During the week beginning Mon-
day, March the Southern Railway
company, in line with its policy of
doing everything possible for the bet-
of agricultural conditions in
the territory traversed by its lines,
run two special agricultural
trains. One of these trains will be
operated In co-operation with the
department of agriculture and
immigration and will spend the en-
tire week on the Richmond division,
embracing the lines between Rich-
and Danville and Richmond and
West Point. Meetings have been
ranged at twelve points at which the
train will stop. The other will be run
over the lines of the Southern Rail-
way and the Queen and Crescent
route in Kentucky co-operation
with the department of agriculture
and the college of agriculture of that
state. Twenty-four stops will be made
by this train.
Each of these trains will be in
charge of parties made up of men of
scientific knowledge and practical ex-
who will be able to give in-
formation of the greatest value. Sub-
be arranged to meet the
most pressing needs of the different
sections visited. Bad weather will not
be allowed to interfere with the meet-
as all will be held in the
coaches which the trains will
carry.
The Southern Railway in connect-
ion with other lines is furnishing ab-
free of charge a train with
which the State College of
of Georgia is making a forty
seven day tour of the state. The great
expense entailed by the running these
trains is borne by the Southern in the
belief Us interests are identical
with those of the farmers of the
south and that it will eventually be
repaid by the improvements in con-
that will result from an in-
creasing adoption of better methods
of agriculture.

There are numerous cracker factories
throughout the South, but they are
not known extensively outside of the

and it is because they do not put
their goods up in attractive packages
and advertise them.
There is no table syrup in the

and yet simply because of aggressive
and attractive advertising by certain
firms in the West and Northwest we
do not seem to know how to call for
anything but their particular brand
of corn syrup; and if we did call for
other syrups the grocer would not
know anything about them.
There are being made in the South
good brands of cotton hosiery,

prompted to call for those that are
made in New York and

OUR lesson follows in order the
one of n week ago. Elisha was
with Elijah until the whirl-
wind separated them and took
Elijah out of sight. His mantle drop-
to Elisha and Elisha's prayer was
answered that a double portion of Eli-
Jab's spirit might rest upon him.
The same miracle occurred to him
as to Elijah tho prophet. On the
other side of Jordan be began his
career as a prophet- At Jericho the
supply of water came from a brackish
stream, unpalatable unhealthful.
Elisha went to the fountain and there
performed a miracle similar to the one
performed by Moses at the Wells of
Moses at To this day the
spring is known as Elisha's Fountain.
Again we read that one of these
of the or students,

the Prophet Eli-
helped
to exercise faith.
She had a cruse
of oil, which in-
creased in supply
as she poured It
from vessel to
vessel until she
had sufficient for
ail her debts.
Several other
miracles of n re-
ration
character are the
noted, the most. prominent of which
is related in our lesson, namely, tho
restoration of a boy to life and health.
The thing connected with Elisha's ex-
which has attracted to him
world-wide attention and general rep-
was his cursing of forty-two
youths.
A Just Rebuke and Lesson
The thought is that he condemned
them, just Jesus said to some with
most kindly art, unto you, scribes
and etc. So Elisha pro-
woe or blight upon those
youths of various ages who taunted
him. He declared that something
would befall them. Divine Justice
would square accounts and vindicate
him. Forthwith two she bears came
upon the rabble, put them to flight,
and forty-two of the mob were torn
and or less. Opponents
of the Bible read into this tho forty-
two children were killed, but nothing
of the kind is stated.
We are to remember that the Israel-
under tho leadership of their King
and Queen Jezebel had been
turned to idolatry, and that although
the Prophet Elijah had re-established
the true religion, the King and Queen
and the majority of the people merely
tolerated it. These youths who had
against tho Prophet were prob-
ably the young men boys of Jeri-

This reminds me of the work I was
doing when I received notice of my
appointment as one of the trustees,
I was Chopping a very grassy row
of cotton and was about as green as
to what to do as the grass I was chop-
ping. I had just about hours to
make inquiry of my lamented friend,
Dr. E, H. whether to go or
not, and to get to Kinston in time
for the train that evening. I decided
to attend the meeting which was
called for the next day, so I set out
for the depot as soon as I could get
ready and got as far as Goldsboro
that night. There I fell in with
Judge Connor who gave me a letter

