In accordance with the sentiment exprested by a well attended citizens meeting at ihe court house, callcl ty Mt:vor R. L. Holmes, a c-/i|» ci engineers, consisting of Messrs. 11. F. Wideman. and F. J. Kies of Atlanta and E. M. Gregory of Charleston, S. C., from the Sol omon-Norcross Co. of Atlinta, are here working cn a survey to de termine the feasibility and approx imate cost o( a sewerage system /or Graham. The meeting expressed a wil lingness for -the Town Board to spend as much as $750 in making the survey, and whether it shall be determined at the completion of the survey to go ahead with put ting in the system, or whether it is done later the survey will he made and ready for action and the work will not have to be done over. The health of a community can not be counted in dollars and cents, and no town can hope to grow that cannot offer a reasonable assur ance to those who would make it their home that the health of the community is being j»roperly car ed for. At no time has the State paid so much attention as now to health, and- laws looking to con serving the health of the people in town and country are finding their way to the statute books each session of the State Legis lature. Graham is as healthful, perhaps, more so,than the averge town, but that is not enough. It should, in Justice to itself, stand in the front ranks, and the expenditure of any sum that the community can bear Without being a burden is justi fiable. An airplane flight from France to Australia will be attempted shortly by the French aviator Poalet. ♦ + + PERSONAL. + » ♦ Mr. Chas. P. Cates of Mebane was here yesterday on bu'Miesi. Mr. E. N.

C., Sept. 24. — Preparations are under way to make "North Carolina State Col lege Day," October 3rd, a State wide event. On this date, or as near thereto as possible, each of the twenty-nine county and city alumni associations will hold its annual meeting and celebrate the anniversary of the founding of the college, October 3,1889, thirty years ago. The counties and cities having associations, which are expecting to meet locally for this occasion, are: Alamance, Beaufort, Bun combe, Craven, Catawba, Cumber land, Durham, Forsyth, Giston, Guilford, Harnett, Iredell,Lenc.ir, Mecklenburg, Moore, New Han over, Pasquotank, Pitt, Richmond, Robeson, Ilowau, Wake, Wayne, and Wilson counties; Atlanta, Ga., Birmingham, Ala., New York City, Washington, D. C., and Tidewater, Va., at Norfolk. The objects of these associa tions, as expressed by the Tide water, Va., group, are to continue the friendships formed in college days; to aid and co-operate with the General Alumni Association; to encournge the development of athletics; and to aid in the pro gress and betterment of the North Carolina State College. Most of these meetings are tak ing the form of a banquet, supper or smoker, and while they are usually largely of a social, in formal natuie, much of construc tive value to the College results. Two subjects which are interest ing the alumni of State College especially at the present time are the memorial to its heroes who were killed in the recent war and the State College-Carolina foot ball game which will be played on Riddick Field, Thursday of Fair Week, October 23d. These and numerous other current and vital topics will doabtleM be takea up for disenssioo at the local gather ings on State College Day.

Town of Graham ana Mutual Light and Power Co. Temporarily ( ] Restrained - Hearing Oct. 4th ...... • .1 The following from the Greens-' boro Daily News of last- Friday ( affecting; this community is of more than usual interest: Litigation affecting thousands . of people in Graham, Burlington and' in other sections of Alamance county, found its way into the United States district court of western North Carolina yesterday when J. R Paschal and Waru.-r Moore of Richmond, Va., insti tuted legal action against the mayor and commissioners of the towu of Graham and the Mutual Light and Power company, of Graham. The complainants appeared be fore Judge James E. Boyd filed a bill in equity, asking for an injunction against the tuwn of Graham and the Mutual Light and Power company on the ground that the town of Gratiatu was tak ing action to abrogate contracts made by the municipality with the Piedmont Light and Power company. Electric power for the mills in and around Graham, as well as mills in and around Burlington,* and for the operation of streetcars between Burlington and Haw River is furnished by the Pied mont Light and Power company. 1 By making contracts with the Mutual Light and Power company, 1 the officials of the town of Gra ham are taking action which would supplant the Piedmont Light and Power company, the complainants contend. It is contended by tho complain auts that the franchise granted to the Mutual Light anil Power com pany for the operation of btisi uess in Graham was issued irregu larly, only two of the five town commissioners having voted af firmatively on the proposition aud only three votes haviug been cast. Tho franchise of the Mutual com pany is for a period of 50 years, aud the complainants argue that it would greatly diminish tho busi ness of the Piedmont organiza tion. In fact, it is contended that the new franchise would serve to render the business of the Pied mont of very little value. Under direction of Judge Boyd, a subpoena in equity was issued yesterday, returnable in the United States court here October 4, next. Notice also was issueti to the defendants to show cause at the hearing before Judge Boyd, October 4, why injunction should not issue, restraining the grant ing of a franchise to the Mutual Light and Power company. A temporary restraining order, for bidding the town of Graham aud the Mutual Light and Power com pany from proceeding, was issued here yesterday, and this instru ment will be effective until the hearing on October 4. Crimson and Red Clover Good Winter Cover Crops. West Raleigh, N. C., Sept. 21. — Critnsou clover Mtnuds at the heitd of all clovers as a winter cover crop for most States south of the Mason and Dixon line, according to the agronomy specialists of the North Carolina Agricultural Ex tension Servico. However, in the extreme northern part of the South and also in the mountain ous regions, the stand may be greatly injured some years by cold weather. The crop is not expensive to seed and it has the advantage over most clovers in ttiat it makes good start before cold we.ither sets in. Early planting is preferable to late planting. The young plants should get at least ten weeks of growth before the first frost. From 12 to 20 pounds of seed should be planted per acre. In oculation is necessary as is the case wi'th all the clovers with the exception of bur clover. As green manuring and hay crops, crimson clover is of first importance. Because of its early growth it may be turned under early in the spring. A yield of from Ito tons per acre 6f hay may bo expected from the average North Carolina soils. Red clover makes the best cover 1 crop when it is planted early and on good fertile land. Although growth is made throughout the winter, its rate of growth in creases as spring comes on. For ' this reason, if maximum r. suits are to be secured from red clover, the planting of the following crop must be delayed. The rate of seeding should be about the same as that for crim son clover. Bed clover may i used for the'same purpose as i crimson clover. When it is to be used as a green manuring crop, it may be plowed under either when the plants are from 3 to I inches ' in height, or after the blooming period. If the crop is to be cat for hay, the cutting must not be delayed longer than the period of full bloom, for when cutting is delayed longer, the plant has a i tendency to become woody am*. j ru npalatable.

The Whole Secret of A Better Tire / Simply a Matter of the Maker*s Policies v This you will realize—once you try a Brunswick—that a super-tire is possible only when the name certifies that the maker is follow ing the highest standards. For tire making is chiefly a mat ter of standards and policies—cost plus care. Any maker can build a good tire if he cares to pay per fection's price. All men know Brunswick stand ards, for Bruaswick products have been famous for 74 years. Formulas, fabrics and standards vary vastly in cost. Reinforce ments, pF~s. and thickness are a matter of expense. And these vari ations affect endurance. It rests with the maker how far he wishes to go how much he can afford to give. For there are no secrets nor pat ents to hold one back.
