Matheson and Little of the Ire dell commissioners, and Chair man Brown and Mr. Holler ol the Catawba board, were in con sultation in Statesville Tuesday with Mr. N. A. Cock of Char lotte, attorney for the Southern Power Company, with reference to the Power company's property at Lookout Shoals. The dividing line between Ire dell and Catawb?, which was the one thing discussed at the form er conference of the Catawba and Iredell commissioners, was not mentioned at this meeting. The Iredell folks expect to hold to the center of the river. Ar. assessment of $100,000.00 was agreed upon for the portion of the Power Company's dam in Iredell. The property of the construction company wiil be as sessed by the local assessors. The holdings of the Powei Com pany in Iredell will of course be materially increased when the work at Lookout Shoals is finish ed. In the matter of a bridge across the river at Lookout, it was agreed that the county en gineers for Iredell and Catawta and the engineers of the Soutl - em Power Company meet at the site 0® the proposed bridge on the 20th, take measurements and estimate the cost of the bridge, a report of the estimate to be made to the Catawba and Irede 1 commissioners, who will consider it at their regular meetings en the first Monday in July: and a further conference between th commissioners of the two coun ties will be held July 12th, wher it is hoped the bridge question can be rinaHy determined. Citizens of Mooresville ana south Iredell interested in the Mooresville river bridge, have proposed that Iredell and Cataw ba take over the Mooresville and Statesville-Buffalo Shoals bridges and make them free bridges (they are now owned by private parties and are toll bridges), and that the proposed bridge at Lock out be a free bridge. A delega tion was before the Iredell com missioners at their last meeting to urge that this be done. It i understood that the Catawb* commissioners favor the plan. The Iredell commissioners ha\e not definitely passed on it, but Chairman Mills is opposed to it. He does not think Iredell should entertain the proposition in the present state of the county's fi nances, Later it might be deem ed advisable. If the present bridges remain toll bridges, as is more than probable, the proposed b *idge at Lookout will also be a toll bridge to put it on an equc - i;p with the others. The South is a land that has known sonows; it is a land that has broken the ashen crust and moistened it with tears; a land scarred and riven by the plow share of war and billowed with the gra ves of her dead; buttheland of legend, a land of song, a land of hallowed and heroic memories.

Worth, millionaire mine operator, cf Joplin and Indianapolis, owes his life to the high price of zinc. Held pris oner in an abandoned zinc mine, he had been left to perish, and doubtless would have done so had not two pros pectors, Roy Cardwell aud Sam Huston, eone into the old mine today and dis covered Worth, who had been there in the drift five days. He was unconscious when found, but was soon revived. The high price of ore caused the prospec t >rs to enter the drift in hope of finding zinc overlooked by former oDerators. Worth says he was accosted at a Jop lin hotel by a s'.ranger, who said he was desirous of looking at mining land. The stringer introduced his business pirtaer. Worth does not remember the n-.mes of the men. but says they drove with him to the abandoned rains. In a remote drift, he was bound ragged and tied to a piece of mine timber. The kidnappers attached along case to one of his feet and the other to the end of a box containing dynamite. The fuse was lighted, and one man told him: "It will reach the dynamite in 12 hours, aud, if the rats don't get you fust, this will finish the jib." The rescuers discovered that the men in walking abcut had accidental y cut the fuse. Young Man's Demonstration of Cour age. Those who are inclined to giurnble at tfie comparatively light physical or financial blows delt them by an adverse fate are invited to consider the expe rience of James Keith, a student at Jefferson Medical College in Philadel phia, About a year ago the voung man fell out of one of the college windows, substaiaiug a spinal fracture and inju ring one leg so badly that it had to be amputated. The remaining leg became paralyzed, but in spite of his grievously crippled condition Keith determined to complete his college course and he has now taken his final examination for a degree. The world needs an occasional inspiring example of his sort. The av erage man is prone to discouragement under the rude buffetings of fortune and is likely to admit himself defeated in the battle of life by a blow of much less severity. What James Keith may be able to accomplish in later life un der his tremendous handicap seems problematical,but the courageous spirit that has carried him through the past vear will undoubtedly enable him to find his work and do it.

