What One Man Has Done.

Is it possible to grow bumper
crops of corn in Henderson coun-
Ei
Judging from what Mr.. Henry
Jordan has succeeded in doing,
theansWer must be yes.
Mr.. Jordan owns Is acres of
fne land, either inside or just be-
yond the corporation limits of
Hendersonville. He has raised
g, 800 bushels of corn on that rs
acres. and is now feeding it to
stock which will be ready for the
market In the spring.
Mr.. Jordan is fattening 90 head
of beef cattle, so hogs, and has a
fine dairy herd of q beauties. He
works, on the farm and in his ex-
tensive contracting business, six
mules, and is also the proud own
-er two fine mares-one of them a
blue ribbon winner.
His cattle and horse barn is 16Ox
so feet, his COW barn is 30x60, with
two modern silos added, each Of
them 16 feet in diameter and %
feet high. And, it is perhaps
needless to state, they are both full
of ensilage, for Mr.. Jordan is not
only practical and successful
farmer, but also scientific one.
This is witnessed by the depth of
blowing done by him-never less
than eighteen inches.
The entire farm is in the pink
of condition well drained and
taken care Of in every nook and
corner. 1t is not hard to discover
how Mr.. Jordan has succeeded In
making so remarkable a crop for
he believes In feeding and not sell
ing the product of the soil.

The Last Word.

The desire to have the last
word in a discussion is fatal in the
home. Half the quarrels and
chickering's in married life spring
from this, and husbands and wives
might do well to remember and
carry out DR.. PARIS advice about
the last word:
Husband and wife should no
more struggle to get the last word
than they would struggle for the
possession of a lighted boom
shell. Married people should
study each others weak points az
skaters look after the weak parts
of the ice in order to keep off
them. By attention to this ap-
parently small matter the course
Of welded life will run NOR
smoothly, and thus insure happi-
ness, . says Home Notes.

way of spelling the thing, is not

unduly alarmed at the report in

Mrs. Murray recently lost a
very pretty fur while attending
the revival services at the skating
rink. That is she left it there
and it is presumed some one took
the fur by mistake. Mrs. Murray
is extremely anxious to recover
her fur, and should this meet the
eye of the person taking it by mis-
take a liberal reward will be paid
for it's return.

Coal Goes Up.

With cold weather comes a
slight advance in the price of
black diamonds known as coal.
Mr.. Charles r. Whitaker, of the
Laundry, Ice and Fuel company,
in commenting on the recent ad-
vance of fifty cents per ton he has
made on coal sold by him here,
says the price of the commodity
has advanced one dollar per ton
at the mines. Mr.. Whitaker is
inclined to think that the well
known shortage of cars is very
largely responsible for the in
crease. AS stated, while the price
has advanced one dollar per ton
at the mines, the retail dealers
here, including Mr.. Whitaker,
have advanced the price but fifty
cents.

TALKING ABOUT
PAVING Main
STREET.

At special meeting of the city
council this morning, Messrs. w.
D. Craven, Jr., and J. L. Yater,
two experts, talked over, quite in
formally, the probale cost and
best methods of putting Main
street into condition.
There were, besides members of
the city council some twenty citi-
zens present at the meeting, and
while of course nothing definite
was accomplished, still those pres
ent got very fair idea of what
may be done at some future time.
The two propositions were
about like this: First, to pillow UT
nd level the present macadam and
apply the Standard Asphalt Bind
er. The second course, and while
the more expensive. the better
would be to level the present mac
adam and apply a covering of two
inches of stone with the same bind
er. This would give a perma.
nent pavement, dustless and noise
less. A rough estimate of the cost
would be for ten blocks, sixty feet
wide, and four blocks fifty feet
wide, with cross streets fifty feet
wide, or approximately thirty
thousand square feet, something
like twenty thousand dollars.
The utmost interest was mani.
tested in the short talk given by
Mr.. Craven who answered numer
Gus inquiries relative to the propo.
sition.

All IN the Family.

In one of Pittsburg's hot mu-
nicipal campaigns the issue was
largely Senator William Finn,
who, by one party. was held re
sponsible for everything that had
happened in the city for years,
and by the other party for evry-
thing good.
Finn was a contractor at that
time of the firm of Finn & Booth.
At mass meeting of colored citi-
zens an impassioned orator assail-
ed Finn, and charged him with
all sorts of high crimes and mis-
demeanors, and in his ectasy of
denunciation wound up with +:

BALTIMORE. June 1-At called
meeting of the republican state central
committee. held vest erday at noon in
the Hotel Rennert. the district COM
mitteeS rescinded the action taken by
them last April. when they fixed the
dates for the congressional primaries
and conventions. This course was
deemed advisable. the attorney gen
eral has decided that the new primary
tions. and under this ruling these must
be made in accordance with the act
which takes from the organization
the supervision and places it under the
legally constituted state authorities.
The act also provides that these pri-
maries must be held throughout the
state tie same day. which day must
be agreeable to the two leading po-
liticai organizations. and ii they can
not agree then the primaries must be
held the first Monday in September.
The proposed action met with the APP
prevail of all the counties and legislative
districts in Baltimore city. with the eX-
ceptiOn of Frederick and Washington
counties. the representatives from which
protested against what they term the
illeSality of the proceeding, basinS their
contention on the provision in the party
constitution which requires ten days no
tice of a meeting of the state commit
tee. Nor would they accept the decision
of the chairman that the action was
regular, inasmuch as the last meeting
adjourned subject to the call of the
chair, but they made no further protest
before the full committee, which would
undoubtedly have sustained the chair

that he was a candidate and desired the
nomination, at the same time he was

The nomination should be made, however,
according to the law now in force.
The resolutions were then adopted with
out a dissenting voice and the various
district committees retired for cohsulta-

Sixth Holds Out.

Subsequently when the various district
committees which had settled upon the
dates afterward ratified by the state
committee were called upon to meet and
annul their previous action, all except
the sixth unanimously did so. T. G. X.
Young and Harry r. Baker, reprecenting
Frederick and Washington counties, re-
spectivey, declined to participate in the
sixth district conference. but Allegauy,
Montgomery and Garrett, constituting a
majority, adopted a resolution resembling
the action they had taken and agreeing
to abide by the Straus decision.
The Directing delegates insisted on hold
ing the unofficial primaries and declared
they would proceed with their nominal
tons. Other party leaders sought to in
duce them to abide by the will of the ma
jority, but they refused absolutely.
| If they do hold their primaries, as
threatened, these be held only in
| their own counties. They claim that
Montgomery will also be with them, but
| inasmuch as the committee in that county
| is the only constituted body which can
exercise supervision, and as this commit
| tee is opposed to the unofficial primaries,
there is no one in authority to provide the
machinery.
AS outlined by Senator Baker, it was
the purpose of the protestants to nOmi-
| nate a candidate and then to appeal to
| the courts in the event the secretary of
| state refused to accept the certification.
| Whether an appeal would lie under exist
when the nominations have been made
contrary to the decision of the governing
body of the party and only by minority
within the party.
