DIES IN CHARLOTTE
Illness Fata! to Observer Writer
at Age of 77. Was Frequent

? XSXIUC EEI ET it.
Colonel vVade H. Harris, editor of
tlie Charlotte Ohss-vcr and frequent
summer visitor to Boone and Blowing
Rock, died at his horae in Charlotte
Saturday after an extended illness.
He was 77 years old.
Air. Harris, connected with the Observer
company for more thr.n half a
century and editor of The Observer
since 1912, continued his editorial duties
until last Christmas.
His newspaper career extended ov.tr
60 years. Ho became editor of the
Concord Sun, a weekly in his home
town, at the ago of 17.
Mr. Harris served as city editor
of the Wilmington Sun from 1879 until
1SS0. He joined the Observer staff
in 1S82.
Six years later he started out for
himself, founding the Charlotte Xcvvs,
an afternoon paper. In 1894 he reti?rne*l
to writV u*i He the Ohrorvpr
company as editor of the Charlotte
Evening Chronicle, an afteronon paper
published at that time by the
Observer.
Mr Harris was credited by many
with being responsible for North Carolina
casting its vote for the nomination
of Weodrow Wilson in 1912
When he became editor of the Observer
on the eve of the State Democratic
convention, the newspaper
had been supporting Oscar W Underwood
of Alabama, but Harris reversed
its position overnight.
Democrats in the State were very
sharply divided between Wilson and
Underwood. The morning of the convention
the Raleigh News and Ob-1
server, a strong Wilson paper, came
out with its leading editorial endorsing
Wilson.
The Charlotte paper reached Raleigh
about r.ooi) and copies found
their way to the convention hall. Josephus
Daniels, editor of the Raleieli
News and Observer, saw the editorial
endorsing Wilson, and noted the Observer's
changed position.
He had the Observer editorial reproduced
on thousands of hand bills
printed in large type and distributed j
them among the delegates. The con- :
vcuticn instructed its delegates for 1
Wilson. I
jjjr. Harris is survived by :;'1 widow.
1 ho former Miss Cora Springs,!
whom he married in 1881; a daughter, I
Miss Cora Annette Harris; a son,!
Richard P. Harris; six sisters and
three grandchildren. I
Mr. Harris was a delegale-at-large |
to the Democratic national conventions
of 1920 and 1928. He held only
one public office during his life time.
He was president of the North Carolina
Railroad company, an appointive
position, in the administration of i
former Governor Cameron Morrison, j
The honorary degree of Doctor of
Law3 was conferred on him by Davidson
College in 1931.
Funeral srevices were held in Charlotte
Sunday at 3 p. m. at the First
Presbyterian Church. Dr. Albert Sidney
Johnson, tire pastor, and Dr. R.
O. Anderson, of Montrcat, conducted
the rites. Interment followed in Elmwood
cemetery.
Col. Harris was well known to
many Watauga County people. During
the past thirty years he had frequently
spent his summers at Elowing
Rock, and the editorial columns of
his paper frequently carried glowing
praise for the Northwest section of
Carolina.

