We all want to aee a bigger and better Lexington and tha possibilities are unlimited if we rally our forces. Lexington has spent lots ot money on improvements, and tey were all seeded, but Lexington needs to take v ears of her property.

Anyway, it was a 'big success in every sense of the word. It was promoted by Mr. Dave Leon ard, and it was the same Dave Leon ard that got the most fun out of It.

The event started with a parade at 6:00 o'clock Monday. There were sev er! hundred people on the streets. It looked like a county fair or a great big circus, so thickly were people massed along the route of march As stated, the parade was 'led by the inimitable Dave himself, in an automobile. Behind him came th creasing. Lexington Coca Cola Bottling Com- They are are enlarging their Cream pamy's big new Chase motor ' truck! ery buildings, putting in a large ice with the Brlanger Band.

The boys looked good in their new, olive drab uniforms and the music they furnished was tip-top in every respect Behind, the Brlanger band came four string bands, the Michael, Wel come, Cooper and Smith's Grove string Bands, and back of these the auto truck of the Lexington . Motor Com pany filled with clowns. At the close of the parade the string band contest was held on the street It was won by the Welcome hand. Monday night at the Opera House the big contest took place. .

Delegation From Sonthmont "Visit Catawba and Makes Important In- 4 - , vestlgations. A delegation of farmers from South- mont section headed by County Dem onstrtor Steele went to Catawba coun ty, to learn something about the hous ing of sweet potatoes and the Cream ery Industry. The committee is en thusiastic in their praise of Catawba farmers. Mr. M. S. A. Michael, of Soiithmont, was orte of the committee and he was so much impressed that he proposes' to purchase a small herd ut registered Jerseys and start tha movement for the establishment of a Creamery for Davidson Colunty. In Catawba County two hundred farmers are stockholders in the Creamery company.- All the officers of the company are farmers and they are selling but ter all over the country! They make two thousand pounds a day for Wihich they fget seven hundred dollars. ' One month's output 'brings about twenty thousand dollars. One year, : about $240,001). They sell to one concern in Washington, . C, about eight hundred dollars worth of butter every week. The business is rapidly in- plant and other improvements. All the money for the improvemnts come from proliis made from the sale of butter. They have their own teams to take up the cream ifrom the farmers, with in ten miles of Hickory. wne oi me rarmers nas made so much money from the sale of his ca -tie that he has branched out on his own account and in a new line. Heine was a brave soldier of the South- sel 8 cream direct to Florida Hotels and gets what would be equivalent to fifty cents' a nound for butter Ho own a herd oi one hundred fine regis- tarea jerseys, worth on an average o three hundred each, or total of thirty mousaaa aoiiars. Twenty years ago this farmer had a Door worn out rod clay farm of only thirty acres, todav 'he has alfalfa fields .from which he gets three tons of cured hay per acre worth more than $70.00. He has such a reputation for fine stock that he sells his male calves at from ir,o m $200 each. - : ' The sweet potato growing in Ca tawba, waa a great surprise to the Davidson farmers. - One of the largest growers ' said be made four thousand aushels. that the least yield he had during a pe riod of six years waa slxtt himhn and -the . largest three Irondred.I.and dollars and the hlcbest three hundred They ship their potatoes through a co-operative association which they have among themselves. They send potatoes all over the northern and western states. The committee saw one car of about Ave hundred bushels going to Chicago. The potatoes are housed 4oth above and below the ground. The majority of farmers prefer above the ground. T'Jey use any kind of building, taking out . the wooden floor, cementing at the sills. On the outside they put in studding all around the room eight to ten Inches from the studding of the old building, and All in the eight in ches with saw dust, the overhead floor is also covered ten Inches In saw dust. In the center ot this overhead flooring they have an opening of about two by two feet which acts as the ventilation. During the warm weather this opening Is left uncovered but when the ther mometer abows fifty degrees or lower this opening is covered-The room Is divided off into blnsr about four by eigm or ten reet then are slatted up like a crate so the air can circulate. There are little passage ways about two feet wide between these big crate-nxe Dins. Some of the buildings were small ten by twelve one story smoke houses, others had evidently been two story baras. These two story had "bins on the upper as well as the lowewr story. When the douses were ten feet hlch the bins were made Into tiers. Its front floor tier was on the ground and the second was a wooden floor sumut five feet above ' the ground. The bins were filled about four feet deep with potatoes. . ,The ten feet High buildings enables tha farmers to have about eight feet in depth In storage, with one foot between tbe lower -and upper tier and one foot space between tbe potatoes and ,fhe upper celling ot the house. It, li necessary to ftave the eight Inches ot saw dust between the two walls ot the building to keep the cold out ' ' The committee say they did not sea a bushel of decayed or damaged potatoes at either one ot these po tatoes storage bouses they visited, The committee think tha farmers growing sweet potatoes in Catawba county are making about on an aver age ot more than three times as much profit as the wheat or cotton grow ers ot our county.- And as the Ca tawba county shippers association aay they' will help our farmers of Davidson to market the potatoes they grow, It Is the unanimous opinion of tha committee that onr farmers should arrange at ones to pot a part of their land la awaet potatoes. Mr. J. B. Steals, Farmers Agent -for Da vidson, -will be glad to Co-opera t with aay farmer wanting to put oat sweqt potatoes. ,. Jtartr Bisisstr m rtctam.

