HOW SEVEN SPRINGS
HI X AWAY BOY LOCATED THERE
Ho Finds That The Waters Were
Health Giving.
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
the he said as I approached
him. on earth is the matter

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.

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

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

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.

JACK MILLS, OF BLESSED
The Work He Did Will Stand As An
Monument.
HANRAHAN, X. C, Aug.
one could have been more anxious to
be restored to health and vigor than
was I. My oldest brother was a
physician and one well posted for
his day, and therefore he had ac-
to the best counsel of his pro-
So everything that medical
skill could do at that time had been
done, and I was still sallow, slug-
and without vigor. So surely
I was more than anxious for the day
to come when Eugene would lead me
to the fountains of health, vigor and
life that he had found, but I must
needs wait until the appointed day.
So while we are waiting I will tell
you of a young man that was then
in some of the middle or western
counties of our own beloved state.
From the time that Mills,
as he was familiarly
known in his latter years, first saw
the light of day, the stars twinkle
by night and the moon's silvery
as she hangs in the heavens,
God saw in him a great purpose, for
indeed, from his early youth he had
a fixed purpose in life, and to this
end he was ever intent. In the days
of his youth he remembered his
From the time lie could first
lisp a few of the simplest words at
his mother's knee he was taught at
nightfall to say, I lay me down
to and at early morning to
cast his eyes heavenward and say,
God, give me sufficient of Thy
grace today to accomplish some
good, in Thine own way. Let not
my feet go astray, and no vile word
may I think or say. A great and
good man of me make, I ask it all
for Jesus sake.
Thus tutored from earliest infancy,
and the Holy Spirit ever striving
with and for him, lie early gave his
life to Christ and joined the Lord's
navy. This is no reflection on the
branch of service that he joined, but
for fer some emotional correspond-
may jump on me, I would say
that this name for the Missionary
Baptist church was suggested by a
story told on an old Methodist preach-
who after an earnest sermon was
calling for all who had accepted
to come and join the army of
the Lord. They were coming right
and left and he was giving them the
right hand and shouting glory, when
one earnest fellow come up and said,
want to Join that army, but I
want be a member of the Missionary
Baptist The old preacher
gave him his hand but said,

Yes, Jack Mills was a skilled ma-
on the great ocean of the Chris-
life, one that faced many storms
and one that met on every hand
that seemed almost
mountable. But with Christ as his
admiral he met and surmounted them
all. In early life he had that
ration that tells us that we are all
brothers and that the great
is our Father. So in early manhood
he climbed that winding stairway
that consists of three, five and seven
steps, and leads into the inner court
of that temple wherein sit together
brethren who should meet upon a
level and are taught to ever strive
to emulate that master builder whose
designs on his trestle board show
brotherly love, kindness and charity
to all mankind, and especially to the
widow and orphan. Yea, he walked
through the valley and the shadow
Of death, and if he feared, he was
comforted by his pilot, assured
him that though he should die for
the right, that though the strong
hand of the Tribe of
he should be raised again. And
so he was, and in every conquest he
came out victorious.
But there came a time in Jack
life soon after he had gone
through this experience that touched
his heart more deeply, fired his zeal
to greater effort, and that was
tined to test his faith more severely
than any thing that had ever come
to him previously. So we leave him
here to meditate and to pray over
the lessons that he must learn from
the theme suggested which came
his observation by the wayside
of the road that he has so successful-
traveled.
At some future time we may tell our
readers how Jack was led to
do one of the noblest and
best works of any man in our be-
loved South land.
Next time Eugene will appear on
the scene.

ATLANTIC HOTEL NOW CROWDED
First Regiment S. C. National Guards
To Arrive August 3rd.
MOREHEAD CITY, N. C, August
With the seashore season yet young
and the large August crowd
not yet arrived, the season at the
Atlantic Hotel, Morehead City, has
been a most propitious one. The
service In the hotel is now above
criticism. Every comfort and con-
is provided by the manage-
Especially is this true of the
dining room service. The menu is
full of the delicacies of the sea and
the truck farms nearby.
One of the earliest patrons of the
hotel, known to all North Carolina,
told the writer a few days ago that
the present service at the Atlantic
Hotel is better than at any time
the past seasons.
The social life at Atlantic is
more attractive than during any
season. The very large crowd
and the presence there of
many guests from the South and es-
Virginia, has added much
to the gaiety of the social life. Of
course dancing in the mammoth ball
room every morning and evening is
one of the chief attractions.
Sailing and surf bathing parties,
too, are very popular. No place can
boast of better sailing facilities, either
upon inland water or upon old ocean.
The guests at the Atlantic have the
choice of safe surf bathing or still
water bathing in Bogue Sound.
The fishing was never better. The
daily fishing parties report
usual good luck, and the followers of
Isaac Walton are many. Every
fishing tackle and bait, are pro-
by the boatmen for a reason-
able charge.
The first regiment, North Carolina
national guards, made up of military
companies, hospital corps, etc., from
the western part of the state will
arrive at Camp Glenn, Thursday
nine, August 3rd, for a ten
encampment at Morehead City, and
many flatly fishing parties report
the Atlantic Hotel this week.
A military given in honor
of the first regiment, will be danced
in the ball room of the Atlantic Ho-
tel Saturday evening, August 5th.

