E. hon, has a gourd vine that had to run about eight feet to reach a pear tree and then it ran up to the top of the tree, which is about twenty feet high and run back down the tree about fifteen feet.

They were having a good tome in the water splashing and when suddenly a large trout, scared out of his wits, rose to the face of the water and Jumped into a small that was In the lake in which they were bathing. No boo had the fish landed in the boat than the family bull dog, which was sitting on the bank looking on, made for it. The fish, the instant the dog jumped in the boat made for the water.

The True Home. This is true nature of home it is the place of peace; the shelter, not only from all injury, but from all terror, doubt, and division. In far as it is not this, it is not home; so far as the anxieties of the life penetrate into It, and the minded, unknown, unloved, or hostile society of the outer world Is allowed by either husband or wife to cross the threshold, it ceases to be home; it is then only a part of that outer world which have roofed over, and lighted fire in. But so far as it is a sacred place, a vestal a temple of the hearth watched over by gods, before whose may come, but those they can receive with far as it is this, and roof and fire are types only a nobler shade and as of the rock in a weary land, and light as of the in the far it vindicates the name and the praise, of home. And wherever a true wife this home is always round The stars only may be head; the glow-worm in the night-COld grass may be the only fire at her feet; but home is yet wherever she is; and for a noble woman it stretches far her, better than with cedar, or painted with vermilion, shedding its quiet light far for those who else were OPENING MON- C T.

These two poisons must not be related to you. These two should certify to the correctness of your report. The acre should measure 1900 square yards. The measurement should begin at least inches from a row and not just the line of stalks Use a tape line or a meas- stick and do not guess at tee acre by stepping it off. Measure the shucked ears of corn In a box or barrel, holding not less than three bushels. Use care in getting in as nearly as the same amount of corn In each measure. Record the total number of boxes or barrels on the entire acre. Shell the ears from one box or barrel and weigh the corn. Multiply the weight of this shelled corn by the total number of boxes and divide this total weight by which should give the bushel per acre.

Where hairy vetch will succeed, the addition of a pock of vetch seed to a bushel of rye is an improvement. Where there is no boll weevil rye or rye and vetch may be planted between the rows of cotton In October, and not laser than the first of November. It is better to use a narrow drill in planting, but where farmers do not have this the seed may be sown by hand and cultivated or harrowed hi.

A news item in this paper Friday, calling attention to the fact that it was the of the Greenville tobacco market, the first sale taking place hero on the 23rd of 1891, makes The Reflector feel some what reminiscent It was a long time ago, yet seemingly not so long when looked back upon, and the changes in the intervening years have been many and varied. The history of the tobacco market itself has been told before in these columns, and the readers of the paper have been kept informed of the progress of this, Green greatest industry, and the de- it brought to Greenville and the surrounding country. The first few years of the market a tobacco department was conducted regularly in The Reflector by Mr. O. L. Joyner, and to the of the market was largely due. The paper recognized the tobacco market as I he leading business of the town, and our mite was contributed to its. growth and development. Through all these years we have en freely and liberally our time and to aid this important Industry, and while we are not complaining in the least, the warehouse business, with one exception, has not placed under any obligation to it. From the day of the first sale Mr. O. L. Joyner been connected with market, and during the first few When there was doubt to the future of the tobacco industry in this section, he was It strongest backer the mainstay of market, Al- though the business at that time was email, be a liberal advertise and always paid what he got. Many others reap I reward from his work, ho did not quit because of that. On the contrary he Increased his after year, ending his means liberally and working arduous- for the of the market. We are going to repeat what it has given us pleasure to say that Mr. O. L. Joyner is the real founder of the tobacco market here, and Green ville and Pitt county owe a large measure of gratitude to him. He is doing more today for the tobacco farmers of Eastern North Carolina than any man engaged in the Our friendship for him, and his liberal advertising, does not prompt this expression, but we say it because it is the truth, as will be recognized by everyone who has fol- lowed his work since the beginning of the market In this connection perhaps it is not out of place to mention a matter that a gentleman called to our attention a few days ago. Discussing the mat- of tobacco warehouses and ware- house advertising with another gen- the latter remarked that the columns of The Reflector were closed to all warehouses except those operated by the Farmers Tobacco Company, and that none of the others could advertise in it. The gentleman informing us of this said he did not believe a word of such statement, but felt that he would speak to us about it. Of course there is no truth in such a statement, as any one who has the least knowledge of postal laws knows that a newspaper, in order to be admitted to the of second class mail, has to open its columns to all legitimate on the same basis. And any other warehouseman knows that he can get space in this paper at the very same rate that the Farmers Consolidated Tobacco Company pays for the ad- it gets. It is a fact that the Farmers Tobacco Company's warehouses arc the only ones that for some time have advertised in The Reflector, but the reason could be not get space if warehouses could not get space if they wanted it. As has been stated before, we had faith in Mr. O. L. Joy- and always appreciated his ear- nest efforts to build up tho market, and when he organized the Farmers Consolidated Tobacco Company we believed there WM merit in his enter- prise, thought that it was the best step ever taken for the tobacco farm- and did not hesitate to say as much. Its growth and achievements have proven beyond argument that this opinion of and the were well founded. If the real cause of the other ware- houses not advertising In The tor is wanted it can be given in a few words. It well known that when the Farmers Consolidated Tobacco Company was organized, the other warehouses combined In a bitter fight But the paper has managed to get along, and has gone right on year after year working for the home tobacco market in season and out of season. It can be truthfully raid again, that if it was not for the Farmers dated Tobacco Company the farmers of Eastern Carolina would get little or no information about crop and market conditions of tobacco. There is not a week that passes but this company sends out circulars and ad- not only to its own stockholders, but also to other co planters, keeping them advised as to conditions and prices. Of course it costs much money to do it, but it is done in the interest of the tobacco grower and for his benefit. Were it not for this the growers would be informed, and they would be an easy prey to the and country buyers who would gobble up their tobacco at much less than it would bring on the warehouse floors. Only a few days ago we spoke to another warehouseman about this, and asked why he did not do some advertising or send out something to help inform the farmers.

