Mr. Ira M.Hawkins, of Yadkin Valley, in a recent issue of the Progressive Farmer gives the fol lowing explanation of how he came to this part of the state and why he likes it so well: Life in New York City was so replete with opportunity and fieldes for service that I soon found my strength ebbing despite the fact. I was very careful as to habits, diet, etc. I concluded to join the "Back to the Landers" and fly to the open fields. I can vassed the inducements and de cided to inspect the Southeast I liked Virginia very much, but land there was too high. I found an orchard and other productive land in western North Carolina for sale at a fraction of the rates further North and took title a few years ago. As to results and opinions I find these conditions: 1. We have a long season of growth with little biting cold to chill plants, animals and humans. This means that we have a longer time to plant and gather crops, a long pasture season for cattle, hens and hogs with the many glorious spring and fall days. We are not rushed from frigid blasts to baking heat 2. An abundant rainfall which is of priceless value to plant growth with rarely a flood or drouth. 3. A soil rich in potash capable of growing nearly every farm crop with profit It is especially friendly to the legumes. 4. I find it easy to grow legumes to enrich the soil. It is often impossible to get a crop of certain legumes in the North while here I can grow them all without inoculation. 5. All farm crops here find a ready sale at prices far above the rates in other sections. Low prices for farm products is unknown. 6. Intelligent help -at low rates. 7. The people are pure Ameri can and rank first for kindness, gentleness and hospi'ality. I am content and hopeful with all my eggs carefully sequestrated in a Southern basked. I have bidden my friends to come as it is a region of promise to bright, energetic men.

Profit by filiers while you Mrs. L. L. Kincaid. Inoir Topic, 20th. Lorenzo Legrand Baker was born Feb. 26, 1829, and died at her home on John's river, Oct. 17, 1912, being almost 84 years old. Deceased was a daughter of the late Richard Baker and on Dec. 18, 1851, she was married to William Wilburn Kincaid. To them were born six children, F. M. Kincaid of Burke county, Columbus (died in infancy) Mary Virginia, J. L. Kincaid of Idaho, J. R. Kincaid with whom she lived and Mrs. Allie Teague of Burke county. Mrs. Kincaid had a hard time, for at the beginning of the Civil War, she was left at home with her small children and at the close of the war her husband came home and died in just one week after, he got home (July 12, 1865.) Now began a brave struggle to raise her fam ily and with the aid of some of her faithful old slaves she suc ceeded. She was a good, noble christian woman, having joined the church on Nov. 15, 1885, she lived a true and loyal member until the time of her death. When Laurel Hill Methodist church was built, she gave the land on which it is built besides helping otherwise. She was a woman of wonderful memory and retained it until the last Her death was due to a general breakdown, not ever being a strong woman and being so old, she never fully overcame the shock caused by the deaths of her daughter-in-law and grand child (Mrs. J. R. Kincaid and baby) who died just a few weeks before she died. Truly a good woman is gone and "Aunt Legrand," as she was generally called, will be missed by all. X.

