A Big Picnic.

One Of the biggest picnics held in the
State is the annual picnic OF the employ.
es of the cotton mills at Greensboro or
the 4th of July. This picnic is given to
the operatives through the liberality oil
their employer, Mr.. Caesar Cone. The
affair will be held in a beautiful 200
acre grove, north of White Oak mills
which is kept up for this occasion
There are 10000 people living in the
villages of these mills, and some idea ol
the extent of this affair may be had from
glance at the following contracts that
are now being made for supplies: SOC
gallons ice cream, 10000 eggs, 5000
bags peanuts, $4,000 pounds water
melons, 10 900 lemons, 600 pounds OF
grannlated sugar 1000 pounds con
fectioneries, 100 crates Alberta peaches
carload pineapples. so gallons sweet
milk, 100 crates tomatoes, $4,000
pickles, 5000 roasting ears, besides
meats and bread. The latter will be
baked at the bakery belonging to the
mills. One hundred and fifty uniformed
walters will serve the dinner to the ten
thousand people.
This great event shows the good feel
ing that can be made to exist between
employer and his employees. Mr.. Cone
has big heart and shows that he does
not live for himself alone but is willing
to give the other fellow a chance. Many
thousand dollars are spent each year to
make the lives OF the operatives OF these
mills pleasant.
Many a mans idea of sbeing well
dressed is d noisy necktie.

THE BOYS CORN CLUB.
About $1,000 In Prizes to Be Give 4
to the Boys of Our State MAXI & he
Most Corn on One Acre.

At the December meeting of the
Board of Agriculture there was ap-
propriated $500 for prizes to boys
OF the State who made the most corn
on an acre of ground. Rules and
regulations governing the contest
we're sent to all applicants. Since
then there has been subscribed by
manufacturers of fertilizers about
$500 more, making about 81 900 to
be given to the boys who excel in
growing corn. In many commit -
the number OF boys entering the co =
test has been disappointing. In
view of this am going to hold my
books open through the month OF
June, and will enroll any boy of the
right age who sends in his applica-
ton. There is yet fine opportuni-
ty for some boy who has not enter d
to do so and win prize There will
be about 500 worth OF prizes to
each Boys Corn Club district. Only
1O7 boys have sent in their applica-
tiOns from the fourth district, as fol-
lows: Vance 0; Granville Is; Dur
ham 8; Franklin 21; Nash II; Wake

What State agriculturally North
Carolina might become in a few

pride should possess every progress
sive person in the district to encOur-
age him to give the movement the
benefit of his or her influence. Let
the fathers and mothers of the boys
in the district encourage them to en-
ter the contest and see how much
corn they can grow on an acre. The
experience will be worth great deal,
even though they should not win Il
prize. Besides. We hope to continue
this work, and if a boy fails to get a
prize this year he stands a better
chance of getting one next year if he
n 10
waits until 1912 to enter.

to any boy who wishes to enter the
contest. Do not write to me to en-

There is National weighing ma
chine in the union passenger depot
here, says the Sanford Express Last
Friday Mr.. Marvin Kelly, the Sea-
board agent at this place opened it
and took out a large number of pen
pies, (it costs one penny to get your
weight } What are the average
monthly receipts from that ma
chine?' asked the reporter of Mr..
Kelly. "About $780," was the reply.
When each person goes to that ma
chine and deposits a penny to get
his weight, he thinks that a very
small amount, and it is, but look at
it in the aggregate-$24.OO a year.
We crossed over the street and found
a boy, some six or seven years OF
age, depOsiting penny in a small
machine to get some chewing gum.
We're that boy to deposit one penny
a week in the bank he would have
80 cents a year and interest. Keep
that up until he has reached his ma
jority and he will have accumulated
a nice little sum. He will have more
money than some of the financial
leaders of this country had when
they started out in life. 1t is the
little things that count.

A Manly Minister.

Their would be less sleeping during
church services if all preachers would
do like one did in Los Angeles not
long ago. The minister went into
the pulpit and the first thing he saw
was two men in the front pew sleep
ing soundly. He called attention to
the fact and one of the sjeepers was
aroused but the other slept on. The
parsOn became indignant, and threw
Il book at the intruder, but without
avail. To the astonishment of the
congregation the minister unloaded
all the books he had in reach at the
sleeping man. The sleeper didn't
seem to mind it much as he looked
up, changed his position and fell
asleep again. This is astonishing.
1t goes to show what a preacher will
stand even if he is in the pulpit. And
he is right, for ii q man does not go
to church to worship he should not
go at all.
