We organized two cooperative po tato growers associations in the eotin ty with a membership of 100 in th' associations and have one man ir each association grading, packing ir standard crates and selling for all o( the members. Clean seed were secur ed last spring and treated for black rot and the association is able to pu' on the market a superior product and is getting a better price than the in dividual farmers. In the Kings Moun tain association they are getting a better price than the individual farm ers where they are selling in com petition with each other. It is our plar to bring all of the local potato asso ciations together into a county or ganization whenever the near by mar. ets cant consume our potatoes. We now have 22,000 bushel storage space in the county in standard gov ernment houses. We organized p community club at Bethlehem that has had an average attendance of 150 at each monthly meeting this year. Through this club the community has been able tc standardize and adopt the Poland China breed of hogs, Jersey cattlr and Rhode Island Red poultry. Six herds of registered Jersey cattle have been started in the community this year, ten herds of Poland China hogs and ten farmers building moderr poultry houses and adopting the Rhode Island Red chickens. This com munity has also adopted the Cleve land big boll cotton, and fifteen farm ers last spring bought-each a bushe1 of improved seed fjjom the seed breed er and have improved cotton seed for sale this fall. Four farmers are avow ing pedigreed seed corn of the XJlev elgnd two eared corn which was adopt ed by the community and originate'’ by L G. Blalock of the Bethlehem community.

This is the firnt as ociation of this kind in the state and I consider it one of the best pieces if extension work we hace put across n Cleveland county this year because t will enable the farmer to realize nore for their eggs. We have seven poultry associations n the county with ten or more men n each association agreeing to keep me hundred or more hens of the breed the association has adopted.

Crime On Increase In North Carolina Five Homicides and Two Convictions Average Weekly Record. Disease Is Decreasing Now. Raleigh News and Observer. Five homicides are committed in North Carolina and two men are sent tothe State prison eaeh week to serve sentences for homicide,’according to comparative figures covering 80 months from January 1 1921 to June 8, 1923. secured hy the Ne-.vs and Ob server last Tuesday from the state prison end the state bureau of vital statistics. During the 30 mouths 612 people were killed in North Carolina, and 275 were brought to the state prison to'serve sentences for various de crees of murder, ranging from one year for manslaughter to execution for first degree murder. Twelve jvere for murder in the first degree, 157 for murder in the second degree and 110 for manslaughter. During the year of 1921, 246 honri cides were reported to the Bureau of vital statistics, 105 people were pun ished hy imprisonment or death for murder In 1022, 253 people were kill ed and 09 were convicted and senten ced for murder. During the' first six months of 1923, 113 people met death in homicides, and during the same period 77 men and women were com mitted to the prison for murder. Over the 30 months’ period 941 men and women were committed to ’.he prison to serve sentences for ?rime„ 275 of whom were brought for murder, or about 30 per cent of the convictions were for taking human life. The man killer has 56 chances out of a hundred of not being brought to prison when he has taken a human life, according to the figures of the bureau and the prison, v Homicide ranks next after typhoid fever in the causes for death report ed to the bureau. In 1921 , typhoid deaths totaled 307 and homicides 246. In 1922 typhoid filled 298 and hom icides accounted for 53. Disease de creased end crime increased. The comparative figures for the first six months of the current year are not available. Homicide is defined by the state bureau as any death caused by an other person, other than accidental killings. Included are all deaths in which a person is changed with the killing, whether known to the local registrar or not. Shooting is by far the most widely used method of kill ing .Cutting with knives and razors rank second and assault with automo biles is listed in some cases as hom icide. The figures are not absolutely par allel. Murder committed in 1921 may not be brought to court for a year, and the cases over-lap. But prison of ficials believe that the average would apply over a longer period of years for which figures might be available. Some few cames of manslaughter are punished with road sentences, but the vast majority of them are sent to the state prison. August and December are the grent murder months in the state, ac cording to Dr. F. M. Register, direc tor of the bureau. Prevalence of li quor drinking during the holidays is largely responsible for the number of killings in December, and the lull in Keep Welj Avoid Sickness take DRAMDRETH If Em. 17S2 PILLS QofiQ O dUTw will cleanse the Bystem, purify the blood and keep you well.

Richard T. Vann, affectionately known as the 'armless wonder” walked into the un ion station at Raleigh last week with his Christmas dinner. The noted Baptist preacher winged his gobbler near Hobgood and bring ing him down made him an easy mark for his associates Prior to plucking his turkeyship from the skies the clergyman downed another, but he did not boast of his sportsmanship in begging the first .Evidently he gum shoed the bird. In getting two wild turkeys in one day he turned a feat in sportsmanship that any sharpshooter in the national guard would have l>een glad to match. The former pres ident of Meredith college whose arms were lost when a boy, is a deadshot with a hammerclcss breach loader and a string tied to a trigger pulled by his teeth. It is doubtful if his match is on earth, i Lincoln Creamery In Receiver’s Hands - Lincoln County News.

The first impression of this gigan tic receptacle for the dead,* its sides resplendent with decorations of blue and gold, set against a background of brightly colored paintings of yel low. wa.i almost overwhelming. The feeling was of something incredibly bizsare—something that seemed ut terly to banish the presence of death in this casket of wonderful artistry. oW of the first details to catch the eyes Vas the fact that the golden lid ofthe canopy does not as one im agines from the view obtained from the opening in the wall, slope down from one end to the other. It rises again at the other end giving a grace ful curve effect which ia declared by competent authority to be unique in Egyptology. The lid is not solid but hollow cut, roofing over a space of about four feet between the first and second shrines. In this space it was possible to see —for the doors of first shrine had been removed—a remarkable species of wooden reck or scaffolding, erect ed to carry the immense golden spang led linen pall resting over the second shrine.
