; a imo gingercaKes, aua nis
' t-r asked him what mes
!:e was going to send back
I r and he ruplied, with his
vli full. ''Tell Ler to send
" nne more."
N t long ago a Northern man,
' v h i wi.s as kind and as' clever
Jl I' could be, hired about fifty
' -r i-s to dig in his mines,
while digging they struck
UI a corn-shucking, siugs-song
1 ', and their picks came
i wn in harmony, aufl as It
l'- 1 slow tune there was alow
'''ik. This did not suit the
vt-iy ideas and quick step of
1 employer, and he to!d the
:' ' to stop their singing. That
Ji'fctht about half of them quit
".wouldn't work for no man
what would't let a nigger sing."
So he repealed the -law and got
them back again. Next day
they sang a , slower tune than
ever, and so he hit upon a new
plan and said that if they must
work to music he could fix it all
right. 80 he Retailed the best
singer of the gang and made
him stand on the bluff aboye
them and sing a lively tune.
He got the boss to stand near
by and beat time for them,
three beats to the bar, and he!
tnea to get the pioKs to swing
to the same measurer but hey
wouldn't swing. It was too
funny for anything ahd tickled
the darkies so they couldn't
work nor sins for laughing.
Then he asked the boss if he
couldn't teach them some lively
music at night and get them
trained to more lively work.
Something like
- Cburu, butter, chum,
. Peter standing at the gate
Waitiug for the bntter cake.
Churn, batter', chnrn,
Tnrow, shovel, throw,
Dig, pick, dig.
But the boss rebelled and
said he wasn't hired to teach
a nigger singing school and
he'd be dead swamped if he
was gwine to do it. it ta&es a
Northern man a year or so to
understand a negro. He comes
here with a natural sympathy
for the race and wants to show
them that Le is their friend. In
about six months he is disgust
ed with and doesn't want them
about him, but in a year or two
he finds out the good that Is in
him, and learns how to use him
to advantage. Two years ago
a yankee hotel man told me
he would not have the dirty
wasteful things about him. and
so hej sent North for some
white servants, but he has got
negroes now and has learned
to matiage them. Talk about
the poor oppressed pegro. Why
they are the happiest race upon
earth, and there is no sense in
trying to make them unhappy.
They have, more fun, more
jokes, more frolics in the camp
or in the field or by the fire
side, or on an excursion, or at
the church, than anybody. It
does not suit him or fit him to
hold office, and he never will
hold it i'i these parts. If their
leaders in the Nashville conven
tion want office they will have
to migrate to some other coun
try and set up a government.
Talk about not getting their
share of school fund. Rigit
here -in this town, they get ten
times their share, according to
tbe taxes they pay. Here- is- a
free school with eighty scholars
and it is supported by the
white folks. Nine-tenths, of
the money comes from them.
When they want to build a
church the white folks are the
subscribers when a house
burns down they go round
among ihe white folks for mon
ev to rebuild aad they net it
when one dies the kinfolks
will beg the grave clothes from
their kind-hearted white
friends and they will have the
biggest kind of a wake at the
funeral. Here is that big-
mouth John who drives a de
livery wagon worrying me now
to stop my pen and hunt him
up a pair of my old pants and a
coat, and I'll have it to do, 1
reckon, to get rid of ; him. He
gets fifteen dollars a month for
riding around, and he spends
every ceut of it in frolicking
and gets his clothes by grin
ning arid begging among his
white friends. Here are these
able bodied. happy, . greasy
shiny darkies, who work in the
mines and drive the teams get
ting their dollar a day and
spending it at night. They
could save half of it if they
would; and get rich. Twenty
five cents a day will feed him,
and less than that will clothe
him. There are a hundred
thousand able bodied negroes
in Georgiaand Alabama earning
a dollar a day. If they would
save half of it they would ac
cumulate fifteen million dob-
lars a year, and in ten years
have one hundred aud fifty
million dollars. Just think of
it. Think what they could do,
if they would. But then they
wouldn't be happy, so let them
work and laugh and spend if
they want to. Old Uncle Sam
is perfectly happy iu his sim
plicity. I respect him. He
works for me and isa pure un
adulterated nigger, and is al-
prematurely so as to leave a
fortune for their relief and ed
ucation. One would think that
these persecuted darkies would
fly up north at once and take
refuge in the arms of their de
liverers, but here they are still.
The good book says it is more
blessed to give than to receive.
So Jet them keep on giving.
But the negro says it is more
blessed to receive thafn to give
and eo it all works together for
good, I reckon, I hope so.

