Tba Board of Agrlonltnre ATtn the Ex
periment Station. ';''
The Board of Agriculture, which
has been In session for several days
past completed all business this
morning and adjourned until June
when the next meeting lakes place.
A member of the board suggest
ed that the Executive Committee
meet here in June, as there was no
necessity for the entire board meet
ing at that time. There was objec
tion to this and a member bravely
spoke put that be wanted to be on
hand if there was any ''pap" to be
parcelled out
' Mr. Hill King stated in the meet
ing this morning that a single
session of the Board cost the
State not less, than $800. It was
decided that the Board should meet
four times a year. There was some
objection to this, as the previous
boards have only met twice a year.
The most important business f
the day was the election of Mr J C
L Barris as attorney to the board.
Honors are being swiftly showered
upon the idolof Wake republicanism
but the god ot War accepts them
with becoming modesty. Since the
election in November the honorable
gentleman, who is best known by
the monysliabic word Loguef has had
eight offices thrust upon him. And
there are others to foilow.
The Board this morning autho
rized the executive committee to
make a special examination into the
Seymour decision and the Hatch
act with reference to the experiment
station. The board is not certain
as to whether it can throw the ex
periment station into the pie hopper
and this committee is expected to
find out. The board is very anxious
to oust Dr. Da, tie and all other
officers connected with that depart
ment.

Crockett and Bert Gilroy were
pretty renditions . The monologue
work of Mr. Hr' 'Ty Ward was very
funny, while the popular Mack and
O'Day met with an ovation that must
have been exceedingly pleasant to
those favorite comedians.
Abernathy Found Guilty.
Arthur T Abernethy, the author
of those two books of anomalous
nomenclature, has been under ar
rest for assault with deadly weapon
on Rev R P Goode. On a plea of in
sanity he was confined to the state
hospital at Morganton. He has been
tried and the jury readily brought
in a verdict of guilty, thereby set
ting aside the idea of insanity. But
on being called it was found he had
"given them the slip." Heisbeing
sought.
