The cultivation of the tobacco crop differs but little from that ol any other crop, says the Southern Tobacco Planter, save that the soil must be stirred often and all grass kept out of the field. The tobacco plant grows rapidly after it gets a start, and is not in the planters way very long. If the preparation of the soil has been thorough a few quick workings will see the crop large enough to take care of itself, and shade out all appearance of - anil grass. For this article -i\ successful planters have con-densed their experience which is given below. The planter who fol-lows their advice will not go amiss and will do full justice to his crop: Col. Page, Iredell county, N. ('., says: Plant tobacco as soon as possible after the first of May. When my tobacco has taken a start to grow, I break out the mid-dle of my rows and with hoes scrape around the plant, loosening the crust that has formed around the plant. The first plowing after tliis should be with a small culti-vator, running as close as possible without tearing up the plant. After this plowing pull a little dirt to the plant. The next plowing ■ I be with a cultivator running a little farther off from the plant. After this plowing use the hoe us before. The next and last plowing should be with a cultivator in the middle of the row. After this with hoi s pat a good hill." W. J. Groome, Guilford county, V t'.. says; "Tobacco should be planted the first season in May, and in older to have good plants by that time the beds Bhould have ■ pi '. ■ :i them before everv : the plants are well up— a small quantitity—say a gallon to a bed ten yards square. After your tobacco is planted it should be worked as soon as the bud turns green and the roots are beginning to take hold, but bo careful and shake the plant loose; if the plant is loosened it is apt to die in dry weather; do not plough to it the iirst time it is worked; if so you are apt to retard its growth. Tobacco Bhould be worked three times, about two weeks between times. It has been my observation that early tobacco always sells for money than any other; it will be easier cured than late to-bacco.' were and ''• "■ McMichael, SummerQeld, r >i>ring N. ('.. says: "Some eight or ten - after the plants are set out, or as soon as they begin to take root into the earth, the ground around them should be loosened or scratched gently to admit the heat from the sun and start the young tobacco to growing more rapidly. Harrows ami hoes should be used in the Iirst working, and afterwards larger plows and hoes may be used. Plowing and hoeing should be re-peated every ten days or two weeks till the tobacco is large enough changing color, it should be work-ed with the hoe only by removing the crust of the bill and drawing loose earth around the plant. This destroys the crop of grass and helps to destroy the cut worm. But if the land between the rows has become foul, it should be plow-ed with bull-tongue or shovel at the first working. When the plants have covered the hills, say a breatdh of twelve inches, they should be worked thoroughly with both plow and hoe. This plowing should be with bull-tongue or shovel, using short single-trees or shovel, and j running it close to the plants, and throwing out the row with four or five furrows. If the land has be-come very foul, a^turning plow is preferable. With the hoe all the surface soil should be drawn into hills around the plants as nt first. This working is a lay-by with the plow, which should never be used after the plants have come to top. Out later than this, should the land again become foul, it should be scraped with the hoe only. Any vegetation which springs up after the plant lias attained its growth does not harm, but is beneficial rather in keeping the lower leaves from being sanded; but to the eye of the genuine farmer it is un-sightly, and is disadvanteous if a wheat crop is to follow—it had better be kept down to the last." Major Ragland, Hyco, Va., says: "It is important to commenco cul-tivation soon after planting, to loosen the soil and start the plants growing. Just at this point many-planters fail to do their duty. which no subsequent work can atone for. Karly, rapid, and thor-ough cultivation is necessary to produce first-class