Poultry Shipment Nets $2,577.54. '

Stanly county farmers shipper a
car of live jxraltry last week of 10,862
pounds. The poultry was weighed
on the car and each farmer received
his check immediately. There were
about 3,000 birds in the shipmeut. J.
H. Burleyson, of Albemarle Route 6.
had the record of shipping the smal
lest amount of poultry, amounting to
*I.BO. L. M. Crayton, of Mt. Pleas
ant Route 1. had the largest amount,
; which amounted to *185.07. The
j total amount received for this poul
j try was *2.577.50. This shipment
j was a very good beginning for the 1
■ people of the county and plans have
; already been made to ship several
! other cars during the season if the
, prices will justify it. Most of the
| poultry shipped were the poor layers.
, Many culling demonstrations were
, held and here the farmers had an
I opportunity to learn how to cull.
A large number knew how themselves.
This is a further demonstration that ,
poultry is a real crop and compares
favorably with the other farm crops (
grown in the county. This experience
should stimulate a greater interest ,
in the average farm flock.
WUI He Name Them?
Stanly News-Herald.
I Those friends ap;7 supporters of
Senator Overman who felt keen (lie- 1
appointment at learning that he had
voted and worked against the Sen
ate's movement to investigate the con
duct and business methods of the
American Aluminum Company, were
6till the more disappointed at his ex
planation. Senator Overman, an
swering criticisms against him for
his stand against the majority of his
party leaders, Btated that he received
telegrams from friends in North aC'r
olina asking him to oppose the in
vestigation because it might hamper
the Badin plant, and that in response
thereto he took the stand for which
he has been criticized. We are among
the junior North Carolina senator’s
friends, but frankly, we are just won
dering how many telegrams he got
from North Carolina and who sent
them. If Senator Overman would
name the “North Carolina friends”
referred to, we feel quite sure his
position would be still the more em
barrassing. Will he do it?

THE CONCORD TRIBUNE
Metropolitan Cities Lose Title
To World's Largest Newspaper \'
Mr
Metropolitan newspaper! of the |
North and East have at last been
landeo a real jolt by Miami. Fla. j
Journals in cities o( the million ,
(lass—New York. Chicago, Phiia- |
ielphia, Detroit, etc., —have been
inclined to view Miami’* rise with <
$ tolerant smilb. The sunkist city i
on Biscayne Bay might be a very I
live little burg, they admitted, but i
—well, aftei all, it was just a <
thriving center that could in no !
wise compete with them for pres- i
tige and power!
Now. however, it appears that
even New York and Chicago must
take a seat behind Miami in the i
field of paid newspaper advertis
ing. And that touches, very ten
derly. the sensibilities of the great
newspapers in those teeming
centers of civilization.
In other words, a Miami news
paper—The Herald—in 1926. pub
lished a greater vt/lume of paid
advertising than any other news
paper on earth —12,513,436 lines, to

Advertising Merchants.
Monroe Enquirer.
The merchant who docs not adver
tise in his own town in order to
his own wares fails. Advertising,
however, may be other than news
paper advertising. The fact that we
qualify our first sentence by the
second is because newspaper adver
tising predominates all other kinds
to such an extent that many mer
chants think that advertising means,
newspaper advertising.
We strongly urge all merchants
to advertise, whether they use our
columns, or not. We believe that in
this newspaper the average local
merchant can get better results than
through any other sources, cost con
sidered, but if our merchant friends
do not think so we will not quarrel
about it.
There was a time when getting
business was largely based on kiu
ship, friendship and pull. That day
has passed in modern towns. Where
modern cities grow business goes to
the hustler, and the public impres
sion of a hustler is mainly, based on

