The high price of cotton and its comparative easy culture, requiring less skilled labor and less attention, will largely take the place of tobacco culture in this section, unless the get what they consider profit- able prices for their tobacco. There has been more concern expressed about the question this year than ever before. Ten years ago, a crop tobacco could be made an an av- of at least per cent, per pound cheaper than it can now.

Ten years ago an average crop of tobacco could be made and marketed for an aver- cost of fifty-five to sixty dollars per acre. My experience last year and this has been that it will cost front seventy-five to ninety dollars per acre, depending largely upon lo- cal labor conditions, L.

The midnight express of the Nor- folk Southern ran into an open switch at New Monday night about it being due there at Engineer Dunn stuck to his post and escaped unhurt, his fireman, Ed Watson, colored, jumped and slight injuries. None of the passengers were hurt. The engine almost turned completely over. The front part was completely torn away, the front trucks were knocked from the engine, and she lay this morning deeply buried in the dirt and mud. The track was torn up, the cross ties so badly demolished that it was to put new ones down, the rails were twisted as if they were nothing more than wire. One or two flat cars and about the same number of gondolas on the were so badly torn up that they are fit only for the scrap pile. It is believed that some one intended to wreck this train.

Four hundred and eight bales of cotton from a 200-acre field is the wonderful record made last year by J. D. Whittle, near S.

During a storm Monday afternoon lightning cut quite a caper at the home of Mr. J. G. Taylor, near Sta- ton's. It struck the house in one of the corner boxes under the eves, run down into one of the second story rooms splintering a poet as It went, then switched across to another room where it split open one post and a bedstead. Then it dropped down In- to a room on the first floor, where it knocked some of the enamel off of an iron bedstead. From this room it went through the floor and followed a sill under the house to the outside of the building, where it went to the ground on a lightning rod. The track of the lightning all through the build- could be easily traced by the signs it left. Another remarkable thing is that while several members of the family were in the house, not one of them was injured. Mrs. Taylor had some goods on the bed in the lower room and was leaning over this cutting out a garment when the bedstead was struck, and it did not even shock her. There was a tremendous rain the storm. ESTIMATE OF DAMAGE HAIL MOW A TOBACCO CROP SUFFERED Raleigh Times. Greenville Connections.

C, Sept. 1911. Editor I will give what I think is a fair estimate of the loss or damage to my five acres of tobacco by the hail of August 20th. Have already sold what was left of it. There was pounds beaten off on the ground. About pounds of this was dirt, leaving pounds of tobacco at cents. It should have brought at least to cents if it had not been damaged in this way, so from leaves cents loss on the Then we sold 1,496 pounds at cents, which was a loss of from to cents, say and we have loss on this lot. There was a loss in actual weight of perhaps pounds, the butt end of many leaves broken and left on the stalks, here we have a loss of say Summing up we have total, This Is the estimated loss on our hired crop of acres. Our tenants had about or acres but some of their crops were not damaged so much, as they were nearer done on account of not having so much replanted tobacco as myself. I had a better stand, having replanted more times and they. One thing peculiar about the sale of hail damaged tobacco was that but one buyer would have it at all, that it sold cheap. It being large- tips and badly torn it could not be stemmed. The area covered by this hail was very small, not but or yards wide and not so much more than double that length. W. A. DARDEN.

GALLOWAY'S ROADS Sell Your Tobacco on Warehouse Floor There never has been a time when it was prudent for farmers to sell their tobacco at their pack houses, or at a private sale. My observation during the past twenty years, dealing in and selling tobacco has been that the who sells his tobacco at a private sale loses nine times in ten. I believe the open floor is the fair- est and best way tobacco was ever sold. While some tobacco is sold in this way for less than market value at times, during the glutted market, it is not Improbable that any man will overlook some piles of tobacco, but if the warehouseman understands his business, and is a conscientious man, very few piles will escape his attention, and if a pile be over- looked, will correct the error, and in- stead of taking offense at the turned tag, will appreciate any patron calling his attention to the mater. Of course, there are people who take in tobacco when there is positively no excuse for it, but where a pile has been over- looked and has failed to bring the market value, any warehouseman who wants to do his duty, will be glad to make proper disposition of it, either by advancing the price, or keeping it for another sale. Farmers who sell tobacco at their pack houses, or at a private sale, are entirely at a dis- advantage, for the man who buys it is better on the market often knows more about the methods of marketing, and is therefore in posit- ion to get the best of the bargain. No blame should be attached to the buy- is the farmer who should re- fuse to sell in this way. He makes the tobacco, and it requires hard work; constant attention, and a great deal of risk, and whatever profit there in it, certainly belongs to the man who produces it. Therefore, a wise course for farmers to pursue is to decide positively not to sell tobacco except at a public sale. L. JOYNER.

Marshal Kline and Edward battered down the door of the cabin and asked the slaves, hidden in the attic, to surrender. The re- fused to surrender and the warrants were read to them. About this time and Elijah Lewis, two white residents, known for their strong anti-slavery ideas, appeared upon the scene.

The trial lasted fifteen days and, although the presiding Judges drier and Mane were strong pro-slavery men, the jury acquitted the prisoners.

