05-May"HERE SHALL THE PRESS, THE PEOPLE’S RIGHTS MAINTAIN; UNAWED BY INFLUENCE AND UNBRIBED BY GAIN.” VOLUMN XII.MOCKSVILLE. NORTH CAROLINA. WEDNESDAY. MAY 3, 1911 NUMBER 43 Co-Operation Between Raiboade And The Public. New York, A pril.—“Never be­ fore in this country has the com­ mon good of all its interests so hinged upon a real genuine spirit Of co-operation between the rail­ roads of the country and its peo­ ple,J’ was a statement made today by. Mr. J. J. Campion, Vice Presi­ dent and Traffic Manager of the Carolina, Clinchfleld & Ohio rail­ road, a southern, line with main offices in Johnson City, Tenn. “ And never before,” said he, “since the earlier days of railroad building has there been more evi­ dence that such a spirit exists and that it is working itself into actual fact. “The greatest of all needs in the southern Btates today,” saip Mr. Campion, “ is more people.” Many millions of acres lie' wholly unused which, with less expendi­ ture of labor and capital than else­ where in the Union, would yield about as many million tons of traf­ fic that they do not iB an annual heavy Iobs not only to the railroads, but to the entire country. It iB even greater to the latter. Easily the first of the problems confront ingour line was the question o more people to make use of the idle land. The settlement of this ques­ tion was, we recognized, possible only by enlisting with ub the in­ dividual efforts of the population we had. We were willing to go to the extreme limit in advertising the advantages of our line, bnt ad­ vertising alone would not turn the flow of home-seekers south, nor would it stay the movement of peo­ ple from the south to the weBt. Theeffortsofolder lines had not been able to accomplish these things, and we did not see any prospect that similiar efforts on our part would do any more. It was evident, then, that some new mea-> sure must be adopted. Some sharp, clean departure irom ineffectual !migration plans of the past must be made. Whereupon we inaugu­ rated what we called the “Back Home” movement, which is sim _ ply inducing our people to call their kinsman and friends back to their former homes. Looks easy, does’nt it! Yes, it’s simple enough that- little proposition is loaded to the guards. “First” , continued Mr. Campion, the plan at once sei­ sed upon the fancy of the people. Jt brought them into the work with -us. It was something in which -they had personal interest, whieh is, of course, necessary before there can be any co-oporation. They had never before had any interest in the matter of imigration. In any general sense they do not now, but the “ Back Home” movement has reduced the subject to terms of in­ dividual “human interest” ; and, although it was set in motion only last August, it has already extend­ ed itself throughout ail the Btates east of the Mississippi and south of the Ohio and Potomac rivers. “ I will go into the subject of re­ sults irom the movement, although they have been far beyond expec­ tation. My purpose is to show that the public is ready to co-ope­ rate with the railroads when there is a reasonable basiB for co-opera­ tion, and when it is made plain that tbeir interests are indentical. I do not, of course, expect that there will always be perfect agree­ ment between them, for the relation of buyer and seller will always ex­ ist; b^t upon broad economic issues I believe that the educative in­ fluence now at work, both upon the carriers and the public, will soon remove many of the difficulties heretofore so perplexing and inju rioustoall.” W . D, Roberts, Cor. Johnson City, Tenn. J. M. Howell, a popular druggist of sburg, Ky., says. “We use Chamber­ 's Cough Remedy in our own household know it is excellent." Forsalebyall its. To The Fanners Of The South. The death of Dr. Seaman A. Knapp, of the United States Agri­ culture Department, which occur­ red in Washington, D. C., on the 1st instant, has been a great loss to the farmers of the United States and especially to those of the Sou­ thern States. Dr. Knapp understood thorough­ ly the agricultural problems of the South, and, as the official in charge of the Farmers’ Co-operative De­ monstration Work of the Depart­ ment, it may be said, comprehen­ sively speaking, that he did more than any other one man in our time to bring about the adoption of Im­ proved agricultural methods in the South. When the Mexican co'ton bojj weevil began to spread over the fields of Texas and there were pre dictions that it would render cotton production unprofitable in all of the territory to which it might spread, Dr. Knapp devoted \him­ self to solving the problem of main­ taining cotton production in spite of the presence of that, inject. He and those who were co-operating with him in this work were soon able to demonstrate that cotton could be grown profitably under boll weevil conditions, and that, simply by the adoption of proper cultural methods, farmers conld, in some localities at least grow more cotton per acre with the weevil in their fields than they had produc ed before its appearance. As a re­ sult, by the time the weevil had spread eastward to the Mississippi river the farmers of the South had been educated up to the knowledg that, by following intelligently the advice given by Dr. Knapp, its de­ structiveness could be greatly re duced. Dr. Knapp waB an apostle of good farming in every department. He taught the value of fall plowing with deep breaking of the ground, of growing winter cover crops, and of building up soil fertility by the proper rotations of cropB and by the intelligent use of manures and commercial fertilizers. He believ­ ed in growing live stock, at least to the extent of utilizing all the waste products and idle lands of the farm and in producing on each-farm, as fair as possible, all of the foods re­ quired by the men and animals on the farm. One feature of Dr. Knapns work which I believe to be of inestimable value to the South was his organi­ zation of Boy’s Corn Clubs. While the immediate purpose of these clubs is the growing of corn, they are performing a much more valna ble work for the South in the grow­ ing of farmers. Their full value to our section will be realized when Dr. Knapp’s Corn Club boys, as grown-up farmers, apply the same methods of intensive farming to other crops and to entire farms that they have used in mak’ng record yields of corn on single acres. While doing so much for the boys of the South, Dr.: Knapp did not neglect the girls, and the organiza­ tion of a Girl’s Tomato- Club at Aiken, 8, C., last season marked the beginning of a Work which has greatly enlarged for' this season and which, at the time of his death, he was preparing still further to ex­ pand. - T feel sure that I voice the senti­ ments of the farmers of the South and of all the Southern people in expressing th,e opinion that Dr. Beaman A Knapp was one of the most useful citizens of the United States in his generation, ...and that in his death, oar whole section has Buffered a great loss. W. W. FINLEY. Great Excitement in Charlotte. The Charlotte Observer Saturday told of a season of excstement in the Queen City Friday night that broke all records. The Observer said; Charlotte had on her streets yes­ terday afternoon about 4 o’clock, for the first time, a real bona-fide, far-famed, full fledged, as wall as full-peg harem skirt. The wearer created a great stir as she cut the corners. A t the waist the “skirt” was not unlike the ordinary ladies’ skirt, but down below it was divid­ ed in a like manner to the riding habit. From the hips of the wearer, the garment fell gracefully towards the ankles. Here it was gathered in with a bow. The sight of the “gay Paree’s” latest creation drew a crowd everywhere it moved, and wa3 all the talk over the city all the afternoon. When first seen the woman a- lighted from a “ night-hawk” in front of the Princess theater, on West Trade street. So quickly did she buy a ticket, and get inside the house of amusement that only a few of the street frequenters got a glimpse of the garment and the wearer. However, the few people that did get a glimpse of it were strictly on their jobs, and by the time the harem wearer had finished looking at the three reels of pic­ tures in the PrinceBS, quite a good- sized crowd had gathered to see her. W hensheemergedfrom the Princess, she went directly around the corner to Theato No. I, through one of the most thoroughly amuBed crowds that has been seen in the city since- DeWolf Hopper was here. When she was ready to come from Theato No. I, a still larger crowd was on hand to “see the sights.” Shejumped in the hack amid the shouts and cheers, and drove across the square to the' Casiuo. When she came out of this place the -‘largest crowd of the season” greeted her, as she desperately made her way through the cheering and jeering mob to her “carriage.” It seemed wnen where on a good farm. I believe it is the happiest life in the world ’ Then go out in the country and you will hear some dissatisfied man say; “This is a hard life, and if I had money enough I ’d give it up and move to town, where I’d have a chance to get into something.” Neither of them know what they want and are talking at random— just as they are living. They are not making practical determined efforts to do anything. It takes more than money to be successful in town or in the country. There are things necessary, to happiness and contentment that money can­ not buy. In the world of work and endeavor there is a variety of occupations and a definite decision must be made, and you must fall in love with your chosen field. There is no love of earthly things like love of the soil. Stay on the farm, young man, or, if you have left it, go back as soon as you can. she came from the little moving picture tent that everybody on the streets of Charlotte had gathered. From Robinson’s book store to the Charlotte hotel, the people could be seen. People were running from every direction towards the square. Amid-all this the nervy young woman walked smilingly to her transportation and drove to the Charlotte hotel. Foresorenessof the’'muscles whether induced by violent exercise orinjurCham- berlain’s Liniment is excellent. This lini­ ment is also highly esteemed for the relief it affords in cases of rheumatism.

Advice to Farmers. By his own labor there isn’t one farmer in a thousand in this State who can produce and gather one thousand dollars’ worth of staple crops a year, but thousands of ne­ gro laborers working for corpora­ tions get wages that amount to over a thousand dollars a year. The av­ erage total value oif the products that result from a year’s labor on the farm will show that the farmer who depends upon his own labor works for less wages than are paid to salesmen, carpenters, brick layers and in many instances less than is paid to negro laborers and servants in towns and cities. W ecanjudge the value of a man’s labor on the farm only by the value of his pro­ ducts, and that is the only way to find out what sort of wages he is working for. We are aware that the wages of farmers would be in­ creased a hundred per cent, if they could get within fifteen or twenty per cent, of the prices paid for their products by the consumers in the cities, but an extravagant, expensive and circuitous system of distribution causes the consumer to pay heavy tolls and these tolls amount, on an average, to sixtv cents on the dollar above-the prices received by the far­ mer. Direct marketing will go a long way towards remedying this evil. The producers and consumers must get;jj£$se together and estab­ lish a more economical system of dis­ tribution. The Farmers’ Union stands ready to do its part towards correcting the economic error of in­ direct marketing, which hits both producer and consumer some hard blows.—CarolinaUnion Farmer. Back To The Farm. Greensboro News. If you have made the mistake of not Btaying on the farm, go back. Others are doing it and the country is going to profit by it. Whatever makes for profit of the country will benefit you. The following is a local news item appearing in the Sanford Express this week: Mr. Martin Wilcox, who has for a number of years been an engineer on the Atlantic Coast Line railway has resigned and now has charge of his fathers farm at Carbonton. Captain Wilcox, in his more active days, was one of the best farmers in that section and the way his son has taken hold leads his friends and neighbors to believe that he will prove a worthy successo.” . Mr. Wilcox.has gone back -to a good farm among good people, and is going to make his mark as a farmer. We know him—he is of good stock. This case is not an insolated one. We have in mind several cases where “ wandering boys” have heard the call “ back to the back,” and to the old home that has called loudly for them and is still calling to others. Strange how intelligent people misunderstand things in this world. You often hear some fel­ low who lives in town or city say something like this; “ I wish I had money enough to move out some- Neither Do We. We don’t know how the new plan for assessing land is going to work, but the valuation of real es­ tate in Union county is high en­ ough, and if those who have been appointed to look after this impor­ tant matter have hearts that are not made of stone, we don’t believe they are going to raise the valuati­ on. Taxes ought to be equalized— that is, every man should pay ac­ cording to his worth, but the poor fellow who has bnt little property is taxed as heavily as he is able to bear. In Union county the situa tion is an ideal one. The average farmer has his own home and no land to speculate on, and he ought not to be taxed to death.—Our Home. BARGINS! BARQINS!

