It is desired to have every school committeeman in the county attend and participate in the county com-mencement exercises, and to this end Superintendent Foust has addressed the following letter to the commit-teemen: "As you know, our county com-mencement will be held at the Cen-tral Carolina fair grounds on Satur-day, April 17. and I am writing this as a special invitation for you to be present. The indications point to even a larger attendance than we had last year, and I hope to have every committeeman in the county present. "Last year the school committees attended well and all seemed to en-joy the occasion, and we hope to have more of them present this year. "The parade around the race track will begin at 10 o'clock, and we want the committeemen of the county to lead the procession. I think this fitting because of the great work which the school com-mitteemen are doing without any compensation. We have an-excellent set of men serving as school com-mitteemen in the county, and it is but right that they should head this great educational procession. "Please lend a helping hand to-ward getting a good representation also from the school of your dis-trict." MEETING OFJMMISSIONERS LIST-TAKERS AND ASSESSORS NAMED—BOND ELECTION D3 UP TODAY. On Jury With Her Father. Redwood, Cal., April 6.—San Ma-teo county claims the distinction of being the first county in the state to present a father and daughter serv-ing on the same trial jury. ■ W. W. Matson, of Belmont, and his daughter, Mrs. Elmira Eichen-berger, qualified yesterday to sit on the jury which is trying Felice Lom-bardi, charged with the murder of a man in South San Francisco last De-cember. Mrs. Carrie Belton Rhodes, a club woman of Burlingame, is also on the jury. Died Suddenly.—Mr. T. A. John-son, who had conducted a restaurant in this city for a number of years, died suddenly about 4 o'clock Mon-day morning in his room over Con-yers' drug store, on South Elm street. Death came almost without warning. He had worked in his res-taurant and appeared to be in his usual health when the place was closed at a late hour Saturday night. Mr. Johnson was about 50 years old and is survived by his widow and several children. The body was car-ried to his former home in Chatham county, where the funeral and Inter-ment took place Tuesday. On account of the press of other business, the county commissioners did not take up the question of the proposed court house bond issue at their monthly meeting Monday and Tuesday, as had been expected. The matter was deferred until today, the commissioners meeting in adjourned session at 9.30 o'clock this morning to give it consideration. It is gen-erally believed that an election will be called to determine whether or not $250,000 In bonds shall be is-sued and that it will be beld in the near future. In addition to transacting a large amount of routine business, the board drew jurors for the May civil term of Superior court and appoint-ed list-takers and tax assessors for all the townships except Morehead, where a list-taker only was appoint-ed, the assessor to be named later. The estate of Lonnie Poole was granted a rebate of poll tax for 1914. Ben Massey,. J. H. R. Wyrick and W. H. Long were exempted from the payment of poll taxes on account of physical infirmities. Massey' and Long were granted rebates for the taxes paid in 1914. Garland Daniel, secretary of the Central Carolina Fair Association, appeared before the board and re-quested that the sheriff be instruct-ed not to license any circus to exhibit in Greensboro during the next fair, which will be held October 12-15. The board took no action in regard to the matter, hut doubtless the fair will be protected against circuses. The board made an appropriation of $200 to the Central Carolina Fair Association, the money to be ex-pended in premiums for agricultural exhibits. Upon petition of patrons of the district and the recommendation of the County board of education, the commissioners ordered a special -school tax election for the Whitsett district to be held at J. W. Thomp-son's store on Tuesday, May 11. An appropriation of $15 a month was made to the Greensboro Rest Cottage, a home for fallen women, with the understanding that the ap-propriation may be withdrawn at any time. Salaries Fixed.

The meetings have aroused much interest and the at-tendance generally has been good. The biggest meeting yet held was at Proximity, where 600 people were present. In addition to an address on health and sanitation by Dr. Jones, helpful talks were made by Messrs. Ceasar and Bernard Cone and Prof. Thomas R. Foust, county superintendent of schools.

