neither wear or dry well, if the
surface is too cold or not vel
ventilated. At this season of tht
year is the best time for painting
but the varnish must not be toe
cold and the rooms must be
well ventilated or the paint will
not dry well and the best results
will not be obtained. This is
equally true off floor paint. Il
these directions are thoroughly
followed out, you will find that
the Lincoln paint is the best
paint made for the money, cover
ing more square feet OF surface
last longer and gives the best
satisfaction. We sell the Cleve'

A REIMBURSEMENT.

A Missouri man tells of an IT.
ishman named Coughlin, who liv,
ed in a shanty standing in
field near the main highway
from Kansas City. The founda-
tons of the shanty were lower
than the road through which ran
a big Waterman. As the living
floor of the place was raised on
posts to make it level with the
highway it left a large cellar I'M
derneath., where Coughin kept a
dozen hens.
One day the Waterman burst,
flooding the cellar and drowning
the hens. Whereupon Coughlin
took steps to enter a claim for
damages against the city. After
much delay Influential friends SUI
ceeded in securing the sum OF
$25 in settlement of Coughlin s
claim.
1--WE got me money" shouted
the Irishman to neighbor sit
ting on the steps of the next
shanty.
TITS glad l am to hear that, -
was the reply. And how much
was it, Coughlin?"
''Twenty-foive dollars"
"And phwat are We goin' to do
with the twenty-foive, CoughlinY'
"I'm going to buy twenty
fOive dollars worth O. ducks"
said Coughlin.- Weekly.

SUBSIDIARIES ARE ALLOWED  ITO CORPORATIONS, IS THE DEcis- ION OF JUDGE ADAMS OF
 THE U. 8. COURT.
The Case Was Brought Up by Dunn & Powell of Little Rock, vs.
 Arkansas Brokerage Go.

St. Louis, Oct SO.-The right of corporations to organize subsidiary corporations to conduct part of the business was sustained today by Judge Elmer B. Adams, of the United States circuit court of appeals. in a suit brought under the Sherman antitrust act. Many of the points at issue are identical with those the court is now considering in the government suit to dissolve the Standard oil Com pany.
 The case was brought by Dunn & Powell, brokerage firm of Little Rock against the Arkansas Brokerage Company, which was organized by five wholesale grpcers of Pine Bluff, Ark. The plaintiff contended that the Ar kansas Brokerage Company was a combination in restraint of trade.
 In the trial before District Judge Trieber in Little Rock the plaintiff was awarded $7,500. Judge Adams reverses this judgment and instructs a verdict for the defendant.
 Judge Adams opinion says:
 Business becomes unlawful only when it is done so as to directly and substantially retain commerce or sti. fle its freedom.
 The Pine Bluff jobbers merely re- sorted to a common expedient recog. nized by law and sanctioned by prac- tice of forming subsidiary corpora tion to promote economy in the man. agement of their existing business and to extend 1t into other fields of legiti- mate enterprise.'

'lF THE GOVERNMENT REPORT IS THE SAME AS THE ESTIMATES
 THAT HAVE BEEN MADE.
The Crop, It Is Thought, Will Not Exceed 1o,52o,ooo BaIes-Farm.
 mer's Day Has Come. f

Florence, S. C., Oct. 30.-Unlted States Senator Ed Smith is in receipt of letter from Statistician R. l.. New, with advance sheets of circular to be sent out showing that after a trip over the south, the most carerul estimates of the cotton crop this year indicates a possible crop of 10,520,000 bales, agreeing with a recent estimate issued by Senator Smith.
 From exporters Senator Smith lenars that it Is expected that if the government report issued next week on cotton confirms previous adyices, cotton will be bound to reach famine prices. Speculating on the recent cur. tailment of production by the mills. the senator today said:
 "The curtailment by the mills is not because of the high price of the sta pie nor the depression in the price of l goods, but because the spinners see | that there is not to be cotton enough to keep the mills busy until the next cotton crop and a shutting down is in. eyitable. They make a convenience of necessity now in the hope such | action will depress cotton, while they buy greedily wherever they can, de. spite their argument.
 f4Fr,1-
 tunity % see how corporations stick to their organization when business interests demand individual action, just as was the case with the farmer when he rushed his cotton to market. to their amusement. despite the farm i CTS organization.
 This is now the farmers day. thank God" /

viii They Plant Wheat?

Editor THE COMMONWEALTH
Some weeks ago l asked through
vour columns if the farmers OF this
community will plant wheat this tail
and make a start towards raising
their own flour at home.
The formation of a Scotland Neck
Wheat Ginners' Association was sug-
gested, and l had hoped that some
of our farmers would give the mat
ter some attention. 1t will soon be
time to commence preparation Tor
the wheat crop if any is to be plant
ed; and again call the farmers at
tention to the matter.
Of course it may be argued by
some that there is no Touring mill IN
the community, which is true; but
with the assurance of sufficient
wheat crop for number of years tc
Justify it, some enterprising man
would doubtless put in mill for
grinding the wheat. 1t would be &
very easy matter for the farmers te
come together and pledge themsel
YES to plant so many acres OF wheat
per plow for few years and thus
assure the man who would furnish
the thresher and the man who woulC
put in mill of patronage to justify
the enterprise.
Some farmers may say that TIT
wheat crop might be failure. Sup
pose it should. Would that be an.
good reason for not trying another
How many farmers in this commun
ity will harvest anything like tn
peanut crop this year which the.
expected when they planted?
Yet many a farmer is planning al
ready what land he will plant t.
peanuts next year. The same is tru
of corn and cotton. With prope
care and persistence l believe whea
can be grown successfully in thi
community.
What do our farmers think of 1t
Your columns are open and let Their
express themselves.
Let each farmer, large and small

and let us have concerted action an
