fortune but the surest and quickest
way is through a mind empowered
with knowledge and will to EN-.
ploy that knowledge in a mostecon-
omical way. If one man has ac
qulred the art of doing a certain
piece of work with half the exertion
that Is employed by another man,
1t Is no problem at all to arrive at
the conclusion that the one will reach
the goal OF success while the other
Is wearing out his body and mind
over the perplexing problems with
when he must deal in vast success
ION Of experiments. A certain
amount of experiment is necessary
In any calling, but when the whole
hfework Of any man must be ex-
pended in blind experiment, his sue
cess, if he is successful, is more
from luck than from any well laid
plans known to the science of doing
things.
We often see the man with ener-
gy and initiative lacking the science
and sometimes we see the man who
has the knowledge lacking in ener.
gy or initiative, or both. The man
with energy aud initiative can ac.
quire the science, but it is extreme
ly difficult for the man who has the
science to acquire the other necessa
ry attributes. Energy is born with
the man, initiative comes by expert.
ence and science is acquired by deep
study and sober thought. The sue
cessful men Of the future will have
this trinity, else they will not be 50
capac!tated as to engineer the accum
ulated wealth of the country in order
that the talents gained already may
gain others besides. The accumula-
ton possession is only the saving of
time. Every building that stands
out loftlly against its surroundings
represents so much time saved and
placed to the credit of the future,
Science has made this accumulation
possible. In olden times wealth
was acquired through the most siren
uouS Of labor. The giants of old
had to fight for living while to-
day science has taught the sons of
men to employ giant machinery to
work for them.
The days of apprenticeship be
long to the decades that are gone.
While the school of experience is
no less factor today than formerly,
yet science has done away with the
necessity for so much experimental
effort. The men of the future
must have a mind to acquire and
hold the theory and sense enough
to cit, The ngineer has proven
that a bridge does not have to bt
built across a stream to see whether
1t will stand the test. He finds ou'
beforehand. SO it is with the mar
that knows how. He finds out
what needs to be done knows how
to do it, and thereby saves loss Of
time and materials in doing some
thing that may stand the test and
that may not. The man that has
saved up his time fol the future Ger
tainly wants it handled by a mar

The Austrailaa Ballot.

~>SssS sAsS VsvsS~ssf 4
The legislature Of North Caro-.
lima will soon convene, and there
are many questions of mote or
lpas local Importance to come be-
fore it, but in the opinion of The
Citizen, one that syltally affects
the welfare Of the state generally
is the question Of the Australian
ballot. This paper has already
drawn attention to this TACT sew
eral times, and it has urged the
representatives of,this communi-
ty to leave no stone unturned to
secure the passage ofsuch Il law.
The Citizen is advocating the
adoption Of the Australian Bal
lot law because the interests OF
the state demand it. Its passage
will work no injury to any pa r.
ticular party, but it will certain
ly initiate against the part y
which is in the minority and
therefore stands in need of any
artifce which will help it's cause.
As many times stated in these
columns, there is absolutely no op
portunity for fraud to operate
under the system for which We
are urging consideration. 1t elm
mates the "foateT". because no.
body will approach him when his
field is wiped out Of existence.
Democrats, in particular, hays
nothing to lose by theenactmeut
of a law adopting the, Australian
ballot. On the contrary, tn ey
have everything to ogain-by rea
son of the fact that since thev,
aa a party, have no need of frau
dulent methods to win their bat
ties, they can witness with salts
faction and profit the removal
Of their main danger in time O
election-ths use of "boodle." Ir
every state where the Australi
an ballot law has been adopted
| it has produced beneficial results
Both OF the great political par
ties unite in voring its praises
and there is no reason in h {
world Why North Carolina should
mot enroll itsel under the hanne
of the greatest reforming ageuc,
in the political world. The Oh
North State has within her bor-
ders communities fully Az intelli
gent as those OF any other s"c'
tion OF the country. From he
educational institutions h a v {
graduated men of more than or
dinary genius, and it should no
l,e said that this state is not con
petent to take care OF a system
of voting which has appealed tt

its human enemies, officers ol the
national Association ofAudubon
Societies are to-day perfecting
pla IS to combat the commercial

states. Men and money are to be

forests from destruction 10y in

tion OF Audubon Societies is pre-
pairing to meet the commercial
blrd.killers before every lpgisla-
ture in the land. Special funds
are being raised to send ornitho
logical experts to answer the law
yers hired to break down bird
protective laws in many States.
Organizations of sportsmen az

1t is a fact that but for the &C.
tivlties of the Audubon Society
in the recent past, the partridge
would have been a practically ex
tinct bird in North Carolina. The
Audubon Society is the bestfriend
the farmer has. As We remem.
ber it, the last Legislature was
pestered oyermnch by the North
Carolina Audubon man, but the
Legislature took a rather firm
grip on the situation. notwith- :
standing. and we hope that at
the next session it will hold it.

