relatives of mine and I would be glad
to correspond with them. My father
and mother were born and raised in
Pitt, county. My grandfather

grandmother was named Hannah.
My father's name was Lacy Braxton.
One of his brothers was named
another was

Charles. He had one sister who mar-
a man by the name of Luke Lo-
hon or There may have
been more brothers and sisters, but
these are all that I can call to mind
now.
My father's first wife and my moth-
was Elizabeth Parker. There were
three children born to that union;
the first one named Marion died in
infancy, the second, Elbert, lived to
be about years old and died in
Tennessee, the third and last one was

My mother died in Pitt county in 1846
and my father married a second time
in 1848 or His last wife was
named Tripp, daughter of
Tripp, of Pitt county. They
moved to Tennessee in 1849 and

there, except one who is living
in Texas.
My father has b en dead near

think, lived and died in Pitt county.
My mother had two brothers and two
sisters that I can remember, the
brothers being Frank and James Park
the sisters Sylva, who married
Simon Hamilton and Rachael, who
married a man by the name of Jesse
Braxton. They moved to Tennessee
in an early day.
If you can place this letter in the
hands of any of my relatives you will
confer a very great favor upon me,
and I will be glad if they will write
to me immediately.
Yours truly,

That Takes Us Back to Early
Folks Glad at His
Success In the North.
Occasionally there comes some
pleasant reminder of I'm happy

youth that is truly refreshing. The
editor is in receipt of such a letter
from a of other days, Mr. C.
P. Wilson, of Morristown, N. J., and
while it is written in a personal way,
he is so well remembered here that
we know many of our readers will

View of Revolution
From
This whole proceeding of
lurid tales of bloody battles
and constant federal slaughter in
Mexico has been a continuing Outrage
on the Mexican government, which
for many years has been one of the
most orderly, economical, and pro-
or the Western hemisphere.
The government has been singularly
free from graft; the modest federal
revenues have been devoted to works
of great public utility, and there has
a effort both to
diversify and enlarge native
tries and to Introduce new ones from
broad.
It Is a bold to proclaim
that there is any serious percentage,
the people, outside of the old-time
bandits and professional revolution-
whom President put out of
business years ago, who are
with the administration. The
whole present petty disturbance Is
purely the result of the obsession of
young a resident of the
city, who became fired with the
that he was a bigger man than j
but who mustered only a hand-
of votes, and hence resorted
the defunct remedy of stirring up two
Classes of disturbers of the peace
the one the survivors of the free-
booting bands, and the other the
literates, who accept what comes to
them by word of mouth as a new-
gospel of adventure.

In the county. A number of these boys
entered corn contest last
year, and the Judging has come
for the winners in the contest to re-
their rewards.
The meeting was not largely at-
tended as It should have been, but a
number of the boys, and farmers
from various sections of the county
were present. Mr. J. F. Evans, head
of the demonstration work in the
county, called the meting to order,
and asked Mr. I. head of
the boys corn clubs in the State, to
preside.
Mr. stated that the govern-
or of the State had caused to be
ed diplomas to every boy in the State
who made as much as bushels of
corn on an acre of land last year.
In the entire State of these

come to Pitt county, no other county
in the State having surpassed that
number. These diplomas are hand-

thought they had taken poison by
and for some unexplained
reason. The latest theory is that coal
gas escaping from a stove In an ill-
ventilated room killed them, but in-
death from coal gas with-
out a sign of suffering or struggle
seems an improbable solution.
Upholders of the poisoning theory
are sustained by the discovery of
cyanide of potassium when an
was held. Those who held the
coal-gas theory are strengthened in
their belief by the fact that a cat
confined in the room died of coal-gas
poisoning, and physicians examining
the blood of the dead bodies found
conditions indicating the possibility
of death from carbon monoxide.
If the two persons were killed by
coal gas the case was, of course, one
of accidental killing but it happened
that both bodies had traces of
of potassium. On the other
hand, even If the poison was
by one with intent to murder
and taken subsequently with suicidal
intent, the carbon monoxide in the
air might have poisoned their blood
simultaneously with the action of the
cyanide of potassium, or might have
been taking effect slowly before the
work of the murderer and suicide be-

third person may have murdered the

was by Virginia to in-

Canal, and by giving coherence to i

well as by extending the influence
of water rates to inland towns, to
determine how far steamboat service
could be on the Sounds
To those ends the company has,
for some months, been carrying gen-
cargoes to New Bern and Wash-
and, to some extent, to Kin-
and Greenville also. For the lat-
towns the freight was handled
from vessels at railroad wharves in-
to cars placed for the purpose, the
local rates to destination being
paid to the railroad company.
company's rates from Norfolk
to New Bern and Washington are
about per cent, less than rail
rates, but higher than the charges of
independent vessels. The tariff is
based on necessarily uniform service,
but having corporate management
and responsibility.
The charge above
ed, during its imposition, will require
the inland freight to be drayed from
the vessel's wharf to the local rail-
road station. Indeed at this writ-
a letter from our New Bern agent
says that his application for cars to
be placed for vessel freight was re-
fused under instructions from Nor-
folk, not to place cars for vessel
lines from Norfolk, hut to require
the freight to be drayed to
warehouses; in verification of which
the Traffic Manager of the railroad
company, when applied to, said that
his company would not permit the
Lake Drummond Company's boats to
berthed at its wharves at New
Bern and Washington to land freight
to be forwarded to inland towns, and
it would be received only at the com-
regular receiving station
If, therefore, the railroad com-
intend to obstruct the inland
movement, and if the Lake Drum-
Company could be diverted
from its mission, or be discouraged,
the methods above described seem
to be thoroughly adapted to the
pose.

