One of the good women of Moores ville called the attention of the news man to an incident that was pulled i off at this place on picnic day last month. A pair of young courting couples meandered about over the picnic grounds until they were quite tired out, and finding a vacant sur ry, climbed into the vehicle to rest. Shortly after they had settled on their perch the owner of the vehicle came up and asked the couple in the front seat to move in order that he could get his feed box. When he placed his hand under the seat to pull the box out, he was startled by a severe prick in the flesh. He first thought one of the young men had put up a job on him, but upon in vestigation, found that one of his fine Rhode Island Red hens had stolen a nest under the surry seat, and was busily sitting on a nest full of eggs. She had come probably eight miles that morning, but was not disturbed in the least by the music of the merry-go-round or the pratle of the lovesick swain over her nest. The hen was not further dis turbed, but was carried back home with safety, and she now has seven teen of the prettiest biddies that can be found following any old hen. Mooresville Enterprise. Democrats Have Little to Offer in Way of Tariff Reform. Durham Herald. We are inclined to think that it would have been better for the party this fall if the Democrats had not tried to force tariff bills through the Senate. If the bills voted for by the Democrats represent the Democratic idea of tariff reform, then they party has little to offer the people in the way of tariff reform. Down in South Carolina some peo ple are said to be praying for the de feat of Governor Blease. Perhaps our Palmetto neighbors may vote one way and pray another as some Demo crats in North Carolina are accused of doing. Union Republican. General Nen?s.

Old Republican Taper Support Uoosereli. Brookville. Pa., Aug. 20 The Brookrilie Republican, for years a power in Republican politics In Jef ferson County, has placed the na tional Progressive ticket. Roosevelt and Johnson, at the head of it edi torial columns and make tbU an nouncement: "In our advocacy of the election of the State, district and county j ticket nominated by the Republicans jof the State, district and county in i primary and convention, we accept these candidates as having been reg ularly nominated by the bodies duly constituted to so nominate the peo ple directly in the instance of county and district officers, and the people's representatives, the State delegates, in the other. We accept and shall support them, to the limit of our ability, upon the assumption that they are Republicans, and that they stand upon the platform of Republi can principled as outlined by the State Convention, the most recent ex pression of the will of the rank and file of the Republican party, as ex pressed by their representatives duly elected at State-wide primaries. "For the same reasons which ani mate us in our advocacy of the elec tion of these men, we will not sup port Messrs. Taft and Sherman. In the advocacy of the election of the candidates of the national Progres sive party for President and Vice President, we place principle above precedent, preferring to be bound by what we believe to be the wishes of the majority of the real Republicans of the nation (and certainly the wishes of the majority of them in this county, district and State as expressed by them at the polls) rath er than by the blind worship of a party name, which has been dragged in the mire by the proceedings of the Republican National Committee, but still is held by defeated and discred ited political bosses before the eyes of sane Americans as a fetish to be held above principle. "Preecdent and profit call to us to cling to the old road, but the awak ened conscience of the American peo ple, which has taken voice in the support of Theodore Roosevelt, awak ens the Viking blood in the hearts of red-corpuscled citizens and we heed the cry in the firm belief that the re-election of Theodore Roosevelt to the Presidency means more to the United States than the election of any President since the immortal Lin coln." One Battleship to Be Built This Year. Washington, Aug. 19.

The House and Senate conferees on the naval bill met early today and adjusted in a few minutes the fight between 'the two houses over battle ships and submarines. The Senate yielded to the demand of the House for one battleship instead of two; but secured in exchange the full fleet of eight submarines, instead of the four proposed by the House. The conference report was brought into the Senate and adopted without opposition Senator Thornton, Demo crat, declared the Senate conferees should have adhered to their demand for two battleships. Big Crops of Grain and Potatoes in Prospect. This year's grain crop in the Uni ted States will be far in excess of ast year's yield, it is estimated by the Department of Agriculture. It will be better than the average crop for the past ten years, and in the case of a number of products will make a new. record, if present esti mates are not overthrown by con ditions at present unforeseen. The country's corn crop, estimated at 2,811,000,000 bushels, will be the largest in the nation's history, with the exception of the years 1906 and 1910, the former being the banner year with 2,927,000,000 bushels. As for the wheat crop, estimated at 680,000,000 bushels, that will rank fifth in size during the past twenty years. The oat crop will be the largest the country has gathered, surpassing the 21,000,000 bushels that of 1910, the previous record. In barley, too, this year will establish a new record, the estimated yield of 202,000,000 bushels being 24,000,000 bushels greater than that of 1906, the previ ous best year. The yield of rye, 35, 000,000 bushels, will equal that of 1910, the former record year. Of potatoes, which will amount this year to 371,000,000 bushels, only 1909 with its 389,000,000 bushels, produced a larger yield. Washington Dispatch. Resigns to Support Roosevelt.
