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 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 Continued on Ninth

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.

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.

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.

ONE OF THE IX CAROLINA. 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. To the Voters Pitt We can boast of having one of the best clerks of any county in We say the best.

Moore, proprietor of the Ho- 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.

The News says that Tuesday night a man who gave name as E. N. King, of Burlington, boarded the train en route to his home, and the train being crowded he took sent on the platform Before the train had started he was sound asleep, in fact, dead asleep, and he was totally unaware of the fact when the train pulled out. As a result he rolled off the platform in short, order, but he didn't awake when he struck the ground, calmly sleeping on in the clump of bushes where he had been dropped until late Wednesday afternoon. When began to beat down upon him with his fiercest rays he show- ed evidences of life and began to bestir himself from his nap. How- ever, he found this more difficult than he first thought was the case, for Ins knees were badly hurt, and besides he carried bruises all over his body, head had received an ugly gash. He gained a Bitting posture and after a painful wait of several hours be attracted attention and was ken to a hospital where his wounds were dressed.- Landmark.

That face alone, if constantly ham- mered into the public mind by the advocates of good roads, is a argument for the of good roads. Bad roads are extravagant and and the farmers are the losers in this extravagance wastefulness. B. F. practical man first of all, a great in the railroad and business told the National Good Roads at Niagara Falls last Thurs- that he had estimated how much he farmers of the country would lave saved if the roads over which hey hauled their products had been roads instead of bad roads. What did he estimate their saving have been The snug little um of two hundred and twenty-five dollars. Commenting on this fact, the Press is not a blind guess. The government shows that the average to get farm products to market railroad shipping point is nine and difference in cost of haul- products over bad roads as com- pared with good is over cents a a mile. This does not include back haul of supplies over the same soft roads. The farmer needs hard roads of easy grade. Such roads would bring him rich re- turn in the saving of time and of much of bis money, now expended in repairs to harness and wagon and in the purchase and maintenance of more stock end equipment than would be necessary if good roads surrounded At the outset, when the of good roads is being to any given locality, their cost seems very high.

Friends of the Child- Rescue Campaign will be gratified to 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 work, it was considered necessary oven to discuss this 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.

The board of trustees has made a greater effort to furnish the best advantages to the high school than it has yet been able to make. I should like to see every pupil who was in the high school last year enrolled again this year. It is one of the greatest mis- takes that a young person can make to drop out of school at the end of the seventh or the eighth grade. Not more than ten per cent, of the pupils who enter the graded schools ate. This is very unfortunate, and a very great mistake.

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.

Humph He don't know when he is placed in good company. Two North Carolina attaches of the revenue service unearthed an illicit distillery in Washington City, almost in the shadow of the capitol. And a revenue officer was one of the part- in the moonshine distillery. The tobacco farmer can look a long time without finding a market even as good as Greenville, much less one that is better. With five warehouses here, and plenty of buyers who want tobacco, this market cannot be passed.

There is no use of any one continuing to talk hard times, but look on the bright side of things, and all work to help make times better. 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 ed. It is an exception and not the rule when an enterprise of any kind gets all the business it wants, and it is something extraordinary when a newspaper can make such a claim Yet that is the fortunate condition of the Times at Rich Square. That paper says it gets all the advertising patronage it can handle, does not solicit any more, and frequently has turn down much that is offered. We wish every paper in the State was as fortunate as the Times and was surrounded by as liberal advertisers as are in its fluid. Before the sixth district convention that got in such a muddle at Wrights- ville, there were several candidates for congress, two of them claiming to be nominated Since the special committee to whom the trouble was referred decided that no nomination had been legally made and the mat- referred back to a voting primary of the district, it seems to have rowed down to the two who were claiming the nomination by the con- and Godwin The contest between them in the primary will likely be a warm one. This week and next the candidates will the for votes in the primary to be held 10th. The primary will give every voter the privilege of going to the polls and expressing his choice tor any candidate for any office. But remember that this primary is not an election, as the ones nominated in the primary on September 10th must be voted for again at the election to be held in November. Be careful to avoid any bitterness in the primary, let everything be done so as to bring a solid line-up the Re- publicans the November elect-on Summer vacation is about over now, and people who have been away are turning their faces homeward to make ready for fall and winter The tobacco market has ready opened and is in full swing and In a tow weeks more cotton will be coming in. The summer months have been dull, hut everybody should quit talking hard rimes now and down to make the fall as good as possible. Those who have tobacco and cotton to sell can do much to make conditions better by paying up their accounts as soon as they can get the money. If all will work together to this end they will make times better. It takes all kind of politicians to make up a bunch, and some times th; hungry ones don't mind much what they do to keep from being prized away from the trough.

