CIRCUS DAY
Friday. September 18, Marks the
Coming of the Sparks World's Fa
mous Shows to Asheboro Giving
Two Complete Performances.
Circus day dawns with an indefina
ble stir in the air that sets the small
hov's heart to beatimr faster, and
. awakens pleasant memories in the
minds of the gray beards who have
not forgotten childhod's nappy aays,
The neoDle of this city and commu
nity will undoubtedly be treated to a
tremendous surorise in the above
show, as report has it that it is not
- only triple in size this season, but
that it still retains those features that
made it such a welcome visitor in past
years, viz: Its freedom from all semb
lance of gamblers and fakirs, the high
- class moral entertainment afforder
and its honorable methods of doing
business.
The management of the Sparks
World's Famous Shows have not only
ventured into fields of greater endeav-
or, but in so doing, it is said, have
outdistanced tented rivals in a man
ner that leaves nothing to the ,imagin
ation with the additional telling advan
tasre of being triple in s'ze. All new
n the mater oft equipment and pres
entation, and still retaining the won
derful trained wild animal exhibition,
which has done much to cause this
. show to become famous, it is the most
remarkable amusement enterprise of
its kind in the world today.
The big parade at 10:30 a. m., while
a feature if marvelous beauty and en
ormous expense, is but a slight re
minder of of the great pomp, opu
lence and bewildering beauty to be
witnessed under the mammoth tents
- during the exhibitions. In other
words, the show is not all on the
.- streets. "
SENATOR OVERMAN OPTIMISTIC
Senator Overman, who is one of the
best informed men of the nation, says
that this country is facing its era of
. irreatest prosperity. The Senator
- spent a few days at home and
; speaking with friends declared that
the fear which followed the breaking
out of the European war has no place
in our present day life, and is passing
away, while the business interest is
preparing for the greatest boom it
has ever known in this country. Sen
ator Overman is optimistic and with
.an abiding faith in his country, its
wonderful resources and ts readiness
to grasp opportunity sees a wonder
f ul prosperity. The opinion of Sen
ator Overman is based upon a keen
insight into actual conditions and
not affected by the little frights which
. are based on a false idea altogether,
Business, big and little, is settling
- down to this splendid beginning of
prosperity and there is no longer the
slightest room for fear on the part
of any one. Our war fright is past
. and business is stripped for action.

ABOVE PARTISAN POLITICS
The Pittsburgh Gazette-Times a
atandpat Republican paper publish
ed by United States Senator George
T. Oliver, of Pennsylvania, pays the
President this generous tribute:
President Wilson s personal appeal
to his "fellow countrymen" to pre
serve strict neutrality in speech and
conduct is timely in its -proclamation
admirable in its tone and purpose. In
essence it is a reminder that this
country of ours is America, a grand
fact which appears to have escaped
the minds of some who would sup
plement the continental conflict across
the Atlantic by instigating controver
sies between natives of the countries
now at' war. Necessarially there are
varying sympathies and : hope it
would be unnatural if there were not
but the future of every naturalized
son of Great Britain, of Germany, of
Bussia, of France, of Austria-Hunga
ry, of Belgium, and of Servia m the
United States is bound up with the
people of the United States and not
with the powers of Europe. To all
such, as well as to native-born Amer
icans, the President remarks that the
moral "effect of the war upon the
United States will depend upon what
American citizens say and do."
resident Wilson s proclamation de
serves to be read by every thought
ful man and woman, and it should be
translated into the tongues of those
people of the United States who are
drawn from many nations, and chief
ly from the nations now at war."
In a large way, whether there be
implicit confidence in the Democratic
party or not, President Wilson should
be trusted to steer the American ship
of state free of the infinite national
perils of Europe's gigantic embroil
ment. Let us not forget that, much
as a game was made of his policy of
"watchful waiting" with regard to
Mexico, it is now almost universally
conceded that proved to be the
vise course. Imagine us at war with
Mexico at this juncture, with Europe
in the death grapple of the centuries!
And if the president, as he must be,
is relied upon to see us safely as a
nation through the complications of
an international strife which touches
us in our fortunes andestate, and in
our personal comfort and prosperity,
surely Re may be heeded when he
makes such an extraordinary appeal
for the restraints of prudence in our
speech and conduct.
WHAT SICKNESS AND DEATH
COSTS THE STATE IN A YEAR
(Bulletin State Board of Health)
On an average for every death
during a year, there are two persons
sick throughout the year. Over 40
per cent of all our deaths are either
preventable or postponable. There
fore, of our 40,000 North Carolinians
who were last year swept into the
great beyond, something like 16,000
should be with us today.
We might as well admit the fates.
Here they are: 16,000 North Caro
linians are being sacrificed annually
on the altar of ignorance and
lethargy. Within the memory of
some of us, common laborers were
bought and sold for 4750 to $15,00
apiece. May we assume that the
average value of these 16,000 of our
beloved ones is $17,00 each ,or a total
of over $27,000,0007 That is a tre
mendous loss to our state a heavy
drain on our state s wealth.
We have 80,000 North Carolinians
sick the year round. Half of this
sickness is preventable. That leaves
our endless sick loss at 40,000 for
their entire time. Assuming that one-
third of our sick are in the earning
or productive period of life and earn
on an average only $700 a year, we
have, therefore, 13,300 times 700,
over $9,000,000. Add $9,000,000
more for medicine, nursing and spec
ial food and we have over $18,000,000
as our annual loss from sickness. This
makes a total annual loss to North
Carolina of 18,000,000 plus $27,000,000
or over $45,000,000 annually.

