up mi j I If. The Carolina Home and Farm and The Eastern Reflector. VIEWED FROM THE OTHER SIDE. --.-. Opposed to Election on Bond Issue For Good Roads. Editor The writer hap hesitated to mix with the Reflector on a question which seems to he pretty well fixed with the sentiment of its editorial columns, well knowing that it is bad policy to try to shoot an assailant with his own gun, but it seems to me that the position of the bond is soaring into such atmosphere that something ought to be done to call their attention to a few facts before they melt their wax in the rays of the evening sun. The writer also recognizes that an argument with a newspaper is not unlike one with a woman, and there- fore is prepared to have the paper say the last word. It sounds somewhat strange to hear the advocates of the bond bill accusing who it of be- afraid of the ally when in the meeting that brought forth the bill and a motion woo made to defer the matter until the general public could apprised of the step proposed, those who dad- died the bill voted the motion down, and that, too, in face of the fact that forty-eight hours notice had been given of the meeting and half of that time extended over a Sun- day. On the other hand when those who opposed the measure called a meeting, there assembled in the town hall in response thereto about the largest crowd exclusively of white people that has ever assembled therein since it was built, and no one seemed to be afraid of the gathered there. In the light of all this, who is it that is afraid of the people How really amusing it is to look at the pious attitude of the bond bill advocates, after they have loaded the with paper wads for the use of the people and the other with lead which they propose to with, parading before the camp of the Israelites and loudly them to battle In order to have a fair Mr. Editor, why not give both sides the same weapons Why should a new registration be required for the el- proposed, when it has been so short a time the general el- Men who voted then, are qualified now.

Popular Young Man Succumbs After Brave Battle. SUGGESTIONS ON CORN WORK The death at o'clock this morn- of William Wallace Moore at the home of his sister, Mrs. J. D. Murphy , avenue came as a shock to a large circle of friends in Ashe- ville. Mr. Moore had been in failing health for the past several years and while some of his intimate friends re- that he was a very sick man others were not aware that his was so critical Mr. Moore came to Asheville from eastern North Car- nearly years ago. He was pointed a clerk in the Asheville post- office by former Postmaster J. P. Kerr in 1893, and had been in the service here continuously for almost years. At the time of his death Mr. Moore was superintendent of city carriers and city distributors. Moore, as he was familiarly known among a large circle of friends, was a fine fellow. He was a gentle- man in every sense of the word; a friend, one might say, to everyone. His was a gentle nature. He was free from malice or hatred and ever de- lighted to do a friend a service. In June, 1908, when the great struggle for the Democratic nomination for governor of North Carolina between Mr. Craig and Mr. Kitchin was on at Charlotte, Mr. Moore over-exerted himself in the cause of Mr. Craig. He became enthusiastic, as almost every- body else did at that time, and his vocal organs practically gave way. For months and months after the con- Mr. Moore could not speak above a whisper. In fact, he never entirely regained his voice. The strain during those convention days evidently weakened his constitution and at times since then Mr. Moore found it necessary to cease work for days at a time. However, he was on duty not so long ago, as usual, was cheerful and hopeful. Mr. Moore was born March 1872, and was therefore almost years of He was a staunch and sterling Democrat. His friends in Asheville were by the Citizen, Feb. 8th. How Our Farmers Can Obtain the Best Results the Coming Year in and Cultivation GREETINGS FROM CALIFORNIA. Make no haste to be rich if you would prosper, Editor I read in the Daily Reflector recent- a call from Prof. W. H. to all the boys, members of the corn club of 1910, and those who desire to become members in 1911, to a meet- to be held in Greenville on 18th. I wish to add to that call an invitation to the fathers of the boys. We want to give all the to the boys that we can, for the boys of today are to be the men of tomorrow. As agriculture is the of our future prosperity, it i. essential that we do all we to educate our boys along that line The great American grain food for men and stock is corn, and by using good methods in preparing and our lands, we can very easily make all the corn we need on our farms. I have been in the ion work in this county two years, and my observation and experience has taught me that we can make bushels of corn where we are now making bushels. I had numbers of men on my work last year who made bushels, and some as high as bushels on high land. There are that are es- to good Drainage. Where land is full of water it shuts out the sun and air, and no plant can grow in cold, wet seed bed. Deep Breaking. When we break to or inches we may expect a or inch crop. Experiments have shown that corn sends some of its roots or feet deep where the soil is porous. in case of ex- rains the water sinks below the roots of the plants, and in dry seasons allows the roots to go down and get moisture. Humus. Without humus we can never get the results our lands are capable of producing. It is especially necessary to have humus in our soil to get the best results from fertilizers. I believe the farmers of our county use every year thousands of dollars worth of fertilizers that does them practically no good, be- cause of using it intelligently. Right here I want to say we should study the fertilizer problem more, and the practical application of to the soil. Last, but not least, the selection of good seed. I have men on my work in this county who in paying close attention to the selection of their seed have improved their corn from an ordinary one-eared variety to a very good two-eared variety. We should always select our seed corn from the field, for then we can get the right type of ear from the right type of stalk. When we select our corn from the barn, we do not know it grew on a one-eared stalk or a two-eared stalk. In my work I have gotten the best results in every in- stance where the prolific corn was planted. We will have with us the Mr. C. R. Hudson, the head of the demon- work in this State and Mr. I. O. the head of the corn club work. We desire that the boys and will bring with them some com, and the gentlemen above men- will go over the exhibits and help them select the best ears for planting.

