Two Snake Stories. Clate5Ville Landmark. " d I/,ike, three miles east of ,Statesville, oilers good sport to Io ’ I iisiieime.il and hunters. In the summertime they have ' fine fun C1Ilehiug perch and other-fish there. In Iim winter the hunters go there Io shoot duck. LaurelLake com JlIisvs a good many acres of still viitcr nod is thickly grown up in j|;i.rs. Yhe sportsmen wear rubber I,outs .Did wade out into the lake. Jt is Iiome to George Dulin, a col- oied tislierman, and bread and meal. loo. This is preliminary to telling wind happened to Mr. Jay Foster while be and others were out there Iisliing Saturday afternoon. Mr, l'lislcr had waded a considerable distance out to try and get a shot, at a carp with a rifle. He was at traded by a considerable commo­ tion over behind a log and pro needed to investigate further. Ly jou clo e to a tree he saw a snake in his coil. It was the cotton- muutk or upland moccasin, the most deadly poisonous of any suake. In his coil the bulk look­ ed like an automobile tire and about the size of a nail keg. Any­ how, Mr. Foster blazed into the. suake with bis rifle. No sooner done than Mr. Snake bounded af­ ter him, and Mr. Foster proceeded to let out room to him as fast as he could. Gecrge Dulin, moving near by, ousted a big black snake, which was about to run over Mr. Foster whether or not when Mr. Foster killed him. The first tall slump Mr. Foster came to he crawled upon it and there he stay­ ed to recover his nerve and take account ot himself. There is where he was when the other fisherman found him. This is a reminder of an exper­ ience that Mr. R. S. Sherrill had some time ago. He and his little boy went out to look at the fish basket aud it contained a good catch. Mr. Sherrill could hear them fluttering and splashing a round in the basket. He took out a half dozen or more cats and through the crack he thought he saw au eel. “Son,” he called out, “there’s an eel in here as big as you, boy.” It would not do to take any chauces on eel getting away, Mr. Sherrill thought, aud he carried the basket out to a sand bar, where he could get sand a pleuty in his hands to freeze onto the eel. He rubbed his hands good with sand and piled a little more in his hand to make sure. IIe jiist could force his hand down through the funnel of the basket, but he did, caught hold of his eel, tar back, aud began to work up aud his eel began to work back. Finnliy the eel’s head got back to his hand aud Mr. Sherrill gripped down on him. Then he forced his haud out of the funnel with the loss of only a small part o f. skin. When his eel came in view he saw it was one of those deadly mocca sins and Mr. Sherrill threw him just as far as he could and yelled shout as loud as he could. Eels do not interest Mr. Sherrill any more. Good Roads vs. Bad Roads The value of good roads is again brought to mind by a treasurer of the Itowan Mutual Insurance Co.; an organization comprised of slight­ ly more than 1,500 farmers. In receiving payment for dues the treasurer states he receives checks irom all parts of the county and •hat there are more checks on banks tn China Grove, Granite Quarry, Mooresville, Statesvillle, Cleveland and other places than are drawn oh ftH the Salisbury banks put .'to- Kothcr.. He advance the argument that this is due to goods roads Iead- •ng .to other towns. This draws trade to the other towns. It would 9eem that Salisbury and' Spencer should build good roads in self defense if for -no other reason,- bpeucer Crescent.- Torren’s Land Title. Progressive Farmer. Aud now, perhaps, we had bet­ ter explain once again just what is meant by the Torrens system of registered land titles. We have, done so before, but the subject is’ so hew to many readers that we must follow the policy of “line up­ on line and precept upon precept.” Let us repeat what we have said before. Without the Torrens system, every time a piece of real estate is sold or offered as security for a loan, some lawyer must examine in to the legality of the title. Old records running baek sometimes for hundreds of years—must be searched at great labor and ex- pense; and the next, time the pro­ perty is sold or offered as collateral, aud the next, and the next, the same work must be done over a- gain, at the same expense as be fore. __ Now, the Torrens system pro­ poses that instead of this everlast­ ing investigation ot the same thing, this perpetual marching backward and forward over the some ground with no purpose save that of sup­ porting lawers who might better serve their fellows in some other way instead of all this, we say, the Torrens system proposes that the State shall examine the title once for all. guarantee it, and re­ gister it—and henceforward it may be transferred about as easily as a share of stock in a corporation, or a bond issued by State or munici­ pality. Theoriginaleostofgetting a Torrens deed will be little more than the present cost of once in- vestigating the title and with » Torrens deed once secured, land titles may be transferred at from one-fourth to one-tenth the present expense and- with immeasurably less worry and uncertainly. At present, moreover, a deed is only the registered certificate of a claim; the State does not guarantee your right to the land described, and even after the lawers have pronounced the title sound, you cannot be absolutely sure. A deed under the’Torrens system, on the otnSr hand, is an absolute guaran­ tee from the State of your right to the property mentioned against all comers until judgment day. So a Torrens deed, unlike a regular deed, is easily negotiable —and right here we come upon the one supreme advantage of the Tor reDS system that ought to insure its adoption everywhere, even if it had no other attractions. As things are now, (which should be the finest of all securities) by rea­ son of the uncertainty of titles and the cost of investigations, is one of the most troublesome, expensive, and unprofitable of - all forms of collateral for borrowing money—a fact which largely accounts for the present Nation-wide agitation fora better'system ot “rural credits.” The farmer, in other, words, al­ though he has the better security of the two, is at a greatdisad vant age in borrowing money as com­ pared with the city business man. Andbecause h eisa t this disad vantage in borrowing, the farmer from time immemorial has been a prey to “time merchants” and Shy- lock ihoneyleanders, bloodsuckers of agricultural prosperity. But with a Torrens system title, not even a registered Government bond would be as attractive to the banks as land would be—because the Tor rens deed would be as much guar­ anteed by the Government as the bond itself, while Nature, having made land far more indestructible than governments, would ’better guarantee the safely of tne deed— and the farmer could, therefore, borrow easily and cheaply. “Get a general adoption of the Torrens system of registering land titles”’ Dr. JohnDee Coulter; of Washington, D.' C;, remarked to the writer a few weeks ago, “and your Southern farmers can borrow money at 5 per cent.” And while the first cost of getting a Torrens title may seem a little large to some farmers^ remember that as a rule, it costs no more to get a Torrens title, good for -a thousand years, than it will cost to have your title examined two or three times under the common system, Mr. Farmer, get a Torrens title Ior your land. It is the first and surest step toward getting free from the credit system, getting cheaper money, and to vards estab Iishingabettersystem of “rural credits.” Proposed New Routes for the Cen­ tral and National Highways. The Success of tbt good road bond election in Davfe probably means that not only the State Cen­ tral Highway may be diverted from Greensboro via Winston and through Davie and Iredell to Statesville,-but that the National Highway may be diverted from Winston across Davie and via Statesville. The route of the Central highway would be more direct from Greens­ boro via Winston and through Davie to Sfatesville than from Greensboro via Salisbury, The National Highway, which now runs from Washington via Boanobe, Va., to Winston-Salem and on south via Greensboro, Salisbury. Concord and Charlotte, would also have a more direct route to come from Winston through Davie to Statesville and go from here direct to Charlotte. In both cases ^ the traveler would miss the mnd of the bad. roads across Davidson county, tbstt county having refused to im­ prove its roads. There is now a good road from Greensboro to Winston, a steel bridge will be built across the river eonnecting Davie and Forsyth and with a good road across Davie— how assured by the bond issue—to connect with the Iredellgood roads, travelers can come through . to Statesville and go west over the Central highway or south to Char­ lotte.—Statesville Landmark. - Two Pointers. In the municipal election in Con­ cord the other day the citizens ticket defeated the Democrats can­ didate for Mayor, and three Alder­ men. Muchcommentwascreated by the voting dT40 negroes in one ward, but every one of them ex­ cept one voted the Democratic ticket. That remindsns of when the negro used to vote in Sampson. -They voted the “Democrat” ticket. The Educator is fighting in the interest of the farmers first because all other business is dependant up­ on them and if the farmers can get good prices for their farm products the merchants the bankers and in fact all other business will be pros­ perous, but if the farmers are forced to sell their products at low prices the whole country will dry up, yet the Wilson Underwood tariff bill is driving the dagger right into the very heart of the larm interest. When tha farmers are again reduced to poverty, other business interest is bound to suffer. You may call it a panie, hard times or what yon please.—Clinton News Dispatch. Rid Yoar GIiildren of Worms. You can change fretful, ill-tempered children into healthy, happy youngsters, by ridding them of worms. Tossing, roll­ ing, grinding of teeth, crying out while asleep, accompanied with intense thirst, pains in the stomach and bowels, fever- uhness and bad breath, 'are symptoms that indicate worms. Elckapoo Worm Killer, a pleasant candy lozenge expels the worms, regulates; the bowels, restores your children to health and happiness. Mrs-, J. A.

