HOW THE CREAMERY WORKS.
The Checks Sent Out to the Farmers
Put Them In a Good Humor.

THE checks which went around the
county as the result Of the June work
of the creamery have had wonderful
effect in making the old patrons OF the
creamery enthusiastic and of adding
new patrons" said Mrs. oliver Moore
one of the leading spirits of the Co.
Operative creamery.
There was one man, Mr.. Moore said
whom he tried to induce to buy a
cream separator but who said he could
not afford. At least he might send off
and buy a cheap one which he had
seen advertised somewhere. Q He did
not care to send to the creamery, but
his wife did She sent the cream for a
month and meantime they got separ-
ator for a months trial. At the end of
June they drew a check for over $S
What had you been getting for the
butter you made YOURSELF" asked Mr.
Moore. "A little over 81 a month";" was
the answer. Now they are going to
keep the separator and keep on with
the creamery.
A man on another route lived so far
off the main road that he had tO haul
the cream several miles to meet the
creamery wagon. He got caught in a
big rain one day and quit taking the
cream. He said it wouldn't pay him
when he had to get wet occasionally,
But when ne got his check for the
amount of cream he had hauled before
that rainy day, he could hardly believe
his eyes. on the first day Of July he
began hauling cream again to meet the
creamery wagon.
Mr.. r. L. Shuford has been a GUS
toner of the creamery during the sum-
mer months, while the State Normal
and Industrial school at Greensboro,
which he supplies, is taking vacation.
Mr. ShufOrd sends the cream all the
way To the Dutch Dairy farm in his
own wagons where it meets the
creamery wagon.-Hickory Democrat.

A MOST UNHAPPY CAT.
Everything and Everybody In Con-
spiracy to Make Him Miserable.

Nebuchadnezzar was the unhappiest
cat in Christendom, and there was
some reason for it. He felt very much
as If he were imprisoned in a wire
cage, just like the fool canary bird
And that bird was part of it. Hav-
ing an acute sense Of hearing, the
song Of this feathered nuisance dis
turbed Nebuchadnezzar to the bottom
Of his being. In plain, unvarnished,
up-to-date English, it made him sore.
Time after time he'd tried to get
that bird, but they'd made the cage
strong enough to keep a tiger out, and
the last time some one caught him
climbing up, and welted him with
barrel stave.
Then grandma was so blamed deaf
that it was an outrage. Nebuchadnez-
Ear ragged about It, She had slammed
the pantry door on his tail, and when
he remarked bitterly about 1t. she
thought someone was calling her and
left him there.
Then underneath the refrigerator
was the incest place to sleep. They
had a dishpan put under the refrigera-
tor to catch the dripping ice water,
and in summer time all a cat had to
do was to curl right up against it and
sleep in peace.
Then they got careleS: about the
pan, and one night 1t overhowed and
deluged him. giving him a pad cold,
and making him so hoarse he couldn't
attend the annual concert Of the Moe
turnal Felines' Back-fence Joy club.
and he had been counting on going.
Nebuchadnezzar had other griefs,
too. How was he to know that milk
in a crock on the table was different
from milk in a saucer on the floor?
It wasn't right to hit him with pan
when he made such a mistake.
Altogether, NebuchadnezZar was un-
happy. He sulked. He loafed about
and got stepped upon, and was gen.
orally so disagreeable that they de-
cided he needed a tablespoonful Of
castor OIL And he got it.
But they paid for it, confound
them! NebuchadneZzar bit and
scratched, and the man who had the
spoon said things he ought never to
have said in the presence Of children,
and wiped the blood off his hand on
his best trousers.
But even this didn't make Nebuchad-
nezzar happy. He went back in the
yard and lay down under the goose
berry bush and wished he were dead.
But shucksI What's the use Of
cat wishing that? If he got his wish,
he'd have to get eight more.-Galves-

KING OF THE METALS.
Iron Is the Very Root Of the Great
Electrical Industry.


