Coble Reunion Association would

day at Coble's Lutheran church,
Guilford county. Prof. J. B. Robert
son and Miss Cora P. Jeffcoat from

the family from several counties.
The day was passed in speech-mak
ing and getting acquainted, and laat,

The family reunion idea is not a
new one, but in this section ol the

on so large a scale as in the Coble
family. Every family could add
greatly to the inteiest of the family
history by making a family tree,

Chapel Hill News.
The people of Chapel Hill and
, Bingham townships are enthu
siastic supporters of the Ala
• mance, Durham aud Orange Rail
| way proposition. They are pleased
i to learn of the good reports which
i come from Alamance county re
garding the project; Graham, the
county seat of Alamance, and
Thompson township, voted $50,-
000 of bonds for'the proposed new
road by a large majority. We
learn that Durham people are also
much interested in the new road
coming to that city via Chapel
Hill. The new road will open up
one of the finest farming sections
in the State. For several years
there has been talk of building an
electric railway from Durham to
Chapel Hill. Now that Mr. Junius
11, Ila'rden, who is president of
an electric line connecting Bur
lington aud Graham and Haw
River, is back of the Alamance,
Durltyui and Orange Railway,
supported b/ strong financial
backing, gives us the strongest
kind of assurance that tlie road
will be built. The townships
voting bonds purchase certain
amounts of stock in the road,
which will pay big dividends. In
this wajr' give the people an inter
est in tlie road-which will make it
a better financial success, aud in
later years it can sell its stock at
a profit. The load will build up
the towuships, besides be a source
from which the county will get a'
largo slice of revenue. The prop£
hition strikes us as being a good
one, when we think of the conven
ience it will afford the people liv
ing lqpg distances from railway,
the fine farming sections that will
bo opened up, and the thousand
and one other things that can-be
marketed, railway stations easily
reached, all will m,ako life worth
living in the country through
which this road will traverse. The
country needs the road.
Pardon For Gen- Hoke Won By
Kisses.
Statesville Landmark.
Judge Geo. I'. IVII tells the
Raleigh News and Observer the
story of how President Andrew
Johusou pardoned Gen. 11. F.
Moke of North Caroliua without
Gen. Hoke ttking the oath pre
scribed by law for those who had
participated "in the rebellion."
Judge Pell says Gen. Hoke told
hiin the story and he tells it as he
remembers it. The incident oc
curred when President Johnson
aud Secretary of State Seward at
tended commencement at. Chapel
Hill, soon after the close of the
war. President Jolioson was on
the campus with Gen. Hoke, in
company with a number of beauti
ful young women. Up to that
time Gen. Hoke had not received
a pardon froih the Federal gov
ernment. for his part, in the Con
federacy because he refused to
take the oath. Addressing Presi
dent Johnson, one of the group of
young women said:
"Mr. President, wo women of
North Carolina want to ask of you
one favor, and that is that you
pardoii General Iloke without his
having to take the oath pre
scribed.' 1
The President turned around
and said: "Young ladies, you all
look mighty pretty to me aud it is
very hard not to graut any requost
you would make, aud I will make
you this proposition: If each oue
of you will step up lidre and give
me a kiss, I will grant your re
quest."
Immediately each yoUng lady
walked up aud kissed the Presi
dent, whereupon he turned around
to his Secretary of State and said
to hiin: "Mr. Seward, as soon as
we get back to Washiugtou, help
ine remember to at once have the
proper authority forward a full
pardou to General Hoke."

e' BIG STOCK GOLD.
United Slates Has the. Greatest Sup
ply on Hand Ever.
11 Washington Dispatch.
- With $2,006,309,5.'10 in sold cash
- and bullion in the United States
1 August 2, this uation has accumu
-1 lated the greatest Btock of gold of
- auy nation on earth ami perhaps
9as much as any two nations*>{ the
I wprld now possess. •
It is the greatest stock of gold
r that the United States has ever
a 'had. It is the greatest stock of
) gold that any nation, modern or
I ancient, ever could lay claim to
1 England, it is reported, has ac
-1 cumulated about $800,000,000 iu
i gold, practically the entire stock
j of the United Kingdom, as the
1 nation has been hoarding precious
> metal and urging the people to
1 use currency.
f In 11)07, when the United States
■ had a ttock of $1,612,000,000 in
' gold, Germany had a stock valued
, at 1,044,000,000; France, $006,-
, 000,(X)0; Russia, $907,000,000;
1 j Great Britaiu, $564,000,000; Aus
. tria, $303,000,000; Italy, s2sßj-'
000,000. The present stock of the
1 United States, representative of a
loss of gold to the nations
rope through trade balances, must
easily equal the holdings of any
two nations, if not of any three at
the present time.
There was never so much gold
in the world as at the present day.
Thtr production of gold for the
/first half century between 1801
' and 1850, averaged only $15,74!),-
000 a yoar. For the following 50
years, with the discovery of gold
in California, the annual produc
tion rose to $124,892,000. , The
production of all previous years
throughout the world's history
was never anywhere near such
vast amounts.
July 1 the gold stock of the
United StateS was $1,993,549,015,
showing ah accumulation to Au
gust 2 of over $12,000,000. In the
treasury of the United States,
held as assetn of the government,
there is $226,076,821 iu gold. Fed
eral reserve banks and agents
hold $6,629,902 as security against
Federal notes; there is $596,541,-
047 gold in circulation; the bal
ance of the stock is held as coin
or bullion in the mints of the
United States.
There is $4,009,56L429 of all
kinds of money in the United
States; of this amount $3,563,-
705,022 is in circulation. As the
population of conlinental T?nited
States is estimated at ( 100,867,000
the circulation per capita is
$35.33.