WHITE GETS LETTER Franklinton Township Has a Road Law Similar to The One Proposed For Green Hie Township They Are Over Results of -The Law. The bill now pending in the leg- to permit the people of Greenville township to vote on the question of Issuing bonds for good roads, was drawn almost similar to one passed a few years ago for Frank- township in Franklin county. Mr. H. A. White recently wrote Mr. H. A. Vann, of Franklinton, to as- certain how the people there were satisfied with results, and received the following reply. Franklinton, N, C, Feb. 1911. Mr. H. A. White, Greenville, N. C. My dear I have your letter of January 31st, relative to the road question, and would have answered more promptly but have been so very busy that this is my first opportunity. There are such a number of things to be said for roads that I hardly know where to begin. From an standpoint, good roads mean more to the farmer than anybody can state in words. You can stand on our streets today and see a little mule hitched to a one-horse wagon in town with three bales of cotton on, and that same mule, before we had good roads, could hardly get here with one bale. Farmers who had wood for sale and couldn't mar- it on account of the bad roads, are now bringing their wood to town, hauling from half to three-quarters of a cord at a time, from five miles out. I know farmers who used to market their products four miles from home because they had an road to go over; now they bring them seven miles to Frank- because they have a good road. Another farmer who owns about acres of land told me that he saved enough in three days hauling, using two mules and hauling wood five miles, to pay his road tax for this year. One man fought the bond is- sue so hard that when he found that he was beaten, he had to be carried home and was sick for a week. When the engineer got to his place laying out the road, he not only had become an enthusiastic road man, but took down his front fence to make room for it. If we were to hold the election over again, I don't believe there would be five men to vote against it. To show you in a more substantial way how farmers feel about it, we have not had to pay a single cent in damages and we have completed over forty miles of roads. Another question is the increase in land values. There's a farm three miles from town which couldn't be sold at two months after a good road was put through it, it sold for cash. These facts I've given you are WITH MRS. F. G. Entertains About Eighty of Her Lady Friends. At her handsome residence, on Fifth street, Thursday evening from to Mrs. F. G.

It places in the hands of those in- in the best utilization of great Appalachian watershed most authentic and detailed yet presented on the subject, representing as it does the results of expert held investigation.

Investigations Made In Eight Slates. Prof. Glenn's studies include parts of eight West Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Tennessee, and Alabama. In the course of the study It was noted that steep slopes formed of certain rocks could be safely cultivated, but that others, no steeper, composed of other, different rocks were cultivated with disastrous results. Observations were made of countless gaping chasms started in steep hillsides by the drag of logs down from timbered hill- that cave and throw down timber and cause the wash of of gravel and cobblestones over fertile valley lands below.

