it attention, sell without delay the

The other matter of which we set

and some to sell, if you can do So
and is there any reason why you
cannot? The failure of the corn crop
in the West will certainly mean
higher prices for first class meats,

will pay dear for his whistle. Fore
warned is forearmed.

ANNOUNCEMENT.

The Progressive Farmer, emulat-
ing the known character OF its
founder, belongs so the people, is the
paper of the people, run by the peo-
pie and for the good of the people.
While Col. Polk was alive, this was
eminently so. While he lived he
simply directed the affairs of the
paper for the people-was not so
much it's owner as he was their
director. When Col. Polk was taken
from it, he left your humble servant
as his Business Manager, but the
title "owner," the mantle of the
founder, rested upon his devoted
widow. After resting on the shout
ders of husband owe six years, then
on his widow for nine years, the
mantle has now in the sixteenth year
of its existence-this mantle sacred
and pure-has fallen upon the shout
ders of the writer. I am called
owner ; 1 am not. The paper, as it's
founder intended, is not my paper &:
it is yours it is the peoples. And
while 1 hold the directorate, ever
striving myself to soar higher and
with Divine help to get better and
help those around, I desire to say
that however good your business,
however true and honest and perse-
vering he may be, your director
can't make the most success nor &C
complish best results without the
sympathy, kind words and helping
hand of those for whom he labors,
This l bespeak of you, one and all,
and I pledge to you all the time,
money and labor placed at my COM
mand shall be returned to you multi
piled many fold. In The Progressive
Farmer you now have the best agri-
cultural and all-round weekly in the
South. do not hesitate to say that
it would be difficult to find an avail
able man who would prepare the edi-
torial or other departments OF the
paper with more skill, taste and sound
Judgment and make your paper, or
any other paper, more interesting
and instructive than does G.. II. Poe,
our present most efficient editor.
His services, with the present edito-
rial and business policy, with minor
changes only for improvements, will
be continued Now, friends, we wish
you to quiet your nerves, pay up
your subscriptions promptly and in.
duce your neighbor to take The Pro
gressive Farmer. And may you all

THE G OF CASH.

If you car possibly grasp it, think
of a billion dollars. In former ages
of the world, it was a sum far be-
yond human needs or comprehension
If you should begin to count it, you
would be-a very aged person before
you reached the total.
Then take another grasp and try
to appreciate what three and a third
billion dollars can Mentally that
is quite out of the question, of course
but it is the cold, written record OF
the bank clearances of the United
States not only for one week, but,
indeed, for several weeks success
lively during the present year.
The rich people of history are, IN
comparison with those of the present
about as poor as was Milton when ne
sold Paradise Lost for something
like twenty-five dollars. It is the
belief of the ~plutocrats that NOBODY
amounts to anything in New YorA
until he can use all his fingers ii
counting his millions. And tnlS
brings the situation to the interest
ing point that of the three and d
third billions of bank ~clearances IL
the whole country two and a quarter
billions were in New York.

The Thinkers.
TO THINK.

We had the great pleasure a few
weeks ago Of listening to a converse
ton between a college professor who
has had considerable acquaintance
with farmers, and an Institute
worker, who is himself a farmer,
and has given some part of his time,
for several years, to platform work
at Oranges and Farmers Institutes.
The professor was inclined to doubt
the usefulness of Institute work,
and claimed that the farmers, as q
GLASS, we're neither reading, observ-
ing nor thinking men, and coUldnot be
aroused to either observe or think.
The farmer lecturer maintained the
affirmative side of the question, de-
clared that farmers were learning
to think" and observe, "and," said
he, sit is Grange and Institute work,
backed up by an intelligent agricul-
tural press, that has lifted the farm
ers out of the ruts in which they
formerly crawled, until now they
are, as a whole, a shrewd, reading,
thinking, observing class of men,
"The farmer has got to be an OBJ
server, reader and thinker if he
would succeed in these progressive
days" he continued, "with railways,
telegraphs, telephones, rural mail
delivery, improved farm machinery
and the thousands of advantages
that our grandfathers of stage-coach
days never dreamed of, the farmer
is compelled to be a reader and
thinker he simply can't help him
self" After joining in the CONVEX
satlon with some comments upon the
steady advance in agricultural
knowledge and the good work the

TWO VALUABLE ADDRESSES.

