Kan.—Chester SUbro dodged a responsibility to his news paper readers when he announced his marriage in his newspaper, th.a Augusta Dally Gazette. but the town Is inclined to forgive him. He omitted a lot of details about ex actly what the bride wore and gen erally ignored the patterns for stories concerning weddings of im portance, but he did the best he could, considering that a newspaper man gets along all right until he has to write about his own wed ding. Chet published on the first page of the Gazette a picture of the bride.

New Bern, Oct. 1.—"I doubt it them ever was'a oetter time for a man to begin farming, especially in this section," former Senator F. M. Simmons declared in an 'n ter view here the other day. 'Hie retired statesman is following what he preaches to that effect. Although 77 years old, he is devoting himself entirely to his farms and is prepar ing to move from his old home in town to a place he has fitted up for himself and Mrs. Simmons on a farm Just outside the city "I am realizing a life-long wish,” he said. I've farmed many years but most of it- heretofore was at long distance. Now 1 find happiness and content ment in full-time farming. ’ Eastern North Carolina has the natural resources for becoming as rich an agricultural area as there is I in North America and the state as a whole can maintain parity with or [go beyond any other state in both ; volume and variety of agricultural j production." The senator Is of opinion that many national and world-wide re adjustments will have to be made before present economic difficulties will be overcome entirely. "But at this time the small farm er is probably in the best basic po sition of all. In this section he can produce the bulk of the things he needs. He can acquire and improve land cheaply. By living at home, working hard and exercising econ omy, tie can become an Independent citizen in a ve^y short time and withstand any sort of depression. Now Is the time for folk to hold on to their farms and for beginners to sink the foundations of their lives into the soil. This also is the time for farmers to prepare for the bet ter economic conditions which must come about in some way. somehow, ultimately". Lattimore News Of Current Week Mr. ( allihiin S. S.

Thing* If Handled Right Farm ers Make Mistake. To The Star: I have three grape vines on trees j1 one for the birds, one for my friends i and one for myself. Of course the blrrw always get theirs first and no questions asked, I have little pat!-! ence with the man who plants only j one cherry tree and then kills the j birds that come to get a few berries I somehow doubt his religion. Com- j tng back from the mountains a week late I had failed to get my ; usual barbed wire up around myj tree, so as to avoid words' and ar- j guments I heard some leaves rustle j and looking out from the kitchen ! window saw two boys sitting half j way up la my tree. I went to in-1 vestigate, they had hundred pound ; flour sacks, partly filled, and said some other boys told them l would | not care and asked If my name was i not Mr. Spake? They asked me to let them retain their bags, which I j did, but empty. So I put up some! notices and put a roll of barbel wire, around the trees. And went on about my business thinking my i grapes surely would get ripe now j and be safe. But no, next evening, Saturday and 95 in the shade, I had started up town. The colored maid next door caught up with me and said the boys were back again in my grapes. I retracted my steps, hot as it was. and found two very hefty fellows sitting quietly on the j middle limbs, the tree is 15 feet | high. My notices were gone, torn to j i shreds, and they seemed very slow j to answer questions. I called - to Mrs. W., to call Me. P. then the| limbs began to rattle and no threats I of mine would keep those birds up; that tree. (See picture in old Blue !Back, boy in Farmers Apple Tree ' It was funny, I grabbed one when they hit the ground and the other one stood by and lied about tearing dowrn the notices. They showed their ! empty bags and plead innocent 1 Me. was slow coming so I let them j go with admonition not to return.; They haven't and by so doing saved themselves some number eight bird shot. I could have run a live wire through the tree and electr: ; cuted them, but I did not wish to ' do that, nor did I want to do like the farmer’s son over in Madison county who shot in the dark at a noise In his father's melon patch and found one dead next morn ing with an hundred shot in Ms face. Now, I am going to tell these j boy* what T think of them, yes I have their names and may yet col lect damages for breaking the vines, just such people as you, amt your forbears have denuded this coun try and made it barren. You