Just AftiT This Nice Rain is the time to get busy on preparations and sowings of grain and vetch cover crops to conserve fertility and improve the soil. Turn the cotton stalks now to rob the weevil of his late food, and force him on to other fields. Besides, the leaves and twigs of cotton stalks are richest in plant food of any part of the plant, and are usually blown or washed away, when should be under the ground.

IT'S UP TO YOU TO GET IN-not to be dragged in, or left out where the whang-doodle mourneth and the boll weevil bareth. The County Fair will open Oct. 25th, without any parade. The cost of parade will largely be placed in the shape of better premiums on exhibits.

We had the best Fair ever held last year, and it was done with the products grown during the worst drought for years. We have had unusually fine seasons this year, and products are excellent, and of course we are going to make the exhibits building groan under the biggest and best supply ever put up before.

J2 It is doubtful if the people gmer ally of the county realize, the earnest purposes that actuate the Me-Lendon Club. This club is a penvet for morality, and through this agency Richmond county is to be made a cleaner county and a better place in which to live. And block- aders and blindtigers had just as well realize this and move on. The liquor business has got to go; the traffic has no place in the lives of our people, and go it must. Last Sunday afternoon was the regular semi-monthly meeting ol the club.

The Methodist church at Rockingham was well filled, over 250 men being present Spirited on enforcement, were made by T. C. Leak, J. L. Hawley, Mr.

Tutor, W. N. Everett and others, and when the club adjourned it did so with an even deeper purpose to clean up immorality wherever found. Every citizen of the county who is interested in making the county a cleaner county is invited to join the club and at- tend the meetings. The McLendon Club is most certainly functioning, Mills-Harward.

Mr. Hollis T. Mills and Miss Ruth Harward, both of the Gibson mill section, were married in South Caro lina Sunday. Contents of Box in Corner Stone of Court House.

It is becoming wetter every day. Statistics from Washington state that in 1921 every man, woman and child, in the United States consumed an average of forty-nine gallons of milk, or nearly a gallon a week per HM. -i i 1 inai is encouraging. is aisu disheartening to 3 those who would abolish prohibition. A nation that consumes agal-lon of milk a week per person will surely not suffer to any great extent as a result ofthat "terrible thirst." In time it may become corpulent even fat and'it surely is good drinking Do you ever change your mma The stubborn man' 'seldom changes his.

That is the reason why he is known as a stubborn one instead ofjasja successful one. Great mindslare susceptible to change upon submission of proof. Little ones are unable to grasp the proof, andj therefore always remain little, and in time become stubborn. When a strong mind changes it is invariably forfthe better. That makes it evenjstronger, as the small one becomes smaller.

The mathematicians of Washington have counted 13,711 bills of all sorts and descriptions that were introduced in the House of Representatives since the Sixty- seventy Congress went to work in April.

Of this number 1,057 were passed. The record of the preceding Congress was 15,492 bills introduced and 734 passed, There are said to be "upwards of 52,000 laws now on the Federal statue books. There are well over a billion laws and ordinances in the United States. The courageous stand taken by a citizens of Rockingham, A G. Corpening, in the recent blind- tiger cases should be heartily commended by all law-abiding citizens.

It is no easy matter to buck the wWskeyringj and yet he did this very thing; and as a result orie1blindtiger was last week senf'to'fhg'tSads for 15 months and another was convicted and sent to the roads for 12 months, but appealed.

extension ladder to the second floor nnd had the chemical hose in action; and in 2 i-2 minutes two streams of water were playing upon the -building. When the fire gong within the school building sounded, tlie chil-drcn quickly aud with no confusion dropped intq line, and the building was entirely emptied of the more than 400. children; in FIFTY SEC. ONDS. In the ten seconds interval from emptying of the building and arrival of the truck, the children had marched some distance from the building and were in orderly ranks waiting for.

further orders. It was an interesting and gratifying sight, and the firemen executed the various manoeuvres rapidly and without "lost motion." Small 1-in. The fire alarm came from the court house box Saturday night about 7:45 o'clock. An oil stove had set fire to the top of the restaurant tent of Jim Little, on New. street, but the flames were put out before the truck arrived.

Saturday night a car came within a fraction of being crushed by the heavy fire truck all because the driver failed to obey the oftrepeateel of driving to the curb when the bell rings.

bat fjl ed thretugh 1Z and -13 torin-; ute quarters at Raeford last Friday, Raeford nosing out a victory by score of 13 to 7. A misunderstand ing developed afterwards, the Rock- inghitm team" contending that there remained from 50 seconds to a min- ute to play, tvhiie the Raeford con-tingent claimect time was up. The ball was on Racford's 6-vard line in Roekinglinm's possession, when it was announced here was a min' ute antra half left to play. Rockingham then made one play, carrying the bali to within six inches ol the Raeford goal, and at this juncture some one took the stop watch from the regular timekeeper and an I nounced that time was up. tedly one more play would have carried the ball over.

However, the local boys feel they outplayed the Raeford team, though the score, according to the Raeford shows rd won. If you have a bank account, push ahaad by adding to your balance REGULARLY.
