In 1911, the city had a population of 261,678. Under the Roman empire. Bordeaux became a flourishing com mercial city, and the capital of Aquit ania Secunda. It belonged to the English kings from 1154 to 1453, when it was taken by Charles VII., of France. It was the headquarters of the Girondists during the revolution. and during the Reign of Terror suf fered severely. In 1870 the French I government was 'transferred to Bor ' deaux from Tours, (to which it had been moved from Paris) on the ap ' proach of the Germans to Tours. The ! trade of Bordeaux, the fourth port of France, is chiefly carried on by sea. From 1,000 to 1,200 vessels can be ' accommodated in the harbor. The I most important industry is ship- S building and refitting. Iron-clads ' and torpedo-boats, as well as mer- chant vessels are constructed. The city is the center of trade in "Bor deaux" wines. Other principal ex ports are brandy, hides and skins, sugar, rice, woolen afid cotton goods, salt fish, chemicals, oil-cake, pit wood, fruit, potatoes and other vege tables. There are also flour mills, sugar refineries, chemical works, ma chine shops and potteries. B. S. ROYSTER, Attorucy-AMaw, Offices Odd Fellows' Slda Practices in State and Federal Courts.

CALL TELEPHONE 60 B CAKE, FISH AND GRASS When told that her people were starving for want of bread, it was a queen of France who exclaimed, "Why don't they eat cake?" We are reminded of that historical incident by the advice given by Geo. W. Perkins, a millionaire, to those who feel the high cost of living and cannot help themselves. "Eat fish, says he. He evidently thinks that every house-holder has a pond in his back yard and only needs to cast a hook and line. Tn order to land a mess of fish for Breakfast or dinner He ought to know that fish are al most as expensive as meat and that if the demand for them increased the dealers would instantly raise the prices. Mr. Perkins could give much sound er advice if he suggested to the plain people to follow Nebuchadnezzar's example and eat grass. There really are 10 weeds that, in a pinch, can be used for food dock, pigweed, nettle, sorrel, purslane, dandelion, lamb's quarter, brake fern, marsh, marl gold and millweed. Nearly all of them make palataule and nourishing dishes, and a few, if prepared by skilled cooks, are appetizing and de licious. It is not likely that we will ever reach the stage when it becomes nee essary to roam the fields in search of grub, but if that time arrives the above suggestions will doubtless be remembered with profit.

We regret that the meat crop is steadily diminishing, the wheat crop of the county is growing beautifully less and corn crop is not as large as it was in the years following the Times corn contest. A man knoweth not the day or one year what will happen the next.there fore we should 159 prepared. The European war is going to make living high next year, and therefore every farmer should plant a crop of wheat, secure some hogs and prepare to make his meat and begin prepara tions for a larger crop of corn and hay next year. Not only should a farmer strive to make his bread and meat when the war is on, but he should do so at all times. The farmer who xaises his living is the prosperous farmer, with money in the bank. What profiteth you to sell your cotton and tobacco for a big pile of money and pay it all out for something to eat?

The Siamese twins, Chang and Eng were "born in Bangasaeau, Siam, April 15, 1811, and died near Mount Airy, N. C, January 17, 1874. Their father was Chinese, their mother Chino-Siamese. Bought from their mother at Meklong, a town forty miles southwest of Bangkok, Siam, they were brought to America by a Mr. Robert Hunter in 1829, exhibit ed there and then were taken to Eng land by Captain Coffin and exhibited there and in Europe for several years. They returned to America with about $80,000 and established themselves on a farm in the South, marrying two sisters. Chang had six children and Eng five, of whom eight with the two widows survived. Two of the children were deaf and dumb the rest had no malformation' or in firmity. They lost some of their prop erty, which consisted in part of slav es, owing to the Civil War, and in 1865, in declining health and impair ed fortunes they were in North Caro lina. Their losses embittered them against the government, and they re stored to further public exhibitions which met with ill success. This de termined them upon making another tour 7f Europe, and they exhibited themselves in London, February 8 1869. In 1870 Chang had a paraly tic stroke and was subsequently weak and ill. while Eng's health greatly improved. Chang died first in America, January 16, 1874, and within two hours (January 17) Eng's death followed. r.iUCIl IN LITTLE.

TO SECURE VACATION Editor Misenheimer, who suspend ed his paper, the Madison Herald.dur- ing his "hot weather" vacation, is back on the job again. He announces his return with an editorial entitled: "Mobilized." The progressive" editor declares: "After a vacation of several weeks, the Herald has again mobilized its forces and is now ready to meet the enemy anywhere at any time. Our armament is progressive and up-to- date and the morale of our force tip top. The only weak point is the com missary department, which, like that of the German army.is somewhat de ficient. We hope soon, however ,to have it up to a higher and more effici ent stand, and to be able to move for ward promptly and steadily without having to go foraging." I AM K?

