Rural Credit Bill Signed BY President.

NAJ At' hO "a
raj credits bill, which created
twelve land loan banks under the
direction of a Federal board, be-
came a law today, when Presi.
dent Wilson placed his signature
to the measure, in the presence
OF Senators, Representatives and
officers offarners' organizations.
When the nations executive had
placed his name to the bill, those
present gave him a generous ap-
plause.
Just before signing the meas
ure the President made a short
address expressing the benefit he
believes farms and the invest
ment community will enjoy un-
der its operation.
"On occasions of this sort, :"
said the President, "there are so
many things to say that one
would despair of saying them
briefly and adequately, but lean
not go through the simple cere-
mony of signing this bill with
out expressing the feeling that l
have in signing it. 1t is a feeling
of profound satisfaction not only
OF real gratitude that we have
completed this piece of legisla-
tion which | hope will be immen-
sely beneficial to the farmers of
the country.
"The farmers it seems to me
have occupied hitherto a singu-
lar position of disadvantage.
They have not had the same free
dom to get credit on their real
estate that others have had who
were in manufacturing and COM
mercial enterprises, and while
they have sustained our life, they
did not in the same degree with
some Others share in the benefit
OF that life.
Therefore, this bill along with
the very liberal provisions of the
Federal reserve act, puts them
upon an equality with all others
who have general genuine assets
and makes the great credit of the
country available to them. One
cannot but feel that this is de-
layed justice to them, and can
not but feel that it is a very graf
flying thing to play any party in
doing this action of justice. |
look forward to the benefits of
this bill not with extravagant
expectations, but with confident
assurance that it will be of very
wide reaching benefits; and, Incl
dentally, it will be OF advantage
to the investment community for
l can imagine no more satisfac-
tory and solid investment this
system will afford those who
have money to use.
81 sign the bill, therefore, with
real emotion and am very glad
indeed to be honored by your
presence, and supported by your
feelings. l have no doubt in what
| have said regarding it,"
The President used two pens
in signing the bill and gave one
of them to Senator Fletcher, of
Florida, who asked permission
to present it to the Southern
Commercial Congress.
Secretary McAdoo conferred
with the President on the selec-
ton of the members OF the snew
farm loan board, who will be ap-
pointed in the near future.

Mr.. Doughton Enthusiastic Over the
Good Roads Bill Recently Passed.

| eoSe noouS VIII hSssueiy oSseu.
Congressman Doughton was
interviewed some days ago by
newspaper men in Washington
upon the merits of the Good
Roads Bill recently signed by
the President, and gave out the
following, which makes interest
ing reading, Mr.. Doughton be-
ing a member of the House Com
mittee on Good Roads:
"This bill is both educational
and constructive. The national
funds contributed to the States
can be only spent on roads that
are well designed and well built,
and also roads where, after their
construction, arrangements are
made by which they will be
maintained. 1t gives to the
State highway officials of each
State all the scientific knowledge
and practical skill of the Bureau
of Roads of the United States
and the Department of Agricul-
ture. In this way, the bast and
most enlightened thought of the
nation, and the judgement and
experience of the most expert
officials of the country on the
subject of road building will be
vitalized and made manifest.
Our people need education and
information as to the best method
of constructing and keeping up
roads, as badly as they need
money with which to do t h e
work, and by this law; the knowl
edge and financial strength neces-
sary are combined. tits a straight
business law. One third of the
amount of the Federal appro-
priation will be apportioned a.
mong the States in proportion
to their population; one-third in
proportion to their area, and
another third in proportion to
their mileage of rural free delive-
ry and star routes This method
Of distributing the amount Is ac-
knowledged to be the best yet
devised.
"This law is bound to become
powerful agent in lifting t b
country people out OF the mud,
and giving farmers access to the
markets; encouraging young
people to remain in rural CON-
munities, and bettering in a large
measure the social life of all ru-
raj communities.
"This legislation has been de-
manded by all parts of the coun-
try for many years, and 1 am
happy to say that this Congress
qas responded to that just and
insistedt demand"
"It required a long, hard, up
hill road" said he, "to get this
legislation. 1t was very difficult
to convince Congress of the JUS
tice and necessity of Federal aid
for the construction of rural
highways. However, feel that
the enactment of the present
law, which has been signed by
President this week, marks the
beginning OF a permanent policy
of Federal aid to road construc-
ton and road up-keep in the ru-
raj communities throughout the
country. This bill carries an
appropriation of 5,00O,OOOby
the Federal government, to be
expended during a period of five
years. First year, $5,O0O,OOO;
second year, $10,0OO,O0O; third
year, SIS, 100000; fourth year,
500, 100000; and the fifth year,
$25, ,OOO,O ,OO0-making a total of
$75, 100000.
"Before this fund can be avail
able to any State, it must ap-
proprlate an equal amount,
which amount will doubtless be
supplemented by the counties and
local communities of the State.

