the merchants who delight In benefting

The gold leaf. [volume] (Henderson, N.C.) 1881-1911, 1900-05-31
This is Sensible.
(Greenyille Reflector

The editor Ct the Reflector IS not 4
farmer but he believes that if the
farmers would cultivate Just half the
number Of acres that they do, and
put all the fertilizers and labor on the
smaller number Of acres that they use
on the larger acreage, that they would
reap Just as good results and make
Just as large crops. In other words,
we believe that if the fertilizers and
labor that are scattered over twenty
acres Of land were concentrated upon
ten acres, the ten acres would yield
as much as twenty. One mistake the
farmers make is in planting and try
ing to cultivate too many acres. We
believe they could make their cotton
land produce bale to the acre, and
their corn land make twice as much
per acre, and at the same time save
much labor and expense, ii they would
plant fewer acres and fertilize them
highly, instead Of scattering the same
quantity Of fertilizers over too many
acres.

The Peninsula Bank OF "iiiiams"u's
Entered by Robbers and the saie
Blown to Pieces.

williamsburg, Va. May 2i.-Our town
was thrown into a state of great ex-
element this morning when it became
known that the Peninsula Bank had
been robbed about o'clock In the
night and its safe almost completely
blown to pieces. The doors, which
weigh several hundred pounds, were
thrown some distance across the room
and the bank fixtures wrecked, WINDOW
glass broken, books and papers scat
tered in every direction. The job was
done inside of half an hour and was
the work of professionals. There were
four Of the robbers, all masked. One
kept watch On the outside while the
others did the work. The bank safe
contained 5000 of their own, about 500
in money and $3.50 in stamps belonging
to the postoffice which is in the sane
building, and a quantity OF 1eWelry
valued at s25G0, belonging to Mr.. Ar
thur Denme2d, one Of the directors.
How much has been taken will not be
known until the insurance agents ar
rive and make an examination The
bank will lose nothing. They were fully
insured. A great deal Of the money
was damaged by the explosion and can
| be seen scattered around the room,
and possibly the stamps and jeWeiry
may also be in the debris. The explo-
sion was heard for blocks away, but no
one except those residing in the imme-
date neighborhOod thought it came
| from the bank. Several of the neigh
| bors hurried at once to the bank as
| soon as they heard the report, one gen.
| tleman, Mr. w. T. Powell, a guest at
! the Colonial Inn. being the first to ar
| rive, and not being armed vas seized
| and the muZZle of q pistol thrust into
his face. He was ordered to keep quiet,
| which order he obeyed. Mr.. Powell
| was tied hand and foot and left lying
| on the ground when the robbers took
| their departure. He, after considera bic
| work, released the cords from his feet
| and went over to the hotel, where he
