JANUARY 8. 1913.NUMBER 27 MYSTSRlf SOLVED KEEP THE BOYS ON THE FARM. Stanley Farmer Tells How to Manage The Farmers’ Boys. Albemarle Chronicle. There is one other question that is now bothering the farmers of the United States, and that is how to keep the boya on the farm. The Stauly County Parmer has seen'all' kind of receipes on this, but Pm told that they won’t cure. Just as soon as the boys get big enough to light a feuceiail or burst their suspender buttons, they want some thing lighter and aim to go to the city to get a job shoveling tooth picks or some other featherweight article. Last weekIgot a letter which states: “My boy is seven teen years old and inclined to be a little fast. \Vhat would you ad vise?” . The first thing to do with the lad, friend, is to shoe him with long toe calks and tighten his sus penders. This will teed to curb the speed and also tend materially to regulate his ambition. A youDg man when first turned loose in,the world is like a bull yearling in fly time, inclined to be speedy and promiscous. Put a pair of wooden shoes on him and let him pull cuckleburs, If be has a desire for- recreation, take him to his grandmother’s grave. Don’t trammel him as to company —have him attend the undertak ers convention and teach him to be an embalmcr. This will make him sociable and give him a cheer ful disposition. ^ ^ ' Aboy must have perfect free dom. Let him di^ post holes and dean out hog pens while you go to town with the top buggy. Many a boy has been spoiled by com pelling him to ride behind a pair of horses in a carriage. It is not natural for a boy to pull on- the reins. Get yourself a new automobile, and bore a two inch hole through the door of the shed so the boy can look through and see the machine. He will spend hours in this way, and while he is doing this he will not spend the time in riotous liv ing. Don’t be stingy with your boy. Give him a dime every six months and tell him how to spend it. So much money is wasted by foolish spending. Then, too, many a boy has gone wrong from worrying over how to spend his money when he has so much given him while j)n the farm. Should a circus come to town be sure to have your boy see the street parade. The contaminating influences of a circus are all on the inside. You should see these j our self and tell your boy about them. Ifyou are afraidtoshowhim the animals in the show let him climb a tree or look through a fence crack at a distance. H ew illthen come away and go to the barn whistling band music to the rats. Don’t ask your boy to wear woo den shoes to the church . Get him a nice pair of cowhide boots with red tops and thick soles. He might meet a snake and want to kill it. Also do not ask your boy to wear stiff high collars, or he would have to jump up or get ^n a stump to spit over it, or break his neck when he looks up to see the catter- pillar’waltz down the lightning rod. You should pick out an old maid witih a farm and a bank account for-yoiiir son to marry, and teach him the frivolity of ribbons and bright colors. Build him a log house on the farm and let him spend his Sundays after preaching, closing np the worm holes in the logs. Thiswill cultivate his pa tience and make him more obe dient to his wife. Tell his wife to wear blue aprons, so that when he looks at her he thinks he is gazing at'the sky, and seeing angels. Hif actions will cause the wife to make molasses taffy and paint her cheeks' with pokeberries, thus improving her sweetness and appearance. Il jiou can get the boy to work all night ouce in a while it will tend to shorten his gait, and by' ehaiig-.- ing teams on him twice a day for a spell when harrowing soft ground; you will soon get hitn so that he will not step ,so high. If. this won’t cure his high stepping make’ him gather frog eggs in a pond for persimmon pudding. - A young lady in this county has) a canary bird that always picks at the diamond on her finger ring when she hands him his Ioodj and’ s"e wants me to tell her how she can stop the bird from this. Ifow there are a lot of. ways to break; his ta^te for diamonds, but this is the best way: Just before you go to feed the birds Bdake your ring red hoik, put it on as usual and let him ^ake a peck at it. Cne time will scorch his tongue enough . to teach Ittim better. If your finger gets blisters from the haat, spank the bird. •• The Worthless Cnr. I A. L. French, in Progressive Farmer. ^ Sometime ago, I was traveling from the western end of our State toward Richmond, Ya. Sitting ip a seat just behind me was a lady and a little boy. A strange look in the lady’s eyes attracted my at tention. I have seen the same look in the eyes of good motherly cows when they believe their offspring to be in terrible danger. It is sim ply the breaking moth^*bsiajjfe showing thru the “window of soui.’ I asked the lady to tell me of her trouble, if she would, as I couldI 'see it ihad something to do with the little lad who was sitting by her side. It seemed that 20 days before, a strange cur dog, passing across their farm had bitten the little fellow—not enough to hurt him any, and nothiug was thought of the matter, as it was supposed that tie boy had be»n teasing, the dog. That morning, 20 days after the child had been bitten, news came that the dog was mad. The mother, of course, snatched up her little lad and drove as fast as hor ses coaid carry them, ten miles to the station, and yon that know anything about mothers, kuow that sh i was praying every mom ent tnat the train would get them to the institute in time to save (lie little fellow from one of the most horrible deaths that we have knowledge of. He was a fine laid.. My State raises thousands of Sucli3, and it is certainly a pity that.their lives should be menaced, at all times, in order that our gentlemen of leisure, both white and black, may Lave an abundance of “coon dogs ” Of course, in our State, there are only about 200 people bitten each year, bat this totals quite a tidy little budget of heartache, a,nd an guish of spirit. And you that aie' of a mercenary turn of mind can figure out quite a money loss also, as the cost of treating such eases runs from $50 to $250 each. I could, of course, drift off and tell also of the hundreds of thous» auds of eggs that the cur dogs of the State suck annually, and that should have gone to nourish the poor children of the State. Of course, too, a good many valuable sheep—that our State can ill atfo d to lose—are killed annually. Then getting back to the mad dog mat ter, it is a ' well known fact that whenever ia mad dog passes thru a section, many valuable domestic animals are bitten and have to be destroyed. 'But I musn’t say that North Carolina—and every other Southern State—needs a dog law, that will rid the State of the wort h iest curs that nobody owns,- and others that nobody feeds, and oth^ ers that nobody keeps at hcine— ji’.e .explained Ms disease and ar- where such livestock belongs, for. j.ranged to make his test, if.I should 'advocate such a law. j; Fpi' sixty-six days Forsman took some gentleman■ would-rise np andjoniy1 water, He lost more than ask, “ Hadn’t I ever 'read Seuatorl-twenty five pannds in that time Vest’s tribute to the dog?”was very weak. However, ! believe I will haz:ml He then took a small amount of it anyway, and say that I be lieve our people are ready for a law that will do away with this curse_ of curs, by taxing every dog in the State, creating a fund at ea«ii coun ty seat from which funds may be drawn to pay for damage done by •logs. First, let' the expense of treating the mad dog cases in the county be borne by the dogs. Then when animals are bitten, let the: dog fund pay that. Then let the dog fund pay lor all animals or. poultry destroyed or injured by; dogs, and finally, if anything is left, letit go to the school fund,; and thus will the dogs help to edu cate our children while they are biting them. .

