Col. Roosevelt's greatest'ambi

urday lkvening Post.
Nonense! Col. Roosevelt's
greatest anobition Is to be a one
man war.
He wants to be the command
ing generals on both sides, stand
ink calm and collected I'n front
of his tents while the wireless
spits out its reports from the
front, while the' telephones clat
ter and the telegraph clicks his
orders to his corps commandersi
He wants to be the genaral
3Ystaff of both armies ,scrutinizing
the monster maps of the field of
operations and shifting the pins
that mdrk the positions of the
opposing forces.
He wants to be the trusty
scouts dashing up breathless
" from the firing-line.
. He wants to be the roar of the
artillery, the rattle of the .small
arms and the flashing detona
tions of the smokeless powder.
He wants to be the last des
perate charge upon the batteries,
sabering himself at the guns.
He wants to be the rear guard
that bravely covers the retreat,
and the smashing attack of the
reserves which turns defeat into
rout.
He wants to be the dead and
dying on the field of battle, who
have yielded up their lives as a
last sacrifice to their beloved
countries.
He wants to be the dust-sta in
eI. corre0ip d ting his
o heroisn. An
wor s that will never perish.
He wants to be the commission
that negotiates peace with lion
or, and, lastly, he wants to be the
grand review at the close of the
war, standing silently in front of
the flag-draped stand, saluting
himself as he marches past and
pinning medals of honor to his
dauntless breast.
That is what the Colonel
wants. "To be shot on the field
of ' battle" is only one of the
minor incidents of his great am
% bition.-N. Y. World.

The Central friends of, Miss
Eva Carey were quite surprised
to learn of her 'marriage to Mr.
B. F. Roberts, of Loulsvillb, G%.,
which took place at the Method
ist parsonage in Calhoun on the
11th inst. The young people had
yonducted their affairs with
mch discretion that few outside
;ho immediate relatives suspect
3d that Cupid had been so busy.
Pho bride is a-bright, 'attractive
ittle lady, thoroughly .accom.
plished in housewifely arts. The
rroom is a graduate of a scien
ific school, and his present em
ployment is that of installing' a
system of waterworks, The
young couple expect to travel
for a time, at least, under the
1lrectioh of Mr. Roberts' em
ployer. They took the train for
Four Oaks, N. C. They have
,he best wishes of a host of

warmest praise. The rest was
n1o doubt good, but much of it
was lost on the visitors. While
the management is in the
"building" fever, we would
modestly suggest tha t t hey build
a chapel that has fairly decent
acoustic properties. It is wear
isome to listen for an hour, and
not be able to understand what
the speaker is tryVing to say.

Giving One's Best Service.
One of the ministers of tih
city, in his sermons during the
past few weeks, has 'severa
times stressed the importance of
giving one's best services to
God
The idea is a striking one,
Many people seem to believe
that half-way service in re
ligious matters will be suffi
cient.
But can one afford to give
less than one's best service in
anything?
Does not the obligation rest
upon us to do the very best
that we can, in whatever task
that we may he engaged?
Surely the answer must b(
yes. But. how many of mi
do It?
is not the tend~enlcy with most
of us to the least that we ma y
to get off with just as littk
work as possible.
Is this right? Is it goo(
policy?'
Is- it not right to do one's best
at all times and in all things
And is it not good policy am
wvell?
D oes not the miani who give
goodl service get along bettei
than the one who gives pooi
service? The good man is al
ways In demand, and he car
demandl his price, while th<
man who gives poor service ih
never accepted1 save as at lasi
resort.
This is a matter that is worti
thinking about. One shouk
give one's b~est service. I t is th<
right thing to do, and it pays te
do it.-Anderson Mail.

