He theory of the recall of judges, Wcli never was defended by sound- Lliing men. is dying a natural death, i it will soon take Its place in that vLo 0f foolish products of political Lrance occupied by the greenback L free silver crazes. Ex-Oovernor Lorn of Michigan, who was one of Uj original Progressives and once an Lneet advocate of the farrago of non- se included with the sound fea tures of the Progressive program, has discovered the folly in the demand for Jiiiicial recall and is now advocating L election of judges for life, in order Jlat they may be freed from political jjoniliiation. He prefers life tenure to ,tied terms, which he aptly describes K periodical recall. In order to cover Us retreat he is talking about the re moval of life tenure judges by petition U popular elections when they prove amselves unfit. But he cannot urge (Hs remedy very long, for one who rrlshes judges to be free from political domination cannot consistently turn them over to the tender mercies of a tyraBoira! popular majority. He will soim discover that the orderly proc esses of removal by impeachment will produce much better results than can he secured by recall at the polls.

S t a t e s v i l l e L a n d m a r k . The Ghapel H ill News stated re cently that at their meeting in October the Orange county com missioners paid $276.50 to farmers whose sheep had been killed by ‘logs. Thisstatem enthasattracted much attention. The action of the commissioners is the result of a model dog law passed for Orange by the Legislature at the instance of Eepresentative Pickard—may his tribe increase. The law makes it unlawful to ' allow any vicious dog, “ or dog that sucks eggs, de stroys or injures fowls or sheep, or commits like depredations,” to run it large. The owner of such dog is liable to a fine ot $50 or imprison ment for 30 days for perm itting the dog to run at large. All dogs are taxed $1 each, must be listed as other property and when so listed are protected by law—become pro perty —so that one who takes, steals ir carries away a dog listed for taxation is guilty of larceny. The revenue arising from this Io g ta x is k e p tin a separate fund aud each year the commissioners Shallr aiUpon satisfactory evidence of damage to sheep in Orange coun ty, pay to the owner of such sheep he amount of such damage.” The balance of the tax, if any, is to go one halt to the road Iund and one half to tbe school fund. T hatis a model dog law. It covers the whole ease and Mr Pickard deserves a monument for passing it. It is no hardship on the dog owner; it gives his dog the Drotectien of the law by his paying $1 tax. It makes the owner of a vicious dog or a dog known to be in the habit of sucking eggs, at tacking sheep or towla or commit? cine like depredations, guilty of a uisdemeanor if he allows such dog to run at large. Gan anything be more j ust than that! W ill anybody contend that such dogs should be permitted to run at large? . And then the man who can show that his. sheep were killed by dogs is paid for them out of this dog tax fund. This law should* apply to every county, in the State. The voters of Iredell should go after the can didates for the Legislature and insist that they promise such a law for Iredell. Boys Montgomery Mines. Eli Sheets, the rich candy manu facturer of Washington who makes Martha Washington: candies, has purchased the IoIa and' the Martha Washington gold mines in Montgom ery county, and will work them. ,The Iola is considerd oue of the very best mining prospects in the South. Capt. M. L. Jones took much gold out of it. It is understood that Mr. Sheets paid $30,000 for it. He bought the Martha Washington mine from Mrs. E. B._C. Hambley. Lincoln's Religion. I have never United myself to any church .because I have found difficulty in giving my asset with out mental reservation to the long, complicated statements of Christian doctrine which characterize their articles of belief and confessions of of faith. W henever any church will inscribe over its altar as its sole qualification for membership the Savior’s condensed statement of the substance of both law and gospel. “ Tbou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all tby mind, and thy neighbor as thyself,” that church will I join with all my heart and"all my so u l—Abraham Lincoln.

The Youth’s Companion, since its enlargement, gives generous space to this matter of atheletic training, and gets the best coaches in the country to write for it. How to practice to become a first- rate pitcher, how to train for a race, how to learn the newest strokes in swimming—these and a hundred other topics of the greatest interest to boys—to girls, too, for that mat ter—are touched upon in this im portant department of The Com panion.

THE YOUTH’S COMPANION, 144 Berkeley Street, Boston, Mass. The Cross of Gold. G r e e n s b o r o D a i l y N e w s . The war has given to the master of German at least one thing that will hardly vanish before the strng gle is over. True, there are many things resultant from the war that are permanent., Thebeautiful liner that bore his name, for instance, will never sail the seas again, M aay.a fine wajsphip. that, dipped, her flag in his honor has vanished. Thousands of his, loyal subjects will never be welcomed home by th,eir wives and children, and other thousands will come back, broken, travesties of their former manhood, doomed to drag, their shattered bodies throagh years of existence hardly better tnan a living death. There has been ereated woe enough to curse this realta for generations to come. B n tallth e thr.ugs are on the debt side of the ledger. There is one entry on the oth«r side—the emperor has received the Grand Gross of M aria Theresa! Show on Mt. Pisgah Friday. A s h e v i l l e C i t i z e n , 1 7 t b . Eesidents of Asheville who were on the streets at an early hour yesterday morning had an oppor tunity of seeing the first snow since the Oarly part of last spring, fo l lowing the drenching rains of the past few days the temperature ex perienced a considerable drop and as the,gray of early dawn brighten ed Ititp the full light of day the flanks of Mount Pisgah were aglit- ter with the light snow that had fallen there. The warm rays of the sdn that made its appearance for the first time in several days sodn dispelled all of this, however, and in a short time the thin white coat had disappeared.