In the old days it was an axiom in the west ,that the only good Indian was a dead one, so it might be thought that of the race is now good, being mostly “non est.” Unfortun­ ately for hhis hypothesis, however, statistics show .that between 1900 and 1910 the Indian population in­ creased from 237,196. to 265,683. In addition, many of the red-skins have more wampum than their white neighbors. This being as it may. the Glacier Park Reservation boasts an Indian who is not only good' but rich. Whether he’s good because he’s rich or rich because he’s good, history recordest not, .but at any rate, Long Time Sleep, for such is our hero’s name, has become the only redskinned Indian member of the American Automobile Associa­ tion.. Gurthermore, he is going to enter his car in the National Re liability run, which will start from Minneapolis on July I and endat the eastern gateway to the Glacier Park on Julv 19, the tour covering some l,200miles, LongvTime Sleep is said to be quite wide awake, and although he "can’t speakAroericanese he’s an expert -au tciiidfcilist and makes signs which his car readily undersands.

A year ago a farmer named Martin Kohond, living :in Camden County, New Jersey, bought (iOO peach trees at > each’, with which he started an orchard'. One morning last week, he waked to find that durinjf the night sbtne vandal had taken his orchard, row by row and had cut down every single tree, sparing not one. ; It appeared to have been a work inspired by unreasoning mali­ ciousness. This farmeris invited to comp to North Carolina, where the soil and the climate and the people are better than they are in New Jersey—better than' auy where else in the Nation.

Porthe past six years we have worked both early and late for the upbuilding of the town and county, and have seen many improvements. We shall con tinue to boost our town, our county and our State. The Record appre­ ciates the many kindnesses shown it by the people' throughout the coun­ try, and our aim in the future will be to give our readers a better pa­ per than we have in the past. We would appreciate the patronage of evary merchant, farmer, mechanic and professional man in the county. Give us your printing, your adver­ tising and your subscription. The Record is helping you, and you can help The Record. Let’s pull togeth­ er for the upbuilding of Davie, the best county in North Carolina. The people of Davie would like to * know who paid for the recent sur vey of the Yadkin river just below the railroad bridge. A survey has been made for the purpose of plac­ ing the steel bridge which is to con­ nect Forsyth and Davie, at this point, so we are informed. Toput the bridge at this point would be doing Farmington township an in­ justice. Duringthe campaign last faH, the Republican speakers prom­ ised that the bridge wonld be loca­ ted at or near Hall’s Ferry. We are now informed that one of these same speakers had the recent survey made just below the railroad bridge. The people of Farmington are very anx­ ious to know if the County Commis­ sioners are going to give them a fair deal. The bridge was promised them last fall, and if the promise is to be kept, why waste money in having surveys made in Shady Grove township?

They Watch The First Monday in July. !Progressive Farmer, The first Monday in July will he a fateful day for many a Noi tb Garolina county. On that day, |Mr. Tarheel Farmer, your County SBperintendeot of Health, your !County Superintendent of Schools •anS your district school commit­ teemen are to be rppoiuted. It is unnecessary to remind you that what progress your county will make these next two years will be largely determined by the char-' acter of these appointments. In; each case all political and personal considerations should be barred, and men and women named solely by reason of their efficiency, We say “men and -women” be­ cause, be it remembered, the* new North Carolina law makes it possi­ ble put women on school commit* tees—as is eertainly .fitting when we recall that the schools exist for children, and the mothers are al­ ways the ones most interested in children’s welfare. Pick out the woman in your district who will take most interest and do most good on the committee, and demand her appointment. And be sure to see to it that your county joins the progressive list which employs a county health officer and a county school super­ intendent each for his entire time. A county which employs a sheriff and a clerk of the court for' their full time to look after courts and criminals but is not concerned if the public health and public edu cation-are only an afterthought, with two poorly equipped,. worn out, or incompetent men—such a county surely belongs in the back ward or dead and-dying class.

FOR KNOXVILLE National Conservation Expo­ sition To Be Big Event of the Year SOUTH’S GLORY ON DISPLAY Exposition Will Be One of the “Differ­ ent” Kind and Will Be Greater In AU Ways Than Anything Ever Seen In This Section of United States Before. The National Conservation. Exposi­ tion that will fie held in the pictur­ esque city of Knoxville Irom Septem­ ber I to November I, of the present year, will be the one big event' of the year In the South. No meeting, no gathering, no con­ ference, no exhibition of any kind will overshadow in importance the Nation­ al Conservation Exposition. It will be national in scope, national In charac­ ter. The National Conservation Exposi­ tion has been planned- along broad lines and is designed to teach the great lesson of the necessity of con­ serving the resources that nature has so bountifully bestowed on the coun­ try. More especially will the necessity of conserving the immense resources of the South be brought out and em­ phasized at the Exposition. Following are a few facts that give some idea of the magnitude and the aims of the National Conservation Ex­ position: The exposition plant represents an outlay of over $2 ,000,000. The site of the exposition is in the most beautiful park in the South—a park that nestles In the foothills of the great Smoky mountains, picturesque, rolling; green, highly improved. Eleven Big -Buildings. The exposition grounds ‘embrace with lakes and drives over one hun­ dred acres. Never was a site for an exposition with more natural advantages chosen,- never one better adapted to exposition purposes. Eleven large exposition buildings, modern, stately, snowy white, as well as a number of smaller buildings, will house this exposition. Railroads realize the importance of the exposition and are co-operating in every way in the enterprise. National leaders of conservation with Gifford Pinchot as chairman are directing the exposition. Sixteen Southern states have formed boards for exposition work and these boards are actively engaged in the col­ lection of comprehensive exhibits and in arranging state days for the expo­ sition. South a Treasure House. The National Conservation Exposi­ tion at Knoxville during September and October will be “different.” The displays in various lines will be the largest, the most' diversified^ the most interesting ever seen in any exposition in the South; they will compare favor­ ably with any exposition ever held in the United States and -they will all teach graphically, eloquently and point­ edly the lesson of conservation, ad­ mittedly one of the greatest questions before the American people to-day. And about all the South—the great South, the South that is a treasure house of the nation, the South busy with the hum and the whirr of count­ less manufacturing industries—will be •on display in Knoxville during the ex­ position. The South with its tremend­ ous resources and great industrial pro­ gress will be strikingly typified. There will be much for every citizen of the country to see in Knoxville dur­ ing the exposition months, there will be much for every' one to learn. The Dead Man is Still Unidentified.