And under this license there are In Greenville today perhaps more saloons than there were formerly barrooms. There is not a bigger farce than near-beer, and the places open for the sale are selling the article And there is plenty of rumor that other are sold at these places.

The chief of police Spring Hope was mortally wounded by a whom he was attempting to arrest, and the criminal has been caught and is at present in Raleigh for safe keeping. The citizens of Nash county are re- ported to be anxious, for obvious sons, the the prisoner be given speedy trial and have petitioned Gov- Kitchin to order a special term of court for that purpose. The Gov- finds, however, that there is at resent not a single occupant of the superior bench available for this duty and consequently the case must wait the regular November term of Nash superior court. In South Carolina and as we in Tennessee, the judicial machinery provides for just such a contingency. Governor Kitchin is limited by law in his selection of a judge to hold a special term of court to one of the sixteen superior court judges, and at the present juncture it is impossible to send one of these to Nash county. Under similar cir- Governor Ansel or Gov- Patterson would promptly de- some member of the bar whom he knew to be in the to act as special judge for that term of court. The record of the Tennessee Ex- with regard to the judiciary of that State tends to emphasize which have been made to particular method of extending court work. Not a few lawyers and lay- men fear that this discretionary power would lend itself too to abuse in the hands of a governor to strong prejudice. An easier and certainly quite as ex- a solution lies in increasing the number of superior court judges in this state. It is widely believed that the sixteen members of this court are the most over-worked of our public officials, and time would not hang heavily upon their hands should room be made for half dozen additional judges.

