(fere too the mvalid dying by Inches of the white plague, hopes lor longer lease of life, for even the bringing back of the health of tho stronger years. To Illustrate the larger scale and quicker completion of latter day un dertakings let us go hack a little In lime. In 1888, only 31 years ago, the building of the 3 (J. Railroad was com menced. The purpose of its origina tors was to connect the coal ilekls of the Virginias and Kentucky with the Houth Atlantic coast .States. Links were’completed East and West of the Alleghanies, leaving conquest of the mountain section for the supreme work. All went well until tho coming of the panic of 1S93. That stopped the worka, the road went Into the cdurts •n4 after r*d lape delays passed Into She ownerships of different companies. The Western Tlrik was bought by a Tseng man who had a wise head and a Wain for Initiative and a tongue for convincing. In a quiet way he in- toretted roaster eapitalUU. Without any brass band noisiness they bought ftp 400,000 acres of coal land, and bsv- tng chaaply acquired that wonderful property undertook to build a railroad that srouId bring the black diamonds to the Sootb Atlantic seaports at the mlaimum of freight coat. The road I* »ow complete from the coal mines through the mountains and by October Its trains wtU be mpning Into Spar tanburg, Mo money has been spared and the entire road Is i remarkable In the South, It < and Is, therefore, nearly ipleted *07 miles will when equipped. 9t. single miles have cost f5o0;000. There Is not a trestle on the line. AH the bridges are of steel, all the culverts of concrete. If Ucorge L. Carter, Thomas F.

C , which was in session for a week, a little boy eight year* old. Cicero Alexander bv name, sold one of the delegates a paper. 'The gentleman gave him a dollar and the boy. not having the necessary change, went away to get it When lie return ed the gentleman hail gone imo the hall And could not tie found. The bov ; after bunting vainly for some time, hurst into tears. Some one suggested that ho go upou ^Ije rostrum in Die con vention hall and fell the chairman, which the bov at once did. Chairman Parson* took him by the hand, led him to the front of the stage and requesfed that balloting be *u.« pended for a few minute*, lie then explained that, tlie liov de»ired to re turn to someone 95 cents in change that wa* due him. '1 he gentleman arose in tlie rear of the hall. but. Before he could say anything^.000 delegates, many of whqm bad been Heeustouie.d to rail out “ilo change” on tlie ballots when their respective counties Kvcre called, took up the cry in uuisop and yelled for ten minutes, ‘‘no change!” At the conclusion of the, yell they crowded toward* the rostrum. One delegate took the little felUnv’s big straw hat and put into it a lyalf dollar This, was followed bv nicltfcls, dimes and quarters until $ 19,;!f> was in hi* hat. and the boy stood bcyttldered. A deh'gato yelled. “Mr. Ctretrwnn. 1 nominate that boy for atatc trea.*- tsrer,” Ue*wasiofomutHlby the sdiair that, as u candidate f#r treasurer had already^ been nominated his motion was not In older. Another delegate then said, ‘‘I move that (hat boy bo nominated by ai/elamatiorj for chief page In the next/general assembly of North Carplip*.” mid the. morion was carried unantmjously. Thereupon the chairman told the boy that bo must make a speech. Walking to the front of the rostru/n. he bowed low and said, “Genfjeihei/, I thank you,” the only speech dur/ng the convention that was noted for ita brevity. SNAP SHOTdOF CURRENT EVENTS.

Home Course In Modern Agriculture r XVII.—The Farm Home By C. V. GREGORY. JKtfricutyxiral Di'Oi'tfon. JoUta State College CopyMsht, 1909. by American Press Association la more Important f 1 Ills: HE farmer Hum hU farm, and the moat iniiiortniit crop he raises Is not corn nor hogs, but boys nnd girls. The success of. a farmer Is not measured so much by the money be makes ns it Is by the happiness he brings to himself'nhff‘To""fits family. Cue of the surest ways of accomplish ing this end Is by making the homo surroundings attractive. There Is no place on earth where It Is easier to have nn attractive home : thnu on the farm. Yet In spite of j this too many farm homes nre located in the middle of a weed patch that goes by the name of garden or nre hidden behind such a thick Jungle of trees that tt is Impossible to see In or out. The first thing te consider is the house itself. It should be situated on the highest part of the hill ou which the farm buildings stand. A house need not lie expensive to be homelike and convenient. Indeed, the most ex pensive bouses are often the least homelike. The starling point Is the cellar. With but little additional expense this can be made tlie full size of the house. In this case tlie foundation walls should extend to the bottom of no. XXXITT — FARM HOWB R*nH A2W PKSO- I>ATE KhOJ* LACK OP TREKS, bHHUXJS ASD LAWS. the cclier. The first course should bo of hollow brick, laid end to end, and connecting with a tlie drain on the lowest side. In this way seepage water will be kept out of the cellar. A cement floor Is a great advantage end is Inexpensive, since the cement need not bo more than two or three inches thick. The cellar should lie divided Into about four rooms. Hollow brick make good partition walls and at tha same time help support tho floor. One of the rooms may be used for vegetables, one for fruit, milk nnd butter, one for a laundry and the fourth ce mented on the inside nnd used as