Long passed away almost suddenly at his home in Statesville on Saturday afternoon, March 14th. A few hours before he suffered a stroke of paralysis, and about four h'ours later he succumbed. Benjamin Franklin Long was born March 19, 1853, at the Long homestead, two and a half miles east of Graham. Ilis parents were Jacob Long and Jane Stuart Stockard Long. He WAS the youngest of a family of seven dis tinguished brothers and one sister—John Henry, who went to Missouri and was a farmer; Drs. Wm. S. and Daniel A., minis ters; Jacob A. and Beuj» F., lawyers; Dr. Geo. W., physician; Joseph, who made the supreme sacrifice at the battle of Chancel lorsville in defense of tlip South land; and Mrs. Bettie Clendenin, who was the wife of Mr. J N. H. Clendenin. The only survivor is Dr Daniel A. Long. Judge Long was educated at Trinity College under that renown ed educator, Dr. Braxton Craven. He finished at the head of his Hass June, 1874. Among his class-mates were Senator Over man, Rev. Dr. W W. Staley and others who rose to distillation. "" Judge Long taught for a year or two and then read law. He first practised in Graham for a short while. Later he took the law course at the University of Virginia. In 1878 he located in Statesville and formed a partner ship with Maj. W. M Bobbins. A year or more later he WHS united iff marriage with Miss Mary Alice Kobbina. In the latter 80's and early 90's lie served as Solicitor of his judi cial district. At the time of his death he had been Judge of the Superior Court for about 22 years He was oue of the Stale's most distingui.died jurists, and so learned in the law was hi* that he had lieen urged by uieiutiers of 1 lie legal profession for Imih the Slate and United States Supreme Courts The suddeiiess of Ills taking off was a shock lo his friends every where, and his old friends in Ala mance were especially Ktieved.

Tom tarheel says that he has been using the cultivator alncv the day he beard the school teach er Vive a reading of "The Man With The ffne " not ALAMAMGX GLIAMEB, GRAHAM, M. a CERTIFIED SEED POTA TOES BEAR A BLUE TAG Some shippers of seed Irish po tatoes coming into North Caro lina have used a white tag on their sacks with a general statement about the potatoes being of choice strain and apparently free from disease with no proper official signing the statement. The State Division of Markets cSlls atten tion to the fact that such a certi fication is worth nothing and growers should see that their po tatoes have a blue tag on the sack and that the certificate is signed by a State Inspector in the State where the seed potatoes were grown. Without such pro tection, the grower is liable to be disappointed in his results. In calling attention to this im portant matter, George Ross, Chief of the Division of Markets says, "Potatoes that .have been certified to by some stale or gov ernment agency bear a blue tag giving, the name of the State in a conspicuous place. These blue tags are also signed by the certi fying State officer and carry the guarantee that the potatoes have been inspected while they were growing in the field, and that they have been inspected again after harvesting and have been found to measure up to the rules and regulations laid down by the State Certification Board in that res pective state. "Properly certified seed potatoes have established a nation-wide reputation in that they generally produce good stands and a higher yield per apre than uncertified stock. Naturally with this repu tation in back of them, certified seed potatoes sell at a higher price than uncertified or table stock. As some dealers are imbued with the idea of making as much mon ey as they can from their product that they have resorted to the method of tagging their product as certified, whereas this same product is probably no better than ordinary table stock shipped from these same producing sec tions. Furthermore, one case was called to our attention last year where a buyer in North Carolina had purfhased certified seed stock from Maine and received a ship ment which was tagged with the blue tags but which tags were not signed. The fact that these tags were not signed meant that they had been secured through some il licit channels and that they had not been issued by the State certi fying officer. It is of utmost im portance to see that all tags on certified seed potatoes are prop erly signed." PECAN PLANTING SEASON CLOSES WITH MARCH Those who contemplate plant ing pecan trees about the house or in the orchard this ye«\j should be to get the trees set be fore the end of March, advise* H. M. Cur ran, Forester for the State College Extension Service. This means that only a few weeks are left in which to make plantings for this year. Thousands of trees have been set in North Carolina this winter as a result of the campaign put on by the extension forces for a million pecan trees in eastern Carolina. The movement has the backing of the North Carolina Pecan Growers' Society of which \V. N. Roper of Raleigh is Secre tary and this organization has ar ranged for trees of suitable varie tie to be held for late spring planting. The trees are being sold at lowest possible prices be cause of the campaign. Mr. Roper and Forester Curran state that those who wish to plant trees this year should take advan tage of the low prices secured through the Society and write either to the local County Agent or to Mr. Curran for securing those trees that will be needed now. Many persons in North Caro lina gathered from trees growing about their homes and gardens quantities of pecans ranging in value from a few dollars to sever-1 al hundred dollars. Three trees in eastern Carolina produced 285 pounds of nuts and forty-five trees in another section produced 4,000 pounds. "Plant pecans now," avises For ester Curran. "The crop is too valuable to delay a whole year in harvesting nuts from your own trees."

