In Session Here Today Large Crowd ' - of rarmeri Hera. i Concord is full of farmers today, ' the occasion being the Farmers' InsU- . ' tnte. which is held under the auspices - of the" State Agricultural Department It is gratifying to note this evidence of - interest on tbe part of the farmers of r the eounry. We note that those who . are holding these institutes are greet - ed everywhere by' good audiences, i about 1500 farmers having attended . the one held on the State Farm near . Statesville last week. -'- The holders 'of the institute were delayed in getting here by a late train, . .and did not reach Concord until about 11 o'clock." Those here are: - ' "Messrs. "J. L; Burgess, 8. B. Shaw, H. P, Cates, Dr. E. P. Wood and Miss M. L. Jamison. On account of their 1 f late arrival work did not begin until about 11 :30 6 'clock. The woman's in stitute, in charge of Miss Jamison, was held iff the city hall, while the 'men's insttute was eld at the court . house. '' ' , . ' . . The Institute is in charge of Mr. " J. L. Burgess, the soils man of the ' Agricultural Department - Mr.; Bor- ' gess' talk -was the first on the pro " ; gramme, and lasted until abopt 1 i . o'clock.,. It was - interspersed with , " questions from farmers in the audi--,. - enoe, several farmers giving their own experiences oh the line of the talkJ , which was Sou Improvement. - Mr. Burgess declared that the growing and -" ', turning under of green crops, such as ' . crimson clover,' vetch, peas and soja beans, is the most important thing in ; ; farming today, and he shattered the :, !" idea that land cannot be permanently improved except by the use of stable -. manure and fertilizer. It as shown - . that a ton of vetch hay contains eight times as much nitrogen as a ton of stable manure, and the fertilizer value of eas, clover and soja beans is about -ihe same. - The experiments toy -the State department. have disclosed that , feeding cattle for the manure alone v is simply turning money over. - The green crops contain Ave to ten times 1, as much -of the very things wanted . in the land when compared with stable manure. It is far better to plow - in . the pea vines and clover than to feed " - it to cattle and then put the manure " on t.hfl iroiinfk Th best Til an. 4q tA . . CJ- -.. ' - I .

Benefits of It "Adoption In North Carolina Cabarraa Farms Can be ' Preserved by Such Protection. ; A Cabarrus countyman has recently made a tour through Georgia and Ala bama and observed tbe terrace sys tem of farming' in those States, by which fields are protected from washes and" the. soQ preserved froa destruc tion by heavy rains. Every slope or hillside field, he says, is crossed by a series of terraces of sufficient fall to guide the water from the land into main ditches, that carry it-from the farms. By such means the slope and hillside soil ia left on the fields, and the washing of gullies by winter and spring floods prevented. -The land is thereby preserved for posterity.. The Georgia and Alabama fields are not destroyed year by year by unscrup ulous cultivation and butcher farm ing;; their crop producing elements and value are held in reserve for fu ture generations. - Such a system of land culture should be followed in Cabarrus, where the fields are fast becoming barren by the old slave method of farming, the soil carried from, the-fields by rainfall, and the Sms made 'worthless, where future d tillers will find the fields a -waste of nak d and furrowed clay. Mr. Robert Phifer who has taken much interest in this subject and made frequent efforts to bring it to the knowledge of Cabarrus farmers, is of the same opinion. He thinks that the best way to bring the matter to the attention of the county land hold ers, is for the Farmers UnionJ after crops are laid by, to charter a train and sell round trip excursion tickets to Montgomery for $5.00, to allow Ca barrus people to investigate and study theuGeorgia and, Alabama sjstem of terrace farming, -and enable them to introduce similar soil protection and establish- similar land improvement in North Carolina. - The gentleman men tioned also thinks it would greatly aid Cabarrus agriculture for the farm ers to bring some tenants from those States familiar with the .terrace sys tem q show how such improvement can be best effected on the farms of this county." Charlotte Chronicle. r. Two of tlfe biggest cotton mills in the South, one at Durham and one at Concord, are now completed and about ready for business. Each one of these mills is "about the" size of three aver age mills. New mills are being built in various parts of the South and old ones -are being enlarged.; ; All this should give faith in the future of the cotton millvindustry of the Southern States; The building of new mills and the enlargement of old ones is ac counted for by the simple reason that there is a demand for it. As long as the South has not a'sufficient number of mills to work up its cotton crop in to manufactured products, the business-is not going to be overdone. As long as