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

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-

this country. The victim was beaten
to death the night before he had in-

Germany. The body, decapitated, was
hidden under his cabin where it was
found the following day. Immediate-
after the murder the four youths

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

use of cover crops. This address was

here this season, was the one play-

Tide Water League. He is a pitcher
from the ground up, though that did
not reach far up in his case, and
simply holds the game In his hand,
giving balls and strikes with the
most precision just as he pleased to

he fanned them out, or let them fill
the bases for enthusiasm and then
shut them off just when they thought
the home plate was in reach. He
was simply great.
Both sides then came up and went
down with blanks until the fourth,
when Greenville made one more.
So it went again until the eighth when
Greenville got one more, making a
total of while the visitors fought
to the end without getting a man any
nearer home than third base.
The sensational run of the game
was made by Lutterloh in the eighth.
He was on third and just made up

in home. Floyd, short
catcher, spied him, and began to close
him in. Closer and closer the catcher

in the meantime. He took advantage
of this and run right over the catcher
to the home plate.

STATE OF
Crop Commodities
Higher.
There is still considerable
in trade conditions, due to
cautiousness and facts of crop dam-
age, but basic conditions and the ad-
of the years tend of work for
a little further improvement. While
merchants continue to feel their way,
sentiment as to fall trade is
slightly, and at some of the
wholesale dealers have done a
rather better business with outside
merchants, who are beginning to
come to market. This refers, of course
to buying for future delivery, for as
a matter of fact, current trade still
reflects the influence of midsummer
conditions. Southern, and to a less
extent southwestern, merchants,
whose feelings are buoyed by pros-
of a record cotton crop, are
more disposed to place orders for
future use, and as a result dry goods,
clothing and shoes are in a little
better demand. In sections where
cereal crops are the mainstays, con-
reigns partly because of
too much rain close to spring-wheat
harvest time, poor oats crop pros-
and impaired corn crop
Even in the South, the
Carolinas for instance, severe

operations in mills, and water
has carried from a distance to afford
some relief. Retail trade in season-
able goods is quiet, though clearance

is little or no re-
order business. Commodity prices,
particularly for cereals, have worked
toward higher levels, primarily be-
cause of a shading of crop prospects,
domestic and foreign. Wheat, corn,
oats, hogs, cattle, eggs, butter,
toes and cotton are all dearer. Cot-
ton has rallied after a rather pro-
longed decline of cents, and

of further damage to corn and some

The following telling to Grow

Kansas Experiment Station Bulletin,
No. will prove of interest to the
wheat growers of North Carolina.
The results of this experiment
with an experience the writer
had in breaking land for wheat near
Hillsboro, N. C, several years ago.
Part of the field was broken in July.
On account of the land being so dry
and hard the balance of field was not
plowed until October, just before sow-
wheat. The entire field was plow-
ed then and worked well with a cut-
away harrow. The strip that was
broken in July was for its
extra growth throughout the season
and I think yielded two or three times
as much as the land lying within four
feet of that which was not broken
October. However, let the Kan-
experiment speak for itself.

After plowing all three

Of these methods, the early deep

made a yield of 33.46 bushels per
acre. Of the plots plowed in August

of 32.68 bushels per acre, as com-
pared with 27.74 bushels for the plot

The above experiment was made
during a dry season. If the seasons
had been favorable there would prob-
ably have not been such a difference
in yields.
From the above I gather that in
the South v j can make our largest
yields of wheat by breaking the land
deep in June or July and sowing to
peas or soy beans. Cut as early as
possible for hay and immediately disk
the land well. Keep it well until
time to sow the wheat so as to con-
serve the moisture.
I have no doubt but by observing
the above we can double our present
yield of wheat. In fact, even at this
date we can materially increase the
yield by at once plowing and disking
the land and keeping it worked until
time to seed the wheat.

Precious is our dear old Winterville,
How she thrills our heart with pride;
Gathering round her peace, good-will,
Naught but joy can e'er betide.
Sacred are the thoughts that cluster
Round her loved and hallowed halls;
Great the love for one another,
Kindled warm within her walls.
Fresh in memory, rich in story,
Time shall not efface her name;
When our heads are bent and hoary,
Yet shall we uphold her fame.

