'^as true, it the .3laaior they "‘iteiDBat *» Mss 'JIUu Some time ago the Bepnblicans ol the oounty arranged a list of ap­ pointments, for public speaking. They have had large crowds o-it to hear onr speakere and good order has prevailed with the exception of one place, some of onr Democratic fiiends. came out and tried to get up a dis- tnrbance. On last Monday night at Cana, while the Bepublican can­ didate for the legislature was ad- d r ^ in g a large M d orderly crowd, one Dr. Bodwell from Eastern North Carolina, and his farther ia- law J. M, Cain, marched into the academy with a white supremacy banner, and two United States flags, (a flag which our Demoei-at ic friends would like to traiiple ander their feet) and a lot of boys and a few men, and on taking their seats began to interrupt the speaker by talking and asking him questions, until it got so outrage­ ous, that a Populist remarked, “ T H A T IT W A S A DISfiKACE TO T H E DEMOCRATIC PABTY.” Whereup­ on Mr. B. Frost got up and asked thisci’owd of disturbei’s, to keep quiet and give Mr. Sheets a respec­ tful hearing whereupDa he was told to shut up and sit down. Mr, Fros;- informed the toughs, that he would shut up when he got ready. It was disgraceful conduct, and no gentleman would have engaged in it^ W ith these preliminaries we will proceed to call the attention of lie public to the bluff. The Democratic exesutive committee through ils chairaiau has gotten out a list uf appointments published since the Republicans published theitis, and our Democratic friends have made appointnients all over the county and they conflict with our appointments, and they invite US to a joint discussion of the iss­ ues, Now if they really vauted a joint discu^ion why did tney no; confer with the Chairman of the Republican executive committee, so that these appointments wonld not conflict! The can­ didates cannot be at two plaues at oncer They well knew that we were not going to cancel our ap­ pointments for theirs, for we are havinj good crowds and we don’t wish to disappoint the people. If they had r^ lly wantedajoiot can­ vass. they wonld have confered with oiir chairman, and had they agreed, theircaudidates could have met oars at these places. Ifow we have this to say, we believe in joint discussions if they are prop­ erly conducted, and the toughs and cat throats are excluded, and desen cy and order are the ruling force?, but if the Eepublicanshave to sub­ mit to such indignities as were at tempted at Cana on last Monday night, by the “ white supremacy.” howlers, then we beg to be excused for we want no such cond*ct at our speakings, and we want to say right here to our Bepublican friends, in the county, if you go out to hear the Democrats bs gen. tlemeu and act with common ev ery day decency, and if yon have no respect for yourselves have some for the Bepnblican party, and don’t disgrace it by siaking an ass of yourself on such occasion^. If you cannot behave yourselves at these public speakings, for the sake of decency and good morals stay at home. W e are going to canva;ss Davie county from center to cir- enmfrense and we want the people to cone out and hear us, W e are battling for the rights and liber­ ties of the great common people, and v ill keep op the fight autil the battle ia won. Our Democratic friends can make their canvass as it suits them, since they have ig­ nored ordinary methods commonly practiced by gentlemen of either party. W e are paddling onr own boat, and shall keep it np until the victory ia won on Angost the 2nd. I f th e Oana episode i»» sample of the methods they would adopt in a joint discussion, we beg to plead being geotlemeta, and ask to be exonsed, far w t bcdiere in law, or­ der so d jastioe. M xi »- boveatoHttaMAJi NO 1 3 , Senator Frank on Deni' ocratic Extravagance &c. “You know that I waA a member of that legislature and I fought ev­ ery inch of this nefarious election law and .amendment I ask to have and then ; one republican appointed on the el­ ection board in each of the ninety seveu counties but the democrats refused. I then asked to have a jwpnlist appointed but they re­ fused that; Then for my own county I ask them to ; appoint a democrat of my own choice, b a t ,they would not grant me that. I belong to the largest anti-amend­ ment chib in weatern North Caro­ lina, aud in it are 31 democrats. The Democrats of that legislature were greatfor retrenchment and re lorm. They said the repuulicaus stole every thing, aud they were goiug to set things to rights.. And here is the way they did it. This election law will cost the taxpay­ ers of North Carolina S60,000; the state election board cost $5,000; the election board of each county will cost 8227, so that the total ex ­ pense of the state will be $8 8 , 0 0 0 for an unfair and unjust election law. The fusion legislature added $5,000 to the appropriation for the state university,, at which the democrats raised a great cry, They said it was an injustice to the sectarian colleges. But now they vote 810,000 more than that and for a bath system: Then they give as much to the female college as the fusion legislatare did, and S.5,000 more for a gymnasium, When onr legislature left there was 8100.000 in the treasury, and the state bonde were quoted at .08. Now it is all gone, aud the treasurer says they have no money to pay bills, and bonds are down to OS cents.” Our Democratic friends are fond of talking about fusion extravagan ce, yet we do not hear them say anything about Democratic extrav­ agance. Instead of appropriating suiiicieut money to enlarge the Asyluni at Morganton for the care of the poor unfortunate insane of the State who are confined in Jal- es, and who need treatment at such places, they pass laws to hold two elections this year in North Caro­ lina, for what purpase? For parti- zau purposes. Senator Franks shows that it will cost nearly one. hundred thousand dollars to hold this election. W ho pays for these elections? The tax payeis. E&ad what, Dr. Murphy says. “ We have exhausted all our means to a- rouse the public up to the needs for more room for the insane, bnt so far without any effect and I have almost become discouraged and feel like giving up,” Is it not a shame that such a stale of affairs exist, that thousands of dollar’ can be expended for elections and the poor unfortunate insane in many instances are lying in jail. _ Head­ er reflect. W hither are we •drift­ ing! BEAD, BEAD, Several months ago a man by the name of Jas. M. Allen came to Mocksville and went around among the Eepublicans soliciting subscri ­ bers to a paper published in B al - eigh, called the “State Journal.” Mr. Allen succeeded in getting a number of subscribers at this place, we had read s«^veral copies of his paper before he came he"e, and it was what we call a Bepublican pa­ per. Mr. Alien called on us and gave us an account of his trip over the state in the intrest of his paper. Prom what he said to us he had been having fine sni-cesa among re- publicans. Some weeks after Mr. Allen was here we received a copy of his paper, and instead of being a llepnbliean paper, it was being edited in the interest of the Demo­ cratic Simmons disfranchising scheme. W e have made inquiry among those who took the papo- at this place and paid the money for it, and not a single one of them has received a copy of this paper which they paid for, jet the Demo­ cratic managers in this county are able to get this paper and are mail ing it free to Eepablioans in the countj . Is.it not strange that Mr. Allen can furnish his paper to Democratic Bxejutive Committees. Yet he can not .send them to the men who paid him their monej'! The people of this cjiiniy are too honorablL and high miu.led to be influenced by a man who goes over the state aud gels their money and puts it in his pocket, and does not serd them the paper, yet he can furnish them to Democrats, Why? j Why?

W heu a falsehood is sought to be impressed that way, it fails because the lie is apparent. It is true that evil passions may be aroused by an immoral picture; but the meanness of it is upon the surfac*', It is equally true that righteous feeliugs can be aroused by a virtuous picture; biit its vir­ tue is upou its face. So, in any case, a picture must be true to facts; if not, the lie it contains is so obvious that it kills its effects.

Reports are comming in every day that the crops are flue and in good condition. The political situation as regards the amendment question, is not al" together as encouraging as Demo­ crats generally would like to see it. Even here in eastern Carolina, where negro rule nie;iuS more a- gainst (he white people than any­ where else in the State, there are Populists and othei-s who are try­ ing to make the illiter-ate whites believe that if the amendmei t is passed they will be disfranchiiiei, and it is hard to make them be­ lieve difterently. It will take very har<l work to c»rry it here aud there is need^ a house-to-house canvass. But the Democrats of eastern Carolina will do their full duty. R ecord Ago nts.

Mr. B ryan is tbe recognized leader of tb a t sentim ent th a t felt itself sub­ merged four years ago, aud whicli at the present tim e is by no m eans united in bis favor. However, there are so m any differences in tbe party of woe this .vear tb a t Democracy w ill lose nothing by retaining the sam e leader. No m au can lead it to victory, and no Issues tb a t couFd be compiled could help it in this extrem ity. There is no excuse for a change in tbe adm inistratiou of the G overnm ent of the United States .at this time. W e have been perm itted to see for our­ selves the w orkings of the Republican adm inistration, aud a mllilon busy workshops testify to its fruitfulness. There is no reasou w hy this state of affairs should I'ot continue as long as the people ot the country w ish it, and ■ there is uo reason to believe tb at tbe people—tbe people who are the heart of the m achine—desire to return to the disturbances and poverty th a t m arked recent Dem ocratic adm inistra­ tions of national affairs. The dem and for linaucial legislation w as great. TIm t the KepuijIIcan party faithfully kept its prom ises In this re­ spect has bound to it, w ith ties of per­ fect harm ony aud accord, tbe business men who baii experienced one panic, because of the prospects of an unstable currency. The blessed w orkings of the protective tariff have given its re­ w ard to the toiling m asses, who earn their bread by ' sw eat of tlieir brow. They !)re too well pleased to return nny more to nervous dread of starva­ tion th a t they ouce knew . By this sam e tarltf the m anufacturer has been protected in bis investm ents, and lias been perm itted to provide w ork for w illing labor. It has been a law th a t worked tor all classes equally well. The wise adm inistr-ation of President M cKinley in the troublous Jaya through w hich the nation passed while a European country learned our strength and sincerity has not been lost upon tbe people. They m ay claim adherence to the D em ocratic part.v, but thousands and tens of thousands of them rejoice a t the backbone of this Republican adm inistration in its gi-asp of tbe unforeseen issti-^s grow ing out of the Spanish w ar. They adm ire the m anner in w hich w e have dealt w ith the Philippines, w ith Cuba and ■with Porto Rico. The isl.'inds in the Orient, it is adm itted by .ill the thoughtful, have been the m eans of opening to us tbe great m arkets of th e E ast. The South, especially, is sensible of this, for her exports w ill .;o there m ore largely than to any other point on tbe globe. O ur dealing w ith tlie island of Cuba has won the praiso of the entire w orld, w hile little Porto EIco is bloom ing like a tropical rose, it is under this adm inistration, and Its dense population w ill soon be beyond w ant and care. V /ith tbe history ot tour ye!,rs to tu rn to, the expectant and approving gaze of the voters of the country, w hat shall WG say of Sir. M cKinley? Is there any doubt th a t be w ill be re-, turned to the office ot chief executive of the nation? H e stands upon a plat-i form of fulfilled prom ises—of prom ­ ises faitbtnlly kept and ot wiiich tbe people of tbe country have been the direct beneficiaries. There is no long­ er a cry of bard tim es. Ou the con­ trary, the m asses have spent more money in the last year In their am use­ m ents than in any preceding year- of our history. Aud they are still spend­ ing it, and they have it to spend. T bat Is a criterion-the money tb at goes for pleasure and tbe money th a t goes into the savings bank. A sk about these ac­ counts of the w orking people and lis­ ten to tbe charm ing stoi’y tb a t comes from the bankei-s’ lips. A rrayed against existing conditions —against prosperity, visible and unde­ niable — stands the D em ocratic party. Like Poe’s raven, it looks gloomily on the scene, uojieless of any good—a m ere omen of m orbid melancholy. D em ocracy m erely says loudly, “ We protest.” The only policy of the Dem­ ocratic party is to deny th a t tbe peo­ ple are happy, to deny th a t they are w ell ted, to deny th a t w e are con­ tented, to deny th a t it is right to be prosperous. If they succeed in m ak­ ing a case ou these issues. B ryan will go into the office of President w ith a whoop, and ranting recklessness shall have taken prudence by the head and strangled it.

