Sopt Robertson Speaks Word of En couragement to Corn Club Boys. Dear Corn Club Member : I have been very much pleased with the large number enrolled In our county club this year. We have nearly 100 members—Bs is the last number reported from the Raleigh office. 1 am very anxious that every boy plant his acre and do his best and remain in the club] till the end—the harvest season of the fall. I No doubt you have been .discour-1 aged by the extreme drouth. You' may not b&Ve your patch planted, or if you have it planted, it may { be you have been unable to get a stand and see it grow. While the | drouth -has been one very unusual i for the time of year, yet the test! time, the time when corn mostly needs rain for a crop, has not yet come. That time is in July and August. So there is a chance for a crop yet. I do not think the chance is as good to plant late as it is to plant sooner, yet ydu can plant any time in June and make corn. So, if you have not done so, plant, if you can do it in June. Keep trying. "The darkest hour' is Just before dawn." The County Fair Association will offer special premiums this year to the Corn dub members. Get ready to win some of them. We want every member at our annual picnic between the girl's Tomato Club and the boys' Corn Clubs. These picnics are becoming great occasions for instruction and pleasure. The time for the picnic is August Bth and the place is my home—one mile west of Burling ton. I want you to come. I'll Wfite you again about this a little later. Keep the rules of the Club to the letter, from start to finish. You will find them on the last page of the hand-book sent out in April. Keep plowing, keep planting, keep pushing, keep pulling, keep persevering until the last row is "laid by." Yours in the work, J. B. ROBERTSON. Graham, June IS, 1914. In Memory of Firemen.

Engineer and Fi(eman Killed Near - ReidsvUte. Johp P. Wingate, one of the old eft and bast known engineers In the service of the Southern rail-j way, and Gal; Pickard ,hls fire man, lost their lives shortly after' midnight Sunday morning, when [ Southbound passenger train No. 29, 1 the Southern's fast train between New York and Jacksonville, was derailed at Sadler, the first station north of Reidsville. The train was running late and making a sp?ed of about 40 miles an hour when the , engine and tender left the track ( and rolled down an embankment. The mail car, baggage car, and ex- I press car, two day coaches, and a Pullman car left the track, but did not turn over. The mall clerk aiyl baggage master suffered slight slight bruises. There were no in-] Juries among 012 passengers. When the engine turned over Fireman Picknrd was caught ba-. neath the tender Snd was probably ' killed instantly. Mr. Wingate was j found lying by his engine, his body badly bruised and scalded from head to foot, He suffered the j greatest agony and died about one | o'clock. He regained consciousness ! a few minutes before he died and j passed away with a prayer on his lips for himself, his wife and dren. The telegraph operator at Sadler wired n?wi of the accident to Oreensboro and in a few minutes physicians and a wrecking crew were hurrying to the scene of the disaster on a special train. The track was cleared about noon and the ill fat?d train reached Greensooro at 1.20 o'clock, carry ing the bodies of the dead engi neer and fireman. The remains were sent'to the home of engineer Wingate in Spencel - , and Fireman Pickard in Salisbury. The accident is believed to have been caused by a bar of iron that dropped" on the track from one of the northbound trains Saturday night. The track was torn up and twisted for a distance of about 500 feet. —SO tubs of lard at 10c a pound by the tub at J. T. Black & Bro.'s. Excursion to A she ville,N.C.
