Death Comes After an Himess of Over Five Months—Funeral Ser- vices This Afternoon at 4:30 O’dlock *rom Residence—Was a Baptist Minister and Has Led in Many Revivals During His Life. Rev. Richard George Green died at the home of his son, Mr. T. L. Green, at 124 East Sharpe street yesterday afternoon at 4 o’clock, af- ter an illness of over five months death resulting from dropsy of the heart. Th funeral services were conducted from the residence this af- ternoon at 4:30 o’clock and the in- terment was at Oakwood cemetery, the services being conducted by Rev. C. A. Jenkins, pastor of the First Baptist church of this city, assisted by Rev. Harold Turner, pastor of the Broad Street Methodist church of this city. Rev. Green is survived by his wife and ten children, six boys and four girls, as follows: Messrs. T. L. and J. A. Green of this city, Mr. Jas. A. Green, of Fort Smith, Ark.; H. Clay Green, of St Louis, H. H. Green of Cincinati, J. B. Green, of Rocky Mount, IN ICs irs. i-2 Ge Sherrill of this city, Mrs. E. Hol- comb, of tslkin, Mrs. Mollie M. Day, of Winston-Salem, and Mrs. Thos. A. Bryant, of Cooleemee. Messrs. Jas. A., H. Clay and H. H. Green were unable to get here for the fun- eral on account of the long distance they live from here They had been here this winter to see their father when he was so.wery iil. All the other children were with their fath- er when the end came. Rev. Green was taken very sud- denly ill in last November, and for several weeks his condition was very critical, and all his children were summoned here to be at his bedside, but after several weeks of despair he finafly-rallied and rapid- ly grew better, and was able to be up and around the home of his son. As soon as he became better, his children all left for their respective homes. On last Monday his condi- tion became suddenly worse, and it was soon seen that he could not sur- vive the attack and his children were all notified, and all that were near enough immediately came to nis bedside and were present when the end came. mn Mr. Green was born in Yadkin eounty in the year 1827, and was a sop af Rev. James Green, a na- tive of Buck Shoals. He married fifty years ago the present wife who survives him, who was Miss Rhody Graybeal, a native of Ash county. After his marriage Mr Green was for fifteen years a merchant and post- master at Hamptonville, Yadkin eounty and later taught school. In early life he joined the Baptist church and Tater began studying for the ministry, and was for years a local minister in Yadkin county. About fifteen years ago he moved to this city, and engaged in the minis- try until old age compelled him to give up the work. During his life as minister he has conducted many revival meetings in this and other counties and has done a great work during his years of activity. Since he was compelled to abandon the ministry he has lived with his son, Mr. T. L. Green. Mr Green has always lived in strict accordance to the gospel, which he always took great delight in expounding, and was a man who was liked and-reverenced by all who knew him. He has always since old age set in and up to the time of his attack of sickness, been a most regu- lar church attendant, and no revival meetings were held. but what he was among the first who would speak a word for his Master. His life stands out as a beautiful example of self sacrifice, piety, devotion and trust is his God. Many of his friends gathered this afternoon to pay their last respects to him and the bereaved family have the deeppst sympathy of the entire community in their bereavment. The pall bearers “were Messrs. i KS Lazenby, J. H. Wilson, H. V. Furches, R. V. Tharpe, J. A. Con- ner and Sig Wallace. — aro" A horse driven by Mr. W. H.

The friend imated that he would lose no time in ¢ these marvels with his own eres, The man did not expect this, as ais Louse Was somewhat distant, so he went home and told his wife that he had got caught at last and that tomor- row the man would arrive and he would be disgraced. “Never mind,” said the spouse. “Leave that to me. It will be all right, only you must keep out of sight.” Next t mornin « the visitor arrived and, being met by the mistress, asked where her husband was. “He has gone to Pekin,” “When will he be back?” “In eight or nine days.” “Why, how can he be so quick?” “He has gone off on our fast bullock and so can do it easily.” “IT hear you have also a wonderful fowl,” said the visitor. And, behold, as he was speaking a small cock crew. “That's it,” said the wife. “He crows at the beginning of each watch and also when a visitor arrives.” “I would also like to see the learned dog,” he said. “Ah,” said she, “I 1m sorry; but, you gee, We are very poor, and so he keeps a school in the city.’—Scrap Book. she replied.

The season for coughs and colds is now at hand and too much care can- not be used to protect the children. A child is much more likely to con- tract diphtheria or scarlet fever when he has a cold. The quicker you cure his cold the less the risk, Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy is the sole reliance of many mothers, and few of those who have tried it are willing to use any other. Mrs. F. F. Starcher, of Ripley, W. Va., says: “Y have never used anything other than Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy for my children, and it has always given good satisfaction.’’ This rem- edy contains no opium or other nar- cotic and may be given as confident- ly to a child as to an adult.

Elizabeth City March 31—Three dry kilns, containing nearly a mil- lion feet of lumber, and a consider- able amount of lumber on the yards of the Foreman-Blades Company, on Knobb’s creek, and just outside the corporate limits were swept away by fire today at noon. The loss is estimated at between $15,000 and $20,000, with insurance of $10,000. The firemen worked under great dis- advantages, having to pump water from the creek, but by heroic work saved thousands of dollars in lum- ber on the yard. -_——_++@>-.—____ Stiff Neck . Stiff neck is caused by rheumatism of the muscles of the neck. It is usually confined to one side, or to the back of the neck and one side While it is often quite painful, quick relief may be had by applying Cham- berlain’s Liniment. Not one case of rheumatism in ten requires internal treatment. Whea there is no fever and no swelling as in niuscular and chronic rheumatism, Chamberlain’s Liniment will accomplish more than it, and this is what I found.” picnic once got one raw: egg mixed up with the cold boiled ones and did | not know how to detect it without | breaking them all. gency.

He Loved Animals. | Of Blackmore, the novelist, an old | friend said that his kindness to ani- | mals and birds was near!y divine. | “Dogs loved him; pigeons followed | him about. A blackbird built in a hole in his garden well one year, and he planked the well over lest the young ones, when they became ven- turesome, should be drowned. From the planks over the water he had a sort of ladder constructed for them to escape, which they all did and repaid him by bountifully devouring his strawberries. There is a picture of himself as a vine dresser in one of his Devonshire tales, ‘Christo- ' well.” His love for women and girls, especially girls, was as great as Mr. Ruskin’s, but less outspoken, though evident in his books. There is al- ways a Lorna or a Dariel as sweet as | English air can make her. He was | shy and retiring and not given to tongue.” Beecher’s Fee. On one occasion when Henry Ward Beecher was on a lecturing tour Major Pond, his manager, was sitting beside him in the railway car. Suddenly the preacher slapped his hand on the little watch pocket of his trousers and drew forth a small envelope. For a moment he looked at it in surprise, then opened it and smiled. Presently he turned to his companion. “Major,” said he, “I married a great railroad magnate a few months | ago, and as I was taking leave of him he handed me an envelope, which I slipped in my pocket un- opened. That was the last I thought of it until today. Just now I opened The major took the envelope. Within it were five $1,000 bills. Test of an Egg.

Every farmer is urg ed to attend one of these meetings and to bring along 40 or 50 ears of his seed corn. There will be ex- perts from the department of agri- Culture present to show you which ears are the best suited for planting, and you will also be told how to Srow seed corn in the field and how to select the ears in the field. This is all very important and we hope the farmers will not be too busy to attend his meeting. Jt will begin at 10 o’clock, and the talks will be in the afternoon. Many farmers failed to select corn in the field. Iast year, and while it might be advisable to purchase seeé for this year, we would advise that you bring from Your crib the ears we request above. We want to urge the importance of this matter. You can well aiford to SiVe one day to this important subject.

Bad Guesses Made by Men Unskilled In Horseflesh. Many people, even among those whe frequently make use of horses, have little idea what an ordinary horse weighs and would have much difficulty 1,500 pounds. no such difficulty with a man and prob- ably be able to guess, especially if they were good Yankees, within ten or twen- ty pounds of his weight. The govern- ments of Europe have long been pur- chasing and weighing horses for the from carriage or draft employment toa the various branches of cavalry and artillery. assigned according to weight. Tho French military authorities find that an ordinary light carriage or riding horse, such as in the United States would be called a “good little buggy horse,” weighs from 300 to 400 kilo- grams—say from 800 to 900 pounds. Such horses as these are assigned to the Nght cavalry corps. The next grade above, which in civil life passes as a “coupe horse,” or carriage horse of medium weight, ranges in weight up to 480 kilograms, about 1,050 pounds. This horse goes to help mount the cavalry of the line. Next come the fashionable “coach horses” of persons of luxury, which weigh from 500 to 580 kilograms, or from 1,000 to nearly 1,800 pounds. These horses go to serve the purpose of drill for the cavalry belonging to the reserve military forces. Above these there are still two grades of heavy horses. The first are those used for ordinary draft purposes and are commonly found drawing the omni- buses of Paris where such vehicles are still In use. These weigh from 1,100 to 1,500 pounds. The heaviest horses are the Clydesdales and Per- cherons, which are oxen in size and strength and which weigh from 600 to 800 and sometimes even up to 900 kilo- grams—that is, from 1,300 up to near- ly 2,000 pounds. None of these Per- cherons of the heaviest weight are used in the military service, but some of the lighter ones are employed for draft and artillery purposes.—Buffale Commercial. —_—_——— to guess whether a given animal stand- : ing before their eyes weighed 500 or Yet they would have military service and transferring them |; The animals are ordinarily | | That Desert —— . —— — _ _ _ . .

Atlanta, Ga., April 2.—‘‘When farmers of the South and the business men of the South say the word, funds Whl be immediately available In sufficient volume to for- ever place the great industry of cot- ton production ‘upon a stable foun- dation, free from the chance fluctu- aitons of the market, relieved of the attacks of manipulators and leaving the gingantic crop monopoly of this section to respoffa, unembrarassed and restricted, to the legitimate laws of supply and demand. The result should mean €6 The South an annual: cash saving Tanging from $150,000,~ 000 to $250,000,000.” In these plain terms Danicl J. Sully, the man who drove cotton to its highest nYarket price since the civil war, today outlined the pur- poses of hfs visit to Atlanta and the South. Continuing, Mr. Sully said his plan contempfated, “the creation of an !‘mpregnable system which shall do away with the annual necessity of the farmer sacrificing of bales of cotton for pressing debt, congesting- the market, hammering down prices, upseting thé reign of supply and de- mand afd losing to this section the tremendous sums that are its due in reurn for the one crop indispensable to th. neéds of civilization.

The company would be paid a oe fee for each bale of cotton Nanged and in this way, Mr. Sully Usures, a fair profit will be realized oo fe investment. -—————~+@>-——_—_—- A Lucky Pamiily, The Kitchi’ Brothers surely are * luck¥ set.

Thevloss is about $1,500 with $1,260 insurance. alarm was turned into the fire de- partment about 5:30 o’clock, from Fourth street, and the fire depart- ment responded promptly, but too late to do anything but save the buildings near this one, which were threatened by fire. The fire oc- curred just after a slight fall of rain, the wind having raised after the rain, ~fanning the blazes, and en- dangering other property very much. It was impossible for the occupants of the house to save much of their furnishing. The loss is es- tiamted at about $1,500 with about $1,200 insurance, carried in the At- lantic Fire Insurance Co. at Raleigh represented by the Statesville Realty and Investment Company in this city. The fire was discovered by Mr. H. C. Cook, janitor at the court house, who lives on Fourth street, just be-[ yond the railroad. Mr. Cook stated [ that he was out in his yard at about 4:30 o'clock his morning and there was no fire. but about 5 o’clock he went out again and could see the fire burning in th garret of the house through the window in the gabel. He immediately run to a neighbor’s house, and after some delay finally got the occupants awakened and used their phone, calling the fire de- partment. e A ‘possum was in a box in the rear of the burning building, and the fire was getting close to it, when some one turned it loose, and one of the fire lad@ies said “‘Brer Possum” made double quick time in going for tall uncut. e —___+-+@>e——_————- COLORED WOMAN DEAD. al She Was Well Resp¢cted, and Leaves a Husband and Ten Children.

Attorney Geteral Wickersham Sum- mons Fuller, Seaw®il, Timberlake to Washington, but He Left for New York and Did not Keep His Appojatment with Them—Says Taft Has Done Fifty-S¢ven Varie- ties of Taf%® About the Judgeship. The Judgship Fight is Wearing on the Nerves of the N. C. Colony in Washingto®—A New Candidate in the Field—Stephen Douglas’ Son a Subject of Query. Washington, April 2.—Therg were no developments in the North Caro- lina judgeship contest at the White House today, but the arrival here of Frank Fuller, H. F. Seawell and ex-Judge Timberlake in response to telegraphic summons from Attorney General Wickersham has set North Carolina political tongues to wag- ging. The attorney general wired to the three candidates to show up in Wasb ington today, but he did not keep his engagement, having been called to New York. He is expected to return tomorrow morning, and the candi- dates will remain over until his ar- rival. There is much speculation here as to whether Mr. Taft asked the can- didates to come to Washington or Sherrill, | whether the attorney general acted on his own iniative. The whole situation is a puzzling one and as a result judgeship candidates and their hoomers arg more befuddled than at any state of the contest. Accord- ing to North Carolinians who have visited the White House, Mr. Taft has done fifty-seven varieties of talk- ing about this appointment. One minute it is Clark, another minute it is Brown or Settle, and then it is a Democrat ora near-Democrat and again it is a Republican._ _The summons of Seawell and the unexplainable things. Mr. Taft has said, not Once, but 2 half dozen times that he would fever appoint The}/a man who h&d espoused Populism to the Federal. bench, and he has made this statement in connection with the candidacy of Seawell. It was only yesterday that Mr. Taft re- peated to a distinguisied North Carolinian hat he would not consid- er a former Populist for the judge- ship. Under fliese circumstances it is hardly possible that Mr. Clark had knowledige of the summons fo~ Sea- well and Timberlake to come to Washington. We certainly would not desire to put them to the need- less expense-of coming to Washing- ton if they havg been eliminated from considéfation . No Carolinian has talked with the president since W. W. Clark was subjected to the personal inspection test, and “consequently the White House verdict as to the New Bern man remains a ~sécret. Only the president and the attorney-general! know, but it does not look good for Mr. CTark. ahaa The fact that the attorney general sent for these candidates ofter talking with Mr. “Clark and the pres- idegt is surely an optimistic omen. The judgeship fight is wearing on the nerves of the Carolina colony here. They are getting mighty tired of it and are Sincerely hoping that every day will be the last of the contest. s There ts a new candidate in the field,~@X-Judge Thomas H.

