To the Editor of The Observer: The King's Mountain centennial has come and has gone! In common with the many thousands of deeply interest ed spectators who witnessed it, I am prepared to say it was a success wor thy of the cause and the occasion it represented. It is not my purpose to enter upon a history of the King's Mountain battle, and the many thrill ing incidents connected therewith, but simply to point out one or two omis sions and erroneous statements which transpired during the centennial exer cises. It will be recollected by those who heard the speaking on centennial day that Col. Coward, president of the as sociation, called attention to the pres ence of Mrs. Dickson, -"the only living child of any of the soldiers who fought on that day." This erroneous statement is repeated in Tele Observer of Octo ber 9, and by other papers copying from it. Now, it so happened that the writer went to the centennial, accompanied by Capt A. E. Forney, a son of Major Abrajn Forney, who gallantly partici pated in the brilliant victory achieved at King's Mountain. During the seve ral days of the centennial celebration, Capt Forney was frequently seen pointing out to numerous persons the movements of the different colonels in surrounding the mountain, closing up on the enemy, their final capture, and last, though not least, the particular spot, or "bull pen," as he bumorously styled it, where the prisoners British and Tories were huddled together and carefully guarded during the night (wonder if the prisoners that night slept much and had pleasant dreams!). Among the prisoners, 'Capt: Forney states his father recognized one of his nitrMinr Simnn wc7r hn in thd early part of the war, had aoted with the Whigs, but shortly before the Ring's Mountain battle was over-persuaded by some of his Tory friends to join the royal forces. At the court martial which held next day, when thirty of the Tories were condemned to be hung. Major Forney interceded for his neighbor, .who promised that in the future he would act with the Whigs.5 True to his promise. Hager afterwards joined the Whigs, and marched to the battle of Guilford,- where he performed a soldier's duty. ' Again, the grave near the speaker's stand, pointed out as being that of Feis guson, Capt Forney says is no,t perfect. He says his father frequently stated in hirpreqehat ergoson was buried neAf her Urancn, and that he assisted in digging the grave. It has been asserted by more 'than one hero of this battle, 3 transmitted to us by their descendants that th'ere! was a great scarcity of mw rial implements, Ecavat of suffi ciet4eRthfoy a grave on the rugged mountain itseir was iouno 10 oe exceed ingly difficult, and hence a spot near the branch, in more yielding soil, was cho-. sen. or iurtner particulars or ue military services of Major Abrara, IJor- ney, see Hunter's ketcea o We84ep1 tled in the South Point neighborhood of i Gaston county, was assistant .Sur- f eon at the battle of King's Mountain, le still has1 four sons living,, two o South PoinW and Major Augustus Mo- Of 4Jncolnton aged about 85 And again; joun muu, hu wu uu wnrthv citizen of Newton, the county seat of Catawba county, is a son of John Wilfong; who:participatea in tne Darif fif Miner's Mountain.

It is unfortunate, too, that these counties, which sent to the battle field some of their bravest soldiers, were nearly ignored by the association in making its appointments. The names of the heroes inscribed on the head stone near the branch Chronicle, Mat tock. Eabb, and Boyd were all from old Lincoln. But let me say, in conclu sion, that thg centennial of the King's Mountain bjpttle was a grand success, and may the centennial or 1980 be at tended wih the same degree? 'of order, patriotism and good feeling! C. Xb H. tieiiklble View on Farming-. Baltimore Sun. Mr. Robert Bruce, of Great Smeaton, Yorkshire, was awarded, in the early part of last month, the highest prize offered for an essay on the subject of "How Farming can be Made to Pay in Great Britain. Mr. Bruce was the bet ter equipped for a discussion of this sub ject from the fact that he had just returned from a visit to the United States, where he had made himself ac quainted with our "great resources and go-ahead farmers." As the result of his investigations he is "not at all de spondent," he says, "as to the future of British farming" if the antiquated land laws and the restrictions imposed upon tenant farmers are done away with. But to be successful the system of farming at present in vogue must be radically, changed. The course laid down by him for the British farmer to pursue, as a means of deriving a profit from his soil, notwithstanding he has to compete with the great West in the matter of breadstuff and provisions is so entirely aDDlicable to our own farm ers in the older Atlantic States, who al so suffer from Western competition, that it is well worth noting. Without coins into the reasons he presents for the advice he gives, we reproduce the four rules ne lavs down ror maing tne occupation of farming profitable. These are: "Firstly, by greater attention to the cultivation of the soil, working more as the gardeners do. in thorough man ner. Greater attention must also be given to tne quality of the different seeds sown, making sure that the best obtainable are put in the soil, and that the kind sown suits the soil and cli mate. "Secondly, by greater attention to the live stocK kept, making determined: ef forts to keep only stock of good quality, and breeding more from good sires; keeping them better and more comfor table, and getting them ready for the butcher at an early age. "Thirdly, by paying greater attention to dairy produce, making sure tnat tne most is made of it, and that, what is made is of the best quality. "Fourthly, by greater attention to so called little things, such as fruit, poul try and bees. Every one of these rules are as de serving to be followed by our farmers of the seaboard States as by those of Great Britain. Putting roughly the cost of transporting grain from the far West to Baltimore at 50 cents per 100 SDunds the present rates from Kansas ity being 47 cents per -100 pounds for corn and 52 cents for wheat they start with a margin of 80 cents per bushel in their favor. With such tillage as Mr. Bruce recommends it would not be dif ficult to raise at least 30 bushels of wheat to the acre, the largest product of the great Dakota farms does not ex ceed 25 bushels to the acre. The differ ence, therefore, under such cultivation to the Eastern farmer would be saving Of 30 cents per bushel in transportation, and an increase of 5 bushels in the yield per acre, with other crops in proportion. He has also in his favor a monopoly of the market for hay and wheat, rye and oat straw, which will not bear trans portation for long distances. The soil that will bring 30 bushels of wheat to the acre will produce, in a fair season, at least two tons of timothy, with the promise of a similar crop from the same field for several years in succession. It is doubtful whether it will pay, with us, to raise live stock for market; but there U always a ready sale for dairy produce, and at high prices if it is of the best quality. Finally as Mr. Bruce points out, the profits of a farm may becon- siderably increased "by Boater atten tion to little things," and he cites as things, and he cites as among these, "fruit, poultry and bees." On these heads he remarks : "If we con sider the immense amount of money annually paid to foreigners" outsiders, we might more properly say, as far as we are concerned "for butter, cheese, ggs and fowls, and then reflect that oar. own farmers could easily supply all he people's wants, we at once see there kisj a profit to farmers here which slips, year by year, through tneir nanos un noticed. All this is sa true that we commend it to tb thoughtful attention of those f armara who complain of West- t em, competition, and who have failed to aisoover tnat tney nave many sources or profit with which the West cannot com pete, and that, even in respect to West ern grain, they have, under any circum stances, a' difference of ao cents per bushel in their fayo, t JWfcat lt3Heaua . - MIL.