Carolina Home Farm SM The VITAL NEWS Playing With to Wake Fees Attorneys PRESIDENTS WIELDS President Wields Wants to Hake Arizona Rescind Principle Already Position be Defended. c. h. WASHINGTON Sept. the tenth day of May, 1902, the govern- filed a petition for an injunction against the beef trust in the Federal court at Chicago. On July 1911, the packers, after having obtained forty-two delays and postponements in the intervening nine years, again pleaded not guilty, and for the forty- third time their trial was postponed, this time until November of this year. The status of the beef trust prose- therefore is exactly it was the day the first papers were filed nearly a decade ago. The much-her- of this gigantic prosecution which has been directed by one Republican attorney general after amounted to less than nothing. Every man. woman and child in the country is convinced that the trust operates in violation of the law, both statute and moral, and yet has been accomplished in the campaign to stop these viola- except the disbursement of thousands of dollars in fees for attorneys.

First, that the people of Arizona by a vote of three to one declared in favor of the recall. Second that in order to obtain state- hood the people of Arizona must go to the polls again and vote against a principle of government that they have already voted in favor of, and which they believe to be right. By thus concerning the people to vote against a thing which their best judgment tells them to be wise, threatening to withhold from that people, unless they vote as the chief executive dictates rights to which they are justly entitled under the constitution, President Taft committed himself to an action which is without precedent in the history of the American republic. The president has said lo the of Arizona, in matter whether tho majority believe that, the recall Of judges is wise or not; less that majority goes to the polls and pretends that it is against the recall, I will deprive the people of Arizona of statehood.

As a re- of their action notice has been served on the Hoards of County Com- missioners and the County Assessors in four counties Forsyth, Davidson, Wilson and conic forward and tell of the assessed value of the prop- city in their counties, to show whether the assessment is at the true value in money; If not, why there has been a failure to obey the law; and to show why, if the value has been put too low, why the values of the ands should not be increased as provided the Machinery Act, to put it in pro- value with other property in the State. This action follows the complaint of the Southern Railway and the At- Coast Line Railway that their assessments arc too high, at nearly full value, in comparison with other assessed property values In the State. This matter was heard on Tuesday, I he Seaboard Air Line to be heard on Saturday, and there were affidavits from the County Assessors of the four counties named that property was assessed about BO per cent and some at about per cent of its value. From other counties there was testimony and affidavits of property being assess- ed at from to per cent of value, but the commission has decided that it will act first in the matter of these counties whose County Assessors have given affidavits of the lower figures of from to per cent. The matter is a most important one, and the letter sent out to the tax of- of Forsyth, Davidson, Wilson and Pitt, calling thorn to be present in Raleigh on Wednesday, September indicates that the matter is to be fully investigated and action taken to values in the various ties. THE BAGGING QUESTION IMPORTANT TO FARMERS KOBE ABOUT THE COTTON TABS. Six Per Cent of the Entire Weight is Deducted. N. C, Sept., have noticed, in your paper for several days, an article headed, An Import- ant Cotton Notice, signed by the Norfolk and Portsmouth cotton exchange, relative to cotton bagging and weight of cotton bales. Now Mr. Editor there are two sides to the question. The farmers do not want any more than rightfully be- longs to them, but they do want and need ah that does belong to them. To show the other side of the question that is, the farmers side, you are re- quested to publish the enclosed clip- ping from the Progressive Farmer of recent date, which puts the whole situation in a nutshell. Yours truly, W. T. PRICE. commercial bale of cotton is reckoned at pounds, including bagging and ties. The price of cotton is always fixed in reference to this tare. A bale weighing pounds is allowed by the exchanges to carry pounds of bagging and ties. That is, pounds are deducted or discount- ed in the world's price for this cotton. So that, if less than pounds is placed upon the bale, the spinner gains. If more than pounds, he loses. If more than pounds is put on weight bale, the farmer gains. If less than pounds, he loses. a word, per cent is deducted from the individual bale, if only one bought, or from the aggregate weight of the lot if a number of bales are bought. Therefore if the farmer puts less than per cent of bagging and ties in the gross weight of the bale, he loses whatever difference there may be. To Suppose his bale weighs pounds, and he only bounds of bagging and ties on that bale. He not only loses the pounds of bagging and ties, but eight pounds of his cotton be- sides. order that the farmers may this whole proposition, the whole thing can be summed up in one That no matter what the price for your cotton may be, the buy- in fixing the price In the great centers of trade have fixed it upon the basis that six per cent of the en- tire weight of all the cotton they buy deducted for No Need To Slop Work.