This caused Mr. Engleburt to fall and, as luck would have it, several dogs ran out fro mthe neighboring house and attacked the supposed rabid dog, fortunately leaving Mr. Engleburi free to pursue a_ hasty exit for a neighboring house, where he took shelter from the dog, which was fighting the other dogs, having bitten them all.

Definition of a Gentleman. From an exchange, we take the | following gentleman: “In England the term is given a specific or technical meaning as ap- plicable to those of noble birth, but even there many men have been broad enough to assert that the right of others than those favored by cir- cumstances o' birth to this term. As far back as Geoffrey Chaucer character and conduct were regard- ed as the true basis for ascribing the term gentleman, and Tennyson, Eng- land’s loved laureate, himself ele- vated to the peerage by his queen for his merits as man and literateur. declared that “Kind hearts are more than cornets and simple faith than Norman blood.” And yet’ there are those in this democratic country where rank is not recognized and titles of nobility are forbidden, who show a tendency at times to regard the accident of birth or the fortuit- ous inheritance of successful ac quirement of wealth as being the criterion of the gentleman. ‘the term is too good and useful to »be ebused, and yet i¥ the definition of Thackeray, that prince os Jenglisn novelits and. culfured and kindly gentleman himself, is to be accept- ed, how few of us in this day and generation mty plume _ ourselves being a gentleman and suttain the claim with justice. Thackeray says and we commend his definition to: all: “What is it to be a gentlemtn? It is to htve lofty aims, to lead a pure life, to keep your honor virgin, to have the esteem of your fellow citi- zens, and the love of your fireside; to suffer evil with constancy: and through good or evil mafntain truth always. Show me the happy man whose life exhibits these quali- ties and him we will salute as a gen- tleman, whatever his rank may be.’ i —— I rn An Ideal Cough Medicine. “As an ideal cough medicine I re- gard Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy fin a class by itself,’ says Dr. R.

W. Saleeby: “There are those who run no risk, because the drug has no action upon them tt all; there are those who are predestined to fall.. These last include many of the most valuable members of the community, the most original, ver- satile, individual, inventive, creative —people who have points of view, parents of idets, pottential poets, musicians, enthusiasts, seers—the salt of the earth, the makers of pro- gress, the nurotic people who do the pioneer work of the world.’’ Some men can h€"Témperate in the use of alcohol; Otiers must be total absain- ers.—Reév.

At first there were few persons here abouts but thought Mrs. Sampson was guilty of the crime charged, but at present there se2ms to be few Wayne county who think she had anything to do with the death of her husband. IIarry Sampson was shot on November 1 last at the farm of his wife’s parents, three miles from the town of Macedon. The house was arranged for two fam- ilies and he and his wife oceupied the west wing. The apartment his father-in-law were on op- posite side of the hous2. At 7:30 o’clock on the morning of the tragedy there was a quarrel be- tween Hlarry Sampson and his wife over a letter which Mrs. Sampson had received from a Fairport man. Mr, Allyn the girl’; father, tried to adjust mat- fers: but Sampson declared that he would leave his wife. — ‘I’d rather shoot myself than live with her,’’ h2 said, aeeording to Mr- Allyn’s story. Twenty minutes later he ran ‘nto the cast wing witn blood streaming from a bullet wound in his chest and fell dead at the f2et of his mother-in-law. There were no smoke stains or powder marks on his breast or on either his inner er outer shirt. Georgia Sampson ran into the room a moment later after he fell. She said she was ir an upper room when she heard = shot. ’ For four days the theory of sui- cide based on Sampson’s words to Mr. Allyn was believed. Then the SamPson family heard about the absence of smoke stains and of smoke stains and powder burns. They learned that the gun was not thrown on the floor as would probably have been the case if it were suicide, but was placed car2- fully in a corner and that Samp- son held a package of cheese in his hand as he fell dying. As a result of the inquest Mrs- Sampson was arrested and the grand jury found an_ indictmeiit against her charging murder in the first degree.

Before the opportunity came they disap- peared. Vidito was so insistent that he was telling the truth that Deteec- tives Farrell and Ryan made a search under a marble slab of the sink finding bits of the envelopes that had contained the rings. The envelopes showed they had been gnawed by rats, and as ther, was tn a hole in the wall near the sink the detectivs decided to in- vestigate further. They got a la- borer, who tore out a portion of the wall, and several feet from th¥ hole they found the rings in a re- eess in the wall.

Washington, D. C-, April 8— For North Carolina local rains to- night and Friday. Fletcherizing for Philanthrop’s Sake Fletcherism—that is, unwear- ing foodchewing, has sudtenly got out of the fad class and rank ed itself with practical financial aod philantropie enterprises, for the announcement is out that the Christian Endeavor Society which has aboué two million members in the Enited States, is adopting it as a meansof saving money for the Society’s work. Any family can save a dollar @ week by adopting the Fletcher manner Christern Endevor fam- ilies have already promised to do and about a millfon are yet to be heard from. But even a quar ter of a million dollars per weak amonts to thirteen million a year, which is more than all the religious societies in the Jand see in the course cf @ year, aud if thr remaining familes take up Fletcherism—and it the establisb ed custom of the Society for ali its members to pull together, the fund should exceed fifty million ayear. This would be enough to put a well-paid, high moral sluet on to every common sinner in the Coited States, several on every monopolist, tained-money millionairr and halfa dozen ou every member of Congress. Sav ing by cutting down table expen ses is not a new idca; countless people have tried it yet never been able to show the cash that was saved, bnt the Endeavore;§ are clever enough to corral th® the dollars as fast as they are saved. ——————~+@>—__ An Ideal Cough Medicine. “As an ideal cough medicine I re- gard Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy in a class by itself,” says Dr. R.

He took her out and showed her the footprints, asking her if they were not hers- She immediately confessed that ae did said about what they were» and that she had set {. the barn on fire, and that her old- er sister had mad her do it, threatening to do her harm if she did not. Mr Blaylock took her into eustody, and immediately be- gan searching for the older girl who was found last night about 11 o’clock, at the home of her Naney Hall, and taken into custody, and both were given the preliminary hearing this morning and brought here to jail.

Atlantic City, X. J., April &— After ten months of fruitless search for Clara Coutler. Mr. and Mrs- Gorge Coulter of MeKee City: parents of the missing girl appealed to the police today to find her Search of the country immedi ately following her disapp2aranea led only to the discovery that the girl had appealed to a farmer to drive her to Cardiff. There she took a train for Philadelphia. From that day her whereabouts has been unknown. =o The New Hats, The designer, or architect, of the ladies hats this season should if the hats are used as they can be, receive a royalty on evory one sold, as long as the style con- tinues. First style we call the cap. Be sides a head covering it’s th correct size and shape for cap- ping wheat shocks; or it ean be used for a calf shed. The hat is about the size of a 1200-pound sea turtle’s shell. If two ladies enter the same street car they will be required to take seats in front of the ear, as otherwis2 there will not be room to pass them. The second style we notice 1s the waste basket style they fit any head» coming down to the shoulders; can be pulled over the head as you would a meal sack; trim them to suit your respective tastes. When not on the head these can be used for carrying fruit from the orchard, eggs from the barn. corn to the hogs, chips, cotton seed .out to the field, is also fine and useful at tater dig- ging time to load the wagon is nice to set in the corner to keep the shovel. poker and tongs in. Every female in the country should have one of these; in the city they can be used for market baskets, coal scuttles, kennels for poodle dogs, waste baskets and the like. The third style, for want of an official name. we eall the bak> pan. Outside of their utility as head gear they are the correct shape for ladies’ work baskets; for setting hens and geese they are dandies as they hold 15 to 18 eggs: with plenty of s2a room left for the hen or goose are nice for baking the Xmas cake. A fellow who lives up the Statesville road that has never read about Ananias says that his best girl bought a roll of erepe paper and some headed tacks,’ then took a chopping bow] -tarned it upside down and tacking the paper around it put it on her head and said she was. ready: for Easter. If have any "doubt abot the tratir of what we have said. call and see the hats.—Charlott2 Peo- ple ’s- Paper. : Cpponents of Measure in Legisla- RALPH.SLOAN, - - City Editor. | ‘ SO ao ay JI i s O e e .

By C. R. Hudson. Perhaps there is no one subject | related to farming that is of greater importance to the farmer than the? improvement of his general crop by seed selection and breeding. The work is not only intensely interesting but it usually results in awakening a keener interest in all phases of crop production, including the prepa- ration of the soil for the seed-bed. the cultivation of the growing plant, fertilization, and even the marketing of the products. Asa rule it costs no more to cultivate a crop grown from good seed from improved varieties than it does to cultivate a crop that will produce scrub plants. The orig- ntors and growers of improved varie- ties not only have the satisfaction ot having made the growing of these crops more profitable by reason of improved quality and increased yields, thus benefiting every one in- terested in their production and con- sumption, but they usually reap, also. an additional financial reward from the sale of the seed or plants of their improved varieties. Higher priced lands call for larger yields of better quality in order to make the interest on the money in- Furthermore, improved varieties are stronger constitutional- a 4 <i Ss fects of disease. In fact some varie- They sim ply have the vigor to resist them.

Good farming helps to make | good citizens, and good citizens help in the making of good farmers. Art and Science of Breeding. The work of producing better plants is both an art and_ science. The science of breeding includes the work of the investigator in deter- mining by means of experiment the principles relating to the different problems of breeding. The work of the scientific investigator may not in itself be profitable, yet it may result in valuable additions to the knowl- edge of the subject. The work of the investigator is the discovery of the principles of brfeeding. These the practical breeder may not have the training, the time, the opportuniiy, or the means to discover. The art of breeding is the work of the growers who by long experience with the crop from a commercial standpoint be- come accurate judges of the value of plants for cultivation and economic propagation. Often, also, it em- braces the principles discovered by the scientific investigator or breeder. Qualifications of the Breeder. Success in the improvement of farm crops depends to a great ex- tent on some important qualifica- tions of the breeder. He must have a natural liking for his work and the plants which he is improving. The experience gained by constant asso- crops with which the breeder is interested is the most im- portant factor involved in the pro- duction of new or improved varieties. It is this experience that makes it possible for the breeder to pick out the best plants almost intuitively, al- though in many cases it is not possi- ble to give exact reasons for the se- distribution oi f Ss y ; Be) SBA which ( t \ S 1 t e a Ss t t Ss t t t farmer who has a real interest in th. subject by the study of plants from all possible sources of knowledge. Adaptation to Environment. The adaptation of the varieties cf | crops to the conditions of soil and | climate where they are grown is one | of the most important fields for the breeder. Farmers often suffer | great loss by paying high prices for i realiy good seed but which are not adapted to their local conditions. | There is a growing demand for the production of varieties suitable to the soil and climate of the where they are grown. adapti sue Smith, ' ey 4 ia higher prices 5 Varieties coni a ake i heeged, fought dt newed vigor she The brute cut of met by an automobile party held up and forced to give up their prisoner.

The season for coughs and colds is vow at hand and too much care can- not be used to protect the children. A child is much more likely to con- tract diphtheria or scarlet fever when he has a coid. The quicker you cure his cold the less the risk. Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy is the sole reliance of many mothers, and few of those who have tried it are willing to use any other. Mrs. F. F.

In growing of these good varieties we need to follow the best known methods of farming embracing pro- per preparation of the seed-bed, fer- tilization and cultivation, because these fifhgs help to make possible the highest types of plants. Of course seed for planting should be kept perfectly dry and free from in- sects. Summary. Probably it will be interesting to note as follows some of the points to be observed in improving corn. 1. By all means a seed patch and an isolated one if possible. 2. Always select in the fields so you will know whether the good qualities are fixed or accidental and so that you may get the type of stalk desired. 3. For general purposes perhaps two cars per stalk is best, but each seed grower will select according to his ideal. 4. Stalks should not he too high} or too round and small, but shouid be flafish, strong and stocky. 5. Vigorous stalks stand upright and have large broad, grecn leaves. 6. A medium sized stalk is better than either extreme. 7. ‘It is best to have ears neither too high nor too low on the staik. S. Probably the most important thing about the ears is its weigh, but there are several things that help to determing the-weight. 9. Mediumly long ears will yield more corn than mediumly short ears. 10. The ears should be compact, filling out well over the ends, and with rows close together. 11. Color of cob nothing except to indicate Breed to one color. [%. The grains should be blocky and have large germs, tlius indicat- ing high breeding value and vigorous germination. ay ++ _____- An Ideal Cough Medicine. “As an ideal cough medicine I re- gard Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy fn a class by itself,’”’ says Dr. R.

A benial county institute of at least two weeks in each coun- ‘ty, conducted by a competent and experienced male teacher, assisted in the primary and -intermediate work by a competent and experi- enced woman teacher. These teachers will be selected aceord- ing to the law, by the state depart- ment of education, and will proba- bly be required to attend a confer- ence of institute conductors with the state superintendent annually, therefore beginning the institute work. At this conference a defi- nite and uniform plan of institute work for the summer will be dis- cusseqd and arranged. Bulletins containing outlines of work and directions to teachers will be is- | | } 4 ‘ , \ | education and placed in the hands of all teactiers attending the in-- stitutes for their direction and as- sistance. The work of the county ‘institutes will be so arranged as. to prevent duplication and repeti- tion of work by teachers attending from year to year. 2. To have in every eounty an active teacher’s association, doing. a definite and specific work, pursuing carefully arranged courses of professional ’ reading directed by the county superintendent, and aided by bul- letins, programs, ete., issued and distributed from the State Depart- ment of Education. This work will be correlated, as far as possi- ble, with the work of the county institute, and with the work of the State Normal schools. 3. Through the teachers’ insti- tutes and the teachers’ associa- tions, aided by the State Depart- ment of Edueation with its profes- sional bulletins, it is hoped to arrange ang carry out successfully 2 progressive and continuous course of home study for the pro- fessional training and i mprove- ment of the rank and file of the country teachers.

