Production. of Mica.

For many years North Carolina has
been the largest producer of mica in
the United States. according to the
United States geological survey. Prior
TO 1895 the output came chiefly from
the larger mines and consisted of big
sheets of fine quality. At that time
large quantities of small sheet mica
that would cut plates less than three
inches square were thrown on the
dumps as waste. After the small
sheet and scrap mica became valuable,
the dumps at the large mines were
worked over and the quantity of mica
produced was thereby greatly in
creased. Now that most of the
dumps have been worked over and
only few large mines are in opera
ton. the output is barely maintained
by a large number of small mines ana
prospects, probably as many as
hundred Many Of these are worked
by the mountaineer farmer and miner
at times when cops are laid by, ana
occasionally one of the prospects de-
velops into large deposit.-Geologi-
cal Survey.

Ignore Pankkurstisn.

The small audience drawn by the
British criminal suffragette. Mrs.
Pankhurst, in Madison Square Gar
den. New York, Tuesday night. is a
gratifying tribute to American COM
mon sense. The real suffrage move
ment cannot afford to be in any way
identified with such criminals as the
McNamaras, Harry Orchards and Mrs.
Pankhursts.
The rapid strides that the American
woman suffrage movement is making
should stand as splendid testimony
against fire, acid-throwing and hun
ger-striking methods advocated by
such as Mrs. Pankhurst and her fool
followers.
To fully identify the universal suf-
frage crusade now held in splendid
respect in America. with the criminal
suffragette lawlessness in England,
would mean the end of woman sur
frage progress in this country Tor
half century at least.
Let real Americans neither give en-
couragement in money or by their
presence at the Pankhurst meetings
TO an unholy, criminal and disgraeeiui
campaign against a country whose
government the world respects ana
whose leading minds are competent TO
settle the problem of suffrage

forcement of law and decency? And
do they not in every form and on
every possible excuse, root for the
rum business? Do not these leaders
and organs preach personal liberty
in which they picture the poor fool of
booze buyer as the victim of
"sumptuary" law? Do they not al
ways contend that any man has the
right TO make a fiend of himself at
any time, regardless of the rights of
others?
The personal liberty" of booze
buyers, according to liquor interests
promoters, is vastly more important
than the personal liberty of Chris

business and do not care to be in
suited, abused, shamed, assaulted or
murdered by the rum trusts personal

Some Farmers Wives and Some
Earmers


Farmers.
read Mr. Elvin's entertaining let
ter, regarding farmers wives, in the
Journal of Oct. Is. Judging from his
letter | think | can describe his idea
of what farmers wife should be. Be-
sides doing the homework for n FAM
lily of children, hired man, and her
lord and master, she should bring wa
ter. firewood, feed the chickens. ride
the horserake, and then if she has any
spare time, hoe the garden Accord
ing to Mr. Elvin this woman consti-
tutes his ideal farmers wife, in fact
an angel And she soon would be, be-
lieve me.
Now a word about the suffra gettes,
do not approve of the methods
adopted in England but If MIR. Elvin
will give one good reason why the
American women should not help
make the laws they are obliged to live
under ! should like to hear it.
In regard to a few farmers with
whom I am acquainted. If the saddle
doesns fit, Mr.. Elvin needn't wear it.
Some farmers consider that sulky
plows. riding harrows, cutivators,
manure HioWiIlS
and so forth are absolutely necessary to
them, regardless of the fact they cost
money. Meanwhile the wife is permit
ted to carry water year in and year
out when SIS or 20 and little elbow
grease would dig a ditch and place
brand new pump in the kitchen sink.
She also makes butter, Is to 20 lbs. per
week, working it by hand when a but
ter worker costing So would tighten
the burden 50 per cent. She does the
family washing in the old-fashioned
way Because his mother did and
what was good enough for her is good
enough for anyone" She still brings
in the fire wood that he, poor hard
working man, has fitted with gaso-
line engine.
Now I will describe real farmer
and his wife. He prepares his land,
properly fertilizes- it. plants his crops.

takes good care of his cows and horses.
feeding them WELL At the present
time he is getting SO a barrel for APP
pies. $50 per bushel for potatoes. s.1l
a III. for round hog, $.35 for butter, s.36
To $40 per dozen for eggs and so on.
He is getting good pay for his labor,
a fair return on his money invested
and a remaining sum for improve
mepts and so forth. His wife comes
in for her share as she certainly
should. he treats her as companion
instead of slave. Among these farm
ers YOU will find happy wives, Well
fed children brought up in the right
manner and well schooled. 1t won

of his own town or even neighborhood

and their wives. u

Maine Gossip
If We Knew.

Could we but draw back the curtains
That surround each others lives,
See their naked heart and spirit,
Know what spur the action gives:
OFTEN we should find it better,
Purer than we judge we should
We should love each other better,
If we only understood.
Could we judge all deeds by motives,
See the good and bad within,
Often we should lofe the sinner,
All the while W. loath, the sin.
Could we know tie powers WORKING
To overthrow integrity
We should judge each others eri 1rs
With more atien- eh3fity.
If we knew the care and trials,
Knew the effort all IN Haln,
And the bitter disappointment.
Understood the loss and gain:
Would the grim external roughnesS
Seem. l wonder, just the same?
Would we help where now we hinder!
Would we pity where we blams?
All, we Judge each other harshly,
Knowing not lfe's hidden force;
Knowing not the fount of action
Is less turbid at its source;
Seeing not amid the evil
All the golden grains of good.
Oh, we'd love each other better.
