We published last week an article stating that the ordinary wes- tern corn brought to this section was unlit for seed corn, for the reason that it will not come up. Messrs. C. W. Garrett Modoc, N.

advertise for sale elsewhere in this issue the celebrated Weller corn for seed. Those who want good seed corn should get this. Its fine qualities aro well known in this section. An Erroneous Report. It has been reported from Raleigh that the census officials had reported Halifax to be the worst off county in the State and that a special investigation would be required.

Mr. Sloan, who has charge of the work in this county, has informed us that so far as he knew the report was not authorized. The census agents are all sworn to secrecy and can not give information. He said his reports went to State agent Lile but he does not think Mr. Lile had authorized such a report.

He says there is doubtless a misunderstanding in regard to the matter. Halifax county had been extremely unfortunate in crops and for this reason only had the special investigation been ordered. In this connection we want to advise all who receive inquiries from Mr. Sloan relative to mortgages. to answer fli POWDER Will Western Corn do for Planting.

The Potecaai Patron says relative to this important question "Wc received last week a letter from Mr. S. N. Buxton, of Jackson, asking us to warn the peoplo against using the corn shipped herefrom the west for planting. We most cheerfully do so, and urge upon our people to see to it that they plant note but good seed.

Every farmer knows that it is important to plant good sound seed, and we feel all that is necessary in this instance is to say that Mr. Buxton and many others planted some of the corn shipped from abroad, aud, to use his language, "it made nothing." We thank Mr. Buxton for calling our attention to this matter, and hofe our people will take warning. Wo commend this warning of Mr. Buxton to our readers as being good and timely, and as an example that all should follow.

Knocked off the track and In stantly Killed. On Friday last as the passenger train from Raleigh was descending Gaston hill, about a mile and a half above Gaston, the locomotivo knocked off tho track and instantly killed Miss Mary House.

Miss Bobbilt 0 line near being run over in her efforts to save Miss House. The engine brushed tho skirt of her dress as she jumped out ot the way.

Miss House had been re peatcdly warned of the danger of walk' ing on the track and had several narrow escapes from death previously, but on ac count of her extreme age these warnings made but little impression on her.

The jury after hearing the evidence ami making such further investigation as was deemed necessary, rendered a verdict in accordance with the above facts, and exonerating the engineer of any responsibility, he having done everything in his power to prevent the accident.
