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. Be The Way To Stop It.

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. X r Mr. E. L. Stewart Married. At Chapel Hill Tuesday morning, Mr. Edward L.

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 of any interest, due to the fact that they had no place to date the plays that were billed, due the ruins of the opera house that was swept by fire previous to that time. , For the coming season the 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 any ordinary cast of perform- The elevation of the floor is most completed and together with the arrangements in front in the way of a ticket booth greatly adds to the of an up-to-date opera house. The manager for the coming season 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 that are obtainable in North Carolina. He furthermore states that it is his intention to exhibit the very best in pictures during the time with the exception of the nights he has plays billed. The proprietors of the Gaiety, who are Messrs. H. G. Sparrow and L. A. Squires, of Washington, are certainly displaying their ability and meeting with much success since their opening here.

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.

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 rely on soy beans, peanuts and corn. 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. Raleigh Progressive Farmer.

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.

Now an inspired genius has dis- that is a disposition, due to molecular action in an inverse manner to the normal, resulting in a declination of the power of propinquity of maids and widows over the men so afflicted. With this explanation the rest is easy. It is only necessary to treat the bachelor as a man to be coddled and to be fed from the hand of the resourceful man. He must be made to appreciate the sublimity, the divinity of woman without having his eyes opened to her artifice. This is something of what Govern- or Gilchrist is driving at in his high- minded contribution to why bachelors are and how they may not be. The gubernatorial mind has been by the subject and he turns to the Book of Ruth in the Bible and finds in the story of how two widows managed to land a mighty man of wealth for the younger and more at- tractive of the pair an inspiration for advice as to how to get rid of Taxing them out of existence has been tried in vain.

The Carolina Home and 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 of the truthfulness of this state- 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- At the conclusion of this address Prof gave two read- from Riley as Weather and Deep in 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.

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 low the reception of a hearty meal. medical the re- of Prof. Hawk says, unanimously advise strongly Hie drinking of large amounts of water taken at mealtime. The able features following the liberal use of water taken at the proper time. 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, the normal rhythm of the digestive 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 and bed time. This made six quarts a day. Every day the subject was weighed before breakfast, and he gained steadily in weight and healthy tis- sue. All his physical processes proved. He looked better and felt better as the days wore on, and it was found that the bodily activities were stimulated so that separation and distribution of foods were proved and the system kept free of toxic poisons. The effect was an in- creased storage for nitrogen in the body and the con- constituents of the diet were more economically during the period of extra water New York Times. BED ITEMS.

FRIDAY, JULY 1911. 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. o--------- MERELY STATING FACTS. savings compared with per cent paid by the local banks, and that no money can be drawn out of the bank unless given thirty notice while the local banks pay on Bern Sun. 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.

A Postal Savings Bank will be es- In Greenville August 19th, and the Reflector boasts that this puts in class with the larger Surely the Reflector cannot see any special good that in- will do for the town, when it only pays per cent, interest on 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 our attention came from New York and was sent especially to purporting to have been by the Most Worshipful Grand Master of the State of New for the purpose of erecting a monument in Canton, Ohio, to William The Grand Master of New York de- the letter as a fraud and position. If any Mason who reads this gets one of these he should know how to treat it. When Pitt county gets to raising all her own supplies, something she will come nearer to this year than 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.

Under the new treaty Great Britain is precluded from giving support to Japan in a conflict with the United 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 government press is Japan upon this result, believing that the new treaty practically removes any possibility of war between Japan and the United States, while the minority newspapers criticize the treaty, be- cause, in their opinion, it gives the United States all the better position and weakens the position of Japan.

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. H. B. SMITH, Superintendent of Schools.

Yours truly, Taft VanDyke 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.

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 Will Remodel Court House The bid of J. D.

Editor Reflector 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 They, seem to be trying to tear down their competitor's to build up their own. They seem to have their guns pointed at the Consolidated people. One of these men said to me, in the world arc the Consolidated people borrow- so much money for I am afraid the old Gum warehouse will soon rot down, Why did he not ask do all the banks of this county borrow money I have heard this and several other misleading remarks over this section. 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. J.

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 shivered with the cold.

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. The snakes were evidently mates and in death they were nigh to- IS.

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.

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.

TRIAL MARRIAGE I GERMANY Ancient Custom of Making a Fair Still Exists Some. An ancient custom of holding a May fair for selecting brides and bride- grooms on trial still exists some villages of the district in Ger. many. On the day of the fair the young men and women who have been stand in groups on adjacent locks, their names being inscribed on a roll in the possession of the fair officials, who sit around a table be- tween the groups. The ages of the young men are stated on the roll, but not those of the girls. Males are then called forward by name in the order of their age, the oldest coming and one of the 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. Is Tough On Him, Sure.

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.

A mistake that we 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 children in the county. If you should find such neglected children it is your duty to report the matter to the clerk of court and homes will be found for Scientific criminology has long ago decided that the reformation of to obtain the best result, must begin early. There will scarce- be dissent from Judge Allen's diagnosis as to the principal source of supply. The rearing of upright men and women is a matter which requires the most painstaking and care, and if these be lack- through the death of parents or their is the easiest and most natural thing in the world for the neglected boys and girls to drift into unsavory environ- From these they get an en- twisted outlook upon life and its relationships. It is this outlook that makes them criminals and its correction is an absolutely necessary prerequisite to any permanent re- form. Every year that passes over 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- ants shows how much yet remains to be done. The training schools which the state being and in stop the leak a little further down the steam.

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 Progressive Farmer. Legal Notices North Carolina, Pitt County, In the Superior Court.

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 the he said as I approached him. on earth is the matter with he said, you look so from what you I, too. 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 man that Eugene was bound to was rich in this world's goods for those 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- so much for their kindness to him, but said he knew they could not care for all the orphans In the community just after the war. Fur- I would say to that same correspondent, that a more truthful epitaph was never placed on any mans tomb than is inscribed on my father's head stone. These are the words that are on his I was an hungered and yet gave me Matt. first clause of 35th verse. 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 ask my trouble I answer, no one could then tell, but now we know, it was hook worm.

Number 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 read of all When we see a 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 white, pale, sandy soils thrown out Grand Camp of Confederate Veterans of North Carolina.

Why this abandonment of cultivable lands in North Caro- Examine them and you will find a good amount of all the mineral elements of plant food, but the humus or organic mat- content is almost nothing.

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. Next week we expect to take up the discussion of the bringing up of these poor lands in the state and will speak of the crops to be grown first in an attempt at their We want to call the attention of every man, who has poor lands on his farm, to this series of articles which will likely extend over some months.

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. The student body left a fund of for the purchase of books for the library, thus showing by this free- will offering that they appreciate the efforts being made for them.
