THE MINISTRY OF FLOWERS We recently read an interesting short story entitled "The Ministery of Flowers." The writer of the ar ticle was evidently a lover of flowers, one to whom the smallest blossom spoke in a language of its own with soothing and inspiring messages. Flowers are meant for sweetness, for purity, for fragrance; seldom do we conceive of them as possessing any large degree of utility or material profit. Esthetic enjoyment often, but cold cash, never, have we conceiv ed. as accompaniments of floewrs. But in New York city a simple flower girl outbid the United Cigar Stores Company for a favored busi ness stand in City Hall Park. Ten years, as the story goes, she had held the concession, and then it was put up at auction. For four years the flower girl, who was, by the way, a married woman, an Italian, each morning pinned one of her blossoms on Mayor Gaynor's coat. She was a diplomat. Mayor Mitche.l, being a young man, the story does not say why the morning flower-pinning was discontinued; perhaps there were do mestic objections. y But when the United Cigar Stores Company entered the bidding against the fl.ower girl things began to hap pen. -, Fifty dollars a month had been the rent for the stand- and all New York wondered how it was paid. But the girl-woman merely sold her flow ers as usual and when the bidding started she pushed the price. It soon got beyond the corporation's limit, but hot the flower girl's :$12, 120 a year she bid for the stand, and $2,020 she paid in cold cash from her old worn pocketbook. The stand is still a flower stand, and the blossoms still whisper to each other and to the flower girl of "The Ministry of Flowers." NEVER AGAIN Fairbrother's Everything: "Since Cole Blease made his dramatic exit from the State House in South Caro lina the papers are leaving him alone. He used to be good for a first page story most any day, but that will never be again. When Blease lost out for the Senate he went back among th has-beens. Many people do not understand how a man can so easily get out of the limelight, but no matter much how strong the person ality all of a sudden the public re fuses to listen longer. The case of ex-President Roosevelt is the strong st. There were men who honestly believed that time could not wither nor custom stale the gentleman ffW Oyster Bay but he, too, is number ed among the has-beens, and he can never hope to come again. Knowledge is knowing a great deal but wisdom is what keeps a man from telling all he knows. Anybody can easily find fault but those who make it a habit, are never able to find a friend who can stand for them. Some excitement has been caused by the discovery that there ar fifty three Fridays in 1915. And only one Sunday. Charlotte Observer. And his name is Billy. Wake Forest claims the distinction of having supplied from its list of graduates the last two Lieutenant Governors of South Carolina. For tunate for the reputation of the Bap tist sedt of learning that it missed furnishing thelast Chief Executive. Senator Burton is trying to prove uiiuaei w oe me "iron man" of the ! Senate. He doesn't even halt his ! talk-fest for lunch, but has raw eggsi brought him.which he swallows while 1 some of his colleagues play for time1 with a parliamentary query. j POLITICS IN PUBLIC UTILITIES We agree with the Wilmington Star that we have never been able to discover whether it is the worst for business to get into politics, . or whether it is more so for politics to get into business and do business. Government ownership. State control, or municipal ownership spells job juggling under the political spoils system that is the rule in this coun try. If service and efficiency were the controlling idea and purpose it might be different but it mostly isn't, so far as we have painfully observed. OXFORD MAN GIVES EVIDENCE His Testimony Will Interest Every Oxford Reader The value of local evidence is indis putable. It is the kind of evidence we accept as true because we know we can prove it for ourselves. There has been plenty of such evidnce in the Oxford papers lately, and this straightforward testimony has estab lished a confidence in the minds of Oxford people that will not be easi ly shaken. D. S. Fuller, grocer, 7 College St., Oxford, says: "I knew that my kid neys were disordered, for the kidney secretions ware unnatural and de posited sediment. I had a dull pain in my back and sharp, shooting twinges in my kidneys. I rested poorly and all these troubles, caused my health to become run down. When I heard about Doan's Kidney Pills, I got a supply at Hamilton's Drug Store and it didn't take them long to drive away the aches and pains." Price 50c at all dealers. Don't simply ask for a kidney remedy get Doan's Kidney Pills the same that