'.v'':.'::v: ' Wesley Queen, one of the employ ees in the office, sustained tl? re 3 broken ribs and several other cuts about the face and body; he was given medical attention by Dir. C. Z. Candler of this city, and it is believ ed that he is not seriously hurt. Mr. Queen was the only one in the building at the time, it was struck' and he was seated at a large desk and that is given for the; reason that s he was not more seriously injured C as the desk held the timber off of . him. The switch in front of Mason's Lmill was thrown and th e six cars and cab were turned in on this . switch to prevent them from run ning into a freight train, that was standing on the main line. : Washingtpii, D.

Seekinge-enlist ia tne , servicl of its Mailpnance of Way:;Depart meht vdunjT'inen--oftechnicialiv ?ing who were born ahiibred iin the South; Southern Railway tympany : has maintained during, the pawo ; years arid'halnoW success Ublished a school of ' student.a'p- Iprentices enlisted from graduates of the leading Southern universities. iTMs is in effect a post graduate -course in overalls with an assurance ' of a practical life opportunity to" those who succeed. The men are carefully selected, after conference with ...university airtrlorities- their standing : with their fellow students apd general qualities of leadership dsplayed in their college life being considered as! well as their scholastic attain ments and sp9cial consideration being given to men who wholly or in part p iil their way through col- lege. The pay offered at the start is comparatively small and the work involves hardship and self de nial to an extent that proves the stamina of those who continue the course. The course has been arranged to take the student apprentice through the daily duties of track work as follows: 1st, as section la borer; 2nd, as laborer in yards and terminals; 3rd, as laborer in extra gang; 4th, as assistant foreman on extra gangs or in yards; 5th, as re lief or designated section foreman; 6th, as assistant supervisor. From assistant supervisor the student ap prentice may be promoted to su pervisor, to assistant roadmaster, to roadmaster, and on up as his his qualifications may! justify and opportunity may offer as vacancies occur. Southern Railway now has in its employ thirteen student apprentices of whom seven have been s promot ed to assistant supervisors and it is a source of pride to the manage ment that by sticking to the course under the conditions; imposed arid by winning the esteem of their fel low employees and their superior officers, these student apprentices have justifield their employment as well as having rssured the success of their individuals careers.

WAR STA&IP TAX WILL EXPIRE DECEMBER 3 I Owing to the large number of in quiries having been received from county officials and attorneys in this district, the Revenue Depart ment of Eastern North Carolina dis trict has given out a statement to the effect that the war stamp act j will not expire until December 31. The act expires by limitation on that date, but it is generally expect ed that Congress will extend the act for another year, if not two more. It is also believed that Con- gress will include more commodi ties in the act, gasoline being one to be rated for taxable purposes. Many people have been under the impression that the act expired November 30. DILLSBORO BAPTIST CHURCH. , Rev. R. H. Askew will preach Sunday 11 A. M. and 7:30 P. M.

Since Demonstration Work start ed in the State, eight years ago, one of the crops that has been given special attention is that of corn. Reports coming in now from County Agents show that the work is bring ing results. As an instance might be given the report of a farmer in Chatham County who never pro duced over 70 to 80 bushels of com on his farm per year before he en gaged in Demonstration Work. He aepended on growing cotton and tobacco with which to purchase high priced corn. Gradually, how ever, he has been following the methods advocated by the Demon stration movement. This year he has eight acres of corn that is pro ducing 450 bushels. His farm rjow is practically covered with clover and other winter cover crops. In addition to having humus to turn into his soil, these crops prevent washing and leaching, and also fur nishes much grazing for live stock during the winter. The secret of the building up of this soil to such a producing ca pacity is deep plowing the growing of winter cover crops, and good cultivation. Any farmer who will adhere to these few principles prop erly ought soon to be making from 40 to 50 bushels of corn per acre on his farm. When that is done other crops will grow in proportion. Rev. G. J. Christenberry, the new Methodisrpreacher, arrived in the ity last Thursday and preached his first sermon (which was a great one) at the Baptist church Sunday night He will preach at the Meth odist church next Sunday, morning and evening, this being his regular appointment We have been having lovely1 weather lately, f The farmers have about finished I their fall work and can now sit by the nice hot fires and enjoy their summer labors.
