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

According to Information furnished by the United Stales department of commerce and gal- of cotton seed oil were produced in North Carolina In 1909. This was worth approximately This is a considerable amount of money and the market which demands this product is an important one to the people of the Slate. This fact has held men who wish to see oleomargarine take the place of butter to make it appear that the manufacture of oleomargarine fur- one of the greatest if not the greatest reasons for this market de- Hut such is not the case. In fact the value of the cotton seed used in the manufacture of this- product is so small in comparison that it is not worthy of the least consideration, especially when the value of the dairy products of the state are considered. We do not have the statistics but in the value of the cotton seed oil used in the of oleomargarine in this country was 499,458.42. The value of all the cotton seed oil produced in was This means that less than one per cent of the cotton seed oil sold was in making oleomargarine. According to the department re- port, North Carolina produced about per cent, of all the cotton seed produced in 1909. Using this figure for and we find that the of the cotton seed oil used in oleo margarine returned to the cotton, farmers of North Carolina the com small amount of 967.50. According to figures compiled by the United States department agriculture, the value of butter pro- in North Carolina in 1908 was or for every dollar's worth of cotton seed oil used in making oleomargarine the cows of the state returned over worth of dairy products. These are facts which the farmers of North Carolina should carefully consider before they lend their sup- port to any movement which dis- courages dairying. An in the production of dairy products in North Carolina will be just times of greater value than an increase in the production of oleomargarine. This is not even taking in to consider- the value of dairying in build- up the fertility of the soil, thus making the land more productive in growing cotton. The farmers of North Carolina should awake to the benefits of dairy- and should use every legitimate means to footer and promote this important industry. PIONEERS NEEDED.

Scot land and lumber company. One of most difficult things is to do things a little differently from your neighbors and yet that is among the first of the needs in the life of America today. The life of the city is different from that of the country. There the quicken- influence of growth and accelerate development, co-op- is in voluntary and there is less need for a large number of leaders. In the country the problem is more complicated. The average farmer lives the year round in a rut. Many of his customs he has inherited from his father. Others he copies from his neighbors. As a result life pro- from one year's end to an- other with not one-tenth degree of the progress witnessed in the city, into which Is all the time pouring new Ideas and new influences. To illustrate, it has been the tom for decades in the country to squabble over land lines, over differ- in religious opinion, etc. It has been a custom here and there to indulge in that baneful neighborly gossip which does no one any good and does everybody concerned an Infinite amount of harm.

One county may need more schools, or better teachers, or longer terms and more teachers. One fact, thousands of them in this each year to the city a great many more of its young men and women than it can. afford. There is a way to keep these young men and men at home, and to invest in the country the energy that in the city. Now, I suggest that if you want to write yourselves down as a factor to your fellows, that you get out and start doing some of these things that the rest of your neighbors are too lazy, too blind, or too busy to do or see.

I was once talking with a State commissioner of agriculture, re- marked that when I was farming on a large scale I used ten mules. He said, is too many. A four- horse farm is all that one man should and his idea of a four-horse farm, was a tract of land on which, where I now live no one would think of using less than eight horses. On such a farm as this man indicated, every one of the four horses would be hitched to a plow to plow the land for the crop, and every plow would take a man, and the plowing would be about three inches deep, while the eight horses would take no more men, but the team would plow at least six inches deep, and the same four men would cultivate a far larger area with two-horse rid- cultivators. We need to get away from the old idea of estimating a farm by horses, and should use all the horses we can make profitable. W. F. Massey, in Progressive Farmer.

