mm THE SOIL. What Constitutes What Does the Term Mean to You I What is soil fertility What does the term mean to What is your standard of measurement What are the conditions or factors which con- or constitute soil fertility It appears that, to some, the of the so-called plant foods, gen, potash and phosphoric acid, which are applied to or contained in the land, is the most important tor in measuring the fertility of pro- power of a soil. To others tho proper amount of humus, or de- organic matter In a soil, is tho measure of its fertility, or at least, is the first essential of soil fertility. Still others believe that till- age determines more largely than any other factor the productive ca- of soils. And still others, even certain scientists and investigators have claimed that soil fertility is most entirely a question a proper supply of moisture in the soil, pendent of its chemical composition, as this chemical composition effects its power to furnish a proper water supply. That all soils contain sufficient plant foods for the production of large crops, or that the supply of water is the sole measure of soil fertility, will be accepted by few; but if any one factor could be singled out as the most important in the fertility of any soil, it would certainly be tho one of a proper sup- ply of The lesson which must first be learned Is, that soil Is dependent upon many different factors, and that if we neglect any one of tho factors, or if we greatly exaggerate another, we shall most likely fall short of that grasp of the subject necessary to the best soil management. If we admit that good tillage, plant foods, organic decay and bacterial life and a properly lated supply of moisture are all es- to large crop production, or maximum soil fertility, it is not quite proper or accurate to state that any one of these is, in the true sense, the most important; but since all others of these are more or less dependent upon one, water, it may be placed first in consideration. Most soils contain much more plant foods than would be required to pro- duce scores of maximum crops; but these are useless for crop production until dissolved in the soil water. Or- matter decays through rial activities, which break down and render soluble plant foods in the soil; but one equally important function of decaying organic matter In the soils water supply, if, then, sufficient plant foods in the soil, decaying or- matter and a proper water sup- ply are the three most important tors in soil fertility, it is entirely proper to place the water supply as first In importance. Organic matter would be placed because its decay tends to render the plant foods already in the soil available to crops and to regulate the water supply in which the plant foods are dissolved and carried to the growing plants. These, then, are our To control the water supply by drain- the introduction of organic Wilier, and to furnish soluble plan roods by introducing organic which In its decay will sup- ply substances to dissolve the plant foods already in the soil, and by the addition of other supplies of plant foods in commercial fertilizers.

