THE .CAROLINA WATCHMAN. Win. H Stewart, KDITOB AND OWNER Published Every Wednesday, - 120 West Innes Street. BUBSOBIPTION PRICE! Watchman .... 1 y r $ . 75 Record... 1 yr $ .75 Both Papers . . 1 y r $1 00 Advertising rates reasonable. Entered ai teeond-elass matter Jan. 19th. 1806, at the pott office at Salis bury, 3S. O., under the aet of Congress of March Srd, 18 78. Salisbury, July 23rd, 1913. The N. 0. PreBS Association meets in Aiheville today and will hare a two-day's session. The editor of The Watchman regrets that he cannot be present, bat hopes and believes the boys will have an enjoyable occasion. This morning as we walked down Main Street it was quite significant to note the difference between the establishments that advertise in The Watchman and those that don't. Messrs . Belk Harry Co., the reliable merchants and persistent Watchman adver tisers, had a big crowd and all the clerks were busy waiting on cus tomers, while directly across the street Feldman's bunch who are trying to conduct a speoial sale, were 'all standing at the doors and windows doing nothing. The Watchman does not think much of the proposed changes for the State constitution. The ini tiative and referendum section is insufficient, the Bible in the school is timidity , gone to seed, and in fact the whole thing seem9 to have some hidden intent not yet divulged. There has been no general demand for these changes and unless the increase in legislators' salaries is at the bottom of this move we are on able to figure it out, We notice considerable in the papers on the subject? of rural credits, indicating that the farm en of this State and the South are greatly in need of funds in order to keep going and some method of a subsidy should be arranged for their benefit. Kural banks fur nishing money at a very low rate of interest seem to to have the, lead on other propositions for this purpose. If such oonditions exist The Watchman hopeB to Bee an early consumation of a practi cal solution, but this sheet is not yet ready to believe the farmer is such a pauper as these reports ki dicate. The real farmer of to-day has money to loan. Woodrow Wilson did the conn try a real service when he dis pensed with the inaugurl ball and thus avoided a national exhibition ef ludeness and indecency popu lar called the "bunny hug," the 'kitchen sink," "turkey trot," etc. His good example, however, has not yet spread throughout the nation and found very cordial re sponse in all the inhabited places thereof, for some such things are reported to have taken plaee in Salisbury recently and, from all accounts, they were the most indecent performances that have taken place here in a along time. It is remarkable, judging by what we hava been told, that inch conduct would be tolerated or taken part in by deoent people. Woe be to the Oounty of Rowan when the land sharks get through with it. If the can have their way every farm in the county will be cut up and sold at two or three prices above their value, then cut up again and sold some more and ome more ad infinitum . Agricul ture will be practically discontin ued in the mad rush to sell and become wealthy and the citizen ship will be changed from a stur dy, peaceful native population to a mongrel dissatisfied horde who will find living hard and the most exacting efforts necessary to make ends meet. Just recently the goverment thought it of sufficient importance to warn the farmers of the South not to sell their scrub cattle with the idea of buying better cattle, because when they go to buy good oattle they would find that people would not have bought their scrub took if good stock oould have been obtained, and this is what the farmer. would learn s when it would be too late. This same reasoning, to a very large extent, applies to land. When you turn a farm over to a land shark to cut up, divide and auction off with the aid of a lot of by-bidders at unu sual prices ycu are starting a oheme that is unsound, undesira ble and of far reaching conse quences to yourself, to your neigh bors and to the oounty. The higher the prioe of land the more it must produce to make it a profitable investment and the only reason why one piece of land should be worth more tbaa anoth er is because it will produce more or will produce as much with less labor. No man need think be cause he has paid a high price for a small tract of land he can now take his ease for, of a fact, be must necessarily work the harder to uuake it pay him. The logio of farming is the same as in mer chandising, which is to buy your land, materials- and labor as cheaply as possible and market your crops at the greatest prioe possible. It is cheap land, even if extra good, that is wanted, for surely if a farmer can earn a liv ing and fair wages on land worth fifty dollars per acre, he can earn better wages should his land have cost him only twenty-five dollars per acre; the interest and taxes on his investment would be only half and the percentage of profit just double. The enhanced value of a farm that is not based on the improve ment of its land does not count for much, and the sale of a farm merely because of what appears a good price is a poor excuse for selling. How often have farmers sold out only to find their mis take, and in numerous instances re-purchased the deserted home, somewhat the worse for their ab sence, at an advanced prioe . The man who has lived on the farm until forty or fifty years of age, like men in other trades, is not fit for anything else. Should he go to the city he can only hope to be a common laborer while on the farm he is a king, lord of his pos sessions, and cometh goeth as it pleaseth him. Ail this is different with the dollar chaser and the land shark. It ia their business to reap without sowing. They buy and sell land and they expect to make a profit. It makes no difference as to oon equeoces, it is a money-making proposition. They will bargain for a pieoe of land at so much per acre ; and without adding two cents worth of improvement to the soil immediately add a good stiff per oent. to the purchase price. This is what they call "improved" land and the buyer pays the bill and learns to his sor row that he has been the victim of a wildcat scheme. TT J ' i . . . A.eep your lanai, teacn your boys to love the farm and stay on them. The farmer is the back bone of the oountry and has better chanoe than most people. Lineman Killed. Monday afternoon while Ray Mesimer, an employee of the Southern Bell Telephone Compa ny was near the top of a high pole, corner of Main and Kerr Streets, he gave a yell, threw his hands backward and fell to the hard street below. The fall orushed his skull and otherwise injured him. ; Just at this time B. J. Hole, manager of the N. 0. Public Service here, was passing and by the help of others put the unfor tunate man in his automobile and took him to the sanatorium at once. Mesimer, who was about 23 years old, died soon afterward. Just why he fell is conjecture, but it is generally believed a heavily charged wire of the Public Service Company was across the telephone wire, (anywhere within a mile or more,) and the voltage was just sufficient to cause the young man to jump and lose his balance. Mr. Mesimer was a son of Mr. and Mrs. J. A . Mesimer of the Ebe- nezer Church neighborhood and was a splendid youug man. The young man s remains were pre pared for burial and taken to the home of his parents Mondav afternoon and the funeral WAR held from Ebenezer Church ves- terday afternoon, Rev. H. A. Trexler officiating. A large crowd attended the services. This is a sad and untimely end for a much esteemed young man and the sor rowing; ones have the sympathy of numerous friends.

