plow will do as satisfactory work
The disk will plow land when so
hard that it could not be plowed with
the ordinary plow but it takes more
than two 1,100-pound horses to plow
this kind of land with a disk.
The disk is also superior in v ,
ability to turn under large
ties of trash and where the land is
full of small roots the disk will do
work that it would trouble the mold-
board plow to do. With sufficient
force the disk plow will probably do
deep plowing better and less of the
raw soil will be turned up on top.
But with only two horses and
general farm work we would take a
good two-horse moldboard plow.

The of the State con-
is a problem that
been exciting the liveliest interest
discussion in political circles
soma time past. The report of the
13th census issued last week ha;
brought matters to a climax and some
sort of an agreement as to a re
alignment of will have to b.-
reached at an early date. Thought-
observers and keen students
events have been pondering the
over for some time past but a
vet nothing of a definite nature bar
been suggested. The most
review of the figures of the recant
census for North Carolina will show
that some kind of re-arrangements of
counties will have to be made. Al
lowing for the Increase in
population to the district, it will be
seen at once that several of the dis-
as now constituted will go far
beyond their allotment, while others
fall behind. This is noticeable
the case in fifth, ninth and
districts, which have made great
strides forward in population,
the third, first and second have fallen
beneath the allotment. And then tie
aggregate discloses the interesting
fact that the State will probably re-
another representative in con-
which will necessitate eleven
instead of ten districts.
The problem that is exciting such
lively discussion Just now is that of
the location of the new district a
the determination of Just what
ties it And then, too
there is animated speculation as to
what counties will be taken away
from too-populous districts and
what counties will be added to
that are too small. The last
of the State into districts w in-
made in 1900 or shortly thereafter
following the report of the h
census. In this decade that has el-
some of the districts have
grown faster than others and
the imperative demand for
re-arrangement.
The greatest gain in population was
made by the fifth district, which is
composed of the following count-s
Alamance, Caswell, Durham, Forsyth,
Guilford, Orange,
Rockingham. Stokes and Surry. Tho
aggregate population of these eleven
counties, according to the thirteenth
census Just issued, is or 150.-
above the allowed for
district representation years ago
Estimating that the pro figure
this time will be raised from
the years ago, to
for each representative, then the
fifth district will have above
the requisite number. On the same
basis, the ninth district, which in-

REV. J. H. SHORE PREACHES ON
CIVIC RIGHTEOUSNESS
TWO STRONG SERMONS ON SUNDAY
He Points Out Man's Duty to Got-
Officers of
Greenville and In Their
Stand for Law Observance and
Urged Their Support.
There are people In every
who will argue that it is the
business of a preacher to preach the
gospel. That is true. They should
and do preach the gospel. At the
same time the preacher who does not
take interest in the government and
civic righteousness of the community
he serves, and fails to instruct his
people along these lines, is not up
to the full measure of his duty and
opportunity. The preacher should
have an interest in all
civil, political, educational, and
affect the welfare of the
community in which he lives.
Rev. J. H. Shore, pastor of the
Methodist church, is one who takes
interest in these things. He has
times preached forceful sermons
along the line of civic righteousness
and a good effect upon the
has resulted. He preached two
such sermons Sunday, using the same
text for both, therefore unto
the things which are
and unto God the things that are
In these sermons he strong-
emphasized man's duty to his gov-
from nation down to mu-
and the importance of
men who are clean in character
and life to administer the affairs of
government. He-said there is a vast
difference In a statesman and a more
politician. Some declare that In
not vote for men but for
principles, yet he failed to see how
principles can be expressed and car-
out except through men.
Mr. Shore also referred to
ed conditions in Greenville that had
passed under his observation since
ho came here two years ago,, and
what lie had been told existed here
In previous years. He commended
the course of the mayor and alder-
men for the. stand they have taken
toward having the law observed, and
those newspapers, here and else-
where, that align
the forces for civic righteousness. He
made especial e to the large
number of North Carolina newspapers
that will not carry liquor advertise-
in their columns, and said the
people should give their support to
the officers and newspapers that take
a stand for morality and good gov-

