He looked apprehensively toward his un expected visitor. Lord Runton, how ever, showed no signs of any great dis composure. He was wearing his ordi nary dinner clothes and In reply to Buncombe's first question assured him that he had dined. I will try a glass of your port, If I may, George," he declared. , "Thanks 1" The butler had wheeled a chair up to the table for him and left the room. Lord Runton filled his glass and sent the decanter round. Then he turned toward Spencer, to whom he bad just been Introduced. Mr. Spencer," he said, "my visit to night was mainly to you. I dare say you are aware that a somewhat un pleasant thing has happened at my house. My people tell me that you called there this morning and Inquired for Mr. Fielding." Spencer nodded. "Quite true," he answered. "I called, but did not see him. He appears to have left somewhat hurriedly while I was waiting'." You did not even catch a glimpse of him?" "No." "You know Mr. Fielding bj sight; I presume?" I have seen him in Pans once or twice," Spencer answered. "You will not think me Impertinent for asking you these questions, I am sure.

Lord Runton nodded "Thank rou." he said. "I presume that your visit this morning was one of courtesy. You are acquainted witn air. Fielding?' I have not that pleasure," Spencer answered. "I am afraid I mast con fess that my visit was purely one of curiosity." "Curiosity?" Lord Runton repeated. "Exactly. Do you mind passing those excellent clearettes of yours, Dun combe?"

Ho told me afterward that whenever be was speculating he always coded his mes aages. and it seemed perfectly reason able." Spencer nodded. "Just so!" he murmured. "This morning," Lord Runton con tinued, "Mr. Fielding rather upset out plans. We were all to have spent the day at the duke's and diued there. There was a big shoot for the men, as you know. At breakfast time, however, Mr. Fielding announced that he had a man coming over with a motor car from Norwich for them to try and beg ged to be excused. So we had to go without them. "De Rothe was staying with me, aa you know, and Just before we started he had a telegram that a messenger from the embassy was on his way down. He hesitated for some time as to whether be ought not to stay at borne so as to be here when be ar rived, but we persuaded him to come with us and promised to send him back after luncheon. When we got to Ches tow, however, the wind had become a gale, and It was Impossible to shoot decently. De Rothe was a little un easy all the time, I could see, so be and I and a few of the others returned here, and the rest went up to Chestow. Just as wu arrived Fielding passed us In a great motor car, with his daughter behind. When we got to the bouse De Rothe Inquired for the messenger. He was told that he was In Mr. Fielding's sitting room, but when we got there we found the door locked, and through the key hole we could hear a mau groaning. We broke the door In and found De Rothe's messenger half un conscious and a rifled dispatch box upon the floor.

Even then he bad little hope of recovering the letter. We did our best, but of course we bad no chance. Mr. Fielding and his daughter simply drove off.

"I bare treated you with confidence, Mr. Spencer," be said. "Will you tell me now why you called at my house to see Mr. Fielding today?" Spencer hesitated, but only for a mo ment. "Certainly," ho said. " "I came be cause I knew that Mr. Fielding was halfway to America and his daughter in Russia. Some friends of mine were curious to know whom your guests could be."

Novelists write a lot of nonsense about the extreme suffering that ac companies starvation. It la all poppy cock, says Dillon Wallace in the Out ing Magazine. Any healthy person, with a normal appetite, after missing two or three meals is as hungry aa he ever gets. After awhile there is a sense of weakness that grows on one, and this Increases with the days. Then there comes a desire for a great deal of sleep, a sort of lassitude that is not unpleasant, and this desire becomes more pronounced as the weakness grows. The end is always in sleep.

