueh on such oc­ casions. On our arrival back home we will try to give our Horuet readers a short account of what happened during our absence. P. S. Merry widows are warn­ ed to keep in doors during our spin, as the machine is afraid of them. THIS IS A GOOD ONE. Everything. Be it known that there is in Lynchburg, Yirginiai a mail order likker house called the Lazarus Company, or,. Laearus is proprietor or something or other where his name is used m sending for a few. So it happened the other day iu Danville that a strong prohibition­ i s t was walking dowrn a principal street and saw an erstwhile toper sitting on his front pored poring over a Bible.- The erstwhile one seemed much interested in the pages of the sacred book, and the prohibitionist was p r o fo u n d ly struck with the situation. He ex­ ulted. He saw-that his good work had already borne fruit and the saloons had been but a week gone. Hesalntedhisneighboraud said: “ Well, Iam glad to see this. It fills my heart with joy and doubly so. when. I know I took such a great part in the ejection. But a few weeks ago my friend, and you were lined up with the thugs and the gamblers, and today, under this beautiful reign of prohibition you are at your home, you are seated on your front porch reading that sacred book—indeed, this is joy enough for all the years. I take it that you are now studying His word in order that you, like the city, mayTTe regenerated.”dk -The old pilgrim on the porch re­ plied saying: “ Hit ain’t the di . vine word of which'I am a read­ ing, but I’m a tyrin’ to find out How to Make Merry Widow Hat*. Take ore cart wheel. Super­ impose on the hnb one wire waste paper basket. Stitch on cover of white fishing net over green mos­ quito bar from your iaai season’s cam ping outfit. Around thiscrown, bank a few sunflowers and daises, brown roses, cerise and crimson chrysanthemums, a bunch of tall grass, a spray of lavender lilacs, Alice blue hyacinths, a stock of hollyhocks, purple and varigated petunis, pink verbenas, and candy tuft intersected with the blue and brown for-get-me-nots. Next take fifty-three yards of lavender color ribbon edged with cerise, and con­ struct a number of loops for either side of the front of the hat extend­ ing from the center of the crown to either edge of the brim, using as braces or stifFeni.<g long strips ol bambo. In the center of this dait ty bow place the garden gate, the latest fad in a Merry Widow bat buckle. Should the ribbon not be forthcoming, two canoe paddles, secured by the above mentioned buckle and appropriately tinted will serve satisfactorily. A wooden golf stick, a garden rake and aflag pole will give a jaunty effect as hat pins. Theseareonlya few hints in regard to the material lor the home manufacturer of the popular Merry Widow hat. Anychauge may be made or fixtures added to snit the maker, for anything is in if the style is maintained .J—Ex Youthful Night Riders Get Dose of Their Own Medicine. Alarmer in Posey county planted a crop of tobacco this year for home consumption only’. His two sons, 18 and 11, ,assumed the roll of “night riders,” and endeavored to frighten their father by cutting a lot of switches and laying them at the-front door of the home. On the door they tacked this sign- “Old Man: If you raise any to­ bacco this year there will be h— — raised here.—Night Eiders. Prom a window in the kitchin the father watched the work of the boys, and when they were fast asleep he stole into their room. In trousers leg of each he. deposited a bunch of switches, and on the seat of the garments was attached the following sign: “Night Eiders: Meet me at the barn at 7 o’clock in the morning, when h-— raising will begin Old Man. Thfe boys met the father at the appointed hour and after he gof through with them they though it would be well to raise a crop of to­ bacco and promised to work dili­ gently through the season.- Owens- ville Dispatch.

Woodpecker Hogs. ■ Walter Brannock, going through the country, saw a drove of hogs, large but pretty leau, and noticed that they would all at once run Jo another part of the field, stay there a few minutes, then hump them­ selves to a different place, ITbey kept this up for some time. The buyer called upon the farmer, said he had been looking at his hogs, and they were abdut what he wanted, except that they were lightin weight, and then -he men tioned their peculiar nervousiness. The farmer, in a hoarse whisper, explained that he had always call­ ed the hogs to feed them, but that he took cold and lost his voice, and then got iu the habit of pound ing on the fence with a stick—and now since the weather is getting warm “ the darned woodpeckers are running those hogs to death.” —Pleasant Hill Times. He Announced His Intentions. A young man and his lady love attended a protracted meeting which was being held in the village church. Arriving late, they found the church filled, but a gentleman gave the lady his seat, while the young man was ushered to a seat in another part of the building. The service grew warm and im pressive ‘ ‘ W ill those who want our prayers please stand up!” said the preacher.

I have been thinking over the statement which Mr, Ho>t made last week iu regard to the amount of fertilizers bought in South Caro­ lina already this seaRon. Six hut)- dred and three thousand five hun­ dred and forty three tons of ferti­ lizer! Let us assume that these tons cost an average of $29 per ton (and this is a low estimate f think) aud we have here in the spring msnths of this year the great sum of $12,070,860 that the- farmers of South Carolina have paid, or prom­ ised to pay, for fertilizers alone. Snpp' se that these fertilizers are all the low grade ot the 2 —8—2 goods, there has been spent for ni trogen alone, at twenty cents per pound, nearly $5,000,000! And so far as the cotton crop is concerned, not a cent of the five million dollars need have been spent if the farmers farmed right. Suppose that all the land now in cotton in South Carolina had been sown in cowpeas Ta t summer and these peas had had an application of three hundred pounds ot acid phosphate and fifty pounds of mu­ riate of potaf h per acre, and if the great crop of peavine hay this would have produced had been fed last wintei, and the mauuie spread broadcast ou the land that is now in cottou—what a differ­ ence there would be in the crop of cotton tnis season! The land would get far more nitrogen in this way that, it would in a whole torn per a ere ot the 2—8—2 goods. And J el many will apply but 200 pounds pei1 acre of that low.grade mixture, oiie-fmu t.i of which is dirt no bet­ ter than what the farmer already has. He will be applying four pounds of nitrogen per acre, an amount that would hardly effect the ci op at all, for it is but two- thirds as much as the annual rain­ fall supplies. But all over the State it has cost nearly five mill ion of dollars. And when the money is spent it has added uoth iug of value to crop or 6oil while if the same amount of money had been used on a pea crop in the ap­ plication of acid phosphate and potash, there would have been feed for stock, feed for the soil; and humus making material to keep up the improvement, if the forage is fed aud returned to the soil that made it. With only acid phosphate and potash applied to the peas and the peas left to make the cotton after feeding them, the farmers of South Carolina conld save five millions of dollars annu­ ally that they spend for nitrogen which they < ould get in far larger amount without cost, and at the same time be restoring the wasted humus to their soil. I have frequently mentioned the section in Maryland where 80 per cent of the fertilizer “old contains no nitrogen, ancT where the best farmers have bought none for twenty years, and use only acid phosphate and potash on the wheat and yet have brought their land up to the highest average produc tion of wheat in the United states, never thinking of buying fertilizer, for the corn crop, though they wake from fifty 'f JT mEeventy-five bushel.-per acre. But they make manure at home. Put the cotton ciopof the South in the. place and we would soon see the cotton crop run up in average per acre till a bale per acre would not be considered a big yield, and no fer­ tilizer to buy but acid phosphate and potash Jiberally for the peas, leaving the peas and their feeding to do the rest. And they wilPdo it far better than a little 2—8—2 feitilizer dribbled in the furrow, and the land no better after it is done, but actually poorer after the crop is harvested.—W. P. Massey in Progressive Farmer. Enforce the Law. Greensboro Record. Advice is cheap, but seldom hurts. The prohibitionists having won a victory that even astonished them, their next move should be to take steps to see that the law is not violated. Reference is had not so much to blind tigers as to blockade distilleries. The United States government has been mail • iaining a force of revenue men in this State at an expense of about $200,000 a year, deriving from the liquor traffic some $700 000 a year. There has never been any senti­ ment in this on the part of-the.gov­ ernment; it has been purely busi­ ness; this force was maintained to protect the men who paid the tax aud the license fees. Now that no more distillers’ licenses will .be is­ sued in North Carolina it is quite evident that no band of revenue raider8 will.be kept up., Ofcourse theie will he a revenue officer .or two stationed at all centers, but what the late Senator Vance used to call “revenue doodlers” will soon be out of a job. It can, be safc-ly said that out of ten men who want to engage in blockading, nine are deterred by fear of the U. S. courts—fear of the “revenuers.” The State law provides punish­ ment, but it is nothing like as drastic as the laws of Uncle Sam, so that it is probable we shall have more blockade distilleries than ever before, for the execution nf the law will eventually be leftto coun­ ty aud State officers. These are elective officers and we can all see what is going to happen. In some counties the Ia will be fairly well enforced; iu others it. will not, for it is not a pleasure to - be poking around after blockade stills, with nine chances against you. Block aders will shoot when crowded and it is dangerous . What is needed is a reinforcement of public opin ions causing likewise less demand for ardent-spirits, Ior where there is demand there-will be an effort to supply it. The maximum pen­ alty under the State law for blocki aders is two years, light enough to cause many men to take, the. risk when it is known that State officers must enforce the law. Locally we do not apprehend- much trouble, but take-Durham county, where blockaders are captured almost .ev­ ery week or two; the county will be full ol them and it will spread, with the return ,of- the old time way of transportation by wagons at dead of night. ^ - The fight has just begun and it is up to the prohibitionists and all loqers of good government to get busy. / - If Graig is hear as bad as-the Bitchin people say hris, he is net Goose Greek Heard From.

