WAKE COUNTY SAVES ss4, 900

By reason of the operation of the
Salary and Fee bill passed in 1911,
Wake county has effected a saving of
S4,lS5.55 in three years. These were
the figures SUI tilted at the second
meeting of the county commissioners
by Auditor H. G. Holding. The com
missioners received the report with
qualification. 1t was known that the
bill had resulted in greater economy
in the government of the county but
it was not known that the saving was
represented in such large figures.

; suggest the unit plan offered by the
State. The state can lend one half
OF money for this. The cost outside
of land and dormitory will be about
| $500. When county or township
meets the requirements the State
gives $4,000 a year as maximum and
M place should have minimum Of
/: less than $500.
'The school teaches three sources

adapted to certain soils is a part of

breeding, ETC., with the knowledge of
balanced ration. Feeding plants for
best results is a necessity.
"Other professions and vocations
such as that of the lawyer, the, minis
ter, the physician and others have
professional training for best results
and does ii not stand to reason that
the farmer needs professionally train
ing to get best results from the farm.
AS a proof of this the boys corn club
work shows that in the state by their
little help from the state through
bulletins they made on an average so
bushels of corn to the acre while their
parents are averaging Is bushels to-
the acre.
Girls are to be taught while tn
boys are taught Principles of home
making and housekeeping are incul-
Gated and they are made.to know how
to make an ideal home economically,
profitabIy and beautifully. They must
learn how to make more money and t
make the country home more Deautt-
full. This will hold the folks in the
country and prevent their mad rush
to the city. Girls are also to know
how to prepare balanced ration for
children and the men. u

kind in county will mean exceeding
" more for the wealth of the county

One boy trained in this school will add
wealth one hundred fold and more to
the county and community"
Considerable interest was shown by
the large number present and it is
hoped that the enthusiasm will not
cool until the farm life school is To-
Gated.

WESTERN CAROLINA APPLES.

1t seems to be. fact that the apple
crop of North Carolina attracts more
attention abroad than it does at home.
The development of the industry in
western part of the State is of better
knowledge in the Northern markets
than in our own State. The New York
Packer, the best authority on fruits
and truck, regularly carries reports
from the North Carolina orchards. and
especially from WaynesvilIe, the heav-
lest shipping point in the Blue Ridge
mountains. In the WaynesYille terri
tory is included Hendersonville. from
which point alone the shipment of ap-
pies will this season reach 200 car
leads. The crop at Black Mountain Is
estimated at between 5000 and 5000
bushels. In Haywood County apple
growing has advanced to the point
g'hen the trees in bearing are counted
by the thousands about zoe, 900 in all
and the orchardists expect a crop OF
100000 bushels. In recent years the
apple growers have paid considerable
attention to improved methods in pack
ing and this has helped to secure bet
tel prices. The yield this season not
only appears to be unusually large,
but the fruit is in excellent condition.
The movement of these apples to the
markets has begun and will be in full
swing by September 15.-Charlotte OBJ

A certain man was called upon to
pay a bill for which he had issued a
check several months before, He
turned to his file Of paid checks and
found the one issued in this particu-
lar case.
There was the date, the amount, the
name of the party paid and also the
Endorsement on the back of the check
by the man who received the money.
The evidence given by the check
settled the dispute at once.
A checking account with this bank
will do the same for yOu-and more.
Why not start one to-day.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 7.-Three
presidents in less than six months, is
the record of Mexico today. With the
swearing into Office OF Gen. Eulalio
Gutierrez by the Aguas Calientes
peace conference. Carrahza, once the
provisional president. and successor
of Gen. Huerta, is practically made an
exile. The latest reports here say he
has departed from his temporary cap
ital Of Puebla to SoIedad, In the state
of Vera Cruz, and within the shadow
of the American army. Another re-
port says Huerta has offered him a
comfortable home abroad"
Agents OF the state department, II
they have not already received in
structions, will probably be asked to
negotiate with the new president TO
insure the safety of foreigners at
Vera Cruz. when the American troops
leave, and to make satisfactory agree
ment with respect to the large collec-
ton OF duties by Gen. Funston at
that port.
The removal of the American
troops Is still one of the big problems
and no action will be taken until as.
surances are given by the new admin
istration that property and life will
be respected
Carranza is expected TO resign and
go to Vera Cruz. according to latest
advices. Since II has been impossi-
BILE for him to carry the Aguas Calien-
ties conference he has been moving
his capital gradually toward Vera
Cruz. The convention has fixed Nov
10 as the day for Carranza's retire
ment. Carranza is reported TO be
working for the retirement OF Cen

Russia Celebrating
Greatest Ncf0ry''

PETROGRAD, Nov. 7.--An Russia Is
today celebrating what is ofiicially
characterized as the greatest victory
of the war" Official accounts agree
that the general advance against Ber.
lin, halted when the Germans invaded
Russian Poland In force. has now been
resumed Three great armies are
pressing forward. The Russian right
wing under Gen. Rennenkampf is re-
posted to have pushed well across the
east Prussian frontier. Its objective
will again be Konigsberg. The Rus
sian central armies, which decisively
defeated the Germans in front OF
Warsaw, Is keeping up its westward
movement and is severely harassing
the Germans who have several times
attempted to resume the aggressive
only TO be defeated with losses. In
Galicia the Austro-German forces have
been defeated all along the line Of the
San river with the exception Of a
small section around Przemysl which
has been screened. The Austrians are
falling back on Cracow and the Rus
SLAMS are again headed for this posi-.
tion.
1t is stated here that the losses of
the Austro-Germ armies have been
very large In the last three weeks.
They have stubbornly attempted to
retaia their positions In the face of
severe artillery fire with the result
that many men have been needlessly
sacrificed During the last week II is
stated that $4,000 prisoners have been
taken, including some officers OF high
rank.
The Russians have also captured
large quantities CT war ammunition
cannon, guns and rapid firers.
The Germans are suffering greatly
| from lack of proper clothing fo> cold
weather fghting. In. the north there
have been heavy SHOWS and In the
south sleet and cold rains. The entire
icountry IL a quagmire. The roads
! have been cut up by the heavy trans
port and are sloughs of mushy mud
and more than foot deep. The RUS
SLAMS are completely equipped for
meeting such conditions, while the
Germans are not.
| Hundreds OF the wounded on both
sides have perished from cold. or
those who could be rescued by the
Red Cross many will die. their wounds
having become infected. There are
many cases of lockjaw. At many
points on the desolated battlefield
great packs OF wolves have come out
of the forests and down from the
mountains and have devoured the dead
and wounded. So bold are they that
they have not hesitated to attack iso-
lated bands OF soldiers.
In their retreat the Germans burn
ed all OF the villages along the route,
according to the latest advices receiv-
ed from the front. The Inhabitants
have suffered greatly and the Russian
government has already taken steps
TO relieve them.
| Advices from the Turkish frontier
say that the Russian advance is con-
tiruing unchecked. Only the Cauca-
sian troops are engaged. although re-
endorsements are being sent to their
aid as they will be compelled to pene-
trate mountainous country through
which there are no railroads and only
Indifferent roads for a distance OF
more than seven hundred miles. Until
the Goeben and Breslan are sunk II
