of the fellows. With this spirit and
the coaching of Thompson, who for
the past five years has helped A. and

How To Get More Out Of
Your Hay Crop
WHETHER you feed or sell your hay, it should be baled.
Baled hay takes up much less room and nets a better
price than loose hay. It is always ready for any mark-
et at top price, while loose hay must be sold near home, at what-
ever you can get. --ti .,;
H HAY PRESSES
have many points of strength, simplicity, and convenience found
in no other presses. They are equipped with a compound lever
and a toggle joint plunger, which gives them great compress-

The bed reach is only inches high and very narrow. The

IT WILL PAY
Tobacco Farmers, Handle Your To.
With Care.
Standing on the warehouse floor a
few days ago, a buyer remarked to
me that he had just bought some to-
on the floor that was grown
by a very good farmer, but that the
way it was graded and put on the
market damaged the sale of it from
two or three cents a pound. Said this
are frequently making
suggestions to the tobacco farmers
which I think are good, if they would
observe them, but you could not do
anything that would pay them so
well for the amount of expense and
trouble as to get them to handle
tobacco In this sentence, this
particular farmer happened to be a
man who has perfect control of his
farm, and if he were to exercise him-
self, could have . his tobacco
in just such condition as to de-
the best market price, when
I reminded him of what the buyer
had said about his tobacco, his
mediate reply don't doubt
it; for I could tell at a glance that
my tobacco was not handled as well
an the other tobacco on the floor, and
called the attention of my tenants to
Tobacco should be graded and
hung on sticks in proper order, and
then when put in bulk, the proper
way to make it look well when put
on the warehouse floor is to have a
wide, heavy board, and as each stick
of tobacco is bulked, straighten out
the leaves and press it down with
this board at the end of each day's
grading. The tobacco ought to have
a reasonable amount of weight on it,
so that the leaves are all straighten-
ed out, and if offered in this
on the market, the leaves all
stand out straight and show to the
best possible advantage. Neatness
all things on the farm pays and
pays well, but in no particular In-
stance do I believe it would pay bet-
than in the particular manner of
handling tobacco.

Large Number of Friends And As.
Gather With Him.
The 19th of September was the
fifty-fifth birthday of our townsman,
Mr. H. Bentley Harriss, and much to
his surprise his good wife went about
making preparations to have a
of his friends enjoy a few hours
with them on this date. The dining
room was most artistically arranged,
the decorations being of golden rod
and scarlet sage. There were fifty-
five burning tapers, representing the
fifty-five years of his life. A
cued pig occupied the space between
the burning candles, bearing the
dates 1856-1911.
There was a guessing contest as
to what the pig represented, in which
all the guests participated. Mr. R.
W. King being the successful winner
in guessing was
with a box of cigars. Dr.
Laughinghouse, being the winner of
the booby prize, was presented with
a box of cigarettes.
The table was presided by
the hostess, Mrs. H. B. Harriss, and
her sister, Mrs. W. J. Turnage, and
the good things served were too nu-
to mention. Every one pres-
enjoyed to the fullest the
and all wish Mr. Harriss
many more years of prosperity and
happiness.
Those present were Messrs. J. A.
Lang, W. J. Turnage, W. M. Moore,
J. C. Lanier, B. F. Tyson, E. H. Shel-

Help Enforce Prohibition.
If you want to see North Carolina's
prohibition law respected as it should
be, even by its enemies, then let its
friends get in after the blind tigers
and put them out of business. If our
officers are careless about enforcing
the law, then get in after the officers
and make them do their duty or put
them out of office. But if, on the
other hand, they are disposed to do
their duty, give them all the support
and backing they need. If the friends
and advocates of aw can not be
depended upon to help enforce it, to
whom are the officers to look for
support when the test comes Don't
them when they have tried
to enforce the law, but have fallen
short of what you may have expect-
ed or demanded of them, but give
them only the more loyal and ear-
nest support and thereby encourage
them to a more and faithful
performance of duty. Her North
Carolina we are too much given to
depending altogether upon the
to enforce the law while we stand
off and instead of backing
them. This is one reason why there
are so many unpunished of
the prohibition law in our state.

fifty-sixth annual convention of the
American Association of General Pas-

sessions here today with Colonel
Samuel Moody, passenger traffic man-
ager of the Pennsylvania railroad,
presiding. The convention will con-
for several days. One of the
timely topics to be discussed is the
recommendation that railroad pas-
be charged extra for using
high-class equipment. It has been
suggested that a quarter of a cent a
mile be added to the price of
for a passenger using an observation
or a parlor car. In support of the
proposal It is contended that the rail-
roads expend large amounts to fur-
this class of travelers fast train
service, luxurious surroundings, and
special attention of various kinds.
The association will thoroughly dis-
cuss the matter, but any action it may
take will be purely advisory in its
nature.