the trip he mires or his wagon breaks
down, and be sees worse mishaps
ahead. He backs out and drives
home with damaged outfit and worse
damaged temper. If lie is a
fellow, he may try this same
performance the next clay and the
next, with the results; while
his products are spoiling or perhaps
finally of no value at all; and instead
of receiving profits on the yield of
the farm for that season he faces a
dead loss.
All these because the only route
leading from his farm to a railway
station is a mere travesty of a public
highway, broken by zigzag gullies,
lined with ruts axle deep, a
of bumps and hollows, slopes,
huge boulders that rise like immense

during the whole of the rainy season,

fact that the State organization has
been invited to hold Its re-union and
convention in this city this year, and
members were reminded that they
will be expected later to enter hear-
into the arrangements for the
entertainment of the visitors. The
last re-union and convention was
held in Norfolk, Va at which time

tended an invitation to hold tho next

It takes an effort to get business

there is an effort to bring it.
After a fight extending over years,
congress has passed the Appalachian

government are in our mountain

sand-clay road built under the
of the office at Tallahassee,
Fla., feet wide and surfaced with
about Inches of sand-clay mixture,
cost per mile, or about cents
per square yard. In case changes of
grade have to be made with
cuts and fills, the cost would
be proportionally greater than the
figures given above. There can be
no question, however, that under all
circumstances this form of
is cheaper than macadam.
The possibilities of the sand-clay
road may not be fully realized by the
public for a long time to come, still
tho progress being made in this form
of road building in nearly every part
of the country is encouraging. Such
benefits as have come to Richland
county. S. C, Pike county, Ala., Dal-
las county, Ala., Cumberland county,
N. and many other sections
throughout the Atlantic and Gulf
States from the use of sand-clay
roads should be a
for a general study of the sub-
those parts of the country
where these materials exist in
quantities.
Sand and clay had always been
abundant in Pike county, Ala., still
a combination of the two for road
purposes was not thought of until
four years ago. At the present time
there are nearly miles of sand-
clay road in this county, which for
all practical purposes, are as useful
us macadam roads, and which have

less width would have cost in this
section. With this system the re-
section of the county may be
reached, which would not be the case

road in this county will soon be

encouragement. The first
g done in this locality was to
f which of the clays accessible
would make a good road. After this
important matter had been decided,
bonds were issued to raise money to
equipment. This comprised eight
to
each, wagons, plows, scrapers, and
hand tools.
The extent to which this form of
road construction can used In pub-
road improvement throughout the
country can hardly be overestimated.
In making small repairs to roads, if,
instead of filling with brush,
a few loads of sand or gravel from
sand bars and gravel beds found along
the streams in hilly portions of the
country were hauled to the road,

It has been found that this kind

northwestern part of tho country as
well as to the southern, and it is
believed that, it will be found worthy
of more general study than it has
ever received heretofore. Its study
should be of Interest to the public
schools in the rural districts of the
country. If school boys were en-

the boys. Besides this actual
a lasting benefit would be
given to that community from this
simple study of a valuable process.
For a large part of the country, the
sand-clay road is the only road
or within the reach of tho rural
districts. It requires less money to
build than any other typo of road
except the earth road and loss money
to repair. It is simpler in its con-
than any other except the
earth road, and lasts longer with the
same amount of repair.
ANSWERING QUESTIONS.
Missouri n. R. Agents Must Answer
Questions.
There is a bill before
legislature which makes it a mis-
demeanor for a railroad agent to
refuse to answer a civil question;
meaning probably an uncivil answer
to a civil question. It would so
hard to such a law that it
would be better not to have it at
all. But the bill doubtless has its
origin In a situation. There
are many, many uncivil answers to
questions asked by the traveling pub-
Many of them are no doubt so
simple and unnecessary as to arouse
the Impatience of the agent and so
he sputters out a swift and
factory answer. One cannot alto-
blame him, for we would all
do about as ho does if we were in
his place.
But this, of course, is no excuse.
The Bible somewhere commends those
who are easily and
so the spirit of gentility and kindness
should ever be on its guard against
those who attack, it with Ignorant
and thoughtless questions. And
then It Is really a great pleasure,
even in moments of provocation to
be serene, kindly and submissive. And
it should also be remembered that
many people travel so little that
when they do stray from home they
are so suspicious of their own
edge and ability that they reach out
for support in every direction. They
are entitled to consideration. They
should be tenderly cared

