BEMLT 3,000 CORN BLOB BOYS ON ROLL MANAGER BROWNE MAILS TO BOYS VOUCHERS TOTALLING $450.00. DISPATCHES FROM RALEIGH Doing and Happenings That Mark the Progress of North Carolina Peo ple Gathered Around the State Caoitol. Raleigh. T. E. Browne, In charge of the Boys' Corn Club work in North Carolina, has just sent out vouchers to the win ners in the 1914 corn contest The vouchers totalled $450, which sura Js the gift of the North Carolina Board of Agriculture to the lucky boys. There are 10 districts in North Carolina, and to each one of them will go 45 to the winners. The prizes are $15, $12.50, $10, $5 and $2.50. Dudley Hall, the champion grower 'of North Carolina, will re ceive a free scholarship to A. & M. College. There are numerous other local and county prizes which the winning boys will receive for their labors. The agents state there is a won deruflly growing interest among the boys in their search for the scientific facts regarding corn growing and other farming. The prizes, the work ers say, help to stimulate rivalry, but are not the chief aim of the boys when they are working their crop. This is a pleasing feature of the work, and one towards which the depart ment has been working for some time. Another thing which the boy3 are doing besides replenishing their own coffers and enlarging their knowledge, is teaching their fathers how the art of progressive farming is carried on. Many farmers are outclassed by their sons, and this fact makes the elders work harder to make good yields. That this year will be a successful one is the prediction of Mr. Browne, who has watched the Corn Club work ever since it began in North Caro lina. The crop will be a little late In getting started, but will have time enough to mature. The youths have their seed selected, and are ready to plant and begin cultivation. The membership is now climbing towards the 3,000 mark, and it is thought that it will reach the coveted goal before Fall. Opinions of the Supreme Court.

Governor Craig appointed as dele gates from this state to the South ern Conference on Women and Child Labor to be held at Memphis, Tenn., April 26 and 27 the following: W. A. Erwln, Durham; C. E. Hutchison, Mt. Holly; Bishop Joseph Blount Ches hire, Raleigh; Rev. R. F. Campbell, Ashevllle; Zeb Vance Weaver, Ashe ville. State Fisheries Board Organizes. Ed. Chambers Smith has just re turned from Newbern where a few days ago he was ected chairman of the State Fisheries Board which or ganized there under the new state fisheries law passed by the recent legislature. A. V. Cob of Bertie county was electee" (Secretary of the board. In compliance with instruc tions given by Governor Craig in ap pointing the nrmbers of the board, II. L. Gibbs was elected State Fish Commissioner. He will later desig nate two assistant commissioners. To Represent General Education Board Mr. Jackson Davis, who is just now retiring from his position as state agent for rural schools with the Vir ginia Department of Education to be come Southern representative of the General Education Board of the South In the utilization of fhe Slater and the Jeannes and other special educational funds is spending a few days in this Ptate with members of the offir staff of the North Carolina Department of Education making special study of the work in this state as it applies to the Davidson County Bonds Are Valid. One of the most notable opinions of the Supreme court delivered this week was that from Davidson county-IIar-grave vs. Davidson Road Commission ersinvolving the $300,00 bond issue1 authorized by the recent legislature to be made without special vote of the people for road improvement and completely changing the road laws of the county. The appeal as from the refusal of the trial judge to grant to opponents of the bond issue a re straining order against the new road commission and its exercise of th powers conferred upon it. In this case Justices Brown and Walker dissent, Justice Brown filing the dissenting opinion. In this the position is taken that the supreme court, should reverse itself in the mat ter of the extent to which the prin ciple of issuance of bonds for "neces sary expenses" of county or municipal purposes can be stretched. The dis senting opinion declares that it never entered the minds of the framers of the Constitution in 1868 that Article 7, Section 7, would ever be construed to empower road commissioners to is sue $300,000 bonds without vote of the citizens of the county. It is con tended, further, that there is no limit to the extent to w.hich this construc tion can be stretched. The bond issue might as well be $1,000,000 as $300, 000 so far as the construction of the court as to the "necessary expenses" is concerned. The controlling