A Fourth For Fiddlen.
The forthcoming Fourth of July
promises to be made memorable
in Dyer county, Tennessee. They
are going to hold at Dyersburg,
the county seat, a convention of
“old-time fiddlers,” and ex-Gov.
[Bob Taylor—“lang may his el
buck jink nnd diddle”—is going
to be there to take part in the ex
ercises. Arrangements for the
great event are under the charge
of “the enterprising Mr. Stump
Braekin,” according to the Dyer
Countw Herald, which goes on to
say that “everybody is invited
and should attend," and that
among those who will certainly be
there are "some blind, some lame,
some bald-headed, and some of all
ages, none of whom know a print
ed note from a fence rail, yet all
of whom know how to get next to
nature’s heart and rob the fiddle
of its sweetest harmony.”
That is to say, there will not be
a “violinist” in the lot, but just
fiddlers. Note books and sheet
music will be unknown, as will al
so fantasies, rhadsodies and other
such swell names as “violinist”
affect for the tunes they play.
But there will be real music, a
plenty of it, and of the fetching
est kind. What man is there
with soul so dead who never to
himself hath said, when he heard
“Share Um” played by an ener
getic and tireless old-time fiddler:
“By jinks, I feel just like danc
in’!” And that will be one of the
tunes of the Dyersburg conven
tion. To keep it company there will
be also “Cotton-eyed Jo,” “Dance
the Peavine,” “Sugar John, the
Baby,” “Georgia Gals,” “Mouoy
Musk,” “Old Uncle Ned,” and a
long list of similar time-honored
airs which every old-timer has in
his repertory.
Likewise there will be an entire
absence of Bpike-tailed coats,
champagne and pates de foie gras.
But nobody will miss them. It
will be in order for anyone who
wishes to do so to take off his
coat and make himself at ease,
and the inner man will be regaled
with barbecued meat, corubread
and pies of all sorts, to be washed
down with gallons of the finest
buttermilk in Tennessee. It
would be a qneer American who
could net enter into the spirit of
such a convention, enjoy the oc
casion, and derive from it a plenty
of Fourth of July enthusiasm.
“Bob” Taylor will enjoy it, cer
tainly, and it would not greatly
surprise us to hear, after it was
all over, that he had been tempt
ed by the seductive cadences of
the fiddlers under the magic
touch of the old-timers, to “cut
the pigeon wing,” or to keep step
to that masterpiece of some un
known genius, “Chicken in the
Bread Tray.”—Savannah News.
Rev. L. A. Simpson of Toccoa
has accepted the call of the Pres
byterian Church at Gainesville,
and will soon go there and take up
its pasturage. He is a well-known
minister and no doubt his work
will be rewarded with success.
There is a rumor abroad to the
effect that Tom Hutcherson’s
friends will insist that he run for
congress next year. Tate’s sparse
ly settled enemies think Hutcher
son is the only man in the ninth

from Pickens. These gentlemen
are our personal friends, and we
sincerely trust they will not get
mixed up iu a congressional tight.

The next Congressman from this

inee. This would be just aud fair,
not only to Hon. Carter Tate, but
to those who would like to contest
for the prize with him. We
would like to know if Congress
man Tate and his friends would

The Gwinnett County Teachers'
Institute is in session this Week,
with a large attendance. Prof. S.

along smoothly.
Prof. Dußose has drawn a map

when the land lot numbers ure

also smiling at the pretty “school

everyone feel “at home.”

FOUKTH OF JULY lOX
UUKBIONS.
Up-couutry folks and down-country
folks need a shake-up at least once a
year. The shake-up might as well come
Fourth of July as any other day. Moun
tain lulka need a dash of seaside and
seaside folks need that peculiar some
thing called “mountain air.” Fourth
of July is kind of a jolly affair anyhow.
Everybody moves somewhere. The
querry.is where to go? The answer
is found in a glance at the Seaboard
Air Line system. From the waters of
the Chesapeake to the crags and deep
trout pools of the Blue Ridge. This
railroad will pot on sale tickets pur
chasable of any agent, July Jnd, 3rd
and -It 1* and good to return on nr be
fore July the 7th, at one and one third
fares for the round trip. Plenty of
people will be going, Out ample ac
commodation will be provided that
there will be plenty of room for the
children —for the whole family. There
will be no struggle nor exhaustion in
cident upon crowding for those who
take their Fourth of July outing by
the Seaboard Air Line.
Remember, the Fourth of July conies
but once a year. It will neuer do to
miss the outing.

• The Cotton Crop.
There has been a marked reduc
tion iii cotton acreage, and a de
cided decline in weather condi
tions. The indications therefore
in the middle of June are for a
small cotton crop. Moreover, the
visible supbly is declining, and
prices ure stiffening, passing (5
cents in New York June 10.
The farmers of the South
should now consider the situation
carefully. Such fields as indi
cate a poor yield of poor quality
should be abondoned, and time
and labi r concentrated on the
best fields of cotton and on other
crops.
Watch the food supplies in ull
forms. Make the most of all
your opportunities to get what
you can from grass, milk, butter,
eggs, corn and vegetables.
Watch the cotton in every stage
from now on. Fight the weeds
and give the cotton a chance.
Sacrifice the weak plants to the
strong. I’ut head work in the
business, as well as hand work,
and the crops will respond satis
factorily.
So will the markets. The
world is on a boom with an un
precedented demand for every
thing, and a small crop of good
cotton will bring good prices, and
if other crops are made to do
their share, then the Southern
farmers should, at the close of the
year, look back ton 'a season of
more than ordinary prosperity.—
Home and Farm.
You people in Georgia have a
mistaken idea about the making
of cotton in Texas. You fear
that we will exorcise too great an
influence on the market, but
while we have advantages, we also
have disadvantages. Labor costs
more in Texas than it does in
Georgia, and we have to ship
farther. This offsets to some ex
tent the* cost of fertilizers in
Georgia. I have seen great fields
of cotton unpicked because of the
imbossibility of obtaining hands
to gather the crob. The idea
that it is cheaper to raise the sta
ple in .Texas than in Georgia is er
roneous.—R. M. Johnston, editor

Chimuey Rock. Henry A. Wise
is dead. But Chimney Rock still
lives. Henry A. Wise is immor
tal. So is Chimney Rock.
Chimney Rock is one of the bold
est of American crags. The Sea
board Air Line will take you
there. It is only seventeen miles
bevoud Ruthfordton. Railroad
tickets good over the stage line.
The ride is one of phenomenal
grandeur. The inns are sot cozily
in the recesses of the wild moun
tain range. One dollar to two
dollars per day. The beds are
clean. The food is plentiful and
toothsome. The pools are solita
ry and cool and glistening with
speckled trout. The leafage of
the steeps is a ceaseless study and
solace and stimulant. The sum
mer thermometer dose light duty,
having a “beat” of only 60 to 81.
This means deep sleep by night
and long climbing walks by day.
Everybody W’ants to walk. But
Henry A. Wise said it all. Sum
mer tourist rates from all parts of
North Carolina. Don’t miss it,
men and brethren. Inquire of all
Agents. “Kick” if everthiug is
not perfectly comfortable.
Watch the baby get well. Watch
the boy from college get tough as
hickory. If Chimney Rock is
anything, it is a place to set the
family up against the Fall. Ex
