Dallas Advocate.
Shall the people ruIe?" II has
been put TO them In different ways
every since the foundation of the re-
public.
Let's bring II down 10 our own
county of CASTOR. IL our people
have sense enough 10 elect a county
board of commissioners. they also
have sense enough TO elect q county
board Of education; and IL they have
the count, a sheriff. or any other Of
ficer. IL seems TO Us that they have
capacity sufficient TO tlect a county
superintendent OF schools. The peo-
pie of Cleveland. Buncombe. Neck
lenburg and Iredell Counties have
the ability and legal right to elect
their county school officials and our
CASTOR County citizens are equal 10
the task. They are fully up to their
neighbors.
There Is no more reason for the
people electing the State Superinten-
dent of Public Instruction than
there Is for the popular election Of
the County superintendent; no more
reason why the State Board should
be elected than there Is for the
County Board.
The excuse for the present anti
quated plan does not now exist. There
is not a county in North Carolina to-
day that would elect negro to the
| County Board OF Education-all that
has passed away. There was a time
when such could occur, and there is
/ the reason for the system that OBJ
tains in most of our counties.
! We congratulate the Lincoln
| County News on it's stand for the di-
rect election of County Superinten,
dents, and this and other express
sions of the same kind indicate that
the day is no longer distant when
the people of this State will elect al
their county officers.
1t is an insult to the intelligence
of our people to say that they would
not elect the right kind of man tt
head their school work, or that they
would remove the right kind Of g
man from the Office on account Of
partisan politics. They would nc
more do this than they would in the

Farm Topics
KEEPING POTATOES IN THE
SOUTH,

Growers of potatoes in the cut-over
pine regions, where the soil is emf
nently fit for this crop, should never
suffer a loss from low prices since
there are ways of holding their prod
uct until better prices prevail.
Over in Bessemer, Ala, this fall
there was a surplus of potatoes and
the growers could not realize more
than so cents per bushel. This was
the case when at other points in the
South potatoes were selling for twice
that figure and the people were grum-
bling because they had to pay retail
as much as and cents per pound.
Just why these potatoes were not
shipped to other sections where bet
ter prices prevailed is not explained,
but possibly the growers preferred
the market at Birmingham, closer to
home, to which the transportation
rates were not so large.
At any rate, many of the farmers
there were advised to place their sur
plus away in trenches on the follwo-
ing plan, and it is presumed that
many of them have done so.
Dig a trench four feet wide, one
foot deep, and sufficiently long to &C
cOmmodate the number of potatoes
desired to be held. Put about four
inches of pine straw on the bottom of
this trench, then put in the potatoes,
with air chamber or opening every
two feet apart. These air stalks,
bound in bundles eight inches in di-
ameter, three feet long, so part OF
these bundles of stalks will project
above the potatoes. Cover the pota-
toes with ten inches of pine straw.
The sides of the bank should be Gov
cred with at least three inches of dirt
taking care to leave the center or TOP
about two feet wide free from dirt
but have the potatoes covered with
pine straw. Over all this there should
be shelter so that the rain cannot
reach the potatoes. There should
also be trench dug around the en-.
tire pit about twelve inches deep tc
provide for the water to run off.
Thus it is readily seen that in sec.
lions where there is plenty of pine
straw the keeping Of potatoes is ar
easy thing. Trucker and Farmer.

