Salisbury, N. C, Nov. 9th, 1909
We wish to acknowledge the re
ceipt of a copy of the first issue of
theLexington Leader, a newspaper
which has just been launched
there with Wm C. Ivy and W. H.
Phillips at the helm. It is a
bright sheet of eight pages and
comes out with the banner of
Democracy unfurled, "Not to in
vade occupied territory nor to
cmbat existing institutions of
merit, but rather to foster and aid
in extending new enterprises of
every legitimate c-h a r a c t e r ,
throughout Davidson county gen
rally and Lexington in partic
ular. Thus covering 'a neglected
area of sufficient extent in wealth,
intelligence and undoubted liber
ality to handsomely sustain a sec
ond weekly paper." We gladly
shake hands with them and wish
them joy in their new misery.
ROCEEOINGS OF THE COUNTY COURT.
The Farm Boy's Chances.
But what inducements does
the business of farming in the
South hold out to the strong
ambitious boy? Why, just
about everything. Do people
talk about the greater oppor
tunities of twenty years ago
for the young man who would
make a success in agricul
ture? Just laugh at them,
for there was never such an
opportunity in the history of
the ages as stands beckoning
to the young man on the
farm today. We have just
begun to study the science of
of agriculture are jrist be
ginning to find out that ours
is a business that requires
brains to handle, and the
young man of today is train
ing his brain in the line of
his business. What this brain
force means to the agricul
ture of the South we will be
gin to realize within ten
years.
I tell you, boys, I wish for
no greater pleasure than to
be privileged to go along with
you for the next few years
and see the things that ap
plied science will briner about
on your farms, for it is going
to be something worth while.
We are going to see our ten-
bushel wheat crops increased
to twenty and from twent
to thirty. Our twelve- and
fifteen-bushel corn croDS are
gsing to fifty, and some of
you are not going to be con
tent with less than one hun
dred bushels per acre: and
our third-ofa-bale croDS of
cotton are going right up to
a bale per acre, and then to
two bales.
Our beautiful Southern
country will be cleared of
brush and briars, her soils
filled lull to bursting with
humus. The galls and gul
lies will be a thing to look
back to with shame, for we
will have learned (what men
ought to have learned years
ago) that grass is the great
soil builder and binder. A.

rfO" SALE BY ALL DftUCCISTS.
Who. Why and the Cost to Those That
Stood Before the Judge.
Burgess Wood was before
Judge Miller in the County
Court on lbursday and
pleaded guilty to the charge
of selling blackberry wine
and plum wine, and waa fined
$25.00 and th cost. He also
plead guilty to the charge oi
selling the same goods on
Sunday and to minors. In
this case judgment was sus
pended to be pronounced at
the pleasure of the court.
Henry Smith, colored, was
up for beating a negro wo
man with a piece of plank,
about tour feet long, two
inches wide and one inch
thick, and, judging by the
plank which was exhibited in
the trial, he treated her pret
ty roughly. But Henry
proved a good character, and
it was shown that the woman
was a bad one, who has been
following the double-track
ing camps from place to place,
and had used some ugly lan
guage to Henry. Judge Mil
ler would not dispose of the
case until he could learn her
condition.
Early-risers, on coming up
West Bank street, Sundav
morning, found a trail of
blood on the pavement which
ended at th gate of Dr.
Council's residence, and was
found upon following it up
that it led bacK up to Main,
down Main to Council, and
thence to the restaurant of
Charles Chames, a Greek,
who does business between
Main and Lee streets. Noth
ing much could be learned
about it Sunday, but in the
county court Monday morning
Robert Duncan and Charles
Chames were up for an af
fray, and it was shown that
Duncan went into the Creek's
place on Saturday night and
raised a row about some tools
which he claimed he had left
there. He became so obstrep
orous that an officer was sent
for and he went away, but
afterwards came back and
renewed the row and slapped
at the Greek, who then struck
him in the face with a bottle,
which broke, cutting Dun
can severely on the nose and
face, lie was Utterly cover
ed with sticking plaster when
he appeared in court, but did
not appear to be seriously
hurt. They were fined $25.00
each, and the cost was di
vided equally between them.
There was another case
against Duncan for disorder
ly conduct, to which he plead
guilty and fined was $5.00
and cost.
Charles Brown was fined
$10.00 and cost for disorderly
conduct.
John Donaldson was fined
$5.00 and cost on a similar
charge.
Louico Mitchell and Van
Lindsay Young, two young
negroes, plead guilty to an
affray. Mitchell was fined
$10.00 and cost, and Young
was let off for ; . i id cost.
John Ellmore was charged
$5.00 and cost for disorderly
conduct. ,
Chas Brown, who was fined
$10.00 and cost on Monday,
was sent to the roads for 30
days, having failed to pay up.
Sam Trull was found guilty
on the charge of assault with
deadly weapen and judgment
was supended.
Van Lindsay Young, who
was fined $5.00 for his part of
an affray with Luico Mitcb
ell, had his reduced to $2.50

