MARCH 6. 1912:NUMBER 35 A Great Truth. Oue of our esteemed correspond- rc,jts is not pleased because, we I failed to dublish a long obituary \ uotioe of a death which he sent us. I He h as written us a letter which I Jje say s is not for publican but I (IorIv a piece of advice.” Then he I asks u s to quit publishing “ rotten ! politics, accounts of baseball games, stories of killing rabbits, weddings I ami other foolish matters, and pub i lish death notices just as they are ; sent in.” : We are sorry if our correspond­ ent feels aggrieved. Butwehave felt compelled to cease publishing obituary notices, cards of thanks, and articles intended to boost indi­ viduals or particular business en­ terprises unless they are paid for at advertising iates. This we are compelled to do in order not to fill up the paper with matter or this kind to the exclusion of matter that is of general ne ws interest. A snort report of a death / ■ giving briefly the facts about tLe matter is live news. But an obituary no­ tice is of no general interest and has no legitimate place in the newB columns of a paper. Likewise,, cards of thanks are not news nor are articles intended to boost an individual or a particular business enterprise. It would be just as reasonable to ask for $2 in cash as a present as to ask us to publish a column obituary uotice of a death after the news of the death has been pub­ lished in a former issue. ITet one would Dot think of asking the favor. Again, if we published all the matter that reaches the office of this nature we would have no space left for real newspaper matter. Our correspondent may not be in­ terested in any matter we publish except what he contributes, but we have 6,000 other readers who are paying us to run this paper and they are entitled to some consider­ ation, at least. We' had. as well- ran a column ad free for a mer­ chant. If we would do this we could publish 20 pages each -issue and then carry no real news mat­ ter. If we could get our paper given to us and our laborers wouid work for nothing, if the govern­ ment would pay our postage biHs, and if the town and county would pay our taxes, our .rents, and our light and power bills, we might afford to publish free everything that comes aloDg. It would give us pleasure to do so and we would have a high old time, but as long as all these little incidentals cost money it will be necessary for us to charge for matter other than news. - We appreciate our friend’s ad- vice. It has been considered. It is mighty easy to give advice,"and the less a man knows about a busi cess the more easily he can advise another how to run it. If our friend imagines newspaper busi­ ness is $ snap we wish he had a lew days’ experience. It is the biggest thing we ever tackled. In conclusion, don’t, send The Timesacard of thanks, an obit­ uary, or any other private matter v.nless you rend along the pay. If you do, to the waste basket it will go. ^re have run this shop 10 months .making' barely expenses. We likj it but cannot live on good feeling. We do the best we can to make the paper worth the money, and those who do not think it worth the price are at liberty ,to stop it and take some other paper “ot half as good.—Lincoln Times.

Theother day we receivecl.a verv encouraging letterfrom Salisbury, reading- on this wise: • “You please discontinue mv paper, also my paper when the sub­ scriptions expire.” Another letterr received one- day last week, had this to say: “I ilke your paper fine, a- :d it is a welcome visitor in our home. Iwbuld like tv extend itscLculati-'W' hi-ough- out our neighborhood, so pA-ase send me sample copies.” Thenext day the following letter from Cooleemee was received: _ “Find enclosed 25c. for whicl) please send me your paper.” From Advance the fo.'lowing- en­ couraging letter hails: "Please send The Recoid to the following addresses for onf -ear.” AU the letters we receive are not filled with sunshine and happiness. Some of them would not do to pub­ lish, while others would appear too co mplimentary. Of course we can­ not please all our subscribers. We are not even trying to do that. Many of our readers differ ire® us politi­ cally and religiously, i.ut W-? try, to deal fair with all. Occasionally a subscriber gets mad at an article and has his paper stopped, but as a general thing we add two new names every time we take off one. Our aim is to give the county news first, political matters and foreign news next. Thosewvho wish all the news of the world need a big daily. The Record doesn’t attempt to cover the country. In our next-issue we will doubtless be able to give you fur­ ther experiences of a country editor. Machine Restores U fe. Dr. J. J. McKannal-Ot three day liqnor fame, is In Richmond with one of the newly iuvented-Dreager- Pulmotor machines,which is claim* ed to possess the power of resusti- eatiug persons who have supposed­ ly died from asphyxiation or drowuing. There are at present but-three of the machines in the United States, one in Chicago', anotherin Pittsburg, and the third being McKanna’s. The machine, which induces artificial respiration and pumps oxygen into the lungs of the pa­ tient, is contained in a box about the size of a regulation suit case aDd can be carried by one man. In the box is a steel tank containing oxygen with :a pump, operated by the oxygen which is under pres­ sure. To operate on a person who is supposed to have succumbed from asphyxiation, the to igue is first drawn out by a pair c ’forceps and a rubber cup that g.JS over the mouth, strapped on to the pa­ tients bead. The machine is then set to work and first by means of vacuum, draws all of the poisonous gas from the lungs. Another form of rubber cop is tnen strapped over the mouth and oxygen pir sped in­ to the iuogs and withdrawn auto­ matically. The lungs are inflated and de pressed just as a normal" person breathes and it is claimed that a person who has bu;c asphyxiated for five hours, can be remsticated. It is also said to be «ble to restore -persons apparently drawned by drawing the water from the lungs and inducing artificial respiration. One of the machines was used in the case of several people asphyx­ iated in Chioagq severaL days ago and they were brought’back to life after being pronounced dead' by a pbysician. Mr. McKann has offered the use of the machine to the UttacheB of the city ambulance for any case where it can be used. The .-tank containing ::he oxygen will, it is said.resusticate thirty-two persons. The machine is. also claimed to be effectual in treating pneumonia by enabling the congested luugs.to ex­ pand and contract, allowing the patient - to; - breathe normally,—- Richmond Virginian.

The theme of the days seems tcrbe Hard Times,” especially that phase. of the subject which pertains to the unusually high priee of table sup­ plies. Why this is, I frankly confess that I do not know. Butfor hard times, in~ a general way, l ean see why there is now as ever, a certain percentage of the entire population that suffer more or less privation and poverty. The causes are almost as numerous as the individuals who suffer therefrom lack of skill and experience, lack of painstaking care, lack of-forethought extravagance, waste, intemperance, vice, sloth. “A little more sleep, a little more slumber, a little more folding of the hands to sleep.” A failure to put in practice Mr. Mc- Cawber’s excellent advice—“If your income be 5 pounds 8, and you spend 5 pounds 6, you will be happy; if you spend 5 pounds 10 you will be miser­ able.” In other words, pay as you go; keep within -your income, for, as PoorRichardsays: “Always taking out of the meal tub and never put­ ting in, soon comes to the bottom.’’ Some there are who can never seemingly, learn this. Even bitten experience will not teach them. “It is only a dollar, only a nickel, only a penny.” And so the nickel and the penny and the dollar go; often for something the spender were far bet* ter without, or, at best, can ill af­ ford—the chew of tobacco, the glass of spirits, the box of confectionary, the ribbons and laces, and 5 cent shows and 10 cent plays, and so on. Such people keep no books, no re­ cord of income or outgo, and when the money has slipped away, to the .very bottom dollar ,they greatly won­ der what become of it. Such are al­ ways spending but never having; al-; ways, bemoaning this ‘ unfortunate- lot and talking agaist those who look more closely after the pennies. Thereare some people, on the other hand, who- use better judg­ ment and more"self-control in the matter of spending, and who strive, bowever^mall their income, to yet save a little for the proverbial sore shin and rainy day. There are the ones, who, however much they mav. be disparaged by their more freely spending neighbors, almost invaribly be found looking after the really needy and striving poor. Rockford, III.

Gongressman Doughton of the eighth North Garolinadistrict says Woodrow Wilson, if nominated will not poll one-third as many votes as Bryan did. -JHeuIso says no Democrat can be elected who did not vote for that $75,000,000 pension steal.

Now, “theres going to be an overflow” , said old Noah, looking solemn; he was a reader of The Lash, and watched the river column. Aodhe hired up all the carpenters a loafin' in the land, and ’lowd he’s going to boild a boat to fairly beat the band, So Noah put a lot of men to loggin’ and.a sawin’, b.ut all the wicked neighbors kept a laughing and a jawin’., but Noah didn’t mind ’em he knew what was gom’ to happen he knew that forty days and forty nights, the rain would keep a drrppin’.

The ’possum, bad as fine a tail as the new song I’m singin’; the hair was long and thick and strong, just lit for banjo-stringin’; Thatmigger shaved tbe ’possum’s tail as short as wash-day grace, and strung that banjo with the hair, fronflittle “a” to bass. Ham tuned it up, struck up a jig, ’twas “never mind the weather,” for ft sounded like a thousand bands, a playin' all together. _ Some went to patting, some to dancing, Old Noah called the figures, and Ham, he sat aud picked the tune, the happiest of the niggers.

