TO BE BY Prime Object of t Defeat Kr- f Tart. During the week beginning Mon- day, March the Southern Railway company, in line with its policy of doing everything possible for the bet- of agricultural conditions in the territory traversed by its lines, run two special agricultural trains. One of these trains will be operated In co-operation with the department of agriculture and immigration and will spend the en- tire week on the Richmond division, embracing the lines between Rich- and Danville and Richmond and West Point. Meetings have been ranged at twelve points at which the train will stop. The other will be run over the lines of the Southern Rail- way and the Queen and Crescent route in Kentucky co-operation with the department of agriculture and the college of agriculture of that state. Twenty-four stops will be made by this train. Each of these trains will be in charge of parties made up of men of scientific knowledge and practical ex- who will be able to give in- formation of the greatest value. Sub- be arranged to meet the most pressing needs of the different sections visited. Bad weather will not be allowed to interfere with the meet- as all will be held in the coaches which the trains will carry. The Southern Railway in connect- ion with other lines is furnishing ab- free of charge a train with which the State College of of Georgia is making a forty seven day tour of the state. The great expense entailed by the running these trains is borne by the Southern in the belief Us interests are identical with those of the farmers of the south and that it will eventually be repaid by the improvements in con- that will result from an in- creasing adoption of better methods of agriculture.

Ad- is Mr. business, but every word he uttered in a recent Atlanta address was true. The writer only the other day had this very subject in mind and out of curiosity went into two or three stores in an endeavor to find a cracker different from those of the brand, but practically every- thing of this kind was found to in a package bearing the name of the National Biscuit Company, the con- that makes the crackers. There are numerous cracker factories throughout the South, but they are not known extensively outside of the counties in which they are operated, and it is because they do not put their goods up in attractive packages and advertise them. There is no table syrup in the world better than could be and is being made right here in the South, and yet simply because of aggressive and attractive advertising by certain firms in the West and Northwest we do not seem to know how to call for anything but their particular brand of corn syrup; and if we did call for other syrups the grocer would not know anything about them. There are being made in the South good brands of cotton hosiery, knit underwear, and shoes as any- where in the North, and yet we are prompted to call for those that are made in New York and setts, simply because we see the names in almost every and newspaper we pick up. It is said that Concord, N. C, can make enough towels to supply every hotel in America, but Concord her- self is not known outside the State, to say nothing of her towels.

II Kings gift of God It eternal through Jesus Christ our OUR lesson follows in order the one of n week ago. Elisha was with Elijah until the whirl- wind separated them and took Elijah out of sight. His mantle drop- to Elisha and Elisha's prayer was answered that a double portion of Eli- Jab's spirit might rest upon him. The same miracle occurred to him as to Elijah tho prophet. On the other side of Jordan be began his career as a prophet- At Jericho the supply of water came from a brackish stream, unpalatable unhealthful. Elisha went to the fountain and there performed a miracle similar to the one performed by Moses at the Wells of Moses at To this day the spring is known as Elisha's Fountain. Again we read that one of these of the or students, died and that bis widowed mother was in want and that the Prophet Eli- helped to exercise faith. She had a cruse of oil, which in- creased in supply as she poured It from vessel to vessel until she had sufficient for ail her debts. Several other miracles of n re- ration character are the noted, the most. prominent of which is related in our lesson, namely, tho restoration of a boy to life and health. The thing connected with Elisha's ex- which has attracted to him world-wide attention and general rep- was his cursing of forty-two youths. A Just Rebuke and Lesson The thought is that he condemned them, just Jesus said to some with most kindly art, unto you, scribes and etc. So Elisha pro- woe or blight upon those youths of various ages who taunted him. He declared that something would befall them. Divine Justice would square accounts and vindicate him. Forthwith two she bears came upon the rabble, put them to flight, and forty-two of the mob were torn and or less. Opponents of the Bible read into this tho forty- two children were killed, but nothing of the kind is stated. We are to remember that the Israel- under tho leadership of their King and Queen Jezebel had been turned to idolatry, and that although the Prophet Elijah had re-established the true religion, the King and Queen and the majority of the people merely tolerated it. These youths who had against tho Prophet were prob- ably the young men boys of Jeri- Considered Typical. Our Interest in this story of Elisha's experiences after Elijah was taken Increases as we consider the fact that he, like Elijah, was quite a and typical character. We have already intimated a be- tween Elijah the priests and between Elisha and the of the Gospel Age. Elisha may Inauguration Messiah's in all the From this standpoint we might think of Elisha representing the secondary class of the spirit-begotten ones first, and that his crossing of Jordan represents the death of this class of With this view the after progress of Elisha bis work of judgment restitution already referred to, well with what we should ex- at the Inauguration of Messiah's Kingdom under the The healing of the water-spring would well represent the healing of the stream of Truth.

