Friday morning the general
assembly of South Carolina
adjourned Wednesday night at
$50 o'clock. No, we are not
drunk, neither is the above a.
mistake of our type settlers or an
oversight of the proof reader.
1t w S this way. The members
had agreed to adjourn Wednes-
day night and when the time
came and they found they were
not through they stopped the
old clock in house chamber and,
SO tar as the house was concern
ed, time ceased to be. Friday
morning when they finally vot-
ed to adjourn, it was still We'd
nesday night.
General disappointment is
expressed that so few Of the
constructive measures introduc-
ed during the session became
law. Probably the two most
important acts of the session are
the vital statistics bill and the
negotiable instruments bill, the
latter of which you may consult
your lawyer about if you are
interested. The vital statistics
bill provides for record of all
berths and deaths in the state.
This act becomes effective July
1914, and places the burden of
its enforcement upon the state
board of health. More than
three hundred acts were passed,
but nearly all were of a local
nature. The senate pared the
appropriations bill enough
probably to make the taxes this
year a little less.
The house was inclined to-

but not so with the sheriff of
this good county of ours. When

house near Middendorf bv the

and caused him much pain and
quite a bit of money, he told
how she had caused him to suf
and said she was guilty.. but

grand jurors not TO find a

had three small children who
have no one else to look to for
support, and sal ID to punish her

Throat, told the jurors that they
would be compelled to find a
true bill, but he told them that
he would never try the case
during good behavior of the
woman and she was according
ly set free TO care for the little
ones.

matter, but the little things

report current that a boiler

b1own up at his mill a few
west of Monroe and that
damage had been done
3tis not known by some yet
{hat it was true report.
H The foundation for the cir

that on that morning about 9
o'clock, Mr.. John A. Winchester
who lives on r. F. D. No. 4
from Waxhaw, began burning
some brush and having such
poor success, decided to try a
box of dynamite, consisting of
forty sticks, that he had secured
from the HOWE gold mine and
which the donors had consider
ed worthless. He placed the
box in the fire and went to his
home. 1t was but few minutes
before the explosion occurred
and it was sufficient to make
anyone believe that a boiler had
exploded and several other
steamcaged vessels besides.
When Mr.. " inchester returned
he was unable to find any brush
to burn and the spot where rest

in a way worthy of mention. In

PROSPECTIVE CANDIDATES.

The Cavalier Chronicle sizes up the
political situation as to county officers
as follows: For sheriff, John r. ellison,
st. Thomas: o. g. Olson, Drayton: W..
II. Ctten, Cavalier, republicans; Peter
Cameron, Tyner; Peter Fox, Walhalla,
democrats.
County treasurer, Swain Thorwaldson,
Mountain, republican; l. j. Foster, Bath
gate; Jas. McCabe, Glasston, democrats
and perhaps A. B. Purdy of toilette If
he does not run for county commission
er again.
States attorney, H B. Spiller and J..
E. Garvey, republicans, and VIM. Nc
Murchle, democrat.
County auditor, VIM. w. Felson,
Superintendent of schools, Miss Char
lotte Jones, democrat; Miss Ella Robert
son of Bathgate, republican.
Register of deeds, George Roadhouse,
republican; James Cran'ey, democrat.
County Judge, H. G. Wick.
Clerk of court, j. D. Winlaw, democrat.
Messrs Joseph Morrison and Norman
Matheson of the county board will be
candidates to succeed themselves as will
Mr.. A. B. Purdy If he does not run for
treasurer.
While the officers that are seeking re-
election are all avowed candidates, and
some of the other aspirants are also in
the field,' a considerable number
Of the others are as yet Tin the hands of
their friends"-besides the crop is not
all IN sight.

s'AoRE LOGIC.

Sometime ago the Ping Paper said the
county board had turned down bid of
$1,000 for court house furniture and pur-
chased higher furniture of another firm.
The Chronicle has specifically denied
this in about the following terms:
/. There was no bid of $1,000.
2. II there was such bid it was not
legal.
8. The price paid was only $500, lin
cluding 600 for spitoons.)
4. The commissioners bought the
higher priced furniture because it har-
monized better with the building.
All Of which is % clear ss-the water
from tho Cavalier sewer-which runs
and don't run.