A MAX WHO HELPS OTHERS.
Mr. Joyner's Contributions Widely
Copied and Read.
That Mr. O. L. Joyner, president
of the Farmers Consolidated Tobacco
Company, is a recognized authority
on the tobacco situation and
topics, is shown from the fact
that his contributions to The Re-
are widely copied by trade
papers, both tobacco and agricultural
journals. His recent communication
advising farmers to sell their to-
on warehouse floors, has been
taken up by the tobacco journals es-
and given broad circulation
for its wisdom and soundness. Ever
since Mr. Joyner became identified
with the tobacco industry as a ware-
houseman back in 1891, he has not
only labored personally to do what
he thought was best for the tobacco
grower, but also with his
through the press, has given
timely information and advice to the
farmers that has been of
able benefit to them. And the farm-
never go wrong in following his
advice.
Probably more men would retire to

I Was Delivered By Caesar and Con-
of One Word.
Julius Caesar holds the record for
brevity of convincing speech.
The story is told that while Caesar
was in the. midst of his struggle for
the mastery of the Roman empire the
soldiers of his favorite Tenth legion
He appeared before them,
and, uttering the one word
paused.
That word means, of course,
but to the veterans to whom it
was addressed it meant a great deal
more. It was the special term used In
addressing Roman voters assembled in
a purely civic capacity, not as soldiers
but as civilians.
To the mutinous soldiers it meant
that the great commander, whom they
had followed for ten long years from
the Alps to the Thames and from the
Rhine to the Pyrenees and across the
Rubicon, disowned them as soldiers
and dismissed them from his
service.
Realizing its meaning, the story
goes, the mutineers were appalled,
veterans burst into
tears, implored their leader to pardon
them and infected summary punish-
upon the inciters of the mutiny
as a proof of their repentance.

while crossing a field near Kan-
City Sunday.

Swanson Sets Precedent.
Until former Governor Swanson
was nominated for the United States
senate by a big majority at the re-
cent primary it had been the case in
Virginia that after a man filled the
chair he was never
again honored by the people. In sup-
port of this a contemporary

of Virginia have aspired to
election to the United States senate

cherished ambitions to wear the toga,

rants.
Lee. and Governor

aspirants in 1893, but both w e beat-
en. Governor was known to
have senatorial aspirations
when he was governor, but he guess-
ed wrong on the currency question in
1896 and was hopelessly out of the
running thereafter. Gov. Tyler was
a candidate for the senate in 1899. In
1905 Governor Montague, who had
been working during his entire term
as governor to insure his election to
the senate ii 1905 and in whose sup-
posed interest the primary agitation
was begun and that plan of
devised, was beaten in a
primary for the senate.
long array of precedents had
given rise to a popular belief that the
governorship was the door to
cal retirement in this state. It has
remained for Mr. Swanson to break
this hitherto unbroken line of
dents and win the coveted honor be-

