Joined In the refrain. Elevated q little
above the throng Of admirers, who looked
upon him and his brother as martyrs, was
the younger Of the Curleys, Jim, an earnest
fellow, with flashing eyes and pallid coun-
tenance.
He used both arms to beat time, and
the Sabbath evening quiet was dispelled
for blocks by the mighty volume Of sound.
With flourish, the piano accompanist
wound up the vocal outbreak, and then

cheers and tigers given to each Of the con-

In his address. Alderman Curley said:
What we are going to serve time for

or broke a pane Of glass. And we did it
without the slightest criminal intent or the
least desire to injure the community or

Two Of our followers, two neighbors
wished TO better their condition. In our
effort to assist them to obtain the neces-
saries Of life to gain position where they
and their families might be enabled to

Representative Curley made protraoted

Judge Lowell listened carefully to all
that was said in behalf OF the convicted
men, and, after the last politician had
finished putting in word for the two
men and the District Attorney arose 10

his seat and said
THE effrontery OF these men since SEN

demonstration in their behalf outside the

their faithful followers, and they were

In the headquarters Of the Tammany Club
on Hampden street on the Sunday night
preceding their removal TO Jail.
The demonstration was remarkable
one, the more 80 because the followers
of the Curleys really believed that the
pair had been Ill used by the Government
and that their conviction was blow at
honest men. 1t probably never occurred
to the Democrats in the Tammany Club,
that with all their appeals for justice and
talk about liberty and fair dealing, the
Curleys in impersonating two other men
at the examinations were attempting to
swindle lot of honest contestants.
Last year at caucus and election time
the Curley case was still before the Federal
courts on appeal. Even Republican State
House Of Representatives deferred action
in the case Of Representative Curley for this
reason. and he drew his salary just like
the other members Of the body. Many
voters took this cue and supported James
+. Curley on the ground that he had been
abused and not yet finally adjudged guilty.
This year the situation was different.
The contesting delegations in Wards
Twelve and Seventeen went before the
voters asking for support for Thomas
Burke on the ground that Jim Curley had
had fair hearing and that when sentence
was confirmed he should be retired from
the o.iice. but this plea had no effect, and
Curley was renominatei the day before
yeste rday.
Perhaps the most remarkable incident
OF the farewell reception referred TO above
was the nerve displayed by Jim Curley.
Fellow Tammanyites,' he shouted. 'fel-
low Tammanyites, let not the gloom Of
this unhappy ordeal offset the bright
promises Of future victory. Let US close
this wonderful meeting by singing together
that most inspiring Of national anthems,

Last Weeks North Carolina Crop
Bulletin,

The presence of sunshine and
warm weather proved very favorable
for farm work, particularly for saw
ing corn fodder; this work is being
pushed rapidly in all sections of the
State and is nearing completion in
a number of localities. There are a
number of complaints of barren and
overgrown corn stalks; but the crop
as a whole promises to be a good one.
The outlook for the cotton crop is
not more favorable than last week
the bolls continue to drop in all Sec
tions, and the top crop will be very
light. Picking has commenced in
the eastern half of the State, and
several bales have already been placed
on the market. Tobacco cutting anc

curing is in full progress in the ex-
IRENE n~orth-central counties, where
the crop is generally fair, although
below average; elsewhere curing is
practically over. Sweet potatoes, as
a rule, are good. Turnips, rutabagas
and the second crop of Irish potatoes
are up in all sections, except in the
extreme west, and appear to look
promising. The general outlook for
peanuts is quite favorable; there are
very few complaints of damaged
fields, and the general reports show
that the crop is fair and will be
slightly below average. In the ex-
IRENE western counties threshing of
pats still continues with favorable re-
suits, and considerable land is being
plowed for rye and winter wheat.
Peas are generally good, and much
cutting is being done for forage.

Sherman, Jr.)
I do not know the nursery which
your correspondent mentions; it is
not on our list of such establishments
in this State, and none by that name
has ever registered with us from any
other State. 1t will certainly be far
better for your correspondent to
leave all these unusual and catch
penny schemes alone. | do not know
what effect would be from grating
trees upside down, but I do not
think that the result would be a 10
ticeable improvement over that OBJ
tanned from the ordinary method.
Your correspondent should carefully
read Circular No. 5 of the Crop Pest
Commission, which I enclose here
with, and I would call his special at
tention to the paragraph on page 5:
every year we hear of new and mar
velous kinds of fruits-tree strawber-
ries, seedless grapes, apples without
cores and seeds, enormously prolific
pears, peaches, plums, etc. We ad-
wise you to leave all these alone. AS
a rule, they are decisions and snares.
Don't be persuaded by a pretty pic
ture in the agents catalogue. 1t is
his business to get you to buy what
ever is most profitable to him; it IS
your business to buy what is best
dor you. We have already stated that
the agent may be reliable; so this is
not to be understood as a slap at the
agents, but we do earnestly advise
every purchaser to use common sense
and discretion in making his order,
and not depend on the talk of some
one else"

Reading Course Adapted Especially to
Their Needs With Books Furnished at
Very Small Representatives, Of the
Course and It's Advantages.

The following announcement on
the part of the committee to prepare
a reading course for North Carolina
teachers will be read with interest
throughout the State. The great good
to be derived from such a course and
the remarkable cheapness of the
books and papers should insure the
patronage of every rural school
teacher in the State. Following is
the committees announcement:
The idea of a Reading Course for
teachers was explained at the July
summer school at Raleigh, and at a
number of county Institutes. A
course has been very carefully
planned. 1t has the hearty approval
of Superintendent j. Y. Joyner, Sec
rotary E. @. Brooks, Mr.. W. J. Peele,
and other leaders in the work of edu-
cation. Mr.. Joyner and Mr.. Brooks
are especially pleased that the books
supplement so well the course of
study for public schools, which is just
being completed.
Those who have had an opportun-
ity to meet teachers during the past
summer report a widespread desire
on the part of the teachers to make
the best of their opportunities, to do.
intelligent work, to deserve and COM
mand a decent living. And this
course is intended to help those who
are too busy to find out just the
means wherewith to help themselves.
1t will embrace
