Mattock's, who has been manager of the Real Estate depart ment of th Lenoir Realty & In surance company since the organ isation of the company, some years ago, has resigned the office, his re signation taking effect last Bator day. Mr. Mattocks has been a tireless worker and has managed his branch of the basin ess, we un derstand, very successfully. The company made nice money daring the several year of its existence before the panic struck Ihe country, bat Lenoir real estate, like that of every other town in the conn try, vu effected by the slump in busi ness, in October 1907 and like most other places, the basinets is still quiet. Mr. A. N. Todd has been elected as Mr. Mattocks successor and will be assisted by Mr. J. It. Hall in the work. Mr. Mattocks has not yet decided what he will o, he has had several very flatter ing offers made him in other places, in different lines of business and has taken those propositions under advisement. We trust he will find it advisable to remain iu Lenoir, as he has many friends here who wonld dislike to see him and his family leave our town Gen Taylor's Horse. Mr. Nelson Powell, who has a wonderful memory and is an authority on things of the olden time, tells us that the fine white horse that President Zacharay Taylor owned when he was elected, President was raised in this county, then Burke. In 1838, Maj E. P. Miller, who whs ordered with his company, to assist in re- meving the Cherokee Indians, had a man named Grinway, iu the company who acted as quartermas ter of the commissary department Jand he owned the famous white horse. He sold the horse to Gen. Scott and at New Orleans, Geu Scott sold him to Gen. Taylor. When Gen. Taylor was elected to the presidency, he took the horse I ml I to Washington where he was much admired, having become with pass inc years perfectly white and was try .' known as "old Whitie". When he died he was buried with milli tarv honors, a detachment of ; troons tiriuir a salute over the i i j grave. Fox Chase. Ralph Parlier, of King's Creek, is one of the few successful fox hunters of this county. He went nnt nn morning this week and three line nosed dogs of his soon struck a "hot trail" and off they went with Ralph close hehind. It was only a few minutes until the fox was routed from his bed. Then it, was nin and tuck, round and " .. round the mountain, over t h brush and through the fields; for thirty minutes this was kept np with much excitement and great sport. But, alas! too soon the rau sic of the dogs suddenly hushed and everything hecame quiet, ex cept Ralph, who was puffing and blowing, doing his best to get to the point where the dogs were last heard, and when he reached th place, he found all the dogs pres ent and, in the center of them, IsrirA rd fox. dead.

The publio Mtriun Invited to all of these the heavy storms and rains have had a very discouraging effect on the people up in the mountains. The crops of grain will be short and there is not the usual number of summer visitors at the resorts. Mr. J. G. Chester, who last week visited friends on John's River, reports short crops in that section, Gaston County is in the turmoil of another election and the removal of the court house from Dallas to Gastonia. The contest is a warm one and will no doubt cause much hard feejing and dissatisfaction, no matter how it may terminate.

Concaine Craze. Athens Recorder. A prominent farmer from the Hollow Creek section oi Lexington county states tnat tne governing the sale of cocaine is being openly and flagrantly violated in his sec tioiv. lie states that the situation among the negroes is rapidly be coming intolerable, in that farm hands are using the dope to the ex tent that they are practically use les,s. He says that the negroes carry jt around in their pockets, selling it at church gatherings, and in some instances they become wild and almost unmanageable.

Southern Field. Reports from all over the South indicate a steady and increasing de man for farm properties as well as much activity in the handling of business and residence lots in the towns and cities. There are no in flations in the land values, but gradual rises in prices are placing them on higher levels than a few years ago and point to the fact that Southern lands are both splendid investments and good properties to handle and operate. There is such demand for farm properties as shows that Southern lands are be coming the more widely known, and that many of the farmers of the North and West realize that the best and cheapest lands now offering are those in the South. Farming properties are constant ly bringing higher prices. There are no unwarranted efforts in this direction or tendencies to create values in anticipation of growth and development. Lands are bringing the better prices strictly on their merits as good farming propositions. There is every rea son for this, as some remarkable results have attended the recent activities of the farming interests Almost every issue ot the South ern agricultural papers contains a detailed statement giving the splendid profits which has been secured by a farmer who has tabu lated receips and expenses in typi cal business form, the showing made being such as clearly de monstrates that Southern farm lands are good dividend payers? a id ha ve as yet not even approach ed the price at which they will be in much larger demand in the not distant future. The Southern farmer has so many branches of agriculture which can be profitably followed and such a greater grow ing season to mature his many crops in that he has a distinct ad vantage over the farmer of other sections and can follow in avenues of profit which are not open to them. There is a growing tendency toward diversified crop?, and much interest is being taken in the grow ing of larger crops of truck, fruit grain and hay. and greater supplies of cattle, sheep, horses and mules The dairy interests are and more attention to many other branches ture. Farmiug properties are higher wholly from good business reasons. From similar causes is greater activity in town aud city property.

Boger, was instantly killed by a stroke of lightning at Kannapolis Sunday afternoon. The child was at the home of a neighbor on Chesnut, street, and was standing on the In a Barnyard there was a brood of little ducklings, one of them, larger than the others, was a very ugly white bird that appear ed to be hated by all of the others, and was constantly being pecked at and abused. As time went on the "ugly duckling" developed into a lovely white swan, the ad miration of everyone who saw it, and the envy of those who used to peck at it. The "ugly duckling'' is Pric?. They pecked and hammered away at us and said we could'nt do it. But today the name Price stands for quality, and the difference between the Price make and others is as great as the difference between the leautifnl swan and the common barnyard duck.
