04-AprilI S S U E S M I S S I N G ‘ HERE SHALL THE PRESS, THE PEOPLE’S RIGHTS MAINTAIN; UNAWED BY INFLUENCE AND UNBRIBED BY GAIN.” VOLUMN XU.MOCKSVILLE. NORTH CAROLINA. WEDNESDAY. APRIL 19. 1911,NUMBER 41 Unde Tobey’s Lecture on Country School Teachers. Home and Farm. The country school teacher is a gentleman or a lady, whichever the case may be. ,Your Uncle Tobey is alway ready to take off his hat to them. He used to take off his coat, but that 'was always by special request. Ic all the me­ mories of the past there are none that are brighter than the recol­ lections of the country Bchool teachers whom your Uncle Tobey used to do business with. The first country sehool teacher I had any transactions with was a woman, but Bhe understood her business. She wore a black silk dress, and her age—well, she was no spring chicking. I got a lickin ’ the first, day, but it was not her fault. I bad contracted the habit at home of getting a lickin’ every day, and when I left home for a whole day I quite often couldn’t wait until I got baok, and someone else would have to apply the “sprout” where it would do the most good. I always objected to being licked at school, because they almost in­ variably used a switch. My moth­ er, who was the custodian of the ways and means of punishment in our home, was more versatile in the administration of it. Bhe varied the instruments of persuas­ ion which she used to keep me in the “straight and narrow way.” On state occasions, and where the provocatien had been of an un­ usually serious character, she used a switch. But even here her gentle nature predominated and she used a small one, or one that was easily broken. At other times she used a piece os shingle, her slipper or her hand. Of these three, I pre­ ferred her hand. It was softer and more quieting to my nerves. Perhaps recognizing my preference, she used this method oftener than \he others. So I was “raised” W tly by hand. Next to the hand, my preference was the shingle. It spread the pain over large area of surface and reduced it to a minimum. Besides the noiBe is so out of proportion' to the hurt that it fills the youngster, stretched across the knees ■ ' K th e principal operator, with Su an exuberance of fun that when it is over he can go ont behind the house, lean up against the chimney and have a hearty laugh. This metnod was used in our common schools in an early day, but was soon abandoned on account of its nadequancy to cover the occasioni This waa in the good old days when people believed in the Scrip­ tural injunction, “Spare the rod and spoil the child.” My mother was a consitent disciple of that faith, It was her diligent and persistent practice of it that helped to make your Uncle Tobey what he is. If her efforts fell short of her expectations, it is due to the raw material with which she had to work rather than through any fault of hers. And those grand old school tea- cheis of that day and time! They contributed largely to her efforts. I’ve gone to many a hard task as­ sisted and animated by the virtues of a beech or hickory rod which had been applied at the proper time and place. And theBe old masters were good judges oi timber. Tour Uncle Toby has seen them use switches that would wrap three times around a boy’s legs without breaking. How they seasoned them that away seems to be one of the lost arts. But somehow or oth­ er those old masters got the ideas into the heads of the youngsters. They made Presidents and Gover­ nors, and Congressmen, and Judges out of their pupils just as the tea­ chers .do now, only they made bet­ ter ones, I think. iBut the old-timers are almost ali^one. Their race is practically extinct, v Your Uncle Toby came nearly being one of them. His administration lapped from old to the new. It strained him a little, but he preserved the virtues of both. The teachers of the new generation may not know it, but . the memory of those old-timers is preserved in verse. Josh BillingB, one of America’s great writers ot prose and postry, pays his tribute to them in the following beautiful Terse: “A man who a deestrick skool haz taught Teu years; krewel fate, alas! Ought tn hev hizshoo 2 pulled oph, And he turned out tu grass.” There is something touching in those lines, but your Uncle Tobey can’t figure out just where it is. A t a matter of fact, if a man teaches a district schoos for ten years, and has a family to support, he won’t have much shoes to pull off. The school teacher isn’t paid half what he is worth. They fill the most important of positions and don’t receive as much as a very ordinary clerk in a store. They are expect­ ed to support a porterhouse steak appearance on a soup-bone salary. They don’t teach school nowa­ days like they used to; they use more machinery. Bat- it