Time is Money

Few questions are Of more i'm
portance to the young person
than the question of the amount
of time to be spent in getting an
education There is little doubt
that old time courses and methods
were WaSteful Of both time and
energy.
The independent normal schools
We're the first institutions 90 plead
for shorter, richer courses Of
study, longer school years and
more intense application. Three
years Of forty weeks each, with
out long holiday vacations and
numerous examinations, devoted
TO intense study will do far more
for a student than five or six
years Of thirty weeks each, inter
spGrsed with frequent holidays
and vacations. 1t is not the time
Il bullet travels that gives it
striking power but the swiftness
with which it moves. just SO in
education. The young man or
woman educated in IN institution
where the very atmosphere is
fraught with energy and where
each student is bending all his
power to the accomplishment OF
his purpose has a wonderful adj
vantage over those who spend
some six years at tasks which
could be accomplished easily in
half the time.

principals Of independent normal

but IN dentistry, medicine and
business as well.

Baptist Witness)

The souls Of the brethren are
greatly disturbed because Of this.
Possibly there is no religion SO
loathsome to the generality Of
the people as mormonisn. The
past has made it so. Up to 1887
its teaching Of polygamy made it
detestable. Since that time the
doctrine that one man may have
more than one wife has not been
taught as a tenet Of this church.
Then, it will be remembered, the
United States commenced vigor-
Gus measures against the practice
Of polygamy by them. They re-
sisted at first, but soon found
that resistance would be useless.
Their President, Mr.. Woodruff,
accordingly issued a pronuncia-
mentO against the doctrine. If
any of the Mormons observe
polygamy now they do SO secret
~ and in apparent disregard to
the aforesaid pronunciamento. 1t
is believed by many that this
document is all a blind and that
many Mormons adhere to the
Objectionable practice.
Since Joseph Smith, Of Fayette,
Seneca county, New York, found
ed this society, in 1880, it has bad
a checkered career. Men have
hated it not merely because they
have disagreed with it's religious
opinions, but because of what
they have regarded as dangerous
in it's organization. So strong a
civil power did it become at
Nauvoo, before it made it's home
in the far West, that it resisted
the civil authority through it's
President, Joseph Smith. He was
jailed for it and lynched by a
furious mob of Genti'e's. This,
now that polygamy has been pro-
hibited, appears to be the real Oh
lection to the society. Were it to
become numerous enough to Sc
cure control of the United States
government it would doubtless
make short work of the rest of US.
How should Mormon missio-
naries be treated? This is a ques-
ton which troubles some people.
Of course decent men are opposed
to having them in their homes
from the fact that they cannot
trust them on the question of
polygalny. They doubt whether
they should endure their presence
in their neighborhood. In some
localities they have been expelled
on threat Of personal violence.
We would not go this far. Even
if we did not believe in the tolera-
ton Of all SectS, we would oppose
anything like persecution, for
nothing fosters an Objectionable
belief like prosecuting it's follow
ers. Our own religion owes
much Of its rapid growth in the
early centuries to this. Nor
would we counterance anything
like continued exposure of the
heresy from our pulpits, for the
same reason. 1t is not proba BILE
that sensible people will be de-
luded by it's missionaries. Those
who do accept such a faith must
do so il the face Of reason and
Scripture. When it is seen to be

Fl MAN TO TRUST.

I went to Poughkeepsie once with
with another lawyer and a detective
in plain clothes, who was escorting a
prisoner who was TO be resentenced
there. The prisoner was shackled to
the detective. They sat in the seat
ahead of that occupied by the other
lawyer and myself.
The train stopped Is minutes at
P~oughkeepsie for lunch, and in order
not to expose the manecled prisoner to
a curious crowd I suggested that we
sit in the car for a few minutes after
the train had stopped, to allow the
passengers to alight and go to the
lunchroom and then go quietly to a
carriage which awaited US. The others
agreed, and we sat still.
A nervous passenger who had ridden
in the same a with Us from New
York and who did not know that one
Of US condemned criminal wished
to get out for lunch and thought it ad
visabie to ask some to keep an eye
on his hand baggage in MS absence.
He hesitated until he saw only four Of
us left. Then he approached and looked
keenly at each of US in turn. After a
close scrutiny Of our coun5enances he
leaned over, tapped the prisoner on the
shoulder and said:
Evil you be good enough, sir, to
keep an eye on my baggage while l
get a bite to eat9"-New York Herald.

