The extremely long, dry spring fire season that covered the entire six months of 1930, together with the mis taken notion held in some sections that woods burning would control boll weevils, was responsible for much of the increase in the number oFTTresT Compilation ( of fire reports show 136 fires due to brush burning, ,161 to hunters or fishermen, 23 to rarl-j roads, 10 to lumbering, 68 to incen diarism, 85 to smokes, 43 to miscel laneous causes, and-'53 of unknown' origin.

[ GETS GOOD YIELD FROM TOMATOES John C. Bell Haa Alrealy Shipped 967 Baskets to Plymouth Cannery; Inxtruct Ah To Handling ♦ : John C. Bell reports that his tomato 1 crop is yielding favorably and that he ■ has already shipped 967 baskets in the last two weeks to the cannery at Ply mouth. Representatives from the can nery came over last week to show Mr. Bell and other growers the best meth ods of handling the tomatoes. The cost of growing tomatoes is not | large, compared to some other crops. 1 People in the county are watching' with considerable interest the efforts | of growers here and there to begin | raising tomatoes on a commercial | scale. If as many as 400 acres are planted next season, so that the pro posed cannery for Windsor can be as sured of plenty of tomatoes, it is like ly that the concern will locate such a plant here.—Bertie News-Leader. Finances of Edenton Reported in Good Shape For the first time in a number of , years, there is no deficit in F.denton's I town funds. A recent audit conducted j showed that the town was in excellent financial condition. The total Receipts during the past fiscal year were $.13,455, while expen ; ditures totaled $32,745, leaving a bal ance of $745. Various accounts paid j during the year included interest of $8,135 on new paving bonds and notes to the amount of $11,816. The town is reducing its bonded debt | at the rate of $14,950 annually. Careful administration of the city's finances by citizens who give their services'for only a nominal sum, is attributed to be_ largely responsible for the healthy financial condition the i town is in. THE ENTERPRISE AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF JUDGE ASA BIGGS 1 (Continued from page one) without appealing to passion, firmly but temperately arguing principles and I was triumphantly sustained by the people—obtaining a handsome ma jority over both of my opponents. Cooper receiving but 25 votes. By this I was transferred to a new theatre and the Session of the General As sembly' was stormy and excited, the parties being equally divided in the Senate, and the responsibility of tak ing a prominent position in the de bates and proceedings being thrown upon me! but here as elsewhere I en deavoured to discharge my duty with fidelity to the party I espoused, and the great principles of administration in which I believed the good of the country was involved. This public service gave me considerable promi nence in the State and the approbation my feHow citizen* was sttfficient to gratify any reasonable ambition and although it interferred to some ex tent with my domestic affairs and somewhat .with my professional duties i f very cheerfully made the sacrifice, as a duty I owed to my family and my! country.

This Woman In 4 Weeks Lost 19 Pounds of Fat Here's a letter written October 21, by Mrs. Fred Barringer, of Lewistown, Montana, that ought to be read by every overweight woman in America: "Gentlemen: I first saw your adver tisement in a Billings, Montana, paper ■and decided to try Kruschen Salts. I started taking them every morn- 1 ing as directed, as I was very much overweight and wanted to reduce. I had tried going on a diet, but would get so hungry that my diet would not long, so I decided to give "Kruschen Saks" a fair trial. The day I started to take them I weighed 256 lbs. and at present, which has been Miles of Conveyors in Ford Plant . xttf I J i|iJß i [/ Thla picture thowi two type* of conveyor* In use In the Rouge Plant of the Ford Motor Company. AN ENDLESS chain conveyor, three and a half to four miles k lone, said to he the longest In the world, has Just been completed at the Houge Plant of the Ford Motor Company at Dearborn, Michigan. On It parta of Ford cara In the proce: i of manufacture are transported from one building to another and completed parts are carried direct to railroad cars for shipment to branch aasembly plants. The conveyor, which carrtea Ita cargo on suspended books, has a dally capacity for 300,000 parts weighing over 2,000,000 pounds. It supplants freight cars and trucks which have been used for the transfer of many parts from one point to another In the Ford .plant. This longest conveyor of them all Is a development of the Ford policy that nothing should be done by manual labor that could better be done by machine. In the early days of hla manufactur ing career, Mr. Ford devlaed the as Friday, July 25, 1930. just four weeks,: 1 weigh 239 lbs; And I must say, I feel better in every way, besides looking much better. Kruschen Salts had a decided effect upon the quantity of food I took and stimulated my desire, to greater activity. I have recommended Kruschen Salts to many of my friends; in fact, have a number of them taking Kruschen Salts. May all large people, both men and women, who want to reduce in an easy 'way, give Kruschen Salts a fair trial. I am sure it will convince any one." A bottle of Kruschen Salts that lasts four weeks costs but 85 cents at Clarks Drug Store or any drug store in America.—adv.. aembly line—a moving track on wblcb cara in the process of assembly went to the workmen Instead of the work men carrying parta to tbe car. The assembly line, perfected In many waya. Is now used by automobile manufac turers generally. Tbe value of the conveyor In reduc ing physical labor. In ssvlng time. ID preserving ayatem and in cutting ooita soon became apparent and Ita uae waa extended to other purpoaea about tbe plant. Now there are literally miles of conveyora of varloua types in tbe Ford plant Some of them carry parta from one building to another and are care fully aynchronlied ao that the parta arrive at preciaely the right moment and In the exact apot where they are needed. Others transport red hot In gots of Bteel weighing nearly a ton each. Still others move outgoing ship ments. If It wen not for th» conveyora, ac cording to offlclala of the Ford Com pany, mass production would not be possible on Its preaent acale.