The assistant tax assessors are abroad In the land, but where are the $4 per men? Our paper is printed on Tuesday, so we are unable to announce anything about the result of today's municipal election. Town politics got a little warm among the Democreitic breathren the past week. We stood afar off and watched the fun. About everything the farmer raises for the market has dropped in price, but what he has to buy remains the same. But that is what many of them voted for. We have found out who did more for Mocksville in the past twenty years than all others, but are afraid to print his name for fear of getting a licking. There are a few people so narrow-mind- ed that they don’t want people of a dif- ferent political faith to trade with them. Should they ever reach heaven, wonder how they would manage to get along.

Itwasadisappointed crowd that went to Williams yesterday in quest of the famous Yadkin corn, 30,000 gallons of which Uncle Sam had an­ nounced by an official order from the pen of the United States commission­ er of internal revenue that he would put on sale to the highest bidder. The booze was there all right stor­ ed snugly away in the big warehouse. The buyers were there—they came from the hills of Yadkin and the woods of Wilkes, from the cities far away and from Winston Salem near by. They were there on foot, a horseback, in buggiesand some came sizzing through the fields in big tour­ ing cars. By different routes they came, by different modes they jour­ neyed, to the mecca of their desires. Different people they were—men with the grinding cares of the busi­ ness load stamped on every feature —care-free swains with the ruddy complexion of the zephyr-kissed hills and sun-lit fields—but all were unit­ ed on the booze-bent way. Oneman is said to have had $100,000 in his jeans. Thatwouldhave bought it all. - The sale did not come off however and it is related that Mr. N. Glenn Williams, the duke of the Yadkin and master of ceremonies for all that sec­ tion, gave some of the gentlemen a pretty warm reception. They did not tarry long on the big plantation which is enough to say. Collector Brown of Statesville sent a deputy, who declared the sale off until May 5. Then it is said it will be sold unless Judge Boyd stops the proceed. From Rowan. The farmers are nearly two weeks late in this section on account of wet and cold weather. The most of the corn is planted and hasty preparations are being made to get the cotton seeds in the ground. With the exception of colds, health is fairly good. Besides Mr. AlexanderMiUer who died last Sunday, there has been but few recent deaths and we know of no cas­ es of serious sickness at this time. Christians Congregation is without a pastor again, and no prospects for one real soon. Rev. R. L. Brown and wife have been visiting their two daughters; one at Faith and one near there. They claim to have enjoyed their trids real nicely: Theywere at Faith over Easter, where they had veral days preaching and communion ser­ vices on Sunday. There was also an old- folks singing at the Lutheran church on Easter Monday, the music was good and the time appropriate. There was five preachers present and most of them made short addresses. An appointment was made for another singing on next Easter Monday, one year ahead. Mr. Daniel Eamhart has been havintf an o'possum farm, but recently he lost two of his largest,. nearly 20 pounder^. Cannot say if he will keep it up. Hehad a lot enclosed with hoUow logs in it suit­ able for them to raise, and he could have ’possum almost any time desired. It was a fine place for a preache; to get a square 'possum meal if a little notice of his visit was given beforehand. The rock quarries are beginning to open up again, and it is thought that Whitney will be in operation some time this com­ing summer.R. L. Brown, the jeweler, says watch work has been a little slack this spring. Is it because the days of prosperity have passed, and another panicle looking us in the face? We hope net, Sut it is hard to'tell what a day may bring forth under our present state administration. Best wishes for The Record with aU of its good, sound, sensible and instructive articles.

Subsequent reports from fruit­ growing sections of the State to the State Department of Agricul ture are confirming the estimate made two weeks ago that, while the peach crop in the extreme east­ ern Bection of the State is about completely killed, there is still half crop or more in the Southern Pines section and in the piedmont or central belt and prospects for a goed yield further west. The ap pie crop in the piedmont section has been much more seriously jure4.than in tne grea>t apple belt of the mountain region of the State. Indeed, it is estimated that the ap pie crop in the western part of the State will be a full one if there is no setback from now on. A Mountain Road. Mr. Joseph Hyde Pratt, has or ganized a compaay to build a turn pike from AltaPass on the Clinch field road to Linville on the north and to Switzerland on the south Heespeets toconiinne the turn pike to Asheville: It is to be pro­ perly graded and macadamized and it is thought that it will make great driveway and automobile route from Blowing Bock to Ashe ville.

Hitch up the horses put the hens into the wagon, aud when you find a man and his wife dwelling stop aud make in­ quiry as to who is boss. Wherever you find a woman running things leave a hen. If you come to a place wnere a man is in control, give him one of the horses.” After nioetj -nine hens had been disposed of, he came to a house aud made the usual inquiry, “I’m boss o’ this farm,” 3aid the man. So the mau. So the wife was called, and she affirmed her husband’s asser­ tion. “Take which ever horse you want,” was the boy’s reply.

Farm­ ers should have rest and recreation and time for development by read­ ing, like other people. Can’t afford it, you say? Let’s see: Nine hours per dag in the cotton fields, instead of fourteen hours, woulb limit the aggregate production of cotton in the South to something like nine million bales of cotton and nine mil­ lion bales of cotton will bring into the pockets of Southern farmers ap­ proximately three hundred million dollars more money than a fourteen million-bale crop will bring. The application of this principle to to­ bacco, peanuts, or any other pro­ duct of the farm will be productive of the same kind of results. Why do you want to keep your children out of school and let them grow up in ignorance and become an easy prey for superior intelligence, to produce two bales of cotton when one bale would bring as much as two bales, under the application of the principle of limited production and controlled marketing?

