Successful Young Farmer.
Statesville Land ark.]

Statesville Landmark
Mr.. E. w. Brawley, an educated and
prosperous young farmer of South
IredelI, tells The Landmark that he
made "a bales of cotton last year at an
average cost of 296 cents per pound.
The "a bales were raised on % acres.
On one tract of s acres he produced 9
bales. Mr.. Brawley, who is graduate
of the University, and is applying his
knowledge to practical farming meth
DDS, says he Kept careful account OF the
cost of raising this lot of cotton and
finds it to be 297 cents per pound.
This includes the seed, which he sold
for 9 cents per bushel. There was an
average of l,51O pounds of seed cotton
to each of the "a bales and the bales
are supposed to average 500 pounds OF
lint each. but as they havn't been sold
they have not been weighed.
Mr.. Brawley's experiment shows
that cotton can be raised at a profit,
even when it is sold at 5 and 6 cents
per pound. Mr.. Brawley says he
counted every item of cost In raising
the cotton except his own time. He
did not make hand but he superin-
tended the farm, and if his own labor
is counted at pretty fair figure be
considers that he made a fair salary
for himself on this crop OF cotton. Mr..
Brawley's father, Mr.. D. C. B1awley,
has long been known as one of the
most successful farmers in South Ire
dell. He made an Independent fortune
by tilling the soil, beginning a poor
man. His son is following in his
footsteps with the addition that he has
the advantage of a college education
and is applying his knowledge to sue
cessful agriculture.

My Earliest Impressions.

given me, some simple bit of work be-

hand. Some one said, "Take the

placing the thimble on a finger of the
other hand, began to sew without its
aid. to the amusement of my teacher.
This trlfle appears to me an early in
dicatlon OF want of perception as to
the use of tools which has accompanied
me through life. remember also
that being told that must ask pardon
for some childish fault, I said to my
mother, with perfect contentment,
ooh, yes, I pardon you," and was sur
prlsed to hear that in this way had
not made the amende honorable.
remember the difficulty of acquir.
ing the tn sound, when my mother
tried to teach noe to call her by that
name. "Muzzer, muzzer," was all that
I could manage to say. But the dear
parent presently said, eff you cannot
do better than that, you will have to

shame of going back moved me to one
last effort, and, summoning my utmost
strength OF tongue, I managed to say
"mother," from which achievement /
was never obliged to go back.

REV. C. J. NELSON.

Gotdsbero Argus.
After brief illness, Rev. Chas. j.
Nelson, in the S4th year of his age, fell
on sleep last night, at IL O'Clock, at his
home In this city.
No citizen Of the seven thousand

the time when Col Nelson was not a

before the city was founded, or ever
was thought of, he was gro Hn man,
a citizen of the old county seat, Way-
nesboro, long since deserted. till no
trace of it now remains to mark even
the place it once occupied.
Col. Nelson was one Of the earliest
settlers to move from Waynesboro over
to Goldsboro. when this city was first
founded, and from that day on through
all the vicissltrdes of its early strug'
giles for supremacy, through the ordeal
of war, the scoufge of Reconstruction
times, the devastation of fire and the
pressure of recurring "hard times" uI
to the day of his last illness, he was
ever an active, moving spirit in the
community. He was the founder O
the Goldsboro Baptist church, and q
regularly ordained minister OF tha
faith, for the promotion of which he
labored zealously from the earlies

SEES WITH RABBIT EYES.
Remarkable Experiment in Surgery
Which May Be Successful.

Observation-Disclosures interest was
taken in two operations just
performed by DR.. G. H. Kohler, on the
blind eyes of a patient. Each opera
ton consisted in TRANSFORMING a por-
ton OF living rabbits eye into the
human organ to restore sight.
The patient was young woman
about thirty years old. whose home is
in North Dakota. She had been blind
in one eye for fifteen years, and in the
other for six years. Both eyes we're
totally blind and these operations were
determined upon as last resort by DIR.
Kohler. It was decided to make the
first trial upon the eye that had been
blind for fifteen years. A number OF
physicians and surgeons were invited
to witness both operations. Many OF
them at first proiessed to be skeptical
as to the value of the operation, but
admitted after the first trial that they
we're convinced that it was signal
success.
The patient was carefully prepared
for the operation, and then, with a
carefully constructed instrument, the
front part of the diseased eye was re-
moved. Then corresponding piece
of the rabbits eye was removed, placed
into the position formerly occupied by
the exclsed portion, the lid carefully
pulled dowr;-and the eye bound so that
not ray of light could enter.
| About week afterward an examina
ton was made of the eye. It present
ed natural appearance, and it wal
found that complete and thorough
union had been effe cted between tht
original and engrafted portions of thu
eye.
The second eye was then prepared
for the operation. An examination
showed that a larger portion OF THU
organ had to be removed than from
the first eye, as the disease was deeper
Every particle of the dieased organ
was removed, and a similar portion
taken from the rabbit. Some day.

rapid and enormous vegetable
growth. The air was laden with carbon,
which is The principal food of plants
so laden, indeed, that man could not
have lived in it. The great humidity of
the atmosphere was another element
favorable to growth. Vegetation never

at root or leaf Then, too, the climate
was universally warm. Over the en-

greater than it is to-day at the torrid

its favor vegetation could not help
fiourishing. The fossil impressions of
more than 500 different species of plants
that grew at that time have been found
in the coal beds.
The most abundant of the plants of
the conforming era were the ferns,
Their fossil remains are found in great
profuson and variety in most of the
rocks of the coal-bearing strata. There
was also the plant known as the "tree

found measuring from 10s to 1870 feet
in length and from six to ten feet in
diameter. There were also pines, some
