Appeal to Confederate Vet
Grams and Sons of Veterans.
TO Every Camp of Confeder-
ate Veterans in South Caro-
lima.
To Every Camp of Sons of
Veterans in South Carolina.
To commemorate the courage,
devotion, fortitude and eternal
patriotism of the South Carolina
women of the Confederacy, the
legislature at It's last session de.
creed tina monument should be
erected upon the State House
grounds in Colum bia, and ap-
propriated for that purpose seven
thousand five hundred dollars, to
be available only when seven
thousand five hundred dollars
had been voluntarily subscribed
TO the Same object by citizens of
South Carolina.
A Commission was provided for
to carry out the provisions of the
Act That Commission, appoint.
ed by the Governor, recently or
ganizad, and its first act was the
adoption of the following resolu-
tion:
"Resolved, That the Veterans
and Sons of Veterans are and
should be more deeply obligated
to build lasting tribute of sp-
probation, love and veneration
to the women of the Confederacy,
and each Camp of Veterans and
of Sons of Veterans is urged to
take immediate steps for an or
ganized canvass for con ribution
tn the Woman's Monument

1t is not necessary to urge the
Confederates or the Sons of Con-

Those women who are yet with
us, who sus aimed the men in war.
comforted them in defeat, aided
them in the dread task of re-
building ruined country, and
who dotted the South with mon

What Is Your Corn Going to
Cost You?

The Progressive Farmer.
Next week we hope to publish
some figures from Mr.. G. r.
Hudson, the State Agent of the
Farmers Co operative Demon
stration Work, and some from
Mr.. E. s. Millsaps, the agent
for Iredell County, as to the
comparative cost of making corn
under the methods taught by
DR.. Knapp and under those com.
monty followed.
Whatever may be thought OF
these figures, they demonstrate"
beyond all question that the av
srage yield of corn can be
greatly increased and the cost
per bushel greatly decreased by
the use Of better methods.
Many farmers seem TO have
gene into the demonstration
work with great deal of eau
ton, trying it on little patches
of land and looking upon it as
something radically new and
yet Improved.
Now, as we understand it DIR.
Knapp and his force lay the most
stress upon (1) good seed, (2)
good preparation of the soil, (3)
good cultivation atterward. We
have been neglecting our seed
or selecting it with wrong ideal
In mind for long time; but
deep, well-broken, humus-filled
seed bed and level, shallow cul-
tivation are certainly nothing
new or strange. They have
been recognized as essentials of
successful corn culture IN these
sections where the best corn
crops are grown for long time,
and were the established means
to the most profitable yield of
corn long before the demonstra.
ton work had been dreamed OF.
There is nothing radical, nothing
new, nothing doubtful about
these methods DIR. Knapp and
his co-workers are "demonstrat.
ing" They are the methods
followed by the best corn grow
ers everywhere.
There is no money in growing
twenty or twenty-five bushels of !
corn to the acre by the use OF
several hundred pounds of com.
mercial fertilizer. With decent
treatment of our land we should
average more than that iu five
years without any fertilizers q,
all. AS it is, we make Gin North
Carolins) 1913 bushels per acre.
We shall never get rich raising
such corn crops as that.
AS step toward building up
your corn land, begin now TO get
ready to sow peas in the corn
when you lay-by .and crimson
clover on the land next fall.
AS a means to making the most
out of this crop, prepare 10 cul-
tivate 1t whenever it needs cul-
tiYation- whenever the soil be- |
gins to "crust" or get hard
and to cultivate with tools that !
will fine the first two or three
inches of the soil without tear
ing up the roots of the corn.
Prepare 10 demonstrate" on
your farm this year that you can
grow more than i2 bushels TO
the acre and that you can grow
it at a reasonable cost.

IInexnected Prize

With a deftness acquired by long
and patient practice the pickpocket
extracted an old but well-filled wallet
from the hip pocket of the unsuspect-
ing old gentleman with the beaming
countenance against whom he had
carelessly brushed when leaving the
street car, and on reaching a secluded
place he opened it.
The contents had been wrapped with
great care in numerous thicknesses of
blank paper. Removing the wrappings
one by one, he found in the center of
the package a card with this inscrip-
ton upon it: Young man, Give Up
Your Career of Crime! Nothing
In IT."

CELEBRATING THE
GLORIOUS FOURTH.
DEATHS AND ACCIDENTS RE-
PORTED IN A NUMBER OF
CITIES AND TOWNS.
THE "SAFE AND SANE" IDEA
It Is Carried Out In Various Places
and as Consequence There
Were Fewer Casualties
Than Year Ago.

New York Clty.-Four deaths, 337
Injured, nine of them dangerously and
one so seriously that death seems GER
tain. was the Fourth Of July record
In New York and Brooklyn. Fires in
city and suburbs we're numbered by
the score, but none in New York prop
er did any great damage.
Chicago.-The promise of sane"
celebration was carried out in the
final results of accidents here. Only
35 accidents were reported, the ma
jority of those of minor character.
There was one death. The day was
celebrated in the suburbs and in the
outlying districts with home parties
and old fashioned oratory.
Pittsburg.- DEATH 1SS scorched
fingers, II manned arms and three
burned eyes is the toll paid by young
America in Greater Pittsburg for the
independence day celebration.
Camden, N. J.-During ceIebra-
tion in Reservoir park cannon ex-
ploded, a piece of which killed Mrs.
Emma Hebel, %, and her six-weeks-
old infant. Charles Nullian, II, had
the top of his head torn off and can
not live. The cannon was in charge
of George Houser, 10. He was badly
injured about the body and had one
arm horribly mangled.
Washington.-Wa Washington rounded
out the day and it's observance In an
Ideal manner. The safe and sane"
idea of celebrating the day was ad-
mirably carried out, the program Of
events being concluded with a pyro-
technic display on the Ellipse south
of the White House.
Philadelphia. - Three deaths and
$50 persons injured is the result of In
dependence day celebration. Baron
Kogoro Takahira, Japanese ambas-
sador to the United States, took the
leading part in the Fourth of July
exercises at historic Independence
Hall here, which was the principal
feature of Philadelphia's annual cele-
bration of the signing of the declara-
ton of independence.
Boston.-The city has never had a
more quiet celebration of Independ-
ence day. Not a single fatality due
to fireworks occurred. In the city
during the "a hours 110 were injured,
FIVE seriously. In most other cities of
New England the day also passed
with comparative quiet. police regu-
Iations against the use of fireworks
being strictly enforced in many places.
Louisville, Ky. - The unenviably
distinction of having made the most
notable sacrifice to patriotism by rea,
son of independence day celebration
this year will probably fall to Louis
vile through the death at Seymour
Ind, of Arthur Granville Langham
former president of the Provident Life
Assurance society. Mr.. Langhan
never recovered from the effects oi
having his right hand shattered by the
explosion of a cannon cracker.

Alcohol and tuberculosis.

The most prominent tuberculosis
specialists in the country agree that
alcohol will not cure consumption. DR..

cured and never will cure tuberculosis.

TAFT AT FORT TICoNDERoGA
President and Other Notables Take
Part in the Lake champlain Ter
centenary Celebration.

Ticonderoga, N. Y.-The great day
of the Lake Champlain tercentenary at
the southern end of the lake was duly
celebrated. Early in the day bat
terry of field pieces ON the summit of
Mt. Independence, opposite old Fort
Ticonderoga, thundered forth presi-
Dental and gubernatorial salutes, tell
ing that President Taft and Gov.
Hughes and their parties had arrived.
The distinguished guests were taken
at once to the old Pell mansion and
entertained by Mr.. and Mrs. Stephen
H. P. Pell Of New York City, who
own also the old fort and are hav-
ing it restored at q cost of about
100000. Already the restoration Of
the west barracks has been completed,
and there, where Ethan Allen made
his famous demand of the English
commandant for the surrender of the
fort "in the name of the Great Je-
hovah and the continental congress"
the exercises of the day were conduct
ed. Near by, in big glass frame,
lies the hull of the schooner Revenge,
one of Benedict Arnold's feet that
was burned by the British and recent
ly raised from the bottom of the
lake.
An especially interesting feature of
the exercises was a sham battle
fought along the old French lines of
the fort by soldiers of the Second reg
iment, N. Y. N. G. The artificial island
and its pageants of Indian life and
warfare also attracted much attention
The chief addresses were made by
Speaker Cannon and Hamilton Mabie

WHERE OLD HICKORY DINED.
Historic Hostelry on National Pike
Road Has Entertained Many
Notable People in Its Time.

OF all the points of interest along
the National Pike between Cumber-
land, Md, and Wheeling, w. Va, there
are none which in the least compares
with the Old Workman House, now
the New Girard House, which stands
at the end of Market street. The Ma
tional Pike, which was constructed at
the enormous cost of $1,7OO,00O by the
federal government, has many inter-
esting points, but Brownsville has the
most prominent place as to containing
the most historic land marks. In the
year 1884 Gen. Washington himself
made a trip over the route on which
this great pike was afterward con-
structed, and in the year of 1911 con-

AN OLD TIMER
Has Had Experiences.

A woman who has used Postum
since it came upon the market knows
from experience the wisdom of US
ing Postum in place of coffee If one
values health and a clear brain. She
says:
''At the time Postum was first put
on the market / was suffering from
nervous dyspepsia, and my physician
had repeatedly told me not to use
tea or coffee. Finally I decided to
take his advice and try Postum. I
got a package and had it carefully
prepared, finding it delicious to the
taste. So continued its use and very
soon its beneficial effects convinced
me of it's value, for l got well OF my
nervousness and dyspepsia.
my husband had been drinking cof-
fee all his life until it had affected
his nerves terribly, and / persuaded
him to shift to Postum. It was easy
to get him to make the change for
the Postum is so delicious. 1t Ger.
tainly worked wonders for him.
I'VE soon learned that Postum does
not exhilarate nor depress and doea
not stimulate, but steadily and honest
ly strengthens the nerves and the
stomach.
ITO make long story short. our en-
tire family continued to use Postum
with satisfying results. as showL. in
our fine condition of health and we
have noticed rather unexpected i'm

Dec. 10, 1920.
The Old Workman House was built
in 1897, built by John Mcclure Hezlop,
who presided over it as landlord for
some time. James Workman then
took possession of it in 1888 and pre-
sided over its destinies for a great
many years. He had an established
reputation as whole souled landlord
and was a good caterer.
1t still retains the reputation early
established as being one of the best
hostelries III town.
The late George e. Hogg, who was
for many years leading and wealthy
citizen of Brownsville, is authority for
the following amusing story concern
ing James Workman, the old landlord,
and Gen. Jackson.
On the occasion of one of Gen. Jack
sons frequent trips over the National
Pike the good people of Brownsville
decided to give him rousing public
ovation. All the usual formalities for
such events were arranged for and
last but not least was a dinner at the
Old Workman House. When the bat
tle-scarred old veteran arrived he was
taken to the Presbyterian church,
where the reception speech was made
and to greet the people. A short
time after the audience had settled
down Mr.. Workman entered the
building and forcing his way down
the aisle where the general was seat
ed in a front pew, accosted him thus:
Gen. Jackson, l have been commits
stoned by the committee of arrange
ments to provide your dinner, and
have come to inquire If there is any
particular diet you prefer above an
other, that | may have the pleasure
of gratifying your taste. "The old war
rior gravely responded Ham and
eggs" This reply Disconnected the
old landlord and thinking it was a
joke repeated his inquiry. When the
same response came the second time
in very emphatic tone Ham and
eggs" Mr.. Workman then hastily left
the building and hurried to his hotel
and ordered his cook to prepare ham
and eggs for the Generals dinner.
After dinner the old General stood
upon the front porch of the hotel and
addressed the people, thanking them
for the kindness in entertaining him.
Later, when he was on the steamboat
William Writ, on the Ohio river, he
wrote quite lengthy letter to the
committee expressing his heartfelt
thanks for their generosity. This
priceless letter is still in the posses
sion of James Risbeck of this town
The Hon. Henry Clay was also en-
tertained at the Old Workman House
while passing over the old National
Pike. An amusing story is told of his
visit. He was crossing Dunlaps CreeI
and was riding outside of the old style
stage coach and, fording the stream
he fell off into the mud. Some ready
wit nearby at the time said 1t wai
expensive business to bring Clay al
the way from Kentucky to fill holes IL

tor" enjoyed his stay here greatly
notwithstanding the fact that he wa
