Tobacco Growing in Greenville.

Three enterprising young men of
CLASSY Mountain Township spent last
season in the Asheville country working
as laborers on tobacco farms. Satisfied
with the practical knowledge thus gained,
they have this year planted crops of to.
bacco on their own land in Classy Noun
tain Township. The names of these
young men are John aud Sherman Bridg-
man and Benny Emory, all to the man.
ner born. They have FIVE acres Of
growing tobacco which would pass as fine
in appearance to an experienced tobacco
grower, and have gohe at the business in
a proper way, having in the last six
weeks completed a barn and curing
house built of logs, we'll covered and
plastered with clay and twenty feet high,
with we'll arranged hue on the ground
floor. With such a building they can
fire and cure 5000 to 10000 pounds in
season. There are several other crops
around them. These crops are in Lind
sey's gap between Hogback and CLASSY
mountains, on lands we'll adapted to the
growth of the weed. These hardy and
enterprising young men of the mountains
have several difficulties to overcome.
There Is not wagon road to within two
miles of their barn; they will have to
look to Asheville as selling market
unless selling warehouse is put in
operation in Greenville or Spartanburg.

Railway Robbers.

KANSAS Cry, September 3.-The
booty secured by the train robbers at
Blue Springs amounted to only about
$50 in money. Nothing else was taken.
The robbers are described as appearing
awkward and nervous, and evidently un-
used to such work. They were roughly
dressed and had the appearance of farm
hands. Each wore small black mask.
j. II. Andrews, business man of this
city, who was on the platform of the
smoker, relates that when the men ap-
preached the car he thought they we're
tramps. They boarded the second car
as the train was pulling out from the
station, and moment later he started
through for the rear Of the train. At
the rear door of the smoker he was met
by guard, who pointed revolver at
him and called on him to stand still.
He obeyed, and from the doorway
watched the proceedings in the other
cars. The whole transaction, he thought,
did not occupy over FIVE minutes before
the robbers commanded the brakeman to
pull the bell rope and stop the train.
Blue Springs is small station in thick
ly wooded district and situated near
Flendale and Blue Cut, the scenes of
former robberies in the days Of the James
gang. The train, which was due here at,
$50 p. m, was nearly an hour late, and
on its arrival preparations we're made 10
send a special train from here with a
strong posse TO search for the miscreants.
Every effort will be made to apprebend
them.
A Times Blue Springs special says:
"The robbers started Northward from
the railroad, aud posse from town was
soon in pursuit. The men were seen
about the station before the train arrived,
but no particular notice was taken of
them."
The Journals st. Joseph, Mo-, special
says: "a gang Of seven tramps early
yesterday morning took possession of the
South bound freight train on the Kansas
City and St. Joseph and Council Bluffs
Road at Lake Station, FIVE mileu South
of this city, aud held it about three hours.
The train was on the side track, and when
an attempt was made to 90 ahead it was
found that the switch had been closed,
the work of tramps who had been ex.
PEELED from the cars Il few minutes before.
The train men undertook to open the
switch, bit were driven Away by the
tramps, who fred number of shots at
them. No one was injured and the train
men succeeded in capturing two of the
tramps, who were jailed here day;
one gave the name Of Tom O'Brien, the
other Mike Slattery. The former had a
fine gold watch with the name of A. ".
Jones engraved on the'case."

Marrying fol- Money.

| had conversation recently with a
very clever and attractive New York
lady, who, among other misfortunes, was
afflicted with s2,000,000. She said she
would never marry, because she would
not believe that any man wanted her for
any other reason than her gold. "And
what" 1 asked, edo you lose thereby?
If d gentleman takes you because you
are so pretty, the smallpox, a fall from
horse, any accident may destroy your
beauty, and where will his love be if it
is for that reason only he took you! II
another one falls in love with you be-
cause you arc so fresh, 50 young, so live
", time is safe to destroy all that. aud
YOUR hold on him is lost. But it he
takes you for your mouey, you need only
beware of dangerous speeulatlons, ana
YOU will always keep the charm that
brought him to your feet, and you have
nothing to fear?'' "That is one way OF
looking at it," she said, and SO complete
ly did she embrace my oplnion that
barely year after ] received an invita-
ton to her wedding with AN English
nobleman-Tsmple Bar.

Death Without Pain.

A person struck by lightning does not
know it, the fluid being much quicker
than thought. The nerves which con.
vey pain are rather slow in their power
to convey their information. Stick pin
in the tail of an elephant and quite q
perceptible interval occurs before the
noble animal gives his opinion of the
man or boy at the other end of his nerv-
Gus system on trial. Lightning does its
work before the victim knows anything.
Two men we're struck while taking refuge
under tree. Both were carried into a
house and laid out for dead. One of the
men revived, and after weeks of terrific
suffering and in6rmity, he got out again
and is still living. He said that he knew
no more about having been struck by
lightning than he was conscious of hay.
ing lived before the food. 1t was all

three schools three months each, making
nine months employment, at an average
salary Of 1915. It may be advisable to
establish two grades of teachers, paying
the first about s400 and the second about
$3.50.
1t will be noticed that by the proposed
plan the number of teachers will be re-.
duced from 96 to 80, and the salaries in.
creased from an average of S125 to 1915.
This plan is proposed only for those
schools which do not adopt the co-opera
tive plan, which is decidedly the best of
all, and should be strenuously urged.
Under the peripatetic or circuit plan
proposed the board of examiners will
have to determine the number of teach
crs, and who they shall be, at an annual
meeting and examination. The teachers
then who receive certificates will have
assured employment, and must pledge
themselves to go wherever assigned.
Now the manifest advantage of this
system, as already intimated, is the max.
ing of teaching profession in which the
teachers can take pride and interest
and try to improve themselves. This is
what the public school system needs
more than anything else, and any plan
that may have tendency to secure it is
worthy of most serious consideration.
Objections, however, may be raised,
two of which see at once. The teach
ers may regard it as too hard to be sent
around, noleas volens but, more serious
still, the farmers will all want their
school to be taught during the leisure
season, whereas, under this plan, they
will have to take it as It CONES. 1t can
be so arranged, however, to strike the
different communities alternately in the
leisure and busy seasons. But there can
be no perfect human system, and the
only question is, do the advantages out
weigh the disadvantages or not? This
is the question that throw out for dis
cussion, having no pet theory of my
own, but desirous only of hearing the
views of others in hope that a free, fair
and open expression of opinion may re.
suit in some good to our much abused
public school system. If such should
be the issue, 1 would feel fully repaid for
the little trouble [ have taken in pen
ming this humble epistle.