is just as hard work. Some boys and girls can’t be governed by machinery, and occasionally the rod has to be used; or to use a modern phrase, the armstrong machine has to be brought into requisition. Although the profession of teaching is one of the highest I know of, it is a pen­ itentiary offense in some States to get rich teaching school. But teachers have the promise, for the Bible says: “ Blessed are the poor, for they shall inherit the kingdom of heaven.” None of them will ever have to pass through the eye of a needle; they don’t get rich enough for that. A few years of school teaching is a good thing for a young man or a young woman. ■ It takes some ot the romance out of them. It gives them an opportunity to gnaw at the rough ends of reality. It fits them for better service in other spheres of life. As a rule, school teachers don’t- expect to make that calling their life’s profession. They use it for a stepping-stone to something else. It is a rough step­ ping-stone; yet some of them slip on it. It takes a Jim Dandy to please both the children and their parents and at the same do your duty. Teachers are migratory in their nature; they want to migrate from one place to another. Bnt teach­ ing school is about the same every­ where, Every bad boy is a boil and every other bad boy wents to scratch the scab off of it. But wherever they are the teachers are gentlemen and ladies and your Uncle Tobey bids Goilspeed in ther useful calling, and hopes the day will come when those who have served a reasonable number of years in that eapacity will receive a pension for the balance of their liveB. CIRCUS DAY. Wednesday, Apr. 19th Marks the Coming of the Sparks World's Famous Shows to Mocksville. Will Give Two Complete Performances. Circus day dawns with an Indefin­ able stir In the air that sets the small boy’s beart to beating taster, and awakens pleasant memories In the minds of the graybeards who have not forgotten childhood’s happy days. The people of this city and com­ munity will undoubtedly be treated to a tremendous surprise in the above show, as report has it that it is not only tripled In size this season, but that it still retains those features, that made it such a welcome visitor In past years, viz: Its freedom from all semblance of gamblers and fakers, the high-class mpral entertainment afforded and its honorable methods of doing business. John H. Sparks and his managerial associates have not only ventured in ' to a field of greater endeavor, but In so doing, it is said, have outdistanced tented rivals In a manner that leaves nothing to the imagination with the additional telling advantage of being tripled in size. All new In the mat­ ter of equipment and presentation, and -still retaining the wonderful trained wild animal exhibition, which has done much to cause this show to become famous, it is the most re­ markable amusement enterprise of its kind In the world today. The big noon-day parade, while a feature of marvelous beauty and enor­ mous expense, is but a slight remind­ er of the great pomp, opulence and bewildering brilliancy to be wit­ nessed under the mammoth tents dur­ ing the exhibitions. In other words the show Is not all on the streets. Letter From Washington. Tf you and your readers will bear with me for a- short while, I will try to give you a brief outline ot my trip to Houston, Texas and re turn. We left Walla Walla, Washington,;at 12:15 p. m., Mon­ day, Feb. 27t-h; arrived in Dalles. Oregon at about 5:30 a. m., and from there to Portland. The scenery is very wild and rugged Ou one side the mountains tower­ ing above, covered in forest and snow, while on the opposite side flows the Columbia river. We saw the Cascade locks, which are built in the river for the . ships to go through to escape the rocks. The Mount Hood and Banier all cover­ ed in snow. Arrived in Portland at 8:15, changed cars and went ot, our way through some very pretty country crossed the Willamette river. The hills and valleys are dotted with farms and pretty homes we passed through, Salem, Albany, Eugene, Rose bury, and quite a few small towns, arriving in Ashland Oregon at 12:30 p. m., Tuesday night stopping at Ashland hotel, Ashland is a fruit growing town of about three thousand is at the head of “ Rogue river valley” one of the greatest fruit growing re­ gions in Oregon. The Siskiyou mountains tower above the town on the south. Left Ashland at 4:30 p, m., tor San Francisco Cal., over the Southern Pacific Sunsei Route. Wednesday Mar. 1st, and began Chinbiug the mountains SiBkiyou station is the highest poiut it being at the summit and is 4,135 feet above sea level we there entered California, the Sunset state, and as we descend, we enter a great grain, stock and fruit growing country. ThurBday