W* read *wk of thorn women who work I* da Hold* «tr yonder In lb* devastated countries of war-soar ad Euro pa, and Ike word pictures painted of their toil-worn bodies is pathetic. Wo doubt not that many Smarts in this town have baaa moved to pity by tbo accounts soot to thia country of their d« to Is lion. Rut, by looking about ua we can aoa that Europe's wotaen are not tho only one who toil. Coming Into town any day from the nutdying farms arc many women whose knotted hands, bwnt backs and faded oven tell moro eloquently than any pen can writs a story whoso pathos la equally oa stirring as the tales whtrh drift to ua from the other tide. Farming has brought Independence to many mow ia this locality. Free from the drudgery of the kitchen and tha wash tub, many havo waxed strong, healthy and rich out oa the farm*— bat what of their wires, ns daught ers T Whnt has tho farm done for ibera 7 Oar Rpubiicsn friends over at the county seat have taken what appear* to aa a ret mere* sirs «tep in abolish la* the office of county farm demon strator. Of course its true they went into office under promise to run the county upon a* economical a plan aa possible and are probably takia* the sir* that their action Is for the best internet of tax payers neaerslly. But we would remind them that a people's wealth and pro frees are nor reckoned by the money * piled in the public treasury. Public money spent for any purpose thru which the public benefits is not wast ed—weedy invested, the profit* *c rnrfn* directly to the tax-payer. „ Meaf really prsmaiilis Carolina ' rait|M era prodUn* threa*h the doasaasmrulien. idea, nod we are ear taJethat the money paid by Hafaatt far that yarysm has been watt ant We trost that those *ood-inten!eaad aaaa who form Uit county board will vitally important ta the a*richltara! dwvaloyamat of the county.

TH* GENERAL ASSEMBLY AND A DOCTOR Up in the western part of Un 8uu a man advertises that ha wants somebody to adopt hit two littlo children to save than form tabercu loaia infeetioo. Tha author has luaa down with tbs dread disease for SVVcral months; moot of the father's tima la required ta wait up on her and the innocent, bright-eyed lets an exposed to the plague all tha tima. la the elate capital a body of men an gathered ostensibly to enact laws for tha beasAt of those who seat them than. Tor two months they win argue over big questions, pats hundreds ef laws which, so far as | the general welfare of humanity la concerned, may as well not be writ tea, and finally adjourn to return to their conetitneata with the Arm coe vietloo that they hove performed their duty. Over at Montrose la tha State San atorium for Tuberculosis. At its bead ia a fallow named MeBrayer, a doctor who specialise* in tubercular dime see and who has done much to •waken his colkslrymen to danger ; which confronts them in rbi« scourge Early and lsl* he has gone to and fro in the land tolling the people how to recognize, how to avoid and how to cure the disease. He la curing pa tients right along up there at Mon trose—but he ia sadly handicapped. It is probable that he will go before the present General Assembly to ask appropriations for hit work and it ia possible that it will allow him some thiag, but certainly • not enough— that is if we judge tha present by the past. The poor fellow who war.te xotne oae to save hie children would have been saved his anxiety had a pro vioue General Assembly acceded ta Dr. McBrayer’s plea for sufficient money to equip hie sanatorium, llad tha doctor's advice been follow ed, it ia probable that tha stricken mother would new be strong and healthy, a joy to her husband and a tender, loving, careful guide to the children who now face the alterna tive of going to live with strangers or dying of consumption. CANNING CLUBS Many chUw embodying many Maas have been been formed In tha rural aaatb during the last decade, but vs doubt that any have a mate far reaching influence among tha yemg woman of ths ferae than that which oaaouragoa Am to uaaint tha poadoet af tbatr father* through the roaming idea.

There are many other clubs in tweet Sampson doiag Just a' well as this, and the thing that pus sies is: why Harnett’s girls have n.d fallen In Una.

