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.

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

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.
