FROZEN NO JOKE EITHER If anyone told you, dear reader, that a man had his hand frozen last night, when dozens were sitting out in New Bern's public square, covering the door steps acrow from the Elk's Temple, trying to get a breath of fresh air, you would doubtless laugh. But that thing did hsppen, within a few feet of the corner of Pollock and Middle streets. While Mr. Geo. B. Waters, proprietor of the politician's rendezvous on Mid dle street, was endeavoring to connect a tank of liquid gas to his soda fountain, the nut blew off the top. In trying to replace the cap Mr. Water's fingers were frozen, and now his left hand is covered with largo water blisters. The injury is a very painful one. Daily Edition Aug. 20.

On good roads they had been able to neeotiate 160 miles of distance, but from Suffolk to Jackson they encountered a deep sand that held the day's travel down to 90 miles. But they encountered some worse roads than this, though less of it, North of Baltimore. This was an old discarded toll road where the driveway was filled with pebbles and rocks some of them as large as a man's fist. The total distance covered was fifteen uhndred miles.

Never before in the history of the State of North I Carolina have the farmers been so J thoroughly interested in matters per taining to agricultural interests as they are at present. The State Con vention has been called to meet at Raleigh on August 27-29, and at this conference the agriculturists of the State will discuss the best plan to gain proper recognition and advancement for the welfare of the farm and farmen Dr. C. G. Hopkins, of the Illinois ' Experiment Station, one of the greatest" agriculturists in the United States'Will be present and explain to the fanners of North Carolina how fertilizer bills can be reduced more than one-half by using the proper methods. The successful marketing of farm crops is a subject widespread in im portance, and Dr. J. L. Coulter, of the Census Bureau, will give a talk how the farmers can more profit ably conduct their crop selling methods. Dr. Coulter has organized more than three hundred successfully operating farmers' .societies in the Northwest, and now comes to the aid of the far mers of the Old North State. Charlie Parker, Jr., of Hartford County, N. C, champion boy corn grower of the world, will tell how he produced last year 235 1-2 bushels of corn on one measured acre of ground. North Carolina has now twice beaten the world on single acre yields of corn, and the farmers of the state are now anxious to spread the good work around so that all may learn how to get the same increase. There will be a big parade of live stock of the State College, showing three breeds of dairy cattle, two breeds of beef cattle and a fine lot of thor oughbred Percheron horses. In. the parade will be the great cow 'Edna, the animal that produced $600 worth of milk in the past year, basing the . selling price at ten cents per quart. This cow is indeed a great object les- son of herself. Costing only a hundred dollars in the begininng, her feed for the year amounted to $115 and care $35.00, making a total for keep of $156, , leaving $450 as net revenue for the animal. Three- fourths of the far mers of the state did not make that amount clear of expenses for the same year. What an easy life the farmer would have by owning one cow of this, kind, spending his whole time In her interests, and be sure of $450 as his , income. Why not own a dozen auch cows? The great Jersey cow, : ?'Nabob, will also be in the parade.. In eighteen days' time this cow produced her own weight in milk. She has a record of eighty-five pounds of butter per month. Extremely low rates have been given by the railroads of the State, and a record breaker attendance is assured. ' of the Astor household uhtu early in September.
