NORTH CAROLINA RIOSSOMfSG
As A ROSE THESE DAYS.
81 Worthless Now Produces More
Than the Best Lands Of Ten Years
Ago.
1Roanoke-CnoWan Times.l

lRoanoke-CnoWan fimes.)
Greater progress in farming has
been made in Northampton during tho
past ten years than had been made in
half q century before. This may
seem d radical statement, but We are
of the opinion it is easily proven. Our
farmers are just beginning to realize
the opportunities they have for be-
coming the most independent people
on earth. A great majority Of our
rIne have been land poor, trying to
cultivate too many acres. In a slip
shod way. and cultiVatIng none we'll.
They are now realizing that It pays to
plant fewer acres and cultivate more
thoroughly. Intelligent use Of COM
mercial fertilizer, also the growing or
legumes for the Improvement Of the
iand, is now practical by many far
mers. Our most progressive armer
10 longer use one formula Of fertilizer
for all crops, as was the custom Tor
several decade. Lands that a dozen
wears ago was considered worthless by
intelligent fertilization and cultivation
now produce as much or more than
the best lands a few years ago. This
part Of the Ole North state IS indeed
poisoning as Il rose.

The Dignity of Labor.

1t is very meet and proper that
Labor should have holiday dedi-
Gated to its cause, an annual occa-
sion when every pursuit of life must
pause to consider what labor means
to the world, the part the man who
tolls by the sweat of his brow plays
in industrial development.
Recognizing the rights and dignity
of labor, state by state leading up
to national action have set apart one
day in the year to pay homage to the
hosts who march under Labor's
standard.
Rock Island will be the scene of
a great Labor demonstration Mon
day. in which many cities will join.
There will be a triumphal procession
in the morning, followed by festivi-
ties at Exposition park in the after
noon and evening.
The Argus extends it's greetings to
the toilers on their own holiday and
wishes them the best kind of a well
deserved good time.

The Pap Dispenser.

So Postmaster General Hitchcock
is in Arizona and New Mexico, ac-
cording to a Chicago Associated Press
report, ''to start organizing the two
new states with a view of eIecting
four new republican United States
senator's" Meanwhile he draws his
salary and is supposed to be attend
ing to his duties at the postoffice de-
partment where, in consequence of
his prolonged absence, business of
Importance to the people will be
hung up awaiting his return. This
is evidently not a civil service re-
form administration. How could it
be, with Hitchcock as the active dis
penser of political pap? There is
a report in Washington that Hitch
cock bankers after one of these SEN
atorships from Arizona for himself,
and that he has been using the pa
tronage of the postoffice department
for that end.
1t is hardly probable, however,
that even a republican boss-owned
legislature would dare to elect a non
resident, and standpatter at that,
for United States senator.

RadicaIism to the Fore.

Colonel Roosevelt's Osawatomie
speech is the most radical utteranee
that radical of radicals has uttered.
He goes further than the most rad
ical insurgent. He out-Bryans Bry-
an and out-La Follottes La Toilette.
Such a speech delivered half a
dozen years ago would have been
called dangerous and its author an
anarchist. But times have changed.
Under Conservatism" the trusts
have waxed fat, corporation made
and unmade laws and boodlers
thrived.
The times call for action, radical
action. The trusts must be curbed,
corporations must keep out of poll
tics and boodlers must wear striped
suits. Only radical means can bring
this about and the radical Roosevelt
is splendidly equipped for the mighty
task.
More power to his strenuosity.

