t this time when so many Gran
ule County people have accepted po
rtions in the Dominion of Canada,
t may be interesting to note some
facts' about our neighbor to the north
0fL us. is an EnSlisn possession
and lias a population of six and one
h-ilf millions and is 3,745,574 square
jlliles in area. Owing to ts geogra
liical position, the seasons are much
laur, and the modes of farming en
tirely different from the United Sta
te The tobacco industry is almost
in Us inception which has created a
demand for experienced tobacco
CTr0vers from this country. Most of
the plants are grown in green houses
fl-hich a part or tne lime are neaiea
vith a furnace. The farmers begin
planting about the 1st of June. The
ravins of cucumbers and tomatoes
are among the most profitable money
crops. They are grown during the
winter months under green houses,
many of them covering from three to
four acres. For the past four weeks
cucumbers have beent marketed. A
basket containing 24, will sell for
three dollars. A house of two thous
and hills, will net the owner about
two thousand dollars. Tomatoes are
grown by the same process during
the winter months and are ready for
market in the early spring. The cost
of living in Canada is much more
than it is in the United States. Meat
is 28 cents per pound; coffee, 50c;
susar, 12c, etc. A good milk cow is
worth from $70.00 to $100.00. The
raising of beef cattle is an important
industry. Many yearlings at two
years old weigh 1200 pounds, and
sell ca the hoof at 8c per pound.
One reason for the high prices pre
vailing is the duty on goods import
ed from the United States, which on
tobacco is 60c per pound and 37c on
all other traffic of this class. Despite
the high cost of living, the country is
in a most prosperous condition and
no cry of "hard times" is heard. The
people are intensely loyal to Great
Britain and seem to be thoroughly
satisfied with the liberties enjoyed
under English rule.
HAKTXESS, MAX OF THE PEOPLE
(J. T. BRITT)
Mr. Editor:. I wish to say a few
words through the columns of the
Public Ledger in behalf of my old
friend, James A. Hartness, of States
ville, who is a candidate for the nom
ination for Secretary of State, of the j his recent promotion. Since the first
NOBLE SOX OF GRANVILLE
Col. Hobgood Promoted and Will

