Jess Willard outpointed Frank Moran in their ten-round slug ging match, which was staged here to night before 12,000 spectators, which made- up the largest crowd that ever saw an indoor pugilistic contest in New York State. The champion's best fighting was done from the third round on, despite the fact that he broke his right hand during that period, according to his manager, Tom Jones. A small bone on the back part of the hand was fractured when he shot a right smash to Moran 's jaw. No one in the vast audience knew of Willard 's mishap until the battle was over. The bout was a surprise, inasmuch as both men battled as hard as they could from gong to gong. Moran was the rgeassor in all but two rounds and he frequently rushed the champion to the ropes. However, his timing was poor, and he exhibited but little box ing skill. Willard landed three punches to every one by Moran, but the Pitts burger seemed to have more power behind his wallops. Willard failed to show the won derful boxing ability with which he has been credited, and Moran had no trouble breaking through his guard. The champion took seven out of ten rounds. Moran won the third on points and the eighth and ninth were draws. Jess Willard was the first to enter the ring, climbing through the ropes at 9:37 o'clock. He was accompanied by his mana ger and Chief Second Jones, Walter Monahan, Jack Hemple and Ray Ar cher. Willard appeared to be excep tionally cool and at ease, and stepped across the ring to shake hands with Frank Moran, who arrived three min utes later. Moran was seconded by Willie Lew i8, Frank Kendall, William McKennon and Joe Kelly. The time-keepers weie: for M-, ran:" Geo-ge Consiuine: for Willard: :rry Weiss and for the club: Dr. Muth. Willa-d wore soft bandages, which were wrapped tightly aorund hi knuckles. Moran 's bandages, in sharp contrast, extended well above -his wrists. Willard was clad around the loins with heavy red worsted tights while Moran wore dark green trunks of a similar texture. While the two heavyweights sat in their corners, Bob Fitzsi'mmons, J. J. Corbett, Kid McCoy and John L. Sul livan were introduced in turn, the last of the quartet being given a tre mendous ovation. All the former ring stars shook hands with the principals of the big bout. During the ceremonies Moran ap peared annoyed and nervous over the delay, while Willard leaned back on the ropes and smiled a non-commit-al smile. He frequently looked across the ring to Moran 's corner, but the challenger appeared to avoid the champion's eyes. At 9:49 Eeferee Charley White entered the ring and called the two heavy-weights to the center of the ring to pick their five ounce gloves. The official weights were announced as follows: Moran, 201 pounds; Wil lard, 259 pounds. Referee White ordered the principals- to the center of the ring at 9:45 for final instructions. Bound One.

ANNUAL TRIANGULAR DEBATE Boys and Girls of State High Schools to Consider the Query: "Besolved That the U. S. Should Adopt the Policy of Enlarging its Navy." Chapel Hill, N .C, March 28. 13 hundred boys and girls from 325 high schools in 94 counties of the State, will on March 31st, participate in the pre liminary debate on the subject ' ' Re solved, That the United States should adopt the policy of greatly enlarging its Navy." In North Carolina High Schools, from Manteo and Dare Coun ty in the East, to Murphy and Cher okee in the West, over two thousand yound debaters worked on the subject for many weeks. The occasion is the annual triangular contests of the Hgih School Debating Union and each of the two thousand debaters was spur red on by the desire to represent his high school in the triangular debate. "Each school has picked its team two for the affirmative and two for the negative and now the ultimate hope of each team is to win the Aycock Me morial cup. The schools winning out in the tri angular contests will send their teams to Chapel Hill. There, two teams will be selected to participate in the final debate which is to be held Thursday evening, April 15th. Only six counties in North Carolina have no representatives in the contest. They 'are: Brunswick, Clay, Graham, Hoke, Madison and Watauga. Five of these are situated either in the ex treme West; the sixth is in the Pied mont section. April 14-15, the date of the final de bate at Chapel Hill, will also be the date, of the fourth inter-scholastic track meet and the first annual inter seholastic high school tennis tourna ment.

