Now Methods, Convincing evidence of the superi ority of the new methods of farming over the old methods. Is Mrongly set forth In the results obtained by tteonte B Arthur. Asheville, N t'.. It F. I'., during the season of 1931. It nlso convinces even the casual observer that modern firming In the moun tains of Western Carolina may he made as profitable as on the rolling plains of the West. Mr. Arthur cul tivated 29 acres of land In one body and harvested 2410 bushels es corn therefrom. To the observant farmer, the methods pursued will possess edu cational value On April 26th, ISIS, he plowed under a heavy Crimson clover sod, which was thoroughly rolled and disced Imme diately after plowing: then applied 1,- 600 jiound* of ground limestone rock and harrowed in. Miles' single ear corn was planted May Cth, Immediate ly after the land had been harrowed. The sol) Is of black loam about three feet deep, with a pipe clay and yellow subsoil. Following Is s report of ths cost of making the crop, rating lea mis at $3.00 per day: Flowing S6B 00.. roll ing and discing $34 00. lime and labor applying $94 00. harrowing and rolling $30.00, seed and planting sl4 00. cultl vatin" four times with a 2-horse cul tivator $48.00. cultivating one time with a 1-horse cultivator $12.00, hoe ing $20.00. total $310.00 At time of harvesting, corn was worth SI.OO per bushel, so that the 29 acres produced $2,410.00, with ar. aver age gross Income of $83.14 per acre Deducting the cost, the average riel in come for the 29 acres Is $72.41 per acre, which all will agree Is quite profitable farming. During the lust cultivation the land was sown with Crimson clover, and on January Ist. 1914. there was a heavy growth of clover covering the ground At Random Strung By HENRY P. MOOHI General John H.

Morgan's men wc-re recruited most ly In Tennessee and tin- upper purl of deorgia The raid was organized In 1802 and started out against the Federal forces then operating In Ken tucky and after several engagement. In that state In which the Confadar atea were the victors, they crossed the Ohio Klver ami Invaded the states oT Indiana and Ohio. Morgan's command consisted of shout 1,500 men at the start, all of which were well mounted on Ken tucky thoroughbreds aiul well equipp ed from the spcdla of the recent suc cessful engagements with the enemy. He had to rely upon the tertiary pass ed through to furnish supplies for the subsistence of hla men and horses. Morgan had with his force several exfeert telegraph operators, who kept him constantly Informed as to the movements of the different foreea sent to obstruct his progress and de stroy or rapture him If possible. There were dully skirmishes, but gen erally Morgan's raider.-. were too strong In number Tor the opposing forces, gathered as they were on abort notice, and composed often of home guards, and now combatants. Their movements were necessarily swift anti the route they pursued often circuitous for they wished to avoid ns much as possible The genius of the plan was to reach Johnston's Island, which Is near Toledo, and release the prisoners before the enemy could col lect In sufficient force to Impede their progress The Country Aroused. Hv tills time the whole country was Iti a state of uproar Morgan was dashing diagonally acrosa the state of Ohio like a meteor In Ita course, no one knew where he was going nor what was his objective. But nil knew CHAPTER EIGHT. As BUI worked along at his new Job he noticed that Ule rest of the fellows there had formed a clique ugainst one of the young men and they had told Bill to look out for him. as he wasn't on the level. As one of them put It. "Aw. lie's a sucker Why. he hardly takes time for his Ivineii and he's always here ahead of anybody elae in the morning. It makes It bad for the rest of us lieeatise the boss thinks we oughla work as hard a* he does.

