08-August"HERE SHALL THE PRESS, THE PEOPLE’S RIGHTS MAINTAIN; UNAWED BY INFLUENCE AND UNBRIBED BY GAIN.” VOLUMN XIII.MOCKSVILLE. NORTH CAROLINA. WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 2. 1911 NUMBER 4 Mr. Doughton’s Admission. The Clinton News Dispatch, in an editor- - ial. says: > ‘Hr, B. A. Doughton, of Alle- ghaney county, who drafted the Machinery Act whicn haa brought about such an increase in the valna­ tion of property, stated before the committee that he knew that the increase in taxes would be very un­ popular with the people and fur­ ther stated that he knew that this one act would cost the Democratic party several thousand votes in the State, but he said there was noth­ ing else for them to do, as the State was in debt more than three hun­ dred and fifty thousand dollars, and if they did not manage, to collect this money from the tax-payers they would be forced to sell bonds to pay the ruunlng expeuses of the State. “Mr. Doughton admitted that it would be very unpopular with the people and that it would cost the Democratic party several thousand votes.”. MrvDoughton in championing his. proposition to increase the tax­ es of the people under his re as sessment scheme, frankly told the Legislature that they had to either increase the people’s taxes, or sell more bonds in order to meet the growing Democratic deficit. He ad­ mitted that to increase the taxes was an unpopular thing to de, but he told the Legislaturefrankly that they must face the music, even though it was sure to mean a “loss of several thousand votes” to them. Why does Mr . Doughton suppose that there are only a few thousand Democrats who will have the in­ telligence, patriotism and manhood to rebuke the Democratic party for its incompetence and extravagence? As we see it, Mr. Doughton’s posi­ tion is really a reflection upon the honest rank and file of the Demo­ cratic party. Iftheconductofthe Democratic party is such as to cause “a few thousand” to leave it pray why will there not be ten thousand equally as patriotic as the few thousand referred to by Mr. Doughtonl Already more than fifty thous­ and voterB of the very best element of the Democratic party have left it for similiar causes and we believe that there are equally that many more who will do so in the near future for the same and additional and aggravated causeB. Indeed, why should anybody continue to stay in the Democratic party except the Democratic ring and those De­ mocrats who are too ignorant to know or too prejudiced to care whether or not the State has good government? Mr. Doughton’s admission will put every honest and intelligent Democrat, when they know the facts, to thinking. But how will these Democrats get these facts? They will never get them through the columns of the Baleigh Hews and Observer, or any such Demo­ cratic machine organ. Therefore we aBk every reader of The Cauca­ sian to hand this copy to his De mocratic neighbor.—Caucasian. Kitchin and Trusts. Considerable fun is being had up this way over the receipt by some of the boys oi letters from Governor Kitchin announcing hie candidacy for the United States Senate and asking their support. The letters have elicited many a genial haw haw from the boys, as they have long since made up their minds, in view of the fact that he has been so kind and sympathetic towards the American Tobacco Company since his inauguration as Governor that if he ever gets to the Senate, the aforesaid sweesscented Americ­ an Tobacco Company will have to elect him, as far as they are con cerned. Governor Kitchin chose to desert the ranks of the people in their great fight against the tobac­ co trust, and has no just cause for complaint now that be is again seeking to gratify his lust for poli­ tical office, if the people desert him: The case of. Governor Kitchin should forever be a warning to other men In public life in Korth Carolina, and \re think it will.— Madison Herald. The editor of the Herald is evi dently one of the few Democrats in the State who will publicly ac­ knowledge that his eyes has been opened.—Saturday News. WOW! “I’m sorry I ever married you.” “You ought to be. You did ome nice girl .out of a good hus- jaud.” Foor Old Rockefeller. John D. Bockefeller celebrated his 72nd birthday recently. He is today reckoned the richest man in the world. Just how much of the world’s goods this twentieth century Croesus possesses is not known to himself, for his money is invested in so many and such varied enterprises, that it is with great difficulty that he is able to keep track of it. He was born in New York State, but when he was still a boy his family settled Cleve­ land, 0. It was in this city that he wos first employed in the grocery business-at the small salary of $3 a week. In addition to his oil property, Mr. Rockefeller owns extensive tracts of land in Si iveral slates, iron mines, a number < f vessels plying on the Great Lakes, cl )se to ten thousand grocery stores in different parts of the coun­ try, so m uch of the New York Cen­tral Bail) oad that he could take ab­solute co itrol ana turn the Vander­bilts sxtomorrow, and huge blocks of Pennsylvania, Shore and a dozen of the other big railroad com­panies of the country. The Rockefeller income is so large that John D. could, out of it, buy control of one great system, like the Union Pacific, every year and never touch a penny of his principal. His income today is the most colossal in the world. Itismorethantwice as large as that of all the crowned heads of Europe combined. It is thirty- five times as great as that of the King of England, and five times as great as that of the Czar of Russia, the richest ruler of any nation. A recent calculator notes that the Rockefellerincomeisat least $2.05 a second, $123.66 4-5 a minute, $7,- 420.08 an hour, $168,082.08 a day, $1,246,574.56 a week, and $65 000,000 a year. With every tick, of the clock there drops into the Rockefeller strong box more than $2 .Iftiiedailyincome were paid to Mr. Rockefeller in $20 gold pieces, they would number a little more than 8,900, These, piled one on top of the other, each one-tenth of an inch in thickness, would reach seven­ty-four feet two inches into the air, the height of a six story building. BiMitaI Facts; J. R. Williams. It is well known by all the intelligent who have read what the ancient prophets predicted, which is recorded within the lids of the testaments, that the righteous people who have washed their skirts in the Lord’s blood, and who have been faithful in the accomplishment of all that the King of kings have required them to do, that when their earthly existence shall have terminated, that there is a home in the heavens above which is de­ corated with the most beautiful emeralds which will retain its beauty forever, pre­ pared for them by the Lord of hosts, whose existence will never terminate, and his righteous people will be with their Creator and all the celestials in the heavens a- bove so long as the King of kings will set upon His throne in heaven wielding His golden scepter over His subjects, which will go on and on throughout an endless eternity; long after the starry heavens shall have passed away. It is declared that the angels in heaven praise and ex­ tol the Almighty’s name, and that the se­ raphim and cherubim tune upon golden horps in the presence of the Lord of hosts and with all the blood washed spirits who have been faithful to the end, and there to be with loved ones gone before. We are informed that we will know each oth­ er, as we were kpown here. When we take in consideration the uncertainty of life and the certainty of death, and a very short time allotted to the children of men, when compelled to go the way of all the earth and with a knowledge as you make your departure, so will be your con­ dition through all eternity. Soiomon says fear God and keep His commandments for He shall bring every work into judgment with every secret thing, whether it be good or whether it be evil. The Son of God says but few are saved.

It is a little remarkable that the state should have provided at con­ siderably outlay for the publication of some important historical works and had them deposited with the Olerk of the Court in each county, yet comparatively few people seem to be aware of it. This is only an­ other instance showing how little the, people at large appreciate things that are furnished them free of charge. If these books, instead of being furnished free and depos­ ited with the county clerk, bad been brought out and sold through pushing canvassers, there would no doubt have been an average of one hundred sets to the county now in private and public libraries, and they would have been read by thousands of peeple. The idea of free distribution of literature con­ tributing to the increase of intelli­ gence is a delusion and a snare. The CbarlotfeChronicle referring to these books says: “In a letter to the editor of The Chronicle, Mr. Miles O. Sherrill, State Libarian, gives Borne infor­ mation that is of State-wide im portance. It is to the effect that in the Superior Court clerk’s office of each county in North Carolina there is a set of Colonial and State records, 26 volumes; five volums of North Carolina Regimental Histo­ ries, and four volumes of North Carolina Roster of Troops, war of 1861-1865, in the custody of the clerk of the court for the use and benefit of the people of the county and State. Two volumes of index to colonial records are now ready for delivery. They extend from A to.

Mr. Sherrill suggests that the in­ formation given be passed along by the weekly papers.” Girls, A void Display. Dolly Madison. Beauty in women has always attracted men. Indeed, as we read history and poe­ try, and the great novels, we might think that it is because of beauty that worlds have been lost and won. ’erhaps women should be forgiven, therefore, for the over emphasis which they place on their power to charm by their looks. They strive for admiration, and live in adulation.Indeed, one wonders if the modem wo­ man has not let her desire for admiration run riot. By startling combinations and outlandish styles she attains a conspicu­ ousness which attracts attention. But whether she wins respect and reverence is another story.A certain feminine authority has stat­ ed that men insist that they like the mouse-like woman, but that, as a matter of fact, they pursue the birds of gay plu­ mage. Many women resort to all kinds of arti­ ficial means to enhance their beauty. They become painted dolls, dress like Par­ ish fashion plates, and believe that they have thereby increased their charms. Lured by their love of admiration, they go into extremes and extravagances which make them seem abnormal to sensible people.Now, the truth is that, while men of to­ day do not seek the modest violet type of girl, neither do they bestow their affec­tion on the flaming tulip. To carry the simile further, I should say that the pop ular girl is the pink-rose type. Fresh, wholesome, sweet, men give her admira­ tion because it is her due, and because she represents neither extreme. Sheis' not over-tiring or over-assertive. The women who deck themselves stran­ gely, lured by their love of admiration, may find men who like that sort of thing, but they are not apt to be the solid, sub­ stantial, worth-while, men, who desire in a woman something besides shallow dis­play.—Philadelphia Record. ■L Accused of Stealing. E. E. Chamberlain, of Clinton, Me., bold­ly accuses Bucklen’s Arnica Salve of steal­ing—the sting from burns or scalds—the pain from soees of all kinds—the distress from boils or piles: "It robs cuts, corns, bruises, sprains and injuries of their ter­ror,” he says, “as a healing remedy its equal don’t exist." .

There have been doubts about its beiDg the best system—the di­ rect primary—all along, and now at least one strong advocate of it has began to question the wisdom ol this substitution for the repre­ sentative, or convention, method of nominating candidates for office. In Alabaufa and some other states the direct primary plan has been in operation for at least ten years. The following from the Montgom­ ery Advertiser, which was an earn­ est promoter of the new scheme, shows what an openminded obser­ ver thinks of it after a ten years’ trial: “Instead of decreasing political agitation, they have increased po­ litical agitation. Instead of ban­ ishing the demagogue, he has flour­ ished like a green bay tree and multiplied. We are barely throu one campaign, bat that the man with the issue forceB us into an­ other. The poor man must stay in private life, or let some friend raise a big campaign fund for him. And now comes the most serious aopect of the question. Have we abolished political corruption? Have we not, instead of abolishing it, spread it over the body politic and scattered it among the voters? If any maa doubts the seriousness of this question, let him ask some man who was a candidate in the last state primary as to the de­ mands made upon him for money, and as to some of the schemes re­ sorted to to make him pay out his money. The direct primary is no political Utopia; we might as well — -__ Thatisa pretty severe indict­ ment of one of the least obnoxious, and in some of its aspects one of the most commendable, of the re-, cent political reforms which have received popular support. It shows at least, what some of us have claimed, that no legislative action or potent device can abolish the evils that are fundamental in hu­ man nature in its present imper­ fect state. What changes are pos­ sible we are not able to say, but one thing is certain, the direct primary plan will grow more and more unsatisfactory and unpopular ae the ‘new’ gradually wears off, Of Great Interest. Charlotte, N. C. July 25—A meeting of all Boards of Trade and Commercial organizations in North Carolina will be invited by The Greater Charlotte Club to meet in this city September 12th, for the purpose of specially urging the “Back Home” movement to all for­ mer residents of North .Carolina. The editors of Newspapers and other progressive men of the State wiil be invited, together with offi­ cials of the State Department of Agriculture and the Governor of the State. The results of the “Back Home” movement which was inaugurated last year in Tennessee have shown that many thousand of Southern people now in the West and North west are responding to the “Back Home” call; and that even a great er. number who went West from the North and Middle West in quest of cheap, good land, are at tracted.to the South by the fact of the return movement of its own people. At the Charlotte meeting steps will be taken to ascertain the names and addresses of all who ever left North Carolina, and to put literatureintotheir hauds which they will be proud to show to other people. The Secretary of the “Back Home” Association, W. D. Boberts will be present at the meeting here and tell how the movement was started and has grown until it has come into National prominence. If sitting around on the streets in­ duces pellagra, Mocksville is going to reap a mighty big harvest one of thesd.days. w 4 4 4 4 4 0 4 4 4 4 4 4'r o c * * * * * m FOR THE BEST VALUES IN J Men’s and Boy’s Clothing and Furnishings | VISIT % Mock-Bagby-Stockton Co., J “Same Price to All.” 418 Trade Street 4 WINSTON-SALEM, N.

