"Because he wanted the Enterprise and its little windy edilor and Us business manuger to stand first, second and third." The Enterprise suggested last week that the Record took the scabby side of every question. We would like to state that it would be impossible to take hold of the Court House Ring or its defender, the Enterprise, without taking the scabby side. Superior Court begins here on the 24th day of this month for t two weeks' term for the trial of criminal cases only, with vl, a. Justus of Rutherford coanty, Judge pres.ding. Judge, Justus is one of the newndges appointed by the Governor mU a vacancy that wai created in the re-districting of the Stte by the ' last legis lature. He is a man eminently qualified for the high position which h hjlds-i. JIimiudJaotJ judicial turn rather than that of a politician. ' In his short career as Judge he hu mora than come ud to the most sanguine' expectations of his1 most enthusiastic friends. Judge Justus will do as much as any Judge in the State to teach litigants that a court house ' is a temple of Justice In the true sense of the word and that each and every case shah be tried, judged aud determined according to the surrounding ' circumstances and merits of each case as developed in a fair trial in open court; and that it is not necessary for lit gauts to muster up all of the po litical heelers of the surrounding country and bring them to Court iu the hope that some undue in fluence can be had ou the officers of the Court to prevent their easel from being investigated and dealt with according to the ; gravity of the crime. - 1 : Fruit GroilD In ladlson. : ; Madison Countt. Rkcobd: I have been thinking ever since you began the publication of 'your val uable paper in. our county," that I would send you some abort contri butionsrclatire tothedetelopemeat of our natural resource,'- knowing as I d that your prime object is to place our county on a higher finanoial plane, and , the highway to a substantial and abiding pros perity, the - foundation ot which shall be our climate,', water power, timber, mineral, soil and pluck and energy' onr Pple' - Now with all this array of natar. al wealth, what shall our people do to better their financial condition? In reply, I would advise those who have water power, -mineral, timber, eta.,' to do their -utmost . to either develops it or bring the - same ; to the attention'ot'.some person or firm who is able and will do so, . TcTtEose who have land suitable for the production of . clover, wheat, corn, potatoes cabbage, etc., etc., let them plant such crojis and see to it that a better system -of cultivation shall be inaugurated In ot ler to assure tbe very best results.' But the question comes home to the MJion county tiller of t! s toil every year since tbe American of our' bright' type's '$bf tobacool "what can we produce as & cash crop tbat,,when placed upon- the markets of the world, will bring cash returns and give new impetus to energy and inspire young men to stay at home and build up the waste places?" Is there-any crop or agricultural line In our county that holds out such . inducements to those wbfr would accept flattering invitation? ; Most assuredly there is. By this answer I most earnest ly refer to commercial horticulture, It is well known, and has been for generations past, that we possess in a very high degree, the soil, climate and every other natural' eimlition necessary to produce apples of the very highest degree of " excellence. All that stretch of country' from the Yancey county line,' following the Walnut mountain' vreatwardly to the French ' Broad : river, then dowu said river to the State line, then with the State Une-eat'wardly to said Yancey county line, . then Southward to said Walnut moun tain, covering about $ne third of Madison county, more or less, is al mos'. exclusively the very finest soil, climate, etc., to insure the best results it planted to up-to dat commercial orchards" and managed in up-to-date orchard methods. The writer has always believed that this special' line- - of agriculture should be more vigorously brought to the attention of our people, who own fine orchard. lands; but for the last two years Jie has given this branch special study, which more fully emphasise $he importance of the subject to jbi&V . We know many f armers who are making arrangements to plant large orchards in tbe near future. One has already ordered 450 apple trees and has 200 already growing and will jlant at least 1000 next year f. J,hree rotbers bought three hundred-each Vncbwin buy largely next jrear; atil another is prepar ing land for fifteen hundred trees amt iitsr rnd rrtm ijanji ve hundred, wi you see "itaa young meu are- thinking am thinking along the right line; while (fouie are thinkin'g'TFgbtly others are going to get left at Usual. Let us illustrate what might be done: two young men have cash on hand $200 each . A loans his at 8 interest tor ten years, amount $360, B purchases ten acres of good mountain land well adapted to growing commer cial apples, at a cost ot $100; buys one thousand trees , (or one hun dred dollars, making two hundred dollars. ' Now for results, Say.the tretsif well kept, would the sixth year bear one bushel each, equal one thousand bushels; the seventh year' bear two bushels each, k tqual two thousand oushels; the eighth year bear two and buehnls each, equal two thousand five hundred bushels; the ninth year tear three bushels each, equal three thousand bushels; the tenth year bear three and I bushels ' each, equal three thousand five hundred bushels; a total of twelve thousand bushels. These apples, at 6U . cents per bushel would yield six .thousand dollars! 