One of the women over whom this sentence was hanging was packing up her belongings preparatory to taking her departure, when she miss- ed a pair of shoes. She reported to Policeman Clark that the shoes had been stolen and the officer went out to investigate. The officer inquired who had been at her house and she told him only some men, one of them called having arrived from Washington Sunday night and brought two suit cases with him. Learning that one of the suit cases had been left at he house of a woman named Mattie Sutton, Officer Clark went there and found it contained twelve new razors and two new pistols, which he took possession of. The other suit case was found at an- other house, but it was empty, though a new pistol was found hid in a bed. whose name is Arthur Carney with several aliases, was arrested and locked up, and the men in whose houses the suit cases were found were detained. An exam- of the razors showed the name of J. H. Harris Plumbing and Supply Company on some of them. Officer Clark telephoned to that firm in Washington and learned that their store had been robbed Saturday night Deputy Sheriff Lucas came up from Washington and took and the stolen goods back with him. It is believed that the order of Mayor Wooten that the women tried Monday leave the county, and the of nips in the bud a plan for a gang of burglars to collect here and make raids on stores and residences, with a possibility of a repetition of the recent tragedy in Wilson.

It may not be so intended, but the effect may be the same as if the order contemplated the capture of the City of a clash should occur between can and Mexican troops, the can army will march forward. It will never turn backward until the City of Mexico is occupied, and perhaps not then. Nothing is easier than to make a demonstration of military force. The military advisers of the president may be depended upon to make the most of the argument that a prompt display of force will tend to prevent trouble and disrupt the revolution in Mexico.

Editor Some few days ago, when the sun was shining, and no doubt The Re- thought that spring had come, your editorial column chided the anti- bond people with a decrease in their criticism of the sand clay roads. But like the whole bond proposition, only the present was thought of, and no eye was cast into the future. Now the rain has come, the mud is deep, and the sand-clay roads ought to be ashamed of themselves to place their boosters in such a plight. Why even the plank road, the road that all the bond advocates have pointed to with so much eloquence is a mud-terror. A few days ago the were giving joy rides out on the Falkland road to demonstrate its magnificence; today not a one of them will venture upon its bosom. A few days ago a bond advocate would have split his shirt in eulogizing that road; today no man who lives on it can refrain from cussing. Any up- man who has plodded his youthful ways along the red clay roads of Granville and other count- to the west, and who has lived down here with us for quite awhile, could not resist the tears of youth- memories, nor refrain from whist- ling Sweet when first his eyes rest upon the long red streak of mud that wends its way toward Falkland.

Of course, some bond agitator will Bay that the present roads are not constructed properly and all that; and then the question arises if it costs a thousand dollars a mile to make them they are now, how much more will it take to construct them properly. Some time ago you were shouting, to the people to but it seems to the writer that the friends of the bond issue would be afraid to call an election for fear a shower of rain would catch them in the midst of their campaign; and if it did, then they would have only the art gallery in front of The Reflector office to fall back upon.

The were ushered to the cloak room, from there led to the punch bowl in the hall, which was presided over by Miss M. Ruth Tun- stall and Mr. David Moore. The punch bowl was surrounded by pink orchids and evergreens. The keynote in the decoration was pink and green, the class colors. Cut vases, here and there in the hall and parlor, were filled with pink the class flower. The young ladies were charming in their pretty, girlish frocks of either pink or greens, while the young men were handsome in conventional black. So joyous was the occasion that it was difficult to tell which were pupils and which were teachers. The class of 1911 is a remarkable one, both as to individuals and as a whole. They have worked faithfully and have won the admiration and respect of their faculty. To have seen their easy grace, to have heard their responses, and to have listen- ed to the different class members, would have convinced the most that the high school is the place to lay the foundation for an After a short while was spent in lively conversation, the class dent and Mr. Smith led the eager banqueters to the board. The din- room was prettily decorated with the class colors. Each guest found his place marked with a card bear- his or her name and class motto, can. These were tied with pink and green ribbons to a large pink carnation. Pretty menu cards were placed at each plate. The center of the table was marked by a reflector, surrounded by evergreens and orchids, bearing a vase of pink The only other table decorations were candelabras, bearing fourteen pink and green candles, one for each member of the class.

