ESCAPES FROM
HIS CRUEL MASTER
starts dot in world.
To Find The Fame in Dream
Visit From His
Hanrahan. N. C, July
slept the remainder of the night after
his enchanting dream, for the
that lie had taken from his angelic
hand seemed; to him as
real as did the life-giving fluid of in-
fancy that he had so often imbibed
from her breast as he lay In her
arms, unconsciously clewed at her
dress front and cunningly smiled
into her sweet face, before any
thought of sorrow or fear of storms
had crossed his mind. But the crow-
of the cocks, and the neighing of
the horses that he at break of day
must feed, aroused him and he raised
from his reclining place to realize
that what he had seen was only a
dream. But surely it must not be
deception. Yes, it was a messenger,
an omen. Call it what you may, to
him it was a signal that pointed him
to what he deemed his only hope. So
all that tried to work while
he planned for his escape from his
master. Near the close of the day,
as he stood on the bank of the Neuse
work was near by this he
saw near the edge a canoe floating
down the stream. With a pole he
pulled it to the bank and moored it
with a grape vine in a place he was
sure he could find in the darkness
of the night. At night fall he took
the horse to the house, and with his
daily routine finished he tried to
seem cheerful in order to cover any
suspicion of his intention to make his
escape. He made his shuck pallet in
the porch as was his custom, and
threw himself on it until all was
quiet within and then with no light
save the stars twinkling above, he
stole his way to the river, and to the
spot where he had fastened his lit-
boat. Carrying only a cross-bow
that his father had made him, and a
hatchet, that his mother had given
him, alone with the darkness and
weary he unfastened his boat. With
no pillow, save a square block of
wood, he stretched out his exhausted
form on the bottom of the boat as
she drifted on the bosom of that
somewhat swollen river. The night
passed, he knew not how. Morning
came and he found himself lodged on
the upper side of that horse-shoe
bend that the Neuse makes several
miles above Goldsboro. So hungry
and no supply of food to draw from,
he must in some way replenish the
inner man. Dire necessity, and
when hunger is gnawing at
our inmost vitals, will cause one to
create thoughts and investigate plans
that would have never been reached
or thought of under different
So he remembered his cross-
how which was but young
birch trees stood thick on the pen-
when finished, they hastened to this
raves of tar, leaving on the ground
a pone of corn bread, some
crackers and a hand full of
salt in a little cloth sack. With
eagerness he seized these and an oak
chunk with a live coal on one end.
Then he made his way back to his
boat. He had not long to stay there
before a squirrel crept out of a low
hollow and was playing on the ground
A beautiful sight it was, but hunger
forced Eugene to offer this innocent
beauty as a sacrifice on his altar.
So with his bow he shot an arrow
that pierced its playful heart. He
dressed and broiled it, and with part
of this and the bread he broke his
fast. After gathering up the
he loosed his boat from her
mooring again started down the
river.
Ere this strict search was being
made by the cruel master that he had
left. Men were employed by him
and sent east, west, north and south,
with the strict that if Eu-
gene could any where be found that
he be bound hand and foot and re-
turned to him. Strict search was
made, even among the rubbish of the
cow shed, and sheep fold, but no
of the missing boy. His foot-
steps had been traced part of the
way to the river and then were lost
because of the hard soil. The
pointed master made a trip of
miles to the neighborhood of Eu-
gene's old home, and then offered a
reward for the capture and return
of the boy. But Eugene had
this effort to capture him and
he was ever on the alert, though he
longed to get one glance at the
scenery of his earlier days.
Some chapters in any book must
necessarily be dull, but these lead
up to where the first rung of the
ladder that reaches to fame and use-
is reached. So here we leave
our hero floating down the river, but
we'll meet him again in a more beau-
and healthful place in our next.

A Sew Series of Twelve Games To
Begin Friday.
The first series of games of the
Coast Line League was completed
Tuesday, and the association held a
meeting In Grifton Tuesday night, to
arrange another series of twelve
games to begin Friday, 28th, two
games a week to be played in each
town.
Greenville won the pennant In the
first series with a per of
having lost only one out of ten
games. In the new series of games
that begins Friday, if some team
other than Greenville wins, then a
series of three games are to be play-
ed between that team and Green-
ville to determine which is entitled
to the pennant for the entire sea-
son.
It was agreed at this meeting of
the association that each town in
the league may secure two new
players provided their names are re-
ported by August 2nd. With this ex-
only those players who were
in the first series of games can play
in the second series.
The opening games of the new
series Friday will be between
Kinston and Greenville at Greenville,
and Grifton and Ayden at Ayden, the
games then to alternate to the
towns. Some good games may
be looked for in this new series as
all the teams will be in good trim.

OPERA HOUSE FOB GREENVILLE.
Manager Advises High Class Plays,
Operas and Musical Comedies.
It was with the deepest regret that
the people of Greenville last season
were unable to witness a stage

that they had no place to
date the plays that were billed, due

was swept by fire previous to that
time.

will read with interest the open-
of the new opera house now near-
completion in the Edwards block.
As soon as the place is completed the
managers of the Gaiety will
occupy same until the fall season
opens for theatrical troops, for which
they have slated some of the very
best in grand operas and musical
comedies.
The building which is expected to
be completed within the next two
weeks will have a seating capacity of
four hundred people. They now have
en route opera chairs for same, of the
very best quality, together with this
they have a stage that will