TERMS OF SUBSCRIPTION: One Year, in Advance........................SOc Six Months, in Advance.....................25c WEDNESDAY AUGUST 2 . 1911 The Interurban edition of The Charlotte Observer, issued last Wed­ nesday. was far beyond the expec­ tations of all the friends of that pa­ per. The edition consisted of eight sections and one hundred pages of live, up-to-date matter, giving the history of theinterurban system, and a nice write-up of the towns and cities through which the line will pass. The Observer has done herself proud, and we rejoice with them in the fine edition. A PIE STORY. This is a story of pie—not political pie, but blackberry pie. It was our great pleasure to attend the Farm­ ers’ Union picnic at Center Friday. The day was ideal, and the crowd began pouring in about 9 o’clock, and by noon between twelve and fifteen hundred people were present. It is impossible for us to give a write up of the great speeches delivered by President Alexander and State Organizer J. Z. Green, and the good music furnished by the Center choir. On such occasions as this, the editor is generally busy shaking hands with his enemies and friends and making new ones. A big batch of new names were added to our books, and sever­ al of our enemies renewed their sub­ scriptions. Among the new sub­ scriptions received, three states were represented, Oregon being the far- therest away and Tennessee closest home. But we started out to say a few words about pie, and other good things to eat. This article is put in type the morning after, and we are sorry we don’t feel able to give the ijopt r.no wll0 had eat- THIS FROM A DEMOCRAT. Referring to a query made by The Chronicle, The News and Observer says: “No promise was made to the lumber men in this State in behalf of the Democratic party. The state­ ment in the supplement gotten up by- Mr. Maxwell carried no promise, but if Mr. Eller and Mr. Maxwell had both signed a statement it would not have bound the party.” Then it was intended t J deceive the lumber vote and the election returns showed that it accomplished its purpose. It looks like the Democratic party in this State tried to play the sneak and was caught in the act.—Charlotte Chron­ icle. errasTfiucn ^ie. Jiffr editor, wou: be able to say anything at all for a week. But to the pie. When the dinner hour had approached, the editor was led, like a sheep to the slaughter, to one of the long and heavy laden tables of good things. On arriving beside the breast-works he was confronted with a big sign bearing his name, which was sur­ rounded on all sides with pies— blackberry pies. In one of the pies staring him right in the face, ap­ peared a large letter “S.” After casting our eyes up and down that table, we thought we might eat all the way around it, but if so, we’d all be dead. To say we did justice to that dinner would but mildly ex­ press it. We got busy. After de­ vouring the running-gears of a fowl we waded into that breastworks of blackberry pie. To tell how many of those pies we ate, would be giv­ ing away a national secret. As slab after slab of that delicious pie dis­ appeared from sight, we were re­ minded of that old song, “0, for a thousand tongues,” with which to sing the praises of the good ladies who remembered us so kindly and our longing for pie. It would be impossible for us to mention all the good things that were placed before us, but there were pies of all kinds, cakes of various kinds and sizes, all kinds of meats, consisting of mutton and some of the finest ham we ever ate, and pickles of various hues. At this point, we wish to hesitate long enough to remark that some of the finest cooks in the world live in the Center section. It is almost impos­ sible for a fellow to quit eating at all, when placed before such a fine dinner as that served at Center, but there was enough and to spare. Af­ ter the hungry multitude had been filled, a hundred baskets and boxes of fragments were picked up. The hungry young men of Mocksville who went out and were filled, have requested us to thank the ladies and express through The Record their appreciation for the good dinner. The ugliest man in the county was not present alone—others were there whom we wot not- of. In closing, we want to say again that it was a great day for Davie county, a great­ er day for the. Formers’ Union, and we feel that it was good to be there. During the entire day we did not see a drunken man. and there was no quareling or fighting, a great compliment-to the immense crowd that were present. A large Comes to Mr. Click’s Assistance. Statesville Landmark. Mr. J. F. Click, of Hickory, a native of Davie county, writes the Mocksville Re­ cord that he thinks Davie county was named in honor of Wm R. Davie. He gives a short sketch of Davie and men­ tions that he was elected Governor of NorthCarolina in 1799. The editor of the Record challenges Mr. Click's last statement, saying that “Davie was never Governor of this State." Excvse The Landmark for butting in. Mr. Click is right exeept as to the year of the election. Davie county was named for Gen. William R. Davie. He was bom in England in 1756 and was long a resi­ dent of Halifax county, N. C., which he represented in the Legislature for many years. Under the head of Halifax county Wheeler’s history of North Carolina gives an extended account of Davie’s services, especially his military career. In 1798 he was appointed by the President of the United States brigadier general in the army and he prepared a system of caval­ ry tactics which were printed-by order of the State and nsed for this arm of the service. In August, 1798, he was elected to the House of Commons and the 4th- of December following he was elected Gov­ ernor over Benjamin Williams. I n -June, 1799, he was appointed by the President, with Oliver Ellsworth,. Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, and Mr. Murray, then Wnister at ie Hague, ™ amnassaaor to FraH^^lce'Patrick Henry', declined. AU this information is from Wheeler, and of Davie’s visit to France the histor­ ian says: “In the most poiished court of Europe, the dignified person and graceful 'manners of Governor Davie were conspic­ uous ‘I could remark,’ said an eye-wit­ ness, ‘that Bonaparte, in addressing the American legation at his levees, seemed to forget that Governor Davie was second in his mission, his attention being more particularly to him.” Gov. Davie was a candidate for Congrees in 1803 and was defeated. He moved to Tivoli. near Lands- ford, S. C., and died there in 1820, aged 64. Davie county people have every reason to be proud of the man for whom their county was named. [Editor Clark is referred toourcomment which appears under Mr Click’s, article in today's paper. Editor .] Farmers Union State Meeting. Salisbury, July 27.—The midsum­ mer State meeting of the Farmers’ Educational and Co-Operative Union came to a close tonight after a two days’ session. State President Alex­ander called the meeting to order this morning at 10 o’clock and an executive session was at once gone into. A number of resolutions were presented and turned over to the re­solutions committee. The last Legis­ lature granted the union anew char­ter which is a business one and the question of adopting this was defer­ red until the midwinter State meet­ ing in December, the executive com­ mittee to decide upon the place of holding this meeting. Mr. E. P. Suaw of Duplin county addressed the meeting on education, favoring the teaching of the ele­ mentary principles of agriculture in the public schoois. He was followed by President Hill of the A & M. Col­lege, who extended an urgent invi­ tation to the delegates to attend the State farmers’institute to be held at thiscollegejuly 29to31, inclusive. The resolutions committee made a partial report. The endorsement of the farm life schools was unanimous bv the convention. It was decided that where a county decided to adopt this school the State union wouYd send a lecturer to the countv to spend a w e e k making . tampain speeches. National President C.' S. Barrett of Union City, Ga., es.me ‘ into the convention just at noon and was giv­ en a great ovation. He addressed the convention this afternoon A brief business session was; also held this afternoon, the meetingad journ- ing at 4:30 o’clock and the delegates went in a body to the Grubb theater where they were the guests for ; an hour or more of the .. merchants of the city at a special motion picture and vaudeville, after which many of them were given a car ride to Spen­ cer. Tonight Mr. I. 0. Schaub, State whi-h is President of the Boys’ Com Club, addressed the delegates in the audi­torium at the public school building where all of the sessions were held. L . .....

Several from around here attended the picnic at Center Friday.Miss Beulah Vernon spent Friday with your interesting paper, The Davie Record. I note you say under my “ ] article about William R. Davie be­ ing Governor, that "Davie was nev­ er Governor of this State.” My son, I got mv information from history, where did you get yours? Yours may be right, mine may be wrong, I quoted what one history said. It might have been mistaken when it said he was elected in 1799. But he was certainly Governor until June of that yeer, and a man by the name of Littlejohn, of Tennessee, was his private secretary. Wheeldr’s history says Davie was elected Governor over Benjamin Williams, in December, 1798. He evidently served Governor until June, 1797, when he resigned to ac­ cept the appointment as Embassa- der to France. Theofficeof Governor being va­ cant, then it was the General Assem­ bly elected-Williams, the very man Davie defeated for Governor in De­ cember before. AU Governors then were elected by the General Assem­ bly. Now I have made this state­ ment in order to keep history straight before your many readers, especially history about which Da- vieites thould be deeply interested. J. F. Cl ic k . [We dislike to have to differ with Mr. Click on the above matter, which is of interest to all our people, but it is our painful duty to set him straight about his native county. We made the assertion in our last issue that William R. Davie was never. Governor of North Carolina, and we are still sticking to it. If Mr. Click will examine the records at Edenton, N. C., which have been corrected by Hon. K. P. Battle, of Chapel Hill, he will find that Sam­ uel Ashe was elected and served as Governor from 1795 to 1799, in which year Benjamin Williams was elected and served until 1802. In that year J. Baptist Ashe was elected, but died before being qualified, and Jas. T irner was then elected. In 1807 Benjamin Williams was again elect­ ed Governor. Now, we may be in error, ,but this is history that we are giving our readers, and it is on re­ cord. Who is mistaken. E d it o r .] WHAT IS YQUR BACK WORTH? Cana News.

Wocil Tari Washington, July 27.—Out of what had appeared to be a chaotic condi­ tion in the 'Senate there suddenly arose today,!a coalition of Democrats and insurgent Republicans which bowled ova'.- the regular organization and passed a compromise bill for the revision of the woolen tariff by 48 to 32. This new force in the Senate, unit­ ed on a material reduction of tariff duties all down the line and flushed with victory, tonight is threatening not only to enact the so-called House farmers free list bill into law next Tuesday, but to put through a cotton bill as well. The insurgents want the sugar and steel schedules included in the program. Farmers’ State Union. The North Carolina Division of the Far­ mers' Educational and Co-operative Unioa of America met in the city of Salisburyon the 26th and 27th of July. Official reports showed that the Union is in fine condition in every way. It’s growth has been steady and rapid. There are more than seventy coonties organized with a total membership of nearly 40,000. Much important business was transacted. Good will and harmony prevailed. Pros­ pects are encouraging. The best and most progressive of the farmers in all parts of the State are coming into the Union. Scientific methods of cultivation and the best business principles in marketing fatal products are among the salient feat­ ures of the Union. The Union urges great­ er efforts in the education of the children in a general way, and especially in the elementary science of agriculture and do­ mestic economy. Under the leadership of the Farmers’ Union have come into being the “Farm Life School” whose pro- vence is to give our children special train­ing along the lines of their life work. Tins is the most valuable legislation the State has known in twenty years. In many ways the Union is contributing much to­ wards the prosperity of the country and merits general approbation. H.

Hamlet, July 28.—One of the worst wrecks ever experienced by the Sea­ board Air Line occurred right in front of the Hamlet roundhouse at 10:40 this morning, when a colored excursion bound from Durham to Charlotte and running as second No. 83, in charge of Conductor William Bowen of Raleigh and Engineman Ben Koonce of the same place, went head-on into a freight coming into the yards from Wilmington and in charge of Engineer Archie Taylor and Conductor Benton Brown. The trade at this place makes a sharp curve and both sides of the main line were lined with box and coal cars. The freight was crawling into the yards under the impression that no train was coming and Engineer Koonce was heading for Hamlet at a good clip, sure also that the track was clear. The two engines lie now beside the track fast to each other in a grasp of death. The wrecking crew have so far been unable to separate them. Eight negroes were killed and sixtywoundgd.

A poor, very poor, but respect­ ful citizen died in this county the past/week. Owing to age and con- sejment infirmities, be was incapa­ citated for labor and had never been fortunate in gathering a nest egg for a rainy day. He carried no life insurance which many people do to meet sickness, death and burial. Not only was his family poor but ateo his neighbors and friends. But for a subscription paper in the hands of a sympathiser in distress and with no aid from the county or city, the remains would have found their last resting place od the dissecting table of some State institution, by a law passed by the last Democratic General Assembly prohibiting all aid by county or city to its pauper dead and provid­ ing that if funds cannot be raised for their burial, aud the bodies of of all such shall be sent to the dis­ secting table. And this is civilized North Carolina, ?n the year of our Lord 1911, and the 135th of our national independence. And what is true of our deceased poor aud unfortunate fellow cilizeu above noted will apply to many another individual as the weeks go by.— Union Republican. Napoleon and Washington. Napoleon sought to rule men: Washington aimed to serve them Tou see the result of the two sys terns in what is left of them. At Waterloo today you find a great waste desert, in the center of which is simply a mound to commemorate a great battle. But arouud the field of Bunker Hill sprang up the great city of colleges and schools, and those influences that went out through all the world; that is the result of the service which Wash ington rendered in contrast to do mination of Napoleon. You find at Mount Vernon a very plain structure for the tomb of Washing­ ton, scarcely to be noticed except when one goes out of his way to see it. Napoleon?a_tomb is in the heart mIflffiaris, and'a mttf fl'fe JaSket his remains. Washington’s remains are as broad as the continent. That is the result of service as opposed to self seeking.—Alexander Mc­ Kenzie. President Garfield Forgotten. ThirtyyearsagoJuly 2nd Wash­ ington and the entire world was thrown into a wild state of excite­ ment by the shooting of President Garfield. His death brought condol­ ences from every countsy and sad­ dened hearts of every American, but today, less than a third of a century since, his illustrious life has been so far forgotten that neither a flag nor a tiny bouquet of flowers was placed on his statue in front of the Capitol, only a few blocks from where he fell.

