12-DecemberS f t e - H a M e M t t v r b "HERE SHALL THE PRESS, THE PEOPLE’S RIGHTS MAINTAIN; UNAWED BY INFLUENCE AND UNBR1BEO BY GAIN.” VOLUMN XIIL MOCKSVILLE. NORTH CAROLINA; WEDNESDAY. DECEMBER C, 1911 NUMBER 22 Eliminare the Roller Towel. Knockabout wonders if every //Sunty boy, not grown to manhood .and perhaps others, cherishes in his memory the Boiler Towel that : hung conveniently to the water shed, usually on the back porch or in the back hall. Can he recall going ont of cold morning, break ing the ice and dipping water from the cedar bucket with a cocoanut ladle and gourd, filling his tin pan and giving his face and hands a ‘■lick and a promised” Then came the'Boller Towel, very often frozen stiff as a board and had to be muss ed up before it could even slick off the face. It was an institution that did service for the whole family. To those who cherish' such me mory, it will be interesting to know that the Health Department of the city of Baltimore, Md., is waging relentless war on the Boiler Towel. Since the advent of the germ theory sanitary reform has been along the “individual’'’ line. The individual drinking cup is about established and now the individual towel. The Boiler Towal is not individual en ough. Some Baltimorean has composed and published in the Sun this part ing ode to the Boiler Towel: O Boller Towel, farewell, farewell! .'We’ve known thee long, we love thee well! TByTnatiy turns/in stiffening-grace- To wipe onr digits and our face Have made thee closer than a bro ther, - And one good tnrn deserves ano ther! How well we mind thy twists and • squirms, - ^ Boiler coasting the little germs! Givingthemicrobesall a ride, And when at last thou’rt gone add went, We’ll build to thee a monument! At times we’ve bent thee; ah,' for give! Without thee, once we conld not live! Now that thou’rt going, taking wing, In single voice thy dirge we sing! Farewell, farewell! Thy Heaven be fat! Farewell, OTowel, and Beqniescat! By the time summer rolls around again it is predicted that the indi vipual swimming hole will be the cry. Let us hope the country boys will call a halt before the swim- inmg'hole is: made individual. It is probably tfie greatest of all in stitutions for pleasure and profit. It is the one ; common ground on which all meet. The time is Sat urday afternoon, from abont I c- ’clock:nntil just time toget home and do up the - ‘‘Snnday turns” before night. Years ago it was customary for boys to settle all their disputes at the Saturday afternoon swimming frolic. They fought it out, man to man,- with companions to see that all got lair play.> The idea of using a weapon never,occurred to any of these and hands were “shook” after the fight. —Exchange. ■ > Some Pointers, v Scarcely any farmers in Con gress; we don’t like it. . There are few things in life more . despicable , than the man who li'ames it on his wife. - -Looking at the sun through a whiskey glass shows the picture of thfe poorhonsa and thin soup. Inthese days of much raking, the farmer whp is able to rake up a good compost heap stands to win. ,whenever we growl and demand ~ higher wages;, we should be wise; enough to see that we are simply -forcing the prices of the necessi ties of life higher. The. price of tabor determines the^pnces' of all other things, ,It is : unreasonable to be, paid-$5.00formakinga cer . tamarticle*hndhop0 to buy it- for $2 50. Wb are not paid by any trusts for saying this. Any agent coming to your- door whom you do not know may be a scoundrel and he-may be as houest as the day is long. But you don't know and it is your duty to be prudent, and not nibble at every biit. You don’t want to be caught yet many are by signing “orders, agreements, receipts” or other in nocent looking papers for strangers. These harmless and simple looking d icuments have already turned up* later as bona-fide notes. , Some of our regular readers may criticise us for carrying so much advertisements. Even if we. would not need the money coming, from these “ads,” we would neverthe less insert one and all, and that for our leaders own benefit. A keen and thorough newspaper reader will study the advertisements as well as the editorials. Those two departments of your newspaper are the most helpful intellectually . -The ads especially will inform you what commercial progress is L'eing made m your own community. They contain a great deal of information not found -in the news column. Bead.-them, and you will - be sur prised. - A Seventh Day AdventiBt has been indicted in Rocky Mount, lor working on Sunday.

