Sheriff Eagan left early Mon day morning, taking with him two convicts from the last term of court Hill Presnell to the chain gang for four months, con victed of forgery, and Mrs. Jane Bennett, who plead guilty of murder in the second degree for the killing of Lonzo Hardin, and given 15 years in the peniten tiary. On Friday evening last His Honor, Judge Councill, sentenced to death in the electric chair with in the penitentiary walls in the city of Raleigh, on the 12th day of July, 1910, William Baldwin, convicted for the murder of Po liceman Miller. As the case had been appealed, the court deferred the day of execution as it will be impossible to get a hearing in the Supreme court before spring cr summer. The civil case, Bryan vs. Cowels, that was being tried when we went to press last week, was given to the jury at 4, p. m. Friday, and Saturday morning a verdict was rendered in favor of the plaintiff, allowing him the sum of o,000. i his is the sec ond time this case has been dis posed of in this court, Mr. Bryan winning in each instance, but Congressman Cowels possessing to a large degree the idea of never giving up as long as there is a ghost of a chance for success has appealed the case to the Su preme court, still hoping to be granted another hearing. Thcmas A. Wakefield, of the Southern Railway, will be pleased to learn that he was married on the 23rd, to Miss Maude Lillian Bishop of Asheville. Other Caldwell Items. Lenoir Topic. September 29th. There was a pretty heavy frost yesterday morning and the ther memoter registered 34,. this be ing the coldest weather we have had, this fall. It appears that practically no damage to vege tation was done. Caldwell is one of the counties in North Carolina that is free from pellagra. A prominent Le noir doctor, in conversation with a Tonic man. said "there is no case of pellagra in this county." and we all eat lots of corn bread, too. It is reported that Mr. John Greene, of Blowing Rock, had on exhibit at the World's Fair at Seattle some fine apples which took first prize of $1,000, the specimens being the largest at the fair. His apples also took prizes at the State Fair. The construction of the ma cadam road from Lenoir to Blow ing Rock will mark the begin ning of a fine system of roads thoroughout this section of the State. It has been suggested that the Yadkin Valley people will probably join in the propo sition te build a branclvroad ex tending several miles down the river from Patterson. side of Morgan street adjoning the residence of Dr. Josh Beam there is a strip of meadow land, the property of Mr. C. A. Washburn. Well, Mr. Washburn is convert ing that meadow into desirable building lots. With a force of hands he is scraping off the top of the hill just beyond and drag ging it down to the meadow and will soon have some valuable solid terra firma. Mr. Abe McSwain, the bright and energetic son of Monroe Mc Swain, was happily married last Sunday evening at 2:30 o'clock to Miss Amanda Barrett, the charming daughter of Berry Barrett, of No. 5 township. 22 buggies drove with him to the home of Sylvanus Gardner, Esq., where a large crowd had already gathered to witness the happy event.

Smith, living two and a half miles east of Lenoir, has for the last several years kept three milk cows. For the last five and two thirds years she has kept an account of the butter sold from these three cows and it amounts to something over 3500 pounds; and remember these are just ordinary cows, and that they have not given milk all the time, not by several months each year; neither does this include the but ter used on her own table, nor the value of the buttermilk. Mrs. Smith estimates that the three cows have given at least 1000 gallons of milk each year. The milk sold here in Lenoir would have paid her from $200 to $250 per year. The manui'e and the increase of cattle just about pay for the feed of the cows, and there is no expense at least six months in the year. So much f jr keeping three head of cattle. Mrs. Smith has also kept an account of the eggs sold from fourteen hens for the last eight ! months and she finds she has re- j ceived $21, $1.50 from each hen, and she has the fourteen hens yet. Of course this does not look very large and it is not, but it shows something to any person w'io wants to investigate. Mr. J. C. Price, who lives at Rocky Knob, on the southern slope of the Blue Ridge, was in Lenoir Thursday with a load of the finest apples we have seen on the market this year. They .vere clean and well assorted. Mr. Price lives near Mr. John Green, who took first prize on apples at Spokane, Washington, last year. Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Bean cele brated their thirtieth wedding a niversary last Saturday at their home in Lenoir, by having all their children and a host of friends to dine with them. The many friends of Capt. Catawba. Newton Enterprise, September 30th. People who went to Chapel campmeeting Sunday are lavish in their praises of the good road working that has been done on the west side of the river. The Jacob's Fork people have been using the plows and drags and find that they can make roads that are good in all kinds of weather. One day last week was a reg ular snake day with Mr. Clarence Ikerd. While plowing a little lot of about an acre he killed six snakes measuring from three to five and a half feet long. All but one were black snakes, and all were plowed up but one, and this was the largest. Mr. Frank Rader's frost came exactly on time. A month ago, the Enterprise printed his pre diction that the first frost would i come on September 28th. People ! from the country, who were on the look out before the sun was up, tell us that there was a good deal of frost Tuesday morning, the 28th. Who will now deny Mr. Rader the highest place in the seats of the prophets? Mr. Andrew Helton, son-in-law and tenant of Mr. George Bolick, had the first bale of cotton of the year in Catawba county ginned by the Houk Ginning Company last Saturday morning, Septem ber 25th. It weighed 413 pounds and was sold to Mr. R. M. Knox at 13 cents. Being the first bale ginned, the work was done free, and this was a saving of $3.00 How Much is he Worth. Charity and Children. That Question otten asked, is rarely answered correctly. It ap plies in the parlance of the day, solely to the value of his estate as represented by dollars and cents; and as the weight of a hog is estimated, so the worth of a man is measured by the size of the pile he has acquired by fair means or otherwise. But how muchis he worth? That depends on many things. One of the things that deserve the thoughtful consideration is his sense (not his cents). A man is valuable to his commun ity in porpotion as he has brain power and wisely directs it Af ter all, in all great crises, when men are perplexed and in doubt, they instinctively turn to the man of old fashioned comfion, sense, ! no matter whether he has a bank 1 account or not. Sense rules this country as it does every other. The Apostle Paul was not a great financer he hadn't the time to fool with finances but he al ways commanded the respect and attention of foes as well as friends because he knew things. But a man's value is also de termined by his moral integrity. Job's character shone much more clearly in his poyerty and humili ation than when he was sur rounded by the glitter and glare How a Woman Rid Her Home and Sec tion of a Very Troublesome Red Man. Kansas City Journal. The pioneer Kansas women had some hard times. To begin with, the neighboos were always several miles away, and many a woman was left alone at home all day while her husband was busy in the field or working in the timber. Over in Brown county a story is told anent the settlement of the Kickapoo reserve. Natural ly the proximity of the Indians often caused the settler's wives a great deal of worry and fear. An Indian and whiskey were al ways ready to mix in those days. One day a big, ugly Indian staggered up to the door of a farm house and pounded it hard. The door was opened by the far mer's wife. She was alone. "Nothing here," said the woman, trying to add to the meaning by making motions. "Me hungry," grunted the In dian again. He could hardly keep his feet, and leaned heavily against the house for support. "Nothing here," said the woman again, much worried. "Eat hungry," fussed the drunken aborigine. "Nothing here," said the woman, another time. She saw that time for action had come, and shouted at him: "Go away get away, no stay here get away." The Indian grunted a little more, but he was too drunk to quarrel and finally turned around and staggered over to a small fiuit tree in the yard, under which he lay down and was quickly asleep. It was still early in the day and the woman was sure that the In dian would awaken before her husband came home. She did not scream and wring her hands and go into hysterics. She put her wits to working. First she went to the barn and got an armful of corn, which she shelled. Then she tiptoed to the tree and scattered the corn all over the drunken brave, and then made a trail of corn to the barn lot. She opened the gate and called to the hogs. About thirty CLOUD PICTURES.