Robeson County Let
Them Out to Grab Stumps.
In the year of grace 1910, in the
eleventh month of the year, the
of the county of Robeson elect-
ed five men, known as commissioners,
to administer the affairs of the county
justly and righteously.
In this county certain transgress-
ors are sentenced for period of vary
length to the chain gang, to work
upon the roads; and it is the duty of
to employ this
gang, under a keeper of their
to work the roads of the county
and keep them in repair, so that the
people may travel up and down upon
these roads, and go to and fro in the
land.
Now It came to pass in the year of
grace 1911, in the second month of the
year, the same being February, while
it was yet early in the month, though
roads in various portions of the
were in exceeding bad condition,
the work of the chain gang
it came to pass that there were no re-
quests from any particular portion
of the county for the gang, so the
commissioners said to the keeper, Mr.
W. D. Go to, now, we know
that thou art a careful man and a
prudent; take therefore the gang call-
ed chain to thy farm hard by the
town called Lumberton, on the road
called Carthage, and do with them
as thou wilt for the space of days;
and for this thou shalt feed the men
at thine own expense and shalt also
work the road that runs through thy
farm; and return again to us at the
end of days.
Now the keeper had upon his land
many stumps, in an abundance called
galore, so much so that to the passer
by they seemed to freckle the land-
scape.
So the keeper did even according
to the word of the commissioners,
and after working the specified
ch of road, which is but little more
than a stone's throw in length, the
keeper caused the men whose labor
had been so generously given him by
the commissioners to toil diligently
with the stumps, and lo, before the
days were numbered, to the passer-
by the stump-freckled fields
appeared as clean as the palm of a
man's hand
man's hand, and much store of stumps
was piled at the keeper's house.
And the people and

among them who having a force of
hands and many fields needing work
would lend those hands to his neigh-
for a month for their keep, be-
cause no one of his overseers asked
to be allowed to work the hands
And some said it was a shame and
an outrage, and other some smiled,
and said it was a good joke on the
commissioners, and other some said
the joke was on the people.
Meanwhile, nothing was done to-
ward improving the roads of the
county.

the keeper's stumps, to the keeper's

NEWSPAPER PRESS FOR SALE.
Having placed an order for a new fast news-
paper and book press, to be installed the middle of
April, we have a newspaper press that will be
sold at a bargain for delivery May 1st.
It is a Press, large enough
to print four pages, or two
pages and has steam fixtures so that it can be run
either by hand or power. Been in use six years.
It is a splendid press for a weekly paper and
is in good condition to do many years good
vice. We used a press from the same factory for
years before installing this one, printing a daily
paper with small circulation about years of that
time. Its speed, an hour, is too slow for a daily
paper with the present circulation of The
tor, and for that reason we are having to displace
it with a faster press.
Any one interested and wanting a good press
for a weekly newspaper, can see this press at work
every day in the Reflector building, before our new
press is installed. Any one who cannot come to
see it at work and examine it, can get particulars
by addressing

