Judge Cooks Mistake.

While Superior Court was il ses-
sion at Raleigh a few days ago, a
distinguished member of the Monroe
bar entered the crowded court room
and passed within the space reserved
for members Of the legal profession
and other offenders. A whiskey sell
ing case was being tried at the time,
and witness for the State was testi-
flying about having seen the defend
ant handing out drinks. Just at this
juncture Judge Cooke looked up and
saw the Monroe attorney looking for
seat, and he called out, "Mr.
Sheriff give Mr-a drink,-er-l
mean a chair" The roar of laugh
ter that followed the judges little
mistake, was unanimous-Charlotte

Two Farmers VINO Are Independent.

Miss Panthea Simpson, who was
operated on at a hospital in Charlotte
a few weeks ago for appendicitis, re-
turned to her home in New Salem
township Sunday. She has almost
recovered from the operation.
Old Uncle Henry Permeter Of
Charlotte is in town today. He got
off the train yesterday afternoon and
has been travelling over town almost
like a young man. Mr.. Permeter
says he was born in 1903, which
would make him 107 years old.
Some think the old man came down
to visit relatives while others are of
the opinion that he is looking for a
wife.
Mr.. J. w. Philips, who lives across
the line in Mecklenburg county, sold
16 bales of cotton last week for
which he received about $1,000
But when we learned little about
Mr.. Philips way of farming we were
not at all surprised at his success.
He recently threshed 81 shocks of
oats which made 75a bushels. Mr.
Phillips farms in such a manner that
he doesn't have to sell cotton until
he feels like it.
The improvements that are being
made in resident sections Of Marsh
Vile may make you think about New
York, but there is still room for
more good citizens, and that's the
kind that are invited.
Mr.. j. D. Marsh, who lives three
and half miles south of Marshville,
is another farmer who does things
in such way that the price of cot
ton doesn't bother him very much.
He recently had the threshing ma
chine at his home and it knocked out
542 bushels of grain. That looks
like business to us.
Robt. Marsh, colored, was drown
ed in Lanes creek at the Lytle ford
in Marshville township, Saturday
afternoon. He undertook to cross
the creek while the water was high
and was washed out of his buggy
and his body remained at the bottom
of the creek until Sunday morning
when it was found about hundred
wards from the road. The mule and
buggy were washed about fifty yards
and lodged against a big log. The
mule was gotten out before it drown
ed, but the buggy was torn to pieces.

Twenty Per Cent. Gain in the Yield OF
Wheat

Raleigh, July 26.-It is estimated
that there was a gain of 20 per cent
in the yield of wheat in North Caro-
lima this season, compared with the
yield of 1909. 1t is believed, in fact,
that the yield this season averaged
IL bushels to the acre, compard with
an average of 9.5 for 1909. On this
basis the 1910 yield is 8,206,00 bush
els, compared with 5, 5,415,000 lastyear
The harvesting and threshing are
about completed.
The 1910 crop is the best develop
ment and finest quality this State ha:
harvested in years as we'll as the
largest in acreage. The acreage last
season was $40, 900 acres, compared
with about 685,OOO this season
The crop was practically free from
pests of deterioating influences OF
anv sort.

Long Heads and Round Heads.

There are men today who in fame,
at least, are navigating the air, anc
the most ingenious machines have
been built. That dream will be real
lied, and the air will be filed with
human birds. What lacks today i:
not counsel, but only sufficient DOW
er.
Go into the schools Of the city, anc
you will see there two classes of boys
There is the .long-headed boy, who
gives promise Of thought and inven-
ton. He sits long over his books
and in moments of reflection his eye
has a far-away look. He is the seer
And by his side there sits the round
headed boy. Pick him out for ac-
ton. He is into all kinds of mis-
chief, and cares less for books than
for play. But he will grow up to be
the executive of his country. He
will be the soldier. He may not be
the statesman, but he can be the poll
tician, and will bring things to pass.
This same difference may be found
among the girls, for every home has
it's Mary, who sits and learns, and
it's Martha, who is numbered with
much serving"
This condition is essentially hui
man. Some are giants in thought,
and others are giants in action.
But why cannot we do all that we
plan?
Well, we are feeble in action be-
cause of the uncertainty of human
life. This little moment of three
score and-ten is not long enough to
do very much.
We begin as children. Have you
watched the child with his blocks
and toys? AS he rocks his hobby
horse he thinks he is securing the
plain, and he encourages his toy with
his infant chirrup. He plays at SOL
dier with his little gun, and as he
builds his blocks into a house, he
fancies himself a master architect.
But if you see that child in thirty
years and he still plays with the
same toys, your heart is sad. We
expect the child to grow We grow
ourselves, and the plans of the youth
have no place in the thought of the
man. The boy smiles at the wish Of
the child the vorng man smiles at
the boy, maturity smiles at the
young man, and old age smiles at US
all. Walk down the street with your
child and observe the objects which
attract his fancy. Go down with
him thirty years after, and see how
different are his tastes. And so we
walk down life's highway and could
now doubtless buy all that we once
wished, but they have no charm for
us now. And the plans that once
we formed are today only matters
of amusement The Christian He
raid.

