We are in receipt of the" annual re port of the Bureau of Labor Statistics of this State, which contains letters from farmers in all the counties giv ing the condition of agriculture. The letters present a variety of opinions as to whether farming pajs or not, with suggestions as to what is is needed to bring about au improved state of affairs. We make a few extracts from cor respondents for the benefit of our readers: An Alamance correrpondent says: "If the Department of Agriculture can induee the farmers to change and diversify their crops, it will do more good than all the sub-Treasury bills Congress can Dass Ashe oouirty writer sayst "100 (much drinking carried on in this county." Burke county writer says: 'A armer can succeed only by a close application to his profession as such." Bertie county writer says: 'bmall jfarmers who own land are living well, and many handling money. The poor wmte men wno nave always done their own work, are living more abundantly and more comfortably by far than they did in the anti-war mmes. borne negroes are saving money: One has saved 10,000." Cumberland county writer says: I don't think an increase in the cir- calating mtdinm would be any disad vantage to the farmer. Clevelana county writer says: " e cry hard times when we make them ,'aard by our bad management." Clay county writer says: "I make 1 compost in winter and save all Mm two barns, and generally I have enough to go over all the lands I cultivate." Chatham countv writer says: "The mortgage system, I believe, has more p do with makiDg b?rd times than sny other one thing." Caswell county writer sayh: "I -ear a great deal of complaint, but I tu of the opinion that it comes from We need work pd improvement more than we need legislation or the sub-treasury bill. Davidson county writer says: "I ink the trouble lies in our financial rstem. Ecgecombe county writer savs: 'Abolish the odious free . school tax renew the whipping post." Haywood county writer says: Education is on a boom: farmers are dependent: all who have not paid keir taxes have money ou hand. Iredell county writer says: 4,I ;Mnk farming will pay if conducted 'ronerlv. T do not beloncr to the 1 o armera' Alliance. I buy for cash pberever my money will go the farth- s and when I have not the money, anatre to act aloner till I eet it. o a o Pave npror Htcrnnfl a m nrt.tr nir a nr f'ven one for anything." i'lacon county writer says: "We eed roads upon which we can move." Hecilenburg writer says: "Farm- have bten taught to pynent too 0 i Qcn from legislation alone as a re medial factor to independence." "I eHeve there is as much money, and Pre freedem and independence, ia ;niHngr than anv other avocation . Montgomery county farmer says: the Government would furnish AND UP. complete line of fancy groceries. the farmers with money at three or four percent, they could work out of debt." Nash county writer says the trouble is "corruption of the peoplo in each neighborhood." He thinks the free school system should be abolished. Orange county writer says: 4 'The condition of agriculture in my sec tion is more hopeful thau it has been in the past. ' Let us do a part of our legislating at home in our corn, wheat, oats and other fields, and be sure to stop the holes in the hog trough." Person county writer eays: rBe- fore the American Tobacco Trust was organized we got much better prices, as we raise the bright tobacco in this section, but now the price is just half. Farmers are gloomy and making no money." Randolph county writer says: 'One.qf the great evils is, farmers have no regular time to begin or quit rwork. We need a system of regular hours to begin and regular hours to leave off. Let the day be ten or eight hours: have some regularity about it. Laboring people do not value time as they should. None of them put in more than half the time, except in busy crop time." Transylvania writer says: "Give us more money and brains to develop this country and it would be the gar den spot sought for from ill over the world." Another writer says all we lack is "education and railroads." Union county writer says: "The condition of the wage-hand and tenant is very bad in this country. The wage-hand is better off than the tenant. They do not work enough to make good crops." Wake county writer says: "I think there ougbt to be mere money per capitr." Warren county writer says: "Dis pense with the negro and cotton in a great measure, and go to work our selves. Do away with greenbacks and return to State banks of issue; monetize silver as soon as possible, and raise all we need at home, includ ing hon-es and mules." Another writer says the trouble is too much "Manipulated guano." Watauga writer says the trouble is the McKinley law. Wayne county writre says: "We should reduce the number of dogs." Yancey county writer says: "We need more home-made fertilizer; more 'elbow grease' If we had these our corn-crib would not be in Kansas and our smoke-houses in Cincinnati and Chicago. We are devoting too much of our time to tobacco and cotton and not enough to hog and hominy; hence, the mortgage system. Take down the MoKinley bill. Modify the tariff and reduce the revenue, aud do as a nation as we would have all men to do unto u., and all will be well. It is to be hoped that the Farmers' Al liance will accomplish something, though I can't see it in the sub treasury bill."

