' Stanly county farmers shipper a ; car of live poultry last week of 16,862 ! pounds. The poultry was weighed jon the car and each farmer aeceived his check immediately. There were \ about 3.000 birds in the shipment, d. i H. Rurleyson, of Albemarle Route 6, had the record of shipping the smal lest amount of poultry, amounting to SI.BO L. M. Crayton, of Mt. Pleas ant Route 1. had the largest amount, which amounted to * $185,071 The torn' amount received for this poul try was $21577 50. This shipment was a very gaud beginning for the people of the county and plans have already been made to ship several o h»r cars during tie season if the : > ices will, justify it. Most of the poultry shipped were the poor layers.; Xlany culling demonstrations were iielil and here the far inerts had an opportunity to learn how to cull. A large number knew how themselves. This is a further demonstration that poultry is a real crop and compares favorably with the other farm crops grown in the county. This experience should stimulate a greater interest in the average farm flock. Will He Name Them? - L Stanly News-Herald. Those friends anu supporters of , Senator Overman who felt keen dis -1 appointment at learning that he had P voted and worked against the Sen ate's movement to investigate the con duct and business, methods of the ! American Aluminum Company, were still the more disappointed at his ex | planntion. . Senator Overman, an- I'swering criticisms against him for 1 his stand against the majority of hie ! party leaders, stated that he received i j telegrams from friends in North aCr [jolina asking him to oppose the in t\ vestigatiou because it might hamper |,the Baditt plant, and that in response [ thereto he took the stand for which l + hc luks been criticized.

THE CONCORD TIMES Metropolitan Cities Lose Title To World's Largest Newspaper j Metropolitan newspapers of the North and East have at last begs iandcv. a real jolt by Miami. Fla Journals in cities ot the million J flass -New York. Chicago. Fhtla lelphm. Detroit, etc., —have been J well*. U to view Miami’s rise with ; i tolerant smile. The sunkist city ! »n Biscavne Bay might be a very J jve little burg, they admitted but ! - well, at lei all, it was just a j thriving center that could in no ' wise compete with them for pres tige and powerl I Now, tyawever. it appears that even New York and Chicago must take a seat behind Miami in the field of paid newspaper advertis ing. And that touches, very ten derly. the sensibilities of the great newspapers in those teeming centers of civilization. In other words, a Miami news- Kper —The Herald—-in 1925, pub hed a greater vylume of paid Advertising than any other news- Kper on earth—42,613,436 lines, to exact Just one cstance illustrates the CALL- ME ONE— New York Daily Mirror.

Call me rose. 1 just can't help rambling around. Advertising Merchants. Monroe Enquirer. The merchant who does not adver tise in his own town in order to »sell his own wares fails. Advertising, however, may be other than news paper advertising. The fact that we qualify our first sentence by the seqond is because newspaper adver tising predominates all other kinds to such an extent that many mer chants think that advertising means, newspaper advertising. XVe strongly urge all merchants to advertise, Xvhethej* they use our columns, or not. XX'e believe that in this newspaper the average local merchant can get bettor result* than through any other sources, cost con sidered, hut if our merchant friends do not think so we will not quarrel about it. There was a time when getting business was largely based on kin ship, friendship and pull. That day has passisl in modern towns. XVhere modern cities grow business goes to the hustler, and the public impres sion of a hustler u) mainly based on large, display type frequently ob served. / / Princes* Mary, Viwountras celles, is siriMistciit upon having plen ty of light and space in her home** and is kneii on the elimination of dust-traps and on Inbor-baving house hold appliance*. The Princess pre fers schemes witfi light tones, especially Ivory and pastel shades, and she hives the daintiness of chintz covers an/1 such pretty tilings Late ly she ordered a dainty parchment 'ac.pier suite for her bed room at Egeftofi House, which typifies her inclination towards mew and modern furniture, It is Claimed for the women of the Midland Islands “that they are the best knitters in the world. Tra dition ' has it that the pioneers .of their handicraft were some Spanish sailors who were stranded in the islands after the disaster to the Span ish Armada, and from whom the womeu learned the fine art of knit ting. Weather conditions during the first half of February were* all that could be asked for by the promoters of tjje litimerons winter sports carnivals in northern New' York and New Eng land. Mrs. Ilettie Blanks, of Meridian, who was appointed a epurt bailiff for the recent session of the county grand jury, has the distinction of being the first Mississippi woman to in that edacity. problems The Herald had to muet in changing from an average paper in a tranquil town of 100,000 to the dominant paper at the center of the most hectic real estate boom this country ever knew. When a railroad embargo threat ened to delay deliveries of news print paper. Publisher Frank B. Shutts took no chances. He was publishing from 60 to 80 pages a day. and paper requirements were heavy. He secured a special train of 50 cars and rushed 1000 tons of paper from the docks at Balti more to Miami, getting the ship ment through in three days. It cost him an extra $40,000. But as the world’s largest advertising me dium. The Herald had to have itl To meet the demands of 1026, The Herald is building a five-story annex to house new presses and equipment am' to care for an im mense new photo engraving plant. The plant is designed to give The Herald adequate capacity to turn out the nation's largest daily—not in New York or Chicago, but in Miami I DOESN’T WANT TRIFLES BROUGHT INTO COURT Magistrate Foscue Dismiases Charg ; es Against Rural Youths. Kinston, March 3. —Charges of i “cattayig disturbance” lodged against OtH' Cox and erey Stroud huv?o beeu by Magistrate Kenneth ' FtC-cue here following a hearing in which Hubert Thompson principal of the school at XX’oodington, accused the defendants of creating trouble on the school - grounds* The justice to da.Vi said he had advised Thompson to resign because bis usefulness as a teacher in the community' had been destroyed by the 'incident. Evidence before the magistrate re vealed that Thompson had been showing a Girl student some atten tion. XX'hen comma] for the defend ants attempted to twit - Thompson on his alleged affair of the heart, how mi r. Judge Fot-eue immediately squelched The names of the principal and the girl were found scrawled on a claybank on the school grounds. Cox and- Stroud. neighborhood youths, were accused. Thompson preferred charges against them. The magis trate said the affair was trival and i should not have been brought into I court. “It was just the joke of two rural youths,” he. said. It Is Indeed “Surpassingly Strange.” Xlonroe Enquirer. A Chicago mail order house is re ceiving much free advertising from the newspapers within the iumt few weeks. This mail order house has has established a “Foundation” and its stunt is to offer prizes for essays on good roads, for plays, etc. News papers of the United States are un- 1 wittingly giving this mail order house many time publicity value than i ; being “put out” for “free prizes." It's surpassing strange that newspapers will advocate trade-at home, charge home merchants for ‘ their advertisements, and then un consciously give free publicity to a 1 Chicago mail order house.

