Good humor and a friendly feelirtf prevailed everywhere and ourpeoplefmlngleil together as one big family,- -? The Industrial parade, which must hava been. 6eary mile longt wal !i:kVprle tot eVerybo4y.' til was just splendid and was a dis play tbatCny t town in Cthei State epremntt'ng7! could justly feel prouof, in fact it woId have done' credit to a city. The Mais ' renresenti'nA'5 tooe bf the business houses and manufac turing1 establishments, were all ap propriate and well planned and at tistically arranged . Some of them quite elaborate, representing the expenditure. ,of considetable time and money in their construction. The two bauds were "hand fur nishing as abundance of . good mu Kic. The marshalls were attentive and saw that everything moved hloDg as promised. After the pa Trade Mr, J. W. Whlsnant, in an ap f propriate and felicitous manner in troduced Mr. A. W. Self, of Hicko ry, who was the speaker of the day. Mr. Self is, always a forceful and entertaining talker and he was in flue shape Saturday and made 8peech. .vH made a strong plea for indi viduality of thought and conduct He Argaed that while we celebrated andfboasted of our freedom, yet in truth we are bound and hedged abojpt by law, custom, and corpora tiod until the individual lost con trot'in a degree of his own thoughts, or bis property. His speech.) was ' int&tly listened to by a large part of the big audience ;and was fre quently applauded. After the speaking the old vete ronl gathered in the shade of the big pines on' the College campus and exchanged reminiscences and handshakes while they enjoyed a good dinner provided for them by the Jocal chapter of the Daughters of tie Confederacy. Bach veteran's name was regis tered and each had a neat badge pinned to his coat and it was found that 160 of the grand old men were present. The hour thus passed around the long table was one of mosjf iuten?spD features Of the daf.

The balloon ascension, the last thing on the program, was witness d by an immense throng and it " was a grand success. " . Prof. Swartt is "on to his job" and sailed up into the air to -the height of about 2,000 leet, cot loose from his ballon and drifted quietly to earth with his parachute justi as easily and safely as the or dinary man would ride a horse or row a boat. ' ' ' r The crowd was wild with ap plause as the daring aeronaut shot upward doing all kinds-of aorobdt io stunts on the horizontal bar a tached to the balloon and the ex citement was Intense until he laud ed safely 'about a half a mile away from Jthe starting point. This closed the program foV the 'day and eveftr body went home well pleased and these good citizens of Lenoir who got up and engineered the celebra tion to such a brilliant success afe patting themselves on the back and fe$?f jwtiZProjidpfjNr achieve ments.

They ought to get together add have a time of real rejoicing, and then a vote of thauks to Dr. Woods Hutchinson, who has come out on their side in a recent mag- asine article. This business of not gividg sweet things tochildreu is all non sense, he says, or words to that ef fect It has taken people a lone; time to find out that the sweet tooth is not an invention of he evil one, but it isn't in spite of the careful mqth ers who think that cake, candy and sugar ruin the teeth, destroy di gestion, shorten life and bring on all, kinds of ills. On the contrary, Dr. Hutciiinsou insists that a '(ber- tain amount of sweet is nacessary le the body. The sugar in fact iSthe fuel for the body; it is the wood, coal or gasoline for the muscle 'en gine. v Here is a statement that ought to leave every small face weathed in smiles. "Next to banishment of starchy foods, gruels and paps from the nursery and the substitution of pure sweet milk, few things," he he says, "have done more to cut dowu our digraceful iufant mortali ty thau the free and intelligenftise of sweet fruts, preserves sugar taffy and butterscotch in the nur sery." Ot course the article goes on to say that the wholesale gorging, of sweets is not recommended, but th4 average mother is expected to have a certain amount of common sense as the quantity of sugar to be allowed; i $ ' t But ft ts the theory of Dr. ITnth inson that Child will not- be so mficfi temptoeatextra'vagaotry when he in given candy if he t has been allowed f reason Able Amount of sweets, such as sngar on his cereal, simple cake and S weet fruits including all the jam that-he wants oh his bread arid butter, 8o here is the golden age, of all the jam you want and still more jam with a stick of maple taffy and, if you please plenty of cake Let the children cheer up: there's hope ahead. A Night Rlder'i Raid. The worst night riders are calomel, croton oil or aloee pills. They raid your bed to rob you of rett. Not so with Dr. King's New Life. They never distreu or inconvenience, but always eleanse' the system, curing Colds, Headache, Constipation, Mal aria. 2Se, at J. E. 8h-ll. How to Raise More Corn. It the Southern farmer will stop clearing up new land and apply his energies -to the upbuilding of ttye worn out soils on the intensive plan in a few years he-can double' his crops and also -double his bank a oount. In the South wVnave one of the greatest foundations for soil up- building of any section of the coun try. Whyl 6eeause (l) te subsoil iu a large area is red clay with a foundation upon which we can build in solid form And which pre vents the meterial which we place upon the i soil froii leaching away; (3) by supplying toe soil with plenty of humus we can make it loose and mellow and so retain tibbistnre for the making of the crops, and by rotation of crops and tne growing or tne legamens we can keep the soil well supplied with nitrogen from the air. Every farmer who "has 100 acre of land iu cultivation should cut it down to fifty acres for cultivation and place the other fifty acres in pastures and supply it with live stock, making a sufficient feed on the fifty acres in cultivation to feed his stock through the winter he should carefully house his stock and bed them. By doing so he can make from three to five tons of man ure per head, and also make a prof it on his stock on the market. I wish here to give my experience in the improvement of six acres which I began in the year 189$. 1 planted this plat 1896 in corn and it made twelve bushels to theere. I became disgusted and left it va cant the next year. In 1898 1 de termined to do something with that land, and having a herd of about forty head of cattle some hogs and mules, carefully housing them and littering the stalls, I made a fine lot of good old manure and spread broadcast in the early spring twen ty loads per acre. Plowed it in with a heavy two-horse plow about ten inches deep, afterwards harrowed with a good harrow. Before plant ing 1 harrowed again and planted the corn with a planter twenty in ches apart. I only got to plow it once, owing to a storm which tan gled it and prevented further culti vatioit. I had the corn at maturity cut and soaked. When husking time came carried a scaled bushel tub to the field and measured the corn which yielded sixty-five bushels per acre, or 890 bushels that year against only seventy-two but two years before. This piece of land has been in rotation since theri and in 1906 I made twenty-four bn. of fine wheat to the acre. I sow red clover in my wheat so as to keep up the land. 1 have con tinned to build u, my other lands along this line and the returned are fine. No farmer can build up his land permanently w i thou t good old beru yard manure. A. Cannon. Henderson Co., N. C. The Farmers' Union is not con eerned with partisan politlces.

