To Change Time of Taxes.

A movement is on foot origin
ating at Appleton, to ask tor
legislation that will provide for
the changing OF the time OF the
annual tax collection from De
cember to July. 1t is argued
that on account of the increased
cost of living in the winter over
the summer, taxpayers will be
better able to meet their taxes IN
Tulv than IN December. Also, 1t
is believed that more money will
be spent at holiday time if the
taxes are not due until July.

BREAD. CHEESE, KISSES.

Bread and cheese and kisses con
stitute the three essentials for real
happiness. The woman who omits
the two that appeal to a mans appe-
tite is as unwise as she who forgets
that the kisses are the desert. A man
cannot live on bread alone-or on
kisses. That was the mistake that
Mrs. Frank M~alchoir, of New Jersey,
made. Her husband is now suing for
divorce because when he came home
OF an evening there was no supper
for him. He said: .She was arrayed
like a bride when I came home hungry

MUST SELL TOBACCO.

The committee of tobacco farmers
from Stokes, Surry and other western
counties who visited the Tobacco
Board of Trade of Winston-Salem,
urged that body to pay Il IL cents
for the tobacco. The board truly said
it wished the farmers to get as much
as possible and wOuld do all it could.
That was another way of saying it
would urge the trust TO raise the price.
The trust is dictator. Its plan is to
pay just enough price to get enough
for the needs and to take it at less
than the cost of cultivation until the
farmer is about to quit making it and
there is real danger Of criminal prose
cution. Then the price is temporarily
raised.
So far this yea the price has been
many farmers are compelled to sell.
The Danbury Reporter ays
1T is expected hat there will be a
rapid marketing of the Stokes crop
this season, on account Of the fact
that the prices Of provisions and sup
plies nave been ~abnormally high. and
those farmers who are in debt will be
forced to sell by their creditors
When the farmers whose necessities
are greatest are duly fleeced, the trust
may pay better prices so as to keep
down the fire of indignation and to
encourage farmers 10 grow them an
other crop. The trust knows farmers
in debt cannot wait. If it had an
ounce of hear or conscience it would
pay them a fair price for the product
of their years toll. ,But-With no eff
fective law, the trust can do as 1t
pleases, with nobody to help the poor
est farmers whose necessities compel
them to sell at starvation figures.

WHY SO FEW MARRIAGES.

The New York World is conduct
ing q symposium on Why so few
marriages.? Evidently that paper
does not keep up with The News and
Observers society column where it is
seen that marriages are not few in
North Carolina. 1t is only in the
crowded cities that this evil prevails.
Come to North Carolina where mar
riage flourishes as the green bay tree.
We are not yet too rich to marry.
and loving couples still have the old
idea that a woman is a help meet
instead Of What a modern man called
her, a "help-me-eat." A correspondent
of the World quotes S~chopenhauer
who thus defined it, Wharfage. a trap
set for man by nature" He also gives
this poem:
You must know, my dear boy,
That the dearly priced kiss
Which YOU snatch from the lips
OF a half-willing miss
Is Sweeter by far
Thar the legalized kisses
You give the same girl
When you've made her a-Missus.

ORIGIN OF THE "BUNGIET~' AND
THE .SONKER."

Rertie county is the home OF nan
good things and great men. 1t now
claims TO have originated the
and the "bunglet,' though it says
they were not spelled exactly as the
advocates of Webster's Blue Back
spell them in the State of Wilkes.
The claim and history of these two
d~elicacies, as set forth by the Wind
sor Ledger. runneth thus:
Brother Daniels of the News and
Observer and Brother Deal Of the
Wi1kesboro Chronicle ave been for a
month hitting at each other about
a onker' and a 'bunglet. Brother
Daniels can't get it out Of his head
that it is something to drink. Strange
what Authorizations these statewide
prohibitionsts have. No drinking
man should take such a notion. Broth
er Deal proceeds to elucidate and ex-
plain that they are both fine speci-
Of pies that obtain only in the
State Of Wilkes. Maybe he is right
about the degenerate dish Of the
mountains. They make it on those
hills out of apples. Let us give the
brethren a little bit of kitchen his
tory. In the early cOlOnia days in
Eastern North Carolina, before or
chards had grown, the potato was the
basis of pies and cuStardS. The in
Ventive house wife served it in varied
forms.
ct was before the lays of mince-
meat and plum pudding and other
Christmas dishes of this day in this
cline.
"The mainstay of every Christmas
dinner was a sliced potato pie, filled
with spices and well seasoned with
wines or other liquors.; when a gem
erous dose Of the liquid was used the
pie was sunk in Wine, or brandy
sauce. 1t became to be called a
.sunken' pie. AS it went west it was
prohibition began to get a hold and
the first pleasant house wife who
served her lord a .sunken' pie with
out the sink was met with the dis
gusting ejaculation well you have
bungled it. And when this reached
the State of Wilkes, SO accustomed
were they to the barrel, that they
called it a 'bunglet.' The real truth
is that in the good old days the sunk
en- was mighty nigh something to
drink But Of course the degenerate
%'bunglet' is far from it. Brethren, a
little 'piecology' is mighty useful. 1t
is twin sister to philology.
There is nother phase Of the dis
pute to which we simply allude.
Brother Deal doubts the existence OF
the 'Rhamkatte Rooster and the
'hoss.' Brother Daniels talks of rid
ing to WilkesbCrO to eat 'sOnker and
%bunglet.' All we have got to say is
that the man who writes the rooster
had better not get on any 'hOss' after
a dinner of IKE The fact is the

SOUNDED LIKE A CONFESSION
Deacon's Weil-Meant Attempt &c
Lead Choir Almost Broke Up
Church Services.

However regrettable 1t may be, the
ordinary church choir is not noted for
harmony, except, as may apply in
some cases, in their vocal efforts. Gen
orally, too, the much used French
saying, "cherchez la femme" will To-
cate the trouble, or the beginning of
it, at least. But then, where does
mixed organization exist in which a
woman does not take sweet delight
in setting the broth boiling once in a
while, just to see the water bubble?
It's a part of her irresistible nature
she just can't help it.
The spinster contralto had made
some remarks about the hat of the
tenors wife, and the petty ruction
that it started in the choir world on
Monday had not been smoothed over
at the close of the week, and Sunday
found the choir loft empty. The min
lister was obviously displeased, but
without comment he arose and an
nounced the opening hymn, which he
at once began reading. commencing
II love to steal while away" Sc
to the absent choir.
Lacking the trained voices to lead
the singing, one of the worthy dea-
cons volunteered to throw himself in
to the breach, and he proceeded to
lead. He struck the tune at such an
angle that it was evident he intended
to hit only the high places. and when
he had got so far as 81 love to steal"
he broke down. He pitched 1t a
second time and again broke down at
steal, because he was away too low.
Nothing daunted, however, he started
In again and sang II love to steal"-
and again he went down as before.
The audience became so amused at
this point that suppressed giggles
threatened to break up the sessions,

and solemn dignity, said:
