FINDS HIDDEN TREASURE.
Death-Bed Confession Of Robber
Leads to Unearthinx Of 5000.

Fayetteville, N. O Oct. 20 -
Considerable interest was arous
ed here some time ago by q mys-
ferrous occurrence reported by
II z Davis, who lives ON The
east side of the Cape Fear river,
this occurrence being the finding
on the old Cade place in the
neighborhCod, of q deep excava-
ton, apparently made in dlggins
tor some hidden object, there
being evidence that such had
been removed from the cavity.
The hole was near three large
pine trees.
Visi ms of buried treasure, nf
marauding soldi r. returning t.
their long hidden booty, and even
of one-legged pirates and pieces
OF eight began to fill the dreams
of the denizens of eastern Cum
berlaud. But now comes the
denouemsnti in tho shape Of an un
confirmed rumor that the excav.-
ton was the work of Uni ed States
postal inspectors; that they had
secured lot of real treasure and
made off with it. The sleuths
had been directed to this spot
80 runs the story-by the death
bed confe-sian Of man "a kind
of modern Bill B )nes), who had
lately died in Atlanta, confessing
to a postal inspector that he had
once robbed certain postoffice,
and making his escape to Fay
cite, had been 80 hard pressed by
his pursuers that he buried his
"swag" near this city at spo'
described by him-the spot of
the myste r;ous midnight excava-
tion on the Cade place.
A half dozen inspectors, it Is
said, shortly III adied Fayetteville,
ostensibly TO continue the inves-
tigation of the loss of So, 900 from
the locsl postofice, about three
years ago, but really in quest Of
the dead mans booty. Alter

Nine Tons Of Hay from One Acre.

Nine tons is a large yield tf
hay from a single acre and few
would expect this Yield from
Bermuda grass, yet such is the
case, or at least from an acre
of vetch and Bermuda.
Mr.. j. B. Wing, who lives at
Roswell, in Cobb County, has an
acre Of rich red land in the rear
of his home. For years it has
been sodded to Bermuda, and has
made remarkable growth. A
year or two ago he seeded it with
vetch seed. Last year he cut
from this acre nine tons of we'll
cured bay. While this is . re-
marksble yield considering the
nature and quality of the hay /,
yet Mr.. Wing does not consider
this the limit. He says if he
would seed this acre to oats in
the fall and cut them as hay he
believes the yie!d can be iucreas-
ed to twelve or fifteen tons of
hay per acre. Here is 4 higher

THE PRIDS AND COURAGE OF
THE OLD SOUTH.

The Baltimore Sun says: Never were
Drawer soldiers or prouder men than
those who composed the armies of the
Confederacy Their spirit was uncon-
querabie. Neither poverty nor hunger
nor defeat nor death could bring dis
grace to them. They were defeated, but
never conquered. The same spirit sur
wives today in the Veterans of the Civil
War who are still with us. Sometimes
this crops out in some pathetic incident
which brings tear TO the eye A few
days ago Col. Marcellus Pointer died
ii bare little room in an obscure hotel
in the poorest section OF New York.
Broken in health and fortune, he had
been unable TO provide enough even to
supply his very modest wants. He was
too proud to appeal to his wealthy
friends for aid, and to the last never
disclosed to them his necessities. He
was too proud to allow himself to be-
come d burden to others. His distin-
guished services in the war, his loyalty
and high-mindedness availed him Moth
ing in the struggle for bread. But the
old soldier fought on bravely to the
last, neither asking nor accepting char
ity, with smile on his face and allow
ing no complaining word to escape his
lips. q guess he died partially of a
broken heart and PRIDE" says a doctor
who knew him. He was too proud
to beg. This spirit of pride and cour-
age is one of the things that distin-
guished the old South which the new
South can i'll afford to lose. Neither
business success nor commercial pros
perity can take the place of devotion to
high ideals, and while gaining in wealth,
population and power, the South will do
well to treasure not only its honorable
history and traditions, but that rich
heritage Of sensitive honor and per-
sonal pride which raised itspeople abovs
the level of mere trafickers in the mar
ket place.

been thought of before. When under
stood it viii be considered an innova-
ton of great Importance. While be-
ing freely discussed, changes and I'M
provements are incorporated in the
plans. The latest bill introduced in
the English parliament has been
amended to avoid the complications
which raised many objections to the
earlier one
The present British plan is on the
third Sunday In April to set all the
clocks forward to 4:45 a. m, when the
hands according to present schedule
would point to 3:45 a. NJ, which would
practically put the clock an hour
"fast," as we say, and get workers
and the people all over the country to
rise an hour earlier than usual with
out knowing it after the first day
This would move all time schedules
along one hour without requiring any
change of railroad time or schedule,
because the advancing of the clocks
one hour would be universal. We
should emancipate ourselves and live,
labor and enjoy by the natural or sun

The PiIarim.

Senator Beveridge in one of his many
eloquent independence day addresses
compared the critics of America to an
admirer of the poet Whittier
"These critics" he said, "fail to
bring the necessary sympathy and
knowledge over with them, and hence
they are unsatisfactory-like the Whit.
tier pilgrim.
"Pilgrims used to visit Whittier con-
tinually. A typical one came from
Missouri. Though told that Whittier
had a headache. he forced his way
into the poets study, where he de
clared that he adored all Whittier's
works, which he knew almost by
heart. He asked Whittier to write
his name several hundred times On !,
large sheet of foolscap, so that he
could cut out and distribute the auto
graphs among his Missouri frt@ds-
in fact, it was all the poet could DO to
keep the enthusiastic Missourian from
clipping all the buttons from his ceat
as souvenirs.

TARIFF CoNFEREEs.

1t is said that the tariff conferees are
in no good or pleasant mood and thai
President Taft is having the experience
of his political career in his efforts tc
reach solution of the tariff which may
be satisfactory to every interest.
This is impossible, as there are toe
many discordant elements in Congress.
At any rate it will not be disputed that
the majority in Congress are the allies
of interests aad of combinations who
are to profit from the tariff as it has
been dictated by the New England in
fluence.
1t was this influence which precipi-
tated the war between the North and
the South and which has dominated the
government since its creation. Unques-
tionably President Taft means well.
He is intent on the good of the people,
but he may not WELD the fight which
would bring Aidrich and this New Eng
land influence to reason. After all, there
may be intensified a feeling between the
other sections of the United States,
which, in time, will lead into strength
ening of interests which are mutual and
which must be maintained regardless Of
political predictions or inclinations.
II is expected the tariff conferees
win develop considerable activity in the
House and the Senate of the United
States before an agreement is reached,
if reached at all.
