Raleigh. Feb. 13?After three
hours of debate in the senate yesterday,
the Australian ballot niii is in j
he best shape it has yet been in,'
from the standpoint of those who I
seek a real secret ballot law. The j
measure will be voted on today* j

" > I
were the adoption of three amendments
offered by Senator Brough-1
ion of Wake, the same amendments!
that had been advocated oy Governor
Gardner, and the defeat of all
other !us'or amendments cej?R*dered.
* The Broug'nton amendments, supported
by Senator Johnson, co-author
of the bill, and others who are
backing the administration* provide
lor:
The county chairman of each political
party may provide a list of
pti nampr from each political party I
for each precinct, from which the!
marker of markers of each political i
party in the general election is or i
are to be selected.
There shall be no markers in pi i-1
maries; the election officials, being]
of the party holding the primary, are
to render assistance in preparation
of ballot or voting requested by the
voter.
The provision in the eommit.ee
bill by which county election hoards j
could hold primaries under the old j
rather than the new law is cut out,
making the Austarian ballot apply to |
all elections and primaries in the j
.-ue- thev municioai. rnnni.v .
state or national.
The amendments had the solid |
backing of the IS Republican members

In the House
The Winston bill for submitting j
io u vole of the peonle t.he ques ion j
of calling the first constitutional convention
since 1875 passed second j
reading in the house, but was held
over for final action on objection of j
Mull of Cleveland, to third reading
yes -onlay. The bill passed by a
vote- of U-l to 15, but it requires twothirdu
vote of the members of the
\ house und a fight looms for today
/ that makes it not at all certain that
too Dill will get by on its filial reading-.
The house passed the Smith bill
to re-submit to the voters a const)
XyT-]idk-ial-wIie
by creating solicitorial districts
scarate and distinct from judicial
districts. This would permit increas
ing the number of judges without a
corresponding increase in solicitors.
The house also moved to cut ihe
penalty on redemption of lands sold
for taxes from 20 to 12 per cent lor
the first year and from 10 to 8 per
cent for the second year by passing
the finance committee version of the
Ewing and Lumpkin measures.

DOES SCIENTIFIC F ARMING ,e
AND STOCK RAISING PAY ? i p
I
' Editor Democrat: !h
1 I am not an old anil experienced ! fj
farmer, nor a special tiller of the soil fi
I know enough to know that agTicul- ti
: ture is the basis of all wealth, pros- j
perity ami luxury. ! realize from i jr
personal observation that a great j f;
r change has taken place with the ir
farming class in the last quarter of a h
' century. I have heanl the older men ci
; tell about the conditions that pre- d
vailed when they were young men.
How the farmers lived in houses
where the rain held the roofs in per- i
* feet contempt, and the snow drifted \
' joyfully on the floors and beds. In
1 rr.ar.y ir.3tap.css they -h?id?uo'_ barns
' and the stock was exposed to the
1 blasts of winter, and in the spring
* it took all the corn and oats that
I could be. stuffed into tire catxie to;prevent
actual starvation. The I fcj
' wagons stood in the sun and' n
rain, the plows rusted in the fields.: f?
The women were supposed tojv.
2 know the art of making Ares without
fuel. During big deep snows, the 11
farmer became a hunter, and while j s
u chasing foxes over the mountains, | s
* and the rabbits over the hills, the; n
' women folks were busy nulling pick'
ets from the garden fence, clap d
' beards from the house, and every m
stray plank was seized upon j&rja
!t kindling. Everything was done in
the hardest way. Everything about j ?
the farm was disagreeable. No won ! ^
^ aer the fo. rr.cr's hoys became dis-Ji
gusied when they saw mat everv- .
^ thing worked together for evil. By,
^ the time they were 21 years of age, j ^
they loft the desolate and dreary 1 <
, farm and rushed to the towns and J ^
[[ cities, where they desired to become
a bookkeeper*,- doctors, merchants,.-,
j railroad men, insurance agents, or
, anything to avoid the drudgery of ?
^ 'the farm. The hoys wanted to en- i
e gage in something that offered quick j
returns. They built railroads, estab-j
.> lished barks and insurance compan-;
ies. X^ey speculated in stocks in j :
Wall Itreet, and gambled in vain in i ,
Chicago. They became rich. They!
' lived in palaces. Thev rode in cav
' riages, They pitied their poor broth-1 |
0 ers left on the farm. 11
j The farmer's hoys who loved ; (
father and moiher._.&iid r?tiioinpit atii
I home and had an honest pride in j
their business feew prosperous and I (
. | happy Thi y saw the railroad presi- [;
j ' ident a bankrupt, and the road in the j ]
t j hands of a receiver. They have seen !!
: the hank president abscond with al;
u; handful of stolen money, and the ;
j insurance company a wrecked and !
;l ruined fraud. By these experiences I j
ana observations these boys have
? I learned that the only solvent people, i
_! as a class, the only independenfT-ptfo- j
b pie, are the tillers of the soil. ] I
Our country is filled with the idle j
^ and unemployed, ar.d the threat
question asking for an answer its:!3
l-Whnt shall ho .inn,, wit.ii these men? L:
!* j Send them to the roads? Hold them !
c j in everlasting contempt? No, edu- i:
,; cate them to cultivate the soil, and:'
1 teach them the value of manhood;'
I and character that is able to stand j I
i four-square against every wind tha' fl
s blows. i !
? Education is a splendid asset, to [ c
e any young man, but the young man 1 i
B must not suppose that education is'i
~ thrown away upon them unless that ;
become lawyers, doctors, venders of [1
TiPnnfc AV cpurirnr ninAlSnA tifrr-ri+c ; 1
j They must get rid of the idea that i )
IJ a little education unfits pine for '.
j work. Most young men seem will-' i
? j ing to do anything that can be dofie
... j in a town, in a house, ir, an office, 1
(c j but they avoid farming as they
..[would a baa case of leprosy. Nearly jj
y every young man educated 1:1 this j ?
. way is simply ruined. Such an edu- j (
cation ought to he called ignorance, i :
_ j Examine the market reports and [ <
j note the fancy prices paid for cattle J i
and sheep. Good cows are bringing; i
f from $50 to $100 each, and sheep 1 i
j and lambs bring almost unheard of 11
5 prices. If idle lands and idle hands | c
y were joined in mutual partnership, t
the question: "Does farming pay?'* !<
3 would be answered. [
q There is a quiet about the life of j
the farmer, and the hope of a se-! j
s rene old age, that no other business j t
, or profession can promise. A profes ; {
sional man is doomed sometime to | j
feel that his powers are waning. lie ,;
is doomed to see younger and j $
, stronger men pass him in the race j 1
. I of life. He will be last when once 1 <
t j be was the first. But the farmer' 1
e goes on. as if he was in partnership j
i with nature?he breathes the sweet;
ejair of tne-Tieldc.ond lives with the!
.itrees and flowers. There is tio coti-H
rjstant and frightful strain upon his!!
i.j mind. His nights are filled with i 1
sleep and rest. He watches his fat j <
e;cr.ttle graze upon the hills,-and hears H
y I the pleasant rain falling upon his |
