ON MIDDLE ATLANTIC SEABOARD
PITT CO. ONE OF RICHEST
Most Fertile in This Favored Section,
at Once n Combination of
Soil and Climatic Conditions, That
Make For the Very Best Develop-
of an Agricultural People.
by Mr. O. L. Joyner, for
Messrs. Collins and of
Norfolk, Va., representatives at a
North Western Immigration Bureau.
The soil and climate of Eastern
North Carolina are about as near
ideal as can be found in a temperate
zone. This is one of the oldest sec-
in the United States, and many
of the plantations of Eastern North
Carolina have woven around and
about them an historic association
that goes well back into the Colonial
period, yet there are many of these
old plantations that have, in the last
few years, been Improved by crop
and new management
are producing today larger crops of
the same products than is produced
per acre on much of the high priced
land of the northwest, and there is
no section of country in these United
States where a greater variety of pro-
duets of the soil can be made than
right here In Eastern North Carolina.
Many of the abandoned farms of this
section instead of becoming poorer
would, under skillful management, in-
crease in productiveness and value
but the old system of farming in this
section embraced the cultivation of
large areas on an extensive instead
of an intensive system, the result of
which was, In many instances, the de-
of the soil, and the loss
Of its productivity. Where these
farms have fallen Into hands of
men who have employed the
system, they have rapidly in-
creased in fertility, and all hough
land in this section can be purchased
at a much lower price than
character of land in the newer states,
every standpoint, it is
more valuable.
This section can produce almost
every crop that grown in the
Zone. Coin, col ion, tobacco,
-peanuts, fruits all kinds of
tables for home consumption and
for northern reach their
highest development here. The
money crops are tobacco, cot-
ton and peanuts. Some estimate of
the cost of producing- these crops,
with their comparative market value
may be of interest.
The actual cost of cultivating, fer-
harvesting and selling a crop
of tobacco depends largely upon con-
and the circumstances of the
farmer who makes it. To hire every-
thing done, at the present price of
labor the cost of cultivating, harvest-
and delivering an average crop of
tobacco on the market in an average
year will range from to
per acre. The average yield per acre
in an average year is from to
pounds. The average price at
which tobacco has fold the last
few on the Greenville market
has been from to cents. There
are exceptional cases, where some
farmers produce as much as 1500
pounds of to an acre, and
these farmers secure higher prices be-
cause of the superior quality of their
tobacco, and consequently, this class
of farmers have made a great deal of
money out of tho tobacco crop. The
purpose of tills article is to give to
those not with the
of our money crops a general
idea and therefor averages are men-
in general terms.
Cotton costs something less to
and market than tobacco, the
principal difference being in the cost
of the fertilizing material. The cot-
ton crop does not require anything
like the attention that tobacco does,
although it is a crop that would pay-
very well for the extra attention
given it. The yield of cot-
ton in this section, I judge, is from
to pounds of lint in an aver-
ago year. The cost of growing and
marketing a crop of cotton will run
from to per acre, where
the labor all has to be hired
Peanuts can be cultivated cheaper
than either of the other two crop,
requiring high grade commercial
fertilizer, and less cultivation,
though, like peanuts respond
profitably to good cultivation
The swamp lands of North
Carolina will yield anywhere from
five to fifteen barrels of corn to the
acre, which means from to
bushels. In some places in Beaufort
and Hyde counties, the yield of corn
is even than this. uplands
of this section produce an average of
from three to five barrels of corn to
the acre without fertilizer, but with
careful attention and the judicious
use of the right kind of fertilizer, the
corn yield in the uplands can be ma-
and profitably increased.
Owing to the close proximity of the
Gulf Stream to the Carolina coast
and the range of
on the west, which protect this
section blizzards and fierce
winds of the Northwest, the winter
climate of Eastern North Carolina is
about all that can be desired. There
are but a few days during the winter,
from December until March, when
most at any time farm work cannot
be carried on in comfort. We have
some hot. days in this section during
the summer, but generally speaking,
they are of short duration, and for
the full development of the crops are
necessary. However, the climate of
this section, as a whole, both summer
and winter, can hardly be improved
upon in any section of our country.
There is healthier in the
state than Eastern North Carolina.
The great
which all the people fear, who live
in other sections, is more a scare-
crow than anything else. Some of
the healthiest and
mens of humanity can found here,
while the general health of the sec-
compare favorably with even the
mountain section of the state Under
an act of the lust legislature the
drainage of the swamps of Eastern
North Carolina will reclaim millions
of acres of very rich land, and at the
same time, remove to a large extent
the cause of malaria.