Indeed it looks as though the more talk­ ing they did the more votes they lost. Goose Creek as we under­ stand it, however, was not haran­ gued bv either side; she simply- basked in the sun and reared up on her hind legs when the time came and voted as sue drank. That was the way: to do it, and that is the only way to give an ex- p ession of the heart’s deep- emo­ tions. The people of Goose Creek are to be congratulated; the state of North Carolina feels pride in Goose Creek and especially since the last legislature in a moment of unsurprised patriotism passed a law that made it a felony for peo­ ple to throw sawdust in this classic stream.

'Obituary. Sister Obelia Byerly, wife of J. W. Byerly, of Mocksville, Route I, after an illness of several days fell asleep in Jesus on the 28th day of May, 1908. Sister Byerly had been in delicate health fora number of years. She suffered a great deal without complaint and was ever cheerful. In early life she professed faith in Ghrist. and joined Society Baptist church, was baptized by the Rev. J. B. Marsh. Since that time she has lived a devoted Christian life, al-x ■ ways at her church when able to get there to share the blessings of the Lord, and always had a word of en­ couragement for the Christian. She was recognized by all who knew her to be a devoted Christian and she tried to do yyhat she could to advance the kingdom of Christ, indeed she loved righteousness; JIerv funeral services was conducted by her pastor,. Rev. V. M. Swaim in Society Baptist church before a large crowd of lov­ ing and weeping friends and relatives and there in the city of the dead her mortal remains were laid to rest to await the voice that breaks the tomb. To the sorrowing husband now in the evening of life with whom she spent 30 years of her life a loyal and de­ voted companion, his church, his pastor and a great host of friends ex­ tend heart’s tenderest sympathy and pray the blessings of the Lord to console and comfort him and the motherless children and help them to realize that their loss is her gain.

What-a Fool Juryman Cul Do.*>■* . i» * . ■ There is absolute need of sensible, intelligent men on juries for many reasons, but just take one. One blockhead fool on a jury can pile upa.load of unnecessary cost an the tax payers that will take many a hard earned dollar to pay. Down in South Carolina last week a court order was made for moving and re- trying a case wherein a negro was charged with killiug a white man. He had been convicted axd sen­ tenced, when it leaked out that one Jesse Mahaffey, a juror, former member of the legislature and a Methodist preacher, said before the trial that he would vote to hang the negro, no matter wbat the evi­ dence was. Now on his account, the whole costly trial has got to be gone over a second time. "Mahaffey intensifies his reprehensible act by saying now that he was “only jest­ ing.” So, because one fool jested, the people must pay out several thousand dollars. None but men with real brain in their heads ought to be in the jury-box, and it is a common saying that the biggest fools are selected for jurymen.—Ex. A Fish Story. Once some men were fishing; A big fish came up to a boat and one of the men threw a stool at it. The fish swallowed the stool, went away and presently came back. This time they threw a bunch of bananas at it. He swallowed that, and .af­ ter awhile came. back. One man tried to catch it, but, he pulled: the man overboard, swallowed him. swam off and finally came back. The other men finally caught the fish, cut him open and found the man sitting on a stool selling bana nas at ten cents a dozen —Ex. StiB Hunting. Deputy Collectors J. W-. Roberts of Asheville^J. S.

The Board of Aldermen were divided on it, eight for and eight against.

DON’T. Don’t invite capital and people to come to your town and help build it up until you quit'trying to destroy some of the business already here. Every legitimate business of the town should be encouraged, and just because every business man does not think as you think, and fol­ low your course mapped out, that is no reason why you should try to de­ stroy him; His business is his liv­ ing, and the money he spends in the town and county is just as good as yours, and helps keep the wheels of . business moving along. Get out of the old ruts, and-show a spirit of tolerance, push and progress, and put no obstacles in the way of those who are helping build up the town. A DEAD ONE. Breathestherea man with soul so dead, ^ Who never to himself has said: “My trade of late is getting bacT; I’ll try another 10 inch ad?” ; If such there be go mark him well; For him no bank account shall swell, No angels watch the golden stair To welcome home the millionaire, The man who never asks for trade By local line, or ad. displayed, Cares more for rest than worldly gain And patronage but gives him pain. Tread lightly, friends, let no rude sound" Distuib his solitude profound, Here let him live in calm repose," Unsought, except by men he owes, And when he dies, go plant him deep That naught may break his dream­ less sleep, Where no rude clamor may dispel The quiet that he loved so well; .. And when the world may know its loss, ; Place on his grave a wreath of moss, And on the stone above, “Here lies A chump who wouldn’t advertise.” HS TIME TO ORGANIZE. The Industrial News thoughtfully suggeststhat the accepted time for the organization of Republican clubs throughout North Carolina is now at hand, ane it behooves those who are interested in this progressive move­ ment to bestir themselves. A num­ ber of such clubs have alreaey been organized, some fifteen or twenty, we believe, and itis highly important that every covnty in Qie state have at least one such organization. The good that this club movement can do the cause of Republicanism must be apparent to every one who thinks :about it at all. Besides stimulating the old line Republicans, to greater activity it attracts the party indepen­ d en t voters who cannot be reached in any other way. The best evidence of the fact that these clubs can do good to the cause of Republicanism in North Carolina is that such papers as the Raleigh News and Observer have tried by de­ rision and ahuse to prevent their or­ ganization. Thousands of farmers business and professional men throughout the state are sick of the order of things and need but little persuasion to a’ly themselves with that party that stands tor the up­ building of North Carolina along in­ dustrial and commercial lines. Let us have 100 Republican clubs in the Old North State-before the , first day of AugustT-UnionRepub- I lican. Cool Springs Items. . Miss Josephine Roberson was the guest of her sister, Mrs. I).

Wheat seems to be good, and a little fair, weather so it can be saved would be very desirable. Mr. John Lingle lost a very good horse the other day; got in the wheat and died the next day. Rev. R. L. Brown and wife have been contemplating a trip to China Grove if the weather does not con­ tinue t >o unfavorable. There is a nice crop pf fruit in this section, There is much said about the grand success of prohibition. Some are seeing great bugaboos that they think will come after it; some claim that tobacco, sugar; coffee, and rice will next be taken away; well when they get as harmful as whiskey has we say let them go. The leading anti-prohibition man at Spencer, on the day of election, said he . was conscientious and was going to take sides with the ladies and put in a dry vote. Mr. Boyden, chair­ man of the State whiskey league, said he was going to abide by the will of the people, and since it was evident-that the people wanted prohibition, he-was going to"use his influence to enforce the law. This is very nice on his part. If the law is enforced, the blind tigers will do but little harm and our country will be much better. There is another, poi n t under consideration in. Rowan; "that is, dry men for office, and as far as Observer is concerned, it would be wise to ex­ change votes with the dry candi­ dates that are already nominated, and fill in the ticket with dry men from our side, where they have wet' men on their side. This wpuld give us a dry legislature, and dry officials at home with some of our men in" office, while otherwise we may have a very badly mixed legal, force and none of our men elected. The wet men will support their party ticket on either side, but if the drys will unite we can carry the majority, of the State—all ex-, cept a few counties. I throw out these suggestions for consideration. O bserver . Knrfees Items. Misses Daisie and Mary Turner visired their friend, Miss Margaret Stonestreet,'Monday..

