At church, school entertainments, political speakings, and sociables, all dogs are expected and woe to him who goes to kicking them around.

Wherever the and is drained it is increased in valj ie and profit. It Is one of the copier stones upon which the value of land is ' determined. The farmer R'hoae land needs draining cannot afford to do without it. Underground tile drainage Is cheapest and best, but geratest care should be given the outlet In order to obtain best results. Communities can unite in having one common outlet where large bodies of level land come together and it would be wise to have the services of a good engineer to locate and plan this community outlet. Tiling Bhould be properly laid. One mistake is not going deep enough and giving proper fall. Water will run faster through a deep ditch than through the farm, as it saves so much as tile drainage, but will not last as long nor give as good results. A good clay tiling can be made at almost any brick factory with very small expense for equipment. The value of good tile is indefinite. These two addresses occupied the morning. This afternoon at 2:30 o'clock the farmers were delightfully and profitably entertained by an address on Good Roads by Professor M. H. Stacey, of Chapel Hill, N. C. On account of going to press before this address could be given the readers of this paper a digest of It will appear in tomorrow's paper. The Institute so far as this county was concerned was a success and all the farmers present have returned to their home better farmers and more anxious than ever to progress and go forward In their high calling.

The great topic of discussion here tu during the last two weeks haa been bl the proposed seven year tenure of of- pr flee law for Government clerks. Now m that the Legislative bill which contains it hka passed, it Is expected that th President Taft will veto it. But st whether Congress makes it a law fin- W ally or not, the tenure clause will Of have served a good purpose, since it W has brought home to the clerks a re- so alization of the fact that they are, at re least the majority of them comfort- fo ably placed, well paid according to gl: the work they do. and that they do co not actually own the positions they he occupy? and, that these government bu positions are established, theoretical- of ly at least, for the purpose of having so government work done and not solely inj to take care of any favored class. w< Without doubt, the clerks have them- wf selves to blame for much of the feel- Hi lng that has developed against them in Congress, through their absurd ac agitating for civil pensions. Very few m< people have believed that Congress *ei would grant such a pension. It is ?o true that the cost of living is very Co great here, so that the majority are er able to save little If any. Also, in one Po way at least the tenure clause would pri work injustice and that is where tei there is but one member of a family wit in office and very likely that one does to not receive a high salary, he or she thi would to lose his or her position as 1 wen in me several memDers oi someioe other family who may be living to- in gether and receiving a The wool bill was the twenty- du fifth legislative measure that Presi- po dent Taft has vetoed during his administration. Although most of these ye; have been on comparatively uhim- Co portant subjects, several have been pa of a very important nature. Four of Be them were tariff bills. His one other faveto of last year was directed against of the joint resolution admitting New of Mexico and Arizona to statehood, which met with executive disap- lie proval because of the provision in the ic? Arizona constitution allowing the re- thi call of judges. In addition toe the Ri wool bill the President has returned one other measure of Importance at St; this session, the army appropriation mi bill, which, as it passed Congress, Ini would have legislated General Leon- at ard Wood out of office March 4 and ne would have made radical changes in Bi the army.
