Among the first requisites to a Better Salisbury is the enforce meat of the laws. We believe' the Czar of Russia was backing the Saltan of Turkey io bis objections to our Mr. Salee by. The building of a big city is not the chief end of man although the dollar chasers would have yon think so. Some of the most important things to do is to leave undone some things Windy Billy of Pa dunk, proposes to do. It is strange how some people want to take charge of a commu nity before being assigned a plaoe at the table . Where is the sense in spending good money to obtain citizens of doubtful characters' and purposes? What do we want with them? To rule us? Why should SaliBburians con tribute their good money to Win dv Billy of Paduuk. that he might spend it with nut let or hin dranoe and then boast of what "I have done?" If Salisburians will get togeth er, enforoe the laws, devise a rea oaible tax rate and help one an other, she would Beed no hirelings to push her to the front. A telegram just received from Wilkes land, antarctic zone, says the ground hog is, there arranging for a balf dozen blizzards, a lot of ztfo weather, some snow and a lot of wind. Look out and prepare for ground hog weather on and after February 2nd. I Ten thousand dollars judi ciously expended to assist the tot tering commercial and industrial enterprises, schools, professionals, mechanics, etc., of Salisbury would do more to encourage home industries and advertise the town than anything that has taken plaoe here in a half century. There is Borne talk here of or ganising a school to prepare boys for college, Suoh a school is a good thing, in fact it is so good that we have a very excellent one here now, The Maxwell Chambers CSl t i .a Donooi. xv is aomg the very wjrk deBired and should be en couraged and built up. The foun dation is ready and it would be a long way more sensible and pa triotio to build on this than to kill it by bringing in a competi tor. Let's help the institutions we have. If Salisburians are to furnish the means for a school, see to it that it is a Salisbury school . J W . Webb, Salisbury's build ing inspector, has received notice from James R. Young, State Iu suranoe Commissioner, calling his attention to a State lew that frame buildings within the fire limits of the oity oannot be re paired in any manner whatever. Doesn't that have the true Demo cratic ring? Or, does it sound like the Czar of Russia giving orders? Certainly there is a plausible ex cuse for everything, even the par ticipants of the Frenoh revolution had a plausible excuse, bo far as they were oonoerned, for keeping the quillotine busy. You see these oyer increasing "Shall nots are going to get on the ragged edge one of these times and some thing iB going to happen. A Salisbury Club for Salis bariana since Salisbury has reaoh. d the proportions and importance of a.oity, though somewhat out of the ordinary, is nevertheless a a very desirable thing,, if not a necessity. v Such a club should be so fashioned as to .act as a balance wheel, a regulator and a system- . . . atizer. The city wants ana is ready to welcome strangers, new enterprises and it wants to do thiugs, and then it wants- some things left undone. There are certain classes of citizens that are rery desirable and helpful and there are those who are harmful and injurious. Quite a per cent, of our business people and resi dents have come here from other places and are highly esteemed, they have gone quietly about their oallings and have shown them selves worthy, and agreeable, but there are others who have not dis played such sensible and amiable dispositions. Iu fact amorg thb latter class we find those who do not hesitate to exhibit their bad manners on all occasions. The are naggers. They don't under stand why things are not done their way, why -so and so is not done, and proceed to advise and urge and iussist, and o mplain, and demand that they be listened to, and fawn, praise, wheedle and flitter if the severer attitude is thought unlikely to be as fruitful. SaliBburians have been very pa tient and long suffering and we would not have them lose theii poiBe and good manners, but self- raspeot aud self-preservation ate different matters. Whena stran ger enters the home, the head of the house doeB not relinquish his authority and retreat to the cella to sulk. The stranger is cordially welcomed, is bade to be at ease, made comfortable and sometimes (given more attention thau regular members of the household, but this is hospitality and should nat be mistaken for license, for soon all will shara alike. But should the guest, a probationer, get bossy and dictatorial he is Dot long in finding that be is persona non grata, if he d;esn't get the boot. This being tb accepted custom in familv matters, Why is it leiB worthy of emulation in oity af faire, the larger oirole in which a'l have interests alike? Why should there not be a head, a Salisbury Club, to hold the reins and per form such duties as are agreed upon? Salisburians have plenty of 9elf-reBpect and civic pride and ability, but a unity of purp:s9 is lacking and consequently many valuable opportunities for self help are lost or are allowed to be confiscated by others. Salisbury and Rowan Couuty have citizens in every state in the uuion and in foreign lands, and they are mak ing good, but seem not to he ap preciated at home, or have not been sufficiently enoouraged to stay here. Thb Watchman innate that this is a mistake. Oar young men and young women should be encouraged, given the preference in every instance, to stay and those who have left to return and lend their brain and toawu to the bettering and upLuilding of onr home city, home county and Sate, and to build it as we want it done. Let's get together and aid those who are here and reach out as opportunity offeri and bring the wonderers h)me. TAKE IT IN TIME. Juit as Scores of Salisbury Pdopla-Haie. Waiting doesn't pay.

