Friday. Skptk.mbkr 20. 1901. If a stock company wan formed here for the purpose of building a roller mill it would be a great in ducement to the farmers to raise wheat. A good roller and grist mil) here would pay. Why not build one? Knowing that Tim Hkuai.d is reud each week by a great many farmers we have decided to de vote one or two columns each week, beginning with next issue, to Farm Items. These columns will be edited with cure, and no pains will be spared to make them beneficial to our farmer readers. A comparison of the trials of Czolgosz, the assassin of McKin ley, and Guiteau, the assassin of (iartield, shows a striking con trast . The trial of Guiteau lasted over three months, and five months more elapsed before the wretch was executed on .1 line .'10, 1SS2. Tlie trial ot Czolgoszlasted two days. No undue haste has been taken, yet the majesty of the law has been maintained and a fair trial has been given the anarchist who so suddenly threw the nation in mourning. Such speedy trials will do much to wards lesseningcriine and should be the rule and not t heexception. Every farmer should endeavor to raise his supplies at home. Owing to the poor crop through out the country corn is going to be high next year. The short cotton crop is going to leave the farmer in not a very good con dition for another year. Still he will have to have flour and we advise our people to prepaije to lessen the expense of breadstuffs next year by sowing wheat. If the farmer will raise his wheat at home hisexpenses will be lessened. There are many farmers in this county who have already been raising enough wheat for home consumption, and there is no reason why many more should not raise wheat. Educational Day at Kenly Academy.

Congressman Pou Tells Ihe Herald SomctDinjr ol the Touching Scene at the President's Old Home. Congressman I'ou returned from Washington Friday night. He went to Canton with about ? HI members of the House of Rep resentatives. The train from Washington was divided into live sections, one carried the President and his Cabinet and .1 udges of the Supreme Court, another the Diplomatic Corps, another the United States Sen ate, another the army and navy officers and uuother the House of Representatives. '?The scene at Canton is never to be forgotten," said Mr. Pou. "The main street for more than a mile was packed with human ity, and for a time all traffic over that stseet was suspended. It; was estimated that more than a hundred thousand people were in the city. It is a very prettv town somewhat larger than Ral eigh with wide streets and pretty lawns. I walked by the Presi dent's modest but comfortable home. It was about like one of our best residences in Smithtield with a beautiful lawn. I saw the wide veranda from which Presi dent McKinley addressed thous ands of visitors in 1890. 1 was '.old that after the election in 1890 not a blade of grass was left growing on his green lawn. "Standing on the sidewalk of the late President's home I saw an old man evideutly loath to leave the spot. I asked him if lie was a resident of the town, and ;f i.,. i .1... i) u ii in; Mirn nit* i irniuriiu. lit; if ! plied that he had known Mr. Mc kinley since his early manhood. | tie said that only a few weeks I ago the President was in Canton 1 going about shaking hands with his friends unattended by any joue, and that he heard the Presi dent express his delight at the prospect of returning to his old home at the expiration of his term. "At the church the services were simple but impressive in the ex treme. "Lead, Kindly Light,") and "Nearer, my Cod to Thee" were rendered by a quartett of voices. The beautiful prayer of the Bishop brought tears to many an eye. "And so beneath a pyramid of flowers our good president was laid away. In life he wrought well. llis death was glorious, and none the less gloi i <us will be the influence, for all bitterness bet ween the sections is buried, never to be resurrected, I hope." j Let St Alone. Scott's Emulsion is not a good medicine for fat folks. We have never tried giving it to a real fat person. We don't dare. You see Scott's Emul sion builds new flesh. Fat people don't want it. Strong I people don't need it. But if you are thin Scott's Emulsion is the medicine for vou. It doesn't tire you out. There is no strain. The work is all natural and easy. You lust take the medicine and! that's all there is to it. The next thing you know j you feel better?you eat better I ?and you weigh more. It is \ quiet worker. Send for fiee sample.
