The Harvest Moon.
Chatham Record.)

Our esteemed Brother Phillips, of
the Greensboro Daily News, has re-
quested the Record to explain the
harvest moon and to tell when it will
get full. Accordingly, and in accor-
dance with our annual custom, we
will say that the harvest moon is
that moon that is full near the au-
tumnal equinox.
The peculiar phenomenon about
the harvest moon is that it rises i'm
mediately after sunset for several
consecutive days. This phenomenon
is owing to the small angle made by
the ecliptic and the moons orbit
with the horizon at this season OF
the year. 1t was first called the
Harvest Moon" by the farmers of
the North of England, whose har-
vests were gathered about this sea-
son of the year and the bright light
of the full moon for several consecu-
tive days enabled them to work long
er in gathering their harvests.

A Kansas editor announced he

truth and he is still in the hospital.
He didn't get by the first day. The
following item appeared in Mondays

out the paper. This is what he said:
Married, Miss Sylvia Rhode to

was an ordinary town girl, who
didn't know any more than a rabbit
about cooking and never helped her
mother three days in her life. She is
not beauty by any means and has

A Desirable AiIment.

A poor sailor, almost ruined by
drink, was induced to sign the pledge
for year. When the year was out,
he went and renewed it for life. He
had just received his wages, and had
the money in q bag in his inside
pocket, when he met the tavernkeep-
er at whose house he used to drink.
"Well, old fellow" said the tavern
keeper, chow do you do2"
Pretty WE'LL" said the sailor,
"only I've got hard lump on my
side"
"Oh" said the other, "it's cold wa
ter does that; if you'd drink some
good liquor, it would soon take the
lump away"
But" said the sailor, 81 have just
renewed the pledge for life, and can t
do it,"
'Then mind what say" said the
tavernkeeper, chat lump will go on
increasing and very likely before an
other year you'll have another on
the other side"

ing out his money bag and shaking
it. 'It's cold cash. ."-Exchange.

Prohibition Law Being Smashed.
burlington News.


The prohibition laws in this city,
and in fact every city in the State
are being smashed all to pieces.
Those who believe in law enforcement
are standing shocked and grieved at
the conditions. Some say that the
conditions can be remedied and that
the laws can be enforced, the officers
say that it is impossible. We don't
know. 1t looks to us like a police
man who has nothing to do but
watch and wait might put them out
of business, but they can do very
little until they have the co-opera-
tion of the citizens. When the public
sentiment and citizenship of a city
get busy, there will be something do
ing, but so long as the public depends
upon the officers to do it all there
will still be vic lation.

He Wouldn't Advertise.

Breathes there the man with soul so
dead,
Who never to himself hath said:
My trade of late is getting bad,
I'll try another eight inch ad'
II such there be, go and mark him well;
For him, no bank accounts shall swell.
No angels watch the golden stair
To welcome home the millionaire
The man who never asks for trade
By local line or ad. displayed,
Cares more for rest than earthly gain.
And patronage but gives him pain.
Tread lightly, friends, let no rude sound
Disturb his solitude profound,
Here let him live in calm repose.
Unsought except by men he owes,
And when he dies, go plant him deep.
That naught may break his dream!ess
sleep;
Where no rude clamor may dispel
The quiet that he loved SO well.
And that the world may know his loss.
Place on his grave q wreath OF moss.
And on stone above, Here lies
\ chump who wouldn't advertise"

RETURN OF "THE CLANSMANl." !"
Arrangement Complete For Local En-
gagement of Play,

gagement of Play.
After an absence of three years from
this section, the famous Thomas
Dixon success, "The Clansman,"" has
been given an elaborate revival for a
tour of the South this season.
News to this effect has just been
ascertained from Manager J. s. Poy-
thress of the Grand who states that
he has completed arrangements with
George H. Brennan, Manager of the
Southern Amusement Company, for
an engagement in this city on Tues
day, October 3rd.
An entirely new scenic production
has been provided for the big reviv-
al and the forthcoming performance
here will be an occasion OF unusual
Importance in theatrical circles.
1.-The Clansman" is too we'll known
in this city to necessitate lengthy
comment. Suffice it to say that the
coming revival will be the seventh
year of unprecedented success which
the great Southern drama has en-
joyed. Few plays can boast OF such
a record. "The Clansman" is the
only play of Southern life that has
won universal success and populari-
ty.
For the big revival of "Tbe Clans
man." which will be seen here at the
Grand, the Southern Amusement
Company has provided cast of ex-
cellent players. Clyde M. Shropshire
will appear as Ben Cameron, the
Clansman; Vivian DeWolfe as Elsie
Stoneman; Myron Paulson as Silas
Lynch, the negro Lieutenant Cover
nor, and in addition the company
includes the following: Thomas W.
Faber, Edith Mendoza, Isabelle Men,
doza, Harry Bartell, Thomas j.
Evans, S. W. McElroy, F. J. Hill,
James E. Ducan, J. d. Walsh, Blanche
Boyer, Gerald LaForest, and others.