LIFE INSURANCE COMPANIES
They Arc Clooely Observing Health
Conditions. "
An examining physician for one the
prominent Life Insurance Companies,
in an interview on the subject, made
the astonishing; statement that one
reason why so many applicants for insurance-
is rejected is because kidney
trouble is so eontomn to the American
people, and the large majority of
those whose applications are declined
do not even suspect that they have the
disease.
According to this it would seem that
a medicine for the kidneys, possessing
rem nesting; ana curative properties,
would be a blessing to thousands.
Dr. Kilmer & Co.. Binirhamtnn. M
Y., who prepare Dr. Kilmer's Swamp
Root, the well known kidney, liver and
bladder remedy, claim that judging
from evidence received from druggists
everywhere, who are constantly in
touch with their customers, and also
maispuiaoie prooi in the form of
grateful testimonial letters from
thousands of reliable citizens, this
preparation is remarkably successful
in sickness caused by kidney and blad
der troubles. Every interesting state
ment they receive regarding Swamp
Root is investigated and no testimoni
al is published unless the party who
sends it is reported of good character.
They have on file many sworn state
ments of recoveries in the most dis
tressing cases. They state that Dr.
Kilmer's Swamp-Root is mild and
gentle in its action and its healing in
fluence is soon noticed in most cases.
Swamp-Root is purely an herbal

such a remedy to give it a trial. It is
on sale at all drug stores in bottles of

TWO POEMS ON OPPORTUNITY
I. By John J. Ingalls, of Kansas.
Master of Human Destinies am I,
Fame, Love, and Fortune on my foot
steps wait.
Cities and fields I walk; I penetrate
Deserts and Seas remote; and passing
by
Hovel and Mart and Palace soon or
late
I knock, unbidden, once at every gate.
If sleeping, wake! If feasting, rise be
fore
I turn away. It is the hour of Fate
And those who follow me reach every
state
Mortals desire, and conquer every foe
Save Death. But those who doubt or
hesitate
Condemned to failure, penury an woe
Seek me in vain and uselessly implore
I answer not, and l return no more
II By Walter Malone, of Memphis.
They do me wrong who say I come no
more
When once I knock and fail to find you
in;
For every day I stand outside your
door,
And bid you wake, and rise to fight
and win.
Wail not for precious chances passed
away,
Weep not for golden ages on the wane
Each night I burn the records of the
day;
At sunrise every soul is born again.
Laugh like a boy at splendors that
have sped;
To vanished joys be blind and deaf
and dumb;
My judgments seal the dead past with
its dead,
But never bind a moment yet to come.
Though deep in mire, wring not your
hands and weep;
I lend an arm to all who say "I can!"
No shamefaced outcast ever sank so
deep
aui yet might rise and be again a
mam
Dost thou behold thy lost youth all
aghast ?
Dost reel from righteous retribution's
blow?
Then turn from blotted archives of
the past
And find the future's pages white as
snow!
Art tho a mourner ? Rouse thee from
thy spell;
Art thou a sinner? Sins may be for
given; Each morning gives the wings to flee
from hell,
Each night a star to guide thy feet to
heaven!

