Is Tliere Elecfric i; Flat Ijron In YouHHome Mr. Hoover sends his thanks clear from London to the people of Tryon, as well as their hundred million fel low citizens, for observing his re quest about abstaining from wheat eat in jr.. It being harvest time the only restriction now is government flour. The wheatless days he says have enabled this country to feed its allies. In short the wheatless days have not been fruitless. Folks in this vicinity Monday night might almost as well have been at the front, or in Paris or London dur ing an air raid. The vivid lightning might well have been a flare or a bursting bomb; the thunder, the boom of the big guns, the crack of the guns on tank or areoplane. A real big battle couldn't have been much more flashing or noisy. It was a the calm, but a -frfghtfum fofe yei .beenM to g om At as a war measure, as a waste, of food and fuel, the President, in -the exer cise of his constitutional power shoul close the breweries as well as the distilleries. We received an invitation from Mr. James Jackson, Wednesday to take a look over his place. We accepted the invitation, and ' were astonished at the. Variety of products that Mr. Jascson is growing on hi s land. He has quite a good many Niagara grape vines, and while he has only half a crop this year it does not detract from the quality, and we proceeded to fill up on that luscious fruit. He also has some fine peaches and a va riety of garden vegetables. But in one spot we imagined that we had been transported suddenly to western Kentucky, for we saw some of the finest dark tobacco growing that it the nervous Tho light from a brief but brilliant fire to the northeast of Tryon 10 o'clock Sunday night gave those who saw it a guessing contest as .to its whatness and whereness. These var ied from a barn to a big brush heap, the Tryon Graded School, The Lynn hosiery mill the Columbus court house and a possible residence the further side of Pacolet. It turned out to be a residence building owned by a Mr. Smith, near Lynn. In spite of the unusual cold snaps last winter which cut back so many trees, the Tryon peach crop this season has been one of its best. They seldom look so handsome or taste so luscious. But for the lack of spray ing facilities they, would" have been even more abundant. A good many were lost by insect and blight. 'Not withstanding, Tryon paches are be ginning to blush at finding them selves famous as its grapes are. They are already appearing on the market. One of our exchanges of last week gives an account of a locomotive or a passenger train on the Murphy branch running into a Ford, with the result that every step on one whole side of the train was torn off, while all the damage done the Fordtobrek one spoke in a front wheel. We fail-' ed to learn whether the party who wrote the story is in the pay of the fl'hertising department of the Fdrd company or not. If he isn't-he shoule be, . Recruits have quite got ovr the cat-le.ss indifference they ' at first felt about Uncle Sam's call to the colors. They've found out that he means busin'ess, and when he says "come" they'd better "cometh" with out delay. A- youth from the back country who started to take the 'troop train here Friday, arrived an hour oi more late, out of breath and well splashed with mud. His wagon had broken down, and he pushed ahead or. foot. Mr. Stone told him not to wor ry as he would make it all right with Lncle Sam. In spito of threats of rain, the Hon. Richard Carroll, the colored orator. 1acvd a good sized audience both white and black, on the Oak Hall grounds Friday evening. They all ab'reed that they were rewarded for the risk they ran of a soaking. He an entertaining rather than an elo quent speaker; a comedian quite as ueh as an orator; not eriven to high yghts or hifalutin; a portly rathr l lan a stately presence.

A great many reports have been received of the , damage done the wheat this year by the Hessian fly. This is one more crime to lay against Germany, as it is said it was brought to this country during the revolution ary days by the hired Hessians. It s very remarkable tnat almost an the pests with which we are today battling against in this country are h foreign extraction and not a native product. The State Board of Agn- - . . m . t VT .1 liltnre in sneakme ot tne nessian fly says it is strongly urged that all idle wheat stubble land be plowed deeply before the end of August so that the flies cannot develop, inese flies will emerge in the fall and lay their eggs upon whatever wheat is up at that time, therefore, much can be done to lessen the fall brood by plow ing under the old stubble to a depth of four to six inches. Also not to plant wheat until late in the fall. In Polk county from October 15th to October 25th. yy g PATRIOTIC GATHERING.