There have been vast changes and improvements in farming methods within the last few years. The old- fashioned farmer who plowed, sowed, hoed and harvested In the way his father and grandfather did before him is now learning better ways. He is finding out that vast saving of time, money and energy may be made by using his wits in the adoption of modern methods. The farmers are fast learning the lesson of soil conservation, cation and scientific rotation of crops and better ways of marketing. And this knowledge is going where it will do the most practical farm It does not stop when the ink dries on the pages Of the agricultural journals. Experiments have resulted in plans put into practice; and the results of experiments that sounded a few years ago like fairy tales are no longer regarded in a skeptical light and sarcastically and sneering- called that will not do when put to practical tests.

I had just about hours to make inquiry of my lamented friend, Dr. E, H. whether to go or not, and to get to Kinston in time for the train that evening. I decided to attend the meeting which was called for the next day, so I set out for the depot as soon as I could get ready and got as far as Goldsboro that night. There I fell in with Judge Connor who gave me a letter of introduction to Mr. A. M.

A NEW USE FOR CONVICTS. Robeson County Let Them Out to Grab Stumps. In the year of grace 1910, in the eleventh month of the year, the of the county of Robeson elect- ed five men, known as commissioners, to administer the affairs of the county justly and righteously. In this county certain transgress- ors are sentenced for period of vary length to the chain gang, to work upon the roads; and it is the duty of to employ this gang, under a keeper of their to work the roads of the county and keep them in repair, so that the people may travel up and down upon these roads, and go to and fro in the land. Now It came to pass in the year of grace 1911, in the second month of the year, the same being February, while it was yet early in the month, though roads in various portions of the were in exceeding bad condition, the work of the chain gang it came to pass that there were no re- quests from any particular portion of the county for the gang, so the commissioners said to the keeper, Mr. W. D. Go to, now, we know that thou art a careful man and a prudent; take therefore the gang call- ed chain to thy farm hard by the town called Lumberton, on the road called Carthage, and do with them as thou wilt for the space of days; and for this thou shalt feed the men at thine own expense and shalt also work the road that runs through thy farm; and return again to us at the end of days. Now the keeper had upon his land many stumps, in an abundance called galore, so much so that to the passer by they seemed to freckle the land- scape. So the keeper did even according to the word of the commissioners, and after working the specified ch of road, which is but little more than a stone's throw in length, the keeper caused the men whose labor had been so generously given him by the commissioners to toil diligently with the stumps, and lo, before the days were numbered, to the passer- by the stump-freckled fields appeared as clean as the palm of a man's hand man's hand, and much store of stumps was piled at the keeper's house.

