FARMERS' UNION MEETING.
Farmers' Union Asks for Appoint-ment
of Agricultural Officer.
The monthly meeting of the board
of county commissioners was held at
the court house Monday and yester-day,
all the members being present.
The greater part of the time of the
first day was consumed in auditing
accounts and approving bills. Jurors
were drawn for two terms of court
and several road matters were con-sidered.
The board adopted a resolution
prohibiting the sale of near beer in
the county outside of incorporated
cities and towns.
A communication was received fron
Governor Kitchin announcing the fact
that a special term of Guilford civil

term, also for the February criminal
term.
The clerk of the board was in-structed
to notify Miss Minnie Wil-liams,
the official court stenographer
of the county, that the board will not
advance her per diem as court sten-ographer
any longer and that she
will have to rely upon collecting the
same by the taxation of costs In
cases tried in court. This means
that the county no longer assumes
responsibility for the payment of the
court stenographer's per diem.
The board granted the petition
heretofore filed asking for a public
road in Fentress township, begin-ning
at the railway crossing south of
Pleasant Garden church and running

point on the line between J. A. Mc-

County Commissioners Asked to Em-ploy
Agricultural Official.
The Guilford county branch of the
Farmers' National Co-operative and
Educational Union held a largely at-tended
and enthusiastic meeting in
the court house In Greensboro Satur-day.
All the local unions were rep-resented,
among those present being
a number of good and Influential
farmers who have recently identified
themselves with the organization,
While the meeting was au executive
session, it Is understood that the
questions presented and discussed
looked solely to the improvement of
conditions among the rural population
of the county.
Among other things, the union con-sidered
the fertilizer question and
heard interesting remarks on the
best methods of mixing fertilizer in-gredients.
Perhaps the most notable action of
the meetnig was the adoption of a
resolution requesting the county com-missioners
to employ a competent
person to fill the office of county
commissioner of agriculture in accord-ance
with an act of the las!) session
of the legislature. The act in ques-tion,
which was introduced and pass-ed
at the instance of members of the
board of commissioners and other in-fluential
citizens of the county, reads
as follows:
"Section 1. That the board of com-missioners
of Guilford county are
hereby empowered, if in their judg-ment
it shall be for the best inter-est
of said county, to employ some
rson educated and skilled in agri-culture
and sanitation, who shall be
a bacteriologist, to assist in the
building up of the agricultural inter-ests
of the county and the protec-tion
of the health of its inhabitants.
"Sec. 2. That said board shall fix
his compensation and the time for
which he shall be employed."
Ex-Sheriff J. A. Hoskins presented
the resolution to the county commis-sioners
Monday, but no definite ac-tion
was taken. The sentiment of
the commissioners. who expressed
themselves seemed to be that there
is no necessity of creating this new
office, with the additional expense
that would be incurred, at the pres-ent
time, especially in view of the
fact that the government is bearing
a portion of the expense of a county
demonstrator (Mr. W. C. Michael),
who is doing much of the work that
would be expected of a commission-er
of agriculture.
On. the other hand, it appears that
there are many farmers, both in and
out of the Farmers' Union, who de-sire
to see the office of county agri-cultural
commissioner created and a
competent man placed in the posi-tion.
They figure that such a man
would be worth more than his salary
and that the farmers of the county
would profit by his services.
DEATH OF C. H. HANCOCK.
Aged and Well Known Citizen Called
to His Final Reward.
Mr. Calvin H. Hancock, who had
been desperately ill of Brlght's dis-ease
for over a week, died at his
home on Guilford avenue at an early
hour Monday morning. The end was
not unexpected. The funeral was
held from the home this afternoon,
the service being conducted by Rev.
E. K. McLarty, assisted by Rev. Mel-ton
Clark. Interment was %made in I
Greene Hill cemetery, with Masonic
and Confederate veteran honors. AI
number of out-of-town friends at,- r
tended the funeral,
Mr. Hancock was 68 years old and i
a native of Randolph coutny. He
was a son of Mr. and Mrs. Elisha
Hancock and early in life was mar- I
rie.-< to Miss Cynthia Lasslter, a |
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Micajah |
Lasslter.
About 23 years ago Mr. Hancock
moved his family to Guilford county
and settled on a farm a few miles I
west of the city. He was a success-ful
farmer and stock raiser and fol- j
lowed his business closely until three
years ago, when he moved to this
city. He was a „ood and useful citi-zen
and was held in high, esteem by
his friends and neighbors. He w-as
a soldier of the Confederate army,
serving throughout the four years of
the civil war. For many years he
had been a communicant of the M.
E. Church, South, holding his mem-bership
at Muir's chapel. He was a
member in good standing of Masonic
Lodge, No. 404, at Farmer, Randolph
county.
Mr. Hancock is survived by his
widow, three sons and two daugh-ters.
The children, all of whom
were with their father when the end
came, are: Messrs. John R. Han-cock,
of Dallas, Tex.; Austin F. Han-cock,
of New York; E. P. Hancock,
who resides north of this city; Mrs.
N. L. Hanner, of San Jose, Cal., and
Mrs. Charles E. Pugh, of thiis city.
SAVE
BY
SYSTEM!
THE DAIRY FARMERS.
They Are Among the Most Prosper-ous
People on Earth.
Here is what the editor of the
Dairy Farmer of Iowa has to say
about the dairy farmer:
"Dairy farmers are the richest
and most prosperous people on earth.
"They have the best farms, the
finest homes, raise the best stock—
are the real leaders of the agricul-tural
world.
"They market cream every day in
the year and get checks every Satur-
Negro Woman Murders Her Rival.
Following a quarrel in the east-ern
section of the city Saturday af-ternoon
over a man with whom both
were infatuated, Emma Walker and
Jessie Crisp, both colored, engaged
in a fight, and later the Walker wo-man
procured a revolver and shot
her antagonist to death. After com-mitting
the murder, the Walker wo-man
made her escape for a while,
concealing herself in the house of a
friend, where she was located in
about aa^iour and arrested by Police j
Officer Causey. She was given a
preliminary hearing Monday morning
before Judge Eure, who committed
her to Jail without bond.

A Good Showing.
The Home Savings Bank, of this
city, made a most excellent showing
in response to the call for a state-ment
on January 31. Their deposits
great while by the entire country.
He mentions the following advant-ages
of the plan:
"(1) The better care of books, and
hence a saving in money; (2) the
purchase of books at a much lower
cost to the community, and (3) the
elimination of the difficulty of hav-ing
ail pupils supplied with books
and materials at the opening of
schools. This latter is one of the
chief problems In places where the
patrons own the books. Much time
class at the open-because
many are not
materials for work,
this is due much of
the dropping out of school and the
repetition of grade work. I find that
several cities in North Carolina get
around this difficulty by the city's
owning the books and charging a
normal yearly rent for their use; but
the whole country will eventually
come to the free text-book plan for
the public schools."
