OIL TRACTOR DEMONSTRATION

OII tnAOtOn OeMONSI NAHUM
A. M. Gibbs, representative Of the
international Harvester Co., was at
Dixon Springs first of the week and
gave q demonstration of an 8-16 oil
tractor in farm work use. The demon
stration was made on the farm of Tom
Beasley. The engine was attached to a
bottom plow, cutting thirty inches of
soil nine inches deep. After plowing
the engine was hitched to q double disc
harrow, followed by peg harrow, and
at the same time, putting plowed land
in perfect condition for drilling oats.
The engine was then attached to q No.
5 Sandwich corn shelter. which has q
capacity of 250 to $50 bushels per hour.
All the demonstrations were highly sue
cessful and the engine proved that it
should be in the hands of all good far
mers. Mr.. T. ]. Pullias was in charge
Of the engine and made the machine
undergo any test that was called for.
So satisfactory was the demonstration
Mr.. Beasley gave his check for the en-
gine rather than have the engine leave
his farm. It is his intention to have
the engine do all the heavy portion of
his farm work.-Carthage Courier.
Mr.. Gibbs is giving a demonstration
at Celina this week, and will probably
hold one at Cookeville. Watch for an
nouncement.

Following are extracts from an ad-
dress delivered by Col. A. D. Watts.
Collector of Internal Revenue for the
Fifth District of North Carolina. ct .
smoker Given by The Twin City Club,
Winston-Salem, February lth, 1916:
"Winston-Salem is supplying one
fourth of all the chewing and smok-
ing tobacco consumed in the United
States, besides exporting vast quanti-
ties to foreign lands. This statement
is taken from the report Of the Com
missioner of Internal Revenue for tho
first quarter of the present fiscal year
and from private advices from Wash
ingtOn, as to the second quarter,
which ended December 31st, last.
Your city is making one-seventh
of all tobacco products and
smoking tobacco, cigars, cigarettes
and snuff-manufactured in the Unit
ed States. Your manufacturers arc
paying on an average about $37,O 900
a day revenue taxes to the govern
ment and the amount is increasing
from month to month. When your
government building, much the hand
soonest in the State, was completed
last July at cost of $25O.0OO your
made the statement that
the taxes paid in your city to Unclo
Sam for the first eight days Of its 90
cupancy would pay for it. Since Sep
tember, it has taken only q fraction
over seven average days collections
here to equal its cost. So far this
week, Mr.. Crawford has taken In
$500, ,428.50 predict that before 1915
shall have ended your average week
ly payments to the government on to-
bacco will more than pay fer this
magnificent building, leaving the col
ections for the other fifty one weeks
Is clear profit to the government.
"Winston-Salem is shipping on an
average each week day 70 an parts OF
his country and to foreign lands at
east $150,0O0 of tobacco PRODUCTS.
"In conclusion, Winston-Salem man
lfactures more tobacco, all tobacco
products are taken into this state

title or big. Tndustrially, she is cas-
ly first in North Carolina, population
first in Arerica and be-

According to astrology this is rather an
uncertain day. Early in the morning
Mars casts a sinister influence upon. man
klho' and later Uranus is adverse Mer-
curry, Venus and Jupiter are friendly.
During this rule discomfort and criti-
cism are likely to be prevalent Warning
is given that public sentiment will veer
suddenly on certain important problems
that the nation confronts.
Fohtcal surprises again are foretold.
Octooer and the end OF September may
develop unexpected conditions from
which candidates will suffer unjustIy.
The aspect is not a fortunate one for
travel or change. New partnerships or
associations come under an evil sway.
Under this rule fraud and deceit are
supposed to be easier than in ordinary
circumstances. II is most favorable for
the Vaccinations Of enemies and the sue
cess Of foes
Mental disturbances will be more com
mon than at any time in history. the
seers predict. These will be not only the
manias most general. but will include an
unusual number Of religious deluslons or
superstitions
This power, which tends toward eccen-
trtcities Of every sort, is believed to en-
courage persons Of exotic temperament
As extremes will rule during this period
the appearance Of adopts or great teach
ers who hold up the highest ideals is
predicted
Poets and sages will be recognized.
astrologers prophesy when the re-estab-
lishment Of the institutions Of peace
begins.
Women have a fairly lucky leading un-
der this configuration. but they should be
cautious. especially in cases where writ
inss Of any sort are involved
Persons whose birthdate Il Is should
not lend money or stand as security
for any one. Speculation and risks of
every sort are under a forbidding aspect
Children born on this day will probably
be quick-witted and clever. These sub

BLACKLIST NOTE
TO TOBEPEPPERY
President Will Not Mince
Words In Protest to
Great Britain.

Although tension over the British
blacklist has admittedly relaxed, the
President will nevertheless write note
about II to Great Britain. The note vii
probably 90 forward within few days
according to information from the State
Department It will be peppery and Wig
orous in language, but will confine itseli
to a discussion OF principles involved
Ambassador Page, at London, after IN
formal conference at the British foreign
ofrice, has cabled enough information tc
permit this government to make out a
general case Acting Secretary OF State
Polk has heard practically all the com
plants Of the American firms involved
He had a conference with NJ. Jusserand
the French Ambassador. yesterday
Sir Cecil Spring Rice, the British Am
bassador, has presented Great Britain s
side OF the case to him.
Mr.. Polk, as a lawyer, IS adverse tC
making out an incomplete case when ht
feels that further facts and definite In
formation might be practically helpful
to the American interests involved
Some of the representatives of the
American firms have also expressed the
hope that their interests would not be in
trusted to the results Of another empty
note Of protest
As a result Of Mr.. Polk's conference
with the British Ambassador yesterday
certain specific grievances of the Amert
can firms were definitely remedied, it Is
explained. These firms would of COURSE
welcome any action by this government
that would lead to a radical change oi
Great Britain's announced policy, but
they are not enthusiastic over ar
academic discussion OF principles which
is promised in the Presidents note.
