WITH OTHER EDITORS BUSINESS "DEPRESSION." The Republican press is taking a fall out with President Wilson because he said recently that much of the pre vailing business depression is "psy chological." Of course it is a state of mind which Republicans love dear ly to see and to foster when the Dem ocrats are in power, but most of us remember when there was nothing psychological about Republican de pression when a dollar looked as big as the wheel of a log cart in the long leaf pine regions. Wilmington Star, WILSON AND THE FEDERAL RE SERVE BOARD. That the selection of members of the federal reserve board was made by President Wilson without regard to party considerations is admitted by his enemies. That the men chosen rank at the very top in the financial world, are men of matured judgment and sound common sense, men well versed in the ways of commerce and finance and men who will discharge the duties of their important portions with credit and distinction is admitted by all. It seems to be the eoncens js of opinion that the president has found the right men for these im portant positions. Charlotte News. BETTER CATTLE FOR LINCOLN The Lincoln County News says Lin coln is going in lor better cattle. It thinks the time has about come for Lincoln to stop buying western beef and lor the Lincoln county farmers to raise the beef that Lincoln county con sumes. This is wholesome advice and it is as good for a great many other counties in North Carolina as it is for Lincoln. More cattle raising will help North Carolina. Sheep raising is a profitable industry, too, and we take this method of calling the attention of readers in advance to a valuable ar ticle on sheep husbandry which Bion H. Butler will have in next Sunday's News and Observer News and Ob server. NO GREATER PROOF NEEDED Says the Littleton News Reporter: "There is need of no greater proof that a spirit of progress is in a town that its citizens or a number of them are tearing down and erecting larger, handsomer and more expensive build ings." Measured by this standard, there is abundant evidence on all sides of the spirit of progress in Henderson. While a number of old and out-of-date buildings are being replaced with "larger, handsomer and more expen sive" ones, it is more usual than oth erwise that handsome structures are going up on lots that have heretofore been vacant or have been used as wood or plunder yards. GREENSBORO'S COLORED EVAN GELIST. A news item says that the commis sioners of the city of Greensboro have so much faith in the work that a col ored evangelist is doing in that town that they have agreed to pay the rent of the house where the services are held as long as the evangelist stavs there. Now, that is all right if the commissioners are contributing to the evangelist, but if the commissioners are spending tax money for keeping the evangelist in Greensbore they are doing something they have no right to do that is if we understand any thing at all about the law in regard to separation of church and state :n this country of ours. No board of commissioners has the right to spend the public funds of the support of any church or minister of the gospel, and we can hardly believe that Greens boro commissioners have spent the people's money on an evangelist. Monroe Enquirer. WHEAT COUNTIES. Mr. R. L. Sloan, assistant director of the Fanners' Institutes under th-i State Department of Agriculture, 1ms evidently found some entertainment in The Observer's editorial on the wheat fields of Catawba county. He sends us a table of acreage and pro duction of seme of the Piedmont and central counties, and the showing is a brave one. Mr. Sloan, however, misses the point. That paper was not contending that Catawba is the cham pion wheat county. What impressed us was the manifest fact that in Ca tawba tl;e acreage this M-anon appeals to be increa.-ed over pu.-t years, ai ! that the yield seems t. show a larger percentage. The acreage yiald of the North Carolina wheat Held is 11 bushels to the aire. This may r.n- pear -:::ull. but not so, for the avoi-j age f'r-the L'ited Su.tes is UtWeOA' Vi and 14 !im.-::'Is. Later on, whVn the frost h or. the vine, ve a!-; gjir.l to gi- M.. Sloan another whack at. Catawba in 'lie mailer of the sweet' potato haive.-t. Charlotte On.er GOLD HILL. In the opinion of a great many men Gold lliil is rich in gold ;.nd copper. It is the opinion of many honest me:1, that these mining propcrtie.! could be worked to splendid profit and for the great good of the cunimunif. The opinion prevails among a great many familiar with business and mine con ditions that these properties worked on a business basis could and would turn in a decided profit ami be a mast helpful agency in the development of the community. That such could be done no citizen would wish to the contrary. But the wild and specula tive exploiting of the properties, as is so frequently the case with mining properties, leads the majority to pose as conservatives "fron Missouri." People i.i this w')uir v.'