WANTS A NITRATE PLANT IN SOUTH RAINFALL AT ALTAPASS .SETS NEW U S. RECORD Raleigh, Aug. 12.--Rainfall of 22.22 Inches at Altapass in Mitchell coun ty during the 24 hours preceding 2 p. m. on July H is believed to have established a nev record fo rthe Uni ted States according to Lee A. Den- ' son, section director of the weather bureau here, who has completed his ; report on the flood in thiB state last month. ' (Mr. Denson said that so far as he knew Alexandria, La., previously had V led the country with 21.4 inches In a similar period. Mitchell county was hard hit and at Altapass 11 per cent are said to have lost their lives. A New Record. Washington, Aug. 12. Weather bu reau officials here today confirmed the Altapass rainfall report as a new record. The greatest rainfall in any 24 hours previous to the July storm was that recorded at Alexandria, La., on June 15, 1S86, when 21.4 inches fell. BUSIEST DAY YET AT CAMP GLENN A Minute Inspection Is Made Instructions Are Given Notes From Camp. j Camp Glenn, Morehead tity, Aug. 12.

SUCSIuCf . - Richmond, Vju 1,000 men, took a ten-mile hike. It was the first time the troops had turned out to the size of a regiment for such a formation. The men came back hot and dusty, and made a rush for the showers at the bath houses. Lieutenant Bell, I Company, Eden ton, told me that the total stops for rest did not total half an hour and the whole hike was done in four hours from 7.30 to 11.30 a. m. More than this, the men were In heavy marching order, each with a 30-pound pack on his back. There were some strag glers, but none fell out. This was an excellent and unusual showing, and what has been done in other regi ments only in battalions. Few laymen can foretell what this will mean to the North Carolinians when they get to the EI Paso district. Three weeks more will make them progress almost In ge ometrical proportion. Those regi ments that went in a hurry were not, in some cases, examined physically or mustered in until they got to the bor der, with consequent havoc to their best resolves. Not a few will be re turning soon, because of lack of prep aration before hand, and North Caro lina will be taking the place of some brought back. Having followed the experiences, through the press, of the other organ izations, rather carefully, it Is my Arm belief that the North Carolina troops on their arrival at their desti nation wiU not be equalled by any or ganization of the National Guard throughout the country. Co-operation of all parties Interest ed in agricultural development and the progress of the south, to secure the location of the proposed $20,000, 000 government ar nitrate plant to the South, Is urged in a statement Is sued by Charles S. Barrett, president of the farmers' Union. ? Mr. Barrett caution that "the well meant but unfortunate competition" over the location of the nitrate plant, threatens the chance of any Southera water power being selected for de velopment. He believes it is important for all parties interested to work to gether for some one location In the central South where ample , military security In time of war will be pro vided and the largest agricultural need will be served, at the lowest cost for transportation and for raw 'material. "Myi personal opinion is this plant should be located in the central South where 76 per cent of our annual prv- duction of commercial fertilisers Is used," said Mr. Barrett. "If it be found that 'Muscle Shoals In the Ten nessee River In Alabama, or any oth er location m or near the centre of the South and Southeast, fulfills these conditions, furnishing adequate pow er and access to raw material and to consuming markets, tfiat place should certainly be chosen. This Is a prob lem for the government engineer to determine after careful investigation." (By CAPT. W. B. CHBI9TIAN Camp Glenn, Morehead City, Aug. 11 The departure of General Young and family yesterdayi emphasized the dispatch sent last week, saying that he said he would close up house here preparatory to departure. In addition to the three married men already reported as discharged are added Azman and Peacock. Twu applications have not yet been heard from and six applications have been returned for more information. The work of making out the form of 'discharge and the details has been "fierce" on Captain Wooten. ' Pay Day Last Saturday. When officers and men were paid oft in the First N. C. Infantry laat Saturday, the amount paid was based on forty-two days from June 19, the day of the "call," to July 81; total, 42 days, 12 days in June, 30 In July. Everyi man in the army la paid for 30 days, no more, no less-4n every month, whether it be February with only 28 days, or July with 31 days. Privates get GO cents a day; corpor als 70 cents, sergeants (1.00 and so on. A corporal gets less than a cook. who gets $1.00. Yet the department will let off the cook on a "married man's application," but will not ap prove the discharge of corporal or other non-commissioned officer. Them) non-coms" they do not like to lose, whereas It Is thought cooks mayt be more easily replaced than a cor poral, which brings up the mighty question for some debating society, "which have exerted greater Influence upon the human race, corporals or cooks, or do the Forsyth Riflemen prefer their corporals to their cooks?" Anyway, when the men stepped up, one by one, theyt were nandea out brand new money by Mayor Raleigh T. Daniel, paymaster, and here Is what they got for the 42 days: Captains, $280.00; first lieutenants, $233.34: second lieutenants, $198.34; first sergeants, $63.00; Q. M. ser geants, $42.00; sergeants, $42.00; cor porals, $29.40; musicians, $21.00; cooks, $42.00; artificers, $29.40; pri vates, $21.00.

