Meaning of Nantahala.

To the Editor: Nantahala River is the
finest stream in the Appalachian noun
tains. 1t is, except the depredations OF
the lumberman, the best preserved IN
original Wilderness and beauty. It is yet
clear as spring from head to mouth
The name as spelled Nantahala, is an
English corruption. The Indian word, IS
conveying the aboriginal or vernacular
accent, is Nuntih yah lih'.
There are two interpretations of the
word Maiden's Bosom" and "Sun-in-
Middle The latter is most likely the
correct one, but have chosen the former
as easier to set in rhyme. The history
of the word is that the rivers course
with respect to the course of the sun,
was the recipient of the suns rays all
day long Sun-in- tho Middle. The other
and less likely: The rivers surface al
ways being clear and beautiful it was a
poetic reminder, in Cherokee nomcncla-
ture, "Maiden's Bosom

How Cold Weather Hurt in Sampson
(Sampson Democrat.)

Last Saturday and Sunday nights we
had wintry weather here, and jack frost,
aided by the cold wind, got in its work,
end played havoc with most things that
were from under cover, From the best
information we could gather. we decided
that a conservative estimate would place
the loss at about % per cent of straw
berricr, beans 70 per cent, hucklebcrires
IS Der cent, and many things in the gar
dcns were killed outright Early corn
and Irish potatoes were cut down to
the cxtcrt Of about so per cent, though
tbov wi come out, but we do not bel eve
they Will be so good. Many did not have
Strawberries covered, and it is believed
that half or more of the crop on these
were killed, but where they were covered
the wind blew such a gale that the straw
could not be kept on, and good many
Of these were killed any way In some
section the hucklcberrics are entirely
kHled. and those that escaped are in the
very thick places or in the pounds where
there is deep water; fortunately those
that are left are mostly of the best va
riety. the big blues" and will command
good price. A number of truckers are
planting beans over; there was not sufti-
cient seed let en- this market, and sup
ply was ordered by wire.

Young Girl Commits Suicide.
Especial to The state.)

Camden, S. c., April S.-One of the sad
dest tragedies that ever occurred in ker-
shaw county took place Monday evening
at the home of Mr.. S Tillery, formerly of
Tillerys Ferry, now residing few miles
west of Camden. Leila, one OF his twin
daughters, aged fourteen years, it is al
legged had an alteration with her brother
for which their father chastised them
both. The girl took the punishment so
to heart that she procured some strych-
nine and ended her life She was pu-
pill of the Camden graded school and her
death was a shock to her schoolmatcs
and teachers, who had last seen her Mon
day morning.

Trucking Notes.
(Duplin Journal.)


Huckleberries cut all the ice they Will
be allowed to last Saturday night.
Reports from Wallace and Rose Hill
state that the berry crop has been great
ly damaged.
The uncertain weather, high rates auC
bad transportation are too serious draw
backs to our farmers to make trucking
and fruit growing their chief crops
Between eight and nine hundred crates
of berries were shipped from the differ
ent points along the A. c. l.. on Tuesday.
Rose Hill shipped 1872 of these and Wal
lace POS.
The freeze and frost of Saturday night
did considerable damage to fruits and
vegetables throughout the country. All
along the Coast Line the truckers have
suffered severe losses. The berries were
covered generally, but the freeze and the
frost together did them heavy damage.
Beans and potatoes were cut off very
much and in many instances the bean
growers will plant over. Hucklcberries
also suffered, and the great shortage in
the coming crop will never be known.
Truckers, of course, feel a little blue
over the situation, but fortunately, how
ever they believe 1t must all be for
the best

Currie, N. c., April Z.
Correspondence of the Messenger)
Our very bright prospect of a large
harvest of strawberries is being rapidly
diminished by the bill bug or wcevil'
His or her capacity for depicting field
of strawberry plants cannot be cqualled
by any other insect except the Colorado
beetle or Irish potato bug, whose capac-
fty for multiplication far exceeds plants to
hold them. AS yet our truck farmers
have been unable to find the remedy or
preventive to check or destroy this de-
vastating weevil. 1t was said that they
would not interfere with the Dixie Belle
variety, but we have been unable to find
anything in the shape of strawberry
plants that will stay their onward march
to destroy the blooms
Irish potatoes and beans were injured
by the cold of Saturday and Sunday.

OTHER TOWNS WILL DO LIKEWISE



Now that the Wilson dispensary is as
sured, all should bow to the wishes of
the majority and support it. The verdict
Of the people rendered yesterday should
be accepted gracefully and all strife end.
The sentiment of tho people favors this
manner OF regulating the liquor traffic
and we will support it. Fortunately there
has been little bitterness in the cam
paign and we trust that what personal
differences have been enCeEdered
will soon be a thing of the past. There
is no question but mat the temperance
agitation now prevalent in the State has
received the sympathy and support of our
people, and we believe that 1t is a ques-
ton of only short time before all sec
tions of the State will likewise voice
their sentiments. Now. let's all forget
our differences and pull together for a

HONEST ENOUGH TO STAY
BOUGHT,

The testimony taken in the contest be-
the tenth district against Congressman
Moody has shown a condition OF bribery
and corruption on larger scale than has
heretofore been known in North Carolina.
Up to 1892 comparatively little money
had been used in politics in North Caro-
lima. In that year both parties had large
campaign funds-large compared with
previous sums. In 1894 money flowed
more freely In 1896 the Democrats
hadn't a spare dollar over the mos.
economical necessary expenses. In 1898
the Democrats had a campaign fund
