were one J. P. and two overseers at
he meeting. We stayed until after
he middle of the evening and no
one else came, and we went home.
The last I saw of the J. P. and other
overseer, they mounted their horses
and went on the hunt of that lawa-
biding Secretary of the board of su
pervisors so they could transact some
business concerning the road. : As
we see the law. it requires all over
seers to work not less than 7 hours
nor more than 10 hours a day for 6
days in a year; in case of storm or
washout 10 days. Now, Mr. Chair
man, we have worked on our road
5 days within two and a half years,
and the road year don't end until
August. If you want to indict,, go
ahead. If the road law was enf ore-
led by J. P's and overseers,-the roads
would be in a better condition than
they are in general. Some say wtfrk
them by taxation. I don't., agree
with them unless we work by tax
alone. Our sister counties. Rowan
and Iredell, work by tax and the
hand system. Where does the mon
ey go? A few miles around town
gets it, and the outer edge of the
counties go without any except what
the hands do, and their money goes
around town. Some say let it go
there when you get to that road
you can trot right into town. We
want good roads at home as well as
away from home. If we are going
to work by the hand system, let's
work them as best we can with the
time we have to spend. If by tax

country is scoured over for new va
neties of seeds and theSe seeds are
bundled up and sent broadcast a
cross the continent to sections
where ihey have never grown and
in sections to which they are not
olimatized, and the result is they
make nothing, or about as good as
nothing, and the next year those
in authority spend the people's
money in a repetition ot this "free
seed" business and the farmer re
members hi3 failure the preceding
year and discards them in disgust.
But the only way that farmers can
ever hope to get measures passed
that they need and want is to let
their benators and congressmen
know what they desire and de
mand of them, and this they are

these representatives to sit up and

More Yadkin People Going West.
Statesville Landmark. ;
The constant migration of Yad
kin county people to the West has
often been noted and much of it is
ascribed to the fact that Yadkin
has no railroad and as a result of
being a back woods" county, not
withstanding its splendid natural
resources, is non progressive.
But with a railroad Jn sight for
Yadkin the people still flock to the
West and will doubtless continue
to do so it having become a habit
with them until the railroad is
built and the development oi the
couuty begins to show what can be
done at home.
This is preliminary to saying
that. accordine taT the Sentinel, 31
persons from Yadkin county and
oqe from Ashe passed through
Winston in two days last week
bound for different points ' in the
West, from Iowa to California.
This is only one batch. The emi
gration keeps up nearly all the
year.
How Many Do This.
'Happy Jack," a correspondent
of the Lumberton Robesonian, tells
of an occurrence that is not beyond
the range of possibility. Accord
ing to this correspondent, there is
a farmer in Robeson county who
accidentally and unwittingly nail
ed up his spectacles in a barrel of
potatoes which he shipped to a
Northern city and in the course of
time when he received a barrel of
seed potatoes ordered from afar,
lo, he found his spectacles in the
barrel, having received the self
same barrel he had shipped away.
"Nobody dcubts," says The Robe
sonian, "that he paid much more
for the barrel than he received for
it. That ought to serve to make
that particular victim and others
who may see this, a " little more
cautious about such things." In
stances of farmers p buy i ng back
their own products from the North
are unusual, but there are a few
authenticated cases on record,
' 'Happy Jack" may not be lying
about it. Charlotte Chronicle.

Deep Plowing Saves Fertilizer.
Statesville Landmark.
I want to tell the farmers that
the bst way to save fertilizer is to
plow, jand deep. I prefer plowing
with a sub-oil plow. If you have
not the subsoil use the old time
bull-tongue. I have plowed some
ofruyvtond 15 to 20 inches with
six horses My friends will say
they Vould do that too if they had
the horse power. I haven't got it
either. I change plowing With
my neighbor and you can do the
same ;With yours. I tried it last
year.; Plowing deep on the xland,
I sowed crimson clover and 90-day
oats. I cut it the 15th of May and
ou two acres of land the estimated
value: of the hay was ' $204. I
plowed it again with five horses
, and planted it in corn the 19th of
May " When I gathered the corn
I got 182 bushels off the land I
called two acres. But when Mr.
Mi llsa pa measured it he gave me
97 bushels lo the acre and that
gave me 194 bushels on two acres
and $24 worth of stover feed. My
expense on the two acres was $80.
They, counted out expenses ad
gave me 97 bushels of corn and
$63.13 clear profit to the acre, and
they said I beat the State on one
acre $20.19. - -
If We can do better farming by
deep plowing let's try it this ytar.

Right and Fair.
At the end of his first year as
President of the United States, we
venture to predict that by the time
i another March A. has rolled around
the American people will have come
to know William Howard Taft bet
ter than they know him now -to un
derstand him more thoroughly.
Their present disposition to believe
him earnest and sincere will havo
deepened into a conviction that he
is generally rijftit and always fair.
Looking back over the administra
tion's first year the preliminary and
introductory season, as it were we
agree with the Houston Post and
the Cleveland Leader that Mr. Taft
has "made good." At any rate, ho
has "done his best." Every honest
man and every honest newspaper
will wish him well today wish him
mighty well, as he enters upon the
second year of his administration.
He is the whole country's President
a red-blooded, broad-minded, pa
triotic, nation-loving President and
still William Howard Taft, the man.

yoti: use a fertilizer whose
only recommendation is its

of a fertilizer lies in the ma
