HUSTLING, SUCCESSFUL FARMERS.

HUsTLING, SUCCESSFUL FARMERS.
If any one wishes to see the cleanest
and most thrifty kept farm in this
section, let him visit that of Robert
J. Murphy, situated little way back
from the highway leading to our rail-
road station, but will repay any one
to look at who desires to see what pa
thence and perseverance will do to
land no better fitted by nature to be
most productive than his neighbors,
but by patient and increasing toll and
watchfulness and applying the spade
and pillow and bush hook in proper sea-
son he has so greatly improved his real
estate in 20 years that it's valuation by
town assessor has we'll nigh doubled.
1t pays to be attached to your life call
ing and no one of our acquaintance
has demonstrated that fact more than
the three farmers above mentioned.
We might also in that same locality
and along the same line of improve
ment, mention Herman Hoffman, who
has SO nicely improved his residence
age since taking possession of
the same and who is soon to erect
near his home circular silo OF the
most improved pattern. Mr. Hoffman
has one of the most desirable locations
on the main highway leading from
this village to Woodville and he has
the enviable talent of making the
same most attractive and pleasing to
the eye of all visitors and enjoys show
ing his satisfaction thoroughly with
all callers. No better or more agree
able man at all times to meet than he
is for social chat and few men
are better informed and can converse
more fuently on the current events of
the day and age. 1t is sincere pleas
ure to greet and have him greet you
in his most cordial manner and he is
always pleased to show his friends the
numerous improvements he has made
to his home and farm in general dur
ing his 20 years Stay thereon.

LIFE LAKE WARAMAUG.

LIFE AT LAKE WARAMAUG.
Life about Lake Waramaug is now
at the height Of the season. The Will
son hotel, Hopkins house, Loomarick,
Lakeside and Carter house are report
ed full of guests, while many are
pleasantly passing their time at Villa
Luzerne and B. g. NorrisS. The golf
grounds are visited daily by numer-
GUS company. Nearly every cottage is
now occupied by its owner and that
means about 20 more families about
the Lake. We would be pleased to
make further note of the additional
arrivals at the different places since
last reported in The BEE, but regret
to state not single host or landlord
has favored us with list. For their
own benefit, we think, it would be
worth their while to fill out such list
every week in summer and make for
them most cheap advertising. We re-
port as best we can without making a
personal call at all these places and
when any are omitted we consider the
fault theirs as we'll as ours, for our for
getfulness and their neglect.

HORNE TURPENTINE REFINERY.
Raleigh Men Interested in New Enterprise
With Novel Capital Plan

A company was chartered here yester-
day with a novel feature in it.
This is the Horne Turpentine Refinery.
The capital stock is $4,000 and each
share is worth $4,000. The novel feat
ure is that not alone are the shares of
this large amount, but no shareholders
can sell his share without offering it first
to the company and them to one or more
shareholders, on a thirty days notice
before it can be sold to an outsider.
The plant is to be located at Franklin 5
Mill, the Chalybeate Spring, in Harnett
county and the Bilfnger process will be
used. The machinery for the refinery
is already in the depot.
The principal office is to be in Raleigh
township, county of Wake, in or near the
city of Raleigh, with as many plants or
places of business as is desired. The
president is Mr.. Joseph r. Chamberla' n
and the incorporators are Messrs. Ashley
Horne, Joseph r. Chamberlain, Carey j.
Hunter and James H. Pou.
The company will manufacture turpen-
tine and other products from pine trees,
from wood or any other substances, using
any process desired, now in use or when
may hereafter be invented will buy and
sell land timber &c, do a mercantile
business, manufacture, buy and sell lum-

The Southern May Enter New Orleans
(By the Associated Press.l

New Orleans, La April pa story
is printed here today to the effect that
beginning july l, the Southern Railway
will come into New Orleans, operating
their Mobile and Ohio passenger trains
in and out of the Illinois Central union
station. 1t is said that only the passen-
ger traffic in connection with the St.
Louis division of the Southern Mobile
and Ohio property will be affected by the
new departure, and that at present no
severance of the agreement between the
Louisville and Nashville and the Southern
in handling of eastern business is con-
templated The actual entry of the
oSuthern, however, is considered of i'm
portance In connection with this it is
learned that the ueen and Crescents go

North Carolinians having come up out
of great tribulations, and rejoicing that
they have reached Appi Forum,
they thank God and take cour-
age. That good State is happy
in that, though the harvest is
great, it is ripe for the sickle and the
laborers ere not few.
Among the causes of congratulation to-
day is the fact that at last the South
has the sympathy and the cooperation
of the most patriotic and broad minded
men of the Republic-men who are moved
by the highest motives and the purest
patriotism in their interest in Southern
education l bring to you, gentlemen OF
the North, the greetings of the Southern
press-and speaking for the thoughtful
men and women of the South, as well
it's thousands of children whose welfare
you are promoting, l thank you for the
noble work you are doing and for your
helpful and inspiring sympathy. beg
you not to accept the criticisms of few
newspapers, not representative OF the
true Southern sentiment or the dominant
political thought, as vocing to any ma
teria1 degree the opinions of the Southern
people People and press are in accord
with the spirit and purposes of this Con-
ference, they wish it God-speed, and hold
in grateful esteem the men andl women
who feel that the burden which the South
has been bearing alone is the concern of
men in every section of the Republic.
The annual coming together of repre-
sentative educators, business men and
leaders of the North and South can have
none other than good results. You OF
the North will learn of us. We of the
South will learn of you. All the wisdom
does find habitation in the North or the
South. You Northern gentlemen are do
ing the country a great service by teach
ing your friends and neighbors sancr
view of Southern conditions. We do not
ask you to change your politics or your
convictions In this connection I wish
to thank Mr.. ogden for his timely pro-
test. in the Union League Club, against
joining in an onslaught upon the purified
Southern suffrage laws, and his warm
commentator OF Mr.. Cleveland's wise
views upon the negro question. In these
two actions Mr.. Ogden has won the com
mendation of the whole South and shown
that no mistake was made when he was
chosen President of this Conference.
Wa of the South also can learn much
by contact with Northern thinkers and
workers. We should remember that all
the radical and extreme views are not
north of Mason and Dixons line, and
we need the contact of thoughtful,
broad minded men and women outside our
section as every other section needs the
same thing.
When this class of people from all sec
tions come together to discuss any great
question and will discuss it, with right
motive and charity for honest difference
of opinion, good and good only ~will fol-