In the very fact that as yet South-

ASTORIA, August com-
of the 10th anniversary
of the arrival on the Pacific coast of
the expedition sent from New York
by John Jacob Astor, the United
States Army and Navy, the State of
Oregon and the city of Astoria joined
today in the formal inauguration of
what promises to be one of the big-
celebrations of its kind ever in
this part of the country . The
will continue an entire month.
Soldiers and sailors, business men,
school children, Indians, public of-
and other representatives of
all the States embraced in what was
formerly known as the
will participate in pageants
demonstrations on land and water,
historical parades, memorial
and monument
in commemoration of the
within a century of
undiscovered peopled by a
few hundred roving Indians, into
prosperous States with millions of
white inhabitants, the building of rail-
ways, irrigation works, towns and
cities; the development of complex
and highly differentiated industries,
the conversion of vast areas of
productive plains into gardens,
and grain fields; the creation of
hundreds of millions of wealth.
The various shows, and there is a
different one scheduled for every day
of the celebration, will be held in the
open forest among the hills which
lie back of Astoria. One of the feat-
will be a reproduction of the old
fort and settlement founded by the
men of the original Astor expedition.
Indians of the Northwest will take
part in a historical pageant and in
other festivities.
One of the features of the
will be the holding of the big
meet of the Pacific Coast Amateur
Association,, which will take place
August and A rowing regatta
will be another of the attractions. A
convention of the Oregon Develop-
League is expected to attract
hundreds of visitors. A band
will bring together brass bands
from all over the Northwest, in ad-
to an Indian band made up of
members of the tribes
the reaches of the Columbia River.
August will be known as Astor
Day, on which occasion a statue of
John Jacob Astor will be unveiled
with appropriate exercises.
The settlement of Astoria by the
Astor expedition, which the
is to commemorate, was the
first permanent settlement in the far
Northwest and gave the United States
its strongest claim to the Oregon
country. Though the British took
possession of the Astoria fort in the
war of 1812 and renamed the place
Fort George, the place restored to the
United States after the treaty of peace
with American claims of settlement
unimpaired.
John Jacob Astor was the driving
force in exploration and settlement
of th. new country and the men who
did more than any one else to save
to the Union the territory now em-
braced in the States of Oregon,
Washington and Idaho. Measured by
those of today, the project of Astor
far surpasses those of any latter day
of trade, transportation or
finance. He planned a real winning
of the West, a peaceful conquest of a
great region to which the nation's
title was doubtful, the establishment
of a long chain of trading stations that
would blaze the way for civilized man
and open the door of opportunity for
countless millions, and beyond the
West itself he reached out to give
America the trade of China and
the control of the Pacific.
A fine ship, the was equip-
for the Astor expedition for the
far Northwest, and on September
1810, she sailed from New York. After
many perilous adventures in the
hazardous voyage around Cape Horn
and up the Pacific coast the ship
rived off the mouth of the Columbia
River on March 1811. The weather
was and eight days
the company's headquarters on the
Pacific.
A fortified post was built, the Stars
Stripes were raised and the set-
was named Astoria. Had the
Americans made their settlement but
a few months later, the British, who
had several expeditions in the field,
would have planted the first claims
of occupation in large part of the
region of Oregon and Washington
and probably would have retained it
as their own.
Warning to Parents.
Of all the lamentable things to be
observed in during the course
of a day, there is nothing that makes
a greater impression upon us than the
fact that the very young boys of the
town, between the ages of and
years of age, are rapidly becoming
criminals. And this state of affairs is
not so much the fault of the boys
themselves, although they are, of
course, to blame, but the greater res-
rests upon the shoulders
of the parents.
There is a number of stores in the
city where these boys collect, mostly
about years of age. They appear
there early in the morning, in fact
just after breakfast and with the ex-
of a few minutes intermission
for dinner they may be found there
until a late hour in the evening, of-
times o'clock and probably later.
They absorb more filth and dirt on
the street than their parents
exists. It is almost impossible
for one unacquainted with the con-
to have any clear conception
of the enormous amount of filth that
can penetrate a boy's brain at some
of their in town.
This condition is not at all over-
drawn. A condition such as
ed, only possibly worse, really does
exist. And as has been stated, the
parents are responsible. No doubt
if asked, some time during the day
or evening, as to the whereabouts of
their boy they would be unable to
say. Fighting, lying and
with evil and immoral
ions, what will their ultimate end be
That is perfectly obvious. Stealing,
drinking and then a term of years in
the reformatory or penitentiary.
Parents, put your boy to work.
Take him off the street. If you can't
find employment for him elsewhere,
get him in the back yard and intro-
duce him to the wood pile and
If not that, something at least that
will keep him at home and away from

