THE DAVIE RECORD HAS A CIRCULATION LARGER THAN THAT OF ANY PAPER PUBUSHED IN DAVIE COUNTY AND OUR BOOKS WILL PROVE IT m Tl CORD Vol. IX. MOCKSVILLE. N. C. THURSDAY. JULY 2. 1908. No. 52 DAY t Stings From The Yellow Jacket Johny Johnson, don t you cry, you'll be a dead duck, bye and bye. A man he was, of ponderous jaw, and raven locks, some like a lion he made a burst irith books and lar, the peerless, fearless, Willie Bryan . But when his jaw in action got; the gate receipts were pulled sky high luug testers always got red hot when Bully Billy yelled Ki Ki. An editor of a western paper re cently stated that he had been kissed by one of the most beautiful married women in the town. He promised to tell her name in the first ibsue of his paper next month. In two weeks the circulation of his paper doubled. But when he gave the name of his wife he had to leave town. The latest from New York is to the effect that a "simple lite col ony," where men, women, and children will go naked and the men are to never cut their hair or beards, will be started this fall near Vera Cruz, Mexico, by Gustaf H. Ander, well known in the Socialistic circles and who now lives at 22 East 76 street, New York. More than fifty persons have become his followers and have promised to sail for the tropics when he sails. Ander ex pects by September 1st to have 500 people with the same ideas he has. "When we get down to Mexico," he says, "we will get rid of all our clothes. Of course some of us will hold on to a few bits, naturally. But before long, when we have all become pure in heart, we will have no need for even fig leaves." It is remarkable that this fellow Andre could think of going off to Mexico before voting for his darling Debs for president." But of course there will be charms in the tropica. Yea gods, what next? " Hot Shot From The Caucasian. If Mr. Craig is defeated for the Democratic nomination for Gover nor, he might later try for a place on the Supreme Conrt bench. It is said that about eight years ago he had high aspirations for such a position. Hoke Smith was defeated in his race tor re-election as Governor of Georgia, and the News and Obser ver and Glenn thought it a calam ity, but several of the Georgia papers say that business is already improving in that State. In his speech at Wadesboro last Saturday Mr. Craig lamented the act that the gubernational cam paign has grown so bitter, and said that-fore-knowledge of such would have kept him out of the running. It is not too late yet for Mr. Craig o withdraw, as the campaign promises, to get much warmer be fore the end, and the convention at Charlotte will be just a little above he boiling point. Plowed up English Gold. A report says that Willie Tbomp- son plowed up about $2,000 of English gold in a field near Saxa- pahaw, Alamance, county, one day ast week. He and his brother were plowing a field, when one of hem discovered one piece of mon ey, it soon developed that there was a rotten wooden box in the ground in whieh many years ago had been placed 413 pieces of Brit ish money of' the pound sterling denominations, each piece being worth about five . dollars i Hot Shot From The Vindicator. Sevierville is on the boom, one editor was arrested for drunkenness and the other for 'swearing a lie. We are glad to state that our Becorder has recently- reformed and does not consume , more than two gallons of corn juice .-per day now. This is a pretty good record lor a temberande (?) leader in a - dry town. " ' - We know it would be to our in terest if whiskey could be voted out of existence but so long as tem perance leaders keep their breath flavored with s veet smelling spices our appetite will cry out for our portion. Work was commenced on the Knoxville, Sevierville and Eastern Railroad, near Knoxville, Monday, June , iyus. xnis is good news for the citizens of Sevier county, as n now loots like we are soon going to have connection with the ousmess worm, bevier county is a rich county in' natural resources and a railioad will give stimulus to all kinds of industries in the county, and bring greater prosper lty to all classes of our people. Y e predict that a , wave prosperity is now on the eve of striking Sevier county and will continue until our county is oue of the richest counties in the State of Tennessee." v . ; . School Girls Lose Trunks. Wednesday night after the clos mg exercises at Winthrop College, itock Hilh S. C, 99 trunks belong mg to tne-'youne ladies -were sent to the depot and loaded ona bag: gage car; and during the night the car caugnt nre and was consumed, and ninety and nine charmers woke up lhursday morning