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.

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. O. L. JOYNER. ANNIVERSARY OF H.

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.

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. Henderson Gold Leaf. Late Melons.

At eight o'clock last evening, at the residence of his daughter, Mrs. Annie Green, in the 84th year of his age, the spirit of Col. J. B. passed in the Great Beyond. Only a few minutes before his death he seemed in unusual good spirits, chatting with his family and neighbors. The end came suddenly and peacefully for fell on At this afternoon from St. Timothy s Episcopal church the fun- was held, attended by a large con course of friends and relatives. The services were conducted by Rev. Ed- wards, the rector of the parish. As a mark of respect to his the court house bell was tolled a half hour, from to while the services were being conducted.

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.

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.

Ingle carried an umbrella with a steel rod. He left his home to walk across the field to his work at the Morris dairy.

A man never realizes how many faults he has until he gets married then his wife tells him. 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 times In recent years gov- of Virginia have aspired to election to the United States senate after or during their terms or have cherished ambitions to wear the toga, even if they were not avowed rants. Lee. and Governor were both voted for as s 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- fore the people over a man of ability and one who had a scat, in the other branch of Ledger Dispatch. Mr. S. James Dead. Mr. Reuben S. James died at home, three and a half miles north of Bethel, on the 9th inst., after a long illness, having been confined to his bed near two years with Bright's He was about sixty-five years old and left a widow and seven children. He was a substantial farm- a good citizen and a hard work- useful man.

ft f-i Carolina Home Farm n The Eastern And the Three Hours Seemed Like Weeks THE DOOR WAS SHUT AND BARRED Some Towns, Like Individuals, AI- The Door of Opportunity to Bo Closed Against That Poor and Rich Dwell Together. 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 the coal to warm the king's palace. It takes the brown, sunburned, horny- handed farmer to produce the with which to furnish the table. The factory girl can be a lady and still go daily to her loom to weave the cloth that must clothe the rich and the poor.

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. T. B.

FRIDAY. SEPTEMBER 1911. 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 we should get in line for It. -o- 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- liable statements concerning all dents and other matters of news value in which the public are interested.

This does not mean that prohibition is abolished in that state, nor does it give the liquor sellers the privilege of getting into business We would like for Greenville folks to read this over two or three times, and then put it away to read some more. It sounds just like it might have been written for it It is singular how so many people will yell themselves hoarse rooting for the home ball team, who would not give a dollar to establish a new industry here, nor would they bother to suggest to friends contemplating removal that this would be a good town to live in. The intense partisanship manifested in any athletic sports in behalf of the players indicates a large sentiment of home loyalty. It is tin unselfish sen- excellent far as it goes. The men on the bleachers do not get a nickel addition to their wages be- cause home boys win. Of course in some cases the cheer- men may have money on the game. Yet our observation is that the bet- tor is too worried to cheer. It is the man who wants the home team to win from simple home loyalty that makes the noise. Why is it that this most commend- able sentiment is so abounding under such circumstances, and so lacking when there is still more vital need for its expression. The cities that have grown powerful, wealthy, that have be- come great centers of industrial life and cherished locations for residence, have become so because some small group of men loved the soil of those localities, longed to have them true to high Ideals, had faith In their had the self sacrifice to keep pulling all the time for business and civic advances. And they had no time or breath to spend in mere criticism. The mainspring of this action is a home patriotism differing only from that of the crowd at the ball game, in having a bigger field for Its We may not all of us do big things for this city.

People raise a cry against Spanish bull fights because of their cruelty, yet have little to say against races that kill scores of men.

I want to say to the tobacco farm- of Pitt and adjoining counties that 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 the Star leads them all on all kinds of tobacco. Bring me your next load, and I will show you that the best sales are made at the Star. F. D. FOXHALL, Manager. LAWYER'S OPINION. Welcomed Jail.

Clyde H. WASHINGTON, Sept. his swing around the circle President Taft will tell the people it was for him to prevent a of the cost of living by vetoing the tariff bills, because the tariff board hadn't reported. Here is some tariff board history that the president will probably not refer The tariff board was created Sept. 1909. On June 1911, twenty-one months later, congress called for whatever data the board had collected on the cost of manufacturing wool, and was informed the board had to report. What was the tariff board doing during these twenty-one months Soon after the appointment of the board, its chairman, Henry C. Emery, established headquarters in the ate residence of Frederick Hale, son 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- will patriotically jot down 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 one That no interview shall be granted without curing from the person soliciting the same a promise that he will, before submitting the material to his cation office, present a copy of his manuscript to the director for 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. Philippines and permit the Filipino people to establish an independent representative government.

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.

M AH HI ACE LICENSES. 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.

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.

Bailey's Retirement Senator Bailey's asserted intention not to seek re-election to the United States senate from Texas has caused widespread comment. He has for some time been one of the most men in America. still eighteen months to serve it is extremely doubtful if he could retain his seat for another term. Like Senator Hale, of Maine, last year, and probably from the same misgivings, he displays discretion in not courting says the New York World. 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- ate, that promised a harder one next year if he bad not given timely notice withdrawal from public life. the lack of sincerity Senator Bailey has trifled away his ties. At a critical moment he wanted the courage or the conscience to be frank with his constituents in regard to his private relations with Standard Oil With what looked like sheer perversity he made himself a constant embarrassment to his party in principle, he espoused the worst causes, made himself lead- advocate and voted for excessive protection when the tariff was under Ledger-Dispatch.

There was no bridge or boat 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 ahead of him and he would probably have to wear stripes the balance of his days. Ben in the heat of the chariot race with the Roman never made his plans more quickly or them more effectively than did this dispenser of Lee county corn juice. Somebody who had smacked his lips over his moonshine betrayed him but he would outwit the whole layout. With his knife he cut one of the reeds that grew on the bank of the Then be stopped up his ears and nostrils with wet clay from the margin of the stream, took the reed into his mouth and waded out into deep water, where he re- submerged, with upturned face, but allowing the upper end of the reed to project above the surface.

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.

If he wins the contest, he will hold office continuously for a longer period than Sir John MacDonald.

The Conservative campaigners have Confined themselves largely to the sentimental side of the reciprocity question.

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.

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.

Number 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. U-KNOW. The way we got dudes out of doodles was you put instead of STATE BOARD OF AGRICULTURE WILL AID PITT COUNTY FAIR. TAFT LAYS CORNER STONE.
