TO DISCUSS BETTER FEED.
ING OF DAIRY CATTLE
With Proper Support We Can
Get Potato Show Here for
Next Year. Farmers Urged
To Attend.

A farmers meeting, which every,
farmer in the Mason district should
attend, will be held at the Town Hall
at Mason on Friday, Feb. 10th, ac-
cording to word received from Coun-
ty Agricultural Agent v. E. Bru-
baker this week. This meeting is
to DE very important. one and every
farmer Of the district should make
it point to attend.
One of the principal subjects to
be discussed will be Better Feeding
of Dairy Cattle" An expert in
dairy feeding will be present to dis
.cuss with the farmers how to feed
to increase milk production. 1t
should be remembered that the care
and feed of dairy cattle is the prime
factor in getting results from your
herd
Instead of complaining about tests
and poor milk supply, try to find the
remedy for it. The cow will give
you results if properly taken care of,
and one of the objects of this meeting
is to discuss with the farmers how
to make more money out of your
cows.
There is something to learn in
farming at all times, and it is a,
science that ranks among the highest
in Importance. Bring your ideas
with you and exchange ideas with
your neighbors and come to the meet
ing and learn how experts can help
you improve your herd.
There is another matter to be
taken up at this meeting and that
lis the prospect of getting a Cour%y
Potato show at Mason this year. We
can do it if we will give the proper
support. Every farmer should boost
for this and help it along. There
are some very good potato growers
in the Mason district, our soil is
very favorable, and we want the
show in order to be able to show to
Others what we are doing.
Make it a point to come to the
meeting regardless Of weather con-
ditinos. We have one of the best
districts in the country, we have the
right spirit among the farmers, and
we know this meeting can be made
a great success. 1t will be profit
liable to attend.

EMPLOYERS LIABILITY.


An interesting case was non-sulted
at the Iredell term of court by Judge
Bis Ray, which involved a damage
suit to recover $4,000 from the
Mooresville cotton mills. on account
of the killing of J. p. Rinehardt. en-
ployed as a weaver in the mill by
Hoyt Mercer, another employee OF
the mill.
The court dismissed the case on
the ground that Mercer was not an
employee of the mill at the time OF
the shooting which occurred outside
Of the mill.
If it should be established that an
employer is responsible for the death
of an employee at the hands of anoth-
Ter employee, the liability of an in
dustry would be greatly increased.
Already an industry is responsible
where it can be shown that an en-
ployer is guilty of contributory neg
ligence.

CLEARED OF TAKING GOODS


James Gale, a negro, who was
tried in the Superior court this morn
ing for robbing the express company
of goods was acquitted.
A trunk containing clothing and
other articles which had been in the
possession of the express company in
transit were shown in court, and en-
ployees OF the company testified
that the goods were found in the
house of a negro named Perry who
has already been convicted as being
an accessory to the crime. Gale was
charged also with being connected
with taking the goods, and way bill
was presented which Attorney F. D.
Swindell who represented the negro
insisted should not be admitted as
evidence, as it was not conclusive
proof that these were the goods as
represented by the way bills. After
some argument over the matter be-
tween Mr.. Swindell and Solicitor
Allssbrook Judge Horton said that
the record would establish what con-
nection the way bill had with the
case. The jury failed to find Gale
guilty.

THE MARCH OF SCIENCE.

It is now possible to link up col
leges and institutions, and private
homes for that matter, with radio and
telegraph mechanism that will, with
the aid of amplifiers, transmit the
sound of speeches, sermons and
music a distance of hundreds, even
thousands of miles, and enable these
to be heard as clearly as if one is in
the hall where the actual happenings
occur.
We understand that the manage
ment of the Country Club proposes
to make an arrangement whereby
dances may be held at the club, the
music to be furnished by orchestras
in the large cities, such as Washing
ton and New York.
This is all very wonderful and the
world is moving rapidly along the
lines of achievement and discovery.
During the burial of the unknown
soldier" in Washington recently,
with the aid of amp1ifiers the speech
of the President and every part of
the ceremony could not only be heard
by the thousands of people who could
not find seats in the auditorium, but
the people in San Francisco thou
sands of miles away also heard the
exercises very clearly.

nL1TERACY AMONG OUR PEOPLE


When we saw the figures accord
ing to the census regarding the illit-
eracy in the city of Wilson we were
inclined to question it since Wilson
has had for more than generation
good schools for both races, and for
a number of years we have had COM
pulsory legislation in the county, and
it has probably been enforced more
strenuously in this city and in this
county than in any other section of
the state.
Yet according to the census recent
ly published there are 1,241 people
out of population of nearly 11,oON
who cannot read and write. This is
too large a percentage, for it repre-
sents more than ten per cent of the
population of the city.
The Weekly Times was established
in 1896 While soliciting subscrip-
tions for that publication, we mar
veled at the number of people We
ran across who stated they could
neither read nor write. That was
twenty-six years ago this February.
Since then a tremendous effort has
been made in this city and county to
educate the people, and the education
of our people has been proceeding,
we were of the opinion, quite as rap
idly if not more so than in any city
and county in the state.