Missouri Writer Gives In Detail His Method of Using Timber Covered With iron Covers to Secure Slow Burning of Heap.. Charcoal is one of the cheapest oft disease preventives that can be fed to; jhogs. It Is especially valuable in win ter, whether the animals are in the fattening pens or in the woods' lot. ' Charcoal can be bought, but hub takes away its cheapness. It can be burned on the farm, and the burning takes but very little time or labor; (Green or dry timber, corn cobs or (heavy brush) can be turned into char coal. The method I have used for a good many years Is very simple. Along in (the fall and winter, when I need more jcharcoal for the hogs, I dig a trench somewhere between 8 and. 10 feet in '1aiitYi T tniilra 4 oKnnr "V roa ffiAl rwide and about as deep as it is wide, says a Missouri writer in the Farm Progress. If possible, I burn the charcoal in the woods .lot near the timber that I am using as this saves the time and trouble of hauling the wood. : Pile the trench full of wood, putting In enough dry. timber to start it blazing welL Arrange' the timber so you can start the fire near the center of the trench and at the bottom of the heap, so the fire will spread upwards and to either side through the logs. Let It blaze pretty strongly, and al low enough headway to reach all parts of the heap. I want every stick In the pile to be ablaze before I pro ceed with the next step. I use big sheets of iron to cover over the trench after it is thoroughly ablaze. Several years ago I picked up three or four old scraper bot toms, thick, heavy iron plates about forty-eight Inches in width. I' use these to cover the trench, laying them edge to edge, and stopping the places where they overlap, with wet clay. This keeps all the heat In, and the process of slow burning can go on underneath them. A little gaseous smoke and some of the heat escapes, but most of it remains under the plates. I let this iron-lidded pit stand for a day or two before removing the plates. I hardly ever fail to find about a wagon-bed full of fine charcoal when I open it The use of the sheet iron plates feeems to smother the fire just enough rto keep it from burning so freely as to destroy all the wood fiber, and yet gives it enough leeway to permit a slow combustilon. Of course, if the pit is opened too soon the blaze will (leap up again, and all the work will be for nothing. In .turning corn cobs into charcoal I follow about the same method as when turning timber into coals. They are placed in the pit, started to blaz ing, and then checked by being sealed up under the sheet iron. They char In about the same thime as timber. As a mineral element In hog rations charcoal Is hard to beat. It is espe cially valuable in stimulating the ap petite, and in freeing the intestinal tracts of the animals from various disturbances. CARING FOR YOUNG ALFALFA Pract!ee of Pasturing Field In Fall and Winter Is Harmful to Young and Old Plants. '(By O. O. CHURCHILI Oklahoma Agri ' ' cultural College.) Many people, on account of short age of pasture and to save feed, pas ture their alfalfa during the fall and winter. This practice is harmful to all alfalfa, whether it is young or old. No doubt it reduces the yields the follow ing season, although the reduction may be very slight if conditions are favor- able. 1 With the young alfalfa the practice ;Ib very harmful. It reduces the vigor of the plant, reduces the yield very .materially the following years, and frequently kills out some of the young plants at a time when they are not very well developed. Fall seeded alfalfa should never be, pas- Rhode island Alfalfa Crop. Field, Third tared during the same fall and winter In which it is seeded. The little feed which the alfalfa will furnish dur ing the winter is far more offset by the decrease in yield. .

COUGH TWO YEARS OLD Yields to VinoL Read Why, Strong vigorous inen and women hardly ever catch cold; it's only when the system is run down and vitality low that colds and coughs get a foot hold. Now isn't it reasonable that the right way to cure a cough is to build up your run down condition again? Mrs. D. A. McGee of Waycfoss, Gau, ays: "I had a chronic cold and cough which kept me awake nights for two years and I felt tired all the time. Vinol cured my cough and I feel stronger in every way." The reason Vinol is so efficacious In such cases is because it contains in a delicious concentrated form all the medicinal curative elements of cod liver oil, with! tonic, blood build ing iron added. 1 Chronic coughs and colds yield to Vinol because it builds up the weak ened, run-down system.
