WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY I, 1911. ..y \- . -NUMBER 30 A MOCKSVILLE LADY WRITES. Gives Many Reasons Why The Boys And Girb Should be Allowed to Skate.—Read and Think. Skating! The origin of this word is not definitely known. It is one thot has puzzled philosophers, peda gogues, preachers and people. • The definition of the word that is most popular today is presumed to come from the old Greek word skat, pro nounced like cat, translattd to mean “clear out.” But why clear out? Is it harmful? It causes inefficiency in study. Surely that cannot be, for then baseball, which is not only per mitted but encouraged, would be ruled out, and so with all other pas times. Thereis a time for work and a time for play. When a child has been in school working during the school hours, he needs some re creation before he can properly be gin work on his next day’s lessons. Why not skating? It exercises the body and the brain. To skate well a person must have a clear brain and steady nerve: it is an accomplish ment. Itisa dangerous pleasure? Cer tainly It is, but then every time a person gets on a train, into an au tomobile, into a buggy or on a horse he is endangering his life. Howev er, this fact does not prevent the use and enjoyment of these things. Everything that is enjoyable is not good? Very true, but an enjoyment directed into right channels is good, A good mother in this town said, “The skating rink is a God-send to me, for now I always' know where my sons are.” Some one has said, “Mocksville is becoming depraved, the next thing we know there will be card parties and dances here.” Oh, no. The people in this town would not toler ate for an instant things that can be turned to no good account. Skat ing is an innocent pleasure and there in lies the difference. It is all right for the boys t.o skate. Dearly beloved, that is the thing wrong with the earth today. Isn’t a boy as good and valuable as a girl? A sinisa sin, and right is right, whether committed by boy or girl. Don’t say a thing is rig ht for your boy but is not to be considered for your girl. If skating; is not wrong mentally, physically or mor ally, it is an innocent pleasure. If it is all right for your boy,'it is all right for your girl. " Then here’s to a new .meaning of the word! Here’s to the skating rink! Harmless Amdsi sment. We Have j Em Her<». We have great sympathy for people who are of such ■: sensitive natures that you cannot pass in for ty miles of them witho ut wounding their feelings. Recen tly we heard of a lady who had great difficulty in getting suited in a cl.oak which she ordered through -a mail-order house. With permi ssion of this lady, who assuved Ufj that she would take no ofifeDie, we, wrote a short editorial P'aragraf ,h telliog how she “got it iii the ne ck.” And to our utter surprise a ' half dozen ladies got “,hopping”1- mad with “ye ed itor-” for singking them out and ex- JiOsinr, their affairs to the public.

The man convieted of peonage, whom the President would not let off with a fine but insists should serve a term in prison, had been successful in making money, had a respectable standing in the busi ness community and knew per fectly what he was doing, but be lieved he could escape punishment for peonage or, if punished, could hope co be fined instead of impris oned. The bankers who use the depos its in their own business enterpris es know perfectly well that they are violating the law in the ex tent of the loans they make virtu ally to themselves, or in the secur ity they accept from themselves which is of a sort they would not take from anyone else. Afhen ar raigned they plead that they weie just carrying on a legitimate busi ness, and if their enterprises had been successful they would have restored the funds ot the bank. That is precisely like the excuse of the bank clerk who helps himself from the till and explains after tossing it that he tnought he could win in a speculation in wheat and if he had succeeded he would have restored the money he took. There are a good many bankers now in prison for conduct they would have sent any subordinate to the penitentiary for. A good many men in other lines of busi ness are breaking the laws con stantly if they think they can es cape punishment. Host of the pro moters of trusts and combines know that they are violating the law, but they hope to escape punish ment. The habit of breaking the law is far too common in respecta ble circles. Tbe Roads To Improve First.' “A road between two important, towns, which are, perhaps, already connected by a railway or by a trolley line, may seem to owners of automobiles to be of more import ance than the more utilitarian roads leading back into the country awav from the railroad. At the risk ot seeming to be officially actuated by selfish motives, however, I will suggest that an interurban road of this character is not the one that, generally speaking, Bhould receive first attention.” There is just a- bout a peek of good hard sense in this statement of President W. W. Finley’s. We have, insisted time and again, and we wish to repeat, that it is folly to begin road-build ing with these interstate and “from city to city” highways. The road that you are interested in is the one you must travel to get to your mar ket town to the school house, the conrt-honse, the church. Andthese are the roads that need first atten tion. Begin at the towns and rail way stations and improve the roads that run from them out into .the neighboring country. When these are made passable, there will be time enough to begin talking of the big “ highways,” that are more or namental but of less practical. val ue.—Raleigh (N. C.) Progressive Farmer. Change in Registered Mail Unpop ular. Salisbury Post. An order of Postmaster General Hitchcock, which went into effect on January I, 1911, has torn the postal department to pieces and the postmasters and postal clerks are filled with consternation, The order makes a complete revolution in the handling of registered mail the registered cover having been discarded, and letters are sent a- Iong in the mail unprotected. A record is kept of the letters the same as heretofore, but in handling them the envelopes often become torn and the enclosures could easily be extracted. There is really no way to trace the loss to any letter should the contents be stolen. Reg istered packages are sent along pretty much the same as the ordi nary mail, no record even aB to the number of the package being kept. The postal clerks books show so many packages sent by the mail and nothing else. A worthless package could be substituted for a valuable one and it would be im possible to trace it to the guilty party. The present method of han dling the registered mail is entirely unsafe and is little or no belter than sending money and valuables along in the ordinary mail. In fact as it appears, the sender is prac tically wasting the amount of extra postaige. This condition in affairs in the matter of registered mail is not.gen erally known by the public and the Post came upon it incidentally. ItiSBtated that every man in the postal service would like to get out of the business, and many if they had some other employment, would do so at once.

