WAREHOUSE READY
Mr. A. B. Bass this morning show-
H in 4hn Smitharnpr thp nnnpra that
he has just received from Raleigh
1 He stated that he was ready now
with all the necessary outfit for the
receivine of the cotton from the
signers of the cotton contracts.
A large commodious platform has
just been completed at the ware-
house and all conveniences have been
arranged for the quick and perfect
system of handling and storing cot-
tori.
Mr. Bass has been with this stor
age warehouse for several years and
knows all the details of the work. He
is courteous and obliging and will
be glad to see any of his farmer
friends whenever that want anything
in his line.
He can be found at all times at the

BASEBALL GAME AT
BRYAW PARK WILL
There has been a lot of talk about
the game tomorrow afternoon ' be
tween the Methodists and the Pres
byterians. So far so good. We are
hoping there will be a lot more talk.
Goodness knows, it's well worth talk
ing about and more than well worth
going to see. Everybody wants to see
tomorrow afternoon roll arund ex
cept the players. They are having
too good a time talking about what
they are going to do. We have heard
"wry few complaints. Bill PoweU
says he has heard that they are not
going to let him strike out but three
men in any inning, and Parson Dan
says he don' feel like he has done
anything when he knocks a home run
here,' because the field is so small,
but most of the players haven't got
any kick coming.
The betting so far is 0-P in favor
of the umpire which is better than
backing Red Stuart against Farmville
and much less painful.
The Methodists are undecided just
whether to put a mask on John Um
stead cr Arthur DeBerry. They say
they both look good in one.
' Wilson Davis says he knows there
is some good ball playing in him be
cause none of it has ever come out.
Roy Meador didn't bat but 1000
in the last game and he is worried
because that is not but two and one
half times what Ty. Cobb is hitting.
V You will see in the field Cotton,
Grass and Boll Weevil, and the lat
ter sure does cover a lot of terri
tory. Matches will be in the box and
Measles will be catching. New Year
will be on the first and St. Louis
will hold down second. Speculator
will play short while the hot corner
will be occupied by Traffic Cop.
Don't fail to be there because Par
ton Dan isn't used to pitching to
tmpty benches.

CHICAGO, Sept. 25. The quali

L
In all the discussions I have heard
as to what farmers should do, under
boll weevil conditions, the answer is
almost spontaneous: Turn to live
stock. The wisdom of which I shall
not question; but I do want to enter
reminder, that successful stock
farming requires feed. I fear a dis
position on the part of some to go
into the stock raising business, be
fore getting into the feed growing
business. There is one point, in which
we might well profit by the mistakes
of all cotton sections to the south
of us. Not all the individuals, of
course, but a majority, in every sec
tion have done just that thing.
We used to argue that we can
take an acre of cotton and buy more
feed thiin we could make, with this
that or the other crop. And we let
go at that, though we knew then it
was not good business; and we knew
that we were not goitng to buy that
feed more than just barely enough
for the work stock to get through
on. But be that as it may, that ar
bument is not forceful any more.
I do hear a little said about pas
tures, and that is a subject that
should be in the mind of every Edge
combe farmer, even if he never ex
pects to grow more stock than to
supply his own farm. Pasture is one
of the indispensables, but it is not
the only one. Grain is another one.
Just as important as breeding stock
itself. By all accepted theories wheat
shorts whether we call it red dog.
"mill feed," or what not, is a neces-
sary protein feed. The question for
you, then, is "Can I buy those grain
feeds more cheaply than JJ could
raise them?" After you have answer
ed that question to your satisfaction
there still is only one of wo things
you can safely do. Namely, grow
those feeds, or stay out of stock bus
iness. Because the man who does
grow his own feeds, including small
grain as well as corn, will surely beat
you to the profit )ine.
. You have doubtless thought-somewhat;
as to what you will do when
the boll weevil comes. Well he's here.
It is time for you to act.
After my visit to South Carolina
in August I decided to say to any
who might care to consider it: Cut
your acreage in cotton, at least a
third for 1323. Wouldn't some ripe
grain, oats or wheat, be fine for the
hogs that you expect to finish out
next summer? Fall is the time to

METHODIST AND
PRESBYTER AW
GAME AT 4 P. M.
The final arrangements necessary
to the gigantic Methodist-Presbyte-rian
baseball game for Tuesday,
Sept. 26, at four, Bryan Park, have
finally been determined upon and set
in motion. Tickets can be secured
at McNairs, Edgecombe Drug Co.,
and Staton & Zoeller; for those who
wish to avoid the rush at the gates,
these downtown offices have been es
tablished. Prices at the downtown
offices will positively be the same as
those asked at tho stadium. The
price of admission will be 25 cents
and 10 cents will entitle one to the
grandstand. These prices will hold
for all, regardless of age or sex.
Refreshments will be sold at the
park. The game will positively begin
at four o'cock. The gates will be
thrown open at 2:30 sharp. Speculat
ing in tickets should be reported to
the management. Ticket lines will be
allowed to form on Panola street
only. Witnesses are requested to re
frain from any noises that might to
distract the performers.
The proceeds-from he game will
go to the Kiwanis educational fund.
This fund is used to send young boys"
and girls of Edgecombe who desire
to attend college, but do not have
the financial resources necessary. A
more noble cause has not been dis
covered in the past century. There
fore it behooves the entire populace
to turn out en-niasse to witness the
spectacle.
DUBLIN, Sept. 25. An attempt
was made last night to kill General

