BORN' AFTER MOTHER HAD BEEN BURIED BhsESTv o * ? 'lit Strange Story of Birth Of Rev. Coli* 111) Lindsay In Scotland County [ (Correspondence of Lumberton Kobsonian.) BennettaviUe, S. C., Nov. 14? Durg' ing the past? summer, while on a JJ nacnth's vacation, I visited Scotland ' gf county, N. C., and met many of the jtatf good sturdy Scotch people in that f county. I spent three or four days ever in that Scotch section as I have qnite a number of relatives residing f in Laurinhurg, the county seat, also many who live In the country. During my visit there I visited the Stewartaville old cemetery, five miles northeast of Laurinbufg. This cemetery is in the center of a large Scotch settlement. It contains five acres enclosed with stone post and iron railing. The first body buried a$ in this old cemetery was in 1774. He was a Revolutionary soldier who died on a march in that community, and was laid to rest py those Scotch patriots. Since then hundreds of 'Maes have been buried in that sacred and hallowed habitation of the dead. James Chishom, who was born in the Isle of Syke, Scotland, came to-America in 1803. His body sleeps in this cemetery. Hugh McLaurin came to North Carolina is 1790 from Appiiv Argyle, Scotland. He also is burict'i in this cemetery, jj^krr -.iNow I am going to write some_ WiSp thing romantic, but the truthfulness of the statement is vouched for bv many rename persons in Scotland i runty. Rev. Colin Lindsay was born in Scotland. He became a Presbyterian minister, and came to America more than a century ago. He served old Smyrna and Red BiutT Presbyterian churches, the latter in Marlboro,' county, S. C Rev. Colin Lindsay it, buried in old Stewartsvdlle cemetery. I Mr. Maxcy John a prcminent ottor-1 l ney and Christian gentleman who ; lives in Liaurinburg, N. C., told me -. that his grandmother who wits a McRae, bad told him that she often heard Rev. Lindsay preach and had heard hin relate from the pulpit the strange incident aboutto be related. Recently I had a conversation with Mr. Lindsay's grandson, who also vouched for the truthfulness cf the statement, as he had -often heard his mother speak -of it. /TTTTt- Colin Lindsay was born in f-o:\danS his mother died, or was "" "supposed to ha dead. She was buried with mtich jewelry on her finders and person. The night after her bur. ^ial two grave.robbers visited the cemetery, disinterred her body. Her fingers was swollen, they attempted to amputate her finger in order to remove the valuable rings. This caused a reaction, the blood began to circulate, Mrs. Lindsay awoke, recognised the two robbers , spoke to them. They.fainted: They knew- that it was , a capital offence in Scotland to rob J a grave. Mrs. Lindsay toid them that she knew them both but if they would accompany her to her home * that she would never divulge their f . names. Only one went home with her. The other was unable to walk. She went toher home, awoke the as? tonished and frightened family, an! for many years lived happily with ' ,h?r husband; and she nver told the j names of- the grave robbers. Colin Lindsay was born after this incident, was educated in Scotland and came to America, where he preached for irytny years/ .Thijjtr st?ty.

He has a shearing machine and puts his wool up hi nice shape for market. Mr. Hendricks reports that he uses the best of n$anagement ptracticds and has made money consistently each year. In 1922, Bunyon became a charter member of the first Jersey calf club to be organized in the South. He bought a three months old calf for $25 and was offered $85 for her when not quite one year old. He sold one calf for $100 at the recent sale of Jersey cattle in Hickory. Bunyon has been a member of the corn ami cotton clubs for the part four years and has made as much as 106.6 bushels of corn per acre at a cost of 27.9 cents a bushel. He has produced 2101.6 pounds of seed cotton on an acre which is double the .average yield for the county. Mr. Hendricks says: " He takes great interest in his work and T am expecting him to make an outstanding farmer in his county in a few years:" z NEW FARM CLUB MAKES MONEY FOR MEMBERS o Raleigh, N. C., Dec. 3.?A new farm, club begun first in Buncombe County has proved to be a profitable project for those boys taking part in it this years, reports L. R. Harrill, assistant county agent for that county. At a recent sale of Hereford -.cattle three club calves were sold for an average price of ?103.33 1-2 per head. The highest price paid for any animal in the sale was for a calf owned and cared for by Hubert Clapp of Swannsnoa, .son of the superintendent of the Mountain Branch Station. In reporting IhiB, Mr. Harrill says: "These calves were placed with the club toys on the 13th of last April. Tha BiltmOro-Oteen bank leaned lis the money to buy them. The hoy; tfho purchased calves grow tbem primarily fcr this sale and the animals clearly demonstrated that they were properly fed and fitted for the occasion. They were easily the best animals in the sale as shown by th" fact that they averaged $20 more per head than the average for the other animala. This was in suite of the fact that there were four cows with calves at foot offered at the same time." Mr. Harrill's Baby Beef ciub has proved a success in every way. Financially the boys made a gross profit of $115 on the three animals. Hubert Clapp made a gross profit of $50 in seven months: Morgan Ashworth made $35 and Oliver A lex an . der made $20. It.is'felt by the agricultural authorities of the State. College and Department of Agriculture that the financial success of these young club members will make it possible to stimulate greater interest in Baby Beef clubs ii\ western North Carolina next year. There is a great need for better sires to head the beef cattle herds cf that section and with this interest- on the part of the young people, beef cattle production appears to again be started on the road to success as a farm -project in the mountain territory.
