The officers locatled the barrel and then stood guard and finally captured a number cf imen. The liquor had been almost entirely consumed. been discovered that the roll was not called upon one of the amendritents and nobody now knows whether this amendments vital or not. The Su preme court recently overthrew Burke county's big bond Issue because the roll call was omitted in an important I J 1 .1- - . t .

It was a roll call meas ure, of course, but the question now Js the importance of that failure. In the Burke case the eourt hleld the amendment offered to be capitally lm rortant. Whether it would decide that the change of dates for holding elec tions was of equal dignity depends entirely upon a court decision. In the meantime bond buyers are skit tish. It is believed In financial circles here that the bidders have declined to take hold of those bonds largely for that reason, although the State puts up its credit and of course could vali date any blunder that has been made. Rockingham county, (yesterday lost its $200,000 issue in the action of Ben- mett vs the commissioners restraining Swset Potatoes. They are no longer an experiment in Rockingham County. Thtey form a good part of the crop of every pro gressive farmer. And every farmer who has planted theiai has found them to be a good paiying crop. Llet us put in a good acreage this season . They are quoted in Asheville this week at '$2.40 per bushel. 75c per bushel straight out of the hills Is a good price, and allows a fine margin of profit. With properly prepared seed bled, and anything like decent treat ment, 300 bushels to the acre can be made. Preparation ought to be made now for planting, and if you have not put down your own Blips, then order them, through the C. & A. Association. The price this year is $1.50 per thou sand slips. Cotton seed meal Is a splendid fer tilizer. Using this, plant your slips 12 inches apart; the mleal should be put in very lightly just enough to show color, and when the plants have been in about two to three weeks, run thle "scooter along the side of the plants, then cover. Slips set 12 inches apart, with slight expense for fertilizer, will produce more potatoes to. the acre. The po tatoes will be smaller than if planted 18 inches apart in the drill, but the trice wll be just as good, and the demand Is greater . for the average than for the larger sizes . Encouraging Signs Reports- redeived troqjracbus sec. tlons on business conditions continue to be characterized by optimism. Bu siness men returning from financial centers say that the situation, from an industrial and commercial stand point, is good and getting better all the white. The Greensboro Record quotes a prominent banker of that city, who recently attended a meeting of bank ers in Nlew York," as saying that every body there was optimistic. There was no fear of a tight money market. The reports indicated plenty of money now with more In sight as a result of large war purchases to be maade in the near future. .
