PUR CREHIEDf
Co-Operative Institution Expected
to Prove Great Help to Dairy
Farmers.
WILL REDUCE EXPENSES
Will Be Possible to Keep More
Cows Thus Increasing
Fertilizer.
^Special to The Richmond Virginian.)
WADESBORO, N. C„ March '22.—
Leading citizens in and around Wkdes
boro are agitating the idea of j. co
operative creamery to be built in that
town. This la an enterprise, the need
ot which Is felt in a great many sec
tions of the State and the South tn
general.
The proposition will provide an un
limited market for butter and cream
at a much JilghOr price than other
wise, and will reduce the labor In but
termaking at least 60 per cent. With
the milk routes from the country Into
the creamery the farmers, whether a
mile or eight miles from town, as till
pay the same price for getting the
product Into the factory, are put In
a position to handle more cows on
the farms, thereby getting more
manure on the land and eliminating
the use of such large quantities of
commercial fertilisers. Under the
present system Anson county alone Is
■pending over $300,000 for commer
cial fertilisers yearly.
With a creamery tji Wadesboro It
“Would "Be only a sfioffTImeVeforc the
farmers around the town would be
milking enough cows to earn fifty to
eighty thousand dollars per year.
Wadesboro has an opportunity of
getting a creamery hsre now and
have the entire proposition guaranteed
by a well known Chicago firm, whose
agents are In the field. This firm has
already established two other cream
eries tn the State, one of which Is in
operation. It Is now paying Its
patrons 30 cents per-pound for butter
fat. and producing one thousand
pounds of batter per week, thereby
paying out over $400 per week to the
farmers.

CORN CLUB BOYS
TO TRY FOR PRIZES1
JttinhanfH of Lynchburg Offer
Handsome Awards as Spurs
to Greater Efforts.
LYNCHBURG, VA., March 22.—In
response to a short canvass among a
few of the merchants of Lynchburg,
a number of valuable prizes were of
fered bj- the merchants to be given
in the corn club contest of Amherst
cgmnty.
This corn club has thirty members,
as many that the supporters think ad
visable to insure a fair trial «f the
scheme. The members are all boys
undei^lhtghteen years of age. und they 1
have promised to cultivate one acre
of corn during the coming spring un
der the supervision of United States
Demonstrator H. S Peyton, who will
have exclusive charge of the corn
clubs 4n this and three ether coun
ties. Mr. Peyton will be constantly
engaged In going around among the
members and seeing to it that they
cultivate their S'-re strictly according
to the specifications in the rules of)
the corn club.
By making every boy a better farm
er than his father, the supporters
hope to make the yield of .he farms
enlarge materially In the coming
years. The constant surveillance •>(
the demonstrator is necessary to keep
the boys from proceeding in the us- I
ual manner of farming employed by
their fathers
F. C. Campbell, superintendent of
the public schools of Amherst county,
who is much Interested in the move
ment. went out among the Lynchburg
business men several days ago and
found them willing to offer even
more valuable prises than were ex- 1
pected. All the prises are offered for
the largest yield per acre, without
regard to the size or quality oC the
ears.

