MARCH 16.1909.No. 36- A WAYFARER’S FANCIES. The Nut Shell. A trust is a horrible thing, if you are not in it. Your enemy is glad to have you waste time hammering him. There­ fore, don’t. The bass horn may be heard two miles, but the violin is king of the orchestra. The elephant is the most powerful of beasts, but the jackass has him beat a block—on noise. Instead of abusing the world, try your hand at making your part of it less deserving of abuse. Thefactthata man doesn’t call you a liar, is not proof that he be­ lieves all that you are saying. The mouse may think himself a lion. Do not trouble yourself to un­ deceive him, for it is “harmless error.” Yourwisdom may be exceeding great. Be careful, therefore, lest you over-awe and discourage those less favored. Money panics Should be abolished. They hurt all honest men, and fur­ nish excuse and protection to many a. rogue. Do hot talk too frequently of the mighty deeds you have done, lest you meet with some son-of-a-gun who will investigate. This is the best world I know any- tning about, and a sudden change of climate might injure my constitu­ tion. Will remain until forced to leave. The March winds and the equinoc­ tial gales we have in their season; but the fellow who blows about his big income, we have always with us —save only at tax-listing time. Arkansas Goes Dry. Little Rock, March I.—After three days of hard fighting, the state wide prohibition bill passed the house this afternoon, S3 to 27. A bill to submit prohibition to a vote of the people was defeated, 44 to 35, A measure was intro­ duced to prohibit the sale of Coca- Cola. Mr. Shoaf Convicted of Mistreat­ ing Fields Child—Noted Case Tried at Last. In Davidson Superior Court at Lexington, a few days ago, the case against H. B Shoaf and wife, iu- dicted for brutally mistreating a little girl named Fields, who had been Ielt in their care at Thomas- ville, was tried. Shoaf was con­ victed and Mrs. Siioaf aquitted. Shoaf was sentenced to four months on the roads. This case attracted the attentiou of the State, if not, the country, at the time. Months ago probably early last summer, it was discov­ ered that the Fields child, who had beeu left in charge of the Shoafs at Thomasville, was being inhu­ manly treated. It was alleged that she was beaten uutil her body was almost a mass ot sores; that in other ways the child’s treatment was such as no humane person would administer to a brute. Pub­ lic indignation was aroused. Shoaf and his wife were arrested and jailed in Lexington. Rumors of a mob forming to lynch them caused the officials to carry the prisoners to Charlotte, where they remained awhile and were released on bonds of $500 each. The trial was put off from one court to another, final­ ly coming, up a few days ago after the general public had about for­ gotten the incident.—Ex. Modem Political Speech. Tell how glad you are to greet such an intelligent audience. Laud your party to heaven. Preach the opposing party into hades. Men­ tion your opponent’s name. If you are a better man than he is, or if you have the crowd on him, abuse and make fun of him. If the crowd cheers, repeat the above un­ til your time is out; and close by saying you are sorry you hadn't time to discuss all the issues. This is a modern campaign speech. —The Nut Shell. A bill “ to prohibit the sale of intoxicating liquors within four ' miles of a certain school in district No. 4, Bladen county,” passed the Legislature a few days ago. Sever­ al similar bills were introduced during the session and one can but wonder, seeing that we have a State Prohibition law that prohibits the sale of liquor anywhere except in medical depositories and drug stores. Some of the legislative re­ porters could make good copy by explaining some of these mysterious local measnaes. Surely the drug store liquor trade hasn’t become so “numerous” (as they used to say in south Iredell) that it is disturl- ing schools—Statesville Landmark. Should be There. We notice that some lawmakeis have to go home and be gone from their post of duty for a week at a time. Most of them are lawyers and they have to go home and look after'their clients—get their fees, doubtless. Don’t blame them for wanting their fees. If like the rest of us poor devils, they need them. But they are needed some Vhpre else and they should remain where-the people put them. Lame Shoulder.

