THE BRITT AND WEAVER CASE.

The Supreme court of North Caro-
lima has decided the Britt appeal in
favor of Zebulon Weaver and says an
unmarked congressional ballot is legal
for the reason that only one name is
printed on said ballot, and there can
be no mistake as to who the voter in
tended to vote for, whether it be
marked Or unmarked.
The State election board has issued
a certificate of election to Mr.. Weaver
whose term will begin in March.
Mr.. Britt says he will keep on fight
ing and gives notice OF a contest in
the next congress which will not meet
until next December unless a specia!
session is called.
Mr. Britt had a patient hearing be-
fore the Buncombe county election
board and he and his lawyers hardly
gave the other side any time for ar,
gument; when they got thorugh there
was little time left and everybody was
worn out. His attorneys took ad-
vantage of this board at one of t.
hearings in securing a recess for
looking up authorities when they used
that time for rushing to Henderson
vile for a mandamus proceedings
from Judge Shaw, which might have
been easily denied, but was not. Judge
Adams was exceedingly patient and
gave much time to the plaintiffs but
ruled against them, Two other judges
were sought and the supdeme court
resorted to and at every point Mr..
Britt has lost.
Not being satisfied with any Of these
Eenorts&M Mr.. Britt wilbsseek to continue
his fight in congress. He Is acting
like Mr.. Hughes who became exceed
fng1 tiresonne. TheFrest of the dis
tRfct seemed to be willing to let Bun
combe fight it out at home. but IL It
gets in congress we shall all have to
see what we can show Mr.. Britt that
happened on the other side OF the
fence in the various counties. His
republican friends are not all angels.

week and so on; increasing your de-
post only dime each week. ..

bank what we put in, and keep on
adding to it. Every little bit added
to what you've got makes a little bit
more" .
First thing you know, if you only
START to banking your money, you
will become rich. j.
You can plant only a nickle in the
Christmas Banking Club and in fifty
weeks have $63.75. You must put in
ten cents the second week, fifteen

creasing the amount you deposit only
a nickle each week The biggest sum
you put in at one time is only $500.

MANS BEST FRIEND.

MANS best friend in the domestic
animal world is the horse. The dog
may have held that position once when
man lived by hunting. Good horses
mean that good farming is possible
and that, in turn, means prosperity.
When you go to town tie the horse
where he is protected from the sun
on hot days and winds on cold ones.
) Do not take the whip out as an au-
tomobile approaches.
Do not tie him to barb wire fences.
Do not jerk his mouth viciously il
ne lifts a tTemulous upper liptOward
a neighbours hedge. Speak to him.
Take something to town for his din
ner and give old Dobbin a drink A
drink helps him to sleep better at
eight after eating dry fodder. Would
we like supper of dry crackers and
unmoistened corn meal with no drink
at all?
The horses hearing is more acute
than ours. Why howl ourselves
hoarse? Watch a horse lover whis-
per to his horse and see the ears go
back and forward
Let the hired man walk to see his
girl after a hard days work. He is
not as tired as the horse.
Do not tie the horse around the neck
with slip knot.
From ten to twenty-five dollars are
taken from the price of horses thai
jerk their heads away when buying
horses for the army The reasons
are that trusting horse is less likely
to lose its head or to- run away and
that it's digestion is better.
Truly, q wise man is merciful to his
beast.

Converted into silver dollars, the

reach more than four times around
the earth at the equator Piled on

lars would extend nearly 800 miles
in the air. Made into dollar bills
they would cover 26,686 acres.
The interest on the loan is greater
than the entire running expenses Of

century ago, while the amount itself
would conduct the affairs of the
government for fully seven years,

Another and more cheerful way

Farmers and the Draft.

Representatives or more than
two million organized farmers ask.
ed President Wilson. September "a,
that skilled farm labor be exempted
fir ON the draft. They pointed out
the growing scarcity of good help.
and the great need of the skilled
labor that the farmer now had be-
ne left with him at this time when
big production is SO important. A
vital point made was that exemp
lions be granted only on condition
that those given them remain at
productive farm work. because 9TH
er industries are able to pay higher
wages now than the farmer can pay
and so are draining the farms of
workers.
This matter is one to which the
government may well give serious
thouent. England found II DeceS
ssry TO bring farmers back from the
trenches to till the fields. We do
not want to make that mistake
We cannot afford to weaken our az
riculture when victory depends on
its strength. If the war lasts
long it will not be possible to raise
the armies needed without taking
many men from the farms But
until that is a necessity it seems
that the great need of big crops
should keep our actual farmers on
the farm until the last man who
can be spared from work not vita