a. m., we have left the mountains and are in a level country dotted with lakes and rivers. The plains are covered in wheat and every thing pretty, and green flowers bloming; fruit trees in full bud, and away in the dis­ tance the mountains loom up cover­ ed in snow. Pretty homes and small villages dot the plains. At eleven o’clock, the train pulled in­ to the big ferry boat ‘•Salona’'' and crossed the bay, and at twelve, pulled into Oakland. Transferred to ship and crossed the bay again, arriving in San FranciBco harbor at 12:30. It is a large city, all new. with about ope half million inhabitants, but it is very smoky and dirty. Cliff House is out in the ocan and as it was raining we could not get ont to it but we took a taxicab and went around over the city and to the beach and to Golden Gate Park, which I cannot begin to describe. Left Frisco at 4 p. m. Everything on route was flooded with water. On Friday Mar. 3rd, at 3 a. m., we were aroused from sleep by the engineer throwing the brakes. We were laid out behind a sandslide right on the Pacific ocean, 275 miles from Los Angeles. The wind was blow­ ing about sixty miles an hour and the sand and spray from the ocean was blowing the car was rocking. We laid out thera four hours ex­ pecting every minute to be blown into the ocean. From there to Santa Barbara, we were all badly frightened and had same very close calls. In places the tirack was very badly washed. Theconductorsaid it was one of the worst storms he had ever seec. on the coast. We arrived in Los Angelea at 2:45 p. in., seven hours late. It is a very beautiful city, all kinds of flowers bloomiug, orange trees full of fruit and beautiful homes. Oranges can be bought at ten cents a dozen. We took a car and went our to Venice beach. AU along the car line were pretty homes and bungo- iows. It carried us past Harvard military school. We got off the car at Santa Monica and walked all along the beach where every amusement possible is found. We dipped our feet in the Pacific ocean, went in the Aquariam and saw the different kinds of fish etc. After we left Los Angeles, we passed through some of California’s big orange groves. At 12:30 we srossed the Colorado river, and pulled into Yuma, now in Arizona. Along by the track were the squaws setting in a row with their bead work, Iudian blankets, etc., spread out in front of them. All Satur­ day morning, 4th, we are traveling through Arizona. Nothing but desert covered in sage brush and cactus. A few small stops which included only adobe huts and sec­ tion houses. One would wonder how the people could live on that dry plain. Arrived in Lucson at 9:45. It is quite a pretty place. On the south side of the town are all adobe huts occupied by the Mexicans, and on the north side are the Americans. It is quite a curiosity to one who has never seen anything like it before, AU the inhabitants are mostly of a brown­ ish red complectiou. A t 2 p. m.. we crossed the Iiue info New Mexi­ co, which is much the same as Arizona. Passing “ Gage H ill,” at one time one of the richest cop­ per mines in New Mexico, worked by the Spaniards and Mexicans, as you look from the car window you can see the staiu of the copper on the hillside. From the car on the north a peak the “Three Mary’s,” meets the eye, and on the south Cook’s Peak rises to view. Away at the foot is one lone adobe hut surrounded by Spanish daggers. Deming is called the Windmilll City, a very pretty little town of adobes and a few modern homes, In the center is a little Mexican church AU the Mexican churches have little crosses on top, and every house has a windmill. We also saw a copper smelter where they ship the ore-from, and one peak called the Needle’s Eye. There is a small hole through the top of the peak that you can see day light through. Crossed the Membres river, which is an underground passage of water. Next it was Devil’s side, a natural shoe which towers above other peaks, it being 400 feet high and 50 wide. Next the Kenziu Volcano, now extinct. A great lava bed extents along the track for a number of miles. “ Uncle Sam’s Boys,” are stationed- the whole way along the border and seemed to be perfectly calm and indifferent to the fighting— didn’t mind at all. At 7:05 we crossed the Kio Grande river and pulled into the union depot, at El Paso Texas. Sunday morning finds us winding our way across the plains of Texas similar .to those of Arizona and New Mexico. We crossed the high bridge over the Pecos river, the second highest in the world and the highest in America, the one higher being in Switzerland. It is 321 feet from J FOR THE BEST VALUES IN J j Men’s and Boy’s Clothing and Furnishings t 4» VISIT % Mock-Bagby-Stockton Co., J J “Same Price to AH.” 418,Trade Street J j WINSTON-SALEM, N.