Agmemnon Roars And AchiIies ' ! Sulks. Last Thursday afternoon Mocks­ ville was again visited by the bo’s- trous booze artist of the briar patch (more familiarly known as W. Y. Willson, ex-Policeman of Mocksville, who has concealed'about his person a petition signed by a great number of the “pure in hemt,” asking ' that a drunkard be re-appointed to look after the quiet and good order of the town) who, it seems, is absolute­ ly immune from arrest for his con­ duct while in our corporate limits. OnThursdayabove mentioned this gentleman loaded up on “liker” and proceeded to give our citizens one of his usual and familiar stunts by go­ ing to the place of business of some of our leading men and cursing them out generally and making an all­ round nuisance of himself for about four or five hours on the public square. No man, big or little, had any remedy whatever, except a per­ sonal encounter with him, and good self-respecting men avoided that. The mayor was applied to for a war­ rant, but refused, to issue it upon the grounds that Willson was not friendly to him, and that he was not friendly to Willson. (You can read­ ily see that our protection from this biennial nuisance depends upon the friendship of said nuisance and the india-rubber backboned Mayor who we are taxed to support.) ,Some, however, are pf the opinion that His Lordship, theMayor,-is afraid to is­ sue a warrant for Willson’s arrest, but be that as it may, either he must admit that he can’t give him a fair trial or that he is afraid to have the law enforced against him. Eith­ er horn of. the dilemma should stim­ ulate his latent conscience and prompt him to hand in his resigna­ tion. ,If this apparently latent sense of decency and justice hidden in his Majestyhasbeen entirely oblitera­ ted by the paltry fees collected from boys and pickaninnies for petty vio­ lations of the ordinances, then an outraged citizenship should demand that he uncoil his fish-worm back­ bone from the mayoralty and allow one who has a sufficient amount of courage and sand to see that our town ordinances are enforced against this too frequent drunken regulat­ ing business. Another phase of this matter which deserves condemnation in our opinion, was the declaration report­ ed to have been made by W. K. Clement, editor of the Courier,- to the effect “that he Would back up and uphold W. Y. Willson in any­ thing he did—(Willson had previous­ ly been to the bank and asked the cashier to loan him a 41 Colt’S pistoj) will some one capable of penetrat­ ing the dark recesses of this great reformer’s heart, explain his con­ duct and give us a solution of the problem presented. With the May­ or’s office on the public square where he could see the ladies and little children of the town forced to en­ counter this drunken,' disorderly, boistrous immune from arrest, nuis­ ance, making the life and time of every business man on the Square a burden, forcing ladies to leave the streets and- hasten home to avoid the possibility of witnessing- a street fight on the one . hand or art ava­ lanche of vile oaths on the other, arid yet the head of our town govern­ ment refused to issue his warrant upon the ground of unfriendliness' Why thi3 .unfriendliness between the Mayor and the Nuisance? ; HaVe the charges made publicly on our streets by Willson that the Mayor, A. M. McGlamery, had been charging and collecting excessive and illegal fees anything to do with the breach of this erstwhile familiar pair? We think the conduct of the Mayor in refusing to issue his .warrant is equally as reprehensible as that of the Nuisance. An outraged citizen­ ship demands an explanation or a resignation.

Mr. Lefler is another example of the thrifty descendants of the Dutch settlers in this country who has forged his way to prominence by grit courage and manhood and we are ^specially pleased to note that he likes our town well enough to be thinking of locating here.

The sad news came over the phone early Monday moruing from Statesville that Judge Furches had died Sunday night of heart dis­ ease. , It pained and shocked , his many friends at this place, who esteemed him highly. While his. health had been poor for some years, we were not prepared for the sad end of this native -son of Davie, who had gone forth from his native county and had won fame and distinction in the State Ae had served on the Superior court bench, and in 1896 was elec ted to the bupreme court, aud up­ on the death of Chief Justice Fair cloth, became Chief Justice by ap­ pointment of "Gov.

The Scott-SIlverIake Shows. • This show made its opening ap­ pearance on Monday night of last week under canvass, on Depot street, and notwithstanding the fact that the town had not been billed, they wpregreeted by a large audience. The plays they presented while in this city were of a -high character, and it has been remarked by many that it is the best show that has ever exhibited here. The managers of the show are high toned gentlemen, and their actors and actresses won the good wishes of all-who had the pleasure of atf ;nding either of the performances. Those Vfjtio did not attend m issedtreat/ The work of Billie and May Owens sketch artists, was of a high order, and they were roundly applauded each night. Billy always has some­ thing funny to amuse the audience with, and he made good at every appearance. Billy made a • great hit Tuesday night in his role of proper­ ty man. Miss May Owens kept the audience in good humor with her catchy songs, and received a large share ..of applause. _ William Scott, premier ariel ar­ tist, did some difficult feats on the slack wire and trapese—in fact, his acts alone oh Monday and Tuesday nights wete worth the price of ad­ mission. Mr.-Scott plays many dif­ ficult parts - in each performance, and has won an enviable reputation as an actor. Artie Silverlake, who is down on the program as “a superior enter­ tainer,” always makes a hit wher­ ever he appears, and certainly lives up to his title. George Spruceby, renowned bari­ tone always gives the audience a great deal more than he promises them, and as a comedian he is hard to excel. Miss Edith Silverlake. is justly called the “Princess of Serpentine Dancers.” The serpentine dance on Wednesday evening, was a thing of beauty, and has been highly compli­ mented. Miss Silverltke also ap­ peared in a number of comedies and demonstrated her ability as an ac­ tress on every occasion. Miss Pearle Young, champion lady buck and wing dancer, was a gener­ al favorite with everybody and her work was of a high class. The lov­ ers of clog dancing were highly en­ tertained. The ISix Hollaway Brothers dis­ pensed music between acts and kept the audiences in good humor. The crowd on Tuesday night was even larger than Monday night. On Wednesday night the enclemency of the weather kept many away who would otherwise have attended. Notwithstanding the rainy weath­ er Thursday evening, a fairly good audience were present, and Gie dif­ ferent plays presented were of a iiigh order, especially the “luiiatic asylum,” in which Billy Owens and Miss Edith Silverlake did their parts well/and Scott played the negro to perfection. The “courting” of Bil­ lie and May Owens was greatly en­ joyed. Miss Edith Silverlake, in the song, “Gee! but ain’t this alone- some town,” caught the audiefice and held it. The concert Thursday night was of a high order, and the jokes by the “end men” were good. .The dancing contest Ijy Misses Pearle Young, Edith Silverlake and May Owens was heartily applauded.

Theshow left Sun­ day afternoon for Madison. We can heartily recommend this show to our sister towns, and assure them that it is a high class attraction and is composed of clever, high-toned ladies and gentlemen^ Mocksville will gladly welcome the Scott-Silver- Iake shows at any time they see fit to return.

I was sitting on a keg of nails in a West Virginia mountain store, says a writer, watching a native dickering with the merchant over a trade of a basket of eggs for a calico dress. After some time a bargain was closed, the native walked out with the dress in a bun­ dle under his arm and I followed him. “It isn’t any business of mine,” I said, “ but I was watching that trade and was surprised to see you let the eggs go for the dress.’' “What ler!” he asked in aston­ ishment, as he mounted his horse. “How many eggs did you have!” “Basket full.” * ‘How manp dozen!’ ’ “Dunno. Can’t count. “That’s where you miss the ad­ vantage of an education. With knowledge you might have got two dresses for those eggs.” — “But I didn’t want two dresses, mister,” he argued. “Perhaps not, but that was no reason why you should have paid two prices for one. Themirchant got the advantage-of you because of his education. He knew what he was about.” He looked at me for a minute as if he felt real sorry for me. Then he grinned and pulled his horse over close to me. “I reckon,” he half whispered, casting furtive glances toward the store, “his edification ain’t so much more’n mine ez you think it is. He don’t know how many uv them aigs is spiled, an’ I do,” and he rode away before I could argue further.—Chicago Ledger. Tnese Naughty Men. “Amount saved by the Ameri­ can people wearing clothes one- fourth longer, $120,000,000.—Har­ per’s Weekly. “Yet it has been estimated that if we could induce the Chinese to' wear shirts a few inches longer, it would be $25,000,000 a year in our pockets.”—Norfolk Landmark. “But just think what might be the profit to the cotton growers and spinners of the country if our Eng­ lish cousins could be persuaded Io wear drawers!”—Norfolk Pilot. “Or if for pants the poor, be­ nighted Hindoo could be persuad­ ed to quit making his skiadoo.”— Charlotte Observer. — “Or if Merry Widow hats were made of cloth.”—Winston Journal. “Or if the peek-a.boos were not so,”—Asheville Gazette-News.

I don’t believe hus­ bands and wives-get along well to-/ gether I think babies are a nuis­ ance and married women slave,” shouted a masculine-looking fem­ inine lecturer, addressing a Buf­ falo woman’s club, says the Times. A very tiny woman in the- mid­ dle of-the room rose and inquired: “May I ask a question!” “A hundred.” Quite timidly the tiny woman asked? “Did you ever have a man whom you respected come home at night when you were all worn out, and, tucking the children under one arm, take you under the other, tell you how through every bit of his work he thought of and loved you and yours, and then kiss every care out of your mind!” “No!” thundered the lecturer.^ “I thought not,” said the tiny womanf and sat down. .. Somehow the lecturer found it impossible to go on satisfactorily after that.— Mother’s Magazine Doing Right. It costs a country newspaper money every time it takes a stand on any question, says an exchange. Almost any other citizen besides a newspaper man can do so with out injuring his business, because he is not put on record. When a newspaper publishes anything it’s there in black and white- and no way to get around it. If the editor advocates improve­ ments, the mossbacks go after him, and sometimes stop their paper. Ifhe opposes improvements, the pro gressive sort get on his frame and call him a black number. Ii he boosts the churches the liberal ,ele­ ment calls him crazy, and if he doesn’t the church people say he’s going to the devil. If he publishes: local news, some sav it is all non­ sense, and if he doesn’t he gets it in the neck from those who look for short items. If he publishes politics the opposition gets into his hair, and if he does not he is charg­ ed with being afraid to stand out for his opinion. If he condemns mail order houses, there are some people who ask him to attend to his own business, as they have a right to trade where they please. If he publishes mail order ads,, the home merchants go after his gore. No country paper can come squarely out without making enemies and losing Bome money, and in the run of a year or so will incur criticism from nearly everybody. But this should not be discourag­ ing. The newspaper that under­ takes to please everybody will please nobody, and if it is honest and sincere and thoughtful, the public will respect it.—Ex. In a Quandary.

