Crops In Halifax and EdgeComD.

Mr.. ]. P. Brett, who attended the
Conference at Scotland Neck last
week and drove through the country
form Scotland Neck to Tarboro, tells
us that he saw some extensive farm
ing and fine crops.
He was particularly struck with
some corn crops seen on the way,
being up to shoe tops and some even
higher.
He was also impressed with the
blowing in Of rye, vetch and bur clc-
yer as cover crops.
In Edgecomb County he mentioned
seeing on one farm Is head of mules
all blowing at the same time; as many
IS four and six head hitched to the
same machine. A lumber of farms
contained two hundred acres and
more. Several tracts were pointed
out to him that two, and two and
one-half bales of cotton weighing
500 pounds was made to the acre.
Mr. Brett says our people know
little of farming compared to the
people of Edgecomb County, and if
you want to see farming that is
farming visit Edgecomb County.
While in Scotland Neck MIR. Brett
was the guest Of Mr.. G. K. More,
and it was through his kindness that
he enjoyed this trip through the
country as well as pleasant sojourn
in the hustling town Of Scotland

TEE SILVER CHAIN.
Miss Shields Unique Plan for Raising
Money TO Furnish School Building.

This is unique plan for raising
money to furnish the new graded
school building. One person enter
tains five others in any way she or
he chooses-thimble party, auto
ride, tea, etc. Each of the five
promise to entertain five others with
in two weeks, and they in turn re-
ceive ten cents from each guest and
hand the money to the first hostest,
who is the president Of the society.
No one is expected to go to any great
expense or to make formal affair
Of it.
The social side of the enterprise
should commend it to our people,
and the chain, after few sets Of
fives have entertained, will bring in
quite a nice little sum for the graded
school furniture.
Miss Rebe Shields, of Committee
No. 8, is the originator of this little
plan, and entertained the first five
on her lawn last Wednesday after
noon. Those present very much en-
joyed the afternoon with Miss Shields
and will in turn each entertain five
more. Let the good work go on.