As we crossed the bridge that beautiful Sunday morning there was ten in the car who sang that hymn “ Pass me not, Oh! Gentle Savior.” We next crossed Devil’s river, and traveled along its edge, opposite it being a high rock wall, all .green and flowers in bloom. We again come to Rio Grande as it winds it* way in its course to the sea. Here Devil’s river empties into it, the water of one being clear as crystal, and the other muddy. Del Rio is a very pretty place. A rrivein San Antonio Sunday p. m., and went to Buckhorn’s sa­ loon, a museum, to three old mis­ sions, then the Alamo building, whose history every SouthcrLer is familiar with. The plaza out in front is perfectly beautiful. There are a great many Mexicans and negroes in San Antono, but it is the prettiest Texas city we were in. It was 95 degrees in the shade. We left San Antonio that night, arri ving in Houston Monday a. m., at seven o’clock. Houston is a pret ty city, and we liked it very much but it was so hot that coming right out of ice and snow into such heat, we couldn’t stand it, bo we left Tuesday night on our return jour­ ney to dear old Washington, arri ving in ElPaso Thursday March 9th at seven a. m. We stouped there and took a car and went over into old Mexico at Juarez, the Rio- Grande being the border line. It is a very odd looking place. The buildings all low and flat topped, painted white, or white washed ra­ ther. There are all kinds oi Curio stores, each person being allowed to bring over $1.00 of stuff Any­ thing over that amouut you have to pay duty on. The jail and bar­ racks are all together and is a long two story flat top building, and al­ so the “ Old Mission” more than two hundred years’old, and we saw the Arena where they have the bull fights. The Mexican soldiers were then expecting the Rebels to attack the city at any time, (they being onlj three miles out,) and the breast works piled high around the barrackB and old mission. We came back and took in- Eipaso, a nice place, but hilly and too many Mexicans. A railroad town, five terminals. We came to Los Angel­ es over the Santa Fe. Left Los Angeles Saturday night for Sacra­ mento. The San Joaquine valley was all flooded, buildings were al­ most entirely covered, and others floating around, Water was all one could see from each side of ear. We stopped twelve hours in Sucra mento and went through China­ town. Saw the state capital and went out to the Sacramento river, where the ships come in and an chor, and to many other places of -interest. We left there on Shasta Route, crossing and recrossing the Sacramento river seventeen times, following to its head, going through nineteen tunnels, the longest being 11-4 miles- Stopped at Shasta Springs, and drank some Shasta water. Shasta mountains is cover­ ed in perpetual enow. That is & mining region and lumber camps are also found. There are very fine summer resorts, all across the mountains. W earrived in Port land, Oregon Tuesday a m., of the 14th, and arriven here Wednesday tired and dirty,, but feeling fine, for we certainly enjoyed the trip and met some nice people. I would like to give a more accurate description,, but can only give; an Qutline as I IiaverTit place. Miss Beulah Current. Starbuck, W ash., Mar. 26th. Never Out of Work.