For the Mecklenburg Tlmes.J Sir: The issue of the "Mecklen burg Times" of May 27th contains an article from one J. S. Reid, ex-Senator and ex-postmaster, in reply to my article. He says that the article should re ceive slight notice as every utterance carries with it great weight, at least a hundred and fifty or sixty pounds avoidupois. Now if I wished to as certain the weight of the ex-postmaster or his able article I would place bim in one of the balances and om grain Troy in the othir end where he would be found wanting, or his mental capacity might be placed in the inside of . a to b icco seed shell where it might travel for twenty years and never cross its track. Now Mr Editor, he says as for . the wilful lie about my Third partyism for himself he hurls back in my face for the author ot the state ment with scorn and supreme con tempt. I hurl it back at him with as much scorn and supreme contempt that he or anyone else that makes such statements about me arc the au thor of them. Tbe ex-postmaster says he did make 4 'prohibition speech es" but says when I said he turned his back on the cause I simply lied wilfully and maliciously. Now Mr Editor the action of the ex-postmaster speaks louder than words: I will ask him if he has ever been heard to raise his voice against the whiskey tiafSc in his own town. As to his Redstringism be denies the charge and says it was the Union League. Be that as it may I have it from as good men as there is in the county that he attended a Rcdstring meeting, and when the roll was called, Postmaster Iteid's name was on the list. But he can have it to suit himself aojl call it the Union League. Now Mr. Ex we would like to ask you if you did not initiate your cousin into your League, if so, you must have been the Boss Dog of the concern and was therefore Fraternally with the Carpet Bagger. The Union League, the Carpet Bag gers aud the Canby Constitution all being contemporary you of course was a prime factor in that Constitution one of the most corrupt, detestable, and diabolical acts of legislation that ever darkened any page of North Car olina History. You of course were not included in the twenty thousand disfranchised citiaens, the best in the State but the Union Leagae members, the Carpet Baggers, and the Freed men constituted one political frater nity. Fine record for the would-be Senator of Meckleuburg county. We would say to the Union League man that we will havt a mooting at the Grange Hall first Saturday in July at 1 o'clock p. m. Put on your Union League badge, come out and tell us some of the good times you had with Gen. Canby. You say you are on record voting for a bill prohibiting secret political societies. Previous to: that you belonged to the Union League since then you were a charter member of tbe first Alliance (and sec of the same) that you could get the chance of. Very consistent man in deed. Now Mr. Editor I would like to ask the wise man Solomon, the prohibition speaker, the Union League man that denounced Redstringism from one end of the county to the other if he did not sUxnl between his neighbors and one Mr. Styrons reco mmending and selling that damnable compound that robbed them out of hundreds of dollars by the use of it. I will ask him if when they came to him for help in the matter if he did not tell them that they had given their notes and tho way to get out was to pay them up. I will ask him if wheu they sued Mr. Noles if he did not say on the stand that he had never raised as good a crop of Irisn potatoes in his life as he did from the use of Styrons oorapound. And on cross-examination say he had used enough of other manure to have made a good crop without the aid of of Mr. Styrons compound. The ex-Senator says he would not have noticed my squib at such length had it not been for the little prominence I gained by the position the Alliance gave me without much thought. I will just say to the chronic office seeker that the Alliance does not do busi ness in that way, or he might have been filling some prominent office in the order as it is he can step aside. As