We might remark in passing that Mr. Bumgarner, of Wilkes, our Sena tor in the 28th Senatorial district, was elected by the usual majority ©f between two and three thousand. From the latest returns received up to one o’clock this morning, it would appear that North Carolina, together with her neighbor, South Carolina, has gone Democratic by some kind of a majority. Up to the hour of goiRg to press this morning at 9 o’clock, we have been unable to reach Theodore R. over the wires to enquire if the River of Doubt still flows toward: the sea. If we have said or done anything to offend even the least of our friends in Davie during the late unpleasant ness, we are man enough to take it all back, provided the ones we of fended are larger than we. The embargo on cotton has beeB raised, and cotton can now be ship ped to all the European counties, which ought to mean that the price will advance some. We d|e hoping that the farmer will get at least ten cents for his cotton before the new year. We hope that Davie’s representa tive will have at least two laws passed for the county this winter namely: A law to prevent th e slaughter of heifer calves, and a law to put a tax of $1 or $2 on every dog in Davie county. Two such laws would be worth more to us than* all the former laws passed for the coun ty in the past decade Good or bad news never comes singly. Along with the election re turns comes the news that the brandy distilleries ot Nash county have agreed to go out of business. If this thing continues; what will be come of the North Carolina counties that depend on old booze to elect their tickets. But let the good work go on. REPUBLICANS MAKE BIG GAINS. PROGRESSIVES LOSE STRENGTH AND DEMOCRATS DEFEATED IN MANY STATES. Democratic Majority in House Greatly Reduced.-Republican Elected to Congress in The Tenth District--State Democratic hy 30,000. New York, Nov. 2.—Sweeping Republican gains throughout- the country, which reached a climax in New York by the overwhelming v i c t o r y o f CharlesS. Whitman for Governor, and James W . WadB worth to succeed Elibu Root, in the United States Senate, were_indi- cated tonight. The heavy Progressive losses in many StateB and tne return to Congress of Former Speaker Joseph G. OaoBon, the over whelming defeat of Representative Palmer by Senator Roies Penrose in Pennsylvania were the features of the early returns. The Senators re elected as a result of the hard battles were: Bran- degee, Republican, Connecticut; Cnwmins. Republican, Iowa; Smith, Democrat, M a r y la n d ; Stone, Democrat, Missouri; Galliuger, Republi can, New HampBbire. The Demoeratic Senators in the South were all re-elected without difficulty. Obio goes Democratic, while Pennsylvania and Indiana goes R e publican by big majorities. All Republicans in Idaho eieeted. Iowa goes Republican. Wm. McKinley, Republican, elected in Illinois. Oklahoma gives usual Democratic majority. Miehigan in doubt. Re turns from Missouri show Champ Clark re eieeted. U tah goes Repub lican while North Dakota is in doubt. Returns from various counties in North Carolina would indicate that the Constitutional Amendments carried by a small majority with the possible exception of the Tax Amendment. James J. Britt, Republican, is elected to Congress by about 1,000 majority, defeating Gudger1 Democrat. Democrats claim the election of Stedman in the Fifth for Congress by over 4,000; Doughton in the Eighth by 1,500, although Republican headquarters claim that Linney has defeated Dough ton. The Demo era!a will doubtless have nine out of the ten Congressmen from North Carolina, which is the first Republican Congressman eieeted sinee 1908 from this State. Returns from practically all parts of the State gives the Democrats i majority of between 30,000 and 40,000. Sampson county swats the Democrats by 1400 majority while our -ieighbor Iredell goes stronger Democratic than heretofore. Rowan is Democratic while Davie is Republican. Forsyth goes Democratic by from 59 to 500, while Yadkin defeats the Democrats and Bull Moasers by 750. Wilkes, Stokes, Surry, Mitchell and Orange go Republican >y substantial majorities. Cabarrus county goes Republican by 200 majority, and Calvin StoBestreet, a Davie boy, was elected Clerk of the Court. Catawba and Lincoln counties go Republican for the first time in nany years and elects a State Senator and one Representative. Harnett county goes Republican by 125 Burke goes Republican md elects Representative. Lafe returns from the Tenth D istnet gives B ritt, Republican, 500 majority for Congress against Gudger.

The Farmers’ Union of Pasquo tank county will appaar before the next session of the North Carolina legislature and ask that every dog in the State, regardless of pedigree or previous condition of servitude, be taxed $1 per year, and the money turned into the school fund- They claim that the tax derived from such a tax would increase the school term one month each year, besides ridding the State of thousands of worthless curs that are now eating bread that the hogs should have. Allof which censtramsjus to yell a hearty amen Such a Ia^ is just what we need, and here’s hopjng that the good farmers of Pasquotank will make it so hot for the legislature that such a law will be passed. Wewould be glad if the Davie County Farmers’ Union would join their friends m the east and help them secure this law.

