a man to offer a friend a drink in the priyacy of his home on election day
would make him guilty if he lived within five miles of the polls and. this
is true. But the use of liquor in elections in this State is fast becoming a
scandal, and the only way to stop it is to stop. It's by no means unusual
for jugs of liquor to be kept near the polls on election day and the num
ber of voters who can be influenced by a drink is astonishing."

on a matter that concerns North Carolinians :
A Most Meritorious
Scheme.
most meritorious schemes that has come before Congress for years. It
would not only be of-immense advantage to commerce and prove the
means of saving a vast deal of property and many lives by affording small
vessels a way of avoiding Cape Hatleras, but in the event of war would be
invaluable to the government as an inland route for gunboats, torpedo
bcatgdestroyers and similar craft. The estimated cost $2,000,000 for
enlarging the present canal into a ship canal is a mere bagatelle compared
with the benefits that might accrue to the government alone."

ny" tneory
printed in
to say on the same subject :
"It may be that if the farmers and others who are so insistent that the
acreage in cotton should be reduced, would preach, in season and out, that
the first duty of a farmer is to live at home that is, make his farm as
near self-sustaining as possible they would more nearly accomplish their
object. For it is true, that the larmer by a diversification of crops can
not only make his farm self-sustaining, but he can aleo thereby improve
its productivity at less cost. Diversification and living at home force a
curtailment of the cotton acreage and at the same time add to the real and
lasting independence of the farmer. All the farmers raising their own hog
and hominy would make them absolute masters of the cotton situation.
There would then be no need of township and connty meetings and Inter
state conventions at New Orleans. Hog and hominy is the directorate of
the cotton growers, collectively and individually."

Governor Glenn has written a strong letter to Senators Simmons and
Overman, calling their attention to rumors that the Legislature of South
Dakota is about to pass a bill authorizing that
The South Dakota gute to go upon tne market and purChase at the

suggestion of such action on the part of the South Dakota Legislature
grows out of the fact that that State holds judgment against North Caroli
na in the sum of $27,000.00,for bonds issued for the construction of the West
ern North Carolina railroad. Governor Glenn's letter to Senators 8immons
and Overman reviews the history of the bonds and urges them to make in
vestigation concerning the reported action of the South Dakota Legislature.
He properly says that North Carolina wishes to do what Is right about the
payment of these bonds, but declares that "the pound of flesh" policy is
out of all reason. It seems that the individuals who donated these bonds
to South Dakota purchased them at 25 per cent, and it would be a reason
able settlement to pay them at that price with interest lor the time they
have been due. Governor Glenn's letter to our United States Senators is a
strong paper an able presentation of the matter.

Representative Burleston, ol Texas,
raises what would be termed in his
State a "mighty" lot of cotton. He is
often-times unalbe to get labor to pick
it. During the last cotton picking
season the negroes got up a big revival
meeting, and there was little work
done and hundreds cf puonds of cotton
were being lost. Some of the best
picsers "got religion" and went off to
preach. One of the best hands on the
place went to Mr. Burleson one morn
ing and told him of a vision.
"I see de big white clouds a-rollin'
aroun' an' a-tumbling an' a turnin',
an' on dem clouds was de letters P. C.
blazin' fire."
"Well, what of it?" Mr. Burleson
asked, suspecting that the cotton-picker
had "got religion." "What do you
thiak these letters P. C. stood for?"
"Dey stans for Preach Christ," de
clared the darkey, "an means I'se got
to go out an preach."
"Not at ail, Mose, not at all," an
swered Mr. Burleson. "The letters
P. C stands for Pick Cotton, and you

"My position at present," said Wil
iiam Jennings Bryan to seme friends
at the National Hotel a day or two ago,
"is that of a young man down South
who was in love with a fine young wo
man. He proposed one night and she
accepted him. After the protestations
of undying affection bad been made a
hundred times the young man went
into the night and looking np at the
briliant stars raised his arms above his
head and said : "Oh Lord, I aint got
nothing ag'in nobody."
When Representative Bartlett, of
Georgia, was trying his first case the
attorney opposed to him was brow
beating a witness.
"How far were you standing from
this delenaant at the time?" the op
posing counsel asked the witness.
"Seven yards two fet and seven
inches," answered the witness.
"Positive about that, are you?" in
sisted the lawyer.
"Yes, I am positive," the witness
said. I thought some fool lawyer
would ask that question and I measur

Truckers and Gardners Should Plant
Largely of Early Peas.
The severe weather which we have
experienced during February, and
which has extended far down into
Florida, is going to make a consider
able shortage in early green vegetables,
and on this account our markets will
be very bare of green vegetables until
late in the season. Indications are
that the earliest crops of green vege
tables will sell at good prices, both in
home markets and the large cities
Nortb.
The opportunity presented to our
southern truckers and gardeners, to
make money out of peas and other
early truck crops is one that they
should not fail to take advantage of.
Early peas are one of the first crops to
come in and can be safely planted just
as soon as the ground can be gotten
ready.