This made Roosevelt mad, and to him, President Taft scolds Sherman and denounces his in getting the chairmanship.

The Carolina Home and Farm and The Eastern Reflector. President Taft admits that there is room for decided improvement in the new tariff bill. And there is.

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.

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 which would the restrictions of the law around it. In Charlotte, the 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 exist Our Greenville, Yours if You Come. 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. Herald The wild Africans called Col.

The Modern Farm Home. by American Press ONE of the chief reasons why the girls and women of the farm have occasionally long- ed in the past, for the city is because of convenient homes Were found there. Many a farm Woman has had her life shortened by carrying water from the well or the spring, bending for hours at a time over steaming washtubs and doing other hard labor from which the en in town long ago were emancipated. Today the modern farm home is fully as well supplied with as the house in the city, and CON IN FARM WASH BOOM IN THE 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 button. By going to a little more expense electric light can be had on the farm. If a engine is already at hand the total cost of installing an electric plant, with lights in house and barn, need not be more than A few electric funs will make the house comfortable In hot weather. One convenience of the city. Ice. Is still lacking. The way the Ice problem Is most satisfactorily handled in the country Is for half a dozen neighbors to a co-operative The men club together and fill It in the winter, and a plentiful supply of ice is at band all through the summer. Wit a small additional expense a cold age room can be built In connection with the for keeping meat, poultry, eggs fruit In a number of communities co-operative fresh meat societies are successfully run. The members take turns killing a beef or a hog, and fresh meat Is supplied all through the year at much less cost than It could be obtained In the city. The cost of a heating system, a wash room, a vacuum cleaner, a hot water and other devices of that sort is the same the country as in the city. The cost of the water and sewage system In the country is about The cost of operating a water system In the country is much less than the cost of city water. An electric lighting system for tin- farm will cost from up. The life of such a system be figured safely at twenty years. The storage batteries will not last so long, but the rest of the apparatus will last longer. This would mean an annual depreciation of Interest at C per cent would amount to The cost of the plant will depend, of course, on the amount of electricity Used. Cost for lighting the average farm- house for a year and furnish- electricity for sundry other poses will not average more than for gasoline. This makes the total cost for electricity a year. In the city the average cost for electricity for an eight room house Is about o year. The cost of an and of put- up ice varies so much with that it is hard to give any gen- figures. These easily be ob any particular locality, how- BL SECTION OF A SEPTIC TANS. ever. It Is seldom that Ice Id this manner costs as much in the try as in town. The farm home can be fitted with hot water heat, hot cold water, bath and toilet room, electric lights, wash room in the cellar, etc., for The interest on Is a year. Ten per cent for depreciation and repairs is a year. The saving In coal will pay for the cost of run- the lighting water systems For a year the farm home can be provided with every modem that the city home possesses. By Using a furnace and an system the annual cost can be lowered to about The city inns pays that extra to a month and more increased and thinks nothing of it. The farmer Is beginning to realize that it Is possible for him to live bet- he Is rapidly taking advantage of the opportunity. Buggies Added. J.

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.

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.

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 i-i it a great disadvantage in 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 has not already been adopted in State in the singular at least, until we the fact that the large majority of our legislators are lawyers and a large majority of these lawyers fatten on the abuses of the present system. In the nature of things they cannot be expected to bring about a reform until a strong, unmistakable demand up from the people themselves.

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 Winston Journal.

A nation which can count a vest by billions, it might be sup- posed, would be prone to that it is already enough methods But we imagine that when the banks are all their loans to farmers to move their crops and pro- fit and loss accounts are closed, the per capita net earnings of our great agricultural population will not be wholly satisfied. When, too, aver- age yield per acre for each of our products over the entire country is compared with the yield in other countries, we are quite sure that con- proof will be supplied that we as a nation are prodigal and wasteful in the extreme To The United produces an average of of potatoes per and the farmer who grows bushels is justified in boasting of his skill in agriculture. Crowded England often raises bushels to the acre, more crowded in Belgium, with persons to the square mile, can of- ten show bushels to the acre. What is here said of potatoes is equally and strikingly true of all other land products. So that our Agricultural Department has sent a commission to Europe to find out how they do it. The principal upon which European farmers work is that of paying due regard to the cost of production. That is all that intensive farm methods the most possible out of an acre of land the least expenditure of money. It is 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- all the natural fertility of the land, and that he must come to intensive farming. That warning is uttered as though it were pending calamity or fearful It is not necessary to wait until the fertility of the land is . before adopting methods. All commerce morning.
