To Move Wire Fences.

1t often becomes necessary to move
a fence from one part of the farm to
another. 1t is Il simple matter to move
posts, but the wire presents a more
difficult problem. The most common
method is to slowly and laboriously
roll it up Oh n barrel, haul it to the
place where it is wanted and as slowly
unroll 1t again. A much better and
quicker way is to take couple of old
wheels, the larger the better, and fas-
ten them together by mailing pieces of
board to the spokes next the axle.
The wheels when fastened together
should be about two feet apart. Now
take two planks and fasten firmly to
the sides of the wagon box so they
will extend backward about four feet.
Mount the wheels on these planks SO
they will turn easily. Fasten one end
of the wire to one of the boards that
connect tie wheels and drive nstride
of the wire. One man turns the wheel
while the other drives. and the wire
can be rolled UP as fast as the team

1--WE WANT BUD BACK"
A Plea From Two Old Time Darkies
to the SeabOard Air Line.

"My boy is gone and 1 want him back,
said an old colored woman, one OF the
class whom we OF the South call "aunty,
as she filed into the local rooms OF the
News and Observer office last night.
Close behind her was an apologize
looking figure, an old time Southern dar-
key, the uncle of the kind that Joel
Chandler Harris told of when FROM mem
ory's golden casllet he re-incarnated the
-"Uncle Remus" of the South. White his
hair and with hat in hand he humbly
stood. picture of submission, back OF his
wife.
1t was Mandy High and her husband,
George High. Mandy, be it known, does
washing and ironing. She looks like she
does it well. George cuts wood and then
totes it in when he can. He is not strong
and his eyes looked sad last night.
Husky was his voice and there were
unshed tears in Mandy's tones as she
told her story.
'The Governor, said he, would do all
he could, and told me to see you, said he
''and to tell you that they had stolen my
bow from me- Who did it, you say?
Why. that white man that took those
hands to Georgia to work on the rail
L
saw him. Ny boys name is Bud; Bud
High. He's fifteen years old"
Yes, we want Bud Back" put in old
man George, as he nervously fingered
the brim of a butered hat.
Hes my boy, and l want him." con-
tinued Mandy He's been a good boy
and works at a fish stall in the market.
He used to work for Mr. Crocker He
didn't come home two night ago, and
they told me he had gone to Georgia.
I need him, for my old man can't work
much Please, Mister, help me to get
him back, for he amt of age and they
ought not to have taken him."
And the newspaper man promised, and
tries to fulfill his promise by writing this
little story 1t is only about two old ne.
groes and negro lad, but there are two
aching hearts for that boy in Raleigh.
He's in Atlanta, or theerabOuts, working
on an extension of the Seaboard Air Line
it is understood, and if these lines should
fall under the eye of any of the Seaboard
folks, why send Bud back to Raleigh,
won't YOU?
Two disconsolate forms stood near this
writer's side a few minutes ago. They
are gone now, and the door has shut
upon the abject sorrow of their figures
yet the anguish in their voices drifts
back. L want my boy said Mandy
"We want Bud back said George Is
the cry too far to Atlanta and to off
cial ears?
Perhaps not, and then perhaps wher
Bud comes home the tears of joy will
trickle down the withered black faces
and mothers arms, an ''old black mann
my's' arms will enfold her boy, while
George, with faltering voice will say
Buds back at home"
