ore displaying tHat the Executive
Committee should call ft meeting
"at an early ! day and take some
steps to organize! and prepare for
the political battle of 1SSS. We
are glad to see th jit our suggestion
have been njiproved and will be
acted on. We have' seen several
of thj Committee and received
letters from'" others and they all
concur with j ua that organization
isvery much needed and suggest
that a nwdug 'of the Committee
and all good democrats interested
in the party's succebs, be held
Tuesday of the first wetk of Court.
We hope the meeting will be large

begun by a thorough awakening

ave'eiperitiicinled to find whether'
here is noji a jbetu-r plan. Many
t( our ideas ibavc been" received
Tll
from Northern farmers and writers,
where the conditions of climate are
quite the reverse of .those existing
in the South. If the plowing is
not done in Northern States before
October it cannot be done until af
ter the first of May, as the land is
covered with snow or bound fast
with- ice.
The Northern farmer 'often
breaks his sod land in September,
and either sows wheat or expects
the freezing and thawing weather
of October to pulverize and to pre
pare the land to receive the annua'
covering of snow, and with it a
supply of ammonia,- which the
Southern farmer roust buy in com
mercial fertilizers or obtain by
growing a green crop for manure.
In the South the conditions are
quite different. September is a
hot month, October is frequently
almost as warm. Drying winds
sweep the bare fields; winter rains
wash the corn and cotton lands in
to gullies, and all the elements
seem to conspire to rob the soil of
nitrogen.
How can this great loss be pre
vented? Cannot the farmer, to
some extent at least, cover his
land with manuring, crops which
will shade and protect the land
from sun, wind and washing rain
until he h seady to plaint the spring
crop? .
This covering after serving the
furpose of shading the land for sev
era! months, and in that Way im
proving the condition of the soil,
will-bs equal in value, when turns
ed under, to many wagon loads of
manure. Geo. Allen, kewLcmc.

Special Course at ihc Uni
versity. -
The University is desirous of
helping the teachers of the State,
ami to this end will offer a special

other roads of the State vvill do
the same. If the session i3 held it
will b-gin either Nov. loth, 18S7
or Feb. 14th, iSSS. Teachers

preferred. Act at ,ouce. There's
ao time for delay.

circular will justify.

There, is nothing a farmer can
do that will pay a hansomer prof
it than keeping a tjand and C3rt
from the first day in the year to the
last day hauling pine straw, oak
leaves, trash, wood mould, swamp
muck, rotten log and stumps end
the dirt, from around the same in
his fields, and cOvv pens, hog lots
and horse lots You can make
two acres of wo-n out lands' good
in this way cheaper than you can
clear one acre mid get it ready for
seed One hand, borne and cart
can cover twenty five acres with!
dirt besides keeping your lot all
well strawed. And twenty live
acres are as much if not more than
one hand will grub ia one year to
say nothing about cutting it down
and clearing it oiT ready for grub
bing, and cleaning it up after
grubbing: And when we bring
our old exhausted lands up in this
way, you see its value .is so much
capital added to our wealth, and
we still have our woodlands undis
turbed. And besides this reclaim
ed and redeemed land is so much
easier both on man and beast to
cultivate, and you can cultivate so
n:uh more without breaking
plows, stumping toes and some
times, losing your sweet temper.
Now, if you have never tried this
plan -of bringing up old exhausted
tatids try it. You h ve no idea

Amid ail the wide-spread and
deep-seated demoralization that
followed the civil war and the
mighty upheaval of our social sys-l
tern, accompanied by a revolution
in our industrial afiaire; amid all
that there is now to discourage us
(and there is a great deal),there is
one thing that gives hope, for it
shows that amid it all the chivalary
and manhood of the southern peo
ple, though to some extent necessa
rily weakened by the great demor
alizing agencies brought to bear
against them, have never been de3
troyedi We admit that there is
much among our people, that is
practiced every day to causa us
deep regrets, but we need never to
find a people who are perfect in
thought, feeling and action.
Such a peopie never have been
found, never will be found. When
we compare the type of manhood
the standard of morality of sou th
em people, with others, we feel
that we have cause for sincere self
congratulation In nothing is this
more conspicuous than in the chiv
alric devotion to woman manifested
by our people- Gokhboro Head-
The wisest of the northern
manufacturers are rapidly coming
to the conclusion that they, witli
tho whole country, would be better
off with a lower tariff than a high
one and many Southern protec
tionists are willing to concede as
much If this be true, as it ia,
that we can compete with the
North then we most assurcly need
no high tariff" to insure the devel
opment of southern manufactures
But there is still another reason,
and a special one, why the South,
looking exclusively at her own in
terests, should desire a modifica
tion of the tarff. It is conceded on
all hands that no where on earth
can the raw rn-aterials be produced
so cheapJy a3 at the South, and
the North is able to compete with
us only by reason of greater capi
tal and superior skill If, then, a
modification of the tariff should,
as is claimed by the protectionists,
cripple the manufactures of thu
North, is it not plain that thier cap
ital aod skill, combined with our
cheap raw material and labor,
would give us the superiority over
the rest of the world, and that
the Northern maoutactgrers
would be forced to come to the
South Shtlby New Era
.
California is now in the midst of
a most wonderful real estate cr ze
The whole State is affected with
the fever and speculation has run
mad. Farming lands are selling
at $2C0 per acre and town lots are
daily changing owners for consid
erations away up in the thousands.
A gentleman bought a piece of
property at Los Angelos two years
ago for SI 1,000 and several months
ago sbld it for $75,000. Now he
is aimjosi on tho verge of suicide
becaufeo his purchasers havo re
sold, it at a proflit of Sl5,000.
If the craze continues much longer
at the present rate the whole State
will soon be cut up into sicall
town lots. Real estate agents are
running excursions over from New
York and Boston and speculators
are pouring in on almost every
train. The incidents of this remar
kable real estate craz j are some
times very odd. An impecunious
San Franciscoan came to Los Au
gelos in tho hope that something
would turn up for him and made
$1,700 in three weeks by getting
up early in the morning, or staying
up all night to secura the place in
the long line of buyers at some
real estate sale and selling out Lis
chances. An Eastern visitor sur -
i veye-d the wondrous scene, went in
and made the cost of his and his
family's excursion to the Pacific
aadt$I5,000 besides in a few weeks.