ThetenthD avie County Baraca- Philathea Convention was held at Wesley’s Chapel, en Saturday and Sunday, and it was a great meeting. The firstmeetingwasheld at 4 o’ clock Saturday afternoon, witn Presi dent Caudell presiding. The devo tienal exercises were conducted by Rev. J. B. Tabor, after which address of welcome was delivered by Mr. C. G. Hutchens, of Cana, and was re sponded to by Pres.. Caudell. The evening exereises began at 7:30 o’clock, and was well attended. This meeting was given over to the busi ness of the convention, and consisted of remarks by the President, the minutes of last meeting, the trea surer’s report and invitations for next meeting. The following com mittee were appointed to select the time and place for the next meeting, and they reported as follows: That the next meeting would be held at Cooleemee on the first Saturday and Sunday in April of next year. L. L. Miller, W. G. Latham, Frank Stroud, Commitee. Thiscommitee will also arrange the program for the next meeting. The Sunday morning meet ing was called to order at 10:30, and a large crowd was present. The roll- call showed that there were 52 clas ses in Davie Countyi with aboHt30 represented. The class reports were next read, and they showed that the Baraca and Philathea classes were doing a great work in the eountry. At l l o’clock, Mr. M. B. Andrews, a young man of Cary, N. C., spoke to the large assemblage. His sub ject was. “Baraca-Phiiathea Classes as Soul Winning Institutions.” Mr. Anbrews made one of th e best speeches that it has been our pleasure to hear, and his remarks were highly complimented by those who were present. His address was inspiring will result from it. At 2 o’clock Sun day afternoon A. B. Saleeby of Salis bury, who is known throughout the State as a great Baraca, delivered an interesting address on “ Why the Sun day School Leaks.” His remarks were timely, and those'who failed to hear him missed a treat. The meet ing closed at 3 o’clock, and all went home feeling that it was good to have there. -We almost forgot to mention the bounteous dinner that was spread Sunday in the church yard, and if anyone failed to enjoy it something must have been the matter with them. Everything good was spread before the great crowd, from ’possum and ham down to cherry pie. The editor had the pleas ure of stopping at the hospitable heme of Mrs. J. F. Ward, and never have ure been treated better or fared more sumptiously than at this beauti ful old country home, which is situat ed on the brow of a beautiful hill, surrounded by broad fields of wheat and corn, and green pastures. This Mrs. Ward has three sons and four daughters daughters at home, and the farm is managed by Mr. Stacy Ward, one of Davie’s most progress ive young farmers. O urstay with these good people was greatly en joyed, and we are sorry we could not remain with them longer. The Pino section is the garden spot of Davie county, and the people are the clev erest to be found anywhere. The editor wishes to thank them all in the name of the Baracas and Phila- theas of Davie county, for their hospitality during this convention. Every delegate thinks that he or she had the best home in the county dur ing their stay with these good peo ple.

Davis, superintend ent of tbe State Anti-Saloen Lea g u e , bas at last aroused the loeal officers to their duty in Nash and other counties where brandy dis tilleries have been operated in flagrant violation of the law. The sheriffof Nash is raiding these distilleries. One man had made 1,000 gallons of brandy. ; Is is a shame to the whole State that this business was allowed to go on even for a short time. The pretence that there is a loophole in the law is nonesense.—-Ex. Important.

BEVASE of OINTMENTS for CATARRH THAT CONTAIN MERCURY. There is more Catarrh in this sec tion o tbe country than all other diseases pat together, and until tbe last few years was supposed to be incurable. For a great many years doctors pronounced it a local dis ease and prescribed local remedies, and by constantly failing to cure with local treatment, pronounced it incurable. Sdience has proven catarrh to be a constitutional dis ease and therefore requires consti tutional treatment. H all’s Catarrh Cure, manufactured by P. J. Che ney& Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitutional cure on the mar kefc. It is taken internally in doses from 10 drops to a teaspoonful. It acts directly on the blood and mu cous surfaces of the system. They offer one hundred dollars for any case it fails to cure. Send or cir culars and testimonials.

