I TUESDAY, SEPT. 11, 1916 J PAGE THREE o HAPPENINGS IN THE OLD NORTH STATE The War Department has detailed Lieut. Hugh Broadhurst aa professor of military science autl tactics at the A. and M.

Has been an imijate of the State Hospital at Mort;anton. As an indication of what the pro sent high price of cotton means, a Robeson county man sold the other day a bale of cotton and received $100.34 for the cotton and the .-.eel. The price paid for the cotton vas IS 1-4. On some markets the price has reached 16 cents.

This is the second tria the first coming back from the Supreme Court -for a new trial having been won by the Smith heirs. LET'S MAKE 1916 THRIFT YEAR In all our plans for donig better work during this year, let's not forget to Include plans for saving, for con serving what we have, as well as ma king. Many successful men say they hav,e found it easier to produce wealth than to keep it, and we believe this is the general experience. Let us con sider some of the factors that will help us not only to produce wealth, but to hold to at least part of what we have produced. 1. Let's make our farms feed us. There's no getting round the fact that we, Individually or collectively, can never make any marked agricultural or economic progress until we learn the lesson of living at home, "Food and feed first," should be the slogan on every farm In the South this year. .. 2. . Let's avoid time prices. .The in lqiitous tme prices that force farmers to pay interest at theate oJ0 or ev en J5 per cent must be abolished. This is a matter deserving the attention of our legislators, but while they are get ting round to it, let's tackle it individ ually and solve it ourselves in so far as we' are personally concerned. The best way we can think of to do this is to do without, This will be hard, we know, but it is better to undergo some hardships for one year rather than go on paying interest rates that, will bankrupt and make tenants of -farm . owners. . . Let's start a bank account. If you have some spare cash, put it in tha bank, and check on it as "weeded. If you haven't any, but have land, stock and other assets, go te your most pro gressive local banker and lay the whole matter before him, explaining to him your ambition to buy for cash and at cash prices. He can probably help you,: and will if your reputation for paying is good and if he is the progressive business man he should -be. ; 4. Let's save our soils. We, must look on our fields with a jealous eye that will not stand for their being washed away. Watch your fields, and do whatever may be necessary to pro Vent the loss of expensive plant foods. 5. Let's protect our implements and buildings. Millions of dollars worth of farm implements are each year rusting and rotting in our fence cor ners; thousands of buildings are rot ting down when a coat of paint would save them. Paint and sheds will save this tremendous loss. The Progres sive Farmer. Cured Her Two Little Girls. Mrs. Ada Sanders, Cottontown, Tenn., writes: "We use Foley's Honey and Tar as our best and only cough remedy. It never fails to cure m7 two little girls when they haTe colds." Re lieves hoarseness, tickling throat, bronchitis, hay fever, asthma, croup. Gardner Drug Co. LOOK ON THE SUNNY SIDE. How much brighter the lives of some of ua seem than those of others! We look at our neighbor, perhaps, with wondering eyes, asking ourselves how she can always feel light-hearted and happy when there is so much trouble and care in the world. We envy her easy lot, perhaps th'uking in, our hearts that if she had our wor ries to meet she would not be so cheer ful. And yet, if we could delve be neath that woman ;s home we might perhaps find just as much, if not more, care and trouble hidden these than we ever had in our homes. Just because a woman does net talk about her worries; just becau3e she smiles and laughs and makes lipht of her life, is no reason for us to think that fate is unfair, giving joy to some and only trouble to others. It means that she has learned to look on the sunriy side of life, whille we are still in the darkness. She has learned to overlook the shadows which flicker over life's pathway and to enjoy the sunshine to the fullest. Our happiness is such as we make it. It is lying ready within hand's reach. We have only to stretch out our arms and take it. The difficulty is that most of us are too busy look ing for trouble to see the happiness at our door. Moat of us are no soon er througn witn tne troubles or toitay than we begin anticipating the dilll culties of tomorrow. Is it no wonder we find so much trouble In ohr lire when we look for it so unceasingly? Let us reverse our mental processes and begin looking for happiness. E. J. H. A Moral Here, The sensational case which has just been on at Danville carrie's a moral too plain to be pointed out. It is, that it is possible for doctors to be mista ken, and that it s a serious thing to destroy the good name of one whose reputation you hold wthout absolute proof that your suspicions are well founded. In consequence of the incorrect diagnosis of a physician as shown in the autopsy -the Governor of South Carolina, along with a number of pri vate citizens, is involved in what may prove an ugly scrape when aired In the courts, as now appears likely. And the question that arises in the minds of the unprejudiced is: Vhich is the nore guilty the doctor who murdered her reputation 'through lack of knowleldge or the surgeon who murdered her body through lack of skill provided her death was due to such cause, as those conducting th? investigation hoped to prove. The medical men are quite right; and should be applauded certainly for their efforts to put down any and, every attempt at criminal practice. In the prosecution of such professional abuses, however, they should be suie they are on safe ground before they handle lightly the name of a helpless young woman. In this case the dead girl appeared to have been the victim ,. . -1 1 .- . I. .... - Knr4 ot a malignant disease which was enough in itself,: without the added rflliction of having her honor ques tioned by those whose business it should have been to protect her. Greensboro Record. ' Farmers Favor Medical Inspection. The farmers and farm women of North Carolina at their recent meet ing in Raleigh went on record as rec ommending and urging the medical inspection of all school children. They included in their list of resolutions and recommendations a section urg ing adequate health instruction and medical Inspection for all school chil dren as a further aid to the develop ment of a practical system of educa tion. This resolution meets the high approval of the State Board of Health whose teachings have been that every school should have some time during the yoar, preferably as near the open ing as possible, a physical examina tion of all its pupils. This course was advocated on the part of the farmers, as is also on the part of the Board, by reason of the fact that wherever thifl health-educational work has been done in the State, which has been done usually by whole time county health officers or by co-operation of the county with the State Board of Health, the re sults have been convincing testimony as to the value of the work. As a result of educational work people have become convinced that health is paramount.- that school is no place for a sick child. To try to educate a sick child, or one vlth grave defects, is to put a heavy tax upon the body, break down its resis tance, and hasten on the disease. It is worse than money wasted, it is a life wasted. People have realised furthermore, that by a system of med ical school inspection any school can save nearly all Its children treaten ed with breakdown or disease. Johnston County Families In conversation with Mr. Henry M. Johnson of Meadows Township, a fc days ago, we were told that in his boy hood and young manhood days the-e ' were eleven families in his section.. u j neighbors, in ovhch the.o were boi .1 153 children and that 140 of these It. - i ed to reach manhood and womanhoe-1 i Each family lived in a log cabin ai d a doc'tor was a stranger In these homes.