LOMBARDI LTD

About ten weeks ago, adopting the
new policy of sending first class COM
panies south, Mr.. Morosco booked his
highly successful play, lombard
Ltd. for tour through this section.
How successful this venture was. was
proven when this company retracing
it's itinerary was greeted everywhere
with packed houses. Last night was
no exception. Wilson knew a good
thing and turned out with bells on
to welcome Leo Corril1o, and, judg
ing from the remarks made by the
audience in leaving, the play would
draw a full house should it return
here again.
We ana1yzed the play when it was
presented here before, speaking of
the merits of the cast. We say again
that the cast was chosen with skill
and care, each member being excel
lent in his and her part. lombard
Ltd is one of the few plays ever seen
here in which every character was
ably handled and no adverse criticism
was possible. The play itself, mas
terpiece by the Hattons, is refreshing
and leaves a pleasant taste. It is
play that gives entertainment and
pleasure both to the intellect and to
the soul. 1t brings laughter and sud-
den sobs, it deals with sin and evil,
with falsity, with foolish philosophy
and traces with accuracy the reaction
of these, but tones the whole to a
permanent announcement in the hap
py old way by giving good and de-
cency their natural rewards.
Mr.. Leo Carrillo is the best actor
ever seen in Wilson and his work in
lombard Ltd. deserves encomiums
that would read like fulsome flattery.
It is such a genuine pleasure to sit
under the spell of a great histrionic
artist, to respond in mind and heart
to the magic of his genius, to feel
realism behind the footlights and to
|revel in the illusion of great play.

GOOD WORK YESTERDAY

Yesterday was big day for law
enforcement in Wilson county. and
if we could have Judge Horton with
us for three or four courts, we are
of the opinion, there would be a very
definite change in the minds of some
people in Wilson county regarding
obedience to law and especially the
prohibition act.
Our people have come to a reali.

MONEY UNDER FALSE
REPRESENTATION.

The Superior court the first thing
this afternoon considered the case
against E. R. Ha1es of Pikeville for
obtaining money as the result Of
false representations from Williams
and Company lumber dealers of this
city.
The plaintiff alleged that Hales
came to them in March 1920 and
represented that he desired to buy a
planer and that he needed $4,000
to make the purchase. That he had
several thousand feet of lumber on
his mill yard near Pikeville and
would ship them lumber to repay the
money. That he waited 18 months,
and in the meantime went out of the
lumber business, took trip to Flor
ida and did not repay them all the
money.
The defendant alleged that he
could not secure hands at that time,
and cars to load lumber. That it was
an honest debt. That he had lumber
and accounts worth easily $5,00O.0O.
That he owed the money, and paid
$4,000 of same. That he could not
pay the balance but would as soon as
possible, and that in a trial before
Justice Wood of this city he waived
the examination, admitted the debt
and asked for more time which was
granted. Defendant also admitted
taking trip to Florida after secur-
ing the money from the sale of the
mill, and that he stayed in Florida
a month, but that it was not a JOY
trip but a business trip. Several wit
nesses testified Hales had lumber and
logs on the yard at the time he bor-
rowed the money.
| Hales was found guilty.

WANTED TO GO TO STATE PRISON

Whether from a desire to take a
trip, or the belief that the work is
not SO hard at the state prison, or
the fear of Mr.. Herndon, superinten-
dent of the Wilson County convict
camp Influenced negro named Ed
win Brown, charged with taking
goods from the Wilbanks Mercantile
Company, we are not absolutely GER
tain, but the fact remains that in
sentencing Brown to the roads this
morning, the negro Informed Judge
Horton that he preferred going to the
state prison twelve months than to
the Wilson county roads for six. The
negro was not represented by an at
torney.
Even before His Honor had indi-
Gated what he expected to do, the
negro got up from his seat, after the
jury had returned a verdict of gull
ty of receiving goods knowing them
to be stolen, and advanced to the
judges desk and requested his hon
or to send him to the state prison.
Judge Horton asked why it was
"these negroes prefer to go to the
penitentiary twice as long as they
do to the county roads," Register
of Deeds Barnes informed him that
Mr.. Herndon was good to them, but
| made them work.
His honor said "this is strange.
A negro yesterday stated that he
| would rather go-to the state prison
for two years than to the county
roads for twelve MONTHS
He then instructed Clerk Bardin
to give the negro twelve months in
the state prison, the negro accepting
| this in lieu of six months on the
| county roads. Then His honor pass
| ed his hand across his brow in mo-
ment of mental soliloquy, and began
to question the darkey. He found
that he had no relatives here, and
that he came from Wilmington. That
he had an idea they did not work
| the convicts hard at the state prison.
That the negro according to the YER
| dict Of the jury had merely received
| goods which two other negroes had
,, stolen and ran away. That he had
been according to Mr. w. B. Forbes,
the principal owner and manager of
the Wilbanks Mercantile Company,
| and prosecuting witness, a good hand
and his previous reputation was
good. Hos honor evidently reasoned
that this negro could have run away,
but stayed to face trouble, while
! those who were responsible had got
ten away and would probably never
| be caught.
His attention was attracted to
+ something at that moment, and the
negro moved away in the custody of
the officer. Calling him back he
fsaid, Brown you've go the wrong
idea about this thing. If I send you
to the state prison they will send you
to the western part of the state and
make you work on the railroad and
break rock, the hardest kind of
| work, much harder than building
roads here in Wilson county. If you
work and behave, you will get a
credit of five days per month, and
that will let you out earlier. You
| will be down here among your own
folks, and we white pepole think a
whole lot of good negroes in Eastern
North Carolina. I am going to
| make your sentence only four
months" 1t was evident that moth
ing escapes his honor, and that he
takes into consideration all the sit
uations and conditions surrounding a
case.
