SWICEGOOD CONTEST WILL By Scoutmaster Tolbert I Stroud vs. So many people seem to mis understand whnt tho Boy Scouts and the. Scout movement nre that I,have decided to try to write this article in which I hope to explain some of the principles nnd the purpose of the orgnniza.tloh. First of all I wnnt to impress upon the minds of the parents of the nntion yint the Boy Scout movement is not in any stMise of the word either a niililary or anti military orgnnization, 'It Is, however, an organization that ..teaches the principles of Aniericnnizntion and Citizenship, The two greiU fundamentals that make the foundation,of our groat government, '' Scouting teaches a boy the priv ilege of a citizen, ' It teache.s the right of the vote. What the vote is,for, and ho>v to use it correct ly and wisely so thnt men of chnracter may be placed at the head of our government. Not only does scouting teach citizenship but it also builds character. That fundamental that makes our nation first of nil the nations nf the world. Without chnracter our nation would be as the uncivilized nations of the world. No boy who becomes n scout is taught other than to love hiii G'od, his country, his parents, and the laws of his land. What bet ter principles could be taught a boy than these? Then too, the boy is taught to take care oif himself. To keep his body clean. To use clean speech. No, not to be a sissy, but to be a real wide-awake red-blooded Ame rican boy. To keep his body fit in case his Country should need him. Not that he is a Boy Scout, but because, he is a man and knows that it is right and privi lege to protect his country. Not only with a rifie but with clean policy nnd the • knowledge that every citizen hns to demand that justice bo done.' To protect the weak and guide the strong. It is my advice, secured through eight years of serVice in scoufing, to evory parent, in America' to give his boy the privilege of be coming a member of some scout troop. It will build hia charact er and make him a lover of the great out-of-doors whore God rul es supremo. It will give him a chance to bocome not only leaders of boys but also tho leader of men. The Ijoy of to-day ia the* mnn of to-morrow. And, scout ing gives the boy the training that will not only make him a man but wlll give him the leadership of mon. It gives hini the training thnt ail public leaders should have. In conclusion I wish to repeat the scout oath: On my honor I will do my beat: 1. To do niy duty to God and my country, and to' obey the Scout Laws. 2. to holp other people' at all times; 3. To keep-my.solf physically strong, mentally nwake, and morally straight.

I “The enrollment in agricultural courses diminished 26 per cent from 1914-15 to 1926-26,” the secretary pointed out. "Firat there was the war, -which drew a , vast number of young men into the ‘army into essential industri es. :,Then the period of post-war prosperity made many resitate to leave . inoney-making work. The agricultural depression shortly thereafter produced a general ten dency away from preparation for farming, "Agricultural enrollments in colleges have begun to come back,. There were a few more freshmen last year than the year before. Now is the time, in my estimation, to atudy agriculture. There are op portunities, fpr trained young men. One of the': unfortunate facta, brought .out in investigntiona ia not' only that the enrollment in agriculture has fjillen but that tho enrollment of country boya and girla in all couraes haa dropped. The cities and towns are furn ishing college nnd university on- rollmentfi. This is, not a heálthy situation, 'Country boys and girls nre entitled to as good training as city boys,nnd girls. Moreover, the nation needs tho wholesome in fluence of well trained youth. If a country boy, doesn’t want to study agriculture,' there aro plenty of other things for him to study, "I realize tho financial difliculty encountered in tho laat few years by farniors. r.kno'w that thoua- niula of farm families can not af ford to send their children to col lege.

It stopped for a northbound freight train to pasa and rushed across the rails, Miss Cloninger not seeing the approach of a passenger train from the north, it was said. A motor car, parked by the aide of the truck, awaited the passing of both trains. It is believed that Miss Cloninger did not see or hear the approach of the southbsund pas senger train, due to the fact that the car cut off her vision.

The burial occurred in 1857, A burial at sua was then and is not now considered unu sual ordinarily, but this sea burial was unique for the fact that the body of the captain’s daughter was preserved in alcohol and kept in this manner for months.

Such crops therefdrp “■will pay the taxes from land that - «tl^erwise might be idle, “We pay taxes for our high' v^yways according to th i amount wo jiise them,” says E, C, Blair, ex tension agronomist at State Col lege. “For our lands we pay a .¿at rate for the year, the assump- -tlon being, that each farmer has possession of his land through out the year and should keep it busy. If we fail to do so, it is our fault. It is true that many ■farmers who use their land for only six months each year, grow ing corn, cotton, tobacco or soijie other summer crop’could easily make cover crops pay their tax- '■ cs,” Mr, Blair states that these cov er crops cost "very little in com parison to the returns given and' ihey will not interfere with a crop the following spring. The bene fit may be derived indirectly thr ough the organic matter and at mospheric nitrogen added to the soil ■when the crop is plowed und er, Mr, Blair states that a crop of crimson clover costing four dollars per acre has, when turn-. <>d undei’, itvorni'ed increasing tho following corn crop by 17 bushelij •per acre.

It is quite as foolish to argüe tha^we canhot afford to educate the htf- mers’ children. From a purely financial,' viewp'oint it will also prove a great investment ahd in like manner it will pay larger and larger dividends back to the State, FARM-^WORK STOCK NOW ON DECLINE Raleigh, Aug, 4,—Work-stock will soon bring ;a premium in North Carolina becnuse few farm ers iVi thc State arc raising their own aninfals and the supply grown by breeders is -getting less and less ench year, . “A survey shows that old hors es and mules have decreased IC',3 per cent in the last five years and young animals have' decreased 52,8 per cent,” says Lijuis'^W, Anderson in .an address’, before the Farmers State Convention, “At the present rate oi produc tion it would require 60 years .to replace the horses on the farm at the present time. It would re quire 182 years to replace the mules. We are practicing false economy in depending on some one else to supply our work-stock. Pretty soon, we shall pay dearly for our ifeglect.” , Mr, Anderson is county, agent in Perquimans County and knows of actual conditions on the farms. He believes that, many mares could be used in raising colts, without interfering with the re gular work, Work-.stock should be regarded as a farm product, he states, and be produced at home,i Better utilization of work-stock is also necessary, he states. The stock should be kept busy, but not too busy, Aa a general .rule, when the stock is- not idle, it is worked'too hard and a plan or crop^ rotation can be devised where the,work can be .better 'bal anced tljroughout the year. An idle team is expensive but an overworked team will not long re-- main an asset on any farm,, "A lot of our ,t'eams get tpo much whip and not enough feed and curry-comb,” says Mr, Andoi'- _son, “Horses;‘should have two ounces of salt daily but many are lucky to get two ounces per month. Many stables are cleaned only onee or twice per year and the o\yner wonders why ftis • mules havé sore feet, Many nnimals'.suf- ral days out of the port of Wilm ington and «fter, lingering for several days died. The father did not want to bury her in the sea; he could see no reason why he should turri bnck to port. So he nnd'his son hit upon the unique plan of preserving the body in alcohol, i;iany barrels of which were on the ship. Preserved in a large cask of alcohol, the, body was carried for months on' shipboard until the sorrowing father at length reach ed the home port and broke the sad news to his wife. . Instead of taking the body from the cask and jilacing it in a cofiiln, the cask was made to serve as'a-coffin and was intered in the city’s cemetcry. Miss Martin’s 'body is probably the only one in the world buried in this manner. DURHAM PARADE STAGED BY KLAN Durham, July 30.—A procession ,of robed and hooded figures, vari-' ously estimated to include 1,500 to 2,000 membsrs of the'^Knights of thè Ku Klux Klan, gathered here for their annual state klore- ro, marched through the princi pal streets of Durham tonight be tween closely welded . linos of spectators, preserving; strict sil- cnce except for tho music^of .seve ral bands nnd a steam calliopr>. The pariide was the next to last event of a program which con sumed nearly the entire day, A meeting at the city auditorium, over which Judge Henry Grady, grand dragon of thc klan in North Carolina, presided, and at which Judge Charles J, Orbison, of In- dinnnpolis, Ind,, wns tho chirf si>eaker, was the Only .other event to which tho general public waa invited, Orbison Speaks Judge Orbison, in his address, named political corruption/ law- les,4ness, bolshevism, communism and'radicalism in general, and a “damnable theory -of social equa lity,” ns some of the forces against which the klan is attempting to wield its influenle. His address rame this evening following the street parade and preleding the performance of a play entitled "The Ku Klux Klan” by a stock company, “The Ku Klux Klan is not anti- Cathoiic. nor anti-negro,” the speaker declared but is concerned with and demanding certain eleni- entary principles of Americanism. Later he brought down tumul tuous applause from an audience which jammed the auditorium when he, said thnt,“no church has the right to mortgage unborn children,” and .that the Catholic church is making women "sign on the dotted line when it insists up on her agreeing that future child ren shall be raised in a particular faith,”, Such action the speaker cha'racterized ns “un-American,” Long Opposifjion How, can the farm boys and girls be kept on the farm? This qucstinri'hn.s'been put to many stu dents from the rural districts by Prof. W,, Kumlien, who teach,es rural sociology at South Dakota ■state college. As a result of the many' comments from students Prof, Kumlien has formulated the following answer to the question: “First,” he says, “challenge the attitude of the farm boy’s or girl’s parents . toward the industry in which they arc engaged. Too many farm children have a coK'ir- ed view ijoint df farm life. They hav-2 pictured to them the hard work and drugery of farming while they see only thc glamor iind apparent gooll times of life in the city. This must be changed so that a conscious pride in farm life is developed in the farm boy and girl,” Another thing: that cnn bo done snys Prof, Kum.lien, is to interest boys and girls in the farming busi ness through club work or a simi lar movement whereby they can actually participate in some phrase of farm operations. Club woi^k has already done much to keep many boys and girls on the farm. It .should be in introduced 'into every community. Prof, Kum- lien also believes thnt there shouj** be a community effort to bring a- bout better social opportunities in the country. Many of tkii students who have answered ¡the professor’s ques tions say that there is lack of pre stige in fnrming. They are Will ing to admit that a good livestock breeder makes just a^ much mon ey as the "hardware dealer, that they can have just as nice a home on the farm as in the city, that the opportunities for leadership are just as great and that there are other ways in whic^ the farm com pares favorably with the city. But they say, there is a conscioiis and deliberate acceptance of inferior ity in farming and it is this con dition that is making many of them leave the farm, ' _-------------------------------- NORTH CAROLINA DAIRYING TAR HEELS PAID U.