-y would very much to see these properties worked with one aim, of mining on a basis of honest purpose and with thj speculative, plunging side of . tha thing left out. When this i3 done the people will endorse and help and in vest and boost, until this is done, or attempted most earnestly the most conservative in Yhe community will keep hands off. Salisbury Post. - NEWS AND COMMENT SOY BEANS AND SWEET POTA TOES FOR KOGS. Soy beans as hog feed is new to most farmers in this part of the state. It has been proven that one of the cheap ways to produce pork is to plant soy beans and sweet potatoes in alternat ing rows and when the beans burst open turn in the hogs. They will dig the sweet potatoes and gather the beans as they drop and rarely ever bother the standing stalks. One farmer tried this plan two years ago for the first time ar.d now he s he will have his bean and potato patch every year. After the hogs have practically cleaned up the beans and potatoes, pen them and finish fat tening with corn. This makes cheaper and better meat than any other way of fattening. Try this plan this year and see if your meat doesn't cost you much less than that of your neighbor who fed corn alone. m CHURCHES SHOULD BE MORE CAREFUL. It isn't the Courier's purpose to dictate to the churches what they should do when it comes to selecting men to put in control cf their insti tutions but a question and a word J warning might net be out of place Would a large manufacturing concern pick up a man and put him in charge of their finances before first thoroughly investigating his past record in many ways? Would they give him this position of trust without securely bonding him? Attention is called to this on account of the recent arrest of H. A. Hayes, former super intendent cf the Children's Home at Winston, who the readers of The Cou rier will remember embezzled a large sum of money belonging to the insti tution. The man played crazy, but after escaping from the hospital for the insane at Morgan ton he had sense enough to make a success out of the book business in Chicago. Probably the former record of Mr. Hayes was as perfect as an angel but great was the change when he began to handle the Lord's money. All churches should be very careful in selecting men to put in charge of the financial affairs of their institutions. An oc currence like the Hayes affair badly cripples the work. SOME THINGS RANDOLPH COUN TY NEEDS It is known throughout the stave that Randolph county leads all others in a great many things but one who studies conditions will soon discover some things that are lacking. In the first place the farmers Lave never been taught the co-operative market ing plan. If properly worked thi? will mean hundreds of dollars annu ally to the farmers who join in if. The greatest success that any county in North Carolina has made out of co operative marketing has been in the dairy business. A co-operative cream ery located at some central point in the county to which cream could be brought by the route system would be a forward step for Randolph coun ty. Two crops that could be grown in this section successfully on a large scale are tobacco and sweet potatoes. At the present prices of tobacco hun dreds of acres should be planted in the county every year. Facilities herj are just as good as in csunties where tobacco is the principal crop. Sweet potatoes will do well in the sandy soil of the county. Catawba county sweet potatoes are known in all the principal markets by U.eir extra qual ity. In many portions of Randolph the soil is practically the same as in Catawba and the same quality of weet potatoes could be grown. T:.o method ot keeping them in houses iih IS or '20 inch sawdust walls is ry simple and one that could be fol lowed by the smaller t fanner. Thou- ids of bu.-'nels of sweet potatoes u 1 1 1 be grown ever year. do: T i AIL TO Hi:.U W. J. BRY AN ON THE FOURTH A.-he'ioro is o-.e of the few foiuVi nate towns in North Carolina to have the honor of Mich a distinguished statesman as William Jennings 1'rjv.n visiting the town and delivering a lecture. This man of world-wide fame will come to Asheboro on J iiy the Fourth under the auspices of the Chautauqua Association and deliver one of his famous lectures. This matchless orator has always drawn immense crowds, wherever he lectured. Thousands of people will come lo Asheboro from hundreds of miles around on that day to hear this speak er who has no equal. One of the largest crowds ever assembled in Western North Carolina was at Ilendersonville last summer to hear P.ryan. Th? price of o seat to .hi: kct'tre v..s 1. .0. A fS.