A little thought will show you how vastly yonr own happiness de­ pends on the way other people bear themselves toward you. The looks and toneB at your breakfast table the conduct of your fellow workers or employers, the faithful or unre­ liable inen yon deal with, what people say to you on-the-street the way your cook and housemaid do their work, the IettcrB you get; the friends or foes you meet—these things make up very much of the pleasure or misery of your day. Turn the idea around and remem­ ber that just so much are you ad­ ding to the pleasure or the misery of other people’s days. And this is the half of the matter which you can control. Whether any partic­ ular day shall bring to you more of happiness or of suffering is large­ ly beyond your power to determine Whether each day of your life shall give happiness or suffering rests with yourself.—George S. Mer- riain. A Dangerous Pillow. Wilmington Dispatch. Night before last the incoming Seaboard Air Line train which passed late at night, narrowly miss­ ed killing a negro about 20 miles from this city. The escape of the man, from possible death, the stu ation having been brought about by his own carelessness, was truly remarkable.: .While the train was speeding on toward Wilmington, between the 39th and 20th mile posts, the engineer noticed a man’s body stretched from the edge of one of the tracks. The train was going at,a great rate of speed. Be­ fore the engine could be stopped the train had passed several hun­ dred yards beyond the point where the man’s body had first been no­ ticed. Captain W. L. Beery, was in charge of the train. He imme­ diately went forward to ascertain from the engineer what was wrong. The engineer then stated that he thought he,had killed a man and S" train before the engine and cars bad passed over the man. Lan­ terns were secured and Captain Bcery and the engineer then went back fully expecting to find a dead body. When they reached the man they found him asleep and with his head resting along-side the track, and his body extending out­ ward. The entire train had pass ed over the negro. If he had lifted his head only an inch or two hiR skull had been crushed. Impos aible as it may seem, the man had not been awakened by the rush and roar of wheels as they passed to closely to his head. Thoseincharge of the train were compelled to shake the negro several times in order to arouse him from his healthy sleep. He was then informed how narrow­ ly he had escaped death. The man was given some timely information as to selection of sleeping places, which will probably teach him in future to select some place for a nap other than a sandy spot be­ tween railroad cross-ties and track, as a pillow for his head.

Dick Naylor, in Home and Farm. Ihe bombastic 6tyle of metaphor that used to amuse the young folks in our good parents’ time is not much iu vogue today. It seems to have beeu supplemented by the slang expressions so popular of late years. There was much a- mnsement, however, to be had from the old bigh-falutin expres­ sions of our ancestors, although they sometimes made one appear quite ridiculous, as, for example, in the case of the pedantic young school teacher who, with much dignity and show of erudition, re­ quested Miss Mary .Tones to “kiud- Iv curtail the superfluities of the nocturnal luininaary.” As this high-sounding request was too big a job for Mary’s mind to assimilate, the pedagogue finally had to give it to her in a smaller chkrge by asking her to snuff the candle. VThe Widder Thompson” who ran a boarding-house for some college boys sometimes had trouble in comprehending the wishes of her bombastic boarders. She final­ ly “caught on,” however, tp young Smithers’ meaning when he asked her to “please circulate some of the alimentary viands in the vici­ nity of my station,” and passed him an assortment of edible prep­ arations; but Smithers almost gave her nervous prostration once. That was when the butter waB out of his reach and the bread was very dry. “Madam,” he said, in his most persuasive tone, “pleaBe be so kind as to place within easy access of my digital extremities the oleagin­ ous concrete essence ol lacteal fluid with which to lubricate the staff of life.” Many of the older readers of Home and Farm remember what pleasure they used to get out of the old “conversation cards.” If a young man desired to converse wirh a young lady, he would hand her a card bearing the printed question: “May I have the ex­ quisite pleasure of revolving the hub of my loquacity around the axle-tree of your comprehension?” Perhaps the young lady, to carry out the spirit of fun and frolic, would band him a card reading toms&ing like this: “The pendulum of your inquiry ocillates beyond the clock case of my mentality; or, in simple lan­ guage, “I do not understand you; you are beyond my comprehen­ sion.” One of the old conversation cards ,was intended for the timid youth who wished to accompany some PrettydP^feferiOT .^jme. It bore tip question: t* “May I have the extreme felicity f escorting you to yonr domiciliary vocation?” The girl could answer yes by handing him a card read­ ing: “My answer, to your interroga­ tory is contained in the compre­ hensive affirmative monosyllable,” meaning the wore “yes,” of coure. “The comprehensive n eg ativ e monosyllable,” “no,” could be Used in case she refused his re­ quest. “ In the infinitessimal subdivsion of time,” /as the card language for “in a moment,” just as “that removes the dilapidated linen from the infantile tree,” was equivalent to saying, “that takes the rag off the bush.” rTo tell one: “You have the wrong infantile porcine quadruped Wy the auricular orgon,” simply meant: • flYoi^ have the wrong pig by the ear;” o i, in other wards: “You have mide a mistake.” ; Smithers spiel about the butter was sometime^ variee into a rebuke for a preBumpfious “smart alec,” thus: "lYou ^eem not to compre­ hend upon which side of your Btaff of life the oleaginous concrete es­ sence of lacteal fluid is disseminat­ ed.” which simply informed him that he did not know which side of his brrad was buttered. Some of the flings ot the old con­ versation eards were even more severe and emphatic than the Iaat named. For example, if a lady bad a special repugnance ior some too persistent gentlemen, she could convey her sentiments to him upon a card reading: “Please take your departure to the reverberating echoes of heaven’s artillery;” or, in other words: “Go to thunder!” During the war a popular youug lady was passing the quarters of some officers one morning, when she observed a young lieutenant of her acquaintance toasting a piece of bread upon the point of his sword. She naively remarked: “I see, Lieutenant, that you have the staff of life upon the point of death.” At a social gathering of belles and beax a jealous girl, in speaking to a young man about a popular maiden, spoke of her as “that red- beaded, pop-eyed thing.” •‘I think I should describe her differently,” her companion re­ marked- “Howl” inpuired the girl. “ Why, I should speak of her as “ the auburn-haired damsel with protruding optics,” was the res­ ponse. One bombastic young man rather got the worst of bis efforts to “im­ press” a group of loungers with his superior knowledge when he pom­ pously addressed a negro butler somewhat after thh style as he drove up to a live/y stable. “I say, bostleij, extricate this quadruped fromjijjs vehicle; Btabu- Iate him; devoted his alimentary necessities a supply of cereal nutri­ tion adequate to Ais equine de­ mands. And whenil return hither upon the next diurnal approach of Aurora’s golden chariot, I will re­ ward you with a pecuniary recom pense amply munificent for you; professional care and attention.” Turning to the office door, the negro shouted: “Say, boss, here’s a Dutchman out here, but I dunno what he wants.” Some of the most amusing efforts at high-falutin language have been gotton off by negroes. A story is told by the Silverton|(Texas) Enter­ prise about a minister who, one hot summer afternoon, was driving along a country road. He became very thirsty, and hearing the trickling of a nearby spring, he hitched his horse and eagerly fol­ lowed the sound of the dripping water. He found an old negro Sit­ ting by the spring. ” i “Good morning, Uncle,” said the preacher,” Is this pretty good waterl” •‘Yes, sah,” was the reply. “Dey ain’t none better. Three or four phrenologists done scandalized dis here water and found hit was dis­ posed of four substances. One .is aurora borealis, anoder is hydro­ phobia, and the third one is appen­ dicitis; but, sah, I declar’ to good­ ness, I done clean forgot what de odder one is; but, anyhow hit’s somethin’ jest as good.” Catawba River Low. Newton Enterprise. We are told that the water in the Catawba river is so low that it can at some places be waded and at many places it can be crossed by stepping on the projecting rocks. Many wells are going dry and small streams are on the verge of drying up. Mr. Bud Yount tells us that he was out about Lookout shoals lastweek buying cat­tle. He stopped at a farm house to water his horse at a well, but was told that water was so low it could not be spared.

Hickoiy Times-Mercury. Governor Bleaae of South Caro­ lina made a Fouith of July speech at Gaffney, S. O., in which he ad­ vocated that special rights be grant­ ed the aristocratic and wealthy criminal; while lor the negro and poor white man, he 'recommended the lynch law. We have read Voltaire, Buskin and many others in their famous treaties in justice, but in our ex­ tended knowledge of history we have never before read a more rank and foul plea for injustice than the sentiments that Governor Blease uttered in his Gaffney speech. Thejnstice and honor of the fair state of South Carolina was pollut­ ed to stagnation wheu her laws al­ lowed James Tillman, agrand cow­ ard, to go tree after killing in cold blood one of the most gentlemanly, one of the noblest, one of the pur­ est and one of the most gifted in­ tellectual sons ot her state. The entire country was amazed at such actions of injustice that attended the acquittal of young Tillman but they remained quiet, thinking that she would learn from this Instance how to deal with a like case in the future. Alas! her governor came to Gaffney to deliver a spcech on liberty and ireedom, but instead he hnrled forth in blood-thirsty vibrations the standard ' of South Carolina civilization. Hesaid there was many a poor mortal lingering within the four walls of prisons throughout the country who, on account of their historic lineage or wealth, should be set free. Then in contrast to this he said that the negro element of South Carolina knew that he would never send a detatchment of soldiers to prevent the lynching of one of their num- ber. These utterances are Ueroic, monarehiai and uncivilized. They do not become the governor of a state. Justice, integrity and honOr are the greatest assets that any state can boast of but I fear that these attributes in the State of South Carolina are trailing in a pool of oblivion, submerged by the barbaric utterances of her governor iu his Gaffney speech. There has been of late a tenden­ cy iu the courts of justice to ignore the crimes and offences of the up­ per classes, while the slightest mis­ demeanor ol a poor person is pun­ ished to the full extent of the law. Such was the nature of the Thaw case and likewise the Tillman case. But such injustice cannot last long —the people will not tolerate it. It was one of the causes that brought about the great French Revolution, and if this case of American injus­ tice is not corrected very soon, I fear that just as drastic a measure will be necessary to free this coun­ try from discrimination in the pu­ nishment of the different classes in our American society. For the law to bear too heavily upon one man hurts an individual. For the law to be flouted and dis regarded, even in one case, hurts the whole state. Excessive rains have destroyed Georgia’s chances of producing the bumper cotton crop, according to the state commissioner of agriculture who also returned from a tour of the state.

I am always as full of advice as a dog is of fleas, and while I think of it I will just reel off a few hanks of advice to the young man who contemplates slipping over to one side of the bed, adding another pillow and getting his mouth full of long golden hair. You may not have noticed it, young man, but her dress fastens at the back. She can’t reach it very well, and you will have to fasten it lor her. It is always a good idea to practice on a dummy awhile before you tackle the. real thing. I would advise you to purchase from some large dress-making es­ tablishment or clothing store one oiVthose bulgy ladies who have neither head nor legs, known as dummies or dress-forms. Then steal out one of your mammy's old dresses, (or yonr sister’s if you haye a sister), and each morning prac-J tice fastening it up and down the back. Set it in a rocking chair, so that it will wiggle, and then see if you can get therightbuttonin the right hole. When you carftlo this about once in four times, have the but­ tons changed to a size just too large for the button holes, and begin all over again. If fairly clever at this, try a row of hooks and eyes invis­ ible to the naked eye. Theu sub­ stitute for the metal eyes a few loops of thread well lost iu a jangle of lace. Do not use a strong light, for you will often have to perform in the twilight or the early morning. Speed is very necessary, and there should be a few needles and pins stuck into the garments at unex­ pected places. At first you can use the language that comes handy, but gradually this should be discontinued and re­ placed with something less offen­ sive. When you are able to pass through this ordeal successfully, fastening the dress ou straight in three minutes without cussing, then it will be reasonably safe to have the papers drawn up and send for the preacher.

During the session of the States­ ville District Gonference at Maiden last week, Mr. Sharpe, a venerable lay delegate from Alexander county, discussing the spiritual condition of the Church, said they had heard in his neighborhood that the preachers and lawyers of Statesville had en­ gaged in playing baseball. Mr. Sharpe intimated that he would like to be­ lieve that the report was not true, and the tenor of his remarks indi­ cated that if the report was true he was of the opinion that the preach­ ers, if not the lawyers, had overstep ped the proper bounds. While Mr. Sharpe was talking, it is said that at least two Statesville preachers and one lawyer-layman hung their heads and looked' guilty. Then a Statesville layman up and told Mr. Sharpe that the report was true, but by way of extenuation he said the preachers and lavryers who played ball were not preachers and lawyers of the first class.

Progressive Farmer. “This dry year is bringing out the difference between good farming and poor farming more striking than al­ most any Other in recent years, said a farmer from a drought-dam- aged section a few days ago. “Where the farmers broke their land deep and pulverized thoroughly so that the land has held moisture well, and have not committed the folly of cut­ ting corn roots with turning plows, the crops have stood the dry spell amazingly well. Butwherevercrops were planted in a little scratched upper surface, impervious to mois­ ture, there you see where the heat and dryness have told their story Brickbats cannot hold moisture—to any extent—and clods are little bet­ ter.