We that when a man reaches the age that entities him to vote he should look care- fully into the principles of the political parties and select the one whose principles he considers beat Then ho should stay with that party as far as he goes in i lies, unless he becomes convinced i that its principles and politics are I wrong. While we believe this, no reason why a voter should become so wrapped up in his that he feels bitter toward all who differ from him. There are people In every com- who are not with a newspaper unless it is very bitter toward the opposite party. To use the idea expressed by another, they expect the editor to be continually and pawing the earth, chewing the bit and foaming at the mouth and calling men liars, and They want to say very hard things themselves through papers and let the publish- take the and financial loss which conies to the paper be- cause it contains such articles. They are ready to say almost anything, them and take the blame, they not being seen in the matter at all. These people are very hard to suit and can never be satisfied unless the editor bows down to them on every occasion. This we dislike to do. We prefer to keep our manhood These people never stop to think the masses of the people are not hot headed over politics. The people generally want some politics in papers, but do not want to much. They think a man can stand by his party getting so full as to explode. The editor frequently bean men say, I do not want your pa- per, as you have to much politics in Others say, will not take your paper during campaign year, I do not want to read so much about Some will not take paper because there is too little politics of their sort, and others will not take it because there is too much. Under circumstances what shall editors do Our idea is that they should go along and do what they think is right, regardless of what people say or do. This is about what we expect to do. We arc willing at ail times to leave our course in such matters with the masses of the people. Herald. ASTHMA. One Bottle of MR. F. L. MR. r. L.

All life appears to periodic. There is progress and then a retro- grade movement. Yet, ever, is an advance, however slight, from year to year. Every phase of life is like the pendulum of a clock. It swings through its arc from ultra conservatism to ultra radicalism, and, unfortunately, if it paused at the golden mean, time, so far as its re- cord is concerned, would be no more In the municipality and in the nation We have these periods of great public awakening, and the conscience of the- people discloses only the fairer feat- es of the individual.

Since the world began, business and wealth have had no such opportunity for the Angel of the Lord to write their names down beside that Ben as they have just now. There may be lessening of dividends, they may not be able to drive so many men if they listen to this con- science, but in listening to it, they will behold a miracle, and that will be that those whom they used to drive will, under the changed conditions, follow them gladly. The world must be led. The hour has most gone when it can be driven. Happy the democrat who, in the hour of peace, will sacrifice some- what of his power, not for the larger, but for the common good. These men can make the ideals of the republic real if they will. Let them try the yoke of brotherhood and if they do not find the yoke easy and the burden light, it will not be heard to discard it. I plead for this because, just now, it is the public conscience; unheeded, it will become the public wrath. Gov. Thomas B. Marshall, of Indiana Items. N. C, Feb. 1911.

Beasley one of the most able editors in the state, has the following to say of the insurance Notwithstanding the governor's strong recommendation that the leg- make some investigation of the condition under which fire in- is sold in this state, the in- lobby has secured an report to a bill providing for such investigation. The fire companies have stated the way of all such corporations. Such policy has always been to declare that there was nothing wrong, and if there was, it was none of the business. Thus at a time when the good will of the public might have been secured by frank and open dealing, every one of these corporations have blindly pursued the policy of doing nothing until driven to it. If there is dead up the insurance branch it would hurt nobody to let a committee walk up and sniff around some. The insurance companies have had everything their own way North Carolina; the insurance department is really a device for protecting them and not the people. They may vent an investigation now, which, of course, only means a more stringent one at some future time. The Journal, it seems to us, is looking at the matter from the viewpoint. A great many thought no investigation was needed when the matter was first suggested. But the activity of the fire insurance companies to prevent investigation is calculated to cause one to pause and think. Some of the methods they are using to prevent investigation also suggests that they would not be overly scrupulous when the business in hand was strictly that of If they resort to crooked deal- to prevent an investigation it is not too much to suppose that they would use the same methods in other Times. , TWO Professional Cards Ever Jive within your J.

That looks like people up there don't think a bond issue would ruin the county. They know that to put tho roads be a good investment. Issuing bonds to build good roads is an investment and not a burden- some mortgage that can never be paid as some people imagine. And it is the best investment a community, a township or a county can make. Good pay for their cost many times over. An example of the of the last census enumeration is shown in the town of Hendersonville. The report gave that town a population of and the citizens went to work and took the census over, the result showing This is quite a difference in figures. o--------- A mass meeting of citizens of Ire- dell county declared in favor of is- suing bonds for to build good roads, the question to be sub- to a vote of the people. Can Pitt county, one of the best in the State, afford to stay behind in the matter of road building. The question is frequently asked, what is the last heard from West, the Wilson murderer We think the last really heard from him was the afternoon he did the fatal shooting. There have been rumors and rumors, but while they were about West he was not about them.

The idea of the conspirators seems to be to cut down the size of the cotton crop by spreading the pest.

