He expressed some sur­ prise at this and asked me why I did not stop for breakfast. I told him that I had sold, my last load about out and that a new lot of goods was waiting for me at Jackson, aud I want­ ed to be there before the express agent left in the morning. “There were a number of persons tting iynnd -while I told this, but I ">k little notice of them; only one ested;: my attention.

When I went to my chamber, I iked the landlord who that man was, Escribing the individual. He said he d not know him. He had come that ternoon and intended to leave the ext day. “I had an alarm watch, aud having set it to. give the alarm at one o’clock, I went' to sleep. I was aroused at the proper time and immediately rose and dressed' myself. When I reached the yard I found the clouds all passed away and the moon was shining bright­ ly. The hostler was easily aroused and by two o’clock I was on the road. The mud was deep and my horse could .not travel very fast. However, on we went, and in the course of half an hour I was clear of the village. At a short distance ahead lay a large tract of forest, mostly of great pine. The road lay directly through this wood, and as near as I can remember the distance was twelve miles. Yet the moon was in the east and the road ran nearly west, so I thought. I should have light enough. "I had entered this wood and gone about half a mile when my wagon heels settled with a jump and jerk deep hole. I uttered an excla- By liead. If I had been on my seat, one of these' balls, if not two, would’ have gone through me. I popped up my head again and gave a yell, and then I said.— “ ‘O God save me!—I’m a dead man!’ "Then I made a shuffling, as though I wHs falling off, and finally settled down on the footboard again. I now urged up the old mare by giving her an occasional poke with my whip stock, and she peeled faster than ever. “The man called out to me twice more pretty soon after this, and as be#got no reply he made tremendous efforts to break the door open, and as this failed him he made several attempts on the top. All this time I kept perfectly quiet, bolding the reins firmly, and kept pok­ ing the beast with the stock. We were not an hour going that dozen miles—not a bit of it; I hadn’t much fear—perhaps I .might tell the truth, and say I had none, for I had a good pistol, and more than that, my pas­ senger was safe, yet I was glad when I hauled up in front of the tavern, and found a couple of men in the barn cleaning down some stage horses. “ ‘Well, old fellow,’ said I, as I got down and went to the back of the wagon, 'you’ve had a good ride, haven’t you?’ “ 'Who are you?’ he cried, and he swore as he asked the question. “ 'I am the man you tried to shoot.* was the reply, ''By this lime the two hostlers had come to see what was the matter, and I explained the case. After this I got one of uiem to run and rout the sher­ iff, and tell him what I believed I’d got for him. The first streaks of day­ light were just coming up, and in half au hour It would be broad daylight. In less than that time the sheriff came and two men with him. I told him the whole affair in a few words, and then made for the cart. He told the chap inside who he was, and U he made the least resistance he'd be a dead man. I then slipped the wrench out. and as I let the door down the Jeliow made a spring. I caught him by the ankle, and lie came down on Unprecedented and \ Munificent Club Offer.

In I was right, for I had over two lockup, and I told the sheriff I should remain in town all day! “After breakfast the sheriff came down to the tavern and told me that I had caught the very bird, and if I should remain until the next morning I should have the reward of two hun­ dred dollars which hid been offered. VI found my goods all safe, paid the express agent for bringing them from Indianapolis, and^then went to work to stow them away in my cart. The Iiullet holes were found in the top of the vehicle just as I expected. “On the next morning the sheriff called upon me and paid me two hun­ dred dollars in gold, for Ue had made himself sure that he had got the right villain. “I afterwards fouud a letter In the liostifflre at Portsmouth for me, from the sheriff of Hancock county, inform­ ing me that the fellow who tried to kill and rob me was in prison for life.” —Wavcrly Magazine.