To hear the thunderous roars at the man-eating kings of the forest, to feel their hot breath wafted through the barred windows of a tiny cabin in the jungles is certainly thrilling. Fritz Brunner, the famous animal trainer with the John H. Sparks shows, which are to exhibit in this city, was raised In a cabin In the wilds of equatorial Africa. His father was an agent of the Royal Zoological society of Germany, and spent many years securing specimens for that in­ stitution. Hence from childhood Mr. Brunner was accustomed to hear nightly the roars of monster lions, the hideous tiger’s growls and the snarling leopards and hyenas, which would engage in deadly combats around the cabin, often burling their huge weights against its frail walls and scampering over it3 roof. As ha grew up In these surroundings he be­ came a fearless hunter, meeting the wild denizens of the forest face to face and engaging In fierce struggles with the infuriated beasts. He after­ wards became a trainer, and his ab­ solute mastery over the brute crea­ tion is not equalled by any living man. A large steel enclosure will be erected in the center of the exhibi­ tion tent, into which the ferocious animals will be turned loose. Mr. Brunner will then enter the enclosure, unarmed, and put them through a re­ markable series of performances that will vividly illustrate their tremen­ dous strength and agility. It is a thrilling, hair-raising sight and one that you will never forget. The program of the John H. Sparks shows is entirely composed of mar­ velous, expensive and carefully se­ lected features, which makes it so vastly superior to all other similar exhibitions. Mocksville, Wednesday, April 19th. Hobble Vs. Herem. At Chicago, 111., March 20th, a for­ lorn looking object tripped into the Palmer House, - dressed in deep mourning. She was going to her funeral which was held that night by the members of the Chicago Dressmakers’ Club. There were few mourners for the. dejected looking object, which was no other than our old friend, Miss Hobble Skirt. “The hobble is dead; long live the harem skirt and its little brother the pasha skirt,” was the cry raised by the hundreds of fashionable modistes who are gathered at the Palmer House for the dressmaker’s conven­ tion, which opened this evening. From all descriptions of the real ha­ rem skirt and of the pasha that could be gleaned from the dictators of women’s fashions, it appears the de­ parting hobble was only a poor tame spiritless thing, which should have been strangled to death long ago. Now theharem and the pasha say the drersmakers, are something “spirited, stylish, pleasing to the eye noticeable and comfortable. But before Mme. Ripley, president of the club, would give out any in­ formation regarding the harem and pasha she declared the dressmakers and women of fashion had chosen a good, homely, old-fashioned name for the new skirt. There is no coy hesitancy in the name chosen. It stands out in bold relief as follows: Pantaloon skirt. “Society women christened the skirt’’ said Mme. Ripley. “The Pan­ taloons on the ski it will show for several inches below the hem of the skirt proper. By the way, this year no woman will be able to put her skirt on over her head- The skirts will be narrow around the bottom, the largest not being more than one and one-half yards in circumference. Itw asfurther learned that the colors worn by women this year will look like engineer’s 'signals in a freight yard. First there will be the “coronation purple” then the “Hel­ en Taft Pink” and Iasc but h it least “radish red.” Saved His Mother’? Life. "Four doctors had given me up,” writes Mrs. Laura Gaines, of Avoca, La, ’‘arid my children and all m y friends werelook- ing for me to die, when my son insisted that I use Electric Bitters.

The Brown Cat, But He Was Gray, BrotherBrowiilivedintown. He had a cat that was lame in the back, so he took him off and threw him down in the woods far out of town. A neighbor took him in and named him Mack, and treated him well for quite a spell, but finding that he would not do, picked him with three others, landed them back on brother Mack. As I passed back a little Mack drew near and threw in a sack, I soon discovered his trick and turn­ ed out the cat very quick, but kept the sack, so brother Brown and his four cats are still in town My ad­ vice to you, Mr. Brown, when you have a cat that is not able to get around, is to keep him in your own little town. .W. L. H. Stolen Scraps. A woman who cries a great deal is usually a great kisser. Many a wife, is ashamed of her husband’s hat at JSsster. An Easter bonnet on the head is worth two in the shop window. Revenge may b® sweet, but most women like to be identified with a box of chocolates. Taxicabs and silk stockings are ba­ nana peels on the threshold of a wo­ man’s virtue. There is quite a difference between the cost of an Easter hat and the Easter offering. Every great man must realize that he'is not as great as the newspapers say he is. When you get through with your work, for Heaven’s sake go off and rest; don’t bother the man who is sti’.lbusy.

