Fkipay, April 13, 1888. out rniMAKir, Everv one now is as busv as a bee. The farmer is pushing things for a realization of a full crop in the com ing fall ; the mechanic, in this pleas ant weather, has with renewed ener irv cone to work in downright earn .?t, and the merchant is busv with his spring stock. In no former year lias there been such a general boom over the whole country as in these i ;u ly days of 1SS8. The very marked prosperity among all classes during t!ie past year seems to have instilled iu;o each one increased zeal and Lut while we are all this laudable work of engagemnif trying to make something more than a living1 ui the plow, the forge, the bench, or I vliind the counter, let us not for a moment forget that we owe a duty to our county, State and nation in t .c coming campaign. The primary meetings for each township in our t-unity are called for May 12th, and in order to insure perfect harmony i:: our county and State conventions, , , , . j.

Ihehirdmess congressional ui"' !"miUm! uu 1:115 uetion should be corrected at once in these full attended primary meet ings, not only in our own county but nil over the State, by resolutions in dicative of the will of the people, ar.d each delegate should be so in-,-tructed that the action of these meetings should be faithfully carried oi;t. In this manner we verily be lieve that all discord and disagree ment will be done away with and the honest opinions of the people, who alone should rule, will be lis tened to. Being a home people, and the farming element being in the majority, it is nothing more than right that the office-seeker should voice the will and sentiment of this majority. Beginning at the begin ning (these township primaries) let us demand that the shibboleth of each seeker after office shall be reve nue repeal and tariff reduction, not mere twaddle, but action, and per haps in the near future that old " supplementary beatitude," " Bless ed are the poor taxpayers, for they fdiall have a flannel petticoat," will be verified. VISA IUt I S AM) STAM.Y RAILROAD The active work being dene in the interest of this much needed road is indeed gratifying to the many friends of the enterprise. There is no earthly excuse why the road should not be built. It can be, and everything de mands it. The condition of the people and their business along the proposed route are making a loud demand. Stanly county, we believe, will do more than her part and is ready to do it. Let us hear from Eastern Cabarrus. Would not a mass-meeting of the people of Stanly and Cabarrus at some convenient point be in order ? What sav vou 'i THE 4UREAT EIREE KCIT. The exciting libel suit brought against the editor of the Wadesboro Intelligencer by J. L. Stone, of Ra leigh, w as ended at a late hour Sat urday night. Stone, though a dealer i n organs and other musical instru ments, departed from his regular business line to such an extent as to include the sale of cotton seed. Through his agents he was selling cotton seed which he called "Zephyr." Mr. Hearne, through the columns of his paper, gave some good advice to the farmers, for which suit was in stituted against him. The court sustained the editor. We congratu late Brother II. in his efforts in be- h-'if of the backbone of his county, THE FIT I' BE LOXDOX. The Charlotte Chronicle is a pro gressive journal. It is spreading itself in the building up of Char lotte, and in almost every issue it is reminding its readers of the many, very many, advantages which she enjoys over and above other South ern "towns.'' Among other things Tuesday's Chronicle says: " Few of our Southern cities can present such an array of fascinating features to those who are casting about for a suitable Southern home and a field of enterprise and safe in vestment of capital." "We are not envious of Charlotte's glorious future, but we fear that we will be terribly " left " uuless some thing is done in our behalf. No one for a moment doubts that Charlotte is the centre of the universe and is ra pidly extending her influence abroad. Will not the Hornet's Nest the birthplace of American liberty in compassion and charity extend her wings enough to take in the neigh boring towns of Monroe, Gaston, Statesville. &c? Can the Chronicle t ul turu out iu tne coj Mecklenburg's infant child, Cabar rus ? Let us see ! t'AXXINtt FACTORY.' Has Concord all the factories she wants and needs? Is it necessary that our factories be for one line of work only ? Of course not. There are other factories needed, the cost I of which would not be beyond the reach of our voting men. Are there . . . not a number of voting men in Lon- , , ; .. cord who would be willing to invest a small amount in a canning factory : Besides a good investment for them it would open a wav for man v of our ' gardeners and fruit-growers to profit- j ably dispose of the products of their j i i , i i , ti. . , c " . , .1V mated cost incident to the building , , . . , . . aiu eipnpping of such a factory is about nine hundred dollars.