Undoubtedly one of the' chief causes of the high cost of living is to be found in the fact, that the average American consumes, every day a much larger quantity of food than his body requires. We are the greatest meat eaters iu the world. The table, which a few years ago saw a roast or steak or stew upon the,board once a day, now groans bepeath its burdens of pork ;and beef and mutton twice daily, or even three times. Tbe leg of lamb, which formerly was sufficient for dinner two days, now serves but one meal. We eat greater variety food thamwe reed, too, and,the average Ainerican in modcrate circuinstances who can-' not have in addition to his - roast two or three vegetables, a . salad and a dessert, thinks he is beiDg deprived of the necessities of life. Dr. Wiley believes, that as^a nation we eat too much, and is mot ashamed to give his own case as -a typical example. W iHrthat Inst Ior scientific analysis, which ever posseises him, he has -ascertained that he consumes daily 3,200.calo­ rics cfc food,' whereas he. could ea'si- Iy gel along on 2,000, and be. the better for it physicially and; finan­ cially. That he indulges thus in overfeeding simply proves-that he is a typical American.—Washing- ,ton Post. ' .

Not counting the few starved edi- toas who were present, the crowd was composed of a mighty fine look­ ing body of men. Notes of the Banquet. Editor Gunter, of the Winston Journal, attended the banquet given at Raleigh last Wednesday by State Chairman Morehead to the Republican State Execu­ tive Committee, and had the following to gay about, the occasion. Gunter is a Democrat, but a pretty good fellow, and his notes are well worth reading: The banquet was a success. There were something like 400 present, and was a fine body of men. Ths feeling seemed to be of the best. The cry of nearly every speaker was for unity—for the settling of factional differences. The banquet was served in the magni- - "ficientnew auditorium.' The Raleigh pa- •pers have been bragging about that audi­ torium. They have a right to. It’s a dandy. The menu was excellent, and the service, by the Yarborough force, was quick and efficient. Major George Butler- was one of. the most effective speakers. He also mounted a chair and told of the third district. There was perfect quiet in the. hall while he was speaking. h e fb a c k to Davie and ’Squire Wil-j Knrfees IteiM. Iifltnu will tie the knot to perfection UIt over from last week, and “happiness will perch upon his IVhile Butler wes speaking I. twitched a main, evidently a devoted admirer, who looked like he wanted to hug Butler, like they used to hug each other in revivals down in Moore county, He might have done it too if Butler hadn't had on a dress 8 tii't. As a toast-master, Mr. Thomas Settle is an artist. His introductions, without ex­ ception, were graceful. He introduced Butler as a man "whom we love for the enemies he has man.” When -the two Butlers—Marion and George—entered the hall after the ban quet was well under way, they were given generous applause. And when Marion Butler arose to speak, the applause was generous and prolonged and was most certainly sincere. Onecannothelp won­ dering at his popularity among so many Republicans. Certain it was that he had many friends among the banqueters. Mr. Morchead was the first speaker on the program, and his speech could .be called the “key-note” speech. After bid­ ding his guests welcome, he declared that, in spite of the^fact that in some parts of the South Republicans pay too much attention to patronage, the party is making progress, and declared: ‘T tell you that it is not an idle vision when I see in my mind's eye the caption in the papers: ‘The Solid South Broken! The Shackles of Political Serfdom Stncken Off! North Carolina Goes Republican!' ’. Marion Butler was put next to the last on the program. Whether this was done to itire the people out so they would leave before his time came or whether it was done in order to hold the crowd was not stated. But, whatever the object, it had the effect of holding the crowd, for many people—including all the newspapermen stayed through the long spe ches to hear Butler, ._____ Republican State Convention. Raleigh, Feb. 28.—The North Gitolina Republican executive com; naittee today selected Raleigh for the state convention, -to name dele­ gates to the national convention and. May 15 as the date,' The com­ mittee adopted, by a vote of 12 to 6, resolutions endorsing Taft’s ad ministration, the six opposing; the adoption being I. M. Metakins, C. If. Cowles, George E. Bntierf Cj, G. YaDn, J. Jenkins, and F. V . Hanes. The resolution declares, .“ We hereby endorse and commend the Hdminstration of President Taft,” and in a four-hundred-Wbrd doeu-1 meat reviews his handicap in se­ curing legislation and the firmness tact and judicial temperament with which he dealt with conditions. It is announced that Thomas Set-, l;le has returned to the state, hay iing resigned his assistant attorney generalship of the commerce conrl at New York for the avowed pur­ pose of taking the nomination foe governor, and it is understood that opposition to the North Oarolina present prohibition law and a re­ turn to the local option policy wil be one of bis planks. Republican State Chairman John M. Morehead denied emphatically this morning that there isaoy fonn} datiou at all for the report that hfe intends tfe resign the; state chair; macship. Secretary Gilliam Gi-Is som of the executive . committee, who is especially close to More head in his chairmanship duties, went so far as to declare that such reports would, but eminate from •political arch enemies; of' his chief and of the Republican party The responsibility for circulating snch a repor t he declared, could doubt­ less be traced to either the Duncan or the Simmons forces it there were any way to get at the real truth of the matter. ' At the big banquet given to the Republican leaders of the state at the Yarborough House tonight! by State Chairman Morehead, there were ,more than four hundred pres­ ent. For severalhoorsthe repast presented.a scene- of much good fellowship, and the speakers were at their best. Eloquence and - wit were never displayed to finjr ad vantage. - banner” hereafter.

Reynolds was especially severe in his denunciation of The News. He didn't -calf the name, but of course everybody knew, what he was talking about. In fact, the governor lambasted the whole Demo­ cratic press with mighty blows. He didn't make any exceptions at all.. His subject was “Our Debt to Our Papers, and he paid a glowing tribute to the ever-faithful Republican papers. District Attorney A- E. Holton has as his subject, “We Can Succeed Again," He declared IheRepublicancould succeed again “if wa attack the enemy for i ts broken pledges to the people.” He said the leaders of the Democracy are at wa with-each other and "are daily bringing into disrepute their leadership.” I: Mr. Clarence Call of the “State of Wilkes” made a good speech. He re­ ferred jocularly to the way the DemocmtS had shifted old Wilkes around, so that folks up that way hardly knew one day what congressional district they would be in next day. Mr. Iredell Meares of Wilmington was one of the most pleasing speaking speak­ ers on. the program. His subject .was “The Whole State,” ,but he didn’t pay raucii-attention to his Sfibjecf He made People laugh, and theVall liked it.

Each county is to pay its proportionate part of the cost of the bridge, the same to be on the basis of the num­ ber of taxable polls In each coun­ ty, and the contractors are to be paid iu full for the construction1 of the bridge by January I, 1913.

C., Feb. 24.—The South offers over $100,000,000 yearly to live stock raisera who will locate in that section and supply the de­ mand for meats. The South con­ sumes more meat per capita than any other section of the country. FiftySouthern cities are offering over $22,000,000 yearly to dairymen who will supply their demand for dairy products.” These startling statements are made in an unusually attractive booklet devoted to stock raising in the'Southeast which has^ just been issued by the Southern Railway Sys­ tem for distribution among stock­ men and farmers of the West and Northwest In an effort to induce them to move into this region and take up the raising of cattle, horses, mules, sheep and hogs, thereby en­ riching themselves and keeping in the South the vast sums now being paid other sections for meat and dairy products. Attention is also given to the great opportunities for profit in raising poultry. So important to the interests of the people of the South does the Southern Railway feel the live stock and dairy industry, that in addition to advertising to the outside world the great field open for profitable development in this direction, it is now operating a "Dairy Instruction Car” over its lines in the States served by it for the purpose of giv­ ing all possible information to the people at home about raising live stock and the production of milk, cream and butter. The booklet is filled with splendid illustrations of stock, forage crops, ideal dairies and pasture lands, and live reading matter telling of tfce exceptional advantages awaiting the practical dairyman and stockman in the Southeast, The wide circulation which this handsome booklet will be given by the Southern Railway and affiliated lines should prove an ef fective boost for the South, Oli Hymen!

The members of the State Board of Health may be very , wise men, and they should be, for their power is supreme, but it does 6eem that their edict abolishing quarantine of smallpox on the ground.that the disease is preventable by. vaccina­ tion, is unwise, senseless and dan­ gerous. - As well abolish the. law against the sale of laudanum on the ground that if a man does not drink-it, it will not kill him; or decree that a'' mad dog shall not be shot for the reason that' if peo pie get oat of the way he will not bite them, and therefore hydro­ phobia is “preventable.” — Fay­ etteville Observer.