LA GRIPPE
I From evvrywbare jurt now proptr j
1 sre talking much of eoM* and “grip.” <
There ia no way of knowing now 1
what serious complications may dc
velop. neither is there any way of
knowing just how prevalent the con
dition may be. It w sufficient, how- ]
ever, to know that "grip" is causing '
tremendous disturbance in school, In ]
business and in the home.
There is a group of bacteria wiiich
infest the upper respiratory tract and 1 '
produce a group of disease of which 1
colds, grippe, influensa and pneu
! inonia are the most common. There
is a close relationship between the
I symptoms called by these various
names, as there is a close relationship
between the different special forms of
bacteria whicli make up the group,
i La grippe is the French word and re
| fers to an infection in the respiratory
I tract. The bacillus is found in the
! nasal and bronchial secretions. Any
' physical condition which lowers the
bodily resistance or decreases the
protective function of the mucous
membranes predisposes to grippe. It
may be fatigue, or chilling of some
part of the body or under nuorish
ment that deprives the mucous mem- i
fcrane of the nose and throat of its 1
normal blood supply and permits ]
these germs wkkh at this season are i
very prevalent to gain a foothold and '
become implanted in the system. Im- i
mediately they get implanted they be- i
gin multiplying and eliminating into {
the system a toxin which produces i
the symptoms.
Gripps is very easily transmitted 1
from one person to another by means
of coughing and sneezing or from
handling bankerrtiiefs or linen soiled
by the sick person. The price of
freedom from gripi>e is eternal vigi
lance in avoiding contact with per
sons who have it and In being espe
cially careful to avoid unusual debili
tating fatigue or chilling of the body
as by wet feet or inadequate cloth
ing.
Although grippe is very common
and most persons quickly get well, it
often is quite treacherous and leads
to serious complications. Immediate
ly going to bed is the best treatment
for the patient and thie also protects
others from the infection.

The Burial of a Union Veteran.
New York Tribune.
An act gracious and kindly and
altogether characteristic of warm
Southern sympathy la reported from
Wilmington; N. C. The Ring’s
Daughters of that city have buried
in their own plot in Bellevue Ceme
tery a Union veteran, E. O. Cole,
ninety-two years old. who died in
Wilmington without relatives, friend
less and alone.
The old soldier was a survivor of
the storming of Fort Fisher; he lost
, a finger in that battle. When he died
I tl>e commander -of the local canjp of
United Confederate. Veterans had
ah application filed for his hurl 1 in
the National "Cemetery. But by rea
son, it appear*, of '.technicalities hav
ing to do with formal credentials
permission for interment in the Nk
tional Cemetery was refused-
The alternative was a pauper's
grave. Three hdiirs before the body
was to have been committed to Pot-
Field the King’s Daughter
learned of these-safi circumstances.
They insisted at I once that other ar
ratigeraentti must, be made. When
the Unlcu soldier was buried with
tUfi Stars i and Stripes above bis
gcaVe in 'the plot owned by tie
Southern women he had as n guard
of. honor old wearers of the gray,
led by Dr. A. M. Baldwin, com
mander of Cape Fear Camp, United
Confederate Veterans.
■ "One cannot reflect upon that
scene in Bellevue," "The Wi’ming
toh Btar” says, “without feeling a
lump in (he throat and a mist before
the eyes, no more fitting symbol of a
reunited nation could be conjured by
the mind of man. The brief religious
rites were more than a eulogium for
him who was no more- They were,
indeed, a benediction for the splendid
.spirit of Americanism that pre
cludes the holding of rancor and the
harboring of bate.”
“Wp only hope," remarks "The
Wilmington Dispatch," at the close
of a feeling editorial, “that some
far-stranded veteran of the South
when he goes to his last reward will
be as tenderly treated above the
| Mason and Dixon line as his brother
|of the opposing lines was treated
, here. And we feel certain, if our
! Northern brethren know the fact* in
this case, he wm.be." This expres
sion of confidence,' we believe, does
no more than juetice to the aenti
went of the people of the North.

I has been a great factor in establishing the Fofd reputation
for reliability. Even in remote sections where there is
no battery service, the Ford owner may us his car without

duce Ford production costs —but again Ford standards
