AN UNUSUALLY WET YEAR.

The present season, and indeed ever
since last summer, has been one of the
most unfavorable for farm or outdoor
work in long series of years.
Mr.. T. B. McClain remarked the
other day that there had been but two
straight weeks without rain since last
July, and Mr.. w. M. Faulkner, of
Kings Creek, confirmed this on Mon
day by designating these weeks. One
was the first or second week in No
yember, and the other was Christmas
week.
During all this time there have been
but very few days on which the
ground was not too wet to plow, and
and that is why there was so much
less wheat sown in the county than
the farmers intended to sow. 1t is
also the reason why farm work is so
backward now. Mr.. R. ]. Davis, of
Zeno, said on Monday that he does
not remember year in which so little
work had been done up to this time.
People are beginning to hope now
that at last the weather has become
settled again. If this hope proves to
be we'll founded, then farm work will
at once be pushed with all possible
energy in every part of the country,
and within few weeks, perhaps, the
farmers will again have their affairs
pretty we'll in hand. But they have
been having a bad time of it during
the past six or eight months. There
is no question of that fact.

Mr.. John Barrett, young business
man of Rock Hill, died on Monday

effects of an overdose of morphine.
He had been on prolracted spree and

vicinity, and it was only by quick and
positive action that the boy was gotten

Judgment or Sentiment?
Pineville correspondence of the
Charlotte Observer: A good deal of
interest was manifested in the school
debate last Friday, as North Carolina
and South Carolina were pitted against
each other. The query was: IKE
solved, That North Carolina is great
er state than South Carolina The
affirmative was held up by two good
Tar Heels, Miss Grace and Will Younts
and the negative by Miss Clara Boyd,
a native Pennsylvania, and Laurers
McAlpine, native South Carolinlan.
After splendid debate on both sides,
the Judges decided that North Carolina
had won. The children then sang

Appeal to State Board.
The case of the the trustees OF school
district No. ii VS.. Teacher w. Z.
Seaple in re the Evans school chart,
recently decided by the county board
in favor of Teacher Seagle, has been
appealed by the trustees to the state
board of education. The case involves
several points of interest, and all con-
cerned are waiting patiently for the
decision of the state board. 1t seems
to be conceded that the trustees have
right, if they see fit, to make the
teaching of the school chart condi-
tion precedent to the original contract
