The possible appointment OF ex-senator
Pritchard to the position of Chief Justice
of the Supreme Court of the District of
Columbia at Washington, upon the re-
tire1nent of Chief Justice Bingham in the
very near future, will compel him to re-
sign as State Chairman OF his party and
as the North Carolina member of the Re
publican National Committee. COnse-
quently there is already much activity
among the Republican politicians who
wish to step into one or the other OF the
discarded pair of official shoes. 1t is gen.
orally conceded that it will take two of
them to fill them-the inference being
that Senator Pritchard is twice as large
and important and able as any other
Republican in this State, which is prob
ably correct.

TOBACCO EXPERTS TO VISIT THIS
STATE.

For some time experts under the
direction OF the United States Agrl-
cultural Department have been at
work in Pennsylvania, Connecticut,
New Jersey and elsewhere expert
mrnting with the culture OF Cuban
and Sumatra tobacco. Experiments
are also being made in Texas as
heretofore mentioned in these col
umns. Senator Simmons has been
interesting himself in having similar
exDprimpnte made in North Carolina,
and his efforts have been successful
As we learn from an exchange he has
been advised by Secretary OF Agricul-
ture Wilson that experts will be sent
to North Carolina this year to give
object lessons in the production OF
Sumatra tobacco. it was through
the instrumentality of Mr.. Simmons
that the appropriation for this eNpe-
rimental work was very materially
increased. \ similar appropriation
was last wear secured in the House
by the late Congressman Moody,
but as all experiment agents were
engaged i'll Pennsylvania and Con-
necicut, none were sent to North Car
DINA.

for those and 2 volumes of ''Beecher's
Sermons" and Life of Andrew Jack

Since writing the above Mr.. Hicks
phones the GOLD LEAF to say that
two more of his books have been re-
covered, or at least located. Mr..
Cad Wright, who lives out in the
country, called at his office Tuesday
afternoon to say that he had "David
Harum" and the "Leopard's Spots"
He borrowed them from Mr.. Hicks
brother, Mr. II. B. Hicks, and has
had them but short while.
This makes three OF Mr.. Hicks
books accounted for and the GOLD
LEAF only took up the search a week
ago. And if it does no more we be-
lieve this is enough to convince our
friend that there is virtue in printers
ink, and when you put it in the GOLD
LEAF it pays. But Others if not the
entire list of books named will be 10
Gated and recovered, we are conf
dent Of that.

Texas Farmers Raising Hogs.

Mr.. Tom Frazier of Horgan. Tex.
was at the stock wards recently. and
talked with enthusiasm Of hogs. Mr.
Frazier l.; president of the Texas
State Swine Breeders association
and is a breeder Of fine hogs. He
saws there is IA general awakening
among the farmers of this state to
the better ones, and he believes that
in a short time Texas will have
enough hogs on hand TO keep the
Fort Worth packing houses going
to their limit.
"There isn't breeder of good
hogs in Texas who can keep up with
his orders" said Mr.. Frazier. 81
have been over the state recently
and know this to be fact. The
breeders all tell me that there is an
unprecedented demand upon them,
and they cannot fill their orders.
"We can raise hogs cheaper in
Texas than anywhere else in the
country" he continued. Our win
tcrs are mild, and hogs can be run
on wheat fields or grass paSturage
and make growth through the win
ter, when up North they have to
be housed and fed. Our farmers
have got to get rid Of the old no
ton that it takes corn to raise hogs.
Corn is good thing to finish off
Il hog for market, but a good pasture
of grass is best for the pigs. As
long as we can raise bermuda grass,
alfalfa. sorghum, milo maize. katlir
corn and other forage crops we can
raise hogs. Start out with wcll-hred
pigs. and give them some attention,
and they will make money. even
with prices lower than they are now.
'Say what you will, these pack
ing houses are the biggest things in
Texas for the farmer. They make
a market for his hogs, and he
doesn't have to send 20 Kansas City
or st. Louis and lose all his profit
in freight and shrinkagc.'
The State Swine Breeders asso-
citation meets at Plano the second
Tuesday III January. This is not an
association of breeders of fine stock.
Any farmer who raises hogs can be-
long to it, and it is doing much for
the swine industry in Tcxas.-Ft.

MORE CRUEL THAN WAR.

A correspondent of the Kansas
City Times revives stirring poem
of which this is the history: A
Southern prisoner of war at Camp
Chase, in Ohio, after pining of
sickness in the hospital of that sta
ton for some time, and contiding to
his friend and fellow captive, Col
onel w. S. Hawkins of Tennessee,
that he was heavy of heart because
his attianced bride IN Nashville did
not write to him, died just before
the arrival of a letter in which the
lady broke the engagement. COL
onel Hawkins had been requested
by his dying comrade to open any
epistle which should come for him
thereafter, and, upon reading the
letter in question, penned the fol-
lowing versitled answer. The
lines were imperfectly given by
the Southern press just after the
war, adds the New York World,
and deserve revival, if only for the
sake of the corrections requisite to
do justice to their sentiments to
win for them wide appreciation:
MY FRIEND.
Your letter, lady, came too late,
For heaven had claimed its own;
All, sudden change-from prison
bars
Unto the great white throne!
And yet | think he would have
stayed,
To live for his disdain,
Gould he have read the careless
words
Which you have sent in vain.
So full of patience did he wait,
Through many weary hour,
That DER his simple soldier faith
Not even death had pow'r;
And you-did others whisper low
Their homage in your ear,
As though amongst their shallow
throng
His spirit had a peer'
| would that you were by me now,
To draw the sheet aside
And see how pure the look he wore
The moment when he died.
The sorrow that you gave to him
Had left its weary trace,
And 'twere the shadow of the Cross
Upon his pallid face.
"Her love- ne said, "could change
for me
The winters cold to spring."
Ah, trust of tickle maiden's love,
Thou art bitter thing!
For when these valleys, bright in
May,
Once more with blossoms wave,
The northern ViOletS shall blow
Above his humble grave.
Your dole of scanty words had been
But one more pang to bear,
For him who kissed unto the last
Your tress of golden hair;
! did not put it where he said, !
