SHERRII.Lt Editor and Publisher. ft ' Henry Tot On f the Mast Talked Men in America, Detroit, Mich, Jan. 19. Henry Ford, president of the Ford Motor Company of this city, who astonish ed the industrial world a week or two eg by the announcement of his plan i snare lo,uw,wo of 1914 proBts with employes, hss suddenly become one of tbe most talked about niea is tbe .country. Doubtless msny persons heard the name of Henry Ford for the first time when they read of his plan to divide millions among his employed as a method or takinr dividends in good-will. Others, perhaps already had heard of a man named Ford who was among the pioneer inventors and manufacturers of motor ears. But of the man himself very little has' been learned by the general pub lic. While spending millions yearly to gain publicity for the products of Jus factories Mr. ford has displayud equal seal in avoiding publicity, It seems hardly credible that a man who has built up one of the largest industries in America, a man who em ploys nearly 30,000 men and women, a man who pays today tbe third larg est income tax of any man in the world, should not hsve hia name men tioned in the ordinary reference books containing biographies of the "men of the day." - Scarcely more than a decade ago Henry Ford was a working machin ist.. In his small circle of friends and aequaintanees he was known n? a mechanical genius. He wss always Mtf Fnrd bas the apearance of being about six mires froiu. iJetrox...'

Undaunted by this and L--..,.- u. tL.j k..:h itUe mannfactore of automobilos. Fin- ally' he succeeded in getting together a few thousand dollars with which he started operations. His success was marvelous from the start; Before long he was in a position to raise, all the. capital of., .whiclu ho' had need. His factory grew like the beanstalk in the nursery tale.. New. buildings and additions were put up ' almost over night. Still the capacity of the works was unequal to the demands.' One mammoth building after another was added until today the plant 'is a good-sized city in itself. The fam ous Krupp plant at Essen, Germany, is not so extensive,; nor does it em ploy so many men, although Krupp has most of the governments of tho world as customers, i ' ' ' - The Ford plant includes the largest machine shop in the world..

F. Pharr vs Ca barrus county the jury returned a rer- oiet in ravor or the eounty. There were six issue submitted to tbe jury. The 'pivotal issue, however, around which the other issues depended was did the plaintiff begin the action to recover damages six months after the road was accepted by tbe county. The jury answered this verdict no. which put an end to the ease. The statue requires that an action to recover damages by reason of the location, or relocation of a road be begun within six months after the road is accepted by the eounty. The plaintiff's action was besnn Novem ber 22, 1913, and the defense claim ed that the road was completed be tween 1 and 14, which is more than six months before the time the ac tion was started. Messrs. Hart sell and Williams. counsel for the defense,- based their anruments chiefly on this point. Msj. W. A. Foil, the contractor who bniit the road, testified that the -road was completed May 1. Mr. Q. E. Smith, engineer, testified that henisited the road May 14 and it was complete Mr. J. M. Burraire, superintendent of roans, testified that the road was com- p'etcd and accepted at that time. Tlu'' nerense also stressed the point that the county supervisor' was the prop - er authority to accept' a road com - pleted and not the commissioners. Mr. M. n. Caldwell, counsel for .L ...... .! i piaimin, anruea mat the roadl was not accepted until the first Mon-j wj'od this moining and rompletod day in June, which would be within j tllis afternoon.

He contended that concluding the hearings f the larger the commissioner did not accept nnd,Hnes of he State. Tuesdav there pay for the work until that time and,; therefore, the road was not regularly acceded ly the eounty. He also pointed out.ir discussing "the statue of limitation" phase of the case.' m me nm isr:? became known during the trial, the testimony of Engineer Long, who testified that in his opin ion the road was not yet completed.

The investi- i gation, which was not completed, was wus"01 onc'uaea ere today. The jury ren- dered the verdict that Fisher came to his death from the result of a pis tol wound at the hands of an un known person, presumably John Par ker. Parker was held for a relim inary trial before a magistrate, which will probably be held tomorrow. Parker says he was at the pig pen, near the house, when he heard the pistol shots, and ran into the room to find Fisher dead. Several white citizens who live near say they did not see Parker around the. bouse. It seems to be the general impression that Fisher accidentally shot himself, but the fact did not warrant the re lease of Parker until a complete in vestigation has been made.

Sine tbea I have been asked to writ more fully aboat it I understand that th com pany is incorporated for fS.OOO. They began business with about $1,200 paid in, but they now hav between tea and twelve thousand paid in. Th greater part of it is owned by farmers that hav only a few share of stock. By owning stock they get one eent a pound more for their but ter rai tney send to th creamery, than parties baring no stock. No on person can own more than 25 per eent of tbe paid in eapital, ine eream is collected bv wagons. Every farm furnishinr cream is num bered and when the eream is weighed there is a small amount put in a bot tle, bearing the correct number, and dropped into the can. Tbe cans hold 80 pounds and may contain the eream from two or more farms. When the cream arrives at the creamery the bottles containing the samples are taken to the testing room and subjects to the Babcock tester. Tbe creamery made fourteen thousand pounds of cream in November, and paid thirty-three cents a pound for butter fat. Could they have made twenty-five thousand pounds thev could have paid thirty-eight cents for butter fat, because all the additional expense they would have had would have been about $30.00 for packing. The most of tbe cream in furnished by parties keeping only a few cows and using had separators. The butter is sold at thirty-five cents r. O. B.

Parties having eggs are furnished with boxes holding one dozen, and bearing the creamery stamp but numbered with the farmer's number. It is printed on the boxes that any eggs, found to be bad must be reported to the com pany and also the number of the box containing the eggs. Some of the fames have fine bred poultry but most of. them have a mixed - flock. However, I saw at Mr. Roberson's dairy about three hundred white leg horns. They were scattered all over the yard, barn yard and "everywhere else and it was a beautiful sight. The Dutch dairy, owned bv the Lentzs, has some of the finest cows in that section and are always well up m a milking contest. G. C. GOODMAN. Stockment Meat in Denver. Denver, Colo., Jan. 19.
