New York, March THE most in
teresting shindig I have been to in
weeks was the opening of The Rus
sian Eagle in the basement of the
Sherry Netherland. Decorated to re-
semble a coronation room in the
Kremlin, this new whoopery is pre-
sided over by one of the towns most
engrossing personalities: General
Theodore A. Lodijensky, without
whom this lush cellar would be SIM
ply another supper room.
He is tall and heavy-set, with the
fine broad features of the upperclass
Russian of pre-revolution days. In
his coat lapel he wears a tiny gold
spread of wings surmounted by the
Star of st. Georgia. gift from his
cavalry regiment before the night
mare of 1919. From it streams the
tri-color ribbon of the French Legion
of Honor. These are the sum total
of worldly possessions with which he
was able to escape from the Bolshe-

He was lucky to escape at ALL

made his way to a seaport disguised
as French physician. He took his
wife with him and they were SNUG
gled aboard a Danish freighter and
reached England and finally New
York.
Those were the days when the le-
gend of opportunity in the New
World was still rife; the General
hea,'d fine tales of sudden riches
told by restaurateurs in London,
some of them fellow-exiles who had
fled to America and struck it rich
He reached the Battery with $50
in cash and Immediately set about
proving the old adage that strong
man can rise twice, thrice, any num-
Der of times, though the legions of
his inferiOus rose and smite him
down by force of numbers
He worked in a shipyard as a lab

Ter for an express company-"fo for
which 1 was grossly overpaid." He
saved his money and opened a mil
linery shop with his wife in Madison
Avenue and one day the late Karl K.
Kitchen happened by and did a ro-
mantle yarn about the General and
his shop for the old World. Next day
his shop was mobbed by customers.
Indeed his shop sold everything in
stock and instead of replenishing the
shelves he decided to try another
field. He opened the first absolutely
authentic Russian restaurant in the
quarters his millinery shop had occu-
pied. He called it the Russian Eagle
and bon vivants of the last decade
will remember it well, for from the
opening it was a success. It was there
that musicians like Reifetz and Mis-
cha Elman, stars like Chaliapin,
would perform extemporaneously for
the customers.

Treating Cotton
Seed Is Urged AS
Disease Control

College Station, Raleigh, March L.
Treating cotton seed with Cereasan
dust will aid greatly in the control OF
damping off disease, said DR.. Lutner
Shaw, extension plant pathologlst at
State College.
Some of the disease organisms live
over the winter in the lint on cotton
seed, DR.. Shaw pointed out, and they
may be killed by treating the seed' or
by keeping them in storage for a pc
riod of two years.
Apparently the organisms cannot
live on the seed much longer than one
year.
Sometimes the organisms are found
in the soil, DR.. Shaw added. If the
seed has been treated with Ceresan
dust, enough dust particles Will cling
to the lint to protect the seed and
young plants through the seeding
stage.
Cotton planted early is more likely
to suffer from damping off than cot
ton planted late, he went on, for
weather conditions favorable for the
development of the disease is more
likely to occur early in the season.
To treat the seed, he said, use three
ounces of per cent Ceresan dust to
each bushel of seed. The dust may be
obtained from any of the larger seed
houses.
A discarded churn, a feed mixer, a
commercial treating machine, or
homemade barrel buster may be used
as a container. Fill the container half
full of seed, put in the right amount
of dust, then agitate it for five or
10 minutes. Store the seed in a bag
or bin until planting time.