WEDNESDAY. MAY 10, 1911 NUMBER 44 Don’t Tax The Bachalor. The Fool Killer. Sotue rose-comb rooster recently writ me a ream of rot in which he implered me to turn my biggest guns on the Old Bachelors and give them a blistering biunce. But I ain’ta-goin’ to do it. nary step I ain’t, Instead of that, I am going to hang this modern Haman with the same rope that he wanted me to hang the Old Bachelors with. The unreasonable cuss wanted me to advocate a bachelor tax, making the poor old bachelors pay a tax of ten dollars a year on their misery. Now, dearly beloved, I suspect there are two kinds of bachelors- those who want to be bachelors and those who don’t. I might take a notion to vote for a tax on those who want to be bachelors—those who have had plenty of chances to escape bachelorhood and wouldn’t take advantage of them—but the poor fellow who tries his infernalest to get a woman and can’t—for him I have no feeling but pity. You can blame the men for being bache­ lors all you please, but .in most cases they are not to blame, The women are getting so doggon inde -pendent these days that a fellow haB got to fish with mighty tempt­ ing bait it he catches one. Let a man fall head over heels in love; let hem write spring poetry and love letters; let him lose four nights a week sitting up with the dear thing; let him be just as big a fool as the average love-sick fool ever gets to be; and then let the dear thing trot off and marry some otherpair of breeches. Do you think the fellow who got left ought to be taxed? I don’t. Of course it might have been the best thing that ever happened to him, but you couldn’t make him see it that way to save your life. The poor fellow has built dream castles; he has imagined for himself all the happiness that his heart could hold; and then he has seen the dream go all to smash, like a rose­ bud when a cow steps on it. The "cottage for two” dwindles down to a bachelor’s bedroom with no fire-placj and not half enough cover. He has to sew on his own buttons and darn his own socks, and if he "darns” a few other things in the time of it, we know very well there’s a reason. . At least half the bachelors would rather be husbands, but they can't—the poor fellows don’t bare any chance. They somehow. miss the combination to the matrimonial game. They can’t get the kind of women they want, and the - kind they conld get the devil wouldn't have. And so they have to back up into the shalves of bachelorhood and singlefood it down the path of life to the tune of "W hat Is Home Without a Petticoat A-Hangin’ On a Nail?” . Tax the bachelors! Nit. Tax the pumpkin because it ain’t a watermelon. Tax a blind man be­ cause he can’t see. But for the Lord’s sake don’t put any more bnr dens on the bachelor. He is mise­ rable enough as it is. P, S.—I am not a bachelor. they must have—by dishonest methods, and in this respect they are not different from the idle rich, moBt of whom have gotton the wealth which enables them to live in idleness by methods that will not bear the light of investigation. These very rich people may appear to be honest bat either they, them­ selves, their fathers or their grand­ fathers robbed somebody in order to acquire their great wealth. No man can, in a lifetime, become a multimillionaire. Only by a pro­ cess of robbery can men acquire such colossal fortunes. Work is the law of physical universe, and the same is true of the moral and spiritual. Stagnation, decay, death and destruction are the fearful con­ sequences of inactivity. Chaos would take the place of order and harmonious action but for activity. The inactivity of the very rich will result in physical, intellectual and moral deterioration while these luxurious IiviDg in idleness will gradually tend to make honest labor unpopular. The most favor­ ed man is he who feels it is neces­ sary for him to labor—who has some one whom he must work for. We pity rather than envy a man npon whom the burden of responsi­ bility does not rest, and who pre­ fers idleness to honest toil. From such will not spring the great men and women of the future. Plain Truth. Elkin Times. The tendency to idleness on the part of our very rich people men-* aces our conntry both socially and politically. It is stated by a statis­ tician, who has devoted much time and study to this subject,- that less than 39 per cent of our people haVh any gainful occupation. It is presumed that those who are un­ employed include the poor who are idle a3 well as the rich who are idle. Many of the poor caunot get employment while many do not want employment and would not have it if xhey could get it. They prefer to live in idleness ,.and will . do so as long as-they can. Most o£ Swapping Preachers With John Bull. TheFoolKiller. Lordy1 lordy, lordy! What funny old world! And the strange things that do happen! The latest news in high-up church circles is to the effect that Dr, Clarence Dix on, pastor of the Moody church in Chicago, has heard the jingle of British dollars and persuaded him self that he has received a "divine call’, to London. He is going over there to shuffle around in old man Spurgeon’s shoes at so much per shuffle. And when Clarence brings that North Carolina fist of his down on Spurgeon’s old Bible a few whacks there will be someth’ngdo ing in London town. I have been sorter proud of Clar­ ence Dixon. About the worst thing I know against him is the fact that he is a brother to the unspeakable Tom, who quit preaching because he could make more money writing copperhead novels. The Dixons were born and raised here in North Carolina, and they had a good old Southern daddy, But the boys grew up, went north blossomed into fame, and Torn sold himself to the devil on the install­ ment plan. Clarenceisrecognized as the biggest preacher in Ameri­ ca. He wears his fame parted in the middle, and don’t read Tom’s novels. But hark! The London saints shook their money-bag so loud that Clarence heard it clean across the Palantic ocean, and thinking it was a "divine call,” he hit the' rolling billows like a hired man going to dinner. ^ But just as Dr. Dixou sails out we see the high silk hat of Dr, Jowett as he comes sailing in. we send America’s biggest preacher to England and bring England’s biggest preacher to America. Just swapping Biblebeaters with John Bull, I hope John has not cheated us. And now the great divines will have to go to work and get ac­ quainted in their new fields of la­ bor—have to learn all the holes where the devil hides before they can twist him out. Goodby, Dixon. Howdy, Jowett. Home, Sweet Home. Home! What a hallowed name! How full of enchantment and how dear to the heart! Home is the ma­ gic circle within which the weariest spirit finds refuge. The word home touches every fibre of the soul. Ask the lonely wanderer who plods a- Iong his way, bent with the weight of age and white with the frost of years. "W hat is home?” .Hewill say it is a green spot in memory, a center about which the fondest re­ collections of his grief-oppressed hear t cling with all the tenderness of youth’s first love. Homehas an influence which is stronger than death. It is law to our hearts and binds us with a spell which neither time nor change can break. Nor Merely friends and kindred render that home so dear, but the very hills and streams throw a charm a- round the place of one’s nativity. It is no wonder that grandest harps are tuned to sing of ‘ ‘Home, Sweet Home.” No songs are Bweeter than those we heard among the boughs that shade our parent’s dwelling, when some evening hour found us gay as the bird that war­ bles o’er us. W e may wander a- way and mingle with the world’s strife, from new associations and fancy we have forgotten the land of our birth; but as we listen, per haps, to those snmmer winds, the remembrances of other days come over the soul and fancy bears back to childhood days and home! We may find climes as beautilul and friends as dear, but they will not UBnrp the place of "Home, Sweet Home”—-Florence More­ house. them get their living— for a livihgl^^g It Startled The World. when the astounding claims were first made for Bucklen’s Arnica Salvebutforty years of wonderful cures have proved them true, and everywhere it is now known the best salve on earth for Bums, Boils, Scalds, Sores, Cuts, Bruises, Sprains, Swel- Jmgsi- Eczeina, Chapped hands, Fever and Piles.

Now is the time the farmers of the state are preparing for the har­ vest time, which means the money they shall realize and upon which their living depends. But what shall it be? To no inconsiderable measure it depends upon what kind of seeds are sown. Often absolute failures are caused by planting poor seed that will not grow or, still worse, s that is badly adulterated With serious weeds, which entirely ruin the land for certain agricultural purposes, of­ ten upon which the farmer most de­ pends. - That there is a great difference in the farm seeds sold in the state is forciDly shown by the difference in the results of the analyses made at the Seed Testing Labratory of the Department of Agriculture, coope rating with the United States De­ partment. For example, the results of the 125 tests of Red Clover seed made this spring by the Seed Labo­ ratory ranged all the way from 50 to 99.6 Pure Seed and from 20 to 97 Germination. Some contained no no weed seeds at all, while others contained more than 90,000 to the pound. Some samples contained more than 50 of - Dodder or Love vine, which is the worst of all pests that occur in Clovers and Alfalfa. Thisgreatdifferencein the quality of seed is not only true in case of Red Clover-but of all the farm seeds. Not only the loss of money paid for the seeds, which is really a small item, but the failure to obtain crops can be prevented by knowing the’va- Iue of the seed which is planted. The Department will make tests of all agricultural and vegetable seeds for any farmer in the state free of charge and reports will be sent to him promptly. In case the seed does not come up to the standard of good seed the lot may be returned to the deal­ er from whom it was purchased and the money refunded or a good qua­ lity of seed given in exchange, which ever'the purchaser desires. In sub­ mitting samples to be tested, for the smaller seeds, such as Red Clover the grasses, one half of a teacup will be sufficient; for the larger seeds, such as the cereals more should be sent.Address all samples to the Seed NO HELP FOR THE POOR. Hickory Times-Mercurv. The last legislature handed the farmers of this State a lemon when they asked for increased appropria­ tions for the public schools of the state. They made increased appro­ priations for the State University and the other state institutions, but when it came to the elementary schools, they told the people that if they wanted a longer term and bet­ ter teachers they would have to go down in their own pockets and pay for it. They did not hesitate to make provision for increased salar­ ies for teachers in the higher insti­ tutions, but the public school teach­ er must labor on for a mere pittance They did not hesitate to provide high salaried positions for the graduates of the A, & M. College and of the Greensboro Normal, but refused to do any tiling for the great masses of our people who never come in con­ tact with these schools. They were anxieus to increase the salary of all Democratic officials in the state, but did not care to spend the people’s money for the educatiou of the far­ mers and poor man’s children. They could provide for a new state house at great expense, but could not give the poor children of the state the sum of $400,000, which- Mr. Spain- hour asked for. They simply blind­ ed the eyes of the farmer by making a big blow about farm-life schools and claiming that they had given several thousand dollars to the nub- lie school fund when, as a matter of fact, they increased the taxes of the people to provide this sum. The people are paying for their own schools in the rural districts while the rich man who can send his child to a state institution was provided for.

Serious Situation With Tennessee Legislators. Nashville Dispatch, 13th. Twenty Republicans and fourteen independent Democratic members of the Tennessee Legislature have gone to Decatur, Ala., for the pur­ pose of blocking further legislation in the matter of an amendment to the State election law passed yes terday. At a meeting this after­ noon, the regular Democrats of the lower house decided to remain in session for the next two years meet­ ing and adjourning from day to day. A representative of the ab­ sent lawmakers issued a statement this afternoon in which it was de­ clared that the missing legislators left the State in order to nullify the election bill passed yesterday, and because they believe the regulars would attempt to repeal the liquor law now on the statue books of the State. Unless the runaways return there, can be do appropriation bills or revenue and assessment measures and the wheels of government will have to cease revolving. There will be no money for schools, or any other agency of government.

People to the north of Charlotte have begun to manifest some in­ terest iu the route which the in- terurban road will take from Char­ lotte to Durham. But very little information has been obtained as to the plans of the company, hut it is certain the road will not go through Davidson comity. The only condition which the company, which was so unmercifully law- suited in the construction ot its power lines, would consider, would be the absolute free granting of a right of way .Thateliminates David- sou county, and the town of Lex­ ington and ThomasvilIe. The sta­ tus of Concord is in the dark but the prospect is that town will be left out. The general impression is fhat the interurban will go from Charlotte to Mooresville, thence to Salisbury, where it will head in a direct line for Mocksville, leaving Davidson county to theeast. Thence it will go to Winston Salem, from there across to High Point, from that place on to Greensboro thence on to Durham.—Oharlotte Chron­ icle. To Enlafge The House. Washington, April 27.—A bill pro­ viding for the enlargement of the national House of Representatives from 391. to 433 members, and the apportionment of these members to the different States on the basis of the population shown by the recent Federal census, passed the House early this evening after vain efforts of members of both parties to amend it in important particulars. Tne proposed size of the House is' identical with that provided for in the Crumpacker bill, passed by the House at the last session of Congress, but not acted upon by the Senate. The Houston bill, passed today, leaves to the Legislatures of the different States the power to rearrange con gressional districts in their respective States on the new population basis of one member for each 211,877 of inhabitants. Election to Be Investigated. Charlotte, April 24.—Charging grand jurors to probe dilligently and accurately into rumors of cor­ ruption in the recent municipal primary, Judge Crawford Biggs sprang a sensation in the Mecklen­ burg superior court this morning, and caused in Charlotte comment upon a subject that has been agi­ tated since April 4, when city of­ ficials were elected. Referring to rumors of whiskey drinking and alleged vote buying upon the day of the primary, Judge1 Biggssaid: “The ieport is accepted as true by the press and the pulpit in your city, aud continued comment is made on it by the press of the entire state, and I charge yon as sworn arms of the law that you in­ vestigate these charges and see if there be any foundation for them iu fact.” Shortly following the primary upon the 4th, of April, when it was said more men were boisterous Iy drunk on the street than before in alinoBt a decade, the Rev. Dr IIulton, pastor of the First Baptist c-hurcb preached at length upon the conditions. Hesaidbyincrease that votes were purchased either with money or with whiskey at the polling precincts. The charge of J udge Biggs to the grand jurors in the court today is the sequel-of the sermon preached by Dr. Hnlten and the subsequent comments made by the press of the entire state.