How to Construct and Use The Split-Log Drag. One of the latest publications is­ sued by the office of public roads of the United States department of agriculture, treats of the split-log drag, an implement which numer­ ous experiments have conclusively shown to be the greatest possible boon to keep earth roads smooth and passable. Because of its sim­ plicity, its efficiency and its cheap­ ness, both in construction and op­ eration, it is destined to come more and more into general use. Wifeli the drag properly built and its use well understood, the maintenance of earth roads becomes a simple and inexpensive matter. At tbe present time there are approximately 2,000,000 miles of earth roads in the United States. Some of the most important of these roads will eventually be im­ proved with stone, gravel and oth­ er materials. Many others which are equally important cannot be so improved on account of lack of: funds or suitable materials, while, still others will not require such treatment because of the light traffic to which they are subjected. For these reasons the majority of our roads must be maintained as earth roads for many years to come. This muBt be done by inexpensive methods and the split log drag will be a powerful aid if economy is the criterion demanded.' : In the construction , of this im­ plement care should be taken to make it so light that one man can lift it with ease, a light drag re­ sponding more readily to various methods of hitching than a heavy one, as well as to the shifting of the position of the position of' tbe operator. The best material for a split log drag is a dry red cedar log, thongh red elm and walnut are excellent, and box elder, soft ma­ ple, or even willow .are superior to oak, hickory of ash. The~ log should be between seven 'and ten eet long, and from ten to twelve inches in diameter at the butt end. It should be split carefully as near the center as possible, and the heaviest and best slab chosen lor the front. In the front slab- fdur inches from the end which!' is to drag in the middle of the road, bore a two-inch hole, which is to receive a cross stake. At a dis-» tanceof twenty-two inches from tbe other end of the front slab, lo­ cate the center for another cross stake. The hole "for the middle stake will be' on a'line connecting' and half-way between the two. Thenplirce theback Blab in posit­ ion and from the end which is to drag in the middle -of the road measure twenty inches for the cen­ ter of one cross stake ahd six inch­ es from the other end locate the center of the opposite stake. The hole for the center stake should be located half way between the two. All these holes should be carefully bored-perpendicular or at right angles to the face nf the split log. If these directions are followed, it will be found that when the holes of the front and back slabs are brought oppbsite each other, one end ot the back slab will he sixteen -iuches nearer the center of the roadway than the front one. That gives what is known as “.set back;” The stakes,w hich are thirty inches-long;-, will- bold -.- the slabs this distance' apart; - When the stakeB have been firmly wedged into their sockets, a brace about two inches thick and - four inches wide may be placen diagonally to them at the ditch end of the drag. A eleatedi board is placed between the slabs and across the stakes for the drivei to stand on / By-mamy it is deeuit-d P b> st to p act- i Bi up ,.f iron along m e !<•' Sr lave m >. c fi ju i suit Ioi a uil from wearing. The drag may be fastened to the double-tree by meant, of a trace chain. Thecbain should be wrapped around the left hand or rear stake and passed over the front slab. Raising the chaiu at this eud of the slab permits the earth to drift past the face of the drag. The other end of the chain should be passed through a bole iu the opposite end of the front slab and held by a piu passed through” a link. . . For ordinary purposes, the bitch should be so made that 'the un­ loaded drag will follow the team at an angle of about 45 degrees. The team should be driven with one horse on either side of the right hand wbeel track, or rut, the full length of the portion to be dragged, and made to return in the. same manner over the other half of the roadway. Such treat­ ment will move the earth toward the center of the roadway and raise it gradually above the surround ing level. The best results have been ob­ tained by dragging roads once each way after each heavy rain. In some cases, however, one drag ging every three or four weeks has been found sufficient to keep a road ii good condition. When the soil is moist, but not sticky. the drag does its best work. A sth esoilin afield wi I bake if ploughed wet, so the road will bake if the drag is used on it when it is wet. If the roadway is full of holes, or badly rutted, the drag should be used once when the ground is soft and slushy. This is particularly applicable before a cold Bpell in winter, when it is possible to so prepare the surface that it will freeze smooth. Notinfrequently conditions are met which may be overcome by a slight change in the manner of hitcning. Shortening the chain tends-to lift the front slab and make the cutting slight, while a longer hitch causes the front slab to sink more deeply into the earth and act. on the principle of a plow, Ifa furrow of earth is to be moved ; the doubletree should be attached close to the ditch end of the drag, and the driver should stand with one foo*t on the extreme forward end of tbe front slab. Conditions are so varied in dif­ ferent localities, however, that it is quite impossible to lay down - spe­ cific rules. Certain sections of a roadway will reqnire more . atten­ tion than others because of steep , wet weather springs, soil conditions, exposure to sun and wind, washes, etc. There is one condition, however, in which spec ial attention should be given. Clay roads under persistent draggings frequently btcome too high in the center. Ihism aybecorrectedby dragging the earth towards the center of the road twice, and away from it once., Thereis no qnestiou as tc the economy of this road- making im plement, either in first co«t or in Operation. In six counties in Kan­ sas in -1906 the cost of maintaining ordinary earth roads, without the aid of the split log drag, averaged $42.20 a mile. These figures were furnished by Prof. W. C. Hoadj of■ Vthe University of Kansas, who se­ cured them from official records of the counties. ■ Some figures furnished by F. P. Sanborn and K. H. Aishton, gen-, eral manager of the Chicago and Northwestern rai lroad, have re­ vealed the wonders of this simple device. Mr. Sanborn said “the least expense per mile per annum Tor split log dragging' .was $1.50, the greatest a little over $6 , and the average expense per mile for five and a half miles a little over $3. I have lived along this road all rnj JIle, and nevei in ioiiy JniM I reen it fieei from m id✓ V the extremes of weather condit­ ions.” The testimony of Mr. Aishton is equally strong. Learning that a township in Iowa had been mak ihg an investigation of the split- Iog drag and had bpen experiment­ ing with it for a year on twenty- eight miles of highway, he sent an airent to secure information. It was reported that although the town board had paid the cost of making the dr- gs and of hiring men to operate tnem, the total ex­ pense for one year averaged but $2.40 a mile, and the roads were reported to have been “ like a race track” the greater portion of the year —Industrial News. Seems to us that it would be a good idea for the people of Davie county to get together and give this a trial, for if there are any worse roads to be found in North Carolina than those of this county, we have failed to locate them. Oiir Wealth, . When we remember that the American farmer-earns enough in seventeen days to buy out Stand­ ard oil, and enough fn fifty days to wipe Carnegie and the steel trust off the industrial map, the story of the trusts seems like “ the short and simple annals of > the poor.”' One American harvest would buy the kingdom of Belgium, Kingand ali; two would buy Italy; three would buy Austria-Hungary, and five at a spot-cash price, would take Russia from the Czar. Talk of s wollen fortune! With the set­ ting of every sun the money box of the American farmer bulges with the weight of twenty-four new millions. Only the most ath­ letic imagination can conieive of such a torrent of wealth. Place your finger on the pulse x>f your wrist and count the- heartbeats—- One, two, three, four. With eveiy four of tbose quick throbs, day and night, a thousand dollars clat­ ters into the gold bin of the Amer­ ican farmer.—Beview of Reviews. - Hon. D. M. Furches. Statesville Landmark. The death of . Judge Furches re­ moves from the walks of men one of the oldest residents of Statesville and a conspicuous figure at the bar and in the public life of this section of the State for more than a gener­ ation. Of French descent, he was born the son of a farmer, in Davie county, April 21,'1832, being 76 years old April- 21st last. He studied law under the date Chief Justice Pearson at Bichmond Hill, Yadkin county. In January, 1858, he was licensed to practice law and in February following he was elect­ ed solicitor of the county court of Davie county, holding the office un til 1866, He was also for a time, during the same period, solicitor of the cbunty court of Yadkin. He represented Davie county in the constitutional convention of 1866 and in September of that year he moved to Statesville, where he iived until bis death. Before the war Judge Furches was a Whig in politics and after the war he became a Republican. In 1872 he was his party’s candi­ date for Congress in the old seventh congressional district, embracing Iredell, his successful opponent be­ ing the late Hon. W. M. Bobbins. In August, 1875, Gov. Brogden ap pointed him judge of the Superior Court to succeed Judge Anderson Mitchell, of Statesville,-resigned. He held the office for three years, retiring in 1S78. In 1880 be was again the Republican candidate for Congress, being defeated by the late Hbn. R. F. Armfield. In 1882 he was the Republican nominee for Court of Claims, which means that the Legislature, in 1886 the nomi- it will be paid to the Gray estate if Party is Disfranchised. Som easkifthe Populists would run a ticket. No. As a party, the amendment and election IaW dis­ franchised them. Not only this, but a Democrat can’t run as an in­ dependent candidate. If he should be elected, he could be deprived’of his office by the laws referred to above. If this is not true, then the laws as enacted mean nothing. It was all doue to get rid of fusion be­ tween Republicans and Populists, and independent action, on the part of dissatisfied Democrats. You must be a Democrat or Republican one, and you must be nominated accord­ ing to the party plan or you can’t run and be elected legally under the law of the State.—Times-Mercury, Railing Out on Mr. Bryan. Charlotte Observer. It seems that the firing on Mr.. Bryan from the compulsory water wagon has begun. The Chattanoo. ga Times makes these observations; Mr. Bryan is now classed with the ‘hums, the toughs and the saloomsts’ by the prohibitionist propagandists, The National Prohibitionist, the or­ gan of the party-, which is taking such an active part in Tennessee pol­ itics, says of Mr. Jjryan: Mr, Bry­ an's views are of interest to us sim­ ply because they hne him up square­ ly against prohibition and therefore simplify the honest citizen’s duty m voting. Now will Mr. Bryan be good or will he continue to fly de­ fiance by remaining steadfastly a.r mong the ‘Morally Stunted?’ ” What sland will the prohibition delegates from this . State to the Denver convention take? No furth­ er comment is necessary.-. V. ' "• -•••-'•: -- ---- Denying it Themselves.

Good Advice. . It is getting high time that the Republicans begin to select their candidates. If they run a good ticket and-all unite on it, they can elect it, jf they will thoroughly or­ ganize and’make a canvass with the Democrats in the county. De it, and let,s have some fun.—Hickory Times-Mercury. Seems to us that it’s about time Davie Republicans would wake up and look about them. Of course our Democratic brethren dofi’t stand as much chance of electing their county ticket as Pat stood in the army, but nevertheless it is time to look about us and select the best men for the various offices. There are many good-men in this county whom we would be glad to hear from along this line. Gentlemen, our .,columns are open to you for any suggestions you may wish to make. We are al­ ways glad to devote our space to any one who has the advancement of the grand old party at heart. Let us make an honest, open fight this fall, and when the votes are counted in November, the good old county of Davie will have a Republican ma­ jority larger than ever before. The Claun of The Gray Estate. The Charlotte Observer of Sunday had the following from its Wash­ ington correspondent: .“A claim filed by the late J., W. Gray, of Statesville, for $250,000 for a cotton mill burned by the Federal army during the closing days*of the civil war, has been referred to' the nee for Superior Court judge, in 1888 the nominee for .Associate justice of the SuprCine Court and in 1892 the nominee for Governor, being defeated with his party at each election. In 1894 a fusion of Populists and Republicans carried the State against the Democrats and Judge Furches was elected Associate Jus­ tice of the Supreme Court, January 6 , 1902, Gov. Russell appointed Judge Furches Chief Justice of the court to succeed Judge Faircloth, deceased. In February following impeachment proceedings were brought iu the Legislature against JudgeFurches and Associate Jus­ tice Douglass, but after a trial last ing several weeks they were ac­ quitted by the State Senate sitting as a court- of impeachment. The proceedings were based oh a decis­ ion rendered by the Supreme Court. When Judge Furches’ eight-year term as a membea of the court ex­ pired in'1902 'he returned to his home in Statesville and resumed the practice, of law. In recent years he appeared little in the courts but devoted himself to his office practice up to his last illness ’While never distinguished as an advocate, Judge Furches was a law yer of ability. He was a wise and safe counsellor, industrious and painstaking, honest and straight­ forward in all bis business relations. For many years he enjoyed a large and lucrative law practice in the courts of Iredell and surrounding couuties and stood high m his pro­ fession. While often a candidate he was not an office-seeker. the loyalty of the claimant can be establised, which! it is said there will be no difficulty in doing. This claim has been pending along time. Mr. Gray so long, known a Statesville hotel man, spent a win­ ter in Washington prior to his death lookingafterthe claim. The prop­ erty destroyed was located at Eagle Mills and was burned by Stoneman’s men when the army passed through here in April, 1865 A government official will come to Iredell this fall to take testimony in regard to the case. The matter is by no means settled but the friends of the parties interested nope they will win in the end.—Landmark. The Truth. The Hickory Times-Mercury tells the truth a great many times—more times than many other papers, and Editor Click hits the- nail on the head, when he truthfully says: “The Democrats will find rt hard­ er to olect their candidate-for Gov­ ernor than it is to nominate him— unless they use the machine.

Salisbury, Jnfie 6 .—Because of the following notice received by the occupants of the different houses owned by Mr. D. L. Arey, four of Salisbury’s most prominent busi­ ness firm3 will either sell out or move this month: “Salisbftry, N. 0. May30,1908. “Dear Sir:—Owing to the Iact that Aorth Carolina was carried for prohibition, I aim loser to the SUm total amount of from $40,000 to $60,000. Be ides it has had the effect of forcing the D. L. Arey Distilling Company to secure a lo­ cation in some other State at an enormous putlay, and as I see the situatiou, taxes in Salisbury will be increased to excessive propor­ tions. Taking all -these things into consideration, I findthatbeginning with July 1st, I will have to in­ crease my rents so as to be able to meet - those heavy obligations. Therefore you are hereby advised that yours will be raised to per month. Very respectfully, ^ “ D. Li A bey.” The Smoot Bros, and Rogers CompaKy occupying one ot the stores in the Washington Building will close out their entire stock at once. This is one of the largest and oldest clothing'houses in Salis­ bury and has always enjoyed a splendid business. Mr. A . W. Winecoff, occupying a store room in the same block, is > preparing to sell out before ' the close of the present month. Mr. Winecoff has conducted a large dry goods business- in Salisbury for about twelve years and has always received a liberal patrcinang. The Simpson • Peacock Grocery Company, at present located in the Bell Block, is preparing to move to the stand on Council street for­ merly occupied by the Barber Bug­ gy and Wagon Company. The Salisbu ry' Drug Company will, in a few days, move from its present stand, 115 Noith Main St., to the Empire Bloqk on South Main street. The Brown-Palmer ClothingCo., successors to the Brown Clothing Company, the oldest exclusive clothing firm in Salisbury, decided at a meeting of tbe stockholders on the 1st of June to retire from-busi­ ness. This company is made up of some of Salisbury’s leading bus­ iness men, and has always received, a large share of the clothing busi­ ness of this section. Although red letter closing out advertisements are prominently dsi- played on Salisbury’s main streets, it is interesting to note that not a single store has taken this course becauge of financial embarrasment. Let the Law be Enforced. The State has voted prohibition. We have the law, now let’s have the enforcement. If our city, county and State, officers do their sworn duty, there will soon be no block- aders and blind tigers. It is impos­ sible for these things to exist as they have, if the local officers do their duty. They have waited on the Federal officers. No excuse for that any more Any officer who fails to do his duty, should have that duty taken from him. If he tries and has not got the tact to catch them, then he should come down and out. Now let the people help the officers and see that the law is enforced. Now altogether and give the people what they voted for.— Hickory Times-Mercury. INDUSTRIAL EDUCATION AT A, & NI.

The Republican does not see any difference between Mr. Kitehin or Mr. Craig, the leading Democratic candidates for gubernational nomi­ nation at Charlotte, June 24th. Mr. Kitchin is a radical Democrat, to whom drastic railroad fate and similar legislation is a delight, while Mr. Craig is the one who in­ stituted the infamous impeachment proceedings against Chief Justice Enrches and Associate Justice R. M. Douglas in the State Legisla turein 1901. Past experience has taught us a sad lesson in the above respects and the State can ill af­ ford to “jump from the frying pan into the fire.” independent Con­ servative Democracy is sounding the signal by which it is proposed to place business before politics and to enact safe and sane legisla­ tion in preference to industrial de­ stroying measures.—;Union Repub­ lican. •' We desire to call attention to the advertisement of the State Normal and Industrial Cbllege which appears in this issue.

