Cotton bolls were exam ined from numerous fields in tour dif ferent counties, and in almost every case extensive weevil damage was found. In many eases nearly ripe bolls had been punctured and live gyubs were found inside bolls that from external appearances seemed to be in perfect condition. 1 In one plant examined at random' from a field between liqjpigh anti .Wilmington, nine out of ten bolls • were found to be weevil damaged nnd In many other cnseH fully have t'ne bol.s contained grubs.

The speakers called attention for the need Os more and closer contacts between the business men and the farmers, and pointed out how such contacts might become mutually ben eficial, both'from a bnsiness and so cial standpoint. The fact that farm ing is essentially a business and Te- ■ quires business methods if it is to succeed was also emphasized. The part which State College is try ing to play in helping the farmer solve bis problems was outlined by Dr. 1. O. Scbaub, dean of the School of agri culture, who said that only a small 'proportion of farmers who could bene fit from. the college really do so be cause of their reluctance to ask ques tions or seek help in solving their problems. But even so, more than fifty requests a day are received by Dean Schaub tor information of some sort relating to tlie farm and Its prob lems. But in order that more farmers could get the benefit of the 1 college’s information the extension system was started, in order to take the college to the farmers through the farm ageqts ’ Mild the home demonstration agents, and last year the seventy-seven farm agdnts and fifty demonstration agents actually reached ten per cent, of the farm population in the state In their homes, and are reaching more every day.

Tribune Bureau Sir Walter Hotel I Raleigh, Sept. 11, —Is a public spanking in store for thp Western Uuion and postal telegraph companies because P.iey have refused to pay their taxes, cr is the decision by Governor MeLean to permit the Corporation Commission to employ experts to com bat the application of these com panies for higher rates based cn noth ing more than the desire to savy the public as much money as possible? Certainly the latter consideration is a valid one, as it is good politics, if nothing else. But many see in the. announcement, by the governor that P-ie move for higher rates is to j be fought vigorously, n deft and cf‘ fective slap at these telegram com panies, who so far have resisted the State tax oil their pole mileage, and which have not yet paid their taxes for 1025, which amounts to about $25,000 from the Western Union and $5,000 from the Postal.

Sept. 10—Bishop Grace, of Portugal, for months venerated by Charlotte negroes as a faith healer, today was asked to leave the city by Chief of Police West and Chief of Detectives Orr. Negro ministers said tonight that Grace was planning to leave on the Irst train. Decision to request his departure came during the meeting today of negro ministers attended by a rep resentative of the ministerial asso piatiion of white ministers nnd chamber of commerce. The negro ministers stated that during the services of Bishop Grace their congregations had been dwin dling and that the alleged healings ■ performed by the preacher had been , “somewhat off color.” The immediate spur to action, however, was the al leged fact that 600 Charlotte negroes were to be baptized Sunday for $3 each.

Tribune Bureau Sir Wa'.ter Hotel Raleigh, Sept. ll.—Can you con ceive of $32,000,000 worth of eggs ami chickens? Yet that is what the poultry industry is worth each year i to the state of Nebraska, with but half the population of North Carp rllnii and in a climate wife the rais ing of poultry is much more difficult than in North Carolina. But i’.ie value, of ,the North Carolina poultry j crop was approximately only S2O,- j 123,080 in 1025, as nearly as can be! »tiiuMed from existing records. Hence ! is'rfeit the jState of Jtg- Wcuitif believes that witg' a popiifa -tjon soluble that of Nebraska, the crop in this state should at least be doubled, and instead of aj‘ i $32,000,000 crop it should at least be i I a $50,000,000 crop within a few years. Tile following interesting facts were j derived from a careful comparative study of poultry statistics in North Carolina and Nebraska by V. W. Lewis, of the state division of mar kets, and who is familiar with the puoltry needs of the state from close contact with the sifuption all over tjhe In Nebraska the poultry crop is •divided three ways, one-third being consumed on the farms, the other two thirds being marketed, with the poul-1 try sold being about two-thirds the value of the egg crop. According to the latest statistics there are 11,015,257 head of chickens 1 in Nebraska as compared with butj : 7,393,101 in North Carolina, or only • 63 per cent, of the number in Ne braska. Translating these same fig > ures into dollars and cents, it is found : that if the Nebraska crop amounted to a Commercial value of $31,046,000. ■ the North Carolina crop value would I be 63 per cent, of this amount, or $20,125,980. Although that is quite • a bit for eggs and chickens to bring, ! still it is far below what they should ’ bring, considering the population of 1 North Carolina, the ideal weather con -1 ditions in almost all sections of the > state for poultry raising, and the proximity to eastern markets, accord- J iug to Mr. Lewis. | 20,000 HOUSES SAID TO BE UNDER WATER Severe Rain Storm Flooded City of Hirishimi in Japan, Endangering Many Lives.