I have some black swamp land in corn this year. This land has been growing: cockleburs for the last five or tix yearp, and after we lay by the crop they general ly cover the land, and will be five or six feet high by the time the crop is gathered. I want to put a winter cover crop on this land and* in view of the cockle burs, what vrould be the best crop and when shculd it be put in. Could I aew a crop when the corn is laid by and leepdown the cockleburs? There has never been any clover »n this land.'' Whv any on« would let cockle burs year after year and stock it with seed is rather nard to un derstand. You could have clear ed the land of cockleburs by keeping them mown off before seeding, and now, with the land seed, it will Uke several years to do it. I harsdly think that any thing sown in the corn will avail, though you might try peis, and after cutting and shocking the corn disk all down and plow un-i der the peas and burs and lime the land and th«?n sow one bu shel of rye arwfl 15 pounds of crim son clover s«wd, sowing the rye first and then tho clover seed and brushing them iu with a smooth in* harrow. Then you can turn under the cl«T.jr if it succeeds, or the rye ia spring, and culti vate the land in a clean hoed crop and you may be able to get rid of som« of the cockleburs. Bat the best way to get land rid of any vile weed is to never al low them t» wed on the land. — W. F, Mass«y in Progressive- Farmer. MRS.

Jphnson On Two-Cent Passenger Rates w«» ■ ■ The farmers of ' ■ tllis 111111011 are vitally interested in railroad rates j | and equity be tween passenger > " ; and freight rates jHSpte' is especially im portant to the man freight revenues" Some of the states have a two cent passenger rate and whatever loss is incurred is recov ered through freight revenue. The jus tice of such a procedure was recently passed upon by the Supreme Court of West Virginia and the decision is so far-reaching that we have asked L. E. Johnson, president of the Nor folk and Western Railway whose road contested the case to briefly review the suit. Mr. Johnson said in part: "Some ten years ago, passenger fares were fixed by the legislatures of a large number of states at two cents a mile. As a basis for such economic legislation, no examination was made of the cost of doing the business so regulated, nor was any attention given to the fact whether such a rate would yiefd to the rail way companies an adequate or any net return upon the capital invested in conducting this business. "Such a law was passed in West Virginia in 1907. The Norfolk and Western Railway Company put the rate into effect and maintained it for two years. Its accounting during these two years showed that two cents a mile per passenger barely paid the out-of-p«cket cost and noth ing was left to pay any return on capital investsd. It sought relief from tho courts. Expert accountants for ——■ T———! I Coffins anil Caskets] | Bowles Furniture Co. j ciooti'gci iiaicv ' both the State and the Railway Com pany testified that the claims of the railroad were sustained by the facts. cents did Aot pay the cost of carrying a passenger a mile. The State, however, contended that the railroad was earning enough surplus on its state freight business to give a fair return upon the capital ÜBed in its passenger as well aS Its freight business. For the purposes of the case, the railroad did not deny this, but held to its contention that the State could not sogregate its pas senger business for rate fixing with out allowing a rate that would be sufficient to pay the cost of doing business and enough to give some return upon the capital invested in doing tho business regulated. This was the issue presented to the Su preme Court. Its decision responds to the judgment of the fair-minded sentiment of the country. The Su preme Court says that, even though a railroad earns a surplus on a par ticular commodity by charging rea sonable rates, that affords no reason for compelling it to haul another's person or property for less than cost. The surplus from a reasonable tate properly belongs to'the railway com pany. If the surplus is earned from an unreasonable rate then that rate should be reduced. The State may not even up by requiring the railroad to carry other traffic for nothing or for less than cost. The decision is a wholesome one and demonstrates that the ordinary rules of fair dealing apply to railway companies. The fact that one makes a surplus on his wheat crop would never be urged as a reason for com pelling him to sell his cotton at less than cost. It would not satisfy the man who wanted bread to be told that Its high price enabled the cotton manufacturer to get his ra* product for less than cost. In this case the court reaffirmed the homely maxim that each tub must stand upon itn own bottom."
