FALL BUSINESS PROSPECTS BRIGHT —W ILL. IT

TOBACCO CROP. AND WHAT IT MEANS—THE

Theapproach ; a,assures t:.e :.narcu'l v.terests tiu.it .ho
country is on the t its most !• sperous {t*r; ■«i in tho hist' ry
of business There is not tho s.ightost indication that the election,
which is now iess than i' l ' • I:i > s distant. wii' a'i'oct business un
favorably. Tho crops growing, and soon to bo harvested, taking
the c untry as a whole, are the largest and best which the nation
has ever experienced. Just as sure as the sun shines, those bul
warks of our business life will create ar.d maintain good times and
easy money.
It looks now like W >odrow Wilson will be tho next President of
the United States. The moneyed interests have a.ready adapted
themselves to this possibility, and the feeling is widespread that
the New Jersey governor is the must conservative candidate in the
•field for the Presidency. But should Theodore Roosevelt again be
called to the executive chair, or President Tuft remain in the
White House, the fact is rixed that no serious business disturbances
will result. Business is learning that the American people's com
mon sense may relied upon, and that r.o policy of the American
government shall inure to the injury of honest capital and industry.
The New York stock exchange, which is the barometer of business
not only in America but abroad, shows unmistakable signs of
strength and confidence which cannot be shaken by speculators ur
politicians. Money is easy and ready for legitimate investment.
Conservatism is the rule. There is a sound and solid basis for the
activities of finance.
In our territory of Stokes county. North Carolina, tho indica
tions are bright for go id times ahead, even tho brightest of any
year since I^'7. Tho tobacco crop is large and good and will
bring in an immense revenue. There are about 8,000,000 pounds
of this staple produced in Stokes county yearly, and its sale means
the pouring of nearly one million dollars into the pockets of our
farmers. How fortunate is that farmer who is able, from a policy
of producing his living supplies at home, to save his portion of the
ESTABLISHED 1905. 1

Pulling Stumps.
Lv vry farmer that has stump
on his farm should remove a
porti'n of them every season
until his farm is clear oi stunvs.
I'hore are di:!'erent ways of
removing stumps, but none ot
the wavs 1 know will compare
with pulling them with ago id
stump puller
I have used different pullers,
but none that 1 have used i r
known of will work near as well
as the Hercules.
I would not advise using cables
shorter than 2'»> feet lorg
and usually three-quarters > r
seven-eights an inch in diameter.
Cables of this size are strong
enough to pull a good-sized stump
when the earth is wet and they
are more ea«ilv used when not
too large.
Should you have stumps too
strong for your puller use a
small portion of dynamite in'
sufficient quantity to weaken the
stump so the puller can draw it.
Keep your dynamite outfit with
you so you can easily use it when
needed. Sometimes you may
gear to a stump and find it too
strong for a reasonable pull, and
in such cases you can quickly
use a small charge of dynamite'

railing stumps in this way
gets all the roots out of the
i artli for fuel and causes a bet
ter drainage because of the deep
holes made in the earth, some
of them extending even 1"> feet
d.'ep.
About rive men makes the
best force to run a stump puller
to the best advantage. By us
ing this number of hands you
can keep stumps in readiness
t > hitch to and you can pull
many more per day.
It is just as important to have
a part of the men trained for
the business as it is to have
men trained to run your thresher
or binder or any other machine.
If you have not begun to get
ready to remove your stumps,
would advise that you begin at
once, for every stump that you
remove this season will save you
labor and expense for the future
i season and thus you will save
an annual income that may be
enjoyed from time to time.
Last, but not least, when you
have pulled the stumps and
placed them on the wood pile to
spend the summer, you need
not to dread the chilling winds
of winter for they make the
tire warmer and the light bright