What Win Be the Probable Effect of This? Tribune Bureau Sir Walter Hotel j Raleigh, Sept. 11.—Attachment of James H- Pou, of the Raleigh bai, to the defense staff in the Rev. George Wood ease raises the question in the capital as to Kie probable effect on thy judicial mind that this employ | ment may have. • AlwJi's it has been, considered a capital stroke to have this master jury pschololiist in calling distance. Mr. Pou never prosecutes in such cases | aud he has away of letting the jury see that he dislikes the employment of far away places then their balls demand the asking of human life. But last year shortly afte* Mr. Pou had starred in the defense and ac quittal of W. B. Cole, who killed Bill Ormond, Mr. Pou was called to the aid of Jesse Wyatt, police detective, who killed Attorney Stephen Holt. It was noticeable that tbe public mind was against Mr. Cole. The employ ment of Mr. Pou carried the sugges tion of desperation. Mr. Wyatt got tbe benefit of this feeling—’he was found guilty of manslaughter. It is observed iu the Cole case that he profited by terrific propaganda against him; nearly all the newspa pers were full of stories on him. The state moved to another county for a , jury; it did Mr. Cole a favor by get ting him into a county in wbit’h there was no sentiment either way. But most of all Mr. Cole is beileved to have gained from publications that were intensely hostile to him. 1 Not .wery Frenchman knows that i M.

New York, Sept. 11.—-Students of American history will recall tomorrow' an tke one hundredth anniversary of tbe abduction of William Morgan, which event marked the beginning of one of the most stirring chapters in the early history of the United State*. William Morgan and a David C. Miller, both residents of Batavia, N. Y., had made public announcement of their Intention to publish an expose of Freemasonry. Before the hook was produced Morgan was arrested for a trifling debt and lodged in the jail at Canandaigua, N. \\ On the night of September 12, 1826, he was secret ly taken from the jail by unknown parties who carried him to Fort Ni agara, at the mouth of tbe Niagara River. He was never heard of af terwards and the supposition was that he had been thrown into the river and drowned. ' l’robable violence to a person so < obscure never produced so much ex- 1 citemeut throughout the country. An ■ earnest attempt was made to discover 1 the perpetrators, but without success. 1 Such was the feeling against the Free- 1 masons, that it gave rise to the birth i of a political party antagonists to Masonry. Under the name of the Anti-Masonic party it held its first na tional convention at Philadelphia in 1830, with Francis Granger presiding. Thurlow Weed, the eminent New ' York journalist and politician was one of its staunch supporters. By 1832 the party had become so strong ■ that it placed national and state tiek - 11 ets in the fie’.d in the election of that year The national ticket was head ' ed by William Wirt, the Virginia statesman, as the candidate for Pres ident of tiie United States. In the election Wirt polled upwards of 80,- 000 popular votes and received seven electoral votes. Within the next few years the party rapidly lost strength and before the next national election it had totally disappeared. I Perhaps the best part of old age is its sense of proportion which enables us to estimate misfortunes, or wnat seem to be such, at their true pro portions.
