A Destructive Storm.
Mooresville, July 27. A very dis
tressing report comes from the Cente
nary neighborhood of Rowan and a
part of Iredell county, where last
Tuesday night a destructive wind and
hail storm did much damage. On the
plantations of Mr Arch Nesbit and
the widow of the late John I'reeze
the cotton fields were completely
stripped of their foliage and the stalks
beaten down. Other plantations that
. were visited, and where more or less
damage re u' ted, were those of Hugh
- Belk, Tom Goodnight, George Sea-
mon, Robert West and Henry G
' Brown. At the home of the latter
gentleman lightning killed five hogs.
Farmers who were in town yesterday
tay that, in all their .lives, they have
. nener seen hail do so terribly destruc
tive work. The cotton fields ase
studded with bare stalks in places anu
pea fields are beaten level with the
jjround.
Odell and Ritchie Snftested.
Editor Tribune: The time is draw
ing near in which we must decide on
the candidates for the various c uaty
offices, and each cf us hkve our friends
whom we would like to see fill these
offices, but in selecting we must con
sider qualifications, efficiency and their
claims upon the people. Our present
Senator made a fine record in the last
session of the legislature, his influence
and popularity gave him a prestige
there that few members enjoyed, the
number of bills that he succeeded in
- passing and their importance show his
wisdom and influence in that body.
These are matters to be considered in
' selecting a man for this important of
fice; the experience of that session fits
him the better for another term; his
being a mill man is also a reason for
his representing this county in one
branch of the legislature, as the mill
interest of the state and our county is
second to only the farming interest and
legislation for both is necessary, and I
would like to see Mr W R Odell re
turned to the senate
Then we should select a farmer to
represent the agricultural interest in
the house of representatives. I would
like to offer Mr Geo E Ritchie, a

of Cabarrus county's best farmers. He
baa lived all his life in this county,
except he four years in Virginia in the
defense of his country; his record there
as well as at home is one to be proud
of; he has raised a large family and
this has kept him too busy to engage
in-politics except always to be true to
his party and friends. Now that he
is ableto rest from. ' his work, the
county will honor herself in honoring
this successful farmer; bis good judg
ment and ripe experience in business
matters will qualify him for this im
portant office and will make a repre
sentative worthy of his constituancy,
and bis influence will be felt in the
legislature. ' :-'v-:"
So give us W R Odell and George
E Ritchie and the two greatest inter
ests of our county will be nobly repre
sented. ' This county that boasts of
its intelligence should send men the