The Decline Cotton.
In explanation of the recent very
considerable decline the price of
cotton until fall contract deliveries,
The New Orleans Picayune says that
the fall to the 11-cent mark has been
based primarily on the expectation of
a very large crop this season, all in-
pointing to the yield ex-
all previous records. In the
fact of such prospects, and with
spinners stubbornly refusing to
chase at the higher figures, there was
no preventing the break that has
curred, although it is probable that
values have really declined to a fig-
below the level actually warrant-
ed by the crop outlook, owing to the
war scare has resulted from
the Morocco complications. The
Picayune says it is rather unusual for
prices to decline as much as they
have recently so far in advance of
the actual marketing of the new crop.
There are still many dangers that
the crop has to face before it can
be said that the yield is secure. De-
during August, boll
weevils and other pests and a
fall may damage the present
brilliant prospects, in which event
present prices are sure to look ex-
low. The war scare may
soon subside in which event every
unfavorable report as to the crop will
furnish a reason for an improvement
in prices. While a large crop of cot-
ton is highly desirable this season so
as to restore prosperity in the
branch of the industry,
there is no sound reason for expect-
a decline that would be

TO RECEIVE ROYAL WELCOME.
This Government Will Show Him
Every Courtesy.
NEW YORK, July the
exception of a few minor details the
arrangements for the reception and
entertainment of Admiral Count He-
Togo, chief of the Navy Staff
of Japan and the hero of the great
sea fight of May and 1904, in
which he annihilated the Russian
fleet in the Strait of arc

Togo sailed today from Liver-
pool on the Cunard Liner Lusitania,
which is expected to arrive here
next Friday, August During the
trip across the ocean Admiral Togo
will occupy the royal suit on the
magnificent steamer.
For several weeks the State and
the Navy department have been busy
arranging the plans for the
and entertainment of Admiral
Togo during the seventeen days he
will spend in the United States as
the guest of the nation. President
Taft appointed Capt. T. M. Potts, U.
S. N., as the official representative
of the government and as the escort
of honor of Admiral Togo during his
in the country. Commander
I. J. N., the naval of
the Embassy in Washing-
ton, will act as the official
of the Japanese Government.
The arrangements for the reception
of Admiral Togo upon his arrival in
New York depends to some extent
upon the time of the arrival of the
Lusitania. Should the steamer
rive at night, the formal reception
will be postponed until the follow-
morning. It is hoped, however,
that the big liner will arrive at day-
time. In that, case the saluting
guns of Governor's Island will greet
the Admiral with u salute of seven-
es up the Hudson.
Lusitania arrive at night the formal
salute will be postponed until Ad-
Togo visits the army divisional
headquarters on Governor's Island
to return the visit that Major-General
Grant will make to him as official
representative of the army in this
part of the country. Similar honors
will be shown Admiral Togo on the
occasion if his visit to Rear Admiral
E. H. C. U. S. N., the com-
of the Brooklyn Yard,
and by the United States warships
which the Japanese admiral should
visit.
It is safe to say that Admiral Togo
will have little time for rest during
his in the United States.
During his stay in New York one
public function will be followed by
another. Admiral Togo, will be the
guest of honor at special receptions
on Governor's Island, at the Brook-
Navy Yard and other places and,
regardless of a recent order of the
Department, will be given op-
to inspect every part of the
working plants at the Yard,
as well as every one of the warships,
completed or in course of
that are at present in the yard.
In with the itinerary
planned, Admiral Togo, when leaving
New York, will proceed to Washing-
ton, where the most elaborate
for his reception and en-
have been made. The
visitor will be entertained by
dent Taft, Secretary of the Navy
Meyer, Secretary of State Knox and
other distinguished officials. He will
visit Mount Vernon and place a wreath
upon the tomb of Washington, and
will be taken on one of the naval
yachts for an inspection of the great
Indian Head proving grounds. Con-
appropriated to defray
the expenses of entertaining the dis-
visitor.
Admiral Togo will remain in Wash-
four days and part of one day
will be devoted to a visit to the Naval
Academy at Annapolis, Md., where
special honors will be shown the
great sea fighter. From Washington
Admiral Togo will return to New
York, to fulfill engagements with the
Japan Society of America and the
Nippon Club of New York, whose
guest of honor he will be. After a
brief visit to Admiral
Togo will visit Boston, from whence
he will proceed to Niagara Falls,
where he will cross the line into
Canada, to continue his further tour
westward on Canadian soil. He will
make stops at several large cities in
Canada and will be by
the official representatives of the Do-
minion Government on his way to
Vancouver, B. C from which port
he expects to sail for Japan about
the end of August.