" Among the schools contesting in the Tennis tour nament are : Greensboro, Trinity Park School, Chapel Hill, Normal College High School, and Raleigh. ' ' fc ! amily Newspaper: For the Promotion of the Political SlpI Agricultural and Commercial Interests of the I " : 1 1 i Uses and Abuses of Fertilizers By Prof. R. J. H. De Loach, Director of Georgia Experiment Station. 4. FERTILIZERS The Fourth of a David Dickson, after a life of useful . service to his felifite-man and a life of success as a farmer, had the following to say aboitf the use or guano: "i say that farmers can make every acre of their lanCrich if they will. Providence intended the earth should increase in fertility as rapidly as it does in population. Every man that assists in removing this dor mant guano, lying idle and useless on the Chincha Islands, attd puts it in circulation, creating therewith food and clothing, is a beneiactor to his kind. The country suffers for want of a snare of the surplus fertilizing material. Remove the deposit and apply to crops, and it wSl enrich-'the land." - i.i . "I commenced to use guano in 1846, and gradually increased the use of it until the present time, never having omitted to use it a. my crops excepting the last year of the war, when I could not obtainUt. With the proper system of rotation of crops, and returning all the crbpi )to the land, except the lint of tfee cotton, land may be improved wittePetuvjan guano alone, but not so fast as when you combine with tfiecS?Tair the ele ments of the plants to be grown. Ammonia being necessary JSr all plants, I know of no crop that it would not benefit. It will pay best upon those crops that bring the most money cotton being that crojLlin this sec tion and tobacco in other sections." It will be seen from the above that Mr. Dickson profited i-eatly by the use of guano. He knew well the value of ammonia to growftf crops, but you will observe that he knew quite as well the value of othliHplant foods to the crop. He got better yields when he applied all the eleilfats of plant food than when he applied ammonia alone. Also observe that &ije considered It good business to apply fertilizer. He was a business mants well as a farmer, and knew all the keen points in the business world. If;?; Views of Another Millionaire Farmer. p? The Hon. James M. Smith, another millionaire farmer of Georgia, who died only a few weeks ago, had the following to say with! Reference to the use of fertilizers on farm crops: - p KZhe use of fertilizers has become one of the most imports! factors In Southern agriculture. It is a powerful agency in producingHn increased yiem -a tiling we should desire and work for. We certainly-believe in the use of commercial fertilizers, but we also believe in the turtfyig under oi vegetable matter, the sowing of legumes and the saving of all farnyard ma nure. The up-to-aate farmer will not consider one of these, bBi all four of them, m trying to increase his farm crops." : - Each of these two farmers, who have done much to stimulate farm im provement learned the value of fertilizers, but learned equally ell the value of diversified farming. They would not decrease the use of fertilizer but diversify more. They would have us use more fertilizers, so iat we could grow more plants and vegetable mater, in turn plow this wider, and in this way increase the fertility of our lands. The most effective farming of today involves these two great principles. Use fertilizers and diversify the crops. Rotate and feed the plants, and you will increase your yfolds, be more tion!1"6 PlaUt dlseases aad brinS yovLV farm into a high stae of cultiva- Put Back Plant Food in the Soil. If growing crops take plant food out of the soiland -we do not plow un der an amount equal to this, or get it from some other source and apply it, our land is sure to decrease in fertility and in value. This is ft; fact beyond dispute. With most of our crops we take from the fields a large amount of nitrogen, phosphoric acid and irotash, which never goes back, to the place on the farm from whence it came. We should see to it, then, that? Some kind of plant food takes its place. In the case of cotton, we sell the seed and with them large amounts of nitrogen and other elements of plant f ood Very of ten we burn the stalks,-and in this way take from the field uiuch more valuable plant food. It is sucidal policy for us to remove from the soil more plant food than we restore to the soil. . ' .. On a. Bandy fax-io. in ono ot the StnttheA-Sttwr1 ed by its original owner and sold for fifty cents per acre, a litttle barnyard manure and heavy applications of fertilizer made another farm rich The last farmer used $15 worth of fertilizer per acre and raised 1,400 pounds of seed cotton per acre. This was about a bale per acre on the entire farm The $15 investment in fertilizers and good breaking and cultivation netted the thrif ty farmer more than $5j per acre when cotton was bringing a high