"Be Tko Faithful." An Eastern king was once in need of a faithful servant and friend. He gave out notice that he wanted man to do a day 's work, and - two men came and asked to be employed He engaged them both for certain fixed wages, and set them to work to fill a basket with water from neighboring well, aaying he would come in the evening and see their work. He then left them to them selves, and went away. After putting in one or two buck etfuls, one of the men laid: "What the good of doing this useless work? As Boon as you put water in it runs out." x .-.. The other man answered: "But we have our daily wages, haven't we? The use of the work is the master's business, not ours." ' I am not going to do such a fool work,'1 replied the other, and,' throw ing down his bucket, he went away, The other man continued his work till about sunset he exhausted the well. Looking down into it, he saw something shining at the bottom. He let dqwn the bucket once more, and drew up a precious diamond ring.? Now 1 see the use of pouring water into a basket," he exclaimed to himself. "If the bucket had brought up the ring before the well was dry, it would have been found in the basket; The labor . was not useless, after all." , But he had yet to learn why the king Jiad ordered this apparently useless task. It was to test their ca pacity for perfect obedience, with' out which no servant is reliable. At this moment the king came up to him, and, as he bade the man keep the ring, he said: "Thou hast been faithful in a little thing; now I see I can trust thee in great things. Henceforth thou shalt stand at my right hand.',' . .. The moral is obvious: Always work willingly, however useless your toil may seem. Pittsburgh Christ- la Advocate. ,' ., More Pay For Letter Carriers. The 40,000-odd rural free delivery carriers in the United Statea,are to receive salary increases as a result of an order issued in Washington City few days ago "by Postmaster Gen eral Hitchcockr-The order provides for the: disbursement during -the current . fiscal yeac. of -$4,000,000, which will mean an increase of I10Q over the present salary of $900 fo all carriers on standard routes, and proportionate increases on shorter routes. ; , ' ..'ni.cj,S:,r . j Congress provided last session for the expenditure of this extra $4,000, 000 but left it to the discretion of the Postmaster General as to' how much of it sho.uld be expended. ; Mj Hitchcock decided to authorize , the expenditure of the full amount."! "'. His desire to compensate the car riers for any additional burden which may. be placed on them if the parcel posts system he has recommended for rural routes is approved by Con gress, was the important considera tion, Mr. Hitchcock declared which led him to makjethe authorization. , It is a noble, and great thing to cover the blemishes of a friend; to draw a curtain before his stains, and to display his perfections; to bury his weaknesses in silence, but to pro claim his virtues upon the house-top. --Robert South. ' . , - "SOAKS THE TOBaCCO TIUST. -. . . -. .." War-Krmr Co. . Win la a Leaf Drawa Oat Salt. , Raleigh, N. C, July I3.-A verdict for $20,000 damages was returned this morning by the jury in the $1,' 200,000 damage suit of the Ware Kramer Tobacco Company vs. the American Tobacco Company, after the jury had been out all night. Un der the Sherman anti-trust act, un der which the suit was brought, this verdict is trebled, making the judg ment for damages that the court en ters against the American Tobacco Company $60,000. : . The American Tobacco Company through counsel, lodged notice of appeal, but it is understood that this will be the end of the suit, which was brought on the ground that the American' - Tobaeco . - Company through the use of coupons, free and gratis goods, inside discounts and other secret and unlawful means of pushing cigarette sales, persistently invaded the trade of the plaintiffs and brought about the failure of plaintiffs, who went into the hands of a receiver in Norfolk In 1909. The trial has been in progress here for four and a half weeks. Motion for a new trial made by the American Tobacco Company is based on six alleged errors in the charge of Judge Connor and in the admission and rejection of evidence. Uounsel lor the plaintiff express great dissatisfaction at the verdict as allowing inadequate damages. It is said that five of . the jurors were opposed to allowing any dam. ages at all. The jury included seven Democrats and five Republicans, and it is understood that three of the five Republicans held out for big damages and two were against any damage at all. Three Democrats favored big damages and four want ed small damages allowed. The ver diet allowing $zo,000 was a compro mise 6f the different views. The judgment against the Ameri can Tobacco Company, for $70,000 and costs, was signed by Judge Con, nor this afternoon, ' following the jury verdict for $20,000, that means $60,000 under the provisions' of the Sherman anti-trust act, that, gives treble damages. . Also, Judge Conner, under this act, taxed the fees for plaintiff's counsel, allowing $10,000 in the case. Plaintiffs complained that the Ware- Kramer' Company, receiver is in debt $70,000 and that all the $60,000 verdict will go to the creditors, leav ing nothing" for Ware-Kramer and the stockholders. However,"they decided not to ask a new trial. Direct Primary Law. North Carolina Democrats nomi nate their. United States Senators and State officials by a primary elec tion, but as yet we have no direct primary law which enables Doth parties to nominate at the same time. The direct primary system is growing in popularity and we will have the opportunity of seeing how legalized nominating elections will turn out in the conservative State of Massachusetts. . ' ' ' , '' This year candidates for Governor of Massachusetts will be nominated by the direct, primary process, and all other State and local officers will be nominated in the same way, , ex cept members of the State commit tee and Presidential electors who will be named by a State convention. The