"in other words, we are not going ■ to conduct a. “hot air’’ campaign for I the ‘general good’ of the state, but i rather an intense campaign for cci ! tain definite results and we will stay , with the game until the results are i achieved. “The various cities and counties of the state who enter our campaign will in real truth bo our 'clients’ and we will studv their need.; and oppor tunities. and having once found them will go hard after supplying , the needs and selling their opportu- I nities.” Search for Cotton Pink 8011-Worm Pest T. E. Francis, of the United Spates I’ureatL o* entomology, was in Rai* < igh. N. C., recently to consult with ''. Sherman, entomologist, in regard to inspection work in search of th._ cotton pink boll-worm. This de ' struetive insect is entirely different from the ordinary large boll-worm, and also different from the boll wee; : vil. It is established In parts oi Mexico and in the past has been 10-1 1 rated at several places in Texas, ! where federal and state authorities j are making strenuous efforts to ex j terminate it. . it is known that certain shipments ; of cotton waste-products from th’ 'i interior region found their way mtn North Carolina. These have lieen traced with great care by the feder i al authorities, and it now remains ' to make careful inspections of the J cotton fields where these wastes were used ;.s fertilizers, and of fielas : near mills or factories where they ! were used.

We looked upon j the sad countenance of that scene I with the consciousness that it was i for the last time; we felt that we I should not see the snring come tc 1 shut us once more within the green I of those lefty trees of the noble i park and the grass of those lovely | slopes. The guns thumped on un- I relentingly; often in the watches of the night I would listen to their reg ular tnrob —like the slow beating of the sad heart of a world that had grown very old and cynical and mean, in an age without illusions or ideals. There were no more smiles in the once all-radiant city, and in the midst of the almost universal de pression there in the Forest the Ger- i mans were cutting our firs for Christmas trees, • and—grotesque | touch by which the sardonic spirits i must mar even tragedy—a group of i them in the Bois playing at hide- , and-seek behind the noble beeches! The slaving was going on every where. though it had not come to Brussels yet. The capital, some said, was being reserved until the last, while others thought that was to be spared entirely, though one versed by experience in the implacable re- I sistance of German intention knew thre the visit was only postponed In fact, as an official whispered to me one day, it was fixed for a date in January. The terror was perhaps no less and the rage had not abated, but it had grown less acute and there was that pathetic quality of fatalistic acquiescence (n it. Events that once had 1 inspired in dignation passed now almost un noticed, as when there was a new announcement about the war levy and tho provincial councils of the provinces of Antwerp, Brabant, Lux i emburg. Liege and Namur refused to ; comply with the German order to i levy the new contribution and the i contribution was forced by a decree of the governor general. The slave drive at Brussels finally began on the 20th of January. For i several days before that date German soldiers went quietly about the city . j leaving at certain houses yellow , i cards, ordering the men whose names 1 they bore to appear on the morning • ‘ of the day noted at the Gate du Midi. ’ . and in some instances at the Grand ( ; Place. The cards bore an offer of I work and threatened the recipient I with a fine if he did not appear. He was to come with bov s, and l extra clothing. • ; The meu thus summoned were In • i every case, or in nearly every case, ; | unemployed.- How the Germans had - I secured possession of the lists was , j a mystery: they had not been sur ’; rendered by any of those having - : them in hand, and the Germans must have made up the lists themselves, ' ‘ slowly, patiently, from the reports r I at the registration bureau. i I There had been no public order: 11 the notices were served on each indi - ’ vi’lual. The effect was not that in ' ; stant;ineous sensation that the post ’ ing of a notice produced in a village. ' but the news percolated gradually and created its silent horror. The ’ I weather, in the monotonous Irony ,of things, was biting cold—such ' weather as Belgium hod perhaps j never known. On the 18th of Jan - ■ uary there was what we in America j would call a blizzard, and on that day there was a notice, not convok ing the ‘‘chomeurs.’’ but explaining the proceeding, and. with that hypo crisy which almost invariably In tensified the evil quality of any of the German deeds, seeking to Justi fy it as benevolent in its intentions > and of benefit to the Belgian nation. That night, the eve of the deporta ; tions. the fear that brooded over the . city was almost palpable to the i ; senses. Even women had received the > t fatal yellow cards. The 20th came, ) ' and almost before daylight—early in i that cold, glacial dawn—the men ’ ' began to apnear at the Gare du Midi. ! They came in groups of ten, of twen ! ty. of fifty; some in warm clothes. ’ : with their bundles pathetically I ready, others without even raincoats, ’ shivering in the searching wind. ( There were women in masses, and ! children come for the last good-by. But the>- could not approach the sta- I ticn. The arrangements were dia l»olically perfect; all the streets were i barred and there was a. squadron of • Uhlans, grim and brutal as only Uhlans know how to be. to keep people back, so that only those fur ] nished with the yellow cards had th« 1 sinister distinction of admission tc the lines. , t The men were taken inside the sta i tton. Those who come to bid them 4 j precautionary and grievous farewells i and to wait in the anguish of a per il , sistent hope, and those who camt ! merely to observe the witiful tragedv i stood behind those rones, behind the i j lances of the Uhlans. The hourselow ) i ly passed; the vicious nrocese wenl on within the brick walls of'the sta j tion. I Now and then a man would bolt • from the gaunt structure, dancing > ! for verv joy. Some physical defect 1 some latent disease, long nerhaps the subject of sad and morbid preoc ! pupation, dreaded in itself as a por ) i tion of doom, a sentence of death ■ now proved to be a reprieve instead • a means of liberation, so that iti victim could fling himself into tlv arms of some waiting woman ant mingle his tears of joy with her tear< ; of gladness, and so away, as thoug!