a cistern. If the furnnea is used an other room will be necessary, or the cistern can be located outside. For nn ordinary sized family a hun dred barrel cistern is about the right size. A partition of a double layer of filter brick, with gravel nnd charcoal packed between, should extend across it. Tho water is drawn out from the opposite side of tlie filter from that to which tlie pipe from the roof empties. ' In tills war the water obtained Is pure j enough for cooking or drinking. A ' plentiful supply cf soft water is n luxury that can be obtained so cheaply that no one can afford to do without It. Wood is still (lie cheapest nnd most satisfactory building material. In building the house the two extremes of size should he avoided. If the hoii'-o Is too small it will be crowded, while if too large It costs more and is harder to keep clean. In arranging the rooms, convenience nnd case of keeping In order nre the chief considerations. The large nhd solemn “spare room,” which was opened only on state occasions, has largely given way to the bright, cheer ful living room with Its bookcases and work nnd reading tallies, which is used every day and evening in the year. This room, together with the dining room, kitchen and bedroom, with a wash nnd bath room if possi ble, will comprise the first story. A wash room, with a sink pnd n place for overshoes, coats nnd bats. Is a great help in keeping dirt out of tlie kitchen. A bathroom is also a great convenience. A cupboard In the wall between the kitchen nnd dining room Is handy, as the dishes can lie reached from cither side. A spring door between the two rooms keeps out tho flies and at the «amo time opens easily, A bedroom on, ^ho ground floor Is almost n ne cessity, especially in the case of sick ness. The upstairs wjil. of course bo largely devoted to bedrooms, although it is often convenient to have one small room fixed up for a library. The nttic niakes a good storeroom for seed torn. Probably tlie most satisfactory way to heat the house is by n furnace. This Is cheaper and cleaner than stoves. If the furnace room is made large enough to hold a load of cobs and several tons of coni the work of Are building will be greatly reduced. A reglfter in the hall ujistairs. will be enough to ta|,e the chill off the sleeping rooms. It Is a good plan to have a furnace pipe run to the kitchen, too, nnd use n gasoline or kerosene range for cooking. This is cheaper, handler and cleaner than a cook stove, and the kitchen can be kept much cooTcr ln tfie summer ttxne. • Most farm homes are very poorly lighted A keroseue lnnyp T3~~fllrty. smell* bad nud does not give very much light. A gasoline lamp is much better. Rest of all is the acetylene gas system. After this Is once installed It can be operated cheaply and will fur nish nn abundant supply -of light The water system is another thing in which farmhouses are behind those in the city. There is scarcely a house in n town of any size but that is provid ed with water nnd sewage systems. In tho country these are the exception rather than the rule, yet they can be put In at a small cost. An air tight tank in the cellar is sometimes used to supply the pressure for a farm water system, but is rather expensive; The water can also- be drawn from the elovated tank at the barn, if one is used tbere, the only dis advantage in this case being that cis tern wat^r cannot be used. Ou the whole, the most satisfactory plan Is to have a small galvanized tank In the attic. A little covering In the coldest weather will keep it from freezing, and a few minutes work with the cistern pump each day will keep It filled. By having a heater attached to the furnace or to the kitchen stove nnd making tlie proper connections hot and cold water can be supplied to the bath room, the wash room and anywhere else that it is wanted. The laundry room downstairs Is the I place where the convenience of such a system will bo appreciated most. In this room tba washing machine, tubs, wringer nnd other utensils can bo kept. An opening In the floor con nected with the Ule drniu will carry off tlie waste water, and hot nnd cold water from upstairs will be always on tap. Such n room, together with Hie entire water system, can be fitted up for loss than 5100. Another convenience that can lie In stalled at small cost is n sewerage sys tem. This can be connected with the bathtub and sink, nnd with a small additional expense another luxury that Is seldom found on the farm, nn in door closet, can tie added. Drain pipe well cemented at the joints should be used in constructing the sewer. The cheapest form of outlet it the "septic tank.” Tilts is a small underground tank divided into four compartments, so arranged that when the first of these liecomes -full It will overflow into the second, ami so on. Tlie tank should lio covered and pro vided with a ventilator. The notion ! of bacteria In the septic tank will de- : stroy all the solid matter, so that the j water which Dows out the lower end i will be clear and have no objection able odor. With an occasional clean ing out such n tank will Inst forever. The house should lie provided with plenty of porches. These increase the exi>ense somewhat, but also add ranch to the comfort and appearance of the house. Vines trained up over them to keep out the sun and screen* to keep out the flies make them still more comfortable. Nothing adds more to the external appearance of the house (ban n neat lawn of ample size. Do not make It FINAL DISCHARGE NOTICE.
