When roads are rough and

it's when you make your wagon

You want a wagon that will stand

qualities. But best of all, the "HACKNEY" gives
you value which you will appreciate, and you will
remember it's wearing qualities long after you for

The next thing Is to dress for

It Is not a disgrace to perspire. It

Hegulate your diet to fit the

Enforce the law.
Lenoir News.
There Is not anything that cre
ates a greater contempt for the law
than the tax enforcement of It.
Laws or placed on the statute
books presumably for enforcement,
and not for the purpose of display
ing the erudition of a few legisla
tors, who are paid to spend every
whiter in Raleigh. The makers of
the laws have no concern In their
enforcement, except as private cit
izens. Both county and town have
paid officers whose duty it Is to see
that the laws are obeyed. All these
officers are very vigilant when It
conies to enforcing little town or
dinances against some poor fellow
who happens to have taken a lit
tle too much whiskey, and per
chance makes a misstep or two in
walking down the street. but
who is at no time offensive or dis
orderly. At the same time an au
tomobile may come whizing around
the corner at the rate of 5u miles
an hour, recklessly disregarding the
right of the public and endanger
ing the lives of a score of citizens,
and our officers look on with In
difference, forgetting the fact that
they are dally paid by the people
to detect and bring to Justice those
who by their reckless conduct, show
no regard for the rights of law
abiding citizens.

Cotton Condition to 17th.
Monroe. N. C, July 17. 1913.
The Commercial Appeal,
Memphis, Tenn.
Dear Sirs:
Cotton Is marking time, no pro
gress having been made for a week.
This has been due to coot nights,
drying winds, and a lack of precip
itation. Cultivation Is all that
could be desired, but the plant Is
exceedingly and distressingly amall
for the time of the.year. A group
of the best farmers of the county,
discussing this feature of the situ
ation here yesterday, agreed that
the average height of the plant Is
not In excess of six inches. Blooms
are rare, even In the best fields.
Condition to date, 77 per cent.
