High Point, June 19.—The new automobile law is being studied by persons here and be low is a digest: The main points of the law are few and plain, through the entire act is lengthy. All automobile owners must have the machines registered by the last day of June and any who have not re gistered by that time will be vio lating the law to use them the first day of July or thereafter. The speed limit is ten miles an hour in business sections of towns and cities,, fif^^ea in residence and twenty-five in country dis- trifcts, though it must at all times be “reasonable and proper” in connection with particular cir cumstance and any incorporated, towns or cities have the right to make the speed limit less than stipulated bat can not allow it to be more. j; The tax IS five dollars for 2© horsepower ears, $7.50 for forty, horsepower, and ten dollars for those over forty horsepower.- Eighty per cent of the revenue from this tax goes to the count- ties which pay it and is to be , used for good roads. As it is estimated that there be nine I thousand cars to pay the tax in ' North Carolina, this will be a considerable amount. No person under sixteen years How to Core Pea Hay. From Louisana: “You speak in this week's paper of a method of curing cowpei hay. Please give it?” I have this method annually for years, and probably after awhile will have more ask ing for it. But as you are in the far South, I pve it here again and hope the later farmers will keep it. Now I have. practiced this method for years, and many farmers have done it with suc cess while others, for same rea son;'say they fail. I can ohly^^ tell what I have done with per fect success. Begin mowing when the peas turn yellow in the pods. Mow in the mornings till noon; if pos sible, run a tedder right after mower to keep the hay tossed up and hasten the wilting. Rake into that afternoon. Next morn ing turn the windrows with the rake while the mowers are run ning on other parts. That after noon p*ut this hay into cocks as narrow and tail as will stand well. Then, as soon as you can take a handful of the hay and twist it and can wring no sap to the twist, haul the hay to the barn and let it settle with its own weight with^ out tramping and then let it alone and it will cure all right. If it heats some, let it heat. If you go to stirring it to cool it, you will let in germs of mold from the air and will have moldy hay. f M . ; ■■ ■ ; Now, I have used it in this way many yekrs and never maae any moldy hay, but had it come out with the leaves on and green in color, and far better feedithant the usual assortment of sticks that many make by letting the hay lie in the sun to bleach and the leaves to get drj^ and crisp. In labt, I have found curing pee^vine hay ,as easy as any other hay If you simply let it cure and do not “monkey” with ail sorts of scaffolds and contrivances that merely dry the hay and lose the leaves, the best part of the hay. -- Progressive Farmer.

No one has attempted \ to assail the character or Ability 1 of Williamson. All are'willing 5 to concede that he is a first class ' man, and that he would make] a good postmaster, but tliose who are opposing him say Crowson} would make equally as good an official and that he needs the money more than Wiiliamson, In the meantime the naming of a postmaster is being held up.