Lust week The Seutinel had an article referring to that ‘‘cold suro- )UCT” which waa tradition in this section for a long time. The date was iiot at band. Here is an article, taken from the Danbury (Conn.) Xevvs, which, no doubt fixes the date. Bead about frost and snow all summer and ruined crops: “The year 1816 was known tliiongli-out the United states <tnd Kiiiope as the coldest ever experi enocil by any persons in Northern New York who have been in the habit of keeping diares for years, ami it is from the pages of an old diary begun in 1810 aud kept un­ broken until 1840 that the follow­ ing information regarding this year Tritbont a summer has been taken: llJanuaiy was so mild that most persons allowed their fires to go out and iliii uot burn wood except for cooking. Therewerea few fold days, but they were very few. Most of the time < lie air was warm and springlike. February was- not colil. Some days were colder tliau any in Junuary, but the weather was about th e same. March, from the first to the 6th, was i uuliued to be windy. Itcame in like a small lion and went out like a very innocent shyep. “April came in warm, but as the days grew longer the air be eauie colder, and by the 1st of May there was a temperature like , (hat of winter, with plenty of snow and ice. In May the young buds were frozen dead, ice foimed half an inch thick on ponds and rivers, com was killed, and the cornfields were plautcd again and -again, ub til it became too late to raise a crop. By the last of May in this climate the trees are usually in Iaaf and birds and flowers are plentiful. When the last of May arrived in IDlG everything had been killed by the cold. “.June waa the coldest month roses ever experienced in this lati­ tude, Frost and ice were as com- men as buttercups usually are. Al­ most every green thing was killed; all fruit was destroyed. Snow fell 10 inches deep in Vermont, There was a seven inch fall in the interior of Newr York State, and the. same iu Massachusetts. There were only a few moderately warm days. Everybody looked, longed and waited for warm weather, but warm weather did not come. “It was also dry; very little rain fell. AU summer long the, wind blem steadily from the north in blasts, laden with snow and ice. Mothers knit soeks of double thick­ ness lor their children, and made thick mittens. Planting and shiv­ ering were done together, and the farmers who worked out their taxes on the country roads were over­ eats and mittens. “On June 17th, there was a heavy fall of Bnow. A Vermont farmer sent a fiock of sheep to pasture on J une 16th. The morning °f the 17th dawned with the fchei- Wometer below the freezing point. About i) o’clock iu the morning the iug the owner of the eheep started ^o look for his flock. Before leaviug IiUMe he turned to his wife -and said, jokingiy; “Better sfart the neighbors soon; It s the middle of June and I may Set lost in the snow. “Au hour after he had left home 8 terrible snowstorm came np. The 8Uow feu thick aud fast, and as there was so much wind, the fleecy lllHsses piled in great drifts along the wiudward side of the fences au<l out buildings.-. Night came aId the farmer had not been heardof. ‘His wife became frightened and farmed the neighborhood. Al! * 6 "e>ghbors joined the searching l'nty. On the third day they oand him. He was lying in a hollow OD the side of a hill with both feet frozen, but alive. Most of the sheep were lost, “ A farmer near Twksbnry, Vt., owned a large field of corn. He built fires. Nearly ev*»ry night he he and his men took turns in keep­ ing up the fire and watching that the corn did not freeze. The farmer was rewarded for his tireless labors by hrving the only crop of corn in the region. “July came in with snow and- ice. On the Fourth of July ice as thick as window glass formed throughout New England, New York ai d in some parts of the State of Pennsylvania. Indina c o rn , which in some parts of the East had struggled through May and June, gave up, froze and died. “To the surprise of everybody August proved the worst month of all. Almost every green thing in t bis country and Europe was blasted with frost. Snow fell at Barnet, 30 miles from London, England, on Auguat 30th. Newspapers received from England stated that 1816 would be remembered by the ex­ isting generation as the year in which there was no summer. Very little com ripened in New Eog laud.

As Winston-Salem Sees It. The following editorial from the Winston Journal of Sunday should receive the thoughtful considera­ tion of every citizen of Davidson county: The more we consider it, the more firmly are we convinced that the.culmination ot the good roadjt movement in Davie county will mean more to Winston Safem than we now dream. We fail to:; 6ee how it can mean anything less than bringing the central - highway of North Carolina, from the moun­ tains to the sea, directly through Forsyth county and Winston-Sa lem. This highway will in time to cwme be an important link in the ocean-to ocean highway. And in this day of automobiles such ' a highway will mean almost as much to the Twin City as a new trunk line railway. A G>nsistant Liar. “I U3ed to know a. feller wno wuz the most constant and consist­ ent liar I ever saw,’’ observed Un­ cle Hy1 “but there wuz this to say fur him, he always lied with the idea of pleasin’ the feller he wuz talkin' to or the woman he wuz convarsin’ with. Helnevertalked with a - homely woman without givin’ her to understand that he considered her one of the hand- someet females he had ever • been acquainted with, and he seemed to be so much in earnest that he really made the woman believe be meant it and she wuz pleased, about it, even when her lookin’ glass told her the man wuz a liar. Why, he conld take a rotten orange from the box and make believe it wuz from a select tree in the best part uv, Floridy. “ He never went to hear a preach­ er without takin’ the opportunity after the sermon wuz over to tell the preacher it wuz one. uv the greatest sermons he had ever hearn in his life and that bearin’ it had done him a wdnderful amount uv good. And the preacher, went away , pleased over that lie as much as if it hed been true. No matter how sorry a team a farmer drove thisiiar would manage to make the farmer believe the hosses were crack animals—So it went. “That feller told more lies than you could stack up in a week with a patent stacker, but every lie he told wuz calculated to. make soine man or woman feel good fur the time bfiin.’ Now what I can’t de­ termine in my own mind is this: Did that feller’s lies do any harm or did they do good! Generally speakin’, I hate a liar, but that feller wuz an exception. Every­ body liked Him and listened to his lies with pleasure, even when they knowed that he wuz lyin’ faster than a 2:30 hosB can trot. He would tell you everything so it wud dazzle, . Darn his hide, he wuz sech a Gnishedi liar I like to hear him talk,” DRUGGIST GIVES MONEY BACK Dodson’s Liver ToneGets-a Four Square Guarantee from D. H; Hendrichs & SonDrugStore.

Despite the growing confidence of the public in the stability of the banks, thousands of people in the Iinited States, still incredulons, bury their savings in the ground or; hide them in the ovens of cook stoves for safe keeping, according toi United States Treasurer John BurkerIn an address before the convention of the West Yirginia Bankers’ Association. Every fall, said Mr'. Burke, thd Treasurer^ office receives many fragments of burned paper money, which has been stored in stoves dur­ ing warm weather and the hiding places forgotten until the discovery of the charred bits raked> out after fires, have been built with the ap- pjroach-of frost. About 2,000 such cases are received yearly, coming first from the Northern sections and by degrees from tne warmer zones.

An old citizen of north Iredell, now passed away, was in a company on one oc­ casion and the subject of cold weath­ er at harvest came up. This old man, who was not particular about facts, could always tell a story that surpassed all others and when the other members of the party had finished telling about wearing coats to the harvest field and swinging cradles with their coats on. he said the coldest spell he ever knew at harvest he walked across Big Rocky creek on the ice on his way to the harvest field. The Gharlotte Observer, which told of snow a" foot deep in June and ciaimed there are in existence pic­ tures to prove it, will take notice that there are no pictures to prove this ice story and nobody believes it.

