Three Bales to the Acre.
Fayetteville Observer.

Fayetteville Observer.
Mr.. jeff Seasons, OF Stedman, Cum
berland county, has several acres in
cotton which he expects to yield three
bales to the acre. if not more. He has
used the best kind of fertilizers, with
good quantity of saw dust. The
saw dust is about II years old, and
the government estimates its value
at 81. 20 n ton. Who would have
thought of raising bales to the acre,
and that partly with saw dust, five
years ago? The progress of agricul-
ture in Cumberland i'll the past five
years has been wonderful, and it is
such men as Mr.. Seasons and other
scientific farmers. who have been
potent factors in this result.

Month of Campaigning.
The campaign was begun a little over
a month ago. when Judge John w. Price
of the corporation court ordered, the elec.
tion on petition of one-fourth of the
qualified voters. The temperance people
brought many out-of-town speakers here
and for two weeks meetings have been
held nightly on the streets, in churches
and in halls. Hundreds of women and
children were on the grounds at the main
voting place all day, singing and praying
for the success of the temperance cause
The women served lunches and hot coffee
near the polls and stood through drench-
ing rains and continued their work from
early this morning until the polls closed.
The anti-prohibtionists conducted Q
still hunt campaign and worked under
cover until within the past week, when
they suddenly burst into print and flooded
the city with literature opposing prohibi-
tion and seeking to show its i'll effects
on Bristol. The Abingdon dispensary,
thirteen miles east of Bristol, doing an
immense business, largely from local
trade, was used as a chief argument by
them.

WORK IN DRENCHING RAIN

BRISTOL, Va, July 9.-By the mar
row majority of thirty-two out of the
total votes polled, the anti-prohibiton-
lists won the local election held here yes
terday. following one of the most hotly
contested campaigns of its kind known
in the south
Pandemonium reigned here last night
in that part of Bristol which lies in Ten
nessee as well as in the half of the city
which has declared for the sale of liquor
after a dryness of two years Prepara-
tions are being made for opening up sa-
looms and wholesale houses for supply
ing not only the immediate territory, but
that of the dozen nearby states which
are in the prohibitive column.
Prediction of the "Wets."
The vets declare the victory here,
following the recent one against pro-
hibition at Petersburg, Va, will have
the effect of checking the statewide pro-
hibition movement in Virginia and will
have some influence toward preventing
further inroads of the prohibitionists in
the south. They say, too. that the win
ming Of the fight is but the opening of
the greater fight for the reclamation of
lost territory in the south.
Locally the contest was intensely ex-
citing, but 1t was more than a local con-
test With the liquor interests of the
entire country 1t was a pivotal fight.
Driven out of the surrounding southern
states. the whisky people fought tena-
ciously for foothold here.
Against the influence of the prohibition
lists and their unwavering allies the wom-
en- and children, the leaders of the op-
posing forces spent thousand of dollars.

John Paulding lived on farm about
three miles east of Peekskill, and while
counting a young woman named Teed in
the neighborhood he was captured by
party Of British 'sknners," or guerrillas,
and taken a prisoner to the sugar house
on Liberty street, New York. From that
dreadful place he managed TO escape by
the aid of negro woman. who secured
him a Hessian uniform, and in that dis
guise finally reached his home. 1t was
that uniform which deceived Maj Andre
into supposing that he had fallen among
friends when he came across an al fresco
card party by the side of the road.
Isaac Van Wart is buried in Green's
burg Presbyterian cemetery, a few miles
from Tarrytown, and a monument was
erected over his grave by the citizens OF
that place and dedicated June IL, 1929,

ever provided for him.
Maj Andre was executed in the village
of Tappan, on the west bank of the Hud-
son, south West Point The house in
which he was tried and imprisoned was
allowed 10 fall into decay many years
ago. 1t will be remembered that the late
Cyrus w. Field erected monument to
Andre there, but ii was defaced and
damaged by fanatics. and finally blown
to fragments by some rampa gious pa

Andre and Arnold.
Andre was one of the most attractiv
characters in revolutionary history, and
Arnold one of the most repulsive. The
latter was always brave soldier, but
was wicked from boyhood. unscrupulous.
quarrelsome, vindictive and always de-
tested by his comrades in arms. although
his military ability and courage were al
ways recognized. Arnold was twice
wounded in the leg while fighting bravely,
and while he was recovering he was ap-
pointed military governor of Philadelphia.
He made his headquarters in the fine old
mansion built by William Penn. and lived
in luxury and splendor, while the patriot
army was starving. He married the
daughter of Edwin Shippen. the most
ward chief justice Of Pennsylvania. She
was eighteen and he was forty, ana the
match was frowned upon by everybody.
Arnold's extravaganza brought him into
dest and in order to raise money 10 pay
his bills he blackmailed the merchants OF
Philadelphia and was guilty of gross
fraud and extortion. which resulted In
court-martial and a verdict OF guilty.
The court imposed the mildest sentence
possible-a mere reprimand by the COM
mander-n- n-chief-and Washington pro-
nounced IL in the most delicate manner.
but Arnold never forgot or forgave what
he considered an injury. and when he was
transferred from PHILADELPHIA to the COM

Execution Of Andre.

Andre was taken to the village of Tap
pan, where he wrote a detailed statement
Of his experience and the purpose of his
mission. His frankness made great inn
preston upon Washington knCx and
other officers. and their sympathy caused
them to detail for the court-martial Of
ficerS of high rank and recognized judg
ment. But after long and careful DELHI
GRAFTON they sentenced him to death, and
he was executed at Tappan October l.,

trial and on the scaffold commanded the
respect and admiration of every one.
cution, from which his remains were re-
moved In 1892 to Westminster Abbey and
are there inclosed in an imposing monu-
ment with a eulogistic epitaph.
Andre had many accomplishments. He
was a poet and an artist. and there was
an extraordinary coincidence in the pub
lication in Rivington Gazette of some sa-
tirical verses from his pen ridiculing
mad Anthony Wayne for the failure of
a raid upon a British outpost. Wayne
only succeeded in destroying several
boats and captured a drove of cattle.
Otherwise his expedition was failure,
and Andres description of the incident
in rhyme created a great deal Of hilarity
in both armies. The last stanZa of the
doggerel, however, was singulary pro-
phetic, as follows:
And now I've closed my epic strain.
| tremble ! show il.
Lest this same warrior -drover. Wayne,
Should ever catch the poet.
The day those reckless lines appeared in
print Maj. Andre was executed as a spy,
and the commander of the guard that
accompanied him to the scaffold was the
same Gen. Wayne.
