The progressive farmer. [volume] (Winston, N.C.) 1886-1904, 1903-05-26

Durham Sun: The farmers are
still complaining of the dry weather
and the great need of rain. The
Spring of 1908 will long be remem-
bered as one of the most unfavorable
that has ever been known in this Sec
ton. Farm work is almost at a
standstill, and crops that are in the
ground are suffering severely. Gar
den products are likewise suffering.
Unless rain falls in the near future,
crops will be irreparably damaged.

The Democratic primary election
campaign is now open in full force,
and up to and including the 25th of
July, the voters will doubtless be i'm
portuned to give their support to the
aspirants for political honors. 1t is
our only regret that everybody cam
not win so that all would be salts
fed, but as each and every Demo
crat will be called upon to make an
individual choice, he should be gov
erned by the feeling that he must cast
his ballot for the candidate who will
come more nearly to commanding
the full vote of the Democratic party
at the November election. We are
all human, but in making up our
minds, the success of the party should
have greater weight than individ-
ual feelings and our ambition should
be to present a united ticket, which
will command the respect of every
one rather than vote as matter OF
sentiment. There will be campaigns
when our individual wishes can be
considered but we must forego likes
and dislikes in critical times like these
when so much is at stake. The Demo-
Gratis must nominate strong ticket
in order to be successful at the gen.
eral election.

SOFT CORE;

Like the running brook, the
red blood that flows through
the veins has to come from
somewhere.
The springs of red blood are
found in the soft core of the
bones called the marrow and
some say red blood also comes
from the spleen. Healthy bone
marrow and healthy spleen
are full of fat.
SCOTS Emulsion makes new
blood by feeding the bone
marrow and the spleen with
the richest of all fats, the pure
cod liver oil.
For pale school girls and
invalids and for all whose
blood is thin and pale, SCOTS
Emulsion is a pleasant and rich
blood food. 1t not only feeds
the blood-making organs but
gives them strength to do
their proper work.

POsTOFFIcE SCANDALS.

The recent scandals in the Post
office Department reached a culmina-
ton on Friday, when Mr.. A. W..
Machen, former Fourth Assistant
Postmaster General and superin-
tendent of the Free Delivery System
was placed under arrest By order of
the Assistant Attorney General. It
is charged that this ex-official has
been guilty of accepting rakeoffs in
contracts that have been made with
the United States Government for the
sale of certain articles. The sums of
money thus illegally taken from the
treasury are estimated to run any
where from $4,000 to $4,000. 1t
has also been found that many clerks
were receiving higher salaries than

THE HOME DINNER TABLE.

The requirements of good form are
nowadays so commonly understood, and
so easily ascertainable, that there is no
excuse for young hostess who is not in
formed on all the minor matters. In re-
gard to the home dinner table, good
form demands that it should be arranged
every day as carefully as though guests
were expected. A little ceremony at
dinner is correct, The pleasure of taking
meals is greatly enhanced by attractive
serving and well.arranged table Also,
this practice obviates the annoyance that
is often occasioned by husbands bring
ing friend home to dinner unexpectedly.
In The Delineator for July the proper ar
rangement of the table is explained at
length, and the article may be consulted
with confidence as to the reliability of
the information.

that allowed by the postallaws, and
in consequence thereof a large num-
Der of reductions have been ordered.
The investigation is being conducted
under the personal direction of Post
master General Payne, who, is as
everyone knows, is what is termed a
practical politician" Many public
journals, as we'll as private individ-
uals, have urged President Roosevelt
to suspend the Postmaster General
during the present investigation, as
much of..the alleged crookedness has
occurred during his regime. 1t has
even been limited that the work is not
being pushed in the sincere manner
that it should be in order to relieve
the party in power from the dis
grace caused by the recent exposures
and those that are to come.
For sometime past it has been an
open secret that there were crooked
dealings in connection with the
Postoffice Department, but the pres
emit Postmaster General refused to
allow fair and thorough investiga-
ton until the focus OF public opinion
was so strongly directed on his
official action that he found himself
placed in the unpleasant position of
being compelled to accede to their
demands.
The present status would seem to
indicate that many other persons,
high in authority, are mixed up with
questionable dealing wherein the
Government has been flched out OF
large sums of money so as to allow
commensurate commission to both
sides. Under the most favorable cir.
cumstances the Republican party is
bound to have much odium attached
to the record of this administration
for allowing the present status Of
affairs to continue so long. If those
in authority do not promptly push
the investigation to the very bottom
and see that the guilty parties re,
ceive adequate punishment, it will be
a blot that even time cannot effect.
ually remove. The present Post,
master General may doubtless be
actuated by only the purest motives,
but it is needless to say that not only
the country at large, but many Of
his associates distrust him and the
burden of proof will be on his
shoulders to show that he is entirely
sincere.

CHECK CAME BACK
 ON THE ENDORSER
MAN ARRESTED IN TALLADEGA WILL HAVE TO ANSWER THE CHARGE OF OBTAINING MONEY UNDER FALSE PRETENsEs.


 Deputy Sheriff Hill will go to Talla- dega today to bring W. B. Cheshire to Birmingham to answer a charge of secur- ing money under false pretenses. He Is charged with having a worthless check endorsed by J. H. Winkler and cashed at the Morris hotel MT. Winkler was com pelled to reimburse the Morris hotel and swore out a warrant for the arrest of Cheshire, who it is said is a travelling salesman.
 The warrant was sworn out before M. H. Crittenden, justice of the peace, by MT. Winkler. The charge in the warrant is that Cheshire represented to MT. Wink Ter that he had money in an Atlanta bank and upon this statement he agreed to endorse it.
 The check was for s25. and was drawn on the Neal Loan and Banking company of Atlanta.
 The police were notified and Cheshire was apprehended at Talladega. When 1t was learned that he had been arrested there Mr. Winkler swore out the war rant, and 1t was turned over to the sheriff's office. The preliminary hearing will be held by Justice Crittenden this week.

EMMA PHILLIPS
 HAS FOOT CRUSHED
Struck by Highland Car on
 South Twentieth Street
REPUTATION NECESSARY
Was Trying to Avoid Vehicles in Cross ing the Street and Stepped Direct Iy in Front of Southbound
 Electric Car.

A southbound Highland car ran over the left foot of little Emma Phillips. the s-year-old daughter of officer and Mrs. T. J. Phillips yesterday morning about s:45 o'clock. necessitating the amputation of the foot just above the toes.
 The accident occurred on South Twen- tieth street between avenues D and E. The child was going from her home at 1909 Avenue D to the meat market at the corner of Avenue E and Twentieth street. In crossing the street she at tempted to get out of the way of some vehicles and stepped on the track In front of the car. Motorman Edward Burdette was not running the car very fast and was able to stop in eight feet. but the wheel passed over the little girls toes She had seen the car and was attempt ing to get off the track, but could not quite get out of the way.
 The accident was witnessed by N. L. Miller, MT. Leeman. the proprietor of the Avenue F meat market, Lewis Town ly, the son of L. A. Townly. and others.
 Miss Phillips was taken to Hillman hos pital, where the wound was temporarily dressed, but as the hospital is not yet ready for the performance of an opera tion, she was carried to the Davis in- firmary. The amputation was performed by pr. J. c. LeGrande, surgeon for the Birmingham Railway. Light and Power company. and Dr. Edward Drennen, the Phillips family physician.
 She stood the operation well and was removed to her home yesterday after noon. Last night she complained some what of the pain, but was resting as we'll as could be expected.
