The Profrewiye Farmer publis is thii week en address proper 3 1 bj a committee appointed at tho recent session of tho State Farmors A.ii anoe. It is addrossod to tho ' far mers and former members I tho Farmers' Alliance in North Caro lina." We understand it wua main ly gotten np by Maj. W. A. (J aharu of Lincoln county. It iH a inBor Ttive paper, and, aa wo have often said, if the Alliance could bo re or ganized on tho lines laid down in this address it could do a groat work for the farmers of tho State. We will publish tho address in fall in our next issue. Droyfus has been pardoned. This is something in the direction of jus tice for this ill treated citiz3n of a great country, but it does not wipe out the disgraoe to that citntry brought about by the maci.'ost in justice he has suffered. II a ac quittal by the court would have been far better and France would hare been looked upon in n f ar more favorable light by the civi lised nations of the earth. The whole affair shows up the military department of France to be a mass of corruption, and it should teach this country the great dun; -r of building up and maintain;- a vast standing army. Such aa ln Btution will be a standing menace to justice. Away with "lav rial ism." 1 Studird GiDgt. In the Yorkvillo Knquinr, re ceived to-day, we find same 'iter esting news about tho N .rrow Gauge railroad. It will bo i,'-ticed that the Enquirer eeonis to nink that these facts can be relied upon. In connection with this, we ouid say tbst it has just been nU t in the papers that tho bou fur Kailroad has bought tho Cm road, This would seem to in i . i that the Southern is in tin iUr.1, and that it may not nurpr.fi any one to see our road in the hu is of that corporation in a short i lnlc. Much of the business ul the line will be benefitted by a c iinge of this kind, but Lenoir may it be so mnch benefitted. Her' ,j the news the Enquirer brings ut: "Tek Envjikkr has coufirma tioD of the Columbia Site's tory of tho proposed change of tho Car olina and North-Western railroad into a standard gaugo.

The Paris expresses delight at tho action of the government. The Gazette de France decla:cs that the pardon tears up the judge ment of the court-martial, although Loubet solemnly promisod that it would be rospected. The Droits de L'LIomme declares that the decision honors the gov ernment, which restores the martyr to his family. It adds that tho cabinet recoguizas Dreyfus' inno cence, which was already patent to ihe whole world. Tho Cote de Lbonrse prai.-CB M. Scheurer-Kestner, who died on tbo day of his triumph. It suggests that a statue beere-ted in his honor. The Croii ayers that the pardon is a slap in the face for ti couri martial and an insult to tn: army.

The strange oase of Luoy Younp, tbe colored girl, who, the worship ers at ''Baby Z on" cburoh believe, was "stricken by tho 'ord" while at the moo mum' bo oh, continues in its mystery at tbe ebnieb, and the sessions of the protracted meet ing still in progress have full housei of the faithful. Luoy went to the altar on the night, of Soptember 1, and while in a devout attitude she suddenly fell over and a l efforts to aid her in 'coming to" failed. She wu re moved to a house near by, where he remained for a week in a state of semi- consciousness, and tt was then decided lo take her b ick to the ol urch aod "cirap" with her This was done and the girl's res ounding prayers at intervals aroused to the keenest pitch the emotions of tbe congregation!. Tbe girl lies on a pallet spread in a corner of the floor near the pulpit and she is closely covered with a quilt and the we gbt of a heavy uls ter. She has nut partaken of solid food since she wu stricken." Her enly tipressed deaire is for water. Attempts have been made to have her drink milk, but she turts from it, and, though some of the fluid hu been given her, the diet for 14 days has been almost entirely of water. A physician was called in by the watohers and his opinion was that the girl was all r ght and no medicine was given.
