According to Mr. Bracken, the

Henry Ford builds auto
mobiles, he builds automobiles.
When he advertises, he advertises.
Publishers are interested in adver
tising that starts the new Ford car
on its way, five pages on five suc
cessive days in two thousand daily
newspapers.
Henry Ford understands adver
tising. First, he spends time,
jfoney. effort and thought, produc
ing what the people want, then lets
the people know he has it.

Mr. Ford starts his new task- as
enthusiastically aa he ..began more
than twenty-five years ago, and ev
ery word he says, every detail about
his new car, is important news to
115,000,000 people.
The good thing about* the - new
Ford car is it will not disturb any
other efficient automobile manufac
turer or organization.
Ford will continue inducing people
to drive automobiles, encouraging
good roads, and his work will in
crease the sale, as always has done,
of bigger, more expensive cars.
Those that buy stocks evidently
think Henry Ford has a good new
tar. His United States stock is not
Eor sale, he owns it all, but stock
n his company in Canada, went up
105 a share in two days, passing
100 a share. Last ; May, Henry

U. D. C. BAZAAR GOES
WELL DESPITE WEATHER
Saturday was a gloomy day for
any affair, whether of business or
pleasure. Nevertheless, the U. D. C.
bazaar and dinner were a success
from both standpoints. A good din
ner was served, which was a conve
ni;?nce for the teachers here to at
tend the county-wide meet, while the
piany articles by local people
and business firms of other towns
on the solicitation of the ex-Presi
dent, or mother of the Chapter, were
sold, bringing in a neat sum for the
Christmas box fund. For it is the
intentipp of. the chapter to send a
nice box to every Surviving Confed
erate soldier in the county, and Capt
Alston has assured the chapter that
he has a dollar to go in each box
as a Christmas present to the old
Johnnie Rebs. As there are about
three dozen survivors, the Captain
will make quite , a generous donation.
FARMERS HAVE SAME
ADVANTAGE AS CITY FOLK
CAL ARY, ,Canada*, v Dec. I.—A
prince may hide himself far from
the crowded cities but he still
wants some of the conveniences of
city life as represented by electric
lights and water that comes out of
a faucet. Such is evidenced by the
installation of recent power, equip
ment on the great ranch ift Albertaf;
owned by the Prince of Wales and
visited by him on most of his trips
to the western hemisphere.
Recently two large Delcq
electric plants were installed oft'
Wales’ ranch, to completely electrify
the many buildings which form a
small city on the immense tract.
Two shallow well Delco Light pumps
to supply all drinking water used on
the ranch also have been 'installed,
so that kerosene lamps and water
from the pumps are at the big ranch
house as they are ip the prince’s
town house in LondoikX

CHATHAM CLUB MEETS
The Chatham county club held its
regular meeting Tuesday night, No
vember 29, and a very interesting
program was rendered. The club
was very fortunate in Mr.
W. -Rr Thompson and Mr. J. O. Han
non to speak. Mr. Thompson, who
is an alumnus of the University
gave an interesting talk on Chat
ham county’s need for greater im
provements along various lines. He
called attention to, the progress that
the county has made in the past, but
stressed the necessity for greater ef
forts to be put forth for the im
provement of conditions in the coun
ty by a more adequate educational
! system.

MANY VISIT WEEKS
FORD EXHIBITION
Pictures of New Car Prove
Revelation and Prices As
tonish the Public
-
There were not enough Fords to
! go round, and the Weeks Motor Co.
faailed to have one on hand last
Friday. In fact, there were only
eleven for the state of North Caro
lina and South Carolina, and they
were sent Friday to the eleven lar
gest towns in the two states. From
those they are to go to smaller and
smaller places till all have had a
chance to see them, or until enough
have been brought into the state to
place one at each Ford station,
Mr. Weeks is hoping to have one
here within two or thi-ee weeks. . But
car or no car, the display Friday
was quite satisfactoy, and,, nearly
three hundred people were register
ed as visitors to the Ford room. Mr.
Weeks had the large room prepared
for the display of the pictures, that
gave a splendid conception of each
of the styles of passenger cars, also
of the 1 1-2-ton truck.
Not only were the pictures of the
cars of interest to the automobile
public, but perhaps, more so were
the prices, which indicate that the
new Fords will ;be only a few dol
lars higher than the old ones, and
the difference will possibly be more
than counterbalanced by the addi
tional accesserieon the new car. For
instance, the new cars will all have
extra wheels.
At Durham an actual car was on
display, and it is stated that more
than 17,000 people saw it. Dr. Far
rell of Pittsboro was one who was
sufficiently interested as to go up
and. see it, and he - came • back en

