BRAGGART TN 1.0VK
When I have grown too weary to be
sweet.
When you have tired me out of pa
tience quite,
These much-kissed lips will bare
their teeth to bite;
These hands, by you caressed, make
fists to beat
Tour egotism down. You'll cry de
feat
And plead for mercy from my hoard
ed spite:
Then I shall have my ultimate de
light—
To pay with truth the coin of your
deceit.
Ao weave your stories, hero of them
all
Braggart and knave to me. 1 listen,1
still
And faintly smiling In that hour
recall
I made no sruiwer but that quiet I
chill
And unbelieving smile, that one |
could call
You dear and hate and bend you to
her will!

Soil Building Helps
Shown By Shoffner
Never a More Important Time Than
Now For Crimson Clover,
Vetch, Winter Peas.
(By County Agent R, H’. Shoffnerl
There has not been any time in
recent years that is more suitable
titan the present time for building
soil In the past, farm products
especially cotton has been a good
price and it has been hard for the
former to sacrifice his land fv>i
some good building product. Now
cotton and other farm products
are very’ low. Therefore, the riches'
soil on his farm would be the most
profitable to cultivate. Why not take
the rest of his land and seed it. to
some soil building legume?
The most important thing in
building land is to keep the soil in
the field: that is, to prevent wash
ing. To prevent washing, we must
have some crop that will hold wat
er We have several good winter
cover crops We have three espec
ially good ones for this section.
Crimson Clover: Crimson clovet
can be sowed in the cotton stalks
com field or wherever you might
want to put it. Crimson clover
should be sown sometime during
September. One of the best method.,
of seeding it would be to sow the
seed in the hull at the rate of thir
ty pounds per acre, or twenty or
twenty-five pounds clean seed. The
advantage of sowing in the hull
would be. no Inoculation needed
and no preparation of the land;
lust sow the seed over the field. In
the spring crimson clover will make
a crop of hay or you can turn down
this crop and plant the corn or any
crop suitable for that time of year.
Vetch: Vetch is an exceptional
good cover crop The hairy and
winter vetch is the one most suited
for this section Vetch makes s
large growth and furnishes a lot of
material for turning under. It
should be seeded in the latter part
of August or the first of September,
at the rate of twenty or twenty-five
pounds to the acre and a little deep
er covering should be used than foi
the crimson clover. This crop can
be turned down early enough for
corn or any other crop in the
spring.
Austin Winter Peas: Austin win
ter peas were first grown in North
Carolina about five years ago. This
legume is increasing its popularity
very fast. This plant resembles the
ordinary garden pea. except the
blooms are a rich purplish red
They are mighty easy to grow and
have plenty of vegetation since they
are easier to inoculate than the

Model Prisoner.
Lucas was sentenced to prison for
life 23 years ago for the murder of
Clyde Showalter, a young stock buy
er. As prisoner No. 401, he has been
a model Inmate, working in the
greenhouse. One Of his two Infrac
tions of the rules here was for sing
ing a hymn in his cell after hours.
More than a month ago, George
R Pond, a farmer, confessed on
his death-bed to killing Showalter
during a hold-up. A movement has
been started to obtain freedom for
Lucas. It may be forthcoming in
about a month
Lucas was s day laborer. He will
be penniless if freed. There is no
legal way for the state to pay him
for his services unless a bill is
passed by the legislature. Only one
other man is known to have served
so long a term for murder and then
to have been entirely acquitted of
the crime. He was a Pennsylvania

other 1s unknown.
"My only desire,” he said, "is to
go back home and re-establish my
self among the people who remem

they will give me a chance. And
my biggest regret is that my moth

Mrs. Lucas was convicted with
her son of the murder. She obtained
a new trial, however, and the
charges were dropped. She died
three years ago after doing all In
her power to clear her eon's name.
Wet Test Seen For
N. C. With Reynolds
The candidacy of Robert R. Rey
nolds for the United States senate
is "a chance to test the wet senti
ment in North Carolina." writes
Clinton W. Gilbert in the New
York Evening Peat. "This has never
been really tested,” continued Mr.
Gilbert, "though there are two
members of the house from the
state who are regarded as wet, or
perhaps it Is better to say not dry.
The younger element in the Demo
cratic party of North Carolina in
sists that the majority of the state
Is now wet and that an intelligent
wet campaign will win. With Mr.
Reynolds as a candidate, the mem
bers of this group will be able to
| show what, they can do, helped some
what by the fact that the dry vote
will be split among several candi
dates. Mr. Reynolds may go on the
stump and tell the truth about the
failure to enforce prohibition in the
state, which is no more dry actually
than are the soealled wet states
farther north”