tobacco. If the preparation has been thorough, thrice plowing, followed each time with a hand hoe, will sullice for the crop. '•For the first plowing no imple-ment is better than the wing coul-ter: the next best, the cultivator or double-shovel with coulter points. The second plowing may-be effectually done with the turn-ing. plow or cultivator. If grassy, use the first. The last plowing is most effectually done—three fur-rows with single shovel, a furrow on each side, then splitting the middle with third and last furrow. "Never 'scrape down' tobacco with the hoc without putting back on the bill or bed as much dirt as is scraped down. This will pre-vent baking, and save many plants should a dry spell follow the hand-hoe working. "Any process which stirs tho soil effectually and often, and keeps the plants free from grass and weeds, will constitute good cultivation, no matter how and with what implement done. Old land will require more work in cul-tivation than new, and dark grades more than bright. Short single-trees should be used after the plants are half grown to prevent tearing and breaking the leaves." Another contributor says: "The plants are set by hand, whenever they are ready and the season suits. As 6oon as they show signs of living the field is plowed with side grabs or small shovels, run-ning as close to the tobacco as may be done without covering it. This plowing is followed by the hoes, and in about ten days the second plowing is given with double shovels, throwing out the middle and giving a light mold to tho to-bacco. If there is any grass left the hoes follow the plows and where the plants are large enough small hills are drawn around them. The third plowing is done with Btraight shovels with cotton bows' attached; as much dirt is thrown to the tobacco as possible, and if it has been well worked before, hoeing will not be necessary. If the tobacco is not too large, a fourth plowing may lie given run-ning a sweep through the middle, but if there is danger of breaking the leaves too much with the plow, a good hoeing, with tlat hills drawn around the plant, will finish the cultivation." The caution hinted at above in regard to breaking leaves when the tobacco is too large should be care-fully considered. Careless hands can and often will do great dam-age to the crop, unless they are watched. It does not pay to use the plow when the leaves have grown a certain size, for the hoe can he made to answer all purposes. A little care along this line will save many pounds often of line to-bacco in a single field. INCOME TAX REHEARING. ■ : all *'"l« Kim ■ .;. Floor- SOUTHERN GRANNY WOMEN. They Kept the Mortality as Low as Regular Doctors Do. The southern girl went around to ^spend an evening with the trained nurses at their home in west Twenty-first street. There were a dozen or more of them at home that night, and the southern girl had not been there very long before they wore demanding to be told about those "female doctors down South." "How many of you are M. D.'s? Hold up your hands," said the southern girl. Several hands went up. "Were any of you ever in Ashe-ville, N. C?" Three or four affirmative answers were given. "Good ! Then you know where the Piedmont section of North Carolina is. Well, these women doctors I'm going to tell you about flourished there long ago, even be-fore any women in this State ever studied medicine, I guess. "You see they had to take up the practice of medicine from sheer necessity. In the early days of the century regular physicians were scarce in rural districts, and this was particularly true of upper Carolina. The only physician in a county lived at the 'court house,' as the county seat was called. Con-sequently the people living in re-mote parts of the county would have to ride twenty or twenty-five miles for the doctor. When his ofli-e was reached he might then be on the opposite side of the county. This scarcity of physi-cians and the long distance to be traveled caused the people to rely-more on simple remedies. The woman who was wisest in admin-istering these soon became the neighborhood doctor. Her knowl-edge of herbs and roots und their various uses was of great value to the afflicted. hope, nature would work out her CHARLOTTE IN FLAMES. cure.

