TALKS ABOUT

"The board Of agriculture after thor
oughlY considering the proposal by you
inviting cooperation on the part of the
tive boards In the experimental work of
tie two institutions, declines the same.
We are Of the opinion that il would be
unwise and detrimental to the best in
terests OF both institutions to comply
And, in view of the fact that the last
legislature, after thoroughly canvassing
both sides of the matter, decided it
was for the best interest of both 10 be

their wishes. We wish to assure you
That you shall have any assistance 10 our

Hon. A. Cannon, member of the State
Board Of Agriculture from the tenth
congressional district, referring to the
above dispatch, in an interview with a
representative of this paper said:
"Yes, we declined the proposition Of
the A. & M. trustees for what we be-
Heve to be good and sufficient reasons
While fully realizing the work being
carried on by the A. & NJ. College, we
believe the farmers who are now act

men who should receive the direct
benefit of tax derived from them.

SIN connection with the Institutes for
men, there are to be held institutes for
the wives of the farmers, with the same
idea of helping them in their work,
such as poultry and dairy, beautifying
their homes and grounds. This work
is under the direction of DR.. Tate But
Ter, who has held in the State, within
year, 1914 Institutes, with an average at
tendance of 125.
"The Department is also showing re-
suits in its work for desirable immiRra-
tion. 1t appropriated IS 900 to that pur-
pose, which was added to the State APP
preparation of an equal amount. Sec.
T. K. Rruner has charge of that work,
and just recently has brought into the
state, 20 sturdy young Scotchmen, who
will make desirable citizens in every
way. He will push this work energeti-
cally and the results will be Of direct
benefit to our farmers.
tsThe Department, within two years
has built the Agriculture builcing at
the A. & M. College at cost of
$50, 600, every penny of which came from
the fertilizer tag fund and not cent
from the treasury Of the State. We
still owe $50, 200 of that amount, which
will take three years to pay.
"This, in brief, is something Of the
work the Board of Agriculture is doing.
We want to aid tha college trustees In
their work for the advancement of the
young men of North Carolina, and
will do all in our power in the
future. as we have in the past. to
help make it a success.

the farmers now at work, who furnish
the funds to carry on this work, By
working alone on the lines which expert.

A Wasted Present.

"What in the world shall I send Aunt Betsy, John?" demanded the mas- terful lady of the mild little man.
 "A workbasket or a book? he sug- gested.
 Don't be a fool, John! You've no taste. I'll send her one of those fancy boxes of soap"
 And she lifted to her nose a box containing six round tablets of per- fumed soap.
 Yes" she continued, "this is the very thing"
 But. my dear, really"- he protest ed.

NEW PEOPLE DISCOVERED.
Explorer Finds Small Tribe of kusk-
 waaamutes In Alaska.

Philadelphia. Oct. 30.-Dr. George B. Gordon, curator of the department of American archaeology of the Univer- sity of Pennsylvania, who reached this city after penetrating the Alaskan will derness for 2.000 miles on the Mrs. c. C. Harrison expedition" reports the discovery of small tribe of abOrigines hitherto unknown to ethnolOgists. Dr. Gordon calls these unknown American inhabitants "Kuskwagamutes."
 He brought here collection of their clothing. arms. utensils, etc. The tribe was found about 500 miles from the mouth of the KuSkOwim river. and they were few in number This people, Dr. Gordon says. came of Athabascan stock. but have been conquered by the Eskimo and have almost been absorb ed by them. They retain many of the ancient characteristics in speech and dress. Instead or wearing furs like the Eskimo they make the skins of looms and other great birds into robes for clothing.

rating the statements of Mrs. Hartje in regard to the letters. She said the letters were dictated by Lappe and that she knew nothing derogatory to the character of her sister.
 Denies Writing to Nadine.
 The greater part of Mrs. Harties af- fidavit is devoted to the switching of Tom Nadine from the side of the wife to that of the husband. She says that Nadine on April 12. 1907, made a statement in the office of Watson & Freeman, in which he said he had been approached by a representative of Hartje. who told him that if he made a certain statement he would receive S5,00O and that within six months he would be the possessor of $30,000. The statement, Nadine said, was to be used before the superior court met. Nadine said S10,000 had been offered him for an envelope ad- dressed to him by Mrs. Hartje and that more money was offered to swear that the Nadine letters produced at the trial of the divorce action were genu- inc. When Nadine pointed out that he had testified at the trial the letters were forgeries and that to change his evidence would result in sending him to the penitentiary he was told that if he got into jail Hartie would see that he got out again.
 Referring to the change of attitude on the part of Nadine, Mrs. Hartie says:
 q deny that the petitioner is able to establish the receipt by Thomas Ma dine of any letters from me to him while he was in Ireland in 1905 or at any other time. Tom Nadine has tes- tified that Augustus Hartje had about one year before the trial offered him a bribe of Sj.0O0 if he would testify falsely against me. and I am informed and believe that since the trial Augus- tus Hartie has been attempting to bribe and corrupt Tom Nadine and to persuade him by offers of money to make false statements in reference to me and in reference to the testimony given on trial of this case"
 Money to Corrupt coaehman.
 The affidavit continues: "I am in formed that Hartje has offered Nadine large sums of money if he would leave the country and refuse to again appear in this case or the criminal cases against Hartje and his so called detectives. Staab and Anderson: that before the trial in court below and al- most continuously ever since Nadine has been traiIed by one or more alleged detectives in the employ of Augustus Hartje: that since the trial he has been furnished by them from time to time with money and frequently kept Intoxicated with liquor provided by them"

Oct. 30.--With the pros pect of the arrival er0m Europe of $20,000,000 in gold within ten days and the continual building up of American credit abroad. due to the exporting of American staple products. the financial situation was bright.