ThV story comes from Chicago that Peter Bartzen, president of the county board, is puzzled by the case of Mary Magdeline.

C. Foster, formerly of near Fork Church, this county, but now of Statesville, in writing to the Statesville Landmark las-, week has this to say: ’‘I am glad you have opened your columns to the dog question. Put me down as one favoring a dog law. I have advocated such a law for a number of years. People who own stock are compelled by law to keep them up while the nasty dog is run­ ning all over the country, into every- bodyy’scook room, slop tub and chicken lot The family I am board­ ing with had to quit the chicken business last fall mainly on account of the dogs. Down in my conntry it is a very cemmon thing to see a s moke house full of dogs and the same family let their grocery bills go unpaid.

At the celebration of May-games it was the constant custom to elect tbe most popular lad and the pret­ tiest lass as King and Queen of May. They represented the sun and the flowers and took bo part in the sports, but sat all day in a bower, lookining on and smiling benignly at their subjects. Some­ times they were called Lord and Lady of May. In the fourth year of Queen Mary “there was in Fen- ckurcb Street a goodly May-game, and with the bine worthies who rode—and each of them made his speech—there was also a morrice- dance, and an elephant and castle, and the Lord and Lady of May ap­ pearing to make up the show.” In one of Beaumont and. Fletcher’s comedies an appretnice appears upon th e stage and declaims: “With gilded staff and mossed scarf, the Mav Lord here I stand.’’ Gradually the Lord of. May ca-jiw to impersonate Eobin Hoodand tbe Queen, Maid Marian, In an aid ckurch-warden’8 account for tbe parish of Saint Helen’s, in Abing­ don, we read: “Paydo for the setting up of Bobin Hode’s bower eighteen pence.” OneMay morningGatherine of Arragon and her ladies were fright­ ened by the sudden entrance into the queen’s chamber of thirteen disguised men in green short coats hoods and “hosen of the same,” each bearing his “big bow with arrows, and a sword, and a buck-, ler.’ They performed several danc­ es and departed, bnt not until they had revealed themselves as' the king and twelve of his nobles. Once two .hundred of the king’s officers, all clothed In green and headed by “Bobin Hood” met the royal pair and their retinue, “rid­ ing to take the air” and invited them to see the ,“ forest home.” Blowing their horns the two hun­ dred archers led the way to an ar­ bor of green bonghs, “having' a hail, a great chamber, and an i n- ner chamber, and the whole was covered with flowers and sweet herbs.” Upon “Robin’s” invi­ tation, the guests sat down and were served with venison and wine and much merriment. In a sermon preached before King Edward YI, Bishop Latimer said; ‘'Conijpg to a certain town to preach, I found the door fast locked. T tarried there half an houre and more, and at last the key was found, and one of the parr ish comes to me and says; ; ‘Syr,- this is a’ busy day with with us, we cannot hear you, it is: Bobin Hood’s day’. I was faype, there­ fore, to , give place to Bobin Iloode.” ”;- Who was this Bobin Hood-and why should he be King ,of Mayt Kext week the Greensboro Normal Coliegegirls will explain.

Uncle Toby’s Lecture A few days ago, about February 12, we saw three robins in our back yard. They didn’t seem to be very busy at the time, bnt I suppose rhey have been employed in taking- notes of the weather con­ ditions in this latitude, Spring­ field, Mv.-. They disappeared, and we ha vr not seen them since. I suppose they he.v 3 leanw that the ground hog had not come out of bis hole, and went back Bouth to report that fact to their brothers and sisters. It is well tb ay did— so far since then we have had some weather that would be pretty cold ffir the. red breasts dressed as thin­ ly as they are. Iam making these obsarv ^dons asJt prelude to saying that when the robins eorae it i§ usually time to make soap. I make that state nr tot merely as a centra) proposi­ tion, for re must ix.j«»aber that one robin does not n.;^ke a spring; nor neither do three; b ;i when von see them come in La jehei and be gin to hop around among the bonghs of ‘he trees, evidently look­ ing for a'place to build a nest, yon may be pretty sure that Old Win­ ter has shaken Spring from his lap and told her to “get busy.” In accordance with a long and well- established practice, it is then time to make soap. Some people pnt it off until whipporwill time, .bnt the industrious housewives who can persuade their hnsbadds, or other male help on the farm, to construct an ash hopper will want to begin her soap making with the coming of the robins. The construction of an ash hop­ per is an art. It is also hard work: Your TJncle Tobey graduated, in the art, part of it at the age Of a- bout ten years, under the instruc­ tions of his father. He also gradu­ ated in the work, part of it Under the directions of his mother, and took a post-graduating course -un­ der the supervision of his wife.- He has learned all the intricacies of old-fashioned soap making on the farm. If it were possible he would like to get out and help all the good wives who read the Home add Farm make soap this spring; but as this is impossible, perhaps the next best thing is to write a few words of instruction on the art of making soap. The fiitt thing to consider is toe construction of the asn htpper. A water tight pig ti iugh , r e hewn out of the half ot.a small log which ha9 been split in halves. This trough should be flaiteued on the bottom and placed On a sulid foun­ dation with One end three or four inches lower than the otner. At the Io ft er end a small holt should be bored through. the u«j ;tom of the trough, through whicL' f/ u Iye can run. Now get four posts a- bout five feet long, and place them in the ground a foot deep and in tbs shape of a rectangle, with the end post; about tonfeet apart, and so as, .to make a frame about three feefc wide ant* iiv" feet long. On the inside of thvse pc its, neair the top, nail pieces of scantling or iound poles so as to make a com­ plete frame around your trenoh.be- Iow. v Now gather up some old. boards and begin the construction of We hopper by putting cue end of the board in the trough and al­ lowing it to lean against: the scant­ ling which constitutes the frame above, as nearly perpendicular as possible.. Nail it there, and con­ tinue ttiistontil you have gone en­ tirely-around the frame, making a box or hopper, that will hold the ashes. The cracks between- the boards should ,be stripped on the inside with shingles or thin boards.; If there are not old boards enough' lying loose around the place and no saw mill near, some may be knocked off of the stable or other outbuildings where they are npt needed during the warm weather of the summer,. ... At any rate, when you once be gin the construction of the ash hopper, flush it if you have to confiscate the buggy-shed and hall of the barn. Before putting in the ashes, cover the bottom well with small sticks about the size of corn cobs, and over these spread a lay er of straw or hay from two to four inches thick. Itis a good plan, especially if your ashes are not very strong, to put a coat of lime about an inch thick on top of this straw, Yon are now ready to be gin putting in your ashes. A fterputtingina layer about twelve inches thick, they should be tamped down with some blunt wooden instrument. An old-fash­ ioned “nigger” maul is best lor ’his. Borne of our young readers may not know what a “nigger” maul is, but there are enough -old peisuiis yet liyiug to explain it. Cci iivue this operation, layer af­ ter layer, until the Ijopper is filled to the top, where a flat basin should lie formed- large enough to hold several buckets of water. The ash hopper is now ready for busi­ ness, and awaits the further pleas­ ure of the industrious housewife. When the proper time arrives the basin on top is filled with- water. This is usually done in ■ the even­ ing, for it often takes twenty four hours for the water to seep tbrbn the mass of ashes and begin run­ ning out at the little hole in the bottom of the trough in the form of lye. Sometimes the ashes have been packed too tight, and- the water wifi not penetrate them. In this case it is well enough to. take the rod from the end gate of the wag­ on and perforate the ashes with a number of holes to the depth of two or three feet. Again the ash­ es may be too loose, and the water which has been put in the basin above, will penetrate the ashes so rapidly as to fail to assimilate the chemical property necessary to make a strong lye. A matter of this kind causes the housewife and usually the other members of the family, a great deal of trouble. Bnt few women who are good soap makers sieep much the first night the water-is poured on, as the'lime for the lye to start run­ ning.isas. uncertain as the verdict of a jury. If it starts at midnight some cue has got to hover around that ash hopper dnring the - wee sma’toours of the night, in order to * save the lye from wasting. Thera are various ways of testing the Strength of the lye after it comes from the hopper. Some peo­ ple pnt it to their tongue; it it takes, the skin off it is considered strong enough to make soap; if it don’t, the lye must go back throu the hopper again. Another way <>? testing the strength is to put a fresh egg iu the lye; if the egg floats on top, exposing enough of itseii to Constitute the size of a qua i’tor Or half dollar, the liquid has sufficient strength. When the lye is considered to be in proper condition and a suffi­ cient quantity has been drawn off. it is put into a large iron kettle, which is swung on a pole, each end of which rests upon a. forked stick securely fastened in -the ground. This makes it convenient to re­ move the kettle from the fire by simplylifting one end ot the pole and swinging it around. A fire is now built under the kettle, aud a certain proportion of old grease, that has been saved for this, pur­ pose, is put ijjto.thq lye.. Nobody knows juBt how much grease should be put in the-kettle with the lye. If it was ever.known it is a^Tost art. The best of soap makers are sometimes baffled in their attempts to balance the lye and the grease. If the kettle boilB over, and it al­ ways does, there is either too much lye or too much grease: or too lit tlegreaje or- too Jittle lye: This It Acritical time, as^wbeu it hap pens the soap maker , should in­ stantly pour into the kettle a small quantity of lye; if this doesn’t stop it from boiling over,-put in a little grease; if it still persists in run­ ning over lye a little more; wait' a minute, and if it does not'.stop grease it again; if that does not help it lye again; by this time e* noqgh will have run over, to put out-, the fire, and the boiling will stop altogether, bnt the good house wife will be no wiser than beforfe. Ahpther fire must now be bnilt up, and the work continued. Making soap; is no child’s play. It is hard work, and- carried with it many trials and tribulations. To watch ihe.kettle boil, to pour water ‘on the ash hopper, to see that the Iye is strong enough and does not run over, and that the logs do not steal the grease is very .trying. on a woman’s nerves. The length of time required for making soap in the old fashioned way is from one day to six weeks. It sometimes begins with the com-‘ ingijof the robins and lingers along through the ever changing1 moons of springtime weather^ until -the plaintiff notes of the whippoorwill are heard calling to its mate down in the new ground where the fresh plowed soil is nntnring into life the grains of corn that have been com­ mitted to its bosom.—Uncle Tobey in Home and Farm.

