(Uvea's Method of Firming Bow Be is Independent of Trusts and Unfust Freight Kites. The following account, of what may be called an ideal farm in Anson county is giver our readers this week because of the reason ableness of the plan outlined and for the excellent suggestions of fered by the talented editor of Our Home, the columns of which Hrst contained " the article. Mr. Niven is one of the best known and most successful farmers of Anson county and the statements elow can be verefied. Editor It is refreshing to visit a farm that is self-sustaining. 'It is en couraging to listen to the exper ience of a farmer who has all his life made a living at home instead of attempting to buy a living at the stores. We often hear it as snrted that farmers feed the world and in a general sense it is true. Unfortuuately for the South, com paratively few of our farmers have fed themselves, much less to feed the other fellows. Primarily the object of soil cultivation is to pro duce a living for the family and for the stock that is kept on the farm. Real farming means self support at home. The South isn't farming right when it fails to sup ply all its towns and cities with "hog and hominy," without hav :ng to import these things from distant sections, paying high trans portation charges and several mid- I le men's profits before it reaches the consumers. If Southern far mers would become real farmers they could put into their pockets as profit the amount of freight charges with the jobbers' aud dealers' profits added, on food pro ducts that can be raised here as well as in sections from which they are imported. While in the vicinity of Morven last week the writer visited the farm of W. A. Niven, a mile and a half from Morven. When Mr. Niven started to "house-keeping" he started in debt. The first year he went to his creditor with a proposition like this': "Well, I belong to you and I've come to ask you how you want me to farm, what I shall plant," etc. The creditor politely and courteously informed him that he had no in struction to offer and advised him to use his own judgment. "All right," replied Mr. Niven, If you leave it to me I'm going to first plant for a living and then put the remainder in cotton and let you take the cotton and apply it on my debt." tollowing that policy every year he soon "lifted" the debt. It proved . to be the best method for a man in debt, and what is good to help a man out of debt is a good policy to live by, and Mr. Niven has every year produced his living at home, rais ing his own wheat, corn, meat, molasses, etc., not only enough for home use, but every year he has some of these things to spare, hich he sells at a tine profit. High freight rates on corn, meat, m -lasses, mill feed and flour doesn't bother him, for he doesn't have the freight to pay, neither does he pay profits on these things to "middle men." This isn't all of the story. In fact, the best part of it is to re late yet. When Mr. Niven started to farming it took from two to three acres of his land to make a bale of cotton. He now gets over a btle per acre. He cultivates twenty acres in cotton, no more nor no less, every pear. Last year e made twenty-six bales on the twenty acres. 1 his year he wi l get about twenty-four bales on the twenty acres. He has built up his soil by well-devised crop rota tion, such as is possible with diver- pitied farming, but which is im possible with the all-cotton orone- crop system, ne ionows ins w heat and oats with peas, and also sows peas in his corn when it is laid by. He says it is his opinion that pea vines areworth more to the land than they are to feed them and then put the stable ma nure back on the land. In this opinion he is not in accord with the teaching of farmers' institute men who claim that it is not econ omy to use any food product for a fertilizer. Mr. Niven says that where peas are sown in the corn and the vines left on land it shows better results in soil improvement than pea stubble. However, both ways pay, and he uses the cow pea liberally. In conversation with a national official of the Farmers Union, who has traveled extensively in the cot ton belt we were told that his ob serration had been that farmers who'vhave always refused to sell their cotton seed, but instead used them on their farm, are generally getting along well. This holds good in Mr. Niven's case. He al ways puts his cotton seed back on the laud and no cotton oil trust has ever cotton a rake off from his seed. This is perhaps one of the secrets of his success in bring ing up the fertility of his soil. He uses only a limited amount of com mercial fertilizers, not more than half the amount that is used by many farmers who get only a half a bale per acre. VV hat