COLONEL WILLIAM MAY KING. Posing of A Long and Life. Honorable In the death of Mr. William M. King, which occurred at o'clock this morning at his home on Fifth street, there passed away one of Greenville's oldest, best and most esteemed citizens. He was years of age, had been in feeble health since November and confined to his bed about three weeks. William May King was born No- 18th, 1833, in Falkland town- ship, Pitt county, and spent his early life on the farm. He was a of the Home Guards in and became a colonel of the militia. His first official position was as justice of the peace under appoint- of Governor In 1870 he became a county commissioner, serving them for two years, and was one of Pitt county's members of the State constitutional convention in He was elected sheriff in 1882 and served six years, being chosen to that office three times in In 1894 he was elected of deeds and served two years, and was again com- missioner in 1896, serving for two years. Mr. King moved from his farm to Greenville early in the year 1885 and spent the remainder of his life here, but never losing interest in his farm. He was an exemplary citizen, strong in his character and personal con- yet always respecting the opinions of others, and was noted for his abundant charity and deeds of kindness. For years he was a Mason, being for many years Master of the lodge at Falk- land and also at Greenville after his membership here. He was also a Royal Arch Mason, being a charter member of the first chap- ever established in Greenville. In November, 1856, he married Miss Dicey Almeta Peebles, the aged wife surviving him. They celebrated their golden wedding in 1906. There are four surviving children, Mrs. Pattie Winstead, of Rocky Mount; Mrs. S. C. Wells, of Wilson; Mrs. G. B. King, of Washington City, and Mrs. L. I. Moore, of New Bern. These were all with him in his last hours. He also leaves two sisters, Mrs. A. V. New- ton, of Fountain and Mrs. Ben Moore, of Farmville. At o'clock Sunday morning the body will be taken from his late residence, under Masonic escort, to the church on Dickinson avenue, where services will be conducted by Rev. W. O. From the church the body will be taken to the old home place near Falkland, where the burial will take place at o'clock, p. m., with Masonic honors. Concert Tour Oxford Singing Class.

The primary conditions of admissions have always been the destitution, the need of the children. While the management of the Ox- ford Orphanage strive to exercise the strictest economy consistent with effectiveness in the work, we have in- formation that an Increase of its an- income is now essential for its maintenance even up to its present standard of efficiency. Surely our whole people will see to it that this work is not restricted because of lack of financial support. The class begins its first tour bet- equipped than usual and with bright prospects for a most success- tour. Our people will delight to patron- the concerts soon to be given.

The legislature has had bills protect fish, oysters, fur bearing animals, birds, and almost everything else but sheep. Have you thought about anything good for Greenville today Or do you still hold to the disposition to grouch and kick about something Another North Carolina newspaper that is getting old, and better as it grows, is the Smithfield Herald, that recently closed its thirtieth year. The legislators are facing home- ward, where they can give account of what they have done during the The most explanation will have to be made of what they did not do. Even if the legislature did sit down on them, the High Pointers have not given up their fight for Piedmont county. They propose to keep the question alive and try again.

Some day the voice of the people will be heard, When the Cotten Torrens land-title bill called for no appropriation and was not on any body, but only gave to those who wanted to register their lands under its pro- visions and have the title teed by the State an opportunity to do so, we are unable to see why the legislature should have had any ob- to passing it.

A to the Oklahoma Farm Journal Everyone in the semi-arid country who has tried it has recognized the benefits of following each half-day or day's plowing with the harrow before turning out of the field, but many of us, especially on hot days, hate to get off of the smooth riding plow and take up the toughest of farm, following of the row over the soft ground. Then again, we get in a hurry and decide to finish this hitching to the harrow, and a lot of valuable is lost that should have been saved and the ground is not in the tilth it should be. When I first saw advertised a row attachment for a plow I exclaim- ed, But like most of my brothers, when I began to figure on the cost, added to the large amount already invested in farm machinery that I haven't shed-room to take care of, like them, I paused. But I could not get that idea out of my head. I never hitched to the plow without the, idea incessantly revolving in my mind and urging me to while And I solved the problem I made a harrow that will do the work, do it well, and it cost of cents I picked up two pieces of and one piece three feet long, and made them into a-harrow with a three-foot spread, and nailed a brace across the back end. Went to the hardware store and bought a dime's worth of 40-penny wire hails and drove half of them into the row so they would cut four inches apart, giving them a slight back slope so they would not gather the trash; put a clevis on the front end and ran a stout wire from it to the front of the plow-frame. Then bent a loop in the thread end of an old wagon end- gate rod, ran the clevis bolt and the harrow through the eye of the rod and wired the loop end to the back end of the plow-frame ed as I plowed It is so simple anyone can make it so cheap all can afford it, and does such fine work everyone should have it It so light it does not cause a side-draft on the plow and does not appear to make any more weight for the team. I use it on a 16-inch plow and as it gives two to the fresh- turned land it leaves it in shape. Try it. this was cruel Which being true, how are you going to kill a chicken For the benefit of the lady who phoned today, we might state that we once knew a man bothered with pigeons belonging to a neighbor who fixed them. He placed three or four fish hooks, baited with corn, the line being fastened to the ground, around his garden. In half an hour each hook had a pigeon. He kept this up, quietly of course, until the supply of pigeons gave out. but the owner never knew what went with his pigeons. This, however, would be extreme cruelty. So really after all we do not know what advice to give the good woman. She might kill her neighbors who will not keep their chickens confined, but she would not like to be electro- for Re- cord.

