Daniel who represents warren county
IN the General Assembly. With other
things it says:
"Mr. Daniel has risen to higher posi-
ton OF influence than is generally the
privilege of new member to reach.
He has been prominent on some of the
most important committees OF the
House. Unlike many young and new
members, he has not risen to glvs his
opinion in q speech on everything de-
batable, but when he spoke he was
heard and his words had welghty in
fuence. We were much gratified
when in Raleigh few days ago to hear
the complimentary remaks made by
older members than Mr.. Daniel. of his
usefulness to his party and watchf III.

sents."

and from there to dwelling near by
Mr.. DAVIS lost his entire shop, tools,
wagons, ETC., with not cent OF insur-
ance. The loss is heavy on him as this
is the second time be has been burned
out In the last seven years. The prize
house was used by R. B. Boyd and had
about sixty to seventy thousand
pounds of tobacco in it, which was in
sured. The building was insured for
small amount. There was small
amount of insurance on the building,
which was occupied by co!ored people
and they saved their household and
kitchen furniture.
The total loss is between seven and
elggt thousands dollars, about FIVE
thousand dollars insurance. It is not
known how the fire originated.

EXIT BUTLER.

Marion Butler no more draws pay
from the United States treasury as
Senator from North Carolina. He
walked out last Monday, not of his own
volition, but because he had to. He
was swept into Office by a tide of in
huence the like OF which is seldom
seen amongst as good people as are the
tree citizens OF North Carolina. But
by some unaccountable means he sue
ceeded In deceivlng large part of the
people of North Carolina as effectually,
perhaps, as any man who ever took the
oath cfflce in such high and honored
place.
With hypocrltal cant but few years
ago he was loud in his Demands" for
such reform as would tighten the bur-
dens of the farmers and under this
guise he duped them into honorlng
him far above measure in the Farmers'
Alliance. Seeing his opportunity he
pushed his own interests until he was
finally chosen as Senator to succeed
the able and urbane Ransom.
As to what he has accomplished dur
ing his term of Office little has been
known and perhaps less recorded but
let it be remembered long after his
name would otherwise be forgotten,
that one of the last things recorded OF
him As United States Senator, was the
notice he gave of the amendment Tor
raising salaries of Representatives and
Senators from S., 900 to 81 500.
How does this accord with his loud
demands for reform seven or eight
yea rs ago in the interest OF the dear
people?
: Alack Alack that his insincerity
could notbe discovered by those who
: pushed him into place. But whether
they will admit it or not, Buffers iavor.
ing the raising of salaries is Just az
much Tor. the isterest of the people ii
anything he has ever projected. He
has always studied his own interest and
has cared naught for that of o theirs.

A TRIBUTE OF REMEMBRANCE,

Raleigh Post.
Halifax, n. c., March l, 1901.
Mr.. Thomas Bragg Wilcox, second
son of the late DR.. NJ. A. Wilcox, was
born on the 18th OF March 1850, died
the 10th of February, 1901, of pneu-
monia, after an illness of twelve days.
The funeral services were read by Rev.
L. G. Grady and with others of his
family he was laid to. rest in the old
historic church-yard near the river. He
leaves to mourn his departure five
brothers and three sisters, and host
of sorrowing, sympathizlng friends.
The true characteristics of mankind
are net always easily and rightly de-
fined f; yet with the one who has re-
Gently passed away there was never a
more courteous man devoted to home
and to family, truly loyal and friend
to all who knew him, than the late T..
B. Wilcox. Never did one seem more
universally liked than he, and never
was there one who had no enemies such
as he.
A p1an of utmost honesty and integ.
rity, true and markedly conscientious.
A loss felt by community, friends and
family, totally without one to fill his
place. The news of his death came
suddenly and shockingIy to all who
knew him, and then, in last and final
respect, notwithstanding the inclem-
ency of the weather, the people never
theless, in true and heartfelt love at
tended the solemn and religious rites
of the funeral. This lone fact shows
In itself the realization of the loss of a
highly intri nsic man but their grief
and sympathy with the family show
in more marked degree their true
feeling for the one just fallen to sleep.
We grieve, but the inevitable must
come. Gcd knows better than we !;
our finite minds fail to grasp the wise
directions of the Infinite, and in our
weakness We feel crushed by ignorancs
of the wise directions that are dealt
out by one Supreme Head OF the uni
verse.

HOW TO MAKE A Bale AND A
HALF TO THE ACRE.

Mr.. B. Weathersbee many years
ago lived near Scotland Neck where Mr..
w. T. Joyner now lives, and later moy-
ed to New Berne. There he was quite
successful in his farming operations,
and under date of Feb. 10, 1875, wrote
Mr.. P. E. Smith, of this place, some
particulars of his methods of farming.
Mr.. Smith has permitted us to read
and Gull from Mr.. WeathersbeeIs letter.
Among other things he said that land
which made halt bale of cotton
to the acre in 1870, in 1874 made a
bale and a halt. The seeds planted
were Of a superior quality, and he gave
the following plan of work:
"First, thorough preparation OF
the land-breaking it deep. Make all
the compost possible, using stable ma
nure and cotton seed. I use cotton
seed altogether. Lay off deep rows 8
feet 9 inches or 4 feet wide. Put in
compost, cover with, one furrow,
sprinkle mari on that and let it lie so
until ready to bed up-do that just be-
tore planting. I used 200 pounds
phosphate per acre. Put commercial
fertilizers in deep. It does not exhaust
itself so soon. I rolled my seed In the
same and planted last week in April.
"second, the cultivation should be
as shallow as possible. I find no pillow
equal to the Dickson sweep. The OBJ
ject of cultivation is to keep the top
coil stirred of uniform depth, from one
to two inches, and as often as possible.
I leave from one to two stalks, ten to
twelve inches apart. I do not plant
more than rs acres to the pillow. Al
much or more depends on the manner
and extent and preparing and manur-
ing soil and the cultivation than any.