We received another letter shortly after reading the one published above. The writer may be a Progressive or Democrat for aught we know, but his letter was far more appreciated. It. reads: “Dear Sir:—Enclosed you will find a. money order for 50 cents , to pay my subscription to yo.ur paper. I like your paper all right.

Saint Lucie, Fla , Jan. 2." j Mr. Editor:—AhappyNew Year greeting to you and my friends. J My trip down here was a pleasant, one and the reception these good people gave me was proof again that life is worth living, and its been beach parties, oyster suppers, f clam bakes and fish fries every day or night since, with a big house warming, as they ealled it, here on the place in a new house that my nephew and neice, Mr. and Mrs. Hackett moved into yes, terday. I’ve had some of the fin est duck shooting of my life.

The weather is just ideal and the fruit and vegetable crops are fine, but the growers say prices are not near what they were a year ago. How strange it seems. Jnst a week or two ago when I left- home it was oold and frosty, and -when I got down here, I found the child ren going to school bare footed, the fruit trees loaded with fruit, ahd the gardens lull of all kinds' of vegetables, and we will be. eating strawberries in a week or two.

Nosr a ieller’s double, you kuovr, is another fp.ilsr 80 much like the other felier that you cairt tell which the other fel Ier is. Aud when Uiem two fellers happen to meet Ior the first tiinei it is worth while to be banging a-j round. « i Woodrow Wilson’s double lives i (or did live) in Charlotte. IiT. C. I disremember .his name, but- that don’t uiatler. Tae point is that the Charlotte feller paid freight on himself to Sor1 Girt, Sew Jersey, for the purpose of getting his nau>e in the political pot. Now you ought to have been btandiag there just like I was when them two fellers got their lamps on each other. They grabbed one an other by the fist and begun to prauce around there like they had found a mare’s nest and contun t count the eggs, and in about thr^e 8'iakes ol a sheet’s tail I euuldu’t tell t’other 'iom which. Weli, Woorlrow and his double just had a hee old time together for » few minutes, and then they stepped back and begun to look at each other sorler seared like. I saw once what had hapjpened. They bad simply got mixed up so bad they conldn’t tell t’other from which, nuther. It was pluia piti ful to watch them stand there and, to pick themselves out. Finally they gave it up and went to the hou»e to see what Mrs. Wiison could do about it. She looked them over and said one looked about as much alike as the other, it not . more so. To save her life she could not- tell which was the next presi dent, but she guessed it woukl take ’em both to hold down the job. Atlastcheyconcludedto sets Ie it by pitching a coin, and which ever got heads would be Woodrow. The coin roiled off the porch and the old rooster swallowed it. Then they agreed that whichever " could catch the rooster would be Wood row. So off they went, lickity- spiit, while Mrs. Wilson stood on the porch hollered “Sick ’em.” The old rooster riz and flew straight toward Bermuda. Oue of the pur suers gave it up and quit, but ‘the other chartered a boat aud went on, It happened to be the Charlotte feller .that went od, although nei ther of them have the leasit idea yet which it was. I know the fel Ier kotch the roobter because I heard him sqna.ll. I guess Wood row’s double is busy picking roost* er leg about now. As soon as he gets that rooster all eat up he will come back here aud try his hand at the president business, while Woodrow will hang around tLe White House and try to get a clerkship in some of the depart ments. I almost forgot to tell ye that the rooster what swalleiel the coin was the Democratic rooster, and now the poor feller is dead. Boo-hoo.—Fool Killer. A Good Article.

