Nixon, an ordinary iron wedge used for splitting rails, has been in the Nixon family for generations, hand ed down from father to son. It was, to Mr. Nixon's knowledge, owned by lis great-great-grandfather. The wedge is still used sometimes about the home place of T. W. Nixon, near Hertford. T. W. Nixon is one of the county's most successful fanners and one of its most substantial citizens. He owns half a dozen farms in the coun ty, several town Tots in Hertford, and other property. He has reared a large family but he is still not an old man, is still making money. The first money, however, that he ever made after he became twenty one years of age, he says, he made by splitting rails at the price of $1.00 for 300 rails. He used this same wedge to split those first rails. Splitting rails, time-honored labor, once the occupation of Abraham Lincoln, was the means of livelihood for a great many men as recently as forty years ago. Practically all of the fences on the farms of the South, until recent years, were made of rails split from the native pine and cypress. The implements used to split rails were an axe, an iron wedge and a wooden maul. It must have been more than a day's work to split 300 rails, so that one didn't get rich quick at this back-breaking labor. Not many rails are split nowadays. There is no longer the same neces sity for fences that was the case before the "no fence" laws which came into existence some twenty live years ago. Before this period, when whosoever would might allow his livestock to run at large, cows grazing by the roadside, pigs wal lowing in the mud holes of the road, very farmer must of necessity keep ftis fences about his fields in good repair. It took a lot of rails for fences then. Now that fencing is only necessary for pasturing live stock, few rails are used, as most of -he fences are made of wire. It would be interesting to know how many other small fortunes were begun with' an axe, an iron wedge and a mauL ' THIS WEEK'S RECIPE jHEIRLOOM j I ' BREAD AND BUTTER PICKLES fji 1 gallon sliced cucumbers !: 2 cups sliced onions ' I cup salt I 2 teaspoons' mustard seed 'i 1 teasponncekry seed . 4 I 1 teaspoon- allspice '(ground) k ( fteaspooh' tumeric- i Irteaspodif -black- pepper, . -I I 8 'cups sugar' t,"' ; i l I .

Textile School Places All 1936 Graduates The Textile School of North Caro lina State College this year graduat ed the largest class in its history and every graduate has been placed in a textile position. A large per centage of these young men have been located in North Carolina, which would seem to indicate that the textile industry offers North Carolina boys an opportunity to se cure employment in their own native state. Dr. Thomas Nelson, Dean of the Textile School, stated recently that he had been unable to supply all the requests for graduates which came to him. He said that in his opinion, the scientific improvements of recent years in textile machinery, processes of manufacturing, and methods of distribution, made the textile indus try a more fertile field than ever before for college trained men. To day State College Textile graduates are filling responsible positions in every phase of this great industry and the demand for graduates of this institution is steadily increasing. For two consecutive years the Tex tile School of North Carolina State College has enrolled more full time day students than any other textile school in America. Some idea of the wide reputation of this School can be gained by ob serving that during the past year the homes of its students ranged from Canada to Mexico and to other for eign countries.

In a series of broadcasts, heard every other Wednesday, Dr. G. W. Forster, agricultural economist for the North Carolina Experiment Sta tion, is attempting to explain both sides of the tax question as it relates to farmers. The next in this series will be heard July 15. Dr. Forster maintains that the present tax system is too rigid. It is not flexible enough to meet sudden changes in incomes, and the incomes food conservation and marketing, in of farmers vary quite often to a teresting and helpful. This f discus- marked degree, when the farm come is low, growers probaoiy pay ... i more than a, fair share of the tax load, but when incomes advance sharply, such as they did during AAA days, farmers probably expend less for taxes than is fair. Dr. Forster believes that a more flexible tax system can be enacted. In his radio talk for July 15, he will Harding And Marshall r "",L j. Ann Harding and Herbert Marshall are co-starred in -The Lady Con sents" at the Taylor Theatre, Eden ton, Friday.
