POLENTA NEWS. The cold weather hue greatly retarded gardening. Preaching at Oakland next Sunday morning by the pastor, Kev. It. W. Hines. Mr. Claud Stephenson, better known an "Old Sol," passed by one day this week on his way to the metropolis of Johnston on a business trip. Typo witnessed the other day a dog with his throat cut from ear to ear, alive. His windpi|te was entirely severed. A few stiches and the canine still lives, and the indications are the dog will get well. Some of our farmers who plant ed corn so early are now doing the work over, and it is feared many more will have to follow suit. Corn planted in March of Jate years amounts to very little; the springs are too late for such early planting. The grain will surely rot in the ground. Dr. James Edmundson, of Ked -Springs, formerly of this section, Ints recently had a severe spell of sickness, his malady lieing in the form of peretinitis. lie is now in Richmond, Va., under the medi cal skill of that noted physician, Stewart Mctluire. All of his friends, and they are many, hojte for his speedy recovery. The township Sunday School Convention at Elizabeth last Sunday was a success. Several speeches on the Sunday School work was made by Kev. Mr. Cot ten, Messrs. Millard Turner, Dr. E. N. liookei and President of the township, Mr. B. W. Young, all of which were of a high order, and will stimulate a deeper inter est in the work. The Polenta baseball club and the Selma club will cross bate on the Polenta club's grounds on the 11th of May. Our boys, though not professionals, will play a good game, provided they practice before the game comes off _ If they expect to defeat the crack team of Selma it is abso lutely necessary that they do a j good deal of practicing. It is the general sentiment in this section that our county in the late legislature was well rep resented. The services rendered by our Senator, A. K. Smith, is especially commended. He was ever on the alert and was at his* post continuously throughout the session looking cut for the intere<tof his constituents. He deserves another term in that body. Mr. (leorge liridgers, of tin LeMay section, died hist Friday evening, aged about fifty years. He had suffered for several years with that diead disease, con sumption. Consequently liis de mise was not unexpected. He was an exemplary citizen and bad hosts of friends who, with his brothers and sisters and other relatives, mourn his loss, lie was an ardent Democrat and a most excellent all round man. Peace to his ashes. Typo. The New Cotton Crop. PatiapIo fpnm nil jrxreroio knnnob r"' "? "" ea and many correspondents of it. G. Dun & Co. in the cotton belt indicate that cold weather, and in most sections incessant rains, have delayed planting for the new cotton crop. The season is about two weeks late. Acre age will exceed last year, though cancellation of some early orders for fertilizers show that the in- ? crease in acreage will not be as' large as the higher price for cot-', ton prevailing earlier in the year seemed to justify. Sales of* fer tilizers have been far in excess of last year, and there will be larger use everywhere. In the Atlantic coast States rains have been very heavy, and in some places farm 1 work was wholly susfiended. There is much difficulty in obtain nig labor, hands being fully em ployed in commercial and indus trial lines at higher w ages. One . estimate is made that on account i of higher wages for farm hands, i an increase in the cost of fertili- j acrs and of many food products, the cotton crop this year will -cost at least one-eighth more to raise and gather than last year. Conditions are much the same in everv section of the South. In the Southwest a considerable in crease in acreage is reported, and lands put down in winter grain destroyed by insects will be rv plunted in cotton. Georgia cot ton mills are running full time, but in other sections of the South there has been considerable cur tailment of production. A num ber of new mills are in course of erection, notably in Tennessee ? ( Dun's lie view. < I SELMA NEWS. I)r. J. R Person, Jr., left for New York last Sunday. Mrs. L. C. Orrell and Miss May have returned to Selma from Chester, Va. Miss Margaret Long, of Rox boro, N. C.,is visiting Miss Kudo ra Laurinda Vick. Misses Emma Hoe and Daisy Kdgerton, of Kenly, are visiting Mrs. W. H. Fields. Miss Fannie McKoy, of Man ! ehester, N. C., is the guest of Miss Margaret Ktheredge. Mr. lx)omis D. Debnam and little son were in town Sunday, the guests of Mr. C. \V. Richard son. Messrs. M. C. Winston and N. E. Kdgerton have gone to Nor folk, Va., in the interest of the oil mills. Mr. G. P. Hopkins and family have moved to l'ort Norfolk, Va. Also Mr. and Mrs. K. G. Renfrow have moved there. They were exellpnt citizens and we regret ex ceedingly to see them go. Mr. Savage, of Sinithfield, has the contract todothe brick work on the store of the Selma Manu facturing Co. He began work last Monday with a good force of hands and is making good head way. The Hoard of Trustees of the Selma Graded Schools met a few days ago and organized by elect ing M. C. Winston chairman and H.J. Noble secretary. They de cided to meet on the first Tuesday j night in June next, when a super intendent will be elected and one male and three female teach ers for the white school. The! teachers for the colored school will be elected later. Applica tions for the position of superin tendent and teachers should be sent to the secretary. Mr. Harden Brown, a respected citizen of Oneals, but living only four miles from Selma, was found dead in his bed about sun rise Wednesday morning. It is thought apoplexy or paralysis caused his death, as he has had two strokes of paralysis before Wednesday morning Mrs. Brown had risen and gone to the kitchen with her daughters to get break fast ready. Oneof the daughters went to call him to breakfast, finding him dead. Mr. Brown was a member of the Primitive Baptist church at Beulah. He was a good citizen and on honest man. Mr. John W. Harris, one of the Southern Railway's most trusted engineers, died at his home here Tuesday morning of pneumonia. He lea ves a wife and four small children. He was a kind and affectionate husband and father. He will be missed by all. Mr. Harris was a tall, fine looking man?the picture of health; but death loves a shining mark, so he fell. He was only forty years of | age?just in his prime. Mr. Har ris was regarded as one of the most fearless and fastest running engineers on the road, but not reckless. Was always on the lookout for danger. His last words were, "I'vegottwenty-four for Greensboro," thinking he was 011 his engine, and meaning he had twenty-four cars for Greensboro. May our Father in heaven shield and defend the widow and or phans. He was buried in our cemetery Wednesday afternoon, Rev. Mr. McEeod officiating. Geo. J. Freeland, T. V.Owens, I>. B. Morton, A. R. Ellington, Hen-' rv Holt and C. M. Bobbitt were tbe pall bearers?All his old friends, and the first four were brother engineers, the other two conductors. Skin troubles, cuts, burns, scalds and chafing quickly heal bv the use of DeWitt's Witch j Hazel Salve. It is imitated. Be sure you get DeWitt's. J. K. | I>edbetter, Hare & Son, Hood Bros. _______ There was a heavy snowfall at \sheville, Friday night. Saturday and Saturday night. The snow melted fast but about two inches lay on the ground.
