THE STATES BACKBONE.

North Carolina finds in It's agricultural re
sources its backbone. In its fertile fields there
are grown the crops which have brought wealth
to the State, and most properly there is being
done by the State all that is possible for the
betterment of the farms and farm life.
But the farmers of North Carolina are not
sitting idly by and waiting for things TO gust
happen for their benefit. They are taking steps
for their own betterment and Improvement,
their wives, and their daughters also, doing like
wise. And as is shown by the boys of the corn
and pig clubs they are not backward in this
program Of looking out for themselves.
This week we are to have an evidence of this
self-help on the part of the farmers of North
Carolina and of the good women who make
home life on the farms of North Carolina the
best part Of it, for the State Farmers Conven-
ton and the Farm Women's Convention are to
be in session at the A. and M. College from Tues
day through Thursday. The programs which
have been arranged for both bodies are programs
which show that it is the practical side of farm
life which is to engage the attention of those
who attend. The topics which are to be dis
cussed are such as to interest every farmer and
farm woman in the State.
A reduced railroad fare rate of three cents
per mile, counting mileage one way, which
amounts to one and a half cents a mile, with

the railroad fare low, while the A. and NJ. Col

CURED that each person bring pillow slips, sheets,
towels, and other necessary toilet articles.
Meals will be furnished at the college at Is
cents each.
Raleigh is ready with the glad hand of well
come for the assembling of the men and women
of the farms. The meeting will be in the ma
ture of an outing, as we'll as one Of work, and
it will prove most pleasant with the social di-
versions, the recreation, and the instruction in
farm matters. Tuesday will see the beginning
of a meeting which is great in promise.

TRUTH IN THE NEWS COLUMNS.

In this matter the Philadelphia Record neatly
trips up and throws on its back its Reput4cau
contemporary, the Philadelphia Inquirer. is p.t-
ting in evidence the statements in the news
columns in contrast With the editorial pc~tiou
Of the Inquirer. 1t begins this by -evins lhat
"In the news columns of the Inqsrer, whore ~

be told, without any partisan bias. We find au

every side, it says comes the same story. ana
it quotes from the Inquirer:
1t is one of large crops, plenty of money.
increased bank deposits. lower cost OF living.
improved labor conditions, increase in
wages, as the demand for both skilled and
common labor grows, and an optimism and
confidence rising higher and higher as the
autumn approaches.
Concerning this the Record continues: This
gratifying condition of affairs, the Inquirer goes
on to say, is by no means due to the war orders
from Europe, which are but one factor in the
situation Continuing, it says
The truth of the matter is that the era Of
prosperity which the country is facing is
due very largely to natural and healthy
conditions, and that it shows every indiCa-
ton Of being stable, durable and permanent
Quoting further from the Inquirer the record
finds that in its news columns It states: IN
many sections of the country reports show wages
going up and living cost going down at the sam
time" and closes its dissertation upon the diver
gence of the news columns and the editorial
columns of the Inquirer by saying: This is only
the truth, of course, but it is not usual to find

THE TOWN AND THE DEPOT.

In various towns throughout the country, and
in the west in particular, there can be found n
the vicinity of depots, which are of the sort
which ought not to exist, signs which set forth
that the town is not responsible for the depot.
that it was built by the railroad company, Wills
the town was built by the people.
Such signs as these are fitting when a city or
town has outgrown the depot allowed II. and
where there is business done by the railroad
which is sufficient to give the place a more de-
cent and more attractive station, 1t is not nee
essary to go far afeld in North Carolina to fnd
instances where the railroads need a shaking
up in order to make them come across WIN :
depot worthy Of the patronage which is given.
There is a case in point right here in HaititI.
This city is going forward in a splendid manner.
and the old Union Station here IS not in keep
ing with the city of Raleigh. Neither does Il
measure up to the patronage which this ely
affords. With many trains from three rail-
roads using the station it does seem that We are
at a day when the attention Of the railroads
should be given to the matter Of providing fhe
travelling public in and out Of this city Win >
depot more in keeping with Raleigh and the
business done here.
That there must be a change of the pr"soh
depot at some not very distant date is a matter
which is certain. We trust that in the mean
time the railroads will be getting Themselves
in shape to give Raleigh a depot Of the worth
while kind. And besides this we feel that the
railroads which do business in this State should
of their own accord make a start upon a syste-
matte scheme of depot Improvement, 50 as t.
avoid the necessity for insistent pressure being
brought upon them by the people Of different
places for better station facilities. Any bus
ness which is serving the people should give 70
them accommodations commensurate with the
business done. Great business enterprises recog-
nize this and hence we see magnificent ana
handsomely equipped business buildings. The
railroads should take a lessen from such things
as these.