MUST LOVE YOUR WORK SUCCESS BELIEVE IN AND WORK How One Man Talked Scissors And Sold Scissors. HANRAHAN, N. C, Sept. for more than a week I have been trying to think of something worth the while to say. And the longer I withhold and look and listen, the more fully I am convinced that a ma- of us mortals are only play- at life's problems. We who sow the soil expect to reap, but so few of us are in love with our work. We nearly all of us think that you, Mr. Editor, and that other man who from early dawn until far into the shad- of the night has to deal with and try to satisfy the public, has, oh, such a happy time of it. Just any- thing except that thing which we arc called upon to do out of the way with our work, child-like, anxious to do that which we can't do. Oh, that we could learn to love the things that we are called to do, and stop wishing that you were me and were you. Let's be in earnest about our callings, be that ever so humble. If our purpose is honest, then our work is honorable, and if we will only learn to love it then we will impress others with the import- ant fact that work, honest work, is a physical, all-mental and a spirit- blessing, and far from being a cure as so many deem it. I have watched with peculiar in- one man who sold scissors. There was nothing specially peculiar about the scissors except a little at- but this man was so in love with and therefore so enthused that he talked scissors to every one he came in contact with, and he not only talked scissors but sold scissors to almost every house in miles square. Why did he sell so many scissors Because he honestly be- that the scissors he sold were the best scissors that has ever or ever will be manufactured by any com- that makes scissors, and he was so In earnest in it that he made believe with him. He had it fig- out to such a fine point that he could tell a woman just how many pounds pressure she would use In a day's cutting with the ordinary scissors, and how many pounds bur- den she would take from her weary arm in a day by using his scissors, and, too, how much her fair and muscles needed this rest. Twas love for his work that made his speech catchy, and when he had supplied every store that sold dry goods, leather or tin, every shop with a streaked pole in front, and every home with a mother and child and there are no homes without these, he sighed because there were no more people who needed scissors. But such devotion to work not go long without being rewarded, by a call to a more noble and grander position. So he was very soon given the agency for a weekly newspaper. His zeal for this was even more in- tense, and he talked his paper to every one he met and sold it to most, if not quite, every one he talked to. I have heard him stand and plead so earnestly the merits of his paper that he almost persuaded me to believe that one get the news out of his weekly one or two days sooner it could possibly be ob- from a daily. How this can be done he can explain satisfactory. I can't. If any daily wants an agent who can make many people believe that if they will take the paper that he represents they, through that pa- per, can get all the news sooner than it can be sent them by wire, even though they had a telegraph office this man can do it and would soon have all the post offices in his so crowded with the daily paper that other boxes would have to be supplied. Please don't all the state dailies apply for his services at once, but any one will do well to secure him. I can vouch for his of purpose. He loves his work. him up here and give us the first chance at I. FARMERS CONSOLIDATED TO. CO. An Organization That Is Doing Some- thing for Farmers. it a little peculiar that from the day the Farmer's Consolidated Tobacco Co., began business in Green- ville it has been cussed and discussed probably more than any other in the county since the days of the farmers alliance. The stock- holders of the company have been given lots of free advice and all kinds of dreadful prophecies have been made yet it continues to do business and no calamity has yet befallen any stockholder that we know of, on ac- count of his stock. And what is more the stockholders have each drawn their share of the dividends while some of them have actually sold their tobacco elsewhere. The employees of this company from president down seem to have the habit of attending to their own business and have no connection or anything to do with any other warehouse business. No combination or reasonable con- will very long prevent people who pursue this policy from doing business, especially if the tobacco farmers once fully realize the true situation. On third page of this paper will be found a large advertisement of this company, calling particular attention to their two warehouses in Greenville the Star with F. D. Foxhall, mgr., and the Gum with J. J. Gentry, mgr. Besides getting at these houses the best prices that can be obtained any- where, the farmers who have stock in the company get their share of the annual dividends arising from the business. Many in Pitt county know how well this has paid them. It is to the interest of the farmers to sell at their own warehouses, for besides get- ting the best prices they help to make larger dividends on their own MB.