Not one foot of State high- Uiul New York, jumping from the Wily in Davidson County has ever 1''f their planes to the seats of been built (or rather rebuilt) without this' county first being called vpon "io mnlte a loan. It hnd to lend $300,000 before work was started on building No, 10 through the county, along the very route it naturally had to follow, Tt had to lend .$300,000 before work was started on Highway (IG . between Lexington nnd 'the For syth county line. It agreed to lend $100,000 before it wiif> pro mised that a bridge would be built across the Yadkin River on Highway 75, Aiid it was very de finitely promised that if this loan were authorized 'the bridge would be built without any such delay as has been the cuse. This $100,- 000 was authorized at the same time nnd the .$300,000 w as voted for No, 06, which is now nearing, completion, Tliia county expected, of course, lhat the Stnte Highwny Commis sion would actually spend some money improving ■ Highway 75 across the county without asking for a loan. It has not asked for such a loan—and it has not donc^ a lick of work on the road either. In addition to this generous nc- iion by Davidson County, this county furnished the Stnte .high way system with well grnded. pro perly located topsoil surfaced roads. Not a foot of unimproved road was taken over, When the State has undertaken work on a still better' surface, Davidson County has furnished good roads to be used as detours, nnd in some instnncos got them bnck in worse condition. We daresay that Davio county has received much more generous treatment than this from the waiting racing cars at Mitchell field for tho last diish of the trip. The previous world-girdling re- .cord was made in 1913 by John Henry Mears, who bettered Julef) Verne’s- fiction estimates of "Around the .World in Eighty Days” by performing the feat in 35 days, 21 hours and 35 minutes. MUSICAL HOG CALLING NOT A LOST ART Raleigh, Aug, 4,—Musical and efffictive hog calling is riot a lost art among the farm folks of North Carolina, if the performance of the 52 contestants in this.feature event at the State Farmers’ Con vention last week is a real'indica tion. Great volumes of sound, puc- tuated by appealing/ lower tones and convincing facial expression were used by each of tho contes tants. So roaliatic did the caHers make th'eir efi’orts that the 1,500 observers gathered in front of Pullen llnll.began to look.around apprehensively fenrltig that per haps n great herd of swine would come rushing over the campus and swoep^them from their feet. It was impossible for the judges to select the three prize winners at the first trial held nt midday on Wednesday, July 28, so a second contest was held for the ten select ed in the first occasion. , At the second contest, a great er'crowd hnd gathered., The news hud gone abroad over Raleigh that there were some real hog callers at the College nnd the visiting farmers were joined by a great In Superior Court.

The final ireatment than this n-om tne . announced nt the State, It isn t a question ol wheth-| , j Nichols or soino “mouthpjece’.’ toots too loudly or not; Davie’s refusal to tender a loan of .$75,000 has very definitely .resulted in no contract being-awarded, ancl noue very de finitely in prospect. Frankly, Da vidson County was assur’ad that the bridge w’ould be built prompt ly whether or not Davie made a loan, Thnt assurance is riot be ing carried out. This paper,- though, would not appeal to Davie on the ground of heljiing a- neighbor county. All counties generally hnve enough troubles nt home. But- Dnvie would immensely help herself, in our opinion, if it would make this loan nnd let the work go, nhend. The Dispatch realizes thnt back of Davie’s failure may lie. the dis pute over the location of tlie bridge as a partial cause, or ex cuse, for that county’s failure tn malic a loan. If the Davie board wants another site than that se lected by Ihe engineers, it might have given evidence of its desire by at least tendering the loan con ditional upon the selection of the desired site. It hasn’t even done that. As to nssurance of when the loan would be repaid this paper cannot speak with authority. It knows that the Legislature meets in about six months. It knows that counties that have made loans for, road building will have a majority of the members of that body. They will certainly autho rize enough bonds to pay back those loans. After'their action there should be ample time to dis pose of sufficient of the bond is sue to repay these loan.s without further renewal. of Durham w as ' awarded first firize of $25 as the champion call er of the Convention, Second prize of $15 was won by J, I-L Gprinkifc of Route 1, .

There is no. doubt but that Western North Carolina is .¡ eventually to become the summer ! pjay ground of the United States. We have travéíed over nearly «very section; of Dav/e county during the pafct! week, and we be- lléve that we can truthfully say that'never, before at this seaeon Jhaye crop';pí,ósp4cts been more ^ J^roinising that right now. Crops «re about all finished, so far as «r*rk,iS! concerned, and they are ijíre« ,írp^^ and weeds. The are coming just at the right iOmi, and there is no reason why *>the'farmers should not feel hap- ■РУ-, . I.1 I We see no special reason to be come alarnied over the fact that the farm'.population is decreas- ' Ing. That does not mean^that the •farms are going to the bad. It -1b the logical result of the intro duction of, modern methods. With the machinery of today, one; man can do the same farm work which ■ half a dozen could hnVe done a >«core or more years ago. More- :í«ve^, these things will adjust them pelves. If .too many people leave the farm, the business of farm ing will become more profitable, living in tho towns and cities will get higher and higher, while farming becomes tnore and more •profitable, until there will be the natural return to the farm, when : healthy Adjustment will be made. The North Carolina Press As sociation started a good movement at tho Hickory meeting when It passed a resolution endor.sing a change of state primary from Sat urday to Tuesday. There are several, reasons why^ the day for' holding, the stato primary should be, changed. Of ■ aU' days- in the week when tho busy busine.ss man • can't afford to leave his business to go tp vote, it is Saturday. Neith er can he afford to encourage his clerks-and helpers to leave the business for that purpose. Then, too, Saturday is a day on which ' more people leave home for week end visits, and farmers usually ; take Saturdays to go to town, do their trading and look after oth- ,.er personal business matters. The result is that our primary is not .attended as it should be. Were the .change made so that the pripi’ary would be held on Tuesday, we be- •Jieve there would be a much larg er per cent of the total vote of itbe party cast, than as is the cast jiow that Saturday is the day of the week on which the priniary is held. There are other reasojis, also .which might bo stated showing the wisdom^ of, the change., CONVENTION Tiie man who jirimiies a door or a window to steal your merchan dise really deserves more conside ration than the one who obtains goods with a smoot.h tale and a good app earan ce, withput even in tending to pay for them. The (irst is at least more honorable in the way he operates. We would like to see the weeds cut from our streets and. side walks before the picnic rolls around. , We can’t see why the dickens anybody will steal one shoe; we know that the party • who stole that stuff from Cartner’s store was not a one-legged man. What about ii night-watchman for Mocksville; are hot our taxes sufficient to justify a little more protection for the mercantile men. I read in the papers last week whear Mr. A. C.