Courtesy.
It has been observed by the sales-
man and advertising solicitor, that the h
larger the business and the more bu-
engaged the man at the head
the greater is the courtesy extended.
It is only the large concern dying
of dry rot or the small concern that
isn't growing that receive their call-
discourteously.
Have you ever noticed that the
lows who run most of the big con-
of the country are the ones who
always return courteous answers. If
you address the president of a rail-
road he will listen attentively and
make a decent reply. But ask a
civil question of the cub at the de-
pot in a country town, you will get a
smart and flippant reply. Go into a
big city store and ask for the man-
ager. He will talk pleasantly and
give you the desired information. But
happen to get in the way of the bright
young fellow who is washing a win-
and he will hand you a pack-
age that will make your blood boil.
But drop around years later and
the cub in the depot may have ad-
until he is a brakeman on
the local freight and the window
washer will likely be driving one of
the delivery wagons for the store.
The presidents of railroads and the
managers of big concerns are the
fellows who in the flowery days of
their youth acquired the habit of re-
turning soft and courteous answers.
That is one of the they be-
come railroad presidents and man-
agers of big concerns. The cub who
knows more than the president, and
the window washer will still
be polishing glass in the autumn time

suitable point in western North Car-

similar to the one in Greenville for
the eastern part of the State. Mr.
Allen's argument for such a school
is right and in keeping with

of this eastern school, that its success
should be followed by the establish-
of another In the western part
of the State. The central school at
Greensboro, the eastern school at
Greenville, and the western school
at some town in that section, are not
schools for the training of
teachers than the State needs. The
people of the west came to the aid
of the east in establishing the east-
school, and we -hope there is not
a single eastern representative in the
legislature who will vote against es-
a similar school in the

A Spending Money.
With only a little money to in-
vest, you can get only a few things,
therefore be sure to get the things
you most need and desire. Compare
the value to you of the different
things you can get before deeding
on any one of them. This is. one
rule you will to remember,
and there are two others which I be-
to be of equal importance.
The first of these Do tint spend
all your money. Keep a on
hand always. There may, of course,
be times when yon can not do this,
but, they will be few and between,
and you never know when you may
head your money more than do
at the -repent.
The other is; Learn to

What Did.
One Day at a Time.
It's easy enough to say,
always in mind,
sec a fair part of the money
get is-placed where it will help you
but every now and then
some of us get to thinking about all
the world we've got ahead of us, or
about some particularly hard thing
we have to do, and the first thing
we know we're up
our vital force in crossing bridges
before come to them. Some-
body has said that the thing we
about the most never happens.
One of the most helpful things to
remember when we get to worrying
over the future is the old fable about
the clock that got to thinking about
how many times it would have to tick
in the days and weeks and months
and years that were ahead of it. As
it calculated it all up the thought be-
came so appalling that the clock
stopped. Then someone pointed out
to it that it had to tick only one at a
time and advised it not to think at
all about the ticks In the future. The
clock found that one tick at a time
was easy, and so resumed its work
with ease and pleasure.
So we must remember that we
have to live only one day at a time
to meet the problems and difficulties
of only one day at a time, and when
we it that way it seems easy
enough. If we start to living a
whole month or a whole year in one
day, to borrowing trouble from the
future and bringing it back into the
present in a bunch, of course we'll
find it hard. If some of us knew
what we had ahead of us in the years
to come we should have nervous pros-

Recently I visited a farmhouse
that had been treated to just such a
general line of improvement and the
results were acquired an
of so few dollars that I wish
others could see and appreciate what
has been accomplished. Originally
the house was a four-room house,
two rooms up stairs and two down
stairs, and for years the kitchen and
dining room were maintained in an
old log house in the back yard. The
housewife had kept up the daily
round of house work in this
fashion for forty years, per-
haps. Tho young people in this farm
home have felt for some time that
the best, most strength-saving kind
of housekeeping could not go on in
this fashion. No member of the
felt the out-of-date, hard con-
more than the son, who is now
the head of the house. So about this
season just a year ago, plans were
drawn for the addition of an up-to
date kitchen and dining room, with
porches. The work progressed
through the winter when farm
work would permit, and I might add

Two delightful, airy, well-fin-
rooms and two porches are the
result of the winter's industry. It is
interesting to note that all the labor
of construction, the laying of beams
and rafters, was performed by this
man of the house, with the aid only
of two grown sisters. Even the ma-

