Chadwick Farm Near WrightS-
Vile.

A very important purchase OF land.
which means a great deal Tor East
ern North Carolina, and for the South
Atlantic coast GUN in general, has
been made by MIR. ". A. Simpkins. OF
this city. VINO has bought the chad
wick farm. between Wilmington and
WrighlsVille Sound, only a quarter OF
a mile from the boundary OF that
city. Mr.. d. y. Chadwick. the owner,
has expended more than $1,000 upon
this 100-acre farm. which is unques-
tionably one of the finest in the State.
All of it is t~ile-drained and most of It
is irrigated with overhead piping, the
irrigatlng plant being the most eXpen-
sive in the South Atlantic States. Fol-
some years lettuce was grown there,
and for this crop the piping was pro
Vided. Other truck crops have also
been grown with great success, and
the farm has become very noted. The
electric railway from the city 20 the
sound passes through it and one Of its
boundaries Is the famous shell road,
so that splendid opportunities are af-
forded for viewing it. At present the
entire farm is in cotton. SimpkinS'
Prolific Seed having been planted, and
the stalks are now h~ead-high. the
rows being six feet apart. Mr.. Simp-
kinS, who last ear. at one of MS
farms near Raleigh. broke the worlds
record as to cotton production, viii
use this farm as an object lesson, 10
show hat cotton grown from this seed
will fruit early and perfectly in that
soil, which is a type of SO much along
the coast which has not been put IN
cotton because of the belief that the
latter Will not properly mature. He
will use the farm for showing what
can be done with corn of the best
type. and he next year half will be
planted il Simpkins' cotton and the
other half in John f. Bats world
famous prolific corn. which last year
smashed all records. As a matter OF
fact, this farm under the new
ment and ownership Will take rank as
q test-farm and Will be OF immense
value to this and other coast States
as to the cultivation TO both cotton
and corn.

Probably within the present month the North Coast and
the Milwaukee railroads will have secured their franchises
from the city council of Spokane
No terminal rates will have been granted
The railroads own common propositions Will have
been conceded, creating clauses OF exceed
ingly little value to the city.
A union depot probably will have been agreed upon
Since the council reversed itself and backed away from
the stand for terminal rates. the for the railroads has
been like creased slide and the council has swiftly done
about everything the roads have wanted although there
has been formal show of resistance in few
paratively unimportant details.
In short time will be up to the railroads
to fulfill their boasts and promises and put all those men
at work and spend all those millions of dollars here The
Press will be glad, like every other citizen to
money flowing into the city, but there other things of
Importance, and The Press will never quit empha-
sizing the fact every time the question of money versus
princil e up.
Spokane ought to feel very confident Of future
merca success in spite of the handicap of terminal
rates With two railroads. she is the greatest inland
railway center west of Kansas City and her tributary
country will pour ever-increasng wealth into her lap.
Besides being commercially optimistic, have some

that the present city government is about the worst

Past Richmond, they left the
domed capital at Washington far to
port, passed between Baltimore and
Dover, and directly over Philadel-
phia, where Carson made a wide
circle above the vast aerial harbor,
scanning the berths for a huge
silver aeronat of the Condor type
but finding none. 1t was growing
dusk, and the west and northwest
We're ramparted with towering
thunder-heads, quivering with light
ming, toward which Carson hurled
| the Virginia like bullet. The town
studded suburban region of New
Jersey swept under them as if
| drawn by swift mechanism; and
the harbor of New York lay be-
meath, alive with shipping. The
lights were already burning, and
the far-spread Babylon of the mod
ern world hung like a fairy dream
from the foreground to the farther
rim of the concave cup of the
earth The castellated marge of
the city stood, incredibly lofty,
clear to the waters edge, reared so
high in air as to challenge the air
ship itself in altitude. Carson was
amaSsd and stunned. He mad never
seen New York, and his ideas were
all inadequate to the actualities be-
fore him. The streets flashed into
sight as the Virginia passed into
positions permitting a view of the
bottom of one metropolitan canyon
after another-flashed into view as
long lines of arc-lights and gor-
geous electric signs-a perfectly
unimaginable tangle and jungle of
lights of all colors; and then the
soaring craft would pass on, the
streets would be snuffed out by
the tall buildings-the illuminated
roofs and towering cliffs of lighted
windows becoming great plain of
glimmering consultations. The boy
was afraid-the huge city, roaring
up at them like ravening beast
struck him with terror. 1t was so
unreal, so sinister, so like gor-
geous nightmare of feverish human
achievement, that it seemed I'M
thinkable that it could hold for him
aught but danger and struggle, and,
perhaps, defeat.
