Walter }. shuford, North Carolina

One of the most interesting men Of
this type in the whole United States is
Walter J. Shuford, of Hickory, N. G.
He Is one of those men who evidently
dreams wonderful dreams, then rolls
up his sleeves and works hard to make
those same dreams come true. Way
down in North Carolina Mr.. Shuford
saw how his friends and neighbors
were limping through life on worn
out soil that would not seemingly sup
ply their wants. At last he found the
man he needed in Field Agent Con-
over, and they began work to interest
a group of men in dairy proposition.
From start that was made with
$1,000 joint promissory note with
which to finance the creamery, it has
grown year after year until last Octo-
Der, the total sales amounted to over
$4,000. And it seems from the way
in which things are growing that their
cooperative organization will soon be
handling a business that will total
about 100000 year.
One might write volumes about
what has happened down in Catawba
Valley in that Tarheel country, but it
is enough to say that this man has
changed the attitude and viewpoint of
O county through his own enthusiasm.
He will be in Louisville during the
Conference, April 7-S-9-10, to tell his
own story and to demonstrate the
methods that he used to organize and
develop this tremendous business.

School News

There seems to be a slight confu-
sion in the minds Of a few persons in
regard to the public school in Selmer.
The public school now in progress
applies to the children living inside
the corporate limits only.
When the prorata of pnblic money
belonging to all the children on the
outside Of the corporate limits who
have heretofore belonged to the Sell
mer school is turned over to the city
school board you can then arrange to
get your part of the public school.
Until that arrangement is made
shall be forced to collect tuition from
those on the outside the same as be-
fore the city board started their pub
lie school.
Your friend,
J. 7. Robson.

Big Temperance Rally

As heretofore announced, the mass
meeting of the temperance and law and
order element met at the Methodist
church at 2:30Sunday. The house was
filled to overlooking. The address of
the hour was by Prof. G. W. Dyer of
Vanderbilt University, Nashville. To
say that he is a strong man very
tamely states it. Few men have such
magnetism and attraction as an ora.
tor and profound logician as Prof
Dyer. His telling points were EN-.
phasized by hand clapping.
The county organization was per.
fected by electing ]. W. Prathel
president, J. 7. Warren vice-presi'
dent, Aaron Brooks secretary. The
purpose Of the organization is to KEEP
our people in an organized capacity
in touch with the great Nationa
Temperance move. Each county ir

lied. 1t is expected that state work
can be carried on through the finan
cial aid of the county organizations
Quite a nice sum was subscribed al
this meeting.

We have all the time favored
the use of canal free tolls by our
coastwise shipping. but since we
have read the discussions in con-
gress we are more strongly con-
firmed in our opinion. 1t is not a
violation of treaty with any sens
ible construction. If this gov
ernment goes back on what it
has done about its own property
because some other nation says
we should, it shows the days of a
jackson, Lincoln, Cleveland and
Roosevelt have passed and we
have lost dignity and integrity.

A GETTING TOGETHER

The seventeenth annual Conference
of Farmers and Business Men which
is to meet in Louisville, April 7-S-9-10,
is a rather unique organization. 1t
has absolutely no constitution or by
laws, no dues or conditions of men,
bership. 1t is loosely put together
organization, which can easily shift
its viewpoint or change its policy with
tn growth and temper of the people
making up the membership for that
particular year. 1t began its exist
ence under the Southern Educational
Board, which pays all the bills, and its
President for sixteen years was that
remarkable merchant of New York
City, Mr.. R. C. Ogden. He was one of
those unusual men who can see not
only the future in his own business,
but also the future in other lines Of
activity 1t has been the policy of this
movement not to dictate what any
meeting should do, but merely to help
the groups that get together" TO find
themselves sna solve their own prob.
lena.

1.-THE Depot Girls

In eveiy town where railroads run
You'll find the depot girls"
Some who are frisky and full Of fun
And remind you Of pet squirrels.
Some are old and some are young,
And some are middle-aged;
Some know how to use their tongues
Like parrot that is Gagged.
Some have rats" upon the brain
Rats" quite large and brains quite
small
Some go just to seethe train.
While others 60 to see it all.
Some go there to get their "mail",
Others take their male along;
Some 60 there for fear they fail
To hear their sweetheart's latest
song.
Some go there 70 meet their Aunts-
Knowing we'll they'll never come;
But you see. 1t gives chancee
TO 90 on d little Bum"
Some go there in broad daylight,
To be seen and to see;
Others prefer the shades of night,
When they feel more free.
Some advice I'd like to give
These wayward depot 'strollers"
It's true as gospel, sure as you live,
That you will end like all high
rollers"
The girl that seeks the love of man
Will find it not in such place,
But if she wishes she surely can
Easily find her own disgrace.
Some parents need to take pill
Of good old Common Sense,
And block the road that leads down
hill
Where troubles all commence.
And keep the girls that wear short
skirts
Away from the tempter's snare,
And thus keep a lot Of budding firts
From blooming as it were.

BRAINS DULLED BY
CONSTIPATION
Some People Only Hall Alive; Dodsons
Liver Tone Cleans You Out and
Wakes You Up.


When constipatiof is having its
evil effects on your body and brain,
Nature is doing her best to offset
them and overcome the cause itself.
But usually Nature cannot do this
unaided.
In the past many sufferers at such
time used to turn to dangerous cal
omel in hope of relief. For some
people calomel appears to give tenn
porary benefit, but as a matter of
fact it is poison that proves to be
injurious and even dangerous to many.
If you have ever taken calomel you
probably have suffered from evil con-
ditions following its use.
But nowadays great numbers Of
people have learned how to feel bet
ter, brighter and healthier by taking
Dodsoh's Liver Tone instead of Gallo
mel. Indeed this harmless vegetable
liquid is recommended and guaranteed
by B. L. Browder, who will refund
the purchase price without question
if you are not completely satisfied
with it.
Get a bottle of Dodson's LiverTone
for only SOC. and learn for yourself
how easily and naturally it assists
Nature in getting rid Of and correct
ing constipation and biliousness, how
it clears away the sick headache and
coated tongue and sets you right
without ache or gripe, without any
interference with your regular habits.
Fine for children. They like to take
| it. adv

The suit for control of Wander
bit University which was SUBJ
mitted to the supreme court in
January, was decided by a unan-
imous court Saturday. The coui
decided that the board of control
was self perpetuating, and not
appointed by the Methodist
Church South. This has been
the rule since the university was
founded. However, the court
held that these appointments
were subject to ratification or re-
lection by the General Confer
ence of the church. 1t was only
in recent years that the church
claimed the legal right to appoint
all members of the board. AT
the last General Conference they
elected four, while the old board
had filled the vacancies by elect
ing four. The contest came up
in the court about who were the
legal members. The suit has
been of much interest to Metho-
dists, as well as others. The en-
tire church held to the cause of
College of Bishops in making the
fight.
