$4,000 FOR a SINGLE FARM.

Owned BY the Holt FamiIy--contanis
Over 600 Acres--Thirty-six Bushels
of Wheat to the Acre.
The we'll known Holt farm in
the Jersey settlement of Davidson
County has been sold by the Holt
heirs to w. g. Penny and Frank
Hargrave, of Lexington, the consid-
Grafton, it is said, being $4,000.
The farm contains more than 600
acres, and is conceded to be the finest
property in Davidson County. 1t
was owned before the civil war by
the late DR.. Holt, of Lexington.
After the war it was sold and te-
came the property of Gov. Thomas
Holt, who improved it a great deal
1t was his "pet" and he paid much
attention to it, 80 that at the time of
his death it was the finest farm in
North Carolina. About 400 acres
are now in cultivation and large
yields are reaped from it. One field
or about $50 acres has an average of
wheat to its credit of about thirty
six bushels to the acre. Fine farms
are on all sides of this tract, and
were, it is said, originally part of
the Holt property. The land is level
in the main and lies beautifully
everywhere. The farm extends right
up to the town of Linwood and af-
fords factory sites and room for the
town of Linwood to grow into 9
prosperous place.
A Lexington man tells the Dis
patch he could have bought this
farm seven years ago for $4,000
and declares that if the property had
been known to be for sale it would
have brought much larger price,

"WHAT IS a DEMOCRAT p

In the Washington Post we find
the following editorial copied from
the New York World:
"With crushing scorn the Albany
Argus informs the country that the
World 'has not had a democratic
thought or drawn a democratic
breath or experienced democratic
instinct or sentiment in more than a
decade.' If this charge be true, the
World must be almost as un-demo-
cratic as the democratic party itself.
"But what is democrat in this
particular year of the Lord? If Mr..
Bryan is a democrat, what is Mr..
Cleveland? If Mr.. Cleveland is a
democrat, what is Mr.. Hearst? If
Mr.. Hearst is Il democrat, what is
Judge Parker? If Judge Parker is
a democrat, what are Murphy, Con-
ners, and McCarren? IF they are
democrats, what is Woodrow Will
son? If he is a democrat, what is
Tom Taggart? If Taggart is dem
ocrat, what are Daniel, and Rayner,
and Culberson, and Morgan, and
John Sharp Williams? And if they
are democrats, what are Ryan and
Belmont?' '
Coming down to State politics
we should like to know If Mr.. 10
sephus Daniels is a democrat, what
are the editors of the Charlotte Oh
server, Wilmington Messenger and
Raleigh Times? If the Fifth Distric
Combine are democrats, what are thu
anti-Combine democrats There Art
twenty-six other varieties in thi
State, but we will await answers tt
the above questions, before asking
in regard to the others. ALI an

TWO MONTHS LONG ENOUGH.

The editor Of the Biblical Recorder
thinks the State legislature should
sit six months every four years, In.
stead of two months every two
years. He thinks the members need
more time to discuss the important
measures which they must enact or
decline to enact.
We can't zee how the Recorders
suggestion could work for the public
good. If the legislature met for six
months every four years wouldn't
it mean that the farmers and busi-
ness would necessarily be debarred
from being members of the leglsla
ture, and that the professional poll
ticians would be left to enact our
laws? We have too many of the
"professionals" in our legislature
now, simply because our business
men and farmers can't spare the
time to make the campaign and
then come to Raleigh for two
months. If the term was for six
months still fewer of them could
come and the pie brigade would have
too easy access to the States treasury.
Besides, it seems to us that two
months is plenty long to enact all
the laws necessary If the legislatures
would only get down to business
when they meet here. During the
last session of the Legislature not a
single important law was enacted
until the closing days Of the term
If they had spent less time In taking
local selfgovernment away from Re-
publican Counties and had spen:
more time enacting legislation for
the good of the State there would
have been no need for rush at the
close of the session. If the people
of Pitt County don't want goats uD-
der their schOol-houses and churches
let them nail up planks around the
stills of the buildings and keep them
out. No legislative enactment
should be necessary. If the legisla
ture were to stay in session six
months every goat in North Caroline
would be afraid to cross public road
for fear of violating the law!

WHY THE TRUSTS WILL NOT BE REcu.
LATED

The democrats have been great
howlers against the trusts, but when
the State legislature was discussing
an antitrust bill many OF the MEM
bers wanted the bill framed so a.
not to touch certain trusts in the
State. The Greenville Reflector, a
democratic paper, has come to the
conclusion that when 1t comes to
regulating trusts it just depends
upon whose OK Is gored. The Re
flector says:
"Sift the thing down, and you
cannot tackle any trust without hit
ting somebody. That Is why it is
80 hard to get any of them regula.
ted"
And that possibly accounts for the
fact that some of the trusts in this
State were not touched by the anti
trust law enacted by the recent leg
islature.

Will the Seaboard Short Cut Leave

Will the Seaboard Short Cut Leave
Raleigh Out -?
There Is considerable anxiety in
Raleigh over information that has
developed the past few days that the
Seaboard Air Line has corps of en-
gineers at work surveying a ''cut-
of" line from a point several miles
north of Raleigh to Cary, eight
miles west of Raleigh, with a view
of shortening the main line fifteen
miles for the through travel.
The most comfortable explanation
of the situation and purposes of the
Seaboard is that the ssshort cut''
will be used only for through freights
and the "Florida Limited" trains
while Raleigh will still be 'son the
map" for the stops of the regular
passenger trains.
