"MEANS MORE MEAT."
Special to The Gazette.'
.WEST ' RALEIGH, Feb. 2 8.
Every county In North Carolina can
well afford to follow the lead of
Crayen county as given by the Rtn
.ston. Free -Press in its Issue of recent
date. Accordidng to specialists at
the Agricultural Extension Service
the loss In porlc because of bar
becued Pigs amounts to enormous
proportions each season. If- these
pigs were allowed to make full
weight. North Carolina would not
have to pay from 35o to &0c per
pound for Western-bacon, which win
he scarcer than ever this coming
fall and winter. - -
Editor Braxon thus gives his view
of the matter: '
'The farmers of Craven are re
ported to be taking concerted action
to prevent the decimation of their
hogs this year through the barbecue
route. The killing of pigs for barbe
cue purposes costs the farmers of
North Carolina thousands of pounds
of meat every year. The cost of
maturing'the pigs to full grown hogs
is inconsiderable as compared with
their increased meat production and
consequent value.. The Craven coun
ty folks are said to have "laid the
law down" and that the barbecues
there-abouts this year must be with
full grown hogs. . The farmers . of
Lenoir, and every county - in the
State, could well Afford to fallow
suit.- Let it be an unwritten law
that no porker under 150 to 200
pounds should be slaughtered. Then
next year raise even that, limit. The
results will be apparent and convinc
ing." y,;-Mv:y-- - ,Y '

W.l-BRYAN HOWIED.
DOWN BY TROOPS
Toronto, Feb.' 2 8. William .Jen
nings Bryan was refused a hearing
when he appeared at Massey hall
here tonight to address a prohibition
meeting under .the auspices of the
dominion 'alliance.
Returned soldiers caused the dis
turbance by shouting various epith
ets! "-What about the Lusltania?"
they also demanded in chorus.
The first disturbance came before
Mr. Bryan's entry, when the . chair
man told the audience they were to
be honored by listening to the fra
ternal delegate of the Anti-Saloon
League of America, "one of the fore
most citizens of our ally." When
Mr. Bryan came in,- pandemonium
broke loose. - Most of the audience
stood, waved handkerchiefs and
cheered him, but the answering
hoots from the gallery outlasted the
cheers.
For five minutes Mr. Bryan tried
vainly to make himself heard. The
interruption kept rigbj. on and the In
terrupters sang "Rule Britannia"
and "God Save the King."
They Inquired about the Lusltania
and sang "Over There" and "We
Won't Go Home Until Morning."
Men stood up and shook their fists at
Mr. Bryan." Soldiers showed the ser
vice buttons on their coats and shout
ed defiance at those who pleaded for
a hearing for him.
Enthusiastic prohibitionists who
wished to hear Mr. Bryan, hurled
across the hall counter-calls of "put
them out," and "Where's your fair
play?" The chairman was heard to
say something about ejecting the In
terrupters. He was greeted with
cries of "Who's going to do it?"
Mr. Bryan took his seat.
John H. Roberts, of Montreal,
made an attempt to speak, but was
told to "get the khaki on."
. Then a man of the army medical
corps dressed in uniform was hoisted
on the platform.
."Boys, they are fighting for free
dom at the front; they are also fight
ing for freedom of thought. Why
should we Interrupt the meeting?"
he appealed to the gallery.
The appeal was in vain. "God
Save the King" was sung again and
the soldiers in the gallery shouted,
"Take Bryan out, and we'll walk out.
We'll let any man speak, but not a
pro-German."
After the band had played anoth
er air, Mr. Bryan made a brief, but
futile attempt to make himself heard.
Then he took fc chair to the edge of
the platform and talked to the re
porters, the noise never ceasing for
an instant.
