Exactly the same thing that makes shoes cheap, and clothes cheap that is, the use of inferior material. If you get "stung" in the purchase of a suit of clothes, you can buy another one. If you get "stung" with cheap atod inferior fertili zer, you are permanently and incurably disabled for the year. You lose your labor and the proper income on the land. If one fertilizer analyzes 8-3-3, it isn't necessarily exactly lide another 8-3-3. There may be a difference in the availibity or solubility, just as there are differ ences in the digestibility of food. Some manufactu rers, who are striving for cheapness, may get their am monia from scrap leather or hair. The land can not properly digest such material and hence this sort of fer tilizer is cheap in name only. It is very expensive if it is the cause of your getting half a bale of cotton where you are entitled to a bale. It does not pay to take such chances- not if it takes a year out of your life.

The last legal hanging in the Old North State took place at Elizabeth- town at high noon today when Henry Spivey, colored, paid the death pen alty for the murder of his father-in-law, Frank Shaw, near Abbottsburg, this county, in the fall of 1908. Spivey was tried and convicted at the March term of court, 1909, and sentenced to be hanged on May 11th, following. He had been respited by the governor twice and had high hopes of further respite if not re prieve to life imprisonment. At his trial he had the services of nine at torneys and they have worked dili gently to Have his neck. Judge Adams, who tried the case, re fust d to sign a petition for life im prisonment; so did Solicitor Sine air, and only tv o of the trial jury would sign for a reprieve. Attended by Father Price, a Kal- eigh priest, the condemned man slept well during his last night on earth aud seemed inclined to be cheerful. : He remarked a day or so ago that he would not get all the worst of the banging because it would cure his indigestion, be being -eve rely afflicted with the same. Sin rift Clark has had his prisoner guarded closely day and night, know ing the character of his mail.

It was 10 msnutes before the attending physi ians pronounced the doomed man dead. Although Spivey had considerable property at the time of hi arrest and had handled thousands of dollars as a gambler, at which business he was an expert, his body was buried by the county authorities at the county poor farm, his wife refusing to have anything to do with it. The crowd dispersed in an orderly manner. JNo trouble was manifested or expected, though armed guards were in attendance.