N. C, Sept.
the door was shut, securely locked and
barred. Once I was In the state
on, or on farm, for that is
where the authorities send most of
the common clod hoppers because
tilling the soil Is more In harmony
with what all such were intended for.
But I was a trusty from the time I
reached there until I left. They
even allowed me to eat at the same
table and to occupy at night the same
building with the superintendent of
that farm. In fact, in some cases
my edict was more rigidly obeyed
than was the command of the super-
But I tried never to abuse
my privilege because they allowed
some freedom. So day after day
I went on enjoying the freedom of
all that surrounded that vast farm
with its mules, its fine cows and
pictures of hogs. I watched the clover
grow, the vast acres of cotton spring
from that fertile soil and take on
its different stages of development;
the corn, how proudly it leaped up,
spread out its long green blades and
waved its golden tassels in the sun-
light, then the white and red hair
or silks shot out from where the
blade Joins on to the stalk. Beauty
Yes, If any one could look on such
a farm and not sigh for a life of lib-
I can't understand his make-
up.
But, alas, this a place where
to most of these men there was only
a dream of the past. Day after day
had seen those men In their striped
clothes march out at the first glimpse
the sun in the morning, and at
noon march back to eat their meal
and rest one hour, and then at the
tap of the bell march back to their
work twenty in a squad, ever watch-
ed and strictly guarded. At night
in the same manner they were march-
ed back, and into the stockades they
went and the gate was shut Then
to his bath each one must go, after
which each in regular order repaired
to the table and partook of his meal
without a word. If he wanted more
food his hand went up and it was
given him. Supper finished, then to
the stronger walls each one must
march, and there they were counted
and the door was shut, securely lock-
ed and barred. This looked to me
as though it was hard to bear, but
I did not, nor could I, realize what
it meant until one afternoon I was
real busy in the ward and did not
think about its being the warden's
afternoon off. It was his business
to see that all the prisoners left in
were locked up before he left So
when I finished my work and went
to the door to make my exit, behold
the door was shut and locked. It
was then that I was more anxious to
get out than I had ever been; not
that I had any special business out-
side or that I was afraid of any of
the prisoners, but I was locked in
and knew that I must stay there
the warden returned. Miserable
I was for three hours that seemed
like weeks to me, except, the shadows
of night did not hover about me while
in there securely locked.
Since then I have thought how
many men, towns and communities
allow the door of opportunity to be
shut, and barred against them, yea,
and their children, because the
warden, which is the hand of
warned them that unless they
get out and get a move on them the
door will be shut And still they
heed not the warning, many afraid
that if they move forward they might
help some one else; others refusing
to move out because they were born
crying and out of sorts with the whole
world around them; others hold the
two dollars, the first they ever made,
so close to their eyes that they can-
not see a stack of gold if it were
just in front of them.
I have in mind one town, or at
least it might have been a town, for
tall and broad mansions and even
palaces were built, and almost, if not
j-11 of the aristocrats of the county
moved there and money was lavished
to beautify and adorn each home. A
town where only those who lived in
luxury and ease were allowed to
dwell. Horny hands of toil were ex-
from what the dwellers there-
in supposed was an ideal place to
dwell. But their dream of happiness
and bliss was of short duration. Soon
envy and strife sprang up among
them as to which could outshine the
other, and then one by one they be-
to look for other parts, until
the last vestige of that once
place had vanished and today
only dudes and other creeping things
therein dwell. The door was shut
and they were miserable. Why Be-
cause God ordained that the poor and
the rich should dwell together in
brotherly love and each be a support
for the other. It takes the mud Bill
to build a structure for a mill. It
takes the grimy faced miner to dig

As Make It More Productive.
Every farmer owes it to himself,
to his family and to posterity, to take
the best care of his land that he
can; to maintain its fertility
and to keep it from washing away.
Investigators, whether scientists or
practical farmers, have found that
winter cover crops of any kind
vent land, in a large measure, from
washing, and when turned under the
following spring make it more pro-
than if no crop had grown
on it
An experiment covering a number
of years, in one of the north western
states, showed that more plant food
was lost from the land during the
months when no crops were grown
on it than was taken off in the reg-
summer crops. If this was true
in that state where they have long
and cold winters when leaching is
impossible for weeks at a time, how
much more could It be true in North
Carolina with her open winters when
plant food can be leached from our
soils almost any week, during our
winter months.
A ton of green rye contains, ac-
cording to good authorities, about 6.6
pounds nitrogen, pounds phosphor-
acid, and 14.6 pounds potash. A
ton of green wheat contains 10.8
pounds nitrogen, pounds phosphoric
acid, and pounds potash. Green
oats contain just a little less plant
food than does green wheat. A ton
of green crimson clover contains 8.6
pounds nitrogen, 2.6 phosphoric acid,
and 9.8 pounds potash. Red clover,
bur clover and the vetches contain
more plant food in their green state
than crimson clover does. The wheat
and rye mentioned above was prob-
ably grown on fertile land which ex-
plains their high percentage of
for it is an established fact
that crops grown on rich land con-
more nitrogen than when grown
on poor land. For that reason grain
grown on rich land has higher feed-
value than that grown on poor
land. It may be well for us to re-
member this when growing grain for
our own feeding purposes.
Rye, wheat and oats take nitrogen
from the and store it in the plant,
thus saving much of costly
of plant food that would other-
wise be leached from the land by
our winter rains. The stools or
bunches and their roots and leaves
retard the now of water and act as
brakes which will prevent to a large
degree the washing of our rolling
lands. The save the land
from washing in the same way and
in addition to this are beneficial by
being able to take nitrogen from the
air through the agency of bacteria
which adds to the fertility of the soil.
But to grow these latter crops
the soil must contain the
bacteria peculiar to the particular
crop grown.
It has been the experience of many
of our farmers that any crop grown
after a winter cover crop, when turn-
ed under at the proper time in the
spring, and well before and
after turning, will produce a great
deal more, often as much as per
cent more, than if no winter cover
crop had been grown. The seed for
a cover crop will cost from one to
five dollars an acre according to kind
and quantity of seed used. This
should save to the soil and add to
the next year's crop more than twice
the cost of the cover crop.
Sow at the rate of to pounds
crimson clover seed per acre and
cover lightly with harrow or
These can be sowed in grow-
crops, on stubble land, or after
Sow from to pounds of
vetch per acre, if sown with small
grain, and if sown alone put from
to pounds per acre. Rye should
be sown at the rate of one to one and
a half bushels per acre.
An application of manure, or from
to pounds acid phosphate per
acre and to pounds of
potash on sandy or gray land, will
be helpful to the clovers and vetches.
For rye or other small grain it may
be better to add per cent nitrogen
to the above.
It is now time to commence put-
ting these crops in. When put in
cotton fields it is better to sow
mediately after the pickers, as in
that way no cotton will be knocked
out in covering the seed.
Put in the crop that will succeed
best in your locality and experiment
with other crops in a small way
you are assured they will make
satisfactory growth on your land and
under your conditions.

