Washington, March 25.-Senator
Pritcherd of North Carolina, is max.

Senate committee on privileges and
elections to secure action on the reSo.
luton he introduced some time ago
calling for an investigation of the
charges made by Senator Benjamin
II. Tillman Of South Carolina, against
his colleague, John l.. McLaurin
that the latter was influenced by
promises of control of federal pat
ronage in casting his vote for tho
ratification Of the Paris peace treaty.
There is a feeling among certain
Republicans in tho Senate that this
subject should be allowed to drop,
but Senator McLaurin's friends in
sist that the investigation be made,
and MIR. Pritchard, who is member
Of the committee before which the
resolution is pending, will urge that
a favorable report be adopted.
Sentiment in the Senate seems to
favor the adoption of this resolution.
MIR. Tillman's friends say he can
prove the charges he has made, while
MIR. McLaurin's friends insist that
he can not. Both sides, therefore,
are ready to support the proposition
for an investigation.
1t is said that Senator j. G.. Bur
rows of Michigan, chairman of the
committee, does not favor the Pritch-
ard resolution, and will strive to have
it suppressed.
Among the warmest advocates of
the resolution is Senator VI. A.
Hanna, who says he believes the
Tillman charge reflects Oh the late
President Mckinley, and he will lend
his efforts to u favorable report upon
the ground that the memory Of the
assassinated President should be
purged Of all aspersions.

The Month of November.

Under gray skies, and gowned in neutral brown,
enters November. Frost waits upon her and
strews her path with memories of summer days.
The bugle of the north wind proclaims her COM
ing. A brooding silence reigns in the thickets
where the mighty feathered chorus poured forth
a welcome to her sister months. Gone are the
flowers, save that in some sheltered retreat still
fingers the blossom of the skies, the beautiful
fringed gentian, mayhap a sunfower or late
goldenrod lends of it's gold yet little while.
But from stark-bare tree-tops comes the bark
of squirrels fat with much feeding, and it is
answered by the merry shout of nut-gatherers
cleaning among the thickly strewn brown leaves.
The honk of the wild goose floats earthward from
the clouds. In the marshes and sedges along the
rivers edge the muskrat puts the finishing touches
on his domicile of rushes and mud against the
bitterness of midwinter. The blue jay becomes
silent, stealing guiltily about the bursting
crib. Through open barn doors is caught the
CLEAN of yellow pumpkins and squashes with all
thcir possibilities of jack-o-lanterns and luscious
golden pies. From cellar bulkheads rises the fra
GRANGE of ripening fruit. The gobble of the tur
fulfilled, and the shadow of sacrifice has not yet
fallen over the poultry yard. The spirit of
Thanksgiving is abroad over the land, and No
vember, in sober gray and brown, walks hand in
hand with Good-cheer and Happiness.-C Country
Life in America.

AGRICULTURAL EDUCATION ILLUSTRATED

The unique program of the State Agricultural
Society's meeting last Thursday night was as
successful and interesting as it was unique This
program, it will be remembered, was made up
of seven essays by seven agricultural students at
the A. and M. College,. E. Colt, of Rowan
County; J. W. Bullock, Granville; j. G. Beavers,
Chatham; S. W. Foster, Rockingham; W. W.
Finley, Wilkes; j. @. Temple Moore, and @. W.
Martin, of Virginia. The design was to show
the Society the character of the work that is
being done by the agricultural department of the
College, and this design was admirably carried
out. There was not a mediocre paper in the
whole lot. For clearness and aightforwardness
of expression, for thoroughly practical nature,
and for freedom from longwindedness, the efforts
were especially noteworthy. The work of these
young reflected great credit on themselves
and on the College. We congratulate them, and
hope that they will use the columns of The Pro
gressive Farmer for the spread of the same sound
doctrines to which their essays we're devoted
With a group of such well-trained young men
going out into our State each year to be leaders
of agricultural progress, there's room for pes
simism to the future of North Carolina farm
ing.

The Farmers Association and the Tobacco
Growers Association were called to meet in
Raleigh last week, but neither organization mani
tested much vigor. Several addresses were made
at the Farmers Association meeting, Col. J.
Bryan Grimes making earnest plea for organi-
zation, Hon. S. B. Alexander following on the
same line, after which came brief essay by Mr.
w. A. Darden and impromptu discussion of
taxation by Col John S. Cunningham. The To
bacco Growers Association showed very pain
fully the wasting away brought about by the pros
perity of its members. Colonel Cunningham, Colo
mel Grimes, Commissioner Patterson, Secretary
Bruner and Mr.. J. J. Laughinghouse were in
structed to prepare an address to the tobacco
growers of the State, issuing it in the name of
the Association. No other business was trans
acted.