Livery StableB; Drug Stares,'Supday News papergpFIaces of Amusement and many other businesses are kept go ing on Sunday and not a word is said, but if a-ppor farmer ploughs his field on Sunday the “devil is to pay and no piltch hot.” We are opposed .to ail Sunday work, and hope to see the United States Con gress begin the-work of stopping it by not allowing ( he U. S. Mail to be carried, handed /or delivered between 12 o’clock on Saturday nighjt and 12 o’clock, on Snnday night,—Jtonnta. n Scout, z ' One Business Outlook. We hope there is not going to be any panic,.and doleful predic tions help to bring hard times, but we might as well fix our plans to face a rather unfavorable year mainly on., account of politics. Things are mighty unsettled. Bu siness is not on a solid- basis. -.The government is going after the trusts, and while John D. Andrew et al are not in great"danger of go ing to jail, the agitation keepB everything uncertain. INext year therein to be a battle, with odds more_even than for years, between the two great parties. Shis means that excitement will run high, and that politics will engage the public mind rather than business.: Cap ital will seek a safe retreat and the. automobile bills will be hard to meet. The low price of cotton is another element in the depression of the business Worldr and farmers who are the basis of our business life will be bard run. The man who trims his sails to ride' the storm will be wise, but he who pitches.in with blind hope that he will come out somehow- will be apt to find that “how” is not tc his Iik-. ing. It will be a hard year for agents, and-solicitors of new busi ness. People .who are-not prudent ifiil over buy. Farmers wbp havtf learned-the lesson that experience teaches will .reduce' their cotton; acreage/ and put in more-of the stuff that they can consume. 1913 may bean unlucky year but it will not be because of the “13” but on account of the peculiar conditions that confront and surround us: We have befea living at a fast and furious pace. .To be sure we have beeuTnakeiuf, money but we have.; been spending.it- faster than we made it. Afler such a period Te- a- tion* 18-bound ^-to >come, and it look very mtch like we.aje in the dawn of a rainy .day,:- It would be easier to bear if the^prices of our necessities were on the down grade*, tint the peculiar thing about the Stringent timeS'of late is that the scarcer money becomes the higher the prices soar. Taking all things into consideration this is a fine time to say “no” to our desires, and reinstate into the family life the old time rigid, econmy that is now in the dim tnd distant past; and. whatever .others may do the man will postpone buying an auto mobile until the storm is overpast. —Charity and Children. 158 Bushels to the Acre. ;'-n. Mr.T*. D. Finch of Davidson County, North Carolina, has raised this year on one acre of land -158 bushels and 45 pounds of corn. This is a fine record. <It was made because Mr. Finch is a progressive farmer and understands the soil and how to help-it and because he attends to his business. There is not an acre of land m North Caro lina which, would not, with the same careful treatment, produce the same'results. What is needed in the South is not larger farms, bnt-lietter cultivated farmq. It is hoped that the Greater Charlotte Club will-go to work preparing for. the great Hog and Hominy. Expo sition to-be held here next year The two things go together—-hog and hominy—and when the prizes are awarded it is hoped that there will bemany North Carolina farm ers to contest with Mr. Finch of Davidson County.—Charlotee Ob-: server.

B- Cooperl in National Printer Journalist; “There are several types of .mor tals1 whom we editors naturally de' spise. The first I might mention is represented by -that subscriber, who, when dunned for a year’s subscription, declares he received only two or three copies of the pa per during the year and on that ground refuses to pay. Another type is that- kind • who accept a; newspaper for a number of years and-when finally cornered for set-, tlement swear they never ordered the pa-er; And then there’s the man who allows the-paper to come to his add i ess for several years wlthoutpaying for - it, and then movee away without-notifying: the editor, thus cheating the .editor out of. several year’s labor and a considerable outlay of hard-earned cash. And there is another class, who get two or. three’years behind on subscription; then pay -up the price of-one year, and a year later, when asked to settle up their ac count, insist that they-paid up all arreareges the year previous. And just ao long as country ,publishers continue to run their papers on the old style credit-to-everyone for-an- indefinite-period plan, will these several despicable classes continue to make a noise like trouble around the front office.” .

The call for-the Retfublican nation al convention to be issued by the na- tional-committee jvhen it> meets in Washington December 12 will pro vide for 1.064 .delegates, to be in creased to. 1,072 if Arizona and New Mexico becomes States before the convention, is held. -The increase from 980 delegates, which comprised the Chicago convention of 1908 is the- result of the reapportionment by Congress, -which Jncreasesthe size of the House of-Representatives 'from 391 Co 433 members, or 435 with the two new States. - ' -The basis of delegates for the Re pfiblican convention is four at large m each State and two. for-each con gressional district.' The IaYge gains in the-State delegation will:be: New York 12, Pennsylvania 8, Oklahoma and California six each, Illinois; Mas sachusetts, New Jersey, Texas and Washington, four each. Other States either, will gain two each, or retain the apportionment of the 1908 . Chi cago convention. Thabasis used by the national committee in distributing' delegates to thejiational convention amongst the States, has been attacked in a statement by Senator /-Jonathan Bourne, Jr., president of the "Nati onal Progressive Republican League. The progressive organization de mands that the delegates be ’ appor tioned on the bdsis of - Repu blican votescast in the States/ not on rthe basis, of the number of congressional districts. _ Such a plan would greatly reduce: the number of delegates from South ern States; Where the Republican vote is small. Using the 7,677,479 voter cast for President Taft as. a basis and 1,050. as the number of de legates in the -1912 convention the Progreasive League estimates that' there-should.be a delegate to - the convention for each 8,865:. Republic an votes. That would reduce Ala bama to seven delegates,. Missisippi to five, South Carolina to. - four - and' other Southem1States proporti onate- Iy and would increase - New York’s; delegation to 102, Pennsylvania/ to 88,-Illinois to 75 and Ohio’s to 69. ■ -Ten years'ago a farmer put- his initials on a dollar biII.