C, FRIDAY, MARCH 1911. Number The Great Value of Neighborhood Co-Operation J. Farmville, N. C, March-28, 1911. There is a small island off the coast of England which is famous and pros- beyond most islands, and this fame and prosperity is attributed to co-operation among its inhabitants in the raising of one specific breed of cattle. These cattle are widely dis- in the United States and fabulous prices have been obtained by the islanders for superior mens of the breed. By this they have produced a breed of cattle par excellence for butter. I of course refer to the island of Jersey. The people over in Virginia in the vicinity of a small place named Smithfield, have by working together produced a superior ham and now all that they have are sold in the mar- for from three to five cents per pound above any other ham. Troy, New York, owes its pros- to co-operation among its in manufacturing linen collars. If this little island has derived such great benefit from this spirit of co- operation only, cannot other com- do the same thing What has been done can be done provided the same or similar exist or may be caused ex- Whatever one can do himself well is best done by himself, but whatever the neighborhood can do best should be done by the neighbors co-operating together. I will suggest some things in which I think it profitable if those re- siding in the same vicinity should all do alike. First, there should be a gathering at the public school house and the majority should rule, due regard being shown to the dice of those who are the most con- Having decided that the Berkshire hogs are the best for said community, then every one should raise Berk- shire hogs who raises hogs. Soon some one would have some fine mens for sale and might a handsome profit. Whenever the neighborhood pro- more than it could consume, then one advertisement could answer for all, thereby saving quite a little sum, besides only the best specimens would be sold which would add pres- to the neighborhood. Then there would be competition, each one would strive to have nicer hogs and raise them cheaper. They would soon be more gent hog raisers. All having the same kind would create an just as planting prolific corn has enthused the boys. Then this rivalry would soon create a neighborhood spirit and each one would be proud of his neighborhood and strive to make it the very best neighborhood in the county. One man could take the stock to the fairs and all would share the bur- den and help reap the benefits. In the course of time the neighborhood would have a statewide reputation, and if the neighbors were sufficiently energetic eventually they would have a national We have been wasting our by being selfish. What I have written of hogs would apply equally to chickens, cattle and sheep and in a measure to coin and cotton. I am myself ready to enter into such an agreement and if my mediate neighbors don't just now see as f do, I will join any ton in the county and let all agree to raise some kind of corn and cotton and breed the same class of cattle and hogs. I would like to hear from others on this line. Cost of Production nil Important In Farming. European farmers work upon the principle of making the cost of pro- the essential thing. The America farmer generally speaking. has not looked to this matter, look- to an immense acreage to cover up any deficiency of production, based upon acreage basis. Limited acreage has naturally developed the European to practice an intensive farming through necessity, this work- to an advantage. Every cent had to count in this kind of limited cultivation, the dollar going into the cost of production had to be more than realized in the farm's returns, so that every foot cultivated is oped in the highest degree, for fail- meant disaster. All this has produced an extreme economical farm much in contrast to the American prodigality. Take the potato crop, with its average of bushels per acre in this country. The farmer raising bushels boasts of his skill But take the limited area in England the farmer there often raises bushels, while in Belgium 1,600 bushels are raised. The American farm waste has ways been large, because of the very bountifulness of our soils, and the cheapness of the land. The increase in land values is working a benefit, in breaking up the large farms, and the smaller farms are receiving attention and being cultivated with the money cost an essential factor. With intensive farming, which conies with the small farm, the agricultural products of this country will increase to a vast ex- tent in value, for there will be a great caving In the cost of production Journal. THE COMMITTEE NAKED Commerce Treaty Signed. March of com- between Japan and the United States was ratified today by the privy Council. The signed treaty will be exchanged April Com mil tee Will Meet Friday, st, to Arrange Details. The arrangements for the of the Corn Club in this county have about been completed. Committees have been appointed to have charge of and encourage certain features of the work which has been assigned to each committee. These committees are earnestly urged to push the work so that we may make it a great year for corn raising in the county. It is important that the names of boys who will enter the contest be sent to W. H. Greenville, The plan no is to offer township prizes as well as county prizes, and in consequence every township the county ought to have a number of boys in the contest. It is probable that when the committee meets to arrange the details and an- the prizes that it will be that a certain number of. boys in each township shall enter the con- test in that township, or the town- ship prise will not be offered.

Clark went to arrest Will a White mail, who lives on the south- limits Of the town, and shewed so much resistance that the officer found ii necessary to shoot him. About o'clock Sunday morning a neighbor of Griffin's went to the home of Policeman Clark and told him bad beaten his wife and run her away from home, and was threatening further violence toward her. Officer Clark told the man to find Policeman who was then on duty. Policeman went out to the scene, found all quiet then, and not having a warrant con- not to wake the mayor at that time of night to get one, so did not arrest Griffin. Sunday afternoon word came down Griffin was raising trouble again, when Officer Clark procured a warrant and went out to arrest him. He found but the latter refused come down town with the officer. They had a in which officer showed his gun, when Griffin changed his mind and said be would come. They started on to- and after walking a short dis- became obstinate again and said he would die before lie would submit to the arrest, Officer Clark grappled with him again and had to shoot Griffin in the leg before bring- him under submission.

Lovers of green tea will be dis- tressed to learn that after March they will find it impossible to pro- cure their favorite beverage in this county. The government's has, after careful consider- decided that the artificial col- of is injurious to health, and that, therefore, its further is unlawful and must be topped. The order will not go in- to effect until May because that is the time when the new crop begins to come in, and to have enforced it earlier might have worked consider- able hardships to those taken by prise with importations on the way. Definite notice is given now, however, and importers will hereafter attempt to import artificially colored tea at peril. The decision is expected to have a far-reaching effect, especially on the commerce of Japan, which exports artificially colored tea in large The United States imports proximately 115,000.000 pounds of tea a year, and the proportion artificially colored Is roughly estimated at not less than half. It Is assumed that a large number of the tea producers of Japan will be compelled materially to alter their methods to meet the new treasury York WATCHMAN'S AC HE H POUNDED, Found His Pantry Entered And Studied instead of Emptied.

