CONTEMPLATING. A, CHANGER

Evidently the Senator from Cumber-
land, Hon. John A. Oates, who happens
to be chairman of the Senate Commit
tee on Education, grew FESTIVE last
week under tn proddinS of advocates
of change in the method Of selecting
members of county educational boards
and county school super;ntndents.
Senator Oates has been doing fine ser
vice, holding up local bills of the class
mentioned, until some decision might
be reachd touching State policy. The
gathering of the clans" failed to- ma
terialize, however, and the Senator de-
cfded to evolve a plan that has set
the tongues to wagging at both ends
of the capitol.
The bill proposed by Senator Oates
gives to all the counties, in 1918, the
power of electing one member of their
boards of education; provides that in
1920, all counties shall have the right
to nominate another member of the
board in party primary; and, in 1922,
the Democratic party In all the coun-
ties may nominate another member of
the board,-in each instance the can
didate so nominated to be declared the
legally qualified member by the gov
ernor of the State. Refernce to the
! first election 1918, would exclude re-
publicans from the primary and no
provision is made for more than one
member of the minority to have a
place on. the board at any time.
The proposed measure offered by
Senator Oates, is no less partisan
than is the present plan of electing
school boards in ninety-four, of the
one hundred counties. Better let wei
enough ialone. The demand for a
change comes from only a few, of tbs
Democratic counties, and these should
not be permitted to interfere with {
statewide system that has workef
mighty well for many, many years
| Just stand pat" on this, gentlmen
and large majority of the pople .
tbs State will be satisfied.

There is good deal of equal SUIT
frage" talk around Raleigh these days,
but little prospects Of opening the door
to the ladies anyways soon. Repre-
sentative Roberts, of Runcombe, has
secured a favorable report on his bill
permitting women to participate in
municipal elections and the Assembly
will have to pass upon the question.
This is only an entering wedge, ff the
bill happens to get through, which is
improbable. for the Senate appears to
be less favorable to extending the suf-
frage than the House does.

PRUNING HINTS.

Orchardists in North Carolina are
realizing that it does not pay to try to
produce fruit if the trees are not kept
for pruning, says Mr.. B. Szymoniak,
Extension Specialist in Fruit and
Truck Crops, are:
To train the tree to desired shape
and to facilitate spraying and harvet-
ng the fruit
To distribute the branches to admit
air and sunlight.
To regulate growth and fruitfulness.
To correct undesirable habits, of
growth
To cut out interfering branches.
To control insects and diseases.
How to Prune.
Use proper instruments for pruning
that is, use the pruning saw, prun-
ing knife, and pruning shears.
Cut close to the main branch; do
not leave a stub; do not bark the tree.
Prune regularly every year from the
time the tree is planted to the time the
tree becomes mature; train the, tree
while it IS young; do not pFaneSan old
tree too severely.
Cut out interfering branches. or
those that are injured, bruised or dis
eased. Look out for blight cankers,
bitter rot cankers. black rot cankers,
or any other infectious disease. Gut
these out and burn the branches.
Prune in the winter for vigor and in
the summer for diseases and, fruitful
ness.
Muscadine grapes should have been
pruned about the first of December.
Bunch grapes are pruned in Feb
ruary.
Apples, pears, peaches, and pluns
should be pruned in the fall, so that
they may be sprayed in. the spring for
scale insect before the buds open.
Regulate the growth of tree by
light winter and summer pruning. 1T
is better to pinch out a small, undcsir-
able twig in the summertime than to
cut out a large branch. 1t saves the
vitality Of the ree.-Extension Farm

COTTON MILL SITUATION.

There are no cotton mill barons
seeking entrance in Henderson coun-
ty. If Henderson county is favored
with a mill it will purely through the
efforts of the public spiritness and
faith of the citizens Of the county IN
such an enterprise.
When the cotton mill committee
suggested at the last meeting of the
board of trade that it was the opinion
of the committee that $4,000 should
be raised and a tract Of land pur-
chased before seeking any cotton mill
syndicate or groupe of capitalist to
enlist in the project.
If the citizens are not interested or
have faith enough in the merits OF q
cotton mill then assuredly it should
not be expected that an outsider
would come here and invest his thou
naIEds and stand a big risk of being
legislatured against Or receive hostile
encouragement of his enterprise.
Those who would invest in cot
ton mill must have faith enough in
the enterprise to allow number OF
the county's leading business men to
handle at least 10 per cent of their
subscription in buying site and go.
ing after the outside capital.
The committee gave out its plar
with the hope of some one suggesting
q better one; but since none othel
was mentioned and resolution ap'
proving the said plan then it is up tt
the people to work in harmony for :
cotton mill at once.
With over 100000 on deposits if
the two local banks and one count!
bank it looks that $4,000 could b.
raised in a short while. 1t woul'
take at least twelve months before al
the stock would be called for which
would releave a hardship upon an.
one.

