We learn that several ministers 
in the western part of the State 
are preaching that the end of the 
world is at hand. They say the end 
will be this year, and are exciting 
the more ignorant classes to such 
an extent that it is likely to hinder 
farm work considerably, as a 
great many of the farmers believe 
it and say it is no use to make 
any preparations for crop 
as they have enough provisions 
to last this year and they will not 
need any more. We think they 
had better pay no attention to 
any such preaching and go to 
work, for of the end no man 
The last issue of the Bethel 
Voice contained the announcement 
of the death of its editor, Mr. 
Robert Ward, which occurred on 
the evening of February 22nd. 
Mr. Ward was first taken with the 
la grippe, the disease developing 
in pneumonia from which he died. 
Only three months before being 
taken sick he was married, and 
indeed sad that the bridal robes 
were so soon laid aside for the 
sable habiliments of widowhood. 
He was a young man of great 
and a useful citizen. The 
Voice also announced that the 
death of Mr. Ward would cause a 
suspension of the paper. His 
death and the suspension of the 
paper are both to be regretted.

A W. road between Rocky Mount

three grown boys sitting and 
standing around the front of one 
store. What was seen there can 
be seen at almost any small rail- 
road station, and in every town as 
to that, but we just happened to 
count the number at this place out 
of curiosity. From the dress of 
several of the number we judged 
them to be farmers, and wondered

The Ninth Annual Convention 
of the Sunday School Association 
of North Carolina, which was held 
last in Wilmington, was an 
occasion calculated to do much 
good for and create greater inter- 
est in the Sunday School work of 
our State. There were many 
prominent workers from various 
sections of the State present and a 
lively interest was manifested in 
the convention. The writer was 
present during a part of the con-

ore and profit the meeting

We have had considerable 
lately in trying to get the Re- 
delivered promptly to 
subscribers at certain 
Last week one subscriber came in 
and told us the papers were very 
irregular at Grifton, and Saturday 
night we received a card from an- 
other subscriber at the same office 
asking what the trouble was, and 
saying that the papers were late 
in reaching there at least half the 
time, occasionally being as late as 
the next week after it is printed. 
There is gross neglect somewhere 
that causes this trouble. Three 
mails a week go out from Green- 
ville to the offices in the lower part 
of the county, the days being Tues- 
days, Thursdays and Saturdays. 
The Reflector mail for these 
offices is put into the office at 
Greenville every Wednesday morn- 
and there is no reason why 
it should not be forwarded prompt- 
on Thursday and reach all the 
offices not later than Friday. If 
the postmasters would forward the 
mails promptly and then distribute 
them promptly when destination 
is reached there would be no 
about subscribers getting their 
papers. The only remedy we see 
for the trouble is for those who 
handle the mails to perform their 
duties. We hope that when the 
railroad gets through that section 
the mails will not have to lay over 
so long and have so many stops as 
they do at present.

The matter is under law left 
entirely to the discretion of the

Mr. may, if he sees fit, 
give the privilege to the bidder that 
offers smallest sum. As the 
privilege has been worth more than 
a million n year in net profits for 
the past twenty years it is not 
strange that there should be 
to obtain it, and trouble may be 
looked for from the disappointed