CURB MARKET HAS
GROWTH AT WILSON

Wilson, March Local home DEM
onstration club women are anticipat-
ing a heavy increase in the sale of
country produce when the new curb
market building is completed here.
The new building, equipped with
modern sanitary and marketing faci-
lities, will be an inducement for both
the rural and the town women to pat
ronize the market, said Miss Lois
Rainwater, home agent of the State
College Extension Service.
In spite of the fact that the curb
market has had no permanent loca
ton in the past she pointed out it
has become a we'll established insti-
tuition. Last year the sales amounted
to $9,0O5.38.

ringer, of Cabarrus, 1849 to 1853, and
Hannis Taylor, a North Carolinian liv-
ing in Alabama when appointed, 1893
to 1897.
T. The first county seat after Gull
ford was formed in ITO was Guilford
Court House. An act of the assembly
OF 1774 provided for the acceptance
by the justices of the peace of one
acre of land from John Campbell for
county purposes The assembly of 1885
provided for laying off 100 acres of
land belonging to Governor Alexan-
der Martin and Thomas Henderson at
Guilford Court House, and for nam

all the colonists, however, it was in
troducad at jamestown, Va. In 1907.
Inc FIRST shipment of any Importance
from the colonies was from Virginia
IN l747 when eight bags were sent
to England The expense of hand
picking the lint from the seed pro-
hiblted it's growth except for the in
divldual needs Of each planter. Prior
to the Revolutionary war very little
cotton was grown In North Carolina.
Following the war Mecklenburg was
the leading cotton county. with Lin
com following. The Whitney gin in
1904 made the increase of the crop
possible and profitable.

NEWSPAPERS OPINIONS
DRAWING IN THE FOCUS

The race for governor of North Carolina is get
ting more attention than it deserves-relatively at
least.
would be to say that other vitality important politi-
cal contests are receiving less of the enthusiasm
interest and concern of the electorate than their
essentially demands.
There is, for example, the question of who goes
to the legislature from the 100 counties of the
state-who goes from Mecklenburg, to bring the
issue squarely up into our local faces!
After all, the governorship is more honorary
than determinate of the sort of laws given the peo
pie of North Carolina.
The chief executive does not write the laws. He
may advise but at long lost, it is the General AS
sembly that decides what laws are expedient and
what are ill-advised. .s go -..-
|" We submit that this is matter that the cleo
torate of the state could wisely give itself time and
patience and common sense to decide -,
The policies of government what shall be the
sources of taxation, what present tax laws may be
abolished or amended or what new ievies shall be
undertaken-the governor does not dictate these.
He may sit in an advisory capacity, but his is
not court of last appeal That is the prerogative
and the right and the responsibility of the legisa-
ture.
The personnel of that body--the body that has
the power to tax and, therefore, the power to kill
make alive--it is upon this that the thought
and serious considerations of the people of North
Carolina should be bent at this time.-Charlotte
Observer .@ .r't

HAD BETTER BE ON GUARD

- To De sure, farmers and landowners and prop
erty holders of all names, types and descriptions
in North Carolina had better be on their toes in
the present political campaign in the state.
Do they want to revert to the old regime under
which they bore stunning and collapsng weight
of taxation on properties that returned no diyi-
dends nor profits? S. -
North Carolina must have revenues with which
to carry on its public services. AS much fiction and
aim-famming as is going on in these days, we sup
pose that at least will be admitted as irrefutahle
F, And when North Carolina, abandoning other
forms Of revenue gets in strut to find substitute
sources to provide necessary funds to carry on the
essential governmental services who will be the

An ugly thing has reared its head in the state
of Michigan. A band of men, the number Of which
is unknown, is defying the authorities and terrify-

u is said that four members arrested for the muir
Der of man have confessed. 1t is also reported
that as many as so persons have been marked for
death by the organization. There is no place in
the United States for such secret bands formed to
fntindate to spread fear, to murder if necessary

people of the Democratic party favor Dr.
Mcdonald, they should, and without ques-
ton will, say so at the primary ballot
boxes. But, people of the Democratic
party, and people Of North Carolina, may
rest assured that the nomination and cleo
tion of DR.. Mcdonald will be clear indi-
cation that this state favors a continuation
in the present trend of placing the greatest
norton of the tax load on the business and
industry of the state. Such a result will
most certainly be so interpreted in the
minds of those who watch from afar. The
decision rests with the Democratic party,
and with the people of the State of North
Carolina. i.
