Entered as second-dags matter Jan

bury, N. 0., under the act of Congress
of Mar on Bra, 1878.
Salisbury, N. C, Sept. 23, '14
THE BUY A BALE PLAN.
For the convenience and assis
lance of thoie farmers who cannot
hold their cotton this year and
are willing to dispose of it at ten
oents per pound, The Watchman
offer them the nse of its colums
to let the matter be known, and
those who are willing to bay a
bale, or more, on this plan may
help the cause along by register
ing their names at this office.
Farther, those who hare storage
pace to spare can aid the farmer
and buyers of cotton to let us
know of such epace and what the
charges for storing will be, if any.
If the farmers need help now iB
the time to arrange for that help
and by making use of the above
suggestion muoh assistance can
be rendered.
The Watchman has no desire to
butt in on this matter, but as
some inch arrangement seems
necoessary, it merely offers to do
whatsoever it can to help the mat
ter along.
These better babies contets may &
be alrightj but they appear to
us both disgusting and tiresome.
What freakism will be brought
forth next?
A. A. Whitener, a young attor.
ney of Hickory has been nominat
ed as an advertisement for him
self and business, and incidental
as a candidate against Senator
Lee S . Overman. Of course Mr.
Whitener will get the advertising
and Senator Overman will get re
elected to the Senate .
Concord is to oelebrate Home
Coming week next Tuesday and
Wednesday and a splendid pro
gram has been arranged for the
oooasion. The Times has pub
lished a ipeoial edition of consid
erable size containing much of
interest about our neighbor town.
The Times well represents the
good pople of that thriving city.
Whitener tie Man Apinst Overman
Hickory Man Is Names to Run For Tbe Sen
ate Against Mr. Oierman.
Greensboro. Sept. 18 A.. A
Whitener, of Hickory, is the Re
publican candidate to succeed Lee
S Overman in the United State
fe ate and Green Parsons, of As!
will beat the banner of the G. O.
P. against Corporation Com mis
sioner E L. Travis. The Repub
lican party will throw all the
weight of its influence behind the
amendments, particularly the one
relating to taxation. The state
organization will be permanent,
with headquarters open in Greens
boro "until the state and the na
tion are both Republican" in tbe
words of Seoretary Gnssom.
That is, in brief, the result ol
the meeting of the Republican
state executive committee, held
here yeaterday afternoon. The
meeting was largely attended, a'-
though not all the members of the
oo mm it tee were present. State
Chairman Frank A. Linney, pre
sided at the gathering, which was
held in the offices recently opened
by Secretary Grusom on South
Elm street. Among those present
besides the chairman and secre
tary, were; E. C. Duncan, na
tional committeeman J. J. Britt,
candidate for Congress frcm the
tenth district, Thomas Settle, and
T. E. McCrary, candidate for Con
gress from the seventh district.
Headquarters will be maintain
ed in Greensboro for merely
through the coming campaign
along through the intervening two
years until the battle of 1916.
'After all, Mr. Linney remarked
last night, "the campaign this fall
is but the preliminary skirmish.
What we are really preparing for
is the big fight two years hence.
Nevertheless, we are going to send
three congressmen to Washington
this fail "
The officials at headquarters are
exceedingly anxious that there be
no misunderstanding as to their
position with regard to the consti
tutional amendments. They are
for them heart and soul. Especial
efforts will be made in behalf ot
the taxation amendment. "It
was undoubtedly meant to be de
feated," said Mr. Linney, "but
prospects for ie passage are very
bright now. The Democrats oi
Ca'dwell oounty have' already in
dorsed every syllable of our state
platform: They found publio
sentiment so strong that there was
nothing else for them to do."
Mr. Linney will spend muoh
time here during the campaign,
and Secretary Grissom will be
here permanently.
Caught aBad Cold.
"Last winter my son caught a
very bad cold and the way he
coughed was something dreadful,"
writes Mrs. Sarah E. Duncan, of
Tipton, Iowa. "We thought sure
he was going into consumption.
We bought just one bottle of
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy and
that one bottle stopped his cough
and cured bis cold completely,"
For Sale by All Dealers.
It should be noted that a num
ber of those oonvicted in the
county oourt of selling whiskey
and took an appeal to the Superi
or Court, hoping to get off with
a slight fine or be acquitted, were
given an increased sentence and
tbe ccsts were more than doubled.
So, it will be observed, the appeal
racket does not always improve
conditions. If the higher courts
were given to sustaining the lower
courts with increased sentences it
would materially aid in the exe
cution of justice.
Venus says that M. L. Hess of
his neighborhood, raised and
thrashed twelve bushels of red
top clover. About four bushels
of seed per aore is the average
yield for this clover whioh is
bringing $12.00 per bushel, equal
ing $144. Crimson clover is
bringing $6.00 and $7.00 per bushel
This seed is generally bought
from northern seed houses and
the money is sent out of the State
never to return. It seems to us
that this would be a profitable
tide line for farmers in this sec.
tion, which, beside helping them
selves, would help the State.
Again we are notified by the
paper houses that prices will be
increased, this time by an aver
age of ten per cent, A peculiar
thing about the pretenses for these
f reopen t increases is, no matter
what they be nor how far suoh an
exouse has been left in the rear
by events, the prioes never get
back to where they started. Any
little old exouse is sufficient for an
iaorease, but nothing is sufficient
cease for a deorease. The trouble
is the paper business in the Un
ited States is in the hands of a
gigantic trust, so much so that
the government should take cog
nizsnoe of it.
17 DRY YEARS" PREDICTED
Director of French Observatory 8ay
There Will Be Slight Rainfall
From 1918 to 1935.
Parts. The Abbe Moreux, director
of the observatory at Bourges, pre
dicts a dry cycle of 17 years from
1918 to 1935.
"Seventeen years of dryness," he
says, "followed by aa many years of
humidity, auch Is the consequence of
oar being directly dependent on the
son. The last great maximum was to
occur, according to my calculations,
toward 1906 to 1907. It waa this
which enabled me, in 1902, to predict
the rainy period which has persisted
over almost the whole surface of the
globe and which brought us the great
floods of 1910.
The rainy maximum which I had
announced for 1913 has just ceased.
We are about to enter Into a dry
period, which will last more particu
larly from 1918 to 1835."
Already, says the astronomer, there
are signs of reawakening activity.
The sun spots have appeared In the
high altitude of the central planet
The seasons are about to become more
marked, the winters colder and the
summers warmer.

There has been a number of very
important oases before the Super

to the business-like methods of

broke down and cried freely.

employed as porter, was given

ty court.
The very interesting case against
the Landis Milling Company, tbe
roller mill situated at Landis, fif
teen miles south of Salisbury, was
given a hearing in the Superior

brought on a charge of giving
short weight and was a stubborn
ly fought case. It was turned
over to the jury late in tbe even

was rendered both as o the Mill
ing Company and George Corriber,
the manager, Saturday morning,
Judge Adams pronounced the sen