" AtKmt- the funniest story I’ve heartMately was told by H. K. Edens, of RnsseIville Ala., and it was on a negro preacher by tbe name of Johnson. Parson Johnson had been caught redhanded, ling ging one of the finest “ ewe lambs” of the Hock, and as this particular Iamb was a very popular young la­ dy it created quite a siir among the good sisters of the church—for it. was quite a scandal in zion. So ilBrudder Johnson” was brought before the church for trial. Asthe trial progressed and the good sisters and deacons were making it pretty warm (or the pastor of the flock, that reverend gentleman arose to defend himself. Turniug to one of the deacons he said “ Brudder Jones, did you eber Bee any ecclesiastical works of art?” “ Yes, sah,” said Brudder Jones. “ Well, deK,” continued Brudder Johnson, “ef yon hab seen deni great pictures you knows dat do great Shepherd ob de sheep am al ways pictured wid one ob de lambs ob. de llockiu his arms.” “Yas, sah, pahson, dat am so,” admitted Brudder Jones. “ Den Brudder Jones, what am wrong in de Bbepberd ob dis beah little flock takiu’ one ob de flock in his arms?” This was too much for Deacon . Jones. He couid not answer it, but seeing something had to be done he proposed that they have a called meeting in tbe afternoon in order to more fully discuss the matter and reach a conclusion if possible. So the meeting was call­ ed and after discussing the matter from every point of view the church drew up the following resolution: “ Resolved, Dat for the futuie peace of dis congregation, dat de next time Brudder Johnson feels called on to take a lamb of de flock in bis arms, dat he pick out a ram lamb.”—F.

I HE PRESS, THE PEOPLE’S RIGHTS MAINTAIN; UNAWED BY INFLUENCE AND UNBRIBED BY GAIN.” MOCKSVILLE. NORTH CAROLINA. WEDNESDAY, APRIL 26. 1911,NUMBER 42 often r ernls the uonej me man who However worthy a citizen may be, he cannot hope to be hon­ ored by public office unless he spends a whole lot of cash. Arm- field of Iredell was once elected to iCoDgress and his election expenses amounted to just twenty dollars. Iu the same district it is said that -at a candidate spent between t^t and ten thonsand dollars for r. Agehtlemanof state- u t) prominence, told a News man recently that it had come to the pass that a man couldn’t be elected Governor of North Carolina unless 'ie “ blew in” something liketwen- v thousand dollars. This effect- y~ prevents a poor man from ing public honors. Unless a change from this sort of thing is made, it will finally come to the point where only the man with money can be elected to anything worth while; and the people ought to pat a stop to it. . And in all that has been Baid and written about this growing evil—for evil it is and a serious sort of evil—we have seen no ade­ quate remedy suggested. Tn fact, there are few men engaged in the game of polities who are willing to admit the cause or to discusB it. The canse mast be located and cor­ rectly diagnosed before a remedy can be prescribed. Oar opinion is that the cause is to be found in just two words— “greed” and “graft.” Of late years an inordinate hunger for of­ fice, for public position, has become rampant and the greet of men for honors and the emoluments thereof has become bo great and so power­ ful that many of them have been willing to pay large sums to pro­ cure election to office. The idea has met a ready response, on the part of precinct bosses, heelers, henchmen 'and tricksters whose palms itch for graft. Patriotic workers in elections have seen their places filled by political hirelings; and the results have manifested themselves in many instances of corrupt government. Largeropportnnities for working the greed and grait game have come through the modern primary, no­ tion, Where the hungry office hunters feels that a nomination is equivalent to an election, he or­ ganizes his forces and distributes the filthy lucre among his workers —you hear them referred to as “ workers” more frequently nowa­ days than they arecalled “friends” —and they are under contract to deliver the goods. Ifoneofthem fails in a certain precinct he comes up with the excuse toat “ the other fellows had the most money and that with a hundred or so dollars more I could have carried things like that!” Contrast the nomination of Hon, A . M. Scales for Governor with that of our presenTGovernor. Mr, Scales was a member or Congress and was at his post in Washington attending to his business there when the convention met. The good men of the State—as delegates —went up to the convention litreal- Iy hunting a tpan for, governor and in casting about for the right man a wire was sent to Mr. Scales ask­ ing if he would accept the office. He made no campaign, expensive or otherwise, and had no “ work­ ers” in the field. But this modern wave of reform —God Bave the mark!