The county lost a most valuable eitizenlon last Wednesday night when Rev. Daniel Carpenter, an a-td and respected citizen of the county who lived in Howard's G tf k breathed his last. Deceas ed lived to the ripe old age of t-ir.ty years. He is survived by a widow and three children, viz: Rev. Lander Carpenter of dt.'orgia. and Mesdames R. L.

At the adjourned meeting of the county commissioners held Tuesday to further consider the bids for the road bonds, $125,000 of the bonds were sold to Wood Hi, Mc Near & Moore, a big i-anking iirm of Chicago. Of the amount sold $50,000 are 15-year i-"ji.ds and the remaining $57,000 urn 1" years. The total premium "'I the 125,000 is $4,910 and in addition the purchasers will bear :' -e expense of having the bonds l'i''pared, which really makes the premium equivalent to about Senator Cobb as a Farmtr, Senator W. S. Gobb,' of Lum ber Bridge, is the leader among the truck and melon farmers of this region -of the entire State, in fact. He has already shipped seventy car loads of watermelons and expects to ship at least thirty more. He has shipped about two dozen car loads of cantaloup es and the end is not yet. It is gratifying to learn that both cantaloupes and watermelons brought good prices this season. Watermelons have brought from something like $225 to $300 a car load. Mr. Cobb's watermelon crop is the best of all the fine ones he has raised, and he says he never expects again to grow such a perfect crop. He grew and shipped a mammoth Irish potato crop. He will get a big cotton crop and corn a plenty. J. A. Parham, in Fayetteville Index. - Davis Conies Back. j Senator Jeff Davis can "come back." The senate is still laugh ing, something the senate hardly ever does, at the neat way the Arkansan put one over the dignitied Senator Lodge, ' of Massachusetts, the other day. It was the day the free list bill was adopted and many amend ments were being off ared Among others sent forward was the following by Senator Lodge: "To add to the free list bill the following: 'Rice, cleaned; un clcaned rice, or rice free of the outer hull and still having the inner cuticle on; rice flour, rice meal, and broken rice; paddy or rice having the outer hull on.' " Arkansas raises some rice and has it in all the states and condi tions enumerated in the Lodge amendment. As the reading cerk said "Rice," Senator Davis pricked up his ears and his interest quickened as the clerk keot on saying, "Rice." By the time he had stopped reading Senator Davis was scratching off an amendment. And this is what he offered: "To add to the free list bill: 'Boston baked beans, black beans string beans, and all other beans, raw, dried, split, or parched; also codfish, skinned or unskinn ed, fresh, or served in calls. It brought down the house. The senate forgot its dignity and revelled in uncontrollable mirth. Of course the Lodge amendment had no chance of passing anyway, but if it had, the Davis amendment would haye killed it completely. It would have been laughed out of court.

One morning, in 1908, Represen tative Leake of New Jersey roasted Bryan on the floor of the house. For his pains he was hissed and hooted down. In 1909 Representative Clark of Florida received like treatment at the hands of the democrats. Wed nesday the democrats of the house, almost to a man, applaud ed and congratulated Mr. Underwood. ' William Jennings Bryan is a jealous man. He has tried to hammer down every Democrat that promised anything. In Governor Harmon of Ohio he sees democratic hope, In Gov ernor Johnson at Minnesota he saw a dangerous rival. Both he branded as trust-tainted.He tried to put a brand on Oscar W, Un dewood. Tha worm turned and the-one that treaded upon his back was stung. The people Ije an able, capa ble, aggressive man of courage and convictions. Oscar Under wood is that sort of a citizen. He knows how, when and where to hit and is not afraid to do it. Other men have been scored, read out of the party and slan dered by the peerless one, but they did not have the sand in their gizzards to strike back. Reading democrats out of the party is one of the favorite pastimes of Bryan andBryanites. North Carolina is afflicted with some of the latter. If a demo crat has left undone something that the whip users think he shouid have done he is immedi ately set upon and hounded. Marion Butler was elevated to office by the loyal band of popu lists that stood by him until he quit them because of the hue and the cry raised against him. The hue and cry against Furnifold M. Simmons and William Water Kit-chin is eliminating Judge Clark and Governor Aycock from the senatorial race. If it is kept up there will be but two in at the finish. North Carolinians, when clothed in their right mind will not go at the crack of a dic tator's whip. They are not made of that sort of clay. Washington Correspondence of Asheville. Ga zette News.

Every body in this part of the country is going to the Reunion at New ton the 17th.. Crops around me are as fine as frog hair. Depty Frank Cline has got the best crop of corn and cotton in this townsnip, and made a nne crop of wheat and oats, and a fine crop of melons. He made his melon patch in a red gulley This is no joke, and they are fine you bet. Why not start economy while the sack is full. I have a neighbor and a good friend of mine that is feeding his sheep on poplar leaves and possom grape vines. Me says it is a sure cure for that dreaded disease that is called grub that has been hard on sheep and cows this dry weather. Well, what do you think of staking cows in the middle o Catawba river. This is no fish storv. Mr. Henry Eryin, who lives on the Squire Pitts farm four miles below Catawba, leads his cow over on a sand bar where there is a fine crop of grass good and tender. He don't have to feed poplar J leaves and grape vines. Mr. Bruce Yount has got his dwelling completed and is about ready to go to see the register for a pair of double harness.

