EASTERN NO. 11. A large crowd of friends and rela tives gathered at St. Martins Church near Bostß Mill Sunday at 2 p. m. to pay their last tribute of tender re gards to Mr. E. T. Coggins, who died in Charlotte last Thursday, an ac count of which has been noted else where in this paper. The funeral ser vice was held by Rev. Mr. Surratt, of Charlotte, from the text, ‘‘Take heed, watch and pray.” The pall bearers were the nephews and the flower girls wece little nrece9 of the deceased. Mr. Coggin was reared in this neighbor hood and spent the greater part of his life here, going to Charlotte four rears ago, where he was engaged as a mechan c. It was a great shock to his friends here to learn of his tragic death, which cast a gloom over our en tire neighborhood. A series of meetings is in progress at St. Paul's Church at Bost Mills. Some of our folks attended the coun ty commencement and report a rally day for Sunday schools. Born August 16th to Mr. and Mrs. Vance Cline, a son. C. B.

Christenbury has a small barrel which holds about a teaspoonful of water, and her father carried it through the civil war. If you can beat that for a small barrel, trot it out. We were very sorry to hear that the Gibson team, representing Con cord, was bursted up on account of the grandstand blowing down. We hope that next year they will have as good a team and better than this year's team. Mr. Robert Christenbury, of West Virginia, spent a few days last week with his mother, Mrs. R. O. Christen bury. Mr. and Mrs. Tom Hooks are spending a few- weeks with their son, Adam, in Charlotte. The corn tops will be ready to cut before many more weeks. CAROLINA KID. The Late George W. Dry. George W.

COX. 1 Thomas Dixon Buys ual For Studio In Western Carolina. Asheville, Aug. 22.—Thomas Dix on. famous novelist and playwright, has purchased 700 acres of land near Little Switzerland, 18 miles nort of Marion, for the purpose of erecting a studio according to information re ceived here tonight. Work ' oa con struction of the studio will begin at >nce, it is stated. “Well, man’s conquest of the air ia certainly an achievement,” said Gush'.y. “Yea. I a’posa it la,” said his Mend, Wet rag. “but the trouble about -conquering the atmosphere ia that the darned thing doesn’t know ♦************♦! $ $ IK AGRICULTURAL COLUMN * $ $ IK (Conducted by R. D. Goodman) $ * A * ************** Emergent crops for DROUTH STRICKEN AREAS By C. B. Williams, Division of Agron omy, State College. I Because of the prolonged dought in the Piedmont and mountain sections of the state, many farmers in these sections will have difficulty in provid ing enough feed this fall and winter I for their work and other livestock kept ion the farm. The college feels that in this emergency the wisest policy ; will be for them, should rains occur , within the next few days, to plant now such crops as will be suitable to provide hay and grazing. If seeded on or before August 15th or 20th, German millet and Sudan grass for the central and lower Pied mont sections and German millet alone for the upper Piedmont and the less elevated sections in the moun tains will be two as good crops as may be relied upon for the production of hay. The land for each of these! should be well prepared now just as , soon as possible and a seeding of 40 to 50 pounds of German millet and 20 to 25 pounds of Sudan grass seed per acre should be made. It will: require about two months from the j time of planting for these crops to de velop fully for hay. The cutting' should take place when the seed heads are in full bloom in order to get the best quality of hay. In case frost! threatens, the crop should be cut j whether or not they have attained this stage of development. Local coun ty agents and merchants will render aid to the farmer in securing seed of good quality promptly for seeding purposes. Orders should be placed at once and land put in shape so that the seeding may take place just as soon as the seed have arrived. If the seeding is delayed in all proba bility these crops will not be able to produce the maximum yield before frost. As an emergency crop for fall and spring grazing, Abruzzi rye should be seeded just as soon as possible on fairly good land at the rate of about five pecks to the acre. If put in properly with reasonably good care to see that the rye is not grazed too severely or when the land is wet. this crop should provide a goodly amount of grazing for the fall and spring. Where spring grazing is ex pected from the rye especial care should be exercised to see that the stock does not graze too severely for if this precaution is not observed the young plants may be so weakened by the fall grazing that they will not be able to come through the winter satisfactorily, especially if the winter is a severe one. Each of the three crops mentioned above should at planting receive an! application of 300 to 400 pounds per acre of a fertilizer mixture contain ing 10 to 12 percent available phos phoric acid and about 4 percent of ammonia. , Excursions. Every farmer should visit his neigh bors several times a year for good fel- ( lowship and to know what they are doing. We learn our most useful lessons by contact and by associating with those engaged in the same kind of work. Neighbors should take time to cultivate friendship and to have enough interest in oue another’s work to derive both useful information and pleasure from it. It usually takes some leader to bring a community together and to create friendliness. The burdens of life are materially les sened by congenial neighbors and by taking an interest in the other fel low’s activities. The automobile has extended the neighborhood and made it possible for farmers to know their county well, to visit different sections of their state, in fact, the automobile gives opportunity for farmers to know con ditions in several states. Automobile tours among the farmers have become, fashionable and more of them should j be taken. They give opportunity for j both pleasure and gaining informa- < tion concerning the best farm practices In their state. Farmers are specialists no matter I how many crops they may grow. It does not require a long stay on any successful farm to learn what crop re ceives the most attention and the one the farmer prefers to grow. A visit to several good farms will invariably reveal new information. It may per tain to alfalfa, corn, potatoes, feeding cows or calves, or something else. It all depends on the crop of greatest interest to the farmer. Here the val ue of tours comes in, because the farm er comes in contact with many spec ialists. Besides, TSurs have a heapof pleasure in them. —From ‘Hoard's Dairyman.” Dr. Daniel in North Carolina. Clemson College, S. C., Aug. 24.—' —Dr. D. D.

