at least two-thirds. More than
this the most ardent advocate
prohibition could not have ex-
and the half of this
would make the prohibition pol-
icy the wisest and most profit-
able step ever adopted by the
people of North Carolina.
Prohibition is a success there
Is no question as to this; and yet
ire must not let our gratification
its achievements or over the,
public opinion of the State seep
its from recognizing the dangers
pf indifference on the part
temperance advocates. We
not too strongly emphasize the
fact that the next eighteen
months will mark the one critical
period with prohibition in this
State. During this time the
most active, money
supplied by the great liquor in
of the and using
both fair and foul to
snake US prohibition unpopular

It is of. the greatest import-
therefore, that our local
Anti-Saloon Leagues keep them-
selves intact and -that new.
leagues be wherever
there is danger to our cause, and
that our league have adequate
financial support. Good citizens
everywhere must hold up the
hands of officials who are vigor-
in behalf of law enforcement,
and must bring individual and
organized pressure to bear upon
officials who deal lightly with
the oaths they have taken.
It was not long to have been
expected that perfect machinery
for the enforcement of our pro-
laws would be
developed; it was not to
be expected that the enemies
of prohibition would immediate-
the hopelessness
of their cause attacking the law.
The fact that North Carolina
largely rural, and that rural
sections have been dry tor years,
and that our cities are not
only composed largely of native-
born, law-loving North Carolina
people, but had also adopted
local laws in nearly
very things have
made the enforcement of pro-
in North Carolina much
easier in some other States.
We should not be true to our
trust, however, if we did not re-
mind our churches,
the advocates of temperance,
and good citizens of all classes
of the imperative importance of
strict law enforcement and of
undiminished activity in preach-
temperance doctrine.
We would especially call at-
to the necessity tor
caution in dealing with the near-
beer sellers. If license is to be
granted st all, there should be
most careful scrutiny of
cants, and most careful inquiry
into their conduct It should be
remembered that the board cf
aldermen in granting such
. . . tali
is a truism so plain as to
require no elaboration whatever.
The old miracle of Romulus
and suckled by the wolf would
have be repeated in order to
bring about a outcome
of such a proposition. No ex-
press statute is n but
of public policy
should prevent any city from
exposing an ex-saloon keeper
to tho temptations which a near-
beer shop provides for him to
certainly consider-
the law of
the expressed will
of the people should prevent our
trusting our prohibition law to
such people tor safe keeping-
No license to sell near-beer
should be to any man
unless he has recommendations
as to his character from the best
citizens of town, and after
thirty public notice;
certainly no license should ever
be granted to any man who has,
government license to sell
license to sell near-beer
should especially provide that no
intoxicants should be drunk
con-
Vie -for selling any intoxicant
or allowing any intoxicant to be
drunk upon, the premises should

should be made by city officials.
We make

willing to permit near-beer es-
The experience
this, of the fact that
has not kept pace with
other pursuits. There has been
much advancement in farming,
and if our forefathers of a
or even a half century, ago
were here they would find great
changes for the better. But the
advancement in agriculture is not
what it should have been, and
it is to gain better knowledge of
our lands, the better handling of
crops, things that make farming
more profitable, that creates the
necessity for the
meetings. Instead of the
boys leaving our farms and going
to the towns to seek employ-
they should be educated to
the value and advantage of
farming.
The question has been asked,
what has a member of congress
to do with educational
meetings If it is a congress-
man's duty to look after the pro-
motion of rivers and harbors in
his district, to look after proper
mail routes and facilities, why
should he not be interested in
looking after farming interests
when per cent of the people of
his district are engaged in this
pursuit It is the duty of a pub-
servant to be interested in the
welfare of all his people.
C. Thompson, of the
Bureau of Animal Indus-
try, spoke on cattle and dairy
industries. He emphasized the
value of cattle for dairying,
which aside from the profit of
dairy products helps the farmers
in improving his soils and brings
other that it advantage to him in many ways,
is desperately difficult to control cattle is a highly
it, and if the element
thinks to use the near-beer Drop
as a cover for flagrant
violation of our general
law, our people will be left
but one of
near-beer establishments
entirely.
We again warn our people to
be on their guard unceasingly
during the next eighteen months.
If this is done we shall clinch
prohibition law beyond all
questioning in this State,
developing the machinery and
the public which will
keep it forever intact. Old.
officers in the counties and cities
should bold their organization
intact, and every man who voted
in the campaign a year ago
should count himself as not pa-
rolled until the last active
to the State law subsides.