law contains a party enrollment provision which will prevent a voter from acting in the primary with the Republican party one year and with the Democratic party the next year. It is also provided that no names can be placed upon the official primary ballots except by petition. Representatives in the Legislature of both political parties joined in the work of drafting the new law, and they had the assistance of the Repuli- ican and Democratic State Commit tees', election commissioners and oth ers familiar with electionmachinery. From all accounts the law, in its de tails, is regarded as a great improve ment on the primary nomination laws of other States. As public sen timent in Massachusetts is in favor of giving the new method a fair test in this year's elections, the experi ment will be watched with much in terest, : .. " , . . TEN BARRELS OF FLIES.. TwlveTMr-OM Bey the Champion '. la Vale Contest. . , , Worcester, Mass., Over ten bar rels of flies were gathered by the 32 contestants In an anti-fly crusade, which began on June 22. , ' The winner,; who gets a prize of $100 turned In ninety-two quarts, or a total of 1,210,000 files,' captured In traps of his own construction, " and claims- the -world's championship. He is Earl E. Bousquet, twelve years old.- r . ' ' . The entire collection of flies will be placed on exhibition in Clark Uni versity, , .,. , v : . ;-. .. Dea't KU BangTy Hashnnd. Mme. Georgette Le Blanc, Maurice Maeterlinck's famous wife, has is sued a warning to wives the woild over, in the shape of ten command ments, as follows: ' 1. I Never, allow hirelings to tend your hUBband in what concerns his bodily welfare. 2. See that his clothes are ready each day and befitting the season of each year. 3. Assume -he qualities of barometer, that you may foresee the electric disturbances which visit every menage 4. When your husband is in a bad temper don't develop similar symp toms, but when he is merry imitate him unfailingly. 5. Don't fondle him before meal time kisses to a hungry man are as soap bubbles to a parched throat. 6,. Use your tongueonly in agree ment; disapproval is best expressed with the eyes. J v 7. If your husband has the gout, don't insist on walking. 8. If you wish to convince him that you are a better actress than Bernhardt and a sprightlier dancer than Paviowa, show him that you are a better -cook than Escoffier. 8. A wile s duties are, among others, to" smooth over , domestic tiffs a man never admits he is in the wrong to attend to the house hold finances, and to have an eye for the week after next. 10. Finally, never lose sight of the fact in making all these sacri fices that if man supports the family woman is his superior in Tar more ways than he is hers. ' Possibilities of Tooth. The pride of life looms very large among the motives that determine aspirations. This is the golden sea son of opportunity. We should make much of it while it lasts. When old age creeps on and our youthful vigor becomes trophied it is too late to think of what we might have done It amounts to something to walk down the street and have people point you out as a man who has ac ompushed some great mission, whether it is to accumulate wealth or to carve a great name in the world of men and women. The - chosen youth gets . what he goes after. ' The chance is open to all. The youth who thinks that he nly has to idly wait and fate will thrust greatness upon him is sadly mistaken: He must work out his own salvation. The purse of fortun ates may smooth the , way, but real work must be done by the boy him self if he expects to be successful. Most of our great men have start ed life with but little before them. One of our presidents was a tailor and his old-fashioned '' shop' still stands as a monument . to him; an other wa3 a carpenter, another one chopped wood for an existence.'! At the time none of them ever thought the day would come when they would occupy the presidential chair. f ate sometimes makes -it? easier for some than for Others, but fate is Usually just in the distribution of her gifts. . . -V;'- Great men- are made. They ' are not born to greatness. They come into this world with the possibilities of being celebrated. .'. Take advantage of youth while the chance lasts. It can never be re newed. '' - , ' " ' The wonderful foundation of per petual youth is a myth. ' It has ever caused the death of more than one adventurer who sought to find it. There is but one youth to every life and it is air too brief. If the oppor tunity is not accepted in youth it can never be accepted at all. Memphis Appeal. . . . ,y: MUST ALL PLU TOGETHER t " Cettea Farmer Weald Advaace , '- Price ef The Prodact. If Present prospects are that there will be a big cotton crop this year. This big crop, if it comes, will be due entirely to the work of the farmers of the South. It is going to be worth a big lot of money, too, and will bring handsome profits to some body. - The question is: Who is this "somebody" going to be the farm era, or the speculators and cotton- mill men? ; , It is, of course, unreasonable to expect cotton to bring as much per pound when there is a large crop as when there is a small one; but it is even more unreasonable for prices to be hammered down when a good crop is made so that a large crop may actually bring less money than s small one. This has happened be fore now, and it will happen again unless the farmers take steps to pre vent it. The men who buy cotton are going to do all they can to force the price as low as possible. What are the farmers going to do about it? : This inquiry is likely to be met by another: What can they do about it? And often this question will be asked so as to imply that they can do nothing. This we do not believe. There are several things the individual farmer can do, and Others which farmers as a class can do. 1. The individual can, first of all, make provision right now for enough feed for his live stock, so that he will not have to sell cotton and buy feed. . He still has time to make sure of this; but he must act at once. I. tie can, u he wui