LATE FARM NEWS FROM THE
COUNTY AGENTS
Albemarle, N. C.. Mny .I.—OP)—A. j
F. Hinson, of On!<boro, Route No. |
-. in Stanly raunty, produced 400 1
bushels of earn on n six-acre field last
year, ns a result of selecting his'
seed corn in the field, and of using a i
. succession of soil-building erops, ac
cording to county agent, O. H. Phill
ips. A demonstration on selecting
seed in the field held tiiree years ago
was attended by Mr. Hinson, and!
since that time he has followed the
practice in securing his own seed
corn. Red clover is sued as a soil
improving crop, anti has been an im
portant factor in the high yields se
cured, according to the county agent.
Lincolnton, X. (’.. May .I.—</P)
Poultry club members of the Rack
Springs high school, in Lincoln coun
ty. inspected a number of poultry
farms in the county during n recent
tour and are now applying the infor
mation secured to the management of
their own flocks, reports County Agent
J. Cl. Morrison.
The club has 32 members, and each
one is showing great interest in his
project, the agent declares. Several
farmers accompanied the club on the
trip, and as a result, many requests
for information in regard to pure
bred birds and modern poultry houses
have been received by the agent, he
says.
Morganton, N. C„ May .'I.— UP)
Three acres seeded to alfalfa several
years ago by John Sparks, of Morgan
ton. have yielded so well that he is
now planning a crop rotation that
will include alfalfa on his entire farm,
says the county agent. R. L. Sloan.
Four acres were sown in 11)24. and
nine acres in 1925, Mr. Sparks se
cured a yield of three tons of hay to
the acre from bis crop of 1924, and
expects to equal if not exceed this
yield from the acreage seeded in
1925. Additional acreage has been
set aside and will be prepared for
seeding this fall.
THE CINDERELLA GIRL
New York Mirror.
, Mr. Drowning has married his lit
tle C'nderelln girl, he 51 years old
ami she 15. May he be happy, may
she be happy. All touch wood.
The whole nation has discussed this
marriage. Some have said crudely :
“The poor child was liought with
money. Her parents would not have
allowed her to marry a man three and
one-third times her own age if he
had been a ‘poor’ man.”
But there is no proof of that. Mr.
Browning is a very kind-hearted man,
he has proved it often. Perhaps the
g'rl’s parents thought a kind ■ heart
the most important thing. Maybe it
is. after the first few years.
An extremely interesting discus
sion of this marriage, perhaps the
-*— 2 = !U2" 11 J “'I 1 L?* !■.'*" 11 ■ "
] best published anywhere, appears in i
i Mr. H. 1). Slater's Herald of El Paso, i
I Texas. In Texas they discuss things t :
frankly. j
And apparently on general princi
ples they wouldn't want 15 year old
Texas girls to marry 51 year old hus
bands.
Mr. Slater's Herald says:
So Brotvning has married his Cin- j
derella girl. And it’s nobody's con- j
corn but theirs. Probably it will i
I give them a good deal of concern as |
j time goes on.
In years Browning is three and
' one-third times as old as the girl.
Except for years she is about twice
las old as girls of her age. So the
1 actual discrepancy may not be more
than 15 years or so, as between the
elderly New York millionaire and his
bride. |
If she is a child, he is childish, and
that's that. They may be pretty well
mated, for the present.
I The trouble (if it doesn't break
sooner) is apt to come, as the Annie
I Lauries and the Dorothy Dixes say,
| when she is a sprightly youug thing
j of 35 and lie doddering along at 71.
Supposing he dodders. Some don't.
One of the liveliest young bucks
around this town is about ready to
smack e : ghty in the face. Browniug
, may be like that.
j Still, taking it all in all, and fore
! casting the probable rheumatism and
1 stiff joints and high blood pressure and
what not, it may be said that Mr.
Browning has sweet-daddied himself
into a hefty contract. And the child
bride, with the consent of her parents,
also has taken unto uerself considera
ble besides a share in Mr. Browning’s
income from apartment houses.
By the way, just how quickly would
her mother and father have aided in
this marriage if the said Browning
had been working for fifty dollars a
week ?
The Texas editor is rather optimis
tic, when he thinks the trouble may
come, in twenty years when little Cin
derella is 35 years old, and her “Dad
dy” is 71. Our opinion is that after
twenty years the whole thing will be
safe. If it lasts that long, it will last
longer.
Tad, the artistic genius, says that
in marriage “the first one hundred
years are the hardest.” He doesn’t
mean that exactly, of course. It is
the first year, and the first five years
are the hardest. After five years you
suspect, in ten years you know that
you made a mistake, if you have made
one.
One tiling is in favor of the little
Cinderella bride and her bridegroom.
They have been told that they could
not make a success of it in ten thou
sand different ways. So they will
want to prove that they can make a
success of it. They can do it quffite
easily by staying together, trusting
each other, and behaving themselves.
May they do so.
ASSUMING TO DICTATE.
The Uplift.
There is a big department store in
, [Charlotte —in fact, such a mercantile
enterprise is to be found in many of
our larger towns. In all these there
is an organization established on
lines that have been found to be the
result of wisdom and experience. The
I organization consists of a manager,
head salesman, door walker and clerks.
Behind all this is the organization of
stockholders, who are depending on
! the proper conduct of the business,
land, therefore, looking for a reason-j
| able return from their investments, j
| Now suppose, the clerks, the subor-1
i dinates, under a leader amongst them,
1 organizes the clerks to oppose the con
tinuance of the position of floor-walk
er —jealousy and envy actuate that
leader or the lack of good taste or
good judgment-—and sends in a peti
tion to the manager asking that the
position of floor-walker be abolished.
| What would the manager do as a
] logical course in that Case. He would
ferret out the instigator of this piece
of officiousuess, tell him “where to
get off.” But suppose the manager
shared that grudge with the clerks and
silently and otherwise gave encourage
ment to the sneaking movement —
lacking courage and a sense of pro
prieties to call a halt —-and the un-1
happy condition reached the ears of
the controlling organization, the stock
holders, what would they be inclined
to do and what should they do?
Suppose such n condition were to
aris in the conduct of this institu
tion or in any other institution in a
manufacturing plant, or school, it is
' easy to foresee what action would and
[ should take place.
In any organization it Ts possible,
and frequently occurs, that inefficient
i helpers creep in—folks that are time
servers, have no heart in their work
other than for the selfish gain in pros
ecuting the duties of their position
and some, in their disgust for any
kind of worthy occupation of their
time, declare that they despise the
work—and in such an event it re
quires a head man of courage to han
dle the situation.
Moral: —Too often subordinates,
• watching the clock, serving their own
■ interest and not that of their em
: ployers, getting themselves attached
to an attractive job carrying an at
: tractive pay for the time rendered and
l the duties performed, merely to sup
ply their personal wants and oppor
i tunities for a "good time,” do not
i want a higher official to check on
i them.
A Blot Removed.
Charity and Children,
s The decrease in the shame oflyneh
. ing in North Carolina is one of the
I most hopeful signs of the times. In
- fact we might say the abolishment
I of lynching, for the state has not
i been disgraced by the mob for several
> years. This state of affairs is the
t result of a wholesome sentiment
. against the crime of lynching which
has been steadily growing for years,
but more especially the punishment
of lynchers which courageous judges
have imposed on those who take the
law in. their own hands, and sunrp
i the prerogatives of our courts of jus
e tice. The state owes a deep obliga
tion to Judge N. A. Sinclair who put
several members of the mob in the
pen, in the famous Needleman ease.
The solicitor of tft e district also per
formed a great service for his vigor
ous prosecution of members of the
mob who defied the courts and made
themselves judge and jury in this de
plorable affair. Since that time other I
judges have handled the lynchers
without gloves, notably in Buncombe
| county, where proper punishment was
I meted out to a furious mob who have
had time to cool off under the stern
hand of the law. The mob is never
led by people with any sense and is
controlled entirely by passion .and
prejudice. It is futhermore coward
ly, and stands in mortal dread of jus
