Progress in Northampton County.
(Roanoke Chowan-Times.)

(Roanoke Chowan-T imes.)
The farmers of the vicinity of Rich
Square are in better condition finan-
cially than for years before. But very
few, comparatively, are dependent
upon others to furnish them supplies
for their farms. The merchants tell
us they are selling less goods on credit
than for many years. 1t has been a
long time since any one in this section
has been sold out under a mortgage.
There has not been a failure among
our business men here in many years.
AS much cannot be said for many
towns.
There has been a great awakening
in Northampton in the past ten or fif-
teen years along educational lines.
Schools of high grade have been es-
tabished nearly all over the county
and they are well patronized. In Rich
Square township six schools of high
grade, five for whites and one for col
ored. have been open during the past
eight months, all doing good work
There never was a time when the chill
dren of this section had such educa-
tional advantages

VALUABLE RAINFALL
The Slight Precipitation During the
Past Week in the MesiIIa Valley
of lnestimabIe Worth to Crops.

Special to the New Mexican.
Mesilla Park, N. NJ, July 25.-The
slight rains that have fallen during
the past week have been of inestim-
able value to the growing crops. Al
though the rainfall was light and un-
der most conditions would do verv
little good, this has been an excep-
ton, as it has been cloudy most oil
the time since and the air has been
saturated with water thus the evap-
oration has been insignificant and the
ground has stayed moist
At last the force of men at work
on the head of the main ditch have
succeeded in getting it repaired
enough so that the people of the
valley can have water in the d..ches
to irrigate their crops 1t is not
thought, however, that the wate- in
the river will last long, so then he
people will be dependent upon the
rains alone.

from town of several of those who are

was an interesting display of new va

new kinds of apricots being shown.
There were also excellent specimens
of the Beurre Giffard pear, which is
one of the choicest of summer fruits.
The meeting on Thursday evening
will be an important one as the ar
for the fair will then be
perfected. Every one should be pres

New Kansas Law Will Compel Rail-
roads to Have Proper Passenger
Quarters in Kansas City.

Kansas City, Mo-, July 25.-The
Santa Fe, the Rock Islan, the Union
Pacific, the Missouri Pacific, the F'ris.
co and all other lines entering this
city through Kansas City. Kansas, will
soon have to commence preparations
for facilities for handling passengers
in the latter city. On January :.
1906, Kansas Senate bill No. 6S,
known as the Getty law, will go into
effect. This law provides hat the
seven railroads entering Kan,as City,
Kansas, be compelled to stop all pas
senger trains in the city and maintain
suitable stations for the acctmmoda-
tion of passengers. The bill was in
troduced and its passage secured by
Senator James F. Getty.
The logical outcome of The law is
that the Kansas City, Kans;s, roads
will unite in establishing a nion sta
ton in that city, although nc definite
plans in that direction have ret been
made public. At present th' people
of Kansas City, Kansas, NUT go to
Kansas City, Missouri, to tax. trains,
if they want to purchase through
tickets or if they want to secue sleep
ing car accommodations. Th trains
just stop to whistle on the Kansas

the different states where Japanese
settlements are located, calling upon
his country men to return to the land
of the rising sun. He states that
there are comparatively few Japan
ese in the United States who do not
belong to some branch Of the reserve
army of the Mikado, and that these
men are subject to call at any time
when the occasion demands. No mat.
ter in what part of the world they
may be located, the Japanese gov
ernment furnishes them transportation
and pays their expenses back to their
country when they are summoned for
duty.
