MIR. McCLELLAN'S ELIGIBILITY

account of stormy weather. The OUT
look now, however, is very good. Fine
supplies of trout, blue fish, croakers
and founders are coming in large
quantities.
Robesonian: There is no use say
ing or believing that the farmers who
represent 80 per cent of the popula-
ton of North Carolina cannot organ
ize themselves effectively. They not
only can do it, but they must and we
believe they will, do it speedily.
Fender Chronicle: The buckle
berry business promises to be a great
and profitable industry for Fender
County in the course of a very few
years. They are plentiful and fare
of a very fine quality, and those who
have shipped any of the fruit find
that they bring good prices in the
Northern markets. We hear that Mr..
J. III. Murray's children, of South
Washington, picked and sold about
$75 worth of huckleberries this sea-
son, which gives only an idea of what
can be done.
Burlington News: It seems there
is no joke about the construction
of the Durham and Charlotte Rail
road from Pittsboro to Greensboro.
The road is already constructed from
Gulf to Pittsboro. and the work of
grading the line from Pittsboro to
Greensboro will be begun within a
few weeks and pushed to early COM
pletion. We notice that the citizens
of Pittsboro had a meeting the other
night and voted to give them a free
right of way through the city, and
also to give them a site for the depot.
Robesonian, Dist: Cotton is high
er now than the average price reach
ed since 1895. The indications are
that the farmers will have money to
spend during the fall, but they
should not spend largely now on this
expectancy. The crop is not yet
made, nor can we tell what specula-
ton may do in regard to the price.
The probabilities are that the price
will be higher, at the opening than at
the close of the season. Cotton must
be bought at once or many other cot
ton mills must shut down, hence the
demand will be stronger early than
later. AS fast as it opens it should
be ginned and put on the market.
Gastonia Gazette: Four genera
tions of the Kincaid family gathered
at the old homestead one mile from
Pleasant Ridge Saturday for the an
nual reunion. Mr.. and Mrs. j. r.
Kincaid, aged Is and II years re-
spectively, were surrounded by chill
dren, grandchildren and great-grand-
children, there being about eighty in
all. A sumptuous outdoor feast was
spread and old and young alike en-
| joyed a day of unalloyed pleasure.

The progressive farmer. [volume] (Winston, N.C.) 1886-1904, 1903-09-01

Mr.. @. III. Parham, who lives near
Begonia, reports that he cut and
enjoyed a melon having that weight
at his home Sunday. He raised it
from seed out of a melon he bought
last year from Mr.. ]. M. Sloan, the
big Belmont melon-grower.
Duplin Journal: Cotton is open
ing in some parts of Duplin and
Sampson right rapidly. The price
at this time gives hope to our farm
ers generally, but those crop estima-
tors, or rather those government
guessers, will no doubt follow their
usual custom by giving a big crop
this year and lower the price to an,
exceedingly small one this fall.
Charity and Children: Ground
was broken for the Witty building
on last Saturday morning. This
work has been delayed for several
weeks, from various causes, and we
hope there will be no further hind
RANGES until the building is complet-
ed. The architects drawings show
hal the new building will be equally
as handsome and commodious as any
of the other houses on the gronds.
Marshville Home: There are lots
of progressive neighborhoods in this
county that might adopt the local tax
system and have strong and perman-
ent schools for their children. Sew
eral districts in the county have al
ready taken this progressive step, and
they are proud of it. Supplement
your public school appropriation by
local taxation and you'll have a
sound basis for a permanent school,
and it will make you more public
spirited, more liberal and more patri-
otto.
Charlotte Chronicle: Two North
Carolinians have made national repu-
tations as relentless prosecuting law
yers; James W. Osborne, of Char
-lotte, in the Molineux trials and in
the Rice murder case, and others,
while holding the Office of Assistant
District Attorney of New York; and
Mr.. Folk, as Circuit Attorney, in
running to earth the municipal and
legislative boodlers of St. Louis and
Missouri. Osborne is a graduate of
Davidson College and Folk of Wake
Forest.
Mooresville Cor. to Charlotte OBJ
server: Mr.. Julius A. Karriker, for
whom the big coffin was recently
made in Charlotte, died last week at
his home in Rowan County. He
was in his 51st year. The remains
we're inferred at Concordia church.
The large coffin, including box,
weighed 600 pounds. The box in
which the coffin was placed measured
seven feet in length, four feet seven
inches in width and three and one
half feet deep. Since his death the
swelling has left Mr.. Karriker's body
and the coffin is really larger than
necessary. When in perfect health
Mr.. Karriker weighed from $50 to