Mr. A. M. McGlanieryi: Mayor; of Mocksville, objects to the article"ap- pearing in the last issue of The Re­ cord, signed by “Citizen,” in which it was asserted that the Mayor re­ fused or declined to issue a warrant for the arrest of W. Y. Willson, for an open, notorious and oft-repeated violation of the town ordinances. The article was based upon informa­ tion received through J. A. Current, policeman, and another reputable business man who informed “Citi­ zen” that he made application to the Mayor for-the warrant Thursday evening when the disturbance of the peace and good order of the town was being interferred with, by Willson, in an open, notorious and boistefous manner, and that the Mayor refused to issue the warrant. Mr. McGlamery says this is not true; that he did not decline to issue the warrant Thursday evening and the party or parties who gave “Citizen” the information were making false statements, and should not be re­ lied upon. The Mayor has also pro­ cured a written statement from J. A. Current, town policeman, that he, the Mayor, never declined to issue the warrant on Thursday evening. The above is written in justice to the Mayor. New “Citizen” has this further ty say about the matter. There was on the streets of Mocksville Thurs­ day .evening, June 4th, a man drunk, boisterous, extremely disorderly and disagreeable. Heparaded the pub­ lic square for four or five hours in pla>n view of the Mayor’s office, in company at tinies with the police­ man, who saw both his condition and conduct, and heard his cursing and knew exactly what was ,going "on. The Mayor, McGlamery, and the policeman,’ Current, had a con­ versation and consulted about Ihe disgraceful situation, in plain view of all the citizens around the !public square, and no warrant was then is­ sued nor arrest made. Not only that but both the Mayor and police­ man went to their respective homes, and left this man in his drunken, disorderly, boisterous condition on the streets, and an outraged cisizen ship taxed to pay the salaries of this braise of back-bone-less alleged guardians of the peace and good or­ der of Mocksville, to take care of itself. Thereisnota single right- thinking, law-abiding, order-loving man, woman of child in the town of Mocksville who will or can defend the action of either the mayor or policeman relative to this affair. Their conduct calls for the severest censure, condemnation and rebuke. The policeman, Current, having made the statement and signed it, that the mayor did not decline to issue the warrant, now let him swear to it, and then let the mayor file this with the Board of Town Com­ missioners, with a recommendation that they select some man who will arrest offenders- • against our ordi­ nances committed in his presence. In the former article “ Citizen” was not inclined to critisize the police­ man, because of his statement that the mayor refused to give the war­ rant, but since he has signed the Statement given the mayor, retract­ ing his former assertions about the failure to arrest, “ Citizen” thinks that"he should hand in his resigna­ tion* and upon his failure to do Sot the Jawii board should ask for it. To sum up, the situation was this: Aman on our public streets, drunk and doing many things to raise a “rough house.” The mayor and po- liceman-both present seeing and hearing it all ,-talking together about it; both leaving him in this, drukken orgie and going to their homes with- 'OUt in any visible manner attempt­ ing to restore order and quiot, but leavinglaw-abiding people taxed to support a town government, to hear his curses, take his drunken.Jbuse or have a persopal encounter. If the mayor or policeman can by 'any mental process persuade themselves that they did their official duty or the duty they, owed to those who: pay their salaries or the- duty im­ posed upon them by law. Then all we have to say is, that both are to­ tally ignorant of the law; and abso­ lutely unfit:for-.the positions they hold. - Citizen. Two Bad Wrecks. There were two freight wrecks on this division of the Southern within the-past weedsr One was at Bixby on Friday where two eoal cars jumped the track and were Bmashed up-, The- other wreck oe-, cucred just south of the Mockayflle trestle-, Saturday about12;30 p. m : Fivepars jumped" the track, and four’ were Moiost completely demol­ ished, One car was loaded with corn, one with coal, and two witn terracotta tiling. The only person hurt was the conductor, who sus­ tained a slight cut in the head, and and hkinned arm. The track was torn up for about fifty j aids. The one o’clock north-honnd passenger train transferred and made the re­ turn trip .to Charlotte The 7:54 south bound tiain also transferred at the wreck. - The trabk was not cleared- until.■ midnightfBattirda4 night. No cause has been assigned for either of the wrecks.. it is tor tunate that no one was; seriously injured, .i.j ", No Need of Suffering From RheumatUm. It is a mistake to allow anyone to suffer from.rheumetism, as the pain can always be relieved, and in most cases: a cure effecied by., applying Ghamberiain’s Liniment. The relief from pain which it affords is alone worth many times its cost: It makes sleep: and rest possible.;. Even in cases of long standing this liniment should be used on account of the relief which . affords. Do not be discouraged un­til you have given it a trial.

BOTH MEN AND HORSES WEAR COLLARS! - The . difference is not only in size and character, but a man can select a fit—a. horse can’t. Therefore the necessity for good-judgment in buying the Genuine Kind. A cheap; badly stuffed collar of inferior leather-will not only harm a horse’s skin, but break in important parts before it has been in use, maybe a couple months. Our "All Kip Team Collars,’’ ‘‘Wood Faced’’ never fail to give comfort to the horse, and double the money’s worth to the farmer. We are always particular about the fit—1Ihafs why we have in stock so many sizes. Bring around your horses,-large or small, and let us take care of their collar and harness needs.

Over in Abany, TexaB, lives Dick McCarty, an original news­ paper man of the old Bchool He prints the following creed upon his business card, and we would that, it were adopted by every editor in this broad laml: “Over in Shackleford county, in the city of Albany, there’s a little printshop, where public never comes except they want to work the editor. It’s only a little two- by-four county sheet. Each week it’schuck full of g.ammatical errors and you can walk out of its circa lation in two hours—butthank God it’s the exponent of but one man. Over it’s humble doorway hangs the horgeshoe of good luck, framed with pictures of poverty. In its sanctum are only three gods to whom its editor pays his vows The Supreme Architect of the Uni-: verse, our wife and our conscience —with a little golden-haired tot thrown in; wliich gives strength' to muscles.and inspiration to brains It’s editor is lank, lean, red-headed and ignorant, and: at times so thinly dad that he has to turn his back to the wall when he bows to the ladies. He dines on a plain pine table. Public patronage has with­ held from his fragile table sweet meats and tempting viands—but thanks to God and his conscience, he don’t have .to wash down his bacon and beans with the slop of public opinion; and it ain’t pep­ pered and salted with public policy and political graft. We ain’t got no black pants, white vest, scissor- tailed coat or beegnm hat, our wife just can’t learn as to eat pie with a fork—and to save our life we jnst can’t sjt down in a parlor with a lot of wingless butterflies and brainless dudes and act silly and talk like a daFii ioo^ therelfore, polite society has slammed its door in our face. We are not the daddy of the King’s English, and we haven't got a big stock of honeyed words; we don’t wear the sham smile of a saint, or parade up and down the earth arrayed in the robe of righteousness, and we do not pat the public on the back to make it love us, and what we say or think in the closet we pen it on paper, shout it from the house-tops. The upper croBt turns up their nose at oiiir plain English and says we are not cultured, but we are not here to tickle the fancy ot fools or make music for monkeys, but we are here to speak our sentiments and apeak the truth, tho’ it slay the multitude, and pulls down society’s totterii g temple. We are not a strict sectarian or doctrinaire, but we believe every word of the sacred ges of the Holy Bible from Genesis to Revelations, and we are going to stand by it and live by it until God or somebody else writes a better one. W ecarenothingfor the dogmas and creeds of the churches, and our plain spoken English and code of morals may not suit the preacher—but ’tain't none of -nobody’s business; we’ll settle our account with God. .And tho we have to walk up and down the earth in a suit of sunburr, and dine on the crust of hope—we will never cringe under the dainty lash, nor bow to the god of good, or suck the dainty nipples of dame fashion —but we will look up at the hill tops and let our eyes rest upon the eternal star of truth—and tho we may be barefooted, and the road may be rough, long and lonesome, and tho there may not be any free luncn counters or cushioned seats along our pathway of duty, yet by the graceof God and if our stock of grit holds out, we will place onr banner upon the crest of that beau­ tiful star. And when our work on earth is done, we will lay our red head down on the bosom of God and telephone the angles to bring over the old ship of Zion, and we will sail to the paradise ol God amid the sound of trumpets and then we will don the spotless white robe, and St*. Peter will fetch us our jeweled crown and golden wings, and we will fly up and down the golden streets of the Kew Jetu- salem and toot our golden trumpet for Shackleford county forever and ever,” A .

They jjalve our joys, they double onr sorrows, they, treble onr expenses, Uiey qnadruple our cares, they exeide our mag­ nanimity, they increase our self- respect, waken our enthusiast, arouse our affections, control our property, and outuianever us in everything. This worldis a dreary world without them. In fact, I mjiy say without prospect of suc­ cessful contradiction, that Without them this wouldn’t be much of a world anyhow. . We love them, and the dear things can’t help it; we control them and the precious fellows don’t know it. A s huobands they are convenient though not always on hand; as beaux they are by no means ^matchless;” They are most agreeable, as visitors, Kandyrat state'fairs, and indispen- sible at oyster saloons. They are splendid as escorts for come other fellow’s «ife or sister, and as friends they are better than women. As our fathers, they are inexpressibly grand; A man may be a failure in business, a wreck in constitution not enough to boast of as beuucy, nothing as a wit, less than nothing 1 X asa legi:I itorfor women’s right0} and not -very urilliaut as ia member of the press but if our father, we overlook his short-comings and cover his peccadilloes with the di­ vine mantle of charity.

