Sheriff Mitchell Attributes Calmness of This Ynletide Season to the Absence of Much Liquor. For the first time In 14 years no reports of disorder on Christmas day were filed at Sheriff E. M. Mitchells office Thursday. Sheriff Mitchell said yesterday that he had been connected with the office of the sheriff previous to his having been elected as high sheriff for nine years, and that during the entire time Christmas day had al ways brought some disturbance of some kind, until Thursday, Christmas day, 1919, which broke all precedents, and was quiet the entire day at the sheriff's office. This quiet Christmas duy in Bun combe county was attributed to two things by Sheriff Mitchell. He said the fact that the public is getting away from tho habit of drinking In toxicating liquors on Christmas day. had much to do with the saneucss In observing the day, and secondly that during the past two months nn inten sive campaign has been conducted in Buncombe by his deputies, the federal prohibition agents and all other of ficers of the law, to apprehend those having to do with the illicit manufac ture or sale or liquor. The sheriff and his deputies yes terday said they could hardly realize that Christmas day had passed be cause they had answered no calls to quell disorders, fights or shooting scrapes. In which liquor had figured, because heretofore such had happen ed every Christmas. s In speaking of the notable absence of liquor here on Christmas day, Sheriff Mitchell expressed the opinion that rapidly publlo sentiment is be ing formed against whiskey in any form or its use other than for me dicinal purposes. CHRISTMAS CHECK FOR $1,500 ARE RECEIVED Rev. Dr. and Mrs. R, P. Smith Will Visit This Summer In Holy Land Martha's First American Christinas. Among the many persons who re ceived Christmas presents on Christ mas day there is perhaps none who appreciate their gifts more than Rev. Dr. and Mrs. R. P. Smith and their granddaughter, Martha Held Bedln ger, age two years. Rev. Dr. and Mrs. Smith received two checks, one for $1,000 from their son. Dr. Bernard Smith, and the other1 for $600 from their daughter, Mrs.! Arthur Walker, of Charlotte. These i two presents were given to Mr. and Mrs. Smith to make a trip to the Holy lands this coming summer, and they will accompany their daugnter. Mm R.

In the three weeks' short course In agriculture at the state college of agriculture beginning January 8. in the farm crops courses, specimens of field crop plants and seeds will be studied. Staple crops, such ns corn, cotton, tobacco and small grains will be first briefly taken up; Their cul ture. Ineludins tha hent rotations, will I be discussed. Fitted Into good rota tions are many accessory crops which help to complete the rotation, dis tribute labor, furnish feed and pas turage and improve the soil. The selection, the adaptation and the man agement of these minor crons for the different types of farming over the state will nave ctuei consideration in the course In accessory crops. Manv tons nf feed ore annually shipped into North .Carolina. This practice should no longer be follow ed. - There are sufficient crops adapted to our climate, soil and correct types of farming to produce plenty of hay I and other forage, not only to supply 1.11 ill uiiilimia, uub lu 'iut iuo lui iiici feed-trade as well. The course on hay and forage will be devoted ex eluslvely" to the many crops that may be profitably grown for hay and for age in the state and to the compare tive advantages of these different crops not only as feeds but as crops that will fit in and strengthen the different farming types of the state. The prime object of the course will be to show how an abundance of high quality hay and forage may be cheap ly produced. The work in horticulture will be limited to two subjects, namely: fruit growing and vegetable gardening and these will be treated In as com plete and practical a way as the brev ity of the course will permit. In fruit growing, how to choose n place for a orchard, what varieties are best to plant, where to buy the trees, how to prepare the land, how to lay It off for planting, how to handle and plant the trees, and train and manage them for the most profitable results, are some of the topics which will be given by means of lectures and dem onstrations, Vegetable gardening win likewise be treated from the standpoint of the farmer who wants to know what, and when, and how, to grow more food crops at home. The plans for a gar den, the preparation of the land, the use of frames, how and when to sow seed, and transplanting and cultural methods employed in home garden work are included topics. No text books are to be employed, the instruction given to be in the form of expert advice, and demonstration with actual materials. One bit of advice in advance to those who take this course Is to be on hand at the first period supplied with a notebook and pencil and not to stop using them until the course is ended. The men who are to give -this course are thoroughly In earnest in their desire to give you the Informa tion, and you should be Just as ear nest in your desire to secure the in formation they can give you. Along with the above there will be a course in plant diseases and' their control which is designed to teach farmers attending the, short ' course how to recognlas .. the -more destrae tive diseases when, they appear and to give them the latest and best meth ods of control. Such important dis eases as the black rot of the grape, cotton anthracnose (boll rot) and root knot will be among those studied. All of the time assigned to the plant dis ease department In the short course will be spent on diseases affecting North Carolina crops. FROM THE POLICE TO MAGISTRATE COURT Judgo Wells Renounces Jurisdiction - Over the County Bridges. The city police court dally reminds drunks, vagrants, thieves and speed ers, that it has jurisdiction in these "diggins" but yesterday morning Judge Wells ran across a proposition that he had to refer to a magistrate. Robert Austin was charged with ex ceeding the speed limit and operating an automobile with the cut out open while on the West Ashevllle bridge, which is the property of the county, therefore the city police judge felt that he had no Jurisdiction in the case. B. F. Bradford handed over $15 plus the costs, for being disorderly, after the arresting officers had testi fied that he was taken while under the inffuence of whiskey and. that he had promised them both a "good licking." .Bradford, who hails from Blltmore, told the court that he did i received tn Ltnnrinmi onlv I r :r. . .

GREENSBORO MAN IN FAVOR OF R.R. PLAN Muuagcr of O. nenry Thinks Mt. Mitchell Road Would Be Great As set to State Gen. Carr Is Coming. General Julian S. Carr, of Durham, and president of the First National bank of the tobacco city, in a letter received at the board of trade last night, stated that he would Join the party of Ashevllle business men going to Mt. Mitchell Wednesday, January 7, and thanks the organisation for the opportunity to look over this magnifi cent property, with a view of saving It as an asset to the state of North Carolina and tho south. An Invitation was extended yester day to William Fore, of the O. Henry hotel, of Greensboro, who Is visiting Ashevllle, and but for the convention of hotel men that will gather In Greensboro January 6 and 7 would gladly have accepted the Invitation to see the glories of the Mt. Mitchell railroad, he said. In speaking of this road to the board of trade yesterday afternoon, Mr. Fore stated that Ashe vllle ought to be quick to see the ex traordinary financial asset Mt Mitch ell and the railroad that would enable people to go to the top of It, was to Ashevllle, and not only to Ashevllle but the entire state of North Carolina. A great asset? "Why," he continued, "It Greensboro had a railroad from its business street right up to the top of Mt. Mltohell, and it could be util ized as a business getter for the bus iness houses and banking Institutions of the city of Greensboro, the money would1 come forth so quick It would make your head swim, it would be a case, of grab it. And the road will not only be a great asset te the city of Ashevllle and western North Caro lina, but in my Judgment it will be a big money maker for anyone who may be so fortunate as to own a part of t, and I am one man In Greensboro who speaks up for an opportunity to get some of It to start with." not remember makinar anv threats ab-nltiat lh nffiptM anil tVlA ha hfl'' t no 111 feelings toward the police. 8.
