' " . , MANNINGS TAKES BACK STEP. , . falls te Carry load Elactlea Far Ins . preved Highway. ' The last weeks issue of the Spring Hope Leader laments the action of the .voters of Mannings" township, who seemingly ; could not - ap preciate the improtance of the mat ter of Improved highways, and in an ungarded moment allowed old Man nings to take a backward step that can only be regained by reversing their action in the recent bond elec tion for roads. . The story of the de feat of the bond election is told by the Leader as follows: .; 1 " ' ; ' "The Leader this week represents a lost cause.' The bond election Sat urday in Mannings township was failure. There were 456 registered voters, 193 of these voted for bonds and 204 voted against bonds, though according to the act, all those that did not vote were counted against bonds, as the law says that a major ity of all qualified voters must vote for bands In order for them to be al lowed. This of course was against us as several that were In favor of bonds were sick and could not get to the polls and others who were not interested enough to come to the polls and vote. There were several opposed to bonds for various reasons, Some claim that our road supervis ors are not capable of handling the bond money, and by the way these are some of the leading men of the county; some say that we have no where here to keep the money, when we have two good banks in fine con dition; some say that 'poll tax eight dollars in Franklin county and that ours ymild be the same, when it was proven that poll tax in Franklin county is but three dollars; some say that Spring Hope would ' not pay a Cent Of this, tax when Spring Hope pays over fifty per cent of all the taxes in Mannings township. Other sucb rotten argument was also of fered. The truth of the matter several prejudiced people canvassed the township and submitted ' these facts without figures to those who knew no better and had them to be lieve that if the bonds were carried it would be their ruin and that just a few people would get the benefit, The masses just don't understand it They "cut their own throatsV at the ballot box by following the dictations of others those who would not lend them a dollar today without a mort gage. We must lay aside prejudice, get together and stop measuring others by our own "half-bushel" if we as a community ever expect to make any progress in the world.' For several yeare past Mannings has had the simple taxation system for working the public roads but there are lew u any .visible signs that anything has been accomplished",' other than spending several thousand dollars and not Ave miles of ink- proved roads can be' found in the township; . It is only a repetition of the experience of other counties and townships'that have tried the simple taxation. Ne results can be occom plished by Such a. 'system. , The is suance of ttonds insures a successful prosecution of the work and also means' a lower rate of tax:. ManningrJias, taken a backward step and her thoughtful and progres sive citizens should again get to gether and recover the ground lost. They cannot afford to lag behind the other progressive sections of Nash and the State. , Why Not Keqalre Notice. There is increasing protest against the partnership which the federal government enters into with law breakers when it issues licenses to sell liquor at retail in dry territory, but every attempt to break up this partnership is met with constitution al objection. - There is one line of attack, however, to which the liquor trust would find it difficult to make a constitutional objection.' Why not require the publication of notice be fore the issuance of federal license? A law requiring the applicant to publish notice of his intended appli cation and to serve written notice on the local executive authority would practically put an end to boot legging, for no one could afford to iJvertise his intention to violate the ocal laws. This would dissolve the partnership between the law-break- i3 mi the government. The Com- FARMERS TO MEET Dates Arranged Are Au gust 29, 30 and 3! Many Things of Interest Will be Dlscrs&ed by Experts From this State . and ' Elsewhere-The V Boys' ' Corn 'Hubs" ' Secretary 1. 0. Schaub, of the Far mers' Convention, which is to be held at the A, and M, College, August 29th, 30th. and 31st., has secured some noted speakers from other states for the occasion. One speak er already secured is W. H. Cald- weir of Peterboro.' N. H., secretary of the American Guernsey Ciub, who will speak on the Guernsey Cow and her' island home. This address should be of great interest to all those interested in the dariy. The Guernsey breed is one of the most famous of the milk producers' and Mr. Caldwell is enthusiastic for this particular breed. -' ' Mr. W. H. Merriman, a practical farmer of Illinois, will give a talk on his experience in raising hogs, particularly Berkshires. ' Mr. O. B. Martin, of Washington. D. C, will give an illustrated lecture on the Boys' Corn Clubs of the south. Mr. Martin has been associ ated with the late Dr. S. A. Knapp, and has had actiyeharge of the club work throughout the southern states, This lecture should be of great in terest particularly to all the boys, and to every one interested in better farming in the south. Mr. Ernest Starnes, of Hickory, N. C, will appear on the program with Mr." Martin and tell how he made 146 bushels of corn on one acre at cost of 27 cents a bushel. This boy won, as a corn club prize, the trip to .Washington in 1910 from North Carolina. , 1 ' Mr. W. W. Garner, of the depart ment of Agriculture, Washington, D, U, will give a lecture on the cunng of tobacco. Mr. Garner is an expert on this subject and spends his time in the field during the harvesting season experimenting this line. Negotiations are under way with a number of other men, among them Dr. C G. Hopkins, of Illinois the noted soil expert. v" . , ., One item which should prove of interest to all farmers of the state will be the auction sale of pure-bred Berkshire hogs. This sale will be held under the auspices of the North Carolina State Berkshire Association, and arrangements have been made to sell to the highest bidder from forty to fifty of the best Berkshire animals in the state. V'- Reduced rates have been secured on all the railways, and excursions will be run over the larger lines. Raleigh Times, v s The No Tree lattle. Whatever can be done to- protect our southern forests and preserve them for wise and judicious use should be attempted. Our forests are one of our .richest legacies; and while we don't want to hoard this wealth, we should use it to the best advantage" and protect it from un necessary waste. Ruthless cutting has done much toward depleting our forests. For est fires have done their part. Al lowing cattle and. hogs to free range of forests have added very largely to the waste, and insects and diseas es of one kind and another must be counted in as another very impor tant agent of destruction. Recently there has been establish ed at Spartanburg, S. C., a forest insect field station for the investiga tion of an insect that is doing con siderable damage to the pine trees of that section. ' The purposes of the field station and the Work done are of interest to us of this section as well as to all sections of the Caroli-' nas and Georgia. v : The station is now endeavoring' to accumulate exact information as to the localities in which the destruct ive beetle works. In November the plan is to issue exact information as to methods of destruction to be em ployed in the battle to be waged a gainst the insect. While we have not heard of the Slay la The Ceaatry. , The "back to the farm movement' is all right and will benefit the coun try and the cities, provided the peo ple who return to the country be long to the class which has been suc cessful in the cities and towns.; Peo ple who are failures in the country will generally prove to be' failures in the city,' and if they are failures in both places the country is in bet ter condition without them. It is all right for people who can succeed farmer! to return to the country; but tfie best plan to help develop the country and build it up and increase its prosperity ?b to train the boy and girja of the country to remain on the farms and to succeed there and make life pleasant and profita ble, from the standpoint of charae ter building and worldly prosperity, Some people will attain a measure of success in the country," will be able to make a living and to live happily; who would prove utter fail ures in the city and gain nothing but poverty and misery by attempting to live there. Therefore, country people should be Slow to leave the farms. There is no better place in the world for a countryman than on the farm and but few places .where he can live so weU and be as happy. Country life is improving. Country people now have many of the advan tages and pleasures afforded by life in towns and cities, without the dis advantages and troubles incident to urban life. They should be slow to exchange what they have f ortbe un certainties of life away from the farm. Greensboro Telegram: 4- Tae On Habit. No intelligent person can take stand against medicine, borne peo ple who neveitjke any medicine Would be in better condition' to take some occasionally. Some who take it now and then really need . it of- tener than they get it. But on the other hand there are some who take the other extreme and it may be said of -them that they have the drug habit. They seem afraid they will die unless they are constantly stuffing themselves with medicines They have an idea they must try every patent medicine which any body recommends. Uhey take medi cine until it has little or no effect on them. Then when sickness real ly comes it is hard to get medicine to reach It. It is not best to take medicine for every bad feeling. Some do this. They take headache medicines which make their Tieads ache when they are not taking them and then ease the aches when they comer Some time ago we visited a small grocery store wnicn naa a number of cases of a f 'dope." It seemed to us he had enough of 'it for all the drug stores of a city. We asked him why he used so much of it. , He explained that a great many of his customers bought it daily in drinks at his fountain and that there wqy a dance hall above his store where the young people met two or three times a week and that he sold them this dope to give them strength and to .keep them from getting sleepy and to keep up their spirits. He sold it and some of his customers did iyt seem no tare how many drinks they took nor how much dope drink contained. , y ' ' It is said of a man who attempted suicide in this county some" time ago' that he had been known to drink twelve glasses of coca-cola at a time. each glass loaded heavily with capu dine. What human being do you suppose can stand such as this.? Do hot form the drug habit and if you have already done so break off from it as soon as possible.

