Eastbound train overlooked meeting orders at Newark. Engineer H. A. McGee, of the east bound train, was fatally injured, dy- | ing a short time after he arrived at | the hospital. A. L. Dodge, of; Waycross, Ga., baggage-master on the eastbound train, was almost in stantly killed. Dan Williams, negro porter, and an unknown negro on the westbound train were dead when found. Eastbound train was an hour late 1 and had meeting orders at Newark. It went by about a mile before the j crash came. The front part of the ! westbound train was practically j splintered, and the baggage car tele scoped the coach in which the negro passengers were riding. Eastbound train had steel passenger cars and this is believed to have lessened the injuries to the passengers in the rear j coaches. The rear passenger coach of the westbound train remained on the j track, as did the two passenger and j Pullman coaches of the other train, j The engines were a tangled mass of j i wreckage on both sides of a ten-foot embankment and the baggage and J mail cars were practically destroyed by the impact. Sumter B. Parker, of Waycross, engineer on the westbound train, suf fered injuries to the head which are considered dangerous. Conductor R. B. Ballard, of Waycross, one of i i the oldest men on the road in point | of service, suffered a compound frac-1 ! condition. He is at a local hospital j ! at Waycross, Ga. | THE HOME TOWN PAPER When the evenin’ meal is over an’ the dishes put away, An’ you settle down to store your mind with happenin’s of the day, Comes a peaceful feelin’ o’er you, brushin’ from your face a frown, As you scan the weekly paper from your ol’ home town. It tells you all about who’s sick and those who come and go Likewise the cornin’ vendue at the farm of Jabez Stowe. | The burnin’ of the Cider mill be-' longin’ to “Hub” Brown.

If the chicken-pox is ragin’ or the mumps is goin’ roun’ I peruse it in the paper from my ol’ home town. I read the mornin’ papers and the evenin’ papers, too, An’ I sometimes pick a novel up an’ sort of skip it through; But when I want some pabulum, which nowhere else is foun’ I unwrap the little paper from my ol’ home town. They say our good an’ bad deeds are recorded up on high, So that God can classify us when it comes our time to die.

GRIFFIN HOSTESS Wendell, Sept. 25.—The teachers 1 of the Wendell school and the board of trustees and their wives were very graciously entertained at a sup per of Brunswick stev.' by Mrs. M. A. Griffin -n her home last week. There were about 45 guests pres ent who thoroughly enjoyed the oc- 1 c£ sion. GAS CUTS COST OF AUTOS Absolute control of heat through the use of gas, in melting metals e:n --1 ployed in the manufacture of auto- 1 mobiles, has brought about large economies in production. Thousands of spare parts, formerly rough cast and then machined to size, are now turned out by atuomatc dies with a degree of accuracy impossible under j the old process. This averts the waste due to rejection of imperfect casting and saves the expense of ma- j chining to size. coaches. THE ZEBULON RECORD, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 2, 1925 NOTHING DIFFICULT IN BUDDING PECAN TREES Considerable interest was shown .n the Pecan Budding demonstration held during August in several counties in *he eastern part of North Carolina by the Agricultural Extension Ser vice of State College. These demon strations were held for the purposg of instructing county agents and pri vate owners of groves in the work of top-working the thousands of seedling pecans now growing in the State and transforming them into valuable trees producing choice, thin shelled pecans of named varieties. The demonstrations were held at New Bern, Tarboro, Dunn, W’hite ville and Rockingham by Glenn 0. Randall, extension horticulturist. H. M. Curran, farm forester, and W. N. Roper, secretary of the North Caro lina Pecan Growers’ Society, assisted Mr. Randall in the work. Many per sons were present who had attended the grafting demonstrations held in early spring and it was very grati fying to learn the splendid success that many of these had achieved with grafting their own trees. One grow er, J. F. Eason, who has a pecan grove at Macclesfield, reported that he had put in quite a number of grafts and all had grown except one. This work of budding and grafting pecan trees is not a difficult work, according to Mr. Randall. There is no hidden secret connected w ith it. Failure in nearly every case may be traced to careless methods, he states. “Certain basic principles must be learned and these must be carefully observed,” says Air. Randall. ‘To learn these points, the insertion of one or two buds will be all the in structions a person of reasonable ap titude will need. This knowledge coupled with a willingness to do the work and to take pains with the pro cess, is all that is necessary. “One of the leading growers of the State, a man who has large busi ness interests outside of his farm and pecan grove of 1,500 or more, has always done whatever top-working hs grove needed. He states that he was shown hiw to insert one bud. He does not understand why in commer cial pecan budding, 75 per cent is considered a good live of buds as he always gets 90 per cent or more without any troupe. The reason is simply that hired men are careless, whereas he takes pains and gives proper attention to every detail of the work. The total number of buds that a careful man will insert in a day will not be much, if any, below the number inserted by a careless worker.” OAKLAND TOURING CAR FOR sale. SIOO.OO.

THE ZEBULON RECORD BEST TESTIMONIALS FOR AMERICAN SYSTEM The cnnuul report of the Consu mers Power Company of Jackson, Michigan is such an interesting doc j ument and so typical of the reports ! rendered today by the modern pub ‘ lie utility company, that a review of it is of real interest. This company serves the daily needs of nearly 1,000,000 Michigan industries depend upon it for their power and gas requirements. Over $108,000,000 have been invested by the confpany to supply th s service, , and in 1924 alone, $15,000,000 was expended for extensions, additions and improvements to meet the pub lic demands. This property is owned hy 20,500 stockholders, 82 per cent of whom live in Michigan. One out of every nine homes served represents a part ner in the company. This list of | stockholders has grown from practi cally nothing in 1919, to its present length. To keep just one jump ahead of the times, the company has built an experimental farm line near Parma, Michigan. It is six miles in length, serves 26 farms, two schools and one church and cost $2450 per mile to bu'ld. It is co-operating with the i Michigan State College in conducting | studies of national importance in the i field of furnishing electric service to j farms and rural districts. This pio ! neering marks a new epic in the pop ; ularization and development of elec tricity. I We, as consumers, take electric, \ gas or telephone service as a mat | ter of course just as we drink water |or breathe free air. We seldom ques i tion the source of supply. It is, J therefore, worth while to consider | this one company which is so typi • cal of our modern and progressive j utility. More than twenty thousand j people, in this case, are putting up 'the money i nd using their bestjudg : ment and intell gence to make pos ] sible an indispensable service to a ! million other peop'e in nearly 200 : towns and cities. This is high type of public service. \ It is typical of American initiative, j enterprise and progress, and is in ! striking contrast to the paralizing i effect of public ownership and con trol of these necessities of life, as . they exist in European countries. Nowhere in the world have groups •of stockholders joined their resources las they have in this country to rend ler a public service such as we en j joy today in the field of ga*. elec- I tricity and telephone. • Such annual reports as this are (the best testimonials that can ho of- I sered as to the superiority of the (American system over any other yet devised, when it comes to rendering real service to the rank and file of home owners and industries.
