Mr. Alex Couoway a tenant on
Mr. S. B. Holland's land is the rich
est poor man in our county we
think. He has four bbls. good pork
200 lbs. bacon, 100 lbs. lard to sell,
150 bushels sweet potatoes, enough
corn to last him a year, besides
about 40 turkeys and 100 chickens
and near $50.00 in cash money, the
proceeds from his cotton crop this
year. Alex brags of his good farm
ing and we tlimk he has a right to
brag, we forget to mention his
syrup, we don't know how much he
has of that, guess about 30 gallons;
this is the proceeds of a one horse
farm so we hear, but Alex is a two
"horse" team within himself so he
savs and depends entirely on farm
iug for a living; not many big farm
ers have done that well. AV.

tliat. the year has been a pro-speroiis j
one with the churches. It is esii-i
mated that there have been about
live thousand conversions during the
year, but the .statistical report is not
vet complete.
After a verv ani mated debate
lasting one hour and a half. K. v.
Jno. T. Abernathy was ro addiniil -
ed into the conferenoe. a
Kev. Dr. Law, of tin
Anieiican
Bible Society was introduced to the
conference and made an interesting
statement about the work of the
Society,
Rev. Dr. lloss, editot of the
XashviHe Christian Advocate, was
presented to the conference. Dr.
j lloss spoke at some length concern
ing the great organ of tbe .southern
Methodist Church. Dr. lloss is edit
ing one of the ablest religious jour
nals in America, a paper that every
Southern Methodist can be justly
proud of. Dr. lloss. remarks were
in a very happy vein. Dr. Hoss
said that he had came to the edi
torial chair of Southern Methodism
without having bad any previous
experience in conducting a public
journal. He had served in nearly
every other office from plowing a
one-eyed mule upon a poor farm in
Tennessee to a professorship in a
great university, and yet he was a
stranger to the editorial chair. The
Doctor said that the hardest place
he had ever been in is that of the
editor's chair.
The Conference unanimously
passed a resolution stating its hearty
endorsement of Dr. Kilgo's position
on Christian education.
The report of the special commit
tee appointed at the last year's Con
ference to select one of the editors
of the North Carolina Christian
Advocate was submitted aa follows:
"After conference with the pie
sent editors, the committee was un
able to come to any agreement, two
members of the committee concur
ring in the plans of tho present
editors and two members non-con
curring. Your committee is there
fore unable to advise any line of
action to the Conference in this
matter."
The report was referred to the
committee on books and periodi
cals. In the afternoon the Conference
Historical Society held its armu;U
meeting. A paper of rare merit was
read by Professor Bassett of Trinity
College.
Dr. Bassett's subject was the
"Xature and Problems of the Work
of tho Historical Society." He
said :
Eev. Dr. Pone, was re-elected
president of the society. Rev. T. N.
Ivey secretary'. Rev. W. II. Moore
was re-elected to prepare a paper on
the life of Rev, Hezekiah Leigh to
be read at the next meeting of the
society.
At night the church extension
society held its annual meeting.

to Mrs. King.
The ancient road from San An
tonio to Bi ou nsville has been closed
by Mrs. King's fences, and there are
no gut' s. There is no road law in
ihat country. The only way to get
from Brownss il!e to Alice is by a
stage route of forty hours. The
stage carries mail for a large part of
Mexico. In the entire distance
there is not. a single settlement, be
cause the tcnitory traversed belongs
to -Mrs. King. The region is wholly

The owner of this principality is
a generous and liberal-minded wo
man about sixty years of age. She
docs much good and takes care of
her people. To each laborer on her
setates she gives a cow. Her ranch
of Santa Gcrtrulis is tho largest in
tho world. It is boundeft by Cor
pus Christi Bay-for a distance of
forty miks, and by barbed wire
fenccj for JOO miles more. From
her front door to her front gate is
thirteen miles, and she can drive in
her carriage sixty-five miles in n
straight line without going off her
own premises. Her house is like a
castle on the Rhine a typical bar
onial mansion. It is situated on a
slight eminence, surrounded by the
modest dwellings of her dependents
and by fields of corn. Beyond on
every side, is a green wilderness of
tncsqiute and cactus.
The chateau is as completely
furnished and as handsomely equip
ped as any mansion on Fifth avenue,
New York. No luxury that money
can buy anywhere is lacking to the
widow, who, by the way, is the
daughter of the first Presbyterian
missionary to tho Rio Grande.
Corpus Christi is the terminus of
a railway, and from that point a
continuous stream of wagons carries
ice and other necessaries to the
ranch. Mrs. King lives for several
months of each year in a palace at
Corpus Christi. Her son-in-law, R.
J. Kiebcrk, is general manager of
the ranch on which are 200,000 cat
tle of improved breeds. Long trains
of freight cars are made np at Cor
pus Obristi to carry Mrs. King s
cattle to the East.
To rue the vast estate costs about
$100,000 a year. For every twenty
miles ot barbed fence there is a man
to make repairs and see that no
break occurs. In the old days to cut
a fence was an offence likely to re
sult in the death of the perpetrators
of the act. Three hundred cowboys
are regularly employed, 1,200 ponies
being set aside lor their use. Phil
