AFTER 90 YEARS.
Spartanburg Lady Heir to $500, ,o0O-That
Is the Report and 1t May Prove True.
LSpartanburg Herald, 10Th. !

Yesterday it was reported on the
streets that Mrs. Carrie + leming, of this
city, widow of the late Rev. w. II.
Fleming, had, by the death ofa revela-
tive in the North, fallen heir to half a
million dollars. The Herald has gath
cred the following facts in regard to the
matter:
Just ninety-nine years ago, wealthy
resident in New York city named Ed
wards, near relative Of Mrs. Carrie
Fleming, Of this city, died. At the
time Of bis death for some reason be
desired that none of his immediate fam-
lily should share in his estate, so he con-
tracted that at his death all the prop
erty he owned in New York city, con-
sisting of twenty-five acres of land,
much of it already improved along
Broadway and Wall streets, should not
be sold but leased for term of ninety
nine years. This was done and it is
said the record of the transaction is
completed.
Mr.. Charley Hoke, a brother-in-law
of Mrs. Fleming, is equally interested,
and is now is New York pushing inyes-
LEGATIONS. Their attorney, Judge Wyck-
life, of Walhalla, is also in New York,
and as the lease will expire this year,
they will take steps at once to recover
the property.
Mrs. Fleming was a Miss Martin, Of
Greenville, and it is through her
fathers relatives that she is connected
with Ed wards. It is estimated that
in the event this claim is established
the share of each of their heirs will
amount to something over half mil
lion.

Connecticut's Smallest Baby Dead.

NoRwALK, Oct. n.-Connecticut's
smallest baby is dead. 1t passed quietly
away last evening and was buried this
morning in a miniature grave near its
home. The midget was girl, and its
parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Rafael Baroleo,
live in big tenement on Chapel street.
Mr.. Baroleo is an italian, and his wife
is pretty Irish girl. They were mar
ried four years ago. The husband is
shoe dealer and is the proprietor of a
prosperous little business on Main
street. When his child was born it
weighed nine ounces only, and on the
day of its death, two months later, it
weighed less than pound. The baby's
head was smaller than a league base
bali, and its legs were so small that an
ordinary finger ring could be slipped
over its foot and passed mp the leg to
the thigh. The arms were no larger
than pipe stems. The midget fed on
milk from spoon, a few drops only
being all it required at time.

Land Poor.
1DOver JOurnaI,7


Thousands of farmers are 'land poor"
and will remain so to the end Of their
lives. How absurd it is to pile up
treasures in many more times land
than can be properly operated. The
wise and happy men are those operat-
ing small farms to their fullest capa-
city and enjoying life as they 90 along.
Holding on to a section or two may or
may not be good thing for ones chill
dren or grandchildren, but it certainly
keeps many mans nose to the grind
stone continually. The Humber of acres
properly worked that will Insure the
old folks good, comfortable living,
allowing them to take trip or some
sort of recreation once every year or
two and g small surplus over the cost
Of educating their children, is the size
farm to have. Many men who could
easily be we'll to do, however, prefer to
be always head4~and ears in debt in
order to add more acres to their a!read Y
too large holdings.

A delightfully."- dainty kind of farm
ing, more elegantly Rthestic than grow
ing lilies in Bermuda and almost as
profitable as raising checks and bank

of giant oaks Mr.. Hopkins has five
acre patch of violets Of the rarest and
most beautiful varieties-double whites,
double blues, sky blue, and one variety
which is blue with faint dot Of red on
one of the petals. The violets are
planted in rows two feet apart, and
under the cool shade and in the leaf
mould soil they attain perfection. For
six months year the grower ships an
average Of fifty punches of violets daily

Prof. D. B. Bushy, A. NJ, President
Of the Emory High School, writing to
US on a matter of business, has the
following to say anent the Butler-Wat-
son debate at Batesburg:
II am pleased with the position OF
our two papers at the County seat on
the Butler Watson and kindred SUBJ
jects. Men of proven efficiency like
Senator Butler, whose services have
always in peace and war been at the
call of the country, deserve something
better than seems to have been shown
at Batesburg. In these perilous times,
the highest hopes of the country seem
to me to consist in strict adherence to
Democratic principles, to which the
fundamental principle, of the sub
treasury scheme are evidently diametri-
cally opposed.
Very truly yours,
D. B. BUsBY.

gresham preacher and farmer, Mr..
BAKER. 1t was asserted by many of
the new Congressman's enemies that
he was what is technically known as

farmers candidate brought out much
adverse criticism from the opposition.
While it is possible that Mr. Baker
is not an active farmer there can be no
doubt about his daughter beirg eligible
to a seat among the Alliance people.
Miss Hannah is now runninga farm Of

caring for it for several years.
She located and entered it herself,
and has done all the hard work on it
for the last four years. She is but
twenty-four years old, yet she takes a
mans part and does mans work.
She has woman hired to help her,
and in the heaviest season of work em.
ploys man to assist in cultirating the
40 acres which she has brought to q
high state Of excellence. Miss Baker
goes to the field 10 a mans garb and
ploughs and sows, attending to all the
duties usually followed by g. man, and
has made money ever since SIZE began
to do the work. She has never been
compelled to borrow dollar, and to-
day owns the farm, debt free, with an
enormous crop on it.
She had the farm we'll stocked at the
beginning from sum of money she
has been saving since she was a little
girl. She raised chickens and sold
them during her girlhood and reIi-
giously put the money away until she
mad enough to give her a good start.
and then she took the farm and made
her start. She now has 14O acres under
cultivation and % acres in a wood pas.

stock.
She was unfortunate enough last
week to be bitten by a rattlesaake e while
ploughing new piece of ground, but
by prompt attention she soon recoy-
cred, and is now at work again and
says it will take more than 8 snake to
stop her from working.