South Carolina is peculiarly blessed in having at hand proper materials and conditions for constructing an ideal system of roads. Over the part of her area are found, side by side, sand and clays excellent for constructing sand-clay roads; which our requirements, if properly con- are surpassed by none. The road is and resilient will not stiffen up the teams ab case of harder is not cold enough for to Injured frost; and for to come they will be strong to bear our average traffic. Again, becomes so heavy co a enduring e load will be . u . . a road, prop- will never outlive and picks . . L should . . Lb up side ditches, and clay. Suitable wagons for hauling sand and clay and earth when the road is in cut and fill; these wagons should be such mat can be quickly dumped from the bottom. Wheel scrapers, with a capacity of, cubic feet, should be provided when there is any amount of cut and fill; as they will prove a great saving over wagons. A disk should be provided for cutting up the clay on the roadway to mixing it with the sand; and a spike or spring-tooth narrow for mixing the sand and clay. The best sand-clay road is one in which the wearing surface is com- posed Of grains and sand just touch- each other and with all the voids or angular filled with clay, which as a binder. Any ex- of clay la element of weak- Whenever this mixture, prop- proportioned, is packed six to eight inches upon, the surface of the road it will bear comparatively heavy traffic for a long time and keep good condition; provided the drainage is good and the grades are excessive. From what has been said above it is seen that in order to get the best results all of the voids in the sand must be tilled with clay. The of voids may be determined by taking a sample of the sand and thoroughly drying it in an then take a quart cup full of this sand and a quart cup full of water and pour the water into the sand until tho voids are filled and the water stands level with the face of the sand. The water absorb- ed by the sand can be taken as an approximate measure of the voids in the quart of sand. A simple cal- will reduce this to per cent of voids. A road machine or scraping grader for shaping up the surface in shape until tho road is thoroughly If the surface is to be finish- ed at once there should be provided a sprinkling cart and roller; the roller being either horsepower or a steam roller. The sand should be clean, sharp and sound; that is it should free from all loamy soil, vegetable matter, and trash, these requirements very the grains should angular and rough, and tough and hard. The sand may be tested by rubbing a sample In the palms of the hands and noting if there is any cutting action and how much dirt there is left on the hands. Tho clay should be plastic and sticky and also should slake fairly easy. Care should be exercised to select a clay that does not slake too easy, that it fall to pieces easily; as the binding power will be deficit. Great care should also be exercised to select a clay that does not shrink too much on drying out. as this will cause the face to crack and thus weaken the road. This tendency may be to some extent by adding more sand. Experience has shown that the tendency is to calculate too little rather than too much sand for given amounts of clay, and it will be necessary to make the and third application of the road becomes sticky r cut up in wet weather or cracks in dry weather add more on the other hand if the road breaks during a dry spell add more clay. There are two conditions to be dealt . in building sand-clay roads the toad may run through a sandy country, which case clay must be added to the surface; or if the road be of clay it must be improved by the addition of sand. Since In these two cases the methods of are entirely different, they will be treated separately in detail. Two In Order.

Super- and the board of education are using their influence in that direction and in a number of schools a class In agriculture is be- taught, but we learn that in districts this study is not being taught at all and that in many in- stances where a class is taught only a small number of students are in the class. One of the main reasons for this lack of interest in the principles of the agricultural Industry seems to hinge on the fact that parents do not encourage their children in the study and that they are negligent about furnishing them with the necessary books.

If there are, I suppose they are relatives of mine and I would be glad to correspond with them. My father and mother were born and raised in Pitt, county.

One of his brothers was named another was named John, and I think another was Charles. He had one sister who mar- a man by the name of Luke Lo- hon or There may have been more brothers and sisters, but these are all that I can call to mind now. My father's first wife and my moth- was Elizabeth Parker. There were three children born to that union; the first one named Marion died in infancy, the second, Elbert, lived to be about years old and died in Tennessee, the third and last one was myself, Elias, and I am years old. My mother died in Pitt county in 1846 and my father married a second time in 1848 or His last wife was named Tripp, daughter of Tripp, of Pitt county. They moved to Tennessee in 1849 and ed six children, all cf whom are there, except one who is living in Texas. My father has b en dead near years. My grandfather Parker, I think, lived and died in Pitt county. My mother had two brothers and two sisters that I can remember, the brothers being Frank and James Park the sisters Sylva, who married Simon Hamilton and Rachael, who married a man by the name of Jesse Braxton. They moved to Tennessee in an early day. If you can place this letter in the hands of any of my relatives you will confer a very great favor upon me, and I will be glad if they will write to me immediately. Yours truly, ELIAS BRAXTON.
