ROKEE SCOUT. MURPHY. N. C. THURi THIS and THAT It's time to chuck another age old custom into the discard. It is NOT wise to cover a cut foot or ankle with a white stocking or sock. On the contrary it may be dangerous. So says Mr. Harvey Wilson, who before coming to Murphy, to found the Cigarettes Sales Company, wa& executive Vice-president of one ot the largest stocking mills in the nation. "If you have a cut. or a sore on your foot or ankle, the best thing to do is to apply a sterlized bandage, and stay home until it heals" Mr. Wilson said. "But if you must go out, and want to cover it. for heavens sake DON'T think you're getting any protection by putting on a sock or stocking that is pure white. Any other fast color is far and away better. "The reason is that' pure white stockings have to be bleached?and the bleaching process is done with a chemical that is a whole lot more dangerous than the ordinary pure vegetable dyes." Sad, yea verily, sad indeed is the plight of the poor workers who have to wear themselves out pulling a string that lifts a red flag every time u car comes along the highway. It is tiue that by tieing one end of the string to a tree, or telegraph pole, at the proper luighth, it is possible foi the "workc to sit down, and manipulate that string without ever having to get up. But the ground is so hard' Sometimes they have to stretch themselves too! One of them, we noticed, has done away with this last need by getting himself a two foot section of log, which he places upend and sits on. But alas, he hasn't any cushion. Worse sti^, there is very little shade along the stretch of no. 19 where the men now are located. We tlfmk the Government is treating these men shamefully. They ought to have nice light stools (it's a nusi VUIivv vv? nave iu move U nt'HVy iogj and they ought to have nice fat cushion?. And by all means, they ought to have sun parsols. And while we are on this subject, we find ourselves mildly curious about the brilliant idea back of this project whereby big, strong men v put to work daintily manicuring the red-clay hillsides to the smoothness of satin. Of course, as soon as a heavy rair comes, all those ugly wrinkles and frills they are so gently massaging away will come right back again exactly as bad as before. We wonder the man who though! this work up. has taken this up with Heaven ? Mayor Tillitfc, of Andrews, dropped in for a chat, grew reminiscent. "1 tried the first case in this county ever to be tried before an all woman jury" he said. "It was a sanity hearing. I was trying to show that a certain one time big business man in An drews was not competent to manage his own affairs?and I won. "At the start, some people thought I was foolish for having nothing but women on the jury; but my wife said it was the smartest thing I ever did. She declared any woman, would agree, at any time, that NO man was able to manage his own affairs, ever!' V. c. o. Timely Farm Questions QUESTION: Is sheep raising profitable in North Carolina? ANSWER: Yes. Research work by scientists of the North Carolina Experiment Station indicate that a small farm flock will pay excellent returns throughout most of N<vr*H Carolina. Purebred Hampshire rams used on native ewes produce excellent cross bred lambs of high quality and with good weight of body and wool. Sheep keep weeds under ' control, produce mutton for horn? use and supply an income from wool and lambs. QUESTION: Is grass silage a practical feed in this State, ANSWER: Apparently so because many good farmers have now turned to this method of providing succulent feed for their cattle during summer. It is rather hard to cure for hay the cereal and legume crops planted in the fall and harvested in the spring. Many times it rains continuously when the hay should be cut and ' the crop thus matures to the point where it is nothing much but stems and woody tissue. If the crop is cut and rained upon, curing is difficult and a low quality, moldy hay is the result. On the other hand, this material can be cut and stored in the silo at any time, preserved with molasses and the cattle are assured of an excellent feed. There is no waste. >DAY, JULY 6. 1939 NOBODY'S BU BYGEEMcGHEE king treo. and queen eliz. did not vissit in flat rock on their tower into the u. s. they wid possibly stop off on their next trip. it was a mistake that rar.s holsum moorc, sr., inhairted 200(1$ from hex recently dissea&ed gram paw. it was only 20$. the cyphers were rote in o. k.* but the period was left out of the newspaper betwixt them. the mortgage on mr. slim chance's new otter-mo-beel should have read 57f?$ instid of 5.75$ as per a recen* notis of mortgages recorded, he will soon swipe that out as he is clerking m a stoar ewer Saturday that takes in a rijrht smart of redtfy cash. mr. junk simkins died 2 (lays after his operation by dr. hubbert Kreen, an dnot while on the table under the knife jtnd saw, as per yore news item last tuesday. it is all so not the truth that his wife has her eyens on hon. stupid jhonson. they are only cuzzins, and he has always vissited his cuzzins in the pat.

Turning Back H 30 YEARS AGO Tuesday, July 6. 1909 Mr. John Stanley Mcroney, Sr., editor of this paper, died Monday, June 28, 1909, at 1:30 p. m. at his home in Murphy, surrounded by loved cues, after bravely battling twelve days with pnemonia.
