They say he K is doing very -'well here outride 1 1 the towns, but in the towns tt -y iret hold of some Northern literature, and are more iuso ''int and aggressive.and it takes wore of tha side walk to do l iin than it used to. There are no colored cars ou these railr roads and I have seen big,rusty nscals in a tine car and their dirty boots cocked 'up on the back-of a, seat in-front of them. A lady has no protection against their company except she pays for a seat in a sleeper. But they do not travel as much as they do in Georgia. The negro's worst enemy is the poor wh'te man the man who works in the lumber business or lris&e field ior uauy wages, ana me man who has to rent land and work it himself. He feels that the negro is in his way, and he isu While at the hotel in Clinton. prosperous Kentucky town. I listened to the drummers talk about the negxoeB. Most of these drummers were from the North.' Tbey "were sociable, pleasant gentlemen and have convictions and dare to express them. A Chicago man said : "I have traveled ail over the South, and like your people; but I tell yon, you will never catch us until yon get rid of the negro. He is your dead weight. You don't farm right, nor work . right. You sleep too late. Your far mers come to town too much. Why I see this little town of Clinton thronged with country people to-day just because- it is county court day. Oar people don't do that. Up North you can t ten a court day iroru any other day. Now, if yon could tret rid of the negro, and put the working German fn Ms place they woud make more staff on one , acre than you make on two. Why don't yonr people get up sooner and work harner?" A big whiskered countryman who nad been a siieni listener, spone up; m a solemn voice and said. "We aon't have to." ihe answer surprised the Northern man very much, and eel him back for a moment, but he rallied and said, "We 1 know. you dont have to, tut, my frieud don't yjou want to make orn and potatoes than you do ?" "I fioiri, saiu me solemn man. "Potatoes are ten cents a bush el now,-Lnd corn is twenty five ttTi . " - . . . . nat ao we want with any more. Iheres too much now, ihe price won't pay for the hauling it to the railroad: and if your Germans were down here and doubled stuff wouTdn't tiling,'' But the Chicago agaiir eud said : the fcupply, bring v any man rallied "But you must admit that the Northern J'ariura are managed better than yours. You can't help but see that as you travel through our country. The Germans are splendid farmers," "Splendid' said the -ftolemn man, ana 11 you could pies 'em, it would be all right, but they are mixed powerfully mixed: Our niggers have kept furriners away from here, thank God, and that's about all the use we've get for 'em.' But as betwixt the nigger and your lawless set of furriners and anarchists and tramps and thieves, I'll tak the nigger every time. I .don't want to have to lock up and hide and stand guard over everything I've got; My friend, you don t understand our peo pie. We have an idea that there are bigger things in this wjolld than money." After a naUse in the conversation a New "York man' put in and said: -'Well I'm. a; traveling man- too. and my trade has beeu more: West than South .till the past two years, and 1 tell you I have been nndeceiv ed. The Southern people don't how up like the Northern peo ple especially, in their modes of farming. But. let me tell you, the Ndrthern farmers are fearfully in debt. The farmers don't own the farms- not half of them. They are covered at over with mortagages from New York jto' Kansas. Boston owns Kansas pretty much, and don't dare to sell her outJ for there are no buyers, It Is a common : trick in Kansas and roa for a man to borrow two thousaud dollars on a farm that was not worth a dollar more than than that. The agents of these Eastern syndicates that had millions of dollars to lend got a liberal commission on every dollar they loaned) . and so after the farmer h id already got all it was worth he wanted to get more, and he would go to the tax assessor and say "T f vou have got my farm down at two thousand dollars, It is worth every dollar of four thousand. I don't want my farm slandered in any such away" And so the assessor would iiut him down at four thousand dollars, and he would eo-to the money king and say "I want to . get another two thousand dollars on my land," and he would pull out his tax mceitits and show them, and set some more money. . "Well aftor hia notes fell due he didn't care a cent. He had virtually sold his farm for more monev than it was worth, and the money king let him stay fhr he had rather- he would siav and take care of the pla than not. I kndw of hundreds of sucu cases. New .England money! is locked up the mm lions, but in the last few years thev are turning their atten tion to the South and find better ceople to deal with and a more inviting for investment The North is at last opening her eves and stes the South in a different light, and I be lieve that a better time is com- intr." ' The solemn man nad straigh tened ud and said. "My friend -i. i you talk to please me. Talk spme more." This reminds me of a letter I hid in my pocket a letter about the : Confederate monu ment that the Maryland boys built at Gettysburg. That monument is the dead com rades who are buried there, and that the Abe Patterson post of the Grand Army of the Re public ordered to be moved. Here it Is : ;' Sandy Lake, Pa., Dear Brother Arp I was reading your letter and noticed your remarks about that monu ment. I was on the field last September and saw the monu ment and didn't hear any un kind remarks made about it by the boys in blue, and I thought how pleasant it was that the time had ; come when the graves of the blue and gray oduld be marked together where they fought and fell for the cause they thought was right But, alas l it looks like death will only close the bitter contention. Surely no refined mind would make a fuss about such a thing. I am a Republi can and a Northern man, but I feel like we; were all of one country and ought to love one another, so I call you Brother Arp. . . I have picked a sprig of gold en rod that grew at the base of that monument and I send it in this letter to tMrs. Arp in re membrance of that monument and as a token of my good will and esteem. Yous truly, . James Yanney. Oh, for a. thousand such let ters from the'boya in blue. i UILI, arp. 1 TE' BEST WAY.

'-But how could youVet hit in the face at Shiloh ?" I asked. "Well, sir," aid he, half apologetically, "after I had run a mile or two I got careless, and looked back."- i'his story reminds me of how one of Ellsworth's X ire Ziou- ave's killed his first Confeder ate, lie said that he marched out to the battle of Bull Run, and" when about hair way there he met a Johnny Keb in am bush. "What did you dathen?" I asked. "Well, sir," he answer ed, "I drew .out my revolver, and he drew out his bowie knife, and then I took the lead from the start and kept it clear pinto Washington City, and " "But how did you kill the man?"

Capt. Finch alwayr made it good here, and he 1b doing the same in his new home. Wilson county beginners are lucky in having such an expert tobac -conist in their midpt. His crop will bringhim about $4,000. Henderson Tomahawk. The Commissioner of Agri culture in his annual report says' : In the history of no nation have been such a thirst for knowledge on the part of the great masses of the people, such high and just apprecia tion of its value, and such wide reaching, successful, and popu lar schemes for self-education; never - before has the- great agricultural public been so willing and indeed so anxious, to receive with respect with intelligence the Information which science offers ; never has science had so' much to give. i In Eastern Carolina'especial- y there is an observable want of email grain crops . It is clear to any one that during a year of great scarcity as next year promises to be, a large grain crop is desirable It is a fact that in this country there has not been breadstuff-made to support the people a year. The consequence must be that a great part of the bread used for the next ten months will have to come from other fields. Now, it seems to us that it will be a wise thing in every farmer throughout this country to sow wheats rye and oats to sup plement the short crops Scot-r land Neck Democrat A contemporary in rebuking a Doastlul Maine farmer ior. nis brag of raising 738 bushels of Irish potatoes on one acre of ground, refers to the fact that once in Asheville. some one within its corporate limits, on the-same area, .raised 1,106 bushels. ' That was the fact, but "alas for the rarity" of it. It -was never done, bat once, neither was Mr. Woodfln's feat of raising 136 bushels of corn to the acre ever repeated. The more shame for it; what man has done, man may do, and instead of an average of 80 to 90 bushels of one crop, and 12 or 24 of the other, the. averages might be made every year to approximate those large num bers which stand ou record, to amaze or to encourage in whatever spirit they are looked on.

Two years ago Mr. Blaine took a despondent, 'vie w of bis physical condition. Travel and rest in foreign 'lands had failed entirely to do the work of recuperation which he anticipated.

Then he en tir ed upon bis Secretaryship. . At first he had some misgivings, aud talked of staying only a year or two at tbe head of tbe Department But gradually strength has return ed, and witb it the old-time elasti city of spirit. Mr. Blaine has found that he is far, better off in active public life than Id retire ment. Oe is pleased immensely with the change which ;has come upon him. The old languor and indifference have gone. The Blaine of to.day is tbe Blaine of six years ago in ambition and in hope.

Mr Carlisle thinks the passage of such a Rule by the republicans of the House would be as great a usurpation of power as Oliver Cromwell was - guilty of when he closed the English parlia ment by force, and that such a Rule would be a violation of sacred rights guaranteed by the Constitution of the United States It is needless -tosay that Mr Carlisle will - be ably supported by every demo crat in the House in fighting a Rule that would give Speaker Reed as much power over legis lation, as , is possessed 'by the Czar of Russia. This is a free country and minorities have rights that must be respected . - ...... Representative Seney, ef Ohio, , left here Christmas day for home to take part' in the Senatorial . fight. Judge Seney is a candidate, but he has not a word to - say against any of the other candidates, all cf whom are his personal friends. The Judge says he has no bar rel to tap,. but that he is in the fight to stay until it is ended. If tbe i democratic members ol the Unsted States . House of Representative hd to. decide the matter there would be no doubt j of Judge Seney 's elec tion. Public opinion here still believes that Mr Brice will win, but it is by no means as un animous as it was several weeks ago. Rightfully or wrongfully the election of Mr Brice will give the republican newspapers an opportunity to cry "boodle. which-. they will not neglect, hence 'many- democrats that personally favor to Mr Brice are hoping that a poor man may capture the prize. . Senator Window has a grand opportunity to show what he is made of when he comes to award' the exclnsive right of taking seals in Alaskan waters for twenty years from May 1, 1890. - The advertisement in viting proposals is now out jftud tbe proposals will be ofened January 23,1890. 4 For the last twenty years this right has been held by ihe Alaska Fur company, ana -every I: member oi buai. organiz tuou uaa uo come millionaire, in ways that the least said about them the better. lnis same, company will expect to renew, their con tract, and from the time given by Secretary Windom from the date of the advertisement 'to the opening of the proposals less than one month it looks a9 though Mr Windom were not averse to .its doing so. Mr Harrison is said to favor the notniuation of Mr Blaine in 1892. If Mr Harrisou wants to side-track Mr Blaine effectually he has only to make this fact officially Known, nor Borne reason or .other the. people of this country have never taken kindly -o administration candi dates of any kind, and there is iio reason in the world why an exception should be made lor Mr .Blaine. It is only an anti-Harrison candidate ' that Mr Blaine could get. the nomi nation. , . "Whom the .gods would de etrOy they first in ake mad.' The republican' leaders, iu spite of protests from members of their own party, have deter mined that the House Election committee shall report ' a Federal election bill to the House. It will never become a law many republicans will oppose it. How the democrats feel about it may be understood from the follwing ' remarks made by Senator PuKh :" It will be impossible to pass such a bill. As for myself. I will remain iu my oeat night and day for weeks. to prevent the Senate from passing such a bill and all of the other - democrats Senators will do the same' This is the most vicious of all the . republican attempts to violate tbe constitntional rights of the States; and it will be resisted to the last by the democrats. .