W. McLean told the Board of Agriculture in its annual meeting stressing the need for greater de velopment of the dairying in.lus- try in the State. The Governor cited instances of what dairying had done for I other States in the South and called attention to tha fact that North Carolina ran away down af the bottom,of thè list in dairying, yearly importing vast a- mounts of milk and butter to sup ply the demand in the'State. ; As a result, machinery was set in motion by the board looking to ward thé stimulation of dairying in this State and plans are to be worked out to get the farmers of the State more interested in dairy ing. Meetings ' are to be held, where experts will explain how dairying has been increased in ot her States and who will show how it will increase the farmer’s dol lars in this State. Experts will be sent to other localities, principally Mississippi, to see what dairying has accomplished there, and these observers will ^report what they found to the farmers of North Car olina. This is the tentative plan. Each person in North Carolina on an average, gets at least sev enteen pounds of butter a year, ac cording to the latest statistics a- vailable. Of this seventeen pounds only ten pounds are produced in the State, the other seven having to be shipped in. And of the ten pounds produced at hïime, only one of the ten .is creamery butter, the other nine pounds being country butter, mostly of low grade. Put ting this in total figures, North Carolina produces in round figures about 25,000,000 pounds of coun try butter and about 2,000 ООО pounds ol' creamery, while the to tal supply needed to provide for th'e wants of the people in tho Stato is about 43,69'1,891 pounds i more tlian is made; here. ^ j So much for the butter. •'And now for the milk siljiation.

TO CLEAN OF^^RAVEYARD Antgnio Stradivarius, the famous violin maker of Cremona,.Ital.v, is said'to have manufactured around two thousand instruments in his day, and he died in 1737. Over in Iredell County during the past few weeks, it would seem, ajarge per cent of the number of violins made by Stradivarius are turning up in the possession of families of that section. The Statesville Landmark seems skeptical about them all being genuine, and makes no hesitation in saying so. ' This paper is not especially interested in knowing whether or not Iredell coujity people'own half, or two thirds, or all the instru ments made by AntoniiT Stradivarius, but we were interested in .the very intelligent discussion carried in the Landmark a few days ago. Indeed the artifcle containss.such info)'mation as might be of interest t'ò, all persons, especially thòSe, who are' musically inclined.

OF HOTEL DINING ROOM' Ho was born in 1044 and died in 1737. He wns a nativo of Cremona, capital of thé province of thè same name, situate in Lombardy, iiorth Italy. Stradivarius served his apprenticeship under Nicola'Amati, at , that time regarded as. the greatest of Cremonese masters. The first Stradivarius instruconts appeared between 1070 aiid 1865. They were of the Amati rnodel and in consequence'wero us.ually, described as Amátese Strads. They, were dist''nguishe'd for their lack of sym metry compared with his later work, their plain wood and generally, squatty designs. About Í085 original designs .by Stradivarius'be gan to appear. From ÌG90 to 1700 Stradivarius produced a violin thug described:, "The middle bouits, edges and cíornors were.longer and more graceful,, and weré .possessed,of a contour which has been described as a mingling of the femininè characters of Nicola,Amati’s work and the masculine massive style of Stradivarius'from 1700 to 1737.” All th’e work of Stradivarius, it is ,further declared, "was appears in Forest. The' animili which was about 'half grown, is believed to have come from the Pisgah National Forest and bewildered . by the bright lights wandered into the hotel, walked with dignified mien through the lobby and into the dining room'^finflfet disappearing yith a few quick leaps. • No eiiort was made to capture the animili because_of the danger^ of causing a great “deal of danger' to thè fixtures and furniture in the lobby. 20-YEAR JOURNEY FROM LEFT ARM TO RIGHT TOE TAKENTJYHTPO NEEDLE All persons who are interested in the burying grounds at Byer- ly’s Chapel ar«-requested to meet tliere Saturday morning, August I'lth for the purpose of cleaning oil:' the grounds.

There’s fine stuff there—that lift of the'head is pride —there is intelligence in the level eyes. A man or woman of the South—in the making. Our children live in a day bf high pressure. The South has taken ita place in the front ranks of in> duatry. Modern methods of manufacture, scientific farming, improved transportation—all are factors in building the industrial South. Thia development brings with it many changes in our customs and habits. But we must hold fast to the idealism of the Old South—the ideal of useful and intelligent citizenship. TA’e children must carry it on. Ibis is primarily a matter of education. The average year’s pay ot teachers in elementary and 'secondary schools in the states of the South served by, the Southern is only $637. Southern Rail way System, which pays three million dollars per annum in school taxes, ventures to express the view that greater material rewards should be enjoyed by the men and women upon whom rests the respon- 'sibility of teaching the childron of the South. —knowlctlgo Ijoing neceaunry to gon(lf!uvcninu!iitiiiul tlicliappiii(!si| - of miinkitnl,'.seliool9 miti tlie meiiii.s or «cliiciition aliali forovcr bo cii- . couriigod." /Vom tht ConMution qf (he »tute Norih UaroUna.

Howard Ci Arnold, pre sident of the baiik, told the dele gates that farmers in these four states hayé borrowed more than '$77,000,000 through thesb asso ciations since the bank was es tablished nine yeara ago. “This means that more than 33,000 farmers have been served with first mortgages running in most Instances for 33 years, at the lowest rate of interest ' pre vailing in the southeast. Most borrowers have gotten their mon ey at 6 1-2 percent, the rate pre- 'vailing at present. Further, the fees for inspection, searching of title and otiier work incident to making a loan are the lowest charged anywhere in these four states. . "it haa been conservatively esti mated that borrowers are saving' at least 2 per cent annually which would mean a total of more than $1,600,000 each year. "I am glad to aay that, farm land in these states is again be-, ■ginning to sell. >Ve' haye sold about 100 farms and still have Bòme for sale on very easy terms -;-20, per cent down, 60 per cent ¿arried^dn a longterm federal land bank loan at 6 1-2 ,per cent, ancl a second mortgage at the same low .yate of Interest.

The duel was staged last ; night on tho .steps of the Dicker son county court house. C.

Mullins, succumbed to day from tho effects of' three bul let wounds. A group of villagers, gathered on the courthouse steps for the customary evening talk, were ord ered away by the sheriff, All but Muliins obeyed and the sheriff was said by witnesses to have opened fire on him. Mullins re treated up. the steps, endeavoring the while to draw, his revolver. Arriving at the top of the stepa he sought protection behind a atone column, but in the exchange Of shots with Fleming he was struck in the stomach, arm and face. After the cessation of. the shoot ing, witnesses said, Fleming turn ed and walked away. At this juncture Mullins was reported tb have fired tlie shot which kiiled Fleming, who fell unconscious and died 30 minutes later at a hospital. ' ' , ' “•The ..(iontroversy between ' the men was said to have been re kindled lately when they had some words over the recent Vir ginia primary.

' ; There may have been days aft erward when, returning home with blistered palms and aching bones, and with less money in his pocket than he had been accus tomed to count in the days when he could not labor; he lamented the fact thnt Peter jiad not tossed him a copper and pone his way without bestowing the . trouble- Bome gift of healing.

Durham, Aug. 9.^—Forty-eight presidents of as many press as sociations in the United States, or any part of them, along with 25 to 50 leading newspaper and magazine editors of the country, would be guests of North Caro lina on a motor toUr from one ,end of the state to the other and lasting ten days or two weeks, if the proposals that have now reached the point‘of discussion with officers of the North Carolina Press Association are realized. A. C. Huneycutt, of Albemarle,' new president, and Miss Beatrice Cobb, of Morganton, secretary- tre.asurer, of the stute press as sociation, , believe the- proposal can be made' a reality, one that will mean more to the Stiite of North Carolina than almost any one thing that'could be doné to ward. letting the world know what this state has accomplished in highways, education, industry and agriculture -during the -past few years.. It would bring to thé state the' “press agent” Irvin Cobb said North Carolina nseded and the cost would be a mere/pittance as compared with the value that would be reifjied during the com ing year, .it is. believed. The idea'germinated as a .re sult of. Miss Cobb’s'enthusiastic report of a trip she and Ï. )V. At kins, of Gastonia, state press pre- sident last year,' made through New Hampshire recently. Presi dents of tho state press associa tions of the country were guests of that state for a week. The New Hampshire governor Vnet them at ih'e Massachusetts line and welcomed them in royal fash ion. The'pivrby motored leisurely up tho state and returned ' anpth er Way, visiting many places of interest,' stopping for the night at one place, breálífast at anoth er, dinner arid supper at others. Enthusiastic, informal and spon taneous welcomes awaited them at every turn' and they werè ovei'- whelmed jvith hospitality.