Maa Be Has Been Soeeeaalnl-Publlc Spirited aad Patriotic. He Leads la All Proflresalve Movement. To the Democrats of N. C. : Ashley Home, ot this place, is a candidate for Governor, subject to the action of the Democratic Slate convention. I have known Mr. Home all of his life and leel that it is not out of place for me, of my own knowledge to state what, manner of man he is. j He is a native of Johnston county; is sixty-five years old; had a com mon school education, but in early manhood volunteered as a private in the Confederate army, and fol lowed the fortunes of the Army of Northern Virginia for four years, and surrendered with it at Appo mattox. His record as a soldier is without blemish. After the war he had neither the time nor ability to complete his education. Necessity required him bim to go to work. The first year after going home he cultivated crop, then clerked in a store, and in 1867 began merchandising for him self. He prospered, made friends of his customers, and many of the men who began to trade with him forty years ago are still his custom ers and friends. As a farmer and as a business man he has been successful, and he has also embarked in other lines of business. Now be is regarded as one of the most successful men in the State. While he has other large lines and is engaged in bank ing, insurance, manufacturing, merchandising, he is still a large j and active farmer. He is not mere ST SALI AT COST & CO. I 1907. ly a farmer on paper, but every day during the crop season a visitor would be apt to find him in the field actually carrying on large, active, and sucessful farming operation. And so well informed does he keq himself on market prices of farm products, that many will recall that during recent years he has publish ed cotton letters that contained wholesome advice lo the farmcra with regard to holding their cotton. This advice has proved to be well founded, and there is no estimating the money it saved the farmers of the Stale and they were not slow in expressing their gratitude to him. In fact he is on all business prop ositions a very practical and wio counsellor. He was one of the oflicers of the Cotton Growers' Association and he has established warehouses some what on the plan of the bonded ware bouse system now advocated by that Association. He has always bean a strict, regu lar and organization Democrat. Ho has voted the Democatic tickets n;i they were printed. In the early OO's, when Populism' was making such headway among the people he opposed it, but he understood the hard conditions under which the farmers were suffer ing: and instead of denouncing their movement as many unwise men did he treated them with kindness and sympathy, dissuading them from leaving the Democratic party, but never denouncing them. In the country immediately contiguous to Clayton. Populism never made any headway and one of the reasons for this was the wise and kindly manner in which the farmers were treated by .Mr. Home and other Democrats. Af er the fusion of Populism and Republicanism carried the State, and when many Democrats folt that ft would be best for us to make some arrangement with the Popu lists by which the State could be re deemed, Mr. Home was outspoken in his denunciation of the movement Six or eight years before he hart so come MADE TOR US BY Peters (Jx in Go. SmBBBBBjVSBBBa-------BBBBBaW-l been moderate and conciliatory in dealing with the Populist, for he understood the burden under which the farmers were then staggering. But in 1898 he had no sympathy for any movement looking to a fu sion with Butler, Russell and Thompson. He was outspoken in denouncing any such proposition. He came to the State Convention in J898 and threw his whole influence in favor of a straight fight. II there is one idea in Mr. Home's mind, or if there is one motive in his life which predominates over all others, it is his opposition and ha tred of monopolies and combines. He has always stood for the individ ual and in favor of the freest com petition. He does not believe in any law which gives one man an advantage over another, and he be lieves that any agreement between two or more men, or two or more companies to restrict competition, or to create a monopoly is a crime against human rights and ought to bo punished in the severest manner. Ho is a practical trust fighter. Not a trust-buster on paper, but a man who bas systematically and earnest ly lought monopolies in the only way he found it practical to fight thom. When tho cotton oil industry be came important he was one of the men who organized the first cotton oil mill in Raleigh. When he ascer tained that the American Co'.ton Oil Company had obtained control of that mill he sold every dollar of his stock and retired. When it appear ed that tne fertilizer business was going into the hands of large con cerns, he was one of the people who helped to organize the Caraleigh Phosphate and Fertilizer Works near the City of Raleigh, t Propositions were made to buy that mill out. , Mr. Home opposed it and offered lo become responsi ble for the future of tho mill him self provided it was kept indepen dent. A few years ago when it ap peared that the American Cotton Oil Company and the Southern Cot ton Oil Company would control tho cotton seod market of the South, and that they possibly might coin- bino and regulate prices, immedi ately Mrr H oriw assisted in the building of an independent mill at Clayton, which mill is now owned and controlled by Clayton people and run independently. It pro vides an independent market for seed and furnishes, independent of Other companies fertilizers. He is president of the Clayton Oil Mills. . In 1902, many North Carolina mills favored going into a combination, so as to effect, it was said, large economy. Tbe proposi tion was made to Mr. Home to have tbe Clayton mills included in tbe merger. He declined lo sub mil the proposition to tbe stock- nolduis. I he fate of that merger justified tbe wisdom of bis course. He was one of the first men to advocate the formation of home in surance companies, both fire and life, and thus stop the outflow of North Carolina money for fire in surance. He was one of the early stockholders of tbe North Carolina Home, and is an officer and direc tor in a number of successful life and fire insurance comp aniea. One of the rules of his business life is tD give the preference, where practicable to do so,, to local and independent companies, rather than to foreign companies and large combination of capital Aa far as it is possible to dd so, he taboos trusts and monopolies. From the purchass of the oil which lubri cates bis machinery to the placing of material upon his property, he always gives the preference to local (Continued on page V) ' Seasonable Farm Seeds Cow Peas, Sorflinns, MflletX Teosinte, late Seed Potatoes, -Buckwbeat, Vetcfces, Crimson Clover, etc WsooT.