Getting Ahead Of Aat0mobiliSiS.

An anti-automobil farmer in Da-
wilson has evolved a plan which beats
the scattering of tacks along the
road all to pieces Taking his stand
on the bank Of a deceptive stream,
he assures each unsuspecting driver
that the ford is shallow. The
machine drives in, only to become
hopelessly stalled after the water has
drowned its engine. Then the alert
farmer gets his team and pulls
his helpless victim to land, charging
a round price withal. This true
story is worthy Of Greek mythology
and Of Theseus or Hercules to be.

PAID FOR AEOTRER'S CRIME.
Man Who Was Sentenced for Life for
Murder Of His Own Family is Cleared
After His Death.

A rag-picker named Joseph today
confessed to the assassination Ap. i
q. 1901, of five children of farm
er named Briere, in the vicinity Of
Charles. The father of the children
was found guilty Of the murder and
sentenced to life imprisonment. He
died in prison.
The trial of Briere attracted the
attention of the whole of France.
Four of his daughters, aged respect
lively IA, II, 6 ard 4, and his son. 7
years Of age, were found in bed one
morning stabbed and beaten to death.
The farmer was arrested and charg-
ed by the police with the crime. Ac-
cording to theory advanced by the
police to prove a motive for the
crime. Briere, who owned a small
farm near Cerancez, wished to mar
ry a woman of considerable wealth.
Circumstantial evidence led to the
conviction that the farmer, consider
ing his family an remembrance, mur-
dered his five children in order to
carry out his wishes.
Briere stoutly maintained his in
nocence through the trial, declar-
ing that two tramps entered the
house during his absence and killed
the children. He added that he re-
turned while the murderers were
robbing the place and that they at
tackled him and left him for dead.
During the trial the Judge got down
from the bench and gave loud ex-
preston of his opinion Of the guilt
of the prisoner while the spectators
shouted. kill him, kill him!" A
specific incident of the trial occurred
when Briere's surviving daughter,
who, the police declared, only escap-
ed the fate of he other children by
not responding to Briere's invitation
to go to see him, went on the wit
ness stand and sobbingly protested
that her father was Innocent nd
begged the court to restore him to
her. Tours, France, Dispatch, 21st.

Relative Effect and Cost of War and
Disease.

