LETTER FROM FORMER RAN DOLPH COUNTY MAN, NOW LIVING IN TEXAS A MERCHANT MARINE Gainesville, Texas, Nov. 23rd 1915. jlr. Editor: I read your paper weekly. The per sonality of the paper, or the names mentioned therein are strange to me now, yet frequently I see some that sre familiar; the name Steed, Al bright, Yow, Moffitt, Cox, Spoon and others, yet I do not know them by their names now, but these names call to my boyhood days, where I was born, in Randolph county, North Caro lina, at Moffitt's Mills. I am a grand son of Thomas C. Mollitt, (maternal) and a grandson of Eli Hayworth, who was a member of Springfield Quaker church in Guilford county neir High Point. These grandparents, paternal and maternal, have long since passed on, and their children, to a large ex tent, have followed. I really don't knw whether I have an uncle or aunt, patertial or mater nal, living. I am the son of D. H Hayworth and Hurrah L. Hayworth, (nee Mofiitt) who now lie silently in the Shiloh cemetery, who passed on, especially my motlier, several years ago. I still have two brothers, S. L. and H. G. Hayworth, who still live in Asheboro; and H. G., in Coleridge; and one sister, Mrs. Mofiitt, at Moffitts Mill, wife of Ben Moffitt. I mention the names in order that many of my old friends may ki'ow me from ancestry, and with the kindest remembrances of the days of my ear ly childhood and my young manhood, and th; ea-ly associates in and around Moflitt's Mill and old Shiloh, the church of my youth; and the old school, taught by Rev. J. R. Holt, at Shiloh, and the school where I receiv ed a greater part of my education, are to me a pleasant place to think of, and shall be n sweet nd pleas ant memory to me so long as I main on this mundsne sphere. JIv bovhood name, for short, was Em (Emory) and ma'.y will remem ber me by that name, of the old Shi loh students under Prof. Holt I am now living in Gainesville, Cooke county, Texas, and have so lived here for a number of years. It is city of about 10,000 or 12,000; it is the. cnintv seat of C:okc county. We have one of the finest systems of pub lie schools in the state; also large and fine churches of various dcromina- tion.s except the Quakers; really have not seen a Quaker maeting house since I left North Carolina; al.--o mentkn that they have a fine Parochial School here, taught by Cat"olis sisters. The county and city public buildings are pa." excellence. Ti commissioners court have just finished a ccunty j.iil, and ir all re spects up-to-date Mid perfectly sani tary. This county, outside of Gaines ville, has 5118 scholastic students, between the ages of 7 and 17 years; thisls in the rural districts, which in clude 91 v'.ifitricts and 4- independent school districts. Our public roads are looked after by the .commissioners' court; there being four commissioners, and presided over by the county judge as chaii-man; each commissioner h is a public road outfit, who works the roads ir. his precinct with hired labor , and ako works county convicts, from county and justice's o urt?. Our ju dicial system here is composed as fol lows: One juctice with Jurisdiction in all civil matters from $1,000 up wards; and all felony cases; county court has jurisdiction in civil cases 'exclusively from $200 to $500, ami concurrent with district court from : $500 to $1,000, and in misdemeanors and jurisdiction where the punishment is by fine and imprisonment in the county jail, also exclusively probate jurisdiction. The. vourt consists of one .iodge, county judge, and the justice ' court have fiaal jurisdiction in civil matters up to $20.00, and appelate jurisdiction with county court to $200, and jurisdiction ever misdemeanors " where the punishment is by line only; then we have our .lppclate courts, civ- j il, criminal, and supreme, .in the State. j There are one or two mon, besides myself, living in the cour.ty who were born and raised in Randolph county, among which is John Grcgson, who is a splendid citizen aui ia a contractor or builder, especially concrete and plasterer; also Dan H. Spoon, who is a Rrandson of uncle Henry Kivett, who was a tanner, near Liberty, w!io is now passed on for many years. Dan is a splendid farmer, live at home and boards at the same place in old North Carolina style. This county is largely an agricultural cour.ty, divided about equally betwacn timber and pra irie. The timbered country is the finest vegetable country I ever saw. When the European war broke out the United States was found in an un fortunate condition of having no mer chant ships. If this country is to have a merchant marine, as a source of pro tection, we must have a navy. The Wilmington Dispatch recently advanc ed eleven reasons for an effective navy. The Charlotte Observer em bodied them in most convincing editorial. Many read this editorial and ap plauded it most heartily. Mr. W. A Thomas, of Statesville, a most sensi ble business man and manufacturer, wrote the Observer a letter in which he expressed