Decline In Cotton.
In explanation of the recent very
considerable decline in 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
face of such prospects, and with spin-
stubbornly refusing to purchase
at the higher figures, there was no
preventing the break that has
curred, although it is probable that
values have declined to a figure be-
low the level actually warranted by
the crop outlook owing to the war
scare which has resulted from the
Morocco complications. The
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 the crop
has to face before it can be said that
the yield is secure. Deterioration

are alive to the situation and

Health is the country's greatest as-
set, and he is the greatest
tor of our resources who does the
most to make good health the com-
heritage.
Hookworm infection being general-
consequent upon foot-and -ground-
itch, it naturally follows that poorer
children who are compelled to go
barefooted among unsanitary
should be the ones who
most often become victims to these
remorseless little blood-suckers. With
a thin blood supply, their young
brains cannot respond to teaching,
and their consequent feeling of

of doing nothing, they grow up

southern civilization.

Dr. Styles, if this campaign against
ignorance and shiftlessness he
ed as vigorously for the next ten
years as it has been in the past one,
North Carolina have a
and ruddy manhood that will equal
any in the world.
The writer well remembers the time
when he was a barefooted boy and
had wrestled all summer with the
how terribly hard it was for
him to keep up with his classes in
the fall and winter. It was specially
so as most of the boys parents were
rich and proud enough not to let
their children go barefooted. They
came to the school ruddy and strong,
while he was pale and His
lessons were hard, while to them they
were easy.
This is the reason he and his son,
Dr. A. L. Hyatt, in last July opened
a free clinic every Sunday for the
treatment of all children
who were unable to pay a fee, or had
even the small price to pay for the
medicine. This free clinic will con-
every Sunday as long as there
are any very poor children to be
treated. While Dr. scientific
work and John money
is doing so much for the future men
and women of our state, it is our
hope that other physicians
will take up the same kind of work.
Mr. Rockefeller has the money to do
his part, and is doing it well. We
physicians have as much spare time
as Mr. has, which
might as well spend in doing for the
poor as to waste in idleness.
By buying at wholesale and in
quantities, we are enabled to treat
each case at an expenses considerably
under cents. The consciousness
of having rid a child of worms that
brings to us many times more joy
than we have ever gotten out of any
other investment of like amount.
We hesitated some time before
opening our free clinic, because we
knew that some other physicians
chums and declare that we were do-
would the with their

heart, but for purposes of

Demand for Signed Editorials Opens
Way to Writers.
It appears that the state senate of
New York may qualify for member-
ship in the freak legislation club by
passing a bill requiring every news-
paper editorial to be signed with the
name of the writer.
It is not likely that any bill of this
character could be enacted into law.
If it should be, it would in all prob-
ability come into fatal collision with
the constitutional guarantee of a free
press. It does not readily appear
to the public that, behind the print-
ed word, stands an organization
stronger, more responsible, more
amenable to forced retribution, than
any single individual. It does not
readily sink into public apprehension
that the man thirsting for the name
of the writer generally has good and
sufficient reason for not risking a
passage at arms with the
for which the writer speaks.
In the old days it was possible to
shoot an editor, and by that simple
means to bury his paper in the same
grave. In the journalism of today,
the passing of any particular writer,
however brilliant or forceful, finds
the organization for which he works
superior to his loss. The paper con-

LARGE CROP MEANS LOW PRICE.
The outlook now is that the cot-
ton crop harvested this fall is going
to sell around cents. Last year's
crop sold around cents. The crop
then was small and the price was
proportionately high. That high
price led farmers to increase
acreage for a big crop this year,
which will result in the price being
proportionately low. If this big crop
does sell as low as cents it will
not bring the farmers as much money
as last year's small crop at cents,
hence the making of a large crop
really means loss of money to the
cotton growers. In this connection
the Carolina Union Farmer
This loss would not have been
if Southern farmers had not
yielded to the temptation of 15-cent
cotton. Fifteen-cent cotton was made
possible only by limited production.
If it is a fact that farmers of the
South have brought to themselves

output of cotton by increased acre-
age and heavy application of com-
fertilizers greater portion
of which was bought on they

disaster which they have brought up-

factory, filing cabinet factory, a

Wonder if you could get Green-
ville to take thirty cents worth of in-
in a movement like that. The
business people here apparently sit
still and depend for trade on the
farmers who bring produce here, but
if there is to be much increase in
business it must come through the
establishment of manufacturing en-
that provide employment for
would-be wage earners. Greenville
needs to be showing some activity
along this line.