ELECTRICAL DEVELOPMENT.
The Reflector has recently been
saying something along the line of
electrical development and the great
possibilities to come from it. The
South is making great strides in this
direction, and in this connection It
is Interesting to note that the Daily
Bulletin of the Baltimore
Record, reports the organ-
of a great company with a
capital of to develop
electricity in Georgia. Several local
electric and water powers have been
acquired, and starting out from At-
all the surrounding country is
to be electrically connected and sup-
plied with power.
North Carolina is waking up along
this line, and through it can be seen
the greatest development ever dream-
ed of. The day is coming when not
only all our power for manufacturing
and other work will be supplied by
electricity fed from great central
plants, but a great network of inter-
urban trolley roads will bring all
towns and communities together
most like one great city. The Pied-
section of the state, and as
far eastward as Raleigh, is being
covered with this electric power, and
the towns and country further east
offer too Inviting a field to be left
out. It is coming down this way and

PRICE OF PICKING COTTON.
Mr. E. E. Hilliard writes timely
article to the Scotland Neck Common-
wealth In regard to the want of an
understanding among farmers as to
the price for picking cotton. He
Farmers should have a thorough
understanding in each community
concerning the price for picking cot-
ton and should, under all
stances, abide by it. It is altogether
unfair for any farmer to send his
wagons around where the cotton
pickers live and make the offer of
five cents per hundred more than
are giving and
squad of cotton pickers from one
man's field to another, and in the
interest of community harmony, I of-
fer the plea to the farmers of Scot-
land Neck and community, that they
will all abstain from such course. If
it becomes necessary and right to
raise price for picking cotton, let
It be understood among all, and let
all raise alike at the same time.
Whatever be the price let us all pay
the same thing together and thus be
fair each to the other.
The Baltimore Ohio railroad has
adopted a policy of giving out re-

paper calls up for information one

public has a right to have and it will
be given, and accurately. Other roads
might well afford to adopt this pol-

Likewise the government shows great

Foxhall and The Star.
I want to say to the tobacco farm-

no better sales have ever been made
on the Greenville market than arc
now being made every day at the
Star warehouse, and my patrons re-
that they can receive the high-
est dollar for their tobacco when
selling on the-Star floor.
You will find every one connected
with the Star knows and attends to
his own business. You will also find
no better lighted warehouse in the
state, and that everyone associated
with me, appreciates the patronage
given us, and that nothing is left
done for the comfort and convenience
of our patrons. These reasons, to-
with the fact that the Star has
always led in high prices and is to-
day leading, should convince every
farmer who can possibly sell at
Greenville, to bring his tobacco to
the Star warehouse.
All this talk about the Star lead-
in high prices only because it
sells the best tobacco raised, is made
to deceive the farmers. While it is
true that I do sell a large percent-
age of the best tobacco sold on the
Greenville market, it is also true that

of tobacco.

ex-Senator Eugene Hale, of Maine,
has been known for years as
of the most powerful defenders
of ultra protection.
In October, 1910, it was announced
that work of the tariff
was to be at a series of
banquets. Then for three months the
banqueting campaign occupied the
time and attention of the board. The
two most important banquets at which
the members of the board were wined
and dined were given by the Ark-
wright club, the leading association
of high protection manufacturing of
the country, and the National
of Wool Manufacturers, the wards
of Schedule K. The plan adopted for
estimating costs is the plan which,
at the dinner given by the
of the wool schedule, Emery
was advised to adopt. That plan
practically amounts to The
tariff board will supply the woolen
manufacturers with a sample of wool-
en cloth and a card, and the
will patriotically jot down
their version as to the cost of man-