Crowell's Plant Farm East Corbin Street LA GRIPPE From everywhere just now people J are talking much of colds and “grip.’ j There is no way of . knowing now wbat i serious compHcations may de velop.' neither is there any way of knowing just how prevalent the con dition may be. It is sufficient, how ever. to know that, “grip” is causing tremendous disturbance in school, in business and in the home. There is a group of bacteria which infest the upper respiratory tract and produce a group of disease of which colds, grippe, influenza and pneu monia are the most common. There is a close relationship between the symptoms egjled by these various names, as there is a close relationship between the different special forms of bacteria which nu\ke up the group. La grippe is tbe French word and re fers to an infection in the respiratory tract. The bacillus is found in the nasal and bronchial secretions. Any physical condition which lowers the bodily resistance or decreases the protective function of the mucous membranes firedisposee to grippe. It may be fatigue, or chilling of some part of tire body or under nuorish ! ment that deprives the mucous mem i brane of the nose and throat of its normal blood supply and permits these germs which at this season are very prevalent to gain a foothold and become implanted in the system. Im mediately they get implanted they be gin eliminating into the system a toxin which produces the symptoms. . Grippe is very easily transmitted from ope person to a Bother by-means of coughing and sneezing or from hand’ing hankerrfiiefs or linem soiled by the sick person. The price of freedom from grippe is eternal vigi lenoe in avoiding contact with per sons who have it and in being espe cially careful to avoid unusual debili tating fatigue or ehi’ling of the body as by wet feet or inadequate cloth ing. Although grippe ;js very common and most persons quickly get well, it often is kjuite treacherous and leads to serious eomplicationsr Immediate ly going to bed is the best treatment fer the patient and thus also protects others from the iufection.

' New York Tribune. | An act gracious and kindly and altogether characteristic of warm SowtreVn sympathy i* reported from XX’rtipjitfton. X. G. The King’s I>aught<*rs of that city have buried in their own plot in Bellevue Ceme tery a Union veteran, E. O. ij*>ie. j ninety-two years old. who died in XX ilmington without relatives, friend less and -alone. Ihe old soldier was a survivor of the storming of Fort Fisher; he lost a finger in that battle. XX’hen he died the commander of the local camp of l nited Confederate Yeferan* had an application filed for his buril in the National Cemetery, But by rea son, it appears, of technicalities huv ing to do with formal credentials permission for interment in the Xa tidhal Cemetery was refused- The alternative was a pauper’s grave. Three hours before the body was tb have been committed to Pot ter s Field tbe King's Daughter learned of these sad circumstances. They iusistetl at once that other ar rangements must be made. XX'heu i the I nion soldier was buried with j the Stan-; and Stripes above his grave in plot owned by the Southern women he had as a guard of honor old wearers of the gray, led by Dr. A. M. Baldwtli. com mander ~f Cape Fear Camp, United Confederate X'eterans. “One cannot ’•.'fleet upon that scene in Itellevne.” “The XVi'ming ton Star” says, “without feeling a lump in the Jthi-ont and a mist before the eyes, no'more fitting symbol of a reunited nation eOuld be conjured by j the mind of man. The brief religious ! rites were more than a eulogium for him who was no more- They were, indeed, a benediction for the splendid spirit of Americanism that pre cludes the holding of rancor and the harboring of ba*e.” -‘‘We only hope,” remarks “The XX'ilmington Dispatch.” at the close of a feeling editorial, “that some far-stranded veteran of tbe South when he goes to his last reward will be qs tender’y treated above the Mason and Dixon line v as his brother of the opposing lines was treated here. And we feel certain, if our Northern brethren know the facts in this case, he will be.” This expres sion of confidence, we believe, does i no more than justice to the senti- 1 mont of the people of the North. Writing to Her llusiuuid. Monroe Enquirer. j We ve all heard of the email boy who ran to his mother saying: "Manuiiji, the man who stpvs here nights and Sundays hit me/’ But a Monroe man tells the following yarn on himself: ' j This man's wife one morning last week said, “John, I want you to bring me. some writing paper.” | “What kind?” asked the husband. ! “Oh, any old kind,” sweetly re plied Friend Wife.* “I want to write you since you go off early m the morning, don't come to lunch and don’t come home until nearly nine o’clock at night.” “One-quarter of the distance from the knee-cap to the ankle” is, the length of skirts prescribed by t?ie*au thorities of the Nova Schtia Normal School a TmVo’ to be worn by the girl students.