Copies of two valuable addresses
now published in pamphlet form
have just been received by The
Progressive Farmer.
The first is Judge Walter Clark's
"How Can Interest be Aroused in
the Study of North Carolina His
tory?" The larger part of this ad-
dress we have already published.
We are glad to note it's appearance
in pamphlet form, for it's suggestions
ought to be preserved and cOntiinu-
ally reiterated until the good work
it outlines shall have been accom-
plished,
Mr.. Marshall Delaney HaSwood's
sketch of Col. Edward Buncombe
was read before the annual meeting
of the North Carolina Society of the
Cincinnati at Hillsboro, July 4. 1t
is an excellent piece of work, and
causes us to hope that Mr.. Haywood
will SOC bring out his promised
sketch of Gov. Tryon. A brief out
line of the career of Col. Buncombe
is given by the Charlotte Observer
as follows: "Born on the island of
st. Kits, and coming to North Caro-
lima to settle on property in Tyrrell
county, now Washington, inherited
from an uncle, Col. Buncombe built
BunoOmbe Hall, far famed in it's day
for it's hospitality, out of bricks i'm
ported from England, and there he
lived, taking a prominent part in the
political movements that brought on
the Revolution and gladly fighting
it's battles when it had begun. He
died in Philadelphia from a wound
received at the battle of German
town"
Everyone has heard the express
ion, talking for buncOmbe," and as
this phrase is intimately connected
with that North Carolina county
named in honor of the subject of his
sketch, Mr. Haywood takes occasion
to explain how it originated. We
do not now recall another word of
North Carolina origin that has
found it's way into the standard die
tionaries, and as the incident which
gave rise to this one is quite inter
esting, we quote from from Mr..
Haywood's account as follows:
"The word 'buncombe'-which
dictionaries give as signifying a bonn
bastic utterance, usually employed
in windy harangUes to gain popular
favor-had it's origin through the
following circumstances: In the
Congress of the United States, be-
tween the years 1872 and 1923, the
mountain district of North Carolina
was represented by the Honorable
Felix Walker, many of whose con-
stituents were denizens of the now
famous county of Buncombe. One
day, as MI. Walker sat bordering
over his past political career, he re-
membered that during that session
he had made very few speeches
and this, by the way, was almost as
rare a fault with congressman in
those days as it is now. So he de-
cided to speak; he did speak; he
spoke at considerable length and he
didn't have anything particular to
say, but he kept on talking, never
theless. And when, at last, patience
had ceased to be a virtue, and some
of his long-suffering colleagues were
beginning to leave the hall, he told
the more polite members who re-
manned that they might go, too, if
they wished, for he intended to have
his remarks published and sent to
the home people, as the speech was
not intended for the House, but only
for Buncombe !"

"NORFH CAROLINA DAY" IN THE PUB
Lie SCHOOLS.

One movement which will aid in
the solution of Judge Clark's prob
lem, elbow shall we interest our peo-
in the study of North Carolina his
tory?" is already we'll on foot. We
refer to the law passed by the last
Legislature directing ''that the 18th
day of October in each and every
year be set apart as North Carolina
Day. to be devoted by appropriate
exercises in the public schools of the
State to the consideration of some
topic or topics of our State history to
be selected by the Superintendent of
Public Instruction" The Progress
sive Farmer is read by a large NUM-
Der of teachers in all parts of North
Carolina, and we feel sure that no
appeal is needed to induce them to
give their active support to this
praiseworthy plan. Our contempt
rary, the Chatham Record, ably sets
forth the arguments in it's favor in
the following editorial:
'sThis is an excellent idea and all
private as we'll as public schools
should earnestly strive to carry 1t
into effect. Let every school, both
public and private, appropriately
celebrate this North Carolina Day,
as suggested by our lawmakers, and
thus teach the children of North
Carolina a true history of their
State. No State has greater cause
to be proud of her history than
North Carolina, and yet scarcely any
States history is so little known as
hers. Let us stimulate the chill
dren of this generation, and each
succeeding generation, to strive more
earnestly in learning the history of
their good old State.
"Nearly every school child-even
in North Carolina-knows more of
the Revolutionary history Of Massa-
chusetts, than of North Carolina,
simply because greater efforts are
made to teach and p~erpetuate it.
And yet the citizens of North Caro-
lima have greater cause to be proud
of her Revolutionary history than
the citizens of Massachusetts, have
of their State. The Boston ''tea
party" is known by thousands who
never heard of the bolder act of the
men of the Cape Fear, who eight
years previous in broad daylight sue
~cessfully resisted the execution of
the Stamp Act. The battle of Lexing-
ton is immortalized in song and story,
and has attracted tar more attention
than the battle of Alamance, fought
four years prior. Few persons, out
side of North Carolina, know that,
nerly five months before the Decla-
ration of independence was signed,
North Carolinians won at the battle
of Moore's Creek the most complete
victory of the Revolutionary war.
And still fewer that on the 18th of
April, 1875, the provincial congress
at Halifax was the first to instruct
it's delegates to vote for American
independence.
"But we need not cite other in
stances to prove North Carolina's
proud history and the need of it's
study. It is too plain for argu-
ment."