The Selection of Postmaster Bj Primary Election. Statesvilie Landmark. A dispatch from Terrell, Texas, says there are so many Demo cratic candidates for postmaster at Terrell since the election that a move is on foot to hold a special "postmaster primary elec tion" and declare the one secur ing the highest vote the only ap plicant This plan has been put up to Congressman James Young, of the district, whore fused to consider it until he con sulted with President-elect Wil son. The same plan has been sug gested to select a postmaster for r.hnnttfi. Under the second Cleveland administration, in 1893, the primary plan was tried in SfotPcvillA but didn't work. There were three candidates for postmaster Mr. J. A. Hartness, Dr. L. Harrill and Mr. vv. Boshamer. When a primary was proposed the iriends of Mr. Boshamer declined to have any thing to do with it, on the ground that there was no definite way of determining who was entitled vote and no assurance that 11 4- the government wouia acceyi. that method. The primary was held, however, and Mr. Hartness won bv an overwhelming vote But the appointing power ma nnt. recosmize the primary and Mr. Boshamer was appointed postmaster. Than 800,000 on Government Pension Roll. Washington Dispatch. There are now on the govern ment's pension roll 538,000 sol diers and sailors, 321,932 de pendents and widows and 362 army nurses, according to the annual report of the pension bureau. These include 497,263 survivors of the civil war and 238 widows of the war of 1812. To provide for all of them this year, $151,558,141 has been ap propriated, a decrease of $3,276, 096 from last year. It is estimated that there were 2,213,365 individuals in the mili tary and naval service of the United States during the civil war, and that upward of 75 per cent of them are now dead. The report predicts that the abolish ment of the pension agencies ef fective January 31, 1913, and the payment of all pensions di rect from the pension bureau will result in a more efficient and pcnnomical administration, avoid ing duplication of work and saving expense. The total number oi pension ers under general pension laws is 838.210. their pensions aggre gating $144,973,569, and under special acts of Congress, 22,084, aggregating $t,t84,oz annuany. From the foundation of the oYWPrnment to June 30 last the United States paid $4,383,368,164 in Tensions to soldiers, sailors anrl marines, their widows, minrvr children and dependent relatives on account of military nnrl naval service in the various wars and in regular service. Popular Vote in Presidential Elections. Statesvilie Landmark. A contemporary says the fol lowing figures of the popular vote for President this year are approximately correct: Wilson, 6,475,000; Roosevelt, 4,285,000; Taft, 3,500,000. This gives Wil son about 2,000,000 over Roose velt and more than 3,000,000 over Taft; but the combined vote of Roosevelt and Taft is about 1,000.000 in excess of the Wilson vote. It is a fact, however, that in the history of the country many men have been elected President who did not receive a majority of the popular vote. In 1824 Andrew Jackson, John Q. Adams, Henry Clay and W. H. Crawford were voted for. Jackson re ceived the largest popular vote, having ' 50,551 over Adams, but Adams was elected. In 1844 James K. Polk, the successful candidate, had a plurality of 38,175. Henry Clay being the next highest but Polk lacked 44,125 of a majority of popular vote the vote cast for Clay and Birney exceeding the vote of Polk by that much. In 1848 Zachary Taylor had a plurality of 139,557. Bl7t the combined vote cast for Cass and Martin Van Buren in that election was 151,706 in excess of the vote of Taylor. Lincoln had 491,195 over Douglas in 1860 but the combined vote of Douglass, Breckinridge and Bell was 944, 139 more than the vote cast for Lincoln. In '1876 Tilden had 250,935 over Hayes. The com bined vote against Hayes ex ceeded his vote by 343,833, and yet Hayes was counted in. In 1880 Garfield had only 7,018 over Hancock and the combined vote against Garfield exceeded his vote by 311,294. In 1884 Grover Cleveland had 62,683 over Blaine but the total . vote for Cleveland was 221,941 less than the com bined vote for his opponents Blaine, St John and B. F. But ler. In 1888 Cleveland failed in the electoral college but he had of the popular vote 98,017 more than Harrison and the combined vote cast against Harrison was 500,428 greater than the vote cast for him. Harrison, it will be seen, was not only more than a half million votes in the minority on the popular vote but his chief opponent had nearly 100,000 more votes than he had, yet Harrison had 233 in the elec toral college to 168 for Cleveland. In 1892 Cleveland had 380,810 over Harrison but the combined vote against Cleveland excelled his vote by 945,515. It is easy to see how one can fail of a majority or plurality of the popular vote and yet win in the electoral college, for while a candidate may carry by small majorities enough States to win in the electoral college his op ponent may have such large pop ular majorities in the States he carries as to give him a majority of the popular vote; and when there are more than two candi dates in the rase it is not un common for the winning candi date to fail of a majority of the popular vote. All of this means that the Re publicans who have referred to Wilson as an accident are mak ing an exhibition of their nar rowness or of their ignorance of conditions attending presidential elections. Republicans Making Last Grab at Pie Counter. Washington Dispatch. Hungry Republisans, foresee ing a four years political famine, are flooding the White House with letters begging for an op portunity to serve the public. The avalanche of petitions for public office has almost inundated the executive office clerks and the arguments of the writers are said to be ingenuous in the ex treme. Many of the writers in a king for political preferment before the incoming of the Dem ocratic administration, advance the idea that they might be overlooked when President Wil son took up the reins of office, while others pin their faith on being temporarily overlooked after the change in administra tion. There are few offices, how ever, and the White House is not filling many of those. Senator Slmmens' Campaign Expenses. The final statement by United States Senator Simmons of ex penses in the senatorial cam paign, as required to be filed with the secretary of the United States Senate, shows that his entire expenses for the campaign as required to be reported aggre gated $7,240.80 and the total con tributions of friends to this fund was $2,763. - The report published just before election showed $2,416 contributed and $5,7S8.12 expen ded and the final report shows $347 additional contributions and $1,452.68 additional expenses. Meeting Burke County Teachers' Associatton. Reported for The News-Herald The Burke Teachers' Asso ciation held its first meeting of the year in the graded school auditorium at Morganton Satur day, November 23rd.

To the Editor of The News-Herald: A committee from the United Charities is going to undertake ; the sale of the Red Cross Christ mas Seal, and we hope that all the towns in the county will do likewise. The real object of this, as we take it, is to interest and instruct the people on the subject of Tuberculosis, as the great masses of the people are ignorant of it We hope to have a society for the study and prevention of Tuberculosis in the county formed from this campaign. We think a good idea is to have the school children sell the stamps, and before they do so, have a short simple address made in the schools, telling them what Tuberculosis is, etc. The pro ceeds from this sale are to go to Tuberculosis work in some line.