New York April 21.—The whole Dam family arrived in New York yesterday. The Dams consisted of Jacob Dam his wife, Katheriue Dam, ten Dam children and one Dam broth er. They are going out to Iowa to engage in farming. Among the teu dam children are two sets of twins. Papa Dam is forty-fiveand Main Hia Dam forty-four. The oldest twins HendrickiDam and Peter Dam are seventeen. The other Dam twins Jacob, Jr., and Hillije, are fifteen. Brother Dam, who came in with the Dam family, was christened John J. Ja­ cob Dam, was busily engaged in aorting out the Dam baggage, aid ed by the eldest twins when the cnatom officer approached. Jacob’s other childreu were askiog him questions in perfectly good Holland Dutch at the rate of forty a minute and the head of the Dam familj looked peevish. “ What’s yer name?” asked the customs officers. “Dam,” replied Jacob. “See here.” said the customs of­ ficer. “I’ll not tolerate profanity.” Jaeob explained that his wife and himself and family were good church people and then showed how the joke was on the customs -man. The Dams came from Nieuw Be yerland, Holland, and are going to Pella Iowa.

West Publishing Company’s Docket, a somewhat humorously inclined law publication, says that When yon eat an apple, you' know that yon are eating fruit, and when you partake of cabbage you are certain that you are doing away with a vegetable; but what are you eating when you sink ysur lace in a nice, big, j uicy watermelon? The fact of the matter is that if you confined diet to fruit, and nothing else, you could not indulge in the ravishing of this most luscious pro­ duct of the Southern field, which is at once a joy to the Northern millionaire and at the same time affords full and serene satisfaction to “Unde Sambo” and his brood of pickaninnies—a crop which not only draws a stream of gold from outside markets, but tickles the palates of the native-born as noth­ ing else can. And again, if you believed in a strictly vegetable ex­ istence, you would still be barred from the watermelon patch, be­ cause a watermelon, according to the opinion in Massey against the City of Columbus, is both a fruit and a vegetable. —Charlotte Chron­ icle.

Had yon ever stopped to think that we as a nation are doing our best to teach dishonesty and lying! We lorce people to falisfy their taxable property lietor realize that they are the -■ exceptional George Washington, who cannot tell a lie, and for the heroic deed must pay most of the taxes. Oh yes, the honest, truthful man gets it hard—and the wonder is that there are so many; for he plunkB down his hard earned cash to the County Treasurer for taxes, while he knows full well that his neighbors all aboat him, many times richer than he, get off with a mere bagatelle assessmont. And his disgust can only be imagined as he sits in church, and thinks of the rich man in the pew ahead, sneaking almost wholly out of his public duty towards paying for the privilege of being governed and schooled./ALet me repeat, as a nation we are-trahrfSg ourselves to be dis honest and untruthful, just because we have such a disreputable way of taxing ourselves. You who read this—honest farmer that you are, a deacon in the church too we hope, did you ever shave your tax­ able worth a bit when the assessor came around? Ol course you have, and every other man has (blessed • be the exception,) because the law drives us to it. If every man was absolutely honest and truthful about his taxable property we wouldn’t have to pay much taxes But when even a few in a com munity will swear falsely about their property, it makes it neces' sary for the assessor to violate the law and be blind, or the honest man must suffer for his truthful' ness. It works this was: The person who invests his money in bonds, say, as did the case of an Ohio school teacher who had saved $1,000. (How could she do it!) 8 he, on the advice of the banker, put it into bonds, and when ehe re­ ceived the tax notice of $57 she was astonished to find that she was $ 7 worse off than if she hadn’t tried to make her money earn something against the day of need That’s what comes' of being hon est and truthful, regarding taxable property.. Take the case of a man possess ing $1,000 it South Dakota and owing $5,000. If he tells the truth he is hit for the tax on $1 ,0 0 0 and does hot get an offset : for the $5,000 that he owes. In Ohio, Iowa (Iowa just repealed the.jaw,) and Kentucky, a person is watched by tax inquisitors, tax fettets, or tax agents, as they are variously called, and if he does not cough up his taxes, he may gee held up . by one of the tax pirotes. If a tax ferret is honest—yes if!—he may do no greater harm than to make Bome fellows pay what they other­ w ise would not, but suppose the ferret isn’t honest, he could black­ mail individuals and business con­ cerns to a disgraceful degree, and the community be no better off either. Just as a truthful statement to an assessor mjy ruin a business that is going through a cris’s on nerve, or appearance, or past good ghost of a show before the law, which he pays for, as against the rich man who uses the law, but koesn’t pay much for its support. Ah, there’s something radically wrong in our methods of taxation. So long as we tax movable pro perty, call it personal property as against land property, so long will we be debauching public consei ence, and training our children in lying and dishonesty. There’s a gleam of hope shining .way up in the northwest corner ‘Si the states, and' we will watch with intenie in terest the outcome of the land tax system. Itiscom ingjnstas sure as death and taxes—and may it come on greased lightning if it will relieve us from the awful disgrace now resting upon us for tolerating such an unjust tax system as we have.—Ex. Spring Hat Speculators. repnte, so the tax ferret can also wreck business institutions or pri­ vate reputations or ratings, pur­ posely or not, it does not matter. We all know that the rich almost wholly escape taxation and the poor get it iu the neck good and plenty f o r the simple, reason that the poor are not shrewd enough to. dodge taxes, otherwise they would not be poor. So it is the poor men and women (and here we have taxation withou.t representation) and the honest folks who keep the machin­ ery of government greased, and the wealthy element lean back in their cushions and ride free. On the other band, a poor man hasn’t Law's Lash. Bang! Gloryf Uinepence, ten pen­ ny nails, Mary Ann, hallelujah sweet Caesar up a simmon tree! Ladies spring hats are here. And they are the worst eye busting, double-geared monstroeity that ev­ er had a hole in it. It’s getting so it costs about as much to rig up a lady’s head as it does to start a Na­ tional Bank, I’m glad all over myself because I wasn’t born a girl for if I had my head would have caused me to go bodaciously de­ funct. Ijust wish old. Aunt Eve who started a millinery shop over there in Edeu could wake up and squint her eye on what it takes to top girl off this year. I know it would bring an exclamation point on her face as big as a ham of meat. It must have been awlul sad for Uncle Adain and Aunt Eve to flicker out and miss seeing all the new fashions that have gone galloping by since Satan went a peddling on that fi; gown pattern. A spring hat this year is a worse complicated puzzle than Sally Ann. No ordinary mind can conceive all the things used to construct a lady’s hat but most any fellow can call over all the different things dead easy that it takes to make an up-to-date girl and usual­ ly names part of them twice. I figured it out. as a pretty costly peoposition when I. had to pay six dollars a stack for straw to stuff old Brindle on last winter, but that isn’t a huckleberry in a sugar bar­ rel compared with the prices the milliners charge when they get it wound into wisps and stacked in their mangers. Talk about the soulleBB trusts railroad corporations Standard Oil and old Joe Leiter cornering on all the biscuit truck, but all these are institutions of Christian benevolence compared with charging a poor girl nine dol­ lars for a fist full of straw and a yard of ribbon. - If the country merchant should be found guilty of.selling his goods at one hundred per cent, his customers would im mediately shake a hen tree and pick up a basket of over ripe egg fruit and lorwith anoit the after­ wards of his countenance as he tore a slit in the wind seeking a land that is fairer than this. But the big head-gear sand bagger can fife a squawk or so thru th.e newspapers announcing his spring opening and the girls will just run, fall and tumble over each other like toads after a lightning-bug, trying to get their heads into every hat in the house at once. The clerk chloro­ forms them with a new plume, per­ forms an operation on their purse and relieves it of its last rugged si- moleon and they go pining away rejoicing over their relation with a thing that looks like something the cats had brought in and couldn’t eat. Where The Devil Stock. Monroe Journal. Last week the writer had the privilege of seeing for the first time the famous forty-acre rock. It is situated near Taxahaw, S. C. The fact that is so large, coupled with the traditions that surround it, make it interesting for a stranger to explore it. The rock itself is a coarse gray granite and is used in that country extensively in chim­ ney building.. Of course, there is not forty acreB exposed, but there is one rock containing at least ten acres withont any soil or vegetation whatever on it. Nor is it level. It has the appearance of a vast snow bank, and in places is so steep that it is impossible to ascend it. On this rock is the House Bock, also the Dungeon* which are cavi­ ties in the rock which have never been fully exploded, especially the Dungeon, as it is very dark inside. A good size stream pours over these cavities, making them dif­ ficult to reach. On this rock is what is known as the Devil’s Track, a footprint about twenty-one inchea in height and having the.correct form of shoe. About one-half mile away another track, correspondingis very well with the first except for the other food. Near by is a lake in the creek that until recent years could never be sounded, and old folks contend that when God cast Satan out of heaven he struck where the deep lake now is and walked off on this rock. Through this section on Flat creek is the grandest scenery have seen east of the Blue Bidge. High hills and deep gorges, .thick Iy studded with rocks weighing thousands of tons; in some gorges so thick that they are piled one upon another, forming great cavi­ ties that, have never yet been ex­ plored. .

The Rural Telephone. One of the greatest benefits the country has had in a long time is thg development of the rural tele­ phone service. It is even better than the rural free delivery of the mails. Telephone lines are being built through the country in every direc­ tion. They connect with a central exchange in Bome town, and in this ways they give the people in the country direct communication with the markets, A man may stand in his home on a remote farm and in a few seconds ascertain the paice of his produce-cotton or other things he wants to sell or he may ascertain the price of the things he wants-to buy. He may try several different markets within a few. min­ utes by means of his telephone. The rmal telephone is also a po­ lice protection. Neighbors may warn each other of suspicious char­ acters in the neighborhood, or they may summon help if it is needed. It also makes the family, physi­ cian a next door neighbor to every man who has a phone. The rural telephone is not * great convenience but it is a neces sity. A man on a remote farm needs a telephone more than a man in the city, for the man in the city is surrounded by neighbors on eve­ ry side, and he does not have to walk more than a few blocks in or der'to supply any need or wish that may arise. The rural telephone and the au­ tomobile have annihilated time and distance. They have made farm life more attractive. The result is going to be that fewer people will leave the farms for the cities from now on,, and and there may be an exodns from the cities back to the farms. Farm lands are going to be more valua­ ble, In fact, if a man has a farm to sell 'lle can add very largely to its selling value by installing a phone on it. Anderson, S. C. Mail.

