A WAYFARER'S FANCIES.
The Nut Shell.
A trust is a horrible thing-, if you
are not in it.
Your enemy is glad to have you
waste time hammering him. There
fore, don't.
The bass horn may be heard two
miles, but the violin is king of the
orchestra.
The elephant is the most powerful
of beasts, but the jackass has him
beat a block on noise.
Instead of abusing the world, try
your hand at making your part of it
less deserving of abuse.
The fact that a man doesn't call
you a liar, is not proof that he be
lieves all that you are saying.
The mouse may think himself a
lion. Do not trouble yourself to un
deceive him, for it is "harmless
error."
Your wisdom may be exceeding
great. Be careful, therefore, lest
you over-awe and discourage those
less favored.
Money panics should be abolished.
They hurt all honest men, and fur
nish excuse and protection to many
L rogue.
Do riot talk too frequently of the
mighty deeds you have done, lest
you meet with some son-of-a-gun
who will investigate.
This is the best world I know any
tning about, and a sudden change of
climate might injure my constitu
tion. Will remain until forced to
leave.
The March winds and the equinoc
tial gales we have in their season;
but the fellow who blows about his
big income, we have always with us
save only at tax-listing time.
Arkansas Goes Dry.
Little Rock, March 1. After
three days of hard fighting, the
state wide prohibition bill passed
the house this afternoon, 53 to 27.
A bill to submit prohibition to a
vote of the people was defeated,
44 to 35. A measure was intro
duced to prohibit the sale of Coca
Cola. Modern Political Speech.
Tell how glad you are to greet
such an intelligent audience. Laud
your party to heaven. Preach the
opposing party iuto hades. Men
tion your opponent's name. If you
are a better man than he is, or if
you have the crowd on him, abuse
and make fun of him. If the
crowd cheers, repeat the above un
til your time is out; and close by
saying you are sorry you hadn't
time to discuss all the issues. This
is a modern campaign speech.
The NutShell.
A bill "to prohibit the sale of
intoxicating liquors within four
miles of a certain school in district
No. 4, Bladen county," passed the
Legislature a few days ago. Sever
al similar bills were introduced
during the session and one can but
wonder, seeing that we have a
State Prohibition law that prohibits
the sale of liquor anywhere except
in medical depositories and drug
stores. Some ot the legislative re
porters could make good copy by
explaining some of these mysterious
local measuaes. Surely the drug
store liquor trade hasu't become so
numerous" (as they used to say
in south Iredell) that it is disturb
ing schools Statesville Landmark.
Should be There.
We notice that some lawmakers
have to go home and be gone from
their post of duty for a week at a
time. Most of them are lawyers
and they have to go home and look
after their clients get their foes,
doubtless. Don't blame them for
wanting their fees. If like the
rest of us poor devils, they need
them. But they are needed some
'where else and they should remain
where-the people put them.
Lame Shoulder.
Whether resulting from a sprain
or from rheumatic pains, there is
nothing' so good for a lame shoulder

It freely and rub the parts vigorously
at each application and a quick cure

Mr. Shoaf Convicted of Mistreat
ing Fields Child Noted Case
Tried at Last.
In Davidson Superior Court at
Lexington, a few days ago, the case
against II. B Shoaf and wife, in
dicted for brutally mistreating a
little girl named Fields, who had
beeu let t in their care at Thomas
ville, was tried. Shoaf was con
victed and Mrs. Shoaf aquitted.
Shoaf was sentenced to four months
on the roads.
This case attracted the attention
of the State, if not. the country, at
the time. Months aero probably
early last summer, it was discov
ered that the Fields child, who had
beeu left in charge of the Sboafs
at Thomasville, was beiDg inhu
manly treated. It was alleged that
she was beaten until her body was
almost a mass ot sores; that in
other ways the child's treatment
was such as no humane person
would administer to a brute. Pub
lic indignation was aroused. Shoaf
and his wife were arrested and
jailed in Lexington. Rumors of a
mob forming to lynch them caused
the officials to carry the prisouers
to Charlotte, where they remained
awhi!e and were released on bonds
of $500 each. The trial was put
off from one court to another, final
ly coming up a few days ago after
the general public had about for
gotten the incident. Ex.
Roosevelt, Wilson and Pinchot Join
the Farmers7 Union.
A few days ago President Roose
velt (he was President then), Sec
retary of Agriculture Wilson and
Gifford Pinchot, government fores
ter, were made full-fledged "far
mers," having been admitted ''on
sight" to membership in the Xaii
onal Farmers' Union. The honors
were conferred by Pi esident Charles
S. Barrett, of Union City, Ga , ot
the National Farmers' Union, who,
with other officials of the Union,
was in Washington at the time.
The action did not pass, however,
without criticism, some of the
members of the Uniou holding that
Barrett exceeded his authority in
the matter. Ex.
Price of Foodstuffs Jump, Notwith
standing Depression.
Nenton Enterprise.
The strange and the hard feature
of the present depression in busi
ness is the abnormally high price
of flour, meats aud all kinds of
foodstuffs for man and stock.
While all kinds of manufacturing
business is languishing and the
managers facing the strong pro
bability ot having to further reduce
wages of laborers and curtail work,
the cost of living is increasing.
The lesson that this should teach
Southern farmers, at the thresh
hold of another planting season, is
to iuciease their grain crops,
specialize more on meats and the
by-products of the farm and raise
less cotton. Low price cotton sold
to buy foodstuffs, will this year
prove a losing business. Aud a
10,000,000 bale crop of cotton will
bring more money than either a
12,000,000 or 14,000,000 bale crop.
From Alexander and Had Never
Seen a Train.
A family consisting of a man
and his wife aud several children
arrived in Statesville Wednesday
morning on the train from Taylors
ville and left on No. 36 for a point
in Virginia. While sitting in the
waiting room of the Statesville sta
tion the woman, who is apparently
about 35 or 40 years old, remarked
to another passenger that she lived
some distance from Taylorsville
and that the train on which she
rode to Statesville from Taylors
ville was the first she had ever
seen. It is assumed that it was
also the first the children had ever
seen. Statesville Landmark.