'Gettysburg, Pa., June 30,—In marked contrast to their invasion of Gettpsburg years-ago, when the pride of the nation under General Lee of the South and Gen­ eral Meade of the northern army met in deadly conflict around Culp's Hill, Devil’s Den and Little Sound Top, the Blue and the' Gray, the last vanguard of two of the greatest armies that ever met on the field of-bdttle are again camping on the same grffund where they did a half century age, bui:today’s meeting is not as a hostile edemy, but to celebrate what will be known in history as one of the gieatest events of the world. Some of the same men who fired can­ non at each other in that memorable conflict tonight are the best of friends and ate occupying bunks in the same tents. North Carolina veterans to-the number of 81)0 reached here late this afternoon arid are camped on Seminary Ridge. They were led by General Julian S. Carr and o.hers. There were over 4,830 Tar Heel soldiers who failed to answer the roll call alter the three days' fight around this moun tain town, and the veterans who are here tonight are proclaiming to all comers that the state's troops were “first -at Bethel, furthereet at Gettysburg and Chickamau- ga and last at Appamatox.” “You will find North Carolina foot­ prints all over/ Gettysburg on Seminary Ridge, the heights of Cemetery Hill, Dev­ il’s Den and along both sides of WiiIou- ghby run,” said Colonel Boyden. “No history can ever be written of Gettysburg without giving North Carolina a prominent part for her heroism and ■ bravery and loss of life. "it's a shame upon the state that she has let 5oVears pass and no monument here to mark the great deeds of hir men. l trustthisgreatreunion will bring out the patriotism and that immediately a monument fund will be started to. erect not merely a shaft, but a temple of fan e ‘so that-the great historians may be. able to get their bearings of What North Car­ olina did.” That the.sixth and 57th North Carolina got over the rock wall on Cemetery Hill, captured and spiked the guns was the statement of W. S. Adams of the Sdth New York regiment, who was in charge i f a gun at that point. . Adams declared to North Carolina vet­ erans tonight that had they been prcpeily supported at that time a different story would now be recorded of the famous bittle. ' .Gettysburg, July I—The armies of • the North and South today began the formal -exercises set to mark the semi-centennial of the b eg ttis of Gettysburg. 'Fifteen thousand veterans sat in; the big tent for two hours and shook the camp with cheers when references were made to the re-united nation.' IWhen -Governor Tener finished his speech General Bennett H. Young, Corii- mgnder-in-Chief of the Confederate Vet­ erans, rose and bowed to him. ? - ; “I can give you something no one else can give yon,” he said. “We will now give you the Rebel yell.” : Nine Confederate generals and a thous­ and veterans of the South gave it so loud . that it was heard far back in the camp towards Gettysburg.. - -Geilerai Young was greeted with wild' enthusiasm. The keynote of his speech .. -was that each fought for a principle each believed to be right. I Gettysburg, Pa., July 2 TKe1 tide of Invasion turned back from Gettysburs today. The Blue and Gray armies began melting away under the compelling in­ fluence of a torrid sun and camp 'ife dis­ comforts. -. General Liggett, in command of the camp; said over six thousand veterans have returned home while another thous­ and' will have departed by night. Most of them have looked oyer the battlefield, shaken hands with comrades in other rpgimehts, pnd left for home. ^lTheithoupnds returning home was -not - djSMfiraging to the arihy officers in charge MrW^camp had been crowded beyond tM cd'pacity and! hundreds of tbe old men are being quartered. indents made for circuses arid not for sleeping quarters. S:ores slept on the ground. Gettysburg, Pa., July 2.—A roaring storm today brought relief to thousands: fit veterans of the Blue and Gray at - tbe semi-centennial re-union, . .Veterans lashed down their tents and reports showed that none were injured.Todav was military day at High Tent, but the veterans enjoyed - themselves as they pleased.They cheered the speeches of Sergeant John C. Scarborough, of North Carolina, and Lieutenant-Governor Burchard, of Rhode Island. ' . •. Harry/ Bulkely, of Washington, read Lincoln's Gettysbnrg address.It was reported today that two veter- ons of the Federal and Confederate arm­ ies bought a hatchet and tramped a mile and a half to the battlefield, dug a hole and with: tears and embraces, buried the hatchet. 'Thousands of veterans left the camp today and more will leave tomorrow. Gettysburg, Pa., July 2.—Seven men were stabbed, some very seriously, in the dining-room of a Gettysburg hotel tonight in a fight which started when the Union veterans resented slight remarks about Lincoln. The men who were stab­ bed, according to the authorities, jumped to the defense of the veterans who had HeanLthe two men attack the memory ol the martyred President.Gettysburg, Pa.. July 2,—H. M Fitzger­ ald, member of a New York regiment during the war, came into the North Car­olina camp today and asked J. D. Irving if it was true that Company A’s flag had been captured in the first day’s battle here. It was lost In the morning. In t he afternoon the staff was recaptured with half of the flag clinging to it. That half that is in the posession of the com­pany, has twenty-seven bullet holes in it When Fitzgerald came into the North Carolina camp and said he had the other half of the flag, and would be glad' to re turn it, joy was unrestrained. General Julian S. Carr, of Durham1ColoneI Shakes­ peare Harris. Gen. Wade Hampton's pri­ vates courier, Marse John Henry Currie Captain Houston and Uncle Henry Hob­ son, with his inseparable comrades, J. D Hodges arid J. B Foard, got together un­ der the big oak and began to celebrate the return of the flag.So ioyous were things that the Tai Heel Pine Tree brought from Wilmington was traiinpled down and the Tar Heel en­sign was-'waved until it looked as if it had been through the war. GOOD ROADS. AU our people over this way even those who voted against s bond issue, are now anxious foi the good; work to go on and art now asking when the work will be started, and while they do not ex pent ail tbe roads to be sand clayed they want-to know what will be dene for the roads not said clayed. VYe mast all admit that all ooi roadsneed work, and most of them heed it badly right now, and the people are asking who is to give attention to this matter since tin old system is abolished. I can on Iy tell them that if any of oui roads are ever worked at all, t-hej will be worked :*Jy taxation as understand the,law, and since this is so, iJliink the first thing to be done is toToeate - or relocate the roads, as Many ot them are very crooked and badly located. The people who:pay the taxes will noi be willing to pay for working very crooked roads where they can*"be straightened and thereby shorten cd and located where Much legs work wiil be necessary to keep them up. And I think it would be very unwise to spend money on roads now that will have to be changed, soon to a better location Another consideration, is th a where roads are relocated and put on better ground they will, gener­ ally speaking, need no further work for a while as they may be placed where they - will already have the top soil finish and can be easily and cheaply k“pt up. Now a word about the National an<i State Highways. Ifyou will take the map and diaw a straight iiue from Winstou to Statesville, you will find that it will not miss Mocksville very much, and- frdm MockBville to StateBviIle a direct line passes right by Kappa, in stead of County Line, aud from Kappa to Statesville via Oak For est, in Iredell county where we stnke- the .sand clay road already. bpiR from Statesville. This route from Mocksville via Kappa and Oak Forest to Statesville must be the shortest as it is morer dircct anid will cost less to build, as i* Will-require less grading than- by Cqniity Line. A short piece this way will be across a small corner of Howan county, and-I am told-that Bqwau Will build'that to connect w|th a short piece of road from Oak Forest to the Bowan line, which Iredell has promised to-build. Lettbe good work go on as speedily as possible arid let have all tbe good roads possible for the money, and I think when the good work is completed those who voted against the bonds will be’ ashamed to- own it. Yours for good roads, W. B. K etch IE. Winston District Conference Meet­ ing.

Reid, of the Department of Agri­ culture, will be present and address the people on the subject of stock raising and dairying. Mr. Reid I-as two or more interesting propositions to;make to the farmers of Davie. The first is, ’that he wishes one rural . school in the county to give one day inVeach month for the study of dairying and other kindred subjects. HVor his assistant will be present aiia instruct the children along theie lines, and on these days all the farir.- erswill be invited to attend school and get as much benefit' as poss b e out of it. Mr. Reid also has anoth< r proposition which he wishes to lay before the fanners. It is his pur­ pose to establish a'short three day course of study for farmers some time during the coming winter. This will be held in Mocksville, if enough interest is manifested. Mr. Reid will explain both of these pro­ positions at the Farmers’ Union Picnic, and we wish every farmer in the countv could be present .to hear him. The Record wishes to request three of its farmer friends to bring on? cow to the picnic the 24th._ Qne of the cows should be of the best stock in the county; one should be a medium cow, and the other, should b$ a sorry cow.