to his fable of the jackass, we do not know what kind of a skin the ex Senator wore in 1S90 but will say the ears and the braying of the cx-Sena-tor defeated him in the race for the Senate. The people saw Lis ears and heard his braying and was scared. J. W. PniLLiPS. " " " i - GOYERXMESXAIDfxU WORLD'S The Colombian Half Dollars to be Coined with Devlcerfto be Stamped, Washington, D. C, June 17th, 1892. The House committee on the IForld's Fair today submitted its bill making an appropriation to aid the W.orld'8 Columbian Exposition' and authorized Mr. Durborow to report it favorably to the House. The bill provides that there shall be coined at the mints of the United States silver half dollars of the legal weight and fineness not exceeding ten million piecys, to be known as the Columbian; half dollar, the devices snd designarr which shall be pre scribed by tbfe director of the mint, tbe coins to be manufactured from un current subsidiary silver coins now in the treasury. Before the Secretary of the Treas ury fihall pay the coins to the exposi tion satisfactory evidence is to be fur nished, showing that at least $10, 000,000 has been collected aud dis bursed Nby the local corporation. The bill also provides for the cast ing of fifty thousand bronze medals with appropriate devices, emblems and inscriptions', commemorative of the exposition and celebrating the discovery of America. They are to be prepared under- the the supervis ion of the Secretary of the Treasury at a cost not toexceed $ti0,000. Richmond & Danville in the Hands of a Receiver. Keirs and Observer. The United States Circuit court having appointed receivers of the Richmond & Danville Railroad, the affairs of the entire system havt been placed in the hands of Capt. W. H. Green, manager uader the receivers- This is a high compliment to Capt. Green, who, we believe is a Johnston county man, and whose steady rise in railroad business is much to his credit and a high evidence of his capacity and ability. We yesterday received ' a copy of his circular li tter, dated June 16th, announcing tht he is to manage the affairs of the system under the receiv ers. W'hile the effect of this order is to take the line out of the control of the directory, yet we suppose that those officers who have heretofore had active duties to perform will be em ployed as hitherto. All agents, con ductors, &c, will necessarily be con tinued as usual. For months there have been efforts made to recognize the R. & D. sys tem, but the various plans appear to have fallen through, and as a result that great system has been takeu pos session of by the courts. While we know but little about such matters, we assume that the trouble comes from the fact that the road did not earn enough to pay its expenses. There are some seven thousand miles of line involved, and the traffic, both freight and passenger, must be immense. Probably the rates were put too low. If that is the case the circuit court may direct the receivers to ad vance the rates, for the court cannot let the property run further into debt unneccessarily The court must pro tect the property it has taken posses sion of and soe that as long as it is not increased without good cause. If the road cannot pay expenses at ex isting rate?, the court will probably order an increase in them so as to bring the receipts up to the necessary expenses. The U. W. Childs Heirer a Grand mother. Bicghamptou Republican. When Mrs. Cleveland was queen of the White House George W. Childs, the Philadelphia editor and philanthropist, presented her with a beautiful Jersey heifer. When the heifer had a calf it was presented to President Roberts of the Pennsyl vania Railroad, who christened it Frangcs Cleveland. Now there is a granddaughter of the Childs heifer, which has been christened Ruth Cleveland. Third Party in Alamance. From the Gleaner. About one-third of the forty have heretofore been Republicans, four of whieh have been before the people of Alamance asking to be elected to publio office; and there were also two defeated prohibition candidates in the meeting.