J The Use of Lime. Tnscaloosa, Ala., July 30th,— In order to give practical informa­ tion to farmers of the South as to the'benefits to be secured by the jfge of lime both for increasing yields and for improving the ; soil, The Southern Railway and the Ala­ bama Oreiit Southern Railroad, through their Cotton culture De partment are making experiments along tbeir IineB in Alabama with corn, cotton, peanuts, and other farm products. The lime used analyzed 70 per cent and was se­ cured from Marengo, Greene, and Sumpter comities where millions of tons lie along the Warrior and Tombigbee rivers. The lime was applied in the spring and has re­ united in the promise of increased yields, though it is too early to know what the increase or the be­ nefit to the soil will be. Lime has been used for improv­ ing the soil for many centuries and authorities agree that a great part of the land under cultivation in the Southeast is deficient in this respect resulting in an excess of acidity when vegetable matter decays The use of lime preserves the vegetable matter in the condition most suit­ able for the support of plant life, t is hot intended that lime Bhonld used as a substitute for manure or commercial fertilizers but that by its use a much greater percent­ age of the plant food in the manure or fertilizers may be retained in the soil. As soon as possible the results of the experiments being made by the Southern Railway and by the Ala­ bama Great Southern will be given the eforni3rs of the South.

The entire congregation of the "Sancti­ fied” negro church in Quitman, Ga., is fer­ vently praying for the death of Oscar Da vis, one of the wealthiest citizens of that place. The negroes allege Davis has been per­ secuting their church because he com­ plained to the authorities that the meet­ ings held by the negroes were a nusiance. The church is about 100 yards from the Davis home and Davis alleged that the negroes were so noisy about their dovotions that he and his family could not sleep. The authorities forced the negroes to be, quiet while holding meetings.

No man can be strong who is suffering from weak stomach with its consequent indigestion, or from some other disease of the stomach and its associated organs, which im­ pairs digestion and nutrition.

AUGUST 16. 1911 NUMBER 6 Senator Vest’s Eulogy on the Dog. The Speech of Senator Vest eulo­ gizing the dog wa3 made when serving as attorney in the prosecu­ tion of a man who bad wantonly shot a dog of a neighbor. The eu­ logy follows: “Gentlemen of the Jury: The best friend a man has in'this world may turn against him and become his euemy. His son or daughter that he has reared with may become ungrateful. Those who are nearest and dearest to us, those whom we trust with our hap­ piness and our good name may be­ come traitors to our trust. The money that a man has he may lose. It flies a » .j .f,om him when he may need it moat. A man’s reputation may be sacrificed in a moment of ill considered action. The people who are prone to fall on their knees and do us honor when.suceess is with us may be the first to throw the stone of malice whenfailure settles its cloud upon our heads. The one absolutely un­ selfish; friend a man may have in this unselfish world, the one that never deserts him, the one that never proves ungrateful or treach- . erous,.is the dog. “Ger.tlemeuof the Jury, a man’s dog stands by him, in prosperity and In poverty, in health and in sickness. He will sleep on the cold ground, where the wintry winds blow and snow drives fiercely if only he may be near his mester’s side. He will kiss the hands that ‘ has no food to offer, he will lick the wounds and soreB that come in encounters with the roughness of the world.. He guards thesleep of his pauper master as if be were a prince. When all other friends de­ sert he remains. When riches take wings and reputation falls to pieces he is as constant in his love as the sun in its journey through the heavens. If fortune drives the master forth an outcast into the world, friendless and homeless, the faithful dog asks no higher privi­ lege than that of accompanying him, to guard against danger, to ' fight against his enemies, and when ..he last scene of all comeB and death Sakes his master in its embrace and is body is laid away iu the cold ground, no matter if all other friends pursue their way, there by his graveside will the noble dog be found, his head between bis paws, his eyes sad but open in alert watch­ fulness, faithful and true even to death. The plaintiff had sued for $200 damages. When Senator Vest fin­ ished speaking, the jury, after de­ liberating for two minntesawarded $500. Editor Record:—The above . Eu­ logy by Senator Vest is worth the space it will take in your paper, and I ask you to publish it. The language is tine, the sentiment is beautiful and brings vividly to ones mind the great difference between the gratitude of the four legged dog, and the two legged ingrate \ Both species'of the dog still live, reathe, and crawl around today, of the two, give me the four kind, whose inhuman grati- e appeals to all that is best in us, and, command our highest ad­ miration and our deepest and fon­ dest respect. The four legged brute described appeals to our loftiest conception of gratitude, while the two pegged dog arouses our con­ tempt, and stamps indelibly upon . our Snind and conscience the ugly littifeness of Ingratitude. >^e are no great lover of the dog but of two above, described give us ' thfe one with four legs. M. Mocksville, n J c . Aug. 15th 1911. \ Democra ic candidates in this State for Senatorial honors might “take a pass” at Col. Bryan’s test. It would at least show their support­ ers and the people just where they stand. Here are the questions: “Do you favor tariff for revenue only? “Do you favor free raw material and the placing of a revenue duty only on manufactured goods? “Do you believe in the revision of the tariff the element of protec­ tion should be given consideration? “Do you believe that the three branches of government are co or­ dinate and that each oue should keep within its constitutional sphere? “Do you approve the recent Standard Oil decision wherein the United States Supreme Court legis­ lated the word ‘unreasonable’ into the Sherman anti-trust act? ‘Po you favor the criminal clause of the anti-trust law or do you be­ lieve that in view of Supreme Court legislation Congress should make it clear that all restraint of trade is unreasonable? “Do you favor the election ol Senators by the people? “Do you favor the income tax? “Do you believe that it is the duty of the American people to promise independence to the Fili­ pinos immediately and to give it in the same way in which they gave independence to the Cubans? “Do you believe in the publicity of campaign contributions and ex­ penditures both before and after election day, in order that the peo­ ple may know in advance the char­ acter of support each party and candidate receives? “Are yon willing that the source of every dollar of contribution made to your campaign fund either after your nomination or during the contest for the nomination shall be made public prior to election day. “Do you believe in the support of State governments in all their rights? “Do you indorse the labor planks of the 1908 platform? “Do you believe in the strict re­ gulation of railroads? “Do you indorse the Democratic platform of 1908 respecting trusts, wherein it declares that ‘a private inonoply is indefensible and intole­ rable,’ and presents a remedy? “Do you approve the plan known as the Aldrich currency system? “Do you favor asset currency in any form? “Do you believe in the establish- meu of what is known as the cen­ tral bank? “ Do you favor legislation com­ pelling banks to insure depositors.” Of course, Col. Bryan haB made it tough for the boys and unless they can answer and Uve up to eve ry one of them just as he can, they may as well understand that they are not near as eligible as he is himself. Therefore, they are not in it with him. Since, however, Col. Bryan is not good at picking out things to “stand for” and “get in on,” the eligibles wili fight shy of them and be pretty apt to get scratched off of the list for contempt of court and otherwise violating the 'ruleB of the management. trade of our readers. Only one general store in town abso­ lutely refuses to advertise with us. The manager of this store told our solicitor that he would never advertise in The Times until the law forced him. Well, that means that he carries his politics in­ to his business. It means that he don’t care for the 2,000 Republican buyers in the county. It means that he knocks us out of about $3 or $5 per month, but todo so will risk losing $5,000 worth of. trade annually. He thinks he is hurting The Times. Well, he is a little. But we will be here to publish the regretable news of his fail­ ure in business. Mark that. If there is a business man in town so narrow as to refuse to advertise in either paper here on account of politics or per­ sonal ill feeling, 1 / does not deserve to succeed in bust .^ss and wili not.

I would like to know myself, and besides, it would be of interest to the general public.” This remark of a friend suggests this article. Away back in the forties and prior to the discovery of gold in California in ’49, the gold mines of Eorth Carolina attracted attention. There was mining for gold in Bnrke, RuthefOrd, Mecklenburg, Rowan, Cabarrus and perhaps one or two other counties. In north Georgia also, Cspecia1Iy around Da lonega, there was much activity in the search of gold, Aside from these localities, so far as I know, there was no other section in the United Btates in which gold was found at that time. Attracted to the mines in Ruth­ erford there came two Germans, Augustus aiid Christopher Becht- ler. They engaged in mining but soon abandoned the search for gold and established a mint ior its coin­ age in the town of Rutherfordton. Augustus seems to have been the leader in this. - About him I have but an indistinct recollection, only remembering that he was quite large and fine-looking. He was a jolly Dutchman, fond of company and of his gun and dogs and never failed tokill a partdridge “on the wing.” Not very long after the establishment of their mint, AngustusBachtler died. The business was carried on by Chris­ topher for quite a number of years. Of him I have a very distinct re­ membrance. Like his brother, he was very large. He had a bushy head, heavy eyebrows and dark complexion. But, unlike his brother, Augus­ tus, he seemed to be a recluse, keeping off the street and avoid­ ing any gathering of the people. The mint or place where he work­ ed was a room in his dwelling. I never heard of aay one who wit­ nessed his process of coining' the crnde gold into beautiful coins. This was, as I think a secret, which he well guarded. He bought the gold dust from those who got it by the crude process of panning. Much of this dust was taken m by merchants, most of which found its way to Bacatler’s mint. It must not be supposed from the scarcity of the Bachtler coin at the present day that there was only a few hun­ dred that got .into circulation. I remember well, being a lad behind the counter^ that it was the princi­ pal currency in Rutherford, and I thinfcof the aureouqding counties. In my.opioniondts circulation ran up info many thousands of dollars, perhaps to several hundred thous­ and. The Bechtler coin was pure gold and without alloy and its weight slightly in excess of the legal ten* der. How did it all so suddenly disappear? Did shrewd parties gather iit up aud have it re-coined at a profit? Who knows? Chris­ topher Bechtier had the confidence of the people and the fact that he handled so much gold and died a poor man should be a monnment to his honesty.—Lawson Eaves in Shelby Highlander. Farmers Get Record Price for Po­ tatoes. A Mnllica Hill dispatch of July 23 says that when a farmer takes a load of potatoes to the station.aiid takes home at least one hundred dollars for the same, he is making more money probably than at any time in his life from the same in­ vestment. This is being done right and Ieit around this section. During the past week Charles Hazelton took three two-horse loads and received one hundred dollars per load in one day, and Raymond Coates reeeived one hun­ dred dollars per load for four loads the same day. It is the record-breaking season for these tubers and there is not a grower that is known in this vici­ nity but who will not realize more from his potato crop than ever be­ fore. At the same time there never was a larger acreage. A farmer from the West arrived here a few days ago and stated that the reaeon such prices are paid here is because in the great centers of the West the crop is a failure, the same as in the South.

C. | Got What They Wanted. Daring the iast campaign a favorite pas­ time of Democratic papers was to publish letters from cotton mill men stating that they did not desire any protection to their industry. At that time they had not dreamed that the Democrats would have majority in the next Congress and would make an effort to remove the tariff from their products. They could well afford to indulge in political buncombe in order to give some Democrats a seat in Congress. They expected the Republicans to con­ trail the house and felt that their interests would be looked after anyway. Now that they are confronted with a prospect of a reduction in the cotton sche­ dules, their tune has turned. The action of the ways and means Committee of Con­ gress in refusing to hear the cotton man­ ufacturers has waked them up to the se­ riousness of the mistake they made in voting the Democratic ticket. Mr R. M. Miller, chairman of the tariff committee of the American Manufacturers Associa­ tion, gave out a statement last Thursday that the proposed law is altogether unfair and unjust and, if enacted into law, will Turn the cotton miils of our country into soup houses.” Those who remember the runious times that followed the last Der mocratie tariff law are prepared to believe Mr. Miller’s statement. In a former state­ ment Mr. Miller stated that the cotton manufacturers of the South are not only producers but consumers most of whom voted the Democratic ticket. These men perhaps now see the urgent need of voting as thev pray. Mt. Miller further added that this bill would force the manufacturers to reduce the wages of their laborers from 25 to 50 per cent in order to meet competition. “This means,” declared Mt. Miller, “pau­ per wages to our American laborers .to meet the pauper wages of Europe. Will American laborstand forit? TheAmierican cotton manufacturers protest against it.’ During the campaign we tried in our humble way to show the voters that this very result would follow the election of a Democratic Congress. The voters seemed to see the matter in a different light and voted for a reduction of their own wages. And unless President Taft and the Re publican members of Congress save them from the result of their own folly, panicy times are likely to follow. Wehopethese experiences will lead the people of the South to cease voting blindly and vote for those things that will aid the - South.— Times-Mercury. $100 REWARD, $100.