it does not mention the

PITT COUNTY'S OPPORTUNITY.
Mr. Joe King, editor of the Dur-
ham Herald, who was In Greenville
Monday, dropped in for a talk with
The Reflector man and had something
to say about things he observed down
this way. It was the first time he
was ever in Greenville, though he has
visited the county before. He was
favorably Impressed with the town and
greatly admired our new court house
and the Training school.
In speaking of our country roads
he said the people ought to be
ed of their condition, when they could
be made good roads so easily and with
comparatively such little cost. He
traveled the section of sand-clay road
est of the A. C. L. railroad track,
ind declared it was an ideal piece of
and that from what he saw Pitt
could have all the roads just
is good as that piece at small cost.

the desired result more surely than

est can center upon these none too
quickly. The limit of agricultural
trade for the county seat is being
constantly narrowed by development
in the country districts, and Green-
ville cannot continue to look to this
for its main dependence. It is
that the country is developing
and the progress of the town should
keep pace with it.

The coast resorts on the western
coast have a different way of
from some of the stories
written about resorts over here on
the Atlantic. For instance, The
Greensboro Record is telling that
women went bathing at Seattle as
naked as the day they came into the
world. The Record ought not to have
printed that down here in North Car-

Wrightsville losing him. We would
not be surprised to read that he had

The advantages of the consolidation

from time to time by contributors to

But a new solution of the perplexing
question has been advanced by the
Oklahoma City Times. The
Times states in its editorial columns

as a manufacturing town and
trade center, it is certainly time some
steps were being taken with that ob-
in view. Heretofore the town's
main for trade has been
the surrounding agricultural section,
but the growth and development of
nearby towns in the county, all of
them drawing their share of trade,
has quite naturally narrowed the
that Greenville can command.
With this condition it is important
that Greenville should look to the es-
of manufacturing enter-
prises that will create local business.
There are all desirable opportunities
here for factories, such as
sites and raw material, and
these should be taken advantage of.
Greenville needs the manufacturing
enterprises and our people should go
after them.

