The Asneboro Courier PBICE ONE DOLLAR A YEAR Wm. C. HAMMER, Editor. AQR ICULTURAL DEPART MENT HELPING THE PEOPLE. The Industrial News commends our State Agricultural Department for the many linea along which the department of agriculture is mak ing extended investigations for the purpose of bringing to public at tention the wholesale adulteration by manufacturers of articles Bold to the people of the State. The News says further: "Already the farmers have been greatly helped by the regulation of fertilizers, and the department, we sreglad to see, is broadening tht scope of its operations to assist all the people." The State Agricultural Depart ment has sent out a twenty-four page pamphlet exposing the adulter ations of the Starch "Trust", which furnishes starch to the cotton mills of this State. We need in Asheboro as we have often stated a well organized up to date progressive civic league. We need tp cultivate a sentiment for cleaner ani neater private yards and premises. We Jalso need then to spur up our town officials, who are to tell the truth, not looking after the affairs of the town as they should. If this matter was taken up by some public spirited lady great good could be accomplished. There is a great deal of attention paid to the, morals and religion of our town. We need more attention given to the health and appearance of the tawn, look at the cemetery for instance. A Home Coming. Why not have a home coming of Randolph people in Asheboro, this fall? It would be an interesting gather ing to get all the Randolph people who have gone to other sections of this State and to other states. Let us have an Old Home Week. We could have it in October or No vember, and a great gathering it .would be. Montgomery News. Mr. Tandy Morris, a former resi- dent of this county and a native of Montgomery, has bought the 200 acre farm from Henry Troutmau near Albemarle for $2,500. Mr. Morris has been farming on part of the land for several years. Mr. John Dawkina, of Jackson Springs vicinity, is six feet tall, measures 72 inches around the waist, and weighs 440 pounds. If Mr. Dawkins is not the largest man in the Stat?, who is? A man from the Uwharrie section told some of the boys at the cross arm plant the other day that a cat fiBh had been caught in the Uwhar rie river that was 3 feet and 4 inch es long and measuredll inches be tween the eyes. He said that it took two men to draw the fish out of the river, and that it had 11 good fish books in its jaws and several broken ones. A man from Eldorado vouches for the Uwharrie man by Baying that'they got several kegs of lard from the fish. News has been received in Mont gomery of the death of Miss Pattie C. Allen, which sad event occurred at the home of her brother, O.J.Al len, in Waycross, Ga., on Friday August 9th, after a long illness. Miss Allen was born and raised in Fee Dee township, this county, and was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. D. B. Allen, both of whom preced ed her to the grave several years ago. From the Montgomerian. .Marriages. At the home of the bride in Con cord township on August 22, 1907, Mr. Joseph Svkes and Mrs. Augusta .Reeves; Rev. J. W. Ingle performing the ceremony. At the home of the bride on Sun day morniDg, August 18th. 1907, Mrs. Sarah C. Yow, of Why Not, and Mr. J. C. Cornelison,. of Cagle's Mills, were united in marriage. Af ter the ceremony by O. M. Yow, J . P., the invited guests, numbering fifty, mostly married people, repaired to the dming room where a bounti ful fest was spread, to which all did ample justice. The bride was beautifully dressed m brown silk; the groom m conven tional black. They left that even ing for Mr. Oornelison's home in Montgomery county, accompanied by several friends. Miss Ida Holbrook, of Elkin, will nrrive the last of the week to visit Miss Esther Anman. More money is needed for the Panama Canal, and Congress will be asked to appropriate $8,000,000 in the urgent deficiency bill. It comes high, but we must have it. United Stales Judge Jones, of Alabama, an appointee of President Roosevelt, has issued a blanket injunction straining the going into effect of the State law for the re duction of passenger rates 2-1-2 cents. Judge Jones was a railroad attorney before President Roosevelt appointed him. Example is better than recept. That U why Johnson of Minnesota, or Glenn of North Carolina would be a stronger man in the Presiden tial race than Mr. Bryan who has no opportunity for being an example asa reformer. From his speech we should iudtre Secretary Taft to be a very poor understudv of the President. They are having a "hiatus" in their anti trust laws in Texas. It also looks as if we were having one or two of the same kind of things in the railroad law passed by congress. Leading Republicans now declare that the Sherman anti-trust law is a failure, because it penalizes agree ments in rest:aint of Roosevelt it is said, will recotnmeud the law to be amended so that "good trusts" will oe legal. With Wall Street in a panic and other signs of Republican trust irospenty failing, perhaps some voteis who have been blinded to the real cause of the increased cost of living, will want the tariff revised that protects the trusts. The railroad contingent entrench ed in the Georgia Senate died hard, but Governor Hoke Smith nrovpil his capacity for doing things by naving heart-to heart talks with some doubtful Senators, somewhat as President Roosevelt did on the railroad rate bill. Gevernor Smith did not, however, permit his bill to oe ainenued to suit the railroads. His friends, therefore, think he is the best man for the Democrats to nominate for President. The attempt to scare the commu ters in some of the States that have reduced passenger rates into stand ing by the railroads for the old rates, is a dismal failure. If the low commutation rates did not pav the railroads they would have abolished or raised the price of commutation tickets long ago. If the railroads are wise they will not stir up more antagonism than they now have to contend with. Mrs. F. II. Finch, of Salem, Mo., wife of Mr. Frank II. Finch, for merly of Conrad Hill, Davidson County, and the mother of Mr. S. W. Finch, of Lexington. Mrs. Finch died the 17th and was about C8 years of age.
