filed, but several old cases are left
over nthe docket from the last term.

FREAR DISCUSSES
DEMOCRATIC WASTE
Wisconsin Congressman Ana
lyzes Wilson'S Financial
Record.
MONEY SPENT IN SOUTH

Hastings, Neb., Sept. 22.-(Special.)
Congressman James A. Frear of
Wisconsin delivered an address here
last night, in which he discussed the
financial record of the Wilson admin
istration and the sectional manner in
which money so extravagantly appro-
priated had been expended. Mr..
Frear said in part:
"One OF the strongest indictments
made in 1912 by the democratic plat
form reads:
We denounce the profligate waste Of
money wrung from the people by oppressive
taxation through the lavish appropriations
u republican congresses.
This charge was made in plat
form drawn by Mr.. Bryan and his
associates. In the wild riot OF waste
and extravaganza which has accom-
panied the Wilson administration we
have been confronted with the slogan,
He kept us out OF war Every think
ing man knows we have been kept
out of war, not through the admins
tration, but in spite of its blunders.
The cry is raised primarily to prevent
inquiry into broken platform prom
ises. Let US stick pin into one hole
at a time and see what becomes OF
democratic promises and policies.
What is the record of 'profligatc
waste'f
Seven Hundred Millions More.
Leaving out Panama canal expendi-
lures in both administrations, the
total appropriations during the Taft
administration, from 1910 to 1913, in
elusive, in round numbers, reached
s., 900. During President Viii
sons term thus far the total appro-
priations reach over $4.846, 10000, or
more than 81 ZOO, 100000 increase Tor
the four-year Taft period Deducting
extra defense items OF about $340, 0O0,-
600 leaves a net increase of $700,000,-
600 in appropriations thus far made
or Is per cent excess apart from the
extra defense bills. I will not discuss
figures to show how and where the
waste occurred beyond saying that
over 1000 new places were created,
with annual salaries of about $780,
900. That is net increase; So, 756 900
more was salary increase to care for
5000 more positions where huge sums
were provided and a discretion left
with heads OF departments.
Money Spent In South.
"A large part of these appropria-
tions are given to the south. That is
natural, because the democratic ma
jority comes from the south and
every important committee chairman
/ ship, some thirty-two in number,
| comes from the south, all excepting
| Fitzgerald Of New York, whereas
| thirteen southern states only con-
| tributed S4,856,000 toward the income
| tax revenues Of 1915, while thirteen
| northern states contributed sos ,308,-
900 during the same period, or four
teen times as much. Is 1t not time
for the people OF this country to in
quire why these heavy tax burdens
are being levied and where they are
distributed? Nearly half Of the S43,-
100000 for rivers and harbors, in
round numbers, goes to the south, al
| though all the actual waterway COM
merce of the entire south does not
amount to one-half of the commerce

not time to ask an accounting from

OH, Rats.

The Randolph paper contains
a business proposition written by
a Randleman barber which indl-
Gates that he has improved his
time between shaves and hair
cuts. The scheme follows:
am contemplating organizing
a company for the purpose of
starting a cat ranch, the cats to
be killed for their fur. The
ranch will be located near
Randleman.
To start we will collect 1,OOO,-
600 cats. Each cat will average
II kittens per year. The skins
sell from 10 cts, each for the
white ones to rs Cts, for the
pure black. This will give us
100000 skins per year, which
at an average of 80 cents, each
will make our revenue about
$4,000 per day gross.
A man can skin SO cats per
day for So. 1t will take about
100 men to operate the ranch
and therefore the net profit will
be about $4,000 per day. We
will feed the cats on rats, and
will start rat ranch next door.
The rats will multiply four times
as fast as the cats; therefore, if
we start with 100000 rats we
will have 4 rats per day for each
cat, which is a plenty.
Then we will feed the rats on
the carcasses of the cats from
which the skins have been taken,
giving each rat a quarter of a
cat, it will thus be seen that the
ranch will be self-Sustaining.
The cats will eat the rats, and
the rats will eat the cats, and we
will get the skins.