NINETEENTH CENTURY GER
MAN RENNAISSANCE
The development of Germany along
diverse lines of civilization, which has
been incredible since the close of the
war wth France in 1870, is usually at
tributed to the influence of the Kaiser,
when the credit really belongs to the
genius of his people. There was a
similar outbreak near the close of
the Napoleonic wars, when there was
no Prussian Kaiser to carry off the
glory. It was about that time that
such men as Goethe, Schiller, Kaut
and Lessing created works which the
"world will never willingly let die."
Under the literary and moral activ
ities of its great men, Germany expe
rienced early in the past century, a
veritable new birth, the spirit and
traditions of which have persisted
down to our own time. At the close
of the war with France in 1870 they
began to sway the country with new
energy. Germans now took an almost
undisputed place as head of the in
tellectual leaders of Europe. German
literature continued unchecked the
march in which it had been led by
Goethe and Schiller. German histori
cal and archaelogical investigations
and resarch conducted about this time,
shed much light on important matters.
The Germans have made many impor
tant inventions since that time, among
which are the dynamo, internal com
bustion engine and dirigible balloon
ihe industrial development in Ger-
many since 1870 has been as wonder
ful as the intellectual. Science has
been applied to industry with skill un
known in any other country. Such an
outburst of material and spiritual life
has seldom been seen here in all the
history of the world as that ofGerma-
ny since national victory over Louis
Napoleon.
Now, at the blare of the war trum
pets all this work must stop. The
fruits of industry and toil of genius
must wait under the tramp of battal
ions.
Process of Mttklng.
I do not know that the process of
milking has ever been described. The
forefinger first clasps the upper part
of the teat, and then the middle, ring
and little fingers, In rapid succession,
so as to drive the milk before them
through the orifice. The knack Is
rather difficult to acquire, and at first
very wearying to the hands, though
this soon passes. From "A Farmer's
Note Book," by C. E. D. Phelps.
Bismarck's "8acred" Number.
Belief in the number 3 was at
most a religion to Bismarck, for lt
ran like a vein of gold through all his
dazzling career. He served under
three months, and In three great
wars and signed three treaties of
peace. He was the father of the triple
alliance, and .from his three names
and as many words In his family mot
to, "Strength in Trinity," and his
three children, there was no period
or undertaking In bis life in which
this "sacred" figure was not of the
best omen to him.
Oil for Paint
For mixing with paint linseed oil
Is the one which is most commonly
used as an ingredient Other oils
might be tried and the best way to
test thefr relative worth is to mix
only a small quantity of paint and
test the result. Linseed oil, when
pure, is excellent, since lt oxidizes and
becomes thick on exposure to the air.
It may be considered the best of all
oils for use in paint, putty and Other,
similar substances.
Distrusted Education.
Education was considered a disqual
ification in a servant a century ago.
Even Hannah More, who did much to
promote the Sunday-school movement,
confined her curriculum to teaching the
children to read the Bible, the cate
chism "and such coarse works as may
fit them for servants." "I allow of
no writing for the poor," she stated
emphatically. , r c - ; .
Terrible Thought.

Differed as to Needed Sleep.
Sir Philip Sydney calls Bleep "the
poor man's wealth," and he might have
added, "lt is every man's health." The
"Immortal Alfred" of England divided
the day into three portions of eight
hours each, assigning one for refresh
ment and health of the body by sleep
and exercise, another for business and
the third for study and devotion.
Bishop Taylor considered three hours'
and Richard Baxter four hours' sleep
sufficient for any man.
HOW TO GET STRENGTH;
after any sickness is purely a matter of
nourishment, whether the attack was
an ordinary cold or severe illness; the
weakened forces cannot repulse disease
germs, and this is why a relapse is so
often fatal or why chronic weakness often
follows sickness.
Restoring strength to millions of people
for forty years has proven the real need
for taking Scott's Emulsion after any
sickness; nothing equals it nothing
compares with it. Its pure, medicinal
nourishment, free from alcohol or opiates,
promptly creates rich blood, strengthens
the nerves and lungs to avert tuberculosis.
RESULTS OF CO-OPERATION
The results of the co-operative
movement in Catawba County aa far
as material things are concerned have
been great, and still ureater thimrs
have been accomplished which are not

