New Telephone Line.

Mr.. J. w. Barnhill has just COM
pleted his telephone line, beginning
at Dawsons Cross Roads and run
ming by Mr.. Balfour Dunn's farm
following theEcounty road to Scot
land Neck. At present there are
four telephones on the new line,
but doubtless others will be added
soon. The line is seven miles long
with two mile extension by Mr..
J. G. Moore, beginning at Whites
Cross Roads and running to the
home of Mr.. Moore.
This line will be of the greatest
benefit and convenience to the peo-
pie Of the territory through which
it runs. 1t has long been mystery
why these good people did not
build them line, and Mr.. Barn
hill has rendered his neighbors and
friends a great service by giving
them this service.
The new line lis connected with

Follows and Nominates Ticket.
INTENSE PARTIZANRY AT FEVER HEAT.

all would have been we'll, but from
the advocacy Of the highest princi-
pies that should pervade the con-
vention he swooped down from his
high pedestal, reviewed his associa-
tions with Democratic Primaries in
Kentucky and Virginia, stating the
Democratic primary proceedings
and methods of vote casting. After
warming up a little he plunged
with all his ministerial eloquence e
into TRADE against one side whom
he said came to the convention to
ram down the throats Of the voters
Il block" ticket Of four men.
Following this imputation Of the
Minister that there were men in the
hall within the carrying of his voice
that could be muzzled with any tick
ct, Mr. A. P. Kitchin arose and re-
peated his remarks with a short
eulogy on the working people in tn e
hall declaring that the minister S
imputation was unjust, uncalled for.
and warranted his defense of the
people against such imputations Of
weak knes sdness.
1t was at this juncture that the
convention was almost stampeded
aud that the chair ruled that there
could be counted only one ticket
and that cne with the six names ap-
pearing on it. Here pandemonium
broke aloose. Men became wild and
indignant at such a ruling. It was
entirely clear that the bulk of those
present were bitterly oppose to a
ruling of this kind. Above the din
of the pysterical crowd motion for
adjournment was heard by the
chair. After putting this motion be-
fore the house and when house full
of voices cried at the top Of their
voices for adjournment, the chair
man declared the meeting adjourn
ed and left the hall.
Mr.. J. Harper Alexander and
Ashby Dunn then jumped to the
rostrum and called another meeting
to order. Tney elected Mr.. L. M.
Pittman chairman. Business in
this convention was taken up and
the following men were the choice of
the rump convention: N B. Josey,
r. M. Johnson, N. E. Winslow, and
Henry T. Clark. The following
composed their executive commit
tee: A. L. Purrington, Chairman,

Poached Eggs.

There are two ways Of poaching
eggs. The French woman makes
sure that they are perfectly fresh
and puts three quarts Of boiling
water into a shallow pan, adding to
each one tablespoonful @ vinegar
and one teaspoonful Of salt. Three
or four eggs are broken into tnis
just where it is boiling and gently
turned with a skinner SO that each
may take an elongated shape. AS
soon as the eggs are firm enough TO
be taken out with the skinner they
are put into cold water. Before
serving they are put for few min
utes again into hot water.
In England and America the fol-
lowing recipe is used:-Have three
quarts of boiling water in a shallow
pan; salt it slightly and a few min
utes before the eggs are wanted
drop in three or four; do not allow
the water to boil any longer and
leave the eggs in it about three min
utes, until the white is firm; then
take them out, trim, and serve them
on pieces of toast cut into rounds.

N. B. Stevens, County Agent.

Under the auspices of farmers.
Cooperative Demonstrative Work,
a farmers, meeting was held at
Crowell's School House on Wednes-
day night April, 20th, 1918. There
were twenty-five farmers present

Of interest in the meeting. All

ing and showed that they were
ready to diversity their farming and
raise more home supplies and live
stock.
Mr.. r. ". Freeman, the district
agent in farmers Cooperative Dem
onstratlon Work, was present and
made valuable and interesting
talk on Legumes as a soil imDrover
and Corn growing. Mr.. Freeman
very plainly brought out the value
Of good cultivation in growing corn
and the necessity Of adding vegita-
ton to the soil From the intelli-
gent question asked, one could very
readily see that the farmers in that
community were ready to adapt
better methods Of farming.
n. 3. Stevens, the county agent,
located in Scotland Neck, was also
present and explained the work that
the county agent We're doing. And
the atempt that was being made in
the county to eradicate the disaster
GUS disease Hog-Cholera. AS a re-
suit of this meeting four farmers
are going to have their hogs treated
and several are going to cooperrte
with the county agent IN corn grow
ing. Several will start permenant

EO0lsIlIne Whiskey 81 a Gallon.

Kinston, n. c., April PAN oon
shine whiskey in this section is SELL
ing at 81 gallon. The activities of
the prohibitionists, federal officers
and local authorities have driven the
price up until it is regarded as ex-
tortionate by the local consumers.
A. Bonum, a white man living on
the opposite side of Neuse river from
the city, told the sheriff that.
Two policemen, who, night be-
fore last, watched buggy wend its
way through South Kinston and on
south from the city watched the
same buggy upon its return some
hours later. They held it up and
secured a gallon of corn whiskey.
The repository for the whiskey was
discovered to be Bonum's house.
There we've five gallons more of il
there. Bonum gave bond. Anoth-
er white man was detained, but af-
terwards released because no case
could be made out against him
Bonum told the sheriff a coherent
story about how crowd" hao

when the authorities would certain
ly succeed in breaking up the block

northern part of Jones county 70

The whiskey cost the unprecedent
edly high price of 81 quart. Their
were six moonshine stills IN Lenol