A man without a coat, but with shirt, trousers, belt and shoes on is properly dressed to mingle in polite society; if he add suspen" ders to this outfit he is not de cently attired. Suspenders must be covered up by a coat. These rules are well known, but from time to time some man pestered by the heat and afraid to repudiate his galluses, defies the law and special rules have to be invoked against him, Why, pleads the alternated person. should galluses be anotbema? What is there inherent in the appearance of the gallas that can bring the blush of shame to the cheek of Modesty must needs be. in these days? The laws of gravitation have not been changed and the belt is a vain thing for safety, 7 The Charleston News and Courier reminds us that gallus is modern, new-fangled; but when did fashion frown upon a thing because of its newness? It points out that men still living in South Carolina remember the time when an attempt was made to disci pline no less a man than Bishop William Capers of the Methodist church for wearing suspenders the contention being that he set a bad example by a display o worldliness. Asheville Ga zette-News. )o( Big Crops. If the cotton crop throughout the entire belt were altogether as promising as it i: here in this part of the great cotton county of Robeson, there might be some justification for the prediction of a fourteen million bale crop. And if the corn crop in every locality in the State were as good as it is around Parkton and Lumber Bridge, it might well be considered a bjmper crop, Parkton Letter in Fayetteville Index, )o( FOLEYSKiDHEYPHlS Foa Backachc Kidneys and Bladdcs is in the City. 1 Cansler of Tirzah" is in the city. That may not mean much to the average North Carolinian but to those of his own State it carries a many a memory. They can recall when many years ago that unique and extraordinary figure rose, rough and uncouth from the wilds and came out with the assersion that some day he would be the railroad commis sioner for the state of South Carolina. His opponents laugh ed at him and he was then a laughing matter. But since then he has become a factor each year in the race for that office. They will all tell you that he is still a joke aut they all fear Cansler for they realize that he is the man that must be defeated. In the first election he went over the State with the other candidates and told his jokes to the amuse ment of the crowds, but no one took him seriously andwhen the ballots were counted Cansler of Tirzah had but few. He went back then to his little farm up in Yorkyille county where he has spent most of his life. Cansler is a bachelor and lives up there in a simple way on his farm with no one around him save a few faithful servants. No one heard anything of him until the next election. The men that were in the race hadn't even given him a thought. They had forgotten the old man when he had told them that he was going to run again and again until he was elected. But when this unique man appeared on the platform again as a candidate, for office he had profited by his experience of the time before and this time he had some wise things about railroads to mix in with his fine lot of jokes and his opponents began to note him, but still he was not a factor in t'ae race. He has run, no one save those who have counted can tell how many times, each race he gains strength until the last two elections he was in second place and in both cases was barely de feated. His opponents all say that he doesn't know enough to hold an office but you will note that now the fight is always the field against Cansler. The old man does not take this to heart, though; he just smiles at them, tells his funny stories, goes over the Stale as a candidate for the position of railroad commission- i . J - TT er, ana maKes more inecus, ne is going to be there and many say that he will in all probabil ity be elected. During the raceCansler is the loudest man of all the candidates. He even dresses in peculiar fash ion. During the last campaign he wore a soft black, silk skull cap with the name Cansler of Tirzah" in golden letters there on He had thousands .of cards printed with his name upon them and these he scattered broadcast over the State. He never misses a campaign date for any reason. The others may have busines elsewhere but the p.it.izpn from Tirzah has but one thing at a time and this is a I ways the campaign. When it is over and the other man has betn declared elected you don t even have a statemen from Cansler as to how the thing happened He just goes back home and don't say anything at all. He has never yet said anything about an opponent, he don't even answer their jibs at him save in a pleasant manner. He goes back home and you don't hear o him until the next campaign and then Cansler of Tirzah, in all o his glory, rises again, It is said that he is too busy with his farm making money enough to run again to talk much, He has no one in the world dependent on him and he is in politics solely for the pleasure that he gets out of it, He likes to know peopJe he likes to make friends and he likes the excitement of the whole thing. When he first came out he was not kriown outside of his own immediate community and now he is as well if not better known in the State than any other politician. When he hits a town people simply say "there's Cansler of Tirzah," and that means much said. He has been identified with every campaign in the last several years and as he says the people will finally elect him to get rid of him if for rotbingelse. Prediots That Drought Will Continue Into FalL Col. J. L. Ludlow has returned home from an extended trip to Columbus, Ga., where he had been in consultation with the board of commissioners of that city relative to securing new water supply and enlarging the water plant there. Colonel Ludlow predicts that the coming fall will be a con tinuation of the present drought. He states that books onhydraulics show that about every twenty years there is a 3 year period known as the twenty year low cycle in which the rainfall is very low. This period is shown as iar back as the records of rainfall in this country are pre served. This being the case, this sec tion and surrounding country may expect another dry year to follow this.
