U., af ecoud-class matter. Thursday. March 7. 1912. KCEFLSG THE DOLLARS AT BORE. . "Ten years ago a farmer pat ; hh initials on a dollar bill. - The next day he went to the nearest town and spent it with a mer chant. - Before the year was out he got the dollar bill back. Four : times in six years the dollar came back to him far produce, and three times he heard of it in the pockets of his neighbors. The last time he got it back was four years ago. He sent it to a re tail mail order house. He has nevei seen that dollar since, nor never will. That dollar will never pay any more school or road tax for him, will not build or brighten any of the homes of the community. He sent it en- " tirely out of the circle of useful ness to bimaelf and his neigh bora." The above is an oft-repeated story, but it is to the point. The home merchants are re sponsible for the condition stat ed. They complain at those who patronize the maM oider houses, but refuse to adopt the remedy at hand. The mail or der houses advertise to acquaint the people wiih their goods and prices. They get the business as a result of it. They use both catalogues and newspaper space tne former the more expen sive but because of the nation wide field of operation most con venient, and the latter almost "rTitlpT5SHb!e to conduct satisfacto rily on so large and varying a scile. ' The home merchant can af ford easily to buy one to five dollars worth of advertising each week if he puts thought and ' prices into his ads. Probablj nine-tenths of the people know nothing of the stock carried by the local dealers, hence they or der by mail. - Money spent for judicious ad. vertising is worth more to the business than the same money spent in any other way.' Those who have tried it say so. DON'T "HAKE US TOED." Editor Uugin8 of the Marsh vllle Horn 9 says: "But it doe? make us tired to hear the Gov ernor criticised sj for 'assritin the saintly Senator's spotless record."! Doubtless since that statement went into cold black print it fails to shine as its writer anticipated, The expression "makes us tired," , is rarely associated with the dis cussions of the mighty affairs of ' government or public questions. - It has the sound of I033 of sleep, indigestion, grouchmess, intoler ance and some other .things. ; We give Brother Huggins the benefit of the doubt, however, tor it is hardly probable that he meant it if he did say it. ' He is a bright young man and should , be forgiven this blunder all of us make them occasionally. -' North Carolinians have known Senator Simmons for years, both . at home and " in 1 Washington. They have kept pretty dose track cf his record, as has the ' gover r.or, but' without ' ''purpwe" "or eccret evasion of mind in - the watchiig. "'.

The tracks vere uncovered, the dogs scented them, circled about the place, struck a trail followed it steadily through a man's house occupied by himself and family at the time. The dogs continued the trail for some miles beyond, and caught their manThe far mer whose house the dog frailed through said a man passed through his house nearly twenty four hours ahead of the dog. Those skeptical about here, and The Charlotte Observer a? well, are cited to this -true ac count of the ability of the blood hound to make good in his pro fessionman trailing. FORK AT HALF PRICE. , The Alabama Experiment Sta tion has found that corn is an ex pensive food for pigs. .Their tests have proven that pigs fed on corn alone gain two-fifths of a pound a day and costs seven and a half, cents per pound. whereas, when soy bean pastur age was substituted for a part of the corn ration, the gain war more than a pound per day and the cost of production only three cents a pound. The tests in other states have shown that peanuts and chufa? are excellent fattening foods foi hogs, but they should be follow ed by either sweet potatoes or corn to finish off on making the meat white and firm. In Mis sissippi they made pork at 2 1-2 cents per psund when the pig? were given pasture and peanuts to feed on and finished on sweet potatoes. The same can be done in North Carolina that is done elsewhere. AYCOCK STRONG Ex. governor Aj ccck' Isolds a warm place in the hearts of all true North Carolinians. He has launched his -campaign for the nomination for the Senatorship, and he will make a strong race. The people in the towns and county alike hold him near and dear to them and this unity will result in little fuss but many votes in November. , We need not be surprised if Mr. Avcxk leads the other three gentleman who are in the race with 'him Simmons, Kitchin. and Clark Although it doe seem that the state needs Mr Simmons and his valuable ex perience now more than e v e r before. He is an exceedingly valuable statesman at the criti cal stage in the political- affairs of the nation. A STOCK RAKMGSECT1CN. ; This section of North Carolina is naturally one of the best stock raising sections ia the South yet the industry is hardly known. Tennee8ee and Virginia mules san be supplanted with North Carolina males if only our far mers would buy Percheron mares instead of mules, for their- farm work. Some day. not long; off, we are going to be a stock selling people instead of a stock bying people That day -means more and better fanner?, more money in the bank; and tnany other con ditions conducive to man's hap piaesi and welfare.

