Her name is Ada Walker, colored and she hails from the good town of Creswell. It ,is a far cry cry from that village to the police court in Elizabeth City, but Ada made, the trip and made it with distinction She came up Saturday bent on hav ing a good time and she proceeded to do so. ' The first step was to tank up on mean whiskey, brought (so she said) from her native heath. The liquid was of an especially strong and fiery band and, the continuous copious de oughts which .Ada took! went to her head. She grew good-humored. She became jovial. The world appeared tinted with roseate hues; So pleasing was the prospect that she; became hilarious, even boisterous, and gave expression to her pent-up emotion in loud, long-drawn; out profanity that made the atmosphere blue . for blocks around. She swore no deiicate lady like oaths, but large mouth-filling ones that would have unloaded the-heart of a sailor. A disturbing element appeared up on the scene in the form of Chief Bell, who took a, hand The hand of the in the proceedings, a wwas laid upon Ada and she was escourtedl to the lock-up where she; spent the night and on the' ways of the world. !' She apeared before Mayor Leigh in Tribulation Hall this morning 'a wiser, but seemingly not a whit sadder per son. Shwas. ar aigned on the charge or being drunk and disorderly. In re- sponse to Mayor Leigh's query, I she sid she reckoned she must be guilty. Jnief Bell repkoned so. too and gave the court an account of Ada's actions. She cussed and) swore boisterously and indulged in vulgar language upon the city streets. When arrested she seemed disinclined to go and was rath er violent in her protestations, boAh verbal and physical. In fact, she was sjo much so that she had to be tied in. the buggy; and then she resorted to the last, trick of her kind and tried to bite the officer., j - ; For all this- ; wickedness, Mayor Leigh imposed a fine of $5.00 and jost, the whole j amounting to $7.70. he said she didn't want to part with the money, though she wished it 1 un derstood that she had plenty of it. Rather than pay it over she would 'do time", she said. These being j her enfiments she was left in the custody 3f Chief Bell, Jwith instructions to turn her oyer to Capt. Massey's !bri- gade if the money was not forth- jcommg. In making up your glasses I take as much pains j wit!, each pair f a3 though 1 had to wear them myself; this insures perfection.

Recent ly several negroes got into a -mixup about midnight and made the air air thick with their unearthly noises. At another time a party of white men made as much if not more noise, dis turbing; the peace . and quiet of the community -to no small degree.

Dr. Tait Butler Closes Successful series in the West Several Also Held in Eastern Counties, j Raleigh, N. C. August 13 1906. Dr. Tait Butter, State Veterinarian has returned from the western, part of the State, having finished the summer series .of farmers . institutes in West ern Carolina. Every western county and several in the East have been-visited.' Th.9 interest in the work has been every where increased, and its val ue cannot, be estimated. Its strongest features i3 that nothing is told at an institute that the man telling it has not done himself. ; All over the world, and especially in the United States, there are being maintained eperiment stations and test farms for finding out new facts in agriculture. There are two wavs of carrying these facts to farmers. One is through bulletins, and the other is through farmers' institutes. The most, effective w,ay to tell a man anything is by word of mouth rather than through bulletins. After the farmers have heard the leaders in agri;ult'a.il thought speak Jliaving been in actual contact, they will read the articles those in experimental ! work write with more interest and greater under standing having confidence in them and: faith in their work. The institujfes bring together the farmers in a community engaged in grawing similar crops, having similar problems to overcome and the same difficulties to meet, and the institute enables them to discuss the matters and assist one another by relating their individual experiences. In these institutes the practices re commended or suggested are entire ly practicable, because : those making them have not only actual done the things themselves, but because there are hundreds of farmers throughout the State doing the same thing suc cessfully at the present time. . What the institute aims at is to prs snt the best methods of the best farmers. Jenny. Treatment for- pimples and blackheads call for absolute cleanli ness.

TO A OVER- TISE IN NORTH. (Soecial Correspondence.) Washington. Aug. The Land and Industrial ! Department of the Southern Railway is preparing to ren der a moot raluab'.e service to the Southern States through hich the company's lines run. a 'service that will cost the company many thousand of dollars. The '-company's plan la to place on exhibition at fairs and ex positions In Northern States this fall products of the farms, forests, factor ies, mine?, and orchards of the South. These exhibitions will be in charge of trained agents who will explain to visitors just what is produced in each section of the South, how much per acre, the climate . character of the soil. etc. Thousands of: pieces of lit erature oa Southern in !'.:-tr!"s v,ill be distributed ct r.:v fr.' T agents- of the railway company will personally explain to Northern 1ml grants just what. can be produced in each locality, and will endeavor to se lect the very best labor for each sec tion. Special attention will be given to agriculture, lumber, truck-growing. and the cotton milling industry Southern railway officials are confi dent that this plan will lead honest and thrifty worklngmen to make that section 'theirj home. The .itroducts of Southern orchards will be display ed in large glass jars, j Specimens of Southern lumber, minerals, and fac tory products will be exhibited and thoroughtly explained. .This is a new venture on the part of the Southern Railway Company, and the officials of the company feel j certain that splendid results will be accomplished. From the grain fields of the West comes the cry for more laborers, and in spite of wages running from $1.73 to $3.00 per-day,including board, the cry remains pretty much unanswered. The Northern Pacific Railroad adver tised a few days ago for C.oOO men to work la the Gelds alo-s Its llac3, but not more than 100 ncn answered the appeal. The' "Soo" Lice has a stand ing adv rtlsement for 12.CCG men. and conditions along other roads in the grain country are similar. There Is also a great demand for laborers In the cotton fields of tho South, but th? supply Is very limited accorJIIng to reports. So serious has the lalor sit uation become that all of the great railway system of the, country are putting fcrth unnaal j efforts to ui ply the demeand for; labor la their reactive section?. j Cotton brokers in the East report partly boll Weevil, In' Louiaann and Texas, as well as shedding and rust caused by excessive hat on the ten der plant: but oa the whole conditions are pictured as favorable.
