Mr. Editor: In passing over the county we have arrived at tbe conclusion that bat few people realize the condition of tbe present cotton crop. They are ri--W to believe the damage the hot wave of three weeks ago did tbe crop. Tbe damage, however, waa done, whether they see it or not. But that done by hot winds was by no means all the damage the crop sustained. Every year we have some enemy that preys opon the crop. We have the boll worm, some insect that punctures the squares (or shapep) and causes more or less damage every year. But this year we have a new enemy in the shape of the red spider, which has seriously damaged the crop in certain sections. I found the most damage from this pest in Gulledge town ship in and around Cason'sOld Field. Jim Griggs, I think, sustained as much damage according to acreage as any other one. We do not need the boll weevil to destroy the cotton crop. Other enemies are equally as daiiaging. 1 have never given my self much eon. -em about the weevil, but have concerned myself about the enemies we have here already. IIow to combat them successfully is the problem confronting us. Rigid rota tion, I think, is our orly re uedy, and it that fails we are at sea, without a rudder. This red spider is a new enemy, and dees his work about as completely as the d.eaded weevil, es pecially it he attact the crop early enough. " ''"; - Well, Wat, when did you cotton buyers get your consent to allow us farmers to put on 6 per cent of bag ging and ties, and not kick unless we put on-more than the tare, viz, 30 pounds on a 500 pound bale and 42 pounds on a 700 pound bait? As farmers wehave tried to be honest, and would sever have resorted to questionable methods had you fellows treated us half way right. The Bible says restore fourfold. If you fellows will do that you will have- nothing left. How many dollars did we have taken from us on account of an arbi trary ruling you; fellows put into ef fect, , docking every bale $1 if it "weighed one pound less " than 400 pounds, when 350 pounds was the commercial bale, and docking two pounds for every bale having side strips on? I bet a nickel against a brownie that if we carried our cotton to the factory in shtets and took off the weight ot the sheets, giving noth ing but net cotton, they would dock us in price. I bad a friend who sold a remnant of 200 pounds in sheets, and he lacked 50 cents per cwtof get ting as much for it as he did for-that in balea.f hebujer simply took ad vantage of the seller and got $1 and what would have "been the tare on the 200 pounds. Noj you have not acted square with us, but we promise not to put on more than the 6 per ent, but we will promise no further. Ve do not care whether Mr. Sprunt uts a buyer in our market or not. understand that he allows only 22 ounds of bagging and ties put on a aie. lie is reaay to nich the re minder of the tare from the poor rmer. ' But there are other men ho tiuy who are'willing to be hon- t and allow whatare the pressers cotton deduct in levying prices. ir farmers are being educated as to eir rights, and you had as well be a to see things as they are and cut ur" bagging accordingly. Yours for a . square deal, Little Brown Creek. Beea Democratic Landallda. ton Dispatch, 15th. 'As Maine went, so Massachu- V New Hampshire, Connecticut, de island and New York will ' said Eugene N.

' The grand Jury dravn to serve at September term of court finished its work late Friday afternoon, and was discharged after mtking tbe follow ing report: To the Aonorable W. K. Allen, Judge presiding: ' We, the Grand Jury at the September term, 1910, of the criminal court for Anson comity, respectfully submit to your Honor our report as follows: We have examined into and acted upon all bills that have come into oar hands from the State's counsel, except In cass where witnesses could not be had, and where witnesses could not be had tbe cases were marked "continued." We have investigated reports of Mayors and Justices uf the Peace, and all other matters that have been brought to our attention. We have examined and inspected the jail, convict camp, - county home, court house, and offices of fhe Clerk of Court, Register of Deeds, and Treasurer, and submit the following: -, J Alt. We find the jail in as good condition as is possible under the circumstances. Upon examination the prisoners state that they are well fed and well treated. -CONVICT CAMP. We find the convict camp in excellent condition, convicts welt fed, well clothed, kindly treated and reasonbly wo rked There are no sick UL the camp. ' COUNTY HOME. We find the county home to be in splen did condition, clean and nicely kept, and the inmates well clothed and well fed. We feel justly proud of our county home, and appreciate the fact that your Honor made a visit there. . OFEICE OF CLERK OF COURT. We found the books and office of the Clurk of the Court to be kr pt in the best of condition. The books are kept neatly and in a business-like manner. The office is as neat and clean as 13 possible under the circumstances, the office being too small for the transaction of the large and increasing business that c mes before the Clerk. .... OFFICE OF REGISTER OP DEEDS-, . We found the office a-d Books of the Register of Deeds in first-class condition. The books are in snUndid condition, and the newP system, of keeping the records is a great imp-ovement over the old sys tem. '; TREASURER'S OFFICE. We find the office and books of the Treasurer in excellent condition, and kept in the pVoper manner. RECOMMENDATIONS. We recommend that the mantels and steps at the county home, and' especially tbe steps, be repaired at once. Also that the leaks in the roof be looked into promptly. ; We recommend that the vaults in the offices of Clerk of Court aqd Register of Deeds be examined by an expert as to whether or not thfy are fire-proof, as we find the only filing systems" to:"be wood, and we fear the records of the county are not safe in case of fire. 'Any way we rec ommend that some safety filing device, and one which can be easily removed, be Installed at once. ;" " The Clerk's office is very poorly furnished and we recommend that some more suita ble office furniture be placedythere instead of the old. We desire to call special attention to our court house, which is simply, to say the feast, far short of the needs of our county. The court room is far too small to serve its purpose, and the offices are not near large enough to transact the business, and to store the records which are constantly increasing and accumulat ing. Weieel it our duty to recommend, as former grand juries have recommended that we have a new court house, one that is modern and that will be a credit to onr county .v The county now owns probably three fourths of one of the most valuable business blocks in Wadesboro, and from all this valuable property it receives al most no returns, as far as we know. We feel satisfied that a great change for tbe bitter can be made, and probably without any cost to the tax payers of the county. In the mean time we recommend that our present court house be scoured out, cleaned up, disinfected, and made as safe and comfortable as possible, especially tbe c:urt room. J. A.