The poultry, when roaming at will about the orchard or pasture, have an abandant supply of animal food in the shape of insects, worms and snails, for which they are constantly on the lookout. This is why they do so well when allowed to roam about in this manner. The oue who has his hens confined should try and make up this deficiency, which can be done by feed­ ing meat scraps, cut bone or livers. They can be easily secured from the local butcher. Sow Some Orchard Grass. Timothy is most commonly sown with clover, despite the fact that it re­ quires two to three weeks longer to grow than clover does before it is ready to cut. If orchard grass were sown, the hay would be better,because the orchard grass and clover are both ready for cutting at the same time. The orchard Krass is apt to grow in bunches the first year, but as clever is a biennial it dies out after it has seeded, and the orchard grass will then extendaudoccupy the whole sur­ face the same as timothy or Jane grass would do. B«cipe For Goiilters and Squirrels. The following recipe for the de- fitruction of gophers and squirrels has been highly recommended: **Take a five-gallon can, put a stick of phos- phoras with a little cold water in the bottom of it. Pour in hot—not boil­ ing—water, just hot enough to melt the phosphorous gradually. Add two pounds of sugar and stir. Then add corn meal and flour equal in quanti­ ties to make a thick batter. Then stir in whole wheat until the batter is quite stiff. Pour in at the same time fifteen or twenty drops of rhodium. The wheat will absorb all the water and the mass will become hard. For use, chip off small pieces to the size of a hickory nut and place it in the runs.’* Selliiit; Yoang: Piss. Young pigs always bring a price that is considerably above their pres­ent v&lae if killed to {ninisli meat. The young pig will increase in weiBlit very rapidly in proportion to the food it consames, and this fact is sure to be discounted by the seller when he 4^83 the price. The young pigs also keeps the tenderness of flesh and fine flavor of the roasting-pig stage until it is several months old, and a roaet pig weighing eighty to ninety pounds is as good eating as one killed -when it is not more than eight weeks old. This, however, depends on how the pig has been kept. If allowed to sur­feit itself and become dyspeptic, the meat will show that the animal has had fever and will be neither tender nor healthful as food. i Potato Planter. E)t. Wattr Fotfttoes were planted with a home­ made planter consisting of a shoe from a press drill so placed in a frame on four wheels that it runs at a depth of four inches. Immediately behind and fastened to the shoe is a tin fun­ nel through which the cuttings may be dropped behind the shoe, and in the slit thus made. The dirt falls back alone -as Boon as the shoe and funnel have passed, thus planting and covering at one operation and all cuttings at a uniform depth. This takes a team and driver and one to drop from the basket of cuttings placed in front of the dropper, who sits behind the funnel and lets a steady stream of cuttings fall from the hand. If the team is held at a slow walk, this distributes the eyes at from six to ten inches apart.—Thomas S. Pease, in Orange Judd Farmer. SclectlDs; <}rala For Seed. If farmers would select their largest and plumpest grain for seed they could seed much less heavily than they do and grow larger crops as well. This has been many times proven by care­ ful experiment. There was a saving in the amount of seed used and a gain in the amount of crop grown that made a great difference in the cost of grow­ing the crop, in some cases all the dif­ ference between a profit and loss. The same thing is true of garden seeds. One had better pay a dollar a pound for plump, well-developed and well- ripened seeds than to have inferior seed given to them. Probably seed will average better this year than it has some years, because of the favor­able weather for ripening and caring it, but we rep'eat our advice to the gardener to test his seed by putting some of it between damp cloths to see how much will germinate before sow­ing, It is provoking to sow a lot of seed with great care and find that but a small part comes up, perhaps just enough to encourage oue to care for the crops, instead of digging it np and putting in some other, and not enough to warrant the expectation of more than half a fair crop. Yet almost every gardener has had such an experience. TThere the Weed Seed I.»y. He had always had a love for out­door life, but came to outdoor work past middle life. He was an inland, surronnded by a gulf of neighborly advice, into which ran silently a strer-m of the elder ex­periences of bis fathers across the water.He himself experimented with a mixture of both. The neighbors carted off all the barn and stable manure and let it rot out of sight and smell, except the little dug into the garden patch.“Awfully wastefalV” he said, and gathered it up and spread it on a field destined for winter wheat. “Sie’ll be sorrowful ober dat!” said an old Dutch neighbor. “De manure is foil weed seed!”And sorrowful he was, for sorrel came np first before the wheat, and dog fennel succeeded in out-topping bothi“Worth nothing for hay, even!” he said. So he had to mow it and dry it and feed it to the flames.He swears he wUl keep a good, honest manure pile In the future, as his fathers did, and let it rot well, year in and year out, before applying it to the wheat land.—L. A. N., in National Bnral. riow lnc For Corn. Both deep and shallov plowing for corn have their ardent advocates. Where tbe land ia oofend witb bun- ! f . r s S i 5 S S M . ‘ r . 3plowing. The constant Tains carrw the soluble particles of fertility dow« deeper in the soil after each soaklngi ram. If plowed shallow the strata ol formerly plowed land lying immedi.i ately underneath will take up and hold most ot the soluble plant food" whereas if turned under to the usual depth It will soak into the subsoil; and being deeper than most plants seek their food, is almost lost as far as immediate returns are concerned. Only deeper plowing will make this locked-np fertility available for plant food. ^ With a stiff sod the conditions are almost tne same as when manure is applied to the surface and plowed' under Corn is not a deep feeder and a few inches below the top you will find a perfect network of fibrous roots. In an extremely dry season deep plowing for corn is of great ad­ vantage and extra largo crops are often grown from this practice. How- ever, in most sections the conditions are not favorable more thau one year in four for deep plowing. Shallow plowing will guard against the loss of fertility, as the growing crop in no season utilizes it all.—L. D. Snook, iu American Agriculturist. Take Advantttse of N ature’s Gifts. What the farmer wants is to have nature furnish his fertilizers. Com­mercial fertilizers are no doubt all right and some of them are excellent as well as being all their manufactur­ ers claim for them, but the slice which they cut off the profits of the farm is the thing that hurts the farmer. When farmers are practicing close farming—raising market stuff on from two to five acres and make a good living off it—why then it is a case of compulsion, but when the available land is in such quantities that strips or plots, and in some cases, fields can be allowed to rest why then there is hardly any reason at all why a man should part with his hard earned money by paying big fertilizer bills. Of course a Rowing crop is bound to take something, and in fact a great deal, from the soil which has got to be put back if any kind of a decent crop is expected in the future and na­ture comes to the farmer’s relief, for it provides for him many different plants that will not only grow and re­ store to the soil most of that which has been taken from it by numerous crops, but it will also furnish him with an abundance of hay with which to feed his stock. Farmers should not fail to take advantage of this gen­erous gift of nature and those who do so will find both themselves and their farms better off in the future,—Neff York Weekly Witness. Plghtius; the liettoee Drop. The most troublesome lettuce dis­ ease is what is known as the drop. This is caused by a fungus which ramifies through the soil but does not propagate by spores. This disease causes enormous losses. Some houses almost entirely succumb to it,whereas many other growers have from twen­ty-five to fifty per cent, of the disease iu their houses. It has been found that the best method of treating this disease is by the use of heat or steril­ization of the soil. Numerous ex­ periments with gas and chemicals have shown bnt the slightest efficiency in controlling this. Various methods are being tried to control this disease, one of which con­ sists in covering the soil w,ith a layer of abont one inch of sterilized soil. This succeeds in greatly reducing the loss. Two inches of sterilized soil is far superior to one, but the only ab­solute method known yet is to coni- pletely sterilize the soil in the house, ot at least heat it up to about 300 de­grees. This is done by placing two- inch tile in the soil about one foot deep and passing steam through them. With a large high-pressure boiler enormous quantities of soil can be heated up in a very short time to the requiste temperature. Plants grown in such soil grow faster. When this disease, moreover is once eradicated, care being taken to prevent inocula­ tion from refuse heaps, there appears to be no reason why the disease can­ not be kept out of the house indefi­ nitely. The same method of treat­ ment would appear to apply to some of the other fungous diseases which do not propagate by spores.—Profes­sor G. E. Stone, in American Agri­ culturist. _______ Safety in Traniplantlnv. Yon have known all your life prob­ ably that the earth must be packed close around the roots of trees or plants when resetting them. A writer in the Farmers’ Tribune tells of his experience in procuring this end and gives the reasons for its necessity: •“One ot the most helpful things I ever learned in horticulture was abont pnddling trees and all sorts of plants before setting them. The first thing every transplanted tree or plant mast do before it can grow iu its new location, is to heal the wounds made upon its roots and start new rootlets through which to absorb the moisture and food from the soil. The closer and more firmly the earth is pressed to them the more readily they can do this. It takes time for the particles of the soil to get into contact with the roots as it was before transplant­ ing, no matter how well the work is done. This is where puddling comes in. The cost is nothing, except a very little work. It ia done thus: “Near where the trees or plants are heel«d in, or the place where they are to be planted, dig a hole abont two feet in diameter and one foot deep. Fill it nearly full of water. Into this pnt mellow earth that is partly com­ posed ot clay and stir it nntil itisa mass of thin, sticky mud. As soon as the roots are trimmed ready for plant­ing, dip them into it bodily. If there is any delay abont planting and the mud dries so that it is not sticky,pnd- dle them again. When the mellow soil comes in contact with these muddy roots it will stick to them closely. Those who have never tried this plan can have no knowledge of ihe good that follows. I puddle almost every plant that I set and find that it al- wayspays. Cabbage- and sweet potato plants will start into new growth al­ most without wilting, no matter .what the weather may be at the time." Some of the mountains in the Orange Free State rise to an aititode of over 10.000 f a e t _________ THE BAR ASSOCIATION. Pleasurable Meeting of the Lawyers In Asheville. The N orth Carolina B ar Assocsiation ■net in Asheville Thursday m orning and President Charles F. W arren de­ livered the annual address on "The Standard of Adm ission and Legal Ethics.” .He urged a high standard of education before applicants are ad- nuit-ted to the bar. The pracftlce of w ritten exam inations which have been made m ore rigid, he advocated. He also suggested a longer tim e for train ­ ing lawyers, as is the tendency for all professions. Legal ethics Jiave not been given sufficient attention, and practical instruction should be_ given in it. Professional honor would be encouraged by this. Lawyers who have had actual experi­ ence at- th e bar are best gualiSed to teach young men, he said. He thought law yers should be respectful tow ard th e bench, but never obsequious, which he said never gained anything. H e closed by urging th e association to do all In its power to elevate the tone o t th e bar and better its members. The treasurer, J. Crawford Riggs, read his annual report, showing a m embership of over 300. The receipts, for the current year, have been $400.67, and there*is a total now on hand ot $'08.68. In th e afternoon three car loads rode over the various car lines of the city as ithe guests of th e local bar and they w ere given a reception a t the Swaunauoa County club, which was a very pleasant affair. Judge Burwell, of Charlotte, ad­ dressed th e association on the subject of the law as ito m arried women in Noirtih Carolina. He said the law reads th at the real and personal prop­ erty owned by a wom an oefore m ar­ riage m ay not be sold or encumbered after m arriage, except by th e hus­ band’s consent and except to provide for her personal expenses and th a t of her fam ily, and in his judgm ent it should not be changed. H e said the deoislons of th e suprem e court are final and ought to be respected and obeyed. He fuTther rem arked th a t th e divine law made the husband .the ruler of the household, and this law of the stV.e was sim ply in unison w ith that, and was for the better protection of women against dishonest m en who m ight attem pt to harrass them w ith nnjust claiims. A fter the coijclusion of ihis paper, perm ission was given to discuss It, but no rem arks w ere of­ fered. The following com m ittee was ap­ pointed on unWormity of legislation: John W .

No person is really alive whose liver is dead. During the winter most people spend nearly all their time in warm, stuffy houses or offices or workshops. Many don't get as much exercise as they ought, and everybody knows that people gain weight in winter. As a rule it is not sound weight, but means a lot of flabby fat. and useless, rotting matter staying in the body when it ought to have been driven out. But the liver was ovei^ burdened, deadened—stopped work. There you are, with a dead Iivct. and spring is the time for resurrection. Wake up,the dead! — Get all the filth out of your system, and get ready for the summer's trials with clean, clear blood, body, brain free frcm bile. Force is dangerous and destructive tuiless used in a gentle perstiasive way, and the right plan is to give new strengA to the muscular walls ra the bowels, and stir up the liver to new life and work with CASCARETS, the great ajring cleaner, disinfectant and bowel tonic.