The elevation of the floor is
most completed and together with the

is Mr. H. G. Sparrow, who is well
versed In this profession, and has
years of experience, which gives
cut information that they will only
slate the very best on the road and
assures us of some of the very best

it is his intention to exhibit the very

EXPERIMENTAL FARM
WORK THROUGHOUT STATE
THE
EIGHTY PER CENT OF COUNTIES.
This Work of Much Benefit To The
Farmers.
RALEIGH, July 1911.
Editor
Some days ago we called the at-
of your people to the local ex-
farm work we are doing
the counties of the state.
Not all of the counties have these
farms yet, but we confidentially ex-
to get the work in at least
per cent, of the counties this year.
The work done on these farms is
as will interest every man who
tills the soil. Some of them have
fertilizer experiments; some cultural
methods experiments; some variety
tests; some testing the relative value
of fall as against spring spreading
manure, etc., in all of which the
farmer has a vital interest. Large
signs are erected in front of these
stations and the details of the work
are carefully with large let-
on painted boards so that all
who pass by may see and under-
stand the work in operation.
There may be a few cases where
from one cause or another, such as
failure to get a stand, unusually dry
weather, forced inattention to the
work on the part of the farmer, etc.,
the experiment in question may not
show what it is expected to show, but
we will have to ask you to wait till
the following experiment is placed on
the road as the results may be in-
You will generally find two
on your road each
during the summer and during the
winter and spring. The nature of the
experiment can always be under-
stood from the signs in front of it.
We have to grapple with weather
conditions just like you do, but we
are very much gratified to be able
to say that our work this year is do-
extraordinarily well in all the
counties considering the untoward
conditions under which our local ex-
have had to work. Much
credit is due them for the interest and
determination shown in carrying out
the instructions.
While the department furnishes all
the fertilizers, and all the seed, when
necessary, for the protection of this
experimental -work, the farmer does
not get anything extra for his work.
The work is so planned that the ex-
time given to the experimental
side of the work just balances the
extra fertilizer used on that part of
the acre under experiment. It
will be seen, therefore, that these
men are engaged in a patriotic
service to the state. The most
return is their increased
knowledge of their own local con-
Next week we expect to begin a
series of articles on organic matter
in the soil and will emphasize the
use of green manuring crops as the
best and easiest means of putting
in the soil which is the basis
of all soil fertility.

Plant Between Corn
Hows For Hogs.
It is not too early to plan for
catch crops in the corn, and to
follow oats and wheat with which
to fatten the hogs and make hay this
fall. If all the corn land can not be
put into peas or soy beans, make an
effort to plant such of it, at as
is, or can be fenced, for the hogs.
The corn fields of the South offer
most unlimited possibilities for hog
production. Corn and soy beans make
an ideal hog food, and counting the
two crops, what part of this country
can produce more feed on an acre
during one season than a crop of
corn and soy beans will furnish
For fattening the hogs, we would

are not only our best hog
feeds, but either of the legumes may
be grown on the same land on which
the corn is produced without mete-
lessening the yield of corn.
With the peanuts it may be necessary
to give greater space between the
coin rows than is best for the largest
production of corn, but corn rows
feet apart with the stalks inches
apart in the rows will give practical-
the same number of stalks on the
land as 4-feet rows with the stalks
inches in the row. Or 6-feet rows
with the stalks inches apart will
give practically the same number of
stalks on an acre as 4-feet rows and
the stalks inches apart in the row.

in housing their tobacco crop this sea-

Woman Found in Georgia Lived in
Three Centuries, Under Twenty-

ATLANTA, Mary
Proctor, aged years, a real
daughter of the American Revolution
a woman who has lived in three
when events were
the history of nations,, has just
been located in an humble one room
cabin in Barlow county, Ga. Her sole
companions are her daughter, Miss
Mary Proctor, aged and two great,
great grandchildren, of
another daughter, all who are left of
six generations of her family.
Mrs. Proctor was born in Wake
county, North Carolina. She is the
daughter of Wiley who left
North Carolina about 1800 and later
moved to Alabama, where Mary was
married to Hiram Proctor when she
was nineteen years of age. She was
Mr. Proctor's third wife. Her husband
was a of two wars, the
and the war of 1812.
On a bed of straw constituting a
mattress so thin that the rough plank
slats can be seen, this daughter of the
Revolution lies, her form emaciated,
skin wrinkled, almost a skeleton. Her
aged daughter never tiring of her fee-
efforts to give her mother every
possible comfort, administers to her
wants and tills the soil in a small cot-
ton and garden patch nearby. The
measure profits from the labor she
adds to a a month pension Mrs.
Proctor receives for the services her
husband rendered in the war of 1812.
She was born but a few years after
George Washington was elected Pres-
George Washington was the only
President who served before Mrs.
Proctor became a native of North
Carolina. She has lived under the
administration of twenty-five
dents, including John Adams and
H. Taft.
Until a year ago when her mind
became so enfeebled Mrs. Proctor
would tell her great grand children
of the epoch making incidents in
eleven decades over which her has
spanned. Her stories were vivid
pictures, treating of
her personal knowledge of the early
stages of the history of her own land.
The morning of her life she spent in
the eighteenth when the
United States government had just
been established; the afternoon in the
nineteenth when brother
fought against brother in the Civil
strife of 1861, and now in the
she hears of the discussions of
world wide peace movements, of long
journeys by airships, in striking con-
to the methods of travel when
she was a girl and the modern
of doing a thousand things in as
many different ways so foreign to
those employed a hundred years ago,
when she was eleven years old.
A movement has been started in At-
during the past few days to
raise funds that will be sufficient to
care for the two old women the rest
of their days.

sidelight on the conference between

PROF. BARNES DELIVERED
LAST LECTURE
TERM AT E. C T. T. 8-
He Has a Hold I the People
Of Carolina.
The last lecture for the present
term was given in the auditorium of
the Training school Saturday evening
by Prof. Barnes. Mr. Barnes
had lectured for the school one even-
before this and also gave a short
talk at one period of the opening
exercises. Probably no man who has
conic to North Carolina to do
work has so gotten hold of
the people with whom he has come
in contact as has Prof. Barnes at
the summer term of the Training
school. Thoroughly, equipped for
work as he is, apt and skillful in
this work, thoughtful and
in every utterance, genial and
social in his nature, he has won the
esteem of the student body as com-
as any one we have ever
known. Knowing him as they do
the teachers expected to get some-
thing from Saturday evening's
They were not disappointed.
We have not heard a lecture fuller
of wise thought and practical
than this one. Prof. Barnes
subject was for
In his introductory remarks he said
many kind things about the South,
and expressed his great pleasure at
having had the pleasure of being
here during the summer.
Prof. Barnes gave first a strong,
clear cut definition of efficiency. It
is effective power for work and
ice during a healthy and active life.
An efficient nation made up of
individuals. It is the business
of schools to make efficient
Education for efficiency does
continue through adult years by
means of summer schools, evening
schools, etc.
Secondly, education includes two
training of powers,
and acquisition of knowledge.
should be trained in a large
variety of mental procession and in
the establishing of as many mental
habits as possible.
In the third place he said,
for efficiency must especially
part the habit of quick and
attention. Young people must
be taught to think. Prof. Barnes was
especially strong and practical in his
discussion of the necessity to think.
He stated that there was too much
hurry and activity in our daily
life. We do not have time to think
in this hurry. He was of the opinion
that studies were made too easy In
school, the pupils not doing enough
hard thinking. Teachers encourage
weakness and dependency by their
methods. Any subjects that have a
natural interest for the child will
supply a motive for good thinking.
Fourth, to inspire the motive for
hard work at an early age and to
train the power of consecutive think-
is the greatest problem in
cation for efficiency. This is a task
for the teacher and yet it can be done
and must he done to get the best
results.
Filth, the thoughtful home has
great influence in developing the
In thinking. Mr. Barnes here
gave a number of strong

