Prospects for a wonderful agri

In the trinity of each human life
there is that which we are, that
which we were, and that which we
hoped to become. It is the last
that was once our own youth.
Nearly $40,000 has been spent in
the last six months in advertising
Western North Carolina, the South -2rn
Railway having spent $30,000
rf this amount.
The Commissioners of Mecklen
burg county have decided to go into
;he construction of sand -clay roads,
which means that in the future 3
miles of good roads will be built at
about the same cost and time for
merly required to build one mile.
While President Wilson has not
yet announced the" policy which he
thinks the American government
ought to pursue towards Mexico,
there is every reason to believe he
is evolving a plan of non-interference
in the internal affairs of the
the Southern Republic.
No matter how great a man is;
no matter how far he has climbed;
no matter how mightily he has
achieved: there are secret springs
of memory that, once touched, move
him more potently than can the
threats of enemies or the entrea
ties of friends.

The Treasury Department, Wash
ington, has paid to a number of li
braries and colleges in North Caro
lina specimens of all the notes of
the Confederate States of America.
The selections have been carefully
made and have the advantage over
most private collections in that
they are complete.
samp old lack of progress? If they
see it that way when they come back
they shorten their stay and hurry
away. People who have been away
and seen something are the poorest
people in the world to invite back
to the haunts of mossbackism. It
homecomers cannot be entertained
a little bit and be astounded with
progress at the old home let them
stay where they are. Let's make
progress before we get gay enough
to invite homecomers. Can they
come to your community and note
much of a change?
Cnnsideration of the Currency
Rill was practically concluded by
the Democrats of the House Bank
ing and Currency Committee after
more than five weeks of constant
and stormy discussion. The bill
was ordered closed and reported,
but it will go to the caucus with
the disapprval of three members
of the committee.
Sweeping reductions in express
parcels all over the country has
been ordered by the Interstate Com
merce Commission, to be effective
October 15th. The reductions range
from about 10 to 60 per cent, re
lieving shippers of the exorbitant
charges. For two years the new
rates will be "experimental," and
may become permanent.
The coming of the automobile
has marked an important epoch in
the advancement of the world's civ
ilization. Not only has the motor
car done much to eliminate dis
tances, but it has done more to im
prove the country roads than any
other single medium. Today you
can go through any section of the
country and find everywhere the
auto a popular and common method
of travel.

The Freight Rate Report.
The Corporation Commission pre
sented its report of the proposal by
the Railroad Companies for the set
tlement of the fight over freight
rate discriminations in North Car
olina to Gov. Craig on the 5th and
he is to very soon now to call into
conference with him the council of
state, legislative freight commis
sion and the officers of the Just
Freight Rate Association to con
sider the features of the proposi
tion. It makes a 20 per cent, re
duction in rates from the West and
lesser reductions East and North,
and the Corporation Commission
declares in the report that it makes
no recommendation for the reason
that it desires to have the advan
tage of conferences with Gov.
Craig, council of state, legislative
rate commission and others whom
the Governor may call into confer
ence on the matter to the end that
the conclusions reached in these
conferences may be as far as possi
ble harmonious.
r
A Sensible Idea.
The Franklin Times says: "Why
wouldn't it be a better idea for the
people in the country who have to
work their roads get together and
decide to take a week the first time
they could spare it and all of them
meet at the beginning of their road
with all their teams and a sufficient
number of wagons and plows and
instead of repairing the old road
build a new road the whole distance
they have to work or give five good
days of work on building their road
and if they can't complete it the
next day take that day and go over
and repair the remainder. They
could soon find time enough to com
plete the rest of it. By this means
you could get good roads at not a
cent of extra taxes and no more
labor, but on the other hand save
more than half the time it takes to
work the roads the old way in the
up keep in later years. Besides
your hauling and driving will be a
great deal more profitable and
pleasant. If an idea" of this kind
is properly used there is no doubt
but that any who are"road free"
both old and young will loin in the
work. It can't help but be a splendid
system in the fact that the majority
of the work will be done with team
instead of men, which is proven to
be the only successful way. We
venture to say that should a section
wish to work this way they can
borrow some road machinery
provided they ask for it in a con
venient time. We have heard of
one oyerseer trying this plan, a
Mr. Rogers in Harris township, and
he is receiving many compliments
upon his splendid work and the
people on the road are congratulat
ing themselves for having made use
of the plan. We would be glad to
hear of other sections following
Mr. Rogers example. There has,
so we learn, been a system with
the same results used in Hayesville
townsnip.

Dodson's Liver Tone which ope
rates so successfully in case of con
stipation, torpid liver or billious
ness that it has practically taken
the place of calomel the drug
which is so often dangerous. Lyon
who sells Dodson's Liver Tone, re
commends it as a reliever of consti
pation, sour stomach, billiousness
and sluggish liver. It works gent
ly, surely and harmlessly. If a bot
tle should ever fail to give satis
faction Lyon will refund the price
paid without question.
The price of Dodson's Liver Tone
is 50c eents.per bottle. Be sure
you get Dodson's Liver Tone and
not some medicine put up imita
tion that is not backed up by a
guarantee and that may contain
harmful drugs. Adv.
