The election will be held on July the 11th. We failed last year in our efforts to make this district one of the many special tax districts of the county, but there is no doubt but what the results of the election on the eleventh of next month will not place our commun ity behind the other progressive communities in this part of the State. We believe our people are becoming more and more inter ested in education. This is the only safe and permanent basis on which to run the school. We have tried many other , methods, but to no satisfaction. Wherever this method has been tried it has! been successful and given satis faction. Voters, consider the proposition well. Cast your bal lot in favor of the school. Your boys and girls justly deserve it We do not believe that you can afford to make the mistake of voting against the interests of your: own boys and girls and community, i Enlist on the side of the school and progress. W6 believe you will. ' In Memory of I. E. lalley. I Branchville, Va., May 27-11. Atthereguiar monthly meet ing of the Directors of the Bank of Branchville; (Saturday, May 27th, 1911, the following resolu tions were adopted: That whereas, on the 24th day of May, 1911, the All wise Provi dence, in His wisdom called from his earthly so-jpurn Mr. R. E, Railey of Margarettsville, N. C, and That whereas, Mr. Railey was a Director in the Bank of branch ville, and attended regular upon its meetings, therefore, Resolve 1. That we humbly submit to the will of our Heav enly Father who doeth all things according to His pleasure, and Resolve 2. That we recogniz ed in Mr. Railey an excellent man, a generous neighbor, an exceptionally kind father, and a devout Christian and by his gen tleness of spirit, soberness of thought, firmness of character and uprightness in all his walks of life, had quietly and uncon sciously won to himself the lead ership of his community. Resolve 3. That we feel keen ly his sudden departure, we feel a great loss bj his death as a cit izen, as a neighbor, as an advis er, and as a Director in the Bank His influence not only contribut ed to the success of the Institu tion, but his advice was often sought, taken and always proved wise. Mr. Railey exemplified such a Christian reflection that we rejoice in our belief that he now dwells with Christ, although in our earthly tabernacle we are sorrowed by his absence. Resolve 4. That we extend to his bereaved family our m st sin cere sympathy and pray that they may endeavor to serve his Lord and Master looking to a full and complete re-union where Bor row is unknown. Resolve 5. That these resolu tions be spread upon the minutes of the Bank, a copy be sent to the family, and a copy be pub lished in his county paper. J. W. Smith, A. L. Glasgow, E. M.

Additional Prizes Oflered Time in Join Club Extended to July First. Raleigh. N. C, June 3, 1911. To the Editor:-At the Decem ber meeting of the Board of Ag riculture there was appropriated $500 for prizes to the boys of the State who make the most corn on an acre of ground. Rules and regulations governing the con test were s ant to all applicants. Since then there has been sub scribed by manufacturers of fer tilizers about $500 more, making about $1,000 to be given to the boys who excel in growing corn. In many counties the number of boys entering the contest has been disappointing. In view of this I am going to hold my book& open through the month of June, and will enroll any boy of the right age who sends in his appli cation. There is yet a fine op portunity for some boy who has not entered to do so and win a prize. There will be about $100 worth of prizes to each Bovs Corn Club district Only & boys have sent in their applications from the Second District, as fo2 lows: Gates 2; Hertford 8; Ber tie 17; Martin 5; Northampton 5; Halifax 2; Edgecombe 30; Wilson 3; Warren 18. , So far Wilkes is -the banner Corn Club county in the State. The County Superintendent of that county, Mr. C. C. Wright, has sent in 132 applications. If every county in the State would do as well as Wilkes we would, have more than 10.000 boys in the contest studying corn grow ing and laying the foundation) for better and more profitable farming against the day when they shall become men and un dertake the responsibilities they will then assume. What a state, agriculturally, North Carolina might become in a few years' if we had 10,000 of her best bovs now studying how to grow more corn and incidentally learning the foundation for better farming along all lines! Enough county pride should possess every pro gressive person in the district to encourage him to give the move ment the benefit of his or her in fluence'. Let the fathers and mothers of the boys in the dis trict encourage them to enter the contest and see how much com they can grow on an acre. The experience will be worth a great deal, even though they should not win a prize. . Besides, we hope to continue this work, aad if a boy fails to get a prize this year he stands a better chance of getting one next year if he enters the contest now than if he waits until 1912 to enter. I shall be pleased to send blanks to any boy who wishes to enter the contest. Do not write to me to enter your name, but ask for a blank to fill out, as on ly those who have signed appli-. cations in my office will be con sidered members of the corn club. I will send with the application blank one of our Boys Corn Club buttons. T. B. Parker, Director Boys Corn Olubs. Even pessimists can see the bright sidetif a silver dollar. FOR SALE. A Sow and Pigs.