ROBINSON & CAUDLE, Attorneys. All persons who teach school ought to try to perfect themselves ia those things that help make them compe tent instructors. One of the essential things is to have children learn to do things with their hands, and one of the easiest ways is to make pictures with a pencil. "Well, what good Is that," says some hard fisted fellow who has worked day in and day out to bring up the country to Its present state of prosperity. "He asks the question because he wants to know, and if an honest answer is given him and he sees the good of It he say , "Go ahead and try." - For he want the children to have every advantage, but be does not want money or tim thrown away. This is the secret ot all knowledge and success. First, to .be told how to do things. Generations ago that telling bad to be done by men whose business it was to recollect , Then came sign writing on stone and then on bark and then on paper, and then came the type and the printing press to rpcord successful experiences of the man and woman who had learned. - In order to learn how to talk prop erly the era ra mar was written and printed. Th'-n the keeping of accounts brought out the arithmetic. Then the wanting to know what the other parts of the world looked like brought out the genrgraphy. - Then the wanting to know how other people talked brought the Latin, French and German readers and grammars. So that is what our children have been and are being raughk First, the gram mer to teach him to say Those" instead of "Them" and not to say, "Where is John at." It is all right to leatn to talk properly, but 1 it does not make corn and potatoes. Second, the arithmetic to leirn how to figure up interest on money. That is all right, but the boy never has money saved up unless be is taught bow to do things. Third, the georgraphy to learn how the world looks, but that does not make, fifty bushels, of corn grow where ten bushels, have been growing. Fourth, the Latin grammar, but t hat does make sweet and nice butter that sells for thirty cents a pound, or chickens that are worth thirty cents apiece, and which are mighty good to eat. That is what our shools have given the children up to this time. But now the man who thinks nays "Let's teach the children something that is useful as well as those things that are ornamental." That Is what brought out the Instruetion in draw ing with a pencil. In this th child's eye and hand are brought into use as well as his brain. He is taught how to draw houses, factories, cattle, vege tables, and flowers, and as he draws thfse things his mind expands and his desire Is to have things develop. That is the secret. Next to making the thing is the making of the picture of the thing, whether it be home, fac tory, machine, vegetable or flower Therefore all teachers should know how to teach drawing with a lead pencil. For this reason the Messenger and Intelligencer is going to give to the teacher of the school whose children win the De Laval separator a free scholarship to the best summer art school in the United States. The making of good butter, is the most Important but next comes the draw ing. This scholarship is worth twenty five dollars. The school is at Booth bay Harbor, on the coast of Maine, one of the most beautiful spots intthe world; a spot that will give inspira tion to the person to try and to do. The teacher who goes to the art school comes in touch with the most talented teachers from all over the United states, who go there to learn more. The association with thesa teachers for six weeks or two months will be worth a great deal to the teacher who wants to learn. The art instructor in .pencil draw ing, Mr. A. G. Randall, is recognized the United States over as one of the most competent teachers in the coun try. He is employed during the school term as the director of manual art in the schools of Providence. R, I. His business there is to see that the art teachers teach correctly, Under him at Providence are several nunarea teacners. 'in is summer school at Boothbay Barbor is owned by Mr. Randall. He has as bis as sistants & number of the most noted teachers in American and foreign lands. He has instructors to teach painting in oil, modelling in clay, manual training, (that is the work ing in wood) and teachers who in struct in the artistic working metals, and other persons who in struct in (hose things that fit; the teachers to be more useful to the children. Prominent men give lect-j nres everv evening rlnrinor the, ?octr I are free to the students. " But to the pencil sketching,- which Lj the beet thing for our teachers to MaH In, Mr. Randall, the head of the Inelitution, gives his personal atten tion. This scholarship which we are giv ing', is transferable. If the teacher whose school wins does not want to, cr nnot go, he or she may transfer t -to any other teacher of Anson county, to be used this year. July 10th to August 30th, for the entire ime or a part of it. The expenses at Boothbay are very reasonable. Rooms can be had at one to two dollars a week, and par ties can do light housekeeping, get ting their owq meals, or they can get ttoard at four dollars and fifty cents a wk.. The cost ot going to, and re timing via Norfolk and Boston, Boothbay, all steamer route from Norfolk, will be less than fifty dol lars. The whole ernense will be lens i hau one hundred dollars. And, outside of the instruction, it will be ineoftbe most pleasant outings a teacher can have. This geographical lesson of seeing the ereat cities o! Boston, Mass., "Portland, Maine, Bath, the ship building town, and the ocean, bays, rivers, etc., of tht Eastern part of the United States, will be worth much to the teacher. ts more than the whole coat.

Among the seven woDder of the world was the famous statue, wholly made of bronze, historically known as the Colossus of Ithodes. It represented Phoebus, the national dei ty of the Ruodiaus. It was begun by Chares, a pupil of Lyslppus, the sculp tor, and was completed by Laches 2SS B. C. The popular belief Is that It stood astride the harbor of Rhodes, that It was 103 feet high aud that hips could easily sail between ita legs. Pliny said that few men could clasp Its thumb. It was cast on metal plates, afterward Joined together, and this process occupied twelve years. In the Interior was a spiral staircase reach ing into its head, and in a great mirror suspended to its neck were reflected the coast of Sfia and the ships sailing to Egypt- After It had stood for sixty-four years this colossus was overthrown by an earthquake, and its remains lay on the shore for 923 years that la, until A. D. 072 when they were sold by the Saraceus to a dealer. The original cost was 300 talents about $0,000,000 and It Is not too much to Bay that a similar Image might be constructed now lu one-fourth of the time and at one-third of the original cost Rhodes, by the way, must have had colossus on the bralu. for Pliny relates that the port was adorned with 1.000 colossal statues of the sua.