-c m h"c et for the Chautauqua in Aisheboro will only cost 2.00, and this will in clude this great lecture. You will re gret very much if you let thin oppor tunity to hear this great man pass. Asheboro extends a hearty velcom? to all visitors during Chautauqua week. A FRAUD UNCOVERED HEAD OF MERCANTILE PUBLICITY COMPANY ARRESTED FOR AL LEGED MISUSE OF THE MAILS. A few weeks ago The Courier re ceived an advertising contract from a Mercantile Publicity Company for several hundred inches of advertising. The ads were placed under the follow ing names: Purity Candy Co, P. O. Box 91, Middletown, Ohio; The Ham ilton Drug Company. Hamilton, Ohio; The Wearever Hosiery Company, Day ton, Ohio; Howard Specialty Compa ny, Dayton, Ohio; Universal Products Company, Dayton, Ohio; Miami Pub lishing Company, Dayton, Ohio; Day ton Art Portrayal Company, Dayton, Ohio; Tire Factory Sales Company, Dayton, Ohio; Non Puncture Tire Company, Dayton, Ohio; Central Manufacturing Company, Dayton, Ohio; American Sales Company, Dayton, Ohio. The ads were run one time and the management of The Courier, thinking the proposition too liberal Wl'Ote the company for reference. They gave & bank in Day ton, Ohio, as reference which was written to immediately. The bank gave as reference a Credit Rating As sociation which upon writing to them at once furnished The Courier with the front page of The Dayton Even ing Herald of June 15, giving a full account of the arrest of Carl Gyer, head of the company. The United States Government is making a rigid examination into the affairs of the Company. One paper in Sedalia, Mo., recently sued the Company on an ae count of more than $100. The action of the United States Marshal grew out of complaints alleged to have been received against the company. Many papers throughout this state are run ning this same advertising and they are warned to beware. OUR GREAT SECRETARY OF THE NAVY. North Carolina fared sumptously at the hands of the national administra tion in the apportioning of the gov ernmental offices. No man ha3 brought to the Old North State more honor and fame than Josephus Dan iels who was placed at the head of the Navy. His addresses during the past few months at commencements and other public occasions have creat ed nation-wide comment. One of the grandest sentences ever uttered by mortal man was that by Secretary Daniels at Washington and Lee Uni versity last Wednesday when he said: "If I had one wish more than another for the South it would be that a dou ble portion of the spirit of General Robert E. Lee should fall upon them and that those who lead should receive his mantle and worthily wear it." Secretary Daniels said he sometimes shuddered when he thought of what might have befallen the South had Lee not lived in it. SOME THINGS ASHEBORO NEEDS IN A BUSINESS WAY One of the most important things in a business way for Asheboro would be for the owners of vacant lots, espe cially in the business part of the town, to stop growing corn, etc., and buiid houses for rent. It is almost impos sible to rent a nice home anywhere near the business section of the towi. One of the first things a manufac turer, or any other business ma,i wants to know when contemplating locating in a town, is what kind of homes are for rent. Usually they want to rent for a year or two before building a home of their own. Before men with capital can be induced to in vest here, homes must be built for them to live in. Two or three largo manufacturing enterprises should le located here within the next yea'. Why not fcet busy and organize a local company and start the hosiery mills as has been suggested? The Cham ber of Commerce in a North Carolina town about a year ago heard of a manufacturing establishment that was to be moved from an isolated ir.ou.Uain town to one with bettor iail road fai ilities. The secretary got busy, the town donated a fuw thousand dol lars, local men subscribed stock and as a result (be town secured the fac tory with its capacity doubled. Ashe boro has an organization known a? "The Business Men's Club," but at the present time it is inactive. Why not get together, reorganize this club into a regular Chamber of Commerce and go to work and bring more manu facturing industries to the town. Evidence of what appears to be a well organized campaign to delude farmers throughout the country into buying alleged cure for hog cholera, under the impression that this has been investigated and approved . by the United State Government, has come to light. Articles praising this medicine, Benetol by name, are being sent out widespread to the newspa pers. The Department say they do not believe in the efficiency of any proprietary cure for hog cholera, but iias urged the farmers to protect their stock with anti-hog cholera serum but that is all. Children Cry FOR FLETCHER'S C ASTO R I A MOVING PICTURE SHOW "AUNT ANNE" VISITS THIS POP ULAR PLACE OF AMUSEMENT AND TELLS WHAT SHE SAW AN ARGUMENT IN FAVOR OF "THE MOVIES." I kept hearing the ycur.ger people talking about "The Movies," and how they went in, church members and all, and nothing happened to them, so I thought to myself the next time I go to tokn I will take a look at them my self, if 1 could get a good quiet time when business was not brisk, and 1 could slip in and not be seen, for I got in my head long ago that it was aw ful to attend circuses, and all kinds of exhibitions, etc, Well not long ago I went to town. I had a good many things to attend to, getting a tooth extracted, which I knew would take