Washington, D. C., March I.— The growing importance of the Southeastern section Cf the United Statis as a pork-producing region is shown by an analysis of the live stoed*, statistics of toe United Stato^made by the Southern Rail­ way Company. The. estimates of the Agricultural Department show a total of©5,410j000 hogs on farms and ranges in the United States on January I, J912, a' decrease of 2i0,000 as compared with January I, 1911. On January I, 1912,!the numbeCiOf hogs in the Southeastern States traversed by the lines of the Southern Bailway Company, with the increases in each State, were as foliows: Virginia, 880,000, an in crease of 26,000; North Carolina, 1.405.000, an increase of 54;000; South Carolina, 797,000, an -in­ crease of 52,000; Georgia,"2i098,000 an increase of 225,000; Florida, 954.000, an increase 87,000;" Ala­ bama,1,533,000, and increase of 114,000; Mississippi, l,577,000, hn increase of 156,0001 Kentucky, I, 724.000, an increase of 98,000; aud Tennessee, 1,574,000, an' increase oif 75,000. Tlie total number of hogs in the nine States on January 1st, this year, was 12,542,000, an increase over January 1st, last year, of 887,000. Large as these figures are they do not measure the full progress of the Southeast as a h. ; raising sec­ tion, for, with the more extended raising of pure-bred bogs, there is a corresponding advance in the average quality and weight of the Southeastern hogs.

As the price of eggs come down, the price of sugar goes up. What an inconsistent old world this is, any­ how. If you do not pay your poll tax be­ fore May 1st, you cannot help to _elect a Redublican president this fall. _____________ Kitchen and Simmons have been saying some mighty sweet things a- bout each other. Seems that Aycock and Clark are not in it a little bit. EveryRepublicaninDavie is urg­ ed to get busy and see that not only his neighbor but all his friends pay their poll tax before May 1st. TheDemocratic ladies in Washing­ ton are to give a harmony breakfast soon. Surely the ladies have not gone to scrapping over politics. Itisthoughtchat the man who sent out the report four weeks ago that the backbone of winter was broken, froze to death last week. The following resolutions were :?dopted by the Republican State Executiri Com­ mittee at Raleigh pn February 28, ■ 1912. We hereby endorse aiid coipmend .the aiminstration of PresidenTaft. Confronted from the beginning of bis adminstration until today with a series of difficult, complicated and ejnbarasaing questions, many of them calling for legis­ lative remedies, he has met the situation with fltmness, tact and judicial tempera ment, and largely through his personality has secured much needed legislation Ifrbm Congress, when he has at no time during his adminstration been able to invoke the aid of a cohesive firm party majority. There has not been an hour during his adminstration when the Republicana I* Congress could pass a strict party meas­ ure. We especially commend his pcsition on the tariff. His insistance that the tariff should be dealt with scientifically; with the aid of accurate knowledge of conditions and de­ tails, rather than in a partisan, theoreti­ cal and speculative manner, and in the absence of authentic information and knowledge; is fundamentally sound. This is practically admitted by.the con­ duct of die Democrats in Congress. If the wool, the cotton and other bills passed by the Democrats in the last ses­ sion of Congress were imperative in de­ mands for speedy action at that time, those same demands are as imperative today. Yet with the detailed report of the Ta­ riff Board now available, the Demoerate say those schedules are now “too hot to handle’’from their view point, so they begin an experimental operation on steel Respect for constituted authority is the only sure foundation for government of any kind. ■ No stability, no progress is possible without this. \ . We, therefore, commend PresidentTaft for his unyielding attitude in ; opposition to the assaults upon the independence and integrity of the Courts of Justice of our land and deeply deplore the tendency to depart from the fundamental principles of popular government as 'enuciated by the Constitution. He is the embodiinent of progressive conservatism. The Committee commends these . sug­ gestions to the people, who are and of right ought to bethe final and supreme authority under the constitution, and to their consetvative and so b er ncoiid thought;, which has. always been, the -bul­ wark of the party and the safety of the Republic. Mr. “The cussing schoolmaster,” “the. cigarette fiend, ” “the pension graft­ er,” “the big stick.” and many other smaller and larger fry are in the race for the Presidency. Every Republican in Davie county is urged to do three things before the first of may—pay your poll. tax, go to your primary and attend the county convention. The Charlotte Observer is a pretty fair-minded sheet? but their report of the Raleigh meeting in last Thurs­ day’s paper appeared to be some­ what twisted. Help us to get out a better paper by renewing your subscription or subscribing for The Record. We want 150 new subscribers by April ■1st. We can secure this number easily if you will assist us. Those of our people interested m a building and loan association, should get together and discuss the matter. The people and the town need such an association, and we know of nothing that would do them more good. Repnblican State Convention May 15,1912. Persuant to a resolution passed by the Republican State ExecutiveCommitteeat a meeting held In the Cityof Raleigh, on the 28th day of February; 1912, a Re­ publican State Conventioh is hereby call­ ed to meet in the City of Raldgh at 12 o’clock, noon,-tin Wednesday, May 15, 1912, for the purpose of electing four dele­ gates at large and four alternates to the National Republican ' Convention,, which convenes in Chicago, Illinois, on June i8, 1912, to nominate, candidates for Presi­ dent and Vice President of the IJnited States.