WHERE LOCAL MEN LOSE. ELECTRICAL DEVELOPMENT. The editorial that appeared in the Reflector some days ago about development, and pointing to it as an agency destined to do much in transforming North Carolina, seems have attracted much attention. Not only were there a number of quests for copies of the paper con- the article, but also letters about it which indicated that others were interested -ind thinking about this important subject. One gentle- man who has been instrumental n the development of water powers, and is interested in electrical power, writes that he has for sometime had in mind such development throughout Eastern North Carolina as The Re- suggested. He presented the matter to some of his banker friends with the view of interesting them and found that they had considered If from the same standpoint, and the outcome was investigation along that line. The gentlemen in question says the manufacture and sale of electrical current is a highly technical business and requires considerable experience to make it a success. This can best be done by a consolidation of small electrical properties into one large central station in the hands of ex- perts to serve the towns, instead of from a number of small, inefficient and uneconomical individual plants. The gentleman adds the plan which you suggest be carried out, it will be the biggest step forward in turning the garden spot of North Carolina into an industrial While The Reflector feels gratified that its suggestion attracted such wide attention and is being acted up- on by electrical operators, has shown that an obstacle to linking together in a great power system the several good Eastern towns mentioned in the former is municipal ownership of Never In the history of Greenville have the business men of the town had such an opportunity for advertising as now, yet they fail to take age of it and they arc the greatest losers by this neglect. Here In The Daily Reflector sending out more than papers every day, and while its columns show a liberal amount of advertising, it is noticeable that so few of the local merchants are among the advertisers, yet all want more business and complain because they do not get it. The last issue of the Pitt County News was a double size special that carried many large attract- advertisements, yet they were mainly from business men of other towns in the county and Greenville taking very little part In such an op- for publicity. Does this mean that a majority of Greenville merchants course it does not apply to are wanting in enterprise It certainly makes such an impression upon those who read the town's papers. It also means that Greenville merchants are letting the enterprising business men of other towns invade their own and draw trade which could be brought here with the proper effort. The business men of the other towns have a perfect right to draw all the trade they can, and when they show sufficient enterprise to do this the local dealers have only themselves to blame for losing it. They have the opportunity if they will use it. There are fully fifty business houses in Greenville that ought to be regular advertisers, and their town papers are just as good, have as large circulation, with just as low advertising rates as those of other towns. These papers will help make business for the town if the business men will do their part. have entered upon their duties- It can be said of the retiring members of the commission that they served well. Though but little re- came for their services they gave much personal attention to the conduct of the municipal plants placed in their charge. When they took charge, three yeas ago, the plant had not reached a paying basis, but in these three years its physical condition has been vastly improved, the service extended and made better all the time, and the net earnings for the time have been something over They turn over the plant to their successors in good condition. The thanks of the town is due them for their faithful administration. Guilty of murder in the first de- was the verdict of the jury that brought to a close the famous trial of Henry Clay Jr., for the murder of his wife. There had been much speculation as to what the would be. himself dis- played an air of all through the trial, and said with confident air that the jury would either bring in a verdict of acquittal or disagree. He has learned otherwise, for in juries are found who will say that the man who murders his wife should be punished for his crime. The corporation commission is after the tax assessors of some of the counties, Pitt among them, for the valuation which they placed upon real estate, and has summoned them to Raleigh for an It seems that this has come about by the affidavits of certain parties that much property has not been assess- ed at near its real value. We do not know what the investigation will de- but there is hardly a doubt that some people pay more, and less than their just part of the taxes. When we read of mills and factories being organized in other towns, it makes us long all the more for such things to come to Greenville. Surely no town needs them worse than this, and they could be made to pay here as well as elsewhere. Some of these days men with means will see the wisdom of getting together and es- them. Factories are things that are going to come here, but the trouble just now is that they arc so slow about coming. Elections in the two new states of New Mexico and Arizona will be held in November and the United States senators will be chosen in January. William M. Andrews the present Republican delegate from New co, will be a candidate for United States senator from that state, and Ralph A. Cameron, the present Re- publican from Arizona, is expected to be in the running from that state. Only a few weeks ago the death of the mother of Governor Kitchin occurred in Scotland Neck. This is followed quickly with the announce- of the death of the mother of Lieutenant Governor Newland in Lenoir. Both these have the sympathy of many friends throughout the state. It developed at the annual meeting of the members of Carolina Club, Wednesday night, that interest in the club had waned to some extent. This should not be the case. In past years the club has proven of considerable benefit to the community, and could continue to be of help to the town with proper interest. There was that perhaps the introduction of individual lockers would inject more interest in the club. We think this a mistaken idea, and that nothing would mean a more certain and hasty death to the club than to have lockers It should be an organization noted for morality and the elevation of high ideals. CHANGE IN COMMISSIONERS. The personnel of the Greenville water and light commission under- went a change a few day ago. For the past three years the commission has been composed of Messrs. H. A. White, R. L. Humber and C. The term of the first two having expired, the board of recently elected Messrs. D. S. Spain and L. W. Tucker to them, and the new members If there is to be any base ball lea- in this section next year, by all means let it be composed strictly of home teams. It is no particular to a town to have a team of hired players whose only identity is the uniform and the name of the town. The teams of hired players are also too much expense to the towns sup- porting them. When the home boys of one town play against the home boys another town, then there is some reason of local pride and inter- est. When a preacher gets a reputation as being a good hand In performing marriage ceremonies, it sometimes stands him in well. One in New Or- leans kept a record of twenty-seven years in that time married couples at which he received an average fee of the total footing up over It pays to be a marrying preacher. The depravity of human nature is well exemplified in the going of Paul and two lead- witnesses in connection with the murder trial, to New York to accept flattering offers to go on the stage and pose for moving picture films. The offers came to them while they were in jail. The Raleigh Daily Times changed hands Thursday, Mr. J. V. Simms, who edited and managed it success- fully for four years, having sold the taper to a company headed by Mr. John A. Parks. The Times under its new management will go right on making good. All the use some people have for others is to make what they can out of them, having little or no interest in their welfare or the progress of the town or community. Even Green- ville has some of that kind. President Taft has mapped out a trip of miles through twenty four states, to begin about the middle of this month. That thirteen may be unlucky to him. Better add a little more to it or take some from it. Straw hats have a look yet. very There is much for cotton pickers. Just as well make up your mind to fight, or mosquitoes will take you.

The hum of the gin makes music in the country that follows the chime of the cotton pickers.

Now they ought to let Bin- ford drop as quick as did Evelyn Thaw and Clara Some business men need to catch the idea of do more for their town and the town will do more for them. Raleigh is laying plans for the dedication of the new auditorium there with three large attractions during state fair week. We certainly hope the ultimatum of the Farmers Union for and cent cotton will carry through. It will do it, too, if the farmers stick. There must be some local cause for so much pellagra in Durham. If It was not that a majority of the victims are women, somebody might be want- to hold tobacco responsible. Almost every day there are new converts to the sentiment of having good roads.

The high prices that have prevailed here since the opening of the market on the first of the month speak for themselves. Greenville has four good tobacco warehouses and a strong corps of buyers, and all work to keep this market in the lead. Farmers are aware of this, hence bring their tobacco here.

Just so sure as they are short on hay the coming winter, and have to depend on buying it, they will pay dearly for what they get. The western hay crop is very short, and the prediction is already made that the price will go to a ton. If our farmers will do as well this season on hay as they have done on corn and meat, it will mean keeping much money at home. Crop crop for is always advisable, in our opinion, for farmers to put in as much of their land as they can in the fall. We nearly always get sea- growing weather during the fall and the early spring, and crops sown in the fall not only furnish a cover crop for the soil, but are grow- and thriving at seasons which in recent years have proved most ad- in our southern soils and climate. We would therefore urge farmers to sow all the land suitable crops this fall, so as to provide against the repetition of short feed crops another Crop is issued monthly and gives timely and sea- information about seeds that can he planted to advantage and pro- fit each month throughout the year.