the sentiment of many briefly as follows: "If we expect to grow as manufac turers we must send our products to some other countries. Then, to com mand respect, we must have our Navy. I have been in some of the largest ports and could see almost every flag of the world but no Stars and Stripes. It makes one that loves his country feel small. We must have our merchant ma rine and we must have our Navy to protect it. I am delighted with this editorial. You strike direct at the heart of the subject. Give us mora of it." UNDER ANOTHER NAME That familiar things have different names in different countries was dis covered by an Englishman visiting this country. Thus he tells the story of the watermelons: I was eating dinner in an Eastern city, and saw on the menu, "Water melon." We have watermelons in England, but they are what you in America call "muskmelons." There fore I called the waiter and said "Bring me two watermelons." The dusky waiter's eyes grew large. and he protested: "Bot, sah, you don't want two watahmelonsl" I am not accustomed to have wait ers tell me what I want. I knew per fectly well what I wanted. I saw some other people at the next table smile at each other, and I was vexed Therefore I replied to the waiter with much dignity:' "I want two watermelons.' The waiter seemed about to protest again, but reconsidered it and went away. While he was gone, I looked round and found everyone within hear ing distance, smiling curiously. Look ing farther, I saw another waiter set ting down before another man a plate containing ai. immense round of some thing green outside and bright red within. Then I spied my own waiter returning, bearing on each, uplifted palm two immense green ovals. wonder they smiled! The smile was about to become a laugh. I though should die! Then an idea came to me When the waiter reached my place, looked at his burden quite judicially tapped each of thrr.e elephantine ". termelons," and then gave my order a clam, decided tone: "Bring me a slice from this one.

All druggists. The man who cannot read is forever" pitching his tent ir. the graveyard of dead experiments. The University News Letter. The ignorant pear driver docs not wear the pearl he wins; the diamond digger is not ornamented by the jewel ht finds; the ignorant toiler in the most luxuriant soil is not filled with the harvest he gathers. The choicest production of the world whether mineral or vegetable, where ever found or wherever gathered, will inevitably by some secret and resist- iless attraction make their way into the hands of the most intelligent. Let whoever will sow the seed or gather the fruit, intelligence consumes the banquet. Horace Mann. THE IMMENSE SIZE OF RUSSIA ' Russia constitutes one-sixth of the land area of the globe and possesfes one-twelfth of the world's inhabitants. Some one has said she might whip the earth if she could get all her men together, but they would use up all Russia's ammunition in the first fight. The Germans might get a thousand miles into Russia and then first be in the edge of it. Russia's territory is larger than all North America and has a greater area than the whole of the United States, Alaska, Canada, Mexico, Central America, Porto Rico, and all the islands of the West Indies and Carribean Sea. Her total area is 8,660,000 square miles, 1,800,000 square miles greater than the whole of South America, making her half the size of Asia, the greatest conti nent of the earth.

HAYWORTH, Mr. Victor Murdock, chairman of the Progressive National Committee, is dead sure that in 1916 "the Pro gressives will present a ticket that will personify their platform and in sure among the independent voters whom all parties the only unity of pur pose worth while in politics." And let ex-President Taft, who had some experience in the last election with the Progressive party, has just an nounced that it is going out of busi ness. Charlotte Observer. Dr. Chas. F. Pabst, coroners ahysi cian in Brooklyn, was horrified at the murder of children who were burned to death, determined to find some means of rendering clothing fireproof. He 6ays that an easy and inexpen sive method of accomplishing this is to make a solution of ammonium phos phate as follows: Dissolve one pound of ammonium phosphate in one gallon of cold water, and a clear solution is formed in which the garment to be fire-proofed should soaked for five minutes. Then remove the garment and let it dry, after which it may be worn with perfect safety, as it is abso lutely fireproof. This medical bath will not injure the fabric any more than does plain water and is non-poisonous. The ammonium phosphate conies in a powder at about twemty-five cents a pound at the drug gist's and the article fire-proofed will remain so until woshed or drenched with rain. Draperies for entertain ments and amateur scenery should be drenched with this bath to safeguard the participants in crowded festivities. Why Yon Should Use Chamberlain's Cough Remedy.