Sixth. He next discussed the in-
the power, and the efficiency
thinking; in those who are taught.
Seventh. Any subject may be used
to teach the child to think hard. The
idea is, that he is caused to weigh
evidence, draw accurate inferences,
make fair comparisons, invert
form judgment, etc.
Eighth. The scientific spirit is the
great development of the 19th
Its characteristic is the pas-
for truth and for fact as is op-
posed to guess or imagination.
Ninth. Prof. Barnes here discuss-
ed the teacher, naming as requisite
for successful work and results first,
proportion and equipment, second,
school room efficiency, and third,
proper methods. Educational
means the discarding of super-
prejudices, inflexibility of
ideas, and it means the development
of a tendency to receive and accept
new thoughts and new ideas instead
of the old. He gave strong
of teachers hanging to one idea
or method in school work, etc.
Old ideas and methods
should be thrown into the educational
junk heap and new ones installed.
Individuality, courtesy and good-
breeding are absolute essentials of
the teacher.
Teaching of health and hygiene are
positive demands upon the teacher
in this age and time. Mr. Barnes
here mentioned and discussed briefly
medical and dental inspection of
the uselessness of epidemics
such as measles, mumps, etc., and
emphasized strongly the importance
of looking after adenoids, hookworms,
etc.
Tenth. Education for efficiency in-
education for citizenship. He
dwelt strongly upon this point, get-
ting the conclusion that the world
expects every man to do his duty.
Eleventh. The development of see-
good in every thing. Prof. Barnes
was exceedingly happy in his manner
of presenting this division of his sub-
and convinced us all that this
is a very important truth and means
much for us as individuals and for
the world at large.
On the twelfth and last place the
speaker spoke of
showing that men are
fast coming to think for themselves
and not accept every dogma pro-

have given only a brief synopsis
of this splendid address. No report
could do justly to any lecture so filled
with thought and so forcibly and
presented as this was. Prof.
Barnes will always have an audience
when he speaks here, because the
student body knows what is in store
them. The school was exceeding-
y fortunate in having him as one of
the faculty this year. He is equally
as strong in the recitation room as
he is on the platform, and his work
here during this summer term will
count for much in giving our schools
more efficient teachers.

MOSELEY BROS.
WATER WITH MEALS.
as
Illinois Professor's Experiments Up-
set An Old Principal.
When men and horses fall from the
heat there appears to be a double
point to the consideration of a new
theory which favors the drinking of
water in large quantities with meals.
Prof. P. B. Hawk, physiological chem-
of the University of Illinois, is the
first advocate of water at meal time.
The relation of this to sunstroke is
inferred here because nearly all other
medical men discountenance the use
of water at meals and again they
agree that the principal cause of
. sunstroke is an overheated skin,
which is in turn, most frequently due
to an insufficient absorption of water.
Prof. Hawk doesn't consider any of
the effects of not drinking water, but
simply gives the result of his ex-
on water drinking at meal-
time and between meals. These ex-
made in the of
the University of Illinois, have just
been made known, and the result
is said to revolutionize ideas that
can have obtained longer than anyone
can remember. The relation of this
new thought to heat prostration may
be found in the prejudice most
people against drinking water
while eating, owing to insistent
teaching of the deleterious effects of
the habit, and because it is notable
that many cases of prostration

are thoroughly appreciated, but any
suggestion as to the taking of water
in large with meals is
strongly antagonized.
principal objection to the
copious ingestion of the fluid is based
on the supposition that the excess
water dilutes the gastric juice,

Then he gives his experiment and
the result of it. The subject was a
years old. He was on
normal and constant for
teen days analysis being made of his
food before the experiment began.
Water was given sparingly at first,
only half a glass being allowed at
each at 7.30, lunch
noon, and dinner, 6.15. The supply
WM increased, with beneficial effect,
until the subject was drinking three
pints of water at each meal, and his
usual pint between breakfast and
lunch and dinner and between dinner

GOVERNOR REPLY.
Governor Kitchin in Sunday's News
and Observer in reply
to the recent
letters in that paper and the editorial
comment of the paper in regard to
the governor's change of bust-
attitude before and after
The coming of Gov.
reply to these strictures was expect-
ed and had been heralded in advance,
hence it was read eagerly on its
Sunday morning.
Governor reply occupied
some over three columns in small
type, and was given front page
in the News and Observer. He
stood his ground squarely, said that
Senator Lockhart's statements were
mainly untrue, declared that he had
been steadfast and consistent in his
anti-trust attitude, and drubbed the
News and Observer for holding to
the contrary and trying to
his defeat.
It was looking like the governor
had taken care of himself all right,
but alas, in the same paper was a
nine column editorial that beclouded
the situation and upset every point
Governor Kitchin had made before
it was given time to stick. Really
it shows the near futility of
in a controversy with a news-
paper and the disadvantage when the
newspaper can talk right back in the
same issue, and have the last word,
too.

