He was never married and has lived by himself for many years and prepared his own meals and seemed to enjoy himself not caring for any of the luxuries of the day. He always enjoyed having his friends call on him and showed to them his hospitality in this simple way of life and while he was considered rather close in deal ings, yet any one calling on him while in need was never sent away wanting, Mr. Foust, our county farm dem onstrator, was exhibiting Monday a bunch 'of so ja beans grown by Mr. John Reightsell on his farm near Ramseur. The plants, which were of the Mammoth late variety, were more than three feet in length and were at about the proper stage of maturity to be cut for hay. Mr. Foust had a bunch of the early Hollybrook variety which had matured. For early sowing with peas or to make forage for hogs this early variety is the best since it produces more beans and less hay. The late variety is best adapted for hay. This variety of soja beans may be sown in rows, cut later with reaper for hay and another fall crop such as clover or oats be sown after tho cutting. Wherever in the county these beans have been sown they have given satisfaction. Mr. Foust s opti mistic over the outlook for future sowings.

IN MEMORIAM Martha Carolina Jones Curtis was born Jan. 13, 1882, departed this life Sept 23rd, 1915. J. W. Curtis and Martha C. Curtis were united in marriage May 15th, 1903. There were born unto them five children, four of whom still survive. On Jan. 25th, 1905, the angel messen ger came and carried little Edith away and Feb. 18th, he came and took Aunt Lau Curtis, again he came, on Sept 23rd, and carried away the mother and wise. The messenger has come into this home three times in one year. This is unusual. Sister Curtis became a Christian very early in life, and joined the church at Gray's Chapel, later moved her membership to Liberty where she continued to live a consistent Chris tian life. When a girl she was an ac tive Christian worker. She was a de voted wife and mother. Her father and mother, Mr. end Mrs. Madison Jones, of Gray's Chapel, husband and children, and many friends and rela tives are sadly bereaved, but hhey can look through the shadows, and see the light of a blessed immortality, and expect to meet her in the mansions above. Liberty church has lost one of its beat members, the community one of its best women. The funeral service was held on Sept 24, 1911, in liberty M. P. church, ooadueted by her pastor, and assisted by Revs. W. C. Kennett, Spruil, Willis, (last two Baptist) and Rev. J. A. Ledbetter assisted in the singing. There was, perhaps, the largest gathering ever seen in Liberty on a funeral occasion. Many and beautiful were the foral designs. The beautiful and impress ive service of the Eastern Star was performed at the grave. Bro. Curtis and his four little children have the sympathy of their many friends and relatives. M.

William Jennings Bryan de livered his famous peace lecture be fore a large and sympathetic audi ence at Piedmont Py.rk, Winston-Salem, Friday afternoon. He went from there to Greensboro where he spoke in the academy of music Fri day night THE DEMOCRATIC BRAND The Federal Reserve Banking Ad is the mudsil of the present pros perity in the South. The good price of cotton is founded on it as on a rock. It was knowledge of the facili ties ef suah a banking system that placed the farmers in a more ad vantageous position than they have held since the Civil War. It made hem independent of the market, or it might be said that it made the market dependent on them. Cotton authorities and newspapers that are engaged in efforts to explain just why the cotton market is in such a healthy shape at this time must have found the explanation first ef all on the Democratic banking and currency law. All these years past the Repub lican party had it in its power to give the country this same condition of prosperity, but stubbornly refused to change the banking and currency laws so as to conform to the changed conditions of the country. The pros perity now prevailing is of the Demo cratic brand, and there is no getting around that fact Charlotte Observ- WHAT KANSAS WOMEN DO Kansas is the women's free State. When women find their status in other States is confining their inalienable rights, let them try the Sunflower State: Here are some of the things women can do legally in Kansas: Can take back her maiden name after her husband dies, without legal process or legislative act Can keep her own name when she is married. Can persuade her husband to take her name and give up his family name, if she does not like it Can keep her maiden name, and her husband can keep his name. Can retain her maiden name for business transactions and use her husband's name for Social affairs. If wife does not like either her name or her husbands, they can take a name that suits them better. A woman can wear men's clothing without restriction, except that she must not pose as a man. She can vote at every election. ' She can hold any office in the State and run for Congress. In other words, a woman in Kan sas can do anything, almost, a znaa can do, and somethings he can't. IN 1916. 1 Any way they may figure it, the prospects remain distinctly of a dis couraging nature for Republican hopes in 1916. The National Repub lican party is surrounded by in numerable troubles, chwf of which is the absolute lack ef a leader. They have cast about in vain for a man who would stand the last chance against Wilson. The next acute trou ble ia the lack of an issue. The Democrats can well afford to stand pat on their tariff, currency and trust bills and even on the President's Mexican policy, and it is going to be safe en National defense. The World's Work for October gives an impartial review of the issues for the next cam paign and it makes out a promising case for- the Democrats. The only possibility U that the Democratic party may leave National defense as aa issue for the Republicans and that alone. The full dinner pail is out of date. The Republicans can net use Colonel Bryan in any way as an asset and "anything that might have been made out of the Mexican situation has lest its importance ia the shadows of our dealings with Ger many." Moreover, as The World's Work sees it, "Republican personali ties have suffered from the lack of the dignity and power of office. There are no inspiring figures ef men o prime leadership. In a year many things may happen but at present there seems to be no figure on the horizon that in any way bulks with the personality now ia the White House." The beauty in this situation is that it is so hopeless true the Re publicans are robbed of even the small pleasure of giving denial to it Charlotte Observer. Roland G. Hill has landed a regular job with the Edison Company in New York City.
