Nov Is The Time.

If advertising ever psys-and
only Ignorance denies that it does
it ought to pay more during the
dull" months between the holl-
days and spring than at any 9th
er season. It strikes us that this
is the time for a live merchant to
get busy" And yet the general
run of business men in this part
of the state usually lop: off thei
advertising and practically give
up to the demon of dull times,
instead of redoubling their ad-
vertising efforts to win trade.
Naturally this is a subject in
which we are selfishly interested,
but it is one in which the wise
business man will readily e thai
he also is far more deeply inter
ested than We are. He has more
at stake; he stands to make more.
Advertising pays. Every printed
word about O man or his business
aids in shaping his bank account
and his destiny. The range of re.
suits is wide; the range of posi-
bilities boundIess. On this sub.
jsct one of the Oldest advertising
agents in the country says:
1T would be s. foolish man il.
deed who would cut off his fire Ill
surance when q conhagratioI
doomed upon the horizon, CT who
considered cancelling his life in
surance when his health was poor
For exactly the same reason NJ

A STRANGE CASE.
eabarrus Bride Disappears Soon After Mar
riage and Not Heard From Until After Death.

riage and Not Heard From Until After Death.
Mrs. Lottie Barnhardt, of No. 5
township, was in Concord yester-
day, and gave us the particulars
Of q strange case, involving the
disappearance and recent death Of
her dsughter-in-law, the wife of
Rufus J Barnhardt.
On February 81, 1905, Mr..
Barndardt was married to Miss
Lucy Holdbrooks, of Lincolnton,
who was then 10 years of age.
Miss Holdbrooks was a grand
niece of Mrs. Lottie Barnhardt,
and came here from Lincolnton
to live with her. Three weeks
after her marriage she told her
husband that she wanted to go to
her old home to get her clothes
and other things, aud would re-
turn in a few days. Nothing fur
Their was heard from her, although
diligent effort was made to discov-
er her whereabouts.
On October 26, last, M. l.. Par
ker. of Faith, wrote Mr.. Barnhardt
a letter saying his wife was at his
home at the point of death, and
if he wanted to SEQ her alive he
must come at once. This letter
did not reach Mr.. Barnhardt until
last week, overtwo months after
it was written, being delayed IN
transit in some unknown way.
Mr.. Barnhardt at once got A. D.
Wilson to 60 to Faith to investl-
gate the matter. Mr. Wilson found
that Mrs. Barnhardt had died
two days after Mr.. Parker wrote
the letter, or on October %, 1907.
It seems that Mrs. Barnhardt
had been living at. Faith for some
time under an assumed name.
She made her hame at, Mr.. Par
ker's, and did not reveal her iden-
tity to any one until she did 80 to
he. pastor two days before her
death. DR.. A. B. Goodman at
tended her in her last illness and
did everything possible for her.
Truth is indeed stranger than
fction.-Concord Times.

FENCE POSTS MADE DURABLE.
Woods Given Sixteen Years. Additional Ser
Vice BY Preservation Treatment.

Fence posts of many kinds OF
cheap wood which ordinarily
would soon decay if set in the
ground can be made to last for
twenty years by a simple treat
ment with creosote, Most of the
so-callad inferior" woods are
we'll adapted to the treatment,
and this is specially true of cot
tonwood, aspen, willow, sycamore,
low-grade pine, and some of the
gu 3 s. When properly treated,
these woods outlast untreated
cedar and oak, which are becom-
ing too much in demand for other
uses to allow of their meeting the
demand.for fence posts.
Impregnation with creosete has
been greatly cheapened by the
''open tank" which can be in
stalled at a cost of from $50 to
$45, or much less if an old boiler
Is used. A tank with a bottom IL
square feet in area will suffice for
treating 40 or so 6-inch posts a
day. OF double this number when
two runs per day can be made.
Tho absorption of oreosote per
post is about as follows: Eucalyp-
tus, one-tenth gallon; willow,
two-tenths gallon sassafras, ash.
hickory, red oak, elm, and maple,
four-tenths Douglas fir, quacking
aspen, and black walnut, six
tenths gallon; sycamore, cotton
wood, and %lodgepole pine, seven
tenths gallon. The price of
creosote is about 10 cents per gal
lon Oh the East and Middle West,
16 cents per gallon on the Pacific
coast, and 81 cents per gallon in
the Rocky Mountain States. TIE
cost of treating a post will there
fore vary from 4 to Is cents.
Properly treated, it should give
service for at least twenty years,
Experiments of the Forset Ser
vice show that with peseryative
treatment the durability of lodge
pole pine in Idaho is increased
sixteen years. The cosd of creo-
sote is there relatively high, yet
by treating posts there is a saving,
with interest at 6 per cent, of 2
cents per post yearly, More i'm
portant than the saving, however,
is the fact that through p%reserva-
tive treatment other woods are
fitted to take the place of cedar,
of which the supply is rapidly ex-
hausted. A detailed description
of experiments in preserving fence
posts, together with practical sug-
gestions for treating them on a
commercial scale, are contained
in Circular III of the Forest Ser
vice. This publication can be oh.
tanned upon application to the
Forester at Washington.

New Post Office Rules.

