CAROLINA EXPANDING.
Our State Gets the Best of Virginia in
the Boundary Dispute.

Raleigh Press-Visitor.
DR.. Watson, of Warren county, a
member of the commission appointed
by Gov. Carr to settle the boundary
dispute between this State and Vir-
ginia, is in the city on visit. DR..
Watson is just from the boundary line,
where the commissions from the two
States have been working jointly in
locating the line.
DR.. Watson reports very severe
weather in the Eastern section of the
State, where they have been engaged
lately. The commission has located
the line bordering the counties of
Hertford, Northampton and Warren
in North Carolina, and Notaway coun-
ty in Virginia. They are now running
the line between Vance county, North
Carolina, and Mecklenburg county,
Virginia.So far the line has been loca-
ted for a distance of so miles; 80 more
miles remain for the commission to go
over.
DR.. Watson says North Carolina has
got the best of the division so far. At
the present rate the voting population
of the State is being largely augment
ed each day.

WILL TEST 1T.
Legality of the Lease of the North
Carolina Railway.

Legality of the Lease of the North
Carolina Railway.
The State Farmers Alliance has at
last taken the step of instituting suit
to test the legality of the lease OF the
North Carolina railway to the South
ern railway. 1t is most important
case. When the Alliance was in ses-
sion last August, at Cary, the direc-
tors OF the North Carolina railway
met at Burlington, made the lease,
and ratified it within twenty four
hours. The Alliance at that time
desired to institute Injunction pro-
ceedings to prevent the lease, but was
Informed by a lawyer that it would be
ter days before the ratification would
take place, so nothing was done until
it was too late. Ex-Judge Schenck,
Spier Whitaker and Charles A. Cook
now appear as counsel for the AL
lance, and file motion for the use OF
the Attorney Generals name in the
nature Of quo warrantO to annul the
lease and repeal the charter of the
North Carolina road. The matter
comes up before the Attorney General
at Raleigh next Monday, as he must
pass upon the question of the use Of
his name. 1t is not thought he will
do this unless Governor Carr, Presi
dent Alexander, and the directors of
the North Carolina railway are rep
resented before him. The action the
Alliance takes is proceeding against
the Southern railway.

THE RAZOR BACK HOG.
He Makes the Sweetest and Most
TOothsome Meat.


Toothsome Meat.
One of Winston's we'll known busi-
ness men, who for many years resided
in the Eastern part of the State,
where the oldfashioned raz9r back
hog roams, remarked not long since
that the improved stock porkers were
not in it for sweet. toothsome meat.
His views are endorsed by DIR. Kings
bury, of the Wilmington Messenger,
who says:
The best way, as the Messenger has
more than once urged, is not to raise
tae huge porkers, but good average
hogs. 1t has gone farther and favored
the old-fashioned razor back breed,
veil fattened, and because they make
tue sweetest, most toothsome meat.
i North Carolina there has been a
decided advance for two or three
years in hog raising. This fall and
winter our State exchanges have
given encouraging reports as to the
hog crop. 1t looks as if the farmers
and others had done better in 1895
in this business of raising home meat
than in any previous year since the
great war ended. That is right 1t
is one of the ways to independence
and prosperity. Make your own hog
and hominy, and plenty of it, and
when you tire of it try "bacon and
green's" and after that the delicious
iOwl and turnip salad. To increase
the variety try to learn TO prepare
Boston beans, but do not omit to add
the piece Of pork.

AN AGED woMAN.ARREsTED.
The wife of Nathan Shores, of Yad-
kin County.


The Tilden (Yadkin county, CORES
pondept OF the Statesville Landmark
writes 10 that paper as follows:
Mr.. 3. g. edward, whose mill was
burned some time ago, and who is re-
building, always thought that the fire
that destroyed his mill was incendiary.
At last the secret is out, and in conse-
quence heretofore honored citizens
are in trouble. Mr.. Coward has been
tracing this matter for some time
but quietly, so other parties thought
it had completely died away, when
papers were issued for the arrest of an
aged lady Dy the name of Mrs. Rhoda
Shores, the wife Of Nathan shores,
mother of Eli Shores, the latter the
great liquor dealer of this ne1ghoor-
hood.
Mrs. Shores was given a preliminary
hearing and bound over to the Super
ior court of Yadkin. In default OF
bond she was committed to Jail. On
Saturday she gave bond and was re-
leased until court. Eli, her son, it is
thought, started to run away and got
as far as the railroad and heard of his
mothers trouble and returned to aid
her. 1t is not thought that she did
the act herself as there is good evil
dence as to others, and other arrests
will be made as soon as possible.
The cause of the burning is thought
to be on account Of sickness, as the
mill pond covered several acres and
consequently caused chills and fever
for several miles around. But burning
the mill had no effect Cn the health of
the community, for since the burning
the pond has been there and still re-
mains, and as the new mill is nearly
completed, it is evident that the pond
will remain for some time yet.

LIG iTING THE YULECIDE LOG.
An Old English Custom That Has Not

A custom at one time prevalent in
England, and still observed in some
of the northern districts OF the old
country, is that of placing an i'm

root OF great tree-in the wide
chimney place. This log is often
called the Yule log, and it was on
Christmas eve that it was put on the
wide hearth. Around it would gath

was the occasion of "a great deal OF
ceremony. There was music and
rejoicing, while the one authorized to
light it was Obliged to have clean

served for the purpose. A poeUslngs

seat themselves in front of the
brightly burning fire, and many a