1 Some one will, object to this calculation as being too large; very well, cut it into, say they will bear only bait that amount and B will still have three thousand dol lars.' Someone may be prejudiced against the apple ' tree and say thai even this if too extravagaut: alright, my friend, cut bun into again and you still haye fifteen hundred dol lars left, now deduct price... of lnd and trees at 8". interest for the ten years and B still , has . eleven hundred and fifty dollars left. Now suppose B has been too lasy to at tend-to his orchard during ' this time and gave some poor man, who needed? the money, fifty dollars pi year to look after it for him,, then B would still ' have, six hundred and fifty dollars and his one thous and trees just beginning their long and useful career. Now if any readers of -your paper are really in terested In this great money-making business and would like to in vestigate further, if. they will "call on th undersigned, or address with two cent stamp forreply.be will gladly give sny information which be has acquire! from exten- sive reading on the subject. - Respectfully, J. R.'SAMS, Mars Hill, N. C. ; v , A Contest We print below' three accounts of the burning c-f the Big Pine church and school house, written by three students of Prof . L. D. Edward's school. They were sent to this paper with the request that the editor decide i which of the three articles was the best, his de cision in the Case was to be known by tbe one that appeared in the We most respectfully decline to sit as Judge in such a close contest' and will give the question a jury trial and we hereby empanel the readers of the Record to sit togeth er, consider Ine evidence and ren der their Verdict accordingly. The burning of the church and school-bouse of North Fork Big Pine, occurred on the 20th of Jnn- uaij, 1902. Prof. L. D.Edwards and sister were teaching school here. I am sure that they were having cne amongst the best schoolfin Madison county. Tbe burning of the building oc curred at night while the students were preparing their lesions for nextday. The wind was blowing very hard. When it was first dis covered by Prof. Edwards one corner of the building was in a flame of fire. Several psrsons gathered around the burning building, but on account of the wind blowing so hard it was im possible to save it. O I how sad it was as it fell, the bell which bed called us into books so many times, rang two or three times and it sounded so lonesome. Not many of the students knew what had hap pened until next morninir, as they began to gather around the ruins. We all wore sad faces and began to wonder if the people would arrange for the school to go on, as all seem, ed to be interested in their books and wanted school to go on in some way. sure enough the good citizens arranged another bouse in sight of the'one which was burned down. School is now going on, ! although the present building is not as nice looking aud convenient as the other one was. But where there is a will there is a way, so those that want to can learn just as much as if thay wore going to school in a fine bouse. The citisens are making arrangements to build auother house as soon as possible. Attic Wild. Ou Monday nght, Jan, 20, 1902, we had a bad disaster at North Fork oi Big Pine, our school house was burned by an unknown hand. The building would seat between two and three hundred pupils. We were having an excellent school at the time the school bouse burned down. The people of Big Pine went ahead and fixed another house that will seat from 50 to . 60 per sons and we are having a fine school now. Mr."L.,D. Edwards and his siBter of Mars Hill were teaching before the .building was burued, but Mr. Edwards is teach ing alone at the present. ' We hope and intend to hare a new school bouse soon. ... . - ? , - Huoh Postill. On Monday night, Jan,20th, 1002,' the house at North .' Fork Big Pine, which was used for school and church purposes, caught fire and burred down. The fire was discovered. X suppose, by Afr. J. H. Davis about 10 o'clock p. m. He says that when be got to the house it was on fire on the outside. M. TJ. Clark says that he was st the house about 9:15 p m. and that there was no fire thr-n J while meet of the people think it caught fire from a broken stove whxh sat nar ths door. Tb house was otie of Madison's best school buildings. .The spring term of school had just barely begun had 'just run two weeks and one day when this terrible disaster happened. - It was under the management of Prof. L. . . Edwards and his sitter. ----- j . --.-. t . . . - t , . not stop the school. No sir I the people of Big Pine' are interested too much in education to have their boys and iris stav out of school this spring, so the school was stopped only one week, just long enough for the men and boys to meet aud repair a house which stands in flight of the ruins of ths former. The house that burned would seat from two to three hun dred people; tbe house that was repa'red will seat about 00 persons. H. C. Col will, Jr. Bnckner lews.
