THE COUNTY CAMP .ION
The first week of the Chester
field county campaign closed at
McBee Saturday, and this week
there are no meetings except the
special one arranged by the
people of Catarrh for today.
The next official meeting will
be at Angelus next Monday, and
the campaign will close at Chesterfield
on the following Saturday,
three days before the first
primary.
There are thirty-eight* candidates
for county officers, and
the meetings usually last about
four hours. The candidates are
allowed but a few minutes each,
and the substance of most of the
speeches is a statement of fitness
for tne duties of the office and
a desire for the support of the
voters. In the race for superin
tendent of education Messrs.
Rivers and Rouse are exchanging
complements in a manner
that furnishes splendid entertainment
for the voters. Chief
interest seems to center in the
contest for the sheriffs office by
Messrs. Doncrlnss and Ingram.
The Laney-Odom insurance bill
furnishes material for eloquence
in race for representative. Taken
as a whole the campaign
seems to be one of good feeling
between the candidates, and
mud slinging is the exception
rather than the rule.
CANTALOUPES
A representative of the Southern
Express company, Mr. W. R.
Po> ner, has been here for a few
?'?days^xplaning to the farmers in
this section the big opportuni
lies open to tnem tor growing
cantaloupes and peaches for the
Northern markets. He has been
at Laurinburg, Raeford, Ridgeway
and other places in eastern
North Carolina during the season
just closing aiding the growlers
in shipping their products,
and he has a lot of convincing
facts about what these people
are doing. He says he has shipped
thirty-four thousand crates
from Ridgeway this season, and
that the price ranged from four
dollars a crate at the beginning
OAAOAin 4/v 4??*/v A 1 ?
ui luv Iibnovil IU IWU UUU'dlS IU
ward the close. He estimates
that from one hundred and fifty
to three hundred crates are
grown on an acre at about the
same cost as a crop of cotton.
The express is about fifty six
cents a crate and the crates cost
about eight cents. Where a sufficient
number of farmers grow
cantaloupes the express company
places a man to aid in find
ing the best markets and in ship
ping. Mr. Poyner says cantaloupes
can be grown earlier here
than where he has been, and
that the early melon commands
the fancy price.
Canteloupes are a mid-summer
money crop, and it is said
the demand is unlimited. A
ood many farmers are interested,
and more cantaloupes will
probably be grown in this section
next year than have ever
been grown In the county.

Fat and Lean. I
In August heat is at its worst;
the sun roasts on, with zeal accurst;
all brown and wilted in
the grass, the sky like a sheet of
brass. Oh, August always hits
me hard, for I am well equipped
with lard; I scored two hundred
in the shade, when last I had my
person weighed. And as I sizzle
in the warmth, I wish I had a
slender form. My neighbor,
Wilkins, has no fat; he's lean and
limber as a cat, and in the burning
August days, serene and cool
he goes his ways; no wilted collar
on his neck, he likes to see
the Heat on deck. He doesn't
have to mop a brow that drizzles
cuioat ac T Hn Irnnur T onvu
him his lanky shape, but from
my fat there's no escape. And,
as I *envy, comes a thought with
hope and consolation fraught.
Fttfl soon the wintry winds of
ice and snow, and then, while
freezing Wilkins shakes, the fat
man who in August bakes, will
calmly view the bitter storm, by 1
his own store of grease kept
warm. Thus things are balanced
on this earth, and, reconciled
to ample girth, I tell the sun to
go ahead, and paint the solar
system red.

Tribute to Miss Mamie Simpson <
Resolutions of sympathy from
the Center Grove Sunday school, '
on the death of our friend and
co laborer, Miss Mamie Simpson: *
Whereas, our heavenly Father
in His all wise Providence has
removed from our number one '
whom we so much loved and
admired; be it therefore, Resolv- '
ed, 1st. That while we feel heir 1
loss most keenly, we bow sub
missively to the will of Him "
who loves us and in whom we
can trust and rest in our darkest
hours of bereavement and sorrow.
2. That her sweet, pure and
unselfish life be an example to us
who morn the loss and miss her
dailv beautiful wnllr amnncx lie
""?
A devoted daughter, a loving
friend, and an earnest follower
of our Lord and Saviour.
3. That we extend our heartfelt
sympathy to her loved ones,
whom we commend to the care
and keeping of God our Father
in whom our friend has found
rest and peace.
She is gone hut not forgotten,
Never will her memory fade;
Loving thoughts will ever linger, ,
Around the grave where she is
laid.
How we miss her gentle footsteps,
Miss each kind and gentle word,
No more in the loneiy house
hold
Will her tender voice be heard.