A PROGRESSIVE SECTION
OF PITT COUNTY.
A VISIT THERE AFTER TWENTY-
YEARS BY FORMER TEACHER.
His Eyes Opened to Wonderful
Farming,
Roads and Better Schools.
In 1887, twenty-three years ago
this month, I took of a public
school, at what was then called Cali-
co Hill, which the people of that sec-
permitted me to teach, and gen-
paid me thirty dollars per
month. I boarded with the family of
the lute Mr. George Venters. The
people of that section were very good
and kind to me then, and since, in
my business career, some of the best
friends have ever had arc the
I came to know at that time. Al-
though actually engaged in the to-
business in Greenville since
soon after that time, I have not visited
i that section since. For some time
have promised to go down there,
and Monday evening I fulfilled that
promise. It seems to me but a short
time since I was there, but when I was
met at by the grown and
bright young man, son of Mr. H. C.
Venters, with whom as a boy I
when I boarded at his father's
I was forcibly reminded of the flight
of years.
I spent the night at the home of Mr.
H. C. Venters, and next morning to-
we rode around the country.
Although it has been more than
years, I have never seen more
evidence of thrift and progress
than there is in that section. Much
of the land thereabout that was then
an almost unbroken wilderness of
wood land has been cleared, and
crops are growing. The little
x school house in which I attempt-
ed to teach has been replaced by a
modern school building that would do
credit to any town. The post, office
at that time was Calico, and occupied
a small space in the back room of Mr.
store, the only place of
there. Our townsman,
of deeds, T. R. Moore, was in
charge of post office and
business of Mr. Venters. The Calico

The grand jury the August
term of Superior court, submitted the
following
That we visited the home of the
aged and infirm, and found every-
thing clean and apparently in good
order.
We further find that the
of the county home and the
I of health are at en-
towards each other; and that
superintendent of the home and
some or the inmates are also
That the superintendent of the
home has failed to visit the Camp-
bells for at least a month.
We recommend that the
of the home raise a sufficient
amount of vegetables to feed his
family and patients.
We further recommend most em-
that the superintendent of
health be removed at once. This
to us the meat advisable way
of settling this dispute or difficulty,
and we recommend that the county
commissioners attend to this matter
at once.
Your grand jury recommend that
the township board of supervises
ply to the county commissioners for
the excess of funds in the treasury
to apply to the worst places on their
roads, and to pay a man not to exceed
a day superintend this work.
Provided nothing in this
is to be construed into any re-
upon the present method of
disposing of said funds, or is intend-
ed to hamper the force.
The committee examined the
jail found it in as good condition as
circumstances will We ex-
the register of deeds office and
the clerk's and found them In excel-
lent condition with the exception of
sonic of the records Which were badly
damaged by water during the late
fire, and we would especially
mend that those records be rebound
and some of them be re-written; and
would further recommend that a
suitable place be provided for the
safe keeping of the records as soon as
possible, as they in great danger
of being destroyed where they are.

