WOULI) NOT CONVICT
ON RELFE TESTIMONY
Trial Justice Spence in the re
corder's court Thursday morning
spent something like an hour In
hearing the recital of the details by
which it came about that J. If. Cas
per of Pasquotank County was
charged with attempting to hire the
two young sons of Joshua Ilolfe to
poison n hog on the premises of Jim
Morgan, T'axquotank farmer. It tbelng
the contention of Casper that the
bog belonged to him.
After listening to the Ttelfe ver
sion of the affair, as given by Mr.
Itelfe and his two sons, and then after
hearing the defendant's version, sup
ported by the testimony of his broth
iY, the court held that there was ln
ufTlcicnt evidence to convict, es
pecially In view of the fact that the
alleged offer was made more than
a year ago. and dismissed the case.
The only other case disposed of in
the recorder's couri Thursday was
that against Stephen C. Sawyer, col
ored, for failure to list taxes. Stephen

Headquarters Are
Moved from Raleigh
Near Fast Helief in North Carolina
Will be Handled from
Charlotte
Raleigh, Sept. 6.?Stale headquar
ters of the Near East Relief for North
Carolina were moved from this city
to Charlotte today. Economy of op
eration and future consolidation of
state offices of this great humanita
rian organization were given as the!
reason. New offices will be located ]
at 300 North Tryon street.
Col. George H. Bellamy, state!
chairman, in a statement issued on
the eve of leaving the state capital i
for the Queen city, expressed the ap
preciation of his organization to thej
people of Raleigh for their courtesy i
and cooperation during ITie five
years an office has been maintained i
here. }
Last winters when the office out
grew its quarters in the Citizens
Hank Building and no other office
space available, the Y. M. C. A. I
through courtesy of Daniel W. Glov- I
er, general secretary,- tendered use
of their board of directors* room at
rental far smaller than the provail
ing pricrs in this-city.
"Our stay in Raleigh has been most
pleasant," Col. Bellamy declared,
"and we appreciate all of the many
things the people and merchants of
Raleigh have done for us. However,
we find that we can operate so much
cheaper in Charlotte as to make such
removal the only justifiable course
to an organization which asks the
public for funds and which has been
proven to operate on a smaller over
head than any other ch.arltable or
ganization In the mirlil,
"Besides, the time is coming when
with reduced quotas it will lie neces
sary to consolidate state offices and
in Charlotte we will be in the logical
location to handle the work of the
two Carolinas at a much reduced
overhead."

Home Demonstration Work
By No Means A Soft Job
Mrs. Jane MrK i til m on ITell* I loir Farm Women Learn bx
Doing anil Learn the Joy of Living and Doing, II itU
Home Demonstration Agents Bridging tin' Chasm
Raleigh, Sept. C.?In air interview,
today, Mrs. Jane 8. MrKiininon. ?11 -
rector of homo demonstration work
Tor North Carolina State College and
th#> Department of Agriculture, out
lined the work of the depart men'
she jieadfl. telling of the activities of
the numerous county demonstration
agents and how they endeavor to
better the homelifo of the farmers
of North Carolina, not by talking and
telling them how to do things, hut
bv showing them how by doing the
things themselves. The position of
the county home demonstration agent
is no "soft Job." according to Mrs.
McKlmmon, but she said there are
very few home demonstration agents
who would change their work if they
had the opportunity.
| "I once asked a home demonstra
tion agent. she said, 'How do you
get no close to the woman and girl in
'your county?', and the reply came
!quickly. 'I believe It Is because I
make myself a bridge between that
woman and her opportunity.'
"As I see thene busy county Work
ers going from community to com
1 munlty," she continued. "I am
'minded of the many bridges they
are making over which women cross
to fellowship with their neighbors,
contact with the outside markets, a
/better understanding of their re
sponsibility in .knowing 'he proper
foods to build young bodies, and a
knowledge of how to plan work that
time may be saved for the higher
things of life.
"The tangible rcntilts are many
and can be easily counted, but who
can ipeasure the inspiration and
courage that comes to that girl who
sees the way' toward college opening
straight through the cans she has
filled and put on the market, or the
ioy to thVt ""woman who ' sees'"fi'er"
home growing Into a thing of beauty
and comfort became of Ihe Instruc
tion she has received and put into
practice."
Illustrating her statement that th*
wotk of the county demonstration
agent Is one of actfoi and hot of
words alone. Mrs. McKimtnon cited
an interesting incident. "An en
thusiastic woman applied to me for
a position as home agent after sTie
had seen the work in one of the
counties." she said. "I asked what
were her qualifications for the Job.
'Qualifications! Qualifications!' she
exclaimed. 'I aesure you I can talk.*
That was evident enough but what
I wished to know what could she
do. 'Oh!' she said. 'I don't want to
do the cooking and the canning and
the sewing. It Is the uplift I am In
terested In. I have been a society
woman, flitting here, flitting there,
lighting anywhere,' And now I
thought, she 1m going to light on us.
I hastened ? <? t?-ii her tti.tt the trouble
wan. wo uplift bv the cooking and
millinery. If she bad bad the oppor
tunity of attending tlio conference
of home demonstration agent* at
Ulue llldge in July and bud heard
those practical women discussing
with cach other the practical meth
ods of doing their John, she would
have caught ? vision of what real tip
lift mean* and what it takes to pro
dUCe It.
"It Ir the agent who can take from
a f I relent* cooker a 'chicken which
she herself has roasted who con
vinces a group of farmers that this
device might be a good time saver
for them to make for their wives,
.and it U the agent" who can teach
I the farm women to producc salable
[articles and organize them for mar
keting these who proves she can add
to the community enough Income to
make It possible to secure some of
the Joy-giving things of life."
The director of home demonstra
tion work told of another Interest
ing incident. Illustrating the work
of the home demonstration agent.
"The home agent in an eastern coun
ty." she began, "ww on her way to
give a canning demonstration to a
croup of women at the f-ihonl house
and as she passed a small unpalnteii
house a woman walked between the
cotton plant* to the road. 'Are you
coming to the meeting?' the agent
asked. 'So,' said the woman, 'I
haven't anything but cherries to
can." 'I see,' replied the agent, 'you
have five tree* hinging with fruit
and yoti and I may get together on
an order we have received for cherry
preserves from State f'ollegr. Bring
some of your fruit to the school
house and if you learn how to put up
a standard. pack 1 can a?sttre you a
sile.1 T"l?e woman"~a open red In the .
afternoon with a half bushel of chcr-;
rles. was very quick to take sugges
tions, and went home to gather and j
preserve all the fruit on her tre.-s.
The finished product netted her $8f?.
more ca^h than she had ever possesed
at one time in her life.
"When the agent asked her what
she was going to do with the money,|
? he replied. '1 am going to build me'
porch. I always nave wanted one.'
The husband (became Interested, did
the carpentry, went further and
painted the house white. And when
the beauty of a lawn and flowers,
wis Impressed tipon him he gladly
gave all the ground from the house
to the road for the purpose, and add
ed a vegetable garden at the hack
Today, that little house stands as a
monument to awakened ambiiion; It!
Ii Joy to the passer-by and demon-j
strgtlon to the neighbors of what
can be done from a email beginning." i