The fact that the Republicans captured New- York State by - an overwhelming majority makes it practically certain that New Yoik will give a large majority for the Republican candidate for President next year. The result in Maryla.nd has caus ed much rejoicing among the Re publicans as well as among some Democrats. Not only did the Re publicans defeat the Democratic candidate for Governor, Arthur Pue Gorman, who represented the worst element in the Democratic partys but they also elected the State’s attorney in Baltimore, the. sheriff of Baltimore County, and a few other important- offices. The Legislature of that-State is Demo eratic, but the Governor .has the veto power and can prevent any ruinous legislation as the Demo crats haven’t sufficsent majority to pass any bill over the Governor’s veto. ~ 'Being wise in buaineasVdosen’t mean that a man can’t be"a fool in everything else. • It Is Even So!'. . • - • ■ "SsNow the frost is on .the pump kin, and -the cholera mor- v bos pain— With the June-bug it will slum ber till the roses come again!—Ex.

NORTH CAROLINA. WEDNESDAY. DECEMBER 13. 1911.NUMBER 23 A STRONG AND AGGRESSIVE REPUBLICAN ORGANIZATION. H. E. C. Bryant, in Wilmington Star. Washington, Nov. 18—Two years ago, before I left here for the West Ipredicted that John Hotley More- head, then Congressman from the Fifth North Carolina District, and Marion Butler, former TJ. S. Sena tor from the Tar Heel State would combine forces and defeat the E. C. Duncan army of Republicans and take charge of the organization. That prediction came true. Messrs. Motehead and Butler united against the then Republi can boss and downed him. Mr. Duncan fought like <6- tiger and, aided by PostmasterGeneral Hitch cock, with his broad and elaborate pie counter, loaded down with good things, he held his own for months alter he was really licked. A bitter campaign, between the Republicans and Democrats follow ed. Morehead and Butler went do vn but a comparison of figures show that they did not loose as much ground as did Republicans in other States. The Republicans held three North Carolina districts by less than 1,500 in the last Con gress, They lost these by more than 5,000 in 1910. Many single districts in the East and West turned Democratic from Republi can by more than 5,000. The'Re publicans claim that North Caro lina did better in 1910 than any otherStatein the Union. They argue that 1910 was a Democratic year. No one will deny that charge. It was an off year for the Republi cans. It ir an interesting .fact that Grant got just 200 votes less in 1908 than Gudger did in 1910, and Morehead 1,100 less in 1908 than Stedman in 1910. The Republicans are going to try to come back. They are al ready at work. Those who imag ine that Senator Butler iR dead po litically have another thought com ing. The foxy Mary Ann is in the saddle, riding like fury.. John Motley Morehead is chairman of the Republican committee. He is popular socially ancLin a business way. The. most serious, charge made against .him is that he is al lied with Marion Butler against the Duncan wing of the Republi can party and the Democrats. But that combination—Morehead, the popular business man, and Butler, the cunning, aggressive politician —is a dangerous ' one for North Carolina Democrats at this parti cular time. 'Had it not been ior President Taft a cdtten tariff bill, one that Representative Webb, oftheNinth North Carolina, the greatest cotton district in the country, could not support,, would have been fixed upon the United States by the De -mocrats of Congress. The protests of the cotton manufacturers of Dix ie availed not upon Leader Under wood and his associates. If the House, the Senate and the White House is Democratic in 1913 that same cotton tariff bill will become a law. Messrs. Morehead and But ler know that To* be a fact and will use it in the next campaign. That is the end of the game Mt. More head knows, and will play. Mr. Butler iB going to fire all along the line. Neither Mr. Mere head nor Mr. Butler is telling De mocrats what he is going to do, but the signs of tne times are as plain as the nose on a man’s face. Mr Butler will appeal to his old- time friends. In fact, he is al ready-appealing to them. Hehas adopted a new campaign scheme. More than 100,000 copies of a speech.that he made at Raleigh during the last campaign is being circulated from The Caucasian of-, fice at Raleigh. Five dents a copy is charged for the speech, which is printed in a booklet,- containing 70 pages. ~ • __ “ Marion Bu tier's RaleigbSpeeeh?’ done in light green covers, js one of the most remarkable campaign documents ever issued for Tar Heel consumption. It literally takes the bark off of Senator Simmons and Editor Dan iels. In my rounds I met Senator But ler this week, and asked him if he thought he could “come back” in North Carolina. “I have not been away yet,” said he. “I stuck to the Populist party until it disintegrated, and then I became a Republican.” •‘North Carolina is doing nicely. They say we fell back last election. Letmegiue you a few.