' - 2 Rural Delivery Endangered. The E. F. D. News, fished at Washington as the national organ of the Rural Letter Carrier's Associa- ' tion, sounds an alarm in these terms: "Right. now preliminary plans are being made to abolish Jural free de- . livery service and provide in its stead A daily, delivery to the. farmed . by what .isllnown iVtha sta-ronte, or contract system, inis pian nan ueeu the subject of serious consideration by the Postmaster General for more than six or eight months past, and he hopes to be able to furnish Presi dent Taft with ample reasons for the change before the latter sends bis an nual message to Congress next De cember. It is the belief oi many .postal officials that President Taft will readily approve of the suggest ; ion of the Postmaster General ia the matter, and for the sake of economy . make a recommendation to Congress to enact the necessary law for the ehange.; Already Postmaster General Hitchcock has 'consolidated 4he : di vision of star-mail routes and divis ion of rural free delivery into what 'will hereafter be known as the di vision of rural mails. - This is , the first step toward ' making the two services similar.'1 ' - Camping Trip. 1 :";'-" On Tuesday morning, the ninth of August, Mr. W. Jfl. Smith and party will leave on forty-tour $or his an nau camping trip. T ;-' : . He will-take bis outfit, which is the ' most complete in the ' South. 1 The party will be gone about a month. They go from here to Winston, then to Roanoke, where they will spend the : night of August the ninth, and from Roanoke to Front Royal for the horse show. , . While gone they expect to take in Washington City, Mt. Vernon, Luray ' Cave, Elkton, Grottoes, Harrisonburg, Woodstock, Lexington, Buena Vista, Natural Bridge and all points of in - terest between Roanoke and Washing ton and some side trios.'1 - The Norfolk and Western Railroad Co. have kindly assigned a car to the party for their special use on this trip as the company finds this the most convenient -way to handle the party, " The party will consist of Mr. and Mrs. T. D. Manes Mr. and Mrs. T. 6. Smith and Misses Mary Smith, Addie Lore, Dora Burkhead and Kathleen ' Smith; Jay L. Cannon D. P.

A SPECIAL OAS , May AoconCbdaU Cebarro Faratrt v- to Georgia. V Professor Ingram reports that a special ear would doubtless accommo date the county farmers who "would like to spend the August vacation- in vestigating the Georgia and Alabama1 system of terrace farming, whereby land is protected, "farm values main tained 'and the soil preserved for fu ture generations. The professor is satisfied - that bis bucolie neighbors cannot spend, the summer siesta more profitable than in an investigation of how to take care of the rural homes of Cabarrus county. The Southern railroad would prob ably, make a special rate for a ear on an agriculture investigation to Al abama and possibly place it at snch service for the running expenses; it is to the interest of the transportation companies to encourage agriculture and all industry aWng their lines. It is np to the Farmers Union to consult the railroad officials and make arrangements if the Cabarrus farm ers desire an excursion to the Geor gia terrace region. . The Mecklen burgers would probably , be glad to join the expedition and defray half tne ewBt. .-". V Big Crops plenty of Money. Charlotte Chronicle. . Mr. William C. Brown, president of tne JNew York Central road, has re tained home from a tour of investiga tion through-the West and says that section has plenty of money and big crop's and is in fine shape genera" "The whole west," he said to a re porter of The New York Journal of Commerce, "is dumfonnded at the financial pessimism here. They have plenty of money out there. I am a stockholder in seven banks in Iowa and Missouri and they are all in eood shape." As to the crops, Mr. Brown said: "Urom the Missouri river through to New York I made a per sonal examination and the country looxed like a garden nearly all m the way. The corn from the (western part of Nebraska right through to the At lantic seaboard, is at or above 'the average at this time of the year. In the extreme western part of Nebras ka, mr the" edge of "the "sa bosh plains and in the westenr'and south' western part of Kansas, there .; has been some damage from hot weather and lack of moisture, but np to this time I da not believe the damage will amount to 2 per cent, of the corn crop of the country as a whole." Mr. Brown is of the opinion that there has been so much printed in the pa pers in regard to the crop damage that it has served to Tetard business somewhat The question of a change in xreignt rates, making the ultimate cost of commodities somewhat - in doubt is also serving . to somewhat check business, but be is satisfied that the railroads are going to have all they can do; and, before the first of October, it will be a question of the ability of the railroads to h&adle -the business that', will offer. Evidently the country as a whole is not in snch bad shape after alL Plans Being Laid for Big Farmers' Convention. The state farmers' convention held annually at the A. & M. colleee at Raleigh, will open August 30, contin uing to September 1, with indications that the program will ,be on of the most profitable yet provided. ; There will be three expert specialists from the United Statea denartment at Washington. Then there will be the coiiege men or tne xacnity and the heads of the divisions in the state de partment of .agriculture all taking part from day to day, Then promi nent farmers -in all parts of the Btate are beinsr invited, to addraea tho cnm vention on one and another phase of agriculture. The farmers who ome will be furnished with rooms free as Heretofore and arrangements will be made for all to get their meals at the college dining room. Indications are for quite a large attendance. , ' Made Trip on $55. " Durham Herald. ' t&f:(' Mr. Kobert W.
