We would much rather say kindand gracious things than in dulge in acrid or unfavorable crit icism But truth must lie regarded. Nu man can indulge in fulsome or unmerited praise or in unjust or unfair censui-evwithout injury to his ow n chaiiu ter. , Bearing these reflections in iiihid wevish to refer to the North, Car olina representation in the United Slates Senate. We-had thought that possibly Georgia and one -oth ('i- State had a stronger delegation in the Senate thau North Carolina had. But after watching and wait ing, we are very much inclined to the view that North Carolina lias the ablest delegation of any State whatever. We do not wish to tick le them, or to praise our own State alxive what it deserves. Wereally believe" that since Ben Hilt is, alas! on his death bed, that no State can now fairly rival North Carolina in the Senate. i Senator Ransom, the senior Sen a tor, has certainly added to his rep ut at ion as a practical statesman by the ability with which he has man aged his appropriations " for the Potomac Flats and tor North Car olina. He has shown that he is manager of men, and that in quiet but Very effective ami coiiclu sive way he is able to do very im jMirtant things for the South ami especially lor his 'own State, lie is clearly one of the powers iu the Senate. Senator, Vance lias had much to contend with. A mar.elous gilt lor humor ami wit came near-prov ing fatal at the outset,: Men Who laugh at a mail's' cleverness are prone to nudvrrate his more solid gilts. We have heard men iu North Carolina deny that Vance was man of remarkable ability, and did so because of his infinite jest and inexaus'ible flow -of. spontaneous' humor. But he has outlived such narrow criticism. He is recognized at home and in the Senate ami the North as a man of very sound parts, a most ready debater, a man of information, a man of practical statesmanship, and a hunioris sucu. as. me fienare nas not seen .1 At . 1 ' , since Tom Corwin left its precincts Vance is tlie ablest 'of living North Carolinians.

We graut that in some one field he may have his equal, but w ho has his versatility, Qs wonder ful combination of very singular gifts? He is our fullest-, most coin plete man, and we w ish to say it, for it is in us and has been in us for some years fake him as he is,: -'all and in all, lie is one of t he great est -.men yet Iku ii in the state by no means deficient in men of high mark. North Carolina is excellently rep resented, surely, iu the Seuate. When either of the present Sena tors is set aside for any other iinan North Carolina will lie the sufferer and the country at large will; feel it. Think of Jim Leach trying to fill Vance's seat, or "Kiirnel John ston liaving Ransom's seat which he has filled for eleven years w ith such signal ability, zeal, discretion and usefulness! The thougliVis paralyzing!" j North Carolina has more cotton factories iuojieration than any oth er Southern State, all of w hich are. paying handsome dividends on the money invested, and furnishing remunerative employment toj her citizens. The march of improve ment is not confined to any partic ular sections or class, but is gener al throughout the entire State, and embraces all grades of her people; and the future outlook for her pros perity is most encouraging to all who are. interested fn her welfare. The "Did "North State" has always lieen celebratedfor her hospitality, the valor of tier sons and the beau ty of her daughters, and now bids fair ti be a famed iu the future lor her material prosjierity. NOTES FBOM THE FABM. Small Farms Pay Best. .The Governor of Florida reports that the tendency of the agriculturists of that State is toward small farms. In California the fanners who. earn most money jer acre are those who have 20 or 30 acres in grapes and other fruit. The richest New York farmers are those who hare grown berries and- adcled every year an acre or two to their rar orchards, and the mast profitable farms of all are those within a few miles of the city, whose managers bank cousid- siderable money, yearly from the sale of vegetables grown on a few acres that are hired at rentals seme times reaching three hundred dol lars jier acre ier aunuin. One man who iMiught a farm of 23 acres 23 years ago lias for years - averaged seven thousand dollars yearly on the yield of pear trees that he , plauted himself. But farmers , .generally seem to imagine that humanity needs only wheat,; corn and pork The . farmer should learu to eat soineth iug besides ineat anil bread. lie should also learn that the peo ple who do not own farms are will ing and anxious to buy whatever vegetable products ' may be fit to eat. - . - iiV. 0. Farmer : A visit to Mr. W D. Tharp's apiary, near. Eagle Mills, N. C, ought to convince the most iicredulous of the importance and profitableness of bee keeping and improved machinery, .

