The Caucasian. (Clinton, N.C.) 188?-1913, 1911-05-11
AN AUD LADY OR A CHEERFUL
ONE.

It was during the rush hours, and
I felt a little guilty in boarding an
electric car when the clerks and
workmen have the first right; but /
must reach the uptown station in
time for my train and | could not do
it by walking. no sooner entered
than an Irishman, with all the marks
of hard work upon him, pulled off a
dusty cap and offered me his seat.
"Allus give my seat to an auld
lady or a cheerful one" he ejaculat-
ed in a would-be whisper to his COM
panion on the opposite side of the
car.
Sure" replied Mike, approvingly.
Not realizing that I overheard
them, they paid no attention to my
conscious bushes, but each time the
car stopped watched the newcomer
narrowly. A fashionably dressed,
but disconnected woman, failed to
awaken any interest in Mike.
Nav he muttered to his friend
who stood; ''I'll follow your move
1 won't move" NO" he added. ir
reverently, mot for that sour-faced
sissy"
Two pretty girls entered, looking
expectantly for seats to be offered
but Mikes eyes were suddenly on the
floor and he budged not. Presently
the car made a longer stop and the
conductor leaned down to help some
one to the platform. Quick as
thought my Irishman was punching
his friend, exclaiming: Cup man,
up!" My eyes followed Mikes to
the pale, sad, weary-faced young wo-
man who came in carrying a baby
who crowed and smiled contently in
her arms.
Mike was kind and he started to
rise, but he was puzzled as to the
working of his friends theory. "She
amt auld," he said questioningly,
"and she amt cheerful
Nav" was the impatient reply,
"she amt cheerful, but the baby is;
up with vel" And Mike was in
stantly on his feet, while the pale
young woman smiled her thanks and
settled comfortably into his seat

We live in 8 day of discovery and progress. Old things are giving way to new and better things. The world advances. He who is not awake to the trend of the times, sleeps on to his own loss. He who does not keep step with the march of progress will be left behind the procession, and part company with his more enter prising neighbor. Nowhere in the sphere of human industry is there more need of intelligent effort than among the horny handed sun-burnt sons of toil. on the farm Nowhere do greater returns for intelligent ef- fort await men. Study the nature of the soil, plant life, and learn how to produce the most and best at low. est cost in money and labor. It you can make an acre produce two bush- els to where it has been yielding one, for practically the same labor, you not only reap double in quantity, but nearly or quite double in quality and price. Keep pace with the use of labor-saving machinery. It saves hu- GdA Vitality, SOlSCi NOo PHS olSoA SOAA- fort and prolongs yoar years. Get the best breeds of stock and domestic animals.

cial peach orchards in the state arc composed of Elberta trees Arkaa- sas. has originated a number of fino varieties of fruits. including apples. peaches, grapes and strawberries. but here is a mighty good thing which did not originate in good old Arkan- sas. It is Georgia production orig. mating at Marshalville, through the efforts of Samuel H. Rumph. It be- longs to the Chinese cling type Of peaches, which was first introduced Into this country about 1850. Mr. E Rumph believed that the strain had not reached it's full possibilities and set about to develop better commer- cial variety than was then in exist. ence. This was in 1872. Tn that year he planted 1,200 seedlings. He grad. ually cut out the less promising speci- mems, until at last there remained but one fruiting tree out of the lot. In this tree he recognized the ideal he had dreamed of and began to prop agate it in large qualities and set out extensive orchards of the variety. He gave it the name of Elberta in honor of his wife. The variety has been of untold value to the country and has been an important factor in the vast extension of commercial peach culture in the United States. It is not of the highest quality, but is At- tractive in color and carries to dis
 tant markets in perfect condition. This is sine qua non in conner cial peach, and point in which the Elberta is unrivaled. The Elberta ;s the commercial peach of the foot hills of the Ozark, where the eIeva- tions range from two or three hun dred feet to eight hundred or so. In
 that section of the state the Elberta
 bears from seven to nine crops jn ten.
 In northwest Arkansas, where the
 elevation is on the average about
 l.50o feet, we need a commercial va. riety hardier in bud than the Elberta Bishop Whatelv once said to sev- eral associates who were discussing the construction of a pavement about church to be composed of wooden
 blocks, "all we have to do is to lay our heads together" Arkansas is the seeding ground of America. One could hardly plant a thousand peach seeds without a good chance of get, ting out of the lot one or more meri- torious seedlings. This work carried on as side line need not occupy much of ones tims, as it is as fasci-
 hating to the. one in the work as a game of chess.