GOOD ADVICE TO FARMERS. Handle Tobacco Carefully Don't Let It Get In too High Order. During the last few years there has not been very much need for co farmers to exercise any extra- ordinary care in preventing tobacco from getting in too soft order, be- cause our falls have been unusually dry. This year it seems natural to suppose that very probably we shall have more water in the atmosphere than usual, and, consequently, there greater danger of tobacco or running red in being handled while in such soft order. I several years ago, about this sea- son of the year, we had a protracted spell of wet, soft weather, and farm- could not work at anything else except grade tobacco. They did this, and in about a week or ten days, threw the whole thing on the market and ran the prices down two or three cents a pound. Buyers cannot be expected to pay the highest prices for tobacco in bad condition. The exercise of ordinary care and prudence in grading co during the next twenty or thirty days will do away with this risk en- At this particular time, when the atmosphere is full of moisture, farmers had better do nothing than to grade their tobacco and then fill the warehouse full of it in too high order, to be sold at lower prices. Buyers who get it run the risk at the same time of having lots of it damaged on their all of which tends to lower prices and keep them lower. O. L JOYNER. But the revolving flywheel catches no flies.

Fitzgerald is tried for the alleged at the present- term of the Federal court. Public opinion as to Fitzgerald's guilt or innocence is divided, as it has been since the finger of suspicion was first pointed at him. Many per- sons firmly believe the accused man is the unfortunate victim of a great mistake. Others do not hesitate to declare their opinion that Fitzgerald is one of the smoothest rogues with which Uncle Sam's secret service men have ever had to deal. The only point in the case con- which there is not the slight- est doubt is that a fortune in cash officially stated to be appeared from within the steel cage and granite walls of the as mysteriously as if the money had wings, literally as well as figurative- and for nearly five long years its whereabouts has remained an lute mystery. The first intimation of- had of a shortage was on a Wednesday afternoon, in the summer of 1908, when Fitzgerald, who had been a government for years, walked from his cage over to the cashier's, F. C. Russell, and told him he was short An examination of Fitzgerald's books showed that the shortage was not a matter of bookkeeping, but of actual loss. Further investigation, it is said, developed that by strange coincidence the balance retained by the assorting teller in his custody the night before was the exact amount of money missing. Inquiry at Wash- showed that the money had not been shipped there by mistake. Thomas I.

The money, Fitzgerald said, lay in stacks upon his desk in a dark corner of the cage and might easily have been reached from under the gating.

Just when the public had about concluded that the matter had been dropped it was surprised to learn that was again under rest on the old charge.

It would seem that despite the motor truck and other self-propelled vehicles, the demand for the horse is not only holding its own, but actual- increasing to an almost incredible extent. The official semi-annual stock re- port sent out recently from St. Louis shows an enormous increase in the number of horses sold this year in comparison with 1910. During the first six months of 1911 receipts at St. Louis were head as against for the same period last year. At Chicago, as against at Kansas City, as against and at St. Joseph as against 13.000. In the five leading markets in the country the total gain was head or about per cent. bid still some people wonder why horses are so high in range. Bead Building by Townships. There is more good roads talk go- on just now all over the country than ever before. It means that folks are thinking about better roads. Mr. J. M. chairman of the Mon- roe township commissioners, and a man who puts a lot of good thought to road improvement, has been down in his native county, Scotland, where that roads used to consist of a streak of sand bed, over which the toiling animals crept, and a streak of axle- deep mud, but now where the roads are firm, smooth, well-bridged and a joy forever. Mr. naturally about how the money was raised to build those good roads and he found that in Scotland county each township its own county affair about his ex- with chain gang and of county-wide and township system of building roads convince him that the township way is the best way, for by that system there is no quarrel about showing partiality to favorite sections in the county in working the roads.

Suppose your wheat had been sow- ed on the surface of this soil with this mass of vegetation underneath or suppose your corn crop had been planted. In the first three inches of this soil, what would have happened In neither case would the plant roots have gone below this mass of to the moist soil beneath and in neither case could capillary at- traction have raised the moisture from the sub-soil through this mass vegetation to the famishing plant roots above it. But one result would be inevitable. Your crop would die for lack of moisture, notwithstanding you may have a normal amount of rain fall during the season. You have not set up a chemical but a mechanical condition in your soil that allows the rain water to pass down into the sub-soil but will not allow capillary to return into the surface soil to supply the needs of the growing crop and it is only the capillary water, or the water on its return movement to the surface, that feeds the plant. Not only so but all of the soluble nitrates in the surface or ten inches are leached out and car- down into the sub-soil and ed to remain there until this bed of vines, weeds, etc., has been removed by a subsequent plowing or the processes of decay. The face soil is thus made poorer and dry- by the localization of this mass or green manure just below the face. How shall we avoid this con- Mr. T. D. Brown, of Salisbury, solved the problem this season on his own land. He had crimson clover on a piece of land that yielded about six tons of green manure to the acre he wanted to play down for corn. This is a very large amount green manure to be turned in at one time, especially during this sea- son of almost unprecedented Mr. Brown dragged his clover down with a heavy drag, then cut it three or four times while yet green with a sharp twenty-inch weighter disc barrow set straight. After having cut the clover into short pieces he plowed it under as deeply as his teams could pull it. He then set his disc at a slight angle and disced the the drainage waters or by evaporation. The formation of am- is another necessary of the decay of any organic matter. The ammonia is an alkali and tends to counteract and neutral- any excess of acid formed along side of it. Mr. H. W. Conn, the lead- authority on soil bacteriology in the United States makes this cant statement in his excellent work on agricultural bacteriology. composition in itself will produce an alkaline condition since ammonia re- from will neutralize the acid. If, therefore, a vigorous decomposition of organic matter is going on, lit- attention need be given to the matter of In poorly drained soils where de- composition of the organic matter goes on slowly, only small amounts of ammonia are formed and these es- cape readily Into the air while the or- acids tend to accumulate and remain in the soil moisture and render the land acid. Here is where your strip of litmus paper would be turned red by the wet soil. Such land is found in some of the mountain valleys and some of the low-lying lands of the eastern part of the state, and occasionally areas in the Pied- section, but in North Car- are well drained and If the green manure is handled as Mr. Brown, of Rowan, handled it no fear need be entertained from excessive acids accumulating in the soil.