opinion of the court in the Davidson road bond case mainly reaffirms the position of the court in Commissioner vs. Commis sioners from Yancey county, 165 N. C. Reports, holding that this is a mat ter in which the Judiciary Depart ment has no power over the co-ordinate legislative branch of state gov ernment and that the remedy is with! the people in procuring whatever legislation can be had from a sul sequent legislature to give relief, as was the case in the Yancey county case cited. The court holds as to the issue of defects in the machinery for condemning lands for road pur poses that this is not an issue that can be raised at this state and that at no stage could it involve any in junction proceeding such as that at bar. Farmers' Market Bulletin of Interest. The present number of the Farm ers' Market Bulletin contains articles of interest to farmers who have cot ton, corn, potatoes, .butter, or eggs to market The work of the North Carrolina Division of Markets is outlined in a special report which was written for the Department of Agriculture of the State of Missouri. This report shows how farmers, merchants, bankers, and railroads may co-operate with a State Division of Markets. The co-operation of all is especially needed at this time to develop a market for North Carolina prorducts when the state is in some measure shifting from the production of cotton to that of food and feed crops. Accepts Position of Grant Clerk. Col. J. Bryan Grimes, secretary of state, announced that E. G. Sherrill of Greensboro has accepted an ap pointment to the position of grant clerk In the office of the secretary of state and will take up his duties April 19, succeeding the late George Nor wood. Mr. Sherrill is Democratic chair man of Guilford county and was re cently appointed tax assessor. He has for some time held a position in Washington that would have neces sitated him moving his family. He has accepted the position here in preference to this and will move his family to Raleigh. He is a son of Capt. M. O. Sherrill, state librarian. J. R. Young Returns From Chicago. James R. Young has returned from Chicago, where he attended the spring meeting of the national convention of state commissioners of insurance. The convention arranged for a con siderable amount of committee work to be done in preparation for the annual summer convention to be held in Califronia in September. Governor Honors Requisition. Governor Craig honored a requisi tion from the Governor of Virginia for Seaward Isley for malicious trespass alleged to have been committed in Henry County, Va. He is being held for the Virginia authorities at Draper. Sale of Hosiery Mill Postponed. The Martin Hosiery Mill sale, which was scheduled to take place recently at auction has been indefinitely post poned because the bidding was not sufficiently active to make the sale at this time advantageous to the estate. The property will be readvertised and sold later. The sale was designed to make assets for the estate of the late J. B. Martin, who established the mill. He died here several months ago. It is a valuable and well-equipped prop erty located close by the freight yards of the Seaboard Air Line. Schedule of Freight Rates on Lime. Commissioner of Agriculture W. A. Graham issued tabulated schedule of freight rates on agricultural lime to be shipped in c load lots out of John son City, Tenn., by the Cranberry Fur nace Company at 50 cents per ton over the Carolina and Clinchfield road and delivered all along this road, the Sea board Air Line, the Norfolk Southern and other connection points where the freight rates will justify ship ments from this point. The commis sion ordered improvements in passen ger station equipment at Kins too WILL TEST THE HE QUART LIQUOR 11 JUDGE DANIELS WILL PASS ON TEST CASE OF NEW PROHIBI TION STATUTE. TRY TO COMPEL DELIVERY George M. Glenn, of Raleigh, Issues Mandamus Proceeding Against the Express Company. Raleigh. Judge Daniels is to pass on the constitutionality of the quart liquor law passed by the recent legis lature, the hearing on a mandamus proceeding to compel transportation and delivery by the Southern Express Company of one gallon of whiskey from Richmond being set for April 26. In this case the constitutionality of both the recently enacted quart law In this state and the Webb-Kenyon act of Congress are intended to be ultimately involved as to their consti tutionality as the prosecution of the case progresses through the state and most probahly the United States courts. George M. Glenn of this city order ed a gallon package of whiskey from a Richmond house and theexpress company refused to receive it for transportation, there being with the package as tendered a statement that Glenn