A NEW INDUSTRY.
A Davie Farmer Tries Raising Sun
flower Seeds for Market.

flower Seeds for Market,
There is one man in Davie county
who is hopping mad, and he is puzzled
to know whether he wants to be kick
ed or wants to kick some one.
This particular man is farmer,
and i'll addition to tickling the soil he
caters to the needs of his neighbors
who substitute sugar for "long sweet
ming" and indulge in such luxuries as
| coffee, white sides, store clothes, etc.
In other words, he combines agricul-
ture and merchandise, and has made
| a success OF both-up to the present.
| What is now disturbing the peace
| full spirit of the aforesaid gentleman
| is this: Some time ago he received a
circular from a Northern concern de-
| picting in glowing terms the ease of
| making a fortune by raising suni1ower
| seed for market, and setting forth
| that the demand would be great this
| fall at big prices. He turned the mat
ter over in his mind, and finally de-
| cidcd to try it. He ordered seeds
| When they arrived he was at loss as
| to where to plant them.
He had nice tobacco patch of sew
| eral acres, nearly ready to top. That
was the very spot of ground. Tobac-
co was low and Improbable, and he
| would plOw it up and convert the
| field into Suntlower farm. He did
| so. The Sunfiowers fourished and
now promise an abundant harvest. So
| far all is well. But few days ago, in
| response to letter of inquiry from
| him, the firm wrote that the sunflow-
/ er market was dead as Scotch her
ring; that he had gone into the game
| just little too late, and the best
thing he could do was to ship the
| flowers in their freshness and beauty
to Oscar Wilde.
The man is mad, and he says if he
ever gets up with the sonOfagun who
sold him sunflower seed he will make
it exceedingly hot for him.

A Negro Row in Wilkes.

There was quite lively "scrap" in
Wilkes county, last week ago, in
which a wife-beater came to grief.
Harrison Mitchell beat and ran his
wife away from home. His son Jim,
who had lately returned from the

up to see the old man about it. He
was cursed by his father and struck
with an axe, receiving an ugly cut on
his hand. He stepped back, drew his
pistol and shot three times, each TAX
ing effect. While the wounds will
not necessarily prove fatal, he is in a
critical condition. Jim has skipped

A PLOT FOR A STORY.
The Remarkable Career of a North
Carolina Convict.

Governor Carr has pardoned VIM.
Garren, penitentiary-convict whose
case is sensational enough to furnish
a plot for a story.
In 1880, at the age of seventeen, Gar
ren was convicted of horse stealing in
Henderson county and was sentenced
to ten years imprisonment. He serv-
ed eighteen months, and then in a
daring way escaped.
He walked all the way to Georgia.
There lie located at Talking Rock and
established an excellent reputation
and served as policeman. He accumut-
lated some property and five years ago
returned to North Carolina on visit,
was arrested and has since served in
the penitentiary.

CoIored Brothers Fight.

An occasional row seems necessary
to the well-being of the average ne
gro, and Yadkin county seems to be
productive of her quota. The last we
hear of is fracas between two broth
ers, By and Bog Glenn, which resulted
in BY filling Bog's face and breast
with shot. Bog afterwards fired two
shots at By, but his aim was not good
and BY escaped unscathed and made
himself scarce in that locality.

Not many men in the late war rose
from volunteer private to major
general, as Rusherford B. Hayes did.
In politics, in the early part of his
career, he was one Of the most
victorious OF men. Three times in
the contest for governor of Ohio he
defeated the ablest democrats in the
party-trst, Allen G. Thurman in
1867, next George II. Penleton in 1886
and again William Allen in 1876. But
he was never the same man after his
presidential term. The incessant
and bitter attacks on him. which
continued from 1875 till his death
made so painful an impression on
him that he retired from politics
absolutely at the close of his term in
1881 and never afterward made a
political speech. The death Of his
brilliant and accomplished wife some
years ago was another blow from
which he never recovered. Mrs
Hayes was his companion much ol
the time during his army campaigns
His death from neuralgia of the
heart is such as might have come tt
man who had suffered much from
trouble Of the mind.

David Dudley Field lays before the
public his plan of settling the labor
question. 1t is, in brief, that the
state shall pass a law making busl-
ness corporations divide their
capital, consisting of the value OF
their buildings, money, machinery,
etc, into small shares-Mr. Field
himself suggests S. as the amount OF
one share, so that their workmen can
become purchasers of some of the
stock. He believes this would recon-
cile the interests of capital and labor
in such way that there would be no
more trouble. Mr.. Field, being a
lawyer, ought to know, however. that
laws amount to little without a
public opinion to back them. II he
and the other apostles OF reform
would 60 on mission OF educating
both employers and employed up to
the point were each is willing to give
the other fair chance, then his law
compelling corporations to cut up
their stock into small parcels might
stand some chance of enforcement.

he was scrupulously careful to keep

Russia for aid and comfort against

known better than to offend Den

The absurd custom Of devoting a

member months after his demise still
continues. After most of the coun-

Jifkin ever lived his colleagues take
a day to recount his many virtues. If
it must be done at all, why not at
once9 The only explanation is that
possibly it takes FIVE or six months
for his fellow members to find out he
had any virtues.