Last Wednesday night Deputy Sheriff J. E, Shugart,' with some men deputised by him, captured a still near Shacktown, 5 miles East of YadkinviUe.- One man Sandy. Hutchens, was arrested, later turn ed aloose as he had only went to get a drink of beer. One man, thought to be the owner, got away. The copper still was of about IOO gallon capacity, 400 gallons of beer was destroyed, and 6 gallons of whiskey was brought to town. - The second still was captured Thursday P. M. just a.little ways from where the first was found this outfit was of small: capacity, two two caps being used for the still and cap. One man was caught at this place -Tom Willard and he was filling up r.he still when. found. He was brought before IJ. 8. Commissioner J. H. James, where he submitted and was bound over to Federal court. This is the first time W ill- ard was ever caught at anythiug like this and consequently his bond was fixed at $100. This still was taken by Deputy Sheriff J. E. Shu gart alone, which is something out. of ordinary for One.man to do- but Mr. Shugart is well known for dar ing attempts. This is said to be the first outfit ever captured by single officer In Yadkin, Co. B ntFridayw asw henthe “ big- dog” was brought in. It was found by Mr. Shugartand Sheriff Fletch er, down on Harmon Creek, near the home of Mr. Sid Shore, no one was found at this place but eveiy- thing was in full blast and they evidently had not been gone, very long'. I-The fitill; was this, largest brought here-in a long time, ' it’s capacity was about 130 gallons. A- bout.2000 gallons of beer was des troyed by the officers, the still and a keg df low wines were locked up in-ih“ jail. There is-said to be an immense amount of blocking going on down in this corner which the officers are determined to stop. Railways Favor Movement. Special to The Davie Record. ; Johnson City, Tenn , Jan. 25.—The following official-statement was giv en out at the offices of the Carolina, Clinchfield and Chio railway today: ‘Advices have been received from Mr. Mark W. Potter, Chmrman of Board of Directors, New York, that the Clinchfield will gladly take its share of expense in extending the ‘Back’Home Movement’ to include all the states east of the Mississippi and south of the Ohio and Potomac rivers; also it will participate in the proposed $250,000 campaign .of : ad vertising the resources of those states in publications of national cir culation and otherwise, especially with a view of attracting farmers.” Itwasalso stated by the Vice- President and Traffic Manager, Mr. J. J. Campion, of the Clinchfield, that although no direct advantage could possibly come to his road from the * Back Home Movement,” ex cept in the states of Virginia, Ten nessee, North and South Carolina, vet the increase of population in any states of the South would increase the volume of business in all states of the South, and, therefore, it is highly important that all railroads in those states work toward that end. He further stated that what appeared to him as being most need ful is to convince the people of the United Statesthatthe South as a whole is-offering advantages to those who want homes, rather than to proclaim that some one railroad" Wanfs.people on its- lines. This, he said, should be the first step, and that it is one which should he taken bv the- railroads co-operating to gether and with the people5 of the South, through their commercial or ganizations and newspapers, * Wilkesbarre Girl And Hobble Skirt Wilkes-Barre, Pa., Jan. IS.— After two humilatipg experiences with hobble skirts,.-,.Miss. Armie Berkley, of this city, today declar ed in Alderman John F. Donohue’s office, Where she had to go to secure redress', that she would never wear one again,, A few weeks ogo she bought a pretty pattern made hobble skirt, manufactured iD New York, and guaranteed to be of the most_ sty lish cut, from George Casco, a mer chant tailor of this city, and for a few short hours she reveled in the attention it attracted and did her best to navigate in it. Then she decided to take a street car home, and in -her anxiety to get into the car she. forgot about the restriction of hobble skirts. Bip went the skirt as she tried to make the high step of the car, and hobble was suddenly transformed into a sheath gown, much' to her embarrassment.. The next day she demanded that Casco replace it, and after much argument,Jn which he contended that hobble skirts were-.not meant for climbing into street cars, he agreed to get her another. The fii-St afternoon she wore this, however, she was caught in a vio lent shower and got wet through and she confessed with a- blush to the alderman that ‘after the rain the skirt had Shrunk so .that it was more like a kilt than a hpbble. Then she' had Casco arrested. He offered to get her another hob ble skirt, but she declared she would not wear one again, and he settled the case by paying her $25, the cost of the first skirt.

It would mean much for the public schools and Representative Marshall wili do his best to have it en acted into a State-wide law, as it should be, for really it is not a political question. —Union Republican. A Salisbury item says that a move ment has been started iooking to the building of a trolly line from Salisbury to Cooleemee, Mocksville and perhaps Yad- kinville and other points north of Rowan county. Thb proposed line would traverse a rich section of conntry and link togeth er a number of thriving towns. It is be lieved that such a line would prove profi table from the start and a number of sub stantial business men are pushing the proposition. The Record would be glad to see an electric line built from Salisbury through Mocksville. It would put Rowan and Davie In closer touch with each other and tfould mean much to both counties. We say let her come. We.have more respect for the four-foot ed hogs who have to root for their living than for the two-legged swine who will take a paper three or four years and then when asked to settle, will mark it “re fused,” and have it returned to the office.

Gf course, if a man notifies the editor to stop his pa per when the time expires and the editor keeps sending it on after being notified, then it is not the fault of the subscriber. But there are a certain class of people who think it their duty to rob the editor. They take a special delight in doing so. Such people .may man'age to live and get along all right in this world, but they "'ill get their just deserts in the world to come.'

Prohibition has practically wiped put the sale of spirituaus and malt liquors in this State. The Legisla ture is being urged to pass a gener al law restricting the sale of near beer. \f ould it not be well for the General Assembly to include wine, an unrestricted industry and thus make a clean sweep? Trieu soda fountain drinks should next receive attention. They d<f”~no phy sical good and some are said to be impregnated with dope. Cigar ettes are also receiving a “ black eye” and tobacco iu other forms may come in next for attention, as a luxury, pure and simple. It is an age of extremes and when the limit is reached trie pendulum swings hack and then comes the reaction. Thisishistoryand ri s tory repeats itself.—Uuiou Repub lican. TO OUR FRIENDS.

Several evenings ago, . says Tit BitB a young man repaired to a tel ephone office and rang up his sweet heart at her residence. “Is that you?’’ “Yes, George, dear,” came the reply. “ Are you alone?” “Yes, darling?” ‘•I wish I was there.’’ “ I wish so, too.” '“ If I were there do you know what I would do with you my dar ling?” ‘•Nd.

