L. Shaping of this city, chairman of the State committee. In giving out the names, Mr. Shu ping expressed much gratification at the response received from all sections of the state, and the ''spirit of unity which prevailed in uie Demo- i cratic party." In making his announcement, Mr. Shu pine- pointed our that the en- | thusiasm displayed by Democrats \ approached in this .cause through- I out the State made it possible for j North Carolina to perfect its organfcatiqn in such a manner that the National Victory Fund Cam- J paign management had decided to ! use 'he North Carolina set-up as a model to spur similar aggressive activities in other states. Mr. Shu ping referred to his list of one hundred county '-managers as representing 'every element within the Democratic party in the State/* and added that this indicated the unity 'existing within the party and the determination of all to fight together for a great Democratic victory in November/' The North Carolina organization, Letters Lost or Stolen From Republican Files Greensboro.-?Kef erring to the efforts of "young men purporting to come from the district attorney's office" rn examine the files in Republican State headquarters, Chairman James S. Duncan, of the Republican State Executive Committee, Thursday issued a statement in which he declared that "there are numerous letters that, should be in the files that were either lost or stolen while out of the possession of their rightful owners." The statement by Chairman Duncan follows: "Some young men purporting to come from the district attorney's office did call to see me Tuesday and request to examine the files of the Republican headquarters. I advised "in- - -? --' -? i-nvo. TV;I^ LIUIL III Vie\V Ol the disreputable conduct 011 the part of the district attorney's office when they ha:: pssccsmcr.of t'.e files for a period of about five days that I bad no intention 01" permitting a repetition. The files were all disarranged and many of I hem torn to pieces and the contents jumbled together in one mass. There were numerous falsehoods told and misrepresentations made as to the contents and perfectly innocent letters were shown to people who had no connection with the investigation and scurrilous interpretations made of them. "In addition to this there are numerous letters that should be in the files that were either lost or stolen vhile out of the possession of their ightful owners. In view of this sitlation I would deem it extremely foolish on my part to try to co-opirate. It has been judicially determined by the United States District Lourt that the district attorney has to right to the possession of anv of the files."

LIME IN FERTILIZER IS NEW FARM IDEA Manufacturer of Soil Building Mixtures Asked to Use Ground Lime as Filler Material Rather Than Sand. Would Improve Crops. The use of ground limestone as a part of the fertilizer is a ne>v farm practice winning many followers in Xorth Carolina at the present time. Writing recently in the Monroe j Journal, Green, a careful ofcservand writer about agricultural n-.atters, reports on the use of ground I limestone as a filler and gives in-! lanccF where good faimers in his county are asking the fertil'zvr comuanics to use limestone as filler macrial rather than sand or some other inert ingredient. "It limestone had been used as a filler in fertilizers for the past five! years in Union County, sufficient limestone would have been deposited; in uur soils to double the yields of iespedezu ami soybeans and iu greativ , increase ihe yields of grains and ofch-j crop.* without, additional cost to farmers/' declared Mr. Green. These observations now get .support from scientific sources as a paper presented before the American Society of Agronomy on November I SO at Chicago seems to indicate. The facts brought out in this paper show that while the limestone required! for good fertilizer practice can be applied as a broadcast application once every four or five years and the method has been used in experimental work and by good farmers, the plan is open to objection in that many farmers will neglect to lime their laud in I his way until crops have been injured by excessive acidity. Some do not use good judgment in applying the lime and many will not lime under any conditions. It apparently is the opinion of many agronomists that Southern farmers will not buy much limestone irdess it can be purchased as a constituent of their fertilizers. The amount of limestone secured this way each year will not be large, yet will he sufficient to overcome any acidity in the fertilizer itself and will soon put the soil in excellent ccndti'ton for best crop yields.

He produced an average of 15 bushels 01 corn an acre on about five acres after turning under a crop of this clover and with no fertilizer. iS!lij|l!l!l!SI!lill!i!iili!!!!iiiii!liH 1 GRE far tn&ti H 89* U IS t ? = No need H second c ?when FI costs no n === Every year for HI tire has been j ?first choice i = That tire is TODAY mor = Goodyear Tire = kind?by mil you ride on f j mey cost no i == 31x5.25-2 r* A 1 leiura 1 BO< | Washing, Polishing < llll!ll!!l!llll!l!lllllll!lllllli!ilti|lillll!!lll Church Announcements' ADVENT CHRISTIAN REV.

As the price of wheat advanced, partly due to the sale and the consequent relief of northwestern storage, less and less wheat had to be allowed the millers, for each barrel of flour manufactured.
