NORTH CAROLINA AGRICULTURAL AND The North Carolina Agrlcul-. tural and Mechanical College, at Raleigh can boast of but twenty-three years of life, but In that time it has certainly accomplished wonders. It was opened in September, 1889, with one building and there were only seventy-six students the first year, now. there are twenty-one buildings, seventy one teachers and experiment workers, and 619 students. In the student body twenty-five states have been represented, and if there were room the number of students would be be doubled in a year. The legislature is taking more than liberal view of the college and appropriates annually $80,000 for its maintenance atd from $15,000 to $50,000 for new buildings, the construction ap propriation this year being $30,000. From the United States the college receives $32,000. The amount of new build ings has been, during the past twelv months gratify ingly great, and the photographs tell the story: The engineering building, erected at a cost of $56,000, without equipment, and now fully equipped, is a model of its kind. The textile building is built in the style of a modern cotton mill, and is covered with Boston ivy which is being used on all the other buildings, and which will soon cover them and add great ly to their beauty. The animal husbandry build ing, completed in July, cost $30,000, with its equipment. What is known as the "1911 dormitory" is a type of others which are to be built, and ac commodate 250 students. The agricultural building differs from all the others in that it was built by the state agri cultural department and paid for out of the funds of the latter, its cost being $83,000. The dining hall, now under construction and to be ready for use when the next term beglna, in September, seats 800 students Next to it the Y. M. C. A. building, the gift of Mr. Rocke feilen, the alumni, students and the people of Raleigh, is under construc tion and will be completed in De cember. It ranks among the most attractive and well-arranged Y. M. C. A, buildings at any college. President D. H. Hill, of the col lege, was asked what plans were be- E Nominated Electoral Ticketand Planned Dr. Cy Thompson As Candidate For Governor (Special to The Times.) Greensboro, Sept. 4. The first North Carolina progressive conven tion held here yesterday named a full state electoral ticket and by un animbus vote selected Dr. Cyrus Thompson, of Onslow county, as its candidate for governor. The session lasted four hours and generally speaking was harmonious, the pre vious plans of the leaders going through without a hitch. Local op tion brought out the only difference in opinion. Summed up the conven tion heard a number of speeches, adopted a platform which calls for certain reforms In state and national goverf ment and which reiterates the policies of Roosevelt as set forth in his national confession of faith, named a full state electoral ticket, a gubernatorial candidate, a state executive committee and ordered the committee to meet in Greensboro j next Tuesday. The matter of nam ing a full state ticket was made optional with the state committee, though th egeneral idea was that the full force of the new party would be put bfhlnd the electoral and guber natorial ticket. Provisional Chair man James N. Williamson called the convention to order at 2:15 and at 6:40 it was declared adjourned sine die. :: Only one question aroused a dis agreement for a while, that being the Injection of a plank calling for local option. This brought forth a storm of protest and was also the subject of a minority report from the committee on platform. Jake F. Newell and hlB younger brother championed the local option section, while a score took the floor in op position, avong them being James N. Williamson, Jr., Z. I. and Z. V. Walser, J. M. Mewborne and H. J. Falson. The discussion was reach ing heated proportions when Mr. Falson offered a resolution provid ing that the local option plank be al lowed to remain with the addition of an amendment which provided ''with the understanding; that this section in no way applies to liquor." This resolution and amendment was heartily received and adopted with the result that the paltform as orig . lnally reported was immediately adopted unanimously. Other work ot the convention was speedily . accomplished, Chairman Williamson gaining recognition pf the 'residing officer and placing In nomination the following electoral ticket Selectors at large: Iredell Meares, of Wilmington, and Jake F.

Mr. Petree asked that his name he withdrawn and that Janies Voss,, of Rural Hall, be named in his stead as the fifth district elector. The request was granted and upon a seconding motion the nominations made by Mr. Williamson were adopted by un animous vote. I)r. Thompson Xoiiiinated. Jake F. Newell, of Mecklenburg, stepped to the front, flashing a red bandana. .The effect, was similar. to that of a red flag flaunted before a bull, the boys giving the most en thusiastic yell of the day. liriofiy. though eloquently, Mr. Newili placed in nomination "that g'-and old man from Onslow, Dr. Cyras Thompson, for governor." The sec onding speech was made by J. M. Mewborne, of Kipstoii, who referred to Dr. Thompson as the "Game Oek little fighter from Onslow." "Question, question." .: sounded voices fror the hall and when T:'f siding Chairmah Meares put tlie queston the nomination was -'made with a whoop. H. J. Faison wante d Zeb Vance Walser nominated lor lieutenant governor, but was ruled out of order, this matter already having been left to tho state com mittee. "We wil', now go into the election of a state committer," announced Presiding Chairman Mean's. Chair man Williamson offered a prepare 1 list of committeemen, which was approved- ' by the roveniion unani mously.