PORKERS PAY BIG
PRICE FOR CORN
Valuable Results of Feeding
Demonstration Chath&m
ites Plant Lespedeza
The two hog feeding demonstra
tions in this county, whicui
ing conducted by Mr. N. J. Dawkittfi
near Goidston and Mr. W. B. Sfrg*
ughan near Siler City, are showing
some good results. These two dem
onstrations are being conducted in
co-operation with the county agent
and the Office of Swine Extension j
in Raleigh. Mr. Straughan shows an
average gain of 47 lbs. per pig fori
a period of thirty days, and Mr.
Dawkins shows an average gain of j
41 lbs perv pig. The records show]
that during this thirty day period,
after subtracting the price of feed j
bought, Mr. Dawkins has realized j
$2.94 per bushel for his com fed i
to his pigs, and Straughan has rea
lized around $5 per bushel for his
corn. This is estimated at the pres
ent price of pork. These pigs will
be continued to be led until they
reach marketing size, and they will
be weighed regularly at thirty day
intervals. For the month of Decent
»bes, tftegfc pigs will lie' fed one part
of fish meal, three parts of corn
meal and one part of shorts, with
an equal amount of corn.
The County Agent with the assis
tance of tne Experiment Stations
putting on a campaign for 2000
acres in Lespedza or Japan clover
in this county next spring. During
this fall, forty farmers have been
induced to seed a total of 400 acres
in Lespedeza next spring, and it is
hoped to induce a number of farm
ers to try this legume before seed
ing time.
Orders totalling 12,00d ,: 1bs of ex
plosive have been taken by the agent
this fall, but it is very unlikely that
the county will be able to secure
this explosive, as a letter from the
•Washington office states that the
supply for North Carolirfta has al
ready been used. In case we are
unable to secure this explosive, the
checks will be returned to the far

SLAYS HJS BABY ADD
THEN SHOOTS HIMSELF
$
KINSTON, Dec. I.—J. B. Carroll,
Jr., 32, member of a prominent Pitt
county family, late last night dash
ed his infant daughter to the pave
ment in an Ayden street, fatally, in
juring her, and then drov.e to his
home near Winterville and shot him
self to death.
Carroll is said to have been de
mented. His wife had left him and
gone to the home of a relative at
Ayden. Last night she refused to
see him when he called but permit
ted the baby to be taken him on
the sidewalk. Without warning he
hurled the infant to the ground,
crushing its skull. The thud was
heard by women indoors. Car
roll dashed off in his automobile.
The baby’s wails were hushed by un
consciousness. It died in a short
time. Pursuing officers found the
man’s body on the porch of his home
lying in a pool of blood, a gun by its
side. An undertaker placed the
bodies of Carroll and the infant in
the same casket, the baby in the
father’s arms. Ayden acquaintanc
es said the man had been subject to
fits of dementia since boyhood,
when he accidentally killed a near
relative. Feeling was high at Ay
den until news of his suicide reached
that town.

NORTH CAROLINA
NOT POOR STATE,
SAYS BION BUTLER
No State In The Union, Says
He, Is In Better Finan
cial Shape Today
OUR PROGRESS AMAZING
-By BION H. BUTLER
A few day 3 ago I was i:i Aber
deen at the tobacco
market men called to my attention
a check for $3,769.32 paid a farm
er that day for the tobacco he had
sold on the floor .during the sales
of the forenoon. Then I commen
ced to think a little about the con
dition of the' farmer in 'North Caro
lina, and from that the thought ran
ged until it included the whole State.
And as I thought of present condi
tions it flashed over me that we are
crazy as loons when we talk about
the condition of the farmer or any
body else in North Carolina, for the
progress of this State in a material
way has been in the last thirty years
one of the most remarkable roman
ces the world has ever known.
In 1890, or just prior to iny first
visit to the barrens of Moore county
the agricultural products of all this
state, according to the figures from
the United States statisticial de
partment, totaled slightly over $50,-
000,000. From present indications
the tobacco crop of the State this
year will sell for more than all the
agricultural products of the State in
that year, and to go further, for
more than twice as much. Since
that day the farm crops of North
Carolina have climbed up to about
five hundred million dollars instead
of fifty millinos, or easily ten times
as much.
Then I looked at some more fig
ures, and found that the products
of the mills and factories in that
year were slightly over $40,000,000.
Or that the total farm and factory
products reached ninety . millions.
Last year it is stated that the total
of farm and factory reached in this,.
State a billion and a half- dollars,
or an increase of almost sixteen
times that of 1890. Manufactures
alone have advanced to a value of
a billion dollars, or 25 times what
they were in 1890, when I first knew
Moore county.
, Moore county warehouses are
figuring now on selling six million
pounds of tobacco, and thac will
probably bring a million and a half
dollars, where in 1890 Moore county
hardly had any idea what any money
looked like that came from selling
stuff made on the farm. In the pe
riod since 1890 the earnings of the
State from farm and factory have
increased from ninety million to fif
teen hundred millions, an increase
that is not known to any other State
in the Union. And now North Car
olina is making and selling more
farm stuff and manufactured stuff
than any other staate in the Union
made in 1890 except New York,
Pennsylvania and by a slight mar
gin Illinois. We are a more produc
tive State now thtn Ohio was then,
or Massachusetts, which were the
only two that were anywhere near
what North Carolina is now, and
more ones now, no matter what they
are. ! ■ T .
In 1890 no one .looked on Ohio
or Massachusetts or Illinois as states
in the dumps. Yet we go far ahead
now of Massachusetts and ‘ Ohio
then and are close on the record of
Illinois was making. But at that
time Illinois "had twice the popula
tion we have, Ohio had nearly twice
our present population, and Massa
chusetts had more people than we