Mr. Fuller had. Foster-Milburn Co., Props., Buffalo, N. Y. . adv FARMER SHOULD BE THANKFUL (By L. B. McFarland) To the Public Ledger: Every farmer should be very grate ful to God that he is a faremr at the present time. Every man who owns land, and is following some occupa tion in town unless, his income is exceedingly large, should turn his at tention to farming and devote his time in cultivating his land until times get better. Every man, boy and child who is turned off of public work, had better go to the country and obligate in some way, himself to some progressive farmer for this year, for thousands of men would be better off working on the farm than loafing the streets with nothing to do and facing the sinful temptations of the day. - The farmer who has wheat in his gainer; meat in his smokehouse; corn in his crib; potatoes in his barn and a little money to pay his outside bills, which can be made very small, is the man of this nation who is hap py. The writer doesn't expect to farm in time to come, but he does not argue with, the few. selfish people who try to argu against the farmers. The farmer has more freedom than any other man on earth. The farms are the healthiest place on earth. On the farm the biggest men the world has ever produced were reared. Excluding the minister of the Gospel, the farmers are doing more to advance God's Kingdom on earth than any other class of people The farmers .are absolutely the "back bone" of the world, and under pres ent conditions this is the year to prove this statement. Now. under consideration the farm es have several things which I wish to make mention of . I. Wheat to plant; 2. How much guano to use? 3. How much labor to hire. 4. What kind and how much live stock to keep First: The farmers should plant corn especially, Irish potatoes, sweet potatoes, corn, beans and peas of yar ious kinds, all kinds of garden vege tables, sow different kinds of grass to reap for hay, and just plant a mod erate crop of tobacco. Second: The farmers should con tinually haul leaves to his stables, cow lots and hog pens to make all the manure he possibly can. Then buy the very best guano he can get and use it, not as heavy as he has years heretofore for experiment, but use it as light as he can to give good results. Every farmers hould en deavor to pay cash for his guano as he hauls it, and make his bill as light isi possible. Third: The farmers should pick his hands and get the ones who will need home supply for part pay. This would be helpful to the farmer in saving him money -and helpful to the hands in pulling the hard roads. Fourth: We farmers should keep just as few horses as we possibly can do with, for business may be duller by next fall and we couldn't sell hor ses and especially coalts at any price. The thing to do is to buy every cow and calf, of all descriptions, that we can take care of until next fall, and we will find sale and high prices for beef. . Raise all the hogs you can to sell, all the lambs you can, and all the chickens and eggs you can and you will find a big demand for them this year. Another suggestion is to buy as few clothing as you can possibbly do with. Buy nothing to- eat that you can under, any circumstances raise at home. If any new . wagons, buggies, harness, or farming implements of J any kind that you can do with out,1 leave them ofL Make . all bills as small as you can when you buy, and make all bills as large as you can when you sell. Stay out of debt and you won't suffer the results ,f the war, unless the United States partici pate in it. - - :' - . TRY IT! SUBSTITUTE FOR NASTY ' . CALOMEL " . . . StartsYour Liver; Without .Making -You "&cTc"andvCan STdit Salivate Every druggist in" town yourj druggist and everybody's druggist has noticed a great falling off in the sale of calomel. They all give the same reason. Dodson's Liver Tone is taking its place. "Calomel is dangerous and people know it, while Dodson's Liver Tone is perfectly safe and gives better re sults," said a prominent local drug gist. Dodson's Liver Tone is person ally guaranteed by every druggist who sells it. A large bottle costs 50 cents, and if it fails to "give easy re lief in every case of liver sluggish ness and constipation, you have onlV to ask for your money back. ', . Dodson's Liver Tone is a pleasant tasting,- purely vegetable semedy, harmless to both children and adults. Take a spoonful at night and wake up feeling fine; no biliousness,-sick headache, acid stomach or constipat ed bowels. It doesn't gripe or cause inconvenience all the next day'like violent calomel. Take a dose of cal omel today an tomorrow you will feel weak, sick and nauseated. Don't lose a day's work! Take Dodson's Liver Tone instead and feel -fine, ,ful of vigor and ambition advt.
