IN AN OLD GRAVEYARD Mr. and lire. Ray MeCrsy and Mr. A. L. Fletcher made a trip down to the old bnrying ground at Jersey Baptist church, near Linwood, one day last week. In looking over the older section of the cemetery they were etcnik with the odd inscriptions on some of the tombstones. Here is one of the oldest: "You lookers-oa and stanulcrs-by, As you are now so once was I: As I am now so rmmt you be, - Therefore, prepare to follow me." This inscription was cn the tomb stone of Hujs'h McCrary, who died in 1785, at the age of 65. Another reads as follows: "Here lies Arthur O'Nail, Bereft of breath, To rest in peace, Since passing death." Probably the quaintest of all these is the following: "Here lies the body of Joseph Cunningham, Junior, who departed this life ano domino April 10, 1803. Beneath this stone this body lise, This stone is sot To Mark the spot, Lest men should dig too me.' There are a number of stones in this burial place marking the resting place of people who were born be fore 1700. One of the oldest graves found was that of a person who had died in 1767. The early tombstones are of native stone, resembling slate. Davidson Dispatch. SUGGESTIONS FOR CURING HAY IN SOUTH Death of Mrs. Luther. Mrs. Martitia Luther, wife of Wil born Luther, died at her home near Eleazer August 30th, 1915, aged 63 years. She leaves a husband, three children and two sisters to mourn their loss. Several Towns Insanitary. According to a recent statement of Dr. J. R. Gordon of the Vital Statis tics Department of the State Board of Health there are not a few towns in North Carolina showing bad sani tary indices. The sanitary index of a town as explained by Doctor Gordon is based on the number of deaths from preventable diseases per 1,000 population. As the number of deaths from preventable diseases are high or low in a town, the sanitary index of a town rises or falls accordingly. "I have used Chamberlain's Tablets and found them to be just as repre sented, a quick relief from headaches, diaiy spells and other" symptoms de noting a torpid liver and a disordered condition of the digestive organs.

"GROWING COLORED COTTON" Says the Baltimore Sun: "If it be true that a South Caroli nian has succeeded in growing colored cotton, it iB a great achievement and will have an important effect on in dustries. One result will be to in jure the German dyemakers. Another will be the production of cotton cloth in colors that will not fade nor run. The colors said to have been produced are tan, yellow, green, olive green, brown and bronze. The South Caro linian hopes to produce black cotton, and why not black cotton as well as the famous black tulip ? If the thing has been accomplished, it is one of the greatest triumps of scientific ag riculture. If some one wil now grow spools of cotton, it will be another triumph."

Comfort : and : Class IN OUR Men's Ready-to-wear Suits (Prepared by the United States Depart' ment of Agriculture.) The cure given the hay crop has much to do with its selling price on the city market One of the greatest obstacles In the way of producing hay in the great agricultural sections of the South, which Imports more than one-fifth of all the hay It uses, Is the matter of curing. Rains are heavy in the South, and often come 'at har vest time. Weather-stained hay, un less badly damaged. Is quite satisfac tory as a feed for farm stock, but there is a strong prejudice against It In the city markets. The following suggestions for curing southern hay are contained In United States Depart ment of Agriculture Farmers' Bulle tin No. 677, "Growing Hay In the South for Market." The curing of grass hay In favorable weather Is a simple process. Curing Is really a combination of three proc esses, drying, fermentation and bleach ing. The first two processes are nec essary and desirable; the third is un desirable, but in field curing It can not be entirely avoid! To secure the best Quality of hay the drying proc ess must not be too slow. To avpid uneven drying the familiar processes of tedding sod cooking are commonly employed. Tedding Is simply the turning or scattering of the cut grass after It It partially dry on top. It may b done by hand with a pitchfork or, pref erably, by a hore-lrawn machine called a tedder. When toe crop Is very beayy jjje grass I sometimes tedded when In the swath, but usual ly not until after It has been raked iglftas - Cocking consists of putting the par tially cured hay Into small piles. The object Is twofold: (1) It reduces the surface exposed to moisture that may fall upon It, either as dew or rain, and (2), It evens up the dry ing, for the reason that the relatively dry leaves oontlnue to draw water from the molster stems. Incidentally, cockjng also reduces the amount of bleaching. In unfavorable weather the labor of curing hay is much increased, as the cock, until sufficiently dry, should be spread at each favorable opportunity and recocked again in the evening or when rain threatens. If ha." that is not sufficiently dry be placed in the barn or stack it is likely to become moldy and dusty. Cut hay should never be handled while wet with rain or dew. As the surface of the hay, if lying In the swath, Is the part which was best cured before the rain. It is In the best position to dry promptly. If in the windrow, the stirring of the hay would bring the surface moisture in contact with the drier hay beneath, by which it would be readfty absorbed. Bale Hay Only When Sweating Is Completed. The fermentation of hay takes place during the process of drying, and be cause of It the. characteristic sweet odor is developed. The process is accompanied by the formation of heat, which is particularly noticeable in the later stages c t curing In the cock, the stack, or mow. The final stage of fermentation U called sweating. The process of sweating continue, for a considerable period and hay should never be baled until the sweating has ceased. It for any reason curing be long protracted the hay becomes bleached or weather-stained and loses most of its aroma. Legumes, with the exception of lespedeza. are far more difficult to cure than grasses. This is due large ly to their solid, more succulent stems, and to the fact that the leaves shed readily if the curing process is delayed, so that much of the leafage, the most nutritious part of the hay, Is lost. Furthermore, legume hay ab sorbs rain or dew more readily, both in the windrow and in the cock. Fin ally, legume hay Is very apt to heat excessively In the sweating process if put In the stack or mow when not sufficiently cured. This heating Is often sufficient to char the hay In the center and sometimes to cause fires. Legume hay should therefore never be put into a barn when half cured. Curing may be considered completed when the stems are apparently dry. In this state a wisp of the hay Is dry enough to rattle if gently shaken and breaks readily when tightly twisted In the hand. 6peJal Devices for Hay Curing. To hasten the dry! of bay and to prevent the Injury ef half-cured hay by rain, several devices often used are 'Helpful and here described, bat each- necessitates additional labor. .Yariou forma of bay. apt to protejej cocks from rain have been used. The simplest is a piece of canvas about three feet square with a weight at each corner. A perch Is simply a pole or stake about six feet long, prefer ably with one or more cross arms three to four feet long. The stake is driven into the ground and the green or half-dried plants are bung upon It so as to make a tall, narrow cock. Perches are much used In curing pea nuts and cowpeas. A pyramid con sists of three or four legs, usually six to eight feet long, pointed at the top and commonly sharpened below, so they can be fastened firmly In the ground. Croespieces joining the legs are also useful. A pyramid permits the building of rather large cocks with a hollow space In the middle, which helps greatly in drying the hay. The objection to all of these devices is the additional labor and cost in volved. They are considered more useful for legumes than for grassea Additional Information on growing hay 1l the South Is contained In this bul letin, No. 677, and may be had upon application to the editor and chief of the division of publications.

