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. I believe every
I had heard something
years ago, but until
Hpf iccently T obtained facts'and data
which are indisputable ?nj csnoot be
Hkkat,?4ntroverscd.
^E-. This is a piece nf history which
should be preserved and parteuate<i,
HL. therefore I am sending it for publiH
atien.

I ;w of the best pure bred rams In the
I State and a careful account of exact,
ly what the sheep have Coet Bunyon
since that time shows that he has
made a net profit of <581.90.
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.

influence of this campaign will be
felt over the whole State ami that
soon North Carolina will become
known as a place of "Beautiful homes

homes are lighted, modern
outhouses built, crop yields increased,
boys and girls trained into leaders
and people work together for the comI

the home and farm agents of the

Tom Tarheel says: Tho farmer who
docs not study his business is like
the prehistoric animal which could
not adopt himself to changing conditions
and' life passed by him. Standing
is stagnation.
