Well Shelby had its fight after all and we are charitable enough to hope it got $186,000.00 worth of satisfaction out of it. — A good hot weather ! ‘ ' t.r ponder over th you stand of not cing able to get any coai next winter. Halifax county has listed for ty million of dollars of taxable property. Forty millions is a quite respectable sum; about forty per cent of the actual value we’d hazard as a guess. Rockefeller gives away fifteen nickels on eighty-fourth birth day-newspaper item. If this boy doesn’t stop his headlong pro fligacy and extravagance he will yet come to want in his old age. The stop at crossing law, if rigidly enforced, will probably be the most effective agency in the work of making the elimination of grade crossings compulsory. The railroads have probably pulled another bonehead play. Judge Kerr announces that he never said he was opposed to the American Legion — and the citizen guileless enough to be lieve that any politician any where ever said that or anything like it must also believe that the moon is made of green cheese. Hank Ford is the easy winner in one of the earliest of the straw vote ballots for the presi dency, but before he gets ready to move into the large white resi dence on Pennsylvania Avenue, be might as well reflect that the present resident was just about at the bottom of all the straw vote ballots taken in the last campaign. With the conviction of Higgin botham, convict whipping boss, and the abolition of convict leas ing and corporal punishment throughout the state, Florida has done every thing that is humanly possible to erase from her shield theBtain of Martin Tabert’s death. Corporal punish ment is still being administered in convict camps in North Caro lina, and unless it is abolished it is only a question of time until some North Carolina Higgin botham will sully the name of thia state. The Stop Law As An Irritant The Btopat-croBsings bill was before the conference committee in the latter davs of the general assembly with an amendment drafted by a senator, Mr. Parker, we believe, which provided that it should not apply to tracks with, in the limits of municipalities. Hie senator’s chirography leaves somawhat to be desired in the way of legibility, and the word "tracks” looked to the committee like "trucks”, and so they killed the amendment The law as it stands applies to every crossing that is not furnished with a watchman, and the railroads themselves are failing to comply with its provisions, in numerous It is a railroads' law. and the appearance ia strong that it is A Great Bi; lUv r law of the sort frequently passed in this state, aad which reverses the motto on the great seal: an iccomplish something by n and subterfuge which ,ot be feasible to do by .—.road lawyers either ex pected this law would settle the grade crossing question once for ail, or at least hoped that it [might. Commissioner Page -said when it was being considered that in future, whenever an ef fort was made to interest a rail road company in the abolition of a crossing at grade, this act would be cited as all-sufficient: a contention which, he said, the state highway commision, for its part, had no intention of admit ting. The stop law can be inforced if an army of deputy sheriffs is em ployed for the purpose; or even a regiment might do it: enforced, that is, so long as the regiment was kept on duty. Its enforce ment was not originally contem plated. and is a detail to which the legislators themselves gave little attention. OstensiBly, the main object was to furnish for mal assurance, the assurance of the general assembly of the state, to locomotive engineers that when an automobile gets in the way at a crossing, the engineers cannot be considered as in any wise responsible for any thing that may happen. Enforcement or non enforcement would have nothing to do with that result. If the railroad folks thought that this law would remove from the list of their manifold pester ments the grade crossing pes terment, they did not go tar enough into the subject of the public psychology. Officers in some of the counties are serious ly wprking at the business of en forcing the act, and there does not seem to be any practical way of stopping them. Besides, there are some people to whom a law is a law; and when for any rea son a driver with along proces sion of cars behind him comes to a stop, that stops the whole line It is not just a question, if >cu are driving in thick traffic a;>* proaching a crossing, of your stopping once at the crossing; it is a question of stopping every time a car in front of you crosses; if cars are massed a dozen deep, the rearmost must stop a dozen times before getting over. And that is the way the law operates, when it does operate,. over any sort of track, whether it ever has a train on it or not. And so just in the degree in which this law is voluntarily or involuntarily observed, it is causing every day annoyance in which the public mind is direct ed in a new way to the subject of grade crossings. They will have to go; and the time they will have to be replaced will be when the public decides no longer to tolerate them. —Greens boro Daily News. I FARM NOTES FOR HALIFAX COUNTY By W. O. DAVIS, County Agont, Woldon, N. C. ___________ This week we saw an excellent \ demonstration of the value of I green cover crops on the farm of Mr. J, It. Whitaker near Knfield. This field was in rye last winti-r and the rye was turned under in time to plant cotton. The large amount of organic matter turned into the soil has acted like a sponge in taking up the spring rains and during the drought lias furnished moisture , no gh t keep the cotton growing. This , field is ahead of anything else on the plantation and Mr Whitaker thinks the cover crop of rye a . I deep breaking has been the cause Organic matter turned into tin. soil not only ; dds plant food 1 ut it also improves the physical condition of the land and makes it easier to work, helps it stand more wet weather because the organic matter takes up the water and prevents the soil from becoming saturated so quickly. In the same manner this water in the organic matter will carry the plants feeding upon it over a longer dry spell than can be done by land without organic matter. The pig club members around Aurelian Springs are getting l along nicely with their pigs. The entire lot of pigs have gained an average of 23 pounds the first thirty days. Wilbert Williams '■ is in the lead so far. His pigs hav ing gained 28 pounds which the largest gain shown. Watch these boys for results. We have seen considerable limberneck in chickens in the past ten days. This is a fatal disease unless the sick birds art attended to promptly and also the cause removed. It is usually caused by the birds eating decay — eil flesh of some kind as another! dead chicken or a dead rat. Look j for the cam first. After the ' cause 1 as been removed give each j sick chicken a teaspoonful of; castor oil and in ten to fifteen! minutes give chicken a piece of gum asafetida about the size! of a pea. Repeat the asafetida every two t > hours until three or fou -..•s have been given. This is an excellent cure. The sheep specialist from the State College will he in the coun ty at an early date. Farmers in terested in sheep raising will be visited and their particular prob lems talked over. If you are in terested in sheep write so I can arrange to visit you while the specialist is here.
