The tire was small and did practially
no damage. Onr fire department

No-Ran Game
Accompanied by a large crowd of
wide-awake and enthuaiaatio fana
ibe Louiaburg dab left Tuesday -p.
m., to oroea bats with the fast and
clever team - of Youngs villa. It was
the first eanin of the aeaaan tnr I.nn.
isburg, bat her players-showed ap in
excellent form and ear town may expect
to see some good ball playing.
Hedgpeth . pitched a great game,
striking oat 14 men aad not allowing
a single clear bit. While Un
i derwoOd for Youngsville etrnok out
' ten men and clearly demonstrated
' the fact that he, too, belongs to faat
company. This youngster has the
i essentials of a big pitcher; he's get
i the carves, he's got the speed and
best of all he's got tbe beadwork.
Stone in right-field played sensational
ball. He made the prettiest
one hand-eatoh ever seen in the field.
To the bleechers it look impossible,
bu; there are -no impossibilities for
' Stone on the ball field. He simply
1 verified his usual statement in this
' particular instance: "If yon start in
' time you'll getthein in time."?Stone
' also got a dear 3 bagger that would
have been an eaBy home ruA had the
ball not struck lh6~-ohimney ot Mr.
B. H. Winston's house and turned to
' its persuer like a long ebaeed fox in
' surrender. Stone, Hedgpeth and
Turner got two baggers and Lee and
Yarborough singled.
* It was a nice, clean and satisfactory
game from beginning to end,
full ef good plays and devoid of. any
' kicking or objectionable features.
Youngsville has a fast club of clever
egntlemanly players and we hope to i
1 have them down for another game j
1 aeon.

is expected that the convention- will
be the greatest ever held by the
Farmers' Union, which is giving
hearty support to business and edi>-'
cational matters aud is steering abso-<
lately clear of politics or what
smacks of politics.
The Advisery Committee of the

During the day thr delegation
from the Farmers' Union visiter! the
A. and M. College to see what was
being done at the May School of
Agriculture, and after inapecting
what w^ going on the member*
were moat vigorous in indorsement
of thia kind of agricultural training
for teachers. Especially impressed
were the members to find tha? with
some thirty odd in attendance there
were in the oiass twenty-seven
young lady teachers taking the agricultural
course.

by President H, Q. Alexander,

nd that what waa wanted there
ras teachers trained in just such ^
l.ings as they were being trained in
t the May school. He asked each
eacher who?wanted?tr poeiUon
or thenext year to write to him,
hat thecountv wanted jnat auoh
eaohera.
Mr. W. \ S. Cobb, of Lumber
bridge, president of the Farmers'
Jnion of Robeson oounty, and the
Secretary of the State Educational
(omtnittee, who is one of the pro- ^
[receive leaders in development in
toberson, told of ' the advanced
itepa taken in his oounty and of itf to
jrestige. Most vigorously he declared,
that Robeson county would he
tot allow teachers trained in agrioul;ure
to be absored by Meoklinburg he
county, and he requested to Prof. F,
L. Stevens, the superintendent! m
thathe be furnished with a list of the
teachers at the May school, so that
fcbtaqson county might get its share c
of theoly-tjiat it would speak at once
for the twenty-^even lady teachers Wl
and that if they wlmted positions all Wl
they had to do wsiNo m?ke it

Mr. H. D. Edgerton, of Franttlhs. Jia
oounty, chairman of the Educational
committee, then entered a plea 8e
fat Franklin county, that it wanted to
the teachers and the eesire for
teachers trained in agriculture could wl
not have been more forcefully ex- ^
pressed nor the opportunity that
training to teach agriculture affords ?
VY
could net bare been better illustrated
0t
This practical demonstration of interest
occurred after the Farmers'
Union representatives, consisting of ^
State officers, educational and other
committees had sat through several tci
of the regular school exercises. l'
Among the exeroises which were at V
tended was a lestvre on poultry
culture by Prof. Jeffry. in which the tl
method a of rearing, caring, deeding, S
etc., ware discussed as well as the C
chief breeds adopted to ese in this
section. Prof. Stevens exhibited aj
specimens of several of the most JI
common serious plant diseases and di
gave remedies for them. Amoug
the diseases discussed were grape r?
black rot, applo scab, peion teab. |)(
Methods of prerention by spraying,
bagging, etc., were explained.
Prof. R. I. Smith spoke on insect
cc
enemies, telling lipw to prevent ^
their attack. One of the most intereeting
exercises was that of corn
judging conducted by Prof. Newman.
i K
President Alexander, in a ringing
appeal, pointed out to the teachers
the large opportunity for good to
that lay in agricultural instruction.
"The farmers are supporting the j
schools. It is their money that runs i
[henr. Their children attend them, t ?
Th^ children become fanners aftei
they leave them." I lis appeal was
vigorous for adaptation of tb?, school ^
to the life needs of the pupils. "We
need less cube root add longtude and ^
terms in our arithmetics and more ..
that boars upon the farmers life.