SELF WRECKED-A LESSON.

1t is a sad thing when a man throws away a
reputation which he has built up in the years.
1t is a sad thing for himself, for his family, for
his community. And when the man is one who
has been held in high honor by the State, has
been honored in the holding of positions which
made him one in whose counsels the State relied,
his fall from high estate comes with the greater
shock.
Until the startling disclosures which came
from Smithfeld there was hardly a young man
in the State who was held more largely in esteem
than Linville H. Alfred. His county of Johnston
had made him one Of it's Representatives in the
General Assembly, and in that body he had
attained such position as gave him warrant to
aspire to the office of Speaker Of the House.
His town of Smithfeld had made him it's mayor.
His home surroundings were such as to give the
impression of an unclouded family life. And
with all these things to inspire, the man failed
to meet the trusts reposed in him, and now the
grand jury Of his county has him under indict-
ment, true bills having been found for false
pretense, en- ezzlement, and forgery.
No unclean personal ha bits have been charged
against Alfred, it being said that extravagance
of living caused his downfall, that he lived be-
yond his means. That he had relatives and
friends who came TO his rescue and arranged to
raise the money TO make good his financial de-
faults does not lessen the weight of the charges
against him. That in his own family there must
be sacrlfces to meet the trusts in which he
failed is another sad feature. The fall of Lin
Vile II. Alfred, the wrecking Of his life because
he appropriated to his own uses money viii IN
had been entrusted to him, carries with it a
sharp lesson, that above all things a man must
be honest.
Alfred has left the State, some reports being
that he has gone West, others that he has gone
to South America. 1t is not known whether he
has the purpose to return. The criminal indict-
ments which have been found against him by
the grand jury of Johnston county will cause
efforts to be made to have him brought back
for trial, if his purpose has been to leave to
escape the consequences of his misdoings. The
fall OF the man is such a one as to bring sorrow
that opportunities so splendid should have heen
thrown away. But no sorrow can be such q 6 10
seek to palliate the wrong doings to which ha

TO FIGHT ABoRTIONISTS WITH
STATE INSTITUTION
A fight to put professional abor-
tionists out of business, drive incom-
petent midwives from the city and
prevent the slaughter Of babies and
their mothers through illegal opera
lions was started at a conference of
health officials in the Office of the
health commissioner yesterday.
An important suggestion provided
a state. institution where afflicted
girls could be taken care of in pri-
vacy. This would do away with the
private "sanitariums," which now are
said to care for the girls and get rid
of the babies.
A higher standard of education for
midwives, who are charged with
three-fourths of the city's abortions,
was advocated by the health men.
There is at present no training school
for these women in the state.
That little is heard of abortion
cases among the rich was the intima-
ton of Coroner Hoffman, who was
present at the meeting. The death
of a rich woman from an abortion
was described as "appendicitis" on
the death certificate. Hospitals often
take in wealthy women as 'appen-
dicitis patients when the true nature
of their affhction is known to the
physicians.
A murder charge is a result of the
careful watch put over abortions.
Mrs. Veronica Rypczenoski, midwife,
was blamed by the police for the
death of Mrs. Mary Balyznski, "a,
1912 S. Winchester av. She said
that she did not perform an opera
ton on Mrs. Balzynski, but provided
her with some tea which contained
medical properties.

Close to Four inches In Last TWO
Days 10 Measured In Keokuk \
and In This
Vicinity,
EFFECT GOOD
Some of the Farmers, However, Fear
That There May be Too Much
Moisture for Some
Things.

Close to four inches of rain has
fallen in this vicinity in the last Tor
weight hours. It rained again last
night, although nowhere near as haro
as it did the night previous. Rainy
weather Is predicted for tonight
again.
The effects OF the drought Of thu
past year seem in fair measure to DO
overcome The fear Is advanced nov
by some of the farmers that ther&
is a chance now OF getting too much
moisture. The gardeners say that the
strawberry crop cannot help but be
affected by the rains which have
been so heavy, and by the cold wealth
er which seems to have followed the
storm.
In the farm work. however, the
worst effect of the rain is to delay
outdoor work. However, it is figured
that the good effects OF all of this
moisture will help to make up for the
delays, and that the general result
on the crops cannot help but be very
satisfactory.
There has been an unusual amount
OF rain and cold weather this
month. The combination has not
been the best for flowers which are
showing the effect OF too much wind
and moisture. Pastures, however,
have had a big impetus with the
rain, and garden truck Is growing
well with the unusual amount or
moisture.
