Plsgah, July 13.?A fine rain fell lere and in the surrounding sections yesterday. This Is in time for corn, vhich Is very proml ng at this time, ft certainly is a blessing that our county wi*,l have bread another year. Cotton la beginning to respond to the fine weather of the last few weeks. There was little Interest shown in the election today. Very few voted here. I kuors the vote in the county will be light. The small grain crop at large Is more than we have had for many years. Kev. Mr. Cole is carrying on a meeting this week at Mizpah church. R< v. Mr. Tolar is helping him. Pellagra Is getting thick in the county, but as yet I have heard of no deaths It Is remarkably strange that the medical profession don't know what It Is. or cannot find a remedy for It. It was first believed to be caused from eating corn bread, but that was soon abandoned. So they are at sea about It. A few years ago nearly everybody got scared to eat lean meat, which was especially harmful on account of a germ in it that would get in your blood and kill you. That theory WCJ soon abandoned. Our country every now and then is subjected to some scare of the food order. I wonder if President Wilson will have the backbone this year to aid the cotton farmers In their fight to get a living price for their cotton by calling a halt on England's meannesr.. Cleveland or Jackson would have told her something a long time ago. A government is not for the people if it osn't help them in sore distress and ihat is Just what the national govern? ment is doing for the South today. Not helping it a bit. We have just as much right as a neutral to trade with Germany as we have with the other warring nations. Wo are taxed on account of this war and our people are suffering in trade for the want of things we can't get except In Ger? many. We are friendly with them all, and 1 e should have a free passage to sell and trade with Germany like we de with others. No, we must not trade with Germany an?l the old lady that is causing it all must be obeyed, and Wilson says yes. Mr. and Mrs. 11. IMontague and Mi and Mrs. Qeo, W.

From The Daily Item, July 14. I This morning at 7.35 an alarm of fire was turned in from Box 23, the fire being at the residence of R. F. Haynsworth on Warren street. His automobile had caught fire and the building Ui ed as a garage had caught from the car. The automobile was very badly damaged by the fire and some damage was done to the build? ing by the blaze which was quickly extinguished on the arrival of the hose wagons. About 10 o'clock this morning an alarm of fire was turned in from the residence of Mrs. A. L. Ricker on N. Main street, where the wall of the kitchen had caught from a kerosene stove. Little damage was done and the tire was extinguished with a bucket of water. The farmers who planted Sudan grass expecting big things have come to the conclusion that the biggest thing about this much advertised new forage crop is the price of the seed. Peavines and crab grass are the best and surest forage crop yet found for this section. HOUSE PARTY AT BROGDON. Mr. and Mi.v* Brogdon Ho*t and Hos? tess to Number of IViends. Eiarvin, July 13?
