STATE BEGINNING TO "LIVE AT-HOME" Governor Gardner's "Live-at Kome" campaign broadcast through the state in 1930 and being followed up this year with another axtensive campaign is bringing ac tual results in increased acreages planted in food and feed crops. Figures compiled by C. A. Shif field, assistant extension director at State college, for 1930, show that farmers have added to acreage planted in 14 important food and feed crops since 1929. As a result, a total placed at $19,000,000 was add ed to the value of these crops. While adding thousands of acres to food and feed crops the acreage planted in cotton was cut from 1, 878,000 acres in 1929 to 1,644,000 acres and a percentage decrease of 12 for the entire state. Particularly encouraging to the "Live-at-Home" workers is the in crease in home gardens on farms, more than 10,000 acres being added in 1930 for a percentage increase of above 10. Other food and feed crops which show gains in Mr. Sheffield's tabu lations follow: Corn, 271,000 acres added; 12 per cent gain. Oats, 28,000 acres added; 11 per cent gain. Barley, 3,000 acres added; 8 per cent gain. Hay, 66,000 acres added; 7 per cent gain. Soy beans, 72,000 acres added; 35 per cent gain. Cowpeas, 13,000 acres added, 19 per cent gain. Irish potatoes, 16,000 acres added; 21 per cent gain. Sweet potatoes, 20,000 acres add ed ; 25 per cent gain. Sorghum, 10,000 acres added; 10 per cent gain. Truck crops (Com), 11,810 acres added; 6 per cent gain. Laying hens, 230,246 birds added; 4 per cent gain. Dairy cows, 24,000 head added; 9 per cent gain. Three tons of fine hay from two acres of lespedeza is the report made of a trial planting of the crop by W. P. Joyner of Zebulon, Wake county. Mr. Joyner says lespedeza is one of the finest crops he evei grew. Craham 50 Years Ago. ?fhe Scott & Donnell store lot, like most others within a block .or two of the courthouse square, has undergone a big change in appear ance in a 50-year period. As stated heretofore, at the pe riod (1880) of which we are speak ing, there was but one building, the wooden store, on the spacious Scott ?fc Donnell lot. In the latter part of the 80's the late Col. Jacob A. Long bought a lot about 25x60 next to the Pugh lot, upon which he built a one story two-room building for his law office. This he sold some years la ter and later the late Dr. J. C. Sim mons bought it, moved the one story building off and built the three-story brick building now oc cupied by Wrike Drug Co. Dr. Sim mons had his drug store here sev eral years. Near the time, a little later than the purchase made by Col. Long, Mr. L. Banks Holt bought the space between Col. Long's office and the old Scott & Donnell store. Upon this Mr. Holt built the large two story double store occupied by the furniture and undertaking busi ness of Green & McClue. The southern half of the build ing was first built and a year or more later the northern half was built. Here the firm of L. B. Holt & Co., under the management of the late J. W. Menefee, operated the most extensive mercantile business ever in the county up to that time. It was both a wholesale and retail business and drew a large volume of business from adjoining coun ties. It was an incorporated company, and after its dissolution it was suc ceeded by Mr. L. Banks Holt and his son-in-law, the late Morton B Wharton, Jr., under the firm name of Holt & Wharton. After the death of Mr. Wharton the business was continued for a year or two, and finally Mr. Holt retired entirely from the mercantile business. 1 { J The L. B. Holt & Co., store build ing, as it Was known for about-fif teen years, was occupied for a few years by other firms, among them Roberson & Rives, Charles Sweitzer and others, in the southside store; and in the northside John T. Black & Co., and others. t. Later Green & McClure moved their furniture business into the northside store. After purchasing the property- they completely over hauled and remodeled it. and now occupy the large double store with their extensive furniture and un dertaking business. Here we come to the Scott 4i Donnell store again. This was one of the landmarks of the town 1 which was due to pass away before the advance of modern progress. 1 But it was in this antiquated busi ness house, and by close attention to business, economical living, that Messrs. Scott and Donnell built up a comfortable estate. Mr. Donnell, who was never married, kept the books for the concern and was c'.il ligent about making collections. He had his room upstairs over the store, and in addition to his other duties and activities was the burg lar alarm, safety deposit box and the watch-dog over the finances. It is but a simple matter of justice to say that he acted all these parts well and in good faith. By the glowing wood fire in the ample fireplace at the rearend of the store room, after the day's work was over, a small coterie of men (and in those days mature men were not very numerous in Gra ham) gathered and discussed cur rent events and gossiped till bed time. Perhaps some deep-laid plans were incubated. If there were pro found secrets, none of the com pany is left to say what they were. If the walls of the store-rooms har bored any of the secrets, they, too, have vanished and been scatter ed to the four winds. It's all a closed book now. Before the old store finally pass ed, the upper story was converted into a lodge room which was en tered by an outside stairway at the rear of the building. In this rooir> the Masons. Knights of Pythia, Jr. O. U. A. M., Odd Fel lows and others held their stated meetings until other and better equipped rooms were available. Taking the place of the old store, wing or shed and "L" are four nice one-story brick stores occupied by 1 the White Front Market, Penders, J. C. McAdams' 5-and-10-cent store and J. D. Lee's dry goods store. ? These were built by Mr. H. W. Scott '< and the late J. L. Scott, Jr. ! Between these stores and W. i Harden street is a vacant lot 30x60 ? feet. It has always been vacant so far as we know, except for a great oak tree that stood well back from the corner and with spreading branches shaded the larger portion of the corner lot. This was a cool shady place where the boys played marbles and pitched horseshoes in the summer time for recreation. Miss Joanna Jones bought and held this lot for about 20 years. The owner now is Graham Drug Co.. who we have heard, bought it with the intention of building a drug store on it. There are two other buildings on this lot which front on W. Harden street, but as to these we will speak later when we come to consider W. Harden St. Our next move is across W. Har-1 den street. . . !

Week.iy News Review is History in the Making* One of the big newspapers, in an effort to account for and justify the predominance of crime news In Its columns, defined news as "ac tion," and explained that there was more "action" day by day la the criminal world than elsewhere. i ! That big newspaper may be right but we do not believe our readers are interested in the "action" of the underworld of the big cities. We do believe they are interested in the events that are making the history of our nation and of the world in general. It is history in the making that we are giving to our readers week after week in the department headed "Weekly News Review," written by Edward W. Pickard. This is an editorial interpreta tion of the events that are making history, of fthe events that have an influence, directly or indirectly on ourselves. It covers the kind of events that our intelligent citizens talk about, that they wish to be in formed about so they may talk in telligently. Edward W. Pickard, who pre pares this feature for our columns, is one of the highly trained news paper observers and writers of the nation. He has a background of many years of experience, of a very broad education, of personal con tact with men of affairs in this NOTICE. Sale ol Real Estate Under Morgage.
