Wgj ~ " ? TWO MORE BARBECUES ON LAST FRIDAY, ;? - I went to two barbecues last Fri-; day, one at Young's Grove where the campaign lor the varei.ou-e v.as held j f and one at Mr. D. 11. Uuifacre's near j St. Phillips school house. There was a very large crowd at Young's Grove as there always is on any public occasion and the speakers who are conducting the campaign for the warehouse and other matters pertaining to the farmers had good attention. The same speakers that were at New1 berry the day before spoke here 01: j Friday. ; As stated elsewhere the cotton 1 ^ rtflenvor) I graaer ior urns uuunu aaau^ . i at the meeting at Xewberrv or. Thursday and the money for his salary r and other expense pledged. This jjt -is a great thing for the cotton seller ^ and we should' think n good?thir.g for R the cotton buyer. He will know ? what he is getting and the seller will know what he is selling. In, other r words it stabilizes the price of cotI ton and the man who has good cotJ " ?-a. T+ i lor win gei a just price iur a. ^ ft has proven of great benefit where the r grader has been established. And | then there will be ample provision made for warehousing the cotton ir this county. That will also be a-good; thing for all parties concerned. In the afternoon I drove over tc \ Mr. Halfacre's and there was a good crowd at his barbecue. It only proves what has written before that [ the people seem to be barbecue hun^ gW this year. The crops down this v " " ' ? -1 -JT side are 2:00a our mere :? nsea 01 rain particularly for the corn. The roads dusty and where they have been fresh worked are especially dusty and will remain so until there is a rain and then if they are dragged they will remain good until winter. E. H. A.

To support the large family of his mother on their too small farm Jefferson turned to the law. In seven years at the bar he doubled his estate and increased his slaves to 400. Buying the little mountain at whose feet he was born, he built upon its summit from plans of his own drawing, with bricks of his o^n making, and vrith wood of his own cutting, the noblest house in all Virginia. There at Monticello he made his home ever after. Jefferson's law practice continued rapidly to grow until it amounted to O ~of\ ct vwr whwi hp nhsirutnnojl forever to prosecute George in in the great and general court of mankind. He had heard the first ca!l of the Involution while a law student in Williamsburg. Its clarion had been ringing in his ears ever since he stood, an eager looker-on, in rhe door of the house of burgesses. He saw Washington in his seat and he saw his own friend, Patrick Henry, a fiddling Virginian like himself, holding ihe floor amid cries of treason as he invited the king to profit by the example of Oae sar. who had his Brutus. and Charles I, who had his Cromwell. The sword, the tongue and tlio- pen of American freedom were weil met thar memorable day. After the pen had waited twelve years for its mm to speak Jefferson sat in the congress at Philadelphia. The squire of Monticello was a silent member, as silent as the squire'of Mount Vernon. Op portunity and duty wenr straignt t<? those t\vo speechless congressmen as the needle leaps to a loadstone. After serving as governor of Virginia and member of congress Jefferson wa? sent as minister to ih^ court of France. "You replace Doctor Franklin," the Count Venrenner said to him on his arrival in Paris. "I succeed him," the new envoy happily replied: "no one can replace Doctor Franl.Mn." Six weeks and a day after he had seen that old France of the Bourbon* crash beneath the wails of the Bastille Jefferson left Paris to become onr first secretary of state. Taking his scat :u the rijrht oi* V.'ashin.uton lie was face to face across the cabinet i-a'.Ic with Alexander Hamilton, the secretary the treasury. By nature and training the two were as opposite in their political opinions ni iheir chairs, and they found themselves', as .Te'it'erboii sj'id. '"pitted like litrlitiriir cocks." As ih-\ i'o'iiihi aii'l ihe feathers i*e\v a triv.i; erowV. collected behind erch to urire on its favorite in t!:at cockrntr main over which Washington had the unhandiness to preside.

His early life was passed at Mont- ja pelior, the farm which his srundfafner '# had wrested from the Indians; from $ it ho drew his. only private income, j ;ind at last ho was buried in its soil. 5 He was dependent on his-father until he- was fifty, when the latter died and i [he place became his own, with 100 slaves, who continued always to adiress him simply as "Master Jimmv." ? i Standing only live feet six inches s. md one-quarter inches, he was. with jrant the smalk. of our presidents. 5 Naturally thin and frail his zeal for ' ?tudy nearly wrecked his health while ! t student at Princeton college, where | "or months at a time he slept only | ;Iiree hours out of tne 'i?. unnne'j m :or military duty when the Revolution nine, lie went to the Virginia legisla- w :ure instead.
