Down on The Farm.
Some of tbe dty-slobberia', high
flyjn upper crnst ol society hike
up their nose at the farm boy
The funky white-washed scabs of
society who are guilty of throwin'
off on the farm boy who goes bare
footed and wears overalls, are too
insignificant to be growled at by a
Bcrofnlons torn cat.
But I've seen lots of 'em and
Itnow plenty more, and could al
most cast a stone to some of their
musty deus They are a shame
and disgraee to creation, and it's a
wonder the earth don't open its
mouth and vomit every time one
cf these shams make a tiack on it.
I was raised on the farm myself,
aud went barefooted and for that
reason I can yet feel the sneering
insults of such spotted crumple
horned cattle. I have been thor
oughly tested in the flint-mill of
continued advershy, and while
profit and loss have swung corners
about equally, I have clung to the
love and lespect I have for the
boys down on the farm.
Bov8. never mind the fan-pokers
from the city, with their yellow
shoes and green hats. Don't let
thein worry you. They would be
proud 1 3 have a farm and hoe corn
and feast ou the fruits and foods
fAHM.-l nn tha farm if Hipv nnnlrt fin
so without being caught at it by
i
their society friends. i
Many of America's greatest men
were raised on the farm and went
barefooted till they were half
grown. Abe Lincoln went bare- j
looted and pawed up the soil of
Illinois with his toe-nails. If some;
one could find a petrified barefoot- j
ed track of old Abe over there in 1
Sangamon county, they would soou j
be rich enough to ride in a Ford J
Automobile. The people of the
whole land would worship that
track, and it would be sacredly
preserved in the National Museum
at Washington. But at the time
Abe was making those tracks they
were not considered worth looking
at. So you uever know what is
going to happen. Go right ahead,
boys, and make your barefooted
tracks in the plowed ground of the
old farm, and .then try to be a
Lincoln. " " '
Grant didn't have any shoes
when he was a boy. He worked
on a farm, and was laughed at by
the city dudes who passed along
and paw him. And now if the
poverty stricken descendants of
those who laughed at him just had
one leg of Grant's old breeches they
would be independent.
So, boys, don't get disheartened.
Hold up your heads and don't be
ash amen to get plowed ground be
tween your toes. And when those
snobs who make fun of you have
turned yellow and, dried up from
smoking cigarettes, you can go to
the city with strength and nerve
and good health, and v take their
places in the business world. Then
it will be your turu to laugh at
their calamity. Law's Lash.
Some Pertinent Questions.
''Our Democratic friends are say
mg that if the Democratic party
comes into power it would reduce
the expense of this government
$300,000,000," says the President.
'Do they mean that the Democrats
would abolish the pension ltst! Do
they mean that they would give up
ihe navy and disband the army!
Do thpy mean that they would a
bandon Porto Rico and the Philip

iJiues? iet us Dave a little sneci-
neat ion . W hat are such state
ments woith unless the gentlemen
ho make them give us the tjetails
of the expenditures that they criti
cise and expect to avoid if they are
let into power and become them
selves the national government!"

HERE SHALL THE
Governor Aycock's Mad Demo-
; crats.
Governor Aycock says that
North Carolina only goes Republi
can when the people get mad with
the Democratic party. We will
have no controversy with Govern
or Aycock as to this statement, ev
en though it is not accurate, bec
auee the people are mad with the
Democratic party this year, and
therefore they now have a good
reason, according to Goveraor Ay
cock, for voting the Republican
ticket. The people, however, are
reading and thinking as uever be
fore, and wherever they are think
ing and reading the most, there
they are leaving the Democratic
party in the greatest numbers. It
will be noticed that tbe Democratic
newspapers and speakers are not
attempting to appeal to the intel
ligence of the people and giving
reasons why voters should leave
the Republicau party and come to
the Democratic party. They dare
not defend their record and discnss
the live issnes, which it is neces
sary to do to try to win recrusts.
All they are doing is dealing in a
buse and appealing to the passions
and prejudices in a desperate effort
to try and keep the honest rank
and file of the Democratic party
from leaving their false leadership
and condemning their record of
incompetency and broken promis
es. We" cannot blame the Democrat
ic party for being at heart against
higher education and intelligence.
The only hope of continued Demo
cratic success is ignorance and pre.
judice. Higher education and in
telligence means the death of Deiu
ocratic rule. Caucasian.
Sikes Admits Defeat.
By actual count, there were ex
actly six white voters at the Dem
ocratic meeting in Method last Sat
nrday. To speak to them were ex
actly six speakers, Messrs. Skyes,
or fcsikes, Seares, Anderson, Lvnu,
Mial, and Chamblee,-or one speak
er to each voter present.
Nevertheless, they "norated"
and Messrs. Sikes and Mial both
admitted that with the present
state of affairs in the county, with
the party divided, the Republicans
were surely elected. The meeting
was a decided frost, and is but a
sample of what the Democratic
candidates are meeting with every-
wheae Raleigh Caucasian.
Throw Dirt on The Air Line.
Landmark.
As soon as the preliminaries can
be arranged, and they will be ar j
ranged promptly, the State will
send a squad of fifty convicts to
States ville to begin work on the
Statesville Air Line railroad, which
is to be built from Statesville via
Yadkinville to Mt. Airy.
The State feeds and guards the
convicts, taking pay for the work
in the stock of the road. As a gua
rantee that the road will be built
and equipped bond must be execut
ed to the State in the sum of $500
per month. A bond of $5,000 will
be executed and sent to Raleigh as
soon as the form is received, prob
ably today. The railroad authori
ties have to prov ide camp and equip
ment, tools, etc. The location of
the camp and the place whera woik
will begin has not been definitely
determined but will be in a few
days. .
If nothing unforseen occurs dirt
throwing on the Air Line should
begin before the end of the month.

