THOUGHTS FOR FARMERS.
Neighborhood Ouarrels.

Debate thy cause with thy neigh
Dor himself"
These sentences are from. old vol
ume that is rather too much neglect
ed in these strenuous days. We COM
mend a more diligent study of it to
the farmers. Afew days ago one
man shot another and killed him here
in Suartanburg as the result of a
long standing grudge about real or
imagined trespass. In Anderson, S.
c., this week an excellent citizen
was severely cut by neighbor, the
DISPUTE having arisen about the
transfer of lot. A quarrel over a
line fence, or few feet of land, or
trespassing stock, or fowls comes uD
very frequently. That should not be
so. When anything goes wrong go
at once to the man who caused the
trouble. Go as a neighbor and friend.
Put on no war paint. State your
grievance to him alone and ask for
his version of the affair. Never go
around telling others what a bad
neighbor you have. Do not talk to
others about your disagreements The
good will and friendship of the far
mers whose lands join yours are
worth more than a fowl, or a
stray calf, or destructive pig. Make
un your mind that in all these differ
ences the friendship and affection of
neighbors are most desirable. Never
let your imagination get away with
you. Get at the truth. Do not be-
lieve what reports say. Line fences,
land corners and old roads are great
sources of trouble. It becomes far
mers above all men to settle their dis
putes at home, especially when they
originate from these causes.
Growing Peas.
The average lands of this Piedmont
region are short on humus. Guano
and cotton will not furnish it. Very
little forest land is cleared. The old
lands after holding crops for many
years are much run down. If red
clover would grow here that would
be an admirable source of humus.
But it is difficult to get a stand that
will go through May. Peas is our
great dependence. There is nothing
better. Any one knows how to SOW
or plant and cultivate them. The
best varieties for forage and land
improvement are the Unknown and
CLAW peas. The former is stocky
plant with large root and not dis
posed to run when thick. The Iron
pea is advertised in the lower part
of the State as superior to either of
the above, as it remains green till
frost and does not shed it's leaves.
The early varieties like the Whip
poorwill, the white pea, the sobber
pea and black pea are excellent, and
on fairly rich land will make forage
and peas. Thev may be sown up to
the middle of July. especially on bot
tom land. The late varieties are best

Granville Tobscco Crop Not Increased.
In reply to your inquiry, will say
there is no increase in tobacco, our
main crop, which is nearly all set.
Land very wet. A great many farm
ers have not planted corn, and what
is planted is getting in bad condi-
tion owing to the wet condition of
the land which prevents work. Very
little wheat or oats sown in southern
part of county; more sown in north
ern part, and looking well. If condi-
tion of weather changes to dry the
farmers will have work in good shape
in forty days, as we have hustling
set in our county.
N. H. FLEMING.
Granville Co.. N. @.
Our farmers in this community
and county are organized in the To-
bacco Growers Protective Associa-
tion, and have agreed to reduce the
tobacco crop about 25 per cent, and
we are doing so in the western part
of the county. We do not plant cot
ton here, but do in the southern part
of county. Farmers in this county
are in bad shape financially. Cause:
low price tobacco. We are cutting
off tobacco and are planting about
Is per cent more corn and truck.
Too much rain for wheat. Oats are
fine and promises good crop. We
cordially ask all the counties in the
Bright Belt and sections in eastern
North Carolina to organize in our
Association, and cooperate with us
for better prices for our tobacco.

KISS ONLY I'M PARLOR
WITH A LOW LIGHT.
Philadelphia Judge Declares Safe os.
culation Is That After Which
No Tales Are Told.

Philadelphia.-Judg McMichael, in a
charge to jury the other day, in case
involving a stolen kiss, said:
There has been much rubbish writ
ten by poets and others on kissing.
Cyrano de Bergerac was a notable ex-
ample of a poet who rayed over the mere
pressing of the lips by two infatuated
persons. The only kind of kissing per-
MISSILE under the law is the kind that
occurs in the parlor when the lights are
turned low.
kissing is dangerous and should be
avoided. The cause of the Trojan war
is generally attributed to woman and
a mans desire for kisses.
THE only safe kiss that can be given
is the one after which no tales are told.
"a stolen kiss is no different from
any other stolen article No restitution
can be made, and it is therefore more
grievous.''

In big apartment house in New

earned his name Of Marvel. He
dwells with his mistress on the sew

exercise were he less clever. Marvei's
mistress trusts him to go out alone,
and this is how he goes about it. Does
he tramp down seven flights of stairs?
No, indeed. Marvel walks to the

and with his front paws presses the

to his floor. In saunters Marvel When
he has been out long enough, he again

Old Cy, with his homely speech,
kind heart, and horse sense" was
right, and Martin knew it. 1t was none
the less pitiful, however, and that
night as he, left alone with the two
guides, sat by the campfire watching
its glow and listening to the low wave
wash of the lake, his thoughts flew
far away to vine-hid porch, the
rustling of falling leaves, and fair
face with bewitching eyes. ALI that
last evening with Angie, her willing
efforts to entertain, how he stole the
picture while she sang, and her cool
parting words came back. He had
lived over the old boyish illusion
months ago beside this same lakelet;
it had led him back to Greenvale and
to a new ambition and unrest that
spoiled his peace of mind. And now
back again in this vast wilderness,
with the stars twinkilDg in the placid
lake, it pursued him still and would
not be put away. 1t had been almost
four weeks now since he left Green
vale, the leaves were turning, and he
was anxious to get back for many rea-
ment which he had in thoughtless
moment offered to assist, the coming of
his friend as its pastor, and his own
hobby of trout raising. They were all
ties of more or less strength, but chief
of all was Angie.

guides were asleep in their bark shell

1t was not a reassuring report
For three days Martin passed the
time as best he could. He killed a
deer and sent half up to the hermit,
who, with old Cy was hard at work
cutting and piling winters store of
wood. He added few brace of part

called on the two who were now liv-

OF one day, as he stood watching Levi
and Jean busy preparing their evening
meal, he heard canoe crate upon the
sandy beach close by, and, looking up,
saw the two officers just landing.
