Prof. Carlyle for Governor.
(Lumberton Argus.)

We have an educational Governor !;
suppose we next have an educator for a
Governor? Lawyers and farmers and even
preachers have had their turn in politics,
now why isn't it the teachers turn?
There is no more momentous question
than the educational one. Governor Ay-
cock has proved an eyangel of education,
bunt who is to take up his mantle when
it falls from his shoulders next year ?
Where is the man for the hour? We
know him, and all Robertson county will
second his nomination. Furthermore, we
believe his candidacy would find an. en-
thusiastic reception throughout the State.
He is a peoples man; he is a teacher
and a good one ;he is an orator and al
ready the welkin has often rung with his
eloquent appeals for the education of the
youth He is the man for Governor, next
to the peerless Aycock. 1t is John B.
Carlyle, whom, we doubt not, Wake, his
adopted county, would rejoice with his
mother Robson in seeing honored with
the nomination for Governor. Carlyle is
the logical candidate.

NORTH CAROLINA CHIvALRY.

NORTH CAROLINA CHIVALRY.
Chicago Record Herald.
1t appears that Southern chivalry is not
memory after ALL The dispatches
tell us of a recent battle on Quaker
Mountain, near Raleigh, N. c., which was
participated in by about dozen residents
of the "Old North State" who We're en-
deavor4ng to settle neighborhood feud.
While the bullets were being exchanged
in rapid succession one of the gallant Tar
Heels called out:
Boys. stop shooting till those ladies get
past"
1t appears that picnic party had acct
dentally strayed into the zone of battle,
and the firing ceased Immediately on both
sides when the presence of the ladies be-
came known. After they had passed the
fight was resumed. one man being killed
and several badly wounded
All honor to the North Carolina
feudists. Where a neighborhood quarrel
can be suspended to let ladies pass chiv-
airy is not a mere tradition. At the
same time it might be well in future for
people who wish to have picnics in North
Carolina to send scouts ahead for the
purpose of finding out whether feuds are
being settled or not. Even with such
gallantry as was displayed by the fighters
on Quaker Mountain accidents might hap
pen in the absence of reasonable precau-
tions by the picnic parties.

Wheat Cutting in the Snow.
(Corn Cracker.)

/ wish to state in the interest of truth
that Col. Amos Owens did not sell all
of Cherry Mountain He retains his
castle and many of his vassals. To verify
what that veracious old citizen says as
to that little cold snap in 1880, the colonel
cut wheat that year wearing Arctic over
shoes, drank three quarts OF corn whiskey
and cut 1875 shocks of wheat and tied it.
He generally cut 240 shocks a day then.
but says snow being IA inches deep, he
could not get along as well as he might
otherwise.
If anybody doubts this. / shall get the
affidavit of Uncle Billy Noble, who is 81,
and cut wheat the same day. and in the
same snow He cut and bound 1870 shocks,
and said it looked funny to see wheat
shocked in the snow.

OPENING FOR NORTH AROLINA's
BEST PRODUCT.

The most delicious product of North
Carolina is the scuppernong grape. 1t is
grown only in the Eastern and Southern
portions of the State and is the best thing
that mortal man ever tasted. Until re-
Gently there has been no market that en-
sale, and the recent demand has been
limited. It seems now that there is to be
a steady and permanent market. and that
farmers will have another choice money
crop.
Todays Southern Pines Free Press will
contain the following:
10000 ACRES FOR sCUPPERNoNGs
AND A GUARANTEED PRICE OF FROM
50 CENTS TO IS CENTS PER BUsHEL
FOR ALL THAT CAN BE GROWN IN
TIE NEXT TWENTY-FIVE YEARS.
When the Free Press man meets l.p
with such interesting and learned men Dis
Prof. George c. HussmaH, an expert in
Viticulture. for the United States Govern
menf at Washington, he at once begins to
feel for a pencil. Professor Hussman spent
several days with us the past week, and
visited among the peach and grape grow
ers. Besides carefully looking around for
rot and other hesetting troubles with the
fruit. he is here especially to talk about
growing scuppernong grapes.
Professor Hussman says that we have
SOC, 900 acres of land in North Carolina
that viii grow the scuppernong-and
which Is not much good for anything else.
And by estimating a little we see that an
acre OF ground will hold 10 separate
vines-or arboTs, as we often call them,
and that every season each vine will pro.
duce from FIVE to fifteen bushels of grapes
Let Us make it easy and take the more
conservative view-just for example: One
hundred vines to the acre, producing five
bushels TO the vine, and at a selling price
OF 50 cents. gives US $3.50 And the beauty
OF it is. the very small outlay for cars
and keeping after the vine is planted.
Professor Husslnan says that he will give
us the name of parties now who viii con-
tract for thousands OF bushels, guarantee
ing the sum of not less than IS cents, and
il the best quality IS cents.
Special instructions in cultivating and
manner OF marketing can be had by com
municating with Professor Hussman, and
we honestly believe that people in this
section could strengthen their bank ac-
counts by planting the scuppernong grape
vines.
And the entire section of the country,
from Richmond south into Florida should
at once become interested-for it is the
natural home of this grape. The Free
Press will gladly take the names all per,
sons interested, and can furnish them spe.
cial information as to culture, market
ing, etc.
Heretofore the world has been denied
the blessing of scuppernong grapes, but
Professor Hussman is confident that by a
method OF picking and preparing TOR
market. these luscious grapes can be en-
Joyed in New York and Boston. If he
can do this he will make the residents Of
the northern section of the country think
they are slipping the nectar of the gods.

THE DICK MILITIA Law.
Maj. =. 3. McKethan opposes N. C. Surrender
ing Right to Maintain state Militia
Fayetteville, N. C.. July /, Is

Fayetteville. N. c., July l, 1903.
To the Editor:
some months ago, at meeting OF the
officers of the North Carolina State
Guard. held in the city of Raleigh, to
consider the National Militia bill. known
as the Dick bill. it was moved and carried
that the bill be adopted.
In his opposition at that time to the
adoption OF the bill, the writer (the only
enlisted man presently stated that no one
had the power to enlarge the terms of the
enlistment contract, or to change this from
State to National service, without tne in
dlvldual coSsent of the enlisted men.
Since that time, by an act of the Leg
lslature, the name of the North Carolina
State Guard has been changed to the
North Carolina National Guard: and we
are now informed that under the terms
of our enlistment each man is liable, un.
der court martial, to nine months ma
tionaI service under the call of the Pfesi
dent of the United States.
AS an enlisted man, Of several years
standing, in the North Carolina State
Guard, wish to state now, as l did pub.
iicly b1ore the officers meeting, that ]
/ am ready to do any State service
that may be required of me under my
State enlistment, from July /, 1901 to
July l. 1904, but in National emer-
gency. as in 1898, l claim the right to
volunteer or not, as l see fit. 1t was
then Tin 1889 my privilege and honor
on failing to get accepted command of
my own to head company enrolment
under the first call Whether or not, |
shall do SO again, should the emergency
arise, must be left to my sense of duty
and patriotism, not to any obligation inn
posed upon me under the Dick bill.
AS a citizen more than Is and less
than 40 years of age, l am liable along
with all othersr of like age, to service
when needed. as an enlisted man in the
North Carolina State Guard, / agreed
ITO serve faithfully as soldier in the
State Guard for the term of three years.
to do that and no more.
Generally as to the Dick bill. am op-
posed to North Carolina surrendering
the right to maintain an organized State
militia apart from National control (Const.
of the u. S., End amend; Const of N. c.,
art. /, Sec 24), "a well regulated militia
being necessary to the security of free