Must be afraid we will get such a law. The Recotd would be glad to hear from its sub­ scribers in regard to a dog law, Davie county has too many dogs and too few hogs and sheep: The little me-too Democratic sheets have begun to howl Butler, Bonds and Booze. Butler is all right and the Democrats are more afraid of him than of a rattlesnake. The bonds were sold by a Democratic Ad­ ministration to the Tobacco Trust,, and the Booze was consumed by the Democratic Convention at Charlotte four years ago When Kitchin was railroaded in for Governor. The groundhog handed us some fearful dope last week, the . worst we have had this winter. On account of our bad roads, Mocksville will be cut oil from, the rest of the world for the next month. Davie county needs better roads and- should have them. Every man in the county ought to be willing to vote for bonds to build. roads. The; farmers and_ merfihants are both suffering these iays as a result of badr roads. V-l. Asheville, March 8.—the mystery of the death of Myrtle Hawkins, whose dead body was found floating in the waters of Lake Osceola Sep­ tember 10,' 1911, was brought a step nearer to solution this afternoon when the Henderson county grand jury, sitting at Hendersonville, re­ turned true bills charging murder against AbnerMcCaIll his wife, Be­ atrice McCall, and George Bradley, and a woman "unknowns to the jury. "Boney” Bradley, a brother o f George, is charged with being an ac­ cessory before the fact to the mur­ der, and Dan McCall, father of Mrs. ,McCall, is charged with being an ac­ cessory after the fact. Immediately'following thereadirg of the bill of indictment, warrants were issued for the indicted parties and all were arrestedabd placed in Henderson county jail. Dan Mcpa l was tonieht admitted to. bail in the sum of $10,000, but similiar action was refused in the case of th« oth ers. The Bradleys and McCstils wHl be tried at the May Jtejgi pf the Henderson county supeiijgr court. The bill of indictmehj|peeifies that the parties named ther£ihhad guilty knowledge of a criipftal operation which resulted in thesdeath of j^irtle Hawkins. , letter From Florida. - # Gamp Capron Farm, St. Lucie,' Fla. Editorij-From the heading you see I’m up here where the beans, tomatoes, strawberries, pineapples and other good things are in abun­ dance. Thebungalow is a fine place to stay, and enjoy the ocean breezes and appeals to the finer senses, but the old farm that furnishes the wherewithal to appease the gnawing In a fellow’s gizzard is the place you will find this old coon most of the time. I don't only/change planes,, but I change occupations too, once in a while—at least I do down here. Believe the last time I wrote you I was putting in most.of my time with hook and line. Tor the last' weekor two I’ve been diversifying (bejieve that is the word for it), fish part of the time and gather oysters some, and if you won’t Jieli it on trie, I’ll tell you I’ve took the ladies in co­ partnership with me. r' A_ bunch ^f seven of us boarded the little sail boat the other morning and with a gobd breeze run across the. river and into one of the coves between the river and ocean and found a fine bed ofi the lucious bivalvous. The -young folks, three girls and three boys, got overboard and the way they sloshed water and scooped in oysters was just to my liking. In abotit two hours they had the boat loaded. My part of the ,contract was to build the fire and get things ready. ? And such a dinner of roast­ ed} fried and stewed oysters as we had was wprth any old chinchy Da­ vie countian's time to have stood by and-?- but ! won't say what. We brought a barrel and then some more iome for our friends, and somebody said that was one of the happy days of ,thei? Iiye3. Since the blows that gaVemeali that uncalled for anxiety and about forty-eight chills to boot, as the 0. -C. W. price list quotes, but I’m not going to have any more now, see if I do. The weather has just been fine and the way things are growing would make my old friend Bobchange his chew of to- three times every minute.

[Everything went all right till I got o*i top the fence, or near enough on Jtop as I thought to Spring over,; but my toe hung in a mesh and with niy gun in one hand and a string of birds in the other, there was something happened. .Of course my head hit the sand first and to anybody that knows anything about this soft Florida sand. I need not say how deep that old head went, Suffice to say the ladies have got seven quarts out of my ears already, and it feels like there was at least that much more in there yet. So if any doubting ones want to invest in Florida sand, send them on down with a hoe and help me get it out and the deal is closed. The wanderer, " E iL . Davis.

Charlotte Observer., It is stated in a Washington dis­ patch to The .New York Press that the Hon, William Jennings"' Bryan, “the strongest individual force in the Democratic party,” has not yet made up his mind: definitely whom ■he will support for the Democratic nomination for President; but “from what can be gathered by those who have intimacy with the Nebraska statesman, Kern is easily his' irst choice, Bryan regards the Indiana man as a very big and broad Demo­ crat, one who would fill the Presi­ dency with distinguished success. This’ view of Kern is not generally held in Washington, but there is no doubt Bryan holds it and that he is sincerely interested in theSenator.'' Mr. Bryan’s intimate friends, it is further stated ‘'know that he is a- gainst Hannon, Cham Clark, Folk and Underwood,” and “they have every reason to beiieve that he would have Woodrow Wilson only as late choice.” It is further stated by this remarkably well-informed,' pos- silily ill-informed, correspondent that “there is hardly any doubt that Bryan prefers New York’s mayor (Gaynor) to Woodrow Wilson.” We can hardly Delieve that there is any truth in this story because there have been 8o,many reports to the contrary. It is one of the. live questions of the day, however, and it is worth nothing possibly in pass­ ing.- We should not be greatly sur­ prised; indeed, we should not be sur­ prised at all, if Mr Bryan himself should loom at the Convention in Baltimore as the. only Democrat, taking one consideration with an­ other. who'could be counted upon ts the savior ,of the party. It is true he would probably lose the country, but he would.be able to keep the party together .-Charlotte Observer.

