The large acreage of grain and number of livestock promote a type of progress iveness that others might follow to advantage. The cotton and tobacco ills do not seriously bother this ceun- : ty. The lands are of that type of clay that permits of rapid and enduring improvement. Co-operative market- ing has been enjoyed here for several years. , Most farms are operated by owners. There are practically no pas tures or permanent meadow lands in Lincoln County. Forty two per cent of the entire-area of the county is un der cultivation, 80 per cent in timber lands, 9 per cent in waste lands and 8 per cent in grass or pasture lands. The percentage of the total cultivated area planted to the various crops are: corn 36.1 per cent; cotton 22.1 per cent; Irish potatoes .8 per cent; sweet potatoes .9 per cent; wheat 14.8 per cent; rye for grain .7 per cent, rye for hay .3 per cent; oats for grain 8.6 per centjoats for hay 1.8 per cent peanuts .3 per cent; field peas for grain 3.6 per cent; field peas for hay 2.7 per cent; soy beans for grain .6 per cent; soybeans for hay .5 per cent; clover 4.9 per cent, truck other than potatoes .6 per cent; home gar dens .7 per cent, sorghum, cane 2.3 jet cent.

Barring , the "phony" stock salesman, the dispen ser of "phony" checks has probably the most profitable field of operation of all the faker multitude.

He work ed the old game made a small pur chase and tendered a check for a lar ger amount in payment, receiving the difference in cash. This is so com mon that it would not be worth notice but for one feature that is not alto gether common presenting a check "apparently certified." The certified check-flasher man appears at.

Some day, when " some one who knows has time, this paper would be pleased to hear why it is thrt expe rienced business men will so readily cash checks for utter strangers; why, in order to sell a few dollars' worth of stuff, they will take chances on los ing the stuff and a much larger sum in cash.

They follow: "The still was located near the top of a high mountain, and it was im possible for us to get into it undetec ed, as watchers were stationed. The still was in full blast on our approach, but no operators were in sight. There was a batch of manure from a hog pen by the side of the distillery, and the .operators were using this in the beer. The oder goven off from the condenser, was nauseating, smell ing worse than a pig pen in hot weather.

The building will be of brick and contain 1Q - class . rooms- ,. It will accommo- . date 11 grades, domestic science and manual training. The money for this building was provided in the campaign conducted in 1919 by Meth odists of the Western North Carolina conference. The trustees also au thorized Superindent Wood to have a modern dairy barn erected as soon -as the funds for same can be provided. An appeal will be made to the churches to raise $6,000 for this work on Easter Sunday. If a child is trained to take a pride in cleaning and beautifying the home lawn and grounds, that child, growh. to maturity, will have a beautiful home of its own. If it is allowed to "grow up with the weeds" there will be overplus of weeds ia its adult life. Two everyday facts worth daily consideration.
