The bell that is being used now of course belongs to a prifate concern, the Methodist church, and now everybody wants one that we can call our own. and one that can be heard all over town Ixnoir has no tire alarm law aim to get at the principal , .system at all. a thing she is source of the taxable wealth of : bildl-v i need of and of course the country, according to Judge I the bell could answer that pur- who represents m Iose also, for almost every town Cordell Hull Congress the Fifth Tennessee 1 of any imxrtance in the State district.

After receiv more than two billion dollars of ; ing a negative answer to his government, state and local j proposal to Miss Maggie Baker AMENDMENTS TO CONSTITUTION. (News and Observer.) Important is the matter of amending a State Constitution, and that which stood for many, many years in North Carolina is how in the process of change. a matter which demands the closest attention of the men who are to propose the changes and the people who are finally at the ballot box to approve or disap prove of them. The Amendment Commission authorized by the General As sembly of 1913 is to meet in Raleigh today for a three days' session on the final disposition of the measures to be presented as proposed amendments to the General Assembly when it is convened in extra session for the consideration of the changes suggested and recommended. The Commission at its previous meetings, has gone over many matters, and its work has been crystalized into measures which have passed second reading and which art1 now up for the third and final reading, these being: "Veto power for Governor. "A new system for taxation, allowing classification of sub jects of taxation and reparation of sources of revenue. "Allowing intermediate ap pellate courts between Supreme and Superior courts, and enab ling Superior court judges to ride smaller circuits. "Preventing passing of cer tain local, special and private acts by legislature. "Initiative and referendum. "Increase pay for Legislators. "Allowing Bible reading in public schools. "Striking out the word 'Re bellion.' "Prohibiting formation of corporations by special act. "Taking away homestead from single men who has no member of his family dependent upon him. "Allowing Legislature to ap propriate tines in Recorder's court to city schools. "Compulsory school term of six months.

I tm getting all the farmers whom I tisit dot, to promise to sow at least one acre of crimson clover. It is estimated that a crop of cov peas tamed uuder is worth from $5 to $15.00 and a crop trim son clover troui 10 to $30 00 pei acre according to the growth it makes. Critrson clover seed is very cheap this year and every farmer should sow at least one acre or more. Several farmers in this county are saving their own crimson clover seed and that is wht I want every one that sows crimson clover to do they are the easiest seed in the world saved. Cut the clover be. fore it gets too ripe or when damp and handle when damp, put on tioor get it dry and it will beat out easily of course you will not get the chaff off, but it will be better to sow than clean seed, the chaff will get wet and keep the young plant alive in dry weather. An acre of crimson clover would probably make seed enough to sow 20 acres. The best time to sow crimson clover is about the first of Septem ler after the ground has been thoroughly wet and as soon as dry enough harrow iu, if in corn use a 14 tooth harrow. Fertilizer used at the time of sowing and the grouud being damp will insure a stand. A man that travels through Caldwell next year will see the beautiful red acres of crimson clover and the one that goes through in 1915 will see the fields instead of single acres. Crimson clover if cut while in bloom will make tine hay, also is fine for grazing. I The best way to do if the seed is saved is to turn the stubble aud sow in Ctowpeas or soja beans: If turned under alout the time the heads are ripe and planted in com it will increase the corn from 10 to 30 bu. per acre. Mr. F. J. Bow man and Mr. 1). M. Parlier of Granite Falls Route 3 have some of the finest corn I have seen this year where they have turned uu der crimson clover; some of the best of it will make about 100 bus. per acre. If farmers will turn uu der crimson clover and plenty of other humus the ground will not BECAUSE SHE SAID NO I The lli-ci 'wr. i taxes are now paid by citizens whose incomes are under SMXX)., it was not deemed unfair to fix the exemption for the present at the latter figure. Later, when the new law becomes gen erally understood and adjusted to the country and taxes are better equalized, or the needs of the Treasury greater, the ex emption would naturally be low ered to something like S2.IKK) and special deductions allowed according to the size of the fam ily, the number of indigent rel atives being supported, and for premiums paid on life insurance, etc. The proposed exemption ol Si.

Those who have views to pro pose on these, or any amend ments which they think should be presented to the people, should take occasion to let the Commission hear from them. It is a matter in which every person in the State is at interest and it is a time for suggestion and comment. When the Com mission has finished its labors there may be, suggestions for other amendments to be made to the General .Assembly, and there should be careful scrutiny and earnest study of all that is rec ommended and all that is sug gested.