This com­ pany has just opened up a brand new 3tock of dry goods and notions, and would be pleased to have the people 6f the county call and examine their big line of goods. Uncle Giles Howard has a small patch of ground in Irish potatoes. He savs that the same ground has been in potatoes for the last forty years, and that the crop this year isr the best he has ever raised, which goes to prove that the old saying that the same crop would not do well on the same ground more than one year, is a big mistake. The Methodist Conference, which convened in this city Wednesday evening of last week, adjourned Sat­ urday evening. The attendance at all the sessions^was good, although many of the delegates could not be here. Dr. Plato Durham, the Presiding Elder of this District, Tlid most of the preaching, and the people were delighted with his sermons. Sorry we could not attend the meetings, and give a fuller report We will try to get a report of the Conference for our next issue. -Mocksville has some of the pret­ tiest girls to be found in the United States, and they are not only pretty, but most of them are mighty good cooks, A few days ago we had the pleasure of devouring about four large slices of cake which was baked by one of our fairest young ladies, and better cake we never ate. It was by accident that we managed to, ,enjoy this treat, but we cannot re­ frain from mentioning the matter, even though the baker find it out. The cake in question was of two va­ rieties, “Silver and Gold,” and “Atigel Food” or "Devil Cake,” we are not sure which, but let the name be what it may, the cake was mighty good, and the only thing wrong a- bout it was that there was not more of .it. Should we be bold enough to mention the fair bakers name, we fear that all the cake lovers in the country would decide to venture out on the ^ea of matrimony, so we re­ frain from doing so, for-we are Iiv- ingin hopes of enjoying another feast of good cake some time in the future. , Road Commissioners Meet.

PRESS, THE PEOPLE’S RIGHTS MAINTAINrUNAWED BY INFLUENCE AND UNBRIBED BY GAIN.” VOLUMN XV. Negroes Should Buy Land in Com- iBunities to Themselves. . Italeigb, N. C., July 23,—Chair man Clarence Poe announces that the Progfam Committee of the Rational Farmers’ Union has ask­ ed Local Unions at their next meetings to discuess the problem of segregating the races in the South’s rural districts as is already the policy in the towns. Itis as­ serted that thousands of white farmers are being driven from their h o m e s by the growing number of „egro farmers around them and the consequent lack of adequate wbite social life. Thehope is to develop a public sentiment which will require negroes to buy land in communities to themselves instead of breaking up white communities by indiscriminately sandwiching white and negro farmers together. In discussing the matter further, Hr. Poe said: ><For the good of bojh races, the negroes should buy land and settle as largely as possible in neighbor­ hoods of their own. For example, filty negro families and fifty white families together in a district can have only half as good schools for either race as they could have if all the hundred families were of one race; aud with regard to churches, libraries, co-operative societies, social meetings, and neariy all other agencies of vital civilization the same thing is true. To have half the community composed of a separate race ents in half all the social power for progress. “The big fact we have to face is that in thousands and thousands of communities in the South, the negro farmers are not only subject­ ing the white farmers to mare. or less disastrous economic competi­ tion by their lower standards of living, but in many sections the growing number of negroes is driv iug the white people to the towns for social reasons. When th e white population in a community becomes too small or too scattered, when the white farmer’s wife and children find more negro neighbors than white neighbors around them, a tremendous motive iB given for moving away—and if the farmer moves some negro will probably bay his land at a sacrifice because other white farmers have the same feeling aad do not care to buy land in a predominantly negro com inanity. ,Such is the negro’s flag rantly unfair advantage foLdriving white people off the farms and taking the rural South for himself. Public sentiment must find us a remedy. MOCKSVILLE. NORTH CAROLINA. WEDNESDAY, JULY 23, 1913. Another Boy Who Has a Mania For Doing Wrong Things. Statesville Landmark. For the past few weeks Mr. Pink Stroud, who lives near the Davie county line in Turnersburg town- 8nlP, had been disturbed by some oue turning his cows out of the Pasture, cutting up his harness, etc. and each time something of the kind would happen his little 11 year-old grandson, Early Franklin, would tell his grandfather that he bud Been a strange negro man a: bout the place. One day last week eputy Sheriff Swisher of Cool pring township was called to in­ stigate the matter and he decided lhat it was trie Franklin boy who Vas making the trouble, but the °y denied his guilt. Sunday heriff Deaton accompanied Mr. wisher to Mr. Stroud’s and the °y confessed to the officers, telling jbem how he slipped a knife from « house to cut the harness, etc. s boy said he had no motive ' ateVer for doing the “ devil 11Jent,” aud the officers are con­ duced that he must be mentally a eCted in a manner somewhat similar to Harvey Murdock, the Pensions For Confederates. Two bills to pension Confederate veterans have been introduced it Congress. Representative Edwards of Georgia introduced a bill grant* ing pensions to Confederate vet erans and their widows at the rate of. $0 a month'. This bill is equal in its provision to thn Sherwood dollar-a-day pension bill which aroused such a storm of protest, but. was finally passed, adding something like $30,000,000 a year to the pension rolls. Representative Hobson of Alaba­ ma has introduced a bill to equalize the pensions of Confederate and Union veterans. His bill would authorize the Secretary of the In­ terior, who has charge of the pen­ sion bereau, to establish and main tain a roll of all Confederate vet erans who are pensioned by the several States, with the amount of their pension, and the amount each veteran would receive were he a veteran of the Union army. He is then directed to pay to each Con­ federate veteran the difference be­ tween the two amounts, provided that, in on case shall the amount paid by the Federal, government exceed the amount paid by the State. This would prevent the government being more liberal to a veteran that hiB own State has been, make those eligible only who are considered eligible by the States, and grant no pension to vet­ erans of StateB which do not pro­ vide for their own State soldiers. Gatherings such as that at Get- tysbury last week increases the sentiment for pensioning Confed­ erate veterans by the Federal gov ernment, Some of these days such a measure may be passed but it will come, if at-all, after the Con federate veterans are nearly all dead. This sentiment in faver of Feder­ al aid to Confederate veterans was voiced at Gettysburg last week by Gov. Cox of Ohio, who in a speech at the North Carolina camp de dared that the time had long since come when the United States gov ernment should take care, of dis abled Confederate Boldiers. “There are sven United States soldiers’ homes in Ohio,” declared Gover nor Cox. “ We do not need them all and I am in favor of turning one of them over to North Carolina at once. No men in the history of the world’s battle ever fought harder than did the men who wore the gray; they deserve to be..taken care of just as much as any other men who fought in the war between the States, and I an ready now to have it done.” . - ■ ■ Gov, Cox is a Democrat, A few years ago the public man, Demo­ crat or Republican, who uttered such, sentiments in Ohio would have been driven from public life; and the fact that the sentiment is openly proclaimed now by a Gover­ nor of a Northern State, shows how strong the feeling is.—Statesville Landmark. on the ground to cover up the young corn and the hoeman stop­ ped work. Mr. Hall thinks his in­ formant was a truthful man. A Morganton man told theNews Herald last week that he cut wheat one June when there was snow and ice on the grain. The- JBfetnld doesn’t vouch lor the statement. But as The Landmark suggested last week, something good can be said for the Jnne cold spell, Esq. J, P. Bradley says it destroyed the potato bugs, or-at least he has see none since; and when Esq. Bradley told Mr. Hall about the potato bugs the latfer recalled that he had seen none in his patch since the cold weather.—Statesville Land­ mark. boy Whoconfessed to starting the—..wovu tv OliMtlU^ btiq Jes which wrought destruction at * in Cool Spring township. Cold Weather in Other Summers— — • Destroyed Potato Bugs. “There is nothing new under the sun.” Every unnsual Bpell of weather that comes along is classed as a record breaker by the majority of the people. There was never such a spell before, they say. But the memory fails in many things, particularly about weather, Anent the cool spell last week Mr. M. N. Hall recalls that in the year 1859 or ’60 there was frost in June. He distinctly remembers that ha saw frost every month that year except in July and August and he heard other people say they saw frost in July. When he was living in the moun tains some yearB ago Mr. Hall says a man told him about hoeing corn, about June 1 st,-when snow began to fall. He kept at work, think­ i n g the snow would slop, but by aqd by enough snow ' IIrIiy Farm is Better Than Town. Youngman, stickto your farm and be not asfiamed of your - call­ ing, but rather proud of it. It seems much more- dignified and independent to see a. young man driving a good team hitched to a mower cuttingdown the red crown­ ed-clover, or reaping the golden grain, than measuring cloth be­ hind a counter in a dark room, deprived of the bright sunshine and health-giving breezes. And then you can be your own boss, which is worth a great deal, and you. can develop an individu­ ality and strength of character which will be a blessing in after life. In this day of telephones, rural deliveries and automobiles, when distance is annihilated,* the country is the place to live. In the quiet country life, cut off from the distractions of town, great thoughts which will outlive monu­ ments are born. “Let no poet,” says a prominent writer, “get himself born arid raised in capital but rather in the country.” Man is more observant, more self con-j tented, more ready to follow his perceptions of new truths. Soli­ tude draws us as much together as a crowd separates ns. This is why there is so little real intimacy in the world, whereas men who are accustomed to live in Bolitnde dig their affections deep. “I believe that solitude iB as necessary to friendship as it is to sanctity, genius or virtue.” When, you hear of one being lonesome and cut off from society ih the country you may safely say that person has.very little within himself and is a rather weak creature.