intended to receive it in Raleigh for his own personal use. The mandamus proceeding as in stituted here through Murray Allen, as counsel for the plaintiff, attacks "both the regulations that the South ern Express Company has adopted for the making of shipments into North Carolina of whiskies and the provisions of the new North Carolina law itself. It is insisted that the ex press company regulations invade the constitutional rights of the individual to an extent beyond anything that could be required through the provi sions of the new North Carolina law. Furthermore there is insistence that the act itself invades the rights of the individual under the State Constitu tion as to personal liberty guaranteed in Article 1, Section 1 and Article 1, Section 17, as to disseizing a citizen of his personal privileges without due process of law. Go to Mount Mitchell May 4. Asheville. T. E. Blackstock, of this city, who was named as chair man of the Mount Mitchell commis sion at a meeting of the commission ers at Burnsville recently, said that the members will go to the summit of the peak May 4th. They will meet there with a surrveyor who is to be employed by the commission, and work will be started at once, looking to the purchase of the highest peak east of the Rocky Mountains by the state of North Carolina for a park. The commission is authorized to spend the sum of $20,000 in the ac- auisition of the mountain, and it is empowered to secure the tracts either by purchase or condemnation. Chair man Blackstock says that the com missioners are determined to make the deal as soon as possible, believ ing that nothing is to be gained by postponement. State Editors Go to Montreat Salisbury The North Carolina Press Association will meet at Montreat July 1 and 2. This was decided by the executive committee which met In Salisbury. Montreat and Black Mountain com bined in the invitation. Other places bidding for the meeting were Bre vard, Lake Toxaway, Lake Kanuaga. Present at this meeting were President W. C. Hammer, J. B. Sher rill, J. H.. Caine, H. B. Varner, R. R. Clark. Let Big Paving Contract. Greensboro. City authorities have let the contract of the city for $87,350 worth of street paving to be done this spring.

Another Boost For Rocty Mount Rocky Mount. Just another move in making the Rocky Mount the hub for Eastern Carolina became known when the news of the lease of spacious quarters In the Planters Bank build ing by the government mail service, became known. The quarters just se cured are for the use of Charles F. Carroll and his assistants in directing the railway mail service for Eastern North Carolina. Mr. Carroll will at an early date remove to this city from Warsaw and assume the duties of chief clerk of the service. K community Road Improvement.

WILLIAM WALLACE KETCHUM J & Director of Practical Work Com, j Moody Kola Intitule of CUca TEXT And he dreamed and behold a ladder set up on the earth, and the top of It reached to heaven: and behold the angels of God ascending and descending on it Genesis 28:12. The etory which presents itself is an old one. It is that of a life into which God en tered the life of one who was a true representa tive of man under the curse of sin. Rebekah instruct ed Jacob to ob tain the ' blessing o f Abraham through deceit and the sin which brought its curse. A mother lost both of her sons and Jacob, be cause of the .kin dled wrath of Esau, is an exile iTom home. Weary in body, wretched in spirit he lies down to sleep a stone for his pillow; the vaulted heav ens for his canopy. In the darkness of the night, the consciousness of sin steals over him and a guilty con science gives uneasy rest. He "felt that the sin which separated him from his father's home, must separate him from his father's God. It is at such times, when one is truly awakened to a sense of sin in himself, that God can and will mani fest his grace. Jacob had no sense of worthiness"; on the contrary, his conscience condemned him as a guilty sinner before God. It was then that God broke open the heavens and out of the depths of love disclosed the ladder of grace which reached the man in need; at its summit God, sur rounded by the glory and brightness of heaven; at its base, poor wayward Jacob, shrouded iu darkness; and as cending and descending, the angels of God. Is not this a true picture of God's grace as manifested through Christ who Is the ladder reaching from God to needy man. Loved Ones at the Bottom. Years ago, an explsion in a coal mine hurried many souls into eternity. A great crowd gathered, appalled by the terrible calamity. It could not be ascertained who had been killed, or wounded, or who were still exposed alive to the fire which was advancing in every direction. Where