Oil March 1st, this year, a campaign was inaugurated among the agricul tural extension -workers in the State in the matter of facing purebred reg istered hulls in the various counties of the State. The winning county agent will be given a trip to an important agricultural exposition in one of the western States. The contest will end ■ September 1st. County agent E. S. Millsaps, Jr., ! is making quite a record in this con itest. Up to this week he has placed since the contest began, 22 registered hulls on the farms of the county. This is a record that so far has no equal in I the State in the number placed in such a short time. Millsaps is not resting on his laurels already won, however, and is still on the job, with the exception of this week which he is spending in western North Carolina, and has hopes of keeping up the goodj work already begun. He realizes that he will have to keep moving in order to keep ahead of some of the counties in the State which are and have been for years more interested in purebred cattle. The placing of these purebred bulls, while it means a good deal to Millsaps, is incidental to him as re gards the great step forward which the county is taking in the matter of raising purebreds. The more pure bred bulls the better the future of the cattle industry in this county. With purebred bulls will come better grade cattle and more and better purebred Cattle. And when the farmers be come interested in purebred cattle the interest will extend to purebreds in all livestock. , By the close of the contest Septem ber 1st, if Millsaps has or has not won first place for himself and for Randolph in the Siate the work will have accomplished a lasting good in the agricultural life of the county and will have advanced interest and re sults in purebred livestock farther than it has ever been advanced in a like period Wsfore In the history of the county. / Mine Disaster Fond Raised The $35,000 which Governor Mc Lean asked for in a proclamation to the people of North' Garolina for the relief of the families of the miners who were killed in the Coal Glen dis aster several weeks ago has been raised, according to D. B. Teague, chairman of the finance committe. The work of disbursing this fund is in the hands of the Red Cross. DEATH ROW LONESOME WITH POPULATION OF ONLY TWO Once populous death row at the State Prison, says a news article in the News and Observer, is a lonesome place now.

Cheatham Evans, negro, one of the two occupants of death’s row is crazy with the dread of approaching death.