TERMS OF SUBSCRIPTION: One Year, in Advance..........................50c Six Months, in Advance.......................25c WEDNESDAY AUGUST 16. 1911 WILLIAM R. DAVIE. Seeingreferencerecentlyin this paper to the distinguished man in whose mem­ ory Davie county was named and thinking a fuller sketch of his life and' services may be of some interest to the people of the county, I have prepared the following brief outline, limiting myself for lack of suHicient space for an adequate sketch. Every siatement is based on the highest authorities on North Carolina history. William Richardson Davie was born in the North of England June 20,1756. When only seven years old he was brought to this country and placed with his uncle, Rev. William Richardson, a Presbyterian minister residing on the Catawba river, just over the line in South Carolina, oppo­ site Charlotte. Richardson had no child­ren so he adopted his nephew and name­sake, educated him and gave him his fine estate. Young Davie was prepared for college at “Queen's Museum,” a fine and flourishing academy in Charlotte. He en­tered Princeton College, New Jersey from which institution he graduated with the highest honors of the class in the fall of 1776. Havingselectedthe profession of the law he began his law studies in Sal­isbury. Davie first served in the Patriot army while a student in Princeton. Again in 1777, he volunteered and served a few months, and in 1779 was elected a Lieu­ tenant in a troop of Cavalry from the Salisbury district. Davie soon passed from Lieutenant to Captain, and then to Major. He was seriously wounded in the battle of Stono. June 20, 1779. After spending nearly three months in the hospital, Da­vie was able to return home but unfit for service in the field. He ie 2 eived his Coun­ ty Court license at the September term of court in Salisbury, 1779 That fall Davie went at the request of the Governor to the courts on the Holston river, then in tiie northwestern part of this State Two motives seem to have prompted the State Executive in sending Davie into that sec­tion: First, he was to ascertain public sentiment toward the cause of freedom; and second, he was well equipped to cre­ ate and foster patriotic sentiments among a people rather far removed from the scenes of strife. In the following spring Davie was admitted as an attorney into the Superior courts. He now obtained per­ mission from the Legisleture to raise a troop of cavalry and two companies of in­ fantry, but the State’s treasury being em­ pty, the necessary funds could not be fur­ nished, and Davie sold the fine plantation on the Catawba inherited from his uncle, and equipped the command at his own expense. The revolution, abounding in examples of sacrifice to the cause of free­dom, furnishes no finer illustration of un­ selfish devotion to the patriotic cause than this tohen laid in love on the altar of his country by William R. Davie. For some time he and his command rendered the patriotic cause valuable aid by har- nssing the British and Tories along the boundary of the Carolinas. After march­ ing all night DavIe and hiscommandmis sed the battle of Ramsour's mill, near where Lincolnton now stands, one hour. On Aug. 5, 1780, Major Davie was one of the commanders at the battle of Hanging Rock, where the Patriots won a complete victory over the Tories, among whom was Col. Bryan from what is now Davie coun­ ty. Coi. Bryan is said to dave had some­ thing like six hundred tories under his command. But the victory of the Patriots left him very few after the battle. Pos­ sibly not more than one-third of the six hundred tories were from this immediate section, since the tory army had received recruits all the way from the hills of up­per Dutchmond creek in Davie county un­ til they crossed into South Carolina. A- cross the country io Hanging Rock, Davie had been 'Joided by two country boyi brothers, the younger of whom was only thirteen, destined to play a conspicuous part in the affairs of the ration for near­ ly half a century in peace and war—his name was Andrew Jackson. To his dying day Jackson said Davie was the finest soldier he ever met. In September, 1780, Davie was appointed a Colonel by the Governor for the Western district of North Carolina, and ordered to raise a regiment. His response was prompt and patriotic, and everywhere his presence inspired new courage to the fearful Carolinians be­ ing overrun by the British army. South Carolina had been subjugated and the British were now doing their best to in­vade North Carolina, and it may be truth­ fully said that one of the most serious barriers met was the Cavalrycommandfd by Davie. The victory won at King’s Mouhtain by the patriotic farmers from the hills of the Carolinas had been seen a«d largely inspired by the heroic vision of Davie. In December, 1870, Qen. Greene took command of the Southern army and he and Davie met for the first time. The resignation of Col. Thomas Polk left the Commissary department vacant. Feeding the army had become almost an impossi­bility. Col. Polk had so declared it. Gen. Greene was highly pleased with Davie and insisted on his succeeding Col. Polk. Brilliant prospects of honors in the field ' must be sacrificed in order to serve in the Commissary department, but on being convinced that he could serve the country to better advantage at such a crilijal time, Davie yielded to fill a position that promised trials but no trophies personally. The constant and heaw demands upon the State’s treasury had long since drain­ ed it, and the fields had sent many of their plowmen to the bloodier fields of war. Davie had undertaken a difficult task indeed, but to it he summoned all his resources. The service he was to ren­ der called for promptness and skill, and while it was of primary importance to the army the heroism displayed in the man­ agement of the Commissary Department does not fill the brilliant pages of history. The suffering of the army of Green is pro­ verbial in the history. of North Carolina caused by the scarcity of the necessaries of life and the presence of a hostile army pillaging and devastating that part of the country through which it passed. When we for a moment think of the" condition of Green's army and that at that crisis he turned to Davie to secure meat and bread for a starving army, and if possible cloth­ ing for men dying from exposure to the winter's bitter cold, we can begin to ap­ preciate the high compliment paid this soldier already famuus as a commandcr and fighter. He had come to a herculean task and the success must have surpassed the possibilities of a less qualified officer. Davie was present at the battle of Guil­ford Court house, and though not a com­manding officer, is said to have rendered invaluable service by his presence and encouragement. Born valor and acquired skill made his presence valuable on any battlefield. He spent this most trying winter with the army and came as a con­fidential messenger from Gen. Green to the Legislature to ask for men and means. Grants were made which necessitated Col. Davie's remaining in the State, assum­ ing the position of Commissary-General. In this capacity he served the State until the close of the war. Early in 1783, Da­ vie resumed the practice of law, married the daughter of General Allen Jones, of Northhampton county, and settled in the town of Halifax. Halifax was the princi­pal seat of government at the time. The State had seven judicial districts. The Superior courts were held for each dis­ trict at only one place in the district. To all of these courts CoL Davie is said to have gone except one and that was Mor- ganton. He was a fine lawyer and popu­ lar with the people, and the old records show that in many of these courts Davie appeared in every case on one side or the other. No man possibly in the whole his­ tory of the State ever enjoyed a finer prac­tice or brought to his clients greater skill in the management of their cases. When Col. Bryan, the Tory commander was tried in Salisbury with several others for treas­on, Col. Davie was one of the lawyers who defended them. Thev were convicted and sentenced but afterwards pardoned. Itis worthy of note that Col. Davie had often crossed sword« with the notorious Tory leader and had literally killed out his fol­ lowers at the battle of Hanging Rock, then he defended Bryan and doubtless saved his neck, but stranger still that possibly some of the old Col's descendents seventy years later when Rowan county was divi­ ded named their county to honor and per­ manently perpetuate the memory and distinguished services of the man whose valor on the field, intuition and shrewd judgment in the forests harassed, put to flight and prepared for burial in soldiers graves, at least some of their ancestors. Truth is stranger than fiction. Among his law students were some of the most dis­ tinguished jurists the state has produced. Col. Davie was one of the delegates from N. C. to frame the Federal Constitution in Philadelphia in May, 1787. Col. Davie cast his vote after a long debate on the question giving the States equal represen­tation in the United States Senate. In the convention the vote had been a tie and was referred to a committee of one from each State. Davie was the commit­tee from the N. C. delegation, and then cast his vote for each state to have two Senators in the U. S. Senate, and so he really cast the deciding vote. He was one of the strongest friends for the adoption of the Federal constitution by the State, and helped secure its adoption In 1786 Davie secured a charter for Warrenton Academy. He served in the House of Commons from 1786 to 1798. Davie was the real founder of the University of N. C., and is justly styled the “Father of the University.” Col. Davie was elected the third Grand Master or the Grand Master of the Grand Lodge of Masons of N. C., which office he held for seven years. In 1794, Davie was commissioned a Major General for service in case of war. On Dec. 4, 1798, Gen. Davie was elected Gov. of the State over Benjamin Williams and was inaugurated on the 7th. He served less than one year resigning on the IOth of Sept. 1799, to accept an appointment tendered him by President Adams to treat with the French Directory. Private inter­ests now claimed and received his atten­ tion. He served as trustee of the Univer­ sity from its fsunding until after he left the State, gnd as such helped select a site superintend the buildings, select a faculty and prepare a course of study, while as tne Grand Master of the Grand Lodge of Masons he officiated in laying the corner stone of two buildings. In the fall of 1805 he removed from North Carolina ti Trivo- li, in S. C., to a fine estate he owned op­ posite Mecklenburg county in this State. Here General Davie lived a retired life amid scenes indelibly impressed upon his mind by conflict and cariiage with British soldiers and Tory scoundrels. He organ­ized the first Agricultural Society of S. C., and was the first president. Ripe with years, rich in experience, polished in mind and manners, distinguished no less as a gentleman and host than .as a warrior, and statesman, Gen. Davie was visited by the jurists, scholars, ministers andstates- men of the Caroiinas and Georgia, where all were entertained according to the cus­ tom of the gentlemen of the old schooL Gen. Davie died in the 65th year of his age, on Nov. 20,1820, and was laid to rest in the burying ground of the Waxhaw church in Lancaster county, S. C. Almost a genius in school, a patriot in peace and a hero in war, a gentleman at all times, Gan. Davie was one of the founders of this great Republic. He took high rank among the great men.of his day.

Mauy people from a dialaucc came Wednesday, aud all the balance came Thursday. A nd iu order that all would gel here, they began coming iu l»y sunrise. It will go down in history as be­ ing the largest assemblage of peo­ ple ever attending the picnic of any year up to that time. The crowd was estimated at from 7,000 to 8,000. And despite the heat and dust, the people generally seemed to enjoy themselves. The amusement and refreshment stands were well patronized, and the gate receipts were larger than ever be­ fore. The amount realized will be between $1,200 and $1,500. So Iar as beard, there was only one instance of unpleasantness, in which one young man was shot, a statement of which appears else where. There were two or three little fights, but no one hurt badly. But for John Barleycorn, the shoot­ ing would not have occurred. All regret this and everybody hopes the one doing the shooting will be found and justly punished. But this sad event was overshadowed by hundreds ot pleasant events, the meeting of long absent friends and many acts of kidness, showing that the good outnumbers the bad over five hundred per cent. The main feature of the day was the speaking and exercises by the orphans. The spoaker of the day was Governor Aycock, He has few equals as a speaker, and is very popular in this county among his brethren and political friends, many of whom already call him Senator. While it’s not our busi­ ness, yet the Governor is as pure and clean a man ior Senator as the Democrats have in the State, or rather, who is able and willing to pay the.price to even make the present race. He was very appro­ priately introduced by Hon. T. B, Bailey. No man has or can take more interest in the orphanage work in the State than Mr. Bailey. And the people all know his sin­ cerity in the matter, and hence, greatly enjoyed his introduction as well as the Governor’s speech. The speeches, songs and recita­ tions rendered by the class from the Oxrord Orphanage, was very good, and were listened to with rapt attention by all who could se­ cure seats or even standing room in hearing distance. The dinner, which was served about I o’clock, consisted of many good things, too tedious to mention, and those who did not partake, missed a great treat. The Winston band furnished the music, and did it to the delight of all. The members of the baud were faithful and did their part to make the occasion a success in the way- of good, first-class music. The railroad officials did their part in furnishing trains sufficient to bring and carry the hundreds of people, doing it so well that no accident occurred to any one. At night, hundreds again at tended. A chapter of well trained children and young ladies of the Orphanage, gave a delightinl en­ tertainment, consisting of songs, recitations, drills, etc. Those who were close enough to hear it all were very highly pleased. Thus one of the most profitable and en­ joyable picnics ever seen in the State came to a close. You can’t beat Mocksville and our people when it comes to know­ ing how to do good and give all the folks a good time.

Saturday, Aug. 12, it was the- writer's great pleasure to attend good roads meeting at the on sleepy old village of Jerusalem. Mr. W. R. Craig, a gentleman o wealth from New York City, has' leased the home place of the Iale S. J. Tatum, and is now repairing the houses, putting on paint, build­ ing kennels and lots for his dogs, and has already waked up the vil­ lage and aroused the people of the entire township to the important) of good roads. Mr. Craig is leas­ ing the land of nearly everybody iu Jerusalem township, paying the State and county taxes for the pri­ vilege of hunting quail. Saturday Mr. Craig met with the citizens of Jerusalem township and made one of the most liberal and generous offers that has ever been heard of. His proposition briefly was this: It is 3 miles from -the village of Jerusolem to South river —the Eowan county line—and Mr. Craig proposed to pay $1,500 to build a sand-clay road to the river, or half of the cost ol construction connecting with the Rowan road, which leads to Salisbury. He * not stop at that, but. /opposed to get 6ome road, iiaeliiuery and al­ low it to be used free ot charge in building good roads anywhere in Jerusalem township, and more—he offered to give enough money to give each publicschool in the town ship a term of eight months, with the exception of the school at Coo­ leemee, which alreeuy has an 8 months term. The acceptance by the people of Jerusalem township of this gener­ ous offer means a line road to the river, and an 8 months school in every district In the township, thus putting it ahead of every township in this county; yea, ahead of any rural township in the State of North Carolina. “There is a tide in the affairs of men, which taken at its flood leads on to fortune.’’ The flood-tide has reached old Jerusalem—the writ­ er’s boyhood home—and he hopes his friends will meet the generosity of Mr Craig in a true spirit, and he ventures the prediction that the half of the good things awaiting them has not been told. The ouly condition attached to this proposition was that the road must be completed by December, of this year. Mr. H. B. Yarner, of Lexington, was present and delivered an earn­ est appeal for good road's, after which a township organization was perfected, and officers elected, and Mr. John C. Charles, presinent of the township organization, got busy ahd started a private subscription to meet the township’s half of the expense in building the road. The building of the road %ill be tne entering wedge and means much for old Davie, one of the fin­ est agricultural counties iu Pied­ mont North Carolina. Mocksville was well represented and Rowan comity showed her in­ terest in her daughter on this side the Yadkin by sending some of her citizens to the meeting. The writ­ er had never met Mr. Craig until Saturday. He impresses you as a practical business mau who makes no effort at show or display. He does things. Here’s hoping that ol^Mt»asa Iem will meet him half way. and do her part willingly and extend to the stranger who has offered her so much a welcome worthy of- no­ ble tires. Opportunity is knocking at the door, will it not be opened wide? Mr. T.