"Many tests in different parts of North Carolina provo that the Abruzzi variety of rye is best suited' to North Caroling condi tions,” says E. C. Blair, exten sion agronomist at State College. ‘‘Last fall, much Rosen rye was iPlajited. Whether this was be cause 'farmers did not kriow the difference between the two vari eties \or whether they could get the Rosen rye cheaply, is' not known. Blit we do know that this spring, while the Abruzzi rye was growing off fine and was supply ing good gi'azing for livestock, the Rosen rye was lying flat on the ground, ¿arely , existing iuid never grew thickly enough to The Citizens’ Convention, of.

The cut in price ranges from $20 to $90. Increased demand for Fri gidaire, followed by increased production, is assigned as the reason by E, G,’ Biechler, presi dent nnd general manager of Fri gidaire. ' "Through anticipated produc tion increases we expect to mate rially lower our productioB costs,” snid Mr. Biechler commenting on the announcement. "We hnve sold more than 200,000 Fridigari- es tp date—a larger number than has been sold by all other makers' of electric refrigerators combin ed. We feel that the public will^ demand Frigidaire in ever in creasing quantities and now it is time to pass on the savings that will be accomplished.” Frigidaire recently announced a $20,000,000 factory expansion program which will give it an out put of 600,000 refrigerator units next year. This new General Motors plant will be completed within a short time and will be in production early-in 1927, The price cut affects Frigidaire metal cabinet models, residential and commercial installations and aiso cooling units designed for use in the, standard makes of ice boxes.^'Retail sales for the first seven months, of 1926 indicate that we will pass fnr beyond the $80,000,- 000 market set as our goal for this year." Mr, Biechler snid, "We have every'rea.son to,believe thnt cold weather sales will run many times higher than Inst year, for the public is just, beginning to realize that it is summer in •the kitchen the whole year round nnd thnt adetiuate refrigeration is needed , every day in' the year.

Shay,, swine extension , .p,„ctic.iil farmers: have Hi Гл.. ' specialist At State College, finds that last/year at the middle .of July .there >vere 56 demonstrations '. with 730 hogs under feed. At the same time this year, .there луеге ; 17.4 such demonsf;rations w ith'3,- 617 hogs.. Each of these demo'n- . etrations'is carefully conductetl. The hogs are weighed at the be ginning of the feeding period, an accurate record kept of all feed given, the cost computed and the . weights of the hogs at the close of the period are obtained. Figur- are kept on file at the swine V / ^iextension office and a complete V"' record of the work is mailed back to’ the county agi^it and the co operating farmer. Thus do tlie cooperating parties know exactly whether money has been made or , lost on the demonstration. “This work ijas been under way for four year^’ says Mr, Shay. “During that time ov.er G00:fçirm- ers have conducted feeding de- ■ monstrations. We have made out the feeding schedules to be fol lowed and have tabulated the re sults of the demonstrations. Dur ing that time we have seen the price of hogs as low as $8.60 per hundred pounds and we have seen it аэ'high as $16, Corn has sold by the carload as low as sixty cents per bushel and as high as $1.60 per bushel. Where ins,truc- tions in feeding have been follow ed accurately, there has been a ’ profit from the feeding. The pro- ■ fit from the corn so fed hns been from 300 to 500 percent greater than if it wore sold at current market pi'ices,” -, ; During the four yearSj era have been urged to govern the breeding dates of their hogs so as to get the pigs off tho soft .porli producing feeds at a weight not exceeding 80 ,pounds and to ,idd; appi^oxinintely 115 to 145 pounds before selling' them, just "During tho past twenty years, the expectancy of life of the ave- er but praetic.nl farmers have found that much, better returns are secured when the rye iS plant ed ih September, / Mr, Blair cite.s the infjtance of one field planted to Abruzzi rye on September 15 of last year. This field gave ex cellent grazing for four or flve weeks in November and Decemb er and. again in March and. early April of this year. Following this heavy grazing the rye yield ed at the rate of 12 bushels of grain per acre. When the rye is sown as late as November, no re turns are secured from it until the following spring. A seeding of one bushel of the rye per acre will make the ground look green, states Mr. Blair, but from one and one-half to two bushels are necessary to secure a heavy crop. This is especialiy true if quick grazing is desired. The difference'is worth much more than the extra cost of the additional seed. Demonstration's have, shown that one acre of Abruzzi rye sown thicJily in September is more valu- ajble than five acres of Rosen ryo sown at the rate of one bushel per acre in November. rage American citizen has been prolonged tep years. This has beenydone through dissemination of. Unowledge of sanitation and health safeguards, plUs thé fine \york done by the gbvei'nnient;in supervising the preservation of foods in transit. Better réfrigé ration in the home is the .next logical step.’’ , ; ': ' ; Rapid strides (ire being made by Frigidaire in the commercial re frigeration field. Sales to groc ers, ,re.staur(iteurs, meat dealers druggists and florists have more than doubled in the past i year. The tremendous increase in this field is altogether due to the great economies and added convenience afforded by electric refrigeration, Mr. Biechler stated, ---------^--------------- ' MOTHER REPTILE WITH 50 BASIES CHASES A YOUTH Yadkin Ripple ' '' There,is a tendency in Europe, especially Italy, France and Eng land to criticise the United Stat es on account of the debt settle-^ ments. In P'rance they hnve held L. indignation meetings and in Italy and England the newspapers have l i taken the matter up. There is something uncanny about these nations., : The United St.ttes loaned them money, when they needed it and now they have given them G2 years,in which to repay the loan, and this a,fter giving them out right a part of the money loaned. Now here com es a Fiiscist piiper of Rome’ which says that the v.'nr will not be over until these, debts are paid and thnt the fight is now between the United Stntes nnd Europe. Thnt kind of talk, comes with poor grnee from ungrateful minds. They hnve nppnrnntly forgotten the horrid days of 1817 and 1918, when all the allies were fighting with their backs to the wall; then the man power was I'unning low and the treasury almost exhau.sed; when they were sending out cries for help wherever they could find it; when the -big cannons were belching forth their rays of death and. destruction; and when the Germans were knocking at the doors of Paris; when every news dispatch carried the news of the death and wounding of thousands of the man-flower of the country. Then, ah yes, then, the money was welcome; the thousands of soldiers sent over to suffei-,'bleed and die, that France and the oth er Allies might live, were wel come.This country will not soon for get the stirring days of 1917 when the strong youth of this country was ushered from their loved ones to be shipped across three thous and miles of stormy seas to help snve the country beyond the At lantic. The people back home were bled white to buy bonds, sav ings stamps, and on until this day the rich and jioor of this country^ aro contributing every day to pay off the terrible war debt- this country incurred. While this country was fighting to snve Europe, along comes Eng land, tho hog center of the world, nnd furnished ships to carry Ame rican soldiers to that country to fight their own battles nnd nfter- wnrds icharged tho w;ir depart ment millions of dollars' for, the ships furnished. We Americans tiun t forgot that Idnd .of treat ment. And yet they come along and raise the devil because we do not give, them more than 02 yenrs to pay us back the money bled from the pooketa of the United Stntes. If the If)zy French, tho Itnlinn ,wops and stubborn . Englishmen ^will go to work and try to cjo something they will get nlong bet ter. AH they think of is drinking wine, gambling and wearing fine clothes while somebody else suf» fers to Help provide for them. They may have another war some day' and nt this rate they wont even be in shape to start fighting, and as far as this country is con cerned they can all go to the devil.

