Both go hand in harid and both are doing harm to our country, 'It Is reasonable to believe1 that the cost of production in all industrial activities tends to establish the price to the consumer so if railroads must pay high . wages they must charge higher rates and so everything we need is thereby growing higher in tead of lower. Labor regulates all and labor will go lower when cost of living grows less. What would you think of all the farmer if they would work only eight hours per day and get pay for whole days. Just now we farmers, are working from 12 to 24 hours per day and find it impossible to save our poor drowned crops. If the eight hour system should jump suddenly on us we would lose our crop and if 80 per cent 6f population of the U. S. live on farms- and we should work only 8 hours per day or just. 2-3 of what we are nowl doing and ' should, produce '- 80 per cent, of "the foodstuffs that we now produce, it . would take list this much to feed the farmers and none would be left for1 the city and industrial strike. ; " There is a growing notion that city people live better than country people and the cities are filling op at the expense of the country, Better make your hog and hominy and be independent of everthing and ever body. ,''.

The fourth annual Rocky Mount fair will be the greatest of them all. This is the usual yearly statement of the fair publicity artist. .; However, this statement.should not be passed up lightly this time as Secretary Christian says the Rocky Mount fair will by. far "undoubtedly be the geatest ever held in this section, and in some - respects surpass anything ever seen, in the state." :The fair be held September 30th, October 1,2, 3. ' A show, personally inspected by the president of the Rocky Mount Fair Company before a contract was signed, will be here. This company travel on its own special train of 23 cars,, being nearly twice as large as any carnival that ever occupied the mibway at the fair grounds.-? ; - 'i The premiums in all the depart ments have been increased from 26 to 60 per cent.

More , Menacing to the General Wel ' ' fare of Industries and to ; . the Nation Itself ' The country as whole was astound' ed last week over the news that is sued from Washington. Organized labor came out "with the unequivo cal formal demand that private cao- iul be retired from the railroads." The public, the operating manage ment and the employes are scheduled to control operations of the road Everywhere in Washington, " the press dispatches state, "it is recog nized as the most serious and far reaching proposition - the country will be called on to face." America apparently is making rap id strides toward Socialism' and Bol shevism between which there is but very little difference, Insiduouspro paganda has caused Labor, to look upon' Capital with a menacing and threatening eye. The feeling of un rest, scattered at first, has been in creasing steadily for the past several months. .. God alone knows what is to follow. Arthur Henderson, the British labor leader is quoted as Bay. ing: "Before winter sets in there will be a terrible spasm of rage and despair among the people of Europe in which the final remain of civiliza tion may be totally annihilated." America stand an excellent chance of being included in that prediction. Lwoor condition nave reached an 1 . a acute stage,' The laborer is filled to overflowing with notions of equality and equal-sharing. He cannot see where there is any justice or fair ness in his having to labor at a certain price a day while the financiers do nothinsr but get the larger share of the spoils. That is the way he sizes up the situation. . He refuses to lis ten to any reason, it. looks as though experience hard bought experience will he be made to learn . the necessary part that that capitalist play in the welfare of our country. we , cannot all be equal.' All men are born eqnal but that's where the equality ends. We must have some men who are more powerful than others. Wei must have some who have greater "wealth than others. . The Bolshevik theory cannot and will not work,.'-; ; .; Organized labor in connection with the railroad situation, has causud a flame, to arise which,; unless it checked, bids fair td sweep over our entire country., .In theory this idea everyone being on a brotherly basis, " with ' love and . friendship predmoinating, looks mighty good.

Socialism and Bolshevism are at bottom, nothing but sour "grape" The, laborer' is a Socalist or Bol shevik only while he is poor.' Let him prosper and let him secure a little wealth and ; he abandons the principles about which he has been shouting. None has as yet heard of rich Socialist or Bolshevik.

A dispute between a white man named Jonah Alford and a negro tenant, living near the Wake county line in Dry Wells township and in which the landlord and tenant con tended over the placing of tobacco in a pack house, resulted in Alford's shooting the negro, who later died at the hospital in Raleigh. . The Board of Commissioners of Wayne county have accepted plans and specifications for thd erection of a community memorial building to cost approximately $200,000. The building is to be a memorial to the soldiers and sailors of Wayne county who saw service in the great world war against Germany and her allies The race riots in Chicago and other northern cities which have prevailed for the past several weeks are great ly diminished in their proportions and thing are getting on an even keel again. However investigations are being made and many indict ments have resulted in the arrest of large number of negroes and whites. A platform for the storage of flour in the store of L. W. Wood in Raleigh, served a a hiding place for nearly 200 pints of block ade liquor, but was unearthed by Deputy Marshall Stell and assistants a few days ago. Wood is now under bond to appear before the United States Commissioner and explain matters. During the recent heavy rams which swept all Eastern Carolina and other portions of the State, more than fifty of the principle bridges in Wake county were either put out of commission or destroyed. The Board of Commissioners of Wake have decided to replace all structures with either concrete or steel where- ever possible. The threatened tie-up of the rail roads by the shop employes seems to be losing ground every day, and thousands : of the craftsmen who went out on a strike several days ago have returned to work and through out the' country they are heeding the : warning of President Wilson that they must return to work firut before I any, consideration of their claims would be given. While it may be several days before anything like normal conditions prevail, it is believed that the stirkers will return to work in such numbers as to make the handling of freight train and general work in the shop practically normal ' ' W.

