Goes up for Nine Years.

Sheriff Hunter left yesterday
for Raleigh, taking with him Jo-
seph Lance, of arden, the young
travelling salesman under nine
years manslaughter sentence for
the killing at Buena Vista a year
ago of little Alma Green. Lance
desired to 60 to the State prison
alone, but on advice of council
decided to ring in no innovation,
and Friday surrendered himself to
the authorities, waving the form
al issuance of a capias. He was
placed in jail to await removal to
the State prison. Lance asked
Sheriff Hunter to take him TO Ra-
leigh Immediately to begin sem
tence; but the sheriff, desiring to
go in person, could not find it
convenient to 60 Saturday. Lance
says that he does not believe it
was the shot he fired that killed
the girl-the shot fired at random
from a moving train.

Country News and Views.

The government is developing the
Morgan horse at the breeding eStab-
lishment at Waybridge, Vt.
The American mule is said to be
worth SAG, $4,000, for it is claimed
that it is comparatively immune from
disease and is not susceptible to con-
tagion.
The Kansas experiment station has
realized $11.90 per acre from rape pas
ture and $24.1O from alfalfa pasture
in ninety-eight days. These results
were obtained from experiments which
were begun July % and concluded
Oct. 81.
To keep up the fertility of the soil it
Is imperative that the orchards be lib
orally fortified. Both mineral and
vegetable fertilization is necessary. A
crop of apples will remove considera-
bly, more potash from the soil than will
a crop Of wheat. To produce trees re-
qufres large quantities of both vegeta-
BILE and mineral matters. Unleached
wood ashes are excellent.
Horses that are idle in the winter
should not be fed much feed that is
rich in nitrogen-as, for instance, clover

Lar exercise he cannot assimilate such
feeds, and consequently the system be-
clogged and the disease known
as azoturia takes place. Horses to
keep in good condition should have
daily work or exercise.

Wants the Free Bridge at South River.

J. A. Miller, one of the best
farmers of Davie county and a
frequenter of Salisbury, was in the
city to-day on business. He is
greatly interested III the building
Of the free bridge over the Yadkln,
and thinks the place for it is at
South kiver. He says, from a
commercial standpoint, it is prob
ably the best location to be found.
The territory opposite South
River is more thickly populated
with well to-do people and who
would likely use the bridge more
and make Salisbury their trading
point.

Method For Curino Hams

The following method of curing
hams and bacon has been used in a
Missouri family for many years: For
On eighteen or twenty pound ham
mix a dessertspoonful Of saltpeter with
n or II : third pound of
brown sugar and rub well into the
flesh side of the ham. Pack in tubs or
boxes and cover the flesh side well
with fine salt. Allow the meat to re-
main in the boxes from four to six
weeks. Small hams or pieces may be
removed in four weeks time. Lift
out and rub all salt off and cover well
with good ground black D D Be
sure to put plenty of pepper around
the bone. Let hang for two or three
days to dry and smoke for six or
eight weeks. You will not only have
very fine favored meat, but it will not
have to be bagged. To make Missis-
sippi sausage take eight pounds of
lean tenderloin, five pounds of back
bone fat, four t~easpoonfuls of black
peppers, two ~teaspoonfuls of salt, n
%teaspoonful Of cayenne pepper. seven
~teaspoonfuls of sage. Grind twice and

Busy Day in Cotton.

Qlite early this morning the
farmers began to pour into the city
with great wagon loads of the flee
c. staple and by 10 o'clock the
straoAs became blocked.
About l o'clock the jam at the
platform became so intense that
the police forca had to be called
out in order to prevent trouble
among some of the cotton sellers
who were scrapping for positions
in line to the platform.
TAn cents is the price set by the
Caharrus Cotton Association and
The Farmers Union for the staple,
and when the price reached ten
cents this morning, the farmers
fe.l into line ard the solid phalanx
that blocked the cltv's streets is a
result. Ten cents has caused many
bales to be let loose to the anu
facturer and cotton dealers, and
as a consequence many of the
farmers who were unwilling to let
their staples g. for less, are today
satisfied.
Their. were more than three
ut.dred bales sold on the market
today and it is said to be the bust

city has experienced within the

A RISING AND FOL.s1JG GATE

Easily Constructed, Inexpensive and
Operated by a Balance Weight.
A gate that will rise or fold has its
advantages. One may be constructed
without much expense.
The gate should be braced both ways
and made of good, clear lumber. The
balance weight may be hung with a
wire rope or a one-half inch cotton
rope. However, if cotton, hemp or
sisal is used the rope should have
close attention, that it does not in
some manner become worn or cut. The
weight may be made in several ways,
the best and least expensive perhaps
being a slim galvanized iron bucket.
