School House At
Ramseur Slightly
Damaged By Fire
(Continued from page 1)
Mr. and Mrs. Pat Brady, of Reids
ville, visited Mr. and Mrs. J. E.
Brady last week.
Miss Mattie Curtis, of Liberty, was
• visitor in Ramseur Sunday.
Dr. C. S. Tate and others attend
ed the State Fair this week at
Raleigh.
Mr. and Mrs. Cletus Slack, of High
Point, spent some time here the past
week.
Ramseur became excited again last
•njursday night when the fire alarm
was given and only speedy work sav
ed the Ramseur school building. No
great damage was done, one door was
burned and the floor partiaJy burn
el through in dressing room where
the boys who had been playing foot
ball had used for changing uniforms.
The flames are supposed to have
started from cigarettes. We have
only this comment to make: when
those in authority of the sports of
the school allow smoking in or around
the building at any time it leads us
to think that they are not placing
the proper value on the equipment
that has been provided at great cost
to the taxpayers for the training of
our boys and girls. Why not equip
the rooms with smoking sets and not
deprive the boys of the privilege of
a puff when they want it?
Mrs. R. W. Tuck, of Salisbury,
was guest of her daughter, Mrs.
A. Tippett, last Friday.
Mr. and Mrs. W. F. Owen, of

of St. Mark’s M. E. church and had
reared a family of nine respected
children, two of whom are now dead
The funeral was held at the St.
Marks M. E. church last Friday

white as well as colored people in
attendance. The funeral sermon was
delivered by Rev. C. A. Barrett, the
pastor. Others who spoke of the
life and work of the deceased were:
Mrs. C. C. Hubbard, L. F. Chambers,
Rev. W. iHL Brown and Rev. F. D.
Caldwell.
A spectacular “rain at stars” oc
curring Monday night in Paris start
led France. The star shower oc
curred in the northeastern sky, in the
region of the Big Bear constellation.
It looked like a gigantic fireworks
display from the streets. It also was
seen in Nancy and Bhefans. The
shower continued for more than an
hour.
A park-to-park highway is being
urged by Congressman Weaver who
stated at a meeting of several prom
inent men at Marion last week end,
that there was no mom worthy pro
ject before the state fijan this pro
posal. It was pointed out that North
Carolina is entWed to shout $80,000,
000 from fits Public Works Fund,
end said there id no doubt about
pnaonriiwr this amount if the mat
ter is handled right. The proposed
highway connecting the two narlu
along the mat of the Bine Ridgo
•will cost approximately $15,000,000.
PREPARE WHEAT LAND
IN ADVANCE OF SOWING
The best wheat farmers of North
Carolina do not seed their wheat on
freshly prepared land.
“A well-prepared seed bed is es
sential with wheat and assures good
stands and heavier yields. However
this seed bed ought to be prepared
sometime in advance and allowed to
settle. The land should be prepared
from 4 to 8 weeks before seeding
time, if possible,” says P. H. Kime,
agronomist for the North Carolina
Experiment Station. “A well pul
verized seed bed, rather loose on top
and compact but not hard' under
neath is most desirable. It will hold
moisture much better than a loose,
cloddy bed.”
Kime believes that disking is to
be preferred to deep plowing in pre
paring land for wheat. Especially
is this true where the land has been
in summer crops and cannot be plow
ed before October 1. Clover sods
and other lands not in summer crops
should be plowed during August or
early September and disked two or
three weeks later. This gives time
for the vegetation to rot and the
soil to settle.
Harrowing or light disking just
before sowing the wheat will pre
pare a good surface for seeding.
In many casee, plowing the land
for wheat is not desirable. Certain
loamy soils that were well broken
in the spring can often be put in
better shape for wheat by a heavy
disk than by the plow. Fields plant
ed to soybean* or cowpeas for hay,
or com for silage is an example of
this.
Fall plowing is necessary however,
where the land is covered with »
heavy growth of vegetation or the
soil is tight and oompact, Kime says.
These suggestions also apply to
barley, fall oats and rye, he says.
Colored Womb Dead
LuEUesn Serey, respected adored
woman of Oak Ridge, native of Ran
dolph county, died at hear bone Sun
day morning and was buried in the
St James church cemetery. Rev.
