BUNCOMBE HAS THE FLOOR

a great many speeches are said to
be made for Buncombc i'm Congress
and out of that body. The expression
speaking for Buncombe originated in
Congress and i'm this way: In the
debate on the Missouri Compromise,
many years ago, Felix Walker, a
mountaineer Congressman from North
Carolina, rose to speek at a time
when Congressman wanted to vote
and 20 home. They gathered around
the old mar and begged him to quit
speaking. He refused to stop saying
that his people expected h.m to speak
and that h. was Speaking fcr Bun.
combc," his native county.
But Buncombc county is now
speaking for itself and is speaking
loud. The county is said to be the
best paved county in the South with
1872 miles Of hard surface roads, and
80 more under construction. In or
der to prevent lumbcrmen and others
from running heavy trucks over
these roads, the County Commission
ers have issued rules and regulations
providing that no automobile, true r.
or other heavily loaded vehicle, or
train Of vehicles weighing with their
contC nts, in the aggregate, in cx-
cess Of ten tons, shall be driven, OPP
| Grated and used, in, upon and over
! any public road of the county of Bun
combe, which has been built or i'm.
proved with concrete, asphalt or 9TH
er bituminous product.
The commissioners also provide
that no motor or other loaded We
hiclc weighing with contents over
eight tons shall be operated upon any
public road built with macadam and
that seven tons shall be the limit of
such vehicles going over Buncombe
county roads improved with sand,
clay or gravel.

RIGHT TO CHANGE THE MIND

Senator Ashurst, Democrat, of Ari-
zona, in a recent speech in Congress
referred to criticism that is made of
men who change their mind.
He said:
L knew a man, one of the greatest
men the Southwest ever produced.
who .boasted throughout the Pacific
coast that he never changed his mind
he took a journey into the noun
tains. He was a bontanist and natur-
aist. On that journey he discovered
on the mountain top red berry
which he ate, cool, refreshing, de-
llclous, sweet berry. He announced he
was going to have the bushes trans
planted to the valley where he lived
and declared he would send some
iamples to his friends that thew
might partake of that cool, sweet. re-
freshing, delicious berry. Inside of
four hours he was PROSTATE upon a
bed of pain. Physicians were sent for,
trained nurse was sent for, and for
two weeks that man who boasted that
he never changed his mind lowered
between life and death from the eff
fects of that berry so sweet and de-
licious to the taste. Through the eff
frots of his physicians he finally re-
gained is strength.
He changed his mind about the ber-
ry. He concluded that he would not
advise his friends to eat of it; that he
would not ask them to grow it upon
their own farms and vineyards for
their own use; but he made another
discovery, for he found that the use
of the berry had relieved him of a
disease which for twenty years had
fastened itself upon him; and that
berry was specific for that disease.
SO he changed his mind about the
berry the second time, and he did not
ask that the berry be entirely Danish
ed from PharmacopGa, but asked that
the berry be retained therein. SO here
in the Senate and in all departments
of life we change our mind when facts
are presented justifying such acton.
We should act upon the situation as
it presents itself to our views TODAY.

COWS NEED MORE HAY

IL is very noticeable that the aver
age family cow is not as fat as the
average mule or even the ayeraCc
dog.
This condition should moi be allow
ed to exist. There is an idea prevalent
in the minds of some men that =
dairy cow should be poor and thin N
order to be typical animal of the
dairy breeds. 1t is true that we Do
not expect a dairy cow to use her
feed primarily for flesh making pur-
pose, but it is poor economy to re-
fuse to feed her enough to allow her
decent covering of flesh. The health
OF the cow depends to great extent
upon the amount of feed consumed ov-
er and above maintenance ration. If
the COW is fed barely enough to keep
her body, she is forced by her nature
to produce some milk at the expense
of her system. Thus she is more sub
ject to disease and when this is the
case l doubt if the milk is near so
wholesome as when produced by a
cow in good condition.
In the Cotton Belt the tendency is
to rely much for feed for the family
cow on concentrates alone, especial
ly cottonsecd meal, and not use
enough bulky feed. If the cow is to
maintain her body properly and pro-
duce to the best advantage at the
same time, she must hav, well bal
anced ration, also bulky ration.
The average cow in the South does
not get enough corn in her grain
ration, nor enough legume hay in her
forage. Both of these can be easily
produced anywhere that cotton will
grow and there is no excuse for not
providing these to feed the cow along
with the more concentrated cotton
seed meal.
1t has been my observations that
not more than one COW in hundred
through these sections where cotton
is the leading crop gets enough hay.
The cow should have all the good lc-
gume hay she will eat, such as COW
peas, soy beans and clover. The usual
rule is to give the cow about all the
cottonsecd meal and hulls she can
stand and then a limited amount of a
poor quality of grass, hay or corn
stover or possibly bit of fairly good
hay which she may manage to steal
away from the mules. This custom
should be changed and the feeds for
the cow should be given more serious
thought which her importance as a
producer of food justifies
A part of ts neglect is traceable
to the fact that the COW as Il pro-
ducer of food for people is not pro-
perly appreciated. The cotton grower
knows that in order to produce cot
ton economically he must have good
mules or horses and keep them well
fed and in good condition, or else his
production suffers. However, a great |