It will be of interest to the Eeud- ers of the Record who use McEIrees Wine of Cardui in their homes to know that the sale o'" this remedy has so increased. during the past year, that the manufactures have again had to increase their capacity by the addition of a large build­ ing. It has often been said that an article that finds favor with the ladies is sure to achieve great suc­ cess. No more stricking example of this could be found than the history of W ine of Cardui.

While they appointed one Bepnblican for each voting place, the Sepublican party through its executive committee only got one man asked for. It shows the little pariizanship of the board, in thnsignoringa courteous, yet reasonable request. The fol­ lowing are the names of the judges appointed, Calahaln, J. S. Bat- ledge & J. D. Walker; Claiksville, X. H, Peoples & A. H McMahan; Fork Chnrch, George McDaniel & Julios Hobbs; Farmington. H. L. Gook & Thos. M. Dixon, Jerusal­ em, J. If. Charles & W. S. Beck; Mock-sville, Geo. W.

The poor white men of this country can entrust theii liberties with such men if they wish, bnt fooner or later they will regret it.

The Charlotte Observer, the leading Democratic paper, in its issaeof Jane 6th, 1900, editorially says; “The struggle of the white peo* pie of North Carolina to rid them­ selves of the danger ot the rale of negroes and the lower classes of whites is beins watched with in­ terest outsideof the state.” Does this mean that “no white man should ^le deprived of his vote!” This editorial can only mean that the poor illiterate labor ing white m»n must be disfran­ chise 1. Not nntil snffrage.is lirai. ted ezclnsively to the wealthy and aristocratic classes will the advoca­ tes of the eufirage amendment think “white sugrema<?y is made permatent,'' Honest bnt poor biboring man reflect before you cast yonr ballot to deprive yon and yonr posterity oftheriohest heriti«»—aie ballot who m ight y®“ ^ ThM» tect righto ag^Mt tjMOver- teaohing and gra^liut poww at tlMw wiM> tWak tbcif bom tiu tt candidate for The Oharl>tte News of Friday, June 29, reports that on that day Charles Crowder, a white man from Moortsville whs chained to a ne­gro and driven by a negro over- Keei>V‘‘-V, o'ii the streets of Char< lotte. The News says: “A white prisoner chained to a negro. “It was this sight that made the blood of ChaiOotte white men boil this morning. “On East^ Trade street a n ^ “trusty” was driving a chain gang wagon and in this wagon in his charge were two prisoners, a white man and a negro, chained togeth ­ er. “Probably fifty people saw them as tne wagon moved down Trade street. W'hite men were ii>diguant at the sight and asked hotly who was rraponsible for the outrage. Mr. John P. Morris saw it and re» soh'ed at once to get the white man’s release. He asked the pris­ oner what he was s»nt to the chain gang for, and when told the amount of the fine proceeded to raise it in short order. ■‘The Whiteman said his name wa.s Charles Chrowder, and he was from Mooresville. “I was arrested lor a plain drunk.” he said.' “I (lid-nt liarm anybody but myself, 1 might have somehow raised- the amount of the present fine $2,50, but the police added to the bill the balance dne on an old fine for drunkenness that lowed last Feb­ ruary, and made the amount ^5,10, so lhadtoser/ethetime on the road. • “Robert Phifer a negro, was in charge of the two priaoneis. He is what is kn>wn as a “trnsty.” i. e. a convict who by good conduct has won the confidence of the boss of the camp, and who is allowed a lai^e measure of liberty. He said he was sent in by Mr. Standi for the convicts, he found a white man and a negro to carrj' out, and chained them together as a mailer of coui-se. Deputy Sher iff Johnson refuseu to handcuft them together he said, and so be (the trusty) chained them him­ self.” This is a sample of Democratic “white supremacy.” Charlotte is a Democratic city under the con­ trol of Democratic officials.. Dem­ ocrats alone are responsible for this outrage,—Times-Mercury. DEMOCRATIC NEGB0I3M. The Democrats of Watauga countj'jic thtyear of grace 1900 elected a negro as delegate to the convention^which nominated Chas, B. Aycock. - How is that for high, eh! The Democratic legislature of 1872 and 3 elected Guilford Christi mas, a n^ro from tV^arren county assistant door keeper of the Senate over a Mr. OjhiUree a white min of Alamance county. “Physician heal thyself,” The Democratic legislature of 1876 and 7 elected over one hun­ dred negro magistrates at one lick, see Journal of boose of that date and read protest signed by nine members against the action tlie leg­ islature in elosting negroes.

He used an illns- tration a yonng man, who, he said, had an all-uonnd education and yet could not vote, while he (Sheets) could. Such stuff as this should not- be noticed but it is said that he Ls using It with peo­ ple .hat causes a donbt and we publish^ it to see if he is correctly quoted aud if not to correct it. If it is true the people of the connty are entitled to know w h^ he gets his information. If he has said it and will prove his assertion > e will join him io voting against the aniondment,/—Davie Times. The above clipped from the Tim M of June 38tn gets the editor of the Times in a hole very similar to the hole Mr. Crisp of Caldwell ^ t in some weeks ago, Charlie Sheets will have no trouble in proving the assertion aud when he does the ed' itor of the Times we suppose "will march up to the polls on the 2nd day of August and vote against this unjust amendment. Now lets see if Charlie Sheets can prove his assertion first lets take that clause of the amended constitutional a- mendment which covers the point. See, 4, “Every person prcsent- ina himself for registration shall be able to read and write any see- tiou of the constitution in the Eu. glish language.” Is not that plain shall re^d and write! Is the eon, stitution all written in the -English lang jage! Turn to article 1, sec, tion 21. “The privileges of the writ, of “HABEAS CORPUS.” shall not be suspended.” The above section is taken from the Constitution of North Catolina. Mr voter can yon read and write “HABE03 COHPUS” in the English language! If yon cannot how can you comply with the constitutional requirments should this amend­ ment be adopted! Turn to the constitution article 3. sec. 32, ar­ ticle 3, sec. 14, article 7, sections 2, 6 & 9. Now voter go re;id these sections and see if you don’t find ’.atin in every one of them, then sit down and try to write them and read them in the English language. We dare say not one in 60 can do it. The editor of the Times can­ not do it without a lexicon, or un­ less some one who does know tells him. The Republican candidate will have no trouble in provicg his assertion, bnt will the editor of the Davie Times stand up to bis prom­ ise! Voter, don’t you begin to see the plots and schemes that have been laid to catch the unwary! Your rights and liberties are at stake, are you going to the polls and aid these schemers in their diabolical plot against the poor men of this state! Are yon! CUB THANKS. hit dog always^ howlk; We try to avoid personalities as far as possi­ ble, bnt when we are assailed by our political opponenls we shal strike back regardless of the conse­ quences. Eastern methods are not going to be tolerated in this county and those who attempt them-will be sick of it before it goes yery fer. Lih^ty of spxch, liberty of the press and liberty of conscience are dear to the great common peo­ ple, and our Democratic friends will strike a snag when they at­ tempt to throttle either in this country. They can trample upon the flag, they can ignore the con­ stitution of'the United States which they have sworn to support, bnt they cannot destroy our love of freedom, our love for truth, right andjud;ice. and when they pnll down the temple of liberty their own carcasses will be fouAd nnder its rains.

C The most stupid lie of the cam­ paign is the Itopnlist lie put out by the Skis ner and Thompson gang and slyly repeated by the black radicals, the bald face lie that if the Democrats should carry the State they wonld disfranchise the negroes- If they desired it ever so much, they have no po ver to effect it. The lie is so stupid that it cuuld u it have Iteeu started and repeated but for the profo-md ig- nonincc of the ne;;nM» generally. If they knew anything, they wonld know that North Carolina has no power under heaven to abridge the political rights and to “deprive of the privilege, of voting the negroes any more than the whites, The franchise is a right secured under the Constitution ot the United States, and it takes the same pow­ er to abrogate the right as to con. fer, to repeal a law as to make it So it is all Ivosh and falsehood to try and bewilder and betool the poor, ignor.aut negroes in they way it has done. It is pitiful and mean to so work upon them by ly­ing and deception. Their right to vote is absolutely secure as the white man’s right to vote. As we stated yesterday, the three aaiendmcuts to the constitn- lioc introduced and adoptel soon after the war fixed the status of the n^roes as citizens equal with that of the w'hites in their rights. The only way to rid the country of the negro ballot is by the same means and processes that were gone throngh with to eufrancbise him in his stolid and stnpid conditioD, So it is a lie ontot the whole cloth when the dirty trixters imposed upon the ignorant, credulous neg­ roes by telling them that a Demo­ cratic victory means depriving him of the right to vote.

We hold with the United States Supreme Court that the Declaration of Independence is the spirit ot our Government, of which the Constitution is the form and letter.We hold that the Constitution fol­ lows the' flag, and assert that no nation can long endure halt r e ^ ^ ||| and half empire, and we warn the .\merican people that imjierialism abroad will lead quickly and inevitably to despot­ ism at home.The Porto Rico law enacted by Con­ gress is denounced, aud it is declared that the law impo.ses upon the people ot the Island a government without their consent aud taxation without their representation. .The demant. is made for the prompt fulfillment ot tbe pledge to the Cuban people th t the United States has i o intention to exercise sovereignty, juris­ diction or control over the island ex­ cept for Its pacification. Tbe Philippine policy of the Admin­ istration is denounced, which, it is de­ clared, involved the Republic in un­ necessary -war.

The weather during the week ending Monday, Jo?y 2nd, 1800, w»s very fa­ vorable tbronghout that portion ot North CaroUna eaat of thp Blue Ridgs tlountatns, in tact the week wae aliatfet Ideal, with temperatures above normal, and shower* at sufficient intenrals to permit the proper working ot crops, which in the east are generally clean and well cultivated. All reports from the central and eastern portion ot the State Indicate that marked Improve­ ment has taken place in the condition Of crops, which ar? growing very rap­ idly. Grass and weeds are complained of in some counties along the southern border. W est of the Blue Ridge, how­ ever, unfavorable weather prevailed the entire week. There was again an excess of prectpitatlon; many corres­ pondents reported rains every day from June 24th to June 30th. In con­ sequence fields in the extreme west have become very foul, and crops are Bufterlng for lack of proper cultivation. Low lands in many instances 'have been under water so long that crops, chiefly com, have been drowned out. The excessive moisture also continued to damage wheat in shock. The very favorable condition ot crops reported below applies therefore, chiefly to the middle and eastern por­ tion ot the State, although it is proba­ ble that a week or so of fair weather permitting cultivation would restore crops to normal condition in the west. Corn, cotton, tobacco, ptanuis and field peas all made excellent growth during the week. Much corn has been laid by in splendid condition. <^ttou is growing, has a good color, and blooms are reported in many counties. It is still lousy and grassy In southern and southwestern counties. Tobacco is thrifty In the east, aud has made a good start in the central-northwest section; tobacco growers in the south­ ern portion commenced priming ths last of June. Threshing wheat Is pro­ gressing actively, with results not less favorable than anticipated; In fact, notwithstanding much damage b / sprouting in shook, which occurred chiefly In the west, the yield of wheat will be exceptionally heavy. Oats are .turning out somewhat better than ex­ pected. Rice is doing very well. Pea­ nuts are growing rapidly, and are com­ ing into bloom. Melons are ripening, and some cantaloupes and watermelons are in market. Peaches are reported to be rotting badly; the prospect for grapes is still fine. ■ « t r y THE "H EW HOME” SEImV food for p iT E F O R M U U lS f- u THE HEW HOME SEK Iiii^ BtliUon Square, s. r.

The Federal convicts -now in the pen­ itentiary at Raleigh will be sent to Nashville, Tenn., and the 70 of them will have 12 guards. Their departure must surely be a relief to the peniten­ tiary people, for the convicts were a great deal more trouble than they were worth. The government paid 25 cents a day for their “keep.” It is a wonder that as scon as there began to jlie trouble about them the penitentiary people did not tell the Department ot Justice to take them away and be done with i t These convicts thought thay were "wards of the nation,” and would insult the State convicts. They were employed in the sihirt factory and the brick yards. This was the reason why the penitentiary people held on to them —as it enabled more State convicts to be put on the roads and the farms. A lot ot the very worst ot the Federal convicts escaped daring the two years since the penitentiary waa designated as a Federal prison. W ithin the next six months the terms ot 40 of the con victs expire. During the past year no Federal prisoners save those from this State, have been sent to the peniten­ tiary. For about a year they were sent there from ten States. Tbe receipts cf the Haleigh postofflce during June were $4,000. For the same month last year they were only $2,770.

