cts the other half" he cried. And
the son of soldier leaped to his feet.
''Now I shall know"
He went straight to his grandfather,
and showed him the two matched frag-
ments.
''You have been very good to me-" he
said, "but that woman was my mother.
My mother is living, and not dead. She
was with my father when he died. You
got that knapsack somehow, but she had
saved half of the letter which had been
cut in two by the bullet that gave him
his death wound. And she has never
asked you for anything, though she
might have asked you for much. Now
I ask for her. Where is she?"
And the grandfather told. He was
less bitter to the woman who had sent
his son to the war, since she had soothed
that son while he suffered. So that the
judges home received a sweet-faced
woman who reaped in years of loving
companionship the reward Of self-de-
NAL that had lasted from the day she
left new-made grave in the Wilder
ness, and found her toddling son had
been spirited away.

CREAMERY SITES.
Some Things Without Which There
Ii No Chance Of Success


The large number of creameries
which are now building makes it worth
while to give a word of caution in re-
gard to the selection of sites. A great
many creameries prove unsuccessful
because the expense account is too
large. This account may be materially
affected in the choice OF site. In the
first place there must be roads con-
veniently leading to it, and they must
be good roads. If there is trouble in
this respect the most distant patrons
will drop off during the season of bad
reads and the output will be reduced,
while the expenses do not diminish.
In the next place, it must be well
drained. We do not say that good but
ter cannot be produced in creamery
situated on low, undrained ground, but
we do not believe that owners suf-
fciently unwise to locate creamery in
such a place will usually be wise enough
to overcome the difficulties which they
thereby create. And if they do, it will
cost lost of money and increase the
expense account.
There must be never-failing and
abundant supply of pure water. With
out this there can be no chance of sue
cess. Fortunately, the requirements in
this direction are not too large to be gem
orally attainable, but sufficient sup
ply is essential. Finally, the factory
should be so situated that the milk
should flow by gravity wherever it is to
60. A side hill presents obvious adj
vantages in this respect, but when that
is not possible it will usually pay to
construct a plank incline. When the
milk is loaded on the wagon the
cheapest way to elevate it is by horse
power. A milk pump is not an easy
thing to keep clean, to say nothing Of
the cost of hand or steam power TO run
it.
A factory thus located will attract
patrons, and the more milk it receives
the more profit for all concerned.-San
Francisco Chronicle.

SLAVE TO HIS COWS,
But His Slavery Brings In Many Dol
lars and Cents.

lars and Cents.
The other day a farmer said to me,
says E. L. Vincent in National Stock
man: "You are slave to your cows"
The conversation which called out this
remark had developed the fact that fed
my COWS three times day putting them
in at noon for that purpose and letting
them out again ON pleasant days to drink
at well just by the barn.
Now, was compelled to admit that
it was some work to give my cows this
attention. I know, also, that there are
those who think it unnecessary to feed
more than twice a day. But my ex-
perience is that it is better for my stock,
at least, to give them a ration at noon.
They expect it and are not contented
without it, they certainly do we'll under
this treatment. I never had sick cow
in the spring Of the year, and my herd
looks we'll and does well through the
season.
A man whose COWS always look as
thin and gaunt as hounds in the spring
looking at mine last year said No one
could tell whether your cows had come
into milk or not; they look plump after
coming fresh. Mime never do" or
course feeding three times day is only
part of the care give my COWS in the
winter time. I need not say that try
to keep them warm. This means that I
do not leave them out on stormy or
windy days. I do not intend that there
should be any cracks i'm the floor or sid
ing of my stable to let in the wintry
winds. try to feed literally. By this
mean I give my cows what they will
eat up clean, and no more. This re-
quires study for each individual cow. I
try to vary their diet so as to supply the
needs of the cows to best advantage.