"HERE SHALIL THE PRESS, THE PEOPLE’S RIGHTS MAINTAIN; UNAWED BY INFLUENCE*AND UNBRIBED BY GAIN.’ VOLUMN XIV.MOCKSVILLE. NORTH CAROLINA. WEDNESDAY. JANUARY IS. 1913.NUMBER 28 Uncle Tobey’s Lecture On Babies. Special Correspondence Home and Farm. About twenty years ago I was in advertently forced into the grand father business. I have been in it ever since with more or less success. While I do not carry as large a stock of grandchildren as some grandfathers the business is being conducted ou a safe basis, and there is no danger of bankruptcy, or of race suicide. We pay cash for everything and if an increase of stock were necessary could meet all bills promptly. I have been in this grandfather business so long, and have become so attached to it. that I do not care to dispose of my interest and retire. The last acquisition to our sup erb stock was a wee, tiny bit of humanity of the feminine gender, Bhe came into our possession about four months ago and is making good. She can laugh loud enough now for you to hear her in the next room and cry loud enough to be heard in the next block. Being grandfather to an ever increasing stock of young ’uns is a good deal what you make it. If the business is conducted properly there is a good deal of pleasure and happiness in it. The grandfather business is one of the oldest and most useful of all occupations. Not all men are grandfathers, but most men expect to be sooner or later. Those who are not and never ex pect to be are not much account. Sometimes a grandfather is happy and sometimes he is not—unless hie could be happy in the midst of a Comanche war dance. I am writing- this much about grandfathers be cause wherever there is a grand father there is bound to be a baby.' Ii the race of grandfathers would run out there would be a great fall ing off in the baby crop and dan ger of race suicide. Babies are the salt of the uni verse, and a whole lot more things which I .will name pretty soon. Some of the best men aDd women ■that ever lived began life by being, babies. There were babies at the very beginning of the world and I suppose there will be to the end. . AU babies are pretty, but some are prettier than others. There has been a whole lot written about others, but there is a whole lot jnore to write about them. The baby is an autocrat about a house; it is the paramount issue, and, like Bryan, wants to make its own platform. It usually gets all it wants and sometimes more; then it has the colic. Babies have their up9 and downs just like other people. Some of them hgve more ups than downs; that is when you put them down yon have to take them up right now. A baby never gets down in the month. It cau wake up the neighbors in the house across the street. This new baby of our’s has more ups than downs and if she can keep that up she will have a jolly good time in this world. The small events in a baby’s life are usually considered great affairs in tire family. Its first advent is a great event and shakes society from ,center to a circumference sometimes of several miles. Then when it cuts its first tooth that is a thrill ing event. The exciting details must be told to everyone who vis its the house, and runners are sent oult in every direction to make fenown the joyful tidings. When a baby is born of wealthy parents tbs news is flashed oyer the wires a|nd the event - attracts almost as much attention as a game Cf foot ball. When a baby is born and the mother gets along well, and the father don’t have fits, it is usually a joyfnl event, yet we don’t know what its future may be. If a boy he may be elected to Congress and ruin an otherwise useful career in discussing the tariff; or be may study medicine, look wise and thoughtful and prescribe calomel and quinine, with an occasional dose of salts; or a. jury: of twelve men may elect him to the peniten tiary where he can learn a useful- trade. It is too sad to think about let us hope for the best. It may be that they will elect themselves a farmer or a farmers’ wife and theu all will be well. The little tot that came to us four months ago is almost top sweet to name. Her mother calls her Ernestine; her hither calls her a “little bunch of sweetness.” I have not. found a name for her bat think “Tiny” would be a fitting abbreviation of her real name. Once I read iha London paper of an offer of a prize for the best definition of a baby. A great many people responded and sent In their definitions.. There were hundreds of them and most of them were good. I know that Home and Farm goes into thousands of homes where the baby reigns supreme; into thousands of others where it has reigned, and into others where it will reign. To all those I know that some of these definitions will be of interest, and I have selected a few which I think are about the best. They are as follows: A tiny feather from the wing of love dropped into the sacred lap of motherhood. . The bachelor’s horror, the moth er’s treasure, and the despotic ty rant of the most republican house hold. - A human flower untouched by the finger of care. The morning caller, noonday crawler, midnight brawler. The only precious posession that Uever excites envy. The latest edition of humanity, of which every couple think they possess the finest copy. A native of all countries, who speaks the language of none. The unconscious meditator be tween father and mother, and the focus of their hearts. ’ About twenty-two inches of* coo a,hd wiggle, writhe and scream fill ed with suction and testing appa ratus for milk, and automatic alarm to regulate the supply. A quaint little craft called inno cence, laden with simplicity and love. A curious bud of uncertain blos som. A thing we are expected to kiss and look as if we enjoyed it. The smartest little craft afloat in home s delightful bay. ' A mite of humanity that will cry no harder if a pin is stuck into him than if the cat won’t let him pull her tail. A little Btranger, with a free pass to the heart’s best affections. It’s a sweet and tiny treasure, A torment and a tease. It’s a autocrat, an anarchist, Two awful things to please. It’s a rest aod peace disturber. With little laughing ways. It’s a wailing human alarm, And terror of your days. That which makes home happier love stronger, patience greater, hands busier, nights longer, days shorter, purses lighter, clothes .shabbier, the past forgotten, the future brighter. ‘DID YODIVlE STOP TO THINK!!” how important it is to have your prescriptions filled where the great est of care is taken and every drug is accurately weighed and measured?

