Lightest Draft and Easiest Managed-
Hinton, N. C, July 25, 1899.
AVakefield Hardware Co., Greensboro, N. C.
Gentlemen I have this to say about the buck
eye Disc Drill I bought from you last season. It
was late when I got it and I had to start it to work
in the mud, but that lid not hinder it from doing
the best work of any drill I ever used." It is the
lightest draft, the easiest managed and handiest
drill I ever saw. With a little team of mules I
drilled in over four and a half acres in half day
for Allie All red, and my-team was not any more
tired when I quit than when 1 started. It has the
best fertilizer feeder to be found on any drill, and
is the handiest about putting on more or less fer
tilizer without stopping the team. It works all
right on ' rahy land and has not given me any
trouble. To my notion it is the best drill made,
and if I had to buy again, I certanly would buy

Gentlemen The Buckeye Drill I bought of you
last fall has given entire satisfaction. It does all
that is claimed of it. I am well pleased with it.
Yours truly,

Is the Best Drill Sold.
Greensboro, N. C, July 17, 1899.
Wakefield Hardware Co., Greensboro, N. C
Gentlemen In regard to the Buckeye" Disc
Drill bought of you last fall, I wish to say that in
my opinion it is the best drill sold. I looked at
all the drills in your town before I bought, and
while I could have bought a drill of another make
cheaper, I paid you more money for a Buckeye, be
lieving that (4the best is always the cheapest." It
is a very light drill, does its work perfectly and to
my entire satisfaction, and if I had to buy another
drill it would be a "Buckeye."
Yours truly,
W. H. Pitch ford.

CARR A CANDIDATE.
Announces He's in the Sena
torial Race Kind Words
for His Opponents.
In an interview in the Richmond
Times of Saturday Col. Julian S. Carr,
of Durham, announces that he will be
a candidate for election as United
States Senator, to succeed Marion But
ler, whose term expires March 1901.
Coir Carr said in the interview with
the Times: - -
"Yes, I am a candidate for the
Senate to succeed Butler, and am in
the race to win," said Col. Julian 8.
Carr, of North Carolina, at the Jeffer
son last night. "I have some good men
against me," he continued; "there's
F. M. Simmons, chairman of our State
Democratic Committee, and a thorough-going,
astute politician ; ex-Governor
Jarvis, twice governor of North
Carolina, and a former Senator, and
Mayor A. M. Waddell, of Wilmington,
who has also served in Congress, and
whose part in the late troubles give
him a good place in the hearts of the
white people.
"If I win J shall feel that I have
been greatly complimented, for all 'of
the other aspirants are high-toned,
Christian gentlemen, who stand well
with the people.
"Our campaign will not be charac
terized by a display of acrimonious
feeling certainly so far as I am con
cerned. My opponents are all my
personal friends."
Col. Carr felt confident that he could
win in a contest before the public, but
he was not so sure that the opportuni
ty would, present itself for such an ex
pressiorrof the popular will.
Bright Outlook for Unilford.
President Hobbs, of Guilford Col
lege, came in yesterday afternoon to
attend the meeting o! the State Board
of Examiners. ."We had' the best
opening in our history this year," he
said, when asked about Guilford Col
lege. "We added the department of
biology this -year and 1 put it in the
hands of Mr. T. G. Pearson-, a graduate
of the State University, who will also
have charge of the museum of natural
history, a large part of which he has
collected himself. Profs. Wilson and
Hodgson attended Cornell for post
graduate work this summer, the one in
chemistry, the other in English litera-l
"New books are being added to the
library and more students are entering
advanced classes than ever before.
The outlook for the year is very bright.
Prof. Cobb, of the University, recently
gave the first lecture of the season,
which was very fine. Our total en
rollment is now 151 and more are to
come in yeU- We have the finest stu

Prayer Cure in Kentucky.
We do not vouch for the veraci
ty of the following story, the scene
of which is laid in the blue grass
region of Kentucky:
"Miss Celia Williams, the twenty-year-old
daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
Enoch Williams, of near "Forest
Springs, has been confined t' her
room for over two years and for
many months to her bed. Her!
physicians had given up all hope
of her recovery. Tuesday of last
week she exerted every power with
in her and rolled oS the bed to her
knees, praying God to hear her
afflictions and restore her to health.
Then the thought came to her of a
neighbor family she bated bitterly.
She got up, walked to the neighbor's
home barefooted,' and made apolo
gies for bet ill feelings agiinpt
them. After this she walked over
the neighborhood a distance of
three or four miles, and there was
not a mark or scratch on her feet
when she returned home. She
claims to be divinely healed and to
be entirely cured of all ailments.
Although she had not taken a step
for months and had to have her
feet placed on a sheepskin on ac
count of their tenderness, she walks
on them now without pain. Miss
Williams is now going about wher
ever she pleases .and suffers no
pain at all."
. Out of the Mouth of Babies.
. Even the preachers get warning
sometimes. At a certain meeting
not far distant a young hopeful
was present and having become
tired of the usual posture was tak
ing it eee-saw across a bench.
The preacher Had just read out bis
hymn and the leader of the sing
ing was about to raise the tune
when young hopeful suddenly ex
claimed, "Preacher, thar's a big
stinging worm." The worm in
question was meandering its way
on the preacher's umbrella. The
leader did not lead for some
minutes but was at loss to find the
tune. The preacher proved equal
to the occasion by saying, "There
is a worm which dieth not," and
following up the quotation with
appropriate remarks upon it.

A BIG RAILROAD FIRt:,
Over Half a Million Dollars
Worth of Property
Burned.
Cincinnati, Ohio, 8ent. 30. Fire
which was started at 1.10 o'clock a. m
to-day in the center of the freight de
pot of tne Cleveland, Cincinnati. Chi
cago and St. Louis (Big Four) Rail
road, destroyed railroad property esti
mated to have been worth between
$500,000 and $1,000,000. Large fac
tories between the railroad and the
river and on the other side, the cen
tral passenger station, the large office
building of the Big Four and the
Grand hotel were in great danger.
Guests of the Grand hotel were awak
ened but the fire did not cross Third
street. Whole trains of loaded and
empty cars were destroyed.
An effort was made to draw burning
cars away, but it only resulted in Ret
ting ihem on the main track where
they burned and destroyed the ties and
warped the tracks so that access to the
passenger station was cut off.
The loss was almost wholly, restrict
ed to railroad property and; freight.
The former can be approximately esti
mated, but the freight loss cannot be
computed for some time. All the re
cords of the freight oifice were burned
and it will only be by collection of
data from, shippers and consignees
that an adequate idea of the loss can
be obtained.
TAX ON LUMBER DEALERS.
i I"
Great and Small Fare Alike
Under the Law.
A correspondent writes to the News
and Observer to enquire whether there
is any difference made in taxing lum
ber dealers and saw mills in the Reve
nue Act. The act imposes a tax of $20
on lumber dealers, $10 for the county
and $10 for the State. There h no tax
on saw-mills that eaw for.cash. The
correspondent writes that he saws lum
ber on the shares and sells his part of
it. The Attorney-General says this
makes him a dealer within the mean
ing of the law. -
The word "dealer" was substituted
for trader" In the law as it once was
because of a decision of the Supreme
Court thai a "trader" is a man who
handles merchandise without changing
its form. Under this construction a
lumberman who sawed and sold mil
lions of feet annually paid no tax. To
overcome this, "dealer' was substituted
and now every man who sells lumber
as a business, whether in large or small
quantities, is a dealer and is liable for
the tax. The law undoubtedly works
a hardship on email dealers like the
correspondent, but the tax is upon the
vocation not upon the volume of busi
ness transacted. Raleigh Observer.

A Faith, Core Epidemic, i
Last Saturday's Philadelphia
Record says that faith cure tenets
helped to kill Miss Amelia N. Nul
ish, 78 years old, at the Methodist
Home for the Aged, Philadelphia,
on Wednesday, and Coroner Du
gan, at the inquest over her -remains
yesterday, roundly condemn
ed "this new-fangled fantastic
creed." j
The jury found that Miss Nulish
bad died of old age and Bright's
disease, but that phe had aggra
vated these ills by refusing the aid
of a physician and abstaining
from food, relying almost wholly
upon prayer for her bodily suste
nance. But the coroner and jury also
learned the more startling fact that
a dozen other old women at the
Methodist Home have been so in
fluenced by a faith curist as to
adopt similarly dangerous tactics.
These aged inmates' belief in! the
power of faith extends even to the
question of food, and they gravely
announce that a half hour upon
their knees by the bedside will do
them more good than the best meal
ever prepared.
Protection for Our Peanuts.
Sai Francisco, Sept. 28.--A
circular letter is being framed by
several of the large wholesale nut
merchants in San Francisco, to be
circulated among the eel.'ers and
growers in California, Virginia 'and
other peanut raising states, asking
signatures to the petition to Con
gress to raise the tariff on peanuts
from the half cent duty to at least
3 cents. The object is to shut out
Japanese peanuts, which are large
ly imported and can be sold at
much less than the domestic product.

EARTHQUAKES IN ASIA.
Men, Women and Children
Buried in the Ruins of
Their Homes.
Constantinople, Oct. 2. It is esti
mated that 1,500 persons perished in
the earthquakes in Asia Minor. The
first 8bocic occurred at 4 o'clock the
morning of 8ept. 20th, and lasted forty
seconds. The effects were appalling.
Whole villages were completely de
stroyed. The earthquake was felt as
far as Scio, Mitylene and Smyrna. The
latest advices from the stricken area
show that men, women and children
were buried in the ruins of their dwell
ing places before they realized their
danger. Numbers of bodies still lie be
neath the debrif . About 500 persona
were killed at Hakeni, and 500 at Do
nizil, where three-fourths of the build
ings fell. There was proportionate loss
of life In many of the smaller villages.
The disturbance has not yet mbslded,
although its strength appears to be
spent.
The shocks continue almost dally,
bnC with no great violence. The popu
lation Is encamped In the open. ' One
consequencej of the earthquakes is the
subsidence of the level of Aldni dis
trict by two yards. 8ulphurbus springs
burst out In the Valley of Noander,
and the country between Aidln and
Danizli became fnll of crevices, out of
which flowed muddy water with suf
ficient volume to wash away a flock of
1,000 sueep. The. villagers of the Val
ley of Noander report that for several
days previous to the catastrophe do
mestic animals were greatly disturbed,
bellowing, bleating and barking.