For Whom and on What We Khali Vote. On the Tuesday next after the first Monday in November the people of North Carolina will vote for Electors of President and Vice-President of the United States; State executive officers; three Associate Justices of the Supreme Court; Beprcsentatives in Congress ; county officers, except clerks of the Supe rior Courts ; constables, and on an amendment to the Constitution in creasing the number of Supreme Court Judges to five. There are to be eight ballot-boxes, into which bal lots will be deposited as follows: 1. Eleven Electors of President and Vice-President. 2. CJovernor, Lieutenant-Governor, Secretary of State, Auditor, Treasu rer, Attorney-General and Superin tendent of Public Instruction. 3. Associate Justice of Supreme Court to till vacancy caused by death, and two Associate Justices of Supreme Court to fill original va cancies. 4. Bepresentatives in the Fifty first Congress in each of the nine Congressional districts. 5. Register of Deeds, Coroner, Treasurer, Surveyor and Sheriff, in each county. 6. Constable in each township. 7. Amendment to the Constitution relative to the Supreme Court. 8. Members of the General As sembly.

The chairmen of the State committees of the two political par ties will agree upon the formula for this distiucrion. That clause in the Federal Consti tution which says that ''Congress shall have power to lay and collect taxes, duties, imports and exercises to pay the debts and provide for the common defence and general welfare of the United States," which has long been the basis for the division of political parties, is now invoked by Congressman Oaten and others in their opposition to the bill known as the Direct-tax bill, which provides for refunding tax- collected Home twenty-live -ur ;.

Editors Standard : In your last week's issue we were raised iu ecstacy by your editorial entitled, Now She Belongs to the Union." We thought how nice it would be in the c oming campaign to have no more of that old rotten "bloody shirt" Haunted before our eyes, now that we had risen to a place among the States and could boast also of our "gentle men of elegant leisure " sojourning in Canada ; but, alas ! I fear it will be all the worse for us, since $24,714 i seems to be the amount of the steal, and they are breaking down and cry ing about it already. Did you ever hear of Colfax, Ames, etc., crying about "Credit Mobilier"? Did any body ever know J. G. Blaine to ever sigh about 329 ? Or did he ever pull down his cap while "casting an an chor to windward " ? Do you sup pose John Sherman ever sniffs and slings from his nose about getting rich on a congressman's salary ? Nav, we have fallen so far short in this little venture that we have merited and will doubtless meet the scorn and contempt of those who know how to " do up a job." So we may look out for a very cyclone of vituperation next fall from Foraker, Ingalls, Sherman, Blaine and others of like "grand moral ideas." Verily Cross and White won't do. Sol. The Mouth's Corn Crop of 1S7. In 18S7 the South made a larger corn crop than ever before. For tunate as this would be under any circumstances, observes the Manu facturer's Record of Baltimore, "it was exceedingly fortunate in view of the extremely short crop in the West and the consequent high prices. The increase in the South'slSST corn crop over that of 1S3G will keep at least $30,000,000 in that section that would otherwise have gone West. As the planting season returns it be comes of great importancethat South- ern farmers should be urged to plant more laigely than ever of corn. Be- foie another crop is raised the West "be ast bare .o crn auJf tuan an unusually heavy crop lor wi .. -nuM bp ;i m-it- tne nu,e couuuj ouiu ue so gieat- ly needed to supply the dcheiency of 1 887 and to meet current wants that prices would still continue high, i 1 i 1 i i t . even ii me yieia oe very large, n is very important, therefore, not only for the good of the South in general, I'll 1 1 X i but especially for the good of the farmers that tl ley would again raise iar.e crop. The South ought to do even better in this line than last year, the Southern farmers will make a serious mistake if thoy do ! not plant for a large crop of corn and also of oats. We believe that everj paper iu the South would do well to urge this matter upon its readers." KIM WORDS FOR Till: STANDARD. What our Exhang;e Say About I'm.

