Fire Prevention Day.

Mr.. J. D. Taylor, president of the
Retail Merchants Association of Will
son has received a letter from Mr.,
J. r. Young Insurance Commissioner
regarding Fire Prevention Day which
has been designated, Oct. 9th.
Mr.. Young says in part:
"On this day let the property own
ers personally examine their premises
and see that all rubbish and debris
likely to cause fire is removed.Let
them examine their chimneys, f1ues
pipes and furnaces and see that they
are safe for the winter fires. I ear
nestly request the mayors of oul
cities and towns and the chiefs OF
ocr fire departments and their men
and in fact all business men and good
citizess, to spend one day at least in
the examination of our cities and
towns, learning their fire conditions
and dangers, and having every men
a eacnd condition which will bring
about a fire promptly remedied."
Prevention of fires win result mo-
only in lower insurance rates but al
so to protection of lives. Fires have
caused the death of seventeen per
sons in North Carolina during the
present year.
1t is to be hoped that the citizens
of Wilson will observe Fire Proven
ton Day as intended by the authori
ties.

Mexico City, Oct. 5.-Plans for a
new revolutionary movement with
ramifications in Oazaca, Morelos,
Pachuca and in the National Capital
directed against the supremacy of
Madero, are said to have been dis
covered by secret agents of the pres

date said to have been fixed for the
beginning of hostilities.
There have been discovered in this
city, according to one who has the
confidence of Madero, the existence
of secret caches of arms which were
removed through connivance of po
lice official before they could be seiz

en- route to Salina Cruz intended fol

the chemistry bureau chief around
whom the pure food controversy cen
tered, the pure food and drug board
of the department of agriculture,
which passes upon matters of vital
concern to immense manufacturing
interests, will hereafter have largely
augmented authority. From the com
plication that grew out of Solicitor
McCabe's admitted control of the
work of the board, the friction be-
tween McCabe and DR.. Dunlap, as
sistant chief of the chemistry bureau
on one side and Wiley on the other
the three constituting the board, the
fight for official supremacy aired be-
fore Congress, Attorney General
Wickersham's recommendation for
Wiley's exoneration by President Tart
there developed today a clearer view
of DR.. Wiley's enlarged powers.
DR.. R. E. Doolittle, of New YORK
a veteran chemist <named to succeed
Solicitor McCabe on the board, was
personally selected by DR.. Wiley. Ihe
two will act as a working majority
the only other member being Or. r

new GRADES
FOR COTTON
GOVERNMENT WANTS PLANTERS
TO GET BENEFIT OF new
SCHEME
OF VERY GREAT Benefit

Washington, Oct 5.-An effort to
seccre higher prices for cotton by
an Improvement in the methods of
handling, grading and marketing the
crop is to be made by the govern
ment this year in cooperation with
prominent cotton growers.
The plan is designed to bring to
the cotton ra1sers the full benefit Of
the increase in value that can be
secured by a careful grading of the
crop to correspond with the new gov
ernment standards. The standards
have been in the hands of the cotton
recognized as official standards OF
the trade.
Officials of the Agricultural De
partment are planning to take the
crop from plantations selected as
experts will use the most approved
methods of grading, handling. baling
and selling, and will make accurate
returns on each operation for the
benefit of the cotton growers.
1t is believed that if the cotton
raisers can be trained to grade the
crop carefully in it's initial handling
it's value can be greatly increased
by putting the crop into grades that
command higher prices. Efforts are
being made to induce farmers asso-
Citations and local bodies to purchase
sets of the government standards for
use in preparing the cotton for the
market.
The price of the standards has
been reduced from $35 to $50 for the
benefit of farmers associations and
the department is recommending that
a "half series" be purchased which
will give farmers facility to grade
their cotton. It is believed cotton
raisers of the South will benefit to
the extent OF millions of dollars if
the improvements in handling and
marketing methods can be made gen.
eral.

CONTROL OF YIELD ABSOLUTE
LY ESSENTIAL.


and ever increasing fertility of the
soil it behooves the South to at once
inaugurate protective measures that
the yield of cotton may be controlled
Tffe South has within her grasp
the foundations <of a fortune. :. Her
cotton crop is the mainstay of the
nation and if the yield and market
ing are systematically controlled an
average price of Is cents per pound
may be obtained every year. For
this reason it is we'll that the farm
ers are organizing. In no other way
can they control the acreage planted,
the marketing and the yield.
OF course, there will be lean years
and fat years, some years When the
earth will produce more than anotn-
er even from given number or acres
but if the surplus is carried either
on the farms or in storage ware
houses the surplus will not Welgn
heavily upon the market and should
prove an asset to be carried over
and sold at fair price the next year,
when as a rule the production will
be diminished.
A study of the yield discloses that
the earth produces short crop, a
medium crop and full crop. rms
has been the experience during the
Dast three years and it will grow
more and more this way as man
comes to understand that while the
seasons play an important part,tnat