about all of these results, because ed

but much has been done bv, the intro

PRAISE OF THE PRESIDENT
From the Kansas City Star (Prog.)
In his speech in Kansas City, Kans.
last night, opening the State cam
paign for the Progressives, Henry J.
Allen declared for the new w'e in
county and State, affairs, defended
President Wilson's administration in
it? Mexican and other policies, and
declared that the new spirit in pol
itics called for the elimination of pol
itics from local and State offices. ,
"The only argument that is made
for the amalgamation of the Prog
ressive and Republican parties is that
we can 'whip the Democrats.' That
has been the aim of all our political
activities as far back as I can remem
ber. That is the reason-we have made
such slow progress in the develop
ment of government. Has it occurred
to you that possibly the Democrats
do not deserve to be whipped? If
Woodrow Wilson carries out his pro
gram and succeeds in doing what
everyone concedes that he is trying
to do, possibly the American people
will demand his re-election, and why
shouldn't they? That is the new
idea, the new spirit in politics.
"If he fails it will be because his
party is merely the Democratic party
and unable to catch the new spirit.
Then his party should be defeated,
just as the Republican party was de
feated. "Let us get the vision of the gov
ernment rather than the party.
"The people must first get posses
sion of the government and then ad
minister it for the people who live
under it and who pay the costs of the
administration. We can neither re
duce taxes nor promote the public wel
fare upon a platform of "whipping the
Democrats'."
COCAINE EVIL
(Raleigh Christian Advocate.)
The cocaine evil in this country is
one that is calling for serious consid
eration. Its use is especially preva
lent among negroes and is coming to
be a fruitful source of crime. It is
a drug that utterly debauches char
acter and seems to be even more pow
erful in its effects than alcohol. It
appears that crusade will have to be
waged against the whole question of
the "drug habit." When we see men
beings who are supposed to have
beings who are supposed to be rea
sonable and to have at least some
measure of common sense loading
themselves up with drugs and artifi
cial stimulants, we are forced to ask
whether or not they are in need of a
guardian. We confess to discourage
ment with the race at times because
of the absolute foolhardiness that we
are forced to witness. As to the vic
iousness of the men who pander to
perverted appetites of this sort for
gain, we are at a loss for words to
characterize it
MR. HUDSON WRITES ABOUT
WINTER. CROPS
Mr. C. R. Hudson, state agent in
farmers' co-operative demonstration
work, is sending out over the state a
letter to farmers directing them how
to prepare the soil for winter crops,
a feature in farming; that is being in
creasingly emphasized each year as a
necessity for the preservation of the
land and its rejuvenation. Mr. Hud
son's letter follows::
How to Plant Winter Growing Crops.
Civery farmer in- the state should
be interested in gjetting planted a
large acreage of winter cover crops,
such as rye, clovers, vetches, grasses.
etc. These crops are needed to hold
the soil together, to prevent washing
and leaching, to furnish grazing and
forage, to gather-nitrogen from the
air and to turn under to improve the
soil.
Specifiic directions for planting can
not be given that will suit all condi
tions of soil antf weather, but some
general suggestions may prove bene
ficial to farmers who desire to get the
best results passible for money and
time spent for seed and in getting
ready to plant
Next in importance to good, sound
seed, is a good seed-bed. The land
should be broken not less than eight
inches deep; from two to six weeks
before time to plant so that it will
have time to settle. Shallow plowing
does not let enough water into the
soil. If breaking .is done immediately
before planting and no rain falls the
soil shaa'.d be rolled' (when dry
enough)) to make it firm, but should
be we'll disced or harrowed to make
the tor? soil loose and fine. The mat
ter may be summed up by saying that
a good seed bed requires deep break
ing, settling, thorough harrowing and
moisture. The farmer who neglects
these things will generally fail to pro
cure a stand. By all means watch
soil conditions and, if possible, plant
when there is moisture present.
Many fields will need lime, espec
ially if any legume is to be planted
there. Determine this in time and ap
ply lime before planting, if it is need
ed. All legumes will need inocculation
ed. All legumes will need inoculation
to furnish beneficial bacteria, unless
the soil already contains the germs.
Inoculation may be had by spreading
soil from fields where the special crop
has grown and been found to contain
the germs. The State department of
agriculture, Raleigh, is now prepared
to furn'sh inoculating material at 50
cents per acre. The United States
department of agriculture, Washing
ton, D. C, will furnish it free. It can
be had from there through the dem
onstration agents. In getting it from,
either department, the order should
be sent in three or four weeks before
time to use the material.
The best time to plant winter grass
es and clover in this state varies very
much on account of our varying alti
tude. In a general way, we would say
that the best thirty days for planting
are about aa follows: In the moun
tains from August 15 to September
1; in the central part of the state,
from August 25 to September 25; in
the coastal plains from September 5
to October 6; along the tide water re
gion from September 15. to October
15, Remember that these crops
should be planted early enough to get
a good hold in the soil by winter, and
yet late enough so that they will not
be killed by the hot sun of late sum
mer. This requires good judgment
and knowledge on the part of the farj
mer. ,i j;g

DON'T TAKE WRONG MEDICINE
If your liver gets lazy you need a
liver tonic, not merely a laxative for
the bowels. Many people take a sim
ple laxative when the liver gets slug
gsh rather than take calomel, which
they know to be dangerous. But a
mer laxative will not ctart a sluggish
liver. What is needed ia a tonic that
will liven up the liver without forcing
you to ptay at home and lose a day
from your work. - -- A

THE GOSPEL OF LABOR
But I think the King of that country
comes out from his tireless host,
And walks in the world of the weary,
as if He loved it the most;
And here in the dusty confusion, with
eyes that are heavy and dim,
He meets again the laboring men who
are looking and longing for Him.
He cancels the curse of Eden, and
brings them a blessing instead;
Blessed are they that labor, for Jesus
partakes of their bread.
He puts his hands to their burdens,
He enters their homes at night;
Who does his best shall have a guest,
the Master of Life and night.
And courage will come with his pres
ence and patience return at His
touch,
And manifold sins be forgiven to
those who love Him so much;
And the cries of envy and anger will
change to the songs of cheer,
For the toiling age will forget its
rage when the Prince of Peace
draws near.
