The proper use of the simple spit log drag would save oar South ern farmers many thousands, of dollars during the season of bad jroads in late winter and earl yJresentative Paul Kitchin, Senator spring.: 'Discussing its value",, Mr. D. H. Winslow, Of the Road Di vision, United States Department of Agriculture, who has been help ing the local authorities in York County, C, gives this highly Interesting story of how the drag Originated: i4 I "The object of the split log drag is not solely to round up a road as 80 many people think; but rather to make It shed the water. The inventor got his idea from a hog wallow. '1 Having noticed, that a hog wallow holds water longer than any ordinary mud puddle, he began to study out the reason, aud at last from watching the pigs . as they wallowed and twisted about Over the bottom, decided that the wallowing and twisting had a pe culiar CrOweling effect on the mud that closed the interstices against the drainage of the water. Then the idea occurred to him that it he could produce this same troweling effect on the surface of a road, he might make it shed water also. He finally hit upon the split log cou trivance, and dragging it over the Joad after rains found that the process not only helped to shape joads up, but that they kept in shape." Mr. Winslow declares that the split log drag "is the best imple ment that has ever been invented to keep earthen highways in good shape." And he is right. (This simple device for im proving the public roads, is un questionably one of the most economical and serviceable imple ments knowu for working the roads and why they re not used more by people having the working of roads in charge is a mystery. We doubt if Caldwell has more than one or two of them in the whole county. News.) Hannibal William. Since resigning his position as professor in the Albany (N.Y.) academy, in 1882, Mr. Hannibal Williams, has been contitfuously before the public as an interpreter of the plays of Shakespeare. He has recently returned from a professional tour of the world, covering a period of more than five years. In the chief cities of this country, and in many foreign lands, he has won a most enviable reputation. Indeed, if half the praises bestowed upon him be true, an evening of rare profit and pleas ure is in store for those who hear him in the great play of 'King Henry IV on the evening of March 17th.

The general expec tation here has been all along that E. B. Powell, who shot down Rep Travis and Chief of Police Dunn at Scotland Keck last ? week Dunn haying since died, would . ..set , up the defense that he wa insane at the time of the killing. While h talks about the shooting very lit: tie, he has told the officers .having him in custody.that he has no rec ollection of the quarrel and: shoot ing at all.; And he came to him self after lie hpd reached his home, following the shooting and when bis daughter, was talking to him. He claims, that even then he had no recollection of the shooting or of any letter he had accused Sena tor Travis of not answering. Out at the penitentiary the guards say that Powell is reserved and morose occasionally seeming to lose con trol ot himself and appear to be somewhat overcome by the realiza tion of the prediciment he is in. TheWacte Batket Editor DeCamp, of The Gaffney Ledger, has been having some ex perience which has impelled him to a defense of that much malign ed article of office furniture, the waste basket. Incidentally he shows up the functions of that use ful receptacle in a new light. "If someday," he says, "the newspa per man should print the contents of his waste basket there would probably be a riot. There would certainly be trouble in many homes arrests in some direction, shotguns in others, trouble all around. But the patron never sees the waste basket. He only glances at the becutifully printed pages, com plaints if one letter in fifty is up side down, growls his disappoint ment if one name iu five hundred happened to co wrong, kicks be cause his communication, signed 'Tax 1'ayer,' ha been condensed into respectable English, frowns be cause the editor didn't take his ad vice about publicly warning his neighbors against throwing mere melon in the alley, and is generally disgruntled, Vot so much at what he fails to find. lie knows his Share of the waste basket, but it he could have one look at the con tributions made to that receptacle by his neighbors and friends, he would thank God for the existence of such a mau with sufficient cour age and intelligence not to trint all he knows, and to temper even that which he does priut." This tribute to the waste basket 1 and the useful place which it fills is well deserved. Hardly a week pass es that it does not save somebody trouble. It takes care of the hasty temper and cools it off, after which it - generally receives thanks in place of the abuse of which at first it was the object. The waste bas ket is a sort of a safety valve. It does its work well in all instances and nobody gets hurt. Chronicle.