It was a year after the board was
created before it started to
gate the manufacturing end of the
wool tariff. And this is the board for
whose report all tariff revision must
held up.
Government by Stealth.
The Taft administration is even
popular with the army of government
in Washington. While
they are not saying anything pub-
the government clerks are bit-
because of the many rules
under Mr. Taft, which inter-
with their personal liberty and
deprive them of rights guaranteed to
all citizens by the constitution itself.
the clerks should protest against
their conditions, even to congress,
they would lay themselves liable to
discharge. The object, of the
in resorting these harsh
gag rule methods is to prevent a
leakage of information injurious to
the Republican party such as occur-
red in the Ballinger case.
The following official order signed
by George Otis Smith, director of the
geological survey, gives an idea of
Russian-like censorship attempted in

So far as is known among
newspaper men in Washington,
so drastic as this in the way of
press censorship was ever attempted
before in America.
Taft's Opening
Senator Cummins, of Iowa, has
formulated a bill of particulars
wherein President Taft has offended.
Some of the president's offenses cited
His position on the
rich tariff law, his position on the
bill for the further regulation of in-
common carriers, his
on the change made in the postal
savings law, his attitude on the con-
and disposition of our public
domain, his position on the proposed
income tax law, his position on the
Canadian reciprocity bill, his work
for the peace treaties, his vetoes of
the woolen schedule, the free list bill
and the resolution admitting New
Mexico and Arizona as states. This
list embraces nearly everything in
independence in nine
years This is the definite promise
contained in a joint resolution father-
ed by Judge Cline, of Indiana,
which resolution Speaker Champ
Clark declares will in all probability
be passed by the house this winter.
Judge Cline's plan provides that the
Filipinos shall be permitted to elect
the upper branch of the
legislature in 1915, adopt in 1917 a
constitution to be by the I
United States, and then comes the
definite promise that by July, 1920
nine years United States
shall withdraw sovereignty over the
promise made to five members of
congress on the statehood question
has never been explained.
In the early days of the extra
five members of the committee
on territories visited the president and
laid before him the draft of a
admitting New Mexico and
Arizona into the union as states. The
resolution provided that the recall
proposition should be submitted to
the people of Arizona and that the
majority should decide whether it
would be wise to retain it in the
Arizona constitution or not. The bill
was so framed that neither congress
nor the president would have to go
on record as to merits of the re-
call. President Taft gave every con-
present to understand he
would sign this bill. The committee.
Republicans and Democrats alike,
left the white house with a definite
understanding to this end.
These members made the statement
on the floor of the house that the
president had agreed to sign the bill,
and it was passed by both houses of
congress. But the president changed
his mind and vetoed the bill. He has
not yet explained why.

PLAYS AND
PLAYERS
Music
It is not an unusual thing for the
writer of a book or play to visit the
country in which he desires to locate
the plot of his work, but for two song
writers to do so in order to be able to
write a song true to nature is going
some. For this reason Percy
and Edward Madden, the writers of
and publish-
ed by Jerome H. Co., spent
two weeks in Honolulu getting the
atmosphere and color for their new
Hawaiian song. My Hula Hula Love,
That they will be amply repaid for
the time, trouble and expense
ed is already assured, for the Bong
at once became a phenomenal
in New York, Chicago and
ton, where It has been Introduced by
some of the big stars. The
music is wonderfully sweet and catchy
and Mr. claims that it is
similar in some of its measures to
Hawaiian music. Since Hawaii has
become one of the possessions of the
United States, very little of its music
has been heard here, but Messrs.
Madden and have made a
collection of the music and legends
of that wonderful country and Intend
to embody it in a new comic opera
shortly to be produced in New York
by a syndicate. The chorus of My
Hula Hula Love embodies a few words
of language of the Hawaiians, which
adds to its novelty and attractiveness.
CHORUS.
Hula, oh Hawaii Hula, smile on your
own
Moon shines above, sweet jungle dove;
For you my love song is ringing, for

All signs point to a hot fight in
Texas for the seat of United States
Senator Joseph W. Bailey. Among
those who are expected to get in the
race are former Governor Thomas N.
Campbell, Congressman Morris Shep-
and Governor O. B.
A spirited contest is in prospect in
Oklahoma. Senator Owen, whose term
will end a year from next March, will
be a candidate for re-election. His
chief opponent will be former Gov-
Haskell. A third candidate is
Justice Williams, of the Oklahoma
Supreme court, who believes that the
fight between Owen and Haskell will
be so bitter that a third candidate will
have a good chance to capture the
toga.
The governor of the new state of
New Mexico will receive a salary of
a year, while the governor of
the sister state of Arizona will draw
but a year. The governor of
New Mexico will be elected for four
years, while the governor Arizona
will hold office but two years. The
Arizona executive, however, may be
re-called for a second term, while the
constitution of New Mexico makes the
governor and other state officials in-
eligible for re-election.

