FARM NOTES.
By W.
() Davis, County Agent,
Weldon, N. C. 1
During the p.i't month we have
been planning our demonstrations
lo be carried nn with farmers this
coming season. These demonstra
lions consist ot a number ol things:
such as, soil building, crop rota
lions, pasture work, variety test ut
cotton and corn, etc. By these
demonstrations we try to show the
value of modern methods, lti con
ducting a demonstration we plan
the work with the farmer and then
furnish written instructions as a
guide, and also visit the farm from
time to time to assist in carrying
on the work. We use these dem
onstrations for field meetings and
invite the neighboring farmers in
to attend these meetings in order
to spread the idea in the commu
nity. We are anxious to get more
of ihese demonstrations started,
particularly in soil building and in
crop rotations. If you are inter
ested in conducting a demonstra
tion w e will be glad to work with
you.
On Thursday, March 13th, we
will have a sheep meeting on the
farm of Mr. J. A. White, near
Aurelian Springs. Mr. G. F. Wil
liams, sheep specialist from State
College, will be there. Farmers
keeping sheep or interested in
sheep are invited to attend this
meeting at 10:00. The object ot
ihe meeting will be sprjng manage
ment and care of lambs.
A number of farmers of the

FAROE BRICK BLOCK.
A petition is being circulated
among the Pythians of Weldon to
raise a sufficient amount to build a
brick block on Washington avenue,
between the postoffice and Har
vell’s gararge. This building will
be three stories. The first floor
will be used for stores or an opera
bouse. The second story will be
fitted up for offices and the third
floor will be the Castle Hall for
ihe Pythians. A large amount has
already been subscribed. We learn
me cost of the building will be
about $40,000.

ESCAPED INJURY. j
One day last week at his home (
in Jackson, Mr. F. S. Moore's lit- \
tie sou, aged two years, fell from t
the second story window to the [
ground and escaped injury. Mr. ,
Moore was a former resident of i
Weldon.

Oh' the snow, the beautiful snow

I his is a swift country. The

ahead of the nominations.
It's a safe bet that statesmen with
axes to grind are not going to
sharpen them to cut taxes.
I lie chief trouble with increased
earnings seems to he that they al
w ivs bring increased yearnings.
Now and then a Weldon man
" ill admit to his wite that he's a
fool, but he never wants it to go
any farther.
X 'ii changing a ten dollar

as a political platform die day after

It has been our observation that j
a fall never j irs a go I very mueli
it she happens in lie wearing her I
best stockings.
Maybe they could improve the |
political platforms this year if each
party would include a fence for the
candidate to straddle.
The Weldon man who whines
that he never had a chance is prob
ably one who wouldn't recognize
it if he met it in the road.
Don’t divorce your wife. Take
her a dozen roses. The shock
will kill her and then you can use
the roses for the funeral.
There was a lot more prosperity
around Weldon when stockings
with a hole went to the darning
basket instead"of the rag b ig.
Maybe we'd start a row in this
country, too, if a bunch of foreign
ers came over and went to digging
0 George Washington's grave.

When a w mi n geis small wages

\X'e heartily agree with Chief of

Noa ihey're talking about sim

fice.
5. 1'hat it is the purpose of the
Weldon Daniels-for-President club
to bend its efforts towards obtain
ing the Democratic nomination and
the national election of Hon. Jo
sephus Daniels to the Presidency
of the United States.
6. That it is the opinion of this

fer and others spoke to these reso
lution heartily endorsing them and

The wedding was characterized

Lance, pastor of the bride. The
mpressive ring ceremony being

MAH-JONG.
Game of the Chinese Dope Fiend
Outlawed in Country in which
it Originated, Finds Place in
Weldon.
The following by Donald Strick
ler in the Dearborn Independent
will be read with interest by some
of our readers who have become
fascinated by tins new game:
"Dong Chow Mah-jong!—
America has found a new amuse
ment. And what could he more
romantic? To begin with, n is
"Made in China”; it includes
counters which look like chop
sticks; there is all the mystery of a
magician's cabinet, with it are little
blocks of polished ivory or bone
and bamboo dovetailed together.
The characters on these Chinese
dominoes arc dragons, circles,
bamboos, winds, flowers and sea
sons
But the members of our elite so
ciety, sitting down to tlnir after
noon Mah j mg clubs, little guess
that it is opposed by government
and moral influences in China and
and that it is being played only by
street denizens and dope fiends in
the gambling resorts and opium
dens. The Mah-jong gamester in
China has about the same status as
a bootlegger in the United States.
Students of American universi
ties enthusiastically receive this
novel game into their fraternity
homes, but do not know and are
not told that in China Mah-jong—
more than immorality—has ruined
the lives of multitudes of students
and caused them to drop ilieir
books.
Chinese Christians are expelled
from churches for playing the
game.
After the World War it was
found necessary to explain to the
Hast why the so-called Christian
nations of the West had been grap
pling at one another's throats. It
seems that now we are facing a
similar paradoxical situation. A
group of Chinese Christians are
saying that America and Hngland
are setting China a bad example
through the introduction of Mah
jong as a social institution. The
National Christian Council of
China has written an open letter
to the Federal Council of Churches
in America, concerning the vogue
of the game here."

"VENUS."
The golden staircase scene in
I Geo. b. Wine's production of
i "Venus” which will he seen at the
i People's Theatre on Tuesday,
j March 18th, is said to be one of
, the most opulent stage creations
: ever devised. The entire scene is
| occupied by a gigantic series of
‘ steps, covered wiih hundreds of
' square feet of cosily gold leal No
sooner is the beholder throw n into
admiration at the magnigcence of
the investiture than appears Nyra
Brown in her dazzling robed'or,
the train of which measures over
ninety feet, and emerges from he
: neath the stage. Mr. Wintz has

Aside from those attractions, it will

a bevy of the most beautiful mai

fifty gallons of mash, several meas

by the hogs on ihe farm, while iht
containers and measuring pots
were held as evidence to assisi jri
the conviction of the negro distiller,
A thorough search was made fot

from their search for the still they
found the hogs which had partaken
of the mash, hilariously drunk.
Some were pawing the earth, and
some were endeavoring to kil
their fellow-hogs In tact those
who saw ihem say that the swine
were behaving much in the same
manner as humans when they
have partaken too freely.
The negro. Devereaux was ar