—swept up-, on us, and it has been an open secret that Governor Kitchin well nigh bankrupted himself to secure the nomination. So eager and de- id y—was he deserted his ,Iiingtou and pensive cam- ininetion. Like :.e Craig and. Col. orne were in the race and its close they were “out” a small fortune each. There are already significant rumblings and mutter ings foretelling a fierce conflict next years. The men who want office are no longer content to let the people “ unawed by influence and unbrib­ ed by gain,” take their names and the records of what they have done, their reputation for ability and their claim to a good charact­ er, and work the matter out in the interest o( good government; but they most push themselves out in­ to a dress parade and war of high sounding promises and political platitudes, shooting the sheckles out quietly to the “ workers” de­ termined to win at any cost. In some campaigns slander is the mildest and most inoffensive weap­ on used. This sort of thing is not confined to any one party. The infection is general. It is high time that the thought­ ful men in all parties arouse them­ selves—kill these destructive par­ asites, greed and graft—and restore an era of government in which an office can look quietly about for an honest and capable man to fill it without being held up as a prize to go to the man who can win in a bitter fight, who can excel in male­ diction and invective, who is the sharpest in driving a political trade and procuring the influence of well meaning men, and who can, and will spend the ihost money to hire men and round up the voters who can be “influenced.” The expense of modern cam­ paigns has grown to be a national menace and disgrace.—Greensboro News. What the Old Farm' Might be Worth. Progressive Farmer. We farmers of the South, as a rule, no adequate conception of the possibi’ities of these old farmB of ours over which we have worked, perhaps, for years and years. In fact, most of us do not realize what these farms are worth right now. The average farmer, in his compa­ risons of the farm with other busi­ nesses, fails to give the farm credit for much of what it yields the own­ er. Suppose, for example, Mr. Header, that you had to pay rent at town prices on a home such as yours, suppose you had to buy there fuel and water and- vegeta bles and butter aud eggs and all the dozens of little things you get on the farm without thinking of them; suppose you had to pay out of a salary or from the proceeds of another business for every horse­ back ride and buggy drive you now have without cost—if you had to do all this you would soon revise your ideas as to what you get off the farm. The writer has put this pro­ blem up to two or three farmers who were figuring out how much greater returns they could get trom their capital invested in some other business, and when they began con­ sidering this feature of the case they had to make an entirely new set of comparisons. Tne man in another business has to pay for these things, too, in hard cold cash. The farmer who “lives at home,” as a farmer should, gets them and scarcely thinks about them, they seem so much a matter of course. Yes, the old farm gives us, as a rule, a great deal for which we fail to give it credit; but there are few of us indeed who get out ci' it what we might. We have, in fact never realized what a little piece of land can do. Look at these facts about the is­ land of Jersey, from which our Jer­ sey cattle come: There are about 20.000 acres of land in the island^ Of this, 4,095 acres is pasture, 3,- 665 for mowing, 1,000 in heath and mountain, 1,000 is in orchards. Nearly 400 acres is devoted to root crops, turnips and mangels, 1,414 acres to grain, 8.557 acres to pota­ toes, and 1,845 acres to miscellan­ eous crops. There are ou the island more than 12.000 cattle, about 2,000 being exported yearly. There are over 2.000 horses, over 5,000 swine and sheep and goats enough to bring the total number of animals to more than 20,000, more than one to each acre of land. The sales of cattle and dairy pro ducts of course, constitute the main source of income; but cattle and dairy products are not all that the islanders raise. They export about 2.500.000 bushels of potatoes year­ ly. The average potato yield is a- bout 400 bushels per acre, not of mature tubers, but of those dug mostly for the early market when about the size of a large egg. Of coarse, the soil is rich, but it has been made and kept so by good husbandry. Over in China and India, where the population is less dense than on these islands and where the soil is naturally as fertile famine stalks almost every year. It is intelligence on the one hand againBt ignoranee on the other. And it is intelligence on the one hand and ignorance on the other that make one fertile farm in a neigh­ borhood and a poor one right be­ side it. When any tract of land becomes poorer through cultivation than it was in its natural state, that land haB been badly treated. We talk of restoring land to its “ virgin fertility”; but our “ new-grounds” may be and should be so handled that they will grow larger crops ten or a hundred years from now than at present. The lands of the Bouth can, by good farming, be made to produce twice, three times five times, as much as at present. Five times our average yields would only mean about 85 bushels of corn or 950 pounds of lint cotton to the acre; and both these yields, look small when compared with what dozens of mere boys have done. No, we do not know what the