THE GENERAL A8HEMBLY OP ENS I"* »e«k we journeyed over to Raleigh lo aee the aoiona gather In a maty old state house for tho if IS •oaaion of tho North Carolina Can rral Assembly.

The eecaeloe waa auspicious, the general set of the thine was calculated le ewe so oneophiatocated a person aa we are, and we were afraid the gaza •f «u of these solemn-countenance I personages would be drawn to ee hat we were left alone. Presently Mr. Deughtrldge benged for order, and n reverend gentlemen •toed eg to invoke the Almighty's qntdance Thaw n pleasant-faced chap erase smiled a series ef grants *kde locking at a pines ef paper.

This wae kept ap antu everybody had greeted. fruntlng eeerrmd to be a for { - A man got up and aaid he'd Uk« to have somebody go across too haU aad teU tbe representatives that Us ead of the house waa reedy to, business. He was told that toe Honaa of Representatives waa out T«t formally In seesioo. Another fellow then arose end aaid rep resentatives should be sent to New Orleans during toe Andy Jackson celebration to show that North Car olina know bow to dotho right thin* by a function commemorative of it* «»'» greatest victory. But-smother fallow said If expenses were to bo allowed, be didn't want anybody also to be Mat, and If they were not to be , allowed, he didn't want to go hi o aelf. That settled the matter. De termined though to send somebody •omewhere.it was resolved'that mes sengers should be sent to the Qov. emor to toll him that the force was ready for work. This done, a little argument was had as to whether tor body waa to adjourn or recaaa. It waa Anally agreed that recess was toe proper word, so they all went to dinner—we boarded toe train and came home, convinced that Carolina legislators are great folks. JARVIS COUNTY The Evening Times takas a fling st the system which has permitted so many new counties m North Caro lina. aad. coming at a time when our folks are making an effort to be al lowed to form what is to bo known aa Jarvis county from portions of Harnett, Johnston. Cumberland and Sampson, its utterance gets under our skin, so to rpeak. It says that there are too many pauper counties and that the formation of no other counties should be allowed unless it is shown that they win be self sup porting. and beneficial to tax payers generally. Now, so far as our pro positron is concerned, we car see no valid raa *««> why we should not have a new county. At the present those par ties of Harnett which would, como into the new county pay much more than half the terse collected in the whole county, and in return they get * very small part of the appropria tions for public improvement, along with practically no representation In tfea county (Tovcmmrrt Out pocr'.o have very little n con mon villi «W-w -n lb'* iiher *i;rlc o’ Caper ic r lit Cl..

Dunn, and by Dunn we men ths whole affected territory, is os foreign to old Harnett aa the Uni ted State* la boRuawia. In the last two decades the pnaaihlMUsa of these environs have attracted a people whose ideas are aa different from those of the old settle* as black is from white, and it is foolish to sup pose that the two can Hve in peace and harmony when both are to be governed according to th* notions of aithar. Jarvis would be a county with a progressive cittseaship whoso sole thought is development!-—tads atrial, educational and otherwise. It would link together dissatisfied section* of four counties and give to a large number of people an opportunity to work out their destinies In in en vironment free from that friction which is to seriously affecting them all as matters now stand. Mr. Walter Paga, of Duplin, was in town yon let-day and was telling one of our friends of a big farm an terprUe he I* directing Just over the line in Cumberland. Mr. Bradley Johnson, of Km ports. Va.. and a eora pony of associates have recently par chased that vary fine tract of land known aa the Dr. Roberson ft law owned, at one time, by Dr. J. L Hud son, of Dunn. The tract emhraces several hundred acres, but a compar atively mall area was fitted for cul tivation at the time of its purchase, by the present holder*. Since the purchase, however, a fores compris ing over a hundred negroes has been engaged in clearing, ditching and in Other improvement* Mr. Page S*yp that fully 400 acres will he placed, under cultivation this year and that a diversity of crops will be planted, with a good deal of at tention being paid to tobacco.
