C, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 26, 1911. ONE DOLLAR A YEAR KM SOUTHERN RAILROAD MAKES j ENCOURGING REPORTS. Washington, D. C. October 19 A most encouraging view of conditions in the South east is presented in the annual: report of Southern Railway Co. which states that one of the most important factors in the strength of the company's pos ition is the industrial and agri cultural develoqment of the ter ritory traversed by its lines. The markeb agricultural prog ress due to the general adoption of approved methods of the the farmers of the Southeast, partic ularly the increase of diversified farming and the diversification of industries are noted. The management of the Com pany with a broad conception of its relation to the public, is making the railway not merely a carrier of the people and pro ducts of the South, but also a helpful factor in Southern devel opment. The report sets out the efforts deing put forward to increase the prosperity of the people al ready in the Southeast, and to attract investors and desirable settlers to the territory served by the lines of the Southern Railway. A review is given of the work being done by the Cotton Cul ture Dept. which is teaching farmers, in localities where it is possible the boll weevil may spread to successfully combat the insect should it ever occur in their fields and thus maintain their production instead of learn ing how to deal with it after it appears. The work of this De partment will be extended to cover all territory along the Company's lines to which there is even a remote danger that the weevil may spread. The impor tance to the South of maintain ing its monopoly of cotton pro duction is pointed out in connec tion with the vigorous efforts being made to raise cotton in other parts of the world. The report shows that the Com pany is also encouraging live st jck raising and dairying in its terri tory Recognition is given the newspapers of the Southeast for their valuable assistance and also to commercial orginazations banks, and inviduals who have nifted-the Cjmoanv in all its efforts to advance the agricult ural prosperity of the Southeast. The more important additions and betterments completed and undertaken during the year are a'mwn anions them the double track liner through Lynchburg, Va., and into Chatta nooga, Tenn. 38 miles of double track between Atlanta and Gainesville Ga. modern lap-sidings on the line between Atlan ta and Macon Ga. Knoxville and Chattanoga Tenn. and Morris town Tenn. and Ashville N. C. new freight station and yard facilities at Macon and addition al wharf facilities at Mobile Ala, To provide adequate facilities to take care of the increasing traf fic of the South the report shows that the company has in -the last two years purchased the follow ing additional equipment: 198 locomotives, 203 passenger train cars and 5,207 freight-train cars. In closing, the report emphasi zes the loyalty which has char, acterized the services of officers and employes .in all department during the year and it is stated that the standard of efficiency throughout the service jusaifies the managment in pursuing a consistent policy of filling by promotion vacancies that may occur thus preserving a wide field of opportunity for adyancs ementof all loyal and efficient mployes HIGH COST OF UV1NG WIDE WOKLD- While the people of the United States are suffering through the increased cost of living it may be some satisfaction to know that the trouble is world wide. In Austria the people are on the ver ge of rioting because the price of food products has risen to an abnormal degree, while in France an almost equal amount of dis content is shown because of the increased cost of the necessaries of life. The same story comes from London. According to the Lon don Mail, which has been making an exhaustive inquiry into the situation, potatoes and rice are the only articles which sell at a lower price than in 1900. Bread, flour, beef, mutton, pork, bacon, butter, eggs, sugar, and even currants and raisons are all sell ing at a marked advance. Bacon is 38 per cent higher, flour has gone up 20 per cent and the in crease in all the other necessaries is enough to make a marked difference in the cost of living. Of course, it does not help our own situation to know that others are in an equally unfortunate ex- i " mi ? i i tremicy. ine wcria-wiae in crease of cost, however, is of sufficient importance to warrant an investigation by economic ex perts and they ought to be able to offer an explanation and a A. solution. Washington Herald. O- -4 Toot Your Own Horn. Under the heading of "Toot Your Own Horn," the following interesting jingle appears in the Practical Printer: A hen is not supposed to have much common sense or tact, yet every time she lays an egg she cackles forth the fact. A rooster hasn't got a lot of intellect to show, but none the less, most roosters have enough good sense to crow. The mule, and most desp'sed of beasts, has a persistent way of letting people know he's around hy his insistent bray. The busy little bees they buzz, bulls bellow and cows moo, and watchdog bark and ganders quack and doves and pig , ons '-co. The peacock spreads his tail and quacks; pigs vsqueal and bobins sing, and even serpents know enough to hiss be fore they sting. But man, the greatest masterpiece that nature could devise, will often stop and think before he'll ADVERTISE. President Taft Goe3 Down 1,100 ft. Deadwood, S. D. Oct. 21 President Taft futher qnalified as a miner today when he drop ped 1,110 feet d own into the famous Homestake gold mine at Lead. Two years ago Mr. Taft was taken down to the 1,200 foot level in the Leonard copper mine at Butte, Mont. , and spent fully an hour groping about the drifts and tunnels and watching the men at work. His experiences today were much the same the principal difference being in the more pre cious quality of the quartz veins through which Mr. Taft was guided with miners lanterns lighting the way. Mr. Taft went sailing down in the darkness today at the speed which carried him to the 1,100 level in less than