The Evening Telegram sees great
possibilities in the joint meetings of
the fire companies from Tarboro,

editor is right in declaring:
"The meeting in this city last week
of the volunteer firemen from Wilson
and Tarboro has greater significance
than that of merely a bunch of fellow-men
engaged in the same line of i
activity and a gathering of good fel
lows. If the purpose fox which this
meeting was called is finally realized
it will mean an increased efficiency
tn firefighting organizations here
abouts, and especially may this ef
ficiency be realized in the instance
of the raging of a conflagration that
may be beyond the ability of the
companies in any one of these towns
to handle. The motorized apparatus
in each of these towns means that
Rocky Mount is within 45 minutes
ol. them, and even less time than
that, and they are in the .same case
of approach to this city. It is a big
spirit of helping the other fellow and
it has already been assured a suc

More than one hundred men, in
cluding farmers and business men
from a dozen or more counties, gath
ered this morning at the fair grounds
for the annual meeting of the Roa
noke and Tar River Livestock Asso
ciation. The meeting was called to order
by President Everett and the minutes
of the last meeting, held at Hobgood,
were read by Secretary T. B. Jacock.
At the suggestion of M. W. Haynes
it was decided to have a booth at the
different fairs in eastern Carolina,
advertising the association.
On motion by Mr. B. F. Shelton,
the following committees were ap
pointed: Committee on nominations,
M. G. Mann, V. E. Herman and J. D.
Hargrove; committee on resolutions,
Zeno Moore, G. A. Cardwell and B.
F. Shelton; the committee on dues
and membership will be announced
later by the president. The dues fere
fixed at $1 per year?
The president announced that the
line of discussion for the present ses
sion would be "Our Immediate Fu
ture." Mr. Currin of the county test farm
was the first speaker, discussing the
boll, weevil as he saw it in South
Carolina. He described the terrible
conditions in Florence, S. C. He said
the normal crop for Florence county
had been 40,000 bales, and this year
the county would produce only 5000
bales. He then took up the matter of
control of the weeyil, first suggest
ing dusting, and warned the farmers
that unless this was done according
to government instructions, it was a
losing business. He next suggested
the gathering of the sqaares in the
fields, and said this Wa essential. He
told those present they should not
only select good seed, but should
have a cotton of the open foliage va
riety.
Mr. Herman, who has just return
ed from South Carolina, said he was
not going to suggest any control but
would tell the farmers what he saw.
He exhibited bolls that had been
punctured by the weevils and also
had in a vial the real weevils and
forms that they had punctured. He
told his audience they could"irever
realize the great damage done in
South Carolina unless they could go
there and actually see.
Mr. Herman suggested three things

during the years from 1919 to 1922
The diocese were organized to carry
on this effort and while the amount
actually .raised was short of the goal
set, there was a large and marked
increase in the amount of money
contributed throughout the church.
The income of the presiding bishop
and council for the general work of
the church was almost doubted and
there was a total increase in the in
come of the church for all purposes
of $10,000,000 in one year. While
only $1,600,000 of this was for gen
eral church purposes, the bulk of the
increase , was applied to the salaries
of clergy.

TOKIO, Aug. 24. Americans who
have been resident in Japan for sev
eral years noticed a very great dif
ference in the deference paid the
American flag flown during Secre

it would have received some months
ago. This was particularly noticeable
during a concert given by the band
from the transport Henderson in Hi

an.'. American 'gathering .of the kind
would have been unpopular to say
the least and "incidents" would in
all likelihood have occurred. On this
occasion, however, the flag and ev
ery American tune was cheered. Am
encan lesidents'put this down to the
fact that suspicions have been wiped
out by the Washington conference
and the fact that Japan has been tak
en in as an equal with the other pow
ers in a great international agree
ment. Americans who know Japan
say the Japanese look upon the lat
ter as a great advance and nothing
could induce them to give up the po