NELSON HENRY "SPOTTER”
IS “SPOTTED" BY POLICE
Negro Who Has Been Used to Catch Many Other Violators of the
Law Now in the Toils Himself.
For years a "spotter" for the po
lice, Nelson Henry, a negro, was Mon
day "spotted" by Detective Wiley, and
he Is now In Jail, charged with high
way robbery and house-breaking.
Dozens of people have gone to Jail
and the penitentiary because of evi
dence given by this "spotter" or "stool
pigeon” of the police. Through him
the officers have convicted negro men
and women of selling cocaine, and
time after time have caught people
for selling whiskey by giving Henry
marked coins and getting him to buy
the intoxicants.
It was reported to the detectives
Sunday that Mr. W. J. Chappel,
1206 1-2 West Main street, had been
held up and robbed of S 7 under the
Seventeenth street trestle. Mr. Chap
pell said that two negroes had beaten
him badly before taking the money
from his pockets. I>etectlve Wiley,
one of the best men on the force,
heard the report, and Monday he went
out on a still hunt for the men. He
little thought that the "ipotter,"
whom practically all of the officers
had u»ed as a decoy, would be the
main to be arrested.
Eva Walker, a negro woman, under
severe questioning from the sleuth,
said that Nelson Henry had come to
her Immediately after robbing the
man and showed her the money.
William Dunnlngton, a negro, cor,
roborated this statement. Both were
taken In charge, and are being held
In addition to the alleged holdup
of Mr. Chappell, who as yet has not
been given a chance to Identify the
negro, there is a charge to be lodged
against him to-dny of breaking and
entering a shoo store In Seventh street
and another stores In West Broad
street.
Altogether Detective Wiley thinks
the "spotter*’ has been ••spotted.” and
j that It will be only a question of
| time when his spots will change to
I the sebra stripes.
DR. CANTER READS PAPER
ON OSMOTIC PRESSURE
Interesting Review of the Work Done on This Property of Solu
tion Made Before Chemists Clash.
Dr. Hall Canter, of Randolph -Maeor
. | College road a paper before the Vir
: ginla Chemist*' Club <m.. Friday. txttk
' mg upon recent work on osmotic pree
| »uro, particularly describing the very
Important work being done at tpe
i Johns Hopkins University by Profes
sor Morse and hi* co-workers. It may
i be explained that If a solution of some
colored substance like blue vitriol be
poured Into a deep dish, and then filled
with water, In the course of time the
blue vitriol will be seen to diffuse up
Into the water, and In spite of the fact
that blue vitriol is much heavier than
water. This movement so apparently
contrary to the law of gravitation Is
due to osmotic pressure. If there were
a semi-permeable membrane between
the vitriol and the water, the vitriol
would be prevented from going through
Into the water even though the water
could pass through the membrane free
ly. so that a pressure would be exert
ed on the membrane which would be
a measure of the osmotic pressure.
I Dr. Canter gave a brief historical re
j view of the work done on this prop
' erty of solutions, telling how the
j Dutch botanist Pfeifer In 18*7 while
■ studying the rise of sap In trees, was
j led to make measurements of osmotic
pressure. Some Idea of the expertmen
; tal difficulties he faced may be Inferred
j from the fact that the celebrated chem
! tsts, the world over, have attempted to
measure this property with Indifferent
I success.

CHARGE THEY SOLD
SUPPLIES TO CITY
Mayor and Five Alderman of New
Bern Facing
Trial.
• Special to The Richmond Virginian.) i
RALEIGH. N. C., March 22.—The 1
mayor of Newbern and live members
of the board of aldermen are being
tried this week, charged with selling
suppli<*k and equipment to the city.
A special term of court was called
by Governor Kitchin to try the oases.
Strong legal counsel has been em- j
ployed by the defendant*, and the j
cases will be hotly contested. The
amounts of the sales vary from small
amounts to accounts that will run
into thousands of dollars. The cases I
are similar to one tried In Greens- j
boro a short time ago. where a mem
ber of the board of aldermen was1
convicted of selling to the city and
fined after it was shown that he lvnd
sold the goods much cheaper than
they could have been purchased else
where.
YOUTHFUL THIEVES
CAUGHT BY POLICE
Drag Net Hauls in Five Negro
Boys Guilty of Many
Depredations.
(Special to The Richmond Virginian.)
RALEIGH, N. C.. March 2*.—I'or
some time the police department has
been aware that Raleigh was over
run by petty thieves, and yesterday
a haul was made, in which five negro
boys were drawn Into the net
The gang constated of more than
five, but evidence could not be se
cured against the other members.
Their depredations covered a wide
field of effort, and house-breaking t nd
chicken stealing were only two of the
many counts against them. The five
boys were bound over to court under
bond.

. In the meantime the Importance of
I knowledge In regard to osmotic pres
. sure enormously. A large part of the
modern development' of physical chrm
j lstry has grown out of the theoretical
i deductions originally made from the
i observations of Pfeifer. And they
I have proved of great practical value
j In explaining not only why sap rises
i In plants, thus making osmotic pres
sure one of the great forces of nature.
; but also explaining many functions ot
the body, as, for instance, the passage
of digested food through the walls of
the Intestines into the blood. Use of
this knowledge Is made when the phy
sician Injects a dilute salt solution into
the blood Instead of using pure water,
j It Is grately to.the credit of Ameri
can science that after many years of
most patient labor, professor Morse, of
Baltimore has devised apparatus for
the exact measurement of osmotic pres
sure. What discoveries these results
may lead to, cannot be wholly known
1 a« yet. but they are already of great
lntareat.