"If I didn't see the man standing there with that plum cake and tea I'd put on my coat and hat and get out on the stoop before telling you all that the rate of mortality was not greater under the regime of the 'granny' women that it is now with all of our drug stores and a doctor located at every-cross-roads."— New York Sun. Southern Beverages. Down here in Mississippi the scuppernong grape finds its farth-est Southern foothold, I think; at least, I have not found it farther away. Travelers to Asheville and Florida will remember that it is the wine that is served at that celebrat-ed railway restaurant in North Carolina where the proprietor and the waiters vie with one another in forcing "extras" and second por-tions of the nicest dishes upon the wayfarers. There can scarce-ly be such another restaurant as that. "Do have another quail," says the proprietor. "Let me give you more of this scuppernong wine. It is made near here, and is perfectly pure." "Won't you take an orange or two into the cars with your" or "Here's a bunch of fresh dowers to give to your ladies." The scuppernong wine has even more of that peculiar "fruity" flavor than the best California wines—a Ilavor that I am barbarian enough to prefer to the "pucker" of the imported claret.

(If these 'granny' women two were especially prominent down to the civil war, and they continued to practice afterward as long as they were able to go. One of these was Granny Mclveown and the other Cranny McCraw. They were as highly esteemed for their ex-cellence of character and skill in the sick-room as the regular male graduates, and many families pre-ferred these women, with their herb teas, poultices and sympathetic ways, to the young graduates who seemed to know everything. The old doctors were always glad to have them on hand, especially in severe caseB. If these women had been born later they might have gone to a medical college an:! have been leaders in the profession, or they might have done the very work that you all are doing. "I wonder what the modern grad-uate, male, of course, would do," she went on, "in case he was called in suddenly to attend a patient, without I.is medicine case. I be-lieve ho would feel like an idiot searching around for rue or tansy or ground ivy to relieve pain. Now, these 'granny women couldn't even spell the word botany, but they knew all about plants, and were self-reliant enough to use their knowledge." "Can't you tell us some of the remedies they used?" "Oh, yes! A poultice of catnip was used for any sort of swelling or'rising,'and a tea of the same was used for 'innard' fevers." "And, pray, what are innard fevers?" some one interrupted. "Inward fever was a low, con-tinued fever that never ran very high," answered the southern girl. "Balm tea was also used to cure fevers, and poultices of tansy and confrey were smoothing and healing in cases of sprains and swollen joints. Children afflicted with hives wero made to drink a tea made of yarrow and ground ivy. For pains and aches of any kind, such as toothache, neuralgia, mus-cular rheumatism and the like, the efficacious remedies were poultices made of catnip, foatherfew and king-cure-all. Horseradish was administered for a cough, and lav-ender tea was given to stop nausea. Rosemary tea was considered a sure cure for hoarseness, and a tea made of thyme was given Children that were awaking in great fited and sooth sage and mullein, ami elecampane was thought to be tho very thing j for a cough. "These are a few of the reme used by your forerunners possibly cllicacioti the house. I dun'no' what it is, sah, but if you find it good, I shall be delighted, sah." So we went into tho back room with this other Colonel Mulberry Sollars, and there on the dining-table stood a bottle, a bowl of sugar, three glasses and spoons, and a glass pitcher fuli of spring water. "Serve yourself to a toddy, col-onel," said my host. "I'll watch you first," said I; "I don't know what a toddy is." "Don't know what a toddy is?" said the hospitable man. "Why, fall, that does Beem strange to me. Back in gran' old Virginia, sah, we children were all brought upon it, sah. Every morning my rever-ed father and my sainted mother began the day with a toddy-, sah, and as wo children appeared, my mother prepared for each one an especially tempered drink of the same, sah, putting—I regret to say—a little more water in mine than the others, because I was the youngest of the children." As he spoke, he dipped some sugar into his glass, poured in a little water, sufficient to make a syrup when tho two ingredients were stirred with a spoon, and then emptied in an Arkansas "still'ener" | of whiskey—a jorum, as the Eng-lish would say.

The wareroom was stored with wagons and wooden goods, and the origin of the fire is not known. Howell, Orr * Co., occupied two-thirds of tho upper floor as a cotton storage room. A brick wall separates them from the hardware room. The building is a very tall one, and the telegraph lines that run in front of it hampered the firemen and there was a considerable delay in running up the extension ladders and getting the hose to the windows. By tha'. time the smoke was pouring forth in great volumes, the upper part of the building being at times entirely hidden from view. Thus started one of the heaviest fires in Charlotte's history. In one hour's time the great warehouse was a mass of ruins. Wall after wall fell, crushing in the rear ends of the brick block facing Trade street east from the corner of College. At 5:30 o'clock the big ware-house was in complete ruins. The stores of Harrison Watts, W. K. Burwell and II. G. Springs, on the north, were burning. The stores of J. W. Brown, J. T. Scarboro, J. A. Overcash, Southern Chemical Company, H. G. Link, Field Bros., R. A. Duncan, W. II. Hoover and the offices of J. H. Sloan & Co., were crushed in by falling walls. The livery stables, restaurants and saloons opposite Howell, Orr & Co., were saved. The IOBS is not less than $125,000 partly covered by insurance. HEIRS TO A LARGE ESTATE. Somo of Them Live in Forsyth and Guilford Counties. A special telegram from Altoona, Pa., BayB that several persons in that vicinity- have employed attor-neys to press their claims as heirs in the estate of Robert Edwards, valued at $500,000,000. The sup-posed estate consisted of eight-six acres of land fronting on the Bat-tery and extending upon what is now Broadway. The land was se-cured by Robert Edwards from King George I. In 1770 Robert Kdwards leased the land to the English Government, and soon after died. His nephew and namesake succeeded to the estate. This second Robert Edwards, during the Revolutionary war, made a second lease to the English Government for ninety-nine years. The heirs claim the property should revert to them, as the leases have expired. The Sentinel is informed that there wero three Edwards brothers who came to this country from England. One settled in New York, one in Pennsylvania and the third in Chatham county, N. C. The New York brother (owner of the estate) returned to England and died. He left no heirs, except the two brothers, who died many years ago. Several descendants from the Chatham county brother are resi-dents of Forsyth and Guilford counties. Among the number be-ing Messrs. George Edwards, and W. A. and David Walker, of Win-ston. If tho large New York estate is ever divided amoug the living, the descendants in this section hope to come in for their share.—Winston Sentinal. NO. 18. -A.

