second class matter.
THURSDAY. DEC. 4, 1913
Thanksgiving Day was ob
served in Hickory in the right
manner. All business houses
were closed, and services were
held til nearly all the churches.
Large conjii egations attended all
the services, and public expres
sion of. gratitude was given for
ths supshine and the rain, for
the rich harvest of farm and
garden and for prosperity and
plenty, and above all for the
peace that had blessed the Amer
ican people for the past year.
The Whole South was shocked
when the news came that the
presidents of two great Southei n
railways had died on the same
day. It was a remarkable coin
cidence. President Finley, of
the Soathern, and President
Emerson, ot' the Atlantic Coast
Line, rwere both business met
of rare ability. Both rose from
the ranks, as have most other
railroad men who have won hieh
positions by starting at the bot
tom and faithfully applying
themselves to their work, there
by winning positions of great
prominence and emolument. Both
achieved signal success as practi
cal railroad men, and the rail
roads under their management
have become very profitable.
They have been untiring in
their efforts to promote the de
velopment of the South, and
their influence for the promotion
of modern farming methods, for
good schools and good roads, and
all otte phases of modern de
velopment.
Quite a momentous decision
devolves upon the two boards
of ...directors in appointing
capable men to fill the vacancies
at the heads of these railroads,
for upon the type of men select
ed will depend in large measure
the future of the section of the
country.through which the«
roads pass. It will be.difficult to
find m|n who will make the im
pression on the industrial life of
the South that these men did.
The Premier Clover For North
: • • Carolina Farmers.
* Crimson clover has a wider
adaptability to southern climate,
soils and propping systems than
any "Of the. Other clovers. It is
generally 1 not only a surer crop
than red, mammoth and alsike
clovers,; outside of the more ele
vated Sections, but will usually
grow well under the conditions
best.suited to the other clovers.
The toot system is compara
tively large and strong. It is
made up of a branched tap root
with many secondary branches
and. fibrous roots which pene
trate th 6 soil to a depth of one to
three fe6t.' Tubercles appear on
the roots of the plants when
they ate' quite small. On an
average, the roots comprise about
one-third of the whole plant. The
full development of the roots of
the plantoafe reached some time
before the; tops. With summer
or early fall sowing the root
growth to stem growth in the
fall is ..usually proportionally
larger than in the spring.
Although crimson clover is an
annual it has a semi-bienniai
habit as it when sown in the
summer or fall will mature
during the soring of the follow
ing year. It is upright in its
habit of growth and under favor
able conditions attains a height
of twenty to thirty inches. From
the crown of the root are de
veloped four to thirty or more
erect branches on which a larger
amount of foliage is produced.
The stems and leaves are quite
hairy. The heads are terminal,
being some distance above the
last leaves," and are somewhat
longer thaii those of red clover,
Th6y are of a rich, crimson color
and are strikingly beautiful in
their appearance. The leaves
are borne ori long leaf stalks. It
is much earlier in maturing than
red, mammoth and alsike clovers.
It grows late in the fail and
•tarts growth early in the spring.
The plants grow rapidly during
the latter part of their develop
ment, producing about one-half
of their growth during the last
month before, maturity, and foi
this reason the stalks are -rather
weak, It,is. quite susceptible to
drought and excessive cold.
Crimson ' clover should be
grown as a catch crop for the
#urpose of . enriching the land as
well as,protecting it from wash
ing during the winter and spring.
It may follow a small grain crop;
tr a cotton,. corn, tobacco or
truck crop by being lightly har
iv»wed or cultivated in between
the rows of growing crops during
August or early in September.
A.a nearly as possible farmers
8 9 w the seed at the last
cultivation of the' crop, in order
•J9 save labor. I may be plowed
under the following spring, oi
cut for hay and s'ubble turned 11
time to go in corn or some other
summer crop, but not in tinru
usually for cotton or tobacco. Ir
this way a crop may be secure,
and the land» be greatly benefi -
ed by plowing under tt e whol*
clover crop, or its stubble. It
frequently used in peach or
chards as a winter cover crop. I
about completes its growth an
may be plowed under in spring
as the growth of the peach tre. ■*
are getting good under way. 1
is one of the best cover crops th
southern farmer can use in hi
rotations. —Circular N. C. Ex

Two caterpillars crawling on a leaf,
By some strange accident in contac
came; •
Tlieir conversation passing all belie!
