The Asheboro Cornier PRICE ONE DOLLAR A YEAR Wm. C. HAMMER, Editor. Entered ut the tost Office at Asheboro as 'econd C. w. Matter. There is a movement in Mary land to suppress bribery in elections, aud two uien have been indicted iu Dorchester county, for alleged use of money to influence voters in the recent election. One of them is a Sunday School Superintendent und Stands high socially and in business circles: the other stands equally as high. If these men are guilty, it is a sad commentary upon the morality of that communitv. That men would pass the plate around at church aud sit in the front pew and say long prayers, and yet re sort to buying votes, is scaicely to be believed. It may be that peo ple of that kind are unconscious of their inconsistency, and iu many instances, no doubt are, but iu th opinion of some people it is on par with horse-stealing and sheep 6tealinff. It is a blow at the right of self-government; it is degradin to our citizenship a-d to our man hood. It is excused sometimes because it is said that it is i necessary practice iu order to de feat the efforts of the opposition This is a por argument. You might as well say that the poor thief who steals to support his family in the victim of a long tablished practice because others have stolen before he stole. Every body knows that it is wrong to buy votes; and everybody knows that it is a dangerous and detestable prac tice. It should be stopped, but it never cau be stopped until healthier public sentimeut prevails in localities where it exists. No man has any right or any excuse to engage in such practice, aud every man who does so should be punish ed. Because others have violated the law iu this way is no reaeon excuse that any one shouldj go un punished. Thousands of men carry concealed weapous, steal and engage in various species of false pretence, but these are not used as an argument for excusing those who are indicted for these well known offences. their taxes. Every one who can should meet the sheriff at his ap pointments and pay the taxes now due. The habit of making deposits iu the bank forms a tendeiiey to save money, and also places it where in case of tire or robbery of your home, your money is safe. An old man in this county less than a year ago had stolen from him the savings of a life-time. If he had placed his money iu a bank this could have been avoided. It is said that at last the Adminis tration at Washington fis going to take up the charges against Federal officials in North Carolina for their pernicious activity iu politics. Mem bers of the Civil Service Commission will go to Greeusboro and Raleigh to make investigations. It is said that the Commission intends to make i thorough investigation and it is ex pected that some of the Federal officials in the State will lose their jobs. There will be some rattlin" around about Greensboro and Ral eigh and in some other towns and villages if the Commission goes to the bottom of things. The Repub licans in the State who mads sport of Senator Simmons' charges during the campaign will, no doubt, find out that the matter is more serious than they thought it would be. There was gross violation of the law on the part of many Federal office holders of the smaller "fry" in this section and especially in this county. If the Commission desires the in formation there will be do trouble in getting it. Ex-Judge T. B. Womack, of Ral eigh, has an excellent article iu the December number of World's Work on "State Owuership and Operation of Railroads iu North Carolina." He gives the history of the State ownership and operation of the North Carolina Railroad and also of the Atlantic and North Carolina Railroad, tie shows clearly that with the lights before us it is im practicable in North Carolina for the State to own and operate railroads. Your Taxes. Some sheriffs in some counties have to borrow money every year out of the bank to meet the school vouchers. Such is not, the case it, th'B county, because the people have, is a rale, paid their tMX.s promptly; but there in a dirpunittuu among It is a fine record that Mr. Henry Caveness, the retiring chairman of the board of County Commissioners, has made. While he has been chairman of the Board many thou sand dollars has been expended public improvements, such as the building of bridges, working tlu public roads, etc. aud yet there is more money iu the treasury now how than at any time within the knowledge of any niau now livin Mr. Caveness and his associates have made an excellent record. Itamsrur IU iun. Miss Georgia Luther is spending a few days iu Greensboro. Mr. and .Mis. Vaughn Marley spent last Sunday with lelatives at LVdir Falls. The teachers of our graded school attended the meeting of the Ran dolph County Teacher's Association held at Asheboro last Saturday. We are pleased to know thai the Association will meet in Ramseur soon. Messrs. A. B. Covington and J. D. Leonard went to Greeusboro last week to represent the Ramseur Baptist Church at the meeting of the Baptist State Convention. The Sunday School of the M. E. church will celebrate Christmas this year with a Christmas tree. Mr. E. J. Steed killed a pig last week that weighed 3tit pounds. Mrs. Jno. I). Williams lal the misfortune to have her left tnumb severely mashed in a door last week. Mr. M. F. Burgess cut his left knee very painfully last week while chopping wood. Messrs. Watkins and Kinnvy are hauling a laige ijuanity of tiue lumber They run a large mill at Coleridge. JjMr. E. C. Watkius was in Wash ington City last week and made a coutract with S. R. R. Company for a large lot of R. R. material. rarties in need of lumber of any kind would do well to consult Messrs. Watkins aud Leonard. Cards are out announcing the marriage of Miss Mary Leana Smith, slaughter ot Mis. M. G. Smith, to Mr. Ntuna Franklin Maish, in the Methodist Church at Uaniseur, December 19th, l'JUC at 8 o'clock p in. Rev. C. A.

Mr. farks comes from 1'is gab, in Raudolph county, near which place he has been engaged in the mercantile business. I'rof. Ledford held the last of his teachers' meetings yesterday at Bine'- school house, for Boone and Tyio twnships. Of the eighty odd tochers in the county, only time have failed to attend tueseluieetings. The schools ire starting up mcelv and the prospects are good for a profitable year.

The seeds are commonly sown with erimsou clover in August or Sep tember in corn or on tields that might otherwise remain hare through winter. It has been used in this maimer with perceptible benolit on Hope farm uud iu thousand of other trials through out the coun ry. A Dundy I'lnnt. In bringing a newly purchased addi tion into cultivation we concluded to use this handy plant. The plot was deeply plowed iu June, alter the ever green nursery that had occupied it many years had been removed, aud twice harrowed at intervals of a fort night to kill sprouting weeds and drag oh the numerous roots. A portion was planted with late table corn, fertilizing with lieu manure in the hill. Crimson clover and cow lurn turnips at the rate of four ounces turnip to til'teen pound clover seed were sown on the remainder Aug. 10, working it in with au ordinary cultivator. Mixed Seed. Mixed seeds were later sown In the same proportion at the last working of the corn lu September. We tried to sow the clover at the rate of fifteen pounds to the acre and secured a thick stand for soil in such poor eouditiou, There was ubundanee of rain, enabling the clover to smother the turnips al most completely in the early sowing, but In the corn there was a good stand, entirely covering the clover iu many places.

' As to the Magnolia pear, a writer In Home and Farm says: It originated, I believe. In Georgia, Au orchard of Magnolia pears will come !'ito hearing as soon as or perhaps sooner than an Klberta peach orchard. The Magnolia Is equal to the old relia l !e Keillor, I think, in every respect. ;;ad the fact that it matures later, that it Is larger and handsomer In color, innkes it more valuable in these re spects. When fully ripe the flavor Is ou a par with the KeilTer, hut when lot fully ripe is perhaps a little coarser. From a commercial standpoint many who are in a position to know have already asserted that It 13 more valua ble for the south than unv pear yet in troduced. Although it has beea Intro duced several years. It seems that but few nurseries have It, and those few have hut a limited supply of the young trees, but it is ujt extra hard to propa gate. D11'hen on 1'nfTrn Land. It often happens that a farm la more or less cut up by ravines or depres sions which Intersect or separate fields and the supply ditches have to be ex tended across these low places. This is usually done in one of three ways. When the depression is not more than a few feet dep levees are built on each side. In other cases flumes are built on grade from side to side, and lastly the water may be carried across in a pipe luid In the form of an invert ed siphon. The enrth levee Is the cheapest, but it Is su'Jeet to leaks and washouts for the first few years. The wooden tlu me answers the purpose fairly well, hut it is subject to early decay, and the clay or ceaieut pipe laid beneath the surface, although dearer ut first cost, is really the cheapest in the end. Ileiietits id Itaiiroad lliiilding. More miles of railroad will prob ably be constructed in this State during the next year than ever be foieinany one year. There was a very interesting editorial a few days Hgo in The News and Observer that mentioned a large number of rail roads now under construction and others that are projected. They are not limited to any particular part of the State, but scattered all over the State, and, of course, will add greatly to the development of the sections traversed by them. The benefits to be derived from the con struction of so many railroads will be of almost incalculable value, and the present work of constructing them puts in circulation large sums of money, because high wages are paid the laborers and the roads are constructed at heavy expense.
