Crowds Throng Efird Store In
Wilmington

1t was matter of wrapping goods
and receiving the money rather
than making sales at the opening OF
the Wilmington store of the Efrd
chain yesterday. The sales made
themselves. especially on the second
floor where ready-to-wear apparel
for women is sold. and the receipts
for the day by far exceeded the ex.
pectations of the Efird officials pres
ent for the opening OF the largest
and prettiest store in the chain OF 81.
Four times during the day II was
found necessary to lock all doors to
prevent additional customers from
entering the establishment. II was a
mass OF humanity on both the first
and second floors. and to get little
space, the doors were kept locked
each time for a period of thirty
minutes. When the closing hour. six
o'clock, arrived. hundreds of patrons
were In the store and II was easily
an hour later before officials and
salespeople could leave for their eve.

continuing their fight on native fish,
Theirs is one Teutonic campaign that

local fishermen. They were intro

dams gave way and the hardy for

its tributaries. Carp weighing from
FIVE to twenty-five pounds throng the
upper reaches of the river and
scourge the less aggressive fish in the
creeks.
Local fishermen have declared wal
on their own account. The carp de-
stroys the roe of other species. and
native fish are growing fewer In the
opinion of the commercial fishermen
here the carp is absolutely good for
nothing" Its meat is not good, and
processing to remove the oil does not
render the flesh palatable. Rflemen
accounted for a numer of Huns

hunted the big fish through the bushes
and found sport In pot-shooting them.

Some Thoughts on Town Politics

To the Editor of The Journal
Consistency, thou art jewell" It's
amusing, to say the least. to notice
the inconsistency of human nature
70 illustrate: In the past vote for and
against high school bonds, there were
certain folks who ridiculed one oil
our citizens because of his opposition
to school bonds. This good man was
target for number OF unkind criti-
esms He was called narrow-mind-
ed, illiterate, close listed and so forth.
But later. in the recent campaign for
aldermen, these same parties who rid
iculed this citizen Immediately chang
ed their attitude. This man of mar
row mind had broadened out; he was
lauded as iar-seeing, economical
conservative man, in fact, the only
one fitted for alderman.
1t makes such difference of view
point when we have an axe to grind.
The writer has not the least i'll will
toward these people, but to one who
Lives by the side of the road" 1t is
amusing. And as we are all Just
folks" we shouldn't harbor any ill
will because of these inconsistencies.
Speaking of the recent town cleo.
ton, il seems TO me that we should
learn to be more tactful. We should
remember that this Is a free country.
To quote part of Ebert Hubbard's
creed II pray that may never med

SING SING Is NOT SO BAD

more like human beings. They all
seem cheerful. they are not COMPEL
ed to have their heads shaved. or to
wear stripes. and they can furnish
and decorate their cells to suit their
own fancies. They have their peri
DDS of reereations, and their games,
such as baseball. etc; have their own
motion picture theatre. publish their
own prison newspaper. and have
many other means of diversion.
In his new production. Mr.. Meighan

BROOM TO INTRODUCE
new VARIETY OF PEAS
One of Them L. the ''Brabham,"
Which Retains Its Leaves Until
After the Peas Are Ripe.
THERE Is NO HOPE FOR COTTON
by 4. J. W. BROOM.
County Farm Demonstrators.

Y
Severe injury to the peach crop
throughout the state was general with
the exception of the sand hill region
where little or no injury is reported.
The crop in Union county Is almost
total loss with the exception. per
haps OF a few localities
Farmers are advised by the extern
sion service to make careful inspec-
ton of their trees, and where tht
crop is practically total loss, TO re
prune the trees severely. IL is the
tendency OF the peach tree TO develop
its fruitng wood further from the
trunk each year. forming top heavy
growth not consistent with the
strength Of the tree and economical
handling. "Dehorn" old trees t.
cause them to produce vigorous new
top and vigorous growth with an
abundance of fruit buds for next
years crop.
Remarkable results have been Sc
cured from severe pruning OF peach
trees following crop injury. 1t Is es.
pecially important with old peach
trees that they be ''dehorned" severe
ly. The main branches can be cut
back TO stubs two to three feet In
length with splendid results Trees
FIVE To eight years Of age can be cut
back into three year old wood with
profit. Experiments OF the division
of horticulture show that peach trees
can be dehorned as late as May with
satisfactory results
Trees that are severely pruned OF
dehorned should receive both cultiva-
ton and fertilization this season to
assist them In producing vigorous
growth. An application of half to
one and one-half pounds of nitrate
of soda is advisable.
Mr.. A. w. Mclean, OF this state
who is connected with the war finance
board. was quoted In papers as say
ing that the outlook for cotton is not
good that European mills are refus-
ing to accept credit that would enable
them TO purchase American cotton
even credit for twelve months
claiming they see no way OF disposins
of the goods after they are manufac-
tured. This being so, II behooves
every farmer in Union county to make
provision this year for sufficiency
of food and feed crops. and produce
his cotton with as little outlay OF
cash and credit as possible.
To introduce them throughout the
county. we have ordered sixty bush
els OF Brabham and Croft peas. The
Brabham Is a tall and erect growing
pea, retaining its leaves until after
the peas are ripe. which makes II very
valuable as hay pea. The Croft Is a
bush pea and one of the heaviest
yielders of seed of the pea family
and II is also valuable for hay. II
you want to try out these peas see
