Printed twice a wcfk, and-entered as fxx-ond class matter, December 6, 1909, at the post office at Wadesboro, N. C., under t ce Act of March 3, lbra. The appointment by President Taft of Uovernor Charles E. Hughes, of N.w York, to fill the vacancy ou the Suprema Court bench caused by the death of Justice Brewer, gives, great satisfaction ail over the coun try. Governor Hughes is a Republi can in politics but since he has been chief executive of the Empire State he has demonstrated time and again that he is the , toe of graft of every description and the steadfast promo ter of honest government. ' The sudden death, Tuesday, at his home in Fremont, of Corporation Commissioner B. F. Aycock, will be greatly regretted throughout the State. Mr. Aycock, who was a brother of ex-Governor Charles B. Aycock, until incapacitated by poor health, was making a fine record as a conscientious and painstaking officer, and had he lived he would doubtless have become a great force for good as a member of the Corporation Com mission. His death' was due to heart disease. Attorney General Bickett has giv en it as his opinion that as May first ""taljs on Sunday this year persons who. . pay their poinax'dr'MeBdayfthe 2nd day of the month, will be enti tled to vote. This decission gives persons whose disposition it is to put : on things until the last minute one more day to procrastinate in, - and they will likely take advantage of it. However, those who like to be on tune should not postpone this im portant duty later than Saturday, as sickness or some accident may in terfere and prevent the payment of the tax on Monday. LOCAL TAXATION IN POLKTON NextSaturday, our people will have the opportunity to place themselves in line with the people of those sec tions ot our great country where rqual and adequate education! 1 facil ities are in reach of every child of school age. For many years North Carolina, intellectually, ranked with the lowest iu the sisterhood of States. Within the last decade,almost a revo lution in intellectual development has hen effected. The growth of educa tional sentiment has been remarkable. "Itip Van Winkle" no longer sleeps. Thousands of special tax districts have been established. Thousands more will fell into line before the year ends. Will Polkton still sleep even Dr. S. A. Kaapp, af taa V. 8. Depart- ; neat af Agrtealtara KikM Yalaaala Sagjceatlaaa to Ptrmtnff tattaatk. W'ashihgton; D. C, April 15. The most important item in ag ricultural improvement i3 the deep and thorough preparation of the soil in time to become settled by the win ter raics, then there should be a cul tivation occasionally with disk or harrow, during the winter to give the soil air and prepare it for future rapid production. This winter culti vation, of course, is omitted if there is a winter tver crop. The next important item is the use of the section harrow. Harrow land just before planting and again im mediately alter planting, then after the plants are up, and some farmers continue harrowing until the cotton or corn is six inches high. The har- row-is generally run diagonally across the rows. The principal things that are ac complished ty harrowing are: 1. The breaking of the crust which is formed by allowing the soil to be undisturbed. The crust shuts ont the air from the roots and tends to stunt the young p!ant3. 2. Harrowing airs the soil and no soil can prepare plant food and do its work unless air is admitted. 3. It breaks the pores of the soil so that it conserves moisture and prevents too rapid evaporation. 4. Where the plants are too thick for the final stand as is the case where a bushel of seed is used to plant an acre, by going across the rows it thins the plants to a certain extent, not quite.-' enough, but if properly done it reduces the work of chopping about two-thirds. 5. It prunes the rocts of the plants.. 'Under the ordinary method ol cultivation the ro its of young corn and cotton plants are only pruned on the sides, but this cross harrowing makes a complete pruning of - the roots, and the tendency of complete pruning is to make a lower and thicker plant stem, and throw fruit limbs, in case of cotton, nenrer the earth. Possibly no single sugges tiop made by us to the Southern farmers is more important 'than the use of the section harrow. As soon as we di?pense with the harrow, then cultivate lengthwise of the rows, running the implement first time rather deep so as to give a side pruning to the roots, also at this time work the middles as deep as convenient. After this first deep cultivation all future cultivation should be very shallow, not more than oue and one-half inches so as to give the roots as large a space for de velopment as possible, so as not to cut off the little feeders which come close to the surface. Thi3 shallow i Tea Klrpaaats Tarrarlxa llllaals City, I rml Dlaaater la Their Path. Savarar Parsoaa Aralajaraa aad Pre- Danville, 111., April 27. Several persons were iDjured and much prop erty was damaged today by nine ele phants that sUmpeded, just after they had been unloaded from, a car al ter several hours ride from Chicago, A large bull elephant madea break for liberty, bowling over the keeper onH fx nine. The animal was fol- f D- lowed by seveD other bulls which ran bellowing through the streets and across fields. Later, while the entire force of trainers and keepers was en gaged in the unusual sport of hunting oionhnnfa in automobiles, a female V.fauw ' elephant escaped. For several hours the elephants were at large, hunted by all the at taches of the circu3, the city police men and the more venturesome citi zens. The elephants at first moved in a bunch, then separated. They stopped for nothing except brick and stone buildings. Such small frame structures as coal sheds, fences and trees as came in their path were push ed over, trodden down, uprooted and thrown to one aide. . At the home of William Miller, 3 elephants found insufficient room to pass between the summer kitchen and house so they pushed the kitchen aside, frightening the persons therein from the table but injuring no one. At the home of Joseph Peebles, after overturning a. shed and killing a the animals attacked uut en-) Peebles and hurled him against the side of his house. Peebles is in a crit ical condition. Barney O'Neal, liv- m I-. Im mo rrnn eryman, was mrowu itum u e," by the elephants as they dasnea aown a side street in front of his team. F . Krabbe, one of the keepers, while as sisting in stabling three of the bulls after their capture, was hurled against the side of a barn and injured. Sev eral other persons were slightly in jured, mostly because of horses fright ened by the pachyderms througn weir own fright during the stampede. More than one hundred homes were damaged to some extent by the ele phants but the total loss will probably not exceed $10,000. Several truck gardens and ochards were partly ruined in the outskirts of the city while many shade trees were broken or uprooted. One elephant was still at large to night. NEAR BEER DEALER FINED.

