\ Phenomenal Yield From Two and
q Half Acres of Land.

(Wadesboro Messenger and Intelligent
cer)
Mr.. James l.. Pratt. one of the best
known citizens of Morven, was in
Wadesboro yesterday and while here
told the M. d 1. of the remarkable
productiveness of two and one-half
acres of land. lying in the town of
Morven, cultivated by him this year.
Last February Mr.. Pratt sowed oats
on this land and from it harvested
210 dozen bundles. After the oats
were cut the land was planted in corn.
Recently the corn was gathered, and
by actual measurement the yield was
shown to be 200 bushels, or so bushels
to the acre.
This phenomenal yield of both oats
and corn illustrates most forcibly the
immense possibilities of an acre of
rich land thoroughly cultivated
Mr.. Pratt also this year raised a
sweet potato that lacked just one
ounce of weighing nine pounds.

the Raleigh Hospital no inebriate has
been treated in over a year, and there
are thirteen pay patients. AS long as
there is an INDECENT insane person
vainly knocking for admission, that
is thirteen too many.

DON'T SELL AN ACRE.

The State Board of Education acted
wisely in declining to give options on
swamp lands in Eastern North caro-
lima. They have disposed of much of
it at prevailing prices. Every acre OF
timber land in the world is steadily
going up in price. If the Board Will
just sit steady in the boat it can with
in a few years sell that land at price

MAKE ANOTHER PROPOSITION
Gold Brick Men arc Now E.ndeavoring
to Gain Freedom by Paying a Fine
of S., OcO Each.

The gold brick men are using every
effort to gain their freedom and row
that all efforts 10 get a pardon have
failed they are eh~deavoring to get our
by the payment of a fine. The last
proposition made by their attorneys
was to get the governor to commute
their sentence 10 a fine. They are will
ing to pay $4,000 each to gain their
freedom.
1t is not known as yet what the gov
eronr expects to 10 in regard to this
proposition, but some think it very
probable that the proposition will be
accepted. Howard, Hawley and Daily
the three gold brick swindlers, were
tried and convicted in June, 1901.
Howard and Hawiey were given 10
years each and Daily got Z years. Judge
w. B. Council, wi:o held court here dur
ing the past week. was the judge ~,o
presided at the trial. The case was in
Guilford county dad it will be renlem-
bered that they tried to sell a god
brick to Paul Garrett, of Weldon, wao
met them at Greensboro.
After being in the penitentiary about
one yea Daily was pardoned, his at
torneys arguing that he came of a good
family in Chicago and that Howard and
Hawley persuaded him to join them
without his realizing what kind ,t
scheme they were working. Recently
efforts have been made to get Cover
nor Glenn to pardon Howard and Haw-
ley, the attorneys now saying that
Daily was the guilty one of the trio.
Dailys petition for a pardon was sign
ed by Senator Mason, Of Illinois, AMI q
number of the most prominent men in
the state Of Illinois.
When the men were convicted efforts
were made to change the sentence AMI
fine them $4,000 each instead OF SEE
fencing them to terms in the peniten-
tiary. This the judge at that tue
would not adhere to. Conditions have
now changed, The two prisoners re-
naming in the penitentiary having
served more than four years.
! When the men were tried warrants
were inreadiness 20 be served on TENN
from South Carolina where it was be-
lieved that they were the same gang
that had swindled a farmer in that
state out of a considerable sum a few
years previous. Every circumstance, ce-
scription of the men and all went 10
show that it was the same gang.
Whether or not the South Carolina
authorities want the lei now is not
known. If the men are allowed to pay
the fine the $4,000 will go to the
school fund.
