# LIVE TOPICS j ? SOME OF THE THINGS NORTH ? 0 CAROLINA EDITORS (/ J TALK ABOUT f Concord Times: Mr. J. F. Kasley. ^ of No. 2 township, tells us that lie can fully counted the blooms on ten stalks of cotton on his farm. On 1 September Mh lie counted the bolls on the ten stalks, and there were j only 102, a shoriace of 202. The i stalks, he says, are about three ffet ; high and the bolls are thin on the stalks. He says this is the condi tion throughout his crop. o Lexington Dispatch: The Farmers' Union U doing more for the farmer today than all other agencies com bined. It is going to the botton of things, reaching the wealthy planter and the humble 'cropper,' fostering the spirit of universal brotherhood and catering to no man or class of men. It Is avoiding the pitfallx that ?wrecked the Farmers' Alliance and like organizations in the past by keeping out of politics and confining its operations to those things which vitally affect farm life. Ashevllle Citizen: li goes without, saying that the farmer of tills day and age has surely come into his own. From all sections of the land are heard sage counsel and advice to the effect that the country's hope of prosperity lies in the soil, or rath er the cultivation thereof. The young men and young women of the coun try are being, and are to be taught that farming can well take a high place among the arts and sciences, and that they who follow It have chosen wisely and well. Whltevllle News Reporter: Mr. R. T. Brltt, one rf our county's host farmers, who lives in the Prong sec tion, says he bag five acres of pro lific corn, and which Just can't b' beat. On some stalks there are five or more ears. There is no estimat ing how many bushels per acre Mr. Drltt's corn will make. He paid per bushel for the seed and says farmer who plants this variety of prolific corn will never have to buy. We Intend to visit our friend llrltt and tell about his nice farm. o Roanoke-Chowan Times: The neces sity for a legalized primary law for all parties is more apparent every day. Several conventions, both Re publican and Democratic, held tills year were a dlsgracce to the State. Years ago the Democrats made much fun of the Republican conventions, and they were so disgusting that they made votes for the Democrats, but now the methods employed by Demo crats In many ccounties are making votes for the Republicans. The trail ing and trafflclng, and other ques tionable methods practiced In many places will result in placing Incom petent and corrupt men In office. o Nashville Graphic: The question of better roads for Nash county is an all Important one and ever and anon is heard the report that some town ship In Nash will soon make a move to better the conditions. In Coopers township the people are beginning to agitate this question and at an ear ly date there will be a good roads rally at Sandy Cross, when the peo ple will be addressed on the impor tant matter and plans will be laid for the adoption of a better sys tem of road-working In that township. This is a move in the right direction and shows that the people are be coming more thoroughly wedded to the Idea that good roads are conduc tive to the general upbuilding of any county or state. .1 o ' Scotland Neck Commonwealth: There Is a growing sentiment through out the State In favor of a legaliz ed primary. Nearly every State In the union has such a law and It works very satisfactory. Col. J. Bryan Grimes, Secretary of State, Is out In an Interview favoring a lega lized primary. He says: "I think the need of some better method of nominating county and State candidates is admitted every where and by everybody. I hope the next general assembly will prove for a legalized primary for Democratic and Republican parties to be held on a common day. Machinery could easily be provided somewhat similar to our present election law that would guarantee absolute fairness and an honest expression of the prefer ence of electors in their respective parties. The State could have these primary elections held at a very small cost and In the end save a large expense of time and money to the people of the State." She?"Before we were married you eaid I was the light of your eyes.'' He?"did I? Will, I aee now that 1 mas only dazzled.''?Boston Trans cript. Local Problems. There are no greater problems for us to solve than those of a local na ture. We may be Interested In what congress do. ? or what takes place in our International relations, but j the problems that really affect us j vitally are those of a local nature? those of town and county and state. Among the vital economic prob- j lems now coming up for solution there is none of greater Importance than that of putting our county oncers on a salary. This ought to be done because a county ought to do buslne-u on business principles and the coun ty treasury needs all the revenue It can get for the better support of schools and roads. It is foolish for men to tay that under the present system the coun ty doe4 not pay its officer* anything. Exactly the contrary ii true. The county does pay and pay well. To be sure It does not pay directly. Neither does a high tariff rob its victim directly. Hut what the tariff does Indirectly is a plenty. And what the county does Indirectly for Its of ficers Is also a plenty. In other words the county surrenders to Its officers something that Is virtually a franchise which ought yield enough money to pay the officers ad"(]uate ly and then from yea'r to year accu mulate a sum In the treasury that would substantially help In road build lug or In the support of the schools. I It Is the duty of tax-payers to lake | note of these posslblle sources of , Income and make the most of them, j We owe it to ourselves, to our chll- j dren and our county.?Kinston Free Press. POLITICS. "Intrust your public affairs to me," r.ays the politician, "and I will mls mai'flge them to the best of my dis ability, waste your money, raise the tax rate and corrupt the Legislature. And what will I charge for all that? Oh, a mere bagatelle?the difference between wha' things are worth and | what the public holds them." Is It any w< rider the public holds such a man in honor and esteem?? Lift. Don't Break Down. Severe strains on the vital organs, like strains on machinery, cause break-downs. You can't over-tax stomach, liver, kidneys, bowels or nerves without serious danger to yourself. If you are weak or run down, Or under strain of any kind, take Electric Bitters the matchless, tonic medicine. Mrs. J. E. Van de Sande, of Kirkland, 111., writes: "That I did not break down, while enduring a most severe strain, for three months. Is due wholly to Electric Bitters." Use them and enjoy health and strength. Satisfaction positively guaranteed. 50c. at Hood Bros. The Gilt on the Brick. In 1908 the Republican party solemnly pledged itself to so revise the tariff as to equalize the cost of production here and abroad. In 1908 a majority of the voters of the country, accepting Republican pledges at their face value, intrusted | a Republican President and a Repub lican Congress with power. In 15?rt5? a Republican Congress re vised the tariff and a Republican President approved the revision. In 1910 Republican orators all ov er the country are still urging and promising such a revision of the tariff as shall equalize the cost of production here and abroad. There are historical facts which plead with irresistible force for the i election of a Democratic Congress I this year. The overburdened consu- j mer cannot meet the enhanced cost of living with promises. He will be ' more than human If he shall not turn and rend his betrayer in November. ?Philadelphia Record. NATURE'S WARNING. Smithfield People Must Recognize and Heed It. Kidney ills come quietly?myster iously, Hut nature always warns you. Notice the kidney secretions. See If the color Is unhealthy?