measure up to this standard. I -

Our Rural Towns are Improving.
(O. E. KESTLER )
On a recent visit to the progressive
town of Mt. Pleasant the writer was
greatly impressed with the worderful
improvements that are going on in
this i section. Our people are nor
awaje or do not comprerienJ the im
portance of this city beautiful from
either a social, industrial or educational
standpoint. We find here as substan
tial and influential educational ihstitu
tions as can be found anywhere each
lead by capable and talented instruc
tors and they are doing great things
for the upbuilding of our county.
There is no reason for any scholar to
leave our midst to get an academic
education. We find here two up to
date cotton mills, under the capable
superintendency of Mr A N James,
both of which are succeeding nicely
and which add thousands of dollars
yearly to the industrial growth of this
section. We find here two splendid
liveries with commodious quarters and
outfits that equal those of much larger
towns. We find here very large and
handsome stores loaded with the choic
est selection of goods that would do
credit to Concord. C G Heilig, Cook
& Foil, The Kindley Co., Dr A W
Moose, A M Nussmon, etc., are as
live and up-to-date merchants as are
found in our State. The residential
portion of this little city beautiful is
dotted with elegant structures, with
large lawns, many trees and flowers
and shrubs on every hand, making a
home loving city of peace that appeals
to our poetic nature. And the people
of Mt. Pleasant are intelligent, ener
getic and hustling to build up this
part of our county. A railroad here
would add great things to a great litr
tle place but I'm afraid it would detroy
its seclusion, its uniqueness, its per
sonality, which is its greatest charm
today.
Above our town where now plays
the squirrel and the rabbit and the
quail, where the night owl awakes the
stillness of the forests and fields, where
farmer is laughing at the beauty of his
corn and cotton and pumpkins as they
glisten in the sunlight, where the cows
are lazily grazing to the music of
birds and breezes and the calves and
colts are playing among the trees and
pastures, and all is a typical country
scene worthy of the pen of a Ruskin
or Longfellow. O, say, where this
scene is now to be seen it will soon
have to give way to the onward march
of progress and commercialism that is
the order of the day. ''Cannopolis"
is born. Soon this rural scene will be
a city, boon tne music of looms and
hum of spindles and noise of whistles
will awaken the hills and dales where
the pigs are now fed and the cocks'
crow in the twilight And it is well,
well, that we have men here with
brains and money to thus build up
towns and cities where labor is em
ployed, where markets are made for
the farmers' products, where real estate
grows more valuable and where the
world can come to get the finest fabrics
that can be produced from cotton, and
it is still king in our loved Southland.
And right here I want to say that our
people, perhaps, do not appreciate the
value of our talented citizen, Mr J W
Cannon, the heart and brain of this
great mill-building in our midst His
success marks him as the most re
markable and successful business man
Cabarrus has ever produced. Great
monuments to his great ability stand
upon almost every hill in this and
other counties. His judgment, his
energy, his genius, if you please, is
recognized by the commercial world
I admire the successful man, who can
thus out-class the master minds in the
cotton business of the North and who
can out-rank the mill men of Man
chester and the other metropolitan
cities abroad. .- ; . - v
" Don't run down the Cannons,
Odells, etc., who are our people.
We are proud of their success for it
belongs to our county, our people. In
the year yet unborn our children will
recite their deeds as the pioneer up
builders of a grand country here, thea
why should we not encourage them in
this great work. I'm proud that we
can produce such men and we should
honor them for their character, intelli
gence and the good they bring our
county. Their only crimes are that
they have succeeded in the eyes of
some. There is no conflict between
the farmers and the mill men. Their
interests are identical and each de
pendent upon the other. Without the
cotton there could be no mills and
vice versa.
So I long to see the farmers rich
and prosperous, to see the' laborers
rich and prosperous, and see the man
ufacturer continue so. We've got a
great county here, if we only knew it
And that's why this letter is written.
to try to make people appreciate the
blessings that we now possess.
Double Lynching la Florida.
Tampa, Fla., July 27. John Black
and Will Hagin, negroes, were lynch
ed by a mob of 200 men near Fort
Gadnrr, Polk county, last night The
negroes killed Ed. Granger, a white.
turpentine operator, without provoca
tion and were captured by Sheriff G.
Wiggins and three deputies near the
scene of the killing a few hours after
vards at a bridge crossing Peace river,
two miles from Bartow. The mob
halted the sheriff and posse and took
possession of the prisoners. Both con
fessed and were hanged to a nearby
tree, being afterwards riddled with
bullets. The mob immediately dis
persed and the bodies were found this
morning.
All the Rawllnfses Doomed.
Atlanta, Ga., July 27 The Su
preme Court of Georgia today denied
the motion foa a new trial for Jesse
and Milton Rawlings, charged with
complicity in the murder of the Carter
children, near Valdosta, more than a
year ago. The motion, which did not
include J G Rawlings nor the negro,
Alf Moore, was made on the ground
of newy discovered evidence. The
evidence appeared to be the declaration
of J G Rawlings, father of the boys,
that he was guilty of the killing and
that hi sons were innocent The exe
cution of the quartette, which has been
three times postponed, is no fixed for
next friday, Aug. 3.
Pay For Captured Confederate Horses.
Lexington, Ky., July 27. after
forty years, confederate soldiers of
General John H. Morgan's command
are receiving pay from the federal gov
ernment for horses which were taken
from them when they surrendered. Dr.
L. J. Frazee and several old confed
erates soldiers who surrendered to
General E. H. Hobson at Mount
Sterling, Ky., in May 1865, have just
received checks for their horses taken
from them at that time. The amoun
each receives is $125.

The pepper vine grows best in a

moisture and abundant foliage to pro

given a rude sort of cultivation. The
growers plant It, keeping the grass
from Its roots, and when the tree near
which It la planted has no lower
branches strings or poles are placed In
proper position to enable the vine to
climb the tree. It needs no further at
