(Tm Pun) AHOSKIE, NORTH CAROLINA, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 31, 1918 (ONE SECTION) No. 29 TRUSTEES WILL DECIDE LOCA TION COLLEGE Removal of Chowan College To Be Left to To Board of Trustee* K( ACTION TAKEN AT THE BAPTIST ASSOCIATION Meeting of The Trustees Will Be Held Soon To Deter mine Question -> The West Chowan Associa tion, in its annual meeting on last Tuesday, October 28th, by a vote of 49 to 10, passed a res olution, offered by Rev. Mr. Miller .pastor of the Seaboard Baptist Church .vesting in the Trustees of Chowan College, the right to remove Chowan Col lege to any place they saw fit, provided they deemed it best to move the College at all. In event the institution is removed from its present location the trustees are likewise empow ered to dispose of the proper ty in any way they saw fit. In other words, the loca tion of Chowan College has been left entirely to the Board of Trustees of that institution. Hon. J. H. Matthews, presi dent of the Board, announced immediately after the passage of the resolution that a meet ing of the trustees would be held soon, at which time the propostions of other towns as well as the claims of Murfrees boro would be duly considered Thus ended the first scrimmage over the probable location of Cho wan College, the action being taken directly following the report on Chris tian Education. The matter was dis posed of in about an hour, and bat feeble opposition developed against the resolution as passed. By reason of this action the representatives from Murfreesboro and the other towns bidding for the location of the College had practically no opportu nity to present their elaima before the Association. Among the towns >?that were present with their official representatives Were Mdkfreesboro, Rocky Mount, and Ahoskie. Elisa beth City, who is also patting in a bid for the college had forecasted the action of the Aasociation, and representatives from that city ann ounced that they were waiting for the meeting of the trustees, there to offer their proposition. XHon. D. C. Barnes, of Murfrees boro, was granted the priveleges of the Association floor, and in a vey brief statement told of the interest his townspeople had in Chowan Col lege. Rev. Kincheloe, of Rocky Mo ant, was also recognized; stating that his city was ready to make large in ducements for the location of Chowan College there, provided the College was removed from the two associa tions?West Chowan and Chowan. Rev. P. B. Raymond presented a resolution to the Aasociation, design ed to instruct the trustees to keep the Collage within the West Chowan or Chowan Association ( should it be removed at all.) However, thisrea oltion did not gat far. Rev. Mr. Ray mond himself withdrawing H, at the instance of Rev. t. A. Long, of Au lander, who stated that, although he did not believe that the trustes would move it out of the two associations any way, ha did believe that the large suMriptlons offered by town* lituat IMHR/* - t .. A. ' ed without either of.the associations might spur the town* in the asaocia tion and cause them to offer even greater inducements. An early meeting of the Board of, trustees will be called to meet in the town of Ahoskie, perhaps, to receive the bids from the towns asking for the college, and to settle the question of removing the college.

I 'These men have been to the very front in the light for the rights of the Southern fanner and are truly ' learned. Two other exceptionnally able spe akers have Been secured: C.r R.

Full plans have been, made with the Kings' Daughters for tha feeding of the big crowd that will be in at tendance on this rally, when the pea nut growers will be patting one ano ther on the back over the fine show ing they have made in adding new members to their association and in the organization of their Exchange. They will sell oysters and sandwiches at moderate prices to all. With peanuts now playing around the ten cent mark the growers will be in far better spirits than they were last spring, for on the vary day Gov ernor Davis tddresed them in their big gathering March 11 they were down in the mouth because their pea nuts were bringing only five cents or less, but they took courkge and are now ready to come together in a great rally for the future develop ment of their industry.

SCOPE O FTHE FOUR TEENTH ANNUAL CENSUS EXTENDEDE The Fourteenth Annual Census To ..be Taken in Year 1920 Will Abo Include Foresty and Foresty Pro- j duct*. Washington, D. C., October 30? That the Fourteenth Decennial Cen sus, on which the actual enumera tion work will begin on January 2, 1920, is to 'be the most important, ever taken is shown by the fact that the act of Congress providing for this census expressly increased the scope of theinqturies so as to include foresty and foresty products, two subjects never covered specifically by any preceding census. The inquiries.to be made relative to population, manufacturers, mines, quarries and agriculture were also extended in their scope hy Congress the keenest interest over the orth coming census having been shown by the members of the ceusus commit tees of both House and Senate while the law was under consideration. The statistics gathered on mining will include all oil and gas wells. Many startling developments in this important branch of the Nation's resources are looked for by the cen sus officials. The figures gathered in Texas, Oklahoma and Kansas will no doubt prove to those most eagerly sought for, as shown by inquiries al ready received by the Census Bureau. The compilation and gathering of foresty and forest products statis tics will be in charge of a special force of experts. The accurate and comprehensive figures gathered con cerning this vital natural resource will be much in demand, and the com parisons made with the conditions existing before the war will be in teresting. Agricultural statistics will like wise be the subject of special effort on the part of the Census Bureau as . the importance of farming is like- I wise being realized by the average Citizen for more than ever. HOME BUREAUS WOULD FED ERATE In New York State a movement is on foot to make the State feder ation of farm bureaus representa tives of the women's interests as wall as those of the men. The women who now have representation 1n the county organizations, which are i?>w known as the joint farm and home bureaus, have asked that the form of the State federation be altered to give them similar representation in the larger asaociation. > Country's Largest Coal Market.

One of the principal activities of the exchange is in the distribution of pure-bred livestock. The breeders send a list of the ani mals they have for sale to the office of the county agricultural agent. He makes up lists of these animals and distributes them throughout the coun ty, frequently advertising in the lo cal papers. If any .animals are not disposed of in the county, a list of them Is sent to the extension depart ment of the State Agricultural Col lege, where lists are made up for the entire state and sent to every coun ty and to the adjoining states. In this way many farmers who other wise would not have an opportunity of locating pure-bred aires are able t oget exactly what they want. Thru the exchanges many carloads of pure bred stock have been sold to buyers from othfr states.
