MAKING MONEY IN HALIFAX.
One Farmer Has Made $4,000 and
Another $4,000 in a Few Years.

Mr.. w. r. Nevill, of Heathsville, N c.,
lost his father when fourteen years Of
age. His fathers estate was in debt
but he went to work with his mother and
paid off the debt. After becoming OF age
he worked with his mother for several
years at salary of $3.50 per year, and
also followed the profession of surveying
being elected several terms county sur
veyOr. After in this manner accumu-
lating a small capital he went into farm
ng on his own account. Mr.. Nevill adopt
ed the method of raising home supplies,
and it is very seldom he buys any meat,
corn or forage. He makes all three of
the money crops of Eastern Carolina
cotton,peanuts and tobacco-never risking
all on any one crop. AS result of this
system Mr.. Nevill is in easy circum-
stances. having to borrow no money, and
while it is hard to estimate the value Of
land and stock. he is certainly worth
$4,000 to $4,000, made mostly within five
or six year years.
Mr. George R, Cannon, of Epworth,
n. c., until about nine years ago, had
been busily engaged in sowing a crop OF
wild oats, and as result of this pleasant
occupation succeeded in creating a debt
of $4,000, which was secured by mort
gage on his plantation; when the thought
occurred to him that he might devote his
labors to crops that would yield him
better return. He Immediately changed
about and devoted himself with great
assiduity to the cultivation of his farm,
making home supplies first and then all
that he could of the money crops-cotton,
peanuts and tobacco. A visit to the farm
OF Mr.. Cannon a few days since showed
tn result Of his new system. The mort
gage OF $1,000 is among the things that
were, his pastures are stocked with i'm
proved breeds of hogs and his stalls are
filled with fine Jersey cattle. All of his
mules and horses are fat and sleek.
Lying in the yard are 100 bales of cotton
of last years crop Seeing a house filled
with other cotton the writer inquired
about it, and was informed it was the
crop of year before last. Being matter
of dclcacy he did not inquire about Mr..
Gammon's bank account, but he has no
doubt it is a healthy one. He lives on
one of the finest farms in the county, and
has another farm short distance away
Making a rough estimate of Mr.. Gam
mons wealth. the writer would put it at
from $40, 600 to 100000, and all this the
result of nine years work.

THREE SUCCESSFUL FARMERS.
Their Experience in Farming in the

The question has been asked by MANY.
can one proftably engage in agriculture.
or at least can one make a living by
farming in the sandy portion of this
State?
The writer of the following desires to
answer these questions by giving the
plain facts which he personally received
from three representative farmers and
Tuit-growers in and near Southern
Pines, Moore county.
Mr.. r. S. Marks, a Southern man, has
farmed in this sandy region for twenty
years. Several years he cultivated the
Ray farm of fifteen acres, near Southern
Pines, from which he cleared after all ex-
penses, on the average between 40 and so
dollars per acre. In addition TO home
fertilizer he used about 100 pounds of
commercial fer tilizer to the acre. His
products were blackberries, grapes and
melons.
In Southern Pines, Mr. Marks titled
IL acres of fairly good land, on which
he raised all kinds of truck; on this land
he used from 500 to 1000 pounds of fer
tilizer to the acre, and he averaged from
$275 to 1925 year per acre.
Mr.. H. P. Bilyeu, another representa-
tive agriculturist of the South, has a
farm of 200 acres, 125 of which contains
fruits-peaches, pears and grapes. For
10 years he has been interested in fruit
growing and began by using 300 pounds
of fertilizer per acre, but has increased
it to 1000 pounds to the acre, thereby
doubling the yield and increasing the size
of the fruit and making more clear money
by the heavier use of commercial fertilizer
than when he used only the 800 pounds
per acre. From the sale of his fruit he
averages clear of all expenses 60 to rs
dollars per acre.
In his general farm product, such as
berries, melons and truck, he uses 500
pounds of fertilizer to the acre and clears
free from all expenses an average of $50
per acre. This he calls intensified
farming" The fact that ROCKFORD
canteloupes can be successfully grown
here adds new impetus to the farming
interests.
Mr.. John Huttehaused formerly from
Pennsylvania, has 1914 acres-all in fruit
He uses from 800, to 500 pounds of fertili-
ger to the acre, and with a fair crop of
peaches and grapes he averages $40 per
acre, but if the crop is good and the
peaches are of the right variety, and
packed properly, he averages $50 per
acre. W. C. COTTRELL.

Some Tall Visitors.