and no one going into this
try, should be satisfied with the
average animals- The best
should be had, even if they cost
more money, then there should
be constant effort to improve the
in the South, and aid this
small average yield was due to
a want of proper knowledge of
soil fertility. All industries of
the farm centers around the
plant. The corn farmer has his
mind on the ear of corn, and the
cotton farmer thinks of the
boll, the tobacco farmer thinks
of the leaf, and little at-
is given to that part of
the leaf, and little attention is
given to that part of the plant
on which life depends. The
plant above depends
upon its hence the roots
should have the first and best
attention of the farmer. This
comes through proper fertility of
the soil to provide the means
necessary to the growth of the
plant. Disease and insects in
the soil, fertilizers and their
proper use, rotation of crops,
were all mentioned in this con-
Keeping a supply of
humus in the soil was given as
the most advantageous means of
fertility. In the absence of
sufficient barnyard manure de-
rived from stock raising, a good
means of supplying humus is to
plant peas, clover, vetch, etc. to
be turned in. Several charts
were used in showing values.
Dr. Cooper Curtice, of the
Bureau of Animal Industry,
spoke on the subject of stock
and bx w to find a market.
He advocated the of
stock. Those sections the
moat prosperous where each
farmer raises stock both for his
own use and for market Ha
must feed them and he must
constantly breed for better
varieties. Well fed and well
bred stock are the most
and profitable. This kind
cannot be had with free range
They must be kept within en-
closure in the pasture, and in the
barn yard, and must be protected
in winter.
He exhibited a stock law map
of North Carolina showing that
three-fifths of the State had
adopted stock law. He explained
that the farmer who raised stock
made two profits, one from pro-
crops and the other from
feeding the roughage and forage
and surplus grain to the stock.
This is the sovereign remedy
his crop is and he will tell you it
is
A man falls overboard, no
bones are broken, his body is all
there, but by his lungs getting
filled with water the body ceases
to perform its functions and is
dead. The man is drowned. So
the man who says his crop is
drowned out when it has taken
on too much water is telling the
truth.
Tell a man that a flood is com-
and his low land pasture
will overflow, and he hastens
to lead his cows out to high land.
He is anxious to rescue

corn get

much as the cows If the loss
in Eastern North Carolina in
three years by r drain-
age had been prevented, you
could not picture the improve-
the extra money would
make.
One crop drowned out means
taking the profit off of two or
three succeeding crops. The
land must be drained. We can-
not control the but we
can provide to take care of it
when it comes. The solution
for Eastern North Carolina farm-
is to the lands. This
section is easily drained. There

On Saturday the Greenville
Storage House. W. H Jr.
proprietor, began business here,
and the first day started off with
large storage receipts.
Some time last spring Messrs.
C- W. Harvey and J. W. Ferrell
began the erection of the storage
house for this business on the
I lot between the Liberty ware-
house and the Norfolk Ac South-
railroad, fronting on Pitt
street. While the building was
in course of erection the enter-
prise was over by Mr.
who carried it on to
and the building was
finished ready for use last week.
i It is a single story brick building
in two sections, each x
I feet, and has capacity for
about hogsheads of
tobacco.
There has been much demand
here for a building of this kind
for storing tobacco, and Mr.
has supplied this need.
The usual house charges
are made, and the tobacco, after
being packed in is
kept in store until the owners
are ready ti ship it. The in-
rates in this building is
only c par so it
costs but little to keep the
co on hand, and the storage
receipts can be used as collateral
by the owner. No doubt Mr.
will find his storage house a
profitable enterprise as well