From the very day hosti lities opened across the ceas poBtalr savings receipts began to innrpnag t>y leaps and bounds and withy drawals fell off, a result quite con-, .trary to the predictions of many Wellinfermed persons w h o , ia their imagination, saw lines of fev erish depositors at post-office pay windows anxiotiB to again retnrai their savings te the boot leg and body belt depositories whence they came before intrusted to TJncle jam . But the forecasters failed te reckon on the absolute confidence >f the American citizen, regard* less of the flag that first met his ejes, in the ability and parpose of the Government to carry out its obligations, not only among the nations of the earth, but with the humblest citizen of oar land. Two im portant results have fol lowed; thousands of people, largely of foreign birth, accustomed to send their savings abroad, are now patrons of our postal sayings sys tem; and enormous sums of actual • i8h have been released for com mercial uses among ourowja people at a time when the need for every available dollar is pressing. The growth of postal Bavingb in the United States has been Btsady and healthy and the system has filled an im portant gap between the tin can depository and the fac tory paymaster. On Jnly I, when affairs were running smoothly hero and abroad and the transmission ot money across the A tlantic was sale and expeditions, there was approximately $43,000,000 of pos tal savings standing to the eredit of about 388,000 depositors. Since ,then over $10,000,000 of deposits have been added and the number of depositors has increased enorm ously. This unprecedented gain is the more striking when it is con sidered that the net gain in the last three months is larger than the gain.for the entire fiscal year 1914. Scores of offiees have done more postal savings business since the war has been going on. than was (tone by them daring the previous existence of the service. The in creases are confined to no speial localities, but have been felt in every nook and ’ corner of t h-.e conn try. New York City alone msyde a gain in September of more thatn a million, while Brooklyn showed a relatively big increase. O hicagoreporteda laiger gain in the past three months than for the previous twelve menthSi More than 7,000 new accounts were opened th a t dnring the period, bringing tike number of depositors in eity up to over 21,000. I The unexpected increase in pos tal savings buisness has not only adde'd greatly to tie general ad-, m iuistrative duties of the system, b at has' brought up many new and interesting problems which have called for the careful personal con sideration of Postmaster General Burleson arid Governor Dookery, T hird A ssistant Postmaster Gener al But their task has been lig h t ened somewhat by the promptness of depository banks in fnr“‘Bb^“g additional security to meet the ab normal deposits. A nunber of the very largest banks in the country, which have heretofore declined to qualify as depositories so rjo sta l- eavings funds, are now among the eager applicants for them.

HBalegfL enti% »elasdm' Cotton and Tobacco—A Strange Situation. Raleigh Christian Advocate. One of the sttiking things that come to the surfaee in times of fin ancial depression sueh as this eoun try is passing through just now, is the fact that the prices of nsel things stand the Btrain oftenl better than those whieh are as necessities. Eor ' many years cotton has been recognized as king ia the South. It is a staple neces sity for men and women. It is the most largely used material in the clothing of the world; and yet it is jnst now the hardest hit industry the whole country. Nobody seems to want it at any price and those who m ast needs dispose of it must do so at abont half what they conld have reasonably expected to get. On the other hand tobacco never or rarely did any user of it any good. It neither feeds nor clothes the man who Consumes it. It of tentimes posions his system, wreeks his health, disorders his mind and makes his presence l e s B agreeable to his neighbors. T et it is selling on the market today alm ost. as it the European war was not in pro gress. This fact was impressed as we walked the streets in Henderson. The tobacco wagons had almoEt bloekid the streets in front of the warehouses and the fioer was erowd- od to the limit. W e were told that tha sales would not be able to clear more than two of Ehem during the day, and farmers were going home and .come again the next day to see their tobacco sold. We are glad these farmers are getting their jnoney, but w e could but think that people ninst chew, and smoke, and dip, whether they wore clothes or not. And we could not help bmt wonder why h u m a n nature would pursue sneh a queer course. Try This for Your Cough.

We have been informed that our representative will have a dog law passed for Davie. We say hurrah for Tom, and wish him success: We are sorry to chronicle the loss of one of our oldest and most valued subscribers one day recently. VVe don’t know whether it was the elec tion or the advance in the price of the paper that caused the Doctor to stop it, but he will miss us fully as much as we miss him. The farmers of Davie county are going to act wise in the future and plant more corn and grain and less cotton. Tobacco will also come in for the monied crop, and the cotton farmers in Davie should be as scarce as the sugar farmers in Louisiana. Ourvotecannot be purchased with a year’s subscription and we would rather lose all the subscibers we have in the county than to vote for a man to fill an office whom we thought wasn’t competent to dis charge the duties. The Way Davie Voted. The official vote of Davie county gives a Republican majority of about 300. Following is the vote as cast in the county, with the Republican candidate’s name appearing first: Congress. T. R. McRary 1063 R. N. Page 763 State Senate. L.

Daniel, the new man who made the race on the Republican ticket, ran considerably ahead of the ticket, which demonstrates the fact that it pays to make a change in the county ticket occasionally. There were 7 Socialist votes cast in the county; 4 at Cooleemee and • 3 at Shady Grove. TobaccovSeIIing WelK The editor was in Statesville Fri day morning and dropped, around to see how tobacco was selling at the Planters’ Warehouse. We found a number of farmers present and the sale iust beginning. About 3,000 pounds was sold and the price aver aged about 124 cents per pound. Sales were light the past week on aceount of the dry weather and wheat sowing. The farmers of Davie would do well .to carry their tobacco to this market. The gentlemen in charge are clever men and have plenty of time to look after all their patrons. Box Sapper at Fork.