is the re snltoi Ihis kind of farming? It means that the one who farms that way can finance his own crop and hold his cotton until the world needs it bad enough to pay a fair price for it. It mesons that he isn't paying tribute to the rail roads to haul him food products over fifteen hundred miles of rail road lines. It means that the fer tilizer trust isn't getting much of the fruits of his toil. It means that the land which formerly sold for six dollars per acre is worth fifty dollars per iut. It means farming real farming. The man whom we refer in this comment is modest and quiet in manner and this publicity is riot s ught by him. But his example is worth something and deserves thoughtful attention. It shows what has been done, and what can be doue on almost any North Car olina farm. The management that is referred to is the kind of management that Southern far mers must come to if they ever become independent By the cor rect method of farming cotton will make the South rich. By the suicidal system that has been prac ticed it has made the South poor and it will keep it poor until there is a change through the entire cotton belt. Those who are in debt have been put in debt by too much cotton. To depend upon the very same thing that put a man in debt to get him out of debt is repugnant to reason and com mon sense. The only sensible and sure way to get out of debt is to raise a living at home. This is no new saying. It has been said many times before and we have used the same argument in these columns dozens of times, but it will bear repeating "frequently and otten." in tact, it ougnt to be pounded into the heads of some planters (who call themselves farm ers) good and hard with a sledge hammer. The idea of any Southern far- 1 1 A I I mer complaining aoout nign priced meat and corn is enough to disgust all thoughtful men. The farmer who complains about speculators" charging him high prices for the things which he can raise at home "at cost" ought to be ashamed to own that he claims to be a farmer. He doesn't have to buy these things unless he chooses to buy them. It is there fore a matter of choice that he permits the railroads and specu lators" to tax him every time he buys his food products. He cer tainly stultifies himself when he blames the middle man" for his own stupidity and bad manage ment. Let food products remain ligh. It's all right for farmers that these things are high and they ought to be benefitted more by H than anybody else. Boy Kills His Grandmother. (Monroe Enquirer.) Mrs. Missouri Williams who ived near Plains, S. G, was shot and killed last Tuesday by her lit tle Grandson, Vernon Williams, aged about twelve years. The lit tle boy went out to shoot an owl and the grandmother went to a window to see him shoot it. The boy missed the owl and followed the bird some distance into the woods and went into the house to tell his grandmother the result of his hunt, and to his horror found the old lady lying by the window dead. The little fellow had no idea of the result of his shot until he returned to the house. We learn that Mrs. Williams was alone in the house at the time of the ac accident. Mrs. Williams was the widow of the late Mr. George Williams of this county, and was a daughter of the late Mr. Jason Rogers, who lived in east Monroe township. Aged Church Workers Anion? Prim itive Baptist. At the Primitive Baptist Asso- i . c lation, recently held in our city says the Rocky Mount Record, there were over fifty members in attendance who are over 'seventy- five years of age. Prominent personages in the association who have passed beyond their seventy- fifth mile stone were: Mr. M. D. AUobrook, eighty-eight years old; Elder Durant, of Philadelphia, and Mrs. Ricks, of Scotland Neck, eighty-two years old. Elder P. D. Gold, who has been pastor of the local church for the past thir ty-five years, is now about seventy-eight years old. The annual report of the Frances Bridges Atkinson Hospital in Kunstan, Korea, shows that the total number of treatments from the hospital was 11,726. ..This mis sionary hospital is doing a great work and is named for the late Mrs. Frances Bridges Atkinson, wife of Rev.