ABOUT WINTER COVER CROPS.
State Agent Hudson Offers Timely
Suggestions on These.
A winter cover crop is one of the
most important factors in southern
farming, especially hill farming. A
system of poor farming has so greatly
exhausted the humps in the majority
of the fields as to make it well nigh
impossible to prevent their further de-
by the heavy rains of winter
and early spring, which carry off
much of the valuable elements left,
onto the bottoms, and into the streams.
Nature, always resourceful, has fur-
plants which may be
used to restore the depleted soils.
These winter cover crops will hold our
loose soils to place, and where
growth is obtained, can be turned
under to add humus to the soil. The
sand hills and other loose soils can
largely be prevented from leaching if
heavy cover crops are turned under
for a few years. The statement may
be verified by taking new land where
the plant roots and vegetable mold are
still in it, or the same may be found
in sod land where run to pasture for a
series of years and brought back into
cultivation. No washing occurs here
after the heaviest rains. A good cover
crop will not only prevent washing
and add humus to the soil, but if
clovers or vetches are used there will
be nitrogen collected from the air and
stored in the soil during winter, as
peas and beans do in summer. The
The plants most suitable for cover
crops are rye, vetch, crimson and bur
clover. Conditions, of course, must
determine which to use.
Rye.
Rye is one of the old standard winter
cover crops and has been used very
extensively in some sections. It has
the advantage in that it is generally
is easily planted, will grow
almost at any season, will grow on
the poorest soils, seed are usually
cheap, and it does not require extra
care in the way of inoculation as is
the case with the legumes. It can be
sown in the middles of the corn or
cotton at last cultivation or if not con-
to sow at this time it can be
done a little later in the fall. When
sown early it gives a better cover for
the soil and also some good grazing
for the stock. Where practicable,
however, as would be on the corn land,
it is better to turn under stalks and
other growth and plant rye on good
seed bed. It is also a good plan where
the soil will grow it, to mix vetch with
the rye, about one bushel of rye to one-
fourth bushel of vetch, using a bushel
of the mixture per acre. It is better
to drill seed, especially where planted
in middles of corn or cotton. It is
claimed that the variety known as
which was imported by the
Agricultural Department, is best suit-
ed to South Carolina and adjacent
states. There are other good native
varieties which can be had at a fair
price.
Oats.
Oats may be used instead of rye in
many instances, and the same general
rule for preparation, planting, and
after treatment, may be followed as
for rye. One-half to two and one-half
bushels of seed should be used per
acre when planted alone; one-half
bushels and one-fourth bushel of the
vetch when combined. Rust-proof oat
seed gives the beat results in nearly
every part of the South. Unless the
to get sufficient growth for the most
valuable cover crop. Stable manure
applied broadcast at time of planting
is good for this, or the following per
acre. Acid phosphate pounds;
cotton seed meal pounds; and
of potash pounds, thorough-
mixed and applied at time of plant-
Clovers
Until lands become more fertile and
adapted to these crops, the best
with them can be obtained only
by making a good preparation and by
giving some special care in seeding
inoculating the soil.
Preparation.
Turn few inches deeper than it
been previously plowed. If there
rain, after this, before time of
plan ting, a roller should be run to
firm the seed bed. These crops can
sown la both corn cotton mid-
where clean by scattering seed
broadcast and running sweep or
lightly to cover. Entire success,
however, need not be looked for by
this method of seeding, though some
splendid results were reported from it
last season. The corn lands can be
put in fine condition by using a cut-
away or disc to cut stalks and
turn top soil. Sow seed and cover
with harrow.
Fertilizers.
The clovers and vetch will need
fertilizers to get satisfactory early
growth. For this purpose stable ma-
stands first as it not only adds
fertility but carries the bacterial
so essential on soils first
planted to these crops. An application
at time of sowing of pounds per
cent acid, pounds potash,
and pounds cotton seed meal or
dried blood per acre will be good. The
addition of the small amount of
fertilizer will aid in giving the
young plants a vigorous start. When
there happens to be any acidity of the
soil, air-slacked lime at the rate of
pounds, per acre, should be
plied at time of preparation.
Time for Sowing
The best time for sowing crimson
or bur clover is just as early in the
fall as danger of summer killing of
young plants is later
September first. Vetch can be sown
much later, though the earlier plant-
does better.
Amount of Seed.
About pounds of crimson clover
seed per acre should be used;
pounds bur clover in bur, or pounds
cleaned seed; pounds vetch seed
when sown with bushel oats which
plan is always best if the soil is good
enough to allow it, pounds is sown
alone. Bur clover will be found to
grow better as a rule from the seed
planted without bulling. The
germ appears to be carried
with the bur. All clover seed should
be covered lightly; use roller if the
soil is dry at planting time.
Inoculation.
To get a satisfactory crop of crimson
clover, bur clover, or vetch the first
year, the soil must be inoculated.
Stable manure apparently does this in
some localities but the safest plan is
to procure soil from a few inches be-
low the surface, where the bacteria
are more numerous, from a field which
has already grown the crop, scattering
broadcast over the newly planted acre.
Two or three bushels per acre will
answer, while more would be better.
The United States Department of
Agriculture will furnish inoculating
material free for any of these crops,
to any who make application, full in-
as to the use being sent. It
TRUE FOR
ADOPTS STRONG RESOLUTIONS.
Report of Educational Committee at
That the Farmers Union of North
Carolina rings true in the matter of
better education, is shown by the
strong resolutions, published below,
that were adopted at the recent State
Convention held in Salisbury.
Your committee on education asks
leave to submit the following re-
First. We feel that the union has
cause to rejoice over the fact that it
has been helpful in widening and
deepening an interest in industrial
and technical education in our state.
Our union holds that farm boys and
farm girls have an indisputable right
not only to education in the general
branches of the ordinary curriculum,
but to the specific instructions that
will fit them to excel on the farm and
in the farm home, and enable them
to live in greater comfort, intellect-
enjoyment and in greater wealth.
We hold that education properly
will accomplish these things,
and call on the members of the locals
and on the county organizations to
strive mightily to place such an ed-
Within the reach of every
North Carolina child.
Second. By the aid of our union,
a law enabling each county that so
desired it, to establish a farm life
school, was framed by the last leg-
Two counties have already
taken advantage of this law and
counties are now waging
campaigns to establish such schools.
We ask this convention to enjoin all
its officers and members to join
heartily in these campaigns and put
these invaluable schools on a per-
basis. We also recommend
that this convention re-affirm its be-
lief that all our rural schools should
teach the fundamental principles of
good farming and domestic science
to our children and urge its
in each county to see that this
is done. We also urge that room be
made in our schools for these sub-
by such economy of time in
other subjects as will leave time for
these branches that are so vital to
young people who are to live on the
farm, and that in whatever sub-
it be possible, text books es-
adapted to rural needs be
used.
Third. We recommend as the
sense of this body that every effort
be made to employ for the
of our children the very best
equipped teachers that can be found,
and that salaries large enough to
command such teachers be paid.
Fourth. Since under our school
law the county superintendent or
schools can either make or mar the
efficiency of our schools, we
mend that this officer be employed
for the whole of his time; that he
devote his entire strength to this
office, and that if possible, he be a
tent teachers are needed for the
teaching of agriculture in our rural
life schools and in common schools,
we recommend that the institutions
which are fitting such teachers be
to give them free tuition,
provided they obligate themselves to
teach for at least two years.
Sixth. ask that our school of-
and our members heartily co-
Operate with the United States gov-
in it's conduct of corn clubs
for our boys and of canning clubs
for our girls.
Seventh. The value of scientific
and intensive farming, as taught in
farm life schools and agricultural
colleges, has been fully demons
this year in the general
that has prevailed throughout the
state, good crops being the result
where these methods have been em-
ployed. We, therefore, these
practices to the farmers of our state.