Wanted—A list of Democrats who don’t want office,, ond old maids who wouldn’t get married if they had half a chance. Sunday School Institute Mocksville laptiist Church, Jan. 24-25-26,1913 Iredell is building good roads on the west. Rowan on the south and Forsyth en the east. If Davie don’t soon get busy building good roads, we will be known as the “mud hole county” of North Carolina. FROM OKLAHOMA. “I enclose 50 cents to renew my subscription to The Record-Ior 1913. I can’t do without The.Record. It is better than a letter from home each week. I hear from all my old friends in Davie. We are having a very nice fall and winter. Too dry for wheat, but nice for gathering crops. Cotton is about all out. I have been watching the good road movement in North Carolina. ’ I trust they will improve the roads in old Davie before I make another visit. They needed a mud boat last winter while I was there. Long life to The Record and its editor. Chas. L W ooten.” FROM SMITH GROVE. Dear Mr. Editor:—Smith Grove is a small village just midway between Mocksviiieand Hall’s Ferry, on the direet road from Winsson to Mocks- ville. We have three stores, one church, one school building and one shoe shop. Wehavenolawyers or doctors, a splendid location for eith er, for when a fellow gets sick or has a fight with some one, he wants help right now.. As we did not get the court house and jail and rail road, we certainly will get the sand clay road, if ever built, because it is on the direct road from Winston to Mocksville. One thing certain if we miss the good road through here, old Nick will be to pay, for he will sue the whole county for damage. One thing we can boast of, and that is the largest white oak tree in the county.. It measures at the ground: thirty feet in circumference, and covers a space of ground ninety feet in diameter. It is said that Rev. Jacob Sheek, grandfather of Hon. J. L, Sheek, cut the top out of it when it.was a little bush. Itstands in front of the David Harris house. A great many are marrying which makes me believe they are haying confidence in the administration of affairs. I will say that the . people of Davie county should not eat or sleep, se to speak, until they get sand ciay road from Mocksville to Hall’s Ferry, and a steel bridge cross the Yadkin river at or near Hall’s Ferry. Christmas passed off quietly here, Nobody hurt, nobody drunk as I know of. The Sunday school had i very interesting entertainment at the church on Christmas eve night, The little children seemed to, enjoy it very much. Withbestwishesforyou and- all the. readers of The Record, and peeially old Mrs. HiKi. We certain ly would like to see the poor old tiling. F.

' HORN-JOHNSTONE CO., .MANUFACTURERS “THAT GOOD KIND OF FLOUR.” ii Don’t Work for Yoor Relatives for Nothing. In an article in a recent issue of Farm and Fireside, entitled '‘The Only Safe Way,” the writer says: “A maiden sister had lived for thirty years with a married brother who had a delicate wife bearing' the brunt of the work and the rearing of the children, receiving in all that time her board and clothes and a little money for her trifling wants. Then the brother died, and after a short time the sister-in-law married, leaving the nurse-housekeeper seann- stress-burden-bearer-in-general o f . the family homeless. “Every unmarried woman living without wages in a relative’s home this minute should, without delay, remedy her condition. If the rela tive needs your service, a fair wage should be paid. Before it is too late put your life on a commercial basis, and begin earning money. It doesn’t take a great deal to make a woman independent, provided she begins before age disqualifies her. Good housekeepers, good women for' sewing, for taking care of children, for helping in the minor complaints of the household and for a thousand and one other things are always needed. A young woman who was first called here and then there to help out in the families of brothers and sisters, came to her senses one day and refused to go without pay. Of course, they were angry, but she set to work to find steady employ ment as housekeeper, and is now comfortable, independent and happy. So, my dear ladies, who see the gray hairs creeping near the temples' and who have not a penny to your names, listen to these words of wisdom. Do not allow false pride nor a false sense of duty, nor any other thing, except the care of an old father or mother, keep you helpless or in want.” Chronic Constipation Cuved. vFive years ago I had the worst case of chronic constipation I ever knew of and Chamberlain’s Tablets cured me,” writes S.