ELECTION CALLED.
Only a few weeks ago the announce-
was made that the town of
Hickory had raised a fund of
to guarantee the establishment of
factories in that town. The thing
spread all over the country, and
Hickory has since been kept busy,
answering questions and closing
deals for factories. As the Char-
Observer expresses
Already they are car-
and buggy factory, an overall
First Tuesday In October Is The
Day.
Under the act passed by the last
legislature permitting the people of
Greenville township to vote on the
proposition to issue bonds to an
amount not to exceed to build
roads in the township, the board of
county commissioners have named
Tuesday, October 3rd, as the date
upon which this election shall be
held. In the order calling the election
Mr. Warren, Jr., is named as
registrar, and Messrs. E. T. Forbes
and O. W. Harrington judges of
election. A new registration of the
voters of the township is for
this election.
---------o
The county commissioners have
called an election in Greenville town-
ship for Tuesday, October 3rd. to vote
on the question of issuing bonds not
exceeding to build roads in
this township. At this election the
people of the township can decide
for themselves whether or not they
want to build good roads. Those
desiring it can vote for the bonds,
and those opposing can vote against
bonds. A new registration will be
required for this election.
Greenville has the best
of any town in Eastern North
Carolina, but is slow to take
of them. Something greatly
here is concentration of effort.
Get such enterprises as will help the
town, and then support and
age them instead of working against
them. What helps the town helps
everybody in it.
In little more than a week two rail-
roads in this state, the Seaboard Air
Line and the Southern, have had
serious wrecks of passenger trains.
The saying is that such accidents
run in threes, and as two have
come there may be a little
as to where the third will occur.
The article copied from the Kin-
Free Press shows that H.
O and A. L. Hyatt, of that town, have
inaugurated a commendable work in
giving one day each week to the free
treatment of those afflicted with hook-
worm disease. Physicians in other
towns might also do a good service
to the public along this line.
Negroes down in Louisiana are said
to be opposed to being treated for
hookworm on the ground that it
might take away from them the de-
sire to loaf. If it will stop loafing,
there is a good size bunch around
Greenville who ought to be treated
quick.

According to the Wilmington Dis-
patch's way of thinking Mayor Bland,
of Charlotte, was very handy using
the newspapers of that city during
his candidacy, but turned against
them after he got in office. That is
not the first instance of the kind by
many.

According to the papers Senator
of New York, has already
grown tired of the job and longs to
return to the Supreme court bench,
from which he resigned to go to the
senate.
There has been a misunderstand-
between the newspapers and
missioners of Charlotte, and the lat-
shut the door in the face of the
former. And it was all over some-
thing no thicker than water.
If horses could have a say about it,
every one of them would vote for good
roads, likewise the mules.
The Charlotte Observer does not
take much stock in the
movement and gives good argument
to back up its position. It says in-
creased population and desirable
citizens are not to be had that way.

MAINE'S FIGHT
OVER PROHIBITION
MAKES TREMENDOUS STRIDES.
The Campaign Now in Progress Will
Continue One Month Longer.
AUGUSTA, Maine, Aug.
years ago today the Democratic
legislature of the State of Maine en-
acted the first prohibition law against
the liquor traffic, thus setting an ex-
ample of state-wide prohibition which
was not imitated by other common-
wealths until many years later. In
another month, on September 11th of
this year, at a general election, the
voters of Maine will be called upon
to decide whether state-wide
shall remain part of the state's
constitution or not
Since the state of Maine enacted
first prohibition law, prohibition

the war against the liquor
has been taken up and the
movement has met with vary-
; degrees of success. For this
. the battle which is now being
in this state is attracting world-
attention. Maine was the pioneer
prohibition movement and main-
state-wide prohibition con-
longer than any other com-
in the world. It is quite
natural, therefore, that the coming
election is awaited with the most in-
tense interest throughout the world.
It is generally admitted by friends
of prohibition in and outside the
state, that a great deal depends upon
the outcome of the coming election.
In it is believed that the result
of t vote will be of the most vital
u upon the future of the pro-
n movement. If the majority
of t i voters In Maine should decide

