soME THOUGHTS ON FARM
TOPICS.

The Charlotte Observer saws that
since the sixth of last November the A.
7. & o. Railroad has hauled lie. 600
bushels Of apples out Of Taylorsville.
And 1.-The end is not yet" The apples
are shipped in car load lots. This 10
but one instance Of many to prove the
reality OF the revival of interest in hOr-
ticulture here in this State. Let the
good work go N. If our people were
to quit the one crop system, and have
their crops as diversified as is u
States soils and climate, the Old North
State would soon be near the head Of
the procession.
Elsewhere in this issue we publish
some sensible resolutions passed ct q
massmeeting Of Cleveland county
farmers. It will be noticed that they
resolve to reduce their cotton acreage
next year one,half, il possible" OF
course, it is possible.
The farmers of Saluda county, South
Carolina, also know a good thing when
they see it. They held a meeting re-
Gently, at which the following Fesolu-
ton was adopted:
"ResOEVed, That the members OF
these clubs are earnestly requested to
emphasize, at their meetings, and in
private conversation, the Importance
Of producing on our farms an abund-
ance Of corn, meat. wheat, syrup and
every other customary article of food
for ourselves, and, in this way, to cut
down largely the acreage usually
planted in cotton, and make ourselves,
to a great extent, independent Of that
staple"
The beauty Of all this is that these
resolutions are practical. They are
passed by farmers at the suggestion Of
farmers, and are not merely the bah
blings of an Office seeker-babblings
babbIed for political effect.
When we talk of producing our own
supplies, some people fancy we mean
to discard all modern machinery and
work entirely as farmers did in the
days before the war. Not 80. On our
farms We should have all the improved
farm implements and machinery. And
where it is not possible to get supplies
IN the farm, let Us patronize home in
dustries; quit shipping our wool and
cotton North and buying it back in
manufactured goods at exorbitant
prices; quit shipping our hides and
leather to Massachusetts and New
York and paying their capitalists a
tribute on every pair of shoes we wears
quit buying all our corn from Iowa, or
wheat from Dakota; in short, quit do
ing a thousand and one other foolish
that r injuring US az farmers,
as North Carolinians, and as laborers
and anti nonopoIists.

FOUND DEAD BY THE ROADSIDE

We condense from the Lenoir Topic
the following account of an awful
tragedy near Lenoir last Tuesday:
"News was received here by tele
phone from Patterson, about ten o'clock
yesterday that a one, horse wagon was
found by the side of the Turnpike and
the dead body OF a woman close by.
The wagon, horse and driver, it is sup
posed, had tumbled of the road in the
darkness of the night before and the
woman had been killed in the fall. The
horse was not badly hurt and was till
hitched by one trace when found.
The unfortunate person is Mrs. Fur
guson, of Petra Mills, widow Of the
late Smith Furguson. Her sors, Mes
srs. Will and Pomery, reached Lenoir
a little after dark lest night night.
They procured a ccmn and proceeded
on their sad mission. They will secure
the remains and bring them back to
the old home to day and will buy them
at Dudley Shoals, near where she lived.
The reached the scene about
six o'clock Tuesday night, held an in
quest. and the verdict was, death by
accident" In the fall her head had
struck a log and then been struck by q
log and then been struck by the wagon.
bed. On her person S1s Al were found.
The body was taken up the mountain"

BELIEVE III.

From personal observatl 6ns we be-
lieve that the recent attacks on Senar
tor Butler b cause of alleged statements
of his in his Rocky Mount speech, have
done him much more good than harm.
Our readers remember the extract
from the Rocky Mount Pt oenix, pub
lished in our last issue. The Truckers
and Planters Journal, of Chadbourn.
also a non partisan paper, has this to
say concerning the Rocky Mount yarn:
I'VE think the Democratic press of
the State has now gone to the limit In
its effort to mRlign Senator Butler on
account Of statements attributed to
him in his Rocky Mount speech. His
denials made through the Caucasian
are complete and every fair-minded
man will accept them. We don't be-
lieve Senator Butler used the language
in the form attributed to him, and we
don't believe that the Democratic press
of the State believes that he is capable
of such language. The attack is simply
a deluge of political billingsgate, wbicn
is becoming very disgusting to all de-
cent people,"

a TRAIN WAITED.

When a woman will, she will" says
a railway engineer, whose breezy talk
is reported by the Chicago Times
Herald. He was employed upon a
Southern railroad, and had many odd
experiences. One day, at a junction,
q woman approached the engineer and
asked him to hold the train for five
minutes or so, till her daughter should
arrive. The engineer assured her that
he could not do it; but the event
proved that he was mistaken. The
truth of the old saying, "Whet has to
be done can be done," was here again
proven:
II don't see why" she expostulated.
II think you might do a little thing
like that"
tried to explain to her that trains
run on schedule time, and like time
and tide, waited for no man, or woman
either, or that matter. But she wouldn't
have it, and finally, just as we were
about to start, she shouted Indignantly
"Well, I'll just see about that"
laughed, but soon ceased to laugh.
For what did that old woman DO but
get right on the track about three feet
in front of the engine. She set herself
there, firmly grasping the rails with
both hands.
The conductor signalled for me to
90 ahead. as u stop was over. But
/ couldn't do it as long as she remained
on the track, for I should kill her Ger
tainly. I called to the conductor. and
he, impatient at the delay, came up.
I explained the situation to him, He
was as mad as l was, and going up to
the woman, told her to get off the
track.
81 just won't, " she replied, until my
daughter gets on board your train"
He pleaded with her, and finally de.
clared that he should be compelled to
use force.
"Just you darel" she cried. "IT
sue you for damages if you dol"
This opened a new complication, and
we reasoned with ourselves whether we
had better remove her by force. Just
as we had determined upon a course of
procedure her daughter came up and
the old woman on the track,
kissed her good.by and got on the
train, while her mother called to her:
"Go ahead, Mary Ami You have
Of time, though, for I will sit on
the track until you get on board"

LIQUID SMOKE FOR MEATS.