A mighty good woman, who would not hurt a flea, phoned today that her neighbors the best kind of neighbors, too kept a large number of chickens and that her lawn had been ruined by the chickens forever scratching around the flowers. She wanted to know if there was any redress. Might kill the chickens, but she could be indicted for Cruelty to Not long ago a man was indict-, ed for chopping a rooster's off with an this being called cruel. The defendant escaped on a but is said the Supreme court has held that cutting off a chicken's head is cruelty. How about the good old way of the head off grab the fowl by the neck and ring and ring until the head comes off Would not the Supremo court say Leslie's to Boom the South. Many of the great northern papers and magazines have been attracted by the resources of the south and there is hardly an issue that does not contain something concerning the progress of this great part of the country and the fine opportunities it holds in store. Of course, some of them are looking for business in the south, for the southern communities are spending good money to advertise themselves, but, outside of that, many of the greatest publications in America are devoting much space to gratuitous information about the south. Quite naturally the south is much progress that live publications would get far be- hind the times were they not to keep up with the developments in Dixie, Southern activity is compelling con- publicity of a general but the south has become inter- in a business way to the cations which have large circulation in this country and Europe.

He will leave on Friday, and it will be the first time the box and its contents have ever been taken out of Long Island, where the were collected. Mr. Field's great-grandfather, also named Benjamin P. Field, made the in 1789.

It is frequently asserted that the church too often turns the to the poor man and comes the rich. The truth is, how- ever, that such is not the attitude of the church as such, and that man- of that sort of are not characteristic of the church as a whole. As a matter of fact, the so called, who pretends to have a on this score, spends more time complaining about the attitude of the church toward him than he spends going to church. Most exceptions prove the rules to which they are exceptions and it is only a coincidence, if it is true, that the church contains more rich than poor people. The church can be nothing but what the people who attend it make it, and it is illogical to plead an ab- of where presence is not only a right but a duty. If the stay away from church they are sleeping on their the lawyers their duty as well. It is that lines of this sort should be drawn, but often those who do the most complaining are the ones who draw the lines. The church is the poor man's home and hearthstone and the question of is one of the smallest problems that confront him. To draw such lines is paying more attention to the god of mammon than to the God of love. On a per capita basis the financial possessions of the churches today are very much smaller than many imagine them to be, for the overwhelming majority of the church members are by no means wealthy hardily even well-to-do. Much of the trouble which has resulted in the existence of this whole with people who aside. of doing . rights in i which i own. as as It be- longs to people of wealth.

The church is one place where there can be no inequality of rights; and that fact has helped the church to live and flourish through ages when other institutions have failed and decayed. Greensboro News. Training a Dog to Steal Who says the colored brother enterprise, ingenuity or talent t George Jones, of Berkley, Va., has a trained dog. He taught the dog to steal chickens scientifically, seizing a fowl by the throat so it could not cackle and conveying to his hiding safely near by. By this pro- a roost would be deprived in a night without a sound of invasion and without peril to skin. No doubt after each theft the dog would wag his tail and congratulate him- self as an honest, faithful and useful he was according to his lights. By a stretch of the law George was convicted and sent to the rock pile, along with his dog; and the dog actually stole chickens and carried them to the convict camp to his master. This is the most curing plan yet discovered. It is better even than the invention of the soldiers in the war, consisting of a buggy whip and at the small end of it a weighted cord which by a deft movement could be wrapped about the neck of a sleeping chicken at almost any height or distance and the victim yanked off the perch and drawn to hand without a protest a struggle. Roanoke Times Blessings in Disguise. High priced labor and scarcity of labor are blessings in disguise for he Southern farmer. Necessity will compel the farmer to put into intelligent methods and economic principles. He must get out of the old, stupid, careless and indifferent way. He must put life-giving mus into his dead soil and deepen the soil until it will yield the high- est return for the labor invested. He must realize that his soil is his cap- ital stock and that any kind of that does not show an increase in the capital stock must stagnate and in the end result in Union Farmer. One thing is certain, and this is that the Southern farmers must rapid- as possible substitute horse-power and machinery for much human labor. There are plenty of laborers if their labor was made more effect- through the use of machinery as is done in the F. Massey, in Progressive Farmer.