WHOLESALE AND RETAIL. f M ocksville, 4 N .C . I * THE BULL TRACTOR. m - 1 ; -T i dr You farmers working 80 acres or more have felt I’hat soon a new mechanical power should be invented tltat would actually take the place of horses in i:ield and Othf r farm work and cost less to buy. After !fourteen years ’ work we are able to conscientiously offer this wonderful little tractor which will fully satisfy your hopes. WHAT THE BULL TRACTOR IS. A three-wheeled machine, two in a hard smooth furrow, one on the stubble. Has a leveling device by which operator can readily level tractor when on side hills. Has but five working gears. One of these is a roller pinion. Has but one drive wheel thus eliminating equalizing gears. Has but one main drive gear, and will last daring the life of the tractor. WHAT THE BULL TRACTCfR DOES. Pulls two 14-inch stubble plows in any ordinary !soil. Pul ls the load of five horses. Never gets tired. Cost nothing for1, harnesses.. Costs one-, half as much for gasoline as for-horse feed, and does not eat when it does not work. Gets your work done in time. C: C. Sanford Sons’ Company, M ocksville, R C.

"If I could take only one paper,” said the late Mr. Sustice Brewer of the Supreme Court, “it would be The Youth’s Companion—a little of everything in a nutshell, and un biased.” The Companion is a family paper in the completest '■sense. It provides reading that, without fail ing to interest the young, still in terests the m ature. It unites young and old through their common en joyment of delightful fiction, agree able miscellany, and the clear ex position of public questions. So carefully is it edited, so varied areits contents, that it would easily supply a family with entertaining fiction, up-to-date information and wholesome fun, if no other periodical entered the house. If you are not familiar with The Companion as it is to-day, let us send you sample copies and the Forecast for 1915. New subscribers who send $2 00 for the fifty-two issues of 1915 will receives free all the remaining issues of 1914, besides a copy of The Com panion Home Calendar for 1914.

Z. W. W hitehead, editor of the Southern Lumber Jourual, of W il mington, N. C., who has just re turned from Jacksonville, Fla., where he attended; the October meeting of the Georgia-Florida Saw Mill association, says that the saw mills in Georgia, Florida,: Alabama aBd Mississippi have suspended operations temporarily. There are a few mills running, he" said, on part time. Prices, he said, are at the lowwator mark, and about the only thing certain is that they can go no lower. Wages have been cut Is per cent, at practically, every mill in that territory from presi dent and general manager down to water boy.—Telegraphic dispatch, Oct. 12. The lumber business in North Carolina is not much better. And why? It was in bad shape long before the “ war in Europe.” Every since Wilson became President there has lfeen a decline in demand and prices. Who will deny this? ShnatorSimmons saw the trend 'and came near being nabooed by hie party for voting with the Hub licans for the protection of lumber in the Wilson Free Taade Tariff hill.

There is more Catarrh in this sec tion 0 the co u n try than all other diseases pat together, and until the last few years was supposed to be incurable. For a great many years doctors pronounced it a / local dis ease and prescribed local remedies, and by constantly: failing to cure with local treatment, pronounced it incurable. Science has proven catarrh to be a constitutional dis ease and therefore requires consti tntional treatment. H all’s Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J. Chie ney& Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitutional cure on the mar ket. It is taken internally in doses from 10 drops to a teaspoonful. It acts directly on the blood and mu cous surfaces of the-system. They offer one hundred ’ dollars for any case it fails to cure. Send or cir culars and testimonials.

Hail to The Roas'in’ Ear. M o n r o e E n q u i r e r . Corn planted thiB year on the 22ud of July has made the fineBt kind of a crop. It iB trne that such Iatepiantinghas not. made hard eom, bnt it made what is better —roasting ears. Did you ever itop to think about roasting ears? Take these little bits of ears which yon can have in Jane if you plant the six-weeks variety of corn—and they are just fine, or at least they seem to be fine beoause is is the first taste of corn for the year—and then when corn eomes into his kingdom along in July, August and September and routing ears are large and plentiful, then it is I rat life is worth living. But after all corn is best just before frost gets it—and the late roasting ear patch brin'gs pleasure unspeakable. How in che world did the folks, live be- fore good, honest old John Com came into his own? The patriarchs in old Bible times knew nothing of roasting eara. And the patri arch died. They did not grow eorn in that day and in their country, n all M ethuselah’s long life he never knew what it was to pick up a good hot roasting ear, put some good yellow butter on it, shake a Little salt on it, and then using nothing but the hands and mouth old mother nature gave him, go af ter that corn. And Methuselah missed much. W hy to live from the middle of June to the middle of October where one can get plenty of roaEting ears is equal to living some score years like Methuselah had to live. But that jig is abont up with roasting ears now. The man who wrote uThe melancholy days have come, the saddest of the year,” got his inspiration, beubt- less, to write in that strain while he was lpoking on a frost bitten, roasting ear patch.