Tho Ages or Animals and Their Cains In 
Weight. 
The daily gain in weight of animals 
intended for beef varies accord to tho 
breed, the vigor and the manner of feed- 
; but is a period arrived at when 
the gain is very little. nearer tho 
animal approaches maturity the more it 
consumes and tho less 
weight gained, due to the demands of 
the animal for bodily support; tho 
smaller the body the less loss of food in 
that direction. The testing of the live 
and slaughtered animals at the stock 
shows that have been held for several 
years past explains that, while certain 
breeds of cattle are better adapted for 
producing greatest weight of beef to 
maturity, no particular breed enjoys a 
monopoly in that respect, even the grades 
and crosses of the several com- 
with advantage. 
In a comparison of at tho recent 
Fat Stock Show the calves under year 
old make remarkable daily gains. 
daily gain of the grades and crosses was 
2.78 pounds, the Shorthorns 2.04 pounds 
and the Here fords 2.48 lain lids, or an 
average of 2.63 pounds. As calf 
weighs something at birth, this added to 
its daily gain for days, brings tho 
young animal to a weight respect- 
able before it becomes even a yearling. 
The gain of tho was 
2.07 pounds; of tho year-olds, 1.77 
pounds, and of the 3-year-olds, 1.53 
pounds. There is, t lie re fore, a groat 
in the gain of an animal during 
its first year compared with its gain 
two years following. As this showing is 
the result of a comparison of more than 
animals, it becomes a plain fact that 
farmers consider. If can, 
by tho use of pure breeds and grades, 
combined with liberal feeding, secure 
gains approaching those of the young 
steers experimented with, the breeding 
of cattle can made 
While tho crosses made tho 
greater gain the first tho 
breeds gradually asserted their superior- 
and after tho second year 
larger daily gains than the grades. This 
is a very creditable showing in favor of 
the pure breeds, destroys the claim 
grades and crosses superior to 
the pure bred animals ; but it allows that 
the grade is nearly equal to pure 
bred until tho marketable ago is reached 
and encourages the claim that farmers 
may improve their stock at a small cost 
with advantage. The scrub could not 
compare with tho grades hi any respect 
favorably.

A decomposing sod makes tho best bed 
for growing potatoes I have ever tried ; 
but to succeed it must lie properly 
prepared. Tho grass should suffered 
to grow till about the first of June, or if 
a little later at the north it is still early 
enough for planting to insure a good 
crop. Now take a plow with a wide, 
flat share, quite at tho edge, with 
a sharp on the end, or, in the ab- 
of this fasten a to tho beam. 
such a plow sod can be turned flat 
over about one foot wide. This is 
necessary in order to cover tho 
grass completely and insure its gradual 
decomposition with tho turf through tho 
season, to furnish nutriment for tho 
growing crop. The turned sod ought to 
to three or four inches thick. If thin- 
than this it does not protect 
from a drought, and if thicker it does 
not thoroughly is 
Holes for planting may cut open 
with a boo blade, about three inches 
wide and as many deep, and six inches 
apart every third furrow joins its 
edge to a fourth, and tho seed be planted 
in these holes. This makes the rows 
three feet apart. Do not disturb sod 
in endeavoring to hill these rows, for a 
fiat cultivation is best, and so weeds 
will on tho surface that it will not 
be necessary to plow it, which if done, 
will injuriously disturb tho All 
that is necessary is, when the potato 
vines have grown up two to three inches, 
run a broad, sloping tooth harrow over 
the ground, and it will effectually de- 
all weeds and stir the surface 
to keep it mellow. 
Thus treated, a soil of moderate fer- 
will produce a good crop, but If it 
is so poor as to require fertilizing, do not 
spread stable manure or putrescent com- 
post on top of the sod and plow it in. as 
some recommend, for if the growing 
tubers touch they must it en- 
dangers their rotting, and in any event 
makes them less mealy, and injures their 
taste. If such manure is used it should 
tie spread on the ground after being well 
harrowed between the rows. It will 
then operate as a beneficial mulch 
hot weather, and as rain dissolves 
the salts, the liquid will be carried down 
through the turf to benefit the crop. Tho 
best thing to use is the potato fertilizer, 
applied on the bottom of the furrow as 
fast as the sod is turned up, and let this 
cover it. Some recommend spreading 
this fertilizer broadcast over ground 
after the potatoes planted, and 
rowing it well in. I have tried this 
method of application, and found 
benefit from it. If a moderate amount 
of rain falls during summer the turf 
will got well rotted by autumn, and the 
soil be in admirable tilth for a wheat 
crop, or in spring for any other crop the 
farmer may wish to B.
