The Baltimore & Carolina Steamboat Co. brought to Williamston 10 car loads of Ford cars and trucks for the following towns: Washington, Greenville, Aurora, Belhaven, Wind sor, Pinetops, and Williamston. All the cars were driven to their destina tion from the wharf where they were unloaded from the boat. This is only a sample fo the sav ing on freights. Williamston enjoys cheap freight not only on Fords but on all commodities on account of the one little boat running from Norfolk to Williamston twice each week. This is only.a sample of what North Carolina lost when it suffered railroad fy&ioney and ring-tailed politicians to defeat the port bill at the last gen eral election. Every town mentioned above lies on at least one railroad, .some of them on two; but they find it pays to drive 50 miles where there is a port and a boat to get cheap freight. The people will learn some day, even if it is in the evening of the day. INCREASED CRIME AND ITS RE LATION TO THE AUTO Much is being said these days a bout crime and its cause. Nobody can say just what is the cause of all—no one thing is responsible for it all. It is doubtful if there is any one thing that is causing as much steal ing as the automobile. It produces two causes for stealing: One is the opportunity, and the other is the need. Thousands of young men who d& very little, if any, work are running over the country every night, seeing hundreds of places where they can throw a brick or a rock, break a glass, and steal hundreds of dollars worth of goods. They find this to be an easy way to get a living. Then they begin to study the question of and soon make it their "pro fession?^*** Then such young men, and many others, find large demand for money if they are to walk In the modern way, and many people would rather steal than be denied the present-day . ■ good times. There are many stores that are run almost exclusively on stolen goods. Regular groups organize—some to put up\ little scab stores around the 'a • * towns and others to make long au tomobile trips and steal merchandise and haul it to their partners in the other towns.

Other remedies had failed to bring relief and he had all hat gireo up hope of ever recover ing from his persistent eore. One day he ran across a small bottle of the vog established old liniment.

This time, in connection with a political scheme to attempt to dis turb politics in the Southern States. A new scheme of the liquor Con gressmen and allied agent, in which they have assumed the boldness tie use the name of Thomas Jefferson, has been put in motion. John H. Small, the ex-Congressman who has played so many political tricks in North Carolina and in the nation and who tiow heads the corporate connec tion of the State and nation with North Curolina politics, is one of the incorporators and progenitors of the scheme. No one knows better than he how to disturb political waters in such a way that his clients can rake in Hhe profits. It can be said of Mr. Sipall that he delights in helping everybody, and he will do so whenever it is possible without, harm to himself and his clients. It is strange, however, to see a man of Mr. Small's age and wealth dive into the liquor squabble simply for a little more money in his own pocket.

JL Hyman, I let, 192# J6 180 2.16 Anthony SlwrraTl Int IMt 112 IJirt - Things To hink About By JAMES D. TAYLO* Yesterday I heard a story about an old preacher who was* retired by his church at the age of 76. The old man c ' had a horse who had traveled up and down the land with his master but was now also too old for further serv ice. The old gentleman was allowed only s3f> per month after his church retired him so he found it impossible to keep the horse. He asked through the papers if there was some one who would give the old horse a good home, explaining his reason for the request. It is said that approximately 30 re ! plies' came from 30 different people offering to give the horse a home. But not one offered to' help the old man who had given his entire life to the service of his God. Teachers and preachers who do thlf most for us usually receive the small est reward. Reference is made to fi nancial reward, of course. We are always ready to criticise the minister and the teacher. Few of us know of the hard road over which they travel. Few \>f us appreciate the fact that they are giving their all for our own benefit. The majority of the ministers of the Gospel are poorly paid during active service, and it is a disgrace to retire a man on $35 per month when he has given his best to the service of man kind, especially when there is more than one body to keep warm and more than one to be fed. Most of the corporations throughout the land retire their employees on half pay af ter a certain number of years. And those who have been in the service of the Master for a certain number of years should also be retired when they can no longer minister and half of their pay should go on until death, and it should be more than (86 per month. There is a remedy and you and 1 are the doctors. We only have to think more of others and not so much of ourselves. When the church calls on you for funds, be generous. If we church members who claim to be Christians would give just one-tenth of our income, there would be no old preacher's wives taking in washing for a living. There are some doing that at present. When a drive is on for funds for a cause that is good, open your heart and give. register of deed's office of Martin County, I will on the 18th day of July, 1926, at 12 m., at courthouse door in Williamston, N.