FARMERS' UNION NOTES,
UP ON THE FRONT LINE.
Cow peas and soy beans are
now selling at $2.50 per bushel
for the preferred varieties. By
the use of a little brain power,
along with improved imple
meuts, there is more profit in
growing these crops than any
at this time, besides these crops
always inprove the land. Use
a combined one-horse grain
planter with fertilizer attach
ment, and plant one. row beans
or peas between rows of corn.
When the corn is near bunching
for the tassle is about the right
time to plant the unknown pea.
Put in about 150 pounds acid
phosphate to the acre when
planting; stride the peas once or
twice with spring tooth harrow
or double foot cultivator run
ning shallow. This late shal
low plowing will help corn and
the legume crop of grain will be
almost clear profit. The same
machine above mentioned with
small plows on will also plant
stubble land in peas at one
fourth the cost of single plow
svork. Use miore brain power
in all farm wotlk by instituting
improved methods and l)etter
ilhplemlients.
Prepare a nice piece of land
after small grain and plant po.
tato vines cut from first settings.
These vine settings not onhv
make the smoothest potatoes
but it also dodges thie diseases t(
potatoes, by using the vine am
planting and banking on land
not infested with these destruc
tive diseases.
SIDE APPLICATION OF FERTILIZER
To corn or cotton when plant
are about half grown: Apply
nitrate of soda to corn wher
plants begin to bunch for tassel
ing; to cottton when beginning
to put on form. When nitrat(
is applied later, the tendency IF
to make late crop of fruit tha'
loesn't nature by frost. Whet
possible, always stir the fertil
izers in the soil, when the moist
ure will dissolve the plant foot

(OTI'(N MILL. MimOER sCARE.
U p-to-dlate~ Farmers' Ujnior
men see no good in gr'owling
about. "re-finanicing"' and th(
r'ecent hig 'merging"' of th<
mills. It is a plain fact thai
many of the mills are in a bat
way, and if they don't "re
finance'' and1 "mer'ge" some
they will be submrerged1 and g<
uinder' where cotton gro()wer'
were when cotton wvas five cents
before the Union went into busi
ness. Our mill men are goo<
fellowv competitors wvith cotto]
growers for profit out of cotton
L These mill men are smart bus15
ness fellows, and are wvorkin
d' not to injure the farmer but t
I take care of their own interest,
and all cotton growers have to
do to protect their Interest is to
copy some of these mill inove
ments by "re-financing" the
Farmers' Union and then
"merge" some, too. Cotton
growers can't get along without
the mills, nor mills can't do
business without a profit be
tween the cotton grower and
the users of cotton goods.
These mill men are hemmed in
between high-priced cotton and
low-priced goods, and they have
their backs bowed up and in for
kicking and hitting. too. The
price of goods will have to go up
and cotton will go down. If the
cotton grower holds to what he
has gained, he will have to roll
up his sleeves, get into the
Farmers' Union again-strong
-and "re-finance" the Union,
and merge the whole family
into the Union and make the
cat jump away from the farm
er. The Farmers' Union must
get some strong men in the field
for this suimmer's campaign and
"'re-finance" the Union and talk
for "merging" the whole farm..
ing family into the Union, and
hold fast to What we have. It
should be miuch the easier job
to hold prices at 15 cents p3r
pound than it was to fight from
5c up to 15c per 1.ound. The
progressive Farmers' U nion fieri
now know that we can grow
the same number of bales of
cotton to the farm on one.

The Old-Time Villain.
I have read a million stories
published during recent years,
and I haven't seen a villain
worth a tinklr's ribald jeers.
He's a milk-and-water villain,
is the modern, cheap john
knaye; you'd mistake him for
the hero if he had a oath and
shave. I am yearning for the
villain of the olden, golden time,
who would tighten his suspend
ers and go wadilg decC in
crime. H1e would murder folks
for venlgeanice, he would slaugh
ter' themi for cash, andl his eyes
shot baleful glances, and lhe had
ai black mustache. lHe wvas
modeledl after M~anfredl,on whomn
1Hyron placed I. wreiathi, and
when1 nothing (lse was doing
he' was gnasl'ing of his teeth,
anid he uttered hitter curses, and
he mioved around in gloom, and
he keopt the hearses busy hauling
people to the tonmb. ie would
stick{ you with his dlagger, he
wvouldl brain you with his staff,
and he always did his nourders
with a loud and mirthless laugh.
For a time theO villain triumphed,
as a villain always should, and
he seenmed to have a toe-hold
on the hero, truly good; but the
good 01(-fashioned novel al ways
illindinin etrution from
a cup. 0, the goodl 01(1 swarthy
villain of the good old1 breezy
days! lHe and1 all his gifted
authois long ago have gone
their ways.-Walt Mason.
