would do we'll to let currency legislation alone at
this session. The situation reminds us OF John
Sharp Williams's famous COW. A few years
ago one of his negro tenants wrote to him in

Sharp went TO the Department OF Agriculture. de-
tailed the symptoms. and returned with a medi-

Ing heavy purchases OF the securities doomed by
them. Furthermore. this money. although pienti-

Pigeon Follows a Train.

A correspondent writing from
Lenoir to the Greensboro Indus
trial News tells of the peculiar
performances of a white pigeon.
Everyday when the passenger
train on the Carolina and North.
western railroad comes into Le-
noir, sa:gs.the correspondent, isfol-
lowed ty this pigeon, which perch
es itself on a housetop or in a
tree near the station until time
for the train to depart. AS soon
as the signal is given for the train
to leave this pretty white bird is
all attention and when the train
begins to move the pigeon follows
after it. Sometimes it flies along
side the engineers cab, within
arms-length of the cab window.
Other times it has been seen ahead
of the train, over the train and
away behind. bringing up the rear
owing to the speed the train was
running.
Several people have testified to
having seen this pigeon follow
ing the train for the past four OF
five days. The railroad men re.
port that the pigeon follows the
train to Granite Falls, Cliffs and
even as far as Hickory. It al.
ways follows the first train from
Hickory, or wherever it stops to
rest, back to Lenoir.

Do Not Be ''Deceived."

The pastors of the churches in
Alamance county, thirty-two in
number, have issued a pastoral
address to the voters Of Alamance
county that has right ring. From
it these extracts are taken.
"This is the opportunity for
which we have been long, praing,
and one which, if neglected now,
may never come again. If we let
our cause be lost now, we serve
notice on our Legislature that odr
people are opposed to State.prohi-
Ditto; to win by a small majority
will mean the indefinite continu-
ance of the fight; to win over
whelmingly will settle the question
once for all.
"Let us not be deceived by the
soothing assurance that victory
gill be easily won. On the con-
taryr we need strenuous efforts Of
every temperance man and wo-
man, a thorough organization in
every township, and every vote
that can be cast. The liquor man
ufacturers and dealers of the whole

Judge Becomes Interested In Prisoner and
Will Assist in Getting Pardon.

Asheville, March 28.-Publica-
tion of a notice is made here of
application for a pardon for A. G.
Strickland who is under sentence
to the changing for a term of
eighteen months but by reason of a
kindly feeling aroused in Judge
PEBBLES for the convicted man.
Strickland is at liberty and grant,
ed time in which to prepare and
make application for a pardon.
The interest that Judge PEBBLES
has taken in Strickland came
about in a queer manner. Strick-
land was convicted here of blgamy
and sentenced to eighteen months
on the roads. He appealed to the
Supreme Court and pending the
hearing of the appeal went on
about his work, returning to
South Carolina, his native State.
When informed that the Supreme
Court had decided against him
Strickland came to Ashevllle and
voluntarily presented himself to
Judge Pebbles for r~e-sentence.
So unusual was the act that
Judge PEBBLES made inquiry and
declared that a man as honest as
Strickland ought not to have to
serve time. on the roads. Execu-
tion of the sentence was continued
for 60 days with the tacit under
standing that Strickland apply
for a pardon, the court init
mating that it would be glad to
