A robson FARMER.

(Whiteville News-Reporter.)
Last Thursday we had a call
from Mr.. n. T. Mclean, who IS
an up-to-date and successful farm
er near Rowland, in Robson
county. Mr.. Mclean has purchas-
ed the Spivey farm, near White
vile, which he gave to n of his
sons. He says that lands around
him sell for $Ioo or more per acre.
but Il Columbus land is lust as
good if opened up and improved.
He thinks there is a fine future for
our county and is particularly i'm
pressed with the educational adj
vantages Of Whiteville. It was be-
cause Of our school that he located
his son and grandchildren here.
MI. Mclean has 500 acres Of
fine land and says the crop outlook
is promising. He is also a raiser
of fine stock, and has a cross be-
tween a Poland China and Berk-
shire, having imported his brood
hogs.
In speaking Of the truck business
MIR. Mclean says he does not grow
any crop that must be sold RIGHT
away, at any price offered. He
grows corn and cotton and crons
that will keep. He says any farm
er who depends On truck crops. to
the neglect of staples, will sooner
! or later find himself broke. He

planted. But it took all the

TO HELP THE PROSPECTIVE
FARMER

The Chief Of the Bureau Ct
Plant Industry, DR.. B. I. Gal
loway, has called to the attention
OF the Secretary Of Agriculture
the increasing need for disseminat-
ing information which will be
helpful to the thousands of city
people and others who are en-
couraged to put their savings into
various land-selling, orchard-grov-
ing, crop-producing propositions
Owing to the extensive advertising
propaganda, any people with little
or no knowledge of agricultural
matters are being led to invest
money In projects which by no
reasonable chance al ever be made
to pay the profits claimed for them.
Secretary Wilson is very much in
terested in this matter and has IS
sued instructions that full data be
gathered IN order that the Depart
ment, through its publications and
correspondence, shall be in direct
position to aid those who have
been attracted by the promise Of
good Investments, but who would
like to obtain reliable facts before
taking action.

BROUGHT A SETTING HEN

(From The NoOresNiIle
Enterprlse.)

One Of the good women f
Mooresville called the attention. ct
the news man to an incident dat
was pulled off at this place on Die
mic day last month. A pair If
young counting couples meanderti
about over the picnic grounds IN
til they were quite tired out. and
finding a vacant surry, climbed
into the vehicle to rest. Shortly
after they had settled on their
perch, the owner Of the vehicle
came up and asked the couple in
the front seat to move in order that
he could get his feed box. When
he placed his hand under the seat
to pull the box out, he was startled
by a severe prick. in the flesh. lie
first thought n Of the young men
had put up a job on him. but upon
Investigation, found that one Of
his fine Rhode Island red hens had

the day, drop It absolutely WITH
the work. An occasional hour
may be lost safely, but there will
always be a penalty for persistent
robbing of the sleep which nature
calls for.
If your house has a veranda,
make a living room out Of it for the
summer; if no veranda, put down
a wooden floor or a few old rugs
on the ground at a convenient and
shady place outside the house and
practically live there. You can do
your sewing, mending, washing,
preparing of vegetables, and even
washing the dishes there. 1t may
require a few more steps to carry
things out, but it will also save
much of clearing up in the
house, and the improvement in
health will repay you twenty-fold.
But in this outdoor living room
you must have a r fitted over
a frame which will rest on a table
or other fat surface under which
you can place any vegetables,
fruits, etc, that you may wish to
leave set for a time, to prevent the
flies from lighting on the same.
Shun the fly as you would your
worst enemy. | wish to mention
here that it is the ~strictest economy
to get screens for your doors and
windows, SO you will be able to
keep your house free from flies.
Never allow water to be poured
near this outdoor living room, or
any refuse to be thrown around, as
these things may become produc-
tive Of a germ-breeding media.
Another factor in the cause of
disease in no small number Of
cases is rapid eating. Digestive
troubles of various kinds are very
prevalent in this age. Rush is one

