NOT RILED BUT GENEROUS
Editor Matthews, of the
Windsor Ledger, is surprised at j
the criticism of its neighbor, the
HERALD, in recent editorial
squibs. The lawyer-editor ac
cuses us of being "riled," and
only to that statement do we
take exception. A little sarcasm
is mixed with his admission that
his paper has been commended,
by reproductions of its edito
rials, from all parts of the
State. We share with the broth
er his elation and evident pleas
ure at being 'copied'. Frankly,
the HERALD feels kindly to
wards its neighbor, the Ledger,
and the management of this
paper has something akin to a
personal interest in Bertie's on
ly newspaper, remembering th
? at upon several occasions have
we been approached by citi
zens of Bertie, including the
present editor of the Ledger,
asking that we conduct a week
ly newspaper for Mr. Matthews
people. #
No, we are not 'riled;' we of- ,
fered the neighbor brother a
little bit of advice, born of ex
perience (six years of it). Our
criticism was of the construc
tive sort?the kind which off
ers something to replace that
which is criticised. Were we in
clined to offer the destructive
kind, Mr. Matthews's paper al
so might offer a good target;
but not so, for our neighbor is
new in the newspaper field. In
cidentally, we commend to him
a freer use of the constructive
kind of criticism in dealing with
men and principles. Even tho
sarcastically admitting that 'it
is the last word on the subject
as how to run and especially ed
it a country newspaper," our
Windsor contemporary refuses
? - . * s
to heed such good aavice, as
the HERALD'has been dispos
ed to give him.
As a matter of information,
as well as to satisfy Mr. Mat
thews why we wrote "at this
particular time" the HERALD
would offer a sustaining alibi,
since it was only recently plac
ed on the Ledger's exchange de
partment, through the kindness
of a brother of the editor of
the HERALD, who laboured in
the Windsor office during his
recent vacation.
Our advice already given in
the previous issues was abso
lutely free; and, like the old!
adage, Mr. Matthews thinks it
is worth about half what it cost.
However, Mr. Matthews is a
novice in newspapering; and
will probably never reach the
heights he could, except by a
whole-time devotion to his new
spaper.

No man or woman who eats neat regu

The moment you feel a dull ache in the
kidneys or your back hurts, or if the
urine is cloudy, offensive, full of sedi
ment, irregular of passage or attended
by s sensation of scalding, get about four
ounces of Jad Salts from any reliable
pharmacy and take a tablespoonfnl Li
a glace of water before breakfast for a
few days and your kidneys wfl! then set
fine. This famous salts in mads from
the acid of grapes and laaaon juioe, com

generations to flash clogged kidneys and

Fall Hay, According to Re
Raleigh, Oct. 17.?A light
frost in the piedmont and coast
al sections of North Carolina
are reported and a killing frost
in the mountain areas are re
ported by the county agents to
the Crop Reporting 8eivice for
the week ending -October 10.
The weather bureau reports fa

reparations for towing the
wheat are going forward andi
foU plowing is making satisfac
tory^rogfess. The harvesting
of corn is well under way, the
crop ? being entirely harvested
in many areas. Most of the cot
ton crop of the state is open at
this time and is moving to the
markets in large volumes. The
unusually warm weatner in Sep
tember and the crop is being
gathered rapidly. The market
ing of tobacco, which is prac- M
tically all harvested, is in full
swing, sales are reported as ve
ry moderate. Late gardens are
being planted in some of the
southern piedmont counties and
the truck is reported to have im
proved in Forsyth, but the crop
is generally poor. A great deal
of nay has been harvested, the
crop being below normal in its
yield and ranging in quality
from fair to poor. Pastures are
improving some what but in the
most localities the fields were
permanently ruined by the re
cent drought and the rains late
ly have-not benefitted them.
Cattle are reported to be in
Heed of pastures and in some
piedmont areas tobacco scarce
and thin, but they average fair
to medium over the state. Hogs
are normal in supply and in the
condition.
Farm -work generally is up
to-date and harvesting of all
peanuts, cotton picking are also
in progress in the eastern sec
tion of the state. Cover crops
are being planted.