The best wishes of an old typographical comrade of the Cross part of the Standard for the fullest measure of success for that really excellent paper and its enter prising proprietors. Charlotte Ob server. The Concord Standard, which made its appearance simultaneously with the Clipper, and attracted at tention and comment on all sides for its decidedly neat get up, has so prospered that it has discarded its old and donned a new suit of type out and out. This speaks well for the enterprise of the Standard, and shows that its people have taken a leal interest iD its welfare. The peo ple of that section do well to en courage this !paper, for it is one of which they may justly be proud. Hickory Clipper. II vmiornoBiA A young man strug gling violently, as it is believed un der the influence of hydrophobia, was found in the Bowery at New York the other night. After a des. perate struggle he was taken to a gtation-housc, snapping his teeth like a dog on the way. He there fiercely ground his teeth into the sides of the cup full of water which was handed him. An officer said he recognized him as Emile Linker, who had been bitten in the lej by a dog about four years ago. He had since had several fits resembling hydrophobia, and had been able to do but little work. He was put in a straight-jacket and taken to St. Vin cent's Hospital, STATE SEWS. Cumberland county is said to be solid for J. C. McEae, for Associate Justice. Editor Hearne has been in the cotton seed crushing business. The variety crushed was the "Zephyr,' and the implement used was a Stone. Mr. W. A, Brit ton, of Asheville, has established a henery in that town. It cost about 2,000 and is fitted up handsomely, Such in dustries make a town. The Asheville Sun says Reuben McBrayer and William A. Graham are in the lead for the congressional nomination in the Eighth district, and that Cob Cowles seems to have but little showing. The saving bank of Greensboro, was found upon examination by the directors on Wednesday to have doubled its deposits in three months This fact shows the bank has the confidence of the people and argues that it is doing useful work. While going home Saturday from here, Mr. J. J. Goodwyn, was severe ly but not seriously jiurt, we hope. He fell out of the wagon accidentally and the wheels passed over his body inflicting painful wounds. We hope he will soon be well again. Wel dou NuWS. Captain Alexander Miller has placed in the possession of the La dies' Memorial Association of tliis city a complete roll of all the volun teers that left this country up to March 1862, for the late war between the States. The number exceeds 600. Newbern Journal. While in Wilmington last week, the writer, saw a ship being unbur dened of 500 heads of molasses. It was direct from Mantanzas, and from the enormous quantitj-, we should suppose not much was left on that Island. It was for Messrs. Worth & Worth, who call attention to it in another column. Raleigh Chronicle. Some days ago while a pine log three feet in diameter was being sawed at Captain Taylor's mill be tween Lockville and Osgood, the saw cut into a musket bail near the centre of the log. From the "rings betweeu the point where the ballen tereM and the outside of the log it was estimated that the Lall was shot into it a little over a hundred years ago. Chatham Record. The laving of the corner-stone of the Teachers' Assembly Building at Morehead, May 1st, will be a red- letter da3. Ihe Grand Lodge of Masons will be present, attended by an honor escort of the Knights Tern plar in full uniform ; also, the Gov ernor's Guard, the Governor and other distinguished persons. Several I Raleighit es are making arrangements to be present, We learn that Martin McQuage was found dead with bullet holes through his head Saturday night a few miles east of Plaiuview. We have no particulars but rumors say that the deceased was in company with other parties on Friday night who were drinking and there are suspicious of foul play. We regret to learn of such crimes in our civiliz- , T T . . . tu couuu.-.uaou vwuu. On Saturday last, William Johnson, a colored resident of this city, paid twenty-five cents for a pair of buck shad and wended his way home little dreaming that he would have his fish and make money besides Such was the case, however, for when his wife cleaned and pulled the shad, she discovered in the entrils of one a five ceut silver piece, and unou further examination came across fifty cents in silver. The half dollar piece was so corroded that it was almost black. It is a mystery how the fish got his wealth, and here is an opportunity for the man of theories to unravel Wilmington Messenger. The rains of last week, which were continuous from Sunday to Tuesday night throughout the whole country, have caused another freshet in the Cape fear, nearly equal to the fa mous one of 1885 it came within an ace of reaching It, and quantities of logs, drift wood, etc., have been carried away. We learn that all along the Cape Fear & Yadkin Val ley Railway the streams are higher than evei before known, and .the whole country has been flooded, but thus far we have heard of no disas ters to bridges or mill dams, all of which seemed to have escaped. At Walnut Cove, Town Fork Creek did some damage to the railroad track. Fayetteville Observer. We understand that there are all sorts of rumors being hearlded broadcast over the country in regard to the "small pox in Goldsboro." We are gratified however to hear that the press of the State has gen erously taken "ho notice of the fla grant misrepresentations that are said to be current in this regard. As the Argus stated at the time of the discovery, there was one case of varioloid that of a vaccinated Scotchman, who came here direct from a quarantined emigrant ship and got work in one of our factories : Promptly he was removed to quar antine and is now convalescent. There has not been at any time a small pox scare here. Goldsboro is too clean and healthy a city for smallpox to get any foothold here, and our people know it : therefore they have not been at all frightened. Gold.sboro A-gus.

This crop was cultivated very large ly iu some sections of the fciouth the past year with great success. It uhould be sown or planted early in spriug, when required lor forage, sow either broadcast or thickly in rows abouS three feet apart, or if desired for tin grain, plant a few seed every foot in the row and thin out to three or four stalks, according to the quality of the soil. When the grain turns while, clip the heads, and other heads wi 1 come ; this ensuies the largest yield of grain. It gives the best res alts by cutting the first growth for forago when in early bloom, and letting th second growth yield both grain and forage late in fall. If forage only ia desired, the seed may be drilled light ly iu tlie furrow. It withstand droiht and is particularly adapted to the thin land of the Cotton Belt section. The grain vhen greund makes excel lent food for stock, and casual to flour for bread. Price per lb -o cts ; 5 les. S1.00 For sale at FEIZEK'S DRUG STORE.