These lines are not intended for a display of knowledge on what Iiie really means, for that is a subject which would call for a good-sized book instead of a short newspaper article. But we do want to say jnsk a few things about brains—not hog brains, but human brains. You can’t always tell what kind of a stock of brains a man carries by looking at hit “sample case,” Some of the ugliest people in the world are the most sensible and the more, sense a person is possessed of, the more that person is compe tent of getting out of life. But the point under discussion is the proper application of the brains we hare. . So many of us sit around and let - the rust hold full sway and never brush the dust out of our “show case” that, if we owned the best stock of tailor-made brains in the world, it would make about the same impression npon the public as a pair of old-time saddle bags as compared with an up-to date drug store. Here’s a lesson for the farmer, the merchant, the banker, the teacher, and men and women of every other occupation. We’ve got the brain. It was given us by - the Creator. It’s a part of us, and the biggest part at that.

Tho greateat Apostle that ever lived, yet he said he was the least of all the Apostles, because he was a persecutor of the christions, oc­ cupied a position as an embassador for the king of kings in behalf of the children of men, until he was finally beheaded by that cruel em peror Nero. The Testament in­ forms us that the Apostle Paul, after he was thrown to the earth by Him who will judge all that have ever lived or will live upon the bosom of the earth upon which we t eside at the lastday of this earth’s existence. That from the day of his conversion, which was caused by the Virgin’s Darling, labored as one of his messengers, or embas sador during the remnent of bis earthly existence, for the good of humanity and that he prefered his position over that of kings and emperors, because he was laboring for that Being who will cause the Apostle to obtain a position with the Gherubims and the celestials and that host of spirits ever prais­ ing and worshiping Him who caused their existence. Yea no greater position can be obtained, than the one which will cause the greatest number of the children of men to prepare themselves to have success in a better world when re­ quired to make their departure. We are living in a world filled with many mysteries and when we take in consideration the uncertainty of life and the certainty of death, con nected with the words that were\ spoken by the Virgin’s lovely Boy that but few are saved. Then and in that event how becoming upon our part, thatwe should prepare ourselves in a becoming manner to meet the righteous Judge of the universe who will stand as it were with one foot upon land and the other upon water and swear that time on earth shall be no more. Yea read the commandments writ­ ten by God himself in the presence of Moms, the commander of . the Israelites at Jhe time when the Israelites were sinning against the Soly-Ghost, by worshiping the mother calf which was made from the ear rings and finger rings, which were borrowed by the •laughters of the Israelites from the laughters of the Egyptians, before • hey left Egypt- and but for the prayer of .Moses they would have been destroyed. You shonld be obedient to the commandments, especialy to the one which tells you o love your neighbor as yourself, and that your prayers should as­ cend to him, whose existence had no beginning, for many favors con- fered upon you, J.

NORTH CAROLINA. WEDNESDAY. MAY 24, 1911 NUMBER 46 Conditions in the South. Washington, D. O., May 10.— President W. W. Finley, of the !Sonthern Railway Company, who has recently returned from an in­ spection trip on which he was ac- accompanied by members of the Board of Directors, in speaking to­ day of business conditions in the Bontheastern States, said: ._'‘£Eke agricultural outlook throughout the entire Southeastern section seems to be very favorable. Whileiu some localities in the Southwestern part of the territory rains have somewhat retarded cot­ ton planting, and while re-planting will be necessary in some small a- reas, it will have to be done to a very much smaller extent than was necessary last year. Notwithstand­ ing the increased attention being given by Southern farmers to corn and ether crops, the aggregate ac­ reage devoted to cotton will be somewhat greater this year than last. The average preparation of the soil for planting this year haB .been unusually good. Farmers are UBing fertilizers more scientifically and better' farming is being prac­ ticed very generally throughout the South, which may be expected to result in an increase in the ave­ rage yield per acre. As a result Oftheir prosperous season in 1910, Southern Farmers, to a larger ex­ tent than usual, are able to finance this year’s operations themselveB without the assistance of local mer­ chants, and banks, “Conditions in the cotton manu­ facturing industry are not wholly favorable, but, as the season pro­ gresses, more definite ideas as to the size of the year’s cotton crop Sbould bringabouta more favor­ able relative adjustment of the prices of the raw material and the finished products of the mills. The lumber business is Btill feeling the effects of restricted purchases on the part of the railways, but a slight improvement is noticeable in some of the .lumber producing localities. The condition of the iron and steel industry in the South is substantially the same as in the other parts of the country. With, underlying financial and agricultu­ ral conditions favorable and with a fair business in some industrial lines and tome prospect for im­ provement in other lines, there is a reasonable basis for the expecjia- tion of an active business as the season progresses, “The management of the Sou­ thern Railway Company is not un­ mindful of the requirements placed upon it by the increasing volume of traffic throughout its territory. It is, therefore, continuing its po­ licy of improving its facilities for the development of business and for the movement of traffic. It has recently taken steps to add substan­ tially to its motive power for pas- sengar and freight trains to its pas- sengar train equipment. Its car­ rying capacity is comfortably ahead of its present requirements. -Look­ ing forward to the progressive de- ■ velopment of its territory, the car­ rying capacity of thoBe parts of its lines where the traffc is not suffi­ ciently heavy to require double tracking is being increased by the construction of a modern system of lap-sidiugs and these lap-sidings are being so constructed that, if business shall become sufficiestly heavy for double-track lines, they can be used in a double track sys­ tem. In all of these matters the Company is being governed by practical, and not academic, con siderations, and, in pursuance of this policy, the management now contemplates increasing its main­ line double-trackage at a point where the volume of traffic is hea­ vy, and expects to be able to keep fully abreast of traffic requirements without going beyond or straining itB present financial resources.” a bill is dne it should be paid, or if the party who has been indulged cannot do so, he should see the merchant himself and have his ac­ count extended and net wait until, he sends a man around at extra ex­ pense. Did it ever occur to the average man who runs an account that it is the cash payer that en­ ables the merchant to continue in business? With the cash he takes in he meets his bills, pays his pas tor, the teacher who instructs his children, and every other thing where ready cash is required. The account may be good but it will not pay any of the merchants’ bills. The writer once collected for a business concern. Several of its creditors were building homes for themselves and put off settling their accounts from time to time. They said the bill is good; we are building now as soon as we are through the accounts will be set­ tled in full. They were after a year or more, but what about the con­ cern? The proprietor was trying to build, a home before the accounts were paid he had failed and with it went all bis credit and hundreds of other accounts that were never settled. The men who bnilt homes, while they allowed the concern they owed to fail, were partly cri­ minal—not to make the case stron­ ger. Remember, the man who pays cash is the man who is pushing for­ ward the wheels of progress’—Sal­ isbury Post, The Cash Payer. Jpust at this time,, it is weil to dismiss the question paying ac­ counts. A merchant in the1 city was short a salesman in , his store Monday. He stated that the than Was out collecting, that it took from three to five days to catch his ere ditors and then only a few of them paid. The experience of this mer .chant is the experience of all of thenii. and of every man in busicess where credit is allowed. This does not speak well for the honesty and integrity of the people, for when Whiskers vs Bald Head. Charlotte Observer. The National PreBs Club of Wash­ ington City will contribute the chief event of today. This event consists of a debote upon the ques­ tion: “Resolved, That whiskers are a greater detriment to a man than a bald head.” Two bald-headed men will sup­ port the affirmative while two whiskered men will argue on the other side. Hon, OUie James oi Kentucky and Hon. Nicholas Longworth of Ohio will dilate upon the tremendous handicap of a bald head, and each will speak from ex­ perience. Hon. John Whiskers Kern of Indianaand Hon, Josephus Qaudulupus Cannon of Illinois will describe actual experiences— .the one how he lost the vice presi­ dency and the other how he forfeit­ ed speakership, because bis friends cohldn’t recognize him tbrough.his whiskers. The referee in this debate is Col. Scott C. Bone, editor or the Wash­ ington Herald, Colonel Bone has both handicaps. Longworth and James have a lew straggling hairs on their respective heads but Bone's head is as bald and rusty as the national bird’s. Cannon has a short Stiff bunch of whiskers something like a worn-out broom or quills up­ on the fretiul porcupine; while Kern has a straggling set of scat­ tering, silky whiskers. But Scott Bone rejoices in a fine, long set of flowing whiskers as much superior to those of Kern or Cannon as his bald head surpasses Longworth’s or James’ in pleatitude of perfec­ tion. We can foresee Bone’s undoing by the responsibilities of the ref- ereeship. The only question is how many days he will think it neces­ sary to hide out after the event has passed. -literature and Hogs. OurHome The rate for hauling hogs, and sample hogs, from Chicago toPhil- adelphia is 13.60 per ton in large or small quantities, one hog deep and the hogs have to be fed aud watgred on the way, the sick ones doctored and the dead ones thrown out. The hogs are weighed in bulk. The distance is a- little over 800 miles. The rate publishers pay for sec­ ond class matter—sample copies of newspapers and serial books—is $ 2 0 per ton (average postal haul being a little over 800 miles), aud the mail bags do not have to be fed or watered, none get sick or die on the way, and may be piled two or three deep. It is proposed by the Loud Bill to increase the rate of the latter class to $80 per ton, over fourteen times as much as hogs, and sample gs, pay, each individual piece and fraction of a piece to be stamp­ ed, and nothing at all is said in the bill about increasing the rate on hogs, or sample hogs, nor of requi­ ring each hog, or fraction of a hog or sample hog to be stamped, and there is no difference in the rate between hogs and sample hogs. Why this partiality for hogs? Why this discrimination against Literature? Is it fair, is it right? Upon what glorious principle of honor and patriotism can it be jus­ tified? None whatever—it iB all wrong. The next step will be to givdhogs free passes to go and come anywhere and everywhere, while books and newspapers will not be allowed to travel a t ; all. This is class legislation, pure and simple, and therefore inimicable to 'the Declaration of Independence, and antagonistic to the Constitution of the United States. It certainly is. Seriously, gentlemen, let it not be said of us that we enter the 20.th century as a people who show favors to swine, whatever the breed, but that we love Literature better than Hogs. Very truly, Wilmer Atkinson. $300,000 In Gold Goes Beggihg.- Washington, April 30.—Stacked in one of the corners of the steel ribbed vaults of the United States treasury $800,000 in gold coin is going begging. The government cannot give it away; yet none of the rightful owners can be induced to take it. It represents unclaim­ ed interest in the public debt. Somewhere in nooks and crannies and out-of-the-way places are the government’s interest checks- for. the money, which never have been cashed.. Some of them never will be presented others maybe brought around in time and some are being held by cautious investors. From time to timej the treasury attempts to call in the cheeks and. the vagaries of human nature are- shown. Our citizens has more than $60,000 waiting for him and holds the checks for it. -He was recently iuvited to cash in and made a trip to Washington to tell treasury officials the checks were his property; he would cash them when he pleased, or burn them if he wished. If he does the latter his money will be held in the vaults until congress, perhaps, might dis­ pose of it The treasury can do nothing but keep it. The contractor who laid the first pavement upon Pennsylvania ave­ nue from the capitol to the white house has $2 1 ,0 0 0 waiting for him; it has been there many years but the treasury has never been able to find the rightful payee, as the contractor failed and his affairs be­ came involved in litigation; which never has been settled. The amounts of this seemingly ownerless fund range from thous­ ands down to a few cents. The smaller amounts are all held for those who owned government se­ curities at some time and probably have forgotton to collect their latest interest. Entertainments Whefe persons are Paid liable to Tax. Greensboro Record. The last Legislature did one mighty good thing, Years ago any kind of a show fake or otherwise, could come along, make a dicker with some so-called charity organi zation and give a show without paying any tax. Four years ago the Legislature passed an act cut ting tbis kind of business out, but it was not dear and the last Legis­ lature amended it or made it plain that in every case where any one receives the least pay a license tax must be paid. The Attorney Qene ral of the State was called on and has given an opinion that puts a quietus on the business. Charity can give all the entertainments it pleases, but no one must be paid' for doing its word. Like college baseball, it is a case where profes sionals are barred. That Hen.

