L. who was at Beau- fort last week, gave The Reflector man a gentle chiding for poking fun at the five water spouts in one after- noon reported from Morehead City. He says the five water spouts were a reality, for he saw them distinctly from Beaufort. One of them a whop- per in size, big enough to have swamp- ed any ship in the harbor had it been in the way, but the other four were small. Mr. B. Kittrell backs Mr. Woolen up, for he was at More- head at the time and saw the same five water spouts, getting a two mile nearer and better view than did Mr. The Reflector yields the point and accepts all five of the water spouts.

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 with us. We'd like your co-operation, too. HOME TELEPHONE TEL. C.

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. .

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- BLACK JACK 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.

Takes Game in of to What was Bald by the spectators to be the snappiest and best game here this season, was the one play- ed Monday afternoon by Greenville and Grin on. Under the agreement for the new series, each team in the league was permitted to hire two new players, which all took advantage of, and some more, so that the question really narrowed itself down as U which town could hire the best play- In the game Monday Greenville went first to the bat and faced in the box for Grifton. lie was some on handling the sphere, but being rather slack at the outset the home boys found him easy and put two across the home plate before ho really woke up.

He so puzzled the vis- that they could not touch him at all, except when he let them, so 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 his mind that he was going to walk in home.

Closer and closer the catcher and third baseman kept drawing in with the ball flying from one to the oilier over head. was watch- his chance and when the third baseman had the ball he got so close to the catcher, that when the ball was thrown it struck instead of going over him to the catcher, having climbed up in the air some in the meantime.

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.

Editor The following telling to Grow Wheat in taken from the 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. of Preparing a Seed-bed for Methods of Yield per ration. acre.

Three plots were plowed In August, all seven inches deep. One plot had been disked in July, and of the other two one was worked as was thought desirable throughout the summer and the other left without working until September when it was worked in the same manner as the September plowed plots. Three plots were plowed Of these, one was disked early, the other two had been previously to plowing and were plowed deep and shallow, res- After plowing all three plots were worked alike. Of these methods, the early deep plowed plot gave the largest yield, 38.36 bushels per acre. The largest yield was from the shallow plowing of the same date. This plot made a yield of 33.46 bushels per acre. Of the plots plowed in August the plot disked July made a yield of 32.68 bushels per acre, as com- pared with 27.74 bushels for the plot not 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. T. B. PARKER, Demonstrator.

After the game, cake and cream were served, and the party turned their faces in the direction of home, declaring they had spent a pleasant evening. In C. J. Pleasure is the sweetest In Winterville.

In the 10-year period the value per acre of farm land alone increased from to or per cent., in the whole country, and from to or a gain of per cent., in the south. In the very fact that as yet South- farm lands average but one-half as much per acre in value as farm lands in the rest of the country, and that, too, despite the fact that the average value per acre of the leading crops of the South exceeds the average value per acre of leading crops in the rest of the country, is strikingly emphasized the vast wealth to be created in the South by the in- enhancement of its farm land values. In the years the value of farm lands alone increased from to a gain of equal to 118.1 per cent, in the South, and from to or a gain of equal to 117.3 per cent., In the rest of the country.

This Southern increase was at the rate of per cent, with the average in the country increasing to or by per cent. Texas led in the rate of increase in this value in the years, per cent, with South Carolina second, per cent; third, per cent; Florida fourth, per cent; North Caro- fifth, per cent, and Arkansas sixth, per cent.

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 the conditions just described. This is a true statement of facts. You be- it. Do something about it. the conditions of a century ago Ledger. WM

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.

