Old Time Wind Mil.

The Echo, Of Rocky Mount,
says that there is an old time
wind mill on the Monticello farm,
the home of the late Col. W. W.
Caraway, in Lenoir county; OF
rather the remains of one, for the
mill was erected in the thirties
and has about sucUumbed to the
ravages of the elements. The
method Of grinding was to put a
few bushels of corn in the hopper
Oh Monday and on Saturday &c
back after the meal, which would
be ground by that time. The
Echo also says chat on this same
farm there is a deposit of Fullrr's
earth that for years, and even
now, has been carried off by some
people who eat it. Their con-
plexion, it is stated, shows them
to be dirt eaters"

Labor Troubles.

It is to be regretted that we
have disagreemen:s between the
employed, it has always been SO
and will continue to b. so long
as men, on either side, fail to live
by the Golden Rule. This is the
only principle capable Of universal
application, and when men come
to abide by it labor troubles will
cease. It is unfortunate for either
employers of labor or laborers
themselves to be led by men who
have no regard for the teachings
of the Sermon on the Mount, but
are controlled by motives of sell
fshness alone. Yet such is often
the case and in. all such cases,
thousands are caused to suffer be-
cause Of the selfshness and indis-
cretion of the misguided leader.

Attorney HoIton's Trick.

In the trial of the Smoot coun-
terfeiters last week in the federal
court, the evidence as to the guilt
of Mrs. Smoot was conclusive, and
while it was also certain that her
husband was too, there were GER
Jain things that must be proved
in order to convict him. One of
these was that he wrote two letters
signed &c. ". Smith," found in
Mrs. Shoots grip with the coun.
terfeit money. Accordingly Mr..
Holton had secret service agent
Thomas ransacking Wilkes and
Ashe counties for specimens Of
Shoots writing, but he failed to
find a scrap. On the morning OF
the trial Thomas called on Mr..
Holton and told him that Smoot
wanted the two gold watches taken
from Mrs. Smoot. This was his
chance and Mr.. Holton was quick
too see it. He had the watches
sent but he also had Smoot to
write a receipt and sign it, for the
watches. The writing of the let
ters and receipt was Identical and
it furnished evidence that landed
Mr.. Smoot in the penitentiary.

one OF the most profitable machines

miles of me there are ten or twelve

the old style of spreading manure
The manure that works best is, of
course, rotted manure. but It is a good
plan to mix the different kinds of

better both for the team and man A