POINTS ON PIGEONS.
A Good Workman.
There is nothing like being a good
workman and knowing how to do a
thing. When the wreck of the burned
jail was being torn down to make
room for the new county buildings,
and everything had been removed but
iron cells, a problem was con-
fronted as to how to got them apart
so could be removed. Nobody
about the work seemed to know just
how to proceed with the job and the
task went begging for the time be-
Finally Chairman of
board of commissioners, called Mr.
R. Greene to look at the job, and the
latter said he could get the old
out of the way. That is just what
he did. and was not long about it,
either.
Good Homers Are a Profitable Invest-
if They Have Wise
If you want to make pocket-money
by selling squabs be sure to buy good
stock, pure homers in pairs, ready
mated. Pigeons are very faithful, re-
paired for years. If
dent separates them, it is often
possible to get either to accept
strange mates that season. Avoid
having odd birds; it causes lights and
destroys the nesting.
If you should have to pair birds
yourself, put them into a two-com-
cage. If you haven't one,
make a division with wire netting
through the middle of a case three
feet long, with a netting door to cover
the whole front. Put a bird in
compartment, and when they kiss and
coo through the netting they can be
put together for two or three days,
after which it will be safe to put them
in the breeding house. They will
soon commence to build their by
carrying a few bits of hay, or what-
ever the nesting material may be, in-
to one of the earthenware or wooden
MOStS.
The hen bird lays two eggs, with
me day between. Sixteen to eighteen
lays are required to hatch. the
old birds have the power to create
digested food almost a
sailed by fanciers
with which they feed the young for
our or five days. Then they are
gradually accustomed to eat grain
and grit.
About the fifteenth day the nest in
second compartment is built, and

at the end of thirty days, you relieve

through the year with good homers,

and the Com-
menial Interests of the Town all
Working in Harmony.
For the last several years the av-
price at which tobacco sold on
this market has been published,
monthly, and so far as we are in-
formed, no other market in Eastern
North Carolina has the price
paid on the market.
A reporter for the was out
on the breaks and followed the
sale at several warehouses. We do
not believe that a pile of tobacco was
overlooked. Competition is stronger
than we have seen it on this
market. There seems to be buyers
tor every grade that is ottered, from
the meanest trash to the highest
wrappers. The are ac-
wide awake and alert to the in-
of the sellers. The buyers are
, here, with large steam plants, and
want tobacco. The way buy
shows that they are anxious for it,
and we verily believe that the farmers
who sell on the Greenville market
this year will get more money for it
than elsewhere.
As written above, The Reflector has
no sling to make at any small mar-
We admire the courageous fight,
that has been made by the smaller
markets for trade, but after all, the
question is, can the smaller markets
compete with the larger markets for
the tobacco In all fair-
and justice to all the markets
and the farmers, we would advise all
tobacco sellers to visit the different
markets and ascertain for themselves
where, in their judgment, they can
get the most money for their product.
Greenville has every facility; it has
the very best a
strong corps of anxious buyers, and
believe, an Investigation,
they will find Greenville the best to-
market In the east. We have
talked with several of the buyers, and
they are all anxious to buy, and will
do their part in paying good prices
to get it. Farmers will make no mis-
take this year to keep their eyes on
the Greenville tobacco market.

Several years ago, Mr. Edgar B.

tel, bought the Oliver farm, to the
south of the city and since then in
a quit way, he has developing
one of the finest farms the country.
He specializes stock growing and
and in these he has been entire-
successful. His cattle barns are of
modern construction and his dairy
house is equipped with the best
known to the art. The farm located
on a wooden knoll and is the most
modest of all the buildings. The ten-
ants live comfortably, but the Jerseys
from the point of cow-life, live more
comfortably. Mr. Moore goes in to
some extent for cotton and what he
has is the best Grass is
his long-suit. His farm is green the
year round. He has fine crops of
clover, peas and corn and this
account for the sleek condition of
his cattle hogs. The dairy pro-
duets of Mr. Moore's farm are served
at the the milk, cream and
butter and eggs being specialties on
the menu cards, and it is this service
that helps to sustain the reputation of
the It is something new to
the Northern backed
by a dairy in their travels
they talk about it. Moore gets the
benefit of it. His efforts in the
of dairying and farming have
been successful as to prove an In-
to other farmers and
in that way are having good results.
Farming is not a fad with him. He
went into it for practical results and
has been securing then. As both far-
mer and hotel man Moore is all right.

Before the train had started he was
sound asleep, in fact, dead asleep,

Bad Roads are Extravagant and

Good roads are cheaper than bad

That face alone, if constantly ham-

of good roads.
Bad roads are extravagant and

roads instead of bad roads.
What did he estimate their saving
have been The snug little
um of two hundred and twenty-five
dollars.

