For the first time this year the

inspectors from the State Depart

Federar Department of Agriculture.
In previous years there has been an
attempt to show the advantage of
grading and standardization not only
with peaches but other farm produce
alsoi This year a new line of work
has been pursued. Inspectors em
ployed by the state division of mar
kets are given thorough training in
the fundamentals and technique of
inspection work and then licensed by
the federal government. Upon in
spection of the cars, a certificate is
issued giving the grade of the pro

this certificate is taken as prima
facie evidence in both state and fed
eral courts. This inspection is ex
plained by the marketing workers as
an inspection made to determine or
certify to the grade and gives the
grower a basis on which to sell his
produce. Each grade has certain re
quirements and when a grade is cer
sofied as U. S. No. 1 grade, then
everyone knows that this certifica

most Northerners have regarding the

a revelation to us and we have re

for the State of North Carolina. It
is not going too far to say that some

which is being done by North oaro

representation in. the next Republican
National Convention from the Sooth,
composed largely of negro delegates,
has been greatly reduced.
In 1921 the Republican Committee
adopted a rule 4 providing for one
district delegate from each Congres
sional district that had cast 2,500
votes or more in the election 1920. It
is now figured that this apportion
ment would cut down the representa
tion from a largo number of southern
states. Under the new rule . Georgia
will lose 8 (a sad blow to Henry
Lincoln Johnson), Texas 6, Mississi
ppi 8, and South Carolina . Under
this rule northern representation to
the Republican Convention will be
increased by 74 delegates at large.
The new rule will lighten the bur
den of C Bascom Slemp in rounding
up the colored delegates; that is to
say, there will not be so many for
him to round up.
The slogan of the reactionary ice-
publicans, so far as the colored voter
is concerned, seems to be "Treat 'em
Rough."
