The foilowing letter was v/» it

and is worth while to reproduce,
with the reply of the Repuolican
ekphant.
N-riW York, Aug. loth, 1912
My dear Mr. Elephant:—V/(
.lave never been on friendi.\
cerms-you have had your graz
.ng grounds and I have had mine
As the good book says the oji
noweth its master’s crib--th^.
^amc of a d nkey. But it is now
vime for us to act. The litth
animals like Socialism with n"
emblem have never disturbec
us—the members of those par^ie^
just shouting for the fun of i.\
and to give the walking delegat
es a chance to ride in the chaii
cars and draw a salary—but J
have been waraed that we mus:
form a community of interests—
vve must do something to protec
ourselves. Imagine a Democrat
ic jackass talking aDout Protect
ion—but I see now that we need
it. Your pasture has been al
ways a little larger than mine;
you have always had better grain
and more of it-^the hand-outs
coming your way were from the
richer people-ha, ha, the Pro
tected people—but now I want
you to join me and see if we can
not do something which will be
of mutual benefit.
You - have doubtless noticed
here of late that a large Bull
Moose has come in our feeding;
grounds. He is a animal as largt
as you—larger than your hunible
servant, and if we do not com
bine against him, form a trust—
(again I hear you laugh to see me
talking about trusts) — and de
feat him, the grazing ground
which we supposed belonged to
us will'be literally taken by the
Bull Moose and his bi^ood.
What would you suggest? Yoi;
see a bull moose eats just what
we eat; he will want to take ou:
grazing land for his pasture—and
what will become of us? Let U'
get together, dear Mr. Elephant,
and do something.
An early reply will much oblige,
Yours truly,
The Democratic Donkey.
New York, Aug. 15,1912.
Dear Democratic Donkey:
Yours of even date received.
Ordinarily I do not recognize a
political jack ass, but as you say,
you are now in need of protec
tion and as you are favoring a
trust I feel that maybe you have
awakened and want to shed your
skin. But it is too late.
My party waited too long to
feel the public pulse—to take in
itiative without the referendum,
and now, another hungry anima!
comes along emblematical of
baled hay; hot air; prunes, pru
nella and puff pudding. Of course
I see that the finish of one of us
or both of us in sight unless we
do something. - Your master re
cently jumped the track by com
ing-out for likker where likker
people want it. and I fear that
the Bull Moose has us both on the
run -unless we cap do sometj^Qg^
f« . Vhake nim tfi. Y - u see he

are a uatient. humble, tired
jackais which Bryan rode to
deatn and I don’t see whao you
can do^ l am strong and if the
Bull Moose gets my co;it of
coarse it can’t last lung—as there
iS but one Bull Moose in all me
A^orid who can leail the flocK. i
see that J^orth Carulina has ai
ready ^plit and you *’111 find tha
the Buil Moose isfi’t jast wha
you imagine.
Bat frankly I do not see wh>,
I should come to your assisi-
ince. I am a st^nd-patter—hav*
my trunk with me and it is al
ways packed. You may go alpnj.
your way and I will go mine
Howeverj if you want to try and
arrange a meeting with the bull
moose I will attend and see if
we can’t form an alliance whert
by he will keep on his side of
his own barb vHre fence. You
continue to picK up a few thist
les here and there; giv« me the
&aled hay and let the bull moost-
get what ht- carj.

RUAL TELEPHONES;
We aye glad to noticei that .quite
a number of farmers of this
county^have recently installed
telephones in their country homes
with connection with the Durham
exei’iange. There is nothing that
adds more to the comforts and
pleasure of Hying in the country
than a telephone. It brings to
the home assurances of safety
from many evilis that come to the
country honae. The telephone
places the home in instant con
nection with medical aid; it com
mands instant assistance incase
jf accident, fire or other calamity,
and m case of business it is of
very great importance.,
The farmer wh > has a tele^
phone in his home saves his horsed
and teams many needless trips.
He can know when to go to mark6t
by phoning and finding out the
price of pr^ucts on the day he
expects to go to market. If the
prices are low he can wait until
next day, or next week.
In fact the advantages of the
telephone in the country home
4ie so numerous that it is im
possible to mention them in de
tail. We are glad to know that
our famers are waking up to
their value, and we predict that
as a few live, progressive farmers
install these conveniences that
others will follow.
At present we have several
lines running out from Durham.
We hope to see the day come
when the entire county will b^
covered by rural phone lines. -

Surgeons Find Hardware «tir«

When physicians operated upon
John^ viaiTi'ier at the Countv
Hospital today to learn what had
caused “terrible pains in his
stomach,’* they found nineteen
pocket knives, seventeen nails,
five knife blades, a dozen screws
and a silver dollar. For eighteen
years Martir)er. who has been
known to Chicagoans as ‘'the
human tool chest,” swallowed the
articles on wagers,
‘gating knives and all that
stu'ff never hurt me," said Ma-
rtiner before the operation, “but
sometimes Fd get terrible pains
in my stomach.”
Physicians pronounced the oper
ated successful. ' VTartiner is 36
years old and is employed as a
labor.
The pocket krives, screws a..d
other articles lemoved from
Martiner’s sfconwch 'vere mount
ed on cardboard by Superinten
dent D. P. Teters, of the hospital
and placed on exhibition at the
institution.
‘‘All of the articles were loged
in a corner of the stomach,”
said the surgeon who operated
on Martiner. “An ulcer had
formed and the man would have
died within k month if he had not
been operated upon.”
Ten of the knives had been
bonehandled but the bone had
been dissolved by the gastric
juices. The woodenhandled
knives were intact. The silver
dollar, which Martiner swallowed
ten > ears agoj was a bright as if
the coin had just come from the
ipint. The juices of the stomach
had kept the silyer in a highly

Farmers of Alamance and adjoining ecu

the poor prospects for a good crop of

about as much money as if the seasons ha
been good. My reason for saying this, is o
account of the shortage in pounds. Price
will bie much higher than if this had been
full crop. I am just back from South Carolin
The crop was only fair there, still the gener
average of the entiie State will be near $12 per hundre
With the crop extremely short in this State. I expect i
