PISGAH.

Pisgah, April 2T.-Corn planting
Number Two and the same for
cotton in part. is finished for this
week. Don't know what the next full
moon will bring and we may have
to repeat our planting the third time.
tt is certainly a bad year to get
stand of anything. I saw recently
large plantation OF early planted cot
ton that the seed never showed above
ground after being covered. Cotton
Is a hot weather plant, and it is per-
fectly useless to put it in so early.
Men should use some judgment when
TO plant, and because hot March
comes is no reason that April will be
hot. The sequel of this early plant
ing can be found in the back of Web
ster's old blue back spelling book

Seeds of all kinds seem to be de-
fective this year. The agricultural

that the pea seed sent it will ger
inmate 20 per cent. This certainly
shows great detection, and no doubt
other seeds if tested would show the
same per cent of loss.
It seems that the county is getting
crazy again on the subject of base
ban. 1t looks like something more
profitable could take its place.
Politics, naturally, are coming to
the front The president looks like
he wants to boss everything, from a
town election up. He will take
third term if he can get it, and also a
fourth and fifth. Mr.. Blaine said
whenever we depart from the teach
ings and practices Of the fathers the
firm foundation Of our government
viii be shaken. and that is being done
now, for the people are going mad
over graft and commercialism.

MIR. WOODS DEATH.
A Western Man Who Had Settled at
L7nciburg Killed in Runaway.

Lvnchburg, April 27.-The report
ed accident and subsequent death OF
Mr.. E. H. Woods, who survived only
few hours, on the 26th instant, was
indeed as sad a death as was ever
chronicled in this neighborhood and
his bereaved children so remote, re
siding in or near st. Louis, No., have
the profound sympathies of all who
are familiar With the circumstances.
Mr.. Wood came to this place by spe-
ciai appointment in December last,
and soon thereafter married Mrs. ia
ME Hawkins. OF whose farm he en-
gagged in extensive preparations for
farming, somewhat on the western
style. although considerably ad-
vanced in age, he was a strong, vig-
orous and perseTering man. Ee was
constantly seeking Information as TO
our modes and plans Of farming, and
possessed intelligent views and ideas
of successful farming, being energetic
and thrifty.
He conceived the idea of raising
clover on his We'll prepared farm, ana
had planted 10 or y acres, which
now may prove a failure, for lack OF
proper care and cultivation. He look
ed upon his clover experiment with
much interest and satisfaction.
By his straightforward demeanor
he had won the esteem, good will,
and, in measure, the confidence OF
all who had observed his conduct.
After settling down here he bought
pair of large young mules which ne
allowed no one to use or handle but
himself, and so, last Wednesday, after
returning from this place, late II
the afternoon, he hitched the two
dangerous mules (for they were SO
regarded) to the wagon to do some
hauling, and as soon as he started
the team off they took fright at
some noise and ran away, running at
ful1 speed for three-fourths Of mile
to point, where they made a sud-
den turn, throwing him violently 10
the ground, the wagon passing over
his body, causing such serious inter-
nal injuries that he died the next
morning, despite the efforts of a skill
ed physician. His body, in the pres
ence of large gathering, was laid TO
rest in the Lynchburg cemetery. with
betting ceremonies. 1t later oe-
veloped that it was the request
of his children in St. Louis that the
remains be sent to their home, but
the telegram was late in getting here'
which, coupled with other obstacles,
rendered it impracticable. But is was
Mrs. Woods earnest request and de-
sire that the wishes Of the absent
ones be complied with. Mr. Woods
died in what would have been five
or six months ago, in strange land.
He had not been here long enough to
be very intimate with any one, but
in this short time he won the respect
and esteem of all who had become
ACQUAINTED with him. So. adieu,
stranger brother, how sad it is thus
70 die T. B. Rhame.
