Truck Farmers Meeting.

The Hardeman County Truckers
Association, recently organized,
held a meeting in the courthouse
Saturday afternoon, attended by
quite a number of members and
many visitors. The object was to
hear from committees appointed at
the former meeting to prepare local
data in regard to truck farming and
Investigations by its members in
other localities where the industry
has proven successful.
DR.. Southall Dickson read the
local report, from which we make
the following extracts:
From an acre and one-half in
sweet potatoes, John r. Black
raised 800 bushels, 225 of which he
sold for $4,000. From one acre
inlturnips he raised $50 bushels,
realizing $50 90 from the sale of 80
bushels.
r. N. Mitchell made clear profit
of SIS. 90 from one acre in straw,
berries.
VIM. Hammonds sold the pro
duct of Is apple trees for $4,000.
Moore and New bern, on an acre
of cabbage, made net profit of
$I51.45.
From the sale of straw berries on
three-quarters of an acre o. ground,
r. E. Durrett realized $4,000.
w. A. May reported from three
acres in straw berries 225.oO; six
acres in plums $4,000; one acre in
apples (one-third each Early Har-
vest, Red Astrachan and Yellow
Transparent $4,000; one acre in
cantaloupes $60.Oe.
The president of the Assertion,
Mr.. John r. Black, who has recent.
ly visited Humboldt aud Medina
submitted an interesting and in
structive paper in regard to tomato
and cabbage culture.
A committe, consisting of T. d.
Newbern, G. A. Black and DR.. S.
Dickson, was appointed to investi-
gate the propriety of Incorporating
the association and report to next
meeting, which will be held at the
call of the president.
Many of our farmers in the vicin-
ity of Bolivar are becoming interest
ed in this character of farming and
expect to engage in it next year on
a larger scale than ever before.

Reunion in North Carolina.
Confederate Veteran. |

The most pleasurable event in
the history of Rowan County's Con-
federate soldiers was the reunion
held September %, and the most
pleasant incident of the reunion was
the presentation of Crosses of Hon
or by the Daughters of the Confed-
eracy. In graceful and eloquent
address, Miss Francis G.. Herman,
made the presentation, in which she
said:
"You are TO wear them as proof
that your record as soldiers was
stainless, and that you bore your
selves bravely and well in any or all
Of the battles fought by the armies
of the South against such tremend-
Gus odds, from Manassas 10 Apo
mattox. And you are to wear
them to reminds always that the
cause for which you fought was a
just cause. For none more just has
men ever given their lives. Those
who deny this are either so pro-
foundry ignorant-of the truth, as it
stands written in history, or are
cravel.-hearted apo0gists of unsur-
patton and wrong. Slowly, reluct-
antlY, with Infinite pain, as foresee-
ing what was to come, but filled
with high hearted patriotism for
which we may look in vain in these
degenerate days, the men who were
your leaders recognized that the I'M
provoked aggressions of long years
had reached at last the unbearable
point, that the much enduring pa
thence of the South had been tried
too far, and that nothing remained
but to assert the rights so care fully
reserved and safeguarded by the
States when entering into the origi-
nal compact of government, and to
90 forth from those with whom fell
lowship had become impossible.
Calmly and sternly they went-men
such as the world is not likely to
behold soon again! How they fought
when the coersion, the possibility
of which was denied to the last,
was attempted, you know. You
were there. You made the long
marches, you slept in the old
trenches, you saw your brothers
fall beside you on the battleields of
those tours years of terrible war,
And when PROSTATE and bleeding at
every pore, the South fell at last,
not conquered but exhausted, You
returned to face the hard problems
of existence in war-wasted land
under every difficulty and indignity
which the malice of our enemies
could heap upon US.

living, are Crosses of Honor duew

THE LATEsT Developments
in the Senatorial matter since
our last issue, are as follows:
Judge Galloway, of Mem
phis, on petition of W. K.
Tuten and G.. L. Smith issued
a fiat for a temporary injunc-
ton against the election COM
missiOners of Hardin County
on the grounds that the re-
turns from two districts in
said county were not received
within the time prescribed by
law, when received were de-
livered by parties not author
lied under the la v, and that
said returns had been lamp
cred with. Before the in
junction was served, however,
the returns had been sent by
registered mail to the Secre-
tary of State, hence the in
junction proceedings amounts
ed to nothing. The official
returns from Hardin County
as received by the Secretary
of State give Jackson a ma
jority over Tuten of 724 votes
and the official returns from
the entire district on file
in the office of Secretary of
State show an aggregate ma
jority of 164 votes for Jack
son for State Senator from
the 26th Senatorial District.
Upon these returns a certif-
cate of election will doubtless
be issued to Jackson.

The Rural School.

