FARMERS INSTITUTE.
The Kersai Meeting Coud uctors Urged
More Care In Farm
Work.

The Kensal Journal says the wealth
er prevented agoOd many from attend
ing the institute last week but the
interest taken in the meeting was
great among those who were present.
Mr.. Greedy who was the conductor at
jamestown last winter again urged
farmers to grow corn as the most pro-
futable forage crop and natural soil
fertilizer.
In regard to fax growing Mr.. Bush
OF Minnesota said emphatically that
the fertility Of the soil was not con-
sumed by the crop but with proper
rotation the could be grown year after
year. He warned farmers OF this Sec
tion to profit by the experience Of
farmers of southern Minnesota who
are at present suffering with flax wilt
and who will be almost entirely unable
to raise fax for six or seven years to
come. He strongly advised tie use OF
fOrmaldahide as flax seed treatment.
flr. Thompson Of the eAgriculturalc col
lege at Fargo demonstrated a chart
showing what could be accomplished
by proper cultivation OF the soil, and,
contrary to the general belief, stated
that late fall plowing was preferable
to early.

ALLIANCE HAIL CO.
All 1908 Losses Paid. Aaother
Payment For 1902
Losses.

J. NJ. Smith, president of the ALI
ance Hail Insurance Association was
in the city yesterday on an official
visit to q. T. Hills, the association
secretary. Mr.. Smith paid the secre
ttary high compliment for efficiency
in the management of the office.
Business is reported as having been
very satisfactory the past season and
the stockholders will benefit by or
I per cent dividend. Besides this the
company will make a further payment
of about per. cent on Losses unpaid in
1902 owing to lack Of funds at that
time.
This feature is said to be one char
acterestic of this association alone
and is due toa more liberal construc-
tion of the law than is made by some
other companies in such cases. The
law reads, in effect, that If fund S
available are insufficient to meet all
losses then lossers shall be paid pro
rata and some companies have regard
ed this sort of payment as sufficient to
exOnerate them from further pay
ments. The Alliance however mas
constructed the law differently and is
making all payments in full which
should gain it many friends. All
losses for this year have been paid in
full.

STATE HOSPITAL XMAS.
Aunua Circular To Friends Add
Re atives OF
Patients.

Superintendent Moore has issued
his annual circular letter regarding
contributions towards the Christmas
at the state hospital. DR.. Moore says:
We try to do something every year
in this Hospital to make our patients
realize. to some extent, the joy and
good that prevails at Christmas
time in the world outside.
Many patients have relatives and
friends who send them gifts at such
times, and such fortunate person S
have no cause to complain .of their
Christmas cheer; but we have large
class Of patients who receive no direct
gifts during the holiday season. Some
of them have no known relatives or
friends, and are separated from all
those directly interested in them, or,
as is not an infreQuent occurrence,
those who are interested directly in a
patient are too poor to make any gifts.
1t has been a custom. for some years
past for charitably-inclined people to
make some donation in money, for
articles Of personal use, extra food
palatable drinks, clothing, pictures,
books. etc, which are then applied by
the Superintendent, SO that the friend
less, poor patients may get some mea-
sure Of enjoyment at Christmas time.
Anything you may be able to spare
us this year will be thankfully received
and may be sent in my care at any
date-early or late-as soon as you can
conveniently, if you make up your
mind you can spare us something.
Ii it is desired to send anything TO-
wards general celebration tor the
enjoyment Of all patients here, you
will also enclose this to me.
Thanking you in advance for your
attention and possible contribution,
Very truly,
Dwight S. Moore, NJ. d.
Superintendent.

of the alumni which was addressed by
John p. Lee, Esq, of Suffolk, Va, a
member of the class who graduated II

demands OF the new era" and his speech

gestlons as to the equipment young
people should have to succeed in the
twentieth century, At the conclusion of
the address, a banquet was held aftel
which there We're many amusing post
frandial speeches.
This morning Governor Charles B. Ay-
cock, accompanied by State Treasurer
Benj. r. Lacy arrived, and at the hour
of 1870 the spacious chapel was filled
to overlooking with people to sese and
hear North Cardinals great educational
Governor. Prayer was offered by Rev.
j. L. Foster, of Raleigh, and then Presi-
dent w. w Staley in a few graceful
words introduced Governor Aycock,
whose address was brilliant and logical.
Governor Aycocks address was charac-
teristic of the great man, who will go down
in history as North Cardinals great edu-
cational executive. He spoke of his ad-
ministration being pledged to the cause
of education and expressed himself as will
ing to work all in his power to bring
about the education of every son and
daughter of the State. He favored uni
versal education, which he defined as
bringing out and developing the good and
depressing the bad. Many white people
and nearly all the negroes have an idea
that education means to quit work. and
if that was true, for one he would like
to see all the places of learning demolished
He would educate the ditcher and car
penter, the builder the farmer and all the
professions to equip themselves to do the
very best work in their lines. He was glad
that North Carolina no longer stood at the
foot as to illiteracy and hoped and be-
lieved it would soon overcome its thrift
lessness.
At the conclusion of Governor Aycocks
address State Treasurer Lacy was present
ed and made a happy little speech

BISHOP A. COKE SMITH GIVES
our AN EMPHATIC DENIAL.
He Declares the Story Printed Giving Reasons
for his Change of Residence is
Hoax,

Especial to News and Observer
Norfolk, Va, June 3.-Bishop A. Coke
Smith, of the Methodist Episcopal church,
in an interview printed here today, en-
phatically denies the story printed in many
papers in Virginia and North Carolina
relative to an alleged cause for his removal
from Charlotte to Norfolk. Tile stc>3 was
that the bishops removal was due to the
fact that there are two North Carolina
clergymen who aspire to be bishops, and
that the bishops residence within the
bounds of the State would seriously inter
fere with the ambitions of these gentle
men.
Bishop Smith said today that the publ
cation had caused him considera bic an
noyance, and that he had been kept busy
writing letters in regard thereto ever since
it was printed. "You may say, sa.>. the
bishop, that the publication is hoax out
of the whole cloth. After had announced
my intention of removing to Virginia some
one spoke to me about the rumor as to
the other ministers, to whom ] replied:
'I'll not be in The way, I'll not stay here -
In saying this / had in mind going back
to Virginia in pursuance of my previous
ly announced intention. My leaving
North Carolina was in no way due to such
a cause as has been given"
Bishop Smith and his family are now
occupying their summer home at Will
loughby Beach. In the fall they will come
up to this city. A movement is on foot
here in which prominent laymen are in
terested for the purpose of providing a
handsome home in this city for Bishop
Smith A large portion of the sum re.
quired, about $4,000, has already been
subscribed
