Justice, author of the Justice Xrelght rate act and now of the depart ment of justice at Washington, was In Xalelgh recently In conference with Coventor Craig, Attorney General T. W. Blckett and Meeara. Winston & Biggs, counsel for the atate, regard tag preparation! for the cross-examln-sutoa of the railroad offlcali the lat ter part of thla month with a view to breaking down the force of the array xf figure presented by the rallroa orwpantes on direct examination.

Tate of the Freight Rate Asso ciation, High Point; J. C. Forester, rate expert for the Greensboro board f trade; W. S. Crelghton, expert for the Charlotte board of trade, and T. J. Ryan, expert for the North Carolina Furniture Manufacturers' Association, High Point The whole scope of the rata situa tion and the evidence that has been presented by the railroad companies IV res ' ftjpectl l? Pdlrec considered, and a general line t procedure agreed upon. Theae pros. active witnessea for the atate were directed to work out figures that will break down the position taken by the railroad companies aa to contractors ffect or injustice of the reduced rates prescribed by the Justice act After the conference, Mr. Justice took occasion to say that he regards the figures presented By the railroad companies as entirely and grossly -misleading and that he has pointed out these fallacies to the counsel for the atate and the experts, so that they may work out the real facta that -should control the final taxing of (he Tales. He saya the railroad compa nies bar entirely too great a part of the operating expenses of their lines charged against the Intrastate freight "business and have their operating ex penses placed a whole lot too high aa well He remarked that if the intrastate bualness for the other states served by the Southern Railroad Company were figured out on the same basis as that applied in North Carolina, they would xepresent fully 200 per cent of operat 1ng expenses of the whole system. Re insists that the counsel for the atate will have no trouble in breaking down the figures the railroad compa nies have presented, ahd that the rea sonableness of the rates prescribed -will be fully vindicated. Too Late to Prevent Lynching, . Speeding IS miles across country In . automobiles under urgent orders from Governor Craig to avert a threatened . lynching. Assistant Adjutant General ordon Smith and .Capt. W. F. Moody, - commanding a squad of 40 men of Company B, Third Regiment North ' Carolina Guard, reached their destina tion just beyond Wendell, across the . county xline in Johnston count, only to find the body of the negro they -were attempting to save riddled with bullets and bis head literally beaten Into a pulp. A mob of infuriated cltl Tens had taken him from Sheriff Crimes of Johnston county and his deputies and taken his life for his con i leased crime of murdering Mrs. Wil liam Lynch recently..

W. Fry of Greensboro and W. T., Kyle, now of the traffic department of the Norlfolk Southern, being the witnesses ex amined. The state was represented by A. L. Brooks of Greensboro as counsel and the railroad companies by Assistant General Counsel George Elliott, of the Atlantic Coast Line. The hearing was a continuation of the session some weeks ago when Harry Walters, chairman of the board of directors of the Atlantic Coast Line, und a number of officials of both the Coast Line and the Southern testified as to the circumstances of the pur chase of the road by the two roads and Its partition between them. A special feature of the tostlraony of both Mr. Fry and Mr. Kyle was that about two years before the receiver ship of the Cape Fear and Yadkin Val ley, of which they were respectively general manager and general traffic manager, there were overtures from the Norflok ft Western for the con struction of a connecting link between the C. F. ft Y. V. at Mount Airy and the Norfolk ft Western at the must ac cessible point In Virginia, and that some part of such a link was actually graded, but never Ironed. Furthermore, they stated, that when the Norfolk ft Western later pun has ed the Roanoke ft Southern, Roanoke Cnlnm tMa titfln tnr the the newly acquired line giving Inter