CORRESPON J ENCto We wish correspondents in all the nenrby post offices. Write at onnp Except in distant spots it seems after all we are going to have a good crop this year. To bacco will hardly show up as well as it was hoped it would, but there will be a good deal of money in the crop as it is. The cotton ai»d corn in the East is looking well, and with no storm or other calamity to hurt it, it promises a very good yield. Thursday. July 16 1914 The matter of meditation under taken with a view of settling the Mexican question has failed sig nally as the Leader said and feared it would and so far as appologizing stands in the same attitude to day as it did when hurrying a fleet to Vera Cruz with sealed instructions to its officers. It would seem that the United States is coming out about third best in this matter, some one is evidently blundered diplo macy, but little attention has been given the demands coming from this Government, Villa has been the strongest recognized force that played a part in the Mexican drama, and Villa is the man Mr. Bryan has pated on the back apparently with a view of changing him from a Barbarian to a human fighter. We think that much of the mischief wrought in this matter and the silly attitude we have occupied has been largely due to our playing with this determined force, however if this suits you Uncle Samuel we shall try and reconcile ourselves to it. A portion of South Carolina was struck with a servere hail storm some days past and it is said that the destruction was so complete that it will not be possible to produce in that section any kind of a paying crop. The destitution must necessary be hard on a large class of people. We are glad to know that our friend, Frank Nash, of Hillsboro has been endorsed as a candi date for the General Assembly of North Carolina. Mr. Nash is a very capable man, and we are sure that his ejection will secure a man of ability to serve the state. We have noted from time to time Greensboro’s vigilant war on flies, it will work wonders in her health report. Infact she could hardly be engaged in a better work to preserve the health of her citizens. Safety First Pay Envelopes. For safety ideas the pay envelope offers a medium that is not easily overlooked. Repeated suggestions to “be care.'ul” Insisted on from week to week In different words, can not fall in their mission of education. Realiz ing this, the United Gas Improvement company of Philadelphia, Pa., in line with its other endeavors toward acci dent prevention, prints rubber stamp safety suggestions on Its pay envel opes. Among the admonitions given In this way are “Safety always,” “Every effort toward safety helps,” “Areyou guarding the danger points?” ‘‘Carelessness is dangerous,” “Safety preserves life and happiness,” and “Safety first, last and all the time.” They are making a determined fight at New Orleans against thej somehow escaped possible approach of the Bubon ic plague. A couple of deaths has occured there from this dread disease, and the United States adopted the ounce of pre vention as so superior to the pound of cure, sent its chief surgeon to New Orleans Doctor Blue to stamp out the disease Several thousand rats have been exterminated, but none as yet caught show evidence of in fection. There is now a reward of $5.00 for each rat that might be delivered that might contain infection. The Bubonic plague has been a great scourge to the human family, millions have died Trouble With a Rooster. A Lewiston (Me.) rooster distin guished Itself the other day. It was on exhibition in a shop window, the It fled across the street into a cigar store, upset a box of cigars on the counter and then flew’ up on the shelves, knocking down a lot of pipes and boxes. Being chased out, it w'ent down the street squawk ing wildly and took refuge in a store where four men were playing cards and clawed around like a wild bald eagle until chased out with a broom. The alarmed fowl next took an aerial flight to another store w’here there w'ere several live lobsters in the win dow. One of them closed on the leg of the rooster and held on until the owner of the bird arrived and re claimed him.

Mr. Bryan is assuming a whole lot of credit for his management of the Columbia question.

Among the royal treasures of Per sia is a pipe cet v ith diamonds, ru bies and emeralds, to the value, it is estimated, of no less than $500,000. This pipe was made for the late shah, and it is said to bs even more val uable than his famous sv.orJ. In the matter of swords, it is said that the gaekv.ar of Baroda who, on the occa sion or the coronation of George V in India, added to his fani^ snubbing that monarch possesaos the most pre cious blade ni exist;!iice. Its hilt and belt are iiicnihted with diamonds, ru bies, sap: hii’i s and emeralds, and its value has heon put at $1,000,000. Tug of War. The well-dressed portly man stood for several moments watching the brawny drayman who was laborious ly tugging at a large, heavy-laden box, which seemed almost as wide as the doorway through which he was try ing to move it. Presently the kind ly disposed onlooker approached the perspiring drayman aud said, with a patronizing air: “Like to have a lift?” “Bet yer life,” the other replied, and for tlie next two minutes the two men on opposite sides of the box, worked, lifted, puft'ed and wheezed, but it did not move an inch. Finally the portly man straightened up and said, between puffs; "I don’t believe we can get it in there.” "Get it in?” the drayman almost shouted. “Why, you blamed muttonhead. I’m trying to get It out.”—Life. For Flower Holders. No veranda is complete that is not decorated with flowers. Flowering vines growing about the posts of the veranda are attractive. Climbing roses and other vines can be trained over lattices that caii be ordered to fit any space. Jardinieres of lieavy pot tery in browns or blues or greens can be kept tilled with field flowers—dais ies, buttercups, wild asters, or golden rod, each iu its appoiulevl time. Ot\ier bowls and jars and vases, of ijiain glass or of heavy pottery, can be filled with garden flowers for the ver anda. Hanging baskets of Japanese, mahogany-stained split reeds or wil low are very good on the veranda. They can be hung from the eaves or from brass or wooden spikes driven Into the house wall for the purpose of holding them. Thos.

In New York certain persons who have purchased 1,000 acres of land In New Jersey, have formed the “American Agricultural association,” to encourage aud produce a "back to the land” movement. The 1,000 acres ■will be subdivided into five-acre par cels, on each of which will be built a house and a barn and on which a well will be bored. These little ready- wade farms will then be sold prac tically at cost. Purchasers will be urged to enter truck and chicken farming to supply the New York mar ket. Fine idea, isn’t it? But does it take account of all the needs? That Is, has it been demonstrated that the five-acre farm can in the majority of cases be made to pay? Or Is the unit of land too small by 50 per cent? And does the farmer need some prac tical experience or can he just jump in and win right off the bat, so to say? Gourmand’s Shrines.

How Tunes Are Built The mystery of music never juBt •*came naturally” to any human being. The world has never known a more Industrious worker than the illustri ous Franz Schubert. Yet, if to any one in the world music “came natu rally”—it seemed to come so to him. When the school principal asked liis harmony teacher how young Franz Schubert was progressing, the teach er said: “He is a wonder. Whenever I explain anything to him, he always seems already to know it. He must have received his knowledge straight from heaven. Yet in spite of such superb gifts, there was never a hard er worker than he. And don’t you think that we, with our lesser gifts, should follow his example? If he. With all his heaven-sent genius, could not succeed witliout strenuous daily labor, how can we hope to accomplish anything worth while, without cease less, patient and conscientious toil? —The Study of Music, in Woman’s World.
