Rham VS. Sanford.

Rockingham played Sanford here this
Thursday afternoon, winning by score
of 80. Sanford scored two in the
third inning on two errors and hit.
In the seventh Rockingham scored on
doubles by Beard and Black, and single
by Sides and sacrifice by Atkinson. The
single of Sides brought in Black and
Beard, tying the score, and then he him
self tried to come in from third and in
the chase, trying to run him down, the
Sanford players claim he got out of run
ming ltne.
The Rockingham players deny this, as
serting the third run was clearly made,
and Umpire Nance ruled that it was safe.
Thereupon, the Sanford team refused to
continue play, though only two were out,
and so the game ended, according to the
umpires ruling, with the score 80.
But, as noted, the game is disputed, ard
according to Sanford the score should be
only %. AS to which contention is cor
rect, the Post.Dispatch is not at present
prepared to say.
Beard pitched for Rockingham and Bry-
son for Sanford.

BOARD OF EDUCATION
Mangum and Baldwin School Districts
to Consolidate. Harrington to Con-
soIidate with Rockingham School.

The County Board of Educa-
ton was in session last Monday,
present being w. N. Everett, Jr.,
chairman, ]. M. Dockery and
David Parsons and County Super
intendent L. ]. Bell.
A delegation was present from
Steele's township asking that the
Mangum and Baldwin school
districts be consolidated, and that
a new school be built midway
between. The Board agreed to
furnish all materials provided the
two disticts haul same and erect
the building according to State
specifications. And so the Man
gum-Baldwin districts are des-
tined to have a modern two.
teacher school.
A petition from the Harrington
school district to let them be con-
solidated with the Rockingham
city school, was granted. This
school is five miles north of Rock
ingham.

Scott Under Bond.

On June 18th Dave Webb, of
West Rockingham, while under
the influence of whiskey, was
badly cut and robbed. 1t was
feared at first that he would die.
A negro, Simon Scott, was ar
rested next day in Wolf Pit,
charged with the assault, and
lodged in Jail. Bond was denied
until it was sure Webb was out
of danger.
And so on last Saturday Scott
was allowed to give $1,000 bond

and he is now at liberty; the pre-
liminary hearing will be held Fri
day afternoon, July 10th, before
Squire Steele at A o'clock. Scott
asserts that Webb was drunk and
asleep in or under his wagon and
that when he tried to get it to go
home, Webb attacked him and
the cutting was in self-defense.
At any rate, the matter will be
aired tomorrow before Squire
Steele.

Powerful Ignorant or Nervy.

Turner Larken, a Haywood
county citizen, is either mighty
ignorant or wonderfully nervy.
Several weeks ago he shipped a
quantity of whiskey in a rubber
hot water bottle to a friend at
Badin, and not only plainly wrote
his name on the package to be
returned to him in case of non
delivery, but hadi insured. The
bottle leaked, the "cat was out of
the bag and government authori-
ties by means of the return adj
dress got hot on Larken's trail.
And Larken also had the nerve
to put in application for the in
surance! He is now under bond
for trial.

June 22nd, 1920.
People in England rise very
early. They have to in order to
polish all the leaves on the trees,
sand paper the roads and mani:
cure the cows.
But to begin where I left off
we sighted land about 4::30 Sun
day afternoon, June 10th, and the
British on board went quite wild
and we all grew excited and gay
and even sentimental over our
last night on the top deck with
nothing but our sins between us
and heaven. We had breakfast
Monday morning at $50 and
enjoyed a clear view of the
rugged, beautiful coast of Eng
land, with its white cliffs, curv-
ing bays and the many boats of
every kind yet invented that
thronged thelchannel.
We reached Southampton
about 10o'clocki after receiving
another welcome from an airship
which whirred above us and
dropped letters and flowers for
Mary Pickford and Douglass
Fairbanks. An immense crowd
was waiting on the dock and
thronged around Mary so that
a policeman had to pick her up
and carry her to a car, Douglass
trotting behind. Inside the dock
pandemonium reigned as every
one of the 2200 passengers tried
to find his or her baggage first;
our party was at last collected and
the party separated temporarily,
part going direct to London with
friends and Chas. and | climbing
into a hackney COACH to go
across the city to the Salisbury
station. Why do you suppose
an English ''hack" exposes the
passengers to all sorts of weather
while in front is an over-shad-
owing hood that keeps him from
seeing even the horse?
We stopped at a little tea room
and had a ''meat pie" about the
size of a saucer, a big slice Of
currant cake, a cup of good tea
for 19c; in New York it would
have been 85c at least.
The little toy trains are very
comfortable and very fast and l

