KAYETTEVILLE'S ' MAYOR USES SOME STRONG LANGUAGE ABOUT SEEKING CAMPS. DISPATCHES FROM RALEIGH i Doings and Happenings That MarK the Progress of North Carolina Peo ple, Gathered Arri1 the State Capital. Raleigh. "Damn the camps, we want the in land waterways completed; the port of Wilmington and Southport given full recognition, and the upper Cape Fear improvements finished" is the forceful English employed by Mayor James D. McNeill, of Fayetteville, in explaining the significance of the "greater North Carolina meeting," in Fayetteville. Somebody had inter preted the Fayetteville get-together meeting an opportunity to take can tonments, when the wide awake may or wrote Representative Godwin of the slanted version. "Relief and protection from the ruinous discrimination in rates that the railroads have so unjustly impos ed upon us in the past," are the pic turesque terms used by Captain Mc Neill in hoping for a speedy "comple tion of the intra-coastal waterway sys tem, as it enters and passes through the great State of North Carolina. "We have been literally hewers of woods and drawers of water for the upbuilding of towns and cities ot other States long enough, and this, my dear sir, is the logical time to raise such a fuss as to attract the attention of our lawmakers to our just demands." Mayor McNeill states that seven hundred invitations have just been mailed to every mayor, city govern ment, chamber of commerce, business organizations and leading mills in the State to attend this "greater North Carolina meeting." Likewise their sup port is invited for the success of the movement for better freight rates, a juster recognition of transportation privileges for the business interests of the State "than we have hitherto had.' "One of the great problems to be solved at this meeting is to improve and make more available the port of Wilmington and the inland port of Fayetteville. so as to enable the entire State to overcome the discrimination In freight rates now existing to the detriment of North Carolina commer cial, agricultural and financial inter ests," reads a paragraph of the invi tation. Wendel Farmer Sets Example. An example of what the Agricul tural Extension Service means by the term "safe farming" is typified on the farm of Mr. L. B. Knott, a tobacco planter of Wendell. Mr. Knott has for several years been very successful in tobacco growing so much so that sev 0mi nf thft leading farm journals have j called attention to the methods used on his farm. But the, secret of his continuous advancement is four.d in the fact that tobacco is only a means to an end. Several years ago Mr. Knott came to Wendell from Granville county. where he had grown up in that tooac-, cd producing section. Figuring that ; the hew bright tobacco section of east- . ern North Carolina would soon be a prosperous territory he located at Wendell and began farming, purchas ing approximately 160 acres of land on nothing but a determination to succeed and some money loaned him by his uncle. Today Mr. Knott has one of the best equipped farms to be found in Wake county, lying as it does on the edge of Wendell within close dis tance to a ready market for all of his products. Two New Farmsrs Banks. A credit union bank, or a savings and loan corporation, has been estab lished at Sadler by the farmers in that section. This is the first farmers bank to be organized in the county. The following are the officers: Presi dent, W. F. Glass; vice-president. J. I. McAlister: secretary and treasurer, J B. Craffon; directors. W. F. Glass. J I McAlister. J. B. Crafton. A. W. Daniel and A. J. Hudson; credit com mittee, W. R. Saunders, Jr.. W. G. Bal lard and J. W. Jarrt; supervisory committee, J. W. Dron. Hush Johnston and John R. Williams. Thp board 6f directors selected the Citi zens' bank of Reidsville as a deposi tory. A similar bank U helnn organ ized in Mayo township, near Storrv ville. McLeod After a Million. "The one chance to make a million in four months when we get the prop er flow of oil," is the roseate picture painted by George R. McLeod. of Lum berton. former state senator, in de scribing the latent possibilities or. an oil field purchased in Oklahoma. Shar ing the juicy vein with J. M. Walford and R. H. McNeill. Washington citi zens, but formerly from North Caro lina, the Lumberton citizen is ;oin to prospecting for oil in a hurry The M.rt well ia sin to be laid. Prepare Now Against Worms. x Heavy losses, death and unthrift, re sult annually from stomach and other worms infesting young cattle six to eigh:aen months of age and lambs. Now is the time to begin to apply the ounce of prevention to save the deaths and unthrift of next fall. Signs of the effects of internal para sites usually begin showing in August, increasing up to November, then usu ally disappearing In February and not observed until the following August, in cattle under two years of age. If one's pasture Is known to be grossly infested by having had cattle or sheep showing symptoms of worms last fall, double efforts should be made to avoid the recurrence of the same. Some infection of pastures and ani mals remain over from fall to spring, but the maximum of infection occurs in late summer when symptoms of trouble are seen. Symptoms vary, depending upon the the kind and degree of infection, but there is usually shown unthrift in spite of good feeding, often diarrhea, but maybe constipation. The most char acteristic feature, however, is the bog gy swelling beneath the lower jaw, known as "poverty jaw." Seed Shortage Is Acute. While it is not generally known, there is quite a shortage of all seeds for planting. This is particularly so with vegetable seed. Quite a number of people who have kad no experience in planting and gardening are trying to use up all the seed they can to gpf a few vegetables started. Director B. W. Kilgore of the Agrl cultural Extension Service of the State College and Department of Agriculture received a letter the other day from Washington asking him to please call it to the attention of every "would be" gardener that no more seed should be bought than is actually required, because if some people buy more than they need others will not be able to get what they actually need. This waste of seed is being done in several different ways. Many garden ers seem to think that a garden spot needs no sunshine, and are putting in good seed which germinates but never produces vegetables. No land should be planted which is not suitable to vegetable production. Another Swat at Booze. Henry A. Page, United States food administrator for North Carolina, dropped a bomb into the camp of blockaders and those merchants and millers who have been supplying