According to the lat.- Governor, ,
Bickett, who dealt with this prison
during his administration, when he
made similar charges. Dudding is
an unconscionable liar about such
matters, and his breaks into the pub|
lieity columns of the newspapers,
now and then, are prompted by love
of notoriety and desire to get himself
into the limelight.
Any person who knows George
Ross Pou, superintendent of the
State Prison the last two years
docs not believe Mr. Pou would permit
such conditions as are represented
in the Dudding "charges," to obtain
? single hour, with his knowledge.
As he is a particularly effi- ]
cient and able officer, no one will
credit the statement that such conditions
could exist without h.s

Trip to Gotham Results
in Successful Disposition
of the Desired
Bonds
By Maxwell Gorman
State Treasurer Lacy, who last
week went t? N? w York with Governor
Morrison. on n bond-selling
trip, is hark and tells about how the
liovornor successfully conferred with
the financiers of that city -n dispo*.
in? of tK?? V*r?nrl; the State desired
to sell at this time. Talking to a
newspaper man. Treasurer Lacy paid
Lhat no Tur Heel who has risen to
tell Gotham about North Carolina
ever has done a better job than
Governor Morison executed it on
their last trip, and the money-keeper
is proud of the executive.
Financial papers wore giving the
State the seasonal advertising of a
rather bad character. The bonded
indebtedness was getting rather
lengthy write-ups. The bond buyer
carried ill news without unfavorable
comment and the bond buyers were
beginning to talk a littlt. about the
State debt. Hut one day th?? bankers
went up about forty stories high
in one of those celestially inclines!
buddings and had lunch. From tho ?
aerial heights the Governor gave
them a view of the bondlessly rich
state. And hard-headed men handed
it to him. (
"Why there was one of those $75.000-a-year
salaried men sitting near
men." said Mr. Lacy, "and he told me
that nobody could beat that speech.
And they said nobody ever had been
there and presented North Carolina >
better to them. This man said: *th:it
Governor is smart.' " a sentiment in
which Mr. Lacy shared.
How much the selling of the State
was hampered by publications which
tell the uglified or the unpretty side
of the commonwealth, Mr. Lacy
wouldn't say. He doesn't think they
are in a cabal against him. nor does
he imagine they care less /or the
State than other misguided folks do.
But the State Treasurer, who has;
been going north with Aycock, Glon.'
Kitchin, Craig and Beckett, says none j
of these superlative orators ever told
the Yankees a more impressive story j
of the State than did Governor Morrison.

3ROODY BIDDY
AY WAYS CAUSES
LOSS OF EGGS
Raleigh.?"A hen is always in
;l laying condition when she goes
broody and if th's condition is broken
up at once she will almost immediately
go back to laying. If she
is allowed to remain on the nest for j
several days, wohever, the ovary and
oviduct will gradually recede to- a
dormant condition and several weeks
of production by this hen will be
lost at a time when eggs are most.
needed. One should heg'n breaking
up the broody condition at once by
placing the hen in a specially constructed
broody coop," says Dr. R.
F. Kaupp, in charge of poultry investigations
for the Stale College and
experiment Station.
Dr. Kanpn states that a good g
broody coop can bp made from laths
slatted otj all sides including the
bottom. This coop can either be
placed on legs or hung from a tree.
By placing the hen in such a coop
just as soon as she begins to cluck,
and remain on the nest, and by watering
and feeding her grain and laying
mash. Dr. Kaupp finds that she
will start laying again within three nr
four days. She can then bo returned
to the laying houae. j
Dr. Kaupp advises that as soon as ^
the hen is placed in the broody coop, i
she should be fed at once so as not
to have a chance to absorb the yolks j c
that are developing in the ovary. By j ]
having the bottom of the coop slat-1 1
ted the hen cannot hover and soon j c
gives up the tendency to broodincss. i
If the hen is left on the nest or t
if she ?* not fed properly she will <
reabsorb the eggs which are already a
developed so that the care of water-1 i
ing and feeding must be done right. <
Throwing the hen off the nest, i
dipping her in cold water, Or not
feeding hei, is abuse only and will 1
not break her up. says Dr. Kaupp. <
This will often cause trouble, 1
