Governor Morrison Leads the Wander
bIt Forces al Agricultural Society
Meet.

Mrs. Edith Vanderbilt was reelected
president of the state afr for fourth
term at the annual meeting of the
North Carolina Agricultural society.
Her election was without opposltioh'
but there developed disturbing ele-
ments that threatened for time 10
make the journey of the presidential
bark rough one.
Word had gone out that Mrs. Van
derbilt would be seriously opposed hv
faction of the society which pro-
posed nominating Captain w. NJ,
Saunders. of Smithfield. 1t developed
as the clouds grew lower over the
meeting, however, that the opposition
wasn't to Mrs. Vanderbilt but to poll
cies which were threatened. And, tin-
ally. it turned out that even the poll
cies, matters at issue as they we're
called. were concurrend in by the op-
posing factions and that the real dit
ficulty precipitating the excitement
was the manner of settling these
matters at issue" in connection with
the presidential election.
Preceding the meeting, the mat.
ters at issue" which proved to be
resolution putting the society on
record as opposed to the removal OF
the fair ground or the opening OF a
street through the property, had been
agreed upon by those entered on the
reelection of Mrs Vanderbilt and by
those determined upon the 'issue.'
But when the time for electing OF
ficers came up. those determined upon
the issue demanded The adoption OF
the resolution before the election and
the commitment Of the president tc
them.

Julian S Carr, leader of the "insur

Family of DWarfs.

Among the interesting accounts Of
dwarfs is that of Count Joseph Bor'
claski, who Is said to have been "ths
son of well-formed parents of whom
the first, third and fifth were dwarfs.
Joseph, who wrote history of his own
life, records that his eldest brother
was three feet six inches; then cams
Joseph himself. whose height al
twenty was two feet ten inches, and at
thirty. three feet three inches. He was
succeeded by three others, the middle
one being a girl who died of smallpox,
being then two feet two inches, but OF
admirable proportions. John Borclaski
was very well proportioned, was mar.
ried to a woman Of ordinary size. who
brought him several well-formed chill
dren, and died at Banks cottage, neal
Duran. in 1887. at the age of ninety.
eight, great age for an ordinary man,
and without an example In the history

Farmers Safest From tuberculosis.

Farmers and farmers sons have
been found to have the best chances
OF avoiding tuberculosis of a list OF
forty-one classes of industrial work
ers and wage earners according to
a study made recently by Louis D.
Dublin. PHI D., statstician of the Met
ropolitan Life Insurance Company.
The next class of laborers who work
ing conditions are favorable in the
prevention of tuberculosis, as reveal
ed by this study is railway engine
drivers, stokers and cleaners. Motor
car and, motor van drivers are third
on the list. builders fourth and agri-
cultral laborers and brick and terra
Gotta workers are fifth and sixth, re-
spectively.
In other words, the occupations af-
fording life in the fresh air offers
greater protection against tuber-
culosis than those indoors. which fact
goes to prove that fresh air has a
decided preventive value as we'll as
a curative value in regards to tuber-
culosis.
The occupations showing the great,
est susceptibility to tuberculosis is
that of tin miners. This class Of
workers is shown to have a death rate
fro mtuberculosis twelve times as
great as that of farmers.

Farmers Make High Average.

Twenty per cent of the farmers Of
the state this season averaged one
bale to the planted acre of cotton ac-
cording to statement issued hero
by Frank Parker. agricultural stats
tician for the state. In commenting
on this report Mr.. Parker said that 1t
was remarkable record and one
which had been possible only because
of unusually favorable conditions and
care.
The cotton crop in North Carolina
as of December first was more than
nearly completely ginned than in any
previous season, according to the re-
port IT also was the cleanest picked
and graded in the history of the state,
and second, If not the best in yield
per acre.
This season. according to Mr.. Par
ker. was the first time that the crop
on this date had been practically on
tirely picked With the value of the
lint and seed placed at $175,000. 900
the crop for the first time took sec
ond rank among fhe cotton states in
ClOp value. lCAdS, an III
self being the only state to lead North
Carolina.
Mr.. Parker attributed the success
this season to unusually favorable
weather conditions and the fact that
the weeyil was ineffective in most
sections. The fact that the earliest
large setting of boil took place in
1928 also aided. The cotton leaf
worms, which usually may hurt the
crop, arrived in September, but the
crop was in good condition so that
when the worms stripped the plants S
of foliage the only affect it had was
to acuse the bolls to grow the larger
and the faster. The usage of fertiliz
ers was approximately 462 pounds to
the acre cultivated In the northern
/ belt the acreage devoted to cotton
was increased over last year.

His white face loomed over hers.
She closed her eyes. He rained kisses

She felt something hard and cold

made her fingers close over it, hold it.
The feel of the thing revived her. She
opened her eyes. Stewart had given
her his gun. He stood with his broad
breast against her knee, and she
looked up to see that old mocking
smile on his face.

TO Washington, to New York, to San
Antonio. These were to senator's rep
resentatives, men high in public and
private life, men who would remember
her and who would serve her to their
utmost. Never before had her posi-
tion meant anything TO her comparable
with what 1t meant now. Never In all
her life had money seemed the power
that it was then. If she had been
poor! A shuddering chill froze the
thought at its inception. She dispelled
heartbreaking thoughts. She had
power. She had wealth. She would
set into operation all the unlimited
means these gave her-the wires and
pulleys and strings underneath the sur
face of political nd international life,
the open, free, purchasing value Of
money or the deep, underground, mys-
terious, incidentally powerful intlu-
ence moved by gold. She could save
Stewart.
When she went outside the car was
there with Link, helmet in hand, a
cool, bright CLEAN In his eyes, and with
Sulwell, losing his haggard misery,
beginning to respond to Madeline's
spirit.
Link, drive Stillwell to Ell Cajon In
time for him to catch the Ell Paso
train" she said. "Wait there for his
return and if any message comes
from him, telephone 1t at once to me-"
Then she gave Stillwell the kilograms