The very root of the electrical in
dustry Is iron. Without iron 1t Is
doubtful If the larger generators and
the mighty motors could be built, for
the powerful magnets, upon which
these inventions depend for their pow
er, are all made of soft iron, either
in the form of thin plates or long
wires covered with insulation.
The iron age is commonly believed
to have begun in Africa or Asia. The
latest Investigations prove that 1t was
not worked in Egypt until the ninth
century before the Christian era, or In
Libya until $50 b. c., that the Semites
adopted it's use still later, and that 1t
has been known in Uganda only with
in the last five or six centuries. In
China iron is mentioned in 400 B. c.
Bronze weapons were employed in
China until 100 A. D., and in Japan
until 700 A. D.
The metallurgy Of iron must have
originated in Central Europe, especi-
ally in Noricum, which approximately
represented modern Austria and Ba-
varia. Only at Hallstett and in Bosnia
and Pennsylvania, from which coun-
tries the Achaians and Dorians are
supposed to have migrated to Greece,
are found evidences of a gradual in
PRODUCTION of IRON, at first as an orna-
ment applied to the bronze, which 1t
ultimately displaced. Everywhere else
iron was introduced suddenly, fact
which implies foreign origin.
Meteoric iron was known in Egypt
in remote antiquity, but no doubt 1t
was worked as flints were worked, by
cutting or chipping, and was not
smelted In other words, 1t was the
metaliurgy, not the knowledge Of iron,
that originated in Central Europe.
Nearly every one is familiar with
the common horseshoe magnet. which
is but piece Of steel bent in the shape
of a horseshoe and charged with mag
netism When a steel bar Of this
shape is rubbed against another mag
net it is charged" and Will remain
so for a long time. The magnets used
in electrical machinery are of the in
duction type-that Is, the magnetism
vanishes just as soon as the current is
taken away from them. If you wind
a long insulated wire tightly around
a soft iron core and send through this
wire a weak current of electricity the
core will be instantly possessed OF
strong magnetic qualities. This fact
is the basis of all electric motors and
generators. The field coils are usual
ly made of a soft iron core wound with
yards and yards of insulated wire.
When the current is sent through this
wire the soft iron core is turned into
a powerful magnet. and this magnetic
power is used to drive motors or to
generate more ectricity.-Electrical

Throughout that time l had grown
steadily more and more morose. Like
an elephant l began to show signs or

got angry at my lawyer. There was
no justification for this. 1t was slmp-

concluded from Tuesdays Issue.l
. AS l look back, I think the most
dreadful ordeal of that long wait was
the first time my wife saw me behind
prison bars. The shame and morti-
fcation were so intense that, unreas-
enable although it may seem, l could
scarcely bring myself to look at her
She had come, Drawing reporters
cameras. to bring me cheer, but l
could tell, between words. of the bat
tie she was fighting. She was down
and the pack was upon her. Only to
see me did she venture outdoors in
the daytime. Otherwise, she went
out only at night. Neighbors' chill
dren had taken it upon themselves TO
inform our little girl where she would
be able to find her papa if she wanted
him. These things l drew from my
wife piece by piece. She broke down
completely, despite a heroic effort to
control herself. She brought her lips
as near as she could to the bars but
I could not kiss her. She left me,
staggering out on the arm of Mr.. Will
let whom l asked the warden to sum-
mon. 1t was three weeks before 1
could bring myself to consent to eX-
pose her again to this ordeal.
How a man of refined sensibilities
feels when he is thrown into cell
and subjected to every mental torture
ii is possible to conceive in the inter-
est of ChristenGom. is a question my
intimate friends sometimes ask.
Do you recall the peculiar pungent
exasperating odor that greets you
when you visit the menagerie? From
the moment 1 entered the prison this
animal odor greeted me. 1t was there
as the lock emitted its sickening click.
1t was there throughout long days OF
heartbreaking waiting. 1t was there
in the middle of the nights when l
started out of my bunk. 1t was there
when my wife called to see me and L
felt mortified unto death to think that
I was the cause of her entrance into
these surroundings. 1t was an odor
that caused you instinctively to lock
lips and breathe through nostrils and
that got to the inside of your skull
between the eyes where it settled and
numbed.
1t was weeks and weeks before
got so used to this odor that 1 dared
take a deep breath. After this, 1
was quite broken, in fact, l became so
broken in that 1 began to make So
Geological observations and to analyze
them.
Among the first things l noticed
wher I got my new bearings was that.
behind prison walls, society divides
itself into classes. The man who is to
be tried for murder is the aristocrat
behind steel bars. He is accused of
no paltry, contemplate crime. He
has gone the limit and is willing to