The Tourist understands that Road Supervisor is to begin work on the new Raeford Boulevard the first of next week. That sounds good, not only to residents and prop- owners out that way but to the merchants of Southern Pines and Rae- ford, all of whom will stand a chance to profit by the new highway. The probability of the new road was a factor in recent land sales in that section, as the writer knows from correspondence which was shown him from time to time. Some deals were not closed until the building of the road was assured by the action of the Hoke county commissioners and the township road authorities. At the present time prices are better and the chances of selling land in that region are greatly enhanced by the fact that the road it to be built. Farms near which the road is to run will private roads or land again, thus mixing and mingling j Public roads at ex- the cup up clover with the whole to with the boulevard, stratum In a very manner.

Some days ago when I saw the field there was hardly a fired blade to be seen while his other corn on similar land on the opposite side of the road was burned to the ear. By thus mixing the organic matter in this cut up condition with the whole soil stratum the water was able to pass down from the surface to the sub- soil and to rise from the sub-soil to the surface again without being ob- in its movement by the lay- of non-capillary vegetable matter at some place along the lines of as- cent.

Editor The readers of your paper are pretty well advised about the coming Pitt county fair. Still I met an in- man in Farmville who did not know that a fair was to be, and I have met several who did not know the date. This reminds me that the fair management should get out some posters and distribute them about the county. If the board of managers individually do not exert themselves right much, I fear we shall not have the exhibits that the county might furnish. I insist on the public dinner at the Liberty warehouse, as the so- gathering there will be worth a great deal. No one need prepare a very expensive basket, but bring the have, and if you have a rare dish, or know how to prepare a food from what is in common use, then will be a good opportunity to teach others how to prepare it. We have got to eat and the rants in town will not be able to feed us all between twelve and two o'clock. If the merchants and factories would close at eleven and open again at two, they would lose very little, and the wage earners would have a pleas- ant and profitable time. Cannot everybody in town suspend work at eleven o'clock and take those hours holiday If everybody will not ac- this suggestion, let each one who can conveniently do so. Remember this fair, if a success, will do much in a financial way for Greenville. I see that the chamber of commerce and the local union of Craven county propose to have a fair at New Bern in November. So you see our example is being followed by other progressive communities. Pitt, being a large county, needs something which all love and for to keep us united, to arouse that county pride which is so to the people of a community. We wish all her people to have that love for Pitt county that the late Senator Williams used to have. He love old Pitt Inch of her we have none to cede to other counties. United we stand, divided we may fall a prey to some county Let the farmers bring to the fair the best that they have. A. J. M. ITEMS. News Items Around That Neighbor- hood. N. C. Sept. and Mrs. J. W.

The other day a gentleman from the lower Rio Grand valley appeared on the floor of the Houston cotton exchange and exhibited a novelty In the way of a cotton stalk that at- universal interest. It was a thrifty-looking stalk four and one- half feet high, and contained one hundred and fifty bolls and squares. It was represented as a fair sample of the twelve-acre field from which it was cut The peculiarity which made it of interest consisted In the fact that it was a second-growth stalk. After picking nine bales, the planter irrigated tho patch and new shoots sprang up from the root and will have plenty of time to mature at least a bale to the acre. This was off of the land which this year pro- the earliest bale of cotton ever marketed. Neighboring farmers are treating their lands in a similar some cutting down the old stalks, while others planted new seed in between the old rows, and all have a fine prospect of profitable results. This incident is surprising in that it makes a double crop of cotton in one year from a single planting, but that is only an extreme- limited area, for the season else- where is too brief to permit growth and for more than one crop, and that not always en- satisfactory. The early frosts often do their deadly work before the crop Is fully ripe and ready for the pickers. The Texans will have to discover a good deal more such land before a second crop of cotton has any appreciable effect on the mar- Observer. Illinois M. E. Conference.

