Windsor, July 24.?Tba annual
meeting of the Farmers' Union ol
Bertia county waa held hero Thura
da.v. The attendance waa largf,
ranching over two thousand peo
ple. No untoward event of any
character marred the day's pleas
ure. The ladies had decorated the
courtroom with flags and bunting
and also with a beautiful display
of farm products. The exercises
were enlivened by the Rocky
Hock brass band, an organization
composed entirely of farmers
Farmers* and sons compose the
membership and make it more
unique. \
James Lawrence Harrington,
president of the County Union,
called the meeting to order and
made an _ excellent address. A
quartette composed of Messrs W.
J. Daniels, W. F. Daniels. J. W.
Lassiter and J. Jordan Ward,
! sang a magnificent piece of music
and were forced to respond to an
encore. The farmer boys know
just how to make the notes ring
out harmoniously. Rev. W. T.
Asbell, chaplain, led in prayer.
Hon. Francis D. Winston wel
comed the viators to the town. It
was a hearty handshake he gave
each one present and all at once
felt entirely at home. Prof. It
w . burly, county superintendent,
handsomely introduced Mr. tt. W.
Frieman, of the United States
demonstration bureau, Mr. Frie
man m<?t interestingly entertained
and instructed the audience with
a recital of the demonstration
Work in the various counties of
the state. He urged the employ
ment of an agent for this county.
He was taking along new lines to
the people snd they were deeply
interested. At the close of this
interesting address dinner was
served of the very best Bertie
county could afford; tliat is saying
enough. *
After dinner the audience reas
sent bled. A quartette of Messrs.
W. J. Daniels, W. F. Daniels and
J. W. Ltissiter, and Miss Bessie
Lasaiter stirred the audience to
applaus. President Harrington
then stated tltat the meeker in
vited for that hour had not come
but that ''he has found a supply in
lhe person of Judge Winston, who
is ever ready to serve his people,
and thev ever ready to honor
him." At his request Mr. R. ?.
Tarkinton made a handsome pre
sentation of Judge Francis D.
Winston. He suDplemer.ted the
address of the morning session.
He impressed his points with apt
illustrations and stories and made
a fine speech. The audiance was
then dismissed with prayer by the
cbftplin and at once the beautiful
streets of Windsor were alive with
young and old mingling ih happy
greeting and conversation. *
The business meeting of the
union was held after the exercises
concluded. Excursions by tbf
train and boat brought visitors
from the surrounding counties
Those having the day in charge

with the complete success of^tbeir

i Wbiteville Tobacco Market Has
Aospicioos Opening.
About 75.000 Pooads Sold Pint
Day; Average 5 cent*.
! Whiteville. N. C.. Jul.* 84.?The
tobacco market liere was formally
opened yesterday, and the quantity
of tobacco on the floor was much
above the expectations of most
people. In all there were about
76,000 pounds of leaf tobacco
sold. These figures compare ad
vantageously with those of other
nearby markets, especially in con
sideration of the fact that White
villa has only one market: The
sales averaged five cents per
pound, the maximum price being
11 1-2 cents.
For many hours before the
sales commenced wagon loads of
the leaf tobacco continued to arrive
in town, and the scene on the out
side of the warehouse was an un
usual one for this town. At one
time it was feared that the floor
space would not be large enough
to allow of all the tobacco being
unloaded, and it had actually to be
spread on the driveway. The to
bacco for sale was of many grade,
some being very inferior. Tbis,
however, could only be expected,
as many of the' growers brought
only primings.
The new warehouse is being
operated by Messrs. Wilson A
Tuggle, of Danville. Va., and the
auctioneering end of the business
was ably handled by Mr. Don
Guinn, also of Danville. A good
corps of bdy&9 were in attend
ance and others are expected ?t an
early date. Most of the growers
were well satisfied with the prices
that they received for their leaf.

(Chalotte Observer.)
Since the quart law went into
effect in North Carolina it has
been costing as much to get a bot
tle of whiskey as it formerly cost
to get a jug, but strangely enough
there has been no complaint?they
too anxious to get the whiskey to
stand back on the price. But the
express companies are making re
presentations to the Interstate
Commerce Commissions that they
are being put to a mountain! of
trouble in handling the quart
packages and are losing money, to
boot. They want an increace in
the rate to 85 cents. As Old King
Alchol does dot appear to have
a friend in court or anywhere else,
these days, it is probable that the
increase will be granted, but even
in thai event the line-up at the ex
press office Will be as closely oc
cupied and as long-drawn out as
ever.