Accident Without Injury.
Our esteemed contemporary, the
Siler City Grit, has been the medium
for announcing to the world some
very miraculous happenings recently
in that section. Its latest chronicle
of an almost occur-
was that of a colored well dig-
falling to the bottom of a 40-foot
well without injury save the
cation of a toe, caused it was stated
by a rather tight brogan being worn
on that foot.
Without attempting to vie with The
Grit in its weekly chronicle of
and almost unheard-of
events, an accident which happened
to a colored boy named Sam Burnett
here last Monday is worthy of more
than passing notice. This boy was
hauling brick from the depot here
when in crossing the railroad track
he lost his balance and fell off the
wagon. The wheels the Wagon
with passed over the
head, and several persons
who witnessed the accident were sure
he was seriously injured. But
not so, the boy got up, without as-
and taking his place on the
wagon drove on without any
discomfort none the worse
for the wheels having run over his

Friends of the Child-

know of the substantial progress that
has been made in the propaganda to
secure for the dependent child
opportunity to be loved
and cared for in the family home.
Since the campaign was started, there
been much discussion as to the
advantages of the family home com-
pared with the old-fashioned orphan
asylum. At the great conference of
charity workers recently held in St.
Louis, and attended by more than
twelve hundred men and women who
are devoting their lives to

Indeed, the unanimous con-
of those who attended the
White House Conference on the Care
of Dependent Children has effectual
settled the question in favor of the
family home.
Miss Jan Addams, the president of
the National Conference of Charities
and Corrections, in her opening ad-
dress at St. Louis, strongly urged for
consideration the wisdom of board-
dependent children with their
own mothers or near relatives rather
than paying for their support in an
institution or in some other person's
home. This plan was urged by many
other prominent speakers, and one en-
tire session, under the leadership of
Miss Alice L. Higgins. Secretary of
the Associated Charities, of Boston,
was given up to the discussion of the
practicability of pensioning depend-
mothers In order that they might
care for their own children. It was
shown that in many communities not-
ably in Massachusetts, this plan is
developing successfully.
Few persons realize that but a
very small proportion of the children
cared for by the institutions or other
child-helping organizations are or-
The great majority of them
have one or more parents living.
Quite a proportion of these children
have worthy mothers who have either
been made widows by disease or ac-
to the father, or, worse still,
have been deserted by worthless
bands. Too often in the name of
charity the community robs the moth-
of her only remaining source of

commendation and satisfaction can
be heard for the way the break was

great success from every viewpoint.
Mr. the president of the

made before the sale began, stated
that Washington had the best lighted
warehouse in North Carolina, and
that he had never seen people more
to have a tobacco mar-
than those in Washington. His
short talk had a most favorable

About o'clock the sale began

he has had several years experience.

a short time Mr. W. T. Burton,

called and he made the sales

Mr. J. B. James, Sec'y.,
Chamber of Commerce,
Greenville, N. C.
Dear Mr.
I have kept on my desk your re-
cent letter expressing appreciation
the for the
of a post office building in your
city, with a view of obtaining some
definite information as to when the
Treasury Department would be ready
to take up the matter of plans for
your building and to begin
I have secured this
which I regret will be
pointing to your people
When the Department is ready to
take the construction of a public
building the making of preliminary
plans is first in order, which is fol-
lowed by the preparation of complete
plans and specifications. Then an ad-
is made for bidders and
a contract is entered into with the
successful bidder.
The construction of buildings
by congress is taken up in
the order in which the titles are
proved. At the time of the adjourn-
of congress about July 1st,
Greenville was No. on the list
of buildings. The
architect informed me that as
well as he could approximate, he will
not be ready to enter upon the
of preliminary sketches for your
building until about March 1912.
further informed me that there were
buildings provided for under the
act of congress of 1908, for which
plans had not been made and
ed, and which must be completed be-
tore he could make provision for
buildings under the recent act
proved June, 1910. To illustrate, tho
public building in the town of Wash-
has been on the waiting list
since 1908, and the supervising
is only ready just now to begin
on the plans.
Perhaps it would be well to publish
this letter in The Reflector for the
general information of your citizens.
Yours very truly,
JOHN H. SMALL.