The Carolina Home and Farm and The REAL CONDITIONS Americans Are Helping to Cause the Trouble WILL BE THE PRESIDENT The Revolutionist Fought for What Is Robbed The Poorer Would be Better Off if Left Alone. The people in the states get little conception from the press dispatches and newspaper reports of the real conditions existing in Mexico. These dispatches tell mainly of bad things that transpire, with riots here and there and plunder everywhere, hence create the impression that all Mex- is in a revolution and is filled with robbers and murderers. Mr. Tripp, a Greenville boy, who a year or so ago went to San Francisco to take charge of a branch office of the publishing business of his brother, Mr. J. B. Tripp, was re- transferred to Mexico City, and The Reflector has received, a letter from him written on the day a riot occurred. Mr. Tripp also sent a copy of a Mexico paper con- an account of the and also several views, which he took of the parade. Believing that our readers ally will be interested in reading this letter from Mr. Tripp, we give them the opportunity. It You would possibly be Interested to know the real conditions of this country at the present, and what the Americans here think of the I have been down here for about three weeks and have been very optimistic the whole time, and dead in love with this country, until today. However, I am not very much alarmed over the day's excitement, and think there will not be anything serious over the political trouble that will affect the Americans here. We have a rotten American editor here who seems to get everything possible from the American papers regarding this country in a detrimental way and publishes it, keeping an feeling among the natives toward the American people in this country. For instance, in yesterday's paper there was a statement that the States had sent double troops to every military post on the Mexican border to be used in any trouble be- tween this country and the United States, and since this has been re- ported untrue. Anyway, whether it is true or not, the statement goes out and keeps an unfriendly feeling by Mexicans for us. As I see this country, it is in just about as good condition as most part of our States, and if our government will adjust and protect home mat- such as we have had in the West among the labor unions for the past few months, and leave Mexico alone, I think all of us would be better off. The Mexicans down here fought for what was right when they overthrew and after is elected, no doubt everything will go well and this country will be financially in much better condition than our states. This country now is more like our Southland was just after the north robbed our forefathers of their sub- stance and left them ignorant. These poor people here have been robbed by and others of his class and kept ignorant, making them lower than the commonest ever were in the South. They have no education, get no wages for their work, and have to give nearly all that to the government, which has been heretofore squandered among those few who ruled the country. They now have a leader and I re- in their Many of the people here are trying to keep out of power and elect Reyes, who ran against last election, and they are causing all the trouble in this country at the present. There may be serious here between now and the 15th of October, when the election is to be held. The common people here would accept De la but he has declined the nomination, as you know, therefore is the only one for the place, and will be elected or there will be the biggest revolution in this country there has ever been. If by chance is defeated, I shall leave this country by next rain. will no doubt be elected. The opposing party who are the money people of this country, can not afford to rule out, as it will not only be the means of them losing their money and property through revolutions, but they will their country. The common people are fighting for what is right and just, and I for one want to see them have justice. I was like the most of the Americans in my attitude of the situation, until I came down here and have studied the conditions. These poor people should have some consideration and should have the advantage of education, just the same as our poor people in the states, and the poor la- boring man should get enough for his work to buy his family meat and bread. Most of the Americans here, as well as in the states, favor and his party, simply because they were getting some of the resources which was robbed from these poor natives. I am a common man myself and take a common platform and want to see every man get what is justly due him. The trouble today arose from the Reyes sympathizers undertaking to parade the streets in a body of several thousand, but were dispersed and scattered when met by an op- posing party of and there followed a riot. To subdue them the mounted officers beat many of them down with their weapons. There were thousands of brick-bats, many clubs and hand pieces used but not a shot was fired in the whole time. The government guards were mediately called out, and soon re- stored order, but the have been the streets in bodies of to and threatening trouble all day. These poor ignorant fellows think they are doing the right thing, and are not conscious of the wrong they are doing. They are punished and kept down so near like dogs that some of them look at life as being nothing but mere and not living. Their Indian blood makes them a very peculiar class of people. If you are kind to them, they will be as respectful and humble as any in the South. While I sympathize with the poor peons personally, we do not get any- thing out of them, and our business is altogether among the better class of people. Since I have been here I have met some of the finest people I have ever met In my life, and the NORTH CAROLINA MISS HAWKINS MORE HONOR THE FIRST GUN AT YORKTOWN. Startling of Caswell, Fired the First Cannon at Yorktown. J. H. Kerr, of Warrenton, solicitor of the Second Judicial district, has been in Raleigh this week attending the Supreme court. Upon the occasion of a visit to his native county, Caswell, a short time ago, Mr. Kerr went out to the home of LaFayette Murray, who lives three miles from Yanceyville and who married a cousin of President Poteat, of Wake Forest College. On Mr. Murray's plantation there is an old cemetery, which has been served in good condition since the War of the Revolution, and Mr. ray took Mr. Kerr out to see this graveyard to show him a monument over the grave of a man whose re- markable deeds seem to have been overlooked In North Carolina. The Inscription on the monument is as lies the remains of Startling the place and time of his birth and Who fired the first cannon at York- town when Cornwallis surrender- ed to General Mr. Kerr said that the were an old modest family who long lived in Caswell county. In the earlier days they were among the largest land owners in the county, and were con- with the and other influential families and have descendants still living in the county. In those days Mr. Kerr said people were more modest than they are now, and this inscription would not have been put on the monument unless it had been true, and it shows that Caswell county, among its other great contributions North produced a soldier who deserved to rank with Wyatt at Bethel, Bag- at Cardenas and the invincible North Carolinians who gave the State glory at Bethel, Gettysburg, and Appomattox. In addition now to the claim that North makes of being at Bethel, furtherest to the front at Gettysburg and last at we can so add at which gives North primacy in every great war in the country has been engaged from the War of the Revolution to the War. FOUND IN LAKE has Body Found in Dead In The Water. HENDERSON VILLE, Sept. finding of the body of Miss Myrtle Hawkins, years old, and very in the blue waters of Lake Os- Sunday morning, deepens the mystery caused by tie disappearance of the daughter of W. H. Hawkins, a prominent business man of since Thursday. The body of tie girl was found floating on the lake by a little boy. The coroner's jury returned a verdict of death from unknown causes. As a matter of fact, there are rumors of suicide and of a worse crime having been committed. Miss Hawkins disappeared from her home last Thursday. A quiet search since failed to locate her. the in which she was found is encircled daily by hundreds of car- and automobiles. From the condition of the body, it is reasonable to suppose that she had been in the water for several days, but ample is also thereto shown that the girl was dead before her body touch- ed the water. Miss parents are very prominent here. It is said that opposition existed to Myrtle's approaching marriage to a young business man of Johnson City, Tenn. Believing she may have eloped with him, her parents, it is said, disliking publicity, instituted a search on this theory without asking the aid of officers. Fine Auctioneer.

