This is a move in the right direc tion and will do more for the up building of the county than any thing else. During the past ten years, while the lumber business has been occupying the attention of our people, to a great extent, the farming interests have not ad vanced as they should. The pro ducts of the soil are really the foundation 6f a countrie's wealth and prosperity and we sincerely hope Caldwell will give this im portant business the attention it deserves. Until a county is, at least, self supporting it cannot be said to be on the right road to per manent prosperity. Cutting ofl the beneficent God given forests and selling the lumber at a low price, impoverishes the county and works a detriment in more ways than one. Therefore the people are to be congratulated on the in creased activity in farming and the lessening of lumbering opera tions. Junction City. So many are asking where T. Y. is, I will risk it and write again, The cold of last Friday, night killed a lot of peaches, but hope the apples escaped. Mr. A. B. Oxford, of States ville, was in our town last week visiting mends and relatives Mr. T. H. Broyhill and family spent last Sunday in Wilkes. Mr. Tom is sporting a "derby" like if they was going to buy some more lumber pretty soon. The Sunday School at King's Creek is making a line start this spring. We are glad to have our Supt., Mr. H. M. Beach, back again. He is a faithful and effi cient Supt. To use an old expres sion, he does things to a T. Y. Under his management we hope to makp record that will come up to last season, which according to some of our writers was, average attendance 90, total enrollment 45. Such a record is quite explicit. See. The Publicans and Sinners of our town have had a mass meeting and resolved some resolutos, the chief one of which is, that no editor of a newspaper has the time to hunt and search for old manuscript to show to the curious. Rock' Creek Items ' I will try to rattle off a few more items from the Creek. ; As all the writers'" are having so much to say about snakes,' I will have to say something about snakes too." Mr. H, P. Anderson, of Little River, was cleaning up an old hedgeway of rocks, briars and other rubbish and rolled over a large rock and what should he find, a rattle snake coiled under neath the stone. It had thirteen rattles and one button. He was down on his knees working with a' small hatchet, he forthwith went for his snakeship with his hatchet chopping it to pieces. Mr. Logan Anderson says he has plowed up and killed five pilots and one got away. It seems there are plenty of snakes around there Reply to Dr. Wilson, Co. Supt. Health. In these days we hear and see many strange things this same man, who in his statement pre sumes to question the action of the grand jury, who had under the law to make a report to the court as to the condition in which it found the different county in stitutions, said in the presence of two men on the streets of Lenoir in referring to this matter that the Grand Jury did not report it as bacLas it was. This man comes forward for some purpose and states in print that "the grand jury ought not to have taken the statement of the prisoners who had thrown paper in the sink, scattered their food over the jail and have in every way been rebelious.'' Why rebelious! All the prisoners told the grand jury the same thing out of the mouth of many the truth is established there it was the men composing the grand jury could see it was human excrement on tht Moor. The Superintendent of Health in his statement said that part of the rejort that was made troni what the jury actually saw "had existed for about three days'" why was it allowed to exist for three hours, much less three days! The bath tub was partially filled With water as black as black could be, with the water cut off from both bath tub and stool. Can civilized man conceive of a worse, a more degraded aud dis graceful condition of thingsT Ta, ta, doctor you admit it was true. The grand jury took no pleasure in making the report-each mem ber deplored the fact and wished they had found conditions other than they did, but they were sworn officers, had a solemn duty to perform, they made their re port, which bo far as they could ascertain and see was the truth. , f - M. C. Teiplett, ,-; , One of the Jury. What has become of Patience! I guess Job is giving her trouble. She must have patience indeed, to put up with Job's way of doing any way. As the song says, "I am coming again," so get your bones set ready for a good long sweat. Respectfully submitted. T. Y April 6th, 1908. Mr. Tom Cobb's been painting Mr. E. A.

Germany, the man who sent an infernal machine to Mr. Caesar Cone, in Greensboro, recently, was sentenced Friday to serve eight years in the State penitentiary.

Reports having reached me thut the Lenoir Mills of which I am part owner1 and ... Manager, were uscing , adulterniion' material In the manufacture of the flour at their mills and futher that this fact had been detected by some person in authority, and in con sequence of which, I as the owner and manager of-these mills was ar rested and placed under heavy bond. I desire to say: When these rumore first reached me I was inclined to treat them as un worthy of an entelligent or serious notice, however havjug been infor med that this report $ has spread rapidly over the country. I now in justice to my friends and my own reputation as an finest business man denounce this report aa an in famous, baseless falsehood, un worthy of consideration for a moment. The affairs of .the Le noir Mills are conducted in an open and honest manner ana are subject to the in spection of all fair minded persons. For the benefit of any one who may be inclined to believe this groundless rumor I will give a re ward of $5,000, to anyone who will tiud any adulterations in !the Hour manufactured by the Lenoir Mills. What the motive behind this slanderof me is I do not know I neither do I care, I only denounce ,' it as flalse. Lenoir, N. C, March 31st, 1908. Lenoik Mills, by O. P. Lute, Mgr. Got What He Ask For. A certain meat dealer was noted for his cleverness in playing jokes on his customers. One day five students went into his establish ment, intending to turn the tables on him. One of them said: "Please let me have a yard of pork for one dollar." "Give me the dollar first," replied the meat dealer. The student gave him the dollar and he went to the ice box amid the laughter of his customers and re turned with three pigs feet. Hand ng them to the student he said: "Three feet make one yard." The students retired somewhat crest fallen over the failure of their joke. Keeping Open House. Everybody is welcome when we feel good; anil we feel that way only when our digestive organs are work ing properly. Dr. King's New Life rills regulate the action of stomach, liver and bowels so nerfer.tlv on can't lieln feelini? food when hp nuoa these pills. 25c at J. K. Shell's drug store. The Kansas City Star says that every distillery except one in southern Missouri, which includes eighten counties, has been forced out of business by the spread of prohibition sentiment, which has caused practically the entire south ern portion of the state to become dry territory in the last two years: and yet we hear the absurd cry that "prohibition does not pro hibit," All laws are prohibtion laws, and a law prohibiting the sale of whiskey willbe as effectiveas any other law if the law's officers will do their duty. f To tle Editor Lenoir News: e notice a letter in your last weeks issue that someone had ac cused the Lenoir Mills of using adulterations in their flour. We want to say that we have sold un told thousands of pounds of their flour and we can't sell any other flour when we have it. We want to say that there is no other flour that will equal it. John W. Hodges, Sheriff of Wa tauga county, says he has never had any flour in his store that equals the Lenoir Mills flour. G. L.
