Moore out at Gilreath, Saturday, in which Mr. W. A. Childers was the plaintiff and Messrs. Calloway and, Robert Campbell were the defendants. The facts brought out were some thing after this manner: Mr. Childers has an adjunct to his barnyard, a calf which is proba bly worth a full round dollar. This calf is possessed of a good appetite and a special liking'for fodder. One day recently it moseyed over to the farm of the Messrs. Campbell to pay a visit and showed its appreciation of the hospitality extended to it while the . r, by eating a hole into a fodder stack and devouring and destroying about 75 bundles of fodder. Mr. Campbell saw the calf laboriously engaged in the work of devastating the fod der stack and, slipping up be hind it, s-.ized the calf by the tail. The calf was at that mo ment musing over its happy state and was contentedly en gaged in switching its tail from one side to the other to -drive away imaginary flies. It did not understand the sudden interrup tion of the musical motion of its nether appendage and, as it sud denly turned and started for home, Mr. Campbell's hand-hold slipped. Not to be outdone Mr. Campbell, who is pretty fleet on bot, started after the culprit and ran it home. The calf did not stop there, as its pursuer was a little too close for comfort; and neither did Mr. Campbell stop until he had placed his hands securely again upon that part of the calf which he had ately turned loose. Mr. Camp bell took the calf back to his home and sold it to pay for the damage to his fodder stack and o his temper. ' Mr. Childers brought suit against Mr. Camp bell contending that when the calf's tail passed over the boun dary line between the two farms that Mr. Campbell's possession, which he had involuntarily re- inquished, then and there ceas ed. The court after due deliber ation decided against Mr. Chil ders and the calf, but an appeal vv as taken to the Superior court. About 50 witnesses and equal number of spectators were pres ent Wilkes patriot. Horse Objects to Shoeing. The Elkin Livery Company took a horse to Bowies' shop last week to be shod. The horse re belled against the proceedure and they put him in stocks in order that Mr. Bate3, the black smith, could the more easilv handle him. When the shoeing operation began the horsa squat ted and backed under a cross piece at che rear of the stocks and then tried to rise. In doing so he hurt himself so badly in the hips ind back that there was ho hope r.,hat he could ever get well, ana some time next day, to relieve the animal of its suf fering, he was shot.-Elkin Times. :' ; Won't Need A Crutch. , When Editor.

KilT gore, Chemist of the North Caro lina Department of Agriculture, and Mr. W. E. Hearn, of the Bureau of Soils, U. S. Depart ment of Agriculture, who has charge of the co-operative soil survey work in the State of North Carolina. Mr. Hearn will proceed to Raleigh at an early date in order to discuss with Dr. Kilgore the location of additional field experiments upon the most important soil types which have been shown by the soil survey to exist in the different portions of North Carolina. The soil condi tions in various counties will be discussed and Mr. Hearn will render every assistance possible m the selection of ddit;.onal areas for field experiments with different classes of fertilizers in the production of the most im portant staple crops produced in the different sections of the State. Soon after the first of March the soil survey work will be re sumed in Mecklenburg and Granville counties, North Caro lina, and it is anticipated that the field work of the soil sur veys of these two areas will be completed about July 1st. Arrangements have been made whereby it is anticipated that an additional party will be plac ed in North Carolina after the 1st of July, and through this ar rangement two or thre: addition al counties can be begun about that date. It is probable that one of the parties will be assign ed to Cabarrus County and that one of the other parties will be located in the eastern central portion of the State. Witn the additional facilities it is probable that about 3,000 square miles can be covered by the soil survey work during 1910. ANTI-CUSS SOCIETIES. The Lenoir News learns that societies are being formed in that mountain city to discourage the habit of swearing. Says the News: We understand that an effort is being made at some of the manufacturing plants about t-wn to organize "No Cursing" or Anti profanity Clubs. The plan suggested is, for - all the hands and management to agree to pay a fine of five cents for every oath or profane word spoken, the money to be placed by the entire force and kept as a fund to aid any operative, who might in any way become disabled for work. To have to pay five cents for every, profane word used, will have a tendency to stop so much cursing which is simply appall ing at some places where men are employed. The habit is IT I most; siniui ana worse tnan use less and frequently boys who never - heard such language at the homes of their parents get into the habit of cursing by associating with thoughtless men at the factories or manu-. facturing plants about, town. We trust this undertaking 'will work a reform; managers should encourage it and every hand should join, for the fund accumu lated from the.fines would be of much service to the man who by accident or sickness, is laid off from work for a few da y s or weeks. .

When he arrived at the . pearly gates he said to St. Peter: "Well, I'm here." St. Peter asked his name. "John Evans," was the reply. St. Peter looked through the book and shook his head. "You don't belong here," said the good St. Peter. "But I'm sure I belong here," said the man. "Wait a minute," said St. Pe ter. He looked again and in the back cf the book found the name. "Sure, " said the guardian of the gate, "you belong here, but you were not expected for 20 years. Who's your 'doctor?' ' 77V - American Push.