PASSING AWAY OF ONE OF
GREENVILLE'S OLDEST CITIZENS
COMING TO SOON.
COLONEL WILLIAM MAY KING.
Posing of A Long and
Life.
Honorable
In the death of Mr. William M.
King, which occurred at o'clock
this morning at his home on Fifth
street, there passed away one of
Greenville's oldest, best and most
esteemed citizens. He was years
of age, had been in feeble health
since November and confined to his
bed about three weeks.
William May King was born No-
18th, 1833, in Falkland town-
ship, Pitt county, and spent his early
life on the farm. He was a
of the Home Guards in
and became a colonel of the militia.
His first official position was as
justice of the peace under appoint-
of Governor In 1870
he became a county commissioner,
serving them for two years, and was
one of Pitt county's members of the
State constitutional convention in
He was elected sheriff in 1882
and served six years, being chosen
to that office three times in
In 1894 he was elected
of deeds and served two years,
and was again com-
missioner in 1896, serving for two
years.
Mr. King moved from his farm to
Greenville early in the year 1885 and
spent the remainder of his life here,
but never losing interest in his farm.
He was an exemplary citizen, strong
in his character and personal con-
yet always respecting the
opinions of others, and was noted for
his abundant charity and deeds of
kindness. For years he was a
Mason, being for many years
Master of the lodge at Falk-
land and also at Greenville after
his membership here. He was
also a Royal Arch Mason, being a
charter member of the first chap-
ever established in Greenville.
In November, 1856, he married Miss
Dicey Almeta Peebles, the aged wife
surviving him. They celebrated their
golden wedding in 1906. There are
four surviving children, Mrs. Pattie
Winstead, of Rocky Mount; Mrs. S.
C. Wells, of Wilson; Mrs. G. B. King,
of Washington City, and Mrs. L. I.
Moore, of New Bern. These were all
with him in his last hours. He also
leaves two sisters, Mrs. A. V. New-
ton, of Fountain and Mrs. Ben Moore,
of Farmville.
At o'clock Sunday morning
the body will be taken from his late
residence, under Masonic escort, to
the church
on Dickinson avenue,
where services will be conducted by
Rev. W. O. From the church
the body will be taken to the old
home place near Falkland, where
the burial will take place at
o'clock, p. m., with Masonic honors.
Concert Tour Oxford
Singing Class.
The singing class of 1911 from the
Oxford Orphanage will start on the
first or Eastern concert tour on
Thursday, March The first tour
will close in or weeks, and after
a brief rest a second tour will be-
gin.
These annual concerts have reached
a really high standard of excellence.
The children and those who
them represent a cause very
near to the hearts of our people. Ev-
en if the tour and entertainments
were not in the interest of a great
work, the character of the concerts
would merit large and liberal pat-
An admission fee, as a rule,
charged and for this the children
give full value and more.
The funds brought to this
through these tours help much
in its maintenance. Today it is pro-
for children and, since it
was established in 1872, by the grand
lodge of Masons of North Carolina,
more than girls and boys have
directly under its blessed min-
Never have the benefits of this
noble institution been restricted to
the children of Masons. The primary
conditions of admissions have always
been the destitution, the need of the
children.
While the management of the Ox-
ford Orphanage strive to exercise the
strictest economy consistent with
effectiveness in the work, we have in-
formation that an Increase of its an-
income is now essential for its
maintenance even up to its present
standard of efficiency. Surely our
whole people will see to it that this
work is not restricted because of lack
of financial support.
The class begins its first tour bet-
equipped than usual and with
bright prospects for a most success-
tour.
Our people will delight to patron-
the concerts soon to be given. It
is our privilege to continue to as-
in this and in any other way a
cause so worthy.

Harrow While You Plow.
A to the Oklahoma Farm
Journal
Everyone in the semi-arid country
who has tried it has recognized the
benefits of following each half-day
or day's plowing with the harrow
before turning out of the field, but
many of us, especially on hot days,
hate to get off of the smooth riding
plow and take up the toughest of
farm, following of the
row over the soft ground. Then again,
we get in a hurry and decide to finish
this hitching to the
harrow, and a lot of valuable
is lost that should have been
saved and the ground is not in the
tilth it should be.
When I first saw advertised a
row attachment for a plow I exclaim-
ed, But like most of my
brothers, when I began to figure on
the cost, added to the large amount
already invested in farm machinery

never hitched to the plow without

mind and urging me to while

work, do it well, and it cost

I picked up two pieces of and
one piece three feet long, and
made them into a-harrow with a
three-foot spread, and nailed a
brace across the back end. Went to
the hardware store and bought a
dime's worth of 40-penny wire hails
and drove half of them into the
row so they would cut four inches
apart, giving them a slight back slope
so they would not gather the trash;
put a clevis on the front end and ran
a stout wire from it to the front of
the plow-frame. Then bent a loop in
the thread end of an old wagon end-
gate rod, ran the clevis bolt and the
harrow through the eye of the rod
and wired the loop end to the back
end of the plow-frame

Washington Curios Sealed

It is frequently asserted that the
church too often turns the

comes the rich. The truth is, how-
ever, that such is not the attitude
of the church as such, and that man-

to have a on this score,
spends more time complaining about
the attitude of the church toward
him than he spends going to church.
Most exceptions prove the rules to
which they are exceptions and it is
only a coincidence, if it is true, that
the church contains more rich
than poor people.
The church can be nothing but
what the people who attend it make
it, and it is illogical to plead an ab-

that lines of this sort should be
drawn, but often those who do the
most complaining are the ones who
draw the lines. The church is the
poor man's home and hearthstone
and the question of is one
of the smallest problems that
confront him. To draw such lines
is paying more attention to the god
of mammon than to the God of love.
On a per capita basis the financial