Working the Crop.—Implements
Used and How.—Caution.
The cultivation of the tobacco
crop differs but little from that ol
any other crop, says the Southern
Tobacco Planter, save that the soil
must be stirred often and all grass
kept out of the field. The tobacco
plant grows rapidly after it gets a
start, and is not in the planters
way very long. If the preparation
of the soil has been thorough a few
quick workings will see the crop
large enough to take care of itself,
and shade out all appearance of
- anil grass. For this article
-i\ successful planters have con-densed
their experience which is
given below. The planter who fol-lows
their advice will not go amiss
and will do full justice to his crop:
Col. Page, Iredell county, N. ('.,
says: Plant tobacco as soon as
possible after the first of May.
When my tobacco has taken a
start to grow, I break out the mid-dle
of my rows and with hoes
scrape around the plant, loosening
the crust that has formed around
the plant. The first plowing after
tliis should be with a small culti-vator,
running as close as possible
without tearing up the plant.
After this plowing pull a little dirt
to the plant. The next plowing
■ I be with a cultivator running
a little farther off from the plant.
After this plowing use the hoe us
before. The next and last plowing
should be with a cultivator in the
middle of the row. After this with
hoi s pat a good hill."
W. J. Groome, Guilford county,
V t'.. says; "Tobacco should be
planted the first season in May, and
in older to have good plants by
that time the beds Bhould have
■ pi '. ■ :i them before everv
: the plants are well up—
a small quantitity—say a gallon to
a bed ten yards square. After
your tobacco is planted it should
be worked as soon as the bud turns
green and the roots are beginning
to take hold, but bo careful and
shake the plant loose; if the
plant is loosened it is apt to die in
dry weather; do not plough to it
the iirst time it is worked; if so
you are apt to retard its growth.
Tobacco Bhould be worked three
times, about two weeks between
times. It has been my observation
that early tobacco always sells for
money than any other; it
will be easier cured than late to-bacco.'
were and ''• "■ McMichael, SummerQeld,
r >i>ring N. ('.. says: "Some eight or ten
- after the plants are set out,
or as soon as they begin to take
root into the earth, the ground
around them should be loosened or
scratched gently to admit the heat
from the sun and start the young
tobacco to growing more rapidly.
Harrows ami hoes should be used
in the Iirst working, and afterwards
larger plows and hoes may be used.
Plowing and hoeing should be re-peated
every ten days or two weeks
till the tobacco is large enough
changing color, it should be work-ed
with the hoe only by removing
the crust of the bill and drawing
loose earth around the plant. This
destroys the crop of grass and
helps to destroy the cut worm.
But if the land between the rows
has become foul, it should be plow-ed
with bull-tongue or shovel at
the first working. When the plants
have covered the hills, say a breatdh
of twelve inches, they should be
worked thoroughly with both plow
and hoe. This plowing should be
with bull-tongue or shovel, using
short single-trees or shovel, and
j running it close to the plants, and
throwing out the row with four or
five furrows. If the land has be-come
very foul, a^turning plow is
preferable. With the hoe all the
surface soil should be drawn into
hills around the plants as nt first.
This working is a lay-by with the
plow, which should never be used
after the plants have come to top.
Out later than this, should the
land again become foul, it should
be scraped with the hoe only. Any
vegetation which springs up after
the plant lias attained its growth
does not harm, but is beneficial
rather in keeping the lower leaves
from being sanded; but to the eye
of the genuine farmer it is un-sightly,
and is disadvanteous if a
wheat crop is to follow—it had
better be kept down to the last."
Major Ragland, Hyco, Va., says:
"It is important to commenco cul-tivation
soon after planting, to
loosen the soil and start the plants
growing. Just at this point many-planters
fail to do their duty.
which no subsequent work can
atone for. Karly, rapid, and thor-ough
cultivation is necessary to
produce first-class tobacco. If the
preparation has been thorough,
thrice plowing, followed each time
with a hand hoe, will sullice for the
crop.
'•For the first plowing no imple-ment
is better than the wing coul-ter:
the next best, the cultivator
or double-shovel with coulter
points. The second plowing may-be
effectually done with the turn-ing.
plow or cultivator. If grassy,
use the first. The last plowing is
most effectually done—three fur-rows
with single shovel, a furrow
on each side, then splitting the
middle with third and last furrow.
"Never 'scrape down' tobacco
with the hoc without putting back
on the bill or bed as much dirt as
is scraped down. This will pre-vent
baking, and save many plants
should a dry spell follow the hand-hoe
working.
"Any process which stirs tho
soil effectually and often, and
keeps the plants free from grass
and weeds, will constitute good
cultivation, no matter how and
with what implement done. Old
land will require more work in cul-tivation
than new, and dark grades
more than bright. Short single-trees
should be used after the
plants are half grown to prevent
tearing and breaking the leaves."
Another contributor says: "The
plants are set by hand, whenever
they are ready and the season
suits. As 6oon as they show signs
of living the field is plowed with
side grabs or small shovels, run-ning
as close to the tobacco as may
be done without covering it. This
plowing is followed by the hoes,
and in about ten days the second
plowing is given with double
shovels, throwing out the middle
and giving a light mold to tho to-bacco.
If there is any grass left
the hoes follow the plows and
where the plants are large enough
small hills are drawn around them.
The third plowing is done with
Btraight shovels with cotton bows'
attached; as much dirt is thrown
to the tobacco as possible, and if
it has been well worked before,
hoeing will not be necessary. If
the tobacco is not too large, a
fourth plowing may lie given run-ning
a sweep through the middle,
but if there is danger of breaking
the leaves too much with the plow,
a good hoeing, with tlat hills drawn
around the plant, will finish the
cultivation."
The caution hinted at above in
regard to breaking leaves when the
tobacco is too large should be care-fully
considered. Careless hands
can and often will do great dam-age
to the crop, unless they are
watched. It does not pay to use
the plow when the leaves have
grown a certain size, for the hoe
can he made to answer all purposes.
A little care along this line will
save many pounds often of line to-bacco
in a single field.

