BOYD R. TROLINGKR,
29apltf Tax Collector.
Mrs. Eliza Potter Settle, widow
of the late Thomas Settle who
died in Asbevilie in January, 1919,
died in a Baltimore hospital Mon
day morning. She had been in
declining health since her hus
band's death. Her age was 46
{ears. Wilmington was her girl
ood.home, where she was buried
Tuesday. A sister, Mm. Tench
C. Coxe of Asheville, survives
her.
Mr. Sam Thompson Dead.
On Wednesday afternoon, June
30th, about 3 o'clock the com
munity WHS saddened to hear of
the death of )ir. Sam Thompson,
so well known throughout the
county. He had been in declin
ing health for several years, but
until about two weeks ago was
able to go about the home. He
was stricken with paralysis sev
eral days ago and was unconscious
up until his death. Until this
time he was cheerful and bore his
suffering patiently, without a
murmur or complaint.
In the year 1875 he was happily
married to Miss Henrietta Arm
strong Sharpe, who, with eight
children, survive. They are as
follows: Messrs. Eli and Joe
Thompsou of Burlington, W. A.
of Columbus, Ga., and Sam J. of
Columbus, Miss., Mrs. EdO'Dapiel
of Hawfields, Mrs. John Whitesoll
of Eton, Mrs. Sam T. Johnston
and Miss Bessie of Graham. Miss
Bessie, the youngest daughter,
gave up hdr school work and de
voted her time nursing her father
for the past year. Everything
that loying hands could do was
done for him, but it seemed that
God had called him, and nothing
move could be done.
He was a kind father, affection
ate husband and a good neighbor,
ever ready to help in tbe time dt
need, and one whom we shall all
miss.
"A vacant chair is left that never cau
be filled;
A voice we loved is stilled,
I call it not death —it is lite begun,
For the battle is fought sad home
is won.
The ransomed spirit hath reached
the shorq
Where they sorrow and suffer no
more;
To depart from a world of sin and
strife
To be with Jesus, yes, this is life."

Pork ia Terms if Range tin Acre.
W. W. Shay, Office of Swine' Ex
tension.
There are very strong Indica
tions that at last Marth Carolina
la abont to assume her proper
position among the pork produc
ing States.
For too long pork production
has been thought of in terms of
price nf corn per bushel aa com
pared with the price of, in
stead of pounds of pork per acre
of forage, supplemented with a
proper amount of suitable eon
ceutrate.
When so u«ed, corn will bring a
satisfactory price, and acres de
voted 10 crops other than corn,
and requirtng less labor, may be
proflVably used.
It may be entirely true that a
hog raised in lowa, freighted to
Chldago, dressed, cured and re
shipped to North Carolina may
furuish cheaper pork than is
raised by the farmer buying it;
but if suoh Is the case, it Is not
due to any advantage oh part
of the lowa farmer, either cli
matic or Insurmountable. 1
Perk to Acre ef Perage.
When it is figured that after de
ducting 100 pounds of pork for
each 600 pounds of corn, or its
equivalent, fed, there is left an
average of between 350 and 870
pounds of pork per acre of forage,
at a labor cost of abont one-half
day per hundred pounds of pork
produced, this method of using
land appears more attractive dur
ing this time of labor shortags;
and more, farmers are looking at
tbe matter in this light 'than ever
before.
One thing is oertain: corn thus
used will be well paid for.
Harvesting oorn, peanuts and
soybeans by bogs will reduce tbe
amount of labor and tend to in
crease the prioe of that portion
of those products sold on the
market as such.
Wheu pork rained on the farm
is nicely on red before selling,
there is an additional profit which
pay* well for the extra lime con
sumed daring a seaeou oI the year
when the rush ia over. This
operatiou also oou verts the bog
