Wilmington Dispatch Our only
surprise that but eight of the
Kansas legislators know the
Lords prayer. is over the mum
Der being that large.
Shelby Highlander: Who will
say that Shelby dirt near the
Court Square or Plaza is not valu-
able, when a Is foot Lot on South
Lafayette street brought $50
per front foot, or $3.50 total?
M~ooresvilIe Enterprise: The
copious rains during the past few
days finds the industrious farmer
well prepared for a wet season.
1t is said that more land has been
ploughed up to this time than in
many, many years.
Atlanta journal: It was unite
natural that Lord Decies and his
bride should come to Georgia for
part of their honeymoon. While
we have no lords In our midst. we
have several millionaires who live
like lords.
Charlotte Observer: A portrait
of Sidney Lanier painted by Miss
Matte DoWd has been purchased
for the new high school build
ing in Montgomery, Ala. The
school is named in honor of Sid
ney Lanier and was formally OBJ
ened a few days ago. The por-
trait which was placed on exhi-
bltion for the occasion is a life
size bust done in oil.
Canton indicator: Mr.. Frank
Smathers of Waynesville, son of
DIR. b. F. Smathers, has been ap-
pointed District Judge of New
Jersey at a salary of $4,000. This
is indeed an honor to young MI.
Smathers he being only % years
old. His many friends throughout
Western North CarolinaIwil be
glad to hear of his good fortune.
Rockingham Post: The Holt
property on Washington street
was sold Monday at public auc-
ton by the Morrison Land Co.
The property has a % foot front
and extends back to the street in
the rear. It brought $9.95O or a
little over 1852 per front foot.
This price is exceptionally high
and shows what. real estate is
worth in a good live town.
Atlanta Constitution: George
,Boykin," a I5-year-old rattle
snake, who had basked, discomfort
ed, in the laboratory of DR.. Fl. T.
Harris, secretary Of the state
board of health since last spring.
was found dead yesterday morn
ing. The snake had refused food
persistently since brought in cap
from it's native home in
county, North Carolina.
and literally committed suicide by
starving to death. It has been con-
signed to a jar of alcohol.
Spring Hope Leader: 1t is a
shame to see SO many of our farm
ers buying and hauling to the
farms great quantities of feed
stuff when this produce could and
should be raised where it is con-
sumed. The farmers of Nash coun-I
ty will never be their own until
they learn to raise their own sup
on the farm. It is very i'm
portant that their smokehouses
and barns should notrbe too far
from home, otherwise their peck
ct books will go hungry.
Laurinburg Exchange: Last
was trade day in Laur-
inburg and a host of horse trad
ers, both white and colored,
the back lots and alleys
of the town. Much whiskey was
many plug mules and
were exchanged and at
least one fight was pulled off.
This was engaged I'm by Dorsey
a white horse trader, and
Sell Griffin, a negro, as princi-
pals with a few other participant
ng ito a greater or less extent.
As a result of the row., Boahn
bears the marks Of the negro s
while the negro escaped I'M