We hope itf the tlnal trial the men will be acquitted. Tbe story Is than H. I. Ijopp, for ten years South ern expre&g agent at Lexington: C. R. Fowler, an express messenger, and John K. Hankins, a prominent mer chant of Lexington, went Into a scheme to rob the company. It is charged Chat Fowler delivered to the Lexington agent three hundred dol lars worth of hIioi'b consigned to a Gnntonla dealer and the agent in turn turned them over to the Lexington merchant on Sunday mornlg for $50 and that merchant sold them Mon day at about halt price. It Is said that Fowler wanted to go on the stand and make a clear con fession, 'but hts attorney wouldn't let hlin. The agent and the merchant along with Fowler were held for su perior court In a bond ot 9400 each. That was a bold scheme. The shoes were going to Gastonia, were thrown off at Lexin'gton. The agent delivers them to the merchant and he proceeds, right under the shadow of Gastonia, if the Marie Is true, to sell the shoes at less than half their value. For the good ot all Involved and the name of the state we hope that these charges wil be proven false. It to a terrible story. It suggests many things.

Working With Key Hole Saw. 8ome people are planning, always planning what they are going to do when they get a big amount of mon ey and have big things to work with. The result is that nine hundred and ninety nine of these fellows ' keep planning all through their life and a part of them go to the 'poor house and do' their last planning. There are a -few , good .practical planners. One them is Mrs. J. Z. Greene, of Marshville, who lhas plan ed a county Woman's Social and Bus iness Club,' which has so Worked that all the families in the neighbor hood who belong, to the Club and carry out Mrs. Greene's plans, are re ceiving ten cents a pound more for their butter and ten cents a dozen more for their eggs than the farmers In other sections ot the county are receiving! The Winston-Salem Southbound Railroad has some eood Dlanners and workers, the president, Mr. Feris, the general superintendent, Mr. Johnson, and the traffic manager, Mr. Collier. Mr. Collier s plan of having the farm houses along the road turned into boarding houses is like using a key hole saw to saw with Instead of waiting until he could get a cross cut. If 'he waited to get fine hotels among the beautiful hills and wooded lands on his road to put the first sum mer boarders in, he would wait "a long, long time," .. - - With his key hole saw he will make a start that will bring the hotels. Some of the fellows who are always planning without working will say: "That's no way to do it why dosen't the 3;iithbound Railway build a big hotet at Heeling opritus and at Iwo or three places on the beautiful Yad kin River. People, are not going to the country homes." -These planners are not even good day dreamers, they are just kickers, tney kick at every thing that their neighbors propose to do, and do nothing but suggest what ought to be done.. The first family that -came to the Southern Pines region from the north was put out to borad with, a country family whose house contalped'f aSly five rooms Including the kitchen' one big living room and three bed rooms. During the winter the meals were eaten in the kitchen and in the sum mer a table was placed nnder -the shade of a nearby tree, and for one year this northern, doctor,' with' his wife and child, who went there for his health, boarded.
