Phil woke, as one might wake from
ether with the surgeons still at work
on his head. Great binding throbs
of pain went over him, as he lay num-
bly,. eyes shut, trying to puzzle it out.
Why was ne lying there with that
specially hardHlump Of coal under his
neck? Something must have struck
his head. His knee, too-how it
twingcd? He, tried to rise, but fell
back, sick and dizzy, everything
awhirl round him.
What was ha%tthumping and clang-
Ing, as if somebody were battering a
pile Of old junk with a crowbar?
What made the engine jump soo
An accident? Yes. That sha11p re-
port meant that a crank-pin had
shee.ed of. Now Phil understood
it. The parallel rod, thrown loose,
was pounding the ties and smashing
up through the cab with every reyo-
luton Of the drivers.
But Dan! Was ne living or dead?
Thrashed by that awful steel bar,
how had he any chance! And there
was the camel-back driverless, rae
ing wild down-hill at sixty miles an
hour, with three hundred unsuspect-
ing passengers behind, and ahead
a network of yard-tracks and a
crowded station.
It was enough to make a mans hair
rise. Pills did. Eyes still shut, he
shouted:
Dan! DAM"
No reply; only the h%arlmerins Of
steel. Again he called; again no an
swer.
With an immense effort Phil sat
up. What NJ the matter with him?

A new system of treating eggs so
as to prevent them from growing
stale when in cold storage, has been
discovered in Rochester. n. Y. This
consists in subiecting the eggs to an
electrical current. The theory is that
eggs when placed in storage are alive
ard are gradually frozen to death,
whereas if the life is DESTROYED by an
electrical current before they are
placed in stoarge they do not taste
stale, even when kept on ice for a
long period of time.
A monograph bearing the title

Daily, samples Of water from nearly

united in lots of ten consecutive sam
piles from the same stream and sta

analysis. The analyses, giving, as
they do, the average composition from
day to day, and information regard

available, form the mostlcomplete col

RETURN TO RICE GROWING.

When Mr.. Jefferson visited n Ia
mons rice growing section Of Italy he
| filled his pockets with the rice that
! was recognized as h best III the
world. Up to that time the rice
crown in Carolina, around Winning
ton and Charleston, was or an ME
rior quality. Mt. Jefferson sent seeu
TO friends IL the Carollnas and Al d
few wears the best rice grown III the
world came from the Carolinas. u
war made such changes in agrlculture
that rice-growing was almost q
doned in North Carolina. LatteTly
there has been an increase IN the
quantity grown. Louisiana has De
come rich from the rice fields, hiuci'
of the land On which it IS grown nav
ing been reclaimed by the sort OF
drainE &c that is being earned on III
Eastern North Carolina. Why should
not rice also make the owners OF
damn lands III Eastern North Carroll
ia rich? They have the climate, the
soil, and the world IS coming every
year to need more rice. Indeed II VIII
surprise most people to know that tle
worlds rice crop Is nearly as large as
the wheat crop. The wheat crop OF
the world is about 1870. O0U,e oV,U0o
pounds and the rice crop Of the world
is $4,000. 0o0, 900 pounds. We are
told that more rice has been pro-
duced in tho United States during the
last decade than in the half century
immediately preceding. Texas and
Louisiana produce so per cent of ali
the rice grown in the United States,
and the people consume all Of the
coo. O00. 600 pounds raised here.
The CaroiinaS can add TO their
wealth by returning to the cultivation
of rice. 1t not only brings good prices
as food but there is demand now for
rice straw by paper makers. Here
tofore rice growers had the trouble
Of burning their rice-straW. O
there Is Il demand for It because it
makes an excellent paper pulp. The
Virginian notes that on one
day last week three hundred o Of
rice straw were carried TO Ports
mouth to the factor in that city
uses the straw to convert into
commercial paper, such as is used in
for wrapping purposes.

WOULDN'T SET EN- UP"

The Greensboro Record notes that
the Stokesdale public school is still!
without a teacher. At Christmas the
pupils demanded that the teacher,
Mr.. Pegram. set 'em up TO apples,
etc. He declined when the boys
sent him word that they would black
him if he didn't "set 'em up He
locked the doors and closed the
school The Record applauds Mr..
Pegram and says:
Mr.. Pegram IS everlastingly right
about it. II he gives in he is a
SoneF; 1t is a question of who is to
boss the school. III the meantime,
the ~students say If he returns he must
come across or they will do him.
The thing to do is to send every one
OF the boys who are into the game
nome n let them stay there unless
they are willing to behave themselves.
It Is up to the school committed to
act at once. II q few Of the students
are to be allowed to run the school

NORTH CAROLINA AT HEAD OF
THE TABLE.

The need Of the South is to cult
yate fewer acres and to gather bigger
| crops from the individual acre. North
| Carolina already raises more lint cot
ton TO the acre than any Southern
State, the average being 252 pounds
Of lint per acre in this State, where
as it is in South Carolina $50 lbs.
Georgia EOS lbs; Louisiana Isl lbs.
Mississippi ITO lbs; Texas 1o4 lbs.
Alabama las lbs; Arkansas 15i IDS
It is pleasant to see that North caro-
lima farmers raise more Of the fleecy
staple to the acre than the other cot
tor States but for 1910 the ambition
Of The farmers should be to raise an
average Of 500 pounds OF lint cotton
to the acre. to plant less acres In cot
ton, and devote the unused land ana
labor to raising more hog and homlny.
In raising corr n wheat and food
stuffs for man and beast the deteTmll-
alton should be to grow more Of every
crop TO the acre. The Washington
Post. in discussing THE Corn Yield"
holds up Wake county, North Caro-
lima, farmers as patterns, and edl-
torially says:
The average yield Of corn an acre
in the United States is estimated at
less than 20 bushels and Of wheat It
is 16 bushels. That is a poor showing
and evidences an immense deal Of
miserable and thriftless farming. AS
there are vast areas devoted to corn
that WELD from SO to 100 bushels an
acre, we may estimate there are otnei
areas Just as extensive that yield but
5 bushels or 10 bushels the acre.
1T is a well authenticated act that
in 1909, J. z. Bats, Of Garner, y. g.,
produced 22e bushels Of corn from q
single acre; but he used an immense
quantity of barnyard anu ana
commercial fertilizer, which. COM
made the cost Of the cor above 81
q bushel, which is out Of all
proportions; but he was c~o1npenSate'
by the fact that the increased energy
Of the soil not by the
growing OF the crop. is worth at the
least 500.
But W. Fl. Robbins. OF Raleigh, y.
G.. produced 157 bushels Of corn on
q single acre in 1a09 at a cost Of
less than Is cents q busheI. There Is
farmer for you-enoTT1ous yield at
expense. n preparation OF
the cultivation, though both farmers
say they can now see by the eye of
experience where the yield would have
been materially increased had their
methods been slightly different
Mr.. Bats produced nearly as much
corn from / acre as the average corn
grower gets from 8 acres, and more
than many a corn grower gets from 80
acres. A farm Of 20 acres intelligent
ly and thoroughly titled will yield
vastly more than one of 80 acres
sIovenly and foolishly titled. There are
many 'overcropped' farms. and
many land-poor' farmers. Per

country would have beer greater had