Though Pitt county has numerous
courts during the year, the fact was
brought out by Solicitor
Friday afternoon, that not enough of
them are for the trial of criminal
cases. It seems impossible to keep
up with the docket under the present
arrangement, and he expressed the
hope that the next representatives
from Pitt county in the legislature
would see that this trouble is

Before the sixth district convention

for congress, two of them claiming
to be nominated Since the special

is room for decided improvement in
the new tariff bill. And there
is.
As the Republicans are noted for
dirty tricks, Mr. Cannon will have no

Ledger,
The Legalized Primary for Parties.
Eight years ago the editor of the
News and Observer suggested in the
Democratic platform favoring a legal-
primary in North Carolina, which
was adopted. In the legislature
followed, Senator Cameron Morrison
introduced a bill providing for a
primary, and The News and
Observer stood with Mr. Morrison in
behalf of that reform measure, but
many of the leaders of both parties
opposed it, and doubted its
wisdom for the whole State. It was
defeated. Since their Mecklenburg
under the leadership of Heriot Clark-
son, passed a legalized primary act
with what result Its Democratic
majority has grown until it is the
banner Democratic county in North
Carolina. The legalized primary did
not give this majority, but it proves
that such method of ascertaining the
will of the voters tends to strengthen
rather than to weaken the party.
Durham, Guilford, Wake and half a
dozen other counties have adopted
the legalized primary and no bad re-
have followed. There are ob-
to the primary, undoubtedly,
out there are more objections to the
mass meeting and the county and
conventions. In the old times
when precincts were wont to send
their best men uninstructed to the
county convention, that was the best
system ever devised. But times have
changed and the voters generally in-
their delegates, and we have
very few of those old time
conventions. The nominating
of the old style must pass
as did the electoral college, and we
must come to the that
means a legalized primary for all
parties to be held on day
regulated by the State authorities.
At the last meeting of the State
Democratic Executive Committee,
Mr. A. J. Field introduced a
calling upon the General As-
to enact a State Legalized
Primary law. There was opposition
to it, and upon the motion of the
tor of this paper who stated that the
time had come when the Stale should
have a legalized primary,
was not acted upon, but it will
come up for consideration at the next
meeting of the committee. Since
then Beaufort, Wilson and other
ties have passed resolutions in favor
it a legalized primary, and the long
drawn out conventions have
sized the danger of counting a sys-
having the seeds of producing
such friction and trouble.

Near Beer.
The most troublesome thorn in the
side of the prohibitionists of North
Carolina is the hole in the fence
through which the near-beer dealers
have entered. Near-beer in itself is
a harmless drink, but the trouble is,
that it does not come under police
regulations. Anybody can set up a
joint in the country dis-
and where this in done the near-
beer dispensary is a center of de-
moralization. The near-beer saloon in
city or town where it is under the
restrictions of police regulations, is
as harmless to a community as a
lemonade shack and not so much of
an evil as some of the dope joints.
But the near-beer dispensaries out-
side of towns are a menace to society,
it is from the of these
try places that much of the well-
founded prejudice against the sale of
near-beer springs. The Chronicle
would prefer to see the sale of this
substitute article confined, where it is
permitted at all, to municipalities

sale of near-beer is so well regulated
and the spirit of the law so thoroughly
observed that a good many of the
people have forgotten that such

Shelters.
Very few farmers have enough
shelter room. They buy buggies, car-
mowers, rakes, binders and
many other such things without
any suitable place to keep them.
Much of the money spent for those
things are badly needed by farmers
is wasted because of rust to the me-
parts and rot to the wood parts.
All this loss is caused by not
house room enough. Barns and
shelters should be so built as to
furnish protection to whatever the
farmers may want to protect. The
northern and western states farm-
are far ahead of us in this
matter. Frequently their outhouses
are more costly than their dwellings.
They arc well built and kept paint-
ed all the time. They realize that it
pays them to protect everything they
have from their live stock to the
smallest tool on the farm. Expensive
implements should be kept in houses
while wagons, carts and many
other implements can be well kept
under shelters. They need not be
a great deal of expense in building
shelters. They can usually be erect-
ed by barns which brace them and
serve as part of the walling. A forty
or fifty dollar shelter will protect
five hundred dollars worth of
and them last several
times as long they would other-
wise. Unless farmers are going to
build houses and shelters their
implements they might as well quit
buying them. It is a poor policy to
put money in expensive machinery
to stand out in the weather to rot
and rust. In many cases farmers do
not realize what the losses are
it is too late. The binder or
some other implement fails to work
because the weather mastered
it. Too late to do anything when
rust and rot have ruined it.