SOUTHERN GRANNY WOMEN.
They Kept the Mortality as Low as
Regular Doctors Do.
The southern girl went around
to ^spend an evening with the
trained nurses at their home in
west Twenty-first street. There
were a dozen or more of them at
home that night, and the southern
girl had not been there very long
before they wore demanding to be
told about those "female doctors
down South."
"How many of you are M. D.'s?
Hold up your hands," said the
southern girl.
Several hands went up.
"Were any of you ever in Ashe-ville,
N. C?"
Three or four affirmative answers
were given.
"Good ! Then you know where
the Piedmont section of North
Carolina is. Well, these women
doctors I'm going to tell you about
flourished there long ago, even be-fore
any women in this State ever
studied medicine, I guess.
"You see they had to take up the
practice of medicine from sheer
necessity. In the early days of
the century regular physicians were
scarce in rural districts, and this
was particularly true of upper
Carolina. The only physician in
a county lived at the 'court house,'
as the county seat was called. Con-sequently
the people living in re-mote
parts of the county would
have to ride twenty or twenty-five
miles for the doctor. When his
ofli-e was reached he might then
be on the opposite side of the
county. This scarcity of physi-cians
and the long distance to be
traveled caused the people to rely-more
on simple remedies. The
woman who was wisest in admin-istering
these soon became the
neighborhood doctor. Her knowl-edge
of herbs and roots und their
various uses was of great value to
the afflicted.

Southern Beverages.
Down here in Mississippi the
scuppernong grape finds its farth-est
Southern foothold, I think; at
least, I have not found it farther
away. Travelers to Asheville and
Florida will remember that it is the
wine that is served at that celebrat-ed
railway restaurant in North
Carolina where the proprietor and
the waiters vie with one another in
forcing "extras" and second por-tions
of the nicest dishes upon
the wayfarers. There can scarce-ly
be such another restaurant as
that. "Do have another quail,"
says the proprietor. "Let me give
you more of this scuppernong
wine. It is made near here, and is
perfectly pure." "Won't you take
an orange or two into the cars with
your" or "Here's a bunch of fresh
dowers to give to your ladies."
The scuppernong wine has even
more of that peculiar "fruity"
flavor than the best California