Now his thirteen colonies have increased to 44 arid seven more will be added during the year. Cotton Culture. A planter of Georgia, gives the following plan of cultivating cotton by the level system, as srpenor to the old plan: When we keep our lands lev el, which can be done by giving proper distance in width of rows, we have a uniform soil the sun and atmosphere pene trating and affecting all alike a uniform moisture which is just as attractive to a feeder in one place as another each root having its own way coursing ' at its will. A good width of rows brings out a large number of feeding roots because the attraction is just as great in the centre of the rows as at any other locality with the same opportunities as to a supply-of moisture, and un der such circumstances cotton will stand a drouth of twenty days with less injury than by the old plan, one of ten days and I am saying little enough for the wide rows and cultivation when I altirm that sucn is my experience. An Outrage. V 1 " HOW THE MAYOR OF STATESVILLE DECIPES ('ASKS. The case of Solicitor Adams and his assailant, Stockton, was heard lie fore Mayor Eliasou Monday, ami iu the face of the testimony, w hich was not controverted, he held both parties equally'; guilty, and fined them KoOand losts eaeli. Mr. Ad ams prayed ail appeal, ami this was denied him, the Mayor holding that there w as no appeal from his court. Mr. Adams offered to give security for the fine and costs mi:il he could have the case reviewed in another court; this was likewise denied him, and he was..-ordered into the custody of the marshal until the money was paid, it was paid then on the spot, and Mr. Adams at once took out proceedings lie fore Judge Avery, who overruled the Supreme, 'Court of tlie town of Statesville, and by a judicial order forced the May or to restore the money to Mr.'' Ad. ams. The result of this trial has excited even ( more indignation in the community than the attacks ou Maj. Kobbins and Mr. Adams. Statesville Landmark'. The Greensboro Patriot says that one of the most horrible murders on record is jreported ' to have, .oc curred at Shoe Heel, Kolieson county, last Saturday. William Iioliertson, a young farmer, allowed himself to, lie jiersuaded to join a crowd of spreeing friends, and after they had a whole day's debauch he returned home. His wife, to whom he had not lieen long married, was sifting by the window knitting her husband's socks. The sight of her infuriated him, and picking np an ax by the .woodpile he deliberately walked up to the unfortunate wo man, who had been a devoted wife to him, aud with a brutal exclama tion sent the keen Wade crashing into her skull. She fell dead with out a groan. ' "Certainty of Relief." Wilmington, X.'O, FVb. 4, '31. H. H.

There was nothing else to do, so the sufferer sat down on the floor and began to wrestle with his boot, which was naturally new and tight, while a fresh rumor got under way to the effect that the groom was beastly tight, 'am insisted on paring his coins. ; As the boot finally came off its crushed wearer endeavored, unsuccessfully, to hide a trade dollar hole in! the heel of his' stocking: noticing which the parson, who was a sky contrac tor, said grimly: "You seeni ' to be getting married just iir time my young friend!"

Our '"readers' will reineinlier. jher death was caused by taking mor phine instead of quinine w hich her husband had bought for her at -Dr. ("!.. A. Thomas' drug store. The clerk in the drug store who -has lieen discharged by Dr. Thomas . is ont in a card in which he says tthe facts connected with : the accident alxive referred to are simply these: In the statement I shall be concise, that the most casual reader - may understand fully and remember well: On the afternoon of the 28tli of July, a colored man entered jthe drug store pt Dr. C, A.Thoinas jaud asked nie far a small bottle of quin ine. 1 gave him the smallest we had in the house. He took the jxit tie and oieiied it, tea" ing off the outside wrapjier. He asked .the price and I replied one dollar. Ex pecting the price to be titty cents, our usual price ior rue smaiiesi bottles of quinine, he gave .it. back to uie stating that he dil not have, the money to pay loiit. I offered to w eigh for him the desired amount, but he objected, stating that he was told to get a bottle ami that he must do so. Knowing, as all drug gists know, the difficulty in selling a, package ot medicine with jthe seal broken, I did not place it blick iu the box from w hich I took it, but carried it to the prescription ;ase to dispense front until exhausted. On the evening af the same j af ternoon Mr, Ii. A: .Williams came in and asked lor height grains) ot quinine. I very naturally went , to the case ami dispensed the required amount from this Ixittle and re stored it to its proper' 'place. in lie prescription case. While engaged in waiting on Mr. Williams Dr- Thomas came iu ami marked the envelope which was t receive the eight grains of quinine then being weighed out." j The matter will doubtless Re ceive attention at I he Pliarmac'ii tical Convention w hu h is iu session at Winston' this week.
