i: V Y - i. i: 'HERE SHALL THE PRESS. THE PEOPLE'S RIGHTS MAINTAIN; UNA WED BY INFLUENCE AND UNBRIBED BY GAIN." VOLUMN XI. MOCKSVILLE, NORTH CAROLINA, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 20, 1910. NUMBER 41. INTERESTING LETTER BY UNCLE ZEKE TO FARMERS He Gives Some Good Advice and Infor- j .nation as to What to Raise Say Hogs and Corn Will Pay Better Than Cotton Thi Year. I read in a daily paper the other (lay that steamboats were coming into Xew Orleans loaded down with live hogs instead of cotton bales. And they were raised by Southern planters, too somewhere in Louisiana, I believe it was stat ed. Hurrah for the Southern planter and farmer! This shows how readily he can adapt himself to new conditions. When hogs on foot reach 10 and 11 cents a pound he sees where the money is and drops off a little cotton to join, the hog procession. We have nothing to say, against cotton, for that brings a good price too. Kaise all ol it you can, but raise some corn and hogs also. Let the scales tip a little toward the side that pays best. Every planter and fanner ought to at least raise his own meat, and for this year it looks like there will be more money in core and hogs than in cotton. I should at least put a number of my best acres, in corn and fatten hogs next fall, also have clover, cow peas and other posture during the summer. Why not also have a ge)d of soy beans to hog off before you begin finishing your hogs with corn ? Theie is said to be nothing better than soy beans, if so good, to make cheap pork. I haven't the figures befere me, but. according to tests made, I think the cost with soy beans has been reduced to one third or one-fourth of what it was with coan alone; it pays for the farmer to get down to bottom facta on all these things, and it is not so hard to do so if we go at it in the right way. for our State experiment stations and the general govern ment are always making tests and experiwents on such lines. Is your coru ground ready This depends upon how far north you live. Sod land should have been turned last fall and then disk ed this spring before planting. You can't have your seed bed too well prepared if you want to make a bumper crop of corn. The soil needs to be loose as an ash bank, aud full of humus down to a depth of ten inches, but it may take years to reach this fine state of tilth where the land has been plowed shallow and poorly worked. Too much raw clay should not be turned up at one time. The safer plan is to tilt your kerf at an angle of forty degrees instead of laying it over flat. This will distribute raw clay, humus, manuae and surface litter through the entire mass. Home and Farm. One Conductor Who Was Cared. Mr. Wilford Adams is his name, and be writes about it. "Some time ago I was confined to ray bed chronic; rheumatism. I used two bottles ol Fole.v 's Kidney Remedy with good effect, and the third bot tle put me on my feet and I resum ed work as conductor on the Lex ington, Ky; Street Railway. It gave me more releif than any med icine I had ever used, and it will uo an you claim in cases of rheu matism." Foley's Kidney Remedy J cures rheumatism bv eliminating the uric acid from the blood. Sold by all druggists. LEST WE SHOULD FORGET IT. The Statesville Landmgrk Expresses its Opinion on the Shemwell Case. It has been suggested that Gov. Kitchin's action in the Shemwell case will hnrt him politically. If the people generally would disap prove the Governor as heartily as they have dissaproved his action in this case, the result would certainly be disasterous to the Gov ernor. But when the Governor is a candidate for the Senate two years hence as he is expected to be the incident will hp romm. bered by few. The public memory is usually short; and it is also true that many people who think the Governor made a serious error in this case would not refuse to sup port him for public office on that account. For its part The Land mark wishes there was opportuni ty, this very year, to make the Shemwell case a square issue in North Carolina. This is said without any personal animosity to ward anybody, but the desire ie prompted by belief that the answer pf the people would be so over whelming and so unmistakable an expression of public sentiment a gainst the Governor's course, that hereafter Governors would exer cise the pardoning power less, the courts would punish more prompt ly and more effectively, and the general result would be beneficial to law and order and to the old fashioned idea, no longer put in practice but still true, that there should be equality before the law.

Half of the people are blundering along today "taking no stock in poli tics" except now and then to whoop up a particular candidate, and the other half are being fooled by party names, "party harmony" or some other outworn prejudice. And mean time a few men are taking chattle mortgages on the whole push, by simply using the party bosses to make laws that enable them to say what shall be paid for the things necessary to live, and deeper still, to fix the very conditions under which the toll shall be squeezed out.