The Reflector was not boasting in
this particular in the sense that term
implies, but made the reference to
show that the government recognized
Greenville as a town of sufficient
importance to be classed with larger
cities in the establishment of Postal
Savings banks. Really, we have been
unable to see any special good to the
public from these Postal Savings
banks, or the need of them, but as
the government has seen fit to
these banks, and recognizes
Greenville as of sufficient importance
to have one, of course we can speak
of Greenville being In the class with
larger cities.
PITT FAIR.
HAVE AX EYE TO HAY.
Premium lists of the Pitt county
fair to be held in Greenville
and are now being sent out.
As the fair is not a money-making
enterprise but free to everybody, and
voluntary donations the only depend-
for premiums, of course they
had to be small, but the money value
won is not the highest thing to con-
sider. The fair is going to
much good, in that it will bring
a large number of people together to
exchange ideas and to compare
each other's products, and to explain
methods of making better yields and
raising finer stock. The
is more and
more prominent in Pitt county, and
the farmers are in friendly rivalry
to see which can succeed best. Those
who win premiums at the fair will
certainly have cause to feel proud.
From the number who are planning
to make exhibits at the fair, there is
every prospect of it being a great
success.
The farmers of this section had as
well turn their minds to making a
supply of hay this season, unless they
want to pay something like a ton
and upward for it winter. Ac-
cording to reports, the hay crop of
the Western States is largely a fail-
hence what is made out there is
going to demand a high price. We
are almost ashamed to tell it, but in
past seasons hundreds and hundreds
of car loads of Western hay have
been shipped to Pitt county, and if
that thing has to be done the coming
season it is going to cut a mighty
in the cash of the farmers. There
is not a farmer of consequence in Pitt
county but who can raise on his own
farm all the hay he needs, and some
to spare. That is the thing he should
be careful to do this year.

One of the greatest nuisances and
frauds of modern times is what is
termed and it is
astonishing how people will be duped
by them. If a person receives one
of these he should
promptly refuse to become a party
to the fraud in helping to pass it
further. Throw such letters aside
regardless of the appeal not to break
the chain. The latest instance of
this fraud called to

ever before, and gets to
her own raw material into usable
products, we will have an ideal
The farmers ought to and can
easily raise all the corn, wheat, meat
and hay used in the county, and there
ought to be mills for grinding the
corn and wheat into meal and flour.
Enough cotton is already raised here
to more than clothe the county, and
we ought to have mills to
this into cloth and yarns. These
things will come some day.

The immunity of a head
from danger by a falling weight has
again been established. One was
ringing a church bell in Rock Hill,
S. C, when the clapper broke loose
from the bell and fell forty feet, land-
on the head. He was only
slightly stunned and suffered no
injury from the blow. The re-
port does not say if the bell clapper
was dented from the compact.
In a speech at Atlantic City, Hon.
Champ Clark comes out strong as
to the duty of a citizen in the mat-

take part in selecting those who are

so-called good citizen who stays
away from the polls and leaves the
voting to the is really the
bad citizen.
It is to be hoped that nothing will
come to mar the prospects of good
crops that now prevail throughout
the county. Ask almost any farmer
you meet about his crops and he
will tell you they are fine. With the
continuation of favorable conditions
through to the harvest there will be
such a reaping as will make thous-
ands of hearts glad.

Under the old treaty it was pro-

Britain lend aid to Japan.
Under the new treaty Great Britain
is precluded from giving support to

States. This results from the terms
of the general arbitration treaty made
between Great Britain and the
States. The news papers in Japan
have been discussing the new treaty
that country has made with this. The

new treaty practically removes any

LOOK AFTER HEALTH
CHILDREN
VA THE FOB THIS.
Superintendent Gives Timely
To
Tin- graded schools of the town
of Greenville will open, as usual, the
latter part of September. It is now
about eight weeks till the date of
the beginning of the term. I wish
to urge upon the attention of par-
the importance of getting their
children ready for school before the
opening of the next session. There is
a number of children who need
medical and dental attention, and it
is this phase of preparation to which
I would like to call special attention
at this time.
Last year we had a good deal to
say about adenoids. A number of
people had their children treated, and
the difference in general health, and
especially in alertness and increased
power to manage school work, was
very marked. Adenoids seriously
pair the health of children, make
them dullards in school in nine cases
out of ten, and lay the foundation
for serious throat and lung troubles.
If your child snores much, does not
breathe freely through the nose, or
keeps his mouth open a good deal,
have your physician, or a specialist,
to make examination. Many
have bad cases of adenoids and
their parents do not know it. Last
year I think several parents were
surprised when we told them that
their children's throats were affected,
and that it looked as if adenoids
were the cause of the trouble.
Another source of trouble in school
is weak eyes. I know it is not
ways possible to have these defects
remedied in vacation but much can
be done for relief. We have in school
a good number of children whoso
eyes need attention, and it is much
easier to treat them during vacation
than during the school term when
more or less reading and study is
unavoidable.
Vacation is a good time to have
teeth attended to, also. Never a
week passes that from one to a half
dozen children lose time from school
on account of teeth. The teeth should
be examined by a dentist at least
once a year, and vacation is the best
time to have examination of school
children's teeth.
Another disease which prevails in
the school is hook worm. I know
that some people are disposed to treat
this subject with a jest. But the
fact remains that there is a
of children in Greenville, as well
as practically every section of the
South, who are affected with a disease
which reputable and reliable
call hook worm. Last spring
one of the physicians in the employ
of the State Department of Health
visited our schools, and I took him
through the grades. He told me that
he was positive that he saw a good
number of children who were suffer-
from hook worm disease. Twenty-
five or thirty of the parents of school
children had examination and treat-
of their children last year, and
in every case the change in
in brightness, in alertness, In
ability to do school work success-
fully, and the general toning up of
health was most remarkable.
There are yet numerous cases of
hook worm among the school
and in many cases the par-
do not even suspect it, I fear.
Examination costs nothing, and
whether parents credit or discredit
what is said of the disease, the fact
remains that if a child has it his
childish helplessness entitles him to
attention and treatment. If a child
is pale, delicate, rather stupid, not
growing normally, does not learn
well, and is indifferent generally, an
examination might reveal a
prise.
Few of the towns in North Caro-
make vaccination one of the
conditions of entrance into the public
schools. The importance of
nation is so well understood that I
do not deem it necessary for me to
say more about it than that it is
ways an important safe-guard, both
to the individual and to the public
generally. In the larger towns and
cities, no person is admitted to the
schools who has not been success-
fully vaccinated within required
of time.
I urge parents not to overlook the
matter of having their children ready
for school when it opens. Vacation
is by far the best time to have dental
work and medical attention for school
children. Our term is short, and we
need the children at school as reg-
as we can get them. No child
can do much in school who is not
well. Nor will he ever amount to
much elsewhere. This is an age of
health and sanitation. People are
realizing more and more each year
the utter futility of hoping to
a diseased child. It simply can-
not be done. And they are also real-
that it is useless to hope to
make an economic factor out of a
person whose health has been neg-
in childhood.
Please do not neglect your child's
health, and do not forget to have
him sound and well by the opening
of school, if such lies within your
power.

