In the Cleveland-Harrison election ..i 18J2. when Cleveland was again elected President, he more than doubled his major ity in this state, receiving 32,- 533 votes more than Harrison. This, too, was in spite of the fact that Weaver, the Peoples' Party candidate for President, received 44,732 votes in North Carolina- When William Jennin*/ * Bryan first became a candidate for the Presidency in 1896. the North Carolina Democrats couldn't quite follow him and let the Democratic majority drop from 44,732 in the prev ious campaign to 19,245, the majority by which Bryan led William McKinley. In the 1900 election Bryan led President McKinley by 24,671 votes in this State.

In the next election. 1920. i' new clement entered politics the women, but they were not entirely responsible for the more than doubled v«»te that year over the vote cast in the preceding election. The Demo crats had hail charge of the national Government for eight years. They were lighting hard to maintain it. and the Republicans put forth Hercul ean efforts to wrest the powci from then - :, and did. The vot in North 1 'arolfjia four years before had been 289.371. In 192' it more than doubled, reaching the high peak if 538.295. of which Harding re ceived 232.848. and Cox re ceived 3"5.147. or a Democrat ic majority of 72.599. It is by no means taken as indicative, especially in view of North Carolina activities during tlu past few months, of the State's attitude, that the prohibition ist candidate. Wat kins, in th«u year received only IT votes ir North Carolna. Nor is it any more indicative that C'hristien sen. Farmer-Laborite {'resi dential candidate, did nut re ceive a vote in the State. Eugene V. Debs polled abo i the usual 446 votes. The total national vote ex perienced a slump again in the last election, being nearly 60,000 less in 1024 than in 102(1, due probably in part to the hopelessness of the Demo cratic cause in the nation. At anv rate, the total vote was only 482,674, of which John W. Davis received 284.270, President Coolidge 191,753, and LaFollette, Progressive candidate, 6,651. Just what effect the oppo sition to Governor Smith, within the Democratic Party will have on the normal na tional majority in North Caro lina is a matter of speculation. Pessimistic Democrats and optimistic Republicans claim the normal 100,000 majority will be cut in half, while a few wild Republicans are ex pressing hope, if not the be lief, that it will be completely wiped out. Many level-headed THE DANBIRY REPORTER Democrats ami less optimisth Republicans express the btlitl that the national majority \*il be reduced, p*\>ba"ulv 25,C" However, the fact t;;: Secretary Hoover promulgate a ruling in the I'epartiren* o1 Commerce, abolishing the se gregation of the whi'e ..m colored employees and them side by side, will i \ its effect on North Carolina a? it will in all other S >nt" n States. That is a co'.ver i ill and effective argument * -at will doubtless be used to fullest extent in holding i: line many Southern IVm . '« who are and will be ind ed to bolt the party and \ot« n Republican national ticket. The national situation is -t expected to have a ve"v at intiuence on State jv»litivs. It is considered possible that a scattering of the dryes' ,:id strongest Protestant D .•- crats will stay away from 'lO polis and thus reduce some >h.* normal State Democratic a jority. Some who oppose ( v ernor Smith are expected to pass up the electors box ..mi vote as usual for the State and local candidates. Cottonseed Meal, A Feed, Not A Fertilizer Approximately 450,000 of cottonseed meal, or ne; rlv 16 per cent of the 1926-'.♦27 crushings of cotton seed, w re used as a fertilizer during the past year. Of this amou:)'. approximately 330.000 )■,»* were used l»y farmers direct and nearly 120.000 tons vi-iv rej»orted by manufacturers as used in production of comnur ciallv mixeil fertilizers. There is no excuse for u-ing cottonseed meal as a fertilizer. Cottonseed m'eal now o»sts about $45 a ton. The same amount of nitrogen, the i ant food of importance in the Deal, may be had in other mateuals, such as nitrate of soda, sul phate of ammonia, etc.. for for around $3O a ton. It fol lows. then, that if farmers this year use as much cotton seed meal for fertilizer as they did last year, they will lose about $l5 on every ton that they use. or if a total of 330,- 000 tons is used, the total loss will amount to about $5,000.- 000. Of course, farmers will not use as much meal this year year as they did last, because of its increased price, but sup pose they use only-one-half as much, there still remains a loss as a result of using the meal as a fertilizer of about $2,500,000. However, this is not th-j only loss involved in the use of meal as a fertilizer. When meal is used as a feed, it has both a fed and a fertilizer value, because in common practice at least one-third of the plant food in the meal is returned to the land in form as a feed, or in other words, worth what is charged for it $45 a ton, and also has a fer tlizer value, when the manure is returned, of $l5 a ton, then the total value of a ton of cot tonseed meal is $6O a ton. If the meal is used as a fertilizer, it has a value of only $3O a ton. According to market reports,' the higher price being charg-1 ed for meal is causing a heavy substitution of other feed.' - . But even at $45 a ton, cotton seed meal is probably our cheapest protein feed, and we should use every ton of it here in the South for feeding purposes instead of exporting around a half million tons, as we have been in the habit of doing in the past.—The Pro gressive Farmer.

