deep and the river has fallen /

this part of the river time and
again this week, using long poles
ana gigs in their efforts to To-
cate the body, but somehow their
efforts were in vain, this prob
ably being due to the depth of
the water.
Acting on the old theory that
the body of Il drowned person
will rise on the ninth day after
the drowning, a large number Of
the members of the late rector S
Pensioners and other citizens OF
Morganton and vicinity renewed
the search with increased vigor
Saturday night. With large
torches, lanterns and other lights
the searchers patrolled the banks
for several miles and others
We're out in boats all night. At
dawn the ranks of the searchers
were increased by other citizens
and this number grew larger as
the day progressed. When the
body was found both banks of
the river were lined with people

the scene of the sad tragedy of
nine days ago, some of the
searchers being several miles

Two Salisbury Men Trimmed.

New York Dispatch. s5rd.
Two Southern gentlemen from Sal.
isbury, \. c.. X. Munnally and J. T.
Morgan, reached town last night with
quite over $500 in their pockets and
armed with two big blue steel revolt
vers, their object being, as they told
Of it, to employ a number of female
BARRIERS and revolutionize the bar
Der business in Salisbury. Munnally
says he is worth several thousand
dollars, the larger portion Of which
was settled upon him by the South
ern railway following wreck on
that road in which he was badly in
iured. Morgan says be is a real es-
tate man.
On their way from Washington
they met a young chap. who told
them that he had been in the navy
and was tired Of his job, was out Of
work, good fellow, and would show
them all over New York. To this
proposition they graciously consent
ed. The taxicab bills ran up to S25
in a jiffy, according to Munnally.
The couple then took their guest to
a theater, where he was treated to
the best seat and other things. At
ter the show they went to make up
for the lost time that the two South
erners realized was tagging them
because of their past years exist
ence in very dry State. After all
this and some more had happened,
the three went to the Hotel Taft.
Their guest, who said his name was
Fred c. Presnait, went up to spend
the night with the North Carolinians.
Grief followed their first nap.
When they awoke Presnait was gone
and their bank roll and pistols were
also missing. This note Presnait
left behind; ITO my dear friends: |
am sorry | had to trim you. | ex-
press my regrets 10 you both. |
need the guns also, so will take
them along. Hoping to remain yours,

Broke His EGGS.

Mr., W. Thos. Laney is the first
man in the country to buy an au-
tomobilc. Mr.. l.aney is natur-
al machinist and the thing appeal
ed to him and, of course, he has
had no trouble with running it.
But when he started to town last
Friday over a rough road with
a load of eggs, he had some, He
had a thirty-dozen box of eggs
changedd into good scrambled
eggs. His father, the genial
county commissioner, who is a
great poultryman, came along with
him and brought a box of sever
al dozen, and these didn't get
scrambled. But the Squire had
a pair of tired arms when he got
here. OF course Tom came ZOO
min, as Uncle Remus says, and
the holes and Jumps in the road
were so thick that the Squire
simply had to keep his box of
eggs hoisted high above his head
pretty much all the time. This
gave them a pendulum swing that
saved the eggs, but it made him
feel like he had done real work.

Fight Just Begun.
What Mr.. Broom Sees Over the
State.
tive nlansll

I've been from Mecklenburg tC
Halifax counties this spring" said
Mr.. t. j. w. Broom, who is direct,
ing demonstration work for the State
Department Of Agriculture, land
have found that the eastern counties
are great deal more advanced in
their work than this upper section.
In the east the farmers have plowed
pretty much all the winter, the
weather being favorable, and their
work is well advanced. In some
counties the corn is up large enough
to work, as it was planted in March.
In Mecklenburg, Cabarrus, Rowan,
Davidson and those west Of these
have suffered greatly from rain, and
the farmers have done scarcely no
work. OF course, those who plowed
last fall and in the early winter are
in better shape.
THE general idea is for better
preparation and better fertilization
While the cotton acreage will not be
increased, the better methods will
result in bigger crop at less ex-
pense il the conditions are favorable.
Everywhere | 60 this one truth
holds true. Where a farm is found
on which deep blowing is practiced,
crops are rotated and plenty of
legumes put in the soil, there is
found prosperous farmer, who is
making from one to two bales OF cot
ton per acre and from fifty to one
hundred bushels Of corn.
Zone thing that is going to make
a revolution in agriculture is tile
draining. Where it is practiced
crops have often been doubled the
first year. And | do not know OF
any place where it could be more
proftably adopted than in Union
county. DR.. Knapp said that tile
draining thirty inches deep was
equal to blowing thirty inches deep,
and he wanted to see some man tile
drain some Of the red hills of Geor-
gia. He said that it was a sure pre-
ventive Of washing.
Wherever go | find general i'm
provement and the people every
where are talking Of the contrast
between the present and even ten
ears ago. Farmers are better off,
have more, live better, take more in.
terest in their work and are more
hopeful and happy in every way.
Science and thinking and knowledge
are making profession Of agricul-
ture, and the farmer who refuses to
adopt the progressive methods will
simply be lost in the shuttle. The
world will not and indeed cannot
pay a man for simply being a far
mer, but it can pay and will pay
him for the results be achieves, that
is for being good farmer"