A LESPEDEZA EPISODE Sam Love, a World War vet eran of Stanly County, although somewhat disabled from an in jury to his hip, is proving himself to be very active on his farm, and very enthusiastic over the meth ods he is using to bring his rough hilly land into economical produc tion, states O. H. Phillips, Coun ty Agent for the State College Extension Service. A visiting farmer was complain ing to Sam about everything go ing wrong, about the poor season last year, his empty corn crib, his empty barn, and several horses to feed, with an exhausted bank ac count. The farmer discovered that Sam's barn was full of something that had a green tinge to it. "Where did you get all that good feed?" asked the visitor. "That is lespedeza hay, the fin est hay I have ever fed and I believe it is the best hay to be had anywhere," remarked Sam. "Come on out to the barn and let me show you something." He opened the stable door and in front of the visitor stood a nice fat horse, almost too fat for spring work. "You see that horse," said Sam, "he gets only five ears of corti per day and the rest of his feed is lespedeza hay. But this is nothing, let me show you in the next stable. Here is an old horse that has not had a thing to eat but lespedeza hay since No vember Ist. No, sir, no corn, no oats, just good lespedeza hay." The visiting farmer remarked, 'This horse looks to be fatter than the other one." "Well," said Sam "If you make friends.with lespe deza, sow lots of seed, make lots of hay, and save Enough seed to sow on every acre of email grain, you will never need to worry about winter feed, and it will en able you to make lots of improve ments around and home that you otherwise couldn't." "Do you really believe all you say about lespedeza?" asked the visitor. "I believe all that and more," replied Sam. r "How about selling me some seed?" remarked the visitor. "No, I have sold afl I have to spare, and all the locajl seed have been sold, so you will-have to get yours from a dealer. ♦ i- SAVE SOYBEAN S£ED BY PLANTING. IN ROWS ( At least half the cpst of soy bean seed may be by plant ing in rows instead of broadcast ing and since these' seed are scarce and high this year* farmers in piedmont and western Carolina should :yiopt this practice this year, advises E. C. Blair, exten sion agronomist for the State Col lege of V Mr. Blair says, "By planting in rows, half the cost of soybean seed may be saved. It takes about one and one-half bushels or nine ty pounds of soybeans to drill an acre, but forty pounds will plant the same acre in rows three feet apart. With the beans costing $3 per bushel, seed to drill an acre will cost $4.50, while if planted in rows the cost of seed will be only $2.00. "Small seeded varieties Laredo and Virginia will require even less seed, aboqt 15 to 30 pounds per acre. ; "For best results, soybeans should be planted in May; they never yield as well when planted late a& after small grain. When planted in rows use the corn planter with a plate th&t will drop the seed from two to three inches apart. Care should be taken not to cover over an dapth or a poor stand will result. Ferti lizer should, be stirred into the soil thoroughly before planting to avoid burning the young roots. needs to be cultivated two or three times during the year." Mr. Blair states that this cul tivation means more work than if the "beans were drilled but the yield of hay will be larger. Then, too, he that soybeans plant ed in rows produce a larger amount of seed. If desired, some of these may be allowed to ma ture and be saved wjth the regu lar soybean harvester or cut and threshed.