Fairbroth er in the Greensboro Record says: These Initiations of secret orders are not at all funny. Those who as sist In the work of torture think It Is funny, but it isn't. A few days ago a Shriner, well known In Masonic cir cles, was telling us about some of the fearful drillings the members recelv ed those who "wanted honors." He said that one old man was dressed in a Mother Hubbard and set upon a chimney about fifty feet in the air and suddenly toppled off into a great box of crushed ice. For awhile It was thought he would, die. He also told us about electrically wired beds where, when it happened candidates had not said their prayers before re tiring, a button was pressed and tor ture ensued. He also related the pleasures of the electric garden, where men were fenced tn the park and the juice turned on and the crowd laughed. It was his opinion that such foolishness had no place with Masonry a great order. But it seems that In order to give zest and interest to these orders K is necessary to have "fun." We are glad to say that many orders have cnt out the horse play. However, Mr. Jesse Agnes got his money's worth but be couldn't get a judgment against the Woodmen of the World. Riding the goat is one of the penalties for wear ing the emblem and maybe it is worth while. But we doubt it. WHAT $30,000 DID FOR GOOD ROADS IN SURRY Tilot Mountain, Aug. 12. Shoals townshlD recently voted bonds U the amount of thirty thousand dol lars, the money to be need in grading and top-soiling the roads in that township, and from the number of miles that have been graded and are now being top-soiled, and the amount of cash in the treasury, it is an evi dent fact that the money has been conservatively spent, and the people of the township will soon be owners of A 1 graded and top-soiled roads. of which they are lustly proud. Fourteen miles of road in Shoals townshiv has been rtaded at a cost of nine thousand dollars. The amount of cash on hand to top-eoU this 14. miles of road Is eleven thousand dol lars. The highest estimated cost to comnlets the soiling is six thoosana dollars, thus leaving a balance of five thousand iMlara, Interest arswto, GEN.

Destruction of what is estimated to be $300,000 worth of Intoxicants proceeded here today, witnessed by a tremendous crowd. As the work progressed the novelty of watching hundreds of boh tles of beer smashed against the sides of a warehouse and whisky poured from barrels into gutters soon wore off an dthe procedure became mono tonous. : Russell county and state-' officers who yesterday procured a second court or der to destroy the liquor' began the work last yesterday, but ceased after a small quantity had been thrown away. If the rate of destruction main tained today continues it will take several days to do away with that which belonged to the five men af fected by the court order. BAINBRIDGE COLBY IS SUPPORTING PRESIDENT New York, Aug. 11. Bainbridge Col by, who nominated Theodore Roose velt for the presidency at the Progres sive national convention In 'Chicago, last night declared himself in favor of the re-election of President Wilson. In a letter to Vance McCormick, chair man of the Democratic natiqnal com mittee, Mr. Colby accepted an Invita tion to act on a Progressive committee which is to have a co-operative rela tion with the Democratic campaign committee. Mr. Colby asserted that the opposi tion to the President's r-election "pro ceeds from an unregenerate Republi canism." of which Charles E. Hughes Is a "decoy and retriever." If Mr. Hughes were elected, Mr. Colby added, "the old guard" would "rope him and tie him, as they did when he was gov ernor in Albany, reducing him to plain tive futility." ESTIMATES LOSS ABOUT $4,500,000 Flood Damage Throughout the Santee and Peedee River Sections Heavy. Charleston, S. C. Aug. 11. Flood damage to railroads, bridges, roads, crops and other property thruout the Santee and Peedee river sections is conservatively estimated at $4,600, 000, according to a statement issued today by Richard H. Sullivan, sec tion director of the U. S. weather bureau, at Columbia. Mr. Sullivan, who Issued a lenghty report of the flood which early in July extended through five states, said the total property damage tn South Carolina amounted to two mil lion dollars. Movable property valued at $400, 000 was saved through weather bureau warnings, Mr. Sullivan added, and stated that the floods In South Caro lina affected 3jO,000 acres of crops, the total damage to which probably never would be known. Referring to the heavy rains Mr. Sul livan said that during the period be tween July 14 and IS the rainfall along the Broad and Catawba rivers ranged from 18 to 24 inches. PETITION TAKEN 0 WHITE HOUSE Six Thousand Employes of One Road Protest Against Proposed Strike. Washington, Aug. 12. A petition of 6,000 employes of the Nashville, Chat tanooga and St