New York, May 29.--All the guns
on the bat,leships in the navy yard are
being examined by an expert from

nance.
Among the vessels which the expert
will examine is The Iowa. He will
make an exhaustive search for the
cause of the accident. 1t bias been de-
cided that the cost of repairs to the

An Unusual March.

Unusual spells of weather are very
common, but as a matter of fact
there has been practically no March
weather as we know it in this climate
during this month of March. There
has so far been no March wind and
the weather was unusually warm.
Vegetation has advanced very rapid
ly and there has been so much rain
that a cold snap-and people who
"borrow trouble" are anticipating
one-might do considerable damage.
The past few days have been cooler
and there have been light frosts, but
not enough to do any damage.
Easter comes on the 18th of April
and until after that date a freeze
is not improbable. An old citizen of
Charlotte who has kept a weather
record for 80 years, tells the Observ-
er there was but one year in all that
period that a cool spell and frost
did not come on or about the 25th
of March, and the record held good
this year.
The wheat crop is unusually for
ward and wheat has begun to joint.
The prospect is good for a very fine
crop, but a freeze might do con-
siderable damage. It is just as we'll,
however, to wait until the freeze
comes and then find how bad we are
hurt. A very disagreeable ~anticipa-
ton is the prospect of a windy sum
mer. There is a theory that if there
is no wind in March the March winds
will blow in the months following,
and it doesn't make one feel good to
think of high winds and dust in May
and June.-Statesville Landmark.

are held. Over the entire field there
are placed monuments In granite and
marble to those who died in this par
ticular engagement, as we'll as to
North Carolina patriots who, like
Nash and Davidson, gave their lives
on other fields IN the cause of Amer
lean independence. Guilford Battle
Ground, as kept and marked by the
gentlemen Of the association of
which Colonel Morehead is president,
is in itself the monument to North
Carolina in the Revolution-a monu-
ment such as no other State in the
zone of that mighty struggle can
boast.
"It is 1926 years since the Cont
mental Congress voted a monument
to General Nash for his bravery on
the battlefield of Germantown, where
he lost his life, and it is 1872 years
since it voted that General Davidson
be similarly honored for gallantry at
Cowan's Ford, where he, too, was
killed. The Continental Congress
appropriated $500 for each of these
monuments. The Fifty-seventh Con-
gress appropriated $4,000 for each
of them. But in 1777 and in 1871 the
United States was poorer by a few
dozen billions of dollars than it is
now. And as for the delay of a little
matter of a century and a quarter
or thereabouts, that should not be
charged up against the Republic as
ingratitude. Absence Of headlong
impetuosity is the way to express it.
"But the monuments are a GER
tainty at last, and now let Colonel
Morehead at their unwilling get up
such a resonant, rousing, ~reverberat-
ing Fourth of July celebration as
even Guilford Battle Ground-long
noted for enthusiasm and oratory on
that glorious day-never has seen
equaled."

The Importance of the Trucking
Industry.

Truck farming has become a very
important and profitable industry
in some sections of this State. The
cultivation of early vegetables and
fruits in many of our Eastern coun-
ties has become an extensive, and at
some seasons, a very profitable bust
ness.
For instance, the Fayetteville OBJ
server stated last week that one hun
dred thousand dollars worth of let
tuce would be shipped from that
town within the next month. This
large amount of money will be real
lied from an entirely new industry,
which was not dreamed of a few years
ago And it is paid for lettuce raised
raised in small patches in and around
Fayetteville, and is just that much
extra money made by the persons who
raise and ship this lettuce to the
Northern cities.
The cultivation and sale of straw
berries has grown to immense pro-
portions, especially along the Allan
tic Coast Line from Goldsboro via
Wilmington to the South Carolina
line. During the strawberry season
many long trains are loaded with
strawberries every day in that SEQ
ton, and the fields are teeming with
men, women and children all busily
picking strawberries. A good price
is paid for these pickers, some max

Lumberton dispatch: Druggists
in this town have been forbidden by

taken because of the testimony of
some parties who stated hat they

Landmark: The State law makes
it a misdemeanor to sell liquor to
minors and as ~barkeepers have no
way of telling the ages of their Gus

At the request of the bar men
Greensboro aldermen have passed an
ordinance making it an offence for
any one under 81 to buy liquor in
Greensboro, and hereafter the minor
who buys liquor in that town will be
as guilty as the seller, and this is
right.

The statement has been recently
made that investigation discloses the
fact that 25 per cent of the food
stuffs offered on the markets in
North Carolina is adulterated. There
is no reason to doubt it. The adul-
~teration of this class of goods in the
United States is something fearful.
There is a large milling establish
ment in this State which has a con-
tract to furnish corn cobs by the a r
load to a concern which puts a food
stuff on the market. Ground corn
cobs will not hurt anybody, but many
of these adulterants are really hurt
full, especially those that enter into
flour, and the corn cob story affords
some sort of indication of how far
this thing goes.-Charlotte Observer.