trained mason and the bricks for the

made, beautifully fitted, have also

for Trouble.
When the farmers go to demanding
remedial measure it is time to take
notice. The members of the Farm-
Union of Mecklenburg are
circulating the following
We. the undersigned, petition you
to enact a law to prevent dogs from
running at large outside of
rated towns in Mecklenburg county.
We remind you that no farm
are permitted to
run at even poultry can
trespass on land, if the owner of said
land objects. We ask you to have it
made a misdemeanor for any one to
permit his dog to run at large and in
addition to the fine add a penalty of
to go to the officer securing tho
conviction. Also require all dogs in
the county to be listed for taxation
sheep or hogs are listed. All dogs
not listed for taxation to be taxed
three dollars. Make each person who
harbors a dog the owner of the dog.
Time was when politicians could
fool the farmer but since that
awakening back in 1894, the
aforesaid politicians have been more
careful. In fact, time was when the
farmer, or majority of them, want-
ed dogs, but they are better
and it is refreshing to see this move-
Discussing the petition the States-
Landmark moved to
The petition is proper, timely and
sensible. It ought to be circulated
in every county In the State. It
would doubtless secure many sign-
more than the public gen-
think. All these years tho
politicians have run away from a dog
law, under the idea that the dog is
held in such esteem that any
restricting his ancient liberty
would utterly destroy those
for it. This was probably true
in the past. Time was that the prop-
to prevent stock running-at
large almost revoked a civil war
it is yet so where a stock law
has never been enacted. But where
the law has been tried people now
wonder why they ever objected to it.
For years the Landmark has
ed that the dog is not near so popular
as he is generally regarded and that
a dog law on the lines suggested
would meet with much, if not general,
approbation. Sensible people who
want to keep dogs are willing to keep
them at home and pay taxes on them
and have them protected. The class
who want to keep more dogs than
they can feed and allow them to run
at large and on the com-
at once a nuisance and a
menace, deserve no consideration. If
legislators could get away from the
idea that a dog law is a political per-
and would consider the question
from the standpoint of the
good and common sense, such a law
would be promptly enacted. But so
long as the majority of the
is composed of aspiring
whose chief concern is their
own political fortunes, rather than
the interest of the people,
wholesome and helpful measures as
a dog law and others of similar
will be neglected.
We do not see why this measure
should not go through. Certainly, if
the farmer Is sick and tired of having
dogs devour his sheep, he should be
able to get this law enacted. As a
general thing people in the towns are
willing, for those having valuable
dogs do not mind paying tax on them.
There is no further reason for
of the legislature being afraid of
the dog; the farmer is him and
that should end

of that conflict in recognition of hie

the youngest commissioned officer in
the army from North Carolina. Com-
home at the close of the war he
clerked for two years and then work-
ed a year in the shingle business.
In his father's landed estate
was sold, and young
bought it at going in debt
most of it. Many thought at
the time he had made a big blunder,
he had only about to
and run the farm. His conduct had
boon such as to merit him all the
needed, and being possessed
of plenty of energy and
he had plain sailing. In the
course of time he paid for his farm,
and made much improvement on it
from year to year.
He married in 1870, and raising a
large family was among the other
good things he did for his county.
A few years ago Mr.
house sold this farm for He
had purchased another small farm
near his in 1891, paying for it.

When he was actively engaged in
farming, his tobacco crop alone for
many years was from to

knew how to manage his hands, and

After he came into Governor

scrubbing of the floor can now be
done with very little labor. This
again shows their inborn desire to
avoid labor, which is one of the great
blessings of man. In fact, as one
looks around and these devices
for lessening labor, I think it will
be discovered that in almost every
case they were Invented by the lazy
Yankee, who wishes to avoid work
entirely, if possible, and put it off on
horses and machinery, at least to
make it extremely easy.
The Yankee even puts a comfort-
able seat on his plows and cultivators
He goes so far as to cultivate two
or three rows at a time. What a pity
it is that he does not follow the man-
fashion of walking after a
horse and sharing this healthy labor
him. lazy methods fail to
develop his muscles and may event-
lead to indigestion, feeble men-
tally and an early death.
If one believes in the nobility of
work should he not pity those who
try to avoid it so industriously, and
to make everything so easy that it
hardly seems like work.
If one believes in the nobility of
labor, is it not logical to decide to
drive as much work as possible to
men, and not turn over work to the
noble horse, or the lowly mule.
surely one's heart must be filled with
pride at knowing that in one of our
counties where they own a road ma-
chine they do not use it because, if
they do it gives work to fewer men.

Alas how often the mother's sac-

herself and she robs her children.

When she devotes herself to her

Dynamite Exploded In the Well

and was tamping down the charge of
dynamite with a when It

Medlin, who were helping cautioned
Love to be careful, and were getting
away from the top of the well when
the explosion occurred. Though the
well was feet deep, masses of rock
were hurled out of the top, and one
went through a large plank at the
top. The men above had no idea
but their companion below had been
blown to atoms but he called to them
to take him out. He had be

Senate Committee Does Not Sustain
Charge of Bribery Against Him.
By Wire to The Reflector.
Washington, Dec. 21.-The senate
committee on privileges and elections
today submitted to the senate the
evidence taken in the investigation
of the charge of bribery against Sen-
and that in their
opinion his title to the seat in the
senate has not been shown to be in-
validated by the use or employment of
corrupt methods or practice. The
report fully vindicates say-
if there was any bribery there
was nothing to show that he knew
about it, and that if all charged with
bribery were guilty it would not have
changed the result. With this con-
and finding in their report,
the committee requested to be dis-
charged.