AN INTERESTING LETTER FROM LAND OF FLOWERS. What a Tar Heel Sees in Florida. Likes That State, But Thinks There is no Place Like Home and the Good Old State of North Carolina. Since my last letter from Tampa, Fla., have visited several places of note, among them being the famous Sulphur Springs. It was a great sight for me as I had never seen such a ppring, boiling like a great pot and the stream from it is ilike a creek, sufficient to run a f&ill, but they do not have any wa ter mills in that country. I also visited the Desoto Springs, named after the great explorer, and tra dition has it that he remained there some time as he was in search of something that would make him j live hare for all time. As I wrote in my last letter I like Florida very well; it is a fine country, but I like my native State and home best of all, so I was glad when my grandparents decided to return. We left Tampa on April 6th, and arrived at Salisbury on the morn ing of the 8th, and on oar arrival my aunts and uncles and frienns gave my grandparents a snrprise dinner as an expression of pleas ure at their return, and in honor of the anuiversary of their mar riage. They have been married forty two years. It seems a long time to me, but to them the time has been short. They did all they could to make my visit pleasant, and if my grandfather remains in Florida, I hope to go back after awhile. I am now at home with my parents and friends, but I en joyed ray visit very much. , The I only regret I have is that I . lost some time from school. . Pauline McDaniel.

MUCH BOOZE STILL IN SAUSAURY It is not So Easily Obtained Though as it Was in the 'Good Old Days.' There is still plenty of booze in Salisbury, though it may not be so easily produced as as the days gone by. Deputy Revenus Collector Davis, of Statesville, has been in Salisburp reguaging the liquor stored iu wasehouses there by man ufacturers who did business in Salisbury up to the time the State prohibition law became effective, and are now located at points out side lTorth Carolina. The liquor was gnaged at the time it was placed in the warehouses, and the reguaging was to ascertain whether it wa still ail there. The officer found 309 barrels in the Rowan Distiiing Company's warehouses, 38 barrels in D. L. Arry's storage rooms and 53 barrels belonging to the Mountain City Distilling Co. This large amount of booze cannot be disposed of legally in North Carolinas but by paying the regular United States taxes the spirits can be taken out of the State and sold. Some of the liquor has been storea more than two years. Ex. Sunday in the Country. One of the joys of life in a town or city is an occasional visit to the country; and no one can derive more genuine pleasure from com ing into personal contact with rural life and conditions than the townsman who was reared ia the country. The editor of the Fay etteville Index, who is a native countryman, has spent a few San days this spring out in the country and his beautiful description given below is especially 'attractive to those of us familiar with the ruralj scenes partrayed: ' The editor of the Index spent last Sunday in the country, driv ing over 12 miles qf country road, attending services in a country church, touching-elbows with the good people of a tine country com munity, enjoying the hospitality of an exemplary country, home -with visions of a farm and "forest on every hand. Nowhere were we ever more contented and happy than in the good old city of Fayette ville, and there has ever been that in the hustling, bustl ing, busy business and social Mife of the city that appeals to us, but we always delight to go into the rural districts, especially in spring time, and breathe the fresh atmo sphere laden with the aroma of fallow sod and forest flowers; "to hear the hum of the bees and the chirp of the mating birds to see fruit-promising blossoms of the peach orchard and the sweet smell ing jeasamine that prefuraes the woodland. From all these and the association with the kindly heart ed country people who live near to nature and hence not far from nature's God, we catch inspiration that drives away the cares and worries of office and shop and strengthens for the. duties of the coining week. To Drain Third and Fourth Creeks Statesville, April 4. The farmers who are interested in the question of drainage met in the court house to day and were addressed by Mr. Kipp, an engineer and drainage expert, who is connected with the United States government. It was . practi cally decided to drain Third" and Fourth creeks, and instead of buying machinery and doing- the work them selves they will let the contracts to companies who do drainage work. When these creeks are drained there will be about ten thousand acres of valuable land brought into cultiva tion ;that is no pearly worthless. v . . : : '. u Diarrhoea should be cured with out loss of time and by a medicine which like Chamberlain's Coiic, Cliol era and Diarrhoea Remedy not only cures promptly: but produces, no un pleasant after effects.