old farm might be worth, and it’s chea­ per, too, to build up the old farm you own than to go West and buy one somebody else owns or go into a town business you know nothing about. Nor can you find a finer work than to help, those acres of yours to realize their hidden pos­ sibilities. Good Advice. We wish to caution our readers about buying high-priced seed. Just beeause the growers claims that he has made 100 bushels of corn per acre or two bales of cotton. Don’t risk more than an acre in any variety until you have grown it and are sure it suits your soil We see men every spring buy ex- travagently advertised seed and in the fall they are disappointed with the results. We know several far­ mers who planted their entire cot­ ton crop in a new variety which proved to be late on their soil and they didn’t make over one third of a crop. However, it pays to use good seed, but get best in your neighborhood and improve it. The big yields made by some growers are not always the results of good seed but due rather to the abnor­ mal use of fertilizer,—Ex, « A Foolish Argument Will the parcels post bankrupt the country merchants! Some are being made to believe that it will. We have never been ableourselves to figure out how it would injure them the least little bit. AU this talk about the big mail-order houses fails to impress us for the simple reason that the eountry merchant can use the postoffice just the same as the farmer or the mail­ order man, and so long as he keeps what the farmers want and sells at a reasonable price they are going to buy of him rather than of the man in a distant city. Stronger evidence still is to be found in the fact that the small merchants have not been injured iu other counties by this same parcels post. It hasn’t turned the trade of Great Britain or France or Australia over to a few big mail-order houses, and we do not believe any such re­ sults will follow its adoption in America. In any case, should this country be deprived of a conven­ ience enjoyed by every other civi­ lized nation just because it might injure the business of a few thou­ sand retail merchants! It seems to us that the millions of farmers are also entitled to consideration. -Progressive Farmer. A Thought for the Week. Happy old man! So the farm will still be thine, and large enough for thee. W hat though all around bare boulders and marsh with its muddy sedge almost chokes up thy pasture, yet the pregnant ewes will not take harm from atrange her­ bage, and will be safe from the touch of disease from a neighbor’s flock. Happy old man! Hhere is landed by your native rivers and holy streams,, thou wilt revel in the cool of the shade.

A man who was walking through a train inadvertently Iefe the door of one of the cars open. A big man sitting in a seat- in the middle of the car yelled: “Shut the door, you fool! Were you raised in a barnl’ The man who had left the door open closed it and then, dropping into a seat, buried his face in his hands and began to weep. The big man looked somewhat uncomfort able aud, rising, finally walked to the weeper and tapped him on the shoulder. “ My friend,”_hejsaid, “ I didn’t intend to hurt your feelings. I just wanted you to close the door.” The man who was weeping rais ed his head and grinned. ‘‘Old man hesaid, “I am not crying be cause you asked me if I was raised in a barn.

Notwithstanding the heavy downpour of rain which ■fell most of the day, about 800 peo­ ple witnessed the afternoon perfor­ mance. The show was first-class in every particular, and was clean and high-toned throughout. The clowns were good, and the Japaneseperfor mers were the best we have seen in many years, especially the two little fellows. Thetrained elephants did their part to perfection. The Acro­ batic feats and trapeze acting was also good. The only thing that mar­ red the afternoon performance was the accident that occurred to one of the lady trapeze performers. While swinging on the trapeze she lost her hold and fell a distance of about fif­ teen feet striking the ground with terriflic force. Dr. Rodwell was hurried to the scene and after a care­ ful examination found that no bones were broken, and that the lady was not seriously hurt, sustaining only a few bruises and a wrenched shoul­ der.

Charlotte, April 9.—In a scratch­ ing, arraignment of the leaders of the local Democratic party from his pulpit tonight, Rev. Dr. Her­ man H. Hullen, pastor of the First Baptist church declared that mon­ ey and liquor had been freely used “ to prostitue manhood and foster anarehy” in the recent municipal primary, not sparing members of bis own congregation. He declared that the polls were steeped in slush; that voters were openly bought and he had the evi­ dence; that liquor was used to de­ bauch even a part of his congrega tion, and that one of his deacons had boasted of “ voting a man.” Drug stores, he Baid, took the place of the open saloon here iu prohibi­ tion Charlotte, and he urged the grand j ury to do its duty. Even in the ward meetings classes had been arrayed against masses, and anar­ chy encouraged. The congregation that heard his terrific arraignment, packed the big edifice to the doors.