DOES THE SEWER SEW?

As noted last week the Chronicle says
it does and does not. The Pink Paper
OF last week says that a prominent citi-
z-n of Cavalier says that the city is pay
ing man s6.t o day to keep the sewer
flushed. And among tie bills allowe d
by the county board at the last session
and published in this issue is one for w.
Il. Ferch "for hauling water for the
h"a,ing plant at the court house s57 75,''
aud that's lot of water Tor cheating

Prepare For Farmers Meetings. .

Prepare For Farmers Meetings.
Raleigh.-More than 500 well known
agriculturists and practical farmers
from various parts OF the state and
members of the staff Of farm spe-
cialists maintained by the state de-
partment of agriculture were here for
a three days conference preparatory
for dividing into special farmers in
stitute workers for the series Of farm
ers' Institutes that are to be held I'M
der the auspices of the state depart
ment of agriculture in all those coun-
J ties stretching from Raleigh west
ward to the crest Of the Blue Ridge
Mountains during the next 60 days.
Capt. T. B.. Parker is director Of the
Institute work and has arranged the
dates for the Institutes and will have
immediate supervision of the work of
all four of the parties that started out
from here, imediately after the con-
ference closed to take up the work of
holding the instituts, Chatham, Dur
ham, Moore, Hoke, Davie and Ran
dolph being among the first counties
to have Institutes in connection with
this series.

Newton lnstalis white way.

Newton.-The installation of a six
teen-pole white way around the
business square in Newton has very
nearly assumed stage of complete
ness, and when finally installed will
place the square in this city in a COM
petitive sphere with any city in
North Carolina. The white way poles
which are constructed from metallic
substance are 13 feet in height, con-
tanning one large bulb on top, togeth-
er with four smaller bulbs hanging
from suspended beams at the top, and
situated as the poles will be, three
to the side of each part Of the square,
the harmony that will be produced by
the refraction of the light will be such
as to attract the attention of an artist
in passing through. On each far cor
ner of the square a white way pole of
larger dimensions will be placed, the
entire scheme being carried out In
fuller detail by the erection of these
poles on each outside corner.

in Raising the Weed. J.

New Bern--Reports from all parts
OF Craven and adjoining counties are
to the effect that the crops Of corn
and cotton are all that could be de-
sired and that the farmers are very
optimistic Especially is the cotton
crop standing we'll and the yield Is
expected to- be unusually large The.

city recently. It was grown on the
farm Of John L. Robinson, at Vance
boro, and is well developed in every
way. Mr.. Robinson has quite large
acreage in cotton and according to a
statement made by him, the plants
are unusually hardy and give prom
Use OF giving large yield. Cotton all
around Vanceboro is In ffst-class
shape as is the crop of tobacco, which
is being grown. in that section this
season. 49,
The acreage In tobacco is~unusually
large, owing to the fact that a new
tobacco warehouse Is to be opened at
Vanceboro In the fall, and the plant
ers will have a local market at which
they can dispose of their produce.
Craven county farmers will also have
a local market for their tobacco in
the new warehouse, which is now be-
ing erected by A. T. Dill There is
also probability that another to-
bacco warehouse will be opened here
during the fall and in fact several
tobacco buyers from Virginia have
already been in the city making in
vestigation toward this end, but up
to the present time they have made
no definite announcement The local
| market will draw from Pamlico, Car
teret, Craven, Jones and Onslow
counties and thousands of pounds OF

Army Worms In Durham County.

Durham.-Tte Southwestern Sec
ton of the county has been troubled
with an invasion of army worms,
which at one time threatened to de-
stroy much of the feed crops of that
part of Durham township. AT the pres
emit time the area of infection Is
about mile from the city limits and
the worms have confined their depre-
dations to a hay patch and cornfield
on the farm operated by Mr.. Ed Cole.
The worms are making their way
toward the southwest and some Of the
farmers of that section have been
very much concerned. They called
on the county demonstration and head
of the farm life school to aid them In
the fight against the worms, and he
has made visit to that section. s