Another case against Mr. Fort, for the same offence, will come up for trial next Monday. It is reported that the facts in the case which will be tried Monoay are much stronger than in the case in which Fort was today convicted. Allmon Davis will be tried on Monday for violating the prohibition law. . LILESVTLLE AND WALLTOWN. j .(5 f) - after "Rip" bs aroused himself aadi(.ultivation can done most ra pidly is striding on? The New England .Puritans, driv en from the old world by relentless persecutions, built a public school house almost before their first log cab in was finished. From the New Eng land public schools came men like Daniel Webster, Horace Mann and. Dr. Charles E. Elliot. The pioneers to the great west carried with them the same broad educational ideas. These ideas are today embedded in the constitutions of nearly every state north of the Ohio and west of the Mississippi. The material and in tellectual development of these states isunparallelled in the world's history. Their people are educational enthu3i asts. From their public schools come leaders and statesmen like Gov. John A. Johnson, of Minnesota, and Sena tor B. M. LaFollette, of Wisconsin. Their voters ring true at every cri sis." They go to the polls, "una wed by power, unbought by gain." The rural districts are dotted with homes that are gems of loveliness and beau ty. Betterment associations, with out organization, exist every where. ' The hand and brain of educated men and women have wrought so skillful ly, until mountains and plains, des erts and prairies, like the garden of ' Eden, are made to send back an an ewering smile to the twinkling stars Ask those people if they believe in public schools and special taxation, and they will be amazed at the ques tion. Their history is sufficient an swer. The educational amendment in our State constitution has not yet been rigidly enforced, A change in pollt leal conditions may be a calamity tr- , many a young man. It - is impossi ble for the majority of our boys to meet the strict requirements of tht amendment iu the crowded condition of our schools and our annual term oi less than four months. Do we love dollars more than men?. Oh! I should not be taxed for the benefit of some body else's children, crie9 the man .void of public spirit and humanity My friend, our ancestors talked not thus in the centuries that have pass ed4nto history. Young men in their teens, fathers in the prime of life, old I X . i 1 ' a a " men Do.wea wun meir tnree score years and ten, took their places on the "firing line" and bared tbeii breasts to the storm of battle that bu man liberty might be something more than a dream. We have re eponsbilities resting on us. One them is to help the children of th . present generation equip themselves for the duties ot life. We can at leas keep open the way up which thej must go. Trie crisis is upon us. Sat urday's result will bring us -either honor or humiliation. ... .. "Now shriek the timid But flrji stand the brave." Progress. by the use of a weeder, but if the farmer has no weeder a sweep is much better than a sparp-tooth cultivator. Flowing three inches deep and culti vating about the same depth has been the cause of a loss to Southern formers amounting to billions of dol lars. - It is unnecessary to enter into any discussion on this point because it is so easy for each farmer to test it ou a small scale and" prove its value to his own satisfaction. Finally, in thease of cotton continue cultiva tion just .as long ; as possible under boll weevil conditions. It is well to continue the cultivation until some of the bolls begin to open, and where there are no weeviis it will increase the crop quite a little because the plants will continue to put on forms more rapidly under frequent cultiva tion. Cultivation should be from seven to ten days apart, depending upon the weather. I prefer seven days if possible. Last year in the-states of Louisiana and Mississippi very little cotton was made up to the first of July because there was so much rain that the far mers could not get into their fields to cultivate their crops, and in boll weevil territory the weevil practical ly punctured everything up to that time, but thousands of farmers mad 3 a fair crop by continuing their culti vation during Jnly and part of Au gust. In some cases they made as high as J of a bale per acre, utterly aisproving tne statements that we should lay by the crop early in July because the boll weevil will take all the bloom after that time. Let it be distinctly understood that late cultivation applies also to corn. We are in too great haste to lay corn by. Cultivation should be continued as late as. possible. xThis late, cul tivation will increase the fruitage. These plans have been so thorough-ly-.tested and under such a variety of conditions that we unhesitatingly ask the farmers of the South to "giv them trial and , you will be largely benefited if you adopt them at once. - - -' Sincerely yours, " ; J S.

Thl Fact that in addressing Mrs. Pinkham you are con. fiding your private ills to a woman a woman whoSb' ex perience with women's diseases covers twenty-fee years. ' The present Mrs. Pinkham, daughter-in-law of Lydia E. Pinkham, was for years under her direction, and has ever since her decease continued to advise women. Many women suffer in silence and drift along from bad to worse, knowing well that they ought to have immediate assistance, but a natural modesty causes them to shrink from exposing themselves to the questions and probable examinations of even their family physician.- Such ques tioning and examination is unnecessary. WithoHat cost you' can consult a woman whose knowledge from actuat experience is great. MRS. PINKHAM'S STANDING INVITATION: Women suffering from any form of female weakness are in vited to promptly communicate with Mrs. Pinkham at Lynn, Mass. All letters are received, opened, read and answered by women. A woman can freely talkof her private illness to a woman ? thus has been established this confidence between Mrs. Pinkham and the women of America which has never been broken. Never has she published a testi monial cr used a letter without the written consent of the writer, and never has the company allowed these confi dential letters to get out cf their possession, as the hun dreds of thousarris of them in their files will attest. Out of the vast volume of experience which Mrs. Pink ham has to draw from, it is more than possible that she has gained the very knowledge needed in your case. She asks nothing in return except your good will, and her advice has helped thousands. Surely any woman, rich or poor, should be glad to take advantage of this generous offer of assistance.
