All fanners present woe interested and benefited. There was one man present from Iredell who approved of a part of Prof. Massey's theory but not }11 of it. He spoke of a certain Iredell fanner and wheat grower as the very beat authority on Veavine management. • So we wrote to the party named, stating that a farmer down here had a piece of land covered with a dense growth of pea vines and that be wished to seed this lend to wheat end weald like to know whet course to pursue to obtain the best results.

London, Aug. 11.—England was charmed and electrified to day by the announcement that the King in signalising his coro nation, presents the Osborne House, one of the favorite resi dences of the late Queen Victoria on the Isle of Wight, as a gift to the nation to be used as a con valescent home for Army and Navy officers. The gift is made in a message isaned to the people addressed to Prime Minister Balfour. This is taken to mean that the King is practical ly a well man again. England rejoices accordingly. The festivites continued all yesterday. The King and Queen drove to St. James Palace to at tend service in the Chapel Royal. The last bulletin to be isaned said that the King bore the fa tigue of the coronation well, and is progressing satisfactorily. Salt Af aiast Vanderbilt. NnUaliUwlM. Judge T. A. Jones of Asheville, is bringing a suit against Mr. Geoxpc Vanderbilt for $10,000 for injuries he received while getting in Vanderbilt’s carriage one night last winter. It seems that the Judge belonged to a choir which Vanderbilt had hired to sing in his Biltmore church and furnished carriages to con vey the singers from Asheville to and from the church. While attempting to get in the carriage after the services the horses started and Jones was hurt. It appears to us that Jndge Jones is lowering the dignity of the bench of North Carolina in hiring himself out as a singer to a Northern Croesus, and is low ering himself still more in try ing to squeeze money out of him for an accident. Fins Watermelons. CuDCord Tribuae Mr. John Iscuhour, of N'o. 11, brought in the boss load of watermelons Saturday. They wen of the Triumph variety and none weighed less than forty pounds, the largest weighing sixty-two. These melons crea ted a great deal of interest among thepeoplc on the street. Dove & Boat bought the load. This 62-pound fellow is the largest that has been on the market this year. Mr. Henderson U taker, also of No. 11, brought in a load ranging from 40 tooSpounds of the same variety. This looks like No. 11 should be entitled to the banner as the best water melon township. Bww BM Fimi Lwilmt Clrrar. C—tm4 THbmnt. I HEWS ITEMS. K. S. Duke, a well known tobacco drummer, of Rcidsville. died in a room at the Hotel Albert, in Selma, Alabama, last Saturday, from an overdose of morphine. Whether the dreg was taken with suicidal intent is not known. Daring the storm Monday afternoon in Rock Hill Mr. Wm. Mitchell’s haudsome new resi dence on West Main street, was set on fire by a ball of ligbtuing through the house and almost completely destroyed. Mrs. Mitchell was badly shocked. The little five-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. T. J. Harris, of Asheville, was bitten by his pet bulldog Sunday afternoon, the doe tearing a strip of skin and flesh three inches long from the child’s forehead. Mr. Harris has taken his son to the Pasteur Institute for treatment. Oliver Wendell Holmes, son of the celebrated essayist and poet, has been appointed by President Roosevelt to be an associate justice of the United States Supreme Court, vice Mr. Justice Gray retired on account of failing health. Judge Holmes was bom in 1841 and was Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Massachusetts at the time of his recent appointment. The Concord Tribune says a stock company has beeu organ ized in Concord to purchase ah automobile to carry ten persons which will run between Concord and Mt. Pleasant. It will also be used to carry passengers to and from the depot here. This seems to be a go and soon we will be in close communication with our neighboring town. This line will be pnt on at an early day. The Wilmington Star says: The persons injured in the de struction of the pavilion by the cyclone Wednesday night at Carolina Beach continne to im prove and are on the road to recovery. 'Three or four of them who were more seriously injured will necessarily be slow in their recovery, but the physicians say that they have no fear but that all will get over their wounds. Miss Tennessee White, of Mooresville, was killed in a run away accident Monday afternoon. A special to the Charlotte Ob server says: Miss White, in company with her brother, Mr. Joe White, and Misses Bertie White Atwell, of Red Springs, and Clara Starrette, of Moores ville, were returning from Rock Springs camp-meeting. As their vehicle was craning the rail road here a trace broke and the hone ran. Miss White fell and fractured her skull, death re sulting almost instantly. The other occupants of the vehicle kept their seats and escaped injury. JUST ONE I Take No Sobotttute.