Woman has had her life shortened by

Today the modern farm home is
fully as well supplied with

CON IN FARM WASH

It is done at less cost The reason
that more homes are not provided with
such conveniences is that the farmers
have grown used to doing without
them. They look forward to retiring
and town, where they can
have all the modern conveniences.
When they get there they will pay
for them in the form of house
Vent. To have them In the country
means a direct cash outlay, and too
often the farmer pleads that he cannot
afford it A little figuring would con-
him that he need not do without
a few of these conveniences that make
life so much more pleasant for the
whole family.
The first consideration in most parts
of tho country is the heating system.
Farmers are getting out of the habit
of using stoves, as they are finding
that the added convenience of a fur-
or hot water heater, together with
the coal or wood, will pay
for the Installation. With a heating
system of this kind all the and
dust incident to building and keeping
up the fire are In the cellar. Tho whole
house can be heated for about what
it costs to heat two or three rooms
with stoves. There is no need of crawl-
out of bed into a cold room in the
morning. A. pull on tho chain will
open the draft, and lb half an hour
or so the Is The kitchen
also can be heated from the cellar, and
an oil stove can be used for cooking.
An oil stove takes up less room, navies
Is More comfortable to
work, over in the summer time.
A furnace has the advantage of
cheapness. It also furnishes fresh air
to the rooms. If properly put In. For
an eight room house a furnace can be
put in for about A hot water
system for the same house would cost
a trifle more than twice as much. The
hot water system has the advantages
of being cleaner and keeping a more
uniform heat Cheap coal will work
well In the boiler, thus considerably re-
the expense for fuel.
The next consideration la the water
system. A water supply under
pressure is not only a convenience, but
also a form of insurance, since each
farm must furnish Its own fire pro-
Some farm buildings are
built now if concrete and hollow tile,
but even then there Is always some
danger of fire. An elevated tank is
one of the best means of supplying
pressure. Some of the modern types
of silos are being built with a tank on
top. A method that is as convenient,
though a little more expensive. Is a
pneumatic-tank in the cellar. The
Is pumped into this the air In-
side compressed. The air pressure will
lift the water to nil parts of the house.
For power to pump I water a wind-
mill may be used, or a hydraulic ram if
running water is obtainable. The most
reliable power is a gasoline engine.
Nearly every really up to date modern
farm has Its gasoline which can
easily be made to combine pumping
with its other duties. With a little
added expense the water system can
be made double, so that both hard and
soft water can be obtained. For the
bathroom and the kitchen sink hot
is needed also, which can be pro-
by a heater In the range or by a
separate oil heater.
a good water system Installed
the work of the housewife Is reduced
per Cold and hot water, either
hard or soft Is always at hand for
Use in the kitchen. The dishes can be
piled Into the sink and washed In
most half the time It took previously.
A wash room with permanent tubs
can be provided In the cellar. The
washing machine can be run with
gasoline engine or with a water mo-
tor. While u loom of this kind may
hot make washing exactly a pleasure,
it will reduce the labor more than
half. With a little planning a small
tank can be arranged the kitchen,
so that all the Water that is pumped
fur tho stock will pass through it. This
Is almost as good as an Icebox.
A good bath and toilet room, is a
great convenience to all the family. A
shower bath One comer of the barn
will be greatly appreciated by the
boys at the close of a hot day's work.
The wastes from the kitchen sink
and from the wash room can be run
Into a tile and taken away. For the
wastes from the toilet room a sewage
disposal plant will have to be pro-
The most convenient method is
tho septic This is an under-
ground Cement lined brick tank
Into two compartments. As one
compartment fills It overflows into the
next. Nearly all the solid substance
will be destroyed by bacteria, and the
water that flows out at the lower end
can be disposed of through a tile drain.
The entire cost of a water system such
as the one described, with the com-
pressed air tank, together with the
sewage disposal plant, need not be
much more than
Tho cheapest method of lighting the
farmhouse Is by acetylene gas. This
gas is generated by a machine in the
cellar and can be piped to all the
rooms to the barn. If desired It
can be used also for cooking. The
average cost of Installing an acetylene
plant Is about This includes
lights in the barn and In the yard. It
costs little to run an acetylene plant
after It Is once in. The average cost Is
about a cent for a sixteen candle pow-
light for four hours. Acetylene Is
the nearest like daylight of any kind
of artificial, light and is incomparably
better than the old fashioned oil lamp.
The newer types of acetylene lamp are
provided with a. that they
can be lighted by merely turning u