BETTER TIMES Don't worry about the crops, the mills, the banks or the wars, earth quakes or other bugaboos which make up most of the meat in our menu of. daily news. No matter how much prosperity there is or isn't, your store will suc ceed on its own merits. People will go on eating, wearing clothes, using furniture and. living up to all 'the needs of modern life and that means requirements in the kind of merchan dise you carry. The store that has better goods, better service and better display is sure to go on growing bigger be cause there are always Better Times for Better Business. WEARS OUT 38 PAIRS OF SHOES. Having worm out 38 pairs of shoes, but with feet still unimpaired, B. L.

TRANSITION The way of the world is a curious way Sometimes it is night and sometimes it is day; Sometimes it is sunny, sometimes it is dark; Sometimes it is sadness, sometimes it's a lark; Sometimes it's a sob and sometimes it's a song; But whate'er it may be, it won't last very long. One day it is laughter ,the next it's a tear; . The rose and the snowflake take turns through the year. The tree that stands trembling and gaunt in the blast Will blosson again when the winter is past. So weep when you must and be glad when you may, For the way of the world is a curious way. - "Jane is so very romantic.

ARRESTED ON SHORT WEIGHT Some parties from the country were arrested last Saturday on a charge of selling butter that would not make full weight, but no action was taken against them by the court. The but ter was made out in prints which weighed only fourteen ounces each and were sold for pound prints. The parties who were selling the butter thought the prints were accurate measures of a pound and explained that if they were short weight it was probably because the butter, had lost in weight since it was moulded. So- icitor -Stephenson explained to them that the law required certain stand ards of weights and measures, and that an yone who sold articles by weight or measure could be made to pay forty dollars to any one who would bring suit against them. If the weight or measure fell short of the standard required by the state. The only safe way for persons selling pro duce is to have their weights and measures tested and scaled by the county standard keeper, and then weigh or measure their products from their wagons.- Exchange. office is located on the crest of a sand ridge in Hoke county, , right in the heart of the "sand hill country."Here among the long-leafed pines North Carolina is nursing her tubercular sick back to life and health. Getting well is the only business or occupa tion of the people living there, and sure enough they are making good at it. Here the state owns over two square miles of real estate. From the crest of the ridge on which the buildings are located, one can see from five to twelve or fifteen miles in either direction, across valleys and ' sand ridges, wooded with long-leafed j pines and black oaks. The buildings : are all frame structures, the striking ) feature of which is that instead of having ordinary sides weather-boarded up and closed in, they consist en tirely of open windows on every side. For some time every available bed in the institution has been filled. As fast as the patients are sufficiently improved to leave, others from the waiting list are admitted. The treatment of tuberculosis con sists essentially of rest, fresh air and plenty of good food. The patients are encouraged and sometimes re quired to stay in bed a great part or practically all of the time. Even when they are permitted to be up, they are not allowed to take vigorous exercise except in special cases. During the entire twenty-four hours of the day they eat, live and sleep in the fresh air. The windows are never closed except during storms, and then only on one or two sides of the building at a time. The food furnished the patient is the best available anywhere. It is simple in its character, well cooked, served as nicely as in the best hotels and served in abundance. The insti tution has its own dairy, its own truck farm and hence much of the food is strictly home grown. And about that milk. It is that cool, rich creamy milk that one gets only on the farm. The patients get an indi vidual pint bottle of it for breakfast, one for 10 o'clock lunch, another for dinner, one at 4 o'clock, another for supper and a last one as a night cap If such feeding, such fresh air, such rest and such professional medical and nursing attendance does not rout tuberculosis, it has gone too far and there is no hope, for science can do no more. Science knows of no more approved methods of combating the disease than the experts are employ ing right there at Sanatorium, North Carolina.

I had ter rible headaches, and pains in my back, etc. It seemed as if I would die, I suffered so. At last, I decided to try Cardui, the woman's tonic, and it helped me right away. The full treatment not only helped me, but it cured me."

It has helped thousands of women, why not you ? Try Cardui. E-71 3 CRYUS WATSON'S STORY B lease was evidently running against a man this time and therefore got a beating. Col. Reece, of the Greensboro Record, says this reminds him of the Hon. Cy. Vatson's' story about hunting rabbits. "Cy" says when he was more than grown he was very fond of hunting rabbits.One day he was tramping over the fields, but was having mighty poor luck. When he took a shot at a rabbit he invariably missed him. A negro boy was following him around and kept insisting that he be allowed to shoot the gun. It was an old musket, heav ily charged, and it was turned over to him. Soon he got a shot at a hare and when the old gun went off the rebound knocked the boy all around, but he brought down the game. Pick ing up the rabbit, the boy yelled out "You wuz up agin' a man dis time, you wuz." Blease was in the same fix this year. "up agin' a man."
