Christine Hackney, which occurred
very suddenly several days ago. While
attending to her usual duties, she was
taken suddenly ILL., DIR. Edmonds, OF
iillmarnock, was hastily summoned
and administered medicine, which gave
temporary relief. Some time after the
physician had left, servant went into
Mrs. HackneY's room and found that
she was dead. 1t is supposed that
death resulted from the rupture of a
blood vessel. Mrs. Hackney was a
native of Sweden and came to this
country when she was, quite young.
For some years she lived In Baltimore
and Washington where she was en-
ployed as decorator. On several &C.
casions she assisted in decorating the
White House for the Inauguration ex-
ercises, Some years ago she married
a man named Dodson, who was en-
ployed on one of the steamers of the
Merchants and Miners Line, and con-
GUIDED to settle in the lower part OF
Lancaster, where she purchased a line
farm. On the death of Dodson she
married Captain Hackney, another sea-
faring man, who survives her. On this
farm she erected large house with
about forty rooms in it, all of which
she decorated in a most artistic man

Good Union County Farming.
{ (WaXhaw EnterDriSe.) }

" dAHdW EnterDTlSe.)
Mr.. R. ]. Wentz, of Vance township.
is not the only good cotton farmer
in Union county. Mr.. w P. Neely.
or the Tirxah neighborhood, Jackson
county. Is also good cotton farmer.
He b.l; "a ''brag'' patch Of three
quarters OF an acre this year from
which he gathered 2,250 pounds the
first picking, and he thinks he will
easily get $500 or $500 pounds, while
many think he will gather four bales.
The rows are eight feet apart, with
one stalk every two feet in the row.
The stalks are tumbled in every direc-
ton. Many Of the limbs have more
bolls on them than whole stalks Of
ten have that some people call good
cotton. The land is very poor and red,
and perhaps not having had d stump
on 1t in seventy-five years.
One thousand seven hundred and
fifty pounds Of fertilizer was used with
possibly 20 loads Of manure. After the
cotton is gathered Mr.. Neely will SOW
it in fine wheat and resow it in the
spring in clover and orchard grass.
He is preparing to have his brag
patch next year on fve-acre plat
west Of his home, followed IN the fail
with wheat and grass seeds. He al
ready has a lot of fine clover and
orchard grass sown, and is making
preparations as fla st as possible to con-
vert his farm into a grass and stock
farm. Mr.. Nicely realizes the fact that
fjrst-claSs. up-&o-date farming is the
only kind that pays and has long
since done away with the idea OF
working a whole neighborhood Of poor
land IN cotton.

All men were created free, except
from the power Of sin. which holds
us all under bondage in this life. All
men are entitled to the same priv
ileges. under the law, but our Ma
tional government has granted special
privileges to certain classes which en-
able them. under the protection Of the
law. to prey upon the masses. BY
reason Of this unjust discrimination,
the masses which produce more than
eighty per cent Of the wealth Of the
nation, are not permitted to noli and
to enjoy the fruits of their toll. There
fore thousands Of boys and girls have
been, and are being deprived of the
advantages of an education In the
strenuous battle to keep the wolf from
the door. We meet men every day
good men and true. who are handi
capped in this commercial age Of
sharp competition, because they have
not had that earlier training Of mind
and hand which would enable them
to solve the problems Of life. The
great majority of us realize more and
more every day that we are Of this
unfortunate class OF men and that we
are unable. singiehanded and alone, to
cope successfully with the shrewd in
telngence which dominates the COM
nercial an.1 political world.
Let rs learn two practical lessons
from these facts. First, that we
should do all in our power to nt our
boys and girls for the life work be-
fore them We don't want our chit-
dren to be "hewers Of wood and draw
ers Of water" We would like TO make
Hfe's pathway little smother and
easier for them than it has been for
us We would, at least. like TO start
them "on an equal footing" with those
who are to be their competitors IN the
race Of life. We should strive with
might and main to give them tnat