Sheriff McKeuzie, Deputies
Kridfr, Tolbert and Whitehead
McKczio captured Joe Cotton,
col. at Happy Hill, East Spencer,
Wednesday night, and held him
for Sheriff Zeigler, of Forsyth
County, who came after him on
Thursday. He is charged with
murder, having shot a man to
death in Winston, Now if some
other sheriffs would do likewise we
might soon havs tbe negroes who
killed Conductor Wiggins and
Officer Monroe. It is hard tobeat

A Condition in France Which Will be Re
peated Here Should Opportunity Offer.
Paris, Nov. 7. The situation
rt-suiting from the French episco
pates declaration of war against
the public sohools and the effort
to mobilize the Catholic voters for
the comiDg general election is
rapidly entering an acute stage.
Mgr. Gely and other bishops
have publicly forbidden Cathclic
parents to send their children to
public schools if Catholic schools
are available, and parents every
where are urged to refuse to allow
their children to use the interdict
ed text books
Considerable demoralization of
(the schools has been caused al
ready. M. Deumergue, minister
of public instruction has ordered
an investigation of the situation,
which probably will determine
the government's ultimate atti
tude. The decision of the teachers' as
sociation, . comprising 100,000
members, to test in the courts the
Church's right to interfere with
the public schools, will be follow
ed by damage suits instituted by
the authors of the interdicted text
bookB,
M. Dabourg, archbishop of Ren
ugp, in a statement just issued,
declares that Catholic vcterB must
rally to the protection of the
Church.
The Catechism is being revised
for the purpose of teaching that
it is a religious duty to vote for
the candidate who is pledged to
defend Church iuterests.

Mr. Finley on the 17th.
The committee appointed
by the Board of Trade to ar
range for the reception and
entertainment of President
W. W. Finley of the South
ern Railroad, who is billed to
speak here on November 17th,
is sending out invitations to
farmers and every one who
can come to hear him. He
will speak at the court house
at noon and has something of
interest to say to every one,
no matter what his calling.
The district meeting of the
Jr. O. U. A. M. will be held
here on the 17th, with some
thing like 200 delegates in
attendance, to help to swell
the crowd which will hear
him.
The banquet which is to be
given in Mr. Finley's honor
at the Empire Hotel, at night,
will be under the direction
of O. W. Spencer. It is use
less to say more.
Will Pay Premiums this Week.
The auditing of the bcoks of
the Rowan County Fair Associa
tion has deon completed and Sec
retary M. L. Jackson announces
tfcat he will, about the 10th or 12th
of the month, commence sending
out checks to those parties to
whom premiums are due. The
management of the fair are very
much gratified that they are able
to pay aU the premium? due and
have a small balance left. Those
holding premium checks are ask
ed to wait for a short time when
every one will be paid in full
Already steps are being taken for
the fair next year and it is believ
ed that with the help and support
of the people of Rowan that it can
and will be the best ever held
here.
Some Extra Good Bargains at
BELE-HiKRT
BAITS
If mites are Btill in the poultry
house, reduce the flock to where
every bird can be handled and
greased and du?ted, and the poul
try house saturated with kerosene,
taking especial care to see that
the oil penetrates thoroughly un
derneath the roost poles. It will
save much work and loss next
season if this is done now. Ral

Don't' Fall to Keep the Water Off the
Road Bed.
Remember that the first es
sential of any road building
is drainage, and in the con
struction of our earth roads
special care must be taken to
eliminate in every way water
from the road bed. If the
road has been built so that it is
well crowned and side ditches
have been constucted to take
care of the surface water,
there should be little tenden
cy for the road to become
muddy or gullied. The wa
ter should be carried out of
the side ditches as often as
possible, to prevent seepage
of water into the road and
also to prevent ditches from
becoming gullies. These
ditches should have sufficient
fall to carry away the water,
but not enough to give the
water cutting action, and this
fall should be at least half a
foot in every hundred feet.
Very often it is necessary
in order to get the water out
of the ditches to carry it from
one side of the road to the
other, and when this is neo
essary, it -will be found the
most economical, in the end,
to build either concrete cul
verts or to put terra cotta
pipes, to carry tbe water un
der the road. On hill-sides,
where the road is 3 per cent,
to 4 per cent, grade for some
distance, it may be found
necessary to build ditches, at
intervals, in order to get the
Wiiteroff the surface of the
road. These should not be
built, as i? so often done, in
the form of "thankyou
ma'ams' or "breaks," but
should be constructed in the
form of the letter V, with
the point up-hill. This will
throw the water to each side
and at the same time wagons
will strike the drain with
both wheels at the same time,
aud not receive the heavy jolt
that is customary with the
other form.
Tbe earth road should be
exposed to the sunshine as
much as possible, in order
that it may dry out rapidly
after a rain; although shade
tre.ee are an advantage to a
macadam road, too much
shade is a decided disadvan
tago to an earth road. Jos
