''Raleigh and the Farmers.

Raleigh IS making extensive proD-
aratiOns for the welcome and cnter-
tainment of the Farmers NationaI
Congress, which will meet in annual
convention in North Carolna's Capi-
tai City during the first week in No
vember. This is one of the oldes.
and largest farmers organizations iy
the country, and to be selected as the
place of the annual meeting has come
to be considered high honor for the
city and State obtaining it. North
Carolina is not only so honored this
year. but to that Commonwealth be-
longs the additional distinction Of
holding the Presidency of Congress
in the person of one of her mOst
prominent citizens-Colonel Benehan
Cameron.
The convention to be held in Rail
eigh in November Will be the twenty
ninth annual meeting of the Congress,

sented at these conventions and the
number of delegates registered is

Wisconsin, the number was eleven
hundred, and at the last three meet
ings the average has been about one
thousand. The Raleigh meeting how
ever, is expected to eclipse all previ-
Gus ones both in attendance and in

appointed delegates, and large dele

Both North Carolina and the
Farmers Congress are to be con-

HOW TO RAISE PREACHERS
SALARY.

The preacher who received a salary
Of $1,000 ten years ago finds that he
could live at least fifty per cent better
The rising prices Of all he has to buy
has cut his salary down in purchasing
value fully fifty per cent and this IS
true of all men who receive a liked
salary. While there has been some
increase in salaries and in wages, these
have not kept up with the increased
cost Of living. This is particularly
true as to the salary of preachers, for
they have not generally received an
increase in salary commensurate with
the increased cost Of living. The ST.
Johns Lutheran church in Cabarrus
county has taken steps to provide a
method of paying the salary Of their
minister that might be wisely adopted
by other churches:
Every memb ber is in duty bound to
contribute of his means, according to
his utmost ability for the maintenance
Of the congregation and the general
work Of the church. The pastors
salary shall be raised in the following
ways: (a) Each mem ber is expected
to make a yearly per capita contribu-
ton, the minimum Of which shall be,
for males, $50 for females 81; (b) all
persons owning real estate, personal
property, stocks notes and bonds, are
also expected to contribute, in addl-
ton to the per capita contribution
each year an amount equal to an as
sessment of not less than 25 cents
and not more than so cents on each
hundred dollars worth CT property
owned The basis for this assess
ment shall be the county tax books
in the hands Of the sheriff, and every
two years the deacons shall examine
these books and make their lists cor
respond with the Textbook records"

MISS ELIZABETH WEAVER
HEROINE.

Some days ago this paper copied
from the Monroe Journal the state
ment that a young woman had given
the blood from her own arm in the
last hope that it might save a man
dying Of pellagra. The name Of the
young woman was not given, but the
publication caused every man in the
State to unconsciously bow his head
in honor Of the heroine. It seemed
to this paper that the public should
know the name Of the heroine who
had added glory to the State of her
residence and added another to the
roll Of North Carolina heroes. There
fore it requested it's Wilmington cor
respondent to see thiss noble young
woman, get her own statement OF the
unselfish act, and secure her photo
graph. In accordance with that re-
quest, the picture of Miss Elizabeth
Weaver, Of Wilmington, who works in
a cotton factory in that city, and her
direct story of her love for humanity
and her sacrifice, will be found in to-
days paper.
Miss Weaver is the type of the North
Carolina young woman of whom the
State is justly proud. She earns her
daily bread by work in a cotton mill
and is a skilled weaver. She eats no
idle bread. she is a blessing to her
parents, and the best eXemplar of the
living follower of the Master. Her
simple and direct statement, given
only upon request, shows that she was
carrying out the divine command of
doing unto others as we would that
others should do unto us, which she
says is her life motto. Think of it,
ye women who do not know what toll
and sacrifice are: here is a young
woman Of such heroic mould as to
ennoble womanhood. Her naive and
unassuming statement must influence
the lives of many for good who have
never made any sacrifice for the COM
fort or to try to save the lives of
their fellows. You cannot read the
frank interview without uncovering as
if in the presence of Florence Night
ingale, Father Damien or some like
altruistic noble Christian whose un-
selfishness has glortied the human
race.
Elizabeth Weayer-heroine. In the
consciousness of having followed the
example of the master she has recon-
pense the world cannot give. In every
home where these lines are read to-
day the people will feel to thank God
for noble sacrifice. She truly has
learned the truth declared by Jeanne
Deans, but learned it sooner. that
when we come to die it is not what
We have done for ourselves. but what
we have done for others, we think on
most pleasantly

Corn From Reclaimed land
(NeW Bern Journal J

Mr.. G. S. Waters. who returned Sun
day evening from a visit to his father,
Mr.. G. H. Waters at Pantego. brought
back sample of corn grown on what
might be called reclaimed land. The
land, worn out years ago was planted
this year. and a little commercial fer
tilizer was used as a side dressing
about the time the corn was ready
to tassel. This seemed to do the
work. for although few Of the stalks
attained a height of over three or
four feet, each one was laden with
fully matured, good sized ear.
