successfully in this immediate sec

A look at a five-acre lot of cotton on
ihe farm of Mr. Walter R. Harden,
just outside of town, would change
that notion. It is waist high to a
tall man—rank and loaded with
squares—a fine sight. With plenty
of moisture and no early frosts it
should make a great jield.

large circle of friends and acquaint

Thursday, Bth inst. He was past
70 years of age. He was a son of
the late William Stafford, was born
and reared in this county and

professional standing and for many
years enjoyed a fine practice. Several
years ago his health became very
mnch impaired and he went to
Florida and spent a year or two; but
he never became strong enough to
resume active practice. Up to two
or three years ago he lived in Bur

for many years. Then be bought a
farm near Oaks and gave it such, at
tention as his health would permit.
Aside from being a learned phy
sician, Dr. Stafford was well versed
in literature, In his younger days,
before the burdens of his profession
grew so heavy, he was a composer
of verse.
His remains were interred in Beth
lehem churchyard in Orange county
on the Saxapah'tw-Chapel Hill road.
He is survived by his widow, who
is a sister of Col. Robert Bingham

An Interesting; and Patriotic Aged
Man of German Descent.
| Some time ago I wrote a few
lines for publication concerning
Mr. Yancey Tackle, who lives iu
Alamance county, six or eight
miles from Burlington. He is
nearly ninety-four years old, and
has not been doing so well lately.
As his pastor, I went to see him
the othgr day and found him bet
ter, sitting up, in his room. We
talked about his health, his name;
looked over some old papers to see
how the name was spelled iu 1818.
It was spelled "Tackell," which,
with the umlaut over the "a"
would make the pronunciation
"Teckell;" but he says "Tackell"
and we say "Tackell."
- lie had a United States fllag—
'Old Qlory"—spread out over the
backs of three chairs iu his room.
The flag is three by s x feet. lie
had ordered it aud paid three
dollars for it. I made some re
marks about it, and that started
us on the Germans and the war.
He said his father and grand
father came from Germany, bnt
that he himself is au American;
and, if he were younger, he would
be iu the midst of the shells aud
ballets and gas. I do not doubt
buM>bat be would, if he could.
The question came up as to
what be would do With the flag he
had there in the house. His folks
aud I thought the rain and sun
would fade it if put up outside,
and we tried to get him to let it
be put upon the waT? of the room
or front porch; but he would not
hear to that. He slid it had to
float from a long pole, out in the
open, In front oi the house, where
his neighbors could see it and know
where he stood.
His grandson had sllready brought
a long pole from the creek bot
tom; so we had a llag raising, with
the aged, patriotic man sitting in
his chair on the porch. When we
had lifted it high and were placing
the long pole in a secare place, at
first the flag hung limp; but, di
rectly the flag floated it* full
length in the breeze, and the
man lifted his hand and saluted.
Then we had devotions, and I left
for home.

