Methodists throughout the

learn with pleasure that the or

It is also confidently believed by j
the management that members
of the denamination will respond
readily and promptly to the call :
for funds with wiiich to make
this the greatest institution in
the South for the care and train

The plans for conducting the

Cotton Seed Meal Seized Under
Puro Food Law.
In Asheville this week 120
sacks of cotton seed meal were
seized by a United States deputy
marshal. The seizure was made
under the national pure food law,
the change being that the sacks
were misbranded and did not
contain the proportions of ingre
dients stated in the label. The
suit is in the nature of a penalty
and will proceed to ordinary trial
in the court if the owners or
manufactures make answer,
The Citizen says the affidavit
charges that the sacks contained
Cremo Brand of feed meal man
ufactured by the Tennessee Fiber
Company, of Memphis; that the
labels on the sacks claim that
the meal consisted of 22 per cent
protein, 5 per cent of fat, 28 per
cent of crude fiber, whereas in
truth there was but 18.73 per
cent of protein, 4.C9 per cent of
fat, 26,0-4 per cent of crude fiber.
The principal fault found in the
label lies in its claim that there
was an excessive percentage of
hulls, 50 per cent
The case holds much interest
to merchants since it signifies
that the government intends to
levy on all misbranded food pio
ducts, and is of greater interest
to manufacturers, since the
wholesalers and retailers, not be
ing in a position to know accura
tely the composition of the food
stuffs, look to the manufacturers
to make good any losses caused
by seizures and to warrant the
purity of the products.

MUCH DAMAGE FROM fLOOO.
Many Bridges Washed Away. Lands
and Roads Badly Waahrd and
Craaa DiminftH
SUtesville Landmark
The severe rain and wind storm
which visited Statesville and vic
inity Tuesday night did much
damage to farm land, growing
crops, roads and bridges. Th.2
j downpour of rain was so heavy
that cultivated land and roads
i were badlv washed and the wind
marks during the night and
many bridges and much meadow
hay and bottom corn were either
washed entirely away or badly
damaged. It will cost the coun
ty thousands of dollars to replace
the many bridges and repair the
washouts in the roads.
The most important bridges
washed out were three which had
been built on macadam roads
during the past few years, name
ly: That over the prong of Fourth
creek, on the Wilkesburo road,
two miles north of town; the one
over Fourth creek at the old Da-
vis mill place on the Turnersburg
road, and new bridge and about
30 feet of embankment at the
Five Mile branch, on the Tur
nersburg road. The latter bridge
had only recently been completed
The bridge proper, on the Tur
nersourg road, was not carried
away by the flood and the fohrJ
nersburg road, was not carried
bridge over Beaver s creek, and
the old Sigma road, wa3 carried
away and it is reported that
Locke's bridge, over the South
Yadkin, was washed away, but
this report cannot be verified,
the telephone wires in that vic
inity being out of order.
Arrangements are being made
t) rebuild the bridges at once and
Chairman Mills, of the county
commissioners, says ne expects !
. .
to rebuild them in such a manner
that they will stand against any
flood. Much concrete will be
us'd.
The dam on Fourth creek at
Mr. W. E. Morrison's mill was
washed out and the mill building
had a narrow escape from being
wrecked.
Killed in tho Court House While Co
ing to Trial For Murder.
Frederick Mohrle, who killed
id 1 V : XT-U T mi! a
'.'" :;
several weeKS ago, was luueu in
the corridor of the criminal court
building today by William Kane,
a former deputy under Young.
The shooting occurred as Mohrle
was being taken to court to stand
trial for the death of Young and
is the culmination of a bitter po
litical feud. Kane used Young's
revolver on Mohrle.
When the shots re-echoed
through the building William
Wright, a co-defendant with
Mohrle in the Young case.be
camJ hysterical. He begged to
be placed in jail and his bonds
men surrendered him to Judge
Fisher who ordered Wright lock
ed up.
Only a few days ago Wright
became frenzied on the streets
late at night and began shooting
wildly under the impression that
the "gang" was after him. Al
fred Neilson, who was passing
on his way to work in a dairy,
was mortally wounded. Wright
is also under arrest for this death.
Mohrle killed Young on April
4. News of Young's death was
received with cheers at a politi-
l ca meeting a few minutes after
. ,
the tragedy.
"Tho Old Woman."
Was it you, young man, we
heard using those words when
speaking of your mother? The
old woman!
A nice phrase to be
using about the dear soul who
kept her vigil over you inyouri3, do not expect that sowing
infancy, kissed away your tears
in childhood, and remains your
trusted friend in maturity. Is
this all the love you have for the1
silver-haired mother who bathed I
! your scorching brow all through
the long, sleepless nights of af -
fliction, when your brain was
wild with burning fever? Is
there no other term you can find
for her whose love ha3 followed
you through every trial, tribula
tion, and misfortune of your life?
Ha3 mother through all these
years of labor, watching and j
waiting been wasting her love on '
a worthless bunch of clay who,
in the rosy dawn of manhood,
has no other term more fitting
than "the old woman," by which
to address or speak of his moth
er? Mother, young man, is the
sweetest name in all the world,
and should be held in reverence
by every bdy. The time is com -
ing when her feeble hands will
be folded, her watchful etfes
closed, and the lins crnce warm
with mother's love be cold, the
i fond heart whose anxious beat
ings once followed your way
i ward feet will be stilled forever.
! So while you can, call her moth
I er; you will mis3 her when she
j is gone. Remember that she has
suffered for you. When every
! friend has forsaken you, mother
is as true as steel.

