f.qid o-jr section more than a hun
dred dollars worth. Mad dogs arc
dangerous thiass and can do a real
deal o:' damstge in a little time.
Now. I think It would be a good
inhi ior the w'jo e state- of North
CarH-ra when r.e legislature men's
tc put in a bill to lay L&avier tax
en do:;s to make all persons keep
their logs ou the'r . pr-e-inisos. I can
convince the popl that I am right a
bout it. Letme say that about tvo
yax ago a' man nauwd Newton and
hhi. brtuher liv.-d near Nelson, Va.
Vv'hile they were in their plant bed
drawring tobacco-plants a mad dog ran
in and bit ace o the Nektons in the
C&ceani mouth. He was bitten badly
in niiiny pieces and died a horr:
Me dath. Iio begged thorn to tie

pened to tlia,t poor little boy iai Dur
ham a short whrit back, how he suf
fered so nracih in the same' way. Not
culy that, just thank of the people
shal have gone to hospitals in the
last 8 or 10 years, f can count some
t-Jgiat or ten cases myself. Now, the
i.juesticia us., who do we vaiue the
iaoat iK'o-ple or dogs?
The uraw are ritfLt busy at this
Tiuie. using the, good open weather
seeding oats and pdcwCng their land.
They are getting ready for the next
crops, thouigika gocd many haven't ac
cmpiitsihfcd laueh farjm work yet, but
vhg time bias come when we must get

r-ay that their tobacco Is coming on
eryrt'cely. We think this is the
;-eax to piant a big crop of corn and
then i-oie everytJx-jig that we can
in the shape of provisions. Ail this
sluf is high and going higher and
nvSll ke p on so until the people get
to making more stuff than they have

TFilP OVER IN WAKE.
Mr. R. P. Hunt is a Boss Corn Rais- :
er and Gets Ten or Fifteen Let-
i
ters a Day.
F have just returned from a very :
pleasant, visit to Wake County vo see i
my brother. R. 1. Hunt, and sistt-r, ;
Mrs. John Sauorwhite. 1 found all !
well and busy preparing for another
crop. lirotiier was receiving rrom
ten to fifteen "corn" letters a day, j
and he had aH the weak he could da j
answering letters, and shelling- com j
and shipping seed corn. If you don't
believe he knows how to cultivate, !
and make good corn just go down
there next summer and see his coin
sad let huu tell you how he raised
his seed corn, lie also raises a quan
uty of clover, oeas etc. He is oio to
bacco man. And how I "did enjoy eat- I
ing good svveet-potatoes. Jclm Satter
white has recently moved down from
Granville down there. I walked ov-e-i
Shis plantation; he has one of
the best farms I know anywhere.
Twenty years ago that part of i
Wake was called "Piney Wood";
nothing but a thiek body of woods
fcr mils. Now it is thiekly settled
with energetic farmers, who believe
i. education. They have -gone to
work and built up good school; have
a beautiful school building witii. one
hundred scholars and two teachers.
The school is growing so fast they j
another teacher before the fall term, j
I went out to their Sunday school j
last Sunday. Nearly the whole neigh j
borhood, youug and old go to Sunday
school; those children can sing too.
I also went to ft marriage in the
neighborhood. Miss Pearl Daniel, tlu j
beautiful daughter of Mr. Joe Ewniel,
was married to Mr. Enoch Me Iamb,
a prosperous farmer of Sampson Co.,
There was a large number of rela
tives and friends to witness such an
important event-Dr. Cullom of Wake
Forest performed the cereomny, and
the bridal party left immediately
after for the home of the groom In
Sampson.

Facing death from shot and shell
in the civil war was more agreeable
to .J A. Stone, of Kemp Tex., than
facing it from what doctors said wtas
consumption. "I contracted a stub
born cold" he writes, that developed
a cough, that tuek to me in spdte of
ail remedies for years. My weight
ran down to 130 pounds. Then I be
gan to use Dr. King's New Discovery,
which completely cured me. I now
weigh 178 pounds. For Coughs Colds,

If yoo have ever used a Singer you know
what it is to get your needlework done
without bother or trouble, without noise
or annoyance, and without a bit of tiring.
9 Ask any user of a Singer. There are
more Singers in operation today than all
other makes combined.
i? Their users constitute the Singer's best
advertisement,
A Singer does perfect work.
$i The running end working qualities of
each Singer are thoroughly tested before
it leaves the Singer factory and that is
why it will stand the hardest kind of
use, and even abuse, throughout an ordi
nary lifetime.

With your land when for the
sake of saving a few dollars
you use a fertilizer whose
only recommendation is its
analysis. It requires no spe
cial knowledge to mix mate
rials to analyses. The value
of a fertilizer lies in the ma
terials used, so as not to
over feed the plant at one
time and starve at another.
This is why Royster brands
are so popular. Every in
gredient has its particular
work to do. Twenty-five
years experience in making
goods for Southern crops has
enabled us to know what is
required.