Superintendent of Schools.

WHAT THE KIDNEYS DO.
Their Work Keeps Us
Strong And Healthy.
All the blood in the body passes
through the kidneys once every three
minutes. The kidneys filter the blood.
They work night and day. When
healthy they remove about grains
of impure matter daily, when
healthy some part of this impure mat-
is left in the blood. This brings
on many diseases and symptoms
pain in the back, headache, nervous-
hot, dry skin, rheumatic
pains gout, gravel, disorders of
the eyesight and hearing,
irregular heart, debility,
drowsiness, dropsy, deposits in the
urine, etc. But if you keep the filters
right you will have no trouble with
your kidneys.

Wholesale Prices Last Year Per
Cent Higher Than
The high cost of living is no myth.
An investigation by the bureau of
labor of prices of commodities
during 1910 shows that wholesale
prices in that year were per cent,
higher than in 1909 and 1.6 per
cent, above the average of 1907,
which was the year of highest
prices since 1890. In view of the
Canadian reciprocity discussion an
interesting item in the bureau re-
port shows that the wholesale price
of farm products was 7.5 per cent,
higher in 1910 than in 1909.
Wholesale prices in 1910 were
19.1 per cent, higher than in 1900;
46.7 per cent, higher than 1897,
which was the year of lowest prices
between 1890 and 1910; 16.6 per
cent, higher than 1890 and 31.6 per
cent, higher than the average price;
between 1890 and 1899.
The highest prices in this decade
were reached in October in 1907,
when a general decline began which
continued until August, 1908. A rise
then set in and there were monthly
increases without a break up to
March, 1910, when wholesale prices
reached the highest point in
They were then 21.1 per
cent, higher than the average of
1900; 49.2 per cent, higher than the
yearly average of 1897 and 33.8 per
higher than the average price
of ten years between 1890 and 1899.
Then followed a slight decline,
and from June to December, 1910,
prices remained nearly level and at
the close of the calendar year 1910
they were still per cent, higher
than the ten-year average between
1890 and 1900 and 45.4 per cent,
higher than the record year by the
low-price year 1897. Of the

Zoo Anaconda Mother Prevents Him
From Killing.
Forty-eight babies were hatched by
Big Annie, the anaconda in the Bronx
Zoo a few days ago, and each baby
measured three and one-half feet in
length yesterday.
Big Annie is twenty-two feet long
and thirty-six Inches in diameter. As
she turned her tremendous head and
gazed at her family she met the gaze
of the python, which is twenty four
feet in length and the father of the
forty-eight babies. The python was
furious. He shot out his tongue in
anger and across the cage to-
ward the forty-eight babies. Big An-
saw him coming, and she knew
he was bent on murder and a hearty
meal.
As he came close she struck and
the python fell back. Then on he
came again and again. Big Annie
was equal to the attack. The baby
snakes squirmed under their mother
and all about her. The fight was be-
coming more and more furious when
a keeper appeared. He yelled for all
the other keepers in the snake house.
Not a man of them dared enter the
cage. The python was lashing his
tail until the bars of the cage seemed
to bend time it struck them. Big
Annie was too wise to lash. One
blow from her tail would have killed
a dozen or two of her offspring. She
only raised her head and warded off
the attack of her husband and the
children's jealous daddy.
One of the keepers got a prong
through the top of the cage and jam-
med it down over the head of the
python. A second prong fastened his
squirming body a few feet down and
gradually he was made a prisoner.
Then Big Annie with a hiss drew her
slimy self to a further end of the cage
and her forty-eight children followed
her.
While the python was held down a
partition was arranged between him
and his wife and children, and later
he was persuaded into another cage
and locked up.
Big Annie came here from Trinidad
and was present to New York from
R. R. Mole. She is one of the biggest
snakes in York World

I want to Bay a few words about
our tobacco crop and tobacco trade
at homo. What tobacco we have is
looking line, but we will not reach
over per cent, of a crop. While
driving over about forty miles of this
section I have noticed that about one-
half of every tobacco patch is plant-
ed in corn or cotton.
I see men traveling over this county
investigating the tobacco crop. I
suppose you would call them

want to say to this class of men,
that if you have been hired to do this
kind of work you will soon lose your
job and have to move, as others have
done before.
This been called the new to-
belt, but it is getting old
enough to have its eyes open now, and
I think this dickering and back-biting
should be stopped among tobacco
drummers.
Now, one man after another has
quit cultivating tobacco, and one
market after another is going out of
business.
I have sold tobacco with every ware-
house in Greenville and they treated
me with all due respect, and I can
say the same of the buyers. But I
would be glad to see the warehouse-
men and the Tobacco Board of Trade
get together and stamp out this back-
biting business, and get the tobacco
business to a higher standing. Then
the pleasure and profit would be
greater to all concerned.