Capable dry agents are diffi cult to find, according to Geo. L. Winkler, deputy dry ad ministrator. The agent of the future must lie a "perfect gentleman 'en dowed with personality. well dressed and neat, with pleasing voice ami intelligence." Wink ler says. Conspicuous gold teeth, slovenliness, unusual height. >t uttering. harsh. rasping voice and loquaciou>ness are bars to appointment. To quote from Winkler's in-1 structions. "Officers must po-i sess those attributes of per-i sonality ami appearance which ! commend them to the respect- j fill consideration of persons i that they need to interview." j Tendency to nervousness or j weakness also is a bar. "A corkscrew and a bottle opener" are not the answers to the question as to what equipment an agent t needs, it was indicated. A garrulous applicant is foredoomed to failure. Instruc tions provide that the pros pective agent must answer questions without wandering off the subject because direct ness is needed in court testi mony. He must look the. interview er in the eye without hestita'- ing and must appear at ease during the interview. As an example of what ti.e applicant may be asked to determine is: "What would you do !l you were escorting two prisoner you had just arrested for sell ing you a pint of liquor in a soft drink parlor, and you saw a truck with 100 cases of whiskey at the curb witn two men on the driver's seat?"

C Corn For Everbody «"rHE corn pack for 1927 has been Counted by the United States Department ui Commerce with the result that every person in the United States is entitled to two cans of corn, and there are a number of extra ones about thirty-seven million left over for those who want three cans. On the basis of standard cases of number 2 cans, there were 10,346,680 cases, or 248,- 320,320 cans. Maryland is the queen corn state if number of canneries is considered, for she has seventy-four; but Illi nois with only twenty-nine canneries produces 1,961,433 standard cases to Maryland's 1,493.226. Kinds of Canned Com One reason for the comparatively Wanted We can use a considerable quantity of wheat and corn if delivered at an early date— Corn, (on ear,) $1.40 bushel. Wheat, (clean,) $1.40 bushel. Danbury Roller Mills DANBURY, N. C. WEDNESDAY, JULY IS, 192*k» large number of canneries that i sweet corn will lose sweetness if | there is a delay between the time of picking and canning. Thereiore, canners make every effort to get the i corn in the cans and sealed up ; within a few hours after it is picked in order to provide the best possible i quality. Canned corn, as a rule, is put up in two ways, the so-called whole grain style and the cream style. In the former, the ears arc husked and the kernels cut from them: in the cream style the upper part of the kernel is cut off and the creamy contents are forced out by means of scrapers. Of the two typos the housewife can select the one which best meets her needs and yet main tains quality. The best grades come in gold enamel lined cans which pre serve the corn's color.