As was stated in yesterday af- ternoon’s paper the county com- missions were in session to decide the location of the new jail. As yet no definite steps have been taken and it begins to look as if all those Who champion the park question, are to lose out. At the meeting yesterday, several of the citizens laid a very nice proposi- tion before the board, stating that half the cost of the new lot would be raiséd and given the county. board finally decided that the site would not be changed unless the the lot was given the county free of cost. and furthermore that the members of the Lutheran church would become reeonciled and al- low the >_jail placed on the lot, which adjoins the si SES church property z It is hardly probable that the lot will be given the county by the citizens, and therfore it looks as if the cause is doomed. The idea of the board ang a lot of the citizens is to locate the new jail on the eor- ner of Court and Meeting strket, between the old jail and Meeting street, Contractor Jones announces that material will begin to -arrive in a few days and work will be pushed to a finish.

When the police arrived, Mr. Gnegory secured a light, and a diligent search was made, but the person was not found, Mr. Greg- ory states that, as best he could tell, the intruder was about 18 or 19 years old, and wore short pants, but it could not be discovered whether he was white or black. Mrs. Gregory was at home with the children and the cook, and the person was heard to go to each door and try to getin. The phone was out of order, and Mrs. Greg- ory was required to go to a neigh- bors house to notify the officers. Mr.Gregory has in his possession 3 cartridges which failed to explode when the gun was snapped, and only this saved the life of the in- truder, as Mr. Gregory was very close upon him.

Not long ago the lawyer invit- ed three old cronies to visit his house, and while away an even- ing with the company of their Pipes in honor of the oecasion the host produced his finest tobaeco and Imvited his friends to help themselves. The pipes were light- ed, and with the first puffs of smoke came an odor too horrible to’ be deseribed. The wife of the distinguished member of the bar, who had been up stairs insti- tuted a search for burning rags in the course of which she entered the room where the smoking was In progress. “Do you smell that terrible stench?’’ she asked, addressing her husband. *“Yes, aswered the chorus of three-white faced visitors, laying aside their pipes. But her spouse smoked calmly on in evident en- joyment, and suggested that, al- though he didn’t smell anything unusual, perhaps the cook was burning fat in the kitchen range. It was not long however, before the odor was traced to the tobac- co smoked by the. host and his: three guests. “Did you get that tobacco out of the box on the library table?’’ asked the lawyer’s wife. ““Ves.”? ‘‘Well, that’s too bad. I thought that box was empty, and I’ve been throwing waste bird seed in there every time I clean Bobby’s cage.

Believes in Divine Healing. | Richmond, Va.. April 9.— After] IS months of Wie ‘ss. during which time he suffered terribly, John W. Doherty. pastor of the Apostohe Chureh, in Fulton. who in divine tev. has beheved implicitly healing for years, has at lest sue eumbed to the pangs of disease. putting his beliefs behind him, has called physicians to treat him. Never before had the minister taken medicine or allowed a pny- sician to treat him. Pastor Doherty came into prominence some years ago when a member of his congregation had two children suffering with dyph- theria. The pastor would not al tow the man to call in a physician, ang one of the children died. The father still remained firm in hig faith, and the other child died. Pastor Doherty was censured for his persistence in persuading the father not to have a physician and thus probably save the lives of his children. He next startled the entire city by refusing to bury 4 dead body: saying that the Bibli- cel injunction was plain to “‘let the dead bury the dead.’’ Later he refused to perform a marriage ceremony for his own daughter, saving that marriages were made in heaven and not on earth, and that he would not usurp the pow- ers of the living God. ——__ ++ SUNBEAMS.

The man whose career means deeds, results—the man who does things—is not afraid to risk mis- takes. He of whom it ean be said: ‘He has never made a serious er- ror of judgment—his record is flawless,’’ will be found to be one who has done little or nothing worth while. He is so cautious in contemplating a move that he hardly dares to make it before its possible effect_has been minimized or lost. Guarding himself against the reproach of public failures, he denies himself the satisfaction of work well done. It is his habit to study a sitiation until the time for action is passed. He shrinks from responsibilities, as he fears criticism. © He is swayed by the supercaution that goes with a fu- tile mediocrity. The other type of man investi- gates, decides and does. Criticism and the chance of ridicule are ig- noréd by him. Between action and hesitation he chooses action every time. When it comes to taking a chance or waiting to see what will happen he takes the chanee. He would rather risk a mistake than do nothing. He is willing to listen to both sides and then acts on his own judgment, welcoming the responsibility. If he meets with failure he does the I best thing possible to amend it. If he is successful he gathers new hopes in dealing with the next problem. spirit—Exchange, ———~<+a>-o—__.

The season for coughs and colds is now at hand and too much care can- not be used to protect fhe children. A child is much more likely to con- tract diphfHierla or scarlet fever when he has a cold. The quicker you cure his cold the less the risk, Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy is the sole reliance of many mothers, and few of those who have tried it are willing to use any other. Mrs. F. F. Starcher, of Ripley, W.

Its financial imstitu- tions have demonstrated their cea- pacity to endure a strain.

The sobering process has gone far in advance of court conclusions and has ealled a halt upon ill-calculat- ed legislation. ‘Meanwhile Southern factories have been building almost regard- less of the temporary cheek on manufacturing enterprise. South- ern manufacturing is less hamper- ed by price agreements, and there- fore all the freer to put its quota- tions at a level which will bring business. ‘Finally, Southern agriculture is on a securer financial founda- tion than ever before. still comparatively few farmers are rich, but there are many who are well to do.

The inspection of the Iredell| Blues by the United States Inspec- | tor A. H. Huguet and Col. Gard- ner of Shelby, took place last evening on the public square in the city. The attendance was very good, 39 privates and three officers out of 42 privates and three officers being present. The absent members were Sergeants Thos. White of Lenoir and Rail of Gafiney, S. C., and Private Hill Knight of Taylorsville. The inspectors found every- thing in splendid condition with the company. The uniforms and other equipments were all passed upon as being in splendid condi- tion. The drilling done by the company, although several of the members are yet very green, was beyond expectation, and Capt. J. E. Deitz was well pleased with the entire company. Captain Huguet was much surprised with the expert manner in which the’ buglers of the company did their work. After the inspection he eongratulated Capt. Deitz upon having such accomplished buglers, saying they were the best he had ever seen as they had such strong wind, and produced such splendid tones on the bugle. Capt. Huguet and Col. Gardner left on No. 11 this morning for Hickory where they will inspect the company at that town, and go to Asheville tomorrow to inspect the company at that city. Statesville should be very proud of the compliments heaped upon the home company by these offi- eers. {rs —_—— pelled to Take to a Tree. Pottstown, Pa., April 13.—A big red Easter hat of the very ex- tremist mode that swooped down over her head in regulation bee- hive style, worn by a woman who formed one of a party of Philadel- phia autmobilists, proved too gveat a temptation for a ferocious bull over near Knauertown, Ches-| ter county, today. It is a pictures que section, and the romantic sense of one of the women was aroused when she suggested that they go hunting for trail arbutus and other wild flowers. It found ready acquiescence by the others, and the automobile was deserted while off they hunting went. In their enthusiasm, the other automobilists got separated from the prime mover of the flower ex- pedition, and when an hour pass- ed without any signs of her, they went on a search. After many wandefings their surprise was as great as their joy to behold her in the forks of an apple tree, while a short distance away a bull was calmly blowing. He was driven off and then the fair one came down from the tree. She explained that the bovine, maddened by her gorgeous hat had charged on her and that she quickly jumped on a fence and in that way climbed in the nearby tree. But her hat had become en- tangled in the limbs and was a sorry wreck.‘‘ For Heaven’s sake don't tell any one around here our Wames>’ the heroine begged of her companions, and none of them did. . —_—_~+ 2 There is a nobility in the world of manners.—Schiller. *x * * Mr. Loeb seems to like not be- ing the goat.

Just a week ago we wrote our weekly letter in which for reasons described we predicted before two weeks cotton would reach 10c. Have we waited that long to see these figures paid? When look in -any way 11 a con- servative way at natural re- sults based upon facts, we can generally approximate to the re- sult of predictions. It is useless to go over the grounds so fre- frequently described by giving the cause of this advance, but it is a natural advance caused by, as frequently stated, curtailment, tariff rivision, reported bad weath er in the principal cotton raising states and an increase in the values of the manufactured stuff. Now we think that 10c¢ on the better grades is all that at present can be realized and don’t let our holders of cotton expect as much for the lower and middle grades as he gets for the best grades. Don’t hold for 10e all your cotton when probably one half is stained. tinged or damaged. We look for a break in the mar- ket based upon the reasonable idea that 10e cotton will increase receipts So as to justify spinners in laying in a supply and who own yarns and ean afford to speculate cn holding their yarns instead of buying cotton that is not at pres- ent prices, remunerative. Re- member our predictions, friends, that our 10e cotton has arrived. e a Buyer of Whiskey Guilty as Seller Judge James E. Boyd, of the federal court, has once or twice expressed himself strongly in favor of the idea that the man why buys whiskey from an alleged seller thereof is as guilty as the seller; and in the case of Jonas Allen, negro hotel porter at Dob- son, Surry county, tried last week for retailing, the judge again an- nounced his support of the idea and declared that in the future he will hold a witness who testifies that he has bought whiskey from another. The effect of his ruling will be that mighty few people will testify, and eannot be forced to testify, on the ground that it would tend to incriminate them- selves. Judge Boyd, in this con- nection, frequently expresses con- tempt for white men who buy whiskey from negroes to get them into trouble. In the Allen ease in particular he did this, for while the negro, who came clear, could show a pretty good character, three white men who appeared against him were given bad char- acters, it being testimony that they had served time, and aban- doned their families, and one of them had been told by the late Judge Dick never to appear in his court as a witness. —_——~+<+-o—_—— A MUSIC TREAT. we Miss Vifginia Maloney to Give a Recital Next Monday Even- ing A musie treat, to which the pub- lic is cordially invited, will be given on next Monday evening at 8 o’clock, at the Shearer music hall, by Miss Virginia Maloney, a student of the Statesville Female college.

Chieago, April 12—An advance abstract of statistics of American railways for the year ended June 30, 1908, as compiled by the bu- reau of railway news and statis- tics, was made public here today. The report says: : “Instead of a decrease of only $164,464.94] in gross earnings as the result of the “temporary finan- cial depression’ of 1907-08, as set forth in the preliminary income report of the Interstate Com- merce Commission for the year ended June 30, 1908, the panic of 1907 resulted ina loss of more than $330,000,000. This state- ment is based on a table giving the earnings for the 12 months ending November 30, 1908, when the full effect of the business de- pression became evident, with the preceding 12. This avoids the error of including. the fattest months in railway history, in the same year. with the lean months that followed them. ‘In the same way, the loss in net earnings is shown to have been $120,540,460, instead of $111,051,000, as given in the com- mission’s statement- “The 2-cent passenger fare leg- islation caused a loss of $25,000.- 000 in gross earnings, although more carried. This is accounted for by a redue- tion in average receipts per pas- senger mile on 94 per cent. of the mileage from 2.014 cents in 1907 to 1,932 in 1908. “The heavy loss in net earnings is partly accounted for by the ex- penditure of approximately $32.- 000,000, necessitated by arbitrary innovations in accounting meth- ods and requirements"in regard to the hours and conditions of la- bor of certain classes of em- ployes.”? : ——_—~-< a WILD MAN REFUSES WHISKY | passengers were But Accepts Cigar From Explor- er, Who Finds Him. Danville, Pa., April 12.—While Herber L. DeWitt, of Danville, an extra operator of the Pennsylva- nia Railroad, was exploring the West Nanticocke Mountain Sun- day afternoon he discovered the wild man reports of whose ap- pearance have been calculated from time to time, but who has generally been regarded as a myth. ae ee DeWitt was ascending the last elevation that leads to the summit when he beheld an apparition that startled him. Standing before before him was a human figure at least seven feet in height, clad in rags and tatters and bareheaded, his disheveled hair hanging down his shoulders and his shaggy beard cut off square below his chin, as if with some rude instru- ment. Mr. DeWitt made a number of attempts to converse with the men, but he would emit only a series of sounds. The only conde- scension he would make to the un- welcome visitor was to accept the proffer of a cigar. Mr. DeWitt offered him a drink of whiskey. but this he refused. Near by was the. man’s abode. composed of branches of trees. pieces of logs. mere slabs and the like. It was the erudest possible kind of shelter, only large enough to cover the man lying at full length. ———_++2@-e—_—_ Proverbs and Phrases. The world is like a staircase.

