THE HONEST FARMER.
fElizabeth city. Independentl


elizabeth City independently
Any n who has been around the
railroad and steamboat wharyes at
Elizabeth City, or anywhere else in
Eastern North Carolina. during the
potato season. is compelled to note the
number of scantily filled barrels sold
or consigned by hundreds of farmers.
The packages look as if some one had
lifted the cover and robbed them of a
peck or more of their original con-
tents. But this is not true. The full
measure never went into these barrels.
Lots of farmers are careless in pack
ing their stuff or entrust the packing
to careless hands, There are others,
FAR too many others. who deliberately
skimp with a view to cheating the
commission man. buyer or ultimate
at the other end Of the line.
And the fellows at the other end of
the line manage to look out for them
selves in some wav. The farmer who
ships unsatisfactory packages myar1a-
bly, gets unsatisfactory returns. When
will everybody learn that honesty is
the best policy?

oITYscoUNTRY COOPERATION.

Lexington ii the best town in the
state. and It's future Is exceedingly
bright. what it needs IS the cooper
alton of all good citizens, working to-
gether as one man for a greater Lex
Iington, working unseIishly for the
common good of all the people. We
do not need knockers. We don't need
men who get in the way of every pro-
gressive movement. We don't need
men who try to prevent their neigh
bors from being successful. nor men
who will try to create factions and-bit-
terness. for that course leads to de-
struction. It hurts the town and every
individual In It.
If the men of Lexington could only
bury their Eelfshness, envy and hate,
and if we would all pull together for
the accomplishment of the greatest
good i the community for each indi-
yidualy Lexington would double It's
population in five years. Why not
do it2
In that way we would build up a
great town anada great citizenship. 1t
would be of great benefit to every citi-
zen in the country districts.
If the truth could be burned into
the minds of every citizen of Davidson
county that whatever helps the coun-
try districts helps the towns, that
whatever helps the towns helps the
country, we would have greater Coz
operation non all our people and
greater prosperity in every eommuni-

ANTETYPHoID CAMPAIGN MEETS
WITH STATEWIDE SUCCESS.

Raleigh. June 29-North Cardinals
Laboratory of Hygiene running its
mandatory of the typhoid vaccine at
it's height is supplying an uncommon
campaign against fever and now IS
able to put up 10000 injections weekly.
At the present rate the state is treat
ing pretty nearly $4,000 patients week
". The campaign in half a dozen or
more counties is developing an unex-
pected eordiality of cooperation be-
tween the scientists and the people.
Reports for the earlier days Of the
week show that in some counties con-
siderably more than 2.090 have been
vaccinated in a week.
DR.. w. s. Rankin. secretary of the
board of health declares that the state
has not attempted any big thing which
has ceased such a response from the
people. In Wake county at three
places 3.179 persons were yaecfnated-
in four days and in fifteen other places
the vaccine ~dispensary is to be contin-
ued we'll through July.
While this county was doing s. fine
~ this week. Northampton, Cumberland
and Buneembe making big
strides, while Henderson was attend
ing to nearly 500. An average in three
counties was 1883. Yesterday the
Raleigh doctors in charge of the, dis
pensary held up ~momentarily because
of a shortage in the vaccine. But later
Superintendent C. A. Shore announced
that his laboratory could produce &c.
BOO injections weekly. /
At 1920 tonight the state board re-
ported 1865 vaccinations, Wake Lead
ing with 5,293 and Northampton next
with 1000.
DIR. G. M. Cooper is in charge. He
has been visiting counties outside the
in which this big effort is now
being made. He says the people are
on fire. In no instance has the vacc1-
nation resulted in the smallest ineon-
venience. Patients proceed with their
work and act as if nothing had hap
pened to them.

mans a conference at The Hague.
Miss Adams has visited. the capitals
of several of the belligerent countries
in the interest of peace.
Miss Adams declared the people OF
-the-WarringLnations were in mood
to Consider peace terms. but that e
gotiations must come from neutrats
and the longer they were delayed the.
harder would be the task.
ssThe. nations at war" she said
"haYe no choice but to go on. No ne
gotiations can be suggested by any OF
them now without giving the appear
ance of weakness, and none of the4na-
lions as yet feel anything but that It's
cause must succeed.
I'm every country at war there are
two parties, civil and military. Mem
bers~of the civil party are patriotic,
and the military party naturally is IN
control. There is some feeling in
Germany that Belgium might be given
up in return for concessions of terri
tory in the Congo. In France there
is the desire for the restoration of.
Alsace and Lorraine but with feel
ing that concessions be granted in
other ways. All this. however. is n
ofncial. and so far as could see;
peace terms and conditions areas vet.
but a matter of speculation.

beginning to realize the frightfulness
Of the slaughter.