! CORN ON THE PLAINS
' Comparison Is Made of Average
Yields and Profits.
> Much Importance le Attached to Faot
That" Corn Leaves Flsld In Excel
lent Condition for the Crop
That Is to Follow.
experience has shown that com
grown for fodder or the sIW IS at
least a safe crop, and perhaps ,as pro
ductive as any that could be grown
in the great plains area. The response
to the different modes of culture and
crop sequence, however. Is greater la
the southern and central portions of
the ares than in the northern, sccord
ln* to the new department bulletin.
No. 219. Boms 14 field stations are
situated in the great plains area, which
covers ten states, Montana, North Da
kota, South Dakota, Wyoming, Ne
braska, ' Colorado, Kansas, Oklahoma,
Texas and Now {itexlco. The climate
la this area is often classified as semt
arld, but as ths variations tn humidity
from season to season are so (rest,
some years have a relatively high pre
cipitation and may .be followed by
years of drought (thus climate and
the distribution of rainfall play a very
Important part in determining the site
of the corn crop. Necessarily, in a
bulletin dealing with such a wide ex
pense of territory, deductions when
not applied to a speclOo station must
be very general.
Corn crowing possesses merit as a
preparation of the land for a crop of
small grain. When these two factors,
yield of corn or fodder and ths influ
ence of the crop on the soli, are com
bined in one crop, " they make Its
growth of double Importance. Corn
is the only crop that at present offers
this advantage in the great plains m,
and which at ths same time lends It
self to a large acreage and to a gen
eral farming system. Potatoes as a
crop may have the same effect as oom
mon fallow crop, but do not lend them
selves so well to growth on a large
acreage.
Such crops as spring wheat, oats and
barley in the great plains area, when
following corn, have consistently given
higher yields as compared with other
methods of preparing a seedbed for
these crops. Very often these small
grain crops have yielded the highest,
or approximately the highest, yield
when grown on disked corn land, and
when the cost of preparation Is con
sidered, this plan was also found to
be productive of the greatest profit
Therefore, In the growing of corn
much Importance Is attached to the
fact that it leaves the field In excel
lent condition for the crop following.
A striking point brought out In
the bulletin Is the uniformity in the
amount of stover or fodder produced
by all methods at the stations tn Mon
tana and North Dakota.
Corn on summer-tilled land, espe
cially at the more southern stations of
Garden City, Kan., Dalhart and Am*
rlllo, Tex., showed a marked Increase
in stover yield over other methods of
preparing the soil. The Increase, how
ever, wis not sufficient to make it the
most profitable except at Scottsbluff,
Neb.
Corn as a grain crop has not been
produced at a profit at eight fit the
thirteen stations by any method. But
wfien a Value of four dollars per ton
la assigned, to the stover fodder,
corn has been profitably grown by
Bome~«iethod at all but one of the sta
tions.
No one method of seedbed prepara
tion stands out as essential to the corn
production. Thus ths prevailing con
ditions with relation to farm labor,
farm capital, type of soil and weeds to
be dealt with are the prime factors In
determining differences In practice.
TO SUCCEED WITH ALFALFA
Rather Particular Crop, Requiring Osr>
tain Soli Conditions—'Wonder
ful Fssd for Stock.
Almost every farmer Is Interested in
growing alfalfa. Some have tried It
snd failed. Mm/have succeeded and
are reaping the benefits of this won.
derful crop for live stock farms.
As a hay crop It excels all others In
yields, feeding value, drought resist
ance and soil enrichment Tet It la
not advisable to attempt to grow al
falfa under all circumstances.
It Is a rather particular crop, re
quiring certain soil conditions and
proper treatment The beginner in al
falfa growing must first of all be a
student of alfalfa. He must study ths
crop and learn Its requirements. It
he Is not willing to pay attention to
such Important details as inoculation,
■ liming, proper seeding methods and
cutting at the proper stage, he had
better not try to grow alfalfa.