Smoking meats without fire has
proved such a decided success that
even those who were disposed a few
years ago to make light Of the idea are
now using Krauser's Liquid Extract Of
Smoke. The liquid extract does away
with the risks and Inconvenience az
tending the old smoke house process.
Meat smoked by the new method has q
genuine. delicious smoke flavor, IL re-
mains moist and in q perfect state OF
preservation and is not infested with
insects. The extract is made by dis

and IL fs absolutely harmless. The

ABOUT CONGRESSMAN LlNNRY

The Washington Post has been writ
ing up the members of Congress. OF
Mr.. Linney, of the Eighth North Caro-
lima district, it says:
"A figure equallyMpcturef que on
the Republican side of the chamber is
that of RomuIus z. Linney, of North
Carolina. He is an old time country
lawyer fresh from the mountains, and
he carries the breezes of the mountains
with him. He looks like a Virginian
OF the time of Patrick Henry. With
Roman features, rudy face, and long,
curling iron gray locks, he personifies
intellectual ability and physical vigor.
Aroused in debate, he reminds you of
Judge Baldwip's d~elineations of old
fashioned lawyers in the "Flush times
of Alabama" Quaint, incisive. dis
cursive, apt, antique, unique, and per-
sistently original, he tears the House
up by the roots whenever he addresses
it. It resembles a circus in q town off
the railroad.
warming with his argument, the
mountaineer Congressman is bathed ia
perspiretion. His shirt collar willis,
and his wrist bands melt. In his ges-
ticulations he swabs his face with his
pocket handkerchief, adding emphasia
to his argument by the very sWabbing.
His words we'll to his lips seemingly un-
hidden, ard r uttered with rapidity
and precision. There are thunder.
storms and vivid flashes of lightning in
his speeches, but soft tropical skies and
golden sunsets follow them. Anon the

mastery summing up, topping it of

regains its composure.

louisville that he was discharged from
the service. His preparatory school
for Congress was three terms in the
Legislature of North Carolina. For,
tunately, or unfortunately, for him he
is a member of the Committee on Mec-
tions and of no other important com
mittee. All his speeches have been de-
livered on election contests. They are
in line with his law practice. He an
alyses the evidence and addresses the
House as he would address a North
Carolina jury. In this session, how

his abilities in another feld-one in

"MorHRRP MCKINLEY.

The recent deaN ot-President Nc
Kinley's mother, Nancy Allison McKin-
ley, makes the following item which
we clip from the Detroit Free Press, of
March 10, 1897, more interesting. This
was but eight days after the inaugura,
ton of her son as President:
MRS. William Mckinley, ST., is the
.happiest mortal in America. She has
seen her SON take the oath of office as
President of the United States, and her
cup of joy is filed. Mother" McKin
ley has been the cause of as much
solicitude and regard since her arrival
inTWashington, writes a correspondent,
as has been the new President himself.
She is democratic enough 70 suit the
ideas of ven the most ardent admirer
Of Andrew Jackson. The reception
committee had provided a wheel chair
for her at the depot on her arrival in
town, and when she was told it was for
her use she waved it aside contemptu-
ously. take that thing away" she
exclaimed. "IguessI am able t walk"
when I see my son President Of the
United States" she said ON Wednesday
10 q friend, II will have realised the
best that there is in life for me, and I
shall then die happy" Mr.. Mckinley
has captured Washington and all that

responses to every manifestation of re-
gard and admiration shown her by the
people, and has been remarkably self
possessed and cool in the midst of sur
roundingB calculated 20 perturb the
mind Of a person used TO trying situa-
tons far more than is she. There has
been as much demand to see the veneer
able lady who gave the nation it's new
President as there has been to see the
President himself. 1t is a question
which is the happier, Mother" Nc
KiRIey or her distinguished and hon
ored son."
Dispatches from Canton, O., her
home, state that Mrs. McKinley's maid,
IN name was Nancy Campbell Allison,
was born at New Lisbon, O., in 1909,
and her family originally came from
Eugland to Virginia, thence to Penn
gylvania, and finally settled perma-
nently in Ohio. She was married to
William Mckinley, sr., Jap.6, 1929, and
was living In a two story frame house,
still standing near Niles, O., when her
distinguished son was born, Jan. %,
1913. The removal from Niles to Ma
honing county, raj prompted by a
desire to give her children an academic
education.
Mrs. Mckinley was a woman of sterl-
ing qualities, frugal, industrious and
pious. Her patriotism was strong and
passionate, and her intellectual power
had been truly wonderful. Her hus-
band died Nov. "a, 1892. Like the
mothers of Garfield and Grant, she
lived and rejoiced to gee her son Presi
dent of his and her country.
