court house at IL o 'clock on Sat

pose of nominating candidates for

democrat has as much right to
be heard as. another. =

Republican Convention.
Booze and Doodle.

NeWbern Sun. -
The Greensboro News has had
a good deal to say about Butler,
Booze, Doodle and Bonds. It is
generally thought that the hold
ers of the defunct bonds are
backing Butler up in his cam
paign, while others thought the
whskey trust was behind him.
However, in a conversation with a
Republican a day or two ago,
who attended the convention IN
Greensboro, we learn that booze
and Doodle" were plentiful, and.
that many Of the delegates who
attended the convention and voted
f. ssMorehead and Butlerism
supplied with both. We
lea il that many Of the Butler
overs had their railroad fare

the hotels. Now this is the way

started out to build up a re-spec-
table Republican party in this

those defunct bonds In the State.
1t is indeed gratifying the know
that hundreds Of Republicans like
Butler no batter than the Democ-
rats, and the fact that they nom
mated George Butler for Con
gress in this district is one Of the
best things they could have done
for the. Democratic party, for it
assures the election of DIR. Faison
by a larger majority than the Dem
ocrats have gotten In many years.
Every one knows Of the Butler s
trickery and treachery, and the
decent people of North Carolina
are not going to tolerate him
again, but show him the contempt

and animals; the various means OF
controlling insect pests; the introduce
ton of natural enemies, predatory in
sects and fungi to check the raw
ages of scales and other pests OF the
orchard, field and pasture are all of
recent years and as yet known to
few. All these, and the recent dis
covery by our national agricultural
department of a practical cure or
preventative, an immuniZing serum
for that scourge Of the American
farmer, hog cholera, will have to be
diffused and practically applied by
the various state agricultural depart
ments.
Of the methods now being used to
give practical help to the farmer. the
one that, in my opinion, promises the
greatest immediate results is the re-
Gently organized demonstration work.
One practical demonstration in
neighborhood of results from better
seed. pure-bred animals, and modern
methods will infect and affect the en-
tire community. One progressive,
scientific and practical farmer will
soon educate his neighbors and teach
them how though they may not un-
derstand why certain methods will
produce certain results. However, in
my humble opinion, the best and
surest method of reaching the farm
er is through his children, soon to
become the farmers and farmers
wives Of the nation.
The agricultural high school-so
ably advocated by Assistant Secre-
tary Of Agriculture Hayes, at our con-
vention at Columbia, will be the me-
dunn by which PRACTICAL, scientific
and economic truth will he impaired
to the American farmer.
In the meantime, gentlemen, it be-
comes us to foster the county fair,
the farmers institute, the demon
stration farm, and all other methods
of education and to work and hope
for the day to arrive when our agri-
cultural high schools will turn out
numbers of practical farmers and
farmers wives-men and women
well-equipped for their life work on
the farm, or to themselves become
teachers of practical, scientific agri-
culture.
Our agricultural colleges and ex-
pertinent stations are not at present
properly connected with the farmer
the one they are particularly intend
ed to reach. Their discoveries and
teachings do. not reach the great
mass of farmers and farmers boys
and girls. AS has been said by one OF
our foremost practical agriculturists
I'VE have placed the college with its
teachers and professors in the sec
ond story of high building without
stairs, and said to the farmer, Get
your boys up here and we will teach
them agricultural 1t is your prob
lem, gentlemen, to provide the stairs
and connect the college and expert
ment station with the farm. In this
work you will find the agricultural
press of the country your ablest and
most efficient assistant and co-opera
tor.

have been stolen by gypsies- A band or

camp on Wednesday morning, about the

been asked to search all gypsy caravans
