OUR RALEIGH LETTER.
The Dairy Industry of the United
States.
Raleiirh. Julv 9th-The Wake
County Democratic Convention
met in the Court house in Raleigh
on Saturday last. Though her
alded as the militant democracy
of Wake und reported in the col
umns of the News & Observer
as the 4 'unterrified Democracy"
of the metropolitan County of
the State, it was apparent to all
on-lookers that something had
come over the spirit of the dream
af the dominant party. Occas
ional hand-clapping was the ex
tent of applause; not a cheer was
heard, and old time enthusiasm
was entirely lacking. When one
of the defeated office holders was
asked why the Convention was
so tame and so lacking in en
thusiasm his answer was "Did
you ever hear of being struck
dumb with enthusiasm? This is
a sample of it." -
Hon. Armistead Jones, Chair
man of the Democratic Executive
Committee, called the Conven
tion to order, stated the business
to come before the Convention,
but nowhere in his remarks did
he make any reference to a un
ited party or the hope of success
and victory in the coming election.
Hon. R. W. Winston was made
According to the last year book
of the Department of Agricul
ture, there are 21,720,000 milch
cows in the United States, and
these are worth $702,945,000.00.
The magnitude of the industry
can perhaps be best understood
when it is considered that these
cows produce yearly about
$1,000,000,000.00 worth of dairy
products.
There is no other branch of
diversified agriculture so impor
tant to the progress of a commun
ity. The fertility of the soil can
best be maintained by the 1 iberal
use of barnyard manure and the
dairy herd not only makes this
possible, but dairying is also
more remunerative than other
branches of farming when pro
perly carried on.
Dairying eas made wonderful
progress since the advent of the
modern creamery and the con
sumer of butter has not only been
benefitted by being furnished a
more wholesome and palatable
article of food, but the wife, in

is a chorus of voices in the Dem
ocratic camp demanding that the
Republican party put out a good
ticket and these Democrats prom
ise to support the Republican
ticket from top to bottom. So
bitter was the fight waged by
Daniels and Bailey that the good
women of Raleigh were disgust-
'ed, though heretofore Demo
cratic supporters, and they are
now urging Republicans to nom
inate a winning ticket and ad
minister a rebuke to those who
made use of such disgraceful
campaign methods.
"The first wealth is health,
is a profound saying, whose
truth is so apparent that it - does
not halt the. imagination long
enough to permit of complete
assimilation.
Progress is initiated by quality
rather than by quantity of
thought. Originality is the
made-to-order suit of a mind
that won't wear second-hand
stuff, and invention is the head
light of progress. These quali
ties of thought are attained only !
when the mind reaches full de
velopment, and mature develop
ment depends upon perfect
health. A nation or a State
whose average mind has the
highest content of these qualities
is the most' progressive nation.
Backward nations China, for
example arz characterized by
an absence of modern inventions.
Financial, social, and intellectual
advancement are conditioned ul
timately on health. The value
of health is the value of man.
And what is the value of the
average man? Man, like any
other, animal like the sheep, or
cow, or horse has an economic
value. A half century ago men
capable of furnishing only-the
cheapest labor unskilled labor
were bought and sold at from
$750 to $1,000 apiece. The av
erage immigrant pays taxes, and
produces property o n which
others pay taxes, thereby increas
ing the Goveroment's revenue to
the extent of an amount equal
to the interest on a principal of
$875. The value, therefore, of
the newly landed immigrant is
$875. Experts on fixing values,
basing their estimates on statis
tics applying to hundreds of
thousands of individual lives,
have found that the average
American produces $2,900 more
than he consumes. The vital as
sets of the United States would
be 85,000,000 lives x $2,900, the
value of each, or $250,000,000,000
The menerial wealth of our coun
ty, estimated by a Government
expert, amounts to $108,t000,000
000. But, "Is not the body more
than raiment, and life more than
meat?" Man is more than an
animal: man has. in addition to
his economic value' a higher val

