it the harbinger of the bail
season. It can be said without
any qualification that, excellent
as all of the editions of the
Reach Guide have been in recent
years, the 1909 Reach Guide i-
the best hand book of the kind
ever issued by this or any other
publisher. The special
of the 1909 Guide is, next to
the text, quality of paper used
and the number and beauty of
the engravings furnished, the
world's championship series
being specially well dowered
with action pictures.
The American League Guide
for 1909 is in nil respects a first
class hand book of the National
game and a decided credit to the
American League and to

This is the eighth annual issue
of the Reach Guide as the official
hand booK of the American
League, and the twenty-seventh
consecutive year of its
as a book of record and

In the little town of
burg, West Virginia, on
1824, there were ushered
into grand old Southland of
ours a tiny, baby and this
little babe, though prominent in
his insignificance at that time,
was destined to be one of greatest
careers that fortune ever
to man. This small atom
of humanity, the joy of the
household, and the pride of his
father's heart became the
Stonewall Jackson.
Sprung from a sturdy Scotch-
Irish race, reared in a wild

environments capable of pro-

and soon afterwards his father
died. No property was left, and
the mother was forced to sew,
teach and care as best she could
for her little fatherless ones.
When only eight he saw his
mother pass away, but her dying
words and prayers were never
effaced from his memory.
While just budding into young
manhood he was forced to leave
home and employment. It
is sad to think of this young man
thus thrown upon the world
without mother, or sister, or any
human influence, save his own
will to keep him in the right
But during the period of
his wild rough life there burned
in his heart an ardent desire to
reach that condition in life from
which he had been thrust when
left a poor, orphan boy. And
even now, the great God who
has said that he will be a father
to the fatherless was opening up
the way to a great and notable
career for this poor homeless
boy.
In 1843 he secured the position
of a cadet in the academy at
West Point. Clad in homespun
clothes, his whole wardrobe
packed in a pair of saddlebags,
he set out for Washington.

GREENVILLE DEFEATS
THE HOME BOYS WIN THE

aid Received the Plaudits of
The Audience.
A very large audience
bled in the opera Friday
night, to hear the debate be-
tween representatives of the
debating societies of Goldsboro
and Greenville schools. The
occasion was looked forward
to much interest, as both
sides had worthy competitors,
and the home people went with
none too great expectancy that
their favorites would win. In
fact many held fears that Green-
ville would go down in defeat,
but the result was very different.
It was not an easy matter,
either, for the visitors certainly
made the home boys earn what
they got.
The was

Carolina should pass a law to

Goldsboro had the affirmative
and was represented by Thomas
Daniel and George Freeman,
while Greenville on the negative
was by Charles Has-
F. Taylor.
It was just when Linda
Smith, secretary of the home
society, announced the query and
called the first speaker in the
affirmative.
Mr. Daniels opened for Golds-
and the speeches being
to minutes he lost no
time getting down to his subject,
but rapidly and with vim showed
North Carolina's standing in the
scale of illiteracy, and through
comparisons and of
other countries and other States
showed the advantage of com-
education. He also
pointed out the disposition of
many North Carolina parents
to keep their children out of
school, and declared that a com-
education law was a
necessity to bring our State from
under the dark of
and raise her to the position
she should occupy.
Good speech indeed, was the
feeling of the audience as he
closed amid a burst of applause.
Naturally there was then some
as to how Greenville
would measure up in reply, and
the audience soon dropped into
quietness for
the first affirmative speaker.
Mr. Haskett arose, and had
not uttered half a dozen sen-