have pulled down vines and destroyed trees 'till there Is very little, left for man or beast. And yet just 100 years ago this piedmont and moun tain country was the mast fruitful and delightful section of any pSr* of the globe. There was an abun dance of fish and game, and fruits anti berries of the finest quality and most delicious flavor for every one and then some. I have seen in the mountains where you have cut the vine in twain with the axe that had been rowing and bearing for an hundred years. I know yv/ftr marks, I see them around tiiy farm, where you full down the vines, and cut the persimmon trees for opos sums, get all you can and leave it bare for the next tenant, and not only that, you have eroded the land and left 100.000 acres of land be hind you every year for the past century absolutely worthless and unproductive and untillable Yes. you are the ones that come around now for a hand-out. and tramp from place to place, stealing and robbing, and filling our jail and prison camps. On Sunday morning a stout man called at the back door, Mrs. W. had gone to church. I said. "where from and where to?*' Answer, ‘from Asheville to Charlotte." I said you fool turn back now. they have more like you In Charlotte than they can feed, the whole earth in the mountains Is covered with food. Thousands of bushels of apples ly ing there now that will never be used. He got a piece of my mind, also a hand out. Next morning, Mon day. early a man on the street ask ed for a nickel to get a cup of cof fee. I said, look down the street, see he said “yes, cotton patch” and took the hint and moved, that way. Now ladies, when these back door callers knock on your door, just in vite them in and make them be seated—step to the phone. call Mack or the deputy and then go back and give them plenty to keep | them busy till the sheriff gets there. Don't be too tender-hearted about this, for some of them would knock you in the head and take what you had if they could get away with it. and some of them i do even that. Sixty thousand bales! of cotton In this county need pick-j ing right now very badly, so let the! hungry help and then be fed. be-! fore an October storm puts it alj on! the ground and makes It worthless, j I told you a year ago prosperity j was just around the corner But j then I did not know the tanners, were goivg to meet the very next j week and set the price of picking I rom *1.50 previous year, down to )0c per hundred. As I had none to pick, I did not advise. They should nave said 75c last year and then 50 ;ents this year and then every lit le picka-niny would have had mo iey to spend and your business jvould have been good. With bud jveather last year 30,000 bales of the ■ounty's cotton would have been pasted, figure that out for your self, and the same threat holds >ver the present crop. With luck *e get it, and without we don't. X ncan with the low price for pick ng, the laborer Is always worthy of lis hire. Our governor. wants to know vhere all our criminals cpme from, 19 white and 3 colored every Sun lay at Raieigh. Why we are just trowing them every day. Start from .lie co|jrt house and go to any joint of the compass for miles out md you will find children growing jp that never attend any church :;r Sunday school and often slip >ut of the day schools, and the parents go very irregularly if at all ;o church and in some cases the Sabbath is spent In drunken rows, (am glad to say this does not ap ply to our colored population < Home live hundred of us sancti fied "amen” men go regularly ev ei y Sunday morning and listen to tohn Mull and Clyde Hoev talk very pleasingly to us, then, we go sack home and pat ourselves on the back and say “arn’t we the saints I hough”, we never miss a Sunday— fine record. Well, think it over, may be we are responsible for some of hese little ones after all. they arc the ones, governor, from which our criminals are made, and they are growing right around us, though probably we don’t see them. Ves. the tree sitters made my grapes sour, some people are .lust soj mean they do that. You know' and I have not been quite so sweet tempered myself either, but I will tell you that over in Switzerland for years they have been curing al most every disease known to the' human race by just feeding the pa Lents grapes and keeping them in i that high Alpine air and pure sun light. Eat grapes, then more grapes | But I have decided I don’t want to shoot any of my neighbors, and if my son-in-law' had to arrest them and an other son-in-law had to pass sentence on them it would just be too had. I had rather give them a good flogging and let it go at that. J. A. WILSON New Officers At Second Baptist Ch. Church Will Have Conference Sun day. Dr. Muckle To Speak At 7:30.