JANUARY 22. 1913.NUMBER 20 HOW TO GET GOOD ROADS.i W. S. Wilson, in Progressive Farmer. AN overwhelming majority of thepeo pie favor good roads and w»ntthem. The men most bitterly opposed to road taxes and road bonds prefer traveling over a good road to traveling over a bad one. We must therefore, look back of the fact that good roads are favored and wanted, to find out why more of them are not built. The one absolutely essential thing in road building is money in larger quanti ties than can be raised by taxation ex cept in a few of the wealthier localities. In most cases a bond issue is necessary, and bond issues are not popular. Busi ness men who do not hesitate to borrow money to use in their own business en terprises oppose bond issues for roads or other purposes. Why is this? If itbegoodbusinessto borrow money for a private enterprise, why would it not be as good business to borrow money for a public enterprise? Why are bond issues unpopular and why do some of our best men oppose them? Out people do not vote blindly for or a- jiainst a proposition. Theycount the cost and take into consideration the benefits. They know that in most instances bond issues under our prcisnt plan become permanent debts; that they are never paid and the interest on them is an an^ ending load for them and their descend ants to carry. When they borrow money for a private enterprise, they provide for its payment, and then the interest stops. When bonds are voted for and sold, they know that in certainly a great majority of cases no method of repayment which can be effectually carried out is provided for, and the interest does not stop, and therefore, they vote against the bonds. If some means can be devised whereby money may be had at a reasonable rate of interest and with a fixed period of payment, and the people can be made to know that at the end of that period the debt will be cancelled, they will vote for bonds and good roads will be built. The plan which I shall here outline to meet this condition is based upon the fact that in this State the bonds issued by the State are exempt from all taxation, whereas county, district or municipal bonds are subject to taxation. There is. therefore, a difference in the value of these bands, which is shown in the rates at which they may be sold. The State can and does sell its non-taxable bonds readily at 4 per cent., while county, dis trict and municipal bonds range from 5 to 7-per cent, with a prevailing difference of certainly as much as I per cent. It is to take advantage of this difference and at the same time to preparer a plan by which a sinking fund can be created and invested! under State supervision, to care for the county bonds at maturity, that tee plan is proposecTas a substitute for our present ineffective and unpopular method of road bond issues. This idea was drafted into a bill which was presented at the last session of the General Assembly, where it passed the Iiouse bp a practically unanimous vote, but was defeated in the Senate by a small majority. The plan may be sum marized as follows: 1. On January first of a given year the State Treasurer shall be authorized to is sue and sell State 4 per eent. bonds, in terest to be paid semi-annually, to an amount not to exceed $200,000, the exact figure to be determined by the applica tions received by him before such issu ance. 2. The bonds are to run for a period of 41 years, since it takes that time to mature a sufficient sinking fund to retire them. 3. The steps preliminary to such' ap plication for road funds, including the method of voting in the county are - set out in the bill, and must be regular in every way, and be approved by the At torney General. 4. Taking for granted that enough counties have applied te take the whole issue of §200,000 for use on roads in the following six months, the Trcasurerissues State bonds to that amount and the pro ceeds arising from their sale are loaned to the counties. These counties must furnish proper proof of having voted “For Good Roads,” and must execute and de liver to said treasurer a bond to pay him 5 per cent, per annum on the amount loaned, to be paid semi-annually at least one month before the interest is due on the outstanding state bonds. A penalty I for faiiure to pay within the specified ( (.imejs. provided which would aniply re imburse the State for any advance pay ment it might have to make on its out standing bonds. 5. Both interest and penalty are made a State tax and the Treasurer is given every faculty for its collection that he has for the collection of any other State tax. 6. Thecounty bondis not one that can be stolen and at maturity presented for payment, but it is an undertaking on the part of the county to pay to the State Treasurer annually- in two payments,. 4 per cent, to ba applied towards ihe pay ment of the interest On its outstanding bonds, ond an additional I per cent to be invested by the State in a sinking fund to retire its bonds at maturity. Attheendofthefirst six months the counties pay to the State Treasurer two and one-half per cent, on their respective loans—being a semi-annual payment of S per cent, interest. On $200,000 this a- mounts to $5,000. Of this amount Ihe Slate Treasurer takes $4,000 and pays the interest on the outstanding State bondsj and has a surplus of $1,008. Then to get his $200,000 to be loaned to the - same or other counties upon the same terms as at first prescribed, the Treasurer puts this $1,000 into the road fund and issues$199- DOa in bonds and' sells them, and the proceeds arising tberefrom are added to the $1,900 sinking fund and the whole amount is loaned in the same wav as at first indicated. - At the end of the first year the State collects 5 percent, on the$400,000,where as it pays out interest on only $399,900. This process is continued semi-annually for 21 years, and at the end of each : six months the State's bond issue is reduced by the amount of the surplus, so that the two shall aggregate $200,000. Acarefulcomputatioawill show that there is a sufficient income from the coun ty loans to pay the interest on the out standing State bonds and still leave a sufficient amount to pay off the first is sue of $200,000 in state bonds. And by further srudy it will be seen that each succeeding issue always decreasing iii a- mount, will be retired in the same man ner. Thecounties borrowingthe money will have p^id but 5 per cent, per annum, yet their debt will liave been discharged, and the State as,such will have paid noth ing except for the sale of the bonds and for the bookkeeping. It will have loaned its credit only, and in return will have reaped an abundant harvest by way of additional taxes from increased property values. The counties are enabled to get money at a. greatly reduced rate of interest and their sinking fund is handled and invest ed under StatO supervision, so that they are not required to perform the iiyposs ible task of collecting, handling an'd in vesting it so that it will mature their ob ligations, and a county bond is«ue is changed from a permanet debt, to be handed down from generation to genera tion, into a fixed yearly payment for a definite number of years, long enough to keep the load from resting too heavily at any time, and as short as accumulative compound interest can liquidate the loan. Hie Watauga Railroad. Work is now to be pressed for- waid more vigorously on the Wa tauga railway, there having just been sent to Wilkes county tnirty- oue COQViets for work on that rail road. Three of these convicts vrerc sent from the state s prison and twenty-eight from work on the Aberdeen and Sock Fish bail road in Cumberland county, where 89 convicts have been at work. Work on the Aberdeen and Kockfish is expected to be completed early in January and the Watauga railroad people hope to get sixty-one more convicts now working with- it. The state’s prison has been paid $1.50 a day in cash for each con vict, this from contractors who tised<them on the Aberdeen and Eockfish. From the Watauga rail way there comes $I .50 a day for each convict in stock of the rail road, this having • been provided by .act of the legislature, which Stipulated that there should be not less than lilty or more than 150 convicts assigned to that road, ,.C--IA1— •- -■------------------------------“ ~ "ITndersomecireiimstances it is better to leave than to be leit.

