"GOAT" JENKINS GIVES SOME
ADVICE
"Wake up, Bright Eyes, I've
brought you some flowers."
It was Anne Coddington standing
with her arms foil of bright pink
roses beside my bed. She looked attractive
as she stood there in her little
white linen frock, her eyes sparkling
and her cheeks are pink as the
roses she held. There was a crisp'
wholesomcnees about her.
I glanced at my wrist watch. Ten
o'clock! I knew it was an unearthly
boar.
"I'm Sorry to wake you, Sallie,"
Anne apologised, "but I wanted you
to know that I couldn't help seeing?
I've felt wretchedly about it," she
stammered, "I just had to stop by to
let you know 111 never breathe it to n
soul?but you knew I wouldn't, anyway,
didnt you, Sallie?"
I had no idea what it was all aI^it.
"What in the world's the matter "|
I reinquired. "Have you set fire to the
omHani anvliim " __ _ _l
Anne smiled, or rather tried to, but
1 knew it .was more of a reprimand
for my frivolity. Ann is serious minded,
being one of those women with a
purpose. She even has an office down
town where she writes advertising
and makes gobs of money. She is from,
one of the oldest families in the state
and- "belong*" buti? not very popular
because on a party-she is not a good
sport. ' j
"Oh, you know what I'm talking
about," Anne continued. "Last night, :
Sallie, don't you demember Ted andi
?Sallie, how long have you been
engaged Wait 'til I j>ut your flow-1
ers iit- water and then tell me all1
your plans." * |
Shemoved over toward the window
and began arranging the roses in a
dull, blue bowl. I
Then over me came a flood of mem- (
cries. The dance?the music, wafted!
to us in the car?/Ted?the evening,
air, soft-scented and caressing, like1
jiurphio chiffon??thon Ted again?
the lady in ftte moon?the kiss?the
unexpected appearance of Anne.
1 laughed. Ted had said nothing
about even being in iove with me and
here she was taking it for granted
that we were engaged. Anne was a
funny girL Although we are as dif
ferent aK two sides of a coin 1 am
- closer to her than any other girl in
my crowd. Maybe it is because she
helped nie out. of so many scrape?
in boarding-school days. Then, too i*
is only natural, I suppose to like

ne had proved that she was devoted.)
to me. Why, I could not understand, i
"Good night. Anne," I finally managed
to say, "do you think just be- j
cause Ted kissed me* that I should
draff him to the altar and make him
promise to love, honor and obey- "
There was n greived look in Anne's!
eyes.
. "For goodness* sake," I added 1
. "don't look so -shockdd, you make, me!
feel positively imnioril nw dear." She j
sat silent with a puzzled frown and !
noticed, that tears appeared. If 1 had'
rmt" known her so well I might Havef
thought she was a woman with a past.|
. 4*Did you have a jroed time, Anne."'
. "I. did. in a way/" ?;ho- answered.
"But that was. oho -reason I* came nut
looking for you. I thought maybe yonj
and your date would take me home. I
didn't want to makc.Gordan leave and
1 was having such an unhappy time.
I think now I know why I am such rn
wall^flower at a dance/' she said.
".That's silly, Anne/' I comforted,!
"you're not." Though I had notice-i
that in spite of the fact that Anne'
was a good dancer she was never
rushed, and it was not al all usual
to see her with the same partner for
several straight dances.
"Well, I found out something last
night," she ignored my yemark "I
was waltzing with "Goat" Jenkins
He had been drinking a lot and what
-do you think he said?,"
Anne blushed. She was one of the
few girls left in the world who could.
p "I'll bije," I answered. 'What did he
say?" ? 1
Anne's voice sank to a whisper.
"Youre the only girl on the floor
with one of these on/ he said, and
meant my corset. Sallie 'Go up stairs
and park 'em and you'll get more
\ dnneea/ he suggested."
"It's funny, Sallie; I love to dance
I feel the music to my very soul,/
she contirtUfd.'" sntl yet I'm conspicuously
unpopular. I noticed last night
that you coudn't get two feet without
three or four of the boys break-'
rng at once, and there was One time
when I counted eight breaks before
you could get half your 'round. And,
? j V"' V"" hree whole dance-1
? . vflth TM. m were as popular as you j
I certainly wouldn't spend my time
outside. Sometimes I wonder?"
"Don't do it, darlin', it's an asrful.
tax on the brain." I wanted to chee
her up again.
"Well maybe youre right, Sallie
Anyway I most be running along.'
Half-way across the room she' turned
"I've got to write for the feature adt'
I couldn't. It was too early to evei
try.
"Oorsets," she flung at me, and
smiling humorously, she hurried a
way.
The phone rang. I reached it fron
the taffeta skirts of the <{oll-lady 01
| my bedside table. "Hello" It wa
Marjorie Chenoweth.
"Curtiss Wrighfs in town and he'
the most thrilling person you've eve
kMown. He and Bob were classmate
and we were going to ask you boti
over to-night to dine."
"Yes, yes." I replied, "go on.'
"Well, in the first place, all the am
bitious mothers are trying to mnrr;
him off to their debutante daughter
because hea a very successful archi
teet but so far none have been abli
to-hold his interest. He has been quot
ed as saying all sorts of seathini
I things about the 'jail type'?yon knov
jhe's the cynical kind."
"Oh, Marjorie, not a woman-hat
er?how divine!" I was overjoyed.
"That's ..11 right Sallie," she warn
ed. " I know they all fall for you, but
not Curtiss Wright 111 bet?"
"What time did you say we wen
to dine" I interrupted.
"That's the thrilling part, Sallii
He coundn't come. He's having dinnri
with your dad."
"That's great-" I announced, "thiis
one night I dine at home."

