O MIR. PERKINS.

The Democrat enjoys hearing Hen
derson county farmers boosting their
farm demonstration, Mr.. Ernest l.
Perkins. 1t is an unfailing sign Of
agricultural progress, for when the
farmers are once convinced that his
labors are of inestimable value they
will adopt more progressive methods.
Boosting will also help Mr.. Perkins By
rutting him in better working spirits,
hut even though he never received a
verbal boost be should feel highly
complimented over his record OF &C
complishments in Henderson county
for it shows that many farmers are
adopting the more practical methods
advocated by him.
One of the progressive farmers OF
the county was in the city recently
looking for Mr.. Perkins for some ad-
vice about his orchard He was right.
Mr.. Perkins is here to serve the farm
ers and nothing pleases him more than
to assist them in every way possible.
Boost him and call on him when his
services are needed and his life will
be happier and a greater blessing to
henderson county.

WORLDS GREATEST FINANCIER.


The worlds greatest financier is the
North Carolina farmers housewife
Her daily investments exceed in
shrewness the clever transactions of
Wall Street and no business concern
OF corporation, however ably ohcered.
has ever been able to approach her in
economy. She is the nations ablesi
trader and her transactions more near
" reflect the progress and p~rosperitl
Of the country than the reports Of u
clearing houses.
All legislation, financial or other
wise, ought to be so plain that the
housewife can understand it. Our leg
islators, state and national shoot SO
far over the head of the average citi.
zen that those who are unable to en-
ply an attorney and accept his state
ments in blind faith, must forever re-
main in ignorance of our laws. OF
course we have so many laws that no
human can expect to read them and
survive the ordeal, but any person
who feels an irresistible impulse to
legislate, should try his proposed law
on his neighbor and get it down where
the common people can understand it
before attempting to put it on the
statute books-Farmers' Union News

OUR ROAD SIGNS.

&E5 =,
Tourists to Henderson county Will
doubtless welcome no innovation IN
our good roads progress more than
the presence of sign boards at cross
and fork roads. At present a strang-
er has no means of telling where he
is going except by inquiry at each
fork of the road.
Road Supervisor p. F. Patton in
forms the Democrat that he has taken
TN the matter with signboard manu-
facturers and will have signs placed
as early as possible.
In view of the fact that many hum
tiers have more powder and shot than
brains and therefore shoot and destroy
wooden signs, Mr.. Patton is consider
ing purchasing metallic ones guaran-
teed to be bullet proof.
Henderson county needed these
sign years ago but even at this late
date they win mark another era In
cur great good roads progress and
vii lbe highly welcomed.

O MOTHER

Something left over for mother
When all the sweet day is doneI
Somethin left over for mother
When shadows cover the sun
Something left over of beauty
From the golden toll and dream;
Something left over of loving
From the glory, glow n CLEAN.
Somethin left over for mother
From the victory of the strife:
Something left over to sweeten
The quiet round of her life;
Something left over for mother i
Out of the long, long years:
Something of love and laughter
To help her forget the tears
Something left over for mother
When the heart has given Its BEST;
Something left over for mother
In her quiet summers of rest;
Something left over for mother
To bring to her, cling to her sweet.
A kiss an da prayer and a token,
And a whole life laid at her feet,

DEPENDED ON HIS NEIGHBOR'S
NEWSPAPER FOR THE NEWS.
(Bingyille Bugle.1

We almost got a new subscriber to
the Bugle last wk thus increasing u
circulashion to one. but when he was
almost within our grasp we lost him.
fackts is as follers:
Sid Wheeler from down Snake Bend
way dropped into the Bugle Office last
wk for a little chat. Sid has been
thinking very serious of subscribing
for the Bugle for the past six yrs and
when he has dropped into our offs for
a chat he has allus said that when
times got better with him some he
would Jest fork I'VE So, and have us
put his name on the list and send him
the Rugle for a yr and cuss the ex-
pense.
Well as we say Sid come in last wk.
He had the So. in his pocket but he
said he needed a pr of shoes and vas
caIkilating that he ort to spend the 81.
for the shoes ruther than for the
Bugle being as the shoe was a necessi-
ty and the Bugle was a luckshury.
Right there is where we dropped
everything and begin to argue with
Sid. We told him that it was a good
cal more importanter for him to inn
prove his mind by reading the Bug1e
than to squander 50. for shoes to per-
teckt his feet. After we had talked
about 81. worth in order to get Sids
50. and he had desided to subscribe

OUR EDUCATIONAL ADVANTAGES.

The Democrats news and advertls-
Lg columns this week show incontrS
sertibly that Hendersonville is prou-
of her educational advantages. While
there are a few who are possibly in
clined to underestimate the benefits
that will accrue to this community by
reason of the establishment of FASH
fern, Fleet school and the Blue Ridge
School for Boys, the more wide-a-wake
element of our citizenship is able to
see that these institutions mark q
new era in our general progress.
For the first time since Judson col
lege passed into the realm of inactiIl-
ty, Hendersonville people have the
privilege of placing their children in
splendid preparatory schools witnout
sending them away from home to less
favored climatic sections where they
would be subject to diseases not gen.
orally prevalent in Hendersonville.
The schools will add to the bust
ANS0 C0Cp VI II community SAuCS
thousands of dollars will be spent an
nua1ly for food, clothing, supplies aad
sundry other things. These schools
will mean a judicious expenditure 10
advertise themselves and the comman-
ity's advantages il educational religi-
Gus and secular publications in vari-
Gus parts of the country.
H~endersonville has many reasons
why she should feel proud of the ed
ucational tone given this community
and since Fassifern is still in need CT
financial support, those in close ouch
with the building operations assure
the Democrat that cooperation in the
way of subscriptions for stock in the
institution which soon opens with a
most encouraging outlook for the
most successful year in it's history,
would be greatly appreciated. The
undertaking needs to be encouraged
and the responsibility of getting this
institution located here in the face of
fattering propositions from other
cities should not be allowed to rest on
Z shoulders of a few who have made
sacrahces in time and money.

