The only vital issue that the Ke publicans tried to raise was the old tariff issue, and their defeat on this means that the country is satisfied with Mr. Wilson’s method of hand ling this great subject. While, of course, our great export trade is due to some extent to the Euro pean War, yet it must not be for gotten that by lettine down the bars to Europeitn goods, we jare enabled thereby to sell them more American products. For instance, our exports to Great Britain have jumped up from $700,000,000 to to the enormous sum of $1,600,- 000,000 for the year ending July 1st, 1916, and our purchases have increased from $3W,000,000 to $650,000,000. In other words, we are buying twice as much as for merly from Great Britain and she is buying more than twice as much from us. This is freedom cf trade and ^brings prosperity to both cations. The most notable result of the presidential election, is the joining hands of the West and the South. President Wilson was re-elected by the votes of the West and the South, which he emancipated from the Wall Street yoke. He is the only man since Andrew Jackson who has defied the money power of this country and Woodrow Wil son has emancipated the business men of small means and the farm ers from the yoke of Wall Street, and it was largely an appreciation of the beneficial results of the Great Federal Reserve Act, and the Eural Credit Bill that enabled Wilson to sweep the West the way he did. likely be much higher at planting time than now. The earty speckled is the variety for McDowell. Mr. Nason’s Majority 52. The Lenoir News says Mr. J. L. Nelson’s majority for Senator in this district was 52, and gives the vote for the district as follows: Caldwell county—Nelson 1,789, Matheson 1,769, Wakefield 1,644, Patton 1,616. Burke county — Nelson 1,576, Matheson 1 554, Wakefield 1,444, Patton 1,443. McDowell county—Nelson 1,256, Matheson 1,257, Wakefield 1,232, Patton 1,188. ^ Alexander county—I^lson 950, Matheson 1,026, Wakefield 1,199, Patton 1,188. This gave ^r. Nelson a majority of 52 and Mr. Matheson, the other Democratic candidate, a still great er majority. Sinclair-Kearns. Friends in Marion have received invitations reading as follows: “Mrs. Margaret Carson Sinclair will give in marriage her daughter, Julia Laura, to Mr. Henry Clay Kearns, Jr., Tuesday evening, De cember the twelfth, at half after eight o’clock, at home, Marion, North Carolina. The honor of your presence is requested.” Reduction on all Millinery Beginning Friday, Dec. 1st, continuing through the month. All trimmed hats at half price Mrs. Carrie Childs Success with Velvet Beans. One of the most interesting sights seen at the Raleigh Experi ment Station the past summer was the velvet bean plot. A number of varieties were being tested to learn the best for seed, feed and soil improvement. The vines made a great growth, running ten to fifteen feet often and covering the ground with a dense mass of green foliage. The local county agent, thinking it too cold here, made the ' mistake of discouraging planting in McDowell, but some progres sive farnaers have proven them to be a success here. From two beans J. D, Hogan raised 732 beans. He likes them, has saved seed and will plant more. J. ]toy Brown says plant velvet beans between every other hill of corn and make the cheapest and best feed that grows. Henry England planted seven pounds per acre with corn, on poor land, and harvested so many that he will hive some for sale. He advises the use of phosphate and velvet beans for the soil. W. M. Goodr SOD, after three years’ trial, finds velvet beans and phosphate the best, cheapest and quickest soil- building combination. He has or dered two bushels and if this seed proves satisfactory will get three more bushels. ^ Velvet and soy bean seed will PHOTOS! Now is the time to have your Photos made. We have just re ceived a fine lot of cards and fold ers that we are going to put out at one-half the regular price while they last.
