The News of the County as
Seen by. Dur
A Letter From
Buckher, N. C.
Dear readers, I hope you will
tardon me for delaying my letter
I promised to write two weeks
asro. But was just so busy I
couldn't. We just closed our
meeting at Peeks Chappie, bad a
fine meetine twenty four stands
approved for Baptism and a large
number of others restored and a
general awakebig among the
church Bro.
S- T. Ilensley. assisted in the
meeting, he is a great and good
man and is destined to lead many
souls to Jesus. Some of our pas
tors would do well to get him to
hold their Revivals provided they
want their churches built up and
sinners saved.
If all the churches were like
Peeks Chappie us pastors wouldn't
have such a hard time, those
good people were like the wise
men that followed the Star of
Bethlehem after they had seen
the infant Christ they opened up
their treasurers and presented
gifts. Peeks Chappie Church,
and the good people of that place
opened up their -teasurers and
paid the preachers over fifty dol
lars for the meeting.
Our school opened up fine its
true' a college up here in the
mountains looks a little irregular
but there is one hundred and. six
ty nine on Roll and others that
will enter. Professors Buckner
and Jervis said they never seen
a brighter set of children, this is
not unreasonable for some of the
worlds greatest men and v women
are from the mountains.
I understand there is quite a
howl about something I wrote in
the last letter its quite strange
indeed that some of our good
Brethern of Middle Fork would
get offended at the truth, now I
didn't write half that had been
said, in fact I just made somj illu
sions; I have always been a good
friendloltbe Middle Fork people.
I have cone and buried tbeir
dead, and in fact assisted them in
every way I could, they are a
noble people aud for the rea&on
of their nobility I certainly.' did
hate to see them bring reproach
on their good came, and at the
same time the paper that contain
ed the piece, wasn't read as it
oucrlit to have been just a few
people take the paper and. some
will rpnrl and then tell what they
read , and its h ard to comprehend
the meaning of anything unless
it is- thoroughly stu died ,' so I hope
the many readers of The News-
Record will see that I meant to
cast no reflection on the Baptist
Church at Middle Fork. But
what I said was based on facts,
which I can establish any time
called on. And no doubt it serv
ed a eood purpose, , has caused
some bad feelings at me; But if
I can be of service to people ! am
going to if they do'get mad, ;

Items From Spring
Creek Y alley
Editor, News-Record, will you
allow me space for a few Items
from the Spring Creek section.
The people are enjoying a short
rest after getting through with
their crops. The wheat crop
though small was moderately
good. Corn as a general thing' is
good. Some damage by the re
cent dry weather.
Business appears to be getting
better and the merchants are get
ting ready for a good Fall trade.
The public schools have opened
up well and the teachers 'appear
to be a-wide -awake set of young
women and men, and appear to
be wanting to do all they can for
the great cause" of education.
Some of the teachers are taking
a great interest , in getting their
school houses seated with desk
seats. . ; " ' '
The good people of Bluff made
a box supper some time ago for
thb purpose of getting money to
buy furniture for their school
house; I am informed that- they
raised one hundred and ten "dol
lars. ($110.00) dollars. I am re
iably informed that the popu
larity of their splendid teacher
MissTexie Briggs, was a great
help to them and that she led in
the getting up of the supper.
The good people at the Woody
School house, led by their effi
cient teacher, Miss McPeters, al
so made a box supper for some
purpose some time. ag9..,
. Miss Altha Kay teaching at
Roaring Fork has raised money
by subscription to buy desk seats
for her school house. Miss Kay
is an ideal teacher and , is tnnch
liked by the people. .--
One friend who is the chair
man of the Board of Education
for this County deserves great
credit and honor for his stand for
the cause ' of education and the
general uplift of the people. It
is a great inspiration to the
teachers to have such a man at
the head of the work, to whom
they can go for help and infor
mation in their duties. ... .
R. E. Mason & Company, are
making some splendid road for us
near Bluff, ; N. C. ' Mr. Mason
and those' associated with him
in the road work are nice gentle
men '
We hope the Highway Com
mission wiil have them to rebuild
the old road below Bluff, toward
Hot Springs.
Wishing The News-Record
great success. .;.

