DISPATCHES FROM RALEIGH
Doings and Happenings That Mark
the Progress of North Carolina Peo
ple, Gathered Around the State
Capital.
Raleigh. .
, Cheese factories in western North
Carolina -are certainly doing theh;bit
In the production of food in this emerg
ency: Thirteen factories operating
upon the co-operative plan are already
manufacturing 790,000 pounds - of
cheese, according to Mr. A. J. Reed of
the office of dairy farming,, North
Carolina experiment station.
Mr. Reed- states that in addition to
the amount of cheese now put on the
market by these factories, the oldest
established in 1915, another man has
been added and will push work of or
ganizing and constructing factories in
the mountains of western North Car
olina. At least twelve more factories
will be in operation Jy the fall of the
year. This means that probably a mil
lion pounds of cheese will be produc
ed beginning with the spring. .
This cheese is in addition to the
beef that usually cornea from this sec
tion of the state.
The thirteen factories,. time of their
establishment and probable output for
1917' are as follows:
Cove Creek Co-Operative, Sugar
Grove, 1915, 75,000 pounds; Grassy
Creek Co-Operative, ; Grassy Creek,
1915, 80,000 pounds; Beaver Creek
Co-Operative, Beaver Creek, 1915, 45,
000 pounds; Beaver Dam Co-Operative,
Sweet Water, 1916, 60,000 pounds;
Rich Mountain Co-Operative Zionville,
1916, --65,00e pounds; Silver Stone Co
Operative, Vil6s, 1916, 70,000 pounds;
aniel Boone Co-Operative, Sugar Grove,
25,000 pounds; Cane River Co-Operative,
Bald Creek, 1916, 45,000 pounds;.

Sale of Red Cross Seals.
With Greensboro leading Raleigh
took second place in the sale of Red
Cross Christmas Seals, according to
announcement-just made.-' Wilming
ton's sales entitled that city to third
place.
Greensboro sold 114,667 seals; Ral
eigh, 103,848 and Wilmington, 90,040.
The total number of seals sold in the
state was 1,207,874, amounting to $12,
T)78,74, which is an increase of 50 per
cent, or $2,636.01 over the sale of last
year. .
Of this amount $7,298.39 were kept
in the state by the local committees or
those selling the seals; $1,206.32 was
the amount sent to Oe National Asso
ciation for the expense of the 'cam
paign, patricularly for the printing and
distribution of the seals, and with all
other expenses paid, the net receipts
of the 1916 campaign amounted to $2,
035.77.. "As glad as we are to have the
amount to help carry on the work of
controlling tuberculosis in the state,"
says Dr. L. B. McBrayer, "we believe
that the educational value of the cam
paign was much greater. Lieutenant
Governor Max Gardner said to me re-
cently that he believed that $75,000 ( border, brigade headquarters were or
was not too much to estimate the edu-, dered to Raleigh for muster out and
cational value alone of the seal cam
paign. That North Carolina won sec
ond place in her group of states sell
ing almost one seal per capita, or .999
for the population of the state, is an
other source of encouragement. 'We
are now planning to hold our first
meeting relative to the 1917 campaign
in May or the first of June."
Demand For Agricultural Speakers.
From the Governor's office and from
the various divisions of the State De
partment of Agriculture come reports
that the demand for speakers and ex
perts on food crop .cultivation coming
in from all over the state is so heavy
that it is impossible to supply the
demand. Town, county and neighbor
hood meetings are the order of the
day and indications are that the in
cerase in food production will be very
great and that-the most signal success
will come of the movement-for more
food crops- so . strenuously launched
and pressed ' forward by Governor
Bickett with the co-operation of indi
viduals and-organizations all over the
state." -
Asks Co-operation of Women.
Insurance Commissioner ' James It.
Young has returned from Durham
where he addressed the Federation of
Women's Clubs on7 Are protection.
