D. WICK GORDON ILL
CARPIED TO THE HOSPITAL
Mr. Gordon Suffering With Eresy
pelas, Now Improving Two
Youag Men Jailed On Charge
of Burglary Other Items of
Interest.
King, May 29—Mr. D. W. Gor
don, of Pinnacle Route 1, who is
seriously ill with eresypelas, was
carried to the hospital at Greens
boro one day last week. He was
accompanied by Messrs. S. F.
Tillotson, of King Route 2, and
I. M. Gordon, of Statesville.
We have learned since that Mr.
Gordon is improving. Mr. Gor
don is a strong Union man and
belongs to the local at Volunteer.
He is a good farmer and good
citizen and the union brothers
of his local are looking after his
farming interest and are keep
ing his crop in good shape. We
hope Mr. Gordon will soon re
cover from his illness and be at
home again.
Owing to the long dry weather
the farmers are getting some
what disheartened as their to
bacco plants are drying up in
the bed and the wheat crop or
a portion of it will be short.
'We think that the good people
should some together and offer
petitions for rain.
We learn that two boys named
I Long and Cox, 15 or 16 years
I old each, are charged with break
ing into Mr. C. H. Boyles'
store on Pinnacle Route 1 a few
nights ago and taking from the
store several articles, but not
much money, as Mr. Boyles had
removed the most of the cash
the night before. The boys
were soon arrested by Deputy
Sheriff Gordon, tried before J.
P. Covington, a justice of the
peace, and were bound over to
court, and in default of bond
they were sent to jail. Bad,
bad on the boys that they should
get into such trouble wilfully
and knowingly. Young men
and boys, let this be a warning
and may you learn to fear the
laws of man and God.
We are glad to learn that the
Sunday School at Chestnut
Grove church is progressing
nicely under the management
and control of Mr. D. F. Ed
wards as Superintendent.
Rev. Mr. Richardson, of Pi-
I lot Mt., preached at Chestnut
I Grove church on last Sunday.
He used for his text a very good
subject which is found in the
Book of St. John, 14:12, which
reads thus : "Verily, verily, I
say unto you, he that believeth
on me, the works that I do,
shall he do also, and greater
works than these shall he do."
Some sickness in the neigh
borhood at this writing.
Mrs. John W. Gordon, of Pin
| nacle Route 2, is visiting her
daughter, Mrs. L. R. Boyles, on
King Route 2, this week.
SCRIBBLER.
Miss Mary Taylor and Paul
Taylor, who have been students
at Guilford College, are expect
ed home'here soon. Paul wili
probably arrive Thursday. Miss
Mary contemplates a visit of
several, days with friends in

Form 4
R. A. Jamei, Winner of W. K. Kellogg Trophy, with the Trophy
Mid the 1910 Champion Car
R. A. James of Charleston,
111., has the proud distinction of
having grown the best ear of
corn in all the 3,125,713,600
bushels of last year's bumper
crop. At the National Corn
Show just held at Columbus,
i Ohio, this gentleman was award
ed the W. K. Kellogg National
Corn Trophy, donated in 1909
by W. K. Kellogg, president of
Toasted Corn Flake Co., of Bat
tle Creek, Mich.
Thousands of ears of corn
J from all parts of the country and
of all varieties were entered in
the competition. The selection
of the grand champion Sweep-,
stakes and the award of the
Kellogg trophy were made on
general points of superiority.
The ear of corn grown by Mr.
James is of Reid's Yellow Dent
variety. It is 10 inches long,
inches in circumference, and
has 20 rows of kernels, 6 to the
inch in the row, average jj of an
inch in depth, and 5-16 of an
inch in width. It is indeed a
very correct type of yellow dent
corn.
Mr. James, the winner, is a
a vigorous farmer about 40 years
of age and of pleasing personali
ty, a man who has givea careful
study to com culture, and who
has achieved his success as a
grand champion winner only by
years of hard work and painstak
ing seed selection and careful
breeding from season to season.
Illionis growers are especially
elated over the result for the
reason that this is the first time
in four years that the honors
have berfn wrested from the
state of Indiana. Last year's
j champion ear, the first winner
!of the Kellogg trophy, was
! grown by Mr. Fred C. Palin.
!of Newtown, Ind. It was also
of Reid's Yellow Dent varity,
j crossed with Alexander Gold
! Standard. Last year's prize
; winner is the most perfectly
j formed ear of the two, though
;it requires a careful judge to

The trophy awarded to Mr.

made of Sterling silver, bronze
and enamels, and is a truly ar

Raleigh, May 24.—The pure
food division of the State Depaat- •
ment of Agriculture has had j
seized a lot of flour at Asheville 1
because it is highly bleached in !
violation of the State pijre food
law. The flour was shipped into
the State by the Cumberland
mill of Nashville, Tenn., and was
found in the stock of H. J. Oliver
of Asheville. The fine for this
is S2OO. The department some

understood when it is stated
that the Kellogg Toasted Corn
Flake Co., of which he is presi
dent, has an output requiring
10,000 bushels of corn a day,
raw product, for its manufac

while the Kellogg product is
made exclusively from selected
white corn, the Kellogg trophy
has been won each time by a
yellow corn exhibit. The trophy
is offered for annual competition
until won twice by the same
grower.
The National Corn Show at
which the award was made, was
an event of tremenduous magni
