toned speed when on the road-regard,

consequence.

4. Beware of irregular feeding: give
no grain when your horse is back after
some hard work, don't practice con
slant bite of hay in his rack or man

Wholesale Food AduIterati0n.


hdlelPu fOSU-
The Bulletin of the North Carolina
Board of Health has Il very interest
ing article on the adulteratiOn of
foods and medicines which contains
some really startling information.
Out of 33 samples of beers and other
alcoholic drinks 81 were adulterated,
or II per cent. OF canned tomatoes
out of 80 specimens 30 were adul-
terated; ofcatsups OF 30 samples only
one was not adulterated; non-alco-
holic summer drinks, out of 33
samples 24 were adulterated, of vine
gar 13 We're adulterated out of %
samples; of canned corn ~ adulter-
ated out of 20 samples, and of canned
garden peas 30 adulterated out of
30 samples. Out of q total Of 454
samples of human foods no less than
256 or Sc per cent, were adulterated.
This was in 1900.
The fine effect of the pure food law
enacted by North Carolina is shown
that in the examination of food pro-
ducts for 1902 out of 500 samples
only 81 were found adulterated. Of
canned fruits and vegetables only Is
samples were adulterated out of 11S
taken but 26 out of SO nOn-alcoholic
summer drinks were adulterated and
8 out of II of phosphates, malts,
elders and bitters; 10 out OF II pre-
pared mustards and salad dressing
while OF % samples of tomato catsup
and sauces, every one was adulter-
ated. In the matter OF inspection of
drugs nothing has yet been attempted
in North Carolina. Massachusetts
has taken the lead In this line, and
the showing made is simply horrible

adulterated.

Importance of the Editorial Columns.
Charity and Children.


We rejoice to see so many of our
weekly an semi-weekly newspapers
devOting more time and attention to
their editorial columns. The false
notion was once seriously advocated
that the local news is the thing for q
country paper to emphasize-such
matter, for instance, as the infOrma-
ton that Mr.: John Brown took a
trip to Charlotte last week, or Mr..
Alexander Mel cod visited his mother
in-law last Sunday; but the papers
which intelligently and fOrcefully dis
cuss the current questions of the day
and give the people some real light
are those which are coming to the
front. AS proof of this proposition
we can name a half-dOzen country
newspapers in North Carolina which
stand for more and command more
respect than forty sheets that look
after the movements of the passing
throng and fill up their editorial
Columns with letters from Washing
ton or Raleigh or-worse yet-sur-
render to the local scribes who crack
mysterious Jokes at each other and
become gay over things the general
public cannot understand There is
exactly as much reason why Il coun-
try editor can think straight and
strong as the city editor, and his
views may be even more valuable for
he is nearer to the plain people. And
some of our very best and clearest
thinkers are in our weekly newspaper
offices.

Demand for Cotton Root Bark.

Raleigh, N. c., March 80, 1904.
To the Cotton Growers of North Car
olina:
The undersigned has just received
q note from the editor of a drug
trade journal asking if any cotton
root bark is to be obtained in this
State. The prerent wholesale price
OF cotton-rOot bark in New York is
from Is cents to 20 cents per pound.
1t is very strange that cotton
growers with idle hands during the
winter months will permit this most
valuable part OF the crop to waste in
the fields and remain as an encum-
brance to the succeeding crop.
1t is likely that in most cotton sec
tions the roots now in the field are
still salable and a very good thing
can be made out of them while wait
ing for the soil to dry. Those who
wish to gather the root-bark should
first send to the undersigned a sample
of one pound of fresh root-bark in
order to have its quality tested. For
all the good bark offered the under
signed will agree to find sale.
AS the present high prices may not
continue long those who wish to sell
should act promptly.
Samples may be sent by mail at
rate OF s cents per pound postage.

Keeping a Good Name.
Scotland Neck Commonwealth.

Scotland Neck Commonwealth.
The highest authority that ever
directed the course of man in this
world says that "a good name is
rather to be chosen than great
riches" And the choosing of a good
name surely does not mean much
unless that name is maintained
cherished as the highest possession
of life.
1t isnot possible, perhaps, forevery
one to have riches or fame, but it is
possible for every one to have good
name, and having it once to keep it.
These observations apply to COM
munities as well as to individuals and
are just as obligatory on the people
who make up a community as upon
the individuals themselves.
The good name of family ought
to be carefully guarded by every
member, for if the name of one member
suffers the name of every other men,
Der will be affected more or less.