Was that same argument, the vei. .
same
That lias been li proed and conned'
from man to man,
Yes, ever since this world began.
The ugly creatures,
Deaf and dumb and blind,
Devoid of features
That adorn mankind,
Were vain enough, in dull and wordh
strife,
To speculate upon a future life.
The lirst was optimistic, full of hope:;
The second, quite dyspeptic, seemed t
mope.
Said Number One, "I am sure of oui
salvation."
Said Number Two, "I am sure of ou
damnation;
Our ugly forms alone would seal oui
fates
And bar our entrance through tin
tjohlen gates.
Suppose that death should take u
unawares,
How could we climb t he golden stair*;
If maidens shun us as ihey pass us by.
Would angels bid us welcome to th
skj ?
I wonder what great crimes we have
com mitted
That leave us so forlorn and so ui=-
pitied;
Perhaps we've been ungrateful, unfor
giving;
'Tis plain to me that life's not worth
the living."
"Come, ccme, cheer up." the jovial
worm replied,
'•Let's take a look upon the other
Are we to blame for being caterpillars''
Will that same Goc£ hat doomed u> to
crawl the earln,
A prey toevery bird that's given birth,
B'orgive our captor as he eats and
sings
And damn poor us because we have
not w ings?
If we can't skim the air like owl or
bat.
A worm will turn 'for a' that.' "
They argued through the summer;
autumn nigh,
The ugly t bines composed themselves
to die,
And so to make tne funeral quite*
complete ,
Each wrapped him in his little wind
ing sheet.
The tangled web encompassed them
full soon,
Each lor his eoflln m de bimacocoon.
All through the 'schilling blast
they lay,
Dead to tiie w >rld, aye, dead as hum n
clay.
Lo! spring come forth with all h-r
warmth and love:
She brings sweet justice from tin
realms above;
She breaks the chrysalis, she resur
rects the dead:
Two butterflies ascend, encircling her
head.

Changeable Clinate
IS A CONSTANT THRSAT TO TH*
HEALTH OF THE PEOPLS.
Dr. Hartman, of Colombo®, Ohio,
discusses an Important health topic.
Be saya:
Yes, it Is the climate, not the germa,
that we have to fear In this country.
The germs are present, to be sure,
and are of some significance ia
diagnosis. Climate, a changeable
climate, Is the true cause of diseese.
The atmospherio pressure varies, the
humidity of the atmosphere changes.
Every day the temperature rises and
falls. All this presents to the body
very great trials to adjust to.
The area of high pressure forms Ini
the northwest. Moves rapidly south
east, subjecting millions of our
population to its Influence. The re
sult is, thousands upon thousands of
people catch cold. A small per cent,
of these thousands do not get well of
their cold. It goes Int® pneumonia.
or N chronlo catarrh, or bronchitis, or
laryngitis, or pleurisy.
Now, what I am getting at Is this.
Thes6 climatic changes are Inevitable.
No one can prevent them. The very
best we car, do is to prepare fer
them, defp&d. ourselves against them.
Good health is the best preventive.
The very beac. Vigorous health, witii
excess vitality, this is Nature's own
preventive and protection.
We do hot all have this* bowers®.
Some of us.must have assistance.
The assistance that I use for myself,
would recommend for my friends to
use, my neighbors and my country
men, is Pe*xu-na. Keep Pe-ru-na in
the house. -
If the children Indicate they ara
catching cokt, give them Pe-ru-na.
If the pa« nts, the grandfather or
grandmother, present those symptoms
that are so veil known which precede
a cold, a lev doses of Pe-ru-na and
the deed is dme.
Some peoi le are Terr subject to
colds. Otha» s> Who have weak lungs
and are timid about our winter
weather, t*kd Pe-ru-na off and on
during the -whole winter season.
The plan is.e good one. The medicine
is inexpensive.' It does no poasibls
harm to the system. It keepe the
appetite regular and keen. It as
sists digestion and helps the user
through the Inclement weather of
winter. , .