Nothing touches the local pride of the citizens more than to use pro- ducts made in The reason progress and prosperity of Atlanta is thus made plain by what the Journal says. That spirit has made Atlanta, but it is nothing now to the business men and people of that city. To our own knowledge that was policy years ago and probably It dates further back than that. Atlanta merchants prefer goods manufactured in Atlanta and Atlanta people prefer to buy Atlanta made goods. A manufacturer who opens an establishment in Atlanta is just as sure to be patronized the sun will rise, for Atlanta's business men will give him their orders and push his goods.

John Calvin of Robeson county, North Carolina, of the class of 1840 of the University of North Carolina, died in Scotland, some fifty years ago, while to be a Presbyterian preacher. At the time there was thought to be a conflict between science and religion. Nair left some property to the which was to be used in es- an annual series of before the students of the the purpose of which was to show mutual bearing of science and religion on each other and prove the existence far as may of God in Today, said Dr. able, the world has come to recognize that there can be no conflict between truth wherever found. The fund for the lectureship became available in 1908. The men who have delivered the lectures before Dr. VanDyke are Dr. Francis H. Smith, of the of Virginia; President Fran- L. Patton, of the Princeton Theo- logical Seminary, and President David Starr Jordan, of Stanford, University. In his opening lecture Dr. VanDyke declared that the aim of poetry is to impart pleasure through the that must not be a mere amusement but a vital joy, en- the thoughts, deepening the emotion, and ennobling the life of man. A man's worth is measured not by his money as America is coming to think, but by the wealth of his mind and heart. Dr. VanDyke stated that his three lectures were to treat of three of the ways In which the inner life of mankind had been enriched by the In inspiring in and deepening in man a love of his native land which properly cultured would reach its full attainment in a spirit of u world democracy, in the brother- hood of man; second, in drawing man to a love of nature for the beau- ties of her external aspects Which would culminate in worship of the God that moves In all nature; third, through his feelings bringing him closer to the unseen world, to which man cannot approach by but through his heart alone, Dr. lectures were less than prose poems.

Jeffry, in Progressive Farmer. By Circulars. The Journal voices once more the complaint against the of attaining publicity by means of the distribution of booklets and circulars. No city can possibly be a city beautiful, according to its way of thinking, as long as tons and tons of waste paper are scattered every year on the streets and in the yards upon whose appear- the beauty so much desired de- pends. To the circular and booklet method of advertising in itself no par objection is to be raised. If the advertiser finds that such an in- vestment brings returns, his selection of it is justified from the business viewpoint. It is the litter which ac- companies the method that the ice. and in not a few instances is of such magnitude as to demand the abolition of the practice. In this day of deadly com- petition, when every penny invested must produce its result, the fact that the circular closely resembles a load of shot in taking effect offers the brightest hope for its relegation to the rear. The average boy, as The Journal points out, does not his circulars; he merely scat- them. Logically there must be an enormous proportion of the paper and say nothing of the to prepare the absolutely and irretrievably wasted. When advertisers figure this proportion down the ad- vantage derived from the that are read., circular distribution will die a quick death. And thus will the city beautiful be brought a step nearer.

