But to the people of her native county of Macon, and of the mountain country, her achieve mcnts are almost inconsequential today to them, the loss is some thing personal, poignant. They re member her, 'of course, as a trail blazer in school work, as an ar dent advocate of progress along all lines, as a stalwart champion of the rights of the weak. They remember her deeds but they grieve at the death of Elizabeth Kelly, the individual. For she was a woman of character and courage. a nersonalitv with a genuine fla vor all its own. Thirty years ago in the days when to sell' one's""vote was not universally considered in the same light it is today she stood before a roomful of primary .school chil dren, and, emphasizing the re mark with a drama of which she was capable, dealared: "If a man tried to buy my vote, I would knock him down !" her lip, curled with scorn. (Who knows the in fluence of that remark in the fight for good citizenship.) The incident was typical. There was no compromise in her make up. Given the occasion, she could and would fight like a man for a cause, for the weak, or for a friend. She possessed to a high degree that - characteristic -so typ ical of the mountain people un swerving loyalty Thou art a God ready to pardon, gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness."

MOORE Judge Moore has so long been a leader in the political, civic and judicial life of this mountain sec tion that his death brings a sense of personal bereavement to the people of all the Iransmontam: ter ritory. Early in his career as i lawyer and political leader of his county, Judge Moore was given honors by his people by election to the -Legislature. There his talents and his popularity were recognized in his election as Speaker of the House. Judge Moore was a sturdy in dividualist in a region where in dependence and self-reliance were regarded as1 cardinal virtues. Yet he, recognized the value of . team work in the upbuilding of Western North Carolina, and his sagacity made him a counsellor whose judg ment was much sought in all pub lic movements. On the Superior Court bench, he discharged his responsibilities with the ability, seriousness and devo tion to the public good that fos tered the people's respect for the law. As a useful citizen in private and public life, Judge Moore will long be remembered by the people of North Carolina. He was one of the last of that generation of leaders in the state who forged their way to prominence and wholesome in fluence by struggle and native abil ity, amidst conditions and circum stances the trying nature of which the young men of today, with all their problems, have little under standing. -THEASHEVJLLE TIMES. - ' jj fJI4f Farm Faced with sham, selfishness, or one who, she felt, stood in the way of progress, her wit and bit ing sarcasm were devastating; it is harmy an exaggeration xo say that her repartee has become a part of the language of Macon POSSESSING a rare combination of admirable '"'(""lid nno J..n I 1 J 1 : 1 - . , . 1 wisjecLJOpeKnownDyer en emies.)

ELIZABETH' KELLY - THE LAST STRAW A 65-year-old New Yorker, near ly blind, out of work and dis couraged, borrowed a nickel from an acquaintance the other day to pay for a subway ride. The nickel the acquaintance gave him happen ed to be a lead slug, but the old man's eyes were too . dim to tell the difference; so he was stunned when a policeman arrested him for dropping it in the cash box. He was taken to a police station and locked up for the night. The police reassured him when he ex plained how it had happened, and told him the judge would undoubt edly let him off, next morning; but apparently what they said didn't comfort him much for when they xame to his cell in themorning they- found he had Jianged himself. You get little stories like this ever so often, these days; stories of littlemisfQrtuneawhich affect lhekyictimsouL-ofall-propor.tion Cows Need Water j THE digestive system of the cow is so arranged that large quantities of water are needed for its proper working. Records show that the average cow will consume about 77 pounds . of water each day. ,. "Many of the ills of the dairy cow may be ascribed to a lack of pure water," says Dr. C. D. -Grin-nells, in charge of daify , investiga tions for the North Carolina Ex periment Station. "This type of animal consumes large quantities of dry roughages and grains and be cause the cow uses coarse feeds made up of plants with hard, tough cell walls, nature has endowed her with an interesting but complicated stomach digestion, .She needs con siderable water to bring about the proper workings of this system. A large cow will secrete about 60 quarts of saliva every twenty-four hours. Water is also essential for rum ination or "cud-chewing" and many times the so-called lost cud is due to a lack of this fluid. This stop ping of rumination is not a dis ease in itself but is a symptom of a number of diseases, Dr. Grinnells says. When the cause of the trouble is removed, the cud will return. Dr. Grinnells points out that cud- chewing is an essential part of the digestive" activities of the cow. When she eats, the food is only slightly - macerated - then : the - food goestohestomachor-paunch where it undergoes a soaking, soft ening or fermentation process, af ter which it is transferred to the honeycomb.