Training a Dog to Steal
Who says the colored brother
enterprise, ingenuity or talent t
George Jones, of Berkley, Va., has a
trained dog. He taught the dog to
steal chickens scientifically, seizing
a fowl by the throat so it could not
cackle and conveying to his
hiding safely near by. By this pro-
a roost would be deprived in a
night without a sound of invasion
and without peril to skin. No
doubt after each theft the dog would
wag his tail and congratulate him-
self as an honest, faithful and useful
he was according to his
lights. By a stretch of the law
George was convicted and sent to the
rock pile, along with his dog; and
the dog actually stole chickens and
carried them to the convict camp to
his master.
This is the most
curing plan yet discovered. It is
better even than the invention of the
soldiers in the war, consisting of a
buggy whip and at the small end of
it a weighted cord which by a deft
movement could be wrapped about
the neck of a sleeping chicken at
almost any height or distance and
the victim yanked off the perch and
drawn to hand without a protest
a struggle. Roanoke Times
Blessings in Disguise.
High priced labor and scarcity of
labor are blessings in disguise for
he Southern farmer. Necessity will
compel the farmer to put into
intelligent methods and economic
principles. He must get out of the
old, stupid, careless and indifferent
way. He must put life-giving
mus into his dead soil and deepen
the soil until it will yield the high-
est return for the labor invested. He
must realize that his soil is his cap-
ital stock and that any kind of
that does not show an increase
in the capital stock
must stagnate and in the end result
in Union Farmer.
One thing is certain, and this is
that the Southern farmers must rapid-
as possible substitute horse-power
and machinery for much human
labor. There are plenty of laborers
if their labor was made more effect-
through the use of machinery as
is done in the F. Massey,
in Progressive Farmer.

ONE MULE CAUSED
A GENERAL MIX-UP
LOST CANADA.
STARTED WITH A BALE OF HAY.
Rut Came To An End With Only
Small Damage.
Friday afternoon a mule drawing
la cart In which were three men, was
coming up Third street. One of the
men sat in front driving, while the
I other two sat on a bale of hay be-
hind. Just before reaching Evans
street that bale of hay took a notion
to tumble out of the cart, and it also
rolled out the two men who thought
they were holding it down, the hay
and men piling in the street together.
This frightened the mule and he
jumped off for a run, giving the
driver all he wanted to attend to.
The split log drag drawn by a pair
of mules at work on Third street
at the time, going westward, and the
runaway mule to dodge this outfit
hung a wheel of the cart into the
wheel of a buggy hitched to a horse
tied in front of Dr. S. of-
The collision of the two vehicles
upset the cart and threw the driver
out into the split log drag, but the
driver of the drag held his mules
and they did not seem to mind the
extra weight on their load. The
shafts of the buggy were broken and
the horse between them turned
around with his head to the buggy
to get a view of what was going on,
but did not break the tie rein and
get away.
The running mule went only a lit-
further when the cart wheel tan-
with a telephone pole in front
of Mr. J. Q. and things came
to a stand still, except the crowd of
folks attracted by it rushing up to
see what had happened. The sud-
den taking-up of the mule at the
telephone pole caused him also to
reverse ends, so that his head instead
of his tail was next to the cart.
It was an amusing spectacle from
start to finish, and about the only
damage out of it all was the broken
buggy shafts.

between the colonies Canada.
They were Charles Carroll, of Carrol-

They were sent by the Continental
Congress to Canada on the embassy,
which had the effect of securing for
the patriots the neutrality