Degrees Below Zero In Siberia,
Above Algeria.
Plants and animals cannot exist
in temperatures far -higher or lower
than those to which they have be-
come accustomed, while man moves
from one extreme to the other with,
for the most part, but little
cal discomfort. Explorers will visit
the sands of Africa and the bleakness
of the Arctic Circle and return to
normal environments even improved
in physical condition.
Man inhabits about every part of
the earth except a few island regions
in the interior of continents and
immediate vicinity of the poles. It
is from dread of climatic conditions
that his tent has found no more than
a temporary resting place in some
of these far distant spots. It is not
thought that the heat or cold of any
of the unexplored regions of the
globe has a greater range of temper-
than many regions now
Science reasons that the
temperature at the earth's surface
are not found directly at the poles
but at some distance to the south of
the North Pole and to the north of
the South Pole. Likewise the great-
est degree of heat is not, as might
be supposed, to be found at the
tor, but prevails at some distance
to the north and to the south of that
imaginary line.
The coldest place on the earth's
surface of which there is authentic
record is in Siberia. The lowest
ever recorded in the open
air was degrees below zero
at central Si-
on January 1885.
The highest temperature of which
there is an authenticated record is
degrees above zero in
Algeria, northern Africa, on July
1879. These places of extreme heat
and extreme cold give a range of
temperature covering the whole in-
habitable world of degrees, or
two degrees more than from zero to
the boil-point.
In the United States the lowest
temperature ever recorded in winter
is degrees below zero in North
Dakota, and the highest ever record-
ed in summer is degrees above
zero in Arizona. This gives a total
range of degrees within about
miles.
There is an unauthenticated report
from an outpost of the Al-
bad lands, which gives a
record in the air of
degrees above zero
This if correct exceeds by degrees
that of the highest on record. It is
also stated that the temperature at
this place rarely gets down to
degrees. On one or two occasions it
dropped to degrees and the

as it may seem, the death rate of

SAKES SWALLOW COW'S HORN'S.
The Carolina Home and The Eastern Reflector.
Both Die Thus Impaled Are
Taken Home by The Cow.
If you could have seen the bulge
of Sheriff eyes when one of
his cows came home with a large
black snake dangling from each
horn, you would have seen almost as
great a sight as that of the snakes.
The sheriff runs a large dairy
has a number of cows. One of them
is an old cow with extra long,
horns and this was the cow
brought in the snakes, which had
attempted to swallow
horns, making a partial success,
though still a fatal failure.
An after thought presented a
solution. That was about the
That morning this cow
had gored an old rooster that persist-
ed in eating with her. That left the
smell of chicken on her horns. Some
black snakes are extra fond of chick-
en. Therefore, finding the smell of
in the air, the snakes pro-
to investigate, tracing it to
the cow, which must have been lying
down asleep, when they mistook her
horns for something akin to chicken
and proceeded with the swallowing
act. Each snake took a separate
horn. When the swallowing act had
been so far completed that the snakes
mouths reached the cow's head, there
was a halt and owing to the formation
of mouths, especially for the
swallowing act, there was no escape
for the snakes but to stay there and
die. There must have been
squirming and a scared cow,
though she was apparently
of her unusual adornment
when she reached home that evening.
They had to be cut off the cow's horns.

NEBRASKA POLITICAL
BRYAN NOT IN STATE FIGHT.
Republicans Badly
Supporters Busy Against Taft.
. LINCOLN, accordance
f. h the state primary law which re-
t that all of the political parties
hold their conventions on the
same day, the Republicans
bled in state convention here today
while the Democrats and Populists
met at Fremont. All candidates are
selected in primaries, so that all that
is left for the convention to do is
build platforms and select the state
campaign officers.
The conventions, nevertheless, are
attracting the attention of politicians
the country over. They are the first
state conventions of the year to be
held anywhere in the North or West.
Furthermore, they are held in a state
which has furnished some of the most
conspicuous leaders of the
movement in the Republican party
and at the same time still interests
the Democrats as the home state of
William J. Bryan.
Unless all signs go astray the Re-
publican convention in this city will
furnish more interesting develop-
than the gathering at Fremont.
The Republicans are badly split. The
and fought
and the Progressive Re-
publican was the outgrowth.
Then the latter party split and the
Nebraskan Progressive
Republican resulted, the lat-
consisting of those insurgents who
have returned to the support of
dent Taft, while the Pro-
are still fighting the ad-
ministration.
La emissaries have been
busily at work in Nebraska for some
time and have succeeded in working
up considerable sentiment favoring
the Wisconsin senator for the
nomination. If the La Fol-
supporters succeed in prevent-
the convention from
President Taft they will be satisfied.
If the president is endorsed they
will probably lose little time in or-
a La league and
beginning the fight in earnest.
Victor Rosewater, the Omaha ed-
is leading the fight for Taft,
while Governor Aldrich is an avowed
supporter of La A success-
or to United States Senator Norris
Brown is to be chosen before long
and this tends to still further com-
the situation in the
can party. Congressman Norris, one
of the foremost leaders
in congress, is an aspirant for the
and his friends will not
stand for any action on the part of
the convention that might militate
against his interests.
As Governor Aldrich has been
by Victor Rosewater with
a view to bringing out the governor
as a candidate for senator, the Aid-
rich and Rosewater interests are to
some extent in sympathy. At the
same time, however, Rosewater is an
ardent supporter of Taft, while Aid-
rich leans toward La Sen-
Brown, no longer of
Rosewater, is supporting Taft, thus
opposing Aldrich, whose support he
would like in the fight.
While the Republicans are thus
badly mixed up the Democrats, on
the other hand, appear to be working
in more perfect harmony than for a
number of years past. For the first
time in more than a decade they are
approaching a campaign with a
thorough organization behind them.
Mr. Bryan seems to have been
or to have eliminated himself,
from Nebraska politics. He has re-
from making any comment or
expressing any views on the local
situation. Whether or not he will
support the candidates selected by
the party is a question, but it is
that he has not endeavored in
any way to influence the choice of
candidates or the construction of the
platform.
Favors Direct Tax Roads.
FOUNTAIN, N. C. July 1911.
Editor
I saw in your paper of the 7th
where one Major
writing on good roads. He gave it
as his opinion that we could build
the roads cheaper by bondage than we
could by direct taxation, but I don't
think so. He says that his county
has paid out in three years,
which he says is an average of
315.18 per year, while he says if his
county would issue bonds to the
amount of that the interest
would be per year, which he
says would be less per year
than they are now paying. Well,
that much is all so, but I think if
he would consider rightly he would
be bound to say that it is cheaper to
work them by direct taxes. Because
when they are worked that way the
debt would be paid, when if they
bond their county to the amount of
they will have to pay that
as long as those bonds stand
which would cost twice as much as
it would to work them by taxation,
provided they were paid in due time.
It is the same way to the people of
our county. If we were to bond our
county to the amount of it
would cost the people of the county
each year to pay the interest
and if we have to be taxed to work
the roads had rather do it by a
tax. Then we will have no bonds
to be taxed to death under to the
ruination of our county. And, further-
more, if we work them by a direct
tax then the money will stay among
us instead of sending it away.

