Franklin was dining with a small party of distinguished gen tlemen, when one ot tbem said: "Here are three nationalities reprsented; I am French, and my friend here is English, and Mr. Fiankhn is an American. Let each one propose a toast. It was agreed to and the Eng lishman'v turn came first. He arose and in tetone of a Briton bold, said: "Here's to Great Britain, the sun that gives light to all the nations of the earth." The Frenchman wasratberltaken aback at thi, but he proposed: "Here's to France, th: moon whose magic rays move the tides cf the world." Franklin then arose and with an air of quaint modesty said: "Here's to George Washington, the Joshua of America, who commanded the sun and moon to stand still and they stood still."

The low price will tell a big tale in the lamily of many, many farmers in North Carolina, and many merchants ns well will be put to it to meet their bills and stave off a crash, for five cents a pound for cotton means paraly sis to the country where this product is grown for .a money ciop. Whether the reason is on ac count of the "financial system ot the government," or "the sup-1 ply is greater than the demand," it is not within the province of this writer to here elaborate. The cold fact is the same. "The Phillistines are upon you, Sam son," and unless something is done, anJ that speedily, the homes of many families within the cotton belt will not have the good, wholesome food they ought to have. We remember well, but a few years ago, the molasses trar'e was large at our ports. The quantity imported into this State was. indeed, enormous; but, seeing from the low prices of cotton and tobacco that they could not afford to mortgage their crops in advance of the raising, and then include this ar ticle in it, to be paid for out of the next crop, they went to work and planted sorghum, and are now making a splendid ar ticle of syrup, and have virtually ruined the importation of mo lasses into North Carolina. The meat trade in the great Northwest has been diminished in a large degree, and surely we ought to raise every pound we eat. This article of food, added to the mortgage, makes it count up largely, when we have it to do, and, therefore, farmers ought to give attention to their hogs now, and keepit rip until March, if ntcessary, to get enough of meat to run tbem through an other year, so as to keep this article also out of the mortgage. Thert is one other thing I want to call your attention to. In fact, the otheis might have been left out. I desired to call your attention to these to show you that if we had given the same diiigence to other food crops that we have given to tneat and molasses, and especial ly the latter, thire would be nothing to go in the mortgage except, perhaps dry goods and fertilizers; and, very probably, if these were all we had to mort gage for, we would not have to mortgage long, for, if we carry this line of thought to its last analysis, much of the fertilizing material we use we would find at home (if we care for It as we should), especially that of am monia, and we would only have to buy acid phosphate and pot ash. Now the very thing we ought to talk about' most is flour Everybody knows that the big things in a mortgage for supplies is meat, molasses and flour. mean, when these have to be counted in, the mortgage runs up high before the year is out (and a twelve-months is a long time to the man who did not raise his home food the year be fore); and if these are not in, the mortgage does not amount to m ch. L ean this, personally, for all of uk -the landlord as well as the ttiant. I mean, further. that every one ol you, before De cember, ought to sow enough wheat to provide for your family and have some to spare. It is not worth your while to argue that you cannot compete with the great Northwest in growing wheat: neither can you compete with it in crowing meat. Nor . can you compete with the West Indies in making molasses; yet you have learned by sad expe li-ience that at the low prices o (the money croDS. you cannot w J buy their meat, and, therefore, raise your own; or their molas ses, and therefore, every year you plant enough of sorgbum tor vour own use. and some to spare. This same experience by thi.- time has taught you tbat wheat must In: raided as well as the others, so that flour can be taken out ot the mortgage. I know that wheat can be raised ia Eastern North Caroli na, and with more profit than cotton can, at five cents per po-jod with which to buy flour, and every farmer who fails to plant wheat, it is because he has a hope tbat his cotton and to bacco will bring him such a price as will justify him not to do so. This is a delusion. Corn is the maiustay of our farm?, a;d io man, for a single moment, would entertain the thought that we mut nor grow corn because we cannot compete with the Northwest, and we plant it sufficient quantity to supply us, and have a little to to spare. It is not a good excuse to say your land will not make wheat. I have traveled all over the cot ton belt in this State, and know that fair wheat can be grown on a great majority of thefarms. I dare say that the average of corn is not as great to the acre as the farmers desire, but corn a your barn is better than in somebody's else barn, when you have no money to buy. So it is with wheat. You reed