NEW SHIRT FACTORY
RECEIVING ORDERS
Doncaster Collar and Shirt
Company Entering Fifth
W e ek—Many Orders.
Rutherfordton, March 30.—The
Doncaster Collar & Shirt Co., is
now in its fifth week of operation.
Considering the fact that the plant
had to begin under the handicap of
employing mostly unskilled opera-;
tives, the results have been gratify
ing to the management, and the pros
pects are bright for a successful,
manufacturing plant in Rutherford-]
ton.
The company has displayed some !
very attractive shirts, and Mr. |
Zimmerman states that he has j
started plants in larger centers j
where the first run of shirts were]
inferior to those now turned out b> j
Doncaster Company.
Mr. Zimmerman's biggest prob j
lem now is in getting the operators]
to develop speed in their work, as J
the quality of work is quite satis- !
factory for inexperienced shirt
makers.
Many of the operators are gain
ing in production daily, and will
soon be classed as a "real operators."
It is understood that nice
ers have been received at satisfac-

in a Series appearing in this newspaper
■you know the fine crops many farmers
-i- around here get year after year with Chil
ean Nitrate of Soda. They side dress with
Chilean and it pays them well. This year with
Chilean selling at the lowest price in years,
there's no sense in thinking you can economize
with unproved fertilizers. Use plenty of Chil
ean and you'll get a good profitable crop.

AND when you order, be sure to specify
"Chilean". It contains rare elements in
addition to Nitrogen that make it the super
nitrate. It is Nitrogen PLUS, for it contains
iodine, boron, magnesium, plant foods in them
selves. Remember that Chilean is the proved
fertilizer. Side dress your crops with it. At the
new low price and in the new 100 lb. bag, it is
a better buy than ever before. Remember the
tv/o kinds Original Chilean (Crystalline)
and Champion Brand (Granulated) both
natural nitrate.

Reminiscences
Of Corncracker
Shelby, R-5, March 28.—1 learn
on authority of Shelby and Charlotte
editors that blasphemy in the vena
cular of Captain Kidd, Steve Bon
net and Blackbeard has become a
larmingly prevalent in print shops
of these two places. The reason as
signed, is the sinister and illegibility
of my penmanship.
I have never claimed to be gift
ed in mentality, but this charge a
gainst my autograph causes me to
thank God and take courage. A
very eminent authority said that
people who did not excel in chiro
graphy it was because they could
think faster than anyone could write
with a pen.
I was bereaved of my tyepewriter
because it went dead. Thirteen years
ago. I owned a noted war horse that
was christened Bucaphalus, in hon
oi of the war charges of Alexander
the Great. I learned that an erudite
denizen of Forest City pronounced it'
Buck-a-fee-lus, and I governed my
self accordingly. He was sired by a
wild Zebra and damned by the whole
community. I n a scuffle with him,
I had my right arm hurt; and nearly
lost it from infection. As a result,
my penmanship is said to resemble
that of the gifted but eccentric Hor
ace Greely of New York Tribune
! fame.
In a recent obituary notice of the
death of Prof. T. W. Elliott, I was
guiltj* of some mistatements, or else
the typos were. As editors and
typos are infallible, I am willing to
be the goat. Deceased was a son of
William Martin Elliott and Barbara
Carson Elliott, and the Elliotts are
piominent citizens of Cleveland and
the Carsons of Rutherford. Amon?
the most eminent of the Carson
family were General John Carson,
of Revolutionary fame, whose re
mains are in the cemetery of Little
Brittain Presbyterian church. Sheriif
I William Carson, Dr. Phillip Carson,
| a skillful M. D., Dr. John Carson,
minister of the gospel and M. D., and
the late Dr. Thos. L. Carson, D. D.
i S., who lived near Forest City.
This naturally leads to the use of
whiskey and tobacco and I oppose
bcth. I have all able physicians and
ministers on my side.
Neither are a food or a medicine
both are expensive and detrimental
to health, and create morbid habits
and cause unnecessary expenditure
of money.
The three oldest and two of them
very useful men, obtained from
them narcotic poisons, Capt. Ed
Dickson reached 97, Dr. V. J. Palmer
86, and Capt. Deveny Parker was
called at 92.
Captain Dickson fell leading his
men at Gettysburg. Dr. V. J. Palmer
received at least two wounds in
Confederacy; for he was first lieu
tenant in his company.
Captain Devany Parker lost an arm
leading his men at Bloody Chicamau
ga, and perished at the untimely age
of 92. He never tasted either tobac
co nor whiskey. Historians and bio
graphers, put the noted scout and ex
plorer, in my class of tetotallers;
and he hung on 88 years and then
departed to where the woodbine
twineth. This was Daniel Boone.
—CORNCRACKER.
MR. A. W. GREEN DEAD.
Mr. A. W. Green died at his home
in Duncan, Okla., March 12th and
was buried there. He is a brother
in-law of Mrs. L. W. Lynch and Mr.
J. B. Elliotte of Rutherfordton and
Mrs. Urcilla Lynch of Caroleen and
was born and reared in Cleveland
county. He has many friends and
relatives in Rutherford county whc
are grieved at his passing.
He leaves a widow, three child
ren, a number of grandchildren and
several brothers and sisters in
Cleveland county. He has been in
the West for over thirty years.