THE BEST 0? LIFE.
The Spectator.
Not till life's heat is cooled,
The headlong rush slowed to a quiet
pace,
And every burblind passion that has
ruled
Our noisier years, at last
Spurs us in vain, and weary of the
race,
We care no more who loses or who
wins
Ah ! not till all the best ot Ufa seems
past
The best of life begins.
To toil for only fame,
Handclappings and the fickle gusts of
praise,
For place or power or gold to gild a
name
Above the graye whereto
All paths will bring us, were to lose
our days,
We, on whose ears youth's passing
bell has tolled
la blowing bubbles, even as children
do,
Forgetting we grow old.
But the world widens when
Such hope of trivial gain that ruled us
lies
Broken among our children's toys, for
then
We win'to self-control !
And mall ourselves in manhood, and
there rise
Upon us 'from the vast and wludless
height
Whose dearer thoughts that are unto
the soul
What stars ar to the night.
WIEELESS MESSAGE.
Talking a Long Way Tarongh Air.
Norfolk Landmark,, 16th.
Information sent over of the Sea-
coast Telegraph Line, received at the
United States Weather Bureau yester
day, was to the effect that the
DeForrest Wireless Telegraph station
at Cape Hatteras was in connection
with a station maintained by the De-
Forrest system at Key West, Fla.
Dr. Ives, who ia in charge of the
Hatteras station, yesterday morning
made an f ffort to send the mysterious
current through the 800 miles of
space intervening between the two
stations. . His in leu' Ion was to send a
message to DaForre-st, who is in Key
West, but the first connection was
made with one of the stations on the
north end of Cape Cud, whicb Is al-
iiiot a-i far away.
About noon the Key Went station
answered by signal code that it was in
communication with Hatteras. Then
a regular conversation was carried on.
Cape Cod "butted in" again, and,
through Cape Hatteras as a telay, a
message was sent almost the entire
length oi the coast through the air
from Cape Cod to Key West. The
former place reported the thermome
ter at zero, while the latter placa re
ported it at 70 degrees.
The messages sent yesterday are con
sidered the longest message ever eent,
reaching as they didjthrough a distance
of 1,600 miles, with ouly one relay
station intervening.
A very high potential spark was used,
that wouid destroy any Instrument that
comes within short range.
The jHatteras station has been un
dergoing a stae of pei faction for eev
eral months. It stands out on the
cape, and the fether waves have an tin-
inrerrupted course, both to Key West
and to Cape Cod.

Itocre County's Old Gun Factory.
Moore Connty News.
Mr. A. I). Williamson informs ua
that whore the old Shields will is til
ting near the town of Elisc, there use;l
to be a factory for the manufacture f,t
$uns and lilies, owned and operated ly
David Kennedy, who settled tbrre
some time about 1790.
In 1812 be took a contract to furnish
the government with 1100 guns for the
British war, which guns were knowu
as "Yangers."
He employed a number of skilled
mechanics in his factory and manu
factured a number of guns, some f
which were of fancy make and sold fir
a good sum.
The buildings are remembered by
some of the older people, the factory
itself having been washed away by th
big freshet of 1850.
Among the mechfinics employed at
this factory were rcoa whose descend
ants form a portion of the present ret
ilers of that section : Blly William
son, father of A. M. D. Williamson,
Lev. is Garner, John SiEilb, Jethro
Deutiou and Keudrick 1 In Key were,
among the employes who helped to
make these guns.
The latter, Kendrick Husey, trovl
to Texas and was one of the pioneer
manufacturers of uln, and wo re in
formed introduced the process (.f !, -.!-ing
cotton in Tex ts by the .Id fashu ti
ed "cotton ecrew." He amassed a con
sider .ble fortune in Texas.
Tradition says that the founder of
this gun factory, David Kenncdy.want
ed to know more about the process of
making guus and rode horseback all the
way to New York in order to stud) the
art of gun marufucture, and to gain
access to the fuctorics, be took his fii
die and banjo, on both of which he
was a proficient performer, and would
give an exhibition within the factories
to the employes, at tfc t.-s f'uis
studying the different processes of
manufacture until be hud acquainted
himself with such secrets as he desired.
Having done this he returned nd
made improvements in his arms until
there were none superior.
Mr. Kennedy was the great-grandfather
of ,our townsman, Mr. L. 1.

may give sotr.ething morn of this
factory.