Louis 'Railway, not members of the brotherhoods, was presented to the president today, ask ing Congress to pass legislation pro tecting non - organized employes against a tie-up which would result from a strike of union members. R. T. Frazier, of Nashville, Tenn., who took the petition to the White House, said more petitions would be sent to the president in the near fu ture. The ' petition expressed the hope that "some definite legislative action be taken whereby the vast majority of the people of the country shall be protected from any destructive Inter ruption of interstate commerce due to the Belfisi: action of a small group of men and that all differences which may arise between the railways and employes shall be settled by proper arbitration." BOYS AND GIRLS IN A DAIRYING CONTEST Raleich. Aug. 11. A contest is now being held by the dairying division of the A. and M. College and the divis ion of dairying of the North Carolina experiment station among the boys and girls of the State between the ages of ten and eighteen years for the purpose of instilling into North Caro lina's future farmers a keener appre ciation of the value of systematic rec ord keeping. The contest was started the first of July and is now well un der way. The rules of the contest provide that the contest will end June 30, 1917, which will give the contest ants ample time to work out tneir year's records and get an insight Into the business side of farming. The purpose of the contest aside from drilling the boys and girls into the methods of keeping systematic records is to Impress on them the value of weeding out the unprofitable cows from the herd. Some cows are boarders, who neverr pay up, while others pay their own upkeep and the upkeep of others. By a process of records the "unprofitable cow will au tomatically eliminate herself. Instruction will be given the con testants in using the Babcock test for the sampling of milk for buttterfat. Several bulletins are to be Issued in the meantime and sent to those who enter the contest. By writing to the office of dairy experimentation at West Raleigh full information will be sent to any white boy or girl in the state. CANNOT GO WITHOUT HEALTH CERTIFICATE Columbia, S. C, Aug. 11.

R. Winters about Forsyth Coun ty's Bee Club work, in which he gives County Demonstrator Bruce Anderson credit for being the pio neer bee promoter among the de; monstration agents of the South. The article is reprinted below. The accompanying picture represents the members of the county agricultural clubs. Among the persons in the group are. the members of the Bee Club referred to in Mr, Winters' article. "I find that boys take as kindly to bees as to pigs and chickens when their Interest Is aroused," writes Bruce Anderson, county agent of For syth county, North Carolina. He is the pioneer demonstration agent in the South to include lessons in bee cul ture as a work of the county agent. The United States Farmers' Co-operative Demonstration Work has rec ognized the value of his efforts and provisionally Incorporated bee-keeping instruction to farmers in its de monstration work program. It was in the spring of 1914 that Mr. Anderson Inaugurated an effec tive campaign to revive bee culture in Forsyth County. His twenty years' personal experience with bees was, of course, a valuable asset. He got together twenty men and women in a county bee-keepers' organize tion. The Insolation of the farmer was an obstacle in maintaining a strong and unified club, so the plan of instruction in bee culture was carried from farm to farm by the county agent. The original one-unit organization was broken up into nu- SERIES OF PICTURES OF FLOOD SECTIONS TURKEY REFUSES TO GRANT U. S. REQUEST Washington, Aug. 11. Turkey has refused to grant the request of the United States that a neutral commir sion be permitted to undertake relief work in Syria, where thousands of Christians are reported to be starving. NEW PROPOSAL Mr. J. L. Hatch, of the law depart ment of the Southern Railway, with headquarters at Salisbury, spent the morning In the city. Mr. Hatch pre sented Mr. Clement Manly, counsel for the Southern, with a remarkable series of pictures of the conditions during the flood in and around Ashe vllle. One presented the expanse of water about the passenger station, with the water near the top of the train sheds. Another suggested the remarkable strength of the concrete bridge built by the Southern, against which large residences and factory buildings lodged, and were dashed to pieces against the structure without the slightest damage to the concrete. Much of the debris from the building passed under the bridge, and another pboto showed the heap of debris just below the bridge. The condition of the freight yards shows a long train flood-bound in wa ter almost to the top of the cars, and hundreds of other cars were swept from the yards.