Excitement a Remedy for Chills. TheStatesvilte Lantlmarkhas a new remedy for chills given it by one of its subscribers, Mr. Corne- Ilqg Kesler. The Landmark says: ./Passing the time of day, Mr. tester said he had been threatened with chills but bad so far escaped. He had observed the several reme­ dies for chills, printed in The Land­ mark recently, and told of a new remedy, which bad effected cures in two cases. The remedy is excite ment. Chills, yon know, appear on certain days, with painful re­ gularity, when they get a good hold. A lady in Mr. Kesler’s fa­ mily was a victim of chills. The day before the chill was due she became greatly interested in certain domestic duties which were to be performed next day, and so great was her interest that she forgot the chill and the chill failed to appear. Another case of which Mr, Kes- Ier heard is a more striking illus­ tration of the effectiveness of ex citement as a chill cnre. A citizen of East Monbo was “chilling,” as they say, and the day his chill was dne he got into a fight. As a re suit he bad no chill and has had none since. The lesson is, if you are a victim of chills, get excited; have a row with somebody, or do something to make you forget the chill and the chill will forget you An ordinary case of diarrhoea can. as a rule, be cured by a single dose of Cham­ berlain's Colic, Cholera and Karrhoea Re­ medy. This remedy has no superior for bowel complaints. For sale by all dealers. Wise and Otherwise. If you would have others think well of you, set an example by think­ ing well of yourself. You can’t convince a girl that any man she admires isn’t in the hero class. People who are always trying to be somebody else’ succeed in being no­ body at all. Always give a little more than you promise, but never promise too much.Always put off to-night what vou are going to put on in the morning. Each mother thinks she has the dearest baby in the world, and, as a matter of fact, none is cheap. The elephant is the most powerful of beasts, but the jack-ass has him beat a block—on noise. The fact that a man doesn’t call you a liar, is not proof that he be­lieves all that you are saying. Accused of Stealing. E. E. Chamberlain, of Clinton, Me., bold­ly accuses Bucklen’s Arnica Salve of steal­ing—the sting from bums or scalds—the pain from soees of all kinds—the distress from boils or piles: “It robs cuts, corns, bruises, sprains and injuries of their ter­ror,” he says, “as a healing remedy its equal don't exist.” Only 25c. at C. C. Sanford's. Judge Allen's Charge. Judge Oliver H. Allen in hia charge to the graud jury at the re­ cent session of Durham Superior Court made some remarks that go to the root of a great evil. He said “One of the most fruitful sources of crime is neglected childhood. A mistake that we are making is in allowing the children of the com­ munity to develop into criminals because we neglect them and turn our attention too much to the pun­ ishment of crime that is already committed. A little investigation discloses the fact that these chil­ dren become criminals because of neglect. I want yon at this term of court to determine it there are any orphans or neglected children in the county. If yon should find such neglected children it is your duty to report the matter to the clerk of court and homes will be found for them.” Glory to Judge Allen! We have been reading long lectures by the Judges and by others bewailing the prevalence of crime among the boys of the streets, but this is the first instance we recall in which a judge instructs bis grand jury to go after these neglected children and bring them under better influ­ ences. There is no use for the jury to say that the thing can not bo done for it ean be. If the children are discovered be*ter places for them will be found. It is up tothegrand jury of every county in the State to perform their duty in this mat­ ter and the rest will be easy. Judge Allen put his Anger on the sore spot in our civilization. A large part of the crime with which the courts have to deal is directly traceable to our own neglect of the children whose parents are incom petent or vicious themselves. If they refuse to perform a parent’s part, or if there be no parents to direct the child, it becomes the duty of the State to step in and Biirrouud theyouthfulsinner with a better environment. The day is breaking fast. We are coming to see how we have suffered because of our neglect of the chil­ dren of mistortune.—Charity & Children. Much to Be Thankful Foi. NewtonNews.

Highest in Eleven Years. Keplies from 1,945special corres­ pondences of The Journal of Com­ merce and Commercial Bulletin of an-average date of July- 23 make the percentage condition of cotton 36,9, the highest in the eleven years of Ihe special reports of this paper. This compares with 85.9 percent a month ago, or a rise of I point and 7.7 points above the ten-year average of 79.2, As a rule reports were of a highly satisfactory nature and it is only in Horth Carolina, Mississippi, Louisiana and Okla­ homa that cotton has lost from its high condition of last month. The deterioration in Louisana was 5.6 points, where too much rain and the fear of boll weevil caused con­ siderable apprehension; the other Btates suffered but little.

Poor Old Fido. Hear the Charlotte Chronicle: Why should a measly Cur have any more right on a public street than a fat, juicy pig, or a sheep, or a calf? If people are fond of dogs they should keep them at home and confined just as they do their cats, chickens and other pets and utility animals. The proposition is a sound one. Dogs have no more right to run at large than pigs and calves; and there is just as much reason for one who fancies a pig or a calf to make a pet of them and have them follow him about the streets and ride on street cars and on trains, as for the dog owner to do this. The senti­ ment against the unrestrained dog is growing. The man who fancies the dog is welcome to the dog; but he has no sort of right to inflict the dog on others who regard its pres enoe as a nusiance. Let him keep company ,-with the dog and sleep with it if he wishes, but deny him the right to force the company 01 his dog on others.—Statesville Landmark. Attack Like Tigers. In fighting to keep the blood pure the white corpuscles attack disease germs like tigers. But often germs multiply so fast the little fighters are overcome.

Facts are Stubboro Things. “One fact stands out in the con­ troversy between Governor Kitchin and the News & Observer and Messrs, Lockhart and Misenheimer. and that is, that not a single trust has been hurt by the alleged anti-truat law enacted by the legislature of 1909, which Governor Kitchin defended in his speech at Spray in the last cam­ paign. Iftherewas any merit, in the law, surely Solicitor Graves or Solicitor Gattis, whose districts em­ brace the bright tobacco belt, would have involked its provisions against the tobacco trust are this.” It will take a lot of explaining to nullify the force of that argument.—Webster’s Weekly.

NOKTH CAROLINA. WEDNESDAY. AUGUST 23. 1911 NUMBER 7 ■----------------------------------------------------------------------------------—................................................................ ......~•------------------------------------------------------------------ Lecture on Laziness. Sow is a good time to get lazy. The weather is just right. A man who can’t get lazy now is not built righ-t, or else he’s after the al mighty dollar or it is after him. Bome people get lazy earlier in the season than this, but they ought not to do it, for their crops get lazy-but I never knew one to get too lazy to dig fish-woims all forenoon in order to get to go fish­ ing in the afternoon. When a boy gets too lazy to play he usually needs a good dose of physic. With some people laziness, is a disease; with others it is aim ply a pastime. Laziness of long Btdnding becomes chronic and is bard to cure. Some peopleinherit laziness, and when they get it that way it is born and bred in the bone and the flesh and is incurable. People who neter get lazy are gen­ erally irritable, petulant and of a sour disposition. It takes a certain amount of lazi­ ness to sweeten one’s temper and make him contented, but too much of it is worse than not enough. La­ ziness may become a habit, and, if indulged in to excess, results in a disease which requireBConstitution- al treatment. A good treatment for children under fifteen years of age is the application of a two year-old Hic­ kory sprout from one to three times a day, according to the gra­ vity of the complaint and the tem­ per of the patient. Adults should be put on a diet, consisting solely of cold water taken internally and externally until the patient, is able to go to work. The - best way to make the external ap­ plication is with the hose. A modern amount of laziness is healthy. It is like taking a sun- bath on a frosty morning; it feels good. But great care should be taken not to contract the habit. The fire shauld not be allowed to go out or the steam to run down too low. Some people don’t stop - the machine at all; they shift the beltB to another pulley and play golf or baseball, or go hunting or fi&hing. This is a very good way. Ii relieves the strain, but does not rest the body like a good dose of laziuess. It is claimed by some that I ness is “catching,” or contagious. Your Uncle Toby thinks so too He has seen nearly a whole town afflicted with it at the same time. Bat when one member of the family has it, it don’t always spread to the other members of the same fa­ mily. Iknow thatby experience - when I was a boy and was attack- eduwith violent spells of laziness my mother> always got busy. SEe used a small limb off of a perch tree and generally succeeded in preventing the spread of the dis­ ease. to other members of the fam­ ily.' Laziness is not a painful disease to the one who has it, but it some* times hurts his family, which his- Jaziness prevents him from support ing. It gives them a pain in the stomach and causes them to suffer for want of clothing. A good piece of tough cow-hide laid judiciously, assiduously, forcibly and persist­ ently across the bare back of such a man is about the only effective remedy. It should be applied by his kindhear£ed neighbors, and persisted In until the patient re covers. Laziness as a disease should be carefully guarded against. Al though it is not particularly' dan- ladies have been trying to bring him out where the public could see him by baking cakes and offering them as a reward for the laziest man at their church fairs aud fes­ tivals. Tbey have stimulated com­ petition by selling votes atsomuch per vote, which entitled the pur­ chaser to vote for whoever in his opinion the laziest man. But this plan, although it has been tried for forty years, has failed. The laziest man is too lazy to bustle for himself and he has no friends to hustle for him. A more euterprising lazy man carried away the prize and eats the oake, for no man has ever yet been found that was too lazy to eat. While the a- bove plan is a failure, so far as lo­ cating the laziest man is concerned it possesses some points which commended it to the public. It induces the sinners to part with some of their shekels for the sup­ port of the church and the heathen, Possibly that is what the good mothers and daughters in Israel intend it for. Surely they must know that the best hustler and his friends will ‘‘take the cake,” and if given the opportnuity wili also rake in what “cold pie is left on the dump.”—UncleToby in Home and Farm. it is undesirable in a comi,g|rouB, m unity. It seldom proves fatal al though there Are cases on record wtiere menhaVe just lazied them selves to deati. : : Your Unclei Toby has always hoped that the laziest man would be found before the North Pole was discovered. But wehave located the Korth Poli and the lazy man yet remains in the dark and mys­ tic realms of the unknown. The Snakes Swallow Cow’s HornsJ Anonymous. If you could have seen the bulge of Sheriff Duldey’s eyea when one of his cows came home with a large black SLake dangling from each horn, you would have seen almost as great a sight as that of the snakes. The sheriff runs a large dairy and has a number of cows. One of them is an old cow with extra long, slender horns and this was the cow that brought in the snakes which had evidently attempted to swallow her horns, making a par­ tial success, though still a fatal failure. . An after-thought presented a possible solution. That was about the following: That morning thiB cow bad gored an old rooster that persisted in eating with her. That left the smell of chicken on her horns. Some black snakes are ex tra fond of chicken. Therefore, finding the smell of chicken in the air, the snakes proceeded to in veBtigate, tracing it to the cow, which must have been lying down asleep, when they mistook her horns for something akin to chick en and proceeded with the swallow­ ing act. Each snake took a separ ate horn. When the swallowing act had been* so far completed that the snakes' mouths reached the cow’s bead, there was a halt and owing to the formation of snakes’ mouths, especially for the swallow­ ing act, there wa& no escape for the ^nakes but to Btay there and die. There must have been considerable squirming and a scared cow, though she was apparently unconscious of her unusual adornment when she reached home that evening. They had to be cut off the cow’s horns. The snakes were evidently mates and iu death they were nigh to­ gether. Particnlarly Pointed. The drought in the South has been broken—Alabama-and Texas have voted "wet.” Beforehewas elected Governor, Kitchin promised to put the trusts behind the bars. The News and Observer says that Governor Kitchin has been “asleep at the switch.” And, so has the party that he represents—look out for the wreck. Govornor Kitchin doesn’t believe that the News, and Observer can fool- the VOters4-Well, Mr. Kitchin should see that he doesn’t aid the Newsand Observer in trying to fool them a- gain. Astaffcorrespondent ofthe New York Sun says that the majority of the Representatives from North Ca­ rolina are engaged in smothering prosperity. Thatisputtingit in a concise form,—Raleigh Caucasian, Farmers* Union Picnic. E ditob B ecobd:—The Farmers’ Union picnic held at Center July 28th, was a great success. Com­ pared with 1910, there were twice as many in attendance, and the best of order prevailed. In the forenoon, Mr. J. Z. Green, State Organizer, made a fine address, in­ terspersed with originality and jokes. In tjie afternoon Dr. Alex­ ander, State President, delivered a fine speech, showing the import­ ance of education and co-operation among the farmers. It is imposs­ ible for me iu this short article to attempt a resume of either of these speeches. The writer is in entire sympathy with any and all move­ ments intended to uplift and im­ prove the conditions of the farm­ ers, and for that matter all trades and vocations. In the United States, the agricultural interest has a greater effect on the prosperity of the entire nation than all other trades and vocations. Business in midsummer seems to wait lor the report ou the condition of the crops, and a j soon as a great yield is as sured, things begin to open up, and the wheels of industry hum. The laborer and wage-earner shares with the rest the succesB of the farmer, for if crops are short and prices abnormally high, he finds it hard to provide food in plenty for hiB family, and; not only does the high price affect his purchasing power, but short hourB, curtail­ ment and shut downs generally follow the short crop. These con­ ditions which are and have . been in the past impressed upon the minds of our people of all voca­ tions, should make us all the friend and well-wisher of the farmer. I hear, Mr. Editor, that these spee­ ches have been criticised by some, for the reason I presume, that the great and central thought of both speeches, was organization, co-op- eration for mutual benefits. Now- I am aware that our farmer friends have got to be careful, and not do that which they condemn in the trusts and combiner, but it makes the greatest difference from what viewpoint one looks at these ques­ tions. The law recognizes the rights of labor unions, trade associations, mercantile,' manufacturers and pro­ fessional organizations lor mutual protection, and the advancements of their several interests, then why should any one object to the farm­ ers doing the same? Is it any more of a-crime for the farmers to de­ mand a fair price for their pro­ ducts, than for'the laborers to de­ mand a fair and living price for their labor, the manufacturer for his wares, the merchants for their goods and the'professional men for their services? Is It right for the doctors, dentists and lawyers in each county to organize and fix schedules of fees and demand these fixed fees of all comers? If so, why Bhould netthefarmers unite-and decide that they shall have a fair and reasonable price for their oats, wheat, corn and other products! Bave the laborers and wage earn ers a right to organize, their unions and fix a scale of hours and wages, and refuse to work unless they get their demands? . If bo, why not the tillers of the soil? ITow let’s look at these organizations and unions from each one’B viewpoint, and see if there is a right and a wrong side to each. TheIaborer says he is entitled to a sufficient wage to pro­ vide self and family with a com fortable home, and wholesome rat- ions. Anj thing wrong iu that? The manufacturer says he is enti (led to such a price for his pro ducts as will keep up his plant, and pay all fixed charges, and give him’ a reasonable profit on his in­ vestment. - Nothing wrong in that, is there? The doctor, dentist and attorney'say that they are entitled to such fees as will bring 10 them a home and living. Notbing wrong there. TheinerchantsaystheBame. Then wherein does the farmer of­ fend' above: all others in organizing for like, purposes? The critic’s viewpoint is.-out of order, hisfocus is wroug,'he sees onesided; with him its always “I'll take the turk ey and you take the buzzard, dr you take the buzzard and I’ll take i^e the farmer goes bntialiio^ig^fnefunion laborers and wantf to hire&ome to work on the farm and isrfbld the hours and the wages he is to paj, it does not al ter the. case, if ,the farmer knows that he will lose money to pay the price, for it’s pay the price or no work. Ic does not'make any 'dif- fereneilto the union miner when he goes on # strike, whether you have any coal in the cellar to cook your meals, or keep you from freezing in mi4 winter^ he must, have his price. The merchant says come across at so much per bag for his flour, be ye ever so hungry. Death may be knocking at the door, but the doctor’s price is fixed. Your to.oth may be decaying or aching to kill, but so much per tooth is fixed, and the gallows may be looming np before you, a jail sen­ tence or the roads, butthelanyer’s fee is fixed. You may go to the banks for a loan to save your home from sale, but you pay the fixed rate or yon get no money. You may have a few hundred to loan, yon take what Ihe banks have agreed to give, which is always less than you have to pay, for the rates are fixed, but when the far­ mer goes to market with his pro­ duce, it’s take what they will give or haul it back home. Is it alto­ gether right? Is it?1 There is a right, and there is a wrong. May we all be able to see both, and do that which is right. Equity and justice should be our guides al­ ways. And in the language of the poet: “Oh, would some power the gift to give us, to see ourselves as otherB see us, it would from many a blunder tree us,” etc. M. ^ FOR THE BEST VALUES IN J Men’s and Boy’s Clothingand Furnishings J VISIT S % Mock-Bagby-Stockton Co., J ^ “Same Price to AU” 418 Trade Street 1CK J WINSTON-SALEM, N. C. g The Liar’s Club. A crowd of loafers at the country store got to talking about echoes and Jim Sanders said down where he was born and raised there was an echo, and he used to put it to a peculiar use. He said that every night before he went to bed he would put his head out of the window and sav: “Jim Sandees! Seven o’clock; time to get up!” He would start the echo going, and next morning just at seven o'­ clock it would get back and say: “Jim Sandersi Seven o’clock; time to get up!” Deacon Witherspoon said he did not know much about echoes, but he had seen it rain about as hard as anybody ever saw it rain. Somebody said: “Deacon, how hard did you ever see it rain?” ■ ‘Well’ sir," said the Deacon, ‘ ‘once upon a time, when I was at home, we had an old cider barrel lying in the yard with both ends out and the bung hole up, and, would you be­ lieve it, it rained so hard into that bung-hole that the water couldn't run out at both ends fast enough and it swelled up and busted.” That was pretty good for the Dea­ con. Reuben Henry said he had never seen it rain very hard, but he had seen some mighty cold weather. Somebody said: “Rube, how cold did you ever see it get?” He said: “Well, sir, when I was living down in Pickaway county, at hog-killing time, we had a kettle of boiling water setting on the stove out in the yard, and that ^iater froze so doggon quick that the ice was hot!”—Ex. Seems To Have Us Treed. Recently Editor Stroud, of the Mocksville Record, made bold to assert that Gen. W. R. Davie was next Governor of North Carolina, the assertion of Wheeler’s history to the contrary notwithstanding. Here is something that will interest Mr. Stroud. A lady examining old records in the register of deeds office in Statesville, a few days ago found in Deed Book C. page 645, a deed registered May, 1800, which concluded as lollows: “ Witness, Wm. R. Davie, Esq., our Governor Captain General and Commander in-chief, at Raleigh, in the 23d year of our independence.’’ The deed was dated 1799, aud of course Davie was governor at that time, for this record shows it.

