They will employ experts in canning, preserving, pickling, but ter and cheese making) in brief, will have experts to teach the people on their line how to save every farm product, and will make exhibits of agricultural machinery and house hold conveniences so that the people aloi.g their road may learn of the advantages gained by using improv ed implements. They will have in operation machines for the improvement of country roads, and have the county of ficials in the fifty odd couuties through which the line passes see the improvements that can be made on roads by the use of machinery. The Seaboard Air-Line bears the expense of maintaining this enter prise, not even asking the manufac turer who exhibits his machines to pay freight on what he exhibits. It takes a whole train of cars, includ ing sleepers and dining cars and a crew of twenty men "to handle the work. If the road makes a success of this work all other railroads in the country will be compelled to fol low their example, and they, as well as the people generally, are inter ested.

THE BOOK WORK Will He Let to the Lowest Bidder- Gov ernor's Council Will Probably Meet Wednesday Evening and Decide the Matter. The Council of State will de cide this week the ineli-'-d of letting the State printing for the next two years. The General Assembly passed an act placing the disposition of all of the State's printing in the hands of the Council of State. The contract of the Messrs. Stewart, of Winston, who have had the printing for the past two years, expires in July. The Council has discussed the printing matter at several previ ous meetings, but no agreement was reached. The contract would have been let last week had the gov ernor been in the city. It has been learned positively from members of the Council tnatthe public priuting question wilt be finally disposed of during the present week. It is very likely that the Council will be called to meet Wednesday evening in the governor's office. It is learned on very good authority that the members of the Council are agreed that the job work shall be seperated from the heavier work, such as printing and binding books and reports. The Press-Visitor can state that the job work will be given to the Barnes' Bros, of this city. It is generally conceded that that firm will be awarded a contract for all the job work. The printing of the laws and jour nals, reports and the such like will be let under competition to the low est bidder. And this is the solution of the public printing matter. The Stewarts are said to be list ess in the matter and have made no special effort to get the contract. That Arm has made more out of the state printing than has ever been made by any bidders in the past. It is said that the Stewarts have clear ed more than twelve thousand dol lars by their contract. That the printing during the past two years has cost the state an outrageous sum is a well known fact. A inemberof the Council remarked today that all the job printing would certainly be done in Raleigh and that as much of the binding as pos sible, would be done here. So far no bids have been made on the printing; though none have been asked. FELL BETWEEN CARS Mr W R Kenette Had His Foot Badly Mashed at Franklin Va.