W hen possible, rnn the rows ot to­ matoes east and wes^. This will ex­ pose every plant to the sun. The to­ mato requires all the sun it can gel. Tall growing plants, like corn or pole beans, should never bo planted on tho south or east of the tomato patch. If for a field crop, mark off the laud four by four or five by five feet with a common field marker, and with a small plow open a furrow about four by five inches deep. If the laud is very mei- lo'w, as it should be, I prefer opening the hills with a hoe. This leaves the land smooth and in better condition for the weeder, whieh should bo used as soon as the plants are set. I find it pays well to take considerable pains to make the rows straight, and of equal distances apart. In a large field it is also well to skip say one row in ten, which will allow of-, driving through the field' with the team iu gathering the crop. W ater the plants the night before, or at least an hour or more before tak­ ing them up. As early in the summer as possible, dig them, using a strong garden hand fork. I very much pre­ fer the fork to a trowel, as it does not destroy any ot the roots. Leave as much of the soil on the roots as passible, and place the plants in a shallow box. I nso as lai'ge a box as I can get on a wheelbarrow, and about six inches high. “ These are easily wheeled about the field, a boy taking out and distributing plants aud a mac on each side ot the wheelbarrow to follow and set. Be careful to firm the earth well about the plants, putting fresh dirt next the roots and finishing off by brushing a light covering of dry dirt on top as a mulch, I consider this latter very important. If the fifeld is far from the hotbeds, the plants can be taken up in the boxes and then taken to the field on a drag, or a low- down wagon, which, by the way, is a very handy arrangement form any pur- poses. It has been my experience that it is best to set the plants a little deeper than they stood in the hotbeds, unless the plants are “long-legged,” in which case I wonld not put the roots any deeper than the others, but would lean the plant over so as to cover a part of tlie stalk with dirt. I have found that “ drawn" plants will do very well when treated in this manner. The roots start out all along the stalk, and it these long plants have been well hardened off they will be found nearly as satisfactory as the more stocky ones.—A. A. Halliday, in New Eng. land Homestead, A Farmer*. Experimental Plot. Every farm, to a great extent, is au institution by itself. The successful farmer m ust not only thoroughly un­ derstand his« business, but m ust be constantly studying aud learning from experience of himself and from scien­ tific experiments and researches made by specialists. He m ust keep up with the times. Every season he must be a better fiurmer than the previous one. He m ust be able to say he has learned something that will make his business more profitable, either byjlessening the cost of production or the improve­ ment of the quality of the broduce of his farm. For this reason l e should be able to know what his farm is best adapted to raising. It wonld pay any farmer to have an experiment acre on his farm. This should be of soil that m ostnearly rep­ resents his farm, and not sdccted be­ cause of its depth or richness. As all plots about a well-kept farm, it should have a neat fence that will turn all stray cattle, pigs e r chickens that might chance to get. beyond their own forage fields: The ground should be oarefully layed off in plots, with walks and paths between the sections. It should be mapped and- planned each season before planting tim e/and then layed out in strict accord to the plans made. A record book should be kept, each section, bed or row numbered and everything concerning it during the season should be jotted down for future reference. , One season’s study of a plant will usually show whether it wonld pay to raise it extensively or whether it would not pay at all. -There are also new metheds of tend­ ing the plaqts already familiar with, .which can be tested in the experi­ mental plot before old and tried methods are abandoned. The studying of books and journals devoted to the farming interest will suggest items which the farmer may desire to test before introducing on his farm. He can jot it down on a page of his record book devoted to new ex­ periments and make his plans accord­ ingly to accommodate it the following year. Of course, he will not be able to try everything he might desire to, hnt he can pick out the most impor­ tant from the list each year. Nor need the plot be au expense without a return. A well-conducted jlot will be self-sustaining. The Kitchen table, the poultry yard, sete and tnbers u d seeds for the next sea­ son, all can cqme in on the profit side ot the balance sheet, at the end of the year. The experiment acre will of the greatest benefit not only to the farmer himself, but to all his neighbors as well. By keeping in touch irith the State and Governmental lerimental stations and running a miniature station of his own, the far­ mer will not only save himself many ixpensive -m istakes but will learn many things that will mean a goodly ------ .ii> hiSiliH^ly IncoiM and addiJrw io, b? ONE STATES PROGRESS. se n a t o r SCOTT TELLS HOW PROS­ PERITY CAME TO WEST VIRGINIA. Keiearkable Orowtb of Baalneas Undai tbe HeKinley Administration — Coal, on and Lnmber Indnstrles Are Aclivc — There is More Aloncy in tbe Banks. “West '^'Irglnia came Into the Repub-1 llcan columii in 1892, when It gave' Piesiflent Harrison a plurality of; 4471 votes.” said United States Sen­ ator Nathan B. Scott, a member of the Executive Committee of the Bc- publican National Committee. “We followed this up with a plurality of 11,487 for rresident McKinley in 1896. This year we expect that West Virginia will give President McKinley a plurality of 20,000 votes. “Our State is growing steadily ev­ ery year as a manufacturing State. Our big industries are those of iron and steel, tin plate and lumber. We make considerable pottery and glass­ ware. have many textile mills, and manufacture to a certain extent many of til 3 goods that enter into daily consumption. That these industries have improved under the administra­ tion ot President McKinley goes with­ out saying and the people know the reason why. “Coal is probably the largest product of West Virginia. In 1893 we mined 11.400.000 tons; last year our output was 18,750,000 tons. The increased demand was caused by the better times. It gave employment to nearly 11.000 more men. Not only that, min­ ers w'orked in 1895 only 195 days. Last year they were busy nearly ev­ ery working day. With a large output from our coal mines, with activity in our lumber mills, the demand for the products of our farms and of our fac­ tories has increased considerably. “West Virginia farmers grow dl versified crops. Our oil belt is an­ other source of profit to the State. Five years ago we only produced eight million gallons of ml; last year upwards of twelve million gallons. We are pumriug oil in enormous quau; titles and there is no sign of the sup­ ply decreasing. Wool is one farm product from which our people have learned something. In 1S9C all the sheep in W est Virginia were worth less than ^900,000. Since then their value has increased 50 per cent., while the w c't Is selling nt 100 per cent, more' than it brought while Prof. Wil­ son’s theoretical free tariff trade was experimenting with the country at the expense of nearly every Industry, whether of farm or field, in the IJnlted States. “You must remember that W est Vir­ ginia has’a population of about 1,000,- 000 people, and we do not claim to do big thiiigs. Still our farmers can look with satisfaction at the value of their live stocK, which has increased by nearly $5,(K)0,00G since 1896; also at the amount of money on deposit In the banks of our State, which has in­ creased from §5.000,000 on July 18, 1894, to 510,000,000 on June 30, 1899. The increase in the number of depos­ itors has been equally gratifying, from 16,288 in 1804 up to 31,000 last year. W ith these facts of gain in the ■wealth of otir State there has been a corresponding decrease in the numbei of business failures. The liabilities of those who were in trouble inJL89t were nearly $700,000. Last year they were only ?2.TO,000. Our people, too, nppreciate the feature of the gold standard lawi which simplifies theii currency. They realize the difference between the administration of the na­ tional finances under President MC’ Kinley when they compare them with the mismanagement under President Cleveland. Then we w ere. borrowing money from Hui'opc at whatever rate ot interest the foreigners chose to make us pay. while during the last year we h.ivc'been loaning inoney to Europe, and still have more that we can spare to | send there should it be needed. “The State ot W est Virginia Is In a small way but the reflection of the conditions in , ail of the other . States of the Union.. If the people-,every­ where would but vote accordhig to their Bonnd thought and .better Judg­ ment, then President McKinley would be re-elected by acclamation in the electoral college, just as he was renom­ inated byracclamation in Philadelphia;” IjOtM of Help Wanted. ' The Omaha Worjd-Herald was Mr. Bryan’s personal Organ in 1890, and during that campaign it made the prophecy daily that In the event of McKinley’s election the depression and distress among the -working classes would be widespread. The Iwst proof of the falsity of this prophecy is found on the want pages of thfe. World-Her- ald. The last issuc^vat hand contains the advertisements o£ two females and seven males . wlio Tvant sjtuatlpns, while 'On the' same" pa-ge the “help wanted” advertisements ask for 107 females and 115 males. This is in a,d- dition to the “agents wanted.’’ and does not include the advertisement for 1000 men for railroad work..

O n r D e p en d en c e o n F o re ls n S bips to C arry O u r C om m erce. The present disturbed condition of Europe, with reference to far eastern compUcationB, as well as those arising in Morocco and elsewhere, has caUed attentiontoAmerican dependence upon ■foreign shipping for the carriage of their foreign commerce. .If the na­ tions of Europe should become involved in a great war, which many believe to be immrnent, there would be a wholesale withdrawal ot foreign ships from the channels of trade to provide transport for troops and munitions ot war. As nine-tenths of our foreign copi- merce is carried in foreign bottoms, it is obvious that the withdrawal of a largo portion of that shipping for other than, commercial uses would deprive our people ot theh- only means tor sup­ plying our constantly growing foreign markets. Freight rates would rise to a prohibitive amount in respect of many of our commodities. Our surplus pro­ ductions would accumulate npon our hands in enormous quantities, prices would fall, wages would be reduced and. industrial stagnation aud loss of employment would be widespread. The conditions existing between 1893 and 1896 would be re-established in even a more intensified form. This country Is the leading export nation of the world, and the future growth of that trade seems illimitable, provided, always, that we have an abundance ot ships in which to send our products abroad. But a check at this time, when the broad foundation for an enormous export trade is being laid, would have a most serious and far-reaching effect upon our people and our resources. The stability of our forelgu trade can never be assured so long as 90 per cent ot it is carried in foreign ships. We send three-quarters of all ot our exports to Europo, and American sbips carry the ridiculous proportion ot but 1.30 per cent! Foreign ships carry a billion dollars’ worth of our products to. Europe, and our owu ships carry less than thirty million dollars’ worth. No greater danger confronts the United States to-day than that caused by our dependence upon foreign ships for the carriage of nearly all of our exports. Ot our exports to all the world less than 7 per cent, are carried in American ships. Apart from tho commercial calamities possible, aud, as some people believe, probable, through the withdrawal of the larger part of the vast foreign shipping upon which we are now dependent, for tho auxiliary naval and military uses ot the great powers, our great weakness upon the sea emphasizes our ouly real national danger. Congress cannot remedy this condi­ tion too soon. Proper provision must be speedily made tor the attraction ot American capital Into ship-building and ship-owning, so that at the earliest moment possible we.shall become pos­ sessed of the ships we may require for all ot the necessities ot our foreign commerce.

At its present rate of .growth less than a score ot years will ■find it valued at three billions and r.-- Iqulrlng double the shipping of to-day ;for its carriage. Foreigners wiU then jhave us all the more at their mercy if ■we do nothing to establish our own ! ships upon the seas. ! Foreseeing just such a possibility as .this, Thomas Jeff-rson, as long ago as ;i793. in a great state paper, predicted Ithat a nation which allows foteigners ito do the great bulk of its foreign car­ rying, “will be disarmed of its de- itense^ its productions will be at the 'mercy of the nation which has pos- ■sessed itself exclusively ot the means lot carrying them, and its politics may ;be Influenced by those who command ;lts commerce.” These -.vord^ were pro- ■phetic of a ^hdition that actually ex­ ists in respect of the United States to- flay- ^ G oods W e re N o t D eliv ered .

One of the most distlngnlBhed members was Sir Thomas PInkett, Lord Chief Justice ot the King’s BencA In Ireland. While a Btadent he was widking one day hi the Temple Oardehli' and saw a beau- tifal girl washing clothes in the River Thames and shiging a plahitive. Irish song. He recognized It as ‘T he Iji- ment of H ary Cruy" and recced the fact that the -wife and daughter of Sir Ghrlitopher Cruy, of Bathinore, had been deprived of theh: estates by rela­ tives after tbe death ot Sir Christo­ pher.