Celebrateil LnlMir Day With a Har - Iief-ue' Held at Liikewootl Pake- (Special to The Times.) Durham, Sept. ".Members of the local Typographical Virion, together wiih many of their friends, met at La'Uewood park yesterday afternoon and enjoved a barbecue and -'brims-wiel; stew tliat has seldom been equalled before. There was about forty people present and each and every one enjoyed themselves thor oughly. There was plenty of barbe cue and stew, and no one left until the inner man had been satisfied. The crowd seated themselves at the table and were put to no further trouble and it was only necessary to call for what one wanted and straightway it was brought. The afternoon paper went to press at 1 o'clock in order that all em ployes of that paper could be present. The forces of both papers together with the forces from the job shops, were out in full, and all agreed that no lalior day celebration had ever equaled the occasion of yesterday. Jhe crowd bygan' ' gathering at 3 Oilock ami dinner was served at I ;3, Much of the time was taken up by speech making, and some good talks were heard. The general trend being for the good of the union, and the welfare of the printers. First to spfak was Mr. t'rowson, editor of the Sun. In a few well chosen words he told those gathered of the pleas ure it-was to be with them, to meet them with a hearty handshake and to let them know that the employ ers wore on even footing with them and seekirjg to respect their rights and privileges. His talk was greet ed with a great deal of applause. His sieech was followed by a few re marks from Mr. Keener, city editor of the same paper and those listen ing -were delighted with the wit , he offered. Mr, C. F. Koonce, of Raleigh, was the principal speaker of the after noon. Mr. Koonce 1r secretary of the Typographical 1'nion of Raleigh and his experience with printers and newspaper offices Is by no means limited. He told those present of the freatness of the union, the pood it was doing and the greater good that was to follow from united labor." It - is not the employe against the employer, said Mr. Koonce, but a harmonious fueling existing between them, the rights of both standing out in prominence. All speakers were, journeymen' printers and they know just what the printers are up against. Mr.i Koonce told those present of the conditions that exist ed at. the Cleveland convention dar ing the month of August. There was 3.600 present and much good came of this convention, said Mr. Koonce. The next convention will be held in Nashville, Tenn., where it Is claimed that only the original barbecue and brunswlck Btew can he had, but this statement was doubted by all who partook of the meats prepared by Mr George Lougee yesterday after noon. " 1 ' - Growing Corn In Spite of the Drouth. The summers of 1911 and 1912 nave been extremely hard . on the North Carolina farmers, especially, those who live In the piedmont sec tlon. This part of the state has its corn crop cut short by the drouth nearly every year but the last two years have been especially severe In this section of the stte there MECHANICAL COLLEGE ing the place of the one first estab lished, is one of the finest in the state. This college does a great deal of demonstration work and has at present in the field a crew of its experts manning a train of Ave spe cial cars, sent out for a two months' tour of eastern North Carolina by the Atlantic Coast Line Railway. The graduates of this college are widely scattered and ovor thirty of them are in tfte Philippines, while half a dozen or more are professnrs in colleges in other state. Of (he positively must be some method found by which corn may be grown in sp'.te of this inevitable mid-sum mer drouth. . We feel that this method of corn growing in spite of the drouth has been discovered and that it 'only awaits careful, diligent, .application in order to 'bring , success. The method contains Aiut four funda mental factors. These are deep plowing, which enable the soil to make up la r-e amounts of moisture in the winter and early spring. Second, the, Incorporation ; of organjc matter , iu large amounts. This organic matter may be stable manure or green manure, cut With a dik harrow before being plowed under and thoroughly incorporated with the soli with the disc after wards. This addition of organic matter Is a powerful aid. in retain ing the moisture absorbed by the deeply lowed soil, holding it until the season is wel advanced even though the drouth may set in early. Third, deep planting. It is very- essential that the farmers in this section of the state plant their corn deep below the surface; but, of course, cover it shallow, Last spring a number of farmers carried out every essential detail for the pro duction of a good corn crop with the exception of planting the com deeply. The ground was moist un til the middle of May. This shallow planted corn developed its root sys tem only on surface where moisture conditions were just right. These moisture conditions remained pust right until the last of May or the first of June, when, in many cases, the corn planted was booting for tassel. A,t this stage of the growth of the plant, the root system has nearly completed its development and from this time on little ex tension of the corn roots may be expected as its energies are thence forth occupied in producing the ear. Moisture conditions being, optimum up until this period .of the growth of the plant, the great bulk of the roots were formed ' and remained in the 'first four inches of the soil. Now, the annual drouth set in. In jnany cases shallow cultivation was practised faithfully and it seemed that everything was done to offset the effects of the drouth but in vain. The first six Inches of soil gradually dried up, thus leaving the corn, plants standing nigh and dry in a bed of dust or dry dirt. Now, had the corn been planted five or six or even seven Inches be low the surface of the soil and covered shallow, the direful effects of the drouth w6M have been, to great extent, eliminated. The root system would have started deep In the ground and In contact with more lasting moisture . conditions which would have aided Immensely In combatting the drouth; . To sum up, deep plowing, the In corporation of large amounts ot some, cheap form of 'organic mat ter, preferrably green manure, deep planting and cultivation, which must be frequent, shallow .and late, will so far as moisture conditions are concerned, produce a, crop of corn in the face of any drouth that has ever come in North Carolina. We do not pretend that the above or any other method will entirely offset the effects Of an unusually dry season, but we do know that this Is the best method so far dis covered, for, (rowing a. fair crop of mtin,im4j Hull. -Dormitorv. older "buildings all are being torn down and replaced by larger and handsomer ones, except the main building, which marks the beginning of this institution.