Polite and courteous treatment is
an obligation we owe to those with
whom we come in contact. But apart
from the fact that polite and consider-
ate treatment is right and proper, this
quality is a most valuable asset, if
one chooses to consider it only from
that viewpoint. One who is cheer-
fully and unaffectedly genial, polite
and kindly not only makes a good

this kind are not uncommon, and not

If the Republican senate and
dent Taft will permit the bill to be-

prices. The bill is so framed as to
be a particular boon to the poor, for
the greatest reductions are made on

Democratic bill is in particularly
striking contrast to the

Democrats Oppose Taft Censorship.
An important measure pending be-
fore congress is House Resolution
No. introduced by Congressman
James T. Lloyd, of Missouri. The
measure is aimed particularly at the
action of the Taft administration in
prohibiting postal employees from
organizing, and the still more re-
markable Taft policy of denying civil
service employees the right to
congress, or even to give
of congress information until it
has first been by their

When the Operator Says
When the operator gives you the
report it does not necessarily
mean that some one is talking over
the telephone called. The line may
be busy when there is no one in of-
or house and when there is no
possible way for the telephone to be
actually in use.
It may be that some one is trying
to call the same telephone, should
you or anyone else call at that time
the operator would get the
signal and so report. Oftentimes
servants use the telephone or answer
calls when no member of the family
is at home, and in such cases the
report is given.
The line is on a duplex
if either telephone on the line
in use. The line is on a
straight line telephone when the ex-
tension station is in use.
The report is a source
of annoyance to many telephone users
who do not understand that the line
can be busy if no one is trying to
get the number, even if it is known
that there is nobody at home.
We'd like to have you bear these
things in mind, particularly during
these hot months, when all of us are
annoyed by the heat and easily
We are taking proper precautions to
make our service as near perfect as
possible. Our operators are