section with the Cape Fear ft Yad kin Valley at Rural Halt Then there were overtures of traffic arrangements between the two roads and the officers of tlie C. F. ft Y. V. were Invited te New York for a meeting to work out traffic arrangements that would make Rural Hall and Winston-Salem basing point for freight rates much on the or der of, if not quite so low, aa thos Virginia cities enjoy. This meeting Was never held and the Cape Fear ft Yadkin Valley soon thereafter went Into the hands of a receiver and wax later divided between the Atlantis Coast Line and the Southern. Report of Fish Commission. The report of Fish Commissioner J H. LeRoy to the state geological boarj made a remarkable showing as to dlf ferences between the fisheries condi tions in this state and Virginia. In the first place, he showed thai the lack of law In this state against the catching and marketing of under size mullet is making possible terribls Inroads on the mullet crop In thlt state. Of late shipments of undersized mullet to Norfolk and other Virginia points have been condemned and the fish not only stopped from being sold but actually confiscated and destroy ed.' Now the under-slze fish are being marketed In this atate. It Is Insisted) that the catching and sale of such small fish should be pro hibited in this state to assure their be ing left In the water for further growth. Move Marshal's Office. All of the furniture and equipment olf the office of United States marshal was shipped from Greensboro to Ashe- vllle, where Marshal Webb will have his offices In the future. It Is prob able that the offices here vacted by the removal will be occupied by the office force of Revenue Agent Vander ford, who has been directed by Com missioner Osborne to move his offices from Ashevllle to Greensboro. f Nine Postmasters Confirmed. The folowlng North Carolina post masters were confirmed: P. H. Lin vllle, Walnut Cove; A. Elmer Powell, Wbltevllle; Galther G. Blackwelder China Grove; J. M. McCracken, Gra ham; W. G. Bradshaw, High Point; F. C. Gilliam, Kannapolls; G. H. Rus sell, Laurtnburg; E. C. Winchester, Monroe; James W. Smith, Norwood. - Governor Issues Requisition, Governor Craig lBued a requislitton on the governor of Alabama for P. L. Klncard, now being held In Hunts vllle, Ala., for the North Carolina au thorities. He Is wanted In High Point on' a charge of defrauding the Colum bia Furniture Company of High Point out of $406. Revenue Officers Make Raid. State Revenue Officers H. G. Gulley, J, P. Stell and J. E. Lowe returnee recently from a place in Johnston county, fifteen miles below th etown of Smlthfleld, where they went a few days ago, and where they destroyed two thousand gallons of beer, one bar rel of molasses and another barrel ot low wine. The officers have for some time had this trip in mind, and are of the 'opinion that had they .struck at the point at the proper time they would have been able to catch the owners of the business. Trustees Take No Action. - , After s spirited discussion of the subject the trustees of the University of North Carolina in annual session at Raleigh a few days ago decided not to take apy action as to petitioning for $50,000 from the Carnegie, fund for the erection of Y. M. C. A. building at the University, but made it clear' that In the event the students raised the 25,000 they desire and seore the $50,000 from the Carnegie fund for a $75,000 building, that the board win provide $800 a year for maintenance. ' SYSTEMATIC CULLING tipster? T'-' - Live 8 tack Means A systematic culling out of a flock and the replacing of the culls by the most thrifty and promUlng is a fea ture of sheep management that de serves more thought than Is ordinarily given to It. It must be attended to annually If the owner expects to make any progress In the general improve ment of his sheep. When weaning the lambs Is the most opportune time for this work, for It Is then that the owner can best estimate the value of each ewe on the basis of her performance, both lamb la strung .aou rui aim mother has a healthy, rugged ap pearance, the chances are that aha Is , CLEAN CULTURE KILLS ALFALFA WEEVILS mh. m w, m. msy I just I jucr I am.