If the people will get together an as­ sociation can be organized. William J. Bryan is making an in­ vestigation and says he will find the right man for president. It would be funny if he would accidentally name himself. The street car line between Salis­ bury and Concord is to be in opera­ tion by Feb. I, 1912. Don’t know when the car line will be built from Salisbury to Mocksville. Governors Wilson and Harmon are both spending considerable money in furthering their presidential booms. They should first consult Billy Bryan and find out if he will permit either of them to run. A gentleman has been trying to convince Editor Clark, of ithe. Land­ mark, that in 42 years the taxes will eat up all the property. There are but few newspaper men whom high taxes effect. The old blue back speller finds no place in the list of school books to be used in this State, which means that the children of the State are go­ ing to be deprived of one of the best spellers ever used. We have added many new names to our subscription books in the past tiiirty days, but there are still a few people in the county who are not taking The Record. These few are missing a treat, and should bring or send in their subscriptions at once if they wish to keep abreast of the times and learn what their county is doing. The Record publishes more county news than either of its com­ petitors. Hon. K. P. Battle has put us in a hole in regard to Governor Psvie. Lastyear the Charlotte Observer published a list of all the governors of North Carolina since the State was founded, and the name of Davie does not appear on that list. At the beginning of the article, an explana­ tion was given, saying that the list was accurate, having been corrected by Hon. K. P. Battle. Was Mr. Bat­ tle wrong then, or is he wrong now? We leave the answer with him. He got us into trouble, and its up to him to get us out. SmithGrove News.

Mr. Craig of Jerusalem. ^ BealIy he is .from New Yorkand has hitherto been a human atom in that sea walled city, but those Ob Bferver readers who read the Mocks­ ville special yesterday • will agree that henceforth he sholl be Mr. Craig of Jercsaiem. Howor why ti'ld aud irrelevant portion of the story; the main thing is that he is there and is causing the Jerusalem­ ites to rise early and sit up late discussing his unprecedented en­ ergy and generosity in that part of the earth. Mr. Craig routed desir­ able property in Jerusalem, as any man of means and leisure and wanting a quid'pro quo for his money might well do. He im­ proved the property to suit his tasts and convenience, and then leased all the adjoining lands for quail hunting. Mr. Craig does uot belong io the turtle family, bo he did not withdarw to the privacy ol' his ample shell. On the con­ trary he is a gregarious human be ing and proceeded forthwith to cultivate his new neighbois and estsblish himself on a Gibralter foundation in their regard and af lections. He had a mess-meeting called and proposed to give $1,500 to build a sand-clay road the three miles from Jerusalem to South river, if those interested would bear the other half of the expense aud complete the work by Decem­ ber, Mr. Craig of Jerusalem is imbued with the ‘‘Do-it-now” spi rit and wants to enjoy some of the luxurious necessities of modern life while he is still among men. On top of this generous proposition Mr. Craig of Jerusalem further manifested his progressiveness by agreeing to give the funds necessa ry to afford each school in the town­ ship a term of eight montns. This looks almost as smooth and easy as the sudden-rich dream of a tramp in a picture show. In fact, Mr Ci aig of Jerusalem sounds almost too good to be true, but we trust not, especially as the people 'take seriously. Do not think this is all for Mr. Craig announced his inten­ tion to purchase road machinery and allow it to be used free oi charge anywhere in Jetusalem township in building good roads. Catching the spiritof the newcomer Mr. Terrill of the Erwin cotton mill profffered the use of his^rock crusher and road roller, and pro­ bably others may fall victims to the improvement contagion and m ite to make Jerusalem the toast wherever tribute is paid to village beauty and countryside adornment Would that every township in every county in the Old North State could acquire a Mr, Craig of Jeru­ salem.—Charlotte Observer, 15th. this wealthy New Yoriter happen- 1 ed down sn Davie county-*.*0. JMirIbuidWsrf Wfiiw/p-. A Good Woman Gone. It is with sorrow that we are called upon to chronicle the death of Mrs. M, R. ChaflBn, which oc­ curred at hef home in this city on Thursday night, Aug. 17th, at 11 o’clock. Mrs. ChafiBn had been in feeble health for many months, having been stricken with blind­ ness a year or two ago, from which time she had been getting weaker and weaker. She bore her suffer­ ing with Christian fortitude and never complained. She was a con­ sistent member of the Methodist church, having been couverted and joining the church 51 years aga. The funeral services were conduct­ ed at the home Friday afternoon at 4 o’clock by her pastor, Rev. B Margeson, after whieh the body was laid- Io rest in Eose cemetery to await the resurrection morn. The large number who attended the burial service show the high esteem in which this good woman was held, her friends being num­ bered by the score. Mrs, Chaffin was 73 years of age, aud leaves a husband, one son and four -daugh­ ters, besides-- many relatives: and friends. The children who sur­ vive are: Thos K. ChaflBn, of this city, Mrs, Sam Holton,- of Durham, Mrs. Bruce Craven, of North Wilkesboro, Mrs. J. \V.

This piece of good road is going to work wonders for Davie "county. The people are going to build more good roads when this, section is completed. Prbgress In Old Davie. Mt. H. B. Varner, who addressed a mass meeting of the citizens of Jerusalem town­ ship, Davie county. Saturday. afternoon August 12th. returned home .delighted with the result of the meeting, which was a great success from the standpoint Of education as weil as better.highways. He said that Davie county, while not solarge as many of the counties of the state, it is one of' our best agricultural' counties. While the county hasn’t made the prp- gress that a great many counties have made, it has made considerable progress along educational and agricultural lines. There is not a foot of macadam or other surfaced road in the county, except a small stretch, in the town of Cooleemee. Jerusalem township is one of the' very best townships in the county and has a Sne citizenship and its soil is capable of producing almost anything. Recently Mr. William R. Craig, a big ’ hearted, broad minded gentleman, a native of Vicksburg, Mississippi, who now lives in New York, and is connected with the Cotton Exchange, in looking around for a good place to rest, leased the home place ot t-ie-late S. J. Tatum and is repairing - and p;.inting the houses, building dog ken­ nels, etc. The result is that the ancient Villpsre of Jerusalem is having an awaken­ ing and the people of the township have become interested in good roads. It is understood that Mr. Craig has leased the hunting privilige of 25,000 acres of land in Davie, Davidson and Rowan counties. He, of course, being a progressive, man, is interested in good roads and in order to have a road for the people of that town­ ship from Jerusalem to South River,' Mt. Craig made a proposition Saturday that if the citizens 01 the township would build a sand clay road for a distance of three miles from South'River to Jerusalem that he would pay haif the expens and furnish road graders and other machinery for the • building of . this road and any other, roads that the people, of the township desire to build. He also proposed to thase people if they would build and complete this roacl by December 1st, before bad weather set in, that he would make an appropri­ ation sufficient to increase the school term in every school district in Jerusalem town­ ship to eight months in the year. The citizens present accepted this proposition unanimously with great enthusiasm and are now at work raising the money to build their part of the three miles of road which will cost from $3,000 to $3,600. The building of this piece of road is of vital importance to every man, woman and child in that township, because it means the annual appropriation of about $800. per year, so that every public school in the township will run eight months in the year instead of four. Of course, this means great things for Jerosalem township and Davie county. This object lesson road of three miles will be an incentive to the balance of Davie county and it is our prediction that it will-only be a few years until the good people of Davie county will vote a bond issue sufficient to build anet work of good roads in every nook and cor­ ner of that county.—Lexington Dispatch.

