Three large barns were totally destroy-^ ed in the Georgia county and two | would be a perfect bams of tobacco were consumed Having an engagement to see our worthy Superintendent of school oa special business 23rd inst, he gave Jme a very cordial Invitation Jto attend the meeting of the boy s com club of Alamance County. I went, I saw/1 heard, and was fully convinced that some of our farmers boys are not only engaged in, but greatly interested in a good and great work. Sixteen of the thlrtv-nine boys whose names are enrolled on the boy’s com club list were present and each one received a prize for his yield of corn thii year from one specially prepaied acre of land. The first prize for tlie greatest jield which was alMut sixty-five bushels, was awarded to Mr. Grant McBane’s son. Tht second prize went t& Mr. ;^n Homewood and the third I believe, to Mr. Royzelle Horna day. The smg^Uest bc^ was the son of Mr. J. C. McAdams of Elbn College. I would judice the boy to beabout twelve years old. He r^d from written manuscript to me that of prepiaring and cultivating his acre of com* which was very interesting and merited applause. Hon, R. W. Scott ha1 two sons in th^^ontest, each f whoia received a prize. Mr. Scott made an excellent talk to the boys. It was practical and chftck full of good sense all the way through except when be s^mingly tried to throw off on his good wife just a little by say ing She was inclined to folio the fashions of the day a little beyond his judgment of the limit line, and by referring to her dis like to geese, but said she firall y withdrrw her objections and en dorsed his original ideas of the goose question. Now-»Idonot like to take issue with my friend Scott but my opinion is that Mrs. Scott had some trouble with that featherly tribe and had a perfect right to object to the tresps^sing qharacteristics of those geese, especially when they assumed the privilege of visiting her garden. I remember some very excellent articles she wrote *for the Pro gressive Farmers, especially the one about her garden how she managed to get her plans carried out in detail and the results that followed. I wont tell any more on my friend Scott this time. But if I ever hear himattempt to go back on woman—any wojpc^n even just a little, I shall wade right in and tel! the wholf§ story. He said woman suffrage was certainly coming but hoped he would be away when she (it) came. He made one statement that was especiallys interestiags tome. Hesadd he raised goats and found them to be profitable, but also found it difficult to sell goat meat at any of the meat markets without representing it as mutton, and rather than do this he decided He would build up a home market which he found to be profitable. My friend has six or eight boys and perhaps an equal number of good looking ^Is and that is^ why he, in a jocular vein, said he had a home market for about all he could not sell. I almost enevry my friend. If I had fifteen or twenty healthy boys and about the same number of healthy good looking girls, boys and girls ranging in age from one to twenty years, it delight to me to live on the farm, and every by fire across the Florida State]boy would become a member of line, 20 miles distant. The loss; the corn club as soon as he got susteined in the latter state is | old enough and every girl a not ^nown. member of the tomato club. The All of the tobacco barns de-1 best part of it all would be the stroyed were owned by members ' quanitiesj of good rations we of an association formed three j would have to eat at home, and years ago by large growers to | and sell only what w^e did not hold the tobacco until a suitable j want to eat. If I had as big an price was offered for it by man- office as that I woold.never go on ufacturers. At the meeting today it was ^id that the tobacco growers hostile to the association were re sponsible for the alleged incend iary fires. At the time the bams were destroyed watchmen were stationed in their vidnity. Since the fires, it is stated, none of the watchmen have been seen. Evidence showing that all of the barns were destroy^ by a! mounted body of night Hders is said to have been foiind and de tectives now are working on the case. AH tobacco barns in. this vicinity are being heavily gvisafd- ed.

My friend Scott is not only a model farmer but a modd man in many resTOcts. If every young man could fully imbibe his tical ideas Of making lifc^ worth while there would not be ^ many bachelor men and bachielor maids as there are in the couttti^, and when two betame one they - would not be content alWayls ’to remain one. But I sts^dbUt tieill some- thing altout the boy’s dbb and got off on a side line not .vfeiy pertinent to the qiiestioii; aind shall hate to ^ye it to some 6n6 else to tell the reail coin story^ My friend Johnson got my mind: oft the subject a little bysaying he had strange suspicious about my attending that com club meeting and thought perhaps my object was to try to put up the price of com. But I tried to con vince him that it was not nay business^; to t^ to pat vip tl is price of anything right now. He asked some of the quTOrast qu^ tibris you ever heard. He ought not to bother me when I go to mor^ of his p^duliar until after iie eats his /Thftnks-^ giving di.'iner and bay be he will quiet down aEbsr thistt.^ ■ NowSmjmused all this dei^es- E)n and I shall have to get iMck Sion and i snail have tP to my originial subject thei^ best | way I can. I want to sajp" that i the com club business emlmeed progressive ideas all righ'^; and if the boys keep on like "they ■ have started it will not be many years until we will have a large liumber of pro^gressive practical farmers in thte.county. And^ bur pretty girls what about them—qiir tom ato club girls? Why were the: not at the ineetang and why di they n ot get their pti^^ the aame time the boys got theira. ^ The meeting of > the girl's tpmato club was held spme week^ ag^:; when their prizes’were awarded. I be lieve in the 'bd-edfi6atidhal, the co-working a;hd alto the e>(^joy^ meht ideas.

I have to enter my strong pro test against something he said about Alamance County but have not time 'to refer to them now, Existing conditions w0nt bear him out in making this birth place of civil liberty ais good a place as he resresented it to be. Mr. Schanb’s speech was practi cal and helpful to the boyS. He emph^ized the importance of reducing the cost of growing: a bushel of com SU9I well as increas ing the yield in busheb per acre. Superintendent Robertson gave the boys Some words of encoura^ ment, and insisted on a strict adherence to the rules by which eaeh member of the corn club is my friend Jt(o:bertsdh that fellow who did hot get his Sympathy on time—tod short a notiw for him .to go to ;churc that day.
