 In spite Co the long journey over the trail, the reindeer were in prime condition on arrival, being fat and sleek. One. of the herd is pure white. They tip the scales at an average or I5O pounds.
 The meat will be put on the mar lset Immediately. but will only be sold by the side Mr. Appelbaum says the price will be reasonable, SO that everybody will be able to indulge in juicy reindeer chops next week

OUR FARMERS OPPORTUNITY.

An aQV6IIlSCu1CAk IL ills P~ROA Ill
nounces a Berkshire swine contest to
be conducted in Henderson county by
the Blue Ridge Berkshire farms of
Asheville. knowing a good deal of the
history of the plan of distribution of
thoroughbred pigs in other counties Of
western North Carolina, in contests
conducted by these farms, we emphati-
cally commend this proposition to the
farmers and stock raisers of Hender-
son county.
It Ia the only practical way that has
been devised of distributing high bred
stock amongst the farmers of western
North Carolina. Prices of various
commodities rise and fall in the mar
kets of the world; pork keeps going
up The basis Of prosperity for US as
. rural people is to raise all or more
than we need of meat and grain, as
economically as possible, There is
simply no comparison between the
pound-cost production Of good stock
and scrub astock. If thoroughbred
swine and cattle can be made the
general stock in this county, it's
economic salvation will have been
worked out, ibs prosperity assured.
Another reason why the plan work
ed by the Blue Ridge Berkshire farms
has been so pronounced a success is
that this / essentially a hog country.
1t is announced, as a result of scientific
experimentation conducted by the
State, that. favorable as the condi-
tons in western North Carolina are for
cattle raising, they are much more
adapted to swine raising. It is a
grass country, and the hog is essential
ly a grazer; it is a country of pure
water, and that is a requirement for
success with hogs.
The fact that cash prizes to the
amount of $75 are given in this con-
test by the First Bank and Trust COM
pany is also significant. for manage
ment of this bank is ~singularly alert
to opportunity to advance the agricul-
tural interests of Henderson county.
The principal result of these contests
are conducted elsewhere has been
that they have served as an object les
son in the superiority of high bred
stock, and the higher profit in the pro-
duction of this quality of stock. Hav-
ing once tended and watched the ma
turing of a pair of these beautiful an
imals, seeing how they respond to care
and feeding, how rapidly they take on
weight and. develop into the most
marketable proportions, no farmer is
ever again going to be satisfied to
pour his feed, that he has sweated to
make, into ordinary or scrub stock.
This plan, devised by the owner OF
the Blue Ridge Farms, is we believe
unique. Mr.. Wilson. lately secretary
q agriculture, commanded it enthusi-
astically, saying that he had never
heard of anything like it. 1t is a bus.
mess proposition, yet in effect a fine
and practical philanthropy.

Wilson policies Mr.. Watts must
be a bigger man than even his
most ardent supporters had ever
dreamed. These solicitous friends
Of the President should have been
more careful in the line of talk
they have been giving the people.
And since the issue is settled they
should refrain from spreading
their feelings promiscuously over
the State. As a matter of fact,
the fight on Mr.. Watts has been
largely in the newspapers, any
way, and there are comparatively
few original Wilson men in North
Carolina who feel that their Chief
has placed them in a compromis-
ing position by the selection of
the Iredell man to be collector OF
internal revenue. Most every
body foresaw the result and were
prepared for the inevitable.
Mr.. Watts deserved to succeed
and this paper is prepared to re
joice with him.
Again, victory for Mr.. Watts
does not mean a slap in the face''
for Secretary of the Navy Daniels.
His position in the matter has also
been magnifed. True, he pre-
ferred another to Mr. Watts, but
was not insistent in his actions.
No man in the administration
stands higher with the President
than does Secretary Daniels and
he has been too busily engaged
familiarizing himself with the
duties of his Office to seriously in
terfere in squabbles over patron
age matters anywhere. Months
ago when friend called the at
tention Of Secretary Daniels to a
cartoon in one of the State papers
picturing him as the patronage
distributor for North Carolina, ap-
propriately attired in a white
apron and carrying a large waiter
labeled "pie for hungry Tar
Heels" the Secretary replied:
"You know very well that such
a cartoon does not fit my case, and
that as Secretary of the Navy, /
cannot go outside of my Depart
ment in the matter of patronage
Mr.. Daniels has contented himself
with simply suggesting his pre-
ference to the President, instead
fo doing anything to provoke a
break between himself and the two
North Carolina Senators and prob.
ably weaken himself at the White
House. All the way through this
controversy over the candidacy OF
Mr.. Watts Secretary Daniels has
refrained from discussing the case
in the public prints and few of his
personal friends, even have beer
able to ascertain his position in the
matter. Neither President Viii
son, nor Secretary Daniels would
permit the Wilson cause to suffer
il the selection Of any man fol-
! office and there is no excuse fol
tears or lamentations in Nortl
Carolina on account of the Watt
appointment. The case was thor
Dughly investigated by the Presi
! dent and the entire responsible!
rests with him. The wise conclu
sion reached argues well for tn
J members of the party in this Stat
who still believe that ga Democra
is a Democrat" Ali is well tina
! ends well.

TT rs WATTS.

The expected happened last
: Friday when President Wilson
nominated Mr.. Aston Davidson
Watts, of Statesville, to be collec-
Tor of internal revenue for the
western district of North Carolina.
The only surprising thing about
fhis appointment, was the swift
ness with which it went fly
ing through the Senate. At
ter weeks of waiting, the nomi-
nation and confirmation came ON
the self same day and without any
suggestion of opposition. Sena-
tors Simmons and Overman cyl
IDENTIFY had the machinery well
j,Diled and to them belongs the cred
ut of. putting Mr.. Watts across"
in less time than it takes to tell
how it happened. This paper has
predicted all along that Nh. Watts
would finally win out. The Pres
Ident could reach no other con-
ciusion without breaking faith
with two of his most valuable
supporters in the tariff contro-
Versy, even if there had been a
reasonable excuse for rejecting
the Watts application. With the
backing of the two North Carroll
ma Senators, one of them chairman
of the great Finance Committee
and the other of the Senate Rules
Committee, Mr.: Watts was not
playing a game Of chance. In adj
dition to this, he had delivered to
sthe Treasury Department some
thing like two carloads of en-
-dOrsements from state officers,
Judges, solicitors, legislators,
democratic committeeman and
leading citizens In various walks
<of life And the support given
Mr.. Watts was of the whole-heart-
ed kind, to a very great extent.
IT was not confined to fractional
alignment, but came from the
party as a whole. The Preside
took the only proper course open
to him and has made no mistake
Dn the contrary, Mr.. President
Wilson has shown a proper re.
gard for the Democracy Of NORTH
Carolina by refusing to recognize
the effort to divide the party into
warning factions under the eupho
nious names of progressives anG
Ieactionaries. ga Democrat is {