C.. April 14.—}| Kennilworth Inn, the magnificent hotel property of former State Senator Joseph M. Gazzam, of Philadelphia, representing a total management of Mrs. Annie D. Marfin; With a guest list of be- tween 60 and 70 people, was com- pletely destroyed this morning by fire, which apparently originated over the kitchen range shortly af- ter two o’clock. The Inn, with all its furnishings, and many per- sonal effects of guests, was totally wiped out. All the guests have béen accounted for. Great uneasiness was felt for a time this morning as to Mrs. Ter- rell, of Chicago, and Mrs. Ranelly, who were missed. These ladies,, however, were later located by the searchers with friends. Gazzam is at the Biltmore hospital, it is feared fatally hurt from the ef- ects of injuries sustained in jump- ing from his room on the third floor to the ground, while Tom Foster, a negro employe of the Inn, is at his home suffering from internal injuries sustained by Jumping for his life after all ave- nues of escape had been eut off by the flames. Fire Chief Bern- ard, eut off by the flames while at- tempting to arouse Mr. Gazzam. was slightly burned about the face, and his hair and eye-brows were singed while fighting his way out from the fire. Several guests were brought down the eseapes, while in rpom No. 268 Patrollman MeConnell aroused a malé guest, both the officer and the guest being forced to eome down from the floor by means of outside balconies. Kennilworth Inn was built a number of years ago at a cost of more than $200,000. Some time since improvements costing about $70,000 were made and the total cost is given at $310,000. It is understood that Mr. Gazzam car- ried $74,000 insuranee. Tom Fos- ter a negro employe, roomed over the dining room quarters and he came near being burned to death. Tom was awakened by the flames bursting through the floor. Foster was hurt about the chest as a re- sult of his fall on the roof of the fire escape. A lady on the third floor was aroused by the eracking of the flames and going out on the bal- eony, called for some one to take her down. Several young men went up the fire escape and assist- ed her down. The Inn probably will not be re- built. — +e Two Women Suicides on Cunard Liner. Liverpool, April 14.—During the voyage of the Cunard liner, Lueania, which sailed from New York April 7, two young women who had oceupied a second-class eabin fogether committed suicide by shooting. They were Margar- et Clarke, twenty-nine years old, who was believed to have been a resident of Brooklyn, and Annie Miller, twenty-two years old, whose former ‘residence is not known. The motive for the double suicide has not been as- eertained and as the bodies were buried at sea there will be no in- quest. Miss Clarke shot herself Thurs- day, the second day out while in her cabin. Her companion four days later took her own life.‘ Southern Plans New Road. Knoxville, Tenr..

Statesville is to have the one recently played here be- tween Guilford and Davidson. The game will be between The Agricultural and Mechanical Col lege, of Raleigh and the Davidson team. The farmers have been making au record this year that sMould make any college feel proud, for they have been going up against some of the very best teams in the country with great suecess. They have a good Steady team and are always there with the goods. Da- vidson has been having a little steak of hard luck in some of the games she has played this’ year, but some changes have been made in the lineup that the Da-} vidson supporters think will great ly strengthen the team. The first trial that the new lineup has been given proved a decided success } and as a result of a game between Elon College and Davidson the latter walked off with the score of fifteen to one. The Presby- terians will be in fine shape for the game Saturday, and they may be expected to put all they have in the game. Clarence Clarke will be in the box for Davidson and he is in fine form. Sexton will probably do the work for A. & M. Both of these men are good ones and will have a chance to show what they have in stock. Last year these teams broke even so this year they are going in to put up the best fight they ean, The price of general admissior. will be fifty cents. The colleges are at a-large expense bringing this game to Statesville, and as they have no sure backing in their athletic associations the people should stick to the boys. The game will be called at thitee thir- ty o'clock and a record breaking crowd is expected to be on hand when the umpire ealls ‘‘play ball’’ Miss Florence Davis on the 23r.d Pre-€minently one of the great- est attractions that the States- ville people can hope for this sea- son, will” be the appearance of Miss Florence Davis and her com- pany headed by the distinguished leading man, Mr. Elliott Dexter in the powerful Nerwegian drama “4 Doll’s House,’’ by Henrik Ib- sen.

To the Editor: We have never published state- ments of our cases in the press and trust this will be our last of- fense. However, we think it only jst to ourselves and our clients tc correct the report published by plaintiff's attorney in the case of A. F. Harris and wife vs. HW. Lazenby and J. M. Cody. Briefly the facts are these: A. F. Harris having been forced by a judgment of the Superior Court of Ire- del] county to e¢ontribute the sum of $150.00 per annum towards the support of J. M. Cody, under and by virtue of a contract made by Harris and wife and Lazenby and wife with J. M. Cody, wherein jt was agreed that Harris and wife and Lazenby and wife in consideration of Cody's conveying to them certain lands. would support and maintain said Cody and wife. Cody brought suit against Harris and wife alleg- ing in substance that Harris had driven him away from his home and refused to furnish him sup- port. The jury found these alle- gations to be true and fixed Cody's support at the sum of $150.00 per annum. made Harris two pay- ments and brought suit against wife for contribu- tion, i. e. to recover one-half thereof from Lazenby, alleging that Lazenby was jointly bound with him under the before men- tioned contract. and also to recov- er of Lazenby one-half of the sup port of Mrs. Cody (who had, since the first suit, resided with Harris).- making a total amount due from Lazenby, as Harris~alleeed! of $375:00 for which he demanded judgement. At the last term of our court. Judge Jones ordered that J. M. Cody and wife he parties defendant. Complying with this order, our client filed an answer. The case was Mr. J. B. Armfield. who heard the sanre. The referee found that Harris was not entitled to the sum of $375.00. demanded by him against Lazen- by, but was entitled to the sum of $86. The referee also adjudged that J. M. Cody was entitled to the possession of the gartlen. which Harris had in his posses- sion, of and which he declined to surrender to Cody. The referee declined to give Cody damage for certain outbuildings torn away and removed by Harris, or to re- store the possession of the spring of water immemorially used in connection with the dwelling, or to allow him a sum of money, with which to pay the necessary ex- pense of this litigation, brought on him by Harris’ breach con- tract. ee We do not claim a victory for either Mr. Cody or Mr. Lazenby, but we have to some extent curb- ed the” rapacity of Mr. Harris. We also think that the referee has erred in several particulars and will, at the proper time and in the proper tribunal, ask to be heard upon these matters. L. C. CALDWELL. H. P.

Man Hides His Bottle in a Heater and His Spouse Destroys It. According to information re- ceived by the local reporter ion this city has a cause for a suit for mental anguish against his better half. This gentleman was out of the city some weeks ago, and in his wandering around in a certain section of the state he of course, very unintentionally, ran across some old apple brandy, something which is now very rare in this state, and to be coveted by all except the church members? The gentleman secfeted his quart of brandy in his suit case and came home. He. we suppose, plead a lost key to keep his wife out of the case until he eould find some place to hide the quart as he did not desire to have it destroyed. Finally in the last ef- forts, he discovered a little heater in a spare bed room, which was piled full of old papers. Under these papers he stuck the precious package, never thinking it would be molested. But, alas, company came this week and it was cool enough to require a fire in the bed room, and the good wife was the one who built it. Before putting in the wood she took the iron poker, and proceeded to push the papers down in the stove, when, behold, something popped, and the most unpléasant scent that some ladies ever smelled come from the stove, which contained the broken bot- tle and the spilled quart ot whis- key... But the fire was built and noth- ine was said about the matter un- til the company was gone. The good lady remarked to her hus- band that it was strange how the bottle got into the heater. After some reflecting, we are told that the hubby come across ‘honest Injun’’ and contessed the whole thing. He evidently had seen the ef- fect of white lightening upon the erass at the court house, and de- cided it was best that the whiskey had been dstroyed, instead of him drinking it. ; ——_~+2e——__— GOOD GAME EXPECTED.

The market is $1.40 per bpushed. If the local consumer had to depend wholly on local millers for their flour, and these millers had to go into the market and buy wheat at present prices, it is not difficult to figure out what a barrel of flour would cost It takes 4 1-2 bushels of wheat to make 196 pounds of flour,which is a standard barrel. At $1.40 a bushel the wheat alone would cost the miller $6.30. This would be even before the miller got posses- sion of it. Then would come the expense of milling it and the cost of packing, te say nothing of the maintaining of the machinery and getting a profit on the money in- vested. By the time it would be Yeady to ship it would have ap- proached the cost of $7.00. Then the miller’s profit would havt to be considered; also that of the wholesale jobber, and fin- ally of the retailer. It is conser- vatively intimated that at $1.40 per bushel for wheat the cost of placing a baxrel of flour in the consumer’s hands would be ap- proximately close to $9.50, or nearly 5 cents per pound. In Chicago yesterday afternoon wheat took a sudden slump. and is now bringing $1.25 3-4 in that city. FIRE AT CHARLOTTE. C. A. Black’s Livery Stable Burn- ed—Loss About $25,000.

Black, on East Stonewall street this morn- ing at 9:30 o’clock, entirely de- stroying the stable. The loss of building and contents is about $25,000, with $3,000 insurance on the contents. The building was owned by Dr. R. L. Gibbon of that city, and was a two story brick strneture. The entire fire fighting department of the city was called out, but the fire had gained such headway that ened, but by the work of the splendid department, other dam- not be reached, and they, with many of the vehicles were de- stroyed. also a lot of feed stuffs. There were several more horses in the stable, but they were rescued without any injury. Mr. Black earried $3,000 insurance on his ve- hicles, ete. How much insurance Dr. Gibbon carried on his building is not known.

Washington, April 18.—‘lIre- land for the Irish. 1910—meet me at Kilkenny.”’ With this as their siogan, the friends of the proposed ‘‘Irish home-going’? movement in 1910. The census of the whole country is to be taken next year. This is a very important matter to the South. The census is something more than a mere enumeration of the population; in fact that is one of the least important f eatures. The census is intended to show the industries, the progress and the wealth of the country. In these reports the South wants it to be shown what she has and has done in the way of development and inerease of wealth since the last census year. To have this done accurately the work must be in the hands of competent per- sons. If this is to be done the taking of the census must be-tak- en out of politics. Heretofore such appointments were entirely political. The offices were given to men purely for political pur- poses without regard to their fit- ness for the positions, and because of this fact the South has suffered greatly at the hands of incom- petent census takers and supervi- sors. President Taft. we are glad to know, will corerct this abuse in so far as he is able. For this pur- pose he has instructed Director North to disregard party lines in the selection of men for the vari- ous offices. What he wants is suitable men—men competent to do the work properly and thor- oughly. That must be the ruling idea in making appointments. If Rowan county chain gang. His parents could do nothing with him and he had to go his way. a A CO-OPERATIVE LIVING. Productive Industry Reducitg the Burden of Housekeeping. Everybody’s Magazine. Each passing decade sees a larger and larger share of the life of the child transferred from indi- vidual to co-operative influences; in other words transferred from Within the home to outside the home. We have already observed that the same law of development exists in respect to certain other elements of home life. We have seen how productive industry. once located largely in the home has almost entirely departed from it. We have observed how the arts of housekeeping have begun to die in the home and to be re- vived in domestic science courses outside. : Simultaneously. naturally, there has arisen a great demand on the part of for food al- ready cooked. This applies not only to breads and canned and canned fruits. but to meats and fish. In one of the Chicago depart- ment stores, last year, the mana- ger of the grocery department sold more than $200,000 of chicken housewives cereals and vegetables Sen ridav night at the opera house him by the eoat tail. ‘Ror ihe ie : 35 e i . d C tt . ~ 6 le 7 <2 07 . will no doubt prove to be that.

The occasion promises to be the ereatest epoch-making even in the history of Ireland. es The principal motive underly- ing the proposed pilgrimage is the development ofthe natural re- sourees of Ireland and the up- building of its industries. The moving spirit m the move- ment is Francis J. Kilkenny, con- fidential clerk to the Comptroller of the Currency. Within a short time he hopes to establish here na- tional headquarters, with branches of the Irish home-going movement in the principal cities of the country. people of our own section of the country. It will give the South hr proper position, which has not ben done in the previous census reports. If the President forces his desires into xecution he will do the South a great benefit and deserve her gratitude. Wormwood boiled in vinegar and applied as hot as can be borne on a sprain or a bruise is an invaluable remedy.

Of course, even $200.000 is a small amount compared with what a city as large as Chicago spends a year in food, but it shows in which direction the tendency is setting. There is probably ten times as much cooked food sold in Chicago today as there was ten years ago. All these changes tend to con- tract the escape of the home, but it does not follow that they tend to destroy its vital principle. = A at tl ae il dhe aR FOR WO cae = the gown drawn down below THE EVENING MASCO shoulders.

AN EXPLANATION. | } \ pr. J. W. MacConnell Tells Why the Game Between Davidson; and A.& M. was Forfeited and | Endeavors to Prove His Case. Dr. John W. MacConnell, facul- ' ty representatives in the athletic association of Davidson, addresses the appended communication to the Charlotte Observer, giving his; interpretation of the affair in this city Saturday when A. & M. for- feited the game to the Davidson team, on ruling of the umpire. The following is his explanation: To the Sporting Editor of The Ob- server: tis with no desire to enter into any controversy that I wish to make any explanation in regard to the Davidson-A. & M. game which was forfeited fo Davidson in Statesville last Saturday, but a simple explanation of the facts in the case will make it appear that not only was Mr. Morrison, the umpire entirely right in his deci- sion, but A. & M. should be cen- gured even by ‘their friends for trying to win a game by irregular methods. Frank Thompson, the coach and trainer of the A. & M. team, had no right on the coaching lines dur- ing the game, for he was neither a player nor a substitute player, and only a player in uniform can oceupy the coaching lines during a game. His place was on the bench and he should have remain- ed there during the game. So he was illegally a coach without question, and recognized the truth of the statement when I called his attention to it, but said everything was ull right so long as the umpire did not object. Second, He was not only illegal- ly a coach, but he persisted in do- | ing illegal coaching by refusing t.$'are conducting a most excellent remain in the eoaching lines, and! sehool. also in coaching the batter as to what ball the pitcher would use. ! The rules distinetly state (see rule 58) that the coach must he a thinking of buying property and player of the team at bat, and i moving to our growing town. that he mush coach only the base- runner, and address remarks and ‘visiting relatives and friends at Taylorsville, returned home Mon- | Third, The signed contract be-j day. sign to no one else. tween Davidson and A. & M. States that no hired eoach can’ his new dwelling. participate in the game, thus in Thompson’s participating in the game, he was violating the con- tract between th two teams. Finally, it is seen that the um- pire was entirely correct :n or- dering him to the bench and that the proper thing for the captain of the A. © M., team to do was to send him to the bench, instead of trying to bluff the umpire into changing his decision, for they ev- idently met the wrong man to bluff in the ease of Mr. Morrison. A. & M. has a fine baseball team there is no question of that, and they can win enough games with- ont resorting to any irregular methods. Mr. Thompson is one ot the best coaches in the state and is a close personal friend of the writer. and I mean to cast no reflection on him in any way, but oaks Wish to object to the spirit of “win at any eost’? which seems ‘ pevvade his team. for eollege | athleties exist to install ideals into young men which will be of bene- ft to them in after life, and not tend to dishonest methods.

