Strawberry Crop In Eastern
! Corolina Not Seriously Hurt
Wilmington. April 9. —While
reports received here from dif
ferent points in the trucking belt
i indicate that some damage was
done tc strawberries during the
cold snap of the past few days,
1 yet it is not thought that the
loss to the truckers will be very
heavy because of the fact that
the berries in Virginia and Ten
nessee have already been re
;tarde.l and will likely not be
i placed on the market until most
of the crop from this section
has gone forward. The result
will be that high prices will pre-1
j vail, which would not be if the
berries from North Carolina.
Virginia and Tennessee were
thrown on the market at the
same time. In Tennessee the
berries are just beginning t>
bloom.
Truckers in this section say:
that blooms on berries not pro
tected by straw have been affect-[
ed by frost and the cold weather, I
the damage being variously
estimated at 10 to 23 per cent. •
•mt the growing fruit has not
I been damaged to any appreci
able extent. Nearly all the
\ berries in this section are cover
jed with straw and are there
: fore protected from the weathvi. !
Already car lots are beginning
Ito move forward. A car was
shipped Saturday, one yos'.cr
! day and another to.lay from the
■ Chndlourn section. If the
weather clears up and becomes,
I warmer the car shipments will
begin in earnest Friday orSatur
dav of this week.

Education The Supreme Need.
i Our country schools must be
made as good as our city
schools—and as well adapted to
the life of the people they serve,
j "Knowledge is power." and our
! farmers get the power of know
ledge from books and magazines
and newspapers as thoroughly as
our town classes have done.
Frequent meetings, lectures, and
addresses must stimulate thought
and disseminate knowledge in
the country as in the city.
| "We must use our heads for
something more than hat racks,"
as Dr. H. Q. Alexander puis it.
A man must be as much ashamed
jof being mentally lazy as of be
i ing physically lazy. A man must
; be as much ashamed of not provid
ing ample reading matter, or
I mind-food as of not providing
ample victuals, or body-food,
j We must be able to discuss all
i the great subjects affecting our
prosperity as ably and confidently
as the merchant or the banker.
Our people who can read must
read more, and the young who
cannot read must be taught—all
of them. The last census showed
that there was exactly six times
as much illiteracy among native
whites in the country as among
| native whites in the town. Not
| until our country people have
I school facilities equal to those in
towns can they meet the towns-
I people on equal terms and main
j tain their rights in the lierce
I commercial scrugg.e of ttw
| century.
I "My people are destroyed for
I lack of knowledge," was the lam
'entof old Hosea in bewailing
| the pilght of Israel long centuries
jago, and such must be the cry,
jday after day, month alter
I month, and year after year, of
j every man whose heart yearns
for the uplift of our Southern
farmers. Our people are destroyed
lor lack of knowledge.
Education—universal education,
compulsory education, practical
education, suited lor farm life:
this is what we must come to be
fore the farmer can secure his
rights and before the splendid
rural civilization we dream of
can be wrought out.—
The Progressive farmer.
Right here Is Your Chance
To Buy That Typewriter!
This is a Straight=from=tlie=Shoulder Typewriter Talk by
a Typewriter Alan to the Readers of the Reporter.
No other typewriter i Whether you hnve Imri
it at our expense, if you whether you use them or
will permit us. nut.
THIS IS THE NEW VISIBLE FOX
" BETTER THAN THE BEST OF ALL OTHERS "
Sent on Free Trial, Express Pd.
Look at the illustration of our New Fox Visible Typewriter, shown above, and compare it
with ar.v other typewriter you have ev» r seen or used. Here is a really VISIBLE typewriter
-note that the printing point is on top in plain siirht. and that the type bars rise from where
they are lying and strike the plate.: in full view of the operator, and in a direct line of vision,
and that all of what you have written remains in full sight until the paper is removed from
the typewriter. Compare this with those old style typewriters, that some firms are still
advertisit g as visibles, but on which the printing point is beneath the typebars, and you have
to look down into them—or between them—to see what you have written. Touch a key in
the keyboard and you change the color of your writing instantly from black, blue, or purple
to red. Press the Tabulator Key at the left in front) for paragraphing, writing the compli
mentary closing, etc.: also for all kinds of billing. At the right (in front) is our Back Space
Key. This moves the carriage backward for making corrections, or putting in punctuation. This
key also enables the operator to erase a word of three letters and write one of four in its
place. Press the Stencil Key shown at the left (front) for making stencils from which
thousands of duplicate letters can • e made. Four rows of keys reduce the shifting one-third.
The right Shift Key locks automatically for writing in all caps. A positive automatic Line
Lock prevents you from writing beyond a predetermined line. The ribbon travels in a
"zig-zag" line—not straight across from spool to spool as on others—thus using all of the
ribbon and making it last three or four times as long as on other typewriters. The ribbon
automatically re-winds itself from one spool to the other without any attention from the
operator. Carriages are interchangeable, and run on ball bearing tracks. Platens are re
movable, so that both a hard and soft platen can be used on the same typewiiter. Extremely
light touch, "No falling leaf is lighter than the touch of the Fox Typewriter." Choice of
Elite, Pica, Condensed Roman, Medium Roman, or Italic Type—we carry more than three
thousand special type in stock, of our own mannfacture, and can furnish keyboards for any
language. The Fox has an easy, almost noiseless action, is very durable, and is sent com
plete with cleaning outfit and metal cover with hard wood base.

Header, In all sincerity we can hones;ly say this proposition has never been equaled by any other
typewriter company, and all we ask is that you write us TODAY—NOW—jjivlnjr us your name and
