The soy beans are as easy and a trifle cheaper to raise. Seed costs less than one-half and are far more easily saved. They take less seed (only 1-2 bushel) per acre and grow (far more grain per acre. The cowpea is sure to fall down and is practically a dead loss on very rich or moist land.

Peas shell out badly in handling and are lost. Soy, Beans open uniformly and when dry, thresh very easily by hand or with the ordinary wheat separator by removing part of the concaves. The straw is quite as val uable as the pea straw and far more so for feed. The early soy beans ripen earlier than peas, and as they are immune lo light frosts in the spring and in fall, they can be planted earlier in the spring and later im the fall than cowpeas or corn. The easiest way to cure beans for feed is the silo. You can save them all.wet or dry, in ensilage, and they make a won derful feed too. The syo bean con tains over 35 per cent of protein, the cowpeas 25 per cent. The soy bean over 20 per cent of oil, the cow pea only 1.76 per cent.

Miss Estss and Mr. Whitten Were th Parties. Durham Herald, The quiet marrigae of Miss Kath leen Estes of South Boston, and Mr. S. R. Whitten, cf Henderson, both more recently of Chapel Hill, escaped -he bars yesterday and it gains to day the publicity tthat it desreves. The couple came here Thursday morning at 11:37 and found the min isters hard to find. After many ef forts they located Rev. Sidney S. Post who took them to the Episco pal church and performed the cere: inony in the presence of the witnesse And the minister will' be the most surprised of them all when he sees this in print today. From here they returned to Chapel Hill with the mutual understanding that there sshould be made no tale oi and the nearest relatives will know all about it today. The couple became sweethearts by association in Chapel Hill. Miss Es tes was pianist at the moving Pic ture show7 in Chapel Hill. Mr. Whit ten was the trap drummer. The len gth of the courtship was over sever al months. The bride is pretty, very prettyt an a gifted musician. She is known to quite a few Eyirham people who have hope that she and Mr. Whitten will locate here. The groom's parents are prominent Henderson people and he is a friend to scores of Durham peo ple. This week will probably deter mine their residence. Head List at Horner's Other Notes The marks for the past month have recently been made out and sent home to the patrons of the school. J perusal of the grade-book shows that some eight boys have attained to the Head List distinction, they being as fellows: O. B. Bonner, f Gary, C. S. Dixon, of Aurora; Henry Fundora, of Bolondrn Cuba, Grahaam Jones of Oxford, Oscar Ragland of Oxford, Marsh Ray, of Oxford, W. A Robinso of Matthews., ,and Wilbur SniuLh, of Lynchburg, Va. The tennis ganie on last Thursday resulted in another victory for B by the score of 6 2; 26; 60. Wil bur Smith and Har kirns appeared for the winners, while Watt and Harris represented A. The final game of baseball between the two companies is being played th (Thursday) afternoon. The cadets are making elaborate arrangements for the Commnecement dance. It is expected that some for ty or fifty couples will be present. Cordon Watt of Company A, is the Chief ilarshal of the occasion. STEM STEM MINGS. The census taker is abroad in 'the 1-nd. We were glad to meet a number of old friends in Oxford a few days ago. Miss Ettie Washington, one of the attractive young ladies of Stem, is visiting friends in Louisburg. Mrs. Bettie Stem, after few weeks visit among relatives and friends, has returned to her home in the Wes tern part of the State. Messrs. J. B. Mayes and W.

The Oxford team will be composed, with possibly a few changes of such players as Capt. Devi n, Marshall Pin nix, Hamlin Landiis, Billie Mitch ell, Ellis Cannady, Ernest Howard, Waverly Harris, Lee Gcoch, and eth ers. The Horner boys will of cuorse put up the very best team they can. fought throughout, as both teams are pretty evenly matched. Those who saw the game with A and M, scrubs Th egarne will no doubt be hard Saturday know what the Oxford boys are capable of, while on the other hand the Horner boys, having prac ticed all the spring, have worked the. selves into excellent shape. The management have decided to charge twenty-five cents general ad mission to the game and the pro ceedss of the game are to be used to wards defraying the expenses of the Commencement dance at Horner's..

Cannady deceased, departed this life to join the great throng of the ransomed of God. The writer well and vividly re members seeing the deceased for the first time. It was wrhen she was married to his uncle in about 1848 or thereabout. She was a beautiful woman to look upon and clearly -demonstrated the fact that her knission was to be good and do gcod as a wife and later as a devoted nf other. She proved continuously that she really loved to be gocd and to do, good to all with whom she came in contact. She wais the mother of six sons and two daughters. Two sons have gone to their reward, the re maining are all living, some in Gran ville County, and seme in Franklin County. She had three brothers: Tom, Charlie, and Jcjin William. ,s all liv ing. Tom L. Cannady, one of Granville's County Commissioners, Wyatt, and Nat Cannady, are living in this county..The two daughters are living in Franklin County, all of whom are good and clever citizens. She had two noble sisters: Misses Kate and Mary Williams, who died in their maidenhood. The deceased died in her 84th year and it can be truly said f her she was dearly loved by all who knew he by both white and colored. She wras a consecrated servant of God and de lighted at all times in her church work It can be truly said of her she st retch eth out her hand to the poor ; she reaeheth forth h er hands to the needy; she openeth er mouth wilt wisdom; and in her tongue is the law of kindness. She looketh well to the ways of her household and eateth not bread of idleness; her children arise up and call her beloved; her husband also ht praiseth her. Favor is decedftful and beauity is vain but a woman that feareth the Lord she shall be praised Give her of the fruit of her hands; and let her own works praise her in the gales.