blockaders with food products. , v. Mr. Page's statement covering the matter was characteristically "short and sweet." Here it is: "To use fooid products, sugar, corn meal, molasses and the like in the manufacture of blockade whiskey, rum, etc., is clearly a wilful waste of food, and as such is punishable under the Lever act. It is also unlawful for merchants or millers to sen tneso products to such persons or in such quantities as make it appear reason ably certain that they are to be usecr in the manufacture of illicit Intoxi cants. The food administration for North Carolina gives notice that it will take prompt and drastic action when evidence can be secured that any merchant and miller has of fended." Greenville Prepares for Summer. Greenville takes a long step forward and will be one of the cleanest, health iest towns in the State, according to a bulletin just issued by the State Board of Health, if she enforces the sanitary ordinances just enacted. Ac cording to this bulletin, ordinances have been passed declaring insanitary closets, nuisances providing drainage against mosquitoes and screening of Joors, windows, of all groceries, res taurant's and food shops. The sanitary closet ordinance not only declares insanitarv closets to be nuisances and subject to a penalty of five dollars, but also distinctly speci fies that the only kind of a sanitary closet permitted will be a sewer con nection, a tank privy or a pit privy, the last two types to be such as to meet the approval of the State Board of Health. Flour for Starch Prohibited. It -has been called to the attention of the Food Administrator that thou sands of pounds of flour is being used by the housewives of North Carolina in making starch for clothes. This flour is used in small units but it Is being used in a vast majority of the homes of the State and at least once a week during the entire year. Thus the aggregate amounts to several mil lion pounds of flour probably not less than 25.000 barrels a year, and pos sibly much more than that. Starch may be purchased in bulk at ltle ? ai'.v. advance over the present price' of flour and Jh use of flour for any commercial purpoau n oroh'.bited hv the Food Control Act and i' r-un-ishah'e by a fine of f. or two yei" irririsonment or both. Craven Against Tick Work. A petition from Craven county for the suspension of the tick eradication work in that county has reached the Department of Agriculture, according to advices received by Commissioner Graham. Last, fall a su?- .von or the work was granted on what seemed to be justifiable grounds until April 1 or this year, and now the movement In on to have it again suspended. This. Commissioner Graham states will not be allowed, but will insist upon ru' compliance with the law. NEVILLE PAYS WITH HIS LIFE StarteJ to Say Something As-Powerful Shock Was Turned On Denied Guilt Till Last.' Raleigh. Earle Neville has -paid the penalty with his life for a criminal assault upon Mrs. Sybil Celey, of this city, at her home in the Glehwood section in September of last year. Maintaining his innocence of the crime of which a jury of his pews said he was guilty, the verdict being up held by the highest tribunal in the State. Neville was electrocuted in the death chamber of the State Prison and was pronounced dead by Dr. A. W. Knox after four powerful currents of electricity had been sent into his body by Warden Samuel J. Busbee. "You all got me here but I'm not guilty." These were the words Neville utter el shortly after taking his seat in the chair at exactly 10:30 o'clock. He entered the death chamber directly be hind two colored ministers, Rev. J. K. Satterwhite and Rev. M. F, Jones, and was accompanied by a prison attend ant. He appeared calm and seeming ly maintained his nerve until the end. After he took his seat in the chair he glanced around the small octagonal room, appeared to recognize Mr. Ce ley, husband of the woman he assault ed, and then spoke his words of inno cence. Ife remained quiet while the attend ants adjusted the straps and head gear but just as Warden Busbee was Riven the sign to throw on the switch ' he managed to say "I ain't." The 'shock cut off what additional words he wanted to say. Neville spent his last night in sound j sleep and ate a hearty breakfast the following morning. Durham Tobacco Workers Strike. Durham.

Jacob and Samuel nnd Ell Bunin won't interrupt another war to sell pies to soldiers in the front-line trenches. If they meet up with a war, complete and with spare parts, owned and operated personally my MaJ. Gen. George Bell, Jr., commander of caring nothing for wars or rumors thereof, walked into No Man's Land and with a large basket, skirted the wire entanglements and walked along the parapet of an American trench. They shouted : "Pies! Who wants a pie? Pies!" They were regular Joshuas, for like Joshua's sun. the war stopped dead still. "Gimme two," shouted a sentry. "Here, buddy; I'll take lemon cream," cried a machine gunner. From all sides the "grim warriors" came crowding up. Then General Hell, on a tour of inspection, came into the trench and found his fighters' faces buried in mince, apple, custard, and berry pie. Well, when the Piemen Three were brought by guards before Maj. Fred eric L. Huidekoper, division adjutant. In division headquarters. It was dis covered two of them had been barred from cainp for disobeying a rule against selling pies to soldiers except through the regimental exchanges. "Take 'em to the stockade," ordered Major Huidekoper. Jacob and Samuel and Ell P.unin won't interrupt another war to sell pies to soldiers in the front-line trenches. Greenwich Villagers Find War Economy Is Easy NEW YORK. In Greenwich village, that land of embryo literary lights, artists, nomads and "first families," thoy are prepared for most anything that might choose to come along. When the war began all the rest of "the world gasped and sat back quite stunned. I'.ut they didn't feel unrest in Greenwich Village. Instead, they just began to allow their hair to grow a little longer, took a few more beans out of the soup and ripped away one of the two postage stamps usually worn as clothing. And the village felt secure and happy that it was doing its bit. As an example of the way they are conserving on clothing material, the ilnnees beiner held In Webster hall these days might be Investigated. Recently they held one of the "every-once-ln-a-while" affairs, and there was very little attention paid to clothing at all. lime was wnen me law steppea into etster nan on occasions, wnen it was deemed the girls had crossed the border, and carted away the. back-to-nature young folk to the station house around the corner.