By going to a little more expense
electric light can be had on the farm.
If a engine is already at hand

Why I am Opposed to Good Roads.
N. C, Aug. 1910.
Editor
I am not opposed to any movement
for the betterment of the county, but
I am opposed to building roads for
automobiles to run on and scare the
farmers teams to run away. The ma-
of automobile drivers have no
respect for other people. I know
there are some exceptions, but the
most of them don't care about the
welfare of other people The good
road is indirectly responsible for those
three promising young men's death;
if it had not been for that hard road,
Mr Flanagan could not run his
machine at such a high rate of speed
and Mr. Fleming, Mr. Skinner and Mr.
Wooten would have been here living
today, I have no doubt. If the auto
men want good roads let them get
them a charter and build them one
like the railroad does, and keep off
the country roads.
I think it is for the farmers to say
whether they want good roads or not,
as they are the ones that have to
haul over them. I would like to ask
the good roads convention or two
questions. Why did they have their
convention on the first Monday in Au-
gust Why didn't they have it or
Saturday Instead of Monday They
are like the Consolidated Tobacco
Company, wanted it when they
knew the could not attend.
Well, so much for the autos and
HOW for the county. The county is
already in debt to the amount of
about and it will cost about
more to build the roads,
a total of about It looks
to me like our taxes will be high
enough without the roads now. It
don't look right for us to vote for
bonds payable In or
years for our children to pay
unless we are not willing to pay
ourselves, and with the steady in-
crease of taxes it looks to me like
our children will have enough to pay
without our voting for another
bond. The Bible says that
not for his household has
denied the faith Had is worse than an
and if we vote for bonds for
our children to pay, that are not
willing to pay, we come under the
same condemnation. For these
sons I am opposed to the good roads
movement and shall fight it to the
end. E. E.
To the Voters of Pitt County
I take this method of saying to the
voters of Pitt county, that if I am
elected to the office of Clerk of the
Superior court for two successive
terms, that I will retire without any
reservation or equivocation, at the
end of two terms. I do this, because
believe that rotation in office is just
and that the young manhood should
be stimulated to look forward to some-
thing for themselves their friends
and that it is for the best interest of
the party for which I have given my
best service to promote and
It is probably, not generally known
in Pitt county, that no man has been
elected, the civil to the
office of clerk of the Superior court
for more than three terms in
It. is now a matter with the
people, as to whether they will re-
verse this time custom, or
still preserve it and thereby be in
unison with, and follow the
of the immortal George
who, alter having served
his country in office for two terms,
voluntarily retired, loved and honor-
ed by all his countrymen.