NORTH CAROLINA. WEDNESDAY. MARCH W 1912. low the affairs of the party to be controlled by any one individual and especially so when it is borne in mind that the office of National ComuiitfSeman is filled by the voice of the people; that it is, con­ sidered in BepubDcau States a per­ functory and an hoaoiaole position only: that the inuividua! occupy­ ing it is amenable and answerable to neither the people nor the State organization; hedged in by no au­ thority and subject to no restraint. Such a manner of control as we have had is inherently unsound, is fundamentally wrong, is most de­ structive to all proper party organ ization and is a serious hiudrance to party growth. If it is considered advisable to accord, by the action of the Con­ vention, to the position of National Committeeman dignity and author­ ity,- which would seem entirely- proper and logical, then let us make the position part and parcel of our State organization and make the individnal filling it responsible to and bound by the majority ac­ tion of onr State Committee, rather than permit the National Commit­ teeman to roam the entire political pasture, unbridled and unguided except by personal preferences that may be exercised regardless ol lo­ cal and even State-wide sentiment. The last Federal Jndgeship ap­ pointment has been been generally accepted as a glaring example and practical' demonstration of the working of this referee system. So much for the plan and scope of the present policy of your State organization. Your Committee is firmly of the opinion, if this policy is honestly administered, and Hf The sugges­ tion of making the office of Nation­ al Committeeman a part of your State organization and its occupant bound by the action of your State Convention and State Committee —and if we will register opposit­ ion to indefinite, possibly life, ten- nre ol office—then, instead of con­ stant bickerings. fjietiiwj differ-, ences aDd working at cross purpos­ es, we will be in position to pre­ sent a solid front Co the opposition and in the final outcome the poli­ cies of EepublicaniEim will become dominant in the State. J t is the belief of the Republi­ cans and of a great many intelli­ gent Democrats of the Ptate that the tenets and principles of the Republican party will foster and develop the material and indus­ trial interests of our State and its citizenship far mare effectively than will the vagaries which have been offered to the people by the Democratic party. The sober sense and sound judg­ ment of our thinking men, regard­ less of how they vote, do not ap­ prove the many and various isms which have of late years been dosed out Jom the bottle labelled “Democratic Doctrine,’1 all Ot which were catch-alls of the mo­ ment only, and all of which were promptly rejected by the country at large. On tbe other hand, a majority of our citizens can and do grasp the everlasting principle and foun dation stone of Kepublicauism—■ “America for Americans,” and jt is the belief in this principle that will eventually make this State Republican in fact as. well as in sentiment. This result, however, will be brought about only when we have put an end to our family rows and devoted ourselves to an honest ef­ fort to make our principled domi­ nant. Nor can we hope to succeed so long as any element or faction sulks or renders covert aid to Democracy —which has too often happened in the past. - When we train our guns on De­ mocratic mismanagement in the form of such gross extravagance as to entail the issuing of bonds to pay the running expenses _ of the State government-^-aad this in the face of a most burdensome increase in all property valuations and tax assessments throughout the State; when the Deople awake to the man­ ifest and acknowledged shortcom­ ings of our public school syBtem and its failure to adequately per­ form its functions undes Damocratr ic administration; when we can make the people of the State real­ ize that they have been cajoled and cozened into keeping perpet uaily In.office a very smJI and se­ lect company of profess* ■ .1 Po11' ticiaus, chronic and confirmed of fice-seekers and.office-holders, pie punters” by nature and profession who seek one office not with the idea of devoting their, time to its dp ties but amply to make of At f '"“MSs&i stepping;stone to another office higher np; when we demand a sane, economical and' progressive State adm inistration and put for­ ward, men capable of giving sncb, instead of men whose chief endeav or is to keep their names perpetu­ ally on the public pay roll; when we cease tearing at one another’s throats and fight mismanagement and Democracy instead of each other, we chn with reasonable as­ surance expect success, but riot until then can we face the future with that hope and expectation begotten o fa full confidence in the reason and righteousness of ouf cause.’ Ju st as all successful enterprise or organization is but an aggrega tion and combination of details, so attention to details is essenfcial and im perative to successful- political organization. The following suggestions are re spectfully submitted as having a vital bearing on the campaign now immediately ahead of us: _ 1st. Pay your poll tax in ample time to prevent disfranchisement and follow the Divine teaching as to being your brother’s keeper at least to the extent of reminding him to'pay his, if he approves Re­ publican policies. Tt matters howi live or active a BepubIican you may be three hundred andsixty- four days in the year, if you can’t vote next election day in Novem-I ber, you are a “Dead One.” . 2nd. Beginning with your pre­ cinct primaries, see to it that you; and every other Republican in the precinct whom you can influence! responds to the call, votes, and; votes his true sentiment,. Make an honest effort to get every sym­ pathizer with the policies of the party to go to your Primary and enroll his name as a Republican. Make a special effort to induce! those yotiog men who have just; reached their majority to cast their! Iot with the party which Btands for progress and protection of: American enterprise and American labor; these young men are less fettered by tradition and prejudice than their elders and more open to conviction. 3rd See to it that men of weight and standing, of personal and po­ litical influence, are selected as members of your Precinct and County Committees. A house is no stronger than its foundation. If your party organization is based on men of character and influence, the moral effect of such selections will lie promptly felt throughout .the community, and will give an inpetus and momentum to your ef­ forts well nigh immeasurable. 4th. See to it that the delegates to yonr County Convention are legally chosen, and send repre-' sentative men, and let there be no place in any>.Convention for any delegate who is without the proper credentials from an open and legal Primary. 5th. Have your County Con­ vention send as delegates to the Distriet and State Conventions men who have been legally selected by a majority vote of-the County Con­ vention—representative men who command respect and who wear no man’s collar, but whose sole pur­ pose is to do those things which they believe are for the best inter­ est of the party and who, having discharged this obligation to the best of their ability, will abider the decision of the majority without Chagrin or malice and take off their coats and put their shoulders to the wheel for the sake of party success. if these things are done we will have a campaign organization vir­ ile and effective, and results will certainly follow. There is never good ti me to be faint-hearted or lukewarm, and this certainly is no time to listen to -he disaffection of the disgrunt­ led and juaundiced croaker. The Republican party will live and its policies and principles will live as long as tbe nation exists, for they .are both founded on etern­ al right and it is a privilege and an honor ro be the individual in­ strument that puts into operation and perpetuates the principles which mean so much to the wel­ fare of onr people and to the pro­ of our State arid Nation.. In conclusion, as time approaches for electiou of a new State Com­ mittee and Chairman, it is proper that the very deep appreciation of the present Committee .and its Chairman be expressed to all those who have so loyally upheld and supported the policy and acts of tbe organization. While the State Committee has po dqubt fallen short of Jte-Wit aims and hopes, we nevertheless believe that a great stride in the direction of party emancipation ahd in-the-direction of home rule has been made and that, "if this movoment is carried on by. the succeeding State organization, and if we will put in charge of that or ganization men who have more in­ terest in the success of the party’s principles and less in the control of patronage—in short, an organi­ zation which will command respect by reason of its sincerity of pur­ pose and devotion to the principle and one riot remarked for its eager­ ness fori “pie,”—we can appeal in full confidence to that intelligent body of voters who are seeking re­ lief irojri this latter-day tiend of all Democratic and Socialistic doc trind arid who desire .sane, con­ structive and progreseive legisla­ tion based upon, but not at vari ance with, the fundamentals as laid down by the fathers in oor Constitution. . The State' Committee has bent every effort toward the total elimi nation of boss-ism arid one-man power, And voters are rapidly find­ ing out! the real source of all the opposition to this absolutely ne­ cessary reform and will place the blame for any failure where blame belongs,. To those who have sincerely en­ tertained ideas at variance with the wishes of the majority ot .the party as expressed at out last Con­ vention, we hold out the hand of concilliatiori, cherishing no malice, desiring only better mutual, under­ standing, to the end that all ele ments of. the party may strive for the common goal of Republican success. All of which, in behalf of the State Executive Committee, is re­ spectfully submitted to the consid eration of the Republican voters of the State. J ohn M. Mo r eh ea d , Chairman. A ^fan Poor But Rich. Once, in New England I was driving with an old farmer, and some of the men of the neighbor­ hood came under criticism. Speak­ ing of a prominent man in the vil­ lage, I asked, “Is he a man of means?” - • ' ^ “ Well, sir.” the farmer replied, “he ain’t got much money, but he’s tiilghty rich.” “He has a great deal of land, then?” I asked. • “Nb, sir, he ain’t got much land neither, but ~ still he is mighty rich.” The old farmer observed my: puzzled look for a moment, with a pleased smile, and then explained: “You see, he ain’t got much money, and he ain’t got rnnch land but still he is rich, because heriev- er went to bed owing any man a cent in all his life. He lives as well as he wants to ljve; and he pays as he goes; he doesn’t owe anything, and he ain’t afraid of anybody; he tells every man the truth, and does his duty to him­ self. his family, and his neighbor; his word is as good as a bond, and every man, woman and child in the town looks up to hirf and re­ spects him. No, sir; he ain’t got much money, and he ain’t got much land, but still he is a mighty rich man because he’s got all he needs and all he wants.”—The Outlook. PoetMeetsPoet. A north Miesonri farmer whose hog was killed-by a train wrote to the company’s claim agent lor a settlement Bays a writer in the Columbia Statesman. He penned his communication thus: “Dear Sir—My razor back strolled down your track a week ago today. Your twenty-nine came down the line and snuffed his life away. You can’t blame me, the bog, you see, slipped through a cattle gate; so kindly pen a check for ten, the debt to liquidate.” He received the following reply: “Old twenty-nine came down the line and killed your hog, we know; but razor backs on railroad trackB quite often meet with woe. Therefore, my friend, we cannot send the check for which you pine. Just plant the dead, place o’er his head, 'Here lies a foolish swine.’ ” To Mothers-And Others.

Judge Parker is yet to hear front. Baltimore and Chicago are going to have their hands full during the month of June. The reign of the ground hog is supposed to be over, but we’re not going to take any chances • Good roads, a dog tax, building and loan association, cotton mill, and more people, is what Mocksville needs. use. Of course there are olher ani­ mals that convey this disease to the Ihiiman, but not often enough to be of any concern. Why no law of this kind has been enacted long since is a profound mystery to me. The man most opposed to a dog law is least able to care for dogs, cruelly keeping several lank bounds that prey upon his Tieighbors. AU such men should be dealt with for cru­ elty to dumb brutes. I have been keeping house for 20 years and have yet to see the necessity of keeping a dog, Now as to roads. A blind man could see the importance of good good roads. Now, Davie county is. a veritable mud hole at present writing, and I find that Forsyth is in same condition with exception of the macadam roads. Their graded roads are really worse than ours from the fact that a lot of thes? roads are new made soil and they are wet to the bottom. A road oth­ er than macadam or sand clay seems to me to be a failure and worthless expenditure of money. I so, far fa­ vor the above measures that I am ready at any time to vote for same. Thomas T.

Dog Law and Good Roads. Mr . Editor;—I see in your issue of today that you solicit from -your readers an opinion as to a dog law and good roads law. I must say so for as I am concerned that I have advocated a strict dog law for sev­ eral years. I also am in favor of permanent road building. As to the dog. law I favor a reasonable tax bn each and every dog and the muzzling of all dogs. By this means the number of dogs would be nat­ urally cut down and the quality of the remaining would be much im­ proved. Bythe muzzling of dogs they would be unable to depredate on our neighbors’ sheep and hens nest,' but by far the greatest bene’ fit would be the entire elimination of hydrophobia, the most dreaded, disease of thje human race. Thisi plan has been adopted by Englmid consequently, making the. disease practically unknown there. Our State now is maintaining an institu­ tion known a? the Pasteur institute for the prevention of hydrophobia at a considerable expense to the State, when if they would enact a law taxing and muzzling dogs: this institute would soon pass into dis- Two More Arrests In MyrtIe Haw­ kins Case.

One .ofthe many interesting and valuable hints for the [housewife contained ia-the Eagle-Thistle feook book recentljfcpublisned by the Ma- thieson Alkali Works of Saltville, Va. is a time table for cooking.

The Eagle-Thistle cook book isfree and you can secure s copy by sending your name and address to the Mathie- sori Alkali Works, Saltville, Va. If you will also send 58 cents, money order or stamps and the tops from six packages of Eagle-Thistle soda they will send you an elegant set of six Rogers sterling silver plated tea spoons.

There are unhappy ^married lives, but a large percentage of these unhappy homes are due to the illness of the wife, mother or daughter, The feelings of nervousness, the befogged mind, the'iH-temper, the pale and wrinkled face, hollow and circled eyes, result most often from those disorders peculiar to women. Por the woman to be happy and good-looking she must naturally have good health. Dragging-down feelings, hysteria, hot-flashes or constantly returning pains and aches—are too great a drain upon a woman's vitality and strength. Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription restores weak and* sick women to sound health by regu­ lating .and correcting the local disorders which are generally responsible for the above-distressing symptoms. * / “ I suffered greatly for a number of years and for the past three years was so bad th at life was a misery to me,” writes Mbs.

A t each period I suffered like one in torment, I am the mother of six children. I was so bad for five months that I knew something must be done, so I wrote to Dr. R. V .' Pierce, telling him as nearly as I could how I suffered. He outlined a course of treatm ent which I followed to the letter. I took two bottles of 4Favorite Prescription’ and one of *GoldenMedicallMscovery* and a fifty-cent bottle of 4Smart-Weed,* and have never suffered much since.