ing and the highest type Of useful clti-
zenship That equipment which VIII

VOL It is an obligation that every
parent has assumed volunta rily. These
children are soon to take our place In
the State. IN the church, in the school
and In the home. The way IN which
We discharge this duty will determine
largely the type OF citizenship in our
State twenty years hence. When tho
righteous are in authority the people
rejoice; but when the wicked bear
rule the people mourn" 1t is IN o1
power to give Joy and peace and pros
perity to the next generation IN North
Carolina, if we will rise TO the full
measure OF our duty. It may require
drudgery on our part, but the cause
is worth the effort.
Now of course, it goes without say
ing, this means that We are going to
see to it that agriculture Is taught In
our common schools Do you know
that so per cent of our population Is
agricultural? That means that so per
cent of the boys and girls are going TO
spend their lives on the farm. Do you
know that 95 per cent of our children
never go beyond the fifth grade in the
common schools? Then il they are TO
get any special knowledge of their life
work, they must get it in the common
| schools. The case Is before you. Dc
| eide it for the right.
The second lesson we should learn
! Is, that since we have not had the
necessary equipment to cope with in
tel1igence, we should unite our efforts
and forces that We may atone in num-
bers for what we may lack in dis
cipline and training. We should or

In the Urique mining district in

miles south of Barranca de Cobre, two
remarkably rich mining properties that
will soon be reached by the projected
Orient railway on its way down the
Unique river toward Sinaloa. One or
these is the Nueva Cananea consisting
of q pertenencias through which runs
a vein SO feet wide, Outcropping like
erosion. 80 feet or more above the
surface. This reef or erosion is COM
posed of an amygdaloid similar TO the
famous amaygdaloidal formation of
Lake Superior. The holes or cavities
are filled with chaIcocite running from
o. to rs ounces gold and as high as
81 percent copper a ton. The surround
ing country rock is green trap and
porphyry-
Nearby is the other property called
the Dolores, in which is a vein seven
feet wide carrying ore running 300
ounces silver, from two to three ounces
gold and SO percent lead. The owner
of these mines is S. W. Howard. of Ell
Paso, a mining engineer at one time
assayer for Balbach Bros. of New Jer-

Has Same Name as Vice
Consul in Juarez.
-ello. is that you, Gurley?"

Hello, is that you, Gurley?"
Yes. this is Gourley; who are your
why, this is Gurley, too; another

Now, Gurley or Gourley, is a very
uncommon name. far more unusual
than Smith or Brown or McGraw, for
that matter. And for that reason the
above conversation was rather unusual,
too.
1t occurred over the telephone be-
tween Mexico and also over the inter-
national line. J. H -Gurley, late post
master at GreenviIle. Texas, was talk
ing over postmaster Smiths private
phone in the Ell Paso postoffice and
vice consul J. W. Gourley was at the
other end in his office at the American
conSulate-in Juarez.
1t being strange and unusual, Mr.
Gourley. the vice consul. Immediately
boarded a street car and met Mr.. Cur
ley, postmaster. just as he was about
to board a westbound train 1t appear
ed that the postmaster had called on
Mr. Smith. who is known very well.
and the local government man hap
pened to mention vice consul Gourley.
So postmaster Gurley just had to talk
to consul Gourley.
In the 10 minute visit between the
two Gurleys-or is it Gourleys-much
was learned. Vice consul Gourley never
heard before of postmaster Gurley. But
going back it was found that both fam
lilies originated back in Tennessee. and

New York Man Strikes Rich
Ore in Property He Pur-

the famous Tigre district come forward
>yith a rich strike. this time in COM
paratively new mine FL TembIor, To-
Gated u miles south of the Lucky IT,
ger, the mother lode of the district
few months ago Henry c. Carr, OF
New York. took over FL Temblor, a
small property OF good repate, contain
ing only nine pertenencias, from P L..
Van Dusen and Tim Lambertson.
About the same time Carr bought
the Antigua, the Last Chance, the
Texas and New York. For FL Temblor
Carr paid $4,000. He built road into
the Antigua group, much farther south.
and has there opened up a rich body of
copper ore on the Antigua, which in
olden times was a silver mine, now
pretty well established as the Huacal,
referred to in old Spanish history In
the meantime Carr continued to develop
FL Temblor.
When he took this mine there was
upon it shaft and a short drift and
winze This showed ore running eight
ounces in gold and about II ounces in
silver Carr started a tunnel under
the winze. The ore dropped away on
slant from the Wine towards the apex
of the hill, but when within 40 feet
of the point where the vein was ex-
pected to be cut, ore running $4,000
ton was cut into. 1t is in two veins or
streaks, one eight inches on one side
and the other running parallel and six
inches in width.
The strike has enthused all mining
men who have properties in the Tigre