Reared in the school of construction of our Constitution which the ad vanced patriots of tho Revolution maintained and abided, we raise the signal and sound alarm in the presence of a new departure in interpretation which is to prove more thorough than any heretofore begotten in peace. It lies In the new theory of the duty of tbe general government and its plenary power to conserve everything of utility in public or private service. It is disturbing, dangerous and. with out precedent. It is in the gronp of powers according to Congress the power to do anything not expressly forbidden by the Constitution. It embraces the po er to take over from the local authorities the repairs now prosecuted in this town upon the streets; the power to drain every branch, creek, lagoon or water hole with subterranean discharge and con nection. All these powers are in the domain of the States, wholly apart from the domain of the United States. The power of Congress to deal with bod ies of water by repairs or otherwise is bounded, demarcated and done to East, WtsV North and South by navigability ebb and flow of the tide it used to be, but now time and tide, which wait tor no man, have taken purview of Congress. We are in the most dangerous as sumption ever entered. (To be continued.) t ears Killing Hog In tbe Mountain. Linvilie Falls Dispatch to the Charlotte Observer. The depredations of the bears are Jjtxciting the liveliest interest among the mountaineers these days. Last week fourteen hogs were killed on Gingercake mountain across r Lin vilie river and about .four miles be low this place. The owner of the hogs, Uncle Bin Aldridge, thinks he is ha vine to furnish more than his share of bear feed, for he lo9t nine hogs in the same manner last spring, and others are missing. Several wildcats have been killed or captured within a few miles of this place. The bob cats seek to fat- n themselves on young chickens, and it must be admitted that they ar? successful, much offener than the hunters are in tacking their skins on the barn to dry. Some boys, aided by dogs, caught a young cat alive on Linvilie mountain a few days ago. Editor Jaltaa Dlea of Pellagra. . Salisbury Dispalch, 16th. John M.

Death Sentence Held Up Until Fright ened Prisoner Recovers. Greenville, S. C. Dispatch.

" 'ill (A M'CORMICK CORN BI NDER would soon pay for itself on any two-horse farm if you would give it a trial. You are now busy with the cotton: mules standing in stable, doing nothing; fodder and corn need pulling; labor scarce One man, two mules and a corn binder will pull fodder, and corn if you have pea vines or grass in the row, it will cut these for you and bind up with the corn in bundles. When your corn is shredded you will have more feed than ever before. This kind of farming will stop so much .Western hay coming to this section. Come, let us "negotiate", with you, and when the corn is off and fall plowing is ready don't tickle the earth, that produces you a living, by scratching the soil a few inches dtep with a scooter stock. Buy a Good, Heavy GmtmJooga Disc Plow i Put two, three, or four mules to it, get up on it I .... and ride. Turn the soil good and deep and it will yield a rich harvest. A disc plow does not slide over the bottom of furroyvs and form a hard pan, as the mold board plow does, but it acts as a disc plow in turning the soil, as a disc harrow in pul verizing it, and as a subsoil plow as it cuts down through the hard pan that has been formed by the "ironing" of the landside on your 2 horse plows.