There have been several types of automatic or sc mi-automatic signal ling devices Invented from time to thnsh and some of them undoubtedly have merit, particularly for night driving where they have proved very efficient, but by means of proper hand signalling, much more could be done to avoid accidents than is done todsag, Care should always be taken to signal with the horn when approaching cross-roads or sharp turns in the road or at any other time ska your road-sense tells you that there might possibly be danger.

FATAL ACCIDENT ; Mecklenburg Mm’* Automobile Kill* I Iredell County Woman. Statesville, Aug. 24.—Mrs. Effiie Sherrill, 81 years of age, died in a local hospital late yesterday afternoon as a result of injuries sustained when I she was struck by an automobile while 1 crossing the Statesville-Charlotte high way near her home at Ostwalt, w.iich is midway between Statesville and Mooresville. Mrs. Sherrill was walking across the road on an elevation just south of Ostwalt when a car driven by W. W. Newell, of Newell, came north towards Statesville. Mr. Newell blew his horn for the aged lady and instead of her going in the direction which he expected, she stepped backward in front of the mov ing oar and was knocked to the paved road, receiving injuries about her head and bruises elsewhere on her body. Mr. Newell placed her in his car and immediately brought her to Dr. Long's sanatorium in an unconscious ) condition, death coming five hours later. People of the community, while ex pressing the deepest regret of the tragic affair, feel that it was purely accidental and unavoidable. THREE DOCTORS MAY LOSE THEIR LICENSE Durham Physicians Cited to Appear Before Medical Board in Greensboro September 15th. Durham, Aug. 23.—Following the action of the State medical board in calling Dr. E. H. Bowling, a well known local physician, before that body several weeks ago and revoking his license after making a thorough investigation of charges against him growing out of his trial in federal at Raleigh on a charge of violating tiie Harrison narcotic act, three other local medicos—Drs. N. P. Boddy, W. A. Strowd and I. J. Stoner—have been cited to appear before the board at Greensboro on September 15th to show cause why their license also should not be taken away from them. Dr. Bowling and the three doctors mentioued above were of six local phy sicians who were caught in the drag net spread here by federal officials several months ago in an effort to break up dope peddling in Durham.