The local , markets never were quite so well supplied. In time it'seems poe- sible that a North Carolina don-*.: sciousness may be developed anrf that the state will absorb many', thousand crates which hitherto ' never even saw a North Caroline market. I ' Five years ago the ‘state wag. about réady to go crazy on peach-^ es and people from all'parts o f, the country were, buying, into or-'i chards. At that) time Tt seemed that sticking a tree into the groiind and backing off as Moeee dd from the burning bush,, to;; "see the sight,” was aboiit all tnat^,, was needed fòr immediate rich--.! es., Upstarters seemed to thfnic that the trees would put out bei--', fore,tho planter eould get awny.',;‘ Peach culture lias becòme a much more complex thing than that. ' No scientist of the ' state haa .studied the business more than Di'. R. w. Leiby, ' pf the. 'depart-i; ^ ment of. agriculture ;,in,,RolèigJi.:i He spends a portion qf,9Very yeiir,-.. with the pahdhill pqppjo' treatiner their trees as a áutiful ' doctor: does his patients; He'.hás явей-; :nll sides of it and observes-that ' the “peach industry is nofc olto-r gether‘the one grand sweet song';, it often is pictured.” ' .. ' ■At least a qtiarter of a million dollars is spent nnnunlly ,by the. growers to'control the insects and, diseases which always threaten the trees and their fruit. \ Such : posts as the borors, San Joae ' scale, the no\yly imported orlen-; tal moth, and the curculio are.; siich a menace that the depart-' ment of agriculture maintains »-:л bug field laborat(;ry during the ; season near Aberdeen under the ' direction of Mr. Leiby.' The en-¿; tomologlsts of the liiboratory tell^ i tho growers by weekly bulletin* f just when to apply a certairi;spray; or when to cloutl the ^trees with a , poison dust in a'regular program., of eradication of ' the pests ‘ from ’> the orchard. Those entomologiete study: the habits of the btigs in ' their laboratory, 'f^nd out whaf they eat, where they eat, ' and whon thoy lay their eggs and how many dozen eggs they lay. This laboratory was establish ed five years ago when as much as 80 per cent, of the peaches in a few orchards was unfit for sale' because of the curculio worm. ; Now the curculio is an insignifi cant pest for the growers ihave : followed the entomologists’ direc- ; tions to the letter during tho last five years. withAhe result that loss than one per cent,of the fruit ; is inifi't for sale at harvest time. Growers will readily tell you that the peach industry would have been doomed long since if the cur- clio had not been successfully < controlled. ) , ( Big money in sand hillpeachea ■ ' is not what the, average North , Carolinian iinderstands it to be. Like all other industries, fruit growing has its ups and downs.' Over production was forecast by the “wise ones” two years ago-r- with the present resulting low; prices which are hardly above thei cost of production. 'This. condì-- tion will be maintained for an other tvyo or three years until the industry finds its level, until some growers in Georgia as well tte North Carolina abandon their or chards because they cannot attend the pace of low prices and highf cost of production of a perishable article that must.be moved and ч disposed of immediately when it- is ripe. . Our greatest competing section ' is Georgia, although Arkansas and Tennessee also produce as many : peaches as North Carolina. ÍU : 1921 when the sand hill section, markétéd only 300 cars of fruit, the northern buyers clamored for :' it at $3;50 per crato cash in car V; lots on'the track. But in , that*:, year Georgia shipped only 6,0i)0 ; cars. Now Georgia. is -shipping,.;; around 15,000 cars and the sapd;:i hills 1,700 сЛг.ч; The evident ov-'j er-production has - ' brought-.. the pric,o down to ?1.50 per crato, ' % Peach growers of Vance County, hiive sold their crop on'the .locai niarket at Heiiderson for; an- aVew age of about $2 por .bushel. -Olíji grower with 600 trees aboui ijijll rears old is.’harvestlng'fiòr"'^ < / i !■ !

It' js commonly» held, in, this age, that hell is a man-made ter-» ror thnt.has ho place in m'odern theo!og.(', and that it has gone out of fashion among respectable peo ple.' ' ,' - , , So unpopular haa it become that ■it is a tabood wbrd in many pul pits, and he who'Js bold eiiough Ito rlskeensure by preaching upon 'the s^ibject is represented as ,a cruel man, who delights in'human suffe/ing. , . . . , Such critics'fol’get. that he who preaches the certainty of hell, us es a sword, that cuts both ways. It not only condemns his, hearers to endless sufferings, ljut also in many instances hte own children and dear friends. They ought to. remember that Aye-who preach it, would rejoice if \ve could prove from Scripture that it hns no existence—but we ennnot. , , There are some who find some comfort in the revised version that substitutes Sheol for hell, as if ai change of name could rob it of its terrors. 'The name and place aro matters of indifference if the principle that somewhere and at some time, every transgression wlll receive a due recompense of reward. The important question then for us all, Js whether the doctrine is taught in nature or in the Bible. 1. Nature everywhere nnd in e'v- cry way teaches that penalty fol lows every violation of its laws. Such a lesson is the first that a child lenr,n8., It is among the first lesson of infancy, expressed in the phrase—“The burnt child fears the fire." ' the mother who giv^es poison instend of medicine becnuse she thought it was medicine, learns that nature’s laws ••itAOi'ablei in n manner she will never for- get. .The mnn wfio unintentionally -fnlls from a roof learns to his sorrow the same lesson. If this be true of the violation of nature’s laws on enr'th, why should we eXpect to see the law that penalty follows (violation, suspended in the other world. 2. The teachings of Chriet, , It is n significant fnct that tho strongest statements ever made concerning hell, were made by our Lord, who describes Himseif as being "meek and lowly iii heart.” Listen to these words: ■ , Mark 9:43: "And if thy hnhd ■offend thee, cut it off; it is bet tor for thee to enter into life maimed, .than hnviniC,.two hands to go into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched;-where the worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenclied.’’ - , Matt. 25:46: “And these shall- go away into everlasting punish ment; but the righteous into life eternal." ' ' » Mark 16:16: “But he that be- lieveth not shall be damned.” We. might quote from other parts of the New Testament and show clearly that in the minds of these writers there could be no doubt about the existence of hell. Also a careful study of these references would show that whnt- ever hell is and whatever its punishment, it is inflicted, not by God, but by man himself. • As a free agent, he can control his own actions, and if he will, he cap be "saved. Jesus said to the Jews (Jno. 6: 40) “Ye are not willing to me that ye might have life,” which proves that if the man fails to obtain that life that Jesus gives, it ,is because he is not willing to come to Hjm. Again, the universal judgment scene in Matt. 24:?.4, 40, the King I says to'those on His right hand, I “Inherit the kingdom prepared (for you from the foundation of the world.” "Then shall He' say also unto them on the left hand. Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlast ing fire, prevared for the devil and his angels.” Prom the foundation of the world, the King has been prepar ing two abode.s—one a kingdom for His own, nnd the other ever lasting fire for the devil and his iligels. If man finds himself in the devil’s fire, it must be becau.se-he has chosen it as his final abode. The mnn chooses his own nbode.

They were so delighted with the fertility of the soil, the beauty of tlie country,,and with its cli mate arid ito natives, that they returned to England and told glowing stories of Roanoke Island and its environs. Two natives, named Manteo arid Wanches returned to England with them .The stories they.told to Raleigh nnd Queen Elizabeth were,so glp'wlng that it was decided to plant a colony on Roanoìte. Ralph Lnne and n colony of 108 men were flrst sent. They founded the “City of Raleigh” on Ronnoke Islnnd, but grew tired of the hunt for gold,- and, leaving fifteen,men to hold possessiori. Lane and the remainder of his men returned to England, prbmising to; retuih soon. But when the next, Englishmen returned the fifteen men w.çre gone. ' Another colony of' one hundred and-fifty .men, many of them carrying their wives and children, put iri charge of John White: as Governor, was sent to Roanoke. -' This colony'landed at Roanoke the last days of July, 168j7. Among the women of the, colony was. Mrs. Eleanor Dare, the wife.of one of tlie men of the colony, and daughter of Governor White. About a week after her arrival she gave birth to a baby girl and, .in honor of the queen, she was named Virginia Darei This baby was born on August 16tli, 1687, nnd the following Sunday, August 18th, 1687, she was baptized; That was 289 years ago this August. ■ , Ten days nfter Virginia’s birth, her grandfather, Gpvej'n,or John White, with n few of hisVen, returned' to England :‘for-^|^upplies. When he got there he found Englnnd arid Spain’engaged ip England’s worst war, the war that was destined to determine whether,J?ngland or Spain should become riinster of the-'sona.