'1 CLOVER WORMS PLAYHAVOC Ravaging Crops In Eastern Carolina MANY FIELDS HIT Department of Agriculture Advises Farmers Best Way of Combatting- Pests Now Destroy in; Soybean Crop. Complaints are now pouring into the offices of the State Department of Agriculture and the Extension Service about an insect known as the Green Clover Worm, which is now epidemic in Eastern North Carolina and other States, and is rapidly de stroying large acreage of soy beans in the eastern half of the State. The complaints were first made known to Hon. B. F. Latham, member of the Board of Agriculture in Eastern North Carolina, who promptly se cured the services of Mr. R. W. Lei by and prove over the entire soy bean section adjacent to Belhaven. Observations made then and expe riments now under way show that the worm can be controlled by per sons spraying or dusting on the af fected plants. AttacKlnsj Sojr-btani. The worm is rapidly destroying large areas of soy beans. Many far mers have already lost thousands of bushels on account of its attacks and some state that they will not get their seed from the area over which the warms have appeared. According to Mr. Franklin Sher man, chiet 01 Uivision or Entomol ogy of the Agricultural Service, the worm is now attacking soy beans, but it is known to feed on other le gumes, including clovers, beans, peas, vetch, alfalfa and various weeds. It is feared that this worm may later attack cow peas, peanuts and velvetbeans. Sherman's Suggestions. Therefore, Mr. Sherman offers the following suggestions for immediate practice: 1. Spray with powdered arsenate of lead (or cal-arsenate) 2 pounds to 50 gallons water, or, if paste arsen ate is used, 4 pounds to 50 gallons. 2. Dust with powdered arsenate of lead (or cal-rrsenate) 1 pound to 8 pounds dust lime or land plaster. Dust enough to whiten. Can use it stronger (equal parts arsenate with lime or plaster) or even pure arsen ate alone the stronger it is used the less should be applied if pure, barely enough to be seen. Regard leas of the dilution with lime or plas ter, at least two pounds of the poi son should be applied per acre. Act QnlcKly. "Spraying may be with compress ed air, knapsack, or field potato sprayer. Dusting may be with sack, or pole with two bags carried horse back, or dustgun. The main point is to get the poison on, quickly perhaps even sowing broadcast by hand in a breeze. If arsenate is not to be had, Paris green may be used, but care fully, sparingly, and with some risk of .burning the leaves: Spray At rate of 2 pounds of Paris green to 100 gallons of water. Dust 1 pound Paris green to 20 pounds dust lime or land plaster. ' WorMnjf 1st the Tops. 'The worms are working chiefly in the tops hence aim at this enough will get on lower leaves to kill many worms. Watch, and if they later attack other parts or other crops, modify operations accordingly, v ', The use of poisons can not injure the beans which are produced. Ad vice will be made public later as to use of the poisoned plants for for age. In case poisons can not be used and the injury : is serious, cut the crop for hay at once, or pasture it to hogs or cattle." v v , Saanmer CeaapUlat la phlMresw .

Batchelor, of New York, ts at home on his usual summer, va cation. His nrst act on arnvinir in Nashville was to call on the editor of The Graphic and give this state ment: 1 have come to congratulate you and every other citizen of the county on the suocess of the Million Koad bond issue. That my native county should have done this hand' some thing fills me to the very brim with pride. It is a milestone in the county '8 development whose import ance the most intelligent and en thus lastic supporters of the movement can now only partially appreciate. Looked upon a generation hence, it will be acclaimed as the county's greatest achievement. Distance is no longer truly reckoned in mileage but in time, and this depend on the facilities for transportation. Land values depend not more upon the producing capacity of the soil than upon ready access to the markets. Every dollar spent in intelligent road building is bread cast upon the waters which will be returned many fold and that speedily The main purpose of this call is to make what I conceive to be a practi cal suggestion in connection with the building of these permanent high way s. i would make them me morial highways, commemorating the victorious ending of the great war, which occurred with the sign ing of the Ireaty of Versailles on June 28th of the present year while your bond election was pending; and in order to emphasize Nash County's contribution to that victory I would erect at intervals ot one mile a monument to each of her sons whose life was given to the cause. I would have this monument consist of a plain slab of granite containing the age and military record ol the soldier. At each end of the two highways I would erect a granite or metle shaft or column, on one side of which I would place the names of all the county's dead; on the other some such inscription as the following: APRIL 7. 1917-JUNE 28, 1919. "TO HER PATRIOT SONS WHO FELL ON FOREIGN FIELDS IN THE FIGHT 'GAINST FREEDOM'S FOES.

NASH COUNTY MAN DIES IN NEW YORK Cate Advices State That Remains Were Sent to Macon, Ga.; Where In terment Was Made. Chief of Police T. W.Bartholomew on Monday - received a telegram from T. P. Morris, of Macon, Ga.', conveying the information that the body of S. J. Sorsby was lying in the Morgue in New York city and infor mation was desired from relatives in Nashville ' as to a disposal of the corps. While the telegram stated that the name of the dead person was "A, " J. Sorsby," it is thought to have been an error in the trans mission of the telegram and that the correct name should be "S. Jf Sorsby," who is a son of the late B. H- Sorsby, and a 1 brother of June Sorsby, V of ;i Nashville.