Even the opponents of prohibition
are forced to admit that the
are remarkably well organ-
and are putting up a great fight.
The leader of the prohibition cam-
is a woman, Mrs. L. M. N.
Stevens, national president of the W.
C. T. U. She is a Maine woman and
a resident of Portland. She has
fought for prohibition many years,
but she regards the present contest
as the greatest battle of her life.
Under her direction the whole State
was flooded with campaign literature
of the most vigorous nature. She en-
listed the churches, the Sunday
schools, the children and women to
fight for prohibition and brought
speakers from all parts of the United
States and even from Europe, where
prohibition has many staunch sup-
porters.
The campaign is
conducted by the Maine Non-Partisan
Local Government League, which is
composed of men of high standing
and has enlisted the support of four
leading newspapers in the State. The
work of the league is carried on sys-
and thoroughly, but with

thereon as
The story of the last United States
census is coming out, and it shows
that North Carolina is well along to-

The value of the farming lands in
that state in the last decade has in-
creased from in 1900, to

The average value of land increased

commercial fertilizers amounted to
per cent., with the result that
during the last seasons North
Carolina has produced more cotton
to the acre than any other state,
passing even the great big blustering
state of Texas by pounds of lint
cotton to the acre. It is suggested
that as the cotton production is fall-
off Texas, there is a great op-
for the larger cultivation
of the staple in the more northern of
the southern states, and that there
is the opportunity for a largely in-
creased cotton acreage in North Car-

year North Carolina produced
bushels of corn and about
bushels of wheat and oats. Where
so much grain is grown, naturally
there has been a most encouraging
increase in the growing of cattle for
the market and a great development
of the dairying industry. With
pastures in every valley and on
every hilltop, there is practically no
limit that can be placed on the de-

Box of Matches Ignites In Sonic
accountable -Way.
Early Tuesday night there came
near being a at the home of Mr.
W. B. James, on Third street. He
had bought a dozen boxes of matches
that afternoon, and upon going home
placed them in a medicine cabinet on
a mantle in one of the rooms. After
supper the family sat for a while on
the front porch, and just before
o'clock Mr. James went to take a
bath, and reaching the door of the
room in which the matches had been
placed he smelled something burning.
Looking in the room he saw the
cine cabinet on the mantle in a blaze,
and pulling this open he found that
all of the matches had ignited.
How the matches became ignited
cannot be explained. The medicine
cabinet was tight so that it was
possible for mice to get in it, even
if they could get on the mantel. It
may be that medicine in the cabinet
caused such chemical action on the
of the matches as to ignite
them.

The Biggest Cotton Crop on Record.
The Department of Agriculture's
cotton report gives the average as
98.1 of the normal which is a higher
condition for this period of the season
than for many years. The ten year
average for the August l report is
79.4, so that the crop at the present
time is nearly ten points better than
it has been on an average during the
past ten years. In this The New Or-
leans Picayune sees warrant for time
belief of the biggest cotton crop ever
produced. We believe The Picayune
right. It Bays that a month ago
the government statisticians
that average at that time
warranted the expectation of a crop
bales. As the crop con-
is now nearly a full point bet-
than then and a month nearer
maturity, it is reasonable to presume
that the crop may be as as
bales, always presuming,
of course, that conditions from now
on will continue favorable and no
unusually early frost is expected.
With such crop prospects ahead, it is
no wonder that the price of cotton
has declined to practically cents
on plantations for current spot
and that fall deliveries are
close to the mark on
plantations. That there will be an
supply of cotton this year,
barring accidents, now appears
certain, but it is equally
that a liberal supply will be ac-
required to meet the expanding
needs of the world and to restore
plus stocks to reasonable proportions
As to the probable effect on prices
The Picayune is optimistic. It says
that during the past few years of
scarcity and high prices the
public has cut down its takings of
cotton goods to a minimum, and all
surplus stocks of manufactured goods,
as well as raw cotton, have been
nearly If not quite exhausted. At
lower prices the mills will certainly
expand their production and
are equally as certain to make
more extensive purchases of cloth,
while dealers and jobbers will feel
tempted to replenish exhausted re-
serve stocks. There Is therefore,
no reason to fear unreasonably low
prices either for raw cotton or for
the manufactured product. A big
crop will distribute profits more
equitably than has been the case in
recent years. It will also give more
employment to labor throughout the
South, stimulate business for the
transportation companies, financial
institutions and merchants, as well
as bring about a general revival of
industry and commerce over the
entire section. There never was a
time when a large crop of cotton
was so badly