per cent, As of the 131 deaths and L.
455 of the 1928 injuries occurred in
cities of over $4,000
The decrease from 466 deaths in
1903 to 131 in 1910 is due to more in
telligent methods OF celebration, the
most marked decrease taking place in
states where the agitation for restric-
tive measures was strongest. Massa-
chusetts had this year only one-sev-
enth of the injuries it had last year;
Missouri, New Jersey and New York
reduced their injuries to one-third; Illi-
nois and Ohio to one-half; Pennsyl-
vania reduced it's injuries to two-thirds
of last years. Indiana Iowa and Wis
consin show larger totals than last
year. Pennsylvania is in the lead with
623 injuries followed by New York
with 327 and Illinois with 2S5. Last
year, the same three states had 9S6,S97
and SAC injuries respectively. For tnt
large cities Pittsburg and New York
city each reported six deaths. Chicago
and Philadelphia four deaths, Cincin-
natl and Milwaukee three and Wilkes
barre, Pa, two. For the first time in
no deaths and greatly reduced casual
ties. OF the non-fatal injuries, Phila-
delphia leads with 405, followed by
New York with 179, Milwaukee with 112
Chicago with 62, Cincinnati with 49,,
ST. Louis and Jersey City each Al and
Boston 35. A marked increase oc-
Cured in Milwaukee, Jersey City, Grand
Rapids, Mich, Des Moines, Iowa, and
Waterbury, Conn. Restrictive meas
ures were adopted by a number OF
cities with marked good results. Tren-
ton, N. J., adopted prohibitive ordi-
nance and reports no injuries. Cleve-
land, Ohio, which adopted a prohibit
tory ordinance two years ago, reports
only one injury. Washington has had
for two years a prohibitive ordinance
and a clean record. Baltimore adopt
ed a prohibitive ordinance and re-
ports only six injuries and no deaths.
The responsibility for the great ma
jority of Fourth of July injuries, the
medical authority quoted holds, rests
with the city governments. 1t is, there
fore, for the local authorities to de-
eide whether accidents, agonizing
deaths from lockjaw and burning to
death of little children by fireworks
shall be continued or not. Local ordi-
nances preventing the use of fire
works are practically impossible of en-
forcement, the only effective means
being the prohibition of the sale of all
dangerous fireworks.
In a number Of cities successful eff
forts have been made to substitute
better method of public celebration for
the use of the death dealing blank
cartridge and cannon f1re-cracker. Pub
lie celebrations, pageants, parades, pic
MICS and trips to the parks were some
of the means employed. The result is
evident in the smallest number of
cases of lockjaw and deaths from 9TH
er causes yet reported; fewer blinded
eyes, manned bodies and mutilated
hands

Tho Robber Grab.


In Central America there lives the
robber crab. OF almost incredible size
and somewhat resembling u huge spi-
der. The distance between its extend
ed claws is sometimes as great as
twelve feet 1t spends the greater
part of its life on land and climbs the
cocoanut trees. on the fruit of which
it lives almost entirely. 1t digs in the
ground deep tunnels and lines them
with cocoanut fiber When enraged
the robbcr crab can break a mans
limb with fits powerful claws. Ami
mails approaching 1t too closely often
receive an ugly pinch which they do
not soon forget, aud it is on record
that one OF these crabs has captured
and tried to drag Off goat. To open
cocoanut the robber crab removes
the bark from the end containing the
three eyes. one only of which is easily
penetrated. and, having found this, it
revolves the nut against the point of
one of its spindle legs until the open
ing is large enough for it TO insert its
great claw. With this it breaks the
shell. grinds the contents into small
pieces and carries them to its mouth.

The Fourth of July Injuries

Two thousand nine hundred and
twenty-three persons were injured in
the Fourth of July celebrations this
year, of which 131 died. Sixty-seven
of these deaths were due to tetanus
Qockjaw) following the injury while
81 deaths were the direct result of the
Injuries. OF the latter, 10 were killed
outright by fire arms, IL by explosive
powder, bombs or torpedoes, six by
cannon and other causes while &c per-
sons, mostly little girls, were burned to
death by fire from fireworks. These
are the results shown by the report
Of Fourth of July injuries published
for the eighth consecutive year by the
Journal of the American Medical asso-
citation. They show the APPALLING cost
of the present methods of celebrating
our great national holiday. Startling
as this is, it is the best record for the
country since 1908, when the Journal
first began to collect and publish a
record of Fourth of July injuries. In
that year, 4,449 persons were injured,
of which 4G6 lost their lives, 400 dy-
ing from tetanus. The grand total for
the eight years shows that, since 1903,
1885 persons have been injured as a
result of Fourth of July celebrations,
of which /, 662 died, 694 as the direct
result of injuries and 96S from tetanus
following injuries. One hundred and
twenty-five persons have lost their
sight, ISL have lost the use of one eye,
1872 have lost arms, legs and hands
and 1.541 have been crippled by the
loss of fingers. This is the cost in
human life and suffering of eight years
of Fourth of July celebrations.
The detailed figures for 1910 show
~ cases of Iockjaw, 81 of which were
fatal, seven persons lost their sight, 80

blank cartridges were responsible for

port shows that as a cause of tetanus

year for eight times as many cases as
all other causes put together. while

And go on with the wrecking.
That London bridge is falling down