LAST DIVIDENDS BY STANDARD
OIL.
uiaut Corporation Has Paid Szs2..
O00, 900 to Stockholders.

ufaut Corporation Has Paid Szs1..
100000 to Stockholders.
Stockholders OF the old Standard
Oil Company have received checks
representing the last dividends that
VIII be disbursed by the great cor
poratlon. Under the recent dicision
oil the Supreme court OF the United
States ordering the dissolution OF
the company the old organization
must be broken up before the end OF
the year. Consequently the final
dividend for the year will not be paid
by the old company. In the dissolu-
ton OF the parent concern the stock
holders are to receive stock in the
subsidiary companies equivalent to
their holdings in the old corporation.
1t Is not considered likely that the
stockholders will suffer any loss of
income with the change in organiza-
ton.
Since the organization of the Stand
ard Oil Company in 1882 down to
the final dividend paid today the
stockholders have received dividends
amounting to the enormous sum OF
1852, 100000. For the past eight
years the company has paid to the
holders OF it's 800, 100000 of stock
an average OF $40, 100000 per an
mum. In 1900 and 1901 it paid $4S,-
000,00 And in the year following
$45, 100000. The dividends, how
ever, were much less than the total
earnings. The original value OF the
property has been increased greatly
by the reinvestment of large share
OF the earnings for the extension OF
its business and the acquisition of
securities.
Although the Standard Oil Com
pany never issued an annual report
or made other returns regarding it's
business further than publication of
it's dividend, investors never lacked
confidence in it's ability to pay divi-
dends, and the high rate maintained
made the company's stock sell at
from four to six times it's par value.
The highest price ever reached was
in 1901. When it was paying 4S
per cent. per annum. The stock then
sold up to $S42 a share.

Here are some interesting figures
gathered from the corrected statistics
furnished by the Agricultural Depart
ment of the United States Government.
The value of the agricultural products
of the whole country last year was S.
926, 000,00 These are big figures.
Read them in English and they mean
eight billion, nine hundred and twenty
six million dollars. More than half of
these products were such as grow to
advantage in the South, that is to say,
corn, wheat, oats, barley and buck
wheat, flax seed, rice, potatoes, hay,
tobacco, cotton and sugar cane. OF
these products the fourteen Southern
Statas; Alabama, Arkansas, Florida,
Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mary
land, Mississippi, North Carolina, South
Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia
and West Virginia, gathered SO per
cent, their aggregate value being ST.
655, 9SS, 600. If Missouri and Oklahoma
be called Southern States, 1921, 1927, eco
may be added to the above figures.
These figures as compared with those
of the previous year show an increase
in the value of agricultural products of
over $500, 900, 900. Maybe after all, the
Southern boys are not deserving the
farms quite as much as we have been
thinking.

Spnngtine.

This is the season of Springtime. The
beautiful trees and the flowers
Wrapped in new clothes and in garments
green, refreshing to look at,
Unfold their tiny leaves and the buds
that recline on their branches,
Sending the sap and the life from their
roots to the uttermost tendrils.
First. as all things are, they are small
and tender and fragile,
They, like man, get tough and accus-
toned to their surroundings.
The leaves have grown to their fullest.
The wide-spreading branches now COW
cred in green
Sending their shade and their fragrance
sweet to all weary humanity,
Seem to signal to all to come and share
with them comfort,
Seem to beckon the tired ones under
their friendly protection.
Soft from the tree-tops we hear the
murmuring invitation,
And in answer we go, and spend many
hours in sweet comfort.
This is the flowers awakening. The
multiplied tints and colors,
: Perfect to every degree of art, for they
are painted by nature,
Stand like flowery beacons, that want
us to come and assist them,
Reckoning us onward with faces bright
and exultant.
Then, of some sick one thinking, who
lies on bed of languor,
Quickly we pluck their stems and take
them to cheer their bedside.
Ye who believe in the beauty of trees
and leaves and of flowers;
Ye who believe in the joy given by these
inanimate objects,
Read the lines above, not with the eye
of a critic.
But with an eye that o'erlooks all de-
fects and sdmires lover of nature.

of Democratic judges and newspapers.
II not, why didn't they insist upon an
investigation of the wholesale bribery
that prevailed in the Ninth last year?
The Times is really pathetic and ridic-
ulous in its confession of only partial
reform in the morals of the Virginia
Democracy. 1t claims that the Demo-
Gratis are only stealing from each other
and not from the Republicans under the
new constitution. What a wonderful,
what a strange reformation. 1t has set
aside the old time saying of "honor
among thieves" We have it from the
Times that the Democratic thieves now
steal from each other because they are
too good to steal from their political
enemies. Perhaps this partial reforma-
ton of the Virginia Democracy has
been caused by violent removal of the
necessity for stealing from the Repub-
licans, which was accomplished by I'M
fair constitutional and legislative enact
ments. Witness the disgusting parti-
san provisions of the new constitution
and the act of the legislature which out
ragged the Fifth Virginia Congressional
District. But this claimed partial
reformation is not substantial. The
present election laws have been so cum
ningly framed that ample opportunity
is given to commit frauds without de-
lection. This is the reason why no
hint was heard against any Democratic
official after the election last year in the
Ninth District. That many frauds were
committed the Republicans have every
reason to believe, but they were sc
masked under the internal election laws
that the Republicans could not detect
and expose them
We can never have honest elections
in Virginia until we have non-partisan
fair election laws. And Democrats will
not quit stealing from the Republicans
until the Democrats quit stealing from
each other. Your professed reforma
ton Mr.. Times is humbug.