start now, have hogs enough to kill so that he will not have to sell cotton and buy meat 3. He can-keep the garden going and raise his own vegetables and maybe a surplus. - 4. He can take care of the poultry and the cows and make them source of income. There are other things he can do to make himself independent of his cotton crop; and every man who is able to hold his cotton and market as he chooses can help to insure profitable prices for the crop, while every man who must sell is going to help depress the price. Acting together farmers can agree upon a plan of marketing and keep the whole crop from being forced on the market at once. They can make arrangements with their local bank ers for loans, if they need ready money in the fall. In many cases, the farmers themselves can finance the cotton crop of their neighbor- hood, by helping out with short- time loans, secured by the cotton crop, those who would otherwise have to sell at once. They can keep more negro tenants from rushing the whole crop on the market soon as made, and this they must do if they would keep prices up. Ev ery neighborhood which handles its crop in a business-like way will .help to maintain prices and will help to bring nearer the much-dreamed-of day of scientific marketing. Pro gressive Farmer. Stick to Tonr Cotton. As the summer advances and the weather continues hot the temptation to lay by cotton too early will be felt Cotton is a late growing plant and therefore should have late culti vation.; Most other crops will soon be out of the way, and it does seem that farmers could continue cultiva ting the cotton until the time comes to stop. Why should a farmer quit his cotton two or three weeks too soon when he would probably lose thereby two or three bales of cotton! One of the best ' farmers we ever knew made it a rule to plow his cot ton one time in August every year. His advice to his neighborhood often repeated was this: "Don't lay by your cotton too early, give it one plowing in August." ' Had he been happy and faultless. I would not have loved him as I did. There is a degree of pity in all our friendships. Misfortune has an at traction for certain souls. The cfr went of our heart is mixed .with tears and nearly all our deep affec tions have their beginning in some sorrowful emotion. Lamartine. DIES TRYING TO SAVE GIRL I. C. Barke, Phlladelphlan, and Wo anaa Drewa la Owace Lake. Auburn, in. i .a gigantic wave on Owasco Lake swept Miss Ade laide McCarthy, 18 years old,- and her cousin, Edward George Burke, aged 22, of Philadelphia, from the grasp of rescuers to death in the lake tonight. Burke, who was a good swimmer, had battled for the life of his com panion lor hair an hour, and was preparing to assist her to the hands of four men in a motor-boat when the wave swept them away, half fill ed the boat silenced the engine and set the craft adrift Save the girl, fellows; don t try to take me in," shouted Burke, who was treading water with the girl in his arms. A moment later the wave blotted both from view. Two Crop on all Lead. . In the Cotton Belt two crops a year on all land in possible, practica ble and profitable under a proper system of, farm management; and while some may not be able to at tend such - intensive cropping, it should be the aim of every ambitious farmer. Perhaps the one reason most fre quently advanced for failure to plant the oat and wheat lands in some legume catch crop is the diffi cu in preparing the land. There is, .4 tor good management at this point for the difficulty is a real one. The eorn and cotton crops are usually demanding the attention at this time, and while the seeming scarcity or men could be overcome by the use of larger and better im plements, the horse-power is still larking. Moreover when the oats and wheat are cut the land soon be comes hard jd difficult- to put in good condition for seeding to the catch rops. All of these difficulties under our system of farm manage ment are real and serious ones; but the advantages of keeping the land growing a crop all the time are too great to justify a failure to solve these difficulties. . In the first place it is certain that these lands should be prepared and seeded as soon after the oats and wheat are cut as possible, This - is important because the sooner the catch crops an planted the better for them and the sooner the land is prepared the more easily it can be done. If these crops could be re moved as soon as cut the difficulty would be largely Solved, but they must be shocked and left to dry for sometime, and this is the chief ob stacle to prompt an easy prepara tion of the land for catch crops. Again, when the land is broken there must be no delay in using the smoothing harrows and the roller or other clod crusher, when necessary to thoroughly pulverize the land before the clods or lumps have had time to dry out and become so hard that thorough pulverization is im possible. Land that breaks up in lumps may usually be well pulver ized if it is disked or harrowed im mediately after being plowed, but if these lumps are allowed to dry even for a few hours on a hot dry day, it may be impracticable to pulverize them until heavy rains come. Pro gressive Farmer. Peas and Cotton. : Did you ever plant any peas in cotton? We suppose you replanted some cotton with peas and that the vines ran' across, the rows and up the cotton stalks and gave you much trouble. We have learned a better way which is to sow peaa in every other middle when the cotton is plowed the last time about August 1st ; By sowing them late they do not run hardly at all, but grow al most straight uptmd so are riot in the way of the cotton pickers. Sow ing only every other middle leaves clean middles for the pickers, The peas sown in the cqtton should be sown on the poorest land. There they are most needed and would, not be overcome by the rank cotton. For several years we have done this with satisfactory results. You could hardly expect to gather a crop of peas sown so late. If you have any seed peas left over, try them in your cotton, Smi'vlSeli Herald. PROTECTIOtl!
