NORTH CAROLINA INVENTORS

Have given to the world many nota-
BILE inventions. There is not a COM
munity in the State that does not pos
sess o. more local geniuses, who
have ideas that are patentable, and
which if properly developed will bring
fame and fortune to their owners. It
is often the case that some simple little
appliance devised by the housewife, the
storekeeper, the farmer and others to
expedite work or lessen labor, puts
into play an entirely new principle in
invention which may have far greater
value than is known to the originator.
North Carolinians who have evolved
such ideas owe it to themselves and the
industrial enlargement of their State
to ascertain if the same is p~atentable.
All such are requested to send a brief
description, sketch, or photo to the
Patent Law Department of the Asso-
ciated Trade and Industrial Press, 60
Thirteenth street, Washington, D. c.,
and they will hear something to their
advantage. This enterprise is man
aged by a we'll known North Carolinian
who will take a personal interest in
the furtherance of inventive genius in
the Old North State. Other State
papers are requested to copy this notice
and send marked copy.

A MISTAKE

Correspondence of the Progressive Farmer.
FALKLAND, N. @.
I saw in your paper of a recent date
q clipping from the Greenville Refec-
tor stating that Mr.. J. @. Cox, deceas-
ed, was the inventor of the Cox Cotton
Planter which is a mistake. My father,
Capt. Bryan Smith, was the original
inventor, and after his planter had
been in use many years Mr.. J. G. Cox
made improvements on the planter
and procured a patent on his improve,
ments. My father saw Mr.. Cox in per-
son and tried to prevail with him
without going to law, but the matter
went on from time to time and nothing
was done. Ny fathers proposal to Mr..
Cox that if he would pay n dollar as
a royalty on each planter that he made
he would not bother him any further,
and Mr.. Cox declined to do that. So
finally Mr.. Cox sold his patent to MI.
Nathan Stanly and Mr., Alfred Kenne
dy, near Kinston, N. c., and they com
menced making the planter and for
some cause unknown to me they ceased
making the planter. Ny father went
to Kinston about that time and sold his
patent to Messrs. Stanly and Kennedy
for the sum of five hundred dollars and
in a short while they traded their pat
ent or patents back to Mr.. J. @. Cox,
and I do say if Mr.. J. G.. Cox had not
used my fathers invention he never
could have planted one seed. The rea-
son why I make this assertion is that
all intelligent people know that are
familiar with patents that they always
contain specifications. My fathers
patent specified the cylinder feed board
and pins and the manner in which the
pins were regulated around the cylin
der, and I will say further that if any
one should doubt what [ have written,
1 will refer them to ex-Sherif Warren
and ex Sheriff W. M. King, as they
were my fathers nearest neighbors.
Please publish this for the intorma-
ton of your many readers.
Very respectfully,
8. NJ. SMITH.

v AND WHY.

Why does God make an Investment
Of his love in a poor sinner2 He Is too
wise to do it were it not profitable,
both to himself and the sinner who is
saved. Does God save us that we may
simply escape hell2 If that were true
then grace is only insurance against
destruction by the fires Of hell. 1t is
all that and vastly more.
Does God save US that we may be at
ease in idleness2 Surely not, Or else he
would not issue the command, Go
Workto day in my vineyard" Neither
would he say, "Woe unto them that
are at ease in Zion"
The Bible very clearly teaches why
God invests grace to save a sinner. 1t
is that God may use US in doing MS
will and work among men.
Why are some Christians stronger
than others9 We have the answer in
Rom. ISL: 1--WE then that are strong
- ought to bear the infirmities of the
weak, and not to please ourselves"
In this Christ pleased not himself"
but denied himself to benefit others.
Let us find the weak" ones and in
loving sympathy bear their "infirmi
ties" Had Christ been a critic he
would have plenty of imitators. Why
ought we to labor" have" surplus
from LAHORE God nswers this ques-
ton and his answer kills covetousness
and cures laziness. For the killing Of
covetousness read Eph. 1928: Let him
that stole steal no more; but rather let
him labor, working with his hands the
thing which is good, that he may have
10 give to him that needeth." Cures
stealing also. We labor then not to
''haord up''wealth and withit crush Joy
out of other lives, but that as a result of
labor, we may have to give to him that
needeth. So many sick suffering ones;
so many aged, inirm, and crippled that
cannot work-Christ would have US
care for them. Are you doing your
part of this7
Why are we comforted when in trou
ole of any kinda For answer to this
question, see 2 Cor. L: BLESSED be
God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus
Christ, the Father of mercies, and the
God of all comfort; who comfort
eth us in all our tribulation that we
may be able to comfort them which are
in any trouble by the comfort where
with we ourselves are comforted Of
God" This is so good. God who com
forteth us would have us recognize that
comfort is capable to be used in
comforting others.
Dear reader, there are lonely hearts
to cherish while the days are going by
many Of them. Are you doing your
share of this works May be God has
taken away your talent" of comfort
because you used it not to comfort 9th
ers. Look into this matter at once.
Why are we forgiven our tires
passes" Open your Bible and read
carefully Matthew GA, Is; Eph. 4:32;
Col, 3:13 Then turn to Matthew 18th
chapter and read every word from the
23rd to the 35th verse, and may the
Holy Spirit show you as never before
that your only hope Of heaven is to for
give as you have been forgiven. Read
your Bible at once on this point; don't
delay.
Finally, why did Christ die for us2
o Jesus help us now to recognize thy
great claims upon us. See LIST John 3:
Hereby perceive we the love of God,
because he laid down his life for us;
and we ought to lay down ur lives for

ISLANDER.

4 whisper broke the air
4 soft light tone and bow,
81 bar6ed with shame and woe;
Now might 1t only perish Inere,
Nor further go!
4h mel A quick and eager ear
Caught up a little meaning sound!
Gnother VO.c9 has breathed it clear,
And 50 it ward5rs round
Fr0m ear to lip, from lip to ear
1-1tII it reached a gentle heart,
And THAT IT BROKE!
II was the ONLY heart it found,
The only heart twas meant to find,
When first its accents woke;
Il reached that tender heart at last,
And THAT IT BROKEi
low as it seemed to OTHER ears,
II came a thunder crash to HERS,
Tn t fragile girl so fair and gay
That guileless girl SO pure and true!
lis said a lovely humming bird
That in a fragrant lily lay,
And dreamed the summer nor away,
Was killed but by a guns report,
Some idle boy had fired in sport
The very sound a death blow caused!
And thus her happy heart that beat
With love and hope so fast and sweet,
Shrined in its lily, too,
For who the maid that knew,
ButOwned the delicate flower like grace
Of her young form and face!
When first that word
Her light heart heard,
It huttered like the frightened bird,
Thus shut it wings and sighed,
And with a silent shudder-DIED!