They Should be Questioned on The
Land System
We are glad to see the South Caro-
Union has joined the
North Carolina Union in ad-
of the Torrens System of reg-
laud titles Southern farm-
by the thousands are getting
aroused to the importance
of this useful reform, and every can-
for the next General
in each State should be pledged to the
of the principle. And for the
benefit of our readers who do not
fully it, a brief
of the whole matter may not be
of order.
As it is now every time a piece of
property is transferred some lawyer
examine the legality of the
Old
sometimes for hundreds of years
must be searched at great labor and
expense; and the next time the prop-
is sold, the next, and the
next, the same work must be done
and other big
fees paid.
Now, the Torrens System proposes
that instead of this
of the same thing, this per-
marching backward and for-
ward over the same ground with no
purpose that of supporting the
lawyers, who might better serve their
in some other
of all this, we nay, the Torrens
proposes that that state exam-
the title once for all. guarantee
it and register henceforth it
may be transferred as easily as a
share of stock in a corporation or a
bond issued by Stat-e or municipality.
The original cost of getting a Tor-
deed will be little, if any. more
than the present cost of once
gating the title, and with the Torrens
deed once secured, land titles may be
transferred at from one-fourth to one-
tenth the present, expense and with
and
certainty.
At present, moreover, a deed is only
a registered certificate of claim; the
State does not guarantee your right
to the property described, and even
after the lawyers have pronoun-
the title sound, you not be
absolutely sure. A deed under Tor-
System, on Hie other hand, is an
absolute guarantee from the State of
your right to the property mentioned.
A lawyer said to us the other day
that he knew pieces of property
rimes transferred on which at
least one-fourth the total value had
been spent Investigating the title
and the next time the property is sold,
he ground will probably be
gone over again. Under the Torrens
System, at a fraction of this cost, the
owner would have a guaranteed title
requiring no further investigation and
his property as easily negotiable as a
United States registered bond.
Easily negotiable, we
right here is one single
the Torrens System that ought to in-
sure its adoption, even if it. had no
attractions. As things arc now,
should be the finest of
all reason of the
certainty of titles and the cost of
making Inquiries is in no finch favor
with the banker and money-lender as
ts value justifies; the farmer, in other

borrowing money as compared with
bus-mess man. But with the
Toners System not even a registered
bond would be as
to Ire bank as land would be
because the Torrens deed would be
as much guaranteed by the
as the bond while Nature,
having made land far more
than governments,
better guarantee the safety o; the
deed. This not only make it
easier for the borrow
money, but it would also certainly
increase the market value of all farm
property.
In the face of these advantages
is singular that the Torrens System

EDITOR AWARDED DAMAGES.
Jury flaws Him For An Assault
Committed on by J. W. Hasty.
Quite a sensational trial took place
in court Saturday. It was a
civil suit in Which Editor R. A. Deal,
the Chronicle, a Democratic paper,
was and G. W. Samuels and
J. Hasty defendants. It grew
out an assault made on Editor
Deal about live years ago, by Samuels
and Hasty, revenue officers.
Editor Deal had charged Spencer
Blackburn with having organized
the distillers and revenue men into
a combination by which distillers
were to pay per month Black-
campaign fund. As Deal ex-
pressed it, were to put in-
to the missionary No names
were used by Editor Deal, but George
W. Samuels with J. W. Hasty at-
tacked Deal, Samuels knocking him
to the ground and jumping on him
and Hasty, will; his Colt's revolver
shouting to the crowd who ran to
rescue to stand back.
Roth of the men were sentenced to
imprisonment and served a term in
jail.
In the meantime Deal, who is a
small, man brought civil suit
his injuries. The defendants
were never ready for trial. Samuels
died last year and Hasty, his co de-
thought he would stave off
the matter until Editor Deal, who is
fast going into consumption, had
passed away. At this term of the
court Judge Pell was appealed to by
Mr. attorneys to bring the
to trial, as he would hardly
Jive till another court. Hasty, who
lives in Union county, sent a doc-
tor's certificate that his wife was ill
begged to put it off. Judge Poll
wired to Monroe and learned that
was not very ill, so forced Hasty
to come to trial. The consisted
of nine Republicans and three Dam-
and contrary expectations,
they awarded Deal damages.
The defendant appealed to the
court. It is thought the idea
is to keep the case going until
days are over. Special to

But we imagine that when the
banks are all their loans to

agricultural population will not be
wholly satisfied. When, too, aver-

necessary to emphasize the word
for there is a system of
farming which obtains in all
tries that consists in getting the
most possible out of acre with the
least possible expenditure of labor,
time, investment, or care. If that is
farming at all, it is not intensive
farming, but the most expensive kind
of farming.
Now and then we are told that the
American farmer will soon have ex-

was a triumph for arbitration. It
holds that the British have absolute
rights to form regulations

in the diplomatic world as
satisfactory. The decision is
on all questions but one, this
being the question of defining bays,
which the commission refused to do.
By the award the dispute that has
lasted almost a hundred years,
has twice nearly brought England and
the United States to war, is definitely
settled. An Industry of a million
a year Is beyond dispute and com-

wrangled over since 1818, are solved.
