The Republican County Con vention met in Aboskie on May 13tb, and nominated the following County and Township officers who have qualified in the June primacy: For Repieaentative, 1. F.

Holloman; for Cooatable, Wheeler ltawla; for Magistrates, F. J* Marali, 11. G. Suii?ea, and H. W. Green. Tlie following platform waa adopted: The Republican Con vention assembled in Ahoakie on Mi.y 13th. 1916, endorses the State Republican Platform adopted in Raleigh March 1st. 1916, demand ing in our state affair*: 1. A fair election law. 2. Equitable luxation on & basis of economy. 3. Auditing of all our financial affair*. 4. Improved school system and agricultured education. 5. Convict employment in nub ile works. 6. General progressive and la bor legislation. And in national affairs we de mand: 1. Return to protection. 2. Preparedness for peace. Holiest civil service. 4. Rural credit system. 5. Restriction of immigration. 6. Upholding rights of Ameri cans. We demand iu our county af faiis: 1. The abolition of all useless officers. 2.' Salary-system for all county o ffices. 3. The collection of taxes more economically. 4. A monthly statement of re ceipts and disbursements by our road supervisors. 5. A complete audit of pur coun ty finances. n a ? a ?? t * t>. a more j-si ana equuaoie Value of property taxed. 7. Better bridges and ferries. 8. For legislation consistent with the demands and needs of the far mers of the county and state. These demands may be enlarged upon as follows: 1. The county is expending each year approximately four thousand and fi ve hundred dollars for the collection of taxes, and the office of County Treasurer. The taxes of the county could be^ col lected by the Sheriff and his depu ties as has oeen done very satis factorily in the oast; some of the many banks in the county could ?erve in Uncapacity of Treasurer. The abolition of these offices should save to the taxpayers not Jess than twenty-five hundred dol lars." ?> 2. There are a number bf coun ties in the State that have abolish ed the Fee System as the salary for the different county offices. By doing this and placing the of fices of the county on e salary ba sis we should be able to save to the taxpayers of the county approxi mately fifteen hundred dollars. 8. The present system of col lecting the taxes of the county are extravagant to Uie extieme, cost ing approximately thirty three hundred dollars for the entire county. 4. The people should have a monthly record of what monies are collected from them and' for what expended. Under the pres ent system- only officials of the county and the supervisors know the condition of our Road Fund. 5. It is essential that the people of the county know the exact con News of Interest From Winton. Chowan Club Hold* Monthly Meet ing?Prof. William* Leave* Personal Paragraph*.

PUNNING FOR THE COM ING CORN IH WAR TIDE. Lime Service Bureau Advises Far mere to Use Lime on Corn Land this Season. Nitrogen hastens stalk growth; phosphoric acid and potash push forward the maturing of the crop and the tilling of the ear. In the face of this, their own statemeut, the fertilizer manufalurers allow a uniformly reduced potash content in corn fertilizers for March 1916, as against their recommendations :ssued in January 1915. The mix ture they suggest are, us fur us potash is concerned, prohibitive iu price even if they are obtainable. Growing crops "want what they want, when they want it". War u'nd famine price are not their bus iueas. The ears will not fill, if the right propoition if potash to phosphoric acid is not maintained. Only as many kernels are produc ed as can get these elements at the rate of ten to sixteen. Buying corn fertilizer, with the relation of former experience in these ele ments disturbed, is throwing awav money on useless phosphoric acid, unless the corresponding potash comes from somewhere. It can come from the soil, if it is displaced from its acid combina tion by another element that will Lake its place and free it into the soil water. Like potash, this ele ment must be a base, namely lime. Farmers do not lime generally for corn, but under present conditions, it is essential. Doing so will in jure the crop, without adding to its cost. The Catalog and Milliner. Now, when you wish to buy a hat The proper thing to do Is get your friends and neighbors And a catalog or two. In Montgomery Ward you will al ways find The best of everything While Sears is good, the National too, The very best will bring. You call spend a pleasant evening. Planning what you wish to get. Then have it sent by Parcel Post And yon never need to fret. Then if you are disappointed, And wish a change in it, Take it to your local milliner For she won't mind a bit. Anyway, she shall be glad. We try to help her out. Or perhaps you can exchange. She would be glad no doubt. To some it may be shocking When they hear these awful things, But when milliners enter Heaven They must surely borrow wings. L. M. P, in Helpful Hints.
