GETS A BIG INCOME FROM DAIRY FARM Man Near Greensboro Converts Poor Farm Into A Valuable Piece of Property Greensboro, Sept. 24—Twenty years ago, Jesse C. Causey, who lives near Liberty about 18 miles from Greensboro, bought a poor, run-down gullied, pine thicket—by courtesy called a farm. He paid $800 for about 366 acres. His first payment was $100 and the balance to be paid in $100 installments for seven years. Though he had only $50 to begir with, he soon secured the remaining $50 and was given the place. Mr. Causey broke away from the accepted idea of farming in his sec tion and determined to become a live stock and forage crop man. In spite of all predictions as to how he would fail to make a living, this old run down farm is now one of the most /aluable in Guilford County and Mr. Causey is beginning to be known over the State as one of North Carolina’s best farmers. County Agent E. B. Garrett of Guilford County says of Mr. Causey, “He is one of the best examples of a successful small farmer that I know of. Mr. Causey has no interest out side of his farm, yet he has an income of from $5,000 to $6,000 per year. His home is valued at $30,000, and the whole farm together with equipment is worth close to $100,000 at this time.” Mr. Causey made his money by im proving his soil, milking about 35 cows per year, and selling his farm produce through cows, poultry and hogs. He grows all the supplies need ed on his own place and the money from his butter, poultry, eggs and hams is clear cash. He has used sound methods, worked hard and pro duced a quality product. This is shown by the fact that he sells about 150 pounds of butter in Greensboro each week at a price 10 cents above the market quotation. He has regu lar customers who depend on him to supply them with butter or any oth er produce that he may have for market. M. Causey uses labor-saving equipment on his place and saves his wife and family the drudgery usual ly associated with farm life. Yet this is the man of whom it was said, “He will starve to death on that place.’ TO INVITE GOVERNORS TO “DRY” CONFERENCE Washington, Sept. 21.—President Coolidge has virtually decided to hold the proposed conference of Governors on enforcement of prohibition and other laws in Washington about the middle of October.

CREAMERY By-Products of Creamery Help To Make Florence Industry Pay Dividend That it takes the by-product® of cream to make a creamery really profitable, was one of the significant facts learned by the twenty-five or thirty business men and farmers from this county who visited last Thursday a creamery operated in Florence, S. C. The time which the visitors had to spend in looking over the creamery was short, and the details of opera tion correspondingly meagre, but the trip was well worth while from some | standpoints, according to those who took the trip. The owner of the Florence Creamery has been in the business there only two or three years, and all the time has been improving his plant, so that the dividends so far have not been large. I He runs his creamery on a cash basis. He also buys chickens and eggs, which he advices as a by-product for the former. He induced one of his customers, who happened to be there Thursday, to tell the Johnston Coun ty visitors about his experience. This farmer grew cotton until the boll weevil ruined him. Left with a scrub cow and a few chickens of mix ed stock, he became interested in keeping cows as a money making project. He had replaced the scrub cow with a herd of good breed, and had a yard full of thoroughbred Rhode Island Red chickens which he raised on the milk left after being separated from the cream. He stated j that if he could raise cotton now ; without the boll weevil, he would | stick to his cows and chickens instead, i After visiting the creamery the party went over the Experiment Station located near Florence, and saw the tests in combatting boll wee vil. According to Mr. R. E. White hurst, one of the party, this was a most interesting part of the trip. Ex periments with various kinds of dust ing machines, poisoning in different ways, tests in chopping cotton with varying spaces, were all full of in terest to the farmers. COMPROMISE REACHED IN HUGHES WILL CONTEST Danville, Va., Sept. 21.—The con test over the will of John E. Hughes, tobacco man, who left an estate worth nearly $3,000,000, most of it to charity, was settled this afternoon when attorneys on both sides signed the terms of a compromise which was later filed in the Corporation court. In the original will the heirs-at l^w, brothers, a sister and nieces and nephews receive comparatively small amounts. Under the terms of the com promise they win $200,000, which is divided among them in the ratio of the oiginal bequests. Settlement puts an end to prospective costly liti* gation involved in a suit to break the will and which would have taken probably 30 day* to try.

SHOOTS SELF AFTER RABIES DEVELOPS Hoke County Man Unable To Get Treatment for Rabies Kills Himself • | Raeford, Sept. 23.—Death was just j around the corner for Ben Gulledge, well known white man, who lived about two miles from here, and he met it half way by shooting off the ! i I top of his head. What doctors declared to be the first stages of hydrophobia brought Ben to death's door, and he decided to end it all. Ben was no coward. He endeavored to secure entrance in hospitals for treatment but none would take him. So he came back home to die. He would not prolong the agony either for himself or for his wife and four children. There was a shot gun handy, and after neighbors who had done their best to help him had gone, Ben’s son saw him go into a bedroom. He acted more strangely than ever and the boy feared for his father. Rushing to the door of the room, the youth was horrified to see his father with gun in hand about to end his mortal existence. The son tried to intercept the deadly weapon, but the father was determined to carry out his purpose. Turning the gun on the boy, the father sternly order ed him out, saying that life was nothing to him mow, and he was going to end it all. Hardly had the door closed be hind the boy before he heard the explosion of the gun. The force of the shot blew the top of his head off. Early in the spring one of Ben’s sons carried home a dog that had symptoms of hydrophobia. It was tied out with the hope that it would recover. Gulledge fed the dog occa sionally but did not remember to have been bitten by the dog. Final ly the dog died and he forgot about it. Friday Gulledge became seriously ill with a pain in his neck, but the physicians did not attach any par ticular significance to this at first. Friday night, however, they became convinced that it was hydrophobia. He was rushed Saturday morning to a Fayetteville hospital, but he could not get in. The hospital there isn’t treating persons afflicted with rabies. Then the doctors wired to Raleigh for irsstructions with a similar re sult. There was nothing for poor Ben to do but to return home to die And there he ended it all in the aft 1 ernoon, and today his wife and four children mourn for a father who was ! brave in death as he had been in life. He was forty years old.—News and Observer. Dentist: “Am I hurting you? Smart Patient: “Oh, no; I make it a rule to groan twenty minutes every day for my health.” Justice.
