Writing to the Asbeville Gazette News, Miss Helen Morris Lewis cites a remarkable instance of suc cessful truck farming by an Ashe ville lady., She says: "I wish to relate some points about the accomplishments of a woman engaged in the same indus try (truck farming) for the past year. In this cue less than a half acre of land was the area planted, and on a portion of this area the follow ing fruit bearing products: cher ries, plums, ras berries, strawberries grapes and gooseberries. From all of these considerable fruit was harvested, except the plums, that were killed by frost. The land was ploughed and smoothed by a man in the early spring, the rest of the work was done entirely by one woman, except the digging of potatoes. She devoted perhaps not more than an eighth of a day to this work, as she had a large and flourishing flower garden to attend to, beside a greenhouse, numerous house plants, and many household aud outside duties. Now on this land the following vegetables were produced in abun dance- Spinach, English peas, let tuce, radishes, potatoes, onions, beets, carrots, artichokes, crook neck squash, patty pan squash, wax beans, string beans, lima beans okra, tomatoes, cauliflower, cab bage, corn, peppers, cantaloupe, pumpkin aud celery, besides every variety of herbs. These vegetables have provided amply for the years use of a family, and furnished five varieties each day for two months to supply a boarding house table. Sufficient has been laid by for seed for the coming year, and a couple of bushels of corn and a peck of sunflower seeds, and several stacks of fodder are still for sale. "The proceeds from the sale of a large quanity of these vegetables enabled the producer to visit the St. Louis Exposition and study the latest scientific methods in agricul ture, horticulture and floriculture. There are no doubt many ins tances of successful truck farming at Asheville, but I ri*e this one as it has come under my special ob servation and shows what unflag ing industry, with a favorable cli mate and fertile soil can accomplish., It may serve also to encourage other women in a special line of work for which many are adapted by taste and inclination " Shall we Education ? In his assay on Burns, Carlyle uses these words: "An educated man stands, as it were, in the midst of a boundless arsenal and magazine, filled with all the weapons and engines which man's skill has been able to devise from the earliest time; and he works, accordingly, with a strength borrowed from all past ages. How different is his state who stands on the outside of that storehouse, and feels that its gates most be storm ed, or remain forever shut against him! His means are the common est and rudest; the mere work done is no measure of his strength. A dwarf behind his engine may re move mountains; but no dwarf will hew them down with a pick axe; and he must lie Titan that hurls them abroad with his arms." Here we have expfcsKd by a master the modern educational creed. And its truth will be more evident in this century than it was in the last. If any one will take the trouble to read the paragraph quoted above and study what it means, it will give him a new idea, perhaps, of what education means, and 1 believe it will help to answer in the right way our question— shall we educate ! —Oxford Ledger.

WILLIAMSTON, N. C„ FRIDAY, JULY 7. 1905. The Little Old Story. There was once a little old man and a little old woman, and thev lived in a little old house on a lit tle old farm. They had a little old cow and a little old horse and a little old dog and a little old cat. One day the little old man dug him a load of potatoes and started off to the little old town to sell them.* The little old woman took a little old bucket and went out to milk the little old cow. But no sooner had she begun her milking than the little old cow picked up her little old feet and kicked the little old woman over. She was So badly hurt that she could not get up, so she lay on the ground calling to the little old dog, "Tipsy Tipsy, O Tipsy!" The little old dog came and walk ed around the little old woman aud knew not what to do. By and by she began saying, "Go for your master, Tipsy! Go for your mas ter, Tipsy!" The little old dog, who was sitting looking at her with his little old tongue hanging out of bis little old mouth, trotted off down the road to town. He fouud the little old man in a store, where he had just sold his potatoes and was puttiug his little old pocket book in his little old pocket. "Why, bless me, here's Tipsy!'' the little old man cried when h« saw the little old dog. Tipsy took the little old man's coat-edge between his teeth ami pulled at it. ' Tipsy, Tipsy! is there anything wrong at home ?' the little old man asked him; and the little old dog kept on pulling The little old man ran out to tht little old bitching rail, untied the little old horse, jumped iu his little old wagon, and whipped up tht little old horse to as fast a trot &■* he could travel. When he finally got to his little old house he saw no little old wo man anywhere about, so he quick ly drove back to the little old barti and there she lay, still groaning, on the ground. The little old man picked up tlu little old woman in his arms and carried her into the little old houst and laid her 011 the little old lounge Then they sent for the little obi doctor, and he came in his little old buggy with his little old fat gra> horse aud gave the little old wo man a little old pill, so that sht was soon well again. But they all knew that if it had not been for the little old dog the little old woman might never have got well, so they gave hitn tin best there was in the house to eat; but they sold that little old cow to the little old'dairyman, who lived in a little old house back of a little old hill. And every day the little old dog Tipsy would trot down to make a visit to his friend the little old cow —Grace McGowan Cooke, in April St. Nicholas. An Apology. A certain editor was visited in his office by a ferocious looking military gentleman, who exclaim ed excitedly as he entered: "That notice of my death in your paper to-day is a lie sir. I'll horsewhip you infptiblic, sir if yott do not apoligize in your next issue." The next day the editor inserted the following apology. "We extremly regret to annouce that the paragraph in our issue of yesterday which stated that Col Brimstone was dead is without foundation." —Harper's Weekly. Where are you sick?

