North Carolina's Wheat Crop (From the University News Letter.) The 1915 crop of Winter wheat in North Carolina is 10,800,000 bushels, according to the Federal Bureau of Crop Estimates. It is three and a half million bushels more than the 1911 crop, and nearly twice our five-year average since the census year. Tha average yearly consumption of wheat in the south is around four bushels per person. Which means that this year we have wheat enough in North Carolina and some to spare.

L Governor Slaton indicated that he intended going away next week for an extended vacation. Those demonstrations a few days ago do not represent the sentiment of Atlanta, Fulton county or the State of Georgia," he added, "and while jn my vacation to no one will I say aught except in exaltation of the state. In public life we must be prepared to make any sacrifice in the fulfillment of our duty." No reference to the Frank case was made by Governor Harris in tha speech of thanks he made to his fel low citizens of Macon. He expressed hope, however, that we will hava no more trouble." During the inaugural cerenjonies at the capitol there were several tense moments. When Governor Slaton ap proached the new governor to deliver into his hands the grand seal of the state, a few hisses were heard from the crowded gallery. President G. Ogden Persons, of the state senate, rapped sharply with his gavel. The hisses continued and Governor Slaton paused. President Persons rapped again and the hissfng ceased. He warned the spectators that unless they were in order the galleries would be cleared. Instantly there was a tumult of ap plause. After it subsided Governor Slaton turned to the new governor and said, presenting the seal. "Governor Harris, I know that dur ing my term of office this great seal of state has never been dishonored." His words were greeted by another prolonged outburst of applause. Leaving the capitol the crowd surg ed in on the former governor and had to be held back' by the militia. Hisses and shouts greeted his ears. Some one yelled "traitor" and another call ed him "King of the Jews." Gover nor Slaton hurried to his automobile, accompanied by his successor. The crowd followed the car under the im pression that it was on the way to the terminal station, where the police had tc disperse the crowd that quickly gathered. The two governors did not go to the station. They were on their way to the hotel where the lun cheon to Governor Harris was given. Prussian Casualties 1,409,489.
