Quite a number of northern, vis

J. J. Avery, who came here

that our citizens feel justified in

It is said that the late Josiah
Quincy was at one time convers
ing with Daniel Webster upon the
importance of doing even the
smallest thing thoroughly and
well, when the great man related
an incident concerning a petty in
surance case- which was brought
to him while a young lawyer. The
fee promised was only twenty dol
lars, yet to do his client full jus
tice, Webster found he must jour
ney to ' Boston and consult the
Law Library. This involved an
expense of about the amount of
his fee; but after hesitating a lit
tle, lie decided to go to Boston and
consult the authorities, let the
cost be what it might. He gained
the case. Years after this, Web
ster was passing through the city
of New York. An important in
surance case was to be tried that
day, and" one of the counsel had
been suddenly prostrated by ill
ness. Money ' was no object, and
Webster was asked to name his
terms and conduct the case.
"It is -proposterous," he said,
"to expect me to prepare a legal
argument at a few hour's notice."

should look at the papers he con-

Buncombe county to Philadelphia
and it was a good deal longer In
1876 than it is in 1902. In fact,
when the Buncombe county man
got as far as Greensboro with his
apples he found himself stranded,
for his money had run out.
It was a pretty stiff proposition
getting to Philadelphia with an
exhibit of apples and no money,
but North Carolinians have been
tackling stiff propositions all their

But when they saw his apples
then patriotism for old Buncombe
was stirred to the depths. They
chipped in, raised the necessary
money then ar.d there, and started
him on with his apples.

Darkness broods o'er valley and

Keeping goodly pace with me.

Where trees and flowers grow.

Still haunts the dreaming air;

How a Collection Was Taken
to the Philadelphia Ex

Perhaps it is not generally
known in the North that in this
part of North Carolina are grown
some of the finest apples that all
the United States can show!
. Away back in 1876, a Buncombe
countv man Asheville is the
county seat of Buncombe county
got together a collection of
golden pippins -and other fine
apples which he and his. heigh bor
had grown, and started with them
for the great Centennial Exposi
tion. He was not a man who had
traveled much. He had but
limited knowledge of what other
parts of the country could do in
the wav of am)le-growing, but he
had faith in Buncombe county
Furthermore, lie pelievea, it any

apples than he'liad to show as the
