This year has been q nign pTieea
one for all varieties Of cowpeas
The demand was strong through
out the season. They sold all the

eI. What has caused such de-

ling through the farming districts
that the farmers have awakened to
the fertilizing value Of the cowpea
The corn rows and pea meadows
have been increased this year.
Again. the short corn crop OF the
past season has shown that the
most successful feedstuh IN case OF
corn failure IS peavine hay with
short corn rations.
Recently a Claiborne county
planter, who had some late corn,
wrote to his New Orleans agent to
purchase some peas to put between
the rows. The agent went to the
produce center of New Orleans ana
around the French Market, but he
could not get peas, either clay OF
mixed or whippoorwill. He phoneo

but the Poydras street merchants
some weeks ago went all over town
buying all the stray peas that were
among the retailers, as there was q
great demand from the sugar plant
ers. They have been planting then

POWER OF THE RANK AND FILE.

The London Times thinks that Mr..
Bryan has injured his chances for the
nomination for president On the gov
eminent ownership of railroads ques
ton unless he can control the demo-
cratic machine, and in that case "Mr.
ROoseyelt's name alone can evoke on
the republican side to secure another
republican victory"
The Times is mistaken in its idea
of the power of the democratic ma
chine to carry an election. That ma
chine is more powerful in securing
nominations than in carrying cleo
lions. The machine often rides
roughshod over the majority Of the
people of it's party in nominating its
men, and the time was, especially at
the south, when it could force it's
candidates so nominated on the peo-
pie: but that time has passed. The
people have begun to think and to act
for themselves, though the wirepullers
have not yet fully learned the lesson
that is being taught them, and after
one or two defeats u to obnoxious
bossism these w%irepuilers will learn
that it is best for the party that the
masses should be given a hearing in
the matter of making nominations.
We have had recent illustration
right here in our own county Of the
power of the voting mass of the party
when it sees fit to exercise its rights
as the people who do the voting. The
democrats of New Hanover county
saw fit at the last primary 10 express
their desires as to a certain Office and
they did so in such positive manner
that those few who were opposed to
press desires of the people as cellar
ed by their votes in that primary.
That was as clear and emphatic as
sertiOn of the power Of the people to
rule when they max up their minds
to do 50 as has come under our obSer-
walton since we have been old enough
to lake note of the conduct of polical
matters in this state. The people Of the
county-the democratic voters-claim-
ed the right to be heard in that mat
ter. They expressed their opinion and
gave u~tterance to their desires, and
their wishes were he 1de1. 1t was
truly d case of rule of the party by
the members of that party.

WHAT THE ORIGIN OF THE NAME?

There is near our city a stream
which has a mama peculiar in several
respects. In the first place the exact
name is in dispute, and in the next
place the origin Of the name is in
doubt and variously explained by the
oldest inhabitants" who have had it
handed down by tradition. The stream
is a small one to the southwark of our
city. It is called in local vernacular
"Jumpanrun." Some say the correct
name is jumping Run; others that
i. is Jump and Run" and that this
name is derived from an incident in
the Revolutionary war which had its
origin in an order issued by a British
officer TO his men who, while doing
picket duty along thar stream, were
surprised by a superior force of
Americans His order amounted 70
telling his men TO get owe the stream
as quickly as possible and to lose nc
time in seeking safety in the rear.
The proper spelling of the name and
it's origin, SO far as we know, has never
been settled, but the following from
the Kinston Free Press may throw
some light On the subject. 1t seems
that near that town there is a stream
which bears the same name, or, rather,
one of the names given to the one in
this county. It may be that the rule
of this chief Of the TuscarOras extend
ed into this section and that the nam
ing of this stream dates back to a
time prior to the surprise of the Brit
ISL soldiers on it's banks. Will some
of our readers who delve in such lore
give us the proper name of this stream
| and it's true derivation?
In regard to the Lenoir county
stream of the same name the Free
| Press says this as to the derivation
it's name:
Mr.. D. L. Mallard, of Jones county,
| was in The Free Press office this
morning and exhibited what is prob
ably an old Indian stone battle ak,
which he found on Mussel Shell farm,
Mr.. Lewis Kings place. Mr.. Mallard
says the TuScarOraS lived in hat sec
ton years ago and the relic is very
likely one used by them in warfare.
| He says tradition has it that Jumping
Run. a famous chief, resided almost
in that exact locality and a stream
there is ramed for him.

BJILDING NEW COTTON MILLS

From all the cotton mill sections OF
this state comes LEWIS Of new mills
being erected or additions TO old ones.
The Cannons are preparing to build
two large mills at a point on the South
ern a few miles from Concord where
they will establish q model factory
town. Some of the enterprising busi-
ness men of GastOnia have begun rails
ton mill for that county. By the time
the books were opened one half of the
capital stock of one hundred thousand
dollars had been subscribed and the
balance can be easily raised. Al Rock
ingham, one Of our leading cotton mill
towns, and the pioneer town OF the
state in this business, the Roberdel fac
tory is about completing an addition
which will provide space for twenty
five hundred more spindles and Ii
hundl ed and twenty looms.
By the way, the name Of this factory
has q rather peculiar derivation. 1t
is named after the late Mr.. Robert l..
Steele, the organizer and first president
of the company. Rockingham is and
has for years been full of Steeles. This
particular, Mr.. Steele, viii was, a court
ly and affable gentleman and very
popular with all who knew him. was
always called Robert L." by his close
friends, but in pronouncing it they
ran the first name and the initial to-
gether in such a way as to give the
sound Of "Roberdal". In compliment.
to him the mill was given the name he
went by among his intimate friends.
This progress in cotton mills building
is going on in all sections of the
state. Soon North Carolina will have
to draw on other southern states for
raw material to supply her mills.

is a difficult matter to secure b es-
Establishment Of a new county in this
Estate. Legislators are generally OPP
Iposed to such propositions, and the
advocates must make an exceptionally
good showing to get such a bill through

however, that the High Point people
lcan present a meritorious case, and no
harm can be done by leaving the ques-
ton to a vote Of all the people con-
lcerned.