The weevil passea the winter aa an idult insect, having gone Into hiberna tion in late summer and early fall. The time of entering hibernation varies greatly tn different years and In dif ferent localities. If the summer Is long with warm, sunshiny weather through out the latter part of the season, the weevils enter hibernation late and many .of them perish before the sum mer ends. On the other hand, It the late summer Is rather cool and cloudy, they will go Into hibernation earlier and apparently more of them pass through the winter successfully. The place of hibernation la as varied aa the regions where it occurs. Many secure a shelter under dead weeds and dead grass along ditch banks, fence rows and around trees. Others crawl under old stack bottoms, piles of hay left In the fields, under bark of fence posts or dead trees, under bands on orchard trees, under sticks, stones and almost UTILITY IS CHIEF STANDARD Importance of Careful and Systematic Selection and Mating Must Bs Insisted Upon. (By R. O. WEATHEBSTONE.) In the breeding of today utility swings to the front as the chief stand- arA nf merit VfiT this to hfi SBCUred and perpetuated the Importance of careful and systematic selection ana mating must be everywhere insisted upon. We talk about man being helped or Mnriarail hv his environments, bv bovs being brought up under a choked en vironment, but do we stop to consiaer the environments of the farm animals from which we are trying to reap a tiernat nf rain, or the animals that are performing our farm workT Thtt neeMBfiil rintrvmah la the man who applies the most improved busi ness methods to his aairy -operations from the cow to the delivery of his produce to the consumer. , It Is difficult to conceive of a good nt fnrmliif without there Is a systematic ' rotation of . crops. Any other system Is based largely upon a hit and miss plan and ia largely de pendent upon the season and mar kets. The man who follows a definite cropping plan every year is the winner during a series of years. The practical farmer should regard his farm as a book ot nature that Is nraad ml hrnr him. inviting the closest study and the most careful ob servation tit facts pertaining to sou, MllmA vaHatv nf nrnduotlon to which it Is adapted and the markets for the products. Use Pure Bred Bulls. . The pure bred bull haa done a great deal to improve the dairy herds of the middle west All states, or at least the principal ones, are reporting aa increased dairy production and the re sults may be 'traced to better, cows, not more of them. . OF THE SHEEf FLOCK 1 "Mri-J Good Homes. qualified to give service for at least another year, especially If on further examination of the ewe herself It Is found she still has a full sound set of teeth and that her skin has a good pink, healthy color. At the time the flock master Is cull ing the evres he should deride cn which ewe lambs should be kept to perpetuate the flock. His selection should be baaed on the principle of flock uniformity In all points of site and type and upon the appearance of the lambs that are selected. The cull may go to market in the best possible condition. any debris that may be found on the ground around buildings and in the fields. By far the larger number of weevils appear to hibernate In the fields. They do not burrow far beneath the aurtace unless the ground Is very loose and soft, and then they may go down three or four Incbea Into the ground. To destroy the hibernating places as far as possible should be the aim of the careful farmer. This means clean up the weeds, grass and all rubbish alor- ditches and fences. Destroy old stack bottoms. Do not leave small piles of hay In the fields. Burn or plow under all the dead vines, weeds, stalks, etc., reft In the garden at the close of the season. Do not leave large manure piles or other unneces sary materials around the 'barns or outbuildings. Cut and carefully re move the alfalfa along the borders of the fields, as well as as you do that in the center. Don't keep your horses In poorly ventilated stables. , . A poultryman who Is successful, works all the time. -- A mule never overeats or over drinks. Think this over. v- Ventilation Is necessary but there Is a difference between ventilation and draughts. It is generally estimated that broil ers shrinkabout a halt pound each when dressed. ' The most expensive policy ia to try to save feed by giving the cows less than they can use. Keep the sheep pen level and keep It dry. Any moisture is dangerous, causing snuffles, etc. . , Never market ailing chickens Never ship the latter part of the week, except by special order. "Squab broilers" must not weigh over three-quarters of a pound each; generally a half pound la most ac ceptable. v ,. - The raising of a couple of good horse or mule colts on the farm each year does not call for an Increased Investment . , Many of the farms that have bad one silo before are using two this year. This is further evidence that the silo pays. Short legged fowls generally make the best table poultry. Never pack poultry for shipment until they have been thoroughly chilled. teLEJAL:....