FORBES, ROAD WORK IN NORTH CAROLINA DURING 1910 MEX ARE GETTING MILES SPECIALLY SURFACED. Too Much of Dirt Road Improved Yet. In obtaining statistics regarding the public road work in North the counties but one have made re- ports and the figures given below are based on these reports. During the year 1910 the number of miles of road reported as built during that year was Va miles macadam, miles of tar macadam, 1-2 miles of sand-clay and miles of gravel, this makes a total of miles of road that were specially surfaced during 1910. The total mileage of faced roads in the State is miles, of which miles are macadam, 1,344 1-2 are sand-clay and 1,528 are gravel. Besides the Toads that are surfaced there were miles of dirt road that were graded and crowned. There are in the State as reported by the various counties miles of public road, of which miles have been improved, leaving miles that have not been specially surfaced or made into any kind of permanent road, and it will be possible for a great many years yet to surface these roads. Thus it is es- in the good roads work that provision be made for maintaining and keeping up the dirt road in first class condition by having these roads properly graded, free from stumps and rocks, and kept smooth and hard by a diligent use of the split log drag. This little machine will enable any county to maintain its dirt roads in first class condition at a very small expense. By having therefore, the main highways surfaced with dam, sand-clay or other satisfactory material, and the dirt roads connect- with these kept well graded and smooth, will give a first class system of good roads throughout any county. At the present time, however, we have altogether too great a mileage of dirt roads that are not well graded and the road bed is too frequently filled with rocks, stumps and holes. During the past several years counties have begun active work in road building, either by the issuance of county or township bonds. The bonds issued to January 1st, 1911 amount to while those sold amount to Sixty-five ties have issued a special tax, either as a county or township tax for roads, the total amount of this during 1910 being Of this tax 568.07 was expended by the county and expended by the counties have a certain per of the poll tax appropriated for road purposes.

Iredell county will soon vote on the question issuing bonds to the amount of to build good roads in that county. Sonic time this year Greenville township is to vote on the question of issuing bonds to the amount of to build good roads In this Both of these . are along practically the same lines, about the only difference being that one applies to a whole county and the other only to a single township, hence what is said in argument for or against in one instance applies most as Well in the other. Therefore the following article appearing in the last issue of the Statesville Land- mark, with some words of local plication left out here and there, fits township as well as it does Iredell county. The Landmark The Important fact should not be overlooked that a vote for the road bonds is also a vote for working the roads by taxation. The bond which is to accepted or rejected by the voters, provides for working the roads by taxation, and if the bond proposition accepted the old sys- of working the roads will pass. The plan is antiquated, of no value so far as permanent benefit is concerned, and yet every male of the of the age of years to is liable to road duty six cays in the year. While the work done on the roads is; usually of little value, it takes the time of men who are often busy on their farms, and at the present price of labor three or four days put in at road work will amount to enough to more than pay the road tax of many of the road workers. This is a view of the Load proposition that should tot Le overlooked. Of course will not reads on all the public loads in lie County. bus claimed, and nobody will. The plan the leading roads, in good condition and thereafter maintain them and to work the other public roads by such methods as may be adopted. Some voters have asked if all the public roads outside the main will be abandoned. Not at all. Another matter; Some of the who are industriously searching for excuses to oppose the bond issue have suggested that while the road bill does not provide for an increase in taxes, that taxes will be increased by increasing property assessment. Of course property assessment will be increased. It would have been in- creased if the bond issue had never been heard of, and it will be increased if the bonds are not voted. Every intelligent citizen who reads the pa- knows that tax assessments in- crease every year, and the increase is regarded as a sign of progress. If, when property is listed for taxation there should be no increase over the previous year, or a decrease was shown, it would prove that the of the county had either made no progress or were going backward, and the publication of such a fact would be the worst possible any community or county could have. The statement that valuable prop- shows an increase every year doesn't apply to real estate for a general assessment of real estate is made only once in four years. This year is the regular time for the re- assessment of real estate and this fact should mean a very material increase, for no intelligent citizen will contend that land has not very materially increased in value the past few years. Of course there will be a general increase in the assessment for tax- this year, because values have increased and the increase in taxable value is proper. But the increase has nothing to do with the bond issue; the increase will be made whether the bonds are voted or not; and if the bonds fail you will go on paying the same tax as if they had carried, you will have to work the roads as now if you are liable to road duty, but you may have to wait a long time for a good road to be built in your neighborhood, for under the present system the process of build- roads is slow. in excess of pounds. The cost to handle newspapers in the mails is nothing like the cost of handling magazines. The contention of the magazines that this proposed small increase of postage on their ad- pages would their cannot be supported by facts. It is well known the magazines charge enormous rates for running up into the hundreds and thousands of dollars for a page in a single issue, and if any class of publications can afford to pay more postage it is certainly the Newspapers are publications of gen- information and education to the public, and for that reason the gov- handles them at a low rate of postage, while the magazines have no news features, but their reading matter is mainly stories and pictorial matter intended for entertainment and not for information, and they are made up largely of advertising pages. It would be no more to carry novels and other books through the mails at second- class rates than it is to carry some of the magazines, for. the latter are books and not newspapers. Carry- the magazines at a loss of a year, as the post office de- shows by its figures, is simply giving them that much sub- The Carolina Home and Farm and The Eastern Reflector. has ever offered to these men in North Carolina before this.