Oil FeculaUonl Ainonnt to Abont MO.OOO ••Ue Apparently Attemptt Sui­ cide Wlien Arrested* Newark, K. J. (Special)^—In conse­ quence of the shortage of between $38,000 and $10,000 in the funds of the Dime Savings Bank, of this city, which amount Charles B. Westervelt, the sec­ retary-and treasurer, is charged with embezzling, the institution suspended payment. Shortly before opening hours,-while the crowds surged about the doors, the managers held a meeting and decided to suspend payment of depositors, tak­ ing advantage of the days of grace al­ lowed savings baulis under the law. Policemen were summoned, and tho deiwsltors, halt a dozen at a time, were allowed to «nter and present their bool^s. Women were admitted first. The majority of those who had corte with the hope of withdrawing their money were under twenty-five years of age. Kearly irtl wore anxious faces and several were weeping. When they passed in their books business cards on which the numbers of the books were inscribed were handed back to them. They were told that they would be informed within a week that they could come and get the books back again. lu the meantime, the bank’s book­ keepers, assisted by a special force of experts, will compare the balance in each deposit book with the balancc of the depositor as recorded in the led­ gers. Many discrepancies are expect­ ed. as W estervelt's scheme was to represent on his vouchers that the de­positors had withdrawn larger sums than they actually took out. The dif­ ference between the amounts entered on their books and the amounts ap­ pearing on his vouchers he is alleg^ to have appropriated. Xo money will be paid out until those who are examining the books can learn the bank’s exaet lisbllities. Pres­ ident James D. Orton says the securi­ ties are intact. The other officials of the bank and the examiners corrobor­ ate him. According to the last annual statement the assets of the institution are $1.119,240.2Z There is due depos­ itors $1,010,502.35, leaving a surplus oC fl08,047.87. Westervelt is fift.v-two years old and has been connected with the bank since 1871, working himself up from a cleikship. He confessed his guilt to John H. Meeker, courisel for the bank, and a director. ■\Vcsterveit was placed in Jail and held in $10,000 bail. It is alleged that when. Ju.st after his arrest at the house of John Leyser. in Lyons Farms, he went up stairs to prepare for his trip to the office of Justice Hayward, in East Orange, he attempted suicide by drinking poison, but took an overdose and threw it off. His mental anguish has almost prostrated him. The shock 3f his arrest has proved very severe to his family. TRAIN ROBBERS’ EXPLOITS. a Po>Ane Arrested anti Auollier Shoots liceinan in St. I<oali.

ME SOUTH WANTS SHIPS BUSINESS MEN FAVOR MATIONAU P r AID TO MERCHANT MARINE. T h e Slnatlon VIeweil T b ra n e b Sootheia K je a _ Ante and Po.t-BelIain SeoU- # m ent in Favor of the Beltoratlon «« ^ O u r Slilpa to (be Seal. . I' The rapid growth of manufacturing In the South and Its beneficial effect I Upon other Industries are arousing in the minds of the people new thoughts knd hopes for the future ot their great tectloD of the Union. One of the most tellable authorities on Southern prog-; ress and development is It. H. Ed­ monds, the well-known Baltimore pub-: Usher, who keeps in constant personal touch with the up-to-d.ate sentiment of the leading manufacturers, bankers a n d influential men of the South. It is hia repeated declaration, and as a re-' suit of his own observations, that the; Southern business men are almost a; unit In favor of national aid in the re-; establishment of our ships upon the; seas. He finas tbe sentiment among men representatives of Southern indus-; trial a u i commercial progress quite atj variance with that disclosed by their Representatives and Senators in Con-' gress. The latter seem to represent a; theoretical cpposltlon to tbe utilization of modem methods for .the advance-' inent of industrial prosperity that has Ecpt back Southern development- for fully a generation. In tbe foreign trade of the United. States, as conducted between Southern [and foreign ports, one of the rarest sights is the American flag floating from the sterns ot the ships conduct­ ing that trade. That the demand has grown in the South for national legisla­ tion for the upbuilding ot our merchant marine seems to Mr. Edmonds to be logical. He sees in the realization of the growing hopes of bis people in this respect much of permanent benefit to the section he represents. He has made no especial study of ante-bellum senti­ ment on the subject of American mari­ time development, and was surprised to find that, as far back as sixty years ago, the sentiment in favor of safe- iguarding and promoting our merchant marine commanded the thoughtful at­ tention of the most advanced of South­ ern statesmen and business men. In an address before the Cotton Spin­ ners’ Association at Charlotte. N. C., recently, JJr. Edmonds stated that in 1845 John G. Calhoun presided at a convention in Memphis, at which tbe subject was discusscd. In 1851 a re- !port was made at a Virginia conven- 'tion In favor of facilitating the mails through the establishment of steamship lines running between Hampton Roads 'and European ports. Another conven­ tion in Memphis, held In 1853, favored Government encoiu'agement and pro­ tection in the establishment of steam­ ship lines between Southern and Euro­ pean ports. The Charleston conven­ tion of 1S54 urged Congress to encour­ age the establishment of mail steam­ ships, even to the extent ot gi-anting State bounties in the form of rebates to shippers employing. American ves­ sels. In 183G Louisiaua's Legislature passed an act paying $5 per ton bounty on all ships exceeding 100 tons burden built in tho State. A report made to ,the Legislature of Alabama as far back ^as 1838. showed th.it her citizens con­ tributed $1,800,000 a year to get their cotton t3 Europe, aud contained the |query, “If this amount must be paid, why should it not be paid to our own; citizens ;’’ No wonder a score of years later Alabama’s Legislature passed an act grantiug a bounty of $4 per ton on all steamers built within that State. ! At Charleston, in 1839, Robert Y. Haynp discussed the subject before a commercial convention held in that jCity, in which be said .that Southern aud Southwestern. States were produc­ ing nearly three-quarters of the do­ mestic exports ot the U n>i, although importiug not to exceed one-tenth ot the foreign merchandise entering the iUnited States, and that foreign com- imerce was “causing cities of other iStates to flourish while Southern cities Iwere falling into decay.” LleuL M. P. Maui-y.famous for his invaluable aids to mariners upon the oceans, .was im­ pressed with the immense benefits Southern States would derive from the establishment of steamship lines be­ tween Southern and European ports. For many years he urged the Invest­ ment ot Southern capital In such lines, showing tho gi'eat and growing power her rich foreign commerce was giving to New York and deploring the fact that the South was missing its oppor­ tunities to share therein. He saw for Norfolk, Virginia, possibilities of de­ velopment which have never been re­ alized, but which it seems possible are likely ot fulfillment through the grow­ ing scarcity of European coal and the Inevitable dependence of tbe world in the future for the greater part of its coal supplies upon the United States American re- publte Maury saw advantages even greater than those possible through our commercial intercourse.Aflth E ^ w and he was never do/e urging upon the people of the Syafe the wisdom ot ftlmp rt * American mar-e lo p '^ t through the estab- ilshment ot st^m shlp lines to the West Indies, Centraf and South America.

Edmonds in his speech, made it very clear that the revival of our for- elgn-gotag shipping is not a sectional but is a purely industrial, commercial add auifliart navy question. He said: “O rlgiaatta? W » ,000,000 worth of foreicn exoorf. S mewJiKit m uine because of the magnitude of its present export trade.” This trade he expected would rapidly multiply. predicted a cotton crop In distant future of 100,- 000,000 bales. It Is not surprising to find that both of tbe great ^U tlcal armies are now Tying-witli each other In their espousal of an American Merchant Mtrine. That the representative men in both carties have formally and finally re- lected the suggestion of “free ships”— ^hicb means the purchase of British Instead of American built ships for our maritime needs—may be taken as an Indication ot both the conservatism and progresslTcness which augurs well for early effective and permanent leg­ islation in behalf of our too long neg­ lected shipping upon the seas. It Is this unanbnlty ot sentiment that Is converging upon a demand for such legislation that will have become so insistent and imperative as to compel such legislation at the next session of Congress; ____________ M’KINLEY in NEW YORK. & Brooklyn Sdltor B x p e c U H im to Carry State by 390>000 Plarallty. To start with I think the re-eiecllon of McKinley is as certain as any event can be that !s yet in the future. Of coarse, the wish is father to the thought, a condition present, I take It, in the riind ot every earnest Re­ publican. Tbe vei7 fixedness of that belief is, 1 am aware, a handicap. If I may put it so, to the purpose I have In mind, of stating the facts about tbe Presidential situation in this city and State with judicial Impartiality. ; I have besides my newspaper con­ nections and as an employer of many men who work for a living in various Walks ot life from factory to office, some other means of getting at the sentiment of my fellow voters. I have been President of the Union League Club, and of the Oxford Club, one a Republican social and the other a purely social organization, both thor­ oughly representative of Brooklyn clt- izeusbip in its best estate. I am a mem­ ber of many other clubs. Including tbe Brooklyn Club, which, while not pro­ fessedly Democratic, Is a home for most of the so-callcd silk-stocking ele­ ment of that party. If I say that among all the men with whom I come in contact either In a business or so­ cial way the teellng in favor of Mc­ Kinley is stronger now than It was jfour years ago, I but report the exact truth iis It appears to me. This county of Kings forms the borough of Brook­ lyn of tlie city of New York, and con­ tains about a million and a quarter of population. It is normally Demo­ cratic by about 15.000 majority. Mc- Khiley carried It In 1806 by 32,253 plu­ rality and tbe State of New York by 208,325 plurallt3-. The gold Democrat­ ic vote in Kings County was 3709. If a conservative man like ex-Supreme County Jr3tice Van Wyck. of this county. Is nominated for Vlce-Presi- dent at Kansas City and the Chicago platform modified so as to assure the dropping ot the 16 to 1 issue, it may, make a difference of 10,000 votec in this county In favor ot the Democrat­ ic Presidential ticket, but not more. :In the event ot an out-and-out Bryan- ;ite being named for Vice-President on a re-afflrmed Chicago platform.

Cnban Puatal Affairs. , Recent developments in the Cuban postoffice troubles show that the re­ trenchments made by Fourth Assist­ ant Postmaster-General Bristow were imperatively demanded by Postmas- ter-General Smith some months ago, when he ordered that a system of re­ form should be immediately com­ menced in order that tbe expenses inight then be reduced. President Mc­ Kinley had ordered both the Director- General ot Posts and the Governor- General of Cuba to obtain the approval of the Postmaster-General upon all Requisitions which showed a deficiency; h postal management there. While reports have been made monthly to the Governor-General, not a single re­ port ever reached Postmaster-General Smith, 60 in January last he began to investigate m atters on his own ac­ count, flnding that the expenditures were far in excess of the receipts. He then ordered retrenchment, but was not obeyed. Croksr and Wealth. Mr. Croker grows quite effusive In ais discussion of tbe aggi-ession of wealth.

The three defects of e y e s ig h t Which are most commonly e n c o u n te r e d In otherwise healthy persons, and which can be more or less p e r fe c tly over­ come by means of glasses, are near- Blghtedness, far-sightedness and Ustig- matlsm. These are all im p o r ta n t, for besides the discomfort a n d a n n o y a n c e of imperfect sight, the In v o lu n ta r y ef­ forts which the snfiferer m a lte s to sec better strain the e y e s , a n d not only Injure them, but also give rise, through reflex action, to headaches and vari­ ous nervous disturbances. Near-sightedness, short-sightedness, or myopia as it is variously called, is a condition of the eyeball—usually a lengthening—in consequencc of which the rays of light are brought to a focus in front of the retina, and so the object Is blurred. This condition may exist from birth, but is usually the result of too much and too early use of the eyes, as In the case of students, engravers, wo­ men who do fine sewing, and so forth. Thus we may say that putting children to work at some of the Itindergarten exercises, such as perforating and drawing, is In a double sense a short­ sighted procedure. Slauy near-sighted people refuse to wear glasses, preferring to deprive themselves of sight for everything be­ yond the nose rather than to injure their personal appearance, as they think. This Is another short-sighted policy, for besides losing much of the joy of existence, which comes from seeing the beautiful things about and above us, such persons are very lialiie to suffer from inflammation of the eyes, produced by constant strain. A less common defect Is long or far­ sightedness, or hypermetropia. This Is the opposite of myopia, the eyeball being flattened or shortened, and the rays of light consequently not com:ng to a focus by the time they reach the retina. In this case, the eye often corrects the defect more or less successfully by making the crystalline iens more convex; but It does this at the expense of the sufferer’s nervous force, and so we often find tired and congested eyes, headaches, indigestion, and even seri­ ous nervous affections. The effort to correct the vision is entirely involun­ tary, and can be overcome only by the fittting of suitable convex glasses. The third and most common defect is astigmatism. In this condition there is some irregularity of the surface of the eye or of the lens, by means of which the image as it reaches the re­ tina is distorted. Untreated astigma­ tism is a frequent cause of headache ond other nervous disturbances. The only relief is the wearing of glasses, at least while reading, writing, or whenever near objects are looked at,— Youth's Companion. 0 ;cu Ulink there is mueh di£fer- e genuiiis and insanity?"