He found the parlor win­ dow open and merely inserted his right arm and removed a few trifling articles. Now, my client’s arm is not himself, and I fail 4o Bee how you can punish the whole individual for an offense committed only by one of his limbs.” ,“That argument,” said the judge is very well put, following it logi­ cally I sentence the defendant’s arm to one year’s imprisonment. He can accompany it or not, as he chooses.” . ■ The defendant, with his lawyer’s assistance, unscrewed his cork arm and leaving it in the dock, walked out.—Ex.

Has $6 Worthof Hogs, $100 Worth of Dogs. A citizen of Concord township, in listing his taxes liast week, returned three pigs at $2 each and live dogs at $20 each—$6 worth of hogs and $100 worth of dogs. While the dif­ ference in the number and value of pigs may be contrasted with the number and value of dogs unfavor­ ably to the citizen aforesaid; he should possibly be given credit for listing the dogs for taxation, some thing that is rarely done. Itshould be said, however, that the purpose in listing them was not so much desire to pay taxes on the canines as to secure for them the protection of the law. The courts have held that a dog is not property unless it is listed for taxation. If it is listed the owner can prosecute any one who may do it hurt.—Landmark.

IX.MOCKSY;!LLE1 N. C.. THURSDAY. JUNE 25. 1908.No. 51 RAILWAYS UNITE COUNTRY. They Knit North and SouA To­ gether After Civil War. Leslie’s Weekly. The Soathern railways, more than brotherhood, knitted the ISorth and South together after the war. The railways gave pros­ perity to the Soath by encourag­ ing immigration and bringing in people to help do the npbailding. Memphis twenty years ago had a population of 64,000. Today it has 102,000. The railways did it. A. few years ago hundreds of places in Louisiana, like Crowley, for ex­ ample, were only prairie land. The Southern Pacific built a ata tion at Crowley, and today that place boasts of 7,000 persons. Oth­ er railroads did the same thing for a hundred other thriving places in the Southern States. The South­ ern Railway went into the waste places of the South and caused town* to spring up. TheSeaboard Air Line went into a country of blasted hopes, and built up new industries, and with them new courage. To a reign of penury the Atlantic Coast Line brought plen­ ty—by putting cash into circula­ tion where no cash had been be­ fore, The Southern Railway gave the exact service necessary for the healthy development of the States through which it runs. It not on­ ly created new industries but itself became the chief customer for the products of the new mills. TheSouth needed $200,000,000 for farther immediate development. The Southern railways were tec r- iug Iiiat vast investment-of North-, era capita) along their lines—when tbe noreasoning agitation against all railroads set in and. temporar ily at least, baited the Southward movement of money. One hund­ red and six new rail way enterpris­ es were under way in the South when the politicians began " using the Southern railways as footballs. Thoaenew roads were to be for the development of timber and mining regions and to handle “long hauls” in Texas and Oklahoma. The promoters of the enterprises' have, tor the moment'beeu lriglit- ened away. They will get hack on the job as soou. as a certain brand of politiciau is relegated to obliv­ ion. It was the principal roads of the There Is No Democratic Party. Former Senator and former Go-T ernor David B. Hill, ol New York, who has not been active in politics for several years, handed out the following warm interview just be­ fore he sailed for Europe last Thurs­ day:' “There is no Democratic party. When I met the late GovernorAlt geld in a little room ap a ba ;k stairs in a Chicago hotel shortly be­ fore the first so called Bryan con­ vection, I told him that the politics which he represented would drive the Democratic party to hell. Then when he begged for another try four years later, I said: ‘You are most there; stop before you have absolutely ruined tjie party.’ But Bryan was nominated, as I saw the futility of a minority report with only ten votes to back me. “I admit that the Republican party is badly disorganized at the present time. Both parties are disorganized.

State legislatures were.pri­ marily responsible and , they caa- not shift the blame to the National Admiuiistration, for there was no rate reduction laws passed by Judge Furches’ Will.

A form ol the damage suit indus­ try little known where the stock law prevails, is quite an item where stdclt can get on a railroad track, especially about the time a train is coming along. A cow or steer that would hardly bring $10 in open market is worth at least $100 alter it is killed by a train. In South Carolina the Seaboard Air Line railroad has suffered from that sort of thing until patience is exhausted and the worm has turned. The division counsel at Columbia has brought suit in the Circuit Conrt of Lexington county, S. C., against Sanders Meetz, a farmer of that county. With great solemnity, dignity and impressive phrasing, the complaint states that on the 13th of last April, near the Btation ot Leaphardt, a certain bull, which the plaintili is informed and be­ lieves is the property of Mr. Meetz, did stand on the track in front of a Seaboard passenger train, moving at a high, though not above sched­ ule rate of speed, and in spite of whistle blowing and other means of warning required by law repeat­ edly made, wantonly, willfully and wickedly failed, refused and neg­ lected to get off the tracks, to the great danger to the safety and lives of the crew and passengers of said train and damage of its engine and care—$500 worth. Mr. Meetz has replied with a suit iu a magistrate’s court-against the road to recover $95 from the road for the killing of the bnll. And the end is not yet.—Ex.

Chicago, June 16,—Amid scenes of stirring enthusiasm the Republican national convention of 1908 began its deliberations at noon today in the presence of an assemblage estimated at upwards of 14,000 people, with the sounds of patriotic airs alternat­ ing with the frenzied shouts for Roosevelt, Taft and other popular heroes, the first tocsin of the coming struggle from the graceful orator of Michigan, Senator Julius Caesar Bur­ rows, and the initial formalities which started this momentous gath­ ering into meeting. The opening session lasted less than two hours and was less notable for the business accomplished than for the opportunity it afforded of seeing again this stirring picture of the peo­ ple assembled from every corner of the country to select a candidate for President of the United States. The actual work of the day was quickly accomplished and tonight the various important committees on credentials, platform, organization, etc., are pre­ paring for the more' important busi­ ness to come. ■ < Earlp in the day all roads in Chica­ go turned toward the huge pile known as the Coliseum, with its back toward. Lake Michigan and its gothic turrets fronting a rather shabby section of the city.. Here centered the conven­ tion throngs^-State delegations, sin­ gly and in groups, some with march­ ing clubs and bands, and banners for their favorites, the Ohio delegation with a huge blue silk standard bear­ ing the portrait of Secretary Taft. At front and rear the great building was beseiged by steady ,streams of humanity, until at noon almost every seat in the structure was occupied and great crowds stood outside to catch the echoes from within. Thescenewhen the vast assem­ blage was called to order, was one of impressive dignity, of animation and of. color. In the central arena sat the delegations, almost 1,000 strong and back or them their alternates, another thousand in number with the standards of the States rising here and there above the turbulent sea of heads. The points of vantage, immediately in front, were held by Ohio, New York, Pennsylvania, Indi­ ana and Wisconsin, each having a candidate, while further back rank after rank, were ranged and other States and Territories, Hawaii, Por­ to Rico, the Philippines and Alaska appropriately forming the outlaying fringe of the official delegation. A- round this central mass of delegates and alternates swept the long lines Of spectators, in rising tiers and in solid masses, men and women, the latter in gay hued summer gowns and with fluttering fans arid waving handkerchiefs. Higher up another gallery made the entire circuit of the vast enclosure. Abovethfe ever- moving, kaleidoscopic scene, bent the huge semi-circular roof, its steel girders looped with bunting and a- blaze with electric devices, while on every side the national colors were woven into sunbursts, shields, and patriotic symbols. In front of the delegates stretched the mammoth platform, two hundred feet square, arid accomodating l,800 distinguish­ ed guests, including ambassadors and ministers from foreign coun-, tries,,besides the officers of the con- I vention and members of thenationai committee, _ „ __ Operates over 7,000 Miles of Railroad.

MOCKSVILLE, N. C, JUNE 25, !90S. William H. Taft will be the next president of the United States. There are hot times scheduled for Charlotte today, and the drug stores are still selling-booze. The friends ot Locke Craig are having one fit after another, since Kitchin forged ahead in the race. Teddy Boosevelt is a popular man as was demonstrated at the Chicago Convention last Wednes day. The Record was the first paper to run the name of our next presi­ dent at the head of its editorial column. Cotton still remains over twelve cents a pound, which doesn’t re­ mind the farmer very much of the dark days of 1893. We notice that the meat packers have had another meeting and raised the price of meat. Let her go—we can do without the same old way.

With hundreds of thousands of dollars being sent from the north in exchange for early southern fruits, the man with the hoe and the peach orchard should wear a broad grin. Someof the Democraii 3 papers should not be so hard on the Demo­ crat candidates for Governor. The very one they abuse, they may not only have to vote for, but ask to pardon them out of the pen,—Ex change.