The State Fair last week was a great success.
The weather could not have been better if it
had been made to order. The exhibits were up
to the usual standard, and the attendance was
the largest ever known. The Midway not
quite so wholesome as the advance notices had
indicated, but such improvement over the foul
aggregation of last year that no one felt like
kicking. And now that President Long is con-
tinued at the head of the organization, we feel
that this years standard will be either main
tanned or improved next year.

sections? I think there is-one thing funda-
mental, one principle of universal application.
It is this When you grow fruit, give your land up
to fruit; don't expect other crops from the land.
If you do grow grass, let it go back on the land,
or pasture it and keep up the fertility by the
droppings of the stock
"The conclusion of the matter is this: There
is no State in this Union that could have
better apple-growing development than North
Carolina and you should work to that end"
Colonel Bracket followed DR.. Bailey. "Your
apple exhibit" he said, "gives adequate testi-
mony to the fact that you have one of the best
fruit sections of the United States. It is very
similar to the Ozark region in Missouri. I do
not know, however, about the adaptability of
varieties to the two sections. You can't tell with
out experience what any variety will do in any
section
"The Albemarle or Yellow Newton pippin,
which commands the highest prices in foreign
markets, seems peculiarly adapted to your noun
tain coves. I think you can grow it to perfec-
ton, for the specimens shown at the Fair are as
fine as have seen anywhere. The York Imperial
which ranks next to the Yellow Newton in price,
also seems to be thoroughly at home here. The
Hoover seems to do better here than in any other
part of the country The Jonathan and Grimes
Golden bring good prices, and seem well adapted
to this section. Your Jonathan exhibit is very
good I hope you will get proper transportation
facilities for the mountain counties so as to open
up this great fruit region
At the conclusion of Colonel Brackets address,
Professor Bailey was called back to say some
thing on nature study and agricultural education,
addressing himself especially to the A. and NJ.
College agricultural students.
"The great object of nature study" he said, ''is
to get people interested in the common things
about them, to give a zest to country life, and
attractiveness to country life as we'll as to make
it profitable financially. I think if we can get
nature study fixed in the city schools where tho
best teachers are and where the best methods pre-
vail, that it will spread to the country. The
thought that would leave with you young men
the inspiration that I would give yOu-is that
there is a future for agriculture, both CONNER
cially and for the joy of living in Gods country.
The agricultural colleges, agricultural experiment
stations and agricultural departments in the
rious States and the allied movements are bring
ing about rebirth of agriculture in all parts of
the country-a rebrth whose Importance is
yet realized by few"
The Society then went into the election of
officers, this resulting in the reelection of Presi-
dent Van Lindey and Vice-President Blacknall,
while Mr.. T. X. Bruner, to whose energy and
skill the fine apple exhibit is chiefly due, was
chosen secretary. The former distict viceppresi-
dents were continued in Office, as was also the
old executive committee, to which Mr.. Moses
Gone, of Blowing Rock, was added.

The Burden Of the Old Men.

This article, taken from the October
number of the American Machinist, to
which it was contributed by w. H. Ssr-
gent, gives a record of the long terms OF
service in the Fairbanks scale shops, and
is prefaced it with a challenge to
England, Germany, or all the world, to
match the record.
The veteran employee of the Fairbanks
works is Col. Francis Walker, foreman
of the foundry, he having served 81 con-
Secutive wears Two of his brot hers were
with the company for long time the
total term OF service OF the three being
about $40 years. One of his molders has
Just resigned after So years Of hard and
heavy work.
The foreman of the polishing room has
seen SO wears of service, the head black
smith SO years and the foreman OF the
machine shop "a years. For 40 years
the head of the finishing department has
had to do with the assembling, sealing
and finishing Of scales, and one of his
toremen, who has charge OF the room
where small scales are sealed, has been
in this lire of business tor 46 years.
Forty-six ears ago the present head
OF the experimental department came to
stay for month and has remained ever
since. The foreman of Que paint shop
has had 40 years experience, and the
head painter in another room has
swung brush for AZ years.
OF course. it is to be presumed that the
older and more experienced employees
would be advanced to these positions of
trust and responsibility, leaving to the
younger men the hard work OF today.
Old men for counsel, young men for
war" But glance over the ranks of
he workmen themselves shows a consid.
,rable number OF gray heads.
There are about SIS men in the manu-