not plant your whole plantation in wheat, but have enough. Don't depend on the and that has exausted itself this year in making a crop, but manure it and have it nice. In the western part of the State, no good farmer ever thinks of planting wheat with out putting from two hundred to four hundred pounds of acid phosphate with potash to the acre. What the wheat does not take up, the peas sown after wards will, and nothing will be ost. N. C. Bulletin. A Historic Chamber. The chamber of the Supreme Court of the United States which was partially wrecked by a gas explosion Sunday evening, Nov. 6ib, is one of the most intere-t- ng apartments this side of the ocean, it has been occupied bv the Supreme Court since Decem ber, I860. Roger Brook Taney, of Maryland, was then Chief Justice. This chamber was built for the Senate and was the first portion of the Capitol com pleted. Into it the Senate moved in 1800 and occupied it until the winter of 1859. It was the scene of the debates be tween the great Senators in the first halt of the century. Here Roliert Young Hayne made his great speech, and DanieljVYebster made his famous reply. It was here that Henry Clay, Thomas Hart Benton, Ezekiel Chambers and Jefferson Davis debated the question which finally culmi nated in the Civil War. It was in this hall that the Wilmot pro viso was discussed and Calhoun fought annexation after the Mexican war, and it was here that, after making a speech in reply to Lewis Cass, the great man fell back exhausted and was carried to his deathbed in the old Capitol. The Old Senate Chamber, along with the rest of the inte rior of the Capitol was gutted and burned by the British in 1814-. Its present hoe architec ture, like that of nearly all the remainder of the Capitol, is the work of Benjamin H. Latrobe, the grandfather of ex-Mavor Ferdinand C. Latrobe, of Balti more. rvx.

Makes tke food more ovml Hum THE CHIEF DEVIL OF ALL He Escaped Too Lightly During the Recent Campaign Should be Held to a Rigid Account Statiil Ianlmark. The two worst enemies that North Carolina hn at this great crisis ol the white citizrn ot th- State are Jeter Pritchard, Unitti' States Senator from North Caro lina, and Dan Russell, Governo? of North Carolina." We find the above in acontem pjrary. It was written nnr printed before the elections Yes, Pritchard is bad enough in ali conscience, and so arc Thomp son, Holton, Ayer and all tht other leaders of the fusion devil try. But we desire to go 01. record here and now as suving that we have had little patience with tbe policy of thr campaign which hag sought to place all tbe infamy on Pritchard and Ru- scll et al and their ignoiantne gio dupes, while tbe yeryebiti of luem all the most infamous of them all Marion Butler, i allowed to go practically with out blame. Tbe others are bad enough, God knows, and tbe wrongs tbey bavedonethe State kboul.i and will haunt them to their graves, but we believe in giving eyea tbe devil bis dues and in placing the responsibility where it belongs. Every man of intelligence in the State knows tbat Butler is responsible for tbe conditions which now exist and which have existed in the State for four years. Tbe others have given assistance to the best of their ability, it i true; butsurpassing all of them in ability and capaci ty to engineer and promote the ends which gave fusionists suc cess, he worked out the plot to ts successful conclusion and to him is due the infamy of its suc cess. It was Marion Butler toho, by persistently and assiduously in stilling prejudice and bate into a portion ot the people whose con fidence he had succeeded in win ning, divided the white people in 92. It was he who, step 07 step, led his forces into a coali ion with the Republicans ana negroes In '94 and '96 and tvs elected Pritchard to the Senate, Russell Governor. It was Butler who, realizing tbat the cocdi tions which he had brought about in North Carolina; realiz- ng that the honest white people ot tbe State of al' parties would not long tolerate the infamous dynasty which he bad 6Ct up. but would come together and overtbiowit; and knowing that f it was overthrown be would be crushed in its ruins it was Butler who sought by overtures ast spring to unite with the Democrats on condition that he be allowed to dominate tbem as be had dominated and traded upon his handful of follow ers. When his proposition wai scorned Butler, filled with venom and hate, went up and down the State in this campaign and made the meanest speeches by far that any white man has made in North Carolina. Pos sessed of all tbe art of a dema gogue, tilled with insatiable am bition, greed, malice, hatred and revenge, he used eyery means within his power to so incitr and inflame bis followers thai tbey would onceagain vote wit! the negroes and Republicans to keep in power the infamous gang which now controls t In state, and to bumble tbe Demo crats and if possible bring them to bis (Butler's) feet. To bim good 'government if North Carolina is nothing; t( him tbe abolition of trusts, frti silver and the other things o! which he prates so glibly an nothing. lie uses tbem onlv a a part and parcel of. bis scheme. Proclaiming that he is for wbitr supremacy, be would see even county in tbe State dominated by negroes rather than surren der one of his own telhif schemes.
