Demonstration Work. Editor Reporter: A number of farmers while at tending the meeting of county commissioners Monday took time to call at the county demon strator's office and discussed various subjects pertaining to better farming, especially the question of producing cheaper pork. The usage of more green pasture for the growing of pork. The farmers are urged to take advantage of the coming high prices of feed by the sowing of more grain crops. Sow mixtures for mowing, appler oats, wheat and crimson clover or hairy vetch makes a splendid hay crop, and a heavy vielder. Or if you want two mowings next spring and have a rich plat, sow rye, appler oats and crimson clover, and if cut at proper time you'll get two cuttings. W. P. HOLT. Agent, Danbury, N. C. At John R.

Engineer Gleen Says Driv ers Fail to Observe high way Regulations. Greensboro, Sept. 4.—Many ; automobile drivers are daily I ' flirting with death" bv failing jto observe the highway regula tions, "stop, look, listen," when j approaching railway crossings, ' declares Engineer M. C. Glenn, i of Southern Railway, who makes ! a plea that people using the public roads take some considera | tion of the feelings of engineers as well as be more careful of their own safety. "Yesterday I was engineer on Southern Railway train No. 108 and at Williams Crossing, which is about four miles west of Raleigh," says Mr. Glenn, "I | only missed striking an automo | bile about two seconds, and in this automobile were grown peo ple and children. If I had struck the automobile and killed or injured those people some one would have said that the en | gineer failed to blow, etc., when !in fact, I had just sounded the whistle for Thompson, answered a signal from the conductor, and had blown a road crossing signal. The bell was ringing also, but i the driver of the auto evidently did not hear any of the signals | for when 1 came in sight of him | which was for a short distance !on account of a curve in the track, the driver averted a col j lision by suddenly cutting his I car to the right and I passed I within 10 or 12 feet of him." Mr. Glenn calls attention to 1 ! the fact that if drivers of auto -1 mobiles and other conveyances I i would observe the rule, "stop, Hook, listen," when approaching railroad crossings they would safeguard their own as well as j other people's lives to say noth ing of the property loss in case of accident.