THRIFT AND DEMOCRACY.
After the War Readjustment, Sav
it»*». Patriotism and Thrift.
Again.
S. W. Straus, President of the
American Society of Thrift, recent
ly made a speech in Pittsburg,
and among other things he gave
expression to the following
thoughts worthy of most serious
consideration :
'The time is rapidly coming in
America when every employer must
see not only that hi* employees
practice-thrift but the'.r eond.tlon
of employment are such that they
can practice it
"The dollar sign is passing as
the insignia of ruthless power," he
said, "and the day is dawning when
it shall stand also as the symbol of
pretection for the weak and help
Ihe worthy.
"We have come Into a new or
der of things. The dby of right
by might la ending. This war
marks the darkness that precedes
the dawn of universal Democracy—
a Democracy that shall be lifted to
the lofty level of brotherhood.
"Into the statesmanship, the pol
itics, the business of the day that
is breakingg Just ahead, w~ll come
out a new spirit—a spirit of hon
esty, generosity and gentleness.
"The statesmanship of the world
will be successful only in so far as
it is honorable and Just. The poli
tician who achieves success will at
tain his ends by worthy deeds
alone. The business man must
stand on the broad ground of great
brotherhood. The attitude between
employer an'i. employe wl 1 be that
of man to man, and hot master and
slave.
"Every man must practice thrift
and every man mnst have the
chance to practice it.
"Are we fighting this war mere
ly to rush the power of a coterfj
of madmen whose hearts are oent-
Ing in unison with the cruelty
and treachery of medievalism, and
whose standards of life are those
of Frederick the Oreat.
"Is it alone the ooject of this
war to demonstrate that the feu
dal spirit of the 18th century was
wrong? Are we fighting merely
to prove the fallacy of autocracy?
No, we are fighting this war ior
a democracy that shall reach down
and take root in the heart of every
citizen in every country.
'"There is no such thing as a
democracy that Is not universal any
more than there U an autocracy that
is tolerant. _
'"These things are to be the fruits
of this war. And into this order
of life the universal practice of
thrift must come, for thrift is the
very essence of democracy itself.
"Thrift is upbuilding? and con
strucUve— ysentiais without which
no true republicanism can perma
nently endure. These are the les
sons we must learn from the great
text books of passing history. Un
less we riße to the newer ideals—
unless we catch the sweep of the
new spirit of brotherhood—unless
we perceive the necessity of in
telligent thrift in this new and
brighter day ahead—we are far
out of step with the times. »
'"There never can come a time
in our national life when thrift
will not be necessary. It is an vital
to our success in winning this war
as powder and steel. And in that
critical period of readjustment
which will come with the beginning
of peace, thrift will be Just as nec
essary. Millions of men will come
back from the fighting front pre
pared again to" take up the occu
pations of peace. The acute scarc
ity of labor will be at an end. The
pressing demand for war sup
plies will be over. inflation
that now exists wllL subside rapid
ly. In this readjustment there
will be need for thrift and economy
to preserve tha equilibrium. Liv
ing conditions w'.U be revolution*
teed over night, as it were, (lone
will be the day of abnormal wages.
Merchants will find the value of
their stocks suddenly depreciated.
It will be a period of acute read
justment, and only thru practices
of thrift will, the economic effect
of the shock be tempered.
"And as the years go on the pro
digous losses of this era of devas
tation mast be made up by thrift.
Humanity must save then what ft
is destroying to-day.
"The time when thrift shall not
be needed—needed as vitally as
food itself—will never come.
"And so, out of the spirit of our
patriotism in our war sivings, let
u» coin a new term—the patriot
ism of peace savings.
"Through thrift the world will
rise from her ruins; the nations
will emerge from the chaos of de
vastation and debt, and set forth
again oil tha great highways of
destiny."

IB Rfl fIOR HlOl
Twenty dollars in gold will be awarded to any farmer in Rock
ingham County or any County adjoiuing Rockingham, who will
show ten thousand tobacco equal in quality, appearance,
etc., to the ten thousand hills produced on the property we will
sell within five hundred feet of the Spray Woolen Mills and now
ready for exhibit by the Rev. J. W. Fliuclium. All prizes will
bo awarded by the Rockingham County Farm Demonstrator.
The object of this proposition is to get beforo the people a con-1
structive idea of the relation between industrialism, practical
fanning and intelligent education. We want to show the small
tobacco farmer, the young man with a small family and a big
crop, the old man with a large family and small crop, how to get
some real money out of a few acres of land, how to educate liis
children and how to get a home.
We Will Show You
Not Tell You
We have been Helling property nt Spray for twelve months
Our sales are largely attended and the crowd is increasing every
sale. Few people in America have any appreciation of the vol
ume of sales we are making at Spray every month. • We sell at
public auction and the terms are such that a man with a few
dollars, and extended payments for one, two and three yearn,
has a chance to be a home owner, an intelligent farmer, stxk
raiser, or industrial expert.
As an evidence of what is going on, the pay roll around where
we stand and sell every month, exceeds three million of dollars a
year. No man would believe what our sales amount to in twelve
months. The policy of the mills here is different from any mills
in America. They believe in high wages and high-class labor.
They show what they think of education by school houses, un
surpassed in the Southern States. The V. M. 0. A., and privi
leges are as good us the best. There is not a high-class retailer
in America who does not receive goods from Spray.
The body of land which we have been selling and which we
are laboring daily to acquire to sell, has a historical record in the
Encyclopedia Britannica and in the report of survey of the colo
nies in 177' i for King George, of England. The geographical
formation permits varied industries and there is no equal to this
territory in America.
We are making these statements as people who work for a liv
ing and the maximum compensation for what we are saying is
the small commission we get for selling the lands, We sell land
from the Potomac to Texas and the constant growth of this com
munity compels us to give expression to what we see and to help
others its well JIB ourselves.
To all Knockers and all Critics, w> can show on the promises
everything we talk filxiut. Our next grand sale will take place
Saturday, August 24, at 2 o'clock,
at North Hprny, on the bank** of Smith Hiver. We will offer for
sale one hundred Iteautiful lots to the highest bidder. There
will lxi prizes given. musk* by a good band and the crowd will IK*
fed.
We auk you to meet u» on the ground. All visitors will lie
gladly shown over all or any j»art of this piojterty.
