School In Cracker State.
County Agent John B. Steele has
offered hts resignation to take effect
the first of August This news will
come as a surprise to many in the
county who have appreciated the fine
work he has been doing. However, it
is. largely on account ot his good rec
ord here that he is resigning to take
up a large work In another field. ' He
goes to Glynn county, Ga,, to take
charge ot the "Community School," lo

seat. The salary is around two thous

MISS LOUISE THOMAS DIES.
Daughter of Mr. and Mrs. (J. D. Thorn.
as Buried Friday Morning at
Hood, Virginia.
Genuine and widespread sorrow was
occasioned here last Wednesday morn
ing when a telegram was received
from Washington, announcing that
Miss Louise, daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
G. D. Thomas, had died at that place
Tuesday night. : Miss Thomas had
been ill for several weeks with ty
phoid fever and when just about out
of danger ate something that caused
a relapse. For more than a week she
hung between life and death, but just
a few days previous to passing away
took a turn for the better. The friends
here who had anxiously waited for ti
dings from her bedside had hopes ot
her recovery. The next news receiv
ed was that saying she had quietly
passed away. She was buried Friday
morning at Hood, Va., her old home
and the birth place of her mother.
Clerk of Court C. E. Godwin, a close
friend ot the family, attended from
here.
Miss Louise was next to the eldest
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas, was
Just a little over sixteen, a young la
dy of rare charm and attractiveness,
During the six years she lived here
she won her way into the hearts of all
who knew her best. Mr. Thomas
moved his family to Washington last
fall, in order that his children might
have advantage of the fine schools
there, while he remained here most of
the time to look after business inter
ests.

Lieut CecH and Sergeant Perry (Jet
ting New Men 32 of Company
Fall to Pais Examination.
Thirty-two enlisted men out of 101
in Company "A". failed to successfully
pass the physical examination at
Morehead Citv and have returned to
their homes. Under weight was the
prevailing cause ot rejection, with va
rious slight physical delects increas
ing the number. Several were sent
iack because of bad teeth and some of
these may have a dentist remedy their
trouble and return for another exam
ination. Two men were rejected for
over weight.. The boys who have re
turned say that they fared well at
Camp Glenn, that the boys are well
fed and cared for and that they are
not being drilled to excess. Shower
and surf bathing and fishing add to
the pleasures of the camp life.-- Tne
Third Regiment has the most deslra
able camp site of any of the regi
ments. Mr. Dave Leonard is in charge
of the officers mess hall and Private
Otis Hedrick has been detailed to as
sist him, while "Ras" Hargrave Is act
ing as chief cook.
Second Lieutenant J. K. Cecil and
Sergeant R. B. Perry were sent home
last week as recruiting officers and
have busily engaged In securing pros
pects since. Several have already
been examined and sent on to Camp
Glenn to join Company "A." They
have an ad in this issue calling for
more recruits, as they are anxious
that the Rifles be brought up to' as

where they live too far away to walk
conveniently. There 1 no high school
, department, -but the. same track that
'gather up thi children for this school
carries the high school pupils to the
county high school In Brunswick,
which was established under the pa
tronage of King George, before the
Revolutionary War.
Mr. Steele, however, is not going
among strangers, for he is really to
be connected with a settlement ot em
igrated Tar Heels. Nearly all the
people In that section came from Eas
tern North Carolina, or are the chil
dren ot emigrated parents who went
to that section to engage in the tur
pentine and lumber Industry. This
has practically been exhausted, so the
people have turned to the develop
ment of agricultural resources, and
to do this in the right way they are
carrying the educational uplift of the
community side by side with Indus
trial progress. The county superin
tendent of education, Mr. N. H. Bal
lard, is a native of Buncombe county.
Mr.- Ballard was here about ten days
ago and secured the consent of Mr.
Steele to take charge of the work. The
county agent for demonstration work
is none other than Mr. R. L. Dunn, of
Scotland Neck, better known to col
lege men of this state as "Big Lon
nle," who for four years played right
tackle on the A. A M. football team.
COMMUNITY SPIRIT.
There Is a ten acre farm connected
with the school, and here practical
work in agriculture takes place, un
der the direct supervision ot Mr.
Steele, who will also teach farm sub
jects In connection with his duties as
head of the Institution. There will be
a large farm garden at the, command
of the superintendent and it will serve
the double purpose ot giving supplies
for his household and teaching tha
students bow to do proper farm gar
dening and trucking, the principal
phase of agriculture ' followed here.
The community spirit her Is also be
ing highly developed and large com
saunlty meetings are expected to be
held regularly at the school building.

game. A drizzling rain which began

as usual at the games. The game be
gan in a rather ragged fashion, with
both teams contributing a few errors
on account of the rain, but after a few
Innings passed the affair settled down
to a battle royal. Erlanger early took
the lead and held It until Bulla Boy,

Number of Automobiles Will Go From
Davidson to Visit Test Farm on
21st of This Month.
It is expected that a large number
of Davidson county farmers will go
in automobiles to Iredell county on
the 21st of this month, to visit the
Test Farm of the Department of Ag
riculture and see the big alfalfa fields
and stock farms near there. County
Agent Steele is busily engaged in get
ting up bands of farmers from differ
ent sections of the county, who will
go by automobile. Saturday morning
a number of Boone township farmers
were here and in five minutes Mr.
Steele secured the promise of six far
mers to go, five of these being from
Boone. He suggests that farmers ov
er the county who have automobiles
make up parties to join the procession
that will go over from Davidson.
There Is an excellent automobile road
from here to Statesville, and Iredell
county has nearly a half million dol
lars worth of fine top soil roads, so
after all the trip will be one of unal
loyed pleasure. It comes at a time
also when most of the farmers will be
through the rush season.
Hundreds ot automobiles are ex
pected to go from other nearby coun
ties, Mecklenburg and Catawba being
among the counties that have already
made up large parties. Many of the
state agricultural officials and work
ers from the Federal government will
be at the Test Farm that day. A big
barbecue and other forms of enter
tainment are being planned by the
people of Iredell to make their neigh
bors feel at home. Those who go by
train will be met at Statesville by au
tomobiles and carried to the Test
Farm, the Mooresville creamery and
other points of agricultural interest
The new county agent for demon
stration work is expected to be on
hand by that time and he will be In
charge of the party and hopes on this
occasion to meet and get acquainted
with just as many Davidson county
farmers as possible.
Mr. J. B. Steele requests as many
farmers from Davidson county as can
do so to attend this gathering. . Those
who have automobiles 'should meet
him in Lexington on the morning of
the twenty-first at 7:45 o'clock. Those
who cannot go by automobile should
go up on train No. 11 that leaves here
about the same hour. Every town
ship should be represented with one
half dozen or more farmers. As Mr.
Steele will be out ot town most ot the
time between now and that date, those
expecting to go on th trip should no-
