She had first come to Lowmoor to try and get, the place jof teacher in the district school. But the trustees had their particular favorite, and when the spectacled Miss Keene was appointed poor little Dorothy found herself pen niless in a strange place. 'Whatcanldo?' she said, piteously.

The New (York Tribune contains an teresting article on the progress of the wheat-growing industry. It 6b- I serves that the wheat-growing industry has been steadily moving West for more than half a century. Western New York and eastern Pennsylvania were once the great wheat sections. Then Ohio had its turn. (Now the counties of that State which: forty years ago shipped large quantities of wheat to the East do not raise enough to supply their own popular tion with bread. Afterwards Indiana, Southern Michigan, Northern Illinois and Wisconsin made wheat the chief crop, to be succeeded by Iowa, an now by Miu nesota. Nebraska end Dakota. The wheat! belt cannot move much further West.! It will soon reach the great gras sy plains where there is not sufficient rainfall for successful agriculture. Be yond the Rocky Mouutaius, in Oregon and Washington Tenitory, a new wheat country of immense extent is being de veloped ; but on the Atlantic side of tho continent the area where wheat-farming I , . f i.j..

It is very clear iv". .. wrw Ioan" uie laws from time to-lime en - t machinery by which the will of the o- pie at the. ballot box is ascertained; The office or position of .Congressman, is one or law for its existencp. It is provided for by - the constitution and laws of the TJuited States. - Congress itself fixes the. number of Representatives to which each State is entitled and not .the States , themselves, and Congress nowhere fixes the machine ry for the States. For this reasou j the States onlv Drovide for the election of such - nnmber as Congress by its law gives " eacn or sucu btates. if a person is votcu ior at uie election lie must be a a . . . a candidate for an office recognized and named in the election laws of our State, For this reason every officer to which wo have heretofore been entitled is mention ed, and a ballot box provided in which such officer is voted for. In our election laws the State officers are mentioned by name,' members of the General Assembly are mentioned bit name, and bo with county officers and a Congressman for each district. Judges and Solicitors are also provided for. Where is. there any provision in our election machinery for Congressman at large f He is not known to the statute law of North Carolina. Our election laws providing for the elec tion of certain officers make provision also for a ba Uot box to contain the votes for each officer so named. Going still further the law ia its certainty and par ticularity directs the exact number 0 boxes the county commissioners are to provide. In order to ascertain the will of the peo pie the county commissioners are to pro vide boxes in which officers known to the laws of North Carolina are to" beAroted for. With the election laws as they now are, what authority will the county com missioners have for adding auothcr box and appointing two Judges of election more tli an the law authorizes them' to dot Before the election and when they are fixing tho receptacles for ballots they take the statutes of the State as they are I written. They doift go by what that man sa3s or this mau says. They most be governed by the late as enacted by our Legislature. Now do the county commis sioners know we are entitled to a Con gressman at large. What law tells them sot Who is to direct them to provide a box for him t Who tells them how many Judges they-are to appoint to preside over a box they have 110 authority of law for' opening? What tells-J hem whether the Judges iru to be of diJiVreut political parties ur of the same party, and if the latter, iif what party t Iu a word, what law regulates aud -guards this box by details as it does all tlie other boxes T What law says on what kind of the Congressman t-large shall bo for ? Shall it be written or printedi shall it be .on white or red paper t shall the ballot be without device? All these . de - tails are mentioned in our election - law . for State aud county omcers because they j are named in the law. Suppose the coun- ly commissioners uo proviuu iuim uoi ior the extra Congressman, and a ticket is deposited on red paper instead -of-white and with a device 00 it, shall it be thrown out or counted t.