We advise the farmers of

have tried cotton as an exclu
sive erop and it has failed yon.
Next year cut cotton crop down
and plant a crop of tobacco.

stead of planting feo much cot
ton, put iu less aud make the
land richer. You have a great
advantage over most other to
bacco sections in that you can
make cotton also, and the
crops conflict very little. The
tobacco crop of Nash this year
has been its salvation. We do
not advise running into ex
tremes. Plant only what you
can properly attend to, and put
the balance of your market
crops in cotton. You have one
of the finest counties in the
State and ought to be rich.
Pin up two facts to be con
sidered when you are discour

failures among farmers than
among any other class ; more

Crittendou, of Kentucky, was
at one time engaged in defend
ing a man who had been iudict
for a capital offence. After an
elaborate and poweiful defence,
he closed his effort' with the
following beautiful allegory :
"When God in his eternal coun
cil conceived the thought of
man's creation, he called to him
the three ministers who wait
constaulyiipon the thrcne
Justice, Truth and Mercy and
thus addressed them : "Shall
we make man?" Then said
Justice: "'O, God, make .him
not, for he .will trample upon
thy laws." 'Truth made answer
also : ."O. God, make him not.
for he will pollute 1 ny sauctu
ary." But Mercy dropped upon
her knees, iookintr up through
her tears, exclaimed : "O, God,
make him I will watch over
him with my care through all
the dark paths which he may
have to tread'.'' J Then God
made man and said to him :
"O, man, thou child of mercy ;
eo and deal with thy brother."
The jury, when he had finished,
were drowued in tears, and,
against their own convictions,
brought in a verdict of not
guilty.
The corn crop of South Caro

Mr. S. T. Crossland has a let
ter from a friend at vVarrenton
telling of the good results made
from a few acres planted in to
bacco. On the 12th inst. this
fortunate farmer sold 3,431
pounds cf tobacco for 1,785.87,
being an average of nearly 52
cents a pound. This tobacco
was made on 5 J acres of ground,
and was not all that was made
on the oh acres. This farmer
said his net profits from the 51
acres would be at least 1,500.
Our farmers should study to
bacco culture.--Kinston Free
Press.
BEGIN AT OJCCE.
Thousands of our farmers in
Eastern North Caroliaa have
been for years depending upon
cotton alone. They have neg
lected raising food supplies, be
cause they thought they could
make more money out of cotton,
and that it was more profitable
to raise cotton to obtain the
money with which to buy
verythmg else. The conse
quence is that thousands or.
them, instead of becoming com
paratively rich, a? they might
have done, have grown poorer
year after year. The great
shortage of the cotton crop this
year, it is to be hoped, will
teach the important lesson
that the system they have been
following is. a mistake and a
ruinous oue. iroin conversa
tions with our farmers, we be
lieve there is a strong purpoes
to-give much more attention to
raisiug supplies at home.and in
view of this we want to say
that it is time now to begin
making the preparations. . The
great thing for the farmer to do
is to raise manure. This
should be commenced at ones
and kept up until time to plant
the crop next spring. Make
compobt, pen your stock in
properly littered farm pens and
6ave all the manure you can.
Let no opportunity to accumu
late a load of manure be neg
lected. A great deal of mate
rial on every farm, which could
be converted into manure, is al
lowed every year to go to waste.
Manure is money. Take the
same care of it you do money
in your p icket. Any one who
has not tried it would be aston
ished at the vast amount of ma
nure which can be saved in a
short time. Begin at once.

A MODEL BARN.
An exchange thus tells how
to build a model of a barn
"With a farm of 174 acres, I
had an old style barn, with
barn floor in the center, stab
ling for thirteen head of cattle
in stanchions. I put a fourteen
feet addition to each end of this
barn, and it now stands 40 x 78.
Fourteen feet oil for barn floor
leaves two rows of stabling,
feet long, which
stanchions) seven-
of cattle each, or
in all. The hay
mow is in the center of the
barn, the stabling on each side,
the cattle facing the mow,
which is fourteen feet wide by
fifty long, same length as the
stabling. The other addition