to find that they had no clothes except what they wore the the night before The railroad company is said to te responsible to tUe" extent of 1100 per trunk, $9,900 cash. There was weeping and wailiug when tie girls found out their1 fate. Tie boys pictures and the billy do and the ribbons and things "vuz" gone, turned to, cold, wet ashes bown by the railroad tracks, . - in our that the money, it is supposed money was buried in time of the revolutionary war by some English soldiers. Not long ago in the same community some English gold was discovered by a man splitting wood, he gold having been put in a hole bored in a tree and plugged, and he man's axe turned light on it after more than a century.- Ex. Land Deeded to Jesus Christ Kansas City Star. Apeculiar deed discovered "by abstractor of Randolph county, conveys 120 acres of land near Darksville to Jesus Christ, says the Stoutsville Banner. The deed had been made in 1850 by Johnson Wright and Eliza Wright, his wife, and had never been contest ed. The descendants of the fam ily had held -the property "in trust" and had thrived upon it. The story is tnat being very pious this old couple wished to return by deed of will and law to their Saviour the mateiial blessing which He had conferred on them in this life. BUSINESS LOOKING UP. In looking over the bnsiness world the past, week, prosperity wooers were greatly encouraged by the news of commercial activities and industrial resumptions on the 1st of June, and at the same time the commercial agencies reported for May a decided decrease in the number of failures and in, the vol ume of defaulted indebtedness. The shading of steel prices stimu lated buying and building opera tions, and a big order for Russian rails steadied the market. . At St. Louis alone thousands of men went back to work, and in New England mills resumed on full time, while good crop reports come from every quarter. All things considered and with the Republican National Con vention over and the next Presi dent nominated, with policies and principles practically assured, as outlined in the Republican Nation al platform, there is no reason why bnsiness should not be resumed as usual in every department and an other era of prosperity prevail throughout the length and dreadth of the United States. Union Re publican. N Brandy This Summer. "I'm going: to have me some apple and peach brandy made and lay it away," is a Common remark these daysv The coming drouth is one reaT son for the leaning toward storage, and the good crop is another. For several years there has been so little fruit that brandy was scarce. This year there is a large fruit crop, es pecially in the mountains. The Wilkes Patriot says that there will be a hundred distilleries in Wilkes alone, 50 in Yadkin county and 25 in Alle ghany. It is the last call for supper. Fired by Robbers. The store of Webb Brothers, gen eral merchants on the-Mocksville road, seven miles from Statesville, was burned to the ground one night last week and it is believod that rob bers did it. The loss is $1,000, with a little insurance. Officers are in vestigating the case. Republican Club Gains Members. Industrial News. Without making any particular fuss about it the Greensboro Re publican club is steadily increasing its membership, some twenty-five new members having been added during the past week. Those who have been promoting the organization say that those who ! have joined have done so willingly and enthusiastically, many of them havihe been formerly allied with the Democratic party. The club expects to reach a mem bership of five liundred or more by the time the campaign is in lull a . ;ii i ji 8 wing. Arrangements win oe maue to, have prominent speakers here to discuss the issues between the parties and some of these speakers will be men of national importance. Quite a number of old-line Repub licans have not yet joined the civb, possibly thinking that it is mostly for the recruits who desire to af filiate with the party. The club management wants all Republicans both old and new, to join in the movement to unbuild the party in Guilford. -s ' Postage Agreement With England. Postmaster General Meyer an nounce 1 , that an agreement had been reached with the British gov ernment providing for a better pos tage of two cents an ounce between the United States and Great Britian and Ireland, to become ope rati ve October 1, 1908 The rate has pre viously been five cets for one ounce, with a decreasing ratio for letters weighing more. ; A Chatham ibu tv mule, after SPRING IS HERE And it is time that you pur chase that piece of jewelry for the spring suit.