Edwards of this place. Mr. Ed
wards is 50 years old and has res
ided here for over 30 yaars, paying
his taxes, working the roads, and
in every way complying with the
requirements of a good citizen.
He is one of te beat known car
penters and constrncters in this
section, having planned and con
strncted a number of the finest re
sidences in this and adjoining co
unties. For over two years Mr.
Edwards was general superintend

the courthouse at Charleston, W,
Va., a structure costing some $252-
000. He has also been foremau for

Construction company, of Washin
gton, D. C,
While Mr. Edwards is not a po
lished scholar, he is nevertheless,
a man of wide general information
and as to intelligence ho is far a
bove the average citizen. He takas
his own newspaper, is a good read
er and he keeps his own set ol books
and accounts, and attends to all his
business correspondence.
Mr. Edwards was denied regis
t ration on the technical grounds ot
repeating the words "and" and
"shall" in copying a part of the
construction. At the same time,.
one.ELDoughteji, was registered,'
notwithstanding the fact that he it-
said not only to have repeated, but
to have omitted whole lines.

r-No Wonder They Cuss Butler.
The bonds which Marion Butler
collected were not carpet-bag bonds
but they were Democratic bonds.
f Butler made the Democratic party
keep one of their solemn broken
promises by having the facta and
their record investigated and pass
ed upon bv the Supreme Court of
the United States, and of course
they are mad about it. They want
to steal and not be caught; they
vant to break promises and not be
told of it, and they want to repu
date an honest debt" and are very
mad when they are caught in the
dishonest act and made to pay their
honest debts. That is what la the
matter with them . Nawonder they

"If my friends hadn't blundered in think

lung-racking cough fail. At last I tried
Dr. King's New Discovery. The effect was
wonderful. It soon stopped the cough and

i FALL TIME.
When the frost is on the pumpkin and the
green is off the grass.
When the cider's in the barrel and the
apple's in the sass,
When the Tom and Jerry's flowing and
the bock is off the beer.
You can bet a large simoleon that the
hazy fall is near.
When the hammock's off the porchlet and
the melon's off the vine
When tee chipmunk's in his quarters and
the paint is off the sign.
When the lover's off the gatepost and the
leaves are on the ground,
It is safe to bet your money that the fall
. has come around.
When the bee is off the flower and the
flea is off the dog.
When the seed's in the appendix and the
duck is on the bog.
When Gawgie's on the avenue with his
chrysanthemum,
You can wager double eagles that the
smoky fall has come.
WHEN THE WOMEN WEAR THE
PANTS.
I can see a change a-comin'
In society's domain,
For the fashion mill's a-hummin' N
And the world's a-growin' vain.
Man who once was lord and master,
Has today no sort of chance.
For the world's a movin' faster,
An' the women wear the pants.
Modesty has been forgotten,
Shame has also taken flight.
An' society is rotten,
An' the fashions are a sight.
If you'll notice just a minute
You can see it at a glance
That the men are never in it .
When the women wear the pants.
Wives have worn their husband's breeches
That's a thing we lontf have known;
but today the little farries
, Must have trouiers of their own.
. Would to God that I could doubt it,
?T-?r And dismiss it as a trance; - - .
-: Rut there ain't no doubt about it.
:For the women wear the pants.'
Gives a man the nervous twitches
When his own sweetheart he sees
In a dainty pair of trousers
Discontinued at the knees.
But the fashion now is started
And continues to advance,
An' the men are broken-hearted, -
And the women wear, the pants.

The Mortgage.
LincohvCounty News.
A mortgage is a strange institu
tion. It makes a man rustle, atd
it keeps him poor. It is 'a,' strong
incentive to action, and" a:,; whole
some reminder of the fleeting, mon
ths and years. A mortgage repre
sents industry, because it is never
idle and 'never rsts. It is like a
iKJsonri'rieud. because the greater
tbe adversity tbe closer it sticks to
a fellow. It is like a soldier, it
never hesitates in charging nor
fears to cloe on an enemy. It is
like the sand-bag of a thug; silent
in its application, but deadly in its
effect. Like the verjrnandpf pro
vidence, is spread pver all creation
and its influence is everywhere vis
ihlf It is like thai eraso lot the
devil fish, the longer it holds the
greater its strength. It will exer
cise leeling, energy and lend acti
vity to the sluggish brain. No
matter how hard the debtor work
the mortgage doesu't rest but works
harder still. It makes a fellow
sour, cross, selfish, unsociable and
muerable, and rarely does him any
good to exercise him-.