It is bad roads and the neglect of the people who fail to look after the building of good roads which is directly responsible for a big percentage of the present high cost of living, for without the farmer the city would soon starve. Theoountry “jakes,” as many hair-brained city “jelly-beans” cills the farmer, support the city and make such possible. A care­ ful survey of all of the cities in the United States will find that 99 per cent, of them are not self support­ ing. They would starve to death if the farmer would shut down and rest a full six mouths. Trees wealih back to its infancy, and you will fiud its birth comes from the toil of the farmer and the soil: No thinking man will deny that. Yet the farmer is about the poor­ est paid workingman in all these United States. In a great measure he has no one but himself to blame for he holds the situation in the hollow of bis hand, if he would but conduet his business on the rigid and high plane which the business man of the city does. The great fault -of the farmer is that he does not stop the little leaks. They are the tilings which count and kill. Good roads close the largest leak hole which the fatmer has to contend with—bad roads open it. The average farmer of today is far above in intelligence tlie farmer of twenty five years ago, fo r the reasou that he now has tb, advantage of intelligent govern mental advice if he will but ask for it. His boys have the advan tage over the boys of a quarter of a century ago, for the reason that experimental schools where they teach farming on a scientific basis are now in existence and all vof these go to make the farmer a bet ter business inau. How many farmers of today Veep a profit and loss accountf How many are there who can trace the less back to a definite starting point? ■ One must admit that there are few in eompaiieon to the number iti existence. If the farmer will but study the sroocl road question he will sooq see that it. is to his benefit to have them surround his farm. Then and not until then, will he stop the one big vital Jeak in his farming opera­ tions.—Jack Maxwell iff Lawrence Union. Cotton 181-8 Cent*. What do you think of thalf It sounds good and is a fact that a bale of cotton sold in Statesviile yesterday for 18i cents a pound. It was not ordinary cotton, how­ ever, but the long staple variety. Tbe cotton was grown by Mr. A, D. Brawley, the .Barringer town ship trucker, and is, so far as known, the first bale of longstaple ever produced in Iredell. Mr; Hen­ ry Steele, of Statesville, was the purchaser. Mr. Brawley says it eost a little more to grow the long staple cotton but the difference in selling price more than makes up for the cost. His bale was produced on about two and a half acres but the season was unfavorable. He thinks with a good season the long staple will yield a half bale, or more, to the acre. The seed sell for $2 per bushel but Mr. Brawley has no seed for sale. He will plant all the seed from this hale atd will try the long staple again this season.— Statesville Landmark.

When this tube'is inflamed you have a rumbling sound or im­ perfect hearing, and when it is en­ tirely closed, Deafness is the result- and unless the' inflammation can be takeri out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine ca ses out of ten are caused by Catarrh which is nothin but an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces.

A Fierce Winter.^ The present winter has been re­ markable for its continued periods of cold weather and for its frequent snow and sleet storms that have vis ited this vicinity. During January a trace or more of snow fell on four days, four in February, and two to date in March. Sleet occurred on five days in January, four iii Febru­ ary and one in March. During. the "Sanie nrjntha in the year 1911; sleet fell on one day in January and snow on one day in February and: during the winter of 1910-11, snow and sleet occurred but five days. To date .01 of an inch of snow has occurred on seven days. This record has been exceeded but twice, the yeats 1885 and 1895 each having eight tb their credit. SinceNovember I, 1911,; on 65 days out: of a possible 126, the tem­ perature has been 32 degrees or be­ low, an unusual record for this sta­ tion and which has been exceeded but once since the establishment of the weather bureau office at this place, that exception being the whi­ ter of 1903-04 when 68 days with freezing weather cccurred • during the same period.

Agt “HERE SHALL THE PRESS, THE PEOPLE’S RIGHTS MAINTAIN; UNAWED BY INFLUENCE AND UNBRIBjED BY GAIN.” VOLUMN XIII.MOCKSVILLE. NORTH CAROLINA WEDNESDAY. MARCH 27. 1912.NUMBER 38 Needlessly Blind. There are estimated to he one hundred thousand bliud peiaons, old ami young, in this country. Not loss than five hundred of these live in North Carolina. Had it ever occurred to you, gentle read­ er, that at least seventy five to one hundred of these need not have been blind—fought not to have been, and would not have been— if proper precaution and prevent­ ive measures had been employed immediately after their birth? “ What blindness means to an intelligent,-capable man or wo­ man,” to quote the words of a blind man who has, in the* face of heavy odds, taken his place in the world with sigaal success, “is something which only the Lord and the devil and those who en­ dure it know anything about; in their blankest nightmares, those with sight can not even imagine it.” That it is possible to prevent much of Buch anguish seems not to have dawned upon the average citizen. Is such ignorance and in­ difference not criminal, positively wicked! Then who is responsible? From one fourth to one-third of all blind children lose tbeir sight from what is usually called “sore eyes,’’ “imflammation,” ete. This is really “ophthalmia neonatorum” a germ disease, which can be cnred if taken in time and the proper remedies used. These remedies should be applied as soon as the child is born, whether any signs of inflammation or discovered or not. The remedy will do no hurt; it may save your child’s sight. Il the eyes, nose, mouth and ears of every new-born babe should bethorougluy^^aildimmediatt^j after its birth in a weak solution Oj boracic acid (borax water), one drop of a solution of nitrate of sil­ ver, not stronger than one per cent, put in the eyes, and the ehild thereafter kept elean, blind­ ness among children in our State would be reduced at least twenty- five per cent. Do you realize a hat that would mean to the one hun­ dred homes in North Carolina in which there are children “ need­ lessly blind?” And are you aware that it would save the State financially to thus preserve the sight of all such child­ ren? Not less than $20,000.00 a year. Isit not worth the effort? Then does it not behoove every one to do all in his power to spread the information and to seek to bless the homes into which the little ones come? Leteverymother heed this warning and preserve the sight of her child. John E. Ray. Prin. State School for the Blind, Raleigh, N. C. Robin Hood of Sherwood Forest cr “Dickon-Bend-the-Bow.” “Here begynneth a IytelI gesteof Robjn Hode and the meyne and of the r proude sheriffe of Nottingham, Lithe and listen; gentylmen, That be of freebom blode, I shall tell you of a good yeoman. His name was Robyn Hode. Robyn was a proude outlawe. Whiles he walked on grounde; So courteyse an outlawe as he was one - Was never none yfounde.” - The severity of the tyrannical forest laws introduced by the Norman kings, at a time when Englishmen were everywhere trained in the art of shooting with the lopg-bow. occasioned a great number of ■outlaws. These fled to the woods for shelter and, forming into troops, endeavored by their numbers to protect themselves. A- tuong these, Robin Hood, who3e chief re­ sidence was in Shirewood Forest, Not tinghamshire, was affirmed to be “of all theeves the prince and most gentil theefe.’’ Born at Locksley, his real • name was Robert Fitzooth. Having outrun his for­ tune and being outlawed, he lived as- a *tee loiter in Barnsdale, Sherwood, and Rlompton Park. Historians telI us that Ws betas noires were the abbot of St, _ s, in York and the sheriff of Not- fiogham; that he took the goods of rich ®en only, wrighted women's wrongs, and uharitably fed the poor. He killed no man •av* in self-defence, “entertained an Wadred tall men and good archers upon whom four hundreu— were they ever so strong—dared not make ■ -ie onset.” He was the famous sub;’ hxx of popular songs as early as-the reign of Edward QI. The Wizard of the North introduced him into two novels. Innumerable legends have gathered about his name and many dram­ atic pieces have had him for their hero. Such a play has been written for the May Fete at the State Normal College by Mr. and Mrs. Robert Dick Douglas of Greens­ boro. Mrs. Douglas is an honored alumna of the college and a member of the Adel- phian Literary Society, while her husband is an honorably member of the Cornelian Literary Society! Robin's personal .courage, his Skill in archery, his fidelity to his comrades, and his humanity rendered him a universal favorite and bestowed upon him the dig­ nity ef an earl. On his tombstone near Kirkley’s nunnery, where his treacherous sister bled him to death in his old age, is inscribed this epitaph: “Here underneath this little stone Lies Robert, Earl of Huntingdon. No archer were as he so good. And people called him Robin Hood. Such outlaws as he and his men Will England never see again.” Robin will come to life for the May Fete at the Greensboro Normal College, May 18th. Southeni Resources. Washington, D, O., March 3.—.

