T. K. Bruner, secretary of the
State Agricultural Department,
eft for Europe last veek in
Bearch of foreiguers to come to
North Carolina to help our people
attend -to their business. Were
glad thai Mr. Bruner has been
selected for this service, but We
sincerely hope that the object of
his trip will be a complete failure
in every particular.
It seems that there is going to
be something doing hereabouts in
the way of a fight for reduced
telephone rates. Several years ago
the Bell Telephone Company
bought out the Salisburv ex
change, and began at once to ' im
prove" the servioe'and incidentally
of course to raise the price to those
who use the phones. The rates
for the old phones were $2.00 for
business phones and $1.50 for
residence. This was sufficient for a
home company to make something,
but wherever or whenever a new
phona.was put in the price hopped
up to $8.50 for business and $2.00
for residence. This additional
charge was for the "improved"
service. The scent for the increased
rate has almost become so perfect
ed that the Bell people can tell
when a man is thinkig of moving.
The old phone is pulled out without
order, or notice, so quickly one
would think the building was on
fire and suoh haste was necessary
to, save the building, or rather
only the phone.
The folks hereabouts have about
arrived at the conclusion that a
home company might also put in
some improved service and at the
same time save considerable by
doing so. Let's all pull for a
home telephone system 1

- Teoutman, Gideon son of vLaw-
sonlTroutman, of Garfield, - this
county who went "to,. Marion ? last
week to work: ou: the railroad, died
last Friday from the effects of ty
phoid fever. Mr. Troutman was
about 25 years of ag and leaves a
wife and two children who live at
Granite Quarry. Owing to the
condition -of the ' remains the in
terment took place at Marion '
v Bbitton, W. H. a business man
of Anuiston, Ala., died at the
Whiten ead-Stok'es Sanitorium last
Wednesday morning, the result
of being thrown from, a buggy
drawn by a runaway horse. The
accident occurred near Kanopolis,
Cabarrus county, and he was sent
here for ; treatment. His skull
was fractured,- He' was about 85
years of age and bis remains were
carried to his old home at Marion,
Va., accompanied by his brothers,
for interment.
We never took much stock in
jihe 2 1-4 cent rate law passed by
The lastjegislature. No consider
able number of people were clam
mering for reduced passenger
rates, It hilerrearly every business
man in the'State was hoping and
praying for relief from unjust and
discriminating freight charges.
Hence we are of the opinion that
the legislature! did something it
ought not to have done and n?g
. lected to do that which it shonld
have done. However this may be,
a law was passed andlno one com
pany or all of them combined,
should have refused to abide by
it, at least not without first giving
it a fairtrial and ascertaining
-.their ability to do business under
its provisions. In this matter as
well as in others, we realize the
likelihood of authority-drunk
" weaklings doing property interests
great injustice, and, that we often
become quite rebelious and some
what disposed to do some-tall
kicking, yet, such conduct will
not do when it comes to dealing
with the fundamental rights of a
soverign State. But. should one
so far forget himself and do said
tall kicking, the. chances are he
has injured rather than helped
his cause. We feel sure that the
railway companies that have been
, instrumental in having the federal
icourt issue an injunction against
the operation of this rate law,
have greatly injured their cause in
North Carolina for years to oome.
VWe hope, however, some mutually
agreeable solution of the difficulty
- may be reached. .;

congregation had only hired Rev.
J. A. Linn as a supply, but since
the congregation of St. James, at
Rockwell, has been organized and
both St Peter's and St. James'
has become a charge, it becomes
necessary to call Bro-Linn as a

A few issues back Bro. Bsrtlette,
denounced the farmer's as a class
of people who would not stick to
gether, speaking of an organiza
tion. ii tne readers oi tn is pa
per will remembef'Bro. Bartlette
some time ago tried to organize a
threshing machine union, or some
thing to that effect, and' but few
responded. Later ' Bro. Bart.
Wrote an item in which he said
that the farmers would not stick
together.! If they ; would ihey
would be the back-bone of the
worlds Now we feel that our Bro.
did the farmers a great injustice
by expressing himself thus.' The
farmer is. without a single organi
zation, the back-bone of the conn
try. When the farm stops, the
world stops. Think about making
whaat and corn with machinery.
Think of raising wheat and corn
without farming. The farmers
we'll admit are looked down on as
a weak, ignorant, degraded class
by some people. There are peo
ple in this world who would rather
wear the felons stripes than to
stoop' so low as to even speak to a
farmer But you ask those peo
ple where they get ,their daily
bread. Ask them if it was made
by machinery or grown on the
farm. The farmers, as a whole,
area little behind the society
world, he cannot live in a man
sion, he cannot wear a Prince Al
bert suit; but he can wear his
overalls and enjoy the rain and
the blessed sunshine more than
any mau on tne face ol tfod's
green eartn. so tnere now, my
dear Bro. j The farmer lives an
honest, honorable life, he lives by
fulfilling the scriptures and earns
his living; by the sweat of his
brow. .. By this jiving we are not
ashamed to kneet down and ask
the reator of all. things to bless
the soils aud thereby prosper