the South exports a bale of cotton there is room for more mills. v Pine Railroad Service. Charlote Chronicle, " , : It is a leasure to see how the South ern Railway has measured up to the demands of the eummer - passenger traffic..? It has long since , discarded the regulation two day coach trains. On its main line and on the Wnsffm North Carolina Division, its trains car ry tnree ana sometimes four day cuacnes, in aaitipn to tne iTilImans and the almost f-unendurable , over crowding,' with its necessary discom f ortune, is a thing of the past. It has been found expedient by. the railway management to, move., theses heavy trains on time, to double-head them, and it is no uncommon sight to see the passenger trains speeding along drawn by .two engines. , Between the peach and watermelon trains and the heavy passenger trains the rails of the Southern tracks are kept hot. . v- Mr. Enrin.on the Panic. Greensboro Record. 1 , Mr. W. A. Erwin, of Durham, head of several cotton mills, is a 'gentle- man wno speaKS irankiy and expresses himself so that he can be easily un derstood. Discussing the hard times the other-day he said "They talk about Cleveland panics, free soup and other things, v 1 want somebody to name "this one. : I . am waiting for it. I o not see how it could possibly be worse and I see no prospect of an early change." Mr.- Enwin .knows what he : is talking about. He is "there." in fact he has 'been "there" for some time. And there are others. The newspapers' of the State are a unit in declaring that the Fifth dis trict convention did the right thing in nominating Mai. Chas. 'M. Stedman, for Congress. ., They say he is not only the strongest man, but that it was just recognition of services to the party running through three decades or more. ' , v THE DISTRICT CONFERENCE. Proceedingi of Yesterday's Session of Salisbury District Conference. Salisbury Post, 29tn. Tbe sessioa yoter.lay afternoon rf the Salisburv District conference was consumed in hearing reports of minis ters from the vanons lurches. . These reports showed grow:h along material lines, and were a source of gratifica tion to the members of the conference. The session this morning was a busy and interesting one. There were two aplieants for license to pieacb. the gospel, which upon examination were granted. Those receiving license were: J. M. Ridenhour and Lindsay Frazier. Dr. W, P. Few, the new president of Trinity College, nras present, ani was introduced to the conference by T" T 1 1 "j; i. t vi. Aowe, toe presiaing eiaer. xjt. Few addressed the conference upon education, and in - the interest -f Trinity College. ; He made a splendid impression. : v At 11 a. m. Rev. W. M. Curtis, of Greensboro Female College, of Greens boro, delivered a sermon. At 2:30 this afternoon the laymen took charge of the conference. The conference will adjourn tomor row afternoon. ; Rev. Plato T. Durham preached a remarkable sermon last night, which for lore and doctrine places him in a class of his own. His text was the wonderful words of the Master: "And I be lifted up from the earth, I will draw all men after me." He be gan by stating that " the exegesis of this passage has given the doctors a great deal of trouble.' Its explanation, is different from any other scripture. The statement is peculiai? it ex presses a condition, it is in the .sub junctive mood. Scholars have tried to explain it. Did our Savior mean, draw all men f Doctors have tried to explain the Greek word, iwhich means to drive in my direction. I am one that does not believe that Jesus Christ left this truth in the differential language of a Greek word. We have gone 6o far in metaphysical exeggesis." He then indicated that he believed in individ ual religio, that the church people laid too much upon denominational prile, rather than upon Christ. He stated that he had to -apologize to the world ror the sins in, the church. He dwelt much upon the-incarnation of Chrijt ki , . . M.UWVVM vjvi tfivtaeviife of the individual and re- ferred. to; the remarkable change of thought in the past few years, even in the political world. He said, "he is blind who has not seen a certain strange spirit entering into politics, the nations of the world are coming to see the power in His name." Here he indicated his belief that God was shaping the parties with the ultimate end of bringing all men unto Him.' The sermon was indeed a remarkable treatise en the subject discussed, "the lesson taught being the universal brotherhood of man. ; - Mr. Moser Back to Boston. A Lynchburg" paper of recent date says that Mr. Walter Moser, of Ca barrus, is the leading pitcher in the Pacific Coast League. Mr. Moser has been at Oakland, Cal., for some time and has extended his splendid repu tation to the Pacific coast. :;' He has been called in by the Boston Ameri can League team, and will go back to Boston. - We find the following concerning tnis irom tnis week's Sporting Life: Pitcher Walter Moser, of the Oakland team, has been sold to the Boston American League Club for $3,50Q.

