]. A. Harp, and family, arrived
Tuesday, from Judsonia, for a
months stay with the family of 1.
N. Vanlandingham north of town.
One of Mr.. Harp's sons, Master
Mckinley, who is only 8 years old
is one of the feshiest children ever
seen in this city heretofore. Fol-
lowing is a short clipping from the
Arkansas Democrat relative to
Mr.. Harp and his son whose
weight is 176 pounds; Harp is a
native of Missouri and came to
Judsonia a short time ago to visit
with his sons. Mckinley, who
was named after the martyred
President of the United States by
an admiring mother, gave no evil
dence of the weight he was soon to
attain, when he was an infant.
His father says he was a "puny"
child until after the second ami
versary of his birth had passed.
Then the boy began to sit up and
take notice, gradually distancing
the children of his own age in size
and weight until at the age of Z
years he weighed over 100 pounds.
Then the father brought him to
Arkansas. Since that time the
child has taken on weight with
rapidity. So we'll does
the Arkansas soil, climate and food
agree with Mckinley that within
the past month his weight has in
creased over 80 pounds. The boy
has a number of photographs of
himself, which were taken after
his clothing had been removed and
they show the fat hanging from
his chest and sides in great rolls.
The boy is an exceptionally hearty
eater, but with the hopes of re-
ducing his flesh, the father has
him to two meals a day.
The elder Harp is a tall raw-boned
man, and his mother is of excel
lent stature, but neither show any
of the surplus weight of the child.

THE BEST YET.

In support Of its contention that ~
lima, the Charleston News and Courier
calls to the witness stand a. S. Buell's
biography. According to that author
ity, when Jackson was born, in 1867,
the exact boundary line between the
TWO Colonial Carolinus was debatabIe:
at least it had never been subjected TO
scientific delimitaton. But the spot
where the McCamie1 cabin lthe house
in which Jackson was born) was, IN
1867, under the unquestionad-or .ath-
er the tacitly adnltted-jurisdictio o.
the Colony of SOUTH Carolina.
Therefore" proceeds the historian,
Andrew Jackson was born in that
Colony. But shortly after the adoption
OF the Federal Constitution in 1889 all
amicable movement for the dennitive
location of the boundary was made.
This brought about survey during
l7o3'si by John Floyd. the result
Of which was a readjustment not onlJ J
OF the line between the two Carollnas,
but also of the south boundary Of Ten.
nessee. So far as concerned the Caro-
linas. but little change was made, the
readjustment nowhere amounting TO
mere than mile or two, and even that
was due to the mere aiShtening Of
old lines that had been carelessly To-
a toI,, . Ia,
Colonial surveys. AT the particular
poirt concerned In this narrative the
old and irregular Line veercd far
enough from true parallel to throw
the site of the N1cCamic cabin on tho
South Carolina side. But F'loyds SUI
vey located the line on the true paral-
| lel, which cut through a small choI
/ of the former erroneous arc and there.
4 by located the McCamic cabin about
/ eighty rods north of the line, in what
| was then (179D Mecklenburg county
but since set off IN what is now Unior
county, North Carolina. Therefore
Jackson, though born in the Co'onin
South Carolina of l767, was also bon
on sol! that became part OF the Stat
of North Carolina in 1891"
, From this it appears that Andrey
Jackson was born in both North Caro-
lima and South Carolina. This Is tn

THE PRIMARY.

There is always an undcrcurrent OF

one sound argument against It, and
that se .ha. :he cost ct the .'sci' Ia"
which bears on the candidates, IS
hardship. and shuts the poor man out
OF the race. That is an argument OF
great force. and one which the friends
OF the system cannot we'll controVeft.
The Times Dispatch has always in
sisted that it is not only unfair, but
contrary to public policy, to saddle the
expenses OF the primary upon the cam
didates, and has insisted that the ac-
tual cost of holding the election should
be borne either by the party or by the
government.
There seems to be growing senti-
,nent in favor of the latter PROPOSE
ton, and we learn that such meas
ure will be introduced in the next
Legislature
The Winchester Star, edited by Hon.
r. L. Byrd, says that the only teasl-
BILE method is to enact general prl-
mary law, open to all parties, the state
paying the expenses"
The Norfolk virginian-Plot says
that it has always been It's opinion

case may be, should defray the actual

evidence that these expenditures have
affected either the number or the char

There is no way of determining how
many candidates have been kept out
of the primary contests by reason o:

to determine how many may be de-
TERED in the future. In any event, the
present method is wrong in principle
and IN policy. against the public in
