WE MUST. FEED THE WORLD.

The farmer should keep in mind
that If the European war continues.
the United States, must feed the world:
therefore, it is of great importance
that every acre that can be put in
wheat this fall should be seeded, for.
If the war continues wheat will be
worth $3.50 or 81 per bushel next
year. Last year we raised a record
breaking CROP of all cereals, which
were worth, according to the United
States report, 1921, 900, 900 more than
the crop of the year before. We had
only 300, 900 900 bushels surplus wheat
at that.
The war will make a shortage OF
European grain, which cannot be sup
piled by any ordinary means. Cereals
must be high. Everything else is
high and going higher. We must feed
Germany, France, England and many
other countries: This being one Of
the finest wheat sections in the Unit
ed States, it behooves every man to
encourage the growing of more wheat,
as it will mean greater prosperity for
everybody. Davidson county should
spread herself on a big wheat crop
for 1915.-Eexington Dispatch.

APPALACHIAN PARK WORK DONE
IN WAY OF COPYING RECORDS.

Carrying out a part of the work
Of the gigantic scheme involved in ar
ranging for the great Appalachian re-
serve, which is to cover a vast por-
ton of the mountain forests of east
Tennessee and western North Caro-
lima, E. P. Bushnell, of Johnson City,
is in Raleigh and will be here until
after about October 16 to outline he
procedure in copying grants that
were recorded while Tennessee was
yet a part of North Carolina. They
are in the Office of the secretary of
state at the capitol.
"Mr. Bushnell is working at present
in conjunction with David Gibson of
Marion. He is looking over what is
known as. the Unaka area, emb .ac-
ing territory lying between the French
Broad and Watauga rivers in east
Tennessee. The land lies in parts Of
Carter, Washington, Unicoi, Gree lie
and Cooke counties, Tennessee, and
in parts of Mitchell, Avery, Yancey,
and Mitchell, the highest point east
of the Mississippi river is in Yancey
county. This towering peak will
partly be in the great government
| scheme.
"The general work here is under
the supervision of c. B. Wilson, who,
occupying the entire SENATE chamber
and the ante-rooms, has a large force
helping him. 1t will be several
months before the grants are copied,
but when that work is completed the
government will know along what
lines to proceed.
Grants have been copied for Mad
ison, Haywood, Mitchell, Burke, Nc
Dowell, Pennsylvania and Henderson
counties in North Carolina, only Bun
combe and Yancey counties remain
ing"

Announcement is made to the effect
that arrangements have been made for
through sleeping car service from
Charleston to Chicago.
This coach will be for service
throughout the entire winter, provid-
ing greater accommodations than has
hitherto been the case. During the
summer months the through sleeping
car service is far greater in it's range
but that was discontinued several
weeks ago. Under the present ar
rangement sleeping car <serviee can
only be secured toward Chicago as far
as Cincinnati. However, when the
new coach is put into service, TO he.

Dina Special" passengers can take
the train at Charleston and ride into
Chicago without a change. From

coach will operate over the tracks of

the Southern and from Hartman to
Cincinnati over the lines of the Queen
and Crescent. From Cincinnati to
Chicago the route will be completed
over the tracks of the Big Four sys-
tenn
The placing of this coach in service
means much as it will give a through
train service that will prove attractive
to tourists. This is expected to be
especially true during the latter part
of the winter, travellers being able to
make stop-overs at this place on their
way to and from the south.

The invitation extended several
days ago by Congressman James M.
GGdger, Jr., to James J. Britt to meet
him in a joint campaign of the 10th
district has been declined by Mr..
Britt. The latter gives as his reason
for this step that he considered joint
campaigns and debates an agency for
arousing prejudice and passion, and
are not conducive to calm and de-

AT THE recent exercises of the Bor-
dentown Colored manual and training
school, Governor Fielder was an inter
ested spectator, was shown work done
by the graduates and was fed on cake
baked by them. 1t is said an easy way
to reach a mans pocket is through his
stomach, but it was not Jim's pocket
that was being touched this time, it was
that of the taxpayers. who are facing a
state tax to make up the deficiency
caused by Democratic extravaganza.
Jim did not give them money outright
but he promised ''his undivided sup
port to the institution" This is not
the first promise he has made and it will
not be the last. OF course he had to say
something, but he did not inquire into
the reason why school that has been
kept in existence for about twenty years
has graduated only nine pupils. Last
year this school received over $21, 00(
from the state, and the appropriation fol
the next year is over 1872, 900. 1t would
pay much better for the state to send the
pupils who seek admission to the Dor
dentown school to Princeton, Rutgers
Harvard or some other good college. II
would benefit the pupils more and would
save the state money. The pledge t.
give undivided support" to an institu
ton that has produced no more results
than the Bordentown college, at thu
great expense it has been, is not at al
praiseworthy to Governor who is per
fectly acquainted with the condition o
the state treasury and has staring hin
in the face state tax to provide for ex
travagances in other places. Still it die
not cost him anything to let off SO mucl
hot air.
