Raise Meat to Sell.
Do you know that meat is now higher
than it has been in nearly i a half cen
? no vou know that the number of
b0dS marketed has been gradually de
basing for the last few years? Do you
know that the average weight of hogs has
decreased to such an extent that, large
hams now command a higher price than
small ones, and heavy ribs more than
light ribs?
Do you know that the Southern farmer
is largely responsible for the high price of
mfiRt9 Let us look into the matter
..;;.Mk sn. The Southern
sec i1 .
, un-.P such a large consumer
jias uccu.-
Western corn that it is no longer neces
sary for the Western corn grower to feed
his corn to hogs in order to get a renu
merative price for it. Therefore he has
reduced the hog-raising industry and sold
his corn direct.
Thus it is that we, by consuming the
Westerner's corn, have made high-priced
hogs by decreasing the number marketed,
and by raising the priee of the feed on
which the hog is fattened.
From the great demand for brood sows,
I think the Southern farmer has already
discovered the remedy and has gone to
work to apply it.
What about feed for those sows and
pigs? You must go to work at once to
raise it. Order five pounds of dwarf es
sex rape, which will cost less than 50
cents. Prepare an acre of land just as
you would for turnips, manure or fertilize
it well and plant the rape in rows twenty
inches to two feet apart. Drill the seed
i n very shallow furrows and cover by
dragging a light pole over the ground.. In
eight weeks you will have fine grazing for
your hogs. The rape will grow hog feed
in less time than any other crop. If you
cannot fence the lot you can pull the rape
.and feed it to the hog yi hlaVShn. J
Plant a patch -of good land hrearfy am
ber sorghum to cut for the hogs after the
rape. Speckled peas can be grown to fill
in after the cane, and by that time your
6oy beans, the best of all grazing crops
for hogs, will be ready to finish up the
fattening process in the fall. You should
plant them in May just as you would cot
ton. Do not cover more than one and a
half or two inches deep, especially in
cold sandy land. Do not plant near a
thicket where rabbits are plentiful. If
you do they will eat the beans off just
after they get up. Soy beans are cheap
er than field peas this spring and should
be sown for hay. There is no finer feed
for horses or cattle than soy bean hay.
My brood sows are grazing now on alfalfa
which has grown four or five inches , dur
ing the last ten days. I suggest that ev
ery farmer, who is fanning his own land,
fix up a small patch of ground at once
and sow in alfalfa to experiment with.
iou wont regret having done so if you
finally succeed in getting a catch; and
think you will. But don't neglect to ma
mire well and also to apply lime. Alfalfa

for some time.
The fellow who fails to pay his
poll tax by May 1st, will be dis
franchised, let him; be democrat,
republican, prohibitionist, social

vote this fall you had better bor-
row the money and pay your tax.
Wonder what has become of the
mocking bird and its song that we
once heard so much about. The
sound of the pistol is . heard more
often in this section than the song
of the mocking bird. : Perhaps the
birds have all migrated to Halifax
county. ;
Only a few months until the
woods will be full of office hunters,
who will spend their time shaking
hands with the dear people and
kissing ugly babies... Only a few
menths and the pie- hunters will
forget the dear people the morn
ing after the election.

The Scotland Neck Case.
Chatham Record. -
The shooting of Messrs. Travif,
Kitchin and Dunn at Scotland
Neckj on last Friday, was most nn
provoked, and yet it is probable,
certainly possible, that their assa
ilant will escape any punishment,
because of course he will 'plead
"emotional insanity' ' or a "brain
storm," or some other of the many
flimsy excuses on which murderers
are acquitted.
While of course it is as much
murder to shoot one man as anoth
er, whether he be rich or poor, ob
scure or prominent, yet the promi
nenee of the three men shot in this
tripple tragedy may be the means
of the law being avenged and their
assailant properly punished. It is
certainly earnestly hoped so. There
have been so many miscarriages of
justice in the trial of ranrderers in
thte State, that it seems almost im
possible to convict one who has
money enough to employ lawyers
who can influence an ignorant jury.
If it were not for the negroes,
that electric chair at Raleigh would
be a nuisance. No white man is
ever sentenced to death in this
state, unless it be a poor, friend-,
less devil who has no money or
character. The law should be en
forced, let the guilty parties be
rich or poor. Editor. -. ;

A Good Man Gone.
On Friday, March . 18th, about
one o'clock, the death angel vif ited
our community and took from our
midst our friend and neighbor, Mr.
Haynes Shelton. He had been
confined to his bed six days with
pneumonia. Mr, Shelton was a
good christian man loved by all
who knew him. He was a kind
husband and loving father. He
will not only bemis-ed in his home
but in the community also, ue
leaves a wile and eleven children
besides a host of . relatives and
friends to mourn his loss. His
body was interred in the cemetery
at Pino. May God, comfort tne oe-
raved ones and prepare them to
meet their loved one in the golden
city where there is no parting nor
sorrow, is the wish of

will so n be raised. Make it clear
to these farmers that they will not

A How Charlotte Got It,
A meanin' of no harm, we may
be permitied to quote what a well
known politician, not a resident of
Greensboro, said recently as-to
why the Democratic convention is
going to Charlotte. Tha; place,"
said the gentleman, "was wide
gen for a fact two years., ago,
Charlotte says, 'come back boys,
and we will doit again.? Greens
boro Says, 4 we are short on i the
stuff; we haven't enough 'for our
own use; let's don't divide; let
Charlotte have it.' And she got
it." All of which is respectfully
submitted. Greensboro Record.
