BECOLLECTIONS OF A "COHFED."
Remembers With Gratitude Kindness
Shown Him in Baltimore.
Mr. George W. Paschal, of Wake
Forest, N. C, sends The Baltimore
Sun a summary of a statement
made by Mr. J. Dowd Cheek, a
Confederate veteran, which will
doubtless prove of- interest to the
people of Baltimore. The summary
is as follows :
"Mr. J. Dowd Cheek, an old Con
federate soldier of Siler City, Chat
ham county, N. C, desires to re
turn thanks to the good -people of
Baltimore for the kindnesses shown
him when he was on his way from
IIIO yilBUU a -- ui . ... .
wants them to know that he still
remembers them, and is always glad
to hear of their prosperity from
our merchants, who buy the greater
part of their goods in Baltimore.
"Mr. Cheek, whOLbelongea to me
Forty-first North Carolina Heavy
Artillery, was captured at Fort
Fisher and imprisoned at Elmira.
When he was released, owing to
some delay in procuring transpor
tation, he consumed all his allotted
rations before he left Elmira. The
train he was on took three days to
make the trip from Elmira to Bal
timore, and for all that time he was
almost without food. But he had
hardly reached Baltimore, which he
did early one morning, before he
and about 20 of his companions
were met by a widow, who took
them to a restaurant and ordered
the keeper to provide them with
whatever they wanted to eat and
drink.
"After that he found nothing
but offers of food and assistance
on all sides. He was given $4 or
$5 by as many ladies, and one man
gave him an order to bis store for
a suit of clothes, which he failed
to go for, but brought the order
home in his pocket. A gentleman,
to whose store he and a comrade
went to buy some tobacco, not only
gave them tobacco in abundance,
but also compelled them to stay for
dinner with him.
"For all these and other acts of
kindness Mr. Cheek feels love and
gratitude for the people of Balti
more, and he wants them to know
it. He is now 72 years old, but has
the .heart of a young man, and
with a, wife still young and two
daughters lives prosperously and
happily on his farm near Siler
City, N. C."

More Hog Less Cotton. ;
The following editoral from the
Washington Post is very applicable
to Guilford county and North Caro

"We have had several education
al campaigns in the United States
in which tariff and finance have
been exhaustively treated, but there
are some millions of our citizens
who have not yet mastered the rudi
ments of economic science. Among
these are many of the farmers in
the cotton states The 'Jonesboro
News is published in Clayton

best agricultural counties in that
state. We learn from the News
that the farmers of that fertile
county are in the habit of buying
their.meat of dealers who import
it from other states. The News
tells them that they must turn
their attention to hog-raising, be
cause they cannot stand the strain
of paying 6, 7, and even 8 cents a
pound for pork and giving in pay
ment 4 and 5 cent cotton. The
Newesays it has heard farmers
say that if they could nd as ready
market for their crops as they do
for cotton jfhey would turn , their
undivided attention to euch pro
ducts, and it proceeds to point out
one such crop. You can raise as
much meat as you please," it says,
"and sell every pound of it without
sending any out of your county."
That county and state could com
pete with any section in raising
corn and all other products requir
ed for feeding and fattening hogs.
Georgia should export hog pro

"The'city of Atlanta, with 125,

says that those inhabitants have to
send to Kentucky for cattle, to
Tennessee for hogs and chickens,
to Illinois and New York for but
ter, to Wisconsin, Ohio, and Penn
sylvania for flour, even to Canada
for many kinds of root crop; and
that for all of this there flows out
to'the points named a stream of
money which is just as ready to
flow into Clayton -county, if her
farmers would only undertake to
win it.-' - ,
Killed in a Prize Tight.
Grass Valley, Cal., Sept. 28.
As a result of a prize fight held
here last night between Jim Pen
dergast, of Sacramento, and Chas.
Hoskins, of this place, the latter is
dead. Hoskins was knocked out
in the tenth round and although
physicians worked upon the man
all night, they could not save his

all the seconds were: placed under
arrest. '
You Must Not Forget.
A successful business man said
that there were two things which
he learned when' he was .eighteen,
and which were ever afterward ot
ffreat use to him namely : "Never
to lose anything, and never to
forget anything." The story o
this lesson is printed in the Coun
trv Gentleman. "' V
An old lawyer sent the young
man with an important paper, giv
ing him definite instructions what
to do with it."
"But," inquired the young man,
"suppose that-I should lose it,
what shall I do then?"
"You must not lose it," said the
lawver. frowning.
"I don't mean to," said the young
W I '1 J I
man, "but suppose a snouia nappen
to.
"But I say vou must not happen
to. I shall make no provision for
such an occurrence.- You must
not lose it.
This put a new strain of thought
into the young man's mind, and he
found that if he was determined to
do a thing be could do it. He
made such a provision every con
tingency that he never lost any
thing. He found this equally trueabout
forgetting. If a certain matter of
importance was to be remembered,
he pinned it down on his mind,
fastened it there, and made it stay.
He used to declare:
"When a man tells me that he
forgot to do something, I tell him
he might as well have said, I did
not care enough about your busi
ness to take the trouble to think of
it afcain." -
"I once had an intelligent young
man in my employ who deemed it
sufficient excuse for having neg
lected an important task to say, 'I
forgot it.' I told him that would
not answer; if he was sufficiently
interested he would be careful to
remember. It was because he did
not care enough that he forgot. I
drilled him with this truth.
"He worked for me three years,
and during the last year of the
three he was utterly changed in
this respect- He did not forget a
thing. His forgetting, he found,
had been a lazy and careless habit
of mind, and he cured it."

gossip and
r Queen .Victoria's Money
I Queen Victoria is the first sovereign
of England who ever had anything to
leave, says The Chantanqoan. All of
her predecessors upon the throne be
queathed fine assortments of debts to
their posterity, which parliament was
called upon to pay, andjwhile Victoria
permitted the people to be taxed to set
tle the private obligations of her uncles,
George. IV and William IV, she herself
paid the debts of her father, the Duke
of Kent, "with fall interest, and has sev
eral times settled the liabilities cf thb
Prince of Wales to the extent of several
millions, of dollars.
j There is a great deal of
speculation in England as to the dispo
sition the queen has made of her im
mense property. The bulk of it will un
doubtedly go to the Prince of Wales,
and it is supposed that her best estates
are entailed upon her successors with
the' condition that they shall never be
mortgaged or alienated in any way. It
is also assumed that the palace at Os
borne and a liberal amount of bonds
and leases will be. left to her favorite
daughter, the Princess Beatrice, who is
also expecting to inherit the fortune of
Empress Eugenie, whose son, the ill
fated prince imperial, was to have been
her husband. Princess Louise, the wife
of the Marquis of Lome, has no chil
dren, and her husband will inherit the
immense estates of the Duke of Argyll,
so that she will be well provided for.
. Ice Cream In New York.
Ten million quarts of ice cream are
annually sold in New York, " said a
prominent manufacturer, "most of
which, as yon may surmise, is con
sumed during the hot weather. At pres
ent the daily consumption is no less
than 65,000 quarts per day. Occasion
ally the figures soar much higher. They
ascend with the mercury. It is nothing
for one of the three or four great ice
cream manufacturers to dispose of 35,
000 quarts a day in this weather. In
winter there is a great dropping off in
the consumption. Not more than 11,000
quarts make the daily average.
j "The value of the annual output is
some hundreds of thousands over the
3,000,000 mark a sum equivalent to
the entire commercial activity of many
small inland cities. Of course when I
quote these figures I take into consider
ation all the small dealers who manu
facture for their own use.
j "The capital directly invested in ice
cream making in New York is in the
neighborhood of $1, 000,000. This busi
ness gives employment directly and in
directly to at least 8, 000 persons. ' '

Springfield (Mass.) Republican.
During the winter of 1897 Mr.
James Heed, one of the leading cit
izens and merchants of Clay, Clay
county, W. Va. struck his leg
against a cake of ice in such a
manner as to bruise it severely.
It became very much swollen and
pained him so badly that he could
not walk without the aid of crutches.
He was treated by physicians, also
used several kinds of liniment and
two and a half gallons of wiskey in
bathing it, but nothing gave any
relief until he began using Cham
berlain's Pain Balm. This brought I
almost a complete cure in a week's
time and he believes that had he
not used this remedy his leg would
have bad to be amputated. Pain

Otis a Catholic.
Apropos of the charges of van
dalism in Catholic churches in the
Philippines by American soldiers,
a correspondent calls attention to
the fact that in a recently publish
ed book issued by a Paulist father
a list is given of "American con
verts from Protestantism, in which
appears the name 'Colonel E. S.
Otis, U. S. A.'"
"Fellow" In the Bible.
The New England papers are having
a pleasant little battle over the origin
and exact meaning of the word "fel
low." They have dragged forth ex
amples from the four corners of litera
ture, but by some strange freak they
have missed the word as used by Tyn
dale. The free use of old days allowed
him to write In translating Genesis
xxxix. 2. "And the Lord was with Jo
seph. andr he was a luckie fellow."
That looks at least quaint to most of
us, but the effect is accentuated when
we come to Mark iv, 41: "What felowe
Is ' this? For booth winds and see
Obey him," and Mark ii. 7, "How doth
this x felowe blaspheme?" Again in
John vi, 52, we read. "How can this
felowe give us his fleshhe to eat?" Let

early Bibles. Philadelphia Press.

of partridges about 2 years old which
were hatched on his pVemises. They
