Well Expressed.

The colored Convention held in this
city some time ago, appointed a com
mittee to draft a public address. From
the address, as printed in the Weldon
News, We take the following:
The class of men of both nces who
Immediately after our emancipation
preached the false and pernicious doc
trine of forty acres of land and "a
mule" are now stalking through the
country with colonization schemes
and holding up TO the eyes Of the ig-
norant, beautifully drawn pictures
of some land unknown to us, and we
are sorry to see the colored people Of
some sections of the State giving Gre
dence to this foolish and suicidal
scheme.
In North Carolina there is land
enough to furnish homes for a million
more families than we now have, a
people as kind, humane and hospita-
bile as any that inhabIts Gods green
earth, a soil as prolific as any within
the temperate zone, a climate as mild
and favorable as can be found anv-
where, and a fellow feeling between
the two races to be found in no State
of the American Union whether North
or South.
Why then this cry of colonization:
Where are we to go? And who are to
care for us while we are In this transi-
tory state: We have clearly shown
that there Is no need for our depart
ure.
1t cannot be urged that we Will be
better off in the scorching and disease
infested coast of West Africa, in some,
to US, unknown island of the sea,
among the avage of the far West or
the u~ncultivated valley Of the Missis-
sippi.
We could not with any degree of
manhood ask the Government to pro-
vide for US after fourteen years of free
dom, and should we ask, we will and
ought to be denied. All that we can
and ought to ask of any class Of PEG
pie at this day is simply place no
stumbling blocks in our way, aid US
in common, and no more, with the
battle of life and the result we are
willing TO answer for at the bar of
good and civilization.
We therefore advise our people TO
shun all colonization schemes, endeav-
or by their every day intercourse 10
peaceablv regulate the relations be-
tween labor and capital, feeling that
we in common with all, are citizens Of
North Carolina, her veal we shal
shnre and her woes we shall feel, and
be ever ready TO say with one Of her
chosen sons. Carolina, Carolina. may
Heavens choicest blessings attend
her.

1t is gratifying to know that such
progression is being made by our ma
tive population in the mechanic arts
within the last decade. When we

The first straddle row c%ultivators
were made by Jethro Tull. at the be-
ginning of the eighteenth century.
The first mould-bOard was hewn out
by ex-Presid2 mt Thomas Jefferson. The
first cast pIow in America was by
Charles New bold, of Burlington coun-
ty, New Jersey. The pillow was all cast
III n piece. The second American
inventor Was Jethro Wood. who cast
the ploW III sections, so that the parts
most exposed TO wear could be re-
placed. The first cast pillow of my ear

Plans for Home Improvement.

Plans for Home Improvement.
Wherever one goes throughout the
country, in our section, he meets with
a bare repetition of a few popular
plants for the most part. This need
not be. SO vast is the number of de-
sirable trees. shrubs. evergreens, vines,
roses, hardy border plants, bulbs and
bedding plants now known, that hun
dreds of gardens may be planted, and
yet each bear its mark of originality,
and show its special beauties to the
passers-by. 1t shall be our task, from
time to time, to say what we know and
have seen of these candidates for popu-
lar favor.
Start with a given end in view. If
your place is small, you will delight in
Its arrangement as planned by your
hreside. and every man may reflect his
individuality in his home, the work of
his own taste.

Climate.

The data upon which are based the
conclusions in regard to the climate of
North Carolina. on which SO much has
been said of late. and of which the ele-
ments are tabuIated and the leading
deductions from their discussion set
down in the Geological Report for 1873,
are derived from tri-daily observa-
lions, made by some 20 observers. scat
tered over the length and breadth of
the State, from Currituck to Cherokee,
and from Rockingham to New Han

The blanks from several stations
for November

The blanks from several stations
have failed to come for November.
BY reference to the tabulated results
of several years of observations. in the
Geological Report for 1915, it will be
seen that. 1st. The mean temperature
of the month is two degrees in excess
of the average. Cd. The Iaiufall is
nearly two inches in excess of the
average. Sd. The humidity is much
higher, as 72 to SO.
The rainfall for the State appears
higher than normal, as will be seen,
on account of the excessive ~precipita-
ton at three points along the middle
northern portion of the State, Leaks
vile, Statesville and Lenoir, and this
result is due to the great rain which
fell in the Piedmont border region of
North Carolina and Virginia the last
week of the month, being in fact more
than half the entire precipitation for
the month at those points.
