Major General Hoke was from Lincoln county and an uncle of Chief Jus tice W. A. Hoke, of the North Caro lina supreme comt. Major-General Ramseur also was from Lincoln county. Brigadier-General Grimes was from Pitt county and the father of the late secretary of state, J. Bryan Grimes. Brigadier-General Pender was a native of Edgecombe county. Morning Star. THE FARMER SHOULD VISIT HIS COUNTY AND STATE FAIRS (Editorial Farming) Every farmer should visit his county and state fairs. It is at these int-tmiom; that the thoughtful ol'serwr obtain a proper conception of tk' business, oi" farming and clear er ic-.vs of its possibilities. In the individual and county exhibits are seen l'ie voriely of crops that are grv. r. ; and how, and approved e quality lias been ir. incre". .-:!. He see tr'ken. in Ihv display who it..-tailed them with good seed Itural methods, ved and yields s the interest s by the farmers and discovers that liie.-e growers, as a rule, are making encouraging headway in fat r.iing where others, '.ess interest-, ed and i-.-ss enterprising, are stand ing till or lo-ing U'round. It is the sana.' v.iLh exhibits of poultry, cat tle, s.'-e-op and hogs. He sees the be ( v. iii trie premiums, and the reason.-, why. He probably knows that . ir.e breeds give larger returns for their care arid Teed than others, but this fact is clearly impressed on his moid as he views the exhibits, and he can better understand the im portance of applying 'he power of such knowledge in efforts to advance hi-; own interests. "Farmers should! teach each other," said an early i writer on successful farming. They do this at their fairs, but the farmer who stays at homo derives no bene fit from the lessons. And there are many other exhibits that may be seen and studied with profit, the most important being the displays of farm implements and machinery and barn and farm home e-juipmcnt. As stated in another ar ticle in this issue, "the farmer pays for the machinery he needs, even if he doe.-n't buy if." This is true, and it is also true that if he doesn't buy it he pays a big price for it. Therefore, it behooves the farmer to learn all he can about the time and labor-saving machinery that has been put on the market by manufacturers. Very few farmers are properly equipped, and this is not because the farmers of the country arc un able to buy the equipment, but hi cause they do not always appre ciate its value. Government sta tistics show that in 1923. out of each dollar spent by farmers eight cents v.ant for automobiles and three cents for farm equipment (all kinds.) That is to say, the greater part of the eight cents went for luxuries, while the three cents for farm equipment was spent to help make the crops to enable the farmer to buy these luxuries. This is not as it should be. The eight cents of the farmer's dollar should have been in vested in money-making and profit making machinery. This would have enabled the farmers to buy bet ter automobiles and to afford more luxuries than they now enjoy. Study the machinery exhibits made at the fairs, and the literature given out by dealers. And don't stop with dis plays of equipment used in the fields. Few farm homes are as well equipped as they might be, and the farm home should be made the best of all homes. For something near the cost of the lowest priced automobile and in some cases for a much smal ler outlay the home may have elec tric lights and running water and the same system will give light and water in all the farm buildings. Light and water systems will pro bably be found among the exhibits. If you have not installed a system i in your home, don't pass such ex- j hibits as if they were of little in terest and value. If the wife is along, give her time to help the ex hibitor explain their merits. She'll do this, and you may be surprised at her familiarity with all the details, as well as her knowledge of what it takes to make a house a home, and housework a pleasure instead of a wearisome, never-ending job.

McKimmon, in charge of the Women's Building, will have a lavish display of work being done by rural women. In the live stock department, indications point toward the greatest number of en tries yet recorded and Prof. R. S. Curtis states that at present this department is one of the most prom ising features of the fair. In the department of field crops which in cludes the individual farm, com munity and county exhibits, Prof. C. B. Williams states that a num ber of exhibits have already been en tered and that there will be keen competition. The poultry depart ment will also be filled as usual. Al len G. Oliver reports that the poul try club members are determined to carry off most of the prizes this year. There will be a large displaay of horticultural crops according to Prof. C. D. Matthews and the State Department of Agriculture will have its usual educational exhibit in the horticultural building. (By Phil Stern.) Cal you are cool But not very wise Those seeking election Don't antagonize. You have no love For those who toil Who, to earn a living Their hands must soil. The Boston police Will never forget And next November You'll regret. And make no mistake Its the safest bet That its back to the wood-pile for you. Cal that you're honest We all of us knew. But the gang you are with Is a pirate crew. They looted the oil To be used by our Navy. They all had their spoon Deep in the gravy. You vetoed the bonus, For our soldiers, that's true. Though tthey fought the good f i-lit. For me, and for you. And the Veteran Fund squandered. By your Friend-; too, So its back to the wood-pile for you. So back to the wood-pile, And there wield the ax. For refusing to lighten The load on our backs. The Postman's pay You refused to raise Though press and public Their work do praise. So the men in blue And the men in grey Xexxt Nov. will have their say And its back to the wood-pile for you. Judge Alfred J. Talley, of the General Sessions in New York City, while inducing into office 3 new jurist said, "One of the things that you will come to learn is that you have come on the bench of the greatest criminal court in the world, and the oldest court of any kind in the United States, at a time when this country is suffering under an in dictment which proclaims it to be the most lawless on earth. You will find that the United States must plead guilty to that indictment. Most of the desperate criminals are mere boys. You will be heartbroken at discovering that the vast majority of defendants are under nineteen or twenty years old. That is going to be your most distressing problems."