-figures. According to figures sent out by the Secretary of the State the vote in 1910 was: Democrats. 140,631; Republicans, 94,017. That was an off year. In 1906. the off year pre ceding that, the vote was: Demo crats, 123 272; Republicans 77,017. The figures of 1910 are very much larger than those of 1906. We made substantial gains. The re sults of the 1908 election was un usual. President Taft got-114,- 887, and Bryan 136,928, making a Democratic plurality-of -only 22,- 041., Governor Ritcbin received 145,002 and Mr. Cox, the Repub lican. 107,760. “That third North Carolina Con gressional District made ,a better showing lor - the Republicans in 1910 than any other District in the United States. That is my home District. It is the only one that did not lose votes that yeae. This was done in spite of the fact that some of the insurgent counties of the District showed a falling off. Counties-with the Morehead or ganizations made gains. The vote for Thomas, Democrat, and Hill, Republican, in 1908 was: Thomas, 11544; Hill, 7,896, giving the Democrats a majority of 3,648. In 1910, witih one of the Butlers run ning, the remit was as ’follows: Faison, 10,423; Butler, 7,505. We actually reduced the majority to 2,923. “That does not look like Mr Morehead and myself hurt the cause.” “Counties that used to be Dem ocratic strongholds are now debat able. Take Sampson, Cktawba, Chatham, Sohnston, Wayne, Dup lin, Gaston, Lincoln, Iredell, Row an, Alamance and Wake. Weare gaining iu all of these.” The Republicans, led by Messis. Morehead and Butler, are np and doing. They will make a deeper ate effort to increase their vote next year. The Bitter Cry of The Editor. Irvingtill.,)' Times. A newspaper is a thing that ev ery person in town knows how to run except the editor. It is what should be an oven for roasts on everyone except yonrself, niembeis of your family and a few of your particular friends, for whom it should he a sweet-scented bouquet of praise. ~ It iswhatyonwantto see the editor’keep your name out ot as soon as you have settled with the police justice on the morning after and to get'your name into it as soon as the cards are issued two weeks before. t It is-waat is “just too horrid and inquisitive for any thing and please keep my name out!’-when the reporter wishes to know about the bridge whist club an n which iB the mean old -sheet that never gets anything right wjien your name is omitted-from “among those present:” It is what no one ever forgets to condemn for. its mistakes-and never, remembers to praise for the good it accom plishes. It is subsidized when it fails to tell about, the' millionaire’s wife running away with the coachman and-a libelou., yellow rag when it reports your police court trial fcr killing your neighbor’s dog. - Time to Give Heed. The prospects for improvement in the cotton market this season seems remote. The largest scheme devised by which two million bales are to be withdrawn from the mar ket.for the purpose of creating a “bull’-’ market is not counted fea sible, because it is purely specula tive. The hope of the farmer for the present season is not gratifying He will probably receive the price now prevailing until the bulk of the crop has been moved and marketed. Many projects have been, advised and agreed- upon. Many conferences have been held to dUcuss the interests of the agri. culturalist. None ofthem has had a beneficial iufluence on the mar ket. The world is under the im pression that a surplus crop has been made and that the present price isall the cotton is worth. This may be wrong, but it is hard to make the cotton-consuming world believe it. This being the case, and it seems to be undeniable, the farmer ought to be. looking forward to tkeuGmfng year. It is about time for /him to be arrauging for his next props. He has been advised for years - to cut down his cotton acreage- but he would not do it. He has also been advised to diversify his crops but. he would not diversify enough/In paying no heed~to this/advice and in refusing to follow his Own better judgment in this particular, the farmer has displayed the uniform weakness of all men. HeRas been criticized justly and he Rnows it. He inwardly rebukes himself for the fate that he has courted and the disaster which be has brought ipon himself and the time has come-when he must see for himself how much-mistaken he: has been. His only salvation is diversified farming. Let him now resolve up on the curtailment of - his cotton, acreage, mtensive methods of farm ing smaller acres, abundant fields of corn and a larger acreage of small grain. It is easy to raise a cropoi oats. * * * Oafs and wheat can be raised more cheaply than any other crop and they are important crops. Tt is a pood time to make plans like this and not wait to see what is going to turn up later.