The Sooth Needs Sixty Thous- and Laborers. "We could use for immediate employment in my state, as official reports show, as many as 60,000 laborers," said Hon. F. M. Sim mons, United States Senator from North Carolina, at the Ebbitt House. •'I doubt very much whether this army of wage earners would satisfy the urgent demand for help that comes from the farm, the fac tory, the lumber camps, the rail roads, and a dozen other sources. In every one of the ninety-seven counties of the stale the cry for men goes up and is unanswered. It is not because our population has diminished, for it has grown at a healthy rate, but the shortage of labor arises from changed condi tions. Twenty years ago the peo ple of North Caroliua and of other southern states were busy only in one or two ways; to-day they are working in many different direc tions. Industries have sprung up and multiplied and new employ ments have l»een created. A class of our white population has left the farms to work in the cotton mills; the whole industrial system has been changed. ' * "The hope of the south at this moment appears to lie in getting European immigration. Hereto fore the thrifty and industrious home-seekers from the Old World have turned their backs on the south, but henceforth an effort is going to be made to attract the hard working Swedes, Norwegians, Danes, Finns, and other north ot Europe immigrants to the states that lie south of the Potoma*. In this direction lies not only the so lution of the southern latior prob lem but the future well being of our section is bound up in it. "At present the blacks refusing absolutely to work for day wages iu the fields, constitute the bulk of our tenant farmers. The scope of their physical and mental efforts is limited, we might say, to cotton production Cattle given to them will lie mostly allowed to starve, and they refuse to raise enough corn to fatten bogs. The agricul tural resources of a rich region can never be develoj*-.! in this way, and that is why those who have given study to this subject know that the bringing in of while immi grants who uuderstand how to pro duce other things than cotton is vital to southern prosperity."— Washington Post Rebuffed by Lady. President Roosevelt is- telling a good story on himself regarding his recent visit to his Albemarle county farm, near Red Hill sta tion, Virginia. The farm is some distance from the railway station, and so the head of the nation. In-fore leaving Washington, donned an old slouch hat aud riding leggins, preparatory to a long tide on horseback to his plantation. He was gotten up as the typical Virginia farmer and looked the part. On alightiug from the train at Red Hill, as is his custom, he was shaking hands with the conductor, engineer and fireman, when he perceived a comely country wo man about to lx>ard the train. Rushing Up, the President gallant ly assisted her to the steps of th»- car, and grasping her hand cordial lv, gave her his well known "ex ecutive shake." The country wo man fought him off vigorously, out the President would not be de nied. As the train pulled out tlie indignant and bristling lady could no longer contain herself. Draw ing herself up, she gave the na tion's favorite a cutting glance and said, "Young man, I don't know who you are, and I don't care; -but I must say you are the freshest somebody I've ever seen in these parts." The President was greatly amus ed. and is telling the story every where. He says it's the coldest rebuff he ever received in his life. A President is not without honor save at his own railway station. — Richmond Times- Dispatch. The Wooing of Farms. The 120 marriageable young women who drew homesteads on the Rosebud Indian reservation in South Dakota have received pro posals from 10,000 men. Mosl of them have come by mail, from men who never saw the youug women and know nothing ab:ut them except that among the charms of each is a 160 acre tract of good land. It would look as if these 10,000 men and perhaps many more still remaining to be heard from would like to marry 160 acres, without much regard for the nature of the female incumbrance. There is nothing very, remark able about it. We have got used to it. seiug rich American girls tnar-y foreign titles and title foreigners marry American millions And even in humbler life the prac tice of marrying for money is not so uncommon as it might lie. But the remarkable part of the Rose bud incident lies in the fact that ever}' one of the 120 young women have refused the offers, have or ganized and announced that the only way to get into |heir favor is to work for it. The girls invite their admirers to come out and show what they can do in the way of plowing, sowing and harvesting. Suitors who prove by one or two seasons' work that they are indus trious and provident and in ever> wav competent to care for a farm will stand a chance. No others need apply. Now here is fine discriminating judgement. If a man is to marry for a farm he must lie be worthy of the farm. He who marries a woman is sup posed to have given reasonable as surance that he can support her. He who marries a farm ought to Vie required to show that he can maintain it.