R. Hudson, in charge of farm demon stration work for the State College . of Agriculture. The meeting will be under the auspices of the Negro Farmers' Con gress and a program including lec tures and speeches by some of the leading farm educators of the state has been prepared. The A. & T. Col lege has agreed to furnish free lod ings to all who make reservations and to. serve meals at the nominal cost of 25 cents each, j In addition to the speaking pro gram during the day there will be inspirational meetings on the two evenings. Another feature will be a ccrn show with exhibits placed on the stage of the auditorium in the main building. Judging contests will be held and over $100 in premiums has been offered in this competition. Mr. Hudson states that a number of other demonstrations have been ar ranged for. These meetings,, through the Ne gro Farmers' Congress were begun and largely conducted through the efforts of the Negro farm demon stration work. Two such are held each year, one during- winter at othe A. & T. College and the other in tension division, continues unabat-ed m many counties even alter two and three carloads have been ordered and distributed by farm agents. Recently when O. H.

Mr. Phillips says, "Figuring the dynamite at wholesale rates there was a saving to farmers of this coun ty of $3,600 on the one car alone and only 15,000 pounds was for the county. We ordered 20,000 but 3, 000 pounds went into Cabarrus coun ty and 2,000 into Anson. We also made arrangements with a local hardware store and farmers were able to secure their fuse at 70 cents per hundred feet and caps at $1.30 per box of one hundred. "We have had many encouraging reports from those who have used the material. They say it gives fine re sults and some men said that they had in.

Wolf Division of Plant Diseases, State College of Agricul ture) As the result of several years' experimentation, it is found that the most destructive leaf diseases of to bacco are preventable. Such dis- eases as wiiaiire, angular leais pot, mosaic and frogeye are infec tious and have their origin in the plant bed. It seems reasonable, therefore, to expect that prevent able measures should be centered in the proper preparation of the plant bed with a view of produc ing disease-free plants for setting In the field. If tobacco growers can be made to appreciate the fact that there are several sources of infection in the plant bed, it will be evident to them that account must be taken of all of these sources if satisfactory re sults are to be secured. Infection in the plant bed may become estab lished by any one of the following- means: 1. The use of contaminated seed from infected pods. 2. The use of clothes or covers that have been used on infected beds in previous years. .".

Treat seed by soaking them in disinfectant for exactly ten minutes Kither formaldehyde (one tablespoon ful to a pint of water) or corrosive sublimate (one part to 1000 parts of water) is equally effective as a disinfectant.

Announcement of a reduction in the prices of all Dodge Brothers Pas senger Cars was received today by H. G. Avant, of Whiteville, local Dodge Brothers dealer. The new prices were effective Monday, Dec. 1st. The reductions are especially sharp on the closed types. The Type A. Sedan, for example on which the list price was formerly $1,385, is now $1,245. The Type B. Sedan, which formerly sold for $1,250, f.o.b., De troit, is now listed at $1,095. There is also a reduction from $1,035 to $995 in the list price of the Busi ness Coupe. Dodge Brothers Roads ter, under the new price, will sell for $855 and the Touring Car for $885. The announcement from Dodge Brothers also carried the information that balloon tires are standard equip ment on all passenger cars. New prices on Special Type cars are as follows: Special Roadster $ 955.00 Special' Touring 985.00 Special B Coupe 1,095.00 Special B Sedan 1,195.00 Special A Sedan 13.30. 00 The special types carry such extra equipment as nickeled radiator shell, motometer. front and rear bumpers, body stripe, steel disc wheels, scuff plates, cowl lights and five balloon tires. Announcement of these reductions provoked endless discussion through out, the entire industry. The year 1924 has been the most successful in Dodge Brothers history and it is now evident that the factory is de termined to establish an even more enviable record in 1925. Obviously, the market for Dodge Brothers Motor cars will be broadened immeasurably by the lower prices, particularly the closed car types. Substantial improvements in the appearance, riding comfort and other important details of construction and design, plus the car's long-standing reputation for dependable perform ance, were responsible for the great ly accelerated demand during 1924. For a number of months production was maintained consistently at a rate close to 1000 cars per day. Prices of Dodge Brothers Commer cial Cars and Chasses are not affect ed by the reductions. SLOGAN OF THE POSTOFFICE J SHORT COURSES BEGIN MAIL. tAKLI IS i ULt i ilj Last year, through the generous cooperation of the press, the movies and other i advertising me diums, Christmas mails were induc ed to dispatch their Yuletide pres ents earlier in the month than ever before in the history of the institu tion of gift exchanging in the holi day season. As a result, the spectacle of the last minute rush of former years, with its attendant heart-breaking la bor on the part of wearied and nerve worn store clerks and postal em ployes, was avoided. This year Postmaster General New and First Assistant Postmas ter General John H. Bartlett have determined to make an even better record and to banish for all time the sufferings undergone in past years by those engaged in the sale or transportation of gifts. They hope to make "Shop Early" and "Mail Early" a habit with the American people. Mailing early does not mean De cember 1, or before, but if everyone i pvdtry, ' could get their holiday tokens in the f mail between December 10 and December 20, the postoffice could not ask more.

C, Star) "One drink of alcohol spirits, no matter how small, intox icates and incapacitates a man from driving an automobile with safety to the public." This was the ruling of Judge James P. Gorter, chief of the city courts, in finding Daniel Burke, who ran over and killed Walter Fihnore, 11 years old, guilty of manslaughter. Testi mony was to the effect that Burke had taken two drinks of blackberry wine before starting out for an automobile ride. "When a man operates an auto mobile, especially through traf fic, and where children are play ing," the court said, "he should have control of all his faculties. When a man has had a drink it is apt to impair his faculties. When it is found that this im pairment, brought about by li enor, is the proximate cause of the accident, then I shall con sider the traverser intoxicated in fact and shall find him guilty. "In my opinion, there is no thing more dangerous than a per son attempting to operate an automobile while under the in fluence of liquor. Driving a car requires that every nerve and every fiber of the body be on the alert to meet any contin gency that may arise. The brakes must be applied at the slightest warning, and the steer ing wheel turned an almost im perceptible degree. This calls for the perfect co-ordination of every faculty. "When a man has taken a drink he does not have the per fect coordination that is neces sary. ,.A couple of cocktails is enough, I believe, to make it dangerous for a man to drive his car home."