Then Johii AVhite returned tó see 'whnt had become of his colony and his daughter and little grandchild, Virginii,v Dare. Thè ship in which he returned landed off the coàst bf Roanoke Island in, the night time.' Johri White saw a light on the Island and felt pretty sure thnt it was from the habitation of the colonists;. ' But still, he was not satisfied. He had his men play and sin» familiar Eng-; lish songs, but no response came to his ears froriiiRtianokè.V'When it was day he landed only to find the; “City of Raleifeh” in, ruins and not one of the English there. He aearched dil.igently, but found no one. ' ■„ ', ’ At firat White feared that the entire colony had peen killed by the Indiaina, but he remembei-ed that he told them before his ,return to England that if they left for some other section beforé'‘'h'i8,.i,eturfl tp write the name of the place to which they had ,gorie on çonje .'of the trees, and to indicate by an “X”, in, case'they were in 'distress, Search found carved on the trunk of a large tree, in plain, letters, "CROATAN,”, but there was no "X” to indicate distress. ' He felt sure, therefore, that thejcolony had moved to Croatan and, so he and his men started out for that place, having learned w.hefe it was from one of the native Iridiaps, The captain of the ship refused to carry .White to, Croatan, however,' but went directly from IJoanpke to the West Indies, further search was.made later, but from the day John White sailed from England when, Virginia Dare was 10 days old, until this da.vi the, fate of hia colony has never bpen learned, hence thè;designatión,“ The Lost Colony.” ' ': jl^Bri'here"when collapse* of a bIocked>their outlet at 10'o’clock last Thursday night.

This cbnditioh now is about the re verse of what it was some 15 years ago when we began our efforts tò build up better cotton varieties in the State. At that time, our farmers grew a large percentage of such poor yielding, small boil ed, short stapled varieties as the King, Ricks, and others.

He haa: found that some farmora have been discouraged' from planting the better varieties of cotton be- ' cause they have- not received the price which the better grade and staple entitled th,eiii to secure, Such instances are usually found ip small local markets where the buyers have not beeh trained and ; where they make their'money in ' buying under the grade and staple as it shows in the cotton.

'Mr, Holman States that the farmers of Pender County are the first to take advantage of the new allotment. They have placed an order for lff,000 pounds through county , agent W. H. Robins; and the material will be shipped tb Burgaw for distribution. This shipment was financed; by the county Board of' Commiaaionera so that landowners could have a supply to blow out stumps and otherwise' improve the condition of their .lielda. ; ‘‘While we were allotted only 900,000 pounds last year, we ac tually got a little over one mil lion pounda,” says Mr. Holman. "Thia material was used for re moving rocks-and atumpa from fielda, for ditching and for squar ing up the poorly shaped fielda. The use of explosives for • land cleaving purposes resulta in larg-- er fields, more econoniical use of labor and -power machinery, great er acre yields and increased re turns per farm worker.” Í\ I priceless and therefore jeatoudy upheld - - - ^ J- .

Tho results are always disappointing. On the other hand, the Abruzzi ryp is early and makes an abiindant ¡growtli for either grazing or turning under in the spring beforo the Rosen rye even starts to'growing,, “This year,”, says iVIr. Blair, "a field of Rosen rye, in Bladen county ripened abbiit July 15 which was more than a month after the Abruzzi rye had been harvested. The worst fea,tures of this Rosen ryo are that it is very late, it never makes satisfactory growth, it is used as an adulte rant in Abruzisi rye and many growers are attracted to It, be cause the seed are cheap,”v Abruzzi rye riiay be higher in price but it is cheaper in the end and for best and most.economical results, in growing a rye crop this winter, Abruzzi rye, only should be grown.

Possibly they grew out-of the half superstitious Imaginations of early settlers. Perhaps some of them may have come from the tribe of Indians with which tlie Lost Colony may liavo amalgamfited. One of these is the legend that she once-appeared to a hunter as a beautiful woman and then,changed into the form of a beautiful white doe. With that, legend as a basis. Prof, B. F, Eledd, Professor of English of Wake Forest College, has written a charming little poem entitled'‘‘The Vision of the'Milk-White Doe,”' The poem is as follows: : - : ,- The hunter by his lonely fire , ■Wakens ¡n sweet, .unknown desire, To v/atch by the dim, delusive light, , -, What seems a woman in rament white, > ,_ Among the forest shadow go:— Lingering it goes, and, backward turns, ■I-'. ■ .

CANNON BALLS FOUND AT MÔÂWIÉAD; CITY In Bogne Park, ii^d .Thought to he Shot by Confederates At Yankee Тгоорв, Morehead (Dity, Aug, 21,—Two 20 ip6und cannon balls were found in B6gue park, Morehead City, to day by a Mr. Butts who is doing some gradirig work on the lots of Scott F. Parham of this city. These two cannon balls were in all probablity shot by the Con federate stationed at old Fort Macon as they seem to have come from that direction, and were probably shot at the “Yankees" as it ■will be remembered that. the “Yankees” attacked the fort from the Bogue Sound side. These cannon, balls are now on display in the office of the More- head Building rtnd Supply com pany, corner of 13th and Arendell street.' They will later be per- manantly placed on coricrete pil lars, orie on each side of the big anchor that marks' the entrance to Bogue park.

The original home of this insect was undoubtedly the pla teau region of Mexico or Central' America. Previoila' to 1892 the weevil: had .spread throughout Mexico, but little is known as to the, actual damage done. It pro- balily waa the direct cause of the abondment of cotton in certain regions of those countries. The weevil first mad^ its appiearence' in this country .pear Brounsvillej Texas in 1892. It is possible that it flew across the Rio GVand! or it may have been brought across iri seed cotton. Since that time the',pest has infested an. ever in creasing area each year. It has extended its range from 4(J to 150 miles annually. At the'present time it la. found in practically every part of the country where cotton ia grown. It reached North Carolina in 1919 and now it is found in the entire cotton growing area of the State. 'In.Piedmont North Carolina tho boll weevil problem has not been as .serious as In the Coastal plains, duo to,the fact that the pest is worst In, the regiori of mild wint ers; abundant rainfall, and where cotton makes rank growth, ’The. amount of damage varies greatly, ranging from 10 to as high as 90 percent of the crop in the loAver, warmer and wetter re-, gions in the most ' uiifortunatq yearn, A ; rainy summer, favors them; a very hot dry aummer checks them, A riiild winter fav ors the weevil; a cold winter checks them. Few are destroyed duo to, cold weather in North Carolina, Therefore other means of control are necessary, ,v , This insect is about one fourth of an inch long, 'VVhen it flrst em erges from the cotton plant It Is light brown in color, and gradual ly becomes darker, soon it ia grayish black, ■ The i'nkect'has a “anout" which is about half the, I'ength of the body.

GULLABILITY SAYS STATE S COTTON CROP WILL BE LARGE The Uplift: This is a dangerous afliiction, often very costly, and it seems to be fastened on many, aays the editor of Young Folk. Probably it is neither contagious, nor in fectious, People just get that Way, Its symptoms are easily de- tecte’d in others, but not so readi ly recognized in aelf. The beat way to explain thia disease is to illustrate how it acts. For ex ample, a young man falls into companionship with an individual given to reriiarkable statements about his experiences, achieve ments and successes. There is a large element of the braggart in him and his extravagant declara tions about himself have all the. earmarks of truth. What he says may be true, but it is quite likely that what he omits from his tale would change its value,' His lis tener—this young man—is taken in by the glamour of the descrip tions of extensive travél,-------------^— * ------------------ EXPERIMENT STATION COUNTS FIRE LOSSES IN SOUTHERN PINES Raleigh, Aug, 20,—North Caro lina’s cotton crop in 1926 will be as largo as tho record-breaking crop of last year, declared W, H, Rhodes, Jr., assi.stant statistican of the North - Carolina Co-opera tive Crop Reporting service last n'lght after his return from three-day tour of\ ,eastern and southern cotton growing areas of the state. , • While some believe, aaid Mr. Rhodes, that the recent dry weather was detrimental to the crop he was of the opinion that the cotton is better for it. On August -1 the condition report waa 70 per cent normal one. Since taht time pointed out the reporter, there has been a great improve ment in the condition. In speaking of the boll weevil, Mr. Rhodes declared so far the damage done the crop this year by the pest in negligible. He ex- preaaed concern however, should it rain. Shortly after this statement last night this section was visited by a downpour lasting for half an hour or more. THE “TERRIBLE” MR.