HENDERsONvILLE's TAX RATE.

Manager George w. Justice of Hen
Jacksonville was requested by the city
commissioners to have data before the
board tonight Wednesday, with refer
enee to the receipts and expenditures
sof the city, such figures to guide the
commissioners in fixing a tax rate for
the city.
The expenses of the city have to he
met. In a resort that keeps up with
the latest improvements the public ex-
penses are somewhat high as a rule.
Although the rate in He~ndersonYille is
mot excessively high, some taxpayers
complain and say that it is a bad adj
e~vertisement. The assessments in Hen
:. dersonvilIe are considered very low.
hence the tax rate must be compare
lively high, therefore so far as affect"
ing Hendersonville. from the stand
poin of an advertisement, it would be
better to increase the assessment and
lower the rate, for n or the Other
has to be done or the expenses of the
I city will nave to be considerably re-
sduced in order to change the tax rate.
The city can't afford to fold its hands
complacently and refuse to further I'M
prove itself. for then our attractions
sas a health and pleasure resort would
vanish. and without any Industrial pay
rolls of Importance the community
would be in a bad plight.
The commissioners are inclined To-
reduce expenses, but the democratic
members favor one style of reduction
and the republicans want another and
then hobs up the old political question,
but if there could be a board equal to
thesituation then the personnelAefthe
present onen4s4H not Ito be doubtSdhfor.
the members certainly can do efficient
business if they are disposed to, and
indications point to harmony as Soon
as the political skies clear off.
Basing his figures on the past years
: work, Manager Justice gives the real
and personal property assessments at
$1,927,478, which, at the present tax
rate of $1.35 on the 500 property
valuation, would represent an income
of $~26,021.95. He figures special IL
cense fees at S $4,000; street tax at $3.50;
water rents at $4,000; bank stock at
$500; cemetery lots at $500; water
tap feesat $500; dog tax at SIS, MAX
ing a total income in the neighborhood
of $S9.446.05.
The property assessment is only
about $500 more than that under which
the city operated last year hence at
the present tax rate theareceipts would
not be materially increased, therefore
to appreciably decrease the tax rate
there would have to be q big rednc-
tion in expenses.
The commissioners may be able-to=
lower the tax rate a little but the pun.
lie should not expect too much cutting
and slashing in this direction, at least
not enough to make the city suffer as

WANT 1000 DECORATED

Shriners' Band to Head Parade.

One of the unique and interesting
features of the Confederate Veterans
Reunion will be the automobile parade.
IN the hands of Moses Thalhimer, who
has called to his aid the members OF
the Richmond Automobile Club in
order to make the affair success.
E. C. Pelouzc. secretary of the Rich
mond Automobile Club. is giving con-
sidera bic time to tho arrangements for
the parade, and urges at least 1000 of
the $500 car owners of Richmond to
enter their decorated cars. In Jack
sonville last year there were 1000
cars. beautifully decorated, in the
parade. and il is hoped to vie with
jacksonville in number OF cars and in
beauty Of decoration.
Either Moses Thalhmcr or f. c.
Pelouze can give information relative
to cost of decorating cars, and they
have illustrations for various dccora-
tions. which are free to those who
desire To use them.
The illustration on this page shows
a car trimmed with crepe paper. the
flowers being as natural as those used
by crafty millincrs on milady's head
creations Many different trims can
be evolved by simply changing the
color. the location Of flags, shields and
plumes.
To trim a car like the one in the
illustration, procure a pole about an
inch in diameter and sixteen feet long
which will bend easily. A cheap ham
boo fishing pole will do nicely. Wind
the pole with blue garlands or strips
of crepe paper. From the center of
the arch suspend red paper bell
about eight inches in diameter at the
base. The bell is similar to those
used at Christmas time and may be pro-
cured a almost any stationery store.
Red and white paper fcstoons are then
drapcd from the sides OF the pole to
the point form which the bell hangs.
The basis of the body trim is white
crepe paper fringe made as follows:
Stretch fold Of paper and then
cut in thirds and fold up three times.
Make the fringe by cutting across the
OF the fringe 10 cloth tape and fasten
not damage the car in the least.
When the fringe is on the car. cut
out shields from decorated crepe paper
and after pasting them on thin card
board. fastcn them the car with
covered wire.
The large red, white and blue peoples
are made easily from tissue paper. 4
row of them is pinned to the top of
the fringe and others are fastened in
the spokcs by their wire stems. Large
tissue paper poppy petals are fastened
around the hub Of each wheel and
| around the lamps.
