Parties have been here lately in quiring for houses with the intention of moving here. It would pay some one to build some nice cottages for rent and at thi same time would be helpful to the town. For a year or two the prices of building materials and workmen have been so high that many have been deterred from build ing, and fur sometime to come it does not look like the prices will be very materally lower.

To Raise $125,000 For Endowment of Elon College. A campaign.is now starting to raise $125,000 for the endowment fund of Elon College. The College needs this amount to put it in the proper place among American Colleges—o give it the proper rating as a high class col leges. It has done a wonderful work with a meagre endowment and the in come from tuition fees, but its pos sibilities are large and promising and to meet them a new souice ol revenue must be provided.

Royster, whose advertisement appears in another part of this paper, when he says, "I 'like to think that the success of the Royster brands of fertilizer is due to the success of their users ; that their growth is due to the growth of the crops tht-y fed. lam proud of the success of my business but am proud er still of the success of the cus toiners who made it. The Royster business has grown under my own eyes from 250 tons to 400,000 tons in the 33 years which I have devoted to it but the satisfaction in this growth is nothing compared to that which I have in the knowledge that it is an expression of lha apprecia tion by my customers of values given them." Mr. Royster wants his customers to know that he still owns and con trol the business and is personally interested in his customers, old and new. He will be glad to bear from them, with accounts of their use of the goods or have them submit for advice any of their plant-fcod problems. BETTER DRINKING WATER ON THE FARM Experiment Station Bacteriologist Gives Excellent Advice. Co-operativo Station Service, B W. Kilgore, Director. If you suspected that the water you drink was mixed with teach ings from the manure pile and was full of wriggling bacteria, what would you do about it ? The thought is bad enough, but the reality is worse. To drink such water is the same as taking a inild dose of poison, due to the pres ence of decaying organic ui.ttter and also to the activities of the bacteria. Not only may the water be poisonous, but the bacteria themselves are very likely to bo of such a species that th. y would be able to cause typhoid, dysentery, or other forms of sick ness. The reality may be found in many North Carolina wells or cisterns, because of overlooked or neglected contamination iu tire .source of supply. This is the time of the year when repaiis may be most conveniently nrde to both well or cistern, and a pure supply of water assured for use during the summer. Pure water is clear, absolutely without taste or odor, and when freshly drawn, sparkles. If the water used for drinking purposes has either a smell or taste, soine ing is wrong and that something should be attended to at once. The "At Once" part of the pro gram is emphasized iu order that future cases of sickness may be avoided. Even if the water is ap parently in good shape, a thor ough examination should be made to bo sure that there are no cracks or crevices through which an out side contamination inii'ht enter. A well is merely a reservoir for the storage of underground water, just aa a cistern is a reservoir for storing rain water. If surface, or palluted water gets into either of them, the whole supply is con taminated and its use for drink ing purposes becomes a dangerous practice. Avoid such a condition of af fairs by repairing all possible leaks in aud about the well or cistern. The well curbing should be cemented on the outside from a point three feet below the grouud level, to the top aud earth banked against 'his in such a in in ner tbat all surplus water will drain away from and not into the well. The wafer should be jump ed off aud all sediment removed from the bottom aud sides of well or cistern. The cover should re ceive careful attention to avoid a leak of any kind. If the cover is made of wood, all partially ae cayed planks should be removed, careful attention paid to the fit ting of cover on top of well to keep out frogs' and Insects, and the crack filled with some water proof substance as asphalt or tar.

Chapel Hill, Feb. 18.—The Stevens-Scales road bill for the establishment of a State road con struction fund for the building of State Highways and.meeting fed eral Aid has been voted down In the Senate and displaced by the Stacy substitute. The Stevens- Scales bill insures by what vfe be lieve to be the fairest method a fund sufficient to meet the Fed eral Aid allotment and at the same time a maintenance fund for taking care o( the roads until the more permanent roads are bnilt. Also it insures a square deal to the smaller rural counties, as it guarantees roads connecting all oounty seats. The Stevens-Scales bill provides the fund through in creased licenses on automobiles and other motor vehicles plus a State bond issue not to exceed a million dollars iu any one year, which would distribute the bur den fairly between the' class of people who would use these through highways most, and the general public. Jf such a tax is on a class of people, it is also for the benefit of a class of roails which will benefit that class of people most. This bill also makes it possible to meet the Federal Aid throughout the ten year period contemplated in the Bank head bill. The Stacy substitute calls for two and a quarter million dollars in bonds a year, for two years, does not provide for a sufficient maintenance fund (which will queer the whole project two years from now) and does not provide for adequate support of the State Highway Commission. It also gives the richer and more thickly settled counties a very decided advantage over the smaller, poor er rural couuties. A bill has been introduced into the House this week providing a 50c. tax on automobiles and allow ing the counties, through tax or bond issue, to pay one-fourth of the cost of the construction of the State Highways. Next to the Stevens-Scales bill wo think this the most favorable bill for the State generally. This House measure was introduced by Rep resentative McCoin of Vance county. This is the m9St constructive measure ever proposed for North Carolina and will place our State among the progressive States of tho Union aud put us in a better position to take advantage of the great era of expansion which we believe is immediately ahead of the United States.

One of the most interesting wrecks on record is that, of c-fche British frigate Lutine, which was sunk oIT the coast of Holland in 1799. It was customary in those days to carry much gold and silver on war vessels, and this particu lar ship was known to have 1,900 gold bars and 500 bars of silver with a total value of over six mil lion dollars. It was driven around in a storm and sank in compara tively shallow water. Great Britain at that time was at war with France, and Holland, an ally of France, claimed the frigate as a prize of war. The water was so shallow that at low tide it WHS possible for a fisherman to reach it With scoops and grapples am) recover some of ite treasure. A salvage company organized by the Dutch people to recover the wealth of the Lutinesucceeded in getting not more than half a million dol lars' worth of gold and silver. The position of the wreck, how ever, was decidodly unfavorable. It was in an exposed spot and the bottom was swept by strong tidal currents. Gradually it became buried in sand, nnd all salvage operations had to cease. There are other rich treasures in the soa, writes A. Russell Bond in Everybody's. In Cum ana Bay, Venezuela, lies the wreck of the Spanish flagship, Sail Pedro, with■ $2,000,000 worth of gold on board, which so far has defied all at tempts to salvage. The richest treasure of all is probably a Span ish galleon, sunk ofT Lizard Point on the Cornish coast, in 1784, which'is believed to have aboard ♦85,000,000 worth of gold. But we need not go so far afield for valuable wrecks. Our own lakes are filled willi them. In faot, Lake Huron is known locally as the "Lake of Sunken Treasure," It is estimated that some $12,- 000,000 worth of gold and silver is buried iti the depths of the Great .Lakes. WANT ADS.
