IThe Department of Agriculure Wants
Applications Frm Farmers Who
Wish to Hire the Young Men
: Brought to the State From Across
the Water.
That the plan of the North Carolina
department of agriculture to secure
Immigrants from Scotland has proved
successful is evident from the fact that
the department has continued the work
of inducing worthy young men from
that country, who wish o learn farm
ing, to come to this state.
This work was started by the late
Professor Brunei-, who made a trip to
the Highland country, and told (he
people of the advantages of North
Carolina. The work of securing these
young men to work on the farms of
the state is being prosecuted by the
department, and the following letter
is being sent out:
"The department of agriculture wish
es applications from those desiring to
secure for farm help some of the young
men from England and Scotland who
are coming to this state 'through its
efforts.
"These young men wish to learn
farming, and expect to make North
Carolina their home. Most of them
are well educated and are from some
of the best families. They will ex
pect to be taken into the family of
the farmer and paid $10 per month for,
their services. This aplies to men
without experience. Of course those
with experience will expect higher
wages. As farm help they are, as a
rule, very satisfactory. A large truck
er who has several of these boys, says:
'Any farmer wil bo fortunate to secure
Buch help.'
"If you are interested in securing
any of thisc lass of farm help, write
the department of agriculture, Raleigh.
N. C, and your name will be enter
ed and the first available lad sent you.
Please state the character of farming
you are engaged in.
"Yours frulv,
'ELI AS CARR,
"Secretary."

A Sunday School Teacher Asks Her
Class of Tots to Name the President
of the United States, and One Little
Girl Contends That the Fifth Dis
trict Congressman is the Man.
The Democratic jonvention which
was held recently :n this city made
a deep impression on the minds of
the children, which will wear off only
with time. Not only were the children
deeply impressed but every one in the
city, both white and black, were, to
a certain degree,' in a state bordering
on demoralization during that week.
One lady was heard to say that she
could get hardly'any work out of her
servants. The convention was, to
Charlotte people like a circus parade
lasting a week,., r
A little incident occurred Sunday
which shows how the childish mind
was impressed with the work of the
convention, and how the leading fig
ures in that contest, like gigantic he
roes, still remain in their minds.'
A Sunday school teacher was teach
ing her class of little tots, and the
lesson was something about the kings
of Israel; and, of, course, the question
came up as to the rulers of the pres
ent time.
"Who is the president of the United
States?" asked the teacher.
"Roosevelt," came the answer from
every little mouth but one. A little
girl with that look in her face which
is always there when one thinks that
the rest have missed a question which
one knows, said "Kitchin."
To this little- mind the Fifth dis
trict congressman-had superseded ev
ery one else in her estimation. Wasn't
his name in the mouths of every one
for a week, as well as the two other
candidates, Craig and Horne; and
didn't Mr. Kitchin get the nomination;
and why all the fuss and turmoil un
less Kitchin was the biggest man in
the country; and wasn't the biggest
man in the country the president?
This was truly a child's logic.

LIKE FINDING MONEY.
R. H. Jordan & Co., the popular
druggists, are making an offer that is
just like finding money for they are
selling a regular-50 cent bottle of Dr.
Howard's celebrated specific for the
cure of constipation and dyspepsia at
half-price. In addition to this large
discount they agree to return the mon
ey .to any purchaser whom the specific
does not cure.
It is quite unusual to be able to buy
fifty cent pieces for a quarter, but that
is what this offer really means, for
it is only recently, through the solici
tation of Druggists R. H. Jordan &
Co. that this medicine could be bought
for less than fifty cents, who urged the
proprietors to allow them to sell it at
this reduced price for a . little while,
agreeing to rell a certain amount. The
result has justified their good judg
ment for the sale has been something
remarkable.
Anyone who suffers witb. headache,
dyspepsia, dizziness)' ; sour stomach,
specks before the eyes, or any liver
trouble, should take advantage of this
opportunity, for Dr: Howard's specific
will cure all these troubles. But if by
any chance it should not, they will re
turn your money. '
The specific is very pleasant to take,
coming in the form" of small granules
and there are sixty doses in every
package. It is especially convenient
when traveling, and no one should
start on a journey without a bottle of
this reliable medicine.