Chicago, Jan. 15.—Millions of pounds of butter, eggs, cheese and poultry held iu cold storage ware houses here will be thrown on the market belore May J and a general: tumbling of food prices is expected at once, according to commission merchants. ' ' i Numerous Chicago commission men are said to be facing failure as, . a result of their efforts to maintain, an artificial price on the necessiti es of life. The inability further to uphold the price i s said to be due to a combination of circumstances chief of which are the open winter of 1911 aud tb e banner crops of 1910. Thre?; coiTimission men failed in Die last wdek as a result, it is said, of holding great quantities of bat ter, which they purchased at- an average price of 31 cents a pound and now are -unable to market for more than 27 or 28 cents a pound. TOHACH Each of the chief or gans of the body is a I link-in the Chain of I Life, A chain is no s tr o n g e r than its weakest link, the body -no stronger than^ its weakest organ. If there is weakness of stomach, liver or lungs, there is a weak link in the chain oi life which may snap at any time. Often this so-called “ weakness ” is caused by lack of nutrition, the result of weakness or disease of the stomach and other organs of digestion and nutrition. Diseases and weaknesses of the stomach and its allied organs are cured by the use of Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery. When the weak or diseased stomach is cured, diseases of other organs which seem remote from the stomach but which have their origin in a diseased condition of the stomach and other Organj of digestion and nutrition, are cured also.

WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 8. 1911.NUMBER S , Parable of the Tobacco Seed. Then shall the kingdom of Satan likened unto a graiu of tobacco seed, which, though exceedingly small, being cast into the gronnd, grew atd became a great plant, and spread its leaves rank and broad, so that vile worms formed a habitation thereon. And it came to pass in the course, of time that the sons of men looked upon it and thought it beautiful. To make them look big and manly, the lads put forth their hands and did chew thereof; and some it' made sick, and others to vomit most filthily. And it further came to pass that they who chewed it be came weak and unmanly, and said: liW eare enslaved and can’t cease chewing it.” And the months of all, who were enslaved became foul and they were seized with a violent spitting, and'did spit even in the ladies’ parlors and in the house of the Lord of hosts, and| the saints of the Most High were greatly plagu ed thereby. And in the course of time it came also to pass that others snuffed it, and they were taken suddenly with fits, and they did sneeze with great and mighty sneezes, insomuch that their eyes filled with terrs, and they did look exceedingly silly. And yet others cunningly wrought t h e leaves thereof into rolls, and did set fire to the end thereof, and did look very grave and calf-like, suck ing it, and the smoke of their tor ment ascended up*forever and ev er. Andithe cultivation thereof be came a great and mighty business in the earth, and the merchantmen waxed rich by the commerce there of. And it came to pass that the saints of the Most High defiled themselves. And even the poor who could not buy shoes, nor bread nor books for their little ones, spent their money for it, and the Lord was greatly displeased therewith and said, “ Wherefore this waste: and why do these little ones lack bread and shoes and books! Turn your attention to change this wick ed evil which has grown up in your midst in a gospel land. Tnrn now your fields into corn and wheat and defile not yourselves any more and God will bless you and cause the smile of his countenance to ahine on you.” But with one accord they all exclaimed, “ We cannot cease from (.'hewing and snuffing and puffing. W eareslaves to the evil plague.”—The Fool Killer. MocksriIle Post - office Robber Brougbt Back. Greensboro News, 26th. Deputy Marshal E. E.

Colman, a white man, want ed in the western North Carolina district lor postoffice breaking. The prisoner was turned over to the Federal authorities here and is be ing held in jail awaiting the next criminal term of United States court. Coleman was arrested on Sunday January, 15, the case a- gainst him being worked by the city detective. He was wanted es pecially for breaking into the Ker- nersville postoffice, this State, on October 8,1909. He is the man waDtedalso for entering the Mocks- ville and Walnut Cove postoffices.

