LKTTJ8 OONVINCK YOU H. C. MARTIjST, EDITOR AND PROP. PUBLISHED TUESDAYS AMD FRIDAYS. PRICE SI .00 THE YEA VOLUME XI. JLEXOIR, ST.C, AUCJUST 27, 1900. XO. Home-Canned Goods. Charlotte Observer. W'hile the newspapers are liav ing so much to say about the farm ers raisinn their own wheat and corn and hay and meat at. home why is not more said about doing more in the way of canning fruits and vegetables If even a small proportion of the products of orchard and garden which are now going to waste all through the South was preserved in this way what a saving and wholesome varie ty it would add to the winter bill of fare. In some sections, we are glad to know, a good deal of canning of fruits and vegetables is done for home consumption, some ot the families having regular canning outfits. Richmond county is one section where much of this is done. The Rockingham Anglo Saxon says ''Several families in Rockingham and a number of others in the county have home-canning outfits, and are very successful with them. A few began experimenting with these outfits a year or so ago and their success has led others to go into the business. Several thous and cans will le put up in the county this year. Snap beans, to matoes, lorries, peaches, apples, kraut and all kinds of fruit and vegetables are being canned and the goods are said to tie of a higher uualitv than the liest grade of factory-canned goods on the mar ket." One reason assigned for this superior ijuality is localise the fruit and vegetables arc fresh er and in better condition when canned than those shipped long distances to the canning factories We venture the assertion that enough fruit ahd vegetables go to waste every year in almost every North Carolina county to supply the winter demand for every fami ly. This work is nether difficult nor onerous. Why, then, is so little of it done by our people! Beaufort Fishermen Land a Rec ord Catch of Mullet. Itcaufort, August 2.'t. The -Men haden fishermen of Peaufort, while at sea this morning ran into a school o! mullets more than a mile long and caught more than a half millions pounds of them. This is the largest catch of mullets that has ever been brought into this port. Kvery fish huckster in the town tonight is busy with a large force of help, slitting and salting these away in barrels for future ship ment. The value of this catch to the fishermen will exceed 1 0,000. The Home Cannery a good Investment. For the Farmer and Country Merchant, you could not make a better investment than to get an Ideal Home Cannery. They will assist you in saving many dollars worth of Fruits and Vegetables that would otherwise go to waste. The work is easy and the goods are pure and clean, and always sell up on their merits. Many people are doing this work and establishing a business that nets them :0.M to tHWi.OO profits per acre, others do even better. Any one can operate these little plants successfully. There are many things of which you could can this year, such as Corn, Leans, Tomatoes, Apples, Peaches, Sweet Potatoes, Cider, Cabbage and Kraut. Get an out fit and learn the methods so that y.iu may plant for next season Can ning. You can see one in actual work at Bernhardt' Hardware Store this and next week. There is more art in telling the truth than lying. Some Corn. Fgyetteville. Index. Mr. Jim Turlington and Mr. Frank Howard t sou of Kvanden, of the Salemburg section, have the finest corn I have seen anywhere. Mr. Turlington plants his with a wide middle and a narrow one, and with two rows of peas in the wide middle. The corn is very close in the drill, and I understood that it is estimated that it will make more than lOObusnels to the acre, l saw it trom the roaa ana it was "a sight". Mr. Turlington is a fine farmer. He has water works and sewerage in his house, the water bciug supplied by a wind mill. I went through Mr. Howard, s corn, tie has three acres ot the Biggs Prolific variety. His rows are two acres (140 yards) long and he counted 845 ears to the row. It takes 22 of the rows to make au acre, and if the row couuted is an average he will get more than 17, 000 ears of corn to the acre. Count ing 150 eats to the bushel, he will get more thau 100 bushels to the acre. On these three acres he put 24 wagon loads of barnyard manure and $M9 worth of commercial ferlil i.ers. He said that the fodder and hay would pay for the cultivation. This is some farming. There are thousands of acres of just such land in that section still uncleared. It will some day te a veritable paradise of farms. Little (iver News. Messrs. HaleighSims, Pin.onand ami Jarvis Tollx rtwill leave today for the Appalachian Training School at Boone.