The experi ment station has recently under taken a study of the amount and extent of Are damage to mature timber. This damage to virgin timber is a .substantial portion 'of the tremendous, fire loss in the southern forests which, in 1924, amounted to 75.6 per cent of the total fire loss in the United Slitites, and covered 84.3 per cent of the area throughout the country burned over by forest fires. . Representative .stands of origi nal timber were carefully,.survey-, ed in the four States of Te.vas, Louisiana, Arkansas, and Misala- sippi.' In these fo/ests Mr. Dnm- mon found that the damage to longleaf pine was more than twice as great as that to''’short- leaf pine. This is accounted for partl.v by the fact that the big- Wlnston-Salem Journal: Remarking that ."even Attila, the terril^ie Hun, .laid aside his meat-axe at tlmès to cKück a baby under the chin, hum a sentimen tal tune or play with a favorite pup,” and that "all the hardboil- ed blockes in history, incluHing Blue Beard, Captain Kidd, Jack Dempsey and .Dinty Colbeck, had their softer intervals," the St. Louis Post^Dispatch has the fol lowing to .say about a certain Baltimorean whose pet antipathy is thé South; ■ Thua, we refiise to be astonish ed to find H.\i/. Mencken, the well known Baltimore head-crushed, dropping his gory mace for the bloomin’ lyre to twang a most sugary tribute to none other than Joliannea Brahms. He admits that for a week after hearing Brahms’ -so.xtet for^ string.^, opus 18, he could thiiik of noJ;hing but “the -modest and'fragile little epi sode: at the end of the flrat move ment, a lowly thing bf eight meas ures, thrown off like'a perfume," —It went to bed with him, It got ^ up witli him, it rode him "as If ij it vvero the queen of su.s'subi,” It" finally drove him to a two-col umn rhapsody on its i),uthor, Mencken apologizes for this lapse of his. He. denies that he, "an elderly and unromantic man, weighing 180 popnds," and toting a bad liver, has a aonaitive ear, a tender and impressionable heart or a beautiful soul. All of which i.s pure boncombo and sham. When it cornea to Srahms, to the old buggy-riding itaya in Balti more, to Cold Pilsner and half a dozen other things Mencken is as gushingly sentimental as an old lady over a pet dickbird. , It is . consoling times to' re call,'as Carlyle puts .it, that “un- dorneath our clothes we aro aîl naked.” In all probability the “terrible” Mr. Mencken wears a night shirt and in the winter it is possible that he even wears red li Walker Motor Co.

Delivered 25 Years Later The percentage of trees damaged j increased with their size. Over Letter Caui>ht In Chute la 50 per cent of the largest trees o f both species were scarred. It was found that in many in stances the fire wounds in the amaller trees heal over, ao that finally no scar may be visible un til the tr^e is cut down. In these cases, however, as well as in the more obvious damage to the larg;- er trees, the loss remains in the damage to the butt log of the tree,’ the most val|Uable timber that the tree will yield. This loaa takea several forms, such as high stumps left standing, lower portions of the butt log left lying in the woods, and later in lumber which, must be discarded or de graded because of the pitch.

There is also talk about improving educational ad-, vantages, economy and efficiency in government, honest, elections, etc., all of which sounds well and most of which, with the excep tion of the featuring of the pro tective tariff, probably, might be generally approved. There is little concern here as to how the Republicans conduct Winanet, 111., Aug. 22.—Grind ing down, Budda hill at a mile a minute, an eastbound fast freight train of the Chicago, Burlington aiid Qtiihcy piled up in thé heart of the town at 10:80 o’clock this morning, killing eight persons and injuring four others. ,A broken arch bar connecting the trucks òf a car is believed to have caused the wreck. Eighteen cars carrying perishable freight, were thrown from the tracks in front of the depot and overturn ed. , ,1 1.,| ■ The men killed and injured were tramps riding in one car. The four'taken to a hospitai were said to be near death. More than 1,200 feet of double tracked right of way was ripped up. None of the , men had beei) identified tonight. Hundreds of laborers were rushed to thé scene from division points a Galesburg and Aurora to repair the tracks. One tank car of molasses burst, flooding ,the tracks with the sticky fluid. Tho s.tation : agent at Winanet narrowly escaped being struck. The injured were hurried to the hospital at Princeton, several miles away. The dead-some be lieved to be mangled beyond re cognition were talcen to the depot freight room to await action of the Coroner’s jury. All. were young men. , ' The middle section of the train, which consisted largely of refrig erator cars, leaped from the rails •IS it passed the depot in the .cen ter of tnwn and pitched over on thè right of way. Many of the cars remained on the tracks when the airbrakes locked. , : The- cars contained fruit, meat and vegetables for the Cliicago market. ‘ ’ 1 '. The engine was thrown off the track but did not overturn and the crew escaped injury. The wreck was the fourth to oc cur at the spot within two years. One of the dead was belieyed identified as Wilbur Ward of Rob- ertsville,. Minn. He and four pth- ers killed are white and two are negroes. All of them were ;iap- parently between 20 and 24 years old. All of the four Injured were declared in serious condition. Orie of them, known to his compani ons a^s Richard Squares, was said to be on his way to Chicago to gain a legacy of $5,000. Another was Thomas Allen of Washington, D. C. HEAVY BLOW STRIKES OFF VIRGINIA COAST the wind was so'strong the tow ing hawser soon parted and the cutter Mascoutin, an even more powerful vessel than the Manning, was sent to the Modig. Around 9:80 o’clock the Manning and Mas coutin had succeeded in getting new lines aboard the freighter, the former at the bow and the latter , at the stern. Thus, with the Manning towing and the Mas coutin performing the difficult task of steering by means of only a stern line it was hoped to got the. steamer inside the 'Virginia capes without further difllculty. GOOD ROADS "^io~SCHboLS From New York Times. North Carolina not only: ha's progressed amazingly during the last decade or more, but has seen to it that her advance has been made known to an otherwise igno rant world. What she has done, has, indeed deserved recognition. One of the results of her empha sis on the building of ròads, for example, has recently been point ed 'out by her State Superintend ent of Instruction, He remarked that the quickening of the rural school, system of the State has been made possible by the road program started ,Jn 1921. Good roads facilitate the consolidation of school districts. They also in creased the attendance at school by malting possible, thé establish ment , of bus lines to carry the children to and from the schools. As a result many small echools not efflciently operated could be abolished, and том; attention was concentrated on developiing the Icombined schoólto. Th« number of schools for »whites; having twp or more teachers increased three fold, and, the number of schools for negroes having two or more teachers increased eightfold. The dependence of the educa tional system on the status of the roads has not always been dbvious to advocates of good roads throughout the country. To be sure, the foresight and. energy which North Carolina has shown in carrying out an improved edu cational program are as import ant as the wisdom in planning and executing the road program. But it is becoming apparent that we are turning again to roads a*s great factors in the economic and social development of the coun try. George Washington, who was one of the few Americans to think in terms of empire,,under stood this a hundred,and fifty or. more years ago, and 'throughput his life of public service tried to make his countrymen realize that roads were the skeleton of the state and that on good roads de pended the economic progress and welfare of the people. Shortly nfter his death -banals were hail ed; as‘ the great means of com munication, and no sooner had these been started than the rail roads, promised to outstrip to can als.’ With thè development of the automobile the . emphasis has shifted ,again to roads. North Carolina has now dramatized the value of a constructive road pro gram in enriching and developing 'an entire community. Ten years ago the greater portion of that state, barring a few main high ways, had so-called roads of clay or sand, which were occasionally traversable by motor, but too oft en SO sticky and covered with mud that travel was slow and unpro fitable. They differed little from the roads in that'same state a hundred years before. The high way improvement during the last few years .are only beginning, to have their reactioh>on the>generai development of the state. Al- rèady they have justified. ^ heavy expenditure on thém, and are giv ing an example to others. : •вэтриио шпЯ putì рлвц эли sa'4î ;-aoABj b:(i pun ‘X.i;unob Д0440 -^ui7 •вэор иищ jia0uoi;o9jupo utîojftauiv |0дош вэз1в:> шорЯи1д, рэ:1шя эух APPALACHIAN^ STATE NOR- MAL SCHOOL DOING ■ GOOD WORK Norfolk, Va., Aug. 22.—A north east ga]e that reached a veloc- ± a " e r T n £ d o i\ e tin .1 r 'ii''P - S ^ tm e ^ n fh i^ ^ n S iS ‘ity of 62 miles an hour swept the pijmaiies.

Of course the answer is that the party in North Carolina hasn’t a record it cares to discuss. But the at tempted camouflage is more likely to excite pi'cjudice tlian to allay it. Mr. Hayes will of course say that he isn’t ashamed of his party, affiliation. He will doubtless men tion that fact in'his'addresses.