Friday afternoon a mule drawing la cart In which were three men, was coming up Third street. One of the men sat in front driving, while the I other two sat on a bale of hay be- hind. Just before reaching Evans street that bale of hay took a notion to tumble out of the cart, and it also rolled out the two men who thought they were holding it down, the hay and men piling in the street together. This frightened the mule and he jumped off for a run, giving the driver all he wanted to attend to. The split log drag drawn by a pair of mules at work on Third street at the time, going westward, and the runaway mule to dodge this outfit hung a wheel of the cart into the wheel of a buggy hitched to a horse tied in front of Dr. S. of- The collision of the two vehicles upset the cart and threw the driver out into the split log drag, but the driver of the drag held his mules and they did not seem to mind the extra weight on their load. The shafts of the buggy were broken and the horse between them turned around with his head to the buggy to get a view of what was going on, but did not break the tie rein and get away.

The sud- den taking-up of the mule at the telephone pole caused him also to reverse ends, so that his head instead of his tail was next to the cart. It was an amusing spectacle from start to finish, and about the only damage out of it all was the broken buggy shafts.

Appellant prior to purchasing his ticket, had been drinking with some friends whom he had met. After boarding the train, the car being warm, he fell into a stupor. The conductor, pass- through, collected his ticket with- out the passenger's knowledge. Soon after, the conductor again demanded a ticket of the who this time awoke and began a fruitless search for After hunt- in every pocket except the one, that of the conductor, that official and the brakeman helped him off. He was now left In a helpless and deplorable condition, and more- over, his overcoat and baggage were left on the train. After wandering aimlessly about for a time, he was found by some boys who took him to a hotel. He spent a bad night and became so sick that a physician was necessary. The next morning when he he knew nothing about being put oft the train or where he was, or how he got there. Upon learn- the facts, he brought this action for being so humiliated and recover- ed Appellant contends that was not entitled to recover, because when he was put off was too drunk to understand or what Was being done, and there- fore, could not have been humiliated. insists that when he regain- ed his senses he was deeply ed, for he had occasion frequently to explain to his friends how he came to be ejected from the train, thus him much chagrin. The court of Civil Appeals of Texas holds that it was immaterial whether he ed the humiliation at the very time of his ejection, if he was prevented from so by his inebriated con- because to hold otherwise would be equivalent to saying that one committing an indignity upon another might escape liability, if it were shown that at the time of the commission the person was of or insensible to such notwithstanding the fact that upon regaining consciousness he might intensely suffer by reason thereof.

