IJf The Advance endeavors to do an hon est, faithful and impartial chronicler of the newt, devotlnp special attention to the section n which it is -jbllshod. It Is Democratic to the core and will spare neither friend or foe who is in hostility to -Democratic success. It believe the best - interest . of the Na- . lion and the Btate imperatively demands the mtontlnn of the Democratic party in Dowermti it will snare noeffortito accomplish that result. It will seek to promote the in dustrial development ot tho State and section and will take measure in doing whatever lies In its power to aid tho farmers and laboring utn in their efforts to better their condition. 1 very honest son of toll will find in the Ad tanci a sinoere friend. ;Kvery effort looking to the establishment of more and better edu cational institutions will receive our1 hearty -operation and endorsement. 1 The ADYANca circulates lanroly in every County East of Kaleign, end is therefore a Bnlendld ad vertisimr medium, nates liberal. A first-class job offljo is run in connection with the tn ner and we will be pleased; to re ceive orders. Our office is one of the best aulDDed in this section of tbe State for com mercial work and we will do as good work Rod at as low futures as anybody. Entered tc the Post Office at Wilson, N.

We are rather surprised that the big hearted and enterprising people of Asheville should per mit the Daily Citizen newspa per to fail for want of adequate Bupport. A thing that was do ing bo much good for; the boun ding West should have received ample encouragement. But all things here are human. It is not the first time that a commu nity has looked through spec tacles the size of dollars; and it will not be the last time that the. painstaking weigher of. nis wealth comes to a grief " of the light ; weightedness of. short sightedness. It is not improbable that the great sisterhood of American States will include forty five for the census of 1890,. the eleventh. Bills are reported for the crea tion for the State of Idaho and Wyoming, and ,the effort will be by the Democrats in Con gress to include New1 Mexico, which should be called Monte zuma. The rapid growth of the Northwest, the frequent birth of hew States, admonish us of the Atlantic slope that the "march of empire" has moved the centre of political, power Westward, and that we are lag ging in the race of progress as well as , weakening in the con test for power' and political in fluence. We must 4 tighten our hold and strengthen' our grip. HENEYW-.GBADY. The news that Henry W. Gra dy had been called from earth has touched the heart of every one who loves the 'South and her honor. He was the most popular speaker of the South he was an orator,: of strength and a man of courage and his love for the South alway show ed forth. He was only 39 years of age, but he had attained an eminence seldom reached by men of any age'. His death is a 'public calamity and -the wnole .South mourns his death. ' 1 A PUBLIC WATEE SUPPLY-1 A public water supply is the most important consideration that carl engage the attention of any thickly settled commu nity ' ' That which promotes' health an comfort ; that gives pleas ure, serves conveniepce, and promotes long life, mnst ever commend itself to the reasona bleness and earnest attention of mankind. ' That a public water supply does this we have not to go outside the range of observa tion of the least traveled to asr certain and establish. 'Every one knows that in the wells of priyate water supply, of all i thickly, populated communities, disease and death stalks undis guiseo ; the senses of smell and taste proclaim it. Comfort, convenience, ? cleauliness all alike call for the enlarged fa cilities of a public water supply in eyery town of pretention! and proportion..' i ' Why should not a town of the 'size and wealth -of Wilson not enjoy such necessary facil ities ? Even the wealthy do not care for the f privilege of populating the cemetery and promoting ambitious monu ments of, high sounding praise. The poor of Potter's Field . most certainly domicile under pro test, the unmarked corner of their allotted space. But it is written in the law. of -Hygiene, that whosoever drinks of human bile, urine and excrement shall have shortness of davs, be he rich or poo.r The inhabitants of all old settled towns pi pop Ulation are surely doing this thing, and dying, they have not inquired why. J Wilson can draw her, water J supply from Conteutnea Creek I OT Upper XOlsnot owamp, a. oa. 1 il v as the two dozen Other towns of North Carolina which Ahave the public water supply, Aave done. She need not put ier handa far down in her pock ft for it either. If she but say """"the word, tbnt Northern capital she has becu so long desiring and talking about. ( will come . fnTwnrd to do it. It but needs the management and intelli gence, the unity of pu:;- ,;1 the public spirit thai-. ;:..r;:c terizes other places to iicedii . plishit. What