Big Ranch to Re Cut Up.
The Malibu ranch near Santa
Monica. Calif., consisting of 18,000
acres, is soon to be subdivided into
home sites. The ranch, which lias
approximately 24 miles of frontage
on the Pacific Ocean in Southern Cali
fornia. is the only original Spanish
land grant of a century and a qtiar
i ter ago remaining intact. It is not
known to whom the King of Spain
granted t'ae land, in 1804, because
the original l grant has long been lost.
Records, however, show that the land
was given to Don Jose Dartolone
Tapin by the Spanish governor in
j 1805. Tapia died in 1828 nnd his
| filthily sold The entire tract in 1848
| for S4OO. It was purchased by Don
I.eon Victor Prudliommc who lost the
ram’s in settlement of a $1.40!) groc
ery bill to Don Matio Jxcller. of Los
I Angeles, in 1857. In 1870 Keller's
heirs sold it to Frederink H. Hinge,
late husband of the present owner
(apd direct*!-. May K. Ringc, for $lO
an acre. The early settlers in the
community branded it “Hinge’s ridic
ulous purchase.’’ But Ringc’s pet vi
sion was that the huge acreage would
become prettily designed home sites.
This vision is now about to be re
alized.

George Washing’s Character Reyealedj
By Penknife Given to Him by Mother J
(From an etching by E. Dunlap. Copyright, 1919, by the Anderson
Art Galleries, Chicago.)
Not the famous hatchet of George
Washington, but a dainty, white
handled penknife reveals better his
character.
So says Dr. Patti F. Bloomhardt,
professor of biography at Wittenberg
College, Springfield, O.
Washington’s father gave tfie
hatchet, as even school children re
member, in February, and George
struck down a choice cherry tree in
the orchard. Later he confessed, nnd
promptly.
But the penknife was given to him
by his motiier. She was so pleased
with the lad's behavior, that she gave
him the bit of line cutlery, caution
ing the young man always to obey
his superiors.
This knife was carried as a tniis
-1 man.
\ It was a part of his personal equip
i ment as general of the Americans who
[ fought for their liberties in the Revo
lutionary War.
At the lowest ebb of the Revolu
tion with a weak Congress failing to
provide even food for his half-clothed
men at Valleff Forge, Washington
once wrote out his resignation.
He struggled with himself. This
i was his greatest battle, says Dr.'

General Knox came into the cabin
which was general headquarters at
the valley and Washington showed
him the resignation as written.
Knox was dumbfounded, and did
not know what to do until his eye
cang'nt the glint of the penknife on
General Washington’s desk.
Knox fynew its story, and without
any utterance, gently pushed the keep
sake under the clenched hands of Gen
eral Washington.
Washington flushed.
Knox said. "You arc always to
obey your superiors. No one has
commanded you to cease leading the
army.’’
Within half an hour the resigna
tion was tossed into the log fire, nnd
the great Washington carried on.
The hatchet showed the truth-stuff
of the boy; the penknife showed the
stability of the man.
The knife should replace the hatch

The knife is among the Washing

J BACK THE GOVERNOR.
j Winston-Salem Journal
| Governor McLean should have the
j support of every law-respeeting man
and woman in North Carolina in his
vigorous stand for law and order
when lie declined to exercu-*e execu
tive clemency in behalf of the mem
ber of the Asheville mob.
The reaction to the Governor’s
wise and courageous decision has
been most encouraging. So far uk we
have seen, the press of the State has
stood as a unit, back of him in this
action.
Even the Newt* and Observer,
which is not always kind to gov
ernors down at Raleigh, takes a day
off to give strong commendation to
Governor McLean for his notion in
this case.
“If lynching is to be ended.” Kays
that paper, “men who take the law
in their hands mu«t be punished
when convicted of the crime of tak
ing the law in their own hands. If,
oven before they begin to serve their
sentence, they should be given special
consideration and special clemency,
all the efforts to prevent lynching
would be set at naught.”
But nowhere has a stronger argu
ment been presented, nor is there
likely to be a stronger one given by
anybody than was presented by the
Governor, himself, in announcing hie
decision on his petition for ceiemen
cy.
“The only way to suppressed
lynching.”- the Governor declared, -is
to let those who engage in it under
stand they will be punished and
punished severely.
“A prisoner in the custody of the
law is entitled to the same protec
tion as is the judge on the bench or
the solicitor who represents the
State in the prosecution.
“No question of mere sentiment
should enter into a ease or this kind
Sentiment should all be upon the
side of the people whose sovereignty
was insulted.” ,
The attorney for the convicted
members of the mob boasts that six
thousand names were signed bo their
petition for clemency. This is all the
more reason why Governor Ale-
Lean should be supported in his
stnnd. It is a!«o good reason why we
should thank our God every day and
every night that we have in Raleigh
a Chief Executive whom the mob
cannot move from the path of duty.
Protect ths Innocent.
Winton-Salem Sentiiml.
“I am sure you will agree with me
that society must exercise the same
diligence in taking care of the inno
cent as in the punishment of the
guilty.”
Those were the words of Governor
McLean in refusing clemency to the
fifteen men of Buncombe county re
cently convicted of mob violence and
is a laudable viewi»oint. Too often
the families of convicts are allowed
to suffer because of the wrongdoings
in which they had no part or
dympthy.
Governor McLean gow the limit
, in insisting that no suffering shall
result of the families of those con
victed in the Asheville case. If the
city and county cannot relieve such
■ suffering at* has been forecast when
the men' begin their sentences, then
the Governor offers state aid.
Too often the punishment of guilty
results in tar more severe punish
ment for the innocent. Take a bread
earner away from the average family
for a few months and there miiAt be
provisions from somewhere. Too
, often it is left to friends and neigh
, bors. Too seldom do officials take
cognizance of the facts.
The county welfare departments,
wheu as ably conducted a« in For
syth county, undoubtedly do much to
assure relief from suffering in the
families of convicts. We understand
that thus work is part of their or
ganized task.
Governor McLean is to be com
mended on his judgment. To have al
lowed those guilty of mob violence
to escape sentences because of effect
upon their families would have been
unfair to society. He has met the
issue fatly and firmly.
A young Washington recently sent
an order to a mail-order house for a
coronet. The money accompanied the
order and a ailver-plated cornet was
duly forwarded. In a few days the
instrument' whb returned, with a let
ter saying that “a silver cornet
wouldn’t do, my music is marked ‘for
brass’.”

kind in the W'orld, was built for the

with. It is built wholly of wood asi

many delicate instruments. •

In regard to buying cotton eeed for

; ferent farmers report to me that they
; have ordered seed cf very highly ad
vertised cotton that will drive away
fear of the boll weevil, make the high
est priced lint possible, and enormous

The Experiment Stations recom
mend that we stick to the known as
well as the tried varieties and recom
mend Mexican and Cleveland in gene
eral and for special soils Cook and
King do well. One of these four
should meet the soil needs of any
farmer in Cabarrus on whatever one
' or more of the 21 soil types he may
’ have on his farm however it would be
: a fine thing if we con id gradually
work to the growing of one variety for
the County.
, If you have good seed of one of
, these varieties and have kept them
, pure at the gin this year, and the
. party to whom you sold your cotton
staple, you are reasonably sure that
| told you it was uniform in length of
i you have a pure variety and should
. reelean and plant the most of your
| crop with them until you find some
thing better and try it out on a few
. acres.
Recleaning won't make the variety
pure and if they are not pure then
• it will be best to buy some good ones.
Never make an important decision
or enter into a big business deal on
