Running Their Business.
Says an exchage:

Says an eXchage:
A Randolph paper reports the fol-
lowing: The other day a local mer-
chant happened to see a farmer re-
ceiving some goods at freight office
at the depot, and noticed that they
came from certain mail order house.
He noticed that the goods were right
in his line and same he has carried
in his store for years. He eimmediately
approacad the farmer and said: II
could have sold you every article
you have there for less money than
you paid the mail order house and
saved you freight besides" "Then,
why didn't you say so?" answered
the farmer. 81 have taken two
county papers for year and have
never seen a line about you selling
the goods. The Mail Order House
sent advertising matter asking for
my trade and they got it. lfyou have
any bargains why don't you put
them in the paper so we can see
what they are?''
That ended the argument and the
merchant went to corral other non
advertising merchants and explained
to them that the mail order house
was running their business.
Moral. The merchant who adver-
tises gets the cream Of the land.

Uses of Electricity.
Kinston Free Press

Alu5UOu + IcC lcpS.
Electricity is a commonplace now
a-days. Afew years agoit was one OF
the wonders OF creation. Very little
was known OF the mysterious force,
but today it can be economically
employed to perform the drudgery OF
housework, to light and heat our
buildings or keep them cool, light our
streets, turn the wheels of industry
and carry our messages.
The General Electric Company an
nounces that it has put on the mar
ket sixty-seven different kinds ofhea-
ting devices including cigar lighters,
milk warmers, corn peppers, shaving
mugs, heating pads, radiators, fat
irons, brolers, coffee and tea percola-
tors, chafing dishes, etc. Electricity
is now made to do most of the work
in the home. Small motors are used
to run the sewing machines, floor
sweepers and polishers, washing ma
chimes, buffers, and grinders, bread
mixers, ash sitter, meat choppers,
fans, etc.
One of the conveniences of the use
of the electric current is found in its
adaptability for cooking purposes.
The secret of electrical cooking lies in
the fact that none Of the heat is was
ted-all of it is employed in cooking
the foods Or heating the liquids.
The very best estimates show that
fully seven-tenths of the heat from
an ordinary range is wasted. Three
tenths are used to cook the food and
the rest goes up the chimney or
makes the kitchen uncomfortable.
Sometimes the timid housewife is
afraid of getting a shock. There is
not the slightest danger. The appli-
ances are as simple and safe as an
electric light. The wires are insu-
lated and may be handled with i'm
punity. Electric utensils are far
easier to operate than coal stove,
and many times as safe as agasoline
stove or alcohol chatting dish. They
neither catch fire nor explode. No
one thinks of disputing the fact that
electricity will be an everyday neces-
sity in a few years.
A few utensils, a few pennies
worth of current, and the meal can
be prepared by electricity-prepared
cleanly, quickly, without dirt, odor,
or that worst of household evils, an
overheated kitchin.

Our Swamp Lands.
New York Evening Post.

As result of the operations which
are conducted under authority OF the
Geological Survey eighty new towns
have been established, 100 miles of
branch railroads have been con-
structed, and 10000 people have ta-
ken up their residence in the desert.
To pave the way for these home seek
ers the Government had dug 1867
miles of canals-nearly the distance
from Washington to Omaha. Some
of these canals carry whole rivers,
like the Truckee river in Nevada
and the North Platte river is Wyo-
ming.
The Literary Digest in commenting
on the achievements of national irri-
cation shows that the eastern, mid
die and southern states although not
containing arid lands for irrigation,
have within their borders approx
mately 5O,OOO,OOO acres of swamp
lands which may be reclaimed by
drainage, thus adding 5000, ,O0O,-
900 to the increased value Of the
lands. This reclaimed land, it is es-
timated, would increase the annual
crop values more than 81, 500, ,O0O,-
900 and if divided into forty acre
farms, might supply homes for p
500, 600 families or fully 12,OOO:-
600 people.
These swamps and overflowed
lands are principally in Arkansas,
Indiana, Minnesota, Wisconsin, New
Jersey, North Carolina, South Caro-
lima, Georgia and Florida, Nature
has kept them in hiding, as it were
until the pressure of civilization
should demand the opening up OF
wider and ever wider areas to the in
dustrial conquest of man. These
lands are rich store houses, lying near
great markets and in the midst Of
areas that are becoming more thickly
settled each year.
| Wonders have resulted from our
national irrigation efforts; but it
would seem that still greater posi-
bilities are in store for the nation
where it adopts the policy of draining
swamp lands and converting them
into fit habitations for a great army
of fworkers. Certainly it's time for the
federal government to turn its atten-
tion to this great source OF develop
ment. With our waterways utilized
to their fullest capacity, and our
swamp lands made habitable there
is no telling what we may add to
the material wealth of the nation.

support Mr.. Roosevelt, or to forbear
denunciation of his contempt for con-
stitutional guarantees, would be to
invite the prevalence of that doctrine
and the mischievous application OF
it to unsettiement of those problems
which the South has succeeded in
solving simply and solely because of
the rights reserved to the States by
the Constitution as against combined
executive and legislative departments
OF the Federal government.
The country is thoroughly awak-
ened to the danger OF corporate tyr
any. but it needs awakening, also,
to the instant peril of Federal usurp-
alton and official despotism as ex-
pounded and practical By President
Roosevelt and his satellites. Ii to
such an awakening this paper can
contribute, it will glory in the act.
To submit to the schemes of a revo-
lutionary cabal is not the only way
to achieve escape from Corporate
abuses. If it were, the case OF the
American people would be desperate
indeed.