State Fairs Emphasizes ?
Work of Farm Clubs j
Members of i-IT clubs in North j
Carolina are taking a vely interes q
ill the riiih exhibits ami demonstra- t]
tions to be held at the State Fair this ti
fall
Over the State, said I. H Harrill, ti
club leaders at State College, boys lc
and girls, have been working hard to e:
get ready for the fair, and the 4-H iC
department is expected to be one of i
tne main atiraeliuna on the fair i a
grounds, |n
The boys are grooming their calves -p
and t'neiv hogs and taking extra good ! a
eatv of thc'ir poultry flocks. Harrill t.
pointed out, to say nothing of the ii
crops to be exhibited. The club corn
show is one of the annual features of 1
the Fair. n
The girls are practicing demonstra- I
ions with foot), nutrition, clothing and
home improvement projects to illus a
irate, the work they have been doing t
during the past year. v
Mar.y of the boys who have been v
working with animals are busy study- j
j :ng the points to consider in apprais- f
| ing animals, so they may enter the r
judging- contest. 8
Dofh boys and girls are interested a
in making a good showing for club s
work. Harrill stated, but Uiey aiso t
have the stimulus of the $1,067 in
prize money to he awarded the win- c
ners. a
And all ti lis, he continued, is In- ?
creasing their interest in club proj- >
ects at home, for they are experiene- i
ing the joy of doing things well and
of realizing the fruits of their own
work.
In addition to the cash prizes, there
will also be the four-year scholarship
to State College offered by former
Senator and Mrs. Cameron Morrison
to the club member making the
best record with Jerseys over a period
of two years, and the Quail Roost
Cup, offered by George Watts Hill,
of Durham, to the member making
the best record with Guernseys in
1035.
BEES NEED CAREFUL
ATTENTION DURING FA LI.
The value of next year's honey
crop is largely dependent upon the
care and management given the bee
colonies this fall.
If the colonies are carried through
: the fall and winter in good shape,
they will be ready for heavy production
in the spring, said Frank Meacham,
entomologist at State College,
j Give ail colonies a thorough exam!
inatior, in September, he urges beeI
keepers, and ray careful e.ttention to
the condition of the queen, amount
of hcr.ey, number of bees, and space
for brood rearing and nectar storage.
Young queens are best, since they
produce a large amount of brood in
August, September and part cf October.
Bees produced at this time are
the ones which survive the winter.
Three-banded or leather colored
Italian queens, which can be purchased
for 50 cents each from reliable
breeders, are most desirable, Sfeacham
stated. Replace all queens over
a year old, or black and failing
queens.
A colony which does not contain
the equivalent of two or three Hoffman
frames full of brood on September
1st is hardly worth wintering
by itself. Often such colonies are not
able to survive the winter.
Weak colonies can be united with
strong ones by placing them together
with a sheet of newspaper between.
By the time the bees eat holes
through the paper, they will have become
acquainted with one another
and will not fight.
Golden rod, aster or iron weed, and
hear tease or smartweed in many sections
of tho State will yield a few
pounds of honey in the fall. Thi may
be added to the winter feed supply,
placed on the. market, or transferred
to colonies whose food is short, Meacham
pointed out.

Skimping on Poultry
Feed False F.conomj
A mistaken sense of economy frc

coir hens sparingly during the moul

But nl tempts to save feed at thi:
me will cost the poultrymen in tin
ing run, warns Roy S. Dearstyne
^tension poultry specialist at State
ollege.
When birds are fed scratch feci
lone or only a limited amount o
lash, he pointed out,' the moultim
eriod is prolonged ar.d they arc un
bio to put on the necessary weigh

season.
The result is a mop in egg pro

Since most poultry flocks arc raor

Hamilton Addresses Meeting
In a speech before a mass meeting |;
of Republicans which followed the:',
executive meeting, John Hamilton,
general co- nsel of the Republican na- i
tional committee, criticized the ad-'
ministration of President Roosevelt
tor its policies and expenditures.
Hamilton said the administration |
had been marked by "pretty phrases j
and empty platitudes" and that at no j!
time had the president "a definite,
program in mind."
Hamilton asserted that the United |
States, from the founding of the |
country to the inauguration of Wood- |
row Wilson, had spent only $24,000,000.000,
including every emergency, I
whereas President. Roosevelt had!
f spent that much in two and a half
years.
The speaker forecast fundamental
:1 issues would be brought forth in the
- coming campaign "as never before."
On one hand," he said, "will be
3 presented through the candidacy of
; President Roosevelt theories and
, practices of Socialism and Commun
3 | ism. Through the medium of the Rej
publican party, there will be present1
c'J a mode of expression for those
f | who still adhere to Americanism and
> the American constitution."
A number of Watauga County ReL
publicans attended the meeting.
POULTRY QUESTION
Is there any objection to putting
e poultry scratch feed in the litter .'
I, Answer: This practice is unsanitary
and dangerous to the flock from
aja health standpoint. The litter in the
d! poultry houses, as a general rule, is
y | not changed as often as necessary,
s I and thus becomes soiled with the
| droppings. As this mixture of litter
hjand droppings increase, the danger
r | from y "seascs also ino
. crease. Worm eggs and other interh
r.al parasites are picked up with the
d : scratch feed together with disease
II. germs and the result is an unhealthy
j and low producing flock.
i- j through the moulting period are cone
I sidered most profitable. Dearstyne
11 j continued. An abundance of good
r-. feed will help keep the birds in lay
| and shorten the period required for j
g j moulting.
