StateSVl!Ie Landmark, June l9Jn.
It was foretold in these dis
patches Sunday, that some chang
es were scheduled to take place
among the Federal office holders
of North Carolina. This state
ment WAS made advisedly. The
President today transmitted to
the Senate the nomination of Geo.
H. Brown, the Statesville banker,
to succeed Collector Harkins, of
the Western internal revenue dis
trlct. Mr.. Browns appointment
to this office, one of the two large
Federal offices in the State, car
rying salary almost as large as
that received by members of Con-
gress, and with much patronage,
was made at the instance of Con-
gresham Blackburn.
F. T. Meacham, superintendent
of the State farm, has been notl-
fed that the State Agricultural
Department will furnish to any
farmer sufficient alfalfa seed to
plant one acre, and will also furn-
ish material for inoculating the
s9el. No charges will be made
by the department, the only re-
quirements being that every farm
er taking advantage of the offer
must made reports as to results.
All applications for seed should
be addressed to Mr.. Meacham and
must be received before July 1st.
The Landmark has received an
anonymous letter from nearby
point asking what we "thlnk of
man who will curse his old moth
er?" What we think of such
mall would hardly do to print.
While we usually pay no atten-
tion to anonymous letters, we do
not wars to think there is man
in the county of the kind de-
scfibed. If there is, his neigh
bors should attend to his case,
there being no law to reach him.

StatesviIle Landmark, June 22nd.
The sunshine of this week has
given the farmers opportunity to
make good for the lost time sus'
tain d on account Of the rains
last week. The wheat is being
saved and the grass killed. It is
understood that while the wheat
was damaged by the rains, tho
damage is not 80 great as was
feared. Some cut before the wet
spell set il sprouted in the shock.
and some standing over-ripe in
the fields fell down, but the sun
shine has worked wonders, and
with care there may be good
crop.

sultation with his friends here.
