THE AMERICAN PRESSASSOCIATION Entered at the Post Office at Louls hurg, N. C.. as second class matter. WORDS FROM GREAT MEN 0 It has been said "If half the evi deuce presented against N. C. Cran ford, the Albemarle road boss, is true, he should be hung." There is some thing in it. We know he had a bad crowd to deal with, but we can't un derstand how any one could be so cruel. Some steps should be taken to re move the old Btorage house on the corner of Perry street and Kenmore avenue. It's a menace to public safe ty. Blocking the streets is wise, but we see no need to keep the streets blocked unnecessarily long. The house could have been torn down a week or more ago. Judge Meekins has appointed W. G. Bramham. of Durham, receiver for the Eastern North Carolina Ware housing Corporation, a subsidiary of the Tobacco Cooperative Association. Lets hope the business of these two organisations may be settled up in such a way as to preserve confidence of the public In the institutions. It has been suggested that the town authorities enforce the law against driving cars or tracks in town with the cut out open. This is a good sug gestion. There are so many cars now with defective mufflers and that operate with cut outs open that it is Tery annoying when they pass the streets. In fact all conversation has to ceaSe until they pass. There -is a State law against driving an au tomobile or track through town with the cut outs open and we think, also a town ordinance against same. We hope the officials will give the public some relief from the unnecessary racket. Quite a big lot of complaint is betnt heard of the local telephone service Telephones are allowed to remait out of commission for weeks at i time and ordinary communication ii very unsatisfactory. Something should be done to remedy .these con &tions. Regardless of the loss o; service the company insists on col lections for full time, therefore th< patrons should be Just as zealous o obtaining one hundred per cent serv Ice. It is to be hoped that the serv ice may be improved, else the cit; commissioners and business met should take some acion.

G Chichester, and proceeded ii to the fair grounds at Fredericksburg ii where they camped for the night. | Saturday morning before leaving ti ' Fredericksburg the party visited the d jhome of Mary Washington, the mona-js ment of Mary Washington, the lodge a wherein George Washington , was p made a Mason, saw the court bouse u one of whose columns has two Shell ii j holes as a mark of battle and other o | places of interest. Several of the o ' party spent the night in a hotel built c . upon the spot that was at one time f owned by John Maury; author of li 'Maury's Physical Geography. , jo I From here the party passed on to ii i Richmond where they were met by o a comittee of' Kiwanians and shown s through Kinghan's packing plant, con p 1 ducted down Monument avenue where v i they saw the monuments of Jeff Davis t Gee. Jackson, Stuart and others rode r around the capital and about over the t city to the beautiful park beside the I reservoir where a rest was had, lunch ? served by the county agent and the c > picture of the crowd made, bearing. t . j Ric.hn|ond the party proceeded on t '! to their homes without stopping ar. | 1 riving about sundown, bringing.to an i end a most enjoyable and profitable i trip to all. |< It was most interesting in passing I through the valley to see the.many , i wheat fields, some several hundred acres In size, filled with shocks of : the golden grain so thick that only i i comfortable room for a two-horse i wagpn to pass wag left Usually four, 1 to six large heavy horses were hitch- i ed to each wagon loaded with grain i or hay. Many instances of hreshlng i was in evidence and the harvesting of hay was in process. Different from us they cut the hay and .house It the same day, not waiting for It to cure. ( The corn looked as If It had been ( own In abont three -foot rows and raa in the finest kind of growing ondition Timothy hay was in abun ance and blue grass grows wild, 'he farmers practice diversification f crops, planting yheat and timothy 1 drill at the same time and follow- j ?g with clover or corn or both. j Many of the homes were real pic- ( ores. Well located, the houses splen idly spaced and beautifully painted, rith good fences either wire or board, nd when of the latter they were ainted. Large orchards of apples rith the trees full of fruit, but only j i one or two instances were peaches bserved. Chicken farming whs one f the important industries. Practl ail every farm had a nice drove of ine chickens, but many . conducted arge poultry yards with thousands if birds, producing eggs and chicks n great quantities. The stock horses, ows and hogs were all in tip top hape and everything was evidence of rosperitjr and profit. It was in this alley that the homes of several re-' ired farmers were pointed out. The latural scenery of the Blue Ridge, he Shenandoah and the Alleghany nountains and the caverns and itreams added much to the interest if the party and contributed its por ion of the value and pleasantness of :he trip. I Most striking was the enthusiasm ind pleasure displayed by all whom ive met, especially of the county ag ?nts and the committees in what they Itad to show us and the courtesies extended. There was nothing too good to be given us by them and theit hospitality /was tt*pe Southern and generously extended all of which was more than appreciated by every mem ber of the party. The success of the trip was largely due to the willing and enthusiastic efforts of the farm agents of each cnonty through which we passed. They were on the spot to meet us as we reached each coun ty line and gave to us their undivided, time in showing us through their bounty, all the places of interests and d d d d d d j d d d d t i \ remaining with us until we were met by the next agent The Kiwanis Clubs, Chambers of Commerce, and other business organisations combined to make our visit through their cities most pleasant and profitable. Too much cannot be said in praise of the generous and unselfish efforts of bounty agent A. H. Harris and Dr. A H. Fleming, who are responsible for the trip and the entertainment provided all along the line. Mr. Har. rls secured the cooperation of the county agents in all the county's thru which the party passed and made up two-thirds of the party, while Dr. Fleming secured the cooperation of the Kiwanis Clubs and Business lien's organisations. All of these ar rangements were made in advance with great outlay of time and effort on their part. And in addition they re mained with the party all the while and gave personally their time o see that each member of the party re ceived aenion and accommodations. The entire party expressed the deep est gratitude and appreciations for the splendid and unexcelled service of County Agent Harris and Dr. Flem ing on this trip. Much credit is also due Mr. Sam Nash and his assistants for the splendid cooking done by them tor the physical welfare of the party. The entire party were very appre ciative to Hon. Frank Hampton, Sec retary to Senator Simons, and Mr. ?T. W. Harvey for the interest they took in making our stay in Washing , ton City both pleasant and profitable and also to the officials of all the counties and cities thrpugh which we passed for the many courtesies ex pended the party. It was these at tentions that added much to the plea ' santness of the trip and they will be long and pleasantly remembered. I And the drivers must not be over. ; loked as the careful and undivided ) attention to duty given by them added much to the comfort and pleasure of the trip To show their appreciations jof the splendid service of the drivers' each bus made a donation to its driven jB. E. Stevens, of bus No. 1 received i $8.80; R. D. Baker, of bus No. 2, re ! calved $10.00; B. B. Bunn, of bus No. 1 received $5.11. 1 It will be interesting to know that a check dp on the expense of the trip to the Individual revealed a minimum cost of $10.10 and a maximum cost of $34.00.