About eighty-two percent of our
people dwell in the country and en-
gage in agricultural pursuits. Un-
der present conditions the rural
school is the chief hope Of educating
the rural population. The best
people of all classes are going to re-
side where they can get the best OPP
portunities for their children. The
only hope. therefore, of keeping
such people on their farms is to be
found in the improvement Of the
public school. These rural schools
must be made adequate to the edu-
cational needs of the people and
equal in merit to the best public
schools of the towns and cities be-
fore We can stop the disastrous
drains upon the best blood of the
country by these towns and cities.
In rocks and trees, aud streams, and
hills, and wales, and fields, and
flowers, nature has provided in the
country better companions, better
object lessons and better materials
for education than can possibly be
found or supplied in the towns and
the cities.
There is no reason why man
should not supply there, in the
heart OF nature, shoots that shall
offer as good educational facilities
as are to be found in town or city.
With such schools, the country
would be the ideal place for the ed
ucation of men. Without such
schools, it is but question of time
when the best of the country popu
latiOn will leave the country and
when there shall be left in our rural
districts only the poorest peasant
population, too ignorant to know
the value and the blessing Of an ed
ucation and too Indifferent to care
to secure it for their offspring.
This must not happen. The his
tory of ali civilization plainly de-
clares that the greatest calamity
that can befall any land is the dete-
rioration or the destruction of its
bold peasantry.-Hon. j. Y. JOY
ner, Superintendent of Public In
struction of North Carolina.

IN THE late election the
democratic nominee for Rep
resentative in Upton county
was defeated. Concerning
conditions in that county the
Covington Leader makes the
following remarks, to which
we direct the attention Of
some of our people, who stood
sponsors for democracy, but
who failed to deliver the
goods, because they ignored
the will OF the people: "The
results of Tuesdays election
are such as to indicate that
the party managers will have
to consider both men and
measures in the future. A
nomination alone will not
guarantee an election. The
Leader warned the bosses that
disaster was the inevitable
result of bossism. If anyone
asks you what was the trouble
say too much bossism and the
story will be told. The rank
and file Of the party have not
abdicated their right to con-
troll the party"

Col. JEROME HILL hal

Col. JEROME HILL has a
project on foot to wrest from
Liverpool and transfer to
New Orleans the business Of
handling and slowing the
cotton crop for the entire

east and one west of the river.
In his prospectus he says the
benefits arising from this en-
terprise would be for Ameri-

sufficient to erect the pro-

AT THE beginning of the
season the prospect for a good
yield of cotton was encourag-
ing, but later rust appeared
and many were discouraged,
and not few expressed the
opinion that the crop would
be below the average. Thanks
to the good Lord, favorable
weather destroyed the rust
likewise the predictions of
those who seem to be ever
ready to look on the dark
side-and the result is that
the largest crop of cotton has
been raised in Hardeman
county since the civil war.

JONAH AND THE HALE.

The London Lancet reprints crit
icism of medical lecture given in 1928
upon the power of the digestive organs
upon "substances endured with vital
ity," category which includes the
prophet Jonah. "How the prophet
passed his time in the cavity OF the
whales stomach, how far the confine-
ment affected his organs of respira-
ton, are questions of minor import
ance," we are told, but the main argu-
ment may be thus stated. "When Jo-
nah entered the whales stomach, either
he was alive or was not alive. If he
was not alive, the stomach would have
had the same power over him as over
any other inanimate substance, and the
prophet would have been digested in
the ordinary way" But since he was
not digested he was alive when swal-
lowed and, as the argument points out,
"must have continued to live" Con-
sequently when he was thrown up on
the fourth day he was deposited on
the dry land, "probably without any
other inconvenience than some trifiing
arrangement of his canonicals."

A Colonial Episode.

Four generations back Carroll Place
was one Of those fine old Virginia
manor-houses that bore mute witness
to the aristocratic state and generous
living OF the Old Dominion planter.
Part of it was built of bricks brought
from England; it had been added 10
and increased according to the needs
of an ever augmenting family of Car
rolls, til! with its slave quarters and
it's ample out-buildings it resembled a
village more than the residence OF a
single household. Great fires roared
in it's large chimneys, and the guest
chambers were always tenanted. The
Virginia gentleman of the eighteenth
century prided himself upon his hospi-
tality. 1t was the Carroll boast that
the family never sat down to dine alone;
there was always guest to break
bread with them. Newspapers were
few, news Travelled slowly, neighbcrs
were miles away, and the stranger
needed only to be personable and rca-
sonably agreeable in manner to he not
only welcome, but made free of his
hosts house and stables as long as he
elected to remain. He paid his
reckoning in genialty and good COM
pany, and his host felt in his debt when
he left.
During the early throes of the Amer
lean Revolution, before discomfort be-
came armed resistance to British
tyranny, the Carroll family consisted
of five members-father, mother, two
sons and daughter. Colonel Francis
Carroll was an aristocrat by birth and
instincts A kings favor had bestowed
upon an ancestor the noble acres that
swept around the place; it was his
pride to keep the heritage intact and
his the creed that demands gratitude
as the return for benefits conferred.
He espoused the Tory side, and King
Georges men were right welcome at
Carroll Place. The dragged rebels
who dare defy their lawful ruler need
expect no countenance from Francis
Carroll of Carroll Place
Among all the DANES and daughters
of those days there was none in all
Virginia who was prettier or more
piquant, or whose beauty and wit drew
: rJund her larger following than
Mistress Dorothy Carroll. The swains
for miles around rode to King Chapel
| and patiently sat through Domino
Travis droning service and interim,
nable sermons on the bare chance of a
glance, smile, perhaps word from
Mistress Dorothy. Happy he who was
permitted to assist her to dismount