The following digest of the new automobile law will be interesting to tlie many, automobile owners of theconnty: ^ The main points of the law are few and plain, though the entire act is lengthy, All automobile owners must have the "machines registered by the last day of Jnrie and any who have not registered by that time will be violating the law to use them the first day of July or thereafter. The speed limit is ten miles an hour m business sections of towns and cities, fifteen in residence sec• tions, and twenty-five in country districts, though it must at all times be “reasonable and proper” in Connection with particular cir cuinstances, and any incorported towns or cities have the right to make the speed limit less than stipulated, but can not allow it to be more. The tax is five dollars for 25 horsepower cars, $7.50 for forty horsepower, and ten dollars for thosei over forty horsepower. Eigh­ ty per cent of the revenue from this tax goes to the counties which pay: it and is to be used for good roads. As it is estimated that there will be nine thousand cars to payithe tax in Noruh Carolina, this willjbe a considerable amount. No person under sixteen yearB of age is allowed to drive a car any­ where in the state. The car must have on the rar a conspicuous sign furnished by the secretary of state disyiaying the number of the car so that it may be plainly visible for fifty feet by day or night, and atfnight a red light must be so pla^d^^tqshine on this number which must at all times be kept clean. Other provisions provide for en forcement of the law and for pass ing to the right and - other direc­ tions as to general safety under all circumstances. It is made the duty of all police officers, consta­ bles, etc., to enforce the law, and if strictly enforced it will injure no one who is riding tor real pleas­ ure or for business, but only those who are using the public highways without any regard to the life and pleasure and business of others. —Lexington Dispatch.

Thomas Wright Kills Himself. Thomas Wright, who lives about a mile and a half west of Sheffield, this county, committed suicide last Tuesday afternoon by shooting him self through the head with a pistol. Mr.; Wright had been hauling lum­ ber that morning, and had returned home in time for dinner. After din­ ner he went out to his garden and did some hoeing. He started for his house, and passed his wife, who was washing. He told her to give him her hand, which she did. He then turned her loose and went into the house. She thought he had heard the telephone bell ring, and had gone to answer it. He went into his room, and pulled a trunk up against the door, and secured his pistol. About this time, one of his daughters pass­ ed the window and looked in, He told her goodbye,, and she noticed that he had his pistol in his hand She told him not to do anything with it, and started around to the front door. Before she arrived there she heard a shot, and heard her father fall to the floor. When help reach­ ed Mr. Wright he was dead. The bullet had pierced his head on one side and gone through, coming out --on the opposite side. Death was in stantanious. Mr. Wright had ap­ peared to be in his usual health, and none of his family had the least idea that he meant Nto attempt suicide. It is said that his rash act may have been caused by the death of one of his daughters, which occurred at Concord a few days previous to this time. Hisdaughterhad left home against his will and married a man at that place. He did not know of her death until after she was buried Mr. Wright was a hard workingman and had many friends, who were shocked to learn of his death. A wife and 8 or 9 children survive. The body was laid to rest' at New Union churchyard Wednesday after­ noon at 2 o’clock. The deceased was about forty years of age. Cooleemee News. Last Wednesday evening Cicero Rose- roan, colored, about 15 years old, was playing in the river below the dam of the Erwin cotton mill, when he slipped on a rock and fell and strangled and drowned before he could be released.

He was bom in Davie county on the, 22 nd day of December 1828, this' be- ing. 84 years, 6 months and 18 days old at the time of his death. . He had been-cutting some clover and grass for his horse and had returned to his house and suddenly expired on his piazza. He had been feeble but was going a- bout his daily duties and his sudden pass­ ing was quite a shock to his relatives and friends. Dr. Little was educated in. the common schools and academiesofhisday but never had the advantages of a- col­ legiate education.. He was a man of fine mind and after finishing his studies -here, he studied medieine and after graduating at the Northern Medical Colleges, he practiced his chosen profession with great success for many years. Hewasa man of positive convictions, strong common sense and sound judgement and high character and strict integrity. He amass­ ed a comfortable estate and was inde­ pendent. He never married and leaves a number of relatives and friends to mourn his death. He spent nearly the whole of his life In his native county, having bought property and lived in Iredell coudty a few years, but was living at his home in Davie coun­ ty at the time of his death. It is said he left a will and afterdeclar- ing certain legacies for his relatives; he gave the residue of his.estate to theBap- Hst Qrpliauagd at -Thomasville, N. C. . Although a professor of religion, he had never connected himself with any chjirch. He had been reading his bible just be­ fore the sudden summons came, calling him to his eternal home. The funeral of Dr. Little will .be preach­ ed at Bear Creek church on the first Sun­ day in August, by Rev. BrF. Rollins, of this city. Brings Suit For Slander. Mrs Cora M. Booe, of the ylHarmony community has instituted suit in Iredell Superior Court against Mr. David M- Camp­ bell, f f Rowan county for $5,000 damages for slander. The complaint of the plain­ tiff, filed in the office of the elerk of court by her attorneys, Messrs. W. D. Turner atod H. P. Grier, sets forth that sometime prior to last January several hundred dollars in gold was stolen from the home of Mr. Campbell; that at the time of the larceny of the gold the plaintiff was mak­ ing her home with Mr. Campbell, and that since that time the defendant Campbell has not only accused the plaintiff with having taken the money, but with incon- tinency as well, statements to this effect having been made, it is alleged, in the presence of various and divers persons. The plaintiff further complains that prior to this time she never had been charged with larceny or inconrinency and that Mr. Campbell’s statements to that effect have damaged her to the amount of $5,- 000.—Statesville Landmark. ' - the Landmark Mistaken.' Friday’s Statesville Landmark, in speak­ ing of Dr. Little, who recently died in this county, says that he left an estate val­ ued at about $75,000. Thisisa mistake. The estate will not exceed $35,000 at the most. The Landmark also says the de­ ceased was 87 years old, when it should have said 84 1-2 years. The Record just mentions these facts so that history may­ be kept straight. Letter From. Indiana. Mr. Editor:—I am sure the Davie Record is a welcome visitor at our home here in Indiana.