Thirty nine of the railroads representing the entire South, east of the Mississippi, have exhibits the resources aims their several lines, and any who ever doubted the great wealth of the South in resources has but to come to the exposition to be convinced. Convinced of what That there is not a country or district known to man that can show so many, such varied and so profitable and pro- possibilities as can be found in the South. And yet these years has the great rush if and the great travel direction of home- seekers been to the West and North- west. A greater mistake has never . been made, and yet these same travel- did not know or had not seen the convincing proofs of these same Southern possibilities. For this very purpose has this vast exhibit been assembled at What is it though, among those ex- at that is appeal- the most to the people who are looking about for a change in The South as a whole offers far greater inducements in the way of low priced lands than any of the of the west or northwest, and that of course is of vital importance to the investor. It enables him to get more acres for his money, and it is this matter of more acres that gets close to a man when he is wanting to buy a farm. But, the matter of more acres is not all. Quality of these acres is the prime question and in fact the all important one. Next to quantity and quality the matter of climate and healthfulness becomes of interest, and after that the matter of markets and cost of transportation for farm products are inquired after. then have low priced acres, quality of soil, climate, good health, markets and transportation. Bring- all these conditions down to home affairs and applying them to the lands and country existing along the Norfolk Southern railroad, and what do we find There is one in the list that cannot be fulfilled, and then some. These are the very facts that make the exhibit of the Norfolk South at the exposition most talked about features there. The exhibit of the rich black soils, as is shown in large glass jars, together with the mammoth corn, oats and that are as u likes to look it over, feel of it, stir it over and see if it stands up to his ideals. This is just the chance that is given with the large jars of soil exhibit of the Norfolk Southern at the exposition. There is not a moment during the day when there is not a large gathering of farmers around this exhibit, sampling and comment- on the quality of a soil of such color, quality and texture. The rep- of the railroad who is in attendance is asked a thousand times a day if this sample is not just a small special exhibit and could not be found in any quantity worth of mention or investigation When the inquirer is told that thousands and thousands of acres of the same kind are waiting for him in Eastern North Carolina and Southeastern Virginia, then his interest become a one and he is ready to gate further. One common statement advanced by the railroad is those thousands of acres of virgin soil for the trained farmer from the west and northwest, why need be even consider the mat- of going to any region where he is required to restore and rebuild fer- of worn-out lands, or even con- sider a locality where it is necessary to irrigate in order to insure a crop yield every season With the and product- of a sea coast country, such as exists along the lines of the Nor- folk Southern, why even consider a region subject to the extremes of wet or dry, or in a climate of con- and short growing sea- sons such as is offered in the north- west country Better a ten months cropping season than a six months. Better a twelve months live stock range than one lasting often less than Better a land of sunshine than to be a steady member of a All such arguments appeal to the man from the west who has always lived under conditions different from what are offered in the coast country and who would be the first to a change for the better. Thous- ands of those western farmers who are at the show are in- in the matter of a change in location, which would give them more acres and a longer cropping season, a better climate and better markets. The representative of the Norfolk Southern is keeping a list of these interested people, with their names and addresses, and it is the intent of the industrial department of road to keep in close touch with them after the close of the exposition and with the intention of having them come to make an inspection of the coast try lands. Several photographs have been ken by outside papers, showing the mammoth corn, oats and other field products from the, line of the Norfolk Southern, and these photographs are appearing in the newspapers of Col- Ohio, St. Louis, Mo., Indiana- polis, Ind., Chicago, and many other parts of the country. The best evidence of the quality of the coast country products is the fact that no other exhibits of farm and field have been so illustrated and featured. To show a well trained farmer from the west a sample of real soil and a of produced thereon, he will at once determine what he could do were located in section. The Carolina coast country has Kan- G.

Then came Colorado in California in Massachusetts in and Oregon in 1901, and New York in 1907. Everywhere system has given the most entire satisfaction. It is so immense an improvement over the old lack of any system that where it once takes root it holds unquestioned sway.

Her band died just five weeks ago at an advanced and her death has reunited them after a happy of more than years on earth together Mrs. Cox was years of age, and these years were filled with great use- was a noble woman, a devout communicant of the Episcopal church, and served her day and gen- well. She was a native of Greene county and married to Mr. Cox in March, Three survive son, Mr. E. t. Cox, of Ayden; and two Miss Eula Cox, of Greenville arid Miss Clyde Cox, of New Bern. These were all with her during the last few days of her Illness. Being in feeble health for some time her death was not unexpected, yet it was a shock to her sorrowing children, and this bereavement coming so near to- draws the sympathy or all hearts to them. Funeral services, conducted by Rev. R. F. Brake, were held in St. Pauls Episcopal church at noon today, and the remains were taken to Ayden on the 1.12 p. m.

A winter cover crop largely ore- of soil fertility by washing lands suffer greater than others by washing, but all lands are more or less by it. Soils without cover lose able fertility by evaporation during the fall and winter. A winter cover crop reduces this loss to a negligible quantity. Such crops, to some extent, vent the the land to foul weeds. They increase the prosperity of the soil, and add the humus so to fertility. They make a valuable crop white the lands would otherwise be which is a net gain to the land. We must increase the vegetable matter in the soil to an amount sufficient to en- able the soil to retain a much larger Of the rainfall than at pres- and to greatly increase the me- conditions of the soil. G A very important consideration in the winter cover crop is the largo amount of graving that can be cured from it at a time when it is especially valuable for young stock, and its is not limited altogether to the mere supply or food. It adds to the health and vigor of the stock. On an average from to 1-2 months grazing can be secured at a nominal cost of a little labor In preparing and seeding the land. meat against it, and certainly none comes from any state where the actual trial has been made. Thus the legislature can, if it will, confer an indubitable benefit upon the state. And, as we said at first, a good time to begin stirring the matter is Observer. Legal Notices NOTICE OF LAND SALE.
