Keeping Out Of Debt.

One reason 80 many folks find
the road of life uncomfortable is
the fact that they're walking bare
footed over broken promises.
There's nothing so heavy to car
ry, go disheartening, SO weaken
ing. so nerye.racking, as debt.
If it stopped with the fattening
of the pocketbook, it would be
bad enough; but it only begins
there.
1t weighs on the mind. 1t places
the victim to a disadvantage in
work and play. 1t compromises
manhood and womanhood, and
eats away at charctaer like q
canker worm.
The best and biggest vow q
younng man can make is to keep
out of debt.
There may come times when he
cannot keep his vow and fulfill his
duty to his own, Such times are
not of frequent occurrence, how
ever, but when they do come, the
debtless man will find it easier to
get credit than 1T would be if he
had already exhausted his credit.
To keep out Of debt means self
respect and self.reliance. It
means health and happiness and
freedom from that worst of foes. .

Statesville and vicinity was Wis
tied by severe rain, hail and
windstorm yesterday afternoon
which did considerable damage to
crops northeast of town, washed
farm lands and roads badly and
cverfowed streams. The storm
was severest in east Statesville
and territory for a mile northeast
of town. Corn and trees we're
blown down and hail fell in great
quantities. People living in the
vicinity of the old Davis place, on
the Turnersburg road, say it WAS
the heaviest rainstorm for maLy
years.

UNKNOWN PATIENT.
Does Anybody in Rowan Know Anything of
Such a Boy as the one Described.

Statesville, July 27. w. W,
Turner, of Statesville, has return
ed from a visit to his brother, Dr.
J. P. Turner, of Greensboro, and
tells the correspondence an inter.
esting story about boy in hos
pital at Greensboro. While in the
Gate City Mr.. Turner was told
that an unknown white boy 12 to
Is years old, who had been found
unconscious beside the railroad
track in the vicinity Of Salisbury
about a month ago, was in one of
Greensboro's charity hospitals
for treatment, and thinking it
possible that the boy might be
Foy Kurlee. of Statesville, who
mysteriously disappeared just a
bout month ago, Mr.. Turner
went to the hospital to see him,
but found that he is not the Kur-
lee boy. The boy in the hospital
is suffering from severe cash on
the side of his head and other
Injuries aud has been in a semi
conscious condition ever since he
was taken to the hospital. He
can talk just little at times, but
has as yet not been able to tell
who he is, where he is from and
how he was hurt, and all this re-
mains unknown. He is not bad
looking boy-has black hair, dark
eyes and weighs about 100 pounds

As to Agriculture.

In his address before the sum.
mer school at Charlottesville,
Virginia, Clarence II. Poe, ed
itor of the Progressive Farmer,
spoke on the Agricultural Revolu-
tlon and enlarged on the follow.
ing proposition:
1. For six thousand years un.
til this last century agriculture
has been practically stationary.
The plow which Cincinnatus left
to become dictator of Rome would
not have seemed unfamiliar to our
grandfathers.
2. Now a new day has come.
These next hundred years will see
a revolution in agriculture no less
far.reaching than the revolution
in commerce these last hundred.
3. Much as this means to 9TH
er sections, it means more to the
South, because the South alone
has more farmers than persons in
all other occupations combined.
4. The fundamental need is to
make more money farming. So
long as the Southern farm produc-
es $500 year less than the North
ern farm, the higest civilization
cannot be brought among us.
5. The programme of progress
must include-(D individual ef-
fort-better tillage, better seed,
rotation, diversi6cation, ]egumes,
more live stock, etc; and also(2)
cooperative effort-farmers insti-
tutes, test farms, short courses in
agriculture, rural mail delivery,
better sanitation, rural telephones,
goods roads, etc.
6. For our teachers the great
est work is to help in bringing
about system of education adop-
ted to the needs of country life.
Our textbooks whole curri-
culum, have been made by city
people, for city people, and have
no appeal to the country dwellers.
A change IN the viewpoint of all
the text books is needed, and the
teaching of the elements of agri-
cultural science as we'll in rural
schools. There is no reason why
a teacher should argue that she is
not competent to do this when (if
she has studied the textbook prop
erly) she probably knows a great
deal more of "the movable
things" about history, geography
or physiology subjects which
she regards herself as thoroughly
competent to handle.