Take Hall's F ainily Pills for eou-stiyatlou. whilst humbly submitting to the supreme will, would make line! record of the life and character of our deceased brother. James Hill Melton, son of James liabrielle and Louise Melton, was born at Elkville, Wilkes county, X. C, on May .8th, 1S78 and died in Lenoir, X. of typhoid fever on August Hth, 1909. Aged 31 years, 2 months and 29 days. In infancy his parents moved to the Yadkin Valley in Caldwell tounty, X. C, In October 1901, he came to and settled in Lenoir, X. C, and on October 20th, of the same year was married to Martha Ada Hainby, daughter of (iran ville L. and Jane Adelaide Hainby, whom with two small children are now liereft of husband and father., who was on August 10th, laid to rest in Belle view Ce-'ietery, Lenoir, upon whose grave this Lodge would lay the "Flower and the leaf" with such consideration for his loved ones as may in some small measure bind up their bruised hearts. His childhood, youth ami earlier man hood to the age of 23 were spent on the farm and in the forest, on the toad and stream "where bliss do mestic finds a dwelling place." Denied the advantage of more than ordinary education, Dame nature became his great teacher. He lis tencd to her in her most secret haunts ami watched her minutest caprice. She gave him vigor of mind and body and from her he learned the great lesson of self reli ance; and she kept him joyous and free hearted. Later when he came in contact with the life of the town he brought with him nothing mean or debasing and by virtue of his country life he was one of na tures noblemen. He first Iteeame a salesman in the store of Moore it (iwyn, then tor a time in the extensive establish ment of H. T. Xewland, and lastly with .1. W.Self, in each of which services he stood approved as one of the best salesmen in the town. He became the founder in 1!I07. of the haberdasher establishment of Melton Ttittle & Com pain, where he displayed that skill which made of that establishment a leader of its kind in the town, and now the crepe hangs upon the door for one of the most promising business young men in the town has fallen. He was made a Knight, and mem lier of this order and lodge on A u gust 25th, lilO.'i. His chief and most admirable characteristic was the care of his loved ones, not only his own fami ly, but his aged parents, to whom he was ever a most faithful son. He learned the lesson of friendship and practiced it among his fellows in a most admirable degree. Itr caution he learned the lesson of charity in mind and heart, as only it should be learned, and he put it into practice. He was brave in discriminating the true spirit of benevolence, and he stood among us a Knight with out fear and without reproach. To his loved ones this lodge would tender their heart felt sympu thy, and may their sorrrow at his departure be alleviated by the hope that remaineth, and by the love and tenderness of those who are yet about them. Let this mem orial be published in the town pa pears and a copy thereof sent to widow and parents of the deceased. Thomau Nkwi.and. S. L. TCTTI.K. J. (1. H.w.i.. Committee. to their love of baseball to buy lioxes of coffin tacks. Xo man in America has had a lietter oppor tunity to oliserve the effects vl cigarettes on boys than Judge IKmi B. Linsay, w ho presides over the Juvenile Court in Denver. He is no crank or extremist, and his or iginal and mild dealing with youth fal criminals has given him a nati onal reputation and many judges have followed his example with good results. He recently said; "I have lieen in the Juvenile Court nearly ten years, and in that time I have .ad to deal with thou sands and thousands of b.iys who have disgraced themselves and their parents, and who have brought sot row and misery into their lives: and I do not know of any one habit that is more respon sible for the troubles of these boys than the vile cigarette habit." That declaration comes from a judicial officer who has studied the matter in a way that makes him more competent to speak than any man in America. But there an other than judicial and moral in tluenees at work against these coffin tacks. The business world sees th injury and guards against it. The New York Times a few days ago said: 'The States of Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, Winconsin, Indiana and Illinois have recently forbibtien the manu facture or sale, or both, of cigarettes. The reasons involved in this Western prohibition of cig arette smoking for that is what is aimed at spring from physio logical and business considerations. Sti far as the Times has ascertained, moral reasons and preachments did not weigh. As in the case of the railways which require total abstinent1" from intoxicants ot their employes, the Western business men noted that thebovsand voting men who were addicted to the smoking of cigarettes were inefli cicnt. Their nervous energies were thought to be continually running loose, and could not lie concentrated upon their tasks. The Western doctors talked about th 1 rapid, weak and irregular hearts of those whose lingers were stained from too much smoking. It lie came customary to refuse employ ment to persons bearing this badge of servitude to nicotine. Then, we are told, the habit liegan to lie tin iversally discarded." Kvery now and then you find a man who smokes cigarettes whose mind is clear ami whose morals are alnivc reproach, but lie is set ting a bad example to boys who are apt to be ruined by the habit. It is possible to get rich by at tending to other people's business if you attend to it right. Cholera Infantum Cured. "Something like two years ago my baby, which was then about a year old, was taken seriously ill with chol era infantum, vomiting and purging profusely, writes J. F. Dempsey, Ala. I did what I could to relieve her but did her no good, .and being very much alarmed about her went for a physi cian but failed to tliul one. so came hack by Kliicr Bros. Carter's store and Mr. Klder recommended Cham berlain's Colic, Cholera and Diar rhoe remedy. I procured a bottle of it and went home as quickly as pos sible and gave the baby a dose of the remedy. It relieved her in titteeu minutes and soon mired her entirely. Per sale by J. E.

The Fuller bill, the most drastic and far rcashing prohibition bill ever drawn in Alabama was passed in the Senate Friday by a vote of 2;$ to t'.. The measure forbids the posession even of liquor except in private resiliences, makes the ac cused party prove his own inno cence lie fore any evidence against him is introduced makes the use of the word saloon a crime, bars the advertisement of liquors from the bill boards and signs, and holds that even the posession of a Feder al liquor license is absolute proof ol ,'iiilt in selling intoxicants. The bill has a dozen other nearly as strong clauses, and the only amendment made was the one strik ing out the clauses, forbidding the sale in the State of all newspapers or magazines which contain liquor advertisements, The bill was pass ed bv the house last week.
