The Courier Asheboro, N. C, December 23, 1915 PUBLISHED EVERY THURSDAY W5L C HAMMER, EDITOR WINTER COURSE FOR FARMERS The winter course for fanners at Urn A. and M. College will be held from January 10 to February 5. The course will include a general study of the farm crops, livestock, poultry, and fruit growing. Interest in livestock in North Caro lina has steadily grown for the past ten years. The introduction of better breeding stock has demanded an in creased knowledge of selection, and feeding animals. Feeling that the problems confronting the livestock growers are probably the greatest connected with North Carolina farm ing, those in charge will give special attention to judging, feeding, and al lied subjects. DEMONSTRATION WORK IN RANDOLPH COUNTY Plans are being made by Mr. I. H. Foust, Randolph county's efficient farm demonstrator, to make 1916 a banner year for Randolph. He is ad ding to his office equipment and will soon have an office filled with photo graphs and displays of the products of Randolph farms. Each year more interest has been taken in the demon stration work by the fanners of the county and during the past year the demonstration work has been partic ularly successful in the interest creat ed in grasses and legumes. Other crops have not been neglected and the records the fanners who have taken advantage of the demonstration work have made are very good and are en couraging. Terracing and the building of silts have not been neglected. Randolph Is essentially an agricul tural county. Some of the best farm ing land and some of the best farm ers in the State are to be found in this county. Each year interest in farming . grows and the county has made rapid progress in agricultural lines the past few years. The value of legume cover crops is being rec-( ognized by our farmers and they testi fy to their faith in this essential part of agriculture by putting each year more and more land in legumes. Stock raising is one of the important phases of farming. Not enough live stock is raised in Randolph. Each year money is sent out of the county for live stock which could be grown at homo. Next year it is to be hoped that our farmers will pay more at tention to this matter so that some of the money that is paid out for live ttock may be kept at home, The Charlotto Observer has the fol lowing to say of tho militant democra cy of the country: "The President's friendly little talk to the members of tho Democratic National Executive Committee finds a happy echo in the consciousness of a militant Democracy throughout the country. "Our constructive work." aecU.res the Freaidimt, "has started an irvcsistable movement which can not fce stopped." And he called the Republican bluff by an effective bit of exprersive slang. "Anyone who tells you otherwise ii talking through his hat," he declared. Republicans are clinping to dead hopes. There is not an element in the situation which of fers them any chance of success in 1916. Were they united and aggres sive as of old the way for them would te ttorny and the hope of ultimate goal forlorn. . Divided, disgruntled, Icaderle&s, the ardor of their fighting spirit cooled by the potent , success of Democratic measures, there is small hope of. Jthem ' even 'Becoming interested or interesting in the cam paign, Jfcreftof vV. sue except the tTHfi tncy have nothing to fight for but the offices-and that is not a win ning issue when fairly presented to the American public. The outlook could not be more hopeful f rwn a Democratic . stand point. The president and the Com mittee were entirely : justified in the joyous atmosphere which pervaded the meeting. ONLY ONE ISSUE Mr. Taft is mistaken when he says that the tariff will be the main issue in MIS. The main issue . in that campaign has already been denned by President Wilson in two words "America first" Until that question is definitely set- '. tied, no other Issue is important This ' cosntry must determine once and for II whether In its national aspirations, ideals and sympathies it is to be all AmeritM or half alien. ' , , Tfc German vote has forced this ' iosoa, s4ae Asaerieaa vote wi3 hat to decide it, H .. . rf! la the TwBTthhn' CraamnloBfil . dctriet W Nw .Yark' w hm seen Ctm&n Tstws eetnbtae afatnet el candidate for Congress for no oinci reason than that he belonged to the same political party as the President of the United States. In Urooklyn, John J. Fitzgerald, one of the ablest men in Congress, was defeated for the office of Justice of the Supreme Court by German voters who secretly organ ized against him to rebuke the Presi dent for upholding international law and American rights. German newspapers, both in Ger many and the United States, have boasted that the elections of Nov 2 were, as the Berlin Morgenpost ex presses it, "a heavy moral defeat for the President" because of his refusal to make the United States a vassal of the German Empire. This German conspiracy extends not only to the President and his party, but it extends to American industry, American finance and to the funda mental institutions of the American people. This conspiracy works .not only through the ballot, but through the torch and the bomb and the bullet. It is the most sinister phenomenon that has appeared in American life since the death of slavery and secess ion, and until it is disposed of no man can be sure that the great Republic is more than a hollow shell. Mr. Taft has given to the country a splendid and inspiring example of disinterested patriotism in his support of the President's foreign policy since the beginning of the war. It is upon men like Mr. Taft that the country must depend if this new Copperhead ism is finally crushed and trampled under the foot of true Americanism. But until this is done, how trivial are questions of tariff or trusts or corpo rations, how trivial are all the issues upon which this generation of Ameri can voters have hitherto been accus tomed to divide! New York World. WILSON IN 1916 (Front The New Orleans States.) Ken tacky, which was for Clark at Baltimore in 1912, leads the country in endorsing Wilson for renomination next year. Illinois, which was against Wilson almost to the end, is to do the same thing. Signs are not wanting that Demo crate in all the remaining States will follow the lead of these two. There will be renomination of favorite sons next year. Unless a miracle occurs, so far as the rumination is concern ed, it will be Wiibon by acclamation. Long ago Champ Clark, far-seeing politician, told those who wanted to groom him for next year's race that he couldn't be persuaded to be a candidate. He felt that the Demo crats roust nominate Wilson to vindi cate their Administration. If they failed to do so, he didn't think the nomination -would be worth having. The .Democrats will choose Wilson not only for the reason Mr. Clark suggested. They will pick him not only because of his strong Hffld on the confidence of the people of the" country. They will nominate him be cause he is the strongest man by odds in his party. Mr. Cleveland was nominated in 1SS3 over the opposition of a powerful wing in his party. He was on bad terms wita many members of Con- I gress. He was formidably oppoeea uy David Bennett Hill and his followers. Again in 1892 there were many ele ments within the party who wanted some other leader. But Wilson has held the party unit ed behind him. - There are no schisms within it He is on good terms with Congress. He has the respect of the Democracy of every State, not even excepting Louisiana, which has some ground for sulking. The reason is easily explained. Cleveland was able and of powerful will. .Wilson is able and of powerful will. But Wilson possesses tact, patience and political skill and Cleveland had none of these. ' Hence, while Cleveland split his party'Wilson has bent it to his will and whereas., Cleveland's renominn tions were oyer bitter antagonisms, Wilson's will be without' resistance. The election of 1916 is a long way ahead. Before it comes mucn water will Tss under the bridge. " But if the situation then Is as it is now wiison-s election will be as certain as his re nomination is.

