Mr.. T. W. Digs was in town the
other day, and when asked By a
representative Of the Herald as to
labor on the farm promptly said, ut
is a thing of the past"
And when further questioned as
to who did the work on his farm
said, Il do it, and am something of
a dew worker" and that was ex-
planned by adding, "a. dew worker
is an early morning worker who
quits before the dew drys up and
vanishes into thin air." But thi;
dew worker did bri ng TO town some
chickens that had grown day and
night until they had reached the
genuine neutrality-suspicious..
If he grows crops as he doe:
chickens he can Bet labor loaf ON
But maybe the Madam is the chick
en- raiser.

cal treat this evening at the Norm
al Auditorium, with Mrs Anne At
kinson Burmeister as pianist, Mis-
Daniel as soprano, Miss Blanton az

eompanist
Mrs. Burmeister enjoys inter
national reputation as one OF the
leading pianist of the age, and at
recent concert given before a crit
ieal and cultured audience at the

of her, that the audience was quick
to recognize the ability of Mrs Bur-
meister, who is a pianist of rare
ability. Her touch is little short of
wonderful and her technique admi-
rable."
For the past two Sundays she has
presided over the organ at the Pres
byterian Church and has pleased and
charmed all who have been privi-
legged to hear her
Miss Daniel is no stranger to the
lovers of music in Farmville. having
already sung her way into our
hearts where she holds permanent
and persuasive place.
Miss Blanton has often moved up
on us as with true artistic skill she
has made the violin, prince of must
cal instruments, respond to her ev-
cry touch.
Mrs. ellis from early maidenhood
has been recognized as queen of the
keys, and it isn't often that any
people are offered a musical treat
of such rare excellence. The piano
TO be used during the evening is the
one offered by the Herald in its
prize contest soon to be launched,
and has been pronounced by experts
as one Of genuine excellence.

The following is taken from the
Portsmouth Star, and is published
by the request of Mrs. H. G Park
er. of Portsmouth, Va:
The wife and brotl er of Mr. r. H..
Parker, a carpenter living on North
street, Seottsville, are greatly dis
turbed by the peculiar circumstan-
ces surrounding his disappearance
from home on the evening Of Fri
day last
They have sought the aid Of the
police in locating him and prevent
ing him. if possible, from doing him
self bodily harm. When he left
home last Friday night at Z o'clock
he left a note addressed to his
brother, Mr.. Henry Parker, and his
wife. stating that he was going TO
the Dismal Swamp to take his life.
He declared that he would die by
$3.50 O'Clock the same evening and
requested his relatives to get from
the Atlantic Coast Line at Primers
Point SIG due him for work there.
Mr.. Parker has been feeling well;
there is no reason for dependency
known to his family and his threat
and disappearance are mystifying to
them.

VALUE OF GOOD ROADS.
Increase Price Of Farm Lands Fifty
Dollars an Acre.

Increase Price Of Farm Lands Fifty
Dollars an Acre.
Mecklenburg county. N. c., began to
build macadam roads thirty years ago.
using the direct taxation method Of
raising funds. Today that county has
20S miles Of modern highways.
As a result OF these good roads farm
values have reached that point where
$50 an acre is regarded as the mini
mum price Of such lands and $50 and
500 an acre the maximum. A few
years ago $50 was regarded as an ex-
ceedingly high price for an acre Of
Mecklenburg land. Now there are
few-very few-farms in the county
that can be purchased for less than
$50. and no great number are for sale
at that price
This is the experience Of every coun-
" that constructs improved roads. In
the face Of such hard facts. why the
people Of a mud ridden county hest
tate TO acquire improved roads is
strange. Mecklenburg. as stated. has
been building roads for thirty years,
levying a road tax.
Now the people are agitating for a
bond issue to carry the work on more
swiftly and at the same time to i'm
prove streets within the city Of Char
lotte.