Trtmeiidoas Demonstration, Con­ tinuing Nearly a Half Hour Greds Announcement of the Vote, Chicago, June 18.—For President of the United States, William H. Taft, of Ohio. Taftonthefirst ballot; Taft by 702 votes—Taft by the unanimous consent of the convention. Such is the record of the culminat­ ing day of the Republican national convention of 1908, effected amid scenes of tumultuous enthusiasm and after a nerve-racking continuous session lasting nearly eight hours. With a President named and plat­ form enunciated, there remains on­ ly the nomination of the Vice-Presi­ dent. Tonight the whole city is giv­ en over to wild exultation in honor of the new candidate whose name goes echoing through the country. It was late in the afternoon be­ fore the convention, sweltering with the intense heat and weary after nearly seven hours continuous ses­ sion, reached the culminating act— the ballot. Amid the pandemonium and with the galleries in full control Cliairman Lodge ordered the roll call of States to begin for the vote on President. . Such a call, under such circumstances, has probably never before occurred in the history of national conventions. A ballot was taken to nominate a candidate a candidate for President while the convention was frantically cheering for a man whose name had not been presented to the convention. The votes were being counted for Taft while the people were shouting for Roosevelt. WilliamHowardTaftis a native of Cincinnati, and will be 51 years old next September. He is an aca­ demic graduate of Yale University and a law graduate of "Cincinnati College. Hehasheld many positions of honor, being at the present time Secretary of War. p Thenational Republican conven­ tion concluded with the nomination of James S. Sherman, of New York, for Vice-President. The enormous throngs had waited through an hour of oratory', sweltering in the heat­ laden atmosphere, with only here and there a few vacant spots in the remote galleries—the delegates in the broad arena below, the bright- hued lines of feminity in the encir­ cling galleries and over all the en- velopiug folds of "Old Glory.” It was distinctly a Sherman crowd, with galleries already trained into the choruses of Sherman songs. _ Cana Route One Items.

SOM E TfflNGS THAT WILL KEEP YOU GRINNING FOR A WEEK. wSpeaIuiig of Love.” Speafcin’ of Love,” said Mr. San­ ders, although no one had spoken of it—not even the pretty young steno­ grapher, who scorns to deny that she knows something of the feeling, and who is always ready, if approach­ ed in the right spirit, to show cherished photograph of a very young man with his hair parted the middle and plastered dbwn on Pflfh side—“why in the Nation does it come on in spring? Asn't it jest as good for cold weather? Does the fust frost kill it? An* ef so, why don’t somebody patent a flannel- lined box that’ll keep it whilst the big freezes is a-gwine on? That1 what pesters me. Ef it’s the most precious thing that the world knows anything about, why don’t we have speshually contrived hot-houses for it, so’s we kin take it out on pleas­ ant days on’ see ef it’s swivelled or swunk sense the last time we han- pled it. I ain’t speakin’ for myself, the Lord knows! I’ve seed an he&m too much endurin’ the last fifty years or so, to be bothered much. It’s the youngsters I’m thinkin’ of; I want ’em for to feel good when the sap ain’t arisin’ in the sweet- gum trees; I want to see ’em settin’ -in front of a big- hickory-wood fire, roasting taters, parchin’ goobers, an’ holdin’ hands when the old folks is looking t’other way. Accordin to-my way of thinkin’, winter is the time for reel true love. Anythihg that can’t stand frost an' a freeze or two is a mighty puny weed.

You never can tell what kinder chicken is gwine for to be hatched from the egg that is found in the hay loft.”—Joel Chandler Harris in Uncle Remus Magazine. THIS RAG OF FREEDOM. This bloody flag of freedom, some­ times known as The Hornet, stands for the poor man first, last and all the time. Away with ye aristocrats, dudes, and money-changers. Wedo not need you in our business. When you die, you are as dead as the poor­ est man that ever walked the earth. Your gold and diamonds, stock and lands will remain here when you are gone, and they will not cool your parched tongue. This sheet has no objection to a rich man, provided he is not a miser, and wilTkeep his cash out of sight. It is a sin and a shame to taunt us poor dogs with the good things of this world—us fellows who have not enough cash to buy a back­ door hand-out. Butye editor does not need money—perish the thought at once. He lives on gas,, buys .his clothes on credit and skips his. house rent. Hegoeth forthin the morn­ ing half-starved and cometh bad starved. Heisbeseigedonall side- by bill-collectors and his dreams art troubled by visions of the poor house. His creditors roll around or thastreets in luxury and blow in their cash on cold drinks, bug juice and ham and eggs, and are too poor to pay the editor 75 cents on back•wi subscription. Whenarichman de­ parts this life, the editors give him a column send-off. When a poor man dies the newspapers give him three lines. And when a society belle marries, the editor devotes his valuable space to an elaborate and long-winded article, describing each and every article worn on the event­ ful day, and setting forth the many charming personalities of the lovely bride, when probably she is as ugly as a mud fence. But suppose the bride is a farmers’ daughter, and the groom a poor man, you will sec ; something like this -in your paper: “John Smith and Jane Jones were married last week.” The length of the article depends on the amount of cash the couple is worth. Thank the Lord, The Hornet quill-driver is not of this calibre. The poor boy or girl, man or woman, gets just as big a write-up as the richest person that ever walked the face of the earth Ye editordoesnotcare a continen tal about being on the popular side, and doesd’t give a whoop for the sissy-silly society which is trying to run this country. We believe in “equal rights to all and special priv­ ileges to none.” Itistrue that the rich duck enjoys himself in this old world, but the poor man will get his reward in the .world to come. Of course the rich man will get his too, but the rewards will probably be different. There are exceptions to all rules, aud ail rich men are not in the class whom we have been speak­ ing of. Those who think they own the earth, and are better than the honest poor man, are-the fellows we have reference to. All men were created equal, but to hear some of them talk now, there is a thunder­ ing sight of difference, and we be- lieye the difference is in favor of the poor man. We are not a Socialist by any means, but we believe in the equal division of blackberry pie, each man sharing alike, with no fa­ vors asked, and so long as the crop holds out we shall not starve, altho’ some of our creditors may. If you call at our shop and cannot find us, you may know that we are out in the briars beside some poor but hon­ est tiller of the soil, picking black­ berries, which are the. rich . man’s delight, and the poor man’s friend. We have wandered far from our subject, and should we try to get back, it would be giving too much space, so we only class this article as being a few random thoughts from the pen of one of the great common people to his companions the labor­ ers in the mills and factories and the tillers of the soil—men whom God endowed with brains, if not with money. Funny Paragraphs. A Dutchman who has lost several hundred dollars in dealing in op lions was asked whether he was a ‘bull” or a “bear?” “I vas neider; I vas a shackass,” he replied, A man by the name of Corn was married at Rochelle, Hl;, to a Iadj by the name of Wheat, which was all right enough, but the foel choir sang “ What Shall the Harvest be!” iud the audience shouted, “Nub­ bins.” A woman was testifying in court in behalf of her son. She swore that he had worked on a farm evei since he was born. The lawyer who cross-examined her said: “You iSBert that your son has worked on i farm ever since he was born!” “I do.” replied the woman." “What did he do the first year!” “He did the milking.” The lawyer collapsed. - Concord Drug Stores.

As usually treated, a sprained ankle' will disable the injured person fora month or more, but by applying Cham- oerlain’a Liniment and observing the IirectionB with each bottle faithfully, a cure may be affected in many cases in less than one week’s time. This liniment is a most remarkable prep- iratidh.

Sanford Sons Go- Frank A. Hampton, as president of a bad debt collection agency, was tried in the Federal Court at Cha r­ lotte last week for the fraudulent use of the mails in connection with their mode of collecting debts. Ihe case was thrown out of court. Clyde Pinner, a lad 9 years old, died at the home of bis parents in Asheville Monday from the effects of hydrophobia. The child was in terrible agony but conscious up to the last and requested that the dog I be killed so that he could not bite any one else. William P. Black, a iormei sa­ loon keeper and now under indict­ ment for running a blind tiger, pa­ raded the streets of Asheville Monday armed with a Winchester, a shot gun and three pistols and threatening to kill Magistrate Rey­ nolds. He was finally locked up and held without bail. No Need of Buffering From Rheumatism. It is a mistake to allow anyone to 3uffer from rheumetism, a? the pain can always be relieved, and in most cases a cure effected by applying Ghamberlain’s Liniment. .The relief from pain which it affords is alone worth many tiroes its cost. It makes deep and rest possible Even in cases if long standing this liniment should be used on account of the relief which . affords. Do not be discouraged un­til you have given it a trial. Many sufferers have been surprised and de­lighted with its pain-relieying qual­ ities. 25 and 50 cent sizes for sale by Cl. C; Sanfordsons Go. Gov.

If one feels dull and spiritless, in the spring or early summer they call it “spring fever.” But there is no fever—usually. It is the af ter effect jf our winter habits. The r.erves are no8tly at fault. Tired, worn-out nerves leave us languid, -lifeless, and without ambition. A few doses of Dr: Shoop’s Restorative will absolute­ ly and quickly change all of these Se- pressing-symptoms. . The Restorative of course won’t bring you back to full health In a day or two, but it will do enough m 48 hours to satisfy you that ,he remedy is reaching that “tired spot.” Druggists everywhere are ad­ vising its use as a splendid and prompt general tonic. Ii gives more vim and more spirtt to the spoonful than any other known nerve or constitu­ tional tonic.
