Take it In Farmers.
The short course in agriculture
to be given at the A. & M. College
in Raleigh in January should be
better attended than ever before
says the Times. With the. awaken
ing of North Carolina farmers for
need for scientific information, and
- the necessity for supplying an ever
, Increasing demand for food sup
" plies, 1000 farmers would not be too
-
great an attendance. -It is a course
that should appeal to adults, who
are . facing seriously every day of
their lives the problem of making
ends meet; Those who attend will
find the difficulty of making ends
meet -lessened to the extent to which
they apply, themselves' while in Ral
eigh. And that means that ; each
student will get something worth
gold to him. ....
Death of Railroad President.
Thomas M. Emerson, President
of the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad
Company,, and one of the most able
and popular railroad men in the
South, died at his home in Wil
mington Tuesday night following
an attack of acute indigestion suf
fered . on Sunday night at Dupont,
Ga., while on , an inspection tripof

ure in movements for the develop
ment of the South, died in Wash

consciousness after he was stricken.
Greedy Virginia.
Virginia cities that have for years
reaped a harvest in dealing with
North Carolina merchants are op
posing the efforts of our State to
get a reduction in freight rates.
By reason of unjust discrimination
these Virginia towns have grown
prosperous off of us and now that
they see a chance for reversing the
situation to a small extent they are
up in arms, it we had a ireight
rateonan, equality with Virginia
towns the citiesof QrlHCarolina!
Would prosper to a larger exfe
and our products would move
the world with more profit to the
producer! -The Virginia cities are
not very generous to North Carolina
and should not be encouraged too
much by NorthCarolina. Salisbury

Freight Rate Commission.
Newspapers and business men of
he Statehave been congratulating
Governor Craig on the personnel of
the Special Freight Rate Commis
sion recently appointed under the
Justice Intrastate Rate Act. Says
the Statesville Landmark: Governor
Craig made a departure in the ap
pointment of his Freight Rate Com
mission by naming a college presi
dent. The Landmark believes the
departure is a wise one. Dr. Po-
teat is a very able man, and while
he may not have a practical know
ledge of freight rates he has scien
tific knowledge which should be
valuable to the commission. Judge
Justice is an able .lawyer and will
furnish the legal knowledge, while
Mr. Thompson - is a business man
and will doubtless be able to fur
nish the practical knowledge as to
freight rates.

Rack to The Farm.
The "back to the farm movement
appears .to be gaining in populari
ty. The farm is not being regard
ed by young folks in the country
districts as a good place to move
away from to such an extent as in
the past, says the Western Sentinel.
Not only are young people of gen
uine ability staying on the farm,
but many of those who have left are
going back there. The iarmer is
indeed coming to his own. Excel
lent prices for farm products and
improvea living conditions in agri
cultural districts, along with other
agencies, have been doing much to
stop the drift from the country to
the cities. The tendency is indeed
an encouraging one. Says the Char-;
lotte Chronicle, in discussing this
subject: The product of the farm
each year becomes scarcer. This
makes the market quick -and good
for all farm products. The boy
who selects a farm life as a voca
tion is far more independent than
any other - boy and is just as well
fixed to invest in city enterprises as
a city boy is. It looks as if the day
of prosperity on the farm has re
turned.