GOVERNOR CRAIG.

Wilmington is pleased today With
the presence of Governor Craig, the
honored Chief Executive of the State
OF North Carolina. To say that the
people of Wilmington heartily wei
come the Governor in their midst il
superf1uous, for he knows that nc por
ton of North Carolina can be nor re
toiced that the States first citizep
should come into their midst, appear
ing in his own individuality and repre-
senting the sovereignty Of the people
who paced within his hands the great
est trust they can bestow upon a fell
low citizen.
Governor Craig comes unto his own
when he comes among the people o'
the Cape Fear. When there was a bu
bernatorial candidate to be- chosen in
1912 the people hereabouts had long
ago become a unit for his nomination.
Long before the time came to consider
the nomination of the States next
Governor, Wilmington and all this por-
ton of the State was ready to render
judgment made upon the irresistible
logic Of poetic justice. That's the
word, because 1t was used throughout
the year 1911, and there was no other
word passed along the line by Cape
Fear Democrats. However, the Gov
ernor knows all about it, but we only
recall it to say that he is now in the
midst of Craig territory.
North Carolina was not mistaken IL
her unanimous choice for governor in
1912. In Governor Craig the State
placed in the executive chair a man
upon whom it could rely for wisdom
liability and fidelity in the discharge of
his duty. Neither have the people had
Ecause to regret their choice, for the
State and all its people have never
had a governor so Loyal to all their
interests and so closely in touch with
1.-THE people who laid a worthy honor
upon his shoulders.
North Carolina's governor has a per
sonality all his own, as the people well
know. He Is a man OF rooted earnest
ness, absolute sincerity and conscien-
tious convictions. He is a man who
takes his stand and stands there, and
: everybody knows that his governor
ship has been nor of a blessing to
the State than it has been an honor to
him. North Carolina is proudly con
scious of the fact that it has a Gov
ernor in whom all the people have
confidence and whose lofty character
and dignifed administration has re-
1ected honor upon the State,
The occasion which brings Governor
! Craig to Wilmington is Labor Day"
1t will be celebrated here today and
the Governor is "the orator of the
day" Orator is right, for the State
has a governor who is not only a gift
co speaker but a man who makes
! speeches strong in every. particular.
We venture the assertion that he
will do that this afternoon at .Wrights-
vile Beach, and certainly such q
speaker as the Governor can do JUS
tice to a day which all America can
celebrate. Labor makes an asset of
the country's resourcesIof wealth, and
| the whole country has a part in La
Dor Day"-the holiday of those who

STAY ON THE FARM.
Some Good Advice to Farmer Boys
Farmers Day is Coming.

Some Good Advice to Farmer Boys
Farmers Day is Coming.
There is one thing we should like to
urge very strongly in this issue. Mr..
Farmer Boy, and that is that you stay
on the farm where you can be your
own boss, instead OF. going on to n
city to be somebody's clerk or hired
man-that is unless you have some
special marked and definite talent for
some particular work. p
1t is true, of course, that the farmer
does not get all the profit he ought TO
get-nor all he is going to get-out II
is also true that the working man n
the country fares better than the work
ing man in town. Read all you can,
study all you can, and prepare yourself
to be a good farmer-a genuinely wide
awake. progressive farmer-and you
will, nine chances out of ten, fare
better than if you should go to town.
AS we see 1.-THE farmers's day is COM
ing. The thought of the world Is T
Cd. as v before to building up the
country. The government itself winch
was once interested in protecting manu-
features, developing manufactures
building I'D towns is beginning TO see
that the source of all prosperity is the
farm. But the n best sign Is nat
the farmers themselves are getting
aroused and studying their privileges
and rights. Already the awakening
and organization of the farmers have
resulted in untold good, n you ougnt
to resolve now that there shall De a
farmers organization in your neigh
borhood as long as you live. If q
ere over 16 years old, join the Farm
er's Union or whatever organization is
nearest you, and take an active part In
it. Speak to your father about 1t.
Another thing which insures better
| times for the Southern farmer is this:
For a hundred years until very recent
Iy we have had to compete with cheap
land farmers in the west That is to
say, any farmer could go out west n
stake out a Homestead" and sell his
crops without allowance for land
values because his land cost him moth
ing, or practically nothing. But all
that is past. The cheap lands OF the
west have gone, and now when the
western farmer sells his crops he must
| add SIS to $40 per acre as ar allowance
ifor rent or for interest on Ian val
ues. And because of this fact crops
simply can't he sold as cheaply as for
merly.
Then, too, city population have in
creased faster than country popula-
tons the whole world over, and it is
becoming more and more difficult for
the city people to get enough meats
and stuffs. There are several millions
more people in the United States than
there were five years ago, while there
are several million fewer meat ami
mails. This is an indication that farm
products must go higher, especially
live stock.
One OF the greatest of the worlds
students of rural problems declared re-
Gently that in the future labor on the
farm is going to be better paid than
labor in the towns, and We believe he
is right. Stick to the farm.-Progres-
] sive Farmer.

and is one of Sids nabers. When
Clint found out what the ~sitooashlon

he could borry his Bugle every Wk

both went on their way rejoicing.
