Col Cunningham on the Tobacco
Situation.

Col. John S. Cunningham, who was
in the city yesterday and last night,
said that tobacco is selling at much
better prices now than it was last

farmers last fall to hold their tobac-
co as it was her selling too low and
that he was satisfied hal they would
obtain better prices for their to-
bacco.
"I am glad" said he, chat my pre-
diction has come true and that there
has been a decided advance in the
prices of many grades and that the
farmers are getting from forty to

Farming Notes from the East.
Editors Progressive Farmer

This has been the coolest winter
that we have had in thirty years, if
we are to judge from what several
old farmers around us say. Certainly
it was so cold in November that our
cabbage plants did freeze and die in
the bed before we transplanted any
And so it has been all through the
winter; when the ground was not
frozen there was rain. So 1T can be
clearly seer that farm work has been
practically at a standstill.
The high price of May peas last
season caused a rush by the farmers
to plant peas this season. While it
is reported that there will be a large
increase in the acreage of May pas,
at this writing very few have been
planted, and we fear the results from
those that have been planted.
There seems to be a demand for
seed Irish potatoes that the supply
can't meet, especially of our second
crop homegrown seed which is al.
ready exhausted at So per barrel as
the ruling price. Our commission
men complain of the scarcity OF
Northern-grown seed of which they
are selling all they can get at 81 pei
barrel. And this should remind the
farmers of the advantage of raising
his own seed. Almost every farmer
could raise enough seed for his owl
use and even a few barrels more
which would mean a little surplu;
money which might be used to {
good advantage right now. We have
been planting own seed for sew
eral years, and we find that they dom
run down as badly as most people
think they do.
We want every farmer in NORTH
Carolina to prosper this year, and i
you did not take the advantage O.
this so-called wave of prosperity las
year, do it this year. Plan to plan
a variety of crops. Do not pin you:
faith to any one crop. And in tn
variety include some vegetable crops
Some early spring cabbage after
hard winter might bring you a nea
sum of money on your local market
In short, make up your mind tina
you will run no store account thi
year, that you will diversity you
crops, and last, but not least, b
careful about that big cotton GRO
you are thinking about. 1t means
large fertilizer bill and cotton raise,
with high priced labor to buy hig1
priced food stuffs next year.

fifty per cent average more for their
tobacco than they did when the crop
was harvested"
The Colonel says he has not
changed his views in the least from
those expressed in his speeches and
through the press during the fall.
"I advised the farmers them" he said
"to diversity their crops and raise
their supplies at home, and to grow
their cotton and tobacco as the
money crop. 1t is a great mistake on
the part of any one, he declared, to
advise the farmers, whose climate
and soil is suited for the growth of
tobacco, to abandon its cultivation.
On account of the bad seasons the
crop of tobacco grown during the
year 1903 will fall far short in
pounds of the 1902 crop. | think it
will be wise for the farmers who live
in the cotton belt and in the sections
where their lands are suited to peas
and truck to grow these crops along
with their tobaccO.-Raleigh Post.

REACHES RIPE AGE
Mrs. Phoebe Walton Dies at Home i'm
Carbon Cliff Nearing Goth
Year of Her Birth.
LIVED IN COUNTY At YEARS
Remains Are Buried Yesterday at An
daIusia Beside Those of the
Husband of the Deceased.

The remains of Mrs. Phebe Walton,
who died Friday at Carbon Cliff, were
inferred yesterday beside those of her
husband. the late Zachariah Walton. in
the Andalusia cemetery. Services
held at II a. m. were conducted at the
Andalusia Baptist church by Rev.
Thomas Wood. Of Hampton.
Mrs. Walton was one of the pioneers
of the lower end of the county. She
was nearly 80 years of age and had
lived in the county a years. New
York was her native state but she re
moved with her parents early in life
to Indiana and thence to Edgington
township, after she had married. In
1862 the Waltons took up their rest
dence in Andalusia and that was the
home of the family till Mrs. Walton
went two years ago with her son John
ID. Walton. to reside at Carbon Cliff
Married Sixty-Seven Years.
Mrs. Walton and her husband had
been married e. years at the time Of
his death four years ago at almost
the exact age she attained. OF the
seven children born to them four now
survive. Nicholas. of Tyron. Neb. :;
jackson. of OskaloOSa. Iowa; John D..
of Carbon Cliff, and Mrs. J. H. Ballard,
OF Andalusia. Mrs. Walton and 80
years a member of the Baptist church.
During the civil war the husband and
the eldest son. Nicholas. were both
members of the union army. Mrs.
Walton's sacrifice for her country was
not less than theirs for upon her
shoulders fell the duty of caring for
the smaller children during their alb
sence. Her death was caused by all
ments incidental to advanced age

CLAMMERS IN A FATAL FIGHT
Two Men From up the River Killed in
Southern End o. State.

Barney Lancaster. of Princeton.
Iowa. was shot and killed, and p.
Woodruff of Camanche. Iowa, was shot
and fatally injured on the Ohio river
near Shawneetown, H.. Friday by
George Scott, who is still at large.
The three men concerned are all
clam diggers. The two men who were
shot worked together and were out in
their boat dragging for CLANS near
Wabash island. II seems that their
anchor line became entangled with
that of Scott, and he called to them
several times as the boats flOated
down the river. demanding that they
loosen the lines. His calls seemed
to have been UNDECIDED by Lancaster
and Woodruff, and he opened fire upon
them, shooting Lancaster in the left
temple and left arm, and Woodruff in
the back, the ball penetrating the right
lunch. Woodruff also received
wound in the left arm.
According to what can be derived
from the evidence brought forth in
the coroner's inquest. it appears that
no serious threats were made by
either of the injured men and that
SCOTS action was mcalled for. Scott
has not yet been arrested, but it is
thought that he will give himself up
as he has been seen about the town
since the affray. Lancaster's body
was shipped to Princeton. He was
about 40 years of age and a son of
Aaron Lancaster of Princeton. He is
survived by wife and four children.
Woodruff is - years of age. Ian
caster had two pearls. valued at 500,
in his pocket when he was killed.
