A GOOD MINING INVESTMENT.
advertisement

We call especial attention to the adj
vertisement of the National Gold
& Silver Mining Company of 70 La
Sale Street, Chicago, Illinois.
The president of this National
& Silver Mining Company is Mr..
Mark r. Sherman, of Chicago, a
well-known attorney there, who has
been interested in some large enter
prises. A man of means, and a nan
who would not let his name go out
in connection with a mining PROPOSE
ton unless there was a good reason
to believe that it was a safe and
substantial investment.
There has been a lot of money
made in mining stocks. Some of the
wealthiest men in the country have
made their entire fortunes out of
these stocks. At the same time there
have been some unfortunate invest
ments in cases where they did not
have the ground opened up and we're
not sure of their mineral.
The National Gold and Silver Min
ing Company own their own property
at Stems Pass, New Mexico, and
have prospected it and have the ore
ready for their mill, which is now
being constructed.
The price of their stock has rapid
ly increased from the very start.
and the shareholders who went in
when the stock was first offered for
sale, have a value in their stock now
which is worth three times what thew
paid for it, as the stock originally
sold for 10 cents a share and is now
bringing 80 cents. Prospective
should write and get the pro-
spectus as early in this month as pos
sible, that they may get advantage
OF this rise, should they decide to
any investment with this con-
Germ. Address National Gold &
Silver Mining Co., 70 La Sale St.,

Latest North Carolina Crop Bulletin.

Latest North Carolina Crop Bulletin.
Planting corn made some progress
on uplands, and early planted has
come up nicely. Preparations for
cotton have begun in the south. and
the large amount of fertilizer being
used indicates that a large crop of
cotton will be planted. Tobacco
plants are very forward and fine for
the season, transplanting has just
begun, an unusually early date for
the commencement of this work.
Winter wheat and oats are still fine,
though complaints of some damage
by excessive moisture and rust are
more numerous; frost caused some
y~ellowing, which will disappear with
warmer weather. Truck crops are
doing we'll. Irish potatoes are being
planted and a large portion of the
crop is up. Shipments of truck and
strawberries are becoming quite
heavy.
The c~oncensus of opinion in re-
gard to the damage caused by the
freeze of 5th is that the injury is
less than expected. Peaches, apples,
plums and cherries undoubtedly suf-
fered serious injury in the central
west portion, but less in the east
where the fruit had set to considera-
bic size; many correspondents state
that there are plenty of peaches left;
many apple trees are now in bloom
and are safe. The damage to straw
berries was less than 20 per cent, but
much greater to truck crops away
from the coast line, especially to
peas and beans, necessitating con-
siderable replanting.

Asheville Citizen: A San Francis
CO dispatch printed in the Citizen
Tuesday told of the death of Viii
liam j. Best, of New York, at San
Rafael on Monday. The item re-
calls an important period in the his
tory of this section-the sale of the
Western North Carolina Railroad in
the early eighties to wv. J. Best and
his associates" The sales was made
by a special session of the Legisla-
ture, called by Governor Jarvis. Mr..
Best took charge and made things
hum, but they hummed at the expense
of his hackers who soon deserted him
and the road passed into the posses
sion of the Richmond and Danville
Road, to later become a part of the
Southern.

County Alliance Meetings.
I-ORANGE.

Editor of The Progressive Farmer:
The Orange County Farmers ALI
ance met in regular session at ALI
ance Headquarters, April g., 1908.
The meeting was we'll attended. All
the subs in the county were repre-
sented and the reports show some
increase in membership. After at
tending to the regular business, we
had a regular experience meeting on
the hows and why's of farming, and
every n seemed to enjoy the occa-
sion. We heard little complaint
from any one. In fact, I believe the
farmers of this section are in better
condition to-day than ever before,
and l mean by this, not only fin
ancially, but mentally and morally.
Now is the time to build up the
Alliance and to continue the good
work that has been started.
Fraternally,
GEO F. CRUTCHFIELD,
Secretary.

II FRANKLIN.
Secretary.

Editor of The Progressive Farmer:
The Franklin County Farmers Al
lance was held in Louisburg on
Thursday, April 9th. The court
house being under way of repair, we
had to seek out a room to hold u
meeting in. Through the kindness
of Messrs. Collie & Beasley, they
rendered to US the use of one of their
warehouse rooms, which was accept
ed, and we take this opportunity to
offer our thanks to those clever
gentlemen for their kindness.
The Alliance was called to order by
u worthy president, Bro. E. M.
Gupton. After prayer by Bro. Mad.
White, the president announced the
order ready for business. The roll
was called and twelve subs were rep
resented, and later on another sub
was admitted, making thirteen subs
in all. All of them we're well repre-
scented. The president appointed the
following brethren as committed on
"good of the Order" Mad. White.
E. n. Williams and w. A. Burnett.
The lecturer and assistant lecturer
offered the following: "That the
COMMITTEE on good of the Order be
empowered by the County Alliance to
assist in reorganizing any subs that
may desire it." The resolution was
adopted.
Well, it will not, perhaps, interest
your readers to go too much into de-
tails. The meeting was very inter-
esting and harmonious. l never saw
a County Alliance more in earnest,
and judging from the speeches of the
brethren they are determined to avoid
some of the mistakes of the past: to
attend to their own business and
let other peoples alone with only
n object in view-that of lettering
the condition of the farmers and
f~urthering the agricultural interests
of the State. Our worthy lecturer,
Bro. II. D. Egerton, gave us a good
lecture. [ think we made no mis-
take in getting him for our lecturer.
[ will conclude by saying the Frank
lin County Alliance adjourned to
meet in the courthouse in Louis
burg at 10 o'clock on second Thurs
day in July.

CITY CLOCK DIAL IS BROKEN
Bullet Breaks Costly Face of the
Clock.

Clock.
Who smashed the large six foot
glass dial of the city clock? This is a
subject now puzzling the police, and
if the clock smasher is caught he will
hear a reading of the riot act and pay a
fine, too.
Take look at the dial on the north
side of the courthouse tower.
And you will see a hole near the
eleven spot big enough to throw a
dog through. The dial was broken by
bullet, evidently fired by a reckless
pigeon shooter.
Several people, who had finished do
ing last year whatever they had to do,
stood in the street yesterday to see the
hole.
Even Blind Tom might have seen
that gaping aperture.
On April 1st. All Fools Day, the
Times Recorder published q none-toc
true story of the breaking of this iden-
tical clock dial by reckless gunner.
Recent events render this fancy story
almost a prophecy.
The hole is there today all right
enough, and regular ''seven come
eleven" break, at that.
There are four of these great glass
dials, six feet in diameter, and they
cost goodly sum. And unless the
broken dial can be "patched" in some
way it will cost goodly sum to re-
place its