Dr. Hyatt Will Set Aside Every Sun- day for Treating Those Unable to Pay for Much-Need- ed Cooperation With Com- mission. Nothing but the physicians can form an adequate conception of the service that is being rendered North Carolina by the hookworm Had it not been for Dr. Stiles, we would never have known of these terrible little pests that are sapping the blood of our country-raised and had it not been for feller's money and that wonderful business head of his, there never would have been instituted the best- planned and most successful crusade in all history against health-destroy- and for the sanitary betterment of our state. The wisdom of enlist- the educational forces in the campaign is bearing fruit. Every- body knows of hookworms. While the teachers often and parents who strenuously deny that their petted little sap-headed children are dull be- cause they have hookworms, the ma- are alive to the situation and are sending their children to to be treated. 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 causes them to get in the habit of doing nothing, they grow up rant idlers, and in the past, as white were a reproach to southern civilization. Thanks to John Rockefeller and 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 this work not out of charity of heart, but for purposes of To those who feel like utilizing their waste time in helping the help- less, let me say, don't let any ad- verse any source deter you.

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.

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 by simply increasing the total output of cotton by increased acre- age and heavy application of com- fertilizers greater portion of which was bought on they must now repent and mourn over a disaster which they have brought up- on themselves, and by a gradual sys- of marketing they must avoid the still greater disaster that will come if markets are congested.

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. ---------o 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. Mexico does not appear to be doing as well under the new regime as it did under the administration. the revolution was just one bunch of grafters trying to oust an- other bunch of grafters. 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. ---------o If you favor issuing bonds to build and maintain good roads in Green- ville township, you will have an op- to show it in the election to be held the first Tuesday in The Reflector comes very near news from every section of the county in the run of a week, and the letters from its splendid corps of correspondents afford some good read- The general arbitration treaty be- tween the United, States, Great Britain and France has been signed by all three of the governments.

Bob of the Greensboro News, makes up a good story of his inland water way and fishing trip, but does not seem to know when he went trawling. With so many loafers around you need not be surprised if some start- ling crime occurs. Put the law at work and make the loafers get busy or move on. President Taft has recommended dismissal from public service of the two men connected with that portrait painting steel. Carry on the good work of investigations. The reapportionment bill which has passed congress gives the house members. In March, 1913, there will be new members to take their seats.

As much tax as the express company levies upon the people, it should not object to paying a little tax itself. There is not a company doing business that is more able to pay taxes. There is probably less factional feeling in Greenville than in any town in the state. The people here are too broadminded for such and for this reason are strong when they try to accomplish anything.

t- h SECTION Has Good Kain And Crop Prospects Are Fine. FARMVILLE, N. C, Aug. are having a beautiful rain, gentle, quiet and slow rain, just the kind if it continues long enough to wet the ground and lo the most good to the growing crops. One blessed thing about this rain is that it seems to be general, that is a wide extent of territory will receive the necessary water to good crops to be housed. My boy's late corn, planted the 15th of June, is just rejoicing, and so is the hoy, for he thinks other things being equal, he has still a chance to come out ahead. His corn is just as pretty as you could and will make just as much as the land is cap- able of making until it has had more humus incorporated into the soil. Cotton was beginning to fail badly, but with this rain we are assured of a good crop. Sweet potatoes are looking now as if we should gather an abundant harvest. My friend, Greg Tyson, cultivates potatoes extremely for hog feed and says they are profitable crop. Another one of my friends, Mr. Will Arthur, plants potatoes and peanuts in the same enclosure and raises profitably a number of very large hogs. It is not too late to set out vines for slips or small potatoes to bed. A. J. M. BEAUFORT IN AUGUST. THE GAIETY Every Rendering Fine Programs Night.

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 as made tremendous strides. The is no longer a state, or en a national movement, but has an international character. other countries throughout the 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 by t tr vote that constitutional pro- after a test of years, was by them unfeasible or this decision would mean a blow to the hopes of the f prohibition who, for years, working, inspired by the that some day all nations In suppressing the now in progress in this state and which will continue for another month, until the last vote shall have been cast at the coming election, began practically after the election in September or last year, when it became certain, that a Democratic legislature had been elected, believed to be pledged to vote for a resubmission of the clause of the Constitution. People outside of this State cannot imagine how bitter and desperate is the fight between the prohibition and the an prohibition factions In this State, campaign was begun by the with a rush and in vigor and there is every reason to believe at the remaining month will witness campaign in this State, in fierceness in the history cal fights.

