Perfect Plans for
Fight on Boil Weevil

The series of bon Weevll meet
ings he'd in northeastern North
Carolina is but the opening gun
in the fight to be made on the
boil weevil this year, state eX-
tension workers of the State Col
lege and Department. The work
ers in the Division Of Agronomy
and the Division of Entomology
have lately prepared a definite
program giving in a condensed
from the best methods of fight
ing the weevil and this is now
being printed for wide distribu-
Jon over the cotton growing
area. Only the recommendation
embraced in this folder will be
workers this year in order that
a confusion of methods will not
eb given which may cause the
grower to fell that none of them
is correct. This publication i,
Extensin Folder IA, North
Carolina Boil Weevil Program
For 1924" and may be had on ap
plication to the extension divi-
sion, State College, Raleigh, N
IC.
In addition to this folder, the
extension service plans to issue
a poster for distribution by
county farm agents.
The Live-At-Home campaign
will be conducted again this yeal
and all he activities of the ex-
ten ion forces will be correlated
with the fight on the boil weevil
The extension service believes
that only best cultural methods
should be used in growing cot
ton this year and that pre-square
poisoning should be practiced
This poisoning can be done by
simply busting a little calcium
arsenate in the cotton bud JUS

VINCENT BOYS
BODY is FOUND
Badly DecOmpOSed, Disfigured and
Rayaged by Time and ScaveR-
gers. Found by a Fisherman.

/ The final act of the grim
tragedy of December 2S, when
Edward Vincent lost his life in
the muddy waters of the Roam
oka occurred this we k when hi
body W s discov red on las. We
ne sdav bv jim Tu'rr, a North
ampton county fisherman, on a
sand bar of one of the innumera-
/ BILE inlets that fringe the eastern
bank of the river.
! The tody was hardly recog-
nizable, having been frightfu,ly
mauled in it's two mile journey
from the scene of the drowning,
over the 400 foot dam Of tn
Roanoke Rapids Power Company
Gown the rapids and acoss to
the Northampton side. Decom-
position was present in an ad
vanced stage, both hands ard the
bones in the lower part of the
face being missing.
Identification was made by
Miss Ru, h Rainey, an aunt of the
dead boy, based upon that part
of the clothing found on the
body, the structural peculiari-
ties Of the feet, which were fair
ly well precerved, and the fact
that the left collar bone showed
evidence of having been fractur-
ed in the past.
Considerable surprise at the
location of the body was express
ed by many people familiar with
the physical contour and the cur
rents of the Roanoke. 1t was
stated that current sets well
away from the Northampton side
at that point and the fact that a
body drowned at the spot where
Edward Vincent apparently met
death should have drifted to the
location where it was found is
considered by most of those
qualified to express an opinion
as highly improbable. 1t can
only be accounted for as a vagary
| of the river at flood stage.
Interment took place Thurs
day afternoon in the family buri-
al place in Northampton county,
following funeral services at the
grave conducted by Revs. N. M.
Harrison and r. H. Broom.

Board cf Trustees Meet

At a meeting of the Board of
Trustees held in the High School
Building Wednesday afternoon,
in the light of crowded condi-
tions which now exist and which
promise to be greater next year,
and in considering the fact that
the school system is attempting
to provide more practical educa-
tion for the youth of this COM
munity, it was decided to erect a
Vocational School Building.
This building will be located on
the grounds of the high school
adjacent to the present building.
This will relieve the present
crowded conditions. The
space now used by the Home
Economics and the Manual
Training Departments can be
used for class rooms to take care
of the present overflow. About
four hundred children are at
tending school on the half day
plan and next year it is predict
ed the number will reach six hun
dred unless more room is avail
able. The new building will con-
tain class rooms and with the
extra room in the present high
school this condition can be re-
medied.
The new building will be in
two separate units One will be
devoted to Home Economics for
teaching the Sciences such as
physics chem stry, biology etc ;,
and will contain class rooms.
The other unit will consist of
various shops in which indus
trial work for boys will be car
ried on. Elementary and ad-
vanced woodworking, electrical
and sheet metal work, automo-
bile mechanics, textiles, concrete,
bricklaying, plastering and paint
ing will be taught
Roanoke Rapids will be the
first community in the State to
establish so complete a Voca-
tional School. A certain amount
of such work is being done in
everal places in the State, nota-
ably in Charlotte. Supt Coltrane
who has just returned from Rich
mand Norfolk and Baltimore
states that this will be the most
complete school south of Balti-
more.
The following building Com
mittee has been appointed:
Chairman, DR.. T. w. M. Long,
Messrs. j. A. Moore, l.. S. Can
non, Lewis Grimmer and E. J.
Coltrane. Work will begin at once
and will proceed as fast as the
plans can be worked out. 1t is
hoped that the building will be
ready for use the first of Septem-
ber.
