Thursday, July 4, 1012. The nominations have been made and you had better get on the band wagon. William J. Bryan and Senator O'Gorman wrote the platform and that is sufficient. We congratulate editor Josephu Daniel upon lus reelection as nauon- al committeeman from North Caro lina. The conventions made history while they were in cession, but we are glad they are now a thing- of the past. Recent statistics show that North Carolina ranks next to Massachusetts in the manufacture of Cotton goods. We are steadily reaching out for the top of the ladder in the manufactur ing line as well as other lines. Mr. E. E. Britton, cf Ralc-igh, as sociate editor of the News & Obser ver, was elected and served as secre tary of the national convention at ! i Baltimore last week. This was quite . an honor con fe red upon one of our citizens. Mr. C. H.

GIVE YOUR CHILDREN GOOD BOOKS The Greenville Reflector of recent date gives us the follovh vice when it says: good ad- j ' "Believe me, you cannot leave! your children a better heritage than j a deep ana abiding iove or booss and i a taste for the best in literature. And you must begin when they are little. Read good books and poems I to them and when they get old enough to read for themselves see what they are reading. Aside from the fact that what a child reads has a great effect on his character as an j adult, there will come times in the j lives of your children when a iove ' and appreciation of good books will brighten hours of loneliness or en- forced idleness that would otherwise' be dark and gloomy indeed. To weep! over the sorrows of little Nell or David Copperfield or laugh at Mr. Micawber or thrill at the exploits of ! Rob Roy or Ivanhoe or Marmion will I prove a panacea for dulir.ecs, yes, j and grief too, and leave one without j any ruffled feelings as such as inter-1 course with people sometimes gives." I : i Gar Delegates Organize. The North Carolina delegation to the Democratic convention in Balti more last week organized and work ed as follows: Former Governor Glenn, chair man; W. C. Dowd, committee on resolutions; W. C. Hammer, com mittee on credentials; R. A. Dough- ton. eninmittpp nn niloc A W AT i Z ' ! Lean, committee on permanent or- j ganization; G.

The only fight was over Dowd and Justice, that vote being 27 to 19 with General Carr absent and Mr. Glenn not voting. There is considerable testimony which indicates that ditches not more than six feet deep can be dug with dynamite much more cheaply than in another way. This may not be true in all cases, but it certainly is in stumpy or rocky lands. All who have ditches to dig should investi gate dynamite and its possibilities. The Progressive Farmer. Will it damage trees in an orchard to sow pea3 and turn hogs on them?" The orchard, if a young one not in bearing, should be well cultivated in somearly crop till July and then you can sow peas in it and turn hogs in without damage. A bearing apple orchard should be in grass and the grass often cut and left as a mulch on the ground. In such an orchard hogs with their no3es ringed to pre vent rooting will eat up the dropping and wormy fruit profitably. W. F. Massey, in The Progressive Farmer.

Mr. Bovvers has seen it successfully raised in Mecklenburg county, but was surprised to see such a rich and luxuriant growth of it on the sandy soil of Les county. There is not a finer feed raised in the country for horses, cows and hogs than alfalfa. Mr. Bovvers says Mr. Watson v, hi get four or five cuttings off his crop this year. This means seven or eight feet of forage hi one season. Alfalfa will produce for years from one sowing. It is not only a fine fo rage for stock and cattle, but it is good for improving the land. If ev ery farmer in Lee county wouid raise alfalfa there would not be so much high priced Western hay ship ped to Sanford and sold, taking hundreds of dollars out of the coun ty that should be kept here.