Items From Hiddenite.
Hiddenite, N. C, July 14. Sunday
was an ideal day here. Some went to
the little Sulphur Springs, Baptist
church upon the. hiil, where the Rev.
John A. Smith, assistant pastor of the
East Avenue Tabernacle of Charlotte,
preached a fine sermon, from Hebrews,
6-9, to a congregation of about fifty
people, half of which were from Char
lotte. There were forty arrivals Sat
urday end Sunday, mostly transients.
This is a good place to rest ; the
fare is good, accommodations better,
and the water is best of all. There
are many things to interest and amuse.
Mr. It. B. Fox, of Charlotte, has been
unwell for a day or so, but is better.
Dr. Leeper, the resident physician, had
10 go to Charlotte for treatment, and
Dr. Stevenson, of Mooresville, is sup

Breen, J. A. Yarbrough, C. B. Swinney.
We have two mails, a day, and when
it arrives there is much commotion,
every body lining up against the coun

Owen Wister.
Owen Wister, author of "The Vir
ginian," and other popular novels,
was born , in -Philadelphia, July 14,
1860, the son of Owen Jones Wister
and a descendant ; of Thomas Wynne,
who r emigrated to' Pennsylvania as
one of the companions of William
Penn. He was educated in a prepa
ratory school at Concord, N. H., and
graduated f rom Harvard University
in 1888. Having , made the law his
study, he was admitted to the bar in
Philadelphia in 1889, But his love
for literature : was greater than his
love for law and he abandoned the
practice of the- legal- profession in
1891 and went to work with his., pen.
It was not : until . nearly ten years
later, however, that he' scored his
first great literary .success with "The
Virginian," and became entitled to a
permanent." piaeef among the leading
American novelistSi' Since then he
has written a number of successful
novels and . many magazine articles.
MATINEES at the Star, Wednes
days and Saturdays . from 3:30 to
5:30 P-' M. Take, the children. J
Asheville, N. C, July 14. The trial
of the Rev. W.G. Wiiltaker, charged
with using the mails for fraudulent
purposes, was resumed before Judge
Newman in the United States district
court yesterday morning. Whitaker's
trial has been on since last Friday. He
is the man who was in Buncombe a
year or more ago posing as the "rep
resentative" of the Whitaker heirs and
collecting $10 and upwards from these
heirs to aid in "prosecuting" the claim
of the heirs for millions of dollars in
the Bank of England left by Capt. John
Whitaker during the Revolutionary
times. ,
Whitaker claims that there is a vast
sum of money in England belonging to
the Whitaker heirs. The parson was in
England several years ago and some
color attaches to his claim. The gov
ernment contends that Whitaker is a
fraud; that he is not the "representa
tive" of the Whitaker heirs and that
in using the mails to carry on this al
leged fraud he violated the laws of the
country.
The government has brought from
London to Asheville to testify in the
case an employe in the Bank of Eng
land. This employe is Harold Vesey.
While the cost of bringing the witness
across the water is considerable, the
government believed it necessary in or
der to make out its case against Whit
aker. No few of those persons who
paid Whitaker sums of money to prose
cute their claims as heirs of the late
Capt. John Whitaker still believe that
Whitakor is sincere and that ultimately,
they will receive large sums of mcnev
from the "estate." j
One witness testified that when hoi
paid over his money to Whitaker he
told the parson that if he was perpe-;
trating a fraud on the people they
wouldn't leave "a piece of him big
enough for a bug-bite." This distinctly
new phrase was not at first grasped
by the court and the attorneys and the
witness was compelled to repeat the
convesation several times.
Mrs. Rogers, another of Whitaker's
victims, testified that she believed
Whitaker was sincere when she paid
her money and that she still believes
him sincere. There are others in Bun
combe who, still believe in Whitaker
and although they lost by his opera
tions, are lending him aid in his fight
for liberty. There are other victims,
however, who have turned against
Whitaker and are bitterly prosecuting
him.
Harold Vesey of the Bank of Eng
land, was the star witness yesterday.
He testified that there was no fund or
estate in the Bank of England belong
ing to the Whitaker heirs. Vesey was
subjected to rigid cross-examination
by Thomas Settle of the defense, Set
tle informing Vesey of certain things
connected with the Bank of England
which the Bank of England official
was evidently ignorant of. The case
will consume all of today.
Much interest attaches to the calling
of the First National bank of Ashe
ville cases Wednesday. It is believed
that District Attorney Holton will stub
bornly oppose the motion of counsel
for the defense to quash the bill of
indictment on the ground, as indicat
ed by the defense, that four of the
jurors sitting on the grand jury at
Greensboro had failed to pay their poll
tax. District Attorney Holton is secur
ing evidence relative to this point and
when the cases are called there will
l.e considerable testimony introduced
concerning the action cf this grand
jury which was in session more than
ten years ago. Records and officials
from three counties have been called
for.
