GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.

Chicago, May 18.-With cold and
weather prevailing, regarded as likely
to improve the conditions of the win
ter crop and the spring during the
early trading. Declines, however,
were checked by the fact that Liver
pool quotations showed relative firm
ness as compared with the setbacks
in prices here yesterday. Chicago re-
ceipts today totalled 40 carloads. De-
liveries on May contracts amounted
to 10000 bushels. The opening
which varied from IA lower to 1-2
advance, with May Las 1-2 and July
1877 to 1.27 IA was followed by u
slight upturn and then by a moderate
general decline.
Rains causing delay to planting Of
corn tended to steady the market for
corn and oats. After opening I'M
changed to Is higher, July 81 5-8.
the corn market hardened a trifle
more and then underwent u slight
sag.
Oats started Is off to a like ad-
vance, July 40 to 40 Is, then kept
close to the initial range.
Provisions were neglected but
steady in line with hog values.

DON'T MONKEY WITH
AN ELECTRIFIED CAT

Sailors are wont to spin weird
yarns about peculiar electric cats
found in the region of the Persian
gulf. An old-time salt solemnly
tells Of having been shocked severe
ly recently by such cat which escap-
ed from freighter. just over from
Muscat in the Persian gulf. He knew
it was an electric cat, he says, be-
cause the shock nearly knocked him
over when the animal brushed its
reddish-grecn fur against his leg,
He has been shocked before by such
cats in Muscat and Bussorah, exclu-
sively the natural habitat of these
animals, he AYERS. 1t never rains in
that region, the mariner explains,
and the dry atmosphere, combined
with a peculiar kind of food which
they find in the desert, causes the
animals to become charged with cleo
tricity. He assures us that he has
seen Bsdouins in the desert light
their pipes by brushing a dry spike of
grass the wrong way over the fur of
an electric cat The spark invaria-
bly, fires the grass but at the same
time the discharge is so powerful as
to throw a man off his feet unless he
knows just how to go about getting a
light.
Perhaps several grains of salt
should be taken with this colorful &C
count of the Muscat cat. However, it
has long been known that all cats
may become charged with electricity
under certain conditions and that the
electricity manifests itself in various
ways. Only a few weeks ago, it will
be recalled, the Pathfinder publish
ed specific directions which reader
for getting shock from
a felin dynamo. The writer more
than once has noted that when the
fur on a cats back is stroked vigor-
ously from the ears to the tail while
the animal rests with its body ex-
tended along his left forearm and
both hook joints touch the left hand,
electrical discharges can be distinct
ly felt by that hand when atmos-
pheric conditions are right, These
are net strong enough to knock a
man down" but they have sufficient
kick to be painful, altho they do not
seem to hurt the cat in the least

100000 Rats Killed In Texas Drives
Last Year.


Six hundred and seventy thousand
rats were killed in the determination
drives in Texas last y5ar. County
agents employed comparatively by the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture, State agricultural colleges, and
the counties promoted many of the
campaigns with the help of members
of local farm bureaus and chambers
of commerce and under the general
supervision of Biological Survey ro-
dent control specialists.
Some counties were divided into
zones and money was raised to be Civ
en- as prizes to men. boys and schools
killing the largest number of rats.
The county superintendent of schools
and school teachers assisted particu-
larly in stimulating the interest of
the pupils.
The most rats were killed in Den
ton County. The boy having the
greatest number to his credit killed
$4,000 in six weeks. In Williamson
County another boy killed 900 in
two weeks.
1t is estimated that the rats av-
eraged about, half pourS- each,
making about 1877 tons of rats killed
during the campaign. 1t is also es-
timated that each rat had ii liked a
year would on an average have eaten
or damaged property worth 81 max

HIGHER EDUCATION

Mr.. Editor: We know what we
are writing will not meet popular
applause, but that is not our object
in writing. We write to express our
own opinion. The world has gone
crazy over higher education at pub
lie expense. North Carolina is
spending too much on higher educa-
ton and not looking after those who
are really illiterate.
We believe that every child should
be given high school education at
public expense, but nothing more.
The town of Wilson which claims to
have the best schools and best sys-
tenn, leads all the towns in the state
as to illiteracy. There is something
wrong. We should quit being taxed
to support state colleges and devote
our money to our high schools and
stop trying to polish the few at the
expense of the many-quit paying
money to make a few lawyers, doc
tors, football players, baseball play
ers and sports, and lead in litter
acy. We are making things too
easy for certain pepole. We are
raising up a class to feel that the
world owes them a living whether
they work for it or not The world
owes every one "a living if they will
work for it.f The Bible says man
shall live By the sweat of his brow.
There are too many trying live by
the sweat of their tongue. We are

Charlie Fleming had endeared him

Since coming to manhood's estate,
he had been one of the buyers for
the great Imperial Tobacco Compa-
ny of whom his honored father, for
whom he was named, is branch man
ager, and from whom, it seems, by
heritage he caught his wonderful
knowledge of tobacco. He seemed
to be in perfect health up to about
seven months ago, but about that
time while in Georgia representing
his company, he was seized with an
illness from which he never fully re-
covered. Although on the Wilson

Mr.. Barbour is also a young man of
good education. He has been prac-

az boy he was able to pass the
fifth grade in the public schools by
using books with large print. He
attended the State School for the
Blind at Raleigh 1918 and has
his certificate in broommaking. He
feels that mattress making will mean
more to him in earning livelihood
than broom making.