While the American ambassadors
were endeavoring in Montreal to en-

to that city an address to the Ca-

Congress, in which John Jay, the
writer of the address, alluded to the

Number II,
Where Farmers Fail in Fertilization for Tobacco
O. L. JOYNER, President Farmers Consolidated Tobacco Company
There is no one thing that is more
generally ignored by farmers, or
treated Indifferently by them, than
the matter of fertilizing for the to-
crop, while In reality, there is
probably no one feature In the grow-
of tobacco that more import-
ant. For a long time, our farmers
used almost exclusively for tobacco
a brand of fertilizer analyzing 3-8-
that is to say, a fertilizer con-
per cent, ammonia, per
cent phosphoric acid and per cent
potash, which to be more explicit
means that in a ton of fertilizer
containing this analysis there are
pounds of ammonia, pounds of
potash and pounds phosphoric
acid. By actual test, it Is known
that pounds of tobacco takes
out of the soil about pounds of
potash and from to pounds of
ammonia. Of course, our tobacco
soils all have a certain amount of
ammonia and potash, but the
question for the farmers is
whether this ammonia and potash
that is present in the soil, is avail-
able in sufficient quantities to make
complete plant food for a growing
crop of tobacco. Most of our farm-
use about pounds of
to tho acre. This means they
put in pounds of potash and
pounds of ammonia In commercial
form. If there is sufficient quantity
of potash and ammonia available in
the soil to complete the plant food,
all well and good, but if not, the re-
is a poor crop of tobacco, some-
thing with which a great many of us
have been afflicted during the last
few years, and in this connection,
here, it is not out of place to
say that no amount of fertilizer is
going to make a good crop of to-
when such abnormal seasons
as we have had in Eastern North
a for the last few years
although proper preparation
will, to a large extent, overcome the
deficiency in seasons, and will en-
able the plant to employ the plant
food put in the land to a much bet-
advantage. The Important
however, with farmers is, do
we use enough ammonia and potash
in our tobacco fertilizer As a gen-
rule the answer is
ably, no. We should therefore use
fertilizer running higher, especially
in potash.
One of the most painstaking and
intelligent farmers in my knowledge
Mr. Leon F. Evans, has clearly
by a series of experiments
that the use of guano running high
in sulphate of potash will pay. In
his tests, he used fertilizer running
from per cent to per cent potash,
and from to per cent ammonia.
From tobacco on which he used
pounds of fertilizer analyzing per
cent potash, he sold something over
worth of tobacco per acre more
than from the tobacco fertilized
with 3-8-3, and all the tobacco was
treated, cultivated, cured and sold
alike, except in the matter of
It has been found, very much to
the disadvantage of our Eastern
North Carolina tobacco, especially
that its burning qualities are not as
good as the burning qualities of the
old belt tobacco and in a series of
meetings last fall, held under the
of the Tobacco As-
of the States, and
participated in by Mr. E. H. Matheson
an expert from the United States De-
of Agriculture, this import-
ant matter was urgently called to the
attention of the farmers. Mr. Mathe-
son contended that the general use
by farmers of a fertilizer running
or per cent in sulphate of potash
would very materially Improve the
burning qualities of our tobacco, and
thus materially add to its value. This
matter should be seriously considered
by all our farmers, for while in in-
instances, may ma-
add to the money value of
their crops of tobacco by using more
potash, yet, to improve the general
quality of our tobacco, farmers, us a
whole, must adopt this system of
fertilizing.
The use of pounds of
running per cent sulphate pot-
ash gives to the tobacco the
ate use of lbs. of sulphate pot-
use of pounds of sulphate of pot-
ash. That soil would therefore have
to be very deficient In potash content
that did not yield a good crop of to-
with pounds of such
in normal seasons. The serious
condition and discussion of this
question will redound to tho
good of the tobacco farmers.
A Pointer to Farmers.
The Sun is always glad to aid the
farmers and do what it can for their
advancement and the promotion of
their Industries and give them a
greater success.
Mr. W. C. the buyer for
the A. T. Company, gives us a hint,
and we use it in the hope that it will
be beneficial to the farmers and at
the same time enable them to real-
better results from the sale of
their tobacco. The suggestion is
Before planting tobacco seed blow
the carefully to get out the chaff
or faulty seed, and in this way you
can rid the planting of seed that will
make a faulty of tobacco. Or
else, another way is to put the seed
in just before planting, and
this will bring all of the faulty seed
to the top and can easily be
The farmers are requested to do
this before they bow their plant bed,
and thus improve the next crop. Such
a precaution has been known to in-
crease the value of crops In other
states to a very handsome per cent.
It is worth Sun.
The Man Who Helps.
A town's best asset is a bunch of
men who have money, enterprise
public spirit. A man who establish-
es an enterprise which enables many
other people to a living while
he makes something on their labor,
is a desirable citizen and public
The man who has a pay-
roll to meet is not a theoretical but

Rotation for Farm Conditions.
Now is the time to plan crop rota-
for the farm and while changes
may be made, if necessary, it will be
found most satisfactory to lay out
the fields and plan the crop rotations
so that there will be system and
method in the farming operations.
A lawyer or doctor may spend weeks
studying one case, why should we
not put our best though and
time in planning a rotation of
crops for the farm Surely the
of tho matter merits our
best Farmer.
Sometimes the harder a man is
to land the less he pleases the
who lands him.
The more talking a man does the
more denying he has to do.
Nitrate of Soda for Crops,
If wheat or oats do not seem
thrive as they should, it is o good
practice to apply some nitrate of
soda. I have used as much as
pounds an acre on wheat, always
plying when the leaves are dry, to
avoid scalding. In one experiment
I increased the wheat crop nine bush-
els an acre on part of fie Held with
an application of of
nitrate, this part making bushels
where the rest of the Held made
bushels, the land being in rather a
low state of fertility. But followed
that wheat with peas and gathered
only the peas, the next season
that land made a fine corn crop. Could
have made heavier one had fol-
lowed the peas with crimson clover,
but at that time we had not found
out the value of this clover.- V.