I confess chat the modern socall ed sugar cured ham comes nearei being nothing, according to mj taste, than any modern inventioi to make believe. Postnm serves it- purpose becaus it is hot and tbf color of coffee—and as cheap coffee is the poor man’s lot, be know* nothing about the wonderful flavoi of the wonderful real thing, Java— at least he gets it so seldom he for gets the flavor, and Postum sus tains his strength because he be lieves in ghosts and fairies and elf. and goblins—but these modern cured hams; these lifeless; tasteless pounds of meat—these flabby, doct ored, tortured, drained, sapped, vapid, stale, flat and unprofitable remains of a respcetable hog drawn through a morgue and saturated iD embalming fluid with a distinctive and original odor—these are tbe things I am singing about, and solmnly declariug that upon my honor I would just as soon eat a dish of chewing gum or the sole of a rubber shoe or a part of my pun ctured tire. I b the old days—those grand old days gone from all of us—we used to have a smoke house and. we got hickory chips and bark and we made a smudge fire and we smoked those hams to beat tbe band. And when they came out they had a twang and a tang—they showed that once they had blood course through them; they tasted like ham and smelled like ham—and the gravy was red—and a hungry man a half mile from tbe house where the ham was frying would smack his lips and go home hungry and royenous... „J?u,t.now weA eat bran, for breakfast—for dinner and for supper, and we pay about ateenty steen cents a pound for it and go through the motions like a grouud ling rehearsing the part of Jusins Caesar, and set up from the table, pick pur teeth and go out into the cold world with tho hope of hold ing up somebody for another honest lollar to continue the war on death —to see how long we can survive. Crudthese insipid and dream-form ed hams, these hams afraid to as sert their nationality or sex—these chemically cured and chemically devoured hams, may sustain life, but. I ’d rather take them hypoder mically than be disapointed in try ing to taste tbem.

Rusaans Have Taken Twenty Thousand Prisoners And Captured Many Germ an Cun*. , London, Nov. 11.—According to Petrograd dispatches, the Germans have suffered a more serious defeat on the Russian border than the of ficial statements disclosed. It is de clared that the Russians in the re cent fighting captured more than twenty thousand prisoners and a quantities of guns and munitions. The Russian advance in Poland, at rate of fourteen miles daily, has as tonished the military experts The advance has continued for eighteen days. The Germans have resumed their attack on the allied line between the c >ast and the Lys river. While the French claim generally to have held their positions, the Germans have captured Dixmud-. Behind Dix- mude is a direct raid to Dnnlri^ the French port which the Germans want and if they can break through here, the Allies will have to fall back to new positions. The Germans op erations around Dixmude show that the statements that they have been sending troops from the west to Poland. are without foundation. ' Military men here believe Germans, as soon as "they saw they could sot capture Warsaw, despatched troops from that region to the west not imagining the Russian pursuit could be carried out so rapidly. It ra considered certain that with tho'1 enormous forces repuired for an tA fort to get through to the coast, a/ d t* protect their own country agaij st Russian invasion, the Germans ©an Bot throw additional troops into the lines which stretch through nor/ hem France and along the FrancQ-Qt^Tlrin border.

PUN OF DEFENSE NEEDED Country Must Be Put In a Condition of Safety—Plain Duty of the Government, R epresentative G ardner of Massar chusetts perform ed valuable service fo r the country In directing attention to its inadequate defenses and its un preparedness to protect its vital in terests a t home. ' The D nited States, w ith its im m ense rwealth, its big population, its vast ex ten t of territory, its varied resources, ■and its m anifold relations w ith all im portant countries in the world, is prac tically pow erless to defend its own coasts, protect its citizens abroad, or safeguard its interests and its honor against w anton attach. It has a navy th at is clean, strong and ably officered-and m anned, but this navy alone is not able to defend th e U nited S tates and protect its pos sessions and its interests. The navy could not furnish sufficient fighting m en to m ake a decent show ing against any nation In Europe. The people leave to congress and the adm inistration th e details of prep aration. The average citizen knows nothing of such m atters. H e reads of big guns which b atter down forts, of subm arines w hich blow up w arships, of Zeppelins w hich terrorize cities, and of arm ored autom obiles and mo to r trucks which give an arm y mobil ity and wide radius of operation.’ He thinks the United S tates should be as well equipped w ith these im plem ents of w arfare as any other nation, and h e is w illing to pay his share of the cost. It is for th e m ilitary and naval !authorities to outline th e program in detail and for th e adm inistration and congress to estim ate for and appro priate the required money. A t the session beginning in Decem ber the com m ittees on naval and m ili tary affairs should take up this sub ject seriously and thoroughly, w ith a view to preparing bills w hich will put into effect a com prehensive, nation wide, adequate plan of defense. It is not a partisan or sectional question. It is a m atter th at calls for the exer cise of A m erican patriotism , w ith no thought except for the safety and wel fare of the country.

T he w ar tax, w ere it In fact such, would be a patriotic tax. B ut the spectacle of th e country seeking to raise a hundred m illion dollars in additional revenues by m eans of internal taxation, is one th a t caused statesm en and econom ists to issue their challenge and th at should cause the general citizen to reflect upon the outcom e of D em ocrat ic adm inistration of th e revenues of the country.

Thse figures show th at the reduction of revenues, despite the exaction, of ah incom e tax have been sham efully btfiow w hat they w ere before th e Demcicratic so- called com petitive "tariff w eiit into ef fect.