Roosevelt will be the only candidates voted for in our primaries, for president, and I will further say that under our plan of organization adopted two years ago, v^e have one of the simplest, primary systems ever adopted. Seetion 9 gives every voter who attends our township and precinct' primaries a chance to vote tor his choice for every of­ ficer from president down to town­ ship constable. The writer of this article had the great pleasure and honor of writing that part of section 9 which gives minority.representation, and which guarantees to every voter who attends the party primaries the privilege of voting for his choice, and requiring that vote to be cast in the nominating conven­ tion just as he cast it in the pri­ mary. This should eliminate any trouble in the state convention as to how North Carolina should vote at Chicago. There is no reason why there should be any bad feel­ ing engendered or animosities stir red up as to how the votes of this ttate are cast for president or any other officer.. Let every adherent of the two candidases insist upon the carrying out to the letter sec tion 9 and ,the convention at Ral­ eigh May IBth will only register the will of the voters as expressed at the primaries. Minority repre­ sentation insures to each candidate his pro rata part of the state vote. While the writer has a preference, and intended to exercise, his right to Vote for his choice, he does not propose to fall out with anyone else for exercising the same privi­ lege. Under our plan of organiza tioh North Carolina’s vote cannot be cast as a unit, unless all the people who participate in our pri “Stop Your Paper.” We are in a receipt of a letter from, an eastern town which Eays: “Plense stop your paper at once, jh lam tired of furnishing ammu­ nition to shoot my friends with.” That was all; but that Was en­ ough to be a bit disquieting. It reads like an order to stop the whole business of publishing a newspaper, but. we finally figured out that possibly the gentleman merely desired to discontinue his subscription. Iu that view we have acted on the order and bis name has been stricken from the mailing list. .Biutwearestillpuzzled at the closingpartof the letter. • What does he mean by “ammunition to shoot my friend* with?” M he hasfurnished any ammunition we have not received it.

In the first place we cannot afford to dis rupt our party, and go into jibe campaign-divided and at outs Oi-er candidates. When great govern­ mental piiueiples are at stake, even representative government "is in the balance. Tfie nominee for president is a secondary considera­ tion, compared tov the principles which should be enunciated in our platform. The new fangled IsmB being advocated by certain men should not cause us to lose sight of the great rights and privileges we have so long enjoyed under one of the greatest, best and freest gov­ ernments in the world. Thework of the builders of our constitution, aud representative form of govern­ ment has stood the test for more than a century and any changes modifying our coLStitution the great bulwark of our liberties should be approached, and made with due care and caution. Theie are no insuperable barriers' be twixt the people and needed re forms and changes. To make haste at once and repent at leisure are reminders strewn along the pathB of fiien and na’tions and shows a- Iike the fallability of men and. the fall and decline of nations. Presi­ dent Taft in my mind is the em bodiment of progressive conserve tism, a man whom Colonel Roose velt says does not allow personal considerations to govern him In the discharge of his official duties, and he does that which he thinks is right regareless. of consequences Is not that the kind of man- we need at the head of our govern meht? Do the masses want a time server, and one whq waits and lis­ tens IOx popular clamor before, he moves in the discharge of his du­ ties? Dothey want a man for president who will give more time to the dispensing of ‘federal patron­ age to the favored few, than he will to the services of the great masses who are neither expecting or asking for office? I have dili­ gently scanned the newspapers and have read the many criticisms of Piesident Taft to find out if pos­ sible the motive and cause of the opposition to his renomination, I don’t wish to misjudge anyone, or say unkind things about those who differ with me as to their choice, but I have looked, in vain fort charge that President Taft has failed to carry but as far as he was able, the platform pledges of the party, or that he was corrupt, and derelict of his duty. I have failed to find any such charges. Then what have I found to be the great cause of opposition to his renomi­ nation? The great sin of commiss; ion laid at his floor is, he did “ •rive a certain office to. this or that man. In the first plafie, there were not offices enough to go a round. In the second place, he did hot give some of them to par ties who thought they deserved them. One other charge I liked to have overlooked, was, that he found a majority-of both houses in Congress Republican when he as­ sumed office, and now the house is Democratic and the Senate nearly so. Have our memories grown so short that we forget how hard a time Mr. Roosevelt had with a Re­ publican Congress in getting from them laws which all claimed the party had promised to enact? Did not President. Taft find as much or more opposition from certain Re­ publican representatives and Sen­ ators, in his efforts to carry out the platform promises made in 1908 than did Mr. Rooseveit? It strikes me that if we are willing to do simple justice to our chief magistrate, that we will place Re­ publican defeat in 1910 on a Re­ publican Congress and not on the president. Go to Washington and read the Journals of both houses, and see if Republican representa­ tives and Senators have not voted and on many occasions are ' not voting against party measures and often with the Democrats. It's the legislative part of the Repub­ lican party which is to blame for the people turning from them in 1910 to the Democrats in order to rebuke those who had refused to stand by Republican principles. I hope to be in a position to vote for the nominee next November, and who he is, is a minor consideration with me, but the platform my par­ ty adopts at Chicago will decide whether I vote the Republican National-ticket, or take to the woods. In conclusion I wish to sound a note of warning to our people, for I hear it rumored that a fight is going to be made to change our plan of organization. We have a very good plan and the only fight will be made ; by time serving, machine men to kill mi nority representation. If the peo pie want fair primaries and con ventions where every Republican’s Wote is couuted as castrued a guar­ antee that the majority shall rule in all our conventions, let- them send men instructed to vote for and uphold minority represents tion. No honest man who is will ing to trust the people objects to minority representation. The man who is after something, aud is afraid to go before the people, and let them decide between him and another, is not the man to be trus­ ted by our party. Every man for bis choice, and all for a united front to the enemy, and victory at the polls in November should be our watch word. E. H Morkis.

A Statesville merchant who is handling limbertwig apples'was ask­ ed the price. “Fifty cents a peck,” he answer­ ed blithely. “What!” almost yelled the man who had asked, and who can’t get it out of his head that notwithstand ing the scarcity of fruit the Iimber- twigs should retail at 10 cents a dozen or 25 cents a peck. "I’ll tell you,” said the dealer, “These limbertwigs have been ship­ ped from Taylorsville to Richmond and then back to Statesville, and the handling and transportation of course adds to the price.” “And there ye a-r-e, ” as M r. Dool ey would say. Apples grown within 20 miles of us, shipped away to Richmond and then back home—and we pay the price. Butfolksjust must have things t’lat come from far off. They prob­ ably wouldn’t buy these limbertwigs at Taylorsville. They prefer to get ’em from Richmond and pay the ad­ ditional cost. It makes the apples taste better.

Getting Folks Unchoked. Shep. Dugger, in The Elk Park Vim. Some time ago according to a n - port here, Hesther Farthing, of Saginaw got choked on a piece of steak at Spruce Pine. After Drf. Peterson and Butt had failed to re­ lieve him, he was brought home n a wagon, where Dr. Lovette aud a physician from Ashe county, then veiling in the community, were called iu. When they had given up the ease and the patient was a bout to die for the want of breath, Willard Prichard ran an umbrella -rib dovn his throat and punched i out. Ihavejustretnraed from Newlaud, where I told Harrieon Callaway about this affair. He re­ marked that he knew a better way than that to get a mao unchoked. He said that some years ago, when he lived with his father on the head of Watauga river, a Mr. Pat­ rick of Virginia came to buy his father’s cattle. While at supper he choked on a piece of chicken’s gizzard. He jumped up .and ran out into the yard, and as he stood half bent oVer, heaving with all his might, the bulldog .ran out from under the floor, with a ter rible growl, and grabbed him by the leg, when the gizzard flew out and killed a rabbit twenty-five feet away.

The Arkansas lawyer was summing up for his client whose cow had been killed by the defendant railroad cor­ poration’s locomotive. “Gentlemen of the jury,” he began, "if the train had been running as slow as it should have been ran, if the bell had been rung as it ort to have been rang, or the whistle had. been blown as it should have been blew, none of which was did, the cow would not have been injured when-she was killed.'* Thestory reminds me of another Arkansan, a long, lean hilly-billy who straggled into an Ozark village and questioned a native thusly: “I don’t reckon you don’t know nobody what don’t want to hire nobody to do nothin’ nowhere 'round here.” The reply, equally intelligent, is reported Jo have been as follows: “No, I don’t reckon there ain’t no­ body got nothin’ fur to pay nobody for nothin’, so there ain’t no chance furnobody gittin’ no job.”—The Mirror. .

If the weather permits the start will be made about April I. While co time limit is set by Mr. Dennis, the local automobilists say' they hope to accomplish the Btunt in at least 15 days. The two gentlemen will alternate in driving _lhe car. The driver will sit on the tank, where by , a- greeineot a seat is to be prepared, and will steer the machine with his face to the rear.
