REV. N. G. THOMPSON
 THE SPECIAL PREACHER.
Topic at Union Lenten Service Was
 Joy Through Sacrifice.

Joy Through Sacrifice was the sub 5ect of an uplifting and helpful sermon by Rev NJ George Thompson, rector of Christ church, Greenwich, N. Y.. on Wednesday evening, preaching at Trin- ity Episcopal church in the sixth of the midweek united Lenten services, There was a good sized congregation present, and the service of evening prayer was read by ATChdeacOn J. El- dred Brown
 Rev MT Thompson took for his text ehe verse II Chronicles xxix, 27, And when the burnt offering began, the song of the Lord began also This re- ferred to an incident in the reign of HsEekiah where he was re- establishing the worship of God in the kingdom of Israel after his fathers neglect had caused the worship of Jehovah to fall into disrepute, with wickedness preva- lent in the nation. The preacher said that He2elSiah had reached the right thought when he set the people to get right first with God as a means of getting their own lives right and re- storing the nations welfare. National prosperity reaches down into the re- ligious life of the people, and for the man to set himself towards right and duty is to prepare the way for joy in his soul Every great enthusiasm leads to God. and to be whole hearted means to be facing Godward, but to be half hearted means to be missing a great part of tn joy and purpose of life. The text tells us something of how to bear our crosses. There Is difference be- tween sha dows and crosses. The shad- oWs we pass through, but the cross is something which not to bear is to miss some great thing out of our lives. Take up your cross, hug it to your heart and say it comes from God, then will come perfect harmony, and when the offering begins you will hear the song of the Lord also
 Greek and stoio philosophy which meant not self surrender but self sup pression failed, but Jesus Christ beau tifed and glorified everything by mak- ing self sacrifice a need of life. He teaches as that the only way to vic tory is through the cross, and by that we should measure our lives for that is the standard. The cross is call to duty, but We need it with struggle, for from that will come the joy and then the victor. May millions see in our lives the spirit of the cross in tender ness, love, foreivgness and forbear- anee. Living in this atmosphere, wherever comes the sacrifice, always comes the song the music, the peace.

Pratt, Read & Co. of Deep River, which the board of trade and Norwich business mems association have been sndeavorlng to interest in locating a plant here, is up in arms over the assessment of their property where they are, and the town is much per turbed over it.
 The reason for all this disturbance is that the board of relief lacked up the tax list of Pratt, Read & Co.,, the leading industry of the town, about &9S,000 over what it was last year, and the company very naturally ob- tects vigorously.
 Pratt, Read & Co. is a large and prosperous corporation. Its capital stock is s50O.OO0, consisting of 10000 shares at par value of $25 each. An official of the company said he did not care to state what the market value is, but one familiar with 1t said that the shares are held at not less than s75 esteh and none to be had.
 Last year the company paid divi- dends amounting to 30 per cent The average dividend for the past dozen years has been 21 1-4 per cent.
 About 400 persons are employed and the payroll, not including the salaried officials, amounts to about toVVsUVO yearly
 The company owns four mills and storehoOses. The main factory is about 250 feet in length and five stories at one end and six at the other. It is of brick and a brick office building adjoins it. Another factory building is situated a half mile or more away. It is small compared with the main building.
 The company manufactures piano and organ keys and keyboards in the larger factory and ivory combs and piano ivory in the smaller of the two.
 The company owns about forty acres of land and on these are the factories, twenty eight dwelling houses a power house and bleach houses and smaller buildings It also conducts an ID to date farm with stock consisting of horses, cows, pigs, etc.
 A lumber yard carrying hundreds of thousands of feet of the finest lumber grown the year round would make the average dealer envious.
 It requires the ivory from 250 eIe- I,ha1ts monthly to furnish stock for the ivory piano keys and combs; and in addition much celluloid is used.
 It seemed to be the opinion of G. l.. Cheney, president and treasurer of the company. that the proposed

FLATTERING OFFER FROM NORWICH
President Cheney of Pratt Read Co., of Deep River Dis satisfied With Tax Assessment There-Factory For Max ing Piano Player Action May Go Elsewhere.

manufacture of the pneumatic player action, preparations for which were made some months ago and have al- ready been referred to, is in a large degree responsible for the increase in the assessment, although 1t is in no way warranted. Concerning this branch of the business Mir. Cheney said the extra story was added to the factory and a number of hands em- ployed to begin the manufacture of the action in a small way, the inten- ton being to increase it as conditions warranted and finally build an inde pendent factory or large addition for this line also. He said a high grade of nelp is required for it and the peo pic now employed at Deep River are teaching others. He asserted that the plans were to increase that end of the business to so great an extent as to eventually. in the near future, give employment to as many hands as are now employed in the main shop.
 Offer from Norwich.
 Now, however the future of that branch of the company's manufacture Is uncertain. Mir. Cheney was very emphatic on that point. And he did not hesitate to say that the action of the board of relief in raising the com pany's assessment was responsible for it, He said he did not know just what will be done The manufacture of the player action may be resumed in New York, or the company may decide to Iocate elsewhere. He said very flattering offers have been received from Brattleboro, Vt. Norwich, this state, and several other places. MT. Cheney intimated that it is unlikely that the business will be carried on in Deep River at present
 When the inquiry was made as to whether there was any truth in the report that Pratt, Read & Co. were thinking seriously of removing their entire business elsewhere, MT. Cheney said: Absolutely none. Such a, pro- cedure would be ridiculous
 MT. Cheney asserted that the player action business could be carried on cheaper in the Bronx district of New York than in Deep River, but the com pany would rather it were located at Deep River. if they could receive jus tice in treatment on the part of the town.
 As to the progress by the local or ganiZationS, the committee states that the matter stands where it did a few weeks ago, the return of an official from the west being awaited.

