day at Maiden in the Baptist

tonia Baptist church, and Rev.

was packed at each speaking and
many couldn't get in. The News,
unable to send a reporter, in
quired of a Methodist brother as
to the outcome of the debate,
and he was enthusiastic over the
effort of the Methodist minister;
and a gentleman of the Baptist
faith was asked how it came out
and he was equally enthusiastic
the other way; and as Mr.. Doc

IMPROVEMENT ON FARMS.
Commissioner of Labor and of
Printing Finds That Farmers
Are Developing.

In treating farming and farm
labor in a special chapter for his
forthcoming annual report for
his department Commissioner Of
Labor and Printing NJ. L. Ship
man declares that from a gener-
al survey of the farming indus
try in North Carolina it seems
that farmers are devoting much
more forethought to their work
than ever before and that seed
selection and improved methods
of cultivation are coming into
their proper share Of study and
investigation with consequent
increased yields. Also, he finds
that much more attention is be-
ing paid to the selection of farm
stock and cattle, although there
is still very great room for i'm
provement in this respect. He
finds great need for more def
mite settlement of the question
of what breeds of stock, cattle
and hogs are best adapted for
North Carolina farmers. He
finds that poultry raising is in
almost all cases a side line, al
though, there seems to be splen-
did opportunity for the develop
ment Of special poultry farms
where the finest breeds are rails
ed for commercial purposes. The
bulk Of the market poultry is
still of the nondescript varieties
with the supply equal to the de-
mand at no season of the year.

Confederate Monument For Louis.
burg.

In the November number Of
the Confederate Veteran an ar
ticle written by Mr.. w. H. Ruff
fin, of Louisburg, says that the
Joseph Davis Chapter United
Daughters of the Confederacy is
making much effort to erect a
monument to the Confederate
dead in Louisburg. They have
raised in cash about $1,000 for
this purpose, and the county
commissioners under authority
given them by the General AS
sembly Of North Carolina at its
session of 1911, subscribed the
sum Of $1,000. The monument
in view will cost about 50, 600. 1t
will be erected in the courthouse
square. A plan is now on foot
to make this monument cOmbi-
nation memorial to the Confeder-
ate dead and the historical event
when the Confederate flag, Stars
and bars was first raised on that
same spot.