THINGS THAT ARE NO NEWS. SHORT MEASURES. FRIDAY, MARCH 1911. THE SCHOOL TOO SMALL. The niggardliness of the last leg- towards East Carolina Training School becomes more apparent in comparison with what was done for other educational institutions. In almost every other instance appropriations were not only made tor support and maintenance, but also for extensions and improve- Yet tor East Carolina Teach- Training School there was only a scant appropriation for with an existing to be paid out of this, and the school got nothing for improvements. The people of Eastern North Caro- have sufficient cause to feel that this matter they were treated bad- and unjustly by the legislature. The education committee of that body visited the school, saw its needs of enlargement and recommended the making of an appropriation accord- but the appropriation failed. Greenville and Pitt county put in the building and equipment of this and presented it to the State, and State has only put in it. Every State official who has seen school acknowledges that the State has a line property In it.

During the courses for teachers last The House Weights and Measures Club is a new organization recently perfected in Indianapolis, Ind., with a membership of several hundred women of that city. The club has officers and trustees, and is said to be the first of its kind ever formed in this country. Its establish- it is believed, will be followed by the organization of similar so- in other large cities. The purpose of the organization is to ob- a strict enforcement of the laws regarding scales, weights and measures. The women of Indianapolis are represented as taking a great inter- est in the movement. Every of the new society, by reason of its rules, must weigh and measure all goods delivered at their houses, and whenever any thing is found to be short, the fraction of an ounce or an inch, it is to be the duty of the member to call up the city tor and vigorously prosecute the of- fender. The Post does not know whether there is need for such a society in hopes not but in cities where there is a call for an organization of the kind, it appears, it would be a good thing. The society would at least have a healthy effect in bringing about strict honesty in Post. His of the press through- out North Carolina are glad to know that Editor C. H. Poe, of the Progressive Farmer has returned from his trip abroad which covered a period of about six months. His trip embraced many foreign countries, and he gathered a fund of that will be of great value to his readers. In a personal letter to the editor of The Reflector, Mr. Poe says he had an interesting, trip and enjoyed every moment of it. We are glad to have been among the friends he remembered during his absence, and appreciate copies of Japanese, Chinese and papers which he sent us. Of course we cannot read them, except the one from India, which is printed in Eng- but they are a curiosity. The Japanese paper has a circulation of which shows that they are reading people over there. of them want to come back. We know a man who sold out and moved away from Pitt county some years ago, who is now trying to buy a farm here so he can come back to Pitt. That is right, come back home to the best county in the State. A South Carolina school teacher whipped one of her pupils and the father of the child assaulted and cussed the teacher. He was con- and got a sentence of five years on the county chain-gang. Guess he will learn his lesson by the time the expires. -o This reminds us of a joke we once read on a housewife who weighed all articles as soon as they were de- livered at her home. The butchers and grocers found out what she was doing and the good woman learned that she could not get orders filled. Mr. W. F.

Anybody also knows that they are ideal roads, even under moderately dry conditions, and that in seasons of extreme wetness they are better than before the work was done on them. Formerly they were sand beds in dry weather and mud holes In wet weather. If they do now get muddy surface when excessive rains fall like in the last few days, is better to have good roads a part The Reflector will certainly be glad when it succeeds in hammering into the minds of the people the fact that Greenville needs more man- enterprises. The growth of our population is slow because people cannot afford to move to a town unless they can find some employment there. If there were started up in Greenville enterprises to give employment to an additional thousand people, the thousand people would be here in a very short time. Every ad- citizen helps the town that much. Pitt county will in a few months more have a new court house, one of the finest and most modernly con- in the state, and every of the county will be proud of it. The Reflector wants to say here and now that the honor of presiding over the first be held in this new court house should fall upon Judge Harry W. Whedbee, and we hope the matter will be taken up in time for the governor to make such an ex- change between judges as will per- this honor to come to him After noting that the London hotels are to charge a day during the coronation, the Greenville Re- declares that this our going, and our friends across the pond can take notice that we will not be Queer kind of friends Whichard must have, to expect him to bring his lunch and hire his own bed when he goes to see Dispatch.