a good deal of nerve; and trying all the time not to think about "The Mo vies," which' also took a great deal of nerve and moral courage. So when I had about decided that I had resisted and saw the tempter standing safely behind me I concluded I was brave enough to take a peep at The Moving Picture show, Well, I moved on down street to where I heard the music playing, and it was playing, loud and nice, good old pieces like Italian waltz, Turkey in the Straw, Money Musk. etc. None of the Tango and Bear Hug, Twas all good stepping music, and just seemed to invite me to come in, have a seat and take off my hat. So in I walked; and oh, how dark it was in there with the people all sitting quient, you could hear a pin fall any where in the room. I saw the little benches, like school desks all over the room. I selected a good seeing place about midway of the room, walked in and started to sit down when I detect ed the chair or bench did not look natural some way. So I investigated and found it had to be turned down in order to make a seat, it was so dark I could not see through my glasses (they are not good ones at all, for one lens is out) but after a long while I got the seat fixed and sat down for an hour of en joyment. Oh, the picture show has not been praised enough. I forgot all about every thing. I did not care how the hats were trimmed, or how the peo ple looked. I was carried away in a perfect ecstacy of bliss. I thought life was worth living after all.fi The piano played, and such strains as issued from that musical instru ment, such harmony, such dulcet tink ling notes, such great sweeps of mu sical sounds, it was the dubious tones of the Spanish guitar mingled with the soothing drone of the Scottish bagpipe.. I was simply carried away far beyond the realm of ill earthly sounds. My soul wandered on from world to world in a prefect frenzy of bliss. Of course this music that I speak of was not grand opera, neither was it the mechanical thrill, neither was it or the ear splitting melodies of Blind Tom, but for sweet alluring, soul stir ring far away wanderings in music land eive me the dulce far niente mu sic of the electric piano in the moving picture show. Well as I had never been in a "movie" show before I thought na turally the curtain would rise, but no curtain rose, but just when the music got to the place where you felt like getting up, putting a few touches to the Star Spangled Banner the charac ters made their appearance, horses that looked to have just left their grassy plains in far- away Arabia, came prancing down the line and then disappeared in space. Pistols would be pointed, you would hear the report in your mind and some one would fall dead. Here would come a train thunder ing along at the rate of CO or 70 miles an hour and dissappear in space. Here would go the enraged father trying to intercept the daughter and her lover, when suddenly daughter and lover disappeared. Oh, the wonders of the moving pic ture showf I didn't want to so much as bat my eyes for fear I would miss something. I was enchanted. The Arabian Nights' entertainments were as nothing, les? than nothing. What was Sinband's adventurers to all this wonderful panorama. I was on the qui vive of expectancy and was never disappointed. The ac tors just came rolling out, hourses pranced, trauis dashed over the tracks, telegraph wires clicked and all went merry as a "wedding bell." Here was Elizabeth upon the great English throne, strong men made obesiance to her. She smiled and gave away colo nies. She found and theEoi tefidd tiies. She frowned and the offenders were put in irons. She made a stroke with her pen and the Earl of Essex was headless. The power and magnificence of this wonderful woman was brought out I had never been able to imagine her even in my wildest dreams. I saw power seated upon her brow, and she loved it better than anything earthly. She stopped at nothing when her rights were disputed. But she grew old after awhile, and her once powerful frame grew weak. She could no longer sway the scepter of her mighty realm, and ar.e died bat in her death you felt a mightly wom an was no more. Well the music played on "Sweet and low, sweet and low, w ina ot the Western nea And so the moving picture f-how was over, but it has left a void in my heart which can never be filled. "AUNT ANNE." WHY WEAK LUNGS? The toll of tuberculosis is claiming more than 350 victims every day in the United States, yet few realize their grave condition until the critical period arrives. Overwork, worry, weakness after sick ness, catarrh, bronchitis, tender throats all exert the weakening influence that invites consumption. To guard against consumption, tliou sandsof people take Scott'sEmulsionafter meals because its rich medicinal nourish ment strenithens the lungs, puts vigor ia the blood, and upbuilds strength to resist tuberculosis. Scott's Emulsion is nature's strength-builder. Refuse substitutes. GENERAL NEWS ITEMS ITKMS OK INTEREST TAKING I'UVCE THIS WEEK THROl (iH olT THE DIFFERENT SEC INUNS OF THE WOKI.l.
