Of doingS in North Carolina shown
in this correspondence the other day,
one event of some local importance
was omitted. Upper Moore county,
with the town Of. Hemp as the COM
munity center, stages each year Il
horse and mule show with especial
attention to home grown colts. The
big day" for 1910 will be on Au-
gust H. The show has attracted wide
attention in other years for the eX-
cellence of the young farm animals
shown and the interest stimulated in
horse and mule propagation.
The next North Carolina senate is
apt to go aLarkins or be very Gay
before it gets down to the serious
business in hand. John Larllins of
Jones and Archie Gay Of Northamp-
ton are currently the leading candi-
dates for president pro tenn Of that
august body. That play on names re-
minds again Of the Rocky Mount fun
eral homes. One is operated by MIR.
Gay and the other by Mr.. Pleasant.
Even worse than Il Larkin or 4 Gay
time in the legislature, is Gay or
Il Pleasant funeral.
Commissioner Kerr Scott stopped
at Il table in local restaurant to.
chide group Of fellows eating
breakfast about $50 the other morn

their being mighty sorry prospects
for farmers. AT least we know which
side to milk 4 cow from, said one
of the sIickers by way Of showing off
his knowledge of farm life. "Fhat

commissioner. "The COW would soon
give you that information.

Paul Kelly, No. 2 man at Conser-
walton and Development, was found
at his desk yesterday WlstIulIy cX-
amining a circular chart. AS your
correspondent walked in he heaVcd
a deep sigh and passed it over FOR
inspection. It was one OF those CON-
tinuous thermometer rec ordmg
things, and it came from Blowing
Rock, up in the hills. Most conSplcu-
Gus was the slightly WaVering red
line which indicated temperature Tor
every minute of the time from Mon
day noon to early Saturday morning
of last week. The line was almost
constant around the circle ~. once
il cot up to about 70, and once 1t
drOpped almost to 60, but it adhered
with amazing fidelity to 70 degrees.
Remembering that in Raleigh the
mercury stayed in the high nineteS
and several times busted Il hundred,
il was easy to understand PalllS
usefulness. Paul wanted to converse
about the malvels Of North Carolina
climate, but somehow 1t wasn't very
interesting.
c d Baucom, who sits in the big
chair in Weights & Measures division
in the Department Of Agriculture,
! ro,Ind a good place to take Vaca-
! ton. He returned few days ago from
/ Canada. Lots of things in Canada are
not up to U. S. and N. c. standards,
but when he went to the bank he got
= dollar and q dime for q. dollar OF
Uncle Sans currency. One place on
the border he thought he might have
i little trouble on account OF extra
war time inspection. But the lnspec-
TORS lust told him that with that
broad southern brogue he couIdn
be from anywhere in the world eX-
cept southern United States and they
lei him through without much en-
! nIaining. He still likes that idea OF
r dollar and dime for dollar. War
amt so bad after all-if 1t IS the
other fellows war.
All this talk about mountain cool
ness and Canadian premiums on