On The Eve of Reciprocity.
Canada is in the thick of the most
spirited and far-reaching campaign of
all her political history. The gage of
battle is the reciprocity pact, already
ratified by the United States and
championed by the Liberals of
the Dominion. On next Thursday, the
ballots of the people will determine
whether or not this great policy, with
its cementing influence upon friend-
ship and trade, is to be carried into
effect.
Interest in the outcome is scarcely
less intense in this country than in
Canada. Many months ago it be-
came clear that the rank and file of
American citizens are heartily In fa-
of this reciprocal agreement for
freer trade. And in no corner of
the United States is this feeling
than in the South. For, reciprocity
will not only stimulate important
southern Industries, but it is also
one of the oldest principles for which
our Democracy has contended.
Nor is there any considerable
as to what the outcome will be.
Under the leadership of Sir Wilfrid
the premier, the Liberal party
represents today, as it long has, the
dominant force of Canada's thought
and sentiment Among the farmers,
its strength especially pronounced
there is every likelihood that the
rural vote will go almost solidly for
this agreement. It is believed also
that the Maritime provinces will, for
the most part, support reciprocity.
Certain manufacturing centers will
probably oppose it. But in order to
defeat this policy, the Conservatives
must change the political complexion
of thirty-five seats In the parliament,
and, according to all careful estimates
this is a virtual impossibility.
Sir Wilfrid has openly charged that
certain industrial trusts of the United
States, who have fattened upon the
high tariff system, are pouring money
into the Canadian campaign. Having
failed to beat the measure in con-
they are now striving to buy
its defeat in the Dominion. But no
one believes that the people of Can-
will sell their own and their
country's welfare.
According to the present outlook,
the pact will be overwhelmingly rat-
at the polls next Thursday. In
that event, it will receive the govern-
formal sanction within the
next few months and before the year
ends, Canada and the United States
will have entered upon a new era of
mutual friendship and prosperity.

WASHINGTON, X. C, Sept.
last Sunday Rev. Nathaniel Harding,
the beloved rector of St. Peter's
Episcopal church, this city, celebrated
his 38th anniversary as rector of this
church. Large congregations were
present at both the morning and even-
services, and at the morning
ice the same hymns and entire service
that was used years ago was used
at this service. Rev. I. W. Hughes,
rector of Holy Innocents Episcopal
church, Henderson, preached the an-
sermon. At the night
ice Rev. If. A. Barber, of Christ's
church, Raleigh, delivered a strong
sermon. Both sermons and services
were enjoyed and appreciated by large
congregations. At the night service
Mr. Barber, previous to beginning his
sermon, made a number of graceful
and appropriate remarks relative to
Rev. Nathaniel Harding and his long
and successful pastorate of the local
Episcopal church. Mr. Harding is
the oldest pastor in the city and is
well beloved by hosts of friends not
only in his own church, but through-
out the city.

The Greenville Banking Trust Co
In the State of North Carolina, at the close of business, September
A FOOL THERE WAS.
A fool there was, and he had a place,
Where he worked each day at a print-
case.
His fingers nimble, his movement
quick,
And the type flew quickly in his stick;
His work well done, his kept
sleek;
He drew a steady eighteen a week.
One day in the office he saw the boss
Making an estimate; figuring cost;
One dollar an hour for the
time
Went down on the sheet; said he,
fine,
Eighteen a week is all I get;
There's money made on that work,
I'll
So he said to himself, open a
shop,
To reap of the profits a larger crop.
I'll count composition at half that
cost;
And land many orders the boss has
lost.
So he went to the bank and drew out
his hoard
And bought the best outfit that he
could afford.
He worked with energy day and night
At prices the poor fool thought were
right;
Forgetting that types wear out some
day,
And for their replacement there's
money to pay;
That rent and fuel and light and
power
All add their share to the cost per
hour;
That his plant grew less in value each
day,
And fire insurance was also to pay;
That the money invested should in-
bring,
As it would if invested in some other
thing,
That his pay-roll counted nine hours
a day,
But only for six his customers pay.
That the salary he drew was but pay
for his work
Which he surely earned now, for a
loss he don't shirk.
A fool there was, and many perhaps,
Of these deluded, and misguided
chaps
Not only but are today,
Still grinding on in the same old way.
With their nose to the stone, at a
rapid pace
Losing the cash they'd saved at the
case,
nut an end must come, and who can
tell
How soon the poor fool will be up