Ada, Oklahoma, April 19.— Four prominent cattlemen were lynched by a mob of 100 citizens. | taken from the city jail here. he victims are J. B. Miller, of 'Fort Worth Texas; B. B. Burrell, | uf Duncan, Okla.; Jesse West and ‘joe Allen, of Canadian Texas. The mob is said to have organ- ized in the Commercial Club rooms aud marched to the jail at 3 o’cleck this morning. Only one man stood guard at the prison and he was quickly overpowered and the four pris- oners were seized, taken to a near by barn and hung from the raft- ers. The bodies were cut down about 9 o’clock. There was little excitement dur- ing the lynching. The men were held on charge of complicity in the murder of former U. S. Mar- shal Bobbitt, near Ada last Feb- ruary. Bobbitt was shot trom ambush on his way home. Examining trial was held Thursday, but no indict- ment was ever returned. Miller had killed six men in his life and was ‘*chum”’ of the late Pat Garret, the famous man- hunter and was with Garret when he was killed at Laseruce. The mob was composed of many of the prominent citizens of the citv and only few were masked. The authorities were powerless to prevent the lynching as the carly hour placed them at disad- vantage. The entire formation of the mob and lynching which fol- lowed was performed in a most methodical manner. So intense was the feeling during the pre- liminery hearing ot the men Judge Brown prohibited publica- tion of the evidence Burrell was the nephew of Mill- er and turned states evidence against Miller and told of the complete plans of West and Allen to murder Bobbitt, a long time enemy of both. No arrests of the lynchers has been made. Seana 4a NESTS THAT WEIGH TONS Those of the Australian Jungie Fowl Are Often 15 Feet High. In Australia are to be found the largest, heaviest and most pecul- iar nests in the world. These are the nests of the jun- gle fowl, so-called, and are built in the form of great mounds, the average measurement in height) being 15 feet and the circumfer- ence 150 feet. The nests are erect- ed in secluded sheltered spots! and as in the case of the small nests of birds, they are skilfully interwoven with leaves grass and twigs and such other suitable ma- terial as the fowl may be able to procure. A similar system says The Lon- don Globe, is followed by the bush turkey, whose home is, however, more comprehensive in design. Its shape is pyramidal. It has been asserted by Australian naturalists that the nests of the bush turkeys which live in colonies, are so large that to move them requires the services of six or seven men. The material of a single nest has been found to weigh upward of five tons. 4+ Cigarettes Under Ban. St. Paul, April 17.—Gov.

Salisbury, April 19.—James Keesler, an employe of the South- ern shops at Spencer, was shot twice and seriously wounded yes- terday afternoon in front of his home at East Spencer by Deputy Sheriff D. L. Beasley. One of the bullets entered the right arm be- low the elbow, shattered the bone and lodged in the arm near: the soulder. Beasley left imme- diately after the shooting and al- though Sheriff McKenzie and de- puties were on the ground shortly after the shooting they could find no trace of him. The Sheriff received a message last night that the deputy would come to Salis- bury and surrender. The shooting occurred over do- mestic troubles. It is stated that Deputy Beasley was at Mr. Kees- ler’*s home yesterday afternoon during the latter's absence and that some one advised him of the fact. When he approached the deputy and Mrs. Keesler were in front of the house. One witness Says taat Mrs. Keesler gave warn- ing of impending trouble by ex- claiming ‘‘Look out, Mr. Beasley. he is going to shoot you.’’ Both men drew their guns, the aggriev- ed husband firing first and emp- tying three barrels of his pistol. All the shots went wild. Deputy Beasley’s aim was more accurate and when he saw that he had hit Mr. Keesler he left the scene. The wounded man was given immedi- ate medical attention and unless complications set in will recover Tis arm will be affected for life however. i Deputy Beasley is unmarried. There was much excitement in East Spencer immediately folliw- ing the shooting and nothing else was talked of yesterday after- noon. Ee ee DROWNED IN NEUSE RIVER. W. G. Justice, a Young Newbern Man, Loses His Life While Out for a Pleasure Sail—Boat Cap- sizes and he Becomes Entangled in Shad Net—Body Recovered Several Hours Aftrward. Newbern, April 13.—Late yes- terday afternoon while out sail- ing ina small sailboat on the Neuse river, near the ‘‘dynamite house’’ and in plain view of New- bern, the boat fouled in a shad net and turned over, throwing the oc- eupants, Messrs. B. S. Meeks, agent of the Atlantic Coast Line, E. R. Boyd, billing clerk and W. G. Justice, operator, in the water, Mr. Boyd clung to the boat and Mr. Meeks caught a shad net pole. but Mr. Justice, the only member of the party who could swim, in attempting to reach a shad net pole went under and was drown- ed. Messrs. Boyd and Meeks managed to attract the attention of a nearby boat and were taken off in about half an hour com- pletely exhausted. Search was at once begun for the body of Mr. Justice, the cutter crew and other boats working much of the night in the search, but the body was not found until this morning about 10 o’clock by a erew from the revenue cutter Pamlico. The body was entangled in a shad net which caught in the latches of the shoes, thus preventing it from floating. ; The body will be taken to Teacheys for burial tonight. Mr. Justice, aged about 26, was a native of Teacheys, Duplin coun- ty, and had only been here a short time. He leaves a wife and two children who were at Teacheys when the accident occurred.

J. L. SHEPHERD, W. E. TURNER, T. L. STIKELEATHER, Committee. ee Mrs. Theodore F. Kluttz, of Salis- bury, Dead. The people of Statesville were shocked this morning to hear of the death of Mrs. Theodore F. Kluttz, She died Tuesday morning at 5 9’clock in the Salisbur'y sanitorium. The death of Mrs. Kluttz was not only a great shock to her friends in Salisbury, but in States- ville as well, having been born here sixty-one years ago. Mrs. Kluttz had been sick only a short time. of Salsbury. Recently she visit- ed her brother, Mr. J. P. Caldwell, of Charlotte, and had not the slightest suspicion of impending ilIness Shortly afte returning to her home in Salisbury she felt some slight pain and was advised by Dr. Whitehead that there was sericus internal trouble and an op- eration was imperative, which was performed, and while Mrs. Kluttz nade a brave battle for life she had not the strength to tide her over the crisis. Mrs. Muttz was well known and greatly loved in Statesville. the place of her birth. She was the daughter of the late J P Caldwell, who was a prominent man and a member of congress at the time of his death’ The only surviving members of her family are J. P. Caldwell, editor of the Charlotte Ovserver‘and Miss Jennie Cald- -ell of Statesville. Mrs. Kluttz was married in 1873 to Theodore F. Kiuttz of Salisbury. The sur- viving children are Janie, Theo- dore F. Jr:, Whitehead and Cath- leen. - Mrs. Kluttz joimed the Presby- terian church while in Statesville. and her lite has ever been a ray of licht to all wifi whom she came in contact. She had a beautiful home in Salisbury which was the center of culture and hospitality. Mr. J. P. Caldwell, of Charlotte. who “recently suffered a light stroke of paralysis will not be able to attend the funeral The funeral was conducted this afternoon at 4 o’elock at the First Presbyterian church of Salisbury.

The State Sunday School Asso- ciation of Misissippi is in. session at Jackson, Miss., with hundreds of delegates in attendance. The Wilkesboro Chronicle says there are only two prisoners in the Wilkes county jail and that Jailer James has some rooms to let. News has been received that two American missionaries *have been killed at Adana, Turkey, in eonnection with the revolutionary ridts in that country. The mur- dered missionaries were Mr. Rog- ers and Mr: Maurer. We venture the assertion that if Wilkes could have some of Ire- dell’s officars for a month or so their jail would soon be overflow- ing with retailers and violators of the law. : After an alleged altercation with his father on a bridge across the Big Sandy river, at Louisa, Ky., Walter Wellman, aged 22 years, jumped from the bridge in an attempt at suicide, falling to the water 65 feet below. He was not drowned but was so badly in- jured it is believed he will die. The Wellmans are merchants. A terrific hail and wind storm struck Des Moines and Central Towa, doing heavy damage to budding fruit trees. Polk County courthouse was struck by lighten- ing and slightly damaged. Plate- glass windows in downtown steres vere blown in and cellars were fiooded. At Stuart hailstones weighing half a pound fell. The stables of Harvey Jeell. of Cedar Falls, were struck by lightning and 24 horses and 34 cows were killed. Jewell’s loss is $7,000. eet The case in the Federal court yesterday against T. N. Locke and a Mr. Johnson deserves more than passing notice. Locke and John- son plead guilty to an indictment charging them with sending un- mailable matter through the mails.. Judge Boyd fined them $200 and one half the cost each, which brought the total cost for each de- fendant up to $500 exclusive of his lawyer’s fee. His honor inti- mated that he thought the ends of justice would be fulfilled if in ad- dition to the costs in the case they could be fcreed to take some of the medicine they advertised. Messrs. Locke and Johnson for- merly lived in Caldwell county, but Mr. Locke is now editor of the California Independent, a relig- ious paper published at Los An- geles, Cal. ~ | ANOTHER JAR. | Ae : cate Jars the Hats.

Brawley re- turned last evening from a visit to relatives at Gastonia. Mrs. A. A. Sherrill has returned from a week’s visit to relatives at Charlotte. A film in the moving picture show caught fire last night, but was extinguished before any dam- age was done. The Wilesboro Chronicle says that the fruit crop in the moun- tains is safe. There will be an abundance of apples. peaches and cherries. From the number of wagons for children to play with. unloaded at the depot this morning to local firms, it might occur to some that these firms had cornered the mar- ket on the wagon business. ter who have been visiting at Western part of the state have re- turned to Statesville. They make their home at the Gaither boand- ing house. Geo. Caldwell, colored, of Wal- lacetown, was tried before Judge Kine on a warrant charging him with slapping his wife, King found him taxed him with the costs—Judge King’s usual sen- vestemlay Judge guilty and tence.

A story told by Dr Robertson Wicoll in the British Weekly of the | man who saw in a dream his own. epitaph written upon 4 tombstone | recalis the shocks and thrills which | the good people of Reading experi- | enced when that Berkshire town} < was younger. Mysterious messages). were conveyed to the townspeople, inscribed upon their bread. One old lady found upon the bottom of her loaf a death’s head and cross- | ent to the extent of several hun- bones. So terrified was she at what she regarded as a terrible omen that she took to her bed and died. An- other n found on his bread the words “Died Sept. 20,” with the year fortunately missing, while to a third came the word “Resurgam.” This latter cryptic message was sub- mitted to a wise man, who inferred thet nothing occult was implied, but that it was the baker's way of politely intimating that bread might rise in price. These and like mys- teriea threw the whole town into # c. Light came unerpectedly. The first step carried the investigators to the hallowed acre about St. Giles’ church; the second led them to a baker’s oven. Alterations at the church had necessitated the remov- date too ancient to admit of their being claimed by kinsfolk of the @ead. Now, the church warden at the time was the town’s chief baker, and he looked with longing upon those fine flat stones, for his oven sadly needed a new bottom. The desire to possess them grew irresist- ibly upon him, and, winking at scruples and parochial duty, he at last carried the treasures at dead ot night to his bakehouse. ‘There they were built into the oven. But, as murder will out, so will graven me- mortals of the dead. The stones were accidentally fixed with their inscription upward to print their story upon the bread which the un- int ‘parochial steward baked and sold. Where Everything Grows. The tuberose flourishes amazingly fm the open air in the Transvaal with but the smallest attention and cultivation. The bulbs shoot up their three or four foot stems, each ing very sweet smelling flowers in an incredibly short space of time. In Pretoria roses are prolific—in fact, most of the streets ure bound- ed by rose hedges throughout their gth—and they bloom with a frail, monthly rose blossom for three-quarters of the year. In pub- Be such as the park, the pro- fusion of roses, lilies, carnations and tuberoses is bewilderingly beauti- ful. The wild orchids of Swaziland are famous. They are of at least twenty different kinds. They are extremely curious, and with a little care and extra heat they can be in- duced to develop into very wonder- fal ts. Everything grows in the Transvaal if the trouble is taken to plant it. Birds as Ventriloquists. --Many birds form their sounds without opening their bills. The igeon is a well known instance of . Ite cooing can be distinctly heard, although it does not open ite bil The call is formed internally in the throat and chest and is rendered audible only by resonance. Similar ways may be observed in meany birds and other animals. The elear, loud call of the cuckoo, ac- cording to one naturalist, is the fesonance of a note formed in the bird. The whirring of the snipe, which betrays the approach of the bird to the hunter, is an act of ven- triloguism. Even the nightingale has certain notes which are pro- @uced internally and which are au- dible while the bill is closed. An Ugly Toad. Ali toads are accounted ugly, but the most hideous of all perhaps is that of Surinam, with its flat and triangular head, unusually short neck and specially flat body. Its|in ores are very small and are of an ive tint, spotted with red. Yet the parental instincts of these crea- tares are as kind in their way as those of the most beautiful animals in creation. The female in due course having laid her eggs, the male toad picka them up and de- posits them on her horny back, when she immediately starts for the nearest marsh and immerses berseif and the embryotic brood in the semi-liquid mud, where she re- mains they are hatched.

Another case against Angle in which he was sentenced to four years in prison and fined $15,000 is now pending before the Civeuit Court of Appeals. Angle, while under sentence of thirteen months in North Caroli- na, was convicted in this city last spring of revenue frauds in con- neetion with the Dry Fork Com- wis out on a $20,000 decision of the pany.

