Views Of Thomas A- Hendricks Chicago, September 20. "I have just returned Irom Iowacampaigne said ex-Gov. Thomas A. Hendricks "The Republican party is taking the prohibition side of the qudstion. Formerly there was a high tax on the sale and manufacture of all liquors except ale, beer and wine. Now the Kepublicans propose to extend the tax to ale, wine and leer. Absolute prohibition is sure ly its cry in Iowa. The canvass is being vigorously carried on by the Democrats, and they feel very confident of electing Mr. JKinne for Governor. I went to Iowa to pay the political debts I. owed. Mr. Kinue has been very efficient in Indiana when we have been in po: litical extremities. He will be elected beyond a doubt and the rest of the Democratic candidates on the State ticket have, I consider every reason to be confident of elec: tion." "What do yon suppose was Henry L. Pierce's reason .for de clining the Republican' -nomination in Massachusetts! "I really don't know what .about it. Butl r will be re-elected, I think He is popular, and gets the votes of the masses of the peo ple of both parties. He. is t go-ahead, dashing, brilliant fellow.

ABOUT "FARMING: :o NOTES GLEANED FROM OUR EXCHANGES. A COTTON T I VK Kit. Mr. S. W. Alison, a millionaire farmer of Illinoisstakes his reputa tion as an expert on the prediction, that the corn crop of this year will be larger 300,000,000 bushels t ban it was last. ; The New Orleans "Times Democrat" expresses the opinion that the cotton crop of 1883-84 is owned by the producers, and wil leave more surplu s money in th country than anv cotton crop or recent years... Dr. W. J. Lawrence brings us the phrasing news that Mr. Benj. O. Savage's cotton picker is a suc cess. He has seeu it at work. In rank cotton lefore the leaves are off it is at present of little account. The leaves cover up the bolls so that the bristles do not reach them When the leaves are off, the cotton is piemen out cieaniy. As a pea picker it is a complete success, i!o- ing its work rapidly and well. It can at least five acres of cotton or peas in a day. Dr. Lawrence now thinks that it Is only a question of a short time when it would nick any kiud of cotton. Mr. Savage has sent a picker to the Louisville imposition. He should send one to Boston. Tarboro "Southerner " Fwman's Farm, We find the latest information from Furman's "intensified" farm as.it is sometimes called in tne lo cal columns of the Milledgville "Union aud Recorder." Two woll known farmers of the vicinity, Mr. Obadiah Arnold and Mr. Win. Sawyer,recently went out to the famous farm in order to see how matters are progressing. The re sult of their observations is that both agree in estimating that tbe sixty acre farm if the seasons are fa vorable, will yield 125 bales of cot ton of average weight. In addition to tl'.isthejeotton is absolutely free from the rust that is to lie seen on the cotton of some of Judge Fur man's neighbors. We have no doubt that there are many farmers tired of heariugof the intensive or "intensified" sys tem of farming, but in spite of this it is the only system that is worth considering in connection with the millious ot acres of worn out cotton amis to be found in Georgia. It is probably true tnat many farm ers who have experience with .the intensive system have made par. tialor complete failures. It i very difficult in such cases to cou- ince either those who tail or their friends that the failure is due to the men themselves and not to the system- The intensive system is no more valuable than any other system or lack of system unless it is carried on with intelligence. Judge Furman has discovered the particular food that cotton requires on his particular land. Any oth er farmer, by the exercise of a ittle patience and intelligence can do the same thing. Ater all, farming is pretty much like other pursuits- Those who pursue it intelligently succeed, while those who persue it in the old fashion w ay will always remain in comparative poverty. Yenor's Weathar Predictions. Be prepared for an early eold- wintery snap in OctolKj but re member that the . "winter is not yet.'" . Christmas will probably be "green" ami wet, and the New Year of 1SK4 balmy and open. The entry of December will be v ry cold; its exit just the oppo site, with scacity of snow in ma jority of sections. The up-and-down "e,hop-wavey condition of the temperature line is likely to continue through an tumu months. There" is considerable warmth yet due the year 1883 in most quar ters of the northern hemisphere. The fore portion of October will probably be very fine, with warm weather. Frosts are likely to oc cur about the 5th and 6th, and this condition will be followed by a rather cold, wet and unsettled period. The latter half of the month will develop a nam tier of severe storm peri rds. A Tennessee Teacner. Tennessee has at least one pub lic school teacher who might dispensed with. He goes to his school barefooted, in bis shirt sleeves, without anj- collar on, his shirt bosom open and his pants roiled up to bis kees, notwilhstand the fact he has nearly grown ladies among his scholars. It is , said that water has the same effect upon him as upon a mad dog. Til V GOD'S, AND TRUTHS'." Fred Douglass lints Social Equality. A colo K ed Man foe Vice Pees idf.xt oe a Place ix the Cabi net Recogxitiox to Be Forc- . " ED." The following is an extract from Fred Douglass's sjieech at the ne gro national convention: "Now that we are Tree men