the Asheboro Couoier t BICE ONB DOLLAR A YEAR Wm. C. HAIOOS, Editor. BELL TELEPHONE COMING TO TEKMS W FLACES. The Bell Telephone, which is now making every effort to kill all inde pendent companies in this State so that it may ieb and oppress the pnblic is resorting to all kinds of means to accomplish its aims, and purposes. . Uatil recently it has been impos sible to secure a contract with it at any reasonable terms. The independents are getting con siderable headway in Cabarrus aud Iredell counties and are arranging to connect through Salisbury, Lex ington,' Thomasville, High Point, Xandleman, Asheboro and many other points. This is greatly dis turbing the Bell. All sorts of pro. positions were made for connection ith Mr. Hayden, manager of High Point system, as we learn. But Mr. Hayden looked upon the Ball rep. resentatives as Greeks bearing gifts. Recently the Bell people gave out that they had a franchise at MooresTille. Mr. Z. V. Turlington, president of the Mooresville Company, and upon whose word the publie may rely as correct, in a letter to the Landmark says: "We allow the Bell to connect its long uistant lines with our switch board and it pays us 15 per cent on all business going over the Ameri can Telephone and Telegraph Com pany and 20 per cent for all busi ness going OTer the Southern Bell Telephone Company. This con tract is good for one year and after that time we can be released by giving 30 days written notice. We remain independent and still retain our connection with Statesville and other points where we now have connections. In other words, our contract with the Bell people is just what we attempted to nuke all telephone companies do by statute. 'We have net sold out and do not contemplate doiug so. We are still independent of the 1M1 Telephone Company with just physical con nection with a traffic arrangement." And this is quite another stm-v from that given out by the Bell, says the Landmark. YOUR TAXES. It is time of year to pay taxes. The public school vouchers are com ing in and the treasurer cannot pav these without educatioual funds While the county has plenty of money to meet ail demands, yet the educational funds are paid out each year and no surplus is permitted to accumulate. It is only a little over one month until the sheriff will be compelled to settle the State taxes with the State treasurer. Hoarding Bad Far The Ceaatry. Millions of dollars are hoarded away without any reason or cause. Money is held and refused to be loaned, when there is abundant se curity. Men take their money out etf the banks, carry it around in their peckets, and refuse to put it in cir culation. Wa hear banks on every hand bragging about the heavy de posit they have, yet not a cent will they lend to help move to the cotton crop. It is as much wrong for a bank to put its money away in its vaults, without lending it, as it is for the farmer to put it away in his atockirlg. 2-Cent Fare Pays. A late dispatch from Omaha, Neb., says: Instead of the new two cent railroad fare law having reduc ed the passenger receipts in Nebras ka, it has actually insreased the av erage income rate per mile in this Btate, according to the report of tbe Union Facifiic Railroad, juxt filed with the State Railway Commission. The explanation is that there are now Doexcuision rates, no commu tation' tickets or reduced fares or passes. In fact, nothing less than a straight 2-cetit fare ticket is now Bold in Nebraska. The passenger Teceipts of the Union Pacific for four months of 1907 were $3,000 per month greater than the receipts lor the same period of 1906 under the rates previously charged. Tbe.

In the November issue of the Jefersonian Magazine, Mr. Watson discusses the ost original poem in our language, and asks, Is it Poe's "Raven," or is it Bret Harte's "Song of the Bullet"? Mr. Watson says that many critics would say that it is Coleiidge'a "Ancient Mariner". Some would say that it is Tenny son's "Crossing The Bar". Others would select some of the bit of verse in the Cameos of Landor which carry tho Music of the sea shell in caskets. Cowper's lines of the Ice Palace of the Russian Empress might be chosen by some, as Oscar Wilde's terribly fascinat ing "Ballad of Reading Goal," Ed win Markhm's "Mat With the Hoe," and Dr. Holmes' old ship "The Constitution", would not be overlooked by some. Most of the foregoing poems are familiar to the general pablic. The poem Mr. Watson refers to by the name of the "Song of the Ballet," we are unable to find in the works of Bret Harte. We do find, how ever, in the Riverside Edition of his works in the volume entitled "His Poems" and "The Two men of Sandy Bar,,' a short, bnc very original and beautiful poem entitled 'What the Bullet Sang." We here give the poem in full: What The Bullat Sang, O joy of creation To I' 0 rapture to fly A.di1 be free! Be the battle lost or won, Through its amok shall liiiie the sun, 1 Bhall Bud my love, the one Bora for uie! I shall know him where he man ill.

It it 1 all thy loe Foretold! It is I 0 lore! What bliss! Dost thon answer to my kiss.? 0 sweetheart! What ii this Lieth there aocold? One of the best and most original poems in the language, no doubt, was written by Harry Edwards, in Georgia, more than a quarter of a ceiiturv ago,-luTe it is: The Vulture am) II is Mhadntv.

Tha Farmers' Cread, Years ago Henry Ward beecher wrote the farmers' creed and it runs thus: We believe in small farms and thorough cultivation. We believe that th6 soil loves to eat, as well as its owner, and ought, therefore, to be liberally fed. We believe in large croj s which leave the land better than the; found it making the farmer and the farm both glad at ouce. We believe in going to the bottom of things, and, therefore in deep ploughing, and enough of it. All the better with a subsoil plow. We believe that every farmer should own a farm. We believe t'aat the best fertilizer for any soil is a Bpirit of industry. Without this lime, gympsuni bone, ureen manure marl and guauo will be of little use. We believe in good fences, good barns, good farmhouses, good stock, good orchards and children enough to gather the fruit. Chatham County Notes, Sanfurd Express. J. J.

Turnip tops as a diet for patients suffering with certain intestinal dis eases is the unique treatment adopt ed for experimental purposes at Johns Hopkins Hospital. Mr. John S. Ashworth, 27 years old, of Williamson, W. Va., entered the hospital the early part of last month weak and ill from the disease. He was pale, had lost much flesh and had suffered for several mouths. It was at the suggestion of his phy sician that he came to Baltimore, and when he entered the hospital he was pnt to bed under the hospital regime for such cases. His condi tion grew worse. At the suggestion of one of the house physicians Ash worth was put on the turnip greens treatment. It is the first case of this charac ter ever so tieated at the hospital and the improvement iu the condi tion of Ashworth has been rapid. For the first two weeks Ashworth took four or five meals of turnip tcps a day. His condition improved remarkably. After another week of the treat ment his diet will be increased by the addition of a glass of milk and toast, but at the present the patient eats nothing but turnip tops gotten fresh daily, lhe attending physi cians have high hopes of rapid re covery of their patient. The physi cians are watchiDg the case with much in erest. The common turnip is used. The whole growth ie kn fresh to the hospital and when about to be pre pared the tops are cat off. They are cooked with great cure is the dish is unpalatable whpn badly cooked. The patient at first cai not get ac ttustomed to the cooked greens but after the first few days or so finds the meals very palatable. Throughout the South it is a com mon diet m tbe country districts, but it was not until a we'l known physician of Alalmnn discovered that they had medicinal properties that their value wim knovyn.