' I RACE NOW ON FOR
COVETED COTTON CROP
j Raleigh, N. C., August 11. ? The
s "race" between the cotton in assur
. ing its crop and the boll-weevil is destroying
it, has never been better ill3
ustrated in North Carolina than it ii
r this season.
5 "The emergence of overwintered
3 weevils into the cotton fields was late
and with fewe* weevils than usual,'
says Prof. Franklin Sherman, Chiei
of the Division of Entomology for th(
f Stete College and Department of Ag
3 riculture- "In only very few fieldt
was there occasion for early season
, poisoning; yet, the rainy weathei
through June and most of July gave
promise of a large hatch of new weevits,
therefore we especially emphasized
the gathering and burning of infested
squares as long os it could be
done and we have word that this
method is still beinir
t "The new generation of weevilB is
now oat, but at the ftme time athe
weather has turned dry and hot, and
our field worker* are reported a-alight
, checking of the Aveevils by this for\
tunate turn. The cotton is fruiting
rapidly, and so it has come about that
( while we have had much raiH, yet up
to early August our weevil population
iis scarcely as great a sat the same
last year. Dr. R. W. Leiby and J. A.
Harris, located at Aberdeen, are making
studies of the death of developing
weevils in the squares, and W. B.
Muboe, located at Tarboro, reports that
he has found some which had evidently
been killed by the heat.
"Dusting by the standard dust-poison
method has begun in a consider!
able number of fields these being the
fields where weevils had gained the
heaviest start,?many other fields in
the. same vicinities do'not yet require
dusting- Some may not need it at all.
"The summary is like this:-- (t)
Few weevils survived the winter and
they are belated, so was the cotton.
(2) The first half of. the season favored
a large progeny from the feu
weevils that survived, and was unfavorable
to the cotton. (3) Gathering
and burning infested squares has unquestionably
helped. (4) Now the
weather is favoring the cotton and is
somewhat against the weevil. (5)
Dusting is being done in many fields
whose infestation warrents it. )6)
There- are many fields in which the
weevils still are so few that dusting
is not yet necessary; in some it may
not become necessary at ail." .

' pecan trees planted, especially in
eastern Carolina.
In announcing: this movement, H.
Mr. Curran, Forester states that pecan
growing in this section is- no longer
speculative or experimental. Owners
of established groves have made careful
and thorough tests of the pecan
as a profit earner and are satisfied
with the ontlook for the crop. The
Experiment Station of the State College
and Department of Agriculture
, has determined what soils sre most
suitable the best method of propagating
the trees and the best verities ol
nuts for the different sections.
"All these facts are nowwithin
the reach of the prospective growers'
> says Mr. Curran "The Tarheel far.
roer who seta out pecan trees now
. will not only increaae his present
. income but will also leave a heritage
i to his children. August is not toe
early to arrang for planting. Select
I the place and begin as soon as possi,
ble to get the ground in shape to re'

DEATH OF. MRS. S. F.
BULLOCK, Col.
Many hearts were saddened on July
28, 1924, at 2:16 o'clock when it was
known that the spirit of Mrs. Soiink
Bullock was taken from our midst
; Mrs. Bullock has been in declinm*!
( health for several months, her suffer
ing was dreadfully bad, "but she bore
it patiently. Hr sufferings are ove;
and her soul we know today is with
God who gave it.. Although it was
known by her husband, children anc
friends that her end could not be far,
yet when.God saw fit to take her she
was ready and willing to go. Foui
days before she died her four young!
est daughter, my two sister and my
hself were standing around her bedside
and she said, u Children I have pray
1 ed for this day.to come, I will
be in the Kinddom," and just an boui
1 or two before she died she was ask
ing Jesus to come on.
It is sad to realize Mrs. Bullock ha?
fallen asleep from which none ever
i wake to weep. Her stay on earth was
fifty five years and eleven months
She was a faithful Christian for thirty
s/ven years, and also a faithful
member and always went to church
when she was able. She will be missed
but none can miss her like husband
and children, for there is only one
mother the wide world over. All other
? may forget you mother love never
dies. While her eyes , are closed in
death her voice forever still, her place
