2I JJK 'HERE SHALL THE PRESS. THE PEOPLE'S RIGHTS MAINTAIN; UNA WED BY INFLUENCE AND UNBRIBED BY GAIN." VOLUMN XVII. MOCKSVILLE. NORTH CAROLINA. WEDNESDAY. DECEMBER 8. 1915 NUMBER 21 ... r tin M in ft The average yield of corn in Xorth Carolina for 1914 was 20 bushel per acre. In the same ear there were 1,000 boys who were members of the "Boys Corn CInb. ihe average yieia per acre for these one thousand boys was 28 bushels. ow we can 8e at once what these boys did for oar State. We see that they made thirty eight bushels per acre more than the average yield for the State, making a total of 38,000 bushels of extry corn. Xow what did this 38,000 hii&be. s of corn mean to North Carolina? It meant at least ' $35, 000, Now the average yield of corn per acre for Davie county in j 1914 was 22 bushels. Two bushels per acre above the average for the State. This shows that Davie is above the average corn producing counties in the dtate, and with a little extry attention this yield can be greatly iucreased. Some coun ties ir North Caroliua have more than 200 boys in the "Corn Club" work, now what are these boys weaning to their counties? These counties have corn shows each year and offer different prizes under tlitlerent conditions, and this is one ot the ways in which the bojs are kept interested. The value of this 'elub work" is great, it broad eus the visions of the boys, and in spires them to do greater thin s along the lines of agriculture, as well us other industrial persuits of life. Now why should Davie, with her natual advantages, as already stated, have only ten boys in the 'Corn Club" work! I believe that 1 am safe -in saying that these boys will make this yar- at least 30 bushels per acre, more than the average yield for the county. Now what is such work meaning to our count! And what would our county be in a few years if we only had more "Corn Club" boys to increase the yield of corn and also increase the interest of the people in the surrounding community? The following is the names of the boys who are members of the "Corn Club" in Davie, and these boys should be highly honored and praised for the good which they aredoiug. Namely: Hubert Boger, Oriell E'chisoo, Ovid Foot, Daniel Foster, Phillip Hendricks, Fred Leagons, R. Sheets, Prichard White, Frank VVoodard, Julius Woodard. Now next year lei's make this number at least fifty. J. Wade Hesdricks. He Had The Price. Mayor Mitchell, of New York, upon the revival of business under went an operation for appendicitis this week. The Mayoi is young 3t and this accounts for having postponed the fashionable opera tion so long. We only now and then hear of these operations. The poor white man and the nigger must go through life without en joying the seusatiou of losing the append i because we haven't the price. But after awhile, wheu the high cost of living reaches a lower level perhaps it will be for us all to enjoy the operations. Fair brother's Everything. A MERCILESS JUDGE One Who Shows No Favor.

Fools Not All Dead. Everything. Several ways there are of getting into print, and one of the ways is to make a fool of yourself do something odd or accentric and get a reporter on a yellow journal to play you up as having done a stunt altogether original and quite be yond the imagination of sane and sober folk who do the worth while things in a world where the freak always gets the front page. - Just now a couple up in Maine a man and his wife are attempt ing to demonstrate that they can live and be happy under conditions confronting no man or woman since the time of Adam and his introduc- tion into the gaiden of Eden. Even the primal state of the First Man had advantages over that of the Maine adventurers, since, accord ing to tradition the garden in which the father of the race fonud him self was located iu a mild climate and rilled with fruits which he was at liberty to pluck and eat. Not so with the Adam and Eve of the modern story, appearing with stock pictures in freak pages of the more or less sensational dailies. These proposed to go into the Maine woods, in the bleak aud cheerless mouth of November with only the wearing apparel brought with them into the world at the time of their birth; with no food or appliances of any kind whatever known to civilization, and prove bayond question of doubt that they could provide clothes, food and shelter, the same as primal man, could live and grow fat wi hout assistance from the outside, de pending solely on their own " wits and the resources of the great forest iu which they have elected to try their daring experiment. And if reports are to be believed they are doing it. They confess to feeling a little bit breezy in their imprrvised costumes of lea v e 6 strung together on a foundation of bark, and have had recourse to deer skin coats made from the hide of an animal caught iu a dead fall. They ate also getting up an ap petite for bread Jike their mothtis made, rather than the hard tack compounded of blood and roots. But great is ambition and the desire for fame! Mr. and Mrs. Estes tnat is the name if they live to get back to civilization will doubtless show up in the movies as the originals in the Eden story and a wondering world will gaze in awe and admiration as it puts up its coin for the latest. An Old-Time Railroad Story. The relation of old time railroad stories has developed the existence ot another amusing tale iu Texas. During the Civil War, it is said, a line known as the Memphis, El Paso & Pacific was operated be tween Marshal, Tex., and Shreve port, La. Three box eais consti tuted its supply of rolliDg stock, while the motive power was several yokes of oxen, which were referred to as J 'hay burners." The was a Jong grade out of Marshall, and wheu a 'train" was loaded a yoke ot oxen were put in the formost box car and that the cars were permitted to coast down the grade until they reached the bottom of the iucline, when the cattle were set to work to haul the equipment over the next summit. Tneu they again got aboard aud the train rolled down the next grade. This sort of thing was repeated until the end of the line was reached. It is said that the road was profitable.

The Republicans have taken the aggressive in North Carolina poli tics and have blazed the way up to holding of a State Convention. They will depend very largely on National issues to help them put in the State campaign and while they except to make the State management more of less of prom inence in their literature and ora tory, the tariff will be their main dependence. The State issue will be a losing one for them. The a mount of trouble they ma put the Democrats to will depend on the character of the man they may nominate to lead the ticket as gubernatorial candidate. The Re publican party will next year be in position to give the Democratic party the most serious light that has marked any campaign since 1876. The Republicans will have better newspaper backing aud they will present a more united front than in any previous campaign, aud they will have their ablest men on the stump And of these the Republicans have a good supply. The Observer still believes that the Democrats will carry every congressional district except one and it has not the slighrest doubt of the success of the State ticket, but those who may be thinking that this is going to be accomplish ed without the most vigorous sort of a campaign, are storing up quite a lot of disillusionment. Charlotte Observer (Democratic.) Roosevelt's Grievance. Wheu Colonel Roosevelt was the guest of the Kaiser on his way home from Africa a grand review of German troops was arranged for him . He was "given the finest mouat in the imperial stables, and as he reviewed the troops with the Emperor a photograph was taken of them. In one of these photo graphs Colonel Roosevelt had taken the attitude of pointing out some thing to the Emperor. Shortly after Roosevelt's return to the United States he found one of the pictures in his mail and written on the lower margain in the handwrit ing of the E:uperur were the words: "Here is where a lieutenant colonel of a cowboy regiment iu America was telling the German Emperor how he shou d run the finest army in the world."

Where It Would End. Whether or not it prove tiue that the President now leans to ward to restoration of. the Tariff cn wool as 'well as the Tariff on wool as well as the Tariff on sugar, the New York Herald is right in say ing: If there is to be a Tariff ou wool there must be a new Tariff on woolens aud the whole schedule must be revised. The instant that is done there will be no means of stopping a wide ripping up of the whole Tariff question. Who could prophesy where it would end! Well, whj not rip up the whole Tariff question? That is what the country wants, and the country will get it, too; if not at the hands of the present Gree Trade admmis tratioo'ahd Congress, then at. the hands of the Protection ad minis tratiou and Congress to be elected next year.