HANDY BAG-FILLING DEVICE y Means ef Arrangement ehown In Illustration One Man Can Work Satisfactorily While Alone. ' A handy device for filling bags can be made by following the plan given herewith: Set up three poets, as shown in pic ture. The apex should be about six feet from the ground. Screw into eaoh part a stout hook at the height that will let the bag rest lightly on the Device for Filling Bags. . t ground when filled. It they are too high the bag will tear out By means of this arrangement one man can do the work of one man and a boy. It can easily be moved from one place to another, as the posts can easily be made of 2 by 4 inch pine material, light enough for a man to carry easily. Poor Methods at Fault. What we need today is better fann ing, better system of rotation and more land in grass. Coder such man agement we can put stock raising on a money-making basis aud gradually build up our soils. The great trouble today Is not that of poor land so much as It is poor methods of soil handling. Much of the trouble is due to the fact that we do not measure up to the present-day requirements as farmers.

Yates made a business trip to High Point last week. Mr. and Mrs. John Hunt, of Mar tha, visited at W. R. Garner's last Friday and Saturday. J. A. Garner visited at Henry Gar ner's on Denton Route last Thursday. J. F. Yates made a business trip to Denton last Friday. Mrs. Mary Hill visited her son, At las Bidge, at Flora, last Sunday. Mr. and Mrs. Ernest Yates, of High Point, visited P. R. Yates Monday. The children of Mary Ridge set her a birthday dinner last Saturday. A determination to enforce the exist ing laws of Iowa would prove the po litical oblivion of officials of that state. Some of these strange laws have been on the statute books for years. New laws governing the same things have been passed without repealing the old ones, with the result that a person de siring to conform to all the laws would find himself seriously embarassed by conflicting legal demands on his con duct. For instance, newspapers pub lishers in Iowa have found a demand in Iowa for Sunday newspapers, yet a law forbids publishing a newspaper on Sunday in that state. If the laws were observed, no place of amusement picture shows, theatres, baseball parks or summer parks would be open on Sunday. The law sats no dainties nor luxuries may be purchased on San day. There is a question that a rail road train may be run through the state legally on Sunday, but it is cer tain that a man may net purchase a cigar nor a woman a piece of chewing gum on that day. The law forbids women offering prizes at card parties, and boys are not allowed to purchase or smoke cigarettes. The law also for bids trusts or business combinations in the state. In spite of these laws, however, public opinion in many towns demands the theatre remain open on Sunday, baseball is played, summer parks run and even the big state fair was open on the Sabbath. The passage of laws is not more important than the repeal of those that have become obso lete or which are nullified by public opinion. Having a law upon the books which cannot be enforced produces that great evil, a disrespect for all laws. When the people realize that a law cannot be enforced, even if a ma jority seems to favor it, they should not allow themselves to be made the STAR NEWS.
