It will be remembered that Senator Simmons asserted during the cam paig last summer that if he was re elected to the United States Senate, and if his colleagues failed to make him Chairman of the Senate Finance Committee that he would, upon such failure, resign from the Senate. Now that Senator Simmons has heen made chairman, and that all doubt is re moved, every one should rejoice that this noble son of the State is fittingly honored by his colleagues. In the mind of the Public Ledger there has at no time been doubt as to the out come A majority of over 20,000 North Carolina people who elected him over two of the most popular and influential men in the State said Sen ator Simmons was entitled to this po sition of honor and that their verdict has been confirmed. The State and the country are to be congratulated at this acknowledgment of the worth of Senator Simmons by his colleagues. hypotenuse, and when he bites vou he feels as big as an elefunt. Rover brought a flee to our house once and maw says once is often enuff for Rover to bring a flee. It lit on paw first and paw broke the settin room table and three chairs and strained his wrist tryin' to get hold of the flee. M w said paw got the flee off n some of his indiscriminate associates down to the seegar store or elsewhere, but paw said no it mnqtfi bin on the dawg. and maw said that's right, always try and lay j everything on a dum animiie like Kover Every time paw got' his hands on the flee, the flee was somewhere else just like a gost, but I never see a gost that had such sharp teeth and would bite like a flee kin. After paw had knocked the stove down, the flee jumped on maw, and she run up the front stairs and down the back stairs and around the hous and Rover was chasin' her be cauz he wanted his flee back. A dawg ain't no good without a flee, and paw stood by a hollerin' and laffia' and singin'. "Just as I am, without 1 flee," and then the flee jumped on paw again and he run down and jumped on the street car and rubbed up again' the conductor's back, and he got so nerv ous he rung up five fares every time instid of one. Then Rover went out and got another flee and when he sets on the porch and plays with the flee his hind knuckle strikin on the floor he makes a noise like a woodpecker. The flea has got a distinct mission in this world. He makes a lot of lazv fellers git up and git, and like the busy bee and the ant, he is among the most industrious of our feller creechers That's all I know about the flee You can't say as much about a lot of hu man folks I know. A Cheerful Prophet. Mr. Laurens Enos, president of the American Automobile Association, predicts that within the next quarter of a century the United States will spend $25,000,000,000 on the high ways of this country. He thinks we are going to spend this vast sum on our roads for the simple reason that it will pay in dollars and cents. It will pav in increased comfort. It will pay in advancing civilization, in extending education, in improving health and morals. It will increase, vastly, the value of farm lands; it will build up clean, prosperous villages. It will add much to our National weaith and strength, and, last but not least, it will accomplish more in reducing the cost of living than anything else, we as a Nation, could do. Mr. Enos gives a page of facts and figures to make out his case, and he is the most cheer ful good roads prophet we have read after in a reat while. Twenty-five billion dollars for good roads! We can scarcely comprehend the vast sum Equally divided, old Granville would receive at least $1,000, 000 And it is particularly pleasant to think that in later years the roads throughout Granville county will be veritable streets, but where all the twenty-five billion dollars is coming from we are unable to say. Little WiSIie on the Flea. The flea is the most active of small animals and can jump like kangaroo, only a good deal further, and more fre quent r. He inhabits dawgs and cir cusses almest exclusive, although he is sometimes found in perlite society where it hain't perlite to mention no how. When you look at the flea thro' a looking glass, he looks as big as a Philatheas to Meet in Char lotte in April. Extensive preparations are being made to make the third annual Baraca Philathea'StatelConvention, which will be held in Charlotte, April 12-15, the best yet held. The Charlotte City Unions, under the leadership of Presidents R. H. Lafierty and Miss Amanda Yandle, have been at work for some time, with the result that the various local committees are now very busy and enthusiastic. More than 1,000 delegates, representing va rious Protestant denominations, are expected from every section of the State, who will form a worthy band of representatives of these splendid bible classes. For the convention two specialists in organized bible class work have been secured. Mr Marshall A. Hudson.foun der of the movement, and President of the world-wide Baraca-Phiiathea Un ion, and Miss Henrietta Heron, Elgin, 111., vice-president of the Union, and editor of various publications issued bv the David C. Cook Publishing Co. Ef forts will be made to secure aliso world wide Field Secretary Rank Anderson, who is now touring the West. Othei speakers of note and experienced state workers will take part in the program In addition to the grand parade Sun day afternoon, composed of visiting delegates, and the Charlotte clases en masse, there will be added this year other attractive and helpful features in the form of demonstrations of clas ses at work. A few weeks ago a special class or ganization campaign was inaugurated, with a goal of 300 new classes for the year to be organized and reported at the Charlotte convention Many new classes'havefbeen organized, and it is believed the goal will be reached. Two hundred'and forty-four new ones have alreadyijbeen reported. There are now 1.000 Baraca and Philathea classes in North Carolina, one-half of which have been organized in the past three year?, making this the banner State. The Charlotte City Unions, are composed of 54 live classes, who will give the large delegation a royal welcome and entertainment. Hundreds of young men and women haye been brought into the Sunday school and Church through these classes, and trained for active Christian service. Entertainment will be free at the convention, and railroad rates reduced. Names of delegates should be sent to Miss Flossie A. Byrd, general secre tary, Greensboro, who will gladly fur nish information about the convention and the organization of new classes. In Memory of Garland Piper. On February 25th. 1913, death en tered the home of Mr. and Mrs. Carl H. Piper and claimed their little son, Eugene Garland, 3 years of age, after several days illness of pneumonia. As spasms of pain came on him he writhed as the angel loosened one dy one the cords of life. Little Garland was a bright little boy for one of his years, and said and did many sweet things. Dear father, mother, brother and sisters, I know you feel almost in consolable, but you will see that the seperation was inevitable and think that the Lord's hand was performing his will; then comes your consolation. 0 Lord, if it be thy will take him, for thus will we learn more earnestly to trust in Thee. His funeral was con ducted at home by Rev. George Tun stall and his body laid away in the Cozart Cemetery to await the resur rection morn. Weep not, dear parents for your babe. For bis spirit is at rest. He has joined the Heavenly chorus. And his soul is with the blest. Friend. Men who Build up a Town. 1 .

Gentlemen: In order to insure prompt shipment this spring, we will thank you to get your orders to us as promptly as possible. You probably know the railroads are congested later in the rush season and delays will cause you confusion and your customers dissatisfaction. We call your attention to this as reports from various sections indicate larger tonage than last year on our goods. We desire not only to give prompt service, but to give you and your customers fertilizer that will furnish good food for the plant. This wre believe is the best way; for plants need careful feeding. Nature's verdict of what is best is told by the crops produced and this is what the planter looks for. After fifty five years experi ence in making fertilizer, we give the planter the best we know and that is based strictly on quality which has gained us great field tests. Sincerely hoping you will comply with our request, we beg to remain, Yours very truly, G.