girls is called to meet him; if neither
objects the young woman is presented
with a wedding ring and the couple
are declared duly wedded for a year
on approval.
At the end of the year they may
separate and each is free to marry
again; or, if they are not quite sure
whether they will be happy, can
arrange to separate for a day of
before the next fair and then be wed-
again for another year. If a
couple remain together over the year
the marriage becomes binding for life,
or if any family is born the union is
also valid for life.
If a maiden refuses the first man
she is supposed to marry the next of-
to her. But this rule is not rig-
idly enforced now, though formerly
the names of candidates were taken
haphazard by the head man of the
community, who did not put up with
nonsense about maidenly coyness.
Nowadays it is generally arranged
beforehand to call together only those
couples who have been courting. The
system has worked good results
for centuries and will probably last
some while yet, until the farming dis-
become crowded with factories
and towns.

remarkable
of facts which have come to light
within the last twenty-four hours in-
that packers of embalmed beef
are the influences that have been
principally behind the plot to have
Dr. Wiley ousted from public service.
Manufacturers of embalmed beef
are at present, by virtue of an order
issued by the department of
permitted to use of
soda in whatever quantities they may
desire. Dr. Wiley not only opposed
the issuance of this order, maintain-
that the preservative is decided-
harmful in its effects upon the
man system, but has worked
to educate the people to the
danger lurking in packed meats in
which is used. The result
is that several states have passed
legislation absolutely forbidding the
use of the drug in any quantity what-
ever. Therefore, Dr. Wiley has be-
come a standing menace to the em-
beef industry. man
Wiley has got to was the edict
that went out from the embalmed
meat manufacturers.
When Dr. Wiley held that
of soda was harmful to the human
system, the packers appealed to the
referee board, especially
packed with friends of the food
dopers, which board very promptly
and reversed Dr. Wiley. The
board held that of soda in
small quantities, as five-
tenths of one gram per day, was not
injurious to healthy personal But
when the order was Issued legalizing
the use of no limitation
whatever was made as to the amount
of the drug the packers might use.
Remarkable circumstances attend-
ed the issuing of the order letting
down the bars to the food dopers.
The order was issued on March
1909, and was placed in circulation
March the day President Taft went
into office. It was signed by George
B. Oscar S. and
James Wilson, three cabinet officers,
as required by law. Of the three
men, two were to retire from office
the next day and actually retired be-
fore the scope of their order became
known.
This order giving government

acid meat that we were going
back years, for or its
products had not been used in the
preservation of flesh since the
stopped embalming their dead.
Chemist Floyd W. Roberson, one of
Dr. Wiley's prominent assistants, re-
appeared as a witness against

state of Indiana to prevent the sale

Against Wiley.
Since Taft has been in the White
House he has invariably opposed Dr.
Wiley instead of having co-operation
with him in the interests of pure
food.

Incriminating Evidence Disappears.
Following the mysterious

from the files of the interior depart-
comes the discovery that a full
set of Controller Bay maps have been
disappeared from the files of the
war department.
The maps in question were seen
not only by M. F. Abbott, but by Del-
of Alaska, Gil-
ford and by Secretary of War,
Henry L. Stimson. Yet Major J. B.
Cavanaugh, of the war department,
testified before the Graham commit-
tee that the maps are not in the files

are making is in allowing the
of the community to develop
into criminals because we neglect
them and turn our attention too much
to the punishment of crime that is
already committed. There is hardly
a term of court held anywhere that
there are not a number of children
up for committing some crime. A
little investigation discloses the fact
that these children become criminals
because of neglect. I want you at
this term of court to determine if
there are any orphans or neglected

Scientific criminology has long ago
decided that the reformation of

that makes them criminals and its
correction is an absolutely necessary
prerequisite to any permanent re-

the head of the unfortunate youth
serves to fix the erroneous notions
in his brain and to make them
harder of eradication.
The various orphanages scattered
over the state testify to the fact that
we have not been entirely unmindful
of these things, but Judge Allen's
experience that there is scarcely a
court docket without its child defend-

to be done. The training schools

Two Ways to Increase Dairy Products
Why are our dairymen not making
more profit out of their business
While few dairymen lose money, it
must be admitted that the majority
are not making the profits which the
business should be made to yield. It
seems to us that the reasons for this
condition of affairs are not difficult
to find. Two of these reasons stand
out more prominently than the
First, they are not up-to-date dairy
men. They are not employing the
dairy knowledge which is well es-
and easy to acquire by
those who seek it. They are not keep-
the records necessary to enable
them to know and dispose of the
profitable cows; they are not building
and using silos, and they are not
putting on the market a high class
product.
There is no longer any good excuse
for this failure to avail one's self of
this dairy information necessary to
insure success in these lines. Any
dairyman in the South can have the
competent assistance of trained men
to help him learn his business and
conduct it on modern and profitable
lines. Both National and State gov-
keep trained experts for
this purpose, the services of whom
may be had by any earnest dairy-
man at practically no direct cost.
The second reason why our dairy-
men fail to obtain adequate profits
is that they buy too much high-priced
feed, or if they produce feed, do it at
too high cost. By giving sufficient in-
attention to the production
of feeds and by a study of feeding
problems, the coat of production might
be greatly reduced. Our markets are
good, but our cost of production
together too high, considering the op-
which we possess. Better,
cows, more intelligently fed, and more
feed produced at less cost,
are the keys to better profits for the
average Southern dairyman. Natural
conditions are favorable and all that
is needed in the application of dairy
knowledge and good business