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.

It is not confined to any section of a state or even to any state. It is nation-wide in its interest.

In a recent issue The Richmond Times-Dispatch noted the progress of North Carolina and commented thereon as The story of the last United States census is coming out, and it shows that North Carolina is well along to- wards the front of the procession. The value of the farming lands in that state in the last decade has in- creased from in 1900, to in 1910, or per cent. The average value of land increased from the acre in 1900, to in 1910. The increase in the use of 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- Not only is the Old North State do- wonderful things with cotton, but it is also making a great deal of corn and oats, and could supply every man, woman and child in its borders with a loaf of wheaten bread every day in the year, and three times a day, if any proper care should be en to the cultivation of wheat. Last year North Carolina produced bushels of corn and about bushels of wheat and oats.

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. Where The Money Goes. James J. Hill, speaking of the in- outlook, is of money In the country and it is being offered at a low rate of interest for short-time loans; but little of it seems to be going into the creation of new business enterprises. On the contrary, much of our money is going to foreign lands for We have in this brief statement a presentation of one of the greatest of the indirect evils growing out of monopoly of industries by great In former times the small factories of the country held in the annual earnings of each separate community. Money remain- ed largely in the locality where it was earned and was used by local business men to develop local enterprises. the present system there is no large number of small interests to hold money diffused through the try. It passes to the banks and from them is sent to New York. Here it becomes available for big capitalists. But they use it only for big purposes. Little enterprises do not appeal to them. Therefore, our money, as Mr. Hill says, is going York World. 88888888888888888688 POLITICS AND POLITICIANS 888888888888888888 Governor Wilson of New Jersey has been invited to address the Georgia legislature.

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 Chronicle, Good Fine Crops. Farmers in town today reported that there was a good rain in all sec- of the county Wednesday night. All of them give good account of crops, the prospect being the finest the county has known.

HOOKERTON DISTRICT HELD WITH Good Sermons Fine Dinners. FARMVILLE, N.

Among those present from a distance were Messrs. Morton and min- Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Mr. and Mrs. Henry Brothers, Elder A. Hodges, Mr. Carr Caraway with Miss Eunice Mr. Jno. and and Hiss Sallie Parrott, all of Lenoir county; Miss Alice Taylor, Mr. Clarence Hardy and mother, of Greene county; Mr. E. A. Sr., and wife, Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Lang, Mrs. Bud Spain and Miss Agnes, of Greenville; Mrs. Jennie Proctor and daughter, Mrs. Proctor and Ur. wife, of Grimesland; Mr. Holden, of Wilson; Mr. John Hart's two daughters, of Ayden; Mr. J. Allen, the 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. A. J. M. FROM SCOTLAND NECK. Comes With Another Bunch.

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.

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.

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.

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 before, and because we couldn't write as good a hand as the other fellow, or for some other cause, you threw it with the other scrap paper. Please don't do that this time, and if you will send a few sample copies of this issue to the he might get you some more subscribers.

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 have been sir, the 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. Charlotte Chronicle. Will Add County Census. Mr. H. T.

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 NEWS THAT IS OF IN- TO TAR HEELS GATHERED FROM EXCHANGES. And Briefly Told for The Busy Readers. Job P.

BEST TO ISSUE BONDS FOR GOOD ROADS STRONG ARGUMENT IN ITS top of the back sill to the barn, then 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- a rabbit out of a hollow. We killed some while running up the posts, etc., and wound up with dead, enough to eat corn enough every night to feed one team at least one meal. 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 crop in seldom made. We have been curing three weeks now and just fin- topping our last today. Will be curing three weeks more if the worms don't finish it up before then. W. A. DARDEN. 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. X. Y. Z.

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.