Wilbur Wright's Startling Flight. New York Special Oct. 4. An aeroplane flashed past the white dome of Grant's Tomb, to- aay, tnen turning gracetuiiy m mid-air over the waters of the Hudson, shot like a falcon back to Governor's Island, ten miles away. Wilbur Wright, of Dayton, Ohio, thus placed his name in the rank with Hudson and Fulton to day m one of the most spectacu lar feats in the history of aeronautics. Over the masts of warships from whose decks hoarse cheers of the sailors were borne up to him in his elevated seat, he flew for twenty miles ten miles up and ten miles back remaining in the air for thirty-three minutes and thirty-three seconds and alighting at the aerodrome with out mishap. During the flight business was practically at a standstill . in all that part of Manhattan from which a view of his remarkable performance was available. Har bor craft shrieked their applause, cheer after cheer swept up from the banks of the Hudson and the lower bay for the Dayton avia tor had made good," crowning aviation program of the Hudson- Fulton celebration with a record. The flight was made under conditions only moderately favor able! The wind was blowing about ten miles an hour, while an over cast sky added to the uncertainty of the weather. Amid the clat ter of the machine's exhaust which sounded like musketry fire, Wright climbed to his seat in his aeroplane. In a moment the ma chine was off.

There is living near Polk ville, Cleveland county, a lady, Mrs. Barbara K. h,iiiott, wno is the great grand-daughter of Capt. James Withrow, who fought at the battle of King's Mountain. Mrs. Elliott lives with her son, Mr. James C. El liott, and is now 90 years of age. She is, perhaps, the only woman living who ever saw a soldier of the battle of Kings Mountain.

Men doubted his ability to withstand the temptation, as the devil did, but when he was tried he proved that his heart was golden. He bent to none but God. No fear could move him, no flattery seduce him from his moral moor in p-s. It is most pitiful to see a man endowed by nature with a strong, clear mind, surrender ab jectly to the evil passions of his nature, and throw the crown God has placed upon his brow in to the dust! Once more: A man's value to the world may be measured by the unselfish service he renders to his fellows. At this p )int the doctrine of the present day breaks us down. In the business world a man is laughted at who has the least regard for others, and especially for those who are weaker and less shrewd than himself. The fact is success in the present day sense depends on the ability of the financier to walk over his rival and by his superior skill seize that which otherwise the other would have secured. God looks at things differently from the most of us and some day the Napoleons of Finance, who are leaders in our churches, will be filled with sad surprise to find themselves on the brink of the river ragged as beggars. might have ! They liced the trail clean and to one side the man-bird slowly sailors of his own country and those of Great Britain, Germany, France and Italy. When the air vessel reached the British cruiser Argyil, an chored an eight of a mile above Grant's tomb, Wright described an easy and graceful curve and started on his return journey down the river. The wind con ditions which had bothered him on the journey up were now more favorable and it was here that the speed possibilities of the ma chine were demonstrated. While the ten miles up stream occupied nearly twenty minutes, the return flight was made in little more than thirteen minutes, or at a rate approximately of forty-two miles an hour. Nearing the harbor entrance 1 Mil i 1 again, he was conirontea witn the same architectural conditions which caused him to vary his altitudes on the way up. Again he lowered himself and when he reached the open water of the bay he was flying barely sixty feet above the surface. Thence onward he gradually lessened his height. Past Governor's Island the machine sped, an eighth of a mile over the bay, then veering sharply around Wright headed swiftly for the landing place in which he settled with the ease of a bird amid the enthusiastic plaudits of soldiers and civilians.