HASTY EATING The Health Bulletins issued by the State Board of Hearth calls attention from issue to issue the importance of taking Ume to thoroughly masticate the food we take into our stomachs, that it will not have to be washed down with hot coffee or cold water. Man is the only animal that God has created that has to be guarded against over-eating. The common hog, a com mon synonym for gruttony, does not overeat, and even a mule mayv.be trusted in a field of train not to ofer feed. -FOR SALE A food Chatham Co. farm; ' For partScoUurs, addles Box THE HOLIDAY'S Thanksgiving has passed and the Christines holidays are upon us. Christmas is still a "Merry Cristmas" for us, although the men in the trenches in fighting Europe will be able to look backward to many anoth er Christmas which was merrier for them, and, we may hope, look forward ta other merry Christmases to come. There is just ono thing that will go to make our own Christmas a more merry one, and that is for the time being to forget ourselves r.nd become a "regular guy." A regular guy is an open-hearted opsn-handed, decent sort of a feliow who believes that others have a right to some happiness on earth and is willing to do his sliare to help them get it. . It dcesnt cost what we do docs;it decide our status much to be a regular guy, because so much as the spirit with which we do it. Suppose you r.re so poor that you can't affcrd to give even a penny away. You can smile", can't you? You can hesitate by the beggar in the street and wish him 3 "merry Christ mas'" You can feel in your heart that this is a season of good will to men, and show it in your bearing toward your follow men. If the world has been good to you, now is the time to repay your debt. Give something to someone who needs it. You don't have to give much, but, if necessary, make a sacrifice. Don't let Christmas eo bv without becomiug human, if only for a minute. A nickle here, a dime there, a rag doll for a little girl who never had a doll, or an overcoat for the lit tle fellow who brings your paper who hasn't got an overcoat, wont mean much to you, and it might make the Christmas merry for the little one. a regular guy. MOONLIGHT SCHOOL WORK In connection with the moonlis-ht school work that is just now being undertaken so extensively in North Carolina, The Star is requested to nub- lish the following from some of the recent literature issued in the interest of the movement: What are the figures to be changed: 291,497 illiterates in North Carolina today T 18.5 per cent, of North Carolina's population illiterate! 232,226 illiterates over twenty-one years of age. 131,992 native born white illiterates! 12.3 per cent, of North Carolina's white population illiterates. In the United States the ner cent. is 3.7 illiterate. In the South the ner cent is 7.7 il literate. In North Carolina the ner cent, is 12.3 illiterate. 124,552 white illiterates live in the country. 13.5 per cent, of North Carolina's white country population illiterate! 7,440 white illiterates live in towns. 5 per cent, of North Carolina's white town population illiterate! In the various counties of the Stats illiteracy ranges from 3.2 in New Han over to 19.4 in Cherokee, from 4.6 in Mecklenburg to 22.4 in Mitchell, from 9.8 in Wake to 21.7 In Wilkes, from 14.3 in Sampson to 20.5 in Stokes, and so on. These are the furores to be changed. ' How are these figures to be chamr- edT By teaching tho illiterates in moon light schools, which are simply night schools for adults. Wilmington Star. FOR FARM BOYS AND GIRLS It's an unusual thing for a Southern paper to announce articles for publica tion from Secretary McAdoo, Secre tary Houston, Secretary Lane, Secre tary Darnels, Thomas A. Edison, Rear Admiral Peary, Champ dark, Henry Cabot Lodge, Luther Burbank, Jobs Burroughs, Senator ' Tillman, James Whitccmb Riley, and Lyman Abbott; but ail these men and a long list of others have scut contributions for a scriej of "Success Talks" for South ern farm boys and girls in The Pro grossiva Fumer during 1916. Other Progressive Farmer features include a 52-week "Readi: Course In Good Farming;," giving the boy who canaot go to collge tho fundamentals of agricultural science, and a similar course for girls- under the heading, "How the Wide-Awake Girls Learned Good Housekeeping." . Every farmer who has boys or girls between 10 and 18 ought to be on the lookout for these articles. Work will begin soon in the con struction of a large addition to the Stchli Silk Mill at High Point. Henry F. Green, a native of North Carolina, for six years U. S.
