Meacham, proprietor of the local telephone exchange, was in Pineville Thursday conferring with the people as to the advisability of establishing a 'phone system in that place. The l^ople of Pineville some time ago expressed themselves as desirous of 'phone service, but for some reason would not promise l. <4><hh JB 3i j # sufficient patronage to justify the establishment there of a system. On Thursday, however, Mr. Meacham's offer to furnish Pinevflle with an up-to-date 'phone service met with the approval of a majority of the citizens and already application has been made to council of the town for a franchise to erect the polls, string the wireS, etc., along the streets. There is thought to ' be little liklihood of the council refusing to grant the franchise, and thus it would seem that; Pineville's wish for a 'phone sys- j tern is soon to be realized.

There is not a newspaper man in the land who will not testify to the truthfulness of the fol-; lowing from the Lancaster News; There is probably nothing more annoying to a* proof reader than to have errors that he had carefully noted on the proof sheets stare him in the face after the paper is printed. It is not worth while ordinarily to call attention to such errors, for the purpose of explanation or other- 1 wise, in the next issue of the1 paper-better allow the readers X) forget them, if possible?but low and then it is necessary, especially when figures are involved, to do so in order to "keep ;he record straight." A -case in xrint occurred in last Saturday's ssue of The News. In a local | irtiele headed "Pension Mat- 1 ;ers," the number of names on .l:- t- " .ins year s pension roi. appears j is 197, when it should be 187. i rhe mistake was first made in 1 setting the matter up in type, j ind it was allowed to remain here by the printer who under- ! ;ook to correct the proof, not- 1 withstanding the fact that the i ;rror was noted on the margin j )f the proof sheet. But probibly it is well, after all, that ;uch things happen to worry a lewspaper man?otherwise, he: night be deluded into the belief [ hat a printshop is an annex to i Paradise. Senator Smith received his ; committee assignments Monday ind is exceedingly well pleased, i de is on the agricultural com- J nittee, upon which he. was most mxious to get.

Why net seo what you can do with Virginia-Carolina Fertilizers Other men have been ablo to double and more than double their yield per acre with a liberal application of Virginia-Carolina Fertilizers. Messrs. Lucas & Jackson of Kvlsey County, Tenn., used Virginia-Carolina Fertilizer on about f>5 acres planted with cotton, ;.i ! say: "We have the finest crop of cotton wo ever saw, and all thj people around here think the same. We actually counted 147 holla on one stalk. Another stalk had by actual count. 409 bolls, forms, snuares and blossoms. On about 8 acres we expect to make about 2 bales to the acre, and an estimate of adjoining farms not so fertilized and under other cultural methods, will yield only 1 bale to five acres." An interesting picture of tho cotton plants referred to will bo found in the new 1909 Virginia-Carolina Farmers' Year Hook, copy of which may be bad from your fertilizer dealer, or will be Bent free, if you write our nearest sales office.