Only a day or two more and the
youngsters will rise with the dawn;
the happiest day of the year will be
ushered in and this will be when the
majestic Hagenback-Wallace Circus
arrives in Greenville.
One can almost hear and see the
thousands lined up along the curb,
interest most intense, as the mag
nificent parade, more than one mile
long, comes into sight Thursday
morning, Oct. 5, expresses the happy
utterance in unison, "Here it comes."
And then as the procession reveals
its splendor, "Ge, ain't it great!"
And great it will be, according to
advance information, for it is prom
ised that this circus will provide all
(that effort and money can secure.
There is announced the big feat
ures from1 Europe; best of acts ob
tainable in America, trained animals
in stunts that will astound grown
ups and bewilder the youngster, herd
of elephants all working as one; fa
mous acrobats, celebrated equestrian,
daring aerialists, skilled wire per
formers, jugglers, comedy cycling
novelty and more than a score of
funny clowns in pantomimic stunts
that will tease your laughter glands.
There is something to please every
one and everything to please all.
It is also declared that the me
nagerie is proving a decided hit. Wild
animals of every description have
been secured. The kiddies will find it
an educational .feature and grown
ups will be enabled to add much in
formation to their store of knowl

WILSON BANQUET
(The Telegram.)
Formation of a triple alliance for
the mutual aid, each of the other, in
the time of stress, some fire preven
tion day plans, and the firemen's re
lief fund were among the items of
business which featured a pleasant
occasion last night in Wilson when
the Wilson fire department had as
their guests the mayors and alder
men along vitl. Vhe city staffs and
firemen of Rocky Mount and Tarbo
lo. Mote than three score firemen
and city officials gathered around
the banquet table in the spacious
banquet hall of the Commonwealth
club building, and while the meet
ing wasn't entirely for the transac
tion of business or of unalloyed plea
sure, nevertheless that nappy mea-
ium was struck which permitted the
transaction of the necessary business
and at the same time to make the
I occasion one enjoyed by all present
A sumptuous two course supper,
which featured an abundance of de
lightful Wilson county fried chicken
fritter with jelly in the preparation
of which some caterer is making a
reputation for our neighboring town.
was a part of an offering of attend
ant edibles which delighted the in
ner man. The second course was pie
with ice cream a la mode. It was
truly a wonderful supper enjoyed by
all present.
Cha;rs were pushed back from the
table and with Attorney W. A. Lu
cas, honorary member of the fire de
partment, presiding as toastmaster
there was a rapid fire of business
and speech making which v&t feat
ured by mi able address by former
President of the State and National
Fire Association James D. McNeill,
of Fayetteville. The visitors were
welcomed to Wilson by former Mayor
Edgerton who is at present chairman
of the Board of City Commissioners
while the response was by J. L.
Home, Jr., of Rocky Mount. Follow
ing these Alderman J. A. Weddell
of Tarboro was called upon and he
in turn was followed by Mayor C. L.
Gay of Rocky Mount.
Mr. Briggs, the first fire chief of
a Wilson department, spoke inter
estingly of that city's early fire fight
ing organization and in a rather ri
diculous reference to the aldermen
of Wilson whom the toastmaster de
clared "always did things well," Mr.
Briggs, now a member of the coun
cil, explained that the statement was
correct but he recalled back in the
eighties when the aldermen "bought
a fire engine and forgot they had
to provide water for it." The speaker
ably summarized the history and the
work of tho Wilson departments (lur
ing the more than fifty years o its
history, while ris findings of the ri
diculous events brought peels of
laughter. Mr. John Umstead of Tar
boro talked interestingly of the ap
preciations of the citizenship of that
town for their department.
Th evening was featured by an
address by Hon. James H, McNeill,
former-legislator, Mayor of Fayette
ville, State President and National
President of the fire organizations
of the state and nation, who in a
delightful and interesting talk re
counted some of the early days of
the departments, the firemens relief
and the beneficial and fraternal or
ganizations which have been func
tioning in their behalf. The speakers
wealth of experience as a firemen
with a record of responses to more
than three thousand alarms as a vol
unteer to that of city official and
legislator gave his listeners some in
teresting sidelights on the fire fight
ers as viewed from within and with
out. The speaker's tribute to the vol
unteers opened up new thoughts and
new ideas for the layman and for
more than an hour rapt attention
was given by everp person present.
The visiting firemen are unstinted
