Richmond County Corn.
News and Observer.

News and observer.
More corn per acre and more corn
in quantity has been grown in North
Carolina this year than any previous
year. This State is going before long
to be in the same class with Iowa as
big corn producing State. There
has been q contest in Richmond
county to see who could raise the
most corn to the acre, and the Rock
ingham Post thus sums up the re-
suit OF the best yield:
THE yields on the prize acres have
been enormous. AS told elsewhere in
today's paper the work of measuring
the yields OF the prize acres began
Tuesday at Mr.. j. NJ Dockery's.
One of Mr.. Dockery's acres measured
80 bushels The best measured 80
43-1OO bushels. Mr.. II. C. Dockerv
took the lead Wednesday with 1O3h
bushels for his best acre. A few years
ago 40 bushels was condidered a
wonderful yield, and in more recent
years so bushels to the acre was
considered worthy of extended notice
in the newspapers. A new day has
dawned and old Richmond county is
coming to the front"

Some Press Opinions Of "The Ser

Following are some press criticisms
of Charles Ram Kennedy's great
modern drama, 1.-The Servant in the

moved The Independent.

Crowds Attracted to the Hender-
SON Shoe Store.

That liberal supply of printers
ink properly applied and directed is
as great factor as ever in produ-
cling certain results is clearly demon
strated each day at the Henderson
Shoe Company's store. As already
announced this progressive firm are
enlarging, branching out as it were,
and right now are telling the people
about their great Opening Expan-
sion sale with consistent but
elaborate advertising. Results: from
''early morn to dewy eve" they are
packing folks in their establishment
almost like the proverbial sardines
in a box, turning q vast amount OF
merchandise and letting the people
know that they are decidedly in bus
mess. All of which goes to prove the
soundness of John Wanamaker, who
spends thousands upon Thousand OF
dollars each year simply telling the
people that he is still in business. To
sum it up quickly, the Henderson
Shoe Company are making good. A
business but one year old and grow
ing at tremendous rate.

The True Test Of a Man.
Charlotte News.

Charlotte News.
"a mans life in his family, with
his wife, his children, his mother, his
neighbor, is not made OF grandstand
plays. 1t is made up, on the con-
trary, Of a series of little acts and lit
tie self-restraints, and these little
things are what goes to make up
the mans character"
The above was not taken from ser
mons by the late DR.. Talmage, though
it must be admitted that it is as
good as the best from this lamented
divine. On the contrary, it is an
humble quotation from most excel
lent sermon delivered by President
Taft while at Salt Lake City. Able
and gifted theologians and doctors
have discoursed upon the moral law,
but We believe none has ever gotten
closer to the truth than did our
President. AS preacher Mr.. Roose-
velt attained distinction, and many
OF his homilies linger with us still.
But, as q presentation of simple gos-
pei, free OF dogma. we will place
this extract from President Taft's
sermon along with the choicest rhe-
torical outbursts from the distin-
guished pulpiteer who was his prede-
cessor in office.
Mr. Taft is eternally right. 1t is
in the closed circle OF the home that
the real man is known best. There
you find him, free of all affectation.
There is no occasion to play to the
grandstands. There is no occasion
to masquerade. He is known to the
family circle as himself Mauy men,
suave, sweet and affable in their in
tercourse with neighbors and friends,
are sordid, selfish and intolerant at
home. Many others find in the quiet
sanctum of the home broader field
for the exercise of their better and
nobler selves. The man of character
is the man who, in the little acts and
little relf-restraints, displays the very
quintessence of polished character.
He is happy himself, and he makes
those with whom he comes into
closest contact, happy. The real test
OF the man is not, then, iu the bust
ness Office, on the street, at the club,
or even at the church, but by the
| fireside. Mr.. Taft's sermon contains
a world OF truth.

An Accomplished Actor.

Mr.. Edouard D'Oize, who was seen
as Shylock i'm "The Merchant of Ven
ice" at the Grand Theatre last Fri
day evening, showed himself an ac-
complished and versatile actor.
Much was expected Of him and to
those OF a critical and appreciative
nature much was realized in the ad-
mirable Interpretation OF the charac-
ter portrayed. "The Merchant Of
Venice" has been pronounced Shake
speare's master comedy and in the
character OF Shylock, Mr.. D'Oize
made fine impression, and one that
will long remain in the memory of
his audience. The supporting COM
pany with Miss Eugenia Flagg in the
stella female role, was very good
and the performance proved a rare
treat to many in the audience.

IT'S YOUR KIDNEYS.
Don't nistake the Cause of Your
Troubles. A Henderson Citizen
Shows How to Cure Them.

Many people never suspect their kid
neys. If suffering from a lame, weak or
aching back they think that it is only
a muscular weakness; when urinary
trouble sets in they think it will soon
correct it.elf And SO it is with all the
other symptoms of kidney disorders.
That is just where the danger lies. You
must cure these troubles or they may
lead to diabetes or Bright disease. The
best remedy 10 use is Doan's Kidney
Pills. 1t cures all ills which are caused
by weak or diseased kidneys. Hender-
son people testify to permanent cures

Destructive Fire Saturday Night.

A fire occurred Saturday night
which resulted in the burning Of six
horses, a number of buggies and sets
OF harness and other property. The
burned building was the barn On the
Lassiter place occupied by Joe Vain-
wright, colored, and kept as a board
ing stable. Those who lost horses
were w. A. Hunt, J. A. Moore, Wal
ter Aston, DR.. Fenner, DIR. Upcurch
and a negro man, Ed Ridley, OF Ok
ford, who had a horse there for the
night. All were valuable animals
and the loss falls heavily on the indi-
viduals Eight vehicles and 81 sets
of harness were burned also together
with a small quantity OF feed and
other things. Some other horses
kept in another building were saved.
Among the horses kept in the
burned building was the French
coach stallion belonging to the Vance
and Franklin Horse Breeders As
sociation, and all that saved him
was his fortunate absence at the
time. He was sent to Louisburg on
Wednesday or the loss in fine horse
flesh would have been considerably
worse. In one of the outer buildings
Mr.. J. P. Taylor had two fine young
standard bred horses which were be-
ing broken and trained by Joe Vain
wright, who is an expert in that line.
These and some others we're gotten
out before the building they were in
caught, as was DR.. Aliens automo-
bile, which came very near being sac
rificed to the flames.
MIR. Moore had some insurance on
his horse but with this exception the
damage inflicted by the fire was a
total loss, buildings, animals, vehi-
cles and other property. Origin OF
the fire is unknown.

OF "The Servant in the HOUSE,"
Charles Ram Kennedy powerful and
stirring drama which comes to the

critic wrote this during the run OF
the play at the Savoy i'm New York:
What wonderful lesson is heing

pluy at the Savoy. Daring indeed is Mr.
Kennedy. but how true to lie it all is
God isn't looking-le. Us give as little
and grab as much as we can just seems
to 6t the average man, whether he be
the clergyman or business man. And
looking over the well-ied audience that
filed the Savoy, fancy it must have
gone straight as an arrow to at least
one half OF the men there. 1t was, how
ever, bit rough on the Bishop to be
90 exposed aud before one OF the people
too. 1t is as perfect a perior nance as one
can ever hope to see; play that requires
intelligent people to interpret"