Raleigh, April 28,—Secretary Ellis Carr, of the state department of agriculture, has received a re­ markable letter of inquiry from one Mr. Carl Heinrich Yogel, now at Newark, N. J., and desirous of procuring a farm in the Wilkes county Bectioaof the State. The letter read like this: “Dear Sir- I like to buy a WilkeB farm, can I slay down some of the wood and sue for the field, or is there the legislature, that the forest must be forest foreverlike at Germany.. There muBt be 1-5 of the farm for­ est. One agent wrote to me we must use the regular lawful farm in effect in this state. What means that? Is there another law con cerning purchase, than in other states? I mean if I buy that grou nd recorded by the court be I then not the real owner because I be still a stranger? Have I to live some years in that state before I be the . real owner? Is there any special law or legislature at North Carolina?

"• Since our last correspondence to The Record there has been a considerable a- mount of sickness in-this section. ’ Mrs. Fesperman has been at the point of death with child-bed fever and blood- poison. but we understand is now conval­ escing. The wife of Mr. J. D. A. Fisher Esq is now at the point of death, but was living about an hour ago. Mrs. L. D. H. Brown and Mrs. Rev R. L. Brown have both been real sick but are up now again. The widow Hoffner is buried at Faith to day. ,, Night before last a white lady of Gran­ ite Quarry gave birth' to three children While theywere all fairly developed. the last one died this mornind. They are all three to be buried in one grave. . Some two weeks ago Rev. R. L. Brown performed a ceremony between Mr. My­ ron C. M. Fishe and Miss Cora. Misenhei- mer that made them man and wife. This ceremony was accompanied with a yellow . coin’that contained a “V”. A week later :he was called upon to perform a similar : Ceremony but as the nice IajJjj was sick, he made a water-haul this time. But as Mr. Brown always does fancy .work of this ' kind he may strike another streak of good luck. The cotton seeds are coming up nicely this hot weather, but will need more rain soon. The farmers, are well up with their work.-' Mr. and Mrs. R. L. Brown' have talked much of making a" surprise appearance at the birth-day dinner at Mr. J. J. Slarrette’s Saturday.

Iredellcounty didherself prond When she voted authority for #400 OOO in bonds for road building. It is all the more commendable that the majority was decidedly .in fav­ or of the measure. Out of a regis­ tration of 4,072 there were 2,607 ballots cast for bonds. The rneas urc was carried by handsome ma­ jorities in eleven townships in the county while five townships voted small majorities against the propos­ ed issue. The only regret that we can see in the whole matter is that there should have been a single vote cast against the proposed im­ provements. This $400,000 should give Iredell county the best system of roads in North Carolina. So Iar as we know this is the largest sin­ gle bond issue ever authorized for road building and the action should inspire Rowan, Davidson, Davie, Cabarrus and other counties in the state to go and do likewise.—SpeU- eer Crescent.

That a man never hits higher Uian he aims—that he is never lar­ ger than his ideas-—is too true to need repeating, but there are dif­ ferent kinds of big ideas. Or, at least, there are different kinds, ol ideas that some folks call big ones. Some think it takes a brave man to fight, while others hold to the idea . -Uiat it takes a brave man not to fight when insulted. This writer is a little inclined to cast his opini­ on with the latter class. Of course there are instances when it might show cowardice and lack of man hood for a tellow to ,.-allow certain kinds of insults/to be hurled at him without “scrapping” a little. But p rule/ there is mighty little real e for fighting. If fightiDg is a trait of manhood and bravery then if yon want to see some of the bra­ vest and most manly performances that have ever been pulled off, just get a couple of full grown bulldogs t igether fn I stir up their “man hood” a little, or tie two thomae cats’ tails together and throw them across a pole.

Some of them will take and make use of a pa­ per for several years without, ever paying a cent for it, but when a bill is presented they suddenly conclude that they didn't subscribe for the pa­ per, it didn’t come more than half the time, and all sorts of “lame” ex­ cuses in order to get out. of having to pay for it: A debt for a subscrip­ tion to a newspaper is just as legiti­ mate as one that you owe to your butcher or grocer. It costs money to print and send out even a small weekly newspaper and 'peopie who receive and make, use of the same should feel in duty and honor bound to pay for same without any . “quib­ bling.” We have had occasion- to place some accounts with a collection agency recently that parties; owing same paid no attention to bills or statements sent out by the puhlislier but my, what a “howl” they raise' now and excuses they offer. ^-Morris­ town Sun.

Final­ ly we tried Dr. King's New Discovery and are pleased to say that one. bottle effected a complete cure, and our child is again strong and healthy.” For coughs,’ colds, hoarseness, lagrippe. asthma, croup and sore lungs, its the most infallible remedy that’s made.

The assessor will soon be abroad in the laud, and on and alter last Monday there will be. a Wounder■ shrinkage in the value of property in this state. What a wonderful d fference in the value of any prop­ erty when the owner is trying to sell it and when he is listing.it for taxation. A good joke illustrative of this, is told on one of out coun­ trymen, who is of a decidedly econ imieal turn of mind.. An acquain­ tance met him recently and pre iendtd that he wanted to buy his farm and inquired, his lowest cash price. The owner told hint that be would not sell for less than $30 an acre and that it was worth much more. They argued the matter for awhile, and finally when the owner would uot reduce his valuation his friend told him that he Was employ­ ed by the assessor of the township to go around and ascertain the val­ ue of the land I This announcement nearly took away the breath of the owner, and he began at once to a- bnse the democratic party for pass­ ing a law allowing the assessor to ^o to a man’s home and find out what he owned! This land is now vatoed on the tax lists at only $5 in acre —Chatham Record. Uncle Josh Is Dea l.

Mr. Don Laws last week turned bis telescope on the sun to discov­ er why spring has been so backward in coming forward. He found the cause in four large black spots on the sun, which are holding back the warm rays which put life and' warmpjh into the old earth. One of the spots look as large as the planet Jupiter, Here is the plain unadulterated truth, told in .an editorial in the Washington Star: “A man who has bought the votes which elected him would naturally have few scruples about selling his own" vote. The millions of unbribable voters in the United States can and must see to it that their will prevails in all elections that bribery when committed shall be detected and punished, and that they choose to represent the people in the local, state and national offices men who will not bribe, nor be brib­ ed, nor condone on personal or par- tlsian consideration bribery in the interest of others.” I i * ■ For only a short time you ‘ " j can secure The DavieRecord ' = and The Progressive Farmer and Gazette both one year ja for only 75 cents.

Horton discovered an apple tree some days ago, on the Newton Gentry farm in Traphill township, which they be lieve to be the largest apple tree in the world. The tree, at its base is 16 feet and 5 inches in circum ference. Eight feet above the ground, at the first liinbs, the tree is 12 feet and 5 inches in -circum­ ference. This would make it, at the base, something over five feet in diameter. A t one time the limbs extended for 30 feet on all sides, bnt a heavy sleet broke them off some years ago, and now it has a growth of new and vigorous limbs Rpecnlation can only guess at the age of the tree, though it is known to be more than IOO years old. The tree bears, almost every year, a large crop of splendidly flavored, good, keeping apples. A single crop has frequently, been estimated at near fifty bushels.

During the last seven years whenever the people of Derby, or its twin jewel in the crown of Con­ necticut, Ansonia, have had occa­ sion to speak of Thomas Mulcahy they have used the past tense, for the general impression was that while in Alaska he and one of the snowslides indegenous to that f rap pe territory had been in collision with fatal results to Mr. Mulcahy. Bat he came back. Nobody knew he was coming back because everybody thought he was dead. Daniel Moffat had said so, and Frank Enight bad said so. They had gone to Alaska twelve years ago with Mnlcahy as the third member of a gold seeking expedition, and although it was one of those one-for all and all-for- one aggregations they had accident­ ly become separated from him in the frozen North. Twelveyearsago Moffat returned, bringing news that Mulcahy had been lost. Seven years ago cumulative evidence, on­ ly more so, arrived with Knight ' who Baid he had heard that the Tyear heleftAlaska Mulcahy had matched himself against a Bnow- Blide and lost. Then everybody who had known Mulcahy began to remember the . good things he had done, and to -• predict, as is always done in these -!cases, that be would have had a scintilating future had he only tak­ en the precaution to keep on living. Among those wjio stirred by the news oi the incident of the snow- slide was Mulcahy’s brother, Rich­ ard, who erected a monument in memory of the virtues of Thomas. This monument was one of the pointB of interest in Derby that waB Iii st pointed out to Thomas Mulca- by when he arrived. Enowing that his brother had ; returned to Derby, but unaware that lie himself was supposed" to • have died, Thomas Mulcahy drop- . ped off a New Havien train today : eager for a family reunion and home cookery. He was not recognized— twelve years being bound to exert : some influence over any. counten­ ance. He told several persons that' be was Thomas Mulcahy, but the Con- necticut mind, ever conservative, > refused to give credience to his as­ sertion. “ Tom Mulcahy,” they told him “died in Alaska, cut down by ■ a snowslide on the threshold of a wonderful career. Come out and look at his monument.’' “ Having nothing else to do at the moment, I'll go with you,said the man who had come home: for an old home-week celebration, and knew in his heart he wasnotdead. So they took him out and dis­ played the monument'. He walked slowly around it read ing the inscription aloud. “Tasty” he said, “ very tasty We might as well keep it. It will come in handy some time.” His guides thought he was rav~ ing and would probably be thinking so yet if Daniel MofiSt and Frank Enight had not come along. He knew them at once and after a short series “Do you remember thist” and “do you remember that?” they admitted that the hear say evidence concerning the snow- slide had to fade in the presence of .....Jir^MnteBhy himself. Then there was a real reunion. The monument will stay where it is—nothing in Connecticut ever being wasted.—Derby, Conn. dife patch to’N. Y. Herald. n Tax The tax assessors are abroad in the land under the provisions ot the new laws of the recent Legisla- ,. tare and they are causing quite a I:- deal of discussion in many quarters. Some of these assessors are adher- ing strictly to the letter of the law, ■ in the valuation they are placing oh property and in some instances are said to value it really higher than it could possibly be sold for. It is a difficult matter to say just what a certain piece of real estate or personal property would bring, if offered at public sale aud to fix correct valuation to the taxables of a community, requires the very best of judgement and discrimination not to work a hardship on some taxpayer. The present rate of va­ luation, fixed by some of the asses­ sors, if it be kept up and is permit­ ted to stand, will show a wonderful increase of the taxable property in this county. Beal estate has here­ tofore been taxed at about on? third its actual value and personal property in about the same ratio, but some of the men now in the field acting under instructions from the county attorney, are listing it at its true or highest value. As the rate for the State has been fix­ ed by the Legislature and cannot be changed, the taxes will be very burdensome, if these values stand. The state tax was increased by the la|t Legislature from 39' cents to 45 cents on the $100 valuation of property and then add to this the increase of assessed value 2 00 per cent and it is evident that the tax will be a burden. Takefor in­ stance a man who has heretofore had $1 ,0 0 0 worth of property and has paid thereon far state purpos­ es $3.90 under the new order ; of things he would pay for state pur­ poses $13 50. As far as the county and towns are concerned, the rates can be lowered, if the commission­ ers see fit to do so and the actual amount of tax to be paid remain the same as-heretofore, but in the matter of state tax, there is no re lief. The prime object of (he new law, as we understand it, was to equalize taxes and not especially to increase valuations, but some of the assessors think different and are acting accordingly. At pre­ sent the matter is creating a great deal of discussion and it looks now like there will be some pretty seri ons complications, and perhaps much dissatisfaction before it is properly adjusted.—Lenoir News. With Our Baptist Friends. Greater in number than the Bri­ tish Farliment or the Congress of the United States, the Southern Baptist Convention met at Jackson­ ville, Fla.. May 17th, with dele­ gates present from every State in the South. The convention is made up of messengers or delegates from chur­ ches, associations State conventions missionary societies and Sunday Schools. All Baptist churches are independent. The convention has no authority to bind the churches in its territory. Its action is ad­ visory, not compulsory. Ministers and laymen are admitted into the convention on the same basis with­ out any official distinction between clergy and laymen. According to the best available figures., there are about 6,280,646 Baptists. Of this number 4,110,873 are in the South, 2,218,911. of the Southern Baptists are white, 1,891- 902 colored, In the Northern States there are 1,190,293 Baptists. There are 22,438 churches connected with the Southern Baptist Convention They make up the largest religious denomination in the South. Bap tists are Baid to have 39.5 per cent of the church membership of the Soutb, the Methodist 26.5 per cent Catholics 15 9 per cent, Disciples 5.2 per cent, Presbyterians 4.9 per cent, Episcopalians 1.7 per cent and all others 5.9 per cent, v The churches connected with this convention raised last year for car rying on their work $9,474,777. Of this sum $1,336,519 was given for missions. The church property of the Southern Baptist convention is valued at $37,203,522.—Ex. , Now is the time to get rid of your rheu­ matism. You will find Chamberlain’S Lin­ iment wonderfully effective. One applica­ tion will convince you of its merits. Try it For sale by all Dealers. Democrats Flying the Coop. Webb, Gudger, and Doughton will not vote with their fellow de mocrats of the house on the Cana­ dian reciprocity measure. Webb fears it would hurt the pulp wood business in his district. Gudger probably has the same reason, while doughton may think it would hurt the cattle business of his dis­ trict. There are many more people in these districts though that would be benefitted-by the bill as a whole than there are who will loose by some particular item in it. Webb we believe, admits this, but says he promised the pulp wood people in his campaign that he would stand by them. What be and the others are going to do for the rest of the people in their district and in the country at large is not stated. It is a pity, however, that we can’t get men in congress big enough to vote for measures that are good for the country as a whole, no matter it it does hurt one or two special in terests in their respective districts. Webb promises to stand by the palp wood people, the print paper trust by the, way, and one of the most exacting aud thieving of them all, in return for their support and the rest of the people iii the dis­ trict and the country at large, who didn’t exact apy promises may go hang. The democratic party de­ cries against trusts and monopolies and Webb and the rest of them shout themselv.es hoarse in behalf oi the platform, ^and yet at the first opportunity of getting some relief from one of these trusts they turn over in'face of the party plat­ form and in spite of the party cau­ cus and vote with and for the trusts. Mr. Simmons, likewise though he is not so candid as Mr. Webb, will vote against reciprocity because a half dozen big lumber interests in the eastern part of state arc against it. It is true the bill may hurt these people to some ex­ tent but it would benefit thousands to every one it would injure. But these special interests must be pro­ tected, no matter how, much ' the people may suffer in protecting them. We believe these men make a mistake when they stand by these few special;interests and against, the interests of the people as a whole. We hope the democrats, when they come. to make a tariff bill will get abovie that sort ot thing. If they do not their tariff-bill will be not one whit better than a re­ publican tariff. It is probably true that no general tariff law can be passed that will not have in it some provision that will hait some interest in some section of the coun­ try. But it will have in it some section that will benefit that and every other section, and any tariff law should be looked at from the standpoint of the country at large. To attempt any tariff revision from other standpoint will be to go at it in the logrolling fashion of the re p ublicans and in the final result to end just as -disastrously as have the republicans. — C, C. News, (Dem.) Editor’s Good Advice. Editor Joe Eobinson1 of the Dur­ ham (N. C.) Sun is an optimist. Through the columns disseminat­ ing cheer and good will and occa­ sionally he hands out little bits of advice that everybody would do well to follow. For instance, the following excellent rules of conduct were given in his editorial column not long ago: Encourage the merchant. If be has a superior lineofgoods tell him so. Encourage the editors of the newspaper in jour town. The pa-, per that has always done every­ thing In its power to build up the place and its people. Be affable to everyone. Don’t wait until you have an axe to grind before you are nice to people. Encourage the mechanics. If one has completed a job well, be sure to tell him that it is splendidly do&e. . . fv Eucoiirage the farmers. There :s no class of people in" this country who want your sympathy just now more than the farmers. Encourage the doctors. You al­ ways praise the physician when be brings you up from an awful crisis of disease, but do you ever compli­ ment the physician when, through his skillful treatment of incipient cases, he keeps you from sinking down to death? Enconrage the lawyers. Encourage the teachers in our public schools,- Go to them and tell them that they are doing a good work. Encourage all the invalids tell­ ing them how many you have known with the same ailments, to get well. Encourage all starting in life by yourself becoming reminiscent* To sum up the matter, live a.nd let' live. Help those around you, and thus make your oWn lives hap­ pier thereby. ToThe People Of North Gaiolinal I have the names and addresses of many who have gone west in past years from your section and am sending them such literature as will influence them to come “back home” , but there are many others whose namas I do not have. I ask you, therefore, to sit down right now and send them to me. It is greatly to your own interest that we have more people in the South, and you can easily help the cause by sending me the uame and ad­ dress of every one who is in the west and northwest and whom you wish to see “ back home.” We can settle fhis problem of idle land in the South if we want to bad enough. Let us get our absent friends either to come “back home,” or to send us other good people. But by all means let us at least invite them to eome “ back home” and give them good solid reasons why they should. Sincerely yours, : W. D. ROBERTS, Sec,, “Back Home” Association. - JohsohCity1Tenn.

We have always agreed to this sentiment. We have always believed in the majority rule. The farmer being in the majority, cer­ tainly should have a majority of officeholders and law makers. There is however, an obstacle in the way. This obstacle can bere ­ moved by the farmers themselvep. It cannot be removed any 'other way. Fot many years the Farmere Union News .has been preaching methods for removing this difficulty The Farmers’ Union has emphasiz- ed the importance of its removal in every convention. _ The difficulty is that the faratr has neglected to cultivate his brain, so long neglected to do his own thinking, until he is unable to cope with the rest of the world. Farmers will go to Congress when they learn to discern between the sincere and insincere, when they have learned to stand together where their business interests is in volved, when they learn not to put forward one of their own number for no other reason than that he is a good talker, and always gets on the front seat at public meetings.— Farmers Union News.