say ye? A. GCOD STEP FOEWAED. , Under the terms of the char ter of the East- Carolina Land and Railway1 Company, of New Berne and Ouslow County, the Commissioners of Craven coun ty have oidered an-election for the city of New Berne,' on the 9th, instant, to Subscribe ifty thousand dollars in nve per cent, thirty year bonds to' he work of constructing a'railiroad from New Berne to Jacksorrv ille, in Onslow, to connect with the Wilmington and Onslow Kail road, now far advanced to com pletion. ! We presume there "Is hardly any question as to the result New Berne from once occupying the. first position in .the State, commercially, has fallen to about the lowest scale, in point of commercial, activity, occu pied by any place of pretension in North Carolina. For fully half a century her people have stood still on the fancied supe riority of their natural advan tages, and allowed the facilities of artificial contrivance to in duce away from them - the great volume of Eastern Carolina trade which their city should have always -commanded. If they are at last awaking to the fact that natural advan tages count for nothing, in mod ern time?, unless supplemented by the artificial means that iu man progress has devised i.nd supplied for the- advance and betterment of tho condition of the world, then they are mov ing wisely and beginning to raise a hope for the restoration of their city to her former high estate. But if they neglect this, about the first opportunity ; if they shall smite 'the hand of aid held out to them, there is little hope, in the near future, for that devoted city. " loo long nave we lain dor mant in Eastern Carolina, and seen the Middle and. Western portions flourish and thrive. While here, was, concentrated the wealth, and from hence em anated me spirit or. enterprise (hat first made North Carolina great among States, "of the lat ter days of our history it can only be recorded tnatt we have set still and stagnated. What is4 true of New Berne for : the past forty years, is true Ot most old Eastern Carolina points, and it is true tbat'sbe and they awoke to the fact that if they are to continue to exist they must place themselves in line with J the marching column of the age. , , . : ; 'i , A thorough acquaintance with all localities of North Carolina, from the mountains to the sea, from the Albemarle to the Cape Fear, conviuC3s us that no por-tion-of the State excels Eastern Carolina in all the! natural re sources, climatic advantages and that only the energy and enterprise, the vim and vigor of those more prosperous and progressive reeions have ena bled them to outstrip' our sec tion. ' '. -1 Jj . . It is their push and pretention that has attracted and enlisted Northern and European capital while we have indolently spec Ulated and lazily wondered why K did jiot seen investment and employment in our midst when, as we all well know, all the nat ural conditions presented the greatest and must varied at tractions. ! ' The city of New Berne "will do well to take advantage of the" offer to lay ddwn a" half million dollars in permanent a L a. a. i m investment ior a wors. oi ever lasting advantage to all her in terests ; and other places, sim llarly circumstanced, will not fail to note her actions. - TEE-WILMINGTON MESSENGES The turn of another volume of the Messenger admonishes us to note the flight of time, and to mark the progress of events' For twenty-two years the name of the Messenger news paper has been a household word, in Eastern Carolina. It is not too mucn to say mat no single agency has ever done more for the general ood of the people of all the section called by that name. An insti tution now of Wilmington, the the' chief commercial "center of the ; State, the Messenger ad dresses itself peculiarly o the the confidence and support of people ot North Carolina. -This is the first time iu our history that acuiiy newspaper in North Carolina could claim that it stoocj ou the plane of absolute merit with the publi cations of other S.tates. Yet this does more. , Take it all in all, the very best of Vir ginia, Tenuessee, Georgia,' Ala bama, Florida and South Caro lina, do not approach the Mes senger. The nervy ' proprietor tells us that he has lost large money-; that he is spending bar 1 working days and sleepless nights to retrieve-lost .fortune; . and he thus addresses' himself to the local pride and. ambition that he is serving so acceptably and valuably. But we are afraid words like these fall upon dull ears ; that deeds thus enumera ted challenge unapprectative listeners. , v tlowbeit, we can only say that this effort has deserved well of those in : whose behalf it is exerted; and if it fail of the full measure of success in the end, the extent of then dis- ter must fall rather upon, the heads of those who seeing, yet wcuid not believe ; and that the harm shall come to those 5f little faith and smaller works Tbe IpKson to be drawn from tbe hard times are many. Not