The many friends of Col. F. P.
Hobgood, Jr., special assistant to the
Attorney General of the United Sta
tes, will welcome the good news of
A SOX OF ORAXVILLE
Col. Osborn Commended by Journal
of American Banker's
Association
His many friends in North Caro
lina nrp naturallv sratified at the
great record being made as commis
sioner of internal revenue by Col. W.
H. Osborn. He has been handling
the duties of that position in a thor
oughly business-like and efficient
way, something that is not always
done by those with big government
jobs, and as a result of his success
ful efforts he has been the recipient
of much praise. The following is an
extract from a recent article in the
Journal of the American Bankers' As
sociation: "Real administrative effi
ciency is so rare a quality among the
political appointees of the govern-
great and growing State of North J
Carolina. I have known him for
twenty-five years, and it is like com
ing into fresh air to consider his
claims for the high place to which he
aspires. He is a plain man of the
people, genial, quick and accurate in
decision, frank towards all men, and
full of that vim which makes life a
thing of joy. He is a speciment of
manhood that fills citizens with con
fidence in his word and works, and
through an admirable spirit friendli
ness and broadmindedness in which
he meets all propositions, whether
from political friends or political op
ponents, and to his public service to
his county (Iredell) and State has
aroused in them the highest admira
tion. He is a true blue Democrat
and a staunch party man an earnest
believer in political organization and
responsibility, and I believe, if nom
inated, would add much strength to
the State ticket, in the campaign and
keep the party united during his term
of office, and would leave the party
stronger in power, and more effective
in the performance of its duties to
the people for his having been Secre
tary of State
If you will take the trouble to look
through the political orchard you
will find but one political party tree
that stands erect, true to its cause,
deep roted and strong in the sincer
ity of its intention, wide branched
and growing, full leafed and refresh
ing, laden with rich, ripe fruit of the
people's good and putting out new
shoots that will know the blossoming
of a glory of further legislative ef
fort which will add to our State's
progress and name it blessed, not
emly in the hearts of its citizens, but
in the country at large.
That tree represents the great
Democratic party, the party of the
people, and James A. Hartness who
for more than twenty-five years has
been one of its strong branches, and
has been the means of increasing the
Democratic majority in his section of
the State. By hard work and liberal
contributions he has helped to in
crease the Democratic mapority in
Iredell County from 700 to 1100.
Mr. Hartness is a clean, upright,
Christian gentleman of fine business
ability and emminently qualified to
fill with credit to North Carolina, the
office of Secretary of State. In the
language of the late, beloved Sena
tor Vance: "The horse that faithfully
Epulis the plow should eat the fodder,"
and for his long years of service to
the Democratic party I hope our
Democratic friends in Granville Coun
ty will give him their warmest sup
port and accord him a large vote.
Mr. Hartness has been Chairman
of the Democratic Executive Commit
Iredell County for sixteen
of last July Mr. Hobgood has been in
charge in Cheyenne, Wyoming, of li
tigation on behalf of the Government
involving large interests in the pub
lic oil lands of that state. His work
there being temporarily completed, he
has been transferred by the Attorney
General to San Francisco where, in
association with Mr. E. J. Justice, he
will take charge of the preparation
for trial and trial of one of the great
Government suits against the South
ern Pacific Railroad Company involv
ing values reckoned in the hundreds
of millions. The work thus commit
ted to his charge, it can be readily
seen, is of great interest and to it
attaches high responsibility. That
Col. Hobgood will perform the duties
of his new work with the same ef
fectiveness, which has characterized
his work in all former engagements,
is beyond speculation.
The Attorney General has been
most faborably impressed with Col.
Hobgood's work in Wyoming and it
is the concensus of opinion of many
of the leading men and prominent
both in North Carolina and Washing
ton, D. C, that the Government was
exceedingly fortunate in securing his
services in prosecuting these cases.
Besides being recognized as one of
the most gifted and astute lawyers in
North Carolina, Col. Hobgood is a
man of high character and a worthy
citizen of his native state. The men
tion of his name in connection with
the office of Governor of the State
has been received with unusual inter
est and the Public Ledgr knows of
nothing which would afford it more
DON'T ACT FOOLISH
And Don't Beat the Devil Around the
Stump.
There seems to be some doubt as
to who shall be allowed to vote in the
primary on June third. Just why our
people are confused on this subject is
a mystery to us, as the law is very
plain and has been interpreted by the
Attorney General. This law was en
acted to enable each party to select
their candidates, that is to allow the
voters of each party to name their
candidates. If you are a democrat
and expect to vote with the democrats
in the November election, then you
have a right to vote in the democratic
box in June, and likewise if you are
a republican and expect to vote that
ticket in fall election you vote in that
box in the primary. If you are not
willing to affiliate with either party
then this primary was not called for
your benefit. The average voter in
Granville is a gentleman and he will
not stulify himself by claiming to be
a democrat in June and vote the Re
publican ticket in the fall.
A Symbol of Health
The Pythagorians of Ancient
Greece ate simple food, practiced
temperance and purity. As a badge
they used the five pointed star which
they regarded as a symbol of health.
A red five pointed star appears on
each package of Chamberlain's Tab
lets, and still fulfils its ancient mis
sion as a symbol of health. If you are
troubled with indigestion, bilious
ness or constipation, get a package
of these tablets from your druggist.
You will be surprised at the quick
relief which they afford. Obtainable

real pleasure than to see him in that
seat of honor. Col. Hobgood's work
and service to the state has been
notable. It was he who secured the
enactment of the Primary Law which
should be given a fair try-out before

Granville should feel a keen sense
of pride in the successful attainments
of this noble son of hers. The Pub
lic Ledger is also glad to learn that