—Ex. A Useful Convert. Peace lovers though we lie, to us all there is virtue in skilful fist fighting in a just cause. There fore the thrill is at least pardonable which one feels 011 reading this ep isode which Dr. Rainford relates in his boolf, "A preacher's Story ol His Wbrk." The episode was in the midst of Dr. Rainsford's vigor ous struggle on the east side of New York: I remember one man in jpartieu lar, a big, strong tellow. Hecanur in and sat down in the Sunday school. I had some of the very best teachers I could find, and I al ways put the best workers I bad there. He began to talk in a way that a man should not talk to a lady, He was a little drunk. I saw the lady's face flush. I walked ovor and told him to get out. He would not move. I said: * "We are here to help you peo ple. We are paid nothing for it. Now, you are enough of a man to respect a lady. Why do you sit here and make it impossible for her to teach these boys?' 1 ~ He swore at me and would nol get out. "You don't want me to call a po liceman do you? Go out quietly." He jumped to bis feet, atid 1 saw I was in for a row. He was as big a man as I am. I did not call a policeman, but hit him hard er than I ever hit a man in my life and knocked him down. Then I stood over him and said: "Have you ha J enough?" He said, "Yes." "All right," I ansewered. "Now get out." - And he went. About three weeks after that we got into a scrimmage outside the Sunday school room with some toughs, and to tnv horror I saw, elbowing his way through the crowd, this same burly fellow, and I began to leel that .between him and the others I should lie killed when, to my astonishment, he walked up to the ringleader and said: "The doctor and me can clean out this saloon. You get out."—*- Selected. When vou Want a pleasant lax ative that is easy to take and cer tain to act, use Chamberlain's Stomach and Liver tablets. For sale by S. R. Biggs. HOT WEATHER. How Onr Imagination Affects Our Comfort. The human imagination is a wonderful contrivance. So far as we can read the will of Providence, it was provides for the pleasure and profit of man; a sort of auxiliary to the reasoning powers, supply ing missing links in many logical chains and dominating our lives in an overshadowing fashion which we seldom realiie until we closely analyze the share which imagina tion plays in our daily and yearly programmes. To an extent this marvelous power is subject to the will, although with some people the will is, to an astonishing de gree, influenced by the imagina tion. Often, too, that myterious faculty is affecting our minds and bodies when we are least aware of its agency. Thus it is an ordinary axiom in the medical profession that suggestion which, after all is an offshoot of the imagination, has a large part in the productiou of disease and the workings of a cure. In no more strange style is the in fluence of imagination seen than the manner in which it grips peo ple in summer, making them vic tims of the "heat habit" to their own great suffering and the discom fort of their friends. There is no denying, of co irse, that the aver age summer is productive of a vast auiouut of jiositive oppressiveness and actual disease, but—not nearly so much as the perspiring victim would have us believe. Whcu you start out on one of those sweltering, almost unbear able days, watch your mental pro- and yoriwill be astounded by the tiumber of times you needlessly remind yourself that you are suffering from the excessive temperature. This little intrigue of fate is apparently aided and abetted by nine-tenths of the l>eople you meet, too. They will call your attention to the fact that vonr collar is oil the verge of wilt ing; they will relate plenty of their own troubles resulting from the heat, and tell as many anecdotes recouutitig the deadly prowess of the sun as they can remember. This story telling counting house at which yarns of all sorts arc ex changed. is really responsible for the sinister conception which the majority of people gather of the danger and discomfort of summer weather. If every man went sen sibly about his business.lamenting the extreme humidity, of course, b«t not reminding himself and otibers of it constantly, there would lie infinitely less suffering and in cidentally infinitely less disease. Such reforms as these, however, are difficult of inauguration. They deal with a prevalent and inexor able human trait—gregariousness. Deprive mankind of its privilege of criticising the weather and you re move one of the greatest stimu lants to sociability. Still, if you want to minimi/e your own discomfort and that of others during the summer, and make the business of the doctor aud undertaker less brisk, exercise your ingenuity and find some other topic of conversation than the weather. Its trite, tedious and loaded with many evil possibilities.