LOVE'S CREEK CHURCH
BEING MUCH IMPROVED
Work upon Love’s Creek Baptist
church, near Siler City, has advan
ced far enough to indicate that a
great improvement in its appearance
and the comfort of the buiiding will
result as a consequence of the re
modeling in progress.
The walls are being veneered with
brick, with the consequence that the
old church will soon look like a new
brick building and will possess the
comfort of one.
The community also built a new
school house to take the place of
the one burned several weeks ago.
In fact, within two weeks after the
fire the school building was in use.
KEEP PLOWS GOING
ON THE CLAY LAND
RALEIGH, Dec, operation
in the year’s cycle of farming will
pay better than the fall plowing of
clay soils as compared with plowing
these soils in., spring. ..
“When clay soils are plowed in'
the spring, they are likely to break
into clods which are pulverized only
at a great expenditure of labor,”
says E. C. Blair, extension agrono
mist at State College. “At this time
of the year, all hands are needed
in planting the crops and there is a
likelihood that the land will not be
so. well prepared. For plowing per
mits the land to be well pulverized
by the freezings and th&wings and
one trip with the harrow in spring,
The crop may then be planted on
will usually make an ideal seed-bed.
time, on a good seed-bed and a bet
ter yield will be secured.”
Plow deep in fall preparation, ad
vises Mr. Blair. Turn up about an
inch of the subsoil and leave the
surface in a rough condition. This
will help the soil to catch and hold
moisture and will expose a greater
surface to the action of frost. Har
rowing is best not done in the fall,
according to Mr. Blair’s experience.
-This eauses the soil to run together.
Plow it and leave it and then when
tpring weather opens up run the
harrow over the land throughly and
the seed-bed is ready for the plant
er.
It is more important to plow the
clover, grass or lespedeza sods at
this time of the yeare than the old
corn, cotton or tobacco fields. There
fore it would be well to begin with
the sod fields. However, every acre
in the Piedmont section, not. now in
a wfrtter cover crop, should be. giv
en a Christmas present- of a good,
deep plowing, states Mr. Blair.

SILER CITY, Dec. 2.—0. G. Baht
of Hendersonville, accompanied by
Mrs 1 . Bain, arrived here Thursday to
assume his duties as manager of
the Central Carolina Tele
phone company, which recently pur
chased the Bonlee Telephone com
pany and the Snow Camp Telephone
company.,
Mr. Bain, who has had 15 years
experience in the telephone business
will be manager of all the exchan
ges taken over by : the new corpo
ration. He succeeds W; H. Garner,,
who was owner and manager of the
Bonlee Telephone company. Mr.
Garner still maintains an interest in.
ihi system.; -
Officers of the Carolina Tele
phone company, are: President, Geo.
R. Ross, of Jackson Springs; vice
president, T. L. Bland, of Raleigh;
and secretary, Miss M. Conway, of
Charlotte. V ’ 1
Mr. Bain stated today that the
business headquarters of the tele
phone company company will he
located at Siler City. Mr. and
Bain are making their .home with
Mr. and Mrij. J. T. Ellis;
One of .the first things done by
the new management was the addi
tion of an operator at the Pittsboro
exchange, where business has been
picking up lately. In the past one
operator has been hblding the Pitts
boro switchboard for 14 hours each
day, except Sunday .v,;
The Snow Camp system, which
ceased to function several weeks
before the closing of the deal which
transferred it to the new corpora

at a little market place bordered by
great plantains. On either side is
the thick-walled convent. Besides
these white-robed nuns, there are a
handful of inhabitants living in.
great farm houses behind high fenc
es;
There is no street car, no tram*
not even a village omnibus. Nobody
wants one. The nuns, like the farm
ers, have their own carriages which
they use very seldom.. Everything
they need is brought to the market
on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Satur
days. A quarter of an hour’s walk
brings them to the next town. The
inhabitants of. Chevilly prefer thefr
“lost' village.”
FOUR MILLION SLAVES IN
WORLD UNDER BRITISH
LONDON, Dec. s.—Despite the
tremendous progress which has been
made in the advancement of civiliza
tion, recent statistics show that there
are more than 4,000,000 slaves in
the world at the present time.
And England, who was the first
to import slaves to America, has
the majority of these under her de
nomination. However, intensive
work is being done in London to
abolish this, and results are proving
satisfactory.
Speaking before a protest meet
ing, Lady Simon, famous for, her
work in urging the abolition of this
form of making man work, pointed
qut that it could only end in racial
wars. .* - • „
“Everyone knows slavery i s a
black stain on the record of hu
manity. In Jamaica the slaves were
set free nearly 100 years ago. Their
descendants are happy, dignified,
peasant proprietors of farms, grow
ing fruit for the markets.”
Look at the progress of the Amer
ican colored people since their em
ancipation.
Our success in setting free 200,-
000,000 slaves in Sierra Leone, Af
rica, proves that public opinion is all
powerful.”