At a time when the questions of
juvenile reformatories and juvenile
police courts are being discussed
all sections of the State, the appeal
of the Jackson Training

committee, should carry some force
to the hearts of thinking men and
women. It is not a matter of

f the noblest works that human
hands can salvation of the
young and growing boy. It stands
as a bulwark between him and the
devil; it saves him from the

with adult criminals. The Stonewall
Jackson Training school is giving to
the State a clean and upright citizen

He will carefully consider the man

And we too that every fa-
whose hoy is still living will feel
his pulses beat quicker, and will
swell the contribution of his

repeatedly stated, the children of
the public schools throughout the
State will on that day contribute one
penny or more to the Bill Nye

A Larger Acreage of Cotton, Corn and
Wheat Expected.
After a dry December and
there have been fine rains in the
cotton belt and the New Orleans
report indicate that a great
crop of cotton will be planted. That
paper says that with the approach of
the time for active operations in the
fields the absence of sufficient
became a serious drawback. Far-
could not properly prepare their
lands, and it was evident that seed-
would be useless without
moisture. During the past week or
ten there have been quite cop-
rains and in the drought
section of Texas there have been
downpours, which greatly
changed the aspect of affairs. As a
result farmers have been encouraged
to redouble their preparations for the
season's crops and with anything like
reasonable weather from now on an
increased area will undoubtedly be
planted in cotton, corn, wheat and
other staples. The recent rains have
also greatly improved the for
early vegetables the truck far-
are consequently happy.
The high prices which have
for during the past
years have undoubtedly
aged farmers to plant more extensive-
of that crop than ever before. A
good cotton crop is needed and Is
to sell at paying prices even if
the 15-cent price of the present sea-
son be not reached. The lesson of
proper crop diversification has been
thoroughly learned in the South
that is little danger that farm-
will neglect oilier crops to devote
their whole energy to cotton. Still
with the steady increase in
and with the temptation held out
by the lucrative price, tho desire to
plant more cotton
will be The advance
all indicate that throughout
the cotton belt large planting is be-
arranged for. Mules and
implements and supplies are be-
for on a more liberal
scale than for several years past. All
that was needed to make increased
acreage certain was the advent of
sufficient rain. Now that the rain has
come we may expect to hear of active
work in the field from every part of
the Chronicle.
What the Law Makers are Doing
Two Successful Farmers.
In a issue of an exchange
the other day the following two ex-
of successes by progressive
farmers was noticed. They are
here for tho information and in-
of our readers.
Last year Mr. D. E. of
Princeton, N. C, planted a piece of
corn after oats, which made a very
yield. From one and
acres he gathered eight two-horse
loads. This was fifteen stands or five
barrels, making twenty five bushels
each load. Two hundred bushels
for one and three-quarter acres is
certainly a large yield. This laud
Since planted in clover.
Mr. John Stephenson, of Pleasant
drove, N. C., and his son, Mr. It. I.
who farm together raised
good crops again last year. On their
farm they had an acre of corn which
followed cotton an made a very fine
yield. They broke the land with a
two-horse plow and made the rows
four feet apart, with the corn
inches in the rows. They used
three sacks of 8-3-3 guano and one
hundred of nitrate of soda
and one hundred pounds of top dress-
They made 1-2 bushels of
corn, bundles of fodder, and
bushels of on the

The warmest debate of the day
curred on the bill amending the char-
of Elizabeth City, and reducing
the number of wards from seven to
four.
There were a number of bills, and
any former bills passed second and
third readings.
While the house occupied most of
day In further consideration of
the revenue bill, which had to be
gone into carefully, there was time
for the introduction of numerous new
j bills, most of them local.

introduced one to change

his part of the cost. There are so
many people in the world who are
not willing to benefit themselves a

Committee to Confer Witt Other
Towns us to Forming League.
Greenville's interest in baseball
the coining season was shown by the
large attendance of enthusiasts at a
meeting in the city hall Tuesday
night, something like being pres-
Mr. J. D. James was asked to
preside over the meeting, and Mr.
G. J. Woodward acted as secretary.
In calling the meeting to order and
stating its Object, Mr. James said he
had received several letters from
Kinston, Grifton and Ayden asking
that Greenville join with those towns
in establishing a league to be com-
posed of strictly home players, each
town to have two games each week,
beginning about the middle of June
and continuing until September.
It was decided to appoint a com-
consisting of Dr. E. A.
and Mr. J. B. James, to meet the
representatives of the other towns at
an early day and get their
for forming the league, and re-
port the result of their conference
back to another mass meeting to be
held as soon thereafter as possible.
The meeting of these representatives
will be held next week.
It was stated with authority
at this meeting Tuesday night that
parties have all their plans ready to
build baseball park here if the
league is organized, and that they
will have the park in readiness In
ample time for the opening of the
ball season.
So it looks like Greenville can en-
joy much good ball playing the com-
summer. As soon as the con-
of representatives of the
four towns is held and the result re-
ported, further detail, be given.
