The lubtcriptioa price o the "Weekly Star ia aa follows : . i Single Copy yesr.postage pud $1 00 " 8 months " - , 60 ' .. 3 months " " SO Have you received a bill for sub scription to the Weekly Star re cently? If S0f s 't correct? If cor rect, why not pay it? Is there a man on earth who can print a newspaper for nothing, and pay the postage be sides? Can a farmer give away his com, and cotton, and wheat, and circkens, and eggs,-and keep out of the poor-house? If so, let us have the recjpe, now. It will be valuable to us DOES FARHI HQ PAY 1 The question "Does farming pay?" has been asked so often in this coun try, North and South, that it has be come a stereotyped one. It depends very much, and almost altogether, on how it is done whether it pays or not. Like any other business It mast be conducted intelligently and with thrift, aud when this is done it will pay. There are men who make it pay while many around them drag along and come out at the end of the year very little better off if not worse than they began it, but these men understand their business and farm instead of making a pretence of farming. We know farmers in this State who have succeeded and be come independent, when scores of others in the same neighborhood with substantially the same kind of 'land have failed, simply because the one farmed right and the other didn't. ,, ' What intelligent culture and thrift will do on the farm is shown by the following statement of the product, gost and. profit of a one-horse farm," for which Col. M. McRae, of Robe son county, was awarded the pre mium at the Border Exposition of the Carolinas, held at Maxton. Oct. 31st and Nov. 1st and 2d: EXHIBIT FOR THE YEAR 1894. 529 bushels corn 80 $423 00 52 " peas.... 80 41 60 " wheat... 1 00 11 50 17 i' rye..... 1 25 21 87 80 oats 60 48 00 6000 pounds fodde... 80 48 00 6 000 " pea vine hav "50 80 00 15 bde cotton (7.500 pounds 5 875 00 450 bush cotton seed 15 67 50 50 bush, potatoes . . 40 30 00 900 pounds pork.... 10 00 00 dairv & poultry. 50 00 115 gallons wine 1 00 115 09 I $1,841 47 EXPENSES.

The secret of the profit will be found, outside of thrifty management, in the diversified crops every one of which added to the in crease and profit Of the worker. If he had confined himself to cotton he could have made no such satisfac tory exhibit as this, however hard he might have worked or well he might have managed. According to the law of the Ashan tees the King shan't have more than 3,333 wivesT These wives have a sireet all to themselves and no man save the King dare look at any of them at the peril of his life, which is forfeited even if be sees one of them by accident. About 75,000 women voted in the recent election in Colorado. Most of them voted against Gov. Waite. They were afraid he might' take a notion some time to ride around in blood up to the bridle bit. That kind of bridal business isn't popular with the women. Li Hung Chang, or the other fel low in China who corralled the Chinese fleet in Port Arthur just in time to let the Japanese squadron close the gate, ought to lose all : his feathers and jackets, toe. Commenting on the statement by Ambassador Bayard that in all bis sojourning in England he had never heard a story that would offend the most delicate ear, the London Globe suggests that this may be due to Mr. Bayard's deafness. . That was a ruthless pick-pocket whom Nashville took advantage of Senator Harris' unsophisticated in nocence and nibbed his gold watch, the only one he had. The fact that 61Q pairs of twins were born in Boston within the past twelve months indicates that the in Cant industry .still flourishes there, in spite of thehard times. r v VOL.

The Welcome Week Executive and sub-committees have resumed work in earnest again after the election and are daily adding new attractions. The Morris Museum has decided to come during that week. The foot ball team is making rapid progress and will be able to give the A. & M.'s of Raleigh a bard tussle. Mr. Samuel J. Springer, who is in charge of the foot races, says several ap plications to enter have been made and some good races will be had. Numbers of bicyclists are having their decorations made for the bicycle parade and others have gone in training. The Gun Shoot Committee are in cor respondence with several clubs in this State and outside. Some have already made arrangements to come with large teams. The bands are also getting in good shape. Mr. Pembroke Jone. Information reaches us that Mr. Pem broke Jones, of this city, has been appointed President of the National Rice Milling Company at New Orleans. This occasions us more regret than sur prise regret because we lose one of our most capable and popular citizens. It is certainly no surprise, as this gentle man has a way of going to the topmost round of any business ladder upon which he sets his energetic toot, Mr. Jones has a direct, open-handed manner of doing business, which soon convinces those with whom be is asso ciated, or with whom he has transac tions. that only honest methods will be tolerated, and that every obligation assumed by him will be fully, faithfully and promptly discharged. We confi dently predict that be will win the respect, confidence and esteem of the ousiness men of New Orleans, and re tain it worthily. In this prediction, we are joined by our entire community who appreciate capability and' honesty of purpose. Mr. Jones enters no new field so far as the character of business is concerned, j His experience with mer cbantable rice and the modes ot con verting the rough article into such style has been both extensive and practical Our social' world loses a prominent figure by the change Of residence ren dered necessary by this promotion of Mr. Jones. I Urbanity and native refine ment have come to him as a natural in heritance through many generations, Few men in this good old State are more widely and favorably known. We wish him all prosperity and happiness in his new borne, and in common with a large circle of admirers will always welcome him in the old. Brig Biohtrd T. Green Wrecked.

