ST. etching Some.

Suppose we were to state as the
truth the following little incident
that we were told happened in
this county recently, how many
would at once say, Jaw, he won
the Mendacity Medal?' Any
way, here goes. A man living in
this county had a wagon which
was loaded rather heavily that
he was trying to get to the top
of a steep hill. The traces broke
but as a rain storm was coming
up he had no time to get new
traces and as q substitute he
quickly cut a pair of long traces
out Of rawhide. just as the
horse began pulling, the rain dec.
ended, but the horse kept on 60
ing. When the animal reached
the top OF the hill, the wet raw
hide had stretched and stretched
but the wagon remained at the
foot OF the hill. Astonished but
not to be outdone, the man un-
hooked horse, fastened the ends
of the raw hide traces to q tree
in his yard and when the sun
came out next day the raw-hide
began to shrink and shrink until
by night the wagon was actually
drawn to the the top OF the bill!

On the morning of June the
25th'the Death angel visited the
home of Mr.. and Mrs. Esther
Setter, of CollettsvIlle, Caldwell
county, and bore away the sweet
spirit OF little Jettie to the para
disc of God. Though she had liy-
ed but a year and one day. she
had become the idol of her pa
rets' hearts. To see her was to
love her, yet the allwise God saw
fit in His great wisdom to pluck
the flower Of this home and trans
plant it 10y the River OF Lille,
where the flowers bloom forever,
and the sun is always bright. So,
weep not, dear parents. for your
darling is safe in that land that
is free from sorrow and pain.

An Interesting Percentag ..

The "back-tO- -the-farm" and
"staying-on.the-farm' m O v e.
ments have come none too soon
and cannot be too aggressively
pushed. Statistics made public
this week by the census bureau
indicate that over 46 per cent of
the people of the people OF the
United States live in towns OF
$500 or more inhabitants-in
other words are consumers aud
not producers from the viewpoint
OF food supply. Man'sconquest Of
the whole arabic surface OF the
| globe and his ever.increasing
knowledge of agricultural pro-
gress have lessened the danger oi
the shortage Of provisions, but
in the ultimate analysis he Us an
animal needing food and the
question of its convenient sup
ply has just as genuine it 40
quite so dominating an influence
upon his fortunes as 1t had five
or six thousand years ago when
the rich Tlgris- Eupherates and
Nile valleys were inhabited by
teeming hordes primarily because
they were adapted to agricul-
ture.
| Considerations like these show
the tremendous Importance ol
the agricultural awakening which
is observable throughout t h
country just now. We must build
up good rural schools, We must
built up good rural highways,
we must emphasize improved
agricultural methods, not only
for the intrinsic advantage such
advances wilf carry with them
but because it is of vital interest
to North Carolina-and to other
States as well-that the boys
and girls who are pupils IN oul
country schools should find farm
life more attractive than the al
lurements OF the city.-Charlotte

Iredell County has Woman Deputy
sheriff.

1
SheiiH.
Statesville Landmark.
A Birmingham correspotdent
OF the Memphis Commercial Ap-
peal says that Sheriff Brooks of
Calhoun county Alabama, b a 8
appointed Miss Gertrude Hpnd.
rix, OF Anniston, Ala, a deputy
sheriff, and boasts that she is
the only young woman occupy
ing the position OF deputy sheriff
oil OF which might he true il Ire.
dell county was not a part of the
South. This county has had a
lady deputy sheriff ever since last
November when Miss Mcbride
jenkins, daughter of Mr.. an d
Mrs. ID. F. jenkins, ofStatesville,
was sworn in as such. She has all
4
the authority of all the deputies
OF the other sex, but she has not
rome into the public eye because
she has not made any arrests.
Neither has Miss Hendricks made
an arrest.
! Like Misc Hendricks Ol Ala
bama, Miss Jenkins principal
duties are in the Office of t h e
sheriff Here it is that She "keeps
shop" and keeps order, and trans
acts the business OF the Office
just about as we'll as anybody
could do. She does not sarry q
revolver, as does the Alabama
lady, but she keeps one handy in
the Office and has on occasions
guarded prisoners in the office
And further she has several times
done what is claimed for the Ala.
bama lady, VIZ: She has guarded
booze which was seized by the of
ficers and placed in the sheriff i
Office for safe keeping. Sheriff
Deaton never has any fear OF the
booze being "reseized" when left
with the lady deputy, but this
can't always be said of the depu'
ties of the male persuasion, who
are more given to yielding TO
temptation.
While she has never made an
arrest, Deputy Jenkins went with
Sheriff D-aton AMI other officers
to north Iredell after a bad block
ader. The trip was made in the
sheli ifs auto, and with lady in
the machine the party dil not
attract attention, the natives
not suspectiug that it was apar.
ty OF officers, and friends OF the
violators of the law didn't get
alarmed.
The correspondent, writing OF
the Alabama deputy says she is
"studying the niceties of the sta
tutes in their application to
bridge parties and to spiked
punch at afternoon teas. She
will also visit theatres and pic.
ture shows in the capacity OF cen
sor to suppress things when they
get too broad, and she says she
will see that proper limits are
strictly observed by both and ca
pecially in chorus features" Miss
Jenkins has not yet been assig-
ned to any work ofthls kind, but
there s no reason why she should
not he, and the bridge players
and thea ter folks had better
walk straight And because she
has not done so in the past is nc
reason why Miss jenkins is not
going to carry a revolver and q
pair OF handouts in the future,
and she has nerve enough to put
them into use should it be neces
sary.
Other claims for the Alabama
deputy are that she is good look
ing and has q musical, Southern
voice. People sho frequent the
sheriff's Office, and especially
some OF the "court house ring
are free in saying that they are
ready to compare "cur lady de
putty" with the Alabama deputy
in these particulars and are SURE
