(From The Gazette of Apr. 16, '81.) E. C. Bragonier, in Philadelphia Weekly Times. We have actually seen danger in curred and instead of going Into tne bomb-proof men await outside of them the fall of a shell, in order to be on hand and first in to secure tne prize. But those were hard times for the poor Confederates In tne trenches and ircn would secure to them what Confederate money had long since failed to do. Just to think of paying f 1,200 for a barrel of flour, $250 for a pair of shad, $150 for a day's stay in hotel (you could not term it board) and $3 per drink for the vilest of whiskey. For weeks at a time cold corn bread, prepared in Richmond and Petersburg from indifferent, and sometimes unsound meal, was tne best and that was all to be depend ed upon. Rarely in these days was a ration of meat served, and these the men ate, were satisfied, and on it did all the hard fighting in the trenches. The preparation of this corn-bread was a novel one in the art of cooking. The great aim was to do the whole thing in the bulk and with the least trouble or care. The meal was simply mixed with water husks and was all ground, a little salt added and the dough baked !n pans nearly three feet long and near ly nan as wide, it could not be lean when it left the bakery and Its after treatment, till served to tne men was simply foul. The long, brown colored cakes, or slabs, as much like clay colored flag stones as could be, were thrown into the dirty box cars, used disc riminately for tne carrying of supplies and the dead and wounded, then piled up by dirty men and sent to the front. Wagons equally as unclean and in daily nse for every demand of a large army hauled these corn slabs to the men along the lines. By the time it reach ed them it was the vilest and filthi est of food, and yet it was eaten and sustained life as well i-.s allayed hun ger. What must have been the de termination of guch men? On sucn aiei nad they reen served for the ordeal awaiting them in the retreat to Appomatox. Horses fared hardly better than the men, and a sorrier set of their kind cannot be imagined than undertook to draw the trains and artillery on that last eventful retreat. State News. Elizabeth City Falcon: About noon on last Tuesday a tragedy occurred in the shops kept by Fred Steger. on the corner of Main and Poindexter streets. William Parker, a well known negro, was 6liot and almost killed by Steger.

TI KSOAY, APRIL 25, 1916. ARK VK GOIXU TO HA YK A FAIR What has become of the countv fair association is a question whicf is being asked frequently both bv business men and farmers. The lasr heard of the fair it was transterrerf from the Chamber of Commerce to an organization and it was under stood that stock in the association was to be sold and a working organ ization perfected at once. That was about three months ago. Gaston county had a good fair last year but the exhibits were necessa rily on a small scale because of tn fact that the movement for a fair was not started until in the late summer. If we are to have a variety of exhib its and each exhibit in any way com plete, it Is time now to begin plan ning. Farmers are planting and ought to have the necessary infor mation to enable them to raise some things specially for the fair. If Gaston is going to have a fair this fall it is time the making of preparations for it should begin. If we have a fair as we certainly should it ought to be a creditable one. in every day language, lt'i time to get busy. Don't Ik It, The Progressive Farmer. Dr. B. V. Kilgore, State Chemist of North Carolina, states that: " The roots, stems, bolls and leaves corres ponding to (or which produce) 500 pounds or lint cotton, are arouna 3, 145 pounds, or more than one and one-half tons, containing 67.7 pounds of nitrogen, 26.5 pounds of phosphoric acid, 50.3 pounds of pot ash, and 59.3 pounds of lime; or the equivalent of five tons of good ma nure." Did you ever think what we were doing when we use the torch so in discriminately? If you produce ten bales of cotton and burn all the stalks you are, according to the bove figures, deliberately destroying 6it pounds of nitrogen, worth at present prices about $170; and still we grumble about the high price of fertilizers. Let'B stop, right now and forever, this miserable burning habit that is annually costing us millions of dol lars. Iet b make up our minds that henceforth nothing on our farm shall be burned if we can possibly plow If under or use it to stop washes. We don't believe it is too much to say that to put a boy or girl in corn, pig, or canning club work Is worth a month's schooling a year. While other parents are giving their children these advantages therefore, Brother Subscriber, what about your a bonded one or $3,uuo,uuu' con tracted to aid in the construction of railroads. This includes 1200,000 subscribed to the Atlanta & Char lotte Air-Line and $100,000 to tne Statesville road towards the pay ment of which nothing has been done except keeping down the inter est which accrues at the rate of 7 per cent. All her other debts have been paid off and the monthly and annual expenses are liquidated as they rise. Graham Gleaner: Thursday morn ing when Bill Hawley, the colored man in the employ of the sheriff went to feed the prisoners, he found upon opening the outside door of the cell in which three negro prison ers were confined, that they had broken the fastenings of the inside door which they immediately threw open and two of them attempted to escape. Bill resisted whereupon they seized him and choked and other wise injured him and then fled a- cross the fields south of town. The sheriff immediately organized a pos se and started In pursuit.
