Established 1899 fllGill.MlL Clll 10 JEST mom The State Test Farm Exhibit Car to be Here. MR. PUCKET TO BE IN CHARGE. Car Will be Placed on Side Track and Will be Open to Visitors- Contents are Interesrmg and Worth Coming to See. Mr. F. S. Puckett, of the State Department of Agriculture, has a ,ranged with Mr. W. J. Shuford whereby there will be an exhibi tion here by the North Carolina Department of Agriculture fct-ite Test Farm exhibit. Mr. W. J. Shuford has arrang ed with Mr. F. S. Puck- it, ol Raleigh, Assistant Director of the State Test Farms, to bring the State Test Farm Exhibit to the Catawba Street Fair. The exhibit this year is installed in a passenger coach. The car will be on the side track near passen ger depot and will remain open tree to visitors. Formerly Mr. Puckett has brought the State Test Farm exhibit to the fair and., installed it within the exhibit haii, however, this year the ex hibit is complete in every detail and enormous in size, completely filling a sixty-foot passenger coach. This year it will cousist of the leading varieties oi corn on the stalk, showing the height of ears, size and shape of ears, and cross sections showing shape of grain and size of cob, a»so museum jars graphically representing the dif ferences between the yields of the different varieties for the number of years they have been tested. Representative types ot each variety of corn have been carefully selected to show each variety not at its best or poorest, but as it grows under average conditions. The different vaue ties of wheat, oats and cotton are shown in a similar way. Fertili zer experiments have been car ried on with these crops, the sults of which will be shown graphically in museum jars. Other interesting features of the exhibit will be representa tive soil types of the State in its natural state to a depth of 24 in ches, with maps showing the lo j cation of the different types; also the results of fertilizer tests that j have been made on these soils, j The leading varieties of Irish potatoes, apples and peaches will j be shown in an attractive way. A complete tobacco exhibit is also with the car, showing the different grades of tobacco from the distinct tobacco belts of. the .State. A portion of the exhibit that will be of special interest to the women is the canned goods ex hibit, showing fruits and vege tables canned by the State De partment of Agriculture. Instructive charts, enlarged j photographs and leguminous plants will be on exhibition also. The exhibit is instructive, edu cational ana interesting, and something worth coming to the fair to see. Anson And Rockingham for Clark. Anson county is said to be sure for Clark and the following ap peared in the Greensboro News: C. 0. McMichael, one of the keenest political workers of the State and a power in Rockingham politics, declared to a representa tive of the Daily News last night that he did not mind staking his reputation as a political seer on the statement that Governor Kitchin would not carry Rocking ham county in his campaign for the senate against Judge Clark and Senator Simmons. Mr r Mc- Michael thinks Judge Clark will get the bulk of Rockingham's vote, not solely bectuse he, Mc- Michael, favois Clark, but, as he says, because the people of Rock ingham are tired of a man on the one hand who forgets his cam paign promises as soon as his name is on the government or state payroll and on the other by a Democrat who invar ably stra - dies his party platform. He puts Governor Kitchin in first class and Senator Simmons i n the second. Uncle Ezra Says "It dont take more'n a gill uv effort to git folks rnto a peck ol trouble" and a little neglect of constipation, indigestion or other liver derangement will do the same.

