THIS WEEKS PAPER-sOME RANDOM COM
MENT.
MENT.

Harry Farmer voices anew this week our old
time warning against trashy periodicals-loW
grade story papers, New England sample copy
monthlies, etc. The best way to protect ones
children against bad literature is to provide
enough good literature-just as the surest way
to protect them against bad company is to put
them into touch with good company. If a child
once develops a taste for frst=class books ana
papers, he is not likely to waste time on these
trashy mixtures of crime and romance.
Our Nash correspondent does not overestimate
the Importance of the forward movements III
agriculture in North Carolina-good country
schools, good roads, rural mail delivery, rural tel
ephones, etc. These will add more to the pros
perlty of our agriculture in the next ten years
than we have yet dreamed of. The good roads
movement needs the Brownlow Bill to send II
forward by leaps and bounds, and the best prog
ress cannot be made until we get a sub Alliance
or other farmers club in every school district.

CURRENT EVENTS: THE DRIFT OF THINGS AS
WE SEE 1T.
WE SEE 1T.

There has not been much news these last ten
days. People have not yet ceased talking of the
terrible disasters in Kansas, Oregon, st. Louis,
Gainesville, Ga, and Spartanburg, S. O., but pub
lie affairs now have a smaller place in conversation
than the crops and the weather. And the weather
this year-here in North Carolina at least-has
been rather notable. We had a winter without
snow and with little very cold weather; there was
less wind in March than we have had in any other
March for several years; April was unusually cool
and wet; May was hot and dry, and thus far there
have been fewer really hot days in June than we
had in May.

The Postoffice Scandals.

The P~OstOffice Department scandal now smells
to high Heaven, and each new line of i~nvestiga-
ton adds to the general foulness. 1t looks as if
Perry S. Heath, formerly first assistant Post
master-General but now one of the campaign
managers for the Republican National Commit
tee, might give some valuable information as to
the Irregularities, but it is generally believed that
his political influence will shield him from inves-
tigation.
The only gratifying piece of news that has
come from the Department for some weeks came
last Friday in the shape of a denial of the widely
circulated rumor that the Machen frauds would
cripple the rural free delivery service. The fol
lowing Washington dispatch may be accepted as
authoritative:
"The Postofice Department has resumed the
establishment of rural free delivery routes, which
were held up on account of the deficit in the APP
preparation for that service, and a large number
of routes will be put into operation on July /,
the beginning of the new fiscal year. The policy
of the Department hereafter will be to establish
routes as rapidly as possible, consistent with the
best interests of the service and economic adj
ministration. The rule requiring 100 families
on the route, in order to secure the service, prob
ably will be more strictly adhered to and fewer
exceptions made"

A THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK.

How much lies in Laughter: the cipher-key,
wherewith we decipher the whole man! Some
men wear an everlasting barren shipper; in the
smile of others lies a cold glitter as of ice: the
fewest are able to laugh, what can be called
laughing, but only sniff and litter and Singer
from the throat ~outwards; or at best produce
some whiting husky cachinnation, as if they
were laughing through wool: of none such comes
good. The man who cannot laugh is not only
fit for treasons, stratagems and spoils; but his
whole life is already a treason and a stratagem.-
From Carlyle's "Sartor Resartus."

ABOUT CONVERSATIONAL STOCK FooD

ABOUT CONGREGATIONAL STOCK FOND
A Nash County reader sent us an inonirv g.
weeks ago as to the value of the international
Stock Food, now so widely advertised in aor;crI
tural papers and which is offered for sale bv 60
many North Carolina merchants. We referred
our correspondent to the following statement inst
sent out by the Raleigh correspondent Of tho
Charlotte Observers
Commissions of Agriculture Patterson has
letters regarding the international Stock Feedino
Company, which is advertising and selling al
sorts of feeds, medicines, etc. He says in the
plainest terms that it is a humbug, not in the
composition of, the ingredient of it's goods, but
because the price of the latter are put so high. A
bulletin of the Agricultural Department makes
a very full exposure, saying the company sells
stuff at $3.50 a ton, which has about the feeding
value of wheat bran and is composed of the lat
ter mainly, with some salt, and perhaps herbs to
make the composition TASTE"
Persons desiring to look up the analysis made
by the State Department of Agriculture will find
it in the January, 1908, Bulletin.
We have also before us a severe denunciation
of this stock food company by Mr.. J. D. Hodges,
of Augusta, N. G. We learn that Mr.. Hodges is
a large farmer; he is also Davies county super
intendent of schools. We reprint the milder part
of his letter herewith:
"Beguiled by the beautifully engraved circulars
of the international Stock Food Company, Min
~neapolis, Mimi, in which extraordinary claims
for this food is made, I purchased a few hundred
pounds of their food, in unbroken packages. I
fed it carefully according to- printed directions,
for three months. Not being able to detect the
slightest benefit from it, I sent a specimen to the
North Carolina Department of Agriculture for
analysis. The analysis, as reported by the author
tiles at the Department of Agriculture, showed
the food to be composed mainly of wheat bran,
linseed meal, charcoal and some aromatic sub
stance, and that the feeding value was about that
of wheat bran.
This company, the International Stock Food
Company, Minneapolis, Mimi, claims to have
received a medal at the Paris Exposition in 1900.
Their widely circulated circulars has a printed
cut of this medal. And yet the authorities at
Washington say that no medal or any sort of
recognition was awarded to this company at the
Paris Exposition"
In Iowa Experiment Station tests, cattle fed
International Stock Food yielded a smaller profit
than cattle without it. Further comment is I'M
necessary.

The Servian Revolution.

An account of the aftermath of the Servian
coup d'etat, with some s~idelights on the affair
itself, may be of interest to some readers who
have been astonished that such a crime finds a
place in twentieth century history. 1t appears
that there have been two ruling families in Servia
for about a century now, each contesting for the
mastery with the other. The new sovereign with
the unspeakable name represents one of these
families, the dead King the other. King Alexan-
der does not appear to have had common sense;
and neither he nor his low-born queen had common

morality. This Draga seems to have been in the
employ of Russia and at the time of her death
was scheming to have her unworthy brother recog-
nized as heir-apparent to the throne.
The effort to establish a republic did not de-
velop formidable strength last week. and Prince
Karageorgevitch has been formally recognized as
King. 1t is believed, however, that he will be a
helpless tool in the hands of the powerful cabal
of army officers who planned and executed the
regicide. Russia has formally demanded the
punishment of those responsible for Alexander's
death, but whether she will push this demand
remains to be seen.
