Theie was an unprecedented rain fall Wednesday which was accom panied with much wind, doin'g great damage to corn and tobacco. The (rainfall was the heaviest in. the recollrctku of the eldest Inhabitants, 'and the wind was severe for the tim'i of the year. Slight damage resulted to some of the buildirgs in the city, but the losses will not be much to any per son or fiinn as was the losses of a lewt weeks ago. V few shade truees In the city were blown down, and flowers and shrubs were broken or beat down. Much corn is regarded as being ruined, tnd the fodder lost. Hue tobacco crcp, of which a little more than a third had been harvest ed, was severely injured, the plants being beat down or the leaves bruteed. . ( No deaths have been reported in this immediate section, but two people were killed at Tarboro, and the storin "s fury seems to have cov ered several counties fn the State, extending to the East. Ia seine of the counties bridges were washed away, and in many sections telegraph and telephone lines were lowered, the service in this 6ectica being seriously hampered It is impossible to estimate the damage done to the growing crops in this section, tut it will be con siderable, it is thought. However, the crops were unusually fine ones, 4the prices are good, so it is as toured tflilat no actual suffering will result frcan the visitation of the storm. Considerable tcbacco has been harvested, and much more can be saved from the Injured plant. The weather Wednesday reminded one of the approach of fallthe first fall month and the first oyster month. NEGRO BOY SERIOUSLY CUT , Sandy Gorrell, aged about 18 years, is apparently making a remarkable recovery at the county home from the effects of serious cuts in flicted by a razor, and Alexander Turner jW in jail awaiting: the trial for having inflicted the wounds Iwhich at first seamed to be neces esarily fatal.

' ' The hoys lived about seven miles Southwest of Reidaville, and Gorrell had been visiting Turner's -sister, The Turner girl took the liberty of slapping him. Gorrell returned the Mow and was then ordered away from die Turner's premises. He wient. back lateer and took along a rsoi4, the favorite "roan of war" amongst colored people when they go in search of human gore, and ad mdniBtereed several cuts on the per scn of the Turner boy. The most serious wound was inflicted across tile stomach, and Dr. Jett at first thought it would prove fatal. After the wounds were given at tention, Turner was Bent; to the county heme, and the last news was to the effect that he had a fair chance of recovery. Young Women Read what Cardui did for Miss MjrrU Engler, ef Faribault, Minn. She says: "Let me tell you how much good Cardui has done me.

