f FRIDAY, JANUARY 11, 1 IS MORE FUNDS | FOR RESEARCH ^Agricultural Advisory Board I * Studies The Needs Of I Farmers For 1929 I AGENTS IN EACH COUNTY I RALEIGH, Jan. 9.?More funds f or research with cotton, a county agent in each county with a supI porting board of agriculture, better I seeds, more livestock, and a definite five-year program of agricultural advancement are some of the perti nent suggestions that the executive I committee will recommend to the full agricultural advisory board when it meets at the call of GovK error Gardner after his lnaugura tion. This executive cuuumtiro I board met in the offices of the Com missioner of Agriculture on January I first at the call of the chairman, nr. E. C. Brooks. Those present in Addition to the Commissioner and Dr. Brooks, were D. W. Bagley of Moyock, Dr. E. C. Branson of I Chapel Hill. C. F. Cates of Mebane, I Thurman Chatham of Winston- Sallem, and Dr. Clarence Poe of the progressive Farmer. Dr. Carl C. I Taylor also attended as an Invited I guest. I At the Governor's suggestion, the advisabiblity of using the surplus I warehouse fund amounting to about I $500,000 for research work with cotI ton was discussed and a ruling was I requested from the Attorney GenI eral. Better farm seeds and the need I to bring more attention to llve stock so that this branch of farming would compare more favorably with crop farming were determined as I two imperative needs. County organizations of farmers which would fol low the definite five-year program I of development was also decided upon. Dean I. O. Schaub of the school of agriculture was requested; to prepare such a program for the action of the commission. I In this program, the committee wishes to have more cooperation from the State Bankers' Associa tinn. more information about farm| I management and farm budgeting land facts about economic producItton. The committee expects to 6 make a full report along these lines I to the Advisory Board when it mets at the call of the Governor. The committee also recommended that a tobacco farmer be added to the board. AMERICAN ROADS WIN Jh RECOGNITION If In discussing foreign road buildBig, Frank B. Curran, chief of highIways section of Automotive Division of the Bureau of Foreign and Biomestic Commerce, says that the world is turning to the United States for highway information and material. "During the last four years," says Mr. Curran, "we have made an excellent collection of data on highIways and highway transportation abroad and of new opportunities for American trade resulting from road improvements. "Argentina, South Africa and Australia buy American road mailing machinery. Persia, the Soviet and Panama employ American engi neers to direct the development of their national highway systems. | India construction in Java In I creases the demand for American asphalt. Australia adopts a new Bfederal aid system based on ours. A I Swedish engineer invents a new asphalt paving process. "We have been carrying on a I world-wide campaign to arouse in terest in foreign countries in road I improvement, especially by the use of American methods, materials and machinery."

Inferentially, at least, the present state of civilization In the South is' accused of superstitition, lawlessness, disregard of the rights of the individual, brutality, dishonor and corruption. And the reason? That the poor white trash are in the saddle; that the present civilization bears the stamp not of the cavalier but of the peasant. Such is the theory. The plot is nothing much. Agatha, born in California and sophisticated in New York, marries Calhoun Pomeroy, a Tennessee farmer, and settles down in her husband's domicile. Thereafter it is Agatha versus environment and vice versa. Agatha, motoring Southward with her husband over "a new handsome government highway that looked like an anachronism amid such unkempt surroundings," gets her first experience of Southern chivalry in the form of a bullet in the tire of her car, this being Constable Bobb's method of stopping speeders, and she is convicted by a magistrate who makes a living out of convictions in such cases. Later we see the same constable making false arrests on the authority of blank warrants signed by Squire Clay, blackjacking citizens who resist these illegal arrests, and cViAfttinor nlcrcrArc mhn hova nm nwnv UliWVJUAQ AMQOVAW ??

The Congress' man pays the poll taxes of the | women voters and keeps the re' ceipts to insure their voting for him. Another candidate for office gets the poll tax list, hires a notary and writes out absentee votes for everybody who ever moved out of the county, both the quick and the dead. Instances of bigotry, superstition, disloyalty and cowardice are not lacking. So here is the sister State of Tennessee considered and adjudged, convicted and awaiting execution. No More Than a Pebble I Can North Carolina cast the first stone? Hardly. No more than a pebble at most. Every lawyer in North Carolina who knows anything knows that the rights of the individual?the individual without influence or wealth ?are none too well protected in this State. Are there not police officers who boast that they can hit a nigger in the heel while he is running away?and occasionally do it? If oil the citizens of North Carolina shot and killed by police officers?not for resistance to arrest but merely for taking uncermonious leave of the official presencewere laid end to end, I dare say that, while they might not make as long a line as would be made by those pedestrians killed by reckless motorists, they would cover more territory than we should care to contemplate. One of our most settled beliefs is that anyone who knows how to Dull a trieeer knows when to pull it. How about search and seizure? Suppose I am peacefully walking down the street in a North Carolina town with my gripsack in my hand. Has a police officer the right to stop me and forcibbly search me and ransack my so-called "private property" in a hunt for liquor which may or may not be there, without 6 6 6 is a Prescription for Colds, Grippe, Flu, Dengue, Bilious Fever and Malaria.

I ana wnnoui. auuuMiior, is Burpriauigly frequent in the State which held , aloof and refused to ratify the Con- j stitution of the United States until , it contained the provision that "the " right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers and effects against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall, not be violated, and no warrants shall issue but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation and particularly describing the place to be searched and the persons or things to be seized." ] Abuse by JudMal Officers Turning from the abuse of law by police officers to the abuse of Justice by judicial ofl'icers, let us look at the courts of the magistrates, ' sometimes called Justices of the c Peace.

Nor does the sheriff. The magis- ; trate having had^a more or less dis- < igreeable time listening to witnes- 1 ses talk and lawyers wrangle, natur- ' illy wants to get paid and he wants 1 to see the sheriff paid. This frame i Df mind in a judicial officer does ! not make for a fair trial. 1 Thus the administration of justice is reduced to an absurdity. Bad- < ly put, the State of North Carolina , says to her magistrates: "You shall try my citizens brought before you j [airly and impartially, but if you , find them innocent you get noth- , ng for your services." Even lawyers Denounce It. i This is sto shocking to the sense >f justice that even lawyers are denouncing it. Interesting comments Flu Epidemic Now Sweeping Whole Country Is Milder Than in 1918, But Emergency Demand for Vicks Breaks All Records The influenza epidemic which jroke out late in October on the Pasific coast lias spread with startling apidity until now practically every ;ection of the country is affected. Although the flu itself is not so ;erious as in 1918, authorities stress he importance of taking every posible precaution for fear of the tomplications which invade the weakened system after a flu attack. They urge especially prompt reatment of every cold, as colds t>wer the body resistance and make t easier for germs of flu or pneulonia to get a foothold. That the public is heeding this earning hi indicated by the pheiomenal demand for Vicks Vapotub, the famous external treatment 'hich leafied to fame almost overight during the 1918 epidemic.
