The annual meeting of the di rectors of the Farmers Mutual Fire Insurance Association of North Carolina was held in Raleidi Jan. 19th. The State Association is composed of twen tv-two county branches, with a membership of 11,000, farmers, Reports7 from every branch showed growth and increased confidence in the association and the State directors are so much impressed with the benefits of the Association to the farmer that a special effort will be made to extend the organization into e very county in the State. In this connection it might be encouag ing to the members of the Ran dolph county branch to say that this branch stands at the head of the list both in membership and amount of insurance in force Of the twenty-two county branches Randolph has one eleventh of the entire member ship and insurance in force. The Farmers Mutual is the best institution for the farmer in the county. It saves the farmers thousands of dollars on insur ance every year and at the same time gives them protcection equal to the best. The President, the Board of Directors, the agents and mem bers of Randolph branch are workinar harmoniusly together for the upbuilding' of the Asso ciation and the result of their labors is shown in its present prosperous condition. The Mutual Fire Insurance Asso cfation of Randolph county is wel worthy of the great success it is achieving. A Washington Dispatch to the News and Observer says that the president has withdrawn J. M Burrow's nomination as post master here because he is per sonalJyQbiectionable to several of Asheboro's LEADING citi zens. Shades of Dioaones and Judas Iscariot ! Leading citizens. indeed ! Is the court house ring the leading citizen of Ashboro? If so, then Mr. Burrow is surely personally objectionable. Is the boss of the democratic party in Randolph county the LEADING citizen of Asheboro? If so, then. Mr. Burrow pleads guilty of be ing personally objectionable. Is the great majority of the patrons of the office and business men of the town the LEADING citizen? If so, then Mr. Burrows is NOT personally or officially objection able. But this dispatch confirms just what we have suspected al the time, namely, that the oppo sition can find no moral or officia fault with Mr. Burrows, and the whole fight is now to be made on "personally objectionable" to some leading citizens! We would like to see this bunch of "leading citizens" and have 'em stand up while counted. THE LAW OF KINDNESS. What a beautiful world this wjould be, if all men but followed the lav of kindness. As men, we should be the apostles of sunshine, the disci ples of love, the messengers of good will. To meet and greet our fellows with a smile upon our faces and a word of cheer upon our lips would cost nothing and would mean much. Let us be especially kind to childhood and old age. "Honor the hoary head", is truly a di vine command, and as to the children, of such is the king dom of Heaven." une wno is Kina to tne aged and to the little ones, cannot be wholly bad. Whatever his faults somewhere in his heart the di vine spark is surely glowing. Let us each day perform some act of kindness, be it ever so small and bring sunshine into some lonely life, or cheer some desolate heart. Thus will we 1 1 it j grandly illustrate one oi our noblest teachings. Ex, TAFT AND THE SOUTH. Mr. Taft, with his party, em barked at Charleston yesterday morning for his trip to Panama on the armored cruiser North Carolina, a giant vessel of 14,500- ons displacemt and with a mean draft of more than twenty-five feet. The cruiser steamed over the bar into the Charleston har bor with over four feet of water under her keel. It had been pre dicted by a number of persons who professed to know that there was not enough water in the har bor to float the North Carolina. But Mr. Taft wrote to a friend in Charleston that he intended coming to your old town, and I am going aboard if I have to float out on a raft." That letter gave great satisiaction to tne Charleston people. Mr. Taft did not have to float out to the cruis er on a raft. The-visit of Mr. Taft to the South has seemed to be mainly for pleasure and recreation. He played golf, went to dinners and received the people who came to him. Nevertheless, the sojourn in the South has had a serious import. Mr. Taft has learned something about the Southern perple which perhaps none of his predecessors in more than fifty years had known as well. He has gotten close to them, and they seem to like him. The Charles ton News and Courier, one of the most thoroughly representa tive papers of the South, declares that there is no place where Mr. Taft is more highly esteem ed than in Charleston, and no place where he has so many really sincere friends. Our Charl eston contemporary adds: "We are morally certain that he will come nearer being the President of the whole country than any Republican who could have been elected. He is better equipped for the office than any man who has been elected in the last fifty years." If Mr. Taft had been the can aiaate wno nau received every vote in Georgia and South Caro lina, he could not have been more cordially received by the good people of those States. Through out his stay in the South he has been promoting good feeling. He has made the people he met real ize, as probably no other Repub lican statesman has done with equal success, that they are as much a part and parcel of the government or tne common country as the citizens of any other section. Mr. Taft's trip to Panama is on serious business. Guided by tne advice or tne eminent engi neers who accompany him, Mr, Taft may, perhaps, reach a defi nite conclusion as to whether the plan of the Panama canal should be changed from a lock canal as required by existing law, to a tide-level canal, which will be more expensive, but which may be considerd necessary.

DEATH OF A. A. STEED. One of Randieman' Oldest and Most Honored Citizens Passes Away. "Friend after friend departs, Who has r.ot lost a friend?" A. A. Steed was born October 18, 1832, and died Jan. 22, 1909, aged 76 years and 3 months. Deceased was one of the pi oneers of Randieman, having settled here about 1872, and since that time has been deeply interested in the progress of the town. In all forward movements he was in the forefront. Of quiet disposition and affable manners, he was not loud and boastful, but made his influence felt in that firmness which only a quiet but fixed life can do. Bro. Steed was a member of Saint Paul's M. E. Church and an honored member of its quar terly .conference. He will be missed in his place in the church and community, but his memory will be cherished by his breth ren and friends who loved him. He was kind and gentle in his home but firm. His wife and four of his ten children survive him. Two sons, Messrs. Chas. N. and A. J. Steed, hold honored and responsible positions, the former being superintendent of the Highland Park Cotton Mill of Rock Hill, S. C, the latter general manager of a large lumber company at Maxton, N. C. Sweet be thy sleep, brother, until He who said, "I am the resurrection and life," bid thee come to thy reward. A Friend. TO MANY ACRES. A ride on the cars through al most any section of the country forces the conclusion that the chief trouble with the type of farming which is being quite generally followed is that land owners are putting half as much labor as they ought to on twice as much land as they can work. In almost every section is to be seen the pitiful evidence that the land is being tilled in a slip shod manner, evidenced by an omnipresent growth of weeds and all too meager crop returns. The tilling of too much land to handle discourages the most pro fitable kind of stock raising and dairying, increases the problem of farm held in the house and outside and makes a drudgery of a type of life that at its best, with modern conveniences and machinery, ought not to be op presive or unenjoyable. It is patent from more points of view than one that prosperity as well as the peace of mind and happi ness of a large per cent of the agriculture population- in the United States would be found in larger measures, than is true today were there a better and more thorough working of fewer acres of land. Ex. A Dog Swap. Here is a pretty good one: It is told that two farmers whom we will call No 1 and No 2 living within a radius of less than 50 miles from Asheboro, decided to exchange dogs, and finally agreed to make the trade provided No 1 would pay No 2 five dollars too boot. But as No 1 didn't have the ready cash, he covenanted with No 2 to give his note, se cured by mortgage on his only cow. The offer was accepted and now the poor cow is burden ed by a doggon mortgage of five dollars.