bullets fired by the guard and sue

belonging to the white camp of four
teen convicts, were cutting poles in
the woods when they eluded the Wig

Dogs were Immediately placed up
ON the tracks, but the fugitives evil

worn. The escaped conEicts were
sent here from Fulton county They
are Harry Langdon, sentenced to
twenty years for burglary; Luther

S4O,5OO FROM SIXTY ACRES
POTATO FIELD PROVES AS PROF
TABLE AS A GOLD NINE.
Bryan County Man Gets Nine ThOus-
and Barrels and Sells Them
at $3.50 Barrel.

BY raising $40,500 worth of pota-
toes on sixty acres of Bryan county
farm land p l.. Baiey of Ways Sta
ton, has proved conclusively that
the farmers of this section have no
need of going to Alaska in order to
dig their fortunes from the bosom of
Mother Earth, says the Savannah
News.
There is nothing unreal about this
performance. Mr.. Bailey has actu-
ally produced on his sixty acres no
less than 5000 barrels of the high
est grade of potatoes, for which he
has received $3.50 a barrel f. o. b.
Ways. 1t does not require a skilled
mathematician to arrive at the val
ue of his record-breaking crop.
Deciding to plant sixty acres OF
his farm in potatoes, Mr.. Bailey Sc
cured an early mataring variety OF
seed known as Red Bliss" He
planted the whole acreage in this,
employing the most approved meth
DDS of intensive farming in order to
insure as plenteous a yield as posi-
BILE.
Results attained may be imagined
from the figures at the beginning OF
this article. Not only was his croI
an excellent one, but the potatoes
were almost twice as large as those
usually raised at this time of the
year, and were as firm and sound as
any produced elsewhere in TIE coun-
Itry.
1t is estimated that this crop OF
potatoes in the Northern markets
will sell for $3.50 to So barrel, the
freight being about 50 barrel.

something about honor. Mark An
thony said that the assassins of JUL
Jus Caesar were honorable men, ac-
cording to ShakesL care. Well, when
the board, the honorable board, cut
the country schools down to the sew
enth grade, thus forcing Reuben's
children that he had scrimped and
saved to get them above the seventh
grade to patroniZe their pet schools
Mr. Superintendent, do you remem-
Der who it was that .rassled with you
for over an hour to get you to agree
to rescind? Well, if you don't he has
the order signed by you prior to
the resembling. What guarantee has
Reuben that ii you beat in this cleo
ton you won't go back to the sew
enth grade for country schools?
What guarantee has Reuben that
you won't get up some more "neces-
sary" debt in your estimation? Why
did you single out Parrott in prefer
ence to the other four schools? Let
me tell you. We are proud of Par
rott. Her people ere prosperous,
progressive, alive to the interests Of
PARROT, straight as a single and
honest. They saw you had the ball,
willing to toss it, and they got it.
Who blames them? We don't. I
say, go it, Parrot: get what you can.
Now, Mr. Superintendent, let's take
Bronwood. A few years ago the IT,
tie of their school property was in
the local trustees. The county be-
fore they would help them must
have the deeds. Then the house got
burned with NO insurance. Did the
old local board carry any insurance,
and why not the county board? Was
it crime against Reuben, who was
taxed to help rebuild the house, by
not insuring it?
You, Mr.. Superintendent" let the
Dawson people vote on taxing their
property, or don't let them vote in
electing a ssuperintender-" Mr.. gu
perintender,' does the YeOmans
I'school cost over $4,000 to run it?
| have heard so. The law as it is
now fixes all school houses in Ter
rell county whereby only ten people
can object to removal or conBOlida-
ton. Then your board rs reduced
to nothing but disbursing machine
Cannot the Ordinary, with one
fourth the pay, do the work? The
examination papers for teachers are
prepared by the state officials. Then
why a county board?
The lawyers are divided cUn the
legality of the law you exist under
Well, let's see if they will be di-
vided if we will employ them with
bill of injunction to stop the mon
ey from going where you think ii
necessary" We want each district
to handle it's own tax money for
schools when they think they need
it. ]. E. WALLER.

TREES WERE WINTER KILLED
spects MIR. Baldwinss Orchard,
The Loss Is Heavy.

Mr.. A. C. Lewis. assistant state
entomologIst, arrived in the city on
Wednesday morning to inspect the
peach orchard of Mr.. L. E. Baldwin,
which, as reported in the hast issue
of The News, was dying from some
strange and unknown cause.
Mr.. Lewis, after examining the at
efected trees, stated that they had
been winter killed." which is to say
that they are dying as the result OF
having budded during warm spell
of weather last winter. The tops OF
the trees are dying as if from "a wilt,
and the roots in the ground are
sprouting again.
Mr.. Baldwin has more than 500
trees of his best variety that are
affected and Will die. They are val
ued at $500 a tree, and he says his
loss will be at least $4,000