State Superintendent of Public Instruction J. Y. Joyner is send- ing out to county superintendents and county boards of education blanks for the itemized state- ment to be submitted by them to the board of county commission- ers of each county on the first Monday of June, 1909, in accord- ance with the act of the general assembly of 1909, repealing sec- tions 4099 to 4106 and section. 4112 of the public school law and providing for a more equitable‘ apportionment of the second hundred thousand dollars and the levying of a special tax for the maintenance of one or more pub- lie schools in every school district for a term of four months in each year. In his letter accompanying the blanks he sets out graphically the needs of the public schools and defines ‘‘necessary expenses.’’ He says: ‘Your estimate of necessary expenses for the maintenance of one or more public schools in each school district for four months should be as conservative and as economical as is consistent with the actual educational needs of the school districts, and with the actual educational demands of civilization and of this age. Here are some of the necessary expenses for the proper mainten- ance of a public school that your board should eonsider conserva- tively in making its estimate: **1, A suitable house with re- spectable equipment in every dis- trict. For this purpose set aside in your estimate, if necessary, the entire amountt~ allowed by sec- tion 4116 of the public school law for building and repairing school- house and other equipment. You will observe that the law reason ably limits the proportion of the school fund that may be annually used for these purposes. ‘*2. Reasonably efficient su- pervision. If the salary now paid your county superintendent is in- sufficient to employ a thoroughly competent man to devote enough of his time properly to supervise, direct and visit the public schools, you can and ought to include in your estimate a sufficient salary to employ such a man and pro- vide such supervision. The pub- lie school law requires a county superintendent who shall super- vise and visit the publie schools; therefore this is a reasonable part of the necessary expense re- quired by law for the proper maintenance of one or more schools in each school district for at Ieast four months. “2 Properly qualified teach- ers and enough of them to da thorough work in branches re- quired to be taught in public schools. Under the law the board of education is required to fix aod report the number of teachers necessary for each school in each school district and the salary of each teacher. In fixing such sal- ary the board should have due regard for the grade of work to be done and the qualifications of the teacher necessary to do this work, and should fix a salary sufb- eient to command a competent teacher. A school can be no bet- ter than the eacher. ‘4.

Young Naill and C. C. Tiller of Cooleemee, who as judge and registrar of election, were charged with having refus- ed to allow several qualified vot- ers of Cooleemee to vote in the recent election at Cooleemee. After much argument yesterday in the case the first bill of indiet- ment was quashed on account of several technical errors in this bill. After this bill was quashed, the district attorney began drawing up another bill of indictment, and at this mornings session the case was again taken up. The attor- neys for the defendants immedi- ately began arguing the ease again and made a motion to quash the second bill, on the grounds that a registrar and judge of an election could not be arrested, and upon this ground, the ease was thrown out of court. —_—_—+<@>-e—__—_. TRAIN NO. 74 AGAIN. The Unlucky Train is Wrecked Twice This Morning. It can now be said that freight train No. 74 is truly in the hands of a hoodoo. During the past four months it has been wrecked about four times, and this morn- ing, this same train, in charge of Conductor Henry Tomlin, brother of Mr. C. S. Tomlin of tMHs city, left the track twice, the latter time being more serious than the first time. it was fist wrecked near Greenlee this morning, but not serious, a wrecking crew being summoned, which soon put it back on the track again. The train then proceeded to continue its journey, and when it arrived at Oyama, one mile west of Hick- ory, fifty-five miles from this city, the hoodoo again cast its spell cn the ill-fated train, and thir- teen cars left the track, and were badly torn up, but no one was hurt. The breaking in of a truck is thought to be the cause. 4 wrecking crew was immedi- ately summoned, and are now husily engaged in clearing the track. East bound passenger train No. 22 was unabie to pass the scene of the wreck, and west bound pas- senger train No. 11 transferred with No. 22, and returned, pass- ing through this city at 2:15 o’elock this afternoon. That this train is hoodooed is now a well established fact. It has been suggested by some that the number of this train be changed say to No. 13, to see how it would work ———_~~<@>-e——— Mr. Jas.

Y., April 21. --A terrific ice jam in the Niaga- ra river today threatens the de- struction of the towns of Niagara Falls, Lewiston and Youngstown. Unless immediate action is taken by the government to break up the jam it is feared that the course of the Niagara river will be changed and that Niagara Falls, with all of the greatt pow- er plants will be destroyed. Residents of Lewiston and Ni- agara Falls are panic-stricken. Chief of Police Thomas H: Lyons, of Niagara Falls, said that if steps were not taken to break the ice jam before nightfall he feared serious consequences would- result. <A similar statement was made by Proprietor Cornell of the Cornell House at Lewiston. At Niagara-on-the-Lake the wa- ter reached the first floors of three big hotels imprisoning more than 100. guests, who were rescued by means of boats. Thousands of lives are imperil- ed by the mountains of ice that have choked up the river and pro- perty worth millions of dollars is in danger of destruction. Department Can Do Nothing. Washington, April 21—At the war department this morning it was said that Col. W. L. Fiske, in eommand of the United States engineers office at Buffalo, N. Y.,- wired the department that there is nothing the department can do to relieve the danger from the ice gorge at NiagaraFalls, there being no facilities for undertaking the work. The statement was made that it is believed the ise is in a soft, mushy condition, instead of being hard, and this being the ease dynamite or other explosives could not be used to advantage. ““The war department is will- ing to do whatever it can to re- lieve the situation.” said an of6- cial, ‘‘but it cannot go against providence or nature_”’ “Then it amounts to just this: That the people of Niagara Falls will have to help themselves as best they may,’ was the sugges- tion made. “‘That is about what it amounts to,’’ was the reply. ae ice field this afternoon was car- ried over the falls.

Eighty years ago there were just 16 postoffices in Iredell coun- ty and of course no R.F.D. routes. The following list was taken from the official U. S. postal guide for the year 1830. The name eof the postmaster follows the name of the postoffice : Bethany Church, Hugh R. He} Bogles, “sseph Bogle. Clover Estrom, James i3. Thomas. Fallstown, Edwin Falls. Goshen, James Patterson. Houstonville, Placebo Houston. Liberty Hill, Abner Feimster. Mt. Mourne, Rufus Reid. Mount Pisgah, John N. Bennett. Popolar Grove, Thos. Sumpter. Rebinson’s, Wm. Fi. Robinson Spring Grove William Har- grove. Statesville, Whitfield Kerr. Stony Point, John Thompson. Sullivan, Richard Sullivan. Tabor Church, Daniel Gould. We see from this list that five of these ioffices still exist, two of these being now in Alexandeif eounty. They are Houstonville, Mt. Mourne, Statesville, Stony Point and Mt. Pisgah. The rates of postage on a few articles were as follows: Single letters composed of one piece of paper, six cents for a dis- tanee not exceeding 30 miles; from 30 to 80 miles 10 cts; firrom 80 to 150 miles 12 1-2 cts.; from 150 to 400 miles 18 3-4 cents and over 400 miles 25 cents. A letter composed of two pieces of paper was double the above rates and of four pieces quadruple the above rates and so on. The postage on a letter weighing one ounce was one dollar, for two ounces two dolfars and so for any amountt. miles for one cent and for over 100 miles 1 1-2 cents was eharged but anywhere in the state in which it was printed for 1 cent whatever the distance. Pam- phlets not published periodically were charged 4 cents per sheet for a distance not exceeding 100 miles and six cents per sheet for over 100 miles. By comparing the past with the present we can realize what great advancements and improvements have been made in the Postal system. A little pamphlet which ean now be mailed for one cent would have cost a nice little sum of money 80 years ago. “Vho can locate the postoffices named above, for instance. where was Cloven Bottom? ~~<2ee————— Rev.

He was driv- ing through the passage way by! the old electric light plant, when in some way ‘the horse got its hind feet entangled in an old of its hind legs was completely severed. The injured horse was taken to its stable and the lead- er was sewed together this mora- ing, but it is not thought that the horse will ever be of much service again. This is one of the fine Morgan horses brought to this city last year from Vermont, and they are of a more enduring type than the native horse. Dr. Yount prized his team “very highly, and it is very_ unforunate that the acci- dent occurred. ——~~++@>-e—___. Teaching Language Through Let- ter Writing. One of the best ways of teach- ing language is through letter writing. Take one day in the week and let the students write letters to one another—write about the week’s work, or the amusements of the week, or the woods and fields. Then let an af- ternoon be devoted to aPading these letters publicly. Then arrange with other schools in the county, or with other classes of the same school to exchange letters. One letter may be devoted to geography work, another to nature study, another to the school grounds, another to the decorations in the school room, and so on. The re- plies should be on the same sub- ject. Then arrange wit hother schools out of the state—in the north or West. Some schools have arrang- ed to correspond with students in England and Scotland. In all this letter writing insist on the eorrect forms, training them especially in the following: How to direct a letter. How to begin a letter. How to close a letter. How to paragraph properly. How to use the necessary punc- tuation. How to use the necessary cap- itals and abbreviations. How to be careful to correct all misspelled wo¥ds and other grammatical mistakes. —E. C.

Cowan | Dies very Sud- denly Yesterday Just After. Noon. Mr. William H. Cowan Riied quite suddenly yesterday about} 12 o’clock at his home in Olin | township, the cause of his death | Rot being known. The funeral Services were conducted from the Snow Creek church this after- noon at 3 o’clock, and the inter- ment was in the Snow Creek grave yard, with Masonic honors, the services being conducted by Rev. W. O. Ruth. Mr. Cowan was born and rear- ed in this county, near where he }died, and was about 63 years old. He is survived by his wife and five children. Only two child- ren, @ son at home and Mrs. Jas. R. Hill of this city, live in this state, the others being very far away. Mr, Cowan was a broth- er of Mrs. J. A. Long who lives west of the city, and an uncle of Z. V., H. F., Mrs. J. W. C., and Miss Tennie Long all of this cit. Mr Cowan was a confederate veteran, and was one of the survi- vors of Company A., First North Carolina eavalry, and was always ready to go to the front at any risk for the sake of his cause. He was a good kind hearted man, and always led a devoted Chris- tian life, and his death is mourn- ed by all who knew him. $+ LARGE FRUIT CROPS. The Reports Say That There is Still Much Fruit Left. Encouraging reports come from all parts of the country con- cerpine’ the probability of a large fruit crop. In the mountain sec- tions especially it is believed that the frost and~freezes have done little damage to the earlier fruit blooms, while the apple blooms are practically unhurt. A gen- tleman who was in this city this week attending Federal court, stated that he owned a large or- chard in Wilkes county, and as yet fis crop was not injured much, but he stated, it was not too late for the fruit to be killed, as he had known frost to come as late as the first of May. In an event of That kind it is impossi- ble to estimate the loss. ‘‘Fruit Farming in the Brushy Mountains’’ is the title of a book- let issued by Mr. W. T. Rowland, secretary of the Brushy Mountain Fruit Growers Association. The booklet is being widely distribut- ed into those sections where it will probably attract attention and interest to the possibilities of fruit ~ culture of that section. Those who feel an interest in the matter should write to Mr. Row- land at Taylorsville, N. C., for a copy of the booklet. oo Is IT FREAKS? Henderson Boasts of Twenty-Nine Sets of Twins in One Year.

R. O. Deitz, P. C. Gray, J. B. Gill. C. M. Steele, D. M Ausley, L. C. Steele, J. = Brady, R. L Poston and W W. Cooper. The banquet room was beautifully decorated in the colors of the Pythian order and the tables at which the guests were seated extended the whole length of the hall A most deli- cious menu consisting of a salad course, coffee, cream, cake and fruits was served by the young ladies. The entire affair was most splendidly arranged, and the committee on ararngements spared no pains to make the affair most successful. On account of the many of the delegates from other lodges, the program first an- nounced could not be carried out to the full extent. Mr. J. H. Hoffman was toast master. “ion. L. C.

It is with pleasure that we are | orized by Mayor H. P. Grier} to gnnounce that Wednesday, May 5, has been set aside as clean- ing up day in this city. We have) . several weeks. since spring} dawned upon us. ben thinking of this matter. This morning when spoken to about the matter, by the Mascot reporter, Mr. Grier seemed very enthusiastic over the matter, and immediately stated that he would issue a proclama- tion, setting aside Wednesday, May 5, for that occasion. For the past few months many cities and towns of the state hav had these cleaning up days. The city of Statesville is the best town in the state, is noted for its cleanliness, and we only think it proper, as Mayor Grier says, to take this step. Nothing looks worse than a yard which is adorn- ed with old papers, sticks, tin cans, and numerous other refuse matter, which, unfortunately, a' William goat cannot get to. It not only looks bad, but is a breed- | | } ; | auth ing place for filth and germs. With all this refuse matter cleaning away al trash, and not only is every thing made to look much better, but the good health of the community at large is insured. Already numerous families of the city have taken this step, eclearing the away all trash. and white washing the out buildings, fences, ete.. on their proprety. If every one will only take the pro- per interest in the matter, that will be one of the greatest steps ever taken by the citizens of Statesville. Several of the good ladies of the city have already beseiged the mayor with re- quests that aday be set aside for this purpose, and. with the pish and go of them, no doubt Statesville will be cleaned up pro- perly and without delay. ie Among the Churches.

Sheriff Deaton and Deputy Sheriff Ward made a raid into Union Grove’ Township yesterday and destroyed a blockade distil- lery and about 300 gallons of beer. The distillery was located on Rocky River, near the Union Grove and New Hope township line. From indications it had been in operation for several days and the operators were prepared to make a run when the officers came upon them. There were three men at work and after an excicting chase Sheriff Deaton captured John MHpler. Sheriff Deaton was upon them almost be- fore they knew it. The three men darted down a steep hillside below the distillery and Sheriff Deaton whirled his horse around and dashed after them. He chased one man _ while on his horse for about 300 yards and then alighted and continued the chase for about 50 yards and eap- tured him. In the tussle they fell to the ground and in getting up Deaton was struck on the left arm with a rock by his adversary which almost paralyzed it. Deaton then struck him on the head with his handeuffs which soon brought him to his senses. The officers then destroyed the outfit and brought their prisoner, who prov- ed to be John Hepler, on to town end lodged him in jail. A memo- >audum found in a eoat- which the operators in their haste left at the distillery contained the name of Milas H. It is said that John Hepler has a brother named Milas Just before the capture Dep- uty Sheriff Ward went around on the other side to eut off their es- cape but they did not come his way. The officers also found about three gallons of whiskey at the distillery. Sheriff Ward said the distillery was in plain view of the public road. At a preliminary hearing this morning before Judge King, Hep- ler waived examination and gave bonds in the sum of $500 for dis- tilling and $300 for resisting ar- rest. Hon. L. C.