the least Among them is the necessity cf dierfeiti -tl crops. If the past vf as H! result in general improve- meiit tli id line the ultimate bene fits of the hard times will far sur pass the depression, inconvenience and even suiiericg oi tne present TEE COW-MACHINE, As Described tf One st;nfls it- Who Under . The Board of Managers of the N. C. Insane Asylum, at Ral eigh, last week discussed the propriety of selling their dairy herd and buying the milk sup ply needed by the institution. The report stated that there are 28 cows in the herd and 15 giv ing milk. These 15 were giv ing about 17 gallons of milk daily. If this is the best they can do with cows, of course they had better buy. the milk, for if the cows are well fed the food consumed makes .'their milk cost for food alone about 30 cents' per gallon. But I expect the trouble is that the cows are not well fed and cared for, Too many men have a mistaken notion of economy in food for cows. They forget that a cow is simply a machine for turning food into milk, and that to make milk a, oow must have a larger supply of food than is needed merely - to keep her alive. The aim. should be to find out how much food a cow can be made to eat and digest profitably: A cow that uses her extra food in ' laying on flesh is not a profitable cow for a dairy nor is one which goes dry for "months before calving. The proper cow for dairy pur poses ia 6ne'that will consume large supplies of food and which has ' a " tendency to use her surplus food in secreting milk, and which comes from an ancestry in which the habit of "keeping in milk has been developed. The question then should be, having such a cow how much milk-making can we get such a cow to do by giving her all the food she can con sume and digest? not how lit tle we can keep her aliv upon. She is, as I have said, merely a machine for turning food into milk, and If the material is not supphed of a suitable kind the machine will not be profitable. No one - can afford to keep ' a herd of 28 cows that will-only average 17 gallons of milk dai ly." In fact, no cow Should be kept in a dairy herd that will not average over 1 J gallons a day the ; year through. By a proper weeding out of poor co we;, and bringing up a herd by the. use of a thorough-bred bull of a good milking breed, it is easy enough to make a better average than this, and to produce milk at a cost of not over 10 cents per gallon. The writer once took charge of a - herd of 18 cows' which, on scant food, ' were giving nine gallons per day. Within four years I Lad bred up a herd of $8 cows, which made an annual average of over 50 gallons daily, and in the flush of the season went' to 75 gallons. The actual cost of the milk inducing food, wages and interest, was less that 10 cents per gallon. It was sold at a uniform price of ib cenps per ganon ana .was a profitable concern. So instead of abolishing their herd the managers of the Insane Asylum had better improve it and make their m'lk cheaper than they can buy it. Halifax in Pro gressive Farmer. IN: TEOSE EARLY DAYS. . A history, of Wilson, for the forty years of its life, develop mencand progress, would afford interesting reading to those of the, ypunger generation, and there are those still among us who could admirably supply it. Among the most striking fea tures of the" town, from the earliest days of its existence, was that of education. ' Wilson became a center of education while" she was yet in the forest. Ii was this which went abroad as her striking characteristic, that so early attracted aLlive and energetic population. It was this which brought to ns the men and women of States to the North of us and from the various outlying localities of our own State.. -: In the latter fifties and the early sixties Wilson maintained the reputation of the most pro gressive,, and as being; the lead ing educatioual community of North Carolina. ; . And why should she not. ? She stood in the midst of one of the finest and wealthiest agricultural sec tions of the State. The men of means in 'that day 'stood on no half way measure. They put their money down for whatever promised pride an-l promotion, and were prepared to double it. They.h"d faith in the outcome of the community and proved it. They were men of no great earning themcelves, and per haps felt the want of education. They believed in it. They sought ijt'.for others, if they could-nt have it themselves. v Are we keeping pace with the march of those early timee? Are we less fortunate than they? 'Does larger intelligence reiuler "us less appreciative? Ill ' t m w nere now are tne iorme large male and female school ef other days? Where is th system of common schools tha hundreds could call his own? we. are railing; Denina in these matters Of the most im portant concern. We are los ing our grip on the traditions of old times. - A generation will not rise np and call us blessed, as they have done of men now passing away. A Card of Thanks'.