Nothing short of a hy brid from an African zebra -and a Mexican burro can meet emergency of the .occasion. .th ROADS AND THE WEATHER. Old men say the past winter has been the worst on the public roads they have ever - k n 6 w n. Every county in the state has suffered from bad roads-even the macadam roads of Mecklen burg came in for quite a lot of damage by th severe winter. The sand clay has held up well where properly put up a id carsd for. After all, the experience may be worth hundred of thou sands of dollars to North Caro lina, for hereafter ail will want good roads and to build t h e rr of the material that has best withstood the test Montgomery County needs poultry association. A year age an effort was made to sound thf poultry sentiment but the re sponse waa to feeble too warrant any considerable efforts toward organization. A postal card tD the editor of The Montgomerian saying that you will join if an organization is perfected will be fuel such as is needed. Now is the time. Get a postal quick, lest you forget. Our brilliant governor will find it a rather irksome, and ultimately unpleasant task, if he undertakes to bequeath unto North Carolina democracy another imbroglio similar to that of four years ago. Patriotism should outweigh personal ambi tion. The County blood hounds are receiving a lot of good training these days and it is almost as tonishing to see how rapidly they learn to trail a man and al low nothing to put them off the track. They show greater profi ciency each day they trail. The Chinese and Mexicans are unruly specimens of humanity just now both nations seething in rebellion and riots. Mr. Page Alert, Representative Page of North Carolina has called the attention of the Attorney tieneral of the State to the lact that the state can recover about 130,000 for cotton seized just after the civil war by the Federal government. .There were three lots originally, containing 175, 70 and 247 bales,' but the small lot was paid for at the rate of 171.35 a bale years ago. At the same rate the other two lots should bring $30,000. The cotton in question was bought by North Carolina in Georgia in. 1865 and seized about the same time. The Treasury Department notified Mr Page that to get the money; the State must establish its claim in the court of claims, and then have Con gress make' the appropriation. " Sine th Most rtitkhd.

" AFTER BATTLE OF PEA RIDGE Julius Heidenreich of Chicago Tells of Lying Wounded Two Weeks ' on Battle Field. Hairbreadth, escapes are related by veterans of the Civil war and won dered at by a younger generation, but the tales of fortune In the thick of battle are sometimes not the mqst wonderful of the tar. ' Those that come nearest to being incredible and leave the listener confounded by the' thought that only through a miracle has the narrator been saved to the world are those of long continued Buf fering in prison or in hospital. One man who has such a story to tell is Julius Heidenreich, who lives at 11112 Fairfield avenue, South Chicago, 111. Mr. Heidenreich. who for twenty- five years has been a member of U. S. Grant post of the Q. A. R. and color bearer, was Ur Company K of the Fifty-ninth Illinois infantry regiment, which with the Thirty-seventh Illinois and Eighth, Eighteenth and Twenty second Indiana regiments and the Peoria battery made up the division of the Union army commanded by MaJ. Gen. (then colonel) Jefferson C. Davis. The story is of the three days' fighting at Pea Ridge, Ark., one of the half-dozen big battles of the west. "My regiment, the Fifty-ninth Illi nois, was sent west after it was formed late in the summer of 1S61," said Mr. Heidenreich. "By the begin ning of March, 1S62, we had gone on foot about 700 miles from Jefferson City, Mo., and were headed into Ar kansas at the rate of twenty mile3 o day, hot In pursuit of General Price's Confederate army. We were 200 miles from our base of supplies. We were shoeless and in rags and we lived on corn issued in the ear by the commis sary. "We caught up with General Price and had three days' fighting with him. This was the battle of Pea Ridge. The afternoon and night of March 6 1 helped build defensive breastworks. The next afternoon we were sent through an open field into the woods and there saw soldiers partially con cealed by a scrub oak thicket They displayed the stars and stripes, but we suspected them. The order was given to advance, but to hold our fire ntil the fact that it was the enemy - "I Fell In the First Volley." beyond ji doubt. Then we fired into them and they returned the fire. They were ten to our one. "I fell in the first volley.- One shot went through my" forehead, two others, which I stiU carry;- through my right arm and shoulder, another through my left leg and a fifth through my left tide and a sixth struck a needlecase and a tintype that I carried over the right breast and knocked, ' me over among the others, who were left for deaA and dying: . .' - "What was left of pur regiment felt back and the rebels, advanced, shoot ing Into our rear-;; At my left lay a corporal, wounded.