For gome time past there has been lively discussions In all the town ships on the question of putting the various county officials on a salary and discarding ?he fee system which I Is now In force in Nash. This ques ! tion was agitated during the recent primaries and it was then the Dem- , ocratlc Executive Committee decided to give the people of the county an j opportunity to express themselves , after they had acquainted themselves as thoroughly as possible as to the wipdom of making a change from the present system. At the meeting of the Nash Coun ty Democratic Executive Committee in this place last Monday represen tative men from all the townships ex pressed the opinion that the voters in the townships wanted to vote on the question, hence ' the Committee decided to have this done on Tuesday after the first Monday In November. It being the date of the general election. At each voting precinct in the county will be placed a bill lot box wherein the voter will deposit his ballot expressing his choice' in the matter and on the result of the vote will depend whether or not a bill will be Introduced and passed In the Legislature placing all the officials of the county on a salary. The Committee also made request of the Hoard of County Commissioners that the county officials he asked to make a statement of what the fees of their respective officials aggregat ed in the course of a year taking the year 1909 as a basis of calculation, Some of the officials say it will be a hard matter to ascertain the exact amount of the fees, yet they are up against the proposition of furnishing same as accurately as possible and their report will be watched for with Interest.?Nashville Graphic, Septem ber 8. The LaEh of a Fiend would have been about as welcome to A. Cooper of Oswego, N. Y., as a merciless lung-racking cough that defied all remedies for years. "It was most troublesome at night,'' he writes, "nothing helped me till I used Dr. Kirg's New Discovery which cured me completely. 1 never cougli at night now." Millions know its matchless merit for stubborn colds obstinate coughs, sore lungs, lagrippe, asthma, hemorrhage, croup, whooping cough, or hayfever. It relieves quick ly and never fails to satisfy.

Irate Pa?Did you tell that young man who calls on you every night I was going to have the gas turned off promptly at 10 p. m.? Daughter?Yes, papa. Irate Pa?And what did he say to that? Daughter?He said he would con sider it a personal favor if you would have It turned off at 8:30.?Tit-Bits. Free Dyspepsia Sample Sufferers from indigestion are wait- | ing up to the fact that peppermint I lozenges, charcoal and "dyspepsia cures" are only makeshifts in the cure j of so troublesome a complaint as chronic Indigestion. What is required is something that will not only relieve hut which will tone and train the digestive apparatus to again do its work normally, and this these simple remedies cannot do. There Is something more to the cure of Indigestion than sweetening the ( breath, and yet a remedy that only con tains digestive Ingredients will not cure permanently, as the basis of Indigestion Is poor bowel circulation, and that re- ! quires a scientific laxative. We know of no remedy that combines these re quirements better than Dr. Caldwell's Byrup Pepsin, which has been sold for , a quarter of a century. ?>r. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin Is a laxa tive tonic, a scientific blending of nat ural Ingredients for the cure of con stipation, indigestion, liver trouble, sour ?tomach. sick headache and similar com plaints. Its Ingredients will so strengthen and tone the stomach snd bowel muscles that they will again do their work nat urally. and when that has been accom plished your trouble Is over. Fannie Stuart. Staunton. Va., was a long-time sufferer, as was O. Tuck. Blackburn. Mo., and they both found their cure with this remedy. They became con vinced that pills and tablets, salts, "dvs pepsla cures." etc.. were at best only temporary reliefs. They first accepted Dr. Caldwell's offer of a free sample bot tle, which he willingly sends to anyone who forwards name and address Later, having convinced themselves through the free sample, they bought Syrup Pepsin of their druggist at fifty cents and one dollar a bottle. Dr. Caldwell personally will be pleased to give you any medical advice you may desire for yourself or family pertaining to the stomach, liver or bowels absolutely free of charge. Explain your case In a letter and he will reply to you in detail. For the free sample simply send your name and address on a postal card or otherwise For either request the doctor's address Is Dr W.
