SATISFACTORY PLAN WORKED
0TJT. I

The question of getting rid of the
pole S of the N. C. Public Service Co.,
the city and the North State Tel,
ephone Company, so as to let the
White Way show up to the best ad-
vantage has practical solution aft
er much scheming. The North Caro-
lima Public Service has to maintain
poles on the streets for the trolley
wires and high voltage wire and this
being the case the question natur-
ally came up, "Why can't the city
and the North State Telephone Com
pany use this same pole (Which by
the way will be of steeD by putting
on an extension and thus place their
wires, on same with very little trQu-

be high above the ground and fast

commended by all and will not

the good and we presume our hust-
ling Mayor has that very thing in

CHAMPION TOBACCO RAISER OF
GUILFORD.

Mr. Everett Davis, son of Mr.. Cy-
rus Davis, living four miles north, is
no doubt the champion tobacco rails,
er of Guilford county, and will stand
close to the top with any one in the
state. If you want to see real to-
bacco. large. thin, waxy leaves, that
bring the best price, you should take
q peep at that big field of green
which Mr.. Davis is justly proud
of. How he did the trick is rather
a secret and the editor better not
tell tales out of school, but
leave that to this champion tobacco
raiser TO tell himself. If Sir Walter
Raleigh was to come this way doubt
less he would view with pride the
work of his followers. Herewith is
shown a good likeness of MIR Davis,
standing with another friend in his
wonderful patch of tobacco. striking
him around the ears and stalk or
two shown on the right towering
above his head. Tte picture is
rather small but one can form a
pretty good idea of what the real to-
bacco is. You will haveto hand the
diploma to this young tobacco raiser
SO might as well come across. You
cant beat him that. q cinch.

A TRIP TO LOWER RANDOLPH

A TRIP TO LOWER RANDOLPH
Sunday the editor with his family
motored to Spokane, a new village,
four miles below Mofitt's Mill. The
trip was made by way of Asheboro,
Franklinville and Ramseur and the
run was made in good time owing to
the dry condition of the roads.
Some rough road was experienced
between Randleman and Asheboro
where the highway is being fixed
for macadam, and between Moffitts
Mill and Spokane, the road between
Asheboro and Ramseur, being of sand
clay and almost perfect, but strong
on curves and hills.
Spokane and the neighborhood
close by is'ap ideal spot to live.
Most everything can be grown on
the land there, and Notwithstanding
the dry spell fine crop of tobacco
can be seen, especially, while corn
will make itself if rain comes soon.
The wheat crop was a very good
yield. Vegetables did well also.
But in a good season bumper crops
are realized,
But we want to more particularly
speak of the Pell settlement, where
we visited: Three years ago Mr.. S.
F. Pell, of Pilot Mountain, looked
over the surroundings in lower Ran
dOlDh and decided to cast his lot there
where land was cheap and had the
necessary qualifications for good
crops. He bought 40 acres and
began his career. Today he has
about forty acres cleared and can
boast of one of the finest tobacco
crops anywhere, averaging five feet
high now and almost every stalk,
perfect. Mr.. Pell erected the build
ings necessary and today within
three years has transformed the
surroundings wonderfully. He told
his good fortune to a brother who
also soon located, then to broth
er-in-law and he also settled adjoin:
ing, and the end is not near. others
of the family are coming and these
good citizens of Surry Country are
going to show the people how to
raise tobacco and other things as
well. in fact the neighbors dub
them as the tobacco raisers The
editor was much pleased with the
Eeeaeral heassdy oasndings. good
water, well drained lands aud the
soil which never gets nasty to walk
in, plow or handle in anyway.
We must not forget to mention
what a feast!of good things greeted US
on the table, how we'll it was cooked
and prepared for hungry mortals
after a cross-country trip. But the
good lady of the house Knows how
! to cook and good victuals always
gets next to any one.
SIDE NOTES
1t is a prosperous country all
along the route. down the valleys
and on the hills from Asheboro to
Ramseur, and it looks like anything
would grow thereabouts.
Along the line of good roads, good
schools, churches and rural improve
ments, Randolph county has awak'
ened to some extent, but bigger
things are promised in the near fu'
/ ture. ...

WANTS DUKE BACK.
Washington, D. c., AugS11.-Zez.
ulon V. Taylor and Cameron NORA
son, of Charlotte. called on Secre,
tarv Daniels today in behalf of j. B.
Duke of the American T Tobacco GoS1~
! pany, who Is unabie to get away
from London. His telegram to the
North Carolinians asking for help
stated that the situation is serious.
Officers of the tobacco company are
anxious for his return, feeling that
his counsel in the present financial
crisis is needed at home at the tc-
bacco industry, which like the cot
ton, is greatly effected by the war.
To AID Mr.. DUKE.
Secretary Daniels asked the State
Department to cable Ambassador
Page to Aid Mr.. Duke in every pos
sible way. Government officials
here will do all they can for the
North Carolina financier believing
that his counsel and advice will do
as much as anything else toward
keeping the bottom from dropping
out of the tobacco market. The
fact that Mr.. Duke controls the co: .
pany which buys practically all the
tobacco grown in North Carolina
causes Mr.. Dukes movement to be
of particular interest to the people
of that State.

the Russian force to envelop the Ger

the determined offensive taken by the

GOLD FISH
Whence Come the Little Household
Pets.

Our Dumb Animals: Do you know
that the source OF the goldfish, which
often wins our sympathy because OF
its confinement in narrow glass
globes, is in the faraway Flowery
Kingdom across the Pacific?
While some of the goldfish are
grown from eggs of the female fish
kept in hatcheries of the glitterine
coated inhabitants of the water,
most of them come from Japan-the
natural home of the toy fish.
Large quantities of goldfish are
grown for the export trade by Japa-
nese dealers in the Yokohoma dis
.trict. The majority of these fish are
shipped TO San Francisco and Seattle
for the local and eastern markets,
approximately 100000 goldfish are
shipped annually from Yokohoma to
the United States, reports Deputy
Consul General G.. j. Barrett of Yo-
kohoma.
There are four principal varieties
of this fish available for export
namely, the ranchu, demekin, riukin
and wakin. OF these, the ranchu is
most in demand. 1t is not considered
advisable to export these fish until
they haye reached the age of two
years. The average life of the Japa-
nese goldfish is seven years. although
with exceptionally good care and at.
tention they frequently live for ter
years.
Safety in transportation is the
present problem confronting the
dealer. OF extremely fragile and del
icate construction, the fish often be-
come bruised by the rolling motion
OF the ship and die in transit; usually
40 per cent become sickly and die
before delivery is finally made to the
American purchaser.