North Carolina Roads. , North Carolina spent $1,052,890 on roads in 1909, of which $649,190 were for new roads and $403,700 for main tenance, the greater part of the lat ter sum for repair of dirt roads. The aggregate expenditure does not include the work of 19 of the 98 counties of the State, where practi cally all the repairs were made un der the old system of tax paid by la bor. Of the 403 miles of improved roads constructed, 163, miles were of sand, clay, costing $90,000; 131 1-2 miles of macadam, costing $502,490. The average cost per mile was $3821 lor macadam, $552 for sand clay and $513 for gravel. The comparatively Low average per mile for both maca dam and gravel is explained in the fulletin of the Southern Appalachian Good-roads Association by the fact ttat some of the roads had been al ready partly graded or needed no big amount of grading before surfacing. That is a fairly good showing on the part of a State which was a pio neer in the improved road construc tion in the South, but it is but an index to the healhty spirit prevailing in that State and most recently man ifested in the enthusiastic determi nation to provide a first-class! high way across the State connecting Charlotte with Knoxville by way of Ashevalle and bring part of a sys tem in the Appalachian Highlands, Atlanta,Knoxville, Hendersonville,Ash eville, Greenville, and other cities, and opening up to tourists a section of the country hardly yet appreaoiat ed as it should be by health-seekers and those on pleasure bent, ,.( , ; . IN MEMORIAM. Hall of Oxford Lodge, No. 336 A. F. & A. M. On April 4th, 1910, the Great Gram Master of the universe called our b ther S. H.

Brother Brown's life was a splendid exponent of "he teachings and principles of our beloved Order, find his death has brought genuine and resignation which came from the sorrow to the hearts of his breth ren.

Finding themselves in posssesion o a large tract of Yakima river bot tom land covered for the most part with brushy thickets almost impene rtable, and finding the cost of clear grubbing fine P'owirg ihis to be about $40 an acre, we were forced to some slower and cheaper method of clearing and improving it. W'c are yet in the process. We bought a small band of sheep and a few head of pure bred AKoras lor the purpose of cleaning out the undergiowth r.f ros brie".-, buck bvusi service berry, thorn, wild cherry, cur rant and spouts of willow, alder, quaking aspen and balm, says a writr in Breeder's Gazette.The sheep could do no good in producing wool, tiutto? and lambs on these rations and re quired pasture additional, but the goats are perfectly at home, content ed and prosperous on this diet. We have now had three years of e: perience with them and pronoun &i them the most economical and effec tive remedy for such a situation as described. Their increase and flee ces, have paid well. We have net lost one from disease or sickness of any sort; have had money enough from prizes, sale of bucks and fleeces to ray all first costs, including bucks purchased for breeding, and our flock is three times the original number a'., present. The brush, is a little bit hard on their fleeces, but it is good for the goats and the brush tco. They eat down sprouts and the everlasting browsing winter and sryn mer kills them off. We feed in win ter alfalfa hay and grain and at kid ding tiime a little grain. They are good leaders for the sheep both out ward and homeward bound. They never have shown any disposition to be ugly toward the small, children.but now and then give the dogs a gentle reminder and fight quite a iljttle a mong themselves when closely con fined. They are quite sociable in their work afield, half a dozen com bining to ride down and strip some conifer or wiillow. Their enterprising method is remarkable. Always they are on the move and in the- direction of least resistance and largset pros pect for feed. Death of Mrs. Sarah R. Elliott. Mrs. S. R.

In Their Original Purity They Are) Gradually Growing Scarcer. From Louisville Courier-Journal. This is the gladsome season of ma ple sugar and maple syrup, but the consumer is in luck if he can find these articles in their original puri ty.There is a good deal of stuff on. the market called maple syrup, with such qualifications in the title a are required by the pure food laws, but there is net much of the real maple about it. as numerous as they used to be out in the country. Like other trees thye have been out down in order that farmers might have more room in which to grow tobacco or corn. A long time ago there was sure eno.i.h maple sugar, made from the pure juice of the tree, caught in wood en buckets or troughs and boilev5 to the proper consistency. Now-a-days it is made of common cane sugar, or glucose or other substancts to which is added just enough of the genuine maple juice to give it a fla vor and deceive the consumer. Hick ory bark yields a sap that can be made into a pretty good imitation, find in the west they boil down corn cobs for a beginning when they are manufacturing what they are pleas ed to call maple syrup. The public was scandalously hum bugged in this way until the pure food laws came to the rescue. Ver mont used to have a reputation as a producer of maple syrup, and most of the feeble imitations put on the market were labeled unbilushingly as "pure Vermont maple syrup.'" Now the enterprising manufacturer calls it b3r some other name and modestly adds "maple flavor." The under the law, and there are many and devious ways of complying with the law, but those who study the labels patiently may arrive at the truth if they are good resaoners and have good eyesight. Nobody should have to pay maple prices for glucose products; there lore it is well to be a little particu lar im these matters when you go searching for that elusive article known as maple syrup. The real ma pie product is a joy Vorever; some of the spurious creations are abomi nations. i Court Proceedings. State vs Peter Ellis and Hubert Ellis.