Way Colds are Dangerous Because yon have contracted ordinary colds and recover from them without treatment of any kind do not for a moment imagine that colds are not dangerous. Everyone knows that pneu monia and chronic catarrh have their orgin in a common cold. Consumption is not caused by a cold but the cold prepares the system for the reception and development of the germs that would not otherwise have found lodg ment. . It is the same with all infect ions diseases. Diptheria, scarlet fever, measles and whooping cough are mucn more likely to be contracted when the child has a cold. . Ton will see from this that more real danger lurks in a cold than in any other of the common ailments. The easiest and quickest way to cure a cold is to take Chamber lain's Cough Remedy. The .many re markable cures effected by this prepar ation have made it a staple article of trade over a large - part of the world. For sale by T. R. Tomlinaon. Sunday School Department Conducted fey Special Editor. SUNDAY, OCTOBER 25 Subject. ''The Joy of Forgiv ness." Psalm 32 in connection, Psalm 51, Romans Chapters 4 and 5. - Golden Text. "Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered." Psalm32:l. Setting. The sin and redempt ance of David was about the mid dle of his reign, possibly 1034 B. C. (Usher). His capital is at Jer usalem. David is probably 50 years old. The -author of the Psalm is probably David. THE STORY. In the period of his greatest properity David fell into thedeep est sin. He commits adultry and murder with the equally base sin of treachery to a trusted officer. David saw and coveted the beauti ful wife of Uriah, Bathsheba, and after the faithful officer is killed by exposing him to the certain risk of death, David takes her to be his wife. It is difficult to imagine more villianous and heartless conduct, and the Bible does not excuse it. It is almostf a year later when Nathan, the prophet, faces the king with the message of the sin in all of its blackness. David is convinced of his condition towards God. The 51st Psalm is supposed to tell of his contrition and remorse and this lesson is looked upon as the expression of his joy in the days when he is as sured of forgivness. EXEGETICAL. 1. David's Personal Experi ence. Verses 1-5 record the experience of David in seeking forgivness and peace. The passage opens with a beati tude which reflects the joy of a forgiven soul. Blessed, or "hap py," is the man who has found the grace of God in forgivness. Three words are used to describe the sin of a man's heart, trans gression sin and iniquity. The first conceives of sin as a rebellion, or breaking away from God; the second, as missing the mark, or falling short of a standard; while the third describes sin as a depray ity or moral distortion. All of these elements had place in the sin of David. As there are three words for sin, so David uses three words to describe the forgivness of God. Sin is forgiven, v taken away, as one takes away a great load or burden; it is covered, so that it may be hidden from the pure eyes of God who judges us: and it is not imputed, or reckoned against the sinner, just as one cancels a debt. Experience and revelation combine to show David how God has dealt with his sin. The clear er light of Jesus Christ has brought all these aspects of God's iorgiv ness into plain view, and we un derstand now that these blessings are for all who trust in Jesus. It is grace on God's part; it sincerity on the sinner's part, whose spirit there is no guile,. is in as he comes asking pardon. David was forgiven because David sin cerely repented. Verses 3. 4 are a remainder in brief of the frightful experi ences of the days that proceeded David's confusion of his sin. The 51st Psalm tells the full story. When he kept silent three things took place 'rotting bones'( which may be but a strong metaphor or may be a physical fact), the con sciousness of God's displeasure dimly felt as if a great hand were pressing him down, and the dry ing up of the sap of his life, as if the fierce heatof summer had burn ed the marrow in his bones." These may be but striking figures or the remorse that weighed down his spirit, or they may be the physical effects of remorse. The morning paper tells of an honored citizen who confessed to having robbed the bank of which he was cashier. It states that he is brok en in health, adding the comment that his physical breakdown has probably come from anxiety in concealing his crime. Is this not a striking commentary of these words of David? Verse 5 makes plain the stern and hard road by which David traveled to forgiveness. " He was king, living before the Dublic sraze. and his pride was great. For a long time he would not own even to himself his great guilt. Bu sue uce uruugut -1 1 u only deeper remorse. But when Nathan pressed home on the guilty soul the sin be had committed, and let him see what others thought of him, David acknowledged bis sin, he did not cover his iniquity, but said to Nathan, I have sinned against the Lord." And then came a gracious thing! . The mo ment the resolve was made, and David said I will "confess my transgression," that moment, like the gracious Father in the parable of the Prodigal Son, God rushed to forgive. "Thou forgavest the iniquity of my sin," was literally true, for Nathan said, 4 The Lord also hath put away thy sin." Not a pleas ant way but a sure wayl If we believe in our hearts and confess with our mouths, we shall be saved. 