Intl. WuUrl N«w«paper Colon, j Grandmother Penderby was out of those sweet-fuced, silvery haired old ladies who seems /to have' stepped straight out of the pages of some Sev enteenth century novel. She ruled by love, but unquestionably, In the old house at Lynbiook. ' Nobody ould ever have dreamed of disobeying or thwarting Grandmother- Penderby. Even "Squire" Penderby, hot-headed and impetuous us he was, had nevfer done that. That was why the quarrel between Mildred, the old lady's granddaughter, and her fiance, Will Hurlbut, was made up so quickly. "Quarreled? Did you say you and Will had quarreled, Mildred?" exclaim- i ed her grandmother that evening, when she had succeeded In forcing an explanation of her grandchild's tear stained face and dejected spirits. "How can a girl quarrel with the man she Is engaged to marry?" "Because I have found out that he is false," sobbed Mildred, unhappily. "He —he —he didn't love me; he has never cared for me at all." "He cared for you enough to offer you his hand and name, Mildred," re pUed her grandmothei^ The old lady 'a cheeks had suddenly grown scarlet. "From the day when j I accepted Mr. Penderby," she said, "my will was his will and his wishes were mine, and I placed the most im- 1 pllclt trust In him." So the quarrel ended, because that evening, when Will came back In a 1 penitent mood, Grandma Penderby | led him straight into Mildred's bou doir, and made Mildred put her hand in Will's, aiid then wisely went out and left them together. And ten minutes later, when they appeared be fore her, as she sat In her chair, knit ting, the faces of both were radiant A wee-: before their marriage Grand mother i-euuei i y, \mo uad been rum maging In what she called her private store room, appeared before Mildred and Will, Hushed and triumphant. In her arms she bore a heavy, old-fash ioned writing desk. "This Is to be one of my wedding presents to you children," she said. "And don't turn up your noses at It. either of you, because my mother thought enough of it to give It to me when I was engaged." Mildred hud often seen the little desk, but instinctively she had re frained from tampering with It. She knew that grandmother valued it highly. When she opened It it was empty, a/id only the faint odor of dead rose leaves betrayed the fact that it had contained anything but dust. "We'll keep—what shall we keep in It, Will?" Mildred usked. "Our love letters," responded Will, promptly. And then u curious thing happened. The whole front of the desk flew open, reveullng a single sheet of paper, cov ered with, faded writing. Will looked at it and then snatched It up and be gan reading. "But I must read it," he exclaimed. "Look at this signature—it Is that of my grandfather, Ebenezer Hurlbut. It may be some long-lost will. But it was no will. It was a letter addressed to Grandmother Penderby, and it ran as follows: "My Dearest Own Elizabeth : "Tour cruel words to me jjpday, though they have sorely wounded me, cannot quench the passion for you that burns In my bosom. So, since you have said that this unhappy mis understanding of ours must end our engagement, since you have forbid me to approach the shrine and altar of my devotion. I shall pluce this within your mother's writing desk, hoping that some Impulse will draw you hith er, to open the little drawer you once showed me, and to find this outpour ing of my soul. Elisabeth, you cannot mean that we must part for ever, that you will bestow your priceless self upon that dullard, Nat Penderby, for when your marriage bells ring out my life will become unbearable to me and I shall end this wretched existence. Without you. life will become Impos sible. "Till time shall end, thine, "EBENEZER HURLBUT. "Jan. 24, 1857." WUI Hurlbut folded up the paper •nd looked at Mildred. Her eyes were moist and her lips were quivering. "It must have lain there unnoticed these fifty years and more," she said. "We mukt not let her know, now." "So." answered Will, and. tearing the paper Into strips, he let them Hut i ter slowly out of the oped window. . "Will," said Mildred, presently, "do yon remember the date of your gimnd ' father's marriage?" -It was In the spring of 1858. I think—lt mut h«Te been, because my 1 father wn born that Christmas." "And grandmother w ,„ married In the summer of 1857. It didn't last long, this desperate passion. Will ?
