Pecans and English walnuts thrive in this section. The latter are an excellent quality of thin shelled nuts, readily crushing in the hand and very full meated The original trees were probablv planted by the English raining oomnanies that operated here about a century back. The pecan yield this year is es pecially heavy, there being in the neighborhood of L,000 long, tons in the whole crop, and this without any special cultivation or planting. This crop is eager ly sought by buyers, as the nut are. as.a rule, large and -of select aualitv. ' The price paid in the local market is about 3 yesoakh. arroba ($150 per 25poue4s.)The local commission men, however, receive about 8 cents United States currency per poond f . b. cars here. S far) Oct 29) there have been about 400 long tons shipped directly to the iTJnited States from this place, ' Pnoaih v on uinnnnr Will n shipped through Mexico City and other dealers not in Gdxaca.

' Windsor Ledger. We want to see the next legis lature slap a fine of $100 on all judges who fail to open court promptly at 9 o'clock on Monday morning. Some of the State pa pers, recognizing a necessity of some sort, propose to change the opening day to Tuesday instead of Monday. We do not see any good reason for tbis. If they are late on Monday, they will be late on Tuesday. Besides this, why eliminate a whole day when 99 per cent of the court dockets of the State are congested, and need more days devoted to them instead of doing away with any? Let the people have the benefit. The next Legislature should also make every office in the State, which is directly respon Bible to the people, elective from J. P. to governor. Then make every county put all the county officers on the salary ba sis. Many thousands of dollars would be saved by this latter sys tern, and every county in the State is full of good, competent men who would gladly fill any of the county offices for much leas I than the fee system amounts to. ' We doubt not that there are some offices that could be filled bv equally as capable men for just half the salary now received The argument that cheap sala ries would mean cheap officers is ail bosh. That argument is not borne out bv the counties in the State that have adopted the sala ry , basin, ,. Some of the., biggest and richest counties in the State have it, and every how and then we see in the papers statements from them shoeing how much hits been saved. We will have more to say on this subject later, and will advocate other measures that we believe to be in the inter est of the people and should be passed by the approaching Leg islature. Good Woman Passes Away. 4 Roanoke News, Dec. 12. Mrs. Susan A. Thomas, widow of the late Captain E.I. Thomas, of Northampton county, died at the home of her daughter,: Mrs. D. B Zollicoffer, here Tuesday night, about twelve o'clock, aged about 85 years. Mrs. Thomas was formerly Miss Susan Garner, and at a ten der age in life she connected her self with . the children of God, joined the M. E. Church, and for more than seventy years she has been a true, consistent and de voted Christian woman. She leaves only one child, Mrs. D. B. Zollicoffer, and a large number of grandchildren. She was a de voted mother, and grandmother and her life and example stand out in bold characters for all that is worth emulating. Mrs. Thom as had been in great affliction for some time, yet her heart and mind were young and active and her Bible was her daily compan ion. She'searched well its pages and found comfort and consola tion. Up to the hour of going to prear arrangements for the fun eral had not beep completed, how ever, the funeral will be held at her late residence in Northamp ton county and the interment will be in the family square near her old home. May she rest in peace and may the afflicted fam ily find consolation in the thought that all is well with her soul. : The price of the Times only $1 per year-Anybody can pay tbis. . Severn Rets.

A woman and her home wre burned up the other dav in Springfield, Mass., through ig norarce of the quite commonly known little old pair of facts that gasoline left open will quickly fii a closed room with a gas some times more dangerous than gun powder, and that rubbing silk may produce a spark. The worn an left a silk waist soaking in gasoline in a bowl in a bath room to clean it After a time she went back and began rubbing the silk between her hands, pro ducing a spark which ignited the gasoline fumes and blew up the place. Had she only known Conservatism. Sometimes it is ignorance. At other times it i i thoughtlessness or carelessness. The result in fataility is the same. Insurance Department, Ral eigh, N. C. v Good Paper Like Banqoet. A well-conducted paper is like a banquet, says an exchange. Everything is served up with a view to selection. Helo yourself to what you want and do not con demn the entire spread because picklea and onions may be includ ed. If you do not relish them, somebody may find them palata ble. Be generous and broad enough to select gracefully such reading matter from a paper as will be agreeable to your taste. You, m an individual, are not compelled to swallow everything. We do not all think alike on every subject, and it is a , good thing, as it makes more variety, and variety is the spice of exis tence. Sel; ! ; HltlM.IAVr CBUKiiH.