Miss Jeannette Knight, an aged and beloved woman of the Guilford College community, died Monday at noon at the residence of her ne-phew, Mr. Cornelius S. Knight, where she had made her home for several years. Death was due to the infirmities of age. She was 85 years old and had been in feeble health for quite a while. Miss Knight was an educated and cultured woman and possessed a dis-position that won for her the abiding friendship of all who came within the circle of her influence. In for-mer years she was a well known school teacher,, and there are living in Guilford county and elsewhere many people who cherish her mem-ory as an instructor. She was a wo-man of retentive memory and a ver-satile conversationalist. Miss Knight is survived by a sis-ter, who resides in Indiana; three nephews and four nieces. The neph-ews and nieces are: Messrs. R. G. Hiatt, of this city; C. S. and N. M. Knight, of Guilford College; Mrs. James I. Fountain, Mrs. Lola Lamb, Mrs. M. Vuncanon and Mrs. Blay-lock. The funeral and interment took place at Guilford College Tuesday af-ternoon at 3.30 o'clock, the services being conducted by Rev. Albert Peele and Rev. W. L. Dawson. - Dr. H. Q. Alexander, of Mecklen-burg county, addressed a good audi-ence of Guilford farmers at the Rocky knoll school house, a few miles south of Greensboro, Monday. He made a very interesting talk, outlining many of the advantages ot the Farmers' Union as an organiza-tion for the advancement of the farming class and stressing the im-portance of co-operation, crop diver-sification and other things for which the union stands. Incidentally Dr. Alexander paid tribute to the progressive spirit of the people of Guilford. saying the county is one of the most prosperous of all the counties of the state. The speaker called attention to the fact that, in spite of the advancement of the past few years, Guilford county is still tar behind in- the production of good supplies. The county will not be what it should be and the peo-ple will not be as prosperous as they ought to be so long as they continue to import foodstuffs that could and ought to be produced at home. Dr. Alexander is a strong advocate of the diversification of crops and spoke plainly on this question. He believes the 'only kind of farming that is successful', especially in this part of the country, is diversified farming, and he warned his hearers . of the folly of depending too much upon any one crop. "Cotton and tobacco should be raised only as money crops, attention first being paid to a sufficient pro-duction of food products to take care of the population, und especial-ly of the individual farmer. This year, he said, must be a year of re-trenchment, and he advised against the use of credit. If the farmer is not able to pay for commercial ferti-lizers, for instance, he should do without them. He designated credit as the great curse of the South. In this connection, he said that fertiliz-ers to the value of $20,000,000 were used in North Carolina last vear, and census reports show that fully two-thirds of this was wasted. The speaker called attention to the favorable conditions existing in this section for cattle and stock rais-ing and urged his hearers to take a greater interest in this subject. Dr. Alexander stressed especially the importance of co-operation on the part of the farmers in every way possible, especially in the matter of marketing their products. He call-ed attention to the fact that in the past the farmer has had nothing whatever to do with fixing prices. He has purchased his supplies at the other fellow's price and has sold his products to the man who has named the price. He argued that co-opera-tion and organisation would over-come these great handicaps, and that the cause of the farmer could be ad-vanced wonderfully if small preju-dices and socalled "self interest" be forgotten in the work tor individual and class betterment. Sulzer Acting For "Movies." New York, April 4.—William Sul-zer, former governor, it is announced at the Mittenthal Film Company's studio in Yonkers, is posing there for a motion-picture drama entitled "The Governor's Boss." Pauline Hall, actress, has the leading wo- .man's part. The play was written on "the same old bill" clash with Charles F. Murphy. G. A. Ellis, man-ager of the studio, said it would take fully two weeks for Sulzer to act the six reels. CARNEGIE LIBRARY NOW A COUNTY INSTITUTION. Beginning today, the doors of the Carnegie library are open to all the white people of Guilford county In-stead of the- people of Greensboro only, as has been the case in the past. This is the result of an agree-^ ment between the city and cofinty' authorities, the contract having been signed yesterday afternoon. By the terms of the agreement, the library book fund is increased by an appropriation of $1,250 made by the county commissioners, this being half the amount of the city's annual appropriation. Mr. E. E. Bain yes-terday resigned as a member of the board of trustees and Prof. Thomas R. Foust was elected in his stead to represent the county. It is the intention of the trustees of the library to carry this extension work still further by establishing in six localities throughout the county sub-stations for the library. These stations will be fixed wit.tin the next ten days. In the meantime the peo-ple of the county are invited to the library and. will 'be welcome there. It is intended to popularize the li-brary and at the same time increase and bring up-to-date its service. Ac-cording to representations to the city commissioners, the increase in the book fund will enable such purchases of new fiction, for Instance, as to make the service quicker nad more satisfactory to the city than it was under the old system,i although the county will be using books at the same time. -.'•:.'

