81 had great time," said the
Captain when he turned aside
into the printshop from one of
his strolls downtown. 81 spent
two weeks in Wilmington with
my son, Fred c., .Jr., who is
night chief of the Western
Union Telegraph company there.
Then | went to Southport for
another two weeks to- visit Cap
tain George Grier, who operates
the Governments dredge boat
that keeps the channel clear
from the sea to Wilmington.
My wife and think it is fine
country down there. All the
people we met were mighty good
to us and did everything they
could to make us enjoy our
selves.
after leaving Southport, we
went to New Bern to see my
brother Frank, and from there
we came home. Just before we
went to the coast we had been
up to Wilkesboro, so we have
seen all kinds of North Carolina
scenery. 1t has been a fine vaca-
ton and now I'm going to get
back to work again. ~

IN AGRICULTURE
Boys viii Be Tansht About Crops
and Soils and About the Growing
Of Gardens.
NEW TEACHER DUE THIS WEEK

Farming will be taught in the
Chapel Hill school this next year
on a bigger scale than ever. A
new agriculture teacher, H. N.
Kelly, succeeding T. A. Whiten-
er, is to reach town this week,
probably today Thursday, and
in preparation for his school
work, will join R. P. Harris at
once in going about among the
farmers in this section and help
ing them with their various
problems.
The Chapel Hill school was the
first one in the State Except the
one at Cary used for demonstra-
tion purposes by the State Col
lege) to make agricultural teach
ing of such Importance as to re-
Quire two teachers. Last year
there were $50 pupils who took
instruction in agriculture here,
IS of them taking the full nine
months course. The sons of
farmers around Chapel Hill have
displayed great interest in the
work; many of them, as re-
suit of the school course, have
started f1ocks Of poultry and
bought blooded cows, and have
made considerable profit from
their ventures.
Crops and soil" will be the
name of the main course to be
offered in the forthcoming school
year, to the beginners. Those
who have already had instruc-
tion in farming will take a course
in horticulture-the growing of
vegetables and fruits and flow
ers. An "all-the-y arr n d
garden" is to be the slogan of
the class. They are to learn
what things to plant at various
times of the year, and what
plants are best suited to the
different kinds of soil.
Animal husbandry will be
taught again. The inspectors
are going to see that poultry
raiSers and those who go in for
milk and cream production get
q good market for their. nrn=
ducts. This matter of market
ing is Of vital Importance to
farmers, and the two agricul-
tural teachers make it part of
their business to find out where
3 the best purchasers are and to
help sellers to make shipments
and get prompt payment.
A year hence there will be
given a course in farm manage
ment. 1t is proposed to teach
the boys that farming is not
simply blowing and planting and
reaping; it is a commercial en-
terprise, in which business-like
methods must be followed if it is
to be successful. The keeping
of proper records is as essential
on the farm as in a store or a
factory.
R. p. Harris and the new
teacher, H. N. Kelly, before
school opens in September, are
to pay special attention to live
stock. The success Of a dozen
or so farmers, in selling sour
cream, has proven this to be d
fruitful and dependable source
of revenue, and the two teachers
are going to try to add more and
more producers on the creamery
routes. Mrs. Harmon McIver, of
Oaks, with only four cows, took
in S64 last month for cream sold
in Burlington. This is the rec
ord for Orange county, for that
number of COWS.

papers | went up to the Alumni
building to write the story, and,
having completed the job, start
ed home in my Ford car. Two
pistol shots rang out at. close
quarters. paid little attention
to it, thinking it a fool prank
Of some youth who wanted to
make a noise. Next day the big
student who acts as night police
man on the campus met me and
asked: Wasn't that your car
that left Alumni last. night"
| said it was: "Well, there's a
regulation against automobiles

stop, SO | fired twice at your

had heard had been aimed at

about the 11-o'clock regulation.
1t is a proper enough one. l shall
certainly observe it hereafter,
not only out of respect for law
but because of the risks in
volved. Next time the bullets
might hit my car, or even me.
1t strikes me as a rather queer
performance, firing at automo-
biles on the Campus, even if a
rule is fractured. However, no
harm was done, and my chief
sensation now is relief that this
bit of information appears in
the Chafr Column and not the
obituary column.

month old and Frank, remembering
an old adage, solicitiously inquired af-
ter its health.
But the woman, who was suffering
from q severe cold, thought Frank was
enduring about her health, so she ex-
planned to him that, though she usual
" had three or four year, this was
the worst she'd ever had. At first it
confined her to her bed and since then
had kept her awake every night.
By this time Frank was getting
pretty well flabbergasted. She notic-

could tell by his looks he was going
to have one, too, and she insisted that
for the sake of his condition he come

Uncle Bert White is as fond of
corned beef and cabbage as Jiggs ever
was. One time he and Mrs. White
were visiting an old bachelor who did
his own cooking and did it extremely
we'll. He put corned beef and cabbage
on the table for supper. Uncle Bert
ate, and ate, and ate, and ate, until
he was ashamed and at the saturation
point. After they went to bed that
night he couldn't get to sleep worry
ing for fear their host wouldn't put
the corned beef and cabbage that was
left from supper on the table for
breakfast. He spoke to his wife about
it. About midnight there was a COM
motion in the hen-house. The host
got up and went out to investigate.
Mrs. White nudged Bert.
''This is your chance" she whisper
ed.
And Uncle Bert slipped out into
the kitchen and ate up the rest of the
corned beef and cabbage.
