He was 71 years of age and was wide ly known in Greensboro, both as a skilled physician and as a*steady and untiring church wockef/ he having r-been senior warden of Holy Trinity Episcopal church for many years. News of hjk death caused genuine regret m many parts of the city where Dr, Dodson was known and loved be cause of his great kindness of character. Dr. Henry H.

He attended Hampden-.Sidney college, in Vir ginia, and later received his de gree from the Medical College of Virginia, where he was an honor student. He returned to Milton follow ing his graduation and took up the practice of medicine, and in 1883 was married to Miss An nie Barrett, of Wyethville, Ya.. who died more than jo years ago. C oining to Greensboro in iQOg, Dr. Dodson decided to relinquish the general practice of medicine and to devote his time and at tendon to X-ray work. In this line he Was acknowledged to be one of the foremost specialists in lx or tli Carolina. He was a mem her of the state medical society, a '•-charter member of the Tri-State Medical society, and for three years he had served on the state board of health.

STRESS EIGHT POINTS IN BETTER FARMING ' Raleigh, N. C Oct. > Xf.-** Critical'situations like thi' present ill o it ton growing territory will not' he remedied by reduction of cotton acreage- alone hut other better fanning methods must he conducted to meet the situation. "North Carolina has increased the acreage to cotton to some ex tent hut not so largely as have other sections," saj• Ite&tt 1 (>• Sehaub of North,, t‘aroliifa State College. “Our state is still one cif the most diversified farming sections of the United States. To continue this idea of balanced Tanning is one of the most im port ant jobs before the farmers and agricultural workers of North Carolina at this time." „ To assist in— this_ movement, Dean Sehaub has outlined eight impujtaut points which will gov ern the activities of extension workers during the coming year. These, briefly, are: .- . i. Each farmer should grow sufficient grain and roughage to supply the needs oj bis livestock and work animals. 3. An all-year-round garden is needed on each farm to supply the needs of the family with a surplus to market. 3. I here should be at least 50 laying hens to supply the family needs with a surplus of both poultry and eggs for market, 4. At least one family cow should lie on every farm and more where feeds are available. The surplus milk and butter or cream may he sold on the market. 5. Produce sufficient pork for family needs and where there is surplus corn, the supply of hogs should be increased for market purposes. • t>. Plant cotton only on the best cotton lands and restrict the acre age to those binds which will produce at least one half bale per acre. ; 2- Have at least two so-called money crops on each farm. 8, Begin a definite rotation of crops in which legumes are in cluded to improve the fertility of the soil, __ If these eight points are adopt ed by the cotton farmers of North Carolina, states Dean Schaub, the cotton acreage will automatically lie decreased and there will be b-ss distress cotton. Jt - _ i Farmers of Stanly county be lieve that one way to reduce the .cost'<>f producing cotton.is- to use better seed and they are saving the best seed fi¥}"m their pure bred strains fpr planting next spring. _ » One brood sow and two litters of pigs per year cost littlp but will aid much in providing a plentiful supply of meat on the home farm. It is a crime against childhood not to have a family cow on the farm. TO THEVOTERS CASWELL COUNTY We are nominees of the Republican Party in Caswell County for the offices of State Senator from the Sixteenth Senatorial District of North Carolina, and member o& the House of Representatives, in the next General Assembly of North Carolina, respectively. ;^||| We favor a State School System supported by a tax rate which | will be applied equally in all Counties of the State. I -tH We favor the election of the County Boards of Education, by a direct vote of the people.; We favor the genuine Australian Ballot to be used in all elec tions. which will guarantee to every one the right to vote for his or her choice of candidates for office, regardless of political affiliation, and thereby encourage independence in voting. We favor repealing Representative Neal's Dog Law, which waa enacted at the last session of the General Assembly, and which has been disgracefully nullified in our County. We stand for strict enforcement of all laws upon our statute books, both State and National. We are opposed to the issuance of State Bonds to secure money to be used in building ports and terminals on the North Carolina Coast, w'hich issue was adversely decided by a large majority of the voters at the last^general election, but which issue seems destined to be revived at the next session of the General Assembly. vjj Upon these issues we invite your suffrage. If you feel inclined to support us, we shall appreciate your good will and votes. If your minds lead you to vote for our opponents; we still hope to maintain your personal friendship and confidence. „ DR. F. P TUCKER I ' L. L LAMBETH REDUCING AT THE WRONG PLACE The following news was sent out from Raleigh Monday morn ing: ''Reduction of-state taxes—income, franchises, license, and other varieties—islikely to be a big Issue at the session of the North Carolina general assembly in the winter of 1927. This is in view of the fact that the tax paying power of‘the state has obviously been underrated for the present biennium by the governor and his advisors of the budget bureau.” Income, franchise, license, and other varieties, but not a word about the farmer, who, of all people, should be considered. Oh, we know many will say at once, why, the state collects no tax from the farmer. Yes, but it does. The state says you shall maintain a six months school term, and the farmer pays more than his just part of this tax. Certainly, the county levies the tax, and the county sheriff' collects the tax, but the state says they shall do it, and if the county fails to do it, then said county fails to participate in the equalization - which does not equalize—fund which is distributed to the counties, so-called pauper counties. Person levies a school tax as per the mandate of the state, and that tax is more than all of the other taxes, including roads, and yet, they stand up and1 say the state collects no tax from the farmer. Many people, honest people, have really thought the state did not collect any tax from lands, etc., and some of the politicians get red in the face and bless you out wh^n you tell them better. When the state segregated the taxes and took over corporation and fran chise, and inheritance, and incomes, etc., they left for the county only the land to meet all of the burden of schools, roads, bridges, county honjes, and all general expenses of the county. It was just about like the case where the farmer owned the cow and calf, and the sheriff came along to collect the taxes due by the farmer. He said he would only take the cow and leave the calf to provide milk and butter for the farmer's family. The state took the cow and left the calf for each county to get its revenue. If the state has money to burn under the wise administration of the present-governor, and undoubtedly there will be a large surplus, why not let the fellow who is fortunate enough to have an income large enough to be taxed continue to pay thi$ tax, and let the state take off part of the burden of schools, thus enabling the counties to lower its rate for this purpose. But no. this will not be done, because there will be too many members of the general assembly who pay an income tax. The farmer has been the goat for many years; he has not been able to break even on his farm for several years, and unless all signs fail he will have the same result with this crop, but he will get just the same treatment he has in the past, and that is, PROMISES. Oh, if he could live on political promises, how rich he would be, but promises, like pie crust, is easily broken. (Editorial from Roxboro Courier, June 16th, 1926.)
