GRAHAM, N. C., Jan. 30, 1912. North Carolinian Goes to U. S. Senate From Tennessee. On 24th inst. the Legislature of Tennessee elected Prof. W. R. Webb of Hell Buckle to the U. S. Senate for the term ending March 4tb, next, to succeed Newell Sanders, Repub lican, and filling out the unexpired term of Senator Robert L. Taylor. Prof. Webb, who is caHed in the dis patches an independent Democrat, was born in Person Vcounty in 1842. When Prof. Webb was about three years old his father moved to the . Bingham School at Oaks, this coun ty, then Orange county, to educate liia boys. The Senator went to Chapel Hill and finished his educa tion. He was a Confederate soldier and was captain of a company. After the war he taught in Horner's school and since has taught at Bell Buckle. , He is a brother of Capt. Sam'l H. Webb, who owns and lives st the old home at Oaks. Dr. J. 0. Atkinson, the learned and charming editor of the Christian Sun, speaking of a gentleman who lives in a thriving city of the State, says "Mr. is an undertaker and deserves that the Lord should pros per his business." Just what the esteemed Doctor means we are un able to say, but the first thought came to us is that there are a num ber of people in that city who need to be buried. The Legislature has passed in both houses the bill ratifying the proposed amendment to the Consti tuion of the United States for the election .of United States Senators by a direct vote of the people instead of by the Legislature. It looks now that the Legislature will provide for six months term of six mofetbs term of public schools. Such a provision should have no oppoaition. The Newa and Observer says: "The legislature ought not to ap point any Justice of the Peace at all These officer* are elected in the variona townships snd sometimes men nsmed by legislators are men who would not be elected at home. It ongbt to stop." To some extent this admonitions is proper and along the right line, bnt the framera of the conatitution recognized that it was necessary that such power be given the Legis lature that competent men miglit be given the power to adminiater the law for the protection of society. Even to thia day all the conditions that made it deairable that the Legis lature should appoint Joaticesof the Peace bare not paaaed away. Proposition to Buy Light and Power . rants. Clients through their attorney, Mr. E. 8. Parker, Jr., have made a proportion to buy Darlington'a light and power plant, bnt the matter has not been settled yet. It will oome before the Board of Aldermen next week. We understand there is also a proposition to taks over the light and power plant of Graham, but do not know the particular*. The deal, if oonsumated, is a big one sod msans much to ths towns of Ala mance, as it is proposed to have one large central plant that will serve Burlington, Elon College, Graham, Haw River and Mebene. Lettuce Worth 13,000 An Acre. I saw, in Dulutb, thirteen acree set out to head lettuoe, on the farm of Mr. G. G. Hartley. Ip 1911 Mr. Hartley hadaoet income of more than 99,000 from three acres of lettuce, shipping to Chi oago after the Doluth market was ■applied, and the,9uality of his product caused such a sensation among lettuoe-growers throughout the Middle West that some of the most successful of them, after visit!tig Duluth announoed their Intention of buying farma in the vicinity. Mr. Hartley's farm and the Jean, Duluth farm, with GOO acres now cleared and stocked ' with 900 pure-bred Guernsey and Red-polled dairy cattle, Pereheron hones, and Shetland ponies, are in a sense demonstration farms where the small farmer and mark et gardner have objeet lessons I ever before them.—World's Work Senator Simmons a Protraaahre. Washington OltpaUb toCharlotte Observer, Asked to say whether or not he waa a "progressive" Senator Simmons declared: "Yea, I am a progressive, (or my detinltioon of a progressive is 'a man who believes in and wishes to pat In practical operation the pollciea and principles enunciated in the Baltimore platform of the Demo cratic party. "As to the tariff, I am heartily in favor of following the Instruc tions of the party platform. "That plaatform aaya: 'we fa vor the Immediate downward re vision of the existing high, and, in many casea, prohibitive tariff duties, Insisting that material re ductiona be apeedily made upon tthe necessities of tife. Articles entering Into . competition with trust-controlled product s and articles of American manufacture which are sold noW abroad more cheaply than at .home, should be put upon the free list. "We recognize that our system of tariff taxation is intimately connected wih the buainess of a country and we favor the ultimate attaainment of the principles we advocate by legislation that will not injure or destroy legitimate industry. "I think that Mr. Underwood, chairmaan of the ways and meana committee is very forrtunate in his use of the word 'competliv*' tariff, which means duties that will allow competition. We want competition and revenue. "If we tariff is too high there will be no importations apd no competition In this brief statement Mr. Sim mons haa sized up the situation in the Democratic camp in regard to the tariff. There will be re ductions and equalizatlona without destroying any legitimate indus try. iiOrn o rowers meeting. | We are making an earnest effort to grow enough corn In our state and to grow it cheaply enough so that none will be shipped into the state from other - parts of the country. The demonstration work has shown thst with good methods of farming we can easily grow from thirty to fifty bushels per acre instead of from fifteen to twenty bushels per acre as we have been doing in past yesrs These larger amounts pan be grown at an average price of about twenty-five cents per bu., so the matter is one of vital Im portance to every farmer who grows corn. Two meetings will be held in our county—at Friendship Peb. 7th, and at Cross Rosds Feb. Bth, 1913. beginning at I o'clock. At that time we will have with us ■ome men from the V. 8. and State Departments of Agriculture to discuss the best methods of of doubling the corn yield with out increasing the cost per acre. We hope you will oome to the meeting and bring one or two dosen of your best ears of corn so that we may have a corn Judging and some corn to study. Also we expect some of our most successful corn growers to tell us how they succeed In the mst ter. invite your neighbors, es pecially the boys, to come to the meeting'. Your* cordially, C. B.

A most unusual thing, some thing which nobody remembers ever to have heard before and which, in the nature of things conld not happen again in many blue moons, caused Judge K. 8. Ferguson, of Waynesvilie, this morning shortly after convening a week's term of civil court to dis miss the entire jury drawn to serve for this special term and order another jury to b® drawn. This second jury will be oij hand tomorrow. Meanwhile the sesidou of eonrt this afternoon will be de voted to hearing motions. When the jury was to bedrawto a small.boy was called in off the street by Mr. A. H. Prevatt. Mr; Prevatt did not know the boy nor did any of the commissioners. Nobody thought anything about it until Mollie Bryant, the boy's mother, taking pride in the fact that the little fellow had earned a quarter in this way, happened to mention it one day when iu con ference with her attorneys, Mc- Lean, Varser A McLean, in refer ence to the will of the late S. A. Edmund, of which will she and her children are the principal i beneficiaries and the effort to break which will is the first case on the calendar for this term. 80 the attorneys at once let the attor neys for those who are contesting the will know about the jury be ing drawn by one of that will's beneficiaries and the attorneys challenged the entire panel. It was nobody's fault. It just happened that way. And of course it probably never would happen that way again. As Epitaph. "Here liea a poor woman who always was tired. She lived in a house where the help was not hind. Her laat words on earth were: 'Dear friends, I am going To where there's no cooking, no washing, no sewing; But everything there is exact to my wishes, For where they don't eat, there's no washing dishes. I'll be where loud anthems will always be ringing, % But having no voice, I'll get out of the singing. Don't mourn fbr me now. Don't mourn for me, never.