Man Was Mado To Work.
Sometimes you hear the care
less remark. "He has made a
fortune; why is he working
now?" Fact is that the man
who has made an honest fortune
rWsn't feel like auittin&r: he
lives by work and would not be
happy without it. The unhappy I
ornpripnr nf thosp men and!
women who do not work, would
indicate that God intends for all

poor, and as the days go by, the i
world is learning to honor the '

J Now is Tho Tim to Sow Cowpeas.
i June is the best time to sow
I peas for hay. They will make
more vine growth than sown lat-
er. Then do not expect to eat
j your cake and keep it, too. That
peas on poor land and taking the
I crop olf and returning no manure
! to the land is going to improve
it, because it will, on the
hand, run it down. Peas,
other
while
. they get nitrogen from the air.
! are greedy consumers of the phos-
j phoric acid and potash in the soil,
! and you cannot get these from
the air. The value of the pea
crop consists ir its ability to save
you the purchase of nitrogen,
and to give you valuable feed to j
return to the soil and increase:
the humus content. Therefore, !
if the improvement of the soil is;
; the main object, as it should be, (
! you should feed the crop with
acid phosphate and potash and;
' thus enable it to do more nitro- j
gen-fixing for you.
It is a good plan to mix COW-!
; peas and sow beans half and half, j Asheville, June 9. Carrying
The more erect character of the fa diploma, a certificate of good

Shooting at Roidavillo.
Reidsville, June 9. -Henry
Fulton, about 21 years old of
Guilford county, was accidentally
shot and perhaps fatally wounded
to-day by Ira Kimbro. The shoot
occurred at Mrs. Smith's board
' ing house on Scales street.
; Fulton came here this morning
to join the local baseball team
and at the time of the accident
, he and Kimbro, another player
had donned their uniforms and
were about ready to start for the
park. Kimbro picked up an old
pistol and while examining it it
was discharged, the bullet enter
ing Fulton's forehead. The
wounded man was carried to St
Leo's Hospital, Greensboro, this
afternoon. Physicians here stat-
ed that there was one chance in
a thousand for him to live. No
blame is attached to Kimbro, as
the shooting was accidental, but
he has been almost a neavous

The new twelve-inch wire
breech-loading gun (Mark XL),
which is to have the highest ve
locity of any gun yet made, has
- ; (says our Woolwich correspond
ent) emerged with credit from
its tests, and ha3 given complete
satisfaction in official quarters.
Compared with the present
twelve-inch gun (MarTc X.),
which ha3 a range of, roughly,
sixteen miles, the new gun has
many points of superiority, the
most important of which is its
greater range. It is said to be
effective at eighteen miles, and
those who have seen it tested
i declare it to be the finest weapon
in the world.
There are indications .that
; some orders for the new gun will
be placed with the Royal arsenal
at Woolwich, where shrinking
pits of enormous size are in "pro
cess of construction.
It is hinted, too, that we h.ave
not yet reached finality, and that
in the course of the next year
we may see a 13 5 inch gun, with
an even higher velocity put to
the test.