The Champion Boy Farmer.

The Champion Boy Farmer.
Monroe Journal,
Jerry Moore, Of WinoDa, Flor.
ence county s. G., is one OF the
notablps OF earth. He is only
fourteen years old, and yet has
become famous, his name having
appeared in every newspaper OF
any note in the United States,
says the Newberry Reporter. He
made 228 bushels of corn on
one acre. That was q great a.
chievement, surprising anything
ryer accomplished by a boy, and
only excelled by Mr.. Drake, OF
Marlboro, who some years ago
mnde 258 bushels. But the boys
feat was greater than the man g,
for Mr.. Drake went to so much
expense to get his large yield
that he made nothing out Of it
but a reputation. while the boy
made both q reputation and a
good profit.
If the man is q henefactor who
makes two blades OF grass grow
where only onpgrew before, what
is to be said of the boy who
makes 228 bushels grow where
only about twenty bushels is an
average?
Jerry Moore had an exhibition
of his corn at the South Allan
tic Corn Exposition in Columbia
last week. and it attracted a
great deal OF attention, as he
did also incidentally. Those who
saw him say he does not appear
to be at all spoiled by the lame
that had come to him, but is a
quiet, modest boy in knicerbock'
ers, polite and self-possesred, but
with ! sign OF the big head.
Here is the plan by which he
cultivated the acre OF land: The
crop was raised On light gray
sandy uplands; top soil 3or 4 in
ches deep, with yellow sub-soil;
old land nearly level, on which
cotton was grownin 1909. Young
Moore says during the first of
last March he spread 800 one
horse wagon loads Of rich dirt
on this acre, following it with sc
one horse loads ofstable manure
scattered broadcast. March 25
the land was broken with Dixie
plows, one following the furrow
of the other. breaking 10 or II
inches deep. March 20,h harrow
ed and layed off in rows 3K feet
wide with guano in furrow and

THE PONY ExpRFss.

Historians Of the frontier tell
many remarkable stories Of ad-
venture OF the pony express rid.
ers who blazed the westward way
for settlement. Among t h ese
there is no story more thorough.
ly typical, though there may be
other stories more remarkable,
than that Of a young rider who
was assigned to the important
task ol carrying overhis division
a large sum Of money. IN that
mysterious manner known only
to the frontier lite the news of
this valuable message was spread
abroad The rider realizing the
danger ofhis trust, fastened this
money to the underside OF his
saddle blanket and consigned in
it's stead heavily padded envel-
opes in the saddlebags. Garry.
ing his revolver ready for instant
use, this rider raced in the face of
certain danger. In a lonesome
spot in n valley, in spite Of his
nerve and expectations, he was
startled by being confronted by
two men who sprang out fir
the shrubs to salute him with the
words: "Hold! Handsup, Pony
Express Bill, for weknow yer, my
boy, and what ye're car,'in'."
"l carry the express, and it's
hanging for you two if you inter-
fere with me-" was the plucky re-
spone.
"Ah, We don't want you, Billy,
unless yer force us to call in yer
checks, but it's what yer carry

get the pouch, for there isn't any
thing valuable in it,"
I've are to be the judges OF
that, 80 throw US the vnluables

The rider was covered. "Mark
my word, men, you'll hang for
this" he said as lie unfastened
the pouches. If you will have
them, take them. "he cried. With
this he hurled the pouches at the
head of one OF the men, who dod.
ged and turned to pick them up
Instantly the rider fired upon
the other with his revolver IN his
left hand. The bullet shattered
the mans arm. Driving t b e
spurs into the flank OF his mare,
the express rider drove directly
over the man who was stopping
to pick up the pouches. The fal.
len man, though hurt by the

to his feet as soon as he could,