COURT CALENDAR.
Large Number of Friends and Neighbors
Meet and Enjoy the Day.
On July 2d 1910, a large num
ber of the friends and neighbors
of . William Thayer met to cele
brate his fifty ninth birthday.
Mr. Thayer is one of Tabernacle's
best farmers and saw mill men.
The crowd began to gather
about 10 o'clock and continued
coming till noon. After seeing
such a concourse of people and
so many baskets and boxes of
fine things to eat, a table was
prepared 50 feet long, Two large
silver maples furnished the
shade for the crowd. The table
was spread with all kinds of
good things to eat, a fine chair
was elevated on a large box at
the head of the table and Mr.
Thayer was placed in it by his
friends.
At a tap of the farm bell the
people marched to the table, the
ladies in line on one side and the
men on the otner. Kev. JiiVens
Hunt returned thanks to the
Lord for the bountiful supply
while the heads of all the peo
ple were bowed, then every
body were made welcome and
one hundred and twenty-eight
people were filled and plenty left.
Dinner being over Mr. Hunt and
W. H. Lawrence called the ladies
in line on one side of the table
and the gentlemen on the other
side. Mr. Hunt numbered the
ladies 68, W. H. Lawrence, Esq.
numbered the men 60, total num
ber 128. The writer never saw
a more congenial and orderly
crowd, no smell or signs of in
toxicants and people of all re
ligious beliefs and political faith
mingled together and enjoyed
the day as neighbors should.
After dinner was over the as
sembly repaired to the parlor
where they enjoyed some fine
music rendered by Misses Anna
and Mattie Thayer and others.
After enjoying the music for a
season the guests went down to
a river bottom to witness a game
of baseball between Pleasant
Hill and Mt. Pleasant teams.
Some of the married men joined
the boys in the game and dis
tinguished themselves"' to the
surprise of everybody. While
the game was in progress a
steam thresher was at work
near by, turning out wheat at
the rate of 2h bushels per minute.
Taken as a whole it was a fine
day for Tabernacle tow iship.
Among the oldest . guests who
attended the celebration were:
John Davis 85, Rev. Evens
Hunt, 83, and Azor W alker 71.
Mr. Thayer was showered by
hearty congratulations and was
the recipient of -a number of
handsome and valuable presents
After wishing their host the re
turn of many more birthdays,
the guests departed feeling that
the day was well spent.
A Neighbor and Wellwisher.

WHAT LIQUOR DID FOR HIM:
A writer in the current num
ber of the American Magazine,
gives his experience with the
liquor habit as follows:
I especially appreciate your
articles on people's personal ex
perience with liquor drinking,
as I have had some experience
in that line myself.
About seven years ago I had
a wife and one child and held a
civil position which would have
insured me a good salary the rest
of my days if I had not gone to
drinking. I lost my nagion on
account of drink, was suspc
from my lodge for misconduCtCL-
while intoxicated and finally got
to where I could not even get
work as a common laborer. I
tried to reform but found it pos
sible if I stayed in my home
town; I tried to persuade my
wife to move somewhere else or
let me go and then come to me
after L-had become established
somewhere else. She refused to
leave or let me do so and finally
I ran away from them in order
to get away from the drink.
I have been spending the past
three years in the extreme
'backwoods" sections of this
state (Florida), guarding prison
ers on turpentine farms and ab
solutely away from liquor yet
when I had occasions to make
a short trip to one of our larger
pities a few weeks ago it was
one tremendous and continual
struggle to keep out of the bar
rooms, and I hope never to be
obliged to spend another twenty-
four hours in a "wet" town.
This is the situation after a
three year's trial at overcoming
the liquor habit: My wife se
cured a divorce as soon after I
left home as possible, and thirty-
five vears of age I am obliged to
stay away out in the woods, cut
off from everything I consider
makes life worth living, follow
ing an uncongenial occupation '
and afraid to go among the peo
ple I was used to for fear of

through your magazine, create
a sentiment that will make this
country" safe for those of us who
have fallen, it will certainly be
appreciated by me at any rate.