Mr. John Hart's two daughters, of

dent, from Grifton. The meeting was
an enjoyable one.
Especially were we pleased to see
so many young people Saturday. To
my way of thinking, young people
of a religious turn of mind should
strive often to meet with those from
other communities of the same mind,
or they will necessarily be influenced
by the worldly with whom they
It would not be very wrong if the
servants of the Lord were not to at-
tend places where the irreligious
were the ruling spirits.
Mr. sermon of Saturday
was splendid and almost every one
who heard it felt well repaid for the
trouble of attending. His subject was
the Work. He especially
emphasized the fact that the church
was to go preach the gospel.
Mr. C. M. Morton, late of
ton, and a former preacher here, de-
lighted his friends by two good
mons, one Saturday night and one
Sunday morning.
The ladies of the church served
dinner, fashion, both
day and Sunday. This feature of the
meeting was a splendid success.
Every body had enough and some
i was left. I have seldom seen people
enjoy a dinner so well and
I am now more in favor than ever of
accepting Mr. Seth Hooker's offer of
his splendid warehouse for a dinner
at the Pitt county fair.
The next union meeting for this
district will be held with the church
in Grimesland, the fifth Lord s day
and Saturday before, in October.

the time that Andrew found Peter,
and that degraded woman at the well
found one who really
finds the Christ wants to lead the
way for others to find Him. Even
so it is with those who have been
afflicted with that which is depress-
to body and spirit and a rem-
They want to tell it to others.
This accounts for so much free ad-
vice along medical lines among the
laity. Many ailments will get well
anyway. So each fellow that you
meet has a panacea for every ache
and pain that the body is heir to, and
by the time the stomach takes them
all in, then, indeed and in truth, they
need a physician that knows how to
give some prescription that will
the stomach and rest it for
a while. Here, too, the mental part
needs stimulating and needs to be
detracted from self and directed to
other things. And here the science
of mental suggestion plays a won-
part. Let a horse get sick
and every fellow in the community
has a never-failing remedy, and gen-
they are all given. So the
horse is soon dead from too much
doctoring. More horses in the
try are killed by too much doctoring
than die from disease.
Then you will pardon me for tell-
how, when and where I found
vigor, strength and new life, when
the world only looked dark and
gloomy because my very

On the appointed day after our meet-

at the place that we had designated,
and he told me he had trimmed out
a small path to the seven springs
that he had found, and said he thought

In two weeks more that he would be
entirely well and then he should make
his way for parts unknown to him,
but that he should take a sunset
course and travel by night and would
be guided by the stars, for he had
watched them intently during his
lonely stay. He said after he was
out of reach then he would travel
by day, but while he stayed in hid-
it would not do for us to meet
often, and if I was sure that I could
find the springs he would not meet
me again until the day before he ex-

it was a blind path I told him I felt

Two weeks from then we met again
and he was well and strong., and that
night he took his departure. For
several nights he traveled in a west-
direction until he knew that he
was out of reach of his master or
those who might be looking for him.
So then he took the daylight to travel
in. One day when the sun was bend-
low and only the reflections of
his rays could be seen as they climb-
ed over the western hills, Eugene was
worn, weary, hungry and faint. When
he came to a home, cheerful looking
it was, on the veranda near the way-
side he saw a young man whose face
glowed with the of God's
love. His eyes gave him an Inviting

After that big-hearted soul return-
ed, Eugene told him the sad story of
his life. Jack Mills had thought of
the hardships of orphans before, but
never had he seen their lives so fully
demonstrated. As Eugene told his
story of privation, sickness, and want
of a kind word or gentle acts, the
tears of heart-felt sympathy stream-
ed down Jack face and his love
for was made stronger, his de-
termination increased and his well
guided zeal fired as nothing else could
have done it. So he. Jack Mills, de-
by implicit faith in God and
confidence in fellow man, to do
something to lift up and fit such
for life's duties.
What could be done Not only his
branch of the Christian church, but
almost all branches, at this time,
seemed to be sleeping along these
lines, and seemed to think that
must come to man through
some great power of God unaided by
man. true our land was
and poverty-stricken by the
of that recent war, and, too, it
is true, that the churches of that time
did not have that implicit faith in
God that looks up, gets up, and does
things; but that inactive faith that
stands as the great steam engine
without the throttle being turned on
that puts it in motion and does some-
thing. The wind that is still only
gives us air to breathe, but when
put in motion moves our majestic
ships and uproots gigantic trees. So
faith that is not applied by action
does but little here below.
Jack Mills, finding the church in
too much lethargy to do anything to-
wards building a home and caring
for of this kind, he must
needs at this time look to some
other source. But determined he
was to take no denial, so to the
Grand Lodge of Masons he appealed
for help. There, too, he found men
who could not see as he did, but
there was a spark of faith among
this body, and his pleading was so
earnest that they could not resist.
So they laid their heads together and
formulated a plan to build a nucleus
around which one of the greatest
institutions that grace our state was
erected. From this Oxford Orphan
Asylum has set in motion that faith
that has caused homes for those
to be built by all the
orders and churches.
The active faith of Jack Mills fired
by the sad of Eugene started
in motion that faith and zeal that has
done so much for humanity. The
world is growing better.