Attempted Express Robbery a Fake.
Winston Journal.
It is pretty generally reported
that the great express robbery that
was not pulled off at Mt. Airy
Monday night, February 22, was
simply a fake. It is said that the
officers have been able to obtain no
clue whatever and after investiga
tion the conclusion seems to be that
the whole thing was a cooked-up
affair. It is ungenerously hinted
that the express messenger was in
search of a little notoriety.
Prof. H. A. Howell, of Havana, Cuba,
Recommends Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy.
'As long-a jro as I can remember
my mother wa& a faithful user and
friend of Chamberlain's Cou-h lie
medy, but never in my life have I re
alized it3 true value until now,"
writes Prof H. A. Howell, of Howell's
American School, Havana, Cuba.
"On the night of February 3rd our
baby was taken sick with a very se
vere cold; the next day was worse and
the following- night his condition was
desperate. He could not die down
and it was necessary to have him in
thearmsevery moment. Even then
his breathing was difficult. I did not
think he would live until morning.
At last I thought of my mother's re
medy, Chamberlain's Cougli Remecty,
which we gave, and it affordey
prompt relief, and now three days
later, he has fully recovered. Under
the circumstances I would not hesi
tate a moment in saying that Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy, and that
only, saved the life of our dear little
boy." For sale by C. C. Sanford Sons

Notice to Magistrates.
"It shall be the duty of each Jus
tice of the Peace on or before Mon-
,i 4? j- c iu c : !
uay ot every term 01 tue oupeiiui,
Criminal or Inferior Court of his
I County to furnish the Clerk of said
court with a list of the names and
offenses of all parties tried and fin
ally disyosed of by said justice of the
peace, together witk the papers in
each case in all criminal actions since
the last term of the Superior, Crim
inal or Inferior court. The clerk of
the Court shall hand a copy of such
j list to the solicitor and to the grand
jury at each term of the court, and
no indictment shall be found against
any party whose case has been so
finally disposed of by any Justice of
the Peace:
Provided, That this section shall I
not be deemed to extend or enlarge!
! or otherwise affect the jurisdiction
of Justices of the Peace, except as
provided by law." Code Sec. 906.
"For failure to make the above
report as to pay over fines to the
Countv Treasurer. See Code Sees.
764, 765, 8678."
It is believed that many Magis
trates, through inadvertance of
course, fail to report all fines, etc.
In this way the school fund suffers
materially.
To make it easy for Magistrates,
the State Supt. has caused to be
printed a blank form of Magistrate's
report. A copy of this form has
been sent to every Magistrate in
Davie county, whose address is
known. Others can get a copy on
application to the County Supt. or
to the Clerk of tke Court.
The Magistrates of Davie county
are requested to send to the Clerk
of the Court a full report of all
cases disposed of, for the pst three
years, save those previously sent in
by them. Those failing to send in
their report before Monday of Court
will be reported to the Solicitor and
to the grand jury. J. D. Hodges.

THE CURSE OF THE SOUTH.
What is the matter with the South? According to Government renot t
of 1908. "The Secret is out at Last:" The Southerner, contrary to cur
rent opinion is not Lazy, Shiftless, Indifferent, or Careless. "He is Sick."
The South is afflicted with and harbors that most dreaded treacherous and
destructive of all diseases, Anemia, Pernicious Anemia. The average
Southerner is a sufferer of this Health destroying Parasite which destroys
the red blood cells producing an impoverished condition of the Blood;
which is characterized by extreme Pallor, General Debilitv, Weakness,
Loss of Vigor Lack of Ambition, and general undermining of Vitality.
The Climate and Atmospheric conditions destroy the Vitality. Let him
get over it, get rid of it, get well, and he is as good physically as the best
America can boast. If there is health of the slightest degree in your tys
tem, Wake it up, call it forth. Pull yourself together, man, wot an or
child; all can and should be well. To neglect yourself is to reflect upon
the wisdom of your Maker. Nature intends all Humanity to enjoy a full
measure of Health and Vigor. If you do not, the fault is your own, for
you are yourself to blame for it. Wonders have been accomplished for
the People oZ Tennessee, Georgia, Alabama and Mississippi. Iet us now
do as much for the People of the Carolinas. A postal will bring you the
necessary information. Send no money. Write today. Don't neglect