Apply it freely and rub the parts vigorously a t each application and a quick cure is certain. For sale by C. CL Sanford Roosevelt, Wilson and Pinchot Join the Farmers’ Union. A few days ago President Roose­ velt (he was President then), Sec­ retary of Agricnlture \f ilson and Giflord Piuchot, government fores­ ter, were made full-fledged “far­ mers,” having been admitted “on sight” to membership in the Nati­ onal Farmers’ Union. The honors were conferred by Pi esident Charles S. Barrett, of Union City, Ga , of the National Farmers’ Union, who, with other officials of the Union, was in Washington at the time. The action did not pass, however, without criticism, some of the members of the Union holding that Barrett exceededhis authority in the matter.—Ex, Price of Foodstuffs Jump, Notwith- Nenton Enterprise. The strange and the hard feature of the present depression in busi­ ness is the abnormally high price of flour, meats and all kinds of foodstuffs for man and stock While all kinds of manufacturing business is languishing and the managers facing the strong pro­ bability of having to further reduce wages of laborers and curtail work, the cost of living is increasing. The lesson that this should teach Southern farmers, at the thresh- hold of another planting seasou, is to increase their grain crops, specialize more on meats and the by-products of the farm and raise less cotton. Low price cotton sold to buy foodstuffs, will this year prove a losing business. And a 10.000.000 ba.le crop of cotton will bring more money than either a 12.000.000 or 14,000,000 bale crop. From Alexander and Had Never Seen a Train. A family consisting of a man and his wife and several children arrived in Statesville Wednesday morning on the train from Taylors ville and left on Ro. 36 for a point in Virgiuia. While sitting in the waiting rooin of the Statesville sta­ tion the woman, who is apparently abont 35 or 40 years old, remarked to another passenger that she lived some distance from Taylorsville and that the train on which she rode to Statesville from Taylors­ ville was the first she had ever seen. It is assumed that it was also the first the children had ever seen.—Statesville Landmark. Program for Sub-Missionary Insti­ tute, M. E. Church, South, Advance Mar. 31, to Apr.'2, ’09.

Notice to Magistrates. “It shall be the duty of each Jus­ tice of the Peace on or before Mon­ day of every term of the Superior, Criminal or Inferior Court of his County to furnish the Clerk of said court with a list of the names and offenses of all parties tried and fin­ ally disyosed of by said justice of the peace, together witk the papers in each case in all criminal actions since the last term of the Superior, Crim­ inal or Inferior court. The clerk of the Court shall hand a copy of such I list to the solicitor and to the grand jury at each term of the court, and no indictment shall be found against any party whose case has been so finally disposed of by any Justice of the Peace: Provided, That this section shall ] not be deemed to extend or enlarge or otherwise affect the jurisdiction of Justices of the Peace, except as provided by law.”—Code Sec. 906. “For failure to make the above report as to pay over fines to the Countv Treasurer. See Code Secs. 764, 765, 8678.” It is believed that many Magis­ trates, through inadvertance of course, fail to report all fines, etc. In this way the school fund suffers materially. To make it easy for Magistrates, the State Supt. has caused to be printed a blank form of Magistrate’s report. A copy of this form has been sent to every Magistrate in Davie county, whose address is known. Others can get a copy on application to the County Supt. or to the Clerk of tke Court. The Magistrates of Davie county are requested to send to the Clerk of the Court a full report of all cases disposed of, for the pRst three years, save those previously sent in by them. Those failing to send in their report before Monday of Court will be reported to the Solicitor and to the grand jury. J. D. H odges .

According to GoveiTiment report of 1908, ‘'The Secret is out at Last;”—The Southerner, contrary to cur­ rent opinion is not Lazy. Shiftless, Indifferent, or Careless. “He is Sick.” The South is afflicted with and harbors that most dreaded treacherous and destructive of all diseases, Anemia, Pernicious Anemia. The average Southerner is a sufferer of this Health destroying Parasite which destroys the red blood cells producing an impoverished condition of the Blood* which is characterized by extreme Pallor, General Debility, Weakness, Loss of Vigor—Lack of Ambition, and general undermining of Vitality. The Climate and Atmospheric conditions destroy the Vitality. Let him get over it, get rid of it, get well, and he is as good physically as the best America can boa3t. If there is health of the slightest degree in your sys­ tem, Wake it up, call it forth. Pull yourself together, man, won an or child; all can and should be well. To neglect yourself is to reflect upon the wisdom of your Maker. Nature intends all Humanity to enjoy a full measure of Health and Vigor. If you do not, the fault is your own, for you are yourself to blame for it. Wondei1S have been accomplished for the People oI Tennessee, Georgia, Alabama and Mississippi.

Winston Journal, It- is pretty generally reported that the great express robbery that was not pulled off at Mt. Airy Monday night, February 22. was simply a fake. It is said that (he officers have beeu able to obtain no clue whatever and after investiga­ tion the conclusion seems to be that the whole thing was a cooked-up affair. It is ungenerously hinted that the express messenger was in search of a little notoriety. Prof. H. A. Howell, of Havana, Cuba, Recommend. Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. •‘As long ago as I can remember my mother was a faithful user and friend of Chamberlain’s Cough Re medy, but never iu my life have I re­ alized its true value until now,” writes Prof H. A. Howell, of Howell’s American School, Havana, Cuba. “On the night of February 3rd our baby was taken sick with a very se­ vere cold; the next day was worse and the following night his condition was desperate. He could not die down and it was necessary to hat e him in the arms every moment. Even then his breathing was difficult. I did not think he would live until morning. At last I thought of my m other’s re­ medy, Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy, which we gave, and it affordey prompt relief, and now three days later, he has fully recovered.

