THURSDAY, AUGUST 31, 1911.
The Richmond papers are working
the Beattie trial to such an extent
that we can't help thinking they are
glad it all happened.
President Taft seems toplacegreat
stakes on his little tariff board. Rut
of course everybody knows in ad
vance what the conclusions and re
commendations of a part isan tariff
board will be.
If Col. Wade II. Harris, of the
Charlotte Chronicle, doesn't mind he
is going to be the instigation of more
railroad wrecks. He wants the Sea
board to cut out over an hour of
slack in its passenger schedule be
tween Charlotte and Wilmington and
make it a five-hours run.
A head line in one of the leading
daily papers of the State a day or
two ago read, "Girl of the Under
World Suicides." While some of our
leading dailies have a wonderful rep
utation for journalistic euterprise,
this is the first intimation that they
have succeeded in establishing a
"press service" down there.
President Taft patted the Demo
crats on the shoulder and told them
they were noble, patriotic fellows to
rise above party and vote for his pet
measure, the Canadian reciprocity
bill. Rut when it came to the Dem
ocratic tariff measures the President
was not big enough and patriotic
enough to rise above party and al
low them to become the law of the
land, but promptly vetoed them.
Wo do not know if our townsman,
Mr. T. T. Dicks, quite agrees with
Mr. Dooley with reference to the con
stant perils of autoists, but it is the
opinion of the latter gentleman that
"the man with the automobile is
constantly steerin' between the poor
house and the county jail, and if the
police don't land him in wnn, the
automobile will land hirudin the
other." Anyway, Mr. Hicks' article
on the subject, which appears on the
first page of this paper, makes very
entertaining reading matter.
Of the ninety-three applicants be
fore the Supreme Court this week for
license to practice law in this State,
one was a woman, .the first of her
nex, so far as we now recall, to apply
for license to practice law in North
Carolina. It is not yet known if she
successfully passed the examination,
but if she did, and if she is as good
at quizzing and arguing as most
other women are, she ought to be
able to make a success in her
choBen profession.
Wonder who is back of those high
ly exaggerated estimates that would
indicate a bumper tobacco crop in
North Carolina this year, and what
their object can be in sending out
these estimates so persistently at
this time? It is a matter of common
knowledge here in Vance county
that the crop in this section will do
well if it finally shows up to be GO to
TO per cent of what it was last year.
And from general reports it is little
if any letter anywhere else in the
State.
The Greenville Reflector wants the
Gold Ix?af to tell it what a "whiffin
poof" is. We are not sure that our
information is absolutely accurate,
but a Henderson man says it is "a
big ado about nothing." It is a part
of the business of newspaper people
to "run down" such things and "sift"
them. Now and then you find a per
son who has done something that in
the judgment of the doer ought to
be worth at least a column in the
paper, while the newspaper man can
see only two to five lines in it. Did
you ever hunt 'em, Mr. Reflector.
The rat her vigorous agitation that
has been started here in favor of a I
more aggressive and wide-awake mu-
nteipal eover-ment has already
gun to attract attention throughout
the State. Several papers, including
one or two of the leading dailies,

and it is therefore no wonder that

Hustling Henderson should attract
the attention of other cities and

ever, that there are no charges of
corruption or wrong-doing against
oar city officials. Mr. Peace seems
to set that matter straight this week
by saying frankly that all our city
officials are honorable men, and that
he is not after men but progress.

of hands are at work between the j

way, digging holes and setting up :
the great poles on which the wires
will be Ktruucr. Some of these have '
their headquarters here and at Kit-!
trell, Franklinton, Neuse and Hal-!
e:gh. The constmctiou work is j
making satisfactory progress all j
along the line.
Work on the substation that will I
be used for distributing the power
over Henderson and to the various
manufacturing concerns that will
use it is now in progress near the
Harriet Mills, where it has been de
cided to locate it, and this will be
finished and ready for use before the
main line is completed. ' From this
point lines will radiate in all direc
tions, carrying the power to its con
sumers in every part of the city aud
its suberbs.
From this point a line of high
poles has been erected to the Hen
derson Cotton Mills in the northern
part of the city, and this big mill
will be operated by electric power.
The poles used on this line are from
45 to ;0 feet iu height in order to
get the power lines up above the
shade trees. Similar lines to other
manufacturing plants and sections
of the city will be constructed, and
everything will be in readiness for
turning on the new current by the
time the main line between Raleigh
and Henderson is done.
Work on the big line between
Rlewett Falls and Raleigh is also
going forward as fast as possible.
Steel towers are being erected on
this line, and it will be ready to con
vev the current before the great dam
across the Pee Dee river at Rlewett
Falls is completed. Rut Henderson
will not have to wait on this, as
power will in the meantime be sent
from Ruckhorn Falls on the Cape
Fear river near Moncure.
Three car loads of copper wire
and other materials for the line be
tween here and Raleigh arrived here
the first of this week.
Farmers Will Poo! Tobacco Crop.
The bright-tobacco growers of
North Carolina and Virginia held a
great convention at Greensboro last
Friday and Saturday and unani
mously adopted plans to pool the
191 1 tobacco crop, and completed a
fusion of strength which they believe
will be effective in warring against
the tobacco trusts. This conven
tion was held under the auspices of
the Farmers' Union and its deliber
ations were therefore behind closed
doors. Hence very little of the pro
ceedings of the convention was given
out for publication.
It is learned, however, that the
farmers agreed to hold their tobacco
for tiftH?n and twenty cents a pound,
according to the grades, and further
more that tin? members of the I'nion
are in a position to secure t he price
demanded. Thev are backed by
strong financial institutions and in
connection with the pooling plan
have organized a banking system
that cannot be surpassed. Such are
the claims of the tobacco farmers
who met at Greensboro last week,
and they confidently expect to "make
good."
This project of pooling the tobac
co crop did not originate from a
sudden impulse, but on ' the other
hand the farmers have been getting
ready for it for some time. Through
out the Piedmont section of North
Carolina .and Virginia ten large to
bacco prizeries have been erected
during the past few years, and six
more are now in course of construc
tion. These will be used to store the
crop In the communities in which
they are located, each of them hav
ing a capacity of over 5,000,000
pounds, the general average being
sufficient to store the crop of a
whole county.
Ry means of this union of forces
the farmers claim that they will lie
able to place their crops on the mar
ket at almost one-half of the cost
they have heretofore incurred in
marketing. The farmers are direct
ing their tight chiefly against the to
bacco trusts and the warehouse
owners, who, they claim, have here
tofore managed to squeeze about all
the profits of the producers of to
bacco. Industrial Track Located.

VACCINATION!
All pupils must present a certificate of

generously agreed to meet at the school
building and examine children for any
trouble which may retard the children

poor progress in their studif s when the
trouble comes from some physical de
fect for which the child is not responsi
ble. He suffers from headache, the cause
may be from his eves, ears, tonsils, etc.
The child will be furnished with a card
calling attention to what should have
the immediate attention of the family
physician. There will be no charge for
this examination, Parents are urged
to attend to this.
The physicians will attend at the
school building as follows and the chil
dren should see them during these
periods:
