Foikshee, proprietor of Elkc Dairy. Mr. Foushee followed this field of barley with **oy beans, which he sowed about the last of June. He iias fifteen acres in soy beans and a sample he showed us yesterday afternoon measured f ur feet. He says with a few more rains he expects for it to average hotter than five feet, and will get more hay than he got from the barley. This is the second crop" from this land, and it is in better condition than before he gathered his barley crop. This is what we call geod farming, and we recommend bis j method to our farmers generally. rv Joy In Labor "The gospel freely admitted makes ! a- man happy, it gives him peace; with God, and makes him happy in-l G6d. It gives to industry a noble, j contented lock which selfish drudg- ! ery never were; and from the mom- ? ent a man begins to do his work ' for his Savior's sake, he feels that 1 the most . ordinary employments are ? full of sweetness and dignity, and that the most, difficult are nr?t im po>sihle. And if any of you. my friends, U weary with his woi'k. -if i - r\ ' with vourse'f or sorrow of ank kind disheartens ~you,.i if at any time you feel the dull paralysis of conscious sin, or the de- j pressing infulcnce of vexing thoughts, look to Jesus, and'be happy.

Stalvey, Supt. *ri Reports ng Of Co-ops Spokesman For the Three Re ceivers of- Tobacco Market ing- Association INTIMATES TROUBLE Mr. Marti:. L. Corri, of Xesv York, acting as spokesman for the t hree receivers of the Tri-State Tobacco Grower' Association in- session here this week, iaid: ".Many grower members will urT doubtedly get less than was 1 ;ined_ I them by banks oh their certificates." I The statement was made telatic to "participation certificates" ;:iven by t co-operative association to t'i',we;s for fifty per cent of the "bank's valuation" of the crop after advances fcr the rirst half of the value had been given. This was the I' financing system - used by the asso ciation during its first three years. It >vas stated that maay bariks made loans to . growers up to half the value of these "participation certificates," taking the growers' note at the same time. In the event that the final pay.! I ments to .the farmers from the re : ceivership are less than the adv?nces. the individual farmer can be .-ued on his note by the bank. Mr. Corri stated. Mi'- Corri stnU*d that the receivers I. now held 57,000,000 pounds of tobac co on which loans amount t about ?5, 000,000 or around 10. cents a p:und. !!e said that receivership expenses Would hot carry t his above 11 or 12 cents a pound, leaving my excess for the growers. He stated that so far the experience of the re ceivership had been satisfactory and that "we have affected extended eco-_ nomics in operatic n reducing the pay-roll to one seventh of what it was six months ago, showing that the old management was extremely extravagant and that the tobacco can. be bought and sold more eco nomically by receivers," Mr. Corri, however, admitted that "it is very hnrd to estimate What the outcome will be." The receivers- Who in addition to Mr. Cctri are Hallet H. Ward, of Washington and J. M. Pcu, of RaU eigh. met here today with Vederal Judge I. M. Meekins to take up rou tine affairs of the receivership. The meeting lasted all day until late to night. , ? four Noi'th ? Cumlina ? Ttttdrfieysr ware ? named, by Judge Meekins for the receitets.

FIRE DAMAGES PLANT OF CITYJCE COMPANY ^ Fireman Experienced Soou* Trouble in Getting at blaze; Proved very Stubborn MACHINERY DAMAGED Fite originating in one of the big: bl wer motors about midnight Mon day nigbt, practically destroyed the roof of the City Ice Company near the depot. T>? flames were mainly centered in the roof of the tanlc room, and burned about the only part of the brick structure which eoald burn. foremen experienced seme trouble in getting. at. the blaze, which prove<i -very stubborn One stream of water was played steadily on the big am monia coils to keep them from burst ing, in which 'event everybody would probably have been driven from the vicinity. tn addition to fcMe roof, some of the machinery was badly oamaged and will have to be re placed. Damage will amount fc> between $800 and $1000, with no in surance. Mr. M. K. Long, owner of the plant, when seen this morning stated that tS?y could cctitinue ? the mina facture cf ice, and if necessary an additional supply would be ordered from Durham. He asks the kind indulgence of his customers if their ice has a cloudy appearance. This in no way affects the ice, and will be remedied as soon as new mach inery arrives. Old Times In Allensville y Sever :il years ago we mentioned i'tWh. fact jfcHat. AHetKsyillei township was now reckoned as cne of the i best and most progressive sections I of this good County; but a friend i from d wn there says' things are i changing .nrfa not for the better,. ' that while the blockade liquor is hit s? good as it once was.* thA onan- . tity is increasing rapidly; and while in former years they had "gander puttings," now they have chicken j.hootings. or s omething akin thereto.

Mr. Parker Perkins, who lives just outside the corporate limits/ says he has cared ten barns of tobacc.?, and three. of them are as fine as he ever raised. And that means something, for Parker is r.oted for raising fine tobacco, He fias three good points to his credit, he <ays: "He never worries over thhigs he can not help, that he always ~ sells his t' bacco in Roxboro, and . sells wihf4 Tobe Pass at the Hyco Ware house.
