TIE COMMONWEALTH was little
surprised to note the foregoing of Edge
co,nbe farmers, for the farmers OF
Edgecornbe are regarded as perhaps
the most up-to-date farmers in Eastern
Carolina.
Bat the fact holds good with Edge
coube farmers as we'll as with farmers
anywhere else, that they cannot pros
ner unless they raise their farm supplies
at home. We had occasion to make
some observations about two weeks
aero Of farm work in more than one
community, and one of the wisest things
we saw was small farmer cleaning his
corn crop Of grass before he did his cot
ton crop. He said he can eat his
corn when it shall have matured, but
he can't eat cotton.

LESSON FOR FARMERS.

Lun1be.ton Robesonan.
We think we see that one lesson at
least should be learned on the farm
this year. Plant fewer acres. Too
rnany have more blowing and hoeing
On hand than they can do. Il takes as
much work to cultivate a row of corn
OR cotton that will yield lees as it takes
TO cultivate one that will yield more.
If two bales of cotton can be made on
two acres why cultivate four acres to
make them. The chopping of cotton
brings the tug OF struggle. II wet
weather comes there is great trouble TO
the oyer-cropDed class. There IS no
reserve Of l:,horers to draw upon In
emergencies. There ought not to be.
Every rnsp should have work enough
to do OF lis own either in the cultiya-
ton OF bis own crop or the crop OF
sonooaody else as hireling. We must
learn TO put all our manure on fewer
acres and Increase the yield thereby to
Wha; could be realized If 1t was spread
out en- mere acres. One stalk CT cot
con must be made equal in yield to
three. Labor Will be lessened, and the
farmer will become more Independent
and happier In his work. In, perhaps
most cases there is large percentage
OF land on our farms that needs rest
Let this be sown in peas for many good
reasons, and till the remainder only.

| ton, and He was regarded by the pro.
fession at the time of his death, as the
peer Of any lawyer in North Carolina
Realizing that the law Is a jealous
mistress, he deyoted his life with great
application to its study; and, possessed
of a mind fitted by Inheritance and
study, he became deeply learned in
the law.
The only Office ever held by Mr.
Burton, was soon after his admission
to the Bar, when he filled Tor two
years with great credit, the Office OF
Solicitor of the Inferior court of Hall
fax county.
While pronounced IN his convictions
he never cared for political life, pre-
ferring the sure rewards that came
from close pursuit of his profession.
He believed in justice as a divine
attribute, and lived the upright life OF
follower of the Savior of Men.
Some years ago, he moved from
Halifax to Richmond, but after an
absence of about year, he returned
to North Carolina, and located in Ral-
elgh, and lived there until December
9th, 1900, when he was called to his
eternal reward.
Those of this Bar who knew him
and Logged him, felt that great lawyer
and counsellor, a true friend, and d
Christian gentleman, had gone to rest.
Therefore be it Resolved:
I. This Bar, whose members have
been his closest associates, desires to OK
press its grief aud regret at the death OF
Robert O. Burton; that this county
has lost one of its ablest sons, and
the State citizen who had honored
the commonwealth.
II. That this tribute of respect be
presented to the present term OF the
superior court OF Halifax county, with
request that the same be spread upon
the minutes of said court, and that the
clerk of this court send copy of thes e
resolutions to the family Of the deceas-
ed.

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES FLOOD.

Charlotte Observer.
Bluefeld, w. Va, June 23.-This
entire section has just been Yieited by a
flood the extent of which in all proba-
bilities will equal or exceed that OF
Johnstown in 1889, so far as loss OF
property is concerned. Early yesterday
morning, shortly after midnight, a
heavy downpour of rain began, accom-
panied by q severe electric storm, and
steadily increased In violence until 10
O'Clock in the morning, then ceasihg
for several hours and beginning again
with renewed violence. This continued
throughout the entire day and night
and at 10 o'clock this morning, while
the storm had abated, the lowering
clouds indicated another terrific down.
pour at any moment. Many miles of
the Norfolk & Western Railroad track,
bridges and telegraph lines are en-
tirely destroyed and communication is
entirely cut of west of Elkhcrn, SO that
1t is impossible to learn the full extent
of the loss of life and property, but
officials OF the coal operations located
in the stricken district have sent out
messengers to Elkhorn, the terminus
of both telegraph and railroad COM
munication, and have received a re-
port that conservative estimate as to
the loss of life will easily reach 200.
Some of the drowned are among the
most prominent citizens of the coal
fields.
The Pocahontas coal field is loca ted
in basin, with high mountain ranges
on either side. Elkhorn creek flows
through the centre of the basin which
ranges from one fourth to one mile in
width. From Ennis, w. Va, to Vivian
Yard, w. Va, a distance of ten miles,
miners cabins, coal company commits
saries ard coke plants line this basin.
Elkhorn creek, being fed by numerous
small streams coming from the noun
tain sides, rises very rapidly and this
waterspout came so suddenly that the
entire basin between the mountain
ranges was flooded and before the ter
ror-stricken people realized what was
upon them they were carried down by
the flood, which swept everything IN its
path.

senger train No. of the Norfolk &
Western Railway reached Vivian Yard,
the western terminus of the coal field .
about s 80 a. M, met the flood and
was unable to proceed further. The
waters reached such depth that the
coaches had to be abandoned, the pas
sengers being rescued by means of
ropes strung from the windows OF
coaches to the tops OF remaining coke
ovens some distance away. Between
Elkhorn and Vivian Yard, a distance
of ten miles, 100 cars are said to be
washed from the tracks and many OF
them carried down the streams. A
rough estimate places the number OF
bridges washed away between Bluefeld
and Vivian Yard, distance OF % miles,
at from Is to 20, and from present in
dications it will be impossible to get
trains through to Vivian and points
west of there under week or ten days
This will render 1t impossible to get
relief into the stricken district and
with those who escaped with their
lives, homeless and without food, IN
descrlbable suffering is inevitable.

TOWN WASHED AWAY.

The little town of Keystone, with a
population of about 1000 seems the
greatest sufferer, practically the entire
town being washed away. The town is
the principal one In the Pocohontas
coal fields and is located near Its
centre. It was to great extent head
quarters from which the mining pop
ulation purchased supplies and was also
the only place In the field where Wills
key could be purchased. At this place
there were some IL or Is saloon, all OF
which were washed away. The report
comes that the mining population are
now occupying the banks of the
streams below catching the merchan-
disc and barrels of whiskey and beer
as they float down. A great number OF
the coal and coke plants throughout
the Pocohontas field are reported prac-
tically destroyed and In some instances
entirely washed away. On account OF
the very high water which has flooded
the region and prevented communities
ton, anything like correct estimate
of the loss Of property Is Impossible but
from the best information obtalnab:e
at 2 p. M, the loss to property will