Bailey's Retirement

retain his seat for another term. Like
Senator Hale, of Maine, last year, and
probably from the same misgivings,

no time would Senator Bailey's
retirement have caused less regret
throughout the country. His public
career has been disappointing. When
he entered the house in 1891 at the
age of he immediately command-
ed attention. Of handsome appear-
a facile and forceful speaker,
who passed for an orator, with gifts
of intellect of an unusual order, he
was altogether a brilliant and attract-
figure. At thirty-four he was the
nominee of the Democrats for speaker
of the house. In 1901, at the age of
thirty-seven, he was elected to the
senate, a promotion fully by
his talents and his record.
the last ten years Bailey's
reputation has been steadily crumbling
away. In 1907 he had a hard and
bitter fight for re-election to sen-

year if he bad not given timely notice

Bailey has trifled away his

the courage or the conscience to be
frank with his constituents in regard
to his private relations with Standard

sheer perversity he made himself a
constant embarrassment to his party

pursued by a band of revenue officers.
In bis flight for safety he soon
bled upon the northern bank of Deep

in sight; he could not swim, Uncle
Sam's men were close behind him,
and he knew that if he let the officers
catch him Judge Connor's court was

On came the revenue officers follow-
the moonshiner's track to the
brink of the river. The officers re-
waiting on the river bank for
half an hour, but no sign of the
moonshiner appeared. They
ed at last that he was a sorcerer who
had vanished into thin air. Then they
disappeared and the moonshiner, who
had been under water all this time,
breathing through his reed, came
out. He managed to keep under cover

DECIDE FATE
NUTATION At A
The Canada Has
Witnessed in a Long Time.
OTTAWA, Out. Sept. The hot-
test political campaign Canada has
witnessed the days of Sir John
and the -National Policy
was brought to a whirlwind finish
n day with rallies and
in virtually every city, town and ham-
lot from the Atlantic to the Pacific.
Tomorrow the electors throughout
the country will express their
preferences and on their verdict
depends the fate of the Liberal gov-
which, under the leadership
Sir Wilfrid been in
office for fifteen years, and also the
fate of the proposed reciprocity pact
With the United States, from which
Sir Wilfrid stands sponsor.
If Sir Wilfrid returns to power, the
reciprocity bill will be passed soon
after the re-assembling of
next month, and at an agreed
date both Canada and the United
States will put the necessary tariff
changes into effect.
if the opposition wins a majority,
Robert L. its leader, will be-
come premier, reciprocity will be
dropped and Canada will remain a
tariff country desirous of con-
present tariff relations
with the United Slates.
The polls will open at o'clock to-
morrow morning and close at
o'clock in the afternoon. Unless the
voting at huge is unusually close it
is expected that the outcome will be

campaign is the last in which
Premier will participate, ac-
cording to, his declaration made at
beginning of the struggle. If he
wins the contest, he will hold office
continuously for a longer period than
Sir John MacDonald.
The campaign has been hotly con-
tested in ail the provinces, and
conditions in certain sections
of Dominion are regarded as
highly favorable to Liberal party
the result cannot be accurately fore-
casted. Upon the whole, disinterest-
ed observers seem inclined to the
opinion that the government will ear-
the country by a reduced ma-

