EXPIRE DECEMBER 5 |

Owing to the large number of in
Qulries having been received from
county officials and attorneys in
this district, the Revenue Depart
ment Of Eastern North Carolina dis
trict has given out a statement to
the effect that the war stamp act
will not expire until December 81.
The act expires by limitation on
that date, but it is generally expect
ed that Congress will extend the
act for another year, if not two
more. It is also believed that Con
gress will include more commodi-
ties in the act, gasoline being one
to be rated for taxable purposes.
Many people have been under
the impression that the act expired

DEMONSTRATION WORK INCREASES
PER ACRE YIELD OF CORN.

Since Demonstration Work start
ed in the State, eight years ago, one
q the crops that has been given
special attention is that of corn.
Reports coming in now from County
Agents show that the work is bring
ing results. AS an instance might
oe given the report of farmer in
Chatham County who never Dro.
duced over 70 to 80 bushels OF cor,
on his farm per year before he en-
3a9ed in Demonstration Work
He depended on growing cotton and
tobacco with when to purchase
high priced corn. Gradually. how
ever, he has been following the
methods advocated by the demon
stratlon movement. This year he
has eight acres of corn that is pro-
ducing $50 bushels. His farm now
is practically covered with clover
and other winter cover crops. In
addition to having humus to turn
into his soil, these crops prevent
washing and teaching, and also fur
nishes much grazing for live stock
during the winter.
The secret of the building up Of
this soil to such a producing ca
pacity is deep plowings, the growing
Of winter cover crops, and good
cultivation. Any farmer who will
adhere to these few principles prop
erly ought soon to be making from
40 to SO bushels Of corn per acre
on his farm. When that is done
other crops will grow in proportion.

RUNAWAY CARS
WRECK BUILDING.

The Harris Offie building at Dills-

day morning by runaway freight
cars which started at Addie, a

ees in the office, sustained tire :
broken ribs and several other cuts
ABOUT the face and body; he was
given medical attention by DR.. c. Z.
Gambler of this city, and it is believ-
ed that he is not seriously hurt.
Mr.. Queen was the only one in the
building at the time it was struck
and he was seated At a large desk
and that is given for the reason that
! he was not more seriously injured
! as the desk held the timber off OF
him.

years 0nd has now successfully es-
:t"5lished a school of student ap-
jprentices enlisted from graduates Of
the leading Southern universitie es.
This IS in effect a post graduate
course in overalls with an assurance
of a practical life opportunity to
those who succeed.
The men are carefully selected,
after conference with university
authorities, their standing with
their fellow students and general
qualities Of leadership Cisplayed in
their college life being considered
as well as their scholastic attain
ments aud special consideration
being given to men who wholly or
in part pliI their way through COL
lege. The pay offered at the start
is comparatively small and the
work involves hardship and self de-
nial to an extent that proves the
stamina of those who continue the
course.
The course has been arraneed
to take the student apprentice
through the daily duties of track
work as follows: lst, as section Ia
borer; End, as laborer in yards and
terminals; 3rd, as laborer in extra
gang: 4th, as assistant forem an on
extra gangs or in yards; 5th, as re-
lief or designated section foreman;
9th, as assistant supervisor. From
assistant supervisor the student ap-
prentice may be promoted to su-
perViSOr, to assistant roadmaster,
to roadnaster, and on up as his
his qualifications may justify and
opportunity may offer as vacancies
occur.
Southern Railway now has in it's
employ thirteen student apprentices
of whom seven have been promot-
ed to assistant supervisors and it is
a source of pride to the MANAGE
ment that by sticking to the course
under the conditions imposed and
by winning the esteem of their fel-
low employees and their superior
officers, these student apprentices
have Justified their employment as
we'll as having assured the success
of their individual careers.

The Richmond Virginian. (Richmond, Va.) 1910-1920, 1915-11-06

near this city has set the police at
work to unravei a mystery that thus
far battles them. The man, from
papers on his clothing. has been iden-
tilted as Joseph Peilini an Italian.
aged twenty-five. He came here from
Harrisburg, Pa. where he had been
arrested for stealing bicycle. 1t
also has been learned that Pellini,
while in Washington, was employed
by Chief Flynn of the secret service.
The Italian was used as stool pigeon,
and the deduction is made that per-
haps the Harrisburg arrest was made
to allow him to meet criminals that
might be under suspicion.
An autopsy showed that he had
been stabbed at least dozen times
two weeks ago. In all his body show
ed thirty-five stab wounds. The man
when found had been dead about
twenty-four hours. Black Hand menu
bers are suspected of doing away with
pellini.