Two of the most inexpensive and
important means to be used toward
this end are fresh air and good di-
gestion.
Residents Of the country some
times get the idea that because
their work frequently takes them
out doors for a few moments at a
time, they do not require to attend
to the ventilation Of the house, but
this is not the case. Never neglect
to get a good circulation of fresh
air through the rooms you live IN,

all means have the sleeping rooms

open in the summer and always
part way open in the cold weather.
Those individuals who are afraid
of fresh air in their sleeping rooms
deprive themselves of the very first
principle of health. Have fresh
air, but avoid draughts. If you
have two windows, have both open ;
if but one window, open it and
leave the door ajar, being careful
to place the bed where there will be
no draught. But should you be SO
situated that you cannot leave the
1oor open, then cren the window
from both top All bottom, as this
will assure a better circulation Of
air. A. hundred times rather
spend a little more on fuel if neces-
>arv than have doctor bills to pay.

HIS FIRST BOUT; ALSO HIS LAST
(SaturdaY Evening Post.l


Herbert Corey, the write: tells a
story Of an amateur pugili;t in a
small town out in Ohio who accepted
the invitation of visiting profession
al to meet all corners.
The local prodigy mounted TIE stage,
climbed through the ropes and gave his
rame to the announcer. As tie an
ncuncer was introducing him, the anna.
tour tugged away at his sleeve and
whispered something in his ear.
"Kid Binks desires me to stats, ,
said the announcer, "that this IS his
first appearance in any ring
He stepped back and the two men
squared off. The PROFESSIONAL ducked
a wild swing, led with his right and
knocked the amateur down with such
violence that he fairly spattered when
h. hit the flood.
The master of ceremonies stood over
the fallen one counting him out. At
eight the dazed youth got upon his
knees. At nine he spoke in husky
whisper to the announcer.
"Kid Binks also desires me- to say"
he said, "that this is his last appear

cur the first meeting of the voters of
Logan county's first evil town
ship organization, WHEN it's first
officers will be elected to hold until
the regular election provided by law,
takes place the coming March. The
meeting was held at the school house
on Sec. 22-135-73, known as the Kroeb-
er schol house.
The name Of the township is the most
appropriate one that could be selected
as it is named in honor of John e.

resident on the above described Sec
ton for more than a quarter of a CELL
fury last past and is one of Logan
county's few first settlers who Still

Roosevelt Lead.

Chicago, Jan. 4.-Political leaders
here expressed belief today that by
action taken late Saturday night Theo-
dore Roosevelt had been assured Of his
first two delegates to the Chicago con-
vention.
The move was made in the first ILL.,
inois congressional district which in
1908 was the initial one in the state
to take an open stand for the nomina-
ton Of President Taft and which for.
inally instructed delegates in his be-
half despite the strong movement for
Cannon. Saturday nights action
came at meeting of the precinct cap
tains of the district.
BY ballot the meeting declared that
the districts two delegates to the ma
tional convention be instructed for
Roosevelt.
Voting resulted as follows:
For Roosevelt, 119; Taft, 2; LaFol-
lette, /; Foraker, 2.
At least ninety per cent Of the COM
mitteemen, it is stated, will be re-
elected at the April primaries and will
repeat last nights action officially
when they meet to chose congressional
delegates who will designate the ma
tional convention delegates and will be
undoubtedly instructed for Roosevelt.

MAN NEARLY killed

Gackle, Jan. 24.-Christ Kroll had a
narrow escape from death while at the
elevator. It seems that different par
ties had called for feed corn and Christ
proceeded to supply them, but upon
starting the elevator only a portion
OF the corn passed through the shoot
and Mr.. Kroll went to find the trouble.
He jumped into the bin upon pyramid
Of frozen corn, the center Of which
had gone through the shoot, and as a
result fell into tho open space, thereby
breaking the corn loose and burying
him. The parties waiting for the corn
after discovered that Christ was buri-
ed, called for Simon Bieber at the
nearby elevator who soon got the vic
tim from under the corn. Christ was
jammed little and has been laid up
since, but is fortunate in no: having
any serious injuries. 1t was very for.
tunate that some one was there when
the accident happened or he would
have met terrible death.
