No Trouble To Get Acreage

Agriculturist Joseph Loynd. for the
American Beet Sugar company, in the
past two weeks has secured contracts for
$500 ceres in the Fowler territory, as
against 500 acres at the same time last
year. 1t is not question of hunting for
signers and inducing them to contraction
certain acreage this season. The
ranohers are ready and waiting for the
agrioulturist. Mr.. Loynd expects to con-
tract 4.5oo acres in Fowler district.
Several arguments contribute to the de-
sire of the farmers for contracting. chief
among which is that bsets brought better
prices during the past two seasons. and
there is not the same risk Of damage by
grasshoppers with the beet crop that
there is with other crops.-Fowler Trib-

AN IMPRESSIVE SIGHT.

West Raleigh, N. c., Aug. 29.-The
three hundred and fifty-four young
men members of the Agricultural
Clubs which are conducted by the Ex-
tension Service, are indeed an impress
sive sight, as they go about their
duties at the college. The number on
attendance at the school for the club
members shows a material increase
over last year, and not only is there an
increase in numbers. but it seem as
if the agents in charge of the agricul-
tural work in the various counties
have succeeded in interesting some of
their finest young men in the work.
The boys have all been divided into
sections and assigned to lectures and
demonstrations at different hours, SO
that the instruction may be more
thorough. Prof. T. E. Browne makes
the assignments each morning, so that
there may be no confusion. The
morning hours are devoted to lectures
and the afternoons to practical demon
STATIONS and visits to points of inter
est On the college farm and campus.
Later in the afternoon the boys a
an opportunity for athletic sports on
Riddick Field, followed by a swim in
the pool of the Y. M. C.. A. gymnasium.
Wke County leads in the enroll
ment, with a total of "a registered for
rooms and with daily visitors from
points in the county. Of the counties
away from the college, Stanley leads
with an enrolment Of %; Green
comes next with 20; and Nash follows
with 10.
College rules are being followed
closely. and the boys are required to
observe regular hours as if they were
regularly enrolled as students. The
evenings are passed pleasurably and
profitably by the aid Of illustrated lee
lures and moving picture shows, in
which some valuable views are shown.
Several of the slides have been made
from pictures taken at different points
in North Carolina, and have been Of
great interest to the visitors.

~vAGUE AND PERFUNCTORY."

The New York Evening Post, which
is cordially disposed to Mr.. Hughes or
which at least, is trying sedulously to,
do him full justice. observes that his
references to the protective tariff con-
tinue to be vague and perfunctory."
Worse than that, however:
"The Republican candidates talks as
if this were the campaign of 1888. He
quietly takes the fetch view of protec-
ton. Its workings are mysterious,
but in it alone lies our national saliva
ton. The truth appears to be that
this is a question into which Mr..
Hughes has never looked with care,
and that he simply assumes the ortho-
dox high protection position in which
he was politically bred. He seems OBJ
livi has Of all that has happened since
1996-forgets the changed attitude OF
Mckinley himself; ignores the rupture
which the high tariff caused in the
Republican party in 1909; overloQks
the Winona speech of Taft and its dis
astrous consequences; puts. aside the
whole question of scientific tariff
making by the aid of an expert com
mission, which has come to the front
in recent years. and merely falls back
on the antiquated conception OF a
miracle-working protection"
The tariff is n It the only subject on
which Mr.. Hughes is vague n per
functory." On all the uppermost
questions in the campaign he talks like
ga one hundred per cent candidate

himself-and a two per cent states
man. He pleads in -generalities for
national preparedness but does N ot say

paredness measures which the Wilson
administration already has enacted.
He vaguely criticizes the Presidents
Mexican policy and European policy
but fails to point out the course winch
he himself would have ken or would
pursue in the future. He cavlls ana
bubbles over everything which has
come to mass under Democratic man
agement. but of constructive policies
and ideas his candidacy is wholly bar

BELGIUMs QUEEN A WORKER.

Carmen Sylvia was not the only
queen capable of earning her own liv-
ing if necessity drove her to such a
course. The queen of the Belgians
has taken a medical degree at Leip-
zig, and prior to her marriage assisted
her father, Duke Charles Theodore of
Bavaria. in his practice as an oculist.
She is. however. a skilled motor driv-
er, and in the days before the war,
used to make a point of doing all the
minor repairs to her cars. Another
versatile sovereign is Queen Maud of
Norway, who paints admirably, trims
hats in a style that would insure her
a good salarw firm any high class mil
liner, and is a bookbinder of more than
average skill.-London Chronicle.

O'CONNELL AND THE WITNESS.
Sample of the Great Irishman's IntUi-
ton and QuiCknesS of Per.
centiOn.

Daniel O'ConneH, in his career at
the bar, says Judge Parry in the Corn
hill Magazine, was rightly acclaimed
by the people as The Counsellor" He
remained a stiff gownsman to the end,
he never asked for silk. and refused
the judgeship offered to him. No gov
eminent ennobled him. He had two
titles, but they were given him by his
fellow men. In the greater world OF
politics he was 1.-The LiberatOr;" il
his own demesne on the Munster cir
cult and among the peasantry OF the
West he was 1.-THE Counsellor"
Of the Counselor's intuition and
~quickness of perception in guessing
the secret in a lying witness heart
many stories are told. He certainly
had a very intimate knowledge of the
thoughts and feelings of the lower
classes. but in the following story it is
difficult to believe that he had not re-
celved some inkling of the real truth
before he went into court. The story
Is told, however, as an example of his
marvellous power of insight, and is in
any case curious e hid of humor,
YlllIany and superStitutiOn.
1t was a will case, and the validity
OF the will was in dispute. The wit
nesses for the defense all swore that
the testator had signed the will while
life was in him" Other counsel had
cross-examined the witness, and the
last witness was handed over to O'Con-
nell. He, too swore by the same
phrase that "life was in the testator
when the will was signed"
BY virtue of your oath, was he

BY virtue of my oath life was in
him."

MARRIES THE WIDOW OF
HIS TWO ELDER BROTHERS.

Carthage, Miss, Aug. 30.-FolloWing
the Injunction laid down in the old law
of Moses, the third brother Of the
family of a fast fading TRIBE of Choc-
taw Indians, in Lake county, has mar
ried the widow Of his two older broth
ers.
Several years ago the eldest brother
married and lived with his bride but a
short time, when he died. The second
brother then married the woman At
ter eighteen months he, too. passed
away. The widow was taken into-the
home of the youngest brother as his
wife and they are living together hap

men, who far exceed the women for
numbers. to select a wife not in some
way related to him.