we must, like free men, Like the reins in our own hands and compel the world to receive us as their equals. This city, metropolitan 'in size, cosmo politan in ideas, is 'still not free and liberal enough in its opinions to receive us as equals in its pub lic buildings-ami IrotefeitFbis is why we are sitting In national conven tion.. We have been given num erous platforms, but we are still in the same condition- What we want is not' words idle epithets in our praise but action. ,We have never been helped, but as sistance comes from all sides to help us in our downward course. If we come as cart-drivers or ser vants we are received, but when we come as scholars, as statesmen, the color line is raised. Tho col ored man belongs to an oppresed and abject race in the United States. The trades unions refuse him admission, aud mechanics re fuse him as au apprentice. Our business is to organize lor our rights and for the redress of our wrongs. Some say we should not hold this convention,for it menaces the Republican . party. Parties are made for men, and not men for parties. If parties do right, stand by them; but when they do not uphold the principles laid down In their platforms, down with them. Follow no parly blindly. We have learned how to talk, and let us speak for ourselves about civil rights. The stamping out of the black Republicans of the South has been done iu the face ol the Republican party. The conven tion should implore Congress for the restoration of justice and for justice and for the abolition of this most detestable state of affairs. The New" York "Evening Post" makes a great mistake when it says: 'Be modesty you have been but tvyenty years out of bondage.' t hese officeholders are afraid of our aspirations. We do aspire and will continue to do so. We shall never cease being a despised and excluded class so long as we are shut out from political prefer ment. We cannot ignore the fact that to this is to be attributed the degradation of our race. Elevate one of our class to the Vice Pres hjency or to a positiou in the cab inet and our equality shall have been established. In&rsoil on LoYe Robert Ingersoll has a great amount of pot-try in his composi tion, and utters gems of thought as beautiful as tiny any ever. 'spok en. ' Here are-a few from a recent lecture. i "And then you know, I like to think that love is eternal; that if you reaiiy love the woman for her sake, you will her no matter what she may do; that if she really loves vou for your sake, the same; that love does not look at alterations through the alterations of time. Through the mask of years if you really love her, you will always see the face you loved and loved and won. And I to thiuk of it. If a man loves a woman, she does not ever grow old to him, and the woman whv really loves a man does not pee that, he grows old. He is not decrepit to her; he is not tremulous; ho is not old, he is not bowed. She always sees the same gallant fellow that won her handand heart. I like to think of it in that way, and as Shakesphere says, "Let time reach with bis sickle as far as he can; although be can reah rnddy cheeks and red lips and Hashing eves, he cannot quite reach love.' T like to think of it. We will go down the hill of life together, and enter the shadow one with the oth er. As we may go down we may hear the ripple of the laughter of our grand children, and the bints of spring, and youth and love will siner once more noon the leafless o branches of the tree of love to think it in that way abso lute eouals. hanm- and free, al ur own.

Accompanied by. a party of clever friends from Wilson, i the writer had the pleasure., last week ol vis itiug the e.Ksitious now open and in full blast, at Boston. . We notice that very little has been said throiuh the newspapers alnuit the Foreign Exposition, .and many be lieve that the arrangement of the Exposition is similar to that ob served at the Philadelphia Centen nial, .where the main building con tained the exhibits from every State and country. But at Boston this is not so there are two sepa rate and distinct ExKsitions, the merican and the Foreien. held uildings, erected for the pur pose, several hundred yards apart. Yt the Foregh Exposition building we saw exhibits from almost every foreign country, and What was qually interesting to an Amercan iu many instances, representatives from foreign countries came to look after their ow n exhibits. Without attempting . a description of the many objects of interest to a visi tor there, we would saj- tnat in our opinion this ex)Msition is in many respects, equal to the foreign ex hibits which attracted so much at tention at the Philadelphia Centen nial. - '. ". -. Going over, to the American Ex msition building, the first thing which attracted our attention upon entering, was the .North Carolina exhibit. This is in the centre of the main floor, and the area oceu- lied by it is 50 x 100 feet. Every depratnient of the native indus tries of the State is.arranged with striking taste, and though sur rounded by the many -.-evidences of the iuventive genius, thrift, and industry of the progressive New Englanders, while looking through onr own excellent exhibit we leit proud here to claim North Carolina is our native State., The Board of Agriculture of oar State appropria ted ten thousand dollars to defray the expenses of the exhibition and the labor of making the collection ind arranging the exhibit at Bos ton devolved uihii Mont lord.

