All autoiats look alike to the locom:
motive engineer.
There are some men in Dillon who
??n boast that they don't owe a man
a cent; but great nations are nevei
| that way.
American rice growers are having
a tough time. If Amercans ate more
rice, Which would be good for th'
and add to the variety of their meals.
the rice market would be several
hundred per cent better.
Chirping about the "beautiful
spring days" is all right in ita way,
but there has been a sort of sprin
weather all winter and nobody chirp ed
except to complafn it wasn't much
like winter.
Interest amounting to more than
$373,000 was due and payable May
15 to South Carolina holders of Liberty
bonds of the second issue, but
we are wondering how many South
Carolinians have transferred their
bonds since the last interest payii\?
period in September 10 20.
Mr. Kdison recently promulgated
^ a list of brain-teasing questions
which his press agents claimed wore
necessary to (est the mental ability
of college men wishing positions in
?m laboratory. The scheme was a
w 'very successful publicity stunt, and
it got across, as they say, because
every Torn, Dick and Harry in the
^ country was interested in knowing
how smart?or ignorant?he was,
according to the alleged Edison
J standard. Mr. Edison himself cannot
be a very cultured man, seeing that
W ho has bragged much that he sleeps
only four hours a day and spends 'he
hgi
remainder of the time in his laboratory.
He has had no time to swallow
the contents of an encyclopedia. Mr.
i> Edison's success rests on concentration;
on being a specialist. His series
of questions demanded a knowledge
j on every conceivable topic, which is
tilt reverse of what made Edison sucf
cessful. Edison is the greatest mastei
on earth in mechanics, chemistry
and allied arts and sciences; but we'll
bet he can't explain the Einstein
theory well enough to make us un8
derstand it.

PEACHES PAY BKi DIVIDENDS.

J*.
A few weeks ago we had some
thing to say about the peach industry
in the sand hills of Moore countv
IS'. C., and advised our farmer friends
^owning sandy lands on the east
of Pee Dee to visit this magig land
and get some first hand information
011 the raising of peaches.
Two well-known farmers visited
Mcore county and were so well pleased
with what they saw that they
have made up their minds to go into
the peach industry on a small scale.
The Hamlet Messenger, published
within a few miles of this great peach
growing section, says Moore county,
formerly one of the poorest counties
in the state, is now one of the richest.
Fifteen years ago lands in Moore
county had no value. They were not
worth the taxes. Since that time the
Deach industry has added fivt? mil linn
dollars to the wealth of this county.
"The length of time that a peach
tree will bear in the Sandhills has
not yet been determined," says The
Messenger. "The oldest orchard in
the section is 26 years old. It contains
fifteen acres. Last year it yield
ed 6,500 crates of peaches. Thest
trees have been dehorned only once
"There is one orchard 17 years
old containing thirteen acres, whlct
lias yielded in the last four year8 21,
600 crates.
"One of the largest and most successful
orchards in the district
which this year bids fair to exceed
??.ny yield in its history, is 17 yean
old.
"The owners of the 26 year old orchard,
just referred to, are of th<
opinion that it will be good for at
least 10 years longer.
"Last year a majority of the
peaches were sold for $3.00 per crate
F.. O. B. freight cars. This year the
Sandhill Fruit Growers' Association
expect to sell the earlier peaches for
$2.25 per crate and the late peaches
?Belles and Elbertas, the two varieties
which predominate in this district?for
$3,00 per crate F. O. B
the shipping stations The average
car contains 480 crates. Figured on a
basis of 700 car loads, the estimate
this year, this will mean a gross return
of practically $1,000,000.00.
"From a 16 acre orchard ? 26
years old? the crop sold last year
for $19,600.00 F. O. B. the railway
station.