Electro Chemical Plant at NitrOlee,
s. c., Soon to Be Completed and
Work Begin.
Charlotte Observer
The last sections of machinery for
the fertilizer plant Of the Southern
Electro Chemical Company at Nitro
lee, S. c., have been received and
placed in position and those in charge
are now engaged in testing out tie
several parts of the mechanism. The
greater portion of this plant Is made
of porcelain fire-clad brick and glass
such as is able to Withstand the
fiery effects of the nitric acid, and
almist all of it is manufactured
abroad
Two months ago the oxidation
towers, cooling chambers, furnaces,
tanks, pipes and connections had been
finished, but on account of delay in
shipping several of the blowers, 4"
the trial starting Of the plant was
postponed until this week. These
blowers will force the aid through
the electric arc at high temperature
where the oxygen and carbon dioxide
will be consumed and the nitrogen
precipitated in the form of nitrous
oxide. This nitrous oxide is then con-
veyed to four immense porcelain
towers, each seventy-five feet in
height, where it is condensed and
allowed to settle in pans Of lime
stone rock, the resultant mixture be-
| ing nitrate of lime, one of the most
valuable constituents of commercial
| fertilizers.
This plant at Nitrolee is largely
for experimental purposes. 1t will
utilize 1000 horsepower of electricity
from the Great Falls plant of the
Southern Power Company a mile
distant. II this plant is successful
then a second one viii be built to util-
ize 10000 of electrical horsepower
This 1000 horsepower plant will pro-
duce five tons of nitric acid every
twenty-four hours which will give
about eight tons of nitrate Of lime
The price of nitrate of lime is $50 Q
ton.
It is expected to have the plant In
commercial operation within weeE
or two. Just as soon as the machinery
has been tested out and approved.

A Wonderful Mich Cow.

Mr.. Lawrence Lemmond, of Vance
Township, has a cow that is eighteen
years old and is the mother of fifteen
calves. She is a great mixer, gives
an average of two gallons Of milk
per day the year round, and will
easily yield half a pound Of butter per
day every day in the year. That cow.
If all the milk she has furnished had
been churned, would have to her
credit 1920 pounds of butter, and at
20 cents per pound It would bring
s7S4. She has given 1850 gallons
of milk, and if after the churning
this milk had been sold at the market
price of ten cents per gallon, 1t would
have brought $1.56S, or grand to-
tai for milk and butter OF $2,352.
The cow is now giving milk and can
not be brought for $50.-Monroe

Johnston Couafy Republican shows
That ssanciI's Charge. Are In
true-Iarge MaIovsty Of R~puhai-
cans Wanted Butler Go speak
There
Editor CaucasiAn:-I notice In the
few last Issues Of the Smithfeld Jour
nal that Mr.. ]. c. Stancil lthe ed
itor) has undertaken the job Of try
Ing to politically kill Mr.. ]. VI. More
head and the whole Butler family.
This Is the same game Mr. stancii
tried 20 play two years ago. and the
result was that Johnston County In
creased her Democratic vote when IL
was generally conceded even by the
leading Democrats that Johnston
County would go Republican.
II the writer's memory serves him
correctly, we have seen much bigger
men than Mr.. Stancil undertake the
Job of killing Marion Butler political
ly. Some of them have never been
/ heard from since. Some others have
but we do want him TO go way back
and sit down; and IL he keeps up this
| racket against Mr.. Morehead and the
| Buffers it will be only a question of
/ time before he will occupy a back
seat / want to say TO the charges of
Mr.. Stancil. that Buffers coming 10
Johnston County and making a
speech hurt US is a very misleading
statement and no one knows it better
| than Mr.. Stancil himself, and the
statement that no one wanted him to
come to the county but Chas. F.
Neighbors is the worst statement OF
all. We have about go regular Re
publicans in Banner Township, and
| will venture to say that every Re
publican was anxious for Mr.. Butler
to come with the exception of eight
or ten men, and | want to say right
here that the only sentiment in John
ston County against either OF the
Buffers has been worked up by Mr.
Stancil and his lieutenants as further
proof that the Republican wanted
Butler to speak at Benson, will say
that the day he was billed to speak
here was the same day that Mr.
Stancils candidates was billed to
speak at Elevation Township adjoin-
ing Banner and Mr.. Stancil's candi-
dates were asked to change their
elevation appointment and be at Ben
son with Mr.. Butler; this they re-
fused to do, and when they went to
Elevation they found only eight men
to hear them and Elevation is a
strong Republican Township, the peo
pie had gone to Benson to hear But
Ter. This doesn't look like no one
wanted Butler at Benson, but Chas
F. Neighbors, MIR. Stancil's candidate
left Elevation and returned to Ben
son in the evening and had to 81
back another day to Elevation. 1t il
, fact and Mr.. Stancil cannot den!
, it that he (StanciD tried to keel
everybody away from the Butler
, speaking that he could.
Now, in conclusion, l want to sa.
, that If we had had such a man a!