Editor : I his year is the worst failure of crops we have ever had in this country. but this is only a beginning of bad crops m my opinion, unless the farmers radically change their present plan ot farming. Two-thirds or tne lands in Wilson county will be a failure with the present plan con tinued. . Two-thirds or tne lanas in this county are in such a con dition for farm purposes, that the expense of m-ikiug a crop on theseilands is always more than the crop amounts to These lands managed as they have been for the last ten years will grow worse and worse. Each time a crop is made on them it is a failure. So farmers who are going to cultivate these lands next year will surely fail. This result cannot be avoided. Years ago when a piece of land was cleared up and cultivated several years and it began to fail to give good results, it was turned out and. other lands cleared. By this plan the people bad good land to cul tivate and the. expense of get ting this better ' land was just what it cost to clear it up. This expense was not generally money expense, but an expense of labor by the boys of the family. Now you know there is a difference in money paid out .and labor done on the place. The fresh lands brought into cultivation this way, by the labor of' the family, were the improved lands of tbe place and the farmers let their old lands - rest while they made good ccops on their fresh or improved lands, made so only by the labor of the family. . So you see no one made a per cent, on the cost of bringing into cultivation the improved lands except the man who sold the farmer his axes. How about the improved lands of the pres ent set of farmers in Wilson county ? How have they, been improved ? By labor done on the place j the farmer and thereby saving all per . cent ? There are very few. if any, im proved acres in Wilson county that have paid expenses. Why ? Cecause the plan of improve ¬ ment is not justifiable and is ruinous, and cannot oe prac ticed by the average farmer. The farmers of this country can not buy guanos to'improve their failing lands even if they could get them at cost, much less pay the big per cent. The plan of buying guanos to. improve lands or to make, lands bring better crops when they begin to fail is the dearest iu- the world, especially under our plan of farming (that is without rota tion.) There are very few farmers who are to some ex tent improving their lands by guano. These farmers have been, . nd are now, rotating their crops. Now, with the proper rotation of crops' and a good plan of composting, lauds can be improved and be made to grow better crops than when fresh. All this has , to take time to improve the lands. Farmers have' failed to im prove their lands by a proper rotation of crops, but. with a veryheavy expense, in the buy ing of guanos have made them very poor.. So much so that two-thirds of them Will not pay for the cultivation of them next year. Now farmers, what are you going to do?' Your lands will surely fail to pay; tbe expense of cultivating them,1 if your plan is as it has ben for ten years past. f Two-thirds of J the land that has been in cotton in Wilson county for the past years should not be planted at all next year, but should rest or be sowed td peas. Crops shoiild be cut down to a few of the best acres on the farm and all the frtsh land cleared up possible. If I had the space. I would like to tell you how to clear it up at a very little expense. rou"t cultivate much land next year, and only such as will pay for cultivation. This plan will leave to rest or in peas a larger part of the -cotton and corn lands of this county, i be Sides a heav expense for their cultivation. Clear ..all the fresh land you can and cut dewn expenses. Don't you farmers think we could get away with a very heavy, ex pense by having the stock 'law. Suppose Wff have a meeting at once and provide spme means by which we can do away with this expense of fen cing. We have plenty of rails' on our lanas to lence in our slock . for several years and as we ar bound to turn out to rest a great deal of our poor lands we could pasture them very easily. When you come to look at this old custom of tencing in in the crop3 instead of the stock, you will find it to be a very expensive luxury., Com pare the ; expeuse of keeping up the fences with the 'actual profit of th stock that runs at large and you willl be surpris ed. Will some several thous and in the county .speak out and let's try to stop this ex pense, Something must be done to cut down expenses for next year. It is time to begin to look about - and see where to cut. . Occasionally. Taylois, N. C, Dec. 26th, 1889. Adm nistrator's Notice! Having qualified as administrator C. T.