Weather conditions will form no obstruction to Easter coming at the appointed time, and preparations for that event will go right along with the fair sex. Hence the importance of the advertiser not waiting on the weather to tell of his offerings. Senator Bailey gave a rapid fire illustration of the initiative, and recall. He took the resigning, referred it to the governor of his State, and then re- called it. Just as was predicted in advance, Editor W. C. Dowd, of the Charlotte News, made the right man as speaker of the house of representatives. That body has had no better speaker than he made.

Mexico certainly did have a scare over our troops mobilizing on the border. When Uncle Sam moves his fighting boys it is enough to make any of sit up and take notice.

The following from the Journal states The Landmark's there is a death in the county, the is glad to as a news matter the facts about the life and death of the individual.

And yet some people complain be- cause a paper does not burden its columns with such things free of charge. It is remarkable what things papers are sometimes asked to print, things that are usually of no interest at all except to the person sending them. It has not been many days since The Reflector received an on the death of a person that occurred four years ago.

We have officers here who do things, and it is not safe for some folks to come this way. Old man Cannon was game to the finish. He will be back in congress if not in the speaker's chair. He may get the chance to take some of his own medicine and see how it tastes. When man feels that one day in his home town is worth two days anywhere else, he is getting his at- on right. If we had Canada and Mexico both annexed, Sam would have a bin; sure enough, and one he would find hard to manage. Good roads, the Torrens land title system, and the commission form of municipal government are three things that must come. The ground hog may have it all his way now if he wants to. There will be some weather that will knock him out along about July. Wonder if there will be something to recall what happened to the Maine and subsequent events in this mob- of troops on the Mexican border. The best asset of a community are its men. But that does not include kickers, as they belong to another distinct class that brag. An exchange wants to know why should a man use profanity He should not use it at all, but does so in absence of anything better to say. The Wilmington Dispatch favors a commission form of government for North Carolina. Not a bad idea, either. The Washington Progress has just put in a new press and undergone a great improvement in enlarging to eight pages. The man who makes up his mind, whether or no, to be against good roads will pick up any excuse for an argument. Sure, the harem skirt will be at the sea shore, with the accent on the Dispatch. See Sure. Mr. Bryan says that the modern newspaper has lost much prestige and influence. And Mr. Bryan is editing a paper.

With congress and the legislature both quiet now folks might get down to work and make things count.

No, you don't have to go out and hunt for mud, it comes to the door. But still it will not stay long. The umpire is dressing his hide preparatory to the cussing that is coming his way. Mr. Bryan has been to see Gov- Wilson. Wonder what he thinks of him The legislature had about the usual ending with merriment, songs and speech making. The man with a good job indoors ought to appreciate it this kind of weather. Greenville just will lead. Even our mud is up with any of them. Chickens did not follow eggs in the downward price. Woodrow Wilson is growing as a presidential possibility. The store that does not advertise is in the cold store-age. Do not call it spring yet, it is any- thing else. The Blade and the Ear.

It thinks under the circumstances that there should have been an appropriation for extension and improve as well as tor maintenance and support. We cannot fail to recognize the naturalness of The Reflector's but none the less we counsel patience on its part. The entire state finds cause for great in the work which is being ac- at the Greenville but its progress, owing to the necessities of the case, must and will be gradual. While the people are thoroughly alive to the of education, the de- for money in this direction are already very large. The the A. M.

That it could not do much more for all is certainly a mat- of regret, but the state's income can not be handled as if it were made of rubber and indefinitely tic. The Eastern Carolina Training School has more than justified its establishment. Not only are its reg- courses proving valuable but the summer months are being used for normal training that must make felt in the public schools during the years immediately before us. The energy and intelligence which have been displayed in its inception are excellent guarantees that this standard will be maintained. and improvements will come not as fast as they might be utilized, but none the less surely. To come into its own in the fullest sense the young school has but to manifest a willingness to do first-class work with what equipment it possesses. This willingness is and has been in evidence.

Whither Are We Drifting The citizens of the United States are witnessing a spectacle perhaps never before seen in modern times. The chief executive calls the nation to arms and leaves on a vacation, His secretary of state also goes on a pleasure tour and the assistant to the secretary is preparing to away from the capital. And to add to the gravity of the situation, it is stated that the chief executive and his secretary are at outs calling the army into the field, the former acting in the matter without the ad- vice of the letter.

Some time ago, I saw an article in Confederate from the author of this book, whose post office address I learned was Cumberland. Md. I thereupon wrote him to if I could get another copy from him as some friends had borrowed and neglected to return mine, and in answer, he told me that the book was now out of print, and that he had been treated very shabbily by the publishers, who only had derived revenue from the publication of the book, but that he would endeavor to secure a copy for me. which he did, and I received it a few days ago. The book is written in a highly attractive style, and portrays the manners and customs, and depicts the scenes of the old plantation life in the South before the war. A few years after I had read this book the first time and became so much pressed with its characters and the beautiful imagery of the times, writ- ten In the matchless style that only one who has lived amid such scenes can write, I happened to visit the section in which the farm, the model from which Old was written In Onslow county. As I drove down the road so minutely de- scribed in this book, on each side of me, as far as I could see, extended a level plateau or table land, as fine farming land as I have ever seen. On each side of the roadway before the war, there was a very thick row of cedars, so thickly set that at mid- day the roadway was almost entirely obscured of so dense was the shade. The original plantation contained something over acres, and while today it has been cut up, and is owned by many yet, the passer-by will witness many evidences of the splendor, ex- tent and magnitude of Old Plantation No true Southern- can read the book without feel- a deeper interest and kindlier feeling for his country, and for civilization which must have been one of most enchanting, delightful and fascinating ever lived on earth, and the like of which will probably never be witnessed again.

Pour out as many sacks of each as your room will allow. I usually get under a good size shelter with hard bottom. Have three hands in order to do the work properly. Let two of them have shovels and stand directly op- each other and shovel the mix- to a new pile two or three feet from where it was first poured out, each man being strictly required to pour his shovel full right on the pinnacle of the pile to which they are moving it. In this way all little clods and knots will roll down the side of the pile to the bottom when the third man can see them and crush them with the back of a shovel or hoe. Now and then the others can help him keep up with clod crush- Two movings in this way will give a splendidly mixed fertilizer, especially as it will then have to be put into the sacks again. While writing about mixing I will also give a little opinion of some men about acid. You may talk to them about acid mean acid phosphate, of and they will say it it no account, that tried it and got no benefit from it. Yet they will buy guano with per cent, acid, per cent ammonia, and per cent potash and think it all right. Don't know that there is four times as much acid in that mix- as there is ammonia of potash. There is a crying need for a more general information on this subject. Dead oodles of money are thrown away for guano for want of knowing anything about it. W. A.

