There is Money in Bees.

Mrs. Emma Shugart, who lives
one mile east of Jonesville, has
demonstrated the fact again this
year that there is money in bee Gull
ture. For the past fifteen years or
more Mrs. Shugart has been giving
much Of her attention to the bee
business. She now has an extensive
spiary at her home besides two ad-
ditiOnal apiaries ON this side of the
river in surry County. By much
study and attention to the subject
she learned to handle them as easily
and more intelligently than the
ordinary housewife handles her
chickens.
The honey season for this year is
now practically over, and as a result
of this years operation she took, in
all, about 5000 pounds; most of
which is very fine quality of sour
wood honey. She has already sold
81, 900 worth besides keeping enough
for family use. She had this season
about 140 colonies of honey gath
erers. There is money in keeping
bees, but they must have attention ;
they will not succeed. we'll without
attention.-EIkin Times.

ROOSEVELT AND BRYAN.

When the railroad rate question
was at fever heat in this State some
days ago 1t was suggested by some
democrats that Mr.. w. J. Bryan be
retained to represent the State. The
Petersburg (Va.) Index Appeal COM
menting on the suggestion says:
"One of the humorous incidents
of the North Carolina and Virginia
railroad troubles, now happily on
the way TO legal adjustment, was the
proposition to retain Mr.. Bryan to
represent the States In their struggle
against what was held to be Federal
usurpation. Federal ownership OF
railroads, the child labor bill, and
everything that looks to centraliza'
ton of power at Washington, are
dear to Bryan's heart. If that gen
tleman had half his wishes gratified
there would be no North CarOlins
or any other State that could, with
out Federal permission, employ and
pay him for his services. We dOn't
suppose he suggests and urges these
perniciOus things for the sake OF
destroying States or magnifying the
relative Importance of the nation
He believes In the people, and any
thing that to him seems good fol
the people he advocates, no matter
whether there are State lines in the
way or not. Needless to say tina
this was not the Jeffersonian theory
and that that eminent democrat be-
lieved the safety of the people ant
their happiness lay In the preserva-
tion, unimpaired, Of State lines
Mr.. Bryan is Jeffersonian Demo
crat with the democracy of Jefferson
left out"
Some of the democratic papers o
this State have abused Mr.. ROOse
welt because they claimed he advo
Gated Capitalization of power, Will
these papers are praising Bryan, VIII
breaches more centralistic doctrine
than Roosevelt ever dreamed of ad
vOcating. With them there is some
thing in a name. If man is la
belled democrat it is to praise him
if he chances to be a Republican |
Is time to abuse him regardless o
the principles he may advocate.

TINE RIGHTS or caIlosEs.

Our Home. . paper Published Of
Nashville, does not think the
average child deserves anything
from their parents estate. But be-
fore going further let ~ quote Q
paragraph from its editorial columns:
sOur Home makes the assertion.
and defies contradiction, that the
average boy or girl does not deserve
one cents worth OF property from
their parents. It Ii true the law
makes the children the legal heirs
who shall inherit the property OF
their deceased parents, but IL does
not mean that the said children have
any moral right 10 claim anything.
If they get anything from their
parents more than 9 support till OF
age, and Q fair English education. II
Is Just that much more than they
deserve"
Again, Our Home says the average
boy or girl does not pay the expense
Of raising.
1t is true the average child never
pays It's parents the cost Of raising
and educating 1t. But that fact
should not be considered. It Ii the
parents who bring the children into
the world and II Is their duty, 30 faI
as possible, to see that these children
receive a good education, and then
turn them loose in the world with
enough property to start them In
life. After that, If they do not sue
coed, it Is no fault Of their parents
But were not these parents educated
and given q start in the world By
their parents? Then why haven
their children q right to their prop
erty? 1t Is one continuous debt.

Wheat Cut BY Moonlight.
Philadelphia Public Ledger.


Several thousand acres of Lehigh
country wheat were cut last week by
moonlight. The harvest, already
three weeks late on account of cold
weather in spring, was much delayed
by the rains of the past fortnight.
Farmers accordingly took advantage
Of the full moon to cut their grain,
which was dead ripe. Self binders
were brought into play and relays of
horses used. The moon was so
bright that 1t was easy to reap the
grain by night as by day. Some
farmers kept their binders running
without stopping for sixty hours.
The farmers paid neighboring boys
and girls 20 cents an hour to shock
the grain as fast as the reapers cut
1t, besides giving them three meals,
breakfast, dinner aud supper, and
three luncheons, at 9 a. M, p. m.
and midnight. Some of the boys
and girls worked full "a hours for
day, making 81 80, besides getting
}heir board. This is believed to be
the record paid for farm labor In the
United States Even at that the
farmers regarded the work done for
them more as an accommodation
than cold. blooded labor done for
hire.
Many of the harvest workers thus
employed are school teachers, their
recompense for working in the fields
being double that of the school. room.
The harvest, which is ABOUT half
completed, is prolific beyond all ex-
pectations.

GOVERNORS CHANGE OF MIND"

AS soon as the Railroads agreed
to Gov. Glenn's proposition to put
the new rate into effect pending the
decision of the Supreme Court, a
Democratic Club in Brooklyn, N. Y,
sent Gov. Glenn an invitation forth
with to come up to Brooklyn on the
26th and make an address before
their Club and tell how he did it. 1t
is understood that Gov. Glenn &C
copied the invitation, notWithstand-
ing that some of his close advisers
told him it was not a wise thing for
him to do. However, after many of
the papers Of the State, as we'll as
many papers out of the State had
severely criticised the Governors
course in accepting the invitation,
he sent telegram to the Brooklyn
Club stating that on account of i'm =
pOrtant matters at home he would
be unable to address their Club. The
Brooklyn Club considered the Gov
ernor's course in the rate question
as political one, and they wanted
him to give it to their fellow demo-
Gratis while it was still hot.
The Wilmington Messenger, demo.
cratic, commenting on the Gov
ernOr's change of mind, says:
"Had Mr.. Glenn carried out his
intention it would have strength
ened the contention of those who
claim that there was more politics
than anything else in the action of
the Governor. There are many who
still think that to be the case and
he, in making such a speech would
have been adding strength to their
argument. 1t is unfortunate that
Governor did not decline the invita-
ton when first rendered instead of
accepting it and waiting until his
action was so severely criticised be.

doing which he was no doubt infiu>
