The finding of the special joint
committee which for IL months
has busted itself with the
charges made against Secretary
OF the Interior Ballinger were
reported to both Houses of Con-
gress Wednesday. Three re-
ports were filed-a majority re-
port clearing the Cabinet officer
OF the charges; a minority re-
port condemnatory of him. and
an individual report by Repre-
sentative Madison, Republican,
Kansas, also condemnatory. The
result of the committees work

The Split-Log Drag.
Charlotte Chronicle.

Charlotte chronicle.
A good many sections of the
proposed highway from Will
mington to Asheville can be con-
structed by the split log drag
system. The split log drag was
invented by DR.. Ward King. In
The Yorkville Enquirer he is
quoted as saying: There are
three things absolutely necessary
in order to have a perfect earth
road. Now it does not make
any difference which one of
these things l mention first, be-
cause they are, as near as | can
tell, of equal Importance. You
cannot take away any of the
three without destroying the
road in the end. These things
are smoothness, hardness and
convexity. It must be hard,
smooth and oval. If it is not
oval it will soon 60 to pieces. 1t
may be oval and smooth and not
hard. and you know how they
are when there is about a foot or
two of soft earth in the middle
of them; when it is compare
lively smooth and not hard.
If you have them smooth
and not hard, as l suggested a
while ago, they won't stay in
order. Under all the circum-
stances they should be given the
three qualities. The reasons
why we have not had these quail
tiles in our roads are two; one is,
we didn't know these qualities
would bring results; the other is,
we didn't know these qualities
could be given except by ex-
pensive means. By the split.
log drag we have learned a very
cheap way Of improving the
roads. F"

BAPTIST CONVENTION.
Some of the Principal Business
Transacteo-Meets Next Year
in Winston-Salem.

The Baptist State Convention.
an session in Hendersonville last
week, closed Friday and will
meet next year in Winston-Salem.
Some of the most important &C.
tons taken by the Convention
are as follows: Meredith Col
lege, Raleigh, is to have an en-
,dowment of $3.50, 600, to be raised
by December, 1913. Of this
amount $50, 900 comes from the
general educational society, CIV
en- on condition that the Baptists
of the State raise 800, 900. The
Convention was moved to imme-
date action and within 80 min
ltes $27, 900 were subscribed. A
resolution was passed earnestly
protesting against any abnormal
iy large appropriations for State
institutions of learning such as
certainly would follow a bond
issue. For some years the Baptist
women of the State have held
separate meetings of their State
organizations. A resolution was
adopted by the Convention re-
.questing the women in their
State convention, to be held in
Wilmington next April, to appoint
10 messengers to the next session
of the Baptist State Convention,
to bring reports of their work.
This will be the first time in the
history of the Baptist State Con.
vention that women have beer
recognized as messengers to the
body. The report of the temper.

adopted, declares that 'the dele.

Possibilities of Wheat Growing
In Robson.
To the Editor of The Robesonian:

wish to say to Farmers I'm
ion people through the columns
OF your paper, and also to pa
irons Of the flour mill, that the
mill will run only one day IN the
week -Friday-from now until
Christmas. The margin being
50 small between the wheat and
the flour, we don't think it will
pay to buy wheat to run regular
at the. present prices unless we
could buy wheat in large, guam
titles that we might get some
advantage in railroad rates. And
| now thank the patrons for past
patronage and solicit their pa
tronage for the future. The
mill has ground about 3, 500 bush
els for the season and the people
can readily make 10000 for the
next season in Robson and not
miss the land from the general
crop. Our farmers report any
where from 10 to 35 bushels per
acre last year, If we could not
make cotton here old Robson
would be the greatest grain
county in the State, and with
the swamp lands brought under
cultivation it would stand we'll
near the top in the South and
very close to the Northwestern
States as a grain county.
| wish to say to wheat planters,
be sure and soak your wheat in
bluestone water to prevent smut.
That is the greatest drawback
to our wheat in this country and
that can be prevented with a
little care. Our wheat grows as
good, large and well-developed
grain and will turn out as good
flour as the wheat from Virginia
or Maryland or Ohio, so we must
learn to grow it clear of rust
and take care of it after it is
gathered, just as the other grain
countries do. It will help us tt
make our farms self sustaining
and will help keep down the cot
) ton acreage, which is the only
way to secure a fair price; anc
when hard years come, as they
do occasionally, the wheat will
/ help pull through the hard sea
son. With the wheat crop com
? ing on in June, the tobacco il
July and August, and the cotton
crop in September and October
Robson county should not know
what hald times are; and witt
} wise and diversified farming

ADD QUARTERS TO
CITY'S HOSPITAL
Two Wards Equipped for Treat
ment of Demented Patients
Opened for Use
INSTALL A NEW LABORATORY
Municipality Builds a Dark Room
for Development of X-Ray
Photographs
A NEW LABORATORY

Two additional wards. each equipped
for the treatment of insane and alco-
holic cases, were opened in the receiv-
ing hospital yesterday adding a finish
ing touch to its completeness as one of
the most thoroughly equipped emery
ency hospitals on the Pacific coast.
The wards are bright and airy with
high ceilings. Each contains six beds.
The walls are padded and the windows
screened to prevent delirious inmates
from injuring themselves. A reception
hall, in which the friends and prospec-
tive patients are received, without ne
cessitating their coming in view of the
operating rooms or the inmates has
been added.
Possibly one of the most useful addi-
lions which has been added to the hos
pital is the laboratory stocked with va
rious medicines and a dark room to be
used in developing X-ray photographs.
A private office opens off the hallway
and entrance to the hospital In which
DR.. Charles e. Zerhng, chief police sur
geon Is installed.
Before the new addition was built
the hospital attaches had no means of
preparing food for their patients. To
eliminate this disadvantage diet
kitchen is now in operation and pa
tients who are forced to spend more
than six hours in the wards can be fur
nished with food.
The male and female wards, which
adjoin the main operating room, will
now be used for serious surgical cases,
requiring quiet and the utmost cleanli-
ness for their success. Under the old
order of things, hampered by lack of
accommodations in the hospital, the
patients were placed in one room and
those who were in precarious condition
were disturbed by the cries of dement,
ed patients.
Doctor ZerAng and DR.. F. w. k1dder,
his able assistant. have labored under
difficulties to eliminate these inconven-
fences and pronounce themselves as
being highly pleased at the improve
ment in the quarters they now occupy.
Among other improvements contem-
plated is the installation of steam
pressure sterilizer
One year ago Los Angeles receiving
hospital was cramped between the
drunk tanks in the city Jail building,
occupying a small floor space divided
into three rooms. Patients were crowd
ed into the small, low ceiling rooms.
There was then only one bed, placed
in the hospital office. for the accom-
modation of women patients, and those
calling for treatment waited their turn
in sight of operations