Democratic Administration, Despite Pledges of Economy, Has Been Extravagant. I t does not escape attention th a t despite its pledges of economy the national adm inistration is adding heavily to the general charges of the governm ent. Nobody doubts the pres ident’s sincere w ish to carry along the adm inistration upon a less expensive basis, b ut nobody observes th at he takes any practical steps tow ards lop ping off extravagances. Of course there is m uch to be said for him . He was and still is a novice in m atters of business. F urtherm ore his attention has been concentrated on the tariff, currency, foreign affairs and a hundred other engrossing subjects. H e has as sum ed th a t his general counsels for economy would be taken seriously by departm ent and-bureau chiefs. If he had had longer association w ith prac tical affairs he would know th at it takes m ore than a few neatly turned phrases, even though they m ay be speak earnest w ishes for economy, to change the tendencies of bureau prac tice.

Southern Railway Company. To Shippers and Receivers of Freight in North Carolina: A ttention is called to revised tariffs containg rates for the transportation of freight between points in North Carolina, effective October 13, 1914. These tariffs are issued in accordance with the decision of the Special Rate Commission, dated August 13, 1914. AU freight tariffs of the Southern Rail way Company in conflict with the pro visions of this order have been canceled or revised to conform to the rates, rules and regulations prescribed bv the Special Rate Commission. Special attention is called to the fact th at in the application of this new law, m any im portant changes and new condi tions are brought about, the knowledge of which is essential to every shipper and receiver of freight in North Carolina. Ordinarily there is but one rate between any two points within the State. Under the new law there will he as m any rates between two given points as there are available routes between such points. A new basis for making joint rates w ith Other lines is provided and the shipper has the right to select the shortest avail able route. Some of these routes,, while physically shorter than others, are longer from the standpoint of efficient service, and the movement of freight via these unusual routes will necessarily require more tim e than if sent via more efficient routes. 'Shippers should in all cases insert in the biU of lading the route over which it is desired'that the shipm ent move. If shipm ents are. tendered to A gentsof this Company and destined to a point on its own line, but without specific routing in structions, it will be assumed that it is the desire of the shipper that the ship m ent move over the Southern Railway at its IawfuUy established rate, even though a lower rate m ay be m force via another route.

I tried every thing that I heard of to get. relief, but not until about a year ago when I saw Chamber lain’s Tablets advertised and got a bottle of them , did I find the right treatm ent. I soon began to improve, and since taking a few bottles of them m y digestion is fine.” For sale by all dealers.

My Dear Mr. Stroud:—As I now. a t this beautiful twilight hour, attem pt to w rite to you, m any very pleasant memories come back to me. I recall the delightful and inspiring tim e I had w ith you and your people just a bit more than a, week ago. I wish I could write a personal let ter to each Baraca and each PhiIathea worker in your county, so as to let you people know w hat my being w ith you has already m eant to me. but I cannot; so I m ust content myself-by w riting you, hop ing th at you m ay be so kind as to let the people know how I feel. And, in addit ion to a message of greetings and good wishes, I wish to send yon all a little message of helpfulness from m y heart. A s m ost of you know, the Baraca-Phi- lathea m ovement has been challenged. Men and women are asking why. Many claim, and their contention is well found ed, th at church and. Sunday school work is in danger of becoming, over-organized; but nobody is afraid th a t too m uch: good will be accomplished/ In fact, m en are asking everywhere, w hat good will it do? Now, in my opinion, the suecess of our great movem ent, like th at of all other or ganizations, will be in proportion to the good it accomplishes. , We have a com plete organization, think, and it is becoming stronger every day. We have a band of S tate and Nat ional officers whose hearts are wonder fully devoted to the'cause; m en and wo m en who believe in Christ, who believe in prayer. Yet, neither perfect organiza tion nor devoted officers can, in the high est sense of the term , m ake ; our move m ent a success. Thetorganization is help ing the needy in m any ways, but its chief aim is to lead the unsaved m asses to the Master. to Him who felt great compass ion in his heart as he tooked upon the wandering m ultitude;as sheep w ithout a shepherd. My earnest prayer is th a t all of us, as members of; individual classes, m ay do all th at we can . to realize, this high aim of our worthy and splendid or ganization.

There is more Catarrh in this sec-, tion o the country than all other diseases put together, and until the last few years was supposed to be incurable.

A measure of success has been at tained, although the results- have not been as satisfactory as might- be the case. Hope rested largely- upon continued Proteotion in the shape of Tariff duties Ievid on foreign sugar. But the Democratic Tariff aet, with duties lowered at once and “free sugar” in the near furture, delt a severe blow to the sugar beet industries. "With Ies sened production the country will be more at the mercy of foreign sugar prducers — and the Sngar Tnst at home—than before. ’ The great sugar beet business of - Eur rope was created largely through governmental aid in the form of bounties and by favorable Tariff provisions, In the United States the Democratic administration and Congress have gone as far as- they could to kill off domestic sugar production. With sugar going up by leaps and boundSj the house keeper is not likely to be impressed with the efficacy of Democratic rule in reducing the cost of living.— TroyTimes.