The postmaster ganeral has is
sued to publishers of newspapers
Order No. 907 containing amend
ments to the postal laws and reg
ulations applicable to second-class
matter effective Jan. 1, 1908:
Under the new regulations a
newspaper is held to be a "publi-
cation regularly issued at stated
intervals less frequently than
weekly and having the character
istics of sceond-class matter pre-
scribed by statute"
Concerning subscriptions the
rules are very strict. The section
relating thereto reads as follows:
ga reasonable time will be al
lowed publishers to secure renew
ais of subscriptions, but unless
So subscriptions r expressly renew
ed after the term for which they
are paid, within the following
periods:
"Dailies, within three months;
tri-weeklies, within three months;
semi-weeklies, within nile
mouths; weeklies, within II
year; semi-weeklies, within three
months; monthlles, within four
months; bi-monthlies, within six
months, quarterlies, within six
months, they shall not be
counted in the legitimate list of
subscribers, and copies mailed Oh
account thereof shall not be ac-
copied for mailing at the second
class postage rate of one cent for
each four ounces or fraction there
If prepaid by stamps affixed.
The right of a publisher to extend
credit for subscriptions to his
publication is not denied or ques-
toned, but his compliance or nom
compliance with this regulation
will be taken into consideration
III determining whether the publ
cation is entitled to transmission
1T the second-class postage rates.
The section governing the mall
rg of sample copies limits the
lumber to be sent out under the
e-cent-a,poupd rate to 10 per
cent of the total weight of copies
mailed to subscribers during the
year.
Ia regard to the above, H. B.
Warner, editor of the Lexington
Dispatch and President of the
National Editorial Association,
went to Washington to confer
with Postmaster General Won
Meyer on the subject. Mr.. Var
ner succeeded in having the law
deferred until April 1st, 1908,
after which time it will 60 into

THE JUNIORS NEXT MONTH,
The State Council Of the Jr. 0. U. A. NJ.
Will be Held in. Winston In February.

Will be Held in. Winston In February.
About three hundred Juniors,
says the Sentinel, are expected to
attend the annual meeting of the
state council Junior Order United
American Mechanics, which will
convene IN Winston-Salem Feb
ruary 18th for a two or three DAYS
session.
The business sessions will prob
ably be held in the Palm Room at
Zinzendorf Hotel. This, however,
has NOS been definitely determined
by the local committeeon arrange
ment.
The Juniors have the largest
membership and the order is per-
haps the wealthiest secret order
i'll the state. The state council
has about $40, 1000 in it's treasury.
In addition, many Of the 200
councils own their own halls and
have bank accounts.
From an interview with Score
tary S F. Vance it was learned
that there are over 16, 500 Juniors
in the state. During the past
year about twenty subordinate
councils have been instituted.
"While this number Is not 30
large, the rapid growth of the Or
der is shown IN the rapid increase
i'll membership of the old coun-
%cils," said Secretary Vance, who
stated that the reports coming in
we're very gratifying. Some of
the councils have doubled their
membership during the past year.
Mr. Vance has no official figures
yet. but he estimates q total gain
Of 1000 Numbers in the state dur
ing 1907.
The local committee is prepar-
ing to give the visitors royal en-
tertainment during their stay in
Winston-Salem. The programme
has not been arranged yet, though
it is safe to say that a big banquet
will be rendered the state council.
There is q movement to elect
John Reynolds, of Southside
council, state vice-councilor at
the meeting next month. Mr..
Reynolds is a most capable and
enthusiastic member Of the order
ard local Juniors ase unanimous
for him.
Of the Lexington Council the
Dispatch says: Mossrs. A. L.
Crissman. J. W. Lindsay and S.
L. Owen are delegates from the
Lexington coucil. The council
here now has PIT members and in
it's big treasury there Is three
thousand, one hundred and
eighty-seven dollars and eighty.
two cents.
In connection with the above 1t
might be interesting to the Juniors
in Salisbury and Rowan county
to note that there are ten councils
in this county distributed as fol-
lows: Three in Salisbury, one at
China Grove, one at Spencer, one
at Rockwell, one at Faith, one at
Crescent, one at Union Church,
and one at Gold Hill, all in very
good condition and many report
decided increase in their member
ship. If the councils at Cleve-
land and Woodleaf had not failed
Rowan would most likely be the
banner county in the State. AT
the last report Rowan had 934
members but now has considera.
bly, over 1000. Guilford leads
with II councils and at the last
report had 1878 members. If
the Juniors of Rowan would get a
move on them they could easily
take the lead.
In addition to the 49, SOC
Juniors in the State there are &C
councils and over 1900 members
OF the Daughters of Liberty, al
auxiliary of the Juniors. The
Daughters of Liberty will meet III

The Knights of Columbus of Salt

GERS for the ensuing year with BAN
quet at the council chamber of the
lodge in the Jennings block Tuesday
evening. One hundred members of the
local council and several members of
other councils attended the installation
ceremony. District Deputy Supreme
knight J. B. CoSgriff and his staff in
stalled the officers who were recently
elected. They were: Thomas j.
O'Brien, grand knight; Daniel ]. Lara
mic, deputy grand knight: F. j. Car
ten, chancellor; c. A. Locke, financial
secretary; j. r. Canning, recorder; ].
2. Tanning, lecturer; DR.. p e. Erick-
son, warden; John Griffin, treasurer;
Philip Finnegan, advocate Oswald
Veltz, inside guard; James Kelly, out
side guard; P. H. Cannon, trustee
Following the installation ceremony
Past Grand Knight James Killeen was
presented with a beautiful ring, en-
blematic of the first three degrees of
the order. The presentation on behalf
of the council was made by Advocate
Philip Finnegan.
After the banquet had been served
Lecturer ]. P. Tanning presided at an
informal program of talks and music.
All of the newly elected and the out
going officers made short speeches. A
delightful address was delivered by the
Rev. Father E. P. Gueymard of New
Orleans.
The knights had very large and en-
thusiastic meeting. They expect in the
near future to initiate a large class in
the first, second and third degrees. All
good Catholic men should become
knights of Columbus, as the members
are DESTROYS of upbuilding the council
and increasing the membership to 500.
The Knights of Columbus is a fine or
der, and being the only Catholic or
ganization in Salt Lake. it should be
factor in the Community.