On another page of this issue of The Reflector we are reprinting bodily an article taken from the Merchants Journal and Commerce, which comes regularly to a great many of our retail merchants, for whom it would be well if they read and carry out some of the many help- money-making suggestions of- through its columns every month. This article seems to fit con- in Greenville so well that we offer it to our readers in the hope that it will reach the eyes of some of our merchants who have not read and that it will influence who have read it heretofore to ponder the suggestions, and adopt them to their needs. TEACHERS COURSE AT SCHOOL -o- GENERAL IS RIGHT The Reflector is not able to see the justness of the contentions of the magazines of the country against the proposition of the postmaster general to slightly increase the rate of postage charged for transmitting magazines through the mails. After reading much on both sides of the Question we have come to the con- that the postmaster general s right. The government carries the institution.

This is shown by the fact that the course offered for a spring term to teachers, which began last week, is filled to the utmost capacity of the school, and a large number of teachers had to be written that they could not be accommodated. The planning and the execution of this work is remarkable. The course began on Tuesday morning, March 14th, and the class was on recitation the second period. Only one period was missed in the organization of the work. President Wright is showing mark- ed ability in the power to plan wisely and well, and to execute his plans minutely and readily so that every- thing shall move smoothly and to every one connected with Buy at home. That is the slogan. Make your dollar a nimble dollar. Keep a string tied to it so it will come back to you. Your home store will pay it out to home labor. The foreign store will pay it out to for- labor. The home labor buys more home products, your own prob- ably, so the chain is a short one. The community which keeps its traveling rapidly in its own circles is making the most profit on those Post. This is good advice along the right line. It might have gone further and said that the business man should also keep his money at home when it comes to printing. Money paid to the home printer goes back to the merchant in a short time. what is termed second-class matter through the mails at a heavy loss, and this loss is largely the magazines. The government is car- these magazines for cent a pound while the cost for doing so is cents a pound, yet the proposed in- crease in charge was only placed at cents cents below and even that lute to apply only to the Using sections of the Applications are coming in daily for the summer term which begins June 0th. Teachers wishing rooms in the dormitories had better apply early. Dr. Strayer, of the College, of New York, will be present during the first month of this summer term, and a large of city superintendents and high school principals will take this What is this brewing in Raleigh now A dispatch sent out from that city says that there are persistent re- ports of an early meeting, either at Raleigh or Greensboro, of progressive Democrats from all parts of the State, for the purpose of putting in the field a candidate for the United States senate against both mons and Kitchin. Oh, the Raleigh politician You can't down a Confederate veteran as long there is breath left in him. Many of the old boys in Texas asked to be allowed to join the soldiers on the Mexican frontier and take a hand in the fighting if there is any to be done. We bet they could learn lessons in fighting to the young fellows, too. Our good friend Archibald John- son, of Charity and Children, says the present and limitless speaking of hats, are a and a As a snare they catch many a pretty feminine face, and many a male is caught Sun. . . Be easy, Jim, and tell us when you given by him. No such caught under one. These fellows can't stay away. They pull out and leave North Caro- now and then to West or somewhere else, but bye and bye they are ready enough to come back. There was H. E. C. one of the finest newspaper men in the state, went and hied him- self away out in Montana to do pencil stunts out there. But it was no rather, no stay. The call to got too strong for and he come. That is just what every other absent down in the heart North Carolinian ought to do. We hate to see our brainiest and best devoting their energies to the of other stales when the old home needs them so much. There would be less of this going away, too, North Carolina showed the proper appreciation for her Many an ambitious young man is made to feel that he is not given a fair show at home. It is perhaps as much true in North Caro- as any place In the world that prophet is not without honor save in his own NEED OF A. PARK. The Durham Sun is trying to upon its city to buy the old court house site there and convert it into a park, and argues how, from every standpoint it would pay the city to do so. Durham is many times larger than Greenville, yet as the years went by has neglected the matter of making provision for a park of pub- play ground until now the filly of such neglect is very evident. We have tried time and time again to make such an impression upon the minds of the people of Greenville, but they go right on neglecting it, yet some day will realize their mis- take. HOME FOLKS MUST ACT. A Greensboro has invented a new one. He threw a beer bottle at his sweetheart, which she dodged and the tale he told the magistrate was that he just did it playfully in an effort to knock out a tooth that was aching and hurting her. The magistrate did not think Jim had to extract teeth that way. so let him go out to work thirty days on the roads. A