Commisioner Young asked the co-operation
of the women of the state in
keeping down the, annaul waste by
fires in the state. Two fire prevention
motion pictures, belonging to the State
.Insurance Departments were shown
during the sessions." The subjects of
he films were ;The Uocked Door'? and -
'The Story of the Flames." J

monly knqwn as mpney crops. This.
iar one of the best forms of prepared
nfes but while this is being done it
is well to obesrve closely strictest
care- to prevent the destruction of
crops after they have been harvested
and stored by the burning; of the ham,
warehouse or storage house. A recent
report of the National Board of Fire
Underwriters says that the annual
loss of grain is not less -than $10,000
000 at present prices and of cotton not
less than"t5,0p0,p00.
'Every bushel of grain, every pound
or dozen of food units, every quantity
of the necessaries of life or of of
fensive or defensive activity destroyed
by firef whether purposely or acciden
tally occurring, detracts lust so much
from our country's resources and po
tentiality at this time when everjr
such element may be vitally necessary
in the undertaking of unknown extent
in which our nation has engaged.
"Fire is always the enemy of the
human race; but, in wartime, fire is a
traitor in camp, a foe in our trenches.
Not only is waste by fire an unmiti
gated calamity, but any fire waste, is
just that much of a burden at a time
when the last straw may break the
camel's back.
'In 1916 the fire loss of the United
States was ' one twenty-eighth of" the
seven billion dollar war bond issue
just - authorized. And the staggering
thing about it is that most of this loss
was due to carelessness in one form
or another. Plain lack of foresight
and energetic preparedness against
the flames ' were responsible. Let
every, person put the premises under
his control in condition to repel the
attacks of the enemy fire, thrice hid
eous in war time."
Purchasing Board to Meet.
The recent Legislature constituted,
through special act, the heads of the
three state hospitals for insane and
the State -School for the Blind, State
School for Deaf and Dumb and that
for Feeble-Minded, a special purchas
ing board to purchase the supplies for
the six institutions in bulk as an
economy and systematization of the
purchases for these institutions. , The
heads of the institutions have just
had their initial conference here for
organization and made Dr. John
Campbell, of the Western Hospital
for Insane.'Morganton, chairman, and
Dr. Albert Anderson,-of the Central
Hospital, Raleigh, "secretary. The
board decided to establish headquar
ters at Raleigh and maintain a clerk
and stenographer, the completion of
the organization and establishment of
the headquarters to be accomplished
at an adjourned meeting July 1.
General Young Mustered Out.
Under orders from the War Depart
ment Lieut. Col. Henry F. Hunt, mus
tered out Brigade Headquarters, North
Carolina National Guard, including
Brig. Gen. Laurence W. Young, Maj.
Gordon Smith, brigade adjutant;
Lieut. Wallace Stone and Lieut." Rob
ert Young, aides. . . -
No explanation was given for jthe
order, but Colonel Hunt expressed his
surprise that it has not been done be
fore. The mustering out of part of,
the brigade, he explained, breaks up
the organization into its component
units and removes the necessity for
the brigade headquarters. Upon the
return of the Second Infantry from the
Col. H. J. Slocum was ordered here to
muster out the brigade headquarters.
Order to-suspend muster then came,
leaving headquarters in the service:
It is taken to mean here that the
National Guard of the state may not
be called into service for quite some
time.
James Wilcox Declined Pardon.
For the second time since he has
been serving a term, in the State Pris
on upon conviction of the murder of
his sweetheart, Nell Cropsey, seven
teen years ago, James Wilcox was re
fused a pardon. Governor Bickett,
makings the announcement, declared he
could only concur in the decision
reached by his predecessor, Governor
Craig, that there is nothing in the
record of the case which would war
rant executive clemency. -
No new -evidence was presented to
Governor Bickett. The defendant was
twice convicted of murder in the first
degree the first time in Pasquotank
county and the second, after the Su
preme Court had, awarded a new trial,
in Perquimans.