laborcrs. Dairy products are essen

SAN FRANCISCO, June 29.-Ac-
tual work on the democratic plat
form was begun Tuesday night by
the subcommittee of nine after last
minute conferences between its
members of the whole platform
committee, following a full day of
conferences on various platform
proposals
When the subcommittee met the
most serious problems confronting
the convention, Ike the league of
ratiOns, prohibition and the Irish
question, still were far from solu-
ton, and il was apparent that some
Of these subjects, at least would
develop fights in the fun committee
and probably on the convention
floor, regardless Of what action the
subcommittee might take.
Bryan TO Wait.
Headed by Sen. Glass OF Virginia,
an administration man and hold
ing a clear majority for many ad-
minstration policies, most Of those
holding views not in harmony with
the white house, decided not TO ask
for subcommittee consideration for
their suggestions.
One Of those who declined TO take
his proposals 10 the inner circle of
platform builders was William j.
Bryan, who said he preferred to
wait and make the fight for his
League OF Nations and bone-dry
planks in the full committee after
the subcommittee had acted. Sen.
Walsh, Of Massachusetts,, who also
had a league plank of his own, made
a similar decision.
Virginia Platform.
In their deliberations Tuesday
night the subcommittee had as a
starter. the Virginia platform writ
ten by Sen. Glass and approved by
Pres't Wilson. IL also had a mass
of testimony collected at the days
public arguments during which feel
ing on the prohibition and Irish
questions several times approached
the boiling point.
At the conclusion of the hearings
Tuesday the full platform commit
tee adjourned until 10 o'clock We'd

the subcommittee generally predict
ed that despite the long night ses-
sion, they would be unable to re-
port by that hour II was said that

day the full committee might con-
slider il at a night session Wednes-
day in the hope o. having the plat

hostilities from spreading later 70

Tuesday night the platform sub

was to discount the significance Oh

which side should speak first.

Board.

BY Associated Press:
SAN FRANCISCO. June 29.-In
its second day session the demo
cratic national convention perfect
ed its organization and got ready
for business. 1t will assemble again
Wednesday morning at IL O'Clock
with the plans laid for beginning the
nominating speeches for candidates.
The convention affirmed the ac-
ton OF the credentials committee
in denying seat 10 Sen. Reed, of
Missouri, and in seating the Palmer
delegates from Georgia over the con-
test OF the Smith-Watson faction.
Anirms Plan.
Then it affirmed the plan to hear
nominating speeches delivered while
the platform committee is working
on the party declaration OF princi-
pies but proving that providing that
balloting for nominee cannot be-
gin until the platform has been pre-
sented and adopted.
The convention, after some delay,
because Of a misunderstanding OF
terms. finally adopted the national
committees resolution TO double the
membership of the committee ana
give the additional places TO women
one from each state. The reso-
luton had gotten into the tortuOus
ways of parliamentary practice
which was sending it back TO a
committee when National Chairman
Cummings saved it by an explana-
tiOn of its terms.
If the democratic party is in
earnest about this business of tax
ing women into its party councils "
said Mr.. Cummings, let it adopt this
resolution and adopt it now"
The resolution then went through.
Arraigns Republicans.
Sen. RObinson's speech as perma-
nent chairman was devoted almost
entirely to an arraignment of the
republican platform. and a defense
OF the administrators conduct Of
government affairs, particularly
Pres't Wilson's course in negotiating
the peace treaty and the League
OF Nations.
One of the surprises Of the pro-
ceedings was the adoption Of a reso-
luton which permits the breaking
