Reports received at Director B.

W. Kilgore's of fice at the State College indicate that these gentry are more numerous than ever in rural districts this fall. They are on hand to sell every kind of thing both necessary and unnecessary to the farmer Because of this Dr. Kilgore has written a letter to all the field work ers of the State College and Department, asking them to use their influence in the right way to" guide their cooperating farmers in the purchase of necessary supplies and equipment and in the use of surplus money for the purchase of those things which will add to the com-' forts of the farm home, to pay back debts and to improve conditions for better farming next year. Indicatioms are that there Is a regular campaign on to get-as much of the farmers' monev as possible through the use of agent canvassers.

Generally, it Is found by woricers oi the Extension service that suco things as the farmer will need for his farm and home equipment, or for his convenience and home beautmca-tion can be purchased best through the regular channels rather than from some traveling agent or can vasser. The business men of tne home town are those who pay the taxes, support the public lnstltu-tioins. advertise in the newspapers, and keep things going in the home community. The integrit- of these men is known. An unsatisiactory article may be rteurned to them and settlement made; but, with the canvassers once he gets the money the farmer may or may not get the article purchased, and he mav or may not be satisfied with it should, he get it "Let the traveling agent, alone.

Purchase from your home merchants and invest your surplus money wisely," is a warning Dr. Gilgore iss.uea at this time; Lower Jackson News Waxhaw, Rt 1. Nov.

Rodgers. Dd You Ever That a -kind word put out at in- terest brir.g back an enormous percentage of love and appreciation? The little acts i of kindness and thoughtfulness day by day are really greater than one immense act of goodness once a year. To talk pleasantly about nothing in particular is a fine art and prevents you from saying things you might regret. To talk and talk and talk about yourself and your belongings is very tiresome for the people who listen. It is a much greater act to kepp friends than to make freinds.

NORTH CAROLINA ALWAYS RAISES TEE BKEEZE (Pageland Journal) People up this way are so accustomed to hear North Carolina toot her horn when we hear one Jblow we say, oh well that is lust some one over the line.

But let us say Texas, Atlanta and South Carolina are still in the Union. Texas is so big and so far away that we do not hear much from the "F.epullic of Texas" but let us say it is some state. When the editor has a real opinion dares express it, he is sensational. V.hen he has no iJ ns or fails to ex-rv 3 nry, he is stupid and dull. I 'i'rr' '9.

These are the counties which have the highest death rate from tuberculosis and which have not yet provided adequate facilities for treating their people of the disease. These counties, printed in red on the Conference programs, have a tuberculosis deathrate higher than 100, while the average for the state is97.5 per 100,000. The deathrate for white people alone is 66.7 and for the colored people alone 169.6, or more than twice as much as that of whtie people, -v These counties and their death- rates from tuberculosis are: Pasnuntank 15fi.2 Durham Hertford 151.3; 'Camden, 148.6: Wayne 135.7; Pamlico 132.4: Chowan 131.4; Person 123.7: Alexander 113.1; Orange 112.7; Forsyth 111.7; Union 111.2; Edgecombe 111.2; Perquimans 107.5; Alamance 106.6; Caswell 106.3; Greene 105.7; Craven 103.5; Northampton 102.6; Scotland 102.1; Martin 101.8; Henderson 101.2; Wake 100.9 andd Warren 100.3; Durham county which has the largest rate save Pasquotank has issued a call for an election to be held in Durham County in November to auth orize the County Commissioners to issue bonds for the erection of a tuberculosis The bond issue is not to exceed $100,000.

which is the limit fixed by th.e law, and probably not that much. It is proposed to levy a tax of not over five cents on the hundred dollars worth of property for maintaining the sanatorium.

THE MEASURE OF OUR THANKFULNESS The season of Thanksgiving is upon us.

Just how thankful are you The measure of your thankfulness is found in what you are willing to do, and will do, for those who are not as fortunate as you are. If you are truly' thankful for this christian land of for tha creature om forts that God 1ia? given yov during the past year, for the prosperity that your community, your state, and your hation enjoy, you will show it by trying to pass on to somfe one less fortunate than yourself, some of the blessings that you and yours are If you are looking for some such outlet as this for the joyful spirit of Thanksgiving that is filling your heart, we commend to your consideration the appeal of the North. Car olina Orphan Association. This or ganization is asking every citizen of the- Old North State to give to the orphanage of his or her choice on Thanksgiving Day. the full proceeds of one day's labor.

