The people of the community take a just pride la their new struc ture, and they hava good reason, for FARMERS ARE COOPERATING. Shirt Thieves to JalL Several Car Loads of Sweet Potatoes and Car Load Hogs Will Be Shipped. - The farmers of Dadidsoh county are beginning to take hold of the problem of marketing their, products in the moBt profitable way in a most encouraging manner. Already sever-, al communities have agreed to club together on the. raising and shipping of sweet potatoes to be raised this summer. County Agent J. B. Steele, who has been active in promoting and directing this organisation, has also secured promises for the cooperative shipment of a car load of fine hogs from the county next winter. Southmont, Reeds and the comraun lty north of Thomasville have Joined in the sweet potato proposition. Each community will cooperate in building a modern potato house. Sweet pota toes are easily kept if the proper methods are employed and they find amo8t ready sale at good prices in PERSONALS opening service with a debt of only $700. i The most remarkable part of the story, however, is probably the Jn H Clamant hettnr known 'act Wat me memoersnip numners uie spring, mere is no BUCU uung ..;.-). wi. m-Mu. .. t n.am less than 160. as some folks having "luck" In keep- and two cdmoanions of forelra birth A great crowd was present Sunday rag them over the winter, it is only a -, nt. th-.. mnntha I at the services, which began in the Question or the proper heat and mois .,. .,,kn. -nA. . .....oi-1 forenoon and lasted throughout a large ture.

' That Enterprise Debate. ' It appears that someone tried to "pot something over," in a report of the recent debate held at Enterprise. Two reports of the debate were re ' reived by The Dispatch, but were of different tenor. A little quiet investi gation has divulged the fact that the three Judges were very capable men, tw of them being from out of the community, one from Charlotte and another from Wallburg. The question was decided entirely upon the merits 1 7: H,,T ; th -argument Ub wnesttonljjf;;. and not upon the amount of high sounding terms employed.

Splendid Opportunity for Farmers Who Wish to Win BulL Separator or Trip With Ease. While a number of progressive far mers have become active to take ad vantage of the unparallelled offer The Dispatch is making to the farmers of Davidson county in its Big Live Stock Campaign, there still remains a won derful opportunity for those who have not yet begun work to enter and by a few weeks activity walk off with a good prize. We are not able to get around and personally see every farmer and point out to him the benefit that would ac crue to him by doing active work right now, so we are again calling attention through this medium. A glance at the standing of contestants will show that there yet remains much good working territory in the county that has hardly been touched. If you have been thinking that you would like to have one ot these fine animals or a cream separator on your farm, - or would like to go up to Catawba and see what your progressive neighbors are doing to make farm life more profitable and attractive, then here Is your chance to accomplish these things with a minimum cost to your selves. Do not wait another day but notify us at once and we will supply you with receipt books so that you can get out and reap the harvest while the fields are just bending with grain. You will never -find a better time to work' than Just now. The proposition we are making you Is the best we could conceive. Have you not read the many letters and editorials of commendation from, men you know are leaders In farm activities and from editors who are anxious to see the farmer do well? These men have said some fine things about the Live Stock Campaign. Nearly everyone is of the opinion that this is a great work and one that should meet with hearty re sponse. They would not have said these things is they were not true, for all of them are men well known for their sincerity of purpose. They are men who know. Our fanners in Davidson are of the true blue sort. But right now they need to get more active in their own behalf. We have certainly me,t you half way, and with a proposition from which you will be the chief beneflclar les. Now, let's all get together and show the farmers of other counties Just bow we can can do things in Dav idson.' Lets send a delegation up to Catawba county that will make those folks set up and take notice. You are already convinced that the blood of these fine animals means much to your community now and for genera tions to come. If you get one you will not only enrich yourself but will be a public benefactor. Opportunity is yours right now. see it . ABBOTTS CREEK, NEWSPAPER MEN ENDORSING CANDIDACY OF MR.

Page, who has announced that he will retire at the end of his present term. Col. Varner has been engaged for twentv vpars in the fight for the betterment of his home town and county, the coun ties that surround Davidson, and many other counties in the state have called him and he has gone unselfish ly to aid in their fights for better roads, better farms and better farm homes. For the Democratic party in DavidBon county he. has been found fighting with unswerving devotion for many years, and he has never quit the combat until the last vote was count ed on election night. There is prob ably no man in the district more wide ly and favorably known. There is probably not another man in the county or district who has given more of his own means to aid in the up building of the Piedmont country. He has encouraged the coming of every legitimate manufacturing enterprise and has at all times urged his home people to keep extended the glad hand of welcome to those who would add to the prosperity of the county and section. The agricultural Interests of the county he has held In peculiar regard and every movement that he thought would help the fanner to make more money, educate his children better and provide him better home facilities has always found the active support of Col. Varner.', He wss unceasing In his efforts to secure .a farm demon stration agent a canning club expert and has agitated the organization of community clubs and fairs. He has long preached the gospel ot better live stock on the farms and is right now engaged in an effort to enable the farmers to get a good start in the Improvement ot dairy cattle with a minimum cost The farmers of the county will not forget that Mr. Varner is their, friend. The ' Congresses of be that he owns a newspaper. .. sVaee an announced candidate the soles as his district who want to deleat ate- will search through all The Diepatohs than can find and locate things Varaer has said, or some one else in his pa per, and by twisting and mtemte preting they will be able to appeal to some voters that Varner is an nnar chist, a scoundrel and a fool. But he has worked while others knocked. And when he Is dead aad gone the folks who are left behind will rise up and call him blessed for the good he started and the good he fought through. If he wants to go to Congress his district ought to send him. But he will have to carry ta the convention a lot of enemies en emies who have clung to his seek and sought to sink him and who would fight him to the finish. If his friends in the district want to send a plain representative of the people to Congress, one who dot things and will continue to serve the state honestly and to his own hurt. If they are looking for such a one, Var ner is that one. Salisbury Post . Colonel Varner, editor of The Lex ington Dispatch, is reported as a probable candidate for Congress to succeed Mr. Page, who makes it known that he will not stand for re-election. The colonel will make a strong con tender, and he will have the Rood wishes of his fellow editors throe gh out the State. Klnston Free Preea. . The papers say Henry Branson Var ner of Lexington has a willing mmd as a successor to Congressman Pago who has announced that he will not stand for re-election. If Mr. Varner is willing, we believe the people of the seventh district are willing far him to have the place. Clevelaad Star. ".4ft04bwutT-se'iny te to Used with maajwprebttnns; having, to do with ths sgricultufel 'development of ths na tion and federal aid in building good roads throughout every state. There could be no doubt as to where CoL Varner would stand on these ques tions. He -would nqt only stand for the farmers but he would work for their InterestS'-in the national body Just as hard. as. he has for his own home folks. Col. Varner has many friends In Thomasville who would be glad to lend blm their active ' support. He has at all times urged thst the two principal towns of the county should cooperate with each other for the good ot the whole county and his ef fort has been devoted to the end that no strife should ever exist. Davidson county should tall solidly In line to support Mr. Vsrner's can didacy should be make the definite announcement which It Is practically certain ufc will do. Not since 1872 has Davidson had a man to grace the House of Representatives, and surely it is time we were given soma consid eration. ' This Is one ot the biggest snd wealthiest counties In the dis trict and one In which Democrats al ways find themselves (iced with the necessity of fighting hard for victory. Tbs party cannot set down In David son when the convention Is over and Just wait for the majority to roll up. It takes work here, and work of a kind that should be recognized.