On th e contrary, w hen we have wiped out all those debts and begin to pile up credits abroad in place of th e debits which m ounted so fast and so high before th e w ar dam m ed up o u r tariff’s flood of im ports, gold m ust com e this w ay to pay th e balances against the foreigners. Or, if they haven’t the gold, they m ust send over A m erican securities held by foreign Investors. Or, if they exhaust those, we m ust m ake them loans w ith which to pay for our own products as they buy them . And thus, from having been a debt o r nation to G reat B ritain, France and Germany, w e shall become a creditor nation—perhaps, if the w ar lasts long enough, to all th e world; B ut when this w ork of th e w ar, at present so heavily in favor of the U nited States, is over, w hen the m il lions of Europe’s soldiers have gone back from the battlefields to th e fields of production, then the w ork of Mr. W ilson’s tariff w ill be resum ed against us as persistently and destructively as before. Hurt by New Tariff Law. "H undreds of thousands of dollars have been lost by the m anufacturers and laborers of W est V irginia because of the enactm ent of;, the Underwood- Simm ons tariff law," said sta te Sena to r George T. WTiite of W eston, W. Va., a t the Raleigh. “As a result of th e Iagt year’s ex perience under the operation of the new tariff law,” continued Mr. W hite, “in th e Clarksburg and Fairm ont dis tric ts alone, I am reliably inform ed th at 17 of the m ines of the Consoli dation Coal com pany have been idle for some tim e, and th at the Baltim ore and Ohio Railroad com pany reports a shortage in th eir usual tonnage a t this tim e of year of 30 per cent. In th e W heeling district, in the iron, steel, and:glass industries, there are m ore than six thousand m en idle as a direct result of the operation of the Underwood-Simmons tariff law. "T he Republican party w ill continue to 1 he the one great opponent of De m ocracy in W est Virginia.” Comparison Is Absurd. Theodore Roosevelt is very tiresom e w ith his habitual insistence upon his own resem blance to A braham Lincoln. T here is not a point of resem blance be tw een them , and the m ethods of Roose velt are as unlike those of Lincoln as can possibly be im agined. At no point is the contrast g reater than in the references to th e authority of judicial decisions., Mr. Roosevelt does not like som e judicial decisions, and therefore he would give the general population, a t a sort of tow n m eeting, an oppor tunity to say, hot w hether the de cision w as right o r not, b ut w hether they like it or not. Mr. Lincoln did n o t like the D red Scott decision; but he did not propose to subm it any ques tion of litigation to a popular vote; h e ’ proposed to change th e law of the land, so th at such a decision as th at in the case of Dred Scott would not be repeated. Costly Tariff Experiments, U nder th e Republican ,protective, policy all th e industries of the coun try prospered. W hen this policy has been for a period suspended, as it was in 1893 and again in 1913, business de- m oralizatidn both tim es followed, and this dem oralization of business In each instance brought distress m ore o r less grievous to m ore than a mil lion of wage-earners. The country ihas paid dearly for the experim ent evepy tim e the D em ocratic party, with ’th e free-trade theories, has been ^boosted into power. In 1912 the Dem- iocratic party slipped in through the crack, so- to speak. It would never have got in if th e Republican party had not Cracked—or divided, if the latter word sounds better. T he coun try has had enough. Senator Borah’s W arning. S enator Borah says the present tariff and th e practice of extravagance w ill inevitably lead to th e passage of another revenue m easure. One of the serious additions to th e cost of gov ernm ent is the creation of an inter s ta te trade com m ission th a t w ill cost !the governm ent not less th an a mil lion dollars annually. H e also pointed o u t th at th e cost of running th e gov ernm ent w as three m illions greater than for the average of all th e years o f Republican adm inistration. t Opportunity for the President.

The Democratic papers and cam paign orators declared the war caused the good times— the foreignwars always cause prosperity. The Democrats are in power now and there is a foreign war, but this country is not engaged in it and times are anything but. prosperous, yet our Democratic friends insist, that the war is to blame for all of our troubles. We have always held to the belief that it is a poor rule that will not work both ways. —Ex. ______________ How To G ive Q uinine - To C hildren.

To Shippers and Receivers of Freight in North Carolina: A ttention is called to revised tariffs containg rates for the transportation of freight between points In North Carolina, effective October 13, 1914. These tariffs are issued in accordance w ith the decision of the Special Rate Commission, dated August 13, 1914. All freight tariffs of the Southern Rail way Company in conflict with the pro visions of this order have been canceled or revised to conform to the rates, rules and regulations prescribed by the Special Rate Commission. Special attention is called to the fact that in the application of this new law, many im portant changes and new condi tions are brought about, the knowledge of which is essential to every shipper and receiver of. freight in North Carolina. Ordinarily there-is but one rate between ,any two points within the State. Under the new law there will he as m any rates between two given points as there are available routes between such points. A new basis for making joint rates with other lines is provided and the shipper has the right to select the shortest avail able route; Some of these routes, while physically shorter than others, are longer from the standpoint of efficient service, and the movement of freight via these unusual routes will necessarily require more time than if sent via more efficient routes. Shippers should in all cases insert in the bill of lading the route over which it is desired th at the shipm ent move. If shipm ents are tendered to Agents of this Company and destined to a point on its own line, but without specific routing in structions, it will be assumed th at it is the desire of the shipper th at the ship m ent move over the Southern Railway at its lawfully established rate, even though a-lower rate m ay.be in force via- another route.
