No Feed to Winter Cattle in Watauga,
Watauga Democrat.

Never, 81 far back as we can rec
ollect, have there been SO many cat
tie for sale in the mountain counties
as there are just now, and the price
is but little consideration-almOst
any old price takes them. Heavy,
fat cows have sold recently within
the corporate limits of Boone for
two cents gross, when ordinarily the
same cattle would have brought
8 l { cents, aud milk cattle are al
most dreg on the market. There
is, of course, a reason for the drop
in cattle-not political, either. The
scarcity of feed is responsible for
this great slump, and people are
bound to sell every hoof they can
spare. The loss of the fodder crop,
to many of our email farmers, will
mean great deal-in fact it renders
some of them unable to winter their
cattle.

First Closing OF a Pension List.
Wilmington Messenger.

For the first time in her history
the United States has closed one OF
her many pension accounts, that is
of widows and veterans of the Rev
dictionary war. The last Revolu-
tiOnary soldiers widow drawing a
pension died in Vermont few days
ago, aged 90 years. She was the
widow of Noah Damon who was rs
years old when she, at the age of %
years, married him.
Soon after the Revolutionary war
closed young women went into the
marriage speculation, marrying old
pensioners so they could secure life
; pension after the death of their hus'
bands, and many young people al
over the land have carried on this
species of marriage speculation after
every war our country has had. The
Pension office records showed last
June that there were still living CSC
pensioned widows of soldiers of the
war of 1912; Of the Indians war:
1857 widows, while there were only
2,173 surviving soldieas of those
wars; of the war with Mexico, 7,49e
widows, with only 1884 pensioned
soldiers.
While the Pension bureau ha:
closed the pension list of widows OF
Revolutionary war soldiers, it has
not closed that of the daughters
There are three living who are
drawing pensions by special acts OF
Congress. AS the youngest of THESE
is So years old, it is most likely thai
there will soon be the second closing
of a pension list by our government

SUBSCRIPTION RATEs.
nrn1x WORK NOW FOR 1905.


The democrats claim they made
great gains in their vote in this State
this year and that the Republicans
lost votes. Rut let's see what are
the facts The democrats did not
poll as large majority as they did
even two years ago. Just what the
democratic majority is cannot be
stated accurately until the official
returns are canv6ssed and announced,
but there Is no doubt but that the
figures will show that their majority
is not as large as two, four or six
years ago. The Industrial News
points out the fact that the past
three elections have each shown a
democratic loss and Republican
gain; that Governor Glenn, though
elected, received 49, 900 votes less
than candidate Watson received,
though he was defeated, in 1896 !;
and about $1,000 votes less than
Governor Aycock received in 1900.
This shows that the tide Is not run
ming toward democracy, n0tWith-
standing the fact that the democratic
papers and politicians put up more
vigorous fight this year than in any
campaign since 1900, when they
used the drunken redshirters, armed
with winchesters, in addition TO the
ballot box thief, to put them again
in power in this State.
The democrats were not willing
to take their own medicine this year,
in other words, they were not will
ing to abide by their own laws. We
are informed that in Duplin and in
many other Counties men were voted
who had not paid their poll tax,
while Republicans who had not paid
their poll tax were not allowed to
vote. Two years from now our Re-
publican friends should see that no
democrat votes who is liable to q
poll tax and has not paid same.
And if he persists in voting then he
should be prosecuted, which will
break up their debauchery of the
ballot. Now is the time to begin
work for the campaign two years
from now. The only way for mi.
nority party to become a majority
party is to conduct a campaign OF
education between campaigns. In
1892 the prospects were not as bright
= as they are today, but we began the
campaign then for 1894 with the re-
suit that we carried the State in
1894 by an overwhelming majority
If We begin work now for the cam

cans will sweep the State In 1908

Baby Born in Watauga County With Tw'
Perfect Heads and Perfect Neck.
Watauga Democrat

atauga DeuocFat
In the home of Will Davis, who
lives In Beech Mountain township,
on the night of November 5th, was
born boy baby with two heads,
each a perfect head with perfect
necks, one from each shoulder. The
baby lived about twenty minutes,
each head gasping for breath and
struggling alike and then died. 1t
weighed six and half pounds. 1t
was the writer's privilege to see this
baby and can verify the truth of
this narrative. The father and
mother of the unfortunate are both
young, the mother about p, the
father q little older. One other
child has been born to this union.
Will Davis is a son of Andy Davis,
a grandson of Joe Davis, who is
known by many in this county. We
learn big sum of money was Of

doctors but was refused, and the lit
