QUESTIONS FOR DISCUSSION IN
FARMERS CLUBS.

With the view Of aiding our friends
and facilitating the selection Of sub
iects for discussion in the meetings
of farmers clubs, we respectfully
suggest the following:
is it wise to produce any n
crop to the exclusion of others, and
depend on buying farm supplies?
What is the least price at which
we can afford to raise tobacco or
cotton?
is it wise or safe to give crop
liens or mortgages?
Should our public roads be
worked better, and if so, how?
is the extensive use of CONNER
cial fertilizers, as now practiced by
our farmers, a benefit or an evil to
the agricultural interests?
What is the best homemade
compost for tobacco, and how is it
made? What for cotton?
What benefits can the farmers
derive from organization?
Should the farmers have a thor
ough organization-township, coun-
ty, and State?
Gould sheep raising be made
profitable in our section?
Should not the farmers take
some paper devoted to the farming
interests?
What are the benefits derived
from u State Agricultural Depart
ment?
How does the "stock law" bene-
fit us?
Would county fair be beneficial
to us?

RIOT AND

There was serious trouble in two
Western cities last week-Chicago,
ILL.,, and Milwaukee, Wis. In both
cities thousands of workingmen, un-
der the influence of socialistic lead
ers, struck for eight hours instead of
ten, as a days work. In both cities
the situation was so threatening as
to call out the full police force. In
Chicago, Wednesday, there was col
lision between the police and a body
of the strikers, in which revolvers
were used and several persons killed
before the rioters were dispersed.
On the next night they assembled
in large numbers to listen to more
harangues and demanding vengeance
for their friends shot the day before.
A large force of police drove rapidly
into the crowd, which was ordered to
dispense. A burning fuze was seen
in tHe air and Immediately a dyna-
mite bomb exploded in the middle of

THE RALEIGH CATTLE SHOW.

The cattle show held in Raleigh
on the 9th inst. was a grand success.
1t exceeded the expectations of all,
and shows not only the progress
that one county has made in the
rearing of fine cattle, but what every
county in the State, with proper eff:
fort, might do. The Raleigh Nems
and Observer quotes Mr.. c.. w. Gar
rott, who raises some fine cattle him
self, as saying:
II am just back from New York,
and while there | saw the herd Of
Jerseys owned by Mr.. Havemeyer.
They were very beautiful animals,
and [ was informed that some of
them cost up into the thousands, but
[ do not think the herd superior to
Mr.. W. G. Upchurch's. | doubt if a
better herd can be found in the coun-
try. The cattle show is a credit not
only to Wake county but to the
State and will have an effect upon
the whole South"
In all there were 1917 cattle on
CAuIU1UIOu, NdluCu III IOuIu LSulCS
at $4,000, a pretty good showing,
when it is remembered that these
cattle came rom within a radius of
four miles, and when it is re-
membered, too, that all this has been
achieved by a small number of pro-
gressive men within less than ten
years. 1t shows what other people
could do if they would try, and
how immensely the wealth of North
Carolina farmers might be increased
if they would turn their attention in
that direction.
Realizing the Importance of mu-
tual counsel the cattle-raisers Of
Wake county have organized a "cat-
tie club" the object of which is to
promote and encourage the breed
ing of fine cattle and the discussion
of such topics as may be of interest
to cattle-raisers. This shows that
they are not content with the sue
less they have met with, but pro-
pose to march on in the line of pro-
gress: All honor to them, for while
they + doing SO they are doing
which will tell in time, to the
whole State.

A RIOSI

A very respectable gentleman of
this city had killed yesterday a fat,
hearty Muscovy duck for dinner to-
day. In the gizzard of this duck
was found even pieces of ten-penny
nails, and some of the pieces were
more than half the nail, and two
whole fve-penny nails. The five
pennies were stuck through the
inner lining of the gizzard. How
any fowl could live with such a
quantity of iron in it's gizzard is a
mystery. The old fellow, said the
gentleman, was fat and saucy. But
maybe he intended lis sauce as
irony.-NeUberne journal.

means they desire to "foster, i'm

PROGRESSIVE FARMER will be represented
and heartily wishes the fair all manner

lay the foundation for what would most
naturally follow, a county fair.

FARMERS vi

We suggest to our farmers the
propriety of forming a club in each
township, to meet once a month,
and a central club to meet three
times per year, say during each
court week. There is strength in
union, and these clubs would greatly
promote agricultural knowledge and
draw the great farming class together
in sympathy. Let a dozen such
clubs be established in Chatham
county; and the next crop would
show their utility.
Will our leading farmers take
hold of this matter and step to the
Chatham Home.

we find letter in tho Southern Pres.
bytcrian Of tho 11th Instant, from q
member Of one OF the former congrega-
gations-Mt. Zion or Mayesvillo IN Sum
ter County-of Rev. j. S. Cozby, tho
new Pastor OF the Presbyterian Church
OF our, city, which shows the great love
ana appreciation felt for him at these
churches and the reluctance with which
thcy gavo him up. He had been tho
Pastor Of the Mt. Zion Church since
1873. When it was heard for the first
time that he thought Of going away, tho
young men Of Mt. Zion Church met
on the following day and agreed upon q
pan OF taking steps to prevent his car
rying out this purpose. On the next
aay,. Sunday, just before the hour for
1of fcharcii services, Mr.. Cozby received u
message saying that the young men OF
tnc congregation desired an interview
win film. On his appearance they form
cd Il circle around him, and with one OF
their number as spokesman, expressed
their sorrow at the prospect Of losing
him and begged him in the most urgent
manner to reconsider his determination,
ana not to leave but to live and die
among them. 1t was q most touching
scene, for there, were tears in all eyes
and the plea was one which Mr.. Cozby
could not lightly set. aside. In that
crown OF lnlfCy or moro representing
the youth Of his congregation, not more
than four or five were connected with
the church; and but seldom Is 1t given
to. minister to wield such an influence
over the unregencrate. '"'
No less. strong was the action Of the
church. The resignation was uaa,,i--
maousty rejected, and commission ap-
pointed TO wait on Mr.. CoZby and beg
him to recall it, and not permit it to go
to. Prcsbytcry, for, said they, owe are
afraid to trust Prcsbytery." Nothing
but Mr.. Cozby's firm conviction Of
duty and his urgent appeal to the
people to put no further obstacle ia
bis, way, prevented their fighting the
question on tho floor. of Prcsbytery.
They yielded to,his wishes while doing
violence to their feelings.
The steps taken by the Mayesville
church were as strong as those in Mt.
Zion: first, the passage of resolutions
earnestly entreaLing him to reconsider
the matter; and then, when he could
not overcome his deep conviction Of
duty, most reluctant consent to the