An Important Measure. Charity & Children. Hon. H. G- Ewart has introduc ed a bill in the House making bribery at elections a felony and disfranchising those guilty of this crime. This is drastic, but neces sary. The traffic in votes is not confined to any one county or sec tion. Itisw orsein some places than others, but it is found in gre ater or less degree in almost every section. Resolutions have been passed and articles written and speeches made against this practice but still it goes on. The only way to stop it is to make the penalty so severe that a man, unrestrained by the moral law, will not care to take the risk of losing his citizenship. We had fondly hoped that the sen timent against a debauched ballot was growing in Korth Carolina, but the last election convinces us that sterner measures must be taken ta uproot this cancerous growth on our body politic. Gov. Harmon takes the position that the vote buyer is guiltier than the vote-sell- er, and he suggests that the courts recognize this difference in dealing with this crime. We do not know about the degree of guilt in the shameful transaction, but both are bad enough, and neither is worthy ofthe sacredprivilege of citizen ship, We hope the Ewart bill will be promptly passed and put on our statue books. Itisa p ity th a titis necessary, but it is, and the surge on’s knife would better be applied before the poison spreads through the whole body. A Friend Worth While. Newton Enterprise, A man by the name of Brown, said to be from the Denver section, was in Newton Wednesdoy morn ing with a four gallon keg of corn whiskey in a buggy. After making proclamation, he produced a syph on and invited everybody to drink. He was in the lotin rear ofSmyre’s hardware store and soon had a good crowd around him. Later he moved to the other side of town. He must have taken about every body with him, for wLen the En terprise reporter went out to get this item the streets were deserted. The man had no fear of the police. He said it was his liquor and he could give it away to whomsoever he pleased. $5 Tax on Bachelors. Miss Charlotte Smith, president of the Women’s Homestead Asso ciation, has asked the Legislature to put a tax of $500 on every un married male 35 years or more of age. The only men exempt would be those of bad moral character or otherwise unfit. A bill embodying Miss Smith’s ideas has been introduced. It pro vides that all money raised through the tax shall be expended for the support of deserving spinisters who are “ believed” to have passed the marriageable age. Bepresentative Alfred Tewks bury, Winthrop, has put in a bill that prohibits the wearing of tights on the stage and very short skirts on the bathing beaches. James Bobinson of Dorchester framed the bill and petitioned Mr. Tewksbury to present it. It compels every woman to wear in public a skirt extending at least six inches below the kneccap. The fine for viola tion is $20. The bill also provides that low- necked gowns must have shoulder straps.—Boston Special to New York Sun. Alfalfa Growing. Washington, Feb. I.—The op portunities for profit which the raising of alfalfa offers the farmers of the Southeast is indicated by letters received by the Land and Industrial Department o f t h e Southern Railway showing increas ed interest in the production of al- falf and highly profitable results in widely separated districts. Fort and Stone of Dunleitb, Washington County. Mississippi, owners of a plantation in the Del ta, reported that on 28 acres seed ed in the fall of 1909 168.8 tons were produced at a cost ot $593.05- They figured this hay to be worth $15.00 per ton in the barn though hay was selling from $20.00 to $23. per ton. At this low rating they received a profit of $1,940,00 on the 28 acres, the hay costing them only $3.47 per ton. Reports from the Delta show that about 50 farm ers are now growing alfalfa with success, all having seeded their fields in the last three or four years. J. W. Fisher of Newport in the East Tennessee write that he is greatly pleased with results having averaged five tons per acre aud fin ding a ready sale at $22.00 per ton but he has found the hay so good that he prefers feeding it to his own stock to selling it. He has grown alfalfa on the upland red calcareious clay, general through out East Tennessee. Success in growing alfalfa is also reported by growers in Southern Virginia, N. Carolina and Alabama and the acreage devoted, to alfalfa in all the Southeastern states is growing rap idly. Coming Home. Merchants Journal. A man who left the south about forty years ago and who has been successsul in his vocation was heard to remark: liT don’t regret having left the south, the opportunity may have been here for me, but I couldn’t see it at that time, but now the south is developing so ra pidly that I crvn see more opportu nities here than in any other sec tion of the country. My boys are back at my old home and they are making money under more favor able conditions than I ever experi enced.” Thousands of young southern men left home because there was no money here forty years ago. A virgin soil, great forests, splendid climate, in fact, every natural re source abounded but it could not be developed then. As these men are reaohing old age they are send ing their young men back home, where time and conditions have wrought such wonderful changes that enterprise and capital pay the largest dividends. We welcome them back to the home of their fathers and brothers. We have longed for our own stock, bload of our blood and bone of our bone. We need them. This land of promise, the home of civil gov ernment, needs to be restored to its former prestige in wealth and pow er. The gas man promises reduced rates next July. Encouraging news, eh!

Those which grow do not invite outside capital and wait for it to come in and do their city building for them. They go to work themselves and their ach ievements attract capital that can not be entertained with a mere in vitation. We would like to break this off to the hilt in people who do not knojr why capital does not rush to their town to do for them what they ought to start to do~them selves.—Wilmington Star.

According 'to reports, the gold mine which it just now being rapid ly developed seven miles' south of Yadkinville, Yadkin county, is get ting to be of considerable consequen ce. Messrs. W: G. McKay and Har ry B. Fleharty af Omaha, Nebraska, accompanied by Mr. John Elmier, who is superintending the develop ment work, were in the city yester day. Mr. McKay is a member of the Gross-Dixon Gold Mining Company’ which now owns the new mine, and, togather with his attorney, Mr. Fle- harty, has been spending several days looking over the property owned by the company. The company owns 66 acres of land, and, on the-proper- ty, they have erected a ten-stamp mill, tube mill, complete cyanide plant, with 100 tons capacity, bunk house, assay office, etc. This mine has been under develop ment for four years, and, according to Mr. McKay, the ore which is being taken O’jt is bringing from $40 to )0 per ton. Tiie comp?ny hss Spent a vast amount of money in. develop ing the mine. One shaft has been sunk 100 feet deep, drifting 400 feet to the east and 800 feet to the west. Also two other shafts have been sunk, one being 80 feet deep and contain ing a nine-foot vein of ore and the other being 35 feet deep, with an in cline north. The company expects to push the development of the mine, and the enterprise will mean much for the prosperity and progress of all this section. TODAY DOGS. Law’s Lash. Let dogs delight to bark and bite, For God hath made them so; A dog’s a mongrel, whelp or hound, Where’er they chance to go. Paul warned us well in olden times And evtn to this day It’s wise to watch the biped breed That crouch upon our way. They sit in church without restraint, And whine with watery eyes, Or tear the flesh from friendly hands By dressing in disguise. They bite in church Jand state and school, For biting is their only rule; They bite the matron and her maid. By nature it’s their doggish trade. The human species curse our midst, And, like the poor, will stay, Fo.r young pups grow to doghood, While the old curs pass away. We find them holding office, A few are in the stand; And scattered likethe rent-off tribes, Abroad throughout the land. And when their race is over, Whether late or soon. They’ll find their names all written In the final Book of Doom. —Darius’ Dog Kicker. For Safety’s Sake. A man should either be able to keep his temper or be able to whip the man he is quarreling with.— Atchison Globe. Dr. Cook. I’m rather tired of Dr. Cook. I don’t intend to read his book, or any dope that he may spring con cerning all his voyaging. I’d ra ther read some simple tale about a man who drives a nail, or saws a board fixes flues, and buys his kids a round of shoes. Between oursel ves, it is a shame, how cheap men ply theit dizzy game, and pile up bundles of long green by grabbling in some magazine. I stand up strong for Bichard Boe who earns a mod est slice of dough by shoeing mnles or mowing grass, or fussing round with window-glass. All through .the week he toils and sweats: on Saturdays he pays his debts. He spends his honest, useful life in obscurity, with his kids and wife. One quiet man like Richard Roe. who fixes clocks or shovels snows, or tires his fingers binding books, is worth a whole parade of Cooks. It makes no odds to any soul how near the doc was tcT'ine ^oJe; it makes no odds to any man queer delusions filled his cav; it makes no odds what Eskimos for gumdrops gave their shoes and clothes. The only thing that counts on earth, the only thing of sterling worth, is workf by this I do not mean the working of some maga zine.—Walt Mason,, in Charlotte News.

