Where on earth could a woman, or man either, do what that splendid Robeson county woman has done, almost single-handed and alone ? Besides the money crops raised by her and sold this early in the season, rest assured there is plenty to eat on that eastern North Carolina farm. It is safe to say that there are cows and hosrs on that place. All honor to Mrs. Byrd. She is the heroic type of woman that North Carolina is proud to claim.
