Remem ber friends the little one is "Safe in the Arms of Jesus.", A series of meetings will begin with the M. E. church here next Sunday night. Pastor Self is praying for a gracious revival and we hope the community has been doing likewise, if so, ' we may expect a season of. refresh- ' All who were anticipating an equinoctial storm wore not dis appointed. ..

The High School met Friday afternoon in the auditoHum, the remainder of the school; in Pri mary room for the purpose of re organizing the two literary soci- etJes.

The boys of the High School Society are anxious, to arrange debates with other schools in the county. . There has been a breath of frost in the atmosphere since the clouds passed Sunday afternoon. We notice in the Virginian-Pilot that frost is scheduled to arrivo by Tuesday. We feel confident it will make its blighting appear ance.;. Jack Harris, a worthy colored man of this section, died at his home near town the past SatuA da, after a lingering; illness of typhoid - fever. "Uncle Jack" was more than fifty years old. Mrs. J. T. Peebles. Jackson, is spending some days in the home of her mother, Mrs. Sarah B. Harris. The High School music depart ment, so ably presided over by Miss Lucy Allen, continues to grow. The class numbers eigh teen now with others to follow. "Our capital city" Jackson, has two events this week that will attract many of our people and doubtless many more Northamp tonians. First in importance is the address of Mr. Clarence Poe, the talented editor of "The Pro gressive Farmer." This is a rare opportunity for all loyal North Carolinians to hear one ' of her most gifted Bons. Last and least is the Downie & Wheeler circus. The children, of course, will have to see the animals and thev must be accompanied by their parents, so we naturally conclude there will be a large crowd of support ers.' ; ' Rev. Lloyd A. Parker filled his usual monthly appointments with Seaboard Baptist church last Sat urday and Sunday. Quiet and unobstrusive are the good preach ing and faithful labors of this young minister. We are sure that not only do the people here enjoy and profit by his ministry, but the angels look down approv ingly upon his toils and well fought battles. He announced that in his series of meetings, be ginning with Seaboard Baptist church 2nd. week in October, he would be assisted by Rev. T. J. Taylor, Warrenton. Brother Tay lor proved himself a very helpful co-worker in meetings here some five years ago. He knows bow to win the people to himself and then to the cause of Christ. The people here are much attached to him, greatly enjoy his excellent preaching and all looking forward to a spiritual feast, The Sunday morning service at Seaboard Baptist church were greatly enriched by a solo "One Sweetly Solemn Though," fault lessly rendered by Prof. W. D. Barbee. Good singing is one of the most attractive features of worship and we hope to report other successes from this begin ning.; v'v::;-;'::: .

Cotton Aothracoose or Pink Boll. The spots on the boll grow to about one-half an inch.are brown, and covered at a certain stage with a pinkish coating. Affected bolls open prematurely, and the lint rots or is of inferior grade. Wet weather favors the disease. The loss sometimes reaches 75 or even 90 per cent of the bolls. It is a fungous disease, and for tunately does not spread far dur ing a season because the repro ductive spores in the pinkish masses are sticky and depend largely on spattering water rath er than on wind for their dis. semination. The disease is car ried over winter or introduced into new localities chiefly through internally infected seed that have developed in slightly affected bolls. No satifactory seed treat' ment is kmrvn. The fungus may remain alive on the old stalks during the winter; and cotton should not be planted in the same field the next year unless it has been fall or winter plowed to bury Btalks. To avoid the disease, do not plant contaminated seed. Safe seed of any variety can be se cured from a moderately infected field if it is picked separately from Btalks that have no diseased bolls and that stand a few feet away from affected stalks. If only a Bmall amount can be se cured, plant it in a special seed plot from which a large amount of clean seed can be had the year following. Be careful to have gins well cleaned if thev have been used for diseased cotton. Fortunately the disease is rath er restricted as yet; but it is in creasing at a dangerous rate. It is first brought into new localities in seed grown elsewhere. Grow ers are warned not to buy any cottonseed for planting unless reliably assured that it is free of disease, Take immediate steps to free your farm of this disease by the seed selection method. Get your neighbors to do the same. Full information about this and other important farm crop diseases is contained in Bul letin 182 of the N. C. Depart ment of Agriculture, Raleigh.N.

For many years North Caroli na has been the largest oroducer of mica in the United States, ac cording to the United States Geo logical Survey. Prior to 1895 the output came chiefly from the larger mines and consisted of big sheets of fine quality. At that time large quantities of Bmall sheet mica that would cut plates less than three inches square were thrown on the dumps as waste. After the Bmall sheet and scrap mica became valuable, the dumps at the large mines were worked over and the quantity of mica produced was thereby great ly increased. Now that most of j the dumps hav been worked over and Only a few large mines are in operation, the output is barely; maintained by a ' large number of small mines and pros pects, probably as many as a hun dred. Many of these are worked by the mountaineer farmer and miner at times when crops are laid by, td occasionally one of the crcrpects develops into Iarradsct,'tt:-tIKv: Subscribe to the Times.