MINNIE LEE JONES HAT SHOP IN THE WARE & SOMERSfBUILDING Divorce to Every Three Weddings. For every three marriages' in Onio last year, at least one divorce was started. For every six marriages, one di vorce .was granted by Ohio courts and one marriage annulled. These figures will be cited in the forthcoming report of Secretary of State Charles Q. Hildebrant, soon to be filed with Governor Willis. , Ten years ago Ohio had only one divorce to every 12 marriages. An nual reports of the former secretaries show plainly the divorce evil is gain ing ground In Ohio married life. . Hildebrandt'8 report shows it Is the wife and not the husband, as general ly it is supposed, who tires soonest of the marriage bond. For example: Exactly 299 divorces wore granted husbands last year on the ground that their wives had been unfaithful. Only 196 wives were granted divorces from husbands charged with forgetting their mar riage vows. However, it Is the husband who shirks married responsbllity first ac cording to the report. Exactlly 3,011 divorces were granted wives last year for "absence and neglect," as against 1,354 granted hysbands for the same reason. Hildebnnt's report shows that June still holds good as the month of mar riages and that January is the month that Cupid languishes. On the 48,260 marriages reported for the year, 5.820 were solemnized In June, while January's record was only 2,875. Size Up Your Neighborhood. - "I understand that you have printed a plan for community organizations, specifying the agencies that should exist everywhere for promoting neigh borhood progress and development." So writes a South Carolina reader who wishes to get these plans. He will find it on page 19 of our 1916 "Refer ence Special." Our program, It may be recalled, Included the following 1. A three teacher consolidated school. . . '.':-'' 2. A local Union or farmers' club. 3. A farm woman's club. 4. A eoTTrnunity league composed of all interested citizens. 5. A young folks' debating society. " 6. Community sports and recrea tion. 7. A community fair. Why not see how many of these seven essentials your neighborhood may already claim, and then take steps to supply the others? The Pro gressive Farmer. Uncle Sam Has Much Free Land. , A quarter of a billion acres of pub lic land remain in the Unted States to be taken over by homeseekers, Secre tary of the Interior Lane announces. In 25 States, from California to Michigan and Florida to Washington, public domains are scattered and ready to be opened. All but 2.290,000 acres lies in the far West. Nevada, with 55374.077 acres, contains the largest area. A dozen of the Western States con tain over 254,945,589 acres. Ninety two million acres are unsurveyed. Of the 25 States containing public lands, Missouri has the least, 952 acres in 16 counties. CASTOR! A For Ir f ants and Children In Use For Over 30 Years lwayp bears yrf Signature of A Shrewd-Tiller. Farming used' to grow pretty good In Caswell county Just after the war according to our friend, Mr. Waltor Harrelson, who told The News man on Monday how his friend, Mr. Charlie Flintoff, of the Gatewood Store sec Hon, used to steam up the farming business in Caswell county just after the war. Mr. Flintoff is our friend, and now Mr. Harrelson claims him because he used to be such a f'ne farmer. Anyhow, Mr. Harrelson says that one year the two Flintoff broth ers planted 300 hills of tobacco, top ped it at 18 leaves, raised 300 pounds, sold It for $300, and paid $90 for the fertilizer that produced this Tine crop with 26c. bacon. And there you are Walter, and Charllt's still got 'orn all trying to catch up wifh him and his brother in their palmy farming days before the land got worn out and the tobacco plants got in the habit of growing rusty every year. Milton News. The thrifty farmer, the farmer who has money in the bank, has a farm that tells you about the character of the owner the minute you come in sight of It. Such a man has long since learned that the fence corner or un der a tree is no place for an Imple ment not in use. Such seemingly lit tle things added to other like things make the big things that determine a man's success or failnre. The Pro gressive Farmer. Wo sell the kind of drugs your doc tor orders.
