Marked Difference in SkTns

An importing firm recently received
a shipment OF t~iger~cat skins from
Paraguay and the Argentine Republic,
and placed alongside a lot of North
American wildcat skins the difference
in color and markings was very no
ticeable. Both animals are OF about
the same size, but the South American
cat Is covered with round black spots
much like those of the leopard, but
smaller in size. These spots contrast
strongly with the surrounding fur,
which Is Of a grayish white color, very
different from the reddish color OF
the North American wildcat. The fur
Of the South American wildcat Is not
so thick as that of his North Ameri-
can cousin, but the skins are said to
dress well and make good robes and
rugs.-Fur News.

CAT MUST NOT BE STRUCK
Other Method Of Punishment 10 REQ
commended by m Authority on
the Subject.

1t isn't q very nice task to punish
pussy II you're fond of her, but there
are times when she must be chas-
tised. This is how to do it, according
to Louis Vain, the great authority ON
the fascinating feline.
In the first place. don't actually
strike the cat. A blow merely numbs
it. And when the spine, which is it's
most sensitive part, is struck-par-
ticularly If the cat is old-it Is likely
to spring at the striker.
When pussy does anything wrong.
Brighten the ~wrongdoer by striking q
stick IN the ground. A cat is most
sensitive to sounds, and will connect
this new noise with what 1t has done.
1t feels more intensely than most ami
mails; hence its supposed savagery in
cases. Cats are highly electrical, and
it is very good to have one perch on
ones shoulder or knees.

A BASIC DUTY OF EVERY AMER.
ICAN CITIZEN.

The Democratic machine has mn,
upon the statute books of our State
a trick law to rob the people of their
votes. One of the provisions of this
law is that every man who does NOT
pay his poll tax before the first of
May will be disfranchised. Such a
provision is not only unjust but it is
absurd; but since this is the law. we
must comply with it or be disfran-
chised.
NOW, have you paid your poll tax?
III you have, have all of your neigh
bors paid their poll tax? If not. Won
can do the Republican party and the
cause of good government the great
est service by seeing each one of your
Republican neighbors in person and
having him pay his tax before the
nrst of May. If every reader of The
caucasian will act on this suggestion
at iedsI from nVe to ten thousand Re-
publican votes can be saved.
We have splendid opportunity r.
carry the State this year, and the
five or ten thousand Republicans who
nave not paid their poll tax might he
the margin to redeem the State. II
is easier to save these votes than -
is to secure that many extra re-
cruits.
State Chairman Morehead ia ron
oerlng his party a great service nv
the thousands upon thousands of let
ters that he is writing on this suh-
1ect' but each individual In each vot-
ing precinct has also his duty to Der
form in seeing that every one of b;s
nelghbors has complied with the law
Don't delay this matter a single
DAY! See to it that every single vot-
er defeats this Democratic trick nv

CONGRESSMEN AS ATTORNEYS
FOR CORPORATIONS.

Congressman Randall of Texas has
introduced a bill in Congress making
1t unlawful for any Congressman to
accept employment as attorney from
public service corporations or any
other corporations doing an interstate
business. 1t is reported that a num-
Der of his colleagues tried to pre-
vent him from Offering this bill. Con-
gresham Randall, in explaining his
bill, said that there was a necessity
for such law because it was evident
that a very large number of his col
leagues in the House were the reeu-
larly retained attorneys of corpora
tions whose actions should be reeu-
lated by Congress.
This speech raised a great howl
among his Democratic colleagues in
the House, and many of them are
bitterly denouncing his bill and his
speech, though it is noticeable that
none of them have risen to declare
that they are not attorneys for such
corporations. Indeed, the fierce and
angry howl and denunciation which
MT. Randall has stirred I'D seems to
show that he has struck a tender
spot.
1t would be interesting to see some
one offer such a bill in the North
Carolina Legislature It would raise
big howl in the Legislature of
this State as Mr.. Randal1s hill ba.
raised in Congress. 1t is no news
however, in this State that the last
Democratic Legislature was complete
y dominated by the trusts and the
corporations in this State.

MANUFACTURING NITROGEN
FROM THE AIR.

In another column We publish an
article giving an account OF an cleo
tro-chemical factory being put up In
South Carolina for the purpose OF
manufacturing nitrogen from the at
mosphere. If this can be done and
the nitrogen can be produced cheap
enough, IL will make a wonderful
revolution in agriculture, especially
in the South Atlantic States, where
the soil Is largely wanting in nitro
gen.
Nature has given to the farmer the
cowpea and other plants which, when
planted, themselves breath the air
through their leaves and take the nj
trogen from the air and deposit it
in the roots of the plant. This is
why the planting of cowpeas i'm
proves poor sandy land.
While We trust that the South
Carolina experiment may be a sue
cessful imitation of natures labora
tory, yet we would advise our farm
ers not to wait for the success of this
experiment but to plant every avail
able piece of land in cowpea hay.