NEW FACT OF HISTORY.
Captain John Smiths Party Was Not the
First to Settle at Jamestown.

captain JOQQ Smlbu 8 EaEIy w 80 4SOI VIC
First t. Settle at Jamestown.
Year by year the apparently most
substantial facts of history are being
d~isprov8n. The world was a short time
ago startled by the discovery Of arch
biologists that beneath the ruins Of the
ancient Assyrian city of Nippur,
thought to be the oldest city in the
world, there lay hidden another whose
antiquity far antedated that Of the one
with which they had long been &C
quainted.
This was astonishing and starting be
cause Of the ruthless manner in which
it upset our old established chror Ology,
but a discoveryfjust.made by Hon. Wal
ter Clark, of this State, Associate Justice
Of the Supreme Court, will be Of far
more immediate interest to the people
Of North Carolina and Virginia.
John Smith and his companions were
not the fist settlers at Jamestown.
Astonishing as is this statement,
Justice Clark has apparently every
proof, showing that nearly SO years be-
fore the expedition OF Sir Walter Raj
eigh landed at Roanoke Island, and 81
years before John Smith landed at
Jamestown, the Spaniards made a set
Element on the identical land that after
wards was occupied by the English al
jamestown.
This Spanish colony consisted Of 600
persons, men, women and children,
with priests and physicians, horses
and cattle.
It is strange that Alexander Brown,
of Virginia, the scholarly author OF
browns Genesis of the United States"
who had access by permission of the
Spanish Government to the royal ar.
chives pertaining to the early settle
ment Of America, should have failed to
discover the fact brought to light by
Justice Clark.
Dayton, the leader, died of malaria.
Civil war broke out, and after a year
the colony named San Miguel was
abandoned. It's very existence was
unknown even to Bancroft, but recent
researches in the naval library at
Semancas, in Spain, unoarth the rec

colony, which aDtedated ST. Augustine

TIE ~ WHIPPED.
Wire Ties And The Alliance Boycott
Did It.

Col. D. P. Duncan, manager of the
State Alliance exchange, yesterday
afternoon returned from Washington,
where he has been for several days on
business of great importance to the cot
ton growers of the State. He went OF
to Sumter IN the afternoon.
Col. Duncan, it will be remembered
led the fight made last year in many Of
the southern States. particularly in
South Carolina, against the fag cotton
tie trust, introducing a wire tie which,
after a big fight, the importers were
forced to accept. Before the season
was out thousands of bundles Of the
wire ties were manufactured and sold
all through the South. many of the
growers boycotting the fat tie trust
which had had them at it's mercy so
long
Colonel Duncan has found from his
visit to New York that the farmers
will have no more trouble about the
tie trust. Several companies have
gone to manufacturing the fat ties on
a large scale and they are now Offering
to purchasers all the fat ties that thew
can handle at Is cents a bundle less
than the actual wire used last season
The progressive farmer. [volume] (Winston, N.C.) 1886-1904, 1897-05-18

could be bought at. In other words,
the prices have fallen until the fat ties
can be purchased at Is cents less per
bundle than the crude wire to be made
into the ties can be bought at.
While the fight made against the
trust was thought by many to be USE
less, the above statement Of facts seems
to show that it was exceedingly efec,
tive. No doubt there will be general
rejoicing among the cotton growers OF
South Carolina at the result. -Colum'

NEW RIVER, ONsLOW COUNTY,
NORTH CAROLINA.
Addeudum.