HENDERSONVILLE, Sept. The veil of mystery that has rounded the death of Miss Myrtle Hawkins, the 17-year-old girl of Hen- whose body was found Sunday morning floating in is being lifted, and the investigation proceeds the disclosures made are becoming sensational. The theory of suicide has been en- and murder seems to have been established. Coroner William R. Kirk has an- that be will report the entire case, exhume the remains of Miss Hawkins, summon a second jury and give the case an exhaustive and com- inquiry. Her body in a state of was found in the lake Sunday morning, but the fact has been that death ensued at least hours before the body was placed in the water. Evidence brought out subsequent to the finding of the body point to the fact that the body had lain in the woods for hours wind and rain and sunshine. As stated before there were no of violence on the body, but decided signs of chloroform were found and the theory now exists that the murderer used the poison killing the young woman. People who were in the vicinity of the woods where it is claimed the Kill was say that screams were hoard Wednesday night as of a woman in dire distress, but no trace of anyone could be found upon investigation. Rewards are by the city and county and Governor Kitchin has asked to an additional reward.

Hayden, of Atlanta, prom- lawyer and student of who has just returned from a visit to the spinning districts of Eng- land, believes an plot is underway to depress the price of cotton during the opening season. Discussing its dimensions, its and the remedy, Mr. Hayden expressed himself yesterday as fol- lows to a Constitution tacit combine almost world- wide proposes to bear this year's cot- crop. It is a sympathetic strike. The spinners are closely organ- and between them and spinners there is a fraternal Community of interest.

These things do not require proof, for they are facts patent to those who observe, cotton gambler is a friend only to himself.

Only an exceptionally pretty girl can afford to be hard to please. Mr. Manning Still Apposed lo Sand- Clay GREENVILLE, N. C, Sept. Editor In reply to Y. I wish to say, that in my opinion the tax to keep the convicts is a general tax and if the bill does state that there shall not be any other road tax levied and collected in Greenville township, it doesn't state that there shall not be a general tax collected. The matter will bear investigating. Some of our men who know law ought to state the fact, and as to the sand- clay road not being a success, I will say that I have spoken from experience and as a student of I will go further and say that Pitt county hasn't the proper material to build sand- clay roads. Our clay is too soft with too much fine grit in it, and is easily washed away. A visit to almost any hill side in Pitt county will show gullies and barren land which will tell the tale. And furthermore, where are we going to get sand I heard a govern- expert say proper sand to use is a coarse sand with small stones in There isn't any such sand in this section except in Tar river. If we haul the sand from the river it will require or more to do that alone. Notice the sand-clay road and see the small gullies on its sides and notice the damage done already by washing Each rain does its part to destroy said road. Isn't it an injustice to the future to pay taxes on something that will be worn out long before said bonds are paid I say it is. Oh, you say is wonderful how anything could be of the service that this road is without even having its drains opened or surface smoothed since it was What did the convicts do when they worked it What did Mr. W. P. Clark do with the split log drag What has the road force done The law says a road overseer must work his road twice a Who will say that will build sand-clay roads over the entire town- ship and keep them in good condition for a period of years no truthful citizen will say it. The bill also states that the system that is now in force dies with the adoption of said bond issue. If there is a road system established it will require taxation and the bill says shall not be any other road tax levied and otherwise than the interest, etc., on said lands. Now, Mr. Y. show are are you going to get your system you caught in your own trap We will either this law or let the road wash away, and our children will pay the price which is able. Don't tell me that I am opposed to good roads. I advocate good roads. They mean so much for progress, but I am opposed to artificial sand-clay roads, they may be a success in the western part of this stale but we haven't got any of the western clay and stones. Therefore I say let the sand-clay roads build something better or keep our same road. Citizens I appeal to you to Think then act. JAMES T. MANNING.

It is always ready for any mark- et at top price, while loose hay must be sold near home, at what- ever you can get. --ti .,; H HAY PRESSES have many points of strength, simplicity, and convenience found in no other presses. They are equipped with a compound lever and a toggle joint plunger, which gives them great compress- poker. A pound pull on the sweep of a I H C press gives pounds pressure In the bale chamber.

IT WILL PAY Tobacco Farmers, Handle Your To. With Care. Standing on the warehouse floor a few days ago, a buyer remarked to me that he had just bought some to- on the floor that was grown by a very good farmer, but that the way it was graded and put on the market damaged the sale of it from two or three cents a pound. Said this are frequently making suggestions to the tobacco farmers which I think are good, if they would observe them, but you could not do anything that would pay them so well for the amount of expense and trouble as to get them to handle tobacco In this sentence, this particular farmer happened to be a man who has perfect control of his farm, and if he were to exercise him- self, could have . his tobacco in just such condition as to de- the best market price, when I reminded him of what the buyer had said about his tobacco, his mediate reply don't doubt it; for I could tell at a glance that my tobacco was not handled as well an the other tobacco on the floor, and called the attention of my tenants to Tobacco should be graded and hung on sticks in proper order, and then when put in bulk, the proper way to make it look well when put on the warehouse floor is to have a wide, heavy board, and as each stick of tobacco is bulked, straighten out the leaves and press it down with this board at the end of each day's grading. The tobacco ought to have a reasonable amount of weight on it, so that the leaves are all straighten- ed out, and if offered in this on the market, the leaves all stand out straight and show to the best possible advantage. Neatness all things on the farm pays and pays well, but in no particular In- stance do I believe it would pay bet- than in the particular manner of handling tobacco. O. L. JOYNER. ANNIVERSARY OF H.

The table was presided by the hostess, Mrs. H. B. Harriss, and her sister, Mrs. W. J. Turnage, and the good things served were too nu- to mention.