The town needs more mills and fac tories, a building and loan associa tion, a power plant and better side walks. We have too many knock ers and not enough boosters. .

The Lenoir News says, “we note1 from a press dispatch that the State Senate assembled at noon and after laborous work took a recess at 12:30. They seem to have been in session all of thirty minutes.

The pastor of the flock is going to preach yon a little sermon on liE a ts/’ from the following text: “There was a certain grave roll her who went Hortli to rob the graves of dead women. Aud it came io jwsa that he pulled th hair out by the roots from their decaying scalps and sold it to the living: women for rata.” And that, beloved, is where tSie false liiiir comes from. Did that thought ever r^ost on the door siep of your imagination, or climb in at the buck window of roar memory? But the girls and women of Itbis fast age—!be beautiful painted but terflies of frivolous Fiisiuou—must have rats for their hair. Fashion says stack it tip high and spread it out wide, and stuli it and pnfF ii to beat the band, And when her own natural hair isn’t enough to build a monument to Fasfeion on top of a girl’s head, then v-h it must the poor rbing dut Go to the hair-dealer ami buy it by the wag on-load. Maui it Louie io a shank frame and stack it ou your bald spot. Fosteu it on with tbe gar den rake and cap it with a roos ter’s wing. But don’t ask the dealer where the hair eotucs from.

Maybe you get stwne of yoiu1 i-ats from oiber sour ce?, but the bulk of tbe human hair of commerce comes from the helpless bends of those who have laid life’s burdens down. My y o! But the thought is cruel and creepy *o me! How wr uld you feel to go tip toeing down the j ash of life with tour pounds of a cold, clammy corpse’s curls grafted to yonr sky-piece? I don’t know iiow it fits the feelings of other folks, but if I should wake up some morn iug and Qud myself in that fcx, would at once put on the market h blood curdling yell that would wake the dead owner of that hair. — Fool Killer.

