I " r nfc"r" If Ml 'HERE SHALL THE PRESS, THE PEOPLE'S RIGHTS MAINTAIN: UNA WED BY INFLUENCE AND UNBRIBED BY GAIN." MOCKSVILLE. NORTH CAROLINA. WEDNESDAY. SEPTEMBER 2. 1914 NUMBER 7 VLUMN XVI- - T LESSON HERE War Shows Value of European Protective Policy. Economic Necessity In That It Would Make the United States Industri j ally Independent of All For elgn Countries. e expression has ben heard fre quently of late that the European war, to all intents and purposes, serves the manufacturing industries of the United States almost in the same manner and degree as a protective tariff. In other TOrds, if the producers of Europe are taken from the fields and the shops and sent to the front, there will be a serious falling off In the imports, leav ing Americans in full possession of their own market. Such a view Is subject to various Qualifications. The essential factor, of course, is to obtain the necessary fhips. As an equivalent to the policy of tariff protection, a European war is sadly deficient in that it lops off mil lions from the tariff revenues of the government. Whatever gain may ac crue to the manufacturers is at the expense of the treasury. What the European war does ac complish, however, is the illustration of the ecomonic necessity of tariff pro tection at all times. The principle of protection was forcibly brought home to the American people during the Na poleonic wars, when American states men showed clearly that the American public should not be placed at the mercy of Europe. The great argu ment for protection at that time was to have industries so firmly estab lished in the United States that no Eu ropean war could deprive us of man ufactured articles. The present crisis points to the same conclusion. It shows that it is absolutely necessary for the United States to be made in dustrially independent of foreign coun tries and to be brought to the point where it can produce for itself every thing needed by its own people. It has heen a favorite argument with the tariff-for-revenue-only men that If any industry could not compete suc cessfully with the cheap labor prod ucts of Europe, such an industry, in line with true economy, should be permitted to die. If such a policy had heen followed by the United States in the past, it would mean that the na tion would be utterly unable to sup port itself in the present European crisis. Even now the war will deprive the United States of many articles, such as chemicals used In agriculture and manufacturing, and would like wise deprive the country of many manufactured articles, such as tex tiles, metals, etc., if such industries had not been well established under the protective policy at home. Whatever else the general war In Europe may show, It cannot fail to demonstrate not only the value, but the absolute economic necessity of a protective tariff. Return to Republicanism. In spite of the enormous crops and the general prosperity in the agricul tural districts of the grain-growing Mates, there has grown up a deep conviction among those who aban doned the Republican party, to follow the leadership of Colonel Roosevelt, that it was a big mistake. At the same time Democrats in those states admit their supreme disappointment ith the conduct of the government by their party. The administration may be told by politicians with axes to grind that the sentiment of the country ia largely with it, but if those interested would send out some disin terested emissaries to find out from Personal contact with the voters of jna West what the real sentiment Is, ttey would discover that the pros pers at this time favor the return of , Republican to congress from two tricts it of three which the Re publicans lost four years ago.

Recently there have appeared in The Progressive Farmer several letters telling why we need a dog law in every Southern State, and for this reason I will give my ex perience trying to raise a few sheep. In Jane, 1913, I purchased eight head of sheep lrom one of my pros pereus neighbors, who sold them to keep his own dogs from killing them. I left them on free range until I could get a field ready to turn them into, where I kept them until April, 1914. The seven ewes had brought eight lambs in Febru ary, and they were looking well when I turned them out on the open range in April. In June I sold one buck lamb and one of the old sheep for $9.65, only lacking $2 35 of paying me back what they all had cost. But here cometh tht bad part. ' The dogs broke into them and before I knew it had killed all but three oi my own, together with 11 that belonged to a neighbor; doing most of their killing at night. Alter the loss of three days work, which was badly needed in my crops, I tinanlly found the dogs and their owners. They belonged to a couple of darkies who lived (one of them) in a very shabby hut, and was not really able to feed a dog, to say nothing of pay ing for what dftmage his three would do. The other negro was an hireling, working for about 75 cents a day. Now those sheep represented a value of $70 or more, and as it is a hard task to get blood from a tur nip, I would like to know how we are to get pay for. our sheepf You cannot take from .a man that which he hath not. Now why not elimin ate this worthless cur that is a nusiancel But that would never do; there are too many of our gentlemen of leisure who like a possum hunt to raise a voice against him. . Prevention is better than cure; and it would ba much better and easier for our lawmakers to pass a law to tax these miserable pests out of existence than for one to try to keep them from destroying one's stock, or to try to get pay for those already destroyed. I would go farther than to just tax dogs; I would say to actually prohibit any one from owning a dog who does not own real estate. It more often than not happens that the men who own the sheep killers are too poor to feed them, to say nothing of paying for the damage they do, and of feeding and elothing and educating their chil dren. If dogs are a necessity, they ought to be taxed, if they are a luxury how much more should they be taxed. Mr. Member of the State Legislature, you claim tnac you believe in progress, education, and in the betterment of our rural dis tricts. Why not prove your faith by your works? - la the neighborhood of where 1 live there are at least, (within a radius of ten miles,) a thousand mostlv of the sheep killing, egg-sucking 1 which belong to the negroes of the mining camps, railroad camps, etc, and within this same district I will nnntnra (ho assertion that there VCUVUl v uw 1 are not over 100 sheep. The dog law, like woman BUf- frage, is coming, but it may be so long off that we will not have any shPPn left and so would uot need it. W. M. Hosmeb, in Progressive Farmer. Dfczy? Bilious?