Many people have been handicapped and hardened t hroug Ii life by names inflicted on them in infancy by thoughtless parents. The worst ease ol this kind of which The Landmark has he rd comeB from Stanly county. Mr. T. J. Jerome of Salisbury, a form er Stanly man, was telling about it the other day and he personally knew the people. Years ago there was a blind man in Stanly conuty who was a pretty “hard case.” Sitting in the court house at AUie marie during a term of court, this man heard the word “larceny” used several times. Whether he didn’t know what it meant, or what possessed him, is a matter of conjecture. But anyway about that time a baby girl was born at the blind man's bouse and be named the poor child “Larceny.” Mr. Jerome knew her after she was a woman grown and the burden imposed by her father still a<1 hered— she was still called Lar­ ceny.

ADVERHSEiIENT Need of the Small Farmer. Mr. Bradford Knapp, in charge of the demonstration work in the south, says:“There is a tendency today throughout the south to think that we can do farming best on a bonanza scale, with large capital, large tracts of land and fine equipment; Even if it can be done profitable, I tell you that it is not a good thing for the country The strength, the civiliza­ tion, the manhood and the woman of the South depend largely on the to the cultivation of one tract of land for the support of himself, his wife and his children. What this country needs is the small white farmer, living on his own farm and doing the greater part of his work himself. If we men will only stick together we can do this and _ do it better than they can on the big cor­ poration plan.” For Cuts, Bums and Bruises.

McCreary, of Ken­ tucky, has read so much about the National Conservation Exposition that is to be held in Knoxville, Tenn., dur­ ing the months of September and Oc­ tober, had become so much impressed with the magnitude of the exposition and its importance to the South as a whole that he recently called Dr. J. B. Hoeing, State Geologist, before him. “Dr. Hoeing,” the.governor said in effect, “this exposition at Knoxville is going to be a big thing, a much bigger exposition for the South In every way than most people imagine. I am anx­ ious that you go. down to Knoxville, look over the ground, see what is be­ ing done, and arrange for a state ex­ hibit of Kentucky minerals at the ex­ position. Kentucky can not afford to be unrepresented, I believe.” Dr. Hoeing came to Knoxville, mar­ veled at the work being done and at the work already accomplished. He went back to Frankfort and made his report to Gov. McCreary. Kentucky will have its exhibit at Knoxville. _ The incident thus related is only one of a number of similar, character that have occurred recently. Many who could not see things aright before, have become convinced that the Na­ tional Conservation Exposition is to be in reality a national exposition, na­ tion-wide in scope, nation-wide in char­ acter. The United States government, through its different departments and bureaus, is taking a deep interest in the success of the big undertaking, and In no department probably more than in the Department of Mines and Minerals. In the first place the managers of the Exposition have taken into considera­ tion that the mineral resources of the Great New South are many and varied, that for richness of deposits there are none just like'them anywhere in the country, and they have taken into con­ sideration the fact that there is much development work still to be done among these mineral deposits. So a magnificent new building, white as snow, as are all of the other buildings of the Exposition, Is going up. It will be used exclusively for the display of mines and mineral exhibits. Here the resources that mean so much to the South will be on display; here the lessons of how best to con­ serve these wonderfully rich re­ sources will be taught; here the les­ sons of how best to protect the lives of those who go down in the mines as a means of earning a livelihood will be portrayed.

A Preacher’s “Artistic Tempera­ ment” Causes Trouble. EichmondDispatch. Theresidents of Churchhill are wrought up over the dismissal of Rev. David Francis as pastor of the Third Christian church because he kissed Mrs R. D. Inge, a member of his congregation. Thelatestdevelopment is an as­ sault upon Rev. Lester E. Groseclose, pastor of Fairmount Christian church by Mr. Inge, who.slapped the pastor in the face after prayermeeting-, it is said, because Rev. Mr. Groseclose was thought to be the person who made public the kissing story and brought about Rev. Mr., Francis’ dismissal. Mrs. Xnge is alleged to have assisted her husband, in the fray. Itisunderstood that Mrs. Ihge signed an affidavit that the pastor kissed her -three times' This he de­ nies, asserting, it is said, that he only kissed her once, his ‘'artistic temperament” causing him to com­ mit the act. They Are Striving For Success of Na­ tional Conservation Exposition. Women all over the South are work­ ing heart and soul for the success of the National Conservation TSxposition that will be held in Knoxville, Tenn., next September and October. The women will have a building on the exposition grounds devoted entire­ ly to them and to their interests. The building now in course of construction will be one of the handsomest and must striking'in the group of exposi­ tion structures. It is being built in the old Colonial style. The building was designed for the women; it is set apart for their use. In it will be shown hundreds and thou­ sands of things of interest to women. The woman’s building will be primarily devoted to the display of various things embraced in that comprehen­ sive term—domestic science—and to the display of the arts and crafts in which they will find delight and in­ struction. Mrs. Horace Van Deventer,,of Knox­ ville, a daughter of Justice Lurton of the supreme court of the United States, is'chairman of the woman’s board of the exposition and is devoting much of her time to the work. Mrs. Van Deventer Is getting splendid as­ sistance from the women of other great Southern states. NO ADVANCE IN HOTEL RATES. Visitors to National Conservation Ex­ position To Be Well Treated. Those who are contemplating a visit to the National Conservation Exposi­ tion In Knoxville during the months of September and October -of this year can make their plans assured of this fact: The rates at the Knoxvillehotels will not be advanced while the Expo­ sition is on. This has too often been the case In other cities where big na­ tional expositions have been held. It will not be the case In Knoxville. FISH AND GAME EXHIBIT. Under the direction of John H. Wal­ lace, Jr., Game and Fish Commissioner of Alabama, an exhibit of fish and game for the National Conservation Exposition is being prepared. Audu­ bon societies are also co-operating in thiB work.

The question has been mauy thousand times reader* tin!, • < Who is Peg- Leg Williams?’ ’llUwj ,Jf8 is a Southern man, who years Ja undertook to carrk the negroes fiom North Carolina.to Mississippi, Arkansas and Louisiana. He was airent ior certain railroads and many- ^ re planters in the above mentioned States. He carried a- ffay a lev in 1888 and in 1891, but did a wholesale business in the Fall 0f iwiil and the Spring of 1890. Along then farm products ware somewhat low and the negroes were congested in and around the towns. This made it easy for him. jfr. Williams said he carried out 20,000 from this State in one year, many train loads of them going a „ay. They went from Greenville, Tarboro, Halifax, Weldon, Eock Monnt, Wilson, Goldsboro, Selma, Smithtield, Clayton, Franklinton, Raleigh, and many other points. Selmawasa gathering point ior this section. They camped there in houses, tents and every other way. John M. Beckwith, colored, of Smithfield1 helped him in his work in this Stote. We remember a conversation be­ tween t ro negroes about him as follows: “Aunt Susan, how is Aunt Rachel getting on now?’ “Law, chile, Peg Leg Williams dun tuck yo Aunt Eacbel and car­ ried her away to the Masseysipp. She dun gone forever; you never see her agin.” Where is Peg Leg Williams? This question waB asked by women who had lost their cooks and wash- er-womeu and helpers around the home.. It was asked -by farmers whose tenants and day laborers and month laborers had gone. It was asked by coloren people whose friends had been carried away and no doubt has been asked many times by some who are carried a- way. Peg-Leg upset industrial condi­ tions in North Carolina so much that the Legislature passed a law putting high license onhisbuRiness. This stopped him. I had sot heard from -him for years until one day this month was in front of a store in Hot Springs, Ark., and a man drove up on a trucker’s wagon and bought a cabbage to take home with him. He said to me, “Are you a stranger in this city?” I told him I was there from North Carolina. He then said I ought to know him, aB he did so much work around Smith held and Selma. He then pulled up his pants to his knee and hitting his right leg with his hand said, .“ I am old Peg Leg Williams.” He IiveB about five miles from Hot Springs, and inns a little berry farm raising strawberries, raspberries and~dew berries.—Shithfield Herald. A Few Fools. It is impossible to gather many People together without finding 60raC fools iu the company—people who have no sense of the proprieties and whose conduct brings shame to self-respecting people. At Get­ tysburg last week a South Caro- bdan distinguished himself caIting a public speaker a liar; and 't was a Virginian, now a resident ofNew Jersey, who stabbed eight “ion in a Gettysburg hotel when nion veteran properly resented a U8e of Lincoln.

