Silk dresses in those days were
not uncommon, but were reserv-
ed for special occasions; but the

But l started out to tell some
thing about the selection of seed
corn on that eventful day mot
Friday in March, when the
edict went forth to gather all
hands at the crib. The Colonel
on these occasions became high
ly nervous, and it was always
best to say nothing and to step
lively. 1t was a momentous day
on this plantation, much more so
than the beginning of planting
cotton. There is no doubt about
the care that was taken in this
selection. The Colonel stood
at the crib door-or window, /
might more properly put it-and
two of the most trusty hands
were inside to select the biggest
and finest-looking ears. These
were brought out in the OPEN.
and other TRUSTEES were put I
examine them; then others w
engaged in nubbing the ears,
seeing that no bad grains
/ on the the ends; then an
crowd was put to Smelling

RAISING CORN.
Five Bushels by the Old Methods
Versus 200 Bushels by the
New-Various Ages, and Now

the Corn Age.
To the Editor Of The Robesonian
Some think that this is the gold
en- age, although the ancient
Greeks and Romans thought that
they handled that commodity in
their time. And then we read
of the iron, the silver, and bronze
ages that have occurred at diff
ferent times in the misty past.
After the late war we had the
scaiawag age, which might with
great propriety have been call
ed the dog age. Times improved
apace, and we had some years
ago the educational or Aycock
age, and mixed up somewhat
with Glenn. Then the cotton
age burst upon us with all the
intensity of a 15-cent cotton cy-
clone and this has hardly assuag-
ed before we are flooded with
the corn age. which up to date is
the last of the ages; but how
long it will linger, this years
crop will tell.
am amused sometimes to
think what the Colonel would
have said or done if anyone had
suggested to him the possibility
of making 200 bushels of corn or
an acre, or 30 bales Of cotton or
1Oacres, as the McBryde brothers
are reported as having made. He
was an even-tempered man, anC
withstood a good deal in his day
and time. but wouldn't like tc
have been the one who rendered
such information. In the days
Of slavery, when 5 bushels was
the general average, and one
Ismall bale to 3 acres was the
common thing, such yields as We
are now having would have beer
classed along with the Arabian
Nights, or other silly productions

culiar in many things. I've seen

LOCAL OPTION LAW.
Members of Trades Unions of PhiIadel-
 phia Urged to Vote for 1t.

Philadelphia March 27.-Declaring that the passage of a local option law would hasten the settlement of the trouble between the Philadelphia Rap id Transit company and it's employees, the Central Labor union at its meet ing today adopted resolutions calling upon the members of the trades unions of this citly to agitate and vote for local option at every opportunity.
 The failure of the brewery workers to join in the sympathetic strike, it is alleged, was practically responsible for the passage of this resolution. The aye and nay vote on a motion to table the resolution was 34 to s3.
 The general strike in sympathy with the striking street car men, which has been fin effect for more than three weeks was officially called off at to- days meeting. A majority of the workers who had responded to the call have already returned to their work, and others had arranged to return to- morrow. The committee of ten which has had charge of the sympathetic strike made its report today and rec ommended that the strike be discon- tinued and financial support be given to the car men. The report was adopt ed and the committee was discharged.

 DEATH.
ENGINE REFUSED TO WORK
Craft Became UnmanaseabIe and Was Drawn Into Swift Current of Mill Pond at HiIIsboro, N. H.

Hillsboro, N. H., March 27-A motor boat rendered unmanageable by the sudden stoppage of the engine was dragged into a swift current and swept over the dam of the upper mill pond here today, hurling two young women, Mrs. Nellie Dares and Miss Mildred Craige, to their death. Will jam N. Parker, who was in charge of the boat, escaped by being thrown in to shallow quiet water from which he was able to crawl ashore.
 Boat Overturned.
 Mr. Parker, who is local agent for the Standard Oil company, had invited the young woman out for a sail. They had scarcely left the mooring when trouble was experienced with the en- zine and the craft drifted rapidly toward the dam. With no oars in the boat. Parker was powerless to prevent the catastrophe.
 The boat overturned as it struck the fashboards of the dam and tumbled its occupants fifteen feet into the waters below. The bodies of the two women were carried far down the stream and were seen to go over a second dam. Although searching par ties patrolled both sides of the river throughout the remainder of the day, no further trace of the bodies were discovered

 $102,5o0 Used to Influence Legislation.
 It having been pretty thoroughly es- abolished. according to District Attor- new William Blakeley's statements, how at least $102,5O0 was used in inhu- encing Legislation, the source of the money and the dispensers of it are to be the focus of the grand tury's atten- ton when that busy body resumes to- morrow after two days recess. Much of the big bribery fund is charged to certain banks which sought to get the city deposits. They succeeded, but 1t is the desire of the grand jury as ex- plained in its report of Friday last that the bank deposit ordinance be rescind- ed and the banks, if found guilty, be deprived of the use of city money.

A. c. HINDS IS MENTIONED FOR

RAILROAD BILL IN THE SENATE
Administration Bill May Meet For nnidabIe Opposition from Combined Insurgents and Democrats.

Washington. March 27.-The ambi- tion of Representative Townsend of Michigan to assume charge Of the ad- m1n1Stration railroad bill on the floor the honor will go to Chairman Mann of the committee on interstate and for eign commerce. This fact developed today, and supporters of the bill in the form in which it was originally intro duced by Representative Townsend and as it is now pending in the senate are greatly disappointed The admin istration is looking to the senate to save the principal features of the original bill. That the coalition of in surgent republicans and democrats is formidable Is admitted by friends of the bill, and they are devoting them selves to the formulation of amend ments. which they hope will harmonize some of the differences.
 Not the slightest considera tionN is being given by the senate to the atti- tude of the house on the bill.
 Interest Centers in Presidents Rail-
 road Bill.
 More pressure is being cxerted by senate leaders to carry out President Tafts views on the railroad bin than on any other of the administration measures. It would surprise no one IT the conservation measures should go over until another session.
 Appropriation bills are being passed by the senate about rapidly as they are received from the house. The spirit Of retrenchment which has a firm hold in the senate committee pre- cludes the enlargement of the bills to any extent and therefore there have been no contests whatever over the 
 Considerable talk is heard about busting Cannon from the speakership IS well as the rules committed and on Saturday the idea was advanced that Asher c. Hinds, the parliamentarian of of the house, be put forward for that place.
 The democrats of the house are ve- 1ement in their declarations that they will carry the next house and it is not <nown how they would feel about the selection of a non-member for the 'peakership. Neither is it known how Mir. Hinds would feel about giving up lis candidacy for a seat in the house or an honor that might be compara- lively short The subject, nevertheless s attracting much attention.

FLOW OF LAVA CONTINUES.
Five Large New Pastures in Central
 Crater of Mount Vesuvius.

Catania. March 27.-While the quan- tity of lava from the craters of Mt Etna continues to decrease, the inter nal activity of the volcano was strong CT today than yesterday. Frank A. Perrett, the American vo1canologist believes the decrease in the flow of lava is due to instructions in the new craters which prevent it flowing freely and that later. either in few days or perhaps a week, the molten mass will force a passage or an earthquake will result. MT. Perrett went today from Nicolosi to the Alpine club refuge which is situated near the craters and later telephoned down as follows:
 The activity of Etna is stronger but the lava is slower. Terrific expIo- sions in the interior of the mountain continue"
 Naples, March 27.-Five large new Assures have opened near the central crater of Mt. Vesuvius, but the vol cano shows no great activity.