VOLUMN XIV.-M0CKSV1LLE. NORTH CAROLINA. WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 29. 1913.NUMBEB.30. Stanly County’s Farmer. Another seven days has rolled around and I shall have to get busy with my corn estimation, which are made for the government or anybody else. Even if yon do not raise corn on the ground, you m ight have a few on your feet that w ill hold your at tention for a tim e or two bo listen . To begin with I will say that the corn crop last year was an eye openor for those who have taken the time and painB to figure it out. I Bhall deal with the grain first. All those who have taken the time to connt these grains will tell yon that I’m a liar in tho first place for no one has ever counted them, Eut that part of it dosent make a bit of difference to you so long as you can’t prove it by actual connt then what is the use of raising a’ fuss over it? Let me tell you a lit tle about these corn grains that will make you lorget other useless things. Youmay not believe it ia a fact that if you were to put on your overcoat and overalls and order Uncle Sam to divide the grains of his entire crop among the farmers of Stanly County he would refuse the job. A big man like uncle sam would be afarid to talk it, what then? Why we won- ldentonly have corned beef in Stanly County but corned hu manity. We would be at the bottom of an open air corn crib kicking our last farewell. But here the point. If it were possible to get one hog that could eat the whole crop all at one meal how big would the animal be? That’s easy: the hog would not only be big enough to wear long pants', but he could do somthing else. He could stand on his hind feet planting one in Texas and the other in Greenland and root the facd off the moon with his nose, bore a sixty mile tunnel through the sky with his tail fan the fiames off the sun with his ears and kick half dozen stars with his pig’s feet. If we had a hog this size and wanted to kill him we would have to get a bucher knife eighty miles long to cut his ; throat and if we wanted to saw his bones for hash or sauage we would have to go to Mars and borrow three of her biggest ooeams to hold it all. The man that made the Bauage would have to have such big band South America by the handle and swing it over the moon with one motion. When completed the sauBage would go eight times a round the earth and the ends hang ing down would still be long enough to bump against the sun every 24 honrs and knock off the sun spots. To raise enough people to eat all this sausage at one meal Teddy Roosevelt would have to de liver two million lectures and by that time 99 per cent would com mitted sausage or died of old age. The lard that could be rendered out of this hog would be sufficient to keep the earth axels oiled 98 years. Now that is enough about the hog. Now if we had a horse big enough to eat all of this corn at one meal he would be just as big as the hog and could gallop around the globe in two minutes six and a half second. It would take a man three days to get' on the horse’s back in a balloon and if the ahiinal threw the poor fellow he would: go. through the air so - fast "that the friction would make his noBe red and cause astronomers to publish the arrival of another comet. His landing place wonld be doubtful ahd he might also stub a toe in - 60 doing. 5 If all this corn were mode into corn cakes and all of the corn cakes were crowded in.a match box four, inches square the box would be so terribly Btrained that it wonld ieave the earth : in about half a second and arrive at the minutes, and wave goodby to the sun in one half minute later. The cakes would expand so rapidly that the air would be crowded off the earth and people would have to breath the corn cakes. This wonld neces sitate a corn pipe instead of a wind pipe and I don’t think many peo ple would be in favor of these al terations. It would also work .a hardship foj; airships to travel through corn cakes and all around calamity wonld result. It is better to maks these est imales in imagi nation only. Watch me next time. —Albemarle Chronicle. The Suffragette. The women are going to be al lowed to vote in this country if they desire that privilege; there is no doubt in Ihe world, about that. A considerable number of the States have already conferred the privilege of the suffrage on their female citizens, and it is folly to rail and rave against a hard and stubborn fact like that. The wom en of North Carolina can obtain tiheir “rights” whenever they de mand them; and we betide the man who will say them nay. But we pray to be delivered from the suf fragette. We hope no such spec:, bade will ever be seen in North Carolina as that in New York when the women besieged the Governor with their clamorous demands. So tar the English type of the suffra gette has not developed in Ameri ca. We are obliged to believe that this rabid type cannot be devdlop- ed here, for we believe onr Amerit- can women have more taste' and more sense than their English si,s- ters; but the tendency toward the btazen and the immodest is; grow ing every day, and we rnay prepare ourselves, for strange sights .and sounds in our own beloved land. We do not like suffragette for sev eral reasons. One of them is she is crazy. This is what makes her a typical suffragette. Her reason is dethroned, and she throws her maidenly modesty to the winds and learns to swear like a sailor and fight like a tiger. She also becomes a skeptic. The Bible appears to her a book for men. She finds that women are commended to the life of the home and that makes her mad. W ehaveyet to find the strong minded sister, who feels that she is oppressed by the govern meat, who has the IeaBt respect'for the,Apostle Paul. She Rays Paul was a sour old bachelor who let Ifis prejudice color his writings;, &he knows no reverence, she brushes aside the most sacred things;:: with a wave of her impious handj add bids defiance to anything or.- any body that stands between her and her wild desires. Understaud lus now. We-are not writing ; about women in general: but only- about the suffragette.. There are only a few of them. The millions of mo dest, noble women are not saying one word. They do not assail=with bitterness the oppression and cruel ty:.of m«n; they know, that-what ever they want they can have, and if that happens to be the privilege of the ballot box it is theirs for fhe asking. But may the Lord deliver North Carolina from the short skirted wild-eyed blatant and bra zen suffragette!—Charity & Chil-: dren, dies for general business depression and knockingont by law the dan gerous fallacy that wealth can be doubled by cutting dollars into halves. This duty was promptly and effectively performed, along with other :: important things too numerous to be summarized here. All the Bepubtican Presidents of the sixteen golden years were elect ed by clear majorities in the total vote. They had the popular in dorsement as well as the electoral credentials. Thepeoplereallydid Uotwantachange-Adivided Re publican party placed the Demo crats in power. It was a mistake and a misfortune. Let us hope that President Wilson and his Con gress will give the country contin ued peace, plenty and prosperity. —Ex. TheGreat Sixteen Years. On MaVch 4 next ends a period that, will always be memorable, in the history of the country for sound progress and high prosperity. -Be tween 1897 and 1913 Republicans held the Presidency, and both branches-of Congress nearly all the time. But full control of national executive and legislative control will-pass to another party in March and the country will have an- op portunity to study the results-of 5a desire for a change on the ground of Vague “ unrest.” Sixteen years ago the Republican party "assumed the responsibility of finding reme The Revisionists are Here. Whocares for high priced living? The revisionists are here; they’ll fill the skies and oceans with an overflow of cheer. They’ll do things in their movements that wifi make the man alive worth more real joy and comfort that a dead man, four to five. They will do away with debtors; they’ll revise away our - debts. They’ll revise our household taxes till we need not pay a cent. Then they’ll pounce upon our landlords and revise away our rent-. They’ve ,revised away the devil and the lorrid thought of hell. Then they sent the scheme of dying Sailinginadiving bell. Next the story of creation they revised until we know that we never bad begin ning, but, like Topsy, “we just grow.” They revised, once more and Jonah was a vegeterian sleek who had never been much nearer to the ocean -than a creek.- Now they’ve voted out don Adam, and his consort, damely Eve, and the story of the Garden we muBt never more believe. And to make it all the better, thej’ve revised the ten commands, until a sinner really doesn’t know just where he stands Congress will revise Our tariff, we are positive of that, and'down will go the prices on our spouse’s win ter hat.