" RAILROAD MATTERS Is The Coast Line Going ;' Into Raleigh: Some Interesting Statements From Railway Officials as to this Marti Discussed V' .Matter . Rocky Mount, N. C., Is the At lantic Coast Line going into Raleigh by way of Spring Hope and Bunn and has the agreement with the Sea borrd Air Line terminated whereby as long as the Atlantic Coast. Line used the bridge across Roanoke river that the Atlantic Coast Line railroad was to stay out of Raleigh? There has been considerable dis cussion provoked, which . was evi denently started by an article in the state press on Wednesday morning, when it was explained that an agree ment as outlined had long existed with the Seaboard and that now the Atlantic Coast Line was about to complete its new double track bridge across the Roanoke river, that it might be expected that such an agreement would be broken and that the Atlantic Coast Line might enter Raleigh, the route seggested being the nearest possible, from Spring Hope to Bunn and on through to Raleigh, a distance of less than twenty-five miles.' When railroad folks hereabouts were asked about 1 the report they stated that they knew nothing what ever about such a plan, though it was entirely possible for the directors of the system to have the matter under advisement, without their ' having any knowledge of the matter,'; :- When asked about the agreement with the Seaboard as outlined, for the use of the Roanoke river bridge to stay out of Raleigh, it was ex plained that no such agreement ex isted, and that the Atlantic Coast Line has its own bridge across .Roa noke river in order that it might ac commodate its double tracking from Rocky Mount to RichTRend, and which is in keeping with the im provements now being put through by this company for the district be tween here and Richmond. The statement was made that the Atlantic Coast Line owned the stan dard gauge passenger line from Spring Hope to Bunn. However, this is incorrect, as it is owned and op erated by the Montgomery Lumber Company, which is in no sense con nected with the Atlantic Coast Line, that is so far as people hereabouts are aware. ,z ' Working on the old adage that there is always some fire where there is so much smoke," explained an offi cial, "it might be expected that the Atlantic Coast Line will some day go into Raleigh.,1. But as. to my plans for the near future there are none so far as the knowledge of people hereabouts extends." , : That the matter' has been long talked in fact for the past dozen years is a matter well known. ' v.- What a War Costs. It costs $1,000 every time a thir- teen-inch gun is fired. A battleship in war carries eight hundred projec tiles, two thousand medium and ten thousand small calibre, and the cost of firing there would exceed a mil lion and a half dollars. Europe's twenty-five hundred ships in .battle would burn two billion dollars worth of ammunition. . " . - ' . The fighting ships to be employed by European powers in case of ,war would extend, if placed end to end, for a distance of one hundred and fifty miles. In case of war Europe will put 40,000,000 men into the field. It would take eleven weeks.: four hours and thirty minutes for a fight ing force of this size to pass a cer tain point. . v? i'i ;v,'i.;;;;-''';i"V 'i Ships in the United States Navy are given target practice every, few months and these tests cost up in the thousands.

Fecaliar Dlsaa Claims Na9r Victims U HitchaU Caaaty. Asheville,N. C A fatal epidemic prevails in Mitchell eounty, which has heretofore been unknown to medical science, and is baffling skill ed physicians who have made every effort to check the malady, which manifests itself by small bloodshot stains on the tips of the fingers. passing through, the arm into the body and resulting in death within a few days after the first sign appears, The plague has claimed a number of victims, in Mitchell county; one of whom was Dr. F. P. Slagle. ur. uiarles Buchanan, a promi nent physician, became affected few days ago and was sent to John son City. TennM hospital where his condition is said to be critical. There are no paroxysms accom panying the attack. , The finger tips along the arm into the body and reacnes tne neart within a day or two resulting invariobly in immedi ate and apparently painless death, No. permanent relief has thus far been discovered and it is reported that the rapidity with which the malady is spreading has become alarming. ' ' locking The Boat. , We do not pretend to criticise those editors of the state who have seen fit to speak out in meeting on political affairs generally, but The Star has deprecated what evidently is mistaken judgment in tne open attacks made on the various candi dates seeking the Senatorial nomina tion in the State, We doubt wheth er any State or any party could put in the field four more able, loyal, and invulnerable men as are now candidates for the Carolina Senator- snip, cut tnat other editors look on verability from a different stand point from us, is quite evident; from the manner in which they have sailed into this fight. It is not one candidate, but all who have figured in uncomplimentary references, and it was against just this kind of busi ness the Star long ago gave -warning. We foresee now rough sled ding for the party, and if at this early stage of the campaign, about sixteen months' in advance of the primary, the thunder bolts are be ginning to be hurled, we can surely expect a party so torn to pieces that we will be surprised if it even stands a chance of electing the next Sena tor. k '" ' ! '-.::, ''" ; - Along the line that the Star has strived we find the Charlotte Chron icle saying this of the attacks made on Governor Kitchin, who is one of the four Senatorial aspirants ;V : It has been the pleasure of cer tain politicians' in the Stateo set running some insinuations as to the unfaithfulness of Governor. Kitchin to his ante-election pledges to slay the trusts. Now the charge has been openly made by two correspondents in the News and Observer and back ed by the editor of that paper, that Governor Kitchin is a recreant, or worse. That North Carolina has failed to drive capital from its bord ers in a fashion to suit these anti trust warriors is a matter for which an intelligent legislature is to blame. Governor Kitchin did not find it nec essary to meddle with the business of this legislature, or impugn its in telligence, is a fact that should be written to his credit. Gov. Kitchin's conservatism has galled a certain faction of the party, while it has pleased another and larger faction. That the extremists have not been able to bend him to their will has al ways been a sore disappointment to them. We believe that in this mat ter Governor Kitchin will be able to make good his defense. We are per fectly willing to await his pleasure in doing bo." ' ' . . , We see no way of staying the fight, but after all it may be a news paper war that will sound louder than it is. ; We fear, however, that it matters not how the fight goes and who is nominated, irretrievable damage will be done to the Democ racy of the State. . It depends how cool and level-headed the voters can remain amid the fulminations of men more interested in the Eon.: ' r- ip than the law alio ws. V.'ilr ' j- ton Star. The G. ; .
