A HUGE ADVERTISEMENT
An Atlanta Paper Carries Five Pages

The largest advertisement that ver
appeared in any Southern newspaper
was published in the Atlanta News this
week by n of the leading firms Of the
Gate City. The paper carried i'll n
issue over five full pages, of thirty-six
columns, of the announcements of the

is colossal. We point to this unusual

poses. First to show that the news,

produce a splendid crop of crab grass
hay, as fine hay as is grown anywhere.
This grass seeds itself and all the
truckers have to do to get a good crop
OF hay is to NOW it when ready for
harvesting. Some of the truckers SOW
i'm the grass about a half bushel of
COW peas to the acre and NOV the two
together. This makes a most excel.
lent feed for stock and cattle. The
splendid hay crop made in this way
costs almost nothing.
While there are acres upon acres Of
land in our immediate vicinity under
such cultivation, the trucking industry
ir our midst is really in its infancy az
is shown by the hundreds of acres OF
just as good land as that now under
cultivation which is awaiting the ten
ant and the gardner. The possibilities
of this section for truck gardening are
beyond conception. The men now in
the lead in this business do not realize
what is ahead Of them; still, present
conditions would surprise most of the
people of our city who have not made
personal inspection of what is going on
around them.
1t is surely worth a visit to these
truck farms just to see what these
pioneers in this business are doing. It
was a revelation to The Messenger man

John l.. Gregory, Il white man OF

bis sleeping wife to pieces last Jam

insane department in the penitentiary.
Gregory was taken into court at

physicians the solicitor agreed to ii
verdict that the man was insane. One
witness who testified was Lewis Jones,
under a twenty-year sentence for MUIR
Gering his wife. Jones described
Gregory's queer antics in Jail, often
appearing afraid that some one would
lear him so he would get up at night
and carry on whispering foolish talk.
At times Gregory would be stubborn
or violent. 1t required five men to
drag him into court. If he ecovers his
mind he will be taken back to Wades

OTTR GLASS HOUSE

There is a saying that persons who
live in glass houses should not throw
stones. The Messenger a day Or two
ago took occasion to allude to a piece
of lawlessness which occurred on
Rum Road in the suburbs of a SIS
ter town and went on to say, in sub
stance, that a city with a thorough
fare bearing such a name could but
expect that crime would be committed
in her midst.
A friend calls our attention to the
fact that we have laid The Messenger
open to a very neat retort because of
the name of an historic locality Or
rather legendary landmark near Our
city.
There are few people, though, outside
of our city residents who know any
thing about this famous landmark. Il
is n of the curiosities on the river
which u genial and clever steam
boat captain, John Harper, points out
to his %up-country friends who come
down here during the summer to take
hat pleasant ride on the Cape Fear
on the steamer Wilmington. They
hear of it and go back home WIN
the legend of this famous tree slowed
| away in their memories, but they naye
SO many other and more pleasant
"reminiscences Of that delightful trip
down and up the river that we SUP
| pose few of them ever remember the
| name of this silent sentinel of our
| harbor which has from the time where
of the memory Of man runneth not
i to the contrary, stood sentinel over
the rivers approach to this historic
town.
Under these circumstances it is hard
ly possible that our Elizabeth City
friends will hit back at us. They prob
/ ably do not know the name Of the
landmark to which we allude, but in
case that any of them should remem-
Der it and feel inclined to whack back
at us, we will forestall them by say
ing that nothing can be made out OF
that, for while the origin of the name
and the legend connected with it arc
in doubt the generally accepted theory
is that here in olden times captains GO
ing to sea parted with their friends OF
the city and it was here that the part
! ing dram" was taken and the rive,
man bid bon voyage to his seafarins
friend. So what harm there might
come from this libation to Neptune was
minimiZed by the fact that the pota,
ton was INDUCED in 1T a time when
the jolly sea captain and his crew were
outward bound and our good city could
not suffer from any ill effects of toe
strenuous sacrifices to the god Bac.
. chus. And again, it must be remcn,
bered, that this legendary spot wher,
the parting ceremonies occurred wa:
so situated that there was a plenty o
water convenient for SOLDERING up the
unlucky one who had the misfortune
to imbibe too deeply.
We do not think our venerable
friend of The Economist can come pacl
at us because there happens to be /:
tree on the river bank n mile be
low the city, which has been known
for several generations as the "Dran
Tree"