A Trip to Virginia
A touring party consisting of
R. A. Edwards, and two sons,
Carl and Aries, Jesse Edwards,
L. C. Sprinkle, and W. K; White
with the exellent management of
L. H. Tweed, as Chauffeur, has
just returned from points in N.
C, and Va., making 743 miles in
Auto, without a single break, this
however was not due to good
roads the entire way, for there
are milts of road not. yet finished
but will be in the near future.
This party including myself en
joyed viewing the beautiful
scenes of nature that crown the
mountains tops of the old North
State. Then passing from this
into the progressive Agriculture
section of Piedmont, N. C, and
Va., we did'nt make very fast
time the first day on account of
rain and muddy roads and ' occa
sionally a stop to lend help to the
Chauffeur who was so unfortunate
as to be driving a heavy machine
on muddy roads, but it does'nt
take an old lumberman long to
suggest some plan to set 4500
pound car out of the ditch; our
Ford forded mui and water and
landpd us in Charlotte, N. C, via
Hickory Nut Gap the first day.
The second day we had for the
greater part better fording but
some unfinished roads, so we
Forded the second day from Char
lotte, N. C, to Danville, Va.,' via
Salisbury, Greensboro, High
Point, Thomasville and Reidville,
w6 visited a number of places in
Va. where we -found1' the Madi
son boys keeping pace with times
as they did while here. Too one
week we feasted with G. G. Til-
Iftrv. L. M. SDrinkle, and V. D.
Peek. Carl, and Aries Edwards,
heincr so unfortunate as to not
have any of the fair sex to Cook,
W. R. White, rolled up his sleev
es and lended a helping hand,
takine particular pains to wash
good and clean after dinner was
prepared. After enjoying one
week with the boys we returned
home in old Madison, via, Wins
ton Salem, and Black Mountain.

Sohth's Honor Not For Sale.
(Manufacturers'' Record.)
ThA sucffestlon made here and
there that the settlement of the
south for or against European
oMint.ripa n this world cataclysm
is for sale to the highest 'bidder

will be influenced not by the eter

ntliiuli if nan ha.rt.er its cotton, is
the grossest insult ever offered t)
VY 4 V Vrfk -w ' '
a srreat people;
Tn those who sucrsrest sucu
things believe that . the south
places a bale of cotton above its
honor? . Do they believe that tl e
south esteems a temporary finan
cial loss, however hard to" bear
as justification for selling its soul
to the devil? '
In this we take no account of
the sentiment for or against, the
allies or for or against Germany,
hut merely the suggestion that
the south would so lightly value
its honor as to barter it away lor
inii hponmpi in thouht. if

hicrhest bid.
Peverish forever such a siander

The Orchard and
Garden in the j
South. 1
. Begin work on the fall and win
ter garden.
Purchase seed now for your or
chard cover crop. The clovers
are especially recommended.'
Give roBe bushes a thorough
summer pruning and they will
produce an abundant second crop
of roses.
It is a good plan to let the hoga
run in the orchard for a little
while every few days to pick up
the fallen fruit.
See to it that no fruit are vege
tables go to waste. Home can
ning of fruit and vegetables will
save them all. , .
Ten vegetables that may be
planted for ' fall use are beets,
cabbage, cauliflower celery, kale,
onions, rutabage, spinach, toma
toes and turnips.
There is probably no farmer
who does not want to economize
at this time of uncertainty. One
of the surest ways to economize
is to have a fall and winter gard
en, which will save many trips to
the grocer's and many dollars of
money.
In Souih Carolina it is possible
to grow vegetables the year round
With a well arranged succession
in the home garden, one can have
fresh products on his table even
in midwinter. Clemson Ag?icuk