ability of the home tide was well

out an array of statistics of
school enrollment and attendance
that were strong for his side of
the argument, and the audience
showed its appreciation of his
good speech.
Mr. Taylor closed the negative
for Greenville. He captured his
hearers at once by wading right
in to his competitors for baaing
their argument on figures ten
years old, taken from that gen-
census of 1900, overlooking
the splendid progress North Car
has made under local
taxation since that time.
He declared that legislative en-
of compulsory education
is not proper, if it come at all it
should be by vote of the people.
He declared such a law is not
necessary, produced
showing that many
States having compulsory
the law is more or a
failure. Comparing the
of different States, he
showed that while Massachusetts
with dense population, excellent
roads school equipment
by by such a
a law, i. would be a burden to
North Carolina with her sparse
population, miserable roads and
inadequate school houses. Such a
compulsory law, he said,
apply to both races, and
force it would mean the
of all that the State had
accomplished by the adoption of
the constitutional suffrage
amendment. He was frequently
applauded.
Each of the speakers had four
minutes rejoinder of which they
made good use. All four of the
young men acquitted themselves
well, but it was not hard to see
that the honor of victory be
longed to Greenville.
The judges. Revs. F. Huske
and H. B. and Dr.
Charles Laughinghouse, sent up
written votes their seats
without conferring with each
other, and when these were
opened the unanimous vote was
for the negative. While this
decision was expected, the an-
greeted with a
burst of applause and
were showered upon the
victors.
Beautiful bouquets were sent
on the stage for all four of the
young men.
The exercises were made more
enjoyable by a piano solo rendered
by Miss Ellie Brown, and a vocal
duet by Misses Bessie Haskett
and Smith, with violin
by Miss Lillian Carr and
piano accompaniment by Mis
Mary Lucy Dupree.
Prof, J. L. Hathcock, principal
of the Goldsboro school, came
with the young men from that
town and he thanked the people
of Greenville for the cordiality
and kind treatment accorded
them.
Superintendent Smith also
expressed his thanks to
people and expressed the hope
that there would be more
contests

CULTIVATION OF

amount scarcely ever falls
the growing season, hence
we must keep in the the
winter rains for the use of the
corn at any time that it may
need it. It is a well known fact
a corn crop is ruined by a
drought. But if the land was
broken curly and deeply so
it caught the winter rains and
then if by proper cultivation the
moisture is kept in the soil a
good corn crop can be made in
spite of a drought. One of the
main objects of cultivation from
now on, there fort, will be to
cultivate shallow and
to conserve the moisture which
is lost mainly by in-
to the air. If the soil is kept
loose on top evaporation is check-
ed. Hence a weeder or Other
light harrow or cultivator should
be run over the soil every week
or ten days until the corn is too
large. This loose dirt on top

the acts in the same way in
retaining moisture.
After the first or second
and after the corn is ix
to eight inches high, all plowing
should De shallow. A turn plow,
a long scooter or other
deep running is not
the best thing to cultivate corn
with after the roots get out into
the soil. Any deep plowing
after this breaks the roots,
cutting off th-- power of the corn
to get and water. This
early and frequent cultivation
also keeps down the weeds and
grass. It is usually the grass
that comes up with the corn that
gives the most trouble and that
has to be gotten out by expensive
hand hoeing. The best time to
kill these is before they appear
above surface, that is just when
they are sprouting. This is
ways just after a rain. Stirring
the soil dislodges them and kills
them,
This work must be done just
as soon after a rain as the soil is
dry enough to allow it. After
the grass is an inch high and
after the soil has crusted the
weeder or harrow will not do
much good. Many farmers make
signal failures on this point by
waiting two or three days too
long after a rain and often until
they see a coat of young grass.
The farmer must watch
and gee there in time or
his is largely lost. Such
implements should be used as
will not require more than
two trips row. This is
of the things not
often given much attention on
the farm- The important thing,
then, is never to let a crust form
on the soil since by that time the
grass is growing above ground
and the moisture is going out at
rapid rate.

Mrs. Daniel, the wife of
K. K. Daniel, a well known

able circumstances. He had
some time entertained a grudge
against automobiles, a
certain one driven by a young
man of Shelby, Mr Rush
Thompson. The young man with
his car carried Dr. T. E. Me
Brayer, wife and three children
to Fallston, and passed Mr
Walker, who was plowing a mule
near the road. The mule was
frightened by the machine, but
was not unmanageable. The
tragedy occurred as the
bile party were returning home.
When within about two miles of
Shelby, on the same road they
met Mr. Walker again, this time
driving the mule to a buggy.
When Walker saw the machine
he got out of the buggy and pull-
ed the mule and buggy directly
across the road, thus obstructing
the passage. Mr. Thompson re-
quested him to come on and pass,
he having already stopped the
car. Mr. Walker refused to
move, but urged Thompson to
pass him. This Thompson at

party. Just as he did
so he fell in his tracks and with-