Watching Motion Pictures.
The threat of the striking bakers
to fight their employers by revealing
through the medium of motion
the view of a large bakery in
operation suggests a
use for this device and marks its
progress into one of the fields of
which its inventor recently spoke. Mr.
Edison looks for the best results of
the motion picture as a pedagogical
in the public schools.
What would follow the introduction
of motion pictures into the schools
as a means of education Children
would undeniably be interested in
such a novel method of learning a
lesson. There would be no tedium
connected with this phase of the day's
work. How long this interest would
continue is not nearly so assured, but
familiarity with the motion pictures
would deprive them of that element
of entertainment once sufficiently
strong to attract children into the
halls. If the exhibitors are still to
profit after the motion pictures are
introduced into the schools it will
be necessary for them to offer some-
thing very different from the pro-
gram arranged for the children at
work.
It may be that the National Board
of Censorship will be compelled to
interfere with the efforts of the ex-
to put forward pictures that
shall be sufficiently sensational to
attract spectators to whom the
have become a matter of daily
school routine.
It is due to the efforts of the Na-
Board of Censorship that the
pictures have been made inoffensive
from a moral point of view. The
vulgarity and bad has
proved impossible, otherwise the
of a drowning man could not
have been shown in public. In case
motion pictures are ever made a part
of the curriculum of the public
schools a rigid and efficient scrutiny
will be more necessary than ever.

Pin COUNTY FARMERS
EDUCATIONAL MEETING
DISCUSS INTERESTING MATTERS
Large Attendance of Formers From
All Sections.
A large number of farmers from
all sections of the county were here
today to attend the educational in-
that had been arranged by
Congressman John H. Small. Owing
to the lack of sufficiently large hall
for such a crowd, the auditorium of
the Training school was kindly tend-
for the use of the farmers and
the meeting was held there.
The meeting was called to order
by Senator R. R. Cotten and Con-
Small spoke first on the
purpose of the these educational meet-
for farmers and the benefit to
be derived from them.
Mr. A. G. Smith, of the government
agricultural department, was intro-
and spoke on the subject of
He especially pointed
out the need of lands being well
drained, the expense attached to open
ditches and the far greater
it would be in the saving of
both time and expense by a good sys-
of under drainage. Every farm
can and should have a complete sys-
of drainage. It is a problem the
farmers must work out for themselves
without looking for the government
to drain their lands for them. A
neighborhood or district drainage out-
let, with a system of tiling emptying
in to this, was recommended as pro-
the best drainage for the farm.
The farmers manifested much in-
in what Mr. Smith said on this
important subject.
Prof. C. L. Goodwin was next intro-
and spoke on the control of
fertility and products. He showed
that conditions are largely in the
hands of the farmers and they can
largely increase the yield of their
crops by the proper soil fertility. The
root of a plant is its most important
part, therefore is entitled to most
attention. The work of making a
crop be done in the soil down
where the roots of the plant must de-

YOUTHS CHARGED WITH MURDER
VANCEBORO ITEMS.
I in mediately After The Crime They
Visited Birmingham.
GADSDEN, Ala., Aug.
Thompson, Joseph Wiley
and C. F. each of
whom belongs to a respectable
in this section, were given a
hearing today on the charge
of murdering Nicholas the
German hermit miner who was rob-
bed and killed at several
weeks ago. The murder was one of
the most in the history of
this country. The victim was beaten
to death the night before he had in-
tended leaving for his old home in
Germany. The body, decapitated, was
hidden under his cabin where it was
found the following day. Immediate-
after the murder the four youths
suspected of the crime visited
and are said to have spent
considerable money. Within a day or
two they disappeared. Two of the
were found in Shelby
county and the other two were
rested in Arkansas.
and give sustenance to that
which comes above ground.
The soil must be well supplied with
plant food if the plant is to produce
bountifully. The roots of the plant
must have air water and humus
must be retained in the soil, and these
can be largely controlled by the
method of cultivation and the proper
use of cover crops. This address was
also exceedingly interesting.
This afternoon there was an ad-
dross by Prof. I. O. on farm
demonstration work, followed by Dr.
Joseph Hyde Pratt on good roads and
the organization of a county good
roads association. Owing to the late-
of the hour of the afternoon
meeting fuller reference to it cannot
be made today.
Has a Copy of Mohammedan Koran.
Mr. J. R. showed us
Tuesday afternoon a copy of the Mo-
Koran, which he has at
his store. It is the first copy of this
great book the writer ever saw, and
doubtless few, if any, of our readers
have seen one. It is made by hand
throughout, the paper being hand-
made rice product, and the plates
from which it is printed are all made
from hand copy, decorated. Its cover
is of the lapped style beautifully
embellished with gold.
Another Man Dead.
It is rumored that another colored
man was found dead in a ditch near
Chocowinity, Tuesday evening, sup-
posed to have been one in the row
that took place on the excursion train
coming from New Bern to Greenville.
The excursion train left here about
o'clock Tuesday night to return
to New Bern, and it is said another
row occurred on the way back in
which a colored woman was badly
cut.
