He works for schools, churches good streets and urges, pleads, scolds and badgers and cavorts around generally. Imagine his feelings then when some kind of a fellow reproaches him because he don't boom things enough. If the town does boom and the prices of real estate advance and the owners grow rich from the result of his labor, he makes nothing by it.

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.

Formerly I he days of the week were numbered one. two, three, four, and six. beginning with Sabbath Even now the custom still prevails among certain modem Uriel's, the Slavs and the Finns. Many old orthodox Quakers, in the north of England, still hold to this Custom, which was the common one In the days of the apostles and down to the fourth century well at usual among the Jews and the Arabs. The orthodox Quakers use the System In preference to the nary on the ground that the gods and goddesses, from w horn the names were taken, not of the highest In point of morals. The week was originally only a con- quarter of the month; hence It began on Monday, or moon day. The Italians still call Monday the mid Sunday the seventh day of the week. Tuesday Is derived from the Norse who corresponded to Mars, the god of war. a most person in the eyes of Quakers. Thursday was Thor's day.

MAY 1909 One Dollar Per Year GREENVILLE DEFEATS THE HOME BOYS WIN THE All Acquitted Themselves Creditably 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 That the next legislature of North Carolina should pass a law to into effect Oct. 1st. 1912, com- every in North Carolina between the ages of and years to attend school months in each 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- before confidence in the ability of the home tide was well established. and North are not he began. arc s people who can be coaxed and led, but they are never driven.

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 Monument Fund The Confederate monument fund is growing, but not so fist it did last week.

CULTIVATION OF Some Good Advice From the Department. I The j Demonstration work, under the of the U. S. Department Agriculture, is giving our some advice in re- the early cultivation of The information obtained its and though its men in regard to corn grow- is about a. Corn j- one of the crops that requires of moisture. Every Stalk of average will three hundred p muds of water to make a good yield. 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 acts like a blanket would on a wet horse. It keeps the there preventing the winds from carrying it off. is always found under a I plank or other covering on the ground. The loose soil on top in 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. STATE NEWS. Happening of in Caro Una Littleton, May days quite a was created here by the report that Mrs. Daniel, the wife of K. K. Daniel, a well known young man of this had endeavored to kill her husband, it is alleged firing five shots at him. Friends, upon learning of the trouble, which is said to have been by his ill-1 treatment of her, and j Rev. Francis Joyner, rector St. Ann's Episcopal church, swore out a warrant against Daniel, charging him with whipping her.; The case came up some days but there was no trial since Mrs. Daniel mysteriously Shelby. May of this county, met his today under remark- 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 tempted to do, but just s t. e machine began to move Walker d a gun he was carrying in his hand and aimed it at the party. Just as he did so he fell in his tracks and with- out a struggle died. Dr. Brayer got out and him and found that he died of heart trouble. Asheville, N. C. May Another tragedy occurred in north Buncombe early this morning when Grant and John residents of the Big Ivy section, neighbors and kinsmen, over some lumber and engaged in a fight resulting in the death of John New Bern. N. C, May Two fires were discovered on the county bridge across the Neuse river yesterday. The largest was found about noon and a bucket brigade was soon formed and the fire extinguished. About a month ago a fire was found on the bridge, which is a mile long, and about two weeks ago a sec- fire was discovered. Taken with what was found yesterday it looks as if somebody is trying to burn the bridge but so far no motive or suspect has been found. MINIATURE ELECTRIC ENGINE Built Old Parts a Machine.