A demand was made upon him to surrender which hf at ftrst acceded to. Hut before the en tire force could he disarmed, he to gether with about 400 followers cut their way through the line* ard made their escape. Going Back to Dixie, There waa nothing now to do but heat a hasty retreat and he heat It Ills men were now greatly downcast and discouarged by the hitter hostility nt the h hal Itaats o tlhu eotttn through which they passed and dl»- sertlons were frequent. Finally, they found themselves sur rounded and all means of egress corn pletely cut off They were then on the north aide of the Ohio and on July 28th, 18fl.1, they surrendered and Morgan and s< veral officers were taken to Columbus and put Into the penitentiary for safe keeping Their heads were shaved like convicts and It was given out that they were to be treated as spies and shot. About this time the Federal com mander of a raid was captured wl'h a force of 1,500 men by f.ev N. R Forrest -if the Confederate army. Forrest had only a little over 400 men at the time The Federal commander, Htrelght, and hla men, were sent to the IJbby prison at Richmond, Va, and held as hostages for the safety of Morgan's men and the Federal au thorities so notified. We lienr no more of Morgan bolng shot. Afte r a time he escaped. 8t did Strelght. It was said that Mor gan tunnelled bis way out The same was said of Strelght Both got safely through the lines and rejoined their respective armies. Morgan's Escape from Prison. When Morgan was reported to have escap'd from the Columbus peniten tiary, he, accompanied by seven of his officers, Is said to have changed his clothes In the sentry box outside when they separated Morgan and Captain llines caught a train for Cincinnati, from which they alighted when entering the city. They were put across the Ohio River hy a ferry boat and soon found food and shelter on the Kentucky side. Morgan then made his wav from Kentucky and Tennessee Into North (leorgia, and thence he went to Rich mond, where he was received with unbounded enthusiasm He made a speech In which he gave In detail the Incidents of his wonedrful adventures and his still more marvelous escape. He then returned to Fast Tennes see nnd resumed his duties as an of ficer In the Confederate army On the night of September 4th. 1804, he was shot nnd killed by Federal sol dlers who were Informed of Ills whereabouts hv a woman Thus, one of the knightllest of men, was foully betrayed Into the hands of his ene- HOW BILL GOT ALONG * • • HE WOULDN’T BUY A DRINK FOR A GUY WITH A BLISTERED TH ROAT. be wouldn't buy a drink for a guy with a blistered throat, and besides, he's got an Idea he doesn't have to travel with our huneh; thinks he's better than we Hre. 1 guess" All this Bill listened to and form ed his own conclusions without say ing anything. But as the young man In question had never done anything to BUI he couldn't see any reason for being unpleasant toward him.

Forty-seven years ago today the I'Bited States purchased Russian Amt-rba, a tract sa large ns the At lantis State- put together, for 17,200,- non Th# bargain was widely ridi culed The tract was called "Sewards Ice Box." after Secretary of State Se ward for th# purchase. The United State's gave It the name of Alaska — s rt eruption of the native Al-»v eska, meaning "a great country." The In lisldHinta numbered a few hundred whites and a few thousand natives. There were no roads, commerce was confined to fishing and sealing, to the extent of 12,000,000 a year The peo ple laughed, hut Secretary Seward died with the prediction that another generation would say the purchase of Aluska was the greatest accomplish ment of hi* administration. mies by one of his own countrywo men! This Mystery Explain. How did Morgan make his get away? How did Strelght maks ills? How did Harry K. Thaw make his? There Is more or less mystery con nected with the two former, especial ly with Morgan s escape It Is a strange coincidence that he and his hostage should have escaped about the same time and In precisely the same way. l-ooks as If the es cape of one would have had the effect of redoubling the vigilance oT the au thorities on the other side. Tunnel escapes are very rare. It Is a great deal easier and a simpler way Just to walk out through the front door. If you can arrange It with the right man. This obviates the trouble oT disposing with the dirt that the tunnel method accumulates and lessens the danger of being shot by the guards. Recent Investigations at th# Colum bus penitentiary have failed to reveal the satisfactory evidence of a tunnel o fa sufficient length and of an outlet, to admit of the escape of <a prisoner. It Is one of the many mysteries In connection with such affairs, that perhaps never will be revealed. General Morgan had a friend on the Inside, he was, too loyal even to give any token of It.

Seek and Ye Shall Find—He Found "Ask, are I It shall be given you; Seek and ye shall find-" —Matthew 7:7, A rather unusual incident occurred in the office of the Dicks House a few afternoons ago. The proprietor and six or seven hoarders were Indulging In a discussion of the Bible, the sub ject being Sampson, told of in the Book of Judges, Bth verse, chapter 14 —“And after a time he returned to take her, and he turned aside to see the carcass of the lion; and, behold there was a swarm of bees and honey in the earrass of the lion.” To cite the verse one of the board ers reached for a Bible lying on a near by table, and strange to say opened it at random at the exact page and verse, his finger resting on the para graph desired to be read. He had not even known what book of the Bible he was to look for the Sampson epi sode. Rather peculiar, eh? OLD LINE AND MOOSE MEET.
