I Iron Station, N. 0., Sept. 25 11.-By the 10th of October the bulk of the cotton will have been picked in our section. Most of it has already opened. The crops is perhaps the lightest gathered for many years We notice that some of our . weather prophets are pre dicting that another dry season is likely to follow the one just past In this prediction the history of the past is against them. The writer has it from his father that the year 1846 following the drouth of 1845 was a good upland season. The year 81 which was the dryest summer ever experienced by the writer until this summer was fol lowed by a model season in 82. Already there is an eagerness on the part of some farmers to get bottom land for corn next year. "We think the wise farmer will not depend altogether on bottom land for corn next year. Better plant some on upland too. Don't lay too much stress on the words of the prophets Miss Bessie Heafner of Crouse who has charge of the primary department of the Denver school, tells your corres pondent that she is well pleased with her work and the people of Denver generally. This school is now equipped with a corps of good lady teachers and is prepared to do good work. Those who wish to take advantage of the high school department will find Den ver a healthy village surrounded by as good people as can be found anywhere. Mr. M. J. Shelton tells us that he is fitting up rooms and will rent them reasonably to students who wish to board them selves. Your correspondent took in the county meeting of the Far mers' Union at Denver last Satur day. An interesting programme was carried out to the letter. When our Union brethren of Den ver undertake to do a thing they don't do it by halves. A large and well behaved crowd attended the exercises. Brother H. - O. Proctor was master of cereitronies. A Methodist minister whose name we cannot now recall, led in prayer. Eev. Wagg of the Kock Springs circuit made the opening speech, and although knowing little of the aims and purposes of the Farmers' Union, gave the far mers some good advice. Eev. Wagg has a way of hitting the nau on the head that is very in teresting. Dr. Alexander, .our State president, the orator of the occasion was the next speaker. The Dr. was happily introduced by Eev. Wagg who said among other thiags that the Doctor's face would pass him anywhere. This is the first time it was ever our privilege . to take a peep at our State president and our opinion coincides exactly with Eev. Wagg's. His very features fore cast honesty and sincerity of pur pose. The Dr. held the rapt at tention of his aildience for an hour and a half. While he does not claim to be an orator, yet he is an interesting speaker, his earnest ness of manner more than making up for his lack of oratory. At the close of Dr. Alexander's speech dinner was announced. A long table had been prepared in the grove and it was literally cov ered with everything to tempt the palate. After the table was pre pared Mr. Doras Pool, photo grapher took a whack at the table and audience ' and it occurred to our mind that this was perhaps as hungry a set of mortals as ever was photographed. After all had eaten to their fill there remained enough on the table to feed Cox's army. It has been our good fortune to partake of a great many picnic dinners, but to our mind this was the best allround dinner of the kind we . ever enjoyed.-. After dinner the County Union went into executive session, in which the regular routine busi ness of the order was transacted. It was announced that the Union warehouse was nearly completed and would soon be ready for busi ness. We also ' srrned . that Mr. B. C. Wood had beta elected manager and we wish to congratu late those responsible on the wis dom of their choicer We don't believe a better selection could have been made Alpha.

On last Saturday I was called to see one Jule Link, color ed, in Ironton township and found his daughter with a severe case of smallpox. The General Assembly of 1911 has practically abolished the quarantine law of smallpox. Itsays, "That those who can, but will not protect them selves by vaccination must not look to the State for protec tion." When smallpox makes its appearance in a com munity or town, a public notice of its presence and the means for avoiding contracting it will be given through the local press and placards posted in conspicuous places. Those who then refuse or neglect vaccination can take the consequences, and little sympathy will they deserve if they contract the disease. Vaccination is a cheap and certain preventative easily within the reach of all. My advice to the citizens of Lincoln county, is to be vaccinated at once. Vaccination is sure and safe and NEVER KILLS, small pox is dangerous and DOES KILL. ' Jxo. W. Saine, M. D., Supt. Health, Lincoln County.

CHILDS NARROW ESCAPE Falls Into River But Manages to Keep Close to the Bank and is Rescued Within Three Feet of Deep and Dan gerous Hole, Which would Have Meant Certain Death. (Special to The Observer) Mooresville Sept. 26 Mr. J. W. Sherrill, a prosperous farmer ' of Dayidson township was in town this morning, and told your corres pondent of the singular conduct of a little tot, just 13 months old one of his granddaughters. Mr. and Mrs. Simpson Thompson live at the Houston Mayhew house, four hundred yards from the ferry Sherrill's ford. Mrs. Thompson left her little child asleep in the room, and after spending a short while in a field near the house, she went to look after the baby. She was very much alarmed to find that the little girl had crawled out of bed and walked out of the house to the river. When reaching 'the river landing, she walked off the boards into the sand and water, going down the stream probably two hundred feet, clinging near the east bank, where she was found several hours later by Mr. Thompson, who had tracked her to the rivers edge. The child was playing quietly, standing in the water, mud and sand. Had she gone three feet further, she would have been precipitated into a very deep and dangerous hole.

One On The Blacksmith , A rather 'simple looking lad halted before a blacksmith's shop on his way home from school and eyed the doings of thesproprietor with much interest. The brawny smith, dissatisfied by the boy's curiosity, held a piece of red-hot iron suddenly under the youngster's nose, hoping to make him beat a hasty retreat. "If you'll give me half a dollar I'll lick it," said the lad The smith took from his pocket half a dollar and held it out The simple looking youngster took the coin, licked it, dropped it in his pocket and walked slowly away whistling.

PASSENGER TRAIN WRECKED The Northbound Passenger Train On The C. & N. W. Ry. Runs Into An Open Switch Nine persons In jured. , The Northbound passenger train on the C. & N. W.

The train was running only twelve or fifteen miles an hour when it ran into an open switch.