Al Fairbrother Goes After The Politic ian in Johnson County. Everything. We have before commented on Johnston county politics. We have shown that the pie eaters and pie- bunters of that district are "willing to do all that mortal man can do o get away with it to secure of fice and the salary going with the office. With so many candidates in the field, with so many place hunters, it would seem that thaie might be one or two men big e- nongh to stand up and announce, regardless of machine politics, re gardless of what might nappen, hat they proposed to stand, for humanity for decency. But we get no such message from Old Johnston. All we get is the assurance of Mr. Brooks, lunning for recorder, that the party owes bj.m nothing buf he still owes the party something and he wants to pay it with services the salary of course still coming to him. We see no man coming to the front and saying he proposes to clean up some of the dirty places. The last two or three issues of the Selma Chronicle have contained articles that would, if we had time to stop and think, make the flesh creep. Articles that would, in another age, have caused mento organize and hold meetings and declare be fore the just God of this universe that conditions that exist should no longer exist, even if it took the bayonet to make things right. Ar ticles that recited the unjustness; the brutality; the' inhumanity; the tb&risisi of a people claim i eg civilization of a Christian county people, with so called righteous men aud women. Why is it that we have time to talk about ten constitutional amen dmentsto everlastingly chew the rag about state-wide primaries and initiative and referendum and re call, and all the wild things and high sounding things that have to do with office and office holding but no time to relieve humanity which suffers in agony and shamt! There is a man named Frederick Archer living down there who saw his duty. But not until a woman, a New Woman a member of the Civic League, took the initiative and exhibited to Mr. Archer in all its wietcbednesa the condition of the County Home. This good wo man, Mrs. N.-E. Edgerton, took a party of gentlemen in her machine and carried them to the County Home and then the men saw. Mr. McLean, editor of the Chron icle, was in the party and he vou ches for what- Mr. Arcner says and what Mr. Archer says would make the blood of a Bulgarian brigand leap high and fierce would make a stolid North Ameri can Indian want to start something because if there ever was cruelty to animals it is to be or was to be found in thi Jonston County Conn ty Home. Mr. Archer says the party in vestigating the conditions at this Home found four miserable shan lies where the inmates live, shan ties twenty years old and with no means of heating them in cold weather and no means of keeping out the flies in warm weather- that these human beings, no. one of them guilty of any crime but old, diseased, helpless North Caio- linians men and women who had fought and lost -fathers asd moth ers who failed somehow to mate enough to keep enough to sustain them in their old agecitizens who in the race for gold lost early in the game and had no where to lay their headsand were sent to these foul and frowsy dens these verm in haunted shacks containing no furniture no furniture, according to Mr. Archer, and the bed clothes so horribly filthy and ill-smelling that a. dog taken from a tannery and put in one of the roam would ose hjs breath. MrJ AJcher says the Superinten dent of this County Home told him and told the party of visitors that he straw mattresses on which these pitiable and wretched help- ess human beings are forced to lie are fairly alive with vermin and that so old are the houses and so infected with bugs and lice that the strongest kind of fumigation will not touch them". Mr. Archer says that there is one idiot tied like an auimal in the hall who wallows in his own filth and is cleansed only when some unfortunate associate feels it his duty id help "him out. He says this idiot tied there like a wild beast inight be tied, was covered with thousands of flies Hies of all varieties, blow flies, blue bottle flies and common house fifes--and the stench with which he reeked was absolutely unbearable. The picture cannot be painted. But the fact that such conditions exist in this great state this state which5in8ists on a state wide pri mary anu all things that nave to do with the welfare of politicians - calls for action on the part of other officials if Johnston county officials will not act. TAKING CALOMEL v IS A BAD HABIT So Powerful It Shocks Liver and Leaves It Weaker Than Before. Dodson's Liver Tone is Better to Take. Nearly everybody who has ever tried calomel has found that it gives only a temporary relief. For calomel iasuch a powerful drua that! it. shocks and weakens the Uvrand makes it less able after ward to do its duty than in the first place. This is one of the reasons why Crawford's Drug Store guarantee Dodson's Liver Tone to take the place of calomel. Dodson's Liver Tone is a pure vegetable liver tonic that will cure constipation quickly and gently, without any danger of bad after effects. It is guaranteed to do this with a guarantee that is simple and fair. It you buy a bottle of Dodson's Liver Tone for yourself or your children, and do not find that it perfectly takes the place of calomel, then return to the store where you bought it and get your money back with a smile. Strange Law. 