cons' dered serious until shortly be
fore his death Monday morning,
when he was taken violently ill.
The funeral and interment took
place Tuesday afternoon in Morgan
ton, where Mr. Gilmer resided for a
number of years. The services were
conducted by the pastor of the
Presbyterian church of Morganton;
Rev. Mr. King, pastor of the Bap
tist church of MCAiry; Rev. Dr. C.
A, Munroe, of Hickory, and Rev. S.
M. Rankin, of Greensboro. The fu

Charles S. Gilmer, brothers of the
deceased; Mr. William E. Phipps,
Mrs. Joseph S. Phipps, Mr. John It.
Stewart, and Rev. Charles H. Phipps,
or Asheboro.
J Mr. Gilmer was 56 years old and
la. native of the Alamance church
i community, being a son of the late
Joseph XV. and Nancy McLean Gil

j after spending a year in the Union

entered the ministry in 1900. He was
pastor of churches in Rowan coun
,ty for four years, being called from

came - pastor of- 1 te ;i, Presbyterian,
church in Mt. Airy in January, 1908
j Mr. Gilmer was one of the 30 men
the Alamance congregation has given
to the ministry of the Presbyterian
church, and no one has reflected
more honor upon the mother church
j than he. He was a man of great
' spirituality - a deeD student and a
preacher of force. He was greatly
beloved as a pastor and always held
a position of leadership in the com
munity in which he resided. He was
one of the strong men of Orange
Presbytery and "will be greatly miss
ed by 1 s brethren of the ministry,
all of whom looked upon him as a w:s
and safe counsellor. It is said that
perhaps the best sermon ever preach
ed on the doctrine of the persever
ance of the saints within the bounds
! of Orange Presbytery was deliver
ed by Mr. Gilmer about two years
ago.
While residing in Morganton Mr.
Gilmer was married to Miss Lollie
Avery, who survives him. No chil
dren were born of this union. His
surviving brothers are Mr. Robert A.
Gilmer, of this city, and Dr. Charles
S. Gilmer, of Clay township. He was
a brother of the late ex-Sheriff J.

Will be Distributed Among Farmers

that .the best grain raised in Guil
ford county the past season is avail
able for seed purposes to farmersr
who will call at his office on West
Sycamore street. Mr. Daniel has
about 50 bushels of wheat and oat
seed and it is his purpose to give
each Guilford county farmer who ap
plies a half bushel as long as the
supply lasts. The grain was on ex
hibition at the fair, the exhibitors
agreeing previous to its display that
it should be forfeited" to the fair as
sociation that it might be distributed
among the farmers of the county
for planting purposes.
Those who call and receive an al
lotment of the grain must agree to
plant it and to make an exhibit of
the yield at next year's fair. In this
manner Secretary Daniel hopes to
arouse considerable interest in the
grain display and to also be abte to
distribute among the farmers of the
county the very best seed available.
The half bushel will plant about
half an acre, and every one receiv
ing seed must agree to use it on
his own farm.
Secretary Daniel also has a quan
tity of corn, turnip and other seed
which he will distribute under the
same plan. In making the distribu
tion he will observe the "first come,
firs served" principle.
Another Murder in Greensboro.
Fred Stanfield, colorjed, is in jail
charged with the murder of Will
Hatchett, colored, Saturday night.
The killing took place on Sampson

some trivial matter. Hatchett was
shot through the heart and Stanfield
received a bullet wound in his left
arm, just below the elbow. After the
shooting Stanfield. left the scene, but
was arrested several hours later
the home of his parents.
Stanfield was given a hearing in
Municipal court Tuesday and held for
the grand jury of the December term
of Superior court under a bond of
$750, Judge Brown considering the
evidence, insufficient to demand a
heavier bond. Relatives of the pris
oner are endeavoring to raise the
amount of the bond.
Senator Robert M. ItaFollette, of
Wisconsin, wiir-geliver a lecture in
Raleigh, next Tuesday night; '
TOBACCO SALES AND PRICES.
The tobacco crop being the princi
pal money, crop of this section, we
are all more or less interested in it,
therefore, when one mentions tobac
co, he sounds a familiar note that in
terests a great many people in this
section of North Carolina.
The crop this year i3 a large cne
and of good quality, and the price3
are splendid. The tobacco sales on
the Greensboro market have been the
largest this season they have ever
been in the history of the market, and
the writer was on the sale yesterday,
Wednesday, October 22, and does not
hesitate to say that tobacco was high
er in Greensboro than he has ever
seen it before in his' life on any mar-,
ket. About four weeks ago the sales
were so large on Saturday that they
did not get around until nearly noon
on Monday, yet the prices have held
up all the time, with an advancing
tendency.
The writer was raised on a tobacco
farm and naturally likes to see tobac
co growers get everything that is
coming to them, and with the large
crops and high prices, the farmer is
now having his feast, which the writer
is delighted to see.
v The farmer has never had a better
time than now, yet theres is only a
small proportion of them laying aside
money in the Savings Bank for future
usefulness.
Pharaoh had his Joseph, who '.vas
the world's first and greatest econo
mist, having laid by enough corn in
seven years to last the whole of Egypt
seven more years. (See Genesis 41.)
This was, however, done during
good crop years, when no one except
Joseph could see the need of it. Of
course when the bad crop years came,
any fool could see the wisdom of
Joseph.
Don't you think it would be a wise
thing for you to add something to
your Savings Bank account every
time you sell a load of tobacco? If
you are among those who have no
savings accounts, don't wait another
day, but start right now with the
Home Savings Bank, and add some
thing every chance. add 4 per
cent, interest, compounded quarterly.
Your old friend.

A planter who grows
cotton stated recently
that he was not interest
ed in any other crop, as
on his plantation he grew
nothing but cotton. That
planter was very short
sighted because when he
sold his cotton he bought
corn for his live stock,
wheat in the shape r of
flour for his larder, wool
in the shape of clothing
for his family, etc. He
really should be as much
interested in the corn
crop, the wheat crop, and
the wool crop as he was
in the cotton crop.
Every farmer is inter
ested in every crop pro
duced, in the total pro
duction and in the rela
tive values.
