SENATOR VANCE's REMAINS.
His Son Writes Another Letter About Their
Removal by the Widow.

The leading North Carolina papers Fri
day published long correspondence from
Mr.. Charles y. Vance, sol or Senator
Vance, relative to the removal by his
step-mother OF the remains OF the latter.
Mr.. Vance closes his letter in these
words:
Il hope my fathers friends throughout
the State will understand and appreciate
my position in this, TO me, most unhappy
controversy, and pardon the earnestness
and flial affection which impel me 70
strive 10 carry out his wishes and often
expressed desire When It is remembered
that in his early life, when the red morn
ing was breaking on his young m1nhOOa'S
vision, he had a companion, who, Ike
hin. was just entering upon the worlds
stage OF action. who shared his hopes,
his ambitions. his sorrows and his JOYS,
who went hand In hand with him through
sometimes Of triumph, sometimes years
Of adversely. years sometimes Of plenty.
some times years OF penury, who was lot
undu.y elated by the one nor cast down
BY the other, but with Christian faith
and heroic forlitude. trusted I'm a Divine
Providence FOR the best; she, whose klth
and kin had been his warm hearted and
loyal friends, whose blood was mingled
with the blood OF those whom, I'm the
dark and trying days OF the late war, he
had clothed, defended. cheered. and pro-
tect.d while they were fighting for the
honor and glory OF their State his wife.
resting in a lonely grave near the scenes
OF her early married life, is +, TO be Won
Gered at. or thought strange. that he
should express the wish and the desire
that when he. too. should he laid to rest |
among the mountains he loved so well. |
that the bride OF his youth and the |
mother OF his children. should rest by his /
side? Such was his wish, such was his /
desire and row that he is dead and can /
not act for himself ! intend TO act for |
him and see that his request is complied |
with.
This IS my apology for what I have

ory.'
The Raleigh News-Obsorver thus edi-
toriallv refers 20 Mr.. Nance's letter:
"Apropos OF Rev. Mr.. Nances cOmmun-

Senator Jarvis Writes . Strong Letter Urg-

The Raleigh News-O Observer publishes n
letter from Senator Thomas $. Jarvis to
Mr.. F. NJ. Simmons. chairman OF the
North Carolina Democratic Committee.
urging the nomination Of United States
senators by primaries. Senator Jarvis,
in concluding his letter, says:
II am aware of the fact that there has
been n suggestion that such course "a

objection. l do not believe there is any

a party can be disorganized by letting the
voters themselves say who shall be the
candidates Of the party. On the contrary.
] believe that such a course on orr part
will tend to unite the party ana restore
confidence on the part OF the people in
our methods and our efforts to ascertain
and execute their will. There is a feel

tion, showing our sincerity In the matter.
will give us rs n party great strength

For myself, / wish to be on record

Democratic voters as to who shall be

managers agree with mo, as hope they

The Maidcn's Necklace

The little maid was fan to make herself
\ necklace fine.
As silv'ry as the moonlights silv'ry
Or as the river when the moonbeams
shine.
And so she asked the river: Speak, Wilt
Give ne thy waves that in the moonlight
And then she went and asked the moon:
"Wilt thou
Give me rky glance?"
"Not 80. the moon replied. because the
Ny glance doth need"
"Not So" The river answered her, FOR /
Must keep my waters for the thirsty
mead"
The little maid was fam TO make herself
necklace fine:
Then said the sons Of men: Come, take
To fashion this bright silver chain OF
thine
Then each one gave her his most precious
tears,
And glad were they
To deck the maidea's throat; and all the
tears
Thus whispered low together, and did say.
whence art thou. sister, from what
heart dost Gomez
Then each one told the grief that did be-
Her parent heart, and each one thought
herself
Saddest Of ALL
SO now the maiden had her necklace
bright.
More silvery than yonder rivers wave.
Or glance Of moonlight yet when she put
on
That necklace brave.
The tears all told her whence they came
and grew
So heavy, that beneath the burden sore

Seed Potatoes.

1t is Of prime importance in success
full potato culture to secure MS nearly
perfect seed as possible. A very good
plan Is to select seed as you take the
potatoes from the hills in the fall. But
If it is not done then, the seed supply
should be secured before storing the
crop away for the winter. Select well
developed potatoes, with smooth sur
face and free from scab. Medium sizes
nre best, as these are more npt to he
well lipened and more nearly perfect.
If, however. the vines have been kept
growing until all the tubers were fully
ripe, the smaller ones make us good
seed as any. The important thing Is
to get ripe tubers. We have always ad.
tised storing in out-ofdoOr pits, covered
Just enough to keep them from frecZ'
Ing. If there Is danger Of an early
thaw in the spring it might be well 10
cover the pit with layer Of straw.
Seed potatoes should not be kept In q
cellar. The eyes will start before
planting season and much Of the sub.
stance of the seed will be lost.

Len-.,, OF Life Am,n= WON en.

1t appears, according to the regis
tration report of Massachusetts,, that
nearly twice as many women as men
in that state live to be over 50 years
of age. This is accounted for by
the greater exposure OF men to acci-
dents, to weather agencies, to the
constant strain OF business life, to
the anxiety of providing for the
family. all Of which tend to shorten
the life of men. The deaths by
accident among men are moro thar
threefold greater than among womer
and men commit suicide in about a
threefold ratio as compared with
women