to see out of both sides of the

 If the farmer stops producing he
 will suffer, of course, but the man ufaeturere and the merchant and the banker will suffer just as severely, and possibly more so And the farmer will not keep on producing adequately unless he receives fair compensation for his efforts-unless he can main tain his family in approximately the same degree of comfort that the city family enjoys. Every business man. of course, is interested in keeping the farmer on the farm and in having the farm operated to it's reasonable capac- ity, turning as much as possible into the channels of trade, manufa cture and transportation, and this means. of course, that every business man should be vital1y interested in seeing that the farmer gets fair treatment in the marketing of his products. In this connection, you may be interest ed to know that it recently became necessary for me to exercise the au- thority vested in the Secretary of Agriculture under the Food Control Law by declaring unfair aad discrim- 1 inatory certain rates charged by live stock commission men on cooperative shipments of live stock The organi- zation bringing complaint charged l that the difference between rates for single anad plural ownership cars was 1 made for the purpose of discouraging the cooperative marketing of live stock by farm organizations. Now, l the commission man is entitled to a l higher rate for selling a carload of | stock owned by several men than for | a carload owned by one man; but the l difference should be the cost of the
 additional weighing and accounting | required in the case of a, plural own. ership5 car. The evidence showed however, that this was not the case the amount of the charge being de- l termined not by the number of avn f CTS but by the number of live stock l in the car. Not only did it seem that | the method of determining the charge
 was unjust, but the increased charge
 1 for plural ownership cars over single
 1 ownership cars was, in the opinion of ] the Department, higher than could
 i be justified.

culture, and yet it produced more than one-third as much wealth as the
 80 percent engaged in manufacture. Last year agriculture produced in the New England states crops and live stock products valued at about one half a billion dollars, source of wealth and well being not to be neg lected. Though manufacturing is your principal industry, and though somepeopIe look upon the agriculture
 of New England as in a state of de- cline, I mention these facts to impress
 upon you the magnitude and import ance of agriculture as an industry in
 this section.
 Yet it is well for you to bear in
 mind, when you think of the wonder
 full industrial and commercial devel- states, that west of you lies an em-
 pire which surpasses in area, in pop
 ulation, in natural resources, and in 1.-the annual creation of wealth, any ~thing that the great induslrraf cenIers
 of the East can show. New England must draw upon the agricultural pro-
 ducts of those regions to sustain it's wonderful manufacturing industries.
 To provide the population of New
 England with sufficient wheat, on the
 basis of the normal average per cap ita consumption of 1-3 bushels, would require about 40 million bush in 1919 only about 5OO,OOO bushels, barely sufficient to feed it's popula- tion for a single week. For the other 51 weeks of the year New England necessarily must rely upon a steady flow of wheat and flour from the states of surplus production
 Developing American Dyes
 When the importation of chemicals
 from Germany was stopped by the
 war, a shortage of. phthalic anhydride developed in this country almost inn
 mediately. This product, which is us ed in the manufacture of number of important dyes and drugs, had previously been produced only in Ger many and Austria. Attempts were
 made by manufacturers in this coun- try to use the German process, but fl was found to be costly and difficult to handle.
 ExDerients then were conducted in the Color Laboratory of the Bureau | of Chemistry to devise a new process in which air instead of mercury and
 sulphuric acid, which the German had used. could be employed. A sue cessful method, was found, and the Bureau of Chemistry co-operated l with manufacturers in placing the

It was said the for mer German agents probably would be set at liberty during the day
 The two German plotters were brought to the prison in the summer of 1918 to serve sentences of five years each for violating the neutral ity of the United States. They were convicted of setting up a plot on U. s. soil to overthrow British rule in India with the object of weakening Great Britaiu's efforts in the world war.
 The two prisoners became eligible for parole several months ago but after hearing before the parole board their applications were not granted. Representations~we made to Wash ington recently by the Swiss govern ment in behalf of the former German officials and two weeks ago their cases were brought again before the parole board.

MEREDITH TELLS { OF AGRICULTU
 IN NEW ENGLAND

am genuinely glad of this oppor- ftunity to meet representative business men of New England and to talk to | you about the largest industry in the tworld-the industry of agriculture. bTOo many business men, am afraid Ehave failed to- appreciate fully the tpendence upon it. This has resulted, Fin many instances, in hack of sympa-
 thetic understanding of the farmers 8 fproblems and of the difficulties con- tfronting him not only in producing his crops or live stock, but also in the 1 marketing of his products. Agricu1- ture furnishes the basis of much of
 the business of the country. There are many industries which are entire ly dependent upon it, such as the man ufacturer of farm implements and machinery, the packing houses, the l grain merchants. and many others, { and farm products, of course, play a
 large part in transportation. Neither
 the business man nor the farmer,
 therefore, can be genuinely and per-
 nanently prosperous without the good l will and the material aid of the other. Whenever a business man does any | thtng toward making the agriculture
 or his section more profitable to the
 Iarmers. he does something which will help his own business, because there
 is not in the United States any busi-
 ness cehter that could continue to
 prosper independently of the farming communities surrounding it.
 Vitally Affects New England
 In order to bring home to you the
 importance of this great industry, let
 me remind you of some of the ways in which agriculture vita1ly affects ! New England. This section naturally
 and properly is manufacturing re- J zion. Your industrial output by the
 census of 1914 was worth more than 1 one and one-quarter billion dollars. But that output was produced by 80
 percent of your population. A little less than IT percent of the population