'Everything" says in Greens boro, on North Elm street, a woman was found in a room with a man. The woman was sent to the work house four months and the man was not punished. Her name was published, his wasn't. Now that's justice, isn't itf She would not have gone to his room if not want ed. The ' Mercury agrees with Everything, when it ways "he ought to have been sent to the chain gang for 6 months." . They ought not to give either name. It does no good, and might cause loved ones pain iiicKory rimes jier cury. Ch am bei Iain's Liniment. If you are ever troubled with aches, pains or soreness of the muscles, you will appreciate the good qualities of Chamber lain's Liniment. Many sufferers from rheumatism and sciatica have used it with the best results. It is especially valuable for lumbago and lame back. For sale by all dealers. No, Maude, dear, don't j amp to the conelusion that a man is a dog catcher because you see him rush ing the growler. Rheumatism Pains Cured. The first application of Sloan's Liniment goes right to the painful part it pene trates without rubbing its stops the Rheumatic Pains around the joints and liives relief '. and comfort. Don't suffer! Get a bottle today! It is a family medi cine for all pains, hurts, bruises, cuts, sore throat, neuralgia and chest pains. Pre vents infection. Mr. Chas. H. Wentworth, California, writes: "It did wonders for my Rheumatism, pain ii gone as soon as I apply it. I recommended it to my friends as the best Liniment I ever used Guaranteed. 25c. at your Druggist. ad j THE DEMOCRATIC HAND BOOK. Some Important Things That Will Be Left Out. -To Run on Good "Luck." Col. Al Fairbrother runs a De mocratic paper at Greensboro, and while we differ with him politically yet we admire his style of writing and the way he says things. Lis ten to this: "Chairman Thomas D. Warren, of New Bern, and Secretary J. 11. Collins, of Louisburg, have been in Raleigh and made arrangements to open the headquaiters of the Democratic party at the Yarbor ough hotel, September 1. A new hand book will be issued and the enthusiastic ones say 6uch a campaign will be waged as was uever waged before. We take it that in the hand book there will be Hie siza pic tures of the Goldsboro convention. If an artist cannot be secured to depict this scene, the committee might borrow from some historical publishing house a cut of an In dian massacre and label it the Goldsboro Convention. This will be iuspiring in after years. The Tenth district should also come in for a picture but we take it that these things will be lightly treated. The Democratic party in North Carolina should review the records of some of its illustrious sons. Show how Glenn accepted the govern ment job and tell why it was given him and how he took it after de claring several times he didn't know whether ho would run for Senator or not. It should also tell how E. J. Justice announced him self and how he -became attached to the department of justice and is still, eo far as any newspaper with drawal is concerned running for the Senate. The great patriots who week for the Peepul should be pic tured in this hand book so history may be kept straight. The Democratic party is all right in North Carolina. But some of the ambitious politicians who aie playing the Democratic party i should be called down and called hard they have taken possession. The Republican party is sho. to pieces or else there-might be some thing doing. Thousands of Demo crats are tired of this ranting and yelling agaiust railroads; against cotton mills; against the well order ed conditions. The party will go through all right but it is simply good luck not its record. Acute Indigestion. 'i was annoyed for over a year by at tacks of acute Indigestion, followed by constipation, writes Mrs. M. J. Gallagher, Geneva. N. Y. "I tried everything that was recommended to me for this com plaint but nothing did me much godd un til about four months ago I saw Chamber lain's Tablets advertised and procured a bottle of them from our druggist. I soon realized that I had gotten the right thing for they helped me at once. Sinee taking two bottles of them I can eat heartily without any had effects." Sold by al dealers.