PUTS ALL POSTMASTERS
ON CIVIL SERVICE LIST.

Washington, Jan. 26.-The National
legislative, executive and judicial bill
was passed today by the Senate, after
provisions had been written into it
placing all postmasters on the civil
service list. forbidding employees of
the Bureau of Education from recei7-
ing compensation from private educa-
tional foundations, and further in
creasing the pay of Government clerks.
The stipulation placing postmaster
ships of all classes under civil service
rules was adopted at the last moment
as an amendment to the section pro-
Viding for the salaries of certain Off
Gals of the Postoff1ce Department.
Several Senators predicted that dit
would be eliminated in conference with
the house.
Under the scael of salary increases
for Government clerks adopted by the
Senate, those receiving less than $3.50
annually would get raises of Is per
cent and those receiving between $3.50
and 81 600 raises of ten per cent.
About $1,000,000 was added to the
measure in the Senate, bringing the
total to approximately $4,000, 900.

WOULD IT PAY TO CUT IT OUTg

The New York Times looks over the
report of the internal revenue figures
and sees where many millions hum
dreds of millions of dollars are raised
each year by taxing wines and liquors
and then wonders if it would be wis
dom for the Nation to pass a national
prohibition law, thus deprlving the
treasury of this vast sum of gold.
That is the old story-the story
chewed up and discounted by every
city and every state in the dry col
umn.
We used to see the figures, even in
Greensboro, of how much money the
twelve saloons we had here paid into
the school fund The license was
something like $1,000 a year. 1t was
figured that each saloon not only paid
this high license but it employed men,
occupied a building-and to leave
empty building to decay and 90 to
pieces; to drive men out of business
and finally to take away from the
school fund the big license fee would
be bad business.
So impressive were the arguments
against prohibition; so terrible did it
seem to take the money used to edu,
cate children-that finally the good
people Of this town compromised on a
dispensary. In other words it was
wrong for the individual to sell whis-
key but perfectly alright for the mu-
nicipality to stain its hands. with the
blood money.
But it wasn't long until the good
people saw that wouldn'd do. Then
the revenues were lost sight of; men
with property said they could pay the
the tax-and presto! Greensboro was
among the first Of the big prohibition
towns
There were no decaying buildings.
Taxation wasn't made oppressive. The
! revenues to educate the children were
| forthcoming no one of us would
vote back the saloon. And so the
Question is the same on the nation
wide proposition. AcfeW hundred mil
] lions are nothing to Uncle Sam. If
national prohibition goes onfthe books
then Uncle Sam will get busy and a
fraction of cent from each consumer
/ will make up the loss. =
When we want to raise a hundred
million to keep up running expenses
we go at it and it is raised without any
one feeling it. When we wanted mon
ey to finance the Spanish war we put
on a war tax and the nation was forced
to take it off months before the time
expired. Too much money If it is a
moral question the people will get the
money all right. Because the figures
as a whole loom big-something like
four hundred million, many men think
to suddenly retire that much revenue
would bring about a great calamity
But we would never know it. The
dollar, however, always is seen and
oftentimes it side-tracks questions thai
should be Greensboro Every
thing.

IS THIS TRUEG
Married Men Are the Most Success
fuI. 49,

ful. 80.
Do you think you are saving money
and being successful by remaining a
bachelor? If you do, read The Janu-
airy American Magazine and see what
a, writer says about the ratio between
married and single men. Part of it
ISL -.
tShow me one middle-aged bachelor
who has made a success Of his life,
and I'll show you 26 married men who
have. Probably the ratio is even
greater than this but prefer to base
my contention on demonstrable fact.
OF the 81 presidents of the United
States only one lived and died a
bachelor. Nineteen of them married
before they were 40 and two after 40.
Yet, according to the census returns,
taking the entire population of the
country, the proportion Of single men
to those married, widowed or d.
vorced, is about 40 to co."

THOUSAND DOLLAR ROOSTER

Much newspaper space has been
given of late to variations of the egg

was more or less chagrin among hu-
man masculinity because of this ex-
pioitation of the female species,
and, to make bad matter worse, in
come sections of these United States,
DAYS were set apart for killing on
ROSTERS. 'FOff with his head; SO
much for Mr.. Rooster! was the cry,
and there we're no tears. But now,
thanks to the chicken show being held
in Pittsburgh this week, rooster is
the object of praise and admiration
and hens are pushed into the back
ground.
"Kokomo III is the name Of this
feathered male biped; he is 10 months
old, weighs II pounds, and most inn
portant of all, he is valued at $1,000.
A thousand dollars! What do you
think of that? Nearly 800 pound,
to say nothing about the value of his

f1cient excuse for Tapping his wings
