Thursday. June 4 1914
There will be nothing improper
if the farmers at our different
conventions shall insist that they
be given a fan’ showing in such
representations in the State as
effect their int*?rest. There is a
number of material matters that
it seems utterly impossible to
have our lawyer legislators give
att?ntion. It is not worth while
to mince words in this matter,
there is something real rotten in
Denmark. Much good will be
accomplished if large quantities
of disinfectant is used. There are
some mighty good men that go
to Raleigh every two years, but
some how or other they have not
made much of a show in the last
several years. There is quite a
number of reasons why this
should not be so, nor are v;e
complaining without just cause.
Some of the discrepancies have
been called to the atttention of
thinking people before, there
will be r?asons for doing it again. |
Tlie political genius will soon
be the man of the hour, he will
tell you more and better tl ings
to do in the interest of his
State and county than any other
species of citizen, but my, when
he gets to Kaleigh he will give
you spades and trumps, and then
beat you at the gi afters game.
We are sorry that this is thus,
but until tlu'y are held to a more
strict accountability we have
no hopes of corrt'cting the
trouble.
The Washington weather man
forecasts fair weather for this
week except for local mins. It
is indeed fortunate for Mebane
that a nice lain Sunday in'ght
laid the dust and cooled things
off considerably because another
whole week of dryness would
have made life miserable. We
hope that the loc;'.l rains will be
generally distributed so as to
keep the dust down at least.

We have had a very dry ?])ell
of weather for the last several

very pessimistic view of the crop

Saved Giri’s life
“I want to tell you what wonderful benefit I have re
ceived from the use of Tliedford’s Black-Draught,” writes
Mrs. Sylvania Woods, of Clifton Mills, Ky.
*‘It certainly has no equal for la grippe, bad colds,
liver and stomach troubles. I firmly believe Black-Draught
saved my little girl's life. When she had the measles,
they went in on her, but one good dose of Thedford’s
Black-Draught made them break out, and she has had no
more trouble. I shall never be without

Th« few survivors of the Litchfield
county (C!onn.) tribe of Schitgticoke
Indians own 300 acres of land and
five houses, valued at $3,000, besides a
little personal property. Th*;y subsist
by selling potatoes and other products,
cutting railroad ties and wood and
working on neighboring farina. The
tribe is reduced to Ignoronce and pov
erty as a result of leading shiftless
lives and by intennarriage and mix