ANOTHER WRITER
FROM HANRAHAN
TALKS OF THINGS THESE,
Says Our Correspondent Don't
See What Is Going On.
HANRAHAN. N. C, Aug. 1911.
Editor
I really believe that there is some-
thing within almost every person
that makes us want to see our names
in print, or we want to see something
in print that we have written. This
earnest desire has been denied me,
for it really seems that I can't say
or do anything that is worthy of
notice. If I go to the city the reporter
never sees me, and if I stay home and
plow your correspondent from this
place takes no notice of it.
If I speak in opposition to build-
good roads and the one who we
all think writes from this place hears
me, he will say, what was laud
worth here before the railroad was
built, and what is it worth
and I am bound to admit that it is
worth ten fold more than it was be-
fore the railroad was built. Then he
says much easier it is for
horses to carry a load on good roads
than over such as we have today, and
who will have the taxes to Then
I am bound to admit that those who
own the property will have the bur-
den to bear and that their property
will be more than doubled in value
if good roads are secured, and I, who
don't own any property, will not
have half as much burden to bear as
I have now in meeting on the roads
pretending to work, when really lit-
good is done. But there are a
few can't exactly see things as
I am beginning to see them now.
I tell you the honest truth, Mr.
Editor, I did say some right rough
things about that Training school,
and for a while I thought your
respondent from this place would do
more towards pleasing the people if
he had said things hard about it, and
I told him so, but he never says very
much unless you get him wound up
and then he just defends a principal
that he knows is right if the world
were to oppose him. When I gave
him my idea about that Training
school he just showed me the great
benefit it is to every lady, and es-
to the children that are grow-
up to be trained for life's work
by giving them competent teachers.
So have come over on that side and
that is why I am asking space of
you.
Your correspondent has not been
saying enough about the progress our
community is making. Sir, for fifteen
years I have known this community,
and there was not even a Sunday
school in it and now for nearly two
years, without an intermission for
Bummer or winter, we have had a
Sunday school that would do credit
to any community. And still your
regular correspondent says nothing
about it. We all think that the one
who writes from here is the super-
of the Sunday school. So
I guess that is the reason he never
mentions the work that is being
done along this lino. But I am a
looker-on, so I tell you. it would do
you good to come some Sunday at
p. in., and sec what a Sunday school
we country people can have because
are all united on this one thing.
Get in your automobile and come
some Sunday afternoon. I don't be-
it would scare us much, and if
it did, we had as well begin to get
used to it, for soon we will see them
everywhere, even at Hanrahan. But
our house is too small to hold our
congregation or the children that at-
tend school here and must be en-
So we sent the
in this community knows
that is W. S. up to see
the board of education to see if they
could enlarge it for us, but they said
they had let us have all that they
could when they built the neat house
that we have. Our people, one and all,
say that we must have a larger house,
so they are just chipping in work, ma-
and some money, and we are
going to enlarge any way. Now, if
any one who reads this feels desirous
of helping in a worthy cause, just
send your contribution t post-
master or to W. S. or
to the Hanrahan, N. C, and
it will be thankfully received and
rightly applied towards enlarging our
house. We just must have more
house.
Now, Mr. Editor, we wrote you once

How He Got The Name.
A was in town a few days
ago with a load of hay, and forgetting
the party's name whom the hay was
for, made some inquiry to see
if he could in any way get at the
name again. He was questioned in
the matter, and being asked what the
name sounded like, replied, was
something like Christmas, Thanks-
giving, or the Fourth of where-
upon his questioner replied must

Drought Killed Trees.
One of the effects of the drought of
1911 just becoming apparent is the
number of trees showing dead brown
leaves. Almost every piece of wood-
land to be seen is spotted with these
trees. The oak seems to have been
less able to stand the drought than
any other variety of tree. The de-
of the trees from this cause
is to have been heavier in An-
than in any other county in the
state, though. Cabarrus lost heavily.