doctor in Greensboro, the home of several insurance companies, lost his house and all contents by fire without a cent of insurance. Either he was a hard proposition on the question of insurance, or the com- failed to work their home properly. The man who car- no insurance at all takes even greater risk than the one who hides his money around the house instead of putting it in a bank. Greenville is a good town, but that fact alone is not going to make If the business men want trade, they must do something to get it. People do not go to a town to trade just for sentiment, but go where the best inducements are offered them. Grenville is in position to offer in- but this day and time people must be shown. The report is that Roosevelt is paying his own railroad fare on his present junket. Maybe the railroads will not carry him on credit any more, as there is no chance to send the bill to the government in the event he did not pay. Humph No for your Its too much a come down to fit his highness. His party being defeated and losing him out of the speakership want him to take the minority leader- ship, but no This is the day of good trade pa- and magazines. Do you sub- scribe for and read yours If you do not, you are losing a great deal that will help you to make a in your business. President Taft called the Japanese ambassador in conference to assure him that the mobilization of United States troops on the Mexican border was intended as no affront of Japan. If you buy ground in Greenville there need be no fear that you will have to sell it at less than it cost you. Property here is a safe invest- The executive committee of the North Carolina Press Association has selected Lenoir as the place for the next annual meeting, and June 20th the date. The association met in Lenoir in 1889, and after a delightful session there a trip to Blowing Rock followed. Much pleasure is promised at the coming meeting and there will no doubt be a large attendance. -o If you wait for the other fellow to come in and build up the town, you are likely to keep on waiting. The old saying is that things come to him who but Green- ville has waited long enough. It is time for the home folks to quit wait- and get active themselves. If the town is to have manufacturing en- the home folks must go them. Outsiders are not going to bring them to us unsolicited. The Raleigh News and Observer, following its bent, did the state a good service in the legislative issued Tuesday. Besides the regular paper with more pages than usual, there was a magazine section of pages giving a review of the work done by the recent legislature and a synopsis of all the acts passed by that body. It is tho best about the legislature that has come from any quarter. We guess the battleship gunners could pour hot shot into the Texas and punch it to pieces. The poor old thing had nothing to do but lie still and take it, with nothing but cats and chickens for defense. Had it been a ship that was returning shot for shot there might have been something doing. Ever since concrete sidewalks were laid on certain streets of Greenville, there have been park strips between the walk way and the curb line. But so far nothing has been done toward beautifying those park strips, though to do so, even to sow them in grass, would much to the appearance of the streets. New York is grossly negligent of the safety of her citizens. We do not believe there is another city in the world in which so many people lose their lives in fires. Many buildings in that city are veritable fire traps. The secretary of commerce and labor says the supply of coal is enough to last years. No to worry then, as we will not need any by the time that is gone. Mt. Olive Tribune,, a bright and newsy weekly paper, and one that works earnestly for its town and section, has entered its eighth year. There will be a mayor and some aldermen to elect in Greenville the first Monday in June, and this far ahead some mouths are beginning to water. The split log drag continues to miss some of its best opportunities. that new pair of mules will help the drag to get busy oftener on the streets. Greenville loses citizens some time because they can find nothing here to do. Another argument that the town needs more manufacturing en- One man before he had lived here a month, said he had caught the spirit and gone to boosting for Green- ville. That is the kind we like to have. Asheville followed Raleigh's ex- ample and defeated the commission form, of government, but by a very small majority. The post office department is to curtail the work at post offices on Sundays as far as practical. That is a step in right direction. According to the calendar spring is here, but it is best not to crow too much until you sec what the weather is going to do. This thing of express shipments staying hung up in New York is get- ting monotonous to people who send there for things. If you order anything from New York now, you wait any kind of time to get it. The express strike keeps shipments tied up. The hobble skirt may have been fashionable in the days of of Egypt, but that is no reason why it should be now. If the girls just will adopt the ha- rem skirt anyhow, maybe the boys can even up by taking to bloomers. The Charlotte News advises to take off. Not yet, if you know what's good for you. ---------o See if you can make tomorrow bet- than you did today. That is the way to keep going forward. After they place the blame for that New York holocaust, even if they succeed, what will it amount to If Eastern North Carolina had the good roads it ought to have, it would be the garden spot of the world. Raleigh may redeem herself some- what in the campaign to raise for a Y. M. C. A. building. Some people have a way of re- acts of friendliness. do not.

VS DAVENPORT. the Makes Valid a Contract tor Future of Cotton A case of much interest was de- in the Superior court here Thursday, in that it showed the validity of contracts made for the future delivery of cotton. As much of this kind of business has been done by and cotton dealers throughout the cotton growing belt, it makes cases of this kind of more than local interest, as it will have a general hearing. The case tried Thursday was a suit brought by Messrs Bros, against Mr. J. R. Davenport, arising out of failure to deliver cotton on a contract made between them. That the case was strongly and ably con- tested is shown by the array of on the opposing sides, the plaintiff being represented by Messrs Moore and Long, of Greenville, and Jacob Battle, of Rocky Mount, and the defense by Messrs. F. G. James Son. of Greenville and ex- Judge R. W. W. of Raleigh. The contention of the plaintiff to the action was that in the spring of 1909 they entered into contract with the defendant for bales of cotton to be delivered during the month of November in the same year at the stipulated price of cents per pound, basis middling. When the time came for the delivery of the cotton, it was then selling at 1-2 cents per pound and defendant declined to make delivery in accordance with terms of the contract. The contention of the defendant was that the contract was only a gambling deal on cotton futures, hence was not valid and did not bind him to make actual delivery of the cotton. Every detail of the contract was gone into fully in the trial and the case was fought warmly on both sides. When the case was given to the jury they were only a short while in reaching a decision on the issues in- Their verdict in substance was that it was the intention of the plaintiff to receive the cotton and the intention of the defendant to deliver the cotton at the time the contract was entered into and signed, and therefore judgment was rendered in favor of the plaintiff for the difference in the price of bales of cotton at cents as contracted for and the selling price at the time it should have been delivered, with interest from Dec. 1st, 1909.

It North Carolina Will Go Forward In Good Roads Building. State Geologist Joseph Hyde Pratt recently Issued some good roads figures to which it may be profitable to devote special attention. During 1910 the total mileage in North Caro- which was specially surfaced sand-clay, gravel and macadam In- eluded amounted to miles. Adding the mileage reported from the various counties, there are in this state miles of public road, of which miles have been improved. This leaves more than miles still lacking permanent improvement. At the rate of miles a year it will require in the neighborhood of half a century to complete the task which the good roads enthusiasts have set them- selves. Such a reflection would be some- what discouraging were it not for the fact that the figures quoted do not by any means tell the whole story. No one conversant with the situation believes that North Carolina will have to wait anything like fifty years for a State-wide system of good roads. In the first place, there are thousands of miles of roads which need only the persistent and gent use of the split-log drag to put them in excellent condition consider- the amount of traffic passing over them. little says Dr. Pratt, enable any county to maintain its dirt roads in first-class condition at very small ex- Under the circumstances the rapid spread of knowledge and of the split-log drag is of first importance to the good roads cause. County after county is taking it up, and when its use shall have become uniform the period of fifty years referred to will have been ma-, reduced. Again, no one believes that miles is the best North Carolina can do in the way of annual road build- The movement is still young and much of the hard work of former years has not yet borne fruit. A little later the annual mileage built will increase by leaps and bounds.

