A Long and Useful Careef

A Long and Useful Career.
In the death of j. Harper Johnston at
1890 o'clock Sunday morning High Point

the most remarkable one. Mr.. Johnston
passed the Goth mile-post on November
25th, of last year and up to ten days
before his death was ON the streets and
quite active for am an of his age. Death
was due to old age, a wearing out OF the
human machinery that had done such
perfect work for four score and ten
years.

1926, near old jamestown, married Miss
Mary MARTHA jackson, of Aiamance
county, on December 25, 1856, who pre-
ceded him to the grave several years ago.
Surviving are four children: Mrs. Oscar
e. Kearns, Mrs. VIM. G.. Bradshaw, Miss
Alice Johnston, of this city, AMI Mrs.

in THE INTEREST or. MILK
ROUTES AND TOBACCO

A good1y number gathered at Welch
school house, ON Route. 1, Friday night
for the purposes OF arousing interest in
the proposed milk edepot and routes and
a tobacco market for High Point. Chair
man A. E. Tate, of the Industrial COM
mittee, outlined the plan. E. H. Ander-
son, farm demonstration of this county
was present, was very enthusiastic over
the meeting and stated that he would
give all the attention possible to the
matters in hand.
A. Fl. Mcintosh, of the Carolina Cream
cry company, said that his company
would establish the route and depot
lust as soon as the farmers got ready;
that they were now paying 38c Ib.
for butter fat, and Il W only received 39c
for the butter. The purchasing of a
good breed of COWS and separator is, all
that is required of the farmers and they
will reap a harvest. In fact where it has
been tried out the farmers have become
independent.
j. M. johnson, of the United States
agriculture department was the next
speaker and he explained that the
wealthiest communities were those where
tobacco, wheat and corn were grown.
In regard to milk he said that if the
farmers went into the matter in the
right way there was a great future for
them. An average cow will give two
gallons of milk day for 10 months, an
average butter fat worth 1882, skinned
milk which is to be fed to pigs, $1.9S;
manure soc and calf 75c, total $11.O5, the
cost of feeding the average cow is SAILS:
39c for cotton seed meal, 78c for other
concentrates and $500 for hay, total
of $5O.O4 for the year or a profit OH each
cow of $55.96. About half of the farmers
present were in favor of the milk route.

Mr.. Johnston was giant in strength
si the prime of life and up till few
ago retained much of the vigor of
manhood. He WAS over six
feet in height and even in his last days
walked as erect as many at half the age
of 80. He never used spectacles and was
able to read newspapers and the fine
print of the Bible easily. In the past
ten years his hearing had become impair
ed some. His long and useful career is
attributed to his temperance in all
things. He served during the Confed
eracy as 'tithe MASTER" in seeing that
one-tenth of the earnings of the people
went to the support of the Cause. He
was steward in Wesley Memorial M.
E. church, director of the Home Bank
ing company, had voted for II Presi-
dents of the United States, all Demo-
cratic
The funeral services were held Monday
afternoon from the residence on Broad
street by Rev. Gilbert Rowe, of the
Wesley Memorial M. E. church. The ac-
tive pallbearers were chosen from the
Masonic fraternity and were: P. III. John
son, Thomas J. Gold, FL. A. Mills, y. 3.

BOGUS $500 GOLD PIECE
CAUSES TROUBLE

just before going to press this
morning The Review learns of a
rather interesting biz of news. con-
cerning a counterfeit $500 gold
piece, the story being as follows:
On October 18Th Eli Bowers and
wife Of the Pleasant Grove neighbor-
hood (betWeen here and Thomas
ville) brought a dressed hog to the
city and soId5it to YountS & Newton
Bros. for $20.88. The check was
given on the Home Banking Co. and
there it was cashed, Mrs. Bowers
asking for a $500 gold piece as a
part of the amount. Later the $500
was deposited at the Wachovia Bank
and Trust Co.. The evening of. +the
same day il was deposited a suspici-
Gus looking $500 gold piece turned
up in the counting room of this bank
and the record showed who had de-
posted $500 in gold. Mr.. Bowers
was notified by Henry E Thomas,
government detective, who had been
notified, and as the result Mr.. and
Mrs, Bowers are here this morning
to appear before Detective. Thom as
and make affidavit where they got
it. of course no: blame attaches TO
any of the banks in the transaction
OF to the Bowers, but Detect We
Thomas is trying to get an mixing
as to the operation Of the counler-
feitets. 1t is understood that the
bogus gold piece will eventually be
made good by the government.
This recalls to mind the important
counterfeiting cases here twelve and
fourteen years ago which the editor
handled for the big papers, but no
gold coins were involved and it ie
quite likely that this particular
counterfeit $500 gold piece. was
made in some other state. 49,.
The bogus gold piece is little
lighter than the real article and has
much less gold in it.

Five Per Cent Higher than

Apple quotations for the coming
season, which have by now been fairly
well fixed by Yakima shippers, will
be about 25 per cent higher than the
figures given at the opening of the ap-
pie season last year, says the Yakima
Republic. They are about 10 per cent
higher than the figures announced by
L. j. Blot, of the Spokane Fruitgrow-
ers' association and are Is per cent
higher than announced Wenatchee f.
o. b. quotations. The Yakima ship
pers unhesitatingly point to the val
ley's storage facilities as the reason
for the difference in quotations and
say that both Wenatchee and Spokane
growers must get rid of their fruit
speedily and hence are forced to take
a lower price.

pie quotations for the standard var