G Advises Making Hay While It Is Possible By G. A. CARDWELL Agricultural and Industrial Agent Atlas tic Ceast Line Railroad Co. "One who claims that he knows a bout it Tells me the earth is a vale of sin; But 1 and the bees and the birds, , we doubt it, And think It a world worth living in." —Ella Wheeler Wilcox. The following items from general remarks in a recent report made by County -Agent J. W . Cameron, of Anson County, North Carolina, are laden with importance to farmers of this section. They make a whale of a story; in fact, two separate and dis tinct stories: "E. A. Spencer and M. E. Blalock, lof McFarlan, were' both just finish ing with getting up their hay crops of oats, vetch, crimson clover,, and barley. They had their barns full and overflowing with plenty of cured hay, enough to last them a year." "Tuesday night I attended a farm ers betterment club meeting held at McFarlan at a farmer's home. There were 16 farmers, present. This club has just been organized for the pur pose of doing everything possible to improve conditions in their communi ty. They have arranged to meet ■ once a month at some farmer's home, rotating from place to place. For age and that could be planted at this season of the year was the subject discussed." It is certainly the exception when we find a farm in the South with the barn overflowing with hay; and it is almost unbelievable that it has really come to pas* that farmers of any given neighborhood in the Carolina* have organized a community club for social and farm betterment pur poses. Let the Rotary, Kiwanis, Lions, Exchange, Civitans, and other service clubs of the towns and cities look to their laurels; for when we have a number of farmer groups in the country working for betterment of rural conditions we will get some real action when they get to going good. As crop reports from Virginia, North Carolina, and South Carolina all indicate a shortage of the early hap crops, such as crimson clover, vetch, • ftnd small grains, it may be necessary on many farms to plant emergency hay crops to avoid being confronted **rith a shortage of feed during early summer and midsummer before the main hay crops are ready for harvest Sudan grass may be utilized to pre-' vent a shortage of hay during this period. The advantage of using Su dan grass is that it produces a maxi mum amount of forage early in the season. In order that this may be done, it should be planted on fertile soil which has been well prepared and fertilized. | Sudan grass is adapted to this en tire territory, although best yields are obtained when it is planted on fertile soil and a sufficient supply of mois ture is available. It closely resembles Johnson grass, except that Sudan grass does not have underground root stoaks and therefore can not become atrouble some pest. It is an anual, propa gated only by seed sown each year. The land should be thoroughly pre pared by breaking and harrowing. * j *SsSF-^"~* Beeßrand protects the baby/ The seed may be sown either broad cast or drilled in rows. Best results are secured from drilling in narrow rows and cultivating sufficiently to keep down weeds. Stable manure or some readily a vailable form of commercial ammon ia will produce a decided effect on yMd and should be applied. An ap pncation of from 200 to 800 pounds of acid phosphate per acre is also recommended. A light appllt*tion of nitrate of soda or sulpiwtte of am monia as a top dressing immediately after cutting wil materially increase the yield of subsequent cuttings. If sown broadcast, twenty to thirty pounds of seed should be planted per acre. Six to ten pounds per acre are required for seeding in drills wide enough to permit light cultivation. Thin stands are thickened by the stooling habit of the plant. The seed should not be planted deeper than one inch. The proper time for cutting Sudan grass is after the plants are in full bloom, but before the seed have reach ed the dough stage. Late cuttings than this give hay of less palatabil ity and lower feeding value. If cut ting is unduly delayed, the yield of subsequent cuttings is reduced. The first cutting is usually in six weeks or two months after seeding, and sub sequent cuttings are usually secured at intervals of one month to six weeks. The number of cuttings will depend upon time of planting, weath er conditions, and fertility of the soil. The methods used in cutting and curing Sudan grass hay are similar to those used in cutting ami curing native grasses for hmy Properly cured Sudan grass hay s palatable and relished by all classes of livestock, comparing in feeding value with Timothy, Johnsos grass, and other non-Isguminous hays. Although Sudan grass is closely re lated to the sorghum family, there is but slight danger of prussic acid poisoning when fed to stock. Only three cases are known to have occur red in the United States. In purchasing any seed, care should be taken to insure their purity. This is especially necessary in the case of such small-seeded crops as Sudan grass which may have obnoxious weed seed presen. The most practical method of securing reliable seed is to purchase from reputable breeders :>■ dealers of long standing, who have a reputation to maintain. LEGAL NOTICES NOTICE OF RE-SALE OF LAND.
