North Carolina only few years ago

in a dreadfully poor year it sticks
close to 20. UnQuestionably, the
North Carolina farmer has pro-

Agronomists insist that North
Carolina corn lands are easily cap
able of producing closer to so than
to 20 bushels per acre, SO that agri-
cultural progress in that particular
crop has hardly more than begun.
Still. it has begun, and has conti-
ued through 10 years or more. The
important thing is not the stage that
agriculture in North Carolina has
reached, but the tendency it main
tains. Even the poor crop OF this
year shows that that tendency is
consistently toward improvement,
and as long as that is the case it is
foolish to lament over the Temporal
ry setbacks that occur now and then.
Nobody can deny that the farmers
Of this state are in worse shape this

HOUSE RENT TOO HIGH.

House rent as a rule in this city
is too high, especially among those
who have to exist on small weekly
wages. While their wages have
been reduced, the rents as rule re-
main as htey were prior to the war.
The man who is making around
$3.50 per day or $500 per week,
finds it very difficult to pay $500 per
week rent and with the balance pay
for his provisions and buy his furni-
ture on the installment plan and,
the clothing necessary for his fam
lily.
Those who are renting houses of
this character, as we'll as any who
are charging high rents should take
these matters into consideration.

PARIS HAS HOT WEATHER TOO,

Paris. July 10.-This has been the
hottest day Paris has had in forty.
two years. AT 8 o'clock this afternoon
the temperature was 80 degrees fab
renheit. and an hour later it had
dropped to only go degrees. 1t was
80 at 9 this morning. The coolest
hour in the past twenty-four was at
this morning, with So degrees.
Such temperatures are high above
the normal for Paris and there has
been much suffering. The heat has
completely stopped the regular Sun
day parade along the boulevards and
sent Parishians in immense crowds to
the seashore, the country and to the

mated. half a million men, women
and children were lying about on

ENGLAND SUFFERING
FROM A DROUGHT.


London, July 11.-England is pass
ing not only through the hottest
weather experienced in years, but
also through a drought which has
lasted almost two months. Crops are
being damaged, and the water supply
is down to it's lowest ebb.
In some places water is sold for a
penny a bucket. At Curraboy a large
lake has been rednced to the size of
a small pond.
From Ireland comes word that the
River Shannon is so dried up that it
is possible to walk across the river
bed.
Farm fires are frequent because of
the suns heat. The leaves in Hyde
Park are dead as if it were Autumn.
Farmers in one agricultural dis
trict yesterday tried to induce rain
by sending a great explosive rocket
toward the clouds, but without sue
cess.
The reserve water supply can only
last twenty-three days, and the Gov
ernment is urging the people to use
it sparing1y.

THE IRISH OPPORTUNITY

When Mr.. de Valera was asked by
the correspondents if he anticipated
any difficulty from Irish "irreconcil-
ables," he replied, dfplomatically.
that he was not sure that he knew
what the term meant. But if Ire
land can furnish no specimens, the
United States can. Already we have
heard from Judge Cohalan and a few
others. They are distressed at the
thought of peace between Ireland
and England. That would leave
them, Othello-like, with occupation
gone. Accordingly, they come for
ward with insinuations that Mr.. de
valera is planning to betray the
Irish cause, or at least to allow
himself to be tricked by Lloyd
George. But this is exceptional. we
are glad to note. The most weighty
Irish-American opinion is in favor
OF keeping quiet at this juncture
and of allowing settlement to he
reached, if possible, undisturbed by
and angry Irish voices
from this side of the Atlantic.
The terms of the military truce
and the tenor of de Valera's letter
accepting the British Prime Minis
ter's invitation to a conference are
such as to encourage high hope. One
thing is evident. The Sinn Fein lead
ers are prepared to drop, temporarily
at least, the demand for British re-
cogn1tion of an absolutely independ-
ent ireland. Otherwise, it would he
waste of time to confer at all. Cen
erai Smuts must have conveyed to
Dublin the firm purpose of the Brit
ism Government, supported in this.
as 1t would be, by all the Dominions
not to permit Ireland to take herself
out OF the empire. Within the en-
pre- sne may ask for almost unlimit-
ed self-government. AS Lord Derby
warned his countrymen on Saturday.
tney must be ready to make great
sacrifices in order to conci1ia+o
ireland and bring about a peace that
snaII endure. Among these sacrifices
would probably be fiscal control in
ireland, with the whole right to levy
contributions toward paw
ment OF the public debt. To give up
certain amount of revenue from Ire
land would obviously be money in
England's pocket, if the alternative
were military rule and inextinguish-l
able hostility. On these matters of
nnance, as on the entire question of
the relations of the South of Ireland
60 Ulster, there is ample room for
debate and for concessions in the !
momentous coming face to face this

WILSON PLAYING
GOOD BASEBALL.

There isn't fan in Wilson who
isn't proud of our baseball team and
the wonderful showing it has made
to date. Starting with a team badly
out of the running for the first eigh-
teen games of the season the boys
have frightened their defense and
strengthened their offense and as a
result we have a team that is to be
reckoned with whenever it appears on
the field. Every man composing the
squad is in there hustling every day
and is giving the very best he has
in him, and as a result we have been
winning games. One of the things
to be proud of is that we have a team
composed of gentlemanly players,
whose conduct on and off the field is
above reproach. The team works to-
gether as a unit and there isn't the
petty jealously and personal enmity
Edsually found on professional ball
,rclpbs. Altogether we have an aggre-
agatf0n to be proud of and one that
observes the loyal support and inter-
lest of everybody in Wilson.
Recently the attendance at the
games has been somewhat smaller
than we are accustomed to, and this
may be due to a combination of cir
cumstances. OF course the farmers
are busy at this season of the year
and cannot leave their work to at
tend games. Again, many people are
on their vacations just now and as a
result even the home patronage is
smaller than usual. On the other
hand no person can spend a more
profitable hour than by going to the
ball park. and watching the team
work. There is a relaxation and a rest
about watching a good game of base
ball that does not characterize any
other form of sport, and the editor
would recommend this as a panacea
for many ills that often strike a COM
munity as well as an Individual The |
team deserves every particle of sup
port and interest that can be given it, |
and the one giving the support is in |
turn benefited by coming back to his
work with mind that has been rest
ed and an interest that has been
aroused in something that is our very
own, and a thing that the town
should be proud of.
From the purely business view
point winning baseball team is a /
good thing for any community. The
amount of advertising gained could
mot be duplicated with ten times the
amount of money spent through any
other channel. In addition the fact
that there is for the time being a
community wide interest for all to
share in, where factional differences
are forgotten, and where all present
are pulling for the home team to win.
provides an event of real worth in the
life of the town. Let's get in there
and help the home team win by add
ing our presence to every game play
ed when it is possible for us to be
there. 1t aids the person who goes
and encourages team that has made
