The Carolina Home and and The Eastern Reflector. 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 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.

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.

ORE OF NOBLEST MEN 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, can stand over there, my brother, you want to go with the 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. Be 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.

THE MOTHER, THE CHILD AND THE SCHOOL IMPORTANT SUBJECTS. All club women, mothers and teachers will read with interest the expression of opinions given below pen of Mrs. R. R. Cotten, North Carolina of Woman's 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 able to the Is the song written in honor of Cal- of the Chicago White Detroit seems to have it on all the American League teams with the ex- of New York.

Ad- 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.

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. If the people of Durham had the of building sand-clay as cheaply as you people here l Pitt can build them, we would soon over the entire county with good Up there we are building with and have much grading to o while down here you have ally no grading and can construct sand-clay at less than one-fourth cost of our roads.

Nothing will bring the desired result more surely than manufacturing enterprises and inter- 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. ---------o 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.

Greenville is determined to hold her position of being the best of the eastern markets. Texas prohibitionists are not dis- heartened over their recent defeat and have already begun preparations for another campaign next year. They will also call on the state legislature soon to convene in special session, to investigate the large expenditure of money that was used in the campaign to defeat prohibition. If the goes to the bottom it will find that the liquor interests of the try poured out the money for that purpose. Greenville has a new house and its manager is named Sparrow.

COMPETITION AHA CONSOLIDATION.

City could not stand for that story of a water spout being seen off Wrightsville Beach, and comes up with five water spouts, all in one afternoon. There is no more delightful travel- in modern times than by water, especially if it be on such elegant floating palaces as the Chesapeake Line operates between Norfolk and Baltimore. Charlotte knows how to make the best of even the worst situation. The way the city went about to over- come the water famine was a big ad- of its enterprise. The Greensboro News must not get over the handsome new build- it is soon to occupy. Give Bob Phillips a room that will hold him down and all will be well. Greenville's excellent health rec- during the very trying warm weather and excessive is no doubt attributed largely to the purity of the city's water supply. While there has been some sickness, as there always is at all seasons, the health of the people is above the aver- age. The ordinance passed by the board of aldermen of Greenville, and which goes into effect August 1st, that dogs on the street unless muzzled or tied are a nuisance, is something of which canine owners should take due no- and govern themselves accord- The Raleigh News and Observer says man will pay more tax with higher assessment and lower tax That much is true, and no one could complain if such a existed.

The The is sounding around Wilmington. Here's wishing the remnant of the boys who wore the gray a glorious time at their re- union. The Greensboro Telegram has changed from a morning to an after- noon paper, thus joining the class that gives today's news today.

The advantages of the consolidation of newspapers where competition proves ruinous have been set forth from time to time by contributors to the columns of The American Press. But a new solution of the perplexing question has been advanced by the Oklahoma City Times. The Times states in its editorial columns that locally there are too many papers and that the advertisers of the city should withdraw their patronage from the papers that they can best spare, thus forcing them to cease publication The Times concludes its novel rec- as follows in an appeal to the advertisers of the three or at least two of the local papers and build the remaining ones up so that they will cover the town at less cost to the advertiser and that their owners may make enough money to publish a creditable sheet. is up to the advertisers.

Kill, we It seems to us that Oklahoma City affords a striking instance of the of consolidation, and we hope that this means will be resorted to rather than the more summary suggested by the can Press. There is not a doubt that one good newspaper well patronized is worth far more to an ordinary town than several poor papers that barely eke out an existence and take up more time complaining about their town than in boosting More papers than a town can support also makes it harder for the business men of the town, in that where they could concentrate their advertising in one paper and do enough of it to be they yield to the entreaty are giving the other fellow an advertisement and ought to give me and have to scatter this into such that it is of little benefit to themselves or the papers. FACTORIES ARE NEEDED. 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.

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. H. D. Chairman P. E. SHAW. R.

The Carolina Home and Eastern Reflector. RAILROAD TAX VALUATION. OUR WEEKLY LETTER THE INDEPENDENCE. Administration Afraid of Light Turned On. WASHINGTON, step toward carrying out campaign pledges was taken by the majority of the house of representatives when it adopted a cotton schedule which greatly reduces the tax on all kinds of cotton goods. If the Republican senate and dent Taft will permit the bill to be- come a law, the public will be as- sured of substantial reductions in prices. The bill is so framed as to be a particular boon to the poor, for the greatest reductions are made on cottons used by the middle classes and the poor. This feature of the Democratic bill is in particularly striking contrast to the rich law, which levies the lowest rates on the grades of cottons used by the wealthy and the highest tax on the cottons used by the poor. 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 The constitution guarantees to every citizen of the United States the right to petition congress. The Lloyd resolution occupies the novel role, therefore, of having for its purpose the restoration to govern- employees of rights they are en- titled to under the constitution, but which rights have been taken away Speaker Champ Clark believes that the United States should grant to the for their good and our Further- more, Mr. Clark advocates early ac- on the subject. This is in con- to the attitude of President Taft, who takes he position the should not be given independence within the time of the present gen- which the inter- a meaning never. Here is what Speaker Clark recent- wrote to a friend on the should be given their independence guaranteed by the States and such other powers as are willing to join us. If no other powers are willing to join us, I think our own guarantee would be sufficient but I am for freeing them regard- less of what the other powers do. My friend Judge Cline, of Indiana, has introduced a bill providing for their independence. I think we will pass it next winter, and then it will be up to the senate and the Why Not a Roosevelt Investigation During the present by the Democratic house of the Republican administrations for the last decade, it be out of place to look into the episode.

Up to 1887 they were above per cent but from 1888 to 1900 they were between 1-2 per cent and per cent. Since then there has been improvement, though 3-4 per cent has never been quite reached.

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.

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. New York Sun. .
