The Model Way of Farming.
Marshville Our Home.

AarShVllle Our Home
While in the vicinity of Nor
ven last week the writer visited
the farm of Mr.. W. A. Niven, a
mile and a half from Morven.
When Mr.. Niven started to
housekeeping" he started in
debt The first year he went to
his creditor with a proposition
like this: well, | belong to
you and I've come to ask you
how you want me to farm, what
l shall plant etc. The credi-
tor politely and courteously in~
formed him that he had no in
structions to offer and advised
him to use his own Judgment.
"All right" replied Mr.. Niven,
eff you leave it to me Pm going
to first plant for d living and then
put the remainder in cotton-and
let you take the cotton and apply
it on my debt" Following that
policy every year he soon lifted"
the debt. It proved to be the
best method for q man in debt,
and what is good to help a man
out of debt is a good policy to
live by, and Mr.. Niyen has every
year produced his living at home,
raising his own wheat, corn, meat,
molasses, ETC., not only enough
for home use, but every year he
has some of these things to spare,
which he sells at a fine profit.
High freight rates on corn, meat,
molasses, mill feed and fioul
doesn't bother him, for he doesn't
have the freight to pay, neither
does he pay profits on these

The Croatan Indian Institute.

We, the undersigned, beg leave to
thank our people for the help they have
given towards the Croatan Institute,
which is situated at Reedy Branch
church, in Thompson's township, ten
miles south of Lumherton- This is no
UNCONVENTIONAL school, but is for the
s.anetft of the Croatan race. All are re-
quested to take an interest in this school.
We have good two-story building, 80
by 40, which is nearing completion, and
some money yet in the treasury. The
building, after it is completed, will be
worth 81 600. We hope the Croatan In
dians of Robson, Scotland and Rich
mond counties will patronize this school.
Let's every one of our race impress the
subject of education so that ouf sons
and daughters may he educated, and
they will make better citizens of our
grand Old North State.
Yours Respectfully,

moved the consignment to Wor-
ship-street depot, where 1t now
lies.
The story goes that the remains
are those of an Irish giant dug up
many years ago in comfy Antrim
by Mr.. Dyer. who exhibited it
in Manchester. Liverpool, and
other northern centres (making
considerable profit and then go
ing into partnership with show
man named Kefshaw tor exhibit
ton purposes.
1t is said that following dis
agreement between the parties,
the giant" was sent to London
by the London and Northwest
ern Railway route, without Mr..
Kershaw's knowledge. and that
Mr.. Kershaw. hearing of this. Sc
cured the injunction from a Judge
in the old Court of Chancery,
which has not yet been removed.
All the parties to the legal pro-
ceedings, as we'll as the judge,
have since passed away, and the
court in which the injunction was
granted has since ceased to exist.
An official of the London and
North Western railway informed
the Press representative that the
company did not propose to pro-
ceed to have the injunction re-
moved. and as the consignment
did not take up great deal OF
room it was likely to continue in
its present resting place for years
to come.
Meanwhile. in the books of the
company it figures as the follow
ing item:-"To storage of Irish
giant G200." the company in
theory paying so much for stor-
age, the payment of which they
would demand should at any
time the injunction be removed
and the consignment claimed.
Some doubt is thrown on the
story so far as it concerns the
authenticity of the remains.-Liv

A pETRIFIED GIANT.
Once Exhibited in Liverpool.

There is lying at present at the
Worshipstreet, London, goods de-
pct of the London and North
Western Railway what purports
to be a petrifed giant. 1t has
been there for several decades,
and inquiries indicate that it is
likely to remain there many years
more. The details concerning it,
and how it got into the keeping
of the company. form curious and
interesting reading.
1t seems, according to intorma-
ton supplied to Press represent
ative on inquiry at the Offices of
the company at Eldon-street,
that about thirty years ago a
stone coffin, twelve feet odd long,
containing the alleged petrihed
remains, arrived at the Broad
street goods depot, having been
consigned from Manchester.
The "remains" measured over
twelve feet in length. the chest
girth being six and a halt feet,
and the length of the arms four
and a half feet. 1t was stored at
Broad street for some time, and
then proceedings in Chancery
were started. by which Snowman
named Kershaw obtained an in
junction restraining the railway
company from delivering it until
the ownership had been satisfac'
torily determined. Nothing iur-
ther was done apparently by any
of the parties to the legal pro
ceedings. and. some years after
wards the company, requiring
more room at Broad street. re.

In his latest attack on men the
president has assaulted two edi-
tors. One is the presiding digni-
tary of the Indianapolis News
and the other the editor OF the
New York Sun. 1t now appears
that the president has woke up
the wrong passenger. Both these
men are uniting in demand that
the Panama canal purchase shall
be investigated by the Congress
of the United States. There is
a very well grounded opinion
that when an investigation is had
it will develop that number OF
very prominent republicans will
be found to be hopelessly in
volved in crimes against the gov
ernment. President elect Iaft's
brother is suspected with having
received several hundred thous-
and dollars as the direct result OF
corrupt practice. AT this writing
it appears that President Roose-
Welt has stirred up hornets nest
and that he will be severely stung
before he is through with the
case.

THE claim that a parcels post
amendment will be added to the
postal laws and regulations this
coming session of congress, is
being widely fought by certain
interests that claim that the mail
order houses will be given a bene-
fit. Likely that is true but the
robber express companies will
also get trifling jolt. This week
we paid 1926 express on pack
age of ball programs from St.
Louis that weighed thirteen
pounds. At the existing post
office rates the price would
have been s2.0S saving of six
teen cents. 1t will be observed
that the express companies keep
their rates just under the mail
order price, that is on the little
packages. This particular pack
age was heavy enough to compel
the use of express SO the graft
was perpetrated. The needs of
the people call for the parcels
post. 1t is stated that the service
will render the postal depart
ment self supporting. Then by

AT present the outgoing ad-
ministration in this state is plum
ing itself on a surplus in the
treasury. At the risk of being
tedious we again call attention to
the fact that the surplus is the di-
rect result of democratic legis-
lature some years ago. The
Thirteenth passed the first intelll-
gent revenue law the state ever
had. 1t was attacked in the courts
and only the other day we read
that a decision rendered the past
week makes the corporation fiat
tax a verify, thus increasing the
states revenues immensely. It's
great JOY to have lived long enough
to see ones work become effec-
tive. Some of the members of
the Thirteenth died before the
corporations reached their last
ditch We happen TO be one that
lived long enough to see the reve-
nue. act of the Thirteenth applied,
and we are very thankful.