two minutes. Gives Aid To Strikers. Sometimes liver kidneys and bowels seem to go on a strike and refuse to work right. Then you need those pleasant little strike-breakers Dr. King's New Life Pills to give them natural aid and gently compel proper action. Excellent health soon follows. Try tern. 25c at J. T. Underwood's. Educational Day Of Randolph Fair Nov. 1st. To the Committeemen and Teachers: The Randolph Fair Association, having made Wednesday Nov. 1st of Fair week, Educational day, and having made everything as attractive as possible, it is now up to us to do all we can to pro mote the interest of education on that day. Dr. Joyner, State Superin tendent of Public Instruction, will make the opening address at the court house at 10:30 that morning. After the address there will be a parade of the school children. A long train of Nisson wagons will haul the children with their teachers; but if you can decorate your own wagon, have banners, etc., it will be all right for you to do so. You can drive your team in the parade following the wagon train. The Fair Association will give $5.00 to the school that brings the largest, per cent of its pupils, based on the school census for" 1910; a nice blackboard will be given as a second prize. Remember that the teachers and their pupils will be admitted free on that day. The word " pupil " means only those who are now of school age and are enrolled in school this year or who attended school last year. None other is considered a pu pil. This Educational Day should certainly mean something for the educational interests Randolph county, The content? of bo.,ks are not the on i sU!ii5ct to b taught 1: the cl I'd: hervation teaches a? well d oftimes, the greatest i i i ana v.h re i;i-,t:njr l.svis. This day with ail its attraction-, both in and out of the' fait4 givu Ua, will mean as much and' Mt-.'iv to a g'eat many chil dren th in one month's work in school room. I am a.'-xious 'for every child BOOZE RUNS RIOT it-ports irom that section or;ety wiu me8t in Aaheboro on the Kamiwlpn. county lying in tne Gray's Chapel and Linebury neighborhood say that very bad cond.t-ons exist there and have for some months past. It i said that . blockade juice and blind tiger dew is dealt out freely and that no it tempt is made by any one in authority to suppress the traffh. Quarreling and fighting is frequently engaged in and in two casts, at least, deadly wea pons have been used with telling effect. No arrests have been made. It is said the lawabiding and self respecting citizens (of which there are many) are be coming very tired of a few thugs and booze pedlers dominating the!; community. DEATH OF JESSE E. PRESNELL After a lingering illness of several months duration Jesse E, Presnell died at his home on South Fayetville Street this city Saturday night Oct. 21. Although in bad health for so long his death came sudden and unexpected to his family as he had been on the street earlier in the day. The deceased was past 60 years of age and is sur vived by his widow and only son C.G. Presnell. The funeral was conducted from the Methodist Episcopal church Sunday evening at 5 o'c lock The pastor Rev. Chas. A. Wood conducted the services. in the county to be here on this day, although I know this may be impossible, y.t it is not impos sible for the majority of then! to be here; and I think it the duty of every committeeman and teacher to put forth an effort in trying to get the children here. Where there is a will, there is a way, and I hope every teacher and parent has it in his or her heart to give the children this one chance of their lives. The Board of Education has ordered that all the schools of the county where it is possible to do so to open on the last Monday in this month This will give the teach ers a chance to organize and arrange for the conveying the children to Asheboro on that day Two or three wagons can bring a lot of children and many others can get here in buggies. A rath er unique feature will be the train of Nisson wagons pulled by a traction engine hauling all the children in one grand parade Do not wait for further instr uction but begin planning now and during the meantime write me for any information and at the same time offer any sugges tion you may have. Every school representeb sho uld organize itself into a distinct band with the teacher as leader If the school has not begun some one or more person should try to get the children of the district togather and one from among them should be selected f lh leader, i Every tercher or lea der should report to me at the court house not later than ten oclock Wednesday morning. I will give my instructions to the teacher or leader, of each school and the students will obey the instructions of the lea iders By this method the chil j dren can be very easily managed Yours for a big crowd of chil dren on Educational Day.

Charlotte, Oct. 23.-0. P. Heath, of Charlotte, one- of the wealthiest and best known cotton brokers in the southern states, with branch offices in all impor tant southern cities, filed a peti tion in bankruptcy late this after noon in the Federal court at Salisbury, through Maxwell and Kerans, his attorneys. Judge Boyd promptly ad j udged the peti tioner a bankrupt and referred the matter to W. S. O. B. Robin son, of Charlotte, referee in bankruptcy. The liabilities, it is said, are more than $1,000,000, while the assets will not reach one-quarter of that amount. Practically alt' of the creditors are North Caro lina banks, though several New York firms are represented in the list. No cause is known for the failure. Mr. Heath is ill at his home in this city and efforts to secure a statement from him to night were unsuccessful. WHY SIDESHOWS WILL BE PRO HIBITED. As heretofore annonnced there will be no sideshows and f aikers inside the Fair Grounds. This was the understanding when contributions were solicited for promotion of the Fair. I hope none of the citizens of the town or the town authorities will allow any thing near the grounds that will, m any way interfere with the Agricultural and Educational exercises.