eve of tin- elect ion are about as fol-
The opposition declare they
will gain seats from the government
in the
New Brunswick and Prince Ed-
ward Island-in Quebec, Ontario,
Manitoba and British Columbia,
while Saskatchewan Alberta will
remain with the government as at
present. The Liberals, on the con-
maintain that they will increase
their large majority in the
sections of Quebec
and the provinces, and will
make gains in Ontario through-
out the West.
Practically the reciprocity agree-
United has been
the sole issue of the campaign. The
Liberal s i ml speakers
have d its advantages,
while the opposition denied its
material ; the com-
lo i I limit- to the commercial
unity and mil independence of
Canada, a.; a towards Con-
and as a far step tO-
separation from the mother
country.
The Conservative campaigners have
Confined themselves largely to the
sentimental side of the reciprocity
question. The British flag, the
of British connection
and protests against closer re-
with the United States have
formed the basis of Conservative
speeches. The Liberals, on the other
hand, have sought to keep the fiscal
aspect of reciprocity to the front and
have accounted as the
of the Conservatives that
will lead Canada away from
England and to the United States.
It is conceded that if the
have succeeded in convincing
a majority of the electors that
tends toward annexation the
government will b defeated. It like-
wise seems certain that if the govern-
speakers have satisfied the
annexation is impossible,
the government will be returned by
a substantial majority and the
agreement ratified.
province of
Quebec is regarded as the pivotal
province in the election. Here Henri
the opposition nationalist
leader, has vigorously denounced
Premier as too imperialistic.
Through his paper, Le of Mon-
and in speeches, he has de-
that betrayed
independence to Great Britain
by enacting a law for the creation of
a navy, which eventually will lead to
the conscription of the young men of
Canada.
In addition to the con-
opponents of the govern-
return are Clifford

Child's Nose Cut In Two.
Late Tuesday afternoon a little son
of Mr. D. L. Smith, one of the rural
mail carriers out from Grimesland,
was playing in the yard with a tin
bucket. The little fellow fell over
on the bucket, striking his nose
across the chime, and cut his nose
in two. He was taken to a physician
in Ayden for the wound to be sewed
up.
Three Things for Men.
There are more than three, of
course, but C. T. wants to
impress the fact that his big store
is especially strong on three things
for men and boys.
When it comes to clothes, he has
the Smart Clothes, that
stand at the head of the class. They
are of the right quality and shades
for fall and winter, and they are made
right. The man or boy in one of
these suits will look right.
Then he has the 5-ply linen collars
and cuffs, the very best made, and
they can be had nowhere else.
Lion Brand shirts are known every-
where and are not surpassed by
any. The man or boy does the right
thing for himself in going to Mun-
ford's for these articles.
Tell the average man a joke and he
will say, reminds Then
he'll get busy and you will have to
listen, and it servos you right.

HOW EASY IT IS
TO FOLLOW ERROR
A MISPRINT IN S. S. SERVICE.
And Preachers, Through Force of
Habit, Oiler Strange Prayers.
HANRAHAN, N. C, Sept.
few of us, even those who read, ever
stop one moment to think on what we
have read.
In the Methodist literature each
month has an opening service laid
down. The opening service for Au-
gust among other things had a verse,
a couplet of this verse read something
like
I can cool one ache or
Then I shall not live in vain.
Evidently the author of these lines
wrote, or intended to say, soothe one
ache or pain, but a typographical
error made him say cool Instead of
soothe. During the past month I
attended several Sunday schools that
used this opening service, and each
and every one read it just as printed,
s I can cool one ache or
Without a wonder the Methodist Sun-
day school of your city read this for
the whole month of August without
once thinking that a pain is not
something to be cooled.
A while ago I heard a preacher get
up and preach a powerful sermon,
urging sinners to repent and be
ed just now and made much effort to
impress all who had not accepted
Christ that now is the day to accept
Him and to be saved. And then he
called the congregation to prayer
and made a most feeling prayer and
wound it up by asking God for Christ's
sake to at last save us all in heaven.
When he his service I
asked him when a man was saved
He said when he confessed Christ
and accepted Him as his Savior.
Then I said why do three-fourths of
your preachers always wind up your
prayers by asking God to save us at
last He said of habit; we
did not Just as many who
are called on when the husband has
been taken and a widow left, I have
heard preachers of note pray that
God would be a Father to the father-
less and a husband to the widow;
God cannot be, and has never prom-
to be a husband to the widow.
He can and has promised to be a
Father to the fatherless and a friend
to the widow, but not a husband.
So in my last, my bad copy and
not the operator, made roe say that
dudes and other creeping
things existed where once stood a
town built up entirely of the
racy of that I meant to con-
the idea that that town was en-
depopulated by all human be-
and that only doodles, little
insects that live in the sand, and other
creeping things now inhabited that
once proud and beautiful town. And
not that the offspring of those
were dudes and creeping things.
The Rev. S. B. of the M.
B. church, south, closed a series of
meetings at this place last Sunday
night. He reorganized a church, re-
claiming part of the old members
that were scattered like sheep with-
out a shepherd when the church went
down. He also received four who
had never been connected with any
church. Quite an interest through
his earnest preaching had been
aroused among our people, but he
had to close his meeting here Sun-
day night to begin a protracted meet-
at Gum Swamp. May much good
be accomplished.