When will we get a.set of lawmakers who have nerve enough to, put a tax on the worthless dog? That pesky ground hog came out Thurs day morning. We don't know what time he showed up, but the sun shone but lit tle that morning, and we know not wheth er he stayed out or returned to his hole. At the present price of wood, it is to be hoped that he remained on the outside. Say young man, as you st»nd on the corner making impolite and improper re marks about girls or women as they pass by, do you realize that some other foul- mouth puppy may be standing on the comer making similar remarks about your sister? Kever thought of it, did you? Treat every woman as a lady until you know she doesn’t deserve it; then keep your mouth shut.—Searcy News. We spent an hour or two^ih- "^Advance “'-last Wednesday. It is a^pleasure for us. to vfeit-ihat lively little village. Wehave many friendsover there, and never r.iiss an opportunity of visiting them. Ad vance has about ten stores, a flour mill, a lumber, plant, a cotton gin, a coffin manu facturer, a grain cradle shop, two black smith shops, two churches, two grave yards, a good school, and a crowd pf the cleverest and ugliest men to be found in Davie cour.ty, IMah Orrell and Alex Kim brough being the two handsomest men in the town, while the ladies are the pret tiest end smartest women to be found anywhere. The women, what would the world do without them. Most of the citi zens of Advance take The Record, and better still, they pay for it. There an a few unenlightened souls in those classic shades whom we have not yet captured but are hot on their trail, and expect to comer them at an early aate. There art a few things that Advance needs badly— an automobile factory, an opera house, a skating rink and a system of water works. We mean to visit that hustling burg again ere many moons, and hope to secure ail those who are not already taking this rag of freedom. Mr. E. H. Morris has an interesting ar ticle in this issue o.i the skating rink. We a|ree with him almost on every point he maker. The farmer boys thirty and forty years ago had but few places of amuse- . ment to go to. and spent m^st of theii leisure time hunting and courting the fair country lasses. Husking bees, or com shuckings, quiltings and log-rollings were the chief amusements. Oftentimes at the shuckings and rollings, a large barrel of corn juice from the little mountain still, with tin cups in plenty, was to be found, and the drinking was indulged in by all present, with seldom if ever, a case Oi drunkenness. But such things have had their day, and the places that once knew them, know them no mor3 forever. In this day and time, with a barrel of booze on hani, nea.ly everybody would ge drunk as lords, while the sound of the pis tol would make the night hideous. Tht f inner hoys used to go hunting and re turn loaded down with game. Often wher, they return now they are loaded dowi with one of their companions who is st filled with shot that he cannot navigate. Hunting was once innocent amusement, but it is so no longer. It is far more dan gerous than skating. We beljeve’ in m at ing the boys and girl; work, end we be lieve also in letting them play. There is a time for everything. When the child reu have work to do and are needed at home, keep them there; when they have an h .ur or two of leisure in the afternoon or evening, let them go to the skating rink and skate or watch those who a e skating. We see no harm ir. it. Many Killed Asd Wounded. New York, Feb. I.—The total number of dead froin the explosion on a dynamite boat in the harbor at Jersey City at door, today fs still unknown, but it is believed the num ber will not fail far short of 25, with 1,000 wounded. The Skating Rink. E ditor Recoed:—With jour j permission T will say a few words with reference to ainuserueuts for the young people; I ani not op posed to innocent amusement, and I am aware that harm can come in with all amusements if not regula ted and guarded against. . Several have had their say about the much discussed skating rink. Now per sonally I i-annot see much liarm in the skating rink, provided it is properly regulated and looked af ter. Some one hus said that “all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy,'-’ and I am goiug to say that all play and no work makes Jack a worthless boy, and a mou nuisance to the entire com munity. I notice, Mr. Editor, that you said the children, after study ing or working Bhould have some thing of the skating rink kind for exercise and diversion. These may not be your exact words, but they convey your idea, I think. Do the school children speud more than 5 I 2 or 6 hours in the rchooi room each day? Are they not giv en a recess and time at noon lor play and exercise? If the parents are looking after them at ' home, are they uot giving them some wholesome exercise at home? Mr. Editor, if I am not mistaken you were at least partially raised ij the country. The writer was rais ed there, and spent some of the happiest days of his life on the farm, and these skating rinks aud such like, were only read about by the eomjtry-boys and gir!s.- Ciiap ping wood, feeding hogs, cows and sheep, helping in the garden or in the house, an occasional bird, rab bit or squirrel hunt made up the bulk of onr amusements. These were innoceut amusements, and developers of brains, bones, lungs and muscles, which make the conn try boy and girl strong and heal thy. Now, I would make this suggestion as to the proper regula tion yj( the skatiug link. Havea certain day, or say two evenings Aeek for the skating rink to be open. If you keep it open every ^veiling you will find some boys there every time, and you will ad mit yourself that it is not best for the boys and girls Io be away from home every evening, leaving the work at home for their hard-work ed parents. I believe you also said something about the boys would be loafing on the streets, at the stores, offices and depot if there wsis no place of amusement for diem. Now, Mr. Editor, I have a fine place to amuse my boy, and I am of the opinion that ItrS not the boy’s fault if he spends his time IoafiDg up town. If bis parents are doing their dutp he is not go ing to be a street loaler. Some out iias said that “au idle brain is the devil’s work shop.” Thebrain is not idle wheu one is employed. Let’s provide every pleasure aud amusement possible for onr child-’ ren, but let’s uot fonjefc to teach them those things that will make them useful and develop them into men aud women who will be the pride of their pareuts. honored aud respected members of society, and che futur j saviors and rulers of our country, E.

Statesville, Feb. 2.—Last Sunday ivening a party of Iredell officers went after Cleve Mcliride, a noted olockader, who wat reported to be in hiding in Eagle Mills township, in the northern part of this county. It seems that they came upon him in the edge of Yadkin county and that he ran and was fired on by the offi- :ers and severely wounded, receiv- ng a pistol shot wound in his back and also a load from a shotgun in the hands of some of the men. Mc Bride was captured and taken to a aeighbor’s house and medical aid summoned The officers i p. the mear - time surrendered themselves to the sheriff of Yadkin county and we're taken to the jail in that county Mon day. Sheriff Deaton of this county .vas notified of the surrender of the men to fhe Yadkin authorities and a writ of habeas i or jus. was asked for and obtained from .TudgeLyon Mon- lay and was served oifthe sheriff of faukin yesterday and the men were Drought here and the hearing htd before Judge B. Fr Long last night. The defendants were released on jond to appear at the March term of Yadkin superior court, when th*y will be tried for the offence. McBride is reported to be in a se rious condition, but it is not.thought that he will die from the effects of his wounds, but even if he shou d die, it was admitted by the' counsel for the prosecution last night : that the offense would still be bailable A heap of trouble wouldn’t be if we didn’t put ?o much imaginii tion into it.

Boone, which occurred in chis city Sunday afternoon at the home of his daugh ter, Mrs. J. 0. King, the town and community loses one of her best and most beloved citizens, the church a foithful and consecrated worker who spent his life in the Master’s work. The funeral took place from the Methodist church Monday afternoon at 2:30 o’clock, after which the body was laid gently to rest in Rose cem etery to await the resurrection. Mr. Boone had not been in good health for mtay years, having been forced to retire from regular ministerial work several years- ago. One son and two daughters survive, besides a number of relatives and a host- of friends. For lack of space we can not give an extended notice of this good man’s work on earth, but what greater thing can be said of him than that he is now with his Father, whom he loved, served and labored for so faithfully while among us.

Yours Respectfully, BAILEY & MARTIN t * f At Ant-wh ij There is a%ia WAITING! , in Tennessee, han whotn you may see In passing there, who stands close by The train, and who, with eager eye. Stares at the exits of each car. Intent on seeing whom they are. Who stop: whose face displays dismay And frowns, when rolls the train away. You ask. Wbo is he? I will tell, Achild, to whom there once befell The loss than which there is none worse, Kesulting in a double curse; Who saw his mother board the train And never saw her come again, Whose reason was the price he paid To her return, with him, delayed. Unconscious of his honeiess fate He is stiil faithful to await His mother’s coming home again. And runs to meet each passing train. Through nights and days and rain and snow The man, now old and haggard, goes With faltering steps and feeble feet. His mother to caress and greet. The trains have so increased of late That he can nothing do but wait Throughout the hours of night and day For all the trains that pass that way. And now he hardly eats or sleeps So constantly his watch he keeps. With eyes wild with delirium, To see if mother wiil not come. But as the trains move down the track And bring not his dear mother back, He turns away in tears and pain To wait, in hope, for the next train. But while the son expects in vain His mother on each passing train. The parent waits at Jesus' feet Her lonely child at last to greet. What longings that can never die Deep down in human bosoms lie? What nameless feelings buried there That alternate hope and despair? What prospects that can never bel What lookings we shall never seel Until our death, which we abhor, Bears us to what we waited for. —J. D. Moore, in Lenoir Topic. An Editor’s Invoice.

This has been put nt> to The Greensboro Record: “Since you seem to enjoy answering knotty problems, I will hand yon one that has puzzled me for years, viz: Do witches ride horses? I mean, of course, if there are any witches. When a boy on the farm, I was told that witches rode horses—that the knots found in horses’ mane and tail in the morning were tied by witches. There will be no use saying there were no knots, for I have put horses up at night with their manes smoothly combed out, and have gone back the next morn ing to find knots tied in the maoe- of my horse that it seemed impos sible to untie. I always had to cut them out. For years I have persuaded myself to believe that there were no such thiDgs as witch-, es. I am prettj well convinced that I am right. But if there were no witches, what I want to--know is, how came those- knots in the mane of the horse? Afteryon have answered the question, will you kindly pass it along to some of cur editorial friends for further lucida- tion? Of course. The Record pass es this ou to Tbe Chrouicle and the Statesville Landmark.” Judge Clark may not have time to waste on such a fool thing, so we will answer briefly for both.

