A THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
There are people who go
bout the world looking for
slights and they are necessarily
miserable, for they find them
at every turn. Henry Drum
mond. Endeavor to be paltent in
bearing with the defects and
infirmities of others, of whatso
ever they be, for that thyself
also hast many failings, which
most be borne with by others.
Thomas a Kempis. -
SHOULD MAKE PROVISION" FOR ' LARGER USEFULNESS.
Of course, the next legislature, just as Vvery other law-making
body," will be confronted by demands for increased appropriations
for various purposes.. It is always quite a problem for such a
body to supply the most urgent needs with the money at hand and
it is often necessary to turn down propositions that would doubt
less be adopted but for the lack of the necessary funds. That will
probably be the case at the session of the General Assembly which
convenes in January. " 1 "
i However, it is earnestly to be hoped that the law-makers will
find some way to make provision for the extension of the excel
lent work being done by the State Sanatorium for the treatment
of tubercular patients at Montrose. That institution, which is per
forming a most, useful service under present conditions, could do
k great deal more if the funds were available.' , As it is, it is nec
essary to turn down many desiring admission and frequently those
who are to be admitted have to wait a considerable time for a va
cancy. With money at hand sufficient for the erection of an
other building or two, many more patients could be accommo
dated and consequently greater results accomplished along the
line of work for which the institution was founded. 1
We feel sure the people at large do not realize the great work
being done by Dr. L. B. McBrayer and his associates at the State
Sanatorium, not only in the treatment of the patients there but in
the dissemination of useful advice to those suffering with tuber
culosis at home. We weremuch impressed with an article on the
subject in Charity and Children by Mr. Archibald Johnson, who
recently was a visitor at the institution. Certainly we feel that
the State can well afford to be as liberal as possible in providing
for its needs. .

One of the most notable developments in the national political
situation recently is found in the fact that quite a number of prom
inent Progressive leaders have come out in favor of President Wil
son. Following closely upon the endorsement of California Pro
gressives, the chairman of the party in New Jersey and also a
leader of the New York organization holding a -similar position
came out for President Wilson. And now Bainbridge Colby, who
placed Col. Roosevelt in nomination for the presidency at the Pro
gressive national convention in Chicago, has announced that he
favors the re-election of our present chief executive.-
In announcing his decision Mr. Colby, who is one of the strong
est men in the Progressive party, makes some rather significant
observations. - He is quoted as saying that the opposition to the
president's re-election "proceeds from an unregenerate Republi
canism," of which Charles E. Hughes is a "decoy and reliever."
He adds that, if Mr. Hughes were elected, the old guard would
"rope him and tie him, as they did. when he was governor, reduc
ing him to plaintive futility." ; ..-v t ;.
Not only are many former Progressive leaders for President
Wilson but they will doubtless be followed by thousands of the
rank and file of the party, who feel that Mr. Wilson comes much
nearer representing the principles in which they believe than does
Mr. Hughes. Indeed the latter, although referred to by G. O. P.
leaders as a representative of progressive Republicanism, has
shown himself to be much more acceptable to the Old Guard than
to those members of the party who belong to the other wing of
the organization. The Springfield Republican said of his accept
ance speech that it could have come just as well from "Uncle Joe"
Cannon or any of the other "standpatters" as from the Republican
candidate. .-.'.'..-: ,
Many Progressives feel the same way about it. , And when the
time for the November election comes they are going to express
their views in an unmistakable manner in favor of Woodrow Wil
son and the policies for which he stands. ,