HANDY FEED BOX.

the fall will more than pay for the out
lay and the trouble. The sketch shows
handy feed box. Put it on the inside
of the pasture fence, so that the grain
can be put in through the boards from
the outside. Put Stats on, as shown,
far enough apart so that the calves can
put their heads between them, but so
near that the old stock, if in the pas
ture, cannot reach the box. The Stats
also support the box and hold it in

ly Harold had great deal of time on
his hands. One day it rained, and he
crept up to the attic with a book of adj

dragged out crumpled old knapsack
which he had never seen. He loosed it's

It bore these words:

s.Those that live in glass houses should

Had Judge w. S. OBJ. Robinson, Of
the Fourth Judicial district leas1led the
lesson taught by this homely but an
Gent saw he would not now be the logi-
cal advocate Of his own impeachment.
At the September term of Wake coun-
-ty court he delivered charge to the
grand jury that created a great sensa-
ton. In that charge were these words:
sTF YOU FIND YOUR JUDGE
COMING TO HIS COURT ON A

DUTY TO PRESENT THE MAN

BE THE DUTY OF THE LEGISLA-
TURE TO IMPEACH THE JUDGE.

The people of North Carolina applaud
ed and said well done good and faithful
servant, when these words were utter
ed; the newspapers all over the land
copied them and commented fayorably
UPON them.
Now comes another chapter that will
not be such pleasant reading to Judge
Robinson's friends.
He has been himself riding on a free
pass.
In proof Of this there is now in the
Wayne county court house a sealed paper
presenting the Southern Railway and
Atlantic Coast Line for giving passes to
Judge Robinson and family.
At least this is what l learn from a
Goldsboro man who is in position to
know and whose veracity cannot be
questioned.
The next term of court there will
prove the truth of his statement, as well
as the wisdom of the adage that those
who live in glass houses should not throw
stones.
And thus it goes Russell, Butler
Worth, Aver, Robinson-and the Lore

pURvIs WILL HANG TOMORROW
The Governor Yesterday Refused Ii
Commute His Sentence.

Commute His Sentence.
Tomorrow, at Dunn, in Harnett coun-
~, Edgar Purvis, a negro tramp, will
hang for murder.
Governor Russell yesterday refused a
petition for Communication of his SEN
tence to life Imprisonment.
Purvis was condemned to die for kill
ing Flagman Blackwell, of the Atlatic
Coast Line last August. He was con-
victed of murder in the first degree at
the fall term, 1897, of Harnett Superior
Court and sentenced to be hanged Oc-
tober 18th, 1897.
On October Sth, on account of the
physical condition of the prisoner, who
was said to be apparently in dying con-
dition from injuries received by being
struck by train before his capture, and
in no physical condition for the judg-
ment of the court to be executed, the
Governor reprieved Puryis until We'd
nesday, November 18th.
The petition yesterday laid before the
Governor asked a Communication of the
sentence on the ground of newly dis
covered evidence since the trial, also
because of the physical condition Of the
prisoner.
IL VIII Ue Ludl young
Blackwell was 1agman on the Coast
Line train, and that at Mingo Swamp,
two tramps We're put off. Blackwell
was standing at the rear of the train,
when one of them, Purvis, fatally shot
him. Rewards were offered and Pur-
Wis, the murderer, was caught, convict
ed, and sentenced to be hanged on the
18th OF that month.
A very material witness who heard
the whole quarrel did not attend the
trial. This is Mr. II. II. Chamberlain, of
Goldsboro. He claims to have been in
a position to hear distinctly the words
of men before the shooting. He says
the two men Blackwell and Purvis)
were standing in the shadow of the
train when a man stopped-supposed to
be Purvis-and speaking to Blackwell,
said, Don't hit me with that spike;
what do you want to hit me with that
spike for? / am off (the train.) And
don't you draw it on me. Get up on
there. -ou WON'T eh. Then, -
you, take that"
He then Immediately fired his pistol,
the shot from which killed Blackwell.
This would make it murder in the
second degree.