Powers, eral court, found guilty of peon- age, and sentenced to fifteen months imprisonment in the Fed- eral penitentiary at Atlanta. An appéal was taken by Powers to the United States supreme court and he will be required to give a justified bond in the sum of $10.- 000.. As yet the bond has not been given, and it is very doubtful whether it can be given or not. The evidence introduced by four negro men and one white man, the Witnesses in the case, was that Powers, superintendent for the McCabe Company who were build- ing the South and Western rail- road, now the Carolina, Clinch field and Ohio Railroad Co., did beat and otherwise abuse the hands in order to prevent their leaving before they had worked out the transportation given them by said company. The _ ease against the McCabe company was nol prossed. Powers was repre- sented by Lieut. Gov. Newland of Lenoir and S. J. Ervin of Mor- ganton. Cases of peonage against J. H. Harris and Jas. Fin- ley were nol prossed. Cases of the same connection as the Pow- ers’ case against Joe Tolly and J, P. Elmore were continued.

Sunday fair, warmer in the in- terior. 2+ Fortunes have been lost and} won on wheat recently and there has been great excitement on the boards of trade throughout the eountry. the highest point years and the price of bread has taken a consequent rise. It is charged that James A. Patten of. Chieago has brought about the rise in the wheat price. Thurs- day, April 15, is a day long to be remembered at Chicago. Patten said it was nothing but a flurry but many people lost all their worldly possessions on that day. Patten claims that the scarcity of wheat is responsible for the situa- tion. An Associated Press dis- patch under date of Washington, April 15. asys: ‘* Representative Seott of Kansas, chairman of the house committee on agriculture. today introduced a bill to prohib- it dealings in futures of wheat within thirty; corn and other agricultural pro- duets. “We have enough repub lieans and democrats to insure the passage of this bill, or one drawn along similar lines at thee next regnlar session of congress,’ said Mr. Seott. ‘The main thing is to draft a measure that will be con- stitutional.” During the last ses- sion of congress hearings were given to bills seeking to prohibit the dealing in futures of agricul- tural, but no action was taken ’’ —__~++2@>-e—_—_—_ NEGLECTED ADVANTAGES OF RURAL LIFE. The use and enjoymeni of the best literature is as much the priv- ilege of the country man as of the city man if he is only trained to appreciate it. . The country boy and girl can not have the advant- ages of great art collections, but photographs of the great masters may be had for a song; and (in- estimable advantage to the rural life!) to the trained eye, every meadow, every stream, every field ig a gallery of pictures as charm- ing as ever artist painted,—indeed the very models of many of the canvases that artists have made. In the countyy one can not have the concert and the opera; but to the quickened ear every hedge- row and grove furnishes a my- riad orchestra of birds; to the eye that has bee ntrained to see, and the heart that has been opened to understand, every sunrise is a hal- lelujah chorus of color, every sun- set a silent symphony. When our country homes have been made harbors of peace and havens for the heart and the mind as well as abiding places for the body; when our country schools have been made what they can be and what they should be; when they teach the children who at- tend them to see in the life they have had the forune to be born to. greater opportunities for health, happiness, prosperity and intelli- gent power than in any other life, when they have made the common places of the home, the farm, the pasture and the woodland glow with the intelligent understand- ing of their practical possibilities and their far-reaching outlook on life; when these things have been done, as—thanks to an ever in- ereasing intelligence—they shall be done. there will be no more of the present mad rush to the town. The sons and daughters of farm- ers will be happy to marry the daughters and sons of farmers. and life on the farm will realize to those who live it at all that artists have painted, all that poets have sung. And as these bless- ings come to individuals, the na- tion will gain with their gnin; the ASCOT * = will remain than ever before; the faith of our fathers will be justified and their hopes of an everlasting home of liberty will be The price has run up to} ' rong foundations of owr liberty unshaken, stronger} strengthened from generation to generation.—School Journal. —_——_—__~+-+<d> >— _— Stiff neck is caused by rheumatism of. the muscles of the neck.

Raleigh, April 22.—For several hours today the members of the State Board of Education consid- sidered the Mattamuskeet Lake situation—the problem of wheth- er the State Board of Edueation should undertake to drain it in eonjunction with adjacent land- owners under provisions of the state drainage act of the recent legislature, or sell the state’s in- terest to some corporation which would undertake the drainage, there being fifty thousand acres of land that successful drainage would make available as especial- ly fertile farming lands. C. H. Carter and S.-S. Mann, who are large landowners who would be benefited by the drainage were here today urging that the state board undertake the drainage on its own account with a $300,000 bond issue instead of either ac- cepting an offer of $60,000 for the fifty thousand acres of the lake bottom or farming out the drain- age work on the basis of one fourth of the benefits of the drain- ase work to go to the state and three fourths to the corporation undertaking the work. The whole situation was gone over today and it is probable that final action will bee: report corn, beans. -- to be growing fine these pret- Ss days. Mr. E. M. Purdy spent Sunday | here with Mrs. Purdy who is sick at the Sanatorium, returning to Lenoir this morning. Marriage license issued to Wm. A.

Mr. Mills’ interest com- prised one half the farm and Messrs. Bristol and Wallace now own the entire farm. The Cool Spring High School will close on Friday, May 28 with public exercises. Rev. Thomas Smoot of Wilmington will deliver the address. Mr. Smoot is a na- tive of Rowan county. Prof. D. C. Doggett of Guilford county is principal of the school. —— a oe The Mayor’s Proclamation. I hereby set apart, and earnest- ly request all of our people to ob- serve, May the 5th as “Cleaning up Day.”’ Let the lady of the house take the matter in hand (I fear we men folks would fail unless the women directed our efforts), and see that the entire premises are thoroughly clean, collecting all refuse, such as ashes, tin cans and trash of every description, into boxes and barrels, these boxes an“ barrels to be placed on their premises where the city wagon ean conveniently collect them. On May 6th, the city wagon, without expense to the owner, will com- mence the work of carting away all refuse so collected, and con- tinne until the work is com- pleted. If each person will comply with this request and use lime freely, the health of our community will be taken within the next few days, the question being one of vi- tal importance to the state in the | matter of getting the most reve-' nue possible from the swamp lands involved for the benefit of the schools of the state. —_—_——_~+< > ——__—_- ~The m: man behind the hoe is more | A happy hen will make a happy ! gan. be even better in the future than it has been in the past.

The divorce of edueation and re- ligion is thus accounted for by the present writer: ‘*Modern schools are an off- shoot from chuych schools, and parts of modern educational phil- osophy can be traced back to medieval times. The demand for popular edueation and for natural methods grew up within religion and several of the great prophets of the modern reform—notably Pestalizzi and Frpebel—have looked upon it as distinctly relig- ious. Nevertheless, education became independent. It based itself upon psychology and child study, not upon Bible, church. or ereed. It thas built up a set of principles of its own without stop- Ping to ask what bearing they may have upon religion. We have to deal, accordingly, with two apparently unrelated theor- ies, the religious and the pedagoe- ical, and with two independant practical activities, those of the ehureh and those of the school. This was perhaps inevitable. For religion being the most construc- tive factor of civilization has been relatively slow in assuming a fi- nal attitude toward the rapid ehanges of the modern world. That the whole of education should wait for official religion to assim- ilate the principle of modern life was seareely to be expected. Church and state became separat- ed or else lost the close union of former days; modern democraey was born and grew to a giant: modern seience gave us a new The demand for religious educa movement as a whole has consist- ed in the working out of certain pedagogieal aspects of Christian belief.’’ To quote again. ‘It follows that the entire body’ of modern edueational principle is adapted to the specific work of training religion.

Govd Cough Medicine for Children. | Te The season for coughs and colds is! now at hand and too much care can- not be used to protect the children. A child is much more likely to con- tract diphtheria or scarlet fever when he has a cold. The quicker you cure his cold the less the risk, Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy is the sole reliance of many mothers, and few of those who have tried it are willing to use any other. Mrs. F. F. Starcher, of Ripley, W. Va., says: “Y have never used anything other than Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy for my children, and it has always given good satisfaction.*’ This rem- edy contains no opium or other nar- ecotic and may be given as confident- ly to a child as to an adult.

But I got along; fairly well until last week, when to straighten out a bad curve I found that we would have to buy a few feet from the farm that adjoins our right vf way. The moment I set eyes on that piece of ground I saw that I was going to have trouble with the owner, for upon it was a newly made grave. 1 hated to approach the man, but a railroad ean’t afford to be sentimental, 50 I put the case before him. “What” he cried. ‘Disturb those hallowed bones’? “<1 am sorry,’ I answered, ‘but it is absolutely necessary that we huve the land that the grave is on.’ “Well, the old man protested with tears in his eyes and threatened to take the matter ioto court, the last thing that I desired to do, as I wouldao’t eare to say what a jury would do after a lawyer was through with them. i argued with him and finally got the Jand that we desired by paying him five times what it was worth. “ ‘Now,’ said 1 after the papers were passed, ‘I suppose you will remove the remains at once.’ “ ‘Guess not,’ sald he. “*Well, I guess you- will! said 1} sharply. ‘That land belongs to us now. “ ‘Waal,’ he drawled, ‘I don’t suppose the ole hog what’s buried thar cares whether he is removed or not.’ “Say, that old sharper had buried nothing there but a measly hog and then shed tears over the hallowed bones till I weakened. “Well, it was on me.

J., wrote that the Livingston Avenue Baptist church was going to dispose of its fine collection on account of the open- ing of the new Carnegie library almost at its very doors. Mrs. Jenkins saw the opportun- ity, and remembering the gener- ous spirit of the old flock, made her plea. In a few months, Mr. W. R. Reid, superintendent of the Sunday school, with the utmost grace, forwarded to Mrs. Jenkins about 500 volumes of choicest lit- erature. The books had been carefully selected from standard writers, embracing travel, mis- sions, biography, history, and a great variety of stories for chil- daen of all ages. Perhaps no Baptist Sunday school in the state has a better eol- lection. And it is difficult to te il whether the old folks or the chil- dren enjoy it most.—C. A. Jenkins in Biblical Recorder. ++ Farm Life Should be More Profit- able and Attrpctive. But we cannot hope that the more ambitious of our country people will continue to live in the country unless their children can be given an equal chance for cul- ture and training in the country schools, and unless they can be taught to make farming more profitable and farm life more at- tractive. If we would keep the best o! the country people in the coun- try we wust find a way to bring the best of modern civilization intu the country without foreing the country people to leave the country to get it.

Plans which were formulated be fore the panie will be carried out without further intermission. This work was begun some time ago, and much has already been done. There are a number of connecting links, however, wiheh must be connected up, and it is on these linKS that work is now being done. The double tracking of the road from Lynehburg to Diemont, Va., has been resumed, as has also the double track from Asheville to Craggy, N.C.

Frederick, Md., April 25.—A pair of monkeys received from Cuba by W. L. Maurier, a mer- chant of Blue Ridge Summit, es- caped from their cage and for several hours took possession of the store. The animals were large and, appearing angry, Mr. Maurier and his clerk fled, leaving the place to the simians. Pandemoni um reigned in the store while the monkeys were at liberty, and a crowd of people gathered, but were atraid togo in. The clerk in the postoffice, which is in the same building, barred the doors of his office to protect himself. Frank Cummings, in asisting to capture the monkeys, fell from the counter and broke one of his legs. _—-—-——_-2+ Good Roads in Catawba County. About three hundred of the best farmers in the county gath- ered at the court house Saturday to hear Dr. Pratt speak on good roads. Dr. Pratt’s speech wasa good one and created consider- able enthusiasm. Mr. A. P. Gil- bert, of Durham, agent for rick Company Road Machinery was called upon and gave an enthusi astic, practical talk which was listened to with interest. Hon. W. A. Self being called out wasen thusiustically received, andmade a strong plea for Leginning the work just as soon as possible. It was indeed a notable gather- ing of earnest enquirers for infor mation on this subject which is uppermost in the minds of so many of our people. In all under. takings like this the beginning is the hard part. After this work is begun you could no more stop it than you could stop the flow of the tide. We confidently expect the Com missioners at their next meeting to set in motion the work by at least granting the request of the Farmers’ Union in lending aid in the grading avd draining the roads.—Catawba County News. -——__~<++@r o> — -—-.

Washington Herald. | In Australia there was recently | discvovered an extraordinary fiber of marine growth, which, by rea- | son of the vast amount of the de- | posit, and the remarkable quali- | ties of the fiber, is expected to anee. This fiber is the result of the| sea grass botanically known as Posidonia Australis, and so far has been found only in Spencer Gulf, South Australia, where the shed- dings have been imprisoned by the action of wind and waves in the sand flats of the gulf. Over 100 soundings of the de- posit have been made in different spots, and on every occasion the fiber was found, sometimes a few inches under the surface, at other times a foot or more, varying in color and fineness according to its depth, and there would appear to be millions of tons available, the accumulation of centuries. The bulk material in which the fiber is imbedded is found to be easily worked, and it is claimed that the proportion of fiber recov- erable is cne ton to every twenty of the bulk material dredged. The cost per ton of rough dried fiber on board the dredge is estimated at 15 shillings ($3.65), and from the dredge it can be taken by ten- der daily to a near-by port and there dried mechanically, classifi- ed is necessary; dumped, baled, and shipped to amy part of the world. by experiencesh ra | sH — hrdau The uses of the fiber are found by experiments made by eompe- tent persons to be many and vari- ed, and it possesses many unique qualities. It wil lspin and weave in union with wool, and will also take dye equally well, being so far as is known, the only vegetable fiber to do this. It is practically noninflammable ats charging point being 372 degrees Fahren- heit). and is to that extent a non- conductor, unlike cotton. It does not shrink, and has more resilience than kapok. It is also found to be as good for ship ealking as oakum. Blankets and cloth woven of a mixture of wool and this fiber, to- eether with samples of the fiber in various stages of production, from plant to yarn, are now 0 nview in the sample of one of the leading house in Australia, and the manufactured articles are be- ing most favorably commented upon by those interested in the textile industries. On account of of its splendid dyeing properties, it ean also be used in the making of carpets, also for eoir matting, hessian, bagging, woolpacks, and it appears diffienlt to say to what other uses, with proper machin- ery, it cannot be put. room 0000000000000 PHOTOGRAPHGRS @ When You Need Photographic Supplies Call On Us White Wing Art Co. 549% Center St. e Over Ramsey-Bowles- Mortison Co.’s Store, Statesville, N.C. bersburg township was before Judge King this morning in which Mary Hoover was the plaintiff and @ Alva ‘Murdock the defendent.