Huntersville Letter. For the Mecklenburg Time?. Abundant rains have visited th:s section, beginning last Saturday even ing. Crops are looking fine, being in fine tin i ii i i uwuuiuuu. ueat is wen uign nar vested and was never better. Mr. L. C McKay will make 60 or more bushels off hi3 lots not; more than three acres in all The oat crp is magnificent. Tho outlook for an abundant crop is cheer ing to one and all and since the hard year just passing has taught every one economy, our people will be more fru gal in the future than ever before, no one but the farmer knows the full meaning of hard times. He is fon dled if successful, but abused and ki-jked if he fails to make ends meets, laziness laziness being assigned as the cause of failure and over production the cause of low prices. Ah me! who cm blame him for seeking relief from his burden's and, even, if he, in his eagerness to get relief makes mistakes he ought to be sympathized with and not abused by those too who know no more of the trials disappointments and difficulties of the farmer than the "man in the moon." The political sea is quiet and serene in these parts, all are too buy attend ing to business to stop to discuss politics. Many have come and gone withiu the last week and our town has put on her usual quiet appearance at this season. A great gloom hangs over the town to-day caused by the very sudden death of Mrs Reoecca Hunter wife of R. B. Hunter. The sympathy of the whole community goes out to the bereaved husband and children and relatives, as was attested by the large concourse who gathered this evening to pay the last duty of love and respect at the A. R. P., church of which she was a couai.stant honond member. May the Lord help the sorrowing in their distress and comfort them as he alone can comfart. Mrs. Bauna Alexander is quite sick at this time and has been for nearly a week. Mr. Milas Ochler has has a child very sick with cholera infantum. The general health of the communi ty is very good. We expected to take in the ceremo nies of Baryum Springs today, but in disposition prevented. Great quantities of potatoes are be ing set out and next year bids fair to be one of great plenty as this is - of great scarcity. R. W. D. The Richmond k Danville. Kalelgli Chronicle. It is understood that the embarrass ment of the Richmond & Danville railroad system was. mainly caused by investments that did not turn out well,' and not by low freights as some have supposed. So far as North Car olina is concerned, the freight charges of the R. & D. were somewhat lower than the charges of the other leading roads in the State, and, when our railroad commis stoners were arranging freight rates, those other roads were required to conform more to the price, established by the Richmond & Danville, before there was a Railroad Commission in the Satte. The partially reduced charges by other roads have not em barrassed them, and hence there is no force in the view that tbe Richmond & Danville has been crippled by a le duction of freight charges. lie have no indication that a receiver is likely to be asked for by any of our other roads. A. and M. College. Raleigh Cor. Charlotte Observer. The board of trustees of the Agri cultural and Mechanical College have just purchased thirteen and a half acres of land immediately west of and adjoining the property. They decided to enlarge the agricultural work greatly and will next year have a farm which will be a model. It was ordered that the president of the col lege or the professors should make trips here and there in the State and speak and work in the interest of the college. All the interests of the latter are to be pushed. In conversa tion several ot the directors exprefsei their appreciation of the college work. Tbe institution grows in popularity. Aeronant Falls. Mt.

Wadesboro Messenger. During the progress of the meeting Mr. E. W. Flake was' called for and made a speech in which he swallowed the St, Louis platform u hole, pen sion back grab and all. Mr. Flake is remarkably prolific of statistics, and is loaded to the muzzle with facts and figures from the Alliance hand book, but the most enjoyable part of his speech was that part iu which he told how the 400,000,000 which the Third party proposes to give the yankee soldiers shall be paid. After hearing Mr. Flake s speech we are only surprised that his brilliant, though simple plan, had not occurred to us before; but then we all live to learn. Mr. Flake would settle that vexed question ir this way: He would put tbe huge government printing presses to work, and it would only be a question of a few hours be fore the crisp, new bills, which are to bring joy to the yankee soldier's heart were printed. Mind you, the poor, ragged Confederate soldier has no part nor lot in the millenium to be brought about by the Third party. The Colored A. & M. College. News and Observer. The trustees of the A. & M. Col lege, at a meeting at Greensboro, have elected Prof. C. H. Moore as vice-president, at a salary of $900 a year.

The buildings are to be of brick, the main one to be four stories, with an observatory. The site selected is the highest around Greensbore, and can be seen from al most any point.