were especially prominent down to
the civil war, and they continued
to practice afterward as long as
they were able to go. One of these
was Granny Mclveown and the
other Cranny McCraw. They were
as highly esteemed for their ex-cellence
of character and skill in
the sick-room as the regular male
graduates, and many families pre-ferred
these women, with their herb
teas, poultices and sympathetic
ways, to the young graduates who
seemed to know everything. The
old doctors were always glad to
have them on hand, especially in
severe caseB. If these women had
been born later they might have
gone to a medical college an:! have
been leaders in the profession, or
they might have done the very work
that you all are doing.
"I wonder what the modern grad-uate,
male, of course, would do,"
she went on, "in case he was called
in suddenly to attend a patient,
without I.is medicine case. I be-lieve
ho would feel like an idiot
searching around for rue or tansy
or ground ivy to relieve pain. Now,
these 'granny women couldn't even
spell the word botany, but they
knew all about plants, and were
self-reliant enough to use their
knowledge."
"Can't you tell us some of the
remedies they used?"
"Oh, yes! A poultice of catnip
was used for any sort of swelling
or'rising,'and a tea of the same
was used for 'innard' fevers."
"And, pray, what are innard
fevers?" some one interrupted.
"Inward fever was a low, con-tinued
fever that never ran very
high," answered the southern girl.
"Balm tea was also used to cure
fevers, and poultices of tansy and
confrey were smoothing and healing
in cases of sprains and swollen
joints. Children afflicted with
hives wero made to drink a tea
made of yarrow and ground ivy.
For pains and aches of any kind,
such as toothache, neuralgia, mus-cular
rheumatism and the like, the
efficacious remedies were poultices
made of catnip, foatherfew and
king-cure-all. Horseradish was
administered for a cough, and lav-ender
tea was given to stop nausea.

So we went into tho back room
with this other Colonel Mulberry
Sollars, and there on the dining-table
stood a bottle, a bowl of
sugar, three glasses and spoons,
and a glass pitcher fuli of spring
water.
"Serve yourself to a toddy, col-onel,"
said my host.
"I'll watch you first," said I; "I
don't know what a toddy is."
"Don't know what a toddy is?"
said the hospitable man. "Why,

discovered in the third story of the
big brick warehouse of Saunders
and Blackwood, on College street,
in the section occupied by the
wholesale department of Brown,
Weddington 4Co. The wareroom
was stored with wagons and wooden
goods, and the origin of the fire is
not known. Howell, Orr * Co.,
occupied two-thirds of tho upper
floor as a cotton storage room. A
brick wall separates them from the
hardware room.
The building is a very tall one,
and the telegraph lines that run in
front of it hampered the firemen
and there was a considerable delay
in running up the extension ladders
and getting the hose to the windows.
By tha'. time the smoke was pouring
forth in great volumes, the upper
part of the building being at times
entirely hidden from view. Thus
started one of the heaviest fires in
Charlotte's history.
In one hour's time the great
warehouse was a mass of ruins.
Wall after wall fell, crushing in
the rear ends of the brick block
facing Trade street east from the
corner of College.
At 5:30 o'clock the big ware-house
was in complete ruins. The
stores of Harrison Watts, W. K.
Burwell and II. G. Springs, on the
north, were burning.
The stores of J. W. Brown, J. T.
Scarboro, J. A. Overcash, Southern
Chemical Company, H. G. Link,
Field Bros., R. A. Duncan, W. II.
Hoover and the offices of J. H.
Sloan & Co., were crushed in by
falling walls.
The livery stables, restaurants
and saloons opposite Howell, Orr
& Co., were saved. The IOBS is not

HEIRS TO A LARGE ESTATE.
Somo of Them Live in Forsyth and
Guilford Counties.
A special telegram from Altoona,
Pa., BayB that several persons in
that vicinity- have employed attor-neys
to press their claims as heirs
in the estate of Robert Edwards,
valued at $500,000,000. The sup-posed
estate consisted of eight-six
acres of land fronting on the Bat-tery
and extending upon what is
now Broadway. The land was se-cured
by Robert Edwards from
King George I. In 1770 Robert
Kdwards leased the land to the
English Government, and soon after
died. His nephew and namesake
succeeded to the estate. This
second Robert Edwards, during the
Revolutionary war, made a second
lease to the English Government
for ninety-nine years. The heirs
claim the property should revert to
them, as the leases have expired.
The Sentinel is informed that
there wero three Edwards brothers
who came to this country from
England. One settled in New York,
one in Pennsylvania and the third
in Chatham county, N. C. The
New York brother (owner of the
estate) returned to England and
died. He left no heirs, except the
two brothers, who died many years
ago.
Several descendants from the
Chatham county brother are resi-dents
of Forsyth and Guilford
counties. Among the number be-ing
Messrs. George Edwards, and
W. A. and David Walker, of Win-ston.
If tho large New York estate is
ever divided amoug the living, the
descendants in this section hope to
come in for their share.—Winston

The World's Fair Prize for Rice.
( i.AKKTON, April 23.—It will
doubtless be a surprise to you
readers to learn that the World's
Fair prize for the finest rice was
gained by n North Carolinian in
