of Dobson, comes forward with the III
formation that North Carolina, although
once saved from the bottom in literacy
only by South Carolina, has Hamlet,
Ivanhoe, Emerson, Ruskin, Cooper,
Whittier, Rubyatt, Eldorado, and Mil

In addition, the following classes are
represented: Barber, Brewers, Butler,
Carpenter, Farmer, Ranger, Mechanics,
Cashiers, and Guide.
L. ]. Taber, Master of the National
Grange. tells the story of two suffering

finished heating a piece of iron and one
of them placed it on the anvil.

DOR every angler who fishes flies or

a trick to it.
Still fishing is cheap sport. Two bits
will buy the essentials of line, cork, lead
sinkers and hooks. Even pieces of sheet
lead, or bullets hammered flat will suf-

river or creek bank preferably long
river cane, we'll seasoned.
The still fisherman may devote all of
his attention to one pole, or may tend
two or three extra poles-stuck in the
bank. Still fishing is usually done i'll
deep holes, where big fish congregate. If
the banks are shady and big boulders ex-
tend into the water, the situation IS

BETWEEN THE ROWS
By ROY n. PARK

About the best definition of farmer
I've seen is the one given out by the
University of Tennessee According to
it a farmer is
A capitalist who labors-
A patriot who is asked to produce at
a loss
A man who has every element of ma
ture to combat every day in the year
A man who works eight hours twice
a day
A man who is biologist, an econo-
mist, and lot more lists
Who gives more and asks less than
any other human being;
Who takes unto himself for his own
Sustenance and that of his family, those
products that other people will not util-
ize;
Who is caricatured on the stage and
III the daily press but who comes nearer
taking hold of any business and making
a go of it than any other American alive
or in captivity.
ust the same, farmers live a rather
long life especially i'll South Carolina,
if one is to believe the story of Alfred
Land, down in Greenwood
Land wrote me that the other day he
saw a gray-haired, long bearded man sit
ting on a fence sobbing as though his
heart would break Sympathizing he
stopped, and asked:
"My friend, why do you weep SO BIT
terly?"
Pap whipped me-that's why, y an
swered the sorrowful one as he wiped
the tears out of his whiskers.
''Your pap whipped you?' repeated
Land, dumfounded. "You mean your
pap whipped you. DO you mean your
father?'
'Yep = cause | throwed rocks at
grandpap.'
Theo Davis, of Zebulon, tells the
story of the youngster who said loud
"doggone" and forthwith received dime
from his father on the promise that he
wouldn't say it again.

Linda may have walked two
miles; she thought it must have
been 20. The thin soles of her
shoes were small protection
against the hard road. The early
morning air blew in icy swirls
against her, and her lips needed
the soothing oil of lipstick. She
hadn't the least idea where she
was headed for or what would
happen when she made an arrival,
and she didn't care.
And then she heard the roar
of motor, and Thorne's white
car sped down the road toward
her.
"a stroke of luck" he said,
coming to a stop. "Found niece
of wire and tied her up. Climb
aboard, Princess"
Linda was too tired. upset and
hungry to answer that or any
thing else he said to her. but when
they were nearing town she
turned to him.
Basil, | want to ask YOU one
great favor. Please, will you
turn off the main road and
please, as long as you live. will
you promise me never to tell one
living soul about last night?"
He laughed. what child

him in surprise. She didn't like
looking at him. His eyes were
blurred and bleary. His beard
was dark on his red cheeks. She
suppressed faint shudder of dis
gust.
Thanks awfully for doing the
decent thing. Pm afraid ! can't"
she answered, and didn't see the
swift anger that flooded his
cheeks with red.

warmer and Linda's eyes grew
heavy with want of sleep. They
talked and talked. Late" Linda
couldn't remember what they
talked about. She only knew she
talked with a kind Of desperation
to keep from wondering what
would happen next, either with
j Thorne or with the people who
would know that she spent the
night with him. In Hollywood, u
was no easier to explain such
things than in Newtown.
They were hungry, too. as the
nioht wore on. The last thing
Linda remembered before waking
in the cold. dark dawn. was wish
inc she had some food.
She stirred in her sleep because
she was cold. Her muscles were
stiff Her creme frock was rum

wavering light she saw that it was
nearly 5 in the morning. She did
not remember going to sleep, and
opened her eyes wider and wider
TO find herself on a blanket-cover-
ed wooden bunk, her own coat
thrown over her and Thornc's
coat across her St0ckinged feet.
Across the room in the grey light
she could make out the lines OF
Thrrne's sleeping figure. So she
had gone to sleep and he had
tucked her away! That was
thoughtful. but then Linda real
| lied that the new day was on

That would mean that her com

her there, sharing Il cabin with
Basil Thorne!
! She couldn't be found there.
Their motor was ont Of order and
! Tholne had told her it was 30
miles back to the last house. Lin
da threw aside the coats and step
ped out gingerly on the rough,
cold floor. Through the windows
! she saw the sky getting lighter.
Better for her to be lost, not
| to appear with the company than
to try to explain her appearance
under the circumstances. But
could she get out alone? The
roads, even in daylight, were I'M
familiar.
She slipped into Ger shoes and
approached Thorne. Shaking him,
she cried, Basil, please wake up.
It's nearly 5. We've got to get
back. We would never be able to
explain"
And when he was awake and
had shaken the sleep from his
ewes, he looked about him. "Don't
be stupid, my dear. OF course, we
can explain. That's the only thing
we can do. We can't get out oil
here without u car. Let's get
little more sleep and wen talk
about it later"
He closed his eyes and drew
the soiled blanket closer to his
chin. Silently Linda watched
him for Il moment, and then, put

hair under her hat, she opened

Bulldog, "Sour-Mug," Has
Changed From Old Habits

Probably the most pugnacious ap-
pearing, but one of the most amia-
BILE members of the dog family is
the bulldog He is the dour looking
fellow with the mashed-in face, the
wrinkled brow, bowed front legs and
the pronounced turned up lower
jaw.
Because of the bulldogs express
sion he has been nicknamed the
"sour-mug," observes writer in
the Philadelphia Inquirer. In review
ing the history of this breed it is
noticed the dog has changed from a
tugging, vicious batter of bulls to
one that is peace-loving, a perfect
companion and intelligent despite
his facial contour.
This dogs past was one of a
dark shade. In fact, there was a
