Washington, N. (X, July SO.?
B. C. Banks, of Norfolk, Va^.oil
engineer, was in the city this
week for a few hours on busi
ness. M. Banks is now at Have
lock, near New Bon, in Craven
County, where he is in charge
of a test well to be put down by
a local syndicate to determine
what oil resources exist in this
section of the State.
In an interview with the News
3?r. Banks said that just as soon
as all machinery was on the
ground and installed, work on
boring of the well would be com
menced, which would be around
the.first of August. He was con
fident that by the 10th of Aug
ust the first 1,00$ feet would be
down and the remaining 2,000
feet or more, if necessary, would
be pushed as rapidly as possible.
A diamond |briH will be used
as it was his phtn to test the
well in a scientific manner by.
means of a core drifc as to
ascertain Die true condition as
to the various stratas through
which the drill would pass. Mr I

there, it would also be found in

Attendance Than Expected.
??*? ?*?
Raleigh, July 29th.?Contrary
to expectations, the annual con
vention of farmers and farm wo
men held at State College last
week was attended by a thous
and or more people during each
of the three days. At the close
of the first day about 500 men
and women had- registered for
? '"a tti''
as an attraction. * Its old-fash
ioned tunes and its songs of long
ago stirred, the andience to an
extent of real pleasure.
The convention this year was
characterised by more discus
sion from the floor by farmers
themselves. In the past, those
in the audience have been eon
tent to let the speakers do the
talking; bat, this year, those
who wished definite information
about a particular subject had
no hesitancy in-asking question*
and ijtr giving experiences* It
Seemed that the farmers haw.
really come to look upon State
College as their own institution
and the convention as their putK
