county home and other officers of the
county held a family conference at

cooked pig. U is the desire of
Chairman .Mills and his commission
ers and other officers to have true
understanding of their duties so
that cooperation may be more ef
fective. The barbecue this after
noon was for the purpose of ex
changing ideas in the work that is
being and is to be done by the offi
cers. WATER SITUATION
Level of Walnut Creek Two Inches
Below Top of Dam.
Yesterday evening at six o'clock
the water level of Walnut creek at
the tiny dam at the intake of the
water plant, was two inches below
the top of the log which crowns
the dum and tho stream was barely
trickling below the dam, all the wa
ter going into the intake pipe, which
was full. The water was about
three-fourths clear and flowing
strongly. It was about five Inches
below the normal level. One of the
questions which is to come up will
be objection by the authorities at
the Central Hospital to the erection
of a dam at the point where there
is what is known as the "Dead Man's
Spring," some four hundred yards
above the intake, on the ground
that it would drown too much valu
able farm land, now nlanted in van
ous crops. But It is intimated there
may be objection to the erection of
a dam on the hospital property, at
a point something like half a mile
above the Intake, where the water
would only affect some forest.

The North Carolina Farmers
Raised More Home Pro
ducts Than Ever.
In a .bulletin soon to be issued by
the slate department "of agriculture
it is estimated that NorUi Carolina
people sen! hist year,'. 000,00(1
out. of the slate for foods and other
products thai could really have been
grown in this s.aie. In 1810 the
great total of over $5!, 000,000 was
sent out of the state. The gain last
year for the state was If 20,000,000.
Discussing this matter today Maj.
W." A. .Graham, .'commissioner of
agriculture,- said that the decrease
was due to the increased acreage in
corn and the general desire of farm
ers to grow as much of their own
supplies as possible. With continu
ed agitation by the farmers and their
friends, it is expected that the
amount of money sent tooLhcr states
will continue to decrease until the
sum is practically negligble. , Since
farm products have increased in
value, tin! gain is even more than
$20,000,000.

the charge that he wanted to be a
king. "I am accused of wanting to
rule the country with an iron hand,"
the Colonel said. "I always feel in

this statement don't know
kings or else they would not put it
down as my ambition. Other things
I would like to be, but not a king.
The constitutional monarch of the

I am not saying anything against
the job of king, but I Just would not