price. All the experiment stations and other institutions have found that ferti lizers applied to farm crops under good conditions pay a feandsome dividend on the investment. It generally means the converting of a nonpaying farm into a profitable farm. This, after all, is what we farm for, for profit as well as some pleasure. The average farmer gets large returns for fertilizers wisely used. If fertilizers do not always pay, It is because farmers waste instead of use them. - BASE BALL AT ROCKY MOUNT Boston Braves to Play Ryanites Game on Easter Monday Big Crowd Expected to Attend. Rocky"Mount, N. C, March 2C With Manager Ray Ryan on th scene and players arriving during the past week, matters are taking definite shape with the Rocky Mount Club of the Virginia League while the public will be given the opportunity of see ing them in action for the first time in the exhibition classic on April 3, Monday, when they meet the Boston Braves. The Boston first string club possessed of Evers, Maranville, Gowdy, and a great majority of the players that made the world's champions of 1914 will be seen in Rocky Mount on April 3rd the first Monday in April, and incidentally the same date that the New York Yankees clashed with the Tar Heels last year. Twenty-six men including a round dozen of the regulars brought over from last year's Virginia league chamiions make up the squad from which the Tar Heels will be picked this year and some of these men are already on the scene. There will be but one major league club to visit this section of the State this year and. in picking a major leag uer the Rocky Mount management has suoght the one in which there is the most general interest and this is be lieved to be the case in the Stallings squad. JThe fact that the season will swing into blast with this game, and the general interest in the Boston club it is believed will cause an even larger attendance this year than last. The game is to be called at 2:30 and speeial arrangements have been made for the holding of the Spring Hope and Plymouth trains until after the game is over. These trains, with their connections, will cover a great ex panse of territory in eastern Carolina and will accommodate hundreds. There will be no reserve seats and 50c for adults is the tota lcharge. Charles Staton Successful Applicant. Mr. Chas. L. Stotan "' of Scotland Neck ,has been notified by Hon. Claude Kitchin that he was the suc cessful applicant standing the civil service examination at Halifax Decem ber 11th, 1915, for mail carrier at Pal myra. There were twelve applicants for this route, Mr. Staton standing the test. He has been recommended to the department, and the appointment will follow shortly. This route carries to the carrier a salary of $1,200 a year. SCOTLAND NECK, N. C; TUESDAY, MARCH 28, 1916. i AND FIELD CROP8k Series of Six Articles CAN SHIP A TON FOB PBICE OF PHONE TALK. Mr. Lewis' Argument for Operation of Wire Service by the U. S. Government. (David J. Lewis in Case & Comment) j It costs the American as much to ship his long-distance conversation over the wires, mile for mile, as it ; costs him to ship a ton of freight on ; the rails. -'The railroads get, on the average, seven mills a mile for mov ing a ton of freight. The Bell sys tem charges 6 mills a mile for carry ing the three-minute communication. Readers can realize how weighty their conversations sometimes are. They weigh about a ton on the long-distanee wires. What about the consequence of our high rates? To reduce the traffic to a point as abnormally low as the rates are high. Combining the telegrams and long distance messages, we find that other countries use itc wire from two to four times as often as we. In the field of the electrical communica tion the foreign postal system uses the one wire for both telephone and telegraph messages, sending both at the same time. Hence, they have but one system of pole lines and wires to maintain. Here we have the Western Union, with 200,000 miles of pole line; the Postal with 130,000, and the splendid Bell long-distance system, a , better telegraph system that either; i which is not carrying telegrams public ly, at all. Three private bills of main- tenauee, and but one for the postoffice. I . . . The postal systems are also ' utilizing the automatic telephone, by , which the exchange operators, half of ' the personnel, are dispensed with. Al ; together, with only -one-third of the ! pole lines to maintain, with one-third personnel to employ, and the co-ordination of the whole with a postal re gime already in operation, it is not extravagant to claim that we can Real ize postal telegraph and telephone rates as low as in other countries, as we now do with our letter and the parcel rates. Elias Howe, whose sewing machine was the first to come into popular fa vor, was not the originator of - the idea, as an Englishman had made drawings of such a machine in 1790, and another was in operation in, Par is as early as 1830.

Collins Recants the Crime for Which He Must Die Edward Collins, who was on Friday sentenced to the electric chair on "he 28th of April, by Judge Robert Peeb les, at the Halifax term of eourt last week, is calmly counting the days in the county jail at Halifax before he forfeits his life for the murder of Deputy Sheriff Charlie Hawkins. He has received no visitors except the Methodist minister, Rev. E. D. Dodd of Enfield, who was with the prisoner an hour Saturday afternoon. According to a gentleman in Halifax who tried to force the conversation from the prisoner, the candidate for the electric chair is in a repentant, shrinking mood. He sits in his cell, calm and pale with a far away look in his closely-set black eyes, as curios ity pass his cell door. He doesn't seem to notice the presence of visitors or the jail attendants. As yet the prisoner has not com municated with relatives or friends. There has been no mail coming to Hal ifax for the condemned man. Clean-Up Week Now at Hand. Next Monday morning Clean-Up Week will begin. Will you help do the work? The cooperation of every citizen is necessary. Let the work be gin on the premises of each individual. The back yard and ally should be thor oughly cleared; the front yard and the sidewalk not forgotten. All trash that can't be burned will be taken away under the direction of the City Mar shal if left in convenient piles. Own ers of vacant lots are urged to give them attention and the business men are especially urged to clean up both front and back. Let us make Scot land Neck the cleanest, healthiest and most beautiful town in the State. THE CIVIC LEAGUE, Mrs. G. W. Bryan, Pres. J. E. Shields, Mayor. Many Fans .to Attend Game. The Commonwealth understands that several local baseball fans will go to Rocky Mount April 3rd to witness the game between"" the Rocky Mount club and the Boston National League team. The fact that "Buck" Darden, a local boy, has signed with the Rocky Mount team will probably be a drawing card for a large number of Scotland Neck people. Manager Ryan has not as yet announced the pitcher for the open ing game with the Bostonians, but it is possible that he may select "Buck" in the opener. "Clean-Up" Week. To the Editor: We learn with a great deal of in terest that the ladies of the town, through their organization, the Civic League, have designeated the entire week beginning April 3rd as CLEAN UP WEEK. There is not a citizen in Scotland Neck but who knows the great need of such a movement and each one should make it his personal business to cooperate with the ladies in their efforts. They urgently request each merchant and house-holder to have their premises thoroughly clean ed and the trash placed in some re ceptacle so that it may be easily han dled by the wagons. The town com missioners have readily agreed to haul all refuse promptly and it will greatly expediate this work if you will give prompt attention to the cleaning up of your premises. We unhesitatingly and earnestly en dorse this movement and call upon each member of the Board of Trade and all other citizens to give their hearty support. Respectfully yours, Scotland Neck Board of Trade, By Norfleet S. Smith, Secretary. March 27, 1916. An Emharrasing Question. Drury Underwood, who writes fun ny things for the papers, comes out with a poker story in which Blanche Ring, the popular comedienne, has the fat part. . It appears that Miss Ring had never taken up poker until a year or so ago, when she allowed herself to be blended into a family party. At the outset the game had few thrills for her and she sat in more as a duti ful relative than as an impulsive game ster. This apathy was shown in a pot wherein she was the fourth player in line. The first three had spoken with chips, but Miss Ring was silent and absorbed. Her cards were folded on the table, un handled, and she sat in a position somewhat strained. Her at titude gave no hint as to whether she was in the pot or out of it. The con tenders, all trying to conceal solicitude kept still for awhile but finally one of them asked: "Blanche, what are you going to do with your hand?" Miss Ring flushed a bit and replied, with a toueh of asperity, "Well, if. you must know, I'm fixing my garters." -- Book of Smiles. Subscribe to the Commonwealth. People SPRING HILL ITEMS.

"Colonel" Linotype Has Visitors. The big new linotype of the Com monwealth, since its installation on last Friday has had many visitors. To the majority of those coming in to see the machine in operation, it appeared almost a mystery, operating with the precision of a human. Almost every one coming in to see the type-setting machine wanted to know where the paper was coming out. It evidently was their opinion that it worked some thing on the same principle of a multi graph. Local Lodge W. O. W. Growing. Hickory Camp No. 505, W, O.

Boy With Gypsies Not Little Jim Glass The posse that left Friday under the charge of Chief of Police Gray, acting under orders of Governor Locke Craig, traced he white child who was supposed to be Jimmie Glass, kidnap ped by a band of gypsies in Pennsyl vania some months ago, to Petersburg. With the assistance of the poliee force there Chief Gray secured the child and made a thorough examination of him, going by a description furnished by the father of the lost boy. The only likeness at all was the flax en hair of the boy and his size, the other marks of identification being lacking. Thoroughly satisfied that the boy was not the one in question the posse returned home Sunday night and wired the Governor that it was a ease of mistaken identity. A Regiment of Bedheads.

Who wouldn't fight hard in the regiment now being recruited for Un cle Sam as the "Redheads?" Every man in this new volunteer organiza tion is to qualify, first of all, by the fire in his hatch. The redder his hair the heartier his welcome. The editor of a magazine published in the special interests of dventurers is sounding the call to colors, and redheads are flocking by dozens round his gory standard. "The main point," he contends, and we agree with him ut terly, "is that the redheads ought to be one of the best fighting units, and one of the best known, that ever took the field." Aye! Not only will they take the field when the time comes they will sweep it! Since red is not protective coloration, this regiment should be reserved for charges against the enemy. Colliers.
