Daring these damp months furniture which is put together with glue falls apart, drawers stick, roll- ing tops refuse to work und fiat tops warp and split. Furniture for use in this climate must, therefore, be well seasoned before its manufac- ture.

RED LEHER DAYS. ROCHDALE SPROUTS. Timber Land* u Permanent Invest-

ment*.

;FW Perforce, of ""Th. Traitor" Rochdale. N. C. Sept 17, 1908 ■t Norfolk WiU Attract Multitaaes. Monday and Tuesday, Septem-

ber 28th and 29th will be red-let- ter days in the theatrical history of the country, for at that time '•The Traitor", the dramatic aequel to "The Clansman" will receive its first presentation at at the Academy of Music in Norfolk, Virginia.

Every one remembers how three years ago "The Clansman" started on its whirlwind career of success in the same city. At that time thousands flocked in from the near-by cities and towns. Railroad officials have evidently remembered this for they have arranged to run ex- cursions into Norfolk on both the 28th and 29th of this month to accommodate the multitudes who wish to be present at the inaug- ural performance of "The •Traitor." It is doubtful if there ever was in the history of the etage another instance where a new and unknown play was as- sured of such a welcome except inthecaseof "The Clansman." Those who have been fortunate

■enough to witness the rehearsals of this new play of the recon- struction p< riod bear witness to its power. At this t me it is probably sufficient lo note that "The Traitor" possesses all of

' the elements of sueceas that made "The Clansman" the talk ot the world. There is the al- ways delightful love story, tense situations that thrill the specta- tor, convulsing com°dy scenes that are Irresistible laurn-mak- ers. and last but not hast the weird and picturesque Ku Klux Klan is again an imr"J*tar,t we tor, while an even nv»ro awe- inspiring element is Intrcdueeu in the spurious red-robtd riders

NEWS LETTER FROM FARMVILLE.

During the past t*enty years timber lands have constantly in- creased in value and owners have derived a profit from tueir holdings due this appreciation. This is a speculative, although legitimate profit Timberlands are capable of yielding an addi- tional profit independent of the increase in the value of the stum- page, which is due to the annual growth of the timber. This pro- fit, which comes from growth, is greater on cut-over lands and from young timber than from old irrowth. Although it accu- mulates on all land which has any timber growing on it, it can be greatly increased by definite methods of management, by protection and systematic cut- ting. It is evident then that the value of timberlands as perma- nent investments depend primar- ily upon the amount of the an- nual growth of timber taking

value of farming land depends upon the amount of the crop which is yearly produced. The farmer can determine without difficulty the amount of his yearly crop and his profit or loss from it. It is difficult for the owner of timberland to ascertain the amount of annual growth or. his land and its consequent earn ing value. It is still more diffi- cult for the owner of timberland to ascertain the method by which he can increase the yield from his land.

Killed a Large Eagle.

John J. Tvson, son of J. A. Tyson, who lives about 5 miles from Greenville, killed a large bald eagle Thursday. He brought the eagle to town and left it at The Reflector office. From tip to tip of wings it measured 6 feet 1 inch, and from beak to tip of tail 2 teet 4 inches. Eagles are very rare in this section „„,.,-,.„.

Five thousand six hundred and twenty-three men, women and children killed and Injured—this is the slaughter that went to make America's holiday. This is the indictment by the Ameri- can Medical Association, through its official journal, in grim rows of statistics and a biting edito- r*ifll

The bull fights with which the American taunts his Latin neighbor sink into insig- nificance, the tragedies of 'he football gridiron which hsv« raised such storms of indignation are trivial by comparison, and only the gladiatorial conflicts of pagan Rome rival the carnage of the American Fourth of July.

The number of casualties is 1,210 more than last year, though the number of deaths, 162, M one less. The list containsi 167 more names than that of 190p. ihe second largest of the six years during which statistics have been kept by the Journal of the American Medical Associa- tion.—Greensboro Patriot.

A POUND OF FEATHERS

It Is In Reality HMviir Than • Pound of L..d.

The favorite question with the school cominitteemen of olden time wan, we are told, "Which ii the heavier, a pound of feathers or a pound of load ?'* The first rash answer almost ulunvs used to be, "A pound of load." Then, of crur-o. from the older pupils would coive the reply, "IJotli alike."

If this qilMtioB was asked today the old time querist n:i.*ht re.vive ■ decided surprise, for tlW pound pf tcsuken could ea-^'v bcl proved tt> be the heavier. A simp]} expori- r.ient is all the evidence needed.

With in; accurate scales weigh o:;t a pound of lead, using ordinary shot for convenience, iv.tr the shot into one of the pant of a bal- ance. For the feathers a light mus- lin bae will be needed, and care must be taken that feathers and bag together do not weigh more than a pound. When the bag of feathers is put Into the other pan of the balance the beam will, after a few oscillations, come to rest ex- actly level.

So far the verdict "both alike" seems to be proved. But place the balance on the receiver of an air pump, with lead and feathers un- disturbed. Cover the whole with the glass bell jar and exhaust the air. Slowly the feather* sink, and the lead kicks the beam. The pound of feathers is heavier than the pound of lead.

The truth is that what we call a pound v.;-,; n"t such in fact, for the atmosphere buoys up everything within it in proportion to the hulk of the object, and the feathers, be- ing of greater bulk than the lend, ore supported by the air to a con- siderably greater extent than the lead. Removed from this support- ing medium, their true weight is made evident.

Charles Reade propounded a similar question in one of his nov- els. A Jet» i-h trader ii made to ask, "Which is the heavier, a pound of feather* i r a pound of gold?" After awhile ' e explains to i! a satisfac- tion of his audience of miners that the I"'.-' •- are the heaiier.

Gol I, he explains, is w»i. was In allewliniie upon a swell fe.uction nt which the gveat of Ujnor was a dark skiuue.i pi'lncasa all seed !» ball from gag] of the south Ha Is- lands.

manship and material used in the buildings and Mr. Hooks says:

"The work is progressing sat- isfactorily but not as rapidly as we had hoped for. This, how- ever, is due p.-imarily to the de- lay in securing face brick. The face brick are shipned lrom Ral- eigh and must ba uniform color, in fact when laid in the walls they look as though they had been painted, but we insist on the uniform color and these brick must be selected from the general lots that are shipped. The recent heavy rains have interfered with the manufacture of brick which in turn has de- layed the work.

"The roofs will be covered with clay tile which is the best and most durable of all roof coverings. The east dormitory will be roofed this week.

"The refectory is nearly ready for roof and this building will be one of the best proportioned buildings to be found where.

"Several car loads of stone have arrived from Indiana and it is the very best of material and workmanship and the deteil is such as to compare with the work of a sculptor.

' ors and it is my purpose to see ■ that the State gets exactly what is specified. 1 shall remain un- til 1 have satisfied myself that everything id as it should be."

Mr. Hooks also showed The R:flector representative over the grounds and buildings and point- ed the general effect the complet- ed buildings will have. We

;!,,y'were impressed with their per- fectness and beauty and believe this institution will not suffer the least in comparison with

any in the South. The people of Greenville and

of Pitt county, in fact the entire State, have cause to feel justly proud of it. If in passing this way any of them will go out to the grounds and examine closely whatisgoinj on, they will be convinced that this Bchool is going to be a great credit to