Maccabe, the ventriloquist, was a great practical joker. Several years ago he was on board a river steamboat, and, having made friends with the en­ gineer, was allowed the freedom of the englite room. He took a seat in the corner, and, pulling his hat down over his eyes, appeared lost in reverie. Presently a certain part of the ma­ chinery began to creak. The engineer oiled it and went about his duties. In the course of a few minutes the creak- ing was heard again, and the cnjl- neer rushed over, oil can in hand, to lubricate the same crank. Again he resumed his post, but it was only a few minutes before the same old crauJt was creaking louder than ever. "Great Jupiterr’ he yelled, “The thing's bewitched!" More oil was administered, but the engineer began to smell a ra t Pretty goon the crank squeaked again, when, slipping up b*ind Maccabe, he squirt­ ed half a pint of oil down the joker’s back.

Cleveland, and the Democratic prospective Presi­ dent. Mr. Bryan, declared could never be made in the United States. “Under the McKinley tariff of 2.2 fccnts per pound, our tin plate industry thrived. It was per .itted to exist nn- jJer the 'Wilson bill, with a duty of 1.2 cents per pound, but It would not have lived under the 'Wilson bill had not manufacturers been enabled to run their plates at a lower cost, partly due to the cheapness of wages, and partly due to the cheapness of raw material, both conditions ot cheapness being pro­ ducts of the Democratic free-trade tariff. I 'Stimulated again by the Dingley protective tariff, the tin plate indus- now gives employment to thou- ^ n d s of workers at vrages much high- ier even than those paid under the McKinley *ariff of 1890. Consumers, moreover, are buying their tin plate a t much lower prices than before the enactment of the McKinley law. “Immediately preceding the estab­ lishment of this industry in 1891, we paid to the Welsh manuf.icturers al­ most ?2C,000,000 for their tin plate. Our average imports had been at the rate of ?20,000,000 a year. Last year we Imported less than ¥4,000,000 worth, so that there has been saved to this country upward of $100,000,000 a t least through the establishment of the tin plate Industry. ; “Objection is made b / our Democrat­ ic friends to the tin plate industry be­ cause there has been r. t advance in its price in the last two years. But this advance has been less than the aver­ age advance of Iron and steel articles, and It is fuHy In harmony with ad­ vances In the cost of raw materials, and with the advance in the price of tin plate in Wales. ; "Another objection made by the Democrats to the tin plate industry is that it Is now controlled by a trust, but they never made anjr objection to the control ot our market by the British Tin Plate Trust before the es­ tablishment ot our own industry. “The tin plate trade in Wales is reg­ ulated by the manufacturers, and every pound of their product is sold through one selling agent, no matter to w hat part of the world it may be shipped. There was no getting away from the prices that the Tin Plate Trust wanted to charge. They ex­ torted from us whatever products they saw fit; and the Democratic party fought tooth and nail when the Re­ publicans attempted to divert ■ the profits of this business into our own channels. “Admitting that there is a Tin Plate Trust, is it still not better that cur requirements should be filled by a trust In this country, rather than by a trust In Wales? The American trust Is subject to American laws. It pays American taxes. The British trust is not subject to our laws, and contrib­ utes not one cent to our system of taxation or revenue. “Another reason why. It seems to me, an American Tin Plate Trust is |better than a Welsh Tin Plate Trust Is Iwcause the American institution has built factories here, has created a demand for building material and building machinery. The Welsh Tin Plate Trust buys Its building material and machinery in England. Still an­ other, and the most important reason why the American Tin Plate Trust is more i dvantageous to us than the Welsh Tin Plate Trust Is because the American concern employs thousands and thousands of men here, paying them among the highest rates of wages that are received by any wage earners in this country. The Welsh Tin Plate Trust, on the other hand, employs English labor, paying low wages, which are spent in Wales, whereas the earnings of our workmen are spent right here at home, creating a demand for the products of our farms and other factories. “Natm-ally the Democrats do not like anything that even suggests prosperity ,for their countrj-. Mr. Bryan, their leader, Is tor free trade, and should he be nominated for and elected to the office of President this year, then the American tin plate manufacturers, and the workers In those mills, can rest assured that every effort will be ■made by the Democratic party to .strike a blow at the American tin iplate industry, which will divert an annual business of at least $25,000,000 Into the pockets of their friends, the lEnglish manufacturers and English wage-eamers.” Color is one ot the various matters which must be studied by manufact­ urers who would cater.to the foreign itradc. gome recent exiJeriences are of interest. An American firm sent some electrical goods, which were decorated green, to Japan. They did not sell any. No Japanese would bring such things into his house; it would mean an in­ vitation to the evil deities. Green is an evil color In Japan. W hat a Japan­ ese v\’ants In the articles he buys is Ted. A German employer objected to American machines because, although they performed their work perfectly, they demoralized his men. They were painted in dark colors, and with no bright parts. The men who work ground the machines do not have any brass to keep clean or any surfaces to rub, and they get lazy.

The time is past when a mere track through the woods satisfies the farm­ er, and good roads is the demand of the period. The good road convention lately held at Omaha was indicative or the increased interest in this ques­ tion, and the number attending from distant States was proof of the imiwr- tauce of securing better roads. TUo great question was how to build good roads and havo them permanent. Mauy of the Eastern men argued for macadam or broken stone for a cover­ ing for the highways, but some of the esit u meu thought that very little of th ; Western limestone could resist the severe frost of winter. lu some States the prisoners anil convicts W'ere put to wor.: to prepare the broken stone for roads; no stoci applied that would not pass through a ring of a given, size. This secured a good uniform roud bed. Some of the principal roads in the republic were built in this way, and the great na­ tional road connccting Washington, p. G., with St. Louis. Mo., Is a stand­ ing evidence of the importance of building first-class roads to invite the attention of settlers. The Romau3 al­ ways built first-class roads to secure their distant colonies, and the Incas of Peru built roads extending many hundreds of miles tliat exist to this day. But none of those cations had the intelligence and command of re­ sources that the citizens of this repub­ lic havo. Fanners as a class have been the ardent advocates of the railroads and contributed largely to their construc­ tion, and those rich con>orat!ons ought to extend a helping hand to Improve! the common roads. There were various schemes agitated in that convention for improving our highways. One that called for notice was a steel or iron track suitable for an ordinary wagon to run on, and an ordinary team could haul four or five tons witli ease. Tills was a flat piece of Iron or steel about six incites wide with a slight fiange on the edge, as there was a double track with just room for the team between: the cart or wagon oucc on could remain or pull off at any place, as there should be a double track for going or coming, but it struck the observer that all teams should travel at a uniform pace. It seemed that tlic general feeling among the members present was lu favor of more efficient road laws; all road tax to be paid in casli. The roadbed once properly constructed and rounded up to secure drainage, a covering of good article of gravel, if easily reached. W’as the cheai>c8t and most desirable for our common roads. Now is the time for action. You farmers who have nice carriages and spring wagons, etc.. feel bad to haul them over the mud and mire that you have to pass over to your market towns, churches or places of amuse­ ment. (Jet together and secure legis­ lation on this Imi>ortaat movement, Here Us a common Interest where no political bias can enter. 1 would suggest the agitation of the following reforms, to be secured by the farmf-rs in aid of good roads, and. demand consideration of them by your representatives: First. Thorou^rh change In our road system, and the payment of all road Avork in cash. Second. The appointment or elec­ tion of a county superintendent ol? roads. He should be a competent en-. 'gineer. whose duty should be to pass over all roads in the county and leave instructions to see that the sides of the roads were kept clear of noxious weeds, and that all taxes were paid, all bridges kept in good repair, and no person permitted to deposit a bal­ lot that had not paid his road tax. If the farmers once wake up to the 1m IMjrtance of improving our highways they can accomplish all they desire. Take some of the leading roads, keep the road grader smoothing and round­ ing up the roads and cover a certain number of miles each year with brok­ en stone or gravel, and you will soon have first-class roads to pass over.— Iowa Farmer, ________ The G ood B o ad s F ro ap e ct. The chief obstacle to the general use of the automobile in this country is the disgraceful lack of good roads, Such an event as the Paris-Bordeaux automobile race in France or the Eng­ lish excursion from London to Edin­ burgh and return would be imiwssi- ble in this country, slmi>ly because we have not got 500 continuous miles of road fit for the automobile or for any other vehicle. But the movement in favor of good roads which gained such reinforce­ ment from the bicycle is being strength­ ened by the introduction ot the auto­ mobile. A project has been started among a colony ot wealthy summer residents ot New Hampshire to im­ prove a tourists’ roadway of 500 miles from Boston to Dublin. N. H., thence up the Connecticut Valley, through the White Mountains, down to the Maine coast and back to Boston. The disastrous failure of a rcccnt attempt to travel by automobile from New York to Buffalo demonstrated the disgraceful condition of the ordinary roads in the Empire State. If the Mpw England project results in givingj^. us 500 contlnuotis miles-of so ei resuf it will be a valuable and much-needed object lesson.—New York World. FORMAURIA, CHILLS AND FEVER.

First, we desire to say that in our last article the printer made ns say the constitution of 1736, when it should have been 1S35 and the convention of 76, when it should have been the convention of ’75 These are typographical errors which our friends will. please par­ don. In 1S34 there was a call Qt a con- veution of .this state, and it was argued on the stnnip throughout the state by the classes that the sole object oi this convention was to disfranchise the free negroes. By reference to the Constitution of North Carolina prior to this time it will be seen that all lixe adult males were allowed to vote. It was claimed by the orators who were &vorable to the convention through out the state, that the object in changing the constitution was to disfranchise the free negroes anil this was the sole object. It was also argued that no white man who was eligible to yote, should, could or would be disfiau- chised. The people of the state elected the delegates to the con< vention, and this same convention, when it met in 1835, embodied in the constitution a clause which provided that no free nogro should vote. But they did uot stop here; they went a little further and said that no man should vote for a sen­ ator who did not own fifty acres of laud aud no man could be a State liSeuator frho did not own three hundred acres of laud.

