Ferguson i Another of a series of historical articles on the Battle of Kings Mountain and Colonels Cleveland and Shelby written by W. K. White for The Star.) After the end of the battle ot Kings Mountain «as a gener al clamor among tne patriots tb see the body of the fallen British chief tain. Even Lieutenant Pamuef John son, despite his severe wound, re quested that he be, carried to view the remains of the slain Ferguson Complying with this request Colon el Cleveland assisted by two soldiers took the gallant lieutenant and per. mitted him to see the corpse of the dead commander whom he had fought, so valiantly. When the pa triots who survived the conflict had finished viewing the remains of the unfortunate Ferguson his body was buried in the hide of a .*"■*>1 on the southeastern declevit.y or the moun tain. A monument now marks the resting place of the daring British officer whose courage knew no bounds. ' i iic various possessions or me I slain Ferguson fell inln the hands <, of the Whigs. Two of these posses sions were awarded to Colonel Clev eland. As the colonel had lost his horse in the fight the white charg er from whose back the Intrepid British leader had bepr>. shot was assigned to him by common con- i sent. In addition to this award Col- j oiyl Cleveland received a snare ; drum whicli he prized highly so long ' as he,lived On Sunday morning October 8th j the patriots were ready to leave * Kings Mountain. They were prompt j ed to make an early departure lor 1 two reasons. In the first place they j w anted to get on their return jour- ' nejras quickly as possible in order j to procure a much-needed supply of j provisions. Their other reason wait | they wished to avoid an engage- j ment with the dreaded Colonel Tar- f leton who was reported to be ccfm- , ing in pursuit of them with a por- ) tion of the British army stationed | at Charlotte under the command of j Lord Cornwallis. So at 10 o’clock t tne nest, morning following their sweeping victory the Whigs began their Journey with their wounded and prisoners towards the highland region of Western North Carolina. Here they felt they would be tale irom attack by British regulars. The Americans 'md inarched some tiling like three miles when a sa l event occurred. Tills was the death of the gallant Colonel James Wil liams of South Carolina who had been badly wounded in the battle the day before. The patriots carried t tie body of Colonel Williams with them dining the remainder of the day and buried it with military honors the next morning a little above the'tnouth of Buffalo creek. The death of this brave officer was deplored by the whole army. With I t are courage he had led his troops I in the battle and had received his ' death wound near the end of the j conflict. And Spraying Here | t outfiy Agent Will Be Glad To i Furnish Needed Information On Spraying. ' By It. W. SHOFFNER. Farm This is the time of year we should give our fruit trees more attention. We should first go through our trees cutting out dead wood and undesirable growth. Apple trees should be only thin, ned and undesirable limbs removed. In only a few cases apple trees should be cut back. . Peach trees should receive a dif ferent type of pruning. The trees should be opened up from the cen ter so as to let the sun light in. If you have sufficient fruiting wood, do not cut back on the limbs so heavily. If you hue old trees and no new wood protnmly the dehorn ing method would help to grow some wood for the next year. How ever, we would have to sacrifice one years growth. In' pruning out our undesirable ai d dead wood be sure not to cut off the smaller twigs in the main boov of the tree which generally bears our best fruit. First, know the difference between the, fruiting buds and the leaf buds. After we have prrfned our trees, he have not accomplished very much TT we do not follow this up by recommended applications of spraying. The dormant spray should be applied now with some form of lime and sulphur. This should be followed at intervals with the fruit sprays which control the curculio, other insects and diseases such as brown rot. If anyone desires this informa tion in spraying different trees, get in touch with the county agent.

Though the maximum iotvj ; which will be made to any farmer | tat of the reconstruction loan fund (set up by congress amounts to $400 (It Is more likely that this' amount will average around $75. Only 50 million dollars has been appropriaf Jed for this fund and further j money will be dependent upon the sale of bonds issued for the pur* I pose. The fund this year is not for i farmers alone in drought areas but kor all the Jarmers in the United States, except in two states, who Icannot get credit locally. “This means,” says Dean I. O. i-Schaub of State college, ‘‘that the county committees must scrutinize all applications very carefully and that further inspection of the ap plications will be made In Wash Hug ton before any loan is approved. Then, too, no loan will be allowed for any Increase In cash crop'. Some Increase will be allowed in truck crops grown for home use. | The farmer growing over 10 acres tof cotton and three acres of tobac Ico last year must agree to reduce | his acreage by 35 percent for both : «rppa this year and no man who 1 dll not grow the two crops last year will be given a loan to pro 1 duce such crops this year.” Mr. Schaub wants it carefully kept In mind that these loans arc not gifts but mo6t be repaid at the rate of 5 1-2 percent interest se cured by a mortgage on the crop. jThe crops must be grdwn accord ing to the advice and suggestion of [the county agent. iiiucic jariuers receiving Joans last year in drought areas will be rated according to how they repa'd the loans and this will, fn a large measure, determine whether new loans will be made to them this ye^-, said Mr. Schaub. He stated that machinery for making the loans is being organized rapidly and that as soon as the blanks are re ceived from Washington, the coup ty agents and committees will be ready to push the applications through.