So many in the cities and especially id the flats, are suffering from the heat. Many of them would gladly change places with their country cousins for awhile. This scribe has just returned from a fishing1 trip where we had the pleasure of camping out and fish ing and cooking and eating our fish and swimming in James Whit comb Riley's "Old Swimin Hole" How about Blowing Bookl This surely will fill every nook and cor ner. Wejl, I notice fhat Lenoir is to celebrate the fourth. I hope she may have a sane fourth. Some of the towns and cities out this way have had to legislate against the "insane" fourth! they have so often, which result in so much loss of life, and other damages. The local option election has passed off in this and Clarke coun ty, which joins it, and both of them lie just across the river from Louis isville It was a victory for the wets. This county went wet by about eighteen hundred majority and Clarke by about a thousand. This is about the worst defeat the drys have received in the State, but there is about seventy two coun ties out of ninety two in the State, dry, so they had just as well take t now as to have to take it just a lit tle later. How Christian people socalled, can fight sin and evil till the day (of the election and then line up with the enemy of righte ousness is to say the least of it very inconsistent. The Indiana Reformatory is lo cated at Jefferson ville, just five miles from here. It has about thir teen hundred of her young men in carcerated there for crimes of differ ent kinds. Lawyers, doctors, ar tists, mechanics, and in fact young men from every walk in life are there- We recently visited and were shown through the institution by the assistant superintendent. Ninety per cent of those young men, and many of them splendid fellows' coufess they are there through drink. The superintendent says it cost the State one thousand dollars to convict and send them there and keep them, yet they tell us the sa loon is necessary as a business prop osition. The saloon has many warm friends in the churches, but Icha- bod is written over its door. We attended the meeting of the South ern liaptisc (Jonvenuon ac ixtuis ville. There we met several Tar Heels. Len. G. Bronghton, of At lanta, J. L. White, of Greensboro, and C. A. Sigmon, formerly of Le noir, but now a neighbor of mine located at Mitchell, Ind. THeShriners recently held their annual meeting in Louisville which was a grand exhibition of wealth and splendor. Nearly every State and all our island posessions and some eastern countries wvre repre sented. The parade is said to have leen the most expensive of any pa rade the city ever had. Since that meeting "Howdy" is both common and proper when you meet, forin that way they greeted each other and were greeted by Louisville. Now perhaps I had better close these rambling thoughts or they may get like the present tariff dis. enssion, a little too long. Y onrs respectfully, J. A. Downs.

Charlotte Chronicle. We understand that after the jury had rendered a verdict of ac quittal in the case of Biggers for the murder of Hood, Saturday af ternoon, the proposition to have Biggers committed to the State hos pital at Morganton, was discussed but was found to be impracticable. In an interview in yesterday's Chronicle, Solicitor Heriot Clark son outlined a plau that would quite effectively meet just such cases as Biggers. "Let the next session of the Legislature," he said, "pass a law giving our cir cuit court judges the power to send to the asvlnm for the criminal in sane for a period of from two to thirty years, all prisoners charged with killine and who are declared by a jury 'not guilty' on the insan ity plea." This suggestion is based on common sense. It is a matter that should be kept in mind and presented to the Legislature. The outcome of the Charlotte trial shows the absolute necessity for it. The best pills made are DeWItt's Little Early Risers, the famous little liver pills. They are small, gentle, pleasant, easy to take and act promp tly. They are sold by J. E. 8hell.

The man who owns a little moun tain farm, a sier, sewing machine and a few chickens bears the bur den of the taxes. His property is nearly always assessed at its full value. On the other hand the cap italist who owns his thousand and sometimes tents of thousauds of fine timber and mineral land has his property assessed at one-half or less than half its value. Some thing wrong. That's the condition of affairs in Swain county to-day. Bowel Complaint in Children. When six months okl the little daughter of E. N. Dewey, a well known merchant of Aguewville, Va., had an attack of cholera infantum. Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy wss given and effected a complete cure. This re medy has proven very enccsful in case of bowel complaint in child ren when given according to the plain printed direction can be relied upon with perfect confidence. When reduced with water and sweetened it Is pleasant to take, which is of great Importance when a medicine must be given to young children. For tale by J. E. 8hell, Druggist, Dr. Kent. 'Druggist. 8m