Freshet Causes Much Damage at River
side, n. c.
TFoo late for last issue. l

LOU Idt0 IOl l1Su iSSuC.
Editor Democrat: Last Satur-
day, July Is, the heavy down
pour of rain, added to the flush
waters caused by the h avy
rains Just one week before, swell
ed New River out of its banks
over the bottom lands from hill
to .hill. The damage to lands,
crops and buildings cannot be es-
timated. The V. C. Railway was
greatly damaged, a number OF
washouts are reported along the
line, which will take 30 days or
more to repair the road so trains
can pass.
Rich river bottoms which a week
ago were green with growing
crops, or dotted with shocks OF
small grain, are now, in many
places, covered with sand a n d
rocks, with all kinds OF crops
completely destroyed.
The greatest damage reported
so far, is at Riverside Station, as
Rev. Asa Brown lost his large
barn; George Greer his dwelling
and contents; J. s. Browns ware
house and barn were carried a
way, and his storehouse was lift
ed from it's foundation and turn
ed around, but was not seriously
damaged. Much lumber and tan
bark at Riverside was swept a.
way.
Mr.. A. G. Miller's store, loca-
ted at the Mcclure old stand,
was greatly damaged, as he was
forced to carry out a great part
OF his goods through the driving
rain to a place OF safety, and just
after dark Saturday night, the
the store house, IN which t h e
post office was located, was lift
ed from its pillars, and carried
about thirty yards, drifting a
gainst some trees turning around
and lodging agains the corner of
his dwelling house, completely
blocking the phhaic road from
Elkland to Riverside.
Mr.. G. H. Mcclure, living just
across the river, lost his wood
house and lots of wood, besides
being forced to carry his things
out of his house to higher ground.
Near the mouth of Grassy
Creek, the river swept off Bob
Phillips dwelling house, with a
part of it's furnishings. 1t is re-
ported that the big mills located
near Bowie, on the V. c. railroad,
owned by Mr.. L. S. Vannoy and
Calvin Payne, was destroyed by
the rushing waters Of a large
creek on which the mills we're To-
Gated. This occurrence is heard
with profound regret on the part
OF Mr.. Payne, as he had traded
his farm to Mr.. Vannoy for half
interest in the mills, having a
family to support, and his prop
erty gone. Mr.. Payne is a splen-
did citizen, and should have the
sympathy OF all.
MIR. Editor, I might give other
particulars concerning the devas-
tatlon wrought by the terrible
food, but for fear of making my
article too long, l will close by
quoting Gov. Bob Taylor's beau
tiJul tribute to the power of God,
which follows:
III saw the awful majesty and
might OF Jehovah, flying on the
wings of the tempest, planting
His footsteps on the trackless
deep, yelled in darkness and in
clouds. God is everywhere and in
everything. His mystery is in ev-
cry bud and blossom, and leaf
and tree; in every rock and hill
and yale and mountain; in every
stream and rivulet and river.
The rustic OF His wing in every
zephyr, it's might in every tenn

Some Abbreviatjona.

Viz, o., cwt., dwt-, @, a/c.
Do you know why we write these
everyday signs and what their origins
are? Viz. is derived from the first two
letters Of the Latin word "videlicet,"
meaning namely" The z is a cor
ruption of. an ancient sign something
like a 8 that, in the middle ages, was
always placed at the end Of an alb
breviated word to mark it's incomple-
ton. sas~ +
In course Of time this sign became z.
The same applies to o., our abbrevia-
ton for ounce. "
The letters h., standing for pounds
in weight, are the first and third letters
Of the Latin word '1ibrae." Cwt
(hundredweight and dwt penny-
weight are also authorizations Of Latin
words. The c Is the Latin numeral
for q hundred; the d the initial letter
Of denarius penny, and the VT. is
short for the word weight.
A/c stands for account current"
the stroke only being put to separate
the letters. The a stands for "ad.,"
the Latin word for t:at" or "to."-Lon.

A Famous OPAL,

The most famous opal In history was
that which was worn in a ring by the
Roman senator Nonius in the day of
the triumvirate. Its size equaled that
Of a medium sized h%azelnut, yet its
beauty and brilliancy rendered it a
marvel among the dilettanu Of Rome,
especially when it was known that the
goldsmiths and money changers had
set its value at $1,O00,OO0. Mark An.
tony made overtures to Nonius for its
purchase, intending, it is thought, to
present it to Cleopatra, but the senator
refused to part with it and for fear
that it would be taken from him by
sheer force sought safety in flight.
Here history loses all trace Of this ia.
nous gem, there being no record Of its
transference from Nonius to any Of his
family. et'

He made his first trip last week. The

a p%ostoffice will be established at the

The establishment of this route
comes as good news to the people

country west.
Grassy Butte and Mary have been
supplied with mail in the past once
a week from Fayette which service
has been very unsatisfactory.