He works hard all day, not stopping a minute to play. The farmer is a tiller of the soil. He knows all about labor and toil. He is the master of all products. His wealth goes accord ing to his Tucks. As I have said, the farmer does ;he best he can. He is-working all the time for the rith man. The rish man walks around, wearing his fine clothes, not thinking from whence the fiber domes nor whither it goes. Then he happens to think about them and they are the farm ers’ own make. And then he feels like turning around, and giving the farmers’ hand a shake. The farmer is not generally a beat. So' he is not the one to de fraud and tyeheat, He starts to work in the spring, listening hap pily to the Mocking birds sing. He works hard all the summer, and always knows his task. He knows he has it all to do and has none to ask.' When be gets done laying by, he throws aside his tools and says to his farm ,'‘Goodbye,” till he sues to gathering in the iall. He knows he has it all to do, whether his task be great or small.'' He works aqd sweats and works and sweats, trying the haadest to pay his debts. He sells his products at the highest price. Then a little money does look to him so nice. Thenhe sits down for a little rest. And to have a talk with 6is wife and children, the-ones he loves the best. So we should always bless the man who works for his living .and does the best he can. The farmer is an -humble man, and is always ready to lend a help-, ing hand. Thefarmer is always working.in a rage, trying to lay up money for his old age, so when he gets old and in bad health, then he can find a place to put his wealth. — P a u l St e g a l l, in Marshville Herald.

Washington, January 9,—Con gressman Hardwick of Georgia yes terday received the following from F. P. Deason, one of his constituents at Irwinton: ‘I seat myself with pen in hand to write you a few lines to let you know that you have played the devil with me. I am the mail carrier from Mc Intyre to Irwinton, and I took the contract to carry the mail three times a day, a distance of three and one-half miles, for $319 a, year. At that time the express company was doing a pretty good business, and I got 10 cents for each express pack age and 10 cents and a drink for every jug. ’You fixed the law so. I couldn’t carry the jug. and now you have fixed up a thing called the ’possum post, and the express company doesn’t handle any more small pack ages, nor do I handle any more dimes. When I made this contract I could carry mail in a road cart and a Tex as pony and haul the express on the side; now the express has shrunk and this post business has swelled so I have to get a mule and wagon. “Now, when I made this trade to carry the mail I don’t know anything about the darn foolishness of send ing live stock and farming imple ments through the mail. I thought that this was just campaign talk, and had no idea that Congresswould be fool enough to pass any such law I ain’t a man to quit his job, and I never get by bondsmen in trouble, but I tell you this tning is getting serious and I want some help. “You have just about ruined the express company, and you have worse than ruined me.

" This is the reason why women have ‘ ‘ nerves.’ ’ When thoughts begin to grow cloudy and uncertain, impulses lag and the warnings of pain and distress are sent like flying messages throughout limbs and frame, straightway, nine times in ten, a woman will lay the cause of the trouble to some defect at the .point wherb she first felt it. Is it a headache, a backache, a sensation of irritability or-twitching and uncontrollable nervousness, something must be wrong with the head or back, a woman naturally says, but all the time the real trouble very often centers in the womanly organs. In nine cases out of ten the seat of the difficulty is here, and a woman should take rational treatment for its cure. . The local disorder and inflam mation of the delicate- special organs of the sex should be treated steadily and systematically. Dr. Pierce, during a long period of practice, found that a prescription made from medicinal extracts of native roots,without the use of alcohol, relieved over 90 per cent, of such cases. After using this remedy for many years' in bis private prac tice he put-it up in form of* Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription, that would make iC easily procurable, and it can be had at any store where medicines ora handled. Mbs. Lila B. H awkins,, of Zeus, Va., writes: “ Fhad been fAUing In health for . two years—most of the time was not able to attend to my household, duties. Female weakness was my trouble and I was getting very bad but, thanks to Ddctor Pierce’s medicines, I am well and strong again.
