Scored Big Hit
The Dramatic Club of Chowan Col
lege scored a decided hit here on last
Wednesday when they presented
"The Merchant of Venice" in a highly
successful manner. The true Shakes
perian costumes lent much color and
effectiveness to the clever production.
It would probably be an injustice to
single out any particular star of the
casts since they aH performed their
parts so well but Shylock played by
Misa Knott drew much favorable
comment from all sides.
At six o'clock the ladies of the
club with some gentlemen attendants,
marched to the Court house where
they were served a buffet luncheon in
the reception room of Miss Swindell's.
Misa Swindell was assisted by the
young ladies of the town. The play
was staged here under the auspices
of the Capitol Club, and to the mem
bers of the social committee of this
club we are grateful for such a classi
cal entertainment.
COUNTY BAR MfiETC H
WDfTON TOJ5ET CASES
Heavy Dockets Of Both Crimi
nal And Civil Actions For
April Session
Twenty-live criminal actions, and
more Shan 200 civil cases are await
ing trial before Hertford County
superior court.
Members of the bar in this county
met in Winton Monday morning to
arrange the calendar for the two
weeks' term of court which begins
April 16th, and found plenty of busi
ness awaiting the court. Several
criminal cases were carried over from
the February term, and these togeth
er with new infractions of the lsws
has piled up for the next session a
large number of criminal cases. No
attempt will be made to get to the
civil docket until Wednesday of the
first week.
Among the major criminal cases
will be a charge of murder against
Carey Vaugan, colored, of Murfrees
boro. He was bound over from jus
tice's court for the alleged killing of
hi* ??n. whose body was covered with
bruises, lacerations, and wounds.
Other criminal actions of minor im
pprtance, unless the grand jury can
unearth something of graver import
Acting upon the suggestion of At
torney W. W. Sogers of Ahoskie, the
county lawyers last Monday each
selected five cases they wished to be
tried at thi? term of corprt, and made
up the set calendar. If, after these
cases are disposed of. there is still
time left, the attorneys will seek
priority for actions in which they are
counsel.
J. H. Mitchell vs. Town of Ahoskie,
in which the plaintiff is demanding
$2,600 damages alleged to have re
sulted from the dumping of the town
sewer into his pasture will not come
up for trial at the April term of
court The appeal of the R- J. Baker
estate in the matter of settlement for
property condemned for street pur
poses in Ahoskie is included on the
calendar, and will be heard. It is
thought the heirs are now willing to
accept the findings of the board of
arbiters appointed to appraise the
land in question. The amount award
ed was $1,200.
Judge Frank A. Daniels will pre
side over the April session.

Norfolk fertiliser manufacturers
end distributors whose nam* is legion
sre interested in result# of tests mods
st Cornell University, sod the subse
quent appeal of that institution to
termers to use high-analysis fertili
sers in preference to any others. This
announcement reads as follows:
"The fertiliser that is cheap per
ton is not necessarily the most prof
itable one to use. In case of factory
mixed fertilisers, the reverse is gen
erally true. Invariably high analysis
mixed fertilisers furnish plant food
at a lower price per unit than do these
of low analysis, and will generally be
found to return greater profit on the
investment
The soils specialists at the Geneva,
N. Y. Experiment Station, in this con
nection, recently made a series of im
portant tests, the outcome of which
is set forth in the following announce
ment:
Tests conducted on nine soils in
various parts of the State with barley
as the test crop, resulted in much
larger yields in each case from com
mercial fertiliser than from stable
manure containing the same quantity
of plant food. Fertilisers applied to
poor soils gave a larger yield of bar
ley than the same treatment to fertile
soil.
Commenting on the test work, the
station states, "Results are thought
to indicate that plants accumulate a
large amount of the nitrogen and
mineral ingredients required by them
during the early stages of growth;]
and that in greenhouse culture and
vegetable gardening, and for the pro
duction of such crops as cabbages,
potatoes and wheat, an adequate sup
ply of immediately available plant
would seem to be essential to success
ful crop production."
licious refreshments were served and
various games played. The guests
present included Nell Nelson Powell,