was the man willing to imperil his life by de scending into the pit? A person of in fluence succeeded in gaining the at tention of the throng, and asked if any were ready to face death by entering the mine. Instantly a number stepped forward. "But," said a Christian, who witnessed the thrilling scene, "I no ticed that none volunteered, except those who had loved ones at the bot tom." Just so it was with him, who left the throne of glory and the courts of heaven to come to our relief. What it cost him to make the descent from 6uch a height to such a depth, we shall not fully know throughout eter nity, but we know now that he would never have descended, if he had not had loved ones at the bottom. The Word of Grace. God did not leave Jacob, perplexed by the vision, but spoke to him the word of grace; "I am the Lord God of Abraham, thy father . . .; the land whereon thou liest, to thee will I give It. And behold I am with thee in all places whither thou goest, and will bring thee again into this land, for I will not leave thee until I have done that I have spoken to thee of." But in the energy of a fleeing, fallen man, an "If" obscured the grace at Bethel. It led Jacob to bargain with God and brought sad failure. God asked noth ing of Jacob, simply faith; but Jacob said to God, 'if you will do so and bo "then shall the Lord be my God and of all that thou shalt give me, I will surely give a tenth unto thee." So Jacob left Bethel, having accept ed God's grace conditionally. Relying partly upon God and partly upon self, he soon lost sight of the grace at Bethel, but amidst all his scheming and planning the God of Bethel never forgot Jacob. Grace that saved, kept him and at last brought him back to Bethel where grace was accepted ful ly. Faith took the place of sight and grace won the day. Salvation by Grace Alone. Today, when grace which saves Tin conditionally, is accepted conditional ly, it brings failure. God has not left us In doubt as to what Christ's suf fering on the cross means. He hath spoken the word. "And by him all that believe are justified from all things from which ye could not.be justified by the law of Moses." And God, who exercises perfect grace, meets us Just where he met Jacob, oat upon the hills of sin in the very spot where we find ourselves, like Jacob, guilty, helpless and alone. . Have you accepted fully God's gift of grace? Or, like bargain-making Jacob, are you now trusting in God, now In self? now walking by sight, now In faith? If so, the God of all grace meets you and asks you to receive without condition his blessed gift.

Davison of the Morgan hanking firm was talking about inter national marriages. "Well," he said, "I know of one in ternational marriage that failed, thank goodness, to come off. The girl was the daughter of a Paint Rock millionaire. The man was a count, a Spanish count. "The count was absent minded. That was his undoing. The girl's father gave a dinner for him in the Paint Rock castle over looking Paint Rock, and at the dinner's end the count got up to light a cigarette, and then, by jove, started to remove the plates. "The guests watched him in an open-mouthed silence. His napkin slung over his arm, he had got nearly all the plates removed when his mil lionaire host said to him gently: "'Wake up, George. You're not waiting in the beanery now, you know. You're pretending you're a count in Paint Rock. Wake up, man, for gracious sake!" More to the Point. Clerk This Is the best burglar alarm made.

A lady doctor writes: "Though busy hourly with my own affairs, I will not deny myself the pleasure of taking a few minutes to tell of the enjoyment obtained daily from my morning cup of Postum. It is a food beverage, not a stimulant like coffee. "I began to use Postum 8 years ago; not because I wanted to, but because coffee, which I dearly loved, made my nights long, weary periods to be dread ed and unfitting me for business dur ing the day. "On advice of a friend, I first tried Postum, making it carefully as sug gested on the package. As I had al ways used 'cream and no sugar, I mixed my Postum so. It looked good, was clear and fragrant, and it was a pleasure to see the cream color it as my Kentucky friend always wanted her coffee to look, 'like a new saddle.' "Then I tasted it critically, for I had tried many 'substitutes' for coffee. I was pleased, yes, satisfied with my Postum In taste and effect, and am yet, being a constant user of It all these years. ' "I continually assure my friends and acquaintances that they will like Pos tum in place of coffee, and receive benefit from its use. I have gained weight, can sleep and am not nerv ous." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. Read "The Road to Well ville," In pkgs. .