BIG RAT KILLING
. f THE FARM
GREAT IMPROVEMENT IN CROPS.
Thinks The Picnic Dinner Not A Good
Idea.
AYDEN, N. C, Aug. 1911.
Editor
It is now just one month since the
drought was broken in our
locality. On the 12th of July
we had a very good rain and on the
13th I went to your town, Mr. Editor,
and on the way noticed it had rained
very little with you, and for some
distance out toward our home. Be-
fore I got back home I was caught
in the rain near at home and it proved
to be a right large rain. From that
time down to now we have had from
one to two big rains each week, with
the exception of one week. We had
some tobacco to get drowned. The
water in our hog lot well rose three
or four feet and is now plentiful. So
it was a little strange to us to see
so much in the papers about the
scarcity of water in Charlotte and
Raleigh just at the time we were
having an excess. We see from friend
A. J. M's letter in last week's paper
that he must not have had the rain
we have.
Our crops have improved wonder-
fully and we are now housing a much
better crop of tobacco than we have
had for two or three years. I don't
mean to say it is good, but better
than for the two or three previous
years, on account of so much rain for
those years.
Think friend better abandon
the dinner idea in connection with
the fair, as it will make a handicap
to the ladies who have to prepare
it and there will be too many inter-
in the dinner and not the fair.
I think farmers make a mistake of
spreading big dinners to the public
because the harvest looks favorable.
I and the two boys had quite a
little fun a days since rounding
up and killing rats. The corn pile
got pretty delicate in the barn, and
it looked like the rats got hungry
and were trying to eat it all up. So
I called the boys up and we had a
rat killing. We got them all run
into a place Just under the floor on

I had one of the boys to put a piece
of wood pump piping at one hole and
one boy remained in the barn to run
them back from that way while I
punched them with a and made
them run into the piping. We got
ten without much trouble and took
the piping and held one end over a
barrel with water in it so as to make
sure of them as they ran out. But
we had to twist them out like twist-

killed some while running up the

dead, enough to eat corn enough every
night to feed one team at least one

Writing about tobacco, I would say
I have been making it for years,
at least, and have been sitting up
with it from midnight day a good
part of the time, and in that time
have never made but three or four
crops that amounted to much. A good

curing three weeks now and just fin-

be curing three weeks more if the
worms don't finish it up before then.

Same Road Tax Now Paid Will
Provide for The Bonds.
Editor
The voters of Greenville township
are about to pass upon the question
of issuing bonds for the building of
sand-clay roads. There has been
some tendency to discuss the
with feeling and to enter into
personalities. It strikes me that it
is entirely a business proposition,
and we, us voters, should so consider
it.
The question seems to be
Shall we continue to pay a road tax
of cents and have improved roads
or shall we pay the same tax and
by borrowing with a bond
issue have a modern road system
The bill makes twenty cents the
largest tax that can be levied and
provides that there shall be laid
aside each year out of this tax a sum.
sufficient to pay the bonds when they
become due.
Experts and practical business men
say mat the fifteen cents tax now
levied and collected, if properly
plied, will pay the interest on the
bonds, provide a sinking fund and
pay the expense of maintaining the
roads.
Let every voter figure on the prop-
for himself.
We now pay a road tax of fifteen
cents, a sand and mud tax of many
dollars; and we can borrow the
money and use it to pay back
amount borrowed with everything to
gain for the community.
The sand-clay road is a
improvement, is cheaper, and
for all purposes is regarded as equal
to the macadam road.

POLICEMAN
AMBUSH
DIES AN HOUR LATER
Negro Named Brad Bagley Charged
With The Murder.
A telephone message from William-
to The Reflector gives
of a murder which occurred In
that town Tuesday night. While on
his way home about o'clock, Chief
of Police W. R. White, was shot from
ambush and died about an hour
later.
People passing saw a named
Brad Bagley, from the scene of
the shooting, and he was arrested.
A gun was also found that is thought
to belong to Bradley. Another strong
circumstance against the la
that Policeman White arrested him
about a week ago for selling whiskey,
and this is thought to be the reason
that Bagley waylaid and shot the
officer.
Bagley was placed in jail
after his arrest. At first
there was much excitement with con-
sentiment to lynch the as-
but the better temper of the
people prevailed and it was deemed
best to let the law take its course.
The coroner's inquest and
trial were held today, and Bag-
was remanded to jail to await
the action of the grand jury at the
next term of Superior court.
