THESE FARMERS ARE
DESTROYING STALKS
PLANS UNDER WAY TO GET RID
OF WEEVIL BEFORE FROST

Chairman S. G. Byrd of the county
commissioners is destroying the cot
ton stalks in his farm. His neighbor
Mr.. Jones is at the same occupation.
Both of them are using stalk cutters
and following this with ploWs that
are ripping out the stubbs.
These two farmers are determined
to get the weevil out before he goes
to winter quarters on their farms.
They have ncighbors who are soon
to follow because of the fact that the
weeyils on the farms that are cleaned
out may come and take up winter
quarters with them.
The cotton growers have only a
short time to get out the stalks.
These should be destroyed before
cold nights and it will mean the re-
moyal of the weevils before winter.
This will be "A great advantage in the

"SeIf-Appointed" Moses Who Hold
Up Goal Social Equality.

Raleigh, N. C.,-To allay distrust
and put an end to racial agitation and
and strife thirty-eight leading negro
educators in North Carolina today an
nounced a definite platform upon
which the negroes in the state NAV
stand in peace with the white race
and in line with the aspirations Of
their own race
The platform as announced conlc
through Dr.. e. c. Brooks state super
intendent of public instruction who
with N. c. Newbold, state agent of
negro rural schools, held an executive
conference with the negro leaders
last Friday in Raleigh
The platform as announced, con
dennis all Advocacy of social equality

and opposes any appeal to force to
cure injustices complained of
ANY individual or society in or
out of the state that advocates the in
termingling of the races on terms of
social equality and intermarriage of
races is doing great harm to the ne
gro for wherever this doctrine finds

ment of program adding further on:
Wherever injustice appears, there
is entirely too much said by self APP

who intimate that such an appeal
will in any way be beneficial are the
most dangerous enemies to all"

A Homeless Case.

A doctor came up to patient in a
lunatic asylum, slapped him on the
back, and said: "Well, old man,
you're all right. You can run along
and write your folk that you'll be
hack home in two weeks as good as
new"
The patient went off gaily to write
his letter. He had it finished and
sealed, but as he was about to affiX
the stamp the letter slipped through
his fingers to the floor, alighted on
the back of. cockroach that was
passing, and stuck. The patient hadn't
seen the cockroach. What he did see
was his escaped postage-stamp zig
Tagging aimlessly across the floor,
and following a crooked trail up the
wall and across the ceiling.
In depressed silence he tore up the
letter that he had just written and
dropped the pieces on the floor.