It is not all the things that hap pened in the days of our childhood that are stored away in this won derful chest of memories; yet hun dreds and thousands of the serious and sad, the mirthful and glad, the joys and happiness, are still bright in these almost incompre hensible cellB, which seem to be arranged in partitions and letter files, each annotated, so that one thought leads to another, like the references in the Bible, until they, who have read much and have had the opportunity of travel, and Btudying tue great moral, intellec tual and physiccal progress of the world, have stored with rich ma terial these great warehouses of thought, Ithasoften been a wonder to your Uncle Toby how things that occurred during our childhood couicf so' long be shut up -WtiMtr our memory never occurring to our minds during all the fitful battles of our lives, will all at once appear to our memories as bright as thou they happened but yesterday. The only explanation tbat your Uncle Toby can give for this is the brain is divided into compartments containing millions of these cells, paat of which form our sub-con scious self. Many people of middle age and older have; without exercising any thought to that effect, had some bright memory of their childhood return to them, and been delighted by the sweet memories clustered around that one, which came to them after having been buried in this sub-conscious part of the brain possibly for forty years. The old er one grows, the more they won der why such treasures of old will link themselves with things that occurred yesterday or today. As we pass along the country road we see an old woman engaged in peeling apples; it reminds us of our mother, and at once our whole mind and soul is absorbed. With rapid flight our memory carries us back to our old homestead, where we spent many happy days of childhood; we can hear the child ren play as of old, we can see the olp well curb, the bucket hanging there, full of freshly drawn, cool and sparkling water, such water as we have never tasted since. We ’ can see our old grandmother busy giving directions and.aiding in the preparation of dinner, for it is a great day, a reunion of the family. The men are sitting-on a bench un der a great apple tree, and scenes like these open the doors to the great storehauses, where sweet and cherished memories are stored, to be often called up to cheer old age and mark the wonderful progre a of the world since we were children. There are few persons who have lived to be thirty-five or forty years old, who have not realized that some indescribable volition of the mind has carried th e thought of today brak through the years of 'tim e and awakened other thoughts that had apparently- disappeared forever from; our .memories. To those Whpse lives have been pure and just,. Who are; strong friends and possess strong friends, who fortify their lives and their memo- - Hes with the things that are pass ing under their observation from day to day, it is a beautiful thought tp know that nature has provided a means by which every thought becomes a component part and the foundation upon which .they shall build a fortress, both offensive and defensive, from which they shall fight the battle of life. This sub conscious self of man kind has fought and won the great est battles of the world; it is that which constitutes the difference be tween the man of success and the man who has failed; the men and women who have gone through the world with no other object in view than to be butterflies of fash ion and doodle bugs of society, are too superficial to make a brilliant success in any calling in life. They may be showy in jewels, perfect in manners and brilliant in conversa tion, but unless they possess a strong self-consciousness, they are not imbued with the strength to combat and compete with those w h o have strongly entrenched themselves with a well-filled store house of thoughts of real life, as delved in the depths of nature, soared through the plaiietary sys tem; and, greeter yet, have stud ied the lives of their fellow-meB, analyzed their words and acts, and given them to the world in art and science, in tragedy, drama and comedy, in war and in peace. Napoleon possessed this quality of subconsciousness, he absorbed it on the streets of PariB, when the starving women and children, by beating tin pans and crying for -bread, roused a sympathy and made a following, which ended in the fall of the Bastile. He breath ed it in the atmosphere when the guards were overcome at Versailles and the royal family were lashed along the road to Paris; so close did he observe the logic of events that he saw, with pathetic eye, the execution of Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette, in a manner so brutal that all Europe stood aghast. He saw the revolution devour itself, and then his great sub conscious spirit told him that now was his opportunity. AU history teaches that this power made Napoleon one of the greatest generals in the world; it was the power which gave Martin Luther and other Protestants their greatest strength in their long-con tinued fight for religious liberty. It has created the greatest epochs in'the world’s history, not always in favor of the best, but generally ending in the' moral, intellectual and spiritual uplift of the world. Lawyers and Newspapers.

Our Home. -Tneeffortsthat are being put forth to keep boys on the farm should be encon raged by every body, both country and city dwell ers. It is a step in the right direc tioa. Many boys have become physical, mental and moral wrecks by choosing city life and becoming poisoned with the vice that these large centers of population afford, when if they had remained on the farm their lives might have been tall of success and happiness. De ferring to ehe neW- industrial re lationships which have been created by city conditions and machine in dustry, Fredrick C. Howe, in Hampton’s Magazine, says: “ Over forty per cent of the people of America live in cities. In some of the Eastern states from sixty to eighty per cent are city dwellers. Thirty five millions of our people have left the assured independence of the farm to become cliff dwell ers and tenants, employers and employees. Al d of bur ninety million population, twenty million are to be found in the great behe moth industrial and commercial centers. In little more than a gen eration this change from farm life to city life has taken place. Our. civilization has become a city civi lization with all of the dangers, poverty and crime which city Iile involves. For poverty and crime are not due primarily to the bad ness of humanity; they are due largely to the new industrial re lationships which have been crea ted by city conditions and machine industry. Thecity is America’s problem of problems. If the city is corrupt, misgoverned and a bree ding place for disease, poverty and vice, the nation will suffer from these evils, The city problem is more important than the tariff or the railway question; it is greater than forest conservation, the army or the navy: greoter in its ultimate significance to the life of America than the immediate work of Con gress, the courts, or the President of the United States.” If your boy wants to go to the city to live, tell him that rural life is no longer as it once was; that the telephone, daily mail, good schools and chufches and scientific methods of producing and market ing crops have turned a different light on the farming industry. Have him to understand that in the rural districts the sunshine is brighter, the atmosphere purer, the food more wholesome and neigh, bors and friends truer than in the cities. Don’t leave him alone un til he is thoroughly convinced that a course in the A. & ' M .. College will fit him for a service on the farm that is just as honorable as any. position held by city folks. Give him some lessons in nature to the effect that every article of Dod that.is used to keep earth’s teem ing millions alive must come from old mother earth, and that a. thor ough knowledge of how to. make the land that has been exalted far above the frivolous inclination to ward soeiety and dress parade. Teach him that honesty, truthful ness, sobriety ahd industry are to be valued far above any position of hanor and fame that the large large cities afford, and that the farm is the best place to cultivate these virtues.

If millionaires could only live a thousand years, they’d learn to give according to the wholesome plan that’s common to the work ing man. I saw a man in flannel shirt, a man begrimed with grease and dirt dig up his little wad of green to help a man he’d never seen. Hegavefivebones—he had but ten—to help his unknown fel- lowmen, and he had worked, day after day, to earn the planks ' he gave away. Itseem sto me this working man looks big beside the million man.

The time is near at hand when men will no longer be able to jeer at women’s costnme, for man has been heading toward the ridicu lous for some time. Now, see what is coming this summer.

Your trousers will fit your legs so snugly it will be necessary for you to remove your shoes in order to change trousers.

With the power of the administra tion back of it, it will probably pass and become a law. Ir con templates an experiment for one year. By that time it should be proven wise or unwise for perma nent service'. If it does not come up to expectations, certainly the government may be relied on to abolish it, and if it does come up to the standard, to make it general and permanent time. Under the circumstances it would seem only reasonableffor those interests and influences seeking to defeat this legislation to rest their case in the fate of a fair experiment. These interests have gone to vast pains and expense to flood the country with literature, denouncing the whole plan of parcels post and seek ing to organize forces for its over throw. Norhave these interests overlooked the expedient of send: ing lobbies to Washington to work on the lawmakers. But evidently to no avail. Parcels, post, we be lieve, is coming to stay, and it is futile to try to stop it. ‘Many a married'man who might make a fortune is handicapped be cause his wife demands too much of his attention.’, That’s right.