Book and Pants List or Stolen. Last Saturday our collector, Q. N . Trexler, bought a pair pants at J. Feldman's, put them on and had those he was wearing, a $7.00 pair, wrapped up and laid aside until he called for them Moniay morning. Mr. Trex ler, not knowing the Feld mans as some of us do, had a a partial copy of our sub scription list wrapped up with the pants. Upon call ing at this place Monday morning for his package he could get no information con cerning it, as has occured at this place on occasions before now. Absolutely nothing could be turned up except a guess that it had been given out to some one else and that they were not responsible for customers' packages left in their care. We would ask, if it seemed woith while, for any one who coulcL have pos sibly gotten this package, by mistake of course, to return same to this office, but ex perience indicates the pants will be on tle market along with others and we will never see the book. The pants were new, had just been pressed and would make a favorable impression in a pile of shoddy stuff. There is not another store in town where the proprietors will not cheerfully care for a customer's package. Benefit South Side Real Team. A drama entitled "The Heart of a Hero," in four acts, will be rendered Saturn day night, in Hartman's Hall, on Chestnut Hill, for the benefit. of the Southside Real Team.

" For fifteen years I suffered untold agony, and for one period of nearly two years I hadhem orrhages and the doctors told me I would have to un dergo an operation, but I began taking Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com pound and am in good health now. I am all over the Change of Life and cannot praise your Vegetable Compound too highly. Every woman should take jt at that time.

Mrs. J. R. Picking, 1260 Sargent St, Baltimore, Md. Since we guarantee that all testimo nials which we publish are genuine, is it not fair to suppose that if Lydia E.
