CLAY COUNTY RECEIVES GOOD ADVERTISEMENT In the November 15th, issue of the Southern Agriculturist a farm paper published at Nashville, Tenn., was carried a news story of “Progress and Prosperity in Carolina Hillls,” also a page of twelve pictures of “Good FirmingIK."'tie Hill Country.’* ~ lVo of these pictures are of Clay County, one of Mr. Otto Waldroup’s dairy herd and the other silo on farm of Frank Rogers in Shooting Creek Township. And in the 1 news story which deals with several of the Western North Carolina counties Clay received worthy mention. Clay County through its progressive farm program lias received some splendid advertisement in the Farm and news papers of this and other states. It would be almost impossible to estimate in dollars and cents what this adver •tisenrent has been and will be worth to Clay county. In the news story, under the head ing “A Coming Dairy Section” Mr. 5 Farnham states that there will be f great development in dairying-in the Blue Ridge section during the next ten years. He expects this to become the great dairying center of the south, for as he says, “There are no wild onions up here to flavor the cream and butter, there are good natural pastures, plenty of free-flow ing cool springs, the people are natur ally live stock minded, and much of the land is fitted for nothing but grazing. We will soon see creameries established all through these moun tains.” The Clay county farmers began three years ago to realize the pos sibilities of Clay county as a dairy county, and dairying in this county is now on a firm footing and our people | are getting ready to ■ share in and make this the prosperous county that it is bound to become and. that within a short time. ^ THE DAIRY COW AND PROSPERITY Elsewhere in this issue of this paper will be found several articles written on this subject by men of authority, . men that have made a study of the dairy cow and dairy work. We pub . liah them here because we feel that they will he of news value and worth while to our Clay county dairymen. Where you find a community or county making progress in its dairy work yon find prosperity, they are in „ separable and go hand in hand. Right much has been said about Clay county’s dairy work in this and other papers in the pest few weeks, but this paper feels that too much cannot be said about the progress Clay county has made and is making with the pure bred dairy cow. She is the future for Clay county. With her our Jarmers prosper and when our farmers are prosperous our merchants, lawyers, doctors and men in any walk of life prosper. The cream check coming in every week or month as the case may be helps the farmer to pay his bills that he has contracted with his local merchants and business man more regularly, and it gives him a greater buying power. Profit from the dairy cow does not stop with the cream check, tfie refuse; from her helps to '• build up the farmersflaad thereby pro > during a greater return from it, the the sldm milk makes the finest feed for yonng poultry and hogs and they --—, , - --- SUCH IS THE FAITH MEN • 1 in turn supply the farmer and Ms family with meat for the year as well as helping to supply the local markets. Clay county has made more real pro gress in the last three yean through the work of her dairymen than she has made in years past with the common scrub cow. And she is just making a beginning first our farmers shipped a few cans of cream per: week to Hick ory and other towns, how thew are shipping a great number of cans per week to our neighbor town of Frank lin where the Carolina Creamery of Asheville has established a creamery. Formerly the cream was cdttamd only once a week, but now it is being col lected twice. This collecting the cream oftener results in a higher grade of butter being made, a butter that will sell on a highly discriminat ing market of Asheville and'by put ting out a better product our farmers receive more for their cream. , Clay county with its wide and fertile valleys and rich hill, sides is wonderfully adapted to dairying, there are very few farmers we dare say in Clay county but who with a few pure bred jerseys and them handled right could make an inde pendent living, and make it easier than lots of things they are doing. Then we must not forget the “Hen and the Hog” when they are handled right will bring in a nice income al most the year round. “AMEND IT OR END r “Amend it or end ItP' says Jose pKus Daniels of tfie absentee ballot law. And that sums up the convic tions of citizens throughout the state' who believe in the principle of the absentee tyaltot but who favor its repeal unless the evils connected with its administration are removed. The principle of the law is sound, aa Ur. Daniels points out. Strenuous campaigns an put on by eivic organi sations for the purpose of driving home to toe consciousness of men and women too duty of voting. Properly safeguarded, the absentee ballot to an encouragement to the exercise suf frage responsibilities. Without it many citizens interested in jtha public good and eager to take their pert in the process of government are vir tually disfranchised. But the North Carolina law places toe absentee bal lot entirely in the hands of toe party workers, with consequences that are well known and harmful to public wel fare. ' Can toe law be amended? The Times and other newspapers, inslud ing Mr. Daniels’ paper, The News and Observer, have repeatedly urged toe North Carolina law makers to protect the absentee ballot by placing it under the supervision of toe clerks of court or/other judicial officials.

Dr. Bundeson, Chicago’s Health Commissioner, says human life would last seven years longer, on the average, if nerve-destroying noises were eliminated. We think we are “used” to a cer tain noise, but use up as mud^en ergy conquering noise, crowding it out of the brain, as in doing real work. . • ; Millions of brains are cut down 30 to 60 per cent .in efficiency by noise. Absence Of noise means greater efficiency, less wear in machines. But men pay no atten tion to their own machinery, worn away by noise every day. / And to complain of noises is considered effeminate. If unneces sary ribise were accurately dassi iied with assault and battery, life would be longer. When the Bible . says jealousy hath a most vehement flame; It tefa«ewatft,->HorBibla^estt. killing1 of Mrs. Mills, in ihe Hall Mills murder ease, proves it. The unfortunate woman, after three bullets had been fired into her head, was dreadfully muti lated. Hen throat was cut twice, her tongue cut out, and there were other horrible wounds inflicted on the dead body. The tongue is sup posed to have been cut out because the woman’s singing had charmed her clergyman from his straight and narrow path. “ The horrible case will, agafa re mind men that whoever stirs up jealousy stirs up danger. They have been reminded of it, .aftea enough, for five hundred thousand years, by blows on the Head with sharp flints, by poison in the Mld <He Ages, by pistols later. But they never seem to learn. ,, - ~A. —L* ——*--*'-* --g La,.

In. three years past this country has lent Europe four thousand million dollars. Gratifying, of course, but when will they get that money back? London as world money lender charged usually moderate, and al ways legal, rates of interest. Uur financiers lend money to Europe on a basis that makes the borrower pay at the rate of 13 per cent'for the first year, as much as 7 and S per cent -thereafter. The usurer in many States loses principal and interest. Some of those American lenders will get unpleasant replies later when they ask for their principal. Meanwhile it is profitable for middlemen that get the'“rakeoff.” All fanners and some Congress men are wondering what “can be done for the farmer.” The fanner says: "Guarantee me a definite price for my crops."