do not die because they have

Mr. Wright then gave several
illustrations of good drainage l
and pointed out how under the
State drainage laws sections can
come together and have their
lands drained.
C. R. Hudson, of Cd-operative
Demonstration Work, made an
interesting talk on this
work. He the value j
of soil and bi up
fertility with clove- ops. He
said crimson cover is a success
in Pitt county and urged the
inoculation of lands for this.
He also showed the importance
of good seed selection for crops
and home grown seeds are
better than any that can be or-
because they are
ed.
O. L. Joyner stated at the con-
of Mr. Hudson's address j
that he had grown crimson I
clover very successfully and had
a quantity of the inoculated soil
which he would gladly give to
any one wanting to u e it. The
meeting thanked Mr. Joyner for,
this offer.
Congressman Small had some
important bulletins distributed
and closed the meeting
some comparisons the price
of tobacco and other crops,
Resting the advisability of
those things that bring good

Congressman Small
to arrange for a similar meeting

We must change our methods.
The manufacturers tell us they

prices for such of this tobacco as

A change from present

It is easy enough done. When

should be primed high and the

growth and vigor of the plant,
let it stand on the hill until

result will be an utterly different
class of tobacco from that we
are now making and a class the

a little bit less than they want.

summoned and found Captain
Smith with acute
diabetes. Every means known
to medical science that possibly
could be used was employed but

Peary weakens his ow

readiness to declare that Cook is

did not succeed the late E.

interests. The directors held a

K. T. Lovett. who had for years
been the magnate's personal

other acts of the directors looks

the next census. This in

more enumerators for the work,
which must be done and reports

also cause a larger number of

part of this army of census
takers is estimated to be fifteen
hundred, while there were
twelve hundred and thirty eight

ROMANTIC MARRIAGE.
CENTER BRICK
ATTRACTIVE FOLDER ISSUED.
Meet is Wed
Here.
At o'clock Monday after-
noon, in Hotel Macon, there
took place a marriage that wad
the outcome of an interesting
romance. The parties were Mr.
J. W. Pearce, who lives near
Siler City in Chatham county,
and Mrs. Maggie Waters, of
Beaufort county, the
ceremony being performed by
Rev. J. H. Shore, of the
Methodist church.
Last March Mrs. Waters
ed an advertisement in the
Raleigh News and Observer for
a position as a governess,, and
Mr. Pearce wrote to her. From
this a correspondence arose be-
tween which was later
followed by an exchange of
photographs a courtship by-
mail. Recently there an
agreement that they met some-
where and talk over the matter
of marriage. Greenville was
selected for this meeting place,
and both Mr. Pearce and Mrs.
Waters arrived here Saturday
rooming, their intention being
to meet each other at the Rives
house. Mrs. Waters,
by her little girt arrived
and failing to net a room
at the house left a note
therefor Mr. Pearce and went
to Ho el Macon. When Mr.
Pearce arrived he told the driver
of the bus to take him to the
Rives house, but instead of
as directed the driver took him
to Hotel Macon, and not knowing
the difference he went in and
registered.
At the hotel Mr. Pearce soon
learned that Mrs. Waters was
stopping at the same hotel and
their first meeting took place in a
short time. There was nothing
of disappointment to either in
this meeting, and they decided
to get married here at the time
stated. It became known a
little in advance that a marriage
was to take place at Hotel
Macon, and several people went
there to witness it.
Mr. and Mrs. Pearce left on
the Norfolk Southern
train for Raleigh and then on to
the home in Chatham
county. This is the second mar-
for both of them, Mr.
Pearce having six children and
Mrs. Waters one. The bride be-
fore her first marriage was Miss
Maggie of Ayden, this
county. She married Mr. Waters
there and moved to
where he died three years ago.
She is yet young and an
woman.

near Rockingham, this week.
The old man claims he is
years old. His name is
and he is a fine specimen of
African manhood. He is about
six feet high and weighs
pounds. He says that he
remembers being in Raleigh in
his youth when there was
nothing there but one blacksmith
shop and one saloon. The old
man claims to have served God
for over years and been
a preacher for years. In
addition to preaching he repairs
chairs. That he is in good
physical condition is shown by
the fact that he walked miles
to town, two chairs,
and then went back home.

The Board of Alderman held a

in that respect will be enforced.