2. David's Exhortation As verses 1-5 gave David's per sonal experience, so verses 6-10 give his exhortation to other sin ful men, based on his own experi ence of the grace of God. He would have others seek forgiveness because of the great blessings that have come to him. Four great blessings are spoken of in verses 6-7: 1. Because of this grace of JGod experienced in forgiveness, the soul is encouraged to prav; God heard, God will hear. "Because of this let every one that is godly pray unto thee in a time when thou mayest be found." It is in a "time of finding," or when God we know is near that we pray best God will hear the moment the penitent cries, and this experi ence of instant answer becomes an assurance for the days to come, teaching us God's readiness to an swer when we call. We will al ways have need of asking forgive ness; happy are we if we remem ber our experience and go at once to the mercy seat! 2. The forgiven soul is certain of security no calamity can over whelm. "Surely when the great waters overflow they shall not reach unto him." "The penitent praying, pardoned man is set as a rock islet in the midst of the floods, whether these be conceived of as temptation to sin or as ca lamities." Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or aftguish, or perse cution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us. 3. The forgiven soul is kept at peace. "Thou are my hiding plate; thou will preserve me from trouble." David found God a "-shelter," a "tent to take refuge in," a "stronghold." He was not only helped "in" trouble, but pre served "from" trouble. "And the peace of God which passeth aTTK 1 A 1 1 11 1 I understanding snail guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus." 4. The forgiven soul is constant ly helped. "Thou wilt compass me about with songs of deliver ance." From every side comes cause for rejoicing. A new de liverance calls for a new song. God's mercies are constant, and always new and fresh, and so we are fairly surrounded by songs of deliverance, so many are the songs we must sing. Verses 8-10 admonish us not to resist the grace of God, but to yield to it. Verse 8 is a beautiful promise. We give it as it is translated in the Revised Version: "I will in struct thee and teach thee in' the way which thou shall go; I will counsel thee with my eye upon the." God does not leave the for given soul to itself, he teaches us as we travel along the way of righteousness. He shows us the 11. l i way we snouid travel to Keep from sin. And his counsel is per sonal, it is ' with mine eye unon thee." That is, with an exact knowledge of what we are doing. It is individual, and from a daily watching. Verse 9 is a homely rebuke. God wants to lead us, not to com pel us. Man's glory is to obey of his own free will; when he has to be forced he is like the brute. The horse and the mule must be controlled by bit and bridle. Else they will not come near un to thee." Verse 10 is a contrast, to the wicked, many sorrows; to the one trusting in Jehovah, loving kind ness that shall compass him about. Verse 11 is the conclusion of the whole matter. If we have such a gracious, forgiving, protecting, y-. T 1 " l A. gracious tjoo, wnat spirit ougrn. we to show? David was not in doubt. We ought to be glad in Jehovah and rejoice, and shout f or joy--that is if we count our selves among the righteous and the upright in heart, as he did, even though he had been a sinner. Van Ness. ILLUSTRATIVE. The words "whose sin is cover ed" remind me of the story told by Dr. Dager. While sitting in a. friend's office, ma . a he was called upon to iook lor a certain account. He brought out a large book and began rapidly to glance over its pages. I noticed that upon some pages every ac count was stamped with the word "settled" in red letters. These pages he passed without noticing a single item. I thought just as that one word blots out those ac counts, so that the merchant re members them no more, so does the word "forgiven," stamped in Jesus' blood upon our debts, blot them out of God's books, so that he remembers them against us no more forever. A paper manufacturer was very angry because a large amount of paper was returned to him as soiled or imperfect. Investigation showed that dirt in some way had gotten into the duId from which paper was made and ruined it all. No amount of cleaning or rubbing could remove that which was in wrought in the very tissue of the paper. Now remembering in our hearts that all our thoughts and deeds are in the form of pulp. If our hearts be unclean, every thought or deed comes forth,. like every sheet of paper, soiled or im perfect. We often speak of the physical heart as the engine or boiler, driv ing the , life-blood through -our systems. Applying this figure to the spiritual heart, and you begin to see how needful it is that the heart be clean in order to be ca pable and efficient in its service. I recall the janitor of a building which was heat! with steam com plaining day after day that it took hours to get up any pressure in the boiler. An inspector of the boiler revealed the fact that there was a heavy deposit of mud and refuse matter, which prevented the heat coming in contact with the water. A removal of this at once made the boiler capable of doing its appointed work. Only clean hearts are capable hearts. A drunken father arose from his sleep one day, after, he had been drinking, and saw his. little daughter preparing food, and, turning to her, with a tone almost tender, he said, "Millie, what makes you stay with me?" "Be cause you are my father and I love you," said the child. "You love me!" answered the wretched father. "Millie, what makes you love me ? I am only a miserable drunkard. Everybody else de spises me. VVrhy don't you?" "Dear father," said Millie, her eyes filling with tears, "my moth er taught me to love you, and every night it seems as though she stood by my little bed and said, 'Millie, don't leave your poor father; he will get over the power of drink some day, and then how happy you will be.' " His poor heart could not stand against such love as this. Taking her in his arms and weeping like a child, from that day he became a temper ate man. Such love is but a dim representation of the love of the dear Saviour who has endured everything for us and who still pleads with us to give our hearts to him. Interesting Account of Paper-Making at Canton. N. C. (Correspondence of The Anaonian.) Nestled among the lofty peaks of Western Carolina, near the beautiful Pigeon river, lies Canton, now a hustling little city of 3,000 inhabitants. She claims the proud distinction of being the fastest- growing town in the State, her population having increased ten fold within the past three years. In 1907 a bond issue of $65,000 was voted for the purpose of im proving the streets and establish ing a graded school. The Champion Fibre Co. began the erection of a large pulp mill here in April, 1906, and it stands today representing an investment of more than two million dollars. The daily product of wood pulp from this mill averages 200 tons, all of which is used by the compa ny's paper mills at Hamilton, O. The amount of tannic acid extrac- ed from the wood used in making the pulp is very large, the annual capacity being about 75,000 bar rels. About 50 men are employed, which means a monthly disburse ment of $30,000 for wages alone. The plant is very interesting to most people; many coming from a distance to see it, and they ay that it is the most wonderful thing of its kind they have ever seen. It marks a new line of industrial ac tivity for this part of the State. and one which is likely to have a great influence upon the upbuild ing of this section. Perhaps your readers would be glad, to know something about the process by which wood is changed into white paper. We will first visit the wood pre- paring plant and see the wood as it comes from the forest. Some of it is worm-eaten, all of it is rough and knotty. Here the bark and knots are removed, the wood cut into short pieces and then ground into chips. The chips are sorted by a machine and are then taken by an elevator to what is known as the digestor building. -WW . 1 A ' were it is cooiced tor seven or eight hours until it is thoroughly done. It is then washed and car ried to the bleaching plant. After it has gone through the bleaching process, it has become a pure white pulpy moss which does not in the least resemble paper. it is then conveyed to the ma chine room, where it goes through a number of large brass rollers, . m a m 11 11 . the nrst ot which rolls it into a sheet of wet pulp, the others are heated by steam and dry it, and it finally comes out as a sheet of white paper. Most of the pulp, however, is only reduced to the thickness of thin cardboard, and is then sent to the Hamilton mills for the finishing process. mi a he pieces or pulp which are broken and those that are not the right color, are taken through part of the process again, and are made into ordinary wrapping pa per. w . . 1 in connection with the paper mill there is an extracting plant. Here the tannic acid in the wood is removed, placed in the compa ny's own cars, and shipped to. tan 11 i. neries ana other plants which use this acid. J. A. LrvrNGSTON. Canton, N. C.
