Reports that are well authenticated but not official to the effect that con struction work on the immense alumi num enterprises at Badin, in Stan'y County, will bo resumed are current. This renewal of activity, it is stated, will mean an immediate demand for about 3,000 laborers. The story of the development at Whitney and Badin is a familiar one to North Carolina. Prior to the out break of the European war a company of French capitalists were directing work. Conditions i to October 18th was 5,713,347 bales. $126.00. Many statistical authorities claim that Alfalfa is a splendid crop and our this is 0-per cent of the entire crop of farmers should take a greater interest this year.

DEATH OF S. E. FE3REE IN DECEMBER A program of "Safe Farming" for the' south is outlined in a circular which the United States department of agriculture has sent to bankers, business men and farmers in the cot Jto,tat.- in the south, it has been said, has been one of the lean years and fat years. Short crops and high prices have al 'most invariably been followed by big crops and low prices and, in conse auence, the farmer has experienced 'much distress. The increased atten tion which has recently been given to i supporting the people upon the land has already resulted in much good, but there is some danger, it is pointed out, Ithat, with the price of cotton rising, (there will be a tendency for farmers (to return to the old system of gamb jing on cotton. If the people of the j south produced their own living, the circular points out, it would steady the whole system and keep the boat from j rocking. The safety measures recon .mended are as follows: I First: Produce a home garden for every family on the farm, the year round, paying special attention to a plot of Irish or sweet potatoes suffi cient to supply the family with food of this character. Where feasible, hiva a patch of sorghum or other cane to produce syrup for the family. Second: Produce the corn neces sary to support all of the people on the farm and the live stock, with absolute safety. Third: Producethe necessary oats and other small grain to supplement the corn or food. Pay attention to winter grazing. inate Adult Illiteracy" was a good f ea. ture for the occasion. i The speaker was clear and forcible f and let it be known in no uncertain terms that the order was behind the movement of night schools. The fact that 16 per cent, of the adult popula tion of the State could not read or write should arouse all the people to increase their efforts in aidinsr eood nen and women to learn to read and write. .The Junior Order stands first for the unstinted support of our pub lic schools and along with it to help illiterate adults in securing an educa tion, v - Following the address of State Lec turer Jones the teachers became en thused over the moonlight school pro position and more than half of the es timated 100 present agreed to teach a moonlight school during the month of November in their district.