Orchard last year?$8 acres

Isold for $45,620.00 from which a net
profit of $20,416.00 was realized.
"Peachland, Inc., a 100 acre orchard,
which came into bearing for 3
the first time last year, and the
first crop is always light, made a
net profit of $18,000.00.
"The gross sale last year from the
Evans Orchard at Hoffman, which
|contains 100 acres and which came
jiuto bearing for the first time, was
! $36,000.00.
"The Carolina Fruit Company, in <
the fall of 1906, purchased 140 acres
of land and planted 90 acres in
peaches in 1907. By July, 1912, the ]
company had expended in cash ex- ?]
actly $14,087.00, having for it a 90
acre orchard in full bearing, a good
Youse, barn and water tower, two
young mules, wagons and machinery, j
and a first class pack house, cleared
20 more acres and planted 10 of them
in peach trees. In 1913 the net nmftt
on operation of the company wasj.
$8,122.30, and a 45 per cent dividend ,
was declared to the stockholders.
Since 1913 this company has paid
cosh dividends to its stockholders of
285 per cent." ]
This a wonderful story The Messenger
tells in simple language of great
industry that has made the
sandhills of North Carolina blossom 1
like a green bay tree. It is a story
that reads like a Page from a book o!
f'ction.
Dut what the Yankee has done in North
Carolina can be duplicated or *
probably surpassed right here in Dillon
county.
On the east side of Pee Dee ar?
thousands of acres of sandy land with
a richer quality of soil perhaps than ,
the lands of Moore or Koke counties.
There should be a difference of about
fen degrees in temperature in Dillon's
favor, thus making the Dillon count}
crop of peaches from ten. days to t\v<
weeks earlier. This is a hig advantage
iu putting fruit and truck on th?
market.
There are, however, other factors 1
to be taken into- consideration besid
the quality of soil, temperatures, ac
eessibility to railroads, etc.
Peaches and other perishables can1
not be marketed to the best advantage
in limited quantities. The industry
must be of such proportions
that shipments can be made in car
load lots, and it would be well for
our friends on the east side of Pee
Dee to form an association among
themselves and see that each mem
tier plants a sufficient number of
trees of the same quality to guarantee
shipments in car load lots.
EDITORIALS MADE INTO
NURSERY RHYMES.
If We'd Had Advertising in the Time
of Mother Huhbard, Like that of
Today, Some Jolly Jingles Might
Never Have Been Written.
Has advertising made any difference
in life and manners? asks Richard
A. Foley, the Philadelphia adver- .
tising agent, in the New York American.
Of course it has.
The public, generally has been
lectured about it and told a great (
deal about it, and perhaps sometimes
it makes dry reading, but let
us see if we cannot get another angle
on the subject.
Suppose for example, that advertising
had been a real economic
force in the era when the Mother
Goose jingles were written?what a
difference it would have made in
those delightful rhymes of childhood
, days.
For example, if in those days there
1 had been advertising. Mother Hubbard's
"cupboard would scarcely have
Deen Dare, because her housekeeping
, would have been made easy by ad,
vertlsing. No doubt this is the way
the jingle would have read:
1 Old Mother Hubbard
She went to the cupboard
. To get her poor dog a bone.
, When she got there
She found seven kinds of trade marked
cereals, advertised prunes, rais'
ings, oranges, cakes and cookies,
i tinned sardines, salmon, jams, jellies
and canned soup.
That's the way she prepared for
her own.
Then there was the famous Jack
I Spratt, the gentleman with the prima
I donna appetite?advertising would j
, have revised that jingle about like
this:
Jack Spratt he ate no fat,
His wife would eat no lean;
- But they kept well Ped,
t Through the adg they read.
And they ate their platters clean.
"Dickery, Dlckery, Dock," has
made us all think of mince, whenever
! we see a hall clock:
' The old woman who lived in a shoe
would have found equal comfort:
There was an old woman
Who lived in a shoe;
She had so many children
She didn't know what to do.
She got a fireless cooker ?
And a washing machine <
And electric ironer? I
Now they're fed up and clean. i
Then contrast Little Mis8 Muffet? <
who can imagine a child today eating |
any such foolishness as "curds and ]
whey". Here's the way it would probably
run: 1
Little Miss Muffett <
Sat on a tuffet 1
Not eating curds and whey.
Instead, she ate cookies 1
And read little bookies
She saw advertised yesterday?
