The land has been bought kn East Suffolk, near the plant oi the Cobb Knitting mill, " ' " This location is an excellent one, on the Atlantic Coast Line and Southe rn tracks, and in the factory district. The Peanut Growers expect to build on their land not only a cleaner, but peanut warehouse. Power of Masonry Saved Lives bf Many Soldiers Ostend, Sept. 23, via London.

Not Against Law to Buzzard Kill The turkey buzzard is one of I the thre'e worst agents by which hog cholera is dissiminated in this State. The other two are free range, and running streams and overflows. Whenever the carcass of an animal is left on top of the ground, no matter what was the cause of death, !the buzzards are certain to ba attracted to the carcass. If the carcass is one of a cholera hog they feed upon it and fly away to some other farm, at times many miles away and they are certain to carry hog cholera germs with them. If these germs are deposited sin reach of other hogs; they are certain to cause an outbreak of cholera. The dmportance of burying all carcasses of other infectious dis eases, cannot be emphasized too much. ? There is s genaral impresaioh among all farmers that the biiz- zards are protected by law. This seem3 to be an erroneous idea. After considerable search of the statute, we have been unable to sfind any law that would protect the ; buzzard. Since there is no question but what the buzzard disseminates disease germs, especially hog cholera' germs,- every farmer would be justifiable in : killing all the buzzards he possibly can.-rr DirB.; B. j Flo we,; LNorth jCaror lina State Ve tcrinarian; -Pro- r. - Tlje meetiijfc-araca and Philathea ClasseiSandRun: Baptist church met iii the h'opgeif ' Mrs.-: W- R.

During the session their should be a meeting at least once a week in each school house. At these meetings there: should be recitations and music by the- Bchojars.-In addi-4 tion there should be reading';, of some good : agricti)timurndAiis cussion of ; the -questions involved in the different articles In the paper. ' In every school district there should be a corn club, a pig club, a tomato club, a pecan tree club, and other various clubs to develop love of doing the things that are to be done On a ywell regulated farm. Of course the school teachers should be the central begin ner in this work... The Board of Agri culture could not spend two thousand dollard to better purpose than the em ployment of four competant persons to visit the scholars and take charge of the social, service. Many of the counties in the State have such sys tems and several have ladies employed who have this work in hand. The children should be placed on clubs with work suitable to their capacity, 'This is not the first time that the Ledger' has called attention to this matter. It is an essential, question. Our boys and girls are entitled to this training. It is the duty of some one to give it to them. Whose duty is it? W, C. T. U. Organized Mrs. Geo.