THE AMENDMENTS
Col. Al Fairbrother, the versatile
editor of Everything, is "agin" the
tour proposed constitutional amend
ments. Hear him:
"Many men are now telling the
voters that the four different amend
ments to the Constitution should be
voted on favorably this fall, and that
they should -pass. This, however. Is
all buncombe. North Carolina doesn't
need any change of Constitution, She
needs to enforce what laws she has
and all will be well. The Ten Sacred
Amendments which the intelligent
people happily - swatted two 'years
ago would have done no good. The
four proposed this go round are not
what we want. The proposition to
make it unlawful to grant special
charters to towns in the state when
about half the towns already enjoy
special charters is not- honest and
It will not carry If the voter exer
cises his intelligence.'
We feel sure the Colonel is wrong
about this matter. We are not In
favor of changing the Constitution or
anything else merely tor the sake ot
a change, but there are times when
conditions amply Justify alterations
even in such a sacred document aa a
Constitution, and when such a time
arrives the amendment should be
made, despite the protest - of those
who seem to think that -he old is
necessarily the best,
We would not be in favor of an
agitation every year or two for the
amendment ot the Constitution And
we suppose there are very few who
would desire that. However, judging
from the past, there Is no danger of
this. The North Carolina Constitu
tion has suffered about as little
change as any document of the kind
of which we have any knowledge, and
a few alterations it this time would
not hurt it On the contrary, they
are very much needed. In our opin
ion. .
Aa to the proposed amendment to
relieve the legislature of the neces
sity of handling so many local mat
ters that. It seems to us. would be,
as we have said before, especially ad
vantageous. ' A good deal has been
said -on this proposition but we have
not yet seen a real argument advanc
ed against it. Why the State legisla
ture should be compelled to give
time and attention. to matters ot
purely local Importance, which could
naturally be handled to much better
advantage by local officials, has nev
er been ' explained satisfactorily to
us. Of ' course, ' this amendment
should be adopted, whether the oth
ers are favorably acted upon or not
TRYING TO AVERT STRIKE
The country Is Indeed to be con
gratulated upon the decision of those
engaged In the controversy between
the railway managers and the train
men to give the Federal Board ot
Mediation and Conciliation an oppor
tunity to seek to avert the threatened
strike. And while there seems to be
a deadlock in the negotiations at
present, we. cannot but feel that an
amicable adjustment will be reached
eventually.
The Board of Mediation ' and Con-
dilation has been instrumental in
the settlement of some vexing indus
trial difficulties in the past and there
is reason to believe the .members ot
that body will ' be able to overcome
the obstacles that present themselves
in the present situation. Certainly
the threatened strike should be avert
ed If there is any way to do it, and
we believe the railroads, the train
men and the mediators will do every
thing that Is possible along that line.
And, ff the present effort falls, there
is still a chance that President Wil
son may be able to accomplish some
thing. We cannot think that there
will be a strike, although the outlook
is certainly gloomy at times.