To them and to their assistants is the credit, which this excellent exhibit reflects upon North , Carolina, in a lame measure due. - The exhibit of' gems, ores and minerals from,. North Carolina was the finest that we ever saw from any State. We met, while in Boston, a young man who wore a beautiful ring set with a North Carolina Amethyst, There are about 40 lots or dif ferent specimens of ore taken from North Carolina soil and, it is said that some of the copper ore from this State is shipped to Swansea Wales. There were-several lieau tif ul specimens of Hiddenife- on exhibition which atttracted much attention. This is a newly dis covered green crystal, which nfav be easily anil beautifully- polished uid sells, by. weight as high as diamond. Prof. Wm. E. Hidden? who gave name to the crystal is present at the exhibition to en tertain those seeking mtormatioii relative to the object of -his discov ery. The exhibit of woods and tim Iter is also excellent. We were in formed that this department in cluded 120 varieties of rough tim ber, upwards of 150 of finished wood, and more' than 100 done in varnish. We. noticed a seeiinen of White oak, cut 17 feet, from the ground, which measured five and one half feet in diameter. There is a large Chestnut log on exhibi tion whose lower section is hollowed out. and a Boston paper is authori ty for the Statement hat this was used for some time, by a rail road in North Carolina, as a ticket office. The .display of silk worms, raw silk twine., and threads was suffi cient to convince the visitor" that the success of the silk industry is not only a Jiossibility, but a near probability in North Carolina. The display of native wines was very creditable, ai d the tobacco on exhibition from Granville,, was the finest we ever saw. There are a number of varieties of granite and marble,' obtaine- from iliffereut parts We noticed a fine of the State, specimen of granite lrom V Hsou county. Considering the short time al- lotted to the - department for mak ing the collection and the season ot the year at which it was made the display of agricultural products is very gotxl, though we have seen this department sur passeu at our state fairs. "King voiiou u mere in every Jorm. As an were looking at the exhibit of corn wc were very much struck --NUMBER 34 with the remarks of a gentleman from one of the Western states who stood near as. As he picked up one of those long heavy ears of corn he said; a state that produced such corn as this ought not to buy western meat." We blushed to concede the justico and Toreo of the rebuke. We were prepared to find that the North Caroliua ex hlbit bad lieen a little exacomrod in the newspaper accounts through M'vamj or its friends and we were all tl,e ,llore gratified when we saw for ourselves -.that all that had lieen said 1 in its praise was .deserved. - That North Caro lina will le amply repaid for their exhibit, which in its design and arrangement is more than mere show to almost the idle- gaze of the curious visitor, is, we think be yoml peradventure. The spirit and temper or the excellent ad dress of Governor .larvis who sjKike for the South, the applause with which it was received, the courtesy and delicate atteution shown to him as the Governor of North Carolina during his visit to IJosion all go to show that there is a Iwimjide reconciliation between all once hostile sections, and that the jieopleare dete; mined hence forth to disregard the sectioual cry of bliistaiit -demagogues,;'- and de vote their energies to the' prosperi ty and welfare of the whole .conn, try. What North Carolina needs is that her soil, climate, and re- Miiiiees snoum tie known to the world. The object of North Caro lina's extensive exhibit at Boston was, as far as tar as oasible, to meet this necessity by attracting attention from abroad, displaying the products of her soil and her natural resources and thereby en couraging emmigrants and the in. vestments offiue capitoI necesary to fully develop her untold Wealth. We repeat that the exhibit could have been left in the handsof notio who would have shown more zeal, pride and untiring energy to ac complish the object for which it was intended than Mr. McCehee, Dr. Dabney and their clever as sistants Prof. Hidden and Mr. W. H. Kerr, who lias many friends in Wilson, and T. K. Bru tier, editor of the Watchman,, a single man ( this for the benefit of North Caro lina girls who uiay visit Boston while he is there) and the hand somest member or the Stated pie'ss association. The exhibit from North Carolina was. upon the whole, very fine, and the statement that it far surpasses that made by iinyother state state goes without contradiction. To attempt tomen tion everything or interest which we saw at the Americau Exposi tion would require more - time, space, and energy than we have at our command. Every person can find something to -interes him there. After walking .through the one building-until we were tir en and weary, we stopped at head qu uters for North Carolina i infor mation but we were unable lo as certain the whereabouts of our friends. After sauntering around or some time, we found each one in different departments indulging his Strongest pioKMisity George Green had struck up with a man w ho had on exhibition an eaty opening catti.- proof gate and the gentleman was intently list ening t he useful improvements sug- gesied by Mr. Green.

In past ages, the Russians were very much distinguished as wife ls-aters, and perchance went so far as to say that, "If in Muscovy the wome i are Iieatcn once a week tney w.l! m t le gjod; therefore they look for it weekly. And the women say, il their husbands du not qead them, they should not love them.", This seems Incredi bfe ; but singularly enough.