C., Noveniber 25,-That the good-roads movement was given most effectual impetus by the Southern Railway’s “Road Improvement Train” which , made a.sweeping tour through Alabama, Mississippi, Tennesseer North Ca rolina, Virginia, South Carolina, Georgia and'Florida between May I and October 27, is indicated in figures summarizing results of the campaign just made public, In the period of six months during which time from one to three demonstra tions were given daily, the experts accompanying -the train instructed nearly 50.0.0.0. people m the art of building good roads and keeping them In repair. The train travel ed a distance of nearly 13,500 miles Stopping at 250 towns which were locatedin 201 counties. The at tendance at the various meet ings ranged from a little less than 100 to over 1,500. The methods used in showing’ the people the advantages of gooff’ roads not only afforded ; an oppor/ tunity for them to secure a prac tical education on the/subject of highway construction but wa3 so unique as to form a source of real entertainment for those’not direct ly interested in the movement. The train consisted of three coaches, two of which were specially fitted up for.: demonstration. , One con tained working models of good roads showing the various mater ialB used in construction, minature road machinery shown in actual operation, and enlarged photo graphs showing every phase of the good roads problem. The other car was equipped with a stereopti- con and illustrated lectures were conducted by the government re presentatives, showing m a ■ very striking manner the advantages of good roads over bad. In some of the counties -visited the interest aroused by the train was such : that the people went actively to work improving their roads, voting for bond issues and employing engineers to give skilled supervision; A representative of the American . Association for Highway Improvement accompani ed the train fora portion of the trip and efficient work was done in organizing branche&of the associa . tion in many of-the'counties. TheSouthern Railway handled the train without charge to the government or the-people .in the belief that greater_prosperity will result from the construction of im proved roads in the South. With out a single exception the work of the “Road. Improvement Train” was most heartily approved and jn every town there were heard un qualified expressions of the value of. the work and public spirit shown by.tbe Soathern Railway in bear ing the expense.

The price of cotton continues to soar—downward. If Congress lets the tariff alone, we believe the price will go up early in the spring. A great many people are holding their cotton, which we believe is a wise -thing for them to do. The editor wishes to make a spee- —ial appeal to those of his subscribers who are behind with their subscrip tions, and urge them to renew be fore Christmas. Thereare two good reasons for this request The first is that we are badly in need of cash to pay our bills and get straight with the world, and the second is that we are going to revise our books and want every name that goes on our new books to be paid in advance.

In my last letter, I think I prom- issd you good and lovable folks in North Carolina tc give a little de scription of this town and country as wellr For fear I can’t do both justice in this letter I will take up the town and people first and see if any space be left. This is a very nice place, with bout twelve thousand inhabitants, the majority of them being what Carolinians would call extremely public spirited. And with a few ex ceptions all forces are combined in failing to do reverence to their mas ter. -As a whole, they are money mad, and it matters notin what way it is obtained. It is a very common thing for peo ple to work on Sundays. Most of housewives wait until Sunday morn ing to do their week’s washing. The sacred calmness that Washington Irving says distinguishes Suiiday morning from other days is broken here-by the continuous noise of the carpenters’ handaxe and saw, and by the roar of heavy loaded farm wagons coming into town with corn, hay and other produce. So far as my acquaintance has ex tended even the best church mem- Joers have no desire whatever to re frain from taking the name of the Lord our God in vain. As a whole, they are negro lovers. In my visit to the college here what did I see, when I walked in but negroes desk- ing with white boys and girls, and I was told that one girl was abused shamefully by her teacher because she said something about making her march out with a negro. They beautifully decorate the graves of the blue coats, but the graves of the gray they detest. Many things, to my knowledge, they have carried to extremes. One has to purchase license to hunt just as if he was going to start up a distillery, and then can’t hunt without a written permit from the landowner. Ifheisfound on the pikes or other'roads with his gun he is arrested and fined or imprisoned. If you start out without your drink- in<r-cup you will have to cross the Wabash River, Oklahoma - line, or the Rockies before you get any wa-. ter. Kansas, with a few more states in middle west, have passed that law to preyent the spread of tuberculos is. - While it is a good thing for each one to have his own cup, the law was not passes solely for'that, but for the money they have obtained throu the sale of the cups. Doubtless thou sands have been made in this way. Space prohibiting further descrip tion now, I will give that in my next letter. With many'fond wishes to The Repord and its readers who inhabit the-best State in America, I’ll close. H arvey C. Renegar . Ottawa, Kans. Harmony, Route One News.

