Ex-president Roosevelt has refer
red to President Wilson as a "by
zantine logothete". Of course, you
know what he means.
A penny spent for a red ; cross
stamp is a penny toward stamping
put consumption.. You can get the
stamps at the Postoffice - or Missil
dine's Pharmacy.
Clerk - Burgess of the Board of
County Commissioners has given
The News copy of the annual report
of the board and if will be published
in, next weeks issue.
The money sent away to mail
order houses and money . - spent it
neighboring cities is impoverish
Ing Polk County to that extern.
Polk County merchants are alive,
they are putting out bargains to in
duce you to trade at home. Read
their ads, meet them half way and
spend your money at home. You
will encourage local merchants tc
carry better lines and larger assort
ments by trading at home. The dol
lar you send away is gone never tc
return. . ,
ABOLISH POSTMASTERS
William H Taft is advocating the
abolisment of postmasters, in the
large city offices. The former presi
dent contends they are inefficient
and uneconomic.. The saving would
be $4,000,000 annually. He says tin
deputy postmasters named undei
civil service should be made post
masters and the business operated
as any big; business is conducted
thus ending the awful waste of mon
ey and taking the postoffic,e out oi
politics. Postmasters in offices o.
the first class are ornamental, serve
no useful purpose and are no longer
a political asset after their appoint"
merit. - If four, millions of dollars
can be saved annually and an actual
betterment of the service be made
at the same time, why, in the name
of common sense, isn't it dene? Our
people are a tolerant set but surely
we will wake up to the situation soon
and stop public, as well as private
graft. In private life a grafter is
despicable. 1 ,
BIG PECAN ORCHARD
The first fruits of the 100 acre pe
can orchaifd planted by Frank V
Scott, of Elizabeth City, are being ex
hibited by the proud owner. One of
the 2,000 trees bore nuts for the firs)
time this fall. Seventy other irees
bloomed this summer and will bear
nuts next fall. By the year 1920
Mr Scott believes his orchard will
be yielding handsome returns.
Frank Scott's orchard is the larg
est in the state. It was planned five
years ago and he has, had such won
derful success with his young trees
that nurserymen and horticulturists
all over the United States have beer
interested in his experiment. The
pecans are of the paper shell variety
and. are easily marketable at fancy
prices. .The orchard is in NIxonton
Township, about four and a half
miles from Elizabeth City. Eliza
