To Escape the Winter Weather.

At this season of the year good many people are wanting to know where to go to escape the severe winter weather. The climate of North Carolina is partie- ularly pleasant during the winter months. 1t is not so warm as the c1im- ate of Florida and yet it offers relief from the severe weather of this locality. Southern Pines, N. O., is newly founded village where hundreds of Northern people are sojourning.

Cotton is one of the most exhaustive
crops grown in this country. under
the old slave system the soil was soon
worked out, and the south alone made
success of the culture of the plant
because 1t had enormous areas Of new
land to turn to as the old fields became
worn out. In those days the cotton
seed was returned to the soil as fer
tilizer, but in these later times the
seed is proving to be almost as valu-
able as the lint, and SO the crop is
pulling harder than ever before on the
soil. The use of commercial fertilizers
and such legumes as are adapted to
the south is being made, but the fact
remains that when once the new lands
are all utilized for this crop then will
come the beginning of the end of the

WOULD MARRY TINE HrRED MEN

An eastern paper says that this coun
try needs several shiploads Of stalwart
and Industrious girls from Ireland and
Scandinavia to meet the demand for
domestic help. We do not think that
such an Importation would help the sit
uation materially. for the girls would
not be in this country year until they
would marry the hired man, and then
the farmer would be left without help
on the farm and in the house too. Not
until this country becomes more dense
ly populated and its opportunities for
bright and ambitious young men and

going to have a plentiful and reliable

PRODUCED SCARLET FEVER
Nuisance That Is Alleged to Have
Been Maintained in the Hornet
District

Timothy Manion was tried before
Judge Nelson this afternoon on a
charge of maintaining nuisance in de-
posting manure in creek in the Hornet
district. The case had been continued
from last Wednesday.
DR.. Sheeran, county physician, testi-
fed that the defendants boy had been
seen by him hauling manure to the
creek: that there had been many COM
plants; that Manion had been notified
to abate the nuisance more than once.
hut that nothing had been done; that
there has been an overpowering Odor
floating down the creek, and that is is
growing worse; and that there have been
four cases of scarlet fever among the
families on the creek. The doctor said
these people might catch something
worse presently.
Manion testified that he engaged a
drayman to haul the manure to the city
dump, but the drayman had failed to
execute the contract owing to wet
weather. Another man had hauled two
or three loads away at his request.
Manion said he did not know who put
the manure in the creek.
Sanitary Policeman Kelly testified to
notifying Manion to remove the manure,
but Manion denied having been notified.
The case was still on trial at a late
hour this afternoon.