DROWNED AT KANNAP0LI5. Tommy Hughes, Axed 14, Loses His Life la Lake There. Thomas Hughes, a lad. 14 years of age, was drowned in the lake at Kan- na polis Friday afternoon ' about 2 o'clock, ' - . He was in swimming with number of other boys, most of them smaller than heiwhen it is supposed he was seized with cramps or had heart fail ure, tie sank, and none of his com rades were able to render him any assistance. Before they could secure anyone he was beyond the reach of aid. K v .: ,The place where he waa drowned is so; deep that hie body, had to be dived, for. In some places the lake is 15 feet deep. It is situated near the railroad track and in front of the Cannon mill, and right in the heart of Kannapohs. -j, j y . ; -The young man had just returned from a trip in the country and it is thought he was too hot when he en tered' the water and that the attack of cramp resulted.' His body .. was dived for and secured by a Mr. Begler, after he had been in the water about 20 minutes. Drs. Flowe and Cauble worked for over an hour in efforts to resnsicate the body, - but . without avail, as there was absolutely no sign of life. , Hughes was an employee of ; the Cannon mill, and was the. eon of .a widowed mother. The boys of the town in large .numbers ?go- "swim ming" every day in the lake, and this U the first accident that has occurred. -The body was taken to Charlotte this morning for burial. BUTLER-ADAMS SUIT. Republican Leaders End Litigation of Two Years Standing. " The Butler-Adams litigation has been terminated by compromise, an announcement that will be of interest all oer the State. ;: The hews comes bywfty of this morning's Greensboro Telegra m, wh ich says : v A Compromise has been affected in the damage suit of Ex-Judge Spencer B. Adams against Marion Butler and the Caucasian. This fact in itself is of considerable interest as the entire proceedings in this affair at law were of -State-wide interest, but coming as it does at a time when there is a heat ed if not bitter-fight ' between the Adams-Duncan wing of the Republi can party and the Morehead wing backed by Butler the announcement of the compromise is all the more in teresting.- - The compromise was effected yes terday morning, but nothing could be learned as to the terms. Attorneys for ex-Senator Butler were called oni last night for information but the re porter was referred to Judge Adams for such information as he chose to impart. Judge Adams, the plaintiff in the case, was then called on but he stated that he had nothing what ever to say beyond the fact that the compromise had been effected. It will be remembered that soon after Butler and his brother (were in dicted. lor, criminel libel of Judge Adams by publishing in Butler's pa per, the Caucasian, certain articles regarding Judge Adams' conduct as Chief Justice of the Choctaw and Chickasaw Citizenship court ; Judge Adams instituted suit against the But lers for $50,000 damages, also suit against the Caucasian for a like amount-This' suit was instituted some two years ago and the case had not yet reached a trial. t Warren G.

Republican nominee for Governor of Ohio, is for ty-five years old and is the proprietor of the Marion Evening Star, of Ma rion, wnere he lives, as was Lieuten ant Governor of Ohio, under Myron T. Herrick and is a campaign orator of note. i Harding's defeat -by Gov. Harmon is regarded as certain by some politicians. In 1908 President Taft carried Ohio by 69,591, yet Gov.
