Kind of Man That Counts.

There is one man essential to the
welfare of this or any other town
The average every day citizen who
lives within his means, cares little
for social functions or society shin,
ing, who pays his debts, is the man
after all who is helping most to build
up this and every other town. He is
not only the kind of man who is
making this town but he is the man
who will keep it going. This fellow
about whom we are talking is the
salt of the earth. Sometimes he isIa
store keeper, q shop hand or day
laborer, sometimes he is a profes-
sional man. No matter what his
station in life; he is always on the
job and can be depended on.-Ashe-
borO Courier.

Invite Them In.

Two farmers were not long since
discussing their local newspaper,
says an exchange. One thought it
had too many advertisements in it..
The other replied: "In my opinion
the advertisements are far from
being the least valuable part OF it.
, | look them over carefully and save
at least five times the cost Of the
paper each week through the busi-
ness advantages | get from them. "
Said the other II believe you are
right know that they pay me well
and rather think it is not good taste
to find fault with the advertisements
after all. Those men have the right
idea of the matter. Itpays any man
with family to take a good local
paper for the sake of the advertise
ments if nothing more. And if busi-
ness men fail to give farmers a chance
to read advertisements in the local
paper. they are blind to their own
interests, to say the least of it. "You
never trade with me-" said a business
man to prosperous farmer. You
have never invited me to your place
of business and | never go where |
am not invited; [ might not be well
coined, was the reply.

Woman Cook For President Taft.

President Taft is probably the on
ly ruler who employs a woman cook.
The white house cook at the present
time has not been in the employ of
the president over a year, her prede-
cessor having married one of the
white house policemen several months
ago. The new cook is an Irish wo-
man and cooked for the Taft family
when they resided in Cincinnati She
is especially skilled in concocting
meals to suit President Taft, who is
rightly in favor OF all good, solid
food OF the kind thar our forefathers
ate. Tue salary cf the presidents
cook is not nearly as large as those
OF foreign rulers, but she does not
have as much work to attend to.
Mrs. Taft arranges all the menus, as
she takes charge OF the remainder OF
the households s duties.

Mr.. Leonard Tufts, president oil
the Capital Highway Association,
recently made trip from Pinehurst,
n. C., to Richmond, Va, a distance
of 273 miles. In a letter to the
Times Dispatch he describes the con-
dition of the various roads over
which he Travelled, and says the fol-
lowing about the roads in Vance
county:
'Starting from the Tar River you
go into Vance county, and whereas
the roads are not bad, they are far
from good, but are slowly being i'm
proved. The road passes through
kittrell and on to Henderson, about
twelve miles. Mr.. Cooper, of Hender-
son, tells me the county roads will be
much improved before this winter.
From Henderson, through Warren
ton for the next twenty-four miles,
the roads are not good, and unless
they receive attention pretty soon
they will be bad. We Travelled this
road in rain storm, and we got lit
tie pleasure out of it, but perhaps the
roads are better than ! have given
them credit for"

Influence of Advertising.

1t was newspaper advertisement
in sixty-one papers of the West that
changed congressional sentiment
over night and resulted in a definite
choice by the national legislators of
San Francisco over New Orleans az
the place for the Panama Exposi.
tion in 1915.
''It is doubtful if there is on record
more trenchant and power-com-
pelliug advertisement than this
writes s. c. Lambert, in Printers
Ink, (which, although sent by tele-
graph at late stage in the fight,
awoke the united fighting spirit OF
the West, and created a tidal wave
of over 100000 letters and tele-
grams that surged in upon Wash
ington, swamped its telegraphic fa-
cilities and reversed the action OF the
committee on industrial arts and ex.
position, which had reported favor,
ably to New Orleans, nine to six.

Poison Files With FormaIin

Thousands of house flies are being
killed in Raleigh every day by what
is known as the formalin treatment.
The druggists of that city are selling
formalin by the gallons. Many Of
the Raleigh housekeepers are using
the poison On the front and back
porches in order to get the flies that
are waiting te enter the house when
ever the doors are opened. This
poison acts very successfully in un-
screened kitchens and dining rooms.
Wherever flies are numerous the
formalin gets them by the thousands.
Directions for the use OF this remedy
are as follows: One tablespoonful
OF formalin in one-half pint cupful of
equal parts milk and water. Ex-
pose this poison mixture in shallow
plates, wherever flies are numerous
Place piece OF bread in the center
OF the plate to furnish a place for
the flies to feed. The result in dead
flies is said to be wonderful.

The Durham county officials are
getting in after the big tax-dodgers
over that way and seem to be de-
termined to bring them to head-taw
and make them quit Judging in the
annual game of listing property for
taxation. For this timely action
the Durham county officials deserve
and will receive the hearty commen-
dation of all truthful and honest citi-
zens. If the poor man fails to make
proper returns of his scanty earthly
possessions, he is mighty apt to find
himself in the hands Of the grand
Jury in short order, and there should
be no discrimination between the
rich and the poor in such matters.
But now and then you will find a
man of more or less wealth who
seems to think he has a special IL
cense to falsify his returns and there
By escape his just and equitable
share of the burden of taxation. AL
such fellows need to be taught les
son that would undoubtedly make
better and more useful citizens out oi
them.

Laugh is on the Men Now.

uncomfortable fashions in dress, but
heat-ridden victims now declare that
men, too, are victims of foolish con-
ventionalities and the women may

but somebody ruled against them

any, lighter than that which pro-

Panama Canal to Open in 1915.

The date when the Panama canal
will be opened is set officially for
January l, 1915, but the work OF
excavation possibly will be complet-
ed much earlier. OF course, if slides
in Culebra cut continue, it may take
the full time to finish the excavation
there. But if they are not greater
than now anticipated the work will
be we'll advanced towards the finish
ing touches in three more years. The
contracts fer the installation of the
operating machinery call for its com
pletion in time that the canal can be
tried out by the end OF December,
1913, and unless unforeseen delays
occur in the manufacture OF the
equipment the canal will be ready
for emergencies before the fixed open
ing date.

Found q Centipede.

Mr.. Hallman Fink captured a cen.
tipede on the floor OF his kitchen yes
terday and brought it to this office
where it has created no little curiosi-
ty. 1t is a small one, about three
and half inches in length and re.
sembles the thousand leg worm but
is larger and has a different shaped
head. 1t has twenty-one pair OF
legs, four pairs OF eyes and seventeen
joints. Their bite is quickly fatal to
insects and is very painful and dan
gerous to larger animals and tC
man. They feed largely on insects
and pursue them into their lurking
places and for this reason they are
regarded in some places as more use
full than injurious. So far as is known
this is the first centipede ever discov

AMERICAN TOBACCO COMPANY
Submits Plan of Reorganization to
Attorney General Wickersham.

1t is understood that the American
Tobacco Company, through it's at
torneys, has submitted to Attorney
General Wickersham tentative
plan under which it proposes to re-
organize in conformity with the re-
cent decision of the Supreme Court.
1t will be remembered that the COM
pany was ordered by the Supreme
Court to change it's present form of
organization so as to conform to a
certain standard that had not here
tofnre been clearly defined. This
pan OF organization was to be sub
mitted to the Circuit Court OF Ap-
peals and to Attorney General Wick
ersham for approval.
Immediately after the recent decis-
ion was handed down it was said
that the attorneys for the company
had at once gone to work to form b
plan of reorganization that would
conform to the requirements of the
Sherman antitrust law as defined
by the Supreme Court. This plan, it
is now stated, has been completed
and submitted to Attorney General
Wickersham for his approval. But
it will not be submitted to the board
of directors of the company, it is
said, until the Attorney General
passes upon it. II he approves the
plan, it will then be submitted to the
board of directors and then to the
Circuit Court. No details of the plan
will be given out untilit has been ap-
proved by all parties concerned.
Much interest centers in the final
plan OF organization to be adopted.
This plan will serve as a model for
the organization OF all the other
large corporations throughout the
country which are engaged in inter-
state commerce.

Catching Husbands.

How to get married seems to be a
question with many girls and ladies.
1t is a timely question. They ought
to think more seriously of it. Hav-
ing no experience they make mis-
takes. These mistakes last for life,
too. Often they shorten life. It is
all right to dress neat and stir
around. That, alone, though won't
do. Fine dressing and "sassiety"
airs are good bats to catch suckers
cigarette suckers-dudes and fel-
lows dependent upon their "daddies"
for clothes, rations and bedding.
But for sensible folks, they hardly
fool them. Smiles and flowers for
the sick and poor on the streets at
tract more real love than having a
gay time on the streets and ring
jawing chewing gum. Then helping
mother and being respectful to
father catches more sensible people
than fine dress or even college edu-

The Raleigh News and Observer
says that the people OF West Raleigh
held a meeting last week to organize
Fight-the-Flies Club. They have
studied the danger to health in these
pests and had the privilege of hear.
ing an address by Dir. r. |. Smith,
EntomOlogist of the North Carolina
State Experiment Station, who has
given study and practical tests to
the subject OF breeding of aies and
also the best way to poison flies,
dis address has borne fruit. In one
place in West Raleigh, by the use OF
lormaldehyde as suggested by DR..
Smith, one and half quarts of dead
flies were picked up in a place where
the flies were particularly bad. He
says that there are several successful
tiy poisons that can be bought in
any community and we have learned
quite recently that formaldehyde is
one of the best and cheapest poisons
that can be used. This costs about
fifty cents pint and one Tablespoon
full in cup full, one-half milk and
one-half wsstefa ~ all that is neces-
sary, and should be exposed in shall
low plates. 1t is Well to put piece
OF bread in the plate. This poison
is most successful if used in places
where flies are very numerous, such
as milk rooms, back porches where
refuse is often placed, or around the
kitchens.
When attempting to poison flies,
it is best to use the poison outside of
the building as we'll as inside. Flies
can often be poisoned by the hun
dreds On porches where they are
waiting to enter whenever the door
is opened.
We will never succeed in greatly
lessening the house-f1y nuisance by
simply poisoning or trapping the
flies, but whenever people become in
terested enough to prevent flies from
breeding they will find that little
additional work towards killing off
the flies by the use of poisons, sticky
hy papers, traps, etc, will be worth
the trouble.

other day, paid his respects to that
dissatisfied element Of America 8
population that would like very
much to exchange the graceful femi-

vote and perform many other mas
ruline functions, when he gave spec
ial emphasis to his candid opinion
that the proper place for every true
woman is in the home, and that no
such woman even wants to vote.
Cardinal Gibbons has thus, in a very
brief sentence, voiced the unbiased

table, $265 for a wardrobe, $4S3.75
for one rug and 5000 for draperies in
