the farmers Of this country would or
could glut the marts of tho world with
any product and continue each year to
make the plethora more burdensome,
and, therefore, never inculcated in
the base Of civil liberty any clause
forbidding the abrogation of what

EDWARD S. ABEIL.

One of the most popular men in John
ston county is Senator Edward S. Abel,
who haas served his people with fidelity
and with marked ability in both houses
OF the Legislature.
Mr.. Abel is a son of the late J. III.
Abel, one of the foremost lawyers and
most prominen& men that ever lived in
The county. He was born March II,
1858, and was educated at Trinity Col
iege. He read law under his father and
obtained license in 1881, and began the
practice in his home town, Smithfeld.
He was at an early age hustled by his
friends into active politics and has been
at all times one of the most effective
workers ~sor his party in the county. He
was elected Mayor of Smithfield and
held 1T until he just would not take 1T
any longer. He was chairman Of the
Democratic Executive Committee of his
county for several years. He was elect
ed to the House Of Representatives in
'S6 and reelected in 'S8. He was a
Cleveland elector in 1892, and was elect
cd to the State Senate in "a and again
in 90. He has never been beaten in his
county and probably never will be for
the people OF Johnston are fond of Ed.
AbelI and he has special friends in every
section Of the county.
kIE. AbelPs long service as legislator
was of great value to the party this
year. He was aggressive when party
principles were assaulted, and in some
OF his best speeches rose to the eIo-
quence. His speech placing Hon. X. A.
Doughton in nomination for United
States Senator was one Of the best nom
anating speeches | have heard in recent

CHAS f. McPEETERS.

Mr. McPeeters was the efficient and
popular member from Yancey county,
and was one of the best men whose
names appeared on the rolls of the House.
Mr.. McPeeters is a sturdy yoeman of
Democracy, and legislation with him was
question Of grave responsibility, and
not of friyulous pass time He is a
quiet unassuming gentleman, as honest
and as faithful to duty as he is to the
principles of his party. He was one of
the most attentive listeners to every
measure that was read from the clerk s
desk, and it had to be sh0rn Of any I'M
wise, unwholesome or radical clause be-
fore it could ever receive his support.
Mr.. McPeeters watched diligently for
any measure that effected in any way the
interests of his immediate constituents.
and it was mainly through his efforts that
the proposed bill to dismember his coun-
ty by giving one of its voting precincts
to Mitchell was strangled.
He made his people a valuable repre-
sentative, and so long as Democracy can
get men like G. f. McPeeters to fight
its battle or enact its laws, it will live
and. grow in the hearts of freemen and
patriots.

titioner, especially as a surgeon, to which

attention.
DIR. Lyle is q native of Macon county
and was born in the town of Franklin,
February 81, 1861. He was educated

Burke county has many popular,
able and influential Democratic leaders,
and one of them is Mr.. John Ell. Pearson,
the member OF the House from Burke in
the session just ended.
In 1894, to the surprise and chagrin Of
those faithful followers of true De-
mocracy who live in Burke, the old county
swung over into the anti-Democraic col
umn. 1t was bitter pill for the average
Burke county Democrat to have to swal-
low, so they made up their minds that
they would take no more of that kind
Of political medicine. 1t would, every
body knew, take a strong man to solidify
the forces and place the county back into
the Democratic column. Mr.. John Pear
son was conferred upon as the man. Hon
est, capable, conservative and as true to
the reforms demanded by the party at
Chicago as the needle to the pole A
united demand was made upon him to
lead the forces. Like the loyal patriot
that he is, he needed the mandate entered
the race as the Democratic nominee and
won the fight.
He brought with him that steadfast adj
herance to the old time principles Of De.
mocracy upon which this great country
was builded before CIeyelandism was
ever dreamed Of, and he fought valiantly
in the every day sessions Of the House
and in the committee meetings for the
best interests Of the great measures OF

ten minutes. Then she went out by one
entrance and MIR. Hirsch went out by an
other.
Miss Evans went TO the Astor house,
presumably to see her father, who was
stopping there. He was not in and she
waited After a time Mr.. Hlrsch came in.
She wrote several notes to her father and
went away with Mr.. Hirsch. When she
came back she wrote some more notes
and waited. Mr.. Hirsch stayed away
1t was o'clock when her father came
In. He stood at the desk reading her
notes, and she came out of the parlor for
about the hundredth time to see if he had
arrived. She didn't see him at first, and
the clerk had to point Coz. Evans out to
her. Then she went up to him and he
kissed her on the check. The two went
into the reception room. Miss Evans was
nervous and came OUT into the corridor
often.
At last, MIR. EIirsch, suave and compos-
ed as ever, came In and joined his be-
trothed and her father. They talked bit
and then went upstairs to the colonels
rooms. There they stayed until o'clock,
when Mr.. Hirsch came out alone. He
seemed much worried and distressed In
mind. He ordered cab and bought a
drink and then went upstairs again.
Shortly after the three came down. The
colonel and his daughter got into the cab,
and Mr. Hirsch got up on the box with
the driver. They drove to the home of the
Rev. Frank j. Belcher of the Jane Street

cow PEA THE Negroes FRIEND.
A Vegetable Unknown to the North
That Has Many Uses In the South.
From the New York Sun.

From the New York Sun.
The COW pea is not mentioned in the
market quotations and it is not found
among the heaped-up varieties of peas at
the produce dealers. Planters even as far
southwark as the Potomac are unfamiliar
with its merits; but further down ON the
coast, in the Carolinas and in Georgia, the
unpretending little lentn is of consequence.
1t stands for the coin of the country in
certain seasons and is a recognized factor
in the Christmas trade.
In that region when a farmer, white or
black, refers TO the amount of peas he has
harvested, it goes without saying that he
is speaking of the COW pea, and it is the
COW pea that the quail has in mind when
he calls Bob White! Peas riper' so con-
fidingly across the fields. The black-eyed
pea, the aristocratic little lady pea, the
speckled pea, the sugar pea, the garden
pea and so on, may have their special
uses and patronage, but the COW pea heads
them all in sold, practical benefits for
man and beast in that region.
''Peas amt cost you nothin' to make,
like cotton, and dey amt debil you cen de
raisin, like rice" says a black sage and
economist. when you's got a half-bushel
or maybe bushel sack of peas slung
across your shoulder, it same like you got
ham" And he puffs out his withered
cheeks and blows theoretically at the fan
ner full of thrashed peas he Is winnowing
at that moment.
Some people is got grudge 'gainst COW