i Gboian Summer School For
Teachers, Morfreesboro.
A summer school or |tri-county
institute opened in Cbowan College
July 6, 1915 with an enrollment of
W teachers who renresent North
Carolina from Yancey to Curri
tuck. We are also glad to state
that Mexico is represented in our
summer school.
This is the first summer school
in the State that has organized in
the manner that is.
No more suitable place in eastern
North Carolina could have lieen
chosen for a summer school than
at Chowan College, with all its
magnificent history and scenery.
The imposing college buildings,
the beautiful lawn with shade
trees, shrubbery and flowers, the
circular driveway bordered by
majestic old pines together with
the surrounding hills and valleys
suggestive of the Piedmont section
furnish ample recreation grounds
for instructors and students.
A strong faculty of specialists
and successful teachers chosen be
cause of their recognized ability in
their particular fields and their
special fitness for the instruction
of teachers, have been giving their
undivided time in the summer
school.
Among the instructors may be
mentioued, Prof. K. E. Sentelle.
Sunt, of Lumberton Graded
School, who was appoined by the
State Department of Education to
conduct the summer school. Prof.
Sentelle is ond' of the most pro
minent educators in North Caro
lina, and the Chowan section is
very fortunate indeed in securing
such an able man for the work he
is now doing.
p !'ei^e"er'l, discussion* lead by
? * ?;Switolle are based on
charter* Teaching the common
branches." So far the outlined
work in read, language. spelling,
|J?""^ 7^ "eom,ln^'P have
been ably discussed.
The work has been divided into
*" #cl,ool. intermediate and pri
mary section*.
The primary section claims the
largest number of teachers. This
work under the supervision of
7' C'p"8? Green of Ral
eitfh. N. C., who is recognized by
the greatest of educators a* being
one of the best specialists in both
the North and the South. Her
J ?ast experience a* student, teacher
and supervisor has wiin for her
j the burliest type of approbation.
Mrs. Green is assisted in primary
work by Mi?* Kthel Kelly, . v,?
capable instructor, being for many
years a teacher in our leading
schools of the sute, and who now
holds the position of primary
supervisor in Northampton Ooun
th' i a- mi"8 ke"v "
the leading specialisu in Domestic
Science in the State.
h A splendid course in Demestic
Science is being glven under thJ
direction of Miss Kelly. tf.J
course is of great vital interest it
being shown by the vast number
who are Uking the cdbrse.
r|Pr?f' n' o' Lineberpy' Pres., of
Chowan College, and who needs
no further introduction to the
educational center of North Caro
line is giving instructions in the
high school subjecU in the summer
school.
As a whole, the body of teach
ers in the summer school are above
the average in their general atli
tude for the work. They are not
absent from any of sessions,
whether general or sectional, un
less providentially hindered. This
shows the great interest being
manifested by the teachers as a
student body.
Much good has been derived
from the practice school work.
Uften the instructors call on mem
hereof their different classes to
five a model lesson. This has
wor ted wonderfully and many
teachers are benefited not only by
observation, but by realy doing
tbe actual work.
Discussions concerning some of
the vital problems of tbe school
room are receiving attention and
the teaciiera are made to feel that
they are the one, to discuss these
problems by exchanging ideas.
?A Story Tellers' Club lias beer
organized which meets just al
twilight on the lawn. Meeting*
are held from evening to evening
and practically all the teachers
take an active part. A great
amount of good, as well as social
value, is being derived from the
club.
On Monday night, 19th. a "Get
Acquainted Social" was given the
summer school students. The
main object was to get acquainted.
Provision was made for good
music and recitations. Afterwards
refreshments were served. This
meeting of the teachers was of
great social pleasure.
During the summer school a
i.umber of distinguished educators
have been in our midst and given
important lectures. Among these
may be mentioned. Dr. John E.
Ray, Pres. of the Blind School in
Raleigh, Judge F. D. Winston of
Windsor, N. C., T. E. Brown, so
well known as the great corn club
worker over the State, R. E.
Parker, Sec. of Audubon Society
of N. C.. Miss Ruth Evans, State
Demonstrator of canning club
work and Miss Olive of Simmons
College. Boston, who is a special
ists in Domestic Science.
The summer school has continu
ed to grow in interest as well as in
number despite the extremely
warm weather. It now numbers
145. which is a record breaker for
the first summer school at Chowan.
May the step that has been
taken at Chowan College for in
struction of teachers be just the
beginning of the great work
^before us, and let us |>ress ever
forward to make Chowan a great
educational centre in the summer
as well as in the winter.
Epvorth League Claw Organized
Mr. W. A. Graham of Warren
ton, N. C., wait here Sunday July
18th., the purpose of re organizing
Ti>e Epworth League of the
Ahoskie Methodist Church.
Mr. Graham made a very inter
esting and instructive talk along
the line of League work. After
which a nominating committee
composed of Mr. E. J. Gerock,
Mrs., L. S. Savage and IMisa Nelie
Baker was appointed. The follow
ing officers were nominated and
elected to serve for the first term;
Mr. J. H. Robertson Pres.. Mrs.
S. J. Boyette Vice-Pres., Mr Dan
P. Boyette Sec., Miss Minnie
Baker Treasurer and Miss Nelie
Baker Corresponding Secretary.
After the election of officers Mr.
Graham gave some very instruc
tive information as to the work
of the officers which we feel sure
will help make the League a suc
cess.
An Instilation service, which
will be announced later, will be
held soon. Everybody is cordially
invited to attend all these services.
D. P. Boykttk, Secretary.
Got the "Drop" on a "Bad Man."
A man walked into the office of
Andrew Carmichsl, editor of an
Okmulgee, Ok., newspaper, last
week aud locked the door behind
him.
"I'm going to make you eat last
night's issue of your paper," the
visitor said.
"All right," replied Carmical,
"but you had belter lock the door
again. It has come open."
The man turned to the door to
find it still locked. When he faced
Carmical again he-looked into the
muzxle of a revolver. In jail the
man said an article in the paper
which said men who beat their
wives should in turn be beaten by
a jury of twelve men, reflected
directly on him.
