Sharpers Everywhere.

The Roanoke howan Times tells
how some lightning rod men have
been "swamping" the people around
Rich Square, and writes a word of
caution, saying to the people, "Be-
ware what you sign" Mr.. W. E.
Spivey was told by the lightning rod
man that it would cost only $40 or
$23 to put rods on his house, but in
the final settlement it cost $685.. MI.
B. F. Taylor was told that it would
cost $21 to put rods on his house,
but when settlement was made the
figures had crawled up to $58. The
game is played thus: An advance
agent goes ahead and makes esti-
mates, saying it will be about so and
so, at the same time getting the man
who is buying the lightning rod to
sign a contract at so much per foot.
Later the wagon m along and
the manipulators put on the rods,
finishing up with about twice as many
feet as the advance agent and con-
tractor estimated. So the game is
to get a contract at SO much per foot
and then collect for about twice as
much as was estimated for. The edi-
tor of the Commonwealth "ponied
up" to the tune of $50 some years ago
under the same kind of contract, but
the advance agent afterwards tried
to commit suicide and then died, we
believe; so we have nothing to say of
him now.

Wide Tires.

The following is a clipping from
the report of the Secretary of the
North Carolina Good Roads Associa-
ton at a recent meeting of the Elk
ecutive Committee held at Raleigh:
The subject hat will do more to
solve the good roads problem in
North Carolina at the present time
is that of using wide tires on We
.hicles, especially heavy wagons; and
if this Association can advise a
means for promoting their use, it
will accomplish a practical good. The
most feasible plan it is thought is to
induce some large dealer or dealers
in wagons to equip their vehicles with
wide tires and keep a supply of these
tires and necessary fixtures in stock
so that a farmer or user of a wagon
can obtain the material near at home.
The greatest draw back to the use of
wide tires heretofore has been the
fact that they could not be secured
without sending a long distance, and

FALL AS PAINTING M
Good Reasons Why Buildings Should be
Painted in the Fall.

The growing Importance of the au-
tumn months as a house painting
season is worthy of note. Not many
years since but few persons thought
of painting in the fall; to-day, it is
a recognized painting season. The
advantages it affords are practical
and the wonder is hat they were
not long ago appreciated.
Paint dealers in this locality state
that the fall paint trade this year
will be a large factor in their bust
ness. The property owners each year
r looking with increasing favor up
on the season for painting.
Paint men generally, consider the
fall very natural painting time. The
weather conditions are especially ia
vorable to good painting. There is
less likelihood of rain and one
doesn't have to contend with the
notwithstanding the paint to peel,
check of crack-that is. usually in a
building after the spring rains.
Then, toe, if a house needs painting,
it certainly ought to be painted as a
protection against the inclement
winter weather. Another advantage
of the fall season is that there are
no gnats or fies-the bane of spring
painting-to stick to the fresh paint.
1t pays to paint just as soon as a
building needs it, for the longer it is
put off, the more it will cost to get
the right sort of job. This proves
particularly true in the fall season.
Again, property owners, especial
ly in agricultural districts, have
time after harvest to give personal
attention to the improvements of
their property
Altogether the boom in fall
painting is a healthy sign of the
times. It is an awakening to natural
advantages.

Reduction of Tobacco Acreage as a
Remedy for Low Prices.
Editor of The Progressive Farmer:

The low price of tobacco is the
cause of many sad faces on the farm
inst at this time. No one seems to
know Just what to do and I unhes-
itatingly admit that I am ignorant
of a remedy for the existing evil.
I see many plans suggested in the
papers, and the people seem to be a
unit in saying that the farmers
should organize. No doubt all will
agree that organization will be a
wise step for our farmers to make.
Now, can the farmers be organ
lied? 1 think they can, provided a
plan be presented to them that will
be without cost. Money is very
scarce with a majority of them, and
no doubt they will hesitate before at
tempting anything that will cost
money.
By your permission, I wish to sug-
gest a plan, through your columns,
that is without cost and no doubt
will accomplish much good for our
farmers.
What l suggest is for the tobacco
growing farmers to reduce their
acreage fifty per cent. Possibly a
majority of the farmers will say that
a good plan provided all of them
would do so. I think if an effort is
made on the part of the leaders we
could get enough of our tobacco
growers to reduce their crops half
to have the desired effect. Let every
tobacco growing county in the State
call a meeting making it as enthu-
siastic as possible. Then draw a
pledge, making it as binding as the
English language can well make it.
Of course, l mean for this pledge
to be for a fifty per cent reduction
in acreage. A committee can be
appointed for each township who
will present this pledge to every man
who controls a tobacco farm. The
committees should be energetic, in
fuential men, who may influence his
fe~llow-farmers that may offer objec-
tions to such a plan. The committee
appointed should take the name of
all who may refuse to sign such a
pledge as well as those who may sign
1t. Then if three-fourths of all the
tobacco growers throughout the to-
baccO growing section sign, the
pledge is binding. Unless three
fourths sign it is to be null and void
and every man will be at liberty to
to plant a crop as he likes without
breaking a pledge.
If the plan is given a trial in
North Carolina we may be able to
get our sister States to unite with
us. We will all agree that the to-
bacco growers of the Carolinas and
Virginia can fix the price of leaf
tobacco if they will. It will cost
nothing to attempt such a plan, and
L believe if half the amount of to-
bacco be made we will realize more
money for it than if we continue to
grow the same quantity. By reduc-
