The nominees on the tnlrd parry
ticket In Forth Carolina seem 20 be hav-
ing some trouble already, one having
been arrested for using protane Ian
guage in the pOstoflice, another for
carrying concealed weapons, another
charged with clipping with his wlfes
sister, and another with stealing hog
from widow woman during our late
war. trust that these grave charges
will be refuted az an early date.
Senator Vance has many agricultural
ideas In common with my own. HIS
watermelons mature ia October SO do
mine. He has been unsuccessful 10 per-
iecting coreless BAKED apple from
Seeding trees. So have l. His worm
less apple for train use has never
reached maturity. Neither has my own.
But vegetables generally have done
well In both cases. We had an album
dance OF all truck from the garden, and
Irish potatoes that would DO more for
home rule than oil the enthusiasm and
arnica OF those political meetings aud
stellated fractures 10 Ireland, where all
Joint discussions are held In the rum
Joints Of that liberty loving island.
Gombroon is i handsome summer
home built OF native timber grown on
the place, cut on the place aud hauled
by the Vance mules, Peter and Repeter.
TO little mill down the Branch, where
the timber was sawed, dressed, kiln
dried and prepared for the building. In
digging for the foundation a bed OF
beautiful building sand was found, and
q quarry of.exce.ient stone was struck
within four minute walk Of the house
and a little above IL, so that with sione
boat and the speckled steers, Eyether
and Nyether, Senator Vance easily
hauled IN q few days stone enough 10
build the foundation OF tho house.
Mhe builning is finished In the very
Justly celebrated woods OF North Caro-
lima, and may be allowed az this point
TO speak, hope, OF the lack OF enthusi-
asm shown In the collection and prep
aration OF such things for the big fair
from this State. IL IL doubtful II any
other State In the Union has such an
unbounded wealth OF beautiful woods.
and yet tremble when / think what =
feeble showing il bids fair 20 make az
Chicago. Nebraska, which Is magnih-
cent AGRICULTURAL State, but not celebra-
ted as q timber State by any means, will
furnish the 81 900 hammer with handle
OF Nebraska woods with which 70 drive
the last nall In the woman's building.
Why conldnt North Carolina, with
every variety Of staple and ornamental
wood covering the entire Blue Ridge 10
this State % depth OF 50 % 100 feet,
nerve herself up 70 supplying the handle
OF such a hammer She would not feel

Gombroon, with is oaken stairs and
halls, It's ceilings OF curly popular and
maple. It's rooms finished In cherry and
mountain mahogany, It's liosary with
massive dark beams OF native wood and
oaken floors, IS good advertisement OF
what there is lying untouched and IN
developed In what Professor Guyot says
IL the most magniicently wooded noun
tain range ia the world.
Mr.. Suite, % whose mules We were
Indebted for delightful ride OF eight
miles up % GombrO0n, said that tho
estate embraces COO acres. / believe.
which gives the senator's pigs feeling
OF perfect freedom that Is entirely ab-
sent IN the lliiterate but arrogant hog
OF the c0ngested metropolis.
The Vance hog may be known az once
by the fash OF his eye and the firm,
erect and defiant tall. HIS face Is long,
and thoughtful, but there Il an elias
ITCHY TO his step which reminds one OK
the antelope, the sprIngook or gazelle..
Senator Vance began life and grsdn-.
ally worked his way up 20 congress,
where be had nothing 20 do from morn
Ing till night but legisate IN the Inter-.
ests Of good government daytmes ahd
answer letters Of constituents a. night.
As young lawyer be attracted the
attention OF the court by bis CraggJ
nountsin methods Of settling matters
with opposing counsel. "Wiil yoa step
ontside and repeat that remark" he
would say 10 q low tone 70 counsel, mo-
tloning over his shoulder with bis
thumb. Then, II counsel said yes, tney
would slip out quietly and IN an expsrts
method arrange the matter, returning
later with from two % four eyes closed
and resume the trial.
One OF his earlier cases was faken %
Mr.. Vance on shares or 90 the baiyss,i
be 70 receIve 50 per cent Of the Jnas-
ment for bis work. His client during
the trial developed into person cflmi-,
nalIy liable and under the old statute
a verdict Of fifty-ssyen lssnes.
Ever since that Mr. Vance has accepted
no cases except az IN agreed price. he
.ras afraid that he might deprive some
nooy man or MS family Of the lAshes
mar they needed for the winter.