Correspondence Of The Progressive Farmer.
HIGHLANDS, N. @.
In your valuable paper Of April 9th,
I attempted to show facts relative to
New River, in Onslow county, n. O.,
and referred to it as one among the
most valuable rivers in the State, if
not in the United States Of America.
The Queen of Sheba said to Solomon
in speaking of the greatness and
grandness Of his wisdom, his court and
his kingdom, that the n half his
greatness had not been told; that he
exceeded the fame that she had heard
Of him in her own country"
Just go about New River. The one
half has not been told. In order to
satisfy yourself, do like the Queen Of
8heba did; come and see for yourself.
Solomon imported gold and silver,
ivory, apes and ~peacocks. The Q 1een
of Sheba evidently came from
! Africa, and King Solomon gave to
the Queen Of Sheba ell her desire,
and some writer's refer to this as an
evidence that in Central Africa there
is a race superior in color and inteili-
gence to all other Africans, and the
123h chapter of Numbers states that
Moses had married an Ethiopian wo-
man, the very best evidence in the
world that she vas black. She was
not the Priest Of Means daughter,
that is evident, and Moses was an ex,
pert on polygamy. But I will let that
go, unless some Bible rec0nstructionist
desires to tackle me on it.
lem ct loss to find language, para
graphs and sentences to draw g pic
ture of facts and impress it upon the
mind Of the reader as to the beauty,
utility, and great blessing that God
vouchafed to man in giving us this
great inland sea in Onsiow, called New
River. When I consider ita mex
haustable supply of fine oysters, trout,
salt water fish Of every variety, crab,
sea turtle, diamond back taraping, por-
poise, aliigatOrs, duck and wild geese,
and It's branches where fresh water
fish abound, and where the shad and
behring's come in the spring of the year.
And when I consider these abundant
blessings and remember that they were
given US by the Great Creator, and
that His first words to man we're, BE
fruitful" 1 am lost in wonder and love
TO Him-He who sits upon the Circle
of the Earth and rules all things,
Near the inlet of New River, on
Browns Banks, open to the sea breeze
which sweep the Atlantic Ocean from
the island of Cuba to North Carolina
is located a hotel, a resort for those in
summer who love the salt water bath
and the cool, refreshing sea breeze;
and in winter for those who eat crabs,
oysters and fab and who delight in the
sport of shooting wild duck and geese.
Near by, on the main land, in Wolf
Pitt district, the wild deer Of the forest
are found in abundanCe-more 80 than
in any other part Of OnsloW-all of
which invite pleasure seekers to visit
Onslow. The steamboat runs almost
daily from Jacksonville down the river
to the sea and the fare is but q trife to
go and come. We invite you to visit

take a boat-ride on New River and

sleep a few nights at the hotel on the
beach. Come! bring capital and your
improved farming implements; buy
land and locate i'll Onslow county,
N. c., and we will receive you with
open arms and give you a hearty shake
of the hand and tell you to enter and
be at home and one Of US, to help de-
velop the unbounded wealth Of this
highly favored county, for we need at
least ten families where we have n
now. There is room and cheap land In
an abundance. We not only have a
river, but a railroad also. The Will
mington, Newbern & Norfolk Railroad
goes directly through Onslow, thus
connecting our wealth and people with
the outside world. The high, steep
banks on New River in some places
are from ten to twelve feet high, washed
by salt water. Such is the case at
Bay View, where Mr.. Wegtbrook and
Dock Porter have a nursery and
strawberry farm started. The place
is laid eff into blocks and streets in
order to sell lots and begin a town
there. It is open to the river and Stones
Bay, and right in the oyster garden
station of New River and only about
three miles from the railroad. A branch
of the road is expected to reach the
new town, the right Of way and the
road now being trimmed out, but the
grading has not yet commenced. This
is proof that, sooner or later, the ship
ment by rail of oysters, fish, straWber-
ries and fruit will be forwarded from
the new town of Bay View. Shoal
water gradually deepening as you go
out for three hundred or four hundred
yards is where the oyster gardens are
laid eff The channel being near the
middle of the river prevents steamers
or sail vessels from coming near the
shore in order 80 put passengers or
freight on or off. To remedy this,
Wharves are built out a long ways,
four hundred or five hundred yards,
by driving down posts and covering
Glem W1GQ plank, anu Lneg are "A05
enough to drive a horse and cart on
and turn to get goods or put on farm
products at the edge of the channel.
It is a wonder to the writer why
CLAIMS do not grow in New River. They
do we'll in Bogue and Cero Sounds and
in places in White Oak River; but do
not grow in New River. A few years
ego New River had many porpoise in its
waters, but of late years they are sell
dom seen there.
The railroad enables the New River
men to send the fnny tribe and
oysters a kiting. It's q nRvigable river
and helps us. If the bar does sand up
the railroad won't. Alligators are
found in New River ten to twelve feet
long. Alligator skins are valuable,
A pair of boots of them sell for $40.
Send the hides to Boston to a proper
house and soon they are tanned and
made into boots, and you get a fancy
pair. Time would fail me to tell you Of
