sons Liver-Tona Fails to Take
The Place of CaloMel

The E. T. Whitehead Company
drug store sells Dodson's Liver Tone
as perfect substitute for calon1el.
II you try enc bottle and find that it
is not just as sure in its action as
calo1nel and at the same time gent
Ter and without the bad after-elfects
Of calomel, please call and get your
money back. II will be given you
promptly Dodson's Liver-Tone is a
vegetable liquid with 3 pleasant
taste, that livens up the liver, mildly
but surely, instead Of whipping it
into action as the strong chemical
calcmel does. It is used by both
children and grown-ups for consti-
patton and inactive liver.
That is why the Z. 7. Whitehead
Company drug store is willing tc
guarantee it absolutely, not with
another bottle, but with your money
back. Isn't medicine with a guar
antee like this worth a trial?

REDUCE YOUR ACREAGE.

Let us each from this time be aware

pare.
We should be careful to fix every
Before we attempt a single seed to

After the seed are planted we should
rake and scratch,
To preyent weeds and grass from
overpowering the patch.
After the weeds and grass have been
properly killed,
Then our barns the beautiful harvest

One thought Of tae farmer which is
often forgotten
He will in spite of his word plant too
much cotton.
Less cotton and better corn yields
w Il reduce labor in our cotton aeloS.
| It is positive and true that the abund-
ancc Of cotton made
Is very plausible reason for the low
price in the cotton trade.
If we at once would reduce the acre
age twenty five per cent,
Then we would realize on the market
for every pound fifteen cent.
,
Add this per centage to the corn and
make it more,
Then every man would have plenty
corn at his door.
High price cotton and low price corn
Would make the farmer the hspples,
man born.
According to my prophecy corr
would be cheap,
Then we could afford to raise abund'
ance Of meat.
! Now we have the corn, cotton and
meat,
! Why should we humble at any mans

To the Liberty-Loving Citizens OF
North Carolina:
The next three months will decide
who will be the lawmakers OF our
State at the legislature OF 1913, and
! am moved to write this note OF
warming. All workers in temper
anca reform and others who have
had experience with the liquor trat-
fic will admit the following facts:
/. The liquor traffic is always at
work. 2. They know how to work
g. They prefer the Office holder to
the law, if they cannot have both.
Their method of procedure in
North Carolina just now is to con-
troll every office they possibly can,
and they will leave 40 stone untuln-
ed 10 nominate and elect represent
atives to the next legislature, who
will be friendly to their cause, Or at
least who will not take forward
step.
, Those who believe in temperance
reform must be as wise as the ere

through primaries and county con-
yentions to nominate ard elect tor

Iwant to advise all who feel that

BRIT0N WOULD RECLAIM
THE GARDEN or EDEN,
Sir William Willeoeks' Plan Would En-
tail s3o,ooo,ooo Expenditure.

Plans for the reclamation of the site
of the Biblical garden of Eden have
been completed by Sir William Will
cocks, who has estimated the cost Of
the undertaking Mt $30O0o,000 Speak
ing before the Royal Geographical soci-
ETY. in London, Sir William outlined
his scheme. His theory Is that the
actual garden lies in the vast tract
forming the delta of the Euphrates and
Tigris and that these two rivers must
be controlled by dikes and barrage.
"The Tie-is," says Sir William, "is
tile more difficult problem. Provision
ally I have suggested to the Turkish
government to sacrifice the left bank
of the river to the floods and to create
q very massive canal and dikes along
the right bank. On the other hand, an
escape could be constructed.
"If we could overcome the objections
of the Shammar Arabs we could utilize
salt pan southwest of Samara, in
which, as we have discovered. the
river Tarthar terminates. We should
have to raise the level of the Tigris
in food by eight meters, and the two
barrages and canal needed would cost
$30,000,O00.
"But there would be n splendid re
turn. The value of every acre of land
In the delta would be doubled; it would
be a godsend to Bagdad and allow the
Bagdad railway to traverse the cult
waited land instead of the desert
"The delta of the two rivers would
be richer than the delta of the Nile
and a safer place for the investment
of capital. Indeed, should say that,
as the Egyptians are so eager to re-
turn to the protection of Turkey, Eng
land would make a good financial bar
gain to exchange Egypt for Babyionia.
'The first direct irrigation works to
be carried out will be the Feluja and
Hindie barrages on the Euphrates and
the canals and drains dependent upon
them. On the Tigris the canals to irri-
gate the country northwest of Bagdad
viii be taken off above the proposed
barrages near Nimrods dam, which
are, l hope, TO provide the escape into
the Tarthar depression.
''The second barrage on the Tigris
will be made at KoOt, to convert the
Hal branch of the river into a perma-
nent canal. Farther down, at the
juncture, regulating work, dikes and
canals are proposed to reclaim the land
from Basra to Khor Abdalla."
