with much interest.
X ROARS ITEMS.
It is quite evident that the Carolina
club is getting ready to do things.
The idea of inviting Dr. Smith to de-
liver an address in the club Monday
night was indeed a happy one. Re-
was expressed by the present
members for the non-appearance of

was Interesting and instructing, and
as great an address as we have ever
heard. Dr. Smith dealt In a brilliant
style with the progress of mankind
to the present state of affairs and
still went beyond prophesying a world-
wide community that when a fact
will make a regular Arcadia of Moth-
Earth. Beginning with the
cal revolutions which brought with
them the emancipation of men and
women from the servility of king-
trodden countries, going through the
progress brought with it by
tries, up to the substitution of mere
muscle power by natural power
by the brain of men, and fin-
ally coming to the perfect
living. Dr. Smith held the attention
of his audience every second of his
very interesting talk. In concise
speech and brilliant manner he told
of the perfect understanding that
must be brought Into each
In order to have a beau-
physically and
ally, If we may speak of a town In
such personal terms.
No doubt that Dr. Smith's address
at the club will sink deep into the
heart of every member who heard
him and that the seed sown will find
ready ground In the minds of the
people of Greenville.
Mr. J. B. Higgs then made some
remarks on the waterways
that were very timely.
Attention was then called to the
fact that the Atlantic Coast Line good
roads train will spend tonight in
Greenville, and the suggestion was
made to have the gentlemen on the
train visit the club tonight and ad-
dress the people of the town on the
good roads question. A committee

marbles. This is the ideal condition
of the subsoil for breaking. To sub-
soil in the spring or early summer,
when it ls wet is of doubtful value,
and sometimes does much actual
harm.
The same facts also largely apply
to deep plowing, that is, to plowing
that is deeper than the land hag been
previously broken. The objection lo
deep plowing in the fall is that if
winter-grown are sown a

rains fall at the right time. This
can only be overcome by early
breaking and frequent harrowing be-
fore the are sown.
Another objection to deep plowing
or in the fall that the
ground is so hard that it breaks up
and too much team force is
required to do the work. The first
difficulty can be overcome to some ex-
tent by disking the land before It ls
plowed, and then harrowing or disk-
the same day after it ls plowed.
The necessity for more team force
can not be avoided. It requires more
teams to plow hard ground, but It
requires more team force than we
posses to do good plowing at any
time and we may as well begin to
shape our plans for securing the
needed Increase In work
In numbers and weight
The disk plow will break hard land
better than tho plow, but
It requires force to pull It. There ls
no way of avoiding this. We don't
need that run light; for no one
ever saw a plow do good work that
ran light The plow that does what
should be expected of a plow Is
to pull hard and require good
team force to handle It.
