His dad had already spoken, so when they called upon him, ho said: "I'm like the boys on our football squad. When we lcturned from a game the 1 BiudentB would ctll upon the Conch for a speech. He would always get up and tell them how tne game was won or lost. After he had spoken, calls would be made for some of us boys, but we'd all get up and ray the ' coach had told It all. So like at school, I'll have to say that my dad has told it all." Mr. 11. W. Lemmond called for a speech from a freshman. Somebody shouted "Williams". But Williams silenced the freshman cry with these words: "L'p at the 'Hill freshmen are supposed to keep quiet; so, in order to be a good freshman. I'm go ing to keep quiet this attcrnoou." Mr. Gilliam Craig likened Mr. Ike Dlair'a imagination to au old horse's that roamed around the Chapel Hill campus. His owner had a corn-crib full of pop-corn. One night this cr caught on fire. The pop-corn course popped; so before long a te acre field was covered with the pearly white grains. This old horse, when he started from the stable to the we next morning, Imagined that the corn was snow, laid down and froze death. (Ike had called on Gilliam for a speech.) Charlie Simpson and Ilemdon Hasty, two old scouts, had played on the University foot ball team In years gone by, so they, like many of the others, were interested In athletics, Ueenian Harrell, of Marshville, who waa a member of the '16 varsity, was present, and he was called upon to tell how they licked Virginia last Thanksgiving. This he did in a vivid manner; incidentally throwing a side' light on the morality of the boys, and the Immense good-felling that exists between the boya. Herndon Hasty said he wanted to ?o back to the old "Hill", but his boy told him tho other day to wait a while and they'd go back together 1 i Mr. Hasty promised to have that boy 1 ''.it hla on the varsity by '33. 1 j Hon.

Mr. White divided his sermon into two parts; first, be discussed drink ing, nnd concluded by a denunciation of gambling, which, according to him, is practiced here, not only by negroes, out Dy some of the members of the be: t families. On the curse of gamb ling he said: some of the youne men In town have been gambling. I do not con demn these young men as some do: I deplore tho fact, but lay the blame to other conditions. (From the preach er's ronnon one fathered that gam bling and other vices common among young men are oucouraced hv the fact that we do not provide adequate entertainment nnd Instruction for the growing boy.) I have been along the same road they are today traveling, and I believe I understand these young men. "Some time ago I read a vivid ac count of a gambling raid in one of the local papers. It was In the dead of tho night. About twelve negroes were seated In a house In tho out skirts of town gambling. The officers got w ind of the affair, and proceeded to raid the place. Four or five were captured, but a few managed to make ineir escape. 'Let me direct your thoughts another sceno. It was Sunday night. In ono of the rooms in the rear of tho Commercial Club building a num ber of the sons of the best families In town were seated around a table gambling. And I am Informed that the officers of this town knew that the game was in progress, and also knew that the door to this room wa locked." Kev. Mr. White spoke very kindly or tnese young men, some of whom he seemed to know personally. He stated that he had endeavored to sc cure their love, esteem and comrado. ship while in Monroe, and he hoped and prayed that they would see fit to discontinue this practice, which is the most elemental of all vlce3.

"In point of real agricultural de velopment and determination cn the part of thtf farmers to make their farms solf-rurporting the year 1916 is an epoch. The farmer has proved to hin self that he can raise twenty to thirty dollars worth of crimson clover seed per acre and harvest them at small cost, and then turn the stubble for corn and with the use of two to, three hundred pounds of acid phosphate per acre, harvest forty to fifty bushels He has also learned that he can realize twenty to twenty five dollars per acre from crimson clover In grazing dairy cattle nnd brocd sows, and then make a belter crop of corn or cotton than if he had net g:own tho clover. Several farm ers report a profit of twenty to twen ty-five dollars per acre from grazing brood sows and pigs on red clover. Abm-rni rye i3 proving to be worth ten toy fifteen dollars per acre fjr grazin B'jicosen. Lesnedeza rr.Tn cn WVtiat or wheat, fields in Mar U or firrt of April has given a gracing value of twelve to fifteen dollars rer aero the following summer and fall. This crop is inexpensive and a pr.t renovator of -worn soils and will be more extensively grown by farmers. The soy bean was more extensively Krown mis year ana will be grown more by farmers and in increasing acreage In the future. This crop can be planted on oat or wheat stubble and has a grazing value for hogs of twenty to thirty dollars per acre. It msKos a hay of high quality and Is reihhed more by stock than cowpoa nay. one farmer reports a yield of two and one-half tons per acre. Mot'1 than five hundred acres were planted to velvet beans this year. Rone farmers report that they harvested a many bii' hel of beans ns of corn on the same hnd when planted in alter nate rows, and that the corn seems t ' do better because of the presence of the bean?. "The soil-building Idea is trore prevalent, many farmers put c win ter cover crop on every acre in cul tivation. Many farmers are endeav oring to grow their own reed for cov er crop snd soil-building purpose than in any previous year. Th growing of more cover crops moan more graz ng for live stock. That there Is Increasing Interest In live stock growing is evidenced in the large number of pure-bred bull in the county. There are now about twenty-five pure-bred bulls of the d;il ry type In the county, and a goodly number of pure-bred cows and heir ers. The farmer is learning that the average dairy cow does not much more than pay for her keep, and that it does not cost any more to raise a calf from a good cow until she comes Into production than It does to raise a calf from a cow that Is a poor pro duccr. Ha is also beginning to real' ize thit the poor producing cow, not more than paying for her keep, never can pay for her raising, and that he has therefore raised her at a loas to the amount of what it cost to bring her to production. The high produe Ing cow is a money maker, the low producing cow Is kept at a dead loss. Many farmers arc keeping records on their herds and are weeding out the low producers. The farmers arc striving to Increase the butterfat pro duction of their herds by breeding to bulls or high quality. By this method the dairy farmers will Increase the productive power of their cows by twenty-five to fifty dollars per annum. l here are now four pure bred beef bull3 In the county and more will be purchased at an early date. Groups of farmers are preparing to rrow and ship beef cattle co-operatively. with the introduction of grazing crcps many farmers are growing pork profitably. One farmer reports sell ing more than five hundred dollars worth of pork, grown principally from grazing such crops as rape. iya. oats, cowpeas, soy beans, and clovor. More pork was grown on graz'ng crops than In pry previous year, and with the insinuation of nearby pack ing pl.nt'; the farmers will coon be shipping porkers la car lots.

A suggestion by the Campbell men that the doors be broken down provoked cheers rrom the crowd which witnessed the inauguration, but Campbell counseled the employment of orderly means ami the crowd quietly dispersed, A rormal demand is to be made upon Hunt tomorrow to surrender the office and turn over all official papers, it was announced tonicht. In the event this is refused counsel for Campbell stated that Hunt then will be served with a notice of applica tion for a writ of mandamus, adding that arrangements had been made for the issuance of an alternative writ in Supreme Court It was explained that Campbell in this manner will be identified as the de facto Governor of the State before the Legislature convenes January 8.