Jan. 25 1906. PROVE WHAT YOU SAY. “Some of the beloved are trying to raise the cry of 'persecution’ against the government in the trial of the revenue boodlers; stand and let the jury say what about them.’— Mocksville Courier. We challenge the editor of the Courier to produce proof of the above assertion. If any Republican paper has cried persecution we have missed the paper containing it. The Record referred to the trial in last week’s issue, but did not intimate that it was persecution. We refered to the cry of persecution which was rife among the Democrats when N. Glenn Williams, .a Democratic dis­ tiller, was being tried, and the Con- . rier was one of the papers that want­ ed to make it appear that it was a ■ persecution. The jury did not take the same view, for whiie Mr. Wil­ liams, as an individual was acquitted, the Old Nick Williams Co. was con­ victed. The jury was guilty of per­ secution we presume. We have with­ held comment in these cases, because we thought the cases were before the proper tribunal for trial; and we would make the following suggestion to the Courier: Look in the Yadkin Ripple and read the sheriff’s sale no­ tice of the Old Nick plant for the license tax, and tell your readers why your Democratic Solicitor has not indicted the Old Nick Co. for operating without license. Mr. Ham­ mer, your Solicitor, sent between 80 and 90 indictments against the Ad­ vance distillers for operating a few days before the tax was paid, and when the bills were drawn every cent had been paid to the sheriff, and he even indicted the poor Iaborere who tolal capitalization is $80,000,000, more than half the amount invested in cotton manufacture in this sec­ tion. The figures quoted above give some idea of the rapidity with which the Southern States are coming to the front in the matter of manufactures and are indeed gratifying. Taken in connection with the fact that this development may now be said to have only fairly begun, they paint a most glowing picture for the future. —Charlotte Observer. because we thought the poor man should not be debarred because of his poverty and misfortune; besides the ultimate end will be a debauched and corrupted electorate. Awaywith it, now and forever. WouldLetDown Bars to Voters. Part of the Prerequisite to Vo­ ting Law is Obnoxious. W ashington , D, C., Jan. 16.— There is much speculation among Virginians and southern men gener­ ally in Washington as to whether there will be an effort made at the present session of the Virginia Leg­ islature to secure the passage of an amendment to the Constitution to be submitted to the people eliminating the prepayment of poll-tax as a pre­ requisite to voting. There seems to be a very general belief that this will be done eventually, but whether an effort will be made to induce the present Legislature to undertake it is not made the subject of prophecy, wereengaged-at-tliese-diSHHerieS-m tfssJ1-¥^®B^ ,^ djJ1-8I1’-^hois- feeding hogs, grinding corn, stirring the mashes and firing the furnaces.

G. llai'.ey, of Advance, was in to vn Tuesday and Wednesday.— Mr. Bailey’s friends are pushing his claims for Collector of the Western district, and the indications poiut strongly to his appointment. He is getting strong endorsements, and his Davie county frierfds are unanimous­ ly for him. The President will make make no mistake in his appointment, if he is looking for a fine business man, and that’s the kind of man we need as Collector. THE SOUTH’S MANUFACTURES. Thegreat development of manu­ factures in the fourteen Southern States is forcibly set forth by figures taken from The Manufacturers’ Rec­ ord, of Baltimore, and secured from other sources, all of which are relia­ ble. In manufactured products the increase from 1880 was from a valu­ ation of $450,000,000 to $917,000;000; in 1900, the figures were $1,600,000,- 000, while in 1905, the valuation is placed at $1,790,000,000. Tlie output of pig iron in 1880 was 397,000 tons, and this year it is 3,300,000 In 1880. the Southern States had $21,000,000 invested in cotton mills, operating 600,000 spindles, while ten years later $61,000,000 represented the amount invested in the industry and 1,700,000 as the number of spin­ dles; this year $50,000,000 is invest­ ed and there are 9,000,000 spindles. Thesemills now consume 2,250,000 bales of cotton, as agaijist only 188,- 000 bales in 1880. The possibilities of the industry is shown jn the state­ ment that there are in the world a total 110,000,000 spindles and the South can supply cotton for 80;000,- 000, while there are in the section in which the staple grows but 9,000,000 spindles. Tliese figures