The ratio of mortality in war, for
two hundred years, has been from
disease to l from bullets. In the
Mexican and civil wars this ratio was
3 to l. In the Boer war the ratio
was Z to 1. In the Spanish-Ameri-
can war, owing to lack of sanitary
authority, this ratio reached its
maxium-14 to l. In the Russo-Jap-
anese war, where the laws of SAINT
alton were enforced with rigid mill
tary discipline, the ratio Of centuries
was reversed, and the mortality was
l from disease and from bullets.
More lives are lost each year in the
United States from preventable dis
ease than hape been lost in all our
wars combined-Indian, Revolution
ary, War of 1912, Mexican, Civil, and
Spanish-American. In the Spanish
American war about five soldiers
died from typhoid fever to every one
killed by shot and shell. The United
States mustered hundred thousand
soldiers to rid Cuba Of the Spaniard,
and sent three men to Cuba to rid
the island of yellow fever, the plague
Of the tropics The Spa0iard was
driven out and yellow fever was con-
quered. The city Of Havana, from
1850 to 1900, suffered an annual
average loss Of $50 lives from this dis
ease In addition, there was an an
nllal average sickness from the dis
ease of 2,250 others. The financial
loss through the destruction Of pro-
ductive energy from death and sick
ness, from diminished trade as a re-
suit Of the prevalence of a fearful
epidemic, and from expensive and un-
necessary quarantine, amounted to
an annual average loss of over $780,
900. Since the discovery Of the easy
method of controlling the disease
that is, since 19OO-there has been
an annual average Of only four
deaths from yellow fever in Havana
Most Of these cases contracted the
disease elsewhere an developed the
fever after visiting Havana. Com
merce is now no longer afraid to en-
ter this harbor, even when case OF
two of Yellow Jack (therc are never
more) exists No more expensive
unnecessary quarantine BURDENS the
taxpayers. And, as in Havana, so
in Rio de Janeiro, the Canal Zone,
and elsewhere. Major General Leo
nard Wood has said that the dis
covery Of the method Of controlling
this disease saves the commercial in
terests of our country each year
more than the entire cost of the
Spanish-American war.
Disease is far more costly than
war, and the results Of disease pre-
vention more humane and more val
liable to the race. And yet, of the
total annual expenses Of our Nation
al Government for 1909, $S00,0O0,
900, $3.50, 900, 900 or 70 per cent went
for pensions and the army and the
navy, or for wars past and wars an
ticipated; only per cent was spent
directly and indirectly for health,
and only per cent was spent direct
" for health. Our own State Gov
ernment is spending two dollars for
military equipment to one for public
health too much for our three
regiments, but too little for our
peoples lives. More of this next

The CANNING INDUSTRY.
Every Housewife Should Can Her Own
Fruits and Vegetables.

Too little attention is paid by the
housewives of North Carolina to the
canning Of fruits and vegetables.
This is an art that needs to be cult
waited and the State Department of
Agriculture is making a commend
able effort in that direction. 1t has
just published bulletin on the home
canning of fruits and vegetables,
which should be in every farmers
home. The article is written by the
assistant horticulturist, S. B. Shaw,
and it is worth quoting from. In
rural communities. says Mr. Shaw, it
is frequently the case that during the
winter months the most delicious
and wholesome fruits and vegetables
are absent from the daily bill of fare.
Possibly some tomatoes are canned
some fruits preserved or dried, but
the most nutritious vegetables and
the most palpatable fruits are allow
ed to spoil in the garden and orchard
because of the impression that it is
impossible to keep them. This is 9
mistake. 1t is just as easy to keep
corn, peas and beans as it is to keep
peaches and tomatoes-a fact which
has been demonstrated by CONNER
cial packers who have canned almost
every variety of fruit and vegetable.
When the supply of fruit and vege-
tables is greater than the family
needs and market is not conven-
lent in which to dispose Of this fresh
produce, the surplus may be made
source of income by selling it in the
form of canned goods. Sometimes
those living near a convenient mar
ket experience difficulty in finding
ready sale for their produce on ac-
count of the conditions often existing
in the markets Of the larger cities.
In conditions of this kind, growers
can provide themselves with canning
outfits, suited in capacity to their
needs. put up clean, reliable grade
of goods, market them as judiciously
as they do their green stuff, and turn
to profit that which otherwise might
have been complete loss. There
seems to be a belief by the general
pubic thai there is something mvr-
terious in the commercial canning
process. The great secret of this
process is a careful observation of
two things cleanliness and complete
sterilization. 1t is possible for every
housewife to run a small canning
factory in her own kitchen, and on
the farm. This is both economical
and desirable. Fruits and vegetables
can be "put up' in glass jars or tin
cans at home much cheaper thai
they can be purchased in the form Of
commercially canned goods, and the
flavor, texture and general quality Of
the homemade product can be made
superior to the product of the aver
age factory.
This bulletin is not only full of de-
tails as to the process Of canning all
kinds of fruits and vegetables, but
carries illustrations that make the
whole thing plain. 1t is printed for
free distribution, and a postal card
addressed to the Agricultural De-
partment at Raleigh will get it. The
Chronicle urges all of it's farmer
readers to get copy. There is
money in it.-Charlotte Chronicle.
