Does anyone believe that the farmers are not really interested in political action to remedy the ills from which they suffer? Last week’s meeting of the«State Farm ers’ Union at China Grove offers some strong evidence fqr believing that the North Carolina farmers are ready to join with all other Workers in organizing a new ooli t ioal party, to he known as “the United Voters’ League." The resolutions declare that the laws as now written favor banking manufacturing, transnortation and commerce so that these interests are able to exploit agriculture by means of price-fixing monopolies. It is asserted (hat there can never he an independent and prosperous agriculture as long ns there is a Privately owned hanking system. It. is further set forth that under the present order of society 2 per rent of the people “rob all the balance of society” so cffcctivelv that this 2 ner cent owns twice as much iof the national wealth ns the other 0.1 per cent. The resolutions have little faith in the MeNary-Haugen bill be cause it is not directed at Wall Street. In state affairs, a secret ballot law is again indorsed, the power to tax is sail! to he used ruthless ly and the Tax Commission sur vey is condemned ns contrary to democratic principles. President Stone warned the farmers against the efforts of out siders to form a farmers’ organiza tion that would enable "a few of ficeholders” to dictate to the gen uir.e dirt farmers. The Greensboro News correspondent savs that President Stone aimed this warn ing at persons connected with State College and some of the of ficials of the farm demonstration bureau. It must have been an interestin'' convention. Whether it will result in a new political party in North Cnrnpra and elsewhere, is doubt ful. The ties which hold farmers, and others to their respective par ties 'are too strong to be broken l>v anything short of dire economic disaster. Fin^ Ancient Coin* In Old Jones Barn Kinston.—Jason Hicks, farm ten ant, exhibited 37 gold dollars found under the floor of an abandoned barn in Jones county yesterday. The coins were minted many years ago. The barn was erected before the civil vyar, in the belief or resi dents of vhe neighborhood, who concluded that Hicks found the hid den wealth of some family w’ho placed it under the barn floor dur ing the '60s when federal trooos when federal troops overran the section. It was ftfrgotten, perhaps, or the person who hid it died without retrieving the money. The eoins appeared to have been in a sm^ll box, fragments of which, thorough ly rotten, were found under a sill with the gold. PUBLICATION OF SIMMONS.

Mass.— Political union of the farmers of the south and west was prophesied and an. proved of by speakers at the in titute of polities. Economic kinship of the south and west and of other points of political sympathy were set forth by George A. Peek, president of of the agriculture which represents more than fifty farm organiza tions; by Clarence Uslcy, Dallas, Texas; hy Henry A. Wallace edi tor of Wallace’s Farmer a Western farm publication, and by Dr. B. C. Kilgore of North Carolina, chairman of the board of the American Cotton Growers’ Ex change representing cooperative associations in twelve states. The Me Na ry - Haugen farm re lief bill came in for strong sup port in the conference discussion. ‘The progress that has been made toward political cooperation of the west and south toward a fair and constructive policy is the re sult of little more than two years effort's said Mr. Peek. Mr. Walace. in urging co-opera tion said that farmers were not getting their fair share of the na tional income, nartly hecause of governmental nrtion favoring other classes.

W.Arrnnta, of this place, says: "I was suffering from spells of 1 weakness. These would come on me suddenly and I would have to give up and go to bed. For several i mouths I did not sleep well at night' and got no rest from sleep. I was very nervous. I could not near the | least noise. The children worried ' me. My nerves were all to pieces. *1 had taken Cardui several timet 1 : before, so I sent at once for some and began to take it again. At the , end of a short time I felt much bet , ter, so I kept right on taking Cardui. ! When 1 would feel a nervous spell ! coming on. I took it more frequently 1 for a few days. I "I can certainly say Cardui helped ‘ me wonderfully, for after a Him the | nervousness disappeared entirely. 1 could sleep at night and my genera] ’ health was better. My appetite pick ed up end I enjoyed my meals, too." Thousands of other women have told of the benefit they have receiv ed from the use of Cardui. Keep it on hand, to take when needed.

MC-lSt Boy Pulls Fangs Of Snakes Which Fall For His Tunes Salina, Kan.—Quite the most fas cinating sport for thirteen-year-old Lee Shults is pulling the fangs of rattlesnakes and turning them l< (•••'• on the prniaic. Lee is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Hugh Shults, storekeeper at Levant, Thomas county, Kan., where rattlesnakes are plentiful. The boy spots his rattlesnake and then on a inotith organ strikes up “Turkey in the Straw,” “The Blue Danube" or any other old time tune that charmed the dan cers of half a century ago. The rattler, coiled ready to strike, be gins to show signs of making up. Drawing closer and closer Lee fi- j nally reaches down and takes the j forefinger and thumb of the left hand. His right hand guides the mouth organ. The snake, when the music stops, begins to fight. But too late. Lee only presses his finger ar.d thumb together the harder to open its mouth. The harder he pinches the wider it opens. With a pair of pinchers Lee then pulls the fangs of the snake ant) all the while the rattler hisses and wriggles, wrap ping itself about Lee’s arm and shoulder. But he holds on until he has finished the extraction. Then he turns loose. And it loses no time in getting away. The praries of Thomas county have rattlers without fangs because of Lee. Some of them, four or five feet long, have six, eight and ten rallies and a button. Lee became tOo careless on e when he found a rattler, barely two years old. It had one rattle and a button. “Turkey in the Straw” charmed it completely. It was easy. Kut in an ungarded mo ment when the music stopped, the snake slipped its neck from Lee's finger and thumb and sunk its fangs into his light hand. Excited Lee let it drop. It was the first to get away from him, fangs and all. Lee rushed home and reported what had happened. He was rush ed to a hospital at Colby, the coun ty seat, several miles away. And he stayed two weeks. For several days the doctors were not sure he would get well, but he fi nally pulled through. While out of danger, he still suffers from the 1 stint?. ~ !