would seem to indicate that, other things being equal, there is no danger of too many mills being built in the South. This section raises the staple, and it should also manufacture the greater part of it, thus to greater extent reaping the benefit to be derived therefrom. Twenty-five years ago there were but forty cotton oil mills in the South with a capital stock of $3,000;000 aud in most places cotton-seed were regarded as worthless, being used mainly for filling gullies and making fertilizer. Now there are 1,000 cot­ ton oil mills in operation and their in Wfishintong today ,is strongly in fa­ vor.. of the abolition of the poll-tax payment as a pre-requisite. “The other safeguards thrown about the electoral franchise, such as the educational qualification and the property qualifications, protect it sufficiently. The portion of the pop­ ulation desired to be eliminated has been purged from the electorate. I want to see the pre-requisite of pay­ ment of poll-tax abolished, It cre­ ates or adds to the great discontent which exists at present among the voters. We know the exercise of the electoral franchise is a privilege and not a right, but this is not the feeling among the masses. They re­ gard Eis a right the privilege of vot­ ing and they feel they have been de­ prived of a cherished right by the pre-requisites the Constitution of 1901-02 established. “I have always voted the Demo­ cratic ticket! and do not know that I shall ever vote any other, but I do not speak as a Democrat, or as a member of any party, when I say we should abolish the poll-tax payment as a pre-requisite to voting. I sim­ ply speak Eis a citizen, who wants to see a better state of feeling existing among the people of Virginia to­ wards the State government. The people are dissatisfied in many in­ stances. Those who have been dis­ franchised for any cause feel aggriev­ ed and the friends of the people are sore. They may not be able to indi­ cate exactly the object of their dis­ pleasure, but they are not hearty, enthusiastic Virginians any more, but men with grievances, pessimists and cynics, in so far as the State govern­ ment is concerned. I wonder wheth­ er the Democrats will undertake to abolish the poll-tax pre-requisite, or allow the people to call the Republi­ cans to power for that purpose.” Advocates in Minority. But it is fair to say that the ady£ cates of the abolition of the poll-tax pre-requisite are not certainly in majority among the Virginians with whom I ha.ve discussed the ject. —o— The chickens are coming hofne to roost. This poll-tax feature fcf the Constitutional Amendments in Vir­ ginia, is working to the hurt of De­ mocracy. It’s cutting out manVof the poor white men, and it’s costing our friends too much money to pay these poll-taxes.

'A writer to the Farmer and Stock­ breeder says: Ideal land tor poultry is made up by having a nice loamy sur­ face soil, together with a gravelly sub­ soil. A nice loam promotes insect life, and we all know how fond poultry are of insects for food. Therefore, they will always be busy on a loamy soil insect hunting, and thus our egg sup­ ply will be increased, and chickens will thrive better. Next, to turn to the sub­ soil, we see at once how beneficial it is to have this composed of gravel, be­ cause by having a gravelly subsoil the surface soil is kept drained, and so is warm and dry, both of which are so beneficial to success in poultry-keeping. As one cannot always select his soil he should know the breeds best adapted to the soil he has. One of the most suitable breeds for heavy land would be a good utility strain of Plymouth Rocks, or, as they are more commonly called today, Barred Rocks. For medium, well-drained land, in not too exposed position, there is noth­ ing to equal a good utilty strain of Wy- andottes. For light land we have a great choice of breeds, as almost any breed will do Well on a light, well drained soil, but first of all the Dorking must be named as being especially suitable, but we look upon the Dorking primarily as a table bird, therefore as a non-sitting, laying variety there is nothing to equal the Leghorn family, as on a light soil they do remarkably well. 1 Minorcas are by no means to be de­ spised, as after the Leghorn they are one of our very best utility breeds, es­ pecially if the space be limited, as they do remarkably well in confined runs— in fact, they are called '‘backyard", fowls, simply because they are so large­ ly kept by poor people and others with limited space; but for a light soil they are hard to beat as layers. The great­ est fault of clay land for poultry is that it may be described