Tlie tragic act was committed in a room at62S Pennsylvania avenue, northwest, by tying a towel about his neck and turning on the gas. The body was discovered about 10 o’clock this morning lying across the cot, partially dressed, and the Emergency Hospital ambulance was summoned. Dr. Sparks, of the hospital, pronounced life ex­ tinct. Later the coroner examined the body and gave a certificate of suicide by asphyxiation. The body was rein oved to the morgue. Helper was last seen alive late yesterday afternoon. He appear­ ed despondent, declaring “There is no jus-tic in this world,” and that he “ Was tired of living, any­ way.” Nothing more was seen of him until the body was found. A nephew of the suicide, Daniel Ott Helper, and a niece, Mrs. E. W. Mooring, live near Mocksville, N. C., the site of the old Helper estate. I The Municipal Election. The ti Tie for holding the munici­ pal election! is near at hand, and it is wise to cast about for men who will fill the office of mayor and al dermen ;o the satisfaction of the people a:id who will do the most for the upbi ilding of the town and her interests. I think that polities should be laid aside in the coming election, and that the people should choose wisely and well, good progressive and brosd-minded men for these of­ fices—m in who will represent all the people and who will strive for the advancement and growth of- the town. I wish to put the name of one of Mock: wille’s most progressive and best business men before the people for their consideration—a man who I know V-Ould fill the office of mayor with credit not only to himself but to the er..tire town, the gentleman in question being Mr. G.

Editor Record:—We pulled out of Springfield, Mo., at night, and when I awoke next morning, I was in the state of Kansas, amid the pra- ries. The portion of the state I passed through was fine farming land, and the nice residences, good barns, and well-kept lands were good to look upon. On nearly every ranch could be seen the windmill to pro­ vide water for the stock and often you would see these windmills out in the fields, far from the residences. Everything was covered up in snow, which prevented one from getting a better idea of the land, etc. While passing through Kansas, the state of sockless Jerry Simpson, I saw iny first coyote. They remind one right much of the wolf, only not so large. When we reached Colorado, along after we passed Burlington, I first realized the meaning of the treeless glains. As far as the eye could reach, a bleak and desolate looking waste stretched out before the gaze. But before I go further, will men­ tion the Kansas cyclone cellars. Near­ ly every house you pass in western Kansas, could be seen nearby each residence* mound of earth with of­ ten a piece of stove pipe sticking out; the ,doors to these cellars open on the end, and I was informed cel­ lars contain beds, so that if night overtakes them, they can spend the tfepe in comfort. These necessary juncts to each home did not ap­ peal to my fancy as making that section a very desirable place for a home, though the people seem pros­ perous and happy. Well, back to Colorado, Over these treeless plains in the winter the wind sweeps the snow before it into banks, and in many places the railroads are forced to build snow fences to prevent the snow from filling up the cuts, for sometimes the tracks are clear and a strong wind begins to blow, and in a few hours drifts are piled up so deep that the trains cannot plow through. Colorado is indeed a pic­ turesque country. Aften you are in a beautiful valley, then you go into the mountains, and in almost inac- cessable places you come upon a nice town near some thriving mining camp. When we reached Colorado Springs, it was a revelation, for there you find a thriving, hustling, beautiful city. Soon after leaving Colorado Syrings, Pike’s Peak loom­ ed up before us with its snow-clad peak which is reached by a cog-wheel • railroad. From the view I had of it I would not enjoy a ride to and from its summit. From there on moun­ tains and snow without end, and be­ fore we crossed the divide I was sit­ ting in the smoker when the conduc­ tor came in with a trainman and opened a box and begun to get out snow shoes and heavy gloves, to meet the emergency of a probable snow blockade. With two engines tug­ ging away you could see that the train was making slow time, and the conductor pointed out of the win- 'dow, across where the train was winding and doubling around the curves to a place where there was most danger. I took in the situa t.ion at once, for the wind was sweep­ ing the snow off the ground, and at times it was pelting against the win­ dow panes like a snow storm, though no snow was falling, only being drif­ ted by the strong winds, and he re­ marked, “If we can pass that point, we are safe.” I began to think a- bout rations out there, balked in a snow bank far from any place where communication could be had for re­ lief, but we pulled through before night, and the next day we passed t!iroUfe^fcth. the home of the Mor- roon propnet. ■-You are scarcely ever out of sight of mountains after you reach Colorado until you get to the coast. An occasional stretch of com­ paratively level lartd will be seen, but mountains everywhere. The Easterners conception of a valley is thrown down, when he gets out here. Now when you reach Salt L a k e valley, you will find a valley indeed, and one or the richest and most beautiful in the United States.

Sanford BrighamYoung certainly reached a point that most nearly approximates a paradise, when he planted his col­ ony there, and begun the foundation of the beautiful city of Salt Lake. Through this magnificent valley the railroad carries you for miles, and you behold on every side the finest farms, I might say in the world, for what nature has not done, man is doing to make it a veritable garden spot, watered by irrigation ditches all along where it is needed. After leaving Salt Lake City, the next place of any size was Provo, and then Pocatello, Idaho. In passing through these seemingly inaccessi­ ble mountain fastnesses, along some j Some Gentle Jabs.

Along the solid almost perpendicular rock cliffs you will see the ditch hewn out of solid rock in places, then a wooden flume, carrying the water over some ravine or valley on to another point where it bores a tunnel through the solid rock, and on until it reaches the distributing point. Thousands in money and years of work have resulted in the building of these irrigation projects, and the results have proven their worth. Inpassing through North­ ern Utah and Southwest Idaho, I saw the largest sheep ranches with thousands of sheep in droves being fed on hay thrown down on the snow. Friday, the 15th of January, we passed through the WnaRlla In dian reservation, and for the first time I saw the red men and their wickiups. Soon after 12 o’clock, m. we reached Umatilla. Ore., and there we learned that the road over which I was traveling was blockaded by snow slides between that point and Portland. So after a long, tiresome wait, the conductor was ordered to take his train to Pasco, and go down to Portland over the North Bank road, a new railroad recently built at a cost of over forty-five million dollars, a part of the Hill system. When I passed through White Sal­ mon that night everything at the de pot was dark, and snow nearly knee deep, and the town miles away, so I proceeded to Vancouver, and re­ turned to my destination the next day. On my return to North Caro­ lina I shall come by way of Chicago, and I am coming soon after April 1st. I have resigned my position, here, and on my return to North Carolina I will give those who con­ template moving to the great North­ west the benefit of my experience. The same energy expended here to insure success, will bring success in North Carolina, and you will not have to sacrifice the customs of our Southland if you stay where you are. Money is nice, but there are other things in this life more essential to real success and happiness. E. H. Morris , White Salmon, Wash., 3-16-09. Mints Will Retire Indian Head Penny. TheUnitedSlalesmint in this eiry will in a few day destroy the dies from which the present one- eent pieces are made and will sink the new dies with the bronze med­ al design of the head of Abraham Lincoln, us ordered by the treasury department several days ago. The familiar Indian head on the present penny was made many years ago from a portrait of Mary Cunningham, a litlle Philadelphia girl whose father was an employee of the mint. Officials at the mint say that the pennies are the most habitually lost coins in all Uncle Sara’s fractional cnrretcy. While none of them are retired because of loss of weight through wear, nearly all of which come into the people's possession are from the miutage of compara­ tively recent- years. They simply disappear through a thousand and one different chan­ nels, and never again engage in their mission as suitable exchange for -commodities of small value. With the retirement of the present ^ - penny A price-mark looks all right on almost anything except a man. A legal light naturally feels put out if the judge turns him down. It’s no disgrace to work for a living—unless yon work others. Some people are always looking for a new kind of mistake to make.

To the Editor of The Observer: On my trip out here in January I not only marked mv trail, but left ananchorage, and if nothing Providen­ tially hinders, on April I, I will turn my face to the rising: sun, with the hope that I will reach God's country in a few days safely. My trip out here was made with the intention of seeing and investigating before de­ ciding. I have seen, investigated and decided: ‘ ‘That thy country shall be my country; thy people shall be my people; thy God my God. and where tliou diest will I die and there be buried." Soon after I reached this place and assumed my duties as corresponding secretary to the development league, some one remarked that Morris was a good mixer, but the time came when Morris did not care to mix any further, with the result that he promptly handed in his resignation. Yrs, this is a great country, pictu­ resque and beautiful, with many op­ portunities, but some of the great­ est opportunities are for the other fellow. * * * It’s a good coun­ try, all right, but every man accord­ ing to his notion.