THE HICKORY DEMOCRAT • Money And The Election Collars Magazine. The statement of Colonel Roosevelt, frequently reiterated, that the money powers are fight ing against him exclusively, and are satisfied with both Taft and Wilson, is no doubt a perfectly candjd statement of- his belief, but it seems to us grossly inac curate. The President, from some source to iis unknown) has re cently got plenty of money for his campaign. We happen to k*iow that Perkins, making it clear that he can raise all the money needed by the Bull Moose if he wants to, has held back and indicated that he might step out if things did not go ac coiding to "his wish. We state this not as a surmise but as a tact. It doesn't mean anything against Cok Roosevelt's indepen dence, which is well established, but it does not seem to us to con stitute a reason for not making charges of probable subserviency or helplessness against Gov. Wii son. Whether or not big busi ness men would care to help Gov. Wilson financially can scarcely be known, as he is so particular about who contributes to his campaign fund. Our guess would be that Mr. Jacob Schiff's support of Governor Wilson might be founded partly on the belief that he was going to be elected, as Mr. Schiff could scarcely take much satisfaction in the Governor's intense feelings about the existence of a money trust. We mention this instance, because Mr. Roosevelt has chosen to emphasize MrrSchiff as an in dication that high finance f?ars only him. As a matter of fact, the Morgan interests in general will probably be backing the Colonel even more heavily than they are now before the campaign is over. Catawba's Tuberculin Tested Cattle. An Agricultural Department Bulletin notes that there are two creameries in the state receiving their entire milk supply from tubercular-free cattle, as indicat ed by the subcutaneous test ap plied early in 1911. They are the Hickory and Fletcher institutions. Many of the cows supplying these creameries have been tested a number of times. In only a few heards eupplying the Catawba creamery, located at Hickory, has the disease been found, and then in herds which had added cattle from a distant locality. Practically without one exception tuberculosis has only been found in herds where cattle have been purchased outside the state and introduced for breedingpurposes. In the 1,231 cattle tested supply ing the Catawba creamery only one reactor was found. This test- j ing of the cows supplying this creamery was completed May 31, 1911. Leader Williamson Bolts. Greensboro Dispatch, nth. After adopting unanimously a resolution "agreeing not to disa gree" earlier in the evening, the meeting here of-the execu tive committee of the new Pro gressive party in North Carolina, in session jointly with a commit tee named at the Charlotte Roosevelt Republican convention after the Roosevelt delegates had been denied admission to the "regular" Republican conven tion, the conference practically broke up in a row at midnight when James N. Williamson, Jr., of Alamance, who has been the recognized leader of the new party in the'*State, vehemently denounced the action of "that crowd which came down here," after the platform had been mdoified to incorporate a de mand for the Australian ballot system, and left the conference I chamber, not withstanding ap- I peals from Chairman Iredeil Meares and others that he re main. Efforts to revise the lo cal opinion p'ank and to annex other planks, notably one calling for the Australian ballot system ancLone denouncing the preser.t system of property tax assess ments led Mr. Williamson to bolt. A County Assessor on the Job. Statesville Landmark. Mr. John W. Blackwelder, county assessor for Catavba county, appears to be on hi.* job. 'He was not satisfied tha the voluntary returns made to the assessors included all taxable property of the county and when he had finished nosing around he had added to the list of property of the taxable value of $52,385 and 83 polls, all of which would have es caped taxation but for the per nicious activity of the assessor.

The editor of the paper is a loyal Taft supporter, but a majority of the stock holders recently held a special meeting and ordered the paper in the ranks of the Progressives. A lone stockholder who remains faithful to the President then started injunction proceedings to to compel the paper to continue to support the regular Republican ticket on the ground that the paper was chartered on a Repub paper.

Duncan, supervisor of the canning demonstration de partment of the Alabama Poly technic Institute at Auburn, after making a visit to 14 centres where fruit and vegetable can ning have been carried on ex tensively by farmers' daughters, stated a few days ago that he found many girls who have earn ed money to send themselves to college through their canning work. In Walker county, Ala., alone Prof. Duncan says over 400,000 cans of fruit and vegetables have already been prepared for the market. Most of this work has been done by girls and is the direct result of the extension work which taught members of the farm home how to prepare their fruits and vegetables for the general trade. This ip .only the second year that canning has been carried on m a big way by the girls of Walker county, and Prof. Dun can is confident that the indus try will increase greatly next season because of the marked success of the girls who have taken it up seriously. The farm woman is rapidly discovering that the means of making mone> lie right at her door, and the time will soon come when no peaches* or apples, or pears, or tomatoes, will ever .be allowed to go to waste because it is not possible to market them at the moment they ripen. Im proved canning outfits for the use of a family and the discovery that the help of all the children can well be utilized in preparing tomatoes for the can have point ed to the farmer's wife and daughter a new means of re furnishing the home, buying a piano and obtaining many of the comforts which once seemed be yond the purse of the small farm ler. Children cry FOR FCETCHEITS CASTOR) A GOIVIIVIEINT ! YHE FATAL HAZING AT CHAPE HILL. Kicking-a barrel from und" Freshman Isaac Wi'liam Rand, o Smithfield at the University ( Carolina Friday befo- e lay, four masked Sophomore ire thus responsible for hi nurder, for he fell upon a bri - ken bottle and the glass cut a sash an inch deep from his ear to the thorax. Rand and h s room-mate, Robt. A. Wellons, hac been ordered out of bed by young men who afterwards turned out to be A. H. Styron, and W. L Merrimon, of Wilmington, R. YV. Oldham, of Raleigh, and A. C. Hatch, of Mt Olive. Rand was ordered to sing and when he complained that he rould not, the reply came "We will make you sing, d —n you," and the ba:rcl went out from under him. When it was seen that he was hurt the/ four hazers helped carry him to the gymnasium, and there cow ardly deserted him to his roonr.- mate, who summoned aid as soon as he could, but too late, Rand was dead. After the corener's in vestige tion the four young men were held in $5,000 bail each for court to answer for the murder. The appalling tragedy has stirred the State and Gov. Kitchin has ask ed President Venable to have the fullest investigation and every every detail published. Hazing is bararism, and there are many records of death from it throughout the country Of course these young men did not intend to kill their victim, but they are no less his murder ers, They will escape with slight punishment, for it is easy to defeat justice in North Caro lina, but nothing-less than a pen itentiary tsrm is the deserved penalty. As a loyal akimnius of the Univer sity, we appeal to the upper classmen, especially to the seniors and juniors, to make it their duly henceforth to stop hazing. They can do it if they will.

Circus day is fast approaching and the small boy is on his best behavior. If it were not for tht fact that his mother is wise to his methods, his angelic good ness would give her some alarm. She knows that he is working tc see "that circus." For that matter mother wants to see it also. Father is non-committai but it is the one best bet that he will be thnre it' it is for no other reason than to take the boy. You see he has not forgotten when he was a little shaver him self. Sparks World's Famous will be here Tuesday. Oct. 1, anci will then unfold its myriads of wonders gathered from all por tions of the universe. The prii> cipal query it presents is, "Are i you going to the circus?" The i answers give rise to the belief that show day will see the great.- j est outpouring of people from all parts of the county this city has ever seen. There is every reason to expect this. The promises held forth are simply wonderful, ! and they come from an institu j tion which in over a quarter of a century has never broken faith with the public or advertised things it did not have. There is undoubted truth in ithe statement that the Sparks i Shows has reached in all its de | partments the highest perfection !of excellence. It has ransacked I Europe in its search for wonder ! ful acts and feats. The per formance is one of infinite varie ' ty, containing many acts, the mere description of which pales before the acts themselves. Every regard is held for the comfort of the people on the show grounds. The tents are all new and ofjthe finest waterproof canvas. A magic touch seems to have been placed over the entire circus eity, and the parade to be given at 12 o'clock noon, will furnish glorious prelude to to the circus itself, for it will display a thousand wonders. Magnificent chariots and floats will be drawn by handsome horses, beautiful open, dens showing their ferocious inmates will be in evidence, and there will be many comical features to make the youngsters shout with glee. Thousands of visitors are expected to come from the sur rounding country to see the I parade and take in the exhibi tions, and it will n6 doubt a big day for Hickory. Btretch of Water Well Named.

Stay right there, with your friends, and take this safe medicine. Throat and lung troubles find quick relief and health returns.

CATAWBA'S sIDE CROPS. it is That Which is Making the Coun ty Famous. charlotte Chronicle. Up in Catawba county the peo >le are always doing something long lines of development indus tries. Not always some big thing,, but always something. Recently the story was told brief ly of the tomato club girls, or *ome of them and it contracted •.onsiderable attention. These are beginning what is to be i .great big enterprise in that section. The result is to be more and richer side crop farms as the work of the tomato girls realized. In Catawba more than forty girls are now engaged in the work of canning tomatoes and «re organized in the Girl's To mato Clubs. Each one has one tenth of an acre in tomatoes, and *he must do all the work ex cept the heayier preliminary la bor of breaking the ground. Thousands of cans will be put up by these industrious ladies this season. It serves a two-fold pur pose. that of saving a product that would otherwise go to "waste because of poor market faculties for the raw fruit and getting case for it, and that of furnish ing many a winter table with a quality of tomatoes impossible to be obtained by buying the usual commercial article. The sirls get ten cents a can for their - tomatoes, and each manufacturer puts her name on the can and strives to produce the finest goods. That which is making Catawba county famous is the insistence' of its farmers on "side crops." The cotton and eorn is not the main issue in that section, but dairying, produce, poultry and fruit have caught the attention of the men. With this idea car ried out there will come wealth and happiness to the farmers of Catawba. Every other county in the State can and should do likewise. Hale-Cook.

When the Forsyth county law yers petitioned the county com missioners to ask the Governor to order a special term of court for that county, Mr. C. B, Wat son, whose ability as a lawyer is universally recognized, up and said that it was "the fault of the lawers that cases are not dispos ed of at the regulafTierms. I am opposed to special terms, for they cost more than they come to," to the Winston Journal re ports Mr. Watson as saying. "The lawyers take too long in trying their cases,'' he continued 4 They have all become too long winded, and will ask a witness a questions when ten would do just as well. When I first began praticing law here the cases were tried in half the time it takes to try cases of equal importance now." Other lawyers replied that the court business in Forsyth is transacted as expeditiously as it is in any county in the State. This Mr. Watson admitted, but he contended that the lawyers everywhere were too long-wind ed. . Mr. Watson is simply saying what the laymen have been be lieving-and some of them saying ail along.