as impervious to water; that is, when the rain falls upon a surface soil of clay it stands in puddles, and therefore drains very slowly—in fact ,heavy clay land is not desirable for poultry or any other class of farm stock, as it is always cold and damp. , Profitable Breed of Fowls. For general purposes the Wyandotterf have proven a success, being of me­ dium size, weighing on an average a pound. less than the Plymouth Roc hardly of constitution and prolific of layers. They are easily cared for and' bear confinement well. For table pur- Silver Spangled Wyandotte. poses they are of superior worth; their flesh is sweet, juicy and tender, mak­ ing excellent broilers and roasters. AS layers, they are among the best, aver­ aging from 12 to 14 dozens a year, and as winter layers they do well under or­ dinary circumstances. Feeding by Machinery. The latest wrinkle is to feed chickens for market by machinery. The feeding is done twice a day with a patent liquid food and one man can feed 300 chick­ ens in a day. The food is forced through a tube by means of a suction pump, which in turn is operated by a foot pedal. The tube is about ten inches, in length and reaches through the chicken’s mouth into its crop. When the crop is full, the flow of liquid food steps instantly, and the chicken is not injured in the least. This feeding by machinery is done chiefly- in the prep­ aration of roasters for the market and for finishing the fattening of broilers. Cause of Soft-Shelled Eggs, If the hens are laying soft-shelled eggs, provide a liberal amount of char­ coal where they can have free access to it. Some breeders think that over­ fat hens are responsible for the soft- shelled eggs. While this is a fact, obe­ sity is not the absolute cause. Lack of i grit and proper exercise will produce j more soft-shelled eggs than over-fat hens. Aged hens will become over-fat sufficient to produce bad results, and : therefore that difficulty can be easily overcome by selling them and - retain­ ing only the young hens. Feed Plenty of Water. The fowls and chicks need plenty of water now, and dry grain or cracked feed. Avoid soft, sloppy stuff, if you would have no dysentery or bowel trouble among the birds during the hot weather. .« Some of the Things Which the Ameri­ can Visitor Soon Learns. j Americans sojourning In London are ' often puzzled in their first few hours there to account for the frequent blow­ ing of mouth whistles in their vinlcity,' resembling the blasts of sound w ithI which the NeW York postman accom-j panies the delivery of mail. A Yan­ kee who arrived in the British metrop­ olis one night this summer greatly fatigued by his journey retired early at his lodgings, but was kept awake until midnight by the unaccustomed and continuous blowing of whistles, which suggested to his drowsy brain that letter carriers were calling every few minutes at the adjoining houses. At breakfast the next morning he remarked that he, had often heard of London’s frequent mail deliveries, but he had never supposed there were so many of them as he had heard the pre­ vious evening. “Why- those were cab calls you heard, ffivery London house has a cab whistle. One blast brings a han­ som, two a four wheeler.” Cabs are essential to London, where antiquated stages are the only means of going In many directions, and they serve as express wagons as well as conveyances. Few persons send their baggage (“luggage” it is called over the: el in advance to railway station or c'.-amer pier. A cab is called at the last moment, and the cabman puts trunk or valise on the roof of his ve­ hicle. If one’s parcels are numerous a four wheeler or omnibus is employ­ ed. On arriving with luggage, the same method is used to carry tt to one's home or lodgings. As the baggage covered hansom bowls along two or three ragged and dirty men qnd boys may be seen run­ ning beside it. If any distance is to be traversed it will be noticed that some of these drop behind one after the other, while others take their places. They are “runners,” usually men on their “uppers," who-earn an occasional shilling by following cabs to their destination and carrying the luggage upstairs for the arriving pas­ sengers. One of the first inquiries made by Americans who settle in London is for a washerwoman . But it is soon found that this useful person is not to be had. Very little washing is done at home or taken out by the washerwo­ man in London, all the soiled linen being sent to the laundry. The result is that Americans, accustomed to the. weekly visit of the family washer­ woman at home, find their laundry bills not a small item of expense on the other side of the ocean. Most of the small London shopkeep­ ers and their assistants take a half holiday on Thursday, instead of Sat­ urday, as in hjew York, the butchers -*— “Up' Tuesday afternoons. This practice causes inconvenience to new­ comers until guarded against by early purchases.