The Boone Cabin Completed
r;nston Journal.
' Tnrinffton, Jan. 25, The log
cabin vrhich the Dansel Boone Me
morial Association ordered built
on the traditional site of the cabin
of the Booue family in Bcone town
ship, this county, has been com
pleted, It is as nearly as -possible
an exact reproduction of the orig
inal. The workmen, in digging a
new foundation, came across a num
ber of old dishes, which are sup
posed to have belonged to the pio
neer's family. The association, of
which Col. John S. Henderson, of
Salisbury is president, was incor
porated by the last legislature.
Recently it raised nearly $200 to
build this cabin, which it purposes
to tarn Into a museum, placing in
it relics of the Boones, of which
there are several, a8 . well as ar
ticles belonging to the pioneer and
colonial periods.
Io May a big celebration will be
held, at which distinguished speak
ers will be present and a picnic
dinner given. .''
The spot, on the banks of the
Yadkin, is about as wild as it was
rhen the great pioneer first saw it.
It is a picturesque place and the
association congratulates itself on
tbe acquisition of three acres of the
land, given by Mr. Phillip Sowers
d Rowan county.
A Southern Industry.
An industry which is developing
4
ia the South and which offers "at
tractions in many ways is that of
canning sweet potatoes. So many
portions of the Southeast are great
producers of sweet potatoes that
this branch of the canning industry
should develop into a very large one.
Sweet potatoes will run from 150 to
oW-Dasneis per acre, ana soia- as . a
farm crop are very profitable. The
demand for canned sweet potatoes
in many portions of the country is
large and is increasing and the mar
ket can readily be extended over the
whole country. This industry is
wily one which is developing in th$
Southeast, out of the ordinary lines,
and is but another illustration of
the varied resources of that terri
tory which may be utilized in mak
ing the lands more valuable, and in
emphasizing the opportunities which
await in the various sections of the
Southeast the man who is looking
for a new home and a new business.

To Our Friends.
We are making preparations to
move our office from the Masonic
building to the hall over Angel's
brick store, on 2JV Main street,
where we will have more floor
space and light. We want to get
into our new quarters by the first
of next month. How, those who
never moved a printing office can
not conceive the amount of worry
and expense this simple announce
ment entails. Our subscribers are
not asked to share the worry with
urs, uuii wc want io earnestly reJ
quest all those who are owing us
on subscription, to call and settle,
or send in the amount. This is
not asking for much on your part,
as we are only pleading for what
yon justly owe us. Many of our
best subscribers have let their sub
scription fall behind, and as a re
sult, there are several hundred
men who should come to our res
cue now. We cannot auord to
send out statements to all who are
owing us, and we trust that you
will bring or send your renewal at
once. Your support means much
to us at this time. We have wait
ed patiently on you, and now ask
for your help. Will you help us?
To Patrons of Rural Routes.
Postmaster Morris, of this city,
has received the following letter
from the Fonrth Assistant Post
master General:
Tn view of the extent to which
the practice of placing loose coins
in boxes by rural patrons has
grown, and the delay in the deliv
ery and collection of mail and the
hardship imposed on rural carriers
inrident thereto, you are informed
that, commencing Feb. 15, proxi-
'istf? i a far iettfer carrier w it noi
be reauired. to collect loose coins
from rural mail boxes.
J "Patrons should enclose coins in
an envelope, wrap them securely
in a piece of paper, or deposit them
in a coin-holding receptacle, so
they can be easily and quickly ta
keu from boxes, and carriers will
be required to lift such coins, and,
where accompanied by mail for
dispatch, attach the requisite
Btaraps."
It is recommended that patrons
supply themselves with stamps and
attach to their mail before putting
same in box, as it is very difficult
for carriers to do so when their
ficgers are stiff with .cold. '
Cash Subscription Papers.
Charlotte Observer. .. :
Every week or so some weekly
paper in this State drops into line
with the announcement that after
a certain date it will adopt the
cash in-advance system on its sub
scription list. The Oxford Ledger
ger is the latest to make the change
stating that the new rule will go
into effect Februarv 15, thus giv
ing subscribers plenty of time to
pay up arrearages and to conform
to the new rule of the future.
Probably every paper in the State
could with advantage adopt some
such rule, especially the weeklies
and semi-weeklies. Why should
subscribers to these papers expect
to be carried on the subscription

THE HOOKWORM.
When Johnny shirks his lessons
And lies a-bed all day,
And Lizzie leaves the dishes
For ma to put away,
The children are not lazy,
So get the doctor quick,
It is the little hook worm
And both of them are sick. .
We wrong the homeless hobo
By calling him a tramp,
The hookworm in" bis system
Has simply pitched its camp.
And when we're slack aud shiftless
We need not blush for shame
Nor utter lame excuses,
The hookworm is to blame.

When the dimpled baby's hungry,
what does the baby do?
It doesn't lie serenely and merely
sweetly coo;
The hungry baby bellows with all
; , its little might
Till some one gives it something to
curb its appetite.
The infant with the bottle which
stills its fretful cries
A lesson plainly teaches: It pays to
advertise.
The lamb lost on the hillside when
darkness closes round
Stands not in silence trembling and
'. ' waiting to be found;
Its plaintive bleating echoes across
' the vales and meads
Until the shepherd hears it, and,
hearing, kindly heeds,
And when its fears are ended, as on
. his breast it lies,.
The lamb has made this patent: It
- . pays to advertise.
The fair and gentle maiden who
loves the bashful boy
Assumes when in his presence a man
ner that is coy-
She blushes and she trembles till he
perceives at last,
And clasps her closely to him and
gladly holds her fast.
And as he bends to kiss her and as
she serenely sighs, . -
This fact is demonstrated: It pays
to advertise. .

children, and He said to Adam be
cause he obeyed the woman aud
not the Lord, therefore dust thou
art and uuto dust thou shalt re
turn, the most meloncholy expres
sion uttered within the lids of the
old Testament. Thus you see by
Adam and Eve's transgression is
caused all the wickeduess which
has ever been perpetrated upon
Adam's race through all the ages.
And according to the information
from sacred writing, if obedience
in lien of disobedience, during the
days of Adam and Eve had pre
mailed, that the human race today
would not be connected with any
of the violations of the laws of the
Eord, but would be fit subjects for
adoiisiou into a better world.