':! . . .'ir- j.J The Charlotte Observer says of Sen ator Ransom: ;; ''-j i , i "It looks I as if our Old ; Man here an the State would have to pull his cuffs down in Northampton hereafter. He can stand it if North Carolina can. He is the biggest farmer in the State, and politics has lost him a great deal more than he has made out of it. We violate confidence in saying it, but we are going to say, all the same, that he put the pro ceeds of the sale of 200 bales of five-cent cotton in the hands of Chairman Poufor the prosecution of the late campaign, and went down: in his clothes for cash be sides for campaign purposes, in addi tion to paying all the expenses' of his own - canvass. More than half of the State money that Chairman Pou had was given him by Senator Ransonv out of his own pocket. It is too late, we ap prehend, to save his Senatorial seat, but it is not too late, we hope, to do this modest and much-maligned North Caro linian justice." i The Btranse-J'renob. Contest. On its face, it would be difficult to de termine the; meaning of the decision of the Board of Canvassers, printed else where, so far as the case of Mr. French is concerned; but it is supposed, from statements made by some of the mem bers, that they were divided on the ques tion of Mr. French's eligibility, but that a majority thought that question ought to be determined by the Legislature. The law requires the Board of Can vassers to decide who is legally elected to each office, to sign the returns, and to proclaim the result at the Court House door; and the outcome will probably be that a majority of the Board will to day declare Mr. French legally elected.while a minority will refuse to concur in this ac tion and will sign a protest to be for warded to Raleigh. At least, this is the clearest statement of the situation that the Star can give under the circum stances, and is based on statements made by members of the Board. Funeral of the Late Haj. James Be illy. The funeral of the late Maj. James Reilly took place yesterday in this city from! the residence of his son-in-law. Maj. D. O'Connor. . The remains were thence taken to St. Thomas' Church. where solemn- requiem high mass was celebrated by Rev. Father Dennen. At the close of the services at the church the remains were taken to Oak- dale Cemetery, followed by the Hiber nian Benevolent Society and Cape Fear Camp Confederate veterans, and a cor tege .of sorrowing relatives and friends. The pall-bearers were: Honorary Hon. O. P. Meares, Hon. A. M.Waddell, Col. E. D. Hall and Col. John D. Tay lor.. Active Col. T. C Mcllhenny. Col. F. W. Kerchner, Col. John L. Cantwell, Mr. E. S.

It is not likely that the cotton crop will be so large as Mr. Neil pre dicts; but if it is, it will be a bad thing for the Pop-Replican party, as it would convert five-cent cotton into four-cent cotton, and thus spoil all their claims of better times under their benignant rule. BOARD OF CANVASSERS Meet at the Court House and Proclaim the Eleetion. of Candida tea One of the Mem ber of the Board Protested Againat the Declaration. At 10.80 yesterday morning Chairman Harriss called the Board to order. Mr. Tbos. Lawther said : "I move, sir, that no further discussion be allowed by counsel on either side, and that this Board do now instruct its chairman to sign the returns of election." All except Messis. Potter and Fergus voted in the affirmative. Chairman Harriss proceeded to sign the returns, and after they were signed the Board repaired to the Court House door to proclaim the election of the can didates as shown by the returns. Mr. Potter said before leaving the court room, "I desire to ,make protest against the declaration," and he asked Mr. Bellamy to draw up the protest for him. Upon the return of the Board to the courtroom Chairman Harriss said: 'Gen tlemen of the Board While our duties have been arduous and almost unceas ing for the past forty-eight hours. I be lieve that every member of the Board has acted according to the dictates of his conscience and to his interpretations 61 the law, after having heard eminent counsel. Before adjournment I desire to thank the Board for their uniform courtesy and for the honor paid me in electing me your Chairman." On motion of Mr. Gerret Walker, a vote of thanks was unanimously tendered Mr. Harriss for the very efficient man ner in which he had presided over the deliberations of the Board, and it ad journed sine die.

Mariooro, unestemeia. Darling ton, Florence and Horry icounties, and never before have I seen te cotton crop so nearly harvested at thist season of the year. I talked with a number of farmers In these counties and the consensus of opinion was that 90 per cent, of the crop had been gathered, and that it had been sold as fast as ginned. - 1 One of the largest buyers at Bennetts- ville said that he bad never seen the farmers bold so little cottoa as they were holding this season, and that he believed that 85 per cent, of the Marlboro crop had been sold by November 1. An old farmer said to me that he: had never seen : the crop open so early nor labor more satisfactory in gathering it. One of the largest and most successful plan ters in the Little Rock sectibn sold about half. of this year's crop befdre the price got below six cents. TheTSe facts are given in support of the adviSce you gave the farmers some time ago to hold their cotton. The farmer who sells cotton at prevailing prices, unless forced to do so to meet his obligations, is throwing away his money. 1 Baleigh and Augusta, Air Tju$e, The annual meeting of the stockhold ers of the Raleigh & Gaston Railroad was held at the office of thf company in Raleigh Thursday.

SpecialStar Correspondence Fayetteville. N. C, Nov. 10. The result of the election in Cumber land county has been declared, and with shame-facedness the Democrats cor jess their defeat. The causes are variously conjectured, but your correspondent, in his humble opinion, would say that the same cause ot our defeat in former years underlies the result of this year, viz: the indifference of Democrats. Hun dreds of Democrats a sufficient num ber to have elected the general ticket in Cumberland county stayed away from the polls. The reporters from every township in the county have reported a number of derelicts; and even in the town of Fayetteville, men professing to be Democrats either remained away from the polls or voted a mixed ticket some anti-Cleveland prohibitionists, some men, some anti- University appropriation men in deed, a large number for frivolous causes,. failed to add their vote and influence to the party. Shame on such men! The result shows: I Shaw. Democrat, for Congress, 2.025 Thompson, Populist, for Congress, 1,199 Spears, Republican " 1.862 Plurality for bbaw, 820.

Yet while our ticket is defeated the rank and file are not cast down, and we will pick our flints and try em again two years from now. The Republicans will then "go it alone and the Pops will be left.
