Then seema to have, been some eon- '' fusion among the boya aa to whether ; or not they have enrolled in the ooys MID lub. Last winter Mr. L O. Schaub, associated with the farmer's eo-operative demonstration work of tha U. 8. Department oi Agriculture, sent to the teachers of the county a blank on which to enroll all the pu- nils who wished to enroll in the Boy 'a - CornrClub with the request that this information be gotten by the teachers J and returned to him. 1 am quite sure that number of names were sent in. l.Thia enrolls them in the U. 8. Corn , Club, but does not enroll them in the State club. Nor does it enabla them to compete for the State prises, I feel aura that some of those boys who responded to Mr. Schaub's re ' quest think that they are members of the corn club of the State. - Mr. Park er writes me that he will have $1000 to tie given away in priaea this year and that tha Progressive Farmer, which is co-operating with him in this work, lias something like $1000 to be - given away also. - - , Jointly, this will make about 2000, ' to be given to the successful boya of the State. Mr. Parker aaya that he is " going to receive all the applications that are sent in during the mouth of June. Now, boya, look, over the Bat ' ' aa given aove and jtj&M T your name in the list, and you want " to compete for the pries,t write j at once to M T. B. Parker, of Raleigh, for application blanks.

Tha BoOlharn Railway and Xta Tat-'l-J, ployaa Baach Axreemant, - Washington, June 10. A general strike of 2,400 Southern Railway ore- men waa averted today by the aue- tesa of mediation proceeding which have been in progress for two weeks. Just before noon today the media tors nnder the - Erdman act, , Judge Martin A. Knapp, of the commerce court and Dr. Charlos P. NeilL Com missioner of Labor, brought the par ties to the controversy to an amicable agreement. The terms of the agree ment were reduced to writing and signed by Southern officials and the firemen 'a committee. The terms agreed upon were perfectly satisfac tory to both aides. A desire to main tain friendly relations between the railway, system and the firemen at all times was manifested, and, 3 in the end, concessions were made by each side, Neither railway officials nor fire men would make a definite an nountiement of the terms of settle ment. Questions of some delicacy were involved in the adjustment and it was felt that the firemen 'a com mittee might better have opportuni ty, at .first hand, to explain the terms to the men of their various, di visions before ihey were made pub lic. The employment of negroes as nremen figured largely in the con troversy quite as largely in fact, as the- question of wages. Immediately after the firemen s de mands had been disposed of officials of the railway held a conference with representatives with the engi neers of the road, who are asking for wage increases of approximately 25 per cent. It is not expected that a settlement will be reached for several days. The engineers are making no strike threats and while they nope to have their petition granted, it is un derstood that they do not contem plate an effort to force compliance. Delegations representing the con ductors and trainmen are here wait ing to present claims that will be considered as soon as. the railway set- ilea with the engineers. "Everybody's Day' at Davia Springs Hiddenite, N. Ci, June 10. ''Every body's Day " at the Davis White Sul phur Springs, although the weather was unfavorable in the morning, was well attended, the crowd was esti mated at a thousand people. More than two hundred took dinner, count ing the regular guests. The crowd, besides having a social time, seemed to enjoy the music furnished, not only by the Old North State 1and, and who are equal to almost any band in the State, but by the Pied- month orchestra of the, hotel composed of four blind boys of the blind insti tution of Raleigh, who are with the hotel for jthe season, and who were complimented by a number of mu sicians on their playing. The crowd was entertained ac night by a moving picture outfit, given out of doors, Bhowing scenes of the civil war, etc. The Davis Brothers have 60 guests already, and have the best prospects for the season they, have ever had this early."-. 'Oil Sprinkling a Success. Charlotte Observer. Relative to the suggested sprink ling of Charlotte streets with oil, a resident of thia city, who has just re turned from Concord stated to an Observer man yesterday that the capital of Cabarrus, -widely famous now of its experiments with , the Edison dry storage battery trolley less electric car, has also been do ing aome experiment in the realm of atreet sprinkling.

The Raleigh correspondent of Sun day's Charlotte Observer has the fol lowing: "Internal revenue officers say that the near-beer dealers here, and throughout the State for that mat ter, are preparing to take out liquor licenses again June 30, the, plan be ing for their places to go right on after July 1, when the act of the last Legislature prohibiting near-beer sa loons goes, into effect all over the State. The leading dealers are free to admit that they do not expect to close out their business at all. They wilftake out' the government license to relieve themselves from the sur veillance of the revenue officers and then they will sell ibrands of drinks that will eliminate the beer idea. The liquid may and will probably very much resemble beer, they say, but there will be no beer or near beer brands and that the- bottles will be different. The applications for re newal of government licenses are al ready coming in in - anticipation of the expiration or the present licenses July 1. . The change of the sise of the bottles and the brands tbey bear, is said, will constitute the princi pal changes that will take place in the near-beer saloons and their ser vice. The near-beer men insist- that they will comply with the law. and thev will be relieved of the State and local tax they have had to pay here tofore." - " - Locke Mill Defeats Gibson.

Rev. R. E. Atkinson, of Davidson, is president. Opinion is much divided as to the probability of Gen. J. S. Carr enter ing the race forth Senate. He in sisted months ago; thatihe would not enter at all, but recency there have been "knowing intimations" that he was about to be prevailed upon to get into the race. H was Senator Simmons' opponent in his former campaign and that-primary campaign was one of special spirit and consid erable bitterness. The indications seem .favorable for a large attendance at the annual meet ing of the Southern Textile Associa tion to be held in Greenville, S. C on July flraW. The segsipas will be held- on Hatriraay extern son and even ing, a time most convenient for mill men to get away from their regular work; and Greenville is centrally lo cated for a large percentage of the present membership.

The Singing Class from the Oxford Orphanage has started on its secon l tour. The demand for the splendid entertainment which these children give has grown so much that it has become necessary to have the tour of the State divided into three trips instead of two, as has been the case for some time past. This enables them to take two resting spells instead of One which-makes the work more ea sier on them. The Hottest Day. Many think yesterday was the hot test day ever known here.

One left the widow a thousand dollars. 22 left widows minus the thousand. It would require at least a thousand dollars to give the lot a very modest burial.
