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.

STOP, LOOK, LISTEN.
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.
