CALEDONIA FARM
ACREAGE FLOODED
Dyke Holding Roanoke Riv-
err Breaks, Water Cover
ing $500 Acres.
Daily Dispatch bureau.
In The Sir Walter H0te-,

by -. u lbASEA
Raleigh. Jan. 9.-The dyke which
protects the 7,000-acre Caledonia Fri
son farm from the Roanoke river, in
Halifax county, broke again yester-
day and some $500 acres are now un-
der water, Chairman Capus M. Way
nick. of the State Highway and Pub
lie Horks Commission, said today.
This dyke is between nine and ten
miles long, is 200 feet wide at the
base and rises 20 feet above the nor
NAL level of the river banks and is
supposed to protect the farm from be-
ing flooded by the Roanoke river
even when it reaches it's highest flood
tide The dyke was built 106 years
ago, in 1880 by slave labor, with the
tons and tons of dirt used in building
it hauled in wheelbarrows, or carts or
by hand in large baskets.
The dyke washed out in about this
same place in 1864 and was not re-
built until 1894. The rebuilt dyke held
until 1892, when a break occurred in
the same place, or near the same
place where it washed out yesterday,
Waynick said. The $500 acres now
tile on the huge farm, the largest sim
gle farm under cultivation IN North
Carolina. About 5000 bushels of corn
was reported lost as the result of the
break, although this had not been
verified today.
The dyke had been under constant
patrol day and night since the Roa-
noke river started rising about a
week ago, and there were no outward
signs that the dyke was weakening,
Waynick said, although the river
reached a flood stage of more than
43 feet at Weldon, above the farm.
But indications are that the heavy
snow and subsequent rains, assisted
by numerous muskrats which bore
holes in the dyke, and which the river
enlarges, weakened it to such an ex-
tent that it could not resist the pres
sure of the flood waters. The weather
bureau here pointed out that there
was much ice in the river and that
this might have helped to weaken the
dyke.
1t is hoped the river will recede
enough so the dyke can be repaired
before the spring rains and accom-
panylng high water come, so that the
now flooded land can be utilized for
crops this spring and summer.

We are all looking forward to the
year 1886, and are wondering what
will happen, and I know of no better
forecast of the, present situation than
was taken from an interview from
Mr.. Jno. G.. Longsdale, of the Mer-
cantile-Commerce Bank & Trust
Company, of St. Louis, when he said,
and i take pleasure in quoting from
him that:
1.-The Sap Has Started UP the Tree.
From the point of view of business
1885 has been better than 1884 1t
seems reasonable to anticipate that
1886 will be better still unless presi-
uclllldl anu CO1lS cSoIOIldl 1AAPdlSA
with the sharp differences of opinion
they accentuate, should retard ma
tional progress.
Many conditions today are favor
able to progress. The results of i'm
pairment of production have given us
many vacuums to fill and much OBJ
SOleScence to overcome. Given a fair
chance these will powerfully stimulate
industry and trade. The prospect has
much in it of encouragement; the sap
is already going up the tree.
mo forecast can afford to ignore
the relation of the exercise of the
taxing power to business and social
welfare. The governments right to
tax is a sacred right. 1t comes Just
after the governments duty to pre-
serve the liberty of the individual.
The proper balance of the two must
be preserved, or the exercise of the
taxing power may be found enroach-
ing en- individual liberty. Taxation
should be scientific, and non-par-
tiSan."
AS your president, I submit the
above for consideration with a great
deal of thankfulness and sincere
gratitude to my friends, stockholders.
officers and directors, who have con-
slstently and in full measure bestow-
ed upon me their confidence, good
will and cheer, and for this reason 7
hope the New Year will be remember
ed as a happy one.

Hoey Sees Great
ERA Of. Prosperity
CONTINUED from Page One)

country has ever. witnessed in all its
glorious history
Mr.. Hoey did not refer directly to
the recent action by the Supreme
Court in holding the AAA. act uncon-
stitutional, but he intimated that he
did not consider this as much of a
blow to the Roosevelt administration
as somethink, also that a way would
be found to preserve and continue
benefits that have been extended tc
the farmers and agriculture through
the AAA. He did refer very pointedly
however, to the widely different at
titudes toward the constitution by the
Republican and Democratic parties
and the Republican point of view
when he said
1.-THE Republican party lives in the
past. It looks upon the by-gone years
as the golden era. It's hopes are in
the grave and it is always seeking to
go back to omething-normalcy the
flesh-pots of Egypt, garlick and graft
and sometimes in search of the
Constitution. It is generally solicit.
tuition when special privilege is about
to. be dethroned.
"The Democratic party, on the 9TH
er hand, believes in the Constitution
and revers it's sacred guarantees OF
both human and property rights and
would keep it's mandates inviolate
but regards that great document as
the Magma Charta of our liberties and
as living thing, to be interpreted in
a broad and liberal spirit, aiding in
the solution of the problems of this
day. This. does not mean that any OF
its provisions shall be disregarded OF
any of it's precepts ignored, but that
great accomplishments shall be in
augurated and worked out. in har.
mony with its limitations, so that a
mighty nation through its govern
ment may serve agriculture, indus
try and business to the end that re-
covery may be complete and so great
humanitarian measures in behalf of
old people and the workers of the
country may make for the permanent
prosperity of all the people.
1T is fitting that the Young DEM
ocrats are taking the lead in the OBJ
servance of this day dedicated to the
contemplation of Democratic :prfn-
ciples fought for by Andrew Jakson.
For the Democratic party appeals to
the youth of the land. It cherishes the
ideals which they hold dear. It is a
party of progress, of hope, of daring,
of courage and of faith. 1t looks to
the future. 1t, believes in the applica-
ton of the principles of justice, fair
play and equality in; the affairs OF
the government. It recognizes no caste
or class; it, denies, the. right of any
group to have superior. claims upon
or special privileges from the, govern
ment. It believes in government de-
irving it's just powers from the con-
sent of the governed and exercising
these powers in furtherance of the
common good.
Young people find a natural en-
vironment in the Democratic. party. ]
believe in giving them full recognition
and in placing upon them much OF
the responsibility of party government
and activity. The young people of Am
erica have made a great record for
sanity and patriotism during the pc
Rod when the young people of many
other nations have joined in move
ments to overthrow their govern
ments. The Democratic party is the
party of youth and hopes"