There are 23 of these institutions in North Carolina. All of them are cleanly and all of them are worthy of the support of all good (people. You will make no mistake hv giving to any of These orphanages are doing a won derful work in North Carolina, Hampered by lack of equipment and money as they have always been, still they have added wonderfully to North Carolina richest assets her manhood and her womanhood. Many thousands of homeless and helpleps children have been lifted out of and above mean and sordid envir onment and have been developed into useful men and women by these or phanages of ours. In all respects, these institutions are worthy of our suppoft and we can do no finer thing at this blessed Thanksgiving season than to show our love ana, appreciation for them and for the thousands of helpless children whom they are nourishing, bringing up under religious mnu ences, by givinr to them on Thanksgiving Day in the same measure as God has blessed us during the past year.

SIXTEEN MORE PIGS NEEDED RIGHT QUICK Tomorrow week, November 10th, the Legion boys are going to set a free barbecue in Monroe that will top anything that has ever taken place here along that line. There'll be Brunswick stew 'and there'll be roast lamb, for Henry My ers has donated a sheep from his fat flock, and M. L. Baker and R. El Connell have given another, but these will be side kicks.

The main show is going to be barbecued pig, such barbecue as few people in Union county have ever eaten. Jack Hernig, J. E. Thompson, Clyde Nash and Dr. P.

M. Abernethy have each added pigs to the list of those already 'furnished This brings the number up to within sixteen of the fifty required, and the boys expect the sixteen others to be given at once. And you fellows who are going to give them had as well hurry up and let Sam Lee or Dr. Alexander know about it. Thoss who go to church may learn iv ore about Heaven, but those who go autoing on Sunday may get there first.

Baltimore Morning Sun. At the age of sixteen a g'rl knows a l--t more nit tr-n in a an at With solemn ritual, in the presence of the nation's highest officials and one of the largest gatherings of Blue Lodge Masons in history, the cornerstone, of the lofty national memorial which will be erected by the Free Masons of America to their revered craftsman George Washington, was laid yesterday at Alexandria, va. When completed, the structure will be one of the largest monuments ever erected in honor of an individual. Standing, on the crest of Shooters' the massive granite pile will rise in column dignity 200 feet above the stone set in place today to command a perpetual view of the vast estate once owned by Wasshlngton, the Capitol of the republic he helped" make, the quaint old town of Alexandria where he presided over Masonic meetings. Not far away lies Mount Veronn, where he spent much of his life and died.

President Coolidge, though not a member of the fraternity, silently spread the first 1 mortar with the trowel his illustrious predecessor used in laying the cornerstone of the first National Capitol and the first Masonic temple erected here. Chief Justice Taft followed him, using the same relic, which then was put away to be guarded until, about five hence, its final resting place is ready in the shrine that was consecrated yesterday. After the President and the Chief Justice had performed their act of homage, Charles H. Callahan, Deputy Grand Master of Virginia and the Grand Masters of every jurisdiction in the United States or their emissaries, with a number of Past Grand Masters,) convened as members of the Grand Lodge of Virginia, each in turn spread mortar with a silver trowel destined to a place among the treasures of their grand jurisdiction. SAM HELMS TAKES THE POTATO CAKE Mr.

Sam D. Helms has got the coon and gone when it comes to giant sweet tatefs. He planted Porto Kicas but thinks they must have gotten mixe Awwi-aom -kind of. m'amouth variety. He found so many bigf ones that he began to look lor the biggest He found one which weigfihed nine pounds and a half and that was near ly the biKgest one that bad been re ported in the county.

But Mr. Helms likes to lead, not follow, even in the matter of big potatoes. So he looked again. This time he found that weitrhs eleven and half "pounds, and that's the record one. And while he is known to' be a truthful "man and anv one would take hls.word for it.

he hitched up his two horse wagon and brought these two along td town, where they were weighed again. Mr. Helms was not asked whether or not he had any possums "fitten" to go with such potatoes, but the presumption is that he has not. since Mr. Al Trull used to live on that farm and was pretty active in his campaigns against the possum tribe.

Mr. Helms thinks he must have as many as a hundred potatoes that weigh six pounds or more. FORD FAMILY REUNION Monroe Route 6, Oct 30. A surprise family reunion was held the home of Esqi and Mrs. J.