Tkw COMMISSION WANTS At the annual co f erence of Governors which rock place this v ( ar a t'Coloradov$ hh tr ere were former and '' present Executives from twenty-five states In attendance. Chief among the topics discussed at the session was the problem of the ex tension of rural credits and co-operative farming enterprises, which has been the subject of an extensive Euro pean investigation by the American commission on rural credits. The secretary of the interior, Frank lin K. Lane, was present as the per sonal representative of President Wil son to advise the governors regarding the policies of the federal government Secretary Lane outlined the policy of his department toward western land settlement He said homesteaders were entitled to all possible aid from the government and suggested that the time for paying for w ater rights ought to be extended. The secretary said the government already had expended $80,000,000 In reclamation projects and should spend a like sum in the next ten years. Rural Credits Discussed.,, The report of the American commis sion on rural credits was presented to the conference by Gordon Jones of Denver, in the absence of Senator Fletcher of Florida, its chairman. In this the first general report upon the extensive European investigation made by the commission under Joint author ity of congress the governments of twenty-nine states and the southern commercial congress, Chairman Fletch er recommended Increased activity by the states in the extension of rural credits and co-operative farming enter prises. The report was in part as fol lows: '..'.'' Agricultural interests of most of the European countries are organized along one or more of the following lines Credit production, distribution and so cial organization for the betterment of country life. Organizations for the provision of credit facilities for European farmers follow the natural division into short time personal credit and long time land mortgage credit The organlza tions for the provision of personal credit facilities are as highly develop ed as are the systems of commercial banking. The prevailing rate of Inter est paid by the farmers for short time loans is from 4 to 54 per cent The terms offered European farmers are generally better designed to meet the peculiar requirements of agriculturists than are the terms obtainable today by the American farmers. Co-operative Societies. The personal credit organizations have the form of co-operative societies. Often the members of these societies assume unlimited liability for the debts of the society, while In other cases the societies take the. form of limited lia bility. These short time credit societies furnish cheap, safe and elastic credit to their members by reason of their control by farmers and are organiza tions exclusively in the interest of farmers who operate them at nominal cost and without seeking dividend prof it to such societies. Land mortgage credit has been or ganized bo as to place a collective security back on bonds issued by land mortgage societies in contrast with the system of marketing individual loans npon individual mortgages. These land mortgage Institutions bring to Euro pean farmers low interest rates, the privileges of repaying loans In small fixed annual installments extending over a term of years In some cases as long as seventy-five yenrs under the amortization plan, although provision for earlier payment is made if tn borrower so desires; protection from advance In Interest rates and the practical elimination of commission charges. Many of these personal credit societies and Jand mortgage associa tions are fostered by government grants, loans or special provisions of law. Mortgage bonds Issued by com mercial banks and by private Joint stock land mortgage banks sell sub stantinlly on the same basis with like securities issued by government favor ed institutions, and both classes of banks are recognized as needful in the development and conservation of agri cultural resources. Experience has demonstrated that such land mortgnge bonds are liquid assets. land Title Registrations. The systems of land title registra tlon In countries possessing such mort gage Institutions practically prevent dispute' of title upon mortgaged kind Provisions are also generally afforded these mortgnge Institutions which eliminate undue legal delays In the re covery of lama plnced with defaultinr borrowers. Snvlngs and trust fundi lire frequently Invested In securitli of such mortgage Institutions undei sanction of law. Loans up to 50 or even fifl per cent are made on lands of dependable value uud are considered safe auti conservative ana couiDun favorably with provincial and govern ment bonds. fhe organizations for production and distribution of farm products follow MORE RURAL CREDITS co-operative lines. Farm products are sold by the producer at a relatively higher price and are bought by the consumer at u relatively lower price, because the cost of distribution is con siderably lowered by co-operative mar keting, which results also In improv ing the quality and uniformity of farm products and in promoting more busi nesslike methods in farming opera tions. ' It is the opinion of many of the leaders of this movement in Europe that the question of rural credit ought uot to be divorced from co-operation for business purposes and the genon' organization of community life in mir u districts. In some European countries visited agriculture and country life In terests generally are thoroughly or ganized and co-ordinated. The studies of the commission emphasize the ne cessity of defining the functions, on the one hand, of the government, sod on the other of voluntary organiza tions in promoting the development of country lile. In some of these coun tries great emphasis Is placed upon the value of voluntary associations and such state aid as involves governmental control over the activities of rural or ganizations is deprecated as tending to stifle the initiative of the people. Conditions Differ Widely. Rural conditions, environment and temperament In Europe differ widely in the various countries and also differ from rural conditions, environment and temperament in America. Therefore It may be necessary in some cases to modify these European systems if they are to be adapted to meet the needs of American farmers. At the same time co-operative effort among the farmers of America might well be more gener ally employed, and the facts gathered should be of great value In developing methods suited to the needs of the farmers In the several sections, states and provinces. To this end the American commis sion, with a membership in thirty-six states and In four provinces of Can ada, has effected nn organization with headquarters in Washington and in vites the aid and co-operation of -farmers and all agricultural organizations and persons concerned In promoting a TZSra prosperous and contented rural life as the enduring basis of our mate rial, social and civil welfare. The commission desires to call atten tion to the geographical scope of its in quiries, which were conducted in Italy, Hungary, Austria, Germany, France, England, Ireland and Wales, while subcommittees were sent to Russia, Denmark, Switzerland, Holland, Bel gium, Norway Sweden, Egypt, Spain and Scotland. Legislation Needed. I have contended all along that our present banking and currency system is framed to serve commerce and the Industries other than agriculture. For fifty years It has discriminated against agriculture. I am convinced this was not a deliberate blow at agriculture, but arose for the reason that no com mercial banking system can be framed so as to adequately serve agriculture. We must have a distinct system to meet the requirements of the farmer. I would prefer to go on with that subject now while the banking; and currency bill Is up, but President Wil son Js doubtless right In the circum stances In advising that It go over until the regular session next winter. While I believe wholesome and help ful legislation can bo enacted by con gress along the lines I have Indicated, I beg again to say there Is much the states must do if the system is to be come the success it should attain In or der to be a powerful and effective means toward accomplishing the wel fare of the largest producing class of our people and the prosperity of our greatest industry, indeed, the general good. TREE IMPORTATIONS HEAVY. United State Also Imports 15,000 Pounds of Seed. Nearly 4,000,000 growing trees and more than 15,000 pounds of tree seed were Imported Into the United States last year, according to figures collect ed by the federal plant quarantine board of the department of agricuW ture. France leads the countries from which Importations are made, with nearly 2,000,000 trees. Germany comes next and Holland third. Most of the tree seed imported Is for reforesting, though there are many desirable varieties for use on Individ' ual estates. Besides the tree seeds, many thousand pounds of seed are Imported of flowering and ornamental plants, bulbs and fruit stock. School For Suffragists. A "school for suffruce orators" Is to be opened In New York Sept 13, and women from all parts of the country probably will take the course. The school is to bo operated under the dl- I III 9118. millU vnflpUiHH UfltTT president of the International Suffrage alliance, and Its aim Is to train suf fragist speakers and workers to do more effective work.

Advice to Money Savers ' Don't put your money into an enterprise you know nothing about. Choose the low rate and absolute security, rather than the high rate and a risk. Keep your savings where you can convert them into cash should an emergency arise. Open an account with our Savings Depart ment or take out a Certificate of Deposit, bearing four per cent interest. Protection to depositors is more than On Hundred nd Ninety Thcusand Dollars. CITIZENS-BANKt GLENN WILL NOT RUN flno About Ex-Governor. All the State papers yesterday carried Interesting reading under a Washington, D. C date line about K. -Governor Glenn. Some Of thorn 'Uke the position that the former Governor will not be a candidate for the Senate, others think he will soon make formal announcement, and the Greensboro New s correspondent quotes him as saying that no ona has been authorized to ask the n t 1 A m . . nesiaeni ior any position for him, and that he has to idea any cne has done so. : -. E. J. Justice, a candidate to suc ceed Senator Lee S. Overman, R. B.

The Washington cor resrondent of the Raleigh News and Observer says of the conference: "Neitiher the meeting nor the dis cussion te believed to possess any significance, despite the coincidence cf the coming together cf the fout, but it caused talk, and lots of it, among the North Carolinians here. "An impression gained ground thl afternoon that Ex-Governor Glenn will not enter the race; that he real izes the strength of Senator Over man; that he is aware of the ner vous strain of a hot campaign, and tliit he understands what a heavy drain the campaign would be on his resources, accumulated as they hava been iby strenuous work on the- lec ture platform. Some observers ad vance the opinion that even If there were no Federal Job in sight he would not make the race. ' They say that with the prospect l a good place in the administration, he will certainly never enter the contest. , "Governor Glenn is on his way to Atlantic City, wfcere he will rest lecturing for the past ninety days continuously through the middle Western States."