Broke Baseball Contract.—The baseball team of the North Georgia Agricultural College, at Dahlonega, spent a portion of Monday in the city and while here engaged in some pretty warm and plain talk concern-ing the alleged bad faith of the Elon College team in breaking a contract to play the Georgians on Easter Mon-day. Elon, it appears, had guaran-teed the Georgians a minimum of $75 and their expenses from Satur-day night until after the game Mon-day, but instead of carrying out their agreement, the Elon boys played Guitford College in Greensboro, be-ing defeated by a score of 4 to 1. The Georgians were very sore over the treatment they had received from Elon and before leaving here Mon-day afternoon placed their case in the hands of an attorney.

It is desired to have every school committeeman in the county attend and participate in the county com-mencement exercises, and to this end Superintendent Foust has addressed the following letter to the commit-teemen: "As you know, our county com-mencement will be held at the Cen-tral Carolina fair grounds on Satur-day, April 17. and I am writing this as a special invitation for you to be present. The indications point to even a larger attendance than we had last year, and I hope to have every committeeman in the county present. "Last year the school committees attended well and all seemed to en-joy the occasion, and we hope to have more of them present this year. "The parade around the race track will begin at 10 o'clock, and we want the committeemen of the county to lead the procession. I think this fitting because of the great work which the school com-mitteemen are doing without any compensation. We have an-excellent set of men serving as school com-mitteemen in the county, and it is but right that they should head this great educational procession. "Please lend a helping hand to-ward getting a good representation also from the school of your dis-trict." MEETING OFJMMISSIONERS LIST-TAKERS AND ASSESSORS NAMED—BOND ELECTION D3 UP TODAY. On Jury With Her Father. Redwood, Cal., April 6.—San Ma-teo county claims the distinction of being the first county in the state to present a father and daughter serv-ing on the same trial jury. ■ W.

Mrs. Carrie Belton Rhodes, a club woman of Burlingame, is also on the jury. Died Suddenly.—Mr. T. A. John-son, who had conducted a restaurant in this city for a number of years, died suddenly about 4 o'clock Mon-day morning in his room over Con-yers' drug store, on South Elm street. Death came almost without warning. He had worked in his res-taurant and appeared to be in his usual health when the place was closed at a late hour Saturday night. Mr. Johnson was about 50 years old and is survived by his widow and several children. The body was car-ried to his former home in Chatham county, where the funeral and Inter-ment took place Tuesday. On account of the press of other business, the county commissioners did not take up the question of the proposed court house bond issue at their monthly meeting Monday and Tuesday, as had been expected. The matter was deferred until today, the commissioners meeting in adjourned session at 9.30 o'clock this morning to give it consideration. It is gen-erally believed that an election will be called to determine whether or not $250,000 In bonds shall be is-sued and that it will be beld in the near future. In addition to transacting a large amount of routine business, the board drew jurors for the May civil term of Superior court and appoint-ed list-takers and tax assessors for all the townships except Morehead, where a list-taker only was appoint-ed, the assessor to be named later.

The board took no action in regard to the matter, hut doubtless the fair will be protected against circuses. The board made an appropriation of $200 to the Central Carolina Fair Association, the money to be ex-pended in premiums for agricultural exhibits. Upon petition of patrons of the district and the recommendation of the County board of education, the commissioners ordered a special -school tax election for the Whitsett district to be held at J.

Miss Jeannette Knight, an aged and beloved woman of the Guilford College community, died Monday at noon at the residence of her ne-phew, Mr. Cornelius S. Knight, where she had made her home for several years. Death was due to the infirmities of age. She was 85 years old and had been in feeble health for quite a while. Miss Knight was an educated and cultured woman and possessed a dis-position that won for her the abiding friendship of all who came within the circle of her influence. In for-mer years she was a well known school teacher,, and there are living in Guilford county and elsewhere many people who cherish her mem-ory as an instructor. She was a wo-man of retentive memory and a ver-satile conversationalist. Miss Knight is survived by a sis-ter, who resides in Indiana; three nephews and four nieces. The neph-ews and nieces are: Messrs. R. G. Hiatt, of this city; C. S. and N. M. Knight, of Guilford College; Mrs. James I. Fountain, Mrs. Lola Lamb, Mrs. M. Vuncanon and Mrs. Blay-lock. The funeral and interment took place at Guilford College Tuesday af-ternoon at 3.30 o'clock, the services being conducted by Rev. Albert Peele and Rev. W. L. Dawson. - Dr. H. Q. Alexander, of Mecklen-burg county, addressed a good audi-ence of Guilford farmers at the Rocky knoll school house, a few miles south of Greensboro, Monday. He made a very interesting talk, outlining many of the advantages ot the Farmers' Union as an organiza-tion for the advancement of the farming class and stressing the im-portance of co-operation, crop diver-sification and other things for which the union stands. Incidentally Dr. Alexander paid tribute to the progressive spirit of the people of Guilford. saying the county is one of the most prosperous of all the counties of the state. The speaker called attention to the fact that, in spite of the advancement of the past few years, Guilford county is still tar behind in- the production of good supplies. The county will not be what it should be and the peo-ple will not be as prosperous as they ought to be so long as they continue to import foodstuffs that could and ought to be produced at home. Dr. Alexander is a strong advocate of the diversification of crops and spoke plainly on this question. He believes the 'only kind of farming that is successful', especially in this part of the country, is diversified farming, and he warned his hearers . of the folly of depending too much upon any one crop. "Cotton and tobacco should be raised only as money crops, attention first being paid to a sufficient pro-duction of food products to take care of the population, und especial-ly of the individual farmer. This year, he said, must be a year of re-trenchment, and he advised against the use of credit. If the farmer is not able to pay for commercial ferti-lizers, for instance, he should do without them. He designated credit as the great curse of the South. In this connection, he said that fertiliz-ers to the value of $20,000,000 were used in North Carolina last vear, and census reports show that fully two-thirds of this was wasted. The speaker called attention to the favorable conditions existing in this section for cattle and stock rais-ing and urged his hearers to take a greater interest in this subject. Dr. Alexander stressed especially the importance of co-operation on the part of the farmers in every way possible, especially in the matter of marketing their products. He call-ed attention to the fact that in the past the farmer has had nothing whatever to do with fixing prices. He has purchased his supplies at the other fellow's price and has sold his products to the man who has named the price. He argued that co-opera-tion and organisation would over-come these great handicaps, and that the cause of the farmer could be ad-vanced wonderfully if small preju-dices and socalled "self interest" be forgotten in the work tor individual and class betterment. Sulzer Acting For "Movies." New York, April 4.—William Sul-zer, former governor, it is announced at the Mittenthal Film Company's studio in Yonkers, is posing there for a motion-picture drama entitled "The Governor's Boss." Pauline Hall, actress, has the leading wo- .man's part. The play was written on "the same old bill" clash with Charles F. Murphy. G. A. Ellis, man-ager of the studio, said it would take fully two weeks for Sulzer to act the six reels. CARNEGIE LIBRARY NOW A COUNTY INSTITUTION. Beginning today, the doors of the Carnegie library are open to all the white people of Guilford county In-stead of the- people of Greensboro only, as has been the case in the past. This is the result of an agree-^ ment between the city and cofinty' authorities, the contract having been signed yesterday afternoon. By the terms of the agreement, the library book fund is increased by an appropriation of $1,250 made by the county commissioners, this being half the amount of the city's annual appropriation. Mr. E. E. Bain yes-terday resigned as a member of the board of trustees and Prof. Thomas R. Foust was elected in his stead to represent the county. It is the intention of the trustees of the library to carry this extension work still further by establishing in six localities throughout the county sub-stations for the library. These stations will be fixed wit.tin the next ten days. In the meantime the peo-ple of the county are invited to the library and. will 'be welcome there. It is intended to popularize the li-brary and at the same time increase and bring up-to-date its service. Ac-cording to representations to the city commissioners, the increase in the book fund will enable such purchases of new fiction, for Instance, as to make the service quicker nad more satisfactory to the city than it was under the old system,i although the county will be using books at the same time. -.'•:.'
