, COLONEL PATRICK FERGUSON’S GRAVE, KINGS MOUNTAIN
O N October 7,1780, American forces, about 1000 in number, under the leadership of
Colonel Campbell, surrounded Kings Mountain where Colonel Ferguson had^ posted
a thousand men. Ferguson had boasted he was king of the mountain and not even the
Almighty could drive him from it. Before sundown Ferguson and 119 of his men were^
slain, 123 wounded and 664 taken as prisoners. All British arms and supplies were
captured. The American loss was 28 killed and 62 wounded. The victory was the
turning point the American Revdution.
The 150th anniversary of the Battle will be celebrated on the battleground in YcH-k
County, South Carolina, on October 7,1930, with President Hoover as the guest of honor
and the principal speaker. (Actual fighting took place on South Carolina soil.)
The cut above shows the grave of Colonel Ferguson, brave lerder of the British
forces in the Battle. This cairn, perhaps a unique one in America, has been btiiit by
thousands of people. Each visitor to the battleground, following an old custom, casts a
stone on the pile until it has grcVn to the proportions shown in the above picture.

SERIOUS WARNINGS
Big headlines in the late newspapers announce that sev
eral hundred citizens have become paralyzed from drinking
“jake” or tincture of Jamaica ginger. This is a somewhat
surprising conclusion, but, even science cannot know every
thing; we are learning day by day, often by very painful and
^flicting experience.
Of course alcohol is the preserving agent in all vegetable
tinctures. “Jake” is a medicine, pure and simple. It has no
mortal use as a beverage; the guzzler of-this poison must ex>
pect to take the consequences.
The purpose, of this letter to my readers is, to warn a-
"gainst the use of any unnecessary thing. Life and happiness
are too precious to be fiddled away in foolish habits. The
man or woman without sense enough to obey the law of
sdf-preservation—^a law which even dumb brutes recognize—
must expect to reap the fruits of such serious folly.
Ow legislation put sense in the human head? Or would
teaching be better? Can I compel Viy neighbor to abstain from
being a hog? Must I imprison him for months and years in
order to educate him? These are vitsd questions, capable of
shaking the foundation of a republic. Wars have resulted from
disputes over less vital things.
I shall never swear out a warrant for any man’s arrest who
does not interfere with my rights unjustly. But I have a
right to say to my patient, my friend, my neighbor, “If you
are no better custodian of your most precious possessions—^Kfe,
health and happiness—than to fritter them away drinking
“jake and com whiskey, then take the consequences, and
Uame nobody but yourself.” I might say that tincture of aco
nite would do a quicker, cleaner job for you—and save your
family a lot of \\’orry! I have no use for “jake” even as medi
cine.

LAND
A young woman of my acquaint
ance was surprised recently on get
ting home from her daily work as
a stenographer to find la young man
waiting to ask- her who her grand>
father was. When she told h m, he
informed her that the titfe comply
which he represented wtas prepared
to pay her and each of her five liv
ing sisters, aunts and uncles $200
each to sign a suit claim deed to
a strip of land one inch wide and
eighteen feet long.
That price was a “nuisance value,”
but thene ai-e several pieces of Man
hattan real estate which have sold
for as much or more per square foot,
for office buildings. It no longer
pays to build under 30 stories high
in old Maw York. And the reason
for the high land value is the growth
of population. Every new comer to'
the city adds an apBreciable amount
to the value of every foot of land.

COMMERCE
I Vviimt into a grocery store in a
little Massachusetts town the other
day to buy some matches. The sales
man handed me a packjage'wh.ch was
marked “Made in Russia.” In the
same shop window I saw sorwa can
ned corned beef, co,oked and packed
in UrugUiay. In g, store in New
York recently my daughter bought
a raincoat made of. silk which had
first been woven in Japan and sent
to Scotland to be waterproiofei
Wearing that, she drove to a country
house on Long Isltond where the re
freshments served included tea from
India andr ^Niscuits from England.
For every dollar’s worth of goods
the United States sells abroad we
must eventually buy a dollar’s worth
from the country which we buy from.
That is tne long and short of all
the talk about tariffs and imports
and the export tji de.

The good performance of the Ford car,
so apparent on every highway, is due
largely to the sound mechanical design
'of the engine.
It has outstanding acceleration, speed
and power, yet that is only part of its
value to you. Greater still is the fact
that it brings you all . these features
'without sacrificing either reliability or
• /*
economy.
That is the reason the Ford car has
given such satisfactory service to mil
lions of motorists all over the world
and has been chosen by so many burge
companies that keep acburate cost fig
ures. In every detail of construction it
has been carefully planned and mride
fw the work it has to do.
The design of the compression oham-
b« is an important factor in the effi
ciency of the Ford engine. It is built to
allow free passage of gases through the
valves and to thoroughly iwlx the fuel
.by produdmg turbulence within the
cylinders during compression. The spark
thus flashes quickly through the whole
• ,
fuel charge, resulting in quieter ««d
more effective engine performance.
Other factors are the direct gravity
gasoline" feed, the specially designed
carburetor, the new hot-spot manifold,
aluminum pistons, chrome silicdn aUoy
valves of larger diameter, statically and
dynamicaUy balanced crankshaft and
fl^heel, the simplicity of the electrical,
cooling, lubricatipn, and fuel systems
and accuracy in manufacturing.
