The 'Randolph A RANDOLPH COUNTY PAPER FOR RANDOLPH COUNTY PEOPLE. VOL. 7. m. 11. ASHEBORO, N. C, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 21, 1911. ONE DOLLAR A YEAR The Laymen's Missionary Movement Convention To Be Held in the Baptist Church, Asheboro September, 28 and 29, 1911. An Appeal To Laymen To the members of the various denominations of the Church of J esus Christ in Randolph county: Brethern: This is to remind you of the County Convention of the Laymen's Missionary Move ment to be held in Asheboro on Thursday and Friday, September 28, 29. Each church organiza tion in the county (there are about 125) is asked to appoint at least two delegates to this con vention. For the well-being of each organization, for the cause of Jesus Christ, we urge upon you that no church be without representation. The Laymen's Missionary Movement was initiated a few years ago when the business men of our churches, the ball headed men of affairs, began to awake to a realization of the fact that when Jerus Christ said to his de ciples: Go ye into ALL the world and preach the Gospel to every creature. He was speaking to every one who should believe in His Name. The day has passed when Missions are relegated to a few ministers and the various Ladies' Missionary Societies; for headed by some of America's for most business men and with the outpouring of God's blessing up on their efforts, this Laymen's Movement has spread rapidly from ocean to ocean, from Can adian snows to the Gulf of Mexi co, Nor is that all, for it has covered the oceans and reached England, Europe and Australia. The business men today are look ing upon Missions as their own obligation, and are taking up this duty in a business like way. The Church is yet but waking, however, and the call comes to every man to put his shoulder to the task and take the world for Jesus Christ. Since the State Convention held some time ago in Greensboro the effort is being made to reach each county individually. The Randolph County Convention will be held, as said, on September 28, 29. Strong speakers have been secured from this state and elsewhere and the meeti n g s promise to be an education and an inspiration to those who can attend. Brethern, the time is short. If services are not to be held next Sunday in your church we would suggest that the pastor or some other officer or officers of the church appoint immediately a strong delegation. It would be well if each delegate notify Sec retary J. M. Scarboro, Asheboro, that we may know for how many to provide homes. Whether you so inform us before hand or not, please report immediately to Con vention heab quarters when you arrive. The first session will convene on Thursday at four o'clock. ; Signed: T. M.

Friday of this place was a victim to a malicious and horrible death friday night, the facts of which have just been learned. The child and a 4-year-old brother were playing in the kitchen while the mother was ironing in an adjoining room. The boy secur ed a small stick and lighted it at the stove and then applied it to the little child's clothing. The little girl was burned from the waistband to the head and was a terrible sight. In the child's terror inhaled the flames which resulted in death. The boy, when asked why he set fire to his sister's clothing stated, "Just cause," The boy seems to have a mania for burning things, hav ing applied a torch to the child's hair one day last winter and previously had set fire to the window curtains. WINTER COVER CROPS. Every farmer owes it to him self, to his family and to posterity to take the best care of his land that he possibly can; to maintain its fertility and to keep it from washing away. Investigators", whether scientists or practical farmers, have found that winter cover crops of any kind prevent land, in a larg meas ure, from washing, and when turned under the following spring make it more productive than if no crop had grown on it. An experiment covering a number of years, in one of the North Western ststes, showed that more plant food was lost from the land during the months when no crops were grown on it than was taken off in the regular summer crops. If this was true in that state where they have long and cold winters when leach ing is impossible for weeks at a time, how much more would it be true in North Carolina with her open winters when plant food can be leached from our soils almost any week during our winter months. A ton of green rye contains, according to good authorities, about 66 pounds nitrogen, 3 pounds phosphoric acid, and 14.6 pounds potash. A ton of green wheat contains 10.8 pounds ni trogen, 3 pounds phosphoric acid, and 14 pounds potash.' Green oats contain just a little less plant food than does green wheat. A ton of green crimson clover con tains 8.6 pounds nitrogen, 2.6 phosporic acid, and 9.8 pounds potash. Red clover, Bur clover and the vetches contain , nK-re plant food in their green state than crimson clover does.. The wheat and rye mentioned above was probably grown on fertile land which explains their high percentage of nitrogen, for it is an established fact that crops grown on rich land contain more nitrogen than when grown on poor land. For that reason rain grow on rich land has a higher feeding value than that grown on poor land. It may be well for us to remember this when grow ing grain for our own feeding purposes. Rye, wheat and oats take in trogen from the soil and store it in the plant, thus saving much of this costly-element of plant food that would otherwise be leached from the land by our winter rains The stools or bunches and their roots and leaves retard the flow of water and act as brakes which will prevent to a large degree the washing of our rolling lands. The clovers save the land from washing in the same way and in addition to this are beneficial by being able to take nitrogen from the air through the agency of bacteria which adds to the fer tility of the soil. But to grow these latter crops successfully the soil must contain the bacteria peculiar to the particular corp grown. It has been the experience of many of our farmers that any crop grown after a winter-cover crop, when turned under at the proper time in the spring, and disked well before v,and after turning, will produce a great deal more, often as much as 50 more, than if no winter-cover crop had been grown. The seed for a cover crop will cost from one to five dollars an acre accord ing to kind and quantity of seed used. This should save to the soil and add to the next year's crop more than twice the cost of the cover crop. SowT at the rate of 15 to 20 pounds crimsonclover seed per acre and cover lightly with har- A Cutting Affray Arthur Bobbins slashed with knife will rcover Coloin Davis bound for court Late Sunday night while re turning from West Chapel, a mile and a half west of Asheboro, Arthur Robbins and Calvin Davidson and probably others met in combat and during the mixup Robbins was badly cut on the neck, back, breast and abdomen and almost bled to death before a sugeon could be procur ed. Several stitches were nec essary to close up the mot seri ous wond , one j ust blow the short ribs. The first reports sent cut were to the effect that Robbins was in a dying condition, but this proved to be overdrawn as the patient is now doing well and will probably be out in a few days. On Monday evening, Davidson submitted and gave bond for his appearance at court. As to the cause of the unfortu nate affair, the public knows but little as reports are conflicting. It is said Davidson acted in self defense. However the case will be aired at the next term of superior court. Seagrove Rt 1. Mrs. H. F. Way visited Mrs. H. T. Wilson one day last week.