HI X AWAY BOY LOCATED THERE
Ho Finds That The Waters Were

HANRAHAN, N. COne afternoon
about two weeks after Eugene's first
night's experience on the bosom of
the Neuse, the writer was out looking
for the cows. Cows roved the woods
in those days, and it took four to give
one gallon instead of one giving five
gallons as now. I was about two
miles from home and at an old Prim-
Baptist church, Pleasant Plains,
but it was a misnomer to some ex-
tent, for some things that had hap-
in this old building in former
years were not very pleasant in church
circles. It was here that the
split and part of the members
declared themselves missionary in
spirit. So they left and went with
that body of ever progressive Chris-
workers, the Missionary
The remaining few were left
to believe that whatever is to be will
be, any how. The feeling was any-
thing but pleasant for some time. I
only mention this in passing to say
that the old church is now entirely
abandoned, but on the steps of this
old building I sat me down to rest
and to listen for the tingle of the
cow bell. I had been there but a
short while, when I heard a voice
softly calling to me from the corner
of the house, the off side from the
road. I went quickly around there,
because I thought the voice had
something of a sound that had been
familiar to me. On reaching the
corner I heard Eugene say from a
clump of bushes nearby, here,
it is I, it is Then my heart
leaped for joy, out I was wonder
struck, for I could not imagine how
he came there. I had heard that he
had run away from his master and
knew that they were looking for
him, but except this, I knew nothing
of his whereabouts. back into

him. on earth is the matter

was I said, too, look
so different from the way you did
when you he said,
I feel so much better than I did when
I came Then he told me of
his escape and his long and lonely
trip down the river, and how as he
floated down one afternoon and sow
those hills and beautiful moss cover-
ed oaks, he moored his boat to a bush
near the south bank and climbed out
and had scrambled through the thick
under growth that hedged them in on
every side. He saw some springs
and being thirsty he drank freely,
then he examined and found that
there were seven of these in a space
not more than feet square. He
found, too, that each of these had
different taste. He said that I was
the only human that he had seen since
his escape except Uncle an old
colored man that helped to bury his
father. Said he knew that he would
not betray him and that I would not.
He said when he drank of that water
and felt so much better that he had
determined to stay in hiding around
there until he was entirely well.
must say in passing that he could
have found no better hiding place at
that time, for there was no trace of
a path that led to the springs and
the hills that surrounded them were
covered with a dense coat of myrtle
bushes and stately oaks. He said he
had slept each night in this old
church and at light each morning
he would wind his way back to drink
from these springs.
For fear that it may sadden some
correspondent's heart, or at least
give him much concern to know how
Eugene obtained his food during the
four weeks that he was lying in am-
bush and drinking of this life-giving
waters, I would say to such a one
that a raven in the form of Uncle
gave him some sweet potatoes
land with his cross-bow he secured
his meat. And for the benefit of the
same one, would say that miles
in those days was a greater
than is miles now. And the

days and Eugene told me that he
spoke very kindly to him and treated
him very nicely that day at the court
house, and he was anxious to go
with him. Eugene thanked my par-

him, but said he knew they could

Now, back to my subject. We had
but a short while to talk at this meet-
because the shade of night was
falling fast and at this point I heard
the tinkling of a distant cow bell.
So I must needs drive them home,
and Eugene must get to his hiding,
for well up the road that runs near
the old church we saw a man on
horse back. We agreed to meet again
at a different point two days from
then at an earlier hour. Then he
promised to lead me to the springs
that had done so much for him
the weeks that he had been
drinking from the. He said he was
sure those waters would restore me
to health, as they had about made him
well.
We parted for this time, and I did
so long for the time to come when
we should meet again, when he should
guide me to that which would re-
store my strength and make me feel
once more that life was worth living.
Please don't ask why we did not set
the next day to meet, I being so
anxious to gain my health. Do you

NECESSITY OF ORGANIC
MATTER IN THE SOIL
IMPORTANT TO THE FARMERS.
NORTH CAROLINA VETERANS
Too Much Cultivable Lands
To Waste Through Neglect
There are two things absolutely es-
to successful farming in North
Carolina. One is deep plowing, and
the other is the incorporation in the
soil of humus or organic matter
from decaying vegetation.
We have heard a great deal about
deep plowing, and, on soils which
have stiff, heavy sub-soils, deep
plowing, and in some cases, even sub-
soiling, is entirely necessary. But
have heard all too little about
the organic matter content of our
soils. Indeed, some wag might say,
there is not enough organic matter
in most of our soils to about
anyway, but that is just why we
should begin to talk. Good plowing
and a liberal amount vegetable
or organic matter in our soils
constitute the two oars by which the
agricultural boat must be driven in
North Carolina. We have
done most of our pulling on the
plowing oar and as a result our boat
has inclined to go in a circle with
the result that the people or the
state are shipping in tens of mil-
lions of dollars worth of food sup-
plies every year when- they should
be selling more than they buy.
We are giving out no information
when we say that nine-tenths of our
soils are poor and unproductive.
These poor soils are and

boy nowadays with a thin, pale,
face, we are pretty apt to
say he has the hookworm, by which
we mean he has little red blood in
bis veins, low vitality, waning
strength, and little ambition. His
life forces are becoming weaker, he
is unable to do much, we Bay, and
his ability to do is becoming less
and less every day and will finally
be reduced to zero unless he is given
a treatment. Keep this in mind and
go twenty-five miles in almost any
direction in North Carolina and you
will see on every hand, fields of

you will allow the figure, and can do
little without a treatment. The vi-
of these poor lands is so low
that it pays no one to cultivate them.
Deep plowing alone will not do.
The proper treatment of all these
poor or abandoned lands, that are
well-drained, is, first, give them a
heavy dose of organic matter either
in the shape of manure or
green manure. These are the two
sources of organic matter in our soil.
The one is, and always has been,
too limited to set much store by, while
the other is, always has been, and
always will be, the principal source
from which we must obtain humus
for the agricultural soils in North
Carolina.

The student body of the summer
term was composed of teachers and
supervising officials.
It is the aim of the summer term
of the Training School to offer to the
teachers of North Carolina a course
of instruction that will enable those
attending the school to become more
efficient. To do this it was necessary
to offer a variety of courses. There
were forty-six different combinations
offered. These courses were such
that any public school teacher
recognized his needs could take
just the line of work which would
supply that need and thus add to his
efficiency. As far as it was
cable, the books adopted by the state
were used as text-books.