' ' — — - — •-----------^— ’ iTHE PUBLIC SQUARE AGAIN Ì 'i > •V-- ЧÍV- : ' ’■ ’ ' A traveler from eastern North ■Carolina, motoring to Asheville, chanced to pass through Mocks- ville one day last week and stop ped over long enough to quench .iiis thirst at one Of the local drug stores. Looking out of the win dow at the public square he was moved to remark, that in thè last ten yearS' he had motored through every state in the South, but had yet to observe, in all of his travels a greater opportunity for pubHc improvement than was offered by the scene immediately before his .eyes. He marveled that a .town in North Carolina, the size of Mocksville, located on three State highways, should let such an op portunity to beautify itself knock and pass unanswered. This subject of improving the appearance of the public square is not a new one. On several oc casions have we advocated with emphasis the planting of trees, shrubbery, flowers, etc,, and the .enforcement of a set of traffic re gulations: designed to protect the ,8ame. It is not to be’doubted that all true Mocksvillians feoJ just as : wo do about the mattcA iand it is equally certain that.nothA ing hafj been ■ doue, because noi person or group cl’ per.soiis has assumed the initiative., ,■ " ■ The Enterprise g.ladly,'extends tJie free use of its columns to all Under our system of goyerii- méht Diivie County is à municipal corporation .d.eriving,'its autohrity f roni ; the :Sta to/ Leg! slatu re., , Its governmental powers ai‘e delegar ted: by the State and exercised, in administrative matters, by offlceri chosen , by the électgrato. under the majority гц1ё. ’ Г The management of the corpo rate affairs' of this county is a gigantic responsibility which should be entrusted only to men or women patently capable of as suming and discharging its mani fold duties.. In one sense of the word," it is just a big business, handling thousands upon thoiis- ands òf dollars each year; a busi ness much bigger: than any other enterprise within; its limits, for logic proves thatithe whole is al ways greater than any part there of.' .In, selecting a. person to help manage this business ,the. test lies not hin partisan policies, political issues or ^liticai creeds' ■ .^ e ^Tйrlff ■ ‘^Kich ha6 'alwâÿs been thé dividing, i Ijnfi, betiirfB«ni:the;. great Democratic and Republican partir ^B, ':hae. Just about as rightful, a place in ;tke mind of a voter in Davie .' County : concerned with a choice between two opposing can didates for the, same county of fice* as thè science ef Astronomy would have. Neither has any bearing whatsoever on the fitness of a person to exercise business, capacity and, therefore, should not be. considered by the indivi dual when the time comes to vote. To the contrary, the true test up on which, a ballot should be de termined relates entirely to the personal qualifications of the can didate himself. If he be capable and willing what rnattérs it if he' be also a Protectionist, a Demo crat, a' Baptist, a Methodist, ^ a Prohibitiohiet, an Evolutionist,' a Fundamentalist or . what-not? Would any such question arise in thé mind òf a person confront ed with the. problem of costing,a vote for a director Of a corpora tion in which he' or she held a stibstantial block of stock? A big business demands the 1 biding attention of trained and experienced business men, there fore, it behooves the vo'ters of Davie county to elect'the Citizens’ ticket this fall'"in toto,” because it i.4‘ composed ,of the very kind of men \yho are needed to put our: corporate affairs upon a construc tive, busines.s-llke basis.: LET CITIZENSHIP PREVAIL "Pre-convention days” in Davie are no more,' 'With the passing pf 'the Citizens’ 'Convention, Sat urday, August 14,, the 1926 ‘‘.pon-- vention season” was brought to an end and the caose of mdch speculation as to who might be drafted from the ranks of the voters to carry on the business of the County for the ensuing two years was hushed forever. Thith erto, the partisan Republicans haid assembled on divers occas ions, bickered as usual over the violent differences which; ’/seem eternally peculiar to: themselves, heard the swash of much tobacco juice and the jarring crash of an “aero-spittoon” as it dashed thr ough space into the wall of Davie’s temple of justice; listen ed to unheeded pleas for party harmony, ex'haus'ted themselves, with wrangling, only, at last to find comfort and consolation in a masculine courtship wherein the erstwhile leader of an opposing faction made a public tender of his love to the acknowledged leader of the party. The "pre-conventipn days,” however, while they lasted were full to the brim with conjectures^ and fanciful .speculations. The present administration of parti sans, excepting of cours» the clerk of the court, had established and, registered its increasingly doubtful record, .and it was sus pected! by ’ not a few that some changes would be made in tho "lino up” before the final curtain; should be. ruiig down ,upon the, closing scene of the Republican convention wherein nominations were to be made. But following, apparently, the theory that a poor record,is better than none at all, or that the present oillcinls were the . most capable to be found Jn their ranks, the partisans finally' proceeded to re-nominate the can didates who were successful in the 1924 elections and-to pin their hopes for success this year on such additional strength as might be gained by the nomination of a new and untired' candidate for the ofllce of clerk of the court. Thus wa's much speculation .satis-, fied. . , ' ■ ' , •Then ф те tne .qutìStións: "What will tho Citizens , do?" ‘,\Vhom wiji they nomiiiate as sui table drafters to be sent forth to do battle, with these inignaCious liai'tisans \viVo now .sit in iiutiiori- ,ty over the, fortunes of Dayie’s electorate?” Speculation'became ri|'e again and the^ minds of many njeii /and women Ayonderéd, But agiliiV was : spcculatibri stifled; ■this time ndt through the; liappen- ing of any unexpufted occurrence Or' event; not through partisan manipulatiph' or political maneu- rering; not tlirough a compromise of policies, but sole through'the e.\ercis'e of a singleness of pur pose, a unanimity of spirit and the. employment of sound judg ment and common sense, on the part of the Citizens themselves. A convention was called ; -it as sembled in orderly fashion, trans acted its business with becoming gracé and dignitj* and then ad journed. ThU ' cónventìon gave to the county a ticket composed of able and capable men; not a bunch lOf, selfrjje^tered pio^itici: ans; not áh iaggrégation of of- flcé-seekere; ,büt à splendid group of successful business men and progressive farmers; drafted from the electorate solely because of thei’r fitness 4Ò serve.' ‘ SÒ Spéculátion has how given wây,to,Observation I Our patrons aré admonished to observe closely thè tiòkets put but, respectively, by thè two major parties; the Citizens’ Party and the Partisan Párty. Study the names that ap pear thereon and then arrive at yoiir own conclusions. If every elector interested in the outcome of the approaching election in Davie County will re-act to the call of his or her conscience, partisanship, which seeks to de stroy our well-being in these parts will receive-á stunning blow on November 2, 1926, and Citizen ship will be elevated to its proper plaCe as the most potent and im portant factor in determining and defining tthe' character of our ad-, ministrative government.

He .Wa'de. ; needs the encouraging word and the helping hand of all who Would The total loss' for last month, contribute to one’s strength \vho is about to falli ^ was $170,150. vDu'ring the same The other day a ÿoung man, bright, honest, well bred and other-1 period last year the figure was wise .capable, walked into our office. He had lost his job. He had ' ?620,603. The lowe'stloss for any made a mistake. He was dOwn and out.. HIS GOAT WAS GONE. ' He was ready to throw up his hands and quit. We saw our chance. “God being our helper,” we thought, "before that young fellow gets out of our tiresence he is going to feel differently, he is goiijg to be ready to get nnother grip on life.’’ We were busy, very busy and but for the fact that we thought we might help a falling friend we should not have taken up but little time with him. As we advanced ideas and made suggestions to-the discouraged young man,' and tried to pour into his discouraged, disheartened, downcast soul a new spirit of courage an fight and enthusiasm, we could see him respond ing. Before he went out his spine was again straight, his head was lifted up, there was a new fire in his eyes. “Weil,” said he as he left, -‘-‘I may not be able to make it, but 1 have made up my mintl. that if I fall my face will be toward the enemy. I will not be a coward.” What ho will do remains to be seen. But we felt as that young previous month had been $202,890, for June,! 1925. There were 139 fires last month, the commissioner’s report shows, while for July, ,1925, there were 218. Only 10 ofr the fires last month reaped losses of $5,000 or more. The largest fire during the month was the burning of a motor company in Charlotte at a loss of .‘i;30,500.- The next was the burn ing of a knitting mill in Asheville at a loss of $12,500;:and a lumb er plant at Wallace, $10,000.