The Engineer.

On a dark aud stormy night last
winter train crowded with tired
and anxious travellers was creeping
slowly southward away behind the
schedule time. The enginear
kept his had on the throttle and
his eye on the track, for the heavy
rains made it perilous to travel as
the streams were swollen and any
minute there was danger lest the
train run into a washout. AS sta
tlon after station was approached,
the weird signal was given as a
matter OF course, and finally the
Yadkin bridge was crossed in safe
ty, and at higher speed tho train
rushed on and up the grade which
leads to Spencer, and then the
whistle blew loud and long and
longer still. 1t was a shriek of
triumph seemingly and aroused
many sleepy travellers who won-
dered what it meant But to one
familiar with the facts there was
in it a beautiful and tender senti-
ment which transformed that
hoarse signal into a serenade of
melody and love, for it was a mes
sage of joy to the wife of the en-
glneer who had waited anxiously
and listened through the watches
of the night for that very signal.
She recognized the notes of it, for
it was for the assurance that her
husband had passed safely over
the dangers of the trip and would
soon be at home
Tfainmen.- in great numbers
dwell in Spencer, and when they
are due to come home their fami-
lies listen for the whistle that an.
nounces the approach of their
trains, and when thsy hear the
signal, all their fears are relieved.
So Oh that dark and rainy night,
when the whistle blew 50 loud and
long there was bit Of eloquence
and sweet sentiment in 1t, for it
gladdened a woman's heart and
prepared.her for welcoming home a
SCOT begrlmed, but noble man who
had brought to it's destination safe
and sound a passenger train laden
with humanity. - Green b O o

Lots of Hogs.

this counts but little when the
pleasure of owning hogs comes up.
In June, when giving in his tax
there, one man gave in 40 head of
hogs. He does not seem to be
right sure that he listed enough,
but thinks 40 is somewhere neal
the right number. He carries on
a good deal of business and does
not devote much time to hog.

Hog Raising on a Large Scale.

E. S. Walters, of Sterling's
township, has a pasture of several
hundred acres in which he has $50
hogs and 100 head of cattle, and
when hog.killing times comes Mr..
Walters will have the hog-killing-
est time ever-he will slaughter
300 hogs. Mr.. Walters has found
raising hogs very profitable. For
several years he has been selling
some 5000 pounds of sausage each

Lexington Dispatch. July 2sth.
Rev. A. L. Stanford, pastor o
the First Methodist church, re
mains very i'll with typhoid feve
at the residence of Webster Koont
on First avenue. It was at frs
feared that he had typhoid-pneu
monia. While he has severe at
tack, he is not considered desper
ately i'll, and che whole town il
joined IN the hope that he will
very soon recover. He is one O.
the most popular pastors Lexing
ton ever had.
Thursday night at the specia
meeting of the board of aldermen
a law prohibiting dogs being al
large was passed, same to take eff.
feet the first of August. This law
places a fine of SIS on the owner OF
keeper of dog who let's it go at
large. The fine is for each and
every offense. Dogs may be held
in leash on the streets, but cannot
roam the town as some scores Of
canies do at present.
Business men say their business
is increasing right along. Several
manufacturers last week had the
best business they have enjoyed
since the panic began two years
ago. This is especially true of the
people who deal in lumber and
building supplies. The panic is
passing. The outlook brightens.
The Southbound is on the way.
People walk faster on the streets,
there is more hustle than usual.
Lexington is getting ready t. do
something. Have you joined the

ings. 1t is very dangerous and
the railroad is not responsible. A
boy that rides trains in this way is
taking his life in his hands and if
he is killed, he's paid for.
1t has been apparent to the
management of the Dispatch from
the first that on account of bad
crop pre- spects and the delay in
farm work occa asioned by the rains
of the spring and early summer,
the annual popularity contest of
the paper could not be success
and this conviction has deepened
with each succe eding week. Crops
are not go ID, people are far behind
With their work and are making
every minute count, and they are
blue In such frame of minc
they are unlikely to pay attention
to a newspaper voting contest
Hence The Dispatch this week
withdraws its offers temporaril,
and later will offer to do some
thing along the same line, only
better than it has ever offered be
fore. Any subscriber who ha
paid in morey on new subscrip