Last week Judge Bynnm was atendiug Alamance Superior-Court having an important issue for trial. A jury was selected just before noon recess, the pleadings were read and. adjournment was taken for dinner. When court met in the afternoon' they proceeded to examine witness es. Judge Bynum said after awhile' he happened to glance at the ..jury and saw there were only eleveh men in the box. The seats are arranged close to the bar and he.. was not sure, so he counted again—only eleven men sure. Then he called his honor’s attention to it; the riaipes of the jurors were called, when all answered who were inJihe box the other answer coming from the rear of the court room. The Judge asked this twelfth man why he was not in the box; he said when he came in “ you all .were at work and. I didn’t want to break in.” “He was the most polite juror I ever saw,” says Judge Bynum. He had heard all the evidence so far introduced, however, and by con sent the trial proceeded.—Greens boro Record.

I wish to submit a report of our demonstration work in Davie county for 1910, for the benefit and encour agement of the farmers in our coun ty. By-a careful study of the fig ures given below, you will readily see that it pays to use improved methods and skill in the cultivation of our crops. I have calculated the cost of growing com on 30 demon strations which include 75 acres on the following basis: . Breaking land $2.50 per acre, harrowing $1,. plant ing 75c., cultivating $3, ~harvestirig $8' per I Gt-Jsaahels, land rent $5 per acre, commercial fertilizer at cost, stable manure at $1 per load and stover at $8 per ton, and estimating 21-2 tons per 100 bushels of corr.. The average yield on the 75 acres cultivated under demonstration me thods was 4613 bushels per acre and the average cost was 20|c. per bush el; this makes, an average acre of corn cost about $9.50. Estimating the yield on the same number of acres cultivated by the ordinary, methods, I the average to be 18 13-15 busiirils per. acre at a cost of 50| cents per bushel, or a total cost per acre of aboilt $9.15. The contrast will be more apparent if we will take another view. Let’s take 10 acres of each an d ■ make comparison. At 46J bushels per acre, ten acres will produce 463.3, and if it cost 20J cents per bushel to raise it, the cost will be $94.97. . If this corn could be sold at 75 cents per bushel it would be worth $348.47. Subtract the cost and we have prefit of $253.50. Taking the aver age of 18 13 15. we find, that 10 acres of such com will produce 188.6 bush els and at a cost of 50$ cents per bushel we have $95.24, and at 75c. per bushel it would be worth $140.45. Subtracting the cost, we have a pro fit of $45.21. Which is the more profitable crop? It is yoar privi- ledge to take your choice. We have three demonstrators that cul tivated 5 acres of cotton under our instruction which made an average of 1,585 pounds of seed cotton per acre as against 700 pounds on a com parative number of acres cultivated by the old method.

Recently The News had items a bout buying Danish cabbage from. New York and broom corn from Ok lahoma and Tennessee, and broom handles from Michigan; and The Statesville Landmark remarked a- bout buying these things away from home. The Greensboro Record cop ies all of it and says that the con clusion of the whole matter is that '‘our people are crazy that’s all.” We are. The News showed the oth- .er day how many millions of dollars went out of North Garolinalastyear for flour and meat and butter ar.d mill feed and other things. The News of Greensboro copied that and says that while our people have made commendable, progress in recent years, they are not yet meeting the limits of their possibilities. “We hope to see the day come,” says The News, “when the balance will be on the other side of the ledger, and it can be done. With our very respon sive soils, our splendid climate and long seasons, we should feel really ashamed to let less favored' sections beat us on production and actually sell us the products we can raise easier and more cheaply than they can. We are making progress, but we will not become rich until the farmers of the south, grow more than the south consumes of the ne cessities of iife.” Much of this sort of talk appears in onr newspapers, but it is usually read, agreed with, passed on and foi gotten, and we make slow pro gress still toward that point where we can hot only produce our own supplies, but also sell a surplus to somebody else. The thing to do, Mr. Parmer, -if you will allow us, is to take this to yourself. Make it an individual pro* v position. ei abundantly by all things nature can give, and we are spending pur money for what other people pro duce, for what we can produce our selves. Wherefore, for my part, I am going to raise this year every cent’s worth of stuff that I use, and more than that, I am going to pro duce more to sell than I ever have before.” Ifevery farmer in this fertile county and this state would say that and stick to it, millions would, come into North Carolina next fall—and none go out for food. Damages or Liquor. In some coal The Record bought recently have', been found blauk cartridges. Every day or so one gets in the fire and there is a report that has scared the force iDto duck fits once or twice.

Yet the ghost is a fanoy and the germ is a fact. If the germ could be magnified to a size equal to itsterrors it would appear more terrible than any fire-breathing dragon. Oerms can’t be avoided. They are in the air we breathe, the water we drink.The germ can only prosper when the condition of the system gives it free scope to establish itself and develop. When there is a deficiency of vital force, languor, restlessness, a sallow cheek, a hollow eye, when the appetite is poor and.the sleep is broken, it is time to guard against the germ. You can fortify the body against all germs by the use of Dr. Pierce’s Gold* en Medical Discovery. It increases the vital power, cleanses the system of clogging impurities, enriches, the.blood, puts the_ stom ach and organs of digestion and nutrition in working condition, so that the germ finds no weak or tainted spot in which to breed. “ Golden Medical Discovery” contains no alcohol, whisky or habit-forming drugs. All its ingredients printed on its outside wrapper. It is not a secret nostrum but a medicine o f k n o w n c o m p o sitio n and with a record of 40 years of cures. Accept no substitute—there is nothing “ just as good.” Ask your neighbors. FROST PROOF CABBAGE PLANTS GUARANTEED TO SATISFY CUSTOMERS PROM TBE ORIGINAL CABBAGE PLANT GROWERS. A Successful life.

Referendum and Recall. A man refuses to do what his wife wants him to do, whereupon she passes on it and has it done. That is the initiative. He does some thing but it is null and void till it is referred to her for approval or dis approval. This is the referendum. When he won’t do anything or does everything wrong he is called down and put out of business. That is the recall. It would seem that she has everything her own way, and so do the people under the initiative, the referendum and the recall.
