Quite unexpectedly Miss Edna Young and I were chosen to take the complimentary trip to Char lotte for doing the best sewing at Garden City school. On Wednes day, November 25th, we went to Greenlee, where we were joined by Misses Texie Buchanan and Rebec ca Greenlee, who also were given a free trip for being the best sewers from their school at Greenlee, With our teacher, Miss McKoy, we boarded the train and went to Marion, and after spending three hours in Marion went to Marion Junction and took the C. C. & O. train for'Bostic. We changed at Bostic to the Seaboard train which j took us on to Charlotte. We passed through many pretty little towns, and reached Charlotte -about 8 o'clock. Miss Barnard and four Boy Scouts met us with an automobile and took Us to the Y. W. C. A., where we were re ceived by Misses Martin and Wil son, matrons of the Y. W. G. A. At 8:30 Thursday morning Miss Barnard came and took us to the First Baptist church. We were to do our sewing in the basement of this church. It was a very busy place. On one side of the room was an ex hibit from Pleasant Valley and Jamestown Country Life High Schools, of Guilford County. The girls were sewing and cooking. The boys were testing milk and seed corn. On the other side of the room the girls of Alamance and Sampson counties were cooking. They, like the girls from McDowell County, were from three teacher country schools. Opposite these the McDowell and Johnston Coun ty girls did their sewing. Our machines and all sewing materials were furnished by the people of Charlotte. Mrs. C. C. Hook, whom we all met and liked, ar ranged all this for us. At 12 o'clock the girls of Ala mance and Sampson Counties serv ed us with a fivecoursd meal. It was so nice and we liked their work so much that we hope we can have it, as well ss sewing, in our schools. We had about an hour for recreation . and then resumed our work. -;. A great number of people came to observe our work and every one seemed to be interested in what we were doing. We met Dr. J. Y. T Joyner, Mr. Noble, Mr. Judd, Mr. Brogdon, Miss Graham and a num ber of the leading teachers together with the Supervisors in the other uve counties. When we had finished our work for that day we took a,' street car and went to Myers' Park After supper we, went to the moving pic ture shows. Friday morning we went back to the church and sewed until 3 o'clock. We sent some of the aprons we had made to Mrs. Joy &er, Miss Graham, Mrs. Hook, Mrs. Harris and Miss Royster. ", : That afternoon Prof. Giles took us over Charlotte in an automobile; We went by f Elizabeth, ; Queen's and Horner Colleges.V We passed by many fields of cotton and gathi ered some to bring home as it was KLWSPAPER DEVOTED the first we had Mecklenburg roads are far supel rior to ours and we enjoyed driv ing over them. ' On Saturday morning we arose early, and started home about 9 o'clock. Our trio was a nWant one and we would like to repeat it ' Nelle Gibbs. Disregard for Canal Zone Laws. Panama. Col. Oore w rutrtvi. governor of the Panama Canal zone uuacea mat His request that two swift American torpedo boat destroy ers be stationed at the entrances of canai was prompted by recent ac tivity of warships and colliers of the belligerent European nations in the Vicinity of the The action of the Australian collier iuamna la leaving Balboa without Clearance papers and the fact that omer colliers have shown a disposi tion ot disregard canal zone shipping laws convinced Colonel Goethals that aecisive measures should ha to preserve the neutrality of the canal. Nearly all the colliers in ri ters arrived without health and in several instances sailed with out clearance papers. It is presumed the steamers met and coaled the Aus tralian and English fleet which con centrated recently in the vicinity of me i-erai islands, which lie 60 miles soutneast of Panama City. Tin - j "ipeuo Doai aestroyers re quested by the governor are expected to do trol duty and overhaul bellig erent emit attempting to disregard the canai regulations. v Alleged violations of the Canal shipping laws are said to have heen the subject of complaint to Sir Claude . Manett, British minister to Pana ma and also having resulted In orders the fortifications prevent unneutral colliers remaining in ports on the zone . In disregard of . the orders-" ofT canai authorities. In the case of the collier Malllna It is stated that she arrived without clearance papers or a health certifi cate and with no coal or supplies. She attempted to buy $30,000 worth of sup plies, consisting largely of articles in- tcuueu ior v;nnstmas dinner for large force. She was refused the sup and was ordered to depart be cause she refused to state her desti nation, as required by the Canal Zone laws. The collier Protesllau is point ed to as a similar case. It-is stated that there has been much wireless interference In canal waters' on the part of eight colliers which were recently in the vicinity of the canal and also by large warships fleets, reported to be within 25 miles of both ends of the canal. CONGRESS PUSHES WORK. No Extra Session for Next Summer Is Spur. Washington. Congress continues work of the winter session determined to complete its tasks March 4 so that no extra session will be necessary next summer. Democratic leaders of both housee agree with President Wilson that the country should have a rest from n. tional legislation. Right of way will be given appropriation bills with con servation measures, the Philippine bill and the government's 'purchase bill following. While no special Investigation of military preparedness seems in pros pect, much attention will center about investigations before reguar house committees. The naval com mittee will resume consideration of the appropriation bill at once with Secretary, Daniels again on the stand. The immigration . bill, with its lit eracy test for aliens will again be under debate in the senate while, that body waits for the appropriation bills to come from the house. Its sup porters insist that it will be passed although It; was not included in the President's outline of legislation. Conservation measures the water power site and the mineral leasing bills probably will ; be reported from the senate committee on public lands early In January. the 1914: crop of sweet potatoes in North 'Carolina represented a production-of 8,000,000 'bushels a ). pVoduction unequaled. by any other State in the Union. c - TO THE BEST INTEREST.