Forget and Forgive. “Forget and forgive,” was the keynote of a speech-delivered by former Vice President Charles. W. Fairbanks at a banquet tendered him by 300 Republican leaders of Omaha, Nebraska, June 23rd. The gathering was fairly represent!ve of both wings of the party in that State. Mr. Fairbanks, speaking of the future said: “Now and.then we have heard it sfaid that the Republican party basiended its career; that it is a ’ of the past rather than of the future. Such proyhecy is hot new, we have heard it 'proclaimed iu other days. “Circumstances which unfortun­ ately led to party divison a year ago no longer exists. “Republicans,- that is to say, those who believe In the political docteine of the Republican party, are largely in the majority through out the country.- I have no doubt whatever-that logical events will bring them into CO operation again.

It is oftener the sign of a mortgage.” A headline in the Winston Journal last Thursday reads: "Money Plenti­ ful in Winston-Salem.” Wonder if the editor is connected with any church? There may not be a panic but something seems to be the matter with the money market. It is im­ possible for a fellow to borrow enough cash to buy a blackberry pie in these strenuous times. Two colored druggists have been indicted and convicted in Winston for selling booze. Some of these days some of the white fellows some­ where may accidentally be indicted on the same charge. Some of the boys who have been at the pie counter for the past ten or fifteen years seem to be mighty hard to prize loose. Among them is District Attorney Holton, who is hanging on for dear life, and will continue to do so as long as possible. And nobody from Davie received an invitation to the big opening ,of the Grove Park Inn at Asheville. The proprietor Jknew that no one from this section would ever be able to stop at the Inn, and for this rea­ son we were not remembered. It is said that the cheapest room in the house is $7.50 per day, not counting the cost of the meals. For fifty years, says President Wilson, “business men have been longing for tariff emancipation.” Perhaps we may not quite under­ stand what this means, but if eman­ cipation is like the thingthe business men got the last time the Democrats were in'power once in fifty years is too much. —Union Republican. Board of Trade Organized. Pursuant to a call issued by the Mayor of Mocksville, a number of citizens of the town met at the May­ or’s office Wfdnesday evening, July 23rd, 1913, and it was decided to or­ ganize a Board of Trade. J. H. Clement, Jr., was called to the chair, and C. Frank Stroud was made sec retary. The first business was to elect officers, and the following gen­ tlemen were named for the various officers: President—T. J. Byerly. Vice-Presidents—W. R. Clement and J. L. Sheek. Secretary—C. Frank Stroud. Treasurer—John H. Clement, Jr. The following committee was ap­ pointed to confer with the merchants of the town in regard to giving prizes for a Trade and Sales day to be held in Mocksville the first Mon day in each month: B. F, Hooper, W. R. Clement, George Walker and W. L. Gall. The first Trade and Sales day will be held the first Mon day in September. The following committee was appointed to look after new enterprises for the town, and to do all in their power to boost the town and to help advertise it to outsiders: T. J. Byerly, J. P. Green J. L. Sheek, An initiation fee of 50c. is to be charged every person who joins the Board of Trade. This money goes to pay the incidental expenses of the organization. The following citizens had their names enrolled asmembers: George Walker, W. L. Call, G. G. Daniel, T. A. Stone, W. R. Glement1 Rev. E. P. Bradley, John H. Clement, Dr. A. Z. Taylor, V. E. Swaim, B. F. Hooper, W. M. Howard, J. L Sheek. T. J. Byerly, C. Frank Stroud. The Board of Trade will meet every Monday evening at the old court house, at 8 o’clock. There be­ ing no further business, the meeting adjourned. S-Itns to be hoped that every mer- chant and business man in Mocks­ ville will join this association, as means much to the town, There nothing that will help a town more than a good, live board of trade.

The Davie County Farmers’ Union Picnic was held at Clement Grove, this citv. last Thursday. On ac­ count of the busy season, there were not more .than 500 people present, among them being a number of the citizens of the town. The speakers of the day were Mr. A. J. Reid, of the U. S. Department of Agricul­ ture, who spoke at 11 o’clock. Mr. Reid made a good speech, and spoke of cattle raising and' dairying. His speech has been highly compliment­ ed. The next speaker on the pro­ gram was Mr. -J. Z1 Green, State Or­ ganizer of the Farmers’ Union, who spoke for more than one hour on the question of the Farmers’ Union. It is needless to say that Mr. Green’s speech was highly enjoyed. The an­ nual picnic would npt be a picnic if he were to fail to show up at the proper time. After the conclusion of the speech, dinner was served. We are not going to try to tell about what was spread out before the hun­ gry crowd. It would take too much space. Suffice it to say that one of th e editor's friends provided a mighty good blackberry pie, and there was cake, chicken, ham, pies and pickles of every denomination. After the dinner hour Mr. John W. Robinson, of Hickory, President of the Catawba County Creamery As­ sociation, spoke for about two hours, and his speech was interesting and instructive from start to finish. He explained to the Davie farmers the correct method of raising cattle, how to co-operate with each other and place their butter, - eggs, etc., on the market to thebest advantage. Mr. Robinson is one of Catawba’s most successful farmers and dairy­ men, and what he doesn’t know a- bout cattle is not worth telling. Sorry we are not able to give his speech in full. Every farmer in Davie county should have been pres­ ent to hear him. Wehope that he Vill come back again in the near future and give us another speech. From a financial standpoint the pic­ nic was not a success, but those who failed to epme missed a treat. It is thought that in the future the pic­ nics will be held ,at Center, as a larg­ er crowd can be secured at the point.

I see in the local columns of last week’s Record that Cooleemee has 50 cases of fever. I do not know whether it was a mistake in printer’s ink, or whether some one has misrepresented the case to you. Anyway there ere but .5 cases here and the most of them are getting better, and there has been only two deaths by fever. I do not say that sanitation is what it could be in Cooleemee, but 'I felt it my duty to correct the statement. As to smallpox, there was one case only at North Cooleemee several, weeks ago. The baseball game here Saturday even ing, Charlotte against Cooleemee, was a shut-out, as the seore was 10 to 0 in favor of Cooleemee. Mrs. Lueas, formerly of Cooleemee, but now of Greensboro, was visiting her moth­er, Mrs. Richie last week.

For the past two or three weeks we have been making X marks af­ ter: the names of those of our sub­ scribers who are owing us on sub­ scription. So far as we have been able to discover, it has had but Iit- tie effect on our readers. They do not see the cross marks, or if they do, pay no attention whatever to them. It is not a pleasant duty to dun our subscribers, but the paper cannot run without money.. Nine- tenths of those who owe us: are able to pay if they would. Many of them are wealthy and on "bur books are the names of merchants, doctors, lawyers, bankers, preachers, clerks, farmers and mechanics who are due us money on the paper. There are between six and eight hundred of them. Because they won’t pay us, we cannot pay the doctor, the mer­ chant and the preacher. Our cred­ itors need what we owe them, and we want them to have it. The edi­ tor depends on his subscribers and advertisers for a living, and when they fail, our income is cut off. If there is an X mark after your name this week, it means that your help is earnestly solicited—that we can­ not pay our honest debts until you pay us. Your immediate help is earnestly requested. -Bring, mail or send us a dollar or a half dollar, and makeyourself and the editor both happy. HOW ’BOUT MOCKSVILLE?