Wilson as a Tobacco Market- -Editor Advance I am s much pleased to have noticed in your is sue of the 27th, inst-, a most prac tical communication by Mr. L. F. Lucas, looking toward establishing a tooacco market in Wilson. )ar ham, Oxford and Henderson, br fore the era of bright tobacco, wei inconsiueraoie. towns, possessing only a small local trade, were hn id ly known; brit after they were es tablished as tobacco markets, sales, prize houses, 'factories, stores and dwellings were rapidly erected, giving employment to mechanics and laboring people. Trade in creased as tbe towns grew, and now are among the mo4 noted to bacco markets in North Carolina, increasing ia population, prosperi ty and wealth. It is conceded by all who attend tobacco sales in these towns, that tobacco raised in the lower counties is equal, if not superior to that produced in upper counties, hence it is infered, the lands iu the lower country are bet ter adapted to the cnltareof bright tobacco than the original country which first produced it. As an evi dence of this many planters are leaving the original counties and a e settling in the east, with the object of making better tobacco. The fanners must have a home market, their necessities demand it. The expenses of transportation to i the places named in this article, are too great. An eastjru market is a foregone conclusion, and know of no point, more eligible, more central for a tobacco market than Wilson, it has a line back country, 'possesses capital, energy and push. It now remains to be seen whether the business men will avail themselves of this most fa vofable opportunity, or permit some other towj or Ie8u impor tance to grasp the prize. . WiUHhey accept the situation! Wiirthev organize aDd act at once, au) take immediate steps to erect two goo t sales ware houses, priza bouses etc., and prepare to sell tbe crop of tbe eastern counties the next year, 1890. The sooner they establish a tobacco market in Wilsqn, so much tbe bettei for tbe planters and -.ill concerned, thereby saving tbe far mer -in immeuse ixpiuse, giving employment to the poorer people and retaining the mooty amon onr own people. In one year after the market fs established you will nor. know Wilson, an impetus will be given -snch as she has never known in all her history. Yes, I. endorse all Mr. Lu-a has said. Respectfully, Observer. Dec. 3d, 1889. . " ' ' Does Farming Pay ? Of course f armiDg pays in North Carolina if. properly pursued. An energetic, judi cious farmer succeeds .whjle ignorance and laziness sits in the lock of a fence and weeps over its failure. Mr. Henry N. Clark shows what farming can do in a communication in the Raleigh Progressive Far mer, xte- manured highly a few acres and here is what followed : "On the 15th of October I 'planted an orchard, first fal lowing aDd subsoiling, then spread a thin coating of lot manure after the treeB were set. I sowed two bushels of rye, when in February I run over it with a harrow both ways and sowed clover, in the spring I fed two horses on green rye for one month, then the rye went to seed and I har vested 11 bushels of .seed, this clover continued to grow and on July 9th I cut 10 wagon loads or dry hay as mucn as two good horses could- pull at eich load- The clover contin ued to grow, and fearing it might killmy young trees. I fallowed the land again, and after a few days harrowed and cross harrowed it, l-'vd and seeded it in turnips, which were plowed twice, and I har vested 250 bushels, of nice, large turnips, and the tops were fed to my cattle and the land cleared for grain on 15 th of October.", Study that carefully- and likewise. Mark you, rye sailing at $1.10 per bushel, at 1 per hundred, tur ' 30 cents per bushel. 'I -chard is flourishing. iTiii the an objective , lesson' ' worth studying. All over the State' almost in every neighborhood examples of excellent farming can be found. Nineteen years ago a Mr. Dicken, of, Edge combe, made 2t bales of cot ton cn a ne-horse farm'. Mes senger. : ' , Good Farming. Much has been said on sur face manuring, but we cannot wear the subject out any more than we can manure by turning it and making it in a poper con dition for plant-food. 1 started, fifteen years ago on a very poor farm and was told to plow all I could and seed down to grass, sowing rye, but (he crop hadly paid expenses. I then began with' one field at. a time, just what I could properly manure, and. from ' .that management have improved the farm so that now I can keep six times as much stock as when I first took the place, and sell some hay. I regard one load of ma nure, spread n . the surface equal to two loads plowed un der. I cannot hire any help to properly spread manure, neith er can I do it myself, therefore I use a manure spreader. W. D. Halsted, New York. Notice.. Having qualified as adminiatra tor of P. J.
