" The Agricultural Department
at Raleigh has received Z: a" letter
of inquiry from one; Mr. Carl
Heinrich Vogel, ' of New i Jersey,
who is desirous of procuring " a
farm in Wilkes county. :,-Mr. Vol?
gel seems to be in earnest both
about wanting to come to Wilkes
and about the 'fine sober drink' '
made of "apple whiskey." As a
matter of general information, it
may be . stated that it will be. no
trouble for Mr. Vogel to get 'ship
ped in secrete! all the "apple
whiskey'VJie may want for "sober
drinks," but everybody from the
Aid Societies to the Whitling
Clubs, will know it as soon as' the
"bottles" arrive and' will flock
in large audienees
and offer their free
to his home
assistance in
aiding him to keep "sober" as
long as the drinks last.
Here
is
the letter: ; -
f'Dear Sir: I like to buy a
Wilkes farm, can I slay" down
some of the " wood and use" for
fields or is there the legislature
that the forest must be forest for
ever, like at Germany. There
must-be one-fifth of the farm for
est. One agent wrote to.jne we
must use the regular lawful farm
iu this State- What means that?.
Is there another law . concerning
purchase, "thai in other States?
I mean if I buy that ground re
corded by the court be I then not
the real owner because I be still a
stranger? Have-I to live some
years iu that State before I be the
real owner? Is there any special
iaw or legislature at North Caro
lina? And,of which style is that?
North Carolina is temperance
State or prohibition I know and
I don't like - saloons or whiskey
stores. But I like still liberty and
suppose I "get me shipped in
secrete some bottles of apple
whiskey to make me at home my
own milk punch (that is a very
fine sober drink ) , is- there any
hard punishment I use such
drink lonly for my own use
Please give me the particulars
about the Legislature in that qua
ter. "

IIOV TO MAKE A ROAD DRAG.
. .Our friend D, F. Shepherd, of
Ready Branch, was in ouV of
fice a few days ago and told us
how he had made a splendid
road drag f bra very little mon.
ey. Here are the directions as
well as we remember: -
Take two pieces of lumber
4x10, 7 feet long for. the two
runners or drags. Sharpen the
bottom edge from the back so
that the- front edge "remains
straight. On , the front lower
edge of these runners fasten a
flat piece of iron about 3 inches
wide and as long as the runner
Set the runners about 30 inch
es apart and the hind runner
should be set sufficiently to the
left o f the front one so- that!
wbea moving at an angle of
abour4& degrees the, two will
"track.,r T be runners are fas
tened together by three pieces
of 2x4r lumber about 20 inches
long, which are notched into
the top of the runners and nail
ed well. These should be put'
on square across, and a wide
plank nailed along the top to
Ftand on. Two holes are bored
in the front runner near .the
cross-pieces, In which a log
chain is fastened by running
through the holes and wrap
ping around the cross pieces.
The stretchers cau be hitched
at any point in the chain so as
te make the drag run at any
angle desired.
It doesn't cost much to make
a drag like this and it will do
the work of two or three dozen
men when properly managed.
Every overseer in the county
should have one.
IMPORTANT INVESTIGATION.
Congress, especially the dem
ocratic House, is in an investi
gating frame of mind. Just in
one day last week the bouse
decided to investigate tbe shoe
graft business, wherein it is
charged that one Boston Arm
by the use of money, has pro
cured all the contracts for fur
nishing shoos aud boots to the
army and navy; the steel trust
the sugar trust: the wool trust
and the consular services where
it is charged that favoritism
and partiality is being used:
Already committees have been
appointed to investigate the
expenditures of the depart-:
ments. the "lame duck com
missioners,
tern" of the
postofBce depart
men t' and many otherr things.
There is plenty, room for. inves
tigations and it is to be hoped
theywiil result in good for
eveiybody." '----.7."'