C: iiisS New Attitude Toward Farming. ■ ProgressiveFarmer. In a recent issue of The Saturday Evening Post. Judge Harris Diefe- son, of Mississippi, points out what is perhaps the most significant aud hopeful fact in the whole agricul tural revolution iu the South—the changed attitude toward farm work the recognition of.it as a scientific industry and no longer as mere manual labor. Judge Dickson starts out by telling how another State, preparing to develop an ag ricultural college, recently sent a uelegatiouto the Georgia Agricul tural College at Aiihens to study its work and get some trained men as teachers: “President Soule called in six of his best students and informed them that they could get excellent Bpiirioaa in the new college. Four them promptly declined; they wanted to go back to their farms. ‘•They look upon their lands with different eyes. Their inter est is not measured by the money that their fields produce. It lies deeper; they love the land and love the toil of tending it. “This cooics preSty near touch ing them with the wand of artistic instinct. When a man performs his task with an eye single to- his profit, then he is a hireling labor er, evon though that task be the painting of a masterpiece or the composing of a Marseillaise. “But if a man labors for love, for the joy of creating something; * if it be the work and not the wage that satisfies his soul—then he may rightly be called an artist, even though his achievement be nothiug more than to life a lily from the soil “It will not require mayy young men with this-spirit and this train-, ing to work a permanent revolu tion in the South.” •— A Long Ssrrnon. The preacher was eloquent, the congregation patient, and the dis- course very long. A stranger en tered and took a Seat in a back pew. Presently he whispered to the man at his side, evidently one ■ of the old members. “ How, long Jiiw > -■>—••^preaching!” “Thirty ^SGFlI^ink,” answered Tjout'' t'weive~rnoTrs3(;i ‘I ^majority.,then,” said •the stranger. “He must be nearly done.” Yes, Why?

Farmers Union News. - This situation of-the farmer, just now, is a peculiar one. He made a big crop, and is selling that crop for less than it cost him to makeit The earth is yielding an abundant harvest; The farmer isjiot gettiLg the benefits. If you should go and ask the farmer what aboucthe price of cot ton he would start out by saying, “Considering high prices- of sup plies, cotton is selling too low.” Ask him what he means by sup plies, and he will tell you corn, hay, meat, etc. Now, we agree with him''that cotton is too low, but what in the world has the high prices of corn, hay and meat got to do with the prices of cotton so far as the farmer is concerned? All these articles can be grown on the farm, and if cotton is too low, according to the prices of corn, hay, aud meat, wby dou’t the farmer grow less cortoii and more corn, Lay, and meat? The farmer, in the .South, that does not grow his corn, hay, aud meat, as a rule, should be consider ed as a criminal, tor such he is, for it’s his methods that enables the speculator to rob the South ol many millions of dollars. He blows open the sate, while the speculator picks up the spoils. Champion Corn Grower. Ahoskie, Nov. 21—Charles W. Parker, Jr., of Menola, Hertford county, N. C., produced 195 9-10 ,bushels,, or a fraction more than 39 barrels of corn on one acre ' of land this'year, and 1911 has not been a good corn year either. The experts who measured the corn were unanimous in their opinion: that with an average rainfall the yield would have been greatly in creased. Tbe boy’s crop will prob ably break some records anyway, because of the low cost of . produc tion. It cost only 21 cents ' per bushel to produce this amount of corn. The beauty of the whole transaction is that it is demonstra tion which can'he followed by the average farmer on his whole farm. The Record 52 weeks 50 cents.

