ADDRESS BY EDITOR Poe
CREATED INTEREST AT SUME1ER
SCHOOL OF THE CNIEER-
: SITY OF VIRGINIA.

Charlottesville, Va, July 15.-One
Of the special features of the Summer
school of the University Of Virginia
is Rural Life week. Interesting ad-
dresses have been made and are to be
made on various aspects Of the agri-
cultural and educational development
of the South.
No address has excited more inter-
est than that of Editor Clarence Poe
of the acknowledgements Farmer,
who spoke at the Assembly Hour yes
terday. He impressed the students
and faculty of the Summer School as
one of the most alert and DrOgreSs.Ve
men it has been their privilege to
hear. Mr.. Poe took as his subject
The Agricultural Revolution; What
it Means and How it is to Be Brought
About charging upon the following
propositions:
]. For six thousand years until this
last century agriculture has been
practically stationary. The pillow which
C~incinnatus left to become dictator
Of Rome would not nave seemed un-
familiar to cur g~randfathers.
,. Now a new day has come. These
next hundred years will see a revolu-
ton in agriculture no less far-reach-
ing than the revolution in commerce
these last hundred.
8. Much as his means to other sec
tons. it means more to the South, be-
cause the South alone has more farm
ers than previous in all other Occupa-
tons combined.
4. The fundamenta need is to make
more none farming. SO long as the
southern farm produces $500 a year
less than the Northern farm, the high
est civilization cannot be brought out
among us.
5. The program of progress must
include-G) individual ort-be
tillage, better seed, rotation, diversifi-
catOin, legumes, more live stock, etc,
and also CD cooperative effort
Farmers Institutes test farms. short
courses in agriculture, rural mail de-
livery, better sanitation, rural tele-
phones, good roads, etc.
6. For our teachers the greatest
work is to help in bringing about a
system of education adapted to the
neds of country life. Our textbooks,
the whole curriculum, have been
made by city people for city people,
and have made no appeal to the
country dWeller. \ change in the
view point of all the textbooks is
kneeded, and the teaching of the ele-
sments of agricultural science as we'll
in all rural schools. There is no rea-
son why a teacher should argue that
she is not competent to do this when
Off she has studied the textbook

deal more of "the movable, teach

to be equipped tho delay.
Cotton mills, three stories high,

SHIPPING CANTALOUPES
TRUCKERS ARE GETTING GOOD
RETURNS FOR FINE
QUALITY.
(Nft. Airy Tribure.)

Very few of us realize what a
really great section this is, with it's
splendid climate and wonderful soil.
Scarcely a month in the yea passes
when there is not some farm pro-
duct being marketed. Just now our
c~antelope crop is going forward to
the Northern markets, and our truck
ers are getting good returns from
shipments. between fifteen
hundred and two thousand crates
were shipped yesterday, and
thing near this moun went forward
by express and refrigerator ears Tues
The acreage is not SO large this
but the yield is fair and the
quality Of the fruit excellent. The
bulk Of the crop is going forward on
consignment. and the sales are from
$1.25 to $500 per crate, the general
average being about $3.50 per crate.

THE DOG DAYS ARE HERE.
ThoSt Who Have Gift of Prophecy
Predict Dry Weather in the Surry

(Elkin Tinles.)
Those who watch such things say
that last Sunday, July 18th, was the
beginning of dog days" and those
who have a gift at prophecy, or think
they have, were just beginning to say
that We were just entering upon a
rather p~rOtracted drOught-forty
days-all because no rain fell during
the first dog day'-there was scarce
~ q loud in sight all day. 1t would
have been we'll, however, if they had
waited a few days before giving out
their representations, for the drought
has already been broken. The editor
of the Times belongs to the most reli-
able school of weather prophets to be
found. Instead of looking forward
and telling what sort of weather we
are going to have, he prefers to look
backward and tell what kind Of wealth
q we have already had. If this
weather bureau is not always the most
useful, it is certainly the most reliable

\ CURIOUS SUIT.
Ex-Bar-Keepers Sue for Money They
Advanced to Pay Policemen in
SnOW Hill.
Hill Laconic Standard.)

(Snow Hill L.aconic ~Standard.)
Three years ago the Ward law be
came effective recurring the employ
ment of not less than two policemen
in every town where the sale of Whis-
key was allowed. The charter Of
Snow Hill allowed the board of town
commissioners to impose a tax of $25
per annum only for its sale. So the
presence of the four barrOoms in
Snow Hill at hat time required the
expenditure of $500 more per annum
by the board. of which they, under
the law, would pay 500 only. AS
matters stood, the taxpayers of Snow
Hill wOuld have been required to pay
5000 for the employment Of an ad-
ditional policeman in order to give
these men the right to sell Whiskey.
There was a feeling on all sides that
this was unfair and an arrangement
was entered into by which the saloon
keepers paid the additional police
man. Suits have just been instituted
against the town by Messrs. Med.
Pate, J. B. Ham and A. F. Move TO
recover the amount paid by each
which was SIS per annum.