We con- “ “Quotas above printed 4 nimi^fi white piJJiple iu the sbits sj far.u the senate was concerned aud the senate of the' United States. Now we see that under the constitution of 1835 the laboring man had no voice in the Senate of the United States or of the state Senate because the United States Senate, as is well kaown, is comi>osei of two representatives from each state who are elected by the legislature of the diflerent states. Under the constitution of 1835 a State Sena­ tor was electe.l uy the property holders of the statei so that the masses bad uo voice whatever in the electau of this body, towit: the United States Senate. It is true that the constitution above referr­ ed to allowed the masses to vote for the members of the lower house of the legislature, but in order that a Senator might be elected to the United States Senate he must re­ ceive a majority of both houses, a quorum beiiig present. If not el­ ected the first day he must receive a majority of both Houses ob joint ballot, a quotum being present, so that the pi operty-holders had the power to elect to the United States Senate anybody tbey saw fit, de­ priving the masses of a voioc in the highest cepreseatative body in this couuti'y. Now this cry for the ceustitntion- al amendment is the same old cry of 1835, that our object is to get clear of the negro and to eliminate him from politics; and they pledge that if tJie constitutional amend- meat is carried that no white map will bo disfranchised, this in the face of thefiict that these samb speakers, when they canvassed the state t«ro yean ago, dedued that if they w«re elected they woold spit upon ftny a w who would at­ tempt to dieAMMkaeaijy body. Is ■iiei Iu our issue of July the 11th we had an article on registration, in whijh we referred to the refusal of the registrar^of Jerusa'em township to register certain persons because they aad not listed \heir poll. Nov we wrote that article aftor having visited the township, aad had con. versation with several persons. We wrote it with no intentioa to mis­ represent any oue, ww did we in­ tend to mislead the public. We will now lay before the public the foots as related to ns, aud leave the responsibility where it belongs. On Saturday July the 7th v« weut to Cooleeuiee, and from there over to the Store house of 8. T. Poster on the Morris place, there we met and conversed with several lesi dents of the township, among them was Thomas Hill, a white man, who said that he and two other white men applied for registration and were refused because they had no'j listed their poll. We were in • formed by what we considered re­ liable authority that the registrar of Jerusalem township jrefusefl to register Joseph Foster for the same cause. We also charged the regis­ trar with violating the law, when he asked the applicant for regis tration whecher he had listed his tax, Its a fact that the legiijlature met in extra session on June 12th and on June 13th it amended this election law, and struck out this poll tax question, and consequent­ ly he had no right to ask this ques­ tion much less refuse to register the applicant. We were reliably in­ formed that this question was be­ ing asked to nearly every man who pi’esented himself for registration, aud upon this information we baS' ed our article iu the Becord, and our public utterances thereon. On the 18th day of July we took upon ourselves the ti'ouble to go to Jeru> Salem and make an investigation, and lay before the registrar some law and a decision of the supreme court on certain points. We did so, Mr. Bessont the registrar in formed us that he had been asking the question as to the listing of poll tax, for the reason that he had not a copy of the amended law, but that he had not asked the question after getting a copy of the amended law. j\tr. Besseut fnriher said that h^ had not refused to register a single man on account of failure to list his taxes. This conversation passi ed between Mr. Bessent ■ and my., self on Wednesday July the 18th and on the same day after having this conversation with Mi-. Bess- ent one Sam Smoot a white man told me im the presence of credible witnesses, that the same question as to liatiog poll tax had beeu asK- edhim on Tuesday evening, July the 17th. Mr. Bsssent did not tell us when he got tlie amended law, but somebody connected with the Democratic machine has failed do their duty in not providing the r^istrars with copies of this amended law. The registrar of Mocksville precinct showed us a copy of tliis amended election law on Friday June ihe 29th. If one was provided with the law, why uotalll What we published on July the nth iras not intended to mislead the public or do Mr. Bess­ ent an injury.

Our DemooriUic friends met iu Winston last Tuesday and had the statesman from Northampton to orate on the great injustice of of the Bepublican party resorting to the courts to protect them in their rights as citizens of North Carolina and of these United States, rights guaranteed them by both state and national constitutions. Has the time come in North Caro­ lina, th.^t its citizens are to be de­ nied access to the courts when they are denied the exercise of their constitutional privilegesT Is it not better to resort to the courts, and have these matters passed upon than to attemptit by force or fraud! We are not Democrats, we do not believe iu force and fraud, all we want is a free ballot and a fair count, and if we can get it through invoking the aid of the courts, we should not be denounced as ene­ mies to law and order by these^ , tiet npiich.b ol 10 subsmberUmen who have been defying the' audsej l us -^l.S) an I g ’l thewiU of the majority for years, men September who say that “all just government derives its power by the consent of the governed.” Yet they are to day systematically attempting to deny, and are denying to hundreds of the citizens of this state a|: voice in the election of its officers. They are very soiioitons about the con­ sent of Aguinaldo and his band of free booiers, who are daily murder­ ing our ioidiers in the Philippines sent there by our government to protect the lives anu property of the peacetii' citizens, and to restore order and establish an orderly gov­ ernment, yetourDemoc-atic friends by precept and example are encour­ aging these people iu their rasist- ance to our government, and by speech, and through the press are lending aid and comfort to the ene. mies of our great country, their leaders in North Carolina are mak~ iug threats of violence to the citi- izens of this grand old state, unless they vote the Democratic ticket. Foi-ce and fraud are to be resorted toon August 2nd to carry this el­ ection.

This eleo- ion will be h^»d before the end of Oc­ tober, and will be the next step in the tlirection of the formation of the Cu­ ban government.The convention will assemble as soon Rs possible after the election, and tlie future of the Cubans will then be in their own Jiands, as the organization of their Independent government and the date when it is to assume its do- ties and pesponslbilities will dej>end very largely on the action of this con­ vention.It is expected that the convention will frame a constitution modeled very. larsely on thet of the United States. It will provlile for elections to fill the various offices created, and as soon as these elections have been held and the new officials installed the United States will finally withdraw.

Missouri has gained $128,000,000 in wealth under this Republican adminis- trstion. The State of Kansas has gained almost ¥100,000,000 In wealth under this Republican administration. These su^stantial facts, showing that greater prosperity had visited Missouri and Kansas during the last three years, should not be forgotten by their citizens during the campaign. The Democratic party is notoriously an anti-prosperity party, and the farm­ ers and wage earners in Kansas and Missouri must not allow themselves to be led away by the f -lse promises and calamity howling of their Demo­ cratic friends.

In Missouri this year’s cotton crop was worth al­ most twice as much as it was in 180C under the Democratic administration Lastly, an c.’iamination of the num­ ber of bank depositors in Kansas and Missouri is full of facts upon which our citizens can congratulate them­ selves. The figures are taken from the last annual report of the Comptroller of the Currency: In the State of Kansas there were 53,151 people who had bank accounts in 1884; last year there were 100,840 bank accounts in that State. In 1894 the total deposits in Kansas amounted to $17,147,160; last year the total amount of the deimsitswas $33,503,101. There has been an increase of praetlcj. ally 100 per cent., both in the number of people who had money to deposit In the banks, and in the total amount of money on dejxisit in Kansas. In the State of Missouri tnere were 117,367 iiersons who had bank accounts in 1894; last year there were 215,009 bank aecouulB. In 1801 the total amount of deposits in Missouri was w.921,953. In 1890 the deposits in all banks of Missouri .ad increased to $141,720,449. While the number of depositors in Mlssom'l had Increased by 90 per cent., the total amount of money deposited had increased by 1(K> per cent. figures do not show the Increase in the business done at the stores, mines and factories, nor the larger amount of wages paid to the thousands ■ o;: people who earn their livelihood lE these two States.

A copyrighted Loncioa cablegram to the New York Tribune says If there bi any doubt in the United States re­ specting English opinion of McKiu- ley and Kepubllcan politics. It may be dispelled by the retleence of the Lon­ don and provincial press respecting the work of the Philadelphia conven­ tion. There are few comments on it, and such as there are have a perfunc­ tory sound. These are not eulogies of McKinley,, and the Kepubllcan party is not embarrassed by English patren- Bge or flattery. The party platform described as moderate and the nom­ inations as good as the circumstances permitted. The nearest approach to compliment Is the Spectator’s remark that McKinley Is possibly too much of a politician, but that he has won and receives Internationa' respect. The English press is preoccupied with affairs in Souta Africa and China, and has no space In reserve for a trivial incident in Anglo-Saxon his­ tory, such as the election of a Presi­ dent by a nation of eighty millions. Moreover there are no illusions here respecting either President McKinley or the Republican party. Both are known to be downright American, and hot in any sense English. President McKinley is not suspected of having ever made an apology for introducing the tarifl’ bill which bore his name, and the party which renom!nated him, 50 far from repudiating protectionism, has refiirmed It and added to It sub- Bldles for American shipping. Nobody in England ever speaks McKinley as anything but an uncom­ promising champion of American Ideas and policies. Hence his renomination is received here without enthusiasm and with quiet reserve, as possibly not the best choice, but one which divides the Bepublican party least Career of BooseTelt.

Tlie coal production of the United Kingdom during thirty years, during ^ of which time that country has been under a low tariff, only increased from 115,000,000 tons to 226,000,000 tons, or a little less than 100 per cent. Germany, which adopted a pro­ tective tariff atiout the middle of the period tmder consideration, has In­ creased her coal output from 36,000,000 tons to 144,000,000 tons—a growth of 300 per cent. France, also a protec­ tion country,increased her output from 44,697,680 tons In 1868 to 35,784,644 tons in 1898, an increase ot ISO per cent The United States, which has been constantly under a protective tariff law during that period (with the exception of three years), increased her output from 31,048,960 tons in 1868 to 258,539,630 tons in 1899—an increase of over 700 per cent. It must be re­ membered, in addition to this, that the United States has consumed in her factories, on her railways, and among her people practically all of this enor­ mous Increase, our exports of coal averaging less than three per cent, of onr total production, while Great Brit­ ain has been for years a large ex­ porter of coal. Our production in 1894, the year in which the free trade tariff was en­ acted, fell to 170,000,000 tons, as against 182,000,000 In the preceding year, and the value of the product fell from $208,000,000 in 1893 to ?186,000,- 000 In 1894, a loss In a single year of $22,000,000 in this one article In which labor forms so important a part of its value. In 1891, under protection and the ac­ tivity of the great Industries ot the country, the average number of days in which the men in the coal mines o£ the United State v/ere employed was 232. In 1893, the year In which a low tariff President and Congress came Into power, the number of days in which the miners were employed dropped to 201 and in 1894 dropped again to 178; while in 1897, the last year of the Wilson tariff, the number was but 179, a reduction of twenty per cent, in the time in which they Avere employed as compared with 1891. The figures for 1898 show a marked in­ crease In the number of days employed and an increase of 38,000 men, as com­ pared with 1S93; while it is apparent that the figures for 1899 will, when completed, show a much larger in­ crease, since the product in 1899 was 30,000,000 tons greater than in 1898, and 88,000,000 greater than in 1894, an increase of nearl twenty per cent, in production and twenty-five per cent, in value of the product. Pig iron production in the Unitec. States has Increased from 3,83o,191 tons in 1880 to 13,620,703 tons in 1899, which year placed the United States at the head of the iron and steel pro­ ducing nations of the world. The pig U:on production of 1892 was 9,157,000 tons. In 1893, the year of the inangu- ratlon of Democracy and free trade, it fell to 7,124,000 tons; in 1894 to 6„657,000 to ■, and in 1896 was but 8,623,000 tons. The year 1897, t which protection was again adopted, showed an Incre .se to 9,652,680 tons, and in 1899 an increase to 13,620,703 tons. Thus the fall from the last year of President Harrison to 1894, the year in which the Democratic tariff was enacted, was 2,499,622 tons, or twen­ ty-seven per cent., while the increase of 1899 over 1896, the last full year imder the Democratic tariff, was 4,997,- 576 tors, or fifty-seven per cent. The average annual price of steel rails during the period o" protection, from 1880 to 1893, fell from $67.50 in 1880, to $28.12 in 1893. In 1894, the year in which the low tariff was adopt­ ed, there was a fail of $4 per ton, but the price returned to $28 In 1896, drop­ ping to $18.75 in 1897, the year :. which the protective tariff was again adopted, $17.62 in 1898, and returned in 1899 to $28.12, the figure at which it stood in 1893 and 1890. Under this long period of protection and the development of the manufact­ uring industries which accompanied it, the imports of iron and steel fell from $71,260,699 to $12,100,400, and the manufacturers, besides supplying the enormous addition to the home market, which this reduced importa­ tion implies, also Increased their c.':- portation of iron and steel manufact­ ures from $14,716,524 in 1880 to $93,- 716,031 in 1899. In the year 1900 the total will amount to $120,000,000, or more than eight times that of 1880. Kvldentlj.

They are very aiit to be wormy, and we have never found any treat­ ment that would prevent it. Select a piece of land which is in grass and has been so for several years, and no m atter if the grass is nearly run out. Plow just before the time of sowing the seed, and sow about 400 pounds of some good fertilizer on it broadcast, then harrow it in well and sow radish or flat turnips in drills about nine inches to one foot apart, thinning to proper distance at first hoeing. They grow so quickly that it put in early in the spring they can be out of the way in time to follow’ with a later crop. Hutabaga turnips for table use should not be sown until about the first of July, as they are better if grown very quickl.v. They should be in rows two and one-half to three feet apart, and thinned to nine inches or a foot apart ta the row.—Boston Cultivator. - Sillicns—"W’omen are all curious.” Cynicus—“And yet the most curious thing in tie world is a woman who has no curiosity.” To C ure a C o ld In O n e D a y .Taiie LiiiriTE Bboho Qdibise Tabim.All (IruKpists relund the mouey It it tails to cure.

If agriculture cau be taught in the schools, then it should be tauglit, and it should be taught in the young children’s schools. In city and town schools it would be elective, but in the rurnl schools it should be compulsory. A course in the science of agriculture should be introduced into every common school. There are now subjects taught in the schools which might well be dispensed with, and courses in agriculture substituted. Only the science of agriculture should be taught, leaving the practice to home instruction. The school work sliould be very simple, very natural, and nothing but what is understood. The pupils will then be learning in the school w hat they are practicing at homo.“and their farm life will become more attractive.

CnltnrM For Battar Maklnc. The chief factor in determining the value of butter is always the flayor. This is also the most difficult thing to secure In practice. Results of In­ vestigations have shown that the fia- vor of butter whether good or bad Is mostly a result of the fermentations which have taken phice in the cream. Feed of the cows, kind of chum used or manner of churning lias little effect on the flavor. The fermentations are due to the growtli of certain bacteria. Those that cause bad results come mostly from dirt and filth. They cause a decay of the milk similar to the decay of animal or vegetable bodies, and the products produced largely give the taints to milk and tbe bad flavors to butter. The fermeatation which gives good butter flavor Is a pure souring of the cream. The buttermaker has it within his i>ower to make butter with almost the e^me flavor the year around by observing cleanliness and using good starters to ripen the (ieam. In Bome samples of butter shown, at the Iowa Stock' Breeders’ Convention, made from a combination of four kinds of bacteria used as a starter and Tepresenting the common sources of contamination by dirt, this butter was judged to be worth ten cents less per pound than another sample made from a portion of the same cream with the right kind of fermenting.—€.

There is nothing new about wormy apples except the way to' avoid having them. There are several species of grubs or worms which work ta apples, but the one which does nearly all the damage is the core worm. The core worm is the offspring of the codlin moth, and this is the Insect which a man wants to flght in his apple trees. The best general remedy for the core worm or codlin moth, according to in­ formation furnished by the Vermont experiment station, is psi’is green. Some apple growers use London pur­ ple, others use white arsenic, but they amount to the same thing. They all IK)i8on the core worms. Other insect!, cldes like hellebore, kerosene or sul­ phur are not effective in thl3 case. In the handsof the average man parls green is the best medicine for the cod­ lin moth. The poison shonld be thor­ oughly mixed with water at the rate of a quarter of a poiiud to the barrel— that is, about on : pound of parls green to 160 to 200 gallons of water. About a pound of lime ought to be added Co each barrel of water, which will pre­ vent scalding of the foliage. It should be applied with a spray pump and flue nozzle. In case bordeaux mixture is used on the tree the par's green may be added directly to that solution at the rate al­ ready recommended. The first spraying for the codlin moth should be made as soon as tbe blossoms fall, or within a week after­ ward. It is very important to do this before the little apples begin to hang dow^n -their heads, as after that time they do not catch and hold the poison. S lia d ln e F ra m e .

It has always been a source of con­ siderable trouble to protect newly transplanted vegetables from blighting effects of too much sun and wind, es­ pecially in the South, where the sun grows very hot about transplanting time. My neighbors use foliage, twigs and shingles planted slantwise, broad­ sides against the northwest, but these devices are troublesome and unsatis­ factory at best. Another way costs a little time and trouble at first, but saves 99 per cent, of the plants and gives satisfaction all around. I make ten-foot frames as shown in the illus­ tration. The material required for each is two ten-foot laths, two three- foot poles of any convenient thickness for crosspieces, and four fourteen-inch weatherstrips for Jegs. These frames cau be tunied oft by any bandy man in ten minutes, say six to the hour. I put two hooks in the middle^ of each lath and upon thece fasten strips of tow sacking, which can be adjusted In less time than it takes to gather twigs or put up shingles for one bed. This frame method has several ad­ vantages besides neatness. It not only shields the tender plants from the di­ rect rays of the sun, but keeps the newly watered ground moist for hours, thereby allowing slow evaporation, in­ stead of caking by sudden exposure to sun and wind. On windy days I let the sacking down agatast the wind­ ward side. Six frames answer through­ out an entire season for an acre gar­ den, as they can readily be moved from bed to bed as soon as the young plants are sufflciently hardened oft. Everyone knows that a good start is essential to success, especially with tender plants like cauliflower, red cab­ bage and eggplant. I have had whole beds of cabbage stunted by too sudden exposure to hot sun, northwest winds and caking of newly watered ^ound. —Emil O. Peterson, in New England Homestead. P o u ltry K o tes. This is a good time to give tire poul­ try house a thorough cleantag. Keep the roosts saturated with kero­ sene and vermin will not be likely to trouble tbe fowls. Gather the droppings during the summer and store them for next sea­ son's use on the garden. Don’t try to keep several pure breeds of fowls. Keep only one and let that one be the best of the kind. If the hens are confined In yards a box of leftnce should be sowed for them at tatervals of two weeks. Totmg turkeys should never be al­ lowed to leave the coop in the momtag ontU the grass Is perfectly dry. Remore all the old nests and litter from the bouse and bum them, thea scald and whitewash every p art If the little chicks are lonsy rub a little grease on .under part of mother's wings and the trouble will soon end.

RallroMisOl^eet to til* Tix Asses*. Ueiit< The roilrt)ada doing business In this State have filed exceptions to the as- sessm rat of rfillroad property made hy the Corporation CommiiSsion for the year 1900. The neiw sissessments are practically the same as those made ifi 1899, and which are being fought in the United Stete;; Circuit Court as unjust and un­ reasonable by the railroads. The In­ crease In th'e asEessment of railroad property for 1899 and 1900 is appoxi- mately ten million dollars. The railroads will contest the EEseas- ments ordered by the commission for 1900 and It is understood that they will resort to ^ e c6urts as they did in 1S99. The exception filed by th* railroad yes­ terday are the Mm* as those filed dur­ing 1899, and it is very likely that the fight against the assefismeht of 1900 wlil be made along the same lines as that ag.'iinst the assessment of 1899. I ;a.Jor John fl; Shaw, representing the Sc-board Air Line Railway, Captain Chas. Price, representing the Southern Railway, and Mr. R. 0. Burton, In be­ half of the Atlantic Coast Line, filed the exceptions In behalf of the respec­ tive roads for which they appear. The attorneys representing the railroads offered as evidence the complaints and answers file'd in the railway taxation m atter of 1S99. The commission re­ ceived the exceptions, promising to consider them. It is not probable that any arigument will be made. "The exceptions of the.^Southern Rail­ way are signed by Colonel A. B. An­ drews, first vice-president. The South­ ern accepts as follows: “The Southern Railway Company, In answer to the letter of Mr. Brown, clerk, notifying the company of the as­ sessment of its property for taxation by the commission, for the year 1900, re3- pectfully suggests that its objections and exceptions are the same as those for the year 1899. They are embraced in its bill of complaint, filed in the Cir­ cuit Court of the United States for the Eastern District of North Carolina, in which court, it Is to be hoped, they will be speedily determined." The exceptions of the Seaboard Air Line were filed by Ex-Judge L. R. W atts and John D. Shaw. These gen­ tlemen say In their answer that the Seaboard Air Line Railway "respectful­ ly suggests that the m atter of the cor­ rectness and legality of this assessment are the same as is involved in certain suits in equity in the Circuit Court of the United States for the Eastern Dis­ trict of North Carolina, now pending and it does not think that it is cal ed upon to go into the m atter anew at this time, and respectfully refer to the bills of complaint in said suits and to the injunction orders filed therein for its objections and exception.” The exceptions of the Atlantic Coast Line, which were filed by R. O. Barton, Esq., assert that the respondent does not think that it is called upon to go into the m atter anew at this time and refers to previous bills of complaint filed. The Carolina and Northern Railway Company, through L. T. Nichols, gen­ eral manager, excepted to the assess­ ment of tli'e property of that road. In a statement filed with the commission It was stated that the proposed increase is an advance of over 27 per cent, upon the assessment of the previous year. This advance, It is declared, is not in proportion to the advance in the earn­ ings, which is not over 10 per cent. It is further stated that the incrSased as­ sessment is in excess of the increased value of real estate along the line of the railway. The property of the Carolina and Northern was assessed at $3,300 per mile and the general manager asked that the assessment be reduced to J3,0C0 per mile. The request was granted and the reduction ordered. P. D. Camp, president of the Wln- ton ilailroad, Mked that the assess­ ment of his road be reduced from ?2,500 to $1,500 per mile. The request was granted and the reduction or­ dered. Arthur Mills, Esq., of New York City, appeared before the commission in be­ half of the Merchants’ Dispatch Trans­ portation Company, requesting a reduc­ tion of the assessment on the property of that ■company, which is engaged in the refrigerator car business. By rea­ son of an error in the returns made to the commission, the property of the ccompany was assessed at $36,000, When Mr. Mills explained the error tha assessment was reduced to $3,450. State Eriefs. The Spencer T. M. C. A, is now well under way and will be opened very shortly. Two hundred and fifty name* ijave already been secured for member­ ship at the annual dues of $3 per year. The Catawba cotton mill shut down recently to put in a new and much larg­ er engine and about 1,200 new spindles. About a month will be required to get tEe engine in place and ready for work. Adjutant-General Royster says there will be no encampment this year. It appears that only about $3,000 was available for encampment. There are 40 companies and Naval Reserves divis­ ions "Who get a $250 annual allowance, thus making $40,000; the Adjutant- General’s department costs J1,000, as does the inspection of troops, while tha quartenmaster’s department costs $1,500 and allowances to regiments and inci­dentals say $500, making a total of $13,000, while the annual appropriation is $16,000. The soldiers of the Second and Third Regiments wanted to go Into camp at W rightevlile; the First to camp at AsheviUe or else take a practice march. The Greenville company has been accepter and mustered in and as. signed to the Second Regiment- The shirt factory at the penitentiary in which were employed 30 of the Fed­ eral convicts, who were recently aent to Nashvilte, Tenn., has been fililed with State convicts, 90 being at work of whom 36 are women. There are now 60 efmale convicts. ’The penitentiary authorities say tBat cince the Federal convicts were oent away there is great improvement in the morals of the con­ vict body; tfiat the State convicts work a great deal better than the Federal prisoners, and are much easier man­ aged. The output ef the shirt factory is now 100 down a day. The Italian consul at Shanghai cables that the Italian mission in Hu Wan has be«ni destroyed, and Birtiop Fantosatl aai two miBsionarles killed.

He Was Too Good for tbe “ Tecs.” A few vreeks .ago two detectives, one from London and the other a Glas­ gow mnn, were discussing their profes- sional experiences In one of the streets in Glasgow. An argument eMued on the respective abilities of English and Scottish thieves, and the smart one from London, on their parting at a street corner, said that It the London thieves, especially pickpockets, were as harmless as the Scottish ones, they would soon be cleared out. Taking this as an aspersion cast on the astuteness of the Scottish police aa well, the Glasgoiv detective was net­ tled, and thirsted for revenge. Look­ ing round, he espied a little fellow who had been dogging them, and who ■n-as known as an expert pickpocket Crossing the street, he addressed the boy, and pointing to the retreating figure of the English detective, he ask­ ed If he would know him again. “Aye,’ replied the boy. “What aboot it?-’ "I want you to lift his ticker.. He says no one in Glasgow can relieve him of It.” “Ah, It’s a’richt—see ony green?” “Honor bright. Tommy! I’ll give you half a crown when you deliver up the W’atch to me.” “Ye will; an’ what else?” “Xothlng else.” “Let’s see, then. I’m to lift the ticker, an’ you're to pay halt a crown for’t on the spot?" “Yes, that’s it.” , “.\.n’ wad ye ken it If ye seen it? “I would among a thousand.” “Is that it, then?” aud the boy, div­ ing into his trousers pocket, display­ ed the Identical watch, and explained tiiat he had secured it “while the gent was chattiu’ aboot the prigs.” At t e n t i o n is t.acilltated it you m enlton th is paper w hoa w rltioif advertlserF. 8 0 .3 0 D R S P I I S MEW DISCOVERT: t\im _________________ to d a y s* tVree. »r. a. a. «t£SH’BBo»s,Bax ».AtUBt».e*. ^ QOITRE OR BIG NECK CURED.