MOCKSVILLE. NORTH CAROLINA. WEDNESDAY. DECEMBER 20. 1911. : _ .NUMBER 24 A Modern Instance. A youDg widow bad been left with one small, son and'about $10,- 000. In time she remarried. Her husband cherished the son as tenderly as the two who were born later. The boy received a good education and business training, but as he approached manhood he refused to be iestrained, and on his twenty first birthday demanded the fortune his father had left him. The stepfather advised the young man not to withdraw it. He of fered to make him a junior partner in his own biiBin :ss if he would rt ? main at home; but the young man insisted, and the older man made an accounting on a most generous scale. Said he: "When I married your mother, I told her that the money left her by your father should be invested for you, and that I would take care of her. I have done so. The business in which I invested the money has prospered, and your $10,000 is now $50,000. Unless you have some definite plan for the use of it, I should not adviae you to with draw it all. It was nearly five times what the young man expected, but he de manded it all, and it was paid. He left home, and wasted his substance in riotous living. . After a time a friend wrote ’ to the stepfather, saying that the young man was doing badly, and nearly out of money. The step father replied that the time had 'not come for him to interfere. And so the young man went his way, and a'number ol years went liy. But the inevitable end came. The •money was gone, and the young man’s hopbs were gone. And then be wrote home for money to return. The stepfather sent the money, and met the young man at the train The young . fellow was in shabby clothingahd looked torlorn enough. The stepfather said: “Your motLer is very anxious to see you, and we will send word of your safe arrival and that you will be at the house in an hour or two.” Then hetook the young man to the barber'shop, where he had % bath and a shave, and then to a clothing store, where he was suitably attired. When he entered the home he was well dress ed and no longer a prodigal in ap pearance. Each attempt on his part to ■ bring the conversation to a point where he could tell the story of his wrong doings was skilfully turned aside. Hewasshown a room in the new and larger house where the family then lived. It wais ready for him, and he was told that it was his own room, and in it were= some of his old furnishings. But by no word was he reminded of his sins. After a day or two the stepfather said to him: “Your, two brothers are now my partners, but there is room in the business for all four of us. W onldyouliketogoinwith • us?” The young man had come home with a bitter heart, ready.to steel himself against the reproaches he knew'he deserved, ready to resent any adVertlaC^lfilli^dness or attern;' "'r" -4rut foriQl unprepared, anu ne could no long' er be restrained. He broke down and wept. The words of.gratitude and Borrow poured-fourth, and he promised to be faithful. The years have, gone by, and the partnership continues. The three 6ons are still with- the father, and . it seems as if it had always been so. Those who know the story Bay that if any difference can, be die covered among the three sons, it is only in this, that the returned pro digal is still, after years at home, the most faithful of the faithful three. For he loved much, because he had been forgiven freely and without reproach. “And so,” said the man who told the story,, “that good old story of the prodigal son keeps repeat ing itself in varying forms, and it is good to know that every now and then it turns out quite as well as it did in the Bible.”—Ex. A Deficit in our Good Roads Ef forts pointed out. The Durham Herald, in a recent issue says: “A farmer can haul no heavier load to market than he can get over the worst, place of the road on his‘ route, and t.biS is one of the reasons why we think the township plan of voting bonds for road building will not bring about the deBired re sult. For instance, Olayton town ship, in Johnston county, has as good roads as you will find any where and the roads in and around Smitbfield are in fairly good con dition, but midway between. the two towns is a township that has done nothing in the way of road building and as a cousequence there are a few miles of poor dirt roads between the two towns.” Our people are every day seeing the evil effects resulting from one townBhip trying to build good- road, while its neighboring town ship will not co-operate. The same thing is true as between the coun ties of the - State. Some counties have a fine highway from one side to the other, while the adjoining county has none, while just beyond another county has good roads. .' Much money has been wasted in attempting to-bhild good roads without having any system. Every one knows that if all of a road is put in good condition except one or two miles, no matter whether there are forty miles of good road and only one or two-of bad road, that no one can haul over that road any greater load than can be par ried over the small piece of bad road. What we need is a State system of building good roads. In New Eqgland and all the oth er States where there are fine roads and where one can travel Irom Bos ton to New York or from Boston to Portland, Me., crossing not only hundreds of townships and dozens of counties, but also crossing seve ral States, in a drive of one or two days, this condition could not have resulted had net these States esfab lisbed highway commissions or State road supervisors under a sys tem worked out so that the State would co-operate with every conn ty and township so as to insure no bre'aks between the various pieces of good roads. Indeed in every New England State there are what are called “State roads,” that are built entirely by the State; that is, some great, central highway between important points, which is a main artery to which the county roads connect. We.are delighted to see that the. good roads congress held in Bich mond last week • considered this question and advised some general plan and also advised each State to use its State convicts for the build ing of State highways. This is an admirable suggestion, and we trust to see our next Legislature take-up: the matter and inaugurate such a system of State supervision- with out further delay .^-Caucasian, Againns a trite expression exono rated: TBe latest is that of “it will' get you isi the end,” as exemplified by the incident of the man who while dodging an auto and a street car was killed by a hearse:—Wil mington Dispatch. - - The News and Observer saysthe democratic party in this '.state is doing absolutely nothings towards enforcing-the anti-trust law..'We’ll remind Josephus of this next fall when the pokeberry juice begins to flow.—Ex.

