children in the township now.
l walked to old Carolina Ac-
adefny for several years, carry
ing my lunch in tin bucket
there were no school buses or
hot lunches. Pupils now 60 to
Pineville, Matthews or Charlotte,
at the expense of the county.
Two or more Justices of the
Peace helped to enforce laws.
Now, rural police, in cars, ride
out from the county seat. The
kind of local self-government
boosted of for years has gone.
| Yet, the people generally are
satisfied. In 1889, and years
prior to that, land owners grew
cotton, corn, wheat, and oats
the bolt weevil had not arrived,
but the chinch bug had to dis
courage farmers.
Back then wage hands were
hired by the year to produce
crops-there were but few ten
ants or share-croppers. Now, one
seldom sees a hand hired for a
year; that amounts to a revolu-
ton. The owner provides the
land, the workstock, and feed
for it, the tools, the Seed. half
the fertilizer, and house for
the tenant, who furnishes the
labor for planting, tilling and
harvesting. A Negro man or wo-
man with several workers need
not have difficulty getting land.
Labor is the essential element.
The money for the crop, when
sold, is divided fifty-fifty. The
plan seems to work well, pro-
vided the weather is good, and
the yield fair. But if there is a
failure the landowner suffers.
Under such conditions the time
supply store was revived. The
land owners stand for" their
tenants, if they need help dur
ing the working season, and
some of them have to pay the
bills. Circumstances may leave
the farmer with the bag to hold;
if his tenant should die, or run
away or go to Jail the situation
would be bad. The tenant, pic,
tured as the down-trodden per.
son may make more money
may have more at the end of the
year-than his employer! Ir
the old days, if colored family
had a few dollars for Christmas
it was fortunate. They had not
suffered for food for the en-

ployer saw to that. A wage
hand received, in addition to
cash each month, twelve pounds
of meat, a bushel of meal, a
gallon of molasses, and, if he
used it, a plug of tobacco. He
had a place for his cow, and a
place for a garden. But, when
the year was over, he had moth
ing, but his job, and what it
gave him month by month.
Now, any energetic, and we'll.
behaved tenant can have an
automobile.
Since I returned here l have
seen the head of a colored fam
lily have as much as $4,000 the
day of settlement. One old fell
low who came to this neighbor-
hood from another state, with
four or five workers, was pow
erty stricken; white people in
the community gave members
of his family clothes to tide
them over. Within two years l
saw him carrying about on his
person $1,000 and a bottle of
good, stout corn liquor.
The first man, according to a
historian to arrive in this Sec
ton in a wheeled cart, came
from Maryland in 1740. His
name was Thomas Spratt or
Sprott; following, on foot, came
one of the Polk family to court
one of his girls. From that time
on for years streams of Scotch
Irish families came to this area,
and settled along the creeks.
Many of the tracts of land of
today are in the names of de-
scendants of pioneers; Provi-
dence township is largely oc-
cupied by them. But, now an
other revolution is in progress,
and onlookers doubt if the old
section will survive or be the
same again. Charlotte, the coun-
ty seat, is overlooking the coun-
ty, and there is serious talk of
turning it into one big township
doing away with Providence,
Sharon, Pineville, Morning Star,
Steele Creek, Paw Creek, Dew
csc and others. Land values,
south of Charlotte, extending to
the South Carolina line, have in
creased rapidly in the last few
years. Farm lands in Providence
are too high for profits from
crops. Charlotte people, with
good remunerative jobs or bank
accounts, are buying old places
for residences. In the old days
it took three or four hours to
60 from my old home to Char
lotte in a buggy or wagon, or
on horseback. Now the trip can
be made over good, hard-sur-
faced roads in from Is to 20
minutes.
People who have employment
in Charlotte, a rapidly growing
city, can work there during the
day and spend the night down
here. Recently, lands sold for
$4,000 an acre ten years ago,
now bring 100000. That is not
an exception but the rule. This
rolling country is fine for pretty
homes, where the air is clear
and healthfu1, and fish ponds.
In the last few years small lakes
have become popular. Some
weeks ago a Charlotte man
hunting for a farm, was sent to
farmer who could tell him
about the lines of a tract for
sale. The two had started on a
tour of the 100 acres, when the
would-be purchaser saw pretty
little run of water, and a little
valley. Stopping to view it he
asked: "Is this on it?"
Eyes," was the answer.
well, I'll take i'll"
Don't you want to see the
rest of it?"
"No, I have seen enough"

were of the original pioneer
stock in this particular section,
and my father, was an inter-
loper, from Greene County, in
the eastern part of the state.
From that union came 10
children, eight of whom, seven
sons and a daughter, grew to
maturity. Four of the sons are
now over 70 years of age. My
father was a Confederate sold
Ter, fighting until disabled by
a mimic bali from the gun of a
Union soldier. May 5, 1864, in
the Battle Of the Wilderness,
hear Orange, Virginia. He mar
ried in 1865 and settled here,
where I live.
/ left the A. and M. College
at Christmas 1889 = not because
wanted to, but President Hol-
iday suggested to my father
my space was more desirable
than my presence. I was put
back to work ON the farm, and
remained there until the fall Of
1891, when I entered the Uni
versity at Chapel Hill, gradu-
ating in 1895. On my way home
with a sheepskin, I never saw
again for fifty years, I got en-
ployment with The Charlotte
Observer, then owned and pub
lished by Messrs. J. P. Caldwell,
editor, and D. A. Tompkins, in
dustrialist, working the first
two months for nothing, and
then, $1,000 a month. In 1907
Mr.. Caldwell assigned me to
Washington, where / remained
for So years. twenty of which
was with the Bureau there of
the old New York World, Of
the Pulitzer era. I was with The
World when it was sold to the
Scripps-Howward people in 1881,
and the morning edition scrapp-
ed. After that I represented
The Boston Herald and North
Carolina newspapers.
At the age of II, when Mrs.
Bryant died, I made the mistake
of retiring. Now, for almost a
decade, I have been here, in the
country, watching others work,
and the world agonize. Leaving
the University with a debt of
$4,000 for my education there,
I paid it, and saved little to
carry me to my grave.
When I left home with a
scholarship, in 1889, for the A.
and M. College, my old COM
munity was full of good farmers
and happy, healthy children,
and two thriving churches, Pro-
violence, organized by Scotch
Irish Presbyterians in 1867, and
Harrison, by Methodists in 1915.
Two or more old-field schools,
with teachers who prepared girls
and boys for life, or college,
provided educational facilities.
