Most of the farmers in this
fommunity have finished plant-
he corn, and some are afraid
hat the corn will dry rot in the
round before it comes up as it
very dry now.
If the prospect for a good
heat crop continues we will
ot to have to eat corn cakes all
ie times next year. -
Some one asked me if I would
lot have to pay a tax for a privi-
ze of selling washing machines
lid I toM them if I did have to
iy I would not kick, I also stat-
that the washer that, I hand-
Li would save a woman's hands,
ms, back and health. I have
en as many as four blisters on
iy wife's hands at one washing
the old way, but mind you

Uered and her life is not worn
It when the wash day has pass-
. Now if I have to pay a tax
will pay it, however, I do
t bolieve it is right to tax one
r selling a machine that will
olong the live of our women.
jelieve the washer that I hand
will add months and years to
e lives of our women. On last
ednesdayl received $7, from
ir. J. M. Moore for a washer,
Heating that She. was pleased
th the work of the washer,
1 Mr.' Moore's word will pass
far as he is known. , So .keep
i tax off, and I will be a bless-
to the ladies of Person and
rham in the future. The men
use all the implements they
get for their comfort and
e and why not the ladies.

will not give my sermon only
utline, but 1 desire in a few
3 to explain four words of mt
t, and in those words we find
a precious promise to the sinner
and the wrecked (on condition.)
We see in the words forsake and
return the sinner's part to work
out in his salvation, and after
the sinner does his part which
God says "let him do," then in
the words mercy and pardon we
find God very flying. His prom
ise in carrying to completion the
sinner's salvation which no man
can do but God. All the sinner
has to do is to be willing to for
sake and return from sin to God,
and if he is not .willing to for
sake and return which required
effort on the part of the sinner, j
he will never last of the joys of
salvation and again all that God I
has to do is to grant mercy and
pardon so the sinner and the
last and most important work of
granting mercy and pardon to
the sinner is not for angels nor
man to bestow, and the only
that the layman and ministers
have to do is to persuade men to
forsake sin, return to God and
accept the mercy and pardon
that God offers that He alone can
give to the returning sinner.
Again as we are workers togeth
er with Christ, we should never
cease or relax to do our part in
some way directed by Him in
telling lost sinners of the mercy
and pardon that God has in store
for them if they will do their
part, forsake the way of sin and
return to God who with bleeding
hands will wash away every
stain of sin.
Den Chandler, who now lives
on the land of Mr. Abbie O'Bry
ant, is passing through seas of
trouble as he recently lost a son
whose death was caused by fev
er. He now has two other chil
dren confined to their beds with
fever. The people are indeed
good to Mr. Chandler, Mr. 0'
Bryant has sent people around
and tney have contributed well
on toward $200, for Mr. Chand
ler's benefit. Roper.

Guess everybody smiled yester
day, especially those that had cot
ton land that wastoohard to plow.
The first day of May seemed al
most like the first day of a winter
month, but nevertheless tobacco
fanners planted out tobacco.
Messrs. W. D. Teed and W. R.
Grissom went to Neuse River
fishing one day this week and
their luck was one poor little, piti
ful perch.
Messrs. II. M. O'ncal, Walter
Layton and W. Tilley went to
Cook's old mill pond fishing
Thursday. They reported five
little fellows. Don't suppose the
above named will go fisting again
soon.
Mrs. A. Ferguson has bee sick,
but I am glad to say is much
better.
' Robert Johnson has had a right
bad case of malaria fever, but

There was a prohibition speak
ing at Union Grove Sunday, the

and also impressed the .hearers
in the interest of the cause they
represented. A large crowc was
present and all of them seems to
enjoy it. J. E. F.
Soldiers at Commencement.
Winston-Salem, May 3. The
Forsyth Riflemen are arranging
to attend the commencement of
the Yadkinville Normal JCollege,
which takes place the third week
in May. The members of the
company will leave here on the
Wilkesboro passenger trains on
the morning of May 18th in a
special coach. They will leave
the train at Rockford and march
through the country to Yadkin
ville, a distance of 10 miles.
They will go prepared to camp
out, taking their shelter tents
with them. They will spend
three days at the county seat of
Yadkin. The boys will have a
sham battle immediately after
the commencement exercises
Tuesday night. May 19th.
The commencement is one of
the biggest things that occurs in
the county during the year and
always attracts large crowds.
The crowds this year will be in
creased by a thousand or more
on account of the presence of
the soldiers. It is expected that
at least 40 members of the com
pany will take the trip, including
the captain and other officers.
The mayor of Yadkinville, the
principal of the school and a
large number of citizens have
sent the boys special invitations
to visit Yadkinville during the
commencement While the boys
will "camp oat," the citizens of
the town will provide them with
all that is necessary to satisfy
the inner man.
The Independence League.
So in the pending campaign
the Hearst Independence League
is not going to associate with
anybody. That is what Mr.
Hearst said in its New York
State convention Saturday night
it should not do, and a3 it is his
it will of course obey him. Run
ning a ticket and campaign of
its own, what effect it will have
upon the vote of the other par
ties in November cannot be fore
told. Hearst himself is undoubt
edly very popular in New York
City, in which he very nearly
defeated Mayor McClellan. if he
did not quite do so, and the size
of his vote in the State when he
ran for Governor against Mr.
Hughes was so large.' as to have
surprised everybody. Besides,
his party is organized in a half
dozen or more States, Alabama
the latest, and its power for mis
chief may as well be recognized.
In New York the Democratic par
ty will be most affected in Mass
achusetts and California may be
open to question. But the Inde
pendence party will cut a figure
in the voting this year; there is
no doubt about that. Charlotte

In Durham the vote was large
and much interest was manifest
ed by the people generally; Tak
en altogether, it wa3 a very
quiet election, the voters going

ecuted. The vote in Durham!

la tbe Convict Camps.
Npt because one sixteen year
old boy was shot to death by a
guard who had no legal right to
kill him do we suggest that the
stories floating concerning bru
tality in convict camps he looked
into, but because we are Unform
ed that in one camp not very
long ago a convict complained of
being ill. Instead of getting
medical attention for him he
was severely whipped and it is
said died within two hours.
We are told that is a true bill,
and that other stories of out
rages have been reported. One
of these days a grand jury should
find a true bill against these men
who commit murder without any
authority for committing it, and
maybe things would change.
When a man goes on the road
he must be protected. If he
tries to escape no guard has any
legal right to shoot him down,
and the sooner this matter is set
tied the better it will be. There
is no law for such conduct.
There is a law against such con
duct and the officers must take
note of it. Fairbrother'g Every