One Forsyth County Pig

Miss Rachal Speas Gives Experience in Raising North Carolina's
Prize Pig All Eyes of Many States Turned Toward the Work
of Agricultural Club Members Important Factor in Improv
ing Rural Life. .
They are efforts of business men to Im
prove rural life. ". 1: s
"Besides being a club member this
year, I am serving as a sub-agent in
canning work. It is Indeed Interesting
to note the enthusiasm aroused by in
troducing the new methods ot doing
the work. Learning how to pack and
seal cans Is vevy Interesting, and in
fact fascinating, but packing in glass
containers for exhibition seems to be
more fascinating. .
' "The inspiration derived through
club work urged me to take a rural
supervisor's course when 1 went away
to school. I - had trouble finding a
school offering such a course, but
finally succeeded. The course I am
now taking Is In preparation for this
home demonstration work. While in
school we are taught actual garden
ing, just the same as in the club work,
so you see the experiences we have in
our club work will be of value to us In
our school work. -
"Not only do the directors of the club
notice our work, but people of every
class are noting our progress. Pardon
m for being so personal, but since my
picture and the statement about the
prize pig were published, I have had
some little distinction as a pig raiser.
I have been receiving letters of con
gratulation from various? parts of the
country, from Georgia, Ohio, Florida,
Illinois, Kentucky, etc.
"About the most interesting one was
from a stock raiser of Illinois. Be
sides relating many Interesting inci
dents about swine and stock raising he
told of the efforts his brother is mak
ing to produce a new breed of swine
to be known as the Amalgamated
breed. He is doing this by raising five
breeds the Yorkshire and Tamworth
as bacon types and the Poland China,
Duroc Jersey and Berkshire as the lard
types. -
"Another letter was from a Middle
Atlantic State stock raiser, who is now
a soldier on the border in New Mexi
co. .
"I could tell of many others, but
this is sufficient to prove that our work
is being watched everywhere. I be
lieve that through the agricultural
clubs the basis of future development
of rural life is being laid. The club
boys and girls of today are to be the
farmers of tomorrow. So if we are to
be the farmers of the future let's learn
to do things In an efficient and progres
sive manner. We must thus rally to
the support of the future of our na
tion." ,
The following history of Agricultur
al Club work, giving some personal
experiences, was read at the recent an
nual picnic of Forsyth Club members
at Nissen park by Miss Rachael
Speag, of Winston-Salem, Route 7.:
"It was through the Progressive
Farmer that I first became interested
in club work. We had corn clubs In
our county, but the work did not ap
peal to me as tomato club work did.- I
read of the success others were hav
ing and It made me eager to have one
near that I might Join. However, the
next spring I ventured into tomato
growing without the organization and
help of a club.
"I planted . 61 plants and worked
with thenr. faithfully until the mature
fruit appeared. Every tomato that
came on the vines decayed and finally
I gave up the patch as hopeless. But
toward the latter part of August I
took new courage and harvested a
good crop the latter part ot Septem
ber. ; , ; ,' .
"The next year a club wag organized
and my. work, was more interesting.
Besides harvesting a better crop, I
learned that there were other advan
tages besides' earning a little 'pin
money.' Club work teaches-self-confidence,
and the work and persever
ance bring results. By having a lim
ited space In which to do our work
we get the idea of intensive agricul
ture, and that grand idea of landscape
gardening.
"The third year 1 found that the to
mato club work could be made more
profitable by supplementing the work
of the pig club. So I purchased a
Tamworth pig. The first night Tam
worth came home it escaped from the
pen and caused a Sunday morning
search by every member of the family,
but it. could not be found. Finally, af
ter a long stroll, it returned of its
own accord. .
"By having a pig I felt that I could
feed it the refuse from the cannery,
and thus utilize the waste. My Tam
worth fed mostly on clover and
milk until the middle of August, when
the feedstuff was Increased slowly.
By September 15 it was Increased rap
idly to get the pig in shape forthe fair.
With plentiful supply of food and fre
quent scrubbing and oiling the pig be
came so plump and beautiful that
when it was exhibited at the Winston
Salem and Greensboro fairs it copped
first prizes, and at last at the State
Fair a separator, valued at $40, was
awarded to me for scoring the highest
in the work in North Carolina. I then
sold the pig for pork, having received
through prizes and for the porker a to.
tal ot $113.25.
"Now don't think that this pig Just
grew to be famous from no cause. It
was untiring an unceasing effort that
developed this pig. We must remem
ber that the more we put into a thing
the more we get out of it a So it Is
with a pig. It did not stand in the
middle of the pen like a statue and
just grow without any attention. It
took many a stroll to the distant corn
field to cut down stalks after the corn
had been used for the table. Perhaps
In the hottest part ot the day I carried
the corn to my pig.,; I could tell you
lots of things that were done In rais
ing that piK, but time will not permit
Just bear in mind that we must work.
We get no marked results without
work.. . '
"To further increase my Interest 1
club work the county has given me
trip to the agricultural club conven
tion to be held the latter part of Aug
ust. In this way I can learn more
about the work and become acquaint
ed with those people who are. exerting
every effort to promote It. -:
Last year, in the interest of the
Canning Clubs of the county the Wa
chovia Bank and Trust Company made
a generous donation of a $1 deposit to
every club girl making an exhibit at
the county fair. Besides encouraging
the girls to work to attain success, it
creates the idea of saving. Such do
nations are more than advertisements.

an English love story and we hope
the whole case and especially the

BOND ELECTION FOR
GOOD ROADS IN
WILKES COUNTY
' ' -.1 .:':' - ,
Mnrfh Wilkesboro. Aug. 12.
Urge crowd attended a good roads
meeting held in the Wilkes county
onnrt house Monday. Many of the
prominent citizens ot the county are
deeply lnterestea in mo u h
tlon, and hope for the success of the
proposed bond issue.
Mr. R. N. Hackett, who explained
the purpose of the meeting, pointed
out that under the present law every
man of road age was required to give
six days work to the roads 'each year
and pay a tax of ten cents per. $100
worth of property besides. In case
of a bond issue the free work would
be eliminated, and the ten cenFtax
alone would pay the principal wnmu
thirtv of their issuance. Fol
lowing this explanation, Mr. Hackett
continued his address by presenting
rnments in favor of the bond issue
and setting forth the need ot better
roads in the county ana me import
nr of seizing the present opportuni
ty of making their construction a spe
cial and immediate advantage to the
nnni ThA migration from the
Mum nt neonle who have been ren
Harari dnntitute by the floods and the
necessity of furnishing employment
to- worthy citizens in order to keep
them, was made a strong point in the
argument. '
Mr. R. Don Laws then made a mo
tion that the meeting elect a central
committee of twelve memDers ana
two committeemen from each town

the central committee in organizing

passage and the convincing argu
ments in its favor seem to point the
way to its success.
