Another Joint Meeting Fri Night
The Tobacco Board of Trade
and the Chamber of Commerce
met in joint session in the court
house, Friday night at o'clock.
D. J. Whichard, president of the
Chamber of Commerce and R. O.
president of the
co Board of Trade, presided over
the meeting. H. B. Smith was
requested to act as secretary,
in the absence of the regular
secretary of the All
of the members of the
of tobacconists were present
except one, and the attendance
of the members of the Chamber
of Commerce was very gratify-
it being far better than it
has been at any meeting in quite
a while-
In calling the meeting order
President Whichard express.-d
his gratification at having the
members of the Tobacco Board
of Trade present. He stated
that the meeting was held in the
interest and welfare of the com-
and all who were pres-
should free to suggest
any measures that were for
growth and improvement. Mr.
concurred in the re
marks of Mr. Whichard. He
that at the request of the
Chamber of Commerce he had
called the members of the
co board of Trade that they
might join with the chamber in
its efforts for measures of in-
Mr. Whichard stated that the
committee, composed of Mr
Jeff Mr. Person and himself,
went before the of County
Commissioners at their last meet-
and urged the acceptance
the proposal of Hon. Jno. H.
Small to have an expert road
builder in the employ of the
Federal government to construct
a mile of good road somewhere
in the county, and that the com-
missioners suggested old
plank road. The commissioners
accepted the proposal, and the
mile of road will be built west of
Greenville at an early date. The
president also stated that a com-
had also gone before the
Board of Aldermen requesting the
improvement of Ninth street in
the same way as the road.
Alderman Flanagan stated to the
meeting that owing to shortage
in funds just now the aldermen
are unable to do much in
the streets, but that very
likely Ninth street will be
proved if the Norfolk South-
railway will agree to haul the
clay.
The bridge being constructed
across Tar river was discussed
very freely by a number of the
members of both organizations.
All of deplored slow,
unsatisfactory progress being
made toward its completion. The
tone of some of the speeches did
not indicate the best of feeling
in the matter. It was said that
the town, especially the to-
interests, bad suffered to
the extent of of
and that the people living
on the north side of the river
were being put to great
and loss on account of
not hawing access to Greenville.
After many motions had been
made and as many amendments
offered, each being discussed in
a lively manner, a committee
composed of F. M. Wooten,
chairman and H. L. Carr
and J. F. was

asKed to announce in the local
paper the date of the probable
completion of the bridge,

the river may know what to de-
pend upon as to being able to

also offered and adopted that
two bodies should meet again
next Friday night to receive the
report of the and take
further action if it be necessary.
Dr. Laughinghouse was called
upon to offer the assembly the
suggestions which he made last
Monday night in reference to the
Chamber of Commerce, its
to the town, The
doctor did not mince words in his
arraignment of the merchant;
here. He said that he saw in
the assembly lawyers, doctors,
farmers, tobacconists, teachers,
and a very small number of
merchants. In fact, in his
ion, but for the regular attend-
of one or two, the mer-
chants could an alibi, so
far as the meetings of the
were concerned.
He said the chief object of,
the organization is to secure r
migrants, to bring about growth i
and enlargement, and
these things no one profits any
more than the merchants; that
in his opinion it is high time for
them to work up and change
their ways doing. At the
conclusion of his speech. Dr.
Laughinghouse was heartily
cheered.

the town as an institution, not

Now they have a great big
story about some one try-

It must be painful to
late Taft that he is bringing

their slim chances of success.

Be With Seed Corn.
Director C. B. Williams, of
the North Carolina experiment
station, in a bulletin issued to
the farmers of the state on
seed corn for large
practice of selecting seed
corn from the barn late in the
springs costs the farmers of
North Carolina in decreased
yields of shelled com, an amount
equal to more than live million
dollars annually. Just so long
as this method is followed, just
so long will the corn-growers of
the state lack this amount of
producing what they might with
the same treatment under
conditions were they to use
better methods in the selection
of their seed for planting
poses. One day spent in the
field selecting seed corn properly
will pay better in increased
yields than most any labor per-
formed during the entire year.
are many ways in
which this work might be done
satisfactorily under local con-
and practices. Economy
of performance of the operation
is always to be looked after, but
not at a sacrifice of efficiency.
Where corn is gathered from
stalks in the field in the usual
way, a good method for the corn
grower to use is to sling a cot-
ton-picking bag over his should-
or take a basket in the hand
and go through and make the
selections from the field of corn

which have two well-developed
ears per stalk, remembering that

should select from the stalks
that will yield the largest
amount of shelled corn per stalk.
The reason why it is advised
from two-earned stalks is
because in testing and studying
The in Good Roads.
The office of public roads in
the Federal department of
culture recently issued a
tin showing what bad roads cost
the farmers of the county. It
tells the farmers that on the
improved roads of this country,
includes almost almost all
of them, it cost them on the
average cents a mile for every
ton of produce which they haul.
The English and French farmers
using the hard, smooth roads of
those countries pay only to
a mile for the same work The
difference in cost, which the
farmers of this county had to
meet for moving the harvest of
1905-6, amounted to
Our farmers, therefore, get
less for a single harvest
than they would have received
if the roads of this country were
improved to the stand-
ard of good public highways.
Nelson and the Spaniards.