Any quality or quantity of stone is available and that heavy drafts are to be made upon these great quarries is evidenced by the fact that while the main offices are to remain in Salisbury branch offices will be established in New York, Washington, Cleve- land, Ohio, and a half dozen other cities in the United States with especial provisions in the charter for offices in Toronto, Canada. The establishment of the Cana- dian offices is significant in that the Esson Company is to branch out beyond the domestic business with the Easter concerns that have heretofore controlled the for- eign trade. Mr. W. H. Esson, the moving spirit in the organization of this big concern has been a resident of Salisbury for eighteen months and has done as much if not more than any one man to exploit the Rowan granite. A native of Scotland he was for some years a resident of Canada. He came to Salisbury to investigate the gran- ite fields of which he had heard so much and was immediately convinced that mines of wealth had been untouched in Granite Quarry and vicinity. He has been a valued addition to Salis- bury’s commercial life and his latest and most important achievement in th: organization of this great company will be good news to the entre country. —__—__ <1» Norwood Inn Buyhs.

Oar System of Soil Wasting is Criminal—To Neglect the Maintenance of Soil Fertility is Not Only Poor Business policy, But a Crime Against Future Generations. It seems hard for a great many of our people to distinguish the difference between a system of real farmnig and the prevailing system of cropping, yet there is a vast difference. The one system means the handing down from generation to generation of a con- stantly improving soil. No one knows how long this may go on, because no one as yet knows the real capacity of an acre of soil. We do know, however, of soils in the older countries that have been farmed years that are supposed to be richer today than when man took charge of them. When we realize that this little thin crust of soil may be needed for ten thousand years yet to pro- duce food with which to feed the inhabitants of our world—with the chances favorable to an in- reeasing population all the time— the real significance of what a constantly improving soil means becomes apparent, and our selfish system of soil robbery begins to take on the aspect of criminality. In plain English, it means starv- ing our descendants; and for a few extra present dollars we do not, any of us, wish to lay our- selves “hablé to such a charge, I am sure. All men with any man- hood at all are desirous of doing some good as they go through the world, and it is to such men that the writer of this has endeavored to appeal for a number of years, through the Progressive Farmer and by other means, to take up live stock along with their other lines of farming, because, from quite an extensive personal expe- rienee and rather careful study of farming conditions over a goodly portion of the United States he firmly believes that only through the use of live stock can a profitable system of farming continue on the average farm, and at the same time preserve and increase the fertility of that farm. in our thousands of great foun- dries. We stand with hats off and wonder at the vastness of it all and forget for the time being that all this wealth and greatness depend entirely upon the thin covering of powdered rock and humus that we eall soil, and back of this soil, upon the farmer on whom the whole burden of it all rests. vi~ Earnest Giroris.

No woman who _ has a house that is clean need ever be asham- | ed of her furniture. = : ' The man who begs your pardon means about as much as you do when you grant it. ‘*‘T wonder if I look as nasty when I eat,’’ said a man today. ‘‘as other people look to me.’’ We wish we could hibernate during sumer and winter and live only during the spring and fall. So many men carry large life insurance thése days that getting rich by marrying widows is be- coming quite an industry. . It is all right in books for a girl to have a lover who worships her from afar, but outside of books she wants him to come a little nearer. PP. Another thing to be called in is the sentiment about ‘“‘sleeping in a valley so sweet’’; every cem etery we ever saw was perched on top of a high hill. When a woman hears that the school teacher says her boy is a bad boy she goes to the school- house to scratch the teacher's eyes out. But when a woman hears that her husband is a bad man she tion of what she has long suspect ed. accepts it as confirma sii Cost of P1pduction the First Con- sideration. Over-enthusiastic supporters o| the various movements for the eontrol of the price of cotton too often lose sight of the fact that a product ‘‘well bought is half sold.’’ On one occasion we heard the leader of a great cotton grow- ers’ movement seriously declare that we knew enough about mak- ing cotton and that all the South needed now was to get the worth of her great staple product. We should not miss any opportunity to strengthen and improve our marketing, but it is the height of absurdity to neglect the produc- tion side. The man who makes his cotton for 6 cents a pound, no matter how high the selling price, has just 4 cents a pound greater profit than the man who makes it ata cost of 10 cents. Likewise the man who makes a bale to the acre will make a greater profit than the man who makes but half a bale. It is, therefore, nonsense, if not something worse, for any{ man to claim that we know] enough about making cotton al- ready so long as it requiies, on an average, two and one-half acres of land to produce a bale of cot- ton. We have much yet to learn about marketing crops but not more than we still need to learn about producing them. The lat- ter is largely an individual mat- ter, while the former is almost en- tirely one of co-operation. The one we can do without the assist- anee of our fellow-producers, while the other is largely beyond our individual influence. The one requiring combined individtal in- fluence. The one requiring com- bined action is, therefore the more difficult to accomplish; hence, let no one neglect an opportunity to give his aid to any movement which will make for co-operative action in the marketing of the South’s profitable results, let us not fail to produce our cotton at the least possible cost by making the highest possible yield per acre —The Progressive Farmer.

I have a business friend who is as modest and as gentle as a wo- man, says O. S. Marden in Sue- cess Magazine, who is never ob- trusive of self-assertive, but who has a most remarkable way of getting people to see things his way. He does it without any noise or pretense. He does it as the tender germ of the daffodil hits its head up through the hard turf, by gentle persistency No one feels conscious that this man is trying to influence him, or to get him to do a thing against his will, but somehow, most peo- ple about him find themselves do- ing what he wants them to do. He is so delicate in his diplomacy, so gentle in his tact, and so strong in his self-confidence that others find themselves agreeing with him without really knowing why. He has a large number of em- ployees under him, yet no one ever hears him raise his voice in anger or assertive authority. He is so gentle that strangers often won- der how he manages to have any discipline; and yet everything goes like clockwork in his estab- lishment. His employees respect him. like him, because he is al- ways kind, considerate and never scolds, frets or nags; but they know that when he gives an order or makes a suggestion it must be obeyed. c ———_~+<+2-e—__ The Income Tax Getting Popular. The proposition for an income tax grows steadily in popularity, President Taft himself being now said to favor the plan. If all the Democratic senators support it, it will require the addition of only sixteen Republicans to pass the measure. Senator Bailey’s bill levies a tax of 3 per cent on in- comes over $5,000, and yet it is es- timated that it would yield $60,- 000,000 to $90,000,000 a year, or one-third to one-fourth as much as our tariff duties. Senator Cum- mins, Republican of Towa, has in- troduced another bill, somewhat different, providing for a grad- uated tax—that is, the larger the ‘income the higher the percentage lof tax. In some shape or other, one of these measures is likely to | pass. | But, some one reminds us, the ‘supreme court in 1895 declared | the income tax law unconstitu- tional ; and this is true.

Mr. Brown was slightly stunned but was alright ina few minutes. Very little damage was done, the harness was broken in several places which was soon mended and Mr.‘ Brown was on his way to town.

The general rule throughout the county is to work the roads just before the term of the superior court. It is true that some people have business in town officers only on such occasions most folks use the public high way between courts, This is preliminary to saying that the public roads ought to be repaired whenever they need it, court or no court, and the only way to secure this is to change the entire system of working them. Most put in no more time on the roads than they have to (and perhaps most of us would do the same,) and the reason many of them work at all is that they are afraid of beine reported for not doing their duty. Under overseers this system we cannot hope to Keep the roads in good repair.

But eannot this same individual who has fo pay the tax go and work the road (as he would have to do if there was no tax) and take the money he gets for working and pay his “tax with it? And nine times out of ten he would have some left.

One wooden spoon sufficing for entire families, newly born children clad only in newspapers and the levv of taxes even on chickens killed after the Jewish customs, areamong the revela- tions made in a report on fnfor- mation concerning the Jews throughout Russia which the State Department bas made pub lie. The report is from Spencer F. Eddy, American minister to Rou- mania, who was formerly chrged -ulfaires at St. Petesburg. It was in response to request from the State Department in 1906 to the American embassy forsuch infor- mation from time to time, that the department might be able to act wisely on the appeal! for relief of the Jews there. A striking fea- ture of the Eddy report is the reference to the extreme poverty in the agrarian colonies estab- lished for the Jews. “One wooden spoon has to suf ficeforan entire family,” says Mr. Eddy, “as the cost of one tur each member of the family cannot be born, and yet a wood- en spoon can be bought for 1% ceuts. There is a maternity hos- pital supported by charity in St. Petersburg itself, where it is a common occurence for women to Wrap up their newly-borno eaild- ren in newspapers when leaving the hospital, simply because they cannot afford to buy even a peice of flannel cloth suitable for tae purpose.” Ut the 9,009,000 to 11,000 000 Jews in the world, Mr. Eddy estimates that 5’140,C00 live in the Russian Empire. The number of the Jews prac- ticiug law is limited to 10 per cent. of the lawyers throughout the Empire, so that it is rather difficult for a Jew to abtain ad- Mission to the calling, says the American dipomat. The profes- Sion of teaching is forbidden to Jews, whether in government in- stitution for learniag or whether In privata school. Special taxes are paid by the Jews apart from the taxes com- Mon to all subjects. General taxes are assessed on ail anim- als killed for food. Mr. Eddy says that the Rus. lan polat of view of the Jewish Problem tn Russia is a religious leelisg while the point of view Of the Jew ig purely ethical. He Says the religion of the members O'the Orthodox Greek Church teaches them that the Jew is ‘stot to be looked upon as is & lellow-Christian, “and the severe tenant of the Christianity Of three centeries ago still hold the people of the Russian Ew- — irom the highest to the low- St. _ “The Jews are not taking the ill-treatment and oppression with peace and resignation,” Concludes Mr, Eddy. “During the last twenty years their op- Position, while unorganized and Misdirected, has none the less eas . str 2ng and so unquench nes at neither prison nor bods _ “ting nor the waips of the Sacks nor transportation to ithe fatherest iimits cf Siberia nor eveu the death penalty itself has been eble to keep them quiet They seem just to hope that the near future will bring the same betterment of conditions tm the Jew asit bids fair to bring to the Russian people generally. 24 Clean Up. The idea of a clean up day i has been so productive of splead. id results in every city and town which it has adopted it, and Siv- en such satisfaction aad so much greater cleaniness has prevailed that has become quite pepuiar. Salisbury had a clean up day cn the first of April in which the lawns and back yards cf athous- and homes were cleaned up by the school children. The Civic Improvement League of Charlotte also hada generai cleaning up day. The schoc] children there were enlisted in tt e} work ard « prize of tilty dollars was Offered for the largest pile of trash evilected, the trash to be removed by the city gar! a_e w: «| gons.

The best day’s work that cau bedone by the civic section of the wo- man’s league in any place is the work done onaclean up day, and there should be @ clean up day every time there is any sign of dirt. ———e CASTORIA For Infants ani Children.

Through the association char- tered by the legislature last month, an effort will be made to preserve the Home of the celebra- and Daniel Boone on the banks of the Yadkin river in Davidson county. The site of the home is on the plantation of Mr. Philip Sowers who has agreed to give the association a grant to the property. The association directors as named by the legislature are Philip Sowers, of Rowan; J. fh. MeRary and G. F. Cockran, of Lexington; Col. F. "A. Olds, of Raleigh; Hon. John S. Henderson and A. H Boyaden, of Salisbury. Many visitors go to the Boone Zo0one home every year and the purpose of the association is to keep the premises in condition an drestore the cabin, in which the hunter spent many years of his life, to the original site. In this connection there is a deed made by Daniel Boone and wife, Tegis- tered in the office of the register eounty. The great of deeds of Rowan deed bears the signature of Boone but only the mark of his wife. Daniel Boone immigrated fron Pennsylvania at an early age to the banks of the Yadkin river. There he met, wooed and married Rebeect Bryan, a Scotch-Irish and for several years they lived on the banks of the Yadkin and afterwards emigrated to Ken- tuckey with sons and his oldest son being years old when they left the Yad- kin valley for Kentucky. Now in re building the Boone Cabin, the writer wants to place one log in that eabin, and suggest to many others around to place one also.

The very reputation of having an ambition to amount to some- thing in the world, of having a grand life-aim is worth every- thing, Says a writer in Success Magazine. The moment your as- sociates find that you are dead- in-earnest; that you mean busi- ness; that they cannot shake you from your determination to get on in the world, or rob you ef your time or persuade you to waste it in frivolous things, you will not only be an inspiring example to them, but the very people who are throwing away their time will also admire your stand, respect it, and profit by it, and you will thus be able to protect yourself from a thousand annoyances and time-wasters, and experiences which would only hinder you. In other words, there is every- thing in declaring yourself, in takina g stand and thereby an- nouncing to the world that you do not propose to be a failure or an an ignoramus; that you are going to take no chances on your fu- ture; that you are going to pre- pare yourself for something out of the ordinary, away beyond mediocrity, something large and grand. ; The moment you do this you stand out in strong contrast from the great mass of people who are throwing away their opportuni- ties and have not grit and stamina enough to do anything worth while, or to make any great effort to be somebody in the wrold. —_—_+<2-—____ black-eyed lassie of seventeen daughters. seventeen from Fireman’s Horible Fate Selma, April S3.—Fireman H.