M any of the cotton, mill m en cam e o u t in public lettersstatin g th at they did not d esire: pretection for their products. These letters, of course, werfe w ritten for political effect and th eir authors had no idea th a t their p arty would be placed in position to rem ove the duty on cotton and its products, and felt th a t the Republic­ ans would control the House and would save their industry from ruin. Now , th a t Congress is about to do th e very thing which they claimed should be done, they are raising a kick. A m an asked us a few days ago w hy the D em ocrats w ere going back on the m en who elected them . We •replied by giving him the answ er m ade to this sam e question by the Hendersonville Times; th a t the Dem­ ocrats fe lt sure of the vote of the South, regardless of their record, w hile they fe ltth a t to disturb N orth­ ern interests would cause them to. lose th e votes of D em ocrats in the N orth. This is one of the points th a t Mr. M cNinch em phasized in his cam ­ p a ig n :' The people, however, w ent to the polls and cast their ballots for a D em ocrat, trusting a t the same tim e th a t the Republicans would re­ tain control of the house.

So long as -we allow party ties to bind us we m ay expect to suffer a t the hands of the N ational law m aking body. No section can hope for very m uch when the people of th a t section are de- -m anding nothing.

As there is a very little news this dry, hot weather. perhapsThe Landmark would not consider it an imposition upon its readers if a little space be given to make note of some observations of things tliat have taken place and are now taking place and are about to come to pass. First, I observe that, according to news­ paper reports, there has been going on in North Carolina for the past two months a farce and a high-handed violation of the law in the way of property assessments. I will modify the statement by saying, if the law is to be construed to mean what it says, there has been no effort on the part of many assessors to obey the law. What “true value in money” means seems to carry to the public an entirely different idea when listing for taxation and when a sale is contemplated Will The Land­ mark kindly give its readers the benefit of the knowledge of what it understands the term to mean as used in the revenue act of North Carolina? I see that lands in Iredell are assed at a little more than an average of $8 the acre. Now I don’t suppose that there is a single farm in Iredell county that can be bought for twice or three times that price. The assessed value in Yadkin is about $8 the acre and I know that the selling price of lands in this county ranges from $15 to $50 the acre by tract. Iredell county people say that farms are cheaper in Yadkin than in Iredell. Comparing Iredell and Yadkin, it occurs to me that the State equalization board should either raise the valuation of Ire­ dell lands, or lower that of Yadkin. I observe, second, that three great, dis­ tinguished North Carolinians have actual­ ly publicly announced themselves as can­ didates for the UnitedStatesSenatewhen everybody knows and understands that W. W. Kitchin was nominated and elected Governor for the express purpose of being sent to the Senate at the expiration of his term, as Governor. It is entirely too late now for other candidates to announce themselves. The fact is, it is such an in gratitude to our “trust-busting” Governor that the people of North Carolina will be slow to forgive any man who dares to interfere with the previous arrangements. If it were possible for the opposition to the Governor’s candidacy for the Senate to assume any real strength or enlist in its ranks, we might be in danger of losing our Governor, for he has too much honor and modesty to sit as Governor over a people who would be so ungrateful as not to reward him for his great service in sav­ ing the credit of the State and bringing to onr rescue in time of great peril that mighty friend of the poor and oppressed the., nefactor of the downtrodden far­ mer of the South, the American Tobacco Company. . Surely the descendants of those "who raised the flag of liberty in this our native land” will not so far forget their sense of oblig*>tion to their great patriotic Governor, who has done so much for them as to fail to bestow upon him the little honor of electing him to the United States Senate. And then you know it would never do to break the family suc­ cession in office. Hov/ nice it will be for W. W. to take Senator Simmons’ place and Brother Claude to come right along and succeed Senator Overman. This geogra­ phical division that has been in practice here in Nortb Carolina in elccing Gover­ nors and Senators ought to be broken up, anyway. Siletus fallin-Iineand stop this joke about a senatorial contest, lest it may become too serious and our Gover­ nor is forced to say something which Js not his custom to do, for he of all men in public life today prefers to act ratherthan speak—M.

T h e doctrine of cover crops is no new th in g to readers of th e P ro gressive P arm er. Y ear after year we have preached it w ith all the em phasis a t our com m and, in sist­ ing again and again th a t th e soils of the South can never be brought up to th eir rig h tfu l fertility w hile they are left exposed to th e heavy w inter rains. W in ter exposure in ­ ju re s m uch S outhern laud m ore than do th e crops grow n in the sum m er; aud ju st as long as farm ­ ers take off th eir cotton and corn crops and leave th e lan d bare all w inter to be w ashed aw ay and to have the p lan t, foods leached out of it, ju s t th a t long will they find find th e task of building it up a h ard one, To have som ething grow ing on every possible acre of land during the w inter should be regarded as one of the very first rules of good farm ing in the.S ontii. I t is one of the essentials w hether you so re­ gard it. or not, b u t it will be- a w onderful aid to your own w eliare when you adm it the fact and act upon it, ” , T here has never been a tim e w here farm ers did not need these cover crops; b u t this year the need to p lan t them is unusually great. T he hay crop th is year is rem ark­ ably light; feed of all kinds is go­ ing to be scarce and high next spring, and. no farm er should m iss any opportunity to add to his su p ­ ply. I t is too late now to plant the sum m er grow ing legum es. T he w inter crops are th e only hope. So, th is year, not only for the lan d ’s sake but for the sake of your live stock, you shonld plant w inter cover crops on ju s t as m any acres as you possibly can. S outhern farm ers are very for­ tunate in th e g reat num ber of w in­ ter grow ing crops, they have to se­ lect from , and th is fall they should get th e full good out of every one of them . 'The legum es, of course, deserve first consideration—crim son clover bur clover, th e vetches, w ill all im prove the land and give some hay or pasture. C rim son clover is a splendid feed for cattle or hogs, and m ay safley be fed-to horses if cn t early; b u r clover will give good spriug pasture, and is splendid to sow ou a B erm uda sod; hairy vetch sowed w ith w heat or oats or rye, w ill m ake one of the b est-co v ers and gi ve a big yield of hay of the finest q u ality . . , T hen, there are th e w inter grains — w heat, oats, rye, barley— any of these sown early enough will pro­ tect the land d u rin g th e w inter and, if c n t a t th e rig h t stage, will m ake good hay.- R ye is probably the least valuable for hay, b u t ow­ ing to its hardiness an d th e late date a t w hich-it can be sow n, of m ost value as a cover crop. T u r­ nips and rape are not cpver crops, strictly speaking, b u t they can be m ade to aive som e protection to the land and a w hole lot of feed. P lan t them , too. In short, p lan t an y th in g th a t will give your fields a w inter coat of green. If one passes through a section in-the w inter and sees green lields on all sides, h e is like Iy to feel, somehow or other, th a t there are good farm ers in th a t sec­ tion and th a ti t is a good place to live. T his conclusion is m ore than likely to be rig h t, too. S o, we would urge you, M r. R eader, to have your fields green this w inter. Y ou have no idea how miicU if’w ill add to th e cheer­ fulness of th e landscape. N or have yon any idea how m uch it will add to the size of your crops next, year and to your general prosperity.

Now I don’t suppose that there is a single farm in Iredell county that can be bought for twice or three times that price. The assessed value in Yadkin is about $8 the acre and I know that the selling price of lands in this county ranges from $15 to $50 the acre by tract. Iredell county people say that farms are cheaper in Yadkin than in Iredell. Comparing Iredell and Yadkin, it occurs to me that the State equalization board should either raise the valuation of Ire­ dell lands, or lower that of Yadkin. I observe, second, that three great, dis­ tinguished North Carolinians have actual­ ly publicly announced themselves as can­ didates for the United StatesSenatewhen everybody knows anil understands that W. W. Kitchin was nominated and elected Governor for the express purpose of being sent to the Senate at the expiration of his tenn.as Governor. It is entirely too late now for other candidates to announce themselves. The fact is, it is such an in gratitude to our “trust-busting" Governor that the people of North Carolina will be slow to forgive any man who dares to interfere with the previous arrangements. K it were possible for the opposition to the Governor’s candidacy for the Senate to assume any real strength or enlist in its ranks, we might be in danger of losing our Governor, for he has too much honor and modesty to sit as Governor over a people who would be so ungrateful as not to reward him Jor his great service in sav­ ing the credit of the State and bringing to our rescue in time of great peril that mighty friend of the poor and oppressed th&. nefactor of the down-trodden far­ mer of the South, the American Tobacco Company. Surely the descendants of those “who raised the flag of liberty in this our native land” will not so far forget their sense of obligation to their great patriotic Governor, who has done so much for them as to fail to bestow upon him the little honor of electing him to the United States Senate. And then you know it would never do to break the family suc­ cession in office. How nice it will be for W. W. to take Senator Simmons’place and BrotherClaudetocome right along and succeed Senator Overman. This geogra­ phical division that has been in practice here in North ,Carolina in elec'ing Gover­ nors and Senators ought to be broken up, anyway. SiIetus falIin lineand stop this joke about a senatorial contest, lest it may become too serious and our Gover­ nor is forced to say something which is not his custom to do, for he of all men in public life today prefers to act rather than speak—M.

T h e doctrine of cover crops is no new thiog to readers of th e P ro jresaive F arm er. Y ear after year we have preached it w ith all the em phasis a t our com m and, insist­ ing again and again th a t th e soils of th e South can never be brought up to th eir rig h ttu l fertility w hile they are left exposed to th e heavy w inter rains. W inter exposure in ­ ju re s m uch S onthern land m ore th an do th e cropB grow n in the sum m er; and ju st as long as farm ­ ers take off th eir cotton and corn crops and leave the lan d bare all w inter to be w ashed aw ay a.Ld to have the p lan t foods leached out of it, ju s t th a t long will th ey find find tile task of building it up a hard one, To have som ething grow ing on every possible acre of land during the w inter Bhould be regarded as OLe of the very first rules of good farm ing in th e S outh. I t is one of the essentials w hether you so re­ gard it or not, b u t it will be- a w onderful aid to your own w elfare when you adm it the fact and act upon it. T here has never been a tim e w here Jarm ers did not need these cover crops; b u t this year the need to p lan t them is unusually great. T he b ay crop th is year is rem ark­ ably lig h t; feed of all kinds is go­ ing to be scarce and high next spring, and no farm er should m iss any opportunity to add tp his su p ­ ply, I i is too late now to plant th e sum m er grow ing legum es. T he w inter crops are th e only hope. So, th is year, not only for the lan d ’s sake b u t for th e sake of your live stock, you should plan t w iuter cover crops on ju s t as m any acres as you possibly can. S outhern farm ers are very for­ tunate in the great num ber of w in­ ter grow ing crops, they have to se­ lect from , and th is fall they should get th e full good out of every one of them . T he legnm es, of course, deserve first consideration—crim son clover bur clover, th e vetches, w ill all im prove th e land and give some hay or pasture. C rim son clover is a splendid feed for cattle or hogs, and m ay safley be fed to horses if cut early; b u r clover will give good sp rin g pasture, and is splendid to sow on a B erm uda sod; hairy vetch sowed w ith w heat or oats or rye, will m ake one of the b e st” covers and give a big yield of hay of the finest q uality. T heu, there are th e w inter grains — w heat, oatB, rye, barley— any of these sown early enough will pro­ tect the land d uring th e w inter and, if cu t a t th^ rig h t st<ige, will m ake good hay. B ye is probably the least valuable for hay, but ow­ ing to its hardiness and th e late d ate a t which, it can be sow n, of m ost value as a cover crop. T u r­ nips and rape are not cpver crops, strictly speaking, b u t they can be m ade to aive some protection to the land and a w hole lot of feed. P lan t them , too. In short, p lan t an y th in g th a t w ill give your fields a w iuter coat of greeo. If one passes through a section in th e w inter and sees green fields on all sides, he is like Iy to feel, som ehow or other, th a t there are good farm ers in th a t sec tion and th a t'it is a good place to live. T his conclusionis m ore than likely to be rig h t, too. Sc. we would urge you, U r. R eader, to have your fields green this w inter.

T h ereisg o in g to b e a big cotton crop this year unless som ething whol­ ly unforseen happens. No doubt a- b o u tit. T here is a little doubt, eith­ er. th a t the crop will not be as big as the G overnm ent figures have been indicating. In the last w eek or so there has been a m arked decline in the prospects in various sections. T here is no need to g et excited and conclude th at “ the bottom is going to drop out of prices.” Prices will undoubtedly be low er than fo r last year’s crop; b u t if the farm ers use plain business judgem ent in m arket­ ing there need be no wholesale slum p. Of course, there is a lot of cotton'that will be forced on the m arket as soon as it is ginned; b u t if th e grow ers who do not have to sell on a falling m arket, prices can be held a t a re- num erative figure. N ovem ber and Decem ber fu tu res are now bringing a little over 11 cents. Now . 11 cents is low enough—even if the crop proves to be as large as is expected, it should certainly be the m inium . W e do not believe th a t 12 cents would be an unreasonable price to stand for; b u t w hatever the price, cotton grow ers should agree upon some price and dem and it. If they do, they can a t least g et a reasonable price; if they do not, th e m arket is likely to go to pieces and the large cotton crop will actually bring than would a sm all one.—P rogres­ sive F arm er.