All lespedeza should be sown on small grain in February or March but the time of germi nation of different varieties must determine the exact date of plant jng. The Korean variety germi nates in about two weeks and all other varieties between four and .five weeks. Plantings should be made so as to avoid freezing the young plants.

"I merely want to present Exhibit No. 1," she remarked, "for I am one of the 'emaciated moun taineers' the speaker is referring to." Miss Kelly's wit is known far and wide. . At times it cut deep, but it usually cut where it was needed. She took great delight in holding up sham to scorch ing ridicule. She will be remembered long for her keen humor;' many stories centering around her are of the kind that are handed down from generation to generation. But Miss "T" was far more than an interesting personality. She was a person who did things and did them well. vToJie the educational progress in Macon County and the state. It was she who organized and launched the movement in North Carolina to banish adult illiteracy, and she lent the weight of her influence to many other progressive movements. Her human kindness was .unbounded and her help ful encouragement and .wise advice has lightened the burdens of adversity for many. She contributed un stintingly both of her goods and efforts to relieve suffering and promote the public welfare. The work of the Red Cross in succoring to hundreds of needy families in Macon County is a monument to her en deavors. It would be difficult to measure the loss of so fine a character ; but why attempt to put a yardstick to one's life or bale the depth of the abyss of sorrow' which its passing leaves.

WHETHER or not it pays ta use improved seeds of farm crops can be seen tnom tne results of a recent survey reported by Dr. G. K. Middleton, seed specialist at State college, who says the dif ferences m favor of good seeds are especially striking if the crops concerned are affected regularly by-losses from disease. "We have found that increased acre yields due to the use of cer tified seed will average about 20,6 per cent for corn, 23.5 per cent for wheat, 23.3 per cent for oati, 30 per cent for barley and as high as 74 per cent for Irish potatoes," says Dr. Middleton. "The result secured in recent years by the Experiment Station bear out these figures remarkably well from the purely scientific viewpoint. For in stance, the new strain of Porto t Rico' sweet potato developed by Robert Schmidt has given an in crease of 61 bushels of N. 1 stock over seed potatoes supplied by three different growers. Last year rrlbre . than 1600 growers tried out this new strain and they secured under field conditions an increased yield of 18.S per cent over the potatoes they had been using." of 20 to, 25 gallons.

Her work as a teacher soon at tracted attention throughout the state. Under State Superintendent of Public Instruction J.-'Y. Joyner she led North Carolina's first large campaign in the field of adult il literacy. In recognition of her suc cess in that work she was elected President of the , State Teachers' Association and became one of the editors of The State Teacher. . Miss Kelly all this time had giv en much study to the farm prob lem, and some of her noteworthy service to the state was in that field. ' .'; Her last public positions before ill health intervened was as Chair man of the Macon County Red Cross unit, recognized as one of the best units in the country, and as co-Chairman - of - the- Macon farmers organized for the 5-10 Year Farm Plan in Western North Carolina. This brief sketch of her public service would be wholly inadequate without expression of the sense of personal loss which comes today to those who knew her as a school mate and as a colleague in the edu cational and , agricultural work of North Carolina. She was a lovable woman; a woman of vigorous and liberal mind; one who found hap piness and contentment in'devotion to her friends and in laboring with all her splendid strength for the advancement of North Carolina. j THE ASHEVILLE TIMES. -ADMINISTRATOR'S NOTICE Having qualified as administrator of Henry Vanhook, deceased, . late of Macon County, N.