with broken tools; they
scratch the land an make it
pore an cuss their luck an rip

rents land he does IT right-he
says he never lives to fight
therefore he makes a contract
strong. one broad an deep an

Orphan Work Day

The custom has grown up of
having one day in the year set
aside as Orphan Work Day.
That means that all friends of
the orphans work on that day
and whatever they make, they
send to various UNCONVENTIONAL
orphanages. More and more
the custom has spread until now
it means a great deal to the
orphanages.
This year, Sept. sc is Orphan
Work Day.
Whatever you make on that
day, if you are a Presbyterian,
IT should be sent to Thornwell
Orphanage, Clinton, S. c.. for it
is the Presbyterian Orphanage
of Georgia. Florida, and South
Carolina. Many children, father.
less and motherless, are there
from your State, and they are
being train in hand, head and
heart. Ifit were not for Thorn
well Orphanage they would not
get this training. If you are a
Baptist send your contribution
to Connie Maxwell Orphanage,
Greenwood. If you are 2 Meth
odist Protestant send your money
to Methodist Protestant Orphan
age at Greensboro, N. G. If you
are Methodist Episcopal send
it to the Epworth Orphanage,
Columbia, S. G..
Will you not. then, set your
self to work on the Both, and get
others to work, and send that
davis income to your little broth
ers and sisters, who must be
cared for, and whom you love
to help?
Remember the day, Sept. Goth.
Cut this out and read it to the
members of your family.

frogs in his neck, and he likes
the water and carries a toy bal.

gears by nature that they come

A World of Grunters

The world today is an aggre
cation of grunters.
From youth to old age life is
just one big grunt after another.
In infancy we grunt from the
collie, and in maturity we grunt
from over eating or "bolting"
our food, with its consequent in
digestion, or from the pangs of
hunger.
If luck comes our way we
grunt because there is not more
luck to double our holdings,
while if II passes us by we grunt
at the injustice of fate.
If Our family is in the swim of
society we grunt when we pay
the bills, and if they are not there
we grunt because they are dis
criminanted against.
If we hold public office we
grunt when our constituents in
sist upon our living up to our
pledges, while if we are defeated
at the polls we grunt because
the fools elected that maverick
over the way"
If the city dads vote funds for
local improvements we grunt
because II was not in accordance
with our desires, while if they
heed our advice we grunt be.
cause they were too stingy.
We grunt at our school teach
ers because they insist upon
obedience to the rules of the
school in their efforts to install a
little knowledge into the heads
of our offspring, while if they
fail we grunt because they have
not developed and educational
wonder from a brain that is be.
low par.
We grunt at the preacher
when he speaks out the truth,
and we grunt at him if he don't.
We grunt at the merchant,
and the doctor, and our beasts of
burden, and even the dog and
the cat get grunt and kick.
Yes. this world is one great
aggregation Of grunters, and a
few are even in cur own midst.
But let us hope there are no
grunters in paradise, Exchange.

Farmers Win In Fight on Secret
Fertilizer Trade

Washington, Sept. 7.-"Inde-
pendent" firms in the fertilizer
industry. actually operated by
large concerns, or the so-called
fertilizer trust" will hereafter
be fully identified with the par
ent interests, according to re
port made public today by the
Federal Trade Commission,
which has been investigating
the fertilizer situation. The re-
port says the companies con-
cerned have agreed to show their
various relationships on their
containers and letterheads.
The commissions inveStiga
ton was made IN compliance
with resolutions introduced last
year by Senator Simmons of
North Carolina to whom far
mers had complained regarding
the high price of fertilizers, $780,
100000 worth of which was con-
sumed by the American farmers
in 1914. In a letter to the Sen.
ate, accompanying the report.
the commission asserts that there
are in the United States 500 con-
Germs operating some 1000 plants,
but that seven of the large coms
panies, the largest being the
Virginia Carolina Chemical
Company and the American Ag-
ricultural Chemical Company,
control So per cent of the total
output. 1t is asserted that the
prices paid by farmers for mixed
fertilizers have been high in
comparison with the cash value
of the constituent elements,
partly because of credit condi-
tloIs and expensive distributing