Among the visitors to Raleigh yester-
day were Messrs. Robert and Bailey Will
hanson, of Shotwell, Wake county, to
whom a vast majority of people look
up that is, if they want to gaze into
their faces and not at their vest but
tons.
Mr. Robert Williamson is only six feet
seven inches tall, and his brother, Mr..
Bailey Williamson, is six feet six inches
Their other brother. Mr.. Charles Will
hanson, is six feet five and half inches,
and all of them are well proportional
men.
Mr.. William Boylan, who was with the
gentlemen yesterday, complained much
ly" last night about having 'crick" in
his neck, this, he AYERS, being because
he kept company with the gentlemen
and was continually gazing up at them.

The Christian Rich Woman,

In Professor Peabody's suggestive book
on Jesus Christ and the Social Question
he gives this beautiful definition of the
Christian rich woman: at is she who
hnds it not impossible to be rich in purse
and poor in spirit. She accepts her OPP
portunity watchfully. She knows herself
servant of whom much is required In
the midst of world of foolishness and
vanity she maintains simplicity and good
sense. She is equally at home among the
rich and the poor. No severer test of
the Christian life than this can be pro-
posed for any woman, and no fairer type
of character is to be met than that
which issues from such a test, having
passed through the needles eye"

PEOPLE DREsss WHY, WEAR FIG LEAVES
Chicago Woman Physician Advocates Nature.
Garb With an Indian Blanket For
Cold Weather.

Or. Sarah Hackett Stevenson told wo-
men of the Chicago Club that Rousseau
was right when he advocated the return
of man to state of nature.
IF | were to express myself on the
whole subject of Dress" said DR.. Stew
enson, Il should say give me an Indian
blanket-for cold weather
Clothes are largely the cause of dis
ease, the body demanding the natural
stimulants of sun, wind and rain. The
disadvantages of man began when he
stood upright and placed his head in an
unnatural position. If people who take
the Kneipp cure by walking barefooted
in the grass would go on ali fours they
would carry out the whole theory of the
cure.
Man is an animal, is suffering degra-
dation at the hands of civilization The
hair is disappearing from his head, his
eyebrows and eyelashes are going, his
nose is losing its function. his teeth are
disappearing. his nervous system is
weakening, and with this degeneration
physically has come moral decline

A Laundry Improvement.

The Oak City Steam Laundry has so
we'll equipped itself that it is now doing
splendid work.
Mr.. ]. X. Marshall has just installed a
mammoth collar and cuff ironer, the lar
gest made, which at one passage of the
goods irons them thus avoiding the wear
and tear of the ordinary machine. This
laundry now gives a domestic finish
strictly, and with it's other modern ma
chinery is doing work in Raleigh that
equals the best in the country.
This is a progressive step which Mr..
Marshall has made and it is one which
the patrons of the laundry will appre-
Ciate.

Flutcher, colored, for the murder oil
Louis. Roth, at $40 o'clock this morn
ing. Attorney Folk had telegraphed
Governor Dockery recommending a ten
days Geprieve to investigate more fully
some testimony to the effect that
Flutcher acted in self defense when he

that the second respite could only have
operated to say the execution a few
days.

The riots in Brussels continue. About
twenty-five persons were wounded in
clashes with the police yesterday.
Negroes and whites FLASHED last night
in the heart of the Tenderloin district,

twelve or fifteen of the former were
badly beaten up.
The report that five of a sheriff's
were killed and two others wounded in
battle with Jim Wright, the noted
outlaw and his associates in Scott coun-
ty, Va, is declared a fake.
General Macarthur in his testimony
before the Senate Committee on the

General Schofield. formerly the COM
handing general of the army, endorses
the bill to create general staff, saying
that he had long since come to the con-
clusion that there is no room under our
Constitution for two commanders. and
that the President, whom the Constitu-
ton makes the supreme commander,
must act through the Secretary of War.
He added that if he had at the head Of
of the army for years the same distin-
guished general, other things being sat
isfactory, that would be very well, but
what is the use of a great general as
the nominal head Of the army if the
President will not even talk to him, eX-
cept to criticise him, or if the Secretary
of War and he do not even see each
other.

That the Southern Seeks Controlling Interest
in Louisville
(By the Associated Press.)

l.
New York, April 11.-Louisville and
Nashville was the feature of today's
stock market, as it was yesterday, but
today the rumors that corner had been
arranged to squeeze shorts gave way to
reports that the stock was being bought
in order to secure control of the COM
pany. The corner theory for the advance
in the shares was dissipated by a state
ment from President Keppler, of the
Stock Exchange, to the effect that 'he
had been assured that there waa no in
tention to corner the Louisville and
Nashville stock and that the stock would
be available to borrowers
Today it was reported that Southern
interests desired controlling interest in
Louisville. These reports, however, were
denied by Samuel Spencer, president of
the Southern, who said he knew nothing
of such intention on the part OF his
road