Those v BO braved the inclemency were more than repaid for going for the plays were truly delightful and faultlessly rendered. The Reflector has print- ed the cast of characters in these plays, so will not repeat them now. The first play a comedy in one act, was rendered by Misses Jennie Williams, Lillie Tucker, Louse Fleming. Mary Wood- bum, Essie Ellington, High- smith and Juanita Dixon. They were well chosen for their res- parts. A lost purse con- money and rings, which was supposed to have been stolen by a kleptomaniac, created a great stir and confusion, which was relieved upon finding the purse in the cloak pocket of the owner, the discovery being made by one of the guests who put on the wrong cloak when about to take her departure The second play was a farce, Proposal Under by Misses Pattie Grace Bishop, Lillian Carr and Mattie sell. From beginning to end this kept the audience almost convulsed with laughter over the ludicrous situations of two boys being in love with and trying to make love to the same girl at the same time, the dis- of one being increased by the young lady's maid who came in while he was rehearsing his before a mirror and thought he was making love to her. The entire performance brought credit to every one participating in it, as will as to the school, and a are to be congratulated. The weather keeping so many . cf the town people from getting over to see the play, they missed a great deal, and The Reflector believes they would appreciate another of seeing it. We know the pupils of the school are very busy with their work, but think they might be induced to repeat the plays one night this week if the people cf the town express a desire to that effect. The plays wore so excellent as to be more than worth the effort to go them repeated. The Right Place to The business man who neglects to promote his business by means of an advertisement in The Reflector, is certainly missing an opportunity. This paper is read eagerly every day by its more than twelve hundred sub- as well as by other members of their families, to say nothing of the additional large number of rowers. In fact every person who can get a hand on the paper reads It, not only the news but also the advertisements, and it is the place where business announcements should be placed to be read. Some men make a lot of money by selling other people money secrets.

Clancy has announced his intention to try to de- a team that can win by its hit- ting and base running, things that he says win the majority of college games. The first round of the debate between Carolina, Virginia, Tulane and Georgia will come off this spring, probably on April The question is the nation- income tax. Each college will de- bate both sides of the query. Carolina has the negative against Virginia and the affirmative against her time hon- enemy, Georgia. Carolina won from both Georgia and last spring and from the University of Pennsylvania last fall. A strong crowd has entered for the nary contest that will be held this week and the prospects are that Carolina will be able to keep to the high standard that she has during the last ten years. The basket ball team closed its season with a close game on floor Wednesday night. and everybody interested in the outcome expected Virginia to win by a heavy lead. The score was only to Carolina came back in the second half and scored nine points to Virginia's This was the first basket ball team that has ever rep- resented the University and their work is regarded as having been highly successful.

An important discovery in the field of wireless telegraphy by Marconi, as the result of experiments during a voyage to Argentina, is at- attention in the scientific press of the world. An official of the Marconi Wireless Telegraph Corn- pan- states in London Engineering that the results point to the of the system as being now beyond limit. Mr. Marconi took with him on his voyage a receiving instrument and a kite and made for the transmission to the ship of messages from the at Ireland, and Bay Nova Scotia. The kite was flown by means very long wire, the inventor receiving messages by this means from a distance of over miles in the daytime. But for the fact that a storm arose and made the flying of the kite impossible, mes- sages could have been received at an even greater distance. The transmission and reception of a message at such a distance easily constitutes a record, according to our technical contemporary, and the value of the result is considerably enhanced by the fact that it was attained the daytime. Hitherto, for some reason which has not been fathomed, it has been found possible to trans- messages at much greater dis- by night than by day. Al- most invariably the long-distance messages regarded as record-breaking from the point of view of distance have been transmitted by night. In- deed, so great have been the dis- traversed by night at times that they have come to be known as The sending of a receiving wire to a much greater by means of a kite will, it is relieved, take the instrument far above those influences which inter- with the electric waves, in ad- to telegraphing at any distance REPORT OF THE CONDITION OF THE BANK OF FARMVILLE FARMVILLE, N.

You can make that one little room the perfection of all that is worth living for, a quiet harbor to which a husband will turn feeling that he has run out the storms of his day's work into the security of something that is real. We are not all born with the sun- shine in our hearts as the Irish prettily term it, but we can all coax some of it in there if we only try. The faculty of seeing bright side, or, at least the edges of that side, is one that married people might cultivate with profit to each other. Courtesy is of more value in the home than many believe it to be.

On this trip I have seen river valley after river valley, . once rich and productive, but now be- come an of desolations covered over with unnumbered tons of sand and stone brought down from the treeless mountain sides. While the peaks were forest-clear, they held the rain-water like sponges, giving it out slowly from the decaying leaves, humus, and well-soaked soil.