Sow from 20 to 30 pounds of vetch per acre if sown with small grain, and if sown alone put from 40 to 50 pounds per acre. Rye should be sown at the rate of one to one and a half bushels per acre. An application of manure, or from 200 to 500 pounds acid phosphate, per acre and 25 to 50 pounds muriate of potash on fcandy or gray land, will be help ful to the clovers ond vetches. For rye or other small grain it may be better to add 2 nitorgen to the above. It is now time to commence putting these crops in. When put in cotton fields it is better to sow immediately after the pick ers, as in that way no cotton will be knocked out in covering the seed. Put in the crops that will suc ceed best in your locality and ex periment with other crops in a small way until you are assured they will make satisfactory growth on your land and under your conditions.

C, September 17, The Southern Railway is endeavoring to build up the live stock industry throughout the South, having established a special department for this work, and is now inaugurating a move ment for the organization of local live stock associations in every county along its lines in Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, South Carolina, North Carolina, Virginia, Tennesse, and Kentucy. The organization of such local associations will prove of im mense value to live stock grow ers. They will stimulate pro gress as they give an oppotunity for exchange of ideas and the distribution of good breeds and the association exhibits and auction sales pave the way for excellent county fairs and live stock shows. The live stock department of the Southern Railway is in charge of Mr. F. L. Word, Live Stock Agent, who has offices in Atlanta. For the next few months he will devote especial attention to the formation of county live stock associations and will be glad to co-operate with live stock men in any county along the Southern Railway. A letter addressed to Mr. Word will bring a prompt reply and will secure his active interest. He will be glad to hear from those who may wish infor mation as to the advantages of local association or the best methods to adopt in organizing them. THE OCTOBER WOMAN'S HOME COMPANION The October Woman's Home Companion contains the first chapter of a new serial, "The Poor Lady," by Mary E. Wilkins Freeman. It is a story of modern American life, and is chiefly con cerned with two women one, an ambitious and unscrupulous wife; the other, fine, high-minded and womanly. In the same number a well known financial authority writes an article of interest and impor tance to every woman. He des cribes the snares set by dishonest business oncerns to catch women investors, and tells many stories of real life illustrating his points. Other notable articles are: "Ex periments in Spending," "The Girlhood of Madame Schumann Heink," "The Moving-picture Show," "Money making at Home," and "Women Planters of America." Splendid fiction is furnished by Juliet Wilber Tompkin3, Julia Truitt Bishop, Ernest Poole and Barr Moses. On the practical side the Octo ber Companion is of special value. Its great fashion and household departments are unusually full of useful suggestions and enter taining reading. VALUABLE REAL ESTATE CHANGED HANDS. A change in ownership of one of the best parcels of real estate in this city was made last week, when the residence property now occupied by R. R. Ross pass ed into the possession of C. C. Cranford. The lot borders on Sunset Ave. and Church Sts. and therefore is located in the heart of the business and residence sec tion of Asheboro and on it is a handsome two story dwelling and the large new barn .erected by Mr. Ross less than two years ago. The .price paid by Mr. Cranford was $7,500. Negro Meeting Me up By Toughs Yadkin College, Sept., 18 At the annual big camp meeting of the colored Baptists here yester day, a riot was started by a lot of drunken rowdies which broke up the meeting and sveral casli ties resulted. Nearly two thousand negroes from Davidson, Dave and Forsyth county were present. The "rough house" startel immed ateiy after dinner and cleared the house. The minister escaped through a window. Two Lexington ne groes were badly wounded. Three horses, belonging to a local livery man, were shot, one being seri ously hurt. Two negroes, "Poss" Scott and John Campell, did the shooting. George Welborn, the leading bar ber, of Lexington, attempted the role of peacemakier and barely escaped with his life by makin a record run ANEW EXPLOSIVE Cambridge, Mass. Sept. 13. After eleven years of experi ments B. F. B. Wright, former professor of chemistry at Har vard, has per fected a powder that is three times as powerful as dynamite. It is safe for a child to play with, according to the professor. To demonstrate the saf ty of powder, Prof. Wright put two ounces of it on a piece of card board and touched a match to it. It immediately flamed, but there was no explosion. . Prof. Wright said he dropped a bag of it out of a six story window to the ground but no explosion followed. A test of its blasting power was also made at the Nawn ledge, Jamoics Plain. Prof Wright said the powder will do away with danger of explosions on warships and will prevent gun barrels from exploding. "One-third of the quantity us ed for blasting is equal to any other powder, includin dynamite. A great advantage the new ex plosive has over dynamite is that it can be made by any one who has the formula, and can be used fifteen minutes later, while dyna mite has to be kept at least ninety days. It doesn't freeze like dpnamite." Ramseur. Rev. Wr. Nance is assisting the pastor Mr. Way in a series of meeting in the Holiness church this week. Postmaster, G. M.
