. It is not enough that our children
are clothed and sent regular to the
school house, or that we try to give
them .time for study at home, yet
many parents especially fathers
regard this as the extent of their
duty to their children. There are
many things about the house and the
grounds demanding though seldom
receiving the attention of the par
ent, and without which attention, the
children suffer more or leas in many
ways. Few men would entrust a val

sThe subject of cotton handling
and grading is one now uppermost
in the minds of all farmers, and is
one that should receive unlimited at
tention and discussion. '
The handling and grading of cot
ton should begin with picking. Cot
ton is often harvested wet and much
of the early picking is green. ; , :
The farmer rushes this wet, green
stuff to the gin, where the staple Is
ruined in the ginning, The proper
way to do is to keep this wet, green
cotton till it dries and matures. -

In large cities, great attention is

temperature of the room, cleanliness

of the grounds, purity of the water,

of the gravest Consideration. But
the country schools are not so well
cared for Too often members of
the school board,, though fathers
themselves, are indifferent, or
thoughtless, and, so there is no flag

to jog along unhindered. The moth

ton held in the seed will gain about
one-tenth in weight for the first
three months after picking.'. At this
rate, seed cotton that would yield
five hundred pounds of lint ginned
when it is picked will give five hun
dred and fifty pounds of lint .if kept
for three months before ginning. , ,,
Cotton should not be ginned as
picked. The loss will 'amount to at
least $5 per bale in weight .alone if
ginned immediately after picking,
The damage to the staple will possi
bly amount to a loss of more than
one cent a pound in price.' "
A bale of cotton that will bring

60 or more on a similar market if

The lint continues to grow in weight

Information Wanted.
. An anonymous correspondent en
ters a vigorous complaint and asks
for advice. He has a son aged about
nineteen, who is as large as the
father. . As a result of this similar
size the son finds it easier to wear
his father's shirts,, collars, hose and
neckties than to buy his own. The
father wants to know what he should
do about it. That's exactly what we
would "like to taoAnd'faboat

The exact amount of sand to use
will generally have to be determined
by experiment in each locality. Ap
ply the sand wheif the road is wet
but not rutted. It will not beof much
value till it becomes mixed with the
clay and thus forms A sort of arti
ficial hard pan. Oa the other hand,
if sand is applied w hard dry clay
it will be a postive tyuisanee until wet
weather conies ami allows it to be
come mixed with tite clay. . It is on
ly suitable for roads of comparative
ly light traffic
, Clay on sand usually gives better
results than sand oa clay on account
of the excellent, Natural drainage
afforded by the sand foundation. It
should be applied a layer about six
inches deep, well harrowed, smooth
ed off with grader, and rolled till
hard and smooth. After the rolling,
from one to two inches of sand from
the sides should be uniformly spread
over the road br ' the use of a road
grader. Clay thus1 applied will not
have reached its best stage until mix
ed with the sand. tW
Neither sand on' clay nor clay on
sand should be applied till the bed
has been properly graded and shaped
for a permanent road.
Repairs to this class of road will
consist m maintaining the drains
and culverts in good condition and
applying such material to the sur
face as was originally used to build
the road. Care should be taken in
applying this new material when fil
ling ruts to see that it is properly
levelled. If very much new material
is added it is better to harrow and
roll again. v

The sheriff in Booker Washington's

is found and turned over to the offi

to be remembered, by those who too
easily despair, that two-thirds of the
lynching! of negroes have no relation
to assault and that in twelve months,
about two years ago, there were
more actual or attempted criminal
assaults in Chicago than there were
by all the negroes in the United
States. The negro problems are
hard enough. It is better not to see
them as more hopeless than they
are. Collier's Weekly.
The Watts Law DM It.
The preliminary report of the
Commissioner of Internal Revenue
for the present fiscal year shows
that the aggregate collections of in
ternal revenue in North Carolina
have decreased over three-quarters
of a million dollars since the Watts
law went into effect. To be exact,
internal revenue collections in the
State are 1938,598.32 less this year
than they were in 1902, the year be
fore the Watts law became opera
tive. In that year the Federal gov
ernment collected a total of $5,118,.
959.50 for revenue purposes. Each
succeeding year has shown a dimin
uation of internal revenue receipt in
Tar Heeldom. . The collections last
year-, were -4,96S25JV nd thia
year they have fallen to$4,899,061.18.