It is well-night impossible for an 'outsider to visualise the tremendous sweep of activity throughout Florida | which is commanding the attention i of the nation to a greater extent than . any other state in the Union ever aid. I The double-tracking of the Florida | i East Coast Railway from Jackson- • ville to Miami; the proposed expen , diture of about $25,000,000 by the. Seaboard Air Line, including the $7,- 000,000 already paid, for the build ing of its extension last winter to (West Palm Beach; the movement of . the Frisco to build into Pensacola; the plan, likely to be successful, for ■ the Georgia & Florida to build down . the West Coast to Tampa; the build ing of many hotels, costing all the way from $1,000,000 to *7,000,000 I each; the vast construction activi ties in the building of dwellings, I * apartment houses, highways and other work all over the state, besiwak a prosperity almost boundless in ex tent. The announcement of the building ! 1 ! of a cement plant to have a daily I capacity of 500 barrels—and Flori- I ■ da’s consumption of cement will i , probably soon exceed that amount — the beginning of a $75,000,000 house- , , building contract at Coral Gables, , , tho initial work involving $0,000,000 ', 1 of bouses, for which the contract has ( been awarded; the beginning of work p on the $15,000,000 harboi scheme at i Hollywood, with General Goethals as , i consulting engineer; the tremendous l crowds of people from all part of the ; country which are flocking to Florida • and already overcrowding hotels, railroads and highways, all bespeak . a progress to which there seems to be no limit. This progress, however, we are , firmly convinced, is not ephemeral, , and will not be confined to Florida, but will soon ’spread over the entire South. Already there is great activity . on the Mississippi coast, where real i estate operations and projected hotel i enterprises are in keeping with the activity in Florida. Along the South Carolina coast, at Charleston and other points, great hotel schemes and i go f courses are projected, and come ; of them already are under eousiruc- j tion. The Augusta resort hotels, magni ficent in appointment and equipment, j . are so crowded every winter that , . across the river on the South Caro t lina side there is to be built u $5,- ' 000,000 resort hotel, ami $5,000,000 more is to be expended in betterments of many kinds, including many win ter homes. This enterprise, financed by a Chicago man, involves $10,000.- . 000 and is only typical of the spirit , that is abroad in the West as to in . vestments in the South. In the sandhill region of North . Carolina there is rapid progress, and I the hotels are rarely, it ever, able -to , take care of the crowds that throng | into that section during the winter . reason. Os western Carolina it may , be said that words fail to express the activity and the progress of Ashe vi ie. Hendersonville and other points which have become noted as among the leading resort places of the world. Asheville’s progress almost matches the best that Florida is doing, with a few exceptions.

Fort Worth, Dallas Galveston and many other places are growing | with remarkable rapidity, while the Gulf Coast of Texas is making an I active bid for the development of tho citrus and trucking industry in competition witn the ocst that Florida can do. Turning from Texas to Arkansas and Oklahoma, one finds a reviving spirit of enthusiasm and of activity. We believe that what Florida is doing, practically incomprehensible even to men on the ground—for every man who studies what that state is accomplishing becomes dazed with its progress and its futun—is merely the precursor of that tremen dous revival of enthusiasm, of de termination to succeed and of untir ing energy which is awakening the people of the South to their limit less potentialities. But ns Florida is being crowded with men and money that are pouring into that state as they have never poured into any other state in the Union, so we be lieve that the time is uot far distant when every state in the South which utilizes its opportunities, which goes at developmental work with the spirit which has created the Florida pros perity, will help speed the sweep over the entire South, from Virginia to Texas, of a wave of opt inram, a spirit of enthusiasm, and spreading ' from the South to the North and , the West will crowd the railroads of 1 the whole South with people seek ing investments or homes in this see j tion. While millions are being lured :by tho charms and attractions of | Florida, millions of others would prefer the higher Piedmont or moun tain regions of the South, or other parts of thin section where climatic and agricultural and industrial ad vantages are entirely different from those of Florida. We are on the eve of a spurt of activity from one end of the South to the other which will justify the old saying that throughout this land is to be heard the music of progress— the whir of the spindle, the roar of the gurnaee, the throb of the loco motive.*’ A great industrial region- 1 — a nation, indeed, is being rounded into form; and the people of the South will no longer have to go else where to find abounding activity, and the people of the North and West will in the near future realize that Florida is on'y one of the sixteen Heavotv-bltwsed states in which op portunity awaits the investor and the liomeseeker. ] December SO, 1880, Coldest Day.— August 20, 1925, Hottest. | Charlotte, Aug. 24.—The dignified leathern books in the office of the ; Mecklenburg clerk of Superior Court i waited 45 years for a mate to the | thrilling weather record which Clerk ■ John R. Edwin was moved to per- I petuate December 30, 1880. | The merucry dropped almost out I of sight to a point four degrees be low zero on that wintry day. It was left to James M. Yandle, the present clerk, to match the age yellowed record with Charlotte’s hot test record, 1032 made Thursday. The two records are duly certified on fly leaves of docket books, volumes which are designed to remain as rec ords as long as Mecklenburg remains a county. USE PENNY COLUMN—IT PAYS