McKary was called upon to inspect 18 bar rels of tripe at the State Hospital and condemned every one as being unlit for eating. The tripe had been bought from Swift & Co., the same company that sold the hogs condemned in the markets yesterday morning, and Dr. McKee, anxious to have only pure food for the patients, sent for Mr. McEary to make ex amination. 8ixteen of the pack ages were marked ''Regular Tripe" and two were labled "Pickled Tripe''. In the presence of Dr. McKee, Mr. McKary opened all the casks and found the contents of each totally unlit for food and ordered that they be buried at once. They raise the price of our meats at will, and when a committee pro tested some time ago it was inform ed that the people could either buy the meat or leave it alone. After fixing the prices arbitrarily the consumer should at least get pure food for his good money. Kveu ing Times. To Fete Mighty Hunter. Khartum, March 18. Khartum is now in gala attire awaiting the coming of Theodore Roosevelt, who with the other members of the A merican hunting and scientific ex pedition, is aboard the steamer Dal, on the last leg ot the journey to thh city. The steamer is expect ed here tomorrow afternoon, but an unusually strong northern gale is blowing, which is kicking up heavy waves in the river, and it is possible that the arrival of the dis tinguished American will be some what delayed. ' Colonel Roosevelt's success in shooting In the Soudan a dozen an telopes, including one, known as Mrs. G raj's white eared antelope, and other rare specimens, makes a fitting end to his hunt, which has been successful beyond all expec tations. Hencfoi th, the ex Presi dent will be the guest of honor at a series of brilliant and enthusiast ic receptions. The first was held at Jungle station of the American mission at Sobat, where Colonel Roosevelt dined on his way here. Before his departure from Sobat he spoke of the manner in which the medical missionary work at various stations had impressed him. , v, Child Burned. The little eight year old daugh ter ol Mr. E. P. Cline was badly burned yesterday by falling into the leeching vat at the Price-Cline Tannery, a mile and a half north of town. The mUtnre in the vat had been heated, as is the custom and the little girl in passing near it slipped and fell iu, getting her feet and legs up to the knees badly scalded. Fortunately Mr. Cline was near and rescued her or her injuries might have been very se vere. Dr. McNairy was summon ed and attended her and while she is suffering a good deal, he does not consider her injuries as serious. Night Letter Service. A special night service, effec tive the 7th inst, has been es tablished by the Western Union Telegraph Company. The charge for this service will be the standard day rate for ten words, for the transmission of 50 words or less. Example: 50 word night letter to New York 50c; Charlotte, 25c ; Chicago, 60c; San Francisco, ll.OO To be taken at these rates. "Night Letters'' must b wntteu in plain English language -code words or communications writ ten in foreign languages will not be accepted. The tariffs charged for Night Letters are so low, it is ex pected that the Dew service will be largely availed of by business concerns and othern to quicken their correspondence by uaing the Telegraph instead of the mails. A night letter sent by telegraph will reach its destioa tion at the opening of business the following morning, thus saving as much as three or, four dajs when long distances are involved. RhodhiM Mills Shut Down. The Rhodhiss Manufacturing Company has shutdown its mill for an indefinite period, on ac count of the conditions of the cotton and yarn markets. This mrows out or employment a large number of hands, who must either move to other places or wan for tne mill to resume operations. The company has offered all who stay their homes free of rent until they can be given work. Textile Manufac turer (Charlotte.) Mr. W. A. Fulwood, of Maiden, was iu Lenoir Monday looking af ter some business matters, .. POLK MILLER QUARTETTE. Upon one memorable occasion Polk Miller traveled. to Boston with the "Old South" quartette of ne gro factory hands, which will be with him at the concert to begiv mi here on Saturday night, Marc 19, under the auspices of the Radclffe Entertainment Burea. It was rather an odd sight a gray-coated Confederate veteran in the hot bed of abolition, with a bunch of the genuine, unexpurgated "nig gers" who had been allowed none of the educational milling then ho ardently desired by the Northern reformers. But Polk Miller's abilities as an eutertainer with stood even this crucial test and in stead of precipitating a new Civil War he came off with this from the Boston Transcript, oue of the most precise aud critical journals in the country: i "At Chickering Hall last even ing Mr. Polk Miller and his quar tette of uegroes appeared for the first time in public in Boston, al though they have alread been heard here at private residences and clubs. The entertainment. which is called "Old Times Down South," is not like anything in the amusement line w hich has been given here before. The negro quartette is not composed of train ed singers, but men of wnom Mr. Miller selected because they could sing. 1 heir singing was most en joyable. The youngest one had a strong bass voics which he used to good advantage and it was a treat to watch the oldest of the quar tette who had the swing aud the shout of the old-time negrov Some of the songs, especially "Old Dan Tucker" and 'Suwanee River,' given with the cadeuce and pecu liar intonation of the plautatation blacks, were revelations to those who had only heard such pieces rendered iu a conventional style. The whole entertainment was sim ply delightful." Mrs. C. M. Uickerson returned Monday to her home in Andrews, X.C. Her mother, Mrs. M. M. Gwyn, accompanied her and will remain in Andrews for a few weeks . PARAGRAPHS. It's a poor epigram that won't work l)oth ways. l'n requited love is simply the love that is not quite. Tact is too often merely the art of lying without being found out. The thief who steals a dollar watch should be made to wind np his time in jail. When two talkative women get together don't they sort of suggest a double chin. Luck is what enables others to succeed; pluck is the quality that brings onr own success. Some fellows are such liars that they will even lie awake at night thinking up new ones. Many a fellow who boasts that he is wedded to his art feels like suing her for non-support. Sillicus You never can tell a botit a woman. Cynicns You mi'an you never should tell. Mr. W. A. Curtis, editor ot The Franklin (N.C.) Press, died March 1st, 1910. in his 69th year. His two sonSj W.