O, FRIDAY MARCH 1911. Number II, Where Farmers Fail in Fertilization for Tobacco O. L. JOYNER, President Farmers Consolidated Tobacco Company There is no one thing that is more generally ignored by farmers, or treated Indifferently by them, than the matter of fertilizing for the to- crop, while In reality, there is probably no one feature In the grow- of tobacco that more import- ant. For a long time, our farmers used almost exclusively for tobacco a brand of fertilizer analyzing 3-8- that is to say, a fertilizer con- per cent, ammonia, per cent phosphoric acid and per cent potash, which to be more explicit means that in a ton of fertilizer containing this analysis there are pounds of ammonia, pounds of potash and pounds phosphoric acid. By actual test, it Is known that pounds of tobacco takes out of the soil about pounds of potash and from to pounds of ammonia. Of course, our tobacco soils all have a certain amount of ammonia and potash, but the question for the farmers is whether this ammonia and potash that is present in the soil, is avail- able in sufficient quantities to make complete plant food for a growing crop of tobacco. Most of our farm- use about pounds of to tho acre. This means they put in pounds of potash and pounds of ammonia In commercial form. If there is sufficient quantity of potash and ammonia available in the soil to complete the plant food, all well and good, but if not, the re- is a poor crop of tobacco, some- thing with which a great many of us have been afflicted during the last few years, and in this connection, here, it is not out of place to say that no amount of fertilizer is going to make a good crop of to- when such abnormal seasons as we have had in Eastern North a for the last few years although proper preparation will, to a large extent, overcome the deficiency in seasons, and will en- able the plant to employ the plant food put in the land to a much bet- advantage. The Important however, with farmers is, do we use enough ammonia and potash in our tobacco fertilizer As a gen- rule the answer is ably, no. We should therefore use fertilizer running higher, especially in potash. One of the most painstaking and intelligent farmers in my knowledge Mr. Leon F. Evans, has clearly by a series of experiments that the use of guano running high in sulphate of potash will pay. In his tests, he used fertilizer running from per cent to per cent potash, and from to per cent ammonia. From tobacco on which he used pounds of fertilizer analyzing per cent potash, he sold something over worth of tobacco per acre more than from the tobacco fertilized with 3-8-3, and all the tobacco was treated, cultivated, cured and sold alike, except in the matter of It has been found, very much to the disadvantage of our Eastern North Carolina tobacco, especially that its burning qualities are not as good as the burning qualities of the old belt tobacco and in a series of meetings last fall, held under the of the Tobacco As- of the States, and participated in by Mr. E. H. Matheson an expert from the United States De- of Agriculture, this import- ant matter was urgently called to the attention of the farmers. Mr. Mathe- son contended that the general use by farmers of a fertilizer running or per cent in sulphate of potash would very materially Improve the burning qualities of our tobacco, and thus materially add to its value. This matter should be seriously considered by all our farmers, for while in in- instances, may ma- add to the money value of their crops of tobacco by using more potash, yet, to improve the general quality of our tobacco, farmers, us a whole, must adopt this system of fertilizing. The use of pounds of running per cent sulphate pot- ash gives to the tobacco the ate use of lbs. of sulphate pot- use of pounds of sulphate of pot- ash. That soil would therefore have to be very deficient In potash content that did not yield a good crop of to- with pounds of such in normal seasons. The serious condition and discussion of this question will redound to tho good of the tobacco farmers. A Pointer to Farmers. The Sun is always glad to aid the farmers and do what it can for their advancement and the promotion of their Industries and give them a greater success. Mr. W. C. the buyer for the A. T. Company, gives us a hint, and we use it in the hope that it will be beneficial to the farmers and at the same time enable them to real- better results from the sale of their tobacco. The suggestion is Before planting tobacco seed blow the carefully to get out the chaff or faulty seed, and in this way you can rid the planting of seed that will make a faulty of tobacco. Or else, another way is to put the seed in just before planting, and this will bring all of the faulty seed to the top and can easily be The farmers are requested to do this before they bow their plant bed, and thus improve the next crop. Such a precaution has been known to in- crease the value of crops In other states to a very handsome per cent. It is worth Sun. The Man Who Helps. A town's best asset is a bunch of men who have money, enterprise public spirit. A man who establish- es an enterprise which enables many other people to a living while he makes something on their labor, is a desirable citizen and public The man who has a pay- roll to meet is not a theoretical but a practical Star Rotation for Farm Conditions. Now is the time to plan crop rota- for the farm and while changes may be made, if necessary, it will be found most satisfactory to lay out the fields and plan the crop rotations so that there will be system and method in the farming operations. A lawyer or doctor may spend weeks studying one case, why should we not put our best though and time in planning a rotation of crops for the farm Surely the of tho matter merits our best Farmer. Sometimes the harder a man is to land the less he pleases the who lands him. The more talking a man does the more denying he has to do. Nitrate of Soda for Crops, If wheat or oats do not seem thrive as they should, it is o good practice to apply some nitrate of soda. I have used as much as pounds an acre on wheat, always plying when the leaves are dry, to avoid scalding. In one experiment I increased the wheat crop nine bush- els an acre on part of fie Held with an application of of nitrate, this part making bushels where the rest of the Held made bushels, the land being in rather a low state of fertility. But followed that wheat with peas and gathered only the peas, the next season that land made a fine corn crop. Could have made heavier one had fol- lowed the peas with crimson clover, but at that time we had not found out the value of this clover.- V. Massey, in Progressive Farmer, HIM