Too Low In Both States. North Carolina land is for taxation at an average of an acre. From we know of the state the valuation is ridiculously low. Thus may be accounted for the fact that the annual revenues of the state have shown a deficiency against necessary expenditures. Nor does so low an assessment furnish an attractive advertisement for settlers from other sections We have not the figures at hand to the conditions in Virginia.

Agriculture Is the Most Useful, the Most Healthful, the Most Noble Employment of Washington. Volume GREENVILLE, N. C, FRIDAY, APRIL Hit Boys Corn Contest in Pitt County-Prizes will be Given The county committee composed of Messrs. W. H. A. J. J. P. Evans, R. L. Little and D. J. Whichard, having general supervision of the Corn for the con- test in Pitt county this year, met Fri- day afternoon in the office of Super- to look further into the details Of the It was decided to give township prizes, as well as general prizes, to the boys who make the best showing. The leading township prizes will be a trip to Washington City for one boy from each township. We can imagine nothing that should be more stimulus to the boys than this trip to the nation's capital, and certainly nothing that the county can do would be a better advertisement for the county. Prof. will go with the boys and have charge of them on the trip. It will be a great cation to the boys who win this trip. In order for a township to be in this trip to con- test, there must be not less than three boys in the township to enter the contest and the winning boy must make not less than bushels of corn on his acre. In all other respects the contest will be governed by the rules laid down by the agricultural de- for corn contests. In addition to the trip to Washing- ton, there will be several other prizes in every township, a prize committee consisting of Messrs. O. L. Joyner, B. M. Lewis, J. B. . H. G. Mum- ford and M. T. Spier, to have charge Of the classification of the other prizes, fuller particulars of which made later. Every boy in the county who is to be in the contest should send in his name to Prof. before April 15th. The following committees have so been appointed to look after the work in their respective Beaver G. T. Tyson. Ivey Smith, William R. A. Parker, D. C. Bar- row, D. J. Holland. S. M. Jones, J. J.

It is the duty of the township com- to interest the boys in their respective townships to enter the contest, and to solicit subscriptions in their township to send the win- boy in their township on the trip to Washington. The of each boy for the entire trip will be about People in the various townships who want to contribute other prizes can let this be known to the township committee who will report it to the prize committee Al- ready a large list of other prizes that have been offered is in the hands of the prize committee, and the outlook is that Pitt is going to have the most interesting corn growing contest of any county in the state. Remember that last no effort in that direction, the boys of Pitt county won more state diplomas for corn growing than any other county, nine of these diplomas coming to Pitt. This year the Union of the county has also offered a cash prize of to the boy who raises the most corn. This is a special prize and will not interfere with the same boy who wins that, getting a to Washington. It is proposed also after the crops are gathered next fall to have in Greenville a special day of exhibits of crops, stock, poultry, fruits dairy products, etc., in which all of the county will be asked to take part, and the farmers, both boys and men, should have an eye to getting their best products ready for this exhibit. It is going to be made a big day for Pitt county, and on that day the prizes in the corn grow- contest will be awarded. To get all the work for the contest fully arranged the township committees named above and the prize committee are asked to meet with the county committee in Green- ville on Friday, April 14th, at a. m. everyone of the committees come then and unite in helping to make this a great year in Pitt farming. Open-Air Schools. The old Greek custom of teaching children in the open air and of let- ting them sunshine along with knowledge is being revived in the United States. Since January 1907, sixty-five out-of-door schools have been established in this country, ac- cording to an announcement made in a recent bulletin Issued by the Na- Association for the study and prevention of tuberculosis. The original purpose of such schools was the care of children who have weak lungs or who are afflicted with tuberculosis, and in this par- field substantial good has been accomplished. It is not able, however, that eventually the open-air school will be employed for many other classes of weakly or even for robust children. Dr. Luther H. Gulick is quoted in the current issue of the Literary Di- as Two or more years ago, my was called to the astonishing and unfortunate condition of the throats and tonsils of school children and the number of children who had adenoids.