Mocksville is a good town—a bet­ ter town than many people believe her to be. She has a great future in store-for her. In the past ten years her population has increased about forty per cent. The citizen­ ship of the town is above the aver­ age, the climate is good, and the water is pure. No healthier town can be found in this whole section. The town has a population of about 1,100, with 24 stores, comprising a number of groceries, dry goods, two hardware stores, one drug store,- a jewelry shop, one millinery store, a grain and feed store, one fancy gro­ cery, one meat market, a fancy gro­ cery, one harness shop, a wholesale grocery, two restaurants, two board­ ing houses, two hotels, two livery stables, two newspapers.-a furniture factory, a chair factory, a veneering mill, two lumberplants, a cotton gin, a flour mill, a shoe shop, a tin shop, a brick plant, a $40,000 court house and jail, a good strbng bank, a tele phone exchange, a beautiful Mason­ ic temple costing about $10,000, foul churches, three blacksmith shops, a new graded school building cost­ ing over $7,000, and many beautiful and palatial homes, beautiful shade trees handsome men and lovely wo­ men. Our town is blessed with but three doctors, all good ones, and two dentists who know how to do good work. Of lawyers we have 5 or 6 , but like editors, they seldom receive any thanks for anything they may say or do. Among the new enter­ prises that are to be built this year is a new flour mill and cotton gin, and a number of new residences. Itis thought that a new Baptist church will be'erected this year. We forgot to mention that we have real estate company and an under­ taking shop, one cemetery that is but seldom used, we are glad to say. Just north of Moeksviile is old Jop­ pa graveyard, where rest the re­ mains of Squire Boone and wife, Sa­ rah Booiie, the parents of the great ' hunter and trapper, Daniel Boone, who died in the eighteenth century Thie old court house and jail, built about 75 years agq, are stiil stand­ ing, and are, apparently as substan­ tial as when first built. Many things could be said complimentary to our town and county, but space will not permit at this time. The^stranger who is looking for a home would do well to visit Mocksville before locat­ ing, whether he be rich or poor, a laborer or a capitalist. We need -more good people—men who are not ,afraid to come and help us boost the . town. A hearty welcome awaits all who care to come and cast their lot With us. The door is always open, but should you find it not wide e- nough to enter, the latchstring hangs on the outside and is anxious to be pulled. Watch Mocksville expand. the A. & E. T. car line, reaching M eaverville a little before six. The scenery on the way is very pretty. Arriving at Weaverville, we went over to look through the Methodist college and grounds. The college building is situated in a beautiful grove on a high knowl, and is surrounded by the homes of the teachers and the dormitories. Professor Dean is the President of Weaverville College, and he is as­ sisted in his work by an able corps of teachers, some of. whom we had the pleasure of meeting. There is no better school in Western North Carolina for the young ladies and ycung men than Weaverville Col­ lege. Tbe school is run by Chris­ tian men and women, and the loca­ tion is tdcal—being far removed liom the city’s maddening noise and temptations, with a delightful climate, pure mountain water, good roads, low living expenses, and better than all these combined— good people to mingle with. We attended the closing exercises of tlie college Tuesday evening, which was a grand concert. About twen­ ty numbers were on the program all of which were well rendered and reflect credit on the teachers as well as the students. The mu sic by two of the wee little girls de Scrvej special mention, and we are sorry that we cannot recall their names. We were glad to meet ,a number of the yonng men from our section who are in school there. Several from Davie county are moug the students, and they are progressing nicely, two of them studying for the ministry, The town of Weaverville has a good note!, two livery stables, a number of stores, two Methodist churches and a number of beautiful homes, with a population in 1910 of 442, exclusive of the student body. The people of that town sleep under three or four covers, while we sin­ ners down here swelter under a thin strip of cheese cloth or mos quilo netting. The people of that section are full of kindness and hospitality, and we shall not soon forget ohr visit there. To Profess­ or Hunter, we wish to extend our thanks for the kindness shown us during our brief sojourn. We left Weaverville Wednesday '• morning at an early bonr, arriving.in Davie in the afternoon, tired and sleepy but glad that we had made the journey and formed acquaintance with the town of Weaverville, one of the beautiful little villages nest­ ling in the heart of the mountains beyond the Blne Ridge, in “The Land of the Sky.” ed by a large crowd last Sunday.

It was our privilege last Tues flay to pay a visit to the little vil­ lage of Weaverville, which is situ­ ated about ten miles north of Ashe- \ ille, and surrounded by towering ^-mountain peaks reaching iar up in the heavens. We left home Mon­ day afternoon, spending the night in Salisbury, leaving there Tues­ day morning at 9:20, and arriving in Asheville at about 3o’clock that evening. We spent a few hours in the mountain city, which, by the way, is..a mighty wet town, it hav ing rained nearly all the afternoon of onr stay. Asheville is a mighty pretty village, and has many good citizens, but it is a rich many town, and the poor man hasu’tany m >re show there than Pat had in the army. Everything iu' Ashe­ ville is eu'tirely too high—even Ihe mountain peaks and the hotel and boarding house rates. The lowest thing .we saw while there was a bench legged flee.

R. Williams. The virgin Mary, spoken of by the an­ cient prophets within the lids of the tes­ taments, perhaps the purest woman that ever lived, and who gave birth to the pur­ est child ever bom of a woman, said child never sinned, and it was the virgin’s son, by having to suffer a cruel death, re deemed the children, of men, the human race, from an awful condition. It was her son, who tells us how incumbent up­ on our part to prepare to meet the emer­ gency in reference to that dreadful day, .as our days on earth are but few and they pass away like a shadow. He tells us to lay up our treasure in heaven where nei­ ther moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through ahd steal. Hecautions you that wherever your treasure is your heart is; It was the virgin's son who loved the Hebrew child­ ren when they were thrown in the furn­ ace of fire and also saved poor Daniel by closing the mouths of the lions when Dan­ iel was lying in the lion’s den, and that too, 600 years before the Son of God was bom. It was Christ who told his apostles that the city of Jerusalem would be thrown down and not a stone left unturned, be­ cause he was rejected by the Jews of be­ ing the true Messiah, and Josephus, that great Jewish historian, tells us that when Titus, the Roman General, took the city, he killed not less than LlOOjOOO Jews, and would have killed the entire Jewish race if it had not been for the elect, who are God’s chosen people. It was Christ who made his appearance before St. John, who had been banished to the lonely island of Patmos by a wicked Emperor. St, John says his appearance gave him great con solation, as he was there in a gloomv con­ dition and that he heard his voice as a trumpet, and that he was clad with a beautiful garment, and he talked with St. John, gave him messages to deliver to the churches. He did S i John great good while he was there on a lonely island. It was the son of God who told Nicodemus that lie must be bom of water and of the Spirit. It was the Son of God who pray, ed to his father in.; heaven just before his crucifiction “Save me from this hour, yet for this cause came I -unto this hour.” Then he said, “Father, glorify thy name.” Then there came a, yoiee from heaven saying, “I have both glorified it and -will glorify it again.” Then a part of the con­ gregation said it thundered, the other part said it was aii angel that spake to him, then Jesus said to them, “The voice Which yju have heard was not on my accoun* but your account." Then he said, “If I am lifted up between the earth and the heavens, I Will draw all men unto me,' signifying what kind of a death he should die. -When Jesus, standing upon the Ro­ man cross, said, ‘!Mother, behold thy. son, when he was suffering the pains of death, the mother, in a Wicked congregation, be­ held her flesh and blood, .her dying son, no doubt with a broken heart, and the daughters of Jemsalem wept for him, be- cause he was dving upon the cross, which , would not have, occurred if Adam and EvehadbeenobedienL The Matter of Corn. Printers ink cunningly distributed provokes discussion, and discussion produces amongst other crops! corn. The gospel of. intensive farming with acre-yield of corn as its simple text was first preached seriously in the state by some of the papers a little more than a year ago. Once started on the theme the press hammered along with an insistence and vigor that at first caused some complaint at the noise from a few persons who were not apt to realize what it was all about counting only the actual acres in contest, it was a case, last season, of great cry and little* wool. However there were contestants and very good yields in a number of Hie counties. But the dictim, fewer acres, more corn, more bushels, less cost is a compelling one in this age of econo­ my. The west is today as alert as the Piedmont. The county education boards are interested, and the coun­ ty superintendents are active. The boys have been marshaled into clubs. In Buncombewheretherewerethree or four boy contests last year more than 50 are now enrolled. Mr. James M. Gray of the state agricultural de­ partment was in that section the lat­ ter part of last week, visiting the young farmers and helping them with instruction, assistance and encour­ agement. He found scores of boys enlisted in the United States club and the state club, The young moun­ tain farmers will be heard from when the returns come in next fall.— Greensboro News. Do Ghosts Haunt Swamps. No, Never. Its foolish to fear a fancied evil, when there are real and deadly per­ ils to guard against in swarapsand marsh­ es, bayous, and lowlands. These are the malaria germs that cause ague, chills and fever, weakness, aches in the bones and muscles and may induce deadly typhoid. But Electric Bitters destroys and casts out these vicious germs from the blood. “Three bottles drove all the malaria from my sys tem,” wrote Wm.

Washingtonj M aylo.—The Stan­ dard Oil Company of New Jersey and its nineteen subsidiary corpo­ rations were declared today by the Supreme court of tee United States to be a conspiracy and combination in restraint of trade. It also was held to be monopolizing interstate commerce in violation of the Sher­ man anti trust law. The dissolu­ tion ol the combination was order­ ed to take place within six months. Thus ended the tremendous struggle of years on the part of the government to put down by authority of law a combination which it claimed was a menace to the industrial and. economic ad­ vancement of the entire country. Now Reaping The Harvest. A few days ago while holding court in Wilmington Judge Peebles stated on the bench that lawless^ uess is .rife in New Hanover County and that it is almost impossible' to find a jury in that county that will punish crime. Judge Peebles is reported to have stated further that he will hold no more courts in that county. In-1900 the “ white people”: of Wilmington, in the interest of “ white supremacy” murdered he groes and intimidated independent white voters and trampled-, under foot all law with impunity. Then they were sowing the seeds of law­ lessness. Now the harvest time is coming, “ Whatsoever a man sow eth that shall he also reap Lin colnton Times. Falling Back on Bryan.

Kentucky is j ust now receiving a lot of undesirable advertising as a result of the shooting habit which unfortunately has been acquired by a large number of Kentuckians. Over at Lexington Thursday a race horse breeder shot and killed a city alderman; in Louisville a suburban merchant shot to death his assailant in the red light district; down at Liv­ ermore a negro shot a white man and was in turn shot to pieces by a mob under spectacular circumstances; at Morganfield the sheriff of Union county, confronted by a shortage in his accounts and having no cause to shoot anybody else, walked out to his bam and shot himself.
