SOMETHING ABOUT OLD TIMES.

Mr.. Ransom Ryals is eighty-two
years old-one of the oldest men in
the county. He lives with his son,
Mr.. Nathan Ryals, two miles from
Benson. 1t is very interesting to
talk with him of old times and of
politics fifty or sixty years ago. He
remembers when Henry Clay wa
before the people and many things
that people said about him. Along
then the ginger cake was on hand at
every public speaking and every
court. These cakes were about ten
inches long, five inches wide and one
inch thick. There We're persons here
and there who were specialists in
cooking them. The cake dealers
usually had chests in which to. carry
them to the speakings. They sold
at five cents each. Mr.. Ryals re-
members when the nearest postoffice
to him was at AverasbOrO, a distance
of about Is miles. It then cost
twenty-five cents postage for a letter.
The people then used no cast plows.
There were blacksmith shops in
every neighborhood and the black
smiths travelled from one shop to an
other and made and sharpened
plows. There were no free schools
then and but few schools of any
kind. Some of the schools were
taught in churches, workshops and
dwelling houses. Mr.. Ryals attended
a school taught in an old blacksmith
shop. He is greatly in favor of edu-
and thinks we need some, leg
islation along the line of compulsory
Herald.

LATEST NORTH CAROLINA CROP BULLE-
TIN,

Cotton made favorable progress
during the week it is quite generally
reported to be fruiting we'll, although
the weed is small some early bolls
T opening in Scotland county +;
complaints of rust and shedding are
comparatively few. Young corn
looks fine and is caring we'll; many
farmers are cutting old corn, which
was ruined by drought, for feed in
preference to pulling the fodder.
The rapid growth of tobacco caused
by the sudden abundance of moisture
last week has made the plants rather
rough and coarse in some counties 4;
the condition of the crop continues
to be very diversified too much late
crop was planted curing is progress
ing favorably.
Minor crops continue in good con-
dition, especially field peas, peanuts,
and sweet potatoes. A fine crop of
grapes will be gathered canning and
drying fruit is becoming a favorite
way of utilizing a portion of the
abundant fruit crop in North Caro-
lima. Melons are fine everywhere.

BUTLER NOT THERE.

Populist National Executive Committee
Minus It's Head-Fears That He May Take
the Bit Between His Teeth and Attempt
to Prevent StevensOn's Nomination.
CHICAGO, August 9,-The Populist
National Democratic Committee held
two sessions here to-day, but cOn-
trary to expectations Senator Marion
Butler, of North Carolina, the Chair
man of the National Committee, was
not present, and no one seems to
know whether he would come to
Chicago for the meeting. Harry
Tracy, of Texas, was the only other
member of the committee who was
not present.
The committee discussed inform
ally the withdrawal of Charles A.
Towne, the Populist candidate for
Vice-President, but the members did
not fix upon a date for the calling
together of the entire National Com
mittee. The Executive Committee
has no power to the vacancy. This
must be done by the National Com
mittee, and it is apparently expected
that it will meet before long and Sc
lect Adlai E. Stevenson as the Popu-
list candidate for e-President.
There seems to be a good deal of ap-
prehension among the members of
the committee in regard to the atti-
tude of Senator Butler on the Vice
Presidential situation, There has
been a strong rumor to the effect that
the North Carolina Populist would
take the bit between his teeth and
insist that a Populist be named for
Vice-President on the POpulist ticket.
It is said that a member of the com
mittee takes the other view of the
situation and believes Mr. Bryan will
be able to win over Senator Butler
in case the latter takes an antagonis-
tic stand regarding the selection of
Mr.. Stevenson. j. G.. Johnson,
Chairman of the Democratic National
Committee, was in conference for a
short time with the Populists.