Diversified Farmingv President Finley, of the South- ern-R-ailway Company, in a recent address at the Black Soil Belt Fair at Demopolis; Alabama; laid great stress upon the importance of di versified farming as enabling the cotton planter to market his crop to better advantage.j, Speaking of this subject, Mr.- Finley said: “The cotton grower who diver sifies his farming, at least to the extent of rendering himBelf indev pendent of ou‘.side sources of sup ply for all of the grains, fruits, vegetables, meats aud dairy pro ducts consumed on his farm, is en abled to market his cotton when there is an economic demand tor it.: Heis not compelled to sell re gardless of market conditions, as has so often been the . case, under the necessity of meeting obligations incurred for food-stuffs and other necessaries o( life by reason of failure to produce them - on the farm.. The cotton farmer is, of course, in a still more advantage ous position if he carries diversifi cation to the extent of having something besides cotton for sale. It is particularly desirable that the farmer should have a steady source of income throughout the year. The local demand throughout the South for dairy products, poultry and eggs is Bucb as to enable the farmer: who produces a surplus of these commodities to have a week ly income throughout the year sufficient to meetliis^bills with lo cal merchauts and a regular in come, such as this, even though the amount received per.week may be small, will go- far in assisting him to market his cotton when there is an economic demand for it.” Negroes Elected Foss Governor.

He teHs you to render your petitions to that Being who has no beginning that you may go through the straight gate, and with no> difficulties in going -through -the narrow road which leads to the residence of the Son of God, who was numbered upon the Roman cross with the transgressors, and who made his grave with the wicked, and there to be in the presence of all the, blood-washed spirits and the angels, who are spotless, doing the bidding of the Omnipotent. He tells you there is o 'day known ' ta Him. When He will return again, accompanied by the angelic host, and that He will have unlimited power vested in Him; b u t. that day is only known by the Loni of hosts, and that His angels will first gather to gether his elect, and that'they will come like a thief in. the night, and all the ,liv ing will be changed in the twinkling ~of an eye, and that the earth which we in habit will.be destroyed,, and that the penalty ofthe puniishmSnt to be inflicted upon the wickeji by Him who stood upon the Roman crdss and said, “Mother.. be hold thy Son.” He tells you to prepare for that dreadful day; as'it is coming. •, / J.

Two reputable faimers relate hree instances of the work of the <o called ‘‘healers” in this county luring-the past few months; They stated that one woman, who was in * delicate condition, was con vales cing from typhoid fe-vor, when the the “healer” gathered and after going through their ceremonies, told her to arise and walk, that she was healed. She declared bersell unable to do so, but was persuad ed to get up, and she walked across the room; but on starting back to the bed fell in a faint with the re sult that would naturally follow in such a case, She ultimately; re covered, however, under the care of the physicians.: Another woman suffering with typhoid. waB per suaded to go to a> meeting of the “healers,” where she was healed and in the excitement declared her self healed. The 'next day she had a relapse and died of hemorrhage. The third instance was where a dead woman was raised from ! the dead “on the third day,” and preparations for the event were made, but the “healer” received an urgent message from a sick re lative and had to forego the resur rection exercises.' These facts: are vouched for by the men who ; told them. If indeed such things are true, it is marvelous that our peo pie can so far take -leave of their senses as to participate in such stuff.—CaTawba County News.; - When you have a bilious, attack: .give Chamberlain’s Tablets a trial.

' The young people who like to in dulge in the giddy mazes of - the waltz will hear with interest, that the heads of Washington and New York society have dcclaied that “setting a waltz will be more fash ionable from now on tb&n dancing. The “sitting out” , embodies the same position as dancing, the only difference is that you sit instead of dance. The man’s right arm is a- round the girl’s waist, while his left holds her right. Her left hand is placed-on his shoulders, while her head rests Io_vingly. upon his bosom, and all they have to do is to sit and listen to the music. Now that is something like it. I have always thought it was a heap of useless trouble to have to gallop a mile or two-to get a hug or two. A room full ox people sitting on sofas hugging to music is more to my no-, tion. This will give the old rheu matic brethren another ; chance. Men waltz, not for the dancing, but for the hugging, and while a man may lose his appetite for dancing he has to get powerful old before he loses his appetite forrh'ugging a pretty girl.—Fool Killer. Taxmg Girl Bachelors. WhileAmericadiscusses with many mental convulsions thequestion whe ther bachelors shall be taxed, Ger many gets right at the crux of the matter and announces that not only bachelors—male ones-but girl bache lors and all unmaraied women : as well, shall pay a tax for their free dom (or loneliness, according to your viewpoint). To be sure, Reuss, where the tax has become a law, is one of the small provinces of the German empire, but the omen is portentous. We import many things that are "made in Germany.” What if we imported this idea, after due obser vation of its workings in .the land of the kaiser? The tax-falls on those of 30 years or mere, and is 5 per cent, on the incomes of; from §750 to $1,500. If the income is larger than $1,500, bachelorhood will cost IOpercent of the annual receipts! There is said to be much indignation among those who, like Dickens’ Bar kis, are willin’ and yet got .passed by somehow. It does seem rather like injury piled on insult.—New York Press. .