—New York Tribune. Uncle Sam's Troopers. Before ihe "rookie” is given a horse that is a good deal more valuable to Uncle Sam than he is, he must learn what goes on the horse and how it must be placed there. He is shown how to fold his saddle blanket, how to put on his saddle and pack it with lariat, tin-cup, sidelines, horseshoes, horseshoe nails, extra ammunition, mess-kit, poncho, extra blanket, half a shelter tent, pole, and pins and over­ coat The average trooper weighs one hundred and fifty pounds, while his horse when ready, carries two hundred and fifty pounds. He is not a big brute, this horse, but an active spirited animal of fifteen hands and two inches, weighing a little under a thou sand pounds. The hundred pounds of saddle arms and equipment, In addi­ tion to the rider, must be packed and adjusted with intelligent skill if the mount is to be kept fit and to cover his twenty miles per day, week in and week out over all kinds of roads. Thus far our promising recruit knows nothing about horsemanship. He must Icam how to hold his reins always in his left hand, and never pull them. He finds that his horse responds with the pressure of the reins on his neck. He lcams that the reins steer the front end of the mount and that the spur steers its rear to right or left, and that the sad­ dle is the pivotal ■ center of control. He requires facility to use the carbine, saber and pistol, while he keeps his horse perfectly in hand. The recruit is put on a troop horse that knows the bugle calls as well as veteran cavalry men, and when the new man forgets the way to turn, his mount snorts contemptuously and does the right thing “on his own hook.”—Ralph D. Paine in Outing. POT AND KETTLE. "With the exception of food, the fib­ rous plants of field and forest furnish all the necessities of life for the Blll- pino. Obeyed Specialist's Orders. A celebrated Continental specialist, to whom time was literally money, and who was possessed of a fiery tem­ per, made it a rule that all patients should undress before entering his consulting room so as not to waste any of his valuable time. One day a meek looking little man entered with all his clothes on. “What do you mean by coming in like that?” asked the doctor, in a rage. "Go and strip at once.” “But I ” faltered the man. "I tell you I've no time to waste,” yelled, the doctoi, and the poor man left th^room In haste. When his turn came he re-entered the; room. ■ “Now, then,” said the doctor, “that’s better..

Prof. Blackle used to form a very picturesque feature In the Edinburgh streets, says Tit-Bits. He was a cheery old patriarch with handsome features, and hair falling In ringlets about his shoulders. No one who had seen him could possibly forget him. One day he was accosted by a very dirty little bootblack with his "Shine your boots, sir?” Blackie was impressed by the filthiness of the boy’s face. "I don’t want a shine my lad,” said he. "But If you’ll go and wash your face I’ll give you sixpence.” “A’ rlcht, sir,” was the lad’s reply. Then he went over to a neighboring fountain and made "his ablution. Re­ turning, he held out his hands for the money. "Well, my lad,” said the professor, "you have earned your sixpence. Here it Is.” "I dlnna want It, auld^chap,” re­ turned the boy, with a lordly air. "Ye can keep it and get yer hair cut!” • She’d Keep It. "But you can keep house?” he asked, doubtfully; for he was, above all things, a practical man. "If you get a houee and put it In my name,” she replied, promptly, "I’ll keep it all right enough.” Matters being thus satisfactorily settled, their engagement was an­ nounced—Judge. Clever Child. "I suppose you will marry when you grow up?” said the visitor, pleasantly. "No,” replied the thoughtful little girl, Innocently. “Mamma says papa is more care than the children, so I guess the care of my children will be enough for me without the care of.a husband.”—Tlt-Bits. For Two and Two’ For. The Wife—It. Is very strange,dear. Before we were married, I used to love the odor of your cigars, and now I simply cannot bear it. The Husband—There’s nothing odd about that. When I had only myself to take care of I could buy good cigars. Now I have to smoke two-fors.

An Ofllcial Opinion. "Y our! honor,” said the attorney, "this man's insanity takes the form of a belief